Pitch counts: Reason to sound arm alarm or much ado about nothing?
Photo: AP
When the Mets traded Ryan (pictured here after a 1973 no-hitter) to the California Angels prior to the 1972 season, he went back to starting every four days. He figures he probably had several 200-pitch games, though the 235-pitch performance is most often mentioned because 1974 was the year Angels pitching coach Tom Morgan decided to keep pitch counts.

Conclusions and Political Realities
We have sought in this book to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of the ehanced expenditures on overall homeland security measures that have taken place since 9/11 (chapters 2–4) and then more specifically on measures designed to protect (chapters 5–7). Finally, we have put forward some comments about evaluating policing and intelligence matters, as well as ones concerning mitigation, resilience, and overreaction (chapter 8). In doing so, we have applied standard risk and cost-benefit evaluation techniques that have been accepted and used throughout the world for decades by regulators, academics, businesses, and governments, and we have presented our analysis in a fully transparent manner.
Our key conclusion is that, given the quite limited hazard terrorism presents, enhanced expenditures designed to lower it have been excessive, sometimes massively so. We are in agreement, then, with security expert Bruce Schneier when he concludes, "In general, the costs of counterterrorism are simply too great for the security we're getting in return, and the risks don't warrant the extreme trade-offs we've been asked to make."1 Or as Michael Sheehan puts it, although "gargantuan budgets" will enhance our capability over time, "the cost-benefit ratio does not compute favorably."2
We have not examined every aspect of enhanced homeland security in equal depth, but it is difficult to find many expenditures that, on balance, have clearly been a net benefit. Most enhanced homeland security expenditures since 9/11 fail a cost-benefit assessment, it seems, some spectacularly so, and it certainly appears that many billions of dollars have been misspent.

Mischa Barton was not looking very happy when photographers found her at Real Food Daily the other day. She was with her boyfriend Cisco Adler but he didn't seem to cheer her up. Apparently she barely ate any of her meal and took the rest to go. Perhaps she was hung over from a NYE celebration or maybe she just wished she had a better night to begin with.

A Kentucky man, who hit it big in Powerball, had everything he owned sold at an auction.
David Edwards won 41-million back in 2001.
The Ashland man moved to Florida, where he bought a mansion and a fleet of cars.
The home was eventually foreclosed and according to the Ashland Daily Independent, Edwards moved into a storage unit.
The owners say Edwards stopped paying rent on the unit and they auctioned all the contents Monday.
Edwards is facing drug charges in Florida where he's due in court next week.

I feel like the absolute worst mother on Earth for admitting how I feel about our LO I don't enjoy being around him, I dread outings with him, he embarasses me with his behavior wherever we go, I even dread picking him up from daycare some days
He is a complete TERROR! He bites, hits, kicks, spits, screams, etc. He has tantrums ALL day long, over absolutely everything and anything. He even "talks back" - if I say "Trystan, that's not nice, please don't do that", he will say "No, you're not nice - you don't do that!" - so he basically mocks everything I say. We are attempting time-outs but they are a complete nightmare - I brought him back to his 'time-out' spot 107 times last night (literally counted) before he finally gave up and stayed put for a couple minutes - and even then he didn't really fulfill the purpose of a time-out because he SCREAMED the entire time.
I am not a spanking type mom - I was never spanked and never spanked our older son but my husband was raised with spankings and thought that maybe our son just needed a little spank on the bum to correct his behavior so the next time he bit me I gave him a spank on the bum (felt terrible doing it) - he wasn't phased at all - he turned around and smacked me as hard as he could on my thigh. So clearly spanking isn't the answer either (never thought it was but husband thought it was the solution as he and his siblings were all every well behaved and their Grandma - who raised them - was a spanker).
We have tried "cool downs" in his room but that ends up being a disaster too as he will yank every book off his bookshelf, throw them all over his room, kick, scream and come running back out of his room at his own leisure.
We have even tried a "reward system" instead of punishment - we offered him stickers for good behavior and retraction of stickers for inappropriate behavior and that worked for all of one day and then he didn't care about the stickers anymore.
I am at a complete loss of how to deal with him - our older son was NEVER like this. I am beginning to resent our younger son because he consumes ALL of my time and attention, often leaving our older son (7 years old) feeling left out because Trystan is always demanding something or having a tantrum about something. Our older son has even voiced that he feels "ignored" and that breaks my heart because that is not my intention.
To make matters worse, he doesn't behave like this for anyone else but ME. He is very well behaved (for the most part) at daycare, behaves like an angel for my husband and my mom but saves all the crazyness for me and I am with him the majority of the time when he's not in daycare because my husband works shift work.
I don't want to feel like this towards my son because I love him to pieces but I am absolutely exhausted and frustrated and hurt for my older son. Have no idea what to do. This seems much worse than just regular "terrible 2s" - I hear moms of 2 years olds saying "oh my goodness our son has 2 tantrums a day - the terrible 2s blah blah blah" - our LO has an all-out tantrum EVERY hour of every day! This seems excessive to me and I have no idea how to resolve it.
We have even tried turning everything into a "game", i.e. "Show me how fast you can ____________", "Let's race to the car, potty, etc." but he still has tantrums! Nothing seems to work with him and I have no idea why.

Mr. Mitchell is certainly entitled to his opinion, but when making public pronouncements, perhaps he should check his facts a little more closely.

Interesting but forgettable. I think I was expecting a little more historical fiction and a little less family drama.
I found this book a mediocre read. I was more captivated by the little asides on tatting lace than I was by the story itself. I did finish it though, and unfortunately the ending was one that has been done several times before, and in much better fashion.
In many ways, this was a book well worth reading. I feared at first that it would turn out to be a "look at all the witches in Salem" story but discovered a nuanced, well-written book that delves into a woman's past. The use of an unreliable narrator is always tricky for an author to pull off, and Barry does an exceptional job for the most part. She balances what readers learn through the protagonist with the viewpoints of other characters, all filtered through the protagonist but valid nonetheless.
In addition, the writing itself is of very good quality. That alone kept me reading long enough to give the plotline a chance, and to connect with the main character. I was happy that it kept me reading long enough to care about the woman.
There were moments when it slipped back into too-common cliches, and a few times I thought that if it continued in that vein, I would put it down. But I never abandoned the novel.
The ending was beautifully written, well crafted, and yet it was dissatisfying. Despite all the points that proved the protagonist was unreliable, her total lack of memory concerning her sister simply wasn't credible. I was disappointed over this but not to the point that I will refuse to read other books by this author. I will seek out her other books to see if she handled them better.
I'd like to read more of this author.

For 15 år siden, da Towner Whitneys liv ble lagt i grus, sverget hun på to ting: At hun aldri skulle sette sine ben i hjembyen Salem igjen. Og at hun aldri mer ville lese i kniplinger. For Towner har arvet denne sjette sansen, den mange av Whitney-klanens kvinner er utstyrt med, den som gjør dem i stand til å spå andres skjebne.
Det er bare ett eneste menneske som kan få Towner tilbake til Salem: Grandtante Eva - den beste kniplingleseren av dem alle. Nå er den gamle kvinnen sporløst borte. Kan Towner finne sannheten om familiens dypt bevarte hemmeligheter i Evas forlatte hus?
"Kniplingenes hemmelighet" foregår i fargerike Salem, byen som er berømt for fortidens utallige heksebål. Historien om Towner favner vidt og er spenningsroman, slektskrønike, historisk skildring og magisk fortelling - men først og fremst er det en sterk og varm beretning som fanger leseren fra Towners første, skjebnesvangre ord: Mitt navn er Towner Whitney. Nei, det er ikke helt sant. I virkeligheten er fornavnet mitt Sophya. Tro aldri på det jeg sier. Jeg lyver i ett sett. Jeg er en gal kvinne - dette siste er san

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0061624764, Hardcover)Amazon Best of the Month, August 2008: Brunonia Barry dreamt she saw a prophecy in a piece of lace, a vision so potent she spun it into a novel. The Lace Reader retains the strange magic of a vivid dream, though Barry's portrayal of modern-day Salem, Massachusetts--with its fascinating cast of eccentrics--is reportedly spot-on. Some of its stranger residents include generations of Whitney women, with a gift for seeing the future in the lace they make. Towner Whitney, back to Salem from self-imposed exile on the West Coast, has plans for recuperation that evaporate with her great-aunt Eva's mysterious drowning. Fighting fear from a traumatic adolescence she can barely remember, Towner digs in for answers. But questions compound with the disappearance of a young woman under the thrall of a local fire-and-brimstone preacher, whose history of violence against Whitney women makes the situation personal for Towner. Her role in cop John Rafferty's investigation sparks a tentative romance. And as they scramble to avert disaster, the past that had slipped through the gaps in Towner's memory explodes into the present with a violence that capsizes her concept of truth. Readers will look back at the story in a new light, picking out the clues in this complex, lovely piece of work. --Mari Malcolm

Hello seasoned MBers!
I own a Specialized MB and was wondering what 26" tyres I should get as the ones currently on the bike are a bit worn out.
I use the bike for the daily commute to work and some short rides during the weekends. I live in a hilly area and it rains quite often. So I am looking for something that has a good grip but won't be a bi-tch uphill. I stay on the tarmac for 90% of the ride. Also, punctures is an issue, I had a nasty crash back when I was ridding my racing bike so if I had to prioritize things I would go for puncture resistance first. By the way, do the tuberless tyres offer any advantage in the field of punctures, in your experience?
Thanks all in advance for reading and replying.

- For an introduction about hackathons, see Hackathon 101.
- For detailed information about this year's hackathon, see Wikimedia Hackathon 2015.
Wikimedia hackathons play an important role energizing our engineering community and connecting it to local groups. We need more of them in different places.
Main goals of our hackathons:
- Work on prototypes, sprints, and other collaborative efforts to be showcased at the end of the event.
- Strengthen community health and developer ties through projects, buddies, and other ways of mingling.
- Reach out to new developers, onboard them during the event, and turn them into regular contributors.
- 1 The Wikimedia Hackathon model
- 2 Proposing a hackathon
- 3 Measures of success
- 4 Random stuff
The Wikimedia Hackathon model[edit | edit source]
The 2015 European Wikimedia Hackathon has become a reference:
- Unconference model focused on hands-on work, training, and technical discussions.
- Run in a different location every year, with different local organizers supported by the Wikimedia Foundation's Engineering Community Team and experienced volunteers.
- Lightweight organization focused on simplicity and effectiveness, with almost no overhead.
- Budget for the organization approved in advance and complemented by travel sponsorship support from the Wikimedia Foundation, the local organizers, and other organizations.
- Local organizers focus on local work. Global aspects like travel sponsorships and the program can be delegated to the community. The WMF helps where is needed.
- Goals are measured by participants' satisfaction and tangible outcome. The number of attendees is not a goal per se.
Demo-able projects[edit | edit source]
We want to focus our hackathons on teaming, prototyping, and a showcase at the end of the event. A hackathon provides a good environment to accelerate the development of new ideas, to collaborate on tough problems, and to identify contributors capable of leading independent projects.
Organizers may plan for prizes or other types of incentives. The Wikimedia Foundation will look at the projects showcased, seeking opportunities to support the productization of interesting concepts.
Pairing buddies[edit | edit source]
In our hackathons and many events, participants have a natural inertia to clusters with others they know well, while other participants have a hard time mingling in. To solve this problem, we are experimenting with buddies, pairs of participants complementing each other. For instance, all Wikimedia Foundation employees are asked to find a non-WMF buddy. Potential participants requesting travel sponsorship will have higher chances of being accepted if they have a buddy. Hackathon organizers can help with establishing connections.
Some good buddy pairings:
- newcomer - insider
- volunteer - professional
- Wikimedia - non-Wikimedia / upstream
- developer - non-developer
- contributors to common projects
- speakers of common languages
- different countries
- different ages
- different gender
- ...
Finding your buddy[edit | edit source]
Think who is submitting patches to your repos, who is helping in your tasks, who contributes to your mailing list discussions... People out there are spending some of their time on your projects, when there are so many other interesting things to do. They will be honored if you send them an email proposing to be their hackathon buddies. Think also who is bringing criticism to your projects, invite them for some face-to-face collaboration.
Event organizers can help, offering a page to find buddies (e.g. Wikimedia Hackathon 2015/Buddies) and proposing connections based on the registration information.
Note that this is not only about looking among people who has registered to the event. You can think of experienced and productive buddies that you would like to work with at the event. A community developer you have never met in person, a colleague in an upstream project that would benefit from knowing more about Wikimedia, an experienced editor that will bring other perspectives and get involved... Buddy selection will increase the possibilities of travel sponsorship of both buddies.
Welcoming newcomers[edit | edit source]
Hackathons are good opportunities to reach out to new contributors. The buddy system mentioned above can be useful to connect newcomers with insiders. Specific activities must be planned in order to introduce them to Wikimedia tech and the activities of the event. The registration form should help identifying newcomers and other participants welcoming an introduction, as well as more experienced contributors willing to help welcoming them. See phab:T89392.
Note that there are different types of newcomers:
- Junior developers interested in Wikimedia.
- Not so junior developers interested in an international developer hackathon happening nearby.
- Developer communities strong in technologies used in Wikimedia: PHP, JavaScript, Android, iOS... (phab:T76325)
- Local or international contributors of upstream projects used in the Wikimedia stack. (phab:T76325)
- Tech-curious contributors, not necessarily developers, but experts in some related area (web publishing, open data, geolocation, etc).
- ... ?
Proposing a hackathon[edit | edit source]

Meeting[edit | edit source]
- Community decisions worth a face to face meeting.
- Social meetings and events.
Organization[edit | edit source]
- Costs and final balance.
- How much funds pooled for volunteer travel sponsorship, and from whom.
- Participants survey and summary report.
Random stuff[edit | edit source]
Name badges[edit | edit source]
At hackathons, the primary purpose of name badges is to reduce the stress of having to remember dozens of new names. Therefore, the names on the badges should be huge—at least 1.5 centimeters high. Other best practices for name badges include:
- Emphasize the person's given name, which is what you actually use to talk to them.
- Add extra information like the person's hometown, organizational affiliation, or interests (for example, "Mediawiki Core", "Bots", or "Wikisource"). But remember: if the information isn't big enough to read from several meters away, it won't actually be useful.
- Don't use clips which allow the badges to rotate. A badge which is flipped around so that only a blank back shows is useless.
- Use the back for useful reference information like the Wi-Fi password, contact information for the organizers, and highlights from the schedule
For other advice, see "6 inspiring conference badges" and Mike Davidson, "Building a better conference badge".
Stand up to get an idea of your audience[edit | edit source]
A hackathon idea stolen from the Swizz:
- Take a room and clear it of any chairs
- Draw two lines in the room to divide it in three parts
- Ask people for who it is the first hackathon to stand in the first square, 1-3 hackathons in the middle one, 4+ in the last square
- Ask people who know what to work on to stand near the window, not clue on the other side and in doubt in between
- You know subdivided the room in different groups by experience and what to work on
- Do a regular idea pitching session, but start with the people who are near the window
- Have two microphones so you can start from both the very experienced and the newbies and work to the middle

SlimLipo Connecticut
Laser Liposuction
SlimLipo® can help contour your body in those areas that are not responsive to diet and exercise such as saddlebags or a paunchy abdomen.
Like traditional liposuction, SlimLipo is not a weight loss method or a fix for obesity.
Who Should Get Slim Lipo?
Laser liposuction is typically used to reduce fat in the:
- Abdomen
- Ankles
- Arms
- Buttocks
- Cheeks
- Chin
- Hips
- Knees
- Neck
- Thighs
If you're wondering about a specific area for laser lipo, feel free to ask Dr. Collins during your consultation.
What Does Laser Liposuction Do?
Traditional liposuction begins with the administration of some form of anesthesia including local anesthesia, intravenous sedation, or general anesthesia. This is accompanied with the infusion of a saline solution into the area of the body where liposuction will be performed.
The solution contains medication to minimize pain and bleeding. Then, a small hollow tube attached to a vacuum is inserted through a small incision into the fat layer beneath the skin. Dr. Collins will move it around to break up the fat, which is then vacuumed out the body.
Laser assisted liposuction adds the energy of a medical laser to liquefy the fat before removal. With Slim Lipo, Dr. Collins won't need to physically dislodge the fat from the surrounding tissue, allowing for a gentler surgical procedure. Also, the heat from the laser provides mild tissue tightening to enhance the results.
After Laser Liposuction: What Should I Expect?
The most common potential complications of laser liposuction include bruising, infection, minimal bleeding, numbness, skin burns and swelling. You'll probably be sore and a little swollen for a few days following laser liposuction. Dr. Collins will provide painkillers to keep you comfortable, and may advise you to wear a special compression garment to speed healing. Everyone's recovery is slightly different, but most people are able to return to work within a few days.
As you recover you'll notice that your skin may begin to tighten as the new layers of skin form. This firming may continue for up to six months after your procedure. These techniques remove fat cells that are not recreated. If you should gain weight, it's likely that fatty deposits will not expand in the areas where the procedure was performed.
Learn More About Slim Lipo in Guilford, CT
Fellowship-trained body contouring specialist Dr. Beth Collins routinely sees Connecticut liposuction patients from all over New Haven County, including patients from East Haven, West Haven, Madison, Branford and Guilford who want to achieve a more toned look and slimmer, sleeker body shape.

Wonderful results
I have been taking this product for several months to treat problems caused by severe PMS and ovarian cysts. I am amazed at the results. In the past few months my cramps and cystic pain have almost disappeared. The extreme breast pain and tenderness has almost completely gone. My emotional irritability and fatigue are not as intense as they were before. My skin is better. My overall mood is better. And I am finally having a regular and healthy menstrual cycle. Its really a noticeable improvement! I am very impressed.

We went for a tour around the lagoon of Venice on Sunday, up north past Burano and Torcello to the abandoned islands of Sant'Ariano, La Cura and further up to some of the fish farms in the lagoon.
Category: Venice
Venice – the unique city on water
No Grandi Navi
On May 9th there was a fairly large demonstration in Venice against the passage of the cruise ships in the lagoon. We went and took some photos.
Nativa by Arzanànavi
The Nativa is a super yacht built by Arzanànavi. It is quite often moored at the Certosa island from where we do our kayaking tours.
Kayaking ban in Venice – new rules
The rules for paddling in Venice city will be moderated from April 20th.
The new rules were decided by the city executive on April 3rd, published officially on April 9th and they'll be executive ten days after publication.
The kayak/canoe/dragon/sup ban in the Grand Canal and other canals will be reduced to the hours 8am-3pm on weekdays and 8am-1pm on Saturdays. On Sundays and holidays there are no limits.
There's a series of minor canals designated as "blue" canals, reserved for non motorised boats, running north to south through the city centre, and it will be allowed to cross the Grand Canal in proximity with these "blue" canals, giving precedence to all other traffic, even in the hours where normal navigation on the Grand Canal is banned. In this way it is possible to move about the city also before 3pm on weekdays.
All the rest of the city is available for paddlers at all times.
The new rules seem to indicate that it will be obligatory to carry at all times (also by day) a white light, visible at 360°, to be lit between sunset and sunrise.
The ban has not been lifted completely, but changed from a blanket ban on certain canals to a system of time limits, which is not really different from what gondolas, taxis and goods haulers also have to abide by, so I don't think we can really complain. We're not treated worse than other categories of traffic in the city.
Kayaking ban in Venice – the city's proposal
The City of Venice has issues a wide ban on kayaks, canoes, SUPs, dragon boats and more.
Yesterday I had a meeting with a representative of the municipal government, sufficiently high up in the hierarchy to be able to influence municipal policies. While the meeting itself was rather inconclusive, there was a recognition that there is a real problem to solve, and another meeting will be called later, with both politicians and technicians present, in an attempt to find a solution.
The proposal from the municipal administration is to ease the ban a bit, allowing free passage for everybody after 5pm on Monday to Friday, after 1pm on Saturdays and all day on Sunday.
We have no idea whether they'll stick with this or if we can still make suggestions. We will no doubt make our suggestions.
For Venice Kayak the proposed modifications will be worth very little. We will have to move our longer tours to later hours, and the viable season for longer tours will be cut from 7-8 months a year to 3-4 months, if we are to avoid returning after dark.
Kayaking ban in Venice – dialogue with the city administration
Venice has issued a ban on kayaks, canoes, dragon boats and more, which is effective from Sunday, March 1st.
Currently it is illegal to go by kayak, canoe or dragon boat on the Grand Canal and several other canals in the city.
As a consequence, the city's canal network has been cut to pieces, from a kayaker's point of view, where it is not longer possible to go from one part to another.
Today I have had a meeting with the city official who have signed the new regulations, and it was not as bad as I had anticipated.
As things stand now, the ban is there and it is an offence to even paddle across the no-go canals.
However, the city administrators have finally understood that they have made a mistake by issuing a blanket ban like they have. Being unable to turn back, there will be a modification to the new rules, which will give kayaks, canoes and dragon boats more room so it will be possible to move around the city in a reasonably rational way.
In short, there will be some points on the no-go canals where passage will be allowed, most notably on the Grand Canal. There will be some limits on when you can pass, it'll be mostly in the afternoon, and maybe even on who can pass, for example a requirement that there is a qualified coach in a group of kayaks.
It is my hope that they will also allow passage, at least in the afternoon, on parts of the lower Canal Grande, so we can still visit the ancient gondola shipyards in the Dorsoduro area, which will otherwise be unreachable.
While this will not be a perfect solution, it will be a marked improvement on the no-exceptions-allowed ban they have made for now.
The current rules banning kayaks etc from the Grand Canal and more, are not made by the city administration alone, and the city administration cannot therefore change them alone.
The changes from February 11th were published after a meeting of what they call a conferenza dei servizi, where all the different public bodies meet to coordinate.
A change to the new rules will have to pass the same way. This means that there will be a meeting on March 12th, where a commission will meet to prepare everything for the next meeting of the conferenza dei servizi, where a change can be formally decided.
Once we get there, we'll know what they'll come up with.
I do not know the date of the next meeting of the conferenza dei servizi, but I've been told that they're normally held once a month.
Legal Challenge
The legal challenge to the kayaking ban in Venice will not stop before the city administration publishes what exactly they intend to do, and they cannot do that before the meeting of the conferenza dei servizi has met, and at than point they have also decided.
There will be no public hearing, beside the kind of privately requested meetings with city officials, like the one I had today.
The Arcobaleno association has no intend of backing down before they know what the new rules will be, so the process will go forward.
The collection of funds in support of the legal challenge continues.
The meeting
My appointment today was on behalf of my company Venice Kayak, so I did not represent anybody else there.
Besides explanations about what we're doing — kayaking excursions in Venice lead by qualified guides, and not any kind of rental to whoever shows up — the discussion was mostly about what kind of modifications we would need to be able to continue our work.
This maps shows the 'dispensations' we'll need to be able to carry on in the way we have done now in seven years, without accidents or conflicts.
Summarised we need
- a few passages on inner city canals to connect the otherwise detached segments of the city's canal network,
- some predetermined points where we can cross the Grand Canal, on each of the three parts of the canal, and
- the possibility of transiting on a part of the lower Grand Canal to reach otherwise unreachable areas.
For now we're crossing our fingers, hoping for the best.
If the city administration cannot come up with a working solution for us and the other paddlers in Venice, we will have no choice but the throw all our effort at the legal challenge the Arcobaleno association is preparing.
Kayaking ban in Venice – legal challenge
Venice has issued a ban on kayaks, canoes, dragon boats and more, which will be effective from Sunday, March 1st.
This ban will harm the activities of several groups.
The local kayaking association Arcobaleno has initiated a legal challenge to the new regulation banning kayaks and canoes in Venice.
Arcobaleno is one of the oldest kayaking clubs in the wider Venice area, and they have been active for many many years.
A Paypal account firstname.lastname@example.com has been set up to collect funds for the legal battle ahead. The needs aren't huge, all in all around €3000 will be needed, but it is more than the club and its supporters have.
Even contributions of €5, €10 or €20 will be a help in the fight to keep Venice open for paddlers.
Kayaking ban in Venice – where and how to help
Venice has issued a ban on kayaks, canoes, dragon boats and more, which will be effective from Sunday, March 1st.
This ban will harm the activities of several groups.
All of these groups, together with the Italian Federation for Canoe and Kayak (FICK) and other organisations are trying in various ways to counter this blanket bans of most paddle crafts in Venice.
A lot of discussion is going on the Facebook group called Salviamo Venezia andando a remi e pagaie.
Most of the discussion is in Italian, but it is open for all interested parties. I try to put in something in English every once in a while, but I'm neither the creator nor an administrator of the group.
There's a petition on change.org asking for the new regulations to be recalled.
At the time of writing it is approaching 2000 signatures, and you can all give us a hand by heading over there to sign.

Even contributions of €5, €10 or €20 will be a help in the fight to keep Venice open for paddlers.
Who's affected by the new prohibitions in Venice
The new regulations banning kayaks, canoes and dragon boats will affect quite a few clubs and activities in Venice.
The association Venice Canoe & Dragon takes (or rather, has taken) school kids in dragon boats through the city. Until now they have done so for 9000 kids, but that is a thing of the past now. Now the kids cannot experience the city on water from the water any more, unless they take a taxi.
The Pink Lionesses of Venice is an association for women who are survivors of breast cancer. Their pink dragon boat was once a common sight on the Grand Canal, but they too will have to paddle elsewhere.
Several of the rowing clubs based on the mainland will no longer be able to row or paddle in the Grand Canal. This also seems to apply to Venetian rowing, if the club is not based in Venice city or on the lagoon islands. This will affect the Società Canottieri Mestre and, I believe, the Voga Veneta Mestre, both well respected members of the Venetian rowing community.
All the individuals, clubs, associations and companies from outside Venice, that used to do the occasional tour to Venice in kayak, canoe or dragon boat will now face a fine if they venture onto the Grand Canal or any of the no-go canals in the future.
Due to the massive exodus from Venice towards the mainland during the last decades, there are actually more Venetians living in Mestre and Marghera than in Venice proper, and they will now be excluded from experiencing their native city as it was always intended, in a rowed by from the water.
At a cultural level, this new ban in a blow to the heart of everything that is Venetian.
My company Venice Kayak will at least be impeded by the published ban on kayaking on the Grand Canal, but we will probably be less hurt than the others, since we can still use some of the smaller canals in the city, where dragon boats cannot go.
"Detourism" in Venice
The City of Venice has a project they call "Detourism" supposedly promoting sustainable tourism in Venice.
They describe it this way:
Travel Venice like a local
DETOURISM is a new project of the City of Venice for curious travellers who enjoy wander off the beaten path looking for the Venice most unusual and secret places and discovering its original characters.
Because Venice is the perfect place to get lost.
Travelling in a different way.
Experiencing Venice like a Venetian.
Discovering another Venice.
So ditch the itinerary and become a detourist, find out what travel guides never tell, and discover an unexpected Venice.
The idea of DETOURISM is to invite guests to the lagoon to put themselves in the shoes of the local people; not to be a tourist but to travel the city slowly and with love, to get lost in search of a more authentic and lesser-known Venice.
And then they ban kayaks, canoes and dragon boats, harming a whole series of very off-the-beaten tracks offers of sustainable tourism.

Janet Yellen, chair of the U.S. Federal Reserve, left, speaks with Mario Draghi, president of the European Central Bank, during the Jackson Hole economic symposium in Wyoming on Friday. Yellen said 'the labor market has yet to fully recover.'
- Filed Under
If anyone thought Janet Yellen might clarify her view of the U.S. job market in her speech Friday, the Federal Reserve chair had a message:
The picture is still hazy.
Though the unemployment rate has steadily dropped, Yellen suggested that other gauges of the job market have become harder to assess and may reflect persistent weakness. These include many people jobless for more than six months, millions working part time who want full-time jobs and weak pay growth. ...

Just in case anyone was curious. Here is teh drive train.
Translated and everything Looks neat.
so its a derrallier in a can.
they explain how it works really well in this months issue of mountain bike action.
Except for the sproket that keeps the drive line straight thereby reducing wear. It is a deraileur in a can but at the same time improves on it. Remove poor chainline helps in more ways then just function
yeah, plus no dirt or mud can get to it.
I'm converting my MTB to the same Drivetrain found on the Landrider Autobike... this way I never have to shift again
'03 Trek 4500, Marzocchi MX Comp ETA, Avid mechs w/flak Jackets, Shimano XT Deraillers, XT Hubs w/Rhynolites
why, does it really take that much out of you to shift?
If they could make a systems as efficient as manul shifting I could see a use. But I know for sure it wouldnt shift in times of need or at the torque that I like.
The original system was nuts. It used some system of a cam with a variable end so that by moving the end (changing the leverage) it would "shift" gears. The problem was do to the oscillating motion, it also needed gears that were not round but cut in an octagon. To add even more tech to the mix, the system would be destroyed if the bike was rolled backwards, so the freewheel on the rear wheel only engage under power and not the rear wheel rotating backwards.

Neato. Always wondered how those workedOriginally Posted by Maelstrom
I like that idea. I thin it gives the bike a clean look. thats half the reason why I like single speed, because I dont like looking at all that junk.
Indeed Version 3 was well explained in MBA magazine. I was amazed how simple and efficient the design is. Even more amazed that nobody thought of that until now.
The only problem: it is limited to 8-9 gears.
So the question is, could this technology make its way to all mountain or even XC biking? Maybe, but somebody has to find a way to put a derailleur on the drive side and keep the sprockets "floating" to keep the short chain alligned. Clearly the derailleur has to float also! I bet it is a matter of time before they nail this.
So this isn't the design with the unlimited gearing. Its a really expensive 8-9spd.
Why the hell do some companies feel the need to reinvent the wheel. I don't see why changing things just for the sake of changing them is a good idea. My 3 cents.
The last of a dying breed..

No rear derailleur is spring loaded but fixed! For a 27 gear combination the front derailleur has to float with the drive sprokets (in adition to shifting between the 3 sprokets) in order to keep the short chain aligned. If you look at the MBA article it will be more clear, I think.
I don't give MBA my money. I thought you were talking the rear deraileur which doesn't 'kind of' float. The whole front would have to float as well. I understand what you were saying now.
i dont think this bike is "limited to 8 or 9 gears", because there are almost no dh bikes that have more thatn 9. I also read that this new gear box can shift with out pedaling because the internals are always moving. just like the crazy top secret last one.
Rohollf acts like that too. Perfect for dh
whats rohollf?
Its an internally gear 8spd (maybe 7) hub. Great systems, strong and allows shifting without pedalling
ok, do any bike companys sell bikes with those on them?
nicolai. Generally an aftermarket item. It makes the bike a little unbalanced to the rear so companies that stock them on bikes tend to have a gearing systems based in the centre with a ss hub on the back. (using it like a gearbox instead of the hub)
hahaha, why do canadians spell like this?Originally Posted by Maelstrom
Because it is the proper way. Americans took the proper spelling and made it all phoenetic so you didn't have to learn to spell correctly.
Colour, Labour etc...
we are quite lazy down here.
