6 Arguments For and Against The Privatization of OUSD Land17 Sep
The newest piece out on the Hands Off Dewey struggle. This one takes a look at some of the key arguments OUSD has put out in favor of moving forward with demolishing Dewey. The District arguments, though, aren't just about Dewey or just the white-washing of a bad plan by OUSD staff. They represent concrete examples of how neoliberalism and austerity plays out in our school district. The ins and outs of these arguments should be studied by everyone who wants to fight for a socially just OUSD and world. Definitely worth reading.
Originally posted on Hands Off Dewey!:
The past two months have seen an upsurge of community organizing on the part of public school teachers, parents, students and community members of Oakland against the privatization of the old OUSD Admin building on 2nd Avenue, and the threat of displacement that faces Dewey Academy next door. Though the organizing, discussions, actions and analyses generated from the grassroots of OUSD's communities have been inspiring to all those participating, they've been demeaned by some in OUSD. High level board members and administrators have claimed that those of us against the privatization of public land are being "biased" in our positions.
In order to address our critique of the pro-privatization…

Don't Demolish Dewey! Rescind the RFQ! Dewey should not be moved because Dewey students are already at-risk. Moving their school, even for just one year, definitely raises the likelihood of them dropping out. Any other location would be unsafe for Dewey students. Dewey was just moved a decade ago and it was intentionally moved near Lake Merritt because it's gang-neutral territory. Students have said this location is the safest place for them. Moreover, Dewey students as at-risk youth of color in Oakland, are always being under-supported and not prioritized. You of all people should not be thinking of demolishing Dewey.
Don't Demolish Dewey! Rescind the RFQ! There are much better sources of funds than gentrifying Oakland and demolishing active, thriving public schools. We should cut managerial administrative positions and salaries instead. In 2012-13 (the most recent year with sufficient data), OUSD had 2x the administrators than Fremont, the next closest sized district in Alameda County. If we had the same amount of administrators we would save $13 million. And OUSD officials and Board members should start a campaign that developers, Kaiser, the Port, Google, and other Oakland and Bay Area corporations be taxed to fully support quality public education.
Update on Dewey31 Jul
Posted below is our most recent update on Dewey. We published it a couple weeks ago on the Oakland Local blog. It's not fully up to date at this point since it's missing our most recent actions including our BBQ on Monday, 7/28. Still it's worth posting for our archives here and so everyone can get an idea of the ongoing nature of our work around Dewey and gentrification within OUSD.
Stopping Gentrification in OUSD:
Update from Struggle to Stop Displacement of Dewey and Privatization of Public Land
By Aram Mendoza and N. Finch
Since we last wrote about the potential development deal that would potentially displace Dewey Academy and sell off public land, we've witnessed an inspiring awareness and mobilization among the OUSD community. At each of the two relevant board meetings that happened last week, the 7-11 meeting and OUSD school board, students, educators, and community members came out to speak against the proposed development deal that would privatize public land. Below we outline a brief update on each meeting and review the major problems of this attempt to privatize public space in Oakland. Throughout this piece we put forth a vision of how we should approach the key issues in this process.
Specifically, we call for:
- Public land to remain under public control; No privatization of public land.
- Parent, staff, student, and community should decide OUSD policy.
- The OUSD admin and the school board should become community activists and fight for taxes on property developers, corporations, and the port, rather than resorting to short-term privatization schemes.
7-11 Meeting, Community Response and Colonial Analogies
On Monday, June 23rd, the 7-11 Committee convened its third meeting in order to advise the school board on whether or not Dewey Academy should be considered "surplus property" and thereby offer it up to luxury condo developers as a saleable/leaseable parcel of land. While OUSD so poorly promoted attendance at previous 7-11 meetings that no more than four or five community members showed up, this one had over 30 educators, students and parents from Dewey, joined by a handful of concerned community members.
The fact that educators and students were able to quickly get the word out and mobilize the community, without any outreach support from OUSD, demonstrates the strong opposition to the OUSD administration's plans to privatize the public land that Dewey rests on. The grouping of educators, students and community members put up signs around the room that read, "Schools Not Condos," "Dewey is not Surplus," "Not One Inch of Public Land for Private Developers," and other messages that clearly took a clear stand against the administration's move to privatize public space.
Dewey Academy in Danger of Displacement: Gentrification and the Oakland Unified School District21 Jun
Dewey Academy in Danger of Displacement:
Gentrification and the Oakland Unified School District
By Aram Mendoza and N. Finch in collaboration with Dewey teachers
Displacement of long-time, low-income residents due to gentrification has been an all too common story in the Bay Area recently. Now the same insidious process is targeting some of the most "at-risk" students in Oakland. Over the past two weeks, in the end of school rush, the Oakland Unified School District's administration revealed they have been in close discussions with gentrifying developers that puts Dewey Academy, one of the public continuation high schools in the OUSD, in the cross-hairs of real estate agents and developers. The developers are already planning a 24 story luxury condo building overshadowing Dewey and now want to add Dewey and the old OUSD headquarters to the project. What follows is an overview of the situation, why it's problematic, how it's situated in the context of gentrification in the Bay Area, and what those of us opposed to the displacement of Dewey and the gentrification of Oakland can do about it.
"Surplus Property" and "Surplus Populations"
On Monday, June 10th, an OUSD-initiated group named the "7-11 Committee" (the name stems from the requirement that the committee have at least 7, and not more than 11, people on it) met for the second time. The Committee was composed of various real estate attorneys, members of charter school boards of directors, and a couple community members. Not a single active OUSD teacher or student was on the committee – the only current educator on the committee was the current principal of Dewey Academy. They were charged with "advising" the school board as to the status of the OUSD property located on 2nd Avenue, east of the lake between E. 10th and E. 12th streets. This property currently houses the former OUSD administration building, which was mysteriously flooded last year, as well as Dewey Academy. The question set before the Committee was to determine whether or not the parcel of land housing both the former OUSD admin building and Dewey Academy was "surplus property."
Surplus property is defined as property that is retained by the school district but is not currently being used. How can anyone imagine that an actual school – Dewey Academy – that has just graduated about 130 students in the past weeks, and that houses a GED program for community members could ever be considered "surplus"? During the first 7-11 committee, one of the OUSD's attorneys referred to the "surplussing" of Dewey – that is, using the word "surplus" as a verb – and described the way that the OUSD and developers could actively convert Dewey into "surplus property" in order to make it open for development. (1)
The surplus property category is being used as a means to displace Dewey students and treat them as a surplus population. It has nothing to do with Dewey actually being property that's considered "surplus." This mirrors the treatment of Oakland's youth in the broader society. Seen as an expendable, incarcerable, and unemployable "surplus population," Oakland's youth are those who should be pushed to the margins in order to make way for more desirable occupants of land – those that can afford the lakeside view from the window of their 10th floor condominium. This is the opposite of how they are treated at Dewey Academy where educators and community members work hard to support students who are missing credits needed to graduate, impacted by gangs and who might otherwise slip through the cracks of other OUSD schools.
Against the Displacement of Dewey Academy
"The safest place for Dewey to be [for the students] is right where it is . . . " - Dewey High School alum
There are at least three central reasons that highlight how problematic and oppressive the move to displace Dewey and the OUSD Administration building are.
First of all, Dewey's current location is next to the Youth Heart Health Center, a student centered free health clinic that Dewey students helped design, in collaboration with OUSD employees and MetWest High School students. What sense does it make to take our highest risk, highest need students away from a health center that they helped design? While the OUSD has committed in rhetoric to prioritizing the social/emotional needs of Oakland youth, this move by the administration directly goes against the social/emotional needs of Dewey students and, by extension, all youth who access the health center. These students helped shape the YHHC with the understanding that they would be able to access the medical services there. Since its opening, Dewey students have made up the highest percentage of youth who have accessed the clinic. Without these young people being in close proximity to the YHHC, the center's numbers may decline and put them at risk of budget cuts and layoffs, causing further harm to all students who access the center – including those from MetWest and La Escuelita.
Additionally, many students at Dewey are gang-impacted, and the location of Dewey in an accessible and relatively neutral territory by the lake means that students can come to school and be in a safer space than they would be if they had to attend another school in another neighborhood. The informally discussed alternative locations of Fremont High School in East Oakland, Santa Fe elementary in North Oakland and Lakeview campus north of the lake are all either unsafe for gang impacted students or inappropriately far, especially for youth who are already struggling with truancy. This proposed displacement will only further the alienation and marginalization that these young people face by destabilizing what is perhaps one of the most stable institutions in their lives. If Dewey did not exist and function as it is, and where it is, many of these students would not have the opportunity to recover credits in a safer space and eventually graduate with a high school diploma.
Lastly, the decision making process behind Dewey's forced displacement has been incredibly undemocratic and marginalizing of youth, educator and community voices. The committee that is advising the school board on whether or not Dewey is "surplus property" includes real estate lawyers that represent condominium developers and charter school board members. This is unacceptable and disrespectful – nobody should decide the fate of a school but the students, educators and staff who make the school run on a daily basis. The fact that this committee was appointed by the superintendent without any meaningful engagement with the school community is a slap in the face to a community of students and educators who have worked hard to make Dewey one of the safest campuses for struggling students in Oakland.
All of these problematics surrounding the seemingly forced displacement of Dewey lead us to the question: why is this displacement being pushed forward in such a rushed way?
The Disconnected Rhetoric of a Forgotten Superintendent23 Apr
Tony Smith's recent anti-teacher editorial in support of the plaintiffs in the Vergara v. California supreme court case, published by the OaklandTribune (a historically and current right-wing pro-business rag) comes as no surprise to Classroom Struggle. His departure–from the lucrative post as superintendent of Oakland Unified School District (OUSD)–was precipitated by teacher, student, and parent-led protests of school closings/union busting/closure of Adult Education, and two Oakland Schools police scandals. As Smith oversaw a record influx of charter schools, and a number of public school closures, the flood of protest resistance rose higher than the flood waters at the 2ND Avenue OUSD Administration offices, which forced a relocation to the former Cole Middle School — a school later replaced by an Oakland Schools police substation and eventually a charter school move-in. The amount of money Tony Smith's leadership wasted on administration and consultants coupled with an annual failure to spend the mandated 55% of budget funds on classrooms, should shed light what Tony Smith actually did as Superintendent of Oakland Schools. This oft-spoken advocate of critical race theory and strident supporter of young African American men, is gone and forgotten, though the legacy of his devastating policies present the public with important work to organize against and overturn these corporate/private attacks on public education.
In contrast to the teacher, student, and parent outrage at Tony Smith's policies, his plans were met with a minimum level of resistance by the Oakland teachers' union, the Oakland Education Association (OEA). The only minor pushback consisted of a widely respected one-day strike in response to Smith and the School Board's contract imposition. Otherwise, Smith did everything he could to delegitimize the OEA. With the majority of the school board in his back pocket and union leadership too willing to collaborate, Smith's promise of "full-service community schools" proved in reality to be no-service community schools.
But the OEA was not alone in this fight, resistance heightened up to and throughout the Occupy Movement where a proposal at the Occupy Oakland general assembly, resulted in the creation of a committee (the Occupy Oakland Education Committee) specifically aimed at challenging Smith's policies and his union-busting corporate, pro-charter camp. With the support of the Occupy Oakland Movement,this committee, now called Classroom Struggle, participated in organizing thousands of Oakland's finest students, teachers and parents in marches for the defense of public education. This organizing reached a high point in a concerted fight against Smith's closure of five public elementary schools after the 2011/2012 school year.
Collaborating with Occupy Oakland, Classroom Struggle served as the organizing committee for an 18 day sit-in and People's Summer School at Lakeview Elementary — an effort led by teachers, elementary and middle school children, and parents devastated by the closures of their neighborhood schools. The sit-in culminated in a march and rally on the front lawn of Tony Smith's house after a 4am police raid (commanded by infamous Officer Bhatt, more on him later) on what was a peaceful sit-in and People's School. Without a doubt, the presence of a huge and diverse crowd of Oakland citizens protesting Smith's policies and police action on a peaceful sit-in, landed an impactful left hook to the chin of a bureaucrat who did everything possible to maintain a progressive facade–a facade shaken by two Oakland schools police scandals.
The police scandals began with the resignation of racist Oakland Schools Police Chief Pete Sarna, and followed with the murder of an unarmed, black young man by two Oakland schools police officers. Tony Smith was complicit in these two scandals. First, he presided over the hiring of Sarna, who prior to working as OUSD Police Chief, resigned in disgrace from the position of Deputy Director of Law Enforcement for Jerry Brown's state Justice Department–after Sarna crashed the state's Chevy Tahoe into a tow truck and was cited for misdemeanor drunk driving. Apparently Smith and the Oakland School Board felt this type of behavior was good enough for Oakland Schools Police Chief.
Equally disgusting was Smith and the OUSD School Board's pick to replace the racist Sarna after Smith's second police scandal in which a young unarmed, black man, Raheim Brown, was shot and killed by OUSD police officers. Officer Barhin Bhatt was chosen as Interim Police Chief after having just shot and killed Raheim Brown outside a Skyline High School Dance. According to Barhin Bhatt's partner, Officer John Bellusa, Bhatt shot two rounds into the body of Raheim Brown, and then fired another five rounds to finish off the young man who had driven up the hill to hangout with his date. In a sworn affidavit, Bellusa testified that he ordered the first round of shots because Brown allegedly had a screw driver, but no longer considered Raheim a threat after the first bullets, yet Bhatt still made sure this young man wouldn't live to see his 20th birthday. Bellusa also swore he witnessed Officer Bhatt consume alcoholic drinks while on duty; another nice choice for Chief of the Police Department that "serves and protects" the students of the Oakland Unified School District. To top it all off, Bellusa also implicated Tony Smith in the coverup of Brown's murder. In making the decision to promote a trigger happy Bhatt and assisting in the coverup of murder, Smith's concern for young black men proved to be the standard lipservice of a top down bureaucrat. To read a full report of this gross police misconduct click here.
This decision to name Officer Bhatt as Interim Chief of Police was met with stiff resistance and a large campaign for justice led by Raheim Brown's family. This young man was gunned down by an incompetent police force who were being led by a racist drunk. With this type of misleadership, no sane person would ever mistake Tony Smith for someone who truly cares about the lives of OUSD students and families, especially young black men and their families. Smith's shameless pandering to a progressive urban populace is nearly as bad as he and the School Board pretending to provide full service community schools, while defunding libraries, counseling, nursing, the arts and the remnants of Adult Education/GED programs, to name but a few of the services gutted by the Smith regime.
Yet, if the above doesn't dispel Tony's myths about teachers, then maybe the numbers will. The Smith-led Oakland Unified School District was fined every year for having too many administrators. With an excess of school administrators, high turn-over of OUSD teachers, and the imposition of the Accelerated Teachers on Special Assignment (TSA) policy, one has to wonder about the legitimacy of Smith's claim that administrators don't have the capacity to fire "bad teachers". The district was fined just under one million last year alone for its numerous administrators; lets also remember that OUSD and its School Board chose not to dispense the mandated 55% of the overall budget to classroom expenditures every year since Smith took office. In 2011, classroom teachers were shorted $10.8 million dollars below the required minimum 55%, while the district continued to waste further millions on consultants and police annually–money that could pay for more teachers, allowing for reduction in class sizes and caseloads, and student access to crucial services. Surely re-prioritizing spending on teachers and student access to services would get much closer to "full-service community schools" than the Tony Smith model of racist killer cops; excessive administration payouts; school closures; rampant union busting; the decimation of Adult Education; or a record # of charter schools spreading anti-union agendas, something Tony Smith also proved to be quite committed to with mutual matching and the Accelerated Teachers on Special Assignment (TSA) positions forced upon teachers at Fremont, Castlemont and McClymonds high schools.
T. Smith's model is not a recipe for "full-service community schools". No, his is a recipe for privatization with teachers as scapegoats and poor childrens' futures, the collateral costs. For more context on the annual shortchanging of Oakland's teachers and families and its connection to the criminalization of youth as more and more money is spent on police and security, please check out this report. Just because Tony Smith is gone and forgotten, doesn't mean his policies are not still front and center in the Struggle for Public Education. There can be no rest until Public Education is transformed into something entirely different from the Broad/Gates/Smith "Race to the Top" plan. Unified action is necessary.
Good riddance Tony, your thinly veiled privatization schemes will never fool the teachers, students, and families of Oakland. Your backhanded attempt to degrade the profession of teachers and slander the real commitment Oakland teachers have to Oakland children holds no ground when faced with the realities of your racist, police scandal ridden, and privatization legacy.
Classroom Strugglehas launched a campaign with parents, students and teachers to ensure that class-size reductions proposed by the OEA are won in negotiations–a struggle that may necessitate a teacher, parent, and student strike. We call on Oakland residents who are committed to quality public education for all children, to work side by side with us to create those "full-service community schools" that Tony Smith loved to pay lipservice but never, in fact, realized.

Bob Barker, The Venerated Elder of The Chow Nation, is going to go live with Santa. While I am deeply sad about the separation, I know he will have a good life with Santa as his life here has detriorated to joyless interims of wakeful unrest. He can't see, he can't hear, his rear legs don't work anymore and he is rail thin, probably with very brittle bones. Bob has welcomed me home for over 20 years, barking when my car hit the bottom of the driveway saying, Hey! I missed you! You're back! He was there when I came through the door from my mother's funeral and from the hospital where my dad died in my arms. He was there for the pool parties, birthdays, graduations, Thanksgivings, Christmases, Easters and Halloweens/JBelle, Notes From The 'Kan EWA. More here

Synopsis: When Ripley's lifepod is found by a salvage crew over 50 years later, she finds that terra-formers are on the very planet they found the alien species. When the company sends a family of colonists out to investigate her story... all contact is lost with the planet and colonists. They enlist Ripley and the colonial marines to return and search for answers.
While there are many who will argue that Ridley Scott's "Alien" is still the pinnacle of the franchise, there is an equal number who argue passionately for James Cameron's "Aliens" as the high point in the series.

RNG Practice to get perfect shiny legends from BW2
Friend Code: 4124-5357-7452 PM me if you add.
Safari: Flying
Pokemon: Pidgey, Woobat, Tropius
After numerous attempts and failures, I finally managed to get my own shiny Uxie! It really proved to be a tricky one with all the NPCs running around in the city. I actually had to hit my timer0 and frame 3 times because I managed to knock it out with a critical hit twice.. Talk about bad luck, especially with such an annoying catch.
I also noticed something weird while RNG'ing the Uxie. I used two different seeds, first one with a shiny on frame 437 but wanted one with less frame advances so I found another one which had a shiny on frame 201. I managed to get the first shiny before changing to the other seed, doing nothing out of ordinary and simply stopping the frame advances 1 before my target frame. On the second seed though, when I did this I never got a shiny when I did exactly the same thing. Propably the NPCs advancing the frame between closing the menu and talking to Uxie. So I tried again, still stopping 1 frame before my target and again, no shiny. 3rd and 4th times I tried stopping one or two frames earlier but still had no luck. Finally I gave up and went back to using the first seed, and voila, got a shiny Uxie (which I then also knocked out) very soon by once again by stopping one frame before the target frame. Third time's the charm though, finally caught the shiny pixie after a long fight.
All of this made me think that the NPCs might not be all that random. They acted very consistently on the first seed, always advancing the starting frame by 31 and never after the advances, and also on the second one since they always advanced the starting frame by 30 and always after the advances as well. Or, maybe I was just lucky. Knowing this might help someone else in the future though so I thought I'd write it down.

Apart from applying bed bug control products, another way to eliminate bed bugs totally is to remove the physical possibility of their travelling from wherever they are hiding to the host during the night.
Best Bed Bug Hunter Denver 2010 - Colorado K-9 Detection Services Inc.
Just thinking about bedbugs is enough to make most people squirm — and everyone squirms a little faster when they hear that bedbugs are on the rise in Denver, showing up in apartment complexes, dorms, even homes. After leaving the corporate world, Leon Bayha got the bug to do something about these little critters, and he put his handy canine sidekick, Buzz, through 800 hours of training at the Florida Canine Academy. Working together as Colorado K-9 Detective Services, Bayha and Buzz can track down bedbugs with deadly efficiency — and put all those squirmy concerns to rest.
Hello. I am a Regional Manager for a Property Management group here in Denver and was wanting to inquire on your pricing. We manage nearly 40 apartment communities in the Denver area.
How much would you charge to have your canine inspect a unit for bed bugs?
Please let me know at your earliest convenience.
Thank you,
Shannon Dippenaar

The NCAA's sanctions imposed on Pennsylvania State University for its response to Jerry Sandusky's molestation crimes are based on "unproven" findings about the college's culture, a group of former faculty leaders said.
The National Collegiate Athletic Association's sanctions are based on "sweeping and unsupported generalizations" made by former FBI director Louis Freeh, who was hired by Penn State to investigate the Sandusky affair, according to a statement yesterday from 30 former leaders of Penn State's Faculty Senate.
After Sandusky, a former assistant football coach at Penn State, was found to have molested boys on and off campus for 15 years, the NCAA reprimanded the university with a $60 million fine and a ban on playing in bowl games for at least four years. The athletic association cited Freeh, whose investigation found that top Penn State officials concealed allegations against Sandusky.
While Penn State needs to examine and improve its operations, "generalizations by the Freeh group and the NCAA do not provide a satisfactory basis for productive change," the group of former faculty leaders said. "The sanctions are deeply unjust to the university and unfair to its students."
The NCAA also vacated all Penn State's football wins from 1998 to 2011.

This week we traveled to Wellman, Texas to surprise the Brown family. You know, the Brown's are really an amazing family — Jeanne, Johnny Mac and their daughter Katrina. They absolutely have had one of the most tragic situations, losing their child Alex to a texting while driving accident. They have been able to look beyond their own personal grief and realize that the message is more impactful than their grief. As a mother I can tell you that there's nothing in the world I can imagine worse than losing a child. The fact that they lost a child and they were immediately able to take a message and move forward with it just testifies to the integrity and the character of this family.
This week we traveled to Nashville to build a new structure for the Lighthouse School because they've sustained a massive amount of damage during the floods back in June. I think everybody in the country saw on different news stations part of the school floating down the river. I'm from Tennessee, born and raised, and there wasn't anyone who could have looked at that footage and not go, "Oh my gosh."

Provo River to River | Area Trails
"The River to River Ride is for the slightly more adventurous. It's a 35 mile one-way trip from Vivian Park along the Provo River Trail, connecting to the Murdock Canal Trail at Orem 800 N, following the Murdock for 20 miles to the Jordan River Trail in Lehi, then south next to the Jordan River to Utah Lake. The connection between the Murdock and Provo River was completed this last spring, and we are anticipating completing the last 1-mile gap between the Murdock and the Jordan River trail later this year, so until then this route would require about 3/4 mile ride on a quiet local road in Thanksgiving Point area.
"There is a one mile diversion on the Murdock in Highland, but it is mostly paved trail and connects through Highland Glen Park. The rest is 1/4 mile of very quiet local street and about 1/3 mile sidewalk. It is clearly signed all the way. This is temporary as we are waiting on a right of way agreement between Utah County and the State in order to build a direct connection. There are two steep climbs on this route of about 8% grade, but they are short, the longest being about 1/10 mile."
Old Snowbasin Road | Map
From Ogden Mayor Mike Caldwell:
"Old Snowbasin road is a beautiful winding road through mountain meadows and thick stands of aspen. I've seen moose, deer and elk and the grade allows you to ride a smooth even tempo the entire ride."

Park City to Wolf Creek | Map
Levi and I used to ride that together quite a bit when he'd come into town to prepare for the Tour of Utah. It's stunning and tops at 10,000 feet at the top and has minimal traffic during weekdays. We'd usually return through Kamas and then take the road over through Oakley and up Brown's Canyon to return back to Park City. I think it's around 75 miles round-trip if memory serves."
Emigration Canyon and Big Mountain | Map
We had two experts recommend Emigration Canyon, author Gregg Bromka and pro cyclist Tiffany Pezzulo. The recommendation comes with good reason: this is a classic Salt Lake ride right out of downtown that can be tackled by a variety of riders, though you'll instantly recognize the advanced riders when they pass you going up the hill.
There are actually multiple ways of experiencing this ride, but they all must pass through the relatively gentle 8-mile climb up Emigration Canyon that starts from the parking lots at the canyon's entrance, just past Hogle Zoo.
The canyon can be accessed from the city with a short but steep burst up Sunnyside Avenue (800 South) to the mouth of the canyon — it's frankly harder than the canyon itself. Beyond the 8-mile ride to the summit of Little Mountain, Big Mountain and loop options await.
In Detail
When it comes to riding Salt Lake, Gregg Bromka, author of Bicycling Salt Lake City (Falcon Guides) knows them all. When asked for a favorite, he turned to our Emigration Canyon gem (we recommend you take his advice and stop at Ruth's Diner on the way down):
Emigration Canyon: Make it a Loop
Tiffany Pezzulo is professsional cyclist who races for Vanderkitten, and along with her team, will be racing the two women's races held in conjunction with the Tour of Utah, the Cedar City Grand Prix, and the Women's Edition. She gives a loop option that takes this ride a BIG step further.
"This is a beautiful ride with hardly any lights and not too much traffic. You get a nice climb which gets steeper in the last mile. Descend to a pretty reservoir (where there are bathrooms but no water) then do a steeper climb up to Big Mountain. You can do it as an out and back or if you want an adventure you can ride a dirt road (ok to ride with your road tires — just make sure you have extra tubes) to make it a loop. I like accessing Emigration Canyon via neighborhood quiet roads...It is a more gentle climb, less traffic and more shade!"
After Big Mountain, continue on Route 65 (descending) for about 5 miles
Take a right on Jeremy Ranch Road which is a dirt road. If you hit East Canyon Resort, you went too far.
When road dead ends at pavement in a subdivision take a right on paved road (Jeremy Road)

Winter fogs past
I love those freezing winter nights, when everything condenses into one big fog.
And the light blurs...
And the shapes merge...

Not a big hill by Lake District standards, but a popular one.
Because of its pleasant ascents past the tarns and rock formations.
And the view over Buttermere and the valley.

Flashride for Blackfriars
In 2000, London's previous mayor, Ken Livingstone, began the process of fixing forty years of mistakes that had been made in the pursuit of the impossible -- the comfortable accommodation of mass motor vehicle use in a dense city centre. He recognised that cities are supposed to be places for people and returned key locations like Trafalgar Square to use as more than mere traffic gyratories.
But the current mayor has not quite caught up with the modern age and still labours under the delusion that congestion and the problems of the motor vehicle can be solved with bigger and faster roads.
While claiming to be the cycling mayor he tells us that a splash of blue paint along the gutter and through the bus stops is enough to fix the conditions that prevent most people from ever using their bicycles.
And his officers at TfL push through these wider and faster roads in the name of, er, accommodating pedestrians (wider roads are good for pedestrians, right?). While ripping out the pedestrian crossings.
After ignoring the thousands of objections to the wider and faster road layout at Blackfriars, TfL announced last week that they were bring in the earth movers on Friday night. So with 48 hours notice we assembled a thousand cyclists for a go slow.
It might be too late for Blackfriars this time around, but we still have a mayor who is stuck in 1970s, determined to force ever more motor vehicles through the centre of the city, at the expense of the sensible majority who combine walking, cycling, and public transport, and the vibrant city activity that depends on attracting people. It's not the last he's heard from us.

The Moine House
The geology and landscape of the Scottish Highlands are famously divided by the Great Glen fault. Less famous is the Moine Thrust Belt, running almost parallel to the Great Glen a hundred miles north. Here the rocks and landscape of the northern Highlands are pushed over those of the Hebrides and far north west, forming a belt of steep hills and cliffs from the north coast at Eriboll down to the west coast at Skye. It's named for The Moine -- the moss -- the vast peat moor that sits at the top of the hill on the northern Highland rocks above Eriboll on the northern coast of Sutherland.
As you climb the A838 from the sea inlets — from Loch Eriboll heading east, or from Kyle of Tongue heading west — the great flat empty moor stretches to the distant mountains, Ben Loyal in the east and Ben Hope in the west, interrupted only by two curious steep pyramids almost on the horizon. As you cross the bog they grow into the gable-end walls of a house, a perfectly ordinary little highland cottage isolated in the middle of the moor.
With two rooms, a porch, and a loft, Moine House was built with the road in 1830 as a half-way stop for travellers. Occupied by several generations of Mackays, up to ten people at a time, the house still acted as an inn for travellers throughout the 1800s, until the motorcar era negated its original purpose, and the Mackays moved on to less harsh and more profitable locations.
The roof fell in sometime around 1987, though there has been some attempt since to preserve what remains. The EU have since "improved" the A838 by building a whole new road over the moor on a different alignment, straighter, wider, faster, allowing the old single track road outside the house to slowly fade under the moss. Despite its isolated location, miles from anything in an already sparsely populated region without cities, it has managed to acquire some murals, distinctly urban in style, slightly faded now after three or four years exposed to the relentless rain of the northern Highlands.

The Hutong
At the start of the 15th century, when the Ming Dynasty was young, Beijing was established as the new Chinese capital — a heavily planned city, a rectangle laid out on a north-south axis around the great imperial palace, the Forbidden City.
Around the palace, dense blocks of residential buildings, the hutongs, arranged in a grid that stretched to the city walls and moat; the more prosperous and higher status families closer to the centre.
The hutongs evolved through dynasties, civil wars, and revolutions, declining as they became overcrowded and rundown. But they began to be truly threatened in the second half of the 20th century, when the grid of main streets was widened into great boulevards.
And the city walls and moat replaced by the Second Ring Road (there is no first ring road, but there is a third, and a fourth, and a fifth; the sixth is under construction and the seventh in planning stages), the hutong increasingly replaced by glass office towers and concrete apartment blocks.
The city's population boomed and as the economy grew its nascent middle class sprawled out far beyond the old city walls, and in the ancient centre, every accessible patch of ground was filled with a commuter's car -- there are five million of them in the city already, growing by 10% per year, or 1,500 extra cars every day.
In the run-up to the 2008 Olympics, the city invested in much regeneration — which often simply meant evicting residents of a hutong and bulldozing it.
But just as in Europe in the 1950s-70s, public opinion has quickly turned against this destruction of established neighbourhoods.
And now instead the remaining hutongs are being restored and gentrified as the city discovers a new way to exploit them in the burgeoning consumerist economy.
The Chinese have even noticed that the motorcar is not a sensible or scalable solution to transport in densely populated places, and is investing heavily in alternatives.

Cyrus Farivar answers the question for himself in a radio commentary for CBC Radio 1โs Spark!. You can listen to the complete program here. I found it after browsing Cyrus Farivarโs blog, a great example of how a freelance journalist makes use of the blog platform. And I found his blog after listening to a story he produced about Iranian bloggers behind bars for PRIโs The World.
Farivar found during a recent stay in France that he remained connected to North American media via iPhone. He read the New York Times instead of Le Monde, and noted strategically for his CBC listeners that North American public radio is so much better than anything he could hear in France. His conclusion? He consumed his familiar media because he could, because the Internet now makes it so easy to do so.
I have to admit that Iโm guilty of the same cultural practice.ย When Iโm in Toronto, I wake up with NPRโs Morning Edition instead of CBCโs Metro Morning with Andy Barrie. I used to listen to Andy. I constructed my mental map of the GTA with coordinates learned by listening to the traffic reports. But as it became easier and easier to get an NPR stream on the net, I reverted to my standard morning routine. I told myself that I couldnโt get enough news โ U.S. and international — otherwise. Blame it on the crack of news.
The argument works in the other direction, though. Thanks to the Internet, I can follow Cyrus Farivar wherever geek wanderlust carries him. And I can turn down the volume on my American radio to listen to a CBC stream.

I start this journal by expressing the truth behind the statement that no two pregnancies are alike. Having already had one child and spending the necessary nine months carrying him, I entered this pregnancy with the assumption that I "knew what I was getting myself into." While it is true that I know what it is like to be pregnant and to deliver a baby I'm quickly discovering that no one pregnancy can prepare you for the next. That being said, I would like to share with you the details of this unique pregnancy as they unfold.
I should first introduce myself. My name is Deb and I am the mother of a beautiful 19-month-old little boy. Jacob was born in December of 1998 after a very uneventful pregnancy. Sure, I had "every waking minute" sickness for the first five months of my pregnancy, but that was the only complication. Even the conception was "easy." In fact, my husband Rob and I had been married only four days when we decided to start trying.
It was a warm night at Walt Disney World. We sat outside a quiet restaurant awaiting our reservation time and decided that from then on we'd just let nature take its course. A few short hours later I was awakened by a powerful dream in which I had not one, but six babies! While the dream was a bit absurd I was so convinced that I was pregnant I abandoned everything from caffeine and alcohol to the Advil we'd packed in our suitcase. Sure enough, when we returned home three weeks later I found myself violently ill at the very smell of the Easter dinner I was preparing for both our families. Little did I know that nearly every food item would render me useless for the next five months. A home pregnancy test revealed the wonderful news just a few days later. After nine months, and a brief overnight snowfall to truly set the mood, Rob and I brought home our little bundle of joy, on Christmas Eve.

MsSarge having surgery today
Mary, hope your cataract op goes without incident today.
I'll be thinking of you.:hugs:
Mary, you're in my thoughts and :aprayer:
Thinking of you too.....xx
Sending all my healing thoughts! Be gentle with yourself over the next few days. :hugs:
Ditto to all above. Be patient with the healing process. Some docs, understate the time but everything I have heard is happy endings.
Hope your on your way to a speedy recovery!:hugs:
Hope you have a quick recovery! And hope you don't realize you made a purchase in the last few months that was ENTIRELY not the color you thought it was!! LOL!! My mother had bought a car she thought was dark burgundy but after her cataract surgery, she realized it was candy-apple red! Plus, the day before her surgery, she went and had her nails done with her granddaughter. She did not realize until AFTER her surgery that she had on lime green nail polish! LOL! :hyst:
I am sure you will do fine with your surgery!! :hugs:
Sending good thoughts!!!
All best wishes to you, Mary! Hope everybody treats you like a queen for a little while and you heal beautifully.
Thanks for the thread, Cindy!
Wishing you a quick recovery !!! :):heart:
Mary, I hope the op is a spectocular success and you recover in no time. :heart:
Thinking of you!
Best wishes!
Sending healing thoughts and prayers your way, Mary! Speedy recovery to you! :hugs:
Hope all went well! My mom just had one eye done, and will get the other one in a couple months.... :)
Has anyone heard an update?
Waiting for news....
How are you doing Mary? Hoping for an update soon!:hugs:
Wow!!!! :heart::hugs::heart::hugs: Thanks for all the kind thoughts and wishes...what a surprise, but it shouldn't be from all the JB's everywhere...Wow!!
Well, it may be am easy procedure from some and everyone I talked with seems to think it is...BUT....my 30-minute procedure turned into a three-hour ordeal and it looks more like a three-day ordeal, Apparently, once the doc got into the procedure, he discovered my cataract was muuuuuuuch tougher than normal..thicker and harder. It wouldn't break up, and was so dense was clogging the suction device that cleans it out once it is broken...then, once they did get it out (I wound up having three doctors working on the eye), the setting for the lens was so distorted they had a one-hour placement issue before they finally got it in place....whew! three hours of laying there looking at a bright light.
They ran out of several meds and had to keep replenishing the supply. Because they used so much of one of them that increases the pressure inside the eyeball..normal pressure is about 10-12 whatevers...mine was 47 overnight and the pain on a scale of 1-10...was at least an 11...I was thinking of going into the er it hurt so much...so back this morning and spent the day relieving some of the pressure and it was down to 37 when I left, with a ton of more medications to try to lower it further overnight...plus the four drops for normal surgeries...and back tomorrow to see if it's working.
The big news is, tho', a couple chunks of the cataract fell into the back of the eye, so next week a retinal doc will have to perform surgery to take them out...I say again,,, whew!...Has not been fun.
Thanks again for all you thoughts and prayers...keep 'em coming, I think I'm gonna need 'em. Msybe I'll be able to see out of it soon...right now all I see is a big white blob...(typing is a b*tch...good thing it comes second nature to a steno) Don't know when I'll be back...but again thanks for the hugs and I'm sending 'em right back...:hugs::hugs::hugs:
:eek: I am so sorry, and indeed shocked, to read what a traumatic time you had. It really does sound like a nightmare. Hopefully you will get it all sorted, but I am so sorry that you will need more surgery.
Drop by when you can.
What an ordeal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please take care of yourself!!!!!
I'm sending prayers right now!
Oh dear! I'm SO sorry you have all this to deal with. :hugs:
wow - hope this gets cleared up and behind you soon. sending good thoughts!
Well for crying out loud!!! How awful for you, Mary! I hope they can get the pieces of cataract out without another big ordeal for you to go thru. I'm surprised with all of that, that they didn't keep you in the hospital......for observation if nothing else!
Take care & keep us posted! :console:
Oh Mary, what an ordeal! I'm so sorry it wasn't easy for you. But just like that darn ol' cataract, you are tough! I hope this next surgery is successful and much less painful than the first. Sending :aprayer: & :hugs:.
Praying for your quick healing and your doctor's to clean up all remaining issues without further trauma.
Hey guys will try to post to a note to let you know I'm still on this side of the grass...just resting, relaxing, trying to see a little TV, and putting drops in my eyes. I have eight containers that are going in every four hour hours, pills I'm taking twice a day and a thick goopy ointment that goes in the eye last thing at night. I have one drop that is put in every hour...and I still can't see a thing out of the right eye...actually I'm starting to see shadows and light and a bit of definitions so something is coming through.
The doc will be checking the eye pressure on Monday, which is a holiday at the Va, but he's coming in special just to check my eye as he says I'm out of normal and went into the special mode. We have the retinal surgery scheduled for Tuesday, so that should take care of the chunks..although I understand there is a about a 10% chance they will dissolve by themselves....and I can just see that happening.
Like I said, not doing much, napping a lot, watching a bit of TV when there's sumpin on...and freezin' my b*tt off...cold, rainy, windy and staying under the blankies when I can. I've lost five pounds this week so it's good for something...back when I can...until then, y'all take care...

Vescere bracis meis Mr Council!
Councils ban 'elitist' and 'discriminatory' Latin phrases - Telegraph
Local authorities have ordered employees to stop using the words and phrases on documents and when communicating with members of the public and to rely on wordier alternatives instead.
The ban has infuriated classical scholars who say it is diluting the world's richest language and is the "linguistic equivalent of ethnic cleansing".
In instructions to staff, the council said: "Many readers do not have English as their first language so using Latin can be particularly difficult."
More dumbing down - it isn't as though the banned phrases are obscure legal phrases, they have been absorbed into our language and are part of our heritage.
Luckily I have discovered a NSFW source of suitable phrases to use when writing to the council...
