Gunshots blast in the car parts center where Cate's friend works. One man is dead; another critically wounded. The dead man allegedly robbed the place, and the wounded man was one of the owners of the car parts store that specialized in auto and motorcycle restoration. Cate only wanted to help a friend by taking her to a Fit and Fabulous meeting. As usual, Cate's pampered deaf cat is among the book's characters. There's also a big affectionate dog and Mitch. Mitch is the one who will help Cate get out of a tight spot at the ring a cell phone. Cate, an assistant private investigator, is working on her PI license, but murder investigations are out of her league. Yet with her talent for finding trouble and a curiosity not satisfied until a case is solved, the reader know she'll be right in the middle of it and she'll be lucky to escape with her life. But suspense isn't the only great attribute of Lorena McCourtney's books. What make them so fun to read is the humorous twists, turns and hilarious thinking of her characters. Death Takes a Ride is another great book by this New York Times bestselling author. Note: The publisher supplied a review copy of this book, that in no way influenced my opinion.
Another great addition to the Cate Kinkaid Files!! After loving the previous books spent with Cate, Mitch, and Octavia, I couldn't help myself when the opportunity arose to review Death Takes a Ride. Once again, Ms. McCourtney exceeds expectations as she rises above the common cliches associated with murder-mysteries. Nothing comes easily to Cate. Some might shrug at this, but this truly is what makes this series, particularly Cate, stand out over the ones where the main character always has that convenient friend. Cate grows a little bit more in each book and I'm always excited to spend some time with the tomato-red head. Her quirks and her cat, Octavia really grow on you. Cate comes through so clearly that, though the book is written in third person, there were times I had to remind myself it wasn't first person! I really hope this isn't the last we see of Cate and Mitch (especially after that ending!!), because I would love to read another book. When I sit down to read a mystery, my biggest concern is whether or not I'll be surprised with the ending. This time, I was not surprised but that didn't detract at all from the experience for me. Instead, I felt more of a "I knew it!" avalanche of excitement rather than a "Drat. I was right." disappointment. As I stated earlier in the review, I hope there's another book!! I recommend this novel to readers who enjoy a more relaxed mystery novel over the common suspense/thriller. Things to know: a character is killed by being impaled in the head. I think readers should be at least fifteen or sixteen before diving into this novel. I received this book from Revell in return for an honest review of my opinions, which I have done. Thanks!!
Lorena McCourtney in her new book "Death Takes A Ride" Book Three in The Cate Kinkaid Files series published by Revell Books gives us a new adventure with Cate Kinkaid. From the Back Cover: It's official. This case is above her pay grade–and Cate's in over her head. Cate Kinkaid arrives at H&B Vintage Auto Restorations to give a friend a ride. But, as usual, trouble finds Cate even there–this time in the form of one dead man, one wounded man, and what appears to be a pretty obvious case of self-defense. Despite having been merely an unfortunate bystander, Cate finds herself sucked into the case. And the deeper she gets, the more she begins to suspect that the shooting in the H&B office may not have been as cut-and-dried as it appeared. Bestselling and award-winning author Lorena McCourtney takes you on wild ride in this clever cozy mystery that will keep you guessing. Assistant PI Cate Kincaid is back. Things are falling into place, Cate is waiting for her P.I. license to arrive in the mail and her uncle is going to retire and turn the business over to her. And it doesn't involve murder. In her dreams. Cate goes to pick up a friend, gun shots ring out, there is a dead body, of course, and once again Cate is involved in murder. Ms. McCourtney has given us a prize in Cate Kincaid. This is a fun read, it is a fast read, however I do not recommend starting this book late at night because it will cost you sleep as you will not want to put it down as you try to figure out who the killer is. Ms. McCourtney is an excellent writer who knows how to twist your nerve endings as she tightens the suspense. I recommend this book and I am looking forward to the next book in this series.

I'm not 100% sure what actually happened here. I think my iPhone is actually responsible for me "requesting" this book. I say that because "Death Takes a Ride" is nowhere near my usual type of book… but you know that thing that your phone does on an internet page – you tap the screen and it moves just as your finger touches it and you've instead selected something halfway down the page from what you were just looking at. Yeah, mine does that all the time. Anyway, apparently my iPhone thinks this is a book worth reading – and Revell sent it to me with certain expectations – so I gave it a try… And DARN IT! Now I have to go hunt down the first two in the series. Because I don't have enough books… Yes, this is the third book in the series and No, I haven't read the first two but that would definitely not be a good enough reason NOT to read this book! Lorena McCourtney smoothly brings us up to speed and lets us in on the pattern in these novels with only a few short sentences. And she does it in a way that adds to the story without distracting you one bit from the plot. BRAVO Lorena! As with most Mystery series, you have at least one character who finds themselves in the middle of a sticky situation at least once in each book and this one is no different. I LOVE that Cate's faith is woven into each scene of the book – helping her get through these tough situations and tricky investigations. I do believe I have found a NEW mystery series that I'm just going to LOVE! Most of you remember my review a few months ago of an Amish Mystery that I did not expect to enjoy as much as I did either. Apparently my problem was that the mysteries I read years ago that almost completely turned me off to the genre were not even remotely inspirational in nature. They relied on inappropriate relationships and believing impossible things about the characters to keep readers interested. This book, like the Amish one, DOES NOT do any of that! Which of course means that I LOVE it and will happily recommend it to EVERYONE! I received this book free in exchange for an honest review.
What a fun cozy mystery. This is the third in a series, I haven't read any of the others but from my reading of this one I think you can jump in at any point and not feel lost. I didn't at all. Cate Kinkaid is a spunky character who I enjoyed reading about and getting to know. Lorena did a great job with all of the characters in this book giving them each their own distinct personality. Especially the cat and dog, loved them!! This is not a grip-the-pages-because-I-am-so-scared kind of book, which from what I understand of cozy mysteries they're not supposed to be that way, hence the word "cozy". But Lorena has definitely written a book you will want to keep reading so you can figure out whodunit. If you like a light mystery with murder thrown in, an ex-wife who seems too eager for insurance money, a little suspense and a dash of romance, then this is a book you will want to grab and probably an author you should really check out. A copy of this book was given to me by the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
My reading in the summertime tends to be of the lighter variety. A good cozy mystery is just the right thing on a long summer evening. The Cate Kincaid Files are especially nice because they strike the right balance of being a light story that has just enough substance to keep you interested. Death Takes a Ride is the third in the series. Dying to Read and Dolled Up to Die are the first two, but each one can be read as a stand alone. There is an underlying story that threads through each of the novels but each story contains a new mystery that doesn't really hinge on the previous ones. When the story begins Cate is anxiously awaiting the arrival of her official license that will propel her from being an Assistant Investigator to a full fledged Investigator. When that happens it is expected that she will take over the agency so her Uncle Joe can retire and travel. Cate is also trying to patiently wait for Mitch to take their relationship to the next level as in marriage. Unfortunately Mitch and his business partner have been offered a lucrative proposal that will take Mitch to another city. Cate begins to wonder if the relationship means more to her than Mitch. Will he ever get over his aversion to her being a PI? As was the case in the two previous novels Cate didn't go looking to become involved in a murder investigation but it surely sought her out. To say that she was just in the wrong place at the wrong time is putting it mildly. At first it looks like a robbery gone bad, but then things just don't add up. The deeper Cate digs into a different matter involving the murder victim the more her intuition tells her that there is more to it than they first suspected. The characters are just quirky enough to add humor to the serious theme of murder. Add in a big slobbery dog and a persnickety cat and you have the makings of a story that will amuse you as you try to figure out who the real culprit is. I received a copy of this book to facilitate my review.
Mitch looked into Cate's eyes. Then he dipped his head and kissed her, long and thoroughly. She couldn't hear Clancy barking now. Cate wrapped her arms around Mitch's neck and kissed him back. "I think we lost the battle," Mitch murmured. "Clancy still isn't dry, and he has the towel again." "Who cares?" Cate stretched up for another kiss. When Mitch finally set her down, he said, "I believe we'll have to dry the dog off more often." I really loved this book. This is the third book in the "The Cate Kinkaid Files" mystery series. Cate Kinkaid is a 30-year-old, 5' 4" feisty redhead who is an assistant P. I. for Belmont Investigations. She also has a love interest in Mitch, a computer geek who co-owns his company. This is a true cozy mystery that will appeal to mystery lovers at heart. Although Cate seems to keep finding herself in the middle of murder investigations by accident, she continues to find her way out of them and always solves the crime with the finesse of a seasoned P. I.. One of the things I really loved about this book is the addition of Clancy, a big, rambunctious oaf of a dog that will worm his way right into your heart just as he did Cate's and Mitch's. Cate also owns a deaf cat named Octavia that she swears has the ability to help her solve cases. The plot was very engaging as I didn't want to put the book down and the characters were well developed and endearing. I haven't read the previous books in this series, and they don't have to be read in order to be able to follow the storyline, but after reading Death Takes a Ride I look forward to going back to the beginning of the series. Lorena McCourtney is a favorite of mine. Her Ivy Malone series is still my top cozy mystery series and she has really out done herself in this series as well. If you love cozy mysteries or investigative plots you'll love this book! I received a complimentary copy of this book for my honest review and no monetary compensation was received.
More Cate Kincaid Murder Mishaps.... Death Takes a Ride The Cate Kincaid Files #3 By Lorena McCourtney Cate is back with yet another murder case that she has yet again literally fallen into. Well, she didn't fall into it - more like she was offering a ride to a friend of her Aunt Rebecca and was there for the actual event. In Cate's case the falling comes later. But this is a time of change as Cate awaits her license making her an official private investigator and she'll be able to get rid of her assistant add-on. And then there is Uncle Joe who is talking retirement (Yikes! Is Cate ready to be on her own???) And her maybe-boyfriend Mitch might not be around much longer to be her Knight-on-a shiny-motorcycle when she needs rescuing. At least Octavia is her one constant. Always knowing when the phone is going to ring and managing to find clues and facts that Cate never would have. This is one kitty with a personality to be reckoned with. There are funny moments throughout Death Takes a Ride but I think this also the least funny of the series. It is a bit more serious as Cate works through the upcoming and possible changes in her life. There are plenty of suspects and not much to go on. And if Cate's not careful she may be taking a ride with death herself, especially if she can't discover who is in danger and who is the threat. Spoiler: Cate (like Frodo) lives so we can hopefully expect a fourth book in this delightful series in the not to distant future. I hope!!! Sit back and get ready to enjoy another Cate Kincaid murder mystery. This would be a great book club discussion book as you work alongside Cate to solve the case. Good clean fun with a murder mystery thrown in. I was provided a copy of this book by the publisher Revell in exchange for my honest review.
Lorena McCourtney has added to The Cate Kinkaid Files with a murder mystery that even J.B. Fletcher would have a hard time solving. McCourtney's main character, Cate is truly the girl next door. However, she finds herself in some pretty dangerous situations. From the first chapter, Cate is entangled in an attempted robbery, murder, and self-defense shooting that keeps the reader engaged from page one. I love the fact that Cate is the hero, yet she is still very real and vulnerable. McCourtney fills the book with a Christian perspective that is inspiring. The main character's practice a lifestyle that is consistent with the teachings of the Bible. Lorena McCourtney is also able to weave her love of pets into the drama which makes the reader want to read while snuggled up to a furry friend. This book is a great summer read that I highly recommend. I will be looking for other books in this series.
DEATH TAKES A RIDE by Lorena McCourtney is an interesting Christian Mystery. #3 in "The Cate Kinkaid Files", but can be read as a stand alone. Once again, we found Cate Kinkaid in over her head in this mystery. All is not as it seems at the H&B Auto Restorations. With one man wounded, one dead, what more could possibly go wrong, as Cate gets pulled into this mystery. If you are looking for a fast paced, heart-thumping story, this is not it, at all. What it is, is charming, fun, not over the top tale with humor, tension, mystery and a great whodunit. Very entertaining with interesting characters and a well thought out plot. An enjoyable read! Received for an honest review from the publisher. Rating: 4 Heat Rating: Sweet Reviewed by: AprilR, courtesy of My Book Addiction and More
This is a contemporary mystery involving Cate Kincaid, an assistant private investigator working for her uncle's firm. When Cate goes to pick up a friend for a Fit and Fabulous meeting, she hears a gun shot. As she runs into the office of H&R Vintage Auto Restorations, she sees a man sprawled on the floor inside the door and another man holding a gun. From first appearances, it seems the shooting was an act of self-defense. As Cate fumbles her way to gathering information about other details pertaining to the murder, she finds everything rather confusing and not what it appears. The story has suspense, a bit of danger as well as humor, creating a good balance. I thought the author did a nice job of developing the story and leaving clues about whom the murderer is, but maintaining the mystery until the end of the book. The large clumsy dog, Clancy, was my favorite character. Although a by-product of the murder, he was endearing and added comedy. This is the third book in a series but can also be read as a stand-alone book. However, reading Dying to Read gives background into Cate and why she became a private investigator as well as background about Mitch and Octavia. I would recommend this book to anyone liking a light mystery. received a complimentary copy of this book from Revell Books in exchange for an honest review.
Cate has dropped by H&B Vintage Auto Restorations to give someone a ride to church. What she doesn't expect is a murder. Cate is still a waiting on her P.I. license to arrive, so technically she isn't supposed to investigate a murder. But when the business partner asks her to investigate another issue she gets pulled into everything before she realizes what she's into. I hadn't had the pleasure of reading anything by this author before. I didn't know what I was missing. I could not put this book down. It was funny, entertaining, and well written. The author did a great job of mixing a little bit of romance, lots of mystery and intrigue, and subtle mentions of God. I haven't read the first two books in the series, but was still able to enjoy this book. I enjoyed the author's sense of humor that she infused into the story. The main female character was quirky and klutzy, but endearing. I can't wait to get the first two books. I received this book free of charge from Baker Publishing in exchange for my honest review.
Death Takes A Ride, and our favorite PI is in the midst of a murder, and all she wanted to do was pick up someone for a ride to a church event. Cate was just helping out, but bodies seem to find her, or she is the next victim? If you love mystery and suspense, with a bit of romance, this is for you, and it won't disappoint. Poor Cate is finally achieving her goal of becoming a fully licensed PI, just waiting for it to arrive in the mail. Of course, her relationship with Matt maybe fully jeopardized, as he does not like her line of work, and the danger that seems to follow her around. Now that her Uncle is finally retiring and turning the business over to her, she has more life decisions to make. Some decisions seem to really fall into her lap. She sure has some heart stopping events happen to her, and you never expect where help will come from, at least I didn't. I have read the first two books in this series and they are equally as good, and I highly recommend that you read them. This book can stand-alone, we get caught up with a lot of the information that is presented to us. Love the end of this book, and hope that there will be more in this series, hate to say goodbye. I received this book through Revell's Blogger's Tour, and was not required to give a positive review.
Death Takes a Ride by Lorena McCourtney – A Book Review The first book I read on my Kindle was Invisible by Lerena McCourtney. I enjoyed it so much, I purchased the other three books in the series about the insuppressible little old lady, Ivy Malone, and read them in quick succession. So, when I had the opportunity to read and review Death Takes a Ride by Ms McCourtney, I jumped at the chance. The leading lady and sleuth in this story, Cate Kinkaid, who is moving in on middle age, does not find herself in quite the same types of dangerous yet hilarious predicaments as her predecessor, little old lady Ivy Malone. Yet this mystery provided enough twists and turns to keep me interested in the story line. I have always been a big mystery fan, and I enjoyed this cozy mystery that kept me awake nights wanting to know what was coming up next, not checking the doors and jumping at bumps in the night. Death Takes a Ride is the third in the Cate Kinkaid series. However it worked fine as a stand alone read. Through implications within the text, I was able to infer that throughout the series Cate typically finds herself in the wrong place at the wrong time, or as an assistant PI, was that the right place at the right time? While her uncle's private investigation agency did not typically handle murder cases, it seems Cate often has a way of finding herself alongside a dead body. The reader of this book does not have to get far into the story before just such a situation manifests itself. The story also includes enough romance between Cate and her "Computer Dude" boyfriend, Mitch, to keep romance novel lovers interested, while there doesn't seem to be any love lost between Cate's cat and the dog Mitch is fostering for the victim of an attempted robbery. Or was it attempted murder? No spoilers here, you will have to read the story to find out, and also to enjoy the wonderful ending with the sweet, and ketchupy, surprise. If you are looking for a cozy mystery that is enjoyable without overtaxing your own inner sleuth, this book is for you. I would give it four out of five smoking guns for reading pleasure. I thank Revell Publishers and Christian Fiction Blog Alliance for providing Death Takes a Ride for my honest review. I did not receive any monetary compensation for a favorable review and the opinions expressed here are strictly my own.
Very good cate kincaid mystery. Keeps moving. Lots of humoe in her characters. They Are not perfect.
Death Takes a Ride Lorena McCourtney Book Summary: Cate Kinkaid arrives at H&B Classic Auto Restorations to give a friend a ride. But, as usual, trouble finds Kate even there--this time in the form of one dead man, one wounded man, and what appears to be a pretty obvious case of self-defense. Owner Matt Halliday wants to hire her, but not for this case. Instead, Cate is charged with finding a man who owns a particular motorcycle Matt would like to buy. As her search progresses, she begins to suspect that the shooting in Matt's office may not have been as cut-and-dried as it appeared. Review: I loved this book! It is a great series and at the same time a standalone book. Easy to read and a brisk storyline make for a suspenseful mystery! I did figure out the who and the why but it was so much fun to see it all come together that I could not put it down. I loved Cate and Mitch - they make a great team. I am hopeful for more stories but if this was the last in the series I can see them working together to track down hackers and other suspects. This was my first book of the series and I can not wait to read the other ones. I was predisposed to like this series when I started it because of Ms. McCourtney's other books but to me this book was culmination of series she wrote. The suspects were realistic and memorable. Well written overall and believable. This PI was what you would really expect - rote work, occasional excitement and stumbling on things no one wants to be part of. These are all the elements wonderfully blended to make the story seamlessly written. Candy, Lily, Andy, Matt and Shirley were realistic people caught up in life. I really liked the parts with Candy and Cate together. They made a funny duo, it is the humor of these things that were tastefully blended throughout the story that made the entire book five stars! I would like to thank Net Galley and Revell for allowing me to read and review this book in return for a free copy and I was never asked to write a favorable review by anyone.
I was very disappointed in this book. Before I was half way through, I already knew who the killer was and why. I found the subplot romance between Cate and Mitch to be predictable as well. It is time to end this romance or move to the next level because it is becoming sappy at this point and lacks any hint of originality. It is too "Harleqiun romance". Don't waste your money.
I like the feel of McCourtney's books. I don't read many mystery books, but I find McCourtney's to be light and an easy read. The cat cracks me up, and the addition of a dog was fun. As for the mystery, I probably don't read many because I'm too good at figuring them out and then I read the end to see if I'm right midway through the book. This book was no exception, but what I liked about it was that that it's more than a mystery. The characters are engaging and I care about them. I look forward to the next book in the series. No worries, if you haven't read any of the other books. They all stand alone. I was given this book by the publisher for review purposes. I was not required to give a positive review. This is my honest opinion.
Cate Kincaid's latest case is even better than her first two. As usual, she finds herself in the right place at the wrong time -- or is it? Is this a clear-cut case of self defense or is it something more? Quirky Cate has to rely on her wits, her faith and her own (handsome) personal computer guy, Mitch, to solve this mystery before someone else gets hurt. Let me just start by saying I LOVE all of Lorena McCourtney's mysteries. Whether it's Ivy Malone or Cate Kincaid, I'm a big fan. In Death Takes a Ride, McCourtney mixes the perfect proportions of puzzle, action/thriller, romance, hilarity and faith to make this latest installment of the Cate Kincaid Mysteries her best. If she ever decides to teach a mystery writing class, I'm right there because she's one of the best! Many to the publisher for my copy in exchange for my fair and impartial review.
Cate Kincaid, Assistant Private Investigator, steps into a crime scene when she goes to H&B Vintage Auto Restorations to give someone a ride to church. This crime scene involves murder, which Cate hasn't investigated before. She works for her uncle who has assigned her cases of mundane things like serving papers and doing background checks. Not believing this is a cut-and-dried shooting, Cate begins snooping around and follows the clues. McCourtney writes a fast-paced story laced with humor and tension to keep you turning pages.
Death Takes a Ride, The Cate Kinkaid Files by Lorena McCourtney Doing a good deed takes an mysterious turn when Cate Kinkaid shows up at H&B Vintage Auto Restoration to give a ride to friend of her aunts. When shoots are fired one life is ended, one hangs in the by a thread, while yet another is riddled with guilt. The detective in Cate can't help but be curious as to why it was done because it is fairly obvious it was self-defense. But nothing is as it seems. Author Lorena McCourtney did an outstanding job of bringing the characters to life. I found Death Takes a Ride to be entertaining, funny and a fast paced clean read. It is a Christian romance with lots of mystery. I truly enjoyed this 5 star book. It is part of a series but can be read as a stand alone. I want to give a high-five to the author Lorena McCourtney and publisher Revell for bringing compelling Christian books that are entertaining and give hope to the reader with stories of faith. I was provided with a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review and I am so grateful for the authors and publishers generosity.

Historical Traveler Reviews Highland Beach Resort Candolim
Staying at highland bech
we spent 3 weeks (march 17 - April 7)at highland beach after recommendation last year. the hotel itself has grown substantially and there are a few problems as a result. the rooms are not as clean as they could be - we had to request that the rooms boys cleaned toilet twice and remove cobwebs that had been around for dont know how long. they also tried to con us on the mini bar three times despite being picked up on it so watch the numbers. and DONT what ever you do order room service...inedible is a compliment! However the grounds are nice, the staff are super friendly and the place is really quiet. as a place to kip you cant really go wrong...and candolim is as relaxed as ever despite the increase in mopeds!
Highland Beach Resort - Good and Clean
We stayed at the Highland beach resort for 4 nights and found it a really nice place to stay. It was clean and safe and the staff were really friendly and were happy to go out of their way to help you. It has three nice pool areas and two restaurants. However, we only ate lunch at the hotel as we wanted to sample the many restaurants in Candolim Village. Breakfast was very basic, toast with Butter and Jam, Eggs to order and juice, tea and Coffee.
The rooms were basic but fine for our stay. There was hot and cold water and the shower was good. It was starting to get fairly hot in Goa at this time of year (End of March)and we needed to use the aircon at night, which was quite noisy. We also foudn that there was quite alot of Mosquitos, so suggest you take plenty of Repellent and plug-in's
Food generally took a while to arrive and when we asked why it took so long we were told that they were short staffed in the kitchen as a couple of people were on leave.
This is a good place to stay if you want something that is a clean and basic.
Nice hotel
building work excepted, the Highland beach resort was a lovely hotel. any problems we encountered were sorted straight away by the reception staff, they were very helpful and friendly.
there is a choice of 3 swimmimg pools so space is at a maximum, the rooms were very good, though basic and were kept in an immaculate condition by our cleaner.
the towels and linen were changed daily.
room service was very slow, we'd lost our appetite after waiting 30 mins for 2 plain sandwiches, but at least it arrived.
a very big resort so breakfast could be a bit of a squeeze around 9.30am!!!!!
Welcoming Highland Beach
We had been warned about the poverty but it was still an eye opener on our drive from the airport. However, once we arrived at reception in the Highland Beach we were made extremely welcome.
The staff were wonderful and went out of their way to help. I lost my camera, the second day on holiday, and one of the staff found it and handed it in. I am not sure that would have happened in many other places.
Yes, the rooms looked a bit basic at first but were spacious and very clean and staff came in daily. Once we had settled in we certainly warmed to it.
The gardens are beautiful and plentiful and the pools are very inviting although we were hardly in them as we preferred the wonderful beaches. It was abouta 20 minute walk to the beach but there is so much to see that you don't notice the time.
Candolim itself is one of the quieter resorts which is just what we wanted. Still plenty of shopping and many wonderful restaurants. The food was extremely good and the price was ridiculously low.
Goa is a shoppers paradise with many bargains in leather and jewellery.
We spent a day with the elephants and that was just wonderful. To be able to ride them, swim with them and help to wash them was the most wonderful feeling.
We are now planning our next trip back to the Highland Beach Hotel, later this year.
Loved the Highland beach
We booked for the first time and went in Jan 2005,immediately we came home and booked for Jan 2006, we fly out on 26th Jan and can't wait, Hotel was clean and basic but everyone was helpful. Eggs for breakfast every day, but youy only get what you pay for. We used white horse beach shack and the guys were all great they ran after you all day and made your holiday good. There are lots of fantastic restuarants to try them all they are good. I am sure we will be back next year again.
Great Hotel!
Second stay at the Highland Beach and we love it.
The service is great and so is the security. Love the layout of the rooms as there are three of us we get two bedrooms which is a real bonus with a teenager!
Only down side, the beds, the matresses are rather hard!
Enjoy Goa
First impressions of this place leave you a little dissappointed, but this is a 4 star hotel by Goan standards. The decor is a little dated and the rooms spartan and dark - but we had two bathrooms (showers only), comfortable beds, satellite tv, mini bar, air conditioning (which can be noisy) and the friendliest staff I've ever encountered anywhere.
There are two pools and the complex itself is relaxing and beautiful. It's not a place for children. The breakfast buffet consists of various egg dishes and some traditional goan food - worth a try.
Goa itself is the most wonderful, magical place in the world. Everything is really cheap, the beaches are fantastic (be sure to get a cocktail at one of the famous beach shaks). Take advantage of massages and yoga that will surely be offered to you as you relax by the sea.
The Highland Beach is a lovely hotel, with all the basic comforts. However, you should spend the minimum time there - or in any hotel - and enjoy the pleasures of Goa instead. I can't wait to return.
Wonderful Goa
First time in Goa, myself and partner (40 year olds), along with the in laws.
First impressions of the rooms in the Highland Beach were not good - a bit austere and drab looking. However, they turned out to be perfectly adequate with all necessary facilities, including fans and air conditioning.
The rooms were well maintained on a daily basis, and if anything was needed then the staff were always happy to assist.
Where the Highland Beach scored highly for me was the spaces for relaxing around the hotel. Particularly the swimming pools, two of them, where you could spend hours on end lounging around in the most splendid relaxed surroundings, coconut palms and mango trees all around you. Poolside staff on hand to fetch food and drinks for you also, and all so very cheap.
Also i made use of the free on site gym, and the massage which was extremely cheap and did by bad back the world of good.
Staff were friendly and helpful.
The beach is about a 10 minute walk away.
Talking to other people staying in Candolim, and local people/ shop owners, it appears that Highland Beach is one of the best in the area. Standards locally are quite poor (well, the standard of living is so low) so it seems that a lot of hotels are not up to western standards.
The Highland Beach Resort was a wonderful place to stay, and Candolim a very interesting and enjoyable holiday destination.
We stayed here for New Years 2003/2004. Definitely recommend this hotel and Candolim. The rooms were actually self contained apartments (living area with balcony & kitchenette) with two bedrooms - 1 of which had an ensuite and a balcony. Bathrooms have shower only, no bath - which is common for India. They were cleaned daily.
It's not 4 star decor or facilities but it's definitely worth its 3 star plus rating. We would definitely stay here again if we were looking for the next best thing below a 4 star - and if we were going with young children.
There were two pools - one at the front of the hotel and one at the back for those apartments - we had a two flats next to each at the back of the resort and had good use of the back swimming pool. They serve food and drink at both pools. We preferred the back as there weren't so many people coming and going.
The location is excellent. Candolim itself is one of the better towns in the North - not so busy as Baga - and has very good restaurants. Beach & beach bars are also better at this end as it's not so crowded.
Airdrie, Scotland
My wife and I stayed at the Highland Beach in January 2004 for two weeks and immediately upon our return home, booked for January 2005. I have given the hotel 4/5 which may surprise others, but you have to remember you get what you pay for. We paid a low price and didn't expect the most luxurious hotel. We got what we paid for! The rooms themselves are reasonably appointed. Satellite tv, mini bar (stocked daily and/or on request), air conditioning, running hot water and comfy bed. The breakfast is o.k (again, you get what you pay for), but the bars are great. The Indian a la carte restaurant serves fantastic food, but we only are there twice owing to the quality and number of nearby restaurants.
The staff in the hotel are extremely friendly and will bend over backwards to help in any regard. My wife took unwell for a couple of days and had all the staff runnung after her without our asking (and she can't wait to go back).
The hotel is just off the main road and near to some fantastic restaurants. The road to the beach is also nearby and similarly has great eating places.
The beach itself is good and the food from the beach shacks is extremely good (and safe to eat).
You can lie on the beach all day and the shack runners will continually come down with drinks for you.
Everything is cheap in India, jewellry, food, drink, clothing etc but you still can't spend your money.
Whilst this may seem like a resort review as opposed to a hotel, the Highland Beach is a fantastic place to base yourself from. You spend little time in your room, but what time is spent, is comfortable and enjoyable.
See you in January 2005.

Confirmed: Geoff Johns Is the New President of DC Entertainment
Comic Books, Film, TV
As part of the kickoff for "Marvel Week" on his late-night show, Jimmy Kimmel premiered the new trailer for Captain America: Civil War — no, wait. Make that AMERICA: Civil War, starring presidential hopefuls Bernie Sanders, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.
"There's some interesting parallels between our current presidential election and the movie Captain America: Civil War," Kimmel explained. "Both of them feature former friends who are now enemies. They both feature powerful men and women who are also cartoon characters."
For the premiere last night of the new Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice trailer, Jimmy Kimmel went all out, even building a Bat-Signal to call in the Caped Crusader. He needn't have gone to the trouble, however, as star Ben Affleck was already sitting in the audience.
"I've been here for 20 minutes," an exasperated Affleck said between bites of his snack. "I've been waiting. […] You just texted me yesterday, and you were like, 'Hey come down to the show tomorrow,' and I texted you back and said, 'Sure.'"
After inspiring a hashtag and a parody Twitter account, the next logical step in the evolution of the "BatTrump" meme is, of course, an animated mashup.
Inspired by Republican frontrunner Donald Trump's joking proclamation that "I am Batman," ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live! brought together audio of the presidential candidate and footage from Batman: The Animated Series to see what he would be like as the Caped Crusader.
In what very well could be a precursor to Captain America: Civil War, Earth's Mightiest Heroes squared off against each other last night in a no-holds-barred game of "Avengers Family Feud," with the host Jimmy Kimmel caught in the middle.
On one side, Captain America (Chris Evans), Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo) and Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner); on the other, Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.), Thor (Chris Hemsworth) and Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson). It was a fierce battle marked by cheating, widespread confusion, malfunctioning name tags and some pretty bad answers.
The Guardians of the Galaxy may be able to stand toe to toe with Ronan the Accuser, Nebula and Korath, but they were easily vanquished by 5-year-old Mia Grace Montross. The pint-sized Marvel expert, who made her Jimmy Kimmel Live! debut in December, returned to the show last night to face off against the stars of Guardians of the Galaxy in a trivia challenge. The result was … well, about what you might expect.
Earlier this year the Internet was dazzled by Mia Grace Montross, the 4-year-old daughter of a comic fan whose mutant power is knowing a lot about Marvel Comics, even more than her dad.
But does she know more than the superheroes themselves, or at least their Hollywood Boulevard counterparts? Talk show host Jimmy Kimmel decided to put Mia to the test, pitting her against some of the Marvel Universe's best and brightest, including Iron Man, Captain America and Spider-Man. See her answer questions about Cap's shield, Wakanda and more, as the heroes pretty much eat her dust.
As promised, Marvel Chief Creative Officer Joe Quesada appeared last night on ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live, where he promoted Marvel NOW! to a national audience — "We're not rebooting our universe, but if you're a fan of the movies, or if you're a lapsed comic-book fan, it's the perfect opportunity for you to come in and start on the Marvel Universe" — while the talk-show host played the role of the nervous creator hoping to sell the House of Ideas on his own characters.
But these weren't just any characters; these were the heroes and villains that sprang from the mind of a 6- or 7-year-old Jimmy. Or so we're told. There's the Terrific Ten — "There's 10 of them, and they're terrific" — led by Muscleman, the King of Superheroes (complete with crown), and featuring Colored Kid, who has all the powers of a rainbow, Lucky Lad, who's kind of like a leprechaun. Of course, the heroes need villains equal to their … terrific-ness. Enter, the Terrible Ten, which includes Evil Eye, Doctor Bolt and Bleach Master (with his Clor-Ax).
Surprisingly, neither team was exactly what Quesada had in mind for Marvel NOW!, so he makes Kimmel a pitch of his own. (By the way, who knew Quesada was so stingy with his comics?) Watch the full video below.
In a bit of corporate synergy, Joe Quesada will pay a visit Tuesday on ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live to launch Marvel NOW! with the debut of Uncanny Avengers, and to … propose a team-up with the talk-show host?
"First Jimmy Kimmel rocked the Emmys in front of the entire world and now he's set his sights on the Marvel Universe," Marvel's chief creative officer said in a statement. "I'm looking forward to meeting with him to see just what he has planned for the Avengers, Spider-Man, Wolverine or whichever of Marvel's superheroes interest him the most. But this is Marvel NOW! and we're going to need the biggest ideas to compete with what we've planned! One things for sure — you've never seen Marvel on TV like this before!"

Nurarihyon (ぬらりひょん?, alternatively 滑瓢), or Nūrihyon (ぬうりひょん?), is a Japanese Yōkai said to originate from Wakayama Prefecture. It is speculated that the original name used was Nūrihyon, with Nurarihyon being a misreading that got perpetuated.[1][2]
The name Nurarihyon is a portmanteau of the words "Nurari" (Japanese: ぬらり or 滑) meaning "to slip away" and "hyon" (Japanese: ひょん or 瓢), an onomatopoeia used to describe something floating upwards. In the name, the sound "hyon" is represented by the character for "gourd".[3] The Nurarihyon is unrelated to another, similarly named ocean Yōkai from Okayama Prefecture.[4]
Appearance and Behaviour[edit]
The Nurarihyon is usually depicted as an old man with a gourd-shaped head and wearing a kesa.[3]
The Nurarihyon is often depicted sneaking into people's houses while they are away, drinking their tea, and acting as if it is their own house.[4][5] However, this depiction is not one based in folklore, but one based on hearsay and repeated in popular Yōkai media. [4][6]
In Popular Culture[edit]
The Nurarihyon has become quite popular in contemporary Yōkai media, particularly due to the fact that its lack of a concrete background leaves it open to interpretation.[4]
- It is often portrayed in the works of Mizuki Shigeru as the leader of the Yōkai clan in his famous manga GeGeGe no Kitarō.
- The Nurarihyon was the name of a monster in Ninja Sentai Kakuranger where he was the leader of the Youkai Army Corps during the days of Feudal Japan. His head was recycled in Season Three of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers where it was used to make a hybrid monster suit for Inciserator alongside Merrick the Barbaric's body and the cape of Birdcage Vagabond from Gosei Sentai Dairanger (unused in Season Two).
- The Nurarihyon has received a great deal of attention in Shiibashi Hiroshi's Nurarihyon no Mago.[7]
- The Nurarihyon appears in Yo-kai Watch. He is a Boss Yo-kai of the Shady Tribe who is the head of the Yo-kai Council.
- In the comic book series Wayward, the Nurarihyon appears as one of the primary antagonists. His appearance resembles a dapper looking man in a straw hat and Showa-era suit.[8]

I participate in an active water sport at senior masters level and take Hylands leg cramps with Quinine tablets after each training session.I find the occurance of leg cramps greatly reduced plus the medication gives me the confidence to continue in a sport which I am passionate about at a competetive level. Prior to using this medication I was almost ready to retire from this activity.

Hi, I've had a bit of a search around for this problem, but I couldn't find any answers. If I didn't look hard enough, feel free to redirect me to the solution! :)
Anyway, I've installed kdenlive from the repositories on a pretty fresh Xubuntu 11.10 system, solved the SDL module problem and the program still won't start. It gets a little further - it asks me all the configuration questions, but when I hit "finish" the program simply bombs out. A user in another thread (http://www.kdenlive.org/forum/ubuntu-1110-wont-run-kdenlive-mlts-sdl-mod...) was able to solve the problem by using the svn version, but it didn't do the trick for me unfortunately.
Can anyone help me?

Athletic Media Relations
OVERLAND PARK, Kan. – Colorado State's Dana Cranston is among 30 NCAA Division I senior women's volleyball student-athletes named to the 2012 Senior CLASS Award candidate class. The award honors senior student-athletes who excel both on and off the court, having notable achievements in four areas of excellence – community, classroom, character, and competition.
Cranston, an outside hitter for the Rams, carries a 3.91 grade point average in business administration. A 2012 MW Preseason Co-Player of the Year, Cranston has been a part of several community service projects, including talking about the importance of education while reading to elementary students. She is also involved with Athletes in Action and has worked countless volleyball camps and athletics events to develop the skills and passion of younger volleyball players. This year, Cranston leads the Rams with 147 kills and 3.17 kills per set while providing senior leadership for the team.
From the list of 30 candidates, a national media committee will select 10 finalists for the 2012 Senior CLASS Award in October. Those 10 names will then be placed on the official ballot for a nationwide vote. Fan balloting will be coupled with votes from coaches and media to determine the recipient of the award. The Senior CLASS Award winners will be announced during the 2012 NCAA Division I Women's Volleyball Championship, which will take place December 13 and 15 in Louisville, Ky.
The 2012 candidate class includes 16 American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) All-Americans from last season. Twenty-four of the 30 candidates have maintained a cumulative grade point average of 3.5 or better. Cranston joins Wyoming's Jodi Purdy and San Diego State's Andrea Hannasch as one of three Mountain West players named to the top 30.
An acronym for Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in School, the award program is designed exclusively for college seniors who are utilizing their complete athletic eligibility, remaining committed to their university and pursuing the many rewards a senior season can bring. More information on the award and a complete list of the candidates can be found at www.seniorclassaward.com.

Comment Of The Day: Because It's Easy Edition
I've been reading about automotive clean air regulations for nearly a decade now and I still don't totally understand whether or not cars are punished too harshly for what they do.
I've been reading about automotive clean air regulations for nearly a decade now and I still don't totally understand whether or not cars are punished too harshly for what they do.
Paris has tried just about everything to combat its terrible smog problem. The city has launched attempts to take half the cars off its road, introduce regular car-free days, and close famous streets to vehicular traffic—but Paris still has some of the worst pollution in Europe. Now a much bigger idea is going into…
Nothing is easy. That's the big takeaway here. Almost every system we encounter is full of unseen complexity. A great example of this is found in a new study that suggests that electric and hybrid vehicles may actually produce as many atmospheric toxins as combustion cars. How can this be, if they produce no exhaust?…
Beijing faces overcrowded roads and pollution that are constantly getting worse. Why? According to city officials, it's because of ride-sharing services, including Uber.
On January 1st, Delhi enacted a two-week pilot project allowing private cars on the roads only on alternate days in order to reduce pollution. As the experiment comes to a close, the city is still choking on smog.
Last week Milan became the latest city to banish cars from streets to curb its horrible smog. On January 1, Delhi joined the club with its own vehicle restrictions, but the challenge before the chronically polluted Indian city is much much greater. Will a every-other-day ban on cars be any help?
One of the worst environmental disasters of the decade is currently underway in a quiet community 25 miles northwest of Los Angeles. Putrid, methane-rich natural gas has been spewing into the air at an estimated rate of nearly 1,300 metric tons per day for over two months. Experts are calling it the climate version of…
Beijing and Delhi are both planning major initiatives to kick cars off their streets, at least part of the time. Now even cities that aren't famous for their pollution are taking drastic measures to clean up their air. Today, Milan's streets are filled with bikes and pedestrians as part of three-day car ban.
Beijing issued its first-ever red alert on Monday. The radical measure means that half the cars in the capital must stay off the streets, outdoor construction must stop, and schools must close. The pollution is simply too dangerous.
Cities have plenty of forageable food available, from plants that grow as weeds to fruit trees and bushes that were either abandoned, or were planted just for looks. But is this food too polluted to eat? Probably not, according to two teams of scientists who have tested it.
Modern cars are vastly cleaner, emission-wise, than they ever have been. I don't even think they work well for in-garage suicides anymore. There's still plenty of pollution, though a new study from the University of Toronto has found that 90 percent of automotive pollution is coming from only 25 percent of cars.
Sixty percent vehicles in Paris run on diesel, and the city is struggling to curb emissions—banning half its cars for a day, making public transport and bike shares free for a weekend, and pedestrianizing large swathes of the urban grid. Now, a new proposal by Mayor Anne Hidalgo will cap the speed limit at 30…
The Colosseum in Rome is being cleansed of car exhaust that has built up over decades, ever since Mussolini's ill-advised decision to build a major road nearby.
Air pollution! We've got it on the run in the United States, people. Everyone give yourselves a pat on the back because the Environmental Protection Agency announced that carbon emissions 2012 reached their lowest levels since 1994.
Quick, which is worse for the environment: driving a massive, exhaust-belching diesel-sucking big rig 100 miles or walking down the street in hemp sandals, bamboo shorts and a reclaimed burlap poncho to a locally-owned restaurant, and ordering a grass-fed, locally-farmed angus beef hamburger?
The electric (or even hybrid) car has been heralded as a way to help limit the amount of aerial pollution hitting the skies and our lungs, but a new study out of China has shown that they're actually even worse than regular gas guzzlers.
We all know "euro-spec" BMWs, Volkswagens, Mercedes-Benzes, and Audis from the 70s, 80s, and 90s that came with more power than the imports that came to the States. Why didn't America get any of those awesome cars? It turns out, like always, it's the Germans' fault.
A lecturer at Dublin's Trinity College thinks severely raked rear spoilers increase the amount of airborne pollutants at ground level, while flat ones minimize it. And since your Toyota Corolla's spoiler doesn't do anything, it might as well decrease pollution.
A recent study published in the scientific journal PLoS ONE indicates that people living in polluted areas have a higher chance of contracting heart disease. Here's a news flash: Breathe smog, bad things happen! Ain't proof grand?
The Discovery Channel's Planet Green seems to hate cars, maligning our favorite mode of transportation as "wrecking our culture." We say their arguments are a crock of crap.

Although it was suggested that I take two of these daily, I had to cut back to one a day due to diarrhea and abdominal cramping. So far, that seems to have worked. I haven't been taking it long enough to determine if it's having a positive affect on me, but will continue to take it for at least 6 months.

Springboard Series Virtual Roundtable (https://ms.istreamplanet.com/springboard)
Windows 7, is approaching fast. We're going to examine Windows 7 application compatibility not only from the perspective of moving from Windows Vista, but also for those coming from Windows XP.
Join a selected Microsoft panel to discuss the most common challenges around application compatibility when coming from a legacy operating system, why changes were made along the way, compatibility technologies inside the OS and methods for getting incompatible applications to run on Windows 7.
Along the way we share tips and tricks, demonstrate free tools to analyze and fix applications and answer your specific questions about application compatibility live.
Oh wait! there is more: In Part 2 of this Virtual Round Table discussion (planned for later this Summer/Fall), we'll discuss the options and approaches for using virtualization tools In depth to address application incompatibilities – including presentation virtualization, desktop virtualization and application virtualization. We'll be sending out more details and posting information to www.microsoft.com/springboard for part 2 as the dates are finalized.
As part of the "virtual" experience, you may submit your questions about Windows 7 Application Compatibility to the panel live during the event—or submit questions in advance to firstname.lastname@example.com.

A prefect time and location, close to the heart of Taos but on a quiet country road. Owner knows the area well and gave good recommendations for dinner and museums. Will definitely recommend this spot to anyone planning to visit this area.
We had a wonderful 3 days at Casa Gallina. I left totally relaxed and loved the environment. The girls and Richard made it special for us.
We had a few days of peace and serenity at a very hectic time in our lives. We will return, not for Taos, but for Casa Gallina and Richard.
I wanted a place to stay that I could really relax and get away from it all. This was it. It was a great place for this. Richard was the best and made sure we were taken care of. Lovely casita.
I had never been to New Mexico and always wanted to go for a creative retreat. I found Casa Gallina a bit on a whim--looked at the pictures, read the reviews, and booked in about 15 minutes. Best 15 minute decision ever! The property is beautiful, with Richard's heart and soul evident in every little touch. I've never felt more welcome upon arriving at a destination ever! Map, directions, tips on restaurants, things to do, coffee places (and oh...the coffee from World Cup...) The cassitas are homey and gorgeous and comfortable and every day Richard stops by with a little extra something from his own kitchen or yard. The chickens are soothing, the sky is huge--if you want to experience New Mexico, do it from Casa Gallina!
Our host LeAn was welcoming and helpful with evening plans. And she cooked up a memorable breakfast which we enjoyed while chatting with her about cats, peacocks, and all things Taos. The room was comfortable Southwest and having a fireplace with real wood was a special treat. I'd definitely return to American Artists Gallery House on my next stay in Taos.
Case Gallina is a perfect way to experience the rustic beauty that is Taos. Every aspect of our cottage was great- it was cozy and convenient - had exactly what we needed- good coffee- cozy bed with nice sheets- a great fireplace- chickens in the back yard that offered us the most delicious eggs ever! I will return again and again! Thank you, Richard. I know there is a lot hard work and attention that goes into the east and simplicity of it all. Kindly, Todd
This was a great spot that I would certainly visit again. My only regret is that I didn't get more of Richard's Rosemary Scones!
My wife and I stayed a couple of nights in the Gecko's Garden room shortly after Christmas. The room was very nice and comfortable and the Inn was conveniently located. Breakfasts were delicious. We recommend this Inn to Taos travelers.
If you want to be among the scenery and stars, enjoy a room, fireplace or near a little village, look no further than Adobe & Stars. The breakfast is the highlight of this place with Corrinne giving hospitable and French touches to each breakfast each morning. We were slow to leave but want to come back again.
Friendly, welcoming and a delicious breakfast
Yolanda and her staff provide a warm and friendly stay along with beautiful accommodations in a nice quite location. Best regards, Kathy and Randy
The Inn was lovely, inside and out and decorated beautifully for Christmas. Every room was clean and delightful to include the living room and dining room. The Inn was easy to find and once there we had easy access to our room which was large and well-appointed and also very clean. Yolanda, the owner, made our stay special and treated us like old friends. She was delightful and funny and very helpful in recommending good restaurants and even the best slopes for skiing. Altogether it was a wonderful place to stay and we will go back again.
beautiful, relaxing space with stupendous views; well-stocked and comforting fireplace and kitchen; and the kindest, most welcoming host you will ever meet. Fantastic stay!
My wife and I stayed at Dreamcatchers in November 2015. Our hosts were wonderful even before we arrived. John provided excellent advice on getting to the Inn from Santa Fe and even though we arrived at night we did not get lost! Our room was wonderful and cozy and the wood burning fireplace was great on a cold night with snow outside on the ground. Recommendations for places to eat were excellent and we ate at Lambert's two nights in a row for outstanding gourmet meals with excellent wines. Breakfasts were wonderful and fun given the mix of interesting guests at the table. Certainly, this is where we hope to stay next time we come to Taos!
John and Prudy have created quite an oasis--within walking distance to town square yet far enough to maintain that quiet, rustic feel. Wealth of knowledge made planning our time there a breeze; we didn't feel like we wasted a minute. Scrumptious breakfasts, catering to guest needs and food sensitivities. Looking forward to a return trip!
Lovely digs. Very quiet and restful. Spectacular views. Lots of privacy. No "group breakfast" here, so one can wake up at your own pace. Owners are very sweet. Rooms tastefully appointed, avoiding the kitsch of many B&B's.
This place is a most wonderful getaway. Comfortable, private, quiet, charming, I can only say good things about our stay. It is not exactly a bed and breakfast, in that you have your own kitchen and farm fresh eggs are provided, plus kitchen staples are provided, but you will need to buy and prepare your own food for the most part (although Richard happened to provide us with the occasional delicious and delightful snack here and there). This is not the cheapest place to stay, but the location is great, the whole experience was wonderful, our host most charming, the accommodations everything we expected and more. I would highly recommend that anyone stay here if you want a non-chain experience that is first rate in every way. We would go back in a heartbeat and will always remember our fantastic stay here!
Outstanding service and value. Away from the hustle and bustle but still within 5-10 minutes of anything/everything to do in Taos. We loved Taos Country Inn B&B.
This is a very nice, well worth the price, off the beaten path, out of the way B&B. Having stayed at three other B&B's in Taos over the years, we have found a place we will definitely be returning to. The breakfast is excellent!
I have had my eye on Casa Gillina for a couple of years. When I found it online, I researched it along with all the other B&Bs in the Taos area. In my research, I found Casa Gillina to meet my needs the most. It did NOT disappoint. Everything and more than what I could have asked for. The Leghorn is well appointed and beautifully decorated. The fresh eggs each morning we're a delight. The baked goods were delicious. The grounds are beautifully maintained. The hosts are very friendly and helpful. We will return in the future. Thank you for a most enjoyable vacation!
This was our first ever BnB and we were very pleased with our experience. The Dreamcatcher is a great location in Taos. The hosts were very nice people, professional and easy to deal with.
We have stayed at Casa Gallina multiple times and are always impressed by the property-inside and out. The rooms are so well decorated and appointed that you feel right at home. The large grounds/yard are very well maintained and provide an inviting opportunity to explore and sit and take in the wonderful environment of this rural place. The girls (chickens) are enjoyable to watch and the gardens with the acequias crossing the yard create a magic atmosphere. Our hosts, Richard and Matt, provide and maintain a welcome mat all their own. They bring hot muffins one morning and warm cookies the next along with unlimited eggs delivered to your room. Each time we arrive there is a personal thank you note awaiting along with wine and snacks. Even the neighbor's donkeys give out a welcome shout. We WILL be back!
Welcoming. Comfortable room. Friendly. Peaceful. Quite. Nice garden. Outdoor hammocks. Delicious breakfast.¿
Lovely place; lovely hosts; great breakfasts and snacks; very accommodating; excellent location in walking distance to center of Taos.

Like any site with lots of traffic, we may have some occasional "bugs" in the system. We're always tweaking this site to make it stable and reliable, but there's bound to be some glitches here and there.
Here's a few suggestions for your if you run into a problem:
"I am unable to download any of these files"
Sometimes you can set your computer's security settings so high, it won't let you download ANY files, let alone the ones we offer here. If you are RIGHT clicking the download link and the "save as" option is greyed-out and not clickable, this is your problem. You'll need to lower your security settings in your browser and probably also disable your "content advisor" before your computer will allow you to download the file. You can always reinstate these settings after you've completed your download.
"I got a Bad/Corrupted Download."
Occasionally, when there's lots of internet traffic, you may get a partial or corrupted download of one of our freebies. To fix that, you'll need to delete the file, and then re-download it a bit differently: RIGHT click it, and when you get to "save as", RENAME the file slightly before downloading it. If you don't rename the file, your computer will "think" it already has that file and so will try to default back to the original, corrupted version. Usually the revised name file will come through A-OK.
"I've downloaded today's PDF file and all I see is grey pages."
The pages in some of the PDF ebooks we offer on our site are actually scans of pages from the original books, and some folks do not have their Adobe Reader properly set to view these images. Here's how to fix that: From the Acrobat Reader menu, click on "Preferences", and then "Page Display", and then check "Display Large Images", and then "Okay". That should enable you to view these pages.
Any other problems or comments, please let us know by sending us an email, and we'll get back to you as soon as we can.
11 Responses to "Problems?"
Just wanted to let you know that I think there's a typo in the first line under problems…..did you miss the word "with" lots of traffic?
I can't see any of your videos. It is just a white square. Am I missing something?
I would like to download some of these ebooks onto my new eReader…Kindle Fire to be precise. Will I be able to do that and if so, how? I have tried already and my device always tells me "cannot open file". Any hints?
I would also like directions on how to load to a kindle.fire… your site and free ebooks is one reason I wanted an e-reader. It is not convenient for me to read at desktop or phone… but I can't. Right click with kindle…
Hi Jim,
How do I download some of the mp3 files to a MacBook Pro?
When I click here, it starts playing, but it doesn't download it. Thanks for all the information and the new site is so cheerful and nice.
Thanks, Patricia
I got a Corrupted Download of the Kindle version of THE STORY OF ROLF AND THE VIKING BOW (multiformat ebook)I tried to do what you said for it but i did not work.Others have had this problem too, so can you fix PLEASE?!
Is there any way to get the daily updates through RSS Feed?
When I press control and click there isn't an option to save to my mac. Does anyone have a suggestion? I can play it but I want to save it.

The whole book is excellent, but the best part is about road positioning, which Franklin calls "probably the most important [of all cycling skills]" (p. 92). Here are some key citations.
"...positioning is one of the most important traffic skills for a cyclist to acquire, yet is precisely here that most cyclists perform badly. Many cyclists fail to position themselves properly because of their fear of traffic, yet ironically, it is this very fear that probably puts them most at risk." (p. 91)
"An important rule of road sharing is that no one should unnecessarily impede the passage of anyone else. However, you are quite justified in restricting the movements of other vehicles where this is important for your own safety, and you should not hesitate to do so when necessary."
Franklin has developed the concept of the "primary riding position" which is "in the center of the rightmost line of traffic for the direction in which you wish to travel." Why is this the primary position? Because, "here you will be well within the zone of maximum surveillance of both following drivers and those who might cross your path, and you will have the best two-way visibility of side roads and other features along the road. The road surface will usually be flatter here ...". Earlier on the same page he explains the basis: "Motorists primarily give attention to that part of the highway where is risk to themselves: they are not nearly so good at noticing anything outside their path. This zone of maximum surveillance is often very narrow, especially at higher speeds - it does not extend to much ...Read more ›
The lone drawback to this book for anyone who lives outside the United Kingdom or Ireland might be that some of the information is specific to traffic standards in those countries. The most obvious of these is driving on the left, and Americans like me will have to think "right" whenever Franklin writes "left."
This is a very minor nit, however. There is no book yet published in North America that is so succinct yet so complete on the practice of cycling for transportation.
Author John Franklin wrote his original Cyclecraft book to focus on UK cycling. After its smashing success, Mr. Franklin rewrote it to take into consideration the needs of North American cyclists (the focus being on US and Canadian cycling; no mention of Mexico is made). The UK book's smashing success appears to have followed it across the pond.
A large reason for the book's success is the imminent practicality all throughout the entire book. First and foremost, it seeks to change readers' minds if perchance they should feel like second class vehicles on the roadway. The book seeks to responsibly remove any timidity from the reader and expects them to 1) Make safety paramount in their decision making process, and 2) Seek peer status with the rest of the vehicles on the road, not to prove any sort of point, but rather to fulfill point #1. Yes, behaving yourself no different from motorized vehicles on a roadway is actually safer for both yourself and those around you. The book explains all the reasoning, situations, and peculiarities of bicycling on roadways.
But don't think that the book only speaks to city bicycling. Far from it.Read more ›
This is a very readable book, including information about other forms of cycling such as tricycles and recumbents (I have a recumbent trike so I was interested to read this), towing children in a trailer, tandems etc. My only criticism is that sometimes the book makes cycling on a normal upright seem rather dangerous (comments about braking correctly, not skidding in the wet etc) and might have put me off a little if I cycled one of these. However despite this reservation I can heartily recommend this book and have found it exceptionally useful for my own cycling and something that I will refer to many times.
