Rules of the Trail: Ride only Open Trails: Respect trail and road closures.
0 Members and 1 Guest are viewing this topic.
Sometimes I wish we could go out there and work more than just the first Saturday of the month, after the last workday I attended, I have been itching to get back out there and do some more work. It really was enjoyable and it provided a sense of pride I did not expect.
I think doom is perfect right now personally, what are you looking at fixing on the ridge? The first climb to the right of the tree would be nice to work, but there is no good dirt source close. This weekend is no good for me to work, but maybe we can get together tomorrow or sunday for a ride and take a look at this stuff. Right now we have 2 sections of harder trail in progress that I would love to see get completed as planned. If we get a bunch of people committed to hard trails we can arrange time to work on it. Chris, Josh? You going to be at Alafia tomorrow? I can't ride for long but would love to come out and see what you are looking at.
If we want to do alternate trail days all we'd have to do is get with Art. We can't go out there and do whatever, it still has to fit the guidelines laid out by the land managers. Maybe a few of us can set up something fairly regular to go out on a Saturday and do some maintenance so we can continue building new stuff on the regular workday. Chris, where in Doom are you wanting to fix? Also, as far as I know that ridgeline isn't an official trail, that is why it isn't maintained. I might be wrong on that, maybe Art or Garry can chime in on that.
I think this is great. I might offer this - grab some knowledge online (there are some links on the IMBA site) about building sustainable trails. Hoping not to sound condescending, but there is more than just cutting through an area to make a sustainable trail. Building a well thought out sustainable trail lasts a whole lot longer, takes less maintenance after erosion and poor user use, or over use. You can then make it as hard as it needs to be, but with a sustainable base. Also watch for "Trail Building Classes" offered by IMBA - they recently had one at Santos, we've had them here before - and go check it out. You get to learn with the best, and ride the trails you work on! Having a good discussion prior to trail building on what is to be expected helps the understanding process too, so when the trail bosses are discussing what to do that day - ask questions if needed. Sometimes the desired plan doesn't pan out, so alterations happen and a trail can experience a few changes to make it right.With more people stepping up to the plate to build and MAINTAIN the trails once built this will only make the trails and this club a much better place product for all to enjoy. Let the excitement build!
The first climb to the right of the tree would be nice to work, but there is no good dirt source close.
Quote from: eclark on March 20, 2009, 09:01:53 AMThe first climb to the right of the tree would be nice to work, but there is no good dirt source close. I'd be willing to dig the dirt from another source if we can find some relatively close and a halfway easy way to transport it. I'd really like to try that right line. I remember it being in much better shape than it is at the moment.

My original post with formatting, links, and optional full-size photos:
So sometimes in life and art, I'm a big ol' copycat. I guess a nicer way of saying that is that 'I'm inspired by...' Even at a young age, I couldn't create without copying. In art class I couldn't draw from life or my mind's eye. I would have to copy somebody else's art, something already drawn or painted.
Remember Tippy from the magazines? Yea, I got accepted to art school too (like everybody else that bothered to submit it). Mine looked exactly like this. I think I was 12 or 13 at the time.
My art teacher was very unamused when I drew and turned this in as one of my assignments.
I could draw him line by line. Nowadays, I have to follow patterns (knitting) or look at abstract paintings and make them my own. The cool thing is now they transform into something different. I know that doesn't make me a true artist, more of an artist wannabe but I'm okay with that. I do it for fun. I'm not selling it and most of the time it's pretty distinguishable from where the inspiration started.
Anywho, this week's inspiration makes me draw the parallel between art and my physical activities. This week I was inspired and motivated by a new goal MOSTMOM1 made in her latest post. She wanted to get her next fitbit badge which was 30,000 steps in one day. I was like, "wow, that's awesome. I haven't received a badge in quite a while. That's a great goal. I wonder what my next badge is." I know I've reached 27,000 steps on last year's trip to New York City where we got 20,000+ each day. But yep, I haven't reached the next milestone of 30,000...
next up...30,000
I think this achievable but I need a little more time since Consistency Has Not Been Not My Name, as of late, getting anywhere between 5000 and 15,000 steps a day. MOSTMOM1 estimates about 14 miles to achieve 30,000 steps. That sounds about right. I'm planning on 12-15 miles.
Part 1 of zee-Plan (not sure why my thoughts are in a french accent):
So what's my plan? Starting yesterday (Sunday=14,138), to get no less than 10,000 steps a day until Saturday.
Part 2 of zee-Plan:
Saturday, I'm getting up extra early to walk from here to the contact station (old entrance to Desoto State Park).
The road is now paved but the wall is still there and doesn't look too much different now. The trees are taller, that's for sure.
Now (well almost now, the building was recently renovated into a CCC museum. They did a beautiful job preserving the history. It's been sandblasted, molding replaced, and was re-roofed. I think the rededication was in May):
photo by Brittany McAlister-Hughes of DSP
From the old entrance to the park, I'll hike up on the right behind the building taking the trails to the Country Store by the new entrance to the park, looping back around to the trails where the fairies live (they must), through the primitive campgrounds, exiting by the wall pictured on the left and then taking the road back home. I estimate this to be about 12 miles, roundtrip.
The contact station pictured above is on the left of the map. Depending on how I feel, I may add the blue part (Never-Never Land) which would add a little less than 3 miles.
I will come home, regroup, stretch and rest. I'll estimate what I need to do to achieve 30,000 and take 1 to 2 more smaller walks. Probably with the doggies.
I'm excited. If I achieve this Saturday, I can work on some other badges:
Next badge is 2000 miles
Next up is 14,000 floors
I'm having trouble finding where I fall on the above goals since FitBit revamped their dashboard. All I know is that it's been some time since I achieved 1000 miles and 8000 floors and that 2000 miles and 14,000 floors are the next badges.
I've had to get creative with how I'm going to achieve this goal this week. Details to come.
I know, you MUST be on the edge of your seat, da-duh-dummmmm!
Who's with me?
Peace, light, and love. Yo.

Sounds like you have a great plan. I get about 2500 steps per mile (depending on terrain and how fast I am walking).
I'm glad I'm not the only one struggling with FB's new dashboard. Today I realized in settings you can turn it off and go back to the old one (which I did immediately).
Today I got a new badge (two actually) 75 flights of steps and 100 flights of steps. We hiked from the highway parking lot at Carver's gap to the summit of Roan Mtn and then to the Roan High Bluff (for lunch with a view). It was a lot of climbing (inclined trail and steps (logs and rocks) that added to 100 flights!
It does feel good to get a new one. Let us know how you do this weekend.

Just a couple of times when I've lost people I love, I've had intense periods of remembering them, as if every time I turn around some physical reminder of them–like that time after Kate died when I could smell her patchouli in the entry way of my house–is right there.
This weekend it was Barbara's turn. Below is a series of texts I sent my sister-in-law Rochelle on Friday.
I'm making a quilt for our friends' wedding. So yesterday found me at the Cotton Shop, where I did the block of the month I gave to your mom (and that she submitted to the country fair. Twice!)
I found myself telling the clerk who cut fabric for me about how their scrappy Block of the Month became an award winning quilt and actually pulled up the photo from the display at her (Barbara's) funeral to show her (the clerk) the quilt. Which I'm sure she didn't need to know, but apparently I needed to tell her about.
Then last night we the family over and had Navajo tacos and frybread from a Navajo family trying to earn money to send their girls on tour with BYU's Living Legends.
Both those were happy things, I guess. (But while the frybread was excellent, your mom's chili is still the best thing to ever grace a Navajo Taco.)
Right now I'm at Fabric Mill in Orem, which is just next to the Chuckarama. And I'm remembering our dinner together the night before. That was a happy time, but being here now I can't help but feel sad. Still grateful we had that time, but also sad it was the last time.
We miss her.
Yesterday I was waiting in line next to someone I thought was a stranger and I learned that a friend (not a close friend, but one who has become dear to me as her family as taken on a familiar fight–the fight against cancer–the fight no one ever seeks or asks for)'s sweet courageous and hopeful son is out of remission after just barely being able to return to school after yet another round of treatments. The cancer keeps returning–and this time so quickly–to his brain, thus rendering the hope of the bone marrow transplant for which they have a perfect match, ineffective. There is nothing more they can do. The sure faith which which this sweet child of God met this impossible news was humbling. Yet my heart breaks for him and his family.
I couldn't hold back the tears and was crying silently, when the person next to me recognized me and said hello. When she could see I was grieving, she gave me a hug and expressed love and support that I would never have expected to find in such a random place. Except I'm sure it was not random.
Later this afternoon, the familiar wail of sirens drew close. I looked out my front window and saw a series of first responders head south on the main road perpendicular to mine. "Please keep going," I silently pleaded, knowing, of course that pain and sorrow is pain and sorrow wherever it lands.
Soon I got a text from a neighbor one street over, informing me where the ambulance was parked. I texted Shane, who, as bishop, was receiving a flurry of texts and calls.
It was, of course, someone we know and love, someone beloved by so many here on the hill. "A spitfire of a lady," as described by her son. A powerful matriarch who has been a force for good her entire life and who is so strong, it seemed impossible she would even age, let alone be taken from us.
In a freak accident, she fell down a short flight of stairs in the worst possible way and within a couple of hours we got word she has been taken home.
We are in disbelief. And our hearts are turned to this dear family–three of her sons and their families live in our immediate neighborhood–another and a granddaughter within just blocks beyond. We mourn their loss along with our own losses, and those of several friends who've lost brothers, sisters, fathers, and mothers. Whose wounds are all fresh.
So grateful to come across this sweet reminder this morning in my reading.
Hope. Pray. Love.

Starting or Expanding Your Family, Part 1 of 2
How nutrition and toxins influence your child
"Since the introduction of processed food, junk food, and what we can consider the "modern diet"; most mothers cannot nourish themselves optimally before conception, and much less during a pregnancy. The art of cooking and putting nutritious food on the table has almost been lost to our current generation. Also, close-birth spacing which is common in several societies exaggerates the differences in health between siblings…"
The Foundation of Healthy Nutrition, Part 1 of 3
What we can learn from cultures around the world
"While carnivores have the ability to hunt and devour most of its prey and omnivores migrates depending on seasonal availability of plant-based food, only humans have learned to extract every last bit of nutritional content from anything that is edible in the world around us. This knowledge has been passed down from each generation since the dawn of time and improved upon out of trial and error. This is why traditional cooking in every culture holds some of the most fundamental secrets to good and proper nutrition…"
Straight from the desk #11
"Straight from the desk is an ongoing series where I put my thoughts, ideas or recent topics (discussed by clients or other coaches) into small nuggets of useful information. Each issue usually contains several topics (comparable to 1 or 2 full-length articles), covering anything from health, fat loss to weight training and sports performance…"
Cueing when coaching
Internal vs. external cues
"No matter if you're an aspiring strength coach, personal trainer or a gym rat who love to help his/her friends on occasion – giving the right cues can make all the difference when teaching someone new movements and exercises…"
The Epidemic of Nearsightedness II
Carbohydrates and Insulin
"In Issue 24 of CMN, I wrote about the new epidemic of nearsightedness (myopia). We dismissed the belief that myopia is hereditary and looked at the most common reasons for distorted vision – the lack of natural sunshine and our recently developed habit of looking at screens and other stuff right in front of us. Our eyes need to be "exercised" by focusing on objects at various distances. One good practice is the 20-20-20 rule for reducing eye strain, which simply involve a 20 second break every 20 minutes to look at something 20 feet away.
While spending a lot of time indoors and frequently using near-eye devices will dramatically increase your risk of developing nearsightedness, there is another cause for myopia – our modern diet…"
Collagen Protein as Pre-Workout?
Collagen and vitamin C before exercise for improved joint health?
"For anyone involved in strength training or sports where joint and tendon strength are crucial, nutritional strategies are an important step to prevent injuries, or to heal them as quickly and efficiently as possible, if they do occur.
In a recent study, published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, a team of researcher looked at the possibility to increase collagen synthesis by supplementing gelatin/collagen (rich in proline and glycine) with vitamin C before engaging in exercise…"

When I was a teenager in 1987, I went to the Soviet Union with a church youth group, during the era of Perestroyka. Posing as secular high school students, our sacred mission as "ambassadors of peace" was to smuggle Bibles to our Christian brothers and sisters trapped in the godless commie empire, and perhaps take in some sight-seeing. I was seventeen, the son of a minister from one of the sponsor churches, and not very pious. I more or less saw the trip as a good excuse to see some of the world.
On the Lufthansa flight, I sequestered myself to the rear of the plane as far from my co-ambassadors as I could get. They were clustered near the front, singing church camp songs. When I asked my eugenic Finnish stewardess for a 7-Up, I was delighted to learn that we were now over international waters and that my country's prissy strictures against underage drinking need no longer apply. Eight hours later, when we landed for an overnight stop-over in Helsinki, I was very drunk. I would remain happily soused for the next two weeks, as I sampled Russia's plethora of free-flowing vodkas.
That night in Helsinki, to break the ice, the missionary crew went out for a feast of broiled reindeer, holding hands around the table to pray both before and after our meal, and then we strolled around a Finnish mall where the porn was curiously on display with the hand soap. As I was examining the cover of a magazine where yet another Aryan blond was pressing her tongue down on the anus of what could have been her twin sister, someone came up behind me and said, "That's not very Christian now is it?" I turned around to find Monica, the cute little 4-H punk chick whom I noticed would roll her eyes each time our lead chaperone, a bald frenzied man, said, "in God's warm embrace" with arms outstretched.
Later, crowded into one of the chaperone's rooms, during what would become our nightly prayer meeting, I sat behind Monica, waiting until everyone's head was bowed in silence to lean forward and whisper, in my best impersonation of the deacon, "Let us now rejoice in God's moist embrace." Snorting violently, she dashed out of the room. Despite my being able to keep a straight face, everybody seemed to know it was my fault and from then on our fellow ambassadors dealt with Monica and me with trepidation.
We had only one other ally: a guy from Hoboken named Richie. More than once Monica and I had to help him stagger out of a prayer meeting. The chaperones tried to pray with us about our drinking, but their efforts had little effect. Our misfit conspiracy found sanctuary in my hotel room, where we were intoxicated as much by the formidable absence of Gideons as by our ready cocktails. We acquired a taste for the gamey black bread served at every meal, which we smuggled from the dining hall in Monica's cargo pants. Chain-smoking the stale local cigarettes out of packs emblazoned with the image of Sputnik, we spoke with increasing disdain of Americans. Eventually, the mutual fantasy Monica and I shared of defecting and joining the communist party led to an effortless melancholic adolescent intimacy that soon suggested the removal of each other's clothing whenever Richie left the room or passed out.
Occasionally we were forced into accompanying the rest of the group smuggling Bibles to the marginalized churches, always with great stealth, under cover of night. We followed circuitous routes that required us to change buses and then taxicabs, and then walk rapidly down twisty cobblestone alleyways. The entire trip was tinged with paranoia. During group meetings, whenever we discussed our itinerary or how best to transport our holy contraband, the chaperones actually turned up the radio and instructed us to huddle and whisper. The rooms, they told us, were bugged by the KGB.
One afternoon, after Monica and I had finished fucking on my hotel floor, she spied what she thought was a bug, planted under the radiator. Still undressed, she farted into the alleged listening device point-blank. Later, when Richie joined us for afternoon drinks, and with me egging her on, Monica got down on her hands and knees and began panting and moaning into the bug with comic mock lust. She clowned the part until she noticed the way I was watching her and her performance subtly shifted, turning more posed and serious. When Richie blacked out, I joined her back on the floor with a kind of zeal we were never able to conjur during the nightly prayer meetings. "We're on a mission from God," she said, unbuttoning my fly and pulling me on top of her. "Glasnost," I said.
Despite countless warnings by our chaperones that we were forbidden to sell any personal belongings, Monica let me and Ritchie know that she'd brought inventory she wanted to unload. Clothes, especially blue jeans were highly coveted by the black market droogs who loitered outside the hotels and preyed on naïve and greedy tourists. We'd heard horror stories about previous trips where students had been detained and questioned for days after fooling with the black market. Richie made for the door as soon as he saw Monica pull four brand new pairs of Levis out of her suitcase. She told me that I could take a cut if I helped her find a buyer. When I balked, she wrestled me down to the mattress and, pinning my arms with her shins, she pushed the crotch of her own Levis hard against my face, and gnawed at me through my pants 69-style until I relented. However, when it came down to it, I refused to keep her company in the hotel lobby whenever she tried to drum up business.
The night before we left Leningrad, we visited a decrepit but magnificent Orthodox cathedral, where the pews were filled with old women who waved their arms in religious ecstasy and whose wrinkle-carved faces ran with rivulets of tears. Despite being a possible atheist, I was moved, but perhaps as much by my own spoiled American hypocrisy. I had never known the meaning of faith or sacrifice and it was overwhelming to witness these congregants who had sacrificed their precious rights of political citizenship for worship. Riding in the back of a taxi on the long way back to our hotel, Monica and I shared a flask of vodka, and moved by the secrecy of our black market heist, the old women's passion, and the threat of being detained by the KGB, Monica brought herself off with my hand guided by her hand.
To get from Leningrad to Estonia we took an overnight train with dramatic brass railings and velvet-curtained windows along narrow oak paneled corridors that connected our private sleeping berths. Just as I was dozing off, Monica snuck into my berth. To keep from falling off my top bunk, while Richie snored below, we clung to each other, lulled by the racket-y-rack of the rails, intermittently touching and dropping off to sleep mid-grope. I remember waking to gentle kisses, or a nipple in my mouth or the sound of Monica faintly snoring.
Coming back from our last Bible smuggling operation, Monica and I ran into one of the droogs in the square outside our hotel. He was not the first; we'd been approached many times in Moscow and Leningrad by similar men wearing the same uniform: bright red Nike wind pants and matching sneakers. Smoking a rank cigarette, and tugging at a visible bulge in his crotch, he displayed for us a pocketful of medals emblazoned with images of Lenin. Even though you could get these from any street urchin for a stick of gum or a Marlboro, Monica acted interested, and as Richie and I moved off, she lingered behind, touching the pins that he held out for her in his upturned palm. A few minutes later she joined us, grinning mysteriously, wearing three Lenin pins on the lapel of her coat. An hour later when I went to her room, I found the man in the Nike wind pants kneeling in front of her bed (wind pants down around his ankles), the four pairs of jeans folded neatly on the chair beside him, another more rumpled and familiar pair on the floor by his shoes, and Monica underneath, getting pounded like a good little missionary.
That night we took a ferry across the Baltic Sea to return to Helsinki. It was a cold and moonless passage. Skipping the last prayer meeting, I was standing on the deck alone, staring into the black waves, eager to return home, when Monica appeared on the railing beside me. She gave me an envelope with a small stack of rubles.

About True North
TrueNorth provides companies with the resources & guidance needed to set up a workplace in Canada for employees impacted by new US and Canadian immigration rules.
Almost half of the startups based in Silicon Valley were founded by immigrants. And nearly all startups have been built with the help of international talent living in the US using what has been called the 'genius visa'. But new restrictions on the genius visa (technically called the H-1B) are causing some of the most dynamic startups in the world to re-think where they house their current and future employees.
TrueNorth is responding to this need and has emerged as a leading advocate for US firms who are looking for ways to ensure business continuity in the face of an uncertain immigration environment. TrueNorth provides companies with the resources and guidance needed to set up a workplace in Canada for employees impacted by these new rules. TrueNorth works with firms to set up a Canadian subsidiary for their operations. Once this is established, companies can transfer many of their employees to Canada using existing Canadian immigration practices.

The Portuguese Sundew Part 2
Kamil Pasek, Czech Exotic Plant Society
The Portuguese Sundew (Drosophyllum lusitanicum Link.) in nature and cultivationJan Flísek & Kamil Pásek
August 5,1999 Thursday
About one thirty in the morning we made a pit stop in front of the illuminated theatre in Malaga to brew the necessary coffee. There was a nighttime hustle and bustle in this place and the temperature was warm at around thirty degrees. Within two hours we had descended from 3100 m a.s.l. to 0 m a.s.l.. The change of 25°C between elevations in so short a time was really felt by us.
At four in the morning we finally found a suitable campsite near an abandoned dusty road winding its way to the low coastal hills between the cities of San Roque and Estepona. These hills are covered by dozens of wind power stations, which use the energy of all available wind from the sea to the land. At 4:30 we lay down in our tents near one of the wind power stations and fell asleep listening to the never-ending and not so silent sound made by the rotating vanes. At 8:30 we awoke and admired our beautiful view of the sea! During the 4 hours we spent camping, about 20 cars had come along for the nice view. Overall, our sleep was not a quiet one! We woke up to find we had camped along newly burnt cork woods, something we missed at four thirty in the morning. A decision was made to visit the most southern point of the European continent - the town of Tarifa - and then bathe along the border between the Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Ocean.
At 9:30 we were on a beach representing the most southern point of our expedition. A sprinkling of drunk Austrians and Frenchmen sleeping away their late night binges was all that existed for human life. Otherwise, there was no one anywhere. The bath in the sea was refreshing but cold (12°C). Early-morning clouds hid the sky covering nearby Africa. The ocean was turbulent and dark. We refuelled energy really needed for the upcoming day. We didn't know it then, but we would fondly remember the cool maritime morning and cold refreshing bath over the next few days!
A photo of our "group of four" was taken and, with a last glance towards Africa, said good bye to this beautiful place. Following the rocky Gibraltar shore, we turn off on to a road leading inland towards a Drosophyllum locality near the town of Algeciras. Shortly before lunch, the clouds disappeared and the sun began to beat down. People who love the sun and heat would really enjoy it here in the south. We decided to have lunch under the shadow of domesticated blue gums. A Drosophyllum locality was subsequently found without any problems.
The site consisted primarily of a sharp, uncovered, eroded slope arising from a landslide or mining. We had already seen the magnificent tall Drosophyllum plants from a distance, but up close found that the slope was covered with plants. The plants were generally widely dispersed but were also found growing nearby in clumps. We also found a few young plants, this

Egypt's Army Chief to Run for President
Egypt's interim Defense Minister Gen. Abdel Fattah el-Sisi will run for president in the upcoming elections, the Kuwaiti al-Seyassah newspaper reported on Thursday.
"Yes, the matter has been decided, and I have no choice but to respond to the call of the Egyptian people," the 59-year-old army chief told the newspaper.
"The call [of the people] has been heard everywhere and I will not reject it. I will seek a renewal of confidence of the people through free voting," he said.
The Egyptian populace endorsed el-Sisi for his key role in deposing Islamist President Mohammed Morsi, a senior member of the Muslim Brotherhood. Morsi was forced to step down in early July after millions of Egyptians took to the streets demanding his resignation.
During his short tenure as president, Morsi sought to impose the Brotherhood's fundamentalist lifestyle on the populace. Although predominantly Muslim, many Egyptians want the freedom to decide how to observe their faith.
Former Israeli ambassador to Egypt Zvi Mazel told CBN News Morsi and his government were in the throes of building an Islamic dictatorship.
"The Muslim Brotherhood was ready to kill 10,000 people," Mazel said. "If Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood would have stayed in power for another two years, the Brotherhood would have taken control of the army and the police, and the Egyptian people would have found themselves in an Iranian situation."
Meanwhile, the government declared the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist group and put Morsi and 12 co-defendants on trial for inciting to violence outside the presidential palace in December 2012, which led to many deaths.
El-Sisi is expected to resign his post as army chief before officially announcing his candidacy. His enormous popularity will likely make him the country's sixth military leader.
Egypt's Supreme Council of the Armed Forces endorsed his candidacy, calling it "a mandate and an obligation."

Olsson keeps his focus
Jonas Olsson believes Steve Clarke will do well at West Brom, but he will not make a decision on his future until after Euro 2012.
Last Updated: 13/06/12 11:46am
Jonas Olsson believes new West Brom boss Steve Clarke will do well at The Hawthorns, but he will not make a decision on his future until after Euro 2012.
Olsson has only one year left of his current Albion deal and has been strongly linked with a summer move to Tottenham.
But the Sweden defender re-iterated he will make no decision on his future until after the championships as his country prepare to take on former Baggies boss Roy Hodgson's England in Friday's crucial Group D encounter in Kiev.
He said: "It's not in my focus right now, my future at West Brom.
"I'm just going to focus on this tournament and the game on Friday against England.
Nothing changed
"I've said all along I would think about my own position after the European Championships and nothing has changed.
"I'm just concentrating on trying to help Sweden get the two wins we need after losing to Ukraine to ensure we qualify without having to worry about other results."
But the Swede backed Clarke to be a success at The Hawthorns.
"I think Steve Clarke can do very well for us," said Olsson. "I spoke to him briefly the other day and he seems like a nice man.
"He has done well with the teams he has coached so I am happy.
"I think it is a good appointment and I think he will do well for West Brom."

Product Lifecycle with State of the Art Technology
State of the art technology is how most clients would describe Epsilon Electronics automotive audio and visual products. The ambitious renown company is recognized for having an aggressive approach to their marketing strategies and being successfully competitive by always staying ahead of the game with their innovative discoveries in automotive and household applications. To remain competitive, the company needs to introduce new campaigns or products at key times to attract as many people as they can.
Epsilon Electronics has recently invested in a new section simply dedicated to understanding trends in automotive fashions and human wants and needs. They do this by using and analyzing the product lifecycle (PLM). This means that the department is dedicated to planning the entire creation f a product from when the idea is designed to when they will launch it in the market.
However, this is a process that requires a lot of hands on deck so when Epsilon Electronics had to build their office space for this new department, they made sure each sub-department was in the same wing. It is therefore easier to coordinate with other departments on tasks and give proper information. The information travels quicker and each department is likely to be more on time with their tasks.
Although the product lifecycle process looks practical at face value, especially in large corporations, it can be confusing, frustrating, and easily poorly executed with a lack of proper communication. Patience and effective communication will ensure that tasks are done before deadlines and no department is disappointed or thrown under the bus. Everyone communicates and everyone does their part. Epsilon Electronics is a perfect example of a company that has integrated the product life cycle right and effectively.

Are St. Louis Cardinals fans seeing the end for Adam Wainwright as a competitive starting pitcher in the Major Leagues? While it's early (a phrase which will find its way into every Cardinals piece the next 30 days), the warnings are blaring on the arm of the rotation's elder statesman.
In the fictional world of Philadelphia, Rocky Balboa told Adonis Creed that time is undefeated; that father time catches up to even the greatest of athletes. Rocky was talking about Adonis' father, Apollo. Can the same idea be applied to 35-year-old Wainwright?
The pitcher formerly known as the ace of the staff hasn't looked good through three April starts, and the numbers show a continuation of last year's struggles. The fastball sitting straight on a tee while the curveball (once known as the silver bullet in Waino's arsenal) getting clobbered when it hangs inside the kill zone at the plate. Whatever Wainwright is trying to cut at the plate isn't following through, because hitters aren't being fooled by either of his pitches.
A special feature on Brooks Baseball shows Wainwright's pitches are becoming more human every start. "His sinker is never swung at and missed compared to other starters, and it has very little sinking action compared to a true sinker. His cutter has below average velo, while his fourseam fastball is an extreme flyball pitch."
In summary, Waino's once prominent pitches are being hit harder and more frequently than ever before. He is throwing the same stuff, but the effectiveness has decayed, and hitters are having more success. The guy who started 33 games and won 20 of them back in 2014 while posting a 2.38 ERA (with a filthy 2.88 fielding independent pitching mark) has turned into a 4.30 ERA arm with a running time of five innings tops.
After dominating in April of 2015 as the de facto leader of men on the pitching staff, Waino is a punching bag on the mound just two years later. The Achilles injury may have stomped one of his last stellar seasons, or it may have merely fast forwarded the tape a little.
2016's full dose of Wainwright revealed a much different pitcher, and the statistics don't lie. Wainwright led the National League in earned runs allowed (102), hits (220), and gave up a career high 22 home runs. While he won 13 games, Wainwright's earned run average ballooned to 4.62, but he could still strike out a decent amount of hitters. In fact, Wainwright's strikeouts per nine innings rose from 7.1 to 7.3 last season. He was simply catching too much of the zone.
2017 hasn't been any prettier, with the innings pitched decreasing, and the batting practice continuing. Wainwright has already allowed 24 hits in just 13.2 innings pitched, and the ERA isn't even worth mentioning, because it resembles a football score.
It hasn't helped that Wainwright has faced three deluxe teams in the Chicago Cubs, Washington Nationals, and New York Yankees so far in 2017, but the schedule won't get any easier moving forward. But should it even matter? Wainwright is the highest paid Cardinal player, so hoping he can topple the Milwaukee Brewers this weekend shouldn't be a huge gamble, but it looks that way.
Wainwright's contract runs out after the 2018 season, and there is little doubt that the Cardinals and the veteran pitcher will part ways at that time. Wainwright will be 37 years old in August of 2018, so the chances of bringing back a quickly declining pitcher at that age are slim to none. The question now becomes how much does Waino have left to offer.
Last September, I argued with my former co-host Matt Whitener on our 590 The Fan radio show if Wainwright was still ace material. He answered that question for us with his work down the stretch. As 2017 starts to grow legs, the question will be different, yet carry more dire flavors: what can Waino give the Cards the rest of the season, and what about next year? He's on the books for $39-million for the final two seasons. As most pitchers have proven to their teams over the years, the latter stages of a contract are far from the brightest.
Can he make some adjustments and be better? Don't count on it. These are the big leagues, and aging pitchers don't get in-season makeovers to right the ship. The winter and spring are gone, and Waino is what he is for the season. He's a bulldog on the mound for life, and has made several tweaks to his delivery and arsenal over the last season alone. He will continue to make the effort, but hoping for different results may be a stretch. Against a quality club, the Cards can only hope for five innings with the team still in the game. That is the absolute best.
It's not easy watching this unfold, because of how strong Wainwright once was on a pitching mound. He's thrown two of the biggest pitches in franchise history, but watching his curve to Carlos Beltran in 2006 is like watching Robert De Niro act in Martin Scorsese's "Mean Streets"; it's far different and less painful than watching DeNiro act with Zac Efron in a trashy comedy called "Dirty Grandpa".
On Sunday night in the dugout at Yankee Stadium, Wainwright looked up at the field and the pitching mound after being taken out of the game with a few shakes of the head and somber look on his face. He had given up 10 hits in just under five innings of action, and looked like a man with no answers.
As my good Twitter friend Pete Schmitt said about Wainwright on Sunday night: "this isn't a trend, it's the end."
Only time will tell what Adam Wainwright has to offer, but right now, it doesn't look like much. Oh boy, how the mighty have fallen. Give another notch on the belt to father time.

Yet another win at the Euroes, when England and Slovakia played a 0-0 draw yesterday. We had three predictions. X/X at HT/FT, the score 0-0 and draw at full-time. All went straight to the back, and today we follow up with Poland.
Poland has done very well, played a great game against Germany which they could have easily won if they just managed to score on one of their big, big chances. Today they are up against Ukraine, a team who has been so poor and a team who has absolutely no chance of qualifying unless they are winning with a lot of goals.
Click here to bet --->
We don't think that Ukraine have the players or the motivation to give Poland some resistance today, and that's why we are going with Poland. We could easily see this match go with a BIG victory for Poland, but the odds on a normal victory is high and we go with that.
Bet on Poland to beat Ukraine at odds 1.95 at bet365.

According to Snyder, server consolidation through virtualization is a good first step on the path to Green IT, although you should also start working with outside entities, such as utilities (more on that later). Breen at the Yankee Group cautioned that you need to have a sense of purpose before starting a Green IT initiative. What does Green IT mean for your organization? he asked. Is Green IT just a bunch of signs and a feel-good story for your employees? If so, dont invest. If you can actually save on electricity, cooling, floor space, etc., then do it. However, you need to demonstrate ROI.
According to a report by IDC commissioned by Redemtech, a provider of corporate computer recycling and reuse services, Green IT efforts should go well beyond simple power reductions. Companies should study the entire equipment lifecycle, from how a piece of hardware was produced on through to its environmental impact when disposed. The study, Beyond Power: ITs Roadmap to Sustainable Computing, advises organizations to first develop best practices for sustainability, rather than approaching sustainability in a piecemeal fashion, which is common today.
5. Found Money - A benefit of that final piece of Green IT advice, donation, has the added benefit of providing a tax write-off. I asked Snyder of KPMG what he has seen to be the most common mistake companies make when cutting IT costs. Leaving money on the table, he said.
Are their tax write-offs, tax incentives or even utility-sponsored incentives that you qualify for? For instance, PG&E in California will subsidize virtualization efforts subsidize virtualization efforts.
Many utilities give incentives when organizations agree to cut back on power usage during peak usage times. This can be as simple as turning out every other row of lights. Visit the Database of State Incentives for Renewables & Efficiency to see whats available in your area.
Gold Key's Prestipino mentioned that his company is exploring these sorts of incentives, while also pursuing other state-sponsored ones. In Virginia, companies can get incentives for allowing workers to spend part of the week working from home.

To prove its critics wrong GM will demonstrate that their latest plug-in hybrid, the Chevrolet Volt, can make it to dealerships for the 2011 model year, with the release of its comprehensive action plan to enable cities to prepared for plug-in electric cars.
The plan includes partnership with local communities like San Francisco and Washington D.C. where there is a heightened interest in hybrid vehicles. The objective is to have a plug-in infrastructure by the time Volt is ready for the market in 2010.
Besides the recognition of key markets (San Francisco and Washington DC), GM also recognizes key parties that will play an important part in the development of the plan, including state, city, and count governments, electric companies, public utility officials, permit and code authorities, clean city coalitions, local employers, universities and early electric adopters. There have been positive moves from the Mayor of San Francisco, Gavin Newson, toward the GM plan.
Another challenge faced by the GM plan is how to attract buyers to buy plug-in EVs, thus incentives have been considered including lowered electricity rates, options for renewable electricity, and public and workplace charging infrastructure.
Also considered is the provision for exclusively plug-in EV lanes where vehicles can be driven. A tax incentive of $7500 has been approved by the government for buyers of plug-in EVs.
Currently, GM is working with the state of Michigan, the Society of Automotive Engineers, the Electric Power Research Institute, and an alliance of over 40 utilities to make this planned infrastructure reach reality. By doing this, GM is leading in the creation of benchmarks and a feasible infrastructure for all plug-in hybrids in the future both near and far.

CHVRCHES have spoken out in admiration of the bands that they'll be sharing festival stages with this summer - most notably Haim, Paramore and Queens of the Stone Age.
The Scottish electro-pop trio are frequenting many festivals this summer, as they look ahead to rounding off their campaign for their debut album, "The Bones of What You Believe" - which Gigwise named the best album of 2013.
Speaking to Gigwise about which bands they could imagine headlining festivals in the future, synth-player Martin Doherty replied: "Haim, blatantly. Anyone who has seen their live show will know that it's destined to go all the way.
"They're charismatic, there's so much energy and they're a proper band that brings it all on stage and really go for it. They can whip up a crowd."
When asked about their favourite festival bands, singer Lauren Mayberry replied: "I could watch Queens of the Stone Age headline every festival, and that would be fine. In my mind, they're one of the last great rock bands. I watched them at Coachella and it was brilliant."
She continued: "I loved that band when I was 15 and I love them now, because it's so honest. They don't really give a sh-t whether people like it or not, but it's great that they're so happy they can play and not care. In terms of great frontmen, hats off to Josh Homme.
"I was listening to a Josh Homme interview and he said 'good drummer, good band - great drummer, classic band'. Fair enough. They've had an excellent array of drummers and the guy they have now is fantastic. You have to be pretty rad."
Martin Doherty added: "They're one of those bands that get to this great level without compromising. They're like Radiohead, Depeche Mode who can play to 40,000 people with music that's not necessarily designed for that."
When asked about the initial controversy of Paramore headlining Reading and Leeds festival with QOTSA this summer, Lauren Mayberr replied: "If you don't think that Paramore are cool, then you go see them live, their technical chops are insane and her vocals are ridiculous. I've tried to do them in the shower several times.
"Her range is massive and the power on that is insane. After a band, stuff that was 'emo' became 'uncool' because the media deemed that it was over once the My Chemical Romance bubble burst, but I think that you shouldn't operate your life like that, you should write what you want to write. They make really great records.
Martin added: "You can tell when someone has been, Pro-Tooled to get to that level on a studio recording, and you can tell when someone is just that good. Hayley Williams is an example of someone who is just that good."

More categories at this year's Fashions on the Field at the Glen Innes races on Saturday, mean more chances to win a best dressed prize.
This year the event is sponsored by White Rock Wind Farm.
The first prize is $500 cash for the main categories, including best dressed lady, gent and couple.
Glen Innes Jockey Club secretary Leonie Moffitt said this year, as the club was supporting the Westpac Rescue Helicopter, there would be a red and yellow theme for the races.
"Including a prize for best dressed in yellow and red in the fashions on the field competition," Miss Moffitt said.
This year there are more categories with prizes for best dressed teens and children as well.
Last year a crowd of more than 1500 people enjoyed the sunny weather at the Glen Innes Cup and witnessed Esk woman Brenda Richard take first place in the fashion on the field. Glen Innes local Nicole Watson took out second place.
Wearing a classic black and white dress Ms Richard said she was thrilled to win first prize.
"The day has been so enjoyable, I came down here to spend some time with friends and it is a fantastic event," she told the Examiner last year.
"Glen Innes should be very proud of itself; the atmosphere here is one of fun and good vibes."
Local MP Adam Marshall will once again be one of the judges for the day.

If you loved John Saladino's book, Villa, you will love, The Home Within Us, by Bobby McAlpine. This most wonderful book is filled with homes that are timeless, worldly, romantic, soothing, and have a sense of history. I love the juxtaposition of rustic wood and stone with velvet and crystal shown throughout the book. The rooms are peaceful. They are not over-decorated, but warm and interesting. Each item, whether chair, urn or sconce, is art. Beautifully done. Recommended - C. J. Adams

Favorite Drink(s): Chianti
Favorite Book(s): May I Feel Said He. Poems by e.e.cummings
Favorite TV Show(s): I Love Lucy and The Twilight Zone
Favorite Film(s): Being There
1) What have we seen you in (TV, movies, men's magazines, etc.)?
Films: Be Cool, God's Waiting List, Instant Trauma. Upcoming: Memoirs of a Geisha. TV: Spin City, Bold and the Beautiful.
2) What was your big break?
Being cast for the First National Touring Company of Miss Saigon. The first time I set foot on that stage, I found my wings.
3) Do you drink wine? If so, how often?
I love red wine. I drink it about three times a week with dinner and candles, pretending I'm in Paris with a cute French boy.
4) How's your love life?
I just exited a long-term relationship, so I'm a little rusty in the dating department. Dating LA boys has been bizarre and colorful, to say the least. I went on a blind date recently where the guy talked about fruits and vegetables all night.
5) Ever use wine or food to lure someone into bed? (Details, details!)
Once I had personalized fortune cookies made for a sexy scavenger hunt. Each cookie had a tantalizing clue describing what I was going to do to him when he found me. By the time he saw me waiting for him in bed, he was so revved up all I had to do was call his name.
6) What's the most embarrassing food/drink-related experience you've had (and why)?
I'm very clumsy and once spilled wine on a date three times in ONE night. I thought there was no chance I'd get a second date. Later that evening, I tripped, fell on my skirt-clad butt, and accidentally revealed my pink panties. Not only did I get a second date, we ended up dating for three years!
7) Would you be turned off by a screw cap on an expensive bottle of wine?
Opening a bottle of wine with a screw cap is like having sex without the foreplay. It works, but it's just not the same.
8) You were on Star Search. Do you regret not saving yourself for American Idol?
When I did Star Search as a kid, I had a huge crush on Ed McMahon. I was convinced we were going to fall in love, marry and move to Hawaii. No way I would trade Star Search for American Idol. Plus, Simon Cowell isn't my type.
9) You list toe tricks and animal sounds on your resume. Please elaborate.
I was an only child, so I had a lot of time on my hands. I had really strong toes from ballet dancing, so my mother would sit in a chair and I'd practice unzipping and zipping, unbuttoning and buttoning shirts and untying and tying shoelaces all with my toes. Growing up, I was also into animal sounds. I'd mimic and match, and eventually I created my own audio animal farm! It's pretty entertaining. Get me to a party, give me a few glasses of wine and I'm a party animal. Literally.
10) You've got great hair. D'ya ever wash it in beer? Light, dark or wheat?
My mother told me sake works miracles on hair. I tried washing it with hot sake once and my hair looked so good I could've booked a Pantene commercial. Unfortunately, washing your hair in sake is pretty pricey. I should try beer instead...much more cost-effective.

Do you still have the motors and the other goodies??
No greater love can a man have than this, that he give his life for a friend.
Yes. I have two horizontal boring units (standard power). One bores the X and one bores the Y. Both have the same keyway mounting setup as the routers. Both are independently powered. I would let them go for $300 for the pair. I wish I had the time to put together a custom cnc router of my own with this stuff; I just don't have the time.

I love warm salads and they are nice and light when your craving a warm and hearty meal in the cold winter months. Wednesday night dinners are always a challenge for me. I do yoga at the gym from 6:30 till 8 and I don't get home till around 8:15. I absolutely love going to class and am so lucky to find such a great instructor, but it happens to fall at the worst time. I can't eat dinner before for obvious reasons, and when I get home its pretty late to eat (for me anyways) so I want something quick and light. This salad is the perfect dinner for my yoga nights.
There is really not much to this salad, but adding the sausage and beans fills you up. I love how all the flavors marry together. I ended up having extra of the sausage and bean mixture so I ended up mixing it with spinach and a whole grain rice and quinoa mix. I then stuffed it into peppers and baked it tonight for dinner. The stuffed peppers came out wonderful. Unfortunately, we ate them all before I was able to photo them so I won't be able to post them until make the recipe again.

(Recasts, adds details)
Sept 22 (Reuters) - J.P. Morgan Securities said it saw too many risks for the U.S. chicken industry and cited concerns about a slowdown in domestic demand, while initiating coverage of three chicken producers, including Tyson Foods Inc (TSN.N).
Analyst Ken Goldman started Tyson, the largest U.S. meat producer, with an "overweight" rating. He initiated smaller rivals Sanderson Farms Inc (SAFM.O), the No. 4 U.S. chicken producer, with an "underweight" rating and Pilgrim's Pride Corp PPC.N, the No. 1 chicken producer, with "neutral."
The analyst said he expects chicken exports to suffer if the dollar strengthens and if Russia limits chicken imports.
"We wonder not only whether production cuts will be sustained but also if they are sufficient to drive margins back to historical norms," Goldman wrote in a note to clients.
Russia is the biggest market for U.S. poultry exporters. The United States last year exported nearly $1 billion worth of poultry, mainly frozen chicken leg quarters, and other meat products to Russia.
Goldman said he was more pessimistic about Pilgrim's Pride's near-term fundamentals than Tyson's as the latter is less tethered to chicken, relative to its peers, and has large, profitable pork and beef businesses.
Pilgrim's Pride, however, has a solid business model and is poised for continued growth in the longer-term, he added.
Goldman expects Sanderson Farms to be hurt, more than Pilgrim's or Tyson, by the risks surrounding the chicken industry. About 25 percent of Sanderson's exports go to Russia, he noted.
"If Russia follows through on its threats to cut chicken imports from the U.S., Sanderson would have to find new homes for a larger percent of meat than its peers," he said.
Goldman expects Tyson to earn 41 cents a share in the fourth quarter. He forecast a loss of 56 cents a share for Pilgrim's Pride and a loss of 34 cents a share for Sanderson during the quarter.
