Hot Enough for You?
Global warmists used to love talking about the weather.
It's been a slow week for news because it's been a big week for weather. The East Coast is covered in snow, and Time magazine blames global warming. No, seriously: "There is some evidence that climate change could in fact make such massive snowstorms more common, even as the world continues to warm." The New York Times says the same thing, though two-sidedly: "The two sides in the climate-change debate are seizing on the mounting drifts to bolster their arguments."
The Time story notes that climate is not the same thing as weather:
Ultimately, however, it's a mistake to use any one storm--or even a season's worth of storms--to disprove climate change (or to prove it; some environmentalists have wrongly tied the lack of snow in Vancouver, the site of the Winter Olympic Games, which begin this week, to global warming). Weather is what will happen next weekend; climate is what will happen over the next decades and centuries. And while our ability to predict the former has become reasonably reliable, scientists are still a long way from being able to make accurate projections about the future of the global climate.
Wait a minute, "scientists are still a long way from being able to make accurate projections about the future of the global climate"? We thought global warming was settled science, and anyone who doubted it was a knuckle-dragging lackey or handmaid of Big Oil! (Sorry for the mixed metaphors, but at least we're gender inclusive.)
To be sure, the global warmists are right to distinguish between weather and climate. A short-term condition sometimes can run counter to a long-term trend, as when a growing economy goes through a recession, or a generally healthy man suffers an acute illness (though in the long run, we're all dead).
The problem is that for years, global warmists have claimed that the weather proved their claims about the climate. This is a New York Times story from June 24, 1988:
The earth has been warmer in the first five months of this year than in any comparable period since measurements began 130 years ago, and the higher temperatures can now be attributed to a long-expected global warming trend linked to pollution, a space agency scientist reported today.
Until now, scientists have been cautious about attributing rising global temperatures of recent years to the predicted global warming caused by pollutants in the atmosphere, known as the "greenhouse effect." But today Dr. James E. Hansen of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration told a Congressional committee that it was 99 percent certain that the warming trend was not a natural variation but was caused by a buildup of carbon dioxide and other artificial gases in the atmosphere.
Dr. Hansen, a leading expert on climate change, said in an interview that there was no "magic number" that showed when the greenhouse effect was actually starting to cause changes in climate and weather. But he added, "It is time to stop waffling so much and say that the evidence is pretty strong that the greenhouse effect is here."
Breitbart.tv has a collection of clips from the past decade depicting Democratic congressmen blaming global warming for shortfalls of snow. But perhaps the classic of the genre is a piece from the Boston Globe, dated Aug. 30, 2005, which begins: "The hurricane that struck Louisiana yesterday was nicknamed Katrina by the National Weather Service. Its real name is global warming."
The author, Ross Gelbspan, goes on to blame global warming for "a two-foot snowfall in Los Angeles"--something that never happened--along with high winds in Northern Europe, droughts in the American Midwest and Southeastern Europe, rain in India and even a heat wave in Arizona.
It gets better. Gelbspan faults the media for failing to take global warming seriously:
When the US press has bothered to cover the subject of global warming, it has focused almost exclusively on its political and diplomatic aspects and not on what the warming is doing to our agriculture, water supplies, plant and animal life, public health, and weather.
For years, the fossil fuel industry has lobbied the media to accord the same weight to a handful of global warming skeptics that it accords the findings of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change--more than 2,000 scientists from 100 countries reporting to the United Nations.
It is now clear that even if Gelbspan had been describing the media's approach to the subject accurately, they still would have been assigning too much authority to the IPCC. Yesterday London's Guardian, a left-wing paper that has long been squarely in the global-warmist camp, carried a damning report titled "How to Reform the IPCC":
The IPCC says its reports are policy relevant, but not policy prescriptive. Perhaps unknown to many people, the process is started and finished not by scientists but by political officials, who steer the way the information is presented in so-called summary for policymakers [SPM] chapters. Is that right, the Guardian asked?
"The Nobel prize was for peace not science . . . government employees will use it to negotiate changes and a redistribution of resources. It is not a scientific analysis of climate change," said Anton Imeson, a former IPCC lead author from the Netherlands. "For the media, the IPCC assessments have become an icon for something they are not. To make sure that it does not happen again, the IPCC should change its name and become part of something else. The IPCC should have never allowed itself to be branded as a scientific organisation. It provides a review of published scientific papers but none of this is much controlled by independent scientists."
And of course the University of East Anglia emails showed that the so-called independent scientists manipulated data and tried to blacklist colleagues who did not accept the global-warmist hypotheses.
It's true that cold weather, while providing an occasion to mock global warming, does not disprove it. But the mocking would be far less effective had global warmists not spent the past quarter-century making a mockery of the scientific method.

The Nutty Professor
InsideHigherEd.com reports that Sarah Palin is being accused of racism for the following remark about President Obama: "They know we're at war, and to win that war we need a commander in chief, not a professor of law standing at the lectern." According to one prof--uh, sorry, make that "employee of a large tax-exempt corporation based in Cambridge, Mass."--it is invidious to call a black man "professor":
Taken to its logical conclusion, the message just doesn't make sense, says Charles J. Ogletree, a Harvard professor who has known Obama since he was a law student there. . . .
Ogletree, founding and executive director of the Charles Hamilton Houston Institute for Race and Justice, says he sees the "professor" label as a thinly veiled attack on Obama's race. Calling Obama "the professor" walks dangerously close to labeling him "uppity," a term with racial overtones that has surfaced in the political arena before, Ogletree said. . . .
"The idea is that he's not one of us," Ogletree says of the professor label. "He has these ideas that are left wing, that are socialist, that he's palling around with terrorists--those were buzzwords, but the reality was they were looking at this president as an African American who was out of place."
A radio talk-show host in New York once got in trouble for referring to David Dinkins, the city's first black mayor, as a "washroom attendant." We understood why that was offensive. We can also see why one might take offense at CNN's Web site, which has published a call for Obama to "go gangsta."
But can it really be invidious to refer to a black man by either a low-status occupation or a high-status one like "professor"? And by Ogletree's logic, wouldn't it be even worse to refer to Obama as president?
Great Moments in Socialized Medicine
Keo Capestany, 73, got stung twice, first by a bee and then by a hospital. Danny Westneat, a columnist for the Seattle Times, reports that Capestany ate a piece of steak at a picnic, not noticing that "a yellow jacket was clinging to the bottom side. It stung or bit him right on the tongue."
Capestany's tongue got swollen, and he worried that it might obstruct his breathing. So he went to the Harborview Medical Center. After almost a day on a Benadryl drip, doctors gave him a clean bill of health and sent him home from the hospital:
Two weeks later, though, he got stung again: The bill was $8,200. The IV costs alone were $2,469. The emergency room fee: $2,822. The pharmacy tab ran to $964. . . .
Capestany found out that though he spent about 22 hours there in a room, his treatment is considered "outpatient."
His insurance (Medicare Part A and his wife's policy) only give [sic] broad coverage for inpatient hospitalizations, not outpatient visits. . . .
Harborview couldn't discuss Capestany's bill with me, but said it's Medicare that sets the rules on whether someone is an inpatient or out.
In fact, Medicare puts out a six-page guide--with charts--on how to tell which is which. It's so complicated, they advise that if you're ever in a hospital for more than a few hours, you better ask about your status. I wonder: Would staff even know the answer?
It seems Capestany is stuck with the bill. And here is the lesson columnist Westneat draws from the story:
I sure don't know what would work. A single-payer system, competing insurance exchanges, health savings accounts--all seem better than what we have now.
Yet some say no, slow down. Leave health care until we repair the economy.
At $8,200 for a bee sting, health care could become all that's left of the economy.
If only the federal government ran health care, we wouldn't have to worry about Medicare rules. Brilliant!

We Blame George W. Bush
Remember when liberating Iraq was the worst foreign-policy mistake in American history? Now it turns out to have been anything but. The Los Angeles Times's Andrew Malcolm notes that Iraq is now so successful that the Obama administration, speaking via Vice President Biden, is taking credit for it. Here is what Biden said last night on CNN's "Larry King Live":
I am very optimistic about--about Iraq. I mean, this could be one of the great achievements of this administration. You're going to see 90,000 American troops come marching home by the end of the summer. You're going to see a stable government in Iraq that is actually moving toward a representative government.
I spent--I've been there 17 times now. I go about every two months--three months. I know every one of the major players in all the segments of that society. It's impressed me. I've been impressed how they have been deciding to use the political process rather than guns to settle their differences.
Malcolm notes that Biden and President Obama both opposed the 2007 surge, and that Biden once had some crazy plan for partitioning Iraq. But all's well that ends well. And as for former president George W. Bush, just remember Reagan's dictum: "There is no limit to what a man can do or where he can go if he doesn't mind who gets the credit."

Thanks to the Daily Beast's Tunku Varadarajan for naming us No. 9 in his list of "the right's top 25 journalists":

One quibble: It's a column, not a blog. Further thanks to Tunku for not making us No. 2 (that slot goes to Glenn Beck), thereby sparing us the pressure to try harder.

Darwin Fish and Microchips
Yesterday's Washington Post reported that Virginia's House of Delegates, the lower chamber in the General Assembly, planned to vote "on a bill that would protect Virginians from attempts by employers or insurance companies to implant microchips in their bodies against their will." CBS News reports that the House approved the legislation.
The measure "might also save humanity from the antichrist, some supporters think," the Post reports:
Del. Mark L. Cole (R-Fredericksburg), the bill's sponsor, said that privacy issues are the chief concern behind his attempt to criminalize the involuntary implantation of microchips. But he also said he shared concerns that the devices could someday be used as the "mark of the beast" described in the Book of Revelation.
"My understanding -- I'm not a theologian--but there's a prophecy in the Bible that says you'll have to receive a mark, or you can neither buy nor sell things in end times," Cole said. "Some people think these computer chips might be that mark."
Crazy? Sure! But these things are relative. There are two premises here:
1. It's creepy to implant microchips into people against their will.
2. Doing so might turn someone into the antichrist.
Now consider what our leaders in Washington believe:
1. Carbon dioxide is a pollutant.
2. Even if CO2 is harmless, we should cease producing it so that we can enjoy an infinity of an infinitely happy life.
At least the Virginians have one good point.

A customer favorite! Definitely in the top three (if not our best) sellers. This blend combines the rich, earthiness of Oaxacan Coffee with sweetness from raw sugar, savory flavors from garlic and onion- all rounded out with a little spice!
We love Coffee BBQ Rub on fattier and more flavorful cuts of meat like ribeyes, New York Strip or Flank Steak. Rub this blend on meat and allow to sit for 15-20 minutes--the coffee acts as a tenderizer--then you're ready for the grill.
And it's not just for steak. Try Coffee BBQ Rub on chicken and pork tenderloin.
Ingredients: Sugar, Sea Salt, Oaxacan Coffee Granules, Garlic, Onion, Chiles, Pepper, Paprika, Mustard, Tomato Powder, Spices.

Got a pinch flat on the way home today (my fault, pressure was too low) and after patching, I hosed up the valve stem with a little too vigorous pumping with the frame pump - at any rate, I had to make the call of shame because I had no other tube on me.
After I got home and repaired the tire, inflated it to pressure and mounted the (rear) tire, I noticed that the surface is lumpy on the inflated tire.
Specialized Armadillos, ~ 1K miles. Front tire looks great. Didn't notice the lumps in the ride, although I probably will manufacture some "noticeable" ride effects now that I know about it.
I was hopeful for the price I paid, that I could get a couple thousand miles out of these tires - curious if anyone else has experienced this lumpy tire crown issue with these or other tires? I can post a photo if you'd like to see to diagnose - i figured it would be common enough, but if visual evidence is required, I can do it.
It sort of looks like the tire has a case of "cottage cheese" cellulite . .
thanks in advance for your time

Washington, D.C. (AP) - A review of thousands of government e-mails
from last summer shows that the Obama administration struggled
behind the scenes to determine just how much oil was leaking into
the Gulf of Mexico from a broken BP well.
The e-mails, obtained by The Associated Press through a Freedom
of Information request, also show how the government defended
estimates of the extent of the oil spill that for months were
The e-mails hint at uncertainties in what the government knew
during the summer, even as its scientists wrestled over how to
measure oil leaking from a runaway well a mile under the ocean.
The government said this week that its final estimate, of 172
million gallons of oil leaking into the Gulf between April 20 and
July 15, was accurate.

I do other things, but they very..sometimes medicine ball throws, sometimes static strength training, sometimes weight, which is usually lower reps but on occasion high reps. I do run, but the kind of running i do varies, and I sometimes skip running to give my joints a break and do things like stepper machines and elliptical (which i dont like nearly as much as running, workout wise). And sometimes really mixing it up is a damn good thing (going on a all day hike, swimming all day, doing a strong man type circut, things like that). Also I try to watch out for overtraining in case my training is over lapping...like when I am doing boxing training 3 days a week, and mma training (which is usually more grappling related) I tend to back off any weight lifting..just because that wrestling gives you allot of heavy resistance type training and i dont want to over train.
Add pull-ups to that and you have my core workout. It's important to keep boxing at the forefront of your boxing. You are training to feel better in a fight, with punches flying; If you aren't punching and/or getting punched at, nothing will be good enough. Beyond that, lungs and heart and legs are what you need to last in a fight. Everything else if useful window dressing.
Skipping road work for swimming and stuff is starting to become fashionable, and it can work. Juan Diaz, a recent fighter with an unbelievable gas tank(Possibly the best work horse fighter of the past 10 years), did swimming and some stairs and rope, and that was pretty much it, and he had the best gas tank in the sport.

Hey thanks guys. Without all the people on here there is no way we would have made the cut. It was a chore cooking, but I'm glad we did it. ended up having to cook at our friends place since our kitchen is too small. Had to lug everything over there, plus then we had no decorations or anything. Definitely hamstiringed our operation a bit, but honestly I doubyt we could have come up with anything better. When I think Hollywood I think big fake boobs, junkies, and botox. I dno't really associate any style of food with Hollywood, which was a big stumbling block. I forget that to the rest of the world its a movie wonderland. I wish the theme was Memphis or Eastern Carolina, damn it!
It was ridiculously hot and just crazy. I lost 6lbs over 3 days from all the heat in the ktichen. There was definitely some editing done, which changed things, but overall I'm happy that our bird turned out good. I don't care if I'm not the best a decorating. We cooked a pretty good meal on a smnoker I built. I don't think Hogan made his sous vide machine.
I think I might change the air inlets from 3/4 to 1" to help her get a little hotter, I probably could have pulled the diffuse plate too, but in the heat of the battle i didn't want to go opening up everything. If your lookin' you ain't cookin'.
And popcorn? Seriously?

(AP) Whitney Bays scored 20 points and Courtney Moses added 12 as Purdue routed Akron 84-55 in the first round of the NCAA tournament on Saturday.
Five Big Ten teams are seeded sixth or higher in their respective regionals in the NCAA women's tourney, it was announced Monday night. Iowa (No. 6), Michigan State (No. 5), Nebraska (No. 4), Penn State (No. 3) and Purdue (No. 4) all earned bids to the field, marking the 15th time in the last 21 years the conference has sent five or more teams to the tourney.
(AP) Ally Disterhoft scored 10 of her 12 points in the final 5:38 as 23rd-ranked and fifth-seeded Iowa clawed back from the brink with a 24-11 closing run to upend No. 17, fourth-seeded Purdue 87-80 in a Big Ten quarterfinal Friday. The Hawkeyes (25-7) face eighth-seeded Ohio State (17-17) in a semifinal Saturday after the Buckeyes shocked No. 11 and top-seeded Penn State, 99-82.

The 2014 Big Ten Women's Basketball Tournament is set to kick off on Thursday on BTN/BTN2Go. Penn State and Michigan State shared the Big Ten regular season crown, and therefore have grabbed the top two seeds in the tournament. Both those teams are loaded with superstar players, but who are some of the under-the-radar players who could play huge roles in leading their team to a Big Ten title?
The Big Ten Conference announced the All-Big Ten Women's Basketball Teams and individual award winners on Monday. Nebraska's Jordan Hooper and Connie Yori were named Big Ten Player of the Year and Big Ten Coach of the Year, respectively, by the coaches, while Penn State's Maggie Lucas and Coquese Washington earned the honors from the media.

"Bud" Bud by Maria_75
Bud Travel Guide: 8 reviews and 45 photos
A beautiful little fishing village with the roaring sea as its closest neighbor. A must-see if you are nearby! And you should be, because Bud lies close to cities like Ålesund, Molde, Kristiansund and Åndalsnes.
Amongst the many touristattractions near Bud are "Atlanterhavsveien" (the Atlantic road), "Trollstigen" (the Trolls pass) and many of the fjords, with Geirangerfjorden as the most famous.
Bud is an excellent place to stop if you are on a roadtrip in the west of Norway. Visit Kristiansund and Atlanterhavsveien one day. Sleep in Bud and explore the village, before you continue to Molde, Trollstigen and Geirangerfjorden like we did.

Winter Project sitting eight by danktatWatch
©2014-2016 danktat
8th sitting on this...22 hours all together (we put in 3 hours today). Mainly worked on Jupiter today and a bit of the background needed a second pass near it and Saturn. Moving right along. I know some of the shading in Jupiter will need to be smoothed out but it is a good start. Thanks for looking.
Oh my word this is amazing..in awe as always! ♡ CT in the house! Lol
WOW! That's impressive!! Where are u from? I might have to go get some ink done by u
Just outside of Philadelphia in PA. Do it! Even if it takes a road trip to get it done
Too bad tattoos can't be animated. It would be cool to see all the planets and stars moving.

Distal hereditary motor neuropathies (dHMN) form a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of disorders, characterized by muscle weakness and atrophy predominating at the distal part of the limbs, due to the progressive degeneration of motor neurons in the spinal cord. We report here a novel rare variant of dHMN with autosomal recessive inheritance in a large Jewish family originating from Morocco. The disease is characterized by a predominance of paralysis at the lower limbs and an early adulthood onset. We performed a genetic study in this family to identify and characterized the causing mutation.
Homozygosity mapping strategy and sequencing of the candidate genes were performed. Expression studies were made on patient fibroblasts. Functional experiments were performed on a cellular model of motor neuron disease.
We mapped the disease to the 2q34–q36.1 chromosomal region and identified a homozygous splice mutation in the gene HSJ1 (DNAJB2) decreasing the expression of the 2 main isoforms HSJ1a and HSJ1b. Overexpression of both HSJ1a and HSJ1b reduced inclusion formation induced by the mutated SOD1-A4V in a neuronal cellular model.
HSJ1 is a neuronal enriched member of the HSP40/DNAJ co-chaperone family. Previous studies have shown that HSP40 proteins play a crucial role in protein aggregation and neurodegeneration in several neuronal types, in animal models and human diseases. Interestingly, this mutation causing a loss-of-function of HSJ1 is linked to a pure lower motor neuron disease, strongly suggesting that HSJ1 also plays an important and specific role in motor neurons.

I just read on another forum that a young man, 21, was struck and killed about 7 am near the top of dump hill as he rode eastbound. I'm sad for his friends and family. I'm also angry this is happening with such frequency here in OC and So. Cal. in general.
"This morning a friend of mine was hit and killed while riding his Road Bike on Santiago Canyon Rd by a hit and run driver. Joey worked with me at Two Wheels One Planet in Costa Mesa for about a year and was currently working at Jax in Irvine. He was 21. Joey was a really good road cyclist and one of the safest riders I know of. The woman who hit him fled the scene but we were told she was later caught. I don't have a lot of information about it right now but Joey will be missed. Be careful out there!

If Neils Miller doesn't have a statue in Appleton, Wisconsin, he should. You'll be hard pressed to find someone who has had a larger impact on the welding industry than Mr. Miller. Back in 1929, he saw a need for a small, affordable arc welder that would operate on the type of electricity readily available in rural Wisconsin. Using American ingenuity, he cobbled together scrap metal, core and coil materials and hammered out that first welder in his basement. Six short years later, Miller Electric Mfg. Co. produced an industry-changing industrial welder and the rest is history.
Throughout the 40's, Miller's machines powered war efforts in the shipyards and defense plants. In the 50's, Miller played a key role in the construction of most major planes, jets, fighters and missiles. Companies like Boeing, Cessna, Lockheed, Douglas all used Miller machines in their factories. The 1970's brought the introduction of the Millermatic machines; the first power source with a built-in wire feeder.
Today, Miller Electric continues their dominance in the marketplace with machines like the Millermatic 211 and the Dynasty 200 DX, Auto-darkening welding helmets, and the Diversion 180 AC/DC TIG Welder. Miller's full line of welding machines and welding accessories give their loyal customers plenty of reasons to "Bleed Blue."

The phylogenetic significance of strepsirhinism in Paleogene primates

Two lines of evidence reviewed here argue against the recent proposal that strepsirhinism is an apomorphous feature in primates, shared only by adapiforms and lemuriforms. These are (1) the presence of strepsirhinism in several extant taxa of nonprimate mammals, including Tupaiidae, Tenrecidae, Erinaceus,and Didelphis,and (2) the inferred presence of strepsirhinism not only in adapiforms, but also in all plesiadapiforms and omomyids for which the relevant anatomical regions are known. Therefore, strepsirhinism cannot be invoked as an adaptive innovation underlying the initial strep-sirhine/haplorhine dichotomy. Likewise, the apparent retention of strepsirhinism in omomyids suggests either that the haplorhine oronasal configuration of extant tarsiids and anthropoids was acquired independently or that tarsiids and anthropoids form a clade to the exclusion of omomyids.

Princess Luna by Kurus22Watch
©2013-2016 Kurus22
So more human pony art, this time it's Luna, yay!! I finally made a drawing of her that I actually liked. So a few days ago, I was thinking of what else to draw and I wanted to draw someone with wavy hair, then suddenly Luna came to mind. I quickly made a cheap sketch while taking notes on my 5th period, and ended up liking it. I began to add detail to it, colored it, and then this came out...and I like it....but I'm not so sure if I like the colors I used.
Colored in GIMP

great work is cool
She looks beautiful!
this is great! could i use this kind of style for a little idea i have going?
How do you keep your lines so nice?
I love your style, amd this one is probably my favorite.
I love your style !!!
hey is it alright if I design my luna similar to this?????

ninten: MOM? what in your name happened to you...?
lol i love it....
Can I ask you a question?
Well, while I don't usually approve of humanized ponies, I must admit you do a fine job and I really like the style. Keep up the good work!
Love your style!
And this is what Luna should have looked like in Equestria Girls. Nice job there.
somehow this artstyle remind me with some oldie 80-90th anime which i don't remember (i'm so stupid )
annnnndddd..... i LOVE that plus looks like you will do more, so i'll drop my watch to you
she looks amazing!
best princess
Best pony in the show. It's as if she were saying, "Excuse me if I withhold my enthusiasm.
hells yes the FUN HAS BEEN DOUBLED!!!!
I love this drawing, Luna is best princess.
Luna never gets enough love, IMHO
I love, love how you've rendered her as a hu-man here.
I love, love how you've rendered her as a hu-man here.
She is actually arguably one the most popular characters on the show.
Possibly. So maybe I mean she doesn't get enough screen time?
well, thank you very much XD
She looks so emo, lol. Well non the less she still looks pretty cool. You're getting better at shading.

I rode around for an hour or so on the FG with my Garmin in my pocket.
I rode around for an hour or so on the FG with my Garmin in my pocket.
Cyclists of the world, unite! You have nothing to lube but your chains!
and i need to revive the training failure thread
ever since setting a 20-min PB, i've gained 2kg and probably lost 15W of FTP. It's all good though as it's my down-time period of the year and i can relax and regroup.
As of today the weekly AM hammerfest is a cross ride. It's the same group and intensity level, but on cross bikes, mostly on meadows and fire roads but also a healthy dose of singletrack, including some technical singletrack that's very challenging on a cross bike.
After three years of doing this ride, I have a good sense of both the perceived effort and NP required to hang on the road. (In general, NP is higher for these 2-2.5 hour rides than for races.) Now that I have a power meter on my cross bike I was curious to see how the numbers would compare.
The ride felt really difficult and it seemed like every time I looked at the power, it was high. We did a 10 minute climb at what seemed like VO2max levels. Even just cruising along seemed like a near threshold effort. Near the end of the ride I commented that it felt significantly harder that last week's road ride and that I thought the power would be noticeably higher. My buddy said, no way. It feels harder, especially the technical stuff, but NP will be lower.
Turns out he was right. NP and AP were both 15% lower than what I typically see on these rides. Perceived effort was through the roof, especially on the technical climbs. I think the explanation is that there are many more short periods of no pedaling.
tl;dr : hard cross rides feel hard but don't require as much power as hard road rides, all else being equal.
I discovered that in my three seasons of cross racing. I also found that, even though my RPE was way high, the races did not improve my fitness but tended to let it slide downward.
RL training is bad, but I did complete 3 Los Santos triathlons yesterday and won each one. Went from 60-100 fitness. Quite a block.
i'm seriously thinking of getting a 42" TV and a xbox 360 just for that game...

hah. same I took 2nd in the first, then 1st and 1st once I learned to tap faster.
3hrs of "sniffing the breeze" as shovel puts it.
Perfect temps (high 60's), patchy skies, no wind, empty roads, all alone. My god that was nice.

3hr team ride...
Was with the lead pack of 4 when I got caught behind the lead rider, who let off the gas way too much, and at that moment an attack occurred. I chased back on, but burnt many matches. Next punchy hill I was just coming off the front when the next attack happened and I popped. Rode tempo the rest of the way to the car...
Guys on the team are noticing the improvement
Now it's just a matter of building on this over the winter...

2.5 hours post-season JRA. Left the race wheels on. So nice.
Rode up to my folks house this afternoon. Lots of birds: redtail and Swainson's hawks, blue herons, egrets, redwing blackbirds.
Cyclists of the world, unite! You have nothing to lube but your chains!
shovel and caloso - those kinds of rides are the best.
Demain, on roule!
Friday was an hour of JRA, easy Z2, Sunday morning was an hour and a half of tempo, felt decent.
It's a bike race, not a tea party. - GirlAnachronism
Question for the masses.
My season is over. I might do one or two local cx races just for fun, but I'm sure as heck not going to train for them. I've got a good plan for next season, that starts after Thanskgiving with the usual base and sub threshold work. My question is about the time until that starts.
This is my absolute favorite season to ride and some of my buddies don't really have off seasons, or off switches. Is there any harm in a good hard 2-3 hour group ride (NP=tempo, more or less), twice a week, during the so-called off season?
why not. As long as you allow your body to recover and your endocrine system to equilibrate. But chances are, two hard group rides may turn out similar to two races, and that may or may not allow yourself to recover.
I actually believe that one should let CTL fall quite a bit in the off season as it will allow your body to freshen up enough for the next season. If i were you i'd do 1 hard group ride and some endurance ride in the middle of the week and let CTL fall in a semi-controlled manner. YMMV, obviously.
im thinking about cutting my riding time in half (down to 5-6hrs) until mid november or so -
that extra time will be spent doing (light) lifting, running, hiking, playing frisbee (love ultimate), swimming...
Oh, and sleeping in too
I rode so hard at track on Tuesday (had gf and female coworker/friend watching); i'm not interested in pedaling that hard till atleast march.

about at the end of my training block for the TT Sunday, gonna do it with my plain road bike, have really done well I think training for it, was @ 22MPH avg on a lap when I started, now at mid 23 with a stiff headwind, should do OK. Will be a fight for last place but looking forward to my first real race.
Also looking forward to a few months of base, gonna up volume and lower instensity.
Cranked out Pine Creek Saturday for fun, shaved 10 minutes off the segment time from July. Its funny every time I do Pine I forget how hard it is and how steep - even when it gets easier Im still like 'WTF this is harder than I remember' - gonna do the whole 30 min TT tomorrow for training then all easy stuff until Sunday. Have been doing 2 to 3 interval days per week so far. I can't take much of that stuff to be sure, body doesnt recover that quick.
Home from collegiate track nats.
That was a pretty unbelievable 'training block'
Kids with pro contracts, kids fresh back from jr worlds, kids on the national team... TSS was had.
If the rain holds off, I'll get the season-ender friday night track race in, hopefully get my cat2, and then be done.
I'm still trying to digest everything that happened over the last 3-4 days, but I'll write up a race report eventually.

"Port Vila - Vanuatu" Top 5 Page for this destination Vanuatu by lou31
Vanuatu Travel Guide: 682 reviews and 1,431 photos
I visited this lovely place while on a Pacific Sky cruise. Unfortuneately we only spent the day here but we were blessed with gorgious weather. I was very taken with the attitude of the local people. They seemed to be genuinely happy to see us and I felt quite safe while I was there. We only got to see Port Vila and the surrounding countryside - I wish I had had more time as there was so much more to see and do.
Vanuatu somehow seems like it is lost in time. Modern enough for todays tourists but still retaining a certain primitive and carefree feel to it. It is the kind of place you want to come back to. A perfect destination for a honeymoon or holiday in the sun. This page is still under construction so call back later for more pics and info.
- Pros:Unspoilt beauty.
- Cons:Watch out for the cyclone season.
- In a nutshell:Perfect place for sun, sand and relaxation.

Looks such a beautiful place to visit. I loved the beach scenes and your photo of the locals in particular - and really comprehensive shopping tips too. Another one for the wish list ;)
I visited Vanuatu about 25 years ago - doesn't sound like is has changed much!
Sounds like American / Western Samoa. They permit drinking while driving and have Kava and the women rule the roosts! That said, don't know if I have to go Vanuatu but I would if permitted a free ticket! GREAT TIPS!!!
have enjoyed the tour and info on Vanuatu thanks - have yet to travel around the Pacific - about time I did!
What a fabulous tip on Mystery Island. It just makes me want to go there right now:-)
Nice tips - it's on my list of places to visit! We have been on the Pacific Sky, but not when it visited here!
Vanuatu is really relaxing I spent a week at Hideaway Island a few years back.
Mystery Island looks like a lovely place to spend a day. The South Pacific just gives you that special feeling. Glad you got to go on that cruise.
Huh, I think that if I ever get married and take my future husband to Vanuatu he would not like to know about the husband murders!!!! :-) Interesting page, apart from snow, I like little tropical islands :-)
Hi Louise, sounds exciting to take a tour with a local. I thought Cava was a type of "champagne" which I have had no ill effects from drinking, I guess the Cava being sold was not quite the same thing. Regards Martin

I am a University student studying Motorcycle Engineering, racing motorbikes in 2013 and working in the British Superbike paddock as a Race Engineer.
About Once Per Month: Since 2013
Recent Class(es):

Since 2013 - About Once Per Month
In 2001 when I was 8 years old, I went to my local track, which was Brands Hatch, England. Here I watched World Superbikes and British Superbikes and have loved it ever since.
In 2010 I wanted to get some work experience so got in contact with BEMSEE (The British Motorcycle Racing Club) and was there for 2 years. I have now become a licensed Technical Official with the ACU.
In 2011, I wanted to work within a race team, touring the world going to different race circuits. So I decided to go to university to study Motorcycle Engineering to get a qualification in what i was interested in.
In 2012 I was working with a Ducati team, who were racing in the Ducati 848 Challenge in the British Superbikes. I travelled round the UK and also got the chance to go to TT Circuit Assen and also Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli for the World Ducati Week.
To get more experience, I also wanted to get onto the race track to see what it was like. I started off by building my first race bike which was a Suzuki SV 650. With this bike, I have done several track days and have naturally picked up the sport, going a lot quicker than I thought i would.
My times that I do round tracks are consistent within the Minitwin class at BEMSEE in the top 15. In 2013, I am hoping to participate in several rounds for the experience and because its what I've wanted to do since I was 15 years old.
Getting my race license and experiencing some of the UK's best tracks.
Participating in several races and finishing top 10 in at least one race.

Note From the Editor
Iuniki L. Ikahihifo-Bender
"A System Appallingly out of Balance": Morgan v. State and the Rights of Defendants and Victims in Sexual Assault Prosecutions
Daniel E. Doty
In a series of three cases that culminate with Morgan v. State, Alaska's courts established a unique protection for defendants in sexual assault cases. This protection, which allows such defendants to attack their victims in court with previous reports of sexual assault that did not result in prosecution, is not afforded to defendants in other cases and is based on a dubious "general principle" that the credibility of sexual assault victims has "special relevance." The protection is problematic in several ways: it is grounded in erroneous stereotypes about the victims of sex crimes; it is detrimental to victims and the pursuit of truth; it is inconsistent with traditional rules of evidence; and it is unnecessary to protect the rights of defendants. For these reasons, this protection for defendants in sexual assault cases should be abrogated by legislative action as proposed herein.
From Accession to Exemption: A Brief History of the Development of Alaska Property Exemption Laws
Eric H. Miller
This Article examines the historical development of Alaska's debtor protections from their beginnings in the period of initial federal administration to the present. The current Alaska statutes protecting certain property of debtors from their creditors descended from policies first enacted by Congress. Although federal authority began in 1867 with the area's acquisition from Russia, Congress did not provide for governmental administration in Alaska until 1884, which act also provided Alaska its first debtor protection statutes. Extension of the federal Homestead Act to Alaska in 1898 brought the first protections for settlers' homesteads from their creditors. By 1912 and the creation of the territorial government, Congress had set the basic structure of debtor protection in Alaska. Unlike those states which insisted historically on placing certain debtor protections within their constitutions, public policy in Alaska has deemed statutory structures adequate to protect a debtor's interests.
Ravin Revisited: Alaska's Historic Common Law Marijuana Rule at the Dawn of Legalization
Jason Brandeis
For the past forty years, Alaska has had one of the most unique marijuana laws in the United States. Under the Ravin Doctrine, adults in Alaska could use and possess a small amount of marijuana in their homes for any personal purpose. That common law rule, grounded in the Alaska Constitution's explicit right of privacy, was effectively codified in November 2014 when Alaska voters approved Ballot Measure 2: "An act to tax and regulate the production, sale, and use of marijuana." Measure 2 ushered in a new era of marijuana regulation, adding Alaska to the short list of states that permit the retail sale and use of recreational marijuana. This Article begins a discussion of this next phase of marijuana regulation in Alaska. The Article starts with a brief history of Alaska marijuana law prior to Measure 2, then summarizes the adoption and implementation of the ballot measure, including listing the marijuana-related activities now permitted, reviewing the ongoing process of developing a statewide regulatory framework, and describing the federal government's response to state-level marijuana legalization. The Article concludes with an analysis of the relationship between Measure 2 and the Ravin Doctrine, identifying new issues raised by the process of ballot initiative-led statutory legalization and finding that although Measure 2 did not clear up all of the previous grey areas surrounding marijuana regulation in Alaska, it was a significant step towards reconciling the Ravin Doctrine with Alaska's criminal marijuana laws.
Alaska: North to the Future of Federal Marijuana Regulation
Angela Macdonald
The personal freedom Alaskans not only expect, but rely upon, exposes a significant need for federal cooperation in the reformation of marijuana laws, including the removal or reclassification of marijuana in the Controlled Substances Act. This Comment summarizes this issue in light of Alaska's recent recreational marijuana legalization. In doing so, elements unique to Alaska and their likely influence on the state's upcoming marijuana legislation; the history and evolution of Alaska marijuana laws; and the scholarly literature on Alaska marijuana law regarding the tensions between federal and state marijuana regulation are discussed. This Comment proposes that marijuana be removed from the Controlled Substance Act and that the federal government take a page out of Alaska's book in setting up a new marijuana regulatory system by shifting oversight of marijuana regulation from the Drug Enforcement Administration to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives. Such a solution could provide for consistency among the continuing emergence of state recreational marijuana laws while still allowing each state to properly police itself on the basis of its unique needs.
Breaking Bad Law: Meth Lab Investigations Highlight Alaska's Current Approach to Privacy
Victoria Sheets
The right to privacy explicitly provided by the Alaska Constitution has long been broadly interpreted—even protecting Alaskan citizens' right to personal home use and possession of marijuana. Though this right to privacy has been interpreted many times over the last few decades, Alaska currently lacks a coherent approach to application of its privacy laws. As the prevalence of methamphetamine production increases in homes across Alaska, the Alaskan courts' approach to privacy must be reevaluated in light of its delicate interaction with search and seizure policies surrounding methamphetamine labs.
Alaska and Vergara v. California: Evaluating the Constitutionality of Teacher Tenure in Alaska
M. Rebecca Cooper
In the summer of 2013, California's teacher tenure statutes were found to violate the equal protection clause of the state's Constitution. The statutes called for tenure to be granted after two years of teaching, contained significant due process protections in case of dismissal, and required that new hires be laid off before teachers with tenure. The group that brought the lawsuit, Students Matter, is considering filing lawsuits in other states. This Note examines Alaska's tenure statutes to assess the state's vulnerability to a copycat lawsuit. While most of Alaska's tenure statutes seem safe from challenge, the state should evaluate its tenure system to determine if it is leading to the best outcome for students.

Originally called Heanton Court, The Braunton Inn was an ancient manor house for distinguished families descended from King Edward IV. During the 19th Century, the great house began to be let out to farmers, its castellated towers making it one of the grandest farmhouses in North Devon. In the 1930's, pleasure flights to Lundy Island would land in the grounds.
With its imposing high stone walls and crenulations, there are few pubs grander than The Braunton Inn. We have fantastic views and walkers will be drawn to the Tarka Trail by the River Taw.
