Challenges of a Future Bike-Sharing System: Manila
Recently developed BGC benefits from some of the infrastructural prerequisites that make it "bikeable" (adequate street lighting, safety, traffic signals, enforcement of parking rules etc.), and as such was deemed the ideal place in Manila to experiment the project and introduce it to the people. The demonstration will consist of two stations of about 10 bikes each, one located near Market-Market and the other one at the other end of Bonifacio High Street (a liveable and wide pedestrian walkway) to connect the offices to the bus drop off area notably.
Bonifacio High Street
The ADB and Clean Air Asia follow the world trend of implementing a 3rd generation bike sharing system which experienced its first successes in Lyon, France and which is now well anchored in cities such as Paris and Hangzhou, China. Tutubi answers the growing need to make cities greener and more liveable, and could help Manila get rid of its smog in many ways. Bikes can be a relevant alternative to the insane daily congestion, allowing people to save time, to enjoy the sunny weather, and to complete their trips without using their own cars or the polluting jeepneys plying through the city. Additionally, increased physical activity through biking brings significant health benefits that should not be neglected, such as reduced risks of cancer, heart disease and diabetes.
Establishing a bike-sharing system in Manila however presents tremendous challenges. Changing the mentality of people, who are not accustomed to this mode of transport and may not understand the point of biking, is a priority for the success of the operation. Campaigning and assistance during the demonstration project – which should last a few months in 2013 – will have the mission to make the Tutubi a familiar and essential means of mobility in the eyes of people. The necessary behavioral change will also have to target authorities and business owners who will have a word on the expected introduction of the system in other parts of the city, to make them aware of the benefits of the bike-sharing system (in terms of public health, attractiveness, liveability and revenue potential).
Stakeholders will have to explore how the Tutubi can be implemented at a wider scale in Metro Manila, which does not present an urban core but a scattered development pattern where dangerous highways are the privileged connections between cities. The capital city of the Philippines indeed is a massively sprawled metropolitan region with poor linkage between its cities, making the point of biking highly restricted to a delimited area, while most people commute over several kilometers everyday. The traditional strategies for the implementation of a bike sharing system will have to be rethought to adapt to the local land use context, running the risk of destroying the comprehensive character of a project which is so successful in some countries of Europe.
Metro Manila also raises issues that Paris or Lyon never faced and which might help rethink the bike sharing scheme according to Asian standards. The street in Asia is not the same kind of public space as it is in the Western world: as Professor IEDA and Mrs. MATEO-BABIANO demonstrate in Street Space Renaissance: a Spatio-Historical Survey of Two Asian Cities (2005), "in Europe each component of an urban space has its own function such as the task of the building is to delimit the urban space, the task of the street will be to lead, and the task of the square is to assemble. In general, this is not being practiced in Asia as spaces take on a vertical, multi-functional dimension wherein each function is segregated by time". Conflicts and cohabitation of users on the sidewalks and in the streets is indeed common in Asia, for this reason Tutubi may find obstacles on its way. Nonetheless, the success of the bike-sharing system in Hangzhou proves that this is possible, but clearing the way for bikes often goes with development. Is the bike-sharing system only adapted to developed cities? Lots of lessons are to be learnt from Manila's experience in 2013.

I am not a resident of BGC but live about 10 minutes away. I'm excited to try out the bike sharing system, and hope that it will become a success. However I am rather disappointed that there isn't a bike station near the MRT Ayala station. This would have made the bike system a true part of the larger mass transit network instead of just a means to get around the BGC.
"It is a common sight everywhere to see old things get replaced with new ones. It not only makes the place much more pleasant to the eyes physically, but it also benefits people in terms of providing amenities and advanced facilities. It is just how things are to keep up with the progression and advancement of life. However, since the removal of I-10 is not going to bring only benefits, but also ..."
"Now that winter is coming, it is good to have a solid plan to avoid longer electricity outages. I know that this is a constant issue, especially with energy storage, but I have seen more and more countries adapting to solar energy without having to go thru energy storage. I just hope to have a more solid and concrete plan on this laid out in the future. "

The Australian dollar hovered at a four-year low early on Wednesday, in an otherwise aimless currency market ahead of the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday.» Read More
The dollar recovered against the yen on Tuesday as investors sought to take advantage of the previous day's cheapening to buy back the U.S. currency.
The dollar plunged against a broad swath of currencies on Monday as weak U.S. manufacturing data curbed expectations that the Fed will rein in its bond purchases soon.
The dollar rose Friday and was headed for its eighth straight month of gains against the yen on robust U.S. economic data.
The U.S. dollar fell to a three-week low against the euro after weaker-than-expected U.S. economic data boosted expectations the Fed will keep its monetary stimulus in place.
The dollar retreated on Wednesday as U.S. Treasury yields eased from more than one-year highs, although most investors are convinced the greenback's upward trend is intact.
The dollar rebounded against the euro and yen Tuesday after robust U.S. economic data reinforced expectations the Federal Reserve may start unwinding its stimulus program.
The dollar rose against the euro on Friday, recovering from an early swoon after better-than-expected U.S. durable goods data for April eased investor concerns about the U.S. economy.
The dollar was on track for its biggest daily drop in more than five weeks against the yen after a sharp slide in Japanese stocks and weak Chinese factory activity data.
The dollar rallied to trade at a fresh 4 1/2-year high against the yen after Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke warned that holding interest rates too low for too long has its risks.
The U.S. dollar fell against the euro on Tuesday after St. Louis Federal Reserve President James Bullard dented expectations the U.S. central bank may taper its bond purchases.
The U.S. dollar fell against the euro and yen on Monday as traders pared back expectations Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke would hint at tapering bond purchases this week.
The dollar rose against a swath of currencies on Friday, rocketing to 4 1/2-year high against Japan's yen.
The U.S. dollar recovered to trade higher against the euro and yen late Thursday afternoon in a volatile session that saw the U.S. currency swing between gains and losses.
The euro fell to a six-week low against a buoyant dollar on Wednesday, hurt by an unexpectedly large contraction of the euro zone economy.
The yen fell against the dollar on Tuesday for a fourth straight session, hitting its lowest level in 4 1/2 years as signs that the U.S. economy is improving.
The dollar gained for a third straight session against the yen and euro on Monday as data showing a rise in U.S. retail sales assuaged fears of an economic slowdown.
The yen tumbled to its lowest in more than four years against the dollar on Friday on data showing Japanese investors were buying more foreign assets.
The U.S. dollar skyrocketed to its highest level against the Japanese yen in over four years on Thursday, piercing the key technical and psychological 100 yen-per-dollar mark.
The euro rose against the dollar after an unexpected rise in German industrial output was seen making a near-term euro zone interest rate cut less likely.
The euro firmed across the board on Tuesday after data showing German industrial orders beat forecasts, but the prospect of further monetary easing could limit its gains.

He was picked off at first after the walk. -SS Didi Gregorius notched a hit in four at-bats. -RHP Drew Hayes allowed one hit in an otherwise scoreless inning. ----- Peoria dropped its second straight game on Saturday, losing 4-1 to the Surprise Saguaros. They still hold a league-leading 11-6 record. -SS Gregorius was 0-3 with a strikeout in this one. -RHP Josh Ravin tossed a perfect inning to bring his ERA down to 8.10.

Preserving a Rich Heritage: Grad Emma Quispe» Submitted by dlrobey on Tue, 09/23/2014 - 17:55. »
Steeped in the rich heritage of the Aymara language and culture, Emma Quispe Mamani graduated from the Public University of El Alto in linguistics and languages.
Primitiva and the President» Submitted by Vickey on Thu, 09/18/2014 - 20:49. »
Primitiva Castaya Quispe felt honored and gratified to co-present garments made by her Aymara textiles class to President Evo Morales during his visit to her school.
Primitiva is studying textile engineering at the "Tupak Katari Indigenous Amyara Bolivian University", where she's learning to produce textiles with traditional Aymara cultural symbols, using both traditional and contemporary technology.
Her class was chosen to design textiles for the president, and Primitiva and a classmate presented them in person. "It was a great honor and I was very happy to have this opportunity. The President encouraged us and thanked us for the gift we made him."
Primitiva's studies link traditional Aymara arts to international organizations that can spread appreciation for their beauty as well as provide markets.

Martha the new Geotechnical Engineer» Submitted by dlrobey on Sun, 09/14/2014 - 02:13. »
Congratulations to Martha Silva Canaviri on her graduation from the University of San Andres with a degree in Geotechnical Engineering. We're especially gratified when female students are empowered to enter traditionally male fields, particularly in a machismo culture.
(Martha and a classmate analyze materials from a field trip, above.)
Martha's coursework included environmental impact studies. In one course, she learned to recognize different layers of clay and sandy soil by color and structure.
She learned to analyze the soil and water, and to study the distinct types of vegetation and animals in an area. The course included field work and classroom study.
Martha also participated in a case study of the impact of a supermarket in Achacachi, looking at both the positive and negative effects.
Congratulations to new Nursing Assistant Sonia» Submitted by dlrobey on Sun, 09/07/2014 - 19:36. »
Congratulations to Sonia Carolina Llanque Quispe on graduating as a nursing assistant. Sonia graduated from the INFOCAL Technical Institute thanks in part to donors who supported her BQEF scholarship.
Sonia's studies included practicums in various wards in the hospital. In the Emergency Room she learned to give blood transfusions. In her community health course, she researched and made a presentation to her class about care of pregnant women in the home.
She learned to provide both physical and emotional care for patients who could not move themselves in the trauma ward, and assisted in surgery for a broken nose in the ear, nose, and throat clinic.
Sonia is particularly concerned about children's health and took part in a vaccination campaign. It was a very good experience for her training and a successful campaign.

Friends Reclaiming Aymara Culture» Submitted by Minga on Mon, 05/12/2014 - 14:42. »
Ninety five percent of the 30,000 Quakers in Bolivia are Aymara. Aymara Indians have inhabited the Altiplano from Peru down to Chile long before the Incas invaded to control the Andean commerce. The ruins at Tiwanaku (60 k from LaPaz) reveal a thriving highly developed culture which rivals the art, irrigation, and architecture of ancient Egypt. The Aymaras may have arrived in the Andes as early as 1400 BC and the Incas arrived in the Altiplano about 1440.

In Loving Memory: Newton Garver» Submitted by Jens Braun on Fri, 03/07/2014 - 23:52. »
As you may already know, Newton Garver died peacefully at home on Saturday, February 8 with his wife Anneliese present. While we regret the end of his life with us, we give thanks for the inspiration and example that Newton provided.
Bolivian Friends will hold a meeting for remembrance in celebration of the life and ministry of Newton, at Friends Church on Max Paredes tomorrow, March 8, at 10:00 am La Paz time (9 am EST).
BQE-Bolivia alumni, students, and parents, along with other Bolivian Friends who have known and worked with Newton, will be in attendance. They will meet until noon and then share an Apthapi lunch – an Aymara-style potluck.*
Bernabé Yujra, who together with "Brother Newton" began the work that grew into BQEF, writes: "We hope you will join us in spirit with your prayers this day."
A Memorial Meeting will be held at the Orchard Park Meetinghouse, 6924 E. Quaker Street St., Orchard Park, NY, on May 3 at 11 A.M. Friends who cannot make that gathering are again invited to be present in thought and prayer.

"Education is a human right with immense power to transform. On its foundation rest the cornerstones of freedom, democracy and sustainable human development." ~Kofi Annan
There is so much good work calling for our support as individuals, meetings, Friends. This time of year it can be hard to select from among the many appeals when deciding where to focus our giving.
Always, I am called back to this brilliant insight by Kofi Annan. Particularly in a small, emerging nation like Bolivia, where educated and ethical young people, living out their Quaker faith, can hold more sway in goverment and civil society. And where young Bolivian Friends like Irma Lima Tarqui give so generously of their time and treasure to help others, like the young students pictured here.

text: Well, here I would hope to discuss wether or not amnesty should be given to illegal immigrants. My side would be to give, but I want to see what everyone else thinks. Amnesty to start is nothing more than forgiveness of an illegal activity such, in this case as crossing the border illegaly. Do u guys think they should receive amnesty or at least sometype or residency?

You can find new and used doors all over Craigslist. Many are cheap, flimsy, interior doors but you'll also come across some solid gems that were removed from old homes and built from one piece. Often times the heights and widths of these older doors won't fit into modern door frames so you'll need to modify your existing door frame accordingly.
According to the Times Union, here's what you need to retrofit an old door into a new space:
1. Old door – not too warped, preferably with hardware intact
2. A very good carpenter – somebody who knows how to handle a little warping
3. Non perfectionist attitude – the idea here is that it will look like it's always been there

There is an incredible message in the story of Naaman for God's people, a message most of God's people miss which may be costing them their health and their faith.
Naaman was struck with a skin disease. So he packed up some riches as payment and went to seek healing from the king of Israel. Of course the king could not do that so the prophet Elisha came to the rescue.But Naaman already had his mind made up of how he would be healed.
"Elisha sent a messenger to say to him, "Go, wash yourself seven times in the Jordan, and your flesh will be restored and you will be cleansed.
But Naaman went away angry and said, "I thought that he would surely come out to me and stand and call on the name of the Lord his God, wave his hand over the spot and cure me of my leprosy. Are not Abana and Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Couldn't I wash in them and be cleansed?" So he turned and went off in a rage."
(2 Kings 5:10-12)
Naaman almost missed his chance to be healed because it didn't match up with the way he thought it should be done. He thought if he wasn't instantly healed by the prophet waving his hands over him, then at least it should be in a better river than the Jordan. But reluctantly, Naaman obeyed (in part due to the promptings of his servants) and followed the unconventional way of healing as he was directed. And because of that, his faith in God was restored along with his health. "Now I know that there is no God in all the world except in Israel."
God did not need a "cleaner" river like Naaman thought in order to heal him. Was it possible that God used such an unconventional way of healing Naaman in order to see where his faith really was? And if so, is it possible that God still does that today? Could it be that if we already have decided in our mind how God will heal us that God might call us to a different, maybe unconventional, way in order to simply bless us with increased faith as well?

Monday comments
This Wednesday at 7 PM at the
If that does not interest you on Wednesday night the 19th Delmar Planning and Zoning Commission will meet at 7 Pm, don't know why it has changed from their usual Thursday meeting.
An odd article about Delmar is below. I have tried to do some research on Hester Cordroy but have come up with nothing. But here is the article anyway.
Something I had not given much observation to until recently is most women seem to have a collection of odd earrings. by that mean if one earring is lost they keep the leftover one. Do they think the lost one will go searching for it's mate or just a wild hope they will someday come across that missing earring?
Walmart and Food lion have had "live" Christmas Trees for sale for the last week. By Christmas those suckers will be so dry they should go up in flames.
We purchased our Hayman sweet potatoes for thanksgiving last week
Christmas is right around the corner - get out there and shop people.
While picking up a few things at Family Dollar I was looking at those little calculators for a dollar. Back when I was in college ,in the seventies, I read an article in the Wall Street Journal that said in a few years calculators would be sold at the super market in blister packs for under $10. I found it hard to believe. So at my first job at NCR Corporation in Millsboro I had a ten key adding machine and an electronic desk calculator (made by NCR) on my desk. The calculator cost over a thousand dollars and we actually paid $150 a year for a maintenance contract on it. Well within five years calculator costs were under a hundred and we gave up the maintenance contract on them and within another year tossed the original ones in the trash. So now you pick up a calculator for a dollar that does more than the thousand dollar one, 40 years ago, and people under 40 do not believe there was a time when there was not calculators and people counted on their fingers and toes.
The number of TV shows I watch are getting less and less. The network just seem to think that the average family in America is in love with queers and the sitcoms shows just have to have at least one in the show. I enjoyed "The Millers" and this season they had to add a homo in it, so I dropped it. Now the show is being cancelled so maybe I am not the only one out there who is sick of this.

Delmar In 1891
Duel to the Death
Wilmington (Del), Sept. 11 - Delmar which is on the southern border of Delaware touching the Maryland boundary, was the scene of a terrible duel to the death between two young men last night. The principals were Frederick Williams, aged 22 years, of Laurel, and Thomas Wells, aged 26, a farmer, living at Whitesville, six miles east of Laurel. One used a pruning knife and the other a pistol. Both are in a critical condition.
From The San Francisco Call - Calif. Sept 12, 1891
Trivia Information
The following article is from http://www.socialsecurity.gov/history/ssn/misused.html:
The most misused Social Security Number of all time was 078-05-1120.
In 1938, wallet manufacturer the E. H. Ferree Company in Lockport, New York, decided to promote its product by showing how a Social Security card would fit into its wallets. A sample card, used for display purposes, was inserted in each wallet. Company Vice President and Treasurer Douglas Patterson thought it would be a clever idea to use the actual Social Security Number of his secretary, Mrs. Hilda Schrader Whitcher.
The wallet was sold by Woolworth stores and other department stores all over the country. Even though the card was only half the size of a real card, was printed all in red, and had the word "specimen" written across the face, many purchasers of the wallet adopted the SSN as their own. In the peak year of 1943, 5,755 people were using Hilda's number. The Social Security Administration acted to eliminate the problem by voiding the number and publicizing that it was incorrect to use it. Mrs. Whitcher was given a new number. However, the number continued to be used for many years. In all, over 40,000 people reported this as their SSN. As late as 1977, 12 people were still found to be using the SSN "issued by Woolworth."
Mrs. Whitcher recalled coming back from lunch one day to find her fellow workers teasing her about her new-found fame. They were singing the refrain from a popular song of the day: "Here comes the million-dollar baby from the five and ten cent store."
Although the snafu gave her a measure of fame, it was mostly a nuisance. The FBI even showed up at her door to ask her about the widespread use of her number. In later years she observed: "They started using the number. They thought it was their own. I can't understand how people can be so stupid. I can't understand that."
The New York wallet manufacturer was not the only one to cause confusion about Social Security numbers. More than a dozen similar cases have occurred over the years — usually when someone publishes a facsimile of an SSN using a made-up number. (The Whitcher case is far and away the worst involving a real SSN and an actual person.)
One embarrassing episode was the fault of the Social Security Board itself. In 1940 the Board published a pamphlet explaining the new program and showing a facsimile of a card on the cover. The card in the illustration used a made-up number of 219-09-9999. Sure enough, in 1962 a woman presented herself to the Provo, Utah, Social Security office, complaining that her new employer was refusing to accept her old Social Security number — 219-09-9999. When it was explained that this could not possibly be her number, she whipped out her copy of the 1940 pamphlet to prove that yes, indeed, it was her number!
Above is Hilda Whitcher holding her social security card.

Election Day In Delaware
The Delaware elections have some of the worst selections for candidates going this year. I am sure once again the incumbents will be reelected as it seems to be a Delaware way. I can't say any of the Delaware candidates; State level, or county level are going to do anything for Delmar, as they all live in Northern Delaware or Laurel. The same people who we have as Representative and Senator were part of the group that shut down the federal government because they couldn't do the job we sent then there to do, they are running again and in spite of not doing what they were send to Washington to do, will probably be reelected.
I will point out that altho Bob Venables has done a few things for Delmar, he has also used his weight and made veiled threats that if Delmar did not do his bidding there may be problems with bond money coming our way.

Foreign Crab Cakes - Just Say No
One Of my many gripes
Almost any seafood package I pick up in a supermarket I check to see where the seafood originated. Most shrimp, fish, prepared seafood in supermarkets come from Asia or Mexico. Usually I don't eat seafood from those areas. The seafood is bad enough when it is prepared in this country God knows what they feed the farm raised seafood and what the processing plants are like outside the United States.
This however is another issue I have, these crab cakes are made by Handy Seafood headquartered in Salisbury. Since it is Handy you would think it is from local crab but no, like Phillips restaurant, these crab cakes are prepared in Indonesia.
From their website; Handy International is a family-owned company with over 100 years of quality seafood processing. Products include soft crabs, crab meat, crab cakes, crab specialty items, oysters and artisanal fish.
Now my mind is certainly failing me but as I recall Handy Seafood was owned at one time (1988) by Taiyo oil Company - a Japanese Oil company. Then Terry Conway who use to work at Perdue farms and later Mash's ham in Baltimore entered the picture. So I guess this is one of those things where if the words taken individually they are true but as a whole it is false. Yes, it is family owned but not for a hundred years by the same family. It is like that political TV commercial Senator Tom Carper gives for Sean Barney (running for Delaware treasurer) in which he says after 9/11 Sean joined the marines. True Sean may have joined the Marines after 911 but I doubt 911 was the reason for him joining the marines. Finally what in the hell are artisanal fish?
Long story short I didn't buy the crab cakes.

The Wedding
http://www.liriodendron.com/ a Palladian-styled mansion. If we did not have a GPS in the vehicle we never would have found it.
The people being married were Jonathan Dickerson and Kristin Voegtline. Jonathan is the son of a cousin of mine.
They discovered one another on a on-line computer dating service. Behind them are paper crane garland or chains. I didn't try to count them to see if there were the traditional 1,000 but because folding a crane takes time, patience and understanding (qualities considered vital in a marriage) 1,000 hand folded cranes are considered good luck.
Kristin has her PhD and is a postdoctoral research fellow at John Hopkins Bloombergs School of Public Health so the number of goats and sheep Jonathan had too come up with for her was high.
and to add to the enjoyment; an open bar, hor's d hoerves, DJ, and food.
Great crab balls and drinks
Weddings are almost always happy events, In the novel "The Five People You Meet In Heaven" by Mitch Albom, the wife ( Marguerite) leads Eddie (the main character) thru a Heaven of weddings receptions because the receptions were filled with love and happiness which was her idea of Heaven.

To help boost the weak sales of Japanese nori manufacturer that was affected by the 2011 tsunami, I&S BBDO, a Japanese ad agency, developed a series of intricately laser-cut seaweed. Each sheet from "design nori" series – Sakura (Cherry Blossoms), Mizutama (Water Drops), Asanoha (Hemp), Kikkou (Turtle Seashell), and Kumikkou (Tortoise Shell) – is based on Japanese history or symbology and represents happiness, good fortune, and longevity.

Beginner's Mind: A Back-to-Basics Yoga Sequence
Yoga classes that are open to all levels are a helpful resource for all, regardless of experience. New students won't feel overwhelmed by arm balances or wild inversions, and experienced yogis can benefit from going back to basics and cultivating a beginner's mind — and having a strong foundation is necessary for the more advanced asanas. As this sequence shows, there's always something new to gain from every pose.

You all know how this works; we are holding the first BMX jam in the new Motion layout on this sacred Sunday. We need you all to come down, get involved and have a fun day riding or just watching and supporting. Hopefully everyone will win some of the great prizes that our sponsors have kindly donated. Don't fret if you don't get lucky with competition prizes because we will have lots of stickers and other freebies to give out during the day
Price to ride for the day along with entering into the competitions - £TBC
We are going to be running practice sessions in the morning, then the Amateur Competition and finishing up with the Professional group.
Ask anyone who has ridden the new layout and they will tell you that it's a super fun design that now incorporates the main skatepark with a street section. Super floaty hips, Spine, Jump Box, Mini Ramp, Step Up and even more to ride (just check out the pictures we uploaded on our main shop facebook page)
Looking forward to seeing the Bristol BMX scene plus further a field coming together to support our local indoor park.

First off let me start this with an apology, this post is over a week late. I said that I was going to drop team rider news last weekend but an unfortunate turn of events meant that I didn't have time to get it done. I know I've let you all down real bad and how will you ever believe me again....but anyway here is the lowdown on our latest addition:
Jordan Godwin or 'golden boy' depending on whom you speak too has been making some rather large waves in the BMX scene this summer. Going from a name that almost no-one outside of South Wales knew to going on two large trips with separate companies, being in a nation-wide DVD, having a big magazine article by the UK's number one BMX magazine and gaining multiple sponsors all within a few months. At only 19 this is a great triumph and it's all extremely well deserved, Jordan's riding clearly speaks for itself.
Now, I get the feeling that a lot of people already thought that Jordan was part of the CrucialBMX Team however this isn't true, he's been a friend of myself and the shop since he first picked up a BMX but nothing was ever official until now.
I remember one of the very first times I met Jordan properly, he came into the shop looking for a full custom setup while being wheeled by his mother with not one but TWO broken ankles. Coming from a MotoX background like myself we got talking and instantly clicked. It was clear from the beginning that, just like on a BMX, he was a boss at racing and gave it 100% effort. It was at this point, even though he couldn't walk, I had a feeling that he would one day be a rider that everyone will know about if he took BMX seriously.
Since this first encounter Jordan stayed in contact and supported the shop as much as he can, as soon as i had any opportunity to give something back and help him get him into the spotlight it was the least I could do.
Jordan tagged along on his first ever BMX trip outside of the UK to Barcelona with myself and partner in crime Emerson Morgan for the DUB Street Series Jam. This trip was the first time we had spent a long period of time together and it only reinforced my decision that I needed to get him on the team. I remember thinking to myself that if another shop hooked him up, I would be extremely gutted.
I can't wait to see how the future plans out but I know for one thing that Jordan Godwins name will be one that you better get used to seeing...
Here is Jordan getting a double peg to hard 180 done on quite possibly the most sketchy rail I can think of:
A year older today and also having the time of his life out in the USA, majorly JEALOUS BRO. Have a fucking sick one you nutter! #CrucialGang
Street slayer Lee Enever lays down a timeless bar spin to fakie on an extra awkward and very uneven bank in Stokes Croft, Bristol. This was used along with Chef who we posted yesterday in Ride UK BMX Basics Magazine.
This was the first ever photograph i've shot using a 3 off camera flash setup.
This was used in our double page advert in BMX Basics along with #CrucialGang Lee Enever!
It's a big one! CrucialBMX rider Del Shepherd turns 18 today, everyone go wish him a good day. From what i saw on snap-chat last night he's got one sore head coming his way....
This video was suppose to drop Sunday evening so i do apologise for it being a day late! Slight technical hitch due to copyrighted music, Vimeo was having none of it however Youtube is playing ball but it cannot be watched on a mobile device. Little bit of a bummer but at least its out there as there is no way i'm re-editing it.
Back in march 2014 we went on a Crucial X Subrosa Trip to Barcelona to get involved in the DUB 'Street Series' JAM that was going on. The trip was amazing; great weather, good spots and a sick crew. It was all of our first time to the incredible city.
We had 6 people on our trip, 3 #CrucialGang Team Riders and 3 local up and coming lads that were keen to tag along for their first out-of-the-UK BMX trip.
Big thanks to Subrosa, Seventies and CrucialBMX for making this trip happen.

f you've ever drank at the Apple Cider Boat in town then there is a good chance you've seen the legend of Will Slater! He was also part of the crew i went with to ride the new Ruben Skatepark at the end of last year in Malaga....He kills it and needed to treat his bike to some TLC and it was in a bit of a sorry state.
We hooked him up with a fresh CULT B-Boy Frame in Matte Black, Fly Agua Forks and Montana Bars in Gloss Black, Profile Race Cranks, Fly sprocket and of course the usual treatment of Headset, bottom bracket and a chain for his new whip.
It came out real well, and i hear it rides amazingly! The Gloss and Matte Black combination looks awesome and is a nice touch without standing out too much.

CTR Program Destroyed 10 Missiles in February
The U.S. Cooperative Threat Reduction program last month eliminated eight single-warhead ICBMs in Russia, Senator Richard Lugar (R-Ind.) announced yesterday (see GSN, Feb. 29).
In addition to eliminating the SS-25 Sickle missiles, which have a range of 6,500 miles and can be fired from mobile launchers, the Nunn-Lugar program destroyed two submarine-launched ballistic missiles and transported five train shipments of nuclear weapons to secure storage areas.
Since being established in 1991 to secure and eliminate weapons of mass destruction in former Soviet states, the CTR program has deactivated 7,260 strategic nuclear warheads and destroyed 682 ICBMs, 625 SLBMs, 496 silos, 119 mobile ICBM launchers, 456 SLBM launchers, 30 ballistic missile-capable submarines, 155 strategic bombers, 906 air-to-surface missiles and 194 nuclear test tunnels.
The initiative has also secured 382 nuclear weapon train shipments, increased security measures at 16 nuclear weapon storage facilities and built 13 biological agent monitoring stations. Efforts under the program have denuclearized Ukraine, Belarus and Kazakhstan, nations that once respectively possessed the world's third, fourth and eighth largest nuclear arsenals.
By sponsoring the International Science and Technology Centers, the Nunn-Lugar program has helped to provide civilian opportunities for 58,000 former weapons researchers. The International Proliferation Prevention Program has involved 14,000 former weapons personnel in 750 projects and established 580 technology-sector positions (U.S. Senator Richard Lugar release, March 12).

text: Free Graffiti Removal Available For Amarillo Residents By James G July 10, 2013 10:07 AM Share on Facebook Share on Twitter The City of Amarillo has been cracking down on graffiti in the city and their efforts are paying off. Almost two years ago the city started the "Take back the wall" campaign. Part of the campaign includes graffiti removal for homes and businesses that request it. The city has removed the illegal artwork from hundreds of buildings. Teams made up of volunteers and city workers remove the graffiti. Texas state law requires the city to remove graffiti at no cost to residents. City officials hope the incentive will encourage people to report the crime, rather than ignore the nuisance.

I don't care for the Fateful Hour mechanic, but Undying doesn't seem bad depending on the size of the creature (or its position on the mana curve). It's like Persist all over again, except the creature will probably start off smaller than it would have with Persist. Can't have Melira shenanigans in Standard. Hex Parasite could see a spike in price because of the mechanic, depending on how deep Wizards goes with it.
Anyways, those are my initial thoughts on the set. Feel free to post your own opinions or criticize mine.

aejo Review
Egyptian Cotton 600 Thread Count Duvet Cover
I purchased this item as I wanted something new and different for my renovated bedroom. It is a beautiful cover and feels really good on my skin. The only setback was after I washed it (using Dreft and no fabric softener-as recommended by many friends and associates) the color faded somewhat and the fabric started to ball alittle bit. Other than that the valve was good and I would recommend it.
- Would you recommend this to a friend? Yes
