Good value for the price 8/23/2014Gary from Chandler, az
for two of these for under $25 this is a old deal. Seems durable. Need to provide assistance as you are raising the bikes and you don't want to mess with them when they are raised because the hooks could come off the seat since they aren't secured very well to the back seat.
Works great 7/3/2014GK from Charlotte, NC
Works as designed. Frees up garage space making it easier to park two cars. I found that it's easier to mount on the 2x4 if you ditch the included screws and use self-tapping, hex-head screws instead.
It Works just fine! 12/29/2013TGC from Indian Lake, Ohio
The racks were very easy to install using the provided instructions and perform very nicely for me. They were exactly "As Advertised" . The sale price of $17.99 shipped made it an an excellent buy. It was not very difficult at all to figure out the best way to hook up the bikes.
Bike Hoist 12/17/2013
works great
Great deal 12/16/2013ta from Luverne, mn
Great price!
2 lifts for a low price. 12/14/2013tmxcd from Mesa, AZ
I ordered these and thought that I might find the quality to be lacking. I was pleasantly surprised. i can now hang my bikes up and out of the way and enjoy the look of my garage too.
RAD Cycle Products Bike Hoist 12/6/2013Belizeboy from Cedaredge, CO
Since the day I bought my bicycle it has always been a problem where to keep it. If I put it in my shop, it was always in the way. The same if I brought it up on my deck. I was almost done building my new carport that also covers my RV, when I ran across this product. How perfect it turned out. I have access to the bike very quickly and it is no longer in the way. THANK YOU
Works great 12/1/2013
These work like a charm. Easy to raise and lower and take up less room than when bikes hang from a hook.
Solid 11/28/2013
This is a good deal for a very solid item. Easy to use.
Saves my garage space 11/16/2013Tech buyer from Fairfax, VA
It took me two hours to install, but my bicycle finally has a great place to stay. I do not need to worry about my car hit the bicycle. Great product!
RAD Hoists are Rad 11/12/2013Blake from Riverton, Utah
This is a great product that I really enjoy. Easily installed and very user friendly. It helps to keep the garage organized and also protects the bikes. Good deal all around.
Great storage solution. 11/12/2013
Although I have yet to install these, they components appear well built and the option of being able store our bikes out of the way, is very appealing. The instructions are fairly well written, and anticipate no issue with the use of this product.
Excellent product! 11/12/2013
The hoists are well made and function just as promised. Installation was easy.
This product is UNSAFE! 11/8/2013Bill from Carson City, Nevada
The steel used for the "hooks" of this product is so soft (bendable) that it makes the lift unsafe. As I was lifting my tandem mountain bike (47 pounds, lift rated for 100 pounds), the rear hook bent and dropped the bike to the floor. Fortunately there was nobody under the bike at the time, otherwise somebody could have been hurt. The failure did result in the rear bike wheel being severely bent and is now unusable. The cost of repairing or replacing the wheel will not be cheap.
very pleased 11/8/2013
The product is very well-built and was easy to install.
Solid Product 11/8/2013
A solid product. It is sturdy and able to perform as expected.
Bike Hoist 11/8/2013
Installed the 2 bike hoists this week. Well made but has to bend the lifting hooks to a be more round to make sure the bikes didn't fall. Works Great!!
bike hoist 11/7/2013
needs some skill to install. the wood screws supplied with the product is not very good quality. had to use stuff from home depot
Just what I needed 8/25/2013
Items arrived as described. I have yet to install them, but installation looks straight forward and simple. Construction seems good for the price.
great deal 8/24/2013
great product at a real value. Came when expected and was exactly what I wanted.
Really needed this for my crowded garage! 8/20/2013Derek from Morgantown, WV
These are perfect for storing your bikes! Well built and seem as though they will last for a while!
Bike Hoist 8/18/2013Essie from Kissimmee, FL
Item was received in a timely manner. Have to say that the installion was not difficult, my husband put it up in less than an hours time. Love how the pulley has a lock so you don't need to worry about the rope breaking loose from your hand and the bike dropping, ordered originally a 2pack and now ordered another 2. Really love how it allows me to condense the space the bikes take up in my garage!
Excellent Way to Clear the Garage Floor 8/16/2013ambonito from Brunswick, GA
I bought these to get our bikes off the garage floor. I rated the Value at 5 because I paid less than $20 for two sets and you just can't beat that. They come with extra long rope in case you have high ceilings so if it's a standard 8 foot height, you will have to cut the line shorter.
Nice bike lift!!! 7/15/2013Tuan from Baltimore, MD
Very easy to install, and easy to use!!
Bike Hoist 7/10/2013
Very good value and no issues attaching to the ceiling. Seems to be study and holds bike with no problems.
heavy sturdy feel 7/8/2013Nim E luv from Houston, TX
good value, solid feel
Good Product 7/8/2013Valerie from Richmond, VA
We really love the bike hoists - we have 4 of them. Didn't have the problems with the ropes (yet) as other described. Works well. Not too difficult to install, but my husband is pretty mechanically inclined. They work great and have made space in our garage. We should have ordered these years ago. Price was good too, as I compared them to our local stores.
Pleasant surprise 7/5/2013DM from Phoenix, AZ
I was pleasently surprised when the bike rack order arrived. There were indeed two sets for mounting two bikes. What a nice idea.
Great deal! 7/5/2013
This item is a 2 pack and for the price its worth it, the directions are easy to follow and I have my bikes hanging up now
As advertised 7/4/2013
Engineered for safe easy operation. Rope locking device works great. Would prefer that the seat and handle bar attachments be more curved for better grip.
Excellent 7/3/2013
Fast product delivery, item as described. Have one of these , ordered two more because they're THAT good.
Bike hoist 7/1/2013
As Advertised 6/29/2013
Good quality and appearance
Works great! 6/28/2013Chris from Eau Claire, WI
I actually ordered these to hang a hard-top winter cab for my garden tractor from the ceiling. It's a bit heavier than a bike, but still works very well. The ropes are good quality. Just beware of the instructions - they are actually quite good, except that the FIRST think you do (thread the rope through the system) is listed on the back side of the instructions... so you follow all of the instructions on page 1, flip the page, and then see "Before doing anything else, thread the rope..." Ugh!
Works well 6/27/2013
Easy to install and works well.
Great Product 6/26/2013Steve from Concord OH
and fast deliver
Exactly as advertised. 6/26/2013John from Bonita Springs, Fl
A product that does what it is supposed to, built well and sold at a fair price. Good business.
Good value 6/7/2013
Good product for the price
Good buy 5/24/2013
Works even better than anticipated.
Happy! 5/23/2013
Very happy with quality and ease of install/use.
Great Product 5/22/2013
Very easy to use and works like a "charm"
good product 5/21/2013
holds the bike steady
Have not used 4/25/2013Brian from Huntsville AL
I have not used them yet but they look great. Cant wait to put them up.
Bike Hoist 4/25/2013JC from Woodbridge, Calif.
Fantastic product, easy to install and work with little effort. Big change from lifting the bikes onto ceiling hooks. Recommend this product to all.
Lots of strong metal 4/25/2013Ron L from Massachusetts
I have not put one up yet but it looks to be well made and robust.
Great deal 4/25/2013Andy from New Canaan CT
Great value, reasonably good product, good vendor.
Great 4/24/2013
A/OK Thanks
RAD Bike Hoist 2 Pack 4/24/2013
For less than $20 for two bike hoists, you can't beat that price. I'm only going to be using one at the moment but it works great. Exactly as described and easy to set up.
Exactly what we needed 4/24/2013Sharon from Bumpass, VA
We were excited to find this in a two pack and it was exectly what we wanted.
Super functional ladder 4/24/2013Geaners from Fresno, CA

Magical Art
In Irene Christensen's paintings, art becomes a magical act. Her sinous images repeat, loop in on themselves and are transformed into words and images in poems.
Her paintings show that life is strange and quirky, and contradictory, too. Tragedy and comedy are not played out in separate theaters, but co-exist, side by side.
The Eyes Have It, 2000 | oil on canvas | 42" x 42"
This painting is about life fairytales, about dreams and hope. In it, my dream becomes my world and my world becomes my dream.
Master of the Feast, 2007 | oil on canvas | 30" x 30"
See also Journey. This painting is a window onto a world, a surreal world, where images repeat and are transformed into words within poems

Written by Karen Gellender Friday, 19 October 2012 00:00
At times, my intuition is way ahead of my brain. I'd like to think that I arrive at a lot of my opinions through logical reasoning, but often, I feel like something is wrong long before I can articulate why it's wrong. This was the case with the word "privilege" as used in the phrases "white privilege," "male privilege," and the especially reviled "white male privilege." Something about the way these terms are bandied about bothered me, but I couldn't explain why until recently.
It's not that I have any doubt that privilege exists; I've certainly seen it in action. Even if you're not particularly devoted to the cause of achieving greater social justice, it's not difficult to see that being white and male confer some advantages in our culture. So if I admit privilege exists, why does the term make me wince in annoyance?
What I've realized is that this term almost always seems to be part of a conversation where two people are either unwilling or unable to listen to each other. Example:
Woman: Wow, that show was really offensive.
Man: Really? I thought it was pretty funny, actually.
Woman: You're just too blinded by your white male privilege to understand how I feel.
Man: What, so just because I'm a white guy, I'm not entitled to an opinion?
Woman: You're totally missing the point, and because you are a man, you will never get it.
Man: And you're a totally hysterical, feminist person! I am now too defensive about this privilege thing to pay attention to a woman's feelings ever again.
That's the first problem: no matter how much legitimacy the term privilege should have, when it's used to disqualify someone from having an opinion on something, you've already lost the argument…or more accurately, there is no argument. You've lost by not even showing up.
The second problem is the fact that, while white and/or male privilege are bandied about most often, other kinds of privilege exist that aren't talked about. My understanding of feminist theory is that most feminists believe that "female privilege" doesn't exist because any possible benefits to being female are miniscule compared to the advantages of being male, but this has not been my personal experience.
If I ask someone on a nearly empty subway platform what time the train is getting in, people will assume that I want to know the answer to the question, not that I'm not hiding some dangerous agenda. If a woman walks past me pushing a stroller and I smile at her toddler she'll smile back, secure in the knowledge that I'm just acknowledging her child's infectious cuteness. If my husband were to do the same thing, there's a chance her smile would be brittle; in the back of her mind, she might be thinking "A grown man, looking at my child? Is he a pedophile?"
I like the fact that people never assume that I'm violent or a sex offender. It's kind of nice. If it's something I benefit from, how is that not privilege?
I've also encountered plenty of religious-based privilege. Someone I worked with years ago once told me that he was okay with the fact that I was Jewish, because I wasn't "in-your-face" about it, as opposed to a coworker. It never occurred to this man that he had certain privileges as a Christian: his holidays were in my face all the time, on the streets and in the media, but that was just seen as normal.
However, there's also Jewish privilege; I might say, "That guy had a lot of chutzpah," knowing that enough of the people around me are either Jewish themselves, or grew up surrounded by Jewish people, that they're familiar with some common Yiddish. If someone doesn't get it, oh well; I'm not going to bother defining it. It's an in-club thing, also known as privilege.
If you think about it, virtually every kind of group has some kind of privilege, but the only kind that's safe to acknowledge are the white, male kinds. It's almost as if people think that if we acknowledge that there can be such a thing as female privilege, or Jewish privilege, or tall privilege, people might make the mistake of thinking that the terrifying behemoth of white male privilege has been cancelled out—yeah, right. Acknowledging that social dynamics are complicated doesn't suddenly make you blind to injustice.
And that's the real problem with the privilege concept; the assumption that if someone has privilege, they're too blinded by their supposedly elite status to have a valuable place in the discourse. I don't know if we need a moratorium on the word privilege, but at the very least, we need to stop constraining the discussion in this manner. Someone might be blinded by their "privilege," but at least give them the opportunity to demonstrate that; don't just assume their opinion can be dismissed, unheard, due to accidents of birth.

Grant unto thy Church, we beseech Thee, O merciful God, that She, being gathered together by the Holy Ghost, may be in no wise troubled by attack from her foes. O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

Food For Thought
"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."

When you buy a new home, typically you do certain things to make it your own. This young couple did a lot of things. In fact, they renovated almost every inch of this 9,146 square-foot home.
All six bedrooms and seven baths received new paint, wallpaper, furniture, flooring and fixtures. Really, nothing was left untouched. However, the main living area is really the spot that catches the most eyeballs—as well as foot traffic.
The kitchen sort of leaks into the family room, creating one massive spot where friends and family can gather. Previously, the space had a provincial style with faux stonework on the walls and dark colors throughout. It was gorgeous, but didn't fit the active lifestyle of this growing family. Instead, the couple wanted something open and relaxing, where the family could entertain, with and without the AV setup.
The couple liked how the previous room had a clean look to it and didn't want the new space to be dominated by gadgets and TVs. Bryant Moore and Adam Sito of Moore Audio Design were brought in to make that happen.
The new room is anchored by a gorgeous Runco Crystal Portfolio CX-55HD LCD display. The couple is happy that this 55-incher is still the only visible technology in the room. However, now the family has access to a 5.1 surround sound system, featuring a custom-made Leon Horizon HZUTLCRXA ultra-thin soundbar with 3-inch midrange woofers and 1-inch audiophile-grade tweeters that's also visible. The audio also includes punch from Martin Logan Electro Motion IW in-wall rear speakers and the Martin Logan Dynamo 1000 subwoofer. There's also Out of sight, there's also an Arcam receiver/amp and a Pioneer Blu-ray player.
Most of the components are accessed through Universal Remote Control's MX-880. However, the family now has the ReQuest IQ Multi-Room Distributed Audio System, which can be tapped into via the 6-inch TS.6N in-wall touchscreen in the kitchen.
Moore describes the new interior design as "modern and clean with medieval-inspired touches." It fits perfectly with the family's lifestyle, but gives them access to a world of electronics that disappears seamlessly into the new decor.

Beethoven: Piano Sonatas, Vol. 4
Studio Master: CDA67974 Studio Master FLAC & ALAC downloads available
Maria Yudina – Beethoven Sonatas
APR5670 Download only
Movement 1: Allegretto ma non troppo (Etwas lebhaft und mit der innigsten Empfindung)
Movement 2: Vivace alla marcia (Lebhaft, Marschmäßig)
Movement 3: Adagio, ma non troppo, con affetto (Langsam und sehnsuchtsvoll)
Movement 4: Allegro (Geschwind, doch nicht zu sehr, und mit Entschlossenheit)
Baroness Ertmann told her niece that she met Beethoven in Haslinger's music shop when she was looking over some of his recent compositions. She took them to a piano standing in the shop and began to play. A man came forward, seized her hand, and introduced himself. It was Beethoven. She and her husband later numbered among his closest friends.
By all accounts, Dorothea von Ertmann was a much-admired musician. Czerny wrote that she played Beethoven's works with great physical strength and totally in the right spirit. Johann Reichardt, in his Vertraute Briefe, wrote: 'I have never seen, even in the greatest virtuosi, such power allied to the most tender delicacy; there is a singing soul in each finger-tip.'
As an officer's wife she could not perform in public, but she played frequently in the Viennese salons. A very touching anecdote has been passed down—one version of which comes from Mendelssohn, who visited her when she later lived in Milan. Her only child died at a very young age, and Beethoven, to her surprise, stayed away from her house, not showing any sympathy at all. Weeks later he returned, bowed to her, and, without a word, sat down at the piano and improvised for a long time. 'Who would be able to describe this music? It was like hearing angelic choirs singing the welcome of my poor child into the world of light. When he had finished playing, he pressed my hand in sympathy and left me, silently as he had come. He had told me everything and in the end he brought me comfort.'
The year 1816 was not a very productive one for Beethoven. The lawsuit against his sister-in-law for custody of his nephew, Karl, must have taken huge amounts of time and energy, and the sorry saga was to continue for several more years. His hearing was becoming progressively worse, although it wasn't until 1818 that he started to use conversation books. Other than the Sonata Op 101, the most important work completed that year was his song cycle An die ferne Geliebte. He was also working on the two sonatas for cello and piano, Op 102, and the first of these, in C major, which Beethoven himself called a 'Freye Sonate' ('free Sonata'), has a form remarkably similar to Op 101.
The A major Sonata was published in February 1817 in the first volume of a series entitled 'Museum für Klaviermusik', brought out by the Viennese publisher Steiner. Its object was to present 'only musical products of recognized worth—compositions which are particularly distinguished through their aesthetically pure musical design, worked out with artistry, gracefulness and clarity'. When Beethoven sent his sonata to Steiner, he wrote that it should be entitled 'The difficult-to-play Sonata in A' (Beethoven must have read reviews of his work, because a critic had just said that of his Seventh Symphony), adding: 'What is difficult is also beautiful, good, great etc., so everyone will realize that this is the most lavish praise that can be given; since what is difficult makes one sweat.'
As in his previous piano sonata, the beautiful Op 90, he gives more elaborate German indications as well as Italian indications for tempo. Thus for the opening movement (Allegretto ma non troppo), he gives us a more precise clue to its interpretation in his native language: Etwas lebhaft und mit der innigsten Empfindung ('a little lively and with deepest feeling'). I love reading Tovey's notes to Beethoven's sonatas (when I was a young student, his was the edition I always used, along with the one by Artur Schnabel). For this movement Tovey gives the following advice: 'Do not be unduly depressed by the reflection that your deepest feelings are not equivalent to Beethoven's: there is no deeper expression than that which comes of habitually playing great music faithfully in the full conviction that it is greater than you can realize. Think of it and not of yourself.' Czerny says this music 'renders all outward embellishment superfluous' and must be soft and sustained. It is above all lyrical, and made all the more expressive by its swinging syncopations.
The indications for the second movement (Vivace alla marcia; Lebhaft, Marschmäßig) are more straightforward. The movement itself is not. It's a quirky piece—awkward to play, and difficult to bring off. Too fast a tempo ruins it. The trio is mostly a piece of strict canonic writing, in which the marking dolce appears twice. The route Beethoven finds to lead us back into the march is pure genius.
The slow movement is not really a separate movement at all, but rather an introduction to the finale. It is only one page long, and the whole thing is played with the soft pedal depressed. The Italian con affetto becomes sehnsuchtsvoll in German ('full of longing'). Beethoven instructs us in Italian not to play it too slowly (Adagio, ma non troppo), yet in German says Langsam. In any case, time must stand still. The different registers of Beethoven's keyboard are used in the most expressive way, giving a great feeling of space. Only at is conclusion, in a brief cadenza-like passage, is the soft pedal gradually lifted. Then appears a short reminiscence of the opening of the first movement, tinged with regret. A few seconds later we are thrown into the finale, again by a masterful bridge joining the various sections.
A simple Allegro marking for this imposing finale is qualified with Geschwind, doch nicht zu sehr, und mit Entschlossenheit ('Fast, but not too fast, and with determination'). The warning Beethoven gives is a smart one. With the exception of a few bars where he goes into jaunty folksong mood, this piece is all counterpoint, and the clearer it is, the more astounding it becomes. A lot of the opening section is marked piano, even pianissimo, and at one point dolce. The development brings us a fugue—or at least a substantial fugato. It begins as softly as possible in the lower register, and builds to a huge climax in which Beethoven, for the first time ever, uses the 'contra E' (as he wrote in the score). Only the latest pianos had this new note, and what a marvellous way to show it off! A treacherous passage in double fourths appears in the recapitulation (the part my fellow competitors and I were discussing over dinner, although Beethoven was at least kind enough to leave us his own fingering for it). And the coda? For a second, when he drops to the minor third, it sounds as though he might go off on another fugue. But this is only a joke. Nevertheless, the discreet laughter continues all the way to the final, crashing chords.
