Frequently Asked Questions - Explosion in spectrum demand
As the number of tablets and smart phones grows, telecom operators vie for access to new frequency bands, but the traditional methods of adjudicating the spectrum are facing limitations.
Keep in mind that the spectrum is used for radio and television broadcasts, for satellite communications, for airplane traffic control, for geolocation (Global Positioning Systems – GPS), as well as for military, police and other governmental purposes. Traditionally, the demand for additional spectrum has been met due to the advances in electronics that have permitted the use of higher frequencies at an affordable cost. Higher frequencies are well suited for high speed transmissions, but they have a limited range and are highly attenuated by walls and other obstacles as well as by rain.
This is exemplified by comparing the coverage of an AM radio broadcasting station to that of an FM station: the great range of the AM station is due to its use of lower frequencies. On the other hand, FM stations can make use of higher bandwidths and as consequence can offer greater audio quality at the expense of a more limited range.
Accordingly, TV broadcasting frequencies are coveted by cellular telephone providers: using lower frequencies means they will need fewer base stations, with corresponding savings in deployment, operation and maintenance. This is why these frequencies are commonly referred as "beach front property".
The greatest impact of advanced modulation and coding methods for more efficient spectrum use has been the availability of more bits/s per Hz of bandwidth. This advance was made economically possible by great strides in integrated circuit manufacture.
According to calculations performed in 1948 by Claude Shannon, the father of modern telecommunications, a typical telephone line can, in theory, carry up 30 Kbit/s. But this rate was achieved only in the 1990s with the invention of integrated circuits that could implement the required techniques.
Steve Song, CEO, Village Telco talks about what TV White Spaces are; what they enable; how different operators might use them; and why they are important for Africa. He concludes by talking about the new investor in his company Village Telco and what its future plans are.

an epic coagulation of seminal fluids

A person who frequently displays immense stupidity and a disturbing lack of all common sense. A person who is chronically engaging in asinine behavior without recognizing that said behavior is, in fact, asinine.
After carefully observing the situaiton, the man's friends deemed him to be a doowad due to the troubling facts that the man lived with his parents well into his fourties, and that he was almost always unemployed.

text: I currentley have have a 99' with a 01' 5.3 engine and matching automatic transmission that was recently installed. the issue at hand, drove fine at normal speed then while in in drive it slipped out of gear, fell back in gear, then a mile down the road it would not go into any gear as if it was in neutral. I have checked the fluid even though it did leak some transmission fluid out "after" I had it towed and it is a bit over the mark on the dip stick. I checked the shift cable and it is moving the gear lever on the transmission. One note, the 4wd selector switch on the dash is blinking if I try to put into auto 4wd or 4wd hi or lo ( it does not blink when in 2wd mode). I also know that my actuator to the transfer case is shot. I guess what I'm curious about is if the selector switch could have thrown the transmission into a flat neutral ? I jsut cannot under stand why it would drive fine then just have no gearing. Thanks in advance.

Ship Date: Winter 2000
Prepare to enter the sprawling sci-fi fantasy universe of "Phantasy
Star Online," as quest-seeking players from across the globe unite
online via SegaNet. When the first "Phantasy Star" installment
launched on Sega Genesis, it amazed gamers with detailed 3D labyrinths,
vast free-roaming landscapes, and endless hours of non-linear gameplay.
Building upon its legacy, this new story begins with a scout crew descending
from space to investigate an explosion on the Phantasy Star planet.
Being the first fully networked console-based RPG, "Phantasy Star
Online" for Sega Dreamcast will create a community unlike any other.
Allowing up to four people to take part in each mission, this is the
largest amount of participants per quest that have ever been possible
for a console RPG. Using their own ID numbers, players will coordinate
their adventures in this expansive world by using a special feature
to alert and attract other players who want to partake in the proposed
quest. Communication involves a translation-based "keyword"
system using a standardized set of phrases and symbols which enables
players of all nationalities to interact with one anothers sans the
language barrier impeding gameplay. Developed by Yuji Naka and his Sonic
Team, whose members include some of the original "Phantasy Star"
developers, there is no doubt that fans of the franchise will be pleased.

Just watched some more tape of Ogletree and most of his failed tackles seem to be due to the lack of lower body strength like Redeye pointed out earlier but there were times during the SEC Championship that he made a goal line stand or crucial 3rd down stop like you would want our of your MLB. This guy can be something very special but I'd be cautious giving him too many snaps in an NFL defense in his rookie season. I could see him getting bullied against a run heavy team with his current build and lose confidence. I dunno...if I'm the coach, I put him on the field for more obvious passing downs and special teams in year 1 and then when he adds more weight for his sophomore year, let him compete for the starting job.
Brown looks like he can start on day 1 and make a solid contribution to a team that already has a decent front 7 though I just don't see future superstar in him. Slip said something about him starting in the middle earlier in the thread and I'd be curious what he saw in him to make that statement?

all I want to know is what's the first baseman's name...
no, no, no, What's on second
I'm not asking you who's on second
who's on first
I don't know
no, he's on third....
Why the hell is Stafford's that high?
Apparently the Lions had money to blow....he had 2 seasons where he was injured most of the time even though when he actually played he did pretty good, his 3rd season was good enough to get them to the playoffs, and last year was the worse ever and he was healthy so why he's paid that much...only the Lions FO can answer that question.
Would be nice if they could do something with those numbers.

Kristin Kellner
Schultz was greeted by a familiar face on the stage when she graduated with a
doctoral degree in leadership at Stritch's Dec.14 commencement ceremony: her
own mother, Mary Kellner. Kristin's
Dad, Ted Kellner, as well as Kristin's husband, Ryan, and 3-year-old daughter, Vivian, cheered from the front row of the U.S. Cellular Arena in downtown
Kristin followed in
the footsteps of her mother, Mary, a noted civic leader and member of Stritch's
Board of Trustees, who also received a doctoral degree in leadership from
Stritch in 2007. The pair represents the first mother-daughter doctoral program
graduates in University history. Given that only 1.7 million Americans have earned
a terminal degree, Kristin and Mary are among the very few mother-daughter
combinations who earned doctorates.
As an alumna of the
program, Mary encouraged her daughter to apply to the doctoral program. And as
a member of Stritch's Board of Trustees, Mary Kellner was on the stage to
congratulate all of Stritch's doctoral graduates, which in this case includes
her own daughter.
"I am sure part of
my love of learning and genuine curiosity comes from my relationship with my
mom," Kristin said. "I was the kid who asked
'Why?' every five minutes and my mom always encouraged it."
According to
Kristin, Mary was a mentor throughout the program.
"Daily life does not stop when pursing a higher degree and
like all of my classmates, things got super busy," Kristin said. "During the program, I got married, moved
twice, had a baby, and completed a dissertation. My mom's constant support and encouragement,
on multiple levels, was invaluable to receiving my degree. She understood firsthand
about life as an academic."
Mary Kellner, who
has spent the last 16 years volunteering and offering critical leadership at
numerous nonprofit organizations, could easily relate to the discipline and
time management skills needed to complete the doctoral program.
"I know how much
work you have to put into this -- how long you spend late at night writing
papers," she said. "I think that we will always be bonded by the experience
that we both went through."
Kristin, who has served as an adjunct faculty member at Marquette University, completed her doctoral dissertation on "Clinical Depression and Meaningmaking." Her ongoing work in the area of mental health continues a family tradition of engaged social action.
"My passion for mental health came about in my early 20s when I honestly didn't know the difference between mental and physical health," Kristin said. "I came to understand mental health because of personal experiences with family and friends and quickly saw the dangers of stigma and misinformation surrounding it.
"My dissertation highlights eight individuals who have gone beyond acceptance to embracing their mental illnesses and associating positive meaning from it. Mental health is such a complex public health issue and all too often portrayed negatively; I hope my contributions are positive and illustrate people can lead fulfilling lives once they learn how to manage their diagnosis."
Mary is proud of her daughter's scholarly contributions to the cause of mental health, as well as her longtime advocacy. Kristin serves on the Board of Directors for the Grand Avenue Club, a mental health support network in Milwaukee County, and is also the co-chair of Mental Health America.
"Kristin realized that the stigma with depression is so great," Mary said. "She has been very passionate about educating people about depression, helping people understand that it is a relatively common challenge. It can be managed and can be treated as a disease."
Mary said she will always treasure the memory of embracing her daughter on the commencement stage, and is immensely proud of the work that her daughter produced as a result of the program. It is work that embraces the Franciscan core of the University.
Mary and Ted Kellner, executive chairman and founder of Milwaukee-based Fiduciary Management, were and are role models for their daughter, Kristin, because of their active role in giving back to the community. The Kellners are well-known throughout Milwaukee for their tireless efforts to improve quality of life in southeastern Wisconsin.
Among the organizations impacted by the Kellners: Children's Hospital of Wisconsin, Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce, Milwaukee College Prep, Milwaukee Humane Society, The Nehemiah Project Inc., Next Door Foundation, to name a few.

Officials: Limerick nuclear plant operator was under the influence
LIMERICK TWP., Pa. - A worker at a nuclear power plant has been removed from duty after being found to under the influence of alcohol, federal officials said.
A random "fitness for duty" test was conducted on July 14 at the Exelon Limerick Generating Station in Montgomery County, and it was discovered that Rodger Devlin was under the influence of alcohol, said Diane Screnci, spokeswoman for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), which is the federal agency that overseas the nuclear industry in the United States.
"We expect all workers at a nuclear plant to be fit for duty when they are on site," said Screnci.
Devlin was promptly removed from duty and received a severity level III violation, investigators said.
"It means it resulted in, or could have resulted in, moderate safety or security consequence. Typically, when we're talking violations, we're looking at systems that are not able to function for a short period of time," said Screnci.
Authorities added that Devlin's responsibilities included serving as the plant reactor operator, as well as being able to perform plant manipulations.
Devlin's license has since been suspended, officials said.
"In this case, they administered a random test, found someone who was under the influence of alcohol, and took the appropriate actions," said Screnci.
Officials pointed out that Devlin was never in the control room alone, and that public health and safety were never in danger.

It's not that I don't see the argument, and I don't know anything about Urlacher personally, so maybe he's a great teacher/mentor. Maybe he's not.
But who does he take playing time from?? Roster spots are worth their weight in gold, and I doubt BU would play STeams.
I just don't think you take up a roster spot for a mentor. If he's more than that. . .if he's still got game. . .then that's another story.
I wonder what would Urlacher's salary be if we do get him
If he would be willing to come for the min then I would see it as great but that would be dependent on him still being able to contribute play wise to the team. Lets be real, we dont have much going on at LB and I dont think Connor is the answer. We can't do any worse than we are now.
I'll take Urlacher for the right price and no more than two years. Better than Connors (is that his name?) and better than Herz.
But I'll take Ogletree over all of them.
Mentoring doesn't make sense when you already have Armstead as a special assistant to the team. And, as asked before, we need players who would you give up for him?
I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite team in the NFL.

I live in the desert of California and have had gardens for years. One of the biggest issues has always been watering. Last year I tried something different. I removed some trees from my yard and replaced them. Rather than throwing the buckets away that they came in I put them in the ground near the trees to help with watering. I also figured that this idea would work with the rest of my garden. I placed five gallon buckets in my garden near my tomato plants. That help get the water down under the root system and as an added bonus I was able to throw banana peels and other scraps right into the buckets. Last year was the best crop of tomatoes that I have ever had. This year I have modified and added more buckets and hope to have even a better crop. I used to have to water every day during the hottest time of the year but with this, I was able to go every other day during the long hot summer days here in the desert.

Vurdering av denne eiendommen
Wir haben eine schöne Zeit in LLavorina verbracht.
Hat nur etwas gedauert, bis wir das Objekt gefunden hatten,da die Wegbeschreibung bei uns erst vor Ort angekommen ist. Konnte aber zu jeder Zeit das Team des Vermieters telefonisch erreichen.
Das Haus bietet viel Platz, wir waren nur zu fünft.
Das einzige, was uns gestört hat, war der etwas muffelige Geruch. Wenn man die Abflüsse dann gespült hat, war der Geruch weg. Hatten aber auch die ganze Zeit keine Klimaanlage an, vielleicht hing es auch damit zusammen.
... und da es uns so gut gefallen hat, haben wir gleich noch ein paar Tage drangehängt...
Wir (Eltern, 3 Kinder 13-7-3) verbrachten eine schöne Zeit in sehr gepflegtem und geschmackvoll modern eingerichtetem Landhaus. Idealer Ausgangspunkt für Tages -oder Halbtagesausflüge zu nahe gelegenen Stränden (15 Autominuten), zum Zentrum von Sa Puebla (15 Minuten zu Fuss), oder auch nach La Palma (30 Autominuten), sowie Einkaufsmöglichkeiten direct in Sa Puebla.
Silvia und Juan waren tolle Gastgeber, offen, hilfreich und zuverlässig.
Sehr zu empfeheln für einen Urlaub abseits von jedem Trubel (keine direkten Nachbarn), und doch so zentral gelegen, das man in relative kurzer Zeit zu jedem Zipfel der Insel gelangt.
Vurderinger for denne vertens andre eiendommer
Vi kan anbefale denne eiendommen på det varmeste. Hyggelig vertskap, rent og ordentlig, alle fasiliteter tilgjengelig. Huset er bygget og innredet i tradisjonell mallorcansk stil, veldig flott! Fikk litt trøbbel med gateporten etter regnvær slik at vi ikke kom oss ut, men da var verten raskt på plass og fikset det. Området ligger litt utenfor allfarvei, så leiebil anbefales. Dagligvarebutikk og restaurant i nærheten, men tar nok ca 1/2 time om man skal gå dit (en vei).
Its a fantastic Finca in the countryside of Mallorca but still very close to Santa Margalida. It has a beautiful, large and clean pool. The sourrounding yard is decorated with beautiful flowers. The house is decorated in an "old-fashion/classical" style and very cosy. The furniture in- and outside is very comfortable and solid - no plastic chairs or similar. The interior gives you everything you need: A huge fridge including 3 big ice buckets, a washing mashine, a barbeque on the terrace and a nice outside-couchplace. The kitchen provides any tool you´d need. Well, I could write a novel about the beauty of this place...
Last but not least we had very nice expirience with the daughter of the owner who visited us the second day in order to ask if everything is okay and to give some info about garbage and electronics.
To make a long story short: We had a fantastic stay and we will come back to this beautiful place a s soon as possible.

2008 Xbox 360 European price drop
GTAGaming.com - General News | @ 07:38 AM MDT | By Neil
Just in time for Grand Theft Auto IV, Microsoft today announced that it will shortly be reducing the price of all three Xbox 360 models in Europe. The console now carries an entry price of just �159.99 in the United Kingdom, which is lower than Nintendo Wii and just over half the cost of a PlayStation 3 in the region.
The Arcade console will retail for �159.99 in the UK and �199.99 in the rest of Europe. It's worth noting that it's unlikely that this console will be compatible with the previously announced episodic content for Grand Theft Auto IV, which will no doubt be larger than the 256MB memory card included with this edition.
Alternatively, gamers can pick up the standard console, which includes a 20GB hard drive for �199.99/�269.99 or the high end Elite unit, with a 120GB drive for �259.99/�369.99. This interesting news may sway more undecided gamers away from Sony's console, which still has a recommended retail price of �299.99 in the UK.

2008 Canal & Greene mural nearly complete
Grand Theft Auto IV - General News | @ 02:40 PM MDT | By rappo
The enormous GTA IV mural on Canal and Greene St. in Manhattan from last week's report is finally near completion. Although there isn't anything new about the photograph they put up, I just thought you'd all like to see the final product. It's probably the most creative advertisement I've seen for a video game, but I'm just wondering how many people driving by will take it seriously!

Our source specifically talks about modes called "Deal Breaker," "Bomb da Base," and something called "Hangman's Noose," but gives no further details. The game will also feature ranked multiplayer races, likely across the game's open roads of Liberty City.The magazine goes on sale on March 19th across Germany.

The answer to that question defines what kind of program will work best for you in the long run.
Ask yourself, "What do I want to accomplish?" Do you want to lose weight? Get in shape and stay in shape? Maybe you'd like to reduce some of the stress in your life. Or perhaps you're serious about improving your overall health or increasing your muscular strength.
The good news is that every one of those goals can be accomplished. Each one can be the start of a fun exercise program you can enjoy and from which you can benefit.
Is your goal weight control? Then start with a low-impact or non-impact aerobic activity and work up to at least 30 minutes almost every day. If your goal is strengthening your muscles, there are plenty of strength-conditioning programs that include the use of free weights, weight machines, exercise tubing or calisthenics.
If your goal is improved flexibility, you could try yoga or a simple stretching routine that covers all of your major muscle groups.
Maybe you know what you want to accomplish, but don't know how to get started. That's where we can help. The American Council on Exercise (ACE) has nearly 50,000 certified personal trainers and group fitness instructors all over the world who can help you get started with the program that best meets your goal. Call 800-825-3636 or visit http://www.acefitness.org/ for more information.
But before you take that step, check with your doctor, especially if you're a man over 45 or a woman over 55 or have any health problems, like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, a family history of heart disease, or even if you smoke. It's a good idea to have your personal physician give the idea of an exercise program a thumbs-up before you begin.
What's better, your home or a health club? Actually, one place isn't better than another. The choice really comes down to where you will be most comfortable and best able to accomplish your exercise goals. Here are some things to consider when you're making your decision.
Exercising at home can be more economical than exercising at a health club. Invest in a good pair of running or walking shoes, some adjustable dumbbells and an exercise mat, and you're ready to go. For some people, the best part of home exercise is the privacy.
If you're the kind of person who can stick with an exercise program alone at home, that's your answer. But if you do better with the stimulation of others, or if you enjoy being with a group of people who share your interests, consider a full-service club.
For some people, a health or fitness club works a lot better than home. Clubs have a variety of exercise options, professional fitness instructors to keep you working in the right direction and other people who share a common interest.
One of the nice things about a club is that you can work it into your schedule. Go early in the morning before work or stop off on your way home.
The only drawback could be the cost of health club membership. You'll have to weigh the expense with what you can afford and what you want to accomplish.
There is still another direction you can go, and that's to get together with coworkers during lunch to walk or jog. Many people have a good chance of sticking with a regularly scheduled lunchtime exercise program. You just might be one of them.
Deciding where to exercise comes down to picking the place that offers you the greatest comfort, and the one that works best with your lifestyle.

Integrators Discuss Lessons Learned at NSCA Conference
NSCA's Excellence in Business winners shared how they overcame challenges that led to a successful run during the 2013 Business and Leadership Conference.
By D. Craig MacCormack · February 28, 2014
DALLAS — The winners of the National Systems Contractor's Association's Excellence in Business Awards shared how they continued to grow their operations despite facing obstacles during 2014 Business and Leadership Conference here.
On the opening night of the conference, NSCA handed out its annual Excellence in Business Awards to five companies that serve as the benchmark in fiscal responsibility, growth strategies, recurring revenues, professional development and marketing strategies.
Rob Simopoulos, president of Advance Technology of Scarborough, Maine, took home the EIB award for marketing strategies, but that doesn't mean the company hasn't sometimes undersold what it can bring to its clients.
After visiting a client with a high-tech, user-friendly surveillance system, realizing the client is thrilled with the system but then noticing that five of the six high-definition cameras weren't working, "we realized that by selling a client a service contract, we'd actually be better serving them," says Simopoulos.
By being able to remotely solve a client's problem without rolling a truck, the integrator "puts itself in a completely different competitive situation … and it's cheaper for the customers … so there is a sales angle to it," he says.
Mike Brandofino, executive vice president of video and unified communications for AVI-SPL, has seen the company's service department build relationships with clients to the point that when that client needs another project they "don't even go to RFP [request for proposal] because we're so embedded." So it leads to additional work, which is why the company was honored for growth strategies.
But asking some sales staffers to think beyond selling projects was not without its issues, he says.
"You can't expect every salesperson to get on board," says Brandofino. "We had to provide the resources to help them identify the opportunity."
Jim Ford, co-founder of Ford AV, says being fiscally responsible isn't easy and "it's not something you just do; it's culture." One thing this industry "should never do is under value what we do. I think we sell our systems and work [for] way too low margin. I think furniture stores make more than we do."
"It's not unusual for us to bid 20 jobs and not get one. That should show you we're not low cost," says Ford. "We have a formula and we do it the same way all the time. If we win a job, we're happy with the margin, we're happy with the profit and we can do the job and have a happy customer. The key is to bid on a whole lot of work, send out a lot of proposals, hopefully you'll win your fair share."
Human Circuit launched a unique around-the-clock monitoring offering a few years ago that includes a hidden diagnostics approach that "started as self-preservation but became a differentiator for us," according to president and CEO Bruce Kaufmann in an earlier interview.
Marketing director Pamela Zacha says she wishes the company had done a better job of preparing its customers for what was coming in terms of converging technologies.
In terms of professional development, Technical Innovation of Atlanta has tried to always stay in front of the pack.
"You have to accelerate everything and be more aggressive at driving professional development," says CEO Mike Landrum. "You have to figure out way to help everyone understand how important it is. You have to hire, attract and set expectations for all employees."
At Technical Innovation, that means tying professional development directly to performance reviews and requiring them to update their own Share Point profiles, says Landrum.


text: I'm sooo sorry that he didn't like it. I think it's gorgeous and you have done a fantastic job. You should be very proud of all your hard work and all the "firsts" you have achieved with this quilt. I hope that you will continue quilting as you seem to have a real talent for it.

Harvest Time in Nicaragua
Saludos from Jinotega, Nicaragua! I am back in Nicaragua to witness the beginning of the 2011-2012 coffee harvest as well as check in on the progress with our Direct Trade producers Roberto Bendaña and the Las Mercedes group of the Aldea Global Co-op.
This morning started with an early breakfast with Roberto, who lives in Managua, and then a speedy trip in his death-by-text-mobile to his farms El Paraiso and El Quetzal in Matagalpa, Nicaragua. I am convinced that Roberto has it out for me, but at least this time he didn't try to pass two semis on a two lane road while emailing from his blackberry, so maybe his driving is getting better. We arrived at the farm and found the 205 pickers who were working on El Quetzal. This is only the beginning of the harvest, so the pickings are slim. During the peak of the season, starting around January, Roberto will have around 1,700 pickers working on all of his farms.
As we were wandering the farm with the pickers, who were working in cuadrillos of 50 workers, each led by a boss, a loud conch shell blared through the hills. This was the sign for lunchtime, and all of the workers came pouring out of their hillside picking spots to line up for their daily meal. Roberto provides a meal every day for every person that is working on his farms. Today's meal came in large plastic drums: rice, beans, veggies, and a drink. Each worker brings his own bowl and cup, and Roberto's cooks dole out the food. The quantity of food was outstanding, and the logistics of providing that much food was amazing.
While the pickers ate lunch, Roberto and I drove over to El Paraiso to check on the development of the plants there. Ripening has been pretty late this year, and the first red cherries are just starting to slowly ripen right now. There were no pickers on El Paraiso today, but we were able to see the new bathrooms that Roberto built, complete with showers, flushing toilets, and a concrete pathway. Roberto's next project is to replace the tin roofs of the workers quarters on El Paraiso, which he estimates will cost around $4,500.
From El Paraiso we returned to El Quetzal to visit the elementary school and nursery that Roberto runs. Right now there are only about 35 children, but at the peak of the harvest, there will be around 80 children cared from by 4 teachers, who are wives of pickers and workers on the farm. The next Direct Trade proposal is to renovate the school buildings. The roofs and floors are new, but the wooden walls need to be replaced with concrete. Last year, Roberto's sister organized the purchase of 10 refurbished iMac computers for the school, and they are in the process of training the teachers to conduct classes in the computer room. It's a very impressive project!
We dined on a delicioso meal of beans, beans, and more beans, before Roberto had to head back to Managua. I was driven in an armored truck with an armed guard to Jinotega. Along the way, we stopped to pick up a woman and her baby who needed a ride to the main road. The woman handed me her baby and then hopped in the back of the truck, leaving me petrified with no seat belt on a bumpy road holding an infant. Only in Nicaragua.
Tomorrow I am headed to visit the co-op producers from Las Mercedes to check in on their harvest and last year's investments. Until then!

I know he is 28 and a lot of teams may not be willing to spend a high round pick on a guy that already up there in age. However, if you look at the Dolphins, Browns or Chiefs situation there could be a real possibility to that they could consider him.
I think for the Dolphins or the Chiefs to consider him, it would be via jumping back into the first round, which could be a help for the Giants if they want to move back. The Browns have the #22 pick which could also be an option.
This kid is talented and I would not be surprised to see him off the boards in the late first round.

Road Kill – Road Life
Road kill is abundant along the way when one cycles several hundred miles on highways and back county roads. Fox, raccoons, skunks, birds, turtles, deer, squirrels, butterflies – I saw them all in their state of demise along the roadsides. Sometimes I biked around their decayed carcasses.
But even more abundant is road LIFE, especially if one chooses to look for the wonders unseen through a fast-moving car window. Often I dismounted and set the kickstand of my bike to shimmy
Often I am too ensconced in day-to-day routines and miss some of God's best creative work surrounding me. I overlook certain people because of their outward appearance, their lifestyles incongruent with mine, their beliefs that don't fit with beliefs I cling to. They are lost in the "undergrowth" of social norms. When I take time to push aside all of these things, I have most often discovered a profound and delicate beauty that previously I had not seen, and I am the richer for a new relationship of value that intersects mine.
Magnificent lupines were in full bloom here and there along our route – radiant pinks, purples, whites – with their spindly stalks. Sometimes a small stand of them were in the ditches but other times whole fields of lupines spread out in front of me like an artist's rendering. I began to greet the flowers as my "Lady Lupines", because their beauty and strength reminded me of women in my life who have mentored me and modeled feminine wisdom and presence. Lupines appear to be rather vulnerable as they sway in the wind, and it seems as if the wind could
Breathtaking as the Lupines were, an equally astonishing scene often unfolded – picturesque white fields of daisies. Acres of them, as if they were in place to remind me of God's good creation. How
Eye on the Prize
I definitely had my eye open for a prize along the way. I was on the lookout for Ladyslipper flowers, the state flower of Minnesota. After several days I wondered if they had eluded me, but suddenly I spotted a patch off to my right. They tantalized me, voluptuous and sturdy in the ditch when the heat was high and my strength was low. Their unique appearance stood out above all else and I sat with
Come to the Church in the Wildwood
Meals and snacks (called nips and sips) were taken mostly where Jim had arranged groups to provide a break from our weariness in the mid-morning, noon, and mid-afternoon. Some rest stops were at little country churches where a group of men and women or youth were serving homemade, tasty goodies to raise money for summer trips or equipment for the church. Breakfasts were always in the school cafeteria of the site we camped the night before – high schools, middle schools – and money was for sports teams or other school needs. Dinners were often in a restaurant or bar where a private back room gave us space to mingle and share time together about our day on the road. Conviviality and community building provided opportunity to engage with fellow travelers a bit deeper, and our stories of aches and joint pain sometimes became a ticket into further conversation around many and varied topics.
The Answer is blowing in the wind
"It's a beautiful biking day" or "I don't know…looks like it could rain". The iPads and Smart Phones gave bikers easy access to a full accounting of anticipated weather each day, with temps-by-the-hour readily at hand. "Should be a good tail wind", one might report to another; or "We're heading into a northeast wind", which always made me cringe. Indeed the final answer was out on the road, sometimes pedaling headlong into gusts of 25 MPH or more, or cross winds. But glorious were the
Come Rain or Come Shine
The first days of biking were 90+ degree days in blazing sun. Good sauna kind of heat cleansed the pores and the cold showers waiting for us at the camp site felt like rewards for a day well baked…I mean, biked. Nights in the tent were generally cool and provided the climate for a good night's sleep. Our days started at 5am with the Conductor's whistle and cheery "good morning – time to get up". If there was little response, his whistle and coinciding greeting became louder and louder until he was satisfied by our reasonably barked, "Good morning to you, too!" Threats of rain came and went but our night in Superior, WI was a stormy one with loud thunder and lightning and pelting rain. Fortunately my tent sat slightly downhill, so the puddle inside my tent in the morning was right at the tent door. I unzipped my flap and swept the water out. I never like packing up a wet tent, sleeping bag and air mattress, because when I set it up at the next site, the soggy equipment is quite unpleasant. Things do dry out quickly, though, so by bedtime the next night, all was usually well again.
My last day began with a very strong rain threat, in fact, the possibility of a major storm moving through our biking route. Not long after we started riding the rain began to fall. It began as a lovely, gentle rain and the fresh wet smell of awakening forest growth and a light washing of my face was very soothing. The storm, however, intensified, with booming thunder and relentless lightning which brightened a fast-moving, darkened sky. Threats of hail were in the forecast.
Logging trucks and other oversized vehicles, coupled with bicyclists on puddled, narrow roads with little or no shoulders is not a good combination for a safe bike ride. After nearly 25 miles in such conditions, we began to come together one by one at the Clam Lake Junction, a warm and well
He ain't heavy, he's my brother"
Every Christmas my family received a packet in the mail from Boy's Town, Nebraska. In addition to a request for funds, a set of perforated stamps was included with the picture of a boy carrying a small child on his back. Imprinted on each stamp was the statement noted above. The message was clear – the child was willingly carrying his brother, and his brother was not a burden.
I was questioned often during my bike ride about why I ride such a heavy bike. All the other riders have lightweight bikes with narrow tires for the least road resistance and easy ability to ride swiftly along. Some have said to me, "You work harder than anyone else on the ride with that heavy bike." It's probably true. For those interested, I explain that my bike ride is a spiritual journey for me. It is a time of reflection on the beauty of creation and the wonder of the Creator. It is a time of prayer and song, of contemplation on my life and calling. In addition to all that, I the ride is an opportunity to bring awareness about justice-seeking groups by inviting people to sponsor my ride with contributions to be divided between selected organizations. I have done this each of the four rides I have made.
This year I raised my goal to $7000 and miraculously achieved that goal! This amount includes a grant of $1000 from the East Cass County Chapter of Thrivent Financial for Lutherans. The money is being divided between three groups:
Flood of Love – This Minot, ND based organization assists churches and families recovering from devastating flood waters during summer of 2011, and is managed by the Western ND Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.
Sister Parish – The community of Tierra Nueva Uno, Chinautla, Guatemala, has been in sister parish relationship with Faith Lutheran Church, West Fargo, since 2001. The church in Tierra Nueva Uno is creating a safe multi-purpose playground/sports area for children and youth who currently have no place to hold activities and sports activities except for on the streets, where there is a great deal of violence and crime. Our church is committed to sharing in the development of their dream.
United Hearts for Haiti – This West Fargo faith ministry was created and is administered by former refugees from strife-ridden Haiti, and seeks to create education opportunities and offer school supplies for children and youth that otherwise are not available to them.
As I pedal my heavy bike, I remember people living in poverty and in systems that perpetuate oppression, people who are denied basic human rights. They carry very heavy burdens in life and have few options to escape these situations. My heavy bike is a symbol of these heavy burdens. The difference between them and me is that I can park my heavy bike after a week of riding and go on with my life, while those who are marginalized and stuck in oppressive systems do not have the luxury of walking away from them. And in the way the young boy is pictured carrying his younger brother on his back, I feel the Gospel calling to help ease the burdens that my sisters and brothers carry. They aren't heavy; they're my sisters and brothers. I am so grateful for the generous support of those who support my ride financially, as well as those who commit to praying for me in this endeavor. I carry the names of my sponsors in my front bike basket, and during the long days of pedaling, I remember each sponsor and their families by name, asking God to carry their burdens and needs. It is a blessing to be praying for people this way. I am always surprised at what God's Spirit brings to mind to pray for.
Then Sings My Soul…
"Jaunt with Jim" is a very exhausting but enlivening ride. Biking in the open air offers freedom quite different from a car ride. My world expands with intimate details of nature and its bounty. As I feel the wind on my face and the sun on my back, many mysterious and holy moments of communing with an inner divinity fill me with awe. Sometimes these moments come with the graceful flight of an eagle overhead, or a deer's startling appearance before me. Sometimes the moments come with a
This is my "Bike for Justice".

Jose Raul Capablanca, of Cuba, was the 3rd World Chess Champion. He was considered to be a true Chess genius, a natural player that spent very little time preparing for his tournament appearances. Throughout his entire Chess career, he suffered fewer than 50 losses. In 1920, reigning World Champion Lasker resigned his title to Capablanca, saying "You have earned the title not by the formality of a challenge, but by your brilliant mastery." Capablanca refused to accept the title, demanding a match with the World Champion so that he could earn the title through victory over the Chessboard. In 1921, Capablanca had his opportunity at Havana 1921 and soundly defeated Lasker 9.0: 5.0, having won 4 games and drew 5. The feat of winning the world title without losing a game to the incumbent was truly remarkable, one that went unequalled for nearly 80 years.
In 1927, Capablanca faced his main rival Alexander Alekhine for the World Championship title in Buenos Aires, Argentina, whom he had soundly defeated earlier that same year at the New York 1927 Tournament. The match lasted 34 games, with Alekhine emerging victorious after having exhibiting great skill and patience. Years later, Alekhine was asked how he was able to defeat the heavily favored Capablanca. A man of no intellectual modesty, he nevertheless responded, "Even now I cannot explain that."
On March 7, 1942, he was happily kibitzing a skittles game at the Manhattan Chess Club in New York when he collapsed from a stroke. He was taken to Mount Sinai hospital, where he died the next morning. Remarkably, the Cuban's former rival, Emanuel Lasker, had died in that very hospital only a year earlier.

If you want to get a message to him, try the Honeybee Awareness Day website.

Okay, so google him and figure out how to contact him if you need to. Or go to Eastern PA Beekeepers meetings and you'll find him. Or to the state mtng. He hasn't fallen off of the face of the earth.

or you could just try here if you want to get in touch with him
I too miss his distinctly unique perspective on things - not always PC, but spoken from the heart with great conviction. His style would often rub people the wrong way, but having interacted with him and followed his posts for many years, I would recommend buying queens and nucs from him.
He is over on MasterBee.com - always making things interesting - indeed he has no trouble expressing himself.
I mainly lurk here and other forums but Bjorn has always struck me as a straight shooter. The only reason I de-lurked here is I use to live in Delaware. One thing I think he's right about is some of these goofy registration laws. Specially if your a hobbist with just a couple of hives. I use to get packages from Millers down outside Baltimore and never got or asked for any health certificate. Not that I debate the legal requirement, but come on health certificates for an insect?
I like Bee
Talking to Mike is easy. Go to his website, get the number, pick up the phone and call him. He was very helpful to me when I was trying to replace an absconded hive last spring. I plan to give him my business when i requeen next year.
I've seen him posting around on the beemaster site lately... I would tell him to check this link but I don't participate over at beemaster anymore, just lurk as a guest from time to time.
