Fate (Paperback)
Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
For the past two years, Bailey Morgan has lived a double life: high school student by day, ancient mystical being by night. As the third Fate, Bailey literally controls the fate of the world, but as Plain Old Bailey, her life is falling apart. She's got a tattoo that was supposed to be temporary (but isn t), friendships that were supposed to last forever (but might not), and no idea what her future holds after high school graduation.
Then Bailey meets the rest of the Sidhe, an ancient race defined by their power, beauty, and a sinister habit of getting what they want at any cost. Before Bailey knows it, she's being drawn into an otherworldly web more complicated than anything she weaves as a mortal Fate.

Skip to comments.Scott Brown joins Dems and votes to end debate on jobs bill
Posted on 02/22/2010 3:09:01 PM PST by mystery-ak
Newly-seated Republican Sen. Scott Brown (Mass.) on Monday joined Democrats in voting to end debate on their $15 billion jobs bill.
Brown crossed the aisle after Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) nixed an $85 billion, bipartisan plan in favor of a more narrowly-focused bill.
(Excerpt) Read more at thehill.com ...
Wow. Just him?
Not a surprise.
Well, that didn't take long.
Has Scott been able to play hoops with Obama yet?
here we go, but then we know what usually comes from Mass.
Wow! That was quick.
I thought Brown would be a strong fiscal conseravtive.
I was so wrong. He is a bigtime RINO.
MA, you sent another lawyer to Congress, what did you expect?
Can we get our donation back? What a disappointment he's turning out to be.
Look for alot of mavericky doings in the future by Mr. Brown. He's Mitt Romney with a boston accent.
He voted in FAVOR of RomneyCare, That should be a clue.
Our hero
Well, 15 billion is better then the original 85 Billion.
They were going to spend it anyway - everyone knew that.
I hope Mass go the recall route on this jerk.
Or hopefully he is saying yes but plans to blindside them with a no vote when they think they have the votes; albeit, not likely...
We knew some of this was coming. It was part of the price of admission. Doesn't make it any better for us, though.
Scott Brown in the end, as he helped us kill ObamaCare...
will ALSO help us kill Romney. Conservatives will wake up to Scott Brown and be reminded what Romney offers us.
Susan Collins (Maine) and Olympia Snowe (Maine) also voted for cloture on the proposal. Reitiring GOP Sen. George Voinovich (Ohio) also voted for cloture.
Brown duped a lot of FReepers, but it's nice to see that common sense is starting to prevail.
This is why I didn't jump on the bandwagon supporting him.
there goes his chance to win friends and influence people....he has joined the enemy
To who? I wouldn't choose to use that word for someone who voted to end debate on something that will probably get 50% of his party's support.
Just saying that word carries a lot of weight with some of us, be careful who you direct it towards.
For cripe sake...he said he was an Independent.
Why in hell do people on FR throw a fit every time an Independent turns out not to be a hardcore conservative in everything they say and do?
Absence of leadership in the GOP.
I knew he wasn't a real conservative, but I didn't really expect him to jump ship this fast. Why does he think he was elected?
Looks like he beat Collins and Snow to the lifeboats.
I never even considered him as a presidential candidate, but I thought he'd be at least moderately good as a Senator from Massachusetts.
Evidently not.
Since I have absolutely no idea what is in Scott Brown's head this is complete speculation.
I can see giving Harry Reid a win on a much reduced jobs bill so that the accusation of "Republicans always say no to everything" can't be as believable in the future. This could *really* help us when (and if) the health care votes come around.
Just a theory but it could be operative.
It's too early to reach such a conclusion.
Is Brown going to turn out to be a Dem plant?
Thinking back, the White House was not really that shaken when he won.
The Congress version of Justice Souter?
Just another pretty face.
So much for falling on a grenade for the greater good.
Like most in the GOP, he's a back-stabber, not a squad-saver.
I didn't send him $$$$ because I am saving for building some gallows in DC.
Elections matter not anymore.
At least he helped throw the commies off track for a bit...hope he gets to play hoops before they all hang.
Bizzare, isn't it? ha.
I could not help but think of you when I saw this headline.
I'd call him an AROM (A Republican of Massachusetts).
Looks like Massachusetts produces only rotten fruit. SB is like an apple that is rotten on one side but edible on the other-—
Better than a kennedy... but how much... time will tell... but this ain't good.
That sound you hear is my grinding my teeth.
"This is not Ted Kennedy's seat, not the Democrats seat.." but I will vote as if it were.
What is this guy's email address?
Because said people are politically unrealistic in the extreme.
Where are those CPAC dopes that were touting this guy as the next one who should run for President in 2012? LMAO
That's a very good point.
I thought the exact same thing!! Did you get a nice thank you letter from Scott Brown last week? Glad I shredded it. Hey, I lived in MA and now live in NY so I am well aware of RINO's but this is stunning. What a crock. I feel sucker punched.
Let him change his party affiliation to Independent like Lieberman did. If you vote for a Rat bill that Republicans weren't allowed to offer amendments to, then you are a Rat.
Sen. Ben Cardin (D., Md.) said all four of the bill's components have individually been backed by Republicans and therefore there is no reason by the party's lawmakers not to support the legislation.
Mr. Cardin said the bill would save or create 1.3 million jobs, which would be a much-needed shot in the arm to the moribund employment picture.
15 Billion for 1.3 million jobs? I think that is a much better deal than Obama's 787 billion for 2 million jobs? LOL, anyone who believes these quacks needs their head examined.
To those who could not wait to make him President, you are stupid.
Funny...I don't seem to recall him having an (I) next to his name on the ballot. But then again, he didn't mention being a Republican once in his acceptance speech.

McCain Holds Town Hall in Town
The ever-popular bar/bat mitzvah location for my friends of middle school days, the Jewish Community Center on Dahlia St. takes a break from such festivities to host John McCain today starting at 10 am.
McCain is in town holding a town hall meeting to discuss his health care plan. McCain's position on the issue contrasts sharply with his Democratic rivals who have both called for differing levels of universal health care coverage—Barack Obama advocating mandatory coverage for children while aiming for universal insurance, Hillary Clinton requiring insurance for everyone. Both would pay for their plans by rolling back President Bush's tax cuts for households making over $250,000 a year. McCain believes in the competition of a free-market system and encourages tax credits for individuals to purchase their own plans. He insists that a tax increase will not be necessary.
McCain was last in town in March for a fundraiser at the Denver Athletic Club with former Massachusetts governor and onetime GOP rival Mitt Romney.
The choice of the JCC is a notable one for McCain, who is courting the traditionally-Democratic leaning Jewish vote with his staunch support of Israel. Polls taken after the Pennsylvania Democratic primary suggest that Clinton carried over 60 percent of the Jewish vote, giving credence to the reports that Obama continues to lack the support of establishment Jewish leaders. Eying Obama's late condemnation of Jimmy Carter's trip to the Middle East to meet with Hamas and his controversial former pastor Jeremiah Wright's remarks that some believe cast Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan in a too-positive light, McCain sees an opening and hopes to strengthen his appeal amongst independents to include the Jewish community at large.

The choice of Colorado is also a notable one for McCain, who will have to play strong defense in the state to prevent it from falling into Democratic hands come November. Colorado's nine electoral votes have long been targeted by the Democratic National Committee as key pickups in a state that epitomizes the western "purple" trend of growing urban centers and Latino populations who have bolstered Democratic registrations. As he looks forward to see a Democratic governor and State House, the Democratic National Convention arriving in August and the race for a highly prized open senate seat neck-and-neck, McCain may be making a few more trips to the Mile High City before November.

Entry Pack '08 (TCG)
| エントリーパック '08/
The Entry Pack '08 (Japanese: エントリーパック '08) and Entry Pack '08 DX (Japanese: エントリーパック '08 DX) are Japanese-exclusive Half Deck Deck Kits released alongside the Moonlit Pursuit/Dawn Dash expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game.
The Deck Kits, much like the original Entry Pack released alongside Space-Time Creation, consist of Half Decks based on the Generation IV starters and their evolutions: Torterra, Infernape, and Empoleon. The Entry Pack '08 DX also contains an additional Raichu Half Deck. Unlike the original however, all 30 Pokémon cards available in the Half Decks were brand-new. A new Supporter card, Mom's Kindness, also debuted as part of the kits. All but twelve of the cards (six Trainer cards and the six basic Energy cards) were eventually released in Majestic Dawn, alongside the remaining cards from Moonlit Pursuit and Dawn Dash (those which were not released in Secret Wonders or Great Encounters).
Like other Half Decks, both Entry Packs also include a rulebook, damage counters, status counters, and a custom coin. Both versions also come with a playmat and demonstrative DVD. The standard Entry Pack '08 also comes with a compact how-to guide; the Entry Pack '08 DX comes with a more detailed beginner's guide, stickers, and box for storing additional counters.

Steamboat Springs Colorado
Posted by carlpyt On July 15th, 2016
On 7-12 I left Steamboat Lake for an enjoyable ride (no pushing the bike) of 33 miles to Steamboat Springs, stopping in Clark for these huge pancakes. Found a motel in Steamboat for $75 within walking distance to downtown. Now that's a deal in Steamboat. Steamboat has massive ski runs on the mountains that flank the town on the east and the west. It's like Mammoth with it's year round outdoor activities.
I toured the town using their free bus service with scheduled 1/2 hour pick ups. I spent two days here…just love this place. I was luckly that there was a mt. bike race on Wed with all age groups. Also, the Yampas River runs alongside the town with tubing a big hit. A bike paths parallels the river shaded by full grown trees. I went through my things and was able to send 8 lbs of stuff home. On 7-14 as I was heading out of town on my way to Kremmling, via the bike path, I took a photo of this fly fisherman.
I decided to ride the state highways to Kremmling, avoiding some of the nasty back "roads". I was able to ride 54 miles with some of these miles climbing toward Gore pass the first day out of Steamboat. I camped last night off the highway with cattle standing guard. This morning, I started the day, working my way to Gore pass at 9500+ with the pesky flies in my face and biting my legs. The downhill to Kremmling was long and sweet and too fast for the flies.
I'm working on my blog in the office of this RV campground that I stayed in 2009 when riding across the U.S.
The "road" less traveled.
Posted by carlpyt On July 14th, 2016
My anxiety started to abate when I got on my bike on 7-08-16 and headed out of Rawlins, Wyoming. The first 26 miles were a joy…steady riding with beautiful ranch land and not a care in the world. Then, the Big Dipper, like in roller coaster, knocked the smugness out of me. The unfortunate thing about riding solo is that there is no one to take any photos of you pushing your bike up these unforgiving hills. It would probably look comical from the rear.
I was reluctant to go too fast downhill just trying to delay the inevitable of having to get off the bike and start pushing again. Later in the day a young kid rides up besides me and asked if I would like to ride with him. It was a nice of him, but I informed him that I was wasted and was looking for a place to set up camp. I could see him vanishing over the next monster hill as I pulled off on to a small gravel road and scouted for a place to bed down. I was so wasted that I rolled out my sleeping pad and laid flat on my back…that's all the energy I could muster…I was running my empty.
After some time, I finally was able to set up my tent and make a home for myself. No dinner. I was just too exhausted to fix it, and where was Beverly, anyhow. I was able to take a couple of nice sunset photos because I was camped out on a bluff. I guess there are some things that you're never too tired to do. In the middle of the night I went outside barefoot, to see a man about a car and like wow!!! I felt like I was walking on hot coals. Actually, the ground was covered with stickers. I think they call them Texas tacks. I rode 42 miles that first day.
The next day I rode only 12 miles, adding the accumulated effects of the day before with more monster hills. There's a photo of my tent set up in the brush. Charlie had better accommodations in the Vietnam jungle. I spent the day trying to get my energy back by taking it easy and eating more and filling up on water. There was a stream nearby and I used my water filter. Another fly in the ointment, so to speak, were these pesky biting flies that just wouldn't leave you alone. When I got inside my tent I would spend more than forever swatting flies against the sides of my tent with my cap.
Sunday started out nice, going through Aspen Alley (check out photo) and then riding on State highwway 70. Then, it was back to gravel with those nasty hills. There is a photo of a road that rises forever. I can't remember how many miles I rode and pushed but I finally set up camp off the side of the road (check out photo). Actually, while I was struggling to get my bike and trailer up on this knoll, this carload of Charlie Manson lookalikes stops and does all the work for me. I bet they're still talking about this crazy old man on the side of the hill. Also, there's a photo of cows staring at me through the fence.
Well, things finally improved on Monday when I made it to Steamboat Lake. It was a relatively short ride but I wasn't going to by pass up luxurious camping, like level ground and a table to eat on. In case you wondering, the last shower was in Rawlins. By the way, I'm writing this piece from a motel room in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, where I did shower. I have a lot to say about Steamboat and several photos but I'll save those gems for the next episode.
Back to finish the Divide Ride
Posted by carlpyt On July 8th, 2016
I'm writing this from a motel room in Rawlins, Wyoming where tomorrow morning I'll start pedaling to the Mexican border. On June 30th, I left Altadena in my truck with my bike and gear heading to Ft.Collins, where I spent the past few days visiting with my older son, Kenny and wife Rhonda, and granddaughters, Emily and Jessi.
Today (7-7-16) Kenny drove the granddaughters and myself to Rawlins, where I got dropped off while they took off for a three day backpacking trip. To get a general idea where I'll be headed in the next few days, check out a map or use Google Earth, and go south from Rawlins to Steamboat Springs, Colorado. Hope you enjoy the blog and it means a lot to me to know that you're "pedaling" along with me. There will be photos in future blogs.

I had a tough time sleeping in my Rock Springs motel room because my mind was preoccupied with the start of the next day's ride. What happened is that I lost my sense of direction. East felt like west and west felt like east. Twice, I got up in the middle of the night and took a map and a compass out to see which of the two on ramps on I-80 I should use. One was closer to the direction I wanted to go, west, but it felt like it was going east. My mind said one direction while the map and compass said the opposite.
On Saturday, I started my ride just before 7am and headed the direction the map told me to go. As I got to the on ramp my sense of direction amazing returned. I rode 7 miles on I-80 and got off the ramp to U.S. 191. As soon as I got on U.S. 191, I started climbing, climbing, climbing. Even when I reached the plateau the climbs continued. Finally, when I reached the south end of the plateau the road descended, but only for a few miles. I couldn't believe it, it started climbing. There's a photo of one of the climbs which in the distance I couldn't believe was an actual road until I saw a car coming down. With about 100 yards to the top of this hill I had to push the bike.
With a 1/4 of a mile to Dutch John, which took me 12 hours to complete 66 miles, there was of course, a hill. There was tent camping behind the general store, and I was informed that the ride to Vernal had more down hills. Not so. The ride started downhill toward the Flaming Gorge Dam but the road climbed the rest of the day from 6,500 feet at the dam to 8400 at the summit. There was one stretch which I believe set the record for the longest continuous ascent.
To add insult to injury, it started to rain, and this was cold downpour rain. At one point, I was pushing my bike up this steep hill, getting soaked, while cars, semis, motor homes, etc. were gunning their engines as they passed along side me on their way to the top. Visibility would have been better looking through a gunnysack.
Now, the best part. The rain stopped, and there was finally, sun. A few miles after the summit there was this sign, which I wanted to take a photo of but too wet to get the camera out, that stated that there were 10 switchbacks ahead with 9% being the steepest descent. The switchbacks were incredibly long and it was basically, a thrill ride with the bike careening close to the edge of the road seemingly, forever. I'll never forget this descent. Hopefully, they have a name for it. I made it to Vernal around 6pm.
I left Vernal, Utah just before 7am because I was scheduled to meet my brother, Tony, in Rangely, Colorado at 5pm…53 miles and I didn't know what the terrain was like. Well, overall, it was one of the more forgiving rides: flat, downhills, no wind, and with reasonable ascents. I made it to Dinosaur, Colorado at 12:30 and this is 15 miles north of Rangely.
I called my brother and he said that he was near Rangely and would head my way and pick me up. Around six miles outside of Dinosaur, Tony spotted me, stopped, and we loaded his SUV with the bike and trailer.
Good thing I didn't attempt to ride to Grand Junction because the highway from Rangely to GJ is, in a nut shell, not made for bicycles, very dangerous. After spending the night at Tony's we drove to Primm, Nevada, spent the night there and headed for Altadena.
In Primm, I talked to Beverly about my need to see a doctor regarding my blistered lower lip which has been driving me insane with a constant burning sensation. She set up an appointment for 3:30 on the day we would arrive, Wednesday.
While at my doctor's, I decided to mention that my legs, especially, the left one would get swollen during the day but at night return to normal. He didn't waste anytime sending me to the lab to draw blood. The lab results showed that I needed an ultra sound. The ultra sound confirmed that I have Deep Vein Thrombosis DVT and require treatment, now.
After instructions from the nurse, I injected Lovenox into my right love handle and will have to do this twice a day for seven days, along with taking Warfarin (anticoagulant) probably for the rest of my life because I had the same problem five years ago. The doctor's appointment was for 3:30 and we:Tony, Beverly, and yours truly, didn't get home until 11:30.
I often wonder how things would have turned out if I would have continued the ride and not bailed early or by not having a blistered lip that got me in the doctor's office or by not mentioning the swollen legs.
Anyhow, I hope you enjoyed the ride.
As Always, Carl
Addendum: My doctor also, made a referral for me to see a hematologist (blood doctor). One day short of finishing giving myself injections I saw a hematologist. His conclusion was that I didn't have another blood clot but that the swelling is the result of the vein in my left leg narrowing. He recommended compression socks (see photo) and told me to discontinue the injections and the Warfarin….Hooray!
The Latest Plan
Posted by carlpyt On September 13th, 2014
After leaving Whiskey Grove Campground there's only a little over two miles of gravel before the road turns to pavement and pavement all the way to Pinedale, which is only 35 miles. I heard from many sources that the road is either flat or downhill, not so, there are numerous inclines and they weren't ant hills. Oh well!
Arriving at Pinedale was a shocker when I looked for a room to rent. Nothing under $90. The RV park was right in the middle of town, but it made the Bates Motel look like the Hilton. I was concerned that someone would make off with my things, so I got a $90 room.
Pinedale, according to the author of Cycling the Great Divide, is the last supply point before heading across the 3 to 4 day wasteland known as the Great Divide Basin. So my main concern was making sure I was going to make it across the basin by having enough food and water. This trek has been on my mind since the start of the tour and at times even before.
I bought a couple of extra water bottles, peanut butter, six Top Ramen "meals", cookies, instant oatmeal, fig nutens, and candy.
The next morning, when I went to check out the motel's breakfast, I discovered that the coffee machine was broken and so was the waffle maker. I rushed into the reception area and had a hizzie fit. The receptionist was very apologetic and reduced my bill to $64…nice. But the sad part was when she related, tearfully, how the hotel changed hands the day before and everyone was getting canned.
On 9-09-14, I packed my things and rode the 14 miles to Boulder to stay in a RV park at $15 a day. Boulder is basically, a gas station, connivance store, and cafe. It's also,14 miles closer to the Great Divide Basin.
By chance, the maintenance staff informed me about the National Weather Service and that all I needed to do was click on the area that I was concerned with and I would receive the latest 5 day forecast.
That's exactly what I, did and what a shocker the forecast was for the Great Divide Basin. Rain, snow, wind gusts up to 27mph. Everything but hot lava. The storm would start on Wednesday night and clear out on Friday. So my plan was to stay at the RV campground until Friday am and then take off for the Great Divide Basin.
On Wednesday evening, I read over all the caveats regarding the Great Divide Basin and thought I don't want to really to do it. Moments later I was checking my voice mail, which by the way I never check, and saw a message from my brother. Beverly informed me that Tony is planning on going to Ojai next week and will pass right by our house on his way. I called Tony and I mentioned that Boulder is almost directly north of Grand Junction where he lives. Basically, highway 191. By going with my brother I won't have to ship my bike home and will avoid the hassle of flying.
So, here's the latest plan. Yesterday (9-11-14) I took off from Boulder with the crazy idea that I could ride the 88 miles to Rock Springs. Well, even with the best of days I don't thing I can do 88 miles, and it wasn't the best of days. The highway was a roller coaster with some real challenging climbs and then the wind started. Check the photo with the American flag taken in Farson, Wyoming. Now if the wind was at my back I would have made Rock Springs and points further south. By the way, I spent the night at the Bates Motel in Farson,
The next morning, I knew I was in for it, when I saw all the full size pick up's and stake bed trucks parked in front of the cafe across from the motel. Sure enough, when I walked in with my Little Lord Fauntleroy bike shorts with leg warmers, heads turned from the bunch of farmers having their coffee. One farmer even directed a comment toward me about riding a bicycle out on the highway, but I didn't get the particulars and I wasn't going to ask for a repeat.
I made it to Rock Springs at around 1pm today. It was only 42 miles but I couldn't make it to the next town, which is Dutch John, Utah because it would have been over 100 miles. Tomorrow I'm headed to Dutch John, which is not a town, but a resort on the Green River, that also has tent camping. Eventually, I'll make it to Grand Junction and then Tony and I will head to Southern California with bike and trailer.
By the way, the photo with the ruts in the dirt was made by the cover wagons of the pioneers in the 1850s.
Less Miles…. More Enjoyment
Posted by carlpyt On September 9th, 2014
On 9-04-14, after finishing my blog, I got a pizza and Gatorade for lunch and took off for a campground that was only 25 miles away. I thought about going over Togwotee Pass 9,658′ when told by two different people that it was only 11 miles to the top, but decided to set up camp, even though it was only 3:30. Can you believe, that I actually bought firewood. Now that's a first.
The next day, I started fresh in attacking Togwotee (take the w out to pronounce it) Pass. When I got to 9 miles I thought it's going to have to get really steep to gain another 1,000 feet. Well,11 miles went by and no pass, which was a relief. Finally, at 18 miles I reached the summit. It was a good decision to be lazy the day before.
It was quite a ride coming down the other side. There was a sign that showed that for the next nine miles there was a 2 to 6% descent. The only problem, was the cold air, that was blasting you in the face.
I stopped at the Lava Mountain Resort to warm up and get some goodies. What was interesting was that it was $15 to pitch your tent and $25 to rent a cabin. It was early, and I really planned on going further, but I asked to see the cabins and bingo. The rest is history.
Besides, the comfort in not sleeping on dirt, I was able to get the funk out of my clothes with the Laundromat. I had diner at the resort's restaurant which included two beers.
9-06-14, was a tough day. It started with a nice, mostly downhill 15 mile ride on a highway, but after leaving the highway the road turned to uphill gravel for almost five miles. I was able to ride the whole way with frequent stops to catch my breath. It was the next climb, Union Pass 9,210 that got me off the bike and into the pushing mode for over four miles.
I rode as far as South Fork Fish Creek because there is plenty of water and the next reliable water source was too far away. Where I camped was not an "official" campground, but just a fire ring out on a knoll that had a fantastic panoramic view. There was one disconcerting thing that could interrupt your sleep, and that was the sign about 50 yards away informing you about Grizzly Bears.
There were no grizzly bears, at least, I didn't see any or hear any, but it did get cold. By the time I got my camera out the digital thermometer went from 22 to 24 degrees. That frost not frosting on my bike seat. Because I knew that today's ride would only be 25 miles I took my time packing in addition I wanted the sun to defrost my gear.
I left camp at 10am and rode to Whiskey Campground. There was a lot of downhill riding but it was pretty technical. You had to keep your reflexes in overload to keep from spilling. As soon as I got off my bike at the campground it started to rain with lightening and thunder. I set up tent and tossed my gear inside. My campsite was about 40 feet from the roaring Green River. I put my food in a bag with a note that I was a bike camper, in the outhouse, for bear protection.
Widow Maker
Posted by carlpyt On September 4th, 2014
On Sunday, 8-31-14 the skies looked much better, but there were still some dark clouds hanging around. As I was following Gary and Gail away from the motel, I made a decision not to go the way they were headed and instead decided to take the I-15 to Monida and catch the bike route from there. I was concerned about the 10 miles of mud the sacrosanct bike route took one through.
The I-15 had a wide shoulder, there was little or no traffic, and I cut 10 miles off the route. I learned a lot from Lance Armstrong. Some time after I arrived at Red Rock Lake campground, in strolls Gary and Gail, mud and all.
The camp had its resident kook. He had a nice truck but talked about sleeping in the campground's restroom because of the rain the night before. I told him that there wouldn't be any rain for the next seven days. He decided to sleep in a horse trailer that was parked next to sage brush instead of the out house. That night we had thunder, lightening, and rain. The next day this Kook starts yelling at me "you said there wasn't going to be any rain". Oh well.
On 9-1-14, after enduring route 455, which was a poor excuse for a single track, I met up with G&G at a Subway next to U.S. 20. Gary said that they were going another 30 miles and I said that I was pooped and couldn't go any further. We said our goodbyes and wished each other best wishes and that maybe we might see each other down the road.
They took off and I rode down U.S. 20 looking for a camp site. I finally found one, and sat down at a picnic table and looked over the bike map. It was around 3:30 and I thought it was too early to camp. I saw that I could take U.S. 20 to U.S. 47 and end up at the place G&G were headed to without riding on mushy gravel.
I took off on the bike and rode on U.S. 20, which wasn't the nicest road to bike on, but finally got to U.S. 47 which was a cyclist's dream; a smooth flat, with occasional hills that went down, road with a wide shoulder, beautiful scenery, and no traffic. My plan was to sleep off the side of the road, but when I got to Mesa Falls, my destination, there was the Grandview Campgrounds. Wow! and it was starting to get dark. So, I ended up, like G&G, riding 60 miles.
On 9-2-14, I rode about two miles and who do I see drying out their tent, G&G. Today's ride was from Mesa falls to Flagg Ranch, 47 miles, and as Mr. McCoy, the author for cycling the Divide, writes, there's some rough road but flat. Rough Road, that's like saying Hiroshima was a fire cracker. It was the deal breaker, the prima dona, the widow maker, of all the "roads" I rode since starting the Divide. Flat? We gained over 4,000′. I think I pushed my bike more than I rode it. A four wheeler would have a though time on this "road". G&G left a note on the road which showed that they were an hour ahead of me.
I arrived at Flagg Ranch just after dark and couldn't find G&G so I set up my tent and went to the lodge, very nice, and had a cheese burger and a Corona.
On 9-03-14, after looking around the camp grounds for G&G for not, I gave up and rode toward the Grand Tetons. When I got to the turn off for Colter Bay, I decided to ride there, because I knew that they had a good size store.
Stepping back a moment, the night before, after giving it some thought, I decided to give up the idea of riding to Mexico. I started too late, I have too much gear, I'm not enjoying the ride, it's becoming a beat the clock endeavor. I require more recovery time(age) and I'm not getting it. There's also altitude that I didn't give much thought to. I'm riding between 6,000 and 7,000 feet and that takes its toll. I'm doing a blog which takes time and one's forever looking for wifi. I had less pressure when I worked full time. Off road mountain biking with camping gear is nothing like touring on the road. I could feel myself relaxing when I decided that I would ride to Breckenridge, Colorado and check to see if Kenny would pick me up in a truck.
Listen to this, I decided to camp at Colter Bay, now that I don't have to hurry off to Mexico. and some time after setting up camp, G&G pull up and have the camp site next to mine. We started laughing. What's the chance? They spent last night at the lodge and not in the campground. They're staying the night, but are planning on riding 55 miles the next day. Forget that.
This morning, 9-04-14, We said our goodbyes, again, as G&G were packing their things and I was getting ready to head to the laundromat to work on my blog. Now for the photos.
Three Days in Two
Posted by carlpyt On August 30th, 2014
This post so soon after the last one is the result of rain. I'm currently in a motel room in Lima, MT, although, I should be on the road but woke up to rain and, a cold rain at that, and decided to stay put. Originally, I planned on taking three days to ride from the Elkhorn Hot Springs to Lima (as in Lima beans) but the two cyclists, Gary and Gail, informed me that they were going to ride 50 miles each day to make it in two days.
Two days seemed over the top. I stopped at Bannack State Park (see photos), which is a ghost town but Gary and Gail rode on. I wouldn't recommend going to Bannack, but I would recommend Virginia City, Nevada and Brody, California.
After, Bannack it was a roller coaster ride on dirt (see photo, in addition we climbed 2240′ and descended 2670′). I just kept riding and riding throughout the day, and saw no reason to set up camp as long as there was plenty of sun and I felt reasonably strong. Thunder and lightening started to make it's presence known so I kept riding while looking for a place to set up camp.
After, riding 57+ miles I spotted Gary and Gail setting up their camp on a hillside covered with sagebrush. I dragged my bike and trailer about thirty feet up the hill to a flat area that was bare of sagebrush and steaming cow pies. As soon as I got my tent set up it started with a downpour. I climbed into my tent where it felt cozy as the rain slapped against it.
The rain was short lived, and I went out and set up my stove, and whipped up a bowl up Top Ramen. For dessert, I had fig newtons. The next morning, I flung the rain fly out of the way to check the weather. There were some awesome clouds and I reached over for my camera and took a photo of my trailer with the clouds in the background (see photo).
We started out around 8am for a long day to reach Lima. We got slammed with a nasty headwind as we rode in the open, but lucked out as we turned and rode parallel and close to these cliffs. The valley we were riding in was ranch land, and besides the Black Angus cattle, they grew hay for cattle feed in the Winter.
As we rode, actually, Gary and Gail were a ways ahead of me, a group of four wheelers rode pass me. The last member of the group was an older man who stopped to talk. He mentioned that there are five generations of his family that have been involved with the Hansen Ranch. His grandfather homesteaded the land. He pointed in the distance and said "see that mountain that looks like a tit well just to the right of it is where the road goes". Thanks.
The road the rancher was talking about, is Medicine Lodge Sheep Creek Divide, and it was one steep road (see photo of Gary and Gail pushing their bikes). To add insult to injury, we were told that it's all downhill on the other side. Not so.
After, putting in some miles the road turned into one long meandering downhill snake, that traversed the valley floor and then through a canyon with massive rock monolifts. What was interesting was the number of caves in these granite rock mountains.
The road surface for most of the ride was gravel, which can get old after a while, even if it's downhill. The cattle on the road (see photo) can be intimidating, especially, the ones without an utter. So far, the intimidation proves to be in one's imagination for they move away when you get close enough. Maybe they're playing Mexican standoff.
After, 43 miles of gravel and dirt you turn on to the frontage road that parallels the I-15. Only seven miles to go and on asphalt, You're home. Want to bet? As soon as you make the turn you get hit in the face with an unrelenting nasty headwind. I didn't think that I was going to make it to Lima. I stopped so many times to rest and felt like giving up. When I got within a mile, I picked up steam and here I am in Lima, like in Lima beans.

Elkhorn HOT SPRINGS, Montana
Posted by carlpyt On August 28th, 2014
This will be a short update. I've been at the Elkhorn Hot Springs for the past two days and it's been the highlight of the trip so far. I came close to missing this experience when I first spotted the steep climb off the main road and had to think twice before deciding to push my bike up this long gravel road. When I got to the top I checked my phone and noticed that there was no cell phone or internet service, so I decided to take off. When I rode by the lodge on my way out someone yelled for me to stop.
I stopped and when I was informed, yes, they don't have cell phone service but they do have internet service and the cost for a room is $35 which includes breakfast and the use of the pool facilities, I signed the dotted line.
The staff have been so gracious and helpful…is this a dream? The food was excellent and more than enough. I used the pool several times, which is surrounded by tall pines, well they look like pines. Overall, it has a rustic,Topanga Canyon, feel to it. I included photos.
Today, three other cyclists arrived and we shared our war stories. Tomorrow, we're off for more adventure.
Pavement…How Sweet it is
Posted by carlpyt On August 27th, 2014
In my last blog I said very little regarding Butte, that's because I saw very little of Butte. When I got off I-90 I went directly to the first motel I saw which was next to the off ramp. I rented a room and took a hot bath to thaw out my bones. I went to the Safeway down the street to get supplies for the next day's ride and then got a burger. I hadn't used the $20 the fly fisherman gave me.
I returned to my room, which looked like a war zone, and started working on my blog. I ran into a bunch of problems to the point that I had to get a hold of Keith. He was able to work the blog on his end. Just minutes before midnight I was able to complete my blog. I forgot to mention that I blew away several paragraphs of text when I transferred some photos to the blog and had to redo the text. Enough of Butte.
The ride out of butte on 8-23-14 went smooth for several miles then there was this brute of a climb. I had company for awhile when this woman, who is doing some of the Divide, pushed her bike along side me. She proved to be too young, too strong, and had minimal gear so It wasn't long before I was pushing alone.
Miles later, I reached a plateau where you actually cross over the Continental Divide. It was cold at the top and when I checked my thermometer it read 44 degrees.
The ride down from the Plateau went for miles through open range land with rolling hills and sage for the view. At times cattle stood in the road way, which was gravel, and I was concerned because it didn't look they would move, or if they did, it would be at me. Well, at the last moment, they would gallop off.
As the gravel road headed downward, I forgot to mention that I had to pushed my bike up numerous hills, toward the I-15 there were two choices when you reached the frontage road, turn left and end up the next day tackling a real nasty ass kicking, although scenic (like who's smelling the roses) section, or turn right and take the pavement for the next two days.
Forget the glory, I took the pavement, which turned out to be like riding on carpet, and the only concern I had was there were no campgrounds listed on the map that wasn't another day's ride away. My plan was to ride until I found some place off the side of the road where I could camp, but there was a problem, every square inch of land was fenced and festooned with No Trespassing signs.
As I turned off the frontage road, onto U.S. 43, I kept my eyes open for a place to bed down. If you forgot, my tent, tarp, and rain fly, are more than wet from the Merry Widow Campground soaking. Imagine, sleeping off the side of the road inside a dripping wet tent.
After riding a little over a mile, I saw it, but didn't believe it, Campgrounds. As I turned off the road toward the entrance, I was giddy but still skeptical that there was an actual campground. There it was, and with several available sites. In addition to the find, the sun popped out and I was able to dry out my gear. In addition, the neighbor next to me, brought over some hot dogs for my Ramen.
I took the road less traveled and how sweet it was.
On 8-25-14, I resumed riding on U.S. 43 which follows the Wise River. It was only 10 miles to the Wise River Cafe where my plan was to have breakfast. I had a big breakfast and followed it up with peach pie and ice cream. I used the $20 from the fly fisherman to pay for the breakfast. It was just enough.
I started down U.S. 43 and after about 2 miles I decided to check my map and compass and I discovered that I needed to go south on U.S. 73. There's a wasted 4 miles. This was another smooth as silk highway with minimal traffic. It's referred to as one of America's Scenic Byways.
As I was headed south this cyclist going north yells to me, " are you riding the whole mountain?". I was thinking what did he mean by that because the road only had a gradual incline. Well, I learned later that there are some tough climbs to get to tonight's campsite with more and tougher ones to follow tomorrow.
I camped at Little Joe's Campground, climbing 2100′. This has been basically, a roller coaster highway following the river where fishermen using drift boats with one person using oaks to hold the boat steady while the others fish.
I built a campfire for the first time since starting the Divide. I spent a lot of time fanning the fire to get it going. I found a log to sit on and wrote notes for my blog. I had to put my down jacket over my sleeping bag to keep warm. I found out the next morning with my digital thermometer that it got down to 26 degrees.
On 8-26-14, I started the day with one climb after another. I climbed close to 1500′ in 8 miles. There was this long steep descent that was exhilarating if not fun. I'm currently staying at the Elkhorn Hot Springs. This was a real find.

In late November of this year, the energy engineers, Harsha Holalu Ramakrishna and Daniel Paprocki of Energy Solutions, facilitated a session of the fall LEED Laboratory (ARC 590-012), an interdisciplinary course through NC State University's College of Design.
The 1 ½- hour course included information on conducting energy audits including a walk through at Nelson Hall to determine baseline energy use, focused on lighting. Energy Solutions, a Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department group, serves as the U.S. Department of Energy's Industrial Assessment Center, providing free energy audits to small- to medium-sized manufacturers. The group also serves other sectors with general and targeted energy surveys of high-energy users.
Nelson Hall, home of the Poole School of Management, is considering the aspects of acquiring the LEED Certification, with the help of students, university resources other experts in the field. Students are playing a key role in this documentation process. The LEED laboratory course is central to this certification effort.
Energy Solutions also provided information on conducting an ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigeration, and Air-Conditioning Engineers) Level II audit, a necessary component in obtaining the information necessary to make efficiency recommendations and implementations for LEED Certification.

By ALEX FRICK firstname.lastname@example.com HICKORY, N.C. – Gov. Pat McCrory likes Monday Night Football, and he likes to watch it in comfort. During a tour of the Catawba Valley Furniture Academy at Catawba Valley Community College on Monday morning, he said he looked forward to kicking back on furniture donated to the Governor's Mansion by Lee Industries and taking in the Seahawks-Redskins game scheduled for the evening
Lee, along with Century, Lexington Home Brands, Sherrill and Vanguard, came together to work with CVCC to design programs that will train people for the skilled positions they need filled.
McCrory strutted through the simulated furniture factory on CVCC's East Campus followed by a gaggle of furniture company and college representatives, reporters and staffers. He marveled at the cutting and sewing machines, upholstery equipment and finished pieces of furniture he saw.
"This is what it's all about," McCrory said. "It's connecting people with jobs and industries that are looking for talent. So we're making talent with education, and this is our objective throughout the state. What they're doing in Hickory could be a role model for the rest of the state. And it's also showing that we're not giving up on the furniture industry, and there's a future for the furniture industry in North Carolina to grow."
The furniture made in North Carolina is different than what's manufactured in China and Central America, he said, and consumers demand a level of quality that is bringing some of that manufacturing back to the United States.
He said he hoped the reach of the Furniture Academy would extend to middle and high school students through their guidance counselors.
"In the past 20 years, we've been saying, 'There's only one way to success. You've got to be a lawyer or dentist or something.' With all due respect, that's just not the way it is," he said.

The student chapter of the Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME) at North Carolina State University broke new ground when three of its members traveled to a Burlington, NC, hosiery manufacturing facility this fall.While helping Kayser-Roth Corporation, the team became the first student chapter on the East Coast of the United States and just the third in the country to provide a company with free assessment of its manufacturing processes and recommend improvements.
Wendy Johnson and Stephen Taylor, both seniors in industrial engineering, conducted the assessment under the supervision of Dr. Rohan Shirwaiker, assistant professor in the Edward P. Fitts Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering at NC State. Shirwaiker is the faculty advisor for SME's student chapter.
"This is a great educational program since it entails practical manufacturing experience for undergraduate students in addition to the local industry involvement," Shirwaiker said.
The project was a partnership with the Industrial Assessment Center (IAC) at NC State, one of 26 centers across the country sponsored by the US Department of Energy. The IAC provides small- to medium-sized companies with free assessments of their energy uses and recommended improvements. The center at NC State conducts about 25 of its energy assessments a year, for companies in North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia.
"Basically, we're there to help them save money, mostly through energy," said Dr. Stephen Terry, an extension assistant professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering and one of the directors of the IAC at NC State. "The other benefit of the program is that these students get trained."
Laval Choiniere, director of operations engineering for Kayser-Roth, said the company, which makes socks at its Burlington facility, is constantly trying to improve its processes and conserve energy.
He is often contacted by consultants who want to offer help improving Kayser-Roth's facilities. For Choiniere, having a team from NC State Engineering come to the Burlington plant was the best option. In 2012, the IAC at NC State conducted an energy assessment at Kayser-Roth's facility in Lumberton.
"I thought it was helpful to get another set of eyes looking at it," Choiniere said. He said the team from NC State was conscientious and easy to work with.
The exercise provided an opportunity for students like Johnson and Taylor to apply information learned in the classroom, from ergonomics to Six Sigma processes, in a working environment. "We basically pulled information from every undergraduate class that we've taken," she said. "The assessment also gave us a chance to work hand-in-hand with mechanical engineers who conduct IAC assessments."
Creating the activity brought a $2,000 grant to the student SME chapter, which the group will use to bring speakers to campus and to pay transportation costs when the group tours local manufacturing facilities. The SME student chapter at NC State has plans to conduct more process assessments in conjunction with IAC as part of a three-year partnership. "It was a win for everyone involved," Taylor said.

Observers of U.S. energy policy might think of energy efficiency as a useful investment strategy to smartly manage the growth of energy consumption. They might also see it as a cost-effective means to ease our transition into a post-carbon world. And yes, the evidence does support both of these notions. But there is also emerging evidence that demonstrates that energy and especially the more efficient use of that energy---plays a much more critical role within the economic process than is generally understood.
Building on the work of a number of noted economists and physicists, the new ACEEE report, Linking Energy Efficiency to Economic Productivity: Recommendations for Improving the Robustness of the U.S. Economy, explores the productive use of energy as it affects the robustness of the larger U.S. economy. It also explores the need for a more critical accounting of how work that is, the transformation of matter into available goods and services is enabled by the efficient conversion of high-quality energy called exergy. If exergy flows are neither properly measured nor adequately tracked, then business and policy leaders may be misreading the real dynamics of economic activity. That may lead to policy prescriptions that are suboptimal and dampen the economic well-being of the United States.

Hertford, NC – As part of the Northeastern Workforce Development Board's (NWDB) Sustainability Initiative, North Carolina State University began Commercial Energy Coordinator training at area hotels in Dare County.
Through a grant from the NWDB, NC State University's Industrial Extension Service (IES) is partnering with Energy Solutions, a fellow program in the College of Engineering to facilitate the training, which is intended to reduce energy-related costs for participating businesses.
Energy Solutions is a part of the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering that helps industry save energy and train the next generation of energy engineers exercising a 'fuel-neutral' position. Their team works in conjunction with IES to provide the technical component of the training, which is a hands-on course designed to train small- and mid-sized business owners and operators how to identify, evaluate, and address their energy efficiency performance. Subsequent knowledge and implementation of recommendations lead to reductions in costs.
Rex Raiford, IES Regional Manager for the northeast is particularly excited about the opportunity to help the hospitality industry. "Pooling our resources within the university to help this industry, one that is so important to the region's tourism economy is rewarding," said Raiford.
In January of 2010, the NWDB received a Department of Labor State Energy Sector Partnership Grant to focus on training in renewables and energy efficiency. Both business employees and unemployed building professionals are trained for current and future positions in the energy industry. This funding is providing IES with the resources to provide the Commercial Energy Coordinator training to eligible hospitality businesses. Eleven facilities are currently scheduled for the training across the region.
Participants develop an Energy Action Plan, identifying solutions for reducing their energy consumption. Training also includes classroom and real-world assessment activities. Upon successful completion of the program, participants will receive a certificate demonstrating their accomplishment.
IES brings research and expertise from NC State University's College of Engineering to the workplace, to help businesses and organizations thrive. IES will work anywhere, with any industry, to solve problems and deliver results like lower costs, better products, and higher efficiencies. Since 1996, IES has been the state agency for the federal Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP).
Energy Solutions, works with industrial, commercial, governmental, and institutional facilities to save energy and to train the next generation of energy engineers exercising a "fuel-neutral" position. Energy Solutions touches hundreds of clients, recommending efficiency/conservation initiatives of which typically 50 percent are implemented, resulting in an average of $7 million in energy savings annually. Energy Solutions also serves as one of 24 Industrial Assessment Centers in the country.
NWDB is the northeast region's WIA (Workforce Investment Act of 1998) federal grant training entity. The organization is tasked with identifying eligible candidates who are in need of additional training to find and keep meaningful employment. They also work with business clients to find qualified employees.

Today, President Obama signed an Executive Order to accelerate investments in industrial energy efficiency, including combined heat and power (CHP). Accelerating investment in industrial energy efficiency in a way that benefits manufacturers, utilities, and consumers can improve American manufacturing competitiveness and create jobs while improving our nation's energy system and reducing harmful emissions.
The Executive Order:
Investments in industrial energy efficiency and CHP offer significant benefits to manufacturers, utilities and communities across the country, including:

Since 2009, we've adopted two dogs from CASF. At each visit, we were impressed with the cleanliness of the environment and the health and well-being of the animals. The staff was thorough and attentive, and worked to ensure we brought home a dog that would match well as a companion for our existing dogs. When we brought home our latest adoptee (in 2011), introductions didn't go as well as expected, but Jaleh stayed on the phone (after hours) and talked us through the process. Much patience and persistence later and the dogs were running wild and playing together. CASF takes on some of the most challenging rescues. These are animals that the shelters don't have the resources to take care of. Not only do they provide exceptional care for these animals, they adopt out pets who are healthy and well-adjusted. The dogs we've adopted from CASF have integrated well into our household, without many of the behavior issues we've experienced with animals adopted from public shelters.

My understanding is that CASF accepts animals with special needs (medical conditions or pregnancy) from public shelters where lack of resources might mandate euthanasia. The CASF staff provide veterinary and husbandry care in a spotlessly clean and pleasant environment. It is a no-kill shelter where each animal is valued and forever home placement is carefully managed. I have been privileged to adopt two dogs from this wonderful shelter.

By Michael Fiala CARMEL-BY-THE-SEA, Calif. (Reuters) - Firefighters battled for an eighth day on Friday to quell a deadly blaze near California's renowned Big Sur coast that has destroyed dozens of homes, threatened hundreds more and forced several state parks to close at the height of summer tourist season. The so-called Soberanes Fire ignited last Friday just south of the upscale oceanside town of Carmel-by-the-Sea and has roared through nearly 32,000 acres (13,000 hectares) of drought-parched chaparral, grass and timber into the Los Padres National Forest. Mountainous terrain combined with extremely hot, dry weather conditions have hampered efforts by nearly 4,300 firefighters to hack buffer lines through dense vegetation around the perimeter of the blaze, officials said.
McLEAN, Va. (AP) — Armando Morales was a gang leader, drug dealer and a jailhouse snitch. But he was also a commanding, dynamic presence on the witness stand when he told jurors that his cellmate, Ingmar Guandique, confessed to the murder of Washington intern Chandra Levy.
