Solo Ride Pennsylvania to Anchorage, Alaska and back 2011
"the beatings will continue until morale improves"
Hello adv! This is my first RR :deal, so I'm going to do my best to make this interesting. Just before I set off my brother mentioned the quote above and I think it sums up the trip to Anchorage in one awesome phrase. So read on, and I hope it provides some procrastination material to get you all through the long workdays until you write your own RR.:evil I think a great motto to live by is: "don't let it not happen." It's easy to push back, or plan, or procrastinate, or to listen to other people telling you not to go because it's dumb and dangerous... and soon enough you're old and the trip has never happened. So get up, get out, and get going!
Overview: This ride is solo from Pittsburgh, PA to Anchorage, AK. The ride up began on May 18, 2011 and ended two weeks later on May 31. I covered 4,598 miles in 9 days of actual riding (average 511miles/day), plus a few days off for rest and ferry schedule. This is my first long trip (the longest before being about 100 miles haha), and it was jam packed with highs, lows, lots and lots of rain, some spectacular sights, and a lot of saddle time. My butt made it through fine, but my knees and ears are going to need a little R&R to get back to normal!
I expect it'll take about a week to write up the report for the trip up. I'm in Anchorage until mid August for work, and then I head back east. I plan to go to D2D and also run to Deadhorse, and will add these later on.
The Route. Roughly planned and made up some along the way:
The Bike. I didn't name her yet, but will soon now that I've had some seat time with her:
Fully Loaded on Day 1:
2010 BMW F800GS 30th Anniversary
-BMW engine guard
-Micatech panniers
-SW Motech crash bars
-SW Motech center stand
-Rivco Highway Pegs
-MotoOverland top plate
-Rotopax 1gallon
-40L vinyl dry bag
-12 pack cooler
-lots of Rok Straps
-and my own custom made stainless steel kickstand footpad
I brought a few clothes, a shit ton of tools and only ever needed the torx that was in the under-seat kit (ironic, but better to be overprepared than under right?), tie downs, windex, my computer, iphone, car GPS with a generic waterproof holder, tent, other various camping accessories. Decided to skip the stove because I stayed with friends and made some new ones along the way.
And a couple of highlight pictures of what is to come:
great pictures...we are heading up that way June 29th....:clap
Nice pics .... thanks :clap
I'm a sucker for an Alaska RR. :nod
Thanks for the pics.
 The Bike:
My friend Dan stopped over and shot some really high quality photos of the bike the day before Ieft. These alone have pretty much convinced me to buy an SLR for the rest of my time in AK because the point and shoot I borrowed from my dad is just not cutting it for distance shots.
Day 0 - the prequel
A little background on me and the trip. I'm 28 and going into my third year of law school in Vermont. The genesis of this trip was declaring that "If I get a summer internship in Alaska, I'm riding a motorcycle there!" Well sure enough, I got the internship, and while it cost a lot more money, I stuck with the plan and rode to AK. In April I picked up the bike from fellow inmate LostViking in Albany, and was pot committed.
The prequel timeline:
Finished finals May 11, drove to PA with the bike in tow and the dog in the car, the dog is living with my parents (thanks mom and dad!) for the next three months.
The dog, a lab-pit mix named Layla:
Ok so once in Pittsburgh it was time to get the bike sorted and packed. Unfortunately, for a procrastinator that didn't go smoothly. I did fab and tig weld on this stainless steel kickstand footprint:
Pretty sweet right? And it won't rust so I didn't paint it, stainless is awesome.
And at 2am, with a planned 9am departure the bike looks like so:
Damn, too much labatt and one custom reflective sticker is all that was accomplished. The rest waited until the morning. On a side note, the "AK 2011" seemed a bit complicated for many people. I thought it'd be kind of clear. Whatever...
boo ya, reflective!
The rider, my name is Jon.
The photo is from the top of Seneca in WV last year during a climbing trip.
And the plan:
Day 1 - Chicago and staying with friend Steph
Day 2 - St. Paul and staying with friend Jerry
Day 3 - Makoshika State Park in Glendive, MT, camping
Day 4 - Lolo hot springs, Missoula, MT, camping... if you can call sitting in a hot springs camping
Day 5 - Yakima, WA and staying with old friend Shayne and Leslie
Day 6 - Rest Day in Yakima enjoying the sunny weather!
Day 7 - Birch Bay, WA just south of the Canadian border and camping
Day 8 - Prince George, BC and staying with extremely gracious inmate GISdood and his wife
Day 9 - Prince Rupert, BC at the Pioneer Hostel. Highly recommended!
Day 10 - sitting around Prince Rupert, waiting for the ferry. Kinda boring but the hostel had free interwebz and I made use of it.
Day 11 - on the ferry to Juneau and Haines. The solarium ROCKS
Day 12 - still on the ferry, getting into Haines at 9pm and camping on the "beach"
Day 13 - the plan was to get to Tok, but I ended up driving all the way from Haines to Anchorage. It was a 770 miles loong haul.
June 23-24 - D2D
Deadhorse... July 4th maybe? Depends on weather
August 12-? - the ride back to Pittsburgh to my family and Layla (the dog).
Stay tuned!
I'm in
Great start to a great adventure I hope. I will be making this trip soon.:clap:freaky
Hmmm, let's see...:*sip*
Very sexy motorcycle, check.
Alaska trip, check.
PA resident, check.
Dog content, check.
Steelers fan, check.
Yeah, I'm in for this one. :D
Day 1 - Pittsburgh, PA to Chicago, IL
498 miles - 10 hours
Day 1 was Wednesday, May 18. The plan was to leave on Monday, but through a combination of me not being ready and rain all day Monday and Tuesday, it was pushed back. Leaving on Wednesday was really pushing it to make the THursday ferry the following week, so it was D-Day.
I wake up, look out the window, and it's pretty much a hurricane. :huh
Have a look at the map, see that bright orange line I-76? Yes, the one heading northwest exactly under the red rain blob. Wonderful.
I wait around until noon, hoping it will clear up a little, and it does! Sunshine and blue skies, low 70s and humid. Nice riding weather. I ditch the rain liners and am ready to roll:
All packed and ready to roll:
20 minutes out, I hit marble sized hail. :dog
That set the stage for the rest of the ride to AK really. Rain, rain, and more rain. Pulled over, donned the rain liners, and hit the road. Not many more pictures on the way to Steph's because it was off and on rain for the whole drive until I got just outside Chicago.
But here are a few:
Yep, this is Ohio
Looking better:
WHen I arrived it was dark. I passed what I think was the Butterfinger factory because it smelled like butterfingers for about 2-3 miles along I-294. The drive was pretty boring, but I was excited being the first day on the road. I did not wear earplugs and my ears were ringing like HELL when I arrived. Having never ridden for that long before, it was unexpected and primarily the fault of the damn windscreen pulling air into my chin.
Tomorrow must be better!
Dannngit maan I just found your RR and the pic from Lewiston, Ive been hanging out here off and on for a couple months...we'll havta do beers the next time:freaky aaaand I'm riding outta Pa too:1drink
Hello and welcome to Alaska, aka The Last Frontier, aka The Greatland. :D
Glad to hear you're planning on joining me and a couple hundred other riders from around the world for the Dust2Dawson gathering. :choppa
Looks like you had a nice trip up. Hope all continues going well during your stay.
Thank you for sharing. Have fun, Mark H.
IN! See you in Dawson!
Really glad to see the bike ran well for you. I thought your Brother was going with you?
You guys still headed to TDF?
Bike ran great! The only issue is the rear tire is almost shot at 6k miles. Too much throttle I suppose :evil I'm thinking about getting a set of TKC80s to run around here in AK and then putting the street tires back on for the ride home. I don't know if the rear will handle another 5k miles though.... damn expensive tires! *fist shake!*

Publisher's Description
Philosophy begins, Aristotle said, with wonder; it addresses the great questions of life. This process of self-discovery through philosophy leads one to ask questions not only about human existence but also about God. In Philosophy: The Quest for Truth and Meaning,Andrew Beards introduces readers to some key philosophical ideas 'the mind's ability to know truth and reality, metaphysics, ethics, and questioning life's ultimate purpose 'in order to guide them in philosophical reflection. By examining the development of philosophy, Beards demonstrates and makes a case for the interplay of faith and reason.
Andrew Beards, PhD, is reader in philosophy and director of the distance-learning B.A. Philosophy and the Catholic Tradition program at Maryvale Institute, an international institute for philosophy and theology based in Birmingham, UK.

•Feb. 23 — Another overtime thriller doesn't end in the same fashion, as the soccer team rallies from a two-goal deficit only to fall in overtime, 3-2, to Northwood.
"From where we were early in the season, our guys made great strides," says Appels, whose team ended its season at 8-12-2 and got goals from Cadena and Joel Ingram in the playoff loss.
•March 2 — After going winless the previous season, the volleyball team opens with a 25-23, 15-25, 25-23, 22-25, 15-12 win over Temple City on the strength of 53 Matt Grace assists. Michael Bacall and Wesley Coffey had 17 and 15 assists, respectively.
•March 4 — St. Francis' golf team begins its season competing in a nonleague tri-match at La Cañada Country Club against neighbors Flintridge Prep and La Cañada. The Golden Knights are victorious as they shoot a 175 to 193 by La Cañada and 204 by Flintridge Prep.
St. Francis receives an even-par 34 from Sean Brennan, a 36 from Bobby Coffin and a 37 from Richie Maloof.
•March 16 — Ethan Bramschreiber twirls six brilliant innings to lead the baseball team past Alhambra, 9-1, to win the championship game of the Arcadia Elks Tournament.
•March 25 — The track and field team opens up the season at 3-1 with an 89-36 win against Chaminade, with Palazzolo, James Knowles and Walker Fitch all notching double wins. However, it would be the pinnacle of the season for the track team, as it lost its last two meets.
•April 1 — The golf team maintains its upper hand over rival Crescenta Valley, knocking off the Falcons, 197-221, in a nonleague match at Brookside Park Golf Course No. 1 in Pasadena.
Maloof earns low-medalist honors by shooting a one-under-par 35.
The tennis team drops an 11-7 decision to Flintridge Prep and finds the loss a bit of a foreshadowing, as the Golden Knights are unable to return to the postseason, going 4-10 overall and 3-7 in league for fourth place in the six-team Mission League.
•April 16 — With the tying and winning runs on base, Mark Saatzer sends a shot into the right-center field gap in the bottom of the seventh inning, only to be robbed for the third and final out in Chaminade's 6-5 Mission League win over the baseball team.
"We battled again," St. Francis Coach Brian Esquival says. "That's all you can ask for.
"We did the things to put us in position to tie or even win the game. We had a couple of bounces go against us. I thought the ball Mark hit would fall in and [the center fielder] got a good jump on the ball to make the catch. That's a tough play to make and he made a great catch."
The game is especially symbolic of the season for the Golden Knights, who lose nine games by one run.
•April 20 — The Golden Knights rally for a long-overdue Mission League volleyball win, besting Chaminade, 22-25, 20-25, 25-21, 25-20, 20-18, as Michael Bacall has 20 kills, five blocks and three aces. Wesley Coffey adds 17 kills and five aces, while Matt Grace had 51 assists.
•May 1 — The volleyball squad rebounds from a subpar first day to capture the Silver Division championship on the final day of the Crescenta Valley Varsity Tournament. The team would end the season with a 7-12 mark, a huge improvement from a season prior.
•May 3 — The doubles pairings of John Kazanjian and Chris Norhadian and Daniel Setiady and Greg Pak notch first-round victories in the Mission League prelims, but fall in the second round, putting an end to the tennis season.
•May 6 — None of the Golden Knights golfers extend their seasons at the Mission League finals at Mountain Meadows Golf Course in Pomona. Maloof, an All-Area golf and football selection, notches a 10-over-par 82 after shooting a 76 in the first round for a two-round score of 158. Coffin posts an 80 for a total of 161. Drake Muir shoots an 83 (163), while Chris Petito shot a two-day 165. As a team, St. Francis takes fifth with an 11-6 overall mark and a 6-6 league slate.
At the Mission League track and field finals, James Knowles takes second in the 110 high hurdles in 15.16, while Walker Fitch notched a mark of 20-1 in the long jump for third.
•May 13 — The baseball team defeats Notre Dame, 12-5, to finish its season on a winning note and with a 13-14 overall mark. David Olmedo-Barrera and Bramschreiber, both of them All-Area selections, lead the way as the former has a three-run triple and the latter pitches six innings for the win.

Weekdays at Noon on 92.3 KTAR
KTAR Middays
Final Word: Terrorism has a new meaning for Americans
Friday's shooting at Los Angeles International Airport should serve as a reminder that the definition of terror as we know it has changed a lot since 9/11.
After 2001, our focus as Americans turned against people from the Middle East and all the talk was about racial profiling. Was it right or wrong? Was it effective? And the TSA was born, to further complicate air travel with hour-long lines, ridiculous restrictions on what you can and can't pack in your bags, all in an effort to make air travel safer.
Has it worked? Maybe, but you'd better believe that terrorists who are hellbent on killing Americans will do so, either here or abroad. And they probably won't do it using a major airliner anymore.
What we saw Friday was terrorism too.
We will likely find out that the shooter who went after a Transportation Security Administration agent at LAX was mentally ill and had the TSA on his hit list. But for the thousands of others in the terminal today, this was nothing short of an act of terror.
Can you imagine coming face-to-face with a madman carrying a rifle in a crowded airport with your children next to you?
Can you imagine being the man or woman in charge of air traffic at one of the world's busiest airports, LAX, and having to deal with this shooting?
This shooter caused mayhem, plain and simple.
He killed a TSA agent too, and not only has that agent's family suffered a loss, but the TSA will no doubt try to change something in the way they operate so that something like this doesn't happen again, which means even more fun at the security line.
Terror has a new meaning. It's the knowledge that you never know when or where you might be faced with a situation where your life or maybe the life of one of your children is on the line and someone who can't tell reality from fantasy or right from wrong is holding the gun.
Is there anything more terrifying than that?

Pepsi-Cola is a carbonated beverage that is produced and manufactured by PepsiCo. It is sold in stores, restaurants and from vending machines. The drink was first made in the 1890s by pharmacist Caleb Bradham in New Bern, North Carolina. The brand was trademarked on June 16, 1903. There have been many Pepsi variants produced over the years since 1903, including Diet Pepsi, Crystal Pepsi, Pepsi Twist, Pepsi Max, Pepsi Samba, Pepsi Blue, Pepsi Gold, Pepsi Holiday Spice, Pepsi Jazz, Pepsi X (available in Finland and Brazil), Pepsi Next (available in Japan and South Korea), Pepsi Raw, Pepsi Retro in Mexico, Pepsi One, and Pepsi Ice Cucumber in Japan..
Pepsi was first made in New Bern, North Carolina, in the United States in the early 1890s by pharmacist Caleb Bradham. In 1898, "Brad's Drink" was changed to "Pepsi-Cola" and later trademarked on June 16, 1903. There are several theories on the origin of the word "pepsi". The only two discussed within the current PepsiCo website are the following:
Another theory regarding the name's origins is that Caleb Bradham and his customers simply thought the name sounded good and reflected the fact that the drink had some kind of "pep" in it because it was a carbonated drink.
It was made of carbonated water, sugar, vanilla, rare oils, and kola nuts. Whether the original recipe included the enzyme pepsin is disputed.
In 1903, Bradham moved the bottling of Pepsi-Cola from his drugstore into a rented warehouse. That year, Bradham sold 7,968 gallons of syrup. The next year, Pepsi was sold in six-ounce bottles, and sales increased to 19,848 gallons. In 1924, Pepsi received its first logo redesign since the original design of 1905. In 1926, the logo was changed again. In 1929, automobile race pioneer Barney Oldfield endorsed Pepsi-Cola in newspaper ads as "A bully drink...refreshing, invigorating, a fine bracer before a race".
In 1931, the Pepsi-Cola Company went bankrupt during the Great Depression- in large part due financial losses incurred by speculating on wildly fluctuating sugar prices as a result of World War I. Assets were sold and Roy C. Megargel bought the Pepsi trademark. Eight years later, the company went bankrupt again. Pepsi's assets were then purchased by Charles Guth, the President of Loft Inc. Loft was a candy manufacturer with retail stores that contained soda fountains. He sought to replace Coca-Cola at his stores' fountains after Coke refused to give him a discount on syrup. Guth then had Loft's chemists reformulate the Pepsi-Cola syrup formula.
During the Great Depression, Pepsi gained popularity following the introduction in 1936 of a 12-ounce bottle. Initially priced at 10 cents, sales were slow, but when the price was slashed to five cents, sales increased substantially. With a radio advertising campaign featuring the jingle "Pepsi cola hits the spot / Twelve full ounces, that's a lot / Twice as much for a nickel, too / Pepsi-Cola is the drink for you," Pepsi encouraged price-watching consumers to switch, obliquely referring to the Coca-Cola standard of six ounces a bottle for the price of five cents (a nickel), instead of the 12 ounces Pepsi sold at the same price. Coming at a time of economic crisis, the campaign succeeded in boosting Pepsi's status. In 1936 alone 500,000,000 bottles of Pepsi were consumed. From 1936 to 1938, Pepsi-Cola's profits doubled.
Pepsi's success under Guth came while the Loft Candy business was faltering. Since he had initially used Loft's finances and facilities to establish the new Pepsi success, the near-bankrupt Loft Company sued Guth for possession of the Pepsi-Cola company. A long legal battle, Guth v. Loft, then ensued, with the case reaching the Delaware Supreme Court and ultimately ending in a loss for Guth. Loft now owned Pepsi, and the two companies did a merger, then immediately spun off the Loft company.
Walter Mack was named the new President of Pepsi-Cola and guided the company through the 1940s. Mack, who supported progressive causes, noticed that the company's strategy of using advertising for a general audience either ignored African Americans or used ethnic stereotypes in portraying blacks. He realized African Americans were an untapped niche market and that Pepsi stood to gain market share by targeting its advertising directly towards them. To this end, he hired Hennan Smith, an advertising executive "from the Negro newspaper field" to lead an all-black sales team, which had to be cut due to the onset of World War II. In 1947, Mack resumed his efforts, hiring Edward F. Boyd to lead a twelve-man team. They came up with advertising portraying black Americans in a positive light, such as one with a smiling mother holding a six pack of Pepsi while her son (a young Ron Brown, who grew up to be Secretary of Commerce) reaches up for one. Another ad campaign, titled "Leaders in Their Fields", profiled twenty prominent African Americans such as Nobel Peace Prize winner Ralph Bunche and photographer Gordon Parks.
Boyd also led a sales team composed entirely of blacks around the country to promote Pepsi. Racial segregation and Jim Crow laws were still in place throughout much of the U.S., so Boyd's team faced a great deal of discrimination as a result, from insults by Pepsi co-workers to threats by Ku Klux Klan. On the other hand, they were able to use racism as a selling point, attacking Coke's reluctance to hire blacks and support by the chairman of Coke to segregationist Governor of Georgia Herman Talmadge. As a result, Pepsi's market share as compared to Coke's shot up dramatically. After the sales team visited Chicago, Pepsi's share in the city overtook that of Coke for the first time.
This focus on the black market caused some consternation within the company and among its affiliates. They did not want to seem focused on black customers for fear white customers would be pushed away. In a meeting at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, Mack tried to assuage the 500 bottlers in attendance by pandering to them, saying, "We don't want it to become known as the African-American drink. After Mack left the company in 1950, support for the black sales team faded and it was cut.
In 1975, Pepsi introduced the Pepsi Challenge marketing campaign where PepsiCo set up a blind tasting between Pepsi-Cola and rival Coca-Cola. During these blind taste tests the majority of participants picked Pepsi as the better tasting of the two soft drinks. PepsiCo took great advantage of the campaign with television commercials reporting the test results to the public..
In 1996, PepsiCo launched the highly successful Pepsi Stuff marketing strategy. By 2002, the strategy was cited by Promo Magazine as one of 16 "Ageless Wonders" that "helped redefine promotion marketing.
In 2007, PepsiCo redesigned their cans for the fourteenth time, and for the first time, included more than thirty different backgrounds on each can, introducing a new background every three weeks.
The sole exception is the seasonal release of "Kosher for Passover" Pepsi (and Coca-Cola) products, which may not be available in all geographic regions. Orthodox Kosher law forbids consumption of grain products during the Passover holiday season, hence corn sweetener is replaced with cane sugar during springtime months. The presence of sucrose instead of corn byproducts renders lighter-colored, less brownish carbonation bubbles, and produces what some aficionados describe as a cleaner swallow and sweeter taste.
Excessive sugar intake (including corn-based sweeteners) is thought to be a contributing factor in the development of certain types of diabetes. Sugar is also a leading contributor to tooth decay.
In 1985, The Coca-Cola Company, amid much publicity, changed its formula. The theory has been advanced that New Coke, as the reformulated drink came to be known, was invented specifically in response to the Pepsi Challenge. However, a consumer backlash led to Coca-Cola quickly introducing a modified version of the original formula (removing the expensive Haitian lime oil and changing the sweetener to corn syrup) as Coke "Classic".
Comedian Dave Chappelle starred in ads for both Coca-Cola and Pepsi, an act which drew controversy. When referring to it in his show, Chappelle said, "I can't even taste the difference: all I know is Pepsi paid me most recently, so it tastes better."
In the U.S., Pepsi's total market share was about 31.7 percent in 2004, while Coke's was about 43.1 percent.
Overall, Coca-Cola continues to outsell Pepsi in almost all areas of the world. Saudi Arabia, Pakistan (Pepsi has been a dominant sponsor of the Pakistan cricket team since the 1990s), the Canadian provinces of Quebec and Prince Edward Island and the U.S. states of Michigan and South Carolina are the exceptions..
Pepsi had long been the drink of Canadian Francophones and it continues to hold its dominance by relying on local Québécois celebrities (especially Claude Meunier, of La Petite Vie fame) to sell its product. "Pepsi" eventually became an offensive nickname for Francophones. PepsiCo use the slogan "here, it's Pepsi" (Ici, c'est Pepsi) to answer to Coca-cola publicity "Everyone on Earth drank Coca-Cola" (Partout dans le monde, c'est Coke).
By most accounts, Coca-Cola was India's leading soft drink until 1977 when it left India after a new government ordered The Coca-Cola Company to turn over its secret formula for Coke and dilute its stake in its Indian unit as required by the Foreign Exchange Regulation Act (FERA). In 1988, PepsiCo gained entry to India by creating a joint venture with the Punjab government-owned Punjab Agro Industrial Corporation (PAIC) and Voltas India Limited. This joint venture marketed and sold Lehar Pepsi until 1991 when the use of foreign brands was allowed; PepsiCo bought out its partners and ended the joint venture in 1994. In 1993, The Coca-Cola Company returned in pursuance of India's Liberalization policy. In 2005, The Coca-Cola Company and PepsiCo together held 95% market share of soft-drink sales in India. Coca-Cola India's market share was 52.5%.
In Russia, Pepsi initially had a larger market share than Coke but it was undercut once the Cold War ended. In 1972, Pepsico company struck a barter agreement with the then government of the Soviet Union, in which Pepsico was granted exportation and Western marketing rights to Stolichnaya vodka in exchange for importation and Soviet marketing of Pepsi-Cola. This exchange led to Pepsi-Cola being the first foreign product sanctioned for sale in the U.S.S.R..
Reminiscent of the way that Coca-Cola became a cultural icon and its global spread spawned words like "coca colonization", Pepsi-Cola and its relation to the Soviet system turned it into an icon. In the early 1990s, the term, "Pepsi-stroika", began appearing as a pun on "perestroika", the reform policy of the Soviet Union under Mikhail Gorbachev. Critics viewed the policy as a lot of fizz without substance and as an attempt to usher in Western products in deals there with the old elites. Pepsi, as one of the first American products in the Soviet Union, became a symbol of that relationship and the Soviet policy. This was reflected in Russian author Victor Pelevin's book "Generation P".
In 1992, following the Soviet collapse, Coca-Cola was introduced to the Russian market. As it came to be associated with the new system, and Pepsi to the old, Coca-Cola rapidly captured a significant market share that might otherwise have required years to achieve. By July 2005, Coca-Cola enjoyed a market share of 19.4 percent, followed by Pepsi with 13 percent.
Rarely, though, has the Coke-Pepsi rivalry gone so far as in Thailand, where it has now led to two deaths (source: Time Magazine).

Galapagos Islands History
Galapagos Islands History
Galapagos Islands are in the Pacific Ocean, about 600 miles west of Ecuador, on the west coast of South America. Galapagos islands were discovered by Tomas de Berlanga in 1535 accidentally happened during the trip from Panama to Peru.
Galapagos islands appeared on a world map in 1570 when Abraham Ortelius designed a map of the Galapagos islands that called the Isolas de Galapagos or the islands of the tortoises based on description by the sailors because of many tortoises inhabiting the islands.
In the 17th century, The Galapagos islands became a hideout for British Buccaneers that pirated Spanish ship. In the early of 18th century, British whalers and seal hunters visited the island regularly to set up an industry in the middle of the Pacific ocean.
In 1800, a makeshift post office was established on Floreana and still exist until today. The first man known settled on the islands was Patrick Watkins, an Irish crew member on Bristih ship was put ashore at Floreana in 1807. In 1832, Galapagos islands were annexed by Ecuador as a territory. The early settlers established small farms on Floreana and Santa Cruz.
Chales Darwin visited the islands in 1835 as the official naturalist on the voyage of the H.M.S. Beagle. It became clear to Darwin that overtime, different species adapt to their environment in Galapagos islands. Each small island has its own characteristic species of bird, tortoise and lizard.
Galapagos islands have been given the official name Archipelago de Colon in honor of Chistopher Columbus by the Ecuador's government. The archipelago later appointed to a national park. It is managed by the National Park Service of Ecuador.
Since its founding in 1964, Darwin Research Station on Santa Cruz Island, Galapagos Islands largely a place of scientific research and tourism. Today, scientific expeditions are important sources of information about how to preserve the fragile ecosystems of Galapagos islands.
Tourism in Galapagos islands has grown considerably in the last few decades. Because of the increasing numbers of visitors will impact to the preservation of the islands become greater.

In April 2015, doors are set to open on the brand new Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse at Los Angeles Airport Terminal 2. Created by the Virgin Atlantic in-house design team, in partnership with Slade Architecture, the space takes its design cues from nature. Think sculptural lines and glimmers of gold inspired by that famous Los Angeles sunshine. Design Manager Callie Tedder-Hares has been on site. She says, "we're just past the halfway mark with the build and the space is really taking shape. The warm gold hues are looking really dynamic, especially when the sun falls on the sculptural wall. We're excited to be nearing completion and look forward to welcoming customers to another fantastic Clubhouse."
The Clubhouse will showcase the talents of California based artists as well as up and coming British artist Vic Lee. Vic's work is a mix of typography, passion, charm and beautification, which he calls wall tattoos. He told us, "when you have Virgin Atlantic contact you to create a mural for them, it feels tasty. When they tell you it's in the Clubhouse in Los Angeles, it turns to deliciousness! It's very exciting to be asked by one of the world's coolest companies to create a piece of art in an equally cool city. I am looking forward to putting down some ink on walls at the Virgin Clubhouse in LA and bringing some London artistry across the pond."
We're also looking to collaborate with local restaurants to provide a unique dining experience that truly reflects the Californian lifestyle. This will support the apothecary-inspired bar and infused cocktails developed by our food and beverage team.

Sistrum with One Cross Bar in Place
The human face with cow's ears and horns on the sistrum's handle represents the goddess Hathor, who personifies heaven and motherhood. The pairs of holes originally held rods with metal disks or squares that produced sound when shaken. Egyptian myths suggest that enraged gods and goddesses became pacified at hearing the sounds of the sistrum. As a symbol of Hathor appeased, the sistrum came to be used in rituals and ceremonies for Hathor, Bastet, and other deities.

Featured video: U.S. forests decimated for 'green' bio-energy in EuropeJeremy Hance
December 12, 2013
On an occasional basis mongabay.com highlights a video or film. Any views expressed in these clips are those of the filmmaker/producer and do not necessarily reflect the views or endorsement of mongabay.com.
Wetland forests in the southern U.S. are becoming the victims of a drive for so-called green energy in Europe, according to activist group Dogwood Alliance, which has produced a new video highlighting the issue. The activists contend that bio-energy that depends on chopping down forests not only devastates vital ecosystems, but actually emits more greenhouse gases than traditional fossil fuels.
"Right now wetland hardwood forests from the coast of the Southern US are being clearcut to make wood pellets to burn in Europe to keep the lights on," Scot Quaranda, campaign director with Dogwood Alliance. "This has got to stop, Europe should be investing in true renewable like wind and solar, not false solutions like burning Enviva's wood pellets."
According to a massive new forest analysis using Google's cloud, the U.S. has lost over 25 million hectares of forest in all from 2000-2012, making it the third largest loss worldwide, even more than Indonesia. When re-growing forests are accounted for, however, U.S. net loss comes to 12.6 million hectares. The southern U.S. is a hotspot for deforestation.

text: Over time I've received e-mails from customers asking if they could have access to more than one network because they have an absolute need to be able to access the Internet. Because we are charged by various port wholesalers for each account, our costs are higher for providing access to more than one network. To accomodate needs of people who have a need for high availability, I've created yet another dial plan that does give access to MegaPOP, Qwest, Telia, and UUNET dialups. This is more expensive for us to provide, and consequently the rates are considerably higher. But if you have an absolute need to access the Internet, this is your best bet. In Seattle for example, this plan gives access to seven different telephone numbers using four different port wholesalers with four different backbones using six different telephone companies. So if a fiber cut takes out one backbone, or one telco is a problem, you have other alternatives available to you immediately. What you would do on a PC with Windows for example, is create seperate dial-up networking entries for each option. Then when one fails to connect you can just click on another and go. Ideally things would never break, but in the real world they do. Equipment fails, people dig up fiber with a backhoe, etc. If you're profession is one in which the lack of Internet access at a crucial moment could be expensive, then this is an option you may want to consider.

Q: A strange phenomenon caused much comment at a barbecue this summer. To keep the cans of beer cool they were placed in a large plastic dustbin that was filled with cold water. Strangely, some cans remained on the bottom of the bin while others floated on the surface of the water. There were more submerged cans than floating cans, but this behaviour was not confined to any particular brand. What could be the reason for this?
A: This owes a little to the laws of hydrostatics and a lot to consumer laws. The volume of beer that is printed on the side of a can is a legal minimum, and so beer cans are designed to accommodate a certain amount of extra liquid.
The exact amount of extra beer contained in the can depends on the brewer's quality control procedures during can filling. If the beer is accurately metered ...

Why Become Age-Friendly?
Population aging and urbanization are two global trends that together comprise major forces shaping the 21st century. At the same time as cities are growing, their share of residents aged 60 years and more is increasing. As of 2007, over half of the global population now lives in cities.
WHO Global Age-Friendly Cities Guide
It is estimated that in the next 10 years, Canadians over age 65 will outnumber those under age 15. Within 30 years, as the Baby Boom generation continues to age, the population over age 65 will grow from 4.2 million to 9.8 million.
Age-Friendly Rural and Remote Communities: A Guide
Evidence shows that health promotion and disease prevention strategies can help those who are aging well, in addition to those with chronic conditions and those who are at risk for serious health problems—even very late in life.
At the same time, older adults continue to make significant contributions on a number of fronts—to their families (by providing assistance to spouses, children and grandchildren); to their friends and neighbours; to the community (through volunteering activities); and to the paid economy as skilled and knowledgeable workers.
The costs and benefits associated with aging and the impacts on communities and broader society make an investment in active and healthy aging.
In Ontario, the number of seniors aged 65 and over is projected to more than double from 1.8 million, or 13.7 per cent of population in 2009, to 4.2 million, or 23.4 per cent, by 2036. The growth in the share and number of seniors will accelerate over the 2011–2031 period as baby boomers begin to turn 65. Ontario Population projection update, Spring 2010, based on the 2006 Census
The city of Ottawa is no stranger to this aging trend. The need to adapt to the population of seniors in Ottawa is increasing at a fast pace as a large and growing demographic of 100,870 people, or 12.4% in 2006, is projected to reach 230,922 and to make up 20.3% of the population by 2031. In addition, this population is increasingly characterized by diversity of religious beliefs, ethnocultural and linguistic identities and sexual orientations, all of which impact access to, and delivery of, services.

Good for him, I hated thinking his career would end on such a sour note.
Very impressive. Hope he doesn't rush it too much and injure himself. He is definitely going to fight again.
So now he can use sloppy technique when kicking without fear of injury?
I hope for his full recovery... although I hate his clownish antics, I do wish to see him fight again...
then they'll upgrade to a soccer ball, basketball, bowling ball, then Bisping's head.
Favorite Fighter: JIM MILLER.
Scariest Dude on the Planet: TYRONE SPONG.
Other Favorites: Anderson Silva, Gegard Mousasi, Joe Lauzon, Khabib Nurmagomedov, Conor McGregor, Paul Daley, Ross Pearson, Donald Cerrone, Renan Barao, Glover Texiera, & Alistair Overeem.
"He doesn't write his own material. Some homo in Queens living in his mother's basement in his underwear is writing Chael's material for him." - DON FRYE.
Bisping would be the ideal return for Anderson. It's a win-win for both. Anderson gets an opponent who is highly ranked, marketable and doesn't pose any serious dangers to him style-wise and for Bisping, he gets the most vulnerable version of Anderson and gets catapulted to a potential title shot with a win.

Jungian literary theory differs from the established practice of Jungian literary criticism, sometimes referred to as archetypal criticism. As a relatively new development, Jungian literary theory makes connections between the core principles and writings of the psychoanalyst, C.G. Jung, and the domain of contemporary cultural theory including deconstruction, poststructuralism, postmodernism, feminism, and postcolonialism. Hitherto, Jungian criticism was based upon a notion of recurrent thematic motifs, known as archetypes, which play a structuring role in literature and culture. Such an approach can tend to downplay historical specificity in critical practice. Jungian literary theory takes a different starting point in drawing upon …

Sunset Sessions Tour to Benefit Local Communities Through Travels
Michele Clark's Sunset Sessions, a music industry convention and talent showcase have announced the first ever SUNSET SESSIONS TOUR.
Featuring four GREAT alumni acts: Duncan Sheik, Alpha Rev, Courrier & Laura Warshauer, this first 20 city tour is the first leg which will be followed up by a second leg in early 2013. It will be hitting all of the major cities including Vegas, Denver, New York, Philadelphia as well as very important music markets that have valuable community oriented Triple A Radio stations such as Wilmington NC, Columbia SC and many more.
The goal of the tour is to give the radio stations that are involved in each market an opportunity to choose charity or cause that is important to them or their community and we would use this evening of talent to be supportive of that charity in any ways we can collectively come up with - ie, bring a toy for a "toys for tots" or bring a canned good, or do a $1 tix override to benefit a local school, do an artist meet-n-greet, or beach clean up together etc. some markets there is no presenting station yet - but the vision is to have artists tour together, sharing resources, (tour bus, road manager, merch person, publicists, promo people, labels, managers etc) to benefit each other, the radio station and the community however they can.
Sunset Sessions is a key opportunity for musicians and industry power players alike, introducing record labels, radio station programmers, music supervisors, managers, agents and others to emerging and established artists. The convention has been influential in the launches and careers of hundreds of artists over it's 15 year history including The Black Keys, Ryan Adams, Fun, Sia, James Blunt, Zac Brown Band, Grace Potter & The Nocturnals, Pete Yorn, Jack Johnson, Five for Fighting and Jason Mraz. It has also hosted many legendary favorites such as Stevie Nicks, Chris Isaak, Richie Sambora, Melissa Etheridge, Jimmy Cliff, Lucinda Williams, Jewel, Third Eye Blind, Billy Corgan and Wayne Coyne.

Toshiba 40RL8582 February 2012
Toshiba doesn't actually manufacture the panels and tech inside its TVs, but this 40-incher provides yet more proof of why – as a brand – it continues to be one of the most popular around. One word: value. There's no sniff of absolute top quality... >>

Giorgio Armani Pens Preface Versace Biography
Giorgio Armani wrote about Gianni Versace in the preface of the reissue of "Gianni Versace. La Biografia." The late designer's biography, by journalist Tony di Corcia, was first published in 2010.
"Fifteen years after his death, what I remember of Gianni Versace? His incredible exuberance, a sense of happiness that mixes everything - ideas, trends, memories, art - with a sort of nonchalant vitality. He was a great creator," Armani wrote. The book comes out this Thursday.
Armani established his fashion house in 1975, only three years before Versace and described how they were both spurred by their rivalry.
"The Italian mentality feeds on contradictions: from [bike aces] Coppi/Bartali to Gina Lollobrigida/Sophia Loren. Armani and Versace were perfect for this game," Armani wrote. "But to be honest we didn't know each other very well, being so absorbed in our work […] even if we would have never admitted that, we were curious about each other and at the end of each show we used to ask: "What did Versace do?" and "What did Armani do?"

I hope this is better than that Hearthstone thing they put out a while back.
Is WoW finally on the decline? I thought they would have a new (real) game out by now.
Doesn't really compare to hearthstone. Which in itself is a pretty awesome card game, but ... Not my thing really.
This is fun though. If you're the type who needs a game to rotate levels so you never play the same level twice in 6ours of gaming though.. It's not for you. Though it has some variety but they're all the same basic formula but with different level mechanics, some of them require more teamwork than others, so some levels a few good players on an average team can pull through, others three good players teamed with 2 crap ones will be rolled by a team of mediocre players who work together.
Problem is a lot of people ignore the merc camps, and getting the merc camps is probably the most important key to success, they are more powerful than people think, especially if they are followed afterwards by a support player. And then you have all the idiots who chase the other players instead of going for the objectives.

Paris — Prime Minister Hamadi Jebali will take part Thursday, as a guest of honour, in the 10th Small- and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs) Planet, to be held at the Paris Congress Palace.
This annual event is organised by the General Confederation of Small- and Medium-Sized Enterprises (CGSME).
Prime Minister Hamadi Jebali will meet his French counterpart Jean-Marc Ayrault, who will also attend this fair.
The Prime Minister will take the floor, during the event's plenary session, and visit Tunisia's stand.
A seminar on the promotion of the Tunisia-destination as an investment site is scheduled as part of this event.
On the occasion of his visit to France, the Prime Minister will participate, with attendance of Tunisian businessmen and heads of enterprise, in a luncheon-debate with the French Employers' Organisation (MEDEF).
He will be escorted by the Tunisian Industry, Trade and Handicrafts Union (UTICA) Chairwoman and the Chairman of the Tunisian Citizens' Enterprise Confederation (CONECT).
This is Prime Minister Jebali's first visit to France, after the French presidential and legislative elections.
More than 10,000 participants are expected in this year's SMEs Planet, an annual event that gathers French and foreign economic, institutional, political and union partners around lectures, workshops, business meetings, expert analyses and information meetings.

Choose Your Own Adventure
One of the highlights of my childhood was reading
Choose Your Own Adventure
books. If you're not familiar with them, they are books where you are asked at intervals to decide what direction the story will take. At the bottom of the page, you're asked a question, and depending on your answer, you turn to a certain page number to continue reading.
There are two wonderful things about Choose Your Own Adventure books: (1) you are in control of where the story goes; and (2) you can read the book over and over and it will be a new and different experience every time (until you run out of story lines).
So Many Choices
The awesome thing about our online maker community, is that you can participate on whatever level you choose. In essence, you can choose your own adventure here. There are an overwhelming array of venues and technologies you can use to connect with other makers:
- write a blog
- read blogs
- pinterest
- twitter
- flickr
- facebook
- ravelry
- forums like craftster and crochetville
- and a bunch more (add ones I missed in the comments!)
I see (and hear about) a lot of disatisfaction in these venues. People saying they *should* blog more, or *should* post more pictures, or *wishing* they didn't drag their feet when it comes to X, Y, or Z. Sometimes we all have valid gripes. Who couldn't use more time, money, and talent? But when I hear the word "should" alarm bells ring.
Blogging isn't for everyone. Facebook isn't for everyone. Twitter isn't for everyone. Maybe the reason you're disatisfied with your level of involvement is because you are trying to fit your creative circle peg in a square hole. Everyone's needs and desires are different. Just because Person A's creativity exploded into a sky full of fireworks when they started a blog doesn't mean that it will do the same for you.
Maybe you're more of a Flickr person. Maybe you're a tweeter. Maybe you're a lurker. I say, embrace the avenues online that encourage, support, inspire, and ultimately make you feel good about your level of involvement. I say, whatever you choose to do is A-OK.
Things Change
Also, keep in mind that your creative needs and desires will change over time. When I first discovered feed readers (like Google Reader and Bloglines) I subscribed to EVERY blog I stumbled across. I ended up with hundreds of subscriptions. I found checking them everyday was a joy.
But years later, I saw all those subscriptions as a diversion, a chore, and the opposite of inspiring. I had much less free time and keeping track of all those people and projects where keeping me from taking the time I needed to find my own inspiration and complete my own projects. I was also comparing my seemingly tiny crafty output to *everyone else's* crafty output. I'd finish one project and my feed reader would show me 85 even cooler finished projects. It became disheartening.
I ended up deleteing all my subscriptions except for those of my very best blog-friends. My extra blog surfing came in the form of visiting my commenter's blog. Other than that, I didn't get out into the crafty world much. I focused my energy where it was needed most, creating.
Feeling Good Is Different Than Being Comfortable
Feel like I should add a little disclaimer here. I don't want to come accross as saying you should never be uncomfortable or push your boundaries. Being uncomfortable and pushing your boundaries is a great way to grow as a creative person. I never ever in a million years thought I'd have a blog. Never. Ever. Even after I started my blog, I would argue that it wasn't a blog. I was *so* uncomfortable when I first started it, and frankly, it sorta stank, especially the photos.
But after giving it a go, I found that it had a ton of positive side effects for me: I finished projects more often; I took more risks in my projects; I *loved* getting feedback that from people who *got* what I was doing. I was growing as a creative person!
So, this is the disclaimer: You should feel good about your level of involvement in the craft community, but you shouldn't necessarily feel comfortable with it, creatively speaking.
Tell Me About Your Experience Online
I'm curious about your experience in the online creative community. What venues work for you? Why? What venues don't work for you? Why? Have you changed your online habits over time? What made you change?
Love this post?
Share the love!

I know exactly what you mean. I am new to the game in terms of blogging. I feel like I am playing catch up and at times defeated because of all the creativity out there. I also had to make the decision to focus on what I am doing to give to the creative community. My favorite venue in the creative community is pinterest. This is the place I feel most inspired to do and create. BTW I love Choose your own Adventure Books!

Andrea ... Glad you're giving your activities some thought. :)

I have a blog but am certainly not an active blogger. I like having a record of things I've made, and if it makes some connections, so much the better. I specifically try to refrain from making apologies for not posting more often because it is what it is. All of those "should haves" have become sort of a shared language among bloggers, especially those who aren't blogging daily. I appreciate that your space here isn't apologetic for not being something different. I like what it is, AND it reminds me that hey, it's OK just to do what works for me.
replied ...
Kristen ... Apologies for who we are and what we do should never enter into the picture in the craft community or elsewhere in our lives. :) That's my motto for this year, "Love the house you're in!" Of course, if you need a new house, no need to apologize then, either, just pack up and move. ;)
said ...
Thank you thank you thank you! The way you give permission just to be ourselves here is just what I needed to hear today; I have been so full of 'shoulda woulda coulda'; this post truly blessed us perfectionists (who are really procrastinators or vice versa) :)
replied ...
Melisa ... Haha! I think perfectionism and procrastination go hand-in-hand. You can't mess something up if you never finish it. ;) I fall into that trap sometimes, too.

I have a friend who often said "quit 'should-ing' on yourself" and I love that expression - it helps to remind yourself to stop saying things like "I should..." and the like :) thank you for reminding me of this, too :)
replied ...
katie kleber ... Haha! I've heard that one, too. :) It can be hard to stop setting unreasonable expectations for yourself, or to ignore the ones that people place on you. Especially in this day of shattered and unfocused attention (everything is blinking, barking, and banging away in front of us), it can be difficult to stay centered in ourselves.

I got up this morning with a whole list of "shoulds" ~~ thank you so much for giving me just the nudge I needed to ignore them all! I've come to the conclusion that I am not a serious blogger...I have several blogs...to which I post whenever the spirit moves me; however, I've begun to feel guilty for not posting on a more regular basis or on a schedule. Your words this morning have given me just what I needed to remember that I began my blogs because I love to write. But I can go days without having a thought worth writing down...let alone worthy of posting! Thanks to you, this morning I realized that I blog for pleasure...*my* pleasure. If others find any of my thoughts interesting, that's a big plus...and it pleases me to know that people are out there reading what I've written...and some of them even leave an occasional comment (which I love, BTW). But the bottom line is that I don't make regular posts...and I realize today that I'm not going to continue to try to change that. Thank you for letting me acknowledge that my blogs are only fun if I let them stay that way...fun----not an obligation that collects a load of shoulds...that don't motivate me...and only leave me feeling less like writing than I did anyway. Very liberating!

Sara Kate MacFarland ... That's fantastic! Thank you for taking the time to join in the conversation.

I am a lurker, plain & simple. I have gotten a lot of inspiration from you over the years and even occasionally commented. I have made starling handbags and two heart scarfs from your patterns and they were a joy!
replied ...
Susan C ... That's so cool! Thank you for delurking for a moment to leave such a sweet comment. :)
said ...
Half-way through this post I thought this might be an "End of blog" post! Very glad to hear it isn't! I only read two craft blogs regularly, yours and the Yarn Harlot's. I find both inspiring and just fun to read. I always love your technical posts and Alice stories. And I'm still looking forward to the wristlet pattern, if you ever feel inspired to write it. :)
replied ...
Lauren ... Oh, goodness. You couldn't be sweeter. :) I do hope to post the wristlet pattern eventually. It is one of the most often asked about projects for which I haven't already posted a pattern.
said ...
Hi Alice,
I find I check a few blogs regularly. I don't subscribe. Yours is one I ve stuck to for some years now. You inspired me to crochet although I m definitely more a sewer. If I do not go to a blog spontaneously it means I ve lost interest, sometimes I go back after a while. I started a blog but I can not keep it up.
replied ...
caroline ... That's so sweet to hear! How nice to know that I'm one of your regular stops. :) Thanks for taking the time to comment.
said ...
This is what I needed to read. I'm so guilty of always apologizing for being away, and now that I've opened up an Etsy shop, I'm trying to find the best way to connect to potential customers, and I'm beginning to think that blogging ain't the way. It's nice to be reminded that there's no set formula for being a maker or entrepreneur. I create my own.
replied ...
Alyce ... Yes! Exactly. Find what works for you. That's the secret to everything. :)

First off, I love the calming nature pictures you included in this post. I got all metaphorical and started thinking about how nature is the baseline for all creativity; the ultimate creation. Then I started thinking about crocheting trees and yeah. Got a little side tracked for a few minutes.
Second, I LOVE CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE BOOKS. My friends and I in college would make up our own. Because we are children. And choosing your own adventure is far more important than homework. Always.
And finally, everything about this post is delightful and true. The Information Age is such a blessing to creative folks, as well as such a curse. I mean, we can learn how to do almost anything just by reading tutorials and watching youtube vids, but there is the constant (and totally irrational) pressure to compete with ALL THE INTERNET everyday. Which, I myself fall into all the time. This post is a lovely reminder that, hey, we can't do all the things all the time, and there's no reason why we should feel bad about it. Too true!
As for my online crafty involvement, I'm a blog lover. Love reading them, loving writing them, love it all. I can be a bit of a lurker (-cough- like when it comes to your blog -cough-) but I am still an avid reader of craft blogs. Additionally, I pushed my boundaries six months ago and joined a facebook group for knitters and crocheters. Some of my other online friends were members of the group and encouraged me to join. I was wary at first, but it turned out to be an awesome way to connect with people, ask questions, and just have a good time.
Again, great post! :D So glad this wasn't a "I'm not blogging anymore" post, because you had me worried for a minute there. XD
replied ...
Carolyn Michelle ... Thanks for lowering the lurk-shields to leave such an amazing comment. :) The photos are from our Northern PA trip several Octobers ago (5?!) - such a beautiful little road trip.

I loved the chose your own adventure books too!

The very first step to working with makeup for acne prone skin is to make sure your previous makeup application removal is thorough. While keeping up with a good cleanser and moisturizer that works well with your skin is necessary before any application of makeup, the makeup brushes you use and the care you take of your products may be equally important.

Great Post! I'm Nica on my mother's side, so I grew up with my maternal grandma stuffing Nicaraguan food down my gullet since I could chew. She usually makes her arroz alla valenciana with Vienna sausages instead of ham. Odd, I know, but I think it was out of necessity from when she first moved to the states dirt poor, and it transitioned into a habit.
I hope to see some more Nica recipes in th future. :D

The occupiers seem to be late teens or early 20's and they are coming to the realization that not everything in life is going to be handed to them. It's gotta be Wall Street's fault, it's obvious.

We purchase this bat about a month ago for our 13 year old boy. According to him the bat is awesome. He says the balance is awesome and that the sweet spot is huge. He also mentioned that the pop off of this bat is impressive. As his dad I love this bat too. Makes him a more confident hitter just because of the performance of the bat. Would recommend this bat to other players.
Pros: Great bat! Good balance and awesome pop.
Cons: None
Bottom Line: I would recommend to a friend

The Xbox One's launch lineup of 23 titles is the strongest in the history of console releases, Microsoft corporate vice president Phil Harrison told CVG in a new interview.
"Ultimately it's the games that make Xbox One stand out, and we have the best lineup of games--we think--in the history of consoles," Harrison said.
Launch titles for the Xbox One include big-budget and high-profile games like Call of Duty: Ghosts and Battlefield 4, as well as free-to-play fighting game Killer Instinct and various sports titles like Madden NFL 25, NBA Live 14, and FIFA 14.
In Europe, FIFA 14 will be included as a free pack-in game for all Xbox One preorders.
"We clearly have strong exclusive games, and we have partnered with EA to bring FIFA to Europe in a very meaningful way. Football in Europe is the sport, and in some countries it's the religion," Harrison said.
Xbox One exclusives coming to the platform at launch include Dead Rising 3, Fighter Within, Ryse: Son of Rome, and Forza Motorsport 5, among others.
The Xbox One launches in November for $500.

Modified Mustangs & FordsFeatured Vehicles
1963 Ford Falcon Futura Sedan - All She Needs Is Six
Meet a 12-Second, 6-Cylinder, Turbocharged, V-8 killer
Down under, their engine remained mostly stock, including cast pistons, factory rods, and a nodular-iron crank, all strong testimony to the integrity of Ford's once-mainstream six. Because turbocharging can be deadly for an engine without adequate fuel delivery and proper spark timing, Will opted for a high-output fuel pump with a 1/2-inch line, a fuel-pressure regulator, 350-cfm Holley two-barrel carburetion, a Ford Duraspark distributor curved for turbocharging, Mallory boost control, and MSD ignition parts for precise engine control. Will then fabricated a custom turbo system designed to work hand-in-hand with the tall-deck 250ci six. Check out the ceramic-coated plumbing which keeps extreme heat inside the system where it belongs. That's a Garrett AiResearch 58mm turbo yielding six pounds of boost.
Getting a classic Falcon to crack a 12-second quarter-mile isn't for the weak of heart, but this is Kelly McLearran we're talking about. Building a 12-second drag racer takes a lot of trial and error beyond the engine itself, but Kelly is used to that and accustomed to meeting expectations. Much of their success is rooted in gearing, component selection, and tuning technique. At press time, the McLearrans are running a tricked-out C4 transmission from Performance Automatic with a Hughes 3,500-rpm stall converter.
Drag racers rely not only on power output to achieve success, but dialing in just the right gearing and transmission-shift tuning. Right now, they have a 9-inch Ford with 3.89 gears and 33-spline Moser axles. This combination of parts has put them at 12.49. Their next step will be a Currie Alumin8 aluminum 8-inch third member to reduce weight and parasitic drag. Underhood, they're planning on updating to the anticipated way-cool cross-flow cylinder head from Ford Six Performance Parts.
Photo GalleryView Photo Gallery
On the ground, the McLearrans relied on a variety of off-the-shelf pieces like Granada single-piston front disc brakes, stock leaf springs, Competition Engineering shocks, Weld Draglites, and Mickey Thompson ET tires. Outside is the original Ford Corinthian White enamel, which became Wimbledon White later on.
Inside, Kelly's office is all business and includes most of the Falcon's original appointments. Her desk includes an Auto Meter tachometer with shift light, boost gauge, and vital engine instruments.
Kelly credits her family and a close circle of friends for both her personal success and the Falcon's. Call it a terrific support system we all need in life. Kelly McLearran is a remarkably rare human being who took a negative experience and spun it 180-degrees to positive, not only succeeding as an ambitious drag racer but as someone who has successfully beaten cancer.
If you would like to know more about breast cancer research and how you can help Kelly help others, please e-mail her at email@example.com.

I have a horizontal list of images to which I would love to apply an infinite-scroll within a div. Ideally this would just be the window itself, but for right now it's a div.
It is like so: http://theleesargentshow.com/porter/scroll.php.
I think this involves a bit of a hack to Paul Irish's infinite scroll(?) I know I can now set localMode to true in 1.2 for it to work inside of a div, but I also know (think) that I need to trick the browser into thinking content from what would be "next pages." I can't quite figure out how to do that. I've searched and searched and now I would love for you geniuses to offer your brilliant thoughts. Thanks!

William S. Burroughs on the Virus of Language
2007-07-07 08:05:00
The Lizard King speaks for himself and needs no motherfucking introduction. All I will say to preface this: it's way less insane than it sounds. Head on over to Panspermia.org and read up on Introns. (For a soundtrack, check out DJ Multiple Sex Partners' recent mix "Sound Sigils.") Meanwhile, read, enjoy, think:
My basis theory is that the written word was literally a virus that made spoken word possible. The word has not been recognized as a virus because it has achieved a state of stable symbiosis with the host...(This symbiotic relationship is now breaking down for reasons I will suggest later.)
I quote from MECHANISMS OF VIRUS INFECTION edited by Mr. Wilson Smith, a scientist who really thinks about his subject instead of merely correlating data. He thinks, that is, about the ultimate intentions of the virus organism. In an article entitled VIRUS ADAPTIBILITY AND HOST RESISTANCE by G. Belyavin, speculations as to the biologic goal of the virus species are enlarged ...
?Viruses are obligatory cellular parasites and are thus wholly dependant upon the integrity of the cellular systems they parasitize for their survival in an active state. It is something of a paradox that many viruses ultimately destroy the cells in which they are living..."
And I may add the environment necessary for any cellular structure they could parasitize to survive. Is the virus then simply a time bomb left on this planet to be activated by remote control? An extermination program in fact? In its path from full virulence to its ultimate goal of symbiosis will any human creature survive? Is the white race, which would seem to be more under virus control than the black yellow and brown races, giving any indication of workable symbiosis?
"Taking the virus eye view, the ideal situation would appear to be one in which the virus replicates in cells without in any way disturbing their normal metabolism.' This has been suggested as the ideal biological situation toward which all viruses are slowly evolving..."
Would you offer violence to a well intentioned virus on its slow road to symbiosis?
It is worth noting that if a virus were to attain a state of wholly benign equilibrium with its host cell it is unlikely that its presence would be readily detected OR THAT IT WOULD NECESSARILY BE RECOGNIZED AS A VIRUS. I suggest that the word is just such a virus.
Doktor Kurt Unruh von Steinplatz has put forth an interesting theory as to the origins and history of this word virus. He postulates that the word was a virus of what he calls BIOLOGIC MUTATION effecting the biologic change in its host which was then genetically conveyed. One reason that apes cant talk is because the structure of their inner throats is simply not designed to formulate words.
He postulates that alteration in inner throat structure were occasioned by virus illness ... And not occasion ... This illness may well have had a high rate of mortality but some female apes must have survived to give birth to the wunder kindern. The illness perhaps assumed a more malignant form in the male because of his more developed and rigid muscular structure causing death through strangulation and vertebral fracture. Since the virus in both male and female precipitates sexual frenzy through irritation of sex centers in the brain the males impregnated the females in their death spasms and the altered throat structured was genetically conveyed. Having effected alterations in the host's structure that resulted in a new species specially designed to accomodate the virus the virus can now replicate without disturbing the metabolism and without being recognized a virus. A symbiotic relationship has now been established and the virus is now built into the host which sees the virus as a useful part of itself.

can't play .wmv videos
I have a mid '07 MacBook, 10.6.8, Flip4Mac is installed. I can see the video playing but I have no sound. Sound is set to play through internal speakers. Other things play fine. Why do I have no sound on a .wmv video? What can I look for?
It's not wmv generally, it's the audio codec used in the particular wmv you're trying to play. You can add Perian (no longer supported but still works) to fix this issue.
I have Perian installed. It doesn't work. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling it. It still doesn't work. What else can I check?
You're correct. It still works with QuickTime 7 Pro, but not with the Mavericks install of QuickTime X. Sorry about that.
Alternatives: download and install VLC (free) and see if that will play the file in question. Alternatively, use a converter program like iFFmpeg etc to convert the audio codec portion into something standard.
The best thing to do in my opinion is download the latest compatible version of vlc player for mac.
I have Snow Leopard (mentioned in the first post) and can't even install Mavericks.
I hadn't heard of VLC. When I tried it, it threw me for a couple seconds as I had the opposite problem, sound and no video. When I clicked in the video area, then it showed up, so I guess it works. Thanks! I appreciate it.
