Feathers & Fur: Volume 1 - Issue 1
Feathers & Fur - S/S 09 - Volume 1 - Issue 1 Bryn Mawr and Haverford Colleges
SPRING 2009 FEATHERS & FUR volume one, issue one UT $4.50 ET $5.00 00 00000 0000 Aliquis 8, 2008 LETTER FROM THE EDITORS Feathers & Fur is the first and only guide to style in the Bi-Co. As students of Bryn Mawr and Haverford Colleges, we came together with the common goal of bringing the big world of fashion to our small suburban community. Inspired by current trends, bi-college style and local stores, Feathers & Fur is the culmination of our interest in the industry. At liberal arts colleges like our own, daily fashion is not always on the top of our to-do lists. Luckily, we are surrounded by creative individuals with unique styles and edgy clothing, and we took it upon ourselves to feature it. In our very first issue, we feature on-campus street fashion, updates on the lives of alumni working in the field and new ways to spice up our college gear. We include a staff profile and highlights of local boutiques on the Main Line. One of our most beloved accomplishments is shooting four fashion spreads featuring our fellow students as models. We hope to inspire you to be fearless and decide to put on that extra something before you leave for class. We would like to thank everyone who helped us with this endeavor, including models, professors, the Bi-College News, Jason McGraw, James Weissinger, the local community and everyone else who supported us along the way.

Ballet classes used to have a mandatory dress code: pink shoes, pink tights, black leotard and a skirt that ties directly around your waist so your teacher can tell when you're not "engaging your core." But dance evolved and grew into new forms. Jazz, lyrical, contemporary, modern, hip hop, interpretive, whatever. With those new dance forms came a new way of expression, not only in the movements but also in what the dancers wore. "At first I really didn't care what I wore," says Bryn Mawr sophomore Alex Kaplan. "But all of the sudden there was this whole etiquette: rip your tights at your ankles, wear your dance sweater a certain way, there was something you did with the leg warmers." Fashion in dance classes can be influenced by the other dancers' trends, and to stay hip and look fresh, you gotta jet� onto the bandwagon. Bryn Mawr freshman Aliza Rothstein had similar experiences in her dance classes. "The cool thing was to have a leotard with a cool pattern on the back," she says. "Seriously, all my friends would do that and we'd show them off like, `Check out this one!'" Written and photographed by Elizabeth Svokos "I started cutting the necks off t-shirts," Kaplan says. "I picked it up from Israeli dancers I danced with. It was a lot more comfortable to dance in and it just looked sweet." Inspiration can also be drawn from where you dance. Darcy Kottler, a Bryn Mawr College sophomore, takes dance classes in New York City during the summer. "It was ballet with an urban edge," she says. "New York style street wear translated over to the dance classes. In the open classes you'd have professional dancers with ribbons in their hair, and other people would just walk in from the street in their street clothes." Street style in dance classes became more prevalent as new varieties of dancing emerged. Myra Bazell, dance teacher at Bryn Mawr and life-long dancer, trained during the early roots of hiphop. "We started to be able to wear anything we wanted, it was the fashion of performance," she says. She wore flared pants when she trained in jazz during the `70s and flared skirts when she studied flamenco in her teens. Soon her style on the dance floor began to permeate her everyday style. "My mom was a costume designer, so that shaped fashion for me." Like dance, Bazell saw fashion as "a way of communicating." "Having the freedom to be sensual and shape-shift plays into how you dress," she says. But ballet is a different story. The body must be shown off, and street pants will cover that killer turn out. "Ballet is more refined," says Kottler. "There's an emphasis on creating lines that are aesthetically pleasing. I was trained to wear a skirt so you can see the waistline." Tights, a perfectly fitted skirt and a plain leotard work together to highlight the dancer's body as it stretches and turns and jumps and bends in that perfect and polished technique. "Leotards, in my opinion, are attractive," Kottler laughs. "They just make me feel prettier." From first to fifth position, dancers have got style covered. Some dances require certain outfits, and others inspire fashion. (How many of you have ballet flats in your closet?) Dance is expression through movement but as Myra believes, "it's all about enjoying the freedom of dress." 4 HAVERLust Lunt & Laundry GODDESS Jacket, Free People. Top, vintage.

Written and photographed by Darren White make an instant and timeless statement. All of these clothes are designed by a man who is clearly a New York transplant. Tall, witty and with an unmistakable accent, Frank Agostino makes it very clear what his clothes are about. "I design for every woman," he says. "I like feminine clothes, and I like soft clothes. And they're the most difficult to make. It has to be feminine and elegant." Elegant is without question an elemental thread to Agostino's work. He does ready-to-wear collections each season but also does couture creations for his clients. From gowns for benefit dinners to power suits for his working women, Frank Agostino is the go-to guy for Main Line women looking for that certain something to make them feel special � at the best friend's wedding or at the all-important boardroom meeting. Agostino has over 20 years of experience doing both made-to-measure gowns and wholesale ready-to-wear for major stores. After leaving New York City for Philadelphia, Agostino got his start on the Main Line working as a buyer for a major department store merchandising contemporary sportswear throughout the `80s. After tiring of retail, he opened his own showroom in New York City, doing runway presentations during New York Fashion Week and selling wholesale to stores across the country. But as a young designer working independently in the city, fashion was not easy. "As a small company, a new designer, the abuse that the stores put us through was really just not worth it...just obscene things," he says about his experience creating clothes during the decade of decadence. From chargeback to stocking issues, it was a classic case of independent fashion's David taking on the retail giant's Goliath. Agostino would soon close the doors to his New York showroom, but that would not stop him from serving his customers. His clients kept requesting couture dresses for special occasions and suits for work, and before long, he was presenting ready-to-wear collections again, but his time, he was in Philadelphia. To save himself from the cost of doing a seasonal show, he decided to open his store, which was originally in Ardmore. The original Ardmore store did double A stand out from Agostino's line. One step into Agostino and a woman feels like she's finally arrived. The cream walls, the fine art, beautiful lighting from picture windows, two decadent crystal chandeliers (a holiday season window treatment that has luckily stayed in place) � these decorative elements just ooze with sophisticated, modern romance. And unsurprisingly, native New Yorker Frank Agostino's clothes do exactly the same thing. From black shifts with French lace insets to a tiered satin organza biascut cocktail dress that falls with the lightness of a feather in mid-air, these are cocktail dresses that in today's world of fast fashion. He's one of a few designers to construct in-house, and as some of the best design talent in New York ship their patterns out to other countries and factories to be produced, the craftsmanship of dressmaking is slipping away as the world's best couturiers die out, in the case of Yves Saint Laurent, or retire, like Valentino. "We don't have in our society today the design skills that enable talented young people to construct something," says Agostino. He sees this happening yearly as a lecturer and guest critic for fashion programs at Moore College of Art, Philadelphia University and Drexel University. "I see a lot of talented young [designers], but unless young people realize that they have to know construction and how to put together things and be able to train people to do it, it's gonna be a lost art." Even our first lady isn't immune to Handmade Parisian necklace designed and manufactured the loss of the craft of dressmaking.

One of Agostino's favorites is a pleated silk taffeta red bubble dress that moves like water and feels incredibly light, despite the heavy detail and dense fabrication. Another highlight is a dress with a crewneck bodice of the softest cashmere with a golden taffeta skirt. The handcrafted pieces in the store are almost overwhelming in their beauty and internationalism � handsewn lace from Paris, knitted eyelet from Italy and fabrics from across the globe scream ageless glamour. The store also has handcrafted jewelry from Paris, India and local designers that is made exclusively for the boutique. The same goes for the handbags, most of which are made from antique frames and luxury animal skins, like python and ostrich, by Agostino's wife.

Written and photographed by Darren White The first time I took serious notice of Petunia's Consignment Boutique, a little gem on Ardmore Avenue, was on a late afternoon trip to Suburban Square to buy a new pair of pants. As I turned my head away from the burgeoning midday traffic coming off of Lancaster Avenue, two things caught my eye. The first: a huge sign that said "CONSIGNERS WANTED." The second: a pair of stunning black leather and wood Chlo� wedges from the spring 2006 collection, the last collection before the legendary Phoebe Philo left the company and left the brand in a rut that it has yet to emerge from. When I finally entered the store in early April, all of my senses were tended to. The lighting was soft and glowing, Eric Clapton was coming out of the speakers, the store smelled of fresh flowers and the first thing that struck me was a nearly new Mulberry Bayswater handbag in a brown leather patchwork. "I'm very particular when I call Petunia's a boutique," says store owner Lauren Handel, "because that's really my vision for it. I think that I have been successful at accomplishing that here. It's certainly not a thrift shop." You'll never find Mulberry at the Goodwill. That's a guarantee. Born and raised in Elkins Park, a suburb of Philadelphia, Lauren Handel has made her first retail 27 Lauren Handel, owner of Petunia's. location a must-see destination for any lady looking for an original, high-end designer piece at a fraction of the original cost. Unlike many consignment shops in the area, the pieces in Petunia's are new or barely used. With local shops getting rid of unsold items as consigners and some of the best-dressed women on the Main Line getting rid of things they've worn only a few times, Handel has handpicked each item in the store herself, enabling her to give each customer a personalized experience. All of the puzzle pieces have fit together to create a boutique that has been selling successfully since its opening in November 2008, despite the current economic crunch. But Petunia's is a late, triumphant chapter in a life that reads like an epic novel. Before stepping into the world of retail, Handel started her adult life as a psychotherapist in Southern California. She found her work rewarding but desired to be closer to the people she helped. "If someone had a success and they came to share that with me, my most natural inclination would be to throw my arms around them and scream `Yay for you!'" says Handel. "But as a therapist you can't touch." Handel longed for what she calls "a more holistic approach" to working with people and soon left her job and SoCal to return to Pennsylvania, a move that was a lot easier than one might think. "The quality of life is much richer, more delicious and more substantial than it was out in California," Handel says. "And I loved California." Upon her return to the east coast, Handel bounced between a number of jobs that she loved dearly and equally, from being a life coach by phone to an international clientele, to working as a marketing director for the prestigious Pine Hill Golf Club in New Jersey. She dropped the job at Pine Hill after three years, baffling many of the people around her. But she dropped the position to pursue a new opportunity with her brother that would finally indulge her love of fashion. "He was riding in the back of a cab down Fifth Avenue several years ago. And he looked out at the city sidewalk and saw all of these beautifully dressed women walking along the sidewalk wearing sneakers and thought, `Oh man, there has to be a much more attractive solution than that.'" With her brother handling the technical details and Handel handling the aesthetics, Lauren Handel began her short-lived career as a shoe designer for Camileon Heels�, the first ever line of designer adjustable high heels. The brand received press from all over, including Shape magazine and the Today Show. And the brand was even featured in Time's "Best Inventions of the Year" in 2007. But complications soon caused the brand to be shelved at the height of its success, leaving Handel at a crossroads. "The thought of going back to work for someone again... I couldn't do it. And so I knew that I need to find a way to create my density or destiny, whichever would come first." A new chapter in Handel's page-turner of an existence would start after waking up one September morning, knowing exactly what she wanted to do with her life. Two weeks later, she moved into her location on Ardmore Avenue. "I wanted women to feel like they were walking into a full retail location, but to be able to enjoy the fashion and the accessories at a third of what it would normally cost them," Handel says. "I wanted them to know that you can explore and discover new ways of expressing yourself through fashion and not have it cost you an arm and a leg." And that's what she's delivering to women. The well-furnished boutique is filled for women young and old. From short party dresses to great handbags, you'll find something that will leave you speechless. "I never, ever want a woman walking out of this store with something she doesn't feel great in. I want women to feel a little bit more," she pauses and contemplates, "delicious." How can a woman not feel great in a brand new, emerald green dress by Catherine Malandrino that's marked down by two-thirds? Other standouts include a new silver sequined mini-dress by Alice & Olivia cut by almost $300, a BCBG Max Azria dress that resembles chainmail and a summery green Nanette Lepore halter dress. Accessories are another draw for customers. A pair of Ferragamo flats will surely be irresistible to most customers. Handel is also skilled at pulling in some great bags from Juicy Couture, Prada and Louis Vuitton. The ice blue Marc Jacobs handbag is sure to go quickly. "This is my field of dreams," Handel says. "I always had the sense that if I built it they would come." With a stick this fresh, the real job will be in keeping people out of the store at closing time. on the prowl Caroline Connelly BMC `10 Dylan Gasperik HC `09 Katie Shetterly BMC `10 Hilary Schwartz HC `12 Andrew Wee HC `11 Jenine Abbassi HC `12 campus fashion simple & chic Summer 2009 ushers in comfort in the form of slouchy pocket tees, the boyfriend jean and sleek white denim.

Model Danielle Simpson Styled by Rachel Oliner & Darren White Makeup by Rachel Oliner 38 David Sedley Economist of Pleasure Interview conducted by Rachel Oliner David Sedley, a French and English professor at Haverford, can add another hole to his belt: fashion extraordinaire. Sedley, a self-described "dandy," is meticulous about his outward portrayal, even matching his blazer's pinstripes to his silk pocket squares. Daring as he is with his fashion sense, Sedley manages to encapsulate the notion of old-school professionalism. He never falters in his fashion choices, creating a great look with berets, colorful ascots and clean-lined suits. To those signed up for his classes next semester, make sure to sneak a peek at his cuff links and his color-coordinating skills. How would you describe your style? One description that would apply is "retro." My fascination started when I discovered the clothes pictured in my grandmother's photo albums and then the ones hanging in her attic. "I got the sense that it was decadent, selfish, unrighteous to pay attention to clothing because what you should really be paying attention to `is the soul.'" Who do you dress for? I dress because I like it, period. I tend to like colors that are sort of fun and a little flamboyant. One can get into all kinds of thoughts about what one's philosophy of fashion is, such as, "Oh, I need to express my creativity." I do think there is an economy of pleasure that goes on with fashion. When you dress, it is a very selfcentered thing where you do it to please yourself, but you're also in a way doing it for other people who can appreciate it. If you could own one piece of clothing, what would it be and why? I would like to have a bespoke suit from Saville Row [a street in central London famous for its bespoke tailoring, which creates a suit from scratch]. I would like that experience of having a piece of clothing built from the ground up. It's not made to measure, it's bespoke. You go in not just for one fitting, you go in for many fittings; it's a long arduous process that for me would be fun, too. Who are your favorite designers? It depends on years. Some years you walk into Prada and everything looks great; other times, you wonder on what planet the stuff is supposed to be worn. I like Etro and Paul Smith, both of which follow more or less the dandy tradition. You know, the old stand-bys are things like J. Press. I'll buy a jacket from J. Press and wear it every week for ten years, it's fantastic. There's an English brand called Hackett that makes corduroy suits that suit my version of the professor concept. Thrifting is definitely part of the look, part of the fun, and part of what's necessary for me as a professor with tastes beyond what I can afford. Slowly one can collect pieces that one has for years and years. What do you think about fashion on Haverford's campus? When I got here, I had a lot of people say, "Why are you wearing a tie? What's with the jacket?" I got the sense that it was decadent, selfish, unrighteous to pay attention to clothing because what you should really be paying attention to "is the soul." Clothes are the outward signs of one's soul if you want to put it that way, at least that's what people in the Renaissance thought. People say appearances aren't important, but that's BS. Ideas are always packaged through the senses. I definitely see some fashion here. At Bryn Mawr, I have always sensed sartorial creativity, and at Haverford Photograph by Darren White I see more of it than before. Compared to ten years ago, there's more room for people who march to their own beat a little bit. People should do what they want, I don't care whether people dress well or not, whatever that means; I think people should feel okay making a concerted effort to create a look. Or not - of course, so long as they realize that not creating a look is also creating a look. 40 wednesday night lights 41 Photographs by Elizabeth Svokos & Darren White Stole, handmade.

Model Pinky Farnum Styled by Rachel Oliner, Juliana Reyes, Simran Singh, Elizabeth Svokos & Darren White Makeup by Rachel Oliner PICTURING A MODEL LIFE Charlie Rubin: from Haverford to High Fashion By Juliana Reyes 49 Photographs by Charlie Rubin ers, filling the room with a slight rasp and pumping bass. Solo cups filled with cheap beer lined the periphery of the cluttered common room table, ping pong balls bouncing off their rims. Charlie Rubin squinted through the viewfinder of his 35mm camera, striving to capture the night with one flash. "What was really fun about Charlie was that his photographs were a view into his life," said Rebecca Robertson, who taught Rubin in her Color Photography class at Haverford in the spring of 2008. "He was reserved in class but you got to see hints of this other part of him." Now Rubin squints through the viewfinder of his 35mm on the roof of the Thompson Hotel in Beverly Hills, aiming for that familiar snapshot aesthetic, but this time his subject is a model from Click Model Management, her image perfected by his team of stylists and makeup artists. "It's pretty cool to see him go from taking pictures of me drinking beers to aspiring models," said Haverford graduate Matt Handel, who lived in Apartment 14 with Rubin his senior year. Rubin, 23, a Growth and Structure of Cities major, graduated from Haverford in 2008. He played varsity soccer up until his senior year of college. Handel called Rubin an "atypical talent" in their group of sports player friends. He took two photography classes during his time at Haverford. He credits his Introduction to Photography professor, William Williams, with showing him that he could create a career out of photography, something he previously hadn't thought about. Rubin said these classes gave him an excuse to take pictures every week. His favorite subjects were "the people in [his] crazy dorm room" whom he called his friends. "I was the resident documenter, for better or for worse," Rubin said. Though his friends' interests were different from his own, he said they pushed him to stick with photography. Even now, Handel said he would like to see Rubin open up a gallery. Maybe in one of the vacant stores in Ardmore, he suggested. "He could just kill it in a gallery." After Rubin graduated, he thought he might want to work in photography, so he spent his summer days It was a cold, rainy Wednesday night at Haverford College but everyone in Apartment 14 2A was feeling warm. Jadakiss blasted from the speak- scouring Craigslist for a job. He eventually found a spot as famed fashion photographer Andrea Blanch's assistant. He worked in New York City, doing everything from photo editing to scanning old negatives to going on photo shoots with Blanch. Watching her put together photo shoots was his first taste of the professional photography world. Blanch, whose work spans Valentino ads to spreads in Vogue, said that as a photographer, "you absorb things." This held true for Rubin, who absorbed as much as he could while he worked for Blanch. "It was a big help for me," he said, "because unknowingly, I would have to do the same thing by myself in L.A." Rubin said that working with Blanch made him think he could actually be a photographer. When summer ended, it was his turn. He packed up and left his hometown, New Rochelle, N.Y., for Los Angeles. Rubin, who thrives on being independent, wanted to do something on his own. He had no set plans. Rubin decided to continue to pursue photography in Los Angeles, working as an assistant to photographers and photographer's agents. Though he learned firsthand about all that went into a shoot, he quickly realized that it was not what he wanted to do and found himself at square one. Alexander Reid, Rubin's close friend and roommate, remembers having long conversations about which path Rubin should choose. When Rubin would say he just didn't know what he wanted to do, Reid would encourage him to do what everyone said he was good at, what he loved: photography. "I'd say, `Don't be an assistant. Don't get coffee for photographers,'" Reid said. Rubin's family was also supportive, as he comes from a family of artists. His great-grandfather was the celebrated Danish sculptor and silversmith Georg Jensen. His mother, Ea Georg Jensen, is a textile artist and his sister is a graphic designer. He said that the strong presence of art in his family made him feel like photography was an accepted form of expression. "I didn't want him to stay [in Los Angeles] forever and ever," Ea Georg Jensen said. "But I'm very for what he's doing." In order to start doing photo shoots, Rubin had to be a little sneaky. In November he put out a fake casting call on sites like Craigslist and Model Mayhem, asking for models to be featured in an editorial he was doing. After they sent him their photos, he would tell them the booking was already filled, but would they like to do a test shoot for his portfolio? It always worked. 50 Left, one of Rubin's favorite shots from Color Photography at Haverford College. Right, Rubin's favorite models in his apartment senior year. "I made them believe I was already an established photographer," he said. "So that's a good trick." As he started doing his own shoots, Rubin said his photographs began to lean towards "the fashion side of things." It was never what he intended. Rubin, who is more interested in photojournalism, sort of fell into fashion photography. He knew that in order to get his foot in the door, he first needed to create a strong portfolio. Fashion photography was the answer. The first shoot was a little bewildering for Rubin, who was used to taking shots of scenery or candids of his friends. He struggled with keeping his photographs natural even though he knew the whole scene was orchestrated. With each click of the shutter, he learned more and more. But even if his photographs turned out great, he realized he needed to step up his subject matter. "He would get girls that were 5'2" and chubby," Reid said. "The photos were incredible but the models weren't it." So Rubin built up his portfolio and in February, he contacted local modeling agencies, asking if they needed any photographers to do test shoots. Click Model Management responded. They were struck by his unique post-processing style. Rubin uses brightly colored paint pens to add contours over his photos, producing a whimsical, urban pop-art feel. Royce Mitchell, a hairstylist who frequently works with Rubin, said that out of all the photographers he considered working with, Rubin was the one he remembered because of that distinctive quality of his work. "I told him that could be his ticket," Mitchell said. "I've never seen that, I thought it was amazing." Rubin knew he needed to find a way to set himself apart from the many aspiring photographers in Los Angeles. "So I just started doodling on my photos," he said. "I've always been a doodler." After the call from Click Model Management, everything else followed. "It was a big break for me," he said. Suddenly Rubin didn't need to trick anyone into working with him. He was able to choose what stylist, makeup artist and hairstylist he wanted to work with on location. Reid recalls the swift progression of Rubin's work, which occurred almost overnight. "I'd come home and there were models in my kitchen," Reid said. "I was like, `O.K., this is getting legit.'" Reid watched as his kitchen transformed into a studio and dressing room all at once. Rubin's behind-thescenes team was impressed with his work ethic and professionalism but also his ability to always keep things fun. Mitchell said that a lot of photographers have attitude, but there was no hint of drama with Rubin. "It makes the environment more creative," Mitchell said. "At first I was like, `I have to get a paid job.' But then I realized I could treat photography like an art." Kaitlin Painter, 20, Rubin's regular makeup artist for shoots, said if she had the choice, she would always choose to work with Rubin because she knows she'd get quality photos. Vana White, 25, a stylist who has worked on Rubin's set multiple times, remarked on his accuracy. "Out of 100 frames, 90 are excellent," she said. "A lot of photographers just start clicking away. Looking through his photos, it's hard because I have to choose. And I like all of them." All the work Rubin had been doing, though educational, was unpaid. He admits it was hard financially; he kept a waiting job at a restaurant to pay the bills. "Most people get discouraged doing free work," Reid said, "but it's all his portfolio to him." Two of Rubin's signature photo drawings, right image featuring Ambreal Williams of America's Next Top Model fame. For Rubin, as long as he could bartend or wait and still have time to work on his photography, he knew he'd be happy. "At first I was like, `I have to get a paid job,'" he said. "But then I realized, `No, I can treat photography like an art.'" But one day all the free work paid off. Four test shoots later, Click Model Management contacted Rubin to inform him that he was now on their paid photographer list. "It made me feel like an accomplished photographer," Rubin said. Still, he didn't sit back. He contacted Elite Model Management to begin a relationship with another modeling agency. But just when things are falling into place, Rubin is again doing the unexpected. He's heading back home. He's setting up a meeting with the New York office of Click Model Management. He's not quite sure what he's going to do, no set plans. He may have to trick some more models into working with him. But Rubin said he knows the only way to get anything done is just to do it. He's not too worried. "After graduating you sometimes get lost trying to figure out what you want to do," he said. "I think I found it. I'm going in a really good direction." Above, Rubin playing soccer at college.

For more of Rubin's work: www.usualpolitics.net 52 glam up your gear thats so college By Simran Singh As college students, we are known to shower rarely, eat constantly and roll out of bed in our sweatpants. But why? College is a place where we can transform from teenagers to adults. We need to start looking, dressing and being in the fabulous twenties that our New Jersey driver's licenses say we are. Not to say that appearance is our first priority (or maybe it is?), but it is the first thing people see. Yes, we want to be comfortable. Yes, we want to represent our respective schools. And most importantly, yes, we want to dress with some style. So with that said, here are some tips to glam up your gear. Let's take those hoodies and crew neck t-shirts to the next level. TIP #1: Cut it out! Hoodies are comfortable, but boy, are they tight around the neck. Take some scissors and make a little slit in between the drawstrings. Your hood will still work for those windy days walking up the HCA path, but it'll give you a more laid back look. No one wants to see you choke on those garlic knots in Haffner. Cut it up. TIP #2: Layer it up Crew neck t-shirts adorned with our college name. BRYN MAWR COLLEGE EST. 1886, HAVERFORD SQUIRRELS, GOT NUTS? We are all proud. But with a little layering, our tees will be tens. Wear your heather gray college tee under a tailored blazer for a relaxed look. Or add a leather jacket to a baggy BMC rugby t-shirt or zip-up Haverford track jacket; pair with leggings and flats and you're out the door. TIP #3: Accessorize Oh, those dreaded sweatpants. You know the ones with the HC/BMC logo on the pocket, the college name running down the left leg? Yes, they are comfortable. Yes, I guess I can tolerate them. Pair with some Minnetonka booties but please don't cut the seam up the leg. Pair with some L.L. Bean moccasins. You'll look warm and cozy on a rainy day in the D.C., but please do not sweat-suit it. Add a scarf and a fitted tshirt. Add a bangle to your crewneck t-shirt and solid colored legging. Accessorize ladies and gentlemen. Please accessorize. It's not like we only try to look hot at a Drinker party on Saturday night. Everyday is a day to be glamorous. So hear me out Mawrtyrs and Fords and glam up your gear.

PADRES: Angel in outfield saves the Giants
The Padres tied the game in the second, thanks to an unlikely contributor: Volquez.
Quentin returned to the lineup and stroked a second-inning, line-drive double down the left-field line. He came around to score when Jesus Guzman rammed a one-out double to left-center. Yonder Alonso flied out and Everth Cabrera was intentionally walked so Madison Bumgarner could face Volquez, the owner of two career RBIs.
Make that three, after Volquez hit a floater over second baseman Theriot's head, scoring Guzman.
"I think I closed my eyes and swung,'' Guzman said.
Black shut his and revealed the obvious: "It was a tough loss.''
Padres notes
INF/OF Alexi Amarista reported improvement after spraining his thumb on Monday night. "I think we dodged a bullet there,'' manager Bud Black said. ... RHP Tim Stauffer (elbow) reported little soreness after Monday's bullpen session. He'll throw again on Wednesday and then could head to Arizona for additional work. ... CF Cameron Maybin (wrist) took swings off the tee; he has missed seven straight starts. He could play Friday in Miami. ... LF Carlos Quentin , after resting his surgically repaired knee for the series opener, is scheduled to start the next three games. ... The team is off Thursday and then offers starters Kip Wells (1-3), Ross Ohlendorf (3-0) and Clayton Richard (7-11) against the Marlins.

South Park Tanning and NailsRead MoreA Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award winner, David Auburn's drama Proof establishes how difficult it is to prove sanity, love, and faith. After discovering a potentially groundbreaking mathematical proof in her deceased father's notebook, a young woman questions how much of his genius, and madness, she has inherited. The show contains adult language, so parents bringing young ones are encouraged to stuff their kids? ears with peanut butter before the show.2401 Brownsville RdSouth Park, PA US
The EquatorRead MoreThough their tanning bed's bulbs are designed to last for up to 800 hours, the staff at The Equator replaces them after only 500–700 hours of use to ensure optimal UVB output. This is just one example of their dedication to providing the best possible tanning experience—another is the way in which they meticulously clean each tanning bed before and after each session. Aside from traditional UV tanning and sunless Mystic Tan offerings, they shrink unwanted bodily bulges with curve-contouring infrared-heat wraps. Infrared light goes to work, heating the subcutaneous layer of skin to sweep away unnecessary cellular deposits. Treatments burn through up to 1,400 calories an hour, dwarfing the results of other activities such as marathon running's 1,186 calories or marathon staring contest's two calories.2783 S Park RdBethel Park, PA US
Tan Seekers - 4 locationsRead MoreTan Seekers not only has four levels of high-tech tanning beds and standup booths that bronze skin in as little as eight minutes, but also beds that do more than just tan. The Rejuvasun bed, for instance, combines tanning-bed lights with LED lights so it can simultaneously tan skin and boost collagen production to fight the signs of aging. The Hydration station will deeply hydrate your skin with steam, radiant heat and special oxygenated skincare products, to promote a faster, deeper, darker tan. Clients can top off their new looks with self-administered teeth-whitening sessions and, at certain locations, My-Lipo body-sculpting treatments. Complementing the tanning sessions are a variety of products, including a cooling lotion that feels almost as nice on freshly tanned skin as a hug from a snowman.5055 Library Rd.Bethel Park, PA US
Tanning FactoryRead MoreThe Tanning Factory preps guests for sunny jaunts on the beach with tanning beds, spray tans, and waxing services, performed by a licensed aesthetician. The staff applies spray tans by hand to ensure an even color, and an array of beds tailor tans to specific shades with varied bulb counts and wattage levels.4984 Library RdBethel Park, PA US
Ekves SalesRead MoreThe culmination of more than two decades of research by Wolff Tanning's experts, the four SunVision Pro tanning beds at Ultimate Bronze II darken skin tones with the help of lotions and accelerators by Australian Gold, Supre Tan, and other professional brands. Similarly, the salon's spray tans imbue bodies with an even, natural-looking glow that helps clients stand out on the beach or blend in with stacks of pennies when the vault guards make their nightly rounds. _Though Ultimate Bronze II sometimes features a discounted price online, this Groupon still offers the best deal available._1629 Route 481Charleroi, PA US
AnTina's Salon & BoutiqueRead MoreFor more than 50 years, AnTina's Salon & Boutique?s services?including hairstyling, mani-pedis, tanning, and waxing?have gussied up clientele from feet to coiffure. Staffers consistently update their aesthetic education, keeping track of new technology and trends, such as replacing hair with feathers.501 W Main StCarnegie, PA US

Re: Need help removing lilo
yep, that's definitely a lilo error message. this is why i personally use grub. what i would do is boot from a livecd distribution or what-not (ie: gentoo live cd, or knoppix), and install grub with it. from there, use grub as your boot loader and you should be fine. in order to write grub to your MBR, you will need to type grub into the console, then do setup (hd0,0) in order to write the mbr to /dev/hda. i really don't know how with lilo.
good luck, i strongly suggest using grub, because i've had my linux partition do exactly what you described here multiple times using lilo, but never messed up with grub.

Purple phase - Lavender is the latest novelty to take a bow on the kitchen stage
"If you warm it up a bit, it helps the seed to open up and adds extra flavor and fragrance," she explained. The response was glowing.
"Then I called in a friend of mine, (food engineer and chef) Lee Schlossberg. I said, 'What do you think of the possibility of lavender foods?' He said, 'Wow, what an interesting idea.' "
The duo experimented with a number of recipes before establishing the premiere line. "We came up with things terrible and magnificent," laughed Barrett, who is working on a lavender cookbook.
"You have to use lavender rather gingerly," she cautioned. "It can be used as a substitute for rosemary or even mint."
Before Barrett's products hit the market, consumable lavender was sold mainly in medicinal herb products, said Cassandra Ellington of Rancho Penasquitos. She has been an alternative-medicine consultant for more than 20 years at health food stores like Henry's in Solana Beach and Orchards Market Place in Ramona.
"People have always used lavender," said Ellington. "It goes way, way back. There's nothing new about that. I use it as a tea, because it's very relaxing. And I've used it medicinally in an extract form."
She referred to the 1977 book "Art of Aromatherapy" (Healing Arts Press; 14.95) by Robert Tisserand, which states that lavender can be used for such things as skin conditions like acne, eczema and burns; lung conditions such as asthma and bronchitis; neurological disorders like epilepsy; and gastrointestinal problems such as flatulence and nausea.
Ellington, however, usually uses lavender in its more traditional sense, "mainly in my bath, because it feels so good. It relaxes my muscle tension, and it's soothing." Lavender, she noted, is the top-selling scent in bath and body products.
From garden to kitchen
That brings us back to Bernhardy and Sullivan of Valley Center. In 1999, they started The Lavender Fields in Valley Center where they grow organic lavender to create bath and body products. On select weekends, they are open to the public and offer classes using lavender blossoms. Bernhardy's company is scheduled to be featured on Lynette Jennings' home decorating show Nov. 9 on the Discovery Channel.
While they don't sell lavender as a food, they do use dried lavender in their own kitchen. After all, they're surrounded by 4,500 lavender plants.
"Lavender imparts a good flavor," said Bernhardy. "It's good with foods with a high concentration of fat, like chicken with its skin on, turkey, lamb, any roast with fat in it."
As with all edible flowers, the lavender must be of food-grade quality. Plants from florists may have pesticides or herbicides on them.
Bernhardy said lavender is easy to grow in North County. To use your plants in cooking, don't use pesticides or most fertilizers on them, and give it full sun. Lavender needs deep watering every two weeks. When plants are in full bloom, cut the stems, bind them with a rubber band and hang them upside down to dry, said Bernhardy. Then grind them up. The couple keep a hand-held herb grinder filled with dried lavender to use in the kitchen.

Re: Mooring bouys
Our biggest issue is abandoned moorings. You can't anchor near them, you can't put a mooring near them, and you can't use them because they are in crap condition at best. My mooring is one of 6 in front of our club and only ONE other one is safe to use. Like mine, it was put down last spring. I chase people off them on occasion - not for "ownership" reasons but because they are unsafe for anything bigger than an Opti.
We have a spring project planned to remove all the junk gear and put down one or two good ones for guests of the club. I would like to see a basic permit/sticker process where if the sticker is over X years out of date the gear is removed.

The Trusted Review of Grand Theft Auto Five
Available on Xbox 360, PS3 (reviewed)
It's almost too big to judge. There's so much to GTA five – so much world, so much story, so many characters, so much to do – that it all gets a little overwhelming, hard to get a handle on. Yet this game is in many ways the culmination of Rockstar's work of the last ten years, rolling in everything its learnt from GTA 4, its DLC extensions, Red Dead Redemption and Max Payne 3.

Father in Heaven,
We are a people well acquainted with grief, but you O Lord are still merciful
Though the earth give way and mountains be removed, you are still Lord of all
Words can not express the depths of my people's sorrow
We weep and can not be consoled but today choose to believe that you are still faithful
We choose to believe that joy still comes in the morning
Imbue us with courage to face the day
Give us the strength to rise once more
Extend to us charity and justice, peace and truth
And allow us to always seek your face.
In the name of your son Jesus I pray. Amen.

Ashland Inc., which soared to a record this month after activist Jana Partners LLC disclosed a stake in the company, stands to boost the lowest valuation in the specialty-chemicals industry by breaking itself up.
Dow Chemical Co. , the largest U.S. chemical maker, posted second-quarter profit that trailed analysts' estimates after adverse weather curbed crop-chemical demand and plants in Texas and Argentina unexpectedly shut.
Trian Fund Management LP, the hedge fund co-founded by activist Nelson Peltz, boosted its stake in DuPont Co. and met top executives to discuss ways to increase shareholder value, according to people familiar with the matter.
U.S. corporations are set to report their most profitable fourth quarter on record as companies from Apple Inc. to Dow Chemical Co. feed the demand for iPads, caustic soda and capital goods that's bolstering the economy.
Iowa farmer Tom Oswald says he used to prefer Monsanto Co. 's premium corn seeds because they "yield like crazy." That was before they became too expensive.
Valspar Corp. is shaping up as a prime acquisition candidate for companies trying to consolidate the fragmented paint industry and profit from a housing rebound.
DuPont Co., the biggest producer of titanium dioxide pigment, is considering whether earnings volatility from the whitening chemical mean the business should be sold, Chief Executive Officer Ellen Kullman said.
"The valuation is being dragged down by these lower-growth, lower-margin, lower-quality businesses."

I am looking for solid information regarding the parents of William Plumlee b. 1728 d. 1826 m. Phoebe Denton. I have conflicting information about William's father. some say his father was John Plumley of Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Others say his father was Matthew Plumley who was married to Abigail UNKNOWN. Was William born in Virginia or Pennsylvania? Was Matthew a brother to John Plumley. Charles was John's father. Can anybody help?

I'm passing on some notes I took from my genealogy files. I can't really vouch for anything any earlier than my grandfather, Carus Plumlee and his father, John Cravens Plumlee (both doctors).
The notes I have on William Plumlee seem pretty well researched and authoritative; but I can't recall where I got them (off the internet, I'm sure).
I tried to follow your ancestry you listed in your post, but ran into a dead end when I couldn't come up with children for Kendall Plumlee. There are so many Isaacs and Williams in the tree, I'm sure I have gon off track somewhere. Here are the notes I have on some of the people you mentioned.
(John Wallace, son of Hazel Christine Plumlee, daughter of Dr. Carus Plumlee, son of Dr. John Cravens Plumlee, son of Isaac Denton Plumlee, son of Denton Plumlee, son of Isaac Plumlee, son of William Plumley)
According to Davis' History of Bucks Co.
Mary BAINBRIDGE of NJ, wed John PLUMLEY in 1708, and they lived in
Middletown, Bucks Co., PA
Mary was the dau of John BAINBRIDGE, by his wife Sarah CLOWES, who he had
married 15 Aug 1685 at a public assembly (15, 6mo, 1685)
Sarah CLOWES [CLOWS]was born in England, and immigrated to America on the
"Friends Adventure" arriving 28 Sep [7mo] 1682, with her parents John CLOWES
d.1687 & Margery ____ d.1698.
Notes for William Plumley
William Plumley on the Philadelphia Wagon Road South.
Evidently a descendant of the "Four brothers from England. Who came into
society to Pennsylvania in 1682
To this William Plumley who married Phebe Denton is as far as the family lines
have been traced by 3 historical genealogist: Namely, Robert D. Plumlee of
Tulsa, OK. William Stone, of Nashville, Tenn. and brother Hubert of
Charlotte, NC. and Edythe Whitley of Nashville, Tenn.
William Plumley of PA. married Phebe Denton in Virginia in 1762. The exact
place is not known. From the residence of her father the place must have been
in Frederick or Dunmore, County, (now Shenandoah with courthouse at
The children were Steven (b. 1769), Abraham (b. 1763 ), John (b. 1767 ), Isaac
( 1776), Isaac spelled name (Plunbley) in 1820 census of White, co., Tenn.
Patsy married Alexander Foster in 11/29/1799 lived to be over 100.
Robert D Plumlee lists the same names and, adds "perhaps more"
Whether William had brothers and sisters in Virginia at the same time is not
known. However records of Shenandoah Co., VA. show that Caleb O'dell m.
Abigail Pumly on Oct.18, 1772
The U.S. census for Burke Co., NC. of 1790 indicates that there were other
children in the William and Phebe household in addition to those listed.
Whether they had a son William (who married Hester O'Neal ) has not been
documented. During that year the latter William had a son John born in near by
SC. on 9/26/1790.
It is well known that the Plumlys or, ( some early Quaker records spelled it
Plumley) of Pennsylvania were Quakers and may have refused to take an oath,
Long before the Revolutionary War, oath taking to renounce allegiance to the
King of England and, to faithfully bear true allegiance to the Common Wealth
of Pennsylvania, brought pressure on the Quakers. As the war drew closer
the pressure increased. Finally a formal written oath approved by the
Continental Congress on June, 13, 1777 was imposed upon all males above
eighteen years of age in Pennsylvania except Bedford and Westmoreland,
Counties, and was not dispensed with until 1790. The oath was aimed primarily at
Tories and Quakers. A typical oath was published in 1774.
On Sept.8,1777 Congress ordered the Quakers removed south to Virginia and it
was 1778 before the caravan of wagons returned to Philadelphia and Chester
Co., Thereafter the Quakers were no longer molested as a group during the
war. Later when George Washington became President he spoke understanding and
warm words to the Quakers, who well remembered their journey and hardships
down to Virginia and back up the Great Wagon Road.
Increase of their own numbers and new settler coming into Pennsylvania from
various European countries caused many to seek more open space. This could be
one of the contributing factors why William Plumly left Pennsylvania for
Virginia. He must have been a faithful Quaker and passed the beliefs and
practices on to some of his children.
On the 10th of August 1773 three of William and Phebe Denton Plumly's children
were baptized as members of the Presbyterian Church and were listed as Denton
aged 10, John aged 7, and Stephen aged 4. The same reference says that Phebe
Denton married William Plumley, no date given.
With Phebe's ancestral Presbyterian back ground, it may be assumed that the
children became members as a result of her influence and request. Since
William was a Quaker, it is reasonable to assume that the parents' religious
beliefs and affiliation were in conflict. No other reference has been found
showing Presbyterian learning or affiliations.
The William Plumley family was evidently in Dunmore (now Shenandoah) Co.,
Virginia, for William bought 256 acres of land from Richard Cambell on 25, May
1772 for 25 shillings current money of Virginia and the yearly rent of one
acre of Indian corn. The records show that on the very next day, May,26, 1772
that William Plumley bought 256 and ½ acres from Richard Cambell for the sum
of 210 pounds current money of Virginia. Both deeds are for the same land.
Each deed was signed by Richard Cambell and wife Rebecca Cambell. The same
set of witnesses signed each deed. Witnesses were, Edwin Young, Andrew Greer,
and John Sevier.
This type of conveyance is somewhat unusual. They are deeds of lease and
release. The property description is the same, and the transactions are on
successive days. The purpose is vague, but probably had to do with tax
William and family were listed in 1790 census of Burke Co., NC. along with
Stephen and Abraham. Most of the records of Burke Co., were destroyed during
the Civil War, therefor little is known of this family during the late 1870s
and early 1850s.
Blacks Law Dictionary p. 697 (1891) says
A species of conveyance much used in England, said to have been
invented by Seargent Moore, soon after the enactment of the
statute of uses. It is thus contrived: A lease, or rather a bargain and
sale upon some pecuniary consideration for one year, is make by
the tenant of the freehold to the lessee or bargainee, This, without
any enrolment makes the bargainor stand selsed (sic) to the use of
the bargainee and vest in the bargainee the use of term for one year,
and then the statute immediately annexes the possession. Being
thus in possession, he is capable of receiving a release of the
freehold and reversion, which must be made to the tenant in
possession, and accordingly the next day is granted to him. The
lease and release is granted to him. The lease and release, when
used as a conveyance of the fee, have a joint operation of a single
It is reasonable to believe William and Phebe Plumly lived on this land for
about fifteen months. On Aug.,23,1773 William Plumly conveyed a deed of lease
the same land just described (256 and ½ Acre) to Lawrence Snapp (both of
Dunmore, County, Virginia) for the sum of 5 shillings current money of
Virginia and a yearly rent of one acre of Indian corn. This deed was signed
by mark of William Plumley (note spelling) only. This is the first evidence
found that William (Plumly) could not sign his name.
Again on the following day 24,Aug.1773, William and Phebe conveyed by deed of
release the same (256, ½) land to Lawrence Snapp for 210 pounds current money
of Virginia. The deed was signed by mark of William Plumly (note spelling)
and the signature of Phebe Plumly. Her signature indicates her relinquishment
of dower interest in property. Neither of these 2 deeds witnessed. However,
on 29, Sept, 1773 William and Phebe appeared before the clerk of Court, Thomas
Marshall, and acknowledged the conveyance. The clerk ordered the recordation.
After the sale of the land and homestead it is not known where the Plumly
family went. Neither is it known when William arrived in the area. It is
possible that he had been there for several years.
Whether they went to live with her parents is not known, but Abraham Denton
II, her father, was at that time 73 years of age and might have been in poor
health. He made his will on 12,Aug, 1774 and it was probated 27,Sept 1774.
His movable estate was appraised at 76.07.03 1/8 Pounds. The land was left to
his wife Mary. Abraham Denton III had already received his share of the land
and had departed, but his father left him his best breatches (sic), 2 pair of
boots, 2 coats and waistcoats and 5 pounds from Martha and Phebe's share.
For the next five years no record has been found of William Plumly family.
Since all the other children were married and widely scattered, the Plumly's
may have remained with Phebe's widowed mother. Wanderlust and lure of the
frontier must have been building up within William and Phebe. Probably they
had received good reports from other members of the family down in North
Carolina. Phebe's mother probably passed away about 1778. It is reasonable to
believe that they sold their possessions, loaded the family heirlooms and other
necessities on a Conestoga Wagon and took the Philadelphia wagon Road south.
The period of the Revolutionary War, and the years after were those of great
The wagon in which the Plumley family arrived in Rockingham, Co., N.C. in
1780 or earlier was not the first model to come out of Conestoga Valley in
Pennsylvania. Proof of its earlier use had been documented in 1750. There
was an Ordinary (Inn, or tavern) known as "The Conestoga Wagon " in
Some historians have stated that the land in present Rockinghan Co., N.C.
where William Plumley took land by squatter's rights was slightly off the
Philadelphia Wagon Road South, However, Jeffery's map shows that the Great
Road to the Yalkin in N.C. was 435 miles long. It led from Philadelphia
through Lancaster and York, Pa. to Winchester, Va., up the Shenandoah Valley
across the upper waters of the James to Roanoke, then down the latter through
the Blue Ridge, crossing the Dan River at Dix ferry and from there to the head
water of the Yadkin in what is now Forsyth, County.
Again Kenneth Haynes Jr. assisted by Linda Vermon, Robert W. Carter Jr. and
Charles Rodenbrough of the Rockingham, County, N.C., Historical Society, Inc.,
prepared a map of the county entitled Rockingham Co., N.C. Historical
Documentation 1979.
The map clearly shows the William Plumley squatter's rights location site of
1780 and subsequent grant of 1787, both on the west side of Piney Creek and
Speedwell Presbyterian Church on the west. The Dix ferry (over the Dan-on
Caswell Co., N.C.--Virginia state line) road passes within a few feet of the
Plumly house and Church. Therefore, the Dix Ferry Road is a part of the
Philadelphia Wagon Road South. Later the road became known locally as the
stagecoach road to Greenboro, N.C.
The best Evidence that the Plumly family went south is that William Plumly
made an application for a land grant in Gullford Co., N.C. in 1870. The entry
taker made note
Entry No, 2032, Feb, 23, 1780. William Plumly entries (sic) 600 acres on
Piney the waters of Trouble stone lying at east corner of the Iron Works line
and running along widow Dixon's north line to Robert Boak corner including the
improvements Purchased from William Fowler.
Due to the method of travel and the severity of the winter, it would seem
reasonable to assume that the Plumly family arrived in Gullford Co. the
previous fall, summer or earlier. Normally it would be expected that the
inprovements purchased from William Fowler earlier included a house,
outbuildings and probably a small orchard, all located on the land which
Plumly hoped to be granted to him
The exact location of the homestead is about 5 miles west of the present town
of Reidville, N.C. in Rockingham Co., which was cut of from Gullford in 1785.
Those in the area report that latter additions were made to the log house by
the Scott family and made into what was known as the Polly Scott Inn. The Inn
remained intact until 1975. The stagecoach road to Gullford courthouse ( now
Greenboro) passed within a few feet of the building. The topography of the
land was slightly rolling, but excellent for farming.

thanks for your reply. The information you sent me supports other information I have obtained. I still don't see a clear connection between John Plumley of Bucks County Pa. and William Plumley who married Phoebe Denton. First of all John Plumley had a son named William b. about 1719 who did not live to majority. Do you think John had another son in 1728 and named him William also?

None of the information I have indicates a second son named William, following the death of the other William. My notes have this entry:
"John Plumly, the son of Charles who was one of the "four brothers" who came over from Somerset, England, had a son named William, born in 1719, but the book *says he died young.

Can you clarify your post for me?
My information tracks with your list of names, down to Clinton. I don't show any Plumlees after him.
What is the relationship of the names following his?
(George, Henry, Homer, Ernest Lee, your father (name?), and your name?)

I'm not sure I understand your question. My father's name was Earl Jackson Plumlee. His father's name was William Sanford Plumlee. His father's name was Isaac Newton Plumlee. His father's name was Kendall (Dock) Plumlee. His father's name was John Plumlee. His father's name was William Plumlee (Plumley) who married Phoebe Denton.

Samsung Galaxy Gear can be tweaked to run proper Android apps
The Samsung Galaxy Gear has turned out to be quite the entertaining hacking device. Using Android's SDK and Android Debug Bridge (ADB) ArsTechnica was able to sideload some proper Android apps on the little smartwatch and it had no trouble running them.
You only need to enable USB debugging on the Galaxy Gear settings in order for this to work – no root required. The Samsung smartwatch runs Android Jelly Bean 4.2.2 with an 800 MHz single-core chip and 512 MB of RAM so it's able to run apps like most droids would – the only limitation is the small on-board storage and tiny screen.

Radek solo 2012 Baja 1000 on 990R
View Single Post
Gnarly Adventurer
Joined: Feb 2010
Location: Chilliwack, BC
Oddometer: 293
So one of the first things I am looking at is analyzing our first race to see what went wrong....
Past Race
We did it in 2008, team of 2, in 30 class. This was a loop race and it was short 630 miles. We finished the race in 19:53 so that put as at about 32 mph total average. Seems slow. But here are some of the things that happened....
Our ktm 540 blew up 2 days before the race so we ended up racing a tired 450exc. This slowed us down quite a bit. In the woops it did not have enough power, and i remember on the salt flats being passed by one guy because I had to have it in 5th gear as 6th would not pull.
We screwed up on the second pit as I finished the section a bit faster and we were not ready. We were supposed to put on lights and new rubber in the daylight right before the woops but we just kept going. Not smart riding the whole san felipe section on toasted tires.
This caused us to have to switch everything at night and we did not have any lights so we were doing it in front of our truck headlights. This pit stop was over an hour long!
Then I broke down on the east coast and it took me almost an hour to get going again. At that point the fog had rolled in and our pace was reduced to a crawl. Also the break down took a lot our of me mentally. Giving up all those spots after battling for them so hard was discouraging.
So best case scenario we would have shaved 3 hours from our time easily if we weren't stupid. That would put as at an average somewhere at about 38 mph. The other factor was that I had only been riding motorbikes for 1.5 years at the time and I'm a much much better rider now.
New Race
So based on the previous race I'm thinking here are the pros/cons
Going for me
- I have 3 times the riding experience than i did then
- It's a faster course
- I have raced and ridden the baja several times since then
- I'm racing a 990r which for non woops riding will be more comfortable than a dirtbike
Going agains me
- I'll be doing it solo instead of with a partner
- the race is probably 400 miles longer than the last one
- I'll be racing a 990r instead of a dirtbike which will be tough in the woops
I'm actually thinking that the 990 will benefit me more than a dirtbike. As a big buy ( 6'4" 280 lbs ) a dirtbike is not fun to ride for long distances, and my size allows me to handle the big bike better in technical areas. I think if I can get through the woops ok, on the majority of the course I'll be less fatigued on the 990 than a small bike.
So if the course is 1050 miles...the numbers would be this
Best case: 38 mph that would put it at 27 hours.
Probable case: 30 mph that would put it at 35 hours.
Adjust for baja +5 hours : 40 hours
At this point have to start thinking about sleep. I can probably make 30 hours without sleep, but after that would have to factor in some shut eye.
From all this it becomes so clear.... to finish, be consistent and keep a higher average to finish faster! Duhh!

To submit a report on the extent of pollution, water availability to High Court
3 members on the expert committee
Palar ravaged by sand mining: PILs
CHENNAI: The Madras High Court has formed a three-member expert committee to inspect sand quarries in three villages along the river Palar. It will submit a report on the extent of pollution and water availability to the court.
The First Bench comprising Justice S.J. Mukhopadhaya and Justice N. Paul Vasanthakumar was passing orders on three public interest litigations filed by former heads of civic bodies in the area opposing indiscriminate quarrying of sand in the villages of Vilagam, Easur and Budhur in Kancheepuram district.
The committee shall comprise the Executive Engineer in the groundwater division of the Public Works Department, besides Annuthoman, assistant professor from the Centre for Water Resources, Anna University; and C. Mohandoss, professor and Head of the Department of Geo-Information at the Anna University.
The members shall inspect the quarries and submit a report on whether illicit sand quarrying was polluting the Palar and causing difficulties to the local people, who are dependent on its water for drinking and agriculture, the order read.
The petitioners – V.K. Govindan, V.K. Ganapathy and Neelambal Govindarajan – said Palar had already been ravaged by rampant illicit sand mining and that the carrying capacity of the river had been considerably weakened. Endangering the regenerative capacity of the river to recharge groundwater in the region would adversely affect the interests of farmers and residents, it said.
Vilagam case
In the case of Vilagam, the court had already granted interim injunction restraining the authorities from operating the quarry in 2005. When the order was violated a contempt petition was filed. While passing orders on the contempt petitions, the court had directed the Revenue Divisional Officers to ensure proper compliance of court orders.
In the case of Budur and Easur, the petitioners opposed formation of roads as the increased movement of heavy vehicles posed a threat to the lives of villagers. As an order of interim injunction, granted in 2006, was violated, contempt proceedings were initiated by the petitioners.

Volkswagen's new caddy proves to be a cool operator.
Van operators are attracted by its increased load capacity and payload compared with its predecessor, as well as its typically robust Volkswagen build quality, advanced diesel engines and appealing driving characteristics.
Underlining its improved flexibility, Volkswagen's Benfield Van Centre in Newcastle is receiving significant interest; from a variety of businesses, for a conversion of the new Caddy for chill operations. The conversion was carried out by Cold Consortium Ltd, which opted for the newly developed under-bonnet refrigeration system from GAH Refrigeration.
The converted Caddy features TCC pressure-bonded, 50 mm insulated panels. The insulation used is high density, CFC-free extruded polystyrene, which is well known for its high strength and excellent temperature retention properties. The panel set is bonded into the vehicle load space to prevent cold bridges forming to the metal work of the vehicle, thus reducing the transmission of load temperature to the exterior.
The interior load space also receives a final treatment of 'food friendly' expoxy resin to give a high gloss, easy to clean surface which is impregnated with Envirocare Bactercide. This is claimed to kill, for example, E-coli, lysteria and salmonella, plus a whole range of fungi and yeast that may have an adverse effect on foodstuff.
With a class-leading load space of 3.2 cubic metres, the new Caddy can accommodate a payload of up to 819 kg (including driver). Access for loading could not have been made easier with a side sliding door fitted as standard that opens to 70cm. Operators also have the choice of rear wing doors or a tailgate.
The Caddy is available with a choice of two diesel engines: a 2.0-litre 69 PS SDI unit or a turbocharged 1.9-litre 104 PS TDI powerplant. Both employ Volkswagen's highly acclaimed 'Pumpe Duse' (or unit injector) technology, which is characterised by high efficiency and low emissions. Opened in June 2004, Benfield is the largest dedicated Volkswagen Van Centre in the UK, with a display of five vehicles inside and three new external display areas. The site call show 40 used vehicles and has 16 workshop bays plus over 100 customer parking spaces.

Sorry that I don't have time write a synopsis of this story, but I just wanted to share this story with you guys. I found it at LATimes.com
More planned housing riles Disney
The company and Anaheim are already knee-deep in conflict over a 1,500-unit plan. A 449-unit plan promises even more.
By Dave McKibben, Times Staff Writer
May 10, 2007
It isn't nearly as vast or publicized as the controversial proposal to build lower-cost housing just down the street from Disneyland, but there is another looming residential project drawing Disney's wrath.
And it too comes with lower-income worker housing in an area of town that the entertainment giant says should be confined to tourism and the financial windfall it brings to Orange County's second-largest city.
Disney and some city leaders have been locked in battle over Platinum Pointe, a proposal to build about 1,275 condos and 225 lower-income apartments where Disney someday hopes to build a third amusement park. The dispute has sparked a lawsuit, two citywide ballot drives and plenty of rhetoric.
Now, the owners of an RV park on the far edge of the resort district want to build a 449-unit condo high-rise. The site, now home to the Anaheim RV Village, lies across Interstate 5 from Disneyland, barely within the boundaries of the resort district but squarely on Disney's hit list.
Developers of the proposed Parc Anaheim high-rise see the property, surrounded by two elementary schools, neighborhoods and the freeway, as a gateway to the city's downtown and generally unconnected to the tourist district.
Disney officials say the city, by allowing two residential projects in the zone, may be creating "a land rush" on housing in an area that it has painstakingly groomed for high-end tourism.
"The common theme with both of these projects is that they sit in an area zoned for tourist uses," said Rob Doughty, a Disneyland spokesman. "So they just shouldn't be there."
Disney's focus and energies have been geared toward blocking Platinum Pointe. But Parc Anaheim officials said they learned last fall through city staff that Disney did not consider them welcome in its neighborhood.
The news surprised David DiRienzo, Parc Anaheim's co-developer, who said Disney officials had assured his investors the company would not object to plans for a residential complex on the property.
"I still haven't spoken to Disney and I'm perplexed as to what their opposition is," said DiRienzo, whose Urban West firm is developing the project with Irvine-based St. Clair Meyers. "I thought in America you always got to face your accuser. But I guess that's not the case with Disney."
Doughty said company officials had a "brief, second-hand conversation" with the city about the project's concept, but there were no specifics about the plan.
"We said we would need to hear more," Doughy said. "And they mistakenly took that as a green light."
Now that a Disney-backed ballot initiative to stop resort district housing is being pushed, DiRienzo is fighting to keep his project alive by forming a coalition of developers and business owners to oppose the measure, if it makes the ballot.
A second measure, backed by a coalition of business interests and also backed by Disney, would specifically block the Platinum Pointe project.
DiRienzo called the measure, aimed at preserving the resort district for tourist-friendly uses, Orwellian.
"This proposition isn't about one or two developers, it's about anybody who owns private property within the resort," he said. "If you own a gas station, restaurant or a hotel, you may have to get voters to approve a new business. It's Big Brother and it's alarming.
"Disney is saying, 'We want to control this land as though it's our own, but we don't want to own it. We will dictate what is built, not government, not a body of local representatives.' When you take government out of the equation, you get a dictatorship."
Environmental reviews on Parc Anaheim have been completed, but the developer said Disney's actions could delay the project at least three years. The council has cleared the way for the Platinum Pointe complex by changing zoning on the site, but a specific plan hasn't been submitted.
It is unclear how much City Council support the Parc Anaheim project has.
Councilwoman Lorri Galloway, Platinum Pointe's biggest supporter because of its lower-income housing component, is backing Parc Anaheim, which would include several dozen lower-income units, work-live lofts, shops and a preschool.
But Councilman Harry Sidhu, who is supporting the anti-housing initiative along with Mayor Curt Pringle, is opposed to the project.
"If we do not protect our resort and keep building hotels here," he said, "other communities like Garden Grove, Fullerton and Orange will build them and our revenue stream will be gone."
