I sometimes get asked if I'm not scared to go alone on the trails. Truth is I'm not. I usually go in areas used by hikers and bikers and I feel safe surrounded by them. Oh sure there could always be some crazy dude jumping on me, but I feel that the chances of that happening are about as high around my house. Heck I've never ran upon a shady business in the woods. Unlike last night when I ran with my running group, a buddy and I did the longer loop and I'm pretty much sure we came upon the end of a drug transaction in a darker street. It was really weird. There is two things I'm afraid of on the trails however: bears and snakes.
Last time I went on a long run, it rained the day before. So when I came upon what seemed like a large print on the ground, I froze. Bear or dog? Bear of dog? That little mantra came through my head. The print seemed fresh and I had no interest in following a bear, especially while running.
You see I've been in front of a bear before, during our trip to Alaska. And the things I learned were: don't stay there but don't run either. Running makes you look like a prey. Not a position you want to be into. And sure it's winter and most people will say that bears hibernate. I'll have to disagree on that one. If they've found that the Pyrenees brown bear come out in the snow, I'm pretty sure black bears are not sleeping everyday during and unseasonably warm winter.
It turns out the print I saw, while large is most likely a dog. The palm section is not big enough to be a bear as can be seen compared to a bear print I took a picture of last November.
So what do you do if you have a bear encounter. Well the first thing would actually be to prevent it:
- Stay aware of your surroundings. Don't look just 3 feet in front of you. You don't want to look up to see a bear snout in front of your face.
- Make noise while running: clapping, chanting, etc. I have done that when I ended up running in far darker conditions that expected. It also had the benefits of cheering me up. But it's not always doable when running uphill. I try to cough loudly when in doubt to announce myself.
- Run with a group. [fail]
If you come upon a bear, well there are all sorts of positions on the subject. According to the Ultimate Guide to Trail Running by Adam Chase and Nancy Hobbs one should:
- Be aggressive if it's a black bear: stand still, pick up a rock and prepare to fight. Err I'm not fighting a 300 pound furry ball. It's about 3 times my weight!
- Be calm if it's a brown or grizzly bear: don't make eye contact, speak softly, walk backwards, put calmly a jacket on the ground to distract the bear and in last resort play dead protecting your neck with your hands curled in a fetal position
I was always told to make yourself tall (mother nature made me 5'1 that's going to be tough) and do noises. I know the most dangerous encounters are a bear with cubs, and it's best to stay clear of them.
When we came upon the black bear in Alaska, it checked us out. It never stood up but we could tell it was smelling us. I'm pretty sure we did one of the no-no which was looking it in the eye. But we turned around and slowly walked away while talking to each other. While the bear followed it was on its way to somewhere else and took at some point and to our great relief a different path.
The print encounter, while a dog's made me realize that I'm pretty foolish with only a cell phone with me. I think I'm going to get a whistle to make noise and be able to direct help my way if anything was to happen, I also need to get a Road ID in case I am not responding and got forbid someone needs to call my husband.
What are your bear encounter rules? Do you carry bear spray on the trails? Did you come upon one, what did you do?

This is the same pattern as the easy baby quilt. The only difference is the added applique and I cut all the white to 2 1/2" wide in order to have a bigger quilt.
Animal pictures were taken from the fabric in the quilt and enlarged. Machine appliqued with a blanket stitch. I used thin batting under each animal to give it a puffy look.

Give the Sixers credit for keeping it close last night as the Nets had them at arms length throughout most of the contest, but this is a game the 7-6 could have had. In the end, the outcome of this game was not as important as what could be learned from it, and based on last night's action the Sixers have a lot to learn.
Jrue came out of the gate strong, attacking offensively, which was nice to see. Holiday has a knack at getting to the rim, and this skill will be extremely important to the Sixers throughout the season. If successful, Jrue's penetration will spur the offense in 2012-13, eventually leading to easy looks for Bynum in the post and open J's for the squad's newly acquired shooters. He was unable to sustain this offensive output throughout the game though.
On the bright side of last night's loss however was the play of reserve guard Maalik Wayns. Wayns looked solid, showing confidence in his shot and his own ability to run the offense. He at least looked like he could handle playing legit NBA minutes, which is a plus since back up point guard isn't one of the Sixers' strong suits.
On the defensive end the Sixers often struggled to get stops, especially at the point guard spot as Deron Williams and CJ Watson went wherever they wanted on the floor. The team was clearly in need of a defensive anchor, and luckily they have one of the best waiting in the wing in Bynum. Brook Lopez and Kris Hunphries will not be able to have the same success in the paint as they did last night with Bynum on the block.
Evan Turner largely struggled at times checking Gerald Wallace, which is troublesome and makes me wonder how he will be capable of defending some of the League's elite forwards, which he will be asked to do a lot of in Igoudala's absence.
It wasn't all bad luck in AC last night. Nick Young illustrated what he can bring to the floor, and the dude can flat out score. Like it or not he's going to be taking a lot of shots for the 7-6 this season. It's clear that he will be looked to a lot for big shots in crunch time throughout the season, and so far he always appears up to the challenge.
The team showed a lot of grit sticking out a game that they could have let go silently, and the new guys got some valuable crunch and overtime minutes.
So despite the loss, some positives were seen in AC, but there certainly are some issues to address.

The first major action game following Starship Troopers, this game was originally announced for PS2, Xbox and PC, then later was listed for only Xbox and PC, but the final game was released as a PC-exclusive title. This version of the game will not be released.
Rooted firmly in Paul Verhoeven's interpretation of Robert Heinlein's novel about an epic battle of humankind against a menacing planet of bugs (the previous game based on Starship Troopers -- an RTS from another publisher -- put more emphasis on the novel's elements), this first-person shooter has Roughnecks plowing through literally hundreds of bugs at a time in onslaught after onslaught of intense encounters. The game's advanced engine allows for well over a hundred alien creatures at a time in battle scenes to bring the hellacious bug fights to life.

Propell Announces Implementation of a 15 Well Treatment Program for Pemex in Mexico
Expects Contract to Net $375,000 of Revenue Through December 2016
HOUSTON, TX -- (Marketwired) -- 08/10/16 -- Propell Technologies Group (OTCQB: PROP) (the "Company"), a U.S. provider of enhanced oil recovery technology, announced today that it will begin a program to treat 15 wells for Pemex, Mexico's state-owned petroleum company (Petróleos Mexicanos) through the Company's partner in Mexico, Pozotech/Grupo Industrial RJP.
The Company intends to use its proprietary 3.5 inch, Gen 2 Plasma Pulse (PPT) tools to treat the 15 wells and expects to commence treatment of the first well in late August with the program running through December 2016.
Propell CEO C. Brian Boutte stated, "We're excited to move forward with Pemex and have recently completed maintenance and operational training on the Gen 2 tools for the engineering personnel of Pozotech/Grupo Industrial RJP." He added, "We expect that this initial well treatment program should net approximately $375,000 for the Company."
Propell Technologies Group, Inc. (OTCQB: PROP) is an oil exploitation and production acquisition company which intends to build and grow a base of producing assets by leveraging M&A and operational expertise, and by using advanced technology, including the Plasma Pulse technology. Its plan is to further benefit from a corresponding development of untapped hydrocarbon reserves once oil supply/demand rebalances and prices rebound. http://propell.com/

A clean, straightforward design with deep grain. Choosing wood to furnish a kitchen endows it with the full range of emotions that this material offers. Designed both to create and to receive creativity, the entire Dadacollection shares the same elegant, refined "open pore" colored finishes on wood. The "open pore" method of woodworking heightens the appearance of the wood by enhancing its grain pattern, which is unique and ever different.
Touching real wood makes you live an emotion that lasts forever. All the wood used to build this kitchen, exclusively comes from plantations, strictly in line with sustainable development and in an environmentally friendly approach for future generations. Great thickness of door and workmanlike manner in processing the wood essence allow to remarkably highlight both the wood grain and porosity. The opening mechanisms, safe and durable to last for years, ensure the highest extraction to work better and to take advantage of all the available space. The choice of using BLUM in all the opening mechanisms, arises from the need for obtaining the highest German quality for a certified safety that lasts overtime.
Designed with rhythm and contemporary alternation, SP. 22 acquires a strong identity when takes advantage of flexible geometry, achieved by combination of straight and curved lines. The handle is replaced by Gola Diva system, which does not interrupt clean lines, not preventing functionality at the same time. Sp.22 is the result of exclusive creativity, born out of a futuristic project, the main idea of which is functionality of the product, made for everyday suitability and maximum convenience. The beauty is in simplicity and elegance of the style, where design is not superfluous, exalting maximum the naturalism of the Essence, in line with design trends.
EGO is an authentic, familiar kitchen that is both accommodating and friendly. Right at fi rst glance, you'll see how Ego interprets a style that effectively harmonizes with tradition, as underscored by the combination of white and straw yellow. This synthesis of modern and classic style is made possible by the straightforward effect of clean, contemporary design.
An exclusive surface, pleasant to the touch - the aesthetic characteristics of TRANCHE', where theimperfection of the wood cut is intentionally highlighted. An extremely contemporary offer, which conceals the culture and flavour of tradition. IRIDE, a union of modernity and tradition, in the new TACTILE OAK finishes. The effect of freshly cut TRANCHE' bestows a coarse texture, which is also precious in terms of expressing the strong character of the wood. Material aesthetics give rise to novel feelings which incorporate memories.
The kitchen becomes a true and genuine geometric ideal, a technological entity, with individual personality, securing a central role within the home, ensuring timeless emotion. Seduced by details such as the purposely omitted external handle, for a cleaner and more accurate design. Every kitchen is a system providing functions which it is able to satisfy. A suitable space is needed for each of these. Selecting with care allows you to organise the kitchen perfectly according to individual style, to enjoy a kitchen with the very best in terms of USER-FRIENDLINESS.
The identity of Diamante is expressed by the freedom to mix antique sensations with modern elements, fashion of classic style and sobriety of forms and proportion, typical of our times. The door clew where is set the handless door opening, comes from a real wood oak frame with different wooden colours. Decorative elements all around create unique furniture elements, actual and not permeable to the transient style.
Many are the distintive elements of Milano. The elegance of this creation is remarqued from the thousand details and from the flavour taht release.
Three varieties of Timo model: Timo Plus, Timo Wood and Timo Evolution represent the evolution of the kitchen without handles through the creation of curved elemets, tall units with groove and new details that allow a greater designing freedoom and more and more personalized solutions.
A minimalist and professional configuration obtained through the purity of lines and the technologic nature of Capri. The huge thickness door is the exponent of the modern kitchen character which is a Biefbi exclusive design, where the opening is designed by two pure vertical lines. The wood is pleasing to the touch; elegant and refined in colours.

Was the recent drafting of quarterback Kevin Kolb a sign that the Philadelphia Eagles might trade Donovan McNabb before the 2007 season?
That's one theory, anyway. As for a possible destination, the Chicago Bears are ready to win the Super Bowl. They might have won it last year except for a glaring weakness at quarterback.
The key to this scenario is Bears linebacker Lance Briggs, who has said publicly that he will never play for Chicago again and who refused to report to minicamp on Friday.
Briggs is, arguably, the best weakside linebacker in the game and is only 26. He could help Philly rebuild its defense while Kolb gets ready to take control of the offense.

Ubuntu Server 12.04 xrdp failed to load session 'ubuntu'
This error is caused by xrdp trying to run the classic Ubuntu desktop when it is not installed. This can happen when you install Ubuntu server without graphical environment and then install gnome-classic desktop only.
There are 2 files you need to worry about:
which should have:
. /etc/X11/Xsession
at the end.
(there is a space between '.' and '/etc')
and ~/.xsession
(Don't worry if there isn't – it just means you haven't created it yet)
This file should have:
gnome-session --session=gnome-classic
restart xrdp with:
/etc/init.d/xrdp restart

The script startwm.sh does little more than executes /etc/X11/Xsession. Executing that file directly yields in the same gnome session error. The fix is for example to replace this last line in startwm.sh with line:
My screept is:
/etc/xrdp# cat startwm.sh

export LANG LANGUAGE

text: DigitalSmash Hit: Break glass to survive on iOS, AndroidBy Brandy Shaul|March 6, 2014 ShareBy Brandy Shaul|March 6, 2014 ShareSprinkle developer Mediocre has announced the release of its newest game on iOS and Android devices, Smash Hit. The survival game challenges players to break as many types and pieces of glass as possible to progress, and offers 50 rooms and 11 different art styles at launch. Each room connects to the next, allowing players to complete as many rooms as they can before running out of shots.In Smash Hit, players move through the world automatically, in a first-person perspective. Players tap on glass objects to aim and throw balls at them, with crystals rewarding players with three extra shots when hit. Other glass pieces serve as obstacles or locks to doors, and must be destroyed before the screen runs into them. Players lose shots when hitting obstacles, greatly reducing the final distance they can travel.Over time, players will come across power-ups, which may offer unlimited shots to players for a short amount of time. These powers can be saved in the menu until they're most needed. The game's movement speed also increases as players clear more rooms in a single game.As players clear rooms, they're given checkpoints at which they can start their next game. Both progress within the world and amount of remaining shots are saved at these checkpoints, so players can choose to ignore them, in order to start the game over again with a better supply of ammunition.On iOS, Smash Hit supports Game Center for an achievement system and tracking progress on leaderboards, as well as iCloud support for synced progress across devices.Smash Hit is now available to download for free on iOS and Google Play. Check back soon to follow the game on AppData, our tracking platform for mobile and social apps and developers. Sharehttp://adweek.it/2jJxSCB copy Adweek Adweek

There is a real connection between stress and illness, which is why it's important to take it easy this holiday season. Don't get caught up in the stress of finding the perfect gift or creating the ultimate light display. Enjoy the season instead of driving yourself crazy. Use these eight tips to keep you healthy while enjoying the holiday festivities!
- Stick to it. Stick to your regular exercise routine as much as possible, especially during the holidays.
- Take advantage of layovers. Flying? Don't sit around waiting to board your flight – walk around the airport.
- Let the music move you. Dance or exercise to your favorite holiday music.
- Get 15 minutes of sun each day. It peeks out, we promise!
- Choose fresh fruit in lieu of fruit cake.
- Delegate. Delegate wrapping presents or baking. No one to delegate to? Opt out of the least important tasks.
- Just say "Ho Ho No!" to perfectionism. No one expects you to be Martha Stewart.
- Carry it over. Make a New Year's resolution with friends to start a daily walking group.

Oct 30, 2012
NEW YORK – Sandy, one of the biggest storms ever to hit the United States, battered the nation's eastern seaboard on Tuesday, swamping New York City streets with record levels of floodwater, blacking out power to millions of people and bringing transportation to a halt through much of the region.
At least 13 people were reported killed in the United States by Sandy, which dropped just below hurricane status before going ashore in New Jersey on Monday, according to officials and media reports. More than 1 million people across a dozen states were under orders to evacuate as the massive system continued to plow westward.
One disaster forecasting company predicted economic losses could ultimately reach $20 billion, only half insured.
The storm also slowed the presidential campaign at a key time ahead of next week's vote and closed US markets for two days.

That got your attention. It isn't true—or, at least we don't know if it's true. Antibiotics probably don't make you fat.
Today CDDEP is excited to release a new video on antibiotic resistance: Unstoppable Superbugs: Closer Than We Think?
Currently, antibiotic-resistant infections contribute to 99,000 deaths each year in the U.S., and the problem is getting worse. So what can the concerned public do to help? As it turns out, there's a lot we can do.
A number of Extending the Cure studies have highlighted the changing epidemiology of methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA): first, we noted the emergence of community strains (CA-MRSA) and their move into hospitals, where they added to the existing burden of healthcare-associated strains (HA-MRSA).
The following post by Dr. Daniel J. Morgan, an infectious disease physician at the University of Maryland Medical Center and a staff physician at the Baltimore VA Medical Center, originally appeared on KevinMD.
The latest Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) by the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) addresses the emerging threat of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE). The MMWR, featuring a contribution from CDDEP researchers, reports on the rising prevalence of CREs in US health care facilities and stresses the need for increased surveillance and "a broader, multi-institutional or regional approach" to prevent and control infections.
The growth of MRSA-related hospitalizations was stagnant between 2005 and 2009; Community-associated infections peak in the summer, likely due to seasonal antibiotic overuse.

With the City Council speaker, Christine C. Quinn, courting business leaders as she prepares to run for mayor, Bill de Blasio, the public advocate and one of her chief rivals, has thrown his support behind a much-disputed bill that would increase wages for workers in city-subsidized development projects — a move that could force Ms. Quinn to take a position on the issue.
In a letter that he sent to both Ms. Quinn and Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg on Sunday evening, Mr. de Blasio wrote that New York City was not doing enough to expand economic opportunities and that the so-called living wage bill represented an "immediate and important" step the city could take.
"The desperate state of New York City's middle class, the experience of other localities, and improvements made to the bill in recent months have collectively convinced me that the time has come to pass a living wage bill that uses the power of our economic development dollars to reduce income inequality," Mr. de Blasio wrote in the letter.
The legislation would require that employees who work in projects that receive aid from the city be paid at least $10 an hour with benefits, or $11.50 an hour without benefits. The state minimum wage is $7.25 an hour.
The bill is supported by a majority of the City Council, as well as by labor unions and members of the clergy, but opposed by business groups and by Mr. Bloomberg. Ms. Quinn, who can effectively kill legislation by not bringing it to a vote, has not said if she supports the measure.Continue reading the main story
The wage debate has put her in something of a political vise. She began her career as a housing advocate, but as she prepares a mayoral campaign, she has tried to convince leaders of the business community that she will be a centrist, pro-business mayor in the mold of Mr. Bloomberg.
In a statement late Sunday night, Jamie McShane, a spokesman for Ms. Quinn said, "We've received the public advocate's letter late this evening. We're going to review it and we appreciate his input."
Apart from John C. Liu, the city comptroller, whose mayoral prospects are seen as having been dimmed by an investigation into his fund-raising practices, Mr. de Blasio is the only one of Ms. Quinn's likely Democratic primary opponents so far to come out in favor of the wage bill.
In an interview, he said he was swayed not by political calculus, but by discussions over two months with both advocates and opponents of the measure. Among the things that struck him most, he said, was that opponents did not offer any ideas on how to address income inequality. The wage measure, while imperfect, at least represented a step in that direction, he added.
Mr. de Blasio in the letter did urge one change to the bill — increasing the amount of annual revenue, from $5 million, that a business must earn to cause the requirement to kick in. That, he said, would protect smaller businesses.
In recent weeks, two powerful labor unions, 1199 SEIU, which represents health care workers, and the New York Hotel and Motel Trades Council, have expressed support.
Ms. Quinn held a hearing last month on the bill, but has not yet scheduled a final hearing or a vote.
"I think it's time to move it forward," Mr. de Blasio said.
An article in some editions on Monday about a decision by the New York City public advocate, Bill de Blasio, to support the so-called living wage bill before the City Council erroneously included an organization among those that supported it. The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York has not taken a position on the bill.

October was a big, sunny month at Netafim USA, specifically at our drip irrigation systems manufacturing facility in Fresno. It was the month in which we went live with our new 680 KW solar array, delivering up to 1,000 MWH per year, around 10% of the total power requirements of our Fresno site. This would be equivalent to supplying power to 170 average homes in California. The solar array is located on the roof or our manufacturing site and distribution center, and expects to pick up close to 5.5 hours of sunshine each day on average.
Making use of the sun's natural energy, reducing our dependence on fossil fuels, is another step forward for Netafim in our commitment to sustainable business and a sustainable planet. As world leaders in drip irrigation, we are already keenly aware of the interplay between water, land, energy and food, and our mission has always been to help farmers around the world to Grow More With Less. Now, at Fresno, we can Manufacture More With Less: more dripperlines with less fuel, generating fewer greenhouse gas emissions – contributing to the advancement of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 13. We are happy to join the efforts of governments and companies all around the world to further progress against this goal.
Installing a large solar array was not without its challenges. We had to prepare the roof of our site to ensure its robustness to carry the weight of the solar panels and ensure all other facilities were in place to conduct the solar power to our facility. We had to learn about the complexities of the solar panel business, in order to ensure we select the right system for our requirements. Finally, on October 5, 2016, we flipped the switch. It was a sunny day indeed for Netafim and for our sustainable future.

It looks like a better 3D version of the old Nintendo console game with Homworld like tactical combat on a strategic map similar to StarTrek Armada or Galactic Civilization.
I dunno but I don't think it has real resource management as those strategic game.
It sells for 9240 yen (92$)
Edit: Main game site.
- Spoiler:
If you are interested then go on.
Source site. (took a while to find; read closely!)
Edit: How to install:
- Spoiler:
Note: If you install under a western system you will see an english text for Windows Live profile registration after starting the game for the first time.
You will need about 2.5 GByte free space to install it. The installer is very notorious and tells you that you need 2GBytes. I had 2.7GB but windows ate up a gig and I had to free another 2GB until it worked. The installer itself needs 2-300MB but free them up after it's done. (I hate Windows!)
Start the installer and you will see a typical windows-program installation.
Click on the button in the middle which has an '(N)' for next.
You will see the license notice. Now mark the top choice and click on next.
You get to choose standard (top) or custom (bottom) installation.
Choose custom if you want to install in a certain directory or folder.
Click on next.
You will be asked for your key.
Type your key in and the left button turns on, click on it.
If the next button is still there click on it or just wait and it will tell you that you don't have enough space. In this case click on the right button to cancel and free more space.
After you start the game you are required to create a Windows Live profile within the game.
Click on the top button to create on, type your player name etc.
If it fails the game will exit. Start it again and try again.

With elements from "Creep Show," "The Twilight Zone," "Alfred Hitchcock Presents," and "Tales from the Crypt," "Sanitarium" explores the different narratives of the insane patients – tales which led to their crazed states of minds. These accounts reflect hallucinations, imaginary voices, and altered realities, and include themes of the paranormal, the unexplainable, and the mystical.

Barcelona as a city has everything to offer. It's no surprise that there are as well numerous options for day trips from Barcelona. From great food, ground breaking architecture to snowboarding in winter and beach volleyball in summer.
I was born in Barcelona and I know this Mediterranean pearl like no other city.
Me and my friends love to jump in the car to spend a weekend out of the city.
I have spent summers and winters snowboarding in the Pyrenees, jumping from cliffs into the sea, lakes and rivers, and much more.
One Week In Barcelona is the perfect amount of time to get to know the city AND surroundings.
You will find many articles such as:
- Barcelona for couples
- best places to eat in Barcelona
- design coffee places in Barcelona
With the Costa Brava in the North and cool things to do in the south, there are so many opportunities for day excursions.
Also, here is a big list of 18 luxury things to do in Barcelona and the one and only Lonely Planet Barcelona – up to date!
Therefore, I dedicated this full article only to cool day trips you can take from Barcelona.
And if you wanna have a blast in Barcelona, here is a full list of fun things to do in Barcelona.
So, let us have a close look on these tours to enjoy a weekend or a few days away for the hustle and bustle.
Pack your beach towel, put on your best travel shoes and hit the road.
Turn on the music (check out our travel songs compilation), and…
Enjoy your trip!
1. Montserrat Mountain and Monastery
The Montserrat Mountain is a multi-peaked mountain, only a 1-hour train ride away.
This is a perfect activity for a day outside the city for every hiker and nature lover. The monastery at Montserrat Mountain is also worth it to visit.
There is a black Madonna you can visit – impressive stuff.
You can either take the cable car for going up the mountain or hike up.
There are day trips leaving from Barcelona to Montserrat – we recommend booking with BCN Travel, our trusted tour agency we always chose in Barcelona.
Viator also offers tours.
How to get here?
Check out the our full article on how to get to the Montserrat Monastery here.
The train leaves from Plaza Espanya, and your final train stop is Manresa.
2. Sitges (Beach and Restaurants)
Another great day trip is going to Sitges. The village is a popular, small beach destination in the south. Sitges is especially known for its carnival and is popular in the LGTB community.
There is a few nude beaches. In general, Sitges is great for beaches and nightlife.
You can come here by train.
There are different events happening in Sitges such as the Sitges Film Festival in October and the Sitges Carnival in February.
Check out the schedule for the Train to Sitges.
You can also come here by car and scooter/ motorbike.
We recommend renting a Red Vespa. The road along the coast is beautiful, absolutely memorable. Experience in driving is recommended, though.
3. Tarragona (Colosseum and Old Town)
Even more south, you find Tarragona.
Back in the days of the Roman empire, Tarragona was more important than Barna. Today, you can visit a well-preserved Colosseum, a lovely, smallish town with own beaches.
Those beaches are also worth it to pay a visit.
Even better if you plan your visit in Tarragona during the Tarraco Viva festival.
Then you will experience yourself how the Roman life was.
Reaching Tarragona is very simple, you just need to take a train from Estacio de Sants.
Check out how to get around Barcelona, arrive at the train station, and enjoy the ride!
4. Waikiki Beach next to Tarragona (Cala Fonda)
Talking about beaches next to Tarragona, there is the magical Waikiki Beach. For me, this is the most beautiful beach in the area of Barcelona.
The official name of Waikiki Beach is Cala Fonda. However, the locals call it Waikiki Beach.
It requires some hiking to get here. There are no shops or beach bars nearby. And since it is a bit of a hassle to get here, you won't find a super crowded beach.
Make sure you bring enough water and an umbrella.
How to get to Waikiki Beach in Tarragona?
We wrote an article about how to get to Waikiki Beach Tarragona from Barcelona.
Another advantage here: The sea is very shallow here. It is great for playing with a water ball and to swim with kids.
5. Horta de Sant Joan
Have you ever heard of Canyoning?
In Horta de Sant Joan you can do just that.
And kayaking, riding a bike…
Horta de Sant Joan is a tiny village at the edge of Catalonia. It takes you 2-3 hours by car to get here, and you can slide down a river canyon.
When it comes to activities around Catalonia, of course, there are as well lots of cool sports activities to join, no surprise, right?!
Here is our video from the canyoning experience in Horta de Sant Joan:
6. Girona ("you know nothing, John Snow")
Game of Thrones anyone? Anyway, Gerona is the small hidden pearl up in the north of Barcelona. It is a medieval town to visit, and absolutely worth it. You can get lost in the old town, visit chic cafés, and eat very, very well!
You can either book a day trip to Gerona or take the direct train to Gerona.
Here you can find more tours to Girona and Figueres. Starting from $90.
There is also an Airport Gerona, which connects you directly with Costa Brava.
Talking about…
7. Costa Brava in General
Whilst we are exploring the coast for excursions from Barcelona, we should say something general here.
Costa Brava is an incredibly beautiful coast line in the North of Catalonia. The best part: Only a few parts are loaded with tourists, and that only in July and August.
The very firsts town of the magical Costa Brava is only a 1-hour ride from Barcelona. It is the city of Blanes. The Costa Brava has everything from touristic hot-spots, adventurous activities, diving, skydiving, kayaking, cliff jumping…or simply getting a nice color at the beach!
You can find day trips to the Costa Brava here. Starting from $100 (95€).
Personally, we recommend renting a car to get to Costa Brava. It is faster, affordable and you can visit more places.
Let us give you some examples of great towns along the Costa Brava coast line.
8. Sant Feliu de Giuxols
A small village with a wide beach, harbor and history. Sant Feliu de Guixols is a great choice! Especially in summer time there are plenty of events going on.
Here you can find more things to do in Sant Feliu de Guixols.
9. Blanes (by train)
The easiest way to get to Costa Brava without a car is Blanes. There is a direct train leaving from Barcelona to Blanes. When you arrive with the train in Blanes, you will need to take a bus or taxi to the village itself. You can also walk, which takes around 20 minutes.
It is the very first village at the Costa Brava.
It has a beautiful old town and a wonderful beach to hang out. The coastline itself is unique as they have a small peninsula.
For a view all over the town, you can go up all the way to the old castle. It's quite a way to get up here, but certainly worth it.
10. Lloret de Mar (for Nightlife)
Feel like partying?
Lloret de Mar is famous for being a party town on a budget.
Many schools organize their very last students trip to Lloret de Mar. So if you are looking for organizing a hen party, stag party or simple want to party, go to Lorret de Mar!
But don't be fooled, there is more than its nightlife.
Although it can get really busy here and quite crazy, the beaches around the city are gorgeous. Just keep walking either south or north – it will be worth it.
Truth the told: Lloret de Mar itself is not really beautiful. Seriously, it is not. If you prefer a scenic, beautiful village on the coast, hop over to Pals and Tossa de Mar.
11. Aquatic Park in Lloret de Mar
The old fisher town of Lloret de Mar also has its own water park.
I went here the first time when I was 12, I had a blast. It is a great day trip fro families, and friends alike.
For a booking, we recommend checking out their website at Water World. There they offer many different types of promotions.
Vols gaudir el doble?? Doncs amb la promoció "2 parcs, Doble diversió quan vinguis a Water World t'emportaràs una entrada per la cara per l'@aquadiverparc a Platja d'Aro. #waterworldlloret #waterparc #lloretdemar #lloret #viulloret #costabrava #watermountain #fun #double #promotion #enjoy #friends #amazing #ride #summer #july #goodvibes #goodtimes #picoftheday #fotodeldia #instagood #instalike
12. Tossa de Mar
A beauty, I already mentioned this.
And many people refer it as the most beautiful town at the Costa Brava. The beach is quite small. So keep walking and climb up the steep way to the tower. There are many small(er) beaches around Tossa de Mar.
People say Tossa de Mar is a very romantic city. I agree here.
Take into account that Tossa de Mar is a small village. In August and high season it feels really packed.
For more romantic ideas to surprise your partner, you can check out our romantic things to do in Barcelona.

13. Calella de Mar
A bouncing castle in the ocean?
OH yes, in Calella you can do just that…and hang out at the looming beach.
Unfortunately we have no photo because we were having fun all day long and forgot the camera. Our advice: don't forget yours!
Many areas along the coast line set up their own bouncing castle in the water. They are only there during summer. The last one we have seen were in Calella de Mar and Pals del Mar. Take this into account.
14. Cliff jumping, beach and (the best) paella in Pals
If you ask us:
"What's your favorite day trip from Barcelona?"
We will always reply: "PALS!"
Pals is a small, medieval town, only a few km away from the coast. During the day you can kick-back at the beach. The beach in Pals is wide and long, and there are several restaurants around.
However, here is the kicker: We recommend walking over to the beach of Illa Roja (check out the map!).
It is actually a nudist beach, but this is totally optional, not mandatory. There are several different cliffs to jump from in the ocean. Brave enough?
Even if you do not want to jump by your own, it is still exciting to see the different people enjoying the 4-5 meter jump in the sea.
Later you can walk through the tiny city center of Pals. There are several great restaurants and a few souvenir shops to explore. If you fancy a stunning Paella, then head over to the Restaurant Bona Vista.
We PROMISE you, their Paella is an absolute dream!
15. Via Verde Bike Tour
Via Verde is a famous road to take with the bicycle and it takes you along scenic landscapes.
From Horta de Sant Joan towards to ocean, you can find an easy ride, perfect for beginners and families. Here is a website dedciated to the Via Verde.
We joined this activity with a bunch of friends. Here is our video from Via Verde:
16. PortAventura in Salou
Portaventura in Salou is the biggest theme park in Spain. Oh oh oh, this is PURE FUN!!!
They have everything from roaler coasters, its own water park, a ferrari world, a big area only for children and families, you name it.
If you want to have an amazing day with the whole family, make it Portaventura.
My best tip would be to come here during the week, if possible. The weekends are usually more packed. If you happen to come here during the weekend or a busy day, you can purchase a so-called VIP Ticket. With this ticket you can skip the lines for roaler coastes and more.
How to get to PortAventura frmo Barcelona?
You can come here by direct train from Barcelona, or as well with your car. There is many parking places right in front of the park.
Find all possibilities and tickets for Portaventura here.
Also good to know: PortAventura runs special events like Halloween.
17. Delta de L'Ebre
A natural park just 3 hours from Barcelona with thousands of different birds species like pink Flamingos. There are also rice fields and beaches.
Perfect for a bike trip, as everything around is flat.
You can just spend your day at the beach, practice some sports ( this area is well known among kite-surfers), or enjoy the gastronomy, really tasty!
18. Garrotxa/ Olot Vulcano
The area around Garrotxa and Olot is famous for its Volcano. This area is North of Barcelona.
Perfect for hikers, and loves of nature! It is best and easiest to reach by car.
And even better if you go during autumn. This area has so many colors during autumn season!
It is quite tricky to come here by train though.
19. Mataro (Paella and Beach)
Fancy a less-crowded beach, and a fantastic paella restaurant next to it?
Mataro is the place to be.
It is close and easy to reach by train.
The beach and the recommended restaurant for Paella is just a 5 minutes walk from Mataró train station.
For the paella, we recommend to head over to Can Margarit in Mataro. Of course we also cover our favorite restaurants in Barcelona itself. Don't miss 'em out!
20. Bike Tour up to Mataro (or any other town along the coast)
Actually, we live bike tours. You can rent a bike in the city and ride along the coast up to Mataro – or any other town along the way.
The trail is all at the coast, starting from Badalona.
We recommend taking the train with the bikes (you can take them for free with the train!), until Badalona. Get off here and start your trip from here.
If you need to rent a bike, check out our guide on how to get around Barcelona.
21. Pyrenees Skiing Grandvalira
When Barcelonis local say "you can do everything in Barcelona", they included as well skiing and snowboarding.
Just drive up to the Pyrenees, and there are numerous of ski resorts you can pick.
For Andorra, we recommend going to Grandvalira, Andorra.
22. Zombie Walk in Sitges
Dress up in your scariest outfit, and you still won't fit the Zombie walk…most likely!
Many locals, especially teenagers, dress up in the most creative, and scariest Zombie and horror outfits ever, and do the Zombie walk.
Here you can find more details on schedules, and background info about the Zombie Walk in Sitges.
23. The 7 Waterfalls of Campdevanol
Pack your hiking boots and some picnic equipment.
And your swim shorts/ bikini. We will need all of it! The 7 Waterfalls of Campdevanol are just a 1 1/2 hour car ride away from Barcelona. The water from the waterfalls and the small lakes comes right from the top of the mountain. It is super fresh and cold.
Seriously, COOOOOLD!!!
The best part: Once you get out of the water, you will feel reborn. It is best to reach by car!
Mr. Google knows all about the 7 Waterfalls in Campdebanol.
24. Calcotada in Vilafranca de Penedès
Yay, let's burn some onions, dip them into a red-orangy sauce, and eat them!
The calcotada experience is certainly one of the most local things to do in Barcelona, and Catalunya.
In Vilafranca del Penedes, there are many beautiful, traditional Catalan houses, called "Masia" with Menus.
Take the train, walk to a Wine Cellar and ask for the menus.
Have a good meal!
25. Wine Tasting in Penedes
Wine lovers, listen up, this one is for you!
Penedes is the perfect spot for an activity aka. tour to get lost in wineries and wine tastings.
We aren't your parents, but we say it anyway: Don't drink and drive. There is a direct train connection from Barcelona-Penedes anyway!
More about Wine Tasting in Penedes here.
26. Feel like Tarzan in Bosque Vertical
Ziplines, swing ropes, hanging bridges…
Everything in a safe mode!
There are two different high-ropes parks we personally tested around Barcelona where you can feel like Tarzan.

Parc de Dosrius and Parc de Mataro: www.boscvertical.com/es/que-es
Bosc Urba in Barcelona: www.barcelonaboscurba.com
27. Ski Diving in Empuria Brava
Ski Diving in Empuria Brava, and the sky is the limit. There is not really anything to add here, is there?
Jump out of a plane, overlooking Costa Brava!

The school offers formation skydiving courses for beginners and advanced students, freefly canopy, wingsuit flying (or wingsuiting), formation skydiving for top competition, training for top competition, and flight instruction for professionals.
28. Kayaking in Las islas medas
We love kayaking!
You can join different Kayaking tours around Catalonia as activities. Alternatively, you can get your own kayak and hit the waves.
Either way, it is a great way to get around, and to get a different point of view.
Our recommendation: Prepare yourself a picnic with some food and drinks.
The Kayaking tour can rent you as well a waterproofed bag.
Along your tour, you can stop at the smallest beaches and have your lunch there.
Or maybe even directly at the Islas Medas?
29. Besalu and Castellfollit de la Roca
Besalu is actually quite known, and their photos are used all over Catalonia.
Their bridge is famous, and quite a few tourists come here. And it is worth it!
Less known on the other hand is Castellfollit de la Roca.
It is a tiny village, sitting at the edge of a cliff – BOOYA!
30. Kitesurfing and meeting Messi
Do you love kitesurfing or wanna try it out?
The long and wide beach in Casteldelfels is the place you can do just that.
Bare in mind, there is usually a time where Kitesurfing is not allowed, most likely from June to September.
This can change from year to year.
And what about meeting Messi?
Messi lives around here, and if you are really, really lucky, you can meet him walking at the beach.
31. Padel Surfing – everywhere!
Along the coastline, there are plenty of shops offering padel surf.
And actually, you can also do it right at the city beach.
Anyway, always nice to have an excuse for a day trip, right?
You can check out Padel Surf Courses in Barcelona here.
32. Olympic Park in Casteldelfels
Pure fun!
The Olympic park in Casteldelfels offers different water sports activities including kayaking, water bounce castle, and cable ski.
The cable ski is one of the longest ones in Europe, and many championship winner love to come here.
Next to the cable ski, there is a cool bar with music, tapas, and drinks.
So when your friends are hitting the waves, you can lean back, take a sip, and watch them flying over the water.
33. Camino de Ronda – Hiking Costa Brava
The Camino de Ronda is the hiking trail from the border of France all the way down to Blanes.
Blanes, this is the first town in the south of Costa Brava.
Our recommendation: Bring some good sports shoes, lots of water and sun cream. There are different trails you can walk along. So different, so beautiful. Have a look at do get an idea of the Camino de Ronda.
A great website and resource for Camino de Ronda is this one by Xavier Blanca Fort. It is in Catalan though and filled with maps and photos.

Perceptor to Appear in Transformers 3?
Posted by:Perceptor at 2010-08-02 12:25 am
Nelson, administrator on Michael Bay's blog has dropped a few hints about the mysterious blue Mercedes seen in scenes of filming TF3 in Chicago. Specifically, he has revealed:
"The blue Mercedes is not Jolt."
"The blue Mercedes is not Jolt."
Photos of the mystery smart bot can be seen here, here and here on thescorecardreview.com. See Albert Einstein himself on wikipedia.org and judge the comparison for yourself!
Now, considering the level of similarity between, G1 Ironhide and his movie counterpart; I ask you: If they're going to make a super-smart "Einstein-looking bot" who do imagine it'll be? Of course, my first guess would be Perceptor. But I am admittedly a little bias!
Oh and in case you're wondering, the "Q" designation on his site is just movie maker code. In response to one perons asking if the character is Q or Hi-Q, Nelson said, "I mean, my Bumblebee poster has "G" on the title, are they going to assume Bumblebee is now "G?" ... So yeah, the character name is not "Q."

These days, many businesses have realized that just having a website is not enough, you need to have a social media presence like on Twitter or Facebook, and then start capitalizing from it. If your company still doesn't have a account on social media site like facebook,twitter and Google Plus page, , then it's time that you get one, otherwise your business will fall behind.
Still not convinced? Well here are six good reasons from which you can start earning.
You See Your Target Market
When you build a social media presence you get to see your target market close and personally. The part that makes social media marketing cool through Facebook and Twitter is the interaction you get to have with the customers. You can message them and speak with them personally, read their tweets and tweet them back.
You Can Respond To Their Queries
If there is a problem with the service or the product you will want to know instantly about it. With the feedback that you generate from the social media portals you can instantly know whether the client is happy with the product or service, or it needs some changes. Study shows that social media is the best means of communication between the client and the company.
Your Competitior Is Going Crazy On Social Media
Have you heard of the phrase early bird catches the worm, the sooner you realize that you need to hit the social media pages the better it is for your business, because your competitor is Facebooking and Tweeting like crazy. The sooner you make your presence online the better it is the later you do it, it will cause you more money and will require hard work to catch up with others.
People Are Receptive
People don't consider Facebook and Twitter as marketing tools, they consider as social media network. As a result this means they don't see your post as an advertisement they see it as a way of interaction that what you got to say.
Social Media Will Get You More Sales
Always remember when you stay right in front of your customers they are more likely to buy from you what you are selling. Social media not only keeps the name of your business in front of the potential buyer it also offers them an opportunity to sell their products or services. Try to post discount deals or coupon codes only for those who are in your fan following or have liked your page and you will be surprised by the feedback you get.
Potential Customers
You will find potential customers who you think never existed. In the process of marketing with the social media you will come across thousands of groups related to your business industry. By joining these groups you can post links to your services and products to attract your potential customers.

Asleep on the Terrorist Watch

It was just as frightening, and in its own way even more infuriating, than the almost successful attempt to blow up Northwest Flight 253 as it approached Detroit on Christmas Day. I'm talking about the wholly unacceptable comment/excuse offered by this country's secretary of supposed Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano: "I think the important thing to recognize here is that once this incident occurred, everything happened as it should have."

text: >I didn't say that. A T. rex bite should be just as deadly on a hadrosaur.< I remember a statement to the effect of Tyrannosaurus not wanting to prey on ceratopsians because of their horns, and a refutation of unhealed bite wounds on a Triceratops specimen showing that they were not preyed upon. >I didn't say that; there is proof that tyrannosaurs ate juvenile hadrosaurs but not hatchlings.< Not sure what the proof is, but I would agree that they'd go after juveniles over infants. >I pointed to the absence of tyrannosaur teeth at hadrosaur nests as evidence that tyrannosaurs didn't attack the nests or adult hadrosaurs didn't fight back.< At Egg Mountain in '98, I found an tyrannosaur tooth about 20cm away from a nest site. >Some NA titanosaur armor has been reported;< Reference please? >in any case Alamosaurus was far more massive than Tyrannosaurus and may not have needed it-although the ability to survive is not the same as invulnerability< Of course; nothing is ever truly "invulnerable". But you can get pretty close to it by being too big to be preferentially preyed upon. >Do zebra and wildebeest herds regularly fight lions or flee, fighting as a last resort?< But they do fight, and fight pretty well, regardless of time during the hunt. Hence the "equation" I had in the previous post Size+Herding=Good Defense. I mention neither flight or fight in this equation. >But T. rex initially represented a new and more effective predator, and several Edmontonian herbivores evidently could not survive alongside it< Maybe this is my biggest issue here: if Tyrannosaurus evolved in isolation, or was introduced into NA from someplace else, I can see a population being negatively effected. But, I see no evidence from my knowledge of paleogeography, of any isolated areas where T. rex could evolve, without hadrosaurs, and then "reinvade" the rest of North America/the northern hemisphere. >Including lions.< Yes, including lions, although they have litters between 2-6, whereas Zebra and wildebeest have usually 1 offspring per cow. >Or Edmontosaurus and lambeosaurs. There is a nice illustration on page 338 of THE COMPLETE DINOSAUR.< I was trying to compare generally contemporaneous animals, but none the less I'd be interested to see this illustration. I don't have access to this book. Can someone send a scan? >I'll say.< But you don't provide a reference, only derisive comments. I'll refer you to HP Leahy's post, which I quote below here: "In Gregory Erickson's chapter in The Scientific American Book of Dinosaurs, he notes that bite marks are significantly more common on hadrosaurs than ceratopsians, and that ankylosaur remains show no evidence of bite marks." So perhaps I'm not as ill-informed as you may think. >What other factor(s)? Didn't I already address your suggestion that hadrosaurine competition was responsible?< You dismissed it, citing that they had different feeding heights (which I'm not sure there's much evidence for). Factors could include famine, disease, competition for food/space/water, decreasing gene pool, hyperspecialization (which leads animals to be less able to adapt), among others. All of which are about as testable as your hypothesis. >I just got the impression that the Hell Creek lambeosaur report may not stand up.< I got the impression that we shouldn't discuss it until its been fully published.

Anthem Breach: How Hackers Stole Credentials and Why Two-Factor Authentication May Help Prevent Future Phishing Scams

If the Anthem attack was carried out as the result of using a single password, their access security wasn't up to industry standards. Two-factor authentication may have thwarted attacks by requiring the use of a personal device to verify the identity of a system administrator or other technical employee with access to their database of millions of sensitive records.

Happy Hinamatsuri! I made new baby dresses for the twins for the occasion. (Hinamatsuri was yesterday.) Hinamatsuri is a Japanese holiday that celebrates girls. I made the dresses inspired by the traditional Hinamatsuri sweet, hishimochi, which is three layers of pink, white and green.
The dresses were made using Oliver and S' Family Reunion Dress pattern. I was really happy with this pattern! It's the second I've made from this company and so far my favorite. I loved that you didn't have to handsew the hem of the dresses, instead there's 5 lovely bands of topstitching. They had lots of tips for making the dresses look clean and beautiful which I mostly followed and I really liked the pintucks, the shape of the dress and the lovely collars. I followed the pattern pretty closely except I added the contrast green band at the bottom by using the "shirt version" of the pattern as a guide. All the fabrics and supplies (except a small 3/4 yard bought on 50% sale) were stash fabrics! Go me! These dresses are 6-12 month size and my girls are 5 months old, so the dresses are a little big for them. The last time I made a dress for them they barely got to wear it before they outgrew it, so this is better.
The flower headbands were a sweet gift from Sarah! I love them! If you like them, you can buy some on her etsy page!
The gold screen and the lanterns behind them are actually meant for a large Hinamatsuri doll set. I bought them years ago on ebay, but they're perfect for baby photos, too, right?

Generally, when applying for Guardianship of someone, you have been through a recent life-changing event. Emotions run high, and the legal system can be confusing and complicated. At the Law Office of Sarah J. Michael, we offer several options to help meet your needs and budget.
There are two different guardianships available for children in Arizona. They are commonly referred to as Title 8 or Title 14 guardianships, named for the titles under which they are found in the Arizona Revised Statutes. Guardianships are used to provide legal authority of a child or children, while parental rights remain intact. We represent Guardians, parents, and children in these proceedings, and can guide you through the selection of which guardianship you need, filing all of the necessary documents, and representation at hearings.
