I'm not sure if this is a stupid question. If it is, my apologies...
I live in Denver, have been riding a fixie for a while, and I'm really interested in trying my hand at racing. Anyways, I believe the Colo. Springs velodrome has a beginner's class/workshop at the start of the season. My question is: Can I start racing in the middle of the season? Do I have to wait for the beginner's class next year?
Also, are most people who race there members of a team? Does that matter?
Thanks in advance for the help!!!

Friday marks the two-year anniversary of the tragic shooting of Lawrence "Larry" King, a 15-year-old eighth-grader from E.O. Green Junior High in Oxnard, Calif., who was killed by a classmate because of his sexual orientation and gender expression.
Vigils to remember Larry King and bring attention to the need to address anti-LGBT violence in schools will take place across the country. To find one in your area or to register a vigil or event, visit http://www.rememberinglawrence.org/.
Here's a look back at some celebrity PSAs done to remember Larry and raise awareness.

>Two Iowa Republican state legislators have introduced a bill that would remove sexual orientation and gender identity/expression from a list of enumerated categories already listed in the state's anti-bullying law.
The reason, beyond wanting to see LGBT students bullied? To use children as pawns.
Schultz told NBC affiliate WHO-TV that the rationale behind the move is to force a vote on a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage, since the Iowa Supreme Court pointed to laws like Iowa's Safe Schools Law in making its April decision to legalize same-sex marriage.
Iowa Pride Network Executive Director Ryan Roemerman summed it up well.
"When our state is facing record budget deficits and unemployment, House Republicans feel their time is best spent picking on Iowa's LGBT youth."
Iowa Pride Network also recently released its 2009 Iowa School Climate Survey, which found that more than 3 out of 4 Iowa LGBT students had been verbally harassed because of their sexual orientation.

>Last week, U.S. Representative Jared Polis and 60 bipartisan cosponsors introduced the Student Non-Discrimination Act (SNDA), a bill that would institute protections in public schools against discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity/expression.
Federal law already prohibits discrimination in schools on the basis of race, nationality, gender, religion and disability, and it's great that Solis and other members of Congress understand the need to extend these statutes. As GLSEN's 2007 National School Climate Survey revealed, nearly 9 in 10 LGBT middle and high school students have faced some form of bullying or harassment--whether verbal or physical--in school. Passing and enacting SNDA is a huge step forward in combating these alarming figures.
SNDA has already seen wide support from an array of professional and advocacy organizations, such as the American Civil Liberties Union, the Human Rights Campaign, the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force Action Fund and the School Social Work Association (not to mention GLSEN!). Recently, the National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP) threw its support behind SNDA, citing the detrimental effects that bullying and harassment can have on students' emotional well-being and academic performance. As NAASP's Executive Director, Gerald N. Tirozzi, stated:
A safe and secure learning environment is vital to the educational success of all students...This legislation will enhance the ability of teachers and administrators to deliver a valuable education in public schools that are free of bullying, harassment and other forms of harmful discrimination.
It's great to see that national education organizations such as NASSP recognize the need to protect and best serve all students, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity/expression. Be sure to stay tuned to the GLSEN Blog--we'll be providing updates about SNDA as the bill moves forward in Congress!

>Rep. Jared Polis introduced the Student Non-Discrimination Act last week to protect students from discrimination on the basis of actual or perceived sexual orientation and gender identity/expression.
Chris Johnson from DC Agenda, whose staff comprises much of the former Washington Blade reporters and editors, wrote a nice article about the bill, including some good news from the White House.
The White House also expressed support for the legislation in response to a query from DC Agenda.
"The president believes that every child should learn in a safe and secure school environment," said Shin Inouye, a White House spokesperson.

February 04, 2010
>GLSEN Public Policy Association Alison Gill takes a look at a positive development in the Department of Justice in terms of interpreting Title IX to include protections from discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity/expression.
After a decade of virtually no enforcement, the Department of Justice has once again taken an interest in issues of sex and gender discrimination in schools. The Department of Justice intervened in the case of Sullivan v. Mohawk Central School District et al., which was originally brought by the NY Civil Liberties Union on behalf of a 14-year-old gay boy named Jacob who attended the Mohawk Central School District in New York.
Jacob suffered a pattern of harassment and abuse by fellow students and even teachers, including verbal harassment, assault and physical harm, and destruction of his property. Although Jacob and his supportive family reported this abuse to his school principal and other school authorities promptly and regularly, no action was taken to protect Jacob. For a complete account of the harassment perpetuated on Jacob and the school administration's refusal to act, you can read the affidavits of Jacob and his father.
The Department of Justice is pursuing this suit under Title 9 of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which does not allow students "on the basis of sex, [to] be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance." 20 U.S.C. § 1681(a). While this law explicitly covers sex discrimination, DOJ lawyers argue that the law also covers discrimination based on gender stereotypes — that is to say, boys who are beaten up for being effeminate. While some courts have ruled that Title IX covers gender expression and sexual orientation, the law is uncertain in this area. This case may help to establish this principle more generally.
Of course all children are entitled to a safe and nurturing space in which to learn. Unfortunately, the type of bullying and harassment from which Jacob suffered is all too common for LGBT students in schools around the country. GLSEN's research shows that 60.8% of LGBT students feel unsafe at school because of their sexual orientation, and only about a third of students who reported incidents of victimization to school staff said that the problem was addressed effectively.
While the Department of Justice intervention shows a renewed interest in protecting the rights of LGBT students, Jacob's case again demonstrates the need for anti-bullying policies and legislation so that schools can take steps to prevent this sort of harassment in the first place.

>Fred Phelps and his Westboro Baptist Church really don't like LGBT people. This isn't news to anyone who's heard of his "church." It's also not news to the many high schools WBC has protested for having a Gay-Straight Alliance, a favorite target of WBC.
Wanting to make the most of their protesting trips around the country, WBC also will protest anything American because, if you don't stand with WBC, you're against WBC. Sometimes it's military funerals (don't try to find logic in it). Last week it was Twitter.
And where WBC goes, counter-protesters usually follow. Take last week's clever counter-protest outside Twitter.
We get asked every so often about how best to respond to WBC protests. Attention is what WBC wants, so local organizers should think twice about whether a counter-protest is the best course of action. The Anti-Defamation League says "resist directly engaging."
The antidote to hate speech is good speech. Spread positive messages of tolerance and respect throughout the community. Discuss openly how hateful speech can poison a community. Notably, we do not recommend holding counter-protests or educational events at the same location as, or close to, the protest.
GLSEN also worries about student safety. While WBC seems to have remained peaceful in their protests, counter-protesters sometimes get agitated. WBC feeds off such reaction and frankly would love nothing more than to have a reason to sue someone. It's how WBC funds a lot of its hatred.
Deciding to ignore is always difficult but probably the correct approach. What do you all think?

>GLSEN's longstanding research has shown for nearly 10 years that LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) students face pervasive bullying and harassment in school. Nearly 9 out of 10 LGBT youth experience harassment at school in the past year because of their sexual orientation, according to GLSEN's 2007 National School Climate Survey.
As we prepare to release findings from the 2009 National School Climate Survey later this year, a new study conducted by doctors at Nationwide Children's Hospital corroborates what GLSEN has found for years.
The act and victimization of bullying continues to be a problem among today's youth. While many children are experiencing this form of violence, it is more prevalent in children that are different from the social norm. As medical professionals continue to further their understanding of bullying, research shows a high rate of sexual minority youth who experience this harmful activity.
A new study conducted by doctors at Nationwide Children's Hospital found that sexual minority youth, or teens that identify themselves as gay, lesbian or bisexual, are bullied two to three times more than heterosexuals.
According to the study that is now available online in the Journal of Adolescent Health, sexual minority youth are more vulnerable to a variety of physical and mental domains such as bullying or suicidal thoughts. Plus, the study found that many older adolescents reported being bullied.
For more of GLSEN's groundbreaking research, including reports on the experiences of transgender students in school and LGBT students of color in school, visit the research section on our website, www.glsen.org/research.

>A proposed law to prohibit discussion of any sexual orientation in Tennessee schools other than heterosexuality, sometimes called "No Promo Homo" laws, was essentially killed for another year yesterday. GLSEN Public Policy Associate Alison Gill talks about how GLSEN supporters like you can make a difference in defeating bad policies like this.
Last week the Tennessee Transgender Political Coalition (TTPC) told us about a scary bill moving through the K-12 Education Subcommittee of the Tennessee House. HB0821, also called the "Don't Say Gay" bill, would prevent Tennessee teachers and schools from discussing sexual orientation other than heterosexuality. A law like this can make LGBT students feel invisible and could cut them off from resources they need, such as supportive teachers.
When TTPC told us that the K-12 Subcommittee was to consider the bill this Wednesday, we emailed an Action Alert to our networks in Tennessee, warning them about the bill. Fortunately, we have very strong networks in Tennessee thanks to a lot of great local organizing by GLSEN supporters and student leaders such as Conrad Honicker.
Combined with local efforts such as TTPC's, we were able to apply significant pressure on the subcommittee to drop the bill. And we were successful! On Wednesday, the Tennessee K-12 Subcommittee decided not to take up the bill, which should kill the "Don't Say Gay" bill for at least another year.

In a free-market economy, this grossly imbalanced situation would lead to both a property crisis and a banking crisis.

But to misquote an old financial adage, the property market can remain irrational longer than you are prepared to remain homeless.

Woods Hole Film Festival will present the world premiere Saturday of writer/director John Stimpson's "The Off Season," which was filmed in Falmouth and Woods Hole in winter 2013. The movie, showing at 8 p.m. at Woods Hole Community Hall, stars Amanda Schull, Charlie Hofheimer, Hal Ozsan and James McCaffrey.
Stimpson will attend the screening and participate in a post-show question-and-answer session.
In "The Off Season," Julie (Schull) and Trent (Hofheimer), escape to Woods Hole for a cold, but cozy winter "babymoon." Trent shows Julie, six months pregnant, the nautical restaurant that he wants to buy as a way to start their life together as a family. But Julie's divorce from husband Jonathan isn't final; he shows up, Trent disappears and Julie has to solve his kidnapping and deal with other secrets.
Stimpson has been a director of film, television and commercial projects in Massachusetts for 25 years. A former president of Harvard's Hasty Pudding Theatricals, Stimpson began his career as an actor. He has since made nine feature films as a director (including "The Legend of Lucy Keyes" and "A Christmas Kiss") and many others as writer, editor, producer or consultant.
The summer resident of North Falmouth was inspired to make "Off Season" by his fascination between how different resort areas are at different times of year. In 2005, he made a film called "The Winter People" about spirits that inhabit summer homes on the Cape in the off-season; the movie screened at the Woods Hole Film Festival.
This year's festival will take place July 26 to Aug. 2.

Singapore Stocks: City Developments, Golden Agri, Sinomem, Stats
Singapore's Straits Times Index fell 0.2 percent to 3,176.91 at the close. Almost the same number of stocks rose as declined in the benchmark equity index of 30 companies.
Shares on the measure trade at an average 15.4 times estimated earnings, compared with about 17.4 times at the beginning of the year, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
The following shares were among the most active in the market. Stock symbols are in parentheses after the company name.
City Developments Ltd. (CIT SP), Singapore's second-biggest developer, advanced 1.1 percent to S$12.96. Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc raised its recommendation on the stock to "hold" from "sell."
Golden Agri-Resources Ltd. (GGR SP), the world's second-biggest palm-oil producer, climbed 1.9 percent to 79 Singapore cents. OCBC Investment Research raised its recommendation on the stocks to "buy" from "hold," saying the company will benefit from rising crude-palm-oil prices.
M1 Ltd. (M1 SP), Singapore's smallest-listed phone company, increased 1.3 percent to S$2.38. UOB-Kay Hian Holdings Ltd. maintained its "buy" rating on the stock, saying the company is likely to declare a special dividend when it announces full-year earnings next month.

King County voters to decide dollars for crime-fighting tool in Proposition 1
October 16, 2012
By Staff
King County voters could decide to approve a $118.9 million property tax levy next month to continue funding criminal fingerprint identification services for local law enforcement agencies.
The proposal on the Nov. 6 ballot, Proposition 1, aims to keep the Automated Fingerprint Identification System, or AFIS, in operation through 2018. The system provides criminal fingerprint identification services to law enforcement agencies throughout the county, including the Issaquah Police Department.
The proposed renewal levy rate is 5.92 cents per $1,000 of assessed valuation, or about $20.72 per year for a $350,000 home.
Local leaders and law enforcement officials throughout the county, including the Issaquah City Council and Issaquah Police Chief Paul Ayers, endorsed the levy renewal.
Issaquah officers used information from AFIS 2,100 times last year to determine if a jail inmate was evading a warrant, concealing a criminal record or using a false identity.
Voters approved the initial AFIS levy in 1986, and overwhelmingly renewed the levy since then, most recently in 2006.

The Indian guy stole the show, in my opinion. I mean, how could he be moving so much while delivering lines so naturally?
The choreography, overall, was great.
The show was episodic, jumping from one story to the next. It worked when the artists took liberty of the text, and did something creative with it. It didn't work when the text was presented or dramatized in a literal way. To this, I am reminded of something I learned in school, "Just because it really happened, doesn't mean it's interesting on stage". Even if it IS an interesting true story about the hardship of being gay, the artists should interpret and edit it in such a way that communicates to the audience (especially when dealing with text, because real interviews are just people talking, not necessarily great for stage material). DV8 succeeded most of the time, I think they should just cut the rest.

I guess I wanted more dance and less talk, especially when I couldn't understand a lot of what was being said because of the various accents the characters had.
West Coast Premiere
The radical DV8 never shies away from the taboo. In its daring To Be Straight With You, artistic director Lloyd Newson leads a multi-ethnic cast in a poetic but unflinching exploration of tolerance, intolerance, religion and sexuality. Drawing on 85 interviews—with the pious and apostate, straight and gay, activist and mere passer-by—Newson merges dance with spoken word, recorded sound, video and animation. The result is a controversial piece that demands to know how modern society will reconcile faith and human rights.
DV8 Physical Theatre was formed in 1986 and has been led since its inception by Lloyd Newson. The company has produced 16 highly acclaimed dance pieces, which have toured internationally, and four award-winning films for television.

Trustworthy reviews are our priority. Businesses can't pay to change or remove reviews.
The Space @ Feather Oaks was the perfect venue for our wedding! We loved the flexibility of having both indoor and outdoor spaces! The horses, barn, and of course the saloon made for the perfect rustic themed wedding we were going for. All of our guests, most of them out of towners, raved about the location!
The Space at Feather Oaks is truly a uniquely beautiful venue. It's a bit compartmentalized inside, but we found putting the dance floor outside (under a tent) to be a solution to space issues. We got married on the stage around the tree. The tree was in full bloom (April) and gorgeous!
The beautiful tree and the wonderful bar (inside) are what sold my wife and I.
The owner, Katrice, was easy to work with and the property manager, Jon, who was there coordinating the day of the wedding was wonderful.
The space was everythin we had expected it to be. People kept telling us how beautiful it was. We are so happy we got married here!!!!
Everyone at the Space at Feather Oaks were fantastic. My husband always said he wanted a simple wedding with a country theme, and I just didn't see it. When I arrived to look at the venue, I imidiately fell in love. One of the horses' name was "Heather's Blossom", which of course, helped push me over the top. Having horses in the background, a huge oak tree, the country setting with elegance, it all came together greatly. Everyone at the Space took care of EVERYTHING and made sure that my day was PERFECT. I didn't have to lift a finger.
The space was a wonderful place to have both our ceremony and reception. All of our guests loved the venue and it was the most perfect night ever. The workers were great as well and I especially liked working with Sarah!
Tricia and Tommy
The Space is GORGEOUS! Kim and her team at The Space are awesome. They are very quick to email you back and answer all your questions. We were able to book the exact day we wanted and the prices were very affordable! Our guests could not stop talking about how beautifulbit was! From the tree we got married under, the killer saloon bar, the bonfire, the horses! ...oh man, I could go on forever. The Space was truly perfect. If you are going for any kind of rustic-southern-vintage-outdoorsy wedding this is the Space for you!!
The venue was gorgeous and everything went as planned. Everyone spoke of how beautiful the venue was. The only complaint I would have is about the cat that roams the venue and got into a cake. Other than that, it was a great experience.
The Space was beautiful and everyone loved how simple, yet elegant it was. A perfect place for a small wedding!
This is a wonderful place to have an outside, relaxing country atmosphere wedding. It is landscaped beautifully to accomodate any type of activities. The inside bar is absolutely stunning. Absolutely great place. Wish I had another girl to have a wedding there!
The Space could not have been more perfect for our outdoor wedding. We had already set a date at another venue, but when we saw The Space at Feather Oaks... we knew that was where our wedding needed to be. We loved the venue so much we moved the wedding up 3 months! The owners were amazing, very laid back and helpful. Anytime we wanted to go out and look at part of the venue we would just call and go out to look (that was very helpful closer to). Really, we could not have asked for a better place to have held our ceremony/ reception. We love The Space at Feather Oaks!
The venue is absolutely beautiful--a refurbished barn with a cool saloon bar and pasture with horses. I coordinated the rehearsal dinner from afar, and the owners did a wonderful job of following through on what I had requested. The final setting took my breath away and we received many compliments about the venue.
The Space at Feather Oaks was the perfect venue for my Tallahassee, FL wedding. We had decided early on that we wanted a simple but eclectic atmosphere and wanted to stay away from anywhere with a plantation atmosphere. Kim Kimberly and Katrice Howell were very responsive with any questions we had about the venue and the contract was very clear. We most enjoyed the expanded outdoor stage, the all wood bar and ability to have a bonfire. The venue is beautiful enough that not many additional decoration was needed. The only suggestions I would have would be to bring back the faux "jail cell" and to not block the (more) handicap accessible restroom with folded tables, or to find another location to store them besides the bar, as they made it into the background of a number of the bar photos. Only a couple easy suggestions, other than that we very much enjoyed having this venue for our wedding!

According to one of my friends Berryman got picked up driving in Des Moines without a license. I wasn't there but she says he was ticketed. So that has to violate some sort of parole.....
Poor guy. Wrecking his life over some really stupid decisions.

Poor guy? We need to come to a conclusion that maybe he isn't making stupid decisions, but that he really is stupid!
Go Cyclones!!
I agree with Jay Moe, the things that happen to him are brought on by himself. Its not like he got cancer or was hit by a meteor.

I can confirm this story -- Iowa Courts Online has him listed as being charged with "Failure to have valid license or permit" in Urbandale on the 14th. This wouldn't be the first time -- it looks like he's driven without a license on several occasions... This just makes it even less likely he'll get a bite from the NFL...

Winter's ReignVictory has come,More Like This
Winter's harsh rule at an end.
Forget about the dead leaves,
Spring is a rebirth.
Forget the skin of ice stung night,
Life bursts forth from ground.
For the sun has once more returned to us,
The warm beams brush my skin.
For heaven has given it's gift to us,
And birthed a world fresh and bright.
Birth of ColorBefore the darkness broke into day,More Like This
A somber sight was found.
The clouds were grey, everything grey,
No shadows anywhere around.
Colors were rarer than shooting stars,
A world of black and white.
Dark was all to see near and far,
Before morning triumphed over night.
It begins small, pinpoints of warmth,
The birth of the orb we call sun.
The green of the grass and the heat of the hearth,
And dew stains the stems of the lawn.
Night laughs at this trivial attempt for his domain,
By this force that we humans call light.
Though trees are like bars across my vision,
I can see the landscape made anew.
The lands awaken from slumber,
Reds and oranges and light sky blue.
Light and dark have since come to a truce,
With one rule that says it all.
The beautiful no-mans-land that brings us such joy;
Color doesn't touch the world before dawn.
Acquainted With the NightThe fireflies rise with the cool breezeMore Like This
watching them flutter between the stars
I see that the world reflects heaven
even as the sky empties of the clouds of summer
There is that surreal(?) atmosphere
about the fields
there are no aeroplanes here,
not often,
the sky lingers, clear,
she wants to know the stars by name
Late August reveals short nights,
he cannot see
for all the staggering lights, they remain
even in the strangest of hours,
they hold no splendour for him, now.
She tells her story to him, b i t b y b i t
(by constellation)
he tries to figure her, suss her, solve the problem
(never once suspecting
that there might not be a problem at all,
not with her, anyway)
He writes her into equations,
variables like me
and constants like the sky,
but never enough
to truly sincerely entirely make
things balance out (they never do, after all)
She writes him into stories, far away stories
PoisonI. UsMore Like This
The clouds were grey, everything grey,
colour doesn't touch the world before dawn
We run across damp lawns of dusk,
vision obscured by winter demons
which disintegrate gradually,
leaving behind them dew drops and memories
We still speak of fairy circles
bad dreams
and brush fire
simultaneous anticipation and nostalgia
which wakes unto undeveloped minds
we are these stories,
never to be finished,
stuck in front of the fire.
II. Them
It only gets harder to distinguish the sky
as you get older, and it gets farther
They have shallow eyes now
and perpetual listlessness,
hair which has overgrown
and tans that don't fade
they stand within inches of us,
but cannot touch
the same way that we are always
within reach of the fairy circles
so close to bad dreams
near enough to feel the heat
of the brush fire,
but banned from the touch
the girls stare forlornly
but they never look back, they call it
the two way mirror
the boys hit it
like boys will do,

The failures of the heart
A silver sheen
Glows in the dark
Covered by the lips
Of revered travesty
The sliver can't be fixed
By gothic iniquity
In my darkest hour
The failure of a man
Remains my greatest power
Denied for so long
This heart will go on
Another place
Another face
In a distant land across the sea
Lies the heart of beauty
A place just for me
By the damning words
Of a forgotten curse
Dines the black birds
Of Mother's worst
Feeding hopelessness
In the state of heartache
Forsaking love at best
To awaken an ancient fate
In my darkest hour
The failure of a man
Remains my greatest power
Denied for so long
This heart will go on
Another place
Another face
In a distant land across the sea
Lies the heart of beauty
A place just for me
Drowning in a crimson pool
Where my body lies in ruin
The heart is but a tool
For the mind to use too soon
Catastrophic consequence
For the eyes of betrayal
'Cause death comes in an instant
When love has finally failed

Born on the wrong side, innocent as a dove.
All he ever wanted was to find where he belonged
Yet he lived in a world where right comes after wrong.
Given seven tests to prove that he was true,
Getting with the best was all Heracles knew.
His initiation test, to show he would not break.
The gang wanted proof of what Heracles could take.
Drive-by-shootings, drug-deals in the park,
Grafitting bridges, murder in the dark.
He thought he was right, fighting for the top,
One of the criminals the cops couldn't stop.
Yet somewhere inside him, he knew it was wrong,
That he could fit in without fighting for a mob.
Heracles knew what he had to do, to right all his wrongs.
He turned in the crime lords, disposed of his old life;
He could fit in without threats from a knife.
Loving the SeaI was supposed to be your sea.More Like This
Your soulmate within the waves,
Crashing our true love against the shore;
For eternity we'd turn the storm.
Alas, our bond shifted with the tide of tales.
It carried me away from you, effort you made not to fight it
Left to drown, sun swept me away,
Like your love, I evaporated to ancient history nothings.
In time, the skies returned me from the heavens,
Unrecognizable daughter of Nereus I was.
The splash of sea foam, the sparkle of the waves
Unknown, that's where I'll forever be.
My dear, take the time to listen.
From seashells you'll hear my silent moan,
Begging, I am, for you to cup me in the caress of your palms,
Never would you allow a drop of me to spill.
I was meant to be your Ocean Queen,
Yet you left me to remain the Seaweed's Maid.

But I didn't listen now I'm falling into the sea
I tried to escape from the man with the golden touch
But now it's coming back to haunt me

I am the boy falling in the sea
I love the cool breeze
The height that I'm sustaining
But I will never be the bird I am dreaming
Oh why won't Morpheus be good to me
Life is a labyrinth that I am lost in
Please help me daddy for am not crafty
The Minotaur is the thing in life of which I fear most

like welcoming hands.
Full leaves, spun from buds
sturdy, slender trunks.
The sparrows lead a decrescendo

The eddies shimmer and glisten
surfaces undisturbed, they
reflect long golden hair and golden skin.
Moss and grasses conceal uneven ground
and a golden path behind.
Delicate butterflies flit and dart,
never resting, never tired.
Soft shadows begin dusk
as the earth tilts
and rays of light disintigrate.

Through the foggy veil
Her skin, forever pale
Her shriek like icy hail
Her song is death,
The outcome swift;
Knowing the hour is a burden,
Not a gift - surely, not a gift.
You wait for her dirge, Loner;
Hope for it, wish for it,
Wanting sleep that lasts forever
But then you find what you thought you'd left behind.
You've found your heart, Lover;
A wife, a babe, all yours now
Time to run for cover
It's near, that much is clear
Run as fast as you can, Lover;
For it is you she warns,
Impending sleep has come forever
Oh, how your fate seems to always come too late
Tolls the bell, Departed;
The funeral goes under your tearing eye -
The fate you thought you outsmarted
Has come for her even though you did run.
Hear her cry and wail
Through the foggy veil
Her skin, forever pale
Her shriek like icy hail
Her song is death,
The outcome swift;
Knowing the hour is a burden,
Not a gift - surely, not a gift.
The Cure for A Bad DayDust danced in the light of the mid-afternoon sun, shifting in the beam that breached the curtain.

ConversationsThe blue screen of my computer was still the same, clicking every so often to make me remember that it didn't work. Booting up this old trash was probably a way to make me feel connected to this society powered by industrialization. Once again the door knocked and my brother asked me to come downstairs for breakfast.More Like This
As I was descending the creaky steps that were run down and tired, I heard my brother.
"Put a ripe banana in your ear!" He yelled to his twin.
Finally I got to the dining room where I could see the flaming tulips laid on the small plywood table. It was the only thing my parents did pay attention to: those flamboyant, melting flowers. I turned away from them to see our old neighbor jogging again outside. She was maybe around 70 years old, but she wanted to keep with the times. Her "royal" (as she called it) purple hair stood out of this neighborhood of ashes.

The Snail That Saved VancouverThe industrial complex of Mare Imbri (1) was a desolate, rundown place. The only noise came from ships leaving and docking at the colony's heavily guarded spaceport. But one lone figure creped through the shady alleys. Mr. Dingle (30) oozed his way towards his destination, carefully avoiding bumping the cans with his bulky casing. Yes, Mr. Dingle was a live snail (31). But unlike most of his kind, he was capable of thinking outside his own shell. And not even a salt truck could deter this snail.More Like This
"So, Dingle," A shadow from the alley muttered, "I hear you have need of me."
"Yes," Dingle replied in his monotone voice. "I have need of a weapon."
The salamander shimmered into view out of the alley. "Well, I've got guns, grenades, swords, you name it, I'll sell it to you."
"I'm looking for the lost sword of our champion," Dingle replied, a steely tone to his voice.
"Ah, the hallowed Hello Kitty blade (28)? I could supply it, for a price."

My sister disappeared when I was little. I remember her stories, of paper pirate pandas, broad sword battles, cows with guns, and in one very entertaining evening, a reanimated piece of beef steak. I cherish those stories; they're embedded in my heart.
We had so much fun. Despite her disappearance, she was ever present during my growing up. Each word she had entrusted me then shaped a little of who I became. I love my sister, and it hurt being incapable of letting her know of my appreciation for the

I rushed over to him and blocked the opposition's broadsword with my own, holding the fight up with ease. I scooped him up and in one swift swipe; I killed that distasteful centaur male.

"Marla, where are we going?" I asked into my cell phone, knowing what I was doing was utterly and completely ridiculous.
"To the Marla Mobile!" She answered, and I could hear her both on my phone and standing right next to me. People often asked why we did this, but with Marla, there was no rhyme or reason. Life with her was a constant acid trip, even though I was never the one taking the acid.
"Why the Marla Mobile?" I groaned, fearing that we were going to rent The Lake House again. By my count, we'd seen it 127 times. For some reason, whenever Marla took acid, she could not ever remember seeing that movie. I now had all the lines memorized. But time and time again, we would rent it and she would make me watch it with her, making me think that Chinese water torture would be more pleasurable of an experience.

"Is this enough?"
She was right by the boy's side in the blink of an eye, tossing a few notes on the counter top before walking off. It wasn't her day today - she hadn't found the perfect pair of goggles, the purple in her hair was fading, the smell of tulips today was stronger than the stench of steam engines' oily rusted gears, she stepped on a live snail at the entrance of the last store she entered, but the worst was her missing daily dose of chamomile tea.

As he sat drinking a nice hot cup of Chamomile tea, he looked up at the clock on his clock, and suddenly had the strangest premonition. He suddenly saw himself standing in the middle of a city in Vancouver. He was surrounded by a group of cows with guns.More Like This

Oh criminal tell me one thing
You're sickened by humanity
What have you to manage now?
You're one more casuality, I wake up
Won't you Sir take off your make up so we can see you?
I told it to you straight somehow
You didn't hear a thing
It's sad, what a shame
If the western world won't save you now
Then tell me what's your plan?
Will you fight to the end?
Say it, say it out loud
Say it again please, I cannot hear you
It's all lies and mediation
I feel manipulated these days, these days
You're back and forth, you lead us to this
It's only my entire life you banked on my friend
Oh my life's just hanging by a thread
But you played the whole way
Didn't you save me, save me
All that mattered to you was the cash
But you took us for a ride
It didn't last, it didn't last

Fayette County Career and Technical Institute students learn rules of the road
Seniors at the Fayette County Career and Technical Institute were involved in the 2013 Teen Safe Driving Summit, the first of its kind for Fayette County.
The summit was presented and sponsored by PennDOT District 12, AAA East Central, Children's Hospital, the Southwest Regional Traffic Safety Network and the Pennsylvania State Police and has been presented in Washington, Greene and Westmoreland counties in the past few years.
"This is the first time for Fayette County," said Jay Ofsanik, the safety press officer for PennDOT District 12. "The technical school is the perfect venue for this. It allows the kids to get interactive."
The driving summit consisted of three workshops.
The first workshop is a driving simulator that addresses distraction driving including texting, cell phone usage, peer distractions and other electronics. The workshop also provides information for the students about impairments including alcohol, legal/illegal drugs and fatigue.
The second workshop was titled Highway Safety Jeopardy and consisted of teams of students answering highway safety questions and competing for prizes.
The third workshop is Car Care 101 where the students learn basic vehicle maintenance including how to change a tire, checking fluids and other need-to-know tips to keep their vehicles in safe working order.
Dan Hoff, the technical coordinator and SADD adviser for the career and technical center, said approximately 144 students attended the summit.
Speakers included Joyce Ellis, the executive director of the Le Moyne Multicultural Center, and District Judge Joseph George, who spoke of the legal consequences of underage drinking and driving under the influence.
"You don't want to see me in the courtroom," George said, adding that there is a mandatory 90-day license suspension for a first underage drinking offense and a one-year suspension for a second offense.
"That's when it's real," he said.
Ofsanik said the previous summits have yielded positive feedback from the students and added that the importance of presenting such a program to high-school-aged students.
"We need to break the cycle here," Ofsanik said, adding that it's difficult to change long-time habits of seasoned drivers, but teaching good driving habits early on has a greater chance to see positive results as the years go on.
According to PennDOT, vehicle collisions involving 16- and 17-year-old drivers from 2007 to 2011 totaled 349 including six fatalities, 20 major injuries and 66 moderate injuries.

Eden Restuarant, Athens: Eden Restuarant, Athens - closed
13 - Jan - 2010. Sadly, they are still closed - and by the look of the building, permanently.
A great shame; I've enjoyed eating there in past years, and there is now not a single veggie restaurant in Athens!
Favorite Dish: Looks like it will have to be brickdust and rainwater!

- Budget Travel
Eden Restaurant: close as of July 2007
Mom and heard a lot about them and their web site listed the menu. But when we found the building in Athens in July 2007, it was closed. Other local restaurants said they have been closed for about 6 months - a big disappointment.
Eden Restaurant: One for you Vegetarians
You can get "vegetarian" food at most restaurants in Greece, but Eden is specifically organically grown just for vegetarians. I've only been once, so I figured I should make a tip for any vegetarians planning on coming to Athens.
The food is pretty good, good even if you aren't a vegetarian. And the decor is sort of like, 1920's style posters and stuff. It's really a nice experience.
It's also pretty cheap.
Favorite Dish: I've only eaten there once but the dish I had was very good. I had a mushroom pie with whole -weat crust. And actually, I hate mushrooms generally, but I really enjoyed this. And after I felt knowing that what I ate was healthier. lol

Eden Restaurant: Great Food But Geat There Early
My wife and I ate here on our honeymoon. The food we got was good, but this resturaunt is not for non-vegans. Most of the food is vegan/macro-biotic, my wife is vegeratian but she likes "real" food i.e. something more extravagant than stewwed vegetables with brown rice or lentils. There wereo only three items on the menu that were "nomal" food: mousakka a quiche and a mezedes plate. When we got there around 8:30pm(very early for dinner by Greek standards) the were out of the quiche, and had only 1 piece of mousakka left. We went for the mousakka and the mezedes which were fantastic, but I guess the moral is at this restaurant its only the early bird that doesn't eat the "bird food".
Favorite Dish: The vegetarian mousakka was better than many of the meat based ones I have had elsewhere in Greece
The Eden Restaurant: Good vegetarian food
In a quiet area of the Plaka this vegetarian restaurant serves good measures of filling tasty food. There is also a good selection of organic wines (the organic retsina is good).Pleasant service in a cool interior the only other customers were locals.
Favorite Dish: Mixed platter of starters and, to finish, the wonderful sour cherries in Greek yoghurt. Main courses moussaka or chilli.

EDEN RESTAURANT: Calling all Vegetarians
The restaurant is set in traditional surrounding and has a great selection of food.
Favorite Dish: Has the best freshly squeezed carrot juice in Athens, try finding that in somewhere else in Athens.
Closed on Tuesdays.

nothing caught me.
Authentic Indian veg are better.

I have a Bootstrap Modal that contains a form for updating or creating an entity (Company in my example). Right now my issue is that if I view an entity using the modal, it doesn't clear out the fields when I close the modal by any means. Causing the form to still be populated if I then click a "Create" button, which should bring me up a blank modal.
How can I execute one of my ViewModels methods from just regular javascript? Here is some of my code:
function ViewModel() {
var self = this;
function CompanyViewModel(company) {
var self = this;
self.Id = company.CompanyId;
self.Name = company.Name;
function BlankCompanyViewModel() {
var self = this;
self.Id = 0;
self.Name = "";
self.company = ko.observable();
self.companies = ko.observableArray();
self.clearCurrentCompany = function() {
self.company(new BlankCompanyViewModel());
// Initialize the view-model
$.getJSON("/api/company", function(companies) {
$.each(companies, function(index, company) {
self.companies.push(new CompanyViewModel(company));
Ideally I'd like to run ViewModel.clearCurrentCompany on the "Hidden" event of the modal like so:
$('#myModal').on('hidden', function() {
//Do something here, not sure what

Celebrated novelist Justin Torres is a highlight of the free evening readings and presentations
Thursday, June 13, 2013
The evening readings include faculty readings, a film, a collaboration of poetry and musical accompaniment, and a June 24 visit by the highly celebrated novelist Justin Torres, author of the exquisite and blistering "We the Animals." Named one of Salon's "Sexiest Men of 2011," Torres received the Rolón United States Artist Fellowship in Literature, and is a Wallace Stegner Fellow at Stanford.
The program also welcomes acclaimed Young Adult novelist Sara Zarr to the Writing for Young People faculty. Another featured event of the series, on Wednesday, June 27, will include poetry by Thomas Sayers Ellis accompanied by saxophonist James Brandon Lewis.
The readings are presented by Lesley's Graduate School of Arts and Social Sciences' acclaimed Master of Fine Arts (MFA) Program in Creative Writing, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary. Steven Cramer, Associate Professor of Creative Writing and Director of the MFA in Creative Writing, organizes the summer series.
Cramer, a distinguished poet, is the recipient of the L.A. Times Book Prize Nomination, a Massachusetts Honor Book Citation, the Sheila Motton Prize from the New England Poetry Club, a Massachusetts Artists Foundation Fellowship, and a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship.
"Lesley's MFA in Creative Writing began with twenty-two students in 2003, growing over the last ten years to over 100 current students, 300 alumni and 30 faculty," Cramer says of the program. "We are now a durable part of the Boston/Cambridge literary landscape, and our faculty and alumni regularly contribute to the national wealth of contemporary writing."
The program has recently been named one of the Top Ten Low-Residency Programs by Poets & Writers magazine. Five years ago, the successful Writing for Stage and Screen track was added. In all five of the program's genres—fiction, nonfiction, poetry, stage and screen, and writing for young people—students attend two intensive residencies on campus per year, participate in one-on-one distance learning during semesters, and are offered what Cramer calls "online office hours" that provide much individual attention. The residencies build lifelong artistic communities among students and faculty. As part of Lesley's commitment to community engagement, the MFA program invites the public to attend evening readings and presentations from visiting authors, Lesley faculty, and graduating students.
The readings will take place in Lesley University's Marran Theater, 34 Mellen Street, Cambridge, Mass.
7:15—Reading/Presentation: Screening of film written by Barry Brodsky, writing for stage and screen; Sara Zarr, writing for young people

© Copyright 2015 Newton Citizen
The voters have spoken, as a law-abiding citizen who believes in liberty and the rule of law, I must honor the decisions the voters have made.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Tax Commissioner Dan Ray for his 19 years of service, Chief Magistrate Judge Rudy Horne for his 25 years of service, Probate Judge Lillis Brown for her 31 years of service, and Sheriff Jeff Wigington for his 35 years of service to our community. Each has tirelessly served the community with dedication and honor.
I came to Rockdale County 10 years ago because of the sense of safety, security, community, and the conservative small town charm I felt when exploring the area. With their tenure in community service, I feel confident the aforementioned public servants played a major role in forming the community that I was attracted to 10 years ago.
I am honored and humbled for knowing each one of them, and I wish them the best in their future endeavors.
Also, I would be remiss in my gratitude if I didn't recognize the spouses of each of these fine people. Over the years, the spouses have endured a lot and given more to the community than we'll ever know. I would like to thank them for their service to our community as well.
May God be with you.

Shock & Awe: Archbishop Dolan elected President of USCCB! {Updated}By
In a stunning (and welcome) upset, the assembled bishops of the United States elected Archbishop Timothy Dolan to be the President of the USCCB for the next three years. Here is how the ballots played out…
On the first vote, Bp. Kicanas led the count with 104, Abp. Dolan – 84, Abp. Chaput – 20.
On the second vote, Abp. Chaput's supporters went mostly for Dolan: Abp. Dolan 118 – Kicanas 111.
By the third vote, it was all over: Abp. Dolan 128 – Bp. Kicanas 111.
Archbishop Joseph Kurtz of Louisville was also elected as vice president.
This is a very encouraging development and if you want to know why I am so pleased by it, read what I wrote earlier about the Kicanas conundrum. A big thank you to all who joined me in praying for the best outcome. Praise be to God and the Holy Spirit.
UPDATE – here is what Rocco wrote about +Dolan's surprise appointment:
For the first time in the history of the US bishops, a vice-president standing for the presidency has been denied the top post, losing a stunning election to the archbishop of New York.
… Overturning a half-century of tradition for the bench, the result represents a seismic shift for the leadership of the nation's largest religious body, and a mandate for a continuance of the outspoken, high-profile leadership shown by Cardinal Francis George over his game-changing term at the conference's helm.
There will be a great deal of commentary written over the coming days, trying to decide what Archbishop Dolan's election means. Let me get in front of all the spin: The majority of American bishops believe that Abp. Dolan is the best choice to lead them and represent the Church to the American people over the next three years. It's that simple.
Or, as Rocco reports one young bishop put it the other day, +Dolan "inspired us as priests, before we became bishops"… and the sentiment won the day.
UPDATE 2 – for once, I agree with Fr. Thomas Reese (the only person Laurie Goodstien of the New York Times could find to interview on this news. Laurie – update your Rolodex!):
The Rev. Thomas J. Reese, a senior fellow at the Woodstock Theological Seminary at Georgetown University and a liberal Catholic commentator, said, "The two vice presidential finalists were the two most conservative on the ballot. That says something about where this conference is going."

At least 18 killed in Afghan bus crashComment on this story
Kabul, Afghanistan -
Afghan officials say at least 18 people have been killed in a traffic accident in the country's south-east.
Deputy provincial governor in Ghazni says the accident took place on Thursday on Afghanistan's main north-south highway, when a bus with more than 50 passengers on board rammed into a truck. Ahmad Ali Ahmad says there were also numerous injuries.
Ahmad says the accident was due to reckless driving on the part of the bus driver, who was speeding on a narrow part of the highway in the Qarabagh district.
The main hospital in Ghazni province confirmed the death toll. - Sapa-AP

Sorry for the double post but I just had a thought. It will be criminal if they don't use John Wesley Shipp in some capacity in this new series. My preference would be to see him turn up as Jay Garrick. Judging from recent photos of him he would totally fit the part.

Chris Schroeder is tall. Very tall. And he's looking for a bike that fits to help him navigate the hills of San Francisco.
Finding the right bike is exciting. The world is your oyster but first you have to decide what kind of bike is right for you. Do you need a sturdy touring frame, light road bike, svelte single speed, or a casual cruiser? Not since your "experimental" phase in college have you felt so free to define who you are. This bike is going to change your life and you know it. Well, that is unless you are tall. Very, very tall. In that case, with a snap, the oyster closes and you hear yourself asking your bike mechanic: "Which of these bikes are available in a 62 cm frame and how long will it take to special order it? Oh. Only in brown? Ok fine." Your choices are limited, you're tall and you need a bike.

I live in San Francisco, CA and my bike of choice for the past two years has been a Fuji Feather. It's amazing, light and fast. But it's not that great for long rides. I'm 6'6" with a 37-inch inseam and a regular-if-not-short torso. Help! I need a versatile road bike that will take me on the occasional long ride. To see what options exist, I stopped by American Cyclery where they built up a beautiful 62 cm Raleigh Clubman for me to test. The question remains: Is this the right bike for me?
I've reviewed several bikes trying to find suitable options for people with a 37-inch inseam like mine. Find my first reviews and tips here:

Nice classic 63cm Bottecchia for sale at http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/bik/4998061209.html. I'm 6'7″ and it has served me well.
I am 4′ 10″, so at the other end of the spectrum. Finding serious bikes that fit is a challenge. I have had dealers try to push me to buy a too big bike rather than do the work of ordering the right size (if it even exists). My road bike is a flat bar with 26 inch wheels. Cannondale stopped making this size. If I decide to move up to a higher end bike I will probably need to go custom. Fisher does make a carbon frame road bike with a 26 inch wheel and adult components. My daughter has one.
I am 6'8″ and have two great fitting bikes. A steel touring custom made frame ( about 28″ Frame size) manufactured by Argos ( frame builder in Bristol , UK) and a speedier Trek Madone 64cm Carbon bike. It did prove a little tricky to track down a 64cm Trek in stock anywhere in Europe but well worth the hunt.
I'm 6'7″ and have written about the 747 and long cranks, and used both, at http://talladaptations.com
It is fantastic companies are starting to realize there is a real market for the 1 percentile, the tall people
I'm 1.90m and live in København. A variety of tall bikes are available here with frames up to 70cm, but most are the Dutch city bike style. I have a men's Batavus that fits well enough, but it is a real tank of a bike. For my fun bike I had a custom frame made to my measurements. It was expensive, but is perfect.
A friend of mine is 2.00m and lives in the US. She is mostly leg with an inseam of 1.02m and the only way to go was a custom frame. She couldn't afford it, but a kind company built one for her recognizing her work with kids.
"After all, we all use the same staircases, whether we have long or short legs…" Yeah, but I usually take them two at a time.
I'm only 6'4″ but all legs. I test drove the 747 today (only a short bike store ride thru a flat neighborhood), and apart from the reach being too long it did feel "normal!"
I have a 68cm Rivendell Bombadil. It is great but vey expensive. I put Zinn cranks on 195 mm. I love the feel of long cranks. It feels like riding a bicycle instead of spinning a hamster wheel. I would have gone with 200 mm but the bb height does not allow. Even with 195 mm I'm pushing it. Because of the abuse my bike takes everyday carrying loads and riding up steep grades I blow through wear parts and am constantly doing repairs. I get busy with work and get behind on maintainence so I've been looking for a less expensive second bike. I tested a 747 Zinn. The leg fit and feel was amazing but the Top tube length wasn't there even with a ridiculous stem. Sure I could make it fit but it would never feel right. I'm now considering a soma es frame but Want to try before I buy and build. I've considered a Gunnar for a MTb as well but am married to long cranks now so I need a higher bb especially on a MTb where obstacles come into play. Its not easy for us tall guys to find bikes and when you do it's usually hard on the wallet.
The size of 65cm for the 747 already corrects for the 200mm cranks, so ignore my 67.5cm size and it probably being too big comment.
There are reviews by some 6'5″ & 6'6″ guys with 36.5″ & 37″ inseams, and they seem to really like the long cranks. Do a lot of research, but do even more test rides before you pull the trigger. Most think long cranks increase the risk of knee issues. Sheldon Brown has section on it, http://sheldonbrown.com/cranks.html, with a lot of good info and makes a comment I liked on it: "I think people really obsess too much about crank length. After all, we all use the same staircases, whether we have long or short legs…"
Hello fellow tall sf rider. So your long legs will put you up higher than average, and effectively making the bars lower, so you may want touring or endurance road geometries; they have less aggressive riding positions; bars much closer and higher mostly undoing the problem..
BTW are you running fixie or freewheel on the feather & why no pic of it?
64cm specialized Roubaix or secteur; All carbon & aluminum/carbon respectively, various gearing & brake (disc) options. http://www.specialized.com/us/en/bikes/road#enduranceroad
62 & 64cm surly long haul trucker: steel frame & fork. 11-34 9spd 26/36/48. Tons of fittings. Wheel & brake options. It is a very popular long distance touring bike, the shifters are super simple to operate and reliable. You can relocate them pretty easy to the upper bars & elsewhere if you don't like bar ends. swap out the tires to some light 28's and cassette if you want tight ratios plus all the range with that triple crank would cool. 62cm surly pacer or cross check, for a slight lighter and more nimble setup..
64cm fuji touring: steel frame & fork, fittings for fenders & front/rear racks, medium duty touring. Gears: 11-34 9spd 30/39/50. The 30 can be replaced by a 28, 26, maybe a 24 for cheap if you want super low gearing. Same Tire & gears stuff I mentioned above.
http://www.fujibikes.com/ bike/details/touring#bk_desc_tab
Fuji Roubaix 64cm: light large bike12-27 34/50. They discontinued the 64cm last year I think, so you would need to find old stock; I still see new ones around.
62cm jamis aurora: light duty touring. I have a '09; bad year. Lots of issues. I have final worked out most of the bugs. I am not recommending, but it exists.
Soma Smoothie es 66cm: bike frame only.
Cannodale has xxl they call "jumbo" but I think they may only be for flat bar bikes
One thing special about the KHS 747 (65cm) is that it comes with 200mm cranks instead of 175s on all the bikes above. These cranks make the 747 size more like 67.5cm (adding the 25mm for the longer cranks). This bike might be bigger than you need.
There are other bikes I didn't mention; just need to look around a bit. I look forward to your bike reviews.
Chris Schroeder should investigate Gunnar and Waterford bikes. Waterford has made Gunnars and Waterfords for NBA players who were over 7 feet tall so fitting someone only 6 feet 6 inches tall should be easy….
You should also check out the KHS Flite 747, which comes in XXL, and the Zinn Big Apple, along with custom options from Zinn cycles who specializes in tall bikes.
I am 6'4″ tall and have arms and legs 38″ I landed in Corvallis, OR in 1972 from Vietnam, I bought an inexpensive 28″ road bike named a Compania, prolly Japanese-great bike, great fit, fast as hell-it got stolen. Later, I found a Fuji 27″ road bike- fine bike, fine fit, it got stolen. Then I had Tom Ritchey build me a 26″ mtb for the streets of San Francisco, still have it, too tall for a mtb, not the right bike for streets and I don't want to customizexa vintage Ritchey bike-now I'm old in flat Florida and can't find a bike, closest I could come was a 25″ Fuji Touring bike, it's too small and was a waste of about $1200.00-i need a 27-28″ bike with stem, post and crank to fit it and i don't want to have to pay $2500.00 to get it. Somebody help me, please. firstname.lastname@example.com
I have the 64 cm Surly Long Haul Trucker. I'm only 6'2″, so it feels a bit like driving a greyhound bus. I can see quite a bit of stretch in the frame for people taller than I am.

Sometimes we all hit rock bottom and need a lil encouragement. So I thought why not post a post and whoever needs encouragement we can give it to them? Or if they need positive thoughts, advice, prayers or know someone else is there... maybe they have been through the same thing and can offer advice. Anything goes :) who's with me??
Soo.... tell us what you're dealing with and we will try to help you :) It helps to talk about it!
I'm not dealing with anything terrible right now. Saying see ya later to my son on Tuesday...he's leaving the nest. I'm happy and sad all at once.

I actually looked at large pictures of the original grip when making it but decided I wanted something a bit larger to mold into my hand. So you have to take it off to get the winder on.
I have a winder 2 and I agree that it adds on a nice hefty gripping area. But I like a smaller and lighter setup when walking around. As I tried in the past using a winder without batteries too lol.
Might be a nice side business to make camera grip 1 replicas lol with those crazy prices. Not sure if they are going to users or collectors out there.
Also there is another material called surgu which is silicone based. It's a bit more pricey. I think it could be used in combination with instamorph to make a softer grip area.
