Damn that camera of yours takes some nice crisp photos. Hard to believe it is just a pocket cam.
Great to hear. I still haven't held a copy in my hands! (Still on the road.)
I hadn't thought about a fundraising site, but I did contemplate a kickstarter project to support a European tour of duty. :) If anyone has any ideas or experience there, I'm all ears.
I'm bummed, too, FJ--I have nightmares that the trip is over--and then I wake up and realize it is.
Nice catch. Didn't see that.
Yeah, I'm still amazed at what it can do. The video it takes is incredible as well. I should get a mount and attach it to the bike for onboard video.
Yep, you got me, I'm in, sounds, looks, feels fantastick. Craic on dude.
Great RR!
actually I thought the track resembled a bit the outline of "hang loose"
guess we all have our own interpretations, its kinda like a Rorschach inkblot test
Received the (coffee table) book today .....can't wait to read thru it...but thinking that it will push me over the edge and into the dealership to buy a Panigale.
The book does look great. Congrats and continued success,
Hey there AntiHero,
Great read! You completed something that I was so close to being able to do myself, even got the OK from my wife to do so until doing the "right thing" backfired and turned our lives upside down (see http://vmsfan.blogspot.com/2012/09/the-ugly-side-to-being-hero.html)
But reading this and seeing the pics, gives hope and inspiration that once I have recovered...to start back on track to completing my dream...like you - a solo round robin of the USA by bike.
It is the opportunity to see the good in what others can and will do for the benefit of others and to taste the raw beauty of what our great nation has hidden.
If you do decide to hit up a Pacific NW trip, let me kow. While I still have a spare room, it can be yours plus anything you may want to see or do here, I could point you in a direction.
Definately need to get a copy of your book.
Great job!
This RR has had some of the best insight i have ever heard, made me think about things in my life i never really thought of before and was really a mentally opening read...
Where is the book?
Did i miss a section where to order it?
Just make sure you post a pic here if you do get one! :) And happy you like the book. I'm still moving around a bit, so I haven't seen a copy yet! Soon, soon.
Aaron: Sorry to hear about the foot. And the financial disruption caused by the injury. Appreciate the offer, though. And like you, I am also waiting for the moment when I can take off and do another long trip. If I head up North I'll let you know.
Thanks for the feedback, Jake. Book links are in my sig.
Ahh no wonder i dont see it i have the sigs turned off...
How did I miss this thread! Brillian trip, simply brilliant! Thanks for sharing!
Just a quick thanks for taking the time and effort to post this and take us along with you. I've been reading off and on for months now and that shot of the Duc in storage makes me physically ill. I know it won't be long before Spring lures her out again.
Travel safe.
I see a european trip is considered. I would be very interested in seeing your experience of the old continent. Don't underestimate the cultural differences so close together. You have done thousands of miles and only seen American people that all speak english (sort of), but if I go 40 miles south I'm in France, and 40 miles north and I'm in Holland. Not only does language differ, but also cultural differences are much bigger than what you are used to.
I for one would be very keen to see what the great observer of the human nature that you are makes of this. I think you either go crazy or stay here permanently...
On another note : loved your ieas on limbic depravation. I am not an expert on this so i shall not comment, but great ideas. As a newborn I spent three months in a special chamber, and I recognise what you describe, albeit not that problematic (my parents could take me out and cuddle from time to time).
And one final remark : I admire the people that take trips like this, and under different circumstances I would have done so also, but now I have chosen to live the live of a proud father, taking trips to the zoo instead. Not one ounce of regret, mind you, but I greatly appreciate the non-judgemental character of your writing. I am sick of tired of so-called adventurers calling us "sheep" simply because we made other choices. I love my babies and will never regret that choice.
97 pages, loved it!
"Right here, right now"
Amazing how four words can change your attitude at any given moment.
Thanks for the huge effort and bringing us all along for the ride.
Happy trails
Finally done after 3 days of reading. Enjoyed every bit of it and I just bought a hard copy of your book. I hope it goes towards making another great RR for us to indulge in.
I'm going to share your story with anyone that's having trouble getting off their ass and "living". So many people sit around and waste their lives while the opportunity to see the world is right in front of them.
Last week i recieved a copy of your book.
Thanks for the great RR and keep going on with that - you have a kind of typing your words to bound someones mind to the story forgettin most of his surroundings.
Thanks Anti !
Thanks, guys! It's a very profound experience to know that my words and my journey has inspired so many and encouraged others to live life more deeply.
Today was a very good day for me for three reasons I thought I'd share:
1) 2/9/13 marks the two year anniversary of surviving the brain tumor excavation that saved my life. I spent a lot of time today remembering the terrible days leading up to the diagnosis; a lot of time remembering the awful days after; and a lot of time thinking about how fucking great it is to be alive. (See celebratory video below!*)
2) I ran three hilly SF miles and didn't have the usual coma-like symptoms I've had in the past when I ran or rode my Cervelo. (Ironman number 5--could it be a non-lethal possibility?)
3) Ducati has been following along silently (those sneaky bastards!). They've also appreciated the ride enough to invite me to an event next month, but I didn't confirm what details I can share, so for now I'll only say it's going to f'in ROCK! I'll share the details when I can and of course--stay tuned for post-event Pics and Stories!!!!!
(*A few weeks after surgery I got the ok to remove the stitches from my head, but didn't feel like driving all the way to UCSF to do something I could do myself. So I grabbed my Swiss Army knife, an Exacto blade, hooked up a webcam (so I could see what I was doing) and, well....you've been warned!)
Removing Stitches - YouTube
AH, u are WOLVERINE!
Swiss army FTW!
All the best. Hope Ducati hooks u up!
Your journey, pics,& words, was very inspiring.
Cheers, Dave.
since weeks i was wondering if Duc have seen your journey, and thinking they maybe do somethin' with you, like you know, master ceremony
i like the way you remove the stitches of your head :huh...............:eek1 .........
obviously you have used the right tool
cheers man
Badass video! A true Ironman.

The BC women's tennis team defeated Emmanuel College 9-0 on Saturday afternoon

More Fashion Tips for Dressing After 60
1. Don't shun your past
You're a few years older, but you're still you, so dress accordingly. If you think you need to redo your wardrobe, think again. Movie star Rita Moreno is still working the hot pink dresses and big baubles she loved in the days of West Side Story — she's just wearing updated versions of them. Moreno doesn't shy away from color (we would really like to meet the person who said mature fashionistas can't wear color, so not true) and trades the 4 inch heels in for a pair of 2 ½ chic sandals. At over 80 years old, Rita is showing everyone that she's the same fun, fiery woman she was in her youth — with the same chic style.
If you've always loved the way you look in blue, or if your wardrobe work-horse is a tailored pair of slacks, stick with it. Love that strapless dress? Wear it, but pair it with a chic cropped blazer. You know what works for you, so don't be swayed by others' opinions of what you should wear. Recall your greatest fashion moments and find a modernized, mature way of recreating them.
2. Experiment with prints and textures
No, you can't wear every trend that comes down the runway. But on the flip side, a twenty-something fashionista couldn't get away with half the fabrics you can. So while you can't go wild with mini skirts and cropped shirts (not that you'd want to), you can show personality in animal prints, florals and bold textures. No one does this better than Vogue Editor-In-Chief, Anna Wintour.
Like Anna, you can make a statement in your signature style. If you haven't already, find out what silhouette best flatters your figure. Anna likes sheath dresses, but you may prefer an A-line skirt. Once you've narrowed down the shape of your clothes, anything goes when it comes to prints. Another great way to make a statement? Statement accessories, of course. Bold sunglasses, necklaces and watches look chic with a classic ensemble.
3. If it ain't broke, don't fix it
When it comes to signature style, repeating a look isn't just acceptable, it's encouraged. Once you find a style that you look and feel great in, go ahead and buy one in every color! The best example of this is designer Carolina Herrera. She creates some of the most beautiful, elegant clothes on the runway and red carpet, so she would know.
Crisp blouse, A-line skirt, drop earrings: it's the uniform of the chic 62-year-old fashion queen. We see her in it almost every time she steps out, and are we bored? No way! She looks fabulous, and so do you in your signature look. Whether it's a shape of dress, a style of shirt or a particular color, if it works, work it, all the time.
4. Embrace pantsuits
Admit it, you used to envy how chic Katherine Hepburn looked in her pantsuits. Maybe you still envy the powerful presence her ensembles conveyed, so why not steal her style? A pantsuit works for day or night, for luncheons or parties, for the office or the church, and it always, always looks chic. Take a look at Exhibit A: Diahann Carroll in this gorgeous wear-anywhere outfit.
The pantsuit is the LBD of women over 60, partly because it takes a certain degree of sophistication to pull it off. Find one that fits your personal style and figure, get it tailored, and wherever you go, you'll always have the perfect outfit.
5. If you've got it, flaunt it
And yes, you've still got it. Want to know what else you've got? Elegance and sophistication, qualities inhabited only by a seasoned fashionista. If you're having trouble being convinced, this should give you a little inspiration:
Copyright Brenna/ Jason Fraser
That's Helen Mirren… in a bikini. Mirren is now in her 70s and is as breathtaking as ever. Newsflash: so are you. Whatever your best features are, don't be afraid to show them off. So what if fashion seems focused on the younger crowds sometimes? When it comes to style, that's all you. Have fun and create your own rules for fashion after 60!

San Bernardino sheriff's say a deputy got into a shootout with an unwanted visitor to a Yucaipa home, and one suspect remains at large.
Detective Darrin Taylor says the deputy was uninjured in the shooting, but it's unclear if the gunman that got away after the Friday morning shooting was injured.
Cpl. Randy Naquin says shots rang out a couple minutes after the deputy encountered the suspect, identified as 52-year-old Brian David Forrett.
Authorities allege that Forrett opened fire before the deputy returned fire.
Forrett then fled the scene, ramming the patrol car as he went. Naquin said a window on the deputy's patrol car was blown out in the gunfight.

Led Zeppelin: Ramble On
I went back into a big Zeppelin phase recently after coming to the conclusion that music in my lifetmie has been a HUGE disspointment. When we look back at the past 30 years, what do we have? Nirvana. DEAD (barely did any music). Sublime. DEAD.
So really, we have Madonna, Michael Jackson etc? With NO, and i mean NO legendary rock bands....
The closest to legendary is Guns and Roses. Mettalica and sh** like that. Maybe Pearl Jam... But they are nothing in comparison to the old stuff....
So, as a surfer, just download like the top 20 zeppelin songs, put it in your ride and go down the coast... It has such a sick rock and roll vibe. A counter Culture vibe... Just rock and roll.....
So yeah, Zeppelin, but Ramble On specifically.
So for any kids who have not heard this track, just go to youtube, type it in and enjoy the show. Real Rock and roll....

Meek Mill releases Kendrick Lamar diss track
Listen to Meek Mill on iHeartRadio
Meek Mill is taking aim at Kendrick Lamar for his verse Big Sean's song "Control." On "Control," Kendrick declared himself the "king of New York," while also calling out his competition by name, including Meek Mill.
Over the weekend, Meek Mill released the diss track "Ooh Kill Em." Set against the beat to Dr. Dre's "Forgot About Dre," the track finds Meek Mill calling out Kendrick for claiming he's the "king Of New York." Meek also raps that he makes songs for the streets, while Kendrick raps for a more elitist audience.
This weekend Meek Mill also found himself the target of a diss track by Cassidy called "Catch A Body." Cassidy's track was a response to a track Mill released last week called "Kendrick You Next."

Next, a flexible tube with a camera on the(sigmoidoscope) is placed through the anus. The scope isgently moved into your colon. Air isinserted into the colon toenlarge the area and help the doctor see better. The air may cause the urge to have a bowel movement or pass gas. Suction may be used to remove fluid or stool.
The doctor may take tissue samples with a tiny biopsy tool inserted through the scope. Heat (electrocautery) may be used to remove polyps. Images of the inside of your colon may be taken.
Sigmoidoscopy using a rigid scope may be done to treat problems of the anus or rectum.
How to Prepare for the Test

On March 3, 2013, the 3M Company (3M) filed a petition in the U.S. Tax Court challenging the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) on its ability to reallocate income between related parties in the presence of foreign legal restrictions that prohibit payment or receipt. (See 3M Co. v. Comr., T.C., Docket No. 5816-13 for full information regarding the 3M petition).
The IRS alleges that 3M do Brasil LDTA (3M Brazil), a 3M subsidiary, underpaid royalties to 3M for the use of certain patents and trademarks in 2006. However, 3M claims that 3M Brazil was prevented by Brazilian law from paying higher royalties and contends that the IRS does not have the authority to reallocate income under such conditions. In essence, 3M is questioning the validity of a 1994 U.S. Treasury Regulation (Treas. Reg.) § 1.482-1(h)(2)(i) and (ii) that establishes the conditions under which companies facing foreign legal restrictions may demonstrate that they should be exempt from certain tax payment considerations.

Every boxing/wrestling boot i've come across that was a good deal has been available only in small sizes,or for 'normal' fit feet in width.
Are New Balance or Asics boots any good? They are good for the larger sizes and wide feet in running shoes.

Chargers 34, Steelers 24: Philip Rivers threw three touchdown passes and visiting San Diego forced two Ben Roethlisberger turnovers to win in Pittsburgh for the first time in 15 regular-season trips.
Danario Alexander caught seven passes for 88 yards and two touchdowns for the Chargers (5-8), who snapped a four-game losing streak and won for just the second time in nine games.
Mike Wallace had seven catches for 112 yards and two scores for the Steelers (7-6), who remained tied for the final AFC playoff spot when Cincinnati lost to Dallas.
Roethlisberger was not sharp in his return from shoulder and rib injuries, completing 22 of 42 passes for 285 yards. He had three late touchdowns but also threw an interception and had an errant throw bounce off a lineman's back and turn into a San Diego touchdown. It was ruled a backward pass that Quentin Jammer recovered in the end zone, and the call was upheld after a review to make it 27-3.
Pittsburgh punted on its first six possessions and turned it over on downs on the seventh before Shaun Suisham's 49-yard field goal made it 13-3 with four seconds left in the opening half. The Steelers picked up just two first downs in their first seven possessions.
GAME NOTEBOOK: The Chargers coach Norv Turner beat the Steelers for the first time in seven meetings. … Despite the loss, the Steelers limited San Diego to 294 total yards, the eighth consecutive game they have held an opponent under 300 yards. … Pittsburgh managed just 69 rushing yards and has failed to reach 100 yards in four of the past five games.

Preheat oven 375°F.
In large bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt and spices; mix well. Melt shortening in large saucepan. Cool slightly. Add sugar, molasses and eggs; mix well. Add four cups of the dry ingredients; mix again.
Turn mixture onto lightly floured surface. Knead in remaining dry ingredients by hand. Add a little more flour, if necessary, to make the dough firm.
Roll out on a lightly floured surface to a 1/4 inch thickness and cut out cookies with cookie cutters.
Bake 6-10 minutes for small to medium size cookies and 10-15 minutes for large cookies.
If you´re not going to use your gingerbread right away, wrap dough in plastic and refrigerate. Refrigerated dough will keep for a week, but be sure to remove it 3 hours prior to rolling so it softens and is workable.
Substitute 1 1/4 cups light corn syrup for molasses to make Blonde Gingerbread.
YIELD: Makes about 40 medium-sized cookies.

Janie Bryant on Mad Men's characters
Inspired by the mood of French New Wave films from the late '50s and early '60s such as Breathless, this month's shoot with actress Jessica Alba was all about new beginnings. The star arrived on the set (a warehouse in Long Island City, New York) sporting a thick layer of freshly cut bangs, boyfriend jeans, and oxford lace-ups. Also in attendance were the new generation of power players making the New York fashion scene—Frank Tell, Jason Wu, Julian Louie, Rad Hourani, and Joseph Altuzarra—who posed for individual shots with Alba, who wore her favorite pieces from each designer's collection. Next, the actress tried on stacks of diamond bracelets from Tiffany & Co. paired with a sky blue Grecian Versace one-shoulder dress and a flashy lamé number from Prada while reminiscing about the last time she did a cover for ELLE, when she was secretly pregnant and nervoussomeone would notice her tummy. What a difference a year makes.

It was an outstanding hotel, well located, easy parking and WiFi access in the room
Location, nice amenities. The staff can be more friendlier & understanding.
Beautiful building and goodlocation
An absolutely fabulous hotel in the heart of Avila, just opposite the cathedral. Great rooms, great reception staff, and a great rate. Car park is on-site with rates about average for a Spanish city.
The hotel was beautifully presented, and the room was large enough for an extra bed and a baby cot. The buffet breakfast was good value for money. The hotel has it's own garage for parking (at a cost). We thought it definitely deserved it's 4 star rating The room was too warm and was not easy to ventilate - the only option was to leave the window open but there was too much noise outside (including a garbage truck in the early hours of the morning). It was not easy to find the hotel as the town is a rabbit warren of one way streets and the only road to the hotel had been blocked off by the local police.
This was a beautifully restored building with character, style and elegance. The staff were friendly and efficient. The aircon was broken and so only blew out hot air into our room. Our room was opposite the cathedral clock tower, which seemed lovely until it chimed every half hour all night!
Perfect location right in the middle of the old city. Wonderful old Palace sympathetically converted to an excellent modern hotel. Great breakfast.
very good location, friendly and helpful staff. Very clean and comfortable rooms.
Excellent high standards,historic room and helpful staff nothing everything was excellent
it was very well situated
Staff was friendly, location excellent The hotel is dated. The furniture is from the 80s, the whole room is not even a 1 star hotel
Great location. 4 adults where comfortable in a 3 person room. Clean. Large bathroom. Air conditioning did not get the room cool, so room was stuffy.
Excellent hotel, the best location.
Water in the room, had to change room to a room for single person
marvellous space and grand furnishings no
The central location, the size of the rooms and the facilities within the hotel were all excellent We had a special reduced rate, so I would not complain, but had I paid the full rate I would have complained about the plumbing which was incredibly noisy. It sounded like a pneumatic drill when turning the taps on full.
The situation of the hotel, inside the old walls, and close to cafe's and resturantes. The old hotel was beautiful. No
The fact that it was a palace, in the centre of ther old town & very reasonably priced. Nothing
Very nice and valuable hotel.
Central location No bar available and lateness of serving dinner
The Hotel was very good and the location was fine, just outside Avila. The staff on the reception was not very nice. Also, everyone had to show IDs and sign papers, I think it was too much.
Excellent facilities, very clean neat rooms. Easy to find and available parking, very friendly staff A short drive away from the old town... requires a vehicle to get around.
The hotel was siutated very well for the motorways etc and would be an excllent base for a business person and their conferences etc, however, for a tourist it is not so good No bar ??!!
secure parking was included in the price
friendly and helpful staff; good underground parking facilities; bus conveniently nearby for trips to and from the city; location of a shopping centre and a petrol station
lovely menu for diner incl. wine in the price of it the staff is poor in speaking English
Comfortable spacious rooms, each one with a separate living/sleeping area. Local bus service to Avila was very reliable. Hotel did not have a pool which would have been a great bonus. Poor restaurant facilities on site.
Ease of access by car coupled with the ease of getting into Avila old town on the local bus for 75 cents. Restaurant good for breakfast but a decent restaurant for dinner would be a bonus.
The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. The rooms were incredibly nice for the price that we paid, and there was lots of space to move around in; although it was a double room fit for 3, it didn't feel crowded at all.
Room was good value for money, hotel has easy access if touring northern Spain by car (not so good if visiting Avila only). Would not be convenient for anyone intending to visit the centre of Avila for a short break without a car. Slightly unpleasant smell from the drains!
I read some of the previous negative comments, and found none of them to be true, my GPS brang me directly to a square 50 m away opposite from the hotel, where I could easily park the car as well and the air-condition was strong. In general, I am not a fan of "traditional" - old dusty hotels, often loaded with a lot of stars, which needed refurbishment long time ago. Therefore I was even more positively surprised to find a very modern, lately renovated hotel, with new furniture, brand-new bathrooms. For me by far the best choice in Avila. The only point I need to give away is, that the rooms are not very spacey, if you are traveling with a baby or with a lot a suitcases, that can be a problem. And from the corridor it can be a bit noisy.
Hotel has a good location just inside the city walls. There is a public car park just outside the nearest gate and the hotel is a 3 minute walk.
Location was excellent, convenient to the sights of the historic town, and the rooms were quiet, clean, and well-equipped. No
A historic clean City. Can be a convenient base to see the whole area People at the hotel are doing their best to stasfied their guests
Excellent value for money in a gret location within the heart of the old town
The staff was very friendly, and the rooms, although plain, were extremely large and clean. As a very small point, the TV had only local chanels, so there were no English programs/international news.
Location is next to Cathedral and not too far from Basilica or other attraction inside the wall area, so good that there is a safebox inside the room. could not find anything
The hotel is inside the city wall. Excellent location for making a city tour. The room was larger than a typical hotel room in Spain. We did not use the hotel restaurant. We like the hotem and would like to recommend it to everybody.
The front desk staff at Hotel Las Moradas are very helpful, cheerful, friendly and very pleasant to deal with. The fact that it is in a walking street that does not allow vehicle entry, is something to be communicated to the guests beforehand. However, this was more than made up by the friendly and kind reception staff.
Everything including Avila, staff were fantastic, majority spoke english (if not still tried to communicate), room was great, thoroughly enjoyed the balcony and the location was perfect.
Position good for visting town walls and close to main attractions. Also easy to access by car as beside one of main town gates. Pleasant hotel with beautiful gardens. Our room over looked noisy cobbled street and cars contantly rumbled by all through the night coming away from late bars and clubs which tended to keep us awake. So if booking request a room on the quieter side of the hotel
The location and the ambience. They did not accept American Express Traveller Cheques (!!!). Had we not had cash and Credit Cards we would have been in trouble.
One can not think of a better place when planning to go to Ávila. The Parador is located right into the City Walls, parking is a breeze if you are driving and it has classical "paradores quality". Don't even bother looking for a cheaper hotel, this place is the best value for your money. Rooms have lots of space, plus all modern amenities. A must!
within the city wall and a converted palace usual parador standards none
Very convenient to the old city and all its charms. Has a wonderful sense of history, with a great garden and atmospheric public spaces. The room was serviceable, but nothing special.
Location inside the city walls allowing excellent opportunities to explore on foot and sample the local services. Difficult to raise a smile, but that's typical of hotel staff in main land Spain.
Location near the wall was a good place to explore Avila One of our lampstand lights was not working. It took 3 calls to get someone to rectify the problem. The room was warn and the air-conditioning was not working. We ordered the 80th anniversary dinner selection but the food served was nowhere near as good as the Parador de Vic we stayed at in Jun 09.. .
Checkin was already possible by 11'00 A.M. Free parking space in front of the hotel avbl.
Comfort, lounge area and background music, food, pleasant staff Initially placed in a 'smoking room' though had requested when booking for a non smokers room.Staff immediately changed the room and all was well.
The hotel is very nice looking and the staff is really nice and helpful There is no special price for the Spa if you stay in the hotel, and it is a bit expensive for what it is. In addition, there is a sauna for female and another one for male, which is annoying if you go there with your husband
Basic nice hotel, reasonable price. Couple of minutes to city centre. Plantiful enough breakfast for such a low room price.
The staff made us feel welcome as soon as we walked trough the door,and where very helpful with directions to the various sites in avila None
room and acomodation
The simple architectural solutions, the available space in the room, the garage and easy access to it.
Hotel really fine, very good, new, but quite far from city center. We were with car, so we have no problems. To reach hotel without a car quite difficult, I wouldn't try to walk in night time in this commercial/industrial district. Very strange, that breakfast was in hall, but for coffee you should ask at reception.
Staff were friendly and helpful, despite limited English. Room was basic but functional. Restaurant seemed to be popular with locals. Location was in industrial area. Building is industrial in appearance. Breakfast very basic. Not a vacation hotel.
The room and the bathroom were clean and spatious enough. The staff on duty was nice and polite. Hotel is in an industrial area, far from the historic city,it was noisy due to the traffic (mainly of lorries) in the morning. The air condition was out of order, and as we were very tired, we didn't have the patience to deal with it for any longer, and that greatly reduced our comfort. The reception looks like a kind of desk in corner of a motorway restaurant and is not a good entrance to the hotel.
New building. Clean rooms. Nice view on the town:) Free parking. A bit far from the centre of the town, 30 minutes by foot. Air conditioning was out of order.
Not much to like. Very hard to find and in the middle of an industrial estate. Advert says 10 min walk from City walls but in fact 30 min and not a good area to walk As above
Breakfast was very reasonable... We don't advise nobody to accept a room on the ground floor. The hotel is mainly frequented by truck drivers that pass all evening at the bar drinking beer and talking loud so, if you are in the ground floor forget to sleep or rest before midnight. In the morning, the same people take breakfast between 7am and 7.30am, before leaving and, again the noise is too much and you won't be able to keep sleeping. Really, this was not a good experience...
the staff were kind and most welcoming and made us feel welcome location is marvellous and excitng to stay food at restuarant not too good
Excellent location, helpful staff, good breakfast
Unbeatable location, as you open window you enjoy view of city walls. Clean, very spatious room, free wifi. Hostal includes affordable, but very good resaturant, so we really didn't need to search for other resaturants. Somewhat modest breakfast, no AC.
It was very conveniently located for all sights in Avila. The hotel staff were very helpful.
I was in a Congress
The hotel is situated in the very center of the city and the view from the room is really magnificent: you are admiring the famous fortress wall. Also it is located two steps from the main Cathedral and other sightseeing places of the city. Wi-Fi did not work although it was said that I do not need any key or password to enter the network
verry relevant location for tourists and in 15-20 min by foot to the bus or train station. Nothing to complain about. The breakfast was also abundant and varied.
Excellent clean and comfortable room with a great view. Central location with easy access. Helpful staff who took care to provide a secure area for our bicycles overnight.
Very good ,clean and comfortable wiyh a good breakfast. Better than most hostals that I have stayed in.
Excellent location immediately adjacent to the ancient walls surrounding the old city. Also just by the cathedral and the access point to the walk along the walls. The hotel itself is just a very basic budget hotel, but is acceptable for a short stay. Rooms at the front suffer from street noise. Our party occupied two rooms, in one them the shower cubicle was not of acceptable size, the other was OK.
We all had a very pleasent stay I thought that all the staff on the reception desk should have been able to speak English. Parking should have been free thought that was expensive.
Helpful staff, convenient for old town, excellent breakfast but a bit over priced.Parking a five minute walk to an underground park, expensive but very secure.
The location is fine, it takes about 20 minutes walk to the historical center. There is traffic in the street, but it was rather quiet in the night. The room was nice and spacious. The hotel has its own garage. Some of the staff did not speak English. There is no own restaurant, only a bar. This bar offered small meals but unfortunately was full of smoke.
Easy to find, good central location and comfortable room
Staff very welcoming and helpful. Room a bit dated, but very well equipped and spacious. Clean. Breakfast buffet was an excellent selection. Good location being walkable into the centre, but far enough out to have car parking and to be easy to find by car. Also close to station. Great value for money. We had a lovely stay and would book again. A few minor things - water was a very strange colour, window wouldn't stay open and room was very warm. The undergound car park is tiny and very difficult to manoeuvre into spaces. This wasn't too much of a problem as there were not many guests with cars when we stayed, but might be an issue in high season.
We liked this hotel for its proximity to the train station. We also like the way the hotel is decorated - antique furniture creating an ambiance of royalty, representative of the Kingdom. Very well done. Staff are very helpful. Hotel room is very clean. Unfortunately, we didn't have the time to try their breakfast which I'm sure will be great as well. Nothing at all.
Well sign posted so easy to find. A lovely hotel delightfully decorated and within walking distance of Avila's attractions.
It was a lovely little hotel in a renovated building right next to the wall in Avila. The room was a nice mixture of old stone walls and sleek modern features Internet did not work at all and the front desk seemed unconcerned. They indicated that the problem was just with my computer but I found out later that no one could get a connection. Things like that happen, but I would have appreciated the truth. It would have saved me hours of trying. The welcome brochure says that this is the 'sixth best hotel in Spain' based on ratings for value. The space lived up to that rating but the staff did not.
The character and charm of the place. The friendliness of the concierge and easy going manners. Although I was able to request an hairdryer from the concierge, one installed in each room would be preferable. Also the wireless internet was not working.
Very friendly stafff. Parking facilities at less then 300 m from hotel. Spacious and modern rooms with all comfort. Breakfast buffet is all right and early breakfast is possible by simple notice.
the location to the city
Room was clean and quite, even though it was small/ Very difficult to find. Could not locate even via GPS. Neiter hotel or street address. Staff could not or did not want to speak English. This is my problem, but they could have been more helpfull if they want English speaking tourists.
1. Location -- it was a great thrill to look directly onto the walls of Avila on one side, and into the open countryside on the other. Accessibility for visits to the city was excellent. 2. The building - lovely to be in an old building most tastefully restored. The bedroom was particularly beautiful. 3. Staff - the concierge and restaurant and bar were all most friendly and helpful in meeting our requests. Our only criticisms were lack of ventilation in the bathroom which, despite the fact that the hotel has only recently opened, gave the bathroom and bedroom a slightly damp smell. Also, it's not in a convenient place for vehicle access, but who cares, we were not driving.
The room itself was pleasant. Everything was relatively new and in excellent condition. We thought the hotel grounds were more generous. In fact, our hotel room looked directly at an apartment complex. The breakfast was very limited and most items were pre-packaged. The pool was not full during our stay in September although the weather was very warm.
the proximity of the hotel to the city sites
Friendly staff and great location. I didn´t like the noise which meant I couldn´t sleep.
The Hotel was the best value place I have stayed at in my three weeks in Spain. The staff were very welcoming, the room was very comfortable with good shower, air conditioning and TV, the location was fantastic, just outside the city wall accessed through the restaurant (note though only when it is open - so check the hours). The bar staff were very friendly and made a solo traveller very welcome. Having to leave
Good location, easy to find. Good view of city Free parking was limited, secure parking was expensive
The pillows were the worst and flat pillows i ever dreamed with
Hotel was located outside the walls of Avila but a few minutes drive to all the convents and churches. Located almost across the street from the 4 post monument. Staff friendly and helpful. Restaurant was pricey for a mediocre meal.
Shower was wonderful, and probably the best feature. Older folks, as we are, we were glad that I didn't have to cllimb over the edge of a tub, risk my neck trying not to slip, and not wet the floor around the glass half door that other hotels have. The Spanish type pillows that run the width of the bed. Would prefer the individual pillos that one finds in the USA
Location and view Air-conditioning was ineffectual and our room became uncomfortably hot
The hotel offers a nice view of Avila. The personal tried the best even if the hotel is being renovated now. There is an internet point for customers. The rooms were large enough to feel comfortable. Due to the fact that they are renovating, there are no rooms to sit down and have a coffee or a beer, have a chat or just relax. There is a petrol station next to the hotel.
Modern hotel, close poximity to ancient town.
very comfortable clean room modern design pleanty of parking east reach of city and easy to find did not like toilet doors not closing tight no privacy
Convenient to get onto the motorway system. OK for a basic overnight stop if the price was cheaper. Hotel is on a busy road adjacent to a petrol station. Restaurant facilities were minimal due to wedding being held. Along walk to Avila and hilly. A/C not very efficient
Great view of the Avila walls. There is work going on on the hotel (but I heard no noise). Laundry service was real good and fast.
Too far and not easy access to downtown
The rooms were lovely, the location was excellent (close to everything and quiet) and all of it for a great price. We were thrilled to have this wonderful opportunity towards the end of our trip.
Very clean. Very closed to the center of the city. Typical hotel. We booked a doble bed room and we have a twin bed room.
Parking available! But only just.... Slightly out of centre
Excellent condition of hotel and rooms - clean, pleasant, friendly, helpful Would have liked wifi connection in the room
It was very peacefull and location was good
comfortable clean rooms,good view
It's a beautiful hotel with lots of character and very comfortable. Good breakfast. Friendly staff. Quiet. Well-appointed rooms with bath supplies.
Everything the hotel and staff were excellent! No Parking
Nice ambience
location rooms breakfast
The staff was friendly, gave us information and event calendar, suggested places to eat and where to go. Location was great walking distance from the cathedral and the wall. It's very noisy, a cried non stop, didn't get much sleep.
In the city centre; cheap price the reccomended restaurant is not so good and ask reception for real conditions of the offer
Great location in the heart of the old town of Avila. Basic room, but clean, tidy & comfortable. Excellent value for money.
Basic 3 star hotel, not far from old town. Staff helpful.
staff very helpfull
There was no restaurant
easy to find,5/10 mins. walk to inside the walls.
The hotel is easy accessable by car and on walking distance of old town, staff is friendly Beds are too small for north european people
We were very impressed with the help we received from one of the staff who checked our onward route for us on the hotel computer.
Staff very pleasant, comfortable and clean room with attentive service. Breakfast varied, evening meal limited to snack but pleasant enough. Staff pointed out where parking was free and safe despite the hotel having a garage which could be charged for.
Very good facilities. In 10 minutes walk you are in the old city of Avila Staff only speaking Spanish. But they was very helpful
The staff the heating system. Not easy to use
comfort of the room, facilities underground parking was difficult to negotiate
friendly staff noise in the nigth (other guests)
Location of the hotel was easy to find. Carpets were badly stained
the location was great! the bed was not very comfortable and the room was a bit small
Small but comfortable rooms. Really clean, luxurious bathtowels. Staff was very helpful. This hotel was all we needed and is nicer than some 4 star hotels we have stayed at in the past. Location is incredible and easy to find.
Location No parking available, it was been painted, the smell was terrible and spread inside the hotel
very nice, conforteble, large room, clean, quiet, warm.One of the best hotels. We reccomande it!
The fact that we had requested a quiet room was acknowledged by the very pleasant gentleman on reception. We visited in June and had no problems at all. The location of this hotel is excellent for exploring Avila and the secure carparking on site is worth the cost (we did see troops of traffic wardens throughout the city!)
location having to go out to the restaurant next door for breakfast. the restaurant was very close, however when it was cold and snowy this was not very welcome
the hotel is ideally situated next to the archway to the old city It was a little noisy a night but that said it represents reasonable value for money
modern new facilities far better than it's two star rating beds that move in the night!!!! but that is so true about hotel beds in many spanish hotels
value for money
we only stayed one night. liked the position of the hotel. would like to have stayed longer.
The staff were extremely pleaseant and helpful and the room was lovely. Also an excellent location .
The location and helpful staff
It was new, clean, well designed and efficient; the staff was helpful and friendly; the food very good, the free parking spot nearby, ideal. All in all, we found it very comfortable and most conveniently located.
Nice place in the city, very friendly staff, easy reached by car.
The owners were very friendly, always at our service. Everything is brand new and very clean. Good location, right in front of one of the old city's gates.
location,wifi & parking nearby our room was near the cafeteria some noise until the closure of the cafeteria

Indians Prove Too Much for BCJanuary 9, 2013
Tuccoa Brackett scores game-high 20 points
Salisbury, N.C.- The Brevard Tornados women's basketball team fell 64-46 to the Catawba College Indians in Goodman Gym in their return to South Atlantic Conference play on Wednesday night.
The Tornados put together a 10-4 run to take a 34-33 lead at the 17:04 mark in the second half before Catawba's Antoinette McPhail hit a pair of free throws to give Catawba the lead for good on the Indians next possession.
The Indians responded with eight unanswered points to push their lead to 42-34. Catawba had three players score in double figures on the night, including a team-high 19 points from Chloe Bully.
Brevard's Tuccoa Brackett led all scorers with 20 points, and also pulled down eight rebounds. The freshman dropped in 12 points in the first half to send Brevard into the break trailing by only two points at 26-24.
Brevard started the game three-for-three from beyond the arc to take a 9-7 lead early, but the Tornados missed their other eight tries from three-point range in the game. The Tornados never led by more than two points in the contest.
The Tornados are back on the court as they host the Lenoir-Rhyne Bears on Saturday, January 12th. Tipoff from Boshamer Gymnasium is set for 2 p.m.

10 Spring Training Sites Discussed
Palm Beach County officials spent three hours yesterday with members of the Houson Astros and Washington Nationals, going over ten potential sites for a new spring-training facility.
The county is working to bring those two teams here to get more tourism dollars and keep spring training on the east coast of Florida.
The Palm Beach Post reports the locations of the sites are not clear, but at least one County Commissioner remains optimistic that at least one more team will move here.

Marco Rubio a false dawn for the GOP
Andrew Steele
The 2012 elections in the United States saw demographics drive Barack Obama's re-election victory, as Hispanic voters pushed must-win states for the Republicans like Florida and Colorado into the Democrat column.
The Republicans report that they "got the message" and are focused on ending the Democrat lock on Hispanic voters. But their leading strategy to win Hispanic voters is flimsy and potentially ineffective.More »

Civil disobedience as protest tactic? That depends on public reaction
Bruce Anderson
I listened to a CBC radio interview a little while ago with John Bennett, the head of Canada's Sierra Club. The topic was the decision by the U.S. Sierra Club to break with tradition and use civil disobedience to stop the construction of oil sands pipelines, and what can be expected in Canada.
The Canadian chapter has decided not to follow the lead of the U.S. organization, at least for now. There are good reasons for this prudence, even though many of the Club's supporters appear not to see it that way.More »

Will teachers salvage or squander the political capital they have left?
Gerald Caplan
Demonstrating her political smarts from the get-go, Kathleen Wynne has lost no time in reaching out to Ontario's rebellious teachers. As she well understood, she was not the only victor when Ontario Liberals selected their new leader. The other clear winner was the province's public elementary and secondary teachers. By turning out at the Liberal convention to protest in the tens of thousands, and by being joined by many thousands more of their supporters, the teachers powerfully demonstrated their political muscle.More »

Gerald Caplan
Do France's objectives for Operation Serval, its military intervention in Mali, make sense? This question matters to everyone, not least to the countries from which France is seeking assistance. As the world learned in Afghanistan, to name just the most obvious recent example, if expectations are unrealistic foreign troops tend to remain long after any conceivable justification exists.More »

Trudeau is the most exciting part of Liberal race (unless you want gravitas)
Gerald Caplan
A veritable orgy of Liberal leadership races have transfixed Canadians. Well, three, anyway. In Quebec, Dr. Phillippe Couillard will be the easy winner, which curbs the enthusiasm somewhat. But in Ontario and the Dominion at large, the thrill is palpable.
The Ontario Liberal Party is about to choose a woman as leader and, at least for a moment, the province's premier. But far more remarkable than their sex, the two frontrunners, Kathleen Wynne and Sandra Pupatello, offer an unusually stark contrast in policy, personality and prospects.More »

The importance of paying politicians a fair wage
Andrew Steele
In Britain in 1840, Chartists were the equivalent of the Occupy movement: Their radical democratic demands were outrageous to the establishment and mocked as anarchism.
Consider the times:
- The Reform Act of 1832 had given the vote to middle-class men but excluded the vast working class (as well as all women).
- Elections were required only after six years, and were conducted publicly by yelling your support, leaving the voter open to bribery, intimidation and violence.
- Parliament was the domain of the wealthy, with the poor lacking the property to qualify and the income to live while in London attending to the nation.
- Gerrymandered rural constituencies dominated the electoral map, and their tiny size made them easy to buy for cash every seven years at general election time.
In response six MPs and six working men issued this revolutionary package of demands:More »

There is still time for #IdleNoMore to learn the lessons of Occupy
Gerald Caplan
Is this finally the moment that Canada's First Nations' civil rights revolution has genuinely begun?
In the U.S., despite a series of failed uprisings, black Americans endured slavery and segregation for centuries until the great civil rights movement of the 1960s led to unprecedented progress, though the struggle for justice and equality is far from complete even now. The history of aboriginals in Canada is a similar chronicle of injustice and discrimination, and despite repeated attempts over the decades to fight back – think Oka or Caledonia or the Lubicon – inequality and humiliation remain the daily fare for most.More »

Bruce Anderson: In 2013, Tories need to shed the biker-gang attitude
Bruce Anderson
Enough on the year that was, let's consider the things that will happen in Canadian politics in the year to come. With the epic fail of the Mayans still fresh, predictions seem foolhardy, so instead, here are three questions that bear watching.
Will the Liberal leadership show be a hit or a dud?
At the risk of sounding soft on democracy, this critical episode in the life of an important political institution is in danger of being ruined. There are too many candidates whose only claim to a piece of the stage is the $75,000 price of entry. In January the first debate will take place, with possibly up to 10 people scrunching together on stage. Unless new voting eligibility rules turn out to be a true disaster, only 3 of the 10 appear to have any chance to win: Justin Trudeau, Marc Garneau and Martha Hall Findlay.More »

Few jobs are more challenging than becoming a cabinet minister.
The learning curve is awesomely steep and must be carried out in the full glare of media and public attention. What's worse, you can be 100 per cent certain there are hordes of people who know the issues better than you ever will. And it's often the international ministries that are most intimidating for new ministers who typically may have little background in their new universe. Some – many – never make the grade.More »

Earlier this year, Toronto's medical officer of health, David McKeown, recommended that the city's speed limits be lowered to improve road safety. Here is the entire response from the Mayor of Toronto: "Nuts, nuts, nuts, nuts. No." The proposal, he declared without elaboration, was "absolutely ridiculous."

Other than news about leadership contests, it might have seemed an uneventful week in politics. But without huge fanfare, a major shift occurred, something that could have profound consequences.
The Thomas Mulcair-led NDP took another large step towards the centre of the Canadian political spectrum, when their international trade critic, Vancouver Kingsway MP Don Davies, declared that the NDP was "vigorously pro-trade."More »

For Canada's veterans, government rhetoric and policies are at war with each other
Gerald Caplan
Remembrance Day has always sent ambiguous messages to Canadians – are we celebrating the glories or the horrors of war? – but the valour of those who fought has rarely been in doubt. To the dead we could only give thanks. To the survivors, we had a debt that must be paid in full.
Given the particular devotion of the Harper government to all things militaristic, especially the heroism of the troops it dispatched to Afghanistan, it was a given that when our boys and girls came home, their every need, material and psychological, would be cared for.More »

All parties agree: Free speech is bad
Gerry Nicholls
Despite their partisan differences, the Conservatives, Liberals and NDP all seem to agree on one thing: free political speech is bad and should therefore be limited, regulated and strictly curtailed.
Indeed, three MPs – Conservative John Baird, New Democrat Pat Martin and Liberal John McKay – recently defended the need to squelch free expression.More »

In Asia, Harper displays his better side
Bruce Anderson
For much of his career in politics, Stephen Harper has been accused of having a concealed plan to bend the country to his will. His worst critics cast him as Dr. Evil, complete with Mr. Bigglesworth, but without the laughs.
As over the top as some of the attacks are, he hasn't always gone out of his way to blunt them. In the past, PMO strategy has been to treat the media with suspicion on a good day, hostility the rest of the time. Mr. Harper himself is not terribly loquacious, despite being in a business where talking is like breathing.More »

In the event that you ever forget Dronma's link, googling "time in name of country/city now" also yields links which give you the current time in the place you name. Looking at one's watch (if it is running and set properly)and comparing the two times gives the time-difference for the webcasts. Isn't the internet worderful?


text: Dina Lohan says she is not doing drugs and hates coke, and my first question to her would be how do you know you hate coke unless you have tried it? Anyway, Dina also says that Lindsay Lohan was arrested because Michael Lohan set it all up. Her proof? The victim lives only a few minutes from Michael. So, does that mean my drinking issues are related to Lindsay living just 10 minutes from me for all these years? Dina is the most ridiculous person in the entire world. I'm not exactly sure how she functions in her own little world, but I do know that if Lindsay ever does go to jail for a very long period of time that Dina will probably be forced to try and sell her children because she obviously knows no other way of making money other than exploiting them and since none of the others have shown Lindsay's talent for making money appear out of thin air, it's no wonder that Dina will always take Lindsay's side.

03/24/2011- Spring Break
Spring has sprung. The daffodils and a few tulips at my house are a cheery sight to see through the rain.
What did I do to celebrate the fist day of spring? Work on my summer calendar, of course. Nothing clears away the gloom of dark weather like making a plan for the 4th of July. The start of spring break always signals the count-down towards the summer season.
The art gallery adjacent the wine place has been filling up. I've enjoyed meeting local artists and seeing their work. We had a potluck recently and they are just as good at cooking as they are at their art! I brought wine, of course. We shared a meal, drank a few toasts, and each artist talked about their work.
These folks are not only artistic and good cooks, but they are kind souls as well. They're welcoming spring by working in the garden. I feel like I'm the non-artist that has been adopted by a family of creative types.
Sitting around the table with the artists, I did a lot of listening. I remembered when I began in the wine world and the vocabulary was unfamiliar to me. The art world has a vocabulary that is unfamiliar to me, but amongst these people was the same convival spirit of pride in their work that is at the core of the wine world.
This Saturday 3/26/11 my very favorite winemaker Sandee Piluso is my guest for tasting. Please come meet her and take a stroll through the gallery.
