Few in county receiving federal aid to prevent homelessness
Most Ventura County families seeking emergency aid for homelessness through the federal stimulus package are rejected because they don't meet the government's rules for the program.
Of 375 households screened for the initiative that got under way late last year, fewer than 20 percent were eligible, according to figures supplied by the Ventura County Human Services Agency. That's because the $2 million program — representing one of the largest sources for preventing homelessness in years — is for a limited group.
Under federal rules, no one in the household can be undocumented, said Karol Schulkin, program coordinator for county homeless services. Applicants also must be homeless or on the verge and able to pay for their housing after what's intended as a one-time bailout.
"A lot of people have bills and get behind," Schulkin said. "But unless they're literally facing eviction or are already homeless and trying to scramble their way back into housing, we can't help them with the fund."
Others are excluded because they are awaiting unemployment or disability benefits that are still pending. Without proof that they will get the income, they're ineligible for what's called the Homeless Prevention and Rapid Re-housing Program.
Wendy Lopez, 21, of Ventura, is facing that situation.
Almost $1,850 behind in the rent for her one-bedroom apartment, she has received a three-day notice to pay or move out. Meanwhile, her application for temporary disability benefits for an injured back is pending, she said.
A paperwork glitch created when her doctor's office submitted the wrong Social Security number has slowed the benefits process, the nursing assistant said.
Her landlord has been understanding but is expecting February's rent to be paid, Lopez said.
"I never needed this much help in my life," said Lopez, who shares the apartment with her 6-year-old daughter. "When you need it, it's not there."
Frans Reijerse, a manager for Catholic Charities, is trying to help her out. But he said the rules require documentation of income.
"It has to be in black and white," he said as Lopez visited his office Friday.
Still, Reijerse said, he's been able to help 13 families avoid evictions with the help of the fund. Countywide, more than $117,000 has been distributed to 65 households, chiefly for rent, move-in deposits and payment of utilities.
Jody Freeman, 43, of Ventura said the program was a godsend for her.
Her family fell behind in rent for their two-bedroom apartment when she was injured at work and her boyfriend was working in a seasonal job.
"It's a wonderful thing for people that really need it," she said.
Along with providing the cash, caseworkers help families figure out budgets so they can stay in their houses.
"The first six months, they monitor you," Freeman said. "They don't want to help people that are going to end up in the same situation a month later."
Sometimes that means persuading people to cut back so they can make the rent.
"We work with them on their budget," Schulkin said. "Literally people have sold cars. People have moved into smaller, cheaper apartments, not the apartment they would prefer. They're definitely letting go of cable, letting go of telephones. We have had a number of people helped to see that they do qualify for food stamps."
Schulkin said demand has been heavy ever since the program started. Initially, 75 calls came in a day to a dedicated phone line at 385-8585. It is now averaging around 40.
"People burst out crying when you can help them," Schulkin said. "It's making a tremendous difference."
The most aid has been distributed in Ventura. The city is running almost $10,000 ahead of Oxnard, and its total is almost five times as much as distributed in Simi Valley.
An official said demand and longtime collaborative efforts targeting homelessness may explain it.
"We have one-third of the homeless population in the county," said Peter Brown, community services manager in Ventura. "It makes sense we would at least be in the upper two."
Oxnard, the county's largest city, has the largest share of the funds with $1.1 million to spend.
Will Reed, who coordinates homelessness programs in Oxnard, said it's a nice resource to have, but he considers the rules too tight.
In a high-cost county like Ventura, a family should be able to make more than 50 percent of the median income and still qualify, he said. For a family of four, the threshold is $43,750.
The money must be spent by 2012, so there is plenty of time left, said Christy Madden, a county administrator overseeing community development programs.
"We've spent less than 10 percent so far," Madden said.

Juan Mata to PSG
This cannot continue. The Spaniard will surely not settle for a place on the Chelsea bench for much longer - both because he's a world-class player and because a World Cup is looming next summer.
Jose Mourinho doesn't fancy him, he was an unused substitute again against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Monday night.
With Andre Schurrle, Eden Hazard, Willian, Kevin de Bruyne, Oscar and Ramires among others, Chelsea don't *need* Mata.
But most clubs *want* a player of his calibre, and Paris St Germain are reportedly interested should Chelsea indicate their willingness to sell.
If he was to go, the £42.5m fee paid by Arsenal for Ozil should be the going rate. Chelsea will look to get as close to this figure as possible.

CLOVIS, N.M. (AP) - Clovis police say they're investigating a man's death as a homicide.
Police say a property manager found the body of 33-year-old Jose Barrera in an apartment on Monday.
According to police, Barrera had a Tucumcari address on his driver's license but recently had been living in Clovis as a transient.
Police say they're awaiting a determination of cause of death but say the death is suspicious because of blood found on the victim's head and because the apartment was supposed to be vacant.
Investigators are asking for the public's assistance in locating two people of interest in the Clovis area they would like to speak to regarding the investigation. Investigators are attempting to locate Frank Campos, 42, of Clovis and Lorenzo Medina (AKA "Torro"), 37, of Clovis. Anyone who may know the whereabouts or how to contact these two men are asked to contact the Clovis Police Department Dispatch at (575)769-1921 and ask to speak with a Detective.

So much for being space cowboys. Dennis Tito, the multi-millionaire behind what was to be the first privately funded mission to Mars, has just knocked on NASA's door asking for help. The development is a wake-up call to the most idealistic dreamers of the private spaceflight industry.
"They can't do it all by themselves, particularly this kind of ambitious mission," says John Logsdon, formerly of the Space Policy Institute at George Washington University in Washington DC. "It's a recognition of reality."
Tito's not-for-profit mission, called Inspiration Mars, was initially supposed to use entirely private or commercial vehicles to launch a pair of astronauts into Earth orbit in early 2018. The crew would take advantage of the planets' fortuitously close orbits at that time to take a 501-day journey around Mars and back home, without landing on the Red Planet's surface.
But a new architecture study report released on 20 November concluded that the plan could not work without NASA's Space Launch System (SLS), a heavy lift vehicle that is still in development but should be ready to take humans into space by 2021.
Trying like hell
Tito, a former space tourist who created the Inspiration Mars Foundation in February, testified before the US House Subcommittee on Space to make the case for joining forces. The mission would become a NASA mission, not a private one, and it would cost less than $1 billion – $700 million of which would be provided by NASA.
Inspiration Mars's chief technology officer Taber McCallum says the group made an exhaustive effort not to involve NASA, but ultimately failed. "Our bias really was, we're going to do this commercially. That's what we tried like hell to do."
The issue is the sheer amount of gear required for a human mission. The crew will need a module that will keep them alive for the duration of the trip, including all their food, radiation shielding, and a separate pod to protect them during the high-speed re-entry into Earth's atmosphere. Launching all this along with the crew is impossible with existing spacecraft, the report found.
Even if you break the mission into several separate launches, getting all the gear into space would take at least three launches with planned commercial vehicles, such as the privately built SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket, which has yet to fly. Then you would need a final launch to deliver the crew. Once in orbit, the modules would need to carry out sensitive docking operations to link up, plus refuelling, all within the space of about a week.
How do ya like them apples?
The SLS, on the other hand, will have more than twice the lift capacity of the Falcon Heavy, and could take everything but the humans in one go. "The physics are the physics," says McCallum.
The turnaround has taken some getting used to for the members of Inspiration Mars. "We thought we could do this philanthropically and be outside of the government," says McCallum. "But we found ourselves saying yeah, you've gotta use the SLS to go to Mars! Wow, NASA was right! How do you like them apples?"
That still puts them on a tight schedule. SLS's first test flight isn't supposed to be until 2017 – and the module that will ultimately get the crew to orbit has yet to be specified, though Inspiration Mars is counting on one made by a commercial company, such as the Dragon capsule made by SpaceX. Yet in order to sling-shot around Mars according to the trajectory proposed, the astronauts need to leave Earth orbit no later than 5 January, 2018.
So Tito also announced a possible plan B, noting that Mars, Earth and Venus will be aligned in 2021 such that the spacecraft could launch towards Venus and use its gravity to slingshot back out towards Mars. The crew would go within about 800 kilometres of the surface of Venus, and the trip would take only about 80 days more.
National pride
"That gives us more time to build the system, and would pass by two planets, Mars and Venus, rather than one," Tito said in a press conference on 20 November. It would also put the astronauts on a gentler re-entry trajectory, reducing the velocity at which they would come racing back to Earth.
But that's not Tito's preference because the later launch date gives rival space agencies – such as Russia or China – more time too. In his testimony to Congress, he appealed to lawmakers' sense of national pride.
"The United States will carry out a Mars flyby mission, or we will watch as others do it – leaving us to applaud their skill and their daring," he said. "If America is ever going to do a flyby of Mars – a manned mission to another world – then 2018 is our last chance to be first."
It's unclear whether the US government will bite. In the press conference, Tito said he expects a bill proposing that NASA collaborate with Inspiration Mars within the next two weeks, although he couldn't say which Congressional representative would sponsor it.

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) -- Corey Fuller caught a 25-yard touchdown pass and Trevone Boykin threw to Josh Boyce for the 2-point conversion, lifting TCU to a 39-38 double overtime win over No. 23 West Virginia on Saturday night. TCU (6-3, 3-3 Big 12) got the victory after West Virginia (5-3, 2-3) went ahead on Geno Smith's 25-yard TD pass to Stedman Bailey. On TCU's possession, Boykin handed off to B.J. Catalon and he pitched to Brandon Carter, who threw to Fuller in the end zone. Boyce then caught the 2-point conversion, which was upheld after review. TCU rallied from 10 points down to force overtime. Boykin and Boyce teamed up on a 96-yard TD pass play with 1:28 left to tie the score at 31-31. Neither team scored in the first overtime.

Current Rheumatology Fellows
Durga Adhikari, MD
First Year Rheumatology Fellow
BS, Biology, Saint Xavier's Campus, Nepal
MBBS, Manipal College of Medical Sciences, Nepal
Resident, Saint Agnes Hospital Internal Medicine
I am a medical graduate from Nepal. I completed Internal Medicine Residency from Saint Agnes Hospital, Baltimore, Maryland and am interested in inflammatory arthritis and newer, innovative treatments. Outside of medicine, I like running, trekking and traveling.
My desire to learn and understand the complexity of human body enticed me to pursue medicine as my career. I find Rheumatology to be interesting and challenging at the same time as most of the disorders involve multiple organ systems and a lot of questions still remain unanswered. Fellowships give young physicians like me the opportunity to make significant contributions to the field. I hope to pursue a career as a clinical educator in Rheumatology.
David Gray, MD
First Year Rheumatology Fellow
BA, Economics, Williams Collage
MD, Medical University of South Carolina
Resident, Tufts University Medical Center
I earned a BA in Economics at Williams College, a MD with Masters of Science in Clinical Research at MUSC, and completed internal medicine training at Tufts Medical Center in Boston, MA. Clinically, I am interested in general rheumatology, but I have a particular interest in health economics and access to care.
I decided to enter medicine because I enjoy solving people's problems, particularly with improving quality of life using objective data. I enjoy the challenge of trying to understand the complexities of health and disease. Rheumatology is a field that requires constant learning and study, which I find exciting. I plan to pursue a career largely focused on clinical rheumatology, either in private practice or in an academic setting with a clinical advisor role in health economics research.
Jake Ritt, MD
Second Year Rheumatology Fellow
BS, George Washington University
MD, Ross University School of Medicine
Resident, Drexel University College of Medicine
I completed my bachelor of science degree in biology at The George Washington University, followed by medical school at Ross University, and completed my internal medicine residency at Drexel University/Hahnemann University Hospital. I look forward to focusing on patients with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and the seronrgative spondyloarthropathies. I went in to medicine because I was always science-oriented throughout high school and college, but I also enjoyed the human aspect about being able to directly impact someone's life. Rheumatology marries those two interests quite well, and has been very challenging and rewarding for me.
My long-term career goals are to go into private practice where I can thrive in one particular community for decades to come. I want to lay roots in a community and become a leader amongst my neighbors where I am well respected for my contributions to the people I treat on a day-to-day basis. My personal interests include sports, both watching and playing, going to live concerts and stand up comedy shows, and competing in trivia contests.
Eric Slavin, MD
Second Year Rheumatology Fellow
BS, University of Michigan
MD, Ohio State University
Resident, St. Vincent's Hospital, Indianapolis
I received a bachelors in biology at the University of Michigan, my M.D. at The Ohio State University, and completed my internship and residency at St. Vincent Hospital in Indianapolis. Inflammatory arthritis and vasculitis are areas of particular interest to me. Outside of medicine, I love reading, running, and cooking.
I chose medicine because I knew it would be challenging and interesting and I would have many different opportunities to find my niche. I think that most people strive to help others, if only indirectly through their careers. In medicine, helping others becomes a central focus, which aligns perfectly with my values.
My long term goal is to enjoy life and help others find happiness too. Medicine, particularly rheumatology, is helping me to realize this goal. I am a trained clinician, but I am also looking into clinical research to see if this may be an area of interest to me.

Carrying signs to express their gratitude and their choice of love over violence in the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre, approximately 400 residents of Newtown, Conn., attended the New York Giants-Philadelphia Eagles game Sunday. The residents, including about 200 students from the school system, formed a gantlet to welcome players from both teams before the game. They then held hands and ringed the field as the national anthem was played at MetLife Stadium. Players on both teams exchanged high-fives with the residents, who the Giants said included the family of Jack Pinto, the 6-year-old fan of the Giants who was buried in a No. 80 jersey of Victor Cruz, his favorite player. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell also greeted the people in a tunnel at the stadium. Giants spokesman Pat Hanlon said there were a few families in attendance who lost children in the attack earlier this month. The families arrived in nine chartered buses. The team did not allow access to th...

Luanda — The Minister of Fisheries, Victória de Barros Neto, reaffirmed this Friday in Luanda the investment of the Angolan executive in the recovery of fishing resources and development of fish processing and manufacturing industry, under the eradication of hunger and poverty programme.
The official said so during the opening of Council for Integrated Mnagement of Aquatic and Biological Resources.
The minister underlined that this investment is extended to the development of saline industry aquiculture and training of specialised staff.
She said that the state will play its role in the reinforcement of the institutional capacity in the field of research, inspection, technical assistance service and extension for artisanal fishing.
Victória de Barros Neto appealed for the participation of the private sector in the creation of economically profitable companies, taking advantages of business and credit opportunities that the executive is availing.
The Council for Integrated Management of Aquatic and Biological Resources is a concert platform with the entrepreneurial sector of fisheries to overcome the constraints resulting for the activity of the sector.

On June 3, the DCCCD Board of Trustees recognized Cedar Valley College student athlete Benquan Petty for being one of 15 players in the country selected to the National Junior College Athletic Association Division III All-America Basketball Team. He was also recognized for his off-court achievements in volunteer work mentoring student athletes at the DeSoto Recreation Center and for representing Cedar Valley College as an outstanding student athlete in the community. The spring graduate will continue his academic and playing career at Lamar University in Beaumont, Texas.

"[Stuart] Miller said that his governing body tries as hard as it can to catch the cheats, which was another statement that left you puzzled. For anybody with even a passing knowledge of tennis knows that the authorities don't try very hard at all to expose the dopers in their sport. Their efforts are superficial and redolent of the UCI back in the day when they were holding back the tide by claiming cycling was clean."English nails it. Big time.
Update for our French-speaking readers: The transcript of Francesco Ricci-Bitti and Stuart Miller's appearance before the French Senate has been posted. It seems to me that the discussion regarding EPO testing is quite interesting, especially given the reports of suspicious blood values from Lance Armstrong back in 2001.

There is a curtain full of untouched nature, land rich of trails, activities, and outdoors wellness. Moving around freely in the winter or summer, learning to listen to the sounds of silence, enjoying the freshness of the wind and above all, to see what mother nature has given us as a gift.
The snowshoe trails described here, will take you to the most charming and beautiful Cortina basin, from the 5 Towers, to the pinnacles of the Croda da Lago, the famous and impressive Tre Cime di Lavaredo, to the enchanted mountain group of the Cadini Misurina. Snowshoes allow us to walk on snow without sinking too, making the trip enjoyable and fun.
No real danger, no particular technique, but only the pleasure of walking and moving over a vast mantle of white snow. Full days of intense physical movement, arms legs, days worked out in the aerobic, breathing the clean air that only the forest of the highlands we can give.

For its Hazelnut Crunch Chocolate Truffles
The Booja-Booja Company is a thriving business selling organic Chocolate Truffles and Alternative to Dairy Ice Cream throughout the UK and Europe, and Japan and Australia.
It began 18 years ago when Colin Mace began making truffles in his kitchen at home; experimenting with flavours and exciting ingredient combinations. The business did well and soon outgrew the domestic set up, prompting a move, in 1998, to small industrial premises near the village of Hempnall in Norfolk.
The success of this initial business gave the confidence and know-how to develop the vision further. After several years of research, product development and frustration, finally a range of chocolate truffles that were not only delicious but also organic and dairy free manifested. For the first time delicious, organic, dairy free truffles were launched into the world... and so The Booja-Booja Company was born.
Booja-Booja now makes two different ranges of chocolate truffles, one of which is made using chocolate actually produced in Ecuador, as part of an on-going partnership with a family-run Ecuadorian cocoa business. Not only is the chocolate used in these truffles produced in the country where the beans are grown it is also raw meaning that it is processed below 42c in order to retain its character and nutritional value. As the result of another long-term partnership, The Artists Collection Range are sold in exquisite boxes which are made and handpainted by a community of artists in Kashmir.
Organic agriculture is a non-negotiable part of the Booja-Booja Company. Whilst being unshakeably committed to deliciousness, they endeavour to take into account the well-being of all those who they come into contact with along the way. This includes suppliers, staff and customers; and the other living beings with which we share this planet.
Our judges said these chocolates 'look homemade' with a lovely smell of hazelnuts and a 'soft texture in the middle'.
They believe that organic farming offers a more benign and sustainable living and working environment for our wide range of ingredient growers around the world. And that, along with the many other attributes of our products, organic ingredients help to offer profound pleasure to customers in a more health friendly way.

answered Tuesday June 13 2006, 12:37 pm:
As other people have said, if you are really nervous, start out on smaller rollar coasters and work your way up to the larger ones. Normally the things you are most scared of, are most worth it. At Busch Gardens I was scared to death of Sheikra and almost didn't go on it, but I did and I don't regret it at all. In fact, it wasn't even the worst rollar coaster I've ever been on.
you might go on and have the best experience of your life or you might go on and have the worst. You don't know until you try.
(I suggest you dont go on a wooden rollar coaster though, they tend to give you whiplash)

Start out small and work onto bigger ones. Go on one of the smaller ones until your not scared anymore and then tackle the bigger ones. I went to hershey like 2 months ago and I was scared at first but I used this strategy. Just remember its more fun then scary. =]

on most rollarcoasters at cedar point, they take pictures. just imagine the fun your gonan have looking at the pictures after the rides of all of your faces. believe me, its pretty funny. and imagine how much better you'll feel after you go. you'll be able to say "yea, i went on the raptor at cedar point" not "i couldnt go on the raptor i was too scared". thats kinda embarressing, dont ya think. also, just when your in line, keep talking dont keep looking at the ride in motion. some people just keep staring and get so scared. but the others, it gets them more excited and ready to ride. we want to make you go from the first one to the other. just hold on and scream your heart out. it will be more fun, you will enjoy it more, the rush will make you go crazy (and it will turn out as a better picture :P). you can always start smaller. or you can go on a huge one. like the magnum. [ millenium is down for 2 months, and i really dont think youll be going on dragster (heh, i went may 31st) ] then you can be like well since i went on the magnum, i can do this. either way you take it, have an amazing time. cedar point is the best =)
hope this helps!! :] ♥

I got over my fear of roller coasters after my aunt and uncle kept pressuring me to go on The Hulk at Islands of Adventure in Orlando Florida. You should probably start out with smaller coasters, and then work your way up. When you're going down, close your eyes and grip the handle bar [if there is one].
Good luck!

PRESIDENT Michael Sata has said the Zambian economy will continue to grow as his Government has continued to promote a stable macro-economic environment.
He said on his facebook page yesterday that according to received preliminary data, the country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) grew by seven per cent in 2013 while inflation was on single digit ending the year at 7.1 per cent.
"Commercial banks' lending rates have also been on the decline, averaging 16.3 per cent in 2013 compared to an average of 19.1 per cent in 2012," he said.
Mr Sata said despite pressures on the external value of the Kwacha, the exchange rate moderately depreciated by 6.3 per cent compared to 5.7 per cent in 2012.
He said the performance of the exchange rate in 2013 was better than what was recorded in most sub-Saharan African countries.
He said he concurred with the views of the International Monetory Fund (IMF) that Zambia's economic growth would remain strong at seven to eight per cent and that inflation would also decline gradually to five per cent over the medium term.
"At this pace, I wish to assure the citizens that our Government will continue to foster a stable macroeconomic environment, which will be reflected in low and stable inflation and a competitive exchange rate as well as prudent fiscal management," he said.
Mr Sata said that the idea was to trigger more job opportunities and improve the people's general welfare especially with the unprecedented infrastructure development being undertaken such as the Link Zambia 8000 project, construction of 650 health posts, the upgrading of airports and aerodromes.
The President concluded that he has always been of service to Zambia and he would do his best for the country.

The fourth book in J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series.< read all 34 reviews
The story is, however, different in some ways from the previous ones. It's a lot darker and scarier, for one thing. Voldemort and his supporters play a prominent role in it, and their malice forms a palpable undercurrent in the plot from chapter one on. By the end of the story, you get to see just HOW evil Voldemort and his minions actually are. And let me tell you, they're pretty evil.
The other big difference is that Harry, Ron, Hermione and their friends are starting to grow up. The boys and girls have begun to notice each other now, and all the familiar problems of adolescence--jealousy, insecurity, fear of rejection, desire to fit in--or stand out--are starting to descend on them. I enjoy seeing the characters evolve in this way, but those who would rather they stay eternal 11-year-olds may be disappointed.
The story is not as self-contained as those in the previous books. Many plot lines are left open at the end, presumably to be resolved in books #5, 6, and 7. If you think you had a hard time waiting for "Goblet of Fire" to come out, wait till you finish it and are left thinking about the next one!
All in all, I highly recommend this book. If you're already a Harry Potter fan you won't be disappointed, and if you're not, reading it might very well make you one.
What did you think of this review?
Use Trust Points to see how much you can rely on this review.
Readers, we will cast a giant invisibility cloak over any more plot and reveal only that You-Know-Who is very much after Harry and that this year there will be no Quidditch matches between Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin. Instead, Hogwarts will vie with two other magicians' schools, the stylish Beauxbatons and the icy Durmstrang, in a Triwizard Tournament. Those chosen to compete will undergo three supreme tests. Could Harry be one of the lucky contenders?
But Quidditch buffs need not go into mourning: we get our share of this great game at the World Cup. Attempting to go incognito as Muggles, 100,000 witches and wizards converge on a "nice deserted moor." As ever, Rowling magicks up the details that make her world so vivid, and so comic.

IDLY studying a packet of Sainsbury's grissini breadsticks, Chris McManus noted with approval that they were "Torinesi grissini", so presumably from Turin. But the small print on the back says "Produced in Italy (incl. Vatican City)".
"Doesn't that suddenly transform both the Vatican and these humble breadsticks?" Chris observes. "Who would have thought that bakers toil at the back of St Peter's, hand-rolling grissini?" Then: "Are these, perhaps, Holy Grissini?"
Sainsbury's uses the slogan "Taste the Difference". Surely, Chris, we should be able to tell whether the grissini are holy.

I'm excited to announce we're removing the beta tag from SocialCalc, the world's first social spreadsheet. Today marks the 30th anniversary that SocialCalc's creator Dan Bricklin released VisiCalc, the original spreadsheet and "killer app" that launched the PC revolution. SocialCalc enables large and distributed teams to collaborate across spreadsheets, as an alternative to playing e-mail volleyball with Excel(TM) attachments. Many of our customers have already been having great success using SocialCalc in conjunction with our Socialtext Workspaces (wikis) and Socialtext Signals (microblogging).
Meredith Corporation, for example, publishes more than 20 magazines, including Better Homes & Garden and Ladies' Home Journal. Typically, marketing teams at several magazines would input data from new subscriber campaigns into their own spreadsheets. Then, they would e-mail them to Meredith's consumer marketing department, where they would be laboriously compiled into another master spreadsheet. Now, with SocialCalc, that data can be shared online and in a central location, with the necessary security and version control required by a large enterprise like Meredith. SocialCalc also enables flexible roll-up reporting of key indicators for executives.
"I used to get 10 e-mails a day from different people with these reports," said Dave Ball, Meredith's vice president of consumer marketing. "Now, with SocialCalc, I can go in at one point in the day and see what's going on in all our active campaigns right now. It helps us distribute information and knowledge faster, so we can react more quickly."
Seeing Meredith's implementation has been particularly gratifying for our SocialCalc Product Lead Dan Bricklin, who has watched the spreadsheet evolve so much over the years. On October 19th, 1979, Bricklin's publisher received the first shipment of the completed VisiCalc package and sent a shrink-wrapped copy to his home in Massachusetts. VisiCalc has been credited with helping launch the revolution of personal computers because it gave the machines a practical use for consumers and businesses. But while the sophistication and speed of spreadsheet programs advanced with the computing industry in the following years, most have failed to capitalize on the power of social technologies and the real-time advantages of the Web to speed the flow of work.
"SocialCalc is the next logical step for the spreadsheet," Bricklin said. "As we move into the social world, as typified by a wiki where there is one current copy that everyone can work from, the spreadsheet needs to move there, too."
In fact, for years, companies have struggled to update and maintain spreadsheets that reflect the real-time work being done by their employees. Typically, teams e-mail around Excel attachments or upload files to a shared drive, leaving managers unsure about the current state of the business. Although online spreadsheets have replicated aspects of Excel in a web browser, they lack the social capabilities of SocialCalc. This includes the ability for spreadsheets to integrate with enterprise wikis, microblogging tools and social networking profiles like those found in the Socialtext platform.
SocialCalc is immediately available for trial and for current customers in the October Appliance release. It costs $3 per user per month. New customers who purchase the full Socialtext platform in 2009 get SocialCalc without charge for 2010. Current customers that participated in the beta program get SocialCalc without charge for 2009.

What do you do at Covenant?
Programmer/Analyst for the IT department.
What drew you to Covenant?
I was a student at Covenant before I became an employee. When I visited for preview weekend, I loved the beautiful campus and the friendly people. But what really sold me on Covenant was that Christ was so evident on this campus. One of the students sat down to talk with me on one of the benches in the chapel green. During our conversation, she shared her testimony with me and then asked me to share mine. It was at that moment that I knew Covenant was a place that would encourage me in my walk with the Lord. A good education is important, but even the best education in the world is useless without a growing relationship with Jesus Christ.
What is unique about working at Covenant?
Working at a place I love and doing something that I enjoy.
What is your favorite place on campus?
The first place that comes to mind is my old dorm room on 4th South in Carter, where as students we stood in awe of God's beautiful sunrises, or occasionally looked down on the white, puffy clouds that overshadowed Chattanooga and gave that building its name: "the castle in the clouds."
What has been your favorite experience working at Covenant?
I love going to the convocation chapel at the beginning of each school year. It is amazing to see (and hear) everyone's excitement, to see the new faculty and the freshman class that God has led to Covenant, and to sing the college hymn, "All for Jesus," each year. It is a great reminder of why we are all here.
What is your favorite part of the day at Covenant?
Early morning, especially at sunrise.
How does your work at Covenant interact with your faith?
I have had some incredible conversations with co-workers about God, controversial issues, or a recent chapel service.
Describe your experience of the Covenant Community:
The Covenant community is not limited to our campus here on Lookout Mountain. Through our Covenant College alumni page on Facebook, View, and our day-to-day interaction with one another, we can see and marvel at the way God is working in each of our lives. Those of us who have experienced Covenant—whether as student or employee—have a bond that does not end when we leave this place. We continue to pray for one another, to represent Covenant, and to give of ourselves (our time and our resources) so that Covenant can continue in her mission.
What would you tell someone considering a job at Covenant?
Working at Covenant is more than just a job; it is becoming part of a Christ-centered community. Every position here at Covenant is a valuable contribution to our mission to "explore and express the pre-eminence of Christ in all things. We educate Christians to engage culture, to examine and unfold creation, and to pursue biblical justice and mercy in community." This mission is not just for students; it is for the entire Covenant community. I have worked at Covenant for over twenty years, and the most rewarding thing about working here is seeing how God has worked in the lives of our faculty, staff, and students to further his kingdom. Please prayerfully consider if God is leading you to join us.

What do you do at Covenant?
Maintenance/heating, ventilation, and air conditioning
What drew you to Covenant?
I had heard from a friend who had attended the College how wonderful it was, and she promised me that if I ever took employment there I would never go anywhere else. Ultimately it was the Lord's desire for me to be here, as he continued to open some doors and close others. He made his sovereignty very obvious and let me see that his timing was impeccable.
What is unique about working at Covenant?
I think that one of the most unique things about Covenant is the spirit of everyone here. It is obvious that folks are genuinely concerned with each other's struggles and that they are very sincere about lifting each other up.
What is your favorite place on campus?
There are so many wonderful places here but I suppose I like the breathtaking views—sunrises and sunsets on either brow—best. The College always looks so good year round and I think that is due to the great grounds crew we have and their dedication to making it look that way.
What has been your favorite experience working at Covenant?
Without a doubt the best part of the day is the very beginning, when we as a maintenance department gather prior to work and share our prayer requests and lift them up to the Lord. We pray daily for the College, the faculty, staff, and students, among other things. I truly love the fellowship that I share with the men in the maintenance department and consider myself extremely fortunate to be surrounded by men like them.
How does your work at Covenant interact with your faith?
When I came back from a deployment to Iraq, I found out that my employment at my previous job was going to come to an end. Never once did I ever worry about work or provisions for my family. Matthew 6:26 tells us that the Lord feeds the sparrow, and how much more are we worth than them? Just having the job at Covenant was proof that he not only wanted to bless me but he wanted to show his faithfulness to me. When we feel distant from the Lord it is because we moved, not him. He is faithful to us and we should strive to be faithful to him.
Describe your experience of the Covenant Community:
Well, it has been wonderful up to this point and I can't see it being any other way. I consider it a treat to get up each day and make the journey up the mountain.
What would you tell someone considering a job at Covenant?
First I would make sure that they weren't applying for mine and then I would tell them to come on up!
Deborah Kirby
Associate Professor of Theatre
Dallas, Texas
What did you do before coming to Covenant?
Legal secretary by day, theater producer, director and actor by night
What brought you to Covenant?
I got a call from Camille Hallstrom at just the right time as I had been praying for an opportunity to teach theater on the college level so I could leave legal secretarial work.
What is it like teaching at Covenant?
It has been a tremendous experience on so many levels. I am learning every day from the faculty, administration, staff, and, of course, the students. And each day God is teaching and blessing me in both large and small ways.
What is your favorite place on campus?
Although I don't get to spend near enough time there – the library is one of my favorite places on campus. I have always loved libraries and Covenant's library is no exception.
How does your work at Covenant interact with your faith?
I have been a Christian in the world of theater for almost thirty years and have had both struggles and blessings as I tried to remain faithful in that world. I find now, working at Covenant, that I have found a place to share and teach from my experiences.
What would you say to someone considering a job at Covenant?
Covenant is a very special and unique place to work. Not only does the most gorgeous scenery around surround us but also the presence of God is felt from every angle of encounter – whether that is from humanity to nature to study. In every area I know that I have been richly and abundantly blessed and I think most people at Covenant feel the same way.
Tom Neiles
Professor of Modern Languages
Carlisle, Pennsylvania
What did you do before coming to Covenant?
I worked as a teacher of French and German at Annapolis High School (Annapolis, Maryland) for 31 years. At Covenant, I currently teach Elementary German II (102), Advanced German Structure & Stylistics (342), Intermediate French II (202) and French Literature of the Eighteenth Century (352).
What brought you to Covenant?
I began teaching at Covenant in the fall of 2000. As a member of a PCA congregation, I knew about Covenant and its great reputation but had never considered teaching here because I did not have a doctoral degree in French or German. When Dr. Jeff Hall called me to consider teaching here, I was absolutely thrilled and could not believe that I was being viewed as a candidate. This would be a dream come true, to teach at a Christian college! Over a two-year period, the College, my family, and I were in prayer and discussion about this major change of events since not everyone was as on board as I was, but when it became very clear that this was indeed God's plan, the wheels were set in motion and the move was made. The opportunity to share my love of French and German with the students of Covenant was simply a gift from the Lord. There is no other way to explain all that was transpiring in the life of the Neiles family.
What is it like teaching at Covenant?
Teaching at Covenant is a unique challenge for me, coming from 31 years in the public educational arena. Because of my growing discontentment with the direction of public education in Maryland, the freedom to teach in a nurturing Christian environment was not an aspect of this opportunity which I took for granted. At Covenant one's gifts and interests are actually encouraged. One is viewed as an expert in one's field, even though there is, of course, always so much more to learn and experience. During the interview process I remember being told that the direction of the French and German programs would be under my care. I was thrilled with this responsibility and was – and still am – excited to be a part of the mission of Covenant College.
What is your favorite place on campus?
It is really difficult to name one favorite place on campus. I love being with students in class or at meal time as they work their way through the intricacies of language. It is a pleasure to spend time with them in and out of class. One of my surprises at Covenant is knowing that the students actually want to get to know their professors. I hope above all that they are able to see beyond the textbook material to the opportunities which the knowledge of a foreign language opens to them in their lives. God has created language for man to express himself to others: his innermost feelings, his dreams. An American's willingness to humble himself in learning another's language is a wonderful testimony to non-English speakers. (I state specifically the word American because we are seen by others in the world as those often not willing to take the time to learn another's language and culture.)
How does your work at Covenant interact with your faith?
There is constant interaction between my work and my faith at Covenant. I am always amazed by the broad band of knowledge and interest, as well as the wisdom of my colleagues and students. I am always challenged to know more about the world around me as topics are discussed and thrown about. One of the great discoveries in my life has been the joy of being challenged here as an individual, in family living, in teaching, in serving others. Each day the Lord provides to me comes with its disappointments and joys, but we know as Christians that what we do with these challenges has much to do with who we are and are becoming in Christ. Knowing that God sent His son to live a sinless life and to die on the cross for my sins, despite my continually rebellious nature, is a constant reminder of God's love and mercy for me. It is my purpose as a teacher not only to instruct but to model before my students a life which reflects my thankfulness to God for His immeasurable grace. It is my hope that a welcoming atmosphere exists in the classroom I share with my students so that the student enjoys learning French or German and is not afraid to ask questions or make mistakes.
Since my arrival at Covenant I have been able, through the generosity and encouragement of the College administration, to complete work for a doctoral degree in French and German from Middlebury College. With this degree the College is now able to provide majors in both languages. Working alongside others to construct a framework for both majors has been a thrilling experience. I have served on the College's athletic committee and social committee and am presently serving on the faculty status committee.
What would you say to someone considering a job at Covenant?
Covenant College is a great place to grow, even as an "empty nester" or even in a second career such as mine. The attraction of living in or near Chattanooga is a positive aspect to consider as well. What a pleasure it is to go downtown or into the mountains for an event or simply to walk around! The opportunities to exercise one's faith at Covenant provide one with a Christian community of support and encouragement.
Doug Simons
Head Baseball Coach
Calabasas, California; now Lookout Mountain, Georgia
What do you do at Covenant?
I am the head baseball coach.
When did you start working at Covenant?
August 2005
What drew you to Covenant?
I wanted to go to Covenant out of high school, but they didn't have an intercollegiate baseball program. God brought me back to Covenant to start an intercollegiate baseball program for others like me. The Christian atmosphere is the biggest draw here at Covenant.
What is unique about working at Covenant?
Again, the Christian atmosphere is what makes Covenant unique. It's a small taste of heaven.
Favorite place on campus:
The baseball field.
What has been your favorite experience working at Covenant?
My favorite experience working at Covenant is getting to know the students and being involved in their lives.
What's your favorite part of the day at Covenant?
Getting on the field with the team has to be my favorite part of the day.
How does your work at Covenant interact with your faith?
It's one and the same. Working at Covenant is just living out your faith and teaching others to do the same. It's encouraging being around so many young brothers and sisters in Christ.
Describe your experience of the Covenant community.
I think Covenant is totally unique to the college experience. We play a lot of Christian colleges and none of them gives off the salt and light like Covenant. I've been blessed to be able to work and live in a community like this.
What would you tell someone considering a job at Covenant?
If you love Jesus and want to work at a college in some capacity, there is no better place.
Amy Smith
Coordinator of Volunteers
Odessa, Ukraine
What do you do at Covenant?
I serve as the coordinator of volunteers. My job is to connect alumni, parents and friends of Covenant to the College through the giving of their time, connections, and resources. I also oversee the recruitment efforts for the Wilberforce Scholars program.
When did you start working at Covenant?
What drew you to Covenant?
As an alumna, the possibility of working at Covenant had always existed in the back of mind. When the opportunity to return to Covenant arose in 2008, I was drawn to the opportunity to share a place that had been so meaningful to me with others and the opportunity to work with like-minded people towards a common goal. I was particularly drawn to working in the admissions office because I was excited about bringing people to a place where they could be equipped to do amazing work for the Kingdom.
What is unique about working at Covenant?
Coming from another work environment to Covenant, I think the most unique thing is the like-minded sense of mission shared by faculty, staff and administration.
Favorite place on campus:
As a student, my favorite place was Carter tower. Getting to go up to the top of the tower each Day of Prayer and look out over the campus and the valley are memories I will always treasure. As a staff member, I've come to love the benches placed in the nooks and crannies of the campus—a great place for lunch on a sunny day.
What has been your favorite experience working at Covenant?
Move-in day every year.
What's your favorite part of the day at Covenant?
My favorite part of the day at Covenant is midafternoon when the weather is good. Everyone finds an excuse to be outside, and the campus feels alive.
How does your work at Covenant interact with your faith?
At Covenant, we continually talk about expressing our motto, "in all things Christ preeminent," by engaging the head, the heart, and the hands. As the coordinator of volunteers, I am continually challenged and am challenging others to see how they can give of their time to further the kingdom. I also appreciate how present prayer is in our work life at Covenant. I work for and with individuals who are continually seeking the Lord in their actions.
Describe your experience of the Covenant community.
My experience with the Covenant community has been unique. Growing up on the mission field, I knew what it was like to be a part of a small group of people working towards a common end, but coming to Covenant has expanded that concept for me. The community at Covenant really seeks to care for not only the individuals but their souls.
What would you tell someone considering a job at Covenant?
I would tell them that to work at Covenant you need to not only be passionate about the work you are doing but passionate about what Covenant is doing.
Pauline Snyder
Facilities Services Support Staff
Savannah, Georgia
What do you do at Covenant?
I'm a housekeeping supervisor of work-study and practical-service students in Brock Hall and the library.
What drew you to Covenant?
My daughter started working here during the summer program. At the time I was working for myself, doing housekeeping. My daughter told me about the summer program and told me that I would definitely love it if I came and tried out for a job. I was hired for the summer program. At the end of that first summer, I wanted to work here so badly, because I had fallen in love with this place, so I went to the kitchen to see if they needed help and worked there for a while. The next summer I applied again to the summer program. At the end of that summer, in August 2000, they hired me full time.
What is unique about working at Covenant?
The people and the community here and the spiritual part of Covenant is special. I love working with the students, especially the freshmen that are just coming in. It's the first time away from home for many of them, and I like helping them transition into life at Covenant.
Favorite place on campus:
Room 313 in Brock Hall, in the morning, while the sun is rising.
What has been your favorite experience working at Covenant?
Getting through to students how important it is to have God in their lives. They need to know that God brought them here for a reason and how important it is to find out what that reason is and take it with them when they leave.
What's your favorite part of the day at Covenant?
Seven o'clock in the morning, when I walk through the door, and my students that are supposed to be at work are at work. I know then that I've gotten through to them how important it is to be responsible.
How does your work at Covenant interact with your faith?
I get to talk with students about God all the time and share stories about how God has worked in my life. I've had students who read the Bible in my office with me, and we work out a lot of life problems together.
Describe your experience of the Covenant community.
They're the most loving and caring group of people that I have ever worked with. I go to the same church with several of them, and our church relationship carries over into work here. The carry-over makes it like family.
What would you tell someone considering a job at Covenant?
To me, Covenant is like a little piece of heaven up here on the mountain. I can't think of another job I would want to have. I feel as if I am exactly where I am supposed to be, doing exactly what I am supposed to do, and I am truly grateful.

Cristina Roasted Beet Salad With Wild Arugula & Goat Cheese
serves 6
Go to COOKING"Home & Family" for today's recipe
- ½ cup pignoli (pine) nuts
- 7 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 pounds beets
- 6 cups of baby or wild arugula and micro greens, washed and dried
- 6 ounces goat cheese
- 6 teaspoons reduced balsamic vinegar dressing*
- Kosher salt to taste
- Cracked pepper to taste
- Place the pignoli nuts in a small dry frying pan and turn the stove to medium-high heat. Shake the pan back and forth until the nuts have started to turn golden, approximately 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Pour 2 teaspoons of olive oil in the palm of your hand and rub the beets all over to coat.
- Place the beets on a baking dish whole and bake for 1 hour at 400 degrees or until tender. To check for doneness, insert a sharp paring knife through the middle of the thickest part of the beet. If the knife goes through all the way smoothly, the beets are done.
- Remove beets from the oven and cool completely. Peel the beets under running water and cut them into thin slices.
- Cut each beet into thin slices, about ¼ inch thick. Spread 1 teaspoon of goat cheese in between beet slices, like making a sandwich. Your beet should be put back together as if it was a whole beet again.
- Cover beets with plastic wrap, set in container, and let cool in fridge for an hour.
- Unwrap beets and cut in quarters.
- Arrange beets on a salad plate.
- Toss the arugula and micro greens with a sprinkle of kosher salt. Place 1 cup of arugula and a handful of micro greens on the plate.
- Drizzle 1-2 teaspoons of balsamic syrup (the reduced balsamic vinegar) and 1 tablespoon of olive oil over each serving.
- Sprinkle pignoli nuts over salad. Add kosher salt and cracked pepper to taste.
- Repeat the assembly procedure for the other 5 servings!
*Balsamic Syrup (Reduced Balsamic Vinegar)
Makes ½ cup
- 1 (16.9 fluid-ounce) bottle balsamic vinegar
- Pour the whole bottle of vinegar into a small saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Lower heat to medium-high and continue to boil until the vinegar starts to thicken and forms a syrup-like consistency, about 15 to 20 minutes. Be careful not to thicken too much or you will end up with a thick black goop. To test, use a wooden spoon. If the syrup coats the back of the spoon, it is ready to remove from the heat.
- Let it cool to room temperature before you store in the refrigerator. I use a needle-nose plastic bottle to store my glaze after it has cooled. It will last up to 2 months in the refrigerator. It's very concentrated, so a tiny bit goes a long way!

(Usually) Problem solved. Sometimes for more $$ than original! Ask me about my Pro Team Indurain saddle. :bluduh OR the 3 Campy Omega XL clincher rims I HAD to have. :baldy Or...
Thanks G, guess I'll try a few out, try to move around a little more too.
SO... if yer toodling, standing up every 10min or so is a good thing. Let blood flow back into that spot.
I've got 7 of the same saddle, I think. And only 4 are on bikes. As soon as I found out they were discontinued, I went out and got a few more years stock.
Unfortunately, I end up bending rails every year or two mountain biking and have to retire one.
Cold, weak, and out of shape
I haven't been riding nearly as many total miles for the last couple of months; The major reason for this is that my commute has gone from 80-100 miles per week to about 20. And cold weather and a new hobby (rock climbing) have cut down on my recreational rides.
So I decided I'd try to do a century today; It's only been a couple of months since I was doing 100-150 mile weeks, surely I couldn't have lost too much endurance, right? Got all my gear/goo/etc. together last night, checked out the bike, etc. Set the alarm clock for 7am, wanted to get on the road by 8.
This morning I rolled out of bed at 8:15 and didn't get on the bike until 9:30. After 15 miles, I knew the century wasn't happening; Even if my pace didn't slacken as I got tired (yeah, right), there was no way I'd be home at any kind of reasonable hour. And while the new wool jersey was doing a nice job of keeping my upper body warm and the tights were doing a good job on my legs, my toes and fingers were getting uncomfortably numb.
At this point I started bargaining with myself -- I'd alter my route a bit and shoot for 35 miles, get home early enough that I have time to make a big pot of soup for the week.
As soon as I changed direction, some sunlight started reaching my toes and fingers, and they started to feel better. The road smoothed out a bit and the scenery got nicer, and so I started renegotiating my goal upward. I ended up deciding I'd turn around and head home when I crossed the I-495 loop around Boston (my mental threshold for a "long" ride). That'd have me over 50 miles by the time I got back home.
I made that goal (53 miles total for the day), but it hurt. I couldn't maintain very good speed on the flats, and moderate climbs made me want to fold up and die. Sometimes I'd get up a good head of steam on a descent, but couldn't really hold on to that momentum to get me up the next rise.
Obviously I need to get out and ride more.
I don't think I could do a century at the moment. The Bonfante ride is still marked on the roads 'round here. I've been tempted to try and follow their route(s) to see how the ride was. Its been a 'roundtoit.'
I'm gonna hop on my bike here in a bit and take the long way to work. 90+ min of spinning along, working for 5 hours and spinning 40-ish min home. I weighed myself the other nite trying to figger out shipping on a Corbin saddle. 202! :eek1 'Course that was with jeans on, so I think I'm still under the magic 200# barrier I set for myself.
Went running last nite 'cause of that scale thing. :bluduh WHY IS IT that I can ride for a few hours, but 30min of running feels like an eternity? :ear
Off to :ricky
SI Flite TA. I liked the TA upgrade from the Flites back in '99? and switched over. Ti rails. Being over 180+lbs at race weight doesn't help, either. I envy the little people whose chins just come up to my saddle height and weigh 120 lbs.
Running (and a nasty fall while bouldering that tweaked my hip and a subsequent mountaineering trip up to Alaska with a way too heavy pack) is what exacerbated the IT band. But I blame it mostly on the running.
I've got just enough light left to see if I can put in 40-50 miles before it gets dark - hopefully without pain. Outta here.
I got my first new bike ride in today. Brrrrrr and Ouch. Need a comfier seat and season appropriate clothing. Who's got advice?
Me: 5 8", 220 lbs,
Bike: Fuji Roubaix, 52 cm frame. (My first road bike)
I think my toes just thawed out. :D
The seat's such a personal thing that I'm not gonna touch it. I will say that softer ain't better once you ride more'n about an hour or so. :nah Its the SHAPE of the seat that's important. (see above)
All righty then... clothing (guess what I'm doing for a living right now?)
What you wanna start with is a good base layer. Craft if you wanna afford it. I LOVE my pair of the warmer Craft base layers for winter riding. Keep you way warm with little bulk. Windproof fronts are not needed 'cause typically you'll have on a vest or jacket. I wore my mid-weight Craft stuff home tonite and was warm by the time I got home. (its in the low 50s/upper 40s right now) Nike also makes a good base. Ditto with D-Feet. LOVE their un-d-shirt when its warmer! Pearl Izumi has good stuff, but it ain't cycling specific in their cuts. I told em about that...
Then go with a decent jersey. The Kodiak Lite stuff from my employer is pretty good. The Team Jersey is a more appropriate weight if yer layering, but it also depends on how cold you are as a person. I have some older Tommaso stuff that still works that's mid-weight. Bright ass yellow. :nod :thumb
Vest or jacket. Depends on you as a person. Typically I'll stay with a vest and be fine, but YMMV. I sell a boatload of Zephyrr jackets and vests... Stay away from heavy stuff. If you gotta add fleece, do it with a windproof front/regular back and don't wear a vest/jacket. Too much insulation and you'll get colder from sweating than the outside air. DAMHIK
Feet. Toe booties or booties. Depends on how cold it is. I'll switch to full booties somewhere in the upper to mid 30s. Till then, I'm in toe booties. Calien Toes are pretty good. Ditto with the PBS stuff that wraps around yer foot and velcros to the back. (my PBS toe booties are still going strong after ~10 years :deal) I have some ancient Sidi booties that are way overkill, look ridiculous, but keep my feet toasty. Wool socks are key too. Insulating when they're wet (sweaty feet) is a good way to stay warmer. Lotsa people make the 'Lance length' socks buy some.
Hands: I've owned a pair of PI Pittards Therma Fleece gloves since the late 80s. Gone thru two pair... Warm without being overkill. When it gets really cold, I've got some Lobster Claw gloves. Gloves, like seats are one of the things that everyone's so different that I'm gonna leave this at this and move on to...
Headwear: you need to cover yer melon or you're GOING to get cold. 'Course this only applies when it gets farging :vardy out. Till then you need the heat sink ability of yer head. 90% or so of yer heat escapes thru yer melon... Keep it warm and dry and the body will follow. PI makes a Microsensor Skull Cap that's about to make its way into my collection... I have a Patagonia silk-weight balaclava that works well too. Ditto with my PBS polypro stuff that's about ancient as hell. Upside to balaclavas is that you can pull em over yer mouth when its blue cold. Downside is that every time you breathe out, yer glasses fog. :cry Alternatively, Luis Garneau still makes a waterproof helmet cover. I'd like to try one before I recommend them.
Personal favs: Assos Roubaix Bib Knickers Mmmmmm :tb Assos. WAY spendy and worth every fucking dime.
Craft base layers. Who better than Scandanavians to know about keeping warm in the winter?
Patagonia Capilene. Mid-weight works very well as an insulating layer when its cold. Again, spendy and worth it.
Wool jerseys. Don't get em wet or cowboys are gonna be in lust! The original hi-perf fabrics! :nod
Bib shorts. Keeps you from having a plumber's crack on the bike. :nod Listen to me now, hear me later! :nod
I miss anything?
The man what he speaks of. Except for assos, I have all of the above and it's rock solid advice. I've had assos and it's the Shiz but I ride with team gear so I have no reasons to spring for it.
I went on a great one today up Bolinas Ridge in Marin County and I wish I wore my wool jersey just for the positive Cali Pagan earth vibe. Beautiful day, BFM (Big Fucking Moon) Coyote, ocean views, as stunning a location as you can imagine and great California weather (ie: shorts with bare legs, no gloves, no base just a long sleeve jersey)
Hey Gummee, what did I miss, where are ya working?
Did I mention I'm leaving Cali on Wednesday for the Freezer locker of the 'cross circuit and I forgot to pack anything of any kind for the legs? (That's not totally true; I have one silver team leg warmer and one red team knee warmer but that's almost worse than having nothing) We drive up to Vancouver in a couple days, fly to Rhode Island next week and a week after that I'm we're off to Belgium to photo Americans racing cross. I'm even taking my bike but......but: If I don't do something about my Cali based clothing collection in a hurry I'm going to freeze my ass off.
Leg Warmers/ Knee Warmers? Speak to me brotha?
Too bad we didn't get a chance to ride, I had a great time while I was here and I managed to slowly roll myself back into quasi-decent shape which beats the hell outta the place I was back in early fall.
Hey Plan B,
I'm working at the Pearl Izumi outlet in Gilroy. Least till 2Jan07 and then I'm gonzo.
Flagstaff bound! :nod :thumb
I'm stocking up on the colder weather stuff I donated to my little brother when I left VA. :baldy Never figgered on needing it again and now I do! :bluduh
Oh well. At least my new stuff'll be 14 years newer! :thumb

Khmer ceramics are unique in the Asian ceramic tradition and reflect an indigenous culture free of other influences. Unlike other Southeast Asian ceramics, the Khmer products were made solely for local use and not for export. Fundamentally a peasant pottery, the wares were not used by the wealthy due to the fierce competition offered by the technically superior, imported Chinese celadons and porcelains. Many of the pieces have a sculptural presence and serenity comparable to Khmer sculpture. This vase would have been a temple fitting, used for holding lotus blossoms in Buddhist ceremonies.
