The rains had stayed away for quite some time this year. Also it was a perfect time to visit Siddhagad, as we would have been able to check out the complete fort. Myself and Jamir made it on this one. Thanks to the Birje's that we were able to reach Boriwadi well before time or else it was going to be another walk in the dark for us till Nariwali.
The route taken was, Thane-Kalyan-Murbad-Mhasa-Jamurde village-Borwadi village-Siddhagad machi-Siddhagad ballekilla-Siddhagad machi-Siddhagad pada-Uchale village-Murbad-Kalyan-Thane.
After a gap of almost a decade was able to see the top of Siddhagad. Took some pics on this trek, uploaded some (all have gone through some color correction) please bear with them.

Harishchandra Gad
Start to another trekking season, yes and we start with Harishchandra Gad. This time i guess our timing was not the best, but still, any time is just perfect to visit HG. Not many came on this one, apun, Kaustubh and Shailesh Sir made it this time. We went by the normal, Khireshwar-Tolarkhind-Ballekilla route. This time we explored Ballekilla too, each one who goes to HG should go to Ballekilla too.

Kajva Night at Khireshwar
We thought that this is that time of the year when one can see lots of fireflies (Kajwa's) in the jungle, hence went to the place where we had seen them before (Khireshwar Jungle). But they come when nature calls them and not when we want them to be.....but when you are in natures lap, you will be the least disappointed. So much is happening around us, witness one of the best sunrises of all time......just amazing. Took some pics, all have gone through some sort of color correction, please bear with it.

Finally after quite sometime we did a long journey with Eva. This time to Mahabaleshwar, we did not go around Mahabaleshwar a lot. It was a nice stay, weather was pleasant. Visited Pratapgad the second day, it is always worth it to visit it.

Jeevdhan fort via Naneghat
After more then 10 years attempting to climb the amazing fort again (last time did it with Gabdul and Kaustubh). The plan was the same as that happened last time round. Climbing Naneghat in the night, resting for sometime in the Naneghat caves and in the morning moving for the climb to Jeevdhan. Climbing Jeevdhan fort from Junnar side and getting down via the Kalyan side, and then finally climbing down the Naneghat mountain. Myself, Shailesh, Jamir and Sarvesh came on this amazing trek. Shaitan, Bappa, Abhijeet, Kapila vahini, Drishthi and Gargi came directly on the top of Naneghat in the morning. The heat was manageable but this trek should be carried out in the winter time, it would be even more fun then.

Old Malshej Ghat route
Hrishi went to HG in the previous week and while coming back he had seen a well paved track in the opposite mountains of the Malshej Ghat. On some enquiry he came to know that it was the old Malshej Ghat route that can be accessed via Thitabhi village. Hats off to Hrishi, in very short notice Hrishi and Bhupya came along, off course Hrishi brought his car too. We landed at Thitabi at around 1 am, started the trek/hike in the morning. It takes around 3 hrs for a leisure walk to the top (MTDC resort). Took some pics, all pics have gone through some color correction, please bear with that.

Last time when we had to Ghangad, we were not able to see anything other then the white wall (clouds). This time we wanted to explore most of this little cut e strong fort. Not many turned up for this one, apun, Saumya and Sarvesh made it. We took the 9 am St bus to Bamburde village from Lonawala ST depot. The route was, Thane-Khopoli-Lonawala-Bamburde-Ekole-Ghangad-Ekole-Bamburde-Lonawala-Thane. Took some pics on this one, all pics have gone through some kind of color correction, please bear with it.

5 people, apun, Jay, Kapila vahini, Shailesh Sir and Hrishi came on this one. Our route was Thane-Igatpuri-Peney village-Nirgudpada-Kotamwadi-Harihar Fort-Kotamwadi-Khodale-Kasara Higway-Thane. While going we went by public transport and while coming back we had the luxury of Hrishi's car.
Harihar is an amazing fort, it doesnt need any fortification. The route up is so small that only one person at a time can enter the fort, thus only a hand full of soldiers could have been required to guard it. The perpendicular stair case is the most amazing thing about this fort, one has to see it to believe and feel it. If Hrishi would not have been there then we would have to get down the fort and reach Nirgudpada by 3 pm as the last bus to Igatpuri comes between 3 and 4 pm. If we miss this bus then the return journey lengthens a bit.
Took some pics on this trek, all pics have gone through some PP, please bear with it.

Kanheri Caves
A small trip to Kanheri Caves with Vidhisha, Shreya and Shailesh turned out to be an amazing full day outing. Sanjay Gandhi National Park is a beautiful place to be, lots and lots of trees around. The walk to the Kanheri Caves is another beautiful thing to do, (those private vehicles should be banned here). Took some pics, do have a look.

Naneghat Camping Kukdeshwar Tulja Leni
This time the plan was to camp at Naneghat, accordingly we started from Thane at around 1:40 pm, but due to traffic and not so good road condition, we reached Naneghat by 7:00 pm. In the dark we had to pitch our tents (luckily we found a nice spot). Cooked our dinner and went to sleep. In the morning we had planned to explore th Tulja Leni aka Tulja Bhavani caves near Junnar too. Mostly all things happened as planned just that we reached Naneghat a bit late then the expected did not work out. All in all it was a fun trip, first overnight outing for Eva without her mother.
Sanket, Chetan, Hrishi, Shailesh Sir and Shreyas came on this one, could not inform everybody due to limited seats in the car.

After a long time visiting this amazing place on earth. One needs to go there again and again to fully understand it and still remain unknown by many of its aspects. This time 11 bakras came on this lovely trek, although one day is a very very short time to explore this magnificent place, but still something is better then nothing. Apun, Shaitan, Bappa, Bhupya, Sir, Satya, Manish, Ravya, Swara vahini, Manoj, Bhakti vahini made on this trek. The route was Thane-Mahad-Shivar Chowk-Raigad Base-Mahad-Juinagar-Thane.

Our route was Thane-Kalva-Kasara-Nashik-Sogrash Fata-Satana-Taharabad-Mangi Tungi and the same way back. Did not inform anybody cause of limited seats in the car :(..our bad.

Ghangad, it was a difficult trek before the Shivaji Trail group installed a ladder on the difficult patch. Its a simple trek now. The route is, Thane-Lonawala-Bhamburde-Ekole-Ghangad-Ekole-Bhamburde-Lonawala-Thane. The plan while reaching the fort worked pretty well, but the return journey was not as smooth. 8 peoples came on this one. myself, Chetan, Rohit, Amrish, Shyam, Bhupendra, Manish, Shailesh came on this cute trek. If you are planning to go on this trek in the monsoons, please try an avoid to go there on a Sunday.

This was a last minute plan, but it was intitated very early by Bappa, he could not make it for this one though. If it wasnt for Srikanth and his group, i would have gone home.
Lohagad is an amazing place, but because of its easy access, now a days lots of people come to this place. It did rain a bit in the previous week and that prompted some more to head out for this amazing fort. It was a kind of big fair on the fort, nice to see that, but it does bring along some part of chaos too. Ne ways what ends well stays well.
The group gathered at Malavali station, from there we walked till the base of Lohagad, it takes around 2.5 hrs to reach the base. We had lunch at the base and then climbed the fort. It took around 40 minutes to reach the top. Saw most of the fort. On the way back, took the jeep from the base village till Malavali.

Yup...its time to visit HG again. Just before the rains, we hoped that it wont rain and it did not rain in the first half at all. HG is always new, it always offers something new. 8 peoples came on this one. Kaustubh, Ravi, Swara vahini, Mayuresh, Shailesh Sir, Dipali and Priyam came on this one. Hopefully everybody must have enjoyed this one. We started a bit late in the day, but the bonus of that was the fireflies night @ Khireshwar. It was an amazing display of nature. The thought of that show will always give me goosebumps for sure. Everyone in the group cooperated very well and had lots of fun. Hopefully Priyam will learn marathi soon :P. The route was the nehmichach, Khireshwar-Tolar Khind-Ballekilla-Caves-Konkan Kada and the same way back. This time we did not visit Taramati due to shortage of time, sorry for that guys. Took some pics on this trek too, all pics have gone through some color correction please bear with it.

Karnala Fort
This was going to be a bit of a hot kinda of trek.......thanks to Shailesh for bringing his vehicle. This was Eva's first official trek, i think see did enjoi it. The kids enjoyed it a lot. Jay and Drishthi joined us at the gate. We started the trek at around 10 am and left the jungle at 5:30 pm..........The water at the top of the fort is just too good, only thing is that try to carry water that will last till you reach the top.

Mama Bhanja Hill
This was a last minute decided event. Shaitan called up on Saturday night to confirm if we were going to Mama Bhanja on Sunday. I said if we (myself and Shailesh) happen to wake up early morning on Sunday, i'll give him a call and then we can meet up at Nitin Company junction. We did wake up early on Sunday, and everything fell in place. Only thing that i missed was to call up Hrishi and inform him about our plan, we did call him up next morning and let him know of the same, he did respond immediately. But an early morning climb is much better than a 8-9 am climb. It take around 1.5 hrs to reach the top, the view from the top is amazing. On one side there is this huge concrete jungle and on the other side we have a lovely national park.......amazing site it is.

Midnight Cycling CST to Thane
Shaitan initiated this crazy idea of riding in the night around Mumbai.......riding in the night needs some more of caution then riding in the day time. Four persons, apun, Sanket Samsi, Chetan Salunke and Satya came on this ride. Amazing is this place called Mumbai, so many people coming around the queens necklace at such hours, baapre hyana zhop kasi nahi yet. We started at around 12 and finished at 6 am.......the route was, CST-Gateway of India-Marine Drive-Jaslok-Haji Ali-Juhu Beach-Sea link-Prabhadevi-Dadar-via LBS-Thane. The dogs did gave us some scare, but then they too were sleepy. Nothing wrong happened on this ride and everybody reached home in one piece, hats off to Sanket and Satya......kadak riders they are. Took some pics and uploaded them too....just bear with the pp.

Ajya cha parvat
It was summer time, needed a break from this routine. We headed to Ajyacha parvat, the plan was to climb in the evening and get back the next day when the day was not that hot. Hrishi decided to jump into this plan and made our travelling very easy. The route was Thane-Asangaon-Shahpur-Doalkhamb-Sakurli-Dehne-Ajya Parvat.
Apun, Jay, Kapila vahini, Hrishi and Shreyas went on this one.

The route was, Rutu Enclave - Waterfall - Patonipada - Chenna - GB Road.

Trek to Shivneri, now Shivneri fort is an awesome place, but to call it a trek will be wrong. What we did was to walk from Bankar Fata till Shivneri in the full moon (it was holi night), its tough to walk without sleeping. The last bus leaving from Kalyan to Nagar wasnt empty, the group did not get the necessary sleep. Still every cooperated very nicely. The second part of the trek was to get down via Naneghat, that too went on very well. The view from the top of Nanacha Anghta is simply amazing.
Hrishi and family joined us at Shivneri in the morning, they did not come down via Naneghat. Myself, Shaitan, Sir, Jamir and Sachin Saitwadekar where the ones walking from Bankar fata till Shivneri......
The route, Thane-Kalyan-Bankar Fata-Golegaav-Junnar-Shivneri-Junnar-Ghatghar-Naneghat-Highway-Kalyan-Thane

Ankai Tankai
Ankai Tankai, one of the best location for a one day outing. Its very easy to be called a trek though. The travelling part is just too much or else this is a treat to be there. Four of us, myself, bappa, shaitan and sir went on this one, again this was a last minute planned trek hence not many came on this one. We reached Ankai village as planned also saw the twin forts as was planned, the only thing that did not fall in place was our return journey, trains were late by 3 hours. At least we got to sleep at Manmad station, but the constant announcements were a bit irritating though. To reach Ankai Tankai, one has to reach Manmad and from Manmad u can take a passenger train to drop you at Ankai station or take a shared transport from the highway and get down at Ankai station. From Ankai station its 6kms to the base village. All in all its a wonderful outing. Took some pictures, and all of the uploaded ones have gone through some color correction please bear with it.

A last minute email to the group and 5 of them turned up for this trek. That was a great way to start a new year holiday.
The Naik sisters (Bhakti and Niyati), Manoj, Bhupya and Sachin Saitwadekar came on this one. Everybody co-operated very well to make this one a lovely experience. Hats off to the Naik sisters for there efforts. Gorakhgad is quite a thrilling trek, it can get a bit scary at some patches, but then eveybody enjoyed them.
The route till Gorakhgad was, Thane-Kalyan-Murbad-Mhasa-Dehri.

This was a last minute kind of planned trek, wasn't expecting many to come. But then nobody turned up, since it was Kalsubai decided that i would do it solo. Also this was i would be able to judge how quickly can this trek be done, just like that. The route was the normal one, Thane-Kasara-Baari-Mt. Kalsubai-Baari-Kasara-Thane.
It seems everything had fallen in place cause did not have to wait much for the transportation thing. Every time i visit this place something new seems to be done on the route from a positive sense. This time saw most of the route has been nicely paved with steps and the railings are also in good condition. A perfect first timers trek this should be.
Baari village was very busy with the post monsoon harvest. And always it was very very pretty sight.

Malshej Ghat to Naneghat
Malshej Ghat - Taleraan Village - Nimgiri Village - Ajnavale Village - Ghatghar Village - Naneghat, this is how it was planned and thats the way it happened. Its a long cross country walk, with some very pretty villages on the way. The mountains are amazing, and as one crosses one valley, another valley comes in the front and the previous valley disappears. 9 trekkers came on this one. Everybody cooperated and hence we could finish it on the same day. But to really enjoy this outing, one must have to have a halt near Naneghat.

This had been coming for long time now....a night trek to Bhimashankar...and finally it happened on 19-20 April 2014. Thanks to Mangesh Thakur (the latest bakra).....he is nature lover, a birdy and has amazing knowledge of the jungle. The night walk in the jungle was a bit scary at times, all those insects just want to sit on you, thanks to the headlamp. We started from Khandas at around 5:30 pm and reached the top at around 10:30 pm. Started back at around 7:15 am and reached the base at around 12:30 pm. We were not able to escape the heat, had a minor problem with my left ankle....the getting down portion was very hurting. But all in all it was a nice outing. The jungles of Bhimashankar are lovely.

Cycle Ride From Mandawa to Harihareshwar
We had planned a cycle trip from Mandawa to Harihareshwar and back to Mandawa. The three day holidays were going to be utilized completely. Jay and Tushar B had already done the ride till Shreewardhan, they knew the route hence we went for it. In all 7 peoples came for this ride. The plan was, Day1 : Mandawa to Diveagar, Day 2: Diveagar-Harihareshwar-Diveagar, Day 3: Diveagar-Dighi-Mandawa. Day 1 and Day 2 were covered, but due to injury to Chetan we called off day 3 and came back using a ST bus. It was a nice ride, i am sure everybody must have enjoyed it. Took some pictures on this ride, all have gone through some color correction please bear with it.

We have planned a ride to Shreewardhan on 15-16-17 March 2014, to check how long can we ride with not much stress we decided a ride to Gateway of India from Thane and back. This way we could be sure that we could atleast do around 100 kms in a day. We started at around 7 am and ended it around 4 pm.
Jay and Manoj came along this ride...it was a nice cool morning....and the day remained cool....very unusual for March.
Took some pics, and all were PPed, please bear with it.

Shailesh Wedding and Khidrapur, Kopeshwar temple
Thanks to Shailesh, if his wedding would not have been @ Chikhodi, we would not have been able to visit Khidrapur, Kopeshwar temple. Many do not know about this gem located @ Khidrapur. It was built some 1400 years ago, we had just an hour to spend there, our bad. Next time some more time needs to be spend there.
To reach Khidrapur, one has to reach Kurungwad, Kurungwad is easily approachable from Kolhapur or Miraj. ST buses ply regularly too Kurungwad. From Kurungwad one has to reach Khidrapur directly of via Takali.
Took some pictures on, do bear with the PP.

Khidrapur, Kopeshwar Mandir
One of the marvels of history, Kopeshwar Temple @ Khidrapur.
How to reach Khidrapur:
From Kolhapur, Sangli or Miraj ST buses ply to Kurungwad. From Kurungwad one can get a direct ST bus to Khidrapur or one has to reach Takali village and from Takali village using local transport reach Khidrapur.
Do contact Joshi (guide) @ 09423213728...cause without a guide u'll be lost in this amazing place.
Also do try to visit this place in the morning time, so that you could spend much more time here.
One has to feel it.....just feel it.
Tried some b/w on the pictures, do check them out.
Malshej to Pargaon Fata
This was a exploratory trek/hike/outing. We had seen a board @ Malshej Ghat, which said Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj had used this route. On a little more research the information that we found was, this route took Maharaj to Konkan from Shivneri. After looting Surat, he came to Shivneri and from there as the Mughals thought that he would march to pune, but as always he made a fool of them and came down to Konkan from this route. After climbing this route one will reach Taleraann village, and from here one can do a cross country trek to Nimgiri. And from Nimgiri, reach Naneghat and come down to Vaishakhare, that would be a lovely trek for sure. This time nobody came along and after talking to the locals, it turned out to be an easy outing, hence decided to go alone. Took some pics on the way, do have a look. All pics have gone through some PP, please bear with it.

The plan was simple, reach Solapur, hire a car visit Naldurg fort and then if time permits have a look around Solapur. Time we had aplenty, Naldurg was done in some 4 hours. We missed the guide here :(...our bad. From Naldurg went to Tuljapur and from there back to Solapur. Nice fun trip it was. Thanks Sushant and Sanket for making this happen. We did click some pics, please bear withe over PP.

After 3 years from the plan was made, we finally did go to Kulang Fort. The plan was simple, reach Kasara by taking the last train, from Kasara reach Ghoti and from Ghoti reach Ambewadi. But we had to alter our plan a bit as the first bus from Ghoti to Ambewadi was at 7:45 am. We took the first bus that plys to poona from Igatpuri and got down at Vasali Fhata. From Vasali Fhata took a private jeep to Ambewadi. Since the last bus from Ambewadi to Ghoti was at 4:00 pm we had no option to explore on ourselves, hence took a guide. Somehow we managed to reach the village before the last bus had come. Everybody from the group co-operated and made this possible. The guide Kailash (07304740574) was amazing for the success of this trek. Clicked some pics, do have a look. All pics have gone through some kind of color correction, please bear with that.

Visapur Fort
Bhupya and Hrishi proposed to go to Visapur, but both of the two could not make it to this trek. The route was Thane-Lonawala-Malawali-Patan-Visapur-Bhaja Village-Malawali-Lonawala-Panvel-Thane. Due to the thick vegetation we lost our way (as always) for the first part of the trek. Visapur is an huge fort, we were not able to cover the entire fort but what we sawed it was enough to convince us about its vastness. The fortification is still very nice, most of the water tanks are not in good shape, but it must have been an important place in its prime time and many people would have taken shelter on it. It was a nice trek, would like to revisit this place to see what we might have missed. Took some pics, please do have a look. All pics have gone through some color correction, please bear with it.

Peb killa aka Vikatgad
Gandhi Jayanti....chutti time.....perfect time to do a one day trek.....even after the last minute decision 7 peoples went on this trek.....it is the start of October...the sun did remind us of that for a little time, but overall it was a pleasant trek. The route was Neral - Dilkap College gate - Mamdapurwadi - Peb Fort - Ashram on fort - Matheran Railway Track - Neral. I did this trek some 10 years back, some things have changed in these 10 years. Changed for good....that was the nice thing. Took some pics do check them out. All pics have gone through some color correction please bear with that.

Patta aka Vishramgad
Patta fort aka Vishramgad, to reach it one has to reach Kasara. From kasara take a jeep or bus plying to Sinnar and get down at Takedh village. From Takedh village take another jeep to Pattewadi village. Reaching this place is not such a big problem as returning is, but if you have time in hand then its not a problem at all. The entire route is very scenic, hence even if you walk, it should be just fine to come back from Pattewadi. Takedh is around 15 kms from Pattewadi. We took the long walk back, luckily got a lift till Dhamangaon which lies on the highway. From there got a lift from a truch, got down at Ghoti toll naka and from there another lift to Kasara on the highway side. Only three peoples went on this trek, Shailesh and Mayuresh being the other two. Took some pics, please have a look. All pictures have gone through some color correction, please bear with it.

Bhivpuri Road-Garbut Point-Neral
Initially the trek was decided for Bhivpuri-Garbut Point-Peb Fort-Neral, but the heat got the better of us. We changed the plan and did not cover Peb Fort on this one. The weather was pretty much like October heat with lots of humidity. Still it was a typical September, it did not rain at all till the evening, pretty much a dry affair. The route was a prominent one, get down at Bhivpuri Road station, move towards east side and start walking towards Karjat side on the highway, take the first right turn near the school, that path will lead you first to the Dhom dam and then circle around the dam water and the reach SagachiWadi village, take a right from a big well and climb the mountain then you should reach the plateau near Garbut point, final easy climb should take you to the top (Garbut Point).

Four of us went on this trek. The route was, Thane --> Igatpuri --> Nirgudpada --> Harihar Fort --> Nirgudpada --> Igatpuri --> Thane. This was a trek where we had to be very careful about the time, as the last bus from the base village was at 3:30 pm. Everybody in the group cooperated and we made it back in time. Mahesh came with his wife and 4 of his friends, he met us directly at the base village. Unofficially the group size was 10. A lot was read on blogs about the steps of Harihar fort, but actually they were not that difficult to climb. It was a pleasant trek, everybody enjoyed it. Do check out the pics, all have gone through some kind of color correction (please bear with it).

It was late call or else more would have surely joined in...sorry for that. Myself and Bhupya went on this little hike. One has to reach Wagle Depot (Bus no 6 from Thane Station (W) will take you there). From there walk a little, enquire with people, they will show you the path. It takes around 1 hour to reach the top and around 35 minutes to get down. The weather was beautiful, clouds were hanging on the two peaks. As the day progressed, clouds moved away. Took some pics, have a look. All pics have gone through some color correction, please bear with it.

Chanderi Fort
Majjak majjak mein bahot log aa gaye trek pe.....thanks to Pradeep Suryawanshi, we had a big group. To reach Chanderi one has to come to Vangani, from Vangani take a bus plying towards Badlapur and get down at Chanderi Dabba stop, from here a walk of 3 kms takes us to Chincholi village (base village), if you do not know the route to the caves @ Chanderi fort, please take the help of the villagers at base. Do pay them, the route is a little bit tricky and the climb is also very nice. We were in all 14 peoples.....there were some new comers but they adjusted very well. Took some pics on this trek, please have a look. All pics have been through some kind of color rectification, please bear with it.

Talegaon Hill
Route:- Thane-Igatpuri-Talegaon Village-Talegaon Dam......
Talegaon hill is near Igatpuri. Its around 3-4 kms from Igatpuri railway station. It was a pleasant walk to the village and then a small climb after the Talegaon dam will take us up this hill. The view from the top is very pretty. With clouds coming in, it was amazing. It was a very nice one day outing. On our way back we visited the Vipasanna Center as well.

10 peoples camed on this trek....wow.....it was going to be fun. The climate at the base was as expected, nice and cool with sun peeking out sometimes......on the top it was totally different, it was covered in clouds from start to finish. Once we were on the top of Tolar Khind rock patch, it was a long walk in the clouds. Baring the last walk (from Aishwarya Hotel to the highway) everything went as it was planned. Offcourse clicked some pics, do check them out. All pics have gone through some kind of color correction, please bear with it.

The season opener, Sindolya can be done easily only at this time of the year......hence planned it. And we finally completed this trek, last time we could not make it to the top. This time with Tushar's help we reached the top.
9 peoples came on this trek ( apun, Shailesh, Manoj, Yogesh, Komal, Seema, Sanjay, Teenu and Neha ). Most of them were coming for the first time, they had a bit of tough time cause this in no ways if not an easy trek. The last patch is very thrilling, fhew...dhamaal dhamaal.....If the ST buses would have come on time we would have got back home a bit early....aso....alls well that ends well.

Wow.....solo ride up the Old Pune road from Khopoli onwards....fhew.....awesome...missed our regular cycling group on this one. It took around 5 hours to reach Pimpri from Khopoli. Shailesh bought a Btwin Riverside 1 cycle from Decathlon, i was very exited to take it to his house. It was an amazing experience, hats off to those who climb ghats regularly. That ghat will surely make u a humble person, just do it guys. Would love to do it again, not now, after the rains......took some pics, do check them out.

Thanks to the Birje family, this one was planned. Matheran has to be "the" location to travel to anytime of the year. We started our walk @ 1:00 am and ended it @ 7:00 pm...fhew...that was indeed a long and satisfying walk. We were not able to complete our planned tasks, but then only 2 major points were left for us to explore....next time we will do it.

Only thing we did not do was to explore the fort....may be next time we will do it, cause there is a lot to be seen on this fort. It covers a huge area, as can be seen in the picture clicked inside the temple.

This plan came up @ the 11th hour. Not many came on this trek. myself, bhupya, frank, ravya and kamlesh came on this trek. To reach Dhodap, one has to reach Nashik Rd, from Nashik Rd via ST reach Nashik CBS, from Nashin CBS reach Vadaliboi fata, from Vadaliboi fata reach Dhodhambe and then finally walk to Hatti village. From Hatti village it takes around 2.5 hrs to reach the top of the fort. Dont be late to get back, cause transportation becomes a problem. If the travelling is not taken into consideration its a cute trek. Do check out some of the pics taken on this trek. All pictures have gone through some color correction, please bear with it.

Day 1, route was Thane-Panvel-Vadkhal-Alibaug-Borli (around 130 kms covered); Day 2, route was Borli-Alibaug-Mandwa-Gateway Of India-CST via train back (around 60 kms covered). Lovely experience it was, enjoyed it. Same cant be said about our bums :D
Original plan was to go upto Murud and come back, but could not make it till Murud. It was dark when we reached Borli, had to stop there.

Ankai Tankai was a last minute plan because the trek to Rajgad Torna was postponed. I read about this place in Nashikchi Durgbharmanti, beautifully described it was. Also the travelling wasn't complicated, hence decided on this venue. One has to reach Manmad and from Manmad take a passenger to Ankai station or Ankai Killa station, from there an easy walk will take you to the fort. Ankai fort is very nicely maintained, most of the construction is still there, in a lot better condition than other forts. Also the Jain caves at the base are an marvel, one has to see them to experience it. If possible do go to this place. I, Shailesh and Pradeep came on this trek. If these two had not showed up, it would have been difficult to go on this trek.
We took some pictures, do check them out. All pictures have gone through some color correction, please bear with it.

This was a trek arranged mostly for bakras (new comers), but the so called pros also enjoyed it.
Karnala is a wonderful destination for a one day trek/hike. Now it is very nicely maintained, the best part is the auditing of Plastic bags, bottles etc that a group carries on the fort. If any thing is missing on the way back, they are penalised. This thing should be implemented on all the forts/Sancutaries/National Parks/Gardens all over India :). Also the water tanks have been cleaned, they were never touched for so many years now. Things are changing and changing for good. Karnala has to be the bext eg for that. Rained did not show up, it was a bit hot on the way to the top. But once on the top, a nice breeze and the play of clouds was very entertaining. Took some pics on this trek, do check them out.

This time the trekking season has started a bit late....we missed our June date with HG....July brings a lot of rain and clouds and HG was no exception to this. We were engulfed in clouds for the 2 days on top of HG. Anywhere you look u see white wall. Myself, Ravindra Kocharekar and Amol Mahajan went on this trek. Chota group sukhi group.

Always wanted to go here, last week saw it again on Bhatkanti.
Strange no one turned up for this one...he he he....must have sent the email a lot late.
The route aint difficult, reach Kalyan, take any bus going to Alephata, from Alephata take another bus going towards Parner and get down @ Devi Bhoyari Fata, the conductor will help u with this one. From Bhoyari fata take another transport to Nighoj village. From here the potholes are another 3 kms away. Another route will be to take a direct bus to Nighoj village.

Chavand Kukdeshwar
It was originally a one night one day trek, but due to some miscalculations it turned out to be a one night one day one night trek. The travelling time was much more then what we had anticipated. We wanted to get down the Naneghat but just could not do it. We can always try that next time. Chavand is a beautiful fort with some amazing views in Shayadris, also it have several tanks on its top. Kukdeshwar is another place that one should not miss, this temple in its old days must have been a master piece. Once the restoration is completed it might get back to its old beauty. The trek was wonderful, and we did click some pictures. Do check them out. All pictures have gone through some sort of color correction, just bear with it.

Malang Gad
6 peoples made it on this trek. By no means this was an easy trek. Some patches are very very thrilling, enjoyed it a lot. One has to board a bus going to Haji Malang from Kalyan St Depot. From Kalayan St Depot the bus takes us to the base in 40 minutes. From the base to the Haji Malang dargah it takes around 1 hour 45 minutes. Just before the Dargah there is a small exit on the right, this will take us to the top of Malang Gad. It takes another 45 minutes to reach the top (Ballekilla).

October has to be the best time to get out and have some fun.....this time we decided Manikgad. From Thane reach Panvel, from Panvel board the ST bus to Vashivali. Get down at the last stop and walk towards Manikgad. From Karjat side, reach Chowk...from Chowk reach Lohap, from Lohap reach Vashivali and then the walk to the top. It takes around 3 hours to reach the top. No water is available as such on the top, but one can find water on the way. Myself, Bhupya, Shaitan, Shailesh, Jay and Kapila wahini came on this trek. Clicked some pics, do have a look. All pictures have gone through some sort of color correction.

Chavand Fort.....its a lovely fort to see. October is not the perfect time to visit this place cause the grass has fully grown and its nearly impossible to look around the fort. Next time we'll plan little better. To reach Chavand, first reach Junnar. From Junnar take the ST to Ghatghar and get down @ Chavand bus stop. From Chavand bus stop, the Chavand village is around 1.5 kms. From the village its takes around 45 minutes (max) to reach the top. Getting down can be much faster :). From Chavand we boarded another vehicle to Ghatghar, luckily he dropped us near Naneghat. Got back by descending Naneghat. The travelling time is a lot if one is travelling from Kalyan.

Sindolya (incomplete)
Sindolya, also known as Sindhubai cha dongar by the locals is a wonderful hike for a days outing. The route at the very end gets a lot slippery and due to an open traverse we did not attempt to complete this one, but will surely do it in the month of May. We started from Kalyan by taking a bus going to Nagar. Got down @ Pargaon phata. From here walked to "Bagadwadi" village from where there are trails to this mountain. We had a very good guide, Tushar Bhoir. He guided us very nicely but towards the end we could not go for the final climb....ne ways the view was amazing all around us......do check out the pics (all of them have undergone some kind of color correction, please bear with that).

Will Harris runs White Oak Pastures, the Georgia farm his family has operated since 1866 (five generations). Under his leadership, the farm has returned to an environmentally sustainable and high animal welfare farming system.
After receiving an animal science degree from UGA, Harris returned home and began to implement a number of sustainable farming practices. Today his cattle, sheep, hogs, goats and poultry are rotated through White Oak Pastures in the Serengeti Plains rotational grazing model. The farm now utilizes solar panels and its beef, goat and lamb are grass-fed. White Oaks also holds the distinction of being the only farm in the U.S. to have both a red meat plant and poultry processing that have been approved by the USDA.

Frazey Ford On 'World Cafe: Next'
Set List
- "Firecracker"
- "Hey Little Mama"
Canadian singer-songwriter Frazey Ford, best known as lead vocalist for the alternative country trio The Be Good Tanyas, has gone solo. After 10 years with the Tanyas, she recorded her own album, Obadiah, last summer in Vancouver, and the final product is a collection of personal songs Ford says were "moved by motherhood, earth and land." The new tunes still live in the realm of country music, but are delivered with a soul singer's punch.
Obadiah showcases smart and emotional songwriting that's bolstered by a rich bed of mostly acoustic instrumentation — tactful guitarwork is provided by fellow Tanya Trish Klein — but what makes this music stand out is Ford's incomparable voice. Hear "Firecracker" and "Hey Little Mama" on this week's World Cafe: Next.

Favorite Skinnytaste recipe?
Comments (9)
petite turkey meatloaves-i do usuallly split them up even further into muffins because i feel like the sauce is the star and wasnt as happy with them when they were in four loaves and i didnt get sauce/glaze in every bite.
The asian glazed drumsticks are delicious. The jamaican stew chicken is delicious as well. I've made a bunch of recipes, but they are slipping my mind for some reason.
want to try the pumpkin pie dip someone posted the other day..
i've also made many, but one that stands out that i've repeated is the Chicken Divan - it's EXCELLENT! I use chopped cooked chicken that I usually have in the freezer and make my own seasoned breadcrumbs by throwing some frozen bread in my mini chopper and adding S&P and some herbs.
I've also made her Spinach Artichoke dip and Layered Taco dip (not sure if that's the actual name) a time or two - thumbs up!!
Oh - the PB Banana muffins that call for Better'n PB are AWESOME!
Pretty much anything I've ever made from skinny taste is a winner!

The only thing that's getting baked into the markets now is that secret ingredient that few if any Republican's want to give Obama credit for: CASH! Hundreds of billions of dollars in cash profits that American corporations are sitting on and wouldn't be were it not for his policies and billions more flowing into the market from those of us who survived the financial meltdown and have money in our pockets thanks to the reduction in the payroll tax and numerous other measures taken including but not limited to rescuing the banks, the auto industry and peripheral businesses that were past the brink of failure.

The national credit crunch could threaten the viability of
Florida's hurricane insurance backup fund and that could lead to
more home foreclosures, the state's insurance commissioner told a
Senate committee Thursday.
The panel's chairman said one alternative would be to raise
premiums for homeowner and other property coverage.
The problem lies with the Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund,
commonly called the "cat fund." It is having a hard time lining
up financing, Insurance Commissioner Kevin McCarty told the Senate
Ways & Means Committee on Thursday.
Many insurance companies so heavily depend on the fund that they
might be downgraded to the point home mortgages, which require
borrowers to buy adequate property insurance, could go into
default, McCarty said.

Also people need to think about this.
Crabtree, Aldon, Kap, we could extend Crabs or Kap this offseason, pickup Aldon's 5th yr option, and tag the one who doesn't sign an extension. I doubt Iupati gets $40-$45M from us. We need to lock up Boone soon, who I think will be a better player than Iupati. Also Staley deserves a raise. He has 0 guaranteed money left, they could either guarantee some years base salaries, or restructure and give him a signing bonus soon.
Future wise, we need to keep guys past 2014, Dorsey, Skuta, Wilhoite, Culliver, Hunter maybe, Miller(I hope soon).
I dont even want to think of what type of deal Reid will get in 2017 or 2018. I pray to the Lord that the NFL cap is close to $150M by then.
I said above a post or 2, Vernon and Willis need to be extended, I believe they will in the offseason, helps flexibility with the cap, and gives them straight up signing bonus.
Pending wise, I would think Boldin and Whitner are top priorities. Brown will get an offer, but likely bolts. Dawson is an easy re-sign, I would do a 2yr deal. Wilhoite I mentioned above, he would be a RFA after 2014, so I hope we do the same we did for Spillman, and lock up Wilhoite. And Spillman is another guy who deserves an extension. There are so many guys, but little cap room. 2015 an 2016 if when we have major cap room. $35M in 2015, and $80M in 2016 I believe. I may be off, check my site, It's all updated.

More than 100 people have been arrested in copycat looting and arson attacks that spread through several London boroughs last night in the wake of Saturday's Tottenham riots.
Trouble spread through parts of the north, south, east and centre of the capital, in Enfield, Waltham Forest, Islington, Brixton and Walthamstow, and around Oxford Circus.
At least nine police officers were injured, including three who were hit by a fast-moving vehicle at 12.45am as they tried to make arrests among looters in Chingford Mount, Waltham Forest. Another officer was reportedly speared by a scaffolding pole.

BOULDER, Colo. (AP) - As firefighters inch closer to fully containing the wildfire that has burned 10 square miles near Boulder, Colo., hundreds of residents have been allowed to return to their homes.
The fire destroyed at least 166 homes and some residents could see little more than ruins. One woman, who couldn't reach her home because the road was still blocked, examined it through a telescope instead and likened it to a nuclear disaster.
Investigators are still trying to determine what caused the blaze, and they aren't commenting on a Denver Post report that the blaze may have started in a fire pit.
The newspaper quoted an unidentified senior law enforcement official familiar with the investigation.
Firefighting operations are being scaled back and some crews are being relieved, but crews are still working to snuff out smoldering hot spots.

are MMO's dead or is just me?

In recent years I too have felt the decline and dissappointment from recent MMOs and the current ones I play. Part of it is that yah I am getting older and busier since I started teaching fitness classes along with my main job as an IT Manager while raising a family. The sense of community to me is fading away as I can remember during Wrath of the Lich King the raiding guild I was with I had a great time with. I even met three of them in person for the first time which was new for me to come face to face with people I only met off the internet.
As time went on those of us in that guild went our way from WoW or can no longer play at the level use to. For me MMO games can really only hold me if the community is strong. When I was living in Oklahoma I got hooked on Lord of the Rings Online before it's F2P model and that was purely because of the kinship. Once I moved to Japan though sadly I could no longer keep ties with them due to the sheer time difference and thus stopped playing after a few months. Since dedicating time for a MMO was limited to me now I have to rely on the mechanics of the game to keep me interested. Since then I have yet to really find one that really holds me and thus I see myself hoping from one MMO game to another.
Since my roots of SWG, WoW, LOTRO I have tried nearly all MMOs up to today and have yet to find one that I can really grasp to. I doubt I will ever stop trying as old habits die hard but will likely start ignoring new ones that don't have appeal for me.
Funny though that video gaming started with single player games then moved to multiplayer, then MMO. To only be slowly heading back to multiplayer (shooters mostly) and now diving back into single player games (Assassin's Creed series and Skyrim).
Anyone else going full circle?

The palace of the Nereids by janheinWatch
©2014-2016 janhein
In Greek mythology the Nereids are sea nymphs (female spirits of sea waters), the fifty daughters of Nereus and Doris, sisters to Nerites. They were distinct from the mermaid-like Sirens. They often accompany Poseidon, the god of the sea, and can be friendly and helpful to sailors fighting perilous storms. (Wikipedia)

November 22, 2011 7:00 PM
Republican candidates who want to replace President Barack Obama sparred in Washington Tuesday night in one of the few televised debates centered on foreign policy issues. The candidates gathered just a few blocks away from the White House - where they each hope to spend the next four years. Two former governors - Jon Huntsman of Utah and Mitt Romney of Massachusetts - clashed over Afghanistan.
First, Romney asked Hunstman, "Are you suggesting, governor that we just take all our troops out next week? What's your proposal?" "Did you hear what I just said? I said, 'We should draw down from 100,000.' We don't need 100,000 troops," said Hunstman. "We don't need 100,000 troops, many of whom can't even cross the wire [engage the enemy]."But the Heritage Foundation's Jim Carafano says global issues will change before any of these candidates can become president."The most important thing in the debate is listening less to say 'What would I do if I were president today' - which is irrelevant - to what kind of character do they have," said Carafano. "What kind of commander-in-chief they are going to be. Are they going to put what's right over what's easy."A current governor, Rick Perry of Texas, explained how he would handle Iran if elected president:"When you sanction the Iranian Central Bank, that will shut down that economy," said Perry. "At that particular time, they truly have to deal with the United States."But what about American allies in Europe that depend on Iranian oil?
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said, "We ought to have a massive, all sources energy program in the United States designed to once again create a surplus of energy here," said Gingrich. "So we could say to the Europeans, pretty cheerfully, that with all the various sources of oil we have in the United States we could literally replace the Iranian oil."
The Republican candidates criticized current U.S. foreign policy, even though opinion surveys show it is President Barack Obama's strength. "There's going to be a referendum on that on how well it's worked," said James Carafano. "I think what's important is people have to distinguish what that is and how what they want to do is different than that. And, I don't think I heard that yet from any of these candidates." In six weeks, the Republican candidates will face their toughest test yet. The Iowa caucuses are the first major event leading up to selection of the Republican presidential nominee.
Quotes from the debate:

She has also won numerous Associated Press TV, Radio, and Multimedia awards, as well as a Clarion for her TV coverage of The Syrian Medical Crisis, Haiti, The Boston Marathon Bombing, Presidential Politics, The Southern Economy, Google Glass & Other Wearables, and the 9/11 Anniversary.

Typical White behavior:
When Jeremy LaBrec pleaded guilty in early June to possessing and distributing sexually explicit images of Hoosier children under 4 years old, it concluded a nearly two-year, multi-jurisdictional investigation known as Operation Bulldog.
The cases prosecuted throughout the course of Bulldog marked a new low in child pornography the discovery of a group of nepiophiles, people sexually attracted to infants and toddlers, who recorded and shared videos and still images of group members physically raping and molesting children as young as 2 months old.
"I've prosecuted these cases for 20 years and we just never saw that before," said Assistant U.S. Attorney Steve DeBrota, who specializes in cutting-edge computer forensic response tactics, during a news conference announcing guilty pleas entered by nine people targeted through Operation Bulldog.
The principal offender and the most prolific contributor to the nepiophiles' file-sharing arrangement, David Bostic, a Bloomington, Ind., resident, who would abuse children entrusted to him for babysitting, received a 315-year sentence.
Bostic also served as the hub through which law enforcement was able to ferret out several other offenders engaged in what DeBrota termed "a directed, awful sexual fantasy" and "existentially bad."
"Internationally and nationally we have examples of offenders who were planning on having children for the purpose of having a class of victims," DeBrota said. "For example, one of the offenders of this group sent an ultrasound image of a child getting ready to be born that they were planning on victimizing after that."
That case was stopped before abuse could occur, as was another planned abuse in Europe, he added.
The ultrasound case, though, is part of a separate and ongoing investigation, so officials would share no further details.
"I applaud the work of these investigators and prosecutors, who, in this instance, were able to take a search warrant in Bloomington and use it to bring down a monstrous criminal organization that reached across the country and into at least a half dozen others," First Assistant U.S. Attorney Josh Minkler said when announcing the operation's successful conclusion.
All together, the Indiana-based prosecution extracted guilty pleas from nine people arrested around the U.S. Officials are pursuing additional prosecutions in the U.S. and abroad.
Indiana law enforcement, led by experts with the Indiana State Police and Purdue University along with DeBrota, are credited with developing the "fast, flexible and adaptive" forensic response model credited with capturing so many offenders in an exceptionally rapid and fluid process.
The response technique allowed investigators to accompany police issuing Bostic's search warrant and identify and review the contents of his computer in real time.
"In a matter of minutes we were able to find he was in connection with a group of people who were nepiophiles," DeBrota said. "In most other places in the U.S. that wouldn't have been possible.... Other places can take months and years for a forensic exam; (an investigator) wouldn't be able to view collection till much later."

that would be KQED in SF
I think they've done that for a while, it's a bit annoying...
Didn't they used to have Word for Word on at nine?
All that matters, radio wise, is This American Life.
Mid-afternoon today on NPR/KUOW, Marc Acito made a brilliant commentary on the desertion by Senator Craig's so-called friends. I've tried to run down either an iPod broadcast or the hard copy of it w/out luck. Any help out there?
You can also listen to all the BBC's services online all the time for free from their web site: news.bbc.co.uk
I love Just a Minute on Radio 4!
Bring back Fresh Air!
Fresh Air isn't on anymore? I don't know, I haven't listened to any NPR broadcast in over a year.
I love itunes too! And can I just say: reading and commenting on the slog has become my new favorite hobby! Does that make be a slog nerd? hehe. Sometimes the comments people make are even funnier than the stories! I heart slog! :) I also heart the Public Intern. AND I want Dan to run for President someday!
Yes. That is exactly what this country needs. Dan Savage for President.
Though, it would be pretty cool to have a fag on some bill. Word.
A few years ago the two NPR stations in the area, KPLU and KUOW, formed a consortium of sorts. With the cutbacks of funding from the federal government and the rising costs of programing, both stations agreed it was best not to duplicate broadcasts in the same market. So the early afternoon "Fresh Air" was eliminated on KUOW, but still lives on KPLU at 6:30 PM. "Marketplace" disappeared from KPLU at 6 PM but is still heard at KUOW at 6:30 PM.
Kinda makes sense not to duplicate, no?
I used to donate like $120 per year to KUOW, but I quit listening to it several years back (except for Sat nite "Swing Years"). I came to the conclusion that 24/7 micro-saturation-coverage of Iraq etc was bad for my mental outlook; I'm already well aware of how disastrous the world situation is and what a bunch of evil vampires Bush and his overlords are, but having it pounded at your ears non-stop just isn't healthy. Also at the time KUOW seriously pissed me off because for years they did not offer their online orginal-program downloads in Quicktime-compatible format (since remedied). Now I listen mostly to Canada's CBC Radio 2 on 92.1 FM and life is good. Virtually all the interesting NPR/PRI/etc shows are available on-demand or streamed online somewhere. I realize that there is a big funding problem looming for public radio, but I'm afraid that in the long run ongoing generational-shifts are going to prove it to be a baby-boomer-centric phenomenon.
Get an HD Radio, Dan. It's a digital format that KUOW's been broadcasting in for a couple of years. The quality can be quite good. KUOW gets a few "extra" digital only channels due to the format, and they broadcast BBC Radio 24 hours a day on 94.9-3 (HD 3). HD Radio tuners now cost as little as $100 (Radiosophy), and you can get modules for car radios or specially equipped car radios, too. (By posting this, I guarantee someone will follow up with all the political and financial issues about HD Radio. Forget all that. It's digital, it sounds good, and you get more programming choices.)
Everything is better in other towns.
Maybe I should be expanding my listening list to KUOW, but KIRO 710 still rules.
As for me I've been listening to Carlson and Schramm on KVI, 9-12, lately. Definitely something to think about...
-Douglas Tooley
Lincoln District, Tacoma
They have all their episodes as podcasts, too, so you don't even have to steer away from your precious itunes (which I also love).
KUOW's evening weekday programming has gone into the toilet over the past 2 years. Where in the hell is my money going?
@17 - Radiolab rules!
I don't know about "Weekday" reruns... but that other fixture, Ross Reynolds' "Conversation" came on again last night- a definite negative, to my ears. For low-fi listeners, the KUOW-clone at 91.7 runs "Fresh Air" and lots of national/int'l programming... enuff that they get a button on my car radio (w/ KPLU, KEXP, KBCS, KING, &, YES- I'M A 97 YO WHITE MALE). I'm still a little miffed that Tavis is gone- just because I don't get a bonbon from cornel west (& the rest of Tavis' regulars) on a daily basis anymore... bummer ^..^
KCRW, Santa Monica is the best public radio. Yeah ITunes!
Ross Reynolds borders on insulting! "Conversation" is one of the worst programs I've ver heard and I can't believe people enjoy that crap!!! I still like C89! Those kids are just as "progressive" as any NPR station.
NPR opposes any and all true local radio. NOW or Bill Moyers or someone did a story on it last week. So, fuck 'em. Any nonprofit that's willing to team up with Clear Channel to kill small radio stations deserves to go under.
WBEZ rules!
Satellite radio saved my life. Get it, get it, get it.

Hi folks,
of course my first post is a problem I can't resolve myself.
Since (days?) I can't view published pages using the permalink.
As a short example see http://deathrokk.com/?lang=de
You can see there's a test page in the menu.
If you click on it or visit http://deathrokk.com/test-page-dr-de/, you see, it doesn't find the page.
As I'm still configuring the site, I can't even say for how long it doesn't work. I guess I would have recognized this some time ago, so it must be new.
To make it really complicated, it's a mu site with domain mapping and polylang.
The first thing that didn't work was previewing a page from a mapped domain. Created infinite redirects, at least firefox said it did.
Other post types were still ok.
I tried a lot of things, that weren't specifically meant as a solution for my problem, even installed a plugin that should fix permalinks but nothing brought it up again.
Atm the status is:
main domain:
-view posts works
-view pages works only with default permalink settings
second domain (mapped via domain mapping plugin), different blog
-view posts works only with default permalink settings (else redirects to main page)
-view custom post type "album" works only with default permalink settings (else firefox redirect error)
-view custom type "song" works perfect
-view page only with default permalink settings (else redirects to main page)
I have tried disabling most of the plugins. What I didn't deactivate is Polylang and WordPress MU Domain Mapping. I don't know if this can be done reversibly/if it makes sense at all, because I need them both.
This is my .htaccess
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /wordpress/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]
# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $1wp-admin/ [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule ^[_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $1 [L]
RewriteRule ^[_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/(.*\.php)$ $1 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
# END WordPress
I have a lot of rewrite rules in the wp_options table, could post them, too.
Everything looks pretty messed up, changing settings destroys as much as it repairs, if I change eg. "primary domain" of the second blog, something different than before works. Or changing permalinks back to default makes it better. Activating the "permalink and canonical redirect fix..." plugin changes something... that all does look close to the problem but bad as a solution.
So, what do I try next?
Maybe step by step fix the rewrite rules in the db by hand (if wrong at all)?

The young Otago shepherd also takes Dusty, another member of
his eight-strong working dog team. Both dogs are heading
Mr Pickles (23), who is in his second season of ''having a
go'' at dog trialling, works at Waipori Station, a 12,000ha
Landcorp Farming-owned property on the shores of Lake
From Duntroon, in North Otago, he left school at the end of
year 11 at St Kevin's College and worked as a mechanic before
becoming a shepherd, drawn by the attraction of being outside
and seeing some different country.
Having a team of dogs also appealed and his interest in dogs
began initially with pig dogs for pig hunting.
Mr Pickles worked on two North Otago properties - Otekaieke
Station and Dome Hills - before heading south in September
last year.
While describing his dog trialling performances as ''a bit
rough'', Mr Pickles enjoyed the challenge of the sport and
meeting others. His aim for the future was to ''just get
better at it''.
He believed the key to being a successful triallist was
training your dogs well and while he did not get much time
over summer, he spent a fair bit of time doing it over the
rest of the year.
The dog trialling season is in full swing in the South, with
the Otago centre championships being held at Heriot on March
27 and 28 and the North Otago centre championships at
Patearoa on April 28 and 29.
This year's South Island and New Zealand championships will
be held in South Canterbury in May.

Overview of Windows Firewall Deployment
Updated: June 8, 2005
Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Server 2003 with SP1, Windows Server 2003 with SP2
By default, Windows Firewall is turned off (disabled) in Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 1 (SP1). In addition, when Windows Firewall is turned on, all unsolicited incoming Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) and Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) traffic that uses UDP or TCP is blocked. Therefore, to deploy Windows Firewall you must turn on (enable) Windows Firewall and configure Windows Firewall settings so that unsolicited incoming traffic is allowed to reach the programs and services that are acting as servers, listeners, or peers.
The Security Configuration Wizard (SCW) is the recommended tool for deploying Windows Firewall in small, medium, and large organizations. SCW is an optional component that must be installed through Add or Remove Programs in Control Panel. SCW guides you through the process of creating a security policy, based on the roles performed by a given server. Once a policy is created, it can be edited or applied to one or more similarly configured servers. For more information, see Configuring Windows Firewall with SCW on the Microsoft Web site (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=48116).
In addition to SCW, there are several other deployment tools that are suitable for small-scale and large-scale deployments of Windows Firewall.
Small-Scale Deployments
If you are deploying Windows Firewall to a small number of servers, you can use Windows Firewall in Control Panel to turn on Windows Firewall and configure Windows Firewall settings on a server-by-server basis. This deployment method is not efficient if you are deploying more than a few servers, and can result in inconsistencies among your server configurations. Therefore, this deployment method is recommended only for small organizations or for servers that require special configuration settings. For more information about deploying Windows Firewall by using Windows Firewall in Control Panel, see the Step-by-Step Guide for Using Windows Firewall.
Large-Scale Deployments
If you are deploying Windows Firewall to a large number of servers, you can use one of the following tools to automate the startup and configuration of Windows Firewall.
Windows Firewall Group Policy Settings
Windows Server 2003 with SP1 includes several new Group Policy settings that allow you to configure Windows Firewall using domain-based or local Group Policy. Using the Windows Firewall Group Policy settings is the recommended method for deploying Windows Firewall in organizations that use Active Directory. For more information about deploying Windows Firewall with Group Policy, see Deploying Windows Firewall with Group Policy.
Unattended Installation Answer File
Windows Server 2003 with SP1 includes several new answer file entries that allow you to enable or disable Windows Firewall and configure Windows Firewall settings. This deployment solution is recommended if your organization does not use Active Directory or Group Policy and you are rolling out slipstream installations of Windows Server 2003. For more information about using an answer file to deploy Windows Firewall, see Deploying Windows Firewall During an Unattended Installation.
Netfw.inf Information File
Windows Server 2003 with SP1 includes a Netfw.inf file that you can use to configure Windows Firewall settings while you are installing SP1 or while you are performing a slipstream installation of Windows Server 2003 with SP1. The Netfw.inf file is primarily used by original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in a manufacturing environment, but it can also be used in a corporate environment during a large-scale rollout. For more information, see Deploying Windows Firewall with a Netfw.inf File.
