Re: 25-0-40 DownUnder to UpOver - LEH'd 2013
Well, lets just say i dont like driving too fast since i feel i might lose control. So i drive at a speed where i am confident. The only plus points in my driving are that i drive slow anywhere, anytime much to the annoyance of my elder brother who says i could bump the speed a notch or two but still drive sedately.

Re: 25-0-40 DownUnder to UpOver - LEH'd 2013
Finally I have been able to go through the entire thread. Previously I had read the first page and was itching to come back to read the rest, but was not able to take out the time. Awesome narration and great pictures. I have always wanted to do a drive with 3 or 4 cars for 5000 + kilometers, but have not been able to do that yet. It takes a lot of patience to do convoy driving. Last year we went to Ladakh in two cars and even then we lost sight of each other quite frequently.
Another lesson for me is that I was planning to take my Esteem to Ladakh next year just to have the feel of driving a low gc fwd car in those areas. But after seeing your ordeal I have made up my mind not to do it. The Bolero did all these stretches last year with such ease that I don't remember any place that posed even a little bit of a problem. The flip side is it is very boring when you think that you should get some adventure and there is no event to remember to narrate afterwards

What an awesome log! Thoroughly enjoyed reading through. What made it all the more interesting was the large and diverse group of vehicles in the convoy! Good going!

Day 16 - Sept 7
DAY 16 Making Up Time
Sept 7th 7:30AM
Location: Amritsar
Destination: Ajmer
Route: Amritsar Tarn Taran Faridkot Bhatinda Dabwali Hanumangarh Sardarshahar Kuchaman City - Ajmer
This and the next few posts will be sans a lot of photographs as the drive was manly to get back home. Though Hari did take pictures but I am still to get it from him
After a good nights sleep, woke up for the long haul back home, with no tourist destinations planned enroute, it was going to be somewhat boring but yet the challenge was to get back to Bangalore as quickly as possible. Since it was just two cars, everything was loaded in time for a 7:30AM start. Today we were targeting to reach Ajmer which was some 700 odd kms away. Though not long but we were trying to accomplish it within a reasonable time.
Checked the oil levels for Manza & Duster and we were ready to roll. Again tea & breakfast was decided to be taken enroute. Since it was early morning, it was easy to get out of Amritsar. The road to Tarn Taran was pretty good though it was 2 lane. Had tea just before exiting Amritsar, freshly prepared in a road side shed.
Harike Bird Sanctuary quickly came and went, just after crossing the lake, we encountered bad roads near Talwandi Nepalan, with bad roads traffic was pilling up as cars were moving slowly, so we decided to break for breakfast at a good road side restaurant. The restaurant was teeming with police folks more than civilians. However, we were not disturbed and had a nice breakfast of bread omelet, parantha, and sandwich. No no we are not hoggers but somehow like to stuff ourselves like camels for the longish driving range. The funda is more like filling up diesel.
After a nice breakfast, started rolling on the bad roads, which thankfully, disappeared and from Zira onwards the roads are really good. It was fun driving on the 2 lane roads, overtaking slow moving vehicles. We did have to stop for around 30 mins to cross Talwandi Bhai railway crossing, due to the usual issue of folks jumping lane and blocking both the sides. We were making good time till then with 10.30AM on the clock with a breakfast stop. But the sun was becoming stronger by the minute and while waiting in that jam we had to turn on the a/c. After the small jam, it was back on track towards Faridkot. The GPS guided us through the Faridkot bypass, which made things easy.
From Faridkot, it was onwards towards Bhatinda on some the most well maintained 2 lane roads one can drive. The traffic was also sparse hence, the going was pretty good. We reached Bhatinda at around 12.30ish. Bhatinda in the afternoon was thankfully clear of much traffic and we were able to get to the Hanumangarh exit in around 30 mins. But it looks like the train which we encountered in Talwandi Bhai has been pretty much going at the same rate as us and there we were waiting at the railway crossing for around 15-20 mins.
When finally the gates opened we were moving behind a car waiting to cross the line, when all the 3 of us inside the car heard a shout, we were sure it was from the police men near the gate but we pretended not to hear them and just crossed the gate. We hoped that by the time they relay any messages we should cross Punjab. For some time felt like fugitives, but anyhow with traffic flowing it was easier for us to get away. Duster was also doing pretty well following us all this while in these roads. Since over bad roads it can fly while Manza needs to slow down, I did offer for them to go ahead but looks like they were happy to tail.
You must have realized that this drive of 220 odd kms was boring without much happening, and with the heat rising no one was in mood to stop to take pictures. But how can it be that we are on Indian highways and there is no fun, well we did have fun for some time after Dabwali with a XUV500. No I am not trying to boast here but whoever was driving that XUV was not doing justice to the car, the poor fellow was not able to overtake the Manza for the next 25 kms. Every time it came near I would accelerate ahead or I would be maneuvering to overtake a truck or a bike and it had to contend itself to following the white whale. Just loved the acceleration of the Manza during that time, ToT was working really well on the car. It was finally able to go ahead when we had to take the Chautala bypass.
We soon reached the outskirts of Hanumangarh at around 1:30ish. We had covered 278 kms in 5hrs 30 mins, which was not bad considering that Google Supercar suggests to complete it in 4hours. Since it was early for lunch, we decided to push on towards Pallu to have our lunch. Since we had already done this RIDCOR Mega highway few days back we knew that Pallu will have good eating joints. So after some 90 odd kms we stopped at a typical roadside dhaba for lunch. Temperatures were soaring close to 40 as of now so as soon as we arrived at the dhaba, the first thing was to buy some cool drink which was more like ice drink. My throat is normally pretty sensitive to cold stuff in Bangalore but outside Bangalore, I can drink cold and also eat cold. Probably thats 1 thing I hate about Bangalore. Ok let me not digress from the topic at hand.
Sitting and waiting for lunch to arrive, which was apparently cooked by a drunk fellow
Yeah, the person who took our order was drunk or at least he smelt of local liquor but the food that he fed was really awesome. Shahi Paneer, Kaddi, Dal, Chole and roti. I did not count how many rotis came to the table but I personally had around 6 of them that day, yes yes you have certainly realized that my stomach was back on track. So the 5 of us must have gobbled down some 30 rotis that afternoon. Traveling does that to you, you know, the appetite just goes sky high. No wonder the truckers eat so much. After 16 days on the road, we also felt like truckers.
It was around 3:30 that we finished our lunch and started back on the road. Now this section of the road till Sujangarh was covered in the dark when we were going, but today in daylight we could see some sand dunes that typically associates itself to Rajasthan. But I guess the rains have been good this year so the area was more green than brown. With all those sand, high afternoon sun, and less traffic we were cruising along without any issues. The MID showed 40deg that afternoon. But after sometime the Manza temp needle started to go up again, not at an alarming rate but it was pretty high considering that we were on the move and it could get cold air easily. But I guess at 40deg it was getting more of hot air than cold. So I let the Duster pass us and we lowered our speeds to around 80-90 to let the car cool. Thankfully the days peak had already passed and by driving at 80-90 we were able to reduce the engine temp to around half.
In the meanwhile the Duster was not to be seen as it had gone past us, but then we saw it standing after a toll gate, they were worried about us and wondering why we slowed, but after explaining them the situation, we again moved at the slow pace.
We crossed Ratangarh & Landun, the time was close to 6:00 and it was getting dark soon. We were some 174 kms from Ajmer. So in order to make the most of the last remaining sun, and the engine temp down, I rushed the Manza after Landun, I am sure the Duster was confused at the sudden increase in pace but till Maulasar we kept the high pace. But since it was becoming almost dark, we stopped after the final toll gate to clean the windshield and prepare for the drive in the dark. We still had to cover 100 odd kms and were hopeful of reaching Ajmer by 9PM at least. Faced some traffic near Kunchaman City but the going was pretty good and we were finally on NH8 near Kishangarh. Once on NH8 the drive was that much relaxed as we knew Ajmer was not too far ahead. I had set the GPS to Hotel Khadim in Ajmer which is a RTDC run hotel.
At around 9:00PM we took the diversion for Ajmer and reached the outskirts, we saw one Paradizzo Resort just as you enter Ajmer but looking at the resort we drove past it. After a few meters stopped and discussed if we wanted to go inside city to Hotel Khadim or we check this resort. Well since we had to retrace the same road tomorrow, we decided to check the resort first. And thank god we did, because this turned out to be the most luxuries stays of the entire trip. Until that time the most luxuries stay for us was in Amritsar. The rate that we got was also pretty decent, I will discuss the rates in my final log of this trip. So by 9:25PM to be exact we parked our cars for the day.
728kms covered in 12 hours driving time sounded really good by our standards. We were no long distance overnight drivers, so this was a pretty good timing. Here is a little WhatsApp conversation that we had once we stopped in Ajmer.
Distance covered: 728 kms
Time Taken: 14.5 hrs
So as you have guessed by now, the plan was to reach Thane, 1000 odd kms from Ajmer. Time we did not know but we wanted to reach by 9PM to meet up with the Mumbai folks. Did we get to see them? Find out next.

Day 17 - Sept 8
DAY 17 Overnighter
Sept 8th 10:00AM
Location: Ajmer
Destination: Panvel (Mumbai)
Route: Ajmer Nasirabad Bhilwara Chittorgarh Udaipur Kherwara Himatnagar Ahmedabad Vadodara Bharuch Surat Vapi Thane (Mumbai) Panvel (Mumbai)
Well last night we had decided to visit the Dargah Sharif in the morning at around 7:30AM, yes the dargah opens that early, the hotel folks had already arranged for a guide there who would take care of the parking and darshan. It was 8AM by the time we met with the guide, he helped us park the vehicle. Apparently parking there is a big cult with charges going up to as much as 500 bucks if one is not careful. Thankfully for us, we got parking inside a garage for 100 bucks for the Duster. Yeah, we had taken the Duster instead of both the cars.
Had a really quick darshan of the Dargah Sharif, where the chaddar (scarf) was presented there, no standing in queue or waiting for hours, we bypassed all the queue and entered the main shrine. All thanks to our guide who apparently hails from the Chisty family and thats the reason that they have direct entry to the shrine. By the time we wrapped up our pilgrimage and reached the hotel it was close to 9:00AM, yes, the roadtrip apart from being an adventure one has now turned to a pilgrimage with visits to a Monastery, Gurudwara, and Dargah.
With this late start of past 10AM it was becoming doubtful that we would reach by 9PM. Nonetheless we paced ahead on the GQ towards Udaipur. Interestingly we need to deviate from the NH8 towards Nasirabad to get to the GQ, which was a mystery to me until HVK cleared that we take the deviation because further ahead NH8 becomes 2 lane and NH76 is the actual GQ but this adds some 60 odd kms to the distance.
We also got caught up in a deluge of truck traffic on the GQ, the traffic continued till Chittorgarh and it was quite tiring to keep negotiating the trucks. Well the late start and the traffic added to the tiredness and as soon as we turned to NH76, we decided to stop for some tea and rest. After getting our bearings, we proceeded towards Udaipur. By the time we joined back NH8 at Udaipur it was past 2PM, with grumbling tummies we decided to stop after crossing Udaipur.
Lunch was done in 30 mins and we were ahead with our mission, we thought we will stop at Ahmedabad or Vadodara as Thane was a distant dream now. One interesting thing I wanted to describe here, when we reached the small ghats near Kherwara it was interesting to see one fully loaded Santro zipping on those turns, in fact the car was at its edge on the twisty but still was maintaining a decent pace. I was left wondering how it could pull off those stunts. Yes, it was dangerous but it was also interesting to note the handling of the car.
Anyways, we probably crossed Samalji by 5PM and were all geared up to reach Vadodara by 8 or 9PM which was still 200 odd kms ahead. However, here an interesting change to the plans happened. As soon as we crossed over to Gujarat after the toll gate, we stopped at a petrol bunk for refreshing. Narsi got a message from his brother in law advising us to cross Mumbai tonight itself as tomorrow it will become impossible to cross it due to Ganapati festival. Well that was an interesting information and we decided to drive on towards Mumbai irrespective of the time it takes and stop only after crossing it. With another 600 odd kms left, it was evident that it will be a night drive.
In a way the decision was exciting as it will be after a long time I will be doing an overnighter. So we proceeded towards Ahmedabad and then onto the Vadodara expressway after a windshield cleaning session. Now this expressway I have already talked about how good it is, and today evening it demonstrated its efficiency even more as we were able to cover 90odd kms in 40 mins, without the speedo needle going past 110. Yes, you dont need to be a maniac to churn out those times on these kind of roads. Mohan enjoyed the expressway a lot as he stretched the Dusters legs but we both reached Vadodara more or less at the same around the same time, of course after the initial sprinting they slowed down.
We stopped at Hotel Dharshan a few kms after Vadodara on NH8 for our dinner. Dinner was light and the guys hogged on idly sambar which they were having after 15 days. With dinner out of the way it was now a sprint towards Bharuch. This is the dreaded place where we lost 5 hours when we were going to Ladakh, but now after 15 days, the water had subsided and we would be able to take the inner city route. By now we had covered close to 700 kms in under 12 hours, and that should give you an inkling of how bigger and better highways reduce travel time.
Reached Baruch outskirts on NH8 by 11PM and followed GPS to exit the NH8, but somehow we landed at a kucha road and were wondering if it was the correct. Thankfully we met one motorcycle fellow who informed that we should further go ahead on NH8 and take the right under the bridge, while this road is kuccha and blocked due to Gujarat Narmada Valley Fertilizer company here. Thank god for the good Samaritan he saved us a night adventure for sure. We traced our way back to NH8 and took the right under the bridge while NH8 continued straight. Thankfully this road was big and there were vehicles. This was the road to Bharuch main city.
Here is the map of where we went wrong and correct route
Map of how to cross the Bharuch Ankleshwar NH8 truck traffic
This time thankfully there was no jam and waiting we crossed the Narmada without any hassles. It was a surreal experience to cross the 1.5 kms long British made structure at night. We had to fold both the OVRMs as the bridge is pretty narrow and it especially becomes a challenge if there is a SUV from the other side. Well somehow without scrapping we were able to cross. Once you rejoin the NH8 it is a simple task of driving on the beautiful GQ 6 lane road towards Surat and then onto Vapi.
Well our going was halted for around 1 hour somewhere after Surat as we parked on the side. I was feeling sleepy and as soon as I found a empty bunk parked there and we all took a cat nap. Though it was not a deep sleep but the 15 mins actual shut eye did a world of good as I was feeling fresh again. To keep the freshness I had taken 3 red bulls as well from Hotel Darshan. But the red bulls have a very bad side effect of inducing drowsiness as soon as its effect wears off. In fact I could literally feel the power meter in my body going up after a gulp of the bull.
Anyhow, to cut the distance short we made it past the Maharashtra toll gate by around 3AM and reached Thane Hotel Fountain at around 4:15AM. So after a marathon run of 1044kms in 19hours from Ajmer to Mumbai was successfully completed. In fact by the time Narsi (who was driving the Duster) and I stopped at the hotel parking lot for a chai, only the two of us were awake, while the rest 3 were fast asleep. I still remember how Hari was fast asleep with his feet relaxing on Venkats seat back and him almost lying in the back seat. I aptly placed the KSRTC tagline Sleep like a baby for Hari as he was sleeping like a baby in a KA registered car. Apparently he was shocked to know that we had reached Mumbai once he got up.
So after the high fives of completing this marathon run, we skipped Chai and started off to cross the city. At 4.30AM even Mumbai was sleeping and there was hardly any traffic let alone people. We in fact broke a traffic rule by driving for a few meters on a one way road, all thanks to Google, but since there was no police check post it was not an issue. (Please bear in mind this was accidental and not intentional and we do not advocate breaking traffic rules). By the time we reached Turbhe even Narsi and I were feeling sleepy. We saw Hotel Ibis and went inside to inquire on the rates, we got woken up after hearing 4800 for twin sharing with a 400 bucks discount. After staying in a 4 star resort for peanuts this was an early morning robbery for us. Quickly scooted from the place and started searching on the Sion Thane road. But we never found any hotel here. Frustrations started taking over and at one point I suggested driving towards Lonavala and staying there. But Narsi was completely exhausted so we decided to check in Panvel. Thankfully we found one hotel as soon as we entered Panvel which was also not far from the express way. With rooms taken all I remember was setting the alarm for 12:30PM and dumped on the bed at around 6AM.
Distance covered: 1099 kms
Time Taken: 20 hrs
Tomorrow we drive relaxed to Belgaum and enter our homeland.

Re: Day 17 - Sept 8
Whoaaa, back to back posts after the weekend's silence! That is great and that too the overnighter is something to remember. I drove overnight after a gap of nearly 6 years (yes you read it right - did one immediately after my college) and it feels great to know that I am still able to do it.

Wow that was a marathon drive motomaverick and narsi done by you ll considering you ll had woken up early for the dargah also. The drive from Ahemdabad onwards must have been enjoyable and you must have let the White Whale lose. Waiting for the final leg of this epic travelogue.

Re: 25-0-40 DownUnder to UpOver - LEH'd 2013
That was some adventure out there in NH8. Last thing you need is to be lost in the middle of nowhere in the dead of the night.
Good roads do remove a lot of stress and save time.

Day 18 - Sept 9
DAY 18 – Relaxed Drive
Sept 9th – 2:30PM
Location: Panvel (Mumbai)
Destination: Belgaum
Route: Panvel (Mumbai) – Pune – Satara – Kohlapur - Belgaum
Once again as always it has been happening in this trip I woke up before the alarm went off at around 11:30 or 11:45 AM, that's some 5 hours of sleep. Despite less number of hours somehow was still feeling fresh. I guess that's what seasoned travellers feel and it was the first time for me to travel for so many days.
Anyhow long story short, we all got ready in an hours' time to grab brunch and leave for Belgaum. Since we had come in the dark we did not observe that just next to the hotel there was a Shiv Sagar. Now we all know that Shiv Sagar are a popular chain of sagar restaurants where you 9 out of 10 times cannot go wrong with the food. Today was no different though the fare was more local towards Mumbai. So order of the day was 3 thali's, 1 kicchdi, and rava dosa with sabudana vada. Since the last we had eaten was more than 12 hours back, the food vanished off the table pretty quick.
By the time we wrapped things up it was around 2PM, we settled the hotel bill and came down to our cars, just then Narsi who was the last to come out of the hotel, asked us if we had ordered a few in room dining things like parantha, bread, water bottle etc Obviously we were surprised as none of us had ordered anything except for couple of bottles of water by Narsi. Off we went to confront on the bill, thankfully the folks at the reception accepted their mistake and correct the bill. On hindsight they should have checked the billing properly, if we had not looked then we would have paid more than what was correct.
So with the little issue behind us, we set off towards the expressway, which was pretty close by. As soon as we hit the expressway it was just a smooth sail towards Pune.
Just before Khandala
The oncoming seems to be more than the ones going in our direction
As you can see at that time of the day there was not much traffic
Pune also was crossed pretty fast, since it was a holiday plus Ganesh puja ensured that there wasn't much traffic to bother us. Filled up just after Pune. Once again from Pune onwards we faced rains, first it was a light drizzle which turned heavy just before the Bengrutwadi Ghats. Stopped for tea near Wele and on we went towards Satara. Thankfully the rain stopped and the sun showed up a little to assist us on our run in as much day light as possible, of course it was a losing battle with both sun & rain as both came down. The entire distance of 150 kms from Satara to Kohlapur was wet and drizzling.
At around 8'ish we crossed Kohlapur, a distance of 346 kms covered in 5.30 hrs as we did not have to stop for lunch or anything longer than 15 mins. Now Belgaum was just 111 kms from here, but more exciting was that KA border was just 25 kms away and we would be landing up in our home state, well at least for the Manza after 16 days.
The team reached Belgaum by around 9.30PM and got ourselves a small run of the mill hotel near the main market. Dinner was a simple fare of south Indian thali. So after a gruelling 17 days on the road, it was such a relief to be back to very close to our homes all safe and sound. Certainly that night everyone was much more relaxed and also not much pressure to start early tomorrow.
Distance covered: 447 kms
Time Taken: 7 hrs

Re: 25-0-40 DownUnder to UpOver - LEH'd 2013
So finally you reached home! Great drive with very good narration and equally good pics.
About the guide at Ajmer Sharif being decendents of Sheikh Chishti, apparently all the guides there are decendents of the same family tree. They do not ditectly charge you, but their charges are hidden in the parking fee (yes you can even park in front of shops in the market), from what you pay for procuring the chadar & chadhawa and the cash that you offer on the dargah.
No offence meant to anyone, but this modus operandi I have observed during my visits. If you have one of those "guides" with you, you get direct entry to the dargah. Also, all of them have fixed places around the grave in the dargah where they stand with their clientelle. He must have given you his visiting card too!

Day 19 - Sept 10
DAY 19 Home Run
Sept 10th 9:30PM
Location: Belgaum
Destination: Bangalore
Route: Belgaum Hubli Davangere Chitradurga Sira Tumkur - Bangalore
So we have finally come to the last day of this mammoth trip that started way back on 23rd Aug (trip log started on 18th Sept) For us it still probably had not sunk in as yet that the trip is coming to an end. Anyways, started pretty late by around 9.30AM after having breakfast and checking all car vitals as it has always been all these days.
In fact the habit of checking the car has stuck on so much that even now I do the rudimentary checks like tires every day before starting. I guess Steven Covey had not done a road trip in his life hence, he said a habit to become a habit takes 21 days, we can prove it will take only 18 days.
The drive was pretty uneventful till Tumkur. We had stopped for tea at Rannebenur and lunch was at Kamath Sira. At Sira, Hari parted ways from the Manza, as Duster would be going near to his home and he can get dropped there. Plus, Narsi had decided to drive straight to Chennai today itself instead of staying back for the night at Mohans place. Apparently what happened was that the Duster flew ahead after Sira, while Venkat and I were sailing along leisurely. But once we entered Tumkur road, somehow the bug bit hard to reach home faster and hence the Manza came back to form, so much so that just before Nelmangala we had overtaken the Duster. I could see a wry smile from Narsi when we were at the toll gate. I guess he smiled at the last hurrah from the white whale before it hits city traffic. Long story short, I dropped Venkat home at around 4PM and reached my place safe and sound just 5 mins after (our places are pretty close).
The Odometer after 19 days on the road
So once I shut down the car finally for the day today, I realized that I had accomplished something that was a dream since more than 5 years. It started with Praveen KMs 6 months expedition on his Karizma, further fueled by Rohits Ladakh sojourn. In between there has been numerous logs that have inspired and gave information to complete this trip.
The picture says it all
Distance covered: 507 kms
Time Taken: 6.5 hrs
In closing of this melodramatic but I hope a very true representation of the trip, I would like to thank Venkat, Hari, Narsi, Mohan, Sathya, Rajesh, Neeraj, Chandrakanth, Nariman, Manoj, and Jaswant for making this a successful venture.
As they say in Ladakhi, JULEY!! Or until next time
PS: Coming up Preparation, hotel details, and dos & dont from our experience.

So, while I definitely think Olivia will have her own look, I also think that before we know it, Abby will have a little twin walking around here. Clearly, Olivia has hair, while Abby didn't-ha!, and Olivia has lighter eyes, but I found these pics of Abby at 5mo. old and I can't get over how similar they really do look! :)

- The Utley Crew
- Welcome to our life! :) Our life seems to be a constant 3 ring circus these days, but we have a lot of fun, laugh a lot and enjoy every minute of it (okay...almost every minute-haha!) Scott and I have been married for almost 9 years, and we are the parents of 2 amazing daughters, and another little one on the way. This blog is a way to keep in touch with family and friends. It also serves as a 'year book' of sorts for our family. Enjoy!!

I have no dog in this race; don't watch the show with regularity because it's not my kind of sci-fi.
I just wanted to mention that this:
If you watch the show and find that she does a shitty job as a Doctor or her origin isn't explained adequately compared to many other changes the show has seen over time, then we can discuss opinions.
I have no dog in this race; don't watch the show with regularity because it's not my kind of sci-fi.
I just wanted to mention that this:
The gender politics of the 60's meant that The Doctor absolutely had to be a white man. That restriction remained in place much longer than it had any business remaining in place. Claiming that modern gender politics are forcing this change is disingenuous at best - it was gender politics that made it the way it was in the first palce.
So, the issue is that they've changed aspects of the show to make it appeal to modern audiences. Which they've done shitloads of already. But this is different because its actually about ethics in timelord regeneration or some other bollocks, yeah whatever
You call that change "political" to distance yourself from it and devaluate it, which is a problem for itself because politics are a representation of society and you cannot distance yourself from it because you are part of society. But it's also just factually wrong. Did any politician demand Doctor Who to become a woman?
The move towards equality is actually a societal change. And a TV show that wants to stay relevant would be well advised to pick up on such societal changes. Otherwise we would still have the TV shows of the 50s.
You didn't even try to respond to or rebutt any of his points, you just suddenly threw a bunch of ad hominem insults at him.
also can we stop saying "retconned" because jesus christ that is really irritating me.
I assume by "his points" you mean icemann's. Let's look at those points.
1. "It's a retcon" - We already know that the show has had multiple retcons for various reasons. And why not.
2. "I'm all for women's lib and all that, but the Doctor is male. Always has, always should be." - An appeal to the status quo while forgetting that previous changes and retcons are also part of the status quo, in other words this is cherry picking.
3. "Have it be a completely new Timelord with her own unique back story." - That's a preference, not an argument.
I understand that none of you thinks of themselves as misogynists, but the truth is that sometimes the preferences you've come to hold dear from childhood to now are based on misogyny of others in the past, eg why heroes of films and tv shows historically have been white males. You truly seem to believe that this was an "artistic choice" ignoring proven historical chauvinism, meanwhile hiring a woman rings to you as a "political" agenda.
There's a willful naivete in that which isn't innocent at all.
Have you also read what I said about this kind of preferences?
It's a show that's been running since the 1960s. If its tone was set in stone it would still look like it did back then, eg it would be black/white. Since it obviously does not, you seem to be taking special exception to this particular change. Isn't that so?
A female doctor eh? So in a year she'll go on maternity leave and then only work part time during office hours.
How will the universe survive?
You could hire two of them, but they'll just sync their periods and pregnancies. :/
Bipolar Game: http://store.steampowered.com/app/463450/
The show is over 50 years old and one of the things that has remained constant through its run is that the Doctor is played by a British male actor (Englishman or Scot), so I think it's entirely reasonable to argue about whether the gender and nationality of the actor are important to the role or not. If someone prefers a male actor to play a character that has always been, for 50+ years, male, that does not make them a misogynist. Look up the definition.
I personally don't give a damn who plays the Doctor, because I've never really watched the show. I liked the theme music, but beyond that it didn't grab my interest. However, I'm defending icemann here because he doesn't deserve a nasty bag of insults just for wanting a favorite show to stay the same.
Everyone expects television technology and equipment to change over time. The identity of the show's central character is naturally more important to long time fans.It's a show that's been running since the 1960s. If its tone was set in stone it would still look like it did back then, eg it would be black/white. Since it obviously does not, you seem to be taking special exception to this particular change. Isn't that so?
And, really, saying "if you've got a problem with this then you're a misogynist virgin pissbaby" does nothing except turn you into ammunition for the people you're railing against. Don't engage in stereotypes or you'll become one.
I don't think there was this big a furore over Star Trek putting a female captain in as a lead for the show. It's another thing that Voyager was pretty bland and mulchy from what I saw of it, but given that Dr. Who fans have 5+ decades of stuff to revisit if they don't like the show's new stylings (and let's be fair, Who's spinoffs like Torchwood proved that these things can be extremely progressive), what do you stand to lose? At best this might serve as a shot in the arm and you get a fun series if the casting and writing are good (ahahahahaha *snort* ...ahem), and at worst you can write it off as an experiment that didn't work. It's not the end of the world.
...Aaaaannnd, the show still failed to defang the Social Justice crusaders with this move: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DFAisKzV0AArMZS.jpg:large
No matter how much you try to appease the Left, they always want more, more, more.
You do talk a load of shite, Krush. All the time.
He does read the twitter feed of "Feminist Frequency" though, which I wouldn't dream of doing.
Unless you were only googling for ammunition, Krush, but you wouldn't fall so low, now would you?
Even lower than that.
Spoken like an honest man. Seriously though, how does that twitter feed speak for "the Left" who "always want more, more, more"?
Can I use any right wing nut's verbal vomit now and assume that it speaks for "the Republicans", including you? Do you think that's fair?
It's not one person, it's the overall pattern of how these people are shaping the culture. Black Heimdall, female Sherlock Holmes, female Doctor Who, Iron Man now a black girl in the comics. Thor now a woman, Hermione switched to black in the Harry Potter stage play, Sulu now gay...I'm actually amazed Kirk and Spock are still white and straight. Not to mention the female Jedi who instantly grasps all the Force powers and can defeat dark Jedi easily, using abilities it took Luke years - and three movies - to master.
It's not just fictional characters - they've retconned Alexander Hamilton as gay and black in a play, plus replaced Andrew Jackson with a black woman on the $20 bill, and started removing all Confederate war monuments.
It's a calculated program of cultural and racial erasure and re-writing.
Also I'm not a Republican but an alt-righter.
fucking leftwing electricity, whats wrong with just setting a lump of pitch on fire

Microfest fun!
It was also an opportunity for LacubriousToo to get in some camera time with his GIANT rental lens. He's been yearning for an IS (image stabilized lens), they are pricey, but he found a great place that will "rent" you one via mail order. He got it this week! So this event was a prime opportunity to try it out.
Around 1:30 –ish we headed down to the event. We had a little trouble navigating due to the heavy construction in Forest Park. Yes, oh yes, MrLacubriousJones made at least one Q-turn! We finally found the upper Muny parking lot and headed to the registration booth to get signed in. We signed away our rights (waiver) and showed our ID's, got our wrist bands and little sample glasses and we were off!
We tried "several" varieties of beer. Some we had tried before, others were new to us. Nothing really knocked our socks off (what socks?!) but I have to say that the Blackberry Wheat was pretty refreshing on a warm summer day. Once we were pickled, we headed off to find Javi and the gang. They were all chillin' under the shade trees waiting to get into the small metal box, err I mean "stage".
The gang this time around was Javi, Carl, Moises, and Bill. They were great, although there were some power and sound issues. Sometimes the quality of sound at these outdoor events leaves a lot to be desired. At one point the whole system cut out right in the middle of Blood in the Water….when it came back on, Javi just picked it up from where he left off!
The whole thing was over by 6pm, so we packed up our crew and headed down to Cicero's for some dinner…….and to wait for Javi & Carl who were performing a 45 minute set that night. They were opening up for the Fundamental Elements. It sounded great, LacubriousToo got some great photos.
We ended the evening our usual way…..grabbing some coffee at Starbucks on the way home. Good times!!!

Summer always makes me want things that seem incredibly impractical.
With Memorial Day upon us, I've been thinking about what I'll need for all the fun in the sun I plan to have, though each item might seem like a frivolous purchase.
But whenever you're standing in front of an entire shelf of something and you think to yourself, "That's so much money to spend on an item I'll only wear a few times," remember the tale I'm about to tell. In the spring of 2011, I took a trip to Miami. The trip just didn't seem complete without a fancy hat, but I stopped and asked myself the question above and decided to go without one, despite the fact that I have thin hair, especially at the temples, and needed the coverage.

Montpelier — A Vermont health care organization working to keep patients healthier while reducing costs is expanding the number of people who will be covered by a new system that pays providers a set amount of money for its patients, rather than paying the providers for the services they provide to those individuals.
The accountable care organization OneCare Vermont announced that it was expanding the program beyond the 30,000 Medicaid patients announced earlier this year to include patients covered by Medicare and private insurance. Once implemented, it would cover about 120,000 Vermonters who get their health care from providers from one end of the state to the other.
"This is the big transition step, this is part of a multi-year plan," OneCare CEO Todd Moore said on Wednesday.
The system is designed to pay participating health care providers a set fee for each patient in the program. Although there are limits, if that person's care costs more than the fee, the provider will have to make up the difference. If it costs less, the provider will benefit.
OneCare said it will be working with, among other organizations, nine hospitals in Vermont and one in New Hampshire, though not all will immediately participate in the full expansion.
Hospitals in the OneCare network in the Upper Valley include Mt. Ascutney Hospital and Health Center in Windsor, Springfield (Vt.) Hospital, and Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital in Lebanon.
Some 24 independent physician practices, eight home health agencies and six mental health and substance abuse agencies throughout Vermont are also involved.
OneCare is jointly owned by the University of Vermont Medical Center and Dartmouth-Hitchcock Health.
Andrew Garland, a spokesman for Blue Cross Blue Shield of Vermont, said Wednesday the organization was working with OneCare to design a program for its customers that would begin on Jan. 1.
Last year, both state and federal officials agreed to the concept that it hopes will keep Vermont patients healthier while reducing costs by encouraging providers to focus on keeping people healthier. When state officials approved the project, they said the hope was that within six years up to 70 percent of health care provided in the state would be paid for through accountable-care organizations.
In February, state officials announced the first accountable care organization that would participate in the program, OneCare, which would work with 30,000 Medicaid patients the first year. The total cost of the Medicaid program for those first 30,000 patients was about $93 million in state and federal funds.
Moore said that so far this year, the Medicaid program is almost on target, although "we do have a little bit of excess spending" that is above target.

The leader in LSU's open quarterback competition underwent a back procedure Monday.
Danny Etling had a "minor" procedure on his back, coach Ed Orgeron said in a statement to The Advocate.
"Danny had a minor back procedure this morning and everything went all right," Orgeron said.
Etling has been battling back pain for several months, and the surgery is expected to relieve the pain. It's not expected to be a long recovery.
Etling, a senior from Indiana, started 10 games last season and is poised to be the Tigers' starter again, though coaches are keeping the battle open through preseason camp. Etling took most of the first-string snaps during spring practice, but he struggled during LSU's spring game Saturday night in Tiger Stadium.
He finished 4-for-11 for 53 yards passing.
"He didn't play good. Bottom line," Orgeron said in Saturday's postgame news conference. "He didn't have a good night. He's had some good days, but today wasn't one of his better nights. I don't know if any of the quarterbacks played like the way we want them to play."
LSU new tight end transfer Thaddeus Moss on dad Randy at Tiger Stadium: 'That's definitely the plan'
Thaddeus Moss ignored Matt Canada's attempts to redirect him once.
It's unclear how much the back issue hampered Etling's play during last season or Saturday night. Etling took several significant shots last season, including a brutal collision against Ole Miss in the Tigers' seventh game of the season — a hit he said might be hardest he's taken in a college football game.
It is not clear when the back injury flared up or started.
Etling was present for the short portions of each spring practice that reporters were allowed to watch. He played most of the first half of the spring game before officials moved the game to the indoor facility because of lightning.
There, Justin McMillan, a third-year sophomore and the presumed backup to Etling, replaced him with the starting offense. Etling did not see the field again.
Etling performed "awesome" during most of the spring, Orgeron said, before his outing in the spring game.
'He's a little bit like Jamal Adams': Just in college four months, LSU safety Grant Delpit is making his mark
Four months ago, Grant Delpit was in high school.
Physically, Etling seemed fine in Saturday's game. At one point, during a scramble, Etling raced off the field, his momentum taking him into the east bench area at Tiger Stadium. He leaped over several objects, including the team bench. He remained in the game.
Etling brought stability to LSU's quarterback situation last season, taking over for Brandon Harris during the Tigers' second game. He completed 59 percent of his passes last season, the highest mark from an LSU starting quarterback since Zach Mettenberger in 2013.
Etling averaged 193 yards per game, throwing 11 touchdown passes and five interceptions.

I cannot speak for others, but in my experience, sometimes I go through really difficult phases that makes it quite hard to stay positive!
BTW, I was reading a very interesting article in Psychology Today, Oct 2010, about introverts and social pressure for positivity. It has some good insights :)

Ah, yes. That is the thing about inspiration. And creativity. And good intentions. Sometimes things just don't play out the way you expect.
I had such hopes for today. But, all it took was a sinus headache and a poor night's sleep and my plans needed to change.
I did salvage something of the free time I had and tackled some mending. I organized a few things. I sorted. All bits of quiet work. And when my headache was under control, I road my flywheel like a maniac. Or, like someone who feels they are working toward making up for lost time.
While I was sorting, I came upon 2 unfinished quilts. One is a bright fabric baby quilt that is about 85% machine quilted that I had abandoned for one reason or another. The other is a pieced top that I made following a pattern of Margaret Rolfe's from one of her Go Wild With Quilts books. I had set the top aside because I felt it needed a border to finish it, yet I was unsure of what border treatment best suited it. As I opened it up today, I realized it is indeed finished and needs no further additions. So I chose a backing, found a piece of cotton batting and have started basting it.
I pondered this development in my way of thinking off and on the rest of the day. When I was studying Signwriting at George Brown College, the instructors often pointed out that the borders and lines and swirls that students were so eager to add were merely window dressing and that the substance and strength of the sign should be in the lettering of the message. And I saw today that it is the same with quilts. There is no reason to add more to the design just to make it a less awkward size or to wrap the quilt in a unifying border when the design is already strong enough to stand on its own.
And so I baste.

Is it possible to have a healthy platonic relationship? Or am I just kidding myself here? Let's be honest. It's been eight months since "the confession" which is obviously going to be held against me for – well, forever!
Is it possible to love someone without being "in love" with someone? I mean, once you've said it out loud, can you undo it? How? By your words? Your actions? You can't be less than who you are. By contrast, you can't be more. So, I ask again, is it possible to have a healthy platonic relationship?
Is it easier to pretend you have a healthy platonic relationship, when ultimately what you have is unhealthy? By comparison to past relationships, is it unhealthy? How does it make you feel to be in this relationship? Are you satisfied in knowing this is as much as your ever going to get out of it? Are you getting enough out of it? Is it a facade? Are you settling? Does it help cushion the sting of "we will never be more than friends" and "I'm just not attracted to you that way." Would it be more or less humiliating to just say, fuck you, and walk away?
What does it say about you, as a person, that you can't be in a platonic relationship with someone? That you truly are a person of two poles, either all in, or all out. No middle ground.
The simple fact is this: I love this person, dearly. He makes me crazy. He makes me sane. He makes laugh. He makes me cry. He makes me think deep thoughts. Sometimes, he does the thinking for me. He holds my hand, both literally and figuratively. He lifts my spirits. He makes me brave. He makes me weak. But that's okay, because I know he will be there to pick me up if I fall. I talk, he listens. He talks, I listen. I can't imagine my life without this person in it. How lucky am I to have found such a great friend!
It isn't always easy being just a friend. But then, I suppose, it's not easy being my friend either. Nothing worth having is seldom easy. I guess, that's how I know it is possible!

Need website ranked high in Google
Budget $30-250 USD
I need my websites to rank high in google for specific keywords that I will provide you. The websites have been online for a couple of weeks now, and I have already gotten things out to try to boost their rankings. You are free to post blogs, articles, or links to boost rankings, but everything must be done "white hat" method. I do not want my sites banned from Google or anything because the sites were promoted incorrectly. I am fairly new to having websites, and I really want them to take off. I have 2 different sites, so will be picking 2 different people to help promote them. I will provide a list of keywords that I want them ranked for. I want them in the top 3 listings on google for at least 5 keywords. I will pay when they are in the top 3 for 5 keywords.
OK, I thought I should maybe post some clarification. I have a very small budget. I will not be able to pay anything until project is completed, no upfront payment. I am expecting that once my websites are higher ranked, I will be able to make money from them, which is what will hopefully be used to pay the person that helps. I will not consider any bids over $100, as I just can't afford that right now. If I accept a smaller bid, and my website does start making money, I am likely to pay more than originally agreed upon, but cannot commit to that without knowing how well it will work.
If anybody who has submitted a bid would like to change it, please feel free.
Thank you.

Joining the campaign to plant a billion trees in America by 2020, the US chapter of BAPS Charities, an India-based non-profit body, has donated USD 165,000 for the initiative through a series of 'walkathons' across North America.
A cheque of USD 165,000 raised through 'Walk Green 2017' walkathons, was presented to The Nature Conservancy last week, a media release said today.
Over the last six months, BAPS Charities hosted their annual walkathons at 63 venues across North America.
Last year, BAPS Charities organised walkathons nationally, helping plant a total of 70,000 trees across the country to contribute to a broader goal of planting a billion trees by 2020.
"BAPS Charities activities reinforce the importance of serving others, raising awareness about important causes, and this year, protecting the planet through practice is important to my family and me," said Anand Mehta, a participant in the day's activities.
Ahmedabad-based BAPS Charities has led several projects around the world in health care, education, environmental causes, and community-building campaigns.
The Billion Tree Campaign was launched by the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) in various countries in response to the threat of global warming, as well as to a wider array of sustainability challenges from water supply to biodiversity loss.

We have been supported by such a great people.
Without Mr.Xavier Rodriguez I Guimera,we would not have made the very first product in Spain, he knows what quality is, beauty and perfection. He has been reading one of the best metal fabrication company in the world, which is called IBERPLATA. He and his co-workers are kind of angels for us, and also they are masters and great masters. We would celebrate his brain and his sense of values which drives our creation to a higher level of completion.
Mr.Alex Soler Belloso has a great company called ORWOOD, dedicated to design and fabrication in wood. And also He is a designer of many elegant and modern furnitures. Sometimes he offers a little time to us, for his nice and fruitful business lecture, which has been my favourite time there.
We are based in Barcelona, and working under the heavy economic crisis in Spain, but we have been working together with many young, talented craftsmen and engineers. They must grow their careers in the field they ever like, that is what we hope too. We will work harder not to lose a bright future of craft products.

When I was costuming furiously in anticipation for the Iowa Renaissance Faire, and the Nebraska Renaissance Faire, an evening at home, just hanging out doing nothing seemed like heaven.
The reality is that my son is in his room building a gigantic Hot Wheels track that spans pretty much the entire room, and I was on the couch, trying to start to read How to Make an American Quilt after finishing "Solar Lottery", by Philip K. Dick.
Yes, I am bored already.
I suppose that I could start the closet organization project, but from experience, I know that if I start now, I will be up until 1 am, at which point I will discover that I have to put everything back into the closet in order to have somewhere to sleep.
So, here I am. Online again.
Nothing going on.
Nothing to do.

Shares of Foundation Health Systems surged nearly 50% last week as Superior National Insurance Group said it expects to complete its $285-million purchase of Foundation's money-losing workers' compensation unit on Dec. 10.
Woodland Hills-based Foundation, one of California's largest health insurers, on Friday saw a 32% jump in its share price, up 2 9/16 to 10 1/2--the biggest one-day percentage gain since Dec. 30, 1994.
Foundation shares had lost value this month amid concerns about rising medical costs as well as delays in the sale. The workers' compensation business is the first of several units Foundation plans to sell so it can focus on running its healthiest managed-care businesses.
When Foundation's sale of the unit to Superior National was disclosed in May, the two companies had said they expected it to close by the end of September.

Bibliophile's Corner
by Rebecca Stead
In 1979 a sixth grade girl, named Miranda, has her New York City life become extremely complicated. Her mother is preparing to be a contestant on The $20,000 Pyramid game show, her best friend, Sal, stops talking to her, and there is a strange, laughing homeless man on the neighborhood corner. In the midst of this complexity, her obsession for Madeleine L'Engle's book, A Wrinkle In Time, adds to the mystery. These strange, seemingly unrelated, aspects of her adolescent life culminate in a suspenseful and supernatural finale!
My thoughts:
The author, Rebecca Stead, has written a unique and edgy MG novel which takes place in the Manhattan inner city. When You Reach Me is seen through the eyes of Miranda, a sixth grade girl, as she writes down her thoughts and questions regarding her evolving adolescent life. Her relationships with her mother, her mother's boyfriend, and her own friends are written with a gut level authenticity. The pieces of the puzzle of her life come together in a whimsical, wonderful ending. This book won the 2010 Newbery Medal Award.
