Adam Oates knew it could be a problem. The Washington Capitals were playing their only home game sandwiched between seven on the road, against a New York Islanders team that can be easy to overlook.
So when the Caps fell behind two goals in the first eight minutes, it was not much of a surprise. But when they erased the deficit in the second, the flat start became nothing but a memory.
"When we had the momentum, I thought that there was no way we were going to lose the game," defenseman John Carlson said.
They did. Even after overcoming some expected obstacles, one third-period mistake led to a 3-2 loss to the Islanders on Tuesday night at Verizon Center. The Caps fell to seven points back of the Southeast Division-leading Winnipeg Jets and four points back of the New York Rangers for the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.
"It stings. Every game at this point stings," defenseman Steve Oleksy said. "You're playing playoff hockey, and that's a big two points for us. That's a team that's close to us and that's a game we need to try to pull away from some of these teams."
Instead, the Caps are 11th in the East, leap-frogged by the Islanders. They failed to keep pace with the Jets and Rangers, who won Tuesday night, and they had Brooks Laich and Mike Green to blame.
With just over five minutes left in the third period and the score tied, Laich was nearing the end of a shift and sent the puck behind the net to Green, who turned it over when pressed by Islanders forward Matt Moulson. Seconds later, the puck was on John Tavares' stick and then in the net.
"Not a good interchange between Brooksie and Greenie," Oates said. "A play that I'm sure those two guys would like back."
Green was not made available to reporters who requested him after the loss. Laich took responsibility.
"I didn't want to turn one over in the middle in front of our net, so I sent it behind the net," Laich said. "Bad angle, bad decision by myself. I put Mike in trouble, and it resulted in the winning goal."
It was a play that could go right 95 times out of 100. When it went wrong Tuesday night after Green fumbled the puck in his skates trying to make a move instead of rimming it around, it proved costly.
"Everybody gonna do mistakes. It's hockey," captain Alex Ovechkin said. "Somebody make mistakes, somebody have to cover. It was a bad turnover, but everybody can be in that kind of position."
Ovechkin and other teammates didn't want to throw Laich and Green under the bus. They know next time it could be them.
But against the Islanders, Green and Laich couldn't get the job done to help the Caps salvage even one point.
"Most of the goals will be details that cost you goals," center Mike Ribeiro said. "We come back, misplayed puck and then next thing you know it's behind the net. You cannot judge the game on that play. I think it's a 60-minute game and there's other plays in the game that we could've done better."

Charles McBurney (archaeologist)
Charles Brian Montagu McBurney (18 June 1914 – 14 December 1979) was an American archaeologist who spent most of his working life in England.
Life and career[edit]
McBurney was born in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, the son of Dorothy Lillian (Rundall) and Henry McBurney, and the grandson of Charles McBurney, the American surgeon (known to subsequent generations of surgeons for defining McBurney's point). His mother was English, the daughter and granddaughter of British Army officers. He spent his childhood in the USA and then in Switzerland.
In 1933, he entered King's College, Cambridge, reading French and German, and then Archaeology and Anthropology. Graduate studies were interrupted by war service in the RAF. He completed his PhD (a study of European flint assemblages) in the years immediately following World War 2.
In 1952, he became a lecturer in archaeology at Cambridge, and later Reader and finally Professor of Quaternary Prehistory. His work included studies of the Upper Palaeolothic in Britain, important excavations in the Channel Islands, extensive excavations in Libya (the Haua Fteah cave) and, in later years, excavations in Iran and Afghanistan. He also published on French prehistory, archaeological work in the Soviet Union, and on cave art. His continuing influence is felt in the work of his many distinguished pupils.
He was the father of the composer and writer Gerard McBurney and the actor and director Simon McBurney.

OD-1RX WindMaster
The SOTO WindMaster is a very lightweight stove top that screws onto gas canisters having the industry standard threaded coupling. In my tests, it performed very well in a range of windy conditions, on cool mornings, and with an intentionally chilled half-full fuel canister. It also works well for simmering and "gourmet-style" meals. I recommend it for use by backpackers and others aiming for light weights for solo and 2-person outings. It is not suitable for large groups (4 or more). Warranty:… Full review
OD-1RX WindMaster
This stove keeps a constant pressure until the canister is empty, as stated in their advertisement. It is very wind proof too. This stove is good for the backpacker who likes the convenience of a canister stove but also wants to use it in cold weather. Most canister stoves do not perform well in weather below about 27 degrees, but this one will work down to 20 degrees with enough power to boil water or simmer, and the pressure is regulated even in cold conditions. I had given up using a canister… Full review

Really great idea. But it doesn't really work consistently. This is a really great idea, and I really wanted it to work.

But six times out of ten I end up getting frustrated and taking the lighter out of the unit just to get a flame.

My workout regimen consists of weight room stuff every morning, running, throwing, jumping, technical sessions:
that's five days a week and then on the sixth day all I do is run in the mornings and I have the seventh day to rest.
To mentally prepare for an event it's not really a ritual as more of a routine.
There are certain things that I've done since I started doing decathlons that we haven't changed.
I kind of run myself through any and every scenario so that when the time comes and I'm actually in the moment,
I've already rehearsed what's happening and what's about to happen.
I eat a lot of pistachios; I probably won't stray to far from those. I really like red and green peppers; I can put those on anything.

Trustworthy reviews are our priority. Businesses can't pay to change or remove reviews.
We can't thank Heather, Annie and Maggie enough for making Allison and Andy's special day so special. Each and every day, we are reliving that wonderful weekend and "PERFECT" is the word that comes to mind, and is spoken by us, when anyone asks how was the wedding. As I told one of my co-workers, if I had more daughters, Bishop Farm is where each of their weddings would be held!!! No other venue could have been better!!! The care and attention you gave to Allison and Andy will always keep you in a special place in our hearts!!! The three of you are incredible and we just want to let you know we appreciated all of your efforts!!!
Until we can sit and chat again. All our best,
Rich and Deb
We simply cannot say enough about Bishop Farm. The Salter family, who own and operate the farm are incredible, delightful, kind, welcoming, energetic and truly phenomenal at what they do. The grounds are simply gorgeous. The 1876 reception barn is stunning in it's simplicity. Inside the barn the chandeliers and voile curtains billowing in the doorway are what wedding dreams are made of. There is a wooded switchback stairway across the lawn that looks as though you're being transported to a woodland oasis. When you reach the top, the trees open up to a sunny meadow, perfect for an outdoor ceremony . Though the days leading up to our wedding forcasted thunderstorms for our big day. To be on the safe side, we chose to have the ceremony in the newly finished Ceremony barn across the lawn from the reception barn. It sounds like Plan B, but I assure you it wasn't. When we walked into the ceremony barn, the air changed and the lighting was pure magic. The family's newly procured antique church pews and giant stained glass windows gave it an ethereal quality, while the crooked barn slats made the sunlight dance across the floor. It was like something out of a movie. Aside from the unmatched rustic beauty of Bishop Farm, the Salters are the cherry on top.
From the moment we got to the farm they made us feel like part of the family, helping us with everything from set-up, to directions to town, to making us a spectacular breakfast each morning of our stay. Eager to assist, and not just with the wedding tasks (Annie even fixed my new sister-in-law's sun glasses). It never felt forced, or out of obligation, simply genuine kindness and unmatched hospitality. If you're looking for the perfect New England wedding venue, check them out first. You will not be disappointed.
Choosing Bishop Farm to be our wedding venue was the best wedding planning decision I made! I cannot say enough positive things about my experience.
Not only was the venue absolutely gorgeous and perfect for a wedding — massive chandeliers, rustic barn, immaculate grounds, picture perfect cottages for our wedding party, and cozy rooms in the Inn for our immediate family — but Bishop Farm also has a rockstar team that makes sure your big day run smoothly. I loved working with Heather, Annie, and their mom Maggie. With the Bishop Farm team, I was able to completely relax and enjoy the whole event because I knew I was in good hands. (And that's coming from someone who is an admitted control freak about most things.)
Heather was incredibly helpful over the 9 months I spent planning my big day. She was always responsive and happy to help answer questions. She makes sure you've thought of every last detail before the big day, and the occasional conference calls to check in really helps you stay on track in the planning process.
Everything was so perfect about our wedding — my husband James and could not have been more pleased. From delicious breakfasts in the Inn on Saturday and Sunday morning (homemade by Maggie!), to walking into the barn for the first time after getting married, to the after hours bonfire with our family and friends...the entire experience at Bishop Farm was epic. Highly recommend!
Now I just need to convince a friend or family member to get married there so I can go back!!
We cannot recommend this place enough! The amazing family at Bishop Farm know how to coordinate, organize and run a wedding weekend! Turns out, that makes all the difference. Things went so smoothly, we had such a great time. They are so warm, friendly and fun! Beyond that, the property is gorgeous! The barn, the field, the B&B..everything is just fantastic. We would not get married again anywhere else :)
We love Heather, Annie and Maggie and Bishop Farm! They are the best!
A uniquely rustic/elegant venue. The owners are kind, attentive, knowledgable and wonderful to work with. They are organized and very thorough. Take their job very seriously yet promote a relaxed, happy, comfortable event. If I could give them 20 stars in each category I would without reservation.
My October wedding at Bishop Farm was everything that I could have hoped for and more! From our first tour to the last look goodbye every detail was perfectly executed by Heather. When you are at Bishop Farm, you truly feel that you are visiting family who wants nothing more than to give you the perfect wedding day. Having all of my guests staying together on the farm was a great touch that I didn't even consider in planning, but which worked out so well. The barn is gorgeous, as is the entire property. Looking back there is absolutely nothing that I would have changed...it was amazing! We did not have our ceremony on property, we got married at a local church, but with the professionalism and attention to detail that was shown in every part of our wedding weekend I can only imagine that it would have been amazing. (PS. Ask Maggie for the eggs benedict-like breakfast you will NOT be sorry :))
There are no words that can truly capture how amazing Heather & Annie and all of the people at Bishop Farm are. The second I stepped foot onto this venue I fell in love and knew I wouldn't have been happy getting married anywhere else.
Their conference calls really helped us plan our wedding, they had so much knowledge, they were always willing to give their opinions or let us know about how people have done things with them in the past, and what the pros and cons were.
The actual weekend itself was gorgeous. Maggie cooks a fabulous breakfast each day, and the beds are super comfortable. We had such FUN the entire weekend, and Bishop Farm was a large part of that. Heather has some great stories to tell, so make sure you get her to tell them!
The day of the ceremony, it didn't look good weather-wise for my outdoor ceremony (I had my heart set on getting married in front of the Milk House). Eventually we had to make the heart-wrenching call to have the ceremony inside the barn (and they set it up beautifully), but then, just as I am about to get ready to walk down the aisle, Heather and Annie come in and tell me that the rain has stopped, and they could have the ceremony set up outside in 15 minutes. I nearly cried from joy. They had it set up in 8 minutes. It was truly amazing.
The next morning when I went to pack, they already had all my decor broken down and organized. THAT was a real treat, because after a very long (but fun) weekend, it made my life so much easier. Its the little touches like this that make this venue amazing.
One of the best things I think about this venue (other than the people) is the wedding pantry. Brides past will leave decor/supplies they don't want, and future brides can use it in their wedding. It was a great way to not only get inspiration for my wedding, but fill in the finishing touches on that day.
You can't go wrong at Bishop Farm and honestly, if you choose any other venue I think you're making a mistake.
The experience my husband and I had with Bishop Farm was absolutely fantastic. We booked our wedding with them back in April of 2013 and, from day one to the day of our wedding, September 27, 2014, they were nothing but fantastic!
Annie, Heather, and Maggie are the warmest, most accommodating people you will ever meet! You will absolutely feel like a member of their family! The venue is stunning and gives you endless options to tailor your event to be exactly what you want it to be!
The Salter family also has an excellent list of recommended vendors and they are always prepared to point you in the right direction with any information you may need. They are in touch throughout the process, ready to assist with anything you may need, and completely organized to make sure that your planning and day-of coordination goes off without a hitch! Bishop Farm is absolutely the place to have the rustic dream wedding you've imagined!
Thank you Heather, Annie and Maggie for making that weekend one we will never forget. You are probably 3 of the most amazing women I have ever met. Honestly, when Sunday came, I truly didn't want to leave. I felt like we were leaving family!
From the rehearsal dinner to the wedding, everything was shear perfection. The venue is, of course, amazing, but your willingness to help with even the smallest details was what impressed me. I can't think of a thing that I would have done differently.
So again, thank you, thank you, thank you.
The setting is fantastic, but more than that, the Salter Family is phenomenal. The family was very attentive to our every need. They were always very pleasant and helpful. We all felt like they went the extra mile to make the event perfect. I will recommend the Bishop Farm to anyone who ever asks for a location to host their wedding. They didn't even rush us out on Sunday. I can't say enough great things about the location and the family. Thank you.
Heather did a fantastic job the entire weekend. The wedding party stayed on site and we were all treated so well by the Salter family. Always feeling so welcomed. Rain on the wedding day forced the ceremony to take place in the barn( which is beautiful! ) But naturally my daughter was hoping for an outside ceremony. Heather was able to make the change in plans so smoothly that the guests would not have known there was a change last minute. And most importantly my daughter was thrilled with the outcome. THANK YOU Salter family!
Bishop Farm and the folks who run it are absolutely amazing. Seriously. If I was limited to one word to describe my experience as a bride at Bishop Farm it would have to be "magical". Honestly, I could not have imagined a better setting for one of the most important events in my life. Annie, Heather, Maggie, et al. had a plan for every minute detail we hadn't even considered and made the entire process as close to stress-free as is literally possible. The phrase "above and beyond" barely does justice to this crew: when my elderly grandmother was feeling under the weather on Thursday morning, Annie offered to drive her home [read: home is approximately 149 miles away]. And then, two days later, Annie turned around and picked her up so she could be at the ceremony.
If you want your wedding to take place in the most gorgeous of settings, orchestrated by the kindest, funniest and truly genuine people, do yourself a favor and get up to the white mountains to take a tour at Bishop Farm. You will not be disappointed.
The Salter ladies, Maggie Heather and Annie, helped us create a once in a lifetime event and memories we will cherish forever. The groom, Peter, and bride, Nicki, found BF in the dead of winter and were immediately able to see that it would be the perfect spot for their destination wedding in July. Family and wedding party took over the inn and cottages starting on Thursday and from the moment we arrived and began setting up, Annie and Heather attended to every detail. Plus they are just fun and interesting people!! And Maggie's breakfasts are the best. We could not have asked for a more accommodating team to work with. The new fire pit area at the back of the property had just been completed and it was a great space to gather post rehearsal dinner and of course after the reception for the making of s'mores.
During the ceremony and reception, everything ran seamlessly. Heather and Annie were present to attend to every detail --- moving flowers from the birch arbor down to the barn, etc. And there couldn't be a better place to present the new Mr. and Mrs. than in that barn doorway with the curtains pulled back. Thank you, thank you. We all want to go back and do it again.
Heather, Annie and Maggie Salter are an amazing trio! The moment we met Annie in January we knew we wanted to get married at Bishop Farm in July - even though we didn't see it without snow until May! The barn is beautiful, truly the epitome of rustic chic with the chandeliers, wood beams, sheer curtains and high ceilings. There are so many fun decorations to utilize as well as details that are permanently in the barn - and the bathrooms are amazing, which was a very important part of the puzzle as we looked at venues - especially barns! The variety of location options for the ceremony were fun, and there was always a back-up plan in case of rain.
I think being able to utilize so many different spaces made the evening feel like there were distinct "acts" although everything was right there on the property. Space for lawn games and fire pits for s'more roasting were additional fun touches.
Being able to have the wedding party and family stay on property made it that much easier to do the set-up and final details leading up to the ceremony (and then sadly pack up following brunch on site the next day). It was also very important that we were the only wedding at our venue for the entire weekend so could fully utilize the space and enjoy our time - making it our own.
Heather and Annie are very responsive through all the planning and kept us organized with monthly conference calls. The day of, they kept us on schedule and organized, always with a smile. Maggie is such a joy to have around and the amount of work she does - from making us breakfast, to driving us around in the golf cart for the ceremony to sewing my friend's pants when he split them on the dance floor! Our guests were delighted that the Salters felt like part of the party while "working", and we were so grateful for that. My only complaint is that the day flew by!! We want to do it again. We will be back to stay at the B&B next year when it's not a wedding party weekend :-)
I don't even know where to start with my review for Bishop Farm, there are so many wonderful things I could say! I have attended events at Bishop Farm as both a guest and as a coordinator. From the second you step foot onto the grounds it is as if everything else melts away and all you see and all you can do is smile. The main house makes you just want to sit and have a cup of tea and a good talk with Maggie, Heather and Annie. The grounds are meticulously maintained and colorful. There is an option of ceremony sites (I have seen both and you can not go wrong either way!) The cottages look and feel like they are straight out of a Pottery Barn catalog. The Barn, oh the barn, is the perfect touch of old with new. The deck is perfect for those cool summer nights, the fire pit is great for friends old and new to gather around. This team is beyond fantastic. You can not go wrong with Bishop Farm and everything it has to offer!!
Our wedding weekend at Bishop Farm was truly outstanding. We used the facilities for the entire weekend, with guests on the spacious deck for the welcome dinner and cocktail hour, in front of the milk barn for the ceremony, and in the spectacular barn for the wedding reception. We also filled all the cabins and rooms at the inn with guests and family. The accommodations were so comfortable (everyone raved about the beds) and well-appointed - each room/cabin had a unique feel or feature.
From the initial point of contact through the end of the actual wedding weekend, the Salter ladies made us feel like part of the family. Heather, Annie and Maggie were personable, professional, receptive, flexible and incredibly hard-working. We arrived ahead of the weekend to begin decorating the barn and grounds, and the Salter ladies were right there with us, pitching in, making suggestions, finding unique and useful items for us to use from the lending closet, and making us laugh! They climbed ladders, hung lights, hauled furniture, and responded immediately to even the slightest suggestion from us. A simple "could we? or I wonder if…" would prompt a full scale effort to make each thought into reality with remarkable results, time after time.
Heather's instincts for staging and decorating, Annie's tireless efforts to groom each setting to perfection, and Maggie's well-timed help and smiling support (not to mention, delicious food) made us feel that we were in very capable hands.
Our guests had a wonderful time, and so did we. Many of our friends and family called it "the best wedding ever", "the happiest of times", and simply "awesome".
As in many of life's events, the "devil is in the details"– luckily for us, the Salter angels were there to handle the details for us… Thank you ladies from the bottom of our hearts!

Pert Near Sandstone
Strings'll be the thing at this annual two-day assembly of pickers and fiddlers intent on chasing the bleak midwinter with fiery forays into vintage folk, country, and grasses blue and new. Hosts Pert Near Sandstone are still riding high on the recent release of their fifth album, Paradise Hop, which finds the Pert boys musing on such contemporary issues as the regenerative wonders of caffeine and the 35-W bridge collapse via their trademark new old-timey perspective. Pert Near's guest Friday will be Colorado's Head for the Hills, a maverick string quartet that pairs traditional bluegrass with jazz-tinged improvisation. H4TH's eponymous 2009 album sports the klezmer-riddled "Chupchik," the progressive rock-patterned epic "Nooks and Crannies" (featuring an heroic electric Mandoblaster solo), and a striking bluegrass arrangement of the R&B nugget "Unchain My Heart." Up first on Saturday will be Chicago's Henhouse Prowlers, who also peck at modern concerns in their original lyrics while rooted to Bill Monroe's acoustic tradition. Actually, the Prowlers have a prominent Flatt & Scruggs aura, thanks to Ben Wright's use of Earl Scruggs's three-finger roll technique on banjo. Their vocal harmonies, meanwhile, are firmly rooted in the Kentucky turf, while sometimes cultivating a modern, edgy irony on their latest, Verses, Chapters, Rhymes.
Fridays, Saturdays, 7 p.m. Starts: Jan. 27. Continues through Jan. 28, 2012

Lessons from Living on a Bicycle
I have been more-or-less living outside for three months while I bicycle from Oregon to Patagonia. I have made it to the high plateau of Mexico...
of adventure, connection, and change making.
I have been more-or-less living outside for three months while I bicycle from Oregon to Patagonia. I have made it to the high plateau of Mexico...
When I watched your video on the Nat Geo article and you said "the routine is the enemy of time" I thought wow, this guy took the words out of my mouth! I think it is incredible what you are doing and so inspiring!
People like you are who should be speaking to kids in college because all I remember from my education is to get a job and pay bills. And once college ended I felt my life was no longer fun. It wasn't until I traveled over seas for the first time and realized, "wow there is so much more to this life". No one ever looks back and says "darn I wish I hadn't spent that money on that vacation" traveling and pictures are things that are priceless because it's lifetime memory noone can take from you.
I am in my early 30s and feel so much pressure to be married with kids and working but that just doesn't seem as satisfying. I just feel you really put things so perfectly into perspective and now next time someone gives me a hard time I will copy and past your articles and
Video to them and leave it at that! :) safe travels and
Continue making your lifetime
Of memories!!!
I especially love two parts in this:
The first is a new insight into how we view the integration of communication with modern technology. I love your comparison to the ancients loosing it over written language. GREAT analogy.
The second is not reading the comments. What a simple, but insightful, (do I say 'comment' here?). Certainly words to live by!
Keep it up and enjoy the ride.
Mad dope homie. Have loved following you along on the insta and hope to meet you in person if you ever make it back to Oregon. Keep the travel tidbits coming. And for chrissakes, put on some headphones for a stint, will ya??? ;) -craytx
Thanks for the insightful and really well written update Jedidiah. In case you do read the comments, know that you have excited me into my own discoveries.
And, I'm sure you know this, but here's what I've learned about proving skeptics/haters wrong: They don't care. They won't learn. They will stay exactly the way they are today. So, keep doing the work that's worth doing. It's not about the skeptics/haters. It's about the people who care, support and enable. Keep delighting the true believers. Seguro viaja amigo.
Thank you, thank you Jedidiah (?). Especially for this short snippet: "It might get you in trouble, and it might hurt you. But you'll feel alive and you'll feel honest. And maybe most importantly: do the uncomfortable thing."
Right now, I feel the most honest I have ever been. With myself, my family, and God. I am declaring that my life will look different--whether it's because I won't own a car but instead commute anywhere on my road bike; or I won't just have a pet dog but chickens too; or I won't hand a person on the street a few bucks or something to eat, but instead invite them into my home for a mea; or I won't just live in a two story house with my husband and 2.3 kids but instead in community (however that may come to look).
I am finally looking at the future in the face and can say that I am not afraid, for I am living for something. While my outlook for living in hope with community may seem radical to many, especially my family, I hope that it transcends the blockade set by societal norms; it is not some whimsical ideal but a demonstration of what reality could look like.
It is not what we refuse to do in our daily life but what we are doing, individually and together. While your contribution to GOOD is to inspire, it is also affirming.
Keep riding. We're not giving up on you.
truck-sound, I mean. Damned little keyboards ... :=}
I love what you're doing. Yeay you! And I agree that millennials are connecting, just through different means. I do worry that they miss a lot of what's going on right in their space at the present moment, but tell me how Dad sitting on his Barcalounger with a Bud in his hand is grokking the richness of relationships all around him. I also love your statement "Challenges are fuel to the proud" and plan to steal it. One caveat: As a veteran of a few bike treks back in the day, let me urge you to listen to music -- not too loud -- with one earbud and keep the other ear cocked for truckj-sound. Fortune favors the well-prepared.
I know you won't be reading any of these comments, least of all mine. But if you're tempted to glance at any of them be sure to read Auntiegrav's comments. She's wise and just the kind of cheerleader every adventurous young person should have on their side. If she isn't your aunt already then perhaps you ought to adopt her.
You inspire me.
What an incredible perspective, endeavor and attitude. Thanks, Jedidiah. I needed to hear it. Read the comments, just live your own life.
you go dude. rock it.
wonderful insights, thank you for sharing your adventures. and thoughts!
With a name like Jedidiah you were destined for insight and creativity and a good sense of what matters. Don't know why I think that but I do! Thank you for sharing your inspirational journey. Being open to the world and kismet and connections to new people, places and cultures- you are clearly living. Soak it in. It is a gift as are you. Hope you got your donut!
So awesome! Get it!
Been following your amazing trip on Instagram, it is very inspiring
Greetings from Chile
This was a beautiful and thoughtful article, and it really made me think about how we view and comprehend new forms of communicative technology. Poetry in the moment. I hope your journey is filled with only a few flat tires, lots of great adventures and many more memories. All the best from Calgary, AB. Christine
«Challenges are always fuel to the proud», your words open up my eyes. Thanks!
PD. It´s nice to know you choose Mexico for your journey (I'm a proud mexican)..
Hey Jed! It's been a real pleasure following you and Philip on this adventure. Your insight about insta and posting photos now creating opportunity for us to "encounter poetry" is such a lovely thought. The descriptions you've been including with your photos are highlights to my day. All the best as you two travel on!
All the best from Chicago,
"I am so tired of people mocking the integration of communication and technology with our lives. I can imagine the ancients, accustomed to thousands of years of oral story telling, losing their shit over the kids inventing written language. "All these young people are obsessed with writing, always writing, never looking around to see or hear the world. What will they become?!""
Top notch Jed.
Thank you for sharing this post and your journey!
Great to hear about your journey. My wife and I rolled up in Buenos Aires several years back without much of a plan and ended up travelling the length of the Andes twice-over in a Mazda pick-up and conceiving our daughter en route over 16 months or so. Agree totally re your comments about discomfort. We camped much of the way. From my comfy office seat that now seems astonishing but its amazing how fast whatever we do becomes the new normal. Relish every second of it. We quite enjoyed reading 'The Old Patagonian Express' by Paul Theroux on the way down...mostly because he was such a reluctant traveller and spent much of the journey cursing himself for starting the journey and being too obsessive to stop! Very funny.
This journey of yours is so awesome. How many rests do you take throughout the day?

Vegas may be famous for its neon signs, but casinos are slowly phasing them out. Luckily, as they go, the Neon Boneyard is here to rescue them and take them to a place of rest. Over 150 historic signs - from the marquees of imploded casinos such as the Stardust and the Silver Slipper to laundrette and cafe signs - are arranged outside in a state of graceful decay, and you can even catch the original sign for Caesars Palace. Now's the time to enjoy it again - it just reopened September 3 after a year-long refurbishment. If you're feeling nostalgic for the old days, there's nowhere better.
Technically it's free but donations of at least US$15 are strongly encouraged.

PSA: F.E.A.R. + Expansions on Steam for $10
Soooo, I had fun with the original FEAR a couple years ago, but never got around to the expansions. FEAR 2 looked kind of weak, so I haven't gotten around to playing that either. But now, Steam has a sweet deal for FEAR + Extraction Point + Perseus Mandate for $10. If you haven't played FEAR yet, but love horror, now's a good time to pick it up for cheap.

Infectonator - perhaps the best zombie flash game you'll ever play
Everyone loves zombies. This has been scientifically proven many times.
So, I figure it is my duty to report to yall when I've found a bomb-ass zombie game. Apologies if this is "old news" by now, but I'd never heard of this game prior and it's just so addictive.
I guess if I had to compare Infectonator to another game, it's a bit like Peggle. You click somewhere on the overhead view of a town/city, and that is where the zombie virus is launched. At first, you can't do anything after the click, just watch the mayhem and hope you take out enough of townspeople, but eventually you can unlock additional clicks, wider click spread range, increased zombie stats, and OMG SPECIAL ZOMBIES that you can place at any time during a town attack.
I don't want to spoil much about strategies and the special zombies, so I'm just going to hope the concept of annihilating with world by managing zombie infections will draw you to try it. And if this doesn't sound appealing to you, you have no soul, frankly.
Here are 2 different links to the game (online only I believe):

Persona 3 - The Answer, why do you punish me so?
So, last night I finished Persona 3. I booted up the epilogue expansion today, "The Answer", and after playing for an hour and a half: GOD DAMMIT!
So Aigis is the main character now, and it's so hard to "first strike" the enemies in dungeons. She has a ranged shot to engage enemies, but it's pretty hard to aim accurately, and if you miss you're pretty much fucked. I don't know about you guys, but I used a 1H sword with the protaganist in the main game, and had no trouble engaging enemies first. Now, I'm getting ambushed about 20% of the time. Nothing like getting hit first by a purple monster, and them casting Mabufula, Zionga (on me + my weakness), and then a second Mabufula to finish me off before I can enter a command. I know normally those spells suck, but keep in mind you start at level 25 when you start the game, so they actually hurt at this point.
It also doesn't help that I, the main character, am the weakest member of the party. My sister android can deal 190+ damage, yet I can't crack 90 :( And the other party members can at least attack multiple enemies. And Orpheus, I hate you. 2 weaknesses, and no resistance. Yet I have to use you sometimes because you possess the only elemental magic in the early game *shakes fist*
So yeah, /rant mode. It's just pretty frustrating to going from a lvl 80 persona master that can beat the shit out of the Apocalypse Incarnate, to a lvl 25 cyborg that still uses friggin' Agi as the only offensive magic. *sigh* Off to return and try again, like an abused woman...

The creepiest part of Fallout 3?
I'm level 19 right now in the game, and so far the creepiest part of the game for me has to be vault 108. This is the one with nothing but clones of a guy apparently named Gary, and all they can say is "Gary" like they're playing hide and seek, and laugh in an unnerving manner. What makes it even weirder I think is how easy they are to kill. It's like they don't give a shit, they just run around all the time laughing and calling to each other while I slaughter all of them in one hit... *shivers*

Both Oddworld games on sale this weekend for mad cheap!
Hi guys, just pointing out that this weekend the first two Oddworld games: Oddysee and Exodus are on sale on Steam for $3.75 for the package. These games were a blast to play on the PSX, and if you haven't played them yet, I'd best describe them as a platformer/puzzle game with a great sense of humor. Buy it naow!

Videogames in Hip Hop
I love hip-hop, and I love videogames, so I thought I'd share some of my favorite artists that blend the two together. I found these guys on a music site called thesixtyone, so that's why all my links go there:
is a rapper famous for his Mega Ran album. Mega Ran 9 is coming out soon, and I'm really excited for it
The 8-Bit Boys
are 4 rappers that teamed up to make some fun music. They do raps about things like castlevania, contra, faulty systems, and the gamer lifestyle
is a rapper I just discovered today. "Seek & Destroy" and "Special Move" are the tracks you want to check out.
Charles Barkley
, well it's probably not actually Charles Barkley, but someone made a page revolving around the excellent
Barkley Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden

DJ Green Lantern produced a track with Kool G Rap sampling the FF7 battle theme. Lyrically, the song has nothing to do with it, but it sounds pretty cool
I think a Dtoid editor posted this a month or two ago, but in case you missed it, here's Ludacris' rap about videogames
Do you guys have any suggestions for good videogame rap?

10 Things You Don't Know About ran24
I don't know how or why this got started, but I'll give it a go.
10) I love to travel
I was in Budapest last semester, and so I got to hit up most of Eastern Europe. I visited Croatia, Prague, Vienna, Brussels, Berlin, Amsterdam, and Krakow over the last couple months. I also have family in Indonesia who I visit every couple years. I've also been to Spain, Mexico, Canada, and Singapore. Hopefully, Japan is next.
9) I enjoy watching anime
Cowboy Bebop, GTO, Full Metal Panic, Samurai Champloo, and Ghost in the Shell are my favorites.
8) I don't get why everyone likes Earthbound
Seriously, it's not that good.
7) I collect Marvel comics
I didn't really get into them until a couple years ago, but I've built up a pretty good collection of hardcovers, TPBs, and regular issues:
Wolverine is my favorite character. If you don't like him, there's something wrong with you. He's a good guy at heart, but isn't afraid of killing people that deserve it. I like that.
And I still can't believe "Brand New Day" with Spiderman happened. W T F
6) I'm scared of driving and getting lost
If I'm going somewhere I've never been before or can't remember how to get to, I try my damnedest to get someone to come along. I'll avoid going to an event or get together sometimes if I can't get someone. It's bad.
5) I play Magic: The Gathering
I've sunk a couple thousand over time into this friggin' game; it's like crack to me. I don't even play competitively, just with friends and family. It's awesome though.
4) I like Hip-Hop and Jazz
I know, pretty weird combo. When I find the two genres mixed into a single song though, I bust a nut.
3) I've never played a Zelda, Mega Man, or Metroid game for more than half an hour
They just don't interest me. Oh, and Mega Man's too fucking hard. Props if you can beat his games.
2) I will kick your ass in Ping-Pong
I also love sting pong, but can very rarely get someone to play with me :(
1) I hate Mario
He was cool in the NES and SNES days, but now he's useless. All this guy does anymore is put out Mario Party, Kart, and Sports games every year or two. Go away with Sonic and never come back.

I'm doing it wrong.
So, apparently people usually introduce themselves when they join Destructoid. Yeah...never did that, so I'll give it a go despite lurking around the site for about a year now.
My name's Rob, and I've loved videogames ever since I was exposed to them with my cousins for the first time in Indonesia. Mario Bros and Contra baby! My dad never wanted us to get a system, because he knew it would melt our minds. But in 2002, I got my hands on a PSOne. Yeah, I know I was way behind on the curve. Still it was an awesome time, playing Tekken 3 with my brother and working my way through FFVII.
I got a PS2 two years later, and just this christmas I finally got around to the PS3. I've built up a solid PS2 collection over the years (pictured below), and hope to have a PS3 collection to rival it by the time I adopt the PS4.
I never really liked the 360, the pad feels really weird to me, though I tolerate it to play some G.R.A.W. co-op occasionally. As for the Wii, Brawl seems to be its only saving point, and only with the Gamecube controller. I don't understand how anyone could play competitively with the Wii controls.
I guess I'm a bit of a fanboy. I will admit though, Sony's handling of the PS3 has been ABYSMAL. They deserve to be behind for this console generation.
I also play me some PC games, though nothing that has come out in the last 2 years. I don't have the specs for that stuff. Still, I've been happy with Deus Ex, Starcraft, Diablo, Warcraft 3, and Half-Life 2. Oh, and like Anthony Burch I like Indie games!
Anyway, behold my collection!
That lone 360 game? My brother wanted me to buy it for him so he could play it over friend's houses, 'cuz he likes virtual titties a bit too much :P
Anyway, thanks for a good year Destructoid, and I'm sure the trend will continue. Hopefully I haven't sucked :)

Indie Island: The Wonderful End of the World
The Wonderful End of the World is basically Katamari Damacy for the PC. You move your avatar around the levels, automatically absorbing objects no larger than you and continually growing in mass so you can absorb bigger things.
The game features some cool levels, like a retro arcade level and an abstract level consisting of nothing but letters and words, but other than that the 12 levels are very similar to those found in the original Katamari Damacy.
The game is pretty short, and I beat it in under 2 hours. If you don't own Katamari Damacy I could recommend a purchase for the End of the World since it's a cheap $10 on Steam, but if you already own its predecessor it's skippable. The demo does have the retro arcade level though, so you can check that out if interested.

(Question) Castlevania: Sotn CD rooms
So I downloaded Castlevania Symphony of the Night on PSN, and its pretty cool. What doesn't make sense to me though are the rooms that have a picture of a CD and the word "CD" below it. What are these rooms for? I stood in the rooms for a bit and no music came on, and I've tried pressing random controller buttons, so I don't know what to do...

Odin Sphere: Frustrating or Fun?
When Odin Sphere came out for the Playstation 2 two years ago, it was hailed as having some of the most gorgeous visuals seen in a videogame. However, many people disliked the game because of its harsh difficulty or �cheapness.� So, when I picked the game up last month and started playing it, I was prepared for controller smashing frustration and many, many continues.
That never happened for my playthrough.
Was I able to beat enemies without getting hit? No. What made the game immensely easier is a simple alchemy item: Painkillers.
Painkillers reduce all damage you take by 50%, and eliminate knockback effects on you. All those one or two hit kills people complained about in boss fights? Painkillers now give you a three or four hit lifespan. The Painkiller potion is incredibly easy to make, requiring a simple level 2 alchemy material and either a Cubsbane or Carroteer. These items are very easy to obtain, and so I almost always had an ample supply of Painkillers. My brother had complained of dying so easily when he was playing, and I asked him whether he had used them when he played, and he said no. With the painkillers, I encountered no unexpected deaths at the hands of bosses. This humble item makes the game so much more enjoyable, and if you utilize it Odin Sphere becomes much more manageable in terms of difficulty.
The game also received criticism for its POW combat system, in which you have a meter that decreases every time you make a rapid series of attacks, and if the bar reaches zero, you are stunned for a couple of seconds. To recover the POW bar, you must remain on the ground and not attack for a few seconds. Some complained that it ruined the game for them because combat would have to be interrupted to recover.
I think the POW bar is an interesting addition to the otherwise fairly mindless hack and slash genre. You can still perform three or four full combos before your POW runs out, but you cannot simply spam the same combo over and over or you leave yourself vulnerable. You instead need to utilize spells you have (which do not use POW) and strategically retreat a bit to triumph over your foes. I thought it was a nice change of pace.
The game does have some issues, like some annoying enemies (teleporting wizards) and an irritatingly small inventory space. It can get a bit repetitive as well, since you revisit most of the areas with each character. Also, every time you move into the next area, there is a loading screen. I didn't mind it that much, but it bothered some people.
Gameplay aside though, the game has incredible production values, with excellent english voice acting, gorgeous visuals, and a cool ending system. So, even though the hack and slash genre may not be your favorite, I think experiencing the presentation of the game is worth a look by itself. The game is now a greatest hits game, so it should be cheap to buy!
I had a great time with Odin Sphere thanks to some information provided by my brother, which greatly reduced frustration and confusion when I played. You can check out our spoiler free tips below if you wind up picking up the game. I think it would make the experience much more enjoyable if you didn�t have to find things out by trial and error, since it can be a difficult game if you don�t know what you are doing.
While stunned from zero POW you are still able to use spells, so you are not completely defenseless. Also, if you hold R1 and are able to absorb some phozons, you can decrease the stun time by a second or two.
To level up your hit points, you can eat fruits and other foodstuffs you find to earn experience. However, after you get to around level 20 it becomes ineffective to simply eat fruit. This is where the recipe system comes in. If you bring certain items to a caf� or restaurant, and you have the corresponding recipe, when you eat the cooked item you get much more experience then if you ate the ingredients separately. I�d recommend fully exploring every map so you do not miss out on good recipes.
When fiddling with material to use for alchemy, there are three kinds of items you can use to increase the ranking of the material:
1) Fruit: Fruit will increase the material number by 5. You can use partially eaten fruit, and you'll still get the full 5 increase, so take a bite of that napple to gain a bit of exp!
2) Bones: Increase the material number by 3
3) Everything else: Non-mandragora items increase material numbers by 1.
The toxin alchemy potion is quite useful on mini-bosses. It poisons them, and poison lasts a LONG time in this game, which I learned the hard way when I was out of antidote potions. Toxin is ineffective against main bosses however.
Avoid spending Ariel coins and Valentinian gold if you can when purchasing merchant items, and never spend Commemorative coins. These are the only coins accepted for payment in the restaurant and caf�, and so you need to save them for making your recipes.
Painkillers. Make them.
If there are lots of phozons floating around at the end of an area, and you have a full or near full psypher gauge bar, use the Phozon Release spell to net a couple of extra phozons. Since you refill the psypher gauge when you absorb phozons, the energy you spent on casting phozon release will be recovered by the large amount of phozons you will absorb.
Do not run into your own cyclone spell. It will hurt you and at lower levels is a one hit kill.
Slimes are immune to normal attacks. Mercedes� and Velvets� charge attacks will kill slimes, and I think Oswald in shadow form does too. If you are Cornelius, and you do not have enough magic or attack potions to kill them, if you use a piercing attack on a slime several times, they will drop a toxin potion that you can use to kill them.
Teleporting wizards will teleport away after one hit, unless you stun them by deflecting their own projectile swords at them. If you are near two or three of them at once, I�d recommend using the Phozon Burst spell to kill them all in one shot, saving you the trouble of stunning them.
What did you guys think of Odin Sphere? Frustrating or Fun?

"I'm pleased with how my son's birth announcements came out. I liked how I could put multiple pictures on it. The quality of the printing was excellent and the pictures were clear and had no issues. I do wish this card came with an option to put a picture on the back though."
"Loved the final product! Dots and "introducing" are really a silver metallic if that changes your view in any way. Easy to change font and wording of birth info. I also added a picture on the back and added handwritten personal message there. I had tiny prints print addresses and add stamps... looked great and made it much easier for me to get them out."
"Everything came out as expected, I love them! The paper is a high quality matte that I'm pleased with and the print is perfect. The customer service at Tiny Prints is what has more ordering over and over. My first experience was about a year ago - my sister was graduating from high school and she placed her own order and accidentally messed up some wording. Tiny Prints helped me rectify the problem quickly and kindly. With this order, I got a personal, handwritten note from Luke, which I thought was a nice touch!"
"We just sent out our Birth Announcements and we are very happy with them. Tiny Prints was easy to use and we were very pleased with the quality and design of the cards. I would recommend."
"This was an announcement for the birth of our second child. I chose the pearl finish and it exceeded what I had in mind when it arrived! I also ordered on a Tuesday and the prints were here by Friday!! Super fast delivery! I will recommend to everyone!"

Paramita Vegetarian - Cheung Yee, Hong KongPosted on 04 / 14 / 2015
Anyone who has been to either of the other 2 branches of Paramita will have a pretty good idea what to expect.
I spun in here earlier today looking for something light. When you come out the lift on the 3rd floor Paramita is very well advertised and easy to find.
I went for a bowl of soup with a dumpling. Very nice it was too. The menu is in English as well as Chinese. The waitresses who spoke with me didn't speak much English (one of them was the friendly type though) although the Assistant Manager did (always a useful bonus if like me your grasp of Cantonese is still at the embryonic stage).
There's a couple of other places nearby that will appear more to those currently looking to minimise cost. Paramita isn't trying to compete with those places though, Paramita is clearly aimed at the mid price range of the market.
10% service charge added.
If I was around Lai Chi Kok again I'd have no issue with eating here again.

Tatu and Loulis, the two remaining chimpanzees at Central Washington University's Chimpanzee and Human Communication Institute (CHCI), have arrived safely at their new home in Canada. Mary Lee Jensvold, director of CHCI, accompanied the chimpanzees to Fauna Foundation, www.faunafoundation.org, a 200-acre permanent sanctuary located in Quebec.
Their daylong journey began on August 28. The chimpanzees were lightly sedated for their safety and well being, and placed in cages for travel and then flew non-stop from Ellensburg to Quebec in a special transport jet and delivered to the facility. In addition to Jensvold, a primate veterinarian was on board to monitor the animals' vital signs.
"Every effort was made to ensure the chimpanzees' welfare," said Kirk Johnson, dean of CWU's College of the Sciences. "That included reducing any kind of emotional stress or trauma."
Tatu and Loulis, who learned to communicate via American Sign Language (ASL), will be gradually integrated with the eleven other chimpanzees at the sanctuary. Jensvold is staying for a week to help acclimate the chimpanzees to their new residence. In addition, Gloria Grow, the director at the Fauna Foundation, was in a two-week Earthwatch program at CHCI in 1995. She has recently learned some ASL.
"There's no doubt that Tatu and Loulis will have a better quality of life at the sanctuary," said. Johnson. "They'll have a more natural environment, and more chimpanzees to interact with."
Research indicates that family relationships are vital to the emotional and physical well being of chimpanzees, which live in extended family groups of as many as 20-120 individuals.
Earlier this year, the Friends of Washoe, the non-profit organization that owns the chimpanzees, decided it would be in the chimpanzees best interests to move them to a sanctuary that afforded them with more opportunities for social interactions with other chimpanzees. This was after the natural deaths of two of the chimpanzees in the past several years had reduced the group to only two.
Friends of Washoe was established to ensure the care of Washoe and her family and will continue to do so until the passing of Tatu and Loulis. The organization paid all of the costs of transporting and relocating the chimpanzees to their new home.
The Fauna Foundation was created in 1997 to provide a protected environment for neglected, abandoned or abused farmed and domestic animals and animals from entertainment, education and research. Their advisory board includes Roger and Deborah Fouts, the originators of CHCI; renowned primate researcher Jane Goodall; and Mary Lee Jensvold.

I love my black cherry Beckmans. They partial tread is great for when you leave the pavement, or when inclement weather hits. The color of the black cherry is truly phenomenal, and is definitely the color to go with on the Beckmans, imho (aside from maybe the chestnut, which was a nice light brown that they discontinued a couple years ago). Black cherry works with just about anything (chinos, jeans, etc) and just about any color (aside from burgundy). These are some of my most worn boots, and I own a lot of boots. Truly a great boot. The only potential drawback is that there is basically no shape/support to the footbed, but you eventually create your own heel/toe indentations, and too much of a footbed makes you lose all the muscle in your foot, so that's no good either. If that bothers you, just add a footbed insert (and potentially size up 1/2 size from what would fit if you had no footbed if you're in between sizes).I'd say these fit 1/4-1/2 size smaller than sneakers. I tend to be somewhere between a 9 and 9.5 in most shoes, but the 9 was what fit best. I'm a 8.5 in the Iron Rangers, so the fit on these seems to be a bit different, but both fit wonderfully once I had my size dialed in. I actually have a set of footbeds in my black cherry beckmans (size 9) and decided to go w/o footbeds in my chestnut beckmans, but size 9 seemed to fit right both ways. If it helps, I'm an 8.5 in CDBs.Buy this boot.
