There's a relatively new Mexican Restaurant on Route 1 North, just after you pass Open Road Honda, Around the 514 exits.
What a pleasant surprise! The food was wonderful. All the food is made to order, and it was fresh and plentiful. The service was quick and friendly. Everything was just so tasty.
The owner can tell you which options are vegetarian. Delicious rice and beans.
The place itself is well-lit and clean. The decor, of course, is Mexican
Our Mexican food experience had been limited to Baha Fresh and some other chains. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but this was great. We've been there a few times already, and we'll keep going back.
For you long-time residents, it's where Boccieri's Nursery used to be.

Chuck Blazer, secretary general of Concacaf since 1990, is leaving his post at the end of the year, seven months after he went public with bribery
accusations against his then-boss at Concacaf, Jack Warner, and Mohamed bin Hammam, head of the Asian Football
Confederation, that rocked FIFA.
"I've been running a governing body long enough. We've been through a little bit of a stagnation period," the 66-year-old Blazer said Thursday in a telephone interview with AP. "I want to do something entrepreneurial. It was the right time. I wanted to give them notice to let them start to look for somebody."
Blazer's accusations about a cash-for-votes meeting in the Caribbean led to the decision of Warner to quit soccer and bin Hammam to quit his FIFA presidential aspirations and be banned by FIFA for life. Warner's successor, acting Concacaf president Lisle Austin, tried to fire Blazer but was suspended by the Concacaf executive committee for doing so and then was suspended by FIFA from all soccer activities for taking his dispute with Concacaf to a Bahamian court.
Blazer is credited with turning Concacaf from an organization with revenues of $140,000 to $40 million. His business and technology savvy made him an influential figure in FIFA circles. He will retain his post on the FIFA executive committee, at least until current term expires in mid-2013.
The New Yorker would not comment on the possibility that he could join one of the groups bidding for MLS's 20th team.

Guess I can get away with re-posting Friday's pregame feature.
So, here ya go. In a world of wrestling gone mad -- no doubt Tuscano will be sporting his wrestling tie tonight -- I was able to squeeze in a hoops game to cover, left over from Friday's whiteout.
One housekeeping matter: I wrote in today's notebook that Carmichaels senior Morgan Berardi is averaging more than 20 points per game. That's incorrect. She has 329 points in 18 games for an average of 18.3 per game.
Also, kids, don't write like this: Drazich had 15 points and Carlisle (10 points) was the only Eagles player in double figures, a nod to the anybody-scores mantra adopted by Avella. Try WERE the only PLAYERS in double figures. Geesh. Way to go, Mackey. Anyway ...
Last meeting: Trojans earned a 51-49 (OT) victory at Brownsville on Dec. 20, 2012. Tanner Huffman was held to 12 points, though eight came after halftime. Brian Fisher led the way with 18 points, three assists and nine rebounds.
Trojans shot 44 percent from the field (20 of 45) and five of 15 from three-point range. They committed 20 turnovers. Brownsville had a 45-37 lead, but California put together a 10-0 run to pull ahead, 47-45, before Mike Murdock made two three throws to send it into overtime.
Coaches: Brownsville is coached by Brian Brashear; California is led by Phil Pergola, he of 43 seasons and 576 wins.
Last time out: Huffman had 28 points and Fisher 17 during last night's 85-76 win over Bentworth. Dmitri Clements added 14 and Austin Wingo 13 in a game that would surely make every defensive-minded high school basketball game in America twitch.
Tre Durkin hit a running, underhand shot in the lane with one second left last night to beat Charleroi, 54-53. The Falcons trailed, 36-28, entering the fourth but used a 19-3 run to pull in front. Mapstone had 14 points. Christian Floyd 11 points and 11 boards.
About the Falcons: Brownsville has been streaky this season. The Falcons won their first five before the loss to California ignited a four-game losing streak. They're currently on an eight-game winning streak.
Like the Trojans, Brownsville lost in the first round of the WPIAL playoffs last year -- California to Shady Side Academy (59-38), Brownsville to Wilkinsburg (73-53).
About California: Huffman and Fisher are good. Really good. Here's a link to a story about them I did two weeks ago. Huffman is averaging 23.8 points, 5.4 assists, 4.8 rebounds and 4.2 steals per game. Fisher is at 17.9 points, three assists and 8.8 rebounds per game.
Austin Wingo is contributing 6.8 points, 5.6 rebounds and two steals per game; Evan Patterson, like Huffman and Fisher a senior, is at 6.5 points and 2.1 blocks per game; and Dmitri Clements is helping out with 5.5 points, 4.0 assists and 3.6 steals per game.
Analysis: California would like to have this game. Brownsville needs this game. Lose here, and the Falcons are all but eliminated from the Section 5-AA title race, with two losses to California and one to Charleroi.
Brownsville won't beat the Trojans with their guard play, but they could have advantage with depth; Cole and Ryan Novotney, Murdock, Durkin, Jake Bevard and Floyd are all contributors. Should be telling who has the better bench.
Should be a fast game, too. Trojans are averaging 70.9 points per game, tops in Class AA. Brownsville ranks sixth at 66.0 ppg. Don't expect a 41-36 score. (Shoot, California hasn't been under 50 all year.)
Gonna take the Trojans here. There's only one home game left for Huffman, Fisher and Patterson after this -- Beth-Center on Feb. 5 -- and I doubt they're going to allow a letdown to happen here.
See you out there.

Bugging Hitler's Soldiers on Secrets
of the Dead
Airs Wednesday, May 1st at 9:00pm on WTVP-HD 47.1.
Spied upon by MI19 in a bugging operation of unprecedented scale and cunning,
4,000 German POW's revealed their inner thoughts about the Third Reich and let slip military
secrets that helped the Allies win WWII. Based on groundbreaking research conducted by a German
historian, Secrets of the Dead: Bugging Hitler's Soldiers
tells the story of how those conversations were recorded and how they can now reveal, in more
shocking detail than ever before, the hearts and minds of the German fighter. The film airs
Wednesday, May 1 from 9-10 p.m. on WTVP-HD 47.1.
In total, more than 100,000 hours of these secret recordings were made. Only now have
they all been declassified, researched and cross referenced. They represent a startling new body of
evidence with which to revisit events of the war and they show the political divisions between those
top generals who supported the Nazi ideology and those that did not. They also demonstrate the
complicity of the rank-and-file soldiers in taking part in Nazi war crimes. Now, 60 years later the
chilling and totally uncensored thoughts of the Nazi elite will be heard. The documentary includes
intense, full-dialogue dramatic reconstructions that use the verbatim transcripts of these bugged
conversations to reveal the dark heart of the Nazi regime as never before. Hearing these shocking
conversations will be like taking a time machine back into psyche of Hitler's Germany.
For further information contact Linda Miller, WTVP Vice President of

Patriots have their December game faces on. A Week 14 NFL quiz
The Houston Texans and Atlanta Falcons may have spent much of this NFL season thinking it was "their year," but the 11-2 records they've posted suddenly don't seem so impressive. Not after the Carolina Panthers knocked off Atlanta Sunday, 30-20, and the New England Patriots crushed Houston Monday night, 42-14. Since 2010, the Patriots (10-3) are now 21-0 in games played in the second half of the season and looking increasingly Super Bowl ready. To test your knowledge of Week 14 developments, take this 14-question quiz.
Elise Amendola/AP
Question 1 of 14
1. With 42 more points in Monday night's obliteration of the Texans, the Patriots remain the highest scoring team in the league, averaging 36.3 points per game. That's a shade under their 36.8 pace in 2007 the season. But it still can't match the all-time record of 38.8 points per game posted by what team?
Miami Dolphins
Dallas Cowboys
Cleveland Browns
Los Angeles Rams

Howdy, Stranger!
It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
2013 and Earlier - Mazda3 Prices Paid and Buying Experience
I noticed the "woodstock" in your user name and wondered if it Woodtock, GA...I'm a Cherokee County native, born and raised, I live up in the northwest corner of the county in Waleska, several miles beyond Reinhardt College. I moved away for about 7 years, if you consider Vinings as "moving away"! =)
I knew for certain that you had to live in Cherokee (or Cobb) based on the 6% sales tax rate. We're the only two counties north of Atlanta that aren't 7%...lucky us!
I took a look at the 2010 Mazda3 5-door inventory in the Atlanta area and it looks like this car is at Jim Ellis in Marietta....correct? There are only five 2010 5-door Grand Touring 6MT models in the state. Two of them are IDENTICAL- Velocity Red MIca, Bose/Moonroof Pkg, Technology Pkg- sticker price of $25,485. One is at Jim Ellis in Marietta and the other is at Moss Robertson Cadillac-Mazda in Gainesville. You might want to send them and email for a quote just to see what they might offer...if they go lower, you could either buy from them or get Jim Ellis to match it...just thought I'd mention that.
The Velocity Red looks awesome with the black grille and trim on the front- UGA colors! I have a Titanium Gray 2006 Mazda3 s 5-door with Black & Red checked cloth interior. I've always called it my UGA interior. =) Back in 12/05 when I was shopping for my Mazda, it wasn't easy tracking down one with the right colors/options/transmission and when you did, dealers weren't willing to discount them very much! I ended up going to Knoxville, TN to buy mine!
Let me double check the current incentives and a few other things and I'll get back to you very shortly.....2015.5 Volvo S60 T6 Drive-E Platinum, 2012 Mazda CX-9 GT
The Dealer Cost on the car is $23,587 minus $1500 Dealer Cash for a total of $22,087. Here's how I arrived at that figure-
Base Vehicle- $20,734 (same as invoice price)
Dealer Holdback- (332) (% the MSRP that they get from Mazda)
Options - $2,228 (invoice pricing)
Regional Ad Fees- $207 (from TrueCar.com)
Destination- $750
Dealer Cash- (1,500)
Adjusted Total- $22,587
So they're selling it at $22,485, which is $398 over true cost plus their $399 fee which means they're making $797 on the deal at $24,300 OTD! It's a fair deal as it stands, IMO. There may still be another $200 or so in wiggle room, if you're up for a little haggling...can't hurt!
Mazda also has a special low-APR financing incentive on the 2010 valid thru 1/31/11. It is 0.0% APR for up to 60-months PLUS $750 Customer Cash packaged with it. So your $22,485 could end up being only $21,735! To the best of my knowledge, you can use both the $1500 Dealer Cash incentive AND the 0% APR with Bonus Cash.
Getting the 0% APR deal and $750 Customer Cash requires you to use Mazda's "captive" lender. And this offer is only valid for "well qualified" buyers. With the $750 applied to the total, the payments would only be $392 for 60-months and that's before any down payment! If you put $2500 down, the payment would drop down to $350.
By the way, don't worry about the Velocity Red being a "young" color for your age! I've been seriously thinking about buying a new 5-door s Sport for months and I have my heart SET on one color- Celestial Blue! That's the 'electric blue' that's the polar opposite of 'subtle'!!! Not a color folks expect a 36-year old accountant to choose, but I love it!
But I'm leaning toward a 2010 Mazda6 i Touring Plus 4-door now instead of another Mazda3 5-door. If I get the MZ6, it willl be Kona Blue with Black cloth interior!2015.5 Volvo S60 T6 Drive-E Platinum, 2012 Mazda CX-9 GT
Now my other decision is a new '10 the Speed3 w/Tech package that is discounted for OTD of 23616.-Good deal but do I really need the temptation of getting a "super speeder" ticket?
Tough decisions!
Beside the 'Super Speeder' issue-
Fuel economy drops by 2mpg city and 3mpg highway
18/25mpg vs. 20/28mpg
PREMIUM FUEL is required on the MAZDASPEED3
Here are conservative estimates at the additional operating costs of the SPEED3...
Extra costs over 5yrs/75k miles-
Fuel- $2450
Insurance- $1700
Maintenance- 575
Repairs- $880
FEATURES you would lose if you went with the SPEED3-
Heated, leather seats
8-way Power driver's seat with memory
Bi-Xenon HID (High Intensity Discharge) headlights w/ auto-leveling
Auto on/off headlight control
Adaptive Front Lighting System (AFS) - swivels lights into turns
LED taillights
Heated side mirrors
Power Moonroof
Rain-sensing wipers
One other thing to consider is the standard tires-
P225/40YR18 BSW performance
Dunlop SP Sport 2050 (Ultra-High Performance Summer)
$243 per tire at Kauffman Tire
no treadlife warranty, avg. less than 30k
$120 each for P205/50VR17 Dunlop SP Sport Signature for the s GT 5-door
They are a High-Performance All-Season with 60k treadlife warranty
Between the larger width and diameter and the much more aggressive 'Y' speed rating paired with the 'sport' suspension upgrades...very harsh ride that would get old very fast! =)
Consumer Reports also shows it as having a lot more reliability issues than the regular Mazda3. The engine in particular has been problematic in the MAZDASPEED3 and the CX-7 SUV.
We're too old for that crap!...and I'm 'only' 36! =)2015.5 Volvo S60 T6 Drive-E Platinum, 2012 Mazda CX-9 GT
I purchased my 2010 Mazdaspeed 3 just before Christmas. It is black with the tech package. The dealer in Redwood City, CA had 2 on the lot and they matched the advertised price of another dealer in San Jose, CA ($21,800 ~$4K off sticker). Worked with the Internet Manager, Jessica, and it was the most pain free negotiation I have ever experienced in buying a car from a dealer.
I owned a Protege5 for almost 10 years, so I am very familiar with the Mazda product. Love the Mazdaspeed 3 thus far. Good power, nice handling, and good content for the price. Wasn't too sure if I would like the Smart Key, but I LOVE it now. I love being able to just climb in, hit the start button, and take off.
Gripes: Clutch pedal is a bit binary. Tough for me to get consistently smooth shifts (and I have been driving sticks for 25 years). Not an issue on the Mazda3 S I test drove however.... Fuel mileage is a bit disappointing so far for me (avg 22 mpg), but I suspect that will improve as the engine "breaks in". No water temp/oil pressure gauges...really???
All in all, a great car and a ton of bang for the buck. Very happy with it.
I purchased the 2010 Grand Touring fully loaded-had them knock ocff another $475 off the price. I looked at the cost of ownership for the Speed and decided to skip it this go around since insurance with 3 teens in the family was scary.
The clutch was also an issue with the Speed since I do alot of driving in metro-Atlanta. I am from Cherokee county and have a stop and go commute from Woodstock to work-the Mazda3 manual is easy to shift and actually makes the commute more interesting.
First week(after teaching the kids how to drive a stick) my avg mpg on the trip computer is 26mpg-makes me smile. I know it will get better after the initial "fun" of a sporty little car wears off....that may take a while
Great car! BTW- Did purchase at Jim Ellis in Marietta-good folks to work with and didn't play any games.
I agree with everything you note...that's why I bought the loaded 3-great car with plenty of "get up and go."
Got another $475 on the deal-dealer net was -46$ but that doesn't include
"Mr. Ellis's" fee. Have some additional info in the thread when I replied to gary from CA. BTW-live in Woodstock-Towne Lake area...so if ya see a Red 3 in traffic on 575 could be me..with a grin!
The Grand Touring is definitely a nice car. 3 teens in the house...yikes... I won't have to worry about that for a few years to come (mine are 5 and 4), but that is definitely food for thought when it comes time to replace the speed 3.
I am suspicious of my trip computer. The 1st 2 tanks have displayed 24+mpg, but I calculated closer to 22 mpg based on mileage and gallons used to fill the tank.
Congrats on your car!
Gary B
You taught your kids how to drive on YOUR own car??? BRAVE MAN! =)
What part of town do you work in? When I first moved back up to the 'boondocks', I drove 108 miles round-trip every day to Windy Hill Rd. I was on the road a minimum of three hours and, quite often, closer to four hours. I realized just how supportive and comfortable the awesome seats in my '06 Mazda3 s 5-door were. But I also got so sick of shifting constantly in stop-and-go (gridlock, actually)! Thankfully, I only had to make that commute for eight months..
As for fuel economy, 26mpg is very good considering that the vehicle is still so new and you're probably still adjusting to it also. I average 25-27mpg overall in my 2006 MZ3 (2.3L 5MT) and highway trip mileage has never been over 29mpg. Then again, I always run 80-85mph on those highway trips, so the fuel economy would almost certainly be improved at a steady 70mph or so.
In stop-and-go driving, my mileage was rarely over 24mpg. But in exchange for a few mpg, you have extra power/acceleration readily available whenever you need it! As much as I loved my Hondas and Acuras, I don't miss waiting for the tach to hit 5000rpm to get any serious power!
Anyway, congrats on the new ride and the great deal! I haven't seen many Velocity Red MZ3s in the wild (even though they look awesome), so I'll keep an eye out for you! =)2015.5 Volvo S60 T6 Drive-E Platinum, 2012 Mazda CX-9 GT
I have read a number of posts on Mazda boards mentioning the same thing w/mpg on trip comp vs actual calculated. Most from Speed3 owners. Have seen everything from 16-30. I am going to start a log to compare. Lots of variables that even the Mazda's "brain" can miss.
I have a 1971 Buick GS w/sb 350 and it ranges from 8mpg to 16 mpg-dictated entirely by how many traffic rules I break-so a "constant" with the Mazda makes me a little skeptical-cause I violate the rules in that too.
Teens(even w/o tickets)= automatic 25% increase-boys even worse. By the time yours are old enough to drive we will be plugging in our cars at night instead of filling up!
I work at 75/Windy Hill. SLOOOOWWW commute. Did see a guy in Town Lake with a brand new Speed3 Velocity Red-he gave me a somewhat condescending look!
I'm getting the windows tinted-35% smoke-nit mirrored. I think that will really make it neat. Found a guy who does a lot of dealership work who will do the whole job w/warranty for $225. I'll let you know if the work is good-the price seems fair for a professional installation.
Honk if you see Velocity Red!
A dealer here in the Atlanta area has one remaining 2010 Mazda3 s Grand Touring 4-door in stock and they've had it on the lot for at least 10 months! Mazda increased the base price of this model from $21,500 to $21,645 as of 04/01/2010 and this car has the $21,500 base price. It also has the door-mounted rearview mirrors with the turn-signal flasher built-in, which was included on early production models then discontinued mid-year with no explanation....so it's definitely been there a while.
The color may be part of the problem, but it's actually the color I want- Celestial Blue! It's loaded with the Bose/Moonroof Pkg and the Technology Package also. The only problem (for me) is that it's a 6-speed manual 4-door sedan and I wanted 5-door with 5-speed automatic...but I still can't get this car off my mind and wonder just how low they might go on the price??? The sticker price is $24,840 and the dealer cost was $22,993. Cost minus the $1500 Mktg Support (Dealer Cash) AND $500 Owner Loyalty Cash (drive a 2006 MZ3 5-door now) brings it down to $20,993 dealer cost. But how much of a loss would they take to move it?
Celestial Blue was dropped from the s 4-door color options for 2011, which is a pretty good indicator that it didn't sell. Even if I could deal with the 4-door/manual, the question of resale value and would it be hard to find a buyer at all down the road!? But if the price was insanely low, under $19k OTD or so, I could get over all of my concerns....

But at least Jim Ellis Mazda is near your office! If you use them for service or for any warranty repairs (hopefully not), they will shuttle you to and from work while they have your vehicle. If you ever have a warranty issue that requires them to keep your car overnight or longer, they'll even provide a loaner! They pulled a new Mazda6 off the lot for me to drive while they ordered my new engine back in 2008....and I drove it for just over three weeks until mine was fixed. That's a whole 'nother story, though....but at least it happened 800 miles BEFORE the warranty expired! =)2015.5 Volvo S60 T6 Drive-E Platinum, 2012 Mazda CX-9 GT

My wife is looking to buy a Grand Touring sedan. She wants a manual with dune leather. The dune leather only comes in three colors, one of which she doesn't like. The other two are Crystal White Pearl Mica and Copper Red Mica. We live in Maryland. After going through the 'build your own car' routine and then looking through the dealer inventory within 500 miles of us, there's one white one in New York and a copper one in Massachusetts. That's it.
I have a few questions: Can I get Mazda to actually 'build one' for us? If so, can I assume that would take away any leverage we may have about getting a good deal? Dealers want to reduce the inventory they have on the lot, so a special order car wouldn't help them.
Typically, if a dealer doesn't have the car a buyer wants on his lot, but a nearby dealer does, they'll go get it for you. Would a dealer in Maryland bother getting one from Massachusetts, or would that be too much of a hassle? Would they charge me extra to have it trucked down here?
Any insight before talking to a dealer would be appreciated.
Nevermind my previous post. We found just what she wanted at Fitzgerald in Frederick.
Since I'm already in the Price Paid category:
2011 sGrand Touring, six-speed manual, crystal white pearl mica, dune leather, no tech package.
$21276, which includes freight, but not taxes, tags and title.
Hello, I want to buy a mazda 3 and this is my first new car.
I contacted several dealers in chicago OTD for i-sport(auto) is always above 18k and i-touring above 19k.
The best offer I can get right now is a new 2010 mazda 3 i-touring auto transs.
This includes all rebates, taxes and new plates.
It also has Remote starter and door moldings.
0% for 60 months through the dealer. (my credit sore is above 700)
I want to know if it's a good price to go. If not, what counter offer I need to give them.
however $1250 rebates include about $500 loyalty which I don't think I qualify. I am not a current mazda owner
I asked the sales man about this via email but he left me a voicemail said his email is not working. It seams that what they want to do is get me to the store.
thank you guys
Just got an mazda3 sedan auto i-touring today in northern California- $16150 excluding tax title license which was ~10%. 5 years 0.9%, zero down. I think there may be some new factory incentives out there, the dealer had a TON of them on the lot. The wouldn't budge on the hatchback though.
I got a 2011 mazda 3 i touring auto today for $17933, including tax title and license, 0.9%, 5 years, 0 down. You probably can do better than your offer. I found an ad in a newspaper from a dealer that had $3000 off a base model that I didn't want and eventually got them to give that and a little more off the i touring. I think the key was having them run my credit and see it was decent, then bargain a bit, then my wife said she wanted to leave, so we got prepared to go and in that 5 minutes when we said we were going they came down like $2000. They printed a quote and we left and came back a couple hours later.
In chicago, OTD 19500 with 0 APR.
The dealer wont lower any more. Should I take it?
quick update,
2010 s sport a/t mazda 3, $19250 OTD.
Is there anyone else bought this model before and want to sharing your price?
In chicago I got my 2010 i-sport. base model auto trans.
OTD 16270 including everything.

joexmaspunk Posts: 1I have wanted a Mazda3 hatchback ever since I saw them first came out. I like the new model (I like the toothless smile) and researched other cars around that price range for about 6 months. The M3-hb was for me. So at the start of March 10th, I was planning to get one. Here in my hometown, we have one Mazda dealership. The closest is in Abilene 90 miles away. Naturally, I went the one here first. It was a graphite-colored automatic s-Sport-model that I knew was on the lot since October. They were offering $21,235. They took $500 right off. We (my uncle came with) told them to give us something lower. They checked my credit and said I was eligible for Mazda's March deal which was 0.0% APR for 60 months and 90 days until the first payment. We wanted more off, so we told him I was offering $8,000 as a down payment (I was not offering a trade-in). They took off $700 and explained how it was a good deal etc. We said sorry and walked off. When we got to my old car, they said okay $1,000 and that would only be good for today. I told them I will think about it. They called later that night about two hours later to see if I will take it. I never answered the phone. That is what they asked on voice mail. The next day I called Abilene and asked about the M3 s-Sport-model in celestial blue that has been up on the Net for about 3 days. I asked how much are they willing to take off from the sticker price of $21,640. They lowered it to $20,516. They checked my credit and told me I also qualified for the 0.0% APR offer. I told them I was going to put down$8k. He did not lower the price, but he told me that right off the lot price with taxes, fees, etc which was 22,064.74 and with the 8k-dp, my payments were going to be $234 for 60 months. My local dealership called again offering the same deal (the one that was only for yesterday). The sticker price was lower than Abilene's by almost 300 hundred. However, they said the monthly payments were $241 . I wanted to ask them Why were they higher? But I really wanted to get off the phone. My uncle and I went to Abilene to check out the blue car in person. I loved it instantly. The blue was sharp and it had one mile. I asked for a lower price. They did not budge and I felt they would not. However, I liked this dealership and I felt the price was fair. I took it. I just felt the local dealership was giving me a BS story. Why was the monthly payment higher? Anyway, love the car.
mmm Posts: 6I am thinking about buying a 2011 Mazda3 i touring 4D sedan. I live in central KY. I was surprised to see that the Edmunds' true market value for the base model is almost $600 below invoice! If I use a printout of this if I go to negotiate, do you think the salespeople will take it seriously?
When I hear Central KY, I think of Louisville...so I did a little searching in that area and found a dealer with some potential deals...
It's called Oxmoor Mazda and located in Louisville, KY. They list new car inventory including 20+ 2011 i Touring 4-door AT models priced at $16,745! They should an MSRP or $19,745 and note a $3000 savings/discount below.
TrueCar.com is showing a "Best Local Price" of $17,414 for this car. That includes the $500 Marketing Support cash-to-dealer on the 2011 model. It also shows the Factory Invoice as $18,764 but the ACTUAL "Dealer Cost" is also shown as $16,980. The Dealer Cost is calculated based on Invoice minus Dealer Incentives and Holdback.
When I pull the numbers in Edmunds, it has a TMV of $17,885 with the invoice price showing as $18,544 and MSRP at $19,745. $500 of the difference between invoice and TMV is the $500 Marketing Support that Mazda is currently offering dealers on these models.
So I'd start by checking out those $16,745 i Touring models at Oxmoor Mazda and go from there...2015.5 Volvo S60 T6 Drive-E Platinum, 2012 Mazda CX-9 GT

A look at how the piano player can use the Pentatonic Scale from the early stages of study, with particular reference to applying it: a) as the basis for a teaching method for young beginners and b) in extemporisation and improvisation.
The pentatonic scale is a scale with 5 notes and has no semitones. The best way to become familiar with the sound of the major pentatonic scale is to play all the five black notes ascending and descending. The minor pentatonic scale uses 1,3,4,5, and 7 of the natural minor scale, and the blues scale is based on the minor pentatonic and adds a flattened 5th. Exam boards like the ABRSM and Trinity Guildhall include natural minor and pentatonic scales in their syllabi.
Many beginners at the piano have played pieces based on the pentatonic scale. A number of these pieces have a Chinese connection in their title, which I personally find misleading. In all truth, Chinese music is characteristically pentatonic, but to sum it up with merely a 5-note association is, to say the least, limiting to both a description of the Chinese scale and to how people taught in the Western tradition should view this scale. Philip Ball observes in his book The Music Instinct: '...not only are supplementary tones added' (to the Chinese pentatonic scale, my brackets)'...but there are also several modes...' and:'...there are many regional variants of these scales with quite different structures, some of which are defined over more than a single octave span.' (The Music Instinct,p.81)
Whatever the title, some of these tunes found in a number of piano tutors are delightful. Such tutors include Fritz Emonts' 'European Piano Method' Bk1, Denes Agay's' Learning to Play Piano' Bk1, or John Schaum's 'Piano Course' BkB. Alan Bullard's series for Sight Reading includes pages based on the pentatonic scale: 'Joining the Dots' Bk 1. Entire repertoire books are devoted to using the pentatonic scale and modes, for example Mary Elizabeth Clark's 'Contempos' 1 & 2. Last but not least, Gillian Skottowe Earl bases the first chapters of her method book 'With Music in Mind' on the use of the pentatonic black notes.
To understand why the pentatonic scale is so conducive to enjoyable and creative piano playing for the young beginner, it is important to understand the crucial role singing plays in the individual's music education - indeed singing with a role prior to playing an instrument. Added to this is the importance of fostering listening skills, again, during the formative years of the musician. The Hungarian composer and paedagogist Zoltan Kodaly, whose teaching method is considered as one of the most effective by many educational establishments worldwide, wrote:
'Everyone who learns an instrument should sing first. Singing, independent of an instrument, is the real and profound school of music abilities. Before rearing instrumentalists, we must first rear musicians.' (Extract from With Music In Mind, Teacher's Guide, GS Earl, p. 13)
Kodaly championed the pentatonic scale as an invaluable singing tool for children, because he understood that a child finds it much easier to sing tunes without semitones, initially. Pentatonic tunes are catchy and easier to remember. Small wonder then, that folk tunes often contain pentatonic melodies (from simple to complex), and this was one of the reasons why Kodaly was passionate about the folk tunes of his country, a passion shared by his compatriot Bela Bartok. Kodaly and Bartok adapted Hungarian (also Slovak and Rumanian) folk songs, many of them pentatonic and very many for children, 'written in the spirit of folksongs but without their difficulties.' (Preface to Pentatonic Music Vol.2, Kodaly)
With the persuasive appeal of this methodology underlying her approach, Gillian Skottrowe Earl has written her tutor books for piano, a great method for young beginners (see above) Vols. 1&2. The lessons begin using Sol-fa* names of black notes, initially so and mi, and eventually do-re-mi-so-la. (I use G.S. Earl's spellings) Although playing the notes with either hand, with carefully selected fingering, begins almost immediately, a strong emphasis is placed on singing as well as playing. Fixed pitch is not established at the outset, rather the relationships between the notes is emphasised, making the pupil aware of intervals every step of the way. Hand signs are used for each tone. Once this pattern is established, a great variety of tunes are presented, tunes which the pupil thoroughly enjoys.
*Regarding pitch, the treatment of 'all major keys (since they are identical in interval) as one', with the common note names do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do (The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Music)
In the earlier chapters of 'With Music In Mind' the tunes are printed in a format showing bars and time signatures, time values for notes, notes with stems up or down, and rests, but initially no stave. Therefore a secure sense of rhythm is developed. At regular stages pupil and teacher sing their tunes; moreover, intonation exercises are included, where one note is sustained ostinato fashion (sung or played) and a melody proceeds. Legato and staccato are introduced early on, and expression marks explained.
'Questions' require 'Answers': a short episode of two bars is played or sung giving the pupil the opportunity to come up with an answer, and these exercises, incorporated into each chapter, encourage extemporisation, which in later stages can be developed into improvisation. This approach is the very essence of participation and dialogue in its most stimulating sense of the words. The pupil is encouraged to respond,make eye contact, engage with the people around him/her, and indeed engage with the instrument and create more music. David Wright, in his book From Extemporisation to Improvisation, writes :'...extemporisation...to play with musical sounds ...is as natural as breathing'; moreover, this kind of experience could form the basis for successful improvisation at a later stage, because' ...some forms...lead more directly to articulate expression and so on to improvisation and composition.' (From Extemporisation to Improvisation p.3) The skills inherent in improvisation are in a more natural form here: the use of repetition, creating a new theme, trying sequence, where themes are repeated at a different pitch, and concluding a passage of music. And because the pentatonic combination of notes does not have the tonic/leading note relationship, this 'reduces the tonic pull' (David Wright,p.17) and pupils feel freer to let a melody follow its course. Added to which, many pupils find it easier initially to play on the black keys, so co-ordination gives more confidence. Later on, when the piano player uses more extended hand positions and white notes, further use of the pentatonic scale will become more varied.
Underlying all this is a tailoring to the needs of the musical ear; so for example the large hand symbols for each tone are given more importance than the stave, which we have seen does not appear straight away. George Odam writes: '...it is best to do something active in order to internalise the (musical) experience' (my brackets) p.24, and: 'The starting point and the true end of music education must always be the development of the ear.'( The Sounding Symbol) p.30
Once lessons are underway it would be surprising to find pupils who don't turn up for lessons with a longing to sing, locate the notes they are using, and get started on a tune they have learnt or recently composed; all this with the use of comfortable fingering (with increasing ease) and a willingness to find a place for the notes they are learning on the stave, when they are ready for it. The structured plan of this method gives the teacher the opportunity to develop important areas of learning as they go along; thus posture and finger shape, for example, are adopted with relaxation and willingness because the pupil is in a receptive frame of mind and contributing actively to the lesson. Learning interesting songs with dynamics, and creating their own songs, will develop sensitivity to a varied repertoire. Of course the teacher will want to be giving piano pupils a complete, multi faceted training:the development of good technique, how much and how well to practise, are crucial, but they are not topics that belong in this article.

I was due to travel to France in January but I was ill with what felt like flu the week before. The doctor gave me antibiotics for a kidney infection but I was no better the day before I was due to travel. I intended catching the train but that morning the doctor said I had signs of septicaemia and sent me to hospital. I wasn't seen until 10.30pm.
I claimed on my Columbus travel policy for train travel and the hotel in Paris. I sent in the unused tickets and booking invoice with a note from the doctor but Columbus says I have to produce cancellation invoices before my claim can be processed. The claims firm will not accept that this is impossible because I was in A&E. I have repeatedly tried to get this paperwork from the hotel, SNCF and Eurostar, but with no result. JR, Bucknell, Shropshire
Columbus was waiting for you to send in the cancellation invoices and your claim would not have progressed any further without them. The company does now accept that you could not obtain these while you were in hospital. It has agreed to accept your claim and is crediting you with £216. As a gesture of goodwill, it is also waiving the excess.

Ajaccio and Bastia ends goalless
Both sides had a man sent off as Ajaccio and Bastia shared a bad-tempered goalless draw in the Corsican derby in Ligue 1.
Last Updated: 21/10/12 5:05pm
Both sides had a man sent off as Ajaccio and Bastia shared a bad-tempered goalless draw in the Corsican derby in Ligue 1.
Bastia defender Gael Angoula and Ajaccio forward Johan Cavalli were given straight red cards eight minutes from time following a melee involving players from both teams.
The ill-feeling spread to the stands with the fans getting fired up and setting off flares.
It was in contrast to a slow start of the game with Cavalli having the first real opening after 26 minutes but his header from Benjamin Andre's cross did not trouble Macao Novas in the Bastia goal.
All the action came at the end of the half.
Ricardo Faty almost put the hosts ahead four minutes before the break when his long-range first-time effort was pushed to safety by Novas.
A minute later and Cavil's shot took a slight deflection off Sylvain Marchal, beating the keeper but intercepted by Jeremy Chaplain on the line.
Ajaccio then came within inches of taking the lead on the stroke of half-time, Adrian Mutu's strike hitting the base of the right post before going to safety.
It took until almost 10 minutes after half-time for Bastia to threaten, Anthony Modeste's header shaving the bar with Guillermo Ochoa beaten in the Ajaccio goal.
However, normal service resumed as they were forced to clear off the line again.
Carl Medjani's effort at the back post across Novas found Whale Khazri on the line and the visiting midfielder cleared the ball.
Then eight minutes from time a melee erupted with Angoula and Cavalli squaring up to each other with the pair both sent off.
Bastia then had a great chance to steal the points deep into injury time, Ajaccio defender Fousseni Diawara heading Khazri's free-kick into the path of Fethi Harek but the defender volleyed wide.

After months of research, I made the decision to start the company on my days off - I'm off 3 days a week, plus I have mornings free. I researched for several months and when I finally made the plunge, I bought a 48" Scag Hydro WB with Advantage deck, Echo 650 Blower, Echo Trimmer/edger and a 5 x 8 trailer - all this with basically no customers, just a desire and "gut feeling". I took a few months to learn the mower pretty well and now I am starting to get some clients for next year. I'm also getting calls for leaf jobs - I seem to be bidding too high though -we'll see how that goes. Anyway, this site is outstanding! Wish me luck - any advice - much appreciated! Thanks.

Stanford University is planning to postpone some construction projects and control salaries over the next two years to reduce expenses amid the deepening economic slump.
In an e-mail sent Thursday to staff and faculty, President John Hennessy said none of the cutbacks will affect the school's core educational functions.
He says the university will protect faculty positions and expand financial aid.
Officials say Stanford doesn't plan across-the-board layoffs or salary freezes, but pay increases will be smaller than in previous years and some jobs may be cut.
Hennessy says a steep decline in investment income, reduced research funding and a rise in needy students has created "perhaps the tightest financial outlook we have seen in decades."

HOUSTON {AP} A Houston congresswoman attended a weekend gun show here to emphasize why she thinks tougher gun laws are needed.
"They (gun shows) are a ready source of guns for crimes of passion. If you don't have a cooling-off period, it's easy to act on those emotions and come down here today and tragically do something you really don't want to do," U.S. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee said Saturday at the Saxet gun show.
The gun control debate continues despite the failure in the U.S. House of a bill requiring safety locks and increasing the waiting period required to purchase guns.
Jackson Lee said the setback in the House does not mean defeat for advocates of gun control: The Senate passed legislation similar to the bill Jackson Lee advocated, and a congressional conference committee still could lead to increased legislation.
The number of guns and amount of ammunition she saw as she walked through the gun show disturbed her, she said.
Todd Saxet, director of the show, noted that more than 200 uniformed law enforcement agents were at the show.
Saxet also said that no one under 18 was admitted into the show unless accompanied by a parent and no one could buy a gun without showing Texas identification.
Jackson Lee countered that she saw children walk into the show unescorted, and she said driver's licenses can be forged.
Jackson Lee added that she does not to shut down gun shows or inconvenience collectors, but does want to make it harder for criminals to purchase guns.

(Bismarck, ND)- Passenger boarding numbers for calendar year 2016 surpassed the previous record set just one year ago. 271,020 passengers boarded commercial airline flights at the Bismarck Airport this year an increase of 4.49% or 11,648 passengers. This is the 7th straight year of record passenger boardings. Passenger numbers for the month of December 2016 were down less than a 1%. This decrease is likely due to the winter weather and canceled flights the airport experienced in December.
Airport Director, Greg Haug was pleased to see the year-end numbers come in and attributes these record boardings to Bismarck's strong economy. "It's great to see so many people traveling. We had to scramble a bit this holiday season with the storms at the end of year but overall a great year for passenger boardings" said Haug.
Demand for air service has been on the rise for several years and the Bismarck Airport has taken notice and worked hard to stay ahead of the growth. Bismarck Airport recently completed a project with the TSA that added a third checkpoint lane in the fall of 2016. The airport also installed all new control equipment in the parking lot because the old system could not process exiting vehicles quick enough to meet customer needs. Both of these improvements speed up passenger throughput and reduced wait times. Haug said, "We will continue to upgrade our facilities to accommodate the needs of our growing customer base." "As the demand for air travel continues to rise, the Bismarck Airport will be able to attract more air service options for its customers."
Bismarck Airport currently has five (5) airlines providing non-stop service to seven destinations nationwide (Minneapolis, Denver, Dallas/Ft. Worth, Chicago, Phoenix/Mesa, Orlando-Sanford and Las Vegas) with connections domestically and internationally. Go to http://www.bismarckairport.com for additional information.

As easy as 1-2-3. Kinda...
As we slowly wade our way through Thermaltake's Element alphabet, passing through G and T and S, we've finally found ourselves stopped outside the Element V. Perhaps not the most uniquely named case in the world; it's certainly the largest out of all the cases we've seen in this range, packing up to EATX motherboards within its black, hulking frame. Sticking well and truly with the black and red trend that has flowed from the first Element case, the entire case is anodised black steel externally, with red LED fans providing a nice contrast.
The I/O panel on the top of the case is the only part that has a solid red colour applied, framing the four USB ports, eSATA and mic/audio. There is a large power and reset button that have a firm action to them, though bumping them will be as easy as slight bump when groping for the large fan control dial (that can also control the LED lighting in the fans). Underneath these ports lie five 5.25in bays that lie behind a plastic/mesh fascia, with a filtration material applied to stop most of the dust entering the case. A 120mm fan intakes air at the front, and intake duties are aided by a large 230mm fan on the left-hand sidepanel. This fan is powered by molex, and uses Thermaltake's nifty wiring method that connects up the power when the sidepanel is attached, saving arm-batics when putting the system together.
Exhaust duties are handled by a 200mm fan on top of the case, and a 120mm rear fan. These aren't the best quality, but should remove a lot of the hot air from inside the case. The rear of the case isn't anodised, but like most of the case it is constructed from quite thick steel that gives it a definite feel of sturdiness. Weighing in at just over 14kg this isn't a lightweight case in any sense of the term, and even the sidepanels are heftier than a construction worker's beer belly.
Once inside the case we found ourselves pretty disappointed by what we saw, with bare steel showing a standard EATX/ATX mobo layout. There is a large cutout behind where the CPU socket will be for installing heatsinks, and some minimalist cutouts for cable routing, but there isn't enough room behind the motherboard tray to really do anything useful. At a stretch you'll be able to run an 8-pin cable, but the 24-pin ATX cable will never fit back there and instead will have to be strung across the mobo in a decidedly coarse fashion.
While the PSU mounts at the bottom of the case in the more popular method, it sits on hard metal rails above honeycombed venting that has no dust filter. There are tool-less plastic securing methods for keeping the harddrives in place, but these feel quite cheap, and aren't vibration dampened. Perhaps most irritating is the large steel bar that runs across the expanse of the mobo area, which detracts a lot from the relatively clean layout. All things considered it's a relatively functional internal layout, but it's not good for cabling.
The Element V may be the biggest case in the series, and while it's got great airflow and cooling potential it is let down by complete lack of vibration dampening, with a hefty measure of awkward cabling thrown in too.

Gamasutra - Class Design
Hybrid class design article discussing the value of said roles.
The hybrid issue is exacerbated by the fact that MMOs are both solo and group games. If people only played MMOs in groups, a character able to soak a lot of damage but deal no damage would be viable because the other people in the group could deal damage for them. The individual character could be one dimensional (a pure tank) because the other group members fill out the other two parts of the trinity (DPS and healing).
However, studies have shown that even in group-focused games, players spend a lot of their playing time doing things on their own. Even if a character is the best healer in the world, if they can't take or dish out at least some damage they won't be able to operate outside of a group. Soloing requires that the character be able to deal damage, plus the ability to absorb, avoid, or heal the damage taken.
Therefore, once the design decision has been made that every character should be able to solo -- a decision that has been made practically mandatory by the successful example of World of Warcraft -- it automatically follows that every character must be a hybrid and therefore subject to the paradoxes of hybrid design. This is a universal problem, not just one that affects certain classes within a game.

Neil Kinnock kicked out of seat at football match for 'upsetting fans'
NEIL Kinnock was kicked out of his seat during a Premiership football match - after apparently upsetting fans with his enthusiastic celebrations.
Lifelong Cardiff City supporter Lord Kinnock "caused angry responses" by leaping up and down with joy when his team scored against Fulham.
Security staff had to escort the former Labour leader from his seat for "spoiling" the enjoyment of home fans at the West London club.
Lord Kinnock, 71, and his two grandchildren were among hundreds of Cardiff City fans sitting in the home stand at Fulham's Craven Cottage ground.
The former Leader of the Opposition jumped for joy when his boyhood team scored in the 12th minute of the first half.
Other Cardiff City fans saw stewards arrive and escort Lord Kinnock and his grandchildren from the Ernie Clay stand at the ground.
One fan posted on the club's fan forum: "Pleased to see Mr Kinnock sitting two rows in front off me in the stand.
"I am not sure if Neil has as much experience as me of sitting with the home fans but his celebration of our first goal led to him being escorted from the stand."
Lord Kinnock, former Vice-President of the European Commission, was later spotted going "bonkers" in another part of the ground when Cardiff City scored their injury-time winning goal.
It gave the Welsh team an historic 2-1 victory - their first away win in the top flight since 1962 when young Neil Kinnock was a humble student in Wales.
Hundreds of Cardiff City fans bought tickets in the home end at the stadium after their official allocation sold out.
Sarah Brookes, spokeswoman for Fulham FC, said: "Mr Kinnock was located in the home stand on Saturday and caused some angry responses when he and his family celebrated the Cardiff City goal.
"He was relocated in The Putney End, the away Stand, where there were a number of spare seats.
"We would always relocate away fans found in home areas, if seats are available, to ensure that Fulham fans located in home areas enjoy their matchday experience."
Lord Kinnock has been a fan of Cardiff City - known as The Bluebirds - since his coal miner father took him to his first match aged six.
He has previously been quoted before a big match saying: "Decorum will not come into it if Cardiff win."
Neil Kinnock was an MP in the Welsh Valleys from 1970 until 1995, first for the Bedwellty constituency and then for Islwyn.
He was Leader of the Opposition from 1983 until the Labour Party leadership election in 1992, making him the longest-serving Leader of the Opposition in British political history to date, and the longest never to have become Prime Minister.
Following Labour's fourth consecutive defeat in the 1992 general election Lord Kinnock resigned as leader and resigned from the House of Commons three years later.
He became the European Union's Transport Commissioner and he went on to become the Vice-President of the European Commission from 1999 to 2004.
In January 2005, he was elevated to the peerage becoming Baron Kinnock of Bedwellty.
Lord Kinnock's office in London said he had been expecting to sit in the "away end" with other fans of the newly-promoted Welsh club.
His spokeswoman Jane Enright told the London Evening Standard it was just coincidence he and his grandchildren were moved just after Cardiff scored.

ELYRIA — Maybe it was the hot streak Elyria High wrestler Armando Torres has been riding that caused the school's fire alarm to sound off midway through Sunday's competition.
Torres — the Division I 113-pound state runner-up in March — captured the Junior freestyle 120-pound state championship with a 1-1, 1-0 victory over Olentangy Liberty sophomore Jonathan Furnas.
"I had heard he was pretty tough — I think the match was a little closer than I expected," Torres said of Furnas, who placed seventh at state in March. "It was really hard to move him around. He had great head position and almost always I couldn't get past his head or hands."
Torres joins three other Lorain County wrestlers on the Ohio team headed for the national championships in Fargo, N.D., in July. Oberlin heavyweight Kevin Vough won a Cadet state championship to earn his spot, Pioneers freshman Ben Darmstadt finished as the Cadet runner-up at 145 pounds and Elyria's Taylor Workman was petitioned onto the team after placing fourth in the Junior's 170-pound bracket.
"I can't wait because I've heard so much about Fargo, and the training camp's real good," said Darmstadt, who lost 6-0, 4-2 to Greenview's Logan Lacure in the final. "I actually went down last year because (Pioneers coach Erik Burnett) took me down just to work out. That was real cool — just the training camp alone — so with the tournament on top of it, it's going to be fun."
Lacure was a Division III high school state runner-up last season. The freshman started fast against Darmstadt.
"The first period he came out there and took me down, turned me, turned me, exposed me here and got that tech — it got a little crazy rolling around," said Darmstadt, whose post-match interview was interrupted by the false alarm. "Second period, I stayed a little more solid. I didn't give up stupid exposures and tried to work my offense instead of worrying about defense."
Darmstadt will have two months to work on the mistakes he made Sunday — he mentioned not allowing his arms to get trapped in a front head trap and not allowing his left arm to hang — and he's already gotten a good scouting report on the national event.
"They say it's a long day, the dorms are hot and sweaty, the food's good … but I'm just going down there to get some good matches in and hopefully be an All-American and national champ," he said.
It must have seemed like a long day for Vough, who won a state title mostly by sitting on the bleachers.
"I only wrestled a total of one match for freestyle," he said. "My one match today was a 20-second pin."
Vough's 1-0 record — and the five points from the pin — was enough to put him in the final, which he won when Perrysburg's Cale Bonner didn't show up to wrestle. Bonner defeated Vough in the Greco Roman final Saturday, meaning both wrestlers will be competing in both styles in Fargo.
"I would have liked to wrestle the kid … but it's so awesome to go to Fargo," Vough said. "It'll be tough, a lot of work."
Not many on the Ohio team will have more Fargo experience than Torres, who will be making his fourth trip to nationals.
Torres won a Cadet state championship in 2010 with a win over Bethel-Tate's Brandon Kahlenbeck, and went on to become an All-American (top eight) at the national tournament. He lost to Brecksville's Austin Assad in the 2011 state final, then lost to Kahlenbeck in the 2012 state final.
"The last two years, I didn't wrestle my best," Torres said. "I'm glad I won it this year and for sure made it on the Fargo team … that's always a good thing."
Torres' list of accomplishments has grown during his high school career, and events like the nationals have helped fan the flames of his burning desire to succeed.
"It's basically all wrestling," he said. "There's not much to do in North Dakota, so you're there concentrating on wrestling. Getting workouts in, wrestling … it's just a weekend of straight wrestling."

I feel like I haven't had this one in ages! This is the first Ruby tea from Taiwan I ever tried, and one of the first teas I loved sans additions, so I think of it as one of my "growing up as a tea drinker" teas. You can steep this for ten minutes and I don't think it would get bitter. I once forgot a second steep for who knows how long, and it was still great.
This tea is pale when steeped, but so full of flavor. It resteeps beautifully. There is a light vegetal taste, but plenty of body. It is just excellent tea. Having said that, I do believe that the version from Shui tea is more even more flavorful, but since I don't own that one yet, I still enjoy this one!
This was paired today at tea party with Fudge Pie and individual portions of Brie baked with brown sugar and strawberries in puff pastry. Extra strawberries, lightly sugared, were served on the side to top the pie.

Empress of Ireland
The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Famam extendimus factis
Motto Translation: We exceed our reputation by deeds.

About Me
Explore, Experience, Enjoy, Eat!
I've been living and working all over the developing world since 2005, and am about to move to London for a masters in climate change at UCL. Hopefully the absurd travel will continue...
All things in moderation (including moderation), enjoy yourself as much as you can, and do as little harm to others as possible. Laugh often.
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I was able to host a large number of couchsurfers in my apartments in Guinea and Liberia, a tremendous experience. I have surfed a few times and used couchsurfing to meet fascinating people on my travels since then. I look forward to the day (hopefully soon) when I will be able to host surfers once again.
My first couchsurfing experience was in Amsterdam back in 2007 (thank you Hans Koops!), my traveling companion and I could find no accommodation and were put up with a warm welcome and unending generosity. He taught us the way!
Exploration! I have been hugely fortunate to be able to travel as much as I have, might as well keep a good thing going..

Music, Movies, and Books
I love movies, altogether too many to list here. Music-wise, there is quality to be found in all genres, but I am partial to soul, funk, rock, blues, even some rap/hip-hop and danceable music. I read quite a lot: authors I love include Vonnegut, Steinbeck, Hesse, Bryson, Douglas Adams, Pahlaniuk, and many others.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Rode my motorcycle from Conakry to Dakar (1400km) over three grueling, but amazing, days.
Teach, Learn, Share
I lived in west africa for quite a while, and have local knowledge of Mali, Senegal, DRC, Guinea, and Liberia. This can be important as most guide books are woefully out of date or horribly incorrect in terms of transport and safety. I also can advise that while the beer of guinea is horrible, Guiluxe is preferable to Skol...
