Depleted lineup tonight.
Andrei Kostitsyn is still recovering from having his bell rung against Phoenix.
Christopher Higgins is still recovering from his groin injury.
Georges Laraque was recovered from his groin injury; but after two games, it's acting up again.

from James Duthie of TSN,
Welcome to Habapalooza. The schedule isn't even complete yet, and already we know the Ring of Honour ceremony will be followed by (brace yourself): Builder's Night (Oct. 28), Memorable Games in Canadiens History DVD release (Nov. 4), Patrick Roy's sweater retirement (Nov. 22), Opening of Centennial Plaza (Dec. 4), Centennial Gala (Dec. 5), NHL All-Star Weekend (Jan 24-25), launch of the Canadiens Hall of Fame (April), NHL Draft (June 27), 8 "Vintage Jersey" games, and two "Original Six Salute" games. Oh ya, and the Stanley Cup Final* (June).
And I didn't even get to the Special Edition Montreal Canadiens Monopoly Game, the commemorative stamps, and a special minted Habs Loonie (the only Canadian dollar that may rise in value this year).

Big Hit On Kostitsyn

from the CP via TSN,
A nasty hit on Andrei Kostitsyn opened the door for Georges Laraque to show why the Montreal Canadiens went looking for an enforcer last summer.
Laraque was front and centre in a rough and chippy second period as the Canadiens downed the Phoenix Coyotes 4-1 on two goals from Alex Tanguay and a goal and two assists from Saku Koivu on Saturday night, although they look to have lost their gifted left winger Kostitsyn for an undetermined period.
"Whether it was cheap hit or not, when one of your best players gets knocked out like that, you're not going to say it's OK - you want to respond to it," said Laraque.

Canadiens Celebrate In Style

from Dave Stubbs of the Montreal Gazette,
At the Bell Centre last night, a century less a year after the Canadiens' historic first game, the encomiums - glowing, praiseful words, if your Latin is rusty - were still overwhelming.
Right through a needlessly nailbiting 4-3 shootout victory over the Boston Bruins.
It began hours earlier as a playoff-like atmosphere gripped Montreal well before the home opener of the Canadiens' 100th season. This after the team had taken five of six possible points in three road games, then returned home to a city where hockey matters and all else is filler until the next game.

100 Years Of Hockey In Montreal

from Scott Burnside of ESPN,
This is where the ghosts and the flesh and blood collide.
With the air around the Bell Centre thick with the history of a glorious past, the Montreal Canadiens prepared to kick off their 100th season with their first home game of the season Wednesday night.
No matter where players on the current roster turn, whether it's to look at the two dozen Stanley Cup banners dangling from the Bell Centre rafters or the ring of honor or even in the stands where former players like Steve Shutt were on hand to watch their morning skate, the current roster is reminded of the significant burden of the past in this hockey-crazed province.

Canadiens On The Offensive

from Sean Gordon of the Globe and Mail,
It's an ironic and somewhat startling move that reveals much about this coach: a calculated decision to do away with the role he personified during a stellar 19-year playing career.
As the Montreal Canadiens kick off their 100th season, Guy Carbonneau is electing not to ice a line of specialized checking forwards.
Instead, he will throw his lot in with a rotation of three offensive lines that will share more or less equal slices of ice time, and an aggressive, physical "energy" line that will likely play only sparingly.

Markov Asked To Shoot More

from the Montreal Gazette,
Andrei Markov loves the playmaker role but the veteran defenceman is being asked to shoot the puck more as he moves into a new role with the No. 1 power play in the National Hockey League. Markov moves from the left point to the right point and that's where the Montreal Canadiens look for the shot.
That's where Sheldon Souray launched his rockets two years ago. And that's where Mark Streit weaved his magic last season. With both players opting for free agency, Markov is being asked to fill the vacant spot.

The Stanley Cup is staying put in Hockeytown, according to a simulation of the 2009-08 season by Electronic Arts using its "NHL 09 video" game.
The simulation shows the Detroit Red Wings defeating the Montreal Canadiens four games to two in the Stanley Cup final, with Pavel Datysuk capturing the Conn Smythe Trophy.

Laraque the "Toughest in the League"
by Alanah McGinley on 10/02/08 at 07:44 PM ET
Comments (0)
From the Canadian Press,
Several NHLers consider Laraque the league's top heavyweight and make sure to give the six-foot-three, 245-pounder ample space.
"He's probably the toughest in the league," says Ottawa Senators enforcer Chris Neil. "He's strong, he's powerful. It's one of those things where you watch his fights, meanwhile, when he's out there on the ice, he's coming after you, so you've got to be aware."
Calgary Flames captain Jarome Iginla, no stranger to the rough stuff, agrees.
"I wouldn't want to get caught in a line brawl with him," he says with a smile.

Japanese authorities have placed low-cost carriers under greater scrutiny than their full-service peers, says the chief financial officer of Vanilla Air.
"Low-cost carriers are audited every three months," Katsuya Goto said at the ISTAT Asia conference. He adds that by comparison, most full-service carriers are only audited every 12 months.
Jetstar Japan and AirAsia Japan were reprimanded by Japanese regulators last year after oversights related to the maintenance of some of their aircraft emerged.
Osaka based low-cost carrier Peach Aviation also came under scrutiny after it revealed last week that one of its A320s flew below safe altitude while on approach to Ishigaki. It had earlier warned that due to a pilot shortage it would operate a reduced schedule between May and October this year.
Goto says that in addition to the regulatory pressures that low-cost carriers face, Japanese passengers also places a greater emphasis on safety, security and on-time performance than elsewhere in Asia. He says this could have been an issue for AirAsia Japan, which eventually led to All Nippon Airways buying out AirAsia from the joint venture last October.
Narita-based Vanilla Air emerged last December from the shell of AirAsia Japan. It has a fleet of six Airbus A320s, and flies a mix of domestic and international routes, focusing on leisure traffic.

Female impersonation need say nothing about sexual identity, but it has for a long time been almost an institutionalized aspect of gay male culture.
Although sparse in images documenting the gay community, pre-Stonewall gay male photography blurs the boundaries between art, erotica, and social history.
Given the historic stigma around making, circulating, and possessing overtly homoerotic images, the visual arts have been especially important for providing a socially sanctioned arena for depicting the naked male body and suggesting homoerotic desire.
Independent films that aggressively assert homosexual identity and queer culture, the New Queer Cinema can be seen as the culmination of several developments in American cinema.
Renowned photographer, teacher, critic, editor, and curator, Minor White created some of the most interesting photographs of male nudes of the second half of the twentieth century, but did not exhibit them for fear of scandal.
The first international fashion superstar, Halston dressed and befriended some of America's most glamorous women.
An artistic movement that grew out of Dadaism and flourished in Europe shortly after World War I, Surrealism embraced the idea that art was an expression of the subconscious.
Film, stage, and television actor Paul Winfield was openly gay in his private life, but maintained public silence about his homosexuality.
Congratulations to professional bowler Scott Norton, who won the 2012 PBA Chameleon Championship in Las Vegas in November. A sign of progress is that when ESPN broadcast the event on December 30, 2012, the network did not censor the kiss the new champion shared with his husband Craig Woodward. The commentators throughout the broadcast explained Woodward's presence at the event by describing him interchageably as Norton's husband or spouse.
As Jim Buzinski at OutSports explains, "In what might be a first, ESPN this weekend showed an openly gay male pro athlete kissing his husband and they did not shy away from describing the relationship."
Norton won the championship by defeating Jason Belmonte. Upon realizing he had won, he broke down and cried in memory of a friend who had died. He was then shown kissing his husband, Craig Woodward, as they exchanged affectionate words. During the telecast, ESPN's announcers referred to Woodward as Norton's husband or spouse.
Norton was the 1999 U.S. Junior National Bowling Champion and won a World Youth Championships gold medal in 2000. He joined the PBA Tour in 2010 and was named Rookie of the Year after winning the Chameleon Championship in 2010-11.
As Norton told Michelle Garcia of The Advocate in 2011, it is important for him to be openly gay on the tour so he can serve as a role model for fellow gay athletes.
"I am very proud and happy with who I am and who I have become as a person," he added, "and I would hope that this will empower other gay athletes--past, present, or future--to come to terms with the truth about who they are and love themselves for who they are."
He wrote on the PBA website in 2011 that his experience on the tour "surpassed nearly everything I could hope for in terms of acceptance."
In addition to being a professional bowler, Norton also works as an attorney. His husband is a health care executive.
The kiss may be seen in the video below.

Hey, it takes a lot to get in the ring; I give the guy full credit. Many guys at that level look nothing like trained fighters but bar room brawlers. They train and train and are prepared but hit the ring and a lot of that gets thrown out the window. And a lot of times the fight itself only looks as good as the fighters fighting it. His opponent was brawling and so he fought the fight he did, throwing some good knees and ended up winning the fight, which I'm sure was his goal. Now what they need to do is put him in the ring with some seasoned fighters who are passed the bar room brawling mentality that can stick to a game plan to see what he is capable of.

It's really a shame that celebrities can't get married the old fashioned way with a normal photographer. Everyone needs to have OK! Or Us Weekly there too, as if that's the norm.
If you're a huge star, I understand inviting them in to prevent them from trying to take pics from the Church rafters and causing a commotion. But when it comes to D-Listers, it looks pathetic.
Ex- Idol Katharine McPhee is getting married in February and wants to ensure one of our many favorite rags will pick up her shots. How much is Katharine asking for? Only $50,000. People, In Touch and Ok! have all politely declined. So it looks like a tabloid won't pay for the wedding after all.

Saying goodbye to charming red brick path
October 16, 2012
When my husband and I decided about six years ago that it was time to buy our own home, I wanted an old house.
I wanted the woodwork, the creaky floors and the general character that come in a home with a history. After looking at only three houses in Hastings, my husband and I found that house.
It had a large wooden staircase to the second story, woodwork throughout the house, creaky floors, a big kitchen and a big yard with an old brick sidewalk.
The previous owners had done a great job of taking care of the old place and had even updated both the kitchen and one of the bathrooms.
So for the past six years, my husband and I have gotten away with making only minor updates to the home.
When our neighbor decided to finally build a home on the empty lot adjacent to ours, he asked if we would like to replace our old brick sidewalk when he put in his sidewalk.
At first I was totally opposed to the idea. I have always loved the brick sidewalk that has probably been there since the home was built in 1910. Those bricks probably came from clay in one of the city's old brickyards.
Those bricks and that sidewalk were part of the history of the home and the property that I loved.
But when I started to think about the part of the sidewalk that had risen from tree roots of a tree now long gone, and about the ice skating rink that forms every winter when the snow melts and the water refreezes, I started to change my mind.
I realized that a new sidewalk would make scooping snow or blowing it off the sidewalk with our snow blower so much easier, and it would create a much safer pass for pedestrians.
I finally agreed to the project, but I refused to let all my bricks go. The stretch of sidewalk between my front door and the main sidewalk will still be brick.
I've argued with both my mom and my inlaws about this one, but those bricks are staying.
On a chilly yet lovely evening last week, my husband and I, along with another neighbor, crawled on our hands and knees as we pulled out each and every one of the bricks that once made up the sidewalk in front of our home.
They're now in a pile where my garden used to be. I'll be saving those bricks for a future landscaping project.
Now that my new concrete sidewalk has been poured and has dried enough that I can walk on it, I have to admit that I'm amazed.
I have never looked at a strip of concrete with the wonder that I do now every time I pull up to my house or look out my front window.
Some of the character of the brick sidewalk is gone, but I took plenty of photos to remember it. I know that I've made a change that my husband and I — and future homeowners years from now — will appreciate.

Something to point out. Look at the torque figures. just about ALL ~40 cubic inch engines produce in the ball park of 40 ft.lbs of torque. whether it be a KLR or a 600 ninja or a ural. All hover in the range of 40 ft.lbs. Horsepower is nothing more than a calculated number. I'll take good bottom end over high horsepower any day of the week and twice on Sunday for a bike with the character of a KLR. How much fun is it to have to rev the engine to 10 grand before any meaningful torque is made?? I realize that this is a bit of an exaggeration but it highlights the point.
My buddy had an old ktm 620 and it was hardly the knight in shining armor that some claim. It certainly wasn't overwhelmingly more powerful than my DR and the thing vibrated like a paint shaker. Sure the suspension was better but the bike was still a lard-ass and too big to be a "real" dirt bike.
The best part of motorcycles is the fact there are more than one kind. And they can fill vastly different niches with more grace and character than any cage. To this end I see no reason for the KLR to make any concessions for what it is or is not. In the end its a cheap, durable bike with unlimited aftermarket and enough ability to get the rider to most places. If its speed or monster horsepower you seek, fortunately, there are other options.

Chapman's a unique case since no one knew if he would be any good as a starter, and he does profile well as a closer. Neither of those things are true about Stephenson.
"Man, the pitch looks fast, even in slow motion." Thom Brennaman on Chapman's fastball.
Heads of state that ride and wrangle. That look at your face from more than one angle. Can cut you from their bloated budgets. Like sharpened knives through Chicken McNuggets.
The quote I was contesting was Stephenson has "clearly outperformed" Bailey at this stage when both are really quite similar. Hopefully Stephenson reaches his peak quicker than Bailey.
Also of note Stephenson is 3 months older than Bailey in their same age season
So far, there are no doubts about Stephenson's ability to be a starter. There are far less doubts about Stephenson than there were about Cingrani, and Cingrani has stayed in the rotation.
The only reason to make that connection is to bash Dusty.

Pitching being so volatile I will take the 22 year old OF that has OPS+ 141 so far over the soon to be AA pitcher. Only one of the above pitchers would you currently not trade for Myers with. Very possible Myers regresses but I would say more likely Stephenson hits bumps in the road along way. Hope not.
Only in reverse. And Myers has proven himself at the big league level.
Right now, given the Reds needs as an organization, I would do this deal. Other players I'd probably trade Stephenson for include Yasiel Puig, Mike Trout, Giancarlo Stanton, Bryce Harper, Andrew McCutchen, Manny Machado, Byron Buxton, Matt Harvey and Shelby Miller. Factoring in affordability to this team, that's probably about it.
Go BLUE!!!

DALLAS - OCTOBER 14: Defenseman Ryan Suter #10 of the Nashville Predators at American Airlines Center on October 14, 2009 in Dallas, Texas. (Photo by Ronald Martinez/Getty Images)
If the reports are accurate and they're coming from reputable sources then Predators free agent defenseman Ryan Suter could receive a contract that would pay him 14 million in each of the next two seasons, a number that would be just 400,000 under the maximum allowed under the NHL's salary cap and which also could make him the highest-paid player in the NHL next season. Let's put that in perspective for a minute. Last season, Preds captain Shea Weber had the highest cap hit of any defenseman in the NHL, as his one-year deal was worth 7.5 million. There were higher-paid defensemen, like Buffalo's Christian Ehrhoff, who earned 10 million, but Ehrhoff's 10-year deal averages 4 million. While Suter ranked third in the NHL last season in average time on ice, 2011-12 was the first time he had ever made the All-Star team. The report of Suter's offers came from TSN's Bob McKenzie, who said that Suter and New Jersey left wing Zach Parise, the top two free agents on the market, each were ...

It seems it is taking a bit longer to finalize the 1.5 build (Cupcake) than previously thought, and it is being pushed back a week. We'll all just have to wait another week, it seems, before we get the cool on-screen keyboard and video recording.

The OKC Thunder lost to the struggling Brooklyn Nets last night 110-93. Thunder star Kevin Durant isn't use to being on the short end of a beating like that. With 1:57 left in the game Durant got loud with referee Danny Crawford, and Crawford wasn't having any of it. He tossed Durant out of the game for the first time in his 5 year career. The underlying problem might be that point guard Russell Westbrook had more shots than Durant....again. Westbrook has been a big question in the media the last couple seasons with the amount of shots he takes. No way this kid should be shooting more than the best scorer in the NBA. Check out the ejection below. Afterwards Durant said "I said it was a bad call. They got a quick trigger now. I just thought it was a bad call. Like I said, you get frustrated throughout a game and show emotion. That's how you can tell you love it." Check out our Home Page for more stories and follow us on Twitter and Facebook

42 year old man | Stanford, CA, USA | Seeking women 28-37 within 50 miles of Palo Alto, CA
Hi there
I come from Chile and arrived here more than one year ago to do some graduate studies. I'm an economist but more dedicated to education and social development. If I have to describe myself I would say that I'm more introverted than extraverted. However, I really enjoy sharing with my friends and my people. I also enjoy my family, specially my nephews and nieces (I have four of each, and they are all amazing). Sometimes, I like to be quieter. Meditating or doing nothing is a good choice some days. Other times, I prefer outdoors. Forests and lakes are my favorite places in that sense. And I know there are wonderful places here to discover. I have visited some, but there are still many in my list. In general, I like to explore things: places, ideas, people. Currently, for instance, I am re-discovering something very simple: cooking. Don't imagine anything too complicated but I'm enjoying it very much. And what I'm looking for? I am looking for a partner. Somebody to share and laugh with. Someone to explore new and old, simple and complex, serious and silly things. We need them all. Life is even better when you share it with someone else.
Camping , Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Hobbies and crafts , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Nightclubs/Dancing , Playing sports , Political interests , Religion/Spiritual , Travel/Sightseeing , Volunteering , Wine tasting
Billiards / Pool, Cycling, Dancing, Martial arts, Other types of exercise, Walking / Hiking
I exercise 1-2 times per week.
Don't display my sign
I like Cats, Dogs, Horses, Other
One of my favorite places is Machu Picchu, in Peru. I also love the south of my country :). Barcelona and Kyoto are amazing. Easter Island is one of my pending.
I like to share with my friends: eating, going out, enjoying good conversations. I also like going to the movies; traveling without much planning; horseback riding, biking; meditation.

that the decision includes all relevant factors, not just the cost-effectiveness ratio. The quality-adjusted life-year (QALY) is the most often used metric of effectiveness, which includes both survival and quality of life on the same measurement plane. This can have the effect of emphasizing life-years added, when some treatments may be more focused on reducing side effects, improving quality of life, or increasing productivity, as examples. Recently, recommendations of the National Institute for Health and Clinical Evidence (NICE), which some cite as a model for comparative effectiveness in the United States, to prevent access to medical technologies that are standards of care outside the United Kingdom—have been criticized by patient groups as denying access to treatments for which there are limited or no alternatives and failing to consider the full impact of treatments on patients, caregivers, and society in general.
Cost-effectiveness is not well suited to assessing the efficiency of products or markets with dynamic competition involving rapidly changing prices and technological obsolescence: At best, it is a static assessment of average costs for many technologies subject to rapid change. If cost-effectiveness is used to limit access to some products, it may actually keep costs higher for covered products. For medical devices, the rapid iteration of technology, and the potential for increased effectiveness when measured over a longer term, make cost-effectiveness assessments difficult to do.
Having cost-effectiveness analysis done at a national level will reduce incentives for innovation: If the result of comparative effectiveness analysis is to limit benefits to "the most effective, lowest-cost option," this may become "the effective-enough, lowest-cost option." This is likely to shift industry investment to less risky, incremental innovation, rather than encourage companies to take the considerable financial risk of producing breakthrough treatments. In the United States, we have the potential to develop a comparative effectiveness capability that increases incentives for breakthrough innovation and is better targeted to individuals, while making it less attractive to develop incremental innovation. Cost-effectiveness assessments provided at a national level may signal the opposite.

The Pittsburgh Pirates continued to search for ways to bolster their roster, with an emphasis on offense, but the big move had yet to drop. They've expressed interest in at least two outfielders, the Diamondbacks' Justin Upton and the Padres' Carlos Quentin, with Upton apparently the preferred choice. The team also is hoping to add a pitcher, preferably one for starting depth. Unlike the bat, this wouldn't have to be an impact player. "There's no question we're looking," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said. The Pirates would prefer not to give up any of their top three prospects -- RHP Gerrit Cole, RHP Jameson Taillon, OF Starling Marte -- with Cole being considered extremely unlikely to move. Bob Nutting, the Pirates' owner, told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review over the weekend that he'd be opposed to any such trade if only a rental comes back. "One thing we'll never do, that I'll never allow, is giving up our best young players for a short-term gain or a rental. We'd be cr...

Hi - Looks like quite an adventure. Sort of confusing, but an adventure none-the-less. What is this trip about? Are you just checking out? Also, what is the Ted Simon Foundation about? I poked around the website, but it seems sort of vague.
I read two books by Ted, the original and his 2001 trip. I exchanged some emails with him. Is he still going strong?
He inspired me to try some motorcycle traveling. Since 2005 I've spend about 60,000 miles riding all over the continent. I learned a few things from his tales. Probably the two biggest lessons were a) Only ride a bike you can pick up in the mud by yourself, and b) soft luggage doesn't break legs.
I originally planned to ride to Terra Del Fuego over a couple seasons by riding, storing and flying. But for me world travel is such a project, I'd never go anywhere. So I visit places I can get to easily.
If he has a contact point, I'd like to sent him a note.
Good luck on your travels. Hope your writing career bears fruit. Sorry about Minneapolis, but better to know now.

Ted and such
Ted is definitely still going strong. Here we are at the Overland Expo this past May in Flagstaff, AZ, where we had the U.S. kickoff for the Ted Simon Foundation. One of the sharpest cats I've ever met and brimming with wisdom as you might expect.
If by "check out" you mean checking out of Cubicleland for about 20 months or so, well sure, I'm checking out. But thank you Cubicleland for providing me with the means to take this trip! (And it really hasn't been that bad working as a copywriter and brand strategist in Boston...I'm blessed for sure) Though I think of it more as a check-in to a whole new life that I really have no idea how it will turn out, which totally suits me. I'm unmarried and unattached. I gave up my house in Boston to take this trip, so I'm really up and open for anything that may come out of this. I could maybe see settling in Colombia after all this is over given that the women there are the most beautiful/friendly/sexy in the world. (I rented a bike there for a week last spring and had the most amazing experience you can imagine...check out my blog from that trip at www.adambarone.com/blog). I'll probably spend at least a month-plus there hanging with some friends I made and making new ones this time around. But that's merely a long-term possibility...one among dozens.
The mission of the Ted Simon Foundation is fairly straightforward, but quite lofty--to bring about greater world understanding through the works of people of good will...like me, other Foundation folk, and all you ADV riders...moving through foreign cultures and transforming those experiences into something of value to share with the world...whether it be writings, photography, film, or anything really. Within that framework, all the Jupiter's Travellers have sort of thesis they're working with. Mine is to find examples of innovation in third-world economies--people doing interesting things socially, technologically, agriculturally that benefit the community. Everyone on this forum can play a role in the mission, too, if they like. It's not ours exclusively. Throughout history, explorers have been vital to the development of our species and societies, and while there may not be many lands left unexplored on this pretty blue ball we call Earth, there is still the act of exploration and the changes that occur in a person and the perspective they gain and share with others because of it.
In Cubicleland (a loose term I use to encompass all those who have settled down into an employment/family life-driven safe, predictable, insular life), that perspective doesn't exist mostly because we cocoon ourselves into those lives, and thus, very little from outside the cocoon affects us, and in turn, we generally have very little affect outside the cocoon. There's nothing inherently wrong with that, but in America and other "first-world" societies, what we have in material wealth and comfort and such seems to be cancelled out by what we lack in a true sense of community. For some reason in less developed areas of the world, that sense of community is much stronger. It's actually pretty ironic how disconnected we are from each other in an age when we are more "connected" than ever.
Anyway, that's a bit of a ramble. Ted can be reached through the foundation, I believe. He's also on Facebook and LinkedIn. I don't have his email, but I'm connected to him in both those places.
And as far as my writing career bearing fruit...I started as a sportswriter when I was 15 years old covering HS basketball games for the local paper. I went on to college at Anderson University in Indiana, where I majored in journalism and philosophy. Continued sportswriting for newspapers during that time. Graduated. Took jobs at newspapers in Ohio and New Hampshire. Transitioned into working as a copywriter and brand strategist...a move that was absolutely financially motivated. Been doing that the last 10 years or so...a well-paid gig that, as I said, gave me the means to do this trip.
I'm 33 now. I've been at it for 18 years, and the fruit tastes amazing!

That was a good post Adam. I enjoyed your rambling.
I must admit, I victimized myself in your Cubicland. I was a helicopter pilot in the Army and Vietnam was the only place I've ever really lived in another society. Since then it has been the corportate straight and narrow. Heck, I was with the same darn firm for 27 years!
Well, I went to London on a company junket once, so that's a little something... I came to Boston in 1990 from the Bay Area. Culturally, that was a shocker for me. Today I feel almost worldly...
Glad you could use your artistic talents to make a career. Most of us can't. We have to pursue paths that are less intellectually rewarding but more financially expeditious. Then we have to convince ourselves that we like it...That's where motorcycle travel comes it.
I'll follow along your journey. Stay well.

Boston (and I SHOULD mention Cambridge if we're being fair) is absolutely a rich city to live in. If you're going to get worldly living anywhere in our country, it's there. So multicultural and so many intense, smart people doing what that they're passionate about in very innovative endeavors. That aspect of Boston is part of the inspiration for this trip. I had the opportunity to work with some of those folks, and I value those interactions and exchanges. If you're engaged in something going on in Boston, whether it's doing what I did in the advertising/brand strategy field or education or the medical field or any one of the startups and some vibrant large companies, pushing the envelope is the norm.
I hope to find people doing that sort of thing but with far fewer resources--maybe just some raw materials and a vision. Whatever that is.
I'll add something about Ted Simon. The guy is one tough hombre in addition to being wise and sharp. To do what he did at 70 (his second time around the world) is nothing short of amazing. Especially having now taken a nasty spill in some gravel today and f*cking up my ankle nice, stiff, and softball-like. I can put weight on it and jump--in pain--so it's just a sprain, but I'm being a huge baby about it. Got myself a nice hotel room on the beach in Mazatlan. Got AC. Like I said, BABY. It's gonna be so stiff in the morning (that's what she said!)

An update...live from Guatemala City!
GUATEMALA, Guatemala The landscape change in Guatemala was dramatic. From low-lying inland tropics, much of which has been cleared for farmland in the Mexican state of Chiapas, to a gentle ascension into puffy white clouds at 5000 feet on my first Guatemalan morning. After lunch, I rose another 3500 feet on wicked steep twisties, which, other than their geometry, were as nice as they were scary. Making a gentle descent back to around 5000 feet, I found Antigua, Guatemalawhere Ive been for the last week and change. Did I mention Volcanoes? One of which just erupted for the first time in over a hundred years right in my path.
The Guatemala border was a long time coming. In the weeks leading to my successful crossing, I felt like a sharp knife repeatedly plunging into a freshly shot whitetail deer, but refused puncture.
My route in Mexico started in Ensenada, just south of San Diego. Baja was all desert and miserably hot at times, but also the start of exactly what I signed on for on this tripnew experiences.
Breaking down in the desert, of course, had to happen. If not, then I truly dont experience Baja. Taking a hard spill on the Baja 500 course DURING THE RACE and getting trapped under the bike as gigantic 700-plus horsepower trophy trucks threatened to squash me was probably my first full-scale adrenaline rush since leaving Boston on April 20.
After a week and a half of beach camping on the playas near Mulege, Baja California Sur and a week of couchsurfing in the oven that is La Paz, BCS, I boarded the trans-Sea of Cortes (or Gulf of California as we call it in the USA) ferry for Topolobampo, where I paid my first bribe to a cop (at least I negotiated)! Wrong way down a one way. Classic-Barone-traffic misbehavior.
On the mainland of Mexico, it went:
- Mazatlan, Sinaloa: Enjoyed sunsets and well-formulated painkillers as I nursed my badly sprained ankle back to health; attempting burn outs on a gravely Mexican gas station parking is not among those recommended new experiences.
- Guadalajara, Jalisco: Hung out with some crazy Australian backpackers and banged an outrageously hot stripper named Fernandana.
- Mexico City, DF: Went couchsurfing again with my new buddy Marc, who gave me the run of his Coyoacan (think Mexico Citys version of Brooklyn) apartment for a week as he flew back to the states for a trumpet gig. It was here that I met a girl named Paolina Margaret Parra, who continues to rock my world from over 1,000 miles away and counting.
- Puerto Escondido via Oaxaca: Once again, I baked in the sun in this Mexican tourist-centric beachside retreat. One morning, I enjoyed a pleasant stroll on the beach, whose topography was brilliantly reshaped by a Tropical storm the night before.
- Tapachula, Chiapas: A series of unfortunate events begins for the Rumble Bee. While attempting to navigate my way through the correct order of immigration administrivia to check out of Mexico, I managed to pick up a passengera gigantic three-inch nail in my back tire! Once fixed, Rumble Bees coolant thermostat seized, causing Bee to vomit like an antifreeze-guzzling frat boy all over a parking attendants shoes. Coolant thermostat removed, I set off again still overheating. Tom at MAX BMW Motorcycles in New Hampshire, whod been coaching me through the issue, informs me I best seek out professional help. The nearest BMW Moto shop was back in Oaxaca 12 mountainous hours away, which I surely would not make in this condition, in this lifetime, riding the Bee as circumstances would require: a couple miles overheat wait 20 minutes to cool down ride another couple miles overheat, wait, and so on. Not to mention the obvious strain all the constant overheating would put on the engine. That ride would surely have been the funeral procession for Rumble Bee. I chose the alternative
- A $1,000 truck ride back to Oaxaca: Two Mexican drivers, me, and the Bee in the bed of a brand new made-in-Kentucky F-350 flat bed for 12 hours. A professional set-up usually in the business of moving furniture. More-or-less, the limousine of emergency motorcycle transport. Very safe. It was either that or stand on the side of the road with a sign offering pesos for a 12-hour lift. Not so safe.
- Oaxaca Ciudad de Amore Mexicana: OK, its not Venice. Or Paris. Its more like a Tootsie Pop, nice in the middle but forgettable on the outside. But Pao showed up, and for that, I now thank the Bee for getting sick. Im gonna keep my waxy poeticisms de Pao to myself until the book comes out, but rest assured la chica es poesia.
- Bus back to Mexico City to pick up a new radiator fan: Upon further inspection, the radiator fan was missing a blade and seized, so it was me and Pao on the most pleasant eight-hour bus ride of my life back to Mexico City, where I visited the largest BMW Moto dealer in the country to pick up the part I needed. I stayed with her, her mother, and niece Ali in their Tlalpan (a borough of Mexico City) apartment. I coached Ali up on salary negotiation for her first job as an architect, had some of the best huevos of my life thanks to her mothers skills de desayuno, and of course spent more time with Pao.
Pao is the one on the left. On the right is the bard-poet-minstrel extraordinaire of Oaxaca, Oaxaca, Rey Oh Beybe AKA Cafe Caliente (Hot Coffee). I picked up his two CDs and his Johnny Cash-like ways have been reverberating around my head for the last month.
Check out Rey Oh Beybes anthem, Cafe Caliente
Pao and I at El Árbol del Tule near Oaxaca.
I Thought I said goodbye to Pao, only to break down again: Solo, I boarded a bus back to Oaxaca, where I successfully installed the new radiator fan. Then, I got hit by a dump truck on my way to get a new rear tire before heading out of town. Thankfully, I only needed a new front rim, but that meant another week in Oaxaca, attempting to locate one. Enter my new buddy Lance from the ADVrider online forum, fearless leader of the ADV Cartel. Located near Mexico City, he had F650GS with a good new front rim and tireexactly what I neededand I had a bad-ass chica in Mexico City about to board a bus back to Oaxaca again to see me. Again, exactly what I needed. Paothe tiny thingmet up with Lance, got the tire, and lugged it onto the bus with her. We had an all-too-short four-day weekend together with lots of great food, drink, and space-time continuum shattering. Long live love and The ADV Cartel!
- Time to leave Oaxaca and Pao for real: I left Oaxaca, headed for Guatemala. I made a wrong turn, which put a few extra days on my route to the border crossing. No sweat. Wrong turns are like unexpected side dishes that come with a meal just because the manager appreciates your business, sir. I ended up in the oil-exporting/importing town of Coatzacoalas on the Carribbean coast of Mexico. From there, I bounced over to Catemaco, where I took a boat ride to check out some monkeys living Lord of the Flies-style on their own little islands in Lago Catemaco. From there, I made my way to Palenque, where I saw an extremely bad-ass set of Mayan ruins. A huge Mayan City of which only 10% wasnt still shrouded in jungle. I took a photo that apparently included a UFO or something. Here it is
Taken while standing in the palace of Palenque, an extraordinary set of Mayan ruins near the Mexican city of the same. I dont know what that is in the sky, but it was there in two consecutive photographs I took, maintaining its spatial relationship to the ruins, so it wasnt dust on the lens. Thats all I can tell you
- Three days of Ruta Maya: From Palenque, it was a three-day ride down a highway that ran along the Guatemalan border, but due to insufficiently-staffed border crossings along the way, which did not include a Banjercito, where I could get the $300 deposit returned on my temporary vehicle import permit, I rode nearly all the way back to Tapachula. I crossed into Guatemala in La Mesilla, Mexico. My last night in Mexico was pretty sweet, too. I found a camping spot on this blue water lake in the Lagunas de Montebello National Park.
In Antigua, Guatemala I have found my first subject of innovation in an third-world/emerging
Ecofiltro is working very hard to solve the drinking water crisis in third-world communities of the world.
economy. The company is Ecofiltro, an expat-led firm that manufactures and markets ultra-cheap water filters for use in the poor, rural villages that abound in Guatemala. They turn ordinary river, lake, or rainwater into a clean and great-tasting vaso de agua for less than 1/10 the cost of bottled water and zero of the health concerns of drinking untreated water. Its a compelling story and a great example of how capitalism, which has gotten a bad rap of late in some circles, can truly add value to a culture and an economy when its the right kind of capitalism. Capitalism based on innovation and developing innovation into a business model, i.e. human creation. Im very excited to have found my first story. Now, I just need to query the right publications to get it out there in the world. They just opened a new factory back in March and are at the beginning of an eight-year plan to plant 99 more factories in 99 more third-world/emerging countries around the world by 2020. Indeed, its an exciting time to be Ecofiltro CEO Philip Wilson.
And of course, its also an exciting time to be Adam Barone.

War over the price of a head gasket in El Salvador
I'm at war in El Salvador. But I'm thankful that my mechanic is on my side. The boss man of the BMW moto shop in San Salvador is the enemy. He's been on the job for three months, and he's neither a bike or a car guy. His previous job was selling shoes. No one in the shop knows he got the job; obviously he knows somebody important. Anyway, I was helping Rafael, my mechanic, troubleshoot the problem with my bike...pressure testing the engine...and we've narrowed it down that my head gasket is going bad...just too many miles with the temp light on (unavoidable miles, I would stop when I could do so safely, but there have definitely been miles put on the bike with it on and the damage was done). Anyway, the head gasket is a $30 part, and but the boss man was going to charge me $150. Yes, that would be a 500% mark-up, which is quite insane but normal for this guy, who I hear has been charging customers upwards of $250 for an oil change. In the states, I can get an oil change done on my K1200LT by a dealer for $100, and that's expensive. The gasket is a flat piece of rubber that will fit in an envelope. And when I put up a stink about it, he came back with a better price... $115. Still too high. A bus ticket from Guatemala City to San Salvador costs $25, the shipping method in play here, would put the cost of my part to about $55...and that's the price for a person, not a piece of luggage. Still quite a bit less than $115. Then we got to talking about labor charges after I told him that I won't pay the $115 for a head gasket. After telling him I was quite familiar with labor charges. This resulted in price of $245 in labor, which is actually fair...still about 3x what a non-bmw moto mechanic would charge here, but comparable to what I would pay in the States for 3-4 hours of labor. Moral of the story: white skin, stranded biker = gouging opportunity...because everybody knows that every 34-year-old white American male is a millionaire.

Would anyone trade Hannigan for something of value? His value may never be higher, particularly if someone's catcher goes down. Have heard that several teams have inquired. Just throwing it out there. Not sure if I would. Depends on the return.
Talent is God Given: be humble.
Fame is man given: be thankful.
Conceit is self given: be careful.
John Wooden
My thoughts too.
By the time Trout reaches FA elibibility, if he's still an MVP calibar player, he's might cost a lot more than Votto, and might not even want to stay around.
Would I do it in a computer game? Maybe. But real life is kind of different.
What kind of message does it send to guys like Bruce when an established star like Votto wants to be a Red for life, and then the Reds trade him off after he commits to the team.
Heck, Arroyo is probably still bitter the Red Sox traded him after he gave them a hometown discount. Not saying that Votto is a hometown discount (I guess that's up for debate), but bottom line is, he's an MVP that was loyal.
Thank you Walt and Bob for bringing winning baseball back to Cincy

Easily, yes.
Votto may be the best hitter in all of baseball but Trout's contract status and overall skillset make him a far more valuable baseball player.
The team really doesn't have any holes this year. Trading Hannigan isn't likely to upgrade anyone (other than perhaps a reliever). Doesn't really make sense to trade Hannigan for prospects at this point either (realistic prospects).
Even if Mez is playing outstanding at the allstar break, it's a tremendous advantage to have 2 capable catchers on the team and keep them fresh for the postseason.
Thank you Walt and Bob for bringing winning baseball back to Cincy
Nov. 13, 2007: One of the greatest days in Reds history: John Allen gets the boot!
Nope. Too much risk in Trout.
In terms of resigning Trout, given that he is cheap the next few years, if you took the money owed Votto (200MM+) Trout just may accept that amount today to sign thru 2023.
That said I haven't seen Trout enough yet to make an informed decision. So due to ignorance I pass on the deal.

Oh, Billy Hamilton!
I would make that trade much more easily than I would Votto for Trout straight up. While Votto is now the better first baseman than Pujols, even in his decline part of his career Albert is probably 90% of Joey, so I haven't lost that much at first base. Meanwhile, the comparison between the two centerfielders isn't close IMO. We don't know if Hamilton can hit MLB pitching. I would be thrilled if Hamilton turns into a .300 hitter and steals 80+ bases a season, but if he does that, he still will not be as valuable as Trout was in 2012 (no way does Hamilton project to ever hit close to 30 HRs a season). Trout is younger than Hamilton as well.

That's an easy "YES" - less money, 5 years instead of 10 years, and a younger player who will be in their prime for the entire 5 years!

A top UN official has triggered a row by claiming rich countries should be allowed to buy their way out of cutting carbon emissions.
Yvo de Boer, head of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) said developing countries could be paid to make the cuts.
But environmental groups condemned the remarks and said the consequences of climate change could only be solved by all countries - both rich and poor - cutting CO2 emissions.
Under the Kyoto Agreement industrialised nations are required to make the majority of the cuts themselves.
But Mr de Boer said the climate change challenge was so great that countries should be allowed to pay poorer countries to make the cuts for them.
"We have been reducing emissions and making energy use more efficient in industrialised countries for a long time," he told BBC News.
"So it is quite expensive in these nations to reduce emissions any more," he told the BBC.
"But in developing nations, less has been done to reduce emissions and less has been done to address energy efficiency," Mr de Boer observed.
"So it actually becomes economically quite attractive for a company, for example in the UK, that has a target to achieve this goal by reducing emissions in China."
He said if necessary rich countries should be able to pay to offset all their responsibilities.
But conservation groups said the offsetting plan went against the spirit of the 'polluter pays' policy adopted by the UN.
Friends of the Earth climate campaigner, Robin Webster said: "This proposal doesn't make environmental, economic or political sense.
"Emissions need to go down in industrialised countries if we are going to get to grips with climate change. We simply don't have the option of buying our way out of trouble. Rich and poor nations need to work together - the longer we leave it to take action the more damaging it will be to our economy and the environment.
"By introducing a strong climate change law that commits the UK to reducing its emissions by at least 3 per cent a year the Government can ensure the UK plays its part in tackling climate change."
Doug Parr of Greenpeace said: "The current trading system is not delivering emissions reductions as it is," he said. "Expanding it like this to give rich countries a completely free hand will simply not work."

According to Tunny, a few years ago, a number of drivers approached him asking if they could use Peter Drive as a through street.
"I honestly could not find anything that prohibited me from letting them do it," said Tunny, who contacted Village of Colonie Mayor Frank Leak and asked if the drivers could use Peter Drive.
"Frank Leak said he couldn't think of anything that prevented us from using it," said Tunny.
While the safety and speeding were Burnside's main concerns, he said he was also uneasy about the number of buses that were using the street. Over the course of a few days, he said he counted 15 buses using the street each morning and evening.
Several other Peter Drive residents spoke out at the Jan. 13 meeting, describing concerns similar to Burnside's.
One resident told of an accident she was involved in where, on a different S-curve, a bus was unable to stay in its lane and she felt the only thing to do was swerve out of the way, hitting another vehicle.
District officials met on Peter Drive Wednesday, Jan. 21, to see first-hand what the residents of Peter Drive were dealing with.
Tunny said he had only counted seven buses that used the street, and with 82 buses leaving the bus garage on a daily basis, "that means the majority are not using Peter Drive."
Superintendent of Schools Jonathan Buhner observed the buses on Peter Drive that morning as well.
"I think, from my observation, they were doing fine," he said. "I think they were concerned about the degree of the curve. I don't know what the village can do [though]. It's not like they can straighten the road."
Buhner said he did not see the buses speeding that day, but that, "We certainly can look at our buses and keeping their speed at a minimum and trying to be aware of all safety concerns that [the residents] have raised."
Before Burnside raised his concerns at the Jan. 13 meeting, Tunny described plans to re-evaluate the district's routing system in the most cost-efficient way. This could mean routing the buses away from Peter Drive.
Tunny said the board will continue to look into the concerns of the Peter Drive residents.

During the decades that followed, the Ottomans became progressively more engaged in the affairs of this vast and previously unfamiliar region, eventually to the point of launching a systematic ideological, military and commercial challenge to the Portuguese Empire, their main rival for control of the lucrative trade routes of maritime Asia. The Ottoman Age of Exploration is the first comprehensive historical account of this century-long struggle for global dominance, a struggle that raged from the shores of the Mediterranean to the Straits of Malacca, and from the interior of Africa to the steppes of Central Asia. Based on extensive research in the archives of Turkey and Portugal, as well as materials written on three continents and in a half dozen languages, it presents an unprecedented picture of the global reach of the Ottoman state during the sixteenth century. It does so through a dramatic recounting of the lives of sultans and viziers, spies, corsairs, soldiers-of-fortune, and women from the imperial harem. Challenging traditional narratives of Western dominance, it argues that the Ottomans were not only active participants in the Age of Exploration, but ultimately bested the Portuguese in the game of global politics by using sea power, dynastic prestige, and commercial savoir faire to create their own imperial dominion throughout the Indian Ocean. less

The New York Times has compared the story to the obvious Heart of Darkness, but has said the following as well: "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is a better bet (on the plot). Most of the people Liberty meets (and not just in the South) are what the Cheshire Cat would call 'mad,' from a shaggy hermit to the Georgia farmer who secedes from the Confederacy by reclaiming his little plot of land in the name of the Union."
The story concerns Liberty Fish, the son of two passionate abolitionists but whose grandparents were cruel slave-owners. The plot follows Liberty from his birth to young adulthood, his enlistment in the Union army, and his quest to find his grandparents whom he blames for the despair his mother feels. The tone has hints of dark humor, and at times can be heavily surreal.
