Unicode error while scraping for Ramon Sessions #25

No clue why this is happening. I think there's a bad character coming over.

Fixed. Some strange character 0xa1 was written into a sponsored message on the page. I got around this by adding a second argument to the decode() method, which tells the decoder to ignore a non-unicode character if it encounters it. This looks like it solved the problem.
