For more than 25 years, Advanced Micro Systems, Inc has strengthened its brand by specializing in Apple products and related peripherals. Its Apple-certified technicians handle the entire Apple product line—from iPods to MacBooks—whether or not the product is under warranty. Their services range from device tune-ups and software installation to hardware repair and data recovery.
For the past 20 years, Winnie Gelb and her team of technicians have serviced computers in the Manhattan Beach area, evolving their services to match the latest wave of technology, such as installing Internet phone service and converting VHS tapes to DVD. They continue to repair and clean hardware, and they also fight on the front lines of the battle against harmful forms of software, such as viruses, spyware, and games of Minesweeper that actually detonate your computer.
uBreakiFix CEO Justin Wetherill spoke with Groupon about the importance of protecting your smartphone and the challenges of fixing a phone that has been dropped into a deep fryer.
On the worst thing you can do after cracking your smartphone?s glass screen
?Don?t just put it into your pocket and continue to use it,? Wetherill says. The broken glass can actually cause serious damage to the phone?s inner components and turn a relatively simple fix into a costly repair job.
On the repair process
"Look, this is something we do every day," Wetherill says. "You are not the first person to break a phone.? Collectively, uBreakiFix's highly trained technicians repair more than 20,000 devices a month, drawing from a library of high-quality parts that are tested twice before they ever get used in a repair service. Free diagnostics are a staple at all uBreakiFix locations, so customers understand the problem before any work is done.
On growing his business
uBreakiFix began as a business based out of Wetherill?s living room, and it now boasts more than 60 locations nationwide. ?We are proof that the American dream is alive,? he says.
On unusual repair jobs
Wetherill remembers one fast-food employee who dropped her phone into a restaurant?s deep fryer. ?It smelled pretty bad,? he said; however, the repairs were successful. Another customer lost his phone in a cement mixer. After some serious effort, the technicians were able to safely recover all of the important data, but the phone died a few hours later. As Wetherill pointed out, ?it did go through a cement mixer.? Some miracles just aren?t meant to be.
On the importance of a one-day turnaround time
Repairs at uBreakiFix?s store locations can often take as little as an hour, according to Wetherill. This is a critical part of the shops' focus?something Wetherill personally understands. If forced to choose between spending the weekend without his smartphone or his left arm, he jokes that he would pick the arm. ?Of course, this is assuming that there wouldn?t be any pain,? he laughs.

"One on One: An Interview with David L. Sorensen" By Andrew Reese, Summer 2000, Vol. 36, No. 3, p. 2
Journal of Supply Chain Management Copyright © August 2000, by the Institute for Supply Management, Inc.
Andrew Reese
Andrew Reese, a freelance writer based in Mesa, Arizona.
David L. Sorensen, vice president of purchasingfor General Mills Incorporated, joined the company right out of college in 1972. During his 28 years at General Mills, he advanced from his initial position as a grain buyer/merchandiser to become director of purchasing, packaging, and equipment, before being appointed to his current post in 1996. Along the way, he managed the company's Portland grain operations and its feed ingredient operations, was director of commodity analysis,and spent a year as director of new business development. Mr. Sorensen holds a bachelor's degree in business from Bemidji State University in Bemidji, Minnesota.
The Journal of Supply Chain Management:General Mills is one of the largest food companies in the United States, with lines of cereals, snacks,yogurts, and other food products. Worldwide sales for the company's last fiscal year totaled $7.1 billion, with net earnings of $535 million. What is your role within the organization?
David L. Sorensen: I am responsible for all procurement at Halliburton. This includes both direct and indirect spend. My role is one of global process owner for all Halliburton procurement and supply chain strategy, policies, and processes. Each Halliburton business unit has a dedicated procurement and materials director responsible for day-to-day execution. In this role, I report directly to the company president.
The Journal: What other challenges is your orga- nization facing?
Sorensen: One is to continue generating more strategic value in our relationships with suppliers by integrating both vertically and horizontally in our businesses. That is, by working more closely with our supply chain -from manufacturing and delivery to our customers, back up through the supply chains of our suppliers -to get as much efficiency as possible out of that holistic supply chain. That requires a much more strategic view than a traditional transactional view. Purchasing is having a much larger impact than we have had historically. The whole idea of continually trying to be innovative and finding new and better ways to do things is a challenge, not only for purchasing but also as we look at the supply chain and other parts of the company. Every day, our challenges become more complex and larger. As a result, it's more critical that we work synergistically together with our supply chain partners.
The Journal: How is purchasing and supply helping to resolve these challenges?
Sorensen: Many of the best ideas come from out- side sources. We have a huge obligation to identify what those are and to bring them into our organiza- tion. Because we have a better external look at the world than many different parts of our company, we have an obligation to be a center of innovation, or at least to bring in innovations for the company to look at.
The Journal: Where are you taking purchasing and supply management in your organization?
Sorensen: The whole idea is to work more strategi- cally. Obviously, e-commerce will have a large impact on our business. We are in a time of dynamic change, and when you have a lot of change, there are oppor- tunities for people, so the name of the game is to identify which of those changes bring value propo- sitions and to capture them.
The Journal: WWhat have been your successes and what areas are you working on?
Sorensen: We have been diligent about taking costs out of our interactive points with our suppliers. We have a fully integrated ERP system, so we have been able to significantly red~ce the amount of our transactional activities, as well as the associated costs. We have a low-cost supply chain relative to competi- tors, which has been a direct benefit. Not that some of the e-commerce things that people are talking about and the Jnternet won't allow us to take that even further. But because we are centralized and have a fully integrated ERP system, we have enjoyed the transactional advantages they can bring. As we look ahead in supply base management as a whole, we will continue to take on greater roles in the whole supply chain operation. The importance of being a low-cost supplier and being able to benchmark your success is going to be critical because change and consolidation will only continue [to increase] com- petitive pressure. The other thing that I think we have the opportunity to be better at, or will continue to try to focus on, is bringing in product ideas and supply chain innovations from outside sources.
The Journal: What has been the biggest lesson you have learned in purchasing and supply chain management?
Sorensen: Every day things change, things become more complex. If you really want to have an impact on what those changes can do for you, you have to understand the opportunities in those changes and be flexible and adaptable to capture the benefits.
The Journal: What kinds of research would you like to see done on behalf of purchasing and supply management?
Sorensen: Obviously, right now the activity around e-commerce is huge. But to the extent that our jour- nals can act as conduits for information about what different organizations are working on, I think there is a real opportunity to help cross-fertilize our pro- fession. And more strategic research: What kinds of things will purchasing be doing in the future? What will be the scope of our accountabilities? What are the big opportunities that we might be thinking about in terms of how our roles, organizations, and opportunities might be changing in the future?
The Journal: What is the future for purchasing and supply management in general and at your organization in particular?
Sorensen: We will continue to be in the role of trying to be innovative, and to think of new and different ways of doing things that will bring greater value. I also think that because we have upgraded the caliber of talent in the purchasing profession, other areas of the supply chain and the organiza- tion as a whole will look to purchasing as a place to identify people to add value in other parts of the organization, whether it's distribution, manufacturing, or even sales and marketing. We will continue to have to work to be a low-cost provider, in particular with all the visibility that e-commerce will bring to how people do things. In most organizations, direct and indirect materials account for a significant part of the cost of goods, so the need to be sure that you are a low-cost provider is going to be critical. I also think that we will have to increasingly network and benchmark externally, and bring best practices into our organization. You see more of that happening today with some of the strategic alliances that are being put together. I think you will see a continual rollout of various horizontal and vertical alliances, all geared to take advantage of new technologies that are coming into the marketplace. And also to make sure that the companies have the right critical mass to be low-cost providers, and to continue to benchmark best practices and innovation. It's a great profession to be in right now because it's very dynamic. It's changing a lot. And it's growing in visibility and its ability to impact everyone's business.

Scientists enlist big data to guide conservation efforts
July 18, 2014 12:37 pm | by Robert Sanders, UC Berkeley | News | Comments"Big data" has yet to make a mark on conservation efforts to preserve the planet's biodiversity. But that may soon change with a new model developed by Univ. of California, Berkeley, biologist Brent Mishler and his colleagues in Australia. This effort leverages the growing mass of data to take into account not only the number of species throughout an area, but also the variation among species and their geographic rarity, or endemism.
Blind lead the way in brave new world of tactile technology
July 2, 2014 9:46 am | by Yasmin Anwar, UC Berkeley | News | CommentsNew research at UC Berkeley has found that people are better and faster at navigating tactile technology when using both hands and several fingers. Moreover, blind people in the study outmaneuvered their sighted counterparts, perhaps because they've developed superior cognitive strategies for finding their way around. These insights are useful as more media companies are implementing tactile interfaces.
Young researcher discovers source of disco clams' light show
June 25, 2014 11:27 am | by Robert Sanders, UC Berkeley | Videos | CommentsUsing high speed video, transmission electron microscopy, spectrometry, energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy, and computer modeling, a Univ. of California, Berkeley graduate student has unraveled the mystery of the disco clams flashing "lips". Most people assumed the glowing mantle was the result of bio-luminescence, but Lindsey Dougherty has found it is caused by something else entirely.
Dynamic spectroscopy duo
June 17, 2014 1:34 pm | by Lynn Yarris, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory | News | CommentsFrom allowing our eyes to see, to enabling green plants to harvest energy from the sun, photochemical reactions are ubiquitous and critical to nature. Photochemical reactions also play essential roles in high technology. Using photochemical reactions to our best advantage requires a deep understanding of the interplay between the electrons and atomic nuclei within a molecular system after that system has been excited by light.
New clues to why older women are more vulnerable to breast cancer
June 6, 2014 10:56 am | by Dan Krotz, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory | News | CommentsScientists from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have gained more insights into why older women are more susceptible to breast cancer. They found that as women age, the cells responsible for maintaining healthy breast tissue stop responding to their immediate surroundings, including mechanical cues that should prompt them to suppress nearby tumors.

Metal-organic framework shows new talent
May 21, 2014 8:15 am | News | CommentsThis gift from science just keeps on giving. Measurements taken at NIST show why a material already known to be good at separating components of natural gas also can do something trickier: help convert one chemical to another, a process called catalysis. The discovery is a rare example of a laboratory-made material easily performing a task that biology usually requires a complex series of steps to accomplish.
Lighting the way to graphene-based devices
May 16, 2014 1:45 pm | by Lynn Yarris, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory | News | CommentsGraphene continues to reign as the next potential superstar material for the electronics industry, a slimmer, stronger and much faster electron conductor than silicon. With no natural energy bandgap, however, graphene's superfast conductance can't be switched off, a serious drawback for transistors and other electronic devices.
Astronomers spot most Earth-like planet yet
April 17, 2014 2:56 pm | by Alicia Chang, AP Science Writer | News | CommentsDetected by NASA's orbiting Kepler telescope, a newly found planet is the most Earth-like planet yet detected. Astronomers say the distant, rocky world is similar in size to our own and exists in the Goldilocks zone where it's not too hot and not too cold for life. The find, announced Thursday, excited planet hunters who have been scouring the Milky Way galaxy for years for potentially habitable places outside our solar system.

March 21, 2014 7:54 am | by Lynn Yarris, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory | News | CommentsFrom super-lubricants, to solar cells, to the fledgling technology of valleytronics, there is much to be excited about with the discovery of a unique new 2-D semiconductor, rhenium disulfide, by researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory's Molecular Foundry. Rhenium disulfide, unlike molybdenum disulfide and other dichalcogenides, behaves electronically as if it were a 2-D monolayer even as a 3-D bulk material.
Making sense of big data
March 13, 2014 12:56 pm | by Wallace Ravven, UC Berkeley | News | CommentsBen Recht, a statistician and electrical engineer at the Univ. of California, Berkeley, looks for problems. He develops mathematical strategies to help researchers, from urban planners to online retailers, cut through blizzards of data to find what they're after. He resists the "needle in the haystack" metaphor for big data because, he says, people usually don't know enough about their data to understand the goal.
Scientists "herd" cells in new approach to tissue engineering
March 12, 2014 8:08 am | by Sarah Yang, Media Relations, UC Berkeley | Videos | CommentsSometimes it only takes a quick jolt of electricity to get a swarm of cells moving in the right direction. Researchers at the Univ. of California, Berkeley found that an electrical current can be used to orchestrate the flow of a group of cells, an achievement that could establish the basis for more controlled forms of tissue engineering.
Colored diamonds are a superconductor's best friend
March 7, 2014 8:02 am | by Robert Sanders, UC Berkeley Media Relations | News | CommentsFlawed but colorful diamonds are among the most sensitive detectors of magnetic fields known today, allowing physicists to explore the minuscule magnetic fields in metals, exotic materials and even human tissue. A team of physicists have now shown that these diamond sensors can measure the tiny magnetic fields in high-temperature superconductors, providing a new tool to probe these much ballyhooed but poorly understood materials.

10 Best Summer Travel Options on Two Wheels
By Jason Notte - 05/02/12 - 8:30 AM EDT
NEW YORK MainStreet -- Hear that roaring and buzzing outside your window? That's every scooter and motorcycle in a five-mile radius telling you summer's here. Gas prices have dropped below $3.90 a gallon and are down from this time last year, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Even if you could get a gallon of gas with pocket change, though, rising temperatures would put two-wheelers on the road. That said, there are some cycles and scooters out there that are clearly ahead of the pack. We took a look at the best the market has to offer and found 10 motorcycles and scooters that cut through beach and mountain traffic more capably than the competition. What we didn't find, however, was a Harley Davidson
Starting price: $20,900
The last six-cylinder motorcycle engine in production boasts 1649ccs and 160 horsepower, but it's the little toys that help this big touring bike earn its price. An adaptive headlight that can peek around corners, electronic suspension adjustment, GPS, Sirius-XM
Starting price: $17,495
The brand of choice for those who lust after a sexy European sport bike, Ducati is unafraid to trim the weight of its standard Diavel below 500 pounds, crank the horsepower up to 162 and take its bike from zero-to-60 in less than three seconds. That fat 240-millimeter rear tire just pushed Ducati out of crotch-rocket superbike territory and into the loving embrace of recreational riders and retirees with a need for more speed than a hog can provide.
Starting price: $12,200
This has all the looks of an A1A South Florida street bike, but 121 horsepower that would be just as much at home on the track. Not the bike you want to try to beat off the line when the light goes green.
This nearly 1000cc standard isn't the most powerful bike in its class or the flashiest, but it's a workhorse with a lot of torque and a really comfortable ride. It's not going to win you an interstate shootout, but it'll get you from Point A to Point B on a sunny summer day in style.
Starting price: $14,800
It turns out the Brits know more than a little about building a highway beast of their own. With 1700ccs, 97 horsepower and a giant steel-horse frame that eschews chrome for a matte black finish, the Thunderbird Storm looks like it could handle a rally in Sturgis just as easily as a summer in Brighton.
Starting price: $11,199
At one time, "Ninja bike" was the genericized trademark for any speedy, candy-painted race bike that buzzed by. The Ninja's grown up a bit since and now lures the more mature rider with its 500-pound frame, 130 horsepower and optional hard saddlebags, top box and heated grips.
Starting price: $11,495
The electric motorcycle or e-bike is still in its infancy, but Zero has come the closest to perfecting its technology. It's only about as punchy as a 150cc to 250cc model (about 30 horsepower with a top speed of 67 mph), but it recharges in any 110- or 220-volt outlet and has a roughly 60-mile range.
Starting price: $3,699
If it looks like a Vespa, it's because the Indian company that partnered with Piaggio build it in the vintage Vespa style and never deviated from the original plan. The 148cc toy cost less than its 150cc Vespa counterpart and boasts nearly 148 miles per gallon while providing the same fun Euro-style ride.
Starting price: $5,400
The Taiwanese scooter maker has built a reputation by putting its European and Japanese competitors to shame. This model continues that trend with a zippy fuel-injected four-stroke engine with 29 horsepower that's as good for getting around the city as it is for short trips on the highway.
Starting price: $11,800
Though a bit costly and ugly for a standard bike, the Speed Triple cranks out 120 horsepower and is a brute compared with competing Hondas

Writer's Guidelines
We're looking for anything that can be described as "feminist response to pop culture." Our definition of pop culture is broad, encompassing cultural attitudes and myths, phenomena of the popular imagination, and social trends as well as movies, TV, magazines, books, advertising, and the like. Interviews with feminist culture-makers are welcome, as are book, film, and music reviews and nuanced analyses of particularly horrifying and/or inspiring examples of pop culture. We do not publish fiction or poetry. Ever. Seriously. Nonfiction essays only, though we do not publish personal essays, experimental lyric essays, or anything that reads like a dissertation. We are looking for discussion-provoking critical essays that are well researched with evidence to back up claims, timely statistics, and connections between one's personal experience and larger social forces. First-person essays are great, but please read our magazine and blog to get a sense of how our contributors strike a happy balance between the personal "I" and the larger subject matter at hand. Finished work and query letters are both welcome. If sending only a query, please include clips and/or writing samples. And hey, everyone likes a nice cover letter. We strongly prefer e-mail submissions. We do not accept pitches over the phone.
More details:
Features are 2,000 to 4,000 words of meaty critiques, essays, and articles on pop culture from a feminist perspective. We're looking for sharp-eyed perspectives on pop culture and the media, brimming with personal insight and wit. Features vary in format: interviews, reported pieces, and critical essays are welcome, as are roundups and graphically driven formats like timelines, charts, and comics. Recent features include an examination of rape jokes as told by female comedians; an analysis of Beyoncé Knowles-Carter's public persona and the response from both feminist and mainstream media; an interview with veteran sex-worker activist Margo St. James; and a comics feature on trans and women comics artists in the industry.
. We also have shorter features for our book, screen, and music sections, each approximately 2200 words. Recent screen, book, and music features have included an interview with filmmaker Wanuri Kahiu; revisiting The Feminist Mystique fifty years later; and an analysis of Tori Amos' unhip fandom.
In addition to features, we're in search of shorter pieces for the front of the magazine. Our front-of-book section features 1500-1800 word columns on film, television, language, activism, advertising, publishing, and more, with pieces taking the form of reviews, critical essays, Q&As, and activist profiles. Past columns brought attention to the links between fatphobia and homophobia, the role of women in the Tea Party movement, and an analysis of Pinterest as a "women's website."
We're always on the lookout for Love It/Shove It items. Love/Shoves are short (under 500 words) but sharp-eyed and cogent analyses of the latest things that either pleased you or enraged you. We're looking for pieces that are timely, and, more importantly, go beyond the sentiment of "Wow, this sucks!" in search of deeper meaning. Love/Shoves are accepted on a rolling basis, and are often printed on our website as well as in the magazine, so send things along whenever the mood strikes. Examples of former "Love-Its" include New Orleans's "Sissy" Bounce music movement, the PMS Cupcake, and the "Not Your Baby" phone app. Some "Shove-Its" took on anti-abortion legislation, faulty 'g-spot' science and Urban Outfitters' appropriation of Navajo culture.
In addition, we have Bitch List items, 100-word pieces highlighting the best of pop culture, whether it's a new DVD box set of I Love Lucy, a labia-shaped skatepark, or a fun, feminist-friendly website. We also feature film, music, and book reviews. If there's a review up your sleeve, pitch it our way (no full draft submissions, please), keeping in mind the magazine's release date and the timeliness of your review. If you're interested in being added to our regular roster of reviewers, contact andi [at] b-word.org with samples.
Payment is $100 for features, $50 for front-of-book pieces, and $25 for Love/Shoves. Please send all materials to [email protected], but if you must use snail mail, include a SASE and reach us at:
attn: Submissions
4930 NE 29th Ave.
Portland, OR 97211.
Illustrator's Guidelines
We're always looking for new illustrators to work with. We commission people with various styles appropriate for each individual article.
Payment is $150 for features (one full page and one spot), $50 for back-of-book reviews features (half page), and $20 for Love/Shove (one spot).
We also accept pitches for our "Adventures in Feministory" back page, where we pay homage to a feminist figure worthy of a whole lotta recognition and love, comic-style. Past "Adventure in Feministory" heroines include Cynthia Heimel, Lucy Gonzalez Parsons, and Joan Rivers (or check out our ongoing blog series). Pitches for this specific feature should be tied to the theme of the issue, and would be developed in conjunction with our art director. Payment for Adventures in Feministory comics is $150.

Themes for the Future Issues
Our themes are intended to be nonexclusive jumping-off points rather than limiting factors, and below we've included a few key words that may help along your fabulous brainstorms. We encourage you not to interpret the themes too literally, and in fact to go ahead and interpret them as loosely as you wish. Furthermore, if you have an idea you think is right for us but that fits no theme, go ahead and pitch it anyway.
Law & Order (#66, Spring 2015)
For this issue, we're looking at systems, power, and the law—not just how they function, but the impact they have on our culture, our pop culture, and vice versa. How much does what we see on screen impact the way we see the criminal justice system? How is the law gendered or sexist? Who controls our media and how are we reclaiming it? But don't let that narrow your focus, we're also looking at systems in a broader sense—the nature of things, power and control, religions, traditions and their impact or consequence for feminists. And yes, we will be covering the eponymous show.
Key Words: systems, justice, legality, consequences, politics, structure, power, control
Pitch Deadline: September 1, 2014
Blue (#67, Summer 2015)
Lest you think this is one of our sadder issues, consider all the other things blue can mean: bawdy, balmy, bright. What does blue mean to you? There are blue planets, blue humor, blue stockings. Whether it's an inspired mood or its influence on pop culture, we want to cover blue in all its iterations, from gendered baby clothes to the depressive heroine trope; waterways as feminist issues to Joni Mitchell's best-known album. It's a versatile color, and we think its content will be too.
Key Words: environment, art, music, moods, color, gender roles, troubles, tranquility
Pitch Deadline: January 5, 2015
*Please familiarize yourself with Bitch magazine's content before pitching.* You can scroll up for pitching guidelines, browse select articles online, or subscribe.
Blogger's Guidelines
Bitch Media is always looking for two types of writing for our blog.
Got a tip? If you have an idea for something we should write about, but don't want to write about it yourself, we're happy to take your suggestions. Send links and blog post suggestions to webeditor[at]bitchmedia.org
Want to write an online article? If you have ideas for just one or two excellent blog posts, send a quick pitch for your one-off post idea to webeditor[at]bitchmedia.org, along with links to writing samples. Bloggers are paid.
For PR Folks
Bitch HQ receives hundreds of review requests each month. This includes authors, artists, and filmmakers. Review requests sent en masse end up in the trash. If you're looking for a genuine review, please be familiar with the publication—we support artists who acknowledge Bitch's mission. For example, bands or musicians up for review should have at least one female or feminist member (we think dude bands get enough attention elsewhere). And as always, a personal query or email is always a nice touch; sincerity is more important than length. Please contact us here.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Ace!
Facts about Ace
- Breed: Australian Shepherd Mix
- Color: Unknown
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Male
Ace's Info...
I am good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
This is Ace, a beautiful Aussie Shepherd mix. He has a wonderful personality, despite being a little on the shy side. He loves playing with the other puppies. He is about 10 weeks old, current on his vaccinations and will be neutered prior to his adoption. Approx date of birth 12/1/12
Other Pets at Copiah Animal Shelter, Inc
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Ace, a Crystal Springs Australian Shepherd puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Australian Shepherd for sale in Crystal Springs, or seeking a Australian Shepherd puppy from a breeder in Crystal Springs.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Crystal Springs already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Crystal Springs breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Australian Shepherd breeders who help with Australian Shepherd rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Crystal Springs paves the way for another one to be saved.

If it works for the gang at Discovery Channel (the actual TV company, not the former cycling team), then it's good enough for us here at PEZ. Since we're on the off-season theme, Josh has decided to tackle some of his pet peeve off-season training myths and give his perspective. The truth or old-school bahooey? Read and decide for yourself.
All too frequently in Los Angeles, and I'm sure in every city around the world, tempers flare up between cyclists and motorists and even police. Recently in Los Angeles there have been a few car vs. cyclist incidents and even a potential cop car vs. cyclist vehicular homicide.
Sprinters are a special breed, whether they're track sprinters like Chris Hoy or road sprinters like Cavendish and Kittel. Some feel that they're born sprinters or not, and there is a bit of truth to that. However, sprinting is also important to train no matter what your natural racing style, because the truth is that most races end up in small or large groups dashing for the line. What are some ways to improve your sprint to increase your odds of podium placings?
Preparation is important in any sport but especially in cycling. With so many uncontrollable variables in this sport, anything you can do to control what can be controlled will improve your chance at success, however you may define it. Let's look at a key part of good preparation today that could completely transform your perfromance - good mental preparation.
You've seen a thousand articles on proper warm up technique for cycling. In nearly 20 years of racing I can count the number of times I achieved a full and proper warm up before an event on two or three hands. This article aims to teach you how not to warm up or more specifically, how to not need to warm up.
I've participated in this sport for more than two decades and with every passing year, I became more and more precise with my training. Although there are elements of discipline in precision, it is not the same thing.
Why spend months preparing for an event when all you really need is a few weeks? The reason unfortunately is that it takes more than 3 weeks to create significant fitness improvements, but what if you don't have months? Can any positive change be made in a shorter period of time and if so, what is the shortest possible time frame?
Marketing and advertising has been honed into an incredibly precise science through both trial and error along with psychological studies into what makes us tick. Why not use it to our advantage and adapt marketing ideas to make us better cyclists?
Throughout my racing career I was always looking to add a visual, tangible element to my mental training program. I would listen to The Ultimate Cyclist hypnosis CD and repeat affirmations but I never figured out a method for reinforcing those positive audio suggestions with visual and tactile stimulation.
The expulsion of 8 badminton players from the Olympics this week caused a bit of controversy in the sports world so I thought I'd look at it from a cycling perspective. My opinion and apparently the opinion of my sport is that strategy goes deeper than just an individual game or race. It's like chess. It's all about sacrificing at a lower level in order to achieve a greater victory.
While I was racing I did some crazy mental training. Hours upon hours of affirmations. Up Topanga Canyon, down Tuna, up Latigo, down Kanan Dune, up the PCH, up Mulholland, down Encinal and finally back through Malibu, Santa Monica, Venice and finishing on the Ballona Creek bike path into Culver City. All the time listening to tracks off The Ultimate Cyclist CD and repeating the affirmations to myself out loud and with conviction.
Last weekend at the team's winter training camp, we hosted Wonderful Pistachios employees for a weekend of skills clinics and training. It was an exciting weekend with some great riding and bonding and everyone left in high spirits, motivated to ride more and become better all around cyclists. The problem with these camps is that in the weeks after it is over, a lot of the adrenaline and excitement wears off and the whole thing fades to a distant memory.
On Saturday night my wife and I went to the wedding of my long time friend and teammate Stuart Press. Stu and I started riding together back in '98 when I first move out to LA on and he sat us at a table with our old friends, Marco Fantone, Aaron Gadhia and Matias Mendigochea, all from that original squad. We had been cat 4s 12 years ago when we started racing and this year, after Stu's mid-season upgrade we had finally all achieved the rank of category 1.
One of the big buzzwords in psychology in recent years is the concept of "resilience," the ability to be flexible and adjust to new situations on the sports field or in the game of life itself. That same resilience and flexibility applies to race strategy and both team and individual tactics within a race.
I learned a lot from the sport of cycling but the greatest lesson didn't come until after I stopped racing last August. It was actually in the team van on the way back from the 2010 Tour of Utah that it happened. I gained something that had eluded me for my entire 23-year racing career - I gained perspective.
This weekend I watched a few minutes of the Triathlon World Championship Series on the Universal Sports Network. I sometimes like to watch these draft legal events because frankly they crack me up. It also makes me reflect on different skills and drills to improve bike handling for everyone who rides a bike.
Sprinters are a special breed, whether they're track sprinters like Chris Hoy or road sprinters like Cavendish and Cippolini. Some feel that they're born sprinters or not, and there is a bit of truth to that. However, sprinting is also important to train no matter what your natural racing style, because the truth is that most races end up in small or large groups dashing for the line. What are some ways to improve your sprint to increase your odds of podium placings?
So you want to be a pro? You've logged the miles, you've done the training, and you've read every Toolbox article ever written. So how do you take that final step towards a pro license? What separates a good cat 1 from a continental pro? Ultimately, it's up to a team director like myself to make that decision.
This article was originally intended it to be a straight ahead supplement recommendation. Sort of a top 10 list of the most highly recommended supplements for cyclists. In order to create that list I went to see Dr. David Allen one of the leading doctors in the field of alternative and integrative medicine. However, after talking to Allen I realized that this topic was not as simple as I had thought. Supplementation is unique to each athlete and what works for one person might not work for another.

Salt Lake City, Utah (ABC 4 News)- Today ABC 4 got a Backstage pass to the Capitol Theater to see what it takes to be the Giant Green Ogre we have all gotten to know as sherk.
The show kicked off in downtown Tuesday and it's no easy task. It takes actor Perry Sook about two hours to get ready for his starring role. Artists use seven pounds of makeup and a 65-pound costume to convert the normal sized, blue eyed blonde. He says it's worth it to play such a fun character.
The musical is based on the Oscar winning dream works film. It's about a swam-dwelling ogre who goes on a life changing adventure to reclaim the deed to his land.

Hope anybody can offer some suggestions here. I'm in southern DE, btw.
I just moved into a very small house with no basement, garage or shed. I do have a screened-in porch, but it's basically open to the elements. I have practically no space to overwinter anything in my house. Is there a way to overwinter tender potted/container-grown plants (e.g. agapanthus) outside? Perhaps wrap or mulch them somehow and place them along a south-facing outside wall? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Put it on the porch to dry out and go dormant, then put it in a closet. It will wake up in spring when you set it out again and start watering it. I overwinter 4 huge pots of agapanthus in the cellar each year to save room in the greenhouse for the agaves! The leaves yellow and then brown by spring and I just chop them off to make room for new growth. They bloom really well with this treatment too. |

The 2009 season saw its share of surprises. From unranked Cincinnati transforming into a national title contender or Ndamukong Suh becoming a Heisman candidate, the message for the postseason is clear: Expect the unexpected, writes Pat Forde. Story
• Maisel: Alabama and Texas at home
• Wojciechowski: BCS questions
• Schlabach: TCU out to prove itself
Mountain West champion TCU (12-0) earned an automatic bid to break into the BCS for the first time in school history.
Western Athletic Conference champ Boise State (13-0) became the first team from a non-automatic qualifying conference to receive an at-large bid.
"We think it's a matchup that's credible," Fiesta Bowl CEO John Junker said. "If there was a glass ceiling, we think we've taken a chunk out of it."
The Horned Frogs and Broncos played in the Poinsettia Bowl last season. TCU won 17-16 to hand Boise State its only loss of the season.
This time, the so-called little guys will move their tussle to the big stage -- and Junker said the Fiesta didn't mind staging a rematch, which he said got a thumbs-up from TV partner Fox.
"We're not the NFL," he said. "There's new players, new stories, new energy. These are two teams that have been atop the rankings all year long, and we're very excited for a chance to match them."

• BCS Title Game: Alabama takes on Texas, Jan 7. at 8 p.m. ET (ABC)
• Fiesta Bowl: TCU takes on Boise State, Jan 4. at 8 p.m. ET (Fox)
• Sugar Bowl: Florida takes on Cincinnati, Jan 1. at 8:30 p.m. ET (Fox)
• Rose Bowl: Ohio State takes on Oregon, Jan 1. at 4:30 p.m. ET (ABC)
• Orange Bowl: Iowa takes on Georgia Tech, Jan 5. at 8 p.m. ET (Fox)
They might want to roll back the roof at Glendale's University of Phoenix Stadium on Jan. 4, because the game should provide plenty of offensive fireworks.
Boise State has the nation's highest-scoring attack, averaging 44.1 points per game. TCU ranks fourth at 40.7 points per game.
For a few hours on Saturday night, it looked as if the Horned Frogs might slip into the BCS title game. No. 3 Texas found itself in a protracted defensive struggle with No. 21 Nebraska in the Big 12 playoff, and a Longhorns loss may have cleared the way for TCU to become the first school from a non-automatic qualifying conference to play for the national title.
But Texas pulled out a 13-12 victory, stunning the Cornhuskers and TCU coach Gary Patterson.
"I had to walk outside. ... I didn't even say anything," Patterson said. "I got up. ... I walked out in my bare feet, walked down the street, it was cold and I didn't even feel it. What else was I going to do. I had the same feeling when Utah scored at the end of the game a year ago (a 13-10 Frogs loss while Utah went on to be BCS buster). You get so close, but yet you're so far away."
It might not have mattered because unbeaten Cincinnati finished ahead of TCU in the final standings anyway.
The Horned Frogs, 12-0 for the first time, will settle for a trip to the desert for their BCS debut.
Patterson told his team it can still play for The Associated Press national championship. It's a long shot, because the Horned Frogs are third in the latest AP Top 25, behind Texas and Alabama, which are meeting in the BCS title game.
"That's what I told them, I said our whole deal is we're going to have to show the nation in this next bowl game that we belong, that we're one of the top two teams in the nation," Patterson said. "You can still win the AP, so that's what our whole goal is within the next month, to try to get ourself against a very good opponent, which is going to be hard to do anyway because they're a very good opponent."
TCU chews up 265.5 yards rushing, fifth nationally. Quarterback Andy Dalton ranks fourth nationally in passing efficiency, with 22 TDs and only five interceptions in 279 pass attempts.
Boise State players, parents and fans gathered in the new press box at Bronco Stadium to watch the bowl selection show.
The crowd erupted when the pairing was announced. But moments later, the crowd reacted with much less enthusiasm when TCU was announced as the Broncos' foe. Bronco fans had been hoping for a matchup with a Big Ten team like Iowa or Penn State.
Boise State coach Chris Petersen said he wasn't disappointed to face the Frogs.
"We got what we wanted," Petersen said. "We're playing a great opponent. With tough opponents there is great opportunity.
"I just think there is so much respect out there for TCU," Petersen said. "People say they should be playing in the national championship game. Maybe they should. I think that just adds to the excitement for us."
The Broncos will make their second Fiesta Bowl appearance in four years. Most fans distinctly recall their first trip.
In January 2007, the eighth-ranked Broncos used a passel of trick plays to stun 10th-ranked Oklahoma in a game still regarded as one of the great bowls in college football history. Afterward, tailback Ian Johnson proposed to his cheerleader girlfriend, giving the Fiesta Bowl an indelible image of the underdog-as-conqueror.
The Broncos are led by quarterback Kellen Moore, the nation's top-rated passer.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Archie!
Facts about Archie
- Breed: Pit Bull Terrier/Labrador Retriever Mix
- Color: Black - With Gray Or Silver
- Age: Adult
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Archie's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and not good with cats.
Archie is a smart playful male Pittie at 7 yrs old. He desperately needs a home. Archie walks well on a leash and knows all commands including how to run an agility course! He's a fast learner and is ready after a long time spent in the shelter to find a forever home who can give him a great deal of attention and care. He likes non dominant female dogs and is great with kids, but we do not recommend him for a home with cats.
Other Pets at C & H Animal Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Archie, a selden Pit Bull Terrier/Labrador Retriever dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Pit Bull Terrier/Labrador Retriever for sale in selden, or seeking a Pit Bull Terrier/Labrador Retriever dog from a breeder in selden.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in selden already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a selden breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Pit Bull Terrier/Labrador Retriever breeders who help with Pit Bull Terrier/Labrador Retriever rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in selden paves the way for another one to be saved.

What was somewhat surprising, however, was the reaction of those waiting in these long lines, eager perhaps to get in and hear the not-so-family-friendly performance by Cee Lo Green, or to eat a monstrous funnel cake that would seemingly have one's arteries cowering in fear.
Those asked by local news reporters how they felt about the delays resulting from the security checks did not express frustration or disapproval, but rather were overwhelmingly supportive and relieved at the new measures. The bombing at the Boston Marathon is still very fresh in Americans' memories, not to mention what seem like weekly shooting rampages across the country, and the ever-present fear of a terrorist attack that has dominated foreign and domestic policy since September 2001.
The concert-goers' support of extra security measures is not a far cry from my own. Perhaps I am the one person who approves of the overly intimate pat down in an airport, as I beadily inspect the security officer at the X-ray conveyor belt to ensure he is watching the screen scrupulously. But something tells me most of us feel that way nowadays and, without doubt, we have gladly accepted increased infringement on our personal liberties in exchange for safety.
Yet there is no way to be truly free and at the same time truly safe. The coexistence of total freedom and total security is a notion paradoxical by nature, resulting in our very need for government at all. That is the idea behind Thomas Hobbes' "Social Contract Theory," whereby we gladly submit some of our freedom in return for state-issued security and order. What results is an attempt to maintain a delicate balance of the two. We largely trust the government to keep us safe, as long as it is done within the parameters of the Constitution and does not fundamentally change what it means to be an American.
With that in mind, how far is too far in the attempt to keep us safe? I am willing to endure heavy petting in an airport security line if it gives me peace of mind on a plane, but how should I feel about the government having access to every phone call, Google search or social media interaction I make on a daily basis? Is this a largely innocuous move that ultimately has my best interests at heart? Or should such a step be considered blatant overreach by the government that violates the very freedom the leaders of this country are claiming to be protecting?
Unfortunately, I may have read too much George Orwell to have an unbiased opinion on the current scandal involving the National Security Agency. The act of potentially wire-tapping my phone calls does not give me great cause for concern. As far as I'm aware, I don't have anything to hide from the government, although I am quick to correct people who say that I teach "Terrorism," suggesting "Terrorism Studies" is more appropriate and less likely to land me in Gitmo.
But perhaps what has me and most others concerned is the gradual expansion of Executive and Congressional authority that has resulted from the 9/11 attacks. The PATRIOT Act gave the government all but total freedom to spy on, investigate and prosecute any individual thought to be a threat to national security. The broad and vague definition of terrorism may appear a hindrance in the battle to eradicate it, but it also gives the government virtual carte blanche in not only foreign policy, but domestic as well. The escalation of this authority has led to the unjustified invasion of Iraq, a drone strike program that violates international law and the staggering existence to this day of such detention facilities as Guantanamo Bay.
Like these previous acts of government, the accessing of phone records and the widespread monitoring of Internet activity by the NSA makes me uneasy. Clearly, I am not alone in this sentiment, as this story continues to dominate news headlines.
In all fairness, we should have been tipped off that something fishy was going on when Republicans in Congress actually showed support for an act of the Obama administration. That should strike anyone as odd. Perhaps this show of bipartisanship is the one positive to take away from this whole debacle.
Meanwhile, for all the promises of change and redirection in the early days of his presidency, Mr. Obama continues to look more and more like the reincarnation of George W. Bush when it comes to security policy. Perhaps this should not be a huge shock — presidents tend to differ much more over social and economic issues than security and foreign policy. Yet nothing about President Obama's early rhetoric indicated that he would expand the drone program, fail to close Guantanamo Bay or promote heightened monitoring of Americans' lives through such programs as "PRISM." In fact, it was quite the opposite.
To suggest that the government should not have secrets is incorrect, and arguing that violating my privacy is wrong may be naïve since I have not experienced the alternative to such security firsthand. In fact, it is impossible to say just how much better my life has been with invasive security measures in place.
Yet I can't help but feel that continuation down this path can lead to nothing but trouble. The Orwellian in me foresees the slippery slope of government power and the potential return of Leviathan-esque authority.
And at the end of the day, this is ultimately a victory for the enemies of America who seek to challenge the very way of life that is now being eroded by the government's own security policy.

- Memorial for fallen cyclist Harold Donald Bilodeau Thursday 10 September 2009, 7:00pm at Bloor/Spadina*
Advocacy For Respect For Cyclists (ARC) will hold a memorial for Harold Donald Bilodeau, 66 years old, cyclist killed at Spadina and Nassau after a collision with a streetcar when turning left across its path, and following many days in the hospital. Bilodeau is the third Toronto cyclist to be killed in one month.
What happened to Bilodeau could happen to any cyclist. Ron Freeman, a former Toronto bike messenger, commented on the complicated and confusing traffic signal design at this intersection: ŌĆ£…even the most patient and law abiding … yet unsuspecting… cyclist can EASILY omit the relatively quiet, fast-moving southbound streetcar from the traffic mix and succumb to the urge to get over the rails fast… I urge you to go there and experience it yourself… watch the 'transit' signal which flashes green or red to the streetcar operator…. then observe how the 'u-turn' or 'left turn' signal operates…ŌĆØ
ARC holds memorials for cyclists killed on the roads of Toronto. We do not make judgment about the whys and wherefores: we recognise that with the advantages of cycling come certain dangers, not least from the larger machines we ride among. We recognize that as cyclists we have to take special care in an ecology geared toward granting priority to the passage of motorised vehicles.
At the same time, we recognise that at the intersection of Spadina and Nassau, like many other signalised intersections in the city, cyclists are often left to sort their own way through the cracks: pedestrians have buttons to push to give them right of passage; cars have magnetic coils in the road that are activated by the hulk of metal when the car passes above; streetcars have special electronic activators that keep a light green ahead to allow passage.
Bicycle riders need the same level of attention from the planners of city transportation and infrastructure. ARC calls on the city to pay attention to this serious lack of planning around the needs of cyclists, not least as a tribute to the memory of cyclists like Harold Donald Bilodeau.
Memorial date and time: Meet Thursday Sept 10 at 7 pm, parkette at the corner of Spadina and Bloor, for a brief ride south to the crash site, departing by 7:15.

Sprott Update
(May 3rd, 2011)
- any sale of PSLV has gone into physical silver or silver equities
- believes a group of traders is trying to work the silver price down, especially this past Sunday night.
- he DOES NOT think silver has hit a high
- said gold should approach $1600 soon and with a 16:1 ratio he still believes silver can go to $100/oz
- Sprott says he was definitely playing the arbitrage on PSLV vs physical silver
- the quantities of PSLV traded where very small compared to their overall silver exposure.
- Sprott physical silver exposure is the highest it's ever been
- believes it's possible the current drop in silver may have been orchestrated for last silver shorts that need to cover.
- he suspects that after this silver price drop it could run back up again to where it left off.
- very little doubt that silver will go over $100/oz

An Eminent Victorian: Jaime Jiménez and Quinn Pofahls Southampton House
A stylish couple bring the party spirit back to a storied Shingle-style house in the village of Southampton, New York
By Kate Betts
When Quinn Pofahl and Jaime Jiménez bought their 1885 Southampton home three years ago, one of the first things they did was saw off the top of one of the Victorian newels to see if the original architectural plans were inside. I heard that they stored the plans to these houses in the hollowed-out post, says Pofahl. It turns out thats not true. After decapitating the ornate structure, the only thing Pofahl discovered was a bit of debunked Victorian architectural folklore.
There would be many more stories to unearth during the yearlong renovation of the house, which is in the heart of the villagean ideal spot from which to view the towns popular Fourth of July parade. During one parade, they were sitting in the front yard when a man approached them and said he had grown up in the housewhich had been in his family for nearly 100 yearsand regaled them with stories about secret Prohibition-era cubbyholes. Whats more, well- known luminaries had stayed there, including Truman Capote, who wrote his last book, Music for Chameleons, on the third floor, and Andy Warhol, who was a frequent guest of the houses second owner.

Vanderbilt University is holding a campus meeting Tuesday night over its requirement that Christian student groups comply with its non-discrimination policy. According to the policy, any student must be able to seek leadership positions in campus-approved organizations. Christian groups like InterVarsity Christian Fellowship say the policy violates their right to be led by fellow believers who share their views.
"We love the university environment, and we welcome all students and faculty into our chapter activities at Vanderbilt," Jim Lundgren, senior vice president and director of Collegiate Ministries for InterVarsity Christian Fellowship/USA, said in a letter.
"However, it is essential that InterVarsity student leaders be committed Christians who understand their faith as they seek to lead their peers," he added. "No organization of any kind can survive without leaders committed to its basic beliefs."
Intervarsity Christian Fellowship is asking for prayer "in support of religious freedom at Vanderbilt."
Meanwhile, Vanderbilt has placed Intervarsity Christian Fellowship, along with three other campus faith groups, on provisional status until they comply with the school's policy.
