We were contracted earlier this year by Barry, the CEO of a software and consulting firm serving the banking and credit union sector with annual earnings around $5M currently ranking in the inc 5000. This CEO complained (apparently dumbfounded) that his marketing director had left him for his largest competitor 8 months prior and he needed someone to fill the gap while he continued to look for a replacement which he had not had any luck doing so far.

Just how well is your current marketing working? As CEO or partner, or perhaps even the owner of a relatively small engineering consultancy which you started after a tour through corporate America, have you followed traditional marketing tactics such as forking out quantities of money for a small booth at a trade show, creating expensive printed material and little rubber balls stuffed with sand to hand out?

10 FAQs on How to Market a Professional Services Company
Nov 11, 2014 7:00:00 AM
Traditionally, professional services companies have relied on old-school marketing methodologies centered around now minimally effective outbound approaches. When CEOs speak of the cost of customer acquisition and ROI specific to classical marketing they find they aren't happy and want to know how to market a professional services company more effectively. When we consider the ability of small to medium sized businesses (SMB) marketing departments to succeed in classical marketing approaches like radio, TV, and print advertising, it mostly comes down to money and a whole lot of money is not characteristically what SMBs possess.
10 pros & Cons to Publishing My Rates Online
Nov 5, 2014 7:30:00 AM
Many, if not most, software as a service companies (SaaS) publish their pricing online. Is this a great idea for these busnesses, and does it make sense for the rest of us to mimmick the practice? Here, we've done it both ways and as you might expect this is a pretty controversial subject, particularly for B2B organizations that provide services which vary in price depending on the scope of the work. In the past, I have been among those who become frustrated when unable to locate a pricing table on a website that has something that I am interested in. Should I take it as a clear sign that I won't be able to afford whatever it is they're selling, and desert the site?

One indicator that Inbound and Content Marketing have taken off is the number of new stock photo websites that have sprung up in recent years, or perhaps months. We know this because content needs to be published with attractive imagery, most of which is purchased or accessed from repositories of Creative Commons (CC) artwork collections such as the one on Flickr, so clearly the increase in the number of websites that support this reflect growth here.

Although it may not feel like a super place to be, the day that you come to the realization that your efforts to promote your website have failed should be a time of great celebration. I'm betting that if you typed "our website sucks" in your search engine, it is because you are swinging to a particularly low point in the way you feel about the situation. This is great, because like many other times in our lives when we are at this point, we start looking for the best way to hoist ourselves out of it. Specifically, you now have a fresh opportunity to be open to new ideas.

Flyers chairman Ed Snider met with Pope Francis last week in Rome, and since then, the Flyers have been on a two-game winning streak.
The Flyers surprised kids from the Ed Snider Youth Hockey Foundation Sunday when they showed up in Kensington to practice at Scanlon Ice Rink.
Flyers chairman Ed Snider stressed Monday that while firing Peter Laviolette was not his decision, he fully supported Paul Holmgren's move.
On firing head coach Peter Laviolette three games into the season, Flyers chairman Ed Snider said he was worried for awhile: "Nobody looked good."
Ed Snider spoke highly of the Flyers on Friday, and said that he would be "very disappointed" if the team's goaltending situation isn't solid.
Despite the failures of the 2013 season, Flyers chairman Ed Snider said Friday that coach Peter Laviolette and general manager Paul Holmgren are not on the hot seat.
Flyers fans know all about Bobby Clarke and Ed Snider . But they know a lot less about Herb Gardiner, who also had a significant impact on the history of hockey in Philadelphia.
Ed Snider and Paul Holmgren made very clear Tuesday that they believe the Flyers are a much better team now than they were a month ago.
Despite an endorsement from Ed Snider , the Flyers have begun internal discussions on whether to use a compliance buyout on Ilya Bryzgalov.
Today's Headlines: Toronto to host its first playoff game in 9 years, bad blood ensuing between Habs and Sens, and Flyers owner' Ed Snider reflects on reg. season.

Save 26 year old Rayhaneh Jabbari from being hanged in Iran
Avaaz.org - Rayhaneh Jabbari is sentenced to hang for killing her rapist in self defense in Iran
Reyhaneh Jabbari is at risk of imminent execution for having killed a member of the Iranian intelligence services, Morteza Abdolali Sarbandi, a physician, who was attempting to rape her. Her execution verdict has been upheld by the Supreme Court.
Rayhaneh Jabbari is a 26 six year old woman who has been in prison for the last 7 years and is awaiting imminent execution[ by hanging].
Rayhaneh, an interior designer, was speaking on the phone about her work in a coffee shop, a conversation which was coincidentally overheard by Morteza who approached her for professional advice about renovating his office. They then set a date to meet at his office in order to see and discuss Morteza's renovation project.
On the day of the meeting, Morteza picked up Rayhaneh in his car. On the way to his office, Morteza stopped at a pharmacy, purchased an item (while Rayhaneh waited in the car), got into the car again and drove to his office. After arriving at their destination, Rayhaneh realized that the place did not look like a work place at all as it was a rundown house. Inside the house, Rayhaneh saw two drinks on the table, Morteza went inside and quickly locked the door from inside, put his arms around Rayhaneh's waist and told her that "she had no way of escaping". A struggle soon ensued. Rayhaneh trying to defend herself stabbed Morteza in the shoulder and escaped. Morteza died from bleeding.
Lab analysis showed the drinks Morteza intended to serve to Rayhaneh contained sedatives. Regardless, Rayhaneh was arrested. There she was told by the authorities that the murder had been set up [by them] and was "politically motivated". Nevertheless, Rayhaneh was tortured until she confessed to the murder, after she was given the death penalty which was upheld by the Supreme Court. As a result she is to be executed at any moment.
An interrogator went to the apartment and made a report. At that time Reyhaneh clearly stated to the investigator that she was innocent, that she had met Morteza for business meeting, and that said she killed him only in self defense to stop him from rape.
"The evening I was there, I knew that he wanted to rape me, so because of self defense I stabbed him and escaped," she said.
During a meeting concerning the case at the Criminal Court Branch 74, the family of the victim -- one girl and two boys -- stood up and demanded a "death sentence."
Reyhaneh explained that she had to defend herself: "
Now, any moment it is possible for her to be hanged. Her crime is self defense and she does not deserve to die.
NOTE: In Iran men and women, including some minors, face execution everyday for some 131 offenses punishable by death under the fundamentalist Islamic Republic. Some of these crimes include adultery, theft, homosexuality, drug possession and political dissidence. Iran hangs more people per capita than any other country in the world, Since President Rohani's election; there has been a sharp increase in executions. Trials in Iran fall short of International standards and the majority of those hanged did not even have access to a lawyer, jury, or even evidence.

From the Archive: On Presidents' Day, opinion polls rate the greatest U.S. presidents, with Ronald Reagan now typically scoring at or near the top — and George W. Bush at or near the bottom. Though the Bush rating is hard to dispute, Robert Parry argued in 2009 that Reagan deserved a similar placement.
Lost History
Theocracy Comes to Virginia
Exclusive: Virginia's Republican-controlled government is moving to enact extreme anti-abortion laws based on a doctrinal belief that human life begins at conception, even if that judgment conflicts with the personal beliefs of many state residents — the latest round of America's "Religion Wars," writes Sam Parry.
Last Chance for 3-Book Set at $29
From Robert Parry: Because of rising shipping costs, we will soon discontinue the special offer of the three-book set – Lost History, Secrecy & Privilege and Neck Deep – at the deep discount price of only $29 for all three, postage included.
The Right's Inside-Out Constitution
Exclusive: It has become an article of faith on the American Right that the Founders opposed a strong central government and that federal activism — from Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal to President Obama's health-care reform — violates the nation's first principles. But that's not the real history, writes Robert Parry.
What Israel Really Fears about Iran
Israel does not really see Iran as an "existential threat," at least not in the sense that Iran would fire a hypothetical nuclear bomb at Israel. Rather, Israel fears that an Iranian bomb would tilt the strategic balance, since Israel now holds a nuclear monopoly in the region, as William Blum explains.
The Almost Vanunu
Special Report: Two decades ago, the U.S. and Israeli governments reached around the world to silence an ex-Israeli intelligence officer who was exposing sensitive secrets. The goal was to discredit, if not capture, Ari Ben-Menashe much the way Israel went after nuclear whistleblower Mordechai Vanunu, reports Marshall Wilson.
The First American Freedom Fighter
A half millennium ago this Feb. 2, the Spaniards felt they had put an end to the first major resistance to the European/Christian conquest of the Americas by executing Hatuey, an Indigenous freedom fighter who fought them on Hispaniola and Cuba. But Hatuey's spirit of independence survived, as William Loren Katz notes.
Bush's My Lai
From the Archive: Last week's decision by a U.S. military court to give no jail time to the sergeant in charge of troops at the Haditha massacre of 24 unarmed Iraqis means no serious penalties for anyone associated with what, in 2006, Robert Parry called "Bush's My Lai."
No Justice for Haditha Massacre
In 2003, President George W. Bush launched a "preemptive" war against Iraq, citing imaginary threats to the United States. The invasion inflicted massive loss of life, including massacres like the one at Haditha, but with very little accountability in the field or in Washington, writes Marjorie Cohn.
The Ugly Words of Newt Gingrich
Exclusive: Republican presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich has built his political career on demonizing those who disagree with him. Off-handedly, he will accuse fellow Americans of possessing the most heinous motives for their actions, now even taking aim at medical researchers, notes Robert Parry.

Wankmeister goes Hollywood…kicking and screaming and suing the whole damned way
January 15, 2013 § 20 Comments
G3 told me on the Donut Ride a few weeks back that one of his Hollywood producer friends followed this blog and might get in touch to retain me as a "consultant."
This was intended to flatter me, which it did, so I told G3 that his friend was a thieving fucking douchebag, and the only reason any Hollywood anything reads so much as the wall in a public toilet is to steal it and plagiarize it to a fare thee well.
"Not my friend!" protested G3. "He'd never rip you off!" Then G3 paused. "But his partner sure would."
So, like Douchestrong's confession, it was PREDICTED HERE FIRST: Now, get ready for the pilot TV show based on Cycling in the South Bay, followed by the mother of all copyright infringement lawsuits.
G3, is your Hollydouche producer hosebag listening? If he steals so much as a fucking indefinite article from these hallowed columns of honeyed prose and sparkling dialogue, he'll find himself on the reaming end of more ass-lashing litigation than there are dickstomps on a cold, wet, windy NPR.

Simple ride and punch in face
December 29, 2012 § 34 Comments
Have you ever noticed how there's no such thing as a simple ride? Once you're on your bike, shit happens. The reason we don't think anything of it is because we forget most of it by the time we're home.
Why do we forget?
Because when you're on a bike, you're out "in life," where shit happens. You're not cooped up in the car, or couch surfing, or nailed to a theater seat. You're out in the world, going slightly more or slightly less than the speed of the world around you, unprotected from the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune.
So much happens so quickly, and it's all interspersed with intense activity, that when you get home all you want to do is eat, shower, and sleep. Once that's done, the details of the ride are a distant memory, or no memory at all.
Nothing special happened today
I met up with Jeff, Harry, and Rod for a leisurely pedal from the Center of the Known Universe to Mandeville Canyon. It was California cold, which is to say in the mid 40's which is to say that a whole lot of cyclists stayed in bed despite the clear skies and beautiful morning.
The extra effort of pulling on a pair of booties can be, like, such a drag.
After drag racing up Mandeville, with Rod playing pacemaker until he fried, and then Jeff putting King Harold and me to sword, we turned around and descended. While clipping along San Vicente's long, fast, straight downhill at well over 30 mph, a large magnolia seed cone fell from a limb and hit me in the face.
It was such a blow that it jerked my head back. Had it not been for my glasses, which absorbed much of the blow, my eye could have been taken out. I've often thought that the extra wide frame of my SPY Quanta frames afforded me extra protection, but this day proved it (insert applause for shameless plug here). As it was, I was lucky to retain control and pull over. Aside from a small cut, minor bruising, and a fine string of oaths, I was unhurt.
As we pedaled on, Jeff reminded Rod of the time that a giant piece of steel had flown up and hit him in the shin. "Remember that?" asked Jeff.
As if anyone ever forgets excruciating pain! "Oh, hell yes," said Rod. His entire shin swelled up, he'd had to dismount, doubled over in pain…it was quite epic. Pain filled. Memorable.
This of course recalled insect bites. "Remember when that dude got stung in the eye by a bee?"
"Yeah, and his whole body swelled up like a giant grapefruit, and EMS had to come and take him off to the ER."
"Or what about the time we were riding along and almost got hit by that piano?"
Everyone nodded, recalling the near disaster when a piano fell out of the back of a truck, bouncing along the tarmac at 50 mph, keyboard, legs, and chunks of wood flying like spears, scattering the terrified peloton.
"What about when G$ went over the guardrail at 40?"
"Or when Hottie hit that giant rock going down the Switchbacks at speed?"
"Remember when the angry driver got out and pulled a pistol?"
"That was scary as hell. And the naked chick on the motor scooter?"
"Ten stars! What about the time Stern-O wrecked an entire frame by running over a stick and getting it caught in the rear triangle?"
"High tide on the bike path when that huge wave came over the breakwater, knocked Jack off his bike and took his water bottle out to sea."
"Stern-O's wipeout at speed going into Pedro. Rolled a new silk sew-up at 40 in the turn dropping down Western. What the hell was he doing with silk sew-ups on a road bike?"
"Strauchmann's one-legged crash and bike toss that almost took out Yule's recently repaired elbow!"
"That freddie who got bit by a rattlesnake while changing a flat up on Piuma."
"That dude who stomped off in the weeds to take a leak and found a small pot farm."
"All those condoms and underwear in a neat pile underneath the bridge."
Pretty soon we were home. And except for the punch in the face by the falling seed cone that almost blinded me and caused a horrific crash, it was a perfectly normal day.
The horrible crushing death of anonymity
December 20, 2012 § 28 Comments
It happened on December 13, 2012, at 10:16 PM. I would have missed it entirely had Lee Slone not posted the briefest of requiems. It was the farewell of an Internet character known by his Twitter handle as Captaintbag1. Most people called him Captain Tbag. I called him Cap Taintbag.
He accepted either appellation, and many others besides. He was a genius.
And now he's gone, vanished into the ether, or the Home for Deleted Tweeters, or the Stumblehole of Vanished Tumblrs.
He was a genius because he did something completely new with the English language. He invented a vernacular that was idiomatic, yet perfectly grammatical even as it upended all rules of speling and gramar to create something funny, and beautiful, and most of all, new.
"There is no new thing new under the sun," it is written in Ecclesiastes 1:9, and with the exception of electronic shifting and Prez's color combos, it's true. Everything that is has, more or less, already been.
But not Cap Taintbag. He was beyond rare because he was truly an original writer. He left the orbit of rarity and reached the sublime by also being witty, and powerful, and able to convey the truth in his 144-character mind-and-sight-and-sound-bites.
Hope you got to enjoy him while he was around. He was the best.
Who killed Taintbag?
Sad to say, he killed himself. His last few tweets make the reason clear: His persona, his character, his wit and his art were unsustainable.
They were unsustainable, in my opinion, because of his anonymity.
The Internet's chief promise to many is its assurance of anonymity. All of those things you're afraid to say because of your job, your spouse, your kids, your teachers, the police, the New National Surveillance Society, whatever…you can say them on the Internet under cover of a clever handle.
Taintbag blazed a path through the lies and hypocrisy of doping in cycling. He became an interlocutor who easily cowed and trampled the false bravado and attendant falsehoods of Vaughters and his apologists. He became a knife-like analyst who could, with a few charts and a few ungramatical mispelings, slice to ribbons the claims that Racer A and Racer B and Racer C won the Tour de D clean.
He was funny as hell, and through it all he reeked of kindness and decency and self-deprecation and humanity.
He was a wanker who you just knew was smarter at the keyboard than he was good on the bike, but somehow you didn't hold it against him, and you loved him for it all the more.
But he learned a hard lesson: When you become a masked avenger you have to forfeit the You under the mask. You become the Dark Knight, only, since it's reality not tveality or movieality, there aren't any super powers or smokin' hot wenches or fantastic successes that come with it.
You're just an anonymous slob afraid to rip off the mask and let the You fill up the space formerly occupied by the outsized mask and the superhero get-up.
Taintbag swirled down the drain of his own creation, the dissonance between his persona and his real self eventually becoming so great that he pulled the plug himself. Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle.
I imagine that he's a school teacher or a bureaucrat somewhere, incredibly relieved at having set his burden down. Now he can go back to his beloved MTB and tech talk, only wistfully, every once in a while, thinking about Cap Taintbag and maybe even telling himself that he can pick it back up again whenever he wants, even though he knows, I know, we all know, he won't, and more importantly, he can't.
Once Bruce Wayne razes the cave and tosses the outfit, he's done.
The power of your real name
I admired and envied Taintbag. I admired him because he always took the side of right. I envied him because he was an original and a brilliant writer. He was a guy worthy of the highest praise I can muster for anyone, ever: He was a writer worth plagiarizing.
But I pitied him in his anonymity. He was ultimately a coward, a man possessed of great talent and insight and wisdom and decency who was too afraid of the truth to throw himself headlong into it, to announce himself to us so that we could thank him, admire him, and put ourselves at his feet. He had all the qualities of greatness except the one quality that would have made him so: The guts to use his name.
I've seen the transformative power that comes with discarding anonymity. Patrick Brady used to be an anonymous blogger who wrote under a pseudonym. One day coming back from Cross Creek I told him to quit being a chickenshit, to ditch the pseudonym, and to start signing his real name to his opinions.
He took my advice and now steers the helm of one of the most influential publications in cycling. He put aside the crippling anonymity of pseudonymous writing and let the You fill the space, then grow beyond it. That's the power that comes with owning your opinions, with signing your name, your real one, and letting the chips fall where they may.
That's the difference between people of character, and just plain old people.
When I read the comments that people post to this blog, and I read them religiously, I feel so much respect and admiration for those who cast aside the protections of handles and monikers and fake names and come here to announce themselves as they are, with the names given them by those who brought them into this world.
They stomp around in this Internet cycling gutter and do it in the open. They know that the real currency of real dialogue is real names.
Taintbag, I miss you more than you know. You were master of the Twittersphere, chickenshit and all. The next time you step forward, if you ever do, it will be under your real name, and no one will ever know that you were he.
But shoot me a sly wink. Then I'll know it's you. And we can continue on our separate ways, if that's how it's meant to be.
Unlaboring for nationals
September 2, 2011 § 4 Comments
Monday is Labor Day, a time of celebration and rest for those whose efforts and occupations keep this great country moving. It less well known that the Friday preceding Labor Day is also celebrated as "Unlabor Day," a time when we doff our hats to those who have been able to milk the system so that they may enjoy a wonderful lifestyle without having to lift a finger. One among our small cadre of South Bay cyclists stands particularly tall in this regard (not naming any names), and today a stellar lineup including Rodley, Marcus Aurelius, King Harold, Howard Hughes of the South Bay, the Chief, and Jaegermeister spent Unlabor Day morning on the stoop drinking coffee, telling lies, and watching a dog urinate on the bikes leaned against the hitching post. My bike.
Big Mike accompanied us from Malaga Cove, but turned back at MBSB in order not to be photographed and therefore publicly associated with the unwashed. Mr. I'm In Trial was in trial, and the Honey Badger sent his regrets. Jack from Illinois (not his real name) was a no-show, but with us in spirit. A very angry and evil spirit, might I add.
Jeff K. made a cameo ride by and nodded in our direction without actually saying "hello," "good morning," or "fuck you, losers." That's okay; I'm sure at least one of those thoughts crossed his mind, and that's good enough for me. Jeff and G$ are representing the slackers of the South Bay at Master's Nationals in Bend this weekend, and in further celebration of Unlabor Day we gave thanks to those godlike men willing to labor in the saddle for glory even as we ordered a second round of scones. The Chief, who is in serious training for MT4, got in a particularly hearty ride by going all the way back with us to Hermosa Beach before heading home, which gave him a total of five miles for the morning. Unlaborers of the world, unite!
South Bay form report for 2/8/2011: Angel to the Freds
February 8, 2011 § 2 Comments
Who's "hot" in the South Bay isn't going to cut it this time–more like who's on fire? That, of course, would be the guy with the burning orange head, the blazing orange glasses, the incendiary orange socks, the flaming orange team, the guy you may know as Greg Leibert but who the rest of us on the South Bay wanker brigade politely address as "Sir."
Greg's on-fire status as leader of the Big Orange cycling team was confirmed by his solo 20-mile breakaway win in the state's toughest road competition, the 2011 edition of the Boulevard Road Race. He won it by crushing the competition and by riding on the back of a coordinated and committed team.
After you've had your head staved in by Sir Orange you tend to sit around post-race talking with other abused and broken wankers, and the conversation is always the same.
"How's that bastard do that?"
"Iunno. Iuz feeling great and then bam shit. Man I'm trashed."
"Un. Gotny food?"
"Un. You?"
"Un. Later."
Then everybody gets back into their cars and drives home, hoping that Sir Orange sits out the next weekend or that maybe he decides to sell his bike and learn to crochet.
How he does it: Cycling secrets of Greg Leibert revealed
Many point to his ideal size, long legs, background as a competitive NCAA Division I runner at KU, tremendous aerobic capacity, ability to suffer, attacking style of riding, effective use of team tactics, dedication to training, years of experience racing in Southern California, intense will to win, terror of full-time employment, and love of the sport as the key factors in his success.
I'm not buying any of it.
All you have to do to understand his path to greatness is hang around his car before the race. Suddenly, about fifteen minutes before the start, shitfaced looking, cockroach-scuttling, smelly little cyclists wearing various team jerseys begin to congregate around the open hatchback. They're all holding seven or eight water bottles, and the conversation goes like this:
"Hey, Maggs. How's it going?"
"Fine, Freddy, honey, how've you been?" Maggie the Fred Angel is always sweet no matter how loathsome the roachbag.
"Good, good, hey, can you give me some handups in the race?"
"Sure, sweetie, you got it!"
"Now this blue one is glucosamine with ginkgo extract. I need it halfway through the first lap at about mile 11.2. This other blue one, you can tell it has the amino acids because it's not as deep blue, here, just hold it up to the light like so. I need this midway through the second lap, but not too far after the second hill. This third one, kind of with the aquamarine tint, this is the stuff I need most of all, third lap, okay? It's got the beetle urine extract and powder of tiger penis."
Maggie smiles kindly through the speech. "Could you do me a favor, sweetie?"
"Oh yeah, sure, anything for you, Maggs. You're the best!"
"Why don't you put your name on the bottles? See these other 413 just like yours? It's sometimes hard to tell them apart with you guys coming through in a 200-man pack at 25mph."
"Oh, yeah, 'course, anything for you, Maggs." Roachbag then skulks away to his team car, pleased to have helped out Maggie by putting his name on the bottle. Fortunately, Maggie will have zero problem with his hand-up because unlike Greg, we of the wanker brigade will be coming through at 12 mph in ones and twos–an easy strike for a pro like Maggie.
And of course roachbag helps Maggie out after the race, too. "Hey Maggs, got my bottles?"
"Sure thing, Hon, right here!" She hands him his nasty, smelly bottles that he's tossed aside at the feed zone and dotted with specks of dried spit, and he gives her the one thing that she's just dying for above all else: a big, fat, 15-second hug from a snot-encrusted, salt covered, unshaven, shit stinking roachbag biker. You'll have to look quick–it's the only time you'll ever see anything on her face other than a smile.
The Fred Angel who does it all
While the rest of the wanker brigade is trying to figure out which days Sir Orange rests on, what his FTP is (he doesn't know himself), his training schedule and diet, they are missing out on what truly sets him above mere mortals: it's Maggie.
Without her, he'd never have won a race simply because he'd never have gotten to the line on time. Last year at Boulevard he was getting dressed in the washateria, and would still have been wrestling with his package when the race went off had Maggie not dragged him out, stuffed him on his bike, and made him get to the line. Without her, he'd never have a full water bottle, never reach the destination city, never get registered, and if, by some miracle he were able to do all those things by himself, he'd be DQ'd for racing without his number pinned on.
And it's more than the mechanics of navigating, organizing, feeding, and otherwise guiding this Giant of the Peloverse so that he shows up ready to rage and destroy. Most of us with a significant other learned long ago to say quietly, and only at 11:00 p.m. the night before the race when she's either asleep or almost asleep, "I'm going to the race tomorrow." Then we hightail it out of the house at 6:00 a.m. and pray we get out before anyone wakes up.
And although wives rightly despise the activity, what they really can't stand is having a marital social life that revolves around other cyclists. It's bad enough that they have to hear a replay of each pedal stroke from the four-hour training ride as told by the deadweight they married in a fit of desperation, misplaced hope, or while in a drug coma, but having to "socialize" with people who rehash the rehash goes far beyond what most women can endure. Throw into the mix the gossiping, guttersniping, blogging, and preening in front of the mirror with $700 in new lycra, and it's enough to wreck any marriage.
Not so with Maggie. No matter how lowly, depraved, misbegotten, deluded, or downright maggoty the cyclist, Maggie the Fred Angel always has a smile and a good word to spare. The toxic environment of the bike world seems not to bother her in the least, creating a perfectly acclimatized bubble in which Sir Orange can reach his maximum potential.
So the next time you wonder why he's beaten you senseless, just take a look over at Maggie. And if you're one of the roachbags with a water bottle, here's a hint: See's Chocolates takes orders online.
South Bay Form Report: The truth about Charon
January 24, 2011 § Leave a comment
First time I ever saw Charon I thought, "Who is that guy? What's wrong with that crazy guy who doesn't know how to glue on a freaking tire?"
We were barreling into the turn before the finish line at Eldo, it must have been April 2008, and this Sho-Air guy a few wheels ahead of me rolled a tubular on his fancy carbon rims. He went down quicker and harder than a hooker on a thousand-dollar trick, bounced off the tarmac and stood there in the middle of the field with bikes whizzing by, dodging, swerving, cussing, and doing everything you couldn't imagine except slam into him, the stink from his melted carbon wheel spitting smoke and dust into the air and that rolled tire hanging off the busted rim like a twisted old dog's tongue lolling on the pavement.
That was Charon, he of the not-real-well-glued-on-tire, soon to be he-whose-tires-were-always-glued-on-so-hard-that-you'll-need-vicegrip-pliers-to-get-them-off.
I did a few more Eldos that year, and never saw him roll another tire. Actually, I never saw him much at all, except at the beginning of the race. No matter where I finished, he was always across the line so far ahead of me that to have really effectively congratulated him I would have needed to have sent him a letter or called him on his cell. Thing about Charon was that he was always smiling, always happy to meet people, always in a good mood.
Sure, he was happy. Sure, he was nice. Sure, everyone liked him. Sure, he was handsome. Sure, he was a rocket on a bike. None of that mattered to me, though: I saw through to the real Charon. And I'm going to introduce him to you here.
You pays your nickel and you takes your chance
If you will do me a favor, scroll down a few blog entries and you'll see one of my posts regarding "Who's Hot." It lists, down at the bottom, Dan G., who celebrated his first race yesterday with a win. See? I was right. It also lists, higher up, Charon S., and gives the inside tip: he's fully prepared and ready to rock. On Sunday at the Dominguez Hills crit put on by Chris Lotts and world-renowned California Bicycle Racing, 90+ knuckleheads showed up to blast around in a circle for an hour in the 30+ race.
I was one of them. Charon was one of the others. I finished in the churning, heaving, hopeless middle of the pack. Charon took fourth, and would have won if Bert G. hadn't decided to lead out the sprint by digging a pedal and launching four hundred feet into the air and onto the pavement head-first. 90 guys. Fourth place. Think it's easy? There's another one on February 20 where you can come out and show us how it's done.
Charon's placing wasn't just impressive because I labeled him an uber-hammer in my galactically-famous Form Report. It wasn't just impressive because he beat out 86 other idiots in a mad, high speed death scramble for a moldy snack and cheap bottle of wine. It was impressive because to get to the line he had to pick his way through an earlier mass pileup, hold his position with five laps to go, bull his way onto the right wheel in the closing lap, fight off the scavengers and jackals trying to edge him out for position in the sprint, avoid a death crash in the final turn, and do all of that without expending any more energy than absolutely necessary so that when it came time to uncork the champagne bottle, it would uncork with a vengeance. It was a risky, nasty business that required a big, fat, hairy nutsack about the size of a shotput.
Will the real Charon please stand up?
Of course he won't. That's because, like I said earlier, he's got a secret side. It's soft-spoken or utterly mute, it's hidden behind a smiling mask, and it never, ever grins. The only prisoners it ever takes are already dead. This is Charon the bike racer: dialed in and focused on winning, and in case you didn't notice, or didn't want to notice, or weren't smart enough to notice, it means he's intent on beating the snot out of the competition, all of it, including YOU.
What makes Charon the bike racer even scarier is that he doesn't ride dirty. No nasty moves (aside from the occasional poorly glued on tire), no cheap shots, nothing mean or sleazy or low. He rides fair and he beats you fair and whips your ass with class.
So those of you who know and love Charon the nice guy are asking, "Who the hell are you? How are you pretending to know Charon? He smacks you around in bike races like a boxer beating a legless chicken. Where do you get off with all this crap?"
Where I get off with all my crap
The answer, of course, is that I don't really know any of those things about Charon–except that he's the nicest guy in the peloton and he really did screw up that time by not gluing on his tire. I'm just speculating from afar, as I've never gotten close enough to him in a finish to see how he rides; he's just too damned fast. Mostly I'm guessing, because even old man bike racing is fast and hard and tough, and when you place that highly in a 90-man field with half the guys going for the win, you have to be hard and smart and quick and possess a big old hairy, gnarly pair.
So where I'm going is this, South Bay Cycling Prediction Number Two for the season: Charon is going to win a whole bunch of races this year. And just because he's smiling at you and giving you training advice and inspiring you with his positive attitude doesn't mean he isn't going to squash you like a bug when there's only a couple hundred meters to the bright white line.

An accurate look at Shakespeare's time Apr 1, 2010
by CharlesJ
"The Merchant of Venice" is often condemned for its look at the Jewish community during Shakespeare's day, but it is sadly accurate to that time: antisemitism was rife across Europe and the feelings expressed by characters are ones that were felt by most of the non-Jewish society. It may disturb readers on this side of the Holocaust to read a play that portrays the Jew as the stereotypical hard-nosed banker, but it must at least be recognized that the sentiments expressed here were, however wrong, accurate to the age.
As for the rest of the play, it has some memorable characters (such as Portia, the heroine), a light-hearted brand of romance, and a few parts of comedy that lighten up the story considerably. The style was enjoyable and, if you can view the antisemitism without taking too much offence, the play is worth reading.

Last week, Vladimir Putin's Russia used a bit of undersea derring-do to remind us that chess is its national sport. Two deep-ocean submersibles were dispatched to the Arctic floor ostensibly for the purpose of laying claim to the Lomonosov Ridge — and, more importantly, to the potentially vast oil, gas and mineral resources that may lie within a zone 200 miles wide on either side of that underwater mountain range. This move may have been a grandmaster's feint, however, masking another purpose: blackmailing the United States into ratifying the defective Law of the Sea Treaty (LOST).
If the latter were its hidden agenda, the Kremlin could only have been gratified by the response of the U.S. State Department to the Russian gambit. Tom Casey, Foggy Bottom's deputy spokesman, declared the United States was hindered in challenging Russia's outlandish dibs on, as a practical matter, most of the floor of the Arctic Ocean: "The Russian government is pursuing a claim under their right to do so as members [sic] of the Law of the Sea Convention. This is something that unfortunately, the United States is not in a position to do because we have yet to ratify that convention and it's one of the reasons why we are interested and supportive of having that treaty be ratified by the U.S. Senate."
The State Department can be relied upon to favor U.S. participation in international treaties. But why would the Russians be so keen to have the United States ratify the Law of the Sea Treaty? The short answer is that LOST is disadvantageous to the United States. It was designed by the former Soviet Union and its so-called "nonaligned" allies in the Third World as an exercise in supranational and socialist arrangements. In particular, these are designed to assure access to the wealth of "international commons" (in this case, the deep oceans' seabeds) not just to developed nations but to undeveloped — even land-locked — ones as well.
Interestingly, the last time the Russians attempted to make unwarranted claims to the Arctic floor was back in 2001. On that occasion, the Bush administration successfully demonstrated what is true in the case of the Lomonosov Ridge, as well: There is no scientific basis for Moscow's assertions that these seabeds are connected to Russia's continental shelf and, therefore, part of its territory.
The Bush team also demonstrated that the United States could accomplish such a result without being a party to LOST — and, therefore, subject to its binding dispute resolution mechanisms that are stacked against this country. As a nonmember, the U.S. retained the full panoply of tools to parry the first Russian ploy: bilateral diplomacy, relations with the four other littoral states who share our interest in blocking such Kremlin overreach, economic and financial pressure and, if all else failed, naval power.
Things would be quite different if the Senate is buffaloed in coming weeks into ratifying the Law of the Sea Treaty, thanks to the combined efforts of the Russians, the State Department and various special interests (including, regrettably, the U.S. Navy — whose lawyers dubiously are counting on international law to offset the undue contraction of the Navy's fleets when it comes to assuring free passage through territorial waters).
Under such circumstances, the United States would be obliged to accept the diktat of one of the multilateral agencies spawned by LOST, a 21-nation Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf. Most of the commission's members are not particularly friendly to the United States. This time around, they could overlook the lack of scientific merit to the latest Russian claim and allocate most, if not all, of the Arctic's sea beds to a newly and aggressively resurgent Kremlin. As a state party to the Treaty, America would have to go along.
Now, the treaty's proponents assure us that such an outcome would not occur as long as "we have a place at the table" where such negotiations occur. They also assert that, as a member, America could itself lay claim to some 600 square miles of additional Arctic seabeds.
We have had enough bad experience with multilateral organizations to know that — as with our experience with Russia's seabed-grab gambit of 2001 — the only real check on such institutions is our ability to refuse to accept the dictates of majorities typically made up of countries that are hostile to us. Especially when it comes to matters of great importance to our national security and economic interests, which is certainly true of questions involving the use of the oceans and the 70 percent of the Earth's surface beneath them, we simply cannot afford to subordinate our sovereignty to the whims of supranational entities.
President Ronald Reagan appreciated this reality and refused to sign the Law of the Sea Treaty. Proponents assert that changes he thought necessary have been made. Yet, one of those who represented the Reagan administration during LOST negotiations, Doug Bandow, underscored in an article in the American Spectator last week why Mr. Reagan would surely still feel the same way: "Despite improvements, (that is, making an awful treaty slightly less bad), the essentials of the LOST system remain unchanged."
What Mr. Putin's Russia says it has found in the way of a new national claim to Arctic resources will only translate into U.S. ratification of LOST if senators ignore the continuing saliency of President Reagan's objections and subordinate our sovereignty to this still-seriously-defective "system."

I just love this stuff!! This is the only moisturizer I can wear underneath my bb cream without making me oily/greasy. I will be using this beauty forever!

An allrounder if there is one. I never go without having a tube or pot of this in my bathroom!
It's super moisturizing, doesn't clog pores & leaves my skin so soft.
I forgot how amazing this creme is! I purchased a tub yesterday to keep in my backpack on the go and wow, using it this morning brings back so many good memories. I used to use this constantly and I just LOVE the fragrance. It's a silky consistency that soothes my very dry, sensitive skin. I've used Aveeno, Cetaphil, Clinique, Olay, etc. But this is seriously one of the best body cremes out there. It's ultra light yet as hydrating as a thick body cream without the greasy-factor. I'm not sure if I would use this on my face, but I've certainly considered it. It's a definite must have!! And super cheap. Most stores carry this 6 oz tub for around $5!

a little background, i have oily skin and i live in hot and humid Philippines. moisturizers tend to make me sticky and facial moisturizers tend to make me greasy. two hours after a shower, and my nose is shiny. ive read some really good reviews so i decided to buy this as a hand cream. whoa! works great. my skin drinks it up and it makes it visibly better. with trepidation, i used this on my face. im 36 and i have noticed my face looking gaut and dull. WOOOOOOWWW!!! i saw a big difference. my face is glowy, not shiny and my cheeks seem plumper. i love it. i have been using it for a month and no break outs. it DOES NOT make my makeup slide off and its super cheap too. it"s a wonderful product i will keep on buying.
PS. i have tried moisturizers from clarins, estee lauder, garnier, iwhite, and face shop oil free and i like this the best. its just that the other products worked fine but this one showed a remarkable difference in my skin.

I don't even know how I started using this cream for my face but man I'm glad I did. It's a no nonsense super comforting soft cream with a gel-like consistency that has a light fresh scent. It's perfect for my face. It visually plumps up the skin and depending on how little or how much you use it can be used year round.
I have also tried the classic Nivea Creme in the blue tin but it's just to thick and heavy for me. When I stumbled across this I fell in love.
It doesn't cause any sensitive reaction to my skin nor does it make my eyes water as some eye creams are prone to do. I admit I was a bit leery when I first started using it - was almost expecting it to clog my pores or cause problems. Nothing at all - just soft, hydrated, smooth & healthy looking skin.
Love it. It is economical and can be found pretty much anywhere. Even supermarkets. The price is extremely low and it's just a holy grail product to me. You can use it anywhere on your body as well. If you are a stickler for product hygiene I recommend the tube but it is also available in a pot like container as well.
If I had to pare down my regimen of skincare this would definitely be a "can not live without" product. Dove Soap + Nivea Soft Cream = Nice Complexion!

Finally , I have found a spare moisturiser for my Holy Grail daycream :) ..It's not My HG as the J&J Triple Effects one , but it's very good as it hydrates my combo skin without making it greasy ..It doesn't have SPF in it so it's perfect under MU in the evening or when taking photos .. very good price and easily available ..I am happy with my J&J but I cannot find it easily so I am using it sparingly ..
This is highly recommended for ladies with combo to dry (like me) skin or in winter ..
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I use this as a daily body moisturiser - it's lightly fragrant, sinks into the skin well, cheap and mine comes in a tube which is very handy. Unlike my Clinique deep comfort moisturiser, this one doesn't feel oily on my skin afterwards and doesn't leave any sticky residual.
Definitely a good every day body moisturiser but given the ingredients, I wouldn't use it on my face which is sensitive and acne prone.
On the front of mine, it advertises that it comes with jojoba oil and Vitamin E but I am not sure how much is in there!
I really loved this. I really did. I am a 22 year old young woman. I have bought moisturisers from leading brands such as L'occitane, chanel, expensive organic creams, biotherm, estee lauder everything! When i tried this i don't know why i didn't find this sooner. My skin is very dry and dehydrated, i used this and for the first time in a very long time my skin is no longer dry!! It is baby smooth. This is best applied after the shower so it sinks right in. The price is unbelievable cheap and works better than anything i have ever used before! A little goes a long way as with all moisturisers don't put so much on unlee you want your face to be a greasy mess. Love this!
I love this so much. It's cheap and it works wonderfully. A friend recommended it to me years ago (I can't remember how long ago), I bought it, and it just sat on my shelf for however long, I picked it up a few months ago when I couldn't find a good moisturiser - I'll never buy anything else again. My only complaint is that it's slightly thick so it doesn't sink in right away, so I'd only use this for night time. However, it does give that dewy look which I know a lot of people go for!

Oh, no, no, no…not "that" kind of intimacy. Though it wouldn't be the first time I've written about that on this blog.
I mean the kind of closeness that comes when we remove the walls we put up.
In this case I'm talking about the physical walls of a car.
I have wanted to take on the challenge of biking my youngest child to her school—4 miles away. (My other children go to neighborhood schools that are close enough for them to walk.) I have been neglecting my bike a lot lately. My go-to vehicle has definitely been my car. So, I'm out of shape, out of practice and my kid just keeps growing bigger and heavier as time goes on. With the upcoming change in season, however, my window for biking was/is closing. Last week I did it! It took me 40 minutes, each way and the next day I couldn't walk down the stairs without wincing. But I recovered and I did it again yesterday. And again today. (If you live in my area you know how delicious this weather has been. That's not going to last.)
Here are examples of the intimacy you might experience while biking around town:
{I'm loving the colors}
Intimacy with the crunchy leaves and the sun on your arms and of the simple conversations with your darling child sitting in the trailer.
Intimacy with the laws of physics. And how fun it is to zoom down the big, big hill and scream "WAHOO" together with that child.
Intimacy, during that delighted screaming of "WAHOO," of all the inadvertent protein that just flew into your mouth. Note: remember to floss tonight.
Intimacy with those same laws of physics on the way back UP that…big…..(pant, pant)……BIG……(huff…huff)….
Hey, for those who were hoping for some heavy breathing in this post, that was it.
(I'll wait for you to catch your breath.)
Intimacy with some of the best parking spots at the store. Right. Up. Front. "In your face, cars!"
Intimacy with the elements. Blue skies, warm sun, colorful trees. You are not a fan of getting intimate with windy days, though. You two are not friends.
{Pedestrian and biking trail in between home and school}
Intimacy with the roads and the sidewalks. And the mental list your backside is making for the city maintenance crews.
Intimacy with cars. And drivers. You've got "special" words and "special" looks-with-your-eyes that you save for those really, really close, close moments together.
Intimacy with the subtle fragrance of the orchards as you pass by and with the crisp water that quenches your thirst while waiting at a stoplight.
Intimacy with the various places on your body that
perspire glow.
Intimacy with the people you see. When you're rolling around on a bike, no barriers, you notice people more. You find that you're much friendlier with others when biking. When you see other people out biking, you're like, "Hey, look at us! We are BOTH biking! Look at that! We're pretty much best friends now! Because we're both biking!" The relative novelty of it all binds us together. The same secret-society phenomenon occurs when hiking trails in the wilderness. (I imagine this does not occur in places like Copenhagen, where EVERYONE bikes. Not so novel.)
By contrast, how many times do you make a new bosom friend when driving? At a stoplight, you look over and you wave and smile and gesture. The other driver rolls down the window and looks confused. "Look at us!!" you shout happily and point. "We're BOTH driving!! In cars! Isn't that great?!" Smile and wave and a big thumbs-up to your new best friend.
Yeah, maybe not so much.
{What kinds of things do you notice when you're biking or walking?}
*I'm* not the best spokesmodel for bike culture, but *this* blog is drool-worthy fabulous:
