Chasing the shark
March 27, 2014 § 9 Comments
The phone rang. "Yeah?" I said.
It was Scooter. "The start times are up. Have you seen yours?"
"Start times? For what?"
"The time trial. You signed up for the San Dimas Stage Race, remember?"
"Oh. Yeah." This was a massive salt-peter in the peter pill.
"And guess what?"
"I've already lost ten minutes on the field?"
"No, dummy. You're the third rider off!"
"That makes sense. They always send the slowest guys first. That way everyone can fly by them 5 miles an hour faster and have a good laugh."
"Not at San Dimas. Your 30-second-man is THOG."
"You're joking, right?"
"Nope. Go see for yourself. And your minute man is Jaeger."
"Jaeger? My teammate who beat me in the 50+ Barnacle Butt category last week by fifteen minutes?"
"So what you're saying is that I have two guys ahead of me who I'll never see, and the whole field behind me who will all pass me like I'm chained to a block of concrete going down a gigantic ocean waterspout."
"Don't be so negative. You've trained hard for this."
"I have?"
"Sure! You're peaking for this race, remember when we talked about it in January? San Dimas was the most important race on your whole calendar! Remember? You had a plan to do specific uphill time trial power workouts. Diet. Meticulous care and attention to your rest and recovery. You were gonna slash through this race like a Brazilian farmer chopping fresh acreage out of the jungle. Remember??"
"Vaguely. I mean, yes. I remember."
"So? You been doing all that, right?"
"All what?"
"The TRAINING, you numbskull! The training!"
"Oh. That. Well, I got a little off course in January, then things didn't work out so well in February because of a beer issue, and in March I had a couple of cases at the office start to heat up. But other than that, yeah, I suppose I'm still on schedule."
"Good. Because Leibert is on fire. And Konsmo is just a few riders behind you; he's flying, and going uphill is what he does. So it'll take everything you've got."
"What if all I've got is, you know, a droopy stomach and not much gas in the tank?"
"Dude! This is your race! Those guys are all beatable. THOG? So what if he's a former Olympian and one of the greatest riders in the history of the sport? So what if you've never beaten any of the other 35 guys in the race ever, at anything? So what if time trialling is what you do worst? Tomorrow is the day you cut loose! Get into the pain cave! Bring the big hammer! Make it hurt so good, baby!"
"I don't know," I said doubtfully. "The last time I did a time trial was about five years ago and even though I did the perfect pre-race donut and chocolate eclair race prep, it didn't turn out so good. And, like, I haven't really practiced since then."
"No problem. Here's what you do."
"Yeah?" Scooter was so enthusiastic, I started to get hopeful.
"Just go out there and hammer! Everything you've got!"
"Hellz. All that crap about going slowly and finding your rhythm … fukk that! Time trial equals balls out. Throw down from the go-down!"
"So I should just pound it from the start?"
"Like it was the last 200 meters on the Champs-Elysees! All out! You'll catch everyone by surprise and go so fast you'll be finished before you actually get tired."
"Wow. I'd never thought of doing it like that before."
"Of course not. You have to innovate to win, and you can do this. Full gas from the first pedal stroke. You'll thank me when you're standing on the podium."
"With great advice like that, I'm thanking you now. I feel better. I've got a game plan. I can do this!"
"Hey, by the way," said Scooter, who is often in financial difficulty. "Could I borrow a hundred bucks? I'll pay you back next week."

Big C, Part Five: The best bath is a spit bath
July 29, 2013 § 4 Comments
How did I get into this? I'm already at Part Five and haven't even finished boring you with the group ride. It's Sunday at 8:40 PM. I spent the entire day at the San Marcos crit getting dragged around the windy, hilly course by sadists. Now I have no idea how I will finish this stupid blog. Oh, I know! Bullets! Or better yet, finish the group ride saga with a numbered list!
- Dropped on the climb up Lake Hodges.
- Flailed with Dandy Andy and Hatchetman.
- Laughed at by Surfer Dan as we hit the sand trail because I veered off the trail a bit.
- Laughed at Surfer Dan a few miles later when he launched off the sand trail and into the bushes.
- Obliterated by Stinger, Lars, Ryan, MMX, Zink, THOG, and everyone on the rock garden trail.
- Obliterated by same up sandy wall Questhaven climb.
- Obliterated by Josh, Alan, Lars et al. on the run-in to Encinitas.
- Swore to never return to North County ever again.
Make it to the church on time
My LAX flight left at 4:30. It was a long way from San Diego County but doable unless the traffic was bad. The weekend traffic in the afternoon from San Diego to LA is always bad.
We got back to Encinitas at 12:30. My bike was covered in dirt and sand and gunk and filth. So was I. There was no time or place to bathe before I had to swap out my kit for jeans and a t-shirt so that I could go straight to boarding when I got to the airport.
I stripped on the sidewalk wrapped in a towel. I grimaced at the thought of how the sand and dirt were going to feel trapped inside my jeans on a 2-hour drive and 6-hour flight.
Then I noticed gushing rivers of sweat pouring off my body. I slipped on my underwear. I took off the towel. I used the streaming rivulets of sweat to wet the towel and scrubbed.
Sweat is a great cleaner. It kept pouring off my skin until the towel was a soaked sweat rag. Pretty soon I'd wiped off all the grime so that I was sparkly clean with a twinkly shiny layer of sparkly sweat. There was a clot of sand between my toes that I couldn't clean with the sweat, so I worked up a good gob of spit and drooled on my foot. Then I toweled the hell out of it.
I suppose the nice families sitting outdoors at the Lofty Bean coffee shop didn't often see a grown man standing on the sidewalk in his underwear spitting on his feet. Perhaps that is why they stared, but I left before the police arrived.
Next issue: Surfer Dan and Wankmeister swear a pact to never eat any junk food ever again, not even if they happen to pass by a 5 Guys burger joint while ravenously hungry after the hardest bike ride of their lives, and they especially swear not to do such a thing if it would make them miss a very important flight that they were already cutting way too close anyway.
Wankmeister cycling clinic #18: UCLA Road Race prep
February 16, 2013 § 8 Comments
Dear Wankmeister:
I'm a Cat 4 doing my first road race and I'm doing UCLA which is on the Punchbowl course and I hear its a pretty hard race but I've been ridding a lot of hills lately in PV and doing a couple of attacks on the NPR so how do you think I'll do and is my preparation enough to at least get on the podium? How does this rode race compare to the Donut Ride?
Frankie Gonzalez
Dear Gonzo:
Your preparation is perfect, but that's because for a first time Cat 4 at UCLA Road Race 2013, any preparation is perfect. Sitting on the couch eating Cheez-its is perfect, because for you the result will be the same: By the end of Mile One you will get coughed out the back like a piece of gooey phlegm, and certainly annihilated no later than the middle of Mile Two. The Punchbowl course is to the Donut Ride as getting your nuts run through a meatgrinder is to flossing your teeth.
Dear Wankmeister:
Deep dish or shallow rims? 54 or 53 teeth (I hear the downhill is blazing fast.) Rear cog–how big?
Acky Accurate
Dear Aaaack:
Deep dish if you want to get caught by the first big side gust of wind on the 50 mph descent and go sailing off into the barbed wire fence and from thence face-first into a pile of steaming cow turds. Run the 54 so you can fly on the downhill, then bog down in the rolling crosswind terrain, get blown out the back because you're overgeared, and retire at the end of the first lap for apres-ski bon-bons and fifteen minutes of cool-down on the trainer. Nothing smaller than a 67 for the rear. There should be less than 1″ clearance between the biggest rear cog and the rails on your saddle.
Dear Wankmeister:
What's the typical tempo of this race? My plan is to sit in for the first three laps and then try to attack on the climb on the last lap and get away. What do you think?
DQ Smedley
Dear DQ:
I think you're an idiot. Unless you consider "sitting in" being shoved into the gutter single file with your tongue wrapped around the spokes and bleeding from the eyes and throwing every ounce of life you've got into staying attached to the hairy dude in front of you who's already gapping out as the leaders turn up the electric skillet to high less than a mile into the race, you're in for the shock of you life. There's no "sitting in" at UCLA unless you've got a lawn chair at the finish line and a cooler of beer. Or hot tea and a bonfire in the event it snows, hails, and then rains, like it did three years ago.
Dose of reality,
Dear Wankmeister:
I'm not a good clumber, but I want to do UCLA RR to help my teammates. Good idea? Bad idea?
Sammy Speculum
Dear Spec:
You want to help your teammates at UCLA but you can't climb? There's a place for dudes like you. It's called the feed zone.
Dear Wankmeister:
How would you rank the following riders (all have pre-registered) for the UCLA RR?
- Jeff K.
- Tri-Dork
- John H.
- Mongo from Bako
- Kong
- Bennydril
Jimmy (the Greek)
Dear Jimmy:
- THOG: He will either win or get first.
- G$: He will either get second or be the runner-up.
- Jeff K.: Best man at the wedding. Again.
- Tri-Dork: He's lost 49 pounds just by giving up butter (that he used to put in his beer). He got dropped twelve times at Boulevard and TIME TRIALED BACK ON EVERY TIME. Be afraid. Be very, very afraid.
- John H.: He is too nice, but he will still crush 95% of the field.
- Mongo from Bako: Mongo and I have been practicing synchronized 'cross bike dancing. We will be the prettiest duo in the field (with matching 'cross frames and cantilever brakes). See our video here.
- Kong: He will pound. Then flail. Then pound some more. Then flail. Then collect his prize for Largest Dude Who Belongs In A Crit And Ain't Afraid Of No Damned Hilly Road Race.
- Bennydril: No team to help, except for Kong, who'll be in a different orbit. He'll be isolated and beaten by superior numbers.
Dear Wankmeister:
How come Charon don't do hilly road races?
Bak Stabber
Dear Bak:
I don't know. How come Kobe doesn't play offensive tackle?

Boulevard road race and tragedy, Part 2
February 5, 2013 § 15 Comments
At the starting line we very old fellows staged behind the somewhat old fellows in the 35+ race. Stefanovich was there, and looked back at me.
"I made it!" he grinned.
"Sorry about that," I replied.
"No, dude, I was inspired by your blog. This is gonna be awesome!"
Dandy Andy, whose four-foot handlebar mustache drooped down to his knees, nodded vigorously. "Yeah! We read it on the way down. Inspired!"
"Oh," I said glumly. "Then you missed the point."
"I did?" asked Stefanovich.
"Yes, it was supposed to be a demotivational piece, something to despire you from coming, not inspire you to show up."
Stefanovich laughed. "Yeah, well we're here now! So braaang it!"
The whistle sounded and off they went.
He's got your whole world (in his hands)
When it came our turn, my only concern was whether I'd get dropped on the 10-mile twisting, tailwind descent. The ref sent us off with a warning. "Okay, guys, watch out for the turns on the descent. We've already lost seven or eight riders in high speed collisions, so I'm asking you to take it easy the first lap. After that you can do whatever you want."
I wondered why our lives were precious on lap one, but worthless on laps two and three, until I realized the ref's unspoken subtext: "Most of you wankers won't be around for the second lap, so it will be safe to go full throttle."
After cresting the first brief, gentle 2-mile climb, we hit the downhill. My 50 x 11 immediately spun out, but I was prepared for the acceleration and sprunted onto the end of the whip, letting the slipstream suck me along.
The down side to being on the end was simple: There were about fifteen wankers ahead of me who were scared shitless, and with good reason, as they were clueless about how to handle their bikes at 50 mph in a tight formation on a twisty road. I had a flashback to the year before, when Tree Perkins had lost control, crossed the center line, and leaped up into a fence, then a shrub, then climbed a tree with his bike.
The feeling of helplessness was complete. My life was wholly dependent on the flubs and flails of some Cat 4 wanker who had just turned 45 and decided to ride with the "safe" dudes rather than the suicidal Cat 4 field, not realizing that it was these very aged Cat 4 wankers who made our normally conservative old fellows' category so deadly on a course like this.
As if on cue, Tri-Dork dropped back to a couple of wheels in front of me. Tri-Dork was the one wheel I wanted to avoid beyond all others, but like a moth drawn to a flame, could not. Tri-Dork's bad bike handling skills, which had caused him to flub and crash on a dry road one morning with only one other rider and shatter his shoulder, were accentuated times a thousand by the speed and the turns.
Swooping through each curve, Tri-Dork wobbled, braked, gapped, accelerated, and slashed his way through the formation with terrifying abandon. Charging up through the field at just the moment he should have been slowing down, Tri-Dork got bumped and did the only thing you'd expect a recovering triathlete to do in a bike race: He panicked and shot for the center line.
If a car had been coming in the other direction this story would be an obituary extolling his bravery, instead, he regained control and charged back into the field. "Tri-Dork!" I shouted. "Get the fuck away from everyone! And stay out of the trees!"
The race in earnest
Today's elderly fellow beatdown and prostate abuse ride would be dominated by Big Orange and Amgen. We turned off the downhill and began the climb up Las Posas, with Mike Hotten of Big Orange setting tempo on the front. His steady pace was the first phase of the Big O "softening up."
A huge rivalry had shaped up between Big O and Amgen. Steve Klasna, who had ridden for Big O the year before and is one of the best racers in SoCal, now rode for Amgen and was looking for his first victory of the year. Thurlow Rogers a/k/a Turbo a/k/a The Hand of God a/k/a THOG had won Boulevard the year before, and as one of the the greatest American cyclists in history, as usual he had come to win. Backed by national champion and locomotive Malcolm Hill, Amgen was closely matched against Big O.
The race day favorite was Greg Leibert, whose teammate Jeff Konsmo could be expected to play his usual role of policeman/late attacker. New to the 45+ fold was John Hall, easily one of the top climbers in the South Bay and a guy who always kept a strong finishing kick for hilltop finishes. Former Boulevard vainquer Todd Darley would also play a key team role, with Tri-Dork flying the wild card colors in his 45+ debut. One of the biggest men to line up for Boulevard, Tri-Dork had proven the year before at the UCLA Punchbowl course that size was no limiter, as he'd ridden with the leaders for most of that hilly, attacking course.
Jessup Auto Plaza brought the heat with the Man Who Fears No Hill, Andy Jessup, easily the biggest dude in the field and also the gutsiest. Not content to do the flat crits, he was always pushing the pace in the races least suited for his build, uncowed by altitude or by the toothpick physiques of the likely podium contenders. Benny Parks, who had won for Jessup at P[e]CK[e]RR the week before, would be in the mix, and Jessup's Brien Miller would play a key role in my own personal Boulevard saga.
Supermotor Jon Flagg, riding mateless for Surf City, tough guy Greg Fenton, and national champ Doug Pomerantz for UCC would round out the movers and shakers in the race. My own SPY-Giant-RIDE Cyclery team started with a solid contingent that included Alan Flores, John Hatchitt, Jon Geyer, and Andy Schmidt. As Alan would later remark after posting his best-ever Boulevard finish for 6th place, "We were just passengers today. It was a handful of other guys driving the bus."
Lap One Climb: Devil take the hindmost
Klasna, Leibert, Konsmo, and THOG sprinted around the kicker that ended Las Posas and began the 4-mile climb up to the finish on Old Highway 80. The pace went from cool to warm to hot to full-fryalator. Midway up the climb the field had been reduced from about 70 to no more than 40 riders. Thankfully I'd started at the front, and as Konsmo and Co. turned up the screws and my legs seized up there were plenty of spaces to fall back without getting dropped completely.
The survivors were now in one nasty line, and as Leibert and THOG looked back to assess the damage, it occurred to them that, with the remainder of the field bleeding from the eye sockets, now would be a good time to ride in earnest. Their two-man attack left the rest of the field gasping and huddling for a rear wheel.
With about a mile to go the pack bunched up and I realized that today would be the first time in four attempts that I'd ever finished Boulevard with the lead group on the first lap. It was more than euphoria. It was victory, and it tasted sweet.
As we piled into the start/finish, however, the leaders ratcheted up the pace and blew out a handful of riders on the steep finish line pitch. My victory evaporated as I realized that my race was about to end at one lap. Fortunately, we crested the finishing hill with Amgen's Robb Mesecher coming by, and by latching onto his wheel and double-wide draft was able to maintain contact with the group, which was now strung out in a mad chase to bring back G$ and THOG.
Once we hit the descent, the group had thinned considerably, but Tri-Dork was still very much there. G$ and THOG had returned to the fold, and Hotten again rode tempo on the green tennis court vomity stretch of Las Posas. We pushed up onto Old Highway 80, rolled slowly for a hundred yards or so, then exploded as Konsmo, G$, and THOG blew apart the group.
A few seconds before I popped we overtook Aaron Wimberley, a sprinter in the 35+ race and one of the few fast men with guts enough to take on a hilly killer like Boulevard, rather than hiding and waiting for the speedfest at the short, flat, fast crit the following day. "Go, Wanky!" he yelled as we flew by. I "went," all right…straight off the back.
As I cratered, Brien Miller yelled at me. "Come on, wanker! Dig!"
"I'm digging!" I gasped. "My grave!"
My race had ended midway up the climb on the second lap as I watched the leaders ride off, then came detached from the chase group. I soft pedaled to catch my breath, well aware that the next lap and a half would be done alone, into the wind, slowly, with nothing left in the tank.
As I recounted to myself all the grand successes of the day (finished one lap with the leaders, got halfway up the second lap with the leaders, almost sort of kind of practically didn't get dropped, etc.), I heard an awful noise behind me. It sounded like a large animal in its death throes, or like a giant engine with a major internal part broken and rattling loose, or like a one-eyed monster from the Black Lagoon coming up from behind to eat you.
I didn't dare look back, and it's a good thing I didn't, because when the shadow of Malcolm Hill came by, it took everything I had to latch on. Powerful arms flexing, mighty legs pounding, bellows-sized lungs blowing like a racehorse, Malcolm had the chase group in his sights and he wasn't slowing down.
Soon we'd overtaken Brien. "Dig!" I shouted as we went by.
He grinned and hopped on. Malcolm flicked me through with his elbow after a solid half-mile haul, but all I could do was fizzle and fade for a few strokes before Brien came through with a powerful surge. Between Malcolm and Brien, with me sitting on the back taking notes and adjusting my socks, we closed the gap to the chase group to within a hundred yards.
Suddenly my inner wanker blossomed, and the possibility of catching on spurred me to actually take a pull. I leaped forward, temporarily dropping the two mates who had done all of the work, latching onto the back of the chasers. Malcolm and Brien joined, and a quick glance proved that this was indeed the chase group to be in.
Get that Flagg, Darling, and put Pomegranate on it
Jon Flagg, Todd Darley, and Doug Pomerantz comprised the chasers, along with a couple of other horses, and the leaders were briefly in sight, though they vanished after the turn onto the descent. Whittled down to about ten expert riders and one Wankstar, these elderly fellows conducted a downhill clinic on the backside of the course.
I've never felt safer at 50 mph on a bike as Malcolm & Co. drilled us through the tight turns at max speed, max lean, and never so much as a waver or a wobble. With a few miles to go before the turn onto Vomit Road, Darley leaped off the front. The final effort to bring him back, just before the turn, revealed the incredible once we'd crossed the tracks: The leaders were right there.
As we steamrolled up to the leaders I spied a poor sod in a Swami's kit flailing in the gravel off the road to let us by. He wasn't pedaling squares, he was pedaling triangles. He had that Wankmeister look of dropdom that comes from having ridden alone, fried, cold, into the wind, by yourself, for most of the race. He was haggard and beaten and defeated and covered with the frozen crust of snot and spit and broken dreams.
It was Stefanovich.
"Come on, you fucking wanker!" I yelled as we roared by. "Get out of the fucking dirt and race your dogdamned bike!"
He looked up and smiled through the crusty snot.
A few hard turns and we'd reconnected. Todd paid for his efforts by slipping off the back, and Tri-Dork, who'd made an amazing reattachment, was likewise surgically removed. More incredibly, G$ and THOG were still there.
My one lap victory had now become the ride of my life: I was finishing the third lap at the head of the field, and in my excitement I surged to the front as we crested the first rise on Las Posas. G$ looked over and grinned. "Wanker! Hit it, buddy!"
I swelled up like a big old balloon, pounded hard for three strokes, then blew and got dropped. As my race ended yet again, I passed a Jessup wanker from the 35+ race. "Get your ass up there, you quitter!" he yelled.
Spurred by shame I dug and caught onto Malcolm's wheel just as we flew over the cattle guard.
A few pedal strokes later I was rested and taking stock. There were fifteen riders left. Just then, G$ glanced over to the side and attacked. It was a thing of beauty. With fourteen riders keyed on this one guy, and with him already having ridden a 15-mile breakaway, he kicked it hard. No one could follow as he dangled just off the point. It was that moment in the race where everyone tried to rationalize the reason they weren't chasing, while refusing to admit they were too tired and afraid and broken and chickenish and weak.
G$ dangled for a mile, getting slightly farther away as Konsmo and Hall kept the pace brisk enough to discourage any followers.
Except one.
With the animal fury that's his trademark, THOG ripped away from the peloton. "There," we all thought, "goes the race. If I chase I'm doomed. I think I'll just sit in and hope for third."
By the time we hit the big climb for the final time, cat and mouse had begun. Only problem was, the cat and the mouse were up the road and out of sight. So it was more like roaches and Raid. Flagg attacked repeatedly but no one was letting him go anywhere. After the third surge, Konsmo rolled. The gap opened, and then he vanished.
"Well," we all thought, "fourth is pretty respectable to brag to the GF about. I'll fight for fourth."
As we approached the start/finish, the hard attacks came for real. With a few hundred yards to go I had to choose between getting dropped and getting dropped, so I wisely chose to get dropped. "Fifteenth," I told myself "is damned respectable in this race. And even if it isn't, I'll claim it is."
G$ outlasted THOG for the win. I crept across the line significantly behind #14.
Big Orange took first,third, and fifth. Amgen walked away with second, ninth, and tenth.
But if you ask me, it was 325-lb. wobblywheels Tri-Dork, finishing 25th in his very first Boulevard outing who went home with the best ride of all.
Tune in tomorrow for Part 3, "Post-race analysis of why you're a fucking wanker for not showing up"

Fine (bar) dining recommendations?
- MB fka MB Feb 23, 2009 09:44 AM
My BFF is coming to visit this weekend. We were talking about a bottle of champagne and a light bite somewhere. Would do a lunch, too, but we really enjoy dining at the bar.
Is there a bar at Le Bernardin? What about Jean Georges?
Other recommendations?
re: kathryn
There is a bar at Le Bernardin and you can order from the full dinner menu. You can order from the formal dining room menu at the bar at Jean Georges if you ask nicely.
My favorite bar dining is L'Atelier. Really wonderful food. Small plates so you can eat as little or as much as you'd like. I also like small plates so you can try more things. And it's an open kitchen. So the bar is the perfect place to view them make your meal.
re: trixareforkids
IIRC you can order from the regular menu at the bar at EMP during lunch, but not dinner.
re: kathryn
I used to work in the building and EMP seemed rather subdued. I was hoping for something a bit more lively?
re: MB fka MB
I wouldn't call Le-Bernardin lively but its the best meal I've had. Don't know about dining at the bar but it looked nice. I LOVED EMP bar! Nice setting, great food, and cool bartenders.
re: cgervais45
Well thanks for the input. I've not been to either (yet!)
Second L'Atelier, caveat being that I've been to the one in Paris but not in nyc. Very interested in sethd's comment that you can order from the Jean Georges formal dining room menu at the nougatine bar, if you ask nicely. Will have to try that sometime. Should note that while that would certainly be preferable, nougatine at its best can be quite good, I had a slow cooked salmon in rhubarb sauce there in the summer that was memorable, absolutely excellent.
re: brettnyc
I have an advantage at Jean Georges since I have eaten there on average of 3 times a week for the last 8 years. Having said that, I have noticed over the years that if guests ask to see and then t ask to order from the main dining room menu those desires are usually met gladly.
Although, I have enjoyed eating at the bar at L'atelier, I have always had a tough time justifying the cost of the meal. It is very expensive for a "bar meal". As mentioned, it is possible to eat at the bar at Le Bernardin: the service is exceptional at the bar as well.
My favorite is Gramercy Tavern.Very good food,great cocktails,crowded bar.Also Gotham Bar & Grill,Union Square Cafe(haven't been there in awhile but assume it's still a good spot).Telepan on the Upper West Side has a nice bar but not sure how lively it is.The bar/lounge at the Modern draws a very good crowd and last but definitely not least Daniel which has a beautiful bar/lounge.Not sure if the dining room menu is available though.
re: foodnwine
The Bar Room menu at the Modern as well as the menu at the lounge at Daniel is different from the menus of the main dining room at both restaurants.
Thanks for all of the recommendations!
It looks like we're going to aim for the bar at Le Bernardin on Friday night (a bit early). What are our chances of getting a couple of spots? Do you have any favorite dishes on the current menu?
We might try to do drinks at the Modern early Saturday evening. Although I've become quite a regular at No. 7 and it might be better for Saturday, being more of a neighborhood place.

Move over, Sue Sylvester -- Mr. Schuester has a new nemesis, and it's Jonah Hill! On Wednesday's Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, the Moneyball star called out Glee actor Matthew Morrison for being a big jerk to him at two different industry events. Watch the hilarious clip below -- but first, some background.
In the first part of the interview (available here), Hill talks about his awkward experience at the FOX upfronts (the annual event at which networks present their fall season to potential advertisers). Hill was there to promote his new animated series Allen Gregory -- but in a room full of established TV stars, he found himself standing around like "the new kid at FOX High School." He tried to approach American Idol judge Randy Jackson, only to get dissed for Bones actor Michael Clarke Duncan. Then he saw his high school pal Zooey Deschanel, star of New Girl, across the room. While they were chatting, a woman started giving instructions to the gathered stars. Hill stopped to listen, but says Deschanel was still talking.
"Zooey starts talking to me, and the woman (giving instructions) goes, 'Jonah, please be quiet while I'm talking,'" recalls Hill.
"And do you guys know this guy Matthew Morrison? He's on Glee?" Hill asks the audience. "This guy piggybacks on this woman calling me out -- I've never met this guy in my entire life -- he goes, 'Yeah Jonah, can't you stop talking for one second?' And everyone laughs. Everyone laughed at me! I wasn't even talking to anybody!"
"So I'm all shaken up about this," he continues. "And so I've already got it in my head that I don't like this guy; I'm sure he's a good human being, but you don't throw a dude under the bus that you've never even met before. He's a bully."
But it gets worse! Watch the clip below to see the end of the story.
So here's the conclusion: a couple weeks later, Hill was at "some douchey Hollywood party," when he spied Morrison talking to Gossip Girl actor Chace Crawford. He approached to try and eavesdrop on the conversation and ended up hearing the tail end of an anecdote -- "something something Jonah Hill!" -- and Morrison and Crawford burst out laughing.
"He doesn't even know I'm at this party and I'm the punchline of his joke?" Hill says incredulously. "Yo, Matthew Morrison, you better bring your s*** next time I see you! I'm calling you out on Jimmy Fallon!"
After challenging Morrison WWE-style, Hill jokes to Jimmy Fallon, "I'd love to see him sing his way out of this one!"
We must say, as celebrity feuds go, this one is pretty entertaining. The only question is: How will they settle it? Hill would be sure to lose a sing-off or a dance-off, so we'd suggest he challenge Morrison to a freestyle competition -- he's got to be able to rap better than Will Schuester, right?

Lord Krishna in Vishwaroop
This image depicts one of the incident from Mahabharata war. In Mahabharata war Arjun-the Pandava moved back after arving in the battlefield and seeing that the enemies are his family only. He said that his heart does not allow him to fight and prefer to renouce the Kingdom.
To make Arjuna undestand and to show him correct path Lord Krishna assumes his Vishwaroop form or Viraat Roop form. The conversation between them soon extended into a discourse which later compiled as the Bhagavad Gita.

Isaacs, J. A. and Tanwani, A. and Healy, M. L. and Dahlben, L. J. (2010) Economic assessment of single-walled carbon nanotube processes. Journal of Nanoparticle Research, 12 (2). pp. 551-562.
The carbon nanotube market is steadily growing and projected to reach 1.9 billion by 2010. This study examines the economics of manufacturing single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT) using process-based cost models developed for arc, CVD, and HiPco processes. Using assumed input parameters, manufacturing costs are calculated for 1Â g SWNT for arc, CVD, and HiPco, totaling 1,906, 1,706, and 485, respectively. For each SWNT process, the synthesis and filtration steps showed the highest costs, with direct labor as a primary cost driver. Reductions in production costs are calculated for increased working hours per day and for increased synthesis reaction yield (SRY) in each process. The process-based cost models offer a means for exploring opportunities for cost reductions, and provide a structured system for comparisons among alternative SWNT manufacturing processes. Further, the models can be used to comprehensively evaluate additional scenarios on the economics of environmental, health, and safety best manufacturing practices.

Loomis Sayles, the U.S. fund manager that oversees funds worth $150 billion, said this week that it has been aggressively buying Irish government debt for what its vice chairman Dan Fuss calls its attractive yield and credit quality.
"We have a completely different view of Irish debt than the rest of the world," Fuss told the press this week. "The bonds have been and continue to be cheap. Their yield is attractive relative to the view expressed in the market on Ireland's credit quality."
Fuss said the U.S. firm was a buyer in the secondary market and it took part in Ireland's 1.5 billion euro debt auction, which means it now holds that much in Irish government debt.
In a move that made headlines last week, Fitch Ratings downgraded Ireland's credit rating to A-plus from AA-minus and put it on a negative outlook, indicating that the deeper than anticipated cost of cleaning up the banks and uncertainty over the economy were strong factors.
Broadly negatives headlines after Moody's suggestion that it might downgrade Ireland drove up borrowing costs, putting even more pressure on the government who are stuck with a debt pile that looks set to hit 155 billion this year.

Sarah Palin to Write Christmas Bookby Free Britney at . Comments
Sarah Palin is coming out with a new book, just in time for the holidays.
A Happy Holiday IS a Merry Christmas will be published in November.
It's about "reserving Jesus Christ in Christmas" and will "illustrate the reasons why the celebration of Jesus Christ's nativity is the centerpiece of [Palin's] faith."
"This will be a fun, festive, thought-provoking book," Palin promises.
The former Alaska Governor and V.P. candidate said in a statement:
"Amidst the fragility of this politically correct era, it is imperative that we stand up for our beliefs before the element of faith in a glorious and traditional holiday like Christmas is marginalized."
"This will encourage all to see what is possible when we unite in defense of our faith and ignore the politically correct Scrooges who would rather take Christ out of Christmas."
Palin quit Fox News in January, citing a need to find a broader audience.
Will she find it with her holiday tome? Only time will tell.
... "A Happy Holiday IS a Merry Christmas," scheduled for November. HarperCollins announced Monday that the book will criticize the "over-commercialism" and "homogenization" of Christmas ... To be released in November ... just in time to make an excellent stocking stuffer for Xmas ... for people who don't believe in the use of purchased gifts and the commercialization of this Christian holiday.
Which begs the question -- will Sarah be donating all profits to food banks and homeless shelters, or will the proceeds be added to the coffers of SarahPAC (read - the Sarah Palin self-indulgent, self-promotion tour fund)? By the way, how does Palin's message of "reducing the commercialization of Xmas" jive with her continual promotion of "free market capitalism"? Won't the toy, jewelry, and tech gadget industries be upset with her raining on their holiday season sales parade? In any case, I'm looking forward to Palin's next book: "Going Gas Range -- 101 Moose Meals, from Tundra to Table."
Unlike her previous (ghost-written) efforts, this one will be non-fiction.
jesus was driving a Pontiac GTO in this fairy tale!!
Haha! Well, I don't think Christmas will go anywhere anytime soon - but does this lady know the church just stole the Midwinter Sacrifice (midvinterblot, jul), because all the heathens were partying then anyway, and claimed Jesus was born at that time although he wasn't? In my country Christmas is still called Jul (Yule), we say God (Good) Jul! to each other and we eat the same things the Vikings ate, sausages and ham and so on. Yes, the Christians nicked the holiday and succeeded 99% - but not 100%! Looking forward to seeing Palin have Jesus'es parents ride to Betlehem on a dinosaur... ;)

Beautiful beaches, cute boys, sunshine 24/7…isn't that what California is all about? Palm trees everywhere you go, surf and sand. California is a dream, right? So the first question I get from everyone when they find out that I am from the Golden State is why on Earth would you ever leave California, one of the most awesome places ever, to come live in Westminster, Maryland and go to a college of which no one has heard (at least not on the west coast)? My answer is simple. McDaniel is home. It is everything I want in a college.
Two simple factors went into my decision for college: size and personality. I knew that I did not want to be a face in a crowd. I had gone to small schools all my life. My high school's graduating class had 89 people in it. Having come from this type of environment, I knew what it was like to have personal relationships with all of my teachers. Some of them were and are still the best friends and mentors I have ever had. Thus, when choosing a college, I knew small was my best bet. McDaniel is the perfect size for me. I know all of my professors and the names of the other students in my classes. I have had so many opportunities because I have relationships with faculty members who have seen qualities in me that led them to suggest competitions, scholarships, and other fabulous opportunities that catered to my personal strengths. If I had gone to a large university, I may not have known these things or had the ability to really get to know my professors like I do. I think McDaniel is wonderful because you really do get the individualized attention that will allow you to succeed inside and outside the classroom.
At first, I wasn't going to visit any of the colleges that I applied to as they were all so far away from California. Fortunately, I did, and it made all the difference. When I visited McDaniel, I felt at home on campus. Being on the Hill is beautiful. I visited on a warm spring day, but I have since then learned to appreciate the snow as well. FALL IS AMAZING! Who knew that nature had all of those colors just waiting to show themselves? Anyway, it was not the campus that sold me, but the beauty of the people on campus. I met with another girl from California who told me that I was not going die of frostbite like I thought which of course was a plus. However, the most important experience I had was sitting in on a Spanish class. I loved it! The teacher was fine with me participating in the class, and the people in the class were very welcoming! After class, one of the guys saw me again, and we had a great conversation. I also had a fantastic tour with another perspective student and his father as well. The best part was the fact that these moments were not just from people trying to impress me with their school. People at McDaniel really do care! That is what amazes me so much. All of those people I met on one random day are now my friends or acquaintances. These people were not faking being nice, but they really are just great people: McDaniel is full of wonderful people. To me, the people are more important than anything because they are the ones who support you through your college experience.
That is why I came all the way from the magical land of Cali to the beautiful oasis of McDaniel College. While they do not have In-N-Out Burgers or See's Candy, McDaniel has something so much more: a wonderful college experience. I am about to start my second half of my sophomore year as a Spanish major and education minor. There are no regrets in my choice of McDaniel as my home away from home.

The Truth Hurts Tuesday ~ Don't Go Breaking Our Hearts or Busting Our Balls
This post is tough because I TOTALLY get it. I really do. I get it because I deal with it EVERY.FUCKING.DAY. And, I'm telling you that I get it before I even explain what the hell "it" is JUST to cover my ass... So, here it goes. Bridey, shit is going to change. Your wedding plans are going to change. Your guest list will go up and down eighteen fucking times based on family dynamics or lack of guest list control (usually because of your mom BTW...). Your flowers will change a bazillion times based on personal preference, availability and design. Your wedding dress will be taken in and out or scraped completely, but the most irritating, never ending change that for some reason is expected to be "no big deal"? Guess... Duh, look up!
The menu. Bridey, there comes a point when it is up to you to get your shit together, and simply be done with your menu. The most annoying thing in the whole wide world is a bride who continually changes her menu all the way down to the week before her wedding. Be it the passed hors d'oeuvres, stations during the cocktail hour or even the damn salad before entree, it's coo coo. Many chefs, venues and caterers will try to accommodate (particularly if your numbers go UP), but there comes a time when it's just not okay to keep changing your fucking mind. When you're a week away from your wedding, all anybody in "the industry" cares about is the number of guests and how many of each...
So you saw "something really cool" at an event you were at last week. Forget about it. Somebody suggested "that you ought to do blah, blah, blah..." FORGET ABOUT IT! Seriously, don't go busting balls at the venue or with your caterer because now that stupid Philly cheese steak egg roll is "a must".

NaK, or sodium-potassium alloy, an alloy of potassium (K) and sodium (Na), is usually liquid at room temperature.[1] Various commercial grades are available. NaK is highly reactive with water and may catch fire when exposed to air, so must be handled with special precautions.
Physical properties[edit]
NaK containing 40% to 90% potassium by weight is liquid at room temperature. The eutectic mixture consists of 77% potassium and 23% sodium, is liquid from −12.6 to 785 °C, and has a density of 866 kg/m3 at 21 °C and 855 kg/m3 at 100 °C, making it less dense than water.[1] It is highly reactive with water and is stored usually under hexane or other hydrocarbons, or under an inert gas (usually dry nitrogen or argon[2]) if high purity and low levels of oxidation are required.
When stored in air, it forms a yellow potassium superoxide coating and may ignite. This superoxide reacts explosively with organics. NaK is not dense enough to sink in most hydrocarbons, but will sink in lighter mineral oil. It is unsafe to store in this manner if the superoxide has formed. A large explosion took place at the Oak Ridge Y-12 facility on December 8, 1999, when NaK cleaned up after an accidental spill and inappropriately treated with mineral oil was scratched with a metal tool.[3] The liquid alloy also attacks PTFE ("Teflon").[citation needed]
NaK has a very high surface tension, which makes large amounts of it pull into a bun-like shape. Its specific heat capacity is 982 J/(kg.K), which is roughly one-fourth of that for water, but heat transfer is higher over a temperature gradient due to higher thermal conductivity.[4]
NaK has been used as the coolant in experimental fast neutron nuclear reactors. Unlike commercial plants, these are frequently shut down and defuelled. Use of lead or pure sodium, the other materials used in practical reactors, would require continual heating to maintain the coolant as a liquid. Use of NaK overcomes this.
The Soviet RORSAT radar satellites were powered by a NaK-cooled reactor.[6][7] As well as the wide liquid temperature range, NaK has a very low vapor pressure, which is important in the vacuum of space.
The Danamics LMX Superleggera CPU cooler uses NaK to transport heat from the CPU to its cooling fins.[8]
Both sodium and potassium are used as desiccants in drying solvents prior to distillation.
Synthesis and production[edit]
Industrially, NaK is produced in a reactive distillation.[9] In this continuous process, a distillation column is fed with potassium chloride and sodium. In the reaction zone, potassium chloride reacts with sodium to form sodium chloride and potassium. The lighter, boiling potassium is enriched in an upper fractionating zone and drawn at the column head while molten sodium chloride is withdrawn from the bottom.

Sabbati, 3 die Maii; 2° Gulielmi et Mariæ.
Cinque Ports Elections.
Southwarke Court of Conscience.
Thetford Election.
Importing Thrown Silk.
Leave for Members to attend Lords.
Commissioners of Accounts.
THE House took into Consideration the Amendments made by the Lords to the Bill, intituled, An
Act for declaring the Right of Election of Members to
serve in Parliament for the Cinque Ports.
And the same, being twice read, were agreed unto by
the House; and are as followeth;
1 Press, Line 14, after "Enacted," insert "by the
King and Queen's Most Excellent Majesties."
Ordered, That Mr. Brewer do carry the Bill to the
Lords; and acquaint them, That this House hath agreed
to the said Amendments.
Mr. Bowyer reports from the Committee to whom the
Bill for erecting a Court of Conscience for the Borough
of Southwarke, and other Parishes within the Weekly Bills
of Mortality, in the County of Surrey, was committed,
That they had agreed to the Bill, with several Amendments: Which he read in his Place, with the Coherence;
and afterwards delivered the same in at the Clerk's Table:
Where they were once read throughout; and afterwards
a Second time, one by one; and upon the Question
severally put thereupon, agreed unto by the House.
And Blanks being left in the Bill, for the Name of the
Clerk, or Register and Beadle of the Court, to be inserted, to be filled up by the House;
A Petition of Thomas Prittyman, and others, was read;
setting forth, That they had been at great Expence, by
Endeavours to get an Act to pass for erecting a Court of
Conscience in the Borough of Southwarke, and other Out
Parishes in Middlesex, within the Weekly Bills of Mortality; and had prepared another Bill to offer to this House
for that Purpose: But that, by Order of the House, a
separate Bill was to be brought in for the said Borough
alone; which is accordingly done, and ready to be reported from the Committee to whom the same was committed to this House: And praying, That the Petitioners,
in Recompence of such their Expence and Trouble, they,
or some of them, may have their Names inserted as
Registers and Clerks, or Beadles in the said Courts.
Ordered, That the Petitioners have a proportionable
Satisfaction from the Borough of Southwarke, for all
Monies they have paid or laid out in relation to any former
Bills for erecting a Court of Conscience for the said
Borough, with any other Places: And that it be referred
to Mr. John Gray to settle and ascertain the same.
Resolved, That the Blank for the Clerk or Register be
filled up with the Name of "Robert Weston."
Resolved, That the Blank for the Beadle be filled up
with the Name, "Gyles Haywood."
Then the Question being put, That the Bill with the
Amendments be ingrossed;
The House divided.
The Yeas go forth.
So it passed in the Negative.
Mr. Gray reports from the Committee of Privileges
and Elections, to whom the Matter touching the Double
Return and Election of Burgesses to serve in this present
Parliament for the Borough of Thetford in the Counties
of Norfolke and Suffolke, was referred, the Case, as it
appeared to the Committee: Which he produced in
Writing; and delivered in at the Clerk's Table: Where
the same was read; and is as followeth; viz.
That, upon the hearing the Merits of the Double Return and Election of Burgesses for the Borough of Thetford, it appeared to the Committee, That William Harbord, Esquire, and Sir Fra. Guybon, Knight, were returned
by Edmund Rossall, Mayor, under the old Charter of
16° Queen Eliz.: And that Sir Joseph Williamson, and
Adam Felton, Esquire, were returned by John Tyrrell,
Mayor, under the new Charter: And that the Merits of
the Election depended upon the determining which was
the right Mayor.
That it was agreed the Right of Election was in the
Mayor, Ten Capital Burgesses, and Twenty Commoncouncilmen.
That for Sir Jos. Williamson, and Mr. Felton, the Counsel
insisted, That the Charter of 16 Queen Elizabeth, granted
to the Borough of Thetford, and all other Charters and
Immunities of the said Borough, were surrendered: And
produced a Copy of the Surrender, dated 30th January,
34 Car. IIdi, and the new Charter, 34 Car. IIdi.
That, for Mr. Harbord, and Sir Francis Guybon, the
Council insisted, That the Charter of 16 Eliz: was not
duly surrendered, nor agreed to by the Majority of the
Corporation: And called Witnesses: Who proved, That
one Warmly Hetherset was elected Mayor: But John
Wendham, the Mayor then in being, refused to swear him:
Upon which several Mandamuses issued out of the King's
Bench, for the Swearing of the said Hetherset: But afterwards the said Mendham, upon this Occasion, by disfranchising Three old Members, and admitting Two new
ones (whereof his Son, a young Man about Seventeen
or Eighteen Years of Age; and one Hobbs, who had not
used to come to Church, and, upon this Occasion, received the Sacrament in a profligate Manner, by spitting
the Bread out of his Mouth), procured a bare Majority
for surrendering the Charter.
As to the electing a Mayor for Thetford, the Manner
is thus:
The Common Council propose Two of the Capital Burgesses to the Inhabitants, out of which they elect the
Mayor; and, in case of the Death or Removal of the
Mayor, the Persons that have the Right of electing have
a Power, within Eight Days after, to choose another; who
is to be sworn before the Recorder, or his Deputy, and
other Capital Burgesses, or the major Part of them.
In the present case, one Harper, who was chosen
Mayor, dying soon after he was elected; and there being
but Two Capital Burgesses by the old Charter then alive;
the Common Council proposed to the Inhabitants the
said Rossall, who chose him Mayor; and the Deputy
Recorder refusing to swear him, the said Rossall was
sworn by one Fokes, an Attorney, in the Presence of the
Members of the old Corporation.
That thereupon the Committee came to several Resolutions: Which the said Mr. Gray read in his Place; and
afterwards, delivered the same in at the Clerk's Table:
Where the same were read; and are as followeth; viz.
Resolved, That it is the Opinion of this Committee,
That the Charter of 16 Queen Eliz. granted to the
Borough of Thetford, is not duly nor legally surrendered.
Resolved, That it is the Opinion of this Committee,
That Wm. Harbord, Esquire, and Sir Francis Guybon,
Knight, are duly returned and elected Burgesses to serve
in this present Parliament for the said Borough of Thetford.
The First of the said Resolution being read a Second
Resolved, That the House doth agree with the Committee, That the Charter of 16 Queen Elizabeth, granted
to the Borough of Thetford, is not duly nor legally surrendered.
The Second of the said Resolutions being read a Second
Resolved, That the House doth agree with the Committee, That Wm. Harbord, Esquire, and Sir Francis
Guybon, Knight, are duly returned and elected Burgesses
to serve in this present Parliament for the said Borough
of Thetford.
Ordered, That the Clerk of the Crown do attend upon
Monday Morning next, to amend the Return of the said
Then the Order, for the House to resolve into a Committee of the whole House, to consider of the Bill for the
discouraging the Importation of Thrown-silk, was read.
A Petition of several Merchants trading to Italy, was
read; setting forth, That the Petitioners, long before this
Sessions of Parliament, had given Orders to their Correspondents in Italy for several Quantities of Thrown-silk,
whereof Part is far advanced on the Way by Land Carriage to the Ports, and Part hath been shipped a considerable
time for London: And praying some Provision may be
made in the Bill now before the House, for discouraging
the Importation of Thrown-silk; That what is already
shipped off, and on the Way as aforesaid, upon the Petitioners Account, may not be charged with any new Imposition.
Ordered, That the Consideration of the said Petition
be referred to the Committee of the whole House, to
whom the said Bill is committed.
Resolved, That Mr. Speaker do leave the Chair.
Mr. Speaker left the Chair.
Mr. Speaker resumed the Chair.
Resolved, That Mr. Harcourt do take the Chair of the
Mr. Harcourt took the Chair of the Committee.
Mr. Harcourt reports from the Committee of the
whole House, That they had made some Progress in the
said Bill; but had not gone through the same.

Bill be referred to a select Committee.
And it is referred unto Sir Tho. Hussey, Mr. Paul
Foley, Sir Christopher Musgrave, Mr. Herne, Lord Chenie,

Jos. Williamson, Mr. Foot Onslow, Mr. Ryder, Sir John
Bolles, Mr. England, Mr. Sherrard, Mr. Pitts, Mr.

**The Anabolic/Androgenic Dosages & Effects of Formestane**
After receiving numerous PM's about Formestane and proper dosing protocol, I was compelled to create this thread, in which I will outline the proper and effective use of Formestane products.
Formestane(4-Hyroxyandrostenedione) is a steroial aromatase inhibitor and a prohormone to the anabolic steroid 4-Hydroxytestosterone. It is not only effective for estrogen reduction, it is also a mild anabolic steroid. It was first patented by G.D. Searle & Co. in 1955, but it never hit the commercial market. Structurally, 4-Hydroxytestosterone is simply testosterone with a hydroxy group at the four position, making it most similar to the steroid clostebol, which has a chloro group at the four position. Formestane and Clostebol(and Halodrol/Promagnon) are very similar in effect.
4-Hydroxytestosterone is .65 times as anabolic and .25 times as androgenic as testosterone propionate. The reason that Formestane has such low androgenic activity is that the modification at the 4th position prevents DHT conversion. In vitro, 4-Hydroxytestosterone is actually a weak inhibitor of 5-alpha reductase.
Oral Formestane
Estrogen Reduction: 200-500mg
Anabolic/Androgenic effects: 500-1,000mg(*or higher)
Transdermal Formestane
Estrogen Reduction: 100-200mg
Anabolic/Androgenic effects: 300-500mg(*or higher)
Formestane can be used for the following:
-As a stand-alone PROHORMONE in higher dosages.
-While on cycle to reduce estrogen levels while increasing gains.
-As a Testosterone Booster.
*I would not suggest using Formestane during PCT, at this point there is not enough data available to conclude whether or not it will inhibit HPTA recovery.
