Should the ACA re-join USA Cycling?
Submitted by 303admin on
Recently the American Cycling Association released the results of a recent survey, after a quick review of it all one answer that seemed to stand out was "Would you like to see the ACA forge a better relationship with USA Cycling". 70% said yes.
Do many remember why Colorado ever broke away from USA Cycling? A little history on BRAC tells a little but the answer to why is important because a lot has changed in the world since BRAC was formed in 1976.
This is a snippet on the ACA website on BRAC (link above)
B.R.A.C. has existed as a member District Association since 1976 and has always provided the local support named above, except for the insurance coverage. The organization has always been the source of information for the racing community in Colorado. The organization has had a successful ranking system for many years knows as: BAR/BAT, Best All-around Rider and Best All-around Team. This has been a long running competition to see how one stacks up with their fellow racers in the state. This ranking system attempts to cover all of the disciplines, but mainly focuses on the road racing side of the house.

Should the ACA re-join USA Cycling?
Submitted by 303admin on
[FYI, this did not come from the Admin, a mistake was made and this was reposted from a reader, apologies for the mistake]
Be careful with drawing conclusions - only 28% of the total respondents wanted to "rejoin", while another 42% want a better relationship. The 231 people who say they want to rejoin represent less than 8% of ACA members. Claiming that a "majority of racers" want to join USAC is misleading and far from what the survey tells us. Another way of looking at it: 72% of survey respondents do not want to rejoin, and 92% of ACA members either have no opinion (did not bother with the survey) or do not want to join.

So what would we gain by rejoining? All ACA members would pay $60/year for a road or cyclocross license, compared to $45 now. The few who are members of both would see a benefit in not having to pay the ACA membership fee.
But in reality, what does USAC offer the ordinary racer, which most of the 3000 ACA members are? I think most people just want an easy way to check their results within a day of the race, see what is happening with the best all-around rider competition, and find out about upcoming races. Try doing that with USAC - maybe it's me, but I have a heck of a time trying to find race results on their website. USAC seems to be geared toward the elite racer, not the ordinary local weekend racer.

I like the ACA
Submitted by Ryan H (not verified) on
I agree with Linda. All I want is to see the local race results soon after a race, check when new races are coming up, have a local forum, and the BAR/BAT thing is cool too. The USAC still doesn't have results posted from one of the Tour of the Gila stages and that is a big race! Communication with Yvonne is extremely efficient and fast too.

What would Colorado gain?
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
Joining USAC would NOT bring a NRC race. We did have one a few years ago in Parker. Went away due to Money $$$. Very expensive to host one. Does NOT have ANYTHING to do with ACA...
Results. Look at other states and see how they do with results. We pay $2 a rider per race to have results, website, state rep, BAR/BAT & BCR/BCT tabulations. Would still need that surcharge if went back to USAC.
License Cost - I would like to see ACA Bring in back down $5 or $10 instead of spending money on UNNEEDED website re-write. Waste of $40K!!! Yes, I love ACA but everything with the 2008 website was good.

Agreed. $40K for a website
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
Agreed. $40K for a website rewrite is a waste of money. Maybe I missed it (like I missed the ACA survey), but was there ever a survey of the ACA membership to find out whether we saw a need for a new, $40K website? Was there ever a survey or user study to find out what features we would like in a new $40K website? I know it's a work-in-progress, but, so far, all I've seen is that several useful features have disappeared (e.g. member lookup, "all categories" selection in results, etc). In general, I think the ACA has been doing a great job recently, but this $40K website rewrite is completely unnecessary, especially during a time when everyone should be pinching pennies. Is Obama running the ACA now? ;-)

A backoffice application, not a website
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
The part that is missing on the website was the rewrite was largely for ACA staff and race promotors. Without the rewrite many many hours of wasted human time went into day to day operations so think of this website rewrite more as a new back office application.

Sorry I missed the survey,

Sorry I missed the survey, but I wholeheartedly agree. ACA, PLEASE join a "real" sanctioning body as soon as possible, where things like licenses are sold online, or even at the races.

Why did ACA/BRAC ever break away in the first place?

That is important to understand... what are we fighting for anymore? USA Cycling has made a few 180 degree turns in their world, maybe our original problems are gone... just a thought.

survey comments
Submitted by Kate (not verified) on
I was surprised that the ACA published the comments for the survey--it seems that a lot of respondents commented thinking they'd be anonymous.
There sure were a lot of people who had harsh opinions on the worth of womens racing. Some of the comments were obviously tongue-in-cheek (at least I hope), but others were outrageous in their ignorance. Are there really that many ACA members who are not in favor of growing womens racing? I know this issue is not new; I was just astonished to see so many people say that no more--or even less--should be done to get more women riding bikes.
Even though some of the ACA survey's comments reminded me of reading the Daily Camera's, there were some good ideas hidden in all the crap and contention. Growing female and junior participation through cyclocross, for instance, was a suggestion that came up a few times. Other bodies like OBRA have been able to tremendously improve the size of their womens fields in all disciplines through cyclocross, which has a lower barrier to entry than road racing. Hopefully the ACA will be able to implement some of the insightful suggestions from the survey.

The real reason BRAC left
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
The real reason BRAC left the USCF? You won't like what I have to say...but here it goes.
In late 1998 the USCF stopped the District Representative program. In its place they went to a paid staff in the field with people who would cover several states.
That meant only one thing! Beth lost her control over CO racing...and Yvonne.
And, at the same time, liability insurance became available after over a decade of not being available. The two were put together and Beth had her empire back again.
I was there then and most of you weren't.

Arrival Experience: The iconic Westin San Diego hotel is one of the crowning jewels of the downtown skyline that marks the arriving scenery for those seated on the left-hand side of all San Diego arriving planes. It blends together office and hotel buildings into one (evidenced from the glass elevators as they climb along the building), and the recent renovation is evident. Westin's refreshing energy is evident throughout the public areas, and it begins with the signature scent that permeates the lobby. Staffers man individualized pods meant to handle reception formalities at a more personalized level. What most travelers will be surprised to learn is that this downtown property offers free airport shuttle service. Yes, the airport is quite close to downtown, but this business-friendly amenity is a life saver for those on a corporate budget. Just a few blocks away is the entire downtown business district, Gaslamp Quarter, convention center, and waterfront.
Dining: Coast serves tasty meals beginning with breakfast, which is a formal affair stemming from a massive buffet offering everything from fresh fruit to hearty oatmeal and made-to-order omelets. Westin is known for its Smart Food breakfasts, which here includes master chef-composed smoothies and California-grown organic fruits. Servers circle the dining room offering the option for buffet service or a la carte options, and the friendliness never wanes. To top it off, the food and beverage manager is often seen in the dining room (no matter what time of day) checking on guests and thanking repeat visitors for their business. While lunch and dinner may not be as busy, it is nonetheless tasty and worthy of a look.. Many locals with business in the neighborhood often make this their preferred lunch spot. A similar menu is offered in the lobby lounge where diners can sip local wines and enjoy an abbreviated menu served from the same kitchen. A deli and coffee shop offer to-go snacks and drinks.
Accommodations: The hotel recently underwent a top-to-bottom renovation that involved everything from bedding and soft goods to furnishings. What resulted is a pleasant, Californian look that is apparent throughout all rooms. Natural colors are evident in the whites and Earth tones chosen for the décor, and large windows survey either the downtown skyline or the marina (all of which are part of the hotel's excellent location). Heavenly Beds are still in place with pillowtop mattresses and thick duvets. All rooms also feature the beloved white tea-scented toiletries and waffle towel robes in bathrooms. Suites add slippers and whirlpool tubs. The Presidential Suite, which crowns the building on its own floor, features dual bedrooms that are connected by an uber-modern living area with grand piano and own kitchen area. Renovations here have made this San Diego's a contemporary, hip business hotel, and the environmentally friendly aspect of the operation adds to the appeal for modern-day travelers.
Conclusion: A skyline swimming pool provides stunning city views although it is not meant for Olympic pursuits. Still, the pool deck is a popular place to gather and survey the surrounding cityscape. The air conditioned fitness area features the latest cardio and weight lifting equipment plus chilled towels and water to tide users over between sets. Meeting space is ample here often accommodating some of the city's largest events. Many conference attendees are quick to mention their positive experience, which almost always includes a staffer asking if they need anything or how they can make their visit even better. And, it is that attitude of constant improvement that is visible within each employee at every turn. You cannot leave the Westin without feeling better about yourself, and there is no better calling card for a business hotel than a happy staff. Happy employees equal happy guests, and that statement is multiplied at this downtown gem.
Charlotte-area travelers can fly nonstop to San Diego on US Airways (part of the new American Airlines).

Blue Hill at Stone Barns Restaurant Review: Blue Hill at Stone Barns strikes a fine balance between traditional charm and modern amenities, an archetype. A working farm, education center, and bar and restaurant, it is truly unique. Blue Hill has the pedigree, located within Stone Barns Center for Food & Agriculture, once part of the Rockefeller estate. It has the concept; much of the food served in the restaurant comes straight from the grounds, as well as other local farms. And it has the working, experimental culinary activist in Dan Barber. The result is impossibly fresh tasting fare with little complication. Don't expect to be handed a traditional menu. Rather, guests are served a multi-course tasting: the Grazing, Pecking, Rooting menu ($238 per guest, exclusive of beverage, tax and gratuity). Dishes are devised daily according to the harvest. Diners at different tables on any given evening are advised of the menu according to the day's yields. Therefore, supplies of any ingredient can be limited. But one thing is guaranteed. Whatever comes out of the kitchen will be prepared meticulously and with invention. In addition to the main dining room, there's a private dining room overlooking the herb garden. The wine list pays homage to the products of the Hudson Valley, the Old World and the New World. Sure, this place has presence, commanding beauty and fantastic cuisine, but what lingers is Barber's enthusiasm for reaching beyond "farm to table," and broadening its impact.

Music of 17th century Italy and Spain
Julia Fredersdorff, baroque violin; Laura Vaughan, viola da gamba & !irone; Donald Nicolson, harpsichord & organ
Works by Ortiz; Piccinini; Salaverde; Fontana; Marini; Merulo; Caccini; Caroso; Frescobaldi; Palestrina; Castello; Kapsberger
If the first track on a CD sets the mood for what follows, then composer Diego Ortiz gives ensemble Latitude37 a means to demonstrate that their take on baroque and early music is not latter-day bright and bubbly. The mood of his Passamezzo antico instead sounds dour and thoughtful. It may actually be neither of those things, but it does suggest a composer focussed on inner preoccupations more than one who enjoys dancing. Overall, the effect of this CD is that it contains a single long work rather than 15 short ones, and you may even play at guessing what the next track will sound like as each one finishes. Despite the attention given to early music today, this trio of early instrumentalists has found itself a set of its own from material left by mostly lesser known composers, with little if any duplication across the work being done by other groups. There is enough for all three members to have the opportunity to make a difference to what you hear, and when the sound is not enough they bring in various guest artists to fill it out. That explains the soprano, who appears a couple of times in the middle. Latitude37 take their name from the world of geography rather than the scope of their musical interest, and with this CD they clear a space in the early music marketplace with a performance of delicate sensitivity. Plenty of reasons to respect what they have come up with here.

It may seem hard to believe, but three years ago the state and county Republican Party was in even more disarray that it was a year ago after being swept in state races and every consultant-propped GOP candidate being brought back down to earth as the state Democrats and left-leaning independents showed California that being moderate or financially-backed was no longer the way to win their support. The era of the Schwarzenneger-Republican was about to come to an end, though most did not take the lesson of McCain's loss until the emergence of the Tea Party movement forced such an examination.
Back in Los Angeles County, incumbent RPLAC Chairman Linda Boyd had recruited a new slate for her executive board consisting of political connections and those that could raise funds from the inner circles. What neither she nor the other political consultants forecasted was the sweeping growth of discontent among the newer central committee members; this gave way to a political coup at the December 2008 Organizational meeting when Glen Forsch was elected to replace Boyd. Despite the attempts to remove members in order to remove quorum, the vote stood, and the Boyd slate made a conscious decision to remove their names from the board ballot. This brought in a slate of unchallenged, inexperienced executive board members, including perennial candidate Lydia Gutierrez and Ron Paul County leader Robert Vaughn. There were some who looked at this as an opportunity to see more transparency & accountability, and others, including myself, respected the democratic process enough to give them the opportunity to either succeed or fail.
When you're a conservative living in a deep-blue county like Los Angeles, you're used to losing elections and having to work with who's in office in order to help one's community. So for 5 months Republican County Central Committee members gave the Forsch board the chance to make some things happen and show us what they can do. Instead, the county budget was run deeper into debt, local elections in March 2009 were totally ignored, and the board was literally forced to hold a special executive committee election to consider the county committee's position on the tax-raising Propositions 1A-1E. Despite an overwhelming vote by the executive committee members to oppose the propositions, RPLAC Chairman Forsch still went to Sacramento to vote FOR the propositions at the state executive committee meeting.
A change was desperately needed! The elections for 2010 were looming, and less than three months prior the country began experiencing tea party groups popping up everywhere. The energy of the Tea Party movement was telling Chairman Forsch that he needed to get the county party more active or get run over!
Enter Jane Barnett – one of those that former Chairman Boyd had recruited to run for her slate previously. Working with a covert team of GOP activists and Roberts Rules experts, Barnett led a counter-coup at the May 14th, 2009 meeting and instantly began an aggressive plan to bring back the party from the brink of bankruptcy and irrelevance. She held multiple fundraisers and donated hundreds of hours & dollars; she got local assembly district chairs to vigorously seek out local and state candidates for count y elections, and then backed them with whatever support the local GOP could afford. She was able to get most county candidates to not only support the GOP platform, but to help each other where possible. Barnett made sure the state party did not merely visit Los Angeles County to solicit donations from its more affluent areas; for the first time in nearly a decade, L.A. County had state and federal races make the state target lists (though the state had literally no money to provide), and Barnett logged thousands of miles between the Valley, the Inland Empire and the South Bay attending club events and candidate functions.
Despite all this, new RPLAC Chairman Jane Barnett was forced by former Second Vice Chair Robert Vaughn and a few holdouts to go through a time-wasting and funds-depleting law suit. He hired an out-of-state parliamentarian to provide a report supporting his position, and send numerous messages to the full membership of the County Central Committee asserting his claim to the RPLAC Chair based on assumed "resignations" by Forsch and Gutierrez and on the assumption that the events that transpired following these resignations were per se illegal.
I will not has out the details again here; the message I want to deliver here is through all that, Jane Barnett never wavered in her support for local and state candidates, and always found time to talk about key issues both internal to the Party and out in the mainstream media. When the nastiness from the lawsuit supporters, as well as the looming county Democratic Party, reached higher proportions, Chairman Barnett showed all of us what true leadership was by rising above it and carrying on in the best interests of the county party.
Having stepped down this month to attend to personal matters that were long made secondary to her dedication to the county party, Chairman Barnett has earned both unconditional support and a complete break from county politics. Her leadership and mentorship have given our members a foundation that can and will be built on when the county party holds a special election at its January 12th full county meeting to elect new board officers. New RPLAC Chairman Lynn Haueter has been a beneficiary of Barnett's guidance, and will be wise to keep her cell phone number handy. With every position except Treasurer likely vacant for the special election, the future of RPLAC, including its performance in the 2012 election cycle, will be a referendum on how well its new leadership has paid attention to lessons learned these past three years.
For stepping in when our county party was in one of its darkest hours and most needed a source of bright light, Jane Barnett gave our party both the luminescence of such light as well as the warmth and comfort that a true leader provides.
When the conservative wave finally builds up enough momentum to either cross the Rockies or generate its own within what holds the fertile land still known as Reagan Country, we will have Jane Barnett to thank for ensuring we were prepared to welcome that wave and do what Southern Californians do best…right great waves to victory.
Thank you Madam Chairman! We know you will continue to succeed in all you do.

COPLEY — Wadsworth center Kyle Prunty was the best player on the court Tuesday, but Cuyahoga Falls was the better boys basketball team.
The Black Tigers scored eight of the final 11 points in overtime, including a go-ahead 3-pointer by Angelo Cugini, in rallying for a 48-42 victory over the Grizzlies in an opening-round matchup at the Copley Division I Sectional.
Prunty collected game highs of 24 points, 11 rebounds, three assists and three blocked shots for No. 11 seed Wadsworth (12-11), but it wasn't enough to stop the well-balanced attack of eighth-seeded Cuyahoga Falls (14-9).
"They're a very good team and they presented a different look for us with all of their trapping," said Prunty, a 6-foot-5 junior. "It was hard for us to get into our offense in the second half because they kept throwing so many things out there, which kept us off-balance.
"This game is going to hurt for a while, but I'm proud of our team because we definitely proved a lot of people wrong with the good season we had."
Backup shooting guard Matt Lawrence led the Black Tigers with a season-high 16 points, while point guard Devin Speicher had eight points, five boards and three assists. Coach Rob Slone's squad trailed 25-15 early in the third quarter, but outscored the Grizzlies 33-17 the rest of the way.
All five Cuyahoga Falls starters scored between five and eight points, while the Wadsworth starters not named Prunty combined for eight points on 4-for-24 shooting.
The Grizzlies also missed their first 14 3-pointers before Tucker Robinson buried a meaningless trey at the end of OT. Wadsworth entered the evening shooting 35 percent beyond the arc this season.
"I would take those shots we got any day because we had pretty good looks on all of them," Grizzlies coach Mike Schmeltzer Jr. said. "They just didn't fall.
"There's not much of an explanation for it, except you never know how you're going to shoot in the first round of the tournament because it's a very different environment."
Prunty made 9-of-16 field goals and 6-of-8 free throws while playing 34 of the game's 36 minutes. He scored all six of Wadsworth's points in the fourth quarter, which came as part of a 13-minute span that saw no other Grizzlies player put the ball through the basket.
Along the way, Prunty also kept Black Tigers counterpart Cugini (5 points, 4 rebounds) — a much more hyped talent around Greater Akron — from doing anything in the paint.
"Kyle is a great kid who plays his butt off," Schmeltzer said. "He's also a great teammate and a cornerstone player who you can build around. With Kyle and (sophomore swingman) Austin White coming back, we're already excited about next season."
Forward Anthony Palecek and point guard Robinson each scored five points off the bench for Wadsworth, while shooting guard Barry Fernholz added four. White had a season-low two points, six rebounds and two assists before fouling out.
Cuyahoga Falls was limited to 33 points in regulation and did not attempt its first free throw until Speicher drew a shooting foul with 4:40 left in the fourth. It entered OT just 2-for-5 at the line thanks to the Grizzlies' rock-solid half-court pressure.
"This was our best defensive effort of the year," Schmeltzer said. "The guys never stopped fighting and played through a lot of stretches when our shots just weren't falling.
"That's what I'll take from tonight more than anything else — the heart and determination that our guys showed from start to finish."

Dear Readers and Viewers of TSS and the Boxing Channel:
Over the last few months, degenerate boxing addict--in a good way!--Lee Wylie has been learning and working toward mastering The Wylie Method of dissecting fight video, in order to best convey what the sports' most skilled ring generals are doing technically in the ring to bring them to the finishing line with the W.
Wylie, moving forward, will be gracing us with these videos, crafted with his now trademark obsessiveness--in a good way!--and expertise.
Please enjoy this effort, which helps convey what a majestic ring technician the original Sugar Ray was.
---Editor Mike
OMG! TSS Scribe L-Wy has the "Eyes of The Eagle." He is seeing, not just looking. With straight-up legit KNOWLEDGE, every reader with a brain and without biases, he be hooking. And that says it ALL. For more of this grandmaster pugilist masterpieces I CALL!
Dude is no doubt like the game -- "The theatre of the unexpected."
Nobody expected that above grand masterpiece. And if you say you did, you're lying.
Again, GREAT, GREAT forensic super work, Pugilistic Grandmaster Forensic Scribe L-Wy. You DA MAN! You got my SALUTE! Holla!
Brilliant analysis Lee Wylie,very enjoyable.
Matter of fact, a Thousand and One hand SALUTES to you and a thousand-gun salutes. D@mn! You SHOOK UP da Universe! WOW! I'm so impressed with that grand masterpiece of yours. And I cannot watch and say it enough. Holla!
beautiful analysis ...gleaning out the sweetest of Sugar
What a magnificent left hook! I thought of Jones-Griffin 2 when I saw that, albeit this one had more economy of effort (but was equally devastating).
Greata video by the way!
Totally awesome. Sugar and the Sweet Science. It doesn't get better than that.
Mr. Wylie is BACK! I've missed these breakdowns. They made the site one of the best out there and elevated it from the usual Floyd vs. Pac debate sites. That left hook against Fullmer was sure thrown with a lot of finesse. It's not a power hook at all.
Excellent work Lee Wylie, great breakdown of one of the greatest!
Impressive analysis of one of my favorite all time fighters.
Who will win the Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward fight?

Emotion. Senses. Feeling. In a world of black and white, there sure is a lot of gray. Color has its place, as it is what we already see. We can each look at the same thing and see something different. What we see is what we see but how do we define what we see? Color can define. Red can be anger, it can be love, passion, or blood defining mortality. That which is normally in color can be dismissed or defined as unimportant, bland, and just becomes background scenery to our day-to-day lives. Take the color away for a moment and see something afresh. Gray brings out the color.

Have a brand new nano added to my collection. Am looking for a shoulder holster for tho Nano. Any suggestions?
Galco's rig is quite popular and pretty comfortable,the Miami Classic would be good for a small gun.I have the old SSII widestrap for fullsize guns and it's pretty nice.Alessi's rig is also decent but there's another custom maker that makes an even nicer rig that most say is the best made.The name escapes me now but when it comes to me I'll update this.Mernickle pops in my head but it isn't right.This rig will run you $200+,where the Galco (or Jackass) goes about 160.
Not Mernickle.I believe it was Del Fatti,but his gun choices are limited and yours isn't one.Mitch Rosen makes really good stuff but I don't know about his shoulder rig.Galco and Alessi are probably your best bets if you don't go the el cheapo route like Uncle Mikes.
Make sure to practice carefully, because shoulder rigs are generally dangerous to people standing behind you.
If you draw less-than-carefully, they are dangerous to yourself, as well.
BTW: Shoulder rigs are among the slowest into action.

Hope Solo may be the most well-known female football player in America. This has as much to do with her looks as it does with her impressive prowess on the field. The two-time Olympic gold medalist currently plays for Seattle Reign FC and may be most admired by non-football fans for her appearance in ESPN's infamous Body Issue.

I appreciate my athletic look.

Gabriel Aubry Drops Restraining Order Against Olivier Martinez
Gabriel Aubry has dropped his restraining order against Olivier Martinez, just a week after their brawl at Halle Berry's house.
The two men got into a violent altercation on Thanksgiving after Aubry dropped off his and Berry's daughter Nahla.
Aubry's face was badly beaten during the incident, and he subsequently received the restraining order against Martinez.
But one day after resolving his years-long custody battle with Berry, Aubry decided he no longer needs court-mandated protection from Martinez.
Aubry's attorney, Shawn Holley, went to court on Friday and informed the judge that Aubry wanted to drop the restraining order, according to TMZ.
Hopefully, Berry and the two men have a peaceful holiday season.

Published: Thursday, November 15, 2012 at 10:02 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, November 15, 2012 at 10:02 a.m.
KISSIMMEE, Fla. (AP) — Two high teachers have been arrested in central Florida after a 12-year-old boy said he was burned by a cigarette lighter while in their care.
Orlando television station WFTV reported the child's mother called authorities Tuesday after she noticed the burn marks on his mouth and nose. She told police the boy was staying with Thomas and Bianca Vacek.
According to Osceola County Sheriff's deputies, the child said Bianca Vacek burned him with a lighter while she was drunk. Both resisted arrested when deputies tried to take them into custody.
WFTV reports the Vaceks are teachers at Poinciana High School. She faces aggravated child abuse and other charges. He's charged with failing to report the abuse.

Joanne, see note above about Costco; that's where I first saw them. I'm intrigued by the idea of hummus with black garbanzos.

Janet, thanks for chiming in.

Lucy, I think olive oil is a matter of personal taste. I go to a store in Salt Lake that let's you sample the oil oils (they have a "tasting bar" for olive oil and vinegar, love it.)

Pimentel to proclaim African-American History Month just two weeks after being put "on blast" by committee
During the January 18 Woodland City Council meeting, Pamela Bird-Dunn expressed her disappointment in city councilman Art Pimentel on behalf of the Woodland community's African-American Steering Committee. Bird-Dunn said that Pimentel has not come through on some promises in his role as mayor. Ironically, city staff has recommended that the city council adopt a proclamation recognizing African-American History Month during this Tuesday's meeting (February 1).

United Miners Soccer Club "Rudar" welcomes you to our new website!
Please feel free to browse and learn about our history, restaurant, soccer team and upcoming events.
Our club was established in 1977 – primarily for soccer. The majority of our founders are from Labin, a small Istrian town, where mining was a major part of life. Even some of our founders worked in the mines before moving to the United States. For these two reasons we are named United Miners Soccer Club or, simply, Rudar (meaning coal miner).
As you see, through time, besides soccer and hunting, we have established a folklore group in which we have young singers who successfully contribute to our Croatian community in New York.
Our restaurant, which serves our Istrian and Dalmatian specialties is very popular amongst our Croatian immigration here in New York and surrounding areas. Our menu always brings you back "home". Our chefs Marijana Matteoni and Suzana Nemarić will prepare dishes just like Nona and Mama made. From home-made Fuži and Njoki, to grilled fresh fish and vegetables, prepared to taste.
Our friendly wait staff, Bego, Tina, and Emilio, will be happy to help you with your choice of food! Ines,our bartender, is ready with your choice of beverage!
If you haven't visited Rudar yet, what are you waiting for?

It's worth noting that the maintainer of record (me) for the Linux RNG quit the project about two years ago precisely because Linus decided to include a patch from Intel to allow their unauditable RdRand to bypass the entropy pool over my strenuous objections. From a quick skim of current sources, much of that has recently been rolled back (/dev/random, notably) but kernel-internal entropy users like sequence numbers and address-space randomization appear to still be exposed to raw RdRand output.

In many countries, the World Cup is a reason to for a country to come to a grinding halt. Productivity levels go down, people come late to work or leave early. Many members of a country's workforce look for reasons to " play hookie", especially when their country is playing. This is why Chile's labor minister, Javiera Blanco, is furiously looking for employers and workers to come to an agreement in order to make work days a bit more flexible during the days that Chile will play in the World Cup.
Blanco stated on Friday in a presentation alongside president Michele Bachelet where they announced the launching of a government-run website that will help Chileans that will be traveling to the World Cup in Brazil. Blanco stated that there were no regulations that made it mandatory to undergo these types of changes in the workforce. She is looking for there to be dialogue in a way that will end up supporting the national team in the short-term.
"(I hope) that employers can come to an agreement with their employees because we all know that a happy worker is a productive worker," said Blanco. She would be looking for any type of agreement that would help many workers be able to see the matches that are being played despite the kickoffs being during work hours.
Blanco and many others in the Chilean government also believe that giving employees that time to watch the World Cup matches would also "unite the country".
Chile will be based out of Toca da Raposa 2, Cruzeiro's training complex in Belo Horizonte and will begin their World Cup campaign against Australia at the Arena Pantanal in Cuiabá on June 13. On the 18th they will face Spain in Rio and then wrap up their group stage play when they face Netherlands, five days later in São Paulo.

Things have spiced up for the Oakland Raiders regarding the Coliseum in Oakland. The Oakland A's have announced that they plan to sign a 10-year lease at the stadium that they share with the Raiders.
As reported on Thursday, things could look bad for the Raiders as the A's plan to stay there for another 10 years. This would include the A's staying and possibly taking away the possibility of rebuilding a new stadium.
Raiders Owner Mark Davis has been wanting to have a stadium for his team and not share it with anyone. Davis was hoping that the city of Oakland might give him what he wanted, but, with the news of the A's staying longer at the Coliseum and taking away the chance to rebuild a new stadium at that location, Davis might hit the road with his football team.
Currently, the Raiders share the Coliseum with the A's, forcing the Raiders to play on a field with a baseball diamond of dirt in September, which is the end of regular baseball season. Sometimes, the Raiders have to play in the dirt longer, especially when the A's make MLB playoffs.
The news of the 10-year lease brings up the many problems for the Oakland Raiders. See, the Raiders have a one-year contract riding with the Coliseum. This complicates things in Oakland as not much has been planned or proposed for the Raiders.
This could mean that Mark Davis will finally have enough and take his team elsewhere. Many speculate that Los Angeles is the place, since LA has been wanting a team for many years. Plus, the Raiders have a huge fanbase in LA already.
The other option is Portland, OR. However, Portland might not have the football market that LA can provide. Portland has plenty of room for a stadium, but will it bring the fanbase and the money that LA could?
Anyway, the Oakland Raiders will have another issue to think about this season besides rebuilding a team. Hopefully, things will work out for the Silver and Black. Hopefully, the Raiders will remain in their city, which is Oakland. If not, Los Angeles would be more than happy to have them back.

Business Credit Partners can help you acquire additional working capital.
Has challenged or overused personal credit limited your access to business capital? There are programs that offer unsecured business credit using a credit partner. You can look at this opportunity on our unsecured business financing page. Do you have friends and family who want to help but don't have any cash? Consider the possibility of someone becoming your business credit partner, also called a guarantor. This is someone who believes in your business and has "Good Credit."
Just a note: A business guarantor is different from a co-signer. The credit received in this specific situation reports to the business and not the guarantor's personal credit. In a co-signer situation, the credit received will also show on the co-signer's personal credit.
So, what is 'Good Credit?" The closer your guarantor is to these key criteria, the more likely your business is to secure $100K or more in lines of credit:
- FICO credit scores of 720+
- Cash credit cards (MC/VISA/Discover/Amex) with at least $5K-$20K or higher
- Revolving credit usage below 30%
- Limit the number of credit cards with balances- less than ½ is best (this includes store cards)
- The longer the credit history the better (10+ years)
- No recent credit issues – no late payments showing in past 2+ years (never is even better)
- No open collections, no public records- tax liens, etc.
- No bankruptcies
- No short sales, modifications, or debt consolidation
- Mortgages and auto loans at least 2 years old (best if have at least one of these in past 5 years)
- Limited credit inquiries (no more than 2 per agency in the past 12 months)
- No open disputes on credit issues
Again, this describes the ideal candidate to obtain $100,000 or more. Many people don't have perfect credit profiles. The good news is that they could qualify for a lower amount up to $100,000. Keep in mind that multiple guarantors can be used to achieve higher lines of credit. Your potential credit partners can check their credit at www.annualcreditreport.com (available every 12 months for free).

Fans of Diana Gabaldan's Outlander series have been waiting for a long time for Claire and Jaime to come to the small screen, but the wait is finally over. The time travel/historical/romance/adventure series premieres Saturday, August 9th.
Starz has been allowing everyone a peak at the series and you can watch the episode on Starz.com now, even if you do not subscribe to the channel. Outlander stars Caitriona Balfe as Claire Randall, who bursts on screen as a weary, but in charge World War II army nurse. Claire is married to Frank (Toby Menzies), a history professor. They are on a second honeymoon of sorts when Claire is whisked back to the 1700s where she is attacked and nearly raped by Frank's ancestor (also played by Menzies). Claire is rescued by a passing Scotsman.
If you read that and now assume this is yet another show about a woman protagonist who is a Mary Sue character who needs constant saving, not so much. In fact, Claire instantly helps herself by ordering the men around when she realizes they are trying to set a young man's shoulder wrong. She stops them, and sets it herself.
Claire refuses to be a shrinking violet, and she curses quite a bit more than these 18th century men are used to hearing from the fairer sex. She is also older than that young man, Jaime Fraser (Sam Heughan). This is not your typical drama. Since Starz is being sneaky and hoping to hook audiences with the sneak peak, if you like a strong female lead, and romance, and time travel, and adventure story, give it a shot. It is a visually stunning show. There is one little thing. There are a lot of voice overs. This is Claire's story, and there is not much mystery as to what is going on in her head. She shares, perhaps even overshares.
You can watch the first episode here.

Blue Solia HairdryerI would recommend this Solia dryer to everyone. I have really fine hair and it useally doesnt hold body for more then half a day. My hair stayed full all day. It is also a great buy.Dec 9, 2006Kelly

Solia BlowerThis blower is definitely worth every penny. I have really thick long hair (its naturally wavy), and when I use this blower, my hair is straight, smooth, and shiny! I hardly have to use my straightner anymore because this blower does most of the work! I would recommend this to anyone that spends any amount of time during the week to dry their hair...it cuts down on time and it makes your hair look great!Dec 9, 2006Kelly

Buy ItI really love this Solia hair dryer. I have very curly and frizzy hair, and this hair dryer gets rid of the frizz while retaining a lot of body. It does dry hair much faster. My aunt thought I was crazy paying this much for a dryer, but it was absolutely worth every penny.Dec 9, 2006Kelly

Solia Ionic DryerI have used this dryer now for three weeks and am more pleased than I ever thought possible. I have really long thick hair that is wavy. It has just enough wave in it to go frizzy on me when I blow dry my hair. The Solia has reduced my drying time down to 7 minutes...WHICH IS AMAZING! The frizz, even on the most humid days here in the Keys has also been tamed. At first I couldnt believe that I spent that much money on a dryer and now feel that it was one of the best pourchases I have made in years.Nov 20, 2006Kelly

Solia Ionic DryerFor starters I should have bought this Solia dryer here. Its much less expensive here than I can buy it at a salon. This is the best dryer I have ever used! I just threw out my other dryers since they couldnt compare (Conair and Chi)and I am in love! I have thick hair and this dryer does the job efficiently and beautifully. My hair looks salon quality when finished. Its quiet, and the frizzies are gone. The air flow is really good. The reviews I have seen about the quality of Solia products are all good so I am sure it will hold up over time. Stay tuned!Nov 18, 2006Kelly

Solia HairdryerI really recommend this dryer if you want to have the benefits of an ionic dryer (shinier,softer hair) without the big big price tag. I was really worried about wasting my money so this dryer seemed to be a good choice because of the price. I am so glad I bought it. The first day I got it I was just so excited that I actually blew cold air on my dry hair. As strange as it may sound, my frizzies instantly started calming down. I had even better results when I used it after I washed my hair. The drying time really is fast. Normally takes me 25 minutes or more to dry my hair which is very thick and wavy. It took me only 14 minutes with the Solia on the WARM setting (not hot), and my hair was so much more softer and shiny. Instead of having a big ball of poofy hair I got much better results with 14 minutes of blow drying than I did with 25 mins of blow drying and then another 15 minutes of flat ironing. I did notice it s easy to hit the cold shot button while your drying, but if you move your hand slightly down you wont have that problem. But since I get such good results I dont mind (and it costs less). Im really pleased with this product.Nov 18, 2006Kelly

TC TO JANE WELSH CARLYLE ; 26 August 1838; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18380826-TC-JWC-01; CL 10: 151-156
Kirkcaldy, 26th August (Sunday), 1838—
My own Jeannie,
Elizabeth has got me a frank for tomorrow; and as our post sets off early in the day, I must write you a word this afternoon; another word can, if need is, be added in the morning. I have indeed nothing at all to say; but you will thank me for saying even nothing in black on white. So here goes.
From the mere date you will infer that things go moderately right with me, since I still continue here. In fact my day of departure and all future movements are as unfixed as ever. I have written to John Gordon requesting to be apprised by return of post whether he could lodge me for a night in Edinr: but now as after two posts there comes no answer from John, I infer that he is out of Town, and all is still at sea with me there. As the shortest method of arrangement, I determine to go across the water (the day after tomorrow with John Fergus), and see with my own eyes who is there, who not: we shall return again that same day, but shall have decided most probably what day I am to leave this for good and all; at lowest I calculate on seeing Sam Aitken1 or at the very lowest Sam Aitken's shop. My chief message to you therefore is an announcement now how you may write to me; by directing namely to the care of Sam. Take a sheet, my good Duckie, the instant you get this read, and send me your news, with or without frank; directed "Care of &c Bank Street Edinr"; I will tell Sam or Sam's people to keep it for me or what to do with it; I shall then know something definite, of Chelsea at least, a thing I am growing anxious to do. From no other quarter is it so much as possible that I should get news. I have written to Alick, written to my Mother at Manchester; but neither of them have a fixed mark of my whereabouts; my Mother is directed to write to you that I may hear. You will get this on Wednesday; suppose you do not write till Thursday I shall still get it on Saturday,—ah me! almost a week yet; but it is the soonest possible. I got your Examiner, about an hour after my Note went off; I got also your Globe, and noticed the extract from the Article Scott in it: perhaps Editor Wilson2 sent it you on that ground? My Goody's two strokes were better than any conceivable extract. I have also sent you a Newspaper once, and intend that in defect of letters you shall not want for that sort of service.— How rapidly my "nothing in black on white" is going on! Let me try at least to give you some glimpse of our manner of existence here.
Our party you already know; Elizabeth you know, and probably Miss Jessie, a most jocose, blithe-smiling, good-doing blonde-insipid young lady of a certain age, wearisome a little, yet easy to live with, and whom it is a shame to speak otherwise than admiringly of. John Fergus, our landlord, is a man-mountain for size, "most athletic and best-natured of men"; very conversible, rational, and well-conditioned every way; an active extensive farmer and manufacturer, who does much business daily, and daily takes a fair swill of the good things of life along with him; a man whom I like rather better, as I know him rather better. Healthy limitation, that is the rule of things here; dashed pretty considerably with the virtuous-insipid: all right and well. My bedroom is the back bedroom; I should have had the best had you been with me, and a bell in it! None of the rest seem to have bells; a grave defect, which I have learned to get over now. I awake generally above an hour too early, but put off the time in some tolerable way; this morning, for example, at half past seven, I sallied out in blustering wind, and plunged myself into the sea, an adventurous but rather successful step, which perhaps when there is not rain I shall repeat. Shaving and deliberate dressing carries one on to nine o'clock, when some kind of thing (a gong I think) gives a huge low growl somewhere in the lower premises and indicates that breakfast is on the table. A most plenteous breakfast, in the many good things of which, except tea and coffee (with some eminent ham, overdone in frying), I must hesitate to partake. Slowly with some loose conversation we breakfast, a certain old Surgeon one Johnston3 (the Edinr Bailie's brother)4 stalks in daily, with hardly any speech at all, to look at the newspaper, and stalks out again: they say he has done it daily these fifteen years! Our breakfast done, the ladies leave us for the drawing room: and after a due space; we remaining two do also withdraw, John to his counting house or to his farms till five in the afternoon, I to my own premises or to the drawing room, or whither I list. Hitherto almost every morning there has been a hurried letter to write, for the South Post leaves at twelve; London letters not arriving (which is unlucky) till after one. After one, however, the post has arrived too, and the Newspaper; after which there is clearly nothing to be looked for from the world; you are then clearly "left to your own intrepidity and force of purpose." Our dames, I suppose, go out charity-ing,5 fowl-feeding, marketing; as for me I smoke, I have books, I have the sea and the highways. These two last especially: I have bathed hitherto every day (except yesterday when John had me out riding far and wide among his farms); I have also ridden two hours or more every day,—putting on bad clothes if it rain; in bright days, with the fresh woods, clear hilltops, with the blue everlasting deep and the Bass6 and Lothian ever and anon in sight, and a swift beast to carry you, it is as pleasant riding as could be contrived. The people here are nearly all grown utter strangers to me; but yonder is the old Bass Rock, yonder is my poor Jeannie's birthland, and twenty years of fateful time are written on them for me. O my dear bairn, if I had thee here, I feel as if I should be quite happy for a while. We are to come next year when the great house is done building:7 we actually will, I think; shall we not? It is a tolerably good sign of me, when I long to have loved ones near me, especially sharptempered wives; accordingly I do incline to say that I have made considerable improvement this week, tho' the hours do not suit me altogether. But to proceed: the gong growls again at half past five, and luncheoned, or unluncheoned as I, but all in full dress of solemn black with what of silk is fit, we solemnly descend to dinner. There is free allowance of good things amany; of good wines among others, in which latter I think I shall cease or nearly so to partake: two glasses, one glass, four glasses, a glass of whisky punch, all seem to do me mischief alike. A walk ensues, executed by John and me about the doors, I smoking as I walk; then, near eight I suppose, is found limited supply of excellent tea, and talk in which I have to do more than I want, till on the stroke of ten enter garçon again with a tray of bottles, with two biscuits, and the promise (now fulfilled) to me of a plate of tolerable porridge. Ill-arranged, you see! Two hours or three farther from dinner, it were all right. At half-past ten, "candles" are ordered, but not brought to us; they are stuck in our rooms, fine wax lights, and we are all sent marching thither at that very early hour. Indeed a certain solemnity is throughout visible here; a great dressing and washing; manifold creatures carrying off your clothes to ever new brushings, &c, &c: but all is right at bottom, and you do find yourself served, and that a hospitable spirit, better every way than common, encircles you. We seem to have in the regular way no visitors. There is a Miss Drysdale, a queer broad ancient maid, farmeress who "makes draining-tiles"; she runs out and in at present; but she is an old friend, on visit in the neighbourhood.8 We had Ferguson of Raith9 one day; a fine plain old Scotch gentleman, of much more simplicity than I had imagined. We had an Italian teacher from Dunfermline Angioloni (if that is his name)10 invited for two days to see me; an argumentative, roughvoiced Dunfermline edition of Prandi,11—whom I was rather glad to take leave of. We had Peter Swan,12 one day; I have never yet called at their house; and my conscience says, "sinner that I am!" I will go tomorrow if possible. In short you know enough about our ways here; my very hand is sore splashing down vocables in this manner: besides, who could spell with sic [such] a pen? I will out to ride; it is now three o'clock, and I sat out the dullest lecture in a hot Kirk,—not to be repeated! I give thee a Kiss for this day, and say, God bless thee, thou sharptempered Goody. I will add a word tomorrow. Thine, dear Jean, ever and ever!— T.C.
Monday morning.— Dear Wifie, one word more before we go this morning. I have been awake since six (yet dozing again, and not bathing); in spite of the hours &c, I feel decidedly in an improved and improving way. We are to be off to Leslie Village,13 John and I, at eleven o'clock, that is in half an hour. Brief therefore!— Yesterday afternoon we had the Surgeon, one Philp to dinner, a simple scrub-headed, pacific man.14 My foot had grown decidedly and altogether unaccountably lame: Philp suggested that probably I had been bit in bathing by a medusa or sea-nettle; I think it is so, for today it feels greatly mended, and I halt no more. This morning Jardine15 the Edinr Engineer stept in to breakfast: a hard sarcastic old fellow, with a large white broadbrimmed hat; perfect in his Annandale dialect to a degree that leaves even me behind: we did very well he and I. On Wednesday they say Mrs James Stewart16 and perhaps Mr James (American Stewart)17 are coming; which shall be well. I went to tea with Mrs Swan18 last night, having in despair sent a Note that I would do it and got her sanction: she was in deep widow-weeds, very lugubrious; but the two lads19 and I helped the matter out. I suppose I must go back and dine some day. Happily Mrs Martin20 is at present in London. The sculduddery process still goes on; men think the minister is innocent, but that the wife is doubly and trebly guilty.21 Ach Gott! But whither do I run?— Some days ago I went along to the Port Brae with Ellen's22 letter, Miss Fergus conducting me. We saw Ellen's sister, and spoke a while with her: a very active, discreet, sonsy [cheerful] little woman, who seemed right glad to see us, and hear the news we brought. She was well and her husband, and indeed all Ellen's kindred; her two brothers here (I think she said) even now. The husband's business, like all business, has been "slack" for some months, but they seemed to be in good heart; his shop, in which we sat while there, was respectably filled with mahogany cabinet-work &c, and had a prosperous enough air.23 They promised to write, but accused Ellen of being negligent herself. This is all: every one well, and affectionate to the absent. I did not promise to call again, but could do it if your Bank Street Letter had an order to that effect.
Eleven o'clock is surely just at hand; here too is Elizabeth with a Note in her hand, which she has left. My end is come for the present. Write dear Goody, as I bid thee. Forget my biliary temper, remember only the poor heart that does mean truly by thee. And be good to me thou dear Goody! Also take care of all damps and etceteras, that I do not find thee coughing on my return. Love to John Sterling by name, to others in lump. Ever affectionately thine
T. Carlyle
Does the carriage run? Drive daily in it: I like right well to fancy thee there. Perhaps we shall some time have a Gig of our own? Thou "poor man's wife"!

I have C1 that needs to combine C2 and C3. The problem with this is that is that if I'm importing with SQL it doesn't combine C2 and C3, but instead imports nothing or the actual formula. Is there a way to make formula information in a cell more permanent?
For example; a field that I am using a formula for (

Exalogic Virtual Tea Break Snippets - Cloning an existing vServer
By The Old Toxophilist on Feb 26, 2013
Following on from my Blog entry "Scripted
Template Generation from an existing vServer" I have built a
wrapper script that can be used to execute the Template Generation
script or Clone a specific vServer. This script was not
incorporated into the original script because it must be executed
on a Compute Node with access to the /OVS/Repositories directory
and the Compute Node are a minimal install and hence do not have
all the required software available. As part of the Cloning
process this new script will create an Assets input file that can
be used with the CreateAssets.sh describe in the blog "Scripting
Asset Creation" and optionally execute the result to create
the clone.
To successfully run the script you will need the following 3
scripts located in the same directory on a machine with the EMOC
cli/api rms installed.

While the thought of summer movies usually brings to mind big special-effects extravaganzas and sequels, the best movies of July 2014 span a surprisingly wide range of genres. Sure, one of the choices is indeed a sequel filled with effects, but other choices include a couple of unique indie films and even a documentary. These are truly the best of the big screen for July 2014.
5. "Begin Again"
From John Carney, writer and director of the 2007 film "Once," "Begin Again" stars Keira Knightley and Mark Ruffalo and features Maroon 5's lead singer Adam Levine in his feature film debut. This charming and joyful movie actually feels a bit like "Once" on paper. Both movies revolve around strangers who bond through a shared love of music, and both feature a powerful alt-rock soundtrack. The original title of the movie was, in fact, "Can A Song Save Your Life," a question which would have to be answered "yes" by everyone seeing this lovely film.
4. "Snowpiercer"
While "Snowpiercer" was put into limited release at the very end of June 2014, its box office earnings all fell into the month of July, earning it a spot on this list. A surprising and frequently astonishing movie from Korean director Bong Joon-ho, "Snowpiercer" pushes the concept of a post-apocalyptic dystopia to an extreme by imagining a huge train that loops the Earth each year carrying the only survivors of a failed climate-control experiment. The metaphor of the train, providing forward motion that never gets the passengers anywhere, powerfully underlies the action of the movie.
3. "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes"
As an effects-laden sequel, "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes" definitely has a summer movie pedigree. The dark tone and sheer intelligence of this movie lift it above the status of a mere sequel, however. Andy Serkis, best known for his role as Gollum in the "Lord of the Rings" movies, gives a ground-breaking performance in his motion-capture role as Caesar, the leader of the apes. A war movie that manages to combine the pulp pleasure of an ape on horseback firing machine guns with thematic questions about what it means to be truly human, "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes" is another movie that is fully satisfying on multiple levels.
2. "Life Itself"
Steve James, the director of acclaimed documentary "Hoop Dreams," teamed up with Martin Scorsese to present this lovely tribute to the late film critic Roger Ebert and, by extension, to the medium of film itself. The movie takes viewers behind the relationship between Ebert and his on-screen partner Gene Siskel. The film shows the audience how Ebert vowed, after Siskel's unexpected death from brain cancer, that he would be transparent should something similar happen to him. Sadly, that's exactly what happened.
1. "Boyhood"
Richard Linklater's "Boyhood" breaks new ground as a movie filmed over 12 years, all to allow its young star, Ellar Coltraine, to grow from the age of 6 to a man of 18 right before the audience's eyes. The passage of time, an afterthought in most movies, drives "Boyhood" and makes the story all the more real. The feat of filming across 12 years is impressive enough, but "Boyhood" hits the screen as a seamless piece of work that flawlessly tells a small and personal story.
Summer of 2014 is already a rich feast for moviegoers, thanks to the breadth and depth of the movies featured here. If these are the kinds of movies hitting the screen in the summertime, 2014 could end up being one of the best years for film in a long time.

Working tricky muscle groups - Best Muscle Building Program
As an example, we serve M. biceps brachia. When flexion is more mobile parts of the forearm (not arm), therefore we consider the insertion end of the muscle of the radius. Another example is major. The tendon attaches to the hummers. The beginning is a less active site, therefore, to put it simply, in the torso area. The moving parts of the arm That's what I've covered the most important answer to the question of how it looks muscle that you could see if you should be visited at autopsy. Who would ever want to try the their life looking at the remains of parts of the human body and especially your sense of smell, which probably disappoint excursion had not organized.
But I think that would be enough to get hold of a friend who attends the practical exercises of this kind. In the next article we will look at muscle building more detail from the perspective of the microscope: what form the muscle as a whole and what is needed to feed you to them then they can be proud Continued on the medial side of the knee, below which is fastened to the inside and back of the tibia.
We face the only muscles located on the lower leg and thus our series ends... If you miss some more muscles (someone voted for pelvic floor: o)) and would like to add it (I think lyrically, not your body really cannot handle except to the pelvic floor:, just write me. Likewise, in the case of proposals of other topics that would interest you.
