Seth Nagelberg is an artist and designer working primarily in clay. In 2015 Nagelberg published his first book, Batch Manufacturing for Ceramics: Models and Molds, Process to Product. He was selected for the Open Studio Residency at Haystack Mountain School in Maine, summer 2015. Before joining Cleveland Institute of Art, Nagelberg was assistant professor at Parsons The New School For Design in New York City. He has done consultation work for Rookwood Pottery and fabrication for Calvin Klein Collection. Nagelberg says, "I choose clay for its properties. Whether working from ready-made objects or starting from a sketch, I strive to create a cohesive language of forms that inform and inspire new designs. My exploration of manufacturing techniques and technology enables me to connect the past and future of ceramics." His work has been published in Ceramics: Art and Perception and American Craft magazine. Nagelberg has taught workshops at Greenwich House Pottery, Cranbrook Academy of Art, Ceramic Supply Inc, Hartford Art School and Peters Valley School of Craft.expand collapse

ZF-2154: formLabel should be "for" ID, not NAME
The "for" attribute of the formLabel view helper is populated with the name parameter it is given, however, the "for" attribute should reference the ID attribute of its related form field (http://w3.org/TR/xhtml-modularization/…).
This is not much of an issue using the default components as NAME is generally equal to ID, but when overriding the Zend_View_Helper_FormElement::getInfo() function to use a different algorithm to generate IDs (for example to remove illegal "[" & "]" characters) the connection between the label and the form field breaks.
Proposed Patch
Scheduled for 1.0.3 release
Fixed in revision ZF-2154. Thanks, Brenton.
I mean revision 7389. Wrong clipboard :)

Rated 5 out of 5 by BobT Nice Bar Great price, easy to put together, nice and sturdy with lots of space for bar necessities. May 1, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Accylass Looks amazing! I bought this bar cabinet when it went on sale, which made it AMAZING value for money. Putting it together was a little tedious (as some holes / dowels were incorrectly placed),but I made it through in a few hours (although I did take a few breaks) and it looks fantastic! April 24, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Danielle1017 Amazing! This is my favorite piece of furniture. It has so much storage, is super sturdy, and looks great. We also got it on sale, so the value is incredible! It took a little bit of time to put together, but it was well worth it (especially because my husband did most of the work putting it together)! July 31, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by TPapi Good Looking Sturdy Bar This bar is incredibly sturdy, so you have no concern about filling it with wine, liqueur, glasses and barware. It looks great, holds a lot and fits neatly in a nook in our kitchen to give us storage and some counter space. The fold out top gives us even more room when entertaining. putting it together took some time, but wasn't too difficult and went together exactly as described. A big recommendation from me. April 2, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by DMarie Fantastic bar! This was a gift for my son and he loved it! Assembly takes a while but very nice piece of furniture! The ship to the store option would have been a nice way to save the extra shipping fee. January 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Maggie19 Amazing Bar I bought this bar in the Antique Black color. It arrived in two boxes. Assembly is required and my husband and I were able to put it together in about an hour. It looks great in our dinning room! It has plenty of space for wine glasses, bar tools, and wine bottles. It is such excellent quality and definitely worth the price. The bar is quite sturdy and looks great! July 23, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by angelao522 Great dining room accessory The bar was great as described. The handles don't attach very well and the screws are very hard to get in and tighten for the handles. The rest of the assembly was pretty easy. Unrelated to the actual piece of furniture, the delivery service that dropped this piece of furniture off STOLE the furniture, returned it to WM, received gift cards and I had to pick it up from the store. I didn't receive my delivery charge back either. IT WAS A RIDICULOUS SITUATION that WM did not rectify well. Very disappointed by their lack of concern of making the situation right. June 2, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by SamanthaP Love this peice! This item kept coming in and out of stock, but we were finally able to order it online. It looks perfect in our study. It has storage for wine, liquor and plenty of shelve space. The only downfall was that since it was only available online, we had to pay the $75 handling charge. Then when we received the item, one of racks were split. They were unable to replace the piece that was broken, so we took discount instead. Note: It took my husband several hours to put together. We love this store, but the directions on assembly are vague and often inaccurate. May 15, 2015

THIS CAKE is so moist it doesn't need frosting. I simply sprinkle powdered sugar over the top. It's my favorite dessert to bring for potlucks, and there's never a piece left to take home! -Beulah Sak, Fairport, New York
- 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 tablespoons baking cocoa
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup cold water
- Confectioners' sugar
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda and salt. Using a spoon, make three wells in the dry ingredients. Pour oil into one, vinegar into another and vanilla into the third. Slowly pour water over all. Beat on low speed until thoroughly combined (batter will be thin.)
- Pour into a greased and floured 8-in. square baking dish. Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. Dust with confectioners' sugar. Yield: 9 servings.
Editor's Note: Pieces of cake can be wrapped individually and frozen for a quick dessert.

"I've made this recipe many times and it always turns out moist and delicious. It's a good idea to grease the pan, line with parchment paper, and then grease and flour the parchment paper in order to ensure that the cake comes out of the pan easily without falling apart. I double the amount of cocoa and vanilla in this recipe also.The last time I made this cake, I used white whole wheat flour, 1/4 C olive oil, and 3/4 cups honey in place of the original ingredients. It was still delicious and this is how I'll be making it from now on (no white sugar or flour means much less guilt for me!)"

Although the practice of recycling hot-mix asphalt (HMA) pavement has been in widespread use since the early 1980s, the industry has became comfortable with using only a nominal amount of recycled material in asphalt mixtures. It has been common to find 10% to 20% reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) in new, dense-graded HMA. Now that energy prices are rising, with infrastructure budgets not yet adjusted to keep up with the increases, it is time look for ways to amplify our reuse of asphalt pavements to between 30% and 40% where possible.
The economic and environmental benefits of using recycled asphalt were thoroughly documented when the practice was begun more than 25 years ago. At that time, some field trials were constructed with mixtures containing up to 80% RAP. Subsequent limitations on usage of the recycled pavement were due to the emission controls in place then, the cracking of some projects containing a high percentage of reclaimed asphalt, and the lack of a performance test to indicate the behavior of the mix. But with current plant designs, emissions can be minimized at high RAP contents, and with proper mix design and assessment, performance problems can be addressed.
In high-RAP-content mixtures, it is important to understand the characteristics of the recycled materials as well as those of the virgin materials. With this knowledge, we can develop strategies for percentages of RAP to be used in different kinds of HMA, devise stockpiling plans to optimize recycled usage, and develop testing programs for materials and mixtures.
The location of the mixture containing RAP is important, too, since lower layers in the pavement are not subject to as much temperature change or rutting as the surface course; these factors will affect the performance grade of the binder needed. The asphalt content of the recycled pavement must be determined by ignition oven or solvent extraction to properly assess the grade and amount of virgin binder needed.
As the percentage of recycled asphalt in the mixture is increased, the aggregate gradation and other aggregate properties become increasingly important. The proper characterization of RAP aggregate requires that the aged asphalt binder be removed via ignition oven or solvent extraction prior to grading and other types of aggregate testing. The properties of the total combined aggregate (reclaimed pavement aggregate mixed with virgin) must be considered when compared to criteria for aggregate in the final mix.
The mix design process is slightly different from that required for hot-mix composed of virgin materials. During sample preparation, a predetermined percentage of RAP is added to the virgin aggregate after the virgin aggregate has been heated. The virgin asphalt is added, and then the process is similar to the volumetric design of any pavement made with hot-mix asphalt.
The National Cooperative Highway Research Program's Report 452 provides useful step-by-step RAP mix design procedures and examples (see Additional Information". The use of higher recycled content in mixtures comes at a time when agencies and contractors are moving toward mix design methods that include performance tests. These types of accelerated laboratory tests focus on the mixture behavior needed to resist rutting, cracking, and environmental degradation rather than mix designs based strictly on volumetric heuristics.

My lower body has been a train wreck the last few days, I didn't listen deciding to race anyway and today I paid the price. My calves/left hammie tightened up something good DURING MY STINKIN' WARMUP from a hip issue that I've had from a nasty fight with physics and gravity that I lost a few weeks ago, and even with the stick, rolling them on a tennis ball, stretching and massage the gods of all things Knobby said "NO SOUP FOR YOU TODAY" so I didn't even take the start line.
I tried everything I know of to get loose (sprints, fast hill climbs, high cadence work, etc), and nothing worked.
Never had a DNS. I hate this sport.....
I hope other people had better days.........

The Huntsman family is considering developing its Deer Valley estate with its partner, an attorney who represents the family said on Monday, something that had not been anticipated when the property went on the market nearly four years ago.
The estate, 5000 Royal St., has been on the market since mid-2009. It was listed for $55 million when it was put up for sale. Joe Wrona, the attorney, said the estate had been actively marketed, but the Huntsman family and the partner, Salt Lake City-based Gardner Company, now want to develop the property instead of selling the acreage.
The estate covers approximately 60 acres of land stretching between Marsac Avenue and Royal Street. The listing real estate agent when it went on the market, Deedee Corradini, called the estate "truly the crown jewel of Deer Valley" shortly after it was put up for sale.
Jon Huntsman Sr., the industrialist and the father of former Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr., built the estate in 1989. The property has one house but has broader development potential. The asking price reflected the development prospects much more than the house that is there. Wrona said there have been multiple offers for the estate, but none resulted in a transaction.
Wrona said the Huntsman family and its partner are considering several development options, including one that would involve a few houses and another one that envisions building townhouses or duplexes in a clustered layout.
The estate's development potential could be of greater interest than it was when it went on the market in 2009. In the time since then, Deer Valley Resort has begun exploring the possibility of building a gondola linking the slopes and Main Street. Details about a route have not been decided, but Wrona said the Huntsman estate could be a critical parcel as a gondola line is finalized. He said many potential routes between Main Street and Silver Lake Village in upper Deer Valley would cross the estate.
"It's a prime location for a gondola midway station that included load, unload," Wrona said, noting that a gondola station on the estate could also provide access to numerous other homeowners in the vicinity.
If it is a place where riders can get on and off the gondola, it seems there would be interest in development beyond the terminal of the gondola itself.
Deer Valley officials have said a gondola could debut for the 2014-2015 ski season, at the earliest. Wrona said development on the Huntsman estate could commence as early as 2014, depending on the type of project and the permits that are needed. It is not clear what sort of City Hall approvals would be needed for a development on the Huntsman estate.
Deer Valley sees a gondola linking the slopes to Main Street as something that would provide a competitive edge. The Brew Pub lot close to the southern end of Main Street has been widely publicized as the likely location of one of the terminals. Silver Lake Village could be the location of the other terminal, Deer Valley officials have said.

For more than two decades, Joe Krier was a driving force behind every important civic and economic development initiative in San Antonio and the South Texas region. From 1987 through 2007, he served as President and CEO of The Greater San Antonio Chamber of Commerce, managing a $4M budget and a staff of 36 association professionals. Under his leadership, the 2,000 member organization was the area's primary advocate for business, helping build a stronger, more broadly based San Antonio economy.
Responsible for raising millions of dollars for four rounds of base closings under the Base Realignment and Closure process (BRAC), he helped develop and implement the 2005 strategy that resulted in San Antonio's success and new position as the home of all military medical training. He played an integral role in securing major infrastructure projects for San Antonio, including the AT&T Center and the Alamodome, and was an indispensable partner in the creation of a number of organizations that will benefit San Antonio for decades to come, including San Antonio Sports (formerly the San Antonio Sports Foundation), Free Trade Alliance San Antonio, and the San Antonio Tourism Council. His efforts to create BioMed SA and the San Antonio Technology Accelerator Initiative (SATAI) helped build the area's medical, biomedical, and technology industries.
His peers twice elected him Chairman of the Metro 8, Texas' eight largest chambers of commerce. The original purpose of that organization was to support funding for higher education in major Texas cities. It later expanded its focus to work on other issues including transportation, water, economic development, public education and workforce training, and health care. He also chaired the Texas Association of Chamber Executives and served on the board of the national Association of Chamber Executives.
Elected and appointed to various statewide and national leadership positions, Krier was the Founding Chairman and Board member of Texans for Safe Reliable Transportation and served as Chairman of the San Antonio Mobility Coalition (SAMCo). He was appointed by Governor Perry to both the Interim Study Commission on Transportation Financing and the Texas Department of Transportation Strategic Plan Task Force. The late Governor Ann Richards appointed him to a six year term on the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, where he served as Chairman of the Task Force on the Development of the Technology Work Force, Chairman of the Universities Committee, and Board Secretary.

Two-Goal Third Lifts Clarkson Over Princeton 3-2 in Men's Hockey
PRINCETON, N.J. (2/15/13) - A two-goal third period lifted Clarkson to a 3-2 come-from-behind win over the Princeton men's hockey team on Friday, Feb. 15 at Hobey Baker Rink.
Princeton had a 2-1 lead at the end of the second period scoring goals three minutes apart. Clarkson would get the game-tying goal with 5:30 to play and then tallied the game winner with 3:07 left in regulation.
Clarkson came out and dominated control of the puck in the first period, taking 15 shots to Princeton's seven. Junior netminder Sean Bonar kept the Tigers alive stopping all 15 chances. He had less work to do in the second period as shots were even at both ends 12-12.
Matt Zarbo ended the stalemate 1:02 into the second period when he skated down the left boards and sent a shot in on Bonar. Jarrett Burton was on the doorstep and picked up the rebound and pushed it back to Zarbo who beat Bonar on the second chance.
Senior Rob Kleebaum evened the game at 10:33 with help from sophomore Tom Kroshus. Both were battling with defenders on the right side boards and Kroshus grabbed possession and fed Kleebaum inside the circle. Kleebaum fired from the bottom of the circle and it got it past goalie Greg Lewis.
Senior defender Michael Sdao gave Princeton the lead at 13:12. Junior Andrew Calof picked up a loose puck in the corner and pushed it up the boards to Tyler Maugeri. Maugeri corralled the puck and fed Sdao at the blue line, who one-timed the puck into the back of the net.
Clarkson battled in the third period to find the equalizer and did so at 14:30 on a goal from Simon Bessette. Less than a minute later the Tigers took a tripping call and Clarkson used the momentum to score the go-ahead goal as TJ Moor popped in a power-play goal with help from Bessette and Paul Geiger.
Bonar finished the game with 35 saves for Princeton, Clarkson's Lewis stopped 25 shots. Princeton was 0 for 1 on the power play and 2 of 3 on the penalty kill.
Princeton falls to 9-11-4 overall and 7-7-3 in the league. Clarkson joins Princeton with 17 points with a 7-7-3 record and is now 8-14-7. The teams are tied for sixth place in the league standings, along with Dartmouth. Seven points separates 10 teams in the league.
The Tigers face St. Lawrence tomorrow, Feb. 16 at 7 p.m. The Saints handed No. 1 Quinnipiac a 2-1 loss this evening.

DCCC to participate in National Voter Registration Day 2013
Published: Tuesday, September 17, 2013 at 10:42 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, September 17, 2013 at 10:42 a.m.
The Student Government Association at Davidson County Community College has partnered in National Voter Registration Day on Sept. 24 and will engage a campus event to encourage voter registration. The event will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the courtyard.
The theme for this year's NVRD — "Millions of people will vote this year. Will you?" — is representative of the importance of off-year elections, according to a DCCC press release. Of significance are the 1,500 statewide and local political races and ballot initiatives that will be decided this Election Day, Nov. 5. The goal for the 2013 NVRD is to create awareness of off-year elections by encouraging Americans to register to vote and come out to the polls this fall.
"Young people need to participate in the decision-making process, which involves choosing leaders who will have a direct bearing on the future of this nation," says SGA President Richard Akashambatwa. "These leaders make decisions that will affect us directly. Our voice can only be heard if we participate in voting."
The effort's website, nationalvoterregistrationday.org, provides a listing of National Voter Registration Day events across the country.
For more information about the event, contact Lynne Watts at 249-8186 or email email@example.com.

In a very disturbing article from the Daily News, we discover that residents in the Queens neighborhood of the Rockaways are using anything they can get their hands on to protect their homes after Sandy devastated their area, including bows and arrows. From the Daily News:
Ever since Sandy strafed the Queens peninsula and tore up the boardwalk, it's become an often lawless place where cops are even scarcer than electrical power and food. Locals say they are arming themselves with guns, baseball bats, booby traps — even a bow and arrow — to defend against looters.
"After sunset everyone locks their doors," said Meyer, as he loaded up a solar panel from a factory in the Brooklyn Navy Yard to bring to local residents. "They're trying to find whatever weapons they can find. Some people are even using bows and arrows."
Further east in the Rockaways, hunger stalked the community as angry residents lined up for food deliveries and complained they were being abandoned.
Good Samaritans had set up makeshift food throughout the peninsula Friday, grilling food and passing out water, while the Red Cross and FEMA was nowhere in sight.

On Monday, Saudi Arabia stated again its support for the Egyptian people. During its weekly meeting, the Cabinet welcomed the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz's strong support for the Egyptian people against terrorism, sedition and external interference and hoped that security and stability will prevail in Egypt.
On August 16, King Abdullah issued a statement expressing the Kingdom's support for the Egyptian people in their struggle "against terrorism, extremism and sedition, and against whoever is trying to interfere in Egypt's internal affairs and in its determination, power and legitimate right to deter every spoiler or whoever misleads the people of Egypt." King Abdullah cautioned that those who interfered in Egypt's internal affairs are "fanning the fire of sedition and are promoting the terrorism which they call fighting."
King Abdullah said the events in Egypt "only please enemies of Egypt's stability and security and its people, but at the same time pain all those who love Egypt and care for its stability and unity which are, today, targets for all evil wishers." King Abdullah went on to say, "This attempt to unsettle Egypt's unity and stability -- carried out by the ignorant, the inadvertent, or the mindful of the enemies' design -- will, God willing, be fruitless."

One tall step on the podium for Kevin Nicol
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
Kevin, Tom Danielson & Scott M. on Mt Evans
Photo Credit:???
Winning any race is a huge victory and winning the overall in any race is one felt by few. Kevin Nicol of Tokyo Joe's-Whole Foods/ Primal team won the men's field at the season opener, Frostbite TT under evil windy conditions but it the wind was nothing compared to what he had to over come in the last 9 months that makes his stop on the podium an impessive achievement. Last year at the prestigious Gila race in New Mexico Kevin suffered a crash that left him with displaced fracture of the femoral neck and a shattered collarbone. Here is how Kevin describes it.
[303Cycling] First off, basic details, you crashed at the Gila which put you out for the rest of last season?
[Kevin] Last May, the "Crash" was quite dramatic and life changing. First stage at Gila, about 75miles
in, my front wheel was swept out. Landed and first thought was "Get Up!" Couldn't move my leg and my collar bone was shattered. Helmet was split…always wear a helmet! That was a very long ambulance ride given the almost certainty of emergency surgery; no drink, food or pain meds, talk about bonking!
Every little crack in the floor on the gurney was crazy pain as they rolled me onto the imaging table with a tarp. The x-rays were kind of interesting in that behind my shoulder and hip was what appeared to be a handful of safety pins….all my clothes were cut off and left underneath, including my numbers. The result from all of this drama was a collarbone that required 12 screws and 6" titanium plate to repair, and more significantly, a displaced fracture of the femoral neck. I was told there was a 50% mortality rate for this type of injury. The consensus amongst the Gila Regional Orthopedic Surgeon, Dr Carreon, family doctors in Colorado, and Dr. Inigo San Milan http://www.coloradocenter.com , my trainer and friend, was that I was to have a full hip replacement that next day. My team mate, Tom Zirbel was very reassuring in that one of his clients happened to be my surgeon's business partner and that he was an extremely qualified, Harvard Grad.
I lucked out in that they actually do over 100 of these procedures a year at the hospital, go figure? My loving wife caught a flight to El Paso, hired a guy in an old Cadillac to drive her to Silver City and met me as I came out of recovery. I'm now the proud owner of a Stryker titanium full hip component.
I was grateful for all the support that came my way, my team manager and friend Barry Lee sat at the bedside for days. Team mates past and present came by, Diana's Restaurant; go there!, in Silver City, sent me meals and muffins, even after I came home! I couldn't eat much, but it fed my visitors. I was there about a week and the hospital staff was so compassionate. I made many friends in New Mexico, who to this day I still keep in touch with.
[303Cycling] How has the training and healing been this year so far? Did you enter the year way behind
or had you healed up enough last year that allowed to to get some base in before winter training kicked in?
[Kevin] Baby steps….at first I was wondering if I'd ever walk again. It's amazing how your perspective
is altered when one day you think nothing of riding a bike for 6 hours and the next; it's an exhausting perilous effort to even get up. The saving grace was entering this rehab in good form from racing all spring. I was decently fit and could do things that sped up the progress tremendously. It was daunting though, the hip replacement, bolted together shoulder and covered in road rash, and yeah, a chipped out tooth. My friend and professional physical therapist Charlie Merrill encouraged me to get on top of things right away. At first it was just getting across the room, than walking around the block with a crutch, walking around the park, walking miles, hiking up mountains and then finding the bike again. My first goal was to ride with my son to school on bike-to-school day, never missed one. 2.5 weeks after the fall and with a very, say, concerned wife, I rode the mile. Had to have a milk crate to dismount and my daughter had to help get my shoe off….the buckle had broken in the crash and would not release. It was almost funny with her, screw driver in hand trying to get this thing off my foot.
My Orthopedic surgeon in Boulder put the fear of God into me. I was capable of permanent disability if I screwed things up. My crew at Pace/West Physical Therapy looked at me as the supreme challenge. First day I had to take the elevator up. The rehab sessions were very intense and to this day I'm in once/week, probably for another 2 months. I cannot express enough gratitude for their care.
Again, baby steps. Almost daily, there were dramatic changes, so it was very difficult to set the bar as it was always different. I hiked up Bear Peak many times with my Kahtoola Microspikes. After riding progressed passed the indoor, I wanted to do things that used to feel "normal." I started doing my favorite climbs….Magnolia….the first time, I was actually concerned my leg might pop off, but it held fast.
A crazy idea hit me to do the Moriarty Record Challenge in September. 40K time trial event and in my mind should be plenty safe. My friend Nico Toutenhoofd assured me the only fall was by an 80year old at the turn around years ago. I really had no more aspirations than to get there and participate in a race once more. I watched races go by all season that I have done every year since I was 15. I started "training." Took a family trip to Durango in August and I snuck a bike into the car. I rode with my light there before the sun came up so as not to draw too much attention. For the first time, I rode to Silverton, met the family for lunch and then rode back to Durango. That was a long way, but I was grinning ear to ear! About two weeks before Moriarty, the Buckeye TT came up. Last minute, I jumped in. All my stuff was still packed away from Gila so it was like opening up a time capsule. I found a team mate's sock, someone's wrench, a bunch of race food. This first race was like the world championships to me. I really wasn't quite ready physically. I had my bags packed two days before and Nico's loaned P4 TT machine, no better friend than that! Short story, I missed my start time, first time ever, due to misprint, and did the master event with 15 minutes from street clothes to start line. I was learning how to use Nico's Powertap the first two miles of the race.
[303Cycling] Has the crash changed your outlook for the 2012 race calendar in any way? What are those
2012 goals?
[Kevin] The crash has changed me as a person; I'm not the same and never will be. There is so much
support and encouragement out there, friends, family and an amazing team and sponsors (Tokyo Joes-Whole Foods/Primal). It's easy for people to forget about things because it's not visible but for those with a trained eye. At that first race here in Colorado there were a bunch of Paracyclists, it was their Worlds qualifier. For the first time, I thought, that's me, you just can't see it. They are out here pouring their heart into something they are passionate about. It's ok to do something you love. I have raced bikes most of my life and am quite fond of the small tight knit community we have here. As far as racing, I'm day to day. I have a few personal goals, but I have to be respectful of my family and risks. I am not used to thinking about whether it's slick out, windy, or what-not. Frostbite TT conditions were no surprise, I've done this many times, and hats off to everyone who participated, you are hard. Chris Carr in particular had a great ride.
[303Cycling] Last question: What has this crash done to you mentally? How did you move on after such
a terrible crash?
[Kevin] I have a bit different take on things…..this incident was a gift….it's up to you to open it. Not one moment do I take for granted. I did my first big bunch ride in Boulder two weeks ago. Only when you have something taken away from you in the blink of an eye do you learn to truly appreciate. Having a big event in one's life does not only affect one aspect, but cascades in many directions. As I learned from Chris West at his clinic, opportunities present themselves that would normally not be there if certain occurrences in life were not to happen.

I like you site, but there is a lot of fluff on here and the comments section is like going back to middle school (why not use a log in system, or even Facebook?). But I have to say I love stores like this, about local people, doing cool things. Stories like this are why I read this site and will keep coming back. Thank you Kris, David and who ever else is on here. Oh yeah, more stores from Ester, she rocks.

Includes an exclusive Web extra—The Roommates Next Door
We've heard all the stories: how congressmen can go a little crazy with their living arrangements on Capitol Hill, far from their wives, children and constituents. Most notorious is C Street, the shorthand address for a rooming house refuge for a group of conservative Christians, mostly Republican, two of whom—Nevada senator John Ensign and former Mississippi representative Charles "Chip" Pickering—made headlines in recent years for cheating on their wives. Former Representative Mark Sanford, a regular visitor before he became South Carolina governor, sought counsel from C Streeters last summer during an adulterous romance with his Argentine soul mate.
Only a block away, Democrats have an infamous dwelling of their own, the so-called Animal House. Since the 1970s, an ever-changing cast of lawmakers—currently a pair each from the House and the Senate—have shared quarters so small that two of them sleep in the living room, and so notoriously dirty that Illinois Senator Richard Durbin, who occupies an upstairs bedroom, told ABC News he once used a golf club to kill a rat on the premises.
Neither of those setups is what you'd call normal. But even for other members of Congress—most of whom manage to find clean, conventional living situations—the requirements of serving the public by spending weekdays in D.C. are pretty surreal, especially for those who are married. Win a seat and odds are you'll leave the family back home (where you try to squeeze in some weekend quality time with them between constituent events). Your D.C. days often start with predawn workouts, sunrise media events or breakfast meetings and may not end until final votes are cast at 10 or 11 at night. Meantime, you stay in touch with the folks at home as best you can via phone, e-mails, texting and video.
That's how Carolyn Maloney, a Democratic congresswoman from New York City, lived for a dozen years after her 1993 swearing-in, and then she said, "Enough." Maloney, 64, lived alone in a one-bedroom apartment while her husband, Clifton, an investment banker, stayed behind in their Upper East Side town house with the couple's two young daughters. Maloney's digs were far from squalid, but she grew to hate the solitude. "I'm a people person, and I really got tired of not having anyone around to talk to," she says. In 2005, using an inheritance from her father, she bought a new, $1.5 million row house on a quiet street overlooking a park just blocks from her office. Then she went roommate hunting. Longtime colleagues already had lodgings, so she trolled the freshman class. And she got lucky.
Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, 43, whose heavily Democratic South Florida district had given her a 70 percent win, was a former state legislator who had spent 12 years sharing Tallahassee rentals with other female pols while her husband, banker Steve Schultz, held down the fort back in Weston, Florida, with the couple's three children. "I am not a loner," she says, echoing Maloney's sentiment. "I like company if I have to be away from my family."
In fact, Wasserman Schultz had just found a new best friend in fellow Democrat Melissa Bean, 48, a high-tech consultant and political novice who, on her second try, unseated an 18-term Republican in Chicago's northwestern suburbs. The two newcomers discovered they had made the same decision: not to uproot their husbands and kids. (Bean's husband, Alan, runs an executive search firm; he stays at home in Illinois with their two teenage daughters.) They both wanted roommates, and both wanted to live in a house with other mothers.
"I knew my kids would be calling with homework questions," Bean explains. "And they would want to come visit—not just with one friend, but five." She couldn't wish that on "someone who isn't a mom—or who was a mother 20 years ago," she says, "I just wanted to make sure it wouldn't be imposing."
Maloney, of course, had no idea her two colleagues were in the market. She just announced her available rooms at an orientation session for freshman spouses and Wasserman Schultz's husband Steve was in the audience. He promptly volunteered his wife and Bean, and soon afterward the two newly elected congresswomen moved into what Maloney now calls her sorority house.
The chatelaine has the top-floor master suite, dominated by a massive Victorian bedstead and mirror; a nearby space doubles as her office/guest room. Bean and Wasserman Schultz share the second floor, which includes two bedrooms with en suite baths and a laundry room. All three use the open main level: a living and dining area furnished with French gilt mirrors, a Victorian sofa, Oriental rugs and Asian art (all Maloney family antiques); a cozy TV room leading to a back porch; and a gourmet kitchen with a Viking range (rarely used) and a refrigerator (nearly empty).
"We can't keep milk fresh," Bean says. "We have frozen food for the kids when they visit—pizza, spaghetti—and we've got water, soda and microwave popcorn." She then ticks off guest sleeping spaces as though touting a beach rental: "Debbie has a pullout love seat for when her kids visit. I have a queen-size bed; one of my daughters can crash with me, and the other sleeps on the AeroBed. When it's inflated I can't open my dresser drawers. There's a pullout couch in the living room. Carolyn has an office with a daybed, so that's where her daughter sleeps. We've had our husbands over, too, and then mom and dad sleep in the bed. There are times when it's really crowded."
Maloney won't say what she charges (though she calls the setup "a great deal" for her tenants). But the real payoff—for all three of them—has been emotional rather than financial. The arrangement has turned out to be rewarding in ways none of the players could have imagined five years ago when they began their communal living adventure.
Of the 435 members of the House of Representatives, only 73 are women—and "a very small minority of us are moms with [young] kids," Wasserman Schultz says. So, to her, their home "really is like a sisterhood. We three are the only congresswomen who live together. We rely on each other." That means everything from averting a mini clothing crisis—"I have raided Carolyn's drawer for pantyhose when I've had runs," confesses Bean—to sharing confidences about husbands and children, from brainstorming on legislation and fund-raising to providing emergency babysitting.
Wasserman Schultz is the most partisan politician of the three; Bean, the most conservative and business-focused. Maloney, who cut her teeth on New York's City Council, was an invaluable resource for the newcomers. "So much of the time, we come home and get her advice—'Who should I talk to about getting this bill moving if I'm trying to get the opposition from an industry to back off?'—Carolyn's experience doing these things for 18 years has been tremendous for Melissa and me. She's such an incredible legislator." After a second's pause: "I think we are all good legislators." Maloney says simply, "We mentor each other."
A typical day at what the National Journal has dubbed the home of the Member Moms begins with the stirring of early riser Maloney. Trim, fit, given to designer suits, she hits the House gym by 6:30 for an hour-long tae kwon do workout (she's a black belt), fortified by the signature green drink she whips up, using spinach, celery, an apple, kale and dark lettuce.
"I am sure it is very healthful," deadpans the rangy Bean. "I just can't get past the look of it."
Maloney tries to be in bed by 10, which is often when the other two begin unwinding. "Nearly every night, Melissa and I pop popcorn and pour on massive amounts of butter," Wasserman Schultz says. "We sit on one of our beds and talk about our husbands, our kids, our staff, the complaints and the triumphs of the day."
"The pace is just so crazy," notes Bean, in nearly identical language. "We can talk about the kids, the House, the legislation, the politics, world affairs—whatever it might be—and some of what we deal with, unique circumstances we can all relate to that in a way some of our other good friends might not be able to." Sometimes Maloney does get up and join in. "It's especially important to me that these two other people can completely understand," Wasserman Schultz adds. "No one else gets it. As sympathetic and empathetic as others are, it's not like Melissa and Carolyn."
For nearly a year Maloney got up at two each morning to work for a few hours on Rumors of Our Progress Have Been Greatly Exaggerated, her 2008 book about how women are still getting shortchanged. Then she'd go back to sleep until six. "What I see as the best part of living with two women whom I adore and admire is having a sounding board on the real-life issues we confront," Maloney says. "Like all women in America, we are trying to juggle our public and our private lives, the difficulty of getting home for a child's doctor appointment or school play, the balance between work and family."
The pull between work and home rankles, says Bean, who was absent from Capitol Hill for a week in late 2009 because her husband and younger daughter came down with the flu. "Members of Congress almost never have dinner with their families. Sometimes we're in Washington Monday through Friday, sometimes Sunday through Thursday or Tuesday to Friday. Debbie and I would always go to the speaker [Nancy Pelosi] and say, 'If you're going to have only a four-day legislative week, convene the House on Tuesday and give us the Monday dinner with the kids.' Teens don't want to spend their Friday nights with us. The speaker gets that."
In December 2007, Wasserman Schultz learned just how critical a support group could be when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. But she kept the circle small; other than family members, she told only a few key aides and close friends. She maintained secrecy, she says, because she didn't want to be known as the congresswoman battling cancer.
"I just wanted to be known as the congresswoman," she says.
She detected the lump early, but when she learned that she carried the breast cancer gene sometimes found in women of Eastern European Jewish descent, Wasserman Schultz underwent seven surgeries over the next year, including a double mastectomy and removal of her ovaries to protect against future malignancies.
A tiny, energetic blonde with blue eyes, curly hair and a fondness for black high-top sneakers, she scheduled her operations in Washington-area hospitals during House recesses and never missed a vote. She didn't tell her children about the cancer until she got a clean bill of health in March 2009. She told them a few days before she went public with her story. "I wanted to be able to say, 'Mommy was sick but now she's fine.' " There was no chemo or radiation, but she will take Tamoxifen for the next few years.
Four months after telling her story, Wasserman Schultz broke her leg sliding into second base at a breast cancer charity softball game pitting congresswomen against young female House staffers. Her 10-year-old twin boy and girl, who were visiting, saw her carried off the field to an ambulance; an aide brought them to the hospital. Once again, she assured them Mommy was fine—and reminded everyone else she had been safe at second. The next morning, she hobbled into an 8:30 meeting on crutches and spent the next few weeks with her right leg in a hot-pink cast.
Melissa Bean was part of the circle that knew about the cancer diagnosis; Carolyn Maloney was not. "Melissa and I are just very close friends," Wasserman Schultz explains. "And what I especially learned from all the breast cancer survivors I've spoken to is, you do need a support network. She and I have talked about so many things. She was a tremendous help. All my treatment was here, and without having my husband around it was very important for me to have someone I could talk to."
Maloney didn't learn about Wasserman Schultz's cancer until her room-mate went public. "One time her mother came for the weekend, and it was very unusual. I later found out it was at the time when she had an operation," she says, adding that she has no problem with having been left out of this particular loop.
"With a trauma that personal, people are entitled to make decisions that work for them," she says.
Maloney's own personal tragedy struck on a Friday night in late September. While at a dinner in New York, she learned that Clifton, her husband of 31 years, had died on a Himalayan trek just hours after climbing the world's sixth-highest peak. The news became public the next day. "Melissa and Debbie were wonderful," she recalls. "They came to the funeral." Afterward, Maloney stayed in Manhattan for her first two weeks of mourning and "they were on the phone." Her two roommates continue to fuss over her, she says, because "we are friends, our husbands were friends. Our kids know each other. We're like a big extended family."
All three women insist that in more than five years together, the only real friction occurred during the 2008 presidential primaries. Maloney and Wasserman Schultz were fervent Hillary Clinton supporters; Bean was pro-Obama. "It was antagonistic," Bean admits. "There was some passion on both sides. It was definitely touchy. I was one of Barack's earliest supporters, and Debbie did a lot of press for Hillary. Deb would come home from a TV appearance and I'd say, 'You looked great, you sounded great and I didn't agree with anything you said . . . ' "
"We all understood; Melissa and Obama are from Illinois," Maloney says. When he got the nomination, the Clintonites quickly shifted candidates. "It was so much better when we were on the same side," Maloney adds.
If 2009 was the crucible year—Wasserman Schultz going public with her cancer and Maloney losing her husband— 2010 is the political challenge, since all three women are up for reelection. Midterm elections are typically when the sitting president's party suffers heavy Congressional losses, so they are all running hard and will spend more time in their districts, and therefore less time with each other.
"You don't really come here to make friends," Bean says of her legislative life. "You come here to get the job done.
"This was a bonus."

Web Extra: The Roommates Next Door
By Annie Groer
Next door to the Maloney household, Rep. Shelley Berkley (D-Nevada) shares her home with her office scheduler, Joanne Rider (whom she's known since junior high); Rep. Betty Sutton (D-Ohio), who rents the basement; and Rep. John Larson (D-Connecticut), whom she calls "the best roommate on the planet because he's gone before I get up, I'm asleep before he comes home and he's quiet as a mouse." But despite her joke, one wonders if Berkley doesn't long for a little more quality time with her housemates, or her block-mates. Both Maloney and Berkley, separately and unbidden, expressed delight over a spontaneous early-morning encounter most of us would take for granted.
"My door was open, I saw Carolyn, I said, 'Hi neighbor, come on in!' and we had a great conversation," Berkley recalls, grinning widely.
"There we were in our housecoats, sitting in her kitchen, drinking coffee," Maloney muses with her own wide smile. "It was like being in a small town and visiting with a girlfriend."
Some 4.5 miles west of the kaffeeklatsch, on Georgetown's Potomac riverfront, three longtime Chicago pals who are among the most influential members of the Obama inner circle have their own form of D.C. dorm life. Presidential counselor Valerie Jarrett, White House social secretary Desiree Rogers and the first lady's chief of staff, Susan Sher, rent separate condos in the same swank building.
"It's been tremendously helpful to have this support group when you come to a new city, particularly at my age, without my husband," Sher told the Chicago Tribune.

Is Last.FM's New Linux App A Hit?
Last.fm recently released a new version of their scrobbling app — including a native version for linux.
No longer is it a second class citizen with a nasty, sub-par interface, but rather a 'proper' desktop app — just as you would expect to find on OSX or Windows.
Built on WebKit, the app unsurprisingly runs very smoothly. When you click on the tabs in the sidebar, you'll glide between the panels, much like in Gwibber.
Your Scrobbles are displayed in a list, and clicking on one takes you to an overview of the track and its artist.
