Well Beyond the Comfort Zone: Like, Totally Megalithic
Well Beyond the Comfort Zone
Like, Totally Megalithic
Our drive back to Hillsbourough, was a trip back in time- more than the imagination could even fathom.
We started out at the Hill of Tara. Unfortunately, we didn't have cash for the tour and these remote places don't tend to take credit cards but the grounds are open to the public so we did have a chance to walk around the grounds. At first sight it really doesn't look like much, grassy mounds and depressions and a few pillar stones, but imagining life in the iron age while the little ones enjoyed the open space was magical, after all, kings were crowned on that very hill top. As the luck of the Irish would have it, not taking the tour had us arriving at the the Newgrange visitors center in time to get the very last five stickers allowing us to visit the monument. I hadn't realized, that unlike other tourist spot where you show up and join whatever is happening at the time, here they cleverly limit the number of people that visit each site. Frustrating to those behind us that day, but those stickers with the times to be at the bus stop that takes you to each of the monuments made it so that small groups could really get more out of the guided tours and the grounds of each passage tomb. The UNESCO heritage site is older than the pyramids in Egypt and Stonehenge. Like those two well known examples it proves that prehistoric doesn't necessarily mean primitive. These feats of engineering have lasted over 3000-5000 years.
We visited Knowth (rhymes with mouth) first. Not quite as large as Newgrange, this ones is much more complicated. It has two passages, east and west, and has evidence of other civilizations who unknowingly built castle courts on top this hidden tomb. Elliot, Kyra and Gavin Climbed through one of the sous terrain tunnels that only Gavin was able to walk though upright. We were also able to climb to the top of the mound and see first hand why this location would have been so desirable for a community in civilization throughout time.
Newgrange was just as impressive and dating back to the stone age made the artwork on the kerbstones that much more appreciated. We entered the passage and were able to see the corbelled roof construction. Sharing a small space in the center of a passage tomb accessible by only one narrow passage way was not for me. I left the tomb after about five minutes. Happy that I made it inside to see I was also relieved that I had left before the guide turned off the lights inside demonstrating that the tomb is only lit naturally for 17 minutes a day for two days before, after and on the solstice.

The Adventures of Spanky and Rein - 50 Summits: Spanky and Rein’s Christmas Exploits
Spanky Hangin With My God Daughter Lilly and Brother MikIf you really don't feel like reading this crap............the rest of the pics are at the end of the post.Ah……………….where to begin? First of all, we hope that everyone had a most wonderful holiday(s). Me and Spanks certainly did…………and that, my friends, is why we are here……….to tell you all about it.Ever since I can remember, I’ve been going to Toronto, Canada for Christmas, home to my aunt (mom’s sister) and my cousin and family. They are my closest family (except Spanky of course) and it just would not be Christmas without visiting them.Normal people would fly up to Canada from Florida for a Christmas visit. But………..as you have probably figured out by now………I’m not exactly normal. I drive! There is actually a little logic to it (my opinion). I make a point of visiting some of my closest friends back home (New Jersey) and I always visit the cemetery where my parents are buried (New York) along the way. Airline tickets, with multiple stopovers tend to be prohibitively expensive. And……..it goes without saying………..I don’t want to subject Spanky to the trials and tribulations of being held captive in a cage in the cargo hold of an airplane – if anyone ever did that to me……….I’d never talk to em again.Kinda makes sense? The truth is, however, when I travel, I absolutely, positively, no way, no how, want to be saddled with a detailed schedule. Airlines are funny about that stuff. They expect you to show up at specific times on specific days. That just doesn’t work for me and the Spankster. We like to show up and leave when we want to. Actually there is always a plan………..but just in case………I wanna be able to change plans, go somewhere else, get the hell out of Dodge, whatever.OK, so we rent a Honda Civic from the local Herz office. Little do they know that the car is gonna get thousands of miles thrown at it over the next couple of weeks. Why rent, you ask. Cause a Honda Civic gets more than 30 miles to a gallon, my truck gets 15 mpg at best. At today’s skyrocketing gas prices, the rental vs driving the truck is a break even proposition. Plus, with 211,000 miles on it, not sure that the truck is 100% reliable.Now, I don’t want to bore the hell out of everyone with a detailed travelogue so I’ll just kinda breeze through our itinerary. First stop, Lexington, NC where we visited our friends Jaan, Linda, and their dog Susi. Spanky and Susi had a great time frolicking in the woods – 6 acres of it! Spanks especially enjoyed the bones from the most excellent prime rib dinner offered up by our hosts.Next we headed to Waterford, VA, home of Peeter and Any and their 4 dogs. Spanky and Spike (the pit bull) spent endless hours chasing each other, wrestling, and generally running amok. I must mention that it was Peeter’s mom’s 92nd birthday on the day of our visit. That poor woman had to deal with us when we were teenagers (we were just a wee bit out of hand). It was really cool to see her.New Jersey – my home state. Spanks and I initially stayed with our friend Frank and his family. Frank’s son was in town on Christmas break from school and it just so happens that he brought his 12 week (I think) old husky pup with him. Cali (the husky) was convinced that Spanky is a chew toy – Spanky enjoyed all the attention to a point. Every once in a while he needed to escape and just chill with me and Frank.My parents and grandparents (father’s mom and dad) are buried in Kensico Cemetary in the Hamlet of Valhalla, NY. It’s a huge cemetery, first established in 1889, lots of mature trees, rolling hills, ponds, etc – actually a gorgeous setting. We Estonians actually have our own section. My folks are buried amongst some of their closest friends, fellow immigrants that escaped Soviet oppression and made a life for themselves here in the United States.I think it’s pretty cool that all these people that chose to leave their homeland, thousands of miles away, on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, are still together. Not to mention in a place called Valhalla, which in Norse mythology is a Viking burial ground. Perhaps not a coincidence?Spanky and I paid our respects to my family as well as the parents of many of my Estonian friends. We placed a wreath and lit a Christmas candle on the family grave. Spanky sat in the snow calmly while I updated the folks on our lives and took a few pics of Spanky and the headstone. Dogs are amazing! I truly believe that Spanky sensed that he was in a special place. Normally, Spanky would be bounding about like a nut in a wide open space. Nope, not at the cemetery. The boy calmly followed me around, stopped when I stopped, occasionally just sat, he knew!My pal Urmas, his mother in law, daughter Aleksa, and their dog comet (his wife Karin was at work), live down the street (so to speak) from the graveyard. They were nice enough to have us over for some home made mushroom soup – very appropriate cause it was a lousy cold day outside. We warmed up, caught up on life, gobbled down soup and bread, and headed back to NJ.Next stop, my god daughter Lilly’s house. Spanky loves it there! He is the absolute center of Lilly’s and her brother Mik’s attention. Spanky loves attention – I have no doubt spoiled him in that department. The kids just want to spend every waking (and sleeping for that matter) moment with Spanks – I think he would have stayed longer if given the choice.A major highlight of the annual Christmas pilgrimage is my friend Tiina’s annual holiday bash. I get to enjoy the privilege of hanging out with some of my oldest and dearest friends – many since childhood. Great food, excellent company, it is a holiday tradition for me – always look forward to it and always enjoy the hell out of it.Off to the great white north. The boy and I arrived in Toronto, Canada on Dec 23rd. This year the Canadians planned ahead and welcomed us with a decent covering of snow on the ground. It’s winter, there is supposed to be snow in Canada! Spanky loves snow, it offers up a whole new world of leaping about, sliding on ice, eating snow, playing fetch the snowball.Long and short of it……..Spanky and I had a great Christmas with our family (my aunt Elsa, my cousin Kati and her husband Toomas, her yungins (all growed up now) Taimi, Paul, and Allan). We went to church on Christmas Eve, we sang Christmas carols, we ate roast pork, blood sausage (sounds gross but it’s and Estonian tradition), turkey, sauerkraut, oven browned potatoes, stuffing, etc, we exchanged presents, and we sat around endlessly telling all the stories we could tell. I loved every minute of it.There is only one thing that pissed me off about the whole trip – just kidding actually. Spanky got a hell of lot more presents than I did. He has enough snacks, chew toys, and other doggy paraphernalia to last him into the next millennium. What the hell, don’t I matter anymore?Spanky got to see a couple of girlfriends; (Tibetan Terrier) Heidi – she lives next door and another chick he met in the summer named Lucky in the park – they had a nice romp running around on the snow and ice. Indoors, Spanky thoroughly enjoyed curling up next to the heat duct on my aunt’s living room floor. Oh what a life you have Spanky!Homeward bound. First stop, Cincinnati and the home of Keith & Barri, their boys Kees and Aidan, and last but not least, their doggies, Crash and Nola. Spanky has the same relationship with Crash that he has with Spike (pit from VA). They chase each other, bite each other, and wrestle endlessly, to the point that they are both so tired that they just fall down and pass out on the floor. We enjoyed an excellent stroganoff dinner, got caught up on life, ate too many cookies and other stuff, and drifted off to never never land.Atlanta – almost home. My ex wife, Helje, had us over for dinner upon our arrival in Atlanta. Somehow, as if by magic, she has learned to cook. When we were married, I did all the cooking – life just isn’t fair. Helje – please don’t take it personally – I’m just trying to get a cheap laugh.In any case, me and the boy had a really nice dinner with Helje and her kids, Heili and Mart. I give her endless credit for still talking to me. I was not exactly what you’d call a “Prince of a Guy” during our marriage. But that was then, and this is now. Glad that we could remain friends and have fun hanging out. Oh, and did I mention that Spanky, once again, was treated like gold.Me and the Spankster stayed with my friend Tom in Atlanta. The weather sucked (pouring rain) so we just chilled, watched some football, and went out to gobble down some Thai food. Tom, if you remember from previous posts, has provided me, and now Spanks and me, with roadside lodging since the early 90’s. We certainly appreciate it.That’s about it for the ’07 Christmas Extravaganza. Me and Spanks are busy trying to peddle our book here in Saint Pete, Fl. We have a few irons in the fire (Borders, PetSmart) and hopefully something will hit. Actually we’ve been reasonably successful selling our silly chronicles and we’d like, once again, to thank all of you for your support of our endeavor.Hope ’08 brings lots of good health and happiness to all!Spanky and Rein Me and Spanks Prepare for Some Excavating In NCCali The Husky Pup Tries To Eat SpankySpanky Dutifully Guards The Family Grave SiteThe Boy Attacks One Of His Hundreds Of PresentsNew Years Day Back In FL
Spanky-Thanks for the update, it sounds like you and Rein had a nice hoilday.Tell me, did Rein get you any BBQ in NC?Your friend,Ron
Ron,No BBQ but some most excellent Prime Rib!!Happy New Year,Spanky and Rein
Thanks Rein I enjoyed the update. Have a Happy and Safe New Year!!!!Love and Peace Always, Kelly
Kelly,Thanks - peace, love, and happiness!Spanky and Rein
Glad you had a great holiday trip. We spent time in NY & NJ also for the holidays. Were back in Las Vegas for New Years.Spanky deserves all the gifts. What else could you want?Tom & Marie
Hei Rein!Glad we got together and were able to shoot the breeze for a while on your NJ leg of the trip.Good to hear the rest of the trip went well, wishing you and Spanks a Happy New Year.Toomas
Always good to have you two guys in FL. Sounds like a splended time was shared by all, if I spelled anything wrong, to bad. Have a healthy and happy new year. Rick
Love the Holiday pictures, but so glad to have you two home...love ya
That Spanky sure was a cute little fellow when we found him. Wish I had got his sister, but I am busy with Bear, Georgia, and a new companion that I rescued, Roxie the parrot. Sounds like you had a great time with your travels-keep moving forward.anonymous

AWS CodePipeline Actions — AWS Cloud Development Kit 1.56.0 documentation
AWS CodePipeline Actions¶
--- ![cdk-constructs: Stable](https://img.shields.io/badge/cdk--constructs-stable-success.svg?style=for-the-badge) ---
import aws_cdk.aws_codepipeline_actions as codepipeline_actions
AWS CodeCommit¶
repo = codecommit.Repository(self, "Repo")
pipeline = codepipeline.Pipeline(self, "MyPipeline",
pipeline_name="MyPipeline"
source_action = codepipeline_actions.CodeCommitSourceAction(
action_name="CodeCommit",
repository=repo,
pipeline.add_stage(
actions=[source_action]
variables_namespace="MyNamespace"
"value": source_action.variables.commit_id
If you want to use a GitHub repository as the source, you must create:
A GitHub Access Token
A Secrets Manager PlainText Secret with the value of the GitHub Access Token. Pick whatever name you want (for example my-github-token) and pass it as the argument of oauthToken.
# Read the secret from Secrets Manager
source_action = codepipeline_actions.GitHubSourceAction(
action_name="GitHub_Source",
oauth_token=cdk.SecretValue.secrets_manager("my-github-token"),
branch="develop", # default: 'master'
trigger=codepipeline_actions.GitHubTrigger.POLL
"COMMIT_URL": {
"value": source_action.variables.commit_url
Note: you have to manually connect CodePipeline through the AWS Console with your BitBucket account. This is a one-time operation for a given AWS account in a given region. The simplest way to do that is to either start creating a new CodePipeline, or edit na existing one, while being logged in to BitBucket. Choose BitBucket as the source, and grant CodePipeline permissions to your BitBucket account. Copy & paste the Connection ARN that you get in the console, or use the ``codestar-connections list-connections` AWS CLI operation <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/codestar-connections/list-connections.html>`_ to find it. After that, you can safely abort creating or editing the pipeline - the connection has already been created.
source_action = codepipeline_actions.BitBucketSourceAction(
action_name="BitBucket_Source",
owner="aws",
connection_arn="arn:aws:codestar-connections:us-east-1:123456789012:connection/12345678-abcd-12ab-34cdef5678gh"
source_bucket = s3.Bucket(self, "MyBucket",
versioned=True
pipeline = codepipeline.Pipeline(self, "MyPipeline")
source_action = codepipeline_actions.S3SourceAction(
action_name="S3Source",
bucket=source_bucket,
bucket_key="path/to/file.zip",
By default, the Pipeline will poll the Bucket to detect changes. You can change that behavior to use CloudWatch Events by setting the trigger property to S3Trigger.EVENTS (it’s S3Trigger.POLL by default). If you do that, make sure the source Bucket is part of an AWS CloudTrail Trail - otherwise, the CloudWatch Events will not be emitted, and your Pipeline will not react to changes in the Bucket. You can do it through the CDK:
import aws_cdk.aws_cloudtrail as cloudtrail
key = "some/key.zip"
trail = cloudtrail.Trail(self, "CloudTrail")
trail.add_s3_event_selector([source_bucket.arn_for_objects(key)],
read_write_type=cloudtrail.ReadWriteType.WRITE_ONLY
bucket_key=key,
trigger=codepipeline_actions.S3Trigger.EVENTS
"value": source_action.variables.version_id
AWS ECR¶
import aws_cdk.aws_ecr as ecr
source_action = codepipeline_actions.EcrSourceAction(
action_name="ECR",
repository=ecr_repository,
image_tag="some-tag", # optional, default: 'latest'
"IMAGE_URI": {
"value": source_action.variables.image_uri
Build & test¶
repository = codecommit.Repository(self, "MyRepository",
repository_name="MyRepository"
project = codebuild.PipelineProject(self, "MyProject")
build_action = codepipeline_actions.CodeBuildAction(
action_name="CodeBuild",
outputs=[codepipeline.Artifact()]
codepipeline.Pipeline(self, "MyPipeline",
stages=[{
"stage_name": "Source",
"actions": [source_action]
"stage_name": "Build",
"actions": [build_action]
test_action = codepipeline_actions.CodeBuildAction(
action_name="IntegrationTest",
type=codepipeline_actions.CodeBuildActionType.TEST
source_output1 = codepipeline.Artifact()
source_action1 = codepipeline_actions.CodeCommitSourceAction(
action_name="Source1",
repository=repository1,
output=source_output1
source_output2 = codepipeline.Artifact("source2")
source_action2 = codepipeline_actions.CodeCommitSourceAction(
action_name="Source2",
repository=repository2,
output=source_output2
action_name="Build",
input=source_output1,
extra_inputs=[source_output2
codepipeline.Artifact("artifact1"), # for better buildspec readability - see below
codepipeline.Artifact("artifact2")
project = codebuild.PipelineProject(self, "MyProject",
"artifact1": {},
"artifact2": {}
The CodeBuild action emits variables. Unlike many other actions, the variables are not static, but dynamic, defined in the buildspec, in the ‘exported-variables’ subsection of the ‘env’ section. Example:
action_name="Build1",
project=codebuild.PipelineProject(self, "Project",
"exported-variables": ["MY_VAR"
"commands": "export MY_VAR="some value""
"value": build_action.variable("MY_VAR")
jenkins_provider = codepipeline_actions.JenkinsProvider(self, "JenkinsProvider",
provider_name="MyJenkinsProvider",
server_url="http://my-jenkins.com:8080",
If you’ve registered a Jenkins provider in a different CDK app, or outside the CDK (in the CodePipeline AWS Console, for example), you can import it:
jenkins_provider = codepipeline_actions.JenkinsProvider.import(self, "JenkinsProvider",
build_action = codepipeline_actions.JenkinsAction(
action_name="JenkinsBuild",
jenkins_provider=jenkins_provider,
project_name="MyProject",
type=codepipeline_actions.JenkinsActionType.BUILD
# Source stage: read from repository
repo = codecommit.Repository(stack, "TemplateRepo",
repository_name="template-repo"
source_output = codepipeline.Artifact("SourceArtifact")
source = cpactions.CodeCommitSourceAction(
action_name="Source",
trigger=cpactions.CodeCommitTrigger.POLL
source_stage = {
"actions": [source]
# Deployment stage: create and deploy changeset with manual approval
stack_name = "OurStack"
change_set_name = "StagedChangeSet"
prod_stage = {
"stage_name": "Deploy",
cpactions.CloudFormationCreateReplaceChangeSetAction(
action_name="PrepareChanges",
stack_name=stack_name,
change_set_name=change_set_name,
admin_permissions=True,
template_path=source_output.at_path("template.yaml"),
run_order=1
cpactions.ManualApprovalAction(
action_name="ApproveChanges",
run_order=2
cpactions.CloudFormationExecuteChangeSetAction(
action_name="ExecuteChanges",
run_order=3
codepipeline.Pipeline(stack, "Pipeline",
stages=[source_stage, prod_stage
If you want to deploy your Lambda through CodePipeline, and you don’t use assets (for example, because your CDK code and Lambda code are separate), you can use a special Lambda Code class, CfnParametersCode. Note that your Lambda must be in a different Stack than your Pipeline. The Lambda itself will be deployed, alongside the entire Stack it belongs to, using a CloudFormation CodePipeline Action. Example:
lambda_stack = cdk.Stack(app, "LambdaStack")
lambda_code = lambda.Code.from_cfn_parameters()
lambda.Function(lambda_stack, "Lambda",
code=lambda_code,
# other resources that your Lambda needs, added to the lambdaStack...
pipeline_stack = cdk.Stack(app, "PipelineStack")
pipeline = codepipeline.Pipeline(pipeline_stack, "Pipeline")
# add the source code repository containing this code to your Pipeline,
# and the source code of the Lambda Function, if they're separate
cdk_source_output = codepipeline.Artifact()
cdk_source_action = codepipeline_actions.CodeCommitSourceAction(
repository=codecommit.Repository(pipeline_stack, "CdkCodeRepo",
repository_name="CdkCodeRepo"
action_name="CdkCode_Source",
output=cdk_source_output
lambda_source_output = codepipeline.Artifact()

How are my MLB/NFL fantasy teams? (Only 2 teams that I need help with)? | Yahoo Answers

How are my MLB/NFL fantasy teams? (Only 2 teams that I need help with)?
Ok here is my MLB, 5th place, newly made with 2 trades.
Brian Robberts
Now for my NFL team which I think I'm short of some players.
Patrik Crayton
Definately need help with my NFL team!
I'm actually in 5th place in my fantasy baseball league. But with my new team that probably would change as I made major moves this week.
For football, I don't really know. It's my 3rd team and my 2nd one is way better than that. Havent drafted in my 1st team yet so yeah. Ill try to trade away Parker for a better WR.
The two above clearly don't really know what they are talking about. No offense, but that MLB team is great. Good catcher, 1st basemen, 2nd. 3rd, SS (even though he's kinda slumping), 3rd and the OF is pretty good, but not great. Only problem is the OF I would say but even that isn't all that bad...you still have Hunter, Ankiel, Guillen...etc. Your pitching is also pretty phenominal too. I mean, a lineup with the King, Dukes, Peavy, Lackey, Hudson, Sanchez....wow....that's a solid *** team. And once everyone gets healthy, you'll reep. You must be at least the first, second or third best team in your league.
However, I can poke holes in your NFL team....but only slightly. You have a stud QB....no point in even getting into that (a better backup would have been nice, but it's Peyton...you'll be fine). Your WR's are solid, but not top tier and I at least like one top tier WR on my team....like a Housh/Andre/Fitz type. Plaxico is pretty much that for you and he's ehhhh....he's good....but not great. Ward was unfaithful to Big Ben last season and Ben found a new favorie target in Santonio Holmes, so that pick was ehhh too. Curtis could be good, but then there's always the "everything" machine that Westbrook is and the injury prone McNabb...so also another iffy situation. Your backup WR's arent great....but alright. Moss is the only really useable one (Engram too old, Crayton secondary to TO...etc.) Your TE situation is fine, Gonzalez is a nice choice and you have Olsen to back, again nice.
Now your RB's. I like Barber....but I'm scared that this season will become a replica of last season (no 1000 yards for Barber) because of the addition of Felix Jones to back him up. That could be a problem for you. Parker could be an even bigger problem for you however. Who knows how he's coming back this season....we all hope it's fine....but if Mendenhall was picked....we can only pray. You have a talented backup in Forte....so it's alright. If possible try to get Felix Jones and Mendenhall as handcuffs to your RB's.
DST....I dont trust Chicago, but they are definately a solid unit and I guess you must feel something for them as well (Robbie Gould).
Hope I helped. Good Luck.... :)

Im not good with fantasy baseball. This is my first year playing fantasy baseball, so I cant help you there.
But im a seasoned vet in fantasy football. I like your team. The only thing i would recommend you do is try to pick up another running back via trade. If you can, ship willie parker off. I might be sleeping on parker because of the steelers drafting mendenhall, but i don't like his situation. He probably won't get too many goal line carries. Other than that, i like your team.
I kinda like your football team. Engram will be the #1 in Sea. and will probably end up in many of your starting line-ups. Forte should start and be the main back in Chi. I like Crayton and Olsen as well. If Warner gets in Ariz. line-up he will be huge and great trade-bait for a #2 WR for you. (Curtis and Ward are weak) Good Luck in the play-offs.
now how the hell did you get all of those players on your football team? thats a dream team! you must not have a draft...
ur mlb team only has 5 good people but your nfl team will kill

Where are we now?: Making plans....
To some select few I have confessed my initial reaction to Greg driving up in "Winnie" for the first time. Since I am over it now, I feel I can write about it. So here it is...
We'd been waiting for 2 days. And here he comes.... daddy driving down our street with what will be our home for a full year starting in June. The headlights appear. "There he is!! Goooooo daddy!" and then he pulls closer, and we are able to see the height and width of the thing. "NOOOOO, that can't be him!! That's a truck!!" But it was him.
And then, the joy of stepping inside!! Its clean! Its new!! Its....
...what the ^%#$@&^>>!? are we doing?? This thing is wayyyy too small. There is no way we can live in here... The walls started closing in on me, and I was finding it hard to breathe. I watched the kids find their bears with joy.... even enjoyed the apple pie... all while on the inside, I thought I was going to puke.....
I later decided to call it "cold wheels", and though it resurfaces its doubtful little head every now and then, for the most part, it has passed.
It is cozy, comfortable, cute, and most importantly... it is MOBILE!!
Since then we have managed a few successful test runs, bought a camp membership, and are making plans. The fear has subsided and excitement and reality are setting in. I am also learning new planning skills that I never knew existed!! (or ever thought would need.) For now, lord willing, the plans are like this:
June 16 departure. Easy, non-panic cruise thru Washington and Idaho.
June 18-20 Glacier National Park, Montana
June 21-22 Rolla, North Dakota
June 23 Makinaw Island, Michigan
June 24-25 St. Clair, Michigan
June 26-27 Cedar Point and Kenisee Lake, Ohio
June 28 Pittsburgh Pirates, 1:35
June 29-Aug.7 Gallaudet (DC)
Aug 7-9 Chestnut Lake, New Jersey
Aug 11-18 Portland, Maine
Aug 19-26 Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland
Aug 27-Sept 13 Portland/Baxter State Park/ Bar Harbor, Maine
Sept 14-21 Boston, MA
Sept 22-24 New Hampshire/Vermont/Adirondack Mts (NY)
Sept 24-28 Montreal/Toronto/Niagara
Sept 29-Oct 6 Virginia Landing/Chincoteague, VA
Oct 7-14 Virginia Beach, VA
Oct 18-31 Myrtle Beach, SC
Nov 2-10 Orlando, FL
Nov 11-24 Tampa, FL
Nov 28-Dec. 21 Ft. Lauderdale, FL with a Bahamas cruise somewhere in there....
And don't forget that you are invited to tag along on any part of the trip. Winnie has a guest bed that folds down, or bring along a tent!!
May the Lord be the wind beneath our wings and the air within our tires!! HUGS

"You must be the change you want to see in the world.": 2009.05
Geez can you believe it’s nearly June and I still haven’t updated? Sorry ;) Truth is, I started an update a while back but never got around to finishing and posting it. I was supposed to go to a COS conference this week, but whatever-the-politically-correct-acronym-for-that-pig flu has hit Ecuador and thus our travel has been restricted. Good for me because I didn’t really want to travel all that way anyway and good for you because you finally get an update. Not so good, however, for the folks with the flu I guess.
So…despite the circumstances, the trip to the US was nice. It was good to spend time with family as time with family and friends is the only thing I really consider a sacrifice in PC. I’ve always loved the time I’ve spent in Fredericksburg, and it was nice to visit San Antonio as well.
I arrived in Zapotillo at an obscenely early hour on Good Friday (April 10). Easter was pleasant but rather uneventful. The kids and I painted easter eggs Ecua-style with brown eggs and colored pencils. I had some photos of this but I can’t seem to find them now.
Then back to work as usual on Monday. I started back at work in the office with a market study for palo santo essential oil. I made fairly good progress on it, considering that the only resource I had was dialup internet for two hours (on a good day) during lunch. The palo santo is a tree that is native to regions near here and the reserve has about 3000 hectares of land full of the trees, from which they pick up to 52.8 (out of an available 37,500) quintales of fruit during the annual harvest, which takes place in march/april. The locals are paid for their work and the fruit is sent to the city to extract the essential oils. Up to about 50kg of the oil can be produced annually and a portion of what is sold goes to the community bank as a bonus.
The next week I tagged along for measuring (with GPS) some land in order to legalize the community member’s property, charging only the processing costs charged by the government. I admire my work partners in the great progress and successes they’ve had over the years in this work because it is extremely tedious, the worst of the struggle being getting the people to understand that you are doing them a huge favor. The dudes wouldn’t let me walk around to measure the land so I mostly got to sit and chat with the locals, which is always a learning experience. Oh well, one day they’ll teach me GPS too.
04.5 Work Partners napping after a loooong day of measuring land
Other April happenings in-town included a friend’s daughter’s birthday party, elections, a week of protesting alleged election fraud and burning tires, and re-elections.
Portrait of me, compliments of Sayra ;)
Then we started work on a trail…the guys who are used to me let me help make the stairs, saw, use a machete, etc. Our first stair model was like this:
…to which I said, this is never going to last a rainy season let’s put some boards in and the guys said no, that’s a lot of work. The next week at work the boss (without my mention) said we needed to make the stairs more permanent. HAH. So my model got implemented, though I wouldn’t dream of getting credit for it. All that matters is that the stairs outlast cows, goats, and RAIN.
In early May I went out of town with a work partner for a workshop in Rainforest Alliance certification, which is basically a broad, yet flexible, socially-responsible, international certification for agricultural products. All of the other participants worked in coffee or cocoa production and we went on a fieldtrip to a cocoa farm and processing plant, so it was really cool to learn something completely new.
And then my work partner and I took advantage of some free time to explore Guayaquil. I didn’t take many pictures because it is supposedly very dangerous there, but the iguana park was too cool not to photograph.
On May 13th some visitors came from the US, a representative from the US branch of NCI and a representative from the San Diego Zoo. They wanted to get to know the forests because they are interested in maybe doing species conservation work here. I really hope they follow through on it, it could be a great partnership.
On May 15th we had an in-office workshop about ethics and values. It was cool, but very long. I made cinnamon rolls, so at least I contributed something...
Other recent, random news: Ecuavolley tournament in town. Ecuavolley is like volleyball, except not cool. My friend Stefanie got a puppy. Oh and my cool new camera allows me to take cool new pictures of all the cool (not new) stuff around here. Sit back and be amazed…I think they’re self-explanatory.

Jo-Ann's Creations, Trials & Tribulations!: I can't believe.....
Just a quick share! I'm trying, slowly but surely, to get some stuff in order. For instance, on my list for today is "unloading" dishes, china, etc. from my mom which I know my son will never use. I have gotten extensive use out of the china as before I opened the store I never let a week go by when I wasn't entertaining at home. The china definitely got used.
Desert Rose - Francescan Ware
Florentine Gold - Wedgewood
Years ago there used to be a place in Pickering and another in Scarborough that bought and sold "old" china patterns. I have tried calling these places and contacting these places to no avail. The second hand stores here are not interested as they have an overflow of these things, on top of which, there pricing is based on the seller receiving 60% of the sale price which they continue to reduce as it sits on the shelves. At the end of the day - you get nothing. I would rather give it away then settle for this.
In order to "unload" it I have gotten in touch with Replacement China Ltd. in North Carolina. This of course, requires that I pack it and send it to them. They are an extremely reputable company and I am awaiting their Offer To Purchase which will give me an idea of how much each of the pieces are worth. Of course, this will also require me to repack the boxes and there will be shipping costs so we will have to see if it will be worth the effort. It is nothing less than frustrating.
You know, it's funny. My mother collected all kinds of items which she thought to be "an investment". China, artwork, books, some antique items, etc. and of course, when she passed away (3 years ago today) I inherited all of this. I only took the things that I thought would be "worth" something and yet it appears that in 2013, these things are worth very little. Is it the economic climate we live in or is it just that everyone has changed their tastes?!?!
I need to get this china outta here so I can make room for my ironing board LOL. I need to get back to quilting and I really need my pressing corner......
Aside from the fact that I could really use the cash for the dishes rather than the dishes themselves, I could really use the room......
I am going back to organizing and getting stuff together so I can make some much needed space as well as get back to what I love doing...
P.S. - If anyone is interested in these dishes - don't hesitate to let me know!!!
Debbie TanovichSeptember 19, 2013 at 6:24 PMFound the same thing when I tried getting rid of my mom's stuff. What was worth something is now worth very little. I tried a company called TJ Traders, they bought a fair amount and gave me a fair price, not a great one but a fair one. There is also a place called the Singing Lady down on the Queensway near Royal York Road (right near the Costco). She can be particular but may take some of the stuff. Talk to you soonReplyDeleteAdd commentLoad more...
Label It!!!!
Finally - on a roll!

Longest Commute Yet
Yesterday morning I put my bike in the truck and rode with Rose to her work and then continued on my bike the rest of the way to work. As I mentioned in a earlier post, my commute went from ten miles to over seventeen and I normally don’t have enough hours in the day to make the commute. Yesterday was an exception because Rose wanted to go to her aerobics class after work so I was on my own to get home. I talked to my boss and arranged to come in early and take a short lunch so I could leave a little earlier.
When I was leaving that morning I talked to my neighbor and mentioned what I was doing and he thought I was crazy. “It’s supposed to be 95 degrees today.” he said. He even offered to give me his number if I got into trouble but I really didn’t think my bike was going to fit in his Corvette.
I was out of work and on the road just after 4:15. The weather was hot but after being cooped up inside all day I was happy to be out. I rode the familiar route home and stopped at Rose’s office for a few minutes to stretch my legs and then I headed home. This time I was riding a new route and didn’t know what to expect.
From Rose’s office I had a few routes to choose from and I chose the most direct. It is seven miles west on a very busy road. The first few miles have no bike lane so, for safety, I chose to ride on the sidewalk. At least I thought it was safe but not long after getting on the sidewalk I was again struck by the curse of the clipless pedals. My front tire went off the edge of the sidewalk and the lip was to big to steer it back on so I tipped to the left. It was no big deal and putting my left foot out would have prevented a fall but I couldn’t unclip fast enough and down I went.
My bike after fall.
The rest of the ride was uneventful except for a hill that seemed to never end. I kept thinking, “This is Florida, it’s supposed to be flat.” It really showed how spoiled I have been and how I really needed this challenge. Of course, the greatest part about a hill is that there is always a downside, and by that I mean an upside.
I made it home just after 6:30. As I was turning into my driveway I waved to my neighbor who was pulling out in his Corvette. What a great ride. I want to do it again but I don’t want to push my luck and try to leave early too often.

A Great Counterpart to Cycling
Long before I started cycling regularly I walked during my lunch break. I enjoyed getting out but it was not the ideal way for me to get exercise. It was only 30 minutes a day and I had to stop for a while during the hottest days of summer. In addition, I was not able to relax during my lunch break.
Cycling solved those problems. I quadrupled my exercise time and I was able to do it without sacrificing my lunch break. I was also able to ride during the hot summer months because instead of being out at mid-day, I was riding in the morning and late afternoon. I also get more breeze while riding than I did while walking.
It is not perfect, however, because I am not getting an upper body workout. My wife goes to an aerobics class a few times a week where they get a more complete workout. That is not for me but I do need to supplement my bike riding with something different from time to time. This weekend I found a great counterpart to my cycling routine: kayaking.
Since we live on the water again we thought kayaks would be fun to have, so Saturday morning we bought a couple of kayaks and as soon as we got them home we put our swimsuits on and put the kayaks in the water.
Me stuck on a sand bar.
Sitting in the kayak was somewhat like riding my recumbent bike but instead of using my legs I was using my arms to propel myself forward. I am embarrassed to say this but Rose blew me away on paddling. My arms were tired after five minutes but I pushed on. Fortunately we hit a sandbar halfway to Caladesi Island and I was able to get out and walk for a while while my arms rested.
The best part about kayaking is, besides the exercise, it is fun, so I believe I will stick with it like I have with my bicycle. Hopefully, at least once a week, we will actually put them in the water. I know that once a week is not consistent enough to develop a strong upper body but it is one more time a week than I was doing it.
My only other problem is replacing my alternative exercise with another alternative when winter arrives, but I am not going to concern myself with that now.
This entry was posted in exercise and tagged cycling counterpart, exercise, kayaking, upper body workout on June 17, 2013 by Charles Huss.
It has been an entire month since my last post. Where does the time go? Rose and I have been busy with a move. First it was searching for a new place, then , since what we found is smaller, we had to spend time weeding out stuff to be donated. After that it was two weeks of packing and another week of unpacking and we still aren’t done.
We moved back to Dunedin. For me, it is the fourth time I have moved to this small city. Every time I leave, something keeps pulling me back. It is a great place to live, especially where we are, just a half mile from the Pinellas Trail, which is a 47 mile linear park built on an abandoned railroad corridor. It runs mostly north and south throughout the entire county. My path to work is east to west so I will use it for weekend rides with my wife if we can ever find her a bike that she is happy with.
Another benefit of the new place is that I can keep my bike on the screened patio. Our last place had a screened patio that was too small and had no extra room for a bicycle. Consequently, I had to maneuver it through the front door to the right and then immediately to the left and into a long, narrow closet. It was difficult to do without scratching the door frame. I also got a lot of static from Rose about getting the carpet dirty. Now I just need to find a cover for it.
The problem I face now is that we moved seven miles in the opposite direction from my work, which takes my ride from 10 miles to 17 miles. I am up to the challenge and would welcome a longer ride but the problem is time. My wife, as a manager, works many hours more than I do so I have many responsibilities at home that include taking care of the cats, making coffee, breakfast, etc. An extra 14 miles a day would take away another 90 minutes from an already cramped schedule.
Fortunately, we traded our car in for a truck the same day that we moved (It was a busy day). For now, I plan on putting the bike in the truck and driving to Rose’s work and then I will ride to my job from there. I will reverse the process on the way home. This leaves me dependent on Rose being ready for work early enough. Not an ideal situation but it is the best I can do for now. I welcome any other ideas.

Top positive reviewSee all 11 positive reviews› 6 people found this helpful5.0 out of 5 starsPrecision and Quality... what else would you expect but be carefulBySteve H.on June 2, 2012I've owned many watches over the years - this is my first Tissot. I'm very impressed with the design and the build quality. The watch hands feature precise movement (as you might expect). It has a nice heavy "quality" feel too but isn't too heavy like another of my watches. The heavy duty rubber watchband makes for a great sporty look and feel. Cutting the watch band for sizing is straight forward. However, this is where you need to be careful. An exact fit turned out to be too tight the first week, as the heavy rubber is constrictive by nature. I ended up having to order another watchband from Tissot (dealer). I'd suggest initially cutting the watchband larger than you need and gradually adjusting it down. Wear the watch a day or two before making the final adjustment or cut. The 3 micro-adjustment slots on the metal clasp help with the final adjustments.

But yesterday, when I found some water print in the watch(isn't a 100 meter water-proove watch?) and sent it to the autherized repaire center, I got a surprising feedback that this watch is not original but a faked one. This is not a damaged or defective thing, it's totally a fake watch!I really cound't believe Amazon will sell fake parts. I will require my money back and pls stop selling fake parts in Amzaon!55 comments|25 people found this helpful.

I'm very impressed with the design and the build quality. The watch hands feature precise movement (as you might expect). It has a nice heavy "quality" feel too but isn't too heavy like another of my watches. The heavy duty rubber watchband makes for a great sporty look and feel. Cutting the watch band for sizing is straight forward. However, this is where you need to be careful. An exact fit turned out to be too tight the first week, as the heavy rubber is constrictive by nature. I ended up having to order another watchband from Tissot (dealer). I'd suggest initially cutting the watchband larger than you need and gradually adjusting it down. Wear the watch a day or two before making the final adjustment or cut. The 3 micro-adjustment slots on the metal clasp help with the final adjustments.11 comment|6 people found this helpful.

Tissot builds a beautiful watch. After a month I still can't take it off. On the caseback is a steering wheel from a 1980's Bugatti. The strap is also based on the steering wheel. Inside the band is a tread mark. The hour markers are raise up off the watch face... all of these things are just little touches that make it so much more interesting to look at. I've received so many compliments on it as well.0Comment|Was this review helpful to you?YesNoReport abusePlease write at least one wordYou must purchase at least one item from Amazon to post a commentA problem occurred while submitting your comment.

The problem is Amazon Customer Service: 4 phone calls to learn that a full/extended warranty was only available if I purchased it from Amazon at the time of the original purchase - an option I was not even afforded at the time of purchase. For a watch of this quality, and price, Amazon should not be charging for a warranty, and should be willing to actually solve problems. Bottom line: Amazon is great for books and more routine and moderately priced items, but if you want to buy more expensive things (like a watch) you are better off going to a traditional customer service oriented store like Nordstroms. I've been a loyal Amazon (and Prime) customer for years, but this felt more like dealing with a glorified Wal Mart than a company committed to quality customer service.0Comment|2 people found this helpful.

The Rock and Roll Chemist: A Ticket, A Memory...Perhaps a Story?
I found this picture online a while back...it's an unused ticket to the Beatles' concert here in Boston at Suffolk Downs Racetrack on their final tour in 1966. This interested me for a variety of reasons:
- I'm a massive Beatles fan (duh!)
- It was here in Boston
- I've seen a concert there at Suffolk Downs (Radiohead in 2001)
But the coolest reason, for me at least, is that it reminded me that my lifelong friends' mother was at this concert! She told me about it a few times many years ago when I was a kid visiting their house, and I've always meant to ask her more details about it but never got around to it. I'm still in touch with her so perhaps I should ask her soon what her memories of the concert are. I do remember one thing she told me, which is that the screaming was *really* loud but that she had a blast. I'm willing to bet that there's an interesting story there...I think I'll go ahead and try to ask her about it sooner rather than later.

At night, when everyone had gone home, I began to look at the looms and machines and to experiment with them. That was the beginning of a vocation, a great gift that I have now also passed to my children. The two older ones work with me, weaving fine alpaca textiles.

Review: Leave Me by Gayle Forman | Books, Music, and All Things Written
I have loved Gayle Forman’s work since I read If I Stay in one sitting and then literally woke up a member of my family in the middle of the night to borrow their Kindle (which is a huge deal for me because I am anti e-reader because I’m a purist/snob and refuse to read on one) so I could immediately read Where She Went. I have also enjoyed her lesser known titles, I Was Here, Sisters In Sanity, and her popular Just One Day series. A lot of people criticized the movie adaptation of If I Stay, but I liked it. I thought it lacked the depth and some of the emotion the book evoked, but it’s hard for that to translate from page to screen.
Maribeth Klein runs her life with precision and efficiency, and has day-to-day life constantly and carefully planned out. She has a loving husband, Jason, adorable twins Oliver and Liv, and a job she enjoys at the popular magazine Frap. While she is busy living her life, she begins to experience a series of odd health symptoms that she ignores and attributes to what she ate or just the stress of her life as a working mother and wife. She continues to ignore her worsening symptoms, and goes to see her OB/GYN for her annual check up as planned. While being examined she begins to feel even worse and suddenly collapses. She’s rushed to the ER where she is told she has had a heart attack. Maribeth doesn’t understand the gravity of the situation until she is told she needs an angioplasty done immediately to open up the artery that is damaged.
While undergoing the angioplasty, things don’t go as planned, and she is quickly put under anesthesia and it’s not until she wakes up a while later that she discovers that things were worse than her doctors thought and despite being only 44, she has had open heart bypass surgery. The information leaves her reeling, and for the first time in her life she begins to wonder about her biological parents. What if what has just happened to her is hereditary and could be passed down to her own children?
After she spends the appropriate amount of time in the hospital, she comes home feeling weak, frail, and most of all, afraid. She is afraid that something will go wrong again and she will die, leaving her children and husband alone forever. Aside from the fear she feels, she begins to feel like everyone around her expects her to be up and around too quickly and they do not appreciate the toll what she has just been through has taken on her both mentally and physically.
Then the idea comes to her: what if I just leave? So without much hesitation, she does. She drains her savings account and drives to Pittsburgh where she was born and then put up for adoption, and decides it’s a good place to hide from her life and possibly search for her birth mother. She ditches her cellphone or any other means of communication, finds a furnished apartment she can rent, and for the first time for as long as she can remember, she is not under some deadline, has no one depending on her, and she relishes being able to not have to live her life scheduled to the minute.
She quickly makes friends with her young neighbors, Todd and Sunny, and starts joining their weekly trips to the market. She also tries to find a cardiologist with whom she can follow up with that won’t require her medical history and will allow her to pay in cash. After a failed attempt with one doctor, she finds Dr. Stephen Grant. She’s wary of him, his small practice, and his willingness to accept her cash payment, but finds him to be a nice and thorough doctor.
After several visits, the two become friendly and Maribeth learns more about Dr. Stephen: why he has such a small practice and why he is single despite him being an attractive and charming man.
Maribeth decides to begin the search for her birth mother, and while doing so, meets Janice. Janice runs a non-profit that helps children of adoption find their birth parents, and offers to help Maribeth get the information she longs for. Over the course of their search, she and Janice become friends.
After exhausting the last of her willpower, she finally goes to the library and uses a computer there to check her e-mail. She expects to find frantic, worried e-mails from Jason, or her best friend/boss Elizabeth, but finds nothing of the sort. Part of her is relieved, but part of her feels like the lack of messages means that those who claim to love her could not care less that she has disappeared, leaving only a note behind.
Although she’s still grappling with her mixed emotions about the lack of e-mails, she goes on about her new quiet life in Pittsburgh. She grows increasingly close to the new friends she has made and starts to regain some of her strength and begins to feel somewhat healthy again. She knows the time away is good for her, but she worries about her children she left behind and hopes that they will someday understand why she had to go away.
What ensues is a story about finding yourself, letting go of the impossibly high standards we often hold ourselves to, and learning that ignoring the past doesn’t make it go away. The novel explores love, friendship, marriage, motherhood, and coming to terms with the fact that no one can lead a perfect life no matter how hard they try.
Anyone who has ever felt overwhelmed by their life will identify with the main character, and will enjoy following her on her journey. It doesn’t quite pack the emotional punch that her previous novels have, however it’s an enjoyable read none the less and steadily keeps your attention until the last page. I would recommend it and I think it will appeal to fans of Emily Giffin or Jennifer Weiner.
Don’t forget! Coming soon, my interview with best-selling author of the Pretty Little Liars series and many other best-sellers, Sara Shepard. I’ll also be reviewing her new book, The Amateurs.
Also coming soon, interview with author of In Twenty Years, Allison Winn Scotch. All of that and many more reviews of amazing books coming your way, so stay tuned!

I love your review. I can totally relate to the main character. Sometimes you have too many balls in the air and it becomes WWIII if one falls. I love that she is interested in her birth parents. We don’t realize how much our heredity effect us until it does. I really wanted to read this book because it was recommended in a mag and looked promising. Thanks for the review!!
So glad you enjoyed the review! I appreciate your feedback and hope you read the book, it’s definitely a good one!
