Eight Flights, Eight Seatmates. Adventures in the Air
Posted by Kelly Jo Horton in Travel and Places on June 24, 2009
Originally published on MySpace on June 24, 2009
As most of you know I went to Finland a few weeks back, and then I went to the Bay Area for a week of SQL Server bootcamp. In those two and a half weeks I flew eight flights and had eight seatmates. Some were interesting, some just slept. Here's the rundown…
Portland to Washington DC
I usually use the first leg of any long trip to catch up on the sleep I haven't been getting for the past five years. My seatmate had the same plan. I can't tell you his name, because he slept the whole time. Me? I slept a bit and then watched "He's Just Not That Into You" in Spanish, because I wanted to bone up on my Spanish since I was on my way to Finland. Oh wait, wrong country. I was bored okay!?
Washington DC to Copenhagen (that's in Denmark people)
This was an SAS flight, and it was going to be awesome. Yeah, that's what he said. I had an aisle seat in the middle of the plane, which is a strategic place for food and beverage consumption. We left the gate on time, got in line for takeoff, and then the dreaded announcement over the PA.
"We're going to be on the tarmac for a while here. There's weather over the Northeast portion of the United States and Canada, and all flights heading North have been grounded. We'll be shutting the engines down for a while."
This stuff always happens right after a big air diaster, and the Air France flight that broke apart in rough weather was most certainly the reason for this extreme caution. Because you know most airlines will fly you through a snowstorm with thumder and golfball size hail.
So we sat, and sat, and sat. An hour into it they finally rolled out the drink cart and the chocolate! And we started having happy hour in my area of the plane.
Next to me, Stuart, a cardiologist from Virginia, on his way to Stockholm. He went to med school in Belgium and had lots of stories.
Across the aisle from me, Hanna, from Finland, who was flying to the same little city (Turku) in Finland that I was. She was drinking whiskey because she had a sore throat. And when she found out I was on my way to Laitila she told me about a famous Laitila dialect poet named Heli Laaksonen.
In the row in front of me, Carrie Ann, the head chef of Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines. She was on her way to Turku as well, which happens to be a huge cruise ship building city, to check out the kitchens on the newest (world's largest) cruise ship. She was going for ONE day! She also used to be the chef at one of my favorite restaurants in Saratoga, CA, called the Plumed Horse.
Next to Carrie Ann was Eduardo, who looked like a rock and roll guy, and was in fact traveling with his band to tour in Sweden. He taught us all how to swear in Portuguese.
We sat on the tarmac for three hours, and had multiple drinks in our makeshift happy hour in the aisle of that Airbus. The three of us who were going to Turku discussed how we would get there from Copenhagen if we missed our connection (we did miss our connection).
Copenhagen to Stockholm
SAS's solution to our missed connection from Copenhagen to Turku was to fly us to Stokholm. An extra leg, and extra five hours. Bonus! My seatmate on that flight slept, so I can't tell you who he was.
We arrived in Stockholm and had some time to kill so Hanna and I had a snack and did some duty free shopping. She was bringing home a bottle of whiskey for her husband.
Stockholm to Turku (Finland)
It was one of those puddle jumper prop jobs where you wonder if they're powered by a hamster wheel.
I arrived in Turku, and my bag went to Barcelona. Lucky bag!
Turku to Copenhagen
Boring. No fancy seatmate.
Copenhagen to Chicago
My seatmate, Adam, was an unemployed 25-year old marriage and family counselor in L.A. who had been in Copenhagen visiting his brother who decided to live abroad for a year. My first question to Adam was, "So Adam, why do people get divorced?" This 25-year old with little life experience gave me a surprising answer, "Because everyone wants instant gratification. No one has the patience for marriage anymore."
We spent the first hour debating marriage and relationships, and then we both slept the rest of the way.
Chicago to Portland
I honestly don't remember this flight. I do believe I passed out with my mouth open, and a bit of drool hanging on. I was tired.
Portland to San Jose (CA)
My seatmate was a healer who lived and worked in Monterey and Santa Cruz, two very healer-friendly cities. He was on his way back from a healing conference in Vancouver, BC. He told me my frozen shoulder was caused by emotional trauma, which is probably true considering what I went through in the past year.
San Jose to Portland
My seatmate asked one question, "What kind of dog is in there?" and that was it. I had Lili the Wonder Pug stuffed into a carrier under the seat.
Sometimes you hit the jackpot, and sometimes you get stuck. Ever had an interesting seatmate? A really smelly one? One who wouldn't shut up for the 32-hour trip to Hyderabad? do tell!

One of the most incredible nights on my trip to NYC with CB was spent standing in Times Square on election night. It was totally unplanned. Impromptu. Just a random walking destination after dinner that night. We had no idea what we were walking into.
Times Square…
Arriving in Times Square in my vintage Value Village coat…
In awe…
The crowd…
The ABC billboard…
The clock strikes 11pm East Coast time, and the polls are closed on the West Coast. Barack Obama is declared the winner and the crowd goes wild.

Cabana Boy and The Muse do NYC: Part 4 (the limericks)
Posted by Kelly Jo Horton in Travel and Places on November 10, 2008
Originally published on MySpace on November 10, 2008.
CB and I spent our last day in Manhattan exploring and being tourists. We went to Wall Street, Ground Zero, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and when we couldn't stand any longer, a little restaurant near Central Park called Bella Cucina (E 87th Street and Lexington Avenue).
We were seated at a small table by the window in a sort of enclosed sidewalk patio area. The view to the street was blocked by a row of large white trailers, because we were sitting smack in front of the staging area for a film called "Solitary Man." We tried to guess who would star in a movie called Solitary Man, and CB suggested Russell Crowe. I was thinking it was probably some older actor who plays angst well. Someone like Bill Murray. We finally gave in and looked the movie up on IMDB and found it stars Michael Douglas, Susan Sarandon, Mary-Louise Parker, Jenna Fischer and Danny DeVito. Hmmm, could be interesting.
Back to the story… We perused the menu and were pleasantly surprised to find that the wine list contained bottles of wine that ranged from $25-$35 a bottle, which seemed to be completely unheard of in New York. We ordered a bottle of Chianti Classico, an appetizer and our entrees, and settled in for a nice dinner.
My friends will tell you that I'm a lightweight when it comes to alcohol, especially if I'm drinking on an empty stomach. I was getting giggly before I even finished the first glass of wine. It was at that point that I noticed the table cloth was actually a sheet of butcher paper, and I whipped out my ballpoint pen to get creative.
I challenged CB to a limerick contest, and we both started writing furiously. The idea was to write fast and furiously without editing.
I finished my first limerick, and began to read it out loud to CB, barely able to finish each line because I was laughing so hard. Here's the first limerick:
I once had a friend named Mike
Who rode around all day on a trike.
When asked if the seat
Made mince of his meat
He said, "Not anymore than I'd like."
And here's me cracking myself up.
I think this was CB's first limerick for me:
There once was a girl named Kelly
Who had the most extraordinary jelly.
It swayed and it shook
And wobbled amok
And made nervous the whole of New Delhi.
By this time we were in hysterics. I then asked CB to give me a word to include in a limerick. He said, "Antidisestablishmentarianism," to which I replied, "Uh no. How about a word I'd actually use."
"Okay," he said, "Makeup." Ahh that's better. I gave him the word "bustier" and here's what we came up with.
As a makeup artist I know
That on diva's you have to go slow
Some powder, some gloss
Let them be the boss
Or out the door you will go.
Her bustier was full of delights
And her knickers were feathery light
A kiss on her breast
Was always the best
Way to kick off the long summer night.
The evening went on like this until the entire table was covered with drawings and limericks, and the limericks just kept getting raunchier and raunchier as the night wore on. The couple at the table next to us (a mere four feet away) finally asked what was so funny. I told them we were being creative and writing nasty limericks. They were on a Match.com date, and were none too thrilled to be seated next to a loud silly couple like us. Too bad, so sad. As CB would say, "Get over it!"
When the meal was over and the bill was paid, we artfully rolled up our butcher paper full of memories and walked down the street to catch the subway back to the hotel.
Cabana Boy and The Muse do NYC: Part 3 (the punking of Carl)
Posted by Kelly Jo Horton in Travel and Places on November 8, 2008

Punking Carl…
The scenario: Anna from St. Petersburg shares a cab with CB from the airport and then he can't get rid of her.
We arrived at the hotel in the late afternoon, and CB called Carl to tell him he'd meet him in the lobby of the hotel at 5:30pm. When 5:30 rolled around I put on my best Russian accent (not that great but certainly passable), and headed down to the lobby with CB.
I let CB walk ahead and greet Carl, while I stayed back a bit behind a potted plant. I "Anna" then casually walked up to the pair with a sly smile and waited to be introduced.
"Oh, Carl this is Anna," said CB with a complete poker face. I said hello to Carl and listened to the boys chit chat about where to go and what to do, until CB turned to me and asked, "What would you like to do Anna?"
"I need drink!" I replied in a thick accent. "In cab you promised buy me drink."
"Well, there's a couple of pubs down the street," said Carl. "I went to one the other night that was pretty good."
"Beer?" said CB. "Anna probably wants vodka."
"Yes, I'm flying all day and need drink vodka," Anna said.
Carl looked a bit confused by this point, seeing that he had no idea who Anna was or where she came from, and CB wasn't giving any details. The three of us decided the pub would be fine and headed out of the hotel to find it.
When we got to the first street corner Carl said, "My cousin married a Russian girl. From Moscow I think"
Anna turned to CB, hit him in the shoulder and said, "See! I told you Russian girl very nice. You should marry Russian girl!"
"Where you from again Anna?" asked CB oh so innocently.
"I told you in cab. You remember nothing!" Anna said getting a little irritated.
"Oh that's right, Leningrad," said CB.
"No! Not called Leningrad long time. St. Petersburg now," said Anna with authority.
And on we walked.
When we got close to the pub CB asked Anna what she normally ate in Russia, and what she'd like for dinner. "Borscht? You eat Borscht?"
"Cabbage, potatoes, borscht. I had enough Borscht for lifetime. No more borscht!"
As we approached the front door of the restaurant CB pulled Carl aside, gave him a God-help-me look and said, "I shared a cab with her from the airport and now I can't get rid of her!"
An angsty Irish waitress greeted us as we entered the pub and showed us to a table in the corner in the back of the pub, which was a good thing because Anna was about to get "drunk" and start getting more forward.
We sat down and looked at the menu, and Anna started asking questions. "What's dis, chicken fingers? It's real fingers?" Carl and CB explained that they were not real chicken fingers at all, and that chicken didn't really have fingers. Anna continued to peruse the menu and ask totally naïve questions about the various food items until the waitress came back.
"What'll ya be having," she asked in a lilting Irish accent. CB and Carl each ordered a pint of something, and then CB asked if there was a full bar because Anna wanted vodka. He ordered a vodka tonic for Anna and the waitress rolled her eyes as she walked away.
Anna downs her first vodka tonic…
"I'm feeling tired. I can't go sister's house now too late. I stay with you?" Anna said as she put her hand on CB's thigh.
"No Anna, I don't think that's a good idea," said CB.
Carl was getting visibly uncomfortable at this point and starting to sweat.
"You told me in cab you have two beds in room. Yes?" said Anna, pressing CB even more. "I just sleep okay? I sleep in other bed with clothes on. I not want sex with you. You thinking I want sex with you. I don't."
I could see Carl's mind spinning, wanting to find a way to get his work colleague out of this horrible predicament with Anna. "We have a meeting at 9, remember?" he piped up, hoping this would help CB's case.
"You told me in cab you have two beds. My sister live so far away. Can't go tonight. I sleep in your room, okay? It's good. I go home early morning."
"Carl's right, we have a meeting at 9. I don't think it's a good idea."
Anna continued to touch CB's leg, his arm, his face, and get more "drunk" and persistent. Carl had a look of desperation on his face at this point. CB was having a hard time keeping a straight face and I couldn't take it anymore, so I "Anna" turned to CB and said, "Daahling. I think you tell Carl what's going on now."
"Carl, I'd like to introduce you to my girlfriend Kelly," said CB. "She does a lot of improv, and she's not really Russian."
Carl just looked like he'd been hit with a two-by-four and looked at CB. "No shit!" he mumbled.
In the end we raised our glasses and toasted Carl for being such a good sport. I'm pretty sure he has yet to recover from being punked by CB and The Muse.
Cabana Boy and The Muse do NYC: Part 2 (the flight)
Posted by Kelly Jo Horton in Travel and Places on November 7, 2008
Originally published on MySpace on November 7, 2008.
Cabana Boy (CB) and I had to rise before dawn to make our 7:49am flight to NYC on Tuesday morning. There was nary a mention of my Ford F-150 baggage that morning until we had to drag all of the baggage out to the car in the rain.
We drove to the airport in peace, and parked in the Back 40 (long-term economy parking), so named because you have to take a bus from the parking lot to the terminal.
We didn't originally have seats together on our long flight from Portland to Washington D.C. You see CB actually has some clout with United so they put him in the Premier section, and put me in Row 16. When we arrived at the airport we informed the United desk clerk of our situation and she immediately said to me, "Would you like six more inches of legroom for $59?" WTF? That's almost $10 an inch! Then she informed me that since I was basically considered a beggar on this flight (since I have no United clout) that I would also be charged a fee for the ONE bag I was checking. Excuse me? Then she decided to be nice and check my bag under CB's name since he apparently can check as many bags as he damned well pleases. (CB would like to note here that his bag was small enough to be a carry-on and he had no intentions of checking anything until The Muse showed up with the bag that ate Manhattan).
"We don't have any seats together right now, but you can check with the gate agent," she said with a smile that said, you'll be sitting in the back with some chatty 2-year old while your boyfriend is up front enjoying his extra six inches of legroom. Ha!
We walked to the gate, making a brief stop at the Coffee People kiosk to grab a couple of triple shot lattes before the flight. I approached the gate attendant to see if she could move me into the long-leg zone with CB, or move him back to the knee-binding zone with me. No luck getting me into the Premier section, so CB would have to sit in the back with me.
We boarded the plane and settled into 16A and 16B. I graciously gave CB my window seat since he graciously gave up his extra six inches to sit with me in the back. Unfortunately it turned out not to be such a gracious gift after all, as the woman in front of him immediately fully reclined her seat into CB's knees as soon as the 10,000 foot ding sounded in the cabin.
Once we took off a flight attendant with a voice that could have put an ADHD 12-year old to sleep came on to announce the in-flight services. "Today we have food-for-purchase available. We have a blue box, a red box, a yellow box a green box. Coffee, soft drinks, beer, wine and cocktails for $6," blah blah blah. We perused the in-flight magazine for the contents of the colored food boxes and settled on the "Right Bite" which contained hummus, pita chips, lemon-pepper flavored tuna (yeah it was stinky and bad), crackers, Lorna Doone shortbread cookies and a square of dark chocolate. It was basically the only box that contained any semblance of protein.
During the flight we amused ourselves by doing three things:
- Writing the first NYC blog by passing the laptop back and forth between us, made infinitely more challenging by the woman in front of CB who had fully reclined her seat.
- Doing the crossword puzzle in the in-flight magazine. I will admit that when I get on a flight I immediately look for a magazine that has a completely untouched crossword puzzle. There's nothing more annoying than starting a crossword puzzle that's half done. Having expressed this sentiment to CB, he decided to write a little note on the crossword page when we finished it. The note said, "Get over it!" pity the poor soul who gets that magazine next.
- And last but not least, we passed much of our light time hatching a plan to punk CB's work colleague Carl.
Punking Carl deserves a blog unto itself (it's coming). Suffice it to say that we spent at least an hour midflight trying to figure out how we were going to make poor Carl uncomfortable. You see, Carl has never met me, and in fact didn't even know CB and I were dating, so I thought this a ripe opportunity for some improv of the highest order. Should I show up at a bar as CB's long lost ex girlfriend from London? Should I be a Russian woman he shared a cab ride into the city with?
In the end we chose the scenario of the Russian woman that CB shared a cab ride in with and could now not get rid of…;^) Let the games begin!
To be continued…
Cabana Boy and The Muse do NYC: Part 1

Cabana Boy: Travels with The Muse
(This is a collaborative effort. The first paragraph is written by Cabana Boy, and the second is written by me, etc…)
"Who else is coming with us?" I asked as The Muse wheeled in the largest suitcase I'd seen in years – the expandable gusset already deployed. "You know we're only going to be in New York for four days, the other day and a half we're on an airplane."
"I'm a girl!" I said, "I need shoes and bags and coats. What if the weather changes?" It was true. My bag was the size of Ford F-150 packed for a 6-month road trip with a family of five. I had packed 2-week's (okay, well, maybe three) week's worth of clothing for a 4-day jaunt to New York.
When I travel for business I like traveling light. No checked bags, get in, do the work, get out. The Muse looked a little sheepish and I quickly realized that her mobile Macy's wasn't worth picking a fight over. Besides, we had a king sized bed waiting at the Roosevelt Hotel and who knew what secrets this vault of hers would yield up?
Macy's? Hmph! Nothing but Nordstrom and Sak's Fifth Avenue in my bag! Well, except for the vintage black wool swing coat I bought at Value Village for $9.99. Hey! This coat once graced the racks of I. Magnin. It says so right on the tag. Anyway, back to the subject at hand: the size of my bag. Size matters when you're going to NYC.
At The Muse's recent Sex and the City movie party I was invited to come as Mr. Big – but that's another story. Guys, just so we're clear, the I. Magnin wool swing coat wasn't in the bag, but worn on The Muse's rather fetching shoulders. Note no mention has been made of the computer or the handbag. We weren't traveling light; we were prepared for an all out assault.
You can't wear black shoes with brown pants! I had to bring the black shoes, the brown shoes, the running shoes, the four dresses, seven tops, three hats, three purses (because you can't carry a brown leather bag when you're wearing a black and white dress), the red patent leather flats (because I just might not be able to wear the stilettos for more than a New York block). "Honey, do you have a problem with the size of my bag?"
"No, dear, of course not." I replied. To be continued…
So, I Was Rafting Down the Truckee River…
Posted by Kelly Jo Horton in Travel and Places on August 24, 2008
I spent the past week at my family cabin in Incline Village, Lake Tahoe. The kids and I spent the first half of the week with my two sisters and my niece, and the second half of the week with a friend and her two kids.
One activity I haven't done in many years is go "rafting" down the Truckee river. I use the term rafting loosely because it's less like rafting and more like a slow float down a river with 50 of your drunken friends. I went once with my sisters early in the week, and then again with my friend and her two kids at the end of the week.
We arrived at the Truckee River Rafting check-in in Tahoe City at 2:15pm with a carload of people ready to raft the might Truckee River. We pulled into the parking lot and greeted the parking attendant who looked at me and said, "Weren't you just here the other day," to which I answered, "Yes, and I brought a new group with me this time."
I sat there perplexed wondering why the guy remembered me. Was I obnoxious last time? Did I have toilet paper stuck to my shoe? Why would the guy remember me out of the hundreds of people that come through that parking lot every day?
We parked the car, grabbed some life vests and piled into the boat to drift down the river.
About halfway through the float a group of 20-something rafters came up alongside our boat and started a conversation. One of the drunken shirtless men in the boat looked at me and asked, "Are you Annika Sorenstam?"
For those of you who don't know, Annika Sorenstam is a very well-known professional golfer. I knew who she was, but I had no idea how much I actually look like her.
Is this uncanny or what!?
I wore that Titleist hat on both rafting trips. I wore no makeup, which made me look even more like Annika.
When I told my sister Tracy, a big golf fan, what happened, she said, "They obviously aren't big golf fans, because if they were they'd know that Annika is sponsored by Callaway not Titleist."
So, now I know why the guys at the rafting drop off remembered me. They thought I was Annika Sorenstam!
Note: Annika actually has a place in Tahoe. I am also now the proud owner of a Callaway visor thanks to my friend Janet.

Buddy Holly and Waylon Jennings-owned 1958 Ariel Cyclone heads to auction

Anyone who has followed music in the last 60 years knows the story of Buddy Holly's demise in February 1959, along with the fact that country singer Waylon Jennings had given up his seat on that fated plane, ultimately saving his life and leading to the death of J.P "Big Bopper" Richardson. Perhaps riding on the wave of interest in celebrity-owned motorcycles, as evidenced in the recent $100,000 selling price of a Steve McQueen-owned Harley-Davidson in Monterey, the estate of Waylon Jennings has scheduled a Jennings memorabilia auction that includes a 1958 Ariel Cyclone purchased by Buddy Holly in the months before his death.
The bike was purchased at Ray Miller's Triumph Motorcycle Sales in Dallas, Texas, on May 13, 1958, at the end of The Crickets 1958 tour. Buddy Holly had owned Triumphs earlier in life and was an enthusiastic motorcyclist, and the Ariel Cyclone was among the highest-performance motorcycles of the day. Two other band members, Joe Maudlin and Jerry Allison (also avid riders), bought new Triumphs from the same dealer that same day.

The 1958 Ariel Cyclone is a somewhat rare bike; only 200 of the Cyclones were built with the twin-cylinder 650-cc Huntsmaster engine. It is not known how many miles Buddy Holly put on the bike before his death, but the Ariel stayed in possession of his father until 1970, when it was sold. Although Jennings was not a member of the band when the bike was purchased (he had signed on as a bass guitar player later that year and was working with Holly on his Winter Dance Party Tour when the plane went down), Jennings remained close to the other surviving members of The Crickets. In 1979, Joe Maudlin and Jerry Allison located and purchased the bike from its previous owner, and it was presented to Jennings as a 42nd birthday present while he was on his own concert tour.
The maroon and black Cyclone still shows just 4,000 original miles on the odometer and has been well-preserved. Jennings died of complications from his long-term struggle with diabetes in February 2002, and the bike is part of the singer's estate being offered by his estate executor, widow and country singer in her own right, Jessi Coulter. It (and several thousand other pieces of Waylon Jennings memorabilia) will be sold by Guernsey's Auction House on October 5 at a special auction at the Musical Instrument Museum in Phoenix, Arizona.
The live auction will take place in two sessions on Sunday, October 5, beginning at 1:00 p.m. If you cannot make it to the museum, absentee bidding by telephone or Internet bidding can be arranged. For additional information, or to order pre-auction catalogs of the entire collection, visit Guernseys.com.
Hundred-year-old Henderson motorcycle headed to auction
Photos courtesy Bonhams.
Next Sunday, April 27, Bonhams will once again offer a number of rare, vintage and collector motorcycles and parts at the Spring Stafford Sale at Staffordshire County Showground in Stafford, Great Britain. Trophies, posters, memorabilia and even some newer motorcycles are included in the auction list. A total of 184 bikes are being offered as of press time, with two early unrestored Hendersons and a 1914/15 Ariel 5-6-hp with coachbuilt sidecar expected to stir the most interest. Here are just a few that caught our eye from the catalog:
1937 BSA 349cc B24 Empire Star. 1937 marked the first year of the Val Page-designed BSA single-cylinder 350-cc engines. The B24 Empire Star, the B25 Competition and the B26 Star all received the overhead-valve engine with rear-mounted magneto, while the B23 models used a 350-cc sidevalve design. The Empire Star also had a foot-controlled four-speed transmission. All four of the 1937 models were short-lived, gone by 1940. The Empire Star is estimated pre-auction to sell between $5,000 and $6,700.
1925 Excelsior Ladies Model. Here is an Excelsior bike you don't see too often, the Ladies Model. Contrary to the tall, straight spine on the larger-displacement Excelsiors, this dropped-frame version was unique to this model and thought to be more comfortable for women. The bike was originally equipped with a Villiers two-stroke 147-cc engine; however, this example has since been refitted with a JAP sidevalve engine. You may have seen this particular bike before at another Bonhams sale back in 2010. It is expected to bring between $6,400 and $8,100 when all is said and done.
1962 Ariel 247-cc Super Sports Golden Arrow. This Golden Arrow was in storage for over 30 years before being restored by its third and current owner. It has only three miles on the clock since restoration and is expected to bring bids of $4,200 to $6,700.
1963 Aermacchi 248-cc Ala d'Oro racing motorcycle. The Aermacchi Ala D'oro is said to be powered by the most successful and highly developed 250-cc single-cylinder racing engine ever developed. Although not a winner at Isle of Man, it enjoyed a successful racing career at many other venues in the early Sixties. This bike was restored by the Sammy Miller Museum and is race-ready, should you get the urge to take it out on the track. Bids are expected at north of $9,000.
1914 Henderson Model C. Stored for more than 40 years in a private collection in Norway, the 1914 "long frame" Model C has the 65-inch wheelbase and could well hit an estimated six figures for someone who can envision the finished restoration project that the current owner once saw, but never executed. It sports a 57-cubic-inch inline-four and two-speed transmission housed at the rear wheel.
1917 Henderson Model D. The Model D was a short-frame, 58-inch-wheelbase Henderson and comes from the same Norwegian collection as the Model C. Though slightly less desirable than its Model C predecessor, this example has the three-speed transmission mounted to the engine, leading us to believe a Model G inline-four may have been transplanted at one time. The Model D could still draw attention at the bargain price estimates of $25,000 to $34,000.
1914/15 Ariel 5-6hp with coachbuilt sidecar. Found in the basement of a dealership in Aberdeen by its new owners, the bike was purchased in 1964 when it was brought in to be serviced, and has sat as you see it since that time. The engine is an AKD 670-cc V-Twin, the largest of three displacements offered in 1915. This tandem is expected to gavel at over $24,000.
Other offerings include small-displacement scoots from James, Francis Barnett, Maserati, and Dunnelt, with classic larger bikes from Henley-Blackburne, Triumph, BSA, Vincent and Norton as well as a pair of 1920s Douglases. Several new bikes are also up for grabs, including a 1989 Ducati 888-cc Lucchinelli replica racing motorcycle still in the original crate. The auction will take place in the Sandylands Centre at the Staffordshire County Showgrounds. For more information, visit Bonhams.com.
WWII Indian motorcycle among offerings at Mid America's Pebble Beach auction
Photos courtesy Mid America Auctions
At its third annual Pebble Beach Motorcycle Marketplace event this weekend, Mid America Auctions will present more than 100 motorcycles, scooters and pedal cars. Some of the bikes offered are previous award winners from nationally judged shows and some are extremely rare as well. Among the lots at the sale include the 1944 Indian 841 military bike above, one of 1,100 built for the war effort. The 841 used a 750cc transverse-mounted side-valve engine and shaft-drive transmission, and troops preferred the ride to the Harley-Davidson military bikes. The arrival of the Jeep pretty much put Indian out of the military motorcycle supply business, however. Other lots include:
1910 Winchester belt drive – this was one of the 200 bikes commissioned the the Winchester Rifle Company to be built by the Merry Company between 1909 and 1911. This restored bike is thought to be the only one in existence by the owner.
1932 Ariel square four OHC – a pair of parallel twin OHC cylinders that were mounted side by side, and used a common four-cylinder monobloc and single cylinder head. This engine design was first presented, and rejected, by BSA, but adopted by Ariel in 1928. You can see the right-mounted shift lever for the four-speed transmission on the side of the fuel tank.
1939 BMW R12 – 16hp side-valve engine and one of the first bikes to feature the updated BMW "star" frame. This reinforced frame was designed to be strong enough to handle heavy sidecars, a necessity for the pending war.
1918 Smith Motor Wheel – this add-on motor propelled bicycles of its day with its own single-cylinder engine mounted on a separate solid drive wheel. The fuel tank was mounted to a bicycle fender above the wheel, and the carburetor was gravity-fed. This example is mounted to a Colson Flyer bicycle.
Other notable bikes up for bid in the Mid America Motorcycle Marketplace Auction are a 1938 Brough Superior SS80, a 1920 Harley-Davidson WJ, a 1939 Indian Sport Scout Racer, a 1911 Reading Standard Deluxe, and a 1954 Rikuo RT2- Japanese-built Harley-Davidson
Online bidding for these bikes began on Monday, check out www.midamericaauctions.com for more information.
Ariel B brings $13,000 at Mid America Rhinebeck Auction
One of the motorcycles that actually met reserve at the June 12 Mid America Auction at the Rhinebeck Fairgrounds was Lot No. 27, this meticulously restored 1927 Ariel Model B with sidecar. The 557cc side-valve single-cylinder engine had been rebuilt as part of the rehabilitation. Ariel produced several different models in 1927, designated A-E, with only the A and B models using the large-displacement engine. Models C-E used a 500cc displacement. Model B motorcycles were only offered until 1930 with the 557 engine discontinued in 1935. Designed by Val Page, the model B featured a lowered seat, shorter wheelbase and saddle-type tank, making the B a sales success as a touring bike. 1927 Ariel sales increased ten-fold over their 1925 model line because of its introduction.
Total sales from the June 12th Rhinebeck Auction were over $283,000.
Tons of Bikes at Massachusetts Auction
1972 Ducati 750 GT
According to the release we just got from J. Wood and Company, "Barr Ashcraft was a saver, and this collection will be an extraordinary
opportunity to get some rare, valuable and fun items at auction prices."
Apparently, Barr Ashcraft collected just about everything, including cars, trucks and vintage motorcycles. There are about 50 collectible motorcycles up for bid, so if its a vintage Ariel or Moto Guzzi that's got your motor running, this might be the place to pick one up.
Perhaps most enticing is the pictured 72 Ducati 750 GT. It looks to be in complete, restorable condition. We're planning on attending, so we'll let
you know what the results are.
The auction is being held Thursday and Friday, July 6th and 7th, 2006.
There's an auction preview being held on Wednesday, July 5th. For more

Trial to start Monday for Stuart man accused of vehicular homicide
STUART — The trial of a Stuart man accused of vehicular homicide in the death of an 11-year-old girl and 10 other charges is scheduled to begin Monday.
Brianna Cooper, 11, died from injuries she sustained when the Honda Accord her father was driving was broadsided on Sept. 29, 2010, by a driver who ran a red light at the intersection of Kanner Highway and Pomeroy Street, Florida Highway Patrol investigators said.
Michael Paul Opsincs, now 29, slammed his 1994 Oldsmobile 88 into Todd Cooper's 1996 Honda Civic in a "T-bone" manner and left it in two pieces, the FHP report said.
Todd Cooper was returning home with his four children about 7 p.m. after taking them to Five Guys Burgers and Fries. He was turning on a green light onto westbound Kanner Highway when the eastbound Oldsmobile failed to stop at the red light, the FHP report said.
Brianna Cooper, who was a sixth-grade student at Dr. David L. Anderson Middle School, died after being taken to Martin Memorial Hospital South in Port Salerno.
Her younger brothers, Bryce Cooper, who was 9, and twins Briley and Brandon, who were 3, sustained critical injuries, but have recovered.
The rear of the Honda also collided with a 2009 Hyundai that was westbound on Kanner Highway and stopped at the light. The driver, Kevin Bonura of Stuart, and his wife, Lisa, were injured, but not severely.
Opsincs was injured, but was treated at Martin Medical Center and released early the next morning.
The Stuart resident was arrested in February 2011, four months after the crash, when results of blood tests indicated he had oxycodone and clonazepam in his blood at the time of the crash, according to a Florida Highway Patrol report.
Oxycodone is a powerful painkiller. Clonazepam is used to control seizures and also to relieve panic attacks. It wasn't immediately clear whether Opsincs had a prescription for either.
In addition to vehicular homicide, Opsincs is charged with one count of reckless driving causing serious bodily injury, seven counts reckless driving causing damage or bodily injury, failure to register a vehicle and attaching an unassigned tag, court records show.
Lead prosecutor Nita Denton declined to discuss planned witness testimony and Assistant Public Defender Jordan Showe did not return a phone call seeking comment.
Jury selection begins Monday in Circuit Court in Martin County in Judge William Roby's courtroom. Opening arguments are slated to begin Tuesday and the case is expected to conclude Thursday.

Arrowhead Water
A division of Nestlé Waters North America. "We rigorously protect our products and our sources. We invest in land acquisitions that safely protect the precious recharge zones of our renewable spring sources, state-of-the-art monitoring systems, advanced laboratory testing devices and sophisticated bottling equipment. Because of our rigorous standards for finding and managing our springs, all of our spring water products begin with pure, natural spring water. All of our sources for water are tested for purity as they come into our plants. To ensure their continued purity from source to bottle, we further employ a comprehensive, multi-barrier system to ensure quality, which complies with all state and federal regulations. Our multiple-barrier approach involves carefully controlled filtration and disinfection processes in hygienically designed lines, supported by continuous monitoring and testing. In addition to this, we test our products for purity and consistency throughout the bottling line and in hourly tests on finished products – at least 9 per hour on every line. The controlled process and the tests assure consistency in taste, mineral content, pH and purity. In addition, our bottles are stamped with time, date, and plant codes so you can see for yourself that you're buying the freshest, safest product possible. Further assurance comes from the U.S. Food & Drug Administration, which regulates bottled water as a food, imposing guidelines for quality standards, sanitation, and even the caps we use. And our own screening process checks for even more possible contaminants than what's required by federal agencies."

Feb. 29 started out as an ordinary day for Placerville resident Wayne Schoonover.
A 57-year-old day trader with a home-based business, Schoonover was downstairs working on his computer.
"All of a sudden I noticed the mouse pointer wasn't working and my computer mouse was upside down," he said. "When I went to pick it up, I noticed that the right side of my body was numb and the radio was starting to sound 'echoey' and tinny.' "
At that point Schoonover considered that he might be having a stroke because he has a heart condition called atrial fibrillation or A-fib, which is an irregular heart beat. Though he had never had a stroke before, his cardiologist told him he was at risk of having one because A-fib can cause blood clots.
"I wondered if I could talk. But what came out sounded garbled, like Russian. Luckily I could walk so I got up to call 9-1-1 on the home phone. But initially I couldn't remember what number to call. Was it 311, 411? Finally I remembered it was 911.
"The operator immediately knew what was wrong because she asked me if I was having a stroke. All I could mumble was yes or no. Then she had me write down 'a-fib' on a piece of paper to give to the paramedics."
In five minutes they were at his door.
"I was very lucky," he said. "If I had passed out things would have turned out differently."
Once in the emergency room at Marshall Medical Center, he was treated by Dr. Alexis Lieser.
Lieser said that Schoonover was admitted with a mini stroke. But shortly after being in the hospital it worsened and he had a severe stroke. Once a CT scan and other tests confirmed that the stroke was caused by a blood clot and not a hemorrhage, they started him on a blood thinner called tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA), which dissolves blood clots.
A life saver, t-PA is also a dangerous drug because it can cause bleeding in the brain. According to Lieser, it has to be given within four and a half hours of the initial symptoms or it can't be used at all.
"But because I got in there quickly, they had time to do the tests and find out what kind of stroke I had," said Schoonover. "If a person has a stroke while asleep, there is no way to know when you actually had it. You can't give t-PA to a person unless you know when they had the stroke or the person could die from the drug. The ER doctor said they only use the t-PA drug about five times a year because most people get there too late to use it."
Schoonover said it took an hour to administer the medicine, but by the time they were finished, his speech was 90 percent back to normal and he was on his cell phone. He was numb for another five hours but then suddenly that went away as well. After three nights in the hospital, he was released.
Schoonover said two days prior to the stroke he had an A-fib attack. "It lasted all day and then stopped. I forgot about it but I think that's when the blood clot was formed.
"The doctors did a million tests afterwards and couldn't find anything," he said. "The only side effect after the stroke was being very tired for several weeks. Now it's like nothing ever happened. T-PA is a magic drug."
Both Lieser and Schoonover emphasized the importance of getting to the hospital immediately if you suspect you are having a stroke.
"A stroke cuts off the blood supply and cells in the brain actually die," said Lieser. There is permanent damage but we can save other parts of the brain if we treat the person early enough."
"I'm pretty much back to normal now," said Schoonover. "But my doctor wants me to lose 25 pounds. A-fib is a major cause of blood clots. And it's a very common disease in people 50 years of age or older. It's an electrical short in the heart. My father and sister both have A-fib. Just about everybody knows someone who has it. Generally A-fib doesn't bother me other than knowing I have it."
"A stroke is a brain attack, said Lieser. "It's the same as a heart attack. However, bleeding stroke requires a different treatment than what Wayne had. It's more complicated because people may be on medication or have had an injury. At least one person a day comes into the hospital thinking they have had a stroke. Low blood sugar is sometimes confused with a stroke.
As far as the outcome, Lieser said it depends on a person's age and condition. "It takes three months to see what is and isn't a permanent result. Make sure you get regular checkups and keep your blood pressure under control."
Lieser emphasized the importance of calling for an ambulance if a person suspects they are having a stroke. "You don't want to drive to the ER because you could pass out. If you have someone else drive you and the stroke worsens, they will have to call the paramedics from the car. It's better to call 911 so the paramedics can begin treating you immediately. The paramedics are very good in this county."
Schoonover agrees. "Don't be afraid if you think you have the symptoms. Don't deny it. Just call 911."

Major Anya Amasova
|Bond Girls Home | Bio | Pics & Clips
- American actress Barbara Bach, born in 1947.
Who she is:
- Also known as "Agent Triple X", Major Amasova is a KGB agent.
- Bond killed her lover, Sergei Barzov, while he was on a mission in Austria. She seeks revenge for this.
How she and Bond meet:
- Amasova is sent to Cairo to investigate the disappearance of a Russian nuclear submarine. She meets Bond at the Giza Pyramids whilst at a tourist light show with her contact, Aziz Fekkesh. They meet again at the Mujaba Club and trade knowledge about the missing submarine.
Defining dialogue:
- (To Bond) "Then when this mission is over, I will kill you."
How she helps to save the day:
- She accompanies Bond throughout the film.
- She brings the microfilm to her boss General Gogol at the KGB / MI6 meeting in Egypt, though, to be fair, she stole it to Bond beforehand. A sort of reminder of the ongoing Cold War competition.
- She activates the underwater mine of the Lotus while Bond and her are being chased by an enemy submarine around the Atlantis (she admits that she stole the blueprint of the Lotus a few years ago).
Bikini moment:
- Aboard the train, Amasova is seen in lingerie. At the end of the movie when she escapes from Stromberg, she's wearing a kind of typical "I'm the Bond villain. I have his girl. She will wear something sexy" outfit (a red dress in this case).
- Barbara Bach has been married to Beatle, Ringo Starr since 1981.
- Her real name is Barbara Goldbach.
- She hasn't acted since the mid-1980s.

Drew Barrymore has not only confirmed she and her husband Will Kopelman are expecting a daughter, but apparently the little bundle of joy has a nickname, too: "Chanel No.5." It originally came from Arie Kopelman, Barrymore's father-in-law and former Chanel chairman, since this baby will be his fifth grandchild. Barrymore has, reportedly, been playing along.
Like most celebrity kids' unconventional monikers (Apple, North and Olive, anyone?), Chanel No.5 is actually, well, kind of stylishly cute—as a term of endearment, of course. Barrymore is keeping mum on her thoughts for the baby's actual name (for now), but until she reveals anything, we'll be thinking up other unique names she might choose. Do you guys have any suggestions?

Kathleen Sheldon received her Ph.D. in history from UCLA in 1988 with a dissertation on "Working Women in Beira, Mozambique." Sheldon previously had completed an M.A. in African Area Studies at UCLA in 1977. Her undergraduate degree in history is from Northwestern University.
Sheldon has published articles about Mozambican history and African women's history in Signs, Women's Studies International Forum, International Journal of African Historical Studies, Lusotopie, The Canadian Journal of African Studies, History in Africa, and African and Asian Studies, as well as in collections including Writing African History (ed., John Philips), African Encounters with Domesticity (ed., Karen Tranberg Hansen), and African Novels in the Classroom (ed., Margaret Jean Hay).
Sheldon has an article forthcoming in Contesting Archives: Historians Develop Methodologies for Finding Women in the Sources (ed., Sherry Katz, Nupur Chauduri, and Mary Elizabeth Perry). She was honored to receive the Catherine Prelinger Award for independent scholars from the Coordinating Council for Women in History in 1999, and a research grant from the National Coalition of Independent Scholars in 2003.
In addition to Sheldon's primary focus on African women's history, she is editing a diary kept in 1919-1920 by Sylvia Thankful Eddy, her great-aunt, who served as a nurse missionary with the Near East Relief in Turkey. A preliminary article about Sylvia Eddy has been published as "'No more cookies or cake now, "C'est la guerre"': An American Nurse in Turkey, 1919 to 1920," Social Sciences and Missions 23, 1 (2010): 94-123. Her research thus far has been supported by two Tillie Olsen Awards from CSW (2000 and 2007).
In other projects, Sheldon is writing a textbook on African women's history, and she is the subject editor for entries on women for the Dictionary of African Biography, forthcoming from Oxford University Press.
Sheldon also edits H-Luso-Africa, a listserve on Portuguese-speaking Africa.

Workers at a Chinese zoo thought nobody would notice when they replaced a lion with a big dog. But then the dog barked. And didn't really look like a lion.
The state-run Beijing Youth Daily reports the zoo, in the People's Park of Luohe in Henan province, tried to dupe visitors when it sent away its African lion to a breeding facility. The zoo placed an employee's Tibetan mastiff dog in the lion cage, but visitors noticed the ruse when the dog started barking.
"The zoo is absolutely trying to cheat us," a visitor told Beijing Youth Daily.
Reporters investigating the zoo found more lies: "two coypu rodents in a snake's cage, a white fox in a leopard's den, and another dog in a wolf pen."
Here are some photos of Tibetan mastiff dogs, for sale near Beijing earlier this year. The dogs have become status symbols of the wealthy in China and can cost around $750,000 each. One was reportedly sold in 2011 for $1.5 million, the most expensive dog sale ever at the time. So maybe the Luohe zoo visitors should be more grateful they get to gaze upon such expensive beasts. Who needs a lion anyway?

1. I just signed up for an awesome nail polish swap at Fabulous but Evil. Pretty sure Tara is a genius, I'm quite excited to get some pretty new polish!
2. We were up to our ears in home renovations for the last few days...but the good news is that we're almost finished with our new laundry room, and I'm psyched to show you. It involves purple stripes and a chandelier and it's officially the girliest room in our house. I LOVE it.
3. I'm trying hot yoga on the 12th with Hannah. I've heard so many bloggers rave about it, and if it's truly as fantastic as you all say, I might sign up for a monthly membership. Winters are brutal here, so sweating my buns off in a sauna like yoga room sounds like it might be the best idea ever.
4. I just started the Hunger Games. I hope it's as amazing as everyone says!
5. My 30 for 30 is still going well, but I decided not to post photos. The posts related to it are usually not read or commented on, so I figure I'm boring you all.
6. I think that seeing people you know in Walgreens with your cart full of oddities is very awkward. Do you really need to see the new eyebrow grooming tool I'm buying? No. #awkward
7. Kim Kardashian's divorce is ridiculous, sad & pretty pathetic. Marriage is not something to throw around (or use as a money making ploy). I thought the media around her wedding was disgusting, and I think the media around her divorce is equally so. That's all the words I'm going to waste on that subject. :)
8. There are two link ups involving Pinterest that I've meant to join for awhile now, but I keep missing them! YHL's and the Vintage Apple's. Hopefully soon!
Back soon.
