Snow Play: How To Make Forts & Slides & Winter Campfires Plus the Coolest Loch Ness Monster and 23 other Brrrilliant Projects in the Snow
ISBN13:by Ralston, Birgitta
Workman Pub Co
DIY goes outdoors in dozens of projects for creating witty and innovative designs in the snow. Simple ideas such as a snow lantern (made of snowballs) and snow angels rub shoulders with larger-scale creations like a snow bar for an outdoor cocktail party and a winter fireplace for roasting marshmallows and camping in the snow. A section on snow games and play--from a snowball fight with real rules to forging footprints with handmade snowshoes--is ideal for group fun. There's even a "no-snow" section including frozen munchies (edibles for ice cubes) and other freezer crafts. Ralston keeps it stylish and simple throughout, interspersing snow facts and miscellany with clear step-by-step instructions, advice for using the simplest household tools, and full-color photos of each finished project.

Remains of hiker likely found in Grand County
GRAND LAKE, Colo. (AP) — Human remains found in the Indian Peaks Wilderness earlier this month are believed to be that of a 72-year-old woman who disappeared during a hike two years ago.
Searchers found remains, clothing and identification belonging to Patricia Wallace of Lafayette on Friday near Thunderbolt Creek after a backpacking family found bones there on Aug. 9, Grand County Undersheriff John Stein said Tuesday.
A DNA analysis will be done to confirm the remains belong to Wallace, but her family already has been notified that the remains are believed to be hers.
Wallace was hiking with friends in the Camp Dick area on July 3, 2012, when she decided to take another route she thought would be easier. Searchers from Grand and Boulder counties spent 13 days searching for her.
The scattered remains were found at the upper part of a canyon. Investigators believe they likely were pushed down the drainage from a pass or peak above by avalanches and spring runoff over the last two years, Stein said.
The sheriff's office identified the backpackers who found the remains as the Sippel family of Santa Fe, New Mexico, and released a statement from them calling the discovery a miracle. They were looking for a flat spot to set up camp when they found the remains in tall vegetation along the creek.
"This was a ways off the beaten path. If we had done any one thing differently that afternoon, even little things, we would not have made the discovery," the family said.
Because there was no cellphone service, the family wrote a detailed note of the bones and location to alert authorities and gave it to the first hikers who passed by the following day.
Stein said they didn't want their individual names to be released to avoid detracting attention from Wallace.

Sugaring the Pill
A doctor's guide to living the good life gave its medieval readers something to chew on.
The best sugar of all is white and clean. It is good for purifying the body, and is beneficial for the chest, kidneys and bladder. Its few faults - sugar makes one thirsty and irascible - can be neutralized with the help of sour pomegranates.
Educated Arabs of the 11th century read this information in a book that today would undoubtedly be titled "Guide to the Good Life." It was written by a physician from Baghdad named Ibn Butlan. The Arabic name of the book is Taqwim al-Sihha (Tablet of Health). The author was baptized into Christianity at a young age, but he absorbed his medical wisdom from the world of Islam. His travels took him to Mosul and Diyarbakir, among other places, and he spent time with the greatest physicians of his age in Egypt. In the end, he retired to a monastery in Antioch and died in the year 1068.
Ibn Butlan's famous book was presented to the reader in the form of tables and divided by subject: Plants, animals, emotions and weather conditions. Next to each of these concepts the author explains their effects - good and bad - on human health.
The West waited a long time for a patron who would devote his money to translating this literary-scientific work (which relies considerably on sources from the ancient period) from Arabic to Latin. This finally happened in the middle of the 13th century, in the court of King Manfred, in Palermo, Sicily.
Around 1900, unique manuscripts on the subject of health were found in several libraries in Europe. The manuscripts all had the same title in Latin: Tacuinum Sanitatis Medicina. One such work was found in 1895 in the Austrian imperial collection in Vienna. Soon afterwards, a similar work was found in the French National Library in Paris, and in 1905 a third manuscript was located in Rome. Two additional manuscripts, found in Rouen, France and Liege, Belgium, belong to this group.
These five manuscripts are a Western adaptation of Ibn Butlan's book, variations of the original work that were prepared in the late Middle Ages and included most of the texts from the physician's book. Unlike the Arabic original, the written words are accompanied by illustrations, from the peak of the late Gothic period in Italy. The five manuscripts were created during a very short time (in the course of two decades from the end of the 14th century through the beginning of the 15th century) and in a particular geographic region, which today comprises northern Italy. The Latin name of these works incorporates something from the Arab heritage that was absorbed in the West. Tacuinum is a transliteration of the Arabic word taqwim (table), distorted a bit with an accepted Latin ending. (In Italian, the concept is preserved in the word for notebook: taccuino.)
In the past, researchers tended to look for the sources of the visual influences on these Latin manuscripts only in Western art because the original work was not accompanied by illustrations. In his book on Tacuinum Sanitatis, the art historian Luisa Cogliati Arano suggests looking for additional sources of inspiration: in Arab scientific and botanical manuscripts, which were illustrated throughout the Middle Ages; in the gardens of residents of what is today southern Spain, where spices still sprout as if taken straight from the Tacuinum Sanitatis; and in restaurants in Italy, where some of the food appearing in the writings illustrated 600 years ago is still being cooked.
The Tacuinum Sanitatis dealt with a complete world of subjects, or at least attempted to present the readers with information that touched upon all possible aspects of their lives, from managing the household to matters of health. The manuscript that is now in Rouen opens with a quotation: "From the words of the doctor - The Tacuinum Sanitatis deals with six things necessary for preserving any person's health ... The first - the behavior of the air, which affects the heart; the second - the proper use of food and drink; the third - correct application of movement and rest; the fourth - the problem of depriving the body of sleep (heightened wakefulness); the fifth - the proper use (reduction or preservation) of body fluids; the sixth - maintaining moderation, between happiness, anger, fear and tension in a person's life."
A similar introduction appears in the manuscripts in Rome and Vienna. It is missing from those in Paris and Liege. In these two manuscripts, the introduction is replaced by a list of the 16 greatest physicians of the ancient world.
Arano regards the health books as part of a semi-secular category intended for the libraries of the affluent people of the period that prospered in parallel to religious writing. She argues that the illustrators and transcribers created manuscripts at various artistic levels. The areas of influence on these works were also not uniform, ranging between the Po Valley and Tuscany, to France and Bohemia.
The manuscript at Liege opens with a portrait of the work's author. In the following sheets there is a fig tree, with a young person in its branches, picking fruits, grapes, peaches, plums, pears and sweet and sour pomegranates. Slowly, architectural structures begin to appear in the illustrations. There are also more human figures as the pages progress. Thus, the reader advances from a rural to an urban environment, from the dominant presence of nature (with its plants and animals) to a world in which the human being stands in the center. Later, various foods are shown. The bean, according to the text, helps one urinate. Barley soup is beneficial in its positive influence on body fluids; black bread is liable to cause itching and irritation.
In sheet 40v, ricotta cheese appears. As far as it is known, this is the earliest visual description of this cheese. The textual description explains that the clear benefits of ricotta are, of course, nutrition and fattening. For people of the Middle Ages, its disadvantage was its liability to cause stomach aches.
The manuscript includes an abundance of cooked food, some of which can be recognized by name. There are also many kinds of meat, including rabbit and camel meat, which appear one after another. The Middle East was never closer to Europe.
Sheet 66v describes anger. In Christian thought, this is one of the sins punishable by death. Here it is characterized simply as "boiling of the blood in the heart." And this even has some benefits - in bringing back color to the cheeks. The disadvantages of anger can be handled with relative ease. Philosophy, the author claims, has been proven to be an effective antidote to anger.
Sheet 75v describes bathing as an action that is appropriate for every soul. Later in the book the author also describes "rooms and their air" as good for healthy people and harmful to those who tend to faint.
The manuscript in Paris is different in style. In many of its sheets, the figures of a woman and a knight appear; these are missing from the four other manuscripts. The entry on sexual relations explains it as "a connecting of the couple for the purpose of creating a seed." The author also warned that this activity is dangerous for anyone with cold and dry breath.
In the Rouen manuscript, sheet 29v describes the danger in eating acorns, though a boar appears in the illustration eating them with pleasure. For women, they are liable to stop the monthly period. Roasting acorns and dipping them in sugar will prevent this problem.
In the Rome manuscript, cloths of various materials are presented. Wool, the author claims in utmost seriousness, protects the body from cold and preserves warmth. Its disadvantage: It leads to an itching of the skin.
The manuscript now stored in the national library in Vienna includes 206 miniatures, each of which takes up a complete page. It was apparently created in Verona by two major illustrators. Aside from plants and animals, and various food and medicines, there appears in sheet 92 a salesman carefully weighing the white sugar in his store. In those days, everyone knew that "sugar is good for people of all temperaments, all ages, in every season and every region."

I imagine that when bikes were made from wood, the crossbar had an important function in maintaining the rigidity of the frame, but nowadays, when materials are strong enough that the bar can be lowered to a position allowing the rider to step through the frame, does it honestly have a purpose other than pandering to the male's frequently fragile sense of masculinity?
I'm a guy, grew up in England and spent a few years in the Netherlands (where I think there are more "ladies'" than "gents'" bikes) before coming back and I prefer to ride a bike with no crossbar. I think it enables easier disengagement from the bike and is probably safer in the event of a fall, for similar reasons. The only advantage that I can conceive is that it may be possible to make a shorter path for a crossbar than if the bar was lower down, in which case it could save weight, but if that's the case, why aren't they restricted to bikes which are all about performance?

Beautifull shot Marilyn.
Thanks, Alex.
I was pleased considering that the building was locked and I had to take it from the outside through a window! I was so intrigued with the scene that I gave it a try.
It was at a small outdoor museum or folk museum similar to some I've visited in Europe.
Taking the picture from the outside through a window, only makes it better.
Greetings Marilyn, What a nice picture and the story makes it even better. Great job!
That's a splendid shot the daylight coming light the oil lamp out. Nano
Many thanks, nano, for your visit and your generous comments.
And thanks, Rich. I like doing little vignettes when I notice them--though they're too low-key to be much noticed on Panoramio.
Very original and a great picture.
Hi, Marilyn! I "arrive" here after to see your comment about a Enrique´s photo. I like your album... I´m glad to know it. This photo is very nice. Greetings from Argentina.
Very simple and beautiful pic! Greetings from Bulgaria!
Very belated thanks to Roger, Luis, and artwall!
Believe me, Bruce, I wanted to check out the inside of the cabin! But it had just closed for the day. We came at that time so my husband could attend a presentation there (he turned out to be an audience of one--it was a technical topic and not a popular one) and I could try to get some exterior shots.

Promises DeliveredPosted by fjjensen in The Data Stack on Dec 3, 2009 4:26:21 PM
By Frank Jensen, Performance Marketing Engineer
Data Center Group Marketing, Intel
Intel woke up many years ago and realized that if we didn't keep sharpening our skills and a laser focus on delivering better experiences for our customers that they would go away. And they started to. So, a promise was made (and kept to-date) that we would deliver performance that mattered to our customers. This turned into the "tick-tock" model where we shrink our manufacturing process every other year and on the alternate years we introduce a new microarchitecture. You probably already have been reading about the multiprocessor segment (MP or EX-expandable servers as we call them internally); and you likely have heard rumblings about "Nehalem-EX", but I wanted to let you know what I've seen on the performance side to-date.
I dug up this old chart from 2007 (originally in a press briefing from 2004) talking about how we forecasted performance gains expected over the next 5 years or so (and no, we didn't sandbag J).
Figure 1- Source: http://download.intel.com/pressroom/kits/events/idffall_2007/BriefingSmith45nm.pdf
In the multi-processor space, we're seeing the same trend. Our upcoming launch of the next generation Intel® Xeon® processor (codenamed "Nehalem-EX") is a WOW – even bigger than the 5500 series launch (formerly "Nehalem-EP"). We've already disclosed some details – like delivering greater than nine times the memory bandwidth available to the applications over the 7400 series (formerly "Dunnington"), and we also talked publicly about being able to drive three times the number of transactions in database workloads. The recent SuperComputer trade show (SC'09) had more discussion supporting that indeed this is a processor to keep an eye on for even HPC workloads - compute demand continues to be insatiable for researchers.
Figure 2 - Source: Intel internal measurements with preliminary Nehalem-EX results.
My friends, this 55x result is off the chart from our promises of years ago! Does performance matter? We think so. In so many ways, the quicker a job gets done or the more responsive a server is, the quicker a solution is found or more satisfied the end customer becomes – improving ROI or allowing for more options to be explored in the same amount of time. That's how we hope to fulfill our promise.
There a lot of benchmarks and metrics, some probably useful, some not – but what's important to you? What do you look for when deciding whether to buy a "big iron" computer or a couple of smaller standard ones? Let us know!

I just replaced the battery in my wife's car. I've never noticed this before until now, although I don't drive her car very much so I don't know if this happened with the old battery. When I use either the power windows or turn on the cabin fan, the headlights get a little dimmer. I'm assuming that isn't normal behavior. Any guess as to what the problem could be?

story. An oft-neglected part of it concerns the role of Spain in the Ameri-
can Revolution.' A generally unknown sidebar to that story is the unique
and interesting way that Texas-its soldiers, ranchers, and cattle-con-
tributed to the winning of the war for independence." Overlooked by
most historians much too long, the contribution of Spain, Texas includ-
ed, was vital in the winning of American independence over two hun-
dred years ago.
If the average Texan or American were asked what was going on in
Texas during the American Revolution, the answer would probably be
that nothing was happening. But Spanish archival records indicate that
there was far more activity in Texas than is generally acknowledged
among the public and in textbooks."
One of the most interesting and significant records, for example, is
the muster roll for the company of cavalry stationed at Presidio San An-
tonio de Bexar on the Fourth ofJuly, 1776. While fifty-six Americans af-
fixed their signatures to the Declaration of Independence at the old
State House in Philadelphia, eighty-two Texans were listed on the

' Spain engaged Great Britain not only on the North American continent during the Ameri-
can Revolution but also in such far-flung places as Nicaragua, the West Indies, Bermuda, the
Azores, Cape Verde Islands, Senegal, off the British coast, Gibraltar, Minorca, Capetown, and
even India. The best book thus far on Spain's role in the winning of American independence is

I bought her from a friend in '92 or thereabouts 'cuz he ended up with a back problem which made cycling problematic (he must've put less than 250 miles on her at best). Anyway, it's got a 7sp 105 grouppo. Unfortunately, the backend is only 126mm which prevents me from going with a full drivetrain upgrade, but since I was mainly a mountain biker for the balance of the 90s and non-existent on the road in this century, she's pretty much nearly brand new.
And my latest trophy:
2005 Litespeed Tuscany - a lil' over a week old. Just got the pedals installed a couple days back. Full Ultegra gruppo, aside from the Mavic Equipe wheelset. I figured I was so excited to get reacquainted with my first serious love: cycling - that I celebrated in a BIG way. :D
You know, I have to admit, the concept of owning TWO road bikes (let alone MORE THAN TWO), seemed pretty absurd to me . . . until I came across this place! LOL! :p
Sure thing, here you go:Quote:

I am 6'2 and mostly leg. The bike is actually a tad small I need to get a 120 stem to replace that 110 on it now. I have a few rides on it and the drop seems to be fine.
Here's my Bianchi San Lorenzo.

Those are seriously stylish cages! Beautiful bike too, by the way. the only thing i would have changed is i would have made it Record instead of Dura-Ace.......but thats a personal decision.
Very sexy bike.
I do believe that is the first white saddle that I've ever seen.Quote:

Well, with some things, I stick to what I know. I've always used Shimano and been happy with it, so that's what I got for this bike. I've never used Campagnolo, but I might try it one day.

Racemi DynaCenter* enables partners and customers to easily migrate server workloads between dissimilar physical, virtual, and cloud platforms thanks to DynaCenter's automated server migration process which captures the entire server "stack" – operating system, applications, network, and storage configuration – and then transforms the workload in flight to run correctly on the target platform. This automated, unattended process makes server workload migrations fast and cost effective. Once your initial migration and verification testing is complete, DynaCenter also supports delta-data synchronization, which recognizes block level changes to files since the previous capture, and transmits the changed blocks to the target securely using firewall- friendly, outbound HTTPS connections to provide maximum protection and reliability. This ensures the new servers have the latest production data, configuration, and settings prior to the migration cut over process.
With the latest release of DynaCenter, we now offer near real-time change detection for Windows servers, which dramatically improves the performance of delta-data replication between the source and target system. In addition, Racemi has also improved performance of the initial migration process by up to 30%! DynaCenter 6.3 has even added source server validation checks to enable administrators to quickly and easily identify source server configuration issues that might cause migration failures such as WMI corruption, limited memory or disk space, and much more. For a list of 6.3 enhancements and bug fixes see our release notes here. Other key features include:
Migrations to AWS are free for qualified customers – click here for more information
can leverage DynaCenter's powerful server migration capabilities to speed project timelines and win more business. Focus billable hours on higher business value areas and give your consulting business an edge over the competition. Consider Racemi DynaCenter if you need:
can use Racemi DynaCenter to drive revenue and reduce costs by streamlining end customer migration to their cloud or hosting services. Reduce the time it takes to onboard your customers to speed monthly recurring revenues, improve retention, and drive further adoption of your services.

Hello everybody,
We're a British couple on our way to China from Indonesia and are just over half way there. We've been on the road for 8 months and have about 7 more left.
We're both 27 and neither of us were cyclists before this trip (Although Liv occasionally commuted to work). We're having fun learning the difference between a cassette and a freewheel, and and the phrase 'if it ain't broke, fix it til it is' Its been a steep learning curve for us but we're total converts to the two wheel ways.
Our blog is here wecycletour
We're trying to document and raise money for a charity along the way so any advice on fundraising would be appreciated. We've recently started selling a few photos to raise money.
We've biked through tropical heat and up volcanoes but are going to be in China and the freezing mountains before long. This is way out of our comfort zone and anything we've experienced before (even in the UK) so we're excited about that -if a little apprehensive.
Nice to meet you
Liv and Rob

Man battles for life after eating slug infected with rat lungworm
- From: AAP
- May 13, 2010
- Man ate slug for a dare
- Caught rare rat lungworm disease
- Is fighting for life in hospital
A SYDNEY man is critically ill after eating a slug as a dare, leading authorities to issue health warnings on devouring raw gastropods.
The 21-year-old contracted rat lungworm disease - a rare form of meningitis - after the stunt.
Rat lungworm disease is caused by Angiostrongylus cantonensis, a parasitic worm that is carried in the pulmonary arteries of rats. Larvae are excreted in the rat's droppings, which are often eaten by slugs and snails.
The disease can cause fatal swelling of the brain and spinal cord.
However, Jeremy McAnulty from New South Wales Health said most people do recover. He said the worm goes away by itself because the body's immune system eventually gets rid of it.
Dr McAnulty said people should not eat raw slugs or snails and should ensure they wash their hands after touching them.
"It is also important to thoroughly wash and cook any produce that could be contaminated by animals," he said.
The worm was found mainly in Asia and the Pacific Islands. It was rare for people to contract rat lungworm disease in Australia, but it occurred occasionally from eating an uncooked slug or snail, Dr McAnulty said.
Infected people may have no symptoms or only mild short-lived symptoms, he said.
Sometimes the infection causes meningitis, with symptoms such as headaches, stiff neck, tingling or pain in the skin, fever, nausea, and vomiting, Dr McAnulty said.
"Even if infected, most people recover fully without treatment," he said.
"However, it can sometimes cause severe meningitis.
"Because humans are not the natural host of the parasite, the parasite eventually dies without treatment."
Rat lungworm infection cannot be passed on to other people.

text: Do Smaller DC Plans Need Advisors? Seth J. Masters January 10, 2013 Americas, Defined Contribution Many smaller US defined contribution (DC) plans rely on guidance from advisors, and the majority of these DC plan sponsors are happy they do so. But how do plans gauge whether they really need advisors, and assess the benefits against the cost of advice? Our recent survey of plan sponsors found that 78% of DC plans with less than $50 million in assets use financial advisors and consultants (which I'll refer to collectively as "advisors"). And most plan sponsors need that help, because they are senior leaders of their companies, and shepherding their DC plans is just one among their many priorities. The plan sponsors who don't use an advisor cited the expense of hiring advisors, the fact that their recordkeepers provide the same services, and concern that advisors put their own firms' commercial interests ahead of plan sponsors' needs. It can be tough to determine if the advisor's help is worth the cost, because most smaller plans lack the resources to establish best practice guidelines, and to comparison shop among providers. That's why we compared the survey responses of plans that use advisors to the responses of those that don't, to see whether there were material benefits to using advisors. How Plan Sponsors Benefit from Advisors In category after category, smaller-plan sponsors using an advisor were more confident than their advisorless peers¾about plan fees, communications, fiduciary responsibility, governance, operational procedures, and understanding the needs of their participants. Of the respondents who use an advisor, for fully 75% the biggest benefit is help with investment reviews. The advisor helps answer questions such as: Do I have the right investment menu? Have I chosen the best funds in each category? Are the funds doing what they're supposed to do? Advisors also made sponsors more confident that they've provided enough participant communication—and that they're getting the best value for fees. About 60% of respondents said they appreciate help with fiduciary and governance issues as well as with participant education and communication. And almost half look to advisors for help in reviewing fees—both for investments and for the plan. Fiduciary Best Practices Plan sponsors with an advisor are almost twice as likely to say their firm provides comprehensive training for all fiduciaries. They're a lot more likely to have a documented process to ensure that plan decisions meet fiduciary standards, and to have a comprehensive investment policy statement. As to the costs of the advice, 61% of plan sponsors with an advisor say the quality of the investment advice and guidance they receive is worth it. We think it would be a good practice for DC plan sponsors to evaluate their advisor service periodically, just as they would assess the investment and other fees they incur. Plan sponsors can use our survey results or their own research to benchmark and evaluate their advisor: Are you satisfied with the advisor's investment expertise and help with investment reviews? Are you getting timely clarity on fiduciary and governance issues? Is the advisor's assistance with reviewing plan and investment fees helpful to managing your plan's costs? And perhaps the most important assessment is whether the advisor is helping your DC plan continually improve at generating more successful retirement outcomes for participants.

SEATTLE (AP) — The Coast Guard says a train derailment in a Seattle industrial area, on Harbor Island, has spilled 600 gallons of diesel fuel on the ground near the West Seattle Bridge. There are no reports of diesel from Monday night's spill actually entering the water.
The agency is overseeing the cleanup.
The derailment involves a Union Pacific Railroad locomotive and two freight cars that carried cement ash.
The Coast Guard says the Seattle Fire Department and Seattle Pacific Railroad also responded.

Did Lemond dope? GLs been getting trashed by some for his comments re doping. Do you think he was a user in his TDF days?
Did Lemond dope? GLs been getting trashed by some for his comments re doping. Do you think he was a user in his TDF days?
Armstrong never got caught cheating.
That probably makes him as good a cheater as a cyclist.
-- Some guy at the Dallas Crits
He say he was ignorant of doping in his day. That is hard to believe.
I think Lemond should keep his mouth shut. He is one of the biggest whiners in sports...after all
his attacks on Armstrong I think he has really lost a lot of credibility to the point where I and many
others no longer pay attention to anything he says.
I would rather be a whiner than a cheater though. I am sure he doesn't give a 'F' about his "credibility" . He has done his work. As for his opinions, he is not very relevant anyways. If he bashes Lance....so what? Lance is no angel either. BTW, Merckx doped. Notice he doesn't say too much on the subject, and no one bashes him. Christ, I have a painting of him( Merckx, not Christ) in my hallway.....
I don't know if Greg doped or not - but it wouldn't surprise me if some day he said he had.
Consider this from the OLN special on Greg Lemond that aired the evening the TDF concluded. "In 1991, something had changed in the peleton...".
That one statement ruined all credibility that had been been building through the whole show.
Hey Greg, ever hear of Tommy Simpson? Charlie Gaul? It isn't like something just started occurring in '91. Maybe some of the riders came upon a more effective way of doping then, but the concept and practice have been around since the beginning of the sport. You had to know it had been going on from the first week you rode in Europe (if not well before then). I'm sorry, but I dislike hypocrisy almost as much as I dislike cheating.
In search of what to search for.
He's obviously the only rider who has never doped.
Professional bike racer + multiple 3-week Tour winner = doped.
Yes, and most pros would agree --off the record of course! Jacques Anquetil admitted this freely when he was alive (he, unlike Landis or Armstrong was honest about it at least).Originally Posted by ed073
And for further corroboration, just listen to Oscar Peirero who basically said that he did not want the tdf title if Landis was destituted... I wonder why...

I fondly remember that one time, in the early 80's or late 70's, on a particularly steep climb, some bozo was insulting him and standing in his way... so the Blaireau got off his bike, punched out the annoying guy (who must have outwighed him by 75 pound) and promplty got back on his bike and won the stage. It made French TV at the time.
Ah, le blaireau, une personnalite legendaire!
What is wrong with that? It's been going on forever in the tour. It's almost a tradition. You can't put the genie back in the bottle. Why not be the best athlete that science can build?Originally Posted by ed073
i think that once this poll reaches a definitive answer regarding the doping tendencies of one Mr. Lemond one of us should head over to Wikipedia and total Colbert the Greg Lemond page.
Originally Posted by Namenda
Egads...true, it is well known that doping has been and most likely is relatively wide spread in the peloton, but can we at least wait to see what the lab says first? LeMond, like MOST cyclists during that period and before probably did use some kind of enhancement. It may be discouraging to some of the "youngins" who aspire to be a professional, but it is a fact, only for now hopefully. But I don't think that it is going to stop most people from watching racing, nor cause anyone to hang their wheels up in the garage for good. I'm not going to miss any OLN coverage anytime soon if I can help it. Also, no one seems to want to examine just how new "modern" cycling is. Up until LeMond, european cycling was very much a sport that was a pathway out of a rather poverty level life. When "GL" showed up, cycling became far more available to the international community AND salaries increased sometimes as much as ten-fold for riders. Large coporations became interested and massive amounts of money started pouring into the sport. Today's racing is still an evolving enterprise and it's true that old habits die hard and I'm confident that drug use will be cut further and further as time goes on and hopefully, personal responsibility will increase also. By the way, does anyone here know that Merckx used to do advertisements for Camel cigarettes...standing with his bike in front of him while in his team duds!!!! I didn't believe it until I saw it!!

That's probally because Armstrong has a lot more to lose.Originally Posted by Blaireau
Nowhere in that quote or that entire show did Lemond suggest that doping suddenly started in the early 1990s.Originally Posted by USAZorro
The stuff that people like Gaul and Simpson used to take weren't things that necessarily gave much performance boost in a grand tour. Unlike EPO. Personally I think a rider could have won the TDF without doping, up until the time when they started blood doping and/or taking EPO. (although steroids seemed to help some riders such as Thevenet)
To get some perspective... Simpson died in 1967. That isn't far from the 80's. And he was drinking alcohol as a 'doping product'. The riders who were clean were probably the ones with the 'unfair advantage'.
Plain and simple.... Greg Lemond doped... he is now bitter for not having the celeb status that he would have if he lived in Europe and was French, Italian, Spanish etc. He is also bitter that Lance has taken the American image of TDF cycling.
Lemond..... I liked watching your races (great comeback from being shot....BUT 1.) you also doped (everyone does) 2.) get over yourself (no one likes a over weight whiner)

EPO wasn't around when lemond raced. It was introduced in 1989 by amgen..so you can count EPO use out for lemond. He may have done the autologolous packed cell transfusion.
I have a photographic memory....unfortunately I am out of film....
I witnessed Lemond in Paris, winning the TDF in 1989. He also won(the TDF) in 1990 and continued to race through 1992. Why do you think he couldn't have used EPO?Originally Posted by paednoch

I would really appreciate some feedback on the a ride I am recoverying from.
On 06 Feb I did a 155km, 7 hour Mountain Bike ride which was pretty flat and had a head wind for most of the ride. Although I was shattered, I did not hit the wall. I had the next day off, the following day ( 08 Feb )I went for a short recovery ride - my legs felt really flat, I had hoped to do a hard hill ride the next day (09 Feb) but my legs were still flat. Yesterday I got a hard hill ride in but my legs were not firing and did a 95km road ride today and again my legs felt really flat. 7 hours is the longest I have riden for but have done up to 180km on the road bike in the past. Based on the info given I am hoping someone can tell me how long should I allow my body to recover and is it still trying to recover?
Thank you.

Each week CityBeat staffers share their weekend plans: from dinner and drinks or special events to out-of-town concerts and stories we're working on. And some of us just watch TV.
Mike Breen: I'm planning on Bunbury-ing as much as possible this weekend at the Bunbury Music Festival. There are some great acts throughout the entire weekend that I hope to see, but my "all-in" day is Friday. If Danny The Editor lets me leave early, I'm going to arrive at Sawyer Point/Yeatman's Cove in time for the first band, the great, great Wussy, at 2 p.m. and I'm excited to see most of the acts performing throughout Friday. Tame Impala is one of my favorite artists of the past few years, so I'm especially psyched to see them, but also Catfish and the Bottlemen, Father John Misty, Multimagic, Royal Blood and Mini Mansions. My daughter has finally graduated from Disney Pop to actual Pop in the past year, so I'm taking her to see Cincinnati hitmakers Walk the Moon. I've been forcing them down her throat since their last album (which she indeed enjoys) and since "Shut Up and Dance" has become omnipresent on Top 40 radio, she's become a full-on fan. I'm excited to see them as well; like Wussy, I'm really proud of their amazing success and look forward to rooting them on. I'm a little concerned about the child lasting the full day, but there are swing sets and other cool not-watching-band things to do along the riverfront all weekend (she is, after all, still a kid). OH — and I'm planning on plugging any holes in my festgoing schedule with some recommendations from those brilliant bastards at CityBeat. If any of them suck, I'm canceling my subscription and leaving a nasty comment on their website.
Rebecca Sylvester: Going to see Ja Rule on Fountain Square with a bunch of friends from high school. I'll respond to Becky if Ja asks.
Zack Hatfield: I'm going to relive my lost youth and check out 16-Bit Bar+Arcade, which opens this Friday. That same day I'll probably head over to the Main Library for the Book Sale on its last day and buy a shelf's-worth of books with their buy-a-bag-for-$10 deal. On Saturday I plan to head over to Visionaries + Voices in Northside and check out their new MAPS + LEGENDS exhibit, which promises unique landscapes of Cincinnati.
Jac Kern: Friday night my guy and I are seeing the Entourage movie (OH YEAH)
even though there's no way it's going to be very good. But with the combination
of luxury loungers and a flask, we're sure to have an entertaining evening.
Like some of my colleagues, I, too will be checking out the free Ja Rule concert on
Fountain Square Saturday followed by a stop at 16-Bit. Unlike Mike, I am only interested in seeing concerts from musicians I listened to on my discman on the back of the bus in seventh grade (the last concert I saw was Beyoncé and Jay Z last summer, so I'm not exaggerating). I still know all Ja's
songs from 2000-2003 (well, at least the girl parts) and am tempted to buy a
JLo-esque denim bodysuit to truly live out my fantasy. Also, I've been to the
16-Bit in Columbus, and it was one of the most fun bars I've been to. If the vibe is anything like the
original location, it'll be a great spot. Then on Sunday I might round out the
weekend with a
torture session little shopping at Kenwood Towne Centre.
Jesse Fox: This weekend I will be photographing and attending Bunbury. I haven't photographed it the past two years, so I'm looking forward to getting back to documenting it. I have a few friends who are playing that I haven't seen in a while, so it will be a good time reuniting with them as well.
Sarah Urmston: After a long week of summer classes, work and internships, my boyfriend and I are super excited to have a much needed night in on Friday where he'll most likely cook something weird I can't pronounce while we watch 30 Rock re-runs together. Saturday will start with a birthday brunch at Taste of Belgium with the girls to celebrate my dear friend Kayla, followed by hanging at the Great American Ballpark for a Reds game. She's totally worth the overpriced draft beers, but I'll definitely try to hunt down the $1 hotdogs. I'm especially anxious to end the weekend at the Tri-State Antique Market in Indiana, picking out more vintage items I don't need to fill up my home. Not to mention they have the best homemade donut stand I've ever been to in my life!
Summerfair, NKY Pride 2015!, used book sales, the Fringe Festival, lots of concerts, craft beer parties and more.
Get weird with the CINCINNATI FRINGE FESTIVAL
The Cincinnati Fringe Festival — running through June 6 — is celebrating 13 years of theater, creativity and fun. A total of 40 shows (selected by 24 jurors) will be presented during the 12 days of the 2015 Fringe, split almost exactly between shows generated by local creators and productions from elsewhere in the U.S., plus four international acts representing South Africa, Japan, Canada and the United Kingdom. Through June 6. cincyfringe.com. Read reviews here.
Hit the Square for MIDPOINT INDIE SUMMER
Fountain Square's popular, free concert series kicks off this week — a true sign that summer is upon us. The first event in the MidPoint Indie Summer series (held Fridays through early September) is indicative of the strong roster of shows on the Square this year, showcasing a mix of quality touring headliners and some of local music's finest. Headlining Indie Summer's opening night is Surfer Blood, the superb, Florida-spawned Indie Pop Rock group that began drawing major attention with its 2010 debut album, Astro Coast. The band has since split with Warner Bros. Records and returned to its DIY roots with the just-released, hyper-melodic 1000 Palms, Surfer Blood's finest work yet and, fittingly, a perfect melancholic summer album. Three superb local acts round out Friday's bill: Harbour, Automagik and The Yugos. September's MidPoint Music Festival sponsors the Indie Summer series, and there will be opportunities to purchase (or win) passes for the 2015 event each week. 7 p.m. Friday. Free. Fountain Square, Fifth and Vine streets, Downtown, myfountainsquare.com.
Show your pride at NKY PRIDE 2015!
Let your pride flag fly with this year's Northern Kentucky Pride festival, which starts on Thursday and goes through Sunday. The fest will kick off with an ally training and fairness reception for participants to learn about specific LGBTQ issues in the community. Throughout the weekend, you can show your pride with scheduled activities from a pride bike ride with flamingos through MainStrasse's Goebel Park to a pub crawl and live music headlined by acoustic duo Linda and Taryn. During Saturday's official Pridefest, chill in the NKY Pride Beer Garden on Sixth Street with local brews, bring your pet to the PetZone (complete with photo booth), attend the pair of afternoon drag shows and, most importantly, help support social equality. Thursday-Sunday. Free. Search NKY Pride 2015! on Facebook for a full event schedule.
Grab a beer and a Filipino snack at CRAFTS AND CRAFTS at Krohn
Take a tropical vacation without leaving town by visiting Krohn Conservatory's Crafts and Crafts event, bringing together their Butterflies of the Philippines exhibit, a handful of craft vendors and local craft beer. It's a perfect evening to enjoy the colorful butterfly show while imbibing some adult beverages, including Filipino cocktails and food like roasted pork, chicharrón and fried peanuts. Must be 21. 5:30-7:30 p.m. Friday. $12; $15 door. Krohn Conservatory, 1501 Eden Park Drive, Mount Adams, 513-421-4086.
Blend light and sound with OSCILLATORS at Harvest Art Gallery
Intermedio, an ongoing sound-light collaboration between multi-disciplinary designer Eric Blyth and composers/installation artists Sam Ferris-Morris and Justin West, will present a one-night-only exhibition Friday at Harvest Gallery. Together, the three create immersive environments, such as last year's "Radiate" installation in ParProject's MakersMobile traveling exhibition, by incorporating digitally processed sound and video to engage their audiences in temporary interactive experiences. 6-10 p.m. Friday. Free. 216 W. 15th St., Over-the-Rhine, facebook.com/intermediodesign.
Get slightly melancholy with MARINA AND THE DIAMONDS at Bogart's
It's oddly wonderful how sometimes two songwriters will interpret the same concept in diametrically opposed fashions. For example, consider Pharrell Williams and Marina Diamandis, both of whom have very powerful songs called "Happy." Of course, Williams' composition is the musical manifestation of exuberance and joy, a bouncy sing-along that almost dares you to remain passive while it jukes and swings. Diamandis' "Happy," the opening track on Froot, the third Marina and the Diamonds album, couldn't be more different. A quietly moving, slightly melancholy reflection on the subject of finding the title emotion in making music, "Happy" — and much of Froot — hovers in the vicinity of Florence + the Machine and Aimee Mann, with wisps of Kate Bush's ephemeral eccentricity and Annie Lennox's arty populism creating an Electropop shimmer that could easily appeal to fans of Sara Bareilles or Lady Gaga. See Marina and the Diamonds 7 p.m. Friday at Bogart's. Get more information and purchase tickets here.
Get crafty at SUMMERFAIR
Here in the Queen City, the reopening of Coney Island — the pool, the rides, the food — means one thing: the start of summer. And the annual Summerfair clinches the deal. A Cincinnati tradition since 1967, Summerfair consistently ranks among the top 100 art shows nationally and features more than 300 artists from all around the United States in 12 categories, including painting, photography, sculpture, printmaking and mixed media. There will also be regional performers, including belly dancers, Celtic dancers, musicians and cloggers(!) on stages across the park, plus gourmet food. 2-8 p.m. Friday; 10 a.m.-8 p.m. Saturday; 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Sunday. $10 cash at the gate. Coney Island, 6201 Kellogg Ave., California, summerfair.org.
Take your dog to Washington Park for the FURRY FRIENDS FESTIVAL
If dogs are man's best friend, shouldn't they be able to have as much fun as we do during the weekend? Washington Park thinks so. Your furry friends are invited to spend a day in the park with other pups of all shapes and sizes, surrounded by tasty grub from Eli's BBQ and Mazunte, as well as free, live music performed by Bluegrass artists Casey Campbell, Michael Cleveland & Flamekeeper, The Tillers and more. Water will be available for the pups as well as locally brewed beer for the humans. 3-9 p.m. Free. 1230 Elm St., Over-the-Rhine, washingtonpark.org.
Buy some local wares at the OAKLEY FANCY FLEA MARKET
Oakley Fancy Flea is a low-key, curated market with high-end locally made wares in the heart of Oakley. Featuring vendors like Alien Pets, which makes knitted felt animals in all manner of shapes and sizes, Loveworn, upcycled clothing made from recycled T-shirts and even treats from Brown Bear Bakery, the Fancy Flea has almost doubled the space they'll use for the market this year, meaning almost double the amount of stuff to peruse and double the fun. 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturday. Free. 3047 Madison Road, Oakley, theoffmarket.org.
Check out Stephen Sondheim's dark musical ASSASSINS
Stephen Sondheim's dark musical about presidential assassins has become a classic since it was first staged in 1990. That was the same year that Falcon Theatre began producing shows in Greater Cincinnati. In 1998, Falcon's staging of Assassins put the company on local theatergoers' radar. You know the names: John Wilkes Booth, Squeaky Fromme, Lee Harvey Oswald and more — all disgruntled, unbalanced people whose twisted path to the American Dream involved shooting a president. In this fascinating show they converge, commiserate and conspire, each with music from his or her moment in American history. It's a strange tour de force. Through June 13. $18-$20. 636 Monmouth St., Newport, 513-479-6783, falcontheater.net.
Catch BUTCH WALKER at Bogart's
No one can accuse Butch Walker of not living up to his potential. For the past three decades, Walker has blazed a unique trail as a member of renowned bands, a critically acclaimed solo artist, a highly regarded producer and a prolific songwriter whose compositions for some of the industry's biggest names have hit the upper reaches of the charts.Walker's last three albums — 2010's I Liked It Better When You Had No Heart, 2011's The Spade and the just-released and patently excellent Afraid of Ghosts — all hit the top spot on Billboard's Heatseekers chart. As a producer, Walker has worked with an almost schizophrenic range of musical talent, from Pete Yorn, Sevendust and Weezer to Lindsay Lohan, Avril Lavigne, Pink and Taylor Swift. If the music industry is looking to coronate a new man for all seasons, surely the crown would fit comfortably on Butch Walker's hit-crammed head. See Butch Walker with Jonathan Tyler and The Dove and the Wolf 7 p.m. Saturday at Bogart's. Get more information and purchase tickets here.
Celebrate King Records with a reading of CINCINNATI KING in the park
Washington Park hosts a free staged reading of Cincinnati King, a new play that shares the history of King Records, Cincinnati music and racial equality by Playhouse in the Park Associate Artist KJ Sanchez. The play, meant to ignite dialogue and preserve unique local history, will be read at 7 p.m. A special performance from King Records' legendary drummer Philip Paul kicks off the evening with a performance and behind-the-scenes stories. 5 p.m. Sunday. Free. 1230 Elm St., Over-the-Rhine, cincyplay.com.
Head to the Cincinnati Art Museum for a screening of AMERICA'S POP COLLECTOR
The Cincinnati Art Museum's ongoing "Moving Pictures" series of film screenings presents the highly regarded and prescient America's Pop Collector: Robert C. Scull - Contemporary Art at Auction. The verity-style documentary by John Scott and E. J. Vaughn chronicles the 1973 auction of work collected by Scull, a taxi-company tycoon, which netted more than $2.2 million and forever established the marketplace value of contemporary art. Today, when pieces by contemporary masters routinely bring in millions, the amount raised at the Scull auction may seem small, but it was a watershed moment at the time. 2 p.m. Sunday. Free. Cincinnati Art Museum Fath Auditorium, 953 Eden Park Drive, Mount Adams, cincinnatiartmuseum.org.
Stock up on summer reading material at the FRIENDS OF THE PUBLIC LIBRARY USED BOOK SALE
The Friends of the Public Library Main Library Book Sale returns Saturday for its 43rd annual event (through June 5), offering more than 50,000 used books from every category imaginable, with most prices between $1 and $4. Feel free to casually browse or go on a book-buying spree — there will most likely be something for everybody, whether you're looking for Alice or Zhivago. On Friday, June 5, indulge your bibliomania by filling up an entire Friends' bag for only $10 (that's not a typo). It's time to hit the books. Begins 9 a.m.-6 p.m. Saturday. Free. Main Library, 800 Vine St., Downtown, friends.cincinnatilibrary.org.

Awesome suit! Is that a brown tie?
That's nice! May I ask what jacket size do you use, to get and idea... and your thight measurement? (No homo or something like that, just to get a sence of the toruser specs)
Some cool looks have been posted since I last browsed:
There was nice stuff from some others too, but these really stood out over the past few days for me. Good job, guys.
After a very casual last week, back in more thread-relevant outfits:
Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)
Holdfast...I really dig your style...you always seem to bring it up a notch....this outfit is awesome. I am having a little less love for the shoes, though. You really seem to dig the chocolate horsebit loafers (hey--who doesn't). I'd rather see a nice black wingtip with some buh-BAM socks that might steal a little orange from the PS. I think that would bring a level of period/style continuity to the outfit.
hint: quarters may be as open as you wish, but they should start opening below the bottom button. And when the jacket hem does not lie parallel to the ground I'm still not sure if there's a fitting issue or it's just the cut.
It's more like peach

Got a minute?
Got a minute?
It used to be common to hear people say, "There just aren't enough hours in the day." Now, there's no point in wishing for an extra 60 minutes here or there; we know that our work would just expand, like a gas, to fit the shape of the container. The real secret to productivity isn't more time. It's using the time we have more efficiently.
(Photo Credit: aussiegall/Flickr)
1. Work when you work best.
You probably already know if you're a morning person or a night person. But do you know what time is best for each type of work you face in a given day?
"Do your hardest work when you're most alert," advises Satinder Haer at Popforms. "This means: do your analytic work during the morning if you're an early riser, and in the evening if you're a night owl. Pretty intuitive, but may of us fight our natural rhythms in order to be on a schedule we think is 'right.' However, if you do your hardest strategic work when your mind is most alert, you'll do it faster and more effectively. This means you'll have more time in your day (since you won't be dragging through the big stuff) and you'll do your best work on the stuff that really matters."
Creative work, Haer says, is best done when we're tired, and less bound by rules and perceived limitations.
2. Make appointments to check your email.
Email is a time suck. It forces you to be reactive instead of proactive, structuring your day according to the needs of others, and it can become a method of procrastination, because you're less likely to feel guilty if you're doing something work-related than if you're noodling on the internet or playing Angry Birds. Circumvent both problems by only checking email a few times a day, and at set times.
3. A day without meetings.
If you're the boss, or have any influence on the decision-makers, propose one day a week without meetings. Dustin Moskovitz, the co-founder and CEO of Asana and co-founder of Facebook, blocks off every Wednesday as a no-meeting zone. The result? At least one day a week without the special hell that is attending a meeting when project deadlines are looming.

Man suspected of forcing way into home in custody
LAKE FOREST – A man wanted on suspicion of forcing his way into a home – and possibly trying to lure residents outside with a flickering flash light – is in custody.
The 57-year-old man was arrested by deputies Friday morning, after he was found hiding in heavy brush near Santa Margarita Parkway and El Toro Road, said Jim Amormino, spokesman for the Orange County Sheriff's Department.
Authorities issued a $50,000 warrant for Jerrel Joseph Gower's arrest Thursday morning.
Sheriff's officials suspect Gower might have used a flashlight, positioned on a strobe setting and set on a backyard fence, to get residents of a Lake Forest home to open their door.
Early Thursday morning, officials said a 59-year-old woman noticed the flashing light in her back yard and walked downstairs to investigate.
She then noticed an outdoor motion light was turned on at the front of her house.
She decided to open the front door when she heard a loud bang, and was knocked down by a man who forced his way inside, Amormino said.
Her 60-year-old husband, 26-year-old son and 32-year-old daughter, who were in the home as well, tried to restrain the man, but he was able to get away, he said.
Officials released a photo of Gower on Thursday afternoon.
Authorities initially said they were not sure what Gower's intent was.
Amormino said Gower would be booked in county jail on suspicion of burglary, felonious assault and assault with a deadly weapon.
Investigators received several tips regarding Gower and Lake Forest deputies also recognized him as frequenting the area near Saddleback Church, Amormino said.
On Thursday afternoon, deputies staked out the area near the church and found Gower walking in a brushy area near the church under Portola Parkway.
