Show Sponsors 2009
The Royal College of Art gratefully acknowledges the substantial help and support we have received – in cash, in kind and other ways – from our patrons, donors, sponsors and partners.
At exhibition time and throughout the year, we depend on their generosity. In particular, we would like to place on record our thanks to the following for their very special commitment to the College:
Mr Basil H Alkazzi The late Mr Tom Bendhem Eric and Jean Cass Serenella and David Ciclitira Clore Foundation Sir Terence Conran and The Conran Foundation Sir James Dyson and the James Dyson Foundation FT Weekend Helen Hamlyn Foundation Homebase Interbrand London Development Agency Man Group plc Charitable Trust Microsoft Research Labs Royal Mail Philatelic Sector Sir Jocelyn Stevens Fund Fred and Pat Tuckman Valpak Ltd Garfield Weston Foundation Withers LLP Matthews Wrightson Charity Trust
As anybody who has read a newspaper recently will know, we are living in quite demented times and 2009 feels so very different to last year. The world is changing in ways we cannot yet imagine but now is not a time for pessimism. If you are brave and believe in your work then people will always be keen to support you because if talented young people are afraid to do things and thrive on their creativity then we will slip further and deeper into the gloom. In the UK, where the economic results of creativity are singularly important, we need young artists and designers more than ever – to imagine a better future that works and is more human-centred. That's why I am delighted that The Conran Foundation is helping to give form and shape to that future by continuing to support the summer Graduate Show at the Royal College of Art.
Another way this year is pivotal is that it's the end of an era, with Sir Christopher Frayling stepping down as Rector. Christopher is a formidable force for good and a great friend who will be dearly missed by everybody here. But we look forward to the future of the Royal College of Art in the very capable hands of the new Rector, Dr Paul Thompson, and also in the works of these young artists and designers who have the talent and energy to make a difference to the world we live in.
Sir Terence Conran
Interbrand is honoured to be a sponsor of this year's prestigious Royal College of Art Summer Show, and we are proud to be associated with such a well-respected brand. Interbrand partnered with the RCA in 2008, and valued the brand at £57 million. While we founded the practice of placing a financial value on brands some 20 years ago, our partnership with the RCA was the first time that we have applied our proven valuation methodology to a Higher Education institution. The valuation has since proved critical in supporting investment decisions and securing funding for the College. We feel that this work will encourage other Higher Education institutions to see the value in embarking on a similar exercise. Again, we are extremely excited to be partnering with the RCA and look forward to this year's event.
Julian Dailly Director of Valuation Interbrand
FT Weekend is pleased to support the RCA Summer Show.
Intelligent and accomplished writing about the arts is a vital element of what we offer our weekend readers, and we have one of the finest groups of critics working for any newspaper. We are sure there will be great interest in the Summer Show among FT Weekend readers and are happy to have the opportunity to collaborate with the RCA.
Andy Davis Editor FT Weekend
Homebase is delighted to be a sponsor of SHOW RCA. As the UK's number one home enhancement retailer, we know all about helping people to make a house a home through the creative use of colour, art and design.
These elements are at the heart of every home and help to individualise empty rooms and bare spaces to reflect the personalities of their owners.
SHOW RCA demonstrates the "art of the possible" – and we hope it will encourage us all to be braver and more confident in expressing our personalities creatively – both inside and outside the home.
Creativity and imagination are two of our nation's greatest strengths and we are sure that this will be clearly demonstrated in this Show.
Paul Loft Managing Director

Through the years, women's roles in wartime have evolved—not that women ever have been inclined to just stand by.
During the American Revolution, Nancy Morgan Hart was famously depicted with a musket, defending her home and children from British soldiers in Georgia.
In World War II, members of the Women Army Corps worked in a support capacity, while in Iraq and Afghanistan women have served closer to the front.
Those roles evolved further Thursday when Defense Secretary Leon Panetta signed an order ending the Pentagon's ban on women serving in combat.
Here's a collection of images showing some of the ways women have served their country in the U.S. military:

We are showing you the Taiwanese version of our site: would you prefer a different location?
Rules are Rules
WORDS: Collyn Ahart
Every so often a list of "rules" surfaces about how to ride a bicycle. Which height of socks to wear. What length of shorts. What colour isotonic beverage. What exact shape of mud-guard. What kind of coffee to drink and almost certainly what to name your first-born son (higher points awarded for more obscure racing-legend dedications).
65 miles into 130, our motley crew of mix-matched kit, ankle socks, mud, bug and gel-smeared faces as the dewey sun beat down through rainbow shadowed trees, there were very few rules any of us cared about.
I remember my first jersey: a neon yellow so-called 'gift' from my father. I would wear it with baggy spandex shorts (no padding), complete with pink and black leopard print. All knees and elbows, they fit me about as well as I fit my old blue Raleigh racer with its seat post rammed down to its lowest millimeter. The obligatory peanut butter and jelly sandwich stuffed into my back pocket swung around to my side, which I systematically heaved back into position every 18 pedal strokes. Too small for proper cleats, my running shoes back then were purchased on their ability to become compact, laces tucked in, easily slotted into pedal cages.
Nineteen years ago this month I took off on my bike to ride the 11 miles into town by myself to celebrate my 10th birthday. I had to take a little break at the five-mile mark to eat my sandwich, stretch my legs and check my bike over. No punctures! There was no cell-phone … I was free! I was celebrating a double-digit birthday! I was almost a teenager! When I finally arrived in town, I learned the first rule of cycling.
While the days of pink leopard print are far behind me, the only rules that matter haven't changed much:
1: Tell your mother where you're going and what time you'll be home. This applies until your 18th birthday and over every family holiday for the rest of your life.
2: Pack a sandwich. Nutella is an option resulting in extra points.
3: Bring a friend. They will inevitably eat half your sandwich, which should be cut down the middle for ease of sharing.
All other rules are variable.
The first thing I learned working at a fashion magazine was that an abundance of rules are for those lacking in confidence. White after Labor Day? Totally an option. Spots and stripes?… clashing can be a good thing. Pink and orange… have you seen any Jil Sander lately? The most influential people live above the rules. They know their bodies and they challenge the norm. They know what's appropriate but refuse to be slaves to the dress code. Looking good doesn't require rules… it requires confidence.
5,000 miles into my year and the only rule I have now about what I wear when I cycle is that if I have to think about what I'm wearing, I've failed. If the shorts cut into my legs, I've failed. If I'm too cold or too hot or too wet, I've failed. If I can't get anything into my back pockets, I've failed. But everything else is just me.

Pockets on rapha jerseys can be a little restrictive when it comes to getting a serious load of sandwiches onboard…
Bruce Rychlik
10th August 2011 03:16pm
I agree with the statement that "rules are for those lacking in confidence". After five years on a bike, I have (finally) begun to loosen up a bit - and I owe that simply to the fact that I have worked on becoming a better cyclist – because I feel that speaks more than anything you ride and wear. However I must give Rapha (and countless other companies and people) credit for showing (through their Continental route write-ups and films and their Randonnees) one can cycle for pure unbridled enjoyment and do it differently. If you work at becoming a strong cyclist you will simply enjoy cycling all the more. And then – hey – why not treat your self to a cool ride and kit.

Italy Counts on the Allgäu Region
Christian Albertini, owner and manager of M.T.S. (Mobile Test Station S.r.l.) in Bussolengo, has many years of experience in the industry. The Albertini-Group was founded in 1960 by his father. In addition to real estate agencies, 4 vehicle service centers in Northern Italy are the focus of the business activities.
In 1998 several mobile test centers were added where vehicles over 3,500 kg – and special vehicles – can be tested directly at the shipping companies or in the workshops. Thus, an efficient test procedure in accordance with traffic and transport laws is possible.
Today 3 trucks with mobile test equipment for external test procedures are part of M.T.S.'s equipment. They support the traffic police by assisting with toll controls, and parking lot and freeway ramp controls. Furthermore, two large trailers, equipped with professional testing technology are used for conducting safety controls.
In 2010 the innovative company realized a new project: the Albertini Group created the largest private test center in Italy. 3,000 m² area for vehicle inspections, 500 m² office space and 16,000 m² developed land on which 6,000-10,000 vehicle inspections can be efficiently carried out. Vehicles with a gross weight of 3,500 kg, motorcycles, 3-wheelers, 4-wheelers and quads can be tested.
Christian Albertini is well aware that size is not defined by square meters. And after careful market research for a professional technology partner he chose MAHA. As worldwide market leader, known for the best technology, excellent service, high expertise and enormous experience potential we at MAHA meet the highest standards of quality. And this is exactly what Christian Albertini's intention are.
Special thanks goes to Pesci Attrezzature Srl for the technical management and SIPAV S.p.A. which supported the Pesci Attrezzature Srl team in technical and commercial matters.
MAHA supplied:
- Roller brake tester IW7 Eurosystem (TRUCK)
- Roller brake tester IW2 Eurosystem (CAR)
- Shock absorber tester MSD 3000, with noise search option
- Side-slip tester MINC PROFI
- Roller brake tester IW10 Motorcycle
- Dynamometer MFP 250 for Two-wheeler
- Emission tester for gasoline motors MGT 5
- Emission tester for diesel vehicles MDO 2 LON
- Headlight tester

EU industry boss defies German pressure on car coolants
Automakers using R134a, the former industry standard for air conditioning, may face daily fines. |
BRUSSELS (Reuters) -- The European Union's Industry Commissioner Antonio Tajani say he will enforce new rules that ban extremely potent greenhouse gases in car air-cooling systems, defying opposition from the German government and the country's automakers.
Daimler has led resistance to using an alternative, less-polluting coolant made by U.S. supplier Honeywell International Inc., which Daimler says is dangerously flammable.
German ministers have written to the Commission asking for a temporary suspension of the new law. Tajani said he had to listen, but he would begin infringement proceedings against any member state that did not comply.
"I am saying very clearly that the directive is in force and has been since January 1. There is no extension. The directive must be respected throughout the European Union," Tajani told the environment committee of the European Parliament. "Since there was some information from Germany there was a problem, I am obliged to ask for information, but it's not giving them time. I am not weak."
A separate Commission statement underlined that any carmaker using R134a, the former industry standard for air conditioning, would face infringement procedures that can lead to daily fines.
British Liberal Democrat member of the European Parliament Chris Davies has followed the car air-conditioning systems debate since it first began 2003. He welcomed Tajani's stance. "The Commission position is very strong indeed. In fact so strong, it amounts to a declaration of war on Daimler," he said. "New models using the old refrigerant must not be sold."
Daimler is not only at odds with the European Commission, but also with Honeywell, which developed the coolant, adopted as the new industry standard, in partnership with Dupont. Honeywell says its coolant is highly efficient and safe and has been subject to comprehensive testing. Named HFO-1234yf, the Honeywell fluid is only four times more potent than CO2 and therefore easily meets the EU requirement that bans air conditioning fluids with a global warming potential exceeding 150 times the impact of CO2. The old standard R1234a is more than 1,000 times more potent than CO2.
In a Daimler test of HFO-1234yf last year involving a simulated leak, the new coolant burst into flames.
"We feel that the security concerns raised by some car producers should be taken very seriously," an EU diplomat, speaking on condition of anonymity, said. "Therefore, we feel that it would not serve the desired purpose if we forced car producers to use HFO-1234yf."
The Commission does not prescribe which coolant is used provided that it meets the criteria, but the problem is that any alternative Daimler can develop will take time.
Earlier this month, Daimler said it had tasked its engineers with developing a completely new air-conditioning system that employs non-flammable carbon dioxide as an alternative to Honeywell's refrigerant. At the time, Daimler research and development chief Thomas Weber said that rival carmakers Audi, BMW, Porsche and Volkswagen had also agreed "to press ahead with this sustainable and safe solution" with Daimler.

Millions of women enter what is called mid-life (over age 40) every year. Speaker, writer, and "Sister in the Journey" Ronna Snyder shares how these women can avoid a crisis and discover instead a joyful beginning of a richer and deeper way to live. Ronna found herself going from doctor to doctor trying to find someone who could tell her what was wrong with her. She heard words like fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, and depression before finally hearing a specialist on the radio listing all of her symptoms and realizing that she was experiencing the beginning of menopause. With all the changes this time of life brings - kids leaving home, parents needing care, new marriage roles, etc. - the turmoil and addition of the physical and emotional effects of menopause can seem overwhelming. Ronna writes with humor, faith, and transparency to help other women face down their fears and live with passion and fullness.

Sail-World.com : Formula 18 Nationals - it never pours it reigns
Formula 18 Nationals - it never pours it reigns
'Down but not out - Rod Waterhouse and Chris Way are the leading Masters - Australian Formula 18 National Championships' Mark Rothfield
There were card games all morning and snakes'n'ladders on the race course during an intriguing, rain-interrupted second day of the 2013 Australian Formula 18 National Championships on Lake Macquarie NSW.
After a bright and breezy start to the regatta, where racing was eventually suspended due to 25-knot winds, the scene at Mannering Park Amateur Sailing Club was one of complete contrast – steady rain and glassy waters beneath a breathless sky.
A fickle sou'easter eventually filled in at around 1.30pm, and competitors dialled down their rig tuning for light airs. Two races were eventually sailed, with positions swinging wildly throughout as the more tactical sailors got a chance to shine.
Holding a four-point advantage, Jason Waterhouse and Brett Goodall immediately stamped their authority on the regatta, winning Race 4 in style.

A general recall was need for the first start as the fleet was itching to get underway, however the second attempt was clean. Adam Beattie, sailing with Jamie Leitner, was first to hook into the breeze on the left side of the course and led at the top mark from Waterhouse/Goodall and the Italian team of Matteo Ferraglia and Lorenzo Bianchini.
Masters Rod Waterhouse and Chris Way were showing all their wile and guile, rounding sixth in the 36-boat fleet … only to be 15th by race's end.
Son Jason Waterhouse grabbed the lead from Beattie after a blistering downwind leg and cleared away to a 45-second win over the Italians, followed by Queenslanders Matt Homan and Adrian Forset.
Beattie slipped to eighth after leading early, while the father-and-son combination of Brett and Lachie White grabbed a creditable seventh placing on their Hobie Wildcat … at just 14, Lachie is the youngest sailor competing at the nationals.
Race 2 saw two general recalls and a further wait as the race committee altered the course. Rain settled in for the afternoon as well, but Homan quickly proved that his first race result was no fluke.
Sailing a 12-year-old Capricorn Mk1 cat, he and Forset got into perfect synch with the shifts and led handsomely at the top mark. They were followed around by Brett Burvill and Ryan Duffield from WA in their Windrush Edge, then Adam Beattie. The Italians were fifth and Waterhouse was eighth.

There were ladders aplenty on the next downwind leg as Adam Beashel and crew Grant Pellew crept into contention and Ferraglia/Bianchini climbed to third. Homan held a 40-second advantage going into the final leg and was never headed, however fortunes fluctuated wildly for the rest of the fleet.
First, Waterhouse and Goodall played their out-of-jail card by gybing immediately at the mark and threading through the starboard tackers towards the wind line. They flew home to finish third, just metres behind the Italians who'd also done a Houdini impersonation.
Arguably the most pain was suffered by Beashel/Pellew as they slipped from second to ninth place.

It left three crews with four points for the day – Waterhouse/Goodall, Ferraglia/Bianchini and Homan/Forset – but with a discard counted it was the overnight leaders who had stretched their margin to eight points over Burvill/Duffield and Beattie/Leitner.
'We weren't in the best shape during the second race but the boat has really good downwind speed and caught up nicely. Our goal is top three in all the races because they're a keeper, particularly with the drops,' Waterhouse said.
'In our last regatta we didn't go so well in the light so it's a big confidence booster. We'd thought the breeze might fill so we left the mast rake back but eased off the diamond tension to make the sail a bit fuller.'
Matt Homan was 'stoked' with his win in an older design: 'We had a good start and just tried to stay in front from there, although it's a bit hard in that breeze. There were some big gusts coming down and we kept trying to find them.'
Ferraglia was also smiling after a consistent performance in a boat he'd barely sailed. 'The course was very tactical today,' he said. 'Our crew work was fast, our tactics were good, and the boat was also really fast – we are still getting used to it.

'I'm a bit sad, now, that we capsized and had an OCS yesterday, because otherwise we'd be doing really well.'
While Rod Waterhouse and Chris Way are still leading the Masters division, Way said their day had more downs than ups. 'It was tricky … it was one of those days. The wind was shifting through 45 degrees and there were lots of holes, so if you were caught on the wrong side you were out of the game. The way these boats accelerate they can really punish you if miss the pressure.'
The regatta, sponsored by John Cootes Furniture Warehouse, concludes tomorrow. For full results see the Mannering Park Amateur Sailing Club website -

Damn, them had to be some big boys!
I heard on the wind that "Jamal" was a pretty stand up guy who had gotten into trouble when he was younger and had reformed, finished school and went to college. He was no dummy, I can tell you.
I wish I new what he was up to now, since I have not worked for that company in over 5 years. "Aunite" was a real sweet lady. And I mean "lady" in every sense of the word. She was always polite, never demanding and had those old time manners one does not see in people anymore.

Nothing really gross in this one, just a tale of the bizarre and ever mysterious nature of man.
I had been working at my ex employer's for about three months when this occurred. I had been repairing units in the basement repair shop and going on the road with the "rehab" tech for the company. His job was to fit wheels chairs and the like to the user and their needs but was the only one in the company who had the time to show me the ropes or had any knowledge of what was out there. My boss also did not want me on my own until they had a vehicle ready and made sure I knew enough to be able to handle what came at me. And trust me, I was NOT ready. I could have been there for a year and not been ready for what lay before me in the months and years ahead.
The day before this even went down, the rehab tech and I had gone out to a "mobile home estate" i.e. trailer park on a call. This time it was another bed that was on the fritz. He drove, I navigated and we found the place in short order, despite the horrid directions given to us by the dispatcher/paperwork loser/slacker, who claimed he had once lived there!
This place, well, to call it a dump would be polite. Cars on blocks with engines removed and said engine setting on a milk crate on the porch. Burned out trailers setting next to trailers that had been gutted out, leaving only a shell for the various small mammals in which to take shelter. Concrete pads now devoid of the double wide that once stood there and would probably never see another mobile home setting on it again. Dogs on rusted chains barking at anything that moved. Scrawny cats searching through the piles of uncollected trash for a morsel of food. And worse of all, the trailers that still had "people" living in them. They only way I could tell people were living in them was the fact that there was a car or truck of some kind parked in front or because dirty urchins played in what was once a small yard. I have had campsites in the middle of National Forest's that were cleaner then the "homes" these people were living in. In all my short years, I had not seen anything like it. Culture shock takes it's toll.
We found the trailer after making a complete lap around the place. We walked up to the door and
pounded. And pounded. No reply. We could not call the resident, she having a neighbor call us since she had no phone. After about ten minutes, with no response, we left.
The next day was a Saturday and my boss wanted me to come into work to help catch up on
some things. Hell, overtime was good money and so I said sure, no problem. After about two hours, my boss comes down stairs to my basement shop.
"You have to go back out to that trailer park to fix that bed." he tells me.
"Your joking!"
"Nope. I have no choice. Woman says the bed doesn't work and she has been sleeping on the floor."
"We were there yesterday and no one answered the door!" I told him.
"I know. She said she was taking a nap and never heard you knock." he said. Well, I thought, if she could sleep that good through our pounding, the bed may not be her biggest priority! Worse yet, he tells me, Both vans are in the shop for routine maintenance. I will have to use my own vehicle. Damn the luck to the 7th level of hell! My boss asks for my cell phone number since I don't have a company phone yet. In case of trouble, I can call him and vice versa. Good idea. But if the people there decide to chase me down and eat me... I loaded up my tools and some various parts I think I will need and zip!off I go.
I get no further then a mile from the shop and my boss calls. Says the lady's door jams up at times and I will have to give it a kick to open it. Strange, but OK, nice to know that. Thanks boss! I arrive at the town that was too nasty to be the setting for "Deliverance" and drive right to the house trailer. How could I forget it? The address numbers were spray painted in 2x2' numerals on the side. It may have once been white, but time makes fools of us all. It was not even sitting level and the porch had a five inch gap from meeting the rest of the trailer. Real class.
I knock on the door. Through the open window, a voice tells me I will have to kick in the door to break the lock. It seems she can't find the key to the front door lock. What she had meant by "kicking" the door was to break down the door! I yell back and tell her there is no way I am going to do that. She yells back she has to have this bed fixed now, so go for it.
Hell, no, I tell myself. I bust that door and the company is going to get ass raped financially by some high priced attorney who has taken this low life's case pro bono. I call my boss and tell him that she wants us to bust down the door. Bloody bleeping hell no, he tells me! Damn right, I'm not, I tell him. I replied I was going to go up to the main office building and see if they had a spare key. Good idea, he says, let me know what happens. I yell back my intentions and she is still telling me to bust it in. I tell her hang on, I will be back in a few.
I drive up to the office. I'm telling myself this cannot get any worse. Again, fate proves she is a very fickle bitch and does not play favorites, because, as I quickly find as I go to the main door, a piece of paper torn from a spiral bound notebook taped to said door. In big block letters, written in pink Crayola crayon (yes, effing crayon!) were the words: "Back in foorty five minets". Yes, spelled just like that.
What did I do in a previous life to deserve such bad karma? Deflower some underage Viking princess? Urinate in the sacramental wine at the Vatican? Things weren't flowing in the positive my way at this point. No choice but to tell the woman the bad news and somehow figure out a new plan of action. I just needed to calm down. There was a strip bar just a quarter mile down the road, but I quickly realized I had no cash on me anyway, so that idea was just no good. I drove back down to the hovel and was going to deliver the bad tidings.
I arrived at a very strange scene. At here door a crowd had gathered. About three dirt encrusted children and a frail looking woman stood on the crumbling sidewalk while a man wearing gray sweat pants stained with used motor oil and wearing a very white and clean (?) "wife beater" shirt was at the door, his hand working in frantic motions at the door knob. I got of my car just in time to see him push the door open! How in the world? What just happened? He climbed down from the porch, a tarnished butter knife in his hand a smile on his face. How he was able to hold the cigarette he was puffing mightily and smile at the same time I do not know. Perhaps he had wedged into one of the gaps were teeth had once been. The knife had me scared, though. Damn, what a sad ending! And painful, I thought, to be slain with a $3 stainless BUTTER KNIFE!
" I gots it open fer ya. I heards her yellin and I jimmied da lock. Did it about a month back fer 'er." he said in a freindly manner. I stammered a thanks and he turned to the women and miniature dirt miners, pulled the cigarette from his mouth and gave it to the women, who began puffing on it.
When I die, I thought, I will surely not go to hell.
I was already there.
Part II tomorrow night, kids.

NEW ROADS – Services are Monday for consulting engineer Joseph Lancaster, Jr. He died June 27 at age 85.
He was a U.S. Navy veteran of World War II and retired president of Forte and Tablada Consulting Engineers. He was project manager for the design and the construction of Sidney A. Murray Hydro-electrical, power plant, the first in Louisiana. He served on the New Roads Town Council, was a volunteer fire fighter and was founding president of the False River Golf and Country Club.
Survivors include his wife Willie Mae, a son and two daughters.
Arrangements are by Niland.
Lawyer, World War II hero
SHREVEPORT – Services are Monday for attorney Eugene Musgrave, who as a U.S. Navy enlistee during World War II swam shark-infested waters to rescue a general whose plane was down in the Pacific Ocean. Musgrave died June 29 at age 88.
Musgrave helped save Gen. Nathan F. Twining in 1943. In appreciation, he was granted early release from active duty to attend Rice University. He was a petroleum landman for most of his professional life.
Survivors include three daughters.
Arrangements are by Rose-Neath.
Hotel developer
NEW ORLEANS – Services for businessman and hotel developer Bernard Mason will be Tuesday. He died June 30 at age 78.
He was a Mississippi River delta planter before developeing, designing and operating hotels in the French Quarter and Perdido Key near Pensacola, Fla.
He and his partners purchased the Maison Blanche Department Store building in 1997 and began converting the upper floors into the Ritz-Carlton Hotel. In 1998, Dillards shuttered the Canal Street Maison Blanche location, leaving the first three floors of the building vacant - a potentially disastrous circumstance for a luxury hotel whose construction was under way. Working quickly, Mason and his architects redesigned those first three floors into the gallery of shops, lobby and meeting space of today.
Survivors include his wife Earline, a son and a daughter.
Arrangements are by Tharp-Sontheimer, Metairie.

May – June 2013
Join us for the Clarksville Rotary Annual Metric (CRAM) ride on May 25, 2013. With distances of 100 miles, 62 miles, 35 miles and 20 miles to choose from through some of the flattest country around. This ride promises to be fast and fun! The CRAM is sponsored by the Clarksville Rotary Club.
The CRAM begins and ends at Rossview High School at 1237 Rossview Road. The courses travel over the rural roads of Todd, Logan and Christian County, Kentucky and Montgomery and Robertson Counties in Tennessee. The routes offer little traffic and great scenery, including the opportunity to see the area's Mennonites in their horse-drawn carriages, the Jefferson Davis Monument in Fairview, as well as Beachaven Winery.
So come out and enjoy one of the best supported and flattest rides in the South! Don't miss the spaghetti dinner (including Dairy Queen ice cream) after the ride.
Join Joe and the gang as he leads a 40 mi ride down to Normandy and beyond.
Join Mayor Lane Curlee for the inaugural Mayor's Bicycle Ride. The ride will start at Bel-Aire Elementary School and wind in and around a few local neighborhoods. Participants will enjoy a casual 4 mile bicycle ride that will loop back to Bel-Aire Elementary School.
Be sure to bring your bicycle helmets, be ready for some fun and of course arrive early for pictures and a chance to chat with your Mayor.

Hey Everybody!
Its that time again! The shoot-out continues! Weather permitting, we will meet at the Staggerwing Museum entrance off HWY 130 and have wheels turning at 5:00 pm sharp… This is your chance to sow your wild oats! Bring your Pistols and your Lactate Thresholds and come on out and have some fun!
Map, cue and gpx here:
This ride is the longest running of the club's standing rides. The idea is to have a moderate paced and length ride to acclimate new or returning riders to club rides. It's also designed to teach some of the craft of group riding, to introduce a lot of good local routes, to teach some rudimentary repair techniques as needed (like on the road flat repair), and perhaps to teach how to handle dogs. Typical distance is ~15 miles.
The end result is intended to produce riders that are knowledgeable and self sufficient on the road. By the way it's okay to also have a lot of fun too! Also, this ride is not restricted to newbys–if you want a nice class C or D evening ride, this is it and you're very welcome.
The group will adapt its pace to the slowest rider and no one will be left.
Come on out!
Join a group of mostly retired folks as they wander around the surrounding counties. Average speed is around 15 mph. Rides vary considerably based on the makeup of the group each Thursday. If you are interesting in riding with the group, contact Dave Bond via email to find out where the ride will depart from, time and even intended route. The ride is of course weather dependent (have you ever known any retired folks that enjoy riding in the rain) and departure time will move to later in the day as temperatures fall.
NOTE: There is no time on the calendar because it changes week to week. Please confirm the time and place with Dave ahead of time
Practice your time trial skills on the club's historic course. About 18 mi of good road with a killer climb near the end. Under 50 mins to complete this course puts you in some rarefied company!
Map, cue, gpx here:
We strive to make this a fun, challenging and friendly event. We believe the venue for Mach Tenn is nearly perfect. The race site overlooks peaceful Woods Reservoir in a remote area of Middle Tennessee. The roads used for the bike and run courses, though not closed to traffic, have very little traffic. The run course boasts a few hills (though not steep ones) to add a little challenge.
Mach Tenn is limited to the first 420 registered participants
Included in the post race refreshments are homemade black eyed peas and hot off the griddle "hoe" cakes.
Michelob Ultra provided for those 21 years of age and over.

Central banks to raise its purchases of gold to the highest level in 40 years
World Gold Council said that the world's central banks raised their purchases of gold in the third quarter of this year to its highest level in 40 years with the sharp decline in the price of gold during September / September last highs above $ 1,900 an ounce (an ounce). According to the newspaper, the Middle East, the net purchases of gold from central banks during the third quarter of this year, 148.4 tons of gold which exceeded estimates which had been announced earlier and the form of a surprise to some traders. The rejection of the World Gold Council, which issued a quarterly report yesterday identifying the names of central banks, which bought the bulk of these purchases because of the «restrictions of confidentiality» governing trading world gold market, but bankers in London said that some of the central banks of countries that have financial surpluses grabbed the opportunity to decline gold to diversify its investments away from risky assets. The central bank purchases of gold rose to its sales last year, and for the first time in two decades as banks throughout that period, sell more than buy. These purchases have led recently to the price of gold to about 1920.3 dollars an ounce, more than 600 per cent for the price 10 years ago. The last two years have witnessed an increase in central bank purchases of gold by banks to the direction of the yellow metal as a safe haven for cash reserves in light of disorder exchange markets. The amount of gold purchased by central banks during the period from July to September last, which is 148.4 tons, is the largest since 1988 when I was purchasing 180 tonnes. Furthermore, gold settled yesterday after falling 1 percent in the previous meeting in Singapore, as the market remains concerned about the debt crisis of the euro area with the continued political wrangling in the region. The argument broke out between France and Germany on whether the European Central Bank to intervene more forcefully to stop the debt crisis accelerated, while the bond market turbulence extends to the various countries of Europe, raising the concern of investors. A trader in Hong Kong «U.S. dollar is strong and there seems to be a good solution for Europe». The «technical picture looks weak, gold may not exceed $ 1800 soon». Gold rose in the spot market 0.2 per cent to 1765.20 dollars an ounce by 07:13 GMT away from the lowest level in a week's record of $ 1753.39 the day before yesterday (Wednesday). Gold fell U.S. 0.4 per cent to 1766.60 dollars.

Andy Hoffman : the physical metals will see all time high prices
Ranting Andy Hoffman talks about Derivatives, the MF Global debacle, silver and gold price outlook and the current events. andy says that he is now 100 percent switched to bullion , the physical metals will see all time high prices , the sovereigns of the world are rushing out of The Dollar . People have lost lot of money in the paper market .... I'm glad there are those that keep telling people to buy and hold precious metals themselves. This tactic has been proven down through the ages as sound policy. But most people will never listen. derivatives are just instruments to gamble upon the real underlining assets, they have no merit on the value of the real assets, bank of america has gambled to the point of 7 trillion in these gambling instruments. so bank of america is bankrupt, just dont invest in bank of america, anyone that has ties to bank of america will obviously be screwed also. doesnt mean the whole market is shit its just a select few of poorly managed companies.

This tire is exactly what I need for performance on the uneven roadways I seem to encounter. Not so heavy and slow as a knobby but less prone to flatting than a road/racing tire. A good all around solution for my needs.

Comments about Kenda Kwest High Pressure Tire:
Have used these for a few years. Wire bead is harder to install than folding tires, needed to use (2) tire levers, but like the higher pressure than most other commuter tires.

Health Information
Mononucleosis (Mono)
Mono is usually caused by the Reference Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) Opens New Window.
How mono is spread
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) can be found in saliva and Reference mucus Opens New Window (and sometimes tears). EBV is not spread by casual contact. You can live in the same house with a person who has mono and never become infected with the virus. But a person who has a weakened Reference immune system Opens New Window may be at higher risk for mono. It's possible that people who have had mono can spread the virus even though they no longer have symptoms.
- EBV lives and grows in the nose and throat. Any fluid that comes from these parts of the body, including saliva, tears, or mucus, can be infected with the virus. The virus (EBV) is spread when people come in contact with infected fluids.
- EBV can be spread through intimate contact or sharing of saliva. (A brief kiss on the lips is not likely to spread EBV. It is spread when saliva from an infected person gets into another person's mouth.)
- You can get EBV if you share a drinking glass or eating utensils with an infected person (through sharing saliva).
- In rare cases, someone can get an infection after receiving blood from a person who is infected with EBV.
- Most people get infected with EBV at some point in their lives but never get mono symptoms. EBV "sleeps" (is dormant) in the body. It can become active from time to time and spread to others. When it reactivates, most people do not have symptoms. Many healthy people carry the virus and spread it every now and then throughout their lives. Lifetime carriers of EBV are the most common source of EBV infection.
Contagious and incubation period
- You can pass the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) to others for several weeks or months during and after the time you are first infected with EBV. The virus can also become active and spread to others from time to time throughout your life.
- There is a small risk of spreading EBV through blood products. If you know you have mono, you should not donate blood.
- It takes 4 to 6 weeks for symptoms to develop after you come in contact with EBV. This is called the Reference incubation Opens New Window period.

I have a degree in Economics and Accounting and qualified as Chartered Accountant of England & Wales. Having traveled extensively, my wife and I settled in Central Florida in 1989 and consider that our home.

About 12 years ago, I had built a fish pond at my home and would use the fish waste from the filters to feed my tropical plants. Needless to say, I had beautiful and healthy tropical plants such as mangos, leeches and papaya while limited success with my vegetable gardening. There had to be a better way to grow them. I did not want to use the harmful pesticides and chemical fertilizers. So I began to search and think through the whole growing process. I knew that my tropical plants were doing just fine, so what was different other than that they had the occasional strong diet of fish waste whenever I cleaned the Koi pond filters. In December 2009 I searched the web for "fish water plants" and came across something called "Aquaponics".

Ride it on out
So this guy comes in last Thursday with a newish-looking bike and tells me he wants to return it. At first I thought he was an "Athletic Yuppie," but then I realized he was probably more of the "Pseudo-Sporting Trailer Trash" type, because Athletic Yuppies don't buy bicycles at Wal-Mart. Nor do they sport beat-up Adidas running shoes, knock-off Umbros and a size-too-small white Hanes T-shirt which didn't do anything to hide the gut that obviously gave lie to the fact that he DIDN'T ride that bike every day. Anyway.
This dude wants to return the bike because it "doesn't work." I inform him of our "Repair Only" policy and he starts getting agitated. Probably because the bike was stolen, because he didn't have a receipt -- which you know, normal people keep up with, especially if they've only had the thing for four days, as he claims. And another thing - if you bought it at a Wal-Mart 4o miles and six exits on the Interstate away, why are you trying to return it HERE? Scam-o-rama!
And then I get a rant about how Wal-Mart is losing its "customer service values" and how it doesn't appreciate its customers. My stock line is "I'm sorry sir."
And he goes "I don't think you're sorry at all." Which may be true. But it's not like I can tell him how I REALLY FEEL or call him on being an moron - or worse.
And then he demands a "receipt" for the bike repair. I tell him there is no "receipt" and that we'll call him when it is ready. "Well I want a receipt." And I go "I don't have a receipt to give you."
He leaves. I tape the ticket with his name and phone number on the bike and a description of the problem and wheel it over by the stamp machine.
And here's the kicker. I look up twenty-five customers and one hour later and the freaking bike is gone. GONE. No one knows where it is. I start asking around "Did you take that bike back to repair?" "Where is that blue and silver bike?" "Did you see a blue and silver men's bike?"
No one has seen anything.
So I figure someone saw a bike sitting around with a piece of paper on it and thought that paper was a reciept and rolled it right out the door. Any idiot (except the one that brought it in) can probably fix it and voila -- FREE BICYCLE!
I so don't want to be there when this man returns looking for that bike!
16 comments:
Hahaha, this reminds me of when I worked in layaway. Every so often after a bin audit, we'd have a missing package that we could not find anywhere. I always thought to myself, "Man I hope I'm not here when this customer wants to retrieve their layaway!"
well, it looks like trailer trash is getting a free new bike!
- Alec Usticke said...
How's he going to get a free new bike? He doesn't have a receipt for the repair!
In the customers defence, I can't believe that Walmart doesn't give any kind of ticket indicating that he has a bike dropped off for repair. What would prevent anyone from stopping in and picking a bike up? Shady Walmart employee tells his friend to come in and pick up a bike by pretending to be Bill Smith, who dropped off a bike for repair. Walmart has nothing to verify the guy is Bill Smith. This guys got nothing to proved that he dropped off a bike (well, other than this blog.......maybe he can wear the same clothes in).
- High-Maintenance & Hostile Heidi said...
Yikes! Please keep us posted on this. It should be good...
- Library Rat said...
Sorry, I have no pity.
Still, it sucks if the guy somehow legitimately bought the bike... - 11:57 AM
- FARfetched said...
Ohhhh maaannnn... I'll bet if it really was his bike, he's going to blame you (personally) for it!
- you'dneverguess said...
Maybe he got freaked out since it was stolen and he took it back.
I hope that's the case, for your sake. - 1:34 PM
- Rodger said...
Well, since the bike disappeared I'm expecting an excellent follow-up post.
- bunny said...
I just heard you on NPR and had to check out your blog. The computerized scheduling you are dealing with is not new. I used something like it myself when I was a manager. It was another pie in the sky idea that looked good on paper but didn't work in the real world.
Re; Bike guy. He probably took the bike to try to return it somewhere else. - 5:41 PM
I sympathize with you in every way - but I think Walmart is dead wrong in its policy to not give receipts for this kind of thing! I would never have left something behind without some way to prove it!
- MavenofMoxie said...
I agree with what's been said already. I understand that you didn't have a receipt to give, but no way would I have left without some type of verification that I left the bike. For once, I suppose I'm at least partially on the side of the customer.
The customer probably took the bike, noticed how busy you were and will return claiming that his bike was stolen while in Wal-Mart's possession for repair. How will Wal-Mart prove differently? (Then again, how will he prove he did drop off a bike?) How will WM handle this one? The only thing they can do is either tell the customer he's a liar or ask him how much he paid for the bike and offer a refund (a new bike, a store credit or cash).
I'm very interested to find the outcome of this. Could no one check security tapes? - 7:14 PM

Never thought I'd side w/the customer but yes, I'd never leave something w/o getting a rcpt for it. I mean we get rcpts for our dry cleaning, so Wally should have a policy to give rcpts for repair.
Hope you're not there when he gets back. - 12:14 AM
At our store, we have assembly request tickets (we use them for repairs too) that we have to fill out for this sort of thing. Plus, the customer needs to have his original receipt so he can show that he is the owner of the bicycle. The transaction number on the receipt is compared to the transaction number that was transcribed onto the assembly request ticket from that receipt at the time of the assembly request.
Hey, doesn't your WM have security camera footage of the bike leaving?
I would be very surprised if the supposed owner took the bike. I would definately check the security tapes.
As for the anger, Although I don't always like the curses pronounced lately I see the blog as hillarious and look past those. I see the rants as a healthy release for the kind of stress he must be going through and am in awe of his self control while at work (I have to make an excuse to turn around so I can release my face from it's frozen smile to display a silent scream, mouth that they are idiots, or just roll my eyes to keep from reacting)
