The Egypt Network for Integrated Development (ENID)
What is the project about?
The Egypt Network for Integrated Development (ENID) launched in 2012 is a project with the Ministry of International Cooperation to respond to the increasing needs of the poor and vulnerable in Egypt by introducing an area-based integrated approach to local economic and social development. The project currently focuses on Qena, where the poverty rate is 58%, one of the highest in the country, where 34.5% of the population are illiterate and 13.5% are without jobs. ENID carried out needs assessments of over 30 villages and used the poverty map developed by the Social Fund for Development to identify the communities with the greatest needs and opportunities.
Global experiences have shown that applying an integrated approach combining economic, social and environmental interventions in a specific location can maximise development impact. ENID has adopted this multi-dimensional approach to villages in Qena linking jobs, skills training, food security and services. While introducing global best practices such as the One-Village-One-Product model from Japan and handicraft development experience from India, the project also identifies local solutions for local problems, cooperating with local universities, research institutes and government offices.
What have we accomplished so far?
- The ENID project works currently in 35 villages in Qena in the areas of basic services, manufacturing and agriculture and has plans to expand interventions to more villages throughout Upper Egypt.
- A total of 2,135 young women and men have benefited through ENID's training and 573 people have been employed through ENID's activities.
- ENID has made 33 protocols with local NGOs and Community Development Organisations by 2014 in the areas of services, manufacturing and agriculture. It also partners extensively with the national and local governments in these sectors to ensure sustainability and scalability of their interventions.
- In basic services, ENID is providing innovative joint literacy and sewing classes, has opened kindergartens, provided health services and upgraded the operations and curriculum of youth centres in Qena.
- In manufacturing, ENID has implemented the One-Village-One-Product model in 18 villages in Qena to promote handicraft and cottage industry development, upgraded the technical, vocational education and training (TVET) programmes and supported the industrial cluster development in Upper Egypt.
- In agriculture, ENID has introduced sustainable agricultural practices in Upper Egypt including crop residue recycling, community milk processing and backyard poultry rising. It has also facilitated the changes in farming practices by organising farmers field schools (FFS) where farmers actively participate in the capacity building process and identify local solutions for local challenges.
- ENID links its field projects with the policies and programmes at the national level through its policy and advocacy programmes. To date, ENID has produced 25 policy briefs and 15 case studies in its various sectors. All of ENID's knowledge products can be found on its website.
- ENID organised its Second Annual Conference in February 2015 under the title of 'A Story of Development from Upper Egypt' in Qena, bringing together over 300 participants, including several ministers, the Governor of Qena, senior local administrative staff, local NGOs, representatives from the villages of Qena, as well as a number of international donors. Following the first meeting in December 2013, the conference provided an opportunity to showcase ENID's accomplishments and discuss future partnerships to sustain and scale up ENID's activities going forward.

Honda plans to release the next-gen Civic Type R some time in 2015, but until then the automaker continues to test it. The latest battery of evaluations is cold weather testing in Sweden. That meant the future hot hatch got to put on some camo and went to play in the snow. Our spies caught it at work, though.

text: I just passed my HSC Examination in Arts stream from Maharashtra Board with 61%. Before my HSC examination, I had been taking tuitions of children till 8th standard in my home. I have been doing this for past three years and I have a good experience of teaching children. I think that I will make a good teacher and children will learn many good things from me. So coming to the point, my basic interest is in becoming a teacher in a school. I enquired about teachers job along with my older friends in locality who also are teachers. They said that becoming a teacher in a government school is very beneficial. I didnt ask about it in much detail, but can anyone tell me how to get job as teacher in government school. It would be really helpful for me?

First off, I'm not sure this is the right sub-forum for this post. Feel free to suggest other spots for it!
So there was this guy selling a bunch of old bikes out in front of his house. I bought a bike for $80. Fat aluminum tubes, no identifying marks anywhere on the frame, nexus 7 hub, 700cc wheels, tektro brakes. I think I pinned the frame down to a Breezer Villager. But it's got this weird build with a bunch of BMX parts:
Dotek crank, Schwinn BMX grips, Salsa moto ace stem, Kalloy seat post, Schwinn saddle.
Anybody got any thoughts on this? I'm thinking I'll either build it up with racks for around town grocery hauling, or set it up to haul the Chariot for even more hauling, or see if it's hot pinkness and low gearing will tempt my 16 year old daughter into doing more riding...

How did I think of using keratin as a name? Uh... I have no idea. It doesn't have anything to do with the story. No, wait, it does. Keratin is weak in its individual fibres, but clusters together to form strong, tough strands. That's... uh... symbolic. Yeah. Totally.

Thanks. I appreciate the support. I'm ridiculously busy at the moment, but I'm trying to get back to Keratin as quickly as possible.

Epicness is a corollary of biscuits. There will be biscuits in this game. Ergo: this game will be epic.
Wait. My logic's a little off there, I think. Whatever; thanks for your support, anyway.

I'm trying not to remove too much insanity, but a slight loss is inevitable, because of all the planning that has to go into creating such a complicated story. Still, I'll do my best.

2. How's he gonna live up the Snakewood?
For my sake, make this Killer Zen mode, and make it crazy.
The Meat Men can't be joined, I'm afraid, but you can certainly help them; they offer a range of subquests throughout the game.
If by Killer Zen mode you mean Spearow Hate You mode, then it is fairly crazy. It makes things harder, adds a whole lot of subquests that do bad things to you, and essentially puts in another story ending.

Some fakemon are from Snakewood, some are completely new. Some are also from my mini-hack, Pokémon Cangrejo - notably the Pokémon Professor Ork gives to you, if you choose to join him (it's a Glistenon). Hombone makes a return, only subtly different, as do Kenchira and Kenchukuo, though they're even rarer than before; there are a few others, but most of the fakemon here are new, like Linzay and Vyral. And many more besides.

The Deadly Seven may have a cameo, but the role of recurring insane people will instead be fulfilled by the Fabulous Snowmen, who are neither fabulous nor snowmen. I think.

Hombone Hombone Hombone Hombone Homboooone!
some Hombone in this game, but they don't evolve as you might expect; I've included Hombone in every hack I've ever made, and they acquire new evolutions and new ways to evolve every time. This is no exception; if I've planned this right, there are about ten different final evolutions for Hombone.
Originally Posted by

Nooooooooooo, not Hombone!
There are only a very few reused ones. 95% of the fakemon are completely new, although a lot of the Pokémon aren't fake. However, several old Pokémon have been adjusted slightly, to fit the new type system and so forth.

I wouldn't give Snakewood a shot until I get the fixed version up - hopefully that'll be by next weekend.

Great valueWith the cashback, the effective price of the Olympus VG110 is unbeatable. Just recieved the camera and im very happy with it. Super compact, very light, good quality pics, comes with a matchbox size LI-ion battery charger. Also came with 'Killer' freebies. The freebies are not of good quality but hey, its free!

Could not have got anything better than this at this priceVery nice camera. very light and small. Best part is the battery which is just like one of a mobile phone. No need to carry those heavy rechargable batteries with their chargers. Still don't believe that I could buy it for just Rs.4025/- only.

I was greeted at the door by Jane, the trainer and she led me downstairs to the basement studio through what looked like an office building. Once inside the studio itself, the facilities were really good and Jane herself was lovely.
I'm never completely sure that you get as good a workout from a 20 minute power plate session as you do from a hour / hour and a half fitness class and it does seem quite expensive for a drop-in session (£20), however, I felt really good afterwards and would definitely go again.

Never A Scintilla of Accountability in Fortress Wilmington Under Siege!SUNDAY SIZE UPGood Morning, Bonjour, Guten Tag,Readers,As a investor and long-time DD shareholder, we believe the spineless Directors on the cozy DuPont Board CEO Ellen J. Kulllman dominates as "Chair" have let us down. They should by law be looking after our interests as shareholders. Instead the Board's overriding mission is protecting Ms. Kullman and lavishing her with $15 million in pay and perks per year.The imperious Ellen Kullman should be fired with dispatch. It has been she who has presided over a colossal counterfeit innovation fiasco. Imprelis, Tell Us. Not once has she said a public word of accountability, taken any responsibility, much less apologised to thousands of DuPont AG customers and Imprelis-victimised homeowners for the the hundreds of thousands of mature landscaping trees she and her mendacious minions have killed nationwide.This mounting FRAUD so cogently claimed in the federal and state courts of the land may likely result in total losses and damages of well in excess of $1 billion. DD shareholders will be cratered with the ensuing charges, fines, judgements, settlements.Ms. Kullman should be given the axe, along with those grossly overpaid and evasive DuPont Presidents and Vice Presidents and understaffers directly involved.DD SHAREHOLDERS NEED TO ELECT A BOARD SANS THE INSOUCIANT AND SERVILE DIRECTORS NOW RUBBERSTAMPING MS. KULLMAN'S EVERY WISH!Merely the Sunday Size-Up digitally penned by one long-time student of the decaying and undeniably dishonest DuPont...funfun..
Readers, Investors,Not only has Ms. Kullman presided over the development and commercialisation of this $billion bogus "innovation", Imprelis, she has presided over the astounding maltreatment of thousands of DuPont AG customers and Imprelis victims! She and her mendacious minions are effectively giving the middle finger to Imprelis victims and DuPont AG customers with their stalling and sandbagging tactics. BENLATE redux big-time.The DETROIT FREE PRESS reported on May 21 and May 25, 2012 that victims who filed Imprelis claims with DuPont nine months ago, repeat nine months ago, have yet to hear from DuPont Management, no Resolution Agreements in hand! That's disgusting, and a gigantic public relations disaster is in the making.What kind of bumbling, fumbling con artists in Fortress Wilmington continue to lay waste to the Company's already well shredded reputation and wage war against their own customers? What a sleazy bunch running this Company whose best days are long behind it, left in the last century.There is an overwhelmingly conspicuous lack of real leadership in the DuPont Company. Ms. Kullman should be FIRED! Period....funfun..

The East Asian Area Studies (EAAS) major offers an interdisciplinary approach to learning about East Asia, combining language study with history, social sciences and the humanities. EAAS is a complementary double major; students have successfully combined their study of East Asia with majors in biology, business, communication, film, international relations, and more.
The EAAS major also provides a strong foundation for students pursuing additional training in graduate or professional programs as well as those seeking careers in public service, journalism, international business and law, government, and the private sector.
EAAS majors are encouraged to learn about East Asia in East Asia. In addition to Overseas Studies semester and year-long study abroad opportunities, EASC offers funding for students--EAAS majors and non-majors alike--to participate in the summer Global East Asia programs in China, Japan or Korea.
Lower Division
Upper Division
Total: 36 units + language
EAAS Recommended 4-year Course Plan
A minor in East Asian Area Studies is a great complementary focus for students in professional schools or liberal arts. Students who have minored in EAAS have majored in a range of disciplines, including economics, religion, business, neuroscience, and public policy.
Lower Division
Upper Division
Total: 24 units
Note: USC policy states that you must complete 16 units unique to the minor, meaning 16 units that are not counted for GE, major, or other minor requirements.
The Korean Studies minor is intended for students who are interested in the political, economic, social and cultural changes of the area, and draws upon courses from departments across the social sciences, humanities, and professional schools.
Lower Division
One course from the following (4 units):
Upper Division
Four courses from the following (16 units):
If a Korea-focused course is not listed above but is on the EASC course list, it will still count towards the minor. Please consult with the KRNS advisor.
Total: 20 units
Note: USC policy states that you must complete 16 units unique to the minor, meaning 16 units that are not counted for GE, major, or other minor requirements.
• Knowledge of and ability to apply methods of ciritical and oscial analysis from anthropology, sociology, internatinoal relations, political science, economics, literature, arts, and/or history to the study of East Asia.
• Ability to apply interdisciplinary methods to the analysis of East Asian cultures, polities, and societies.
• Ability to analyze both primary and secondary source readings by identifying the main argument or thought, placing it in context, and interpreting it critically based on the logic and evidence presented.
• Ability to analyze the interplay between human action and institutions and organizations in East Asia, either historically or in the contemporary world.
• Knowldege of the key facets of East Asia's placei n our globalized worl and the ability to analyze the influence of globalization in East Asia.
• Ability to identify strategies and choices East Asia countries have made in pursuing economic, political, and social development.
•Fouth semester or better competence in Chinese, Japanese, or Korean language.
Students interested in the East Asian Area Studies major/minor or the Korean Studies minor should contact Jier Dong, the undergraduate advisor, to set up a meeting appointment. He can be reached by email (email@example.com) or telephone (213.740.2992). No walk-ins please.
Many students wonder about the difference between East Asian Area Studies and East Asan Langauges and Cultures. EAAS requires fewer language courses for the major and no language requirement for the minor. EAAS also has more diverse upper division course offerings from a wide variety of departments and schools. For students mostly interested in language, literature and culture, the EALC major may be a good fit. Those interested in the historical or contemporary political, economic, social and cultural changes in East Asia, however, should strongly consider EAAS.

Conditions on the logarithmic derivative of a function implying boundedness
Abstract | References | Similar Articles | Additional Information
Abstract: In this paper we investigate functions analytic and nonvanishing in the unit disk, with the property that the logarithmic derivative is contained in some domain . We obtain conditions on which imply that the functions are bounded and that their first derivatives belong to for some . For certain domains the sufficient conditions that we give are also, in some sense, necessary. Examples of domains to which the results apply are given.

Don't mind me being nosy but now that my awful nausea has subsided I have packed on 15lbs already and I am only 19 weeks. I this normal? Too much? I'm just wondering where other people are since I'm worried I'm on track to gain way to much!
How much weight have you gained?
I was a little concerned with the weight gain as well, so I asked my doc. He said I was perfectly fine, I shouldn't be worried, and I should still expect to gain about a pound a week from here on out.
It's a bit scary, but healthy baby is all that matters. I'd say check in with you doc; s/he will be able to tell you what weight gain schedule is best for you & baby.
I am 18 weeks and up 13 lbs. I am not super happy about it.
I'm on the higher end too - 20 weeks and 19 lbs. Like TattooKitty, I didn't have any nausea in the first trimester, and was a healthy BMI to start; I gained a lot (14 lbs) in the first twelve weeks. Thankfully the pace has slowed down a bit!
The weird part is that I don't even look super pregnant; the belly is still pretty small, esp with clothes on. I just gained a little bit everywhere - my face, arms, and thighs are all a bit rounder. The doctor said I'm fine; just to try and eat healthy stuff more often than not. I'm not pleased about it really - I mean, who doesn't want to be that woman who only gains 25 lbs total and is back in her jeans a month after the birth? - but I'm not too panicked about it either. I didn't diet before I was pregnant, and I'm certainly not going to start now
I'm still down 1lb from pre-pregnancy weight and I'm 20w with twins.

Baby #1 MC @ 7 wks

BAKERSFIELD, CA - All fireworks can cause a fire, especially during our drought. That is why many are asking if an outright ban could be coming to Kern County. Supporters of a ban say fireworks are dangerous.
But, a ban would be devastating according to the boosters, churches, and non-profits running the annual stands. That includes one on Airport Drive benefiting New Covenant Church and the community it serves.
"Oh, it would be devastating," said Lanie Hawkins, Associate Pastor, of the ban.
All of the money customers spend at their fireworks booth helps send kids to camp and community outreach.
"And, they love investing, too because they know their money is going toward youth. It's going toward a cause," said Hawkins.
But, it's the potential effect of fireworks that has some supporting an outright ban. Flying sparks in our bone dry conditions could create the perfect storm.
Margaret Constantino said she wouldn't miss the fireworks at all.
"Not me personally, but I know that the kids love them," said Constantino.
"I wish they'd knock all of the fireworks out," said Pete Castro.
"It's like we are at war," added Tammy Kuster about the firework noise. "We live at northeast Bakersfield, and oh my gosh, the walls are shaking."
While all fireworks are banned in Kern's mountain communities, the Kern County Fire Department has no plans to expand the limitations.
"We support the safe and sane fireworks that were approved by the California State Fire Marshal's Office. We don't believe that if you say, you ban fireworks, people are still going to bring in illegal fireworks and that is our issue," said Brandon Hill, Kern County Fire Department Public Information Officer.
"People always have the right to petition their government," said Kern County Supervisor Leticia Perez about the fireworks issue.
Supervisor Perez says no one this year has asked the board to consider a ban.
"In the past, a ban with fireworks has been met with quite a bit of opposition and I imagine that any ban today would be met fiercely," said Supervisor Perez.
Those needing the money have been fighting to keep the annual community cash flow coming in, hoping the only thing it sparks is a little controversy.
"Its one time of making some great money to be able to spread it out through the years to affect your community, and that's what we do here," said Hawkins.
If the county would ever ban all fireworks, it would not affect Bakersfield unless the city council would choose to follow suit.

The Office News blog reports that the new Office is officially the best-selling edition yet, selling at an average rate of one per second.
Office 365 Home Premium has also hit a milestone, passing 1 million subscribers in just over 100 days. That's a quicker climb to the million mark than some of the most popular services out there, as you can see in this infographic:
But the numbers only tell part of the story, writes Office marketing exec John Case in the Office News blog post.
"What's truly exciting is how people are using the service and their newfound flexibility to do great things," he continues, pointing as an example to this blog post by Suzanne Emberton, a Tennessee mother of six who calls Office 365 "an amazing tool for our family."

Above: one of the tastiest parts of the year: Alon Shaya's charcuterie and relishes.
It was just over a year ago that I decided to get to work. I mean really work, and I mean on this here blog. I started it in 2008, but I tended to just piddle around on it every few months. Last summer, I had a break from work and a need to do something creative and writerly for myself, and I channelled just about all my energy into blogging. It's been an amazing year, some parts of which still make me pinch myself.
Dear readers, thank you so much for coming along for the ride. Thank you for reading my blog, for commenting and sharing your thoughts. Thanks for directing your friends and coworkers here, for recommending it to travelers looking for good places to go. Thank you for inspiring me with your own awesome blogs and food photos.

The elegant Jag Niwas Palace, the former summer residence of Jagat Singh II (18C), with its immaculately white walls, is now home to a luxury hotel - even if you're not staying here, it's worth coming to eat in the very romantic restaurant. The palace on Jag Mandir island is known for its sculptures.

Letter to the EditorMessage: Whelp. It's that time of Season again.
It's not the Mosquito's as much as the Tick's that are bugging me.
At least the skeeters have the courtesy to whine. Often times, if you are listening, you can here them coming to suck your blood and smack them down.
Nope...what bothers me the most down here in the Ozarks is the ticks.
They seem to come from everywhere. Worse...there is no safe place. I've found them in Church and in bed.
Don't get me wrong. I hate skeeters bout as much as ticks. Blood suckers are bloodsuckers after all.
Nope...I mostly hate the ticks more cause they tend to be more subtle. Crafty.
Let me give you an example.
A skeeter tends to swoop in and suck what it can get away with. Ticks...they tend to crawl slowly up to my (no pun intended as a Sergeant) privates. I'm not sure why they seem to want to go there every Election cycle, but I swear it is true!
Worse...even when you pick them off, you find they left an imbedded head infecting you years later.
I've seen it!
Worse, I've lived it.
Some folk say 'Well, just move'.
Move where? Last I checked, this was America, and as a 20 year Vet...seems to me I should be free to live anywhere.
Just not Springfield, Missouri iffn I don't like ticks.
I don't know. Maybe Mark Twain was right to flea here, but I sure don't want to spend a cold summerr in San Francisco.
Maybe, just maybe, we can all exercise our constitutional rights this election season and buy enough guns legally so that the pest problem is abated.
I'll pray for that this Sunday if you will.
You just may not like my Church...

Leap of faithI was walking down a street. Inner City. I was tired, but they stopped me.
I wasn't looking for trouble. They were Gang, I was white.
I couldn't pass.
The insults. The lines.
I was too tired.
I turned, squared off, at fifty; and asked the crew 'Who is the Man'.
Subtle gestures pointed to one sitting on a porch. He wasn't that imposing, but he was surrounded by others who were.
I stepped up. Nodded at one on the porch to move.
He surprisingly give up his seat.
Tre and I didn't know how to deal with this.
So I asked "Have you ever flown in a Plane?"
He said no.
So I told him, in front of his crew. 'Meet me at ..." with no clue how I would make this happen.
The next morning I was at' ...Field'. The deskman/field co-ord thought me crazy.
I explained. It didn't touch him. You just don't go to a small field and expect a flight. It doesn't work that way.
I pulled out my checkbook. I signed a blank check. I know Av-Gas is over $5.00/gal and I've got less that twenty in my bank.
I tried to explain again how much this would mean, sweating, before Tre showed up.
Maybe I had been to one too many Burningman's.
Tre showed up. We are at a small field. One of the last left in the inner small city of a large town.
I turned. Not knowing what to say.
He trusted me. A White man passing his portion of a Hood.
Tre showed up.
I let him down. As every other father figure, cop, or god knows who... had let him down.
A wizened man I hadn't noticed (if I did, I thought he a drunk passed out on the plastic chairs) sat up and said. 'Jim, gas me up'.
I was expecting the guy behind the counter to throw him a bottle of Old Crow.
Jim left us to pump a Cessna sitting too long as me and Tre...well...there is only one way to say this...
As MEN we individually pondered the wisdom of trusting this 80 year old sot with our lives in a small plane that was held together by bailing wire.
Bailing wire. Good typo. I know planes. This was a piece of shit with no parachutes!
Tre...Tre didn't know any better. His manhood. Pride. His Ego had him as trapped as I.
We flew. Me in the back scared as shit knowing better. Tre in the front not caring just trying to not scream 'Yahoo!' as he had never flown in his life.
Landing, hard, I could tell. He saw his 'Hood' from the air and...maybe it was just me, but he seemed bigger from seeing things smaller.
I'll never know.
I never saw him again. I moved on in life.
But I will always wonder.
Wonder why he trusted me. Wonder all those things.

Maxed out in every wayBack up to 1,800 mg of Gabapentin. Pain still crippling. Re-posting main diagnosis for the curious, but low back getting worse. I guess what I am trying to say is that I can't be there for anybody right now as I can not even be here for me...
On his radio-graphic studies, the MRI of most of his cervical spine on the PAC system from Dec. 12, 2011, shows advanced degenerative changes with a collapse of the C5-C6 and C6-C7 disk spaces. He has bilateral uncinate-process spurs that are probably a little bit worse on the right side than the left at C5-C6. The rest of the disks look normal. he does have a very large hypertrophic arthritic facet on the left at C4-C5 that is kind of where he is pointing to in his neck that hurts so much, but there is no canal compromise at any other level other than the neuroforaminal stenosis at the C5-C6 and C6-C7'
Cervical pain.
Cervical spondylosis without myeloradiculopathy.
Advanced degenerative disk disease at the C5-C6 and C6-C7.
Severe arthritic facet on the left at C4-C5.
Bilateral neuroforaminal stenosis on the right worse than the left, at C5-C6, but pretty much symmetric at C6-C7.
Left upper extremity radiculitis versus peripheral nerve entrapment.
*Regarding options*
...pain clinic for a cervical epidural steroid to try and calm things down and maybe consider a left cervical facet block at C4-C5...
*Regarding surgery fusing my spine*
...for sure he would have a C5-C6 and C6-C7, but honestly, he would be required to do the C4-C5 too because he has a very arthritic facet at that level...

Same as it ever wasI take it back...I do have something to share; but only if you have a strong stomach, are not inclined to Anarchism, or violent acts. I've been (reluctantly) reading 'When Presidents Lie - A history of official deception and it's consequences' by Eric Alterman.
It's not a fun read, but is so well documented with valid source cites that I have been forced to question much of what I learned to be the 'Truth' from grade school through college (Political Science/Government major). We, as a people, should know better. From the Burningman Org. to the preacher in the pulpit (no matter the faith). We should know better. But we don't. Time and again. We deceive ourselves. Time and again. I am seeking the truth of this in myself and I do not like what I see. Makes me wish for a kinder gentler reality, but something in my nature compels me to seek the truth even if it is ugly and hurts.
Hopefully my next post/blog will be more upbeat and life affirming. For now...I suspect the physical pain coupled with depression is fueling some psychic pain.
I'd apologize, but most of my friends are strong enough to deal with it. If you can't, you are always free to un-friend me.
Have a nice day

Caution!I'm not going to write here about the 4 day amazing quasi Burn/float trip I just got back from. Needless to say it was awesome because of the amazing people in this Community.
I'm in pain. Higher than usual. I'm cranky and lashing out at those close to me. Please consider me a wounded bear in a den licking his hurts. In other words... this would be a very bad time to poke me with sharp sticks.
I know some of Y'all want to comfort me. Fix me.
You can't, but I appreciate the Human gesture of simply wanting to heal a friend in pain or hurting because of loved one's hurt.
Thank you, All of you! for allowing me to be a part of your lives.
I don't know much, but I do know that we can not do this thing called 'Life' alone.
I hope to be back in full force writing soon, but for now...this is where I am at.

I'm sick and tired of you left wing socialist commie tree hugging media biased intellectual non-god fearing free thinking liberal progressive Obama supporting hippies using your so called science to claim Man has anything to do with your so called global warming! I watch Fox News and all of our problems are those damn (forgive me, Lord) Democrats in Washington! How do I know this to be the word of our Savior Jesus Christ? Because I listen to AM radio and Rush Limbaugh amongst others completely agree with the only real network in the world that is fair and balanced and I will die before you take away my 27 assault rifles or make me pay for health care or any taxes in general. It's a matter of principle! But I will pray for your immortal soul to be saved before you burn eternally in Hell!!!
My buzz is harshed and my chakras out of alignment from your manifestation of right wing fascist military industrial complex destroying mother nature narrow minded reactionary hate mongering Gaea denying consumerism wrapped in a sermon of fear based christianity out of context bible reading no other books allowed home schooled bullies telling me that comedy central is not a valid news source! I read Thoreau and the New Yorker and people with a lot of letters after their name so I know that my path is in tune with the Universe when I cut and paste 5 slogans a day on FB gently chiding your anachronistic world view. How do I know this to be the universal consciousness? Because when I get high I hear voices from higher beings like overlord Xenu and they all say the same thing! Only Love will cure your AK 47 wielding paranoia and my Intention is to Hold Space for you as I chant Om and walk without fear into your gated compound to give you a much needed hug thereby Manifesting world peace.

Honor thy FatherI spent part of my day researching a story.
'A letter to Bob - Flying the de Havilland Gipsy Moth' by Grant Wells.
Grant was a Pan American Airline mechanic on Guam when the Japanese attacked and spent the next 5 years in a POW camp.
My Father was a Pan Am pilot at the time, flying the China Clippers. Sikorsky's. Caribbean route during the war.
How we all ended up in Vacaville, CA is another story, but I was best friends with Jimmy Watkins, Grants Grandson, and our parents attended the same Church (Church of Christ. Every Sun morning, evening, and Wednesday to boot).
Jim's dad, Jerry Watkins, was a 'Preacher/Pilot'. He flew for TWA and pissed off his Co-Workers by always leaving a 'Jesus Saves' sticker on the Yoke after a flight.
By then, my Dad was grounded by diabetes and was working for Pan Am as an Airport Manager.
One of my first memories of the Cold War was going to work with him when I was a kid and seeing B-52's lined up on Nuclear Alert at Travis AFB. The pervasive fear of living next to a major military installation was palpable.
Anyways...Grant Wells wrote a few books. 'Funny Face' I remember was a touchimg one. It was about a dog and a Pilot and the Afterlife, but the one I called the Vacaville Reporter (local newspaper) and the Vacaville Heritage Council about was the short story about the de Havilland.
I googled and googled and googled some more.
It doesn't exist in electronic format.
Neither does Grant Wells. An amazing man who died a few years ago at 97 and had lived a life worthy of memory.
I can Google my paltry existence, but he and my Dad don't exist online.
That doesn't seem right. These men were true pioneers of Aviation.
Aviation has been in my blood since I first looked up at the skies. Every year we would take a family vacation to some exotic country. By 18 I was flying the world on C-5 Galaxy's. I didn't know until recently how blessed I was. To be exposed to different cultures since childhood. It just seemed...normal to me. I mean, Y'all have a well worn Passport don't you?!
But this isn't about me.
I want to Honor my Fathers.
Pilots, Aviators, Innovators, FAA ground breakers, Seekers, and Family Men.
As Grant Wells wrote, and as was printed in his obituary, "To those of us who have been, that others may be."

Psuede-ScienceSome nights I go to sleep with the Military channel on. The sound of bombs and bullets seem soothing.
Must be a guy thing.
Last night I to bed watching the History Channel.
Usually fact based. A good 'nod off' as it's usually boring as sin.
They are doing a thing about Black Holes.
I roll over on my side smiling anticipating dropping off quickly.
10 minutes in, they get a guy on saying that there may be a Black Hole under the Bermuda Triangle. I sit straight up going 'WTF'?!
Like, if a Black hole existed on Earth, it wouldn't be localized, it would be at the center of the planet eating mass.
We even have instruments measuring gravity in orbit.
This 'Theory' is 'Pseudo-Science', yet the History Channel just devoted 20 of 30 minutes to 'Yeah, but maybe if you suspend your logic for 1/2 an hour, we can sell you a show.'.
I see crap like this all around me. And I'm not talking Third World educationally challenged Nations. One of Three USA citizens believe in ghosts, guardian angles, and other unverifiable nonsense.
When did we Americans decide to suspend our rational thinking?
Did anybody here besides me take Science courses in College? Critical thinking?? Math?!
(I recently had a conversation with a Baptist Bible collage student who quoted me chapter and verse why the Earth couldn't possibly be more than 6,800 years old. His goal was to become a Teacher!).
One of the hardest Semesters I had at CSUS was when I was on the debate team and a course that greatly influenced me was 'Argumentation Analysis'. Researching both sides of an issue and being aware of fallacies of logic seem to escape faith based folk and hippies in general (I once had a hippie in Colorado point to a plane in the sky and say " See! That's proof the Government is spraying chemicals to control our minds!". As an Aviator I tried to explain, scientifically, the formation of Con trails at high altitude by jet aircraft. My reasoning fell on deaf ears.)
I would also argue from what I've seen posted here too often, that it is also beyond the realm of reason for some to civilly discuss complex issues currently headlined in our country. Instead the Left/Right polemic cut n paste jobs are far too common. I've seen it on both sides especially living in the tarnished buckle of the bible belt where Fox News is the gospel for most. You are what you eat, I guess. That's one reason I don't post/talk politics or religion. Mostly.
But when it comes to science, I draw a line. Facts are facts and no amount of wishful thinking will change that!
That said...I have had a few experiences in my life that I cannot rationally explain (I'll share one in just a sec). As I close in on the end of my days, I find that I am becoming more flexible in some ways...one I guess you'd call 'spiritual'.
I am more willing to say 'I don't know'.
ex. When I was 26, I was the Chairman of the Board for student govt. at Sac State. Budget 3.6 mill, BMOC, member of the Sig Ep Fraternity, smoking hot GF who loved to...you know...and I found myself at a lake in the Sierra's with a gun in my hand pointed at my temple.
I don't know how long I sat there cocked and loaded, but in the quiet of a still night a voice came to me. I don't believe it was aural, but I also don't believe that it came from my mind. It was...other. 5 words. Clear and concise. True from balls to bone.
The message, the words were "This is not your path".
Since that night I have felt suicidal. Who hasn't? But it's a place that I never have to go because of those 5 simple words from...something other than me.
Where was I...oh yeah (Sorry. Y'all know I tend to ramble as I just sit and type whatever some mornings) Pseudo Science!
I hate hate hate folk who spout nonsense and when called out on it can not justify their logic but instead ask me to just accept that it must be true. Kinda reminds me of when I was a kid and I would ask my Dad something. He would respond with the stock parent answer 'Because'. That never sat well with me. By the age of 8, I quit asking and started reading.
I fear for my species and weep for my country sometimes.
If the majority of Americans do not start opening their minds, researching the issues, vetting claims, when posting...source citing reputable publications; as opposed to saying 'I saw it on the Internet so it must be true' (and every time that you cross post or cut n paste an issue without commentary or analysis that is EXACTLY what you do!) I will pull a 'Rush Limbaugh' and emigrate to whatever Third World Nation that he ain't in!
Whew! Heck of a rant. I don't know about you, but I feel drained. Musta needed to get some shit out. Speaking of...it's time for my morning three esses.
While I am gone I'd like Y'all to debate Twin Tower conspiracies, UFO abductions, and Playa floggings.

weighs 20.5 lbs
probably going to get a longer stem and different cranks eventually, and a matching rear wheel. But until then i'm going to enjoy the hell out of it.
I may be fat but I'm slow enough to make up for it.
No, reason you all didn't see me at the PBA rides this weekend was that the wife and I decided that after a week's 'vacation' in LA with family we needed a vacation to recover from our vacation. So we jumped in the car after work on Friday and headed down to Austin for the weekend. I'll have to drag myself into the trainer tonight.
06' Newest 4.0
I wanted an inexpensive entry-level bike and last June I found an '06 Newest 4.0 for $299.00 brand new. It's been very dependable and I have had no problems with it.
After riding it almost 900 miles, I am wanting to upgrade to a '07 Roubaix.
Hopefully I can do that next spring.
2010 Specialized Allez Elite
Boomer Sooner!
I have a 2003 Fuji Super Lite. Great bike for the money. I do notice a bit of BB flex as well,
but is stiff enough to be a good climber, just not the best I have ever had, but real good.
It is also super comfortable for long rides of 60+ miles and also for centuries, it is my bike
of choice. It is lighter than my Trek 5200 and Trek 5500 was, but not quite as stiff in the BB
area as those two. Works great for long climbs though, and very well for short climbs, just not
quite as good as the Trek's. I love the Fuji, it is my main road bike, and a complete bargain for
the price I got it for. It was a steal.
2007 Team Issue Euro
2007 Outland Pro
-2007 Fuji Team Issue
-2007 Fuji Outland Pro
i guess this doesn't count
"if the thunder don't get you...
then the lightning will" r.h
Weather permitting, we'll be out this weekend, but probably not the following as I have friends in town so I'll probably only get a few quick 20 mile rides from the house in that weekend.
If you need a garage/work-stand to build up that Team Issue, give me a shout.
(Mini thread hyjack over after this post I promise): Weather looks fantastic for this weekend. I hope to have the Fuji ready to roll on Saturday or at the latest Sunday.
Here's where I am right now with the build:
Finally got a pic with the stickers off of the wheels
Maybe not as high zoot as the two previous, but I like it anyway.
king-tony -
That's a double-wall aluminum rim wheel, obviously, right ?
Personally, I think there's a huge difference ... between regular wheel and double-wall
rim ...the latter is heavier, and slower. Less "feel" for the road.
I like the regular wheels, even if at 190 lbs/ 200 lbs it's a bit stressed out.
I didn't get any spokes broken until 3 years later.
My spur of the moment buy while killing time before a job interview. Some guilt though, because I bought from a chain (next door to play I was interviewing and now work). Their post-buy service sucks. I got what I deserve. Really digg the bike though
Fuji Team Pro Mentioned Earlier in thread and today - Fuji Aloha 1.0
I will get pictures up next week when new bike arrives, but I am now a (2) Fuji owner. First one 3 mts ago, and Fuji Aloha 1.0 today.
More the impulse buy, as it started as research for next year, but got a great deal on it. Actually wanted Cervelo entry level, but could not pass up the deal on Fuji, and now have money for wheels etc. Fuji really gives you bang for the buck in components.
I now have to figure out how to explain all my time /money going into biking and why I bought another bike to my wife and inlaws.
My explanation - Healthy middle age crazy - 40's thing, but a lot cheaper than convertible sports car or a divorce and marrying a 20 something.
I never thought this biking disease was going to get me as I was content for 8 yrs on my other bike.
OK, let me be the first:
Kestrel Talon, 2007 frame. Full ultegra, Neuvation M28Aero2 wheels. It doesn't look like it would but this bike makes for a great long distance ride. The frame was built before Fuji bought out Kestrel, but, well, I guess it's a Fuji now!
Any fool can criticize, condemn, and complain; and most fools do.
I have a 1982? maybe 83 Fuji Del Rey Frame with Suntour components. The Del Rey debuted Fuji's "Val-lite" tubing. I think it was quad butted! This was a touring bike. It was originally a Fuji S-18-S, but the frame was out of alignment when purchased, and I did not notice it as a 15 year old until a year later. The seat stays were actually different lengths because of where they had been welded into the Seat tube-toptube junction. Anyway, it was a good ride and it made it to Germany, Switzerland and Lichtenstein and back in 1985. It got a bent crank at some point which was not a problem when I started riding it as I retuned to cycling in 2004, but last year I tried a century in December and I think the combination of the bent crank and the cold left me hobbled with a sore knee till February. It has been hanging in the garage ever since, but I still have fond thoughts of it.

New Law Proposal Spawned from Case
Gutowski, Christy, Daily Herald (Arlington Heights, IL)
Byline: Christy Gutowski Daily Herald Legal Affairs Writer
Weeks before her violent death, Erin Justice told Naperville police in an interview and a written statement that her stepfather molested her.
Authorities allege the man, Laurence E. Lovejoy, killed Erin on March 27, 2004, to forever silence her about the rape.
A judge's recent ruling limiting inclusion of the teen's words in the murder trial may make it harder for prosecutors to prove a motive for the killing.
At issue is Lovejoy's constitutionally protected right to confront his accuser in court.
Prosecutors argue he forfeited that right when he killed the 16- year-old girl, but the defense counters he has not been convicted, and letting a jury hear such "hearsay" evidence is too prejudicial.
A U.S. Supreme Court ruling that came down days before Erin's murder further limited the prosecution's use at trial of prior statements of unavailable witnesses such as Erin - no matter how reliable a judge finds them to be.
Noting the ruling, DuPage Circuit Judge Kathryn Creswell found Lovejoy forfeited his right to confront his accuser in the rape case, but that the legal concept did not apply to the murder trial. That means the jury will not be allowed to read Erin's four-page statement or hear testimony from the Naperville police detectives with whom the teen spoke. …
