My apologies for how late this recap is, however, I do want to extend our sincerest thanks to Bill Elliott for giving a great and varied talk on earlier this month. Bill put together a bunch of great presentations and passed along a lot of important information that we think would be valuable to all members.
Route 66 Bicycle Route Project Update
Bill started off by giving a status update on the Route 66 Bicycle Route Project. At this time, letters of support have been gained from all communities along the route and sent along to the Oklahoma Department of Transportation. Additionally, a joint Oklahoma Senate/House bill that directs the Oklahoma Department of Transportation to officially apply for the US Bike Route designation has cleared the Senate and only needs to pass the State House. The Oklahoma Bicycle Coalition is asking for anyone who wants to help to contact their state representative asking them to support SJR 13. You can find the contact information for your representatives at: http://www.okhouse.gov/FindMyLegislature.aspx?State=OK You can find a sample letter of support at: http://obc1voice.org/images/stories/Route66ProjectFiles/sample_letter_for_state_rep.pdf
Route 66 Bicycle Tour
Along with this great project information, Bill announced that he his putting together a tour along all of the Route 66 road in Oklahoma this spring and summer. This series of weekend rides starting on April 13 and going through July 14th, will give you a chance to have the bragging rights to say that you have ridden all of Route 66 in Oklahoma. Their are no fees associated with this ride, but teams will need to organize their own road transportation. Bill has put together several and there are several options for organizing car rides along the way:
- Team One has five members, four riding and one that does not ride, but will drive the team to the starting location, then hold back in case a team member needs SAG support.
- Team Two has four members, all will plan to ride, but each rider will takes a turn driving a quarter of the miles of the daily route.
- Team Three has four members and will drive two cars. They will leave one at the end point, and everyone piles into one car to travel to the starting point. They leave the car there, and at the end they drive back to the start point to pick up the car. This team has no designated SAG, just like many of the rides we do each week.
- Team Four has members that are busy on the designated day, but they will ride on some other date. Since they have the map, they can ride at their convenience. They could organize transportation like any of the above teams.
You can see all of Bill's presentation on the ride here. The only requirement to participate is that Bill will need a a signed waiver to participate which you can find here. You can email your waiver to Bill at email@example.com or bring it to the first day of the ride.
Oklahoma Bicycle Coalition Membership Benefits
Bill also reminded us of the many things that the Oklahoma Bicycle Coalition does for bicycle advocacy across the state of Oklahoma. However, if that's not enough reason for you to give your support, he also reminded us you can get this fantastic Share the Road license plate:
Please consider joining the Oklahoma Bicycle Coalition.
And Much More . . .
Bill also spoke about Cycle the Erie Canal Bike Tour, July 7-14th and the history of the Grand Blvd in Oklahoma City. He also provided some vital health information about the current research on sunscreen which you can see here.
Thanks again to Bill Elliott for all of the work he did putting together a great talk.

Lynette V's Profile
Hi, I'm Lynette. I live in Redondo Beach, California, with my wonderful husband and one cat.
Having always loved color, natural beauty and the healing properties of stones, I found that designing and making jewelry was a great way for me to express my creativity while appreciating the natural stones' energies.
Recently I have been cutting and polishing my own pendant stones, which will be noted in the labeling of those pieces.
While I don't have a particular style in my jewelry making - I just make what strikes me at the moment - all my pieces are beautiful, sometimes whimsical or even funky. They can be dressed up or down, and all can be worn with a simple white shirt and jeans (my preferred choice of daily wear!).
I have been designing jewelry since 2000 when I made…

Three-dimensional (3D) imaging by holographic tomography can be performed for a fixed detector through rotation of either the object or the illumination beam. We have previously presented a paraxial treatment to distinguish between these two approaches using transfer function analysis. In particular, the cutoff of the transfer function when rotating the illumination about one axis was calculated analyt ically using one-dimensional Fourier integration of the defocused transfer function. However, high numerical aperture objectives are usually used in experimental arrangements, and the previous paraxial model is not accurate in this case. Hence, in this analysis, we utilize 3D analytical geometry to derive the imaging behavior for holographic tomography under high-aperture conditions. As expected, the cutoff of the new transfer function leads to a similar peanut shape, but we found that there was no line singularity as was previously observed in the paraxial case. We also present the theory of coherent transfer function for holographic tomography under object rotation while the detector is kept stationary. The derived coherent transfer functions offer quantitative insights into the image formation of a diffractive tomography system.

What's at the core of the Christian faith? What do believers around the world and throughout history cling to? That's the topic when Alistair Begg reveals that what we hold on to also holds us! More
- Topics:
- Christian Living
Life After DeathIn every generation one subject remains a source of fascination and fear -DEATH. Is it really the end? What happens afterwards? At a time when people are increasingly preoccupied with stories of "out-of-body" experiences and are wondering about reincarnation, the fifteenth chapter of First Corinthians is unique and striking in its impact. Here is the classical Christian discussion of the most vital subject. We do well to pay careful attention so that in a matter marked by great confusion, we might learn to speak with clarity and conviction. In learning how to die, we find the key to learning how to live.

Threats to Spiritual Wholeness (Part 2 of 2)
In an attempt to avoid legalism, some Christians fall into the trap of forfeiting holiness. Healthy believers must break the pattern of sin and establish holy habits for the sake of their spiritual well-being.

The California Division of Boating and Waterways administers many programs to provide for boating safety on the State's waterways. The 2005 California Boating Safety Report summarizes activities performed in three key safety program areas:
This report also highlights the Department's current program enhancements and future safety initiatives designed to reduce accidents and make California's waterways safer.
Through the boating accident program, the Department provides useful accident information to boaters, law enforcement agencies, and educators. This information is communicated to the general public through the incorporation of relevant safety measures based on accident analysis into the Department's safety education programs and law enforcement training programs. Exhibit E-1, below, provides a summary of key boating accident statistics for 2005.
The Department provides supplemental funding to counties for law enforcement activities and promotes uniform enforcement of boating laws through its law enforcement training program. In 2005, the financial aid program allocated $8.1 million to 36 counties and 2 cities for enforcement personnel and operating costs. In turn, the counties provided crucial boating law enforcement, as well as safety training for law enforcement officers and the public. Exhibit E-2, following Exhibit E-1, provides a summary of law enforcement activities supported by the Department's financial aid program.
In 2005, the law enforcement training program included seven courses on various boating safety topics, in which Department staff trained 381 marine enforcement officers.
The Department's safety education programs provided nearly two million individuals with boating safety training and materials.
On-going partnerships with educational institutions, aquatic centers, and non-profit organizations provided crucial safety information to students and the general public. Additionally, the Department sponsored a statewide radio and outdoor media campaign to promote life jacket use, environmental stewardship, and boating safety course participation. Exhibit E-3, following Exhibit E-2, provides a summary of the Department's safety education outreach programs.
New programs developed in 2005 focus on improving public outreach and expanding law enforcement training. Enhancements to existing programs reflect changing accident statistics and key safety concerns. Exhibit E-4, following Exhibit E-3, presents a summary of 2005 program enhancements and initiatives.
Exhibit E-1
2005 California Boating Accident Summary Statistics
Accidents involving PWC have decreased 48% since January 1998. Trends contributing to this result:
Since changes in law noted above, and the resulting continued decrease of PWC-related accidents, the number of PWC accidents per hours under way has been approaching the rate for traditional vessels. In 2004, PWC were involved in fewer accidents than traditional vessels. The 2004 data revealed that:

During National Safe Boating Week, the week before Memorial Day weekend, the Department sponsored the following events:
Exhibit E-4
2005 California Boating Safety Program Enhancements
The Department created and produced two new 30-second radio messages, Angler Jack and No Brakes, addressing the importance of life jacket usage and safe speed respectively.
The 2004 boating accident statistics revealed that one-third of boating fatalities in California were fishing-related. Of these victims, all drowned and the majority were not wearing a life jacket.
Because of these findings, the Department decided to create a radio and television safety campaign specific to anglers. The key message encouraged anglers to not only wear life jackets when underway to fish, but also to continue to wear them while fishing.
In 2005, the Angler Jack and his Life Jacket television spot aired on the Outdoor Life Network and ESPN 2 over a nine-week period between 5 a.m. and 10 p.m. during fishing-related programming. Additionally, a complementary Angler Jack radio message was created and aired during fishing programs throughout the summer in four of California's major boating markets. The spot ran for 14 weeks in San Francisco, San Diego, and Los Angeles, and 26 weeks in Sacramento.
Premiering Labor Day 2005, the Department's Boating Safety Awareness campaign forged a partnership between a local television news program, a local aquatic center, and the Department to heighten awareness of boating safety in the San Diego. Safety announcements aired during the morning local newscast throughout the week leading up to the holiday weekend, prime placement on the station's website for prize giveaways, and culminated with "live" cut-in reporting during the Friday morning newscast featuring the Mission Bay Aquatic Center and an on-site life jacket giveaway.
With the evolution of iPods and satellite radio, among other new technology, traditional radio stations shortened their commercial breaks to stay competitive. Therefore, two of the 2004 spots, Bev Lite and CO Kills, were converted into 30-second spots in 2005.
In addition, two new 30-second spots, Angler Jack and No Brakes, were created. These new spots were created to increase life jacket use for anglers and safe speed, respectively. These spots combined a humorous approach with a safe boating message.
In 2005, a Sacramento Univision television station gave the Department the opportunity to relay boating safety information to the Spanish-speaking community. Pre-recorded and live feed interviews took place during the summer months.
In 2005, additional fire districts in Placer and San Joaquin Counties joined the Department's Life Jacket Loan Program. A current list of loan locations can be found on the DBW website:
The Department completed work on a brochure that promotes hands-on boating safety courses and contains information on classes offered by aquatic centers that have partnered with the Department. This brochure was distributed in 2005.

German Mulled Wine | Glühwein
Perfect for a holiday gathering, this warm mulled wine recipe is ready to serve in 30 minutes. It's so easy to make on the stove, or mull it in the slow cooker.
It's kind of like mulled cider……only better! Mulled Wine, or Glühwein as it's called in German speaking countries, is a traditional beverage that is offered during the Christmas holidays. I'm serving it up today for a Thanksgiving Cocktail Bloghop hosted by Home Stories A to Z.
I recently learned about Mulled Wine at a wine tasting event at our local grocery store. I was chatting and sampling wine with the fun lady at the yellow tail table, when she told me about Glühwein, or mulled wine. She said mulled wines have been warming people for centuries. Typically made with red wine, the wine is sweetened, spiced and heated. She assured me that the mulled wine is a delightful alternative to traditional coffee, cider or a hot toddy at holiday gatherings or just on a cold winter's night. I wrote down everything she told me, bought a bottle of yellow tail sangria and figured I'd make it for one of our holiday gatherings.
She said the secret to a good mulled wine, is to toast the spices in a pan for a bit to intensify their flavors, and to add a little apple cider, honey and brandy to the wine. It's like a mix between a spicy mulled cider, sangria and a punch. It's definitely sweet and tangy and tastes just like Christmas in a glass! And it's guaranteed to warm you up on a cold winter day.
I made mine on the stove top, but it can also be kept warm in a slow cooker to serve at your next holiday party.
Mulled wine is cheap easy and forgiving. Use a cheap red wine, that is fruity. Whole spices – I picked mine up in the bulk section at Whole Foods, that way you can just buy a small amount. Heat/toast the spices in a pan for a bit, add them to the pot of wine, with a little honey and apple cider. And let it simmer. How simple is that? I added some lemon, lime and orange slices before serving and just a little brandy. You could omit the brandy and add it to each glass if you'd prefer.
Now you're ready to fill up your glasses and snuggle by the fire or party!

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

The HK USP Compact is a small frame pistol capable of firing the most powerful cartridges. Based on the full size USP models, these handy pistols combine compact size with optimum effective shooting performance. USP compacts are smaller and lighter than large frame USPs. The reduction in trigger reach and grip circumference increases concealability and enhances shooting ergonomics. Unlike some subcompact semi-automatic pistols that use a difficult to shoot two finger grip frame, the USP Compact uses a narrow, full hand grip frame. Easy to shoot, simple to maintain; the USP Compact is a reliable, safe, accurate and highly concealable pistol.

Ginger Crab
Total Time
Prep 20 mins
Cook 10 mins
This recipe is the creation of Janie C. in Hawaii. It's made using the Dungeness crab "clusters", the part of the crab where the legs join the body. Because so much of the meat is visible in these pieces, they really soak up all the gingery, garlicky flavor of the oil. Serve over hot medium or long grain rice.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 5 lbs crab, clusters
- 5 cups vegetable oil (about 5 cups)
- 1⁄4 cup sesame oil
- 1 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 bunch green onion, chopped
- 1 teaspoon grated gingerroot
- 1 whole head of garlic, chopped
- 4 hawaiian chili peppers, chopped (to taste)
- oyster sauce (to taste)
- Drain crab clusters (the less water in the mixture the better). In a large wok or pot add oil, cilantro, green onion, ginger, garlic and peppers. Heat oil and ingredients until hot, stirring occasionally. Do not burn oil.
- Add oyster sauce to taste. Add gradually and mix well before adding more - the mixture should taste slightly sweet, not salty. Remove from heat and add crab, stirring to ensure crab is well seasoned.
- Let sit with no heat for ten minutes or longer to allow crab to soak. The crab tends to be more flavorful if allowed to soak longer before serving. Do not soak overnight.
