Who's built or building a Windows 8 machine?
The reason I post this question here is since most of us are high end system builders, modders, and overclockers, Id like see how many of you have or are building a high end Windows 8 machine.
I'm not going to argue the merits of whether the OS is good or bad. I'm sure many have their minds made and I'm certainly not going to try to sway one way or the other. For me, my answer is simple, as one who is actually using the OS, it works for me.
That said...
I built a Haswell system a little over a month ago with Windows 8.1 in mind, and thus far I've really had no major issues; even driver or app wise. And those items that wasn't working at first (Corsair Link), have now been updated and works as advertised.
What does get on my nerves at times however is the fact that at times I have to search high and low to find stuff. The start button (or lack of true one) gets me at times.
I'm still in the habit of hitting the start button like on Windows 7 and finding what I want only to be reminded it doesn't work that way now. On 8, it's basically the start screen or search feature to find stuff. And unless you know exactly what you're looking for, that can be a real pain at times.
Then there's the learning curve of the new OS as to the way it functions and works. I've had to unlearn some habits I've used for years with XP, Vista, and 7, and think differently with 8 – i.e. hitting the start button for everything and anything I needed, and instead, get use to search.
Despite those, if you've got a new system, Win 8's performance is undeniable – the OS boots faster, courtesy of UEFI. Runs smoother, and has some really good improvements – Windows Explorer, Task Manager…. Which gives you all sort of useful info.
And, as I said earlier, no gaming issues there. Even Steam and Origin works without issue. I completely played Mass Effect 3 (Origin) on 8 without any issues, finished off Deus Ex: Human Evolution – Director's cut; knocked out Bioshock Infinite – Burial at Sea (Steam). I'm am currently playing Witcher 1 (Steam based games), again, no issues.
Now I know there's a lot of negativity about the OS, but you'd really be hard pressed to find any of it leveled at it's performance... which is just as good if not better than 7's.
Is Win 8 perfect… NO. But (in my opinion) once you get past the GUI and its idiosyncrasies, you'll find an OS that just flies; especially with new hardware like a MB or a GPU such as Sapphire's UEFI enabled card which allows for faster boot/resume times - UEFI BIOS support
Again, this isn't about debating the merits of 8, there are hundred of threads between here and eightforums for that.
So, anyone else planning on a new upgrade with Win 8 in mind?

There are a few different "Classic Shell" programs for W8/W8.1 that when installed give the user the W7 desk top.
I use this one.
Classic Shell - Start menu and other Windows enhancements
You can configure this to boot in to the classic Win 7 desk top or the Win8/8.1 screen, end user choice. I have it on a touch screen lap top and touch tablet. Best of both worlds.
I agree that W8 is much faster than W7. I've been using W8.1 part time for about a month now and I'm almost ready to convert one or two W7 boxes to W8.1. It should be even faster with a 9590 and crossfired r9 280x's.

I dual boot my rig with Win 8.1. It performs well enough, but I can't take the GUI seriously enough to use it full time. It is fast though...

Above is the reason why i haven't built a Win 8 machine ,Having to Modify a OS just to make it run like the previous one is the reason it's pointless to me i am not kicking it down but i don't feel like modding it to get the feel of the 7 OS
It's probably not a issue doing so but i have yet to mod win 7 when i install it's great right out of the box
I have the same GUI on my phone but i am not impressed enough to move over yet if it isn't broke don't fix it
We have many years before a true upgrade is needed but for those who get it on release are the pioneers of testing it out i give you all credit for being brave this far when you see games being played it doesn't look bad at all but in games the frame increase is really not that much

I'm using Windows 8.1 straight out of the box with no mods or added Start buttons. I have it set to boot into desktop mode which is a new feature added in 8.1.
Anyway I'm getting use to the way it works so no issue for me using it as is.
And again, I'm not here to debate the merits of 8.1, there are countless threads here and eightforums for that.

@Drew this was probably the reason why it had bad reviews the 8.1 seems to have fixed what most complained about which i think is a huge step is the 8.1 offered as a upgrade or is it a paid upgrade ?
|My System Specs
|20 Jan 2014
It was part of the 8.1 update (aka the free 8.1 Windows update). There is a "start" button (four square windows logo, lower left) but many call it a faux start button
because this is all you get when you right click this is what you get....
There are some nice options there, but it's obviously not the traditional Start button many were hoping to see.
BTW a normal left click takes you to the start screen.
Anyway as I said, I'm getting use to it so no bother to me. And as I also stated, the OS itself runs beautifully; better than 7, especially with new gear supporting 8/8.1, like a UEFI BIOS.

Windows 10 Pro X64
I use 8 at work every day. Haven't tried 8.1 but I know the shortcuts for 8 and do not find it to be bad. I still use 7 at home, no need to upgrade from it

Users have complained about every Windows major upgrade since 3.0. W95 was ragged pretty bad, as was Vista (deserved). I see MS is extending XP's EOL for one more year to 04-2015, I think. Security updates only.
The more I use 8/8.1 the more I like it, it's the fastest Windows by far.

Yesterday was the start of the 2017 Clerkenwell Design Week, which is in fact 3 days... but don't let that stop you from attending. As they say in their own literature it's a jam-packed design jamboree and they are not wrong. I started out the morning joining the official press event, which included a tour of the major stops and installations. With over 90 showrooms taking part and 7 temporary exhibition spaces plus a series of commissioned installations, this 8th edition of Clerkenwell Design week has a lot to offer. Following on from last years improvements signage and routes are incredibly well laid having been designed by specialist way-finding design agency Space Agency so that you don't get lost in the warren-like streets of the City fringes.
So what caught my attention from my crisscross tour across Clerkenwell yesterday?

Some people here don't think that that was a good idea. Do you think this war needs one more black guy with no hair on his head blasting with a Kalashnikov? It's a sectarian war and don't let anyone tell you that it's not. If they tell you that it's not, they don't know or they are lying. We have arrived, we are out, we are out! Wooooo, apples! If the two sides decide that the only way forward is to just launch strikes on each other, then that is just what they decided to do. But a good cup of tea and some dialogue never hurt nobody.feedback

Tennessee Titans Coach Mike Munchak fired offensive coordinator Mike Heimerdinger and two other assistants Tuesday as he starts to remake his coaching staff a day after taking over the top job.
Heimerdinger, who is continuing cancer treatment after diagnosed in November, confirmed to the Associated Press that he had been fired. The Titans released a statement a couple hours later that Munchak also had told defensive assistant Rayna Stewart and offensive assistant Richie Wessman that they would not be retained.
The Titans gave Munchak the freedom to keep or hire anyone he wants and he promised changes when he was introduced on Monday. He let go the coordinator who was the second coach interviewed to replace Jeff Fisher. Munchak said it wasn't an easy move involving a man he respects as an innovative offensive mind and for how he has fought cancer.
The Titans' offense struggled in 2010, ranking 27th in the NFL in total yards per game (302.1) and 25th in yards passing (194.2).

Water conservation not only saves the world's water supply, it also saves you money! By changing your daily routine slightly you can save money by saving water. Here are some simple tips to help you with water conservation.
This first tip is pretty obvious but is ignored by a lot of people. Turn off your taps! When you're shaving, brushing your teeth, washing your face etc. Letting the water run is wasteful so turn it off until its needed.
Installing a water aerator in your faucets will conserve about 5 to 10 gallons of water per person a day. Water aerators are inexpensive and can be found at most hardware stores.
Make sure you are washing full loads in the dishwasher and when doing laundry.
Don't use your toilet as a waste basket.
Water lawns and plants in the early morning or at dusk. This will ensure the plants are getting the most of the water dispensed with as little evaporation as possible.
Ensure you have no leaking pipes, toilets or faucets.
These are simple tips that will help reduce the consumption of water in your home. Making small changes make a big impact.
Some areas in Hamilton have been affected with basement flooding because of the severe storms this city has been hit with in the past year. Many residential property owners have experienced flood damage in their basements due to sewer surcharge. For homeowners that are proactively making improvements to their home to prevent this flooding from reoccurring the Protective Plumbing Program has been implemented. For residential property owners who qualify, this means a grant of up to $2000 is available for those replacing their backwater valve or sump pumps. For more information visit www.5stinky.com
Ladies and gentlemen, today is World Plumbing Day and though it is not yet recognized in every city we have confidence that it will sweep the nation. After all, plumbers are a vital part of keeping every community running smoothly. We are committed to helping society with all of their plumbing issues, no matter how stinky they may be. So if you know a plumber today, show your appreciation and spread the word about World Plumbing Day! Without us, you would have to deal with your stinky situations alone!
We've seen and experienced some REAL plumbing messes in our 65 year history. You wouldn't believe some of the things we've found in people's drains, pipes, toilets, etc.
That said, this is one of the ghastliest remodeling/plumbing nightmares I've ever seen… Martha Stewart, Colin & Justin, eat your heart out…
It's -20 something across Southern Ontario. You've just come in from shoveling snow… you're cold… bitter and in pain from slipping on a few ice patches underneath the snow… and all you can think about is getting into a nice warm bath or shower. It's going to be so relaxing.
Ooops, wait, you can't… you've got a bigger problem, your pipes have frozen.
If you open a faucet and no water comes out, don't take any chances. Call a plumber. If a water pipe bursts, turn off the water at the main shut-off valve (usually at the water meter or where the main line enters the house); leave the faucet(s) open until repairs are completed. Don't try to thaw a frozen pipe with an open flame, as this will damage the pipe and may even start a building fire. You might be able to thaw a pipe with a hand-held hair dryer. Slowly apply heat, starting close to the faucet end of the pipe, with the faucet open. Work toward the coldest section, and good luck.
Sigh… and it's only early February! 😦
Forget about watching Mike Roe and the World's Dirtiest Jobs… we're going to give you a glimpse into that world right here in this blog! Yes, the plumbing business can be a crappy one (no pun intended), and yes, it's a stinky business, but we love it.
Thos R Birnie & Sons has been servicing the Hamilton, Halton, and Niagara regions, in addition to the Tri-Cities for over 65 years! We provide the kind of service you would expect from a family business, built on honesty, hard work, and integrity.
We'll update this blog regularly with questions & answers from the "Stink Link", plumbing tips, maybe throw in a couple of horror stories for shock and awe! For you fans of DIY, this is one blog you'll want to subscribe to!

Mary Peters Trust provides majority of our Team GB and Team Ireland athletes with funding for Olympic games in Rio
Northern Ireland's leading sports charity has also provided financial support for half of local competitors taking part at the Paralympic Games.
Over eighty percent of athletes from Northern Ireland who are competing for Team GB and Team Ireland at this summer's Olympic Games in Brazil have received funding from the Mary Peters Trust.
The sports charity has financially supported 25 of the 30 athletes from across the province taking part at the Games.
Among the Team GB athletes to receive funding, are rowers Alan Campbell, Richard Chambers and Peter Chambers, hockey players Ian Sloan and Iain Lewers and archer Patrick Huston.
Team Ireland boxers Michael Conlan, Paddy Barnes and Steven Donnelly and six members of the Ireland hockey team, including Peter Caruth, Eugene Magee and Michael Watt are also beneficiaries.
The Mary Peters Trust is also funding half of the athletes from Northern Ireland who are competing at the Paralympic Games. They include triple gold Paralympic runner Michael McKillop who is representing Team Ireland and Team GB's gold medal winning Paralympic swimmer Bethany Firth.
Dame Mary Peters CH. DBE said: "The Trust is committed to furthering the development of young sportsmen and women throughout Northern Ireland and opening up as many opportunities to further their sporting careers.
"We are delighted to see so many athletes from Northern Ireland competing at this year's Games.
"Competing professionally for many athletes wouldn't be possible without the financial aid and support they receive through the Trust. We are delighted that the Mary Peters Trust is able to reward these athletes for their achievements and help them to reach their full potential.
"Good luck to all athletes in Rio, we are very proud of you."
Archer Patrick Huston has received funding from the Mary Peters Trust. He said: "I've had success at World Junior level but competing against the world's best at the Olympics requires even more time and dedication. Funding from the Mary Peters Trust has helped me train full time and have access to some of the best coaching and facilities in the world.
"My dream is to return home from Brazil with a medal and if I do, I know a part of that success will be down to the support from the Mary Peters Trust."
The Mary Peters Trust, has launched a campaign, titled 'Mary's Race to a Million', which aims to raise a million pounds so the charity can continue to financially support young sportsmen and women across Northern Ireland, for years to come.
Over the past four decades, the Mary Peters Trust has supported thousands of athletes, both able bodied and disabled, to help realise their sporting dreams.
Dame Mary, who famously won Pentathlon gold at the Munich 1972 Games, added: "Sport has given so much throughout my life but my dream now is to see the stars of tomorrow realise their ambitions. Many young athletes dream of sporting greatness but few achieve it! And that's why we started Mary's Race to a Million. I want to know that long after I'm gone, the Trust will continue to fund the sporting generations of tomorrow.
"The Olympics provide the ultimate stage for the athletes of today. We believe the Games will inspire the athletes of tomorrow and when they take that journey, we will be there to support them every step of the way."
Over the next three years, The Mary Peters Trust will be running a variety of fundraising campaigns aimed at getting people across Northern Ireland involved.
The Mary Peters Trust has funded 25 athletes representing Team GB & NI and Team Ireland at the Olympic Games.

Full Details
Peninsula Aquariums unlock a whole new possibility of aquascapes and layout within the aquarium. The three-sided viewing experience gives you two long sides to spectate through, effectively doubling the viewing area. Use the tank to separate rooms, desktops, or other counter space bringing energy and life to any space. Just add your favorite lighting, heater, sand, and rock (we like using fiji or branch rock) to have a beautiful saltwater reef tank up and running in no time.
Water flows through the built-in surface skimming overflow into the included filter sock that will remove large free-floating particles, keeping them out of your return pump and other filtration components. Water then will flow through the skimmer/media reactor chamber and over the final baffle into the return pump compartment to be pushed back into the aquarium.
Adding a media reactor or protein skimmer will enhance your filtration and lets you tailor it to the specific corals or fish you will be keeping.
Overall Dimensions - 12" L x 20" W x 13" H
Filter Sock Compartment - 2.8" L x 2.75" W
Skimmer/Media Reactor Compartment - 4" L x 2.75" W
Glass Thickness - 6mm
Return Pump Flow - 211 GPH
Power Consumption - 11W @ 120 VAC
Volume - 14 Gallons
What's Included?

Teen Wolf fans can breathe a huge sigh of relief: Dylan O'Brien is officially returning for Teen Wolf Season 6 following a major injury on the set of the third Maze Runner film, The Death Cure. Dylan will be back and better than ever as Stiles Stilinski — which no doubt is the best news Teen Wolf fans have ever heard.
The injury was said to be mostly in his facial region, and caused 20th Century Fox to postpone filming indefinitely to allow Dylan to thoroughly heal and get some much needed rest.
Fans of Teen Wolf have been concerned that Dylan's injury would prevent him from returning to Teen Wolf and leave too many unanswered questions for his character for the season to work without him. Stiles is a fan-favorite, and losing him would have been devastating to the show.
Teen Wolf showrunner Jeff Davis promised lots of Stiles in Season 6, teasing some resolution to his almost-relationship with Lydia (together they form the beloved ship called Stydia) and more detail into his friendship with Scott. He told EW:
"Stiles is a big part of the season because a lot of this season's mystery revolves around him. We're going to see just what Stiles' friendship means to Scott, Lydia, and Malia. We're going to see why exactly he's Scott's best friend, what it means that he's Malia's human anchor, and what his will-they-or-won't-they relationship is with Lydia."
Okay, not going to lie, that last part about Stydia has me squealing. We've waited six season people! The photo released by EW of O'Brien is from the premiere of Teen Wolf Season 6, however it was taken before Dylan went to film Death Cure. Davis also notes the brace on his wrist will be explained in the first episode, and is not related to his Maze Runner accident. No word on Dylan's current status in healing with his injury, but it certainly is good to hear he won't be absent from what may be Teen Wolf's most important season yet.
Last season left Scott and Stiles relationship strained, but Tyler Posey assured EW that Scott and Stiles are still "very in love with each other."
Sounds like things will be just as they should be — as long as Stiles and Lydia finally admit their feelings for each-other that is. Teen Wolf Season 6 will return in the fall on MTV. Can't wait, and get well soon Dylan!

How Our Daily Routine List Helps Us to Stay on Track
Beverley Paine, 1999
Most people don't really understand how a well rounded education can grow out of a full and busy life without structuring in some daily 'educational' activity. I can't separate education and life anymore - everything we all do is educational in some way. The trick is to 'see' it. I learned how to recognise the educational value of everyday activity by thorough record keeping in the early years of home learning.
Lists are an important tool I use to help organise and record our home educating life. They help us to stay on track and to feel reassured that the kids are getting a well-rounded education.
This my 'to do' list for today, mapped out a few minutes ago as I drink my morning cuppa. Most days I write a list of things we want to get done or begin working on and everyone adds to it. This list writing is essential, if we are to get what we want done completed - otherwise we can't keep on top of our needs and wants!
Writing the list is actually goal setting, if you think about it. When the lads get up (they are still in bed) they will add to the list, and Robin has gone to work for the day.
The list isn't in any order - we usually do what we feel like and simply aim to get as much done.
Most days look something like this. We usually never finish everything on the list and some things are pushed over into the next day and so on. When Robin is home we focus less on computer based activity and get out and about more, often enjoying a picnic lunch and walk down the beach or national park. Every Thursday we go to Adelaide where Roger does Circus training with his friend Dan, and we visit with our April.
It's a full and busy life, with plenty of learning opportunities occuring across the 'curriculum areas'. There are never enough hours in each day. Next year I hope to squeeze study in professional communication and writing into this busy lifestyle, and I'm always open to the guys picking up some tertiary level subjects if they feel inclined - we'd make room in our daily schedule, somehow! But for now we simply immerse ourselves in those things that excite us and confront us resulting from everyday life!

In truth, we had helped them learn what they need to learn as they grew and explored and discovered this amazing world since the moment they were born.

Owned since new?
Owned for how long?
6 year(s)
Buy this make again?
Price and equipment8.0/10
I bought this car 6 years ago for $5000 and it has been worth every cent. Equipment levels are basic, the standard Toyota AM/FM radio is poor, but functional, but at the same time very easy to replace. For the money you get a truly capable 4WD that has the practicality of a wagon.
Under the bonnet8.0/10
The non-turbo 2.4 litre diesel engine is no performance engine, but the car happily cruises at highway speeds and comes into it's own element off road where the torque characteristics of the diesel make it ideal for any 4WD condition. City and highways driving both return between 450 and 550 km per tank (55 l).
How it drives10.0/10
I love the handling of this 4WD. Having driven many newer 4WDs, I find myself always comparing their ride and handling to my 4Runner. Sure it is slower off the mark, but speed isn't everything. This car handles twists and turns with poise and grace and never feels unsettled. The brakes (non ABS) have a firm feel and have always given everything that has been asked of them.
Comfort and practicality8.0/10
OK, it's a 2 door wagon, but as most driving has been myself and maybe 1 passenger, this has not been an issue. 5 can be seated comfortably, and the split rear seat adds to the flexibility. With the rear seats folded flat, their is an enormous luggage area. In the summer months you have the option to remove the FRP roof - a simple process removing some trim and a dozen or so bolts. Topless, this car attracts attention.
Servicing and running costs8.0/10
Belonging to the Hilux family, the 4Runner is well placed for spare parts and affordable service costs. The diesel motor is unbreakable and through occasional neglect, and lack of servicing, has proved at times to be indestructable. Fuel economy is good, with between 450 and 550 km per tank, and there is very little difference between a fully loaded vehicle and a near empty one.
Aesthetics and styling8.0/10
I love the styling of this 4WD. Sure, it's not in line with the modern rounded shapes used now, but this 4WD was built for taking off road and getting down and dirty. The vinyl lining in the rear makes it easy to hose out the back after a muddy 4WD trip, while the cloth seats are cool and comfortable all year round and easy to keep clean.
Safety and security6.0/10
There are no advanced safety features in this car, however, the doors lock securely and noone has broken into it while I have owned it. A locking glove box would have been nice, particularly when the roof has been removed. On the road the car has always felt safe and the handling is superb for a 4WD with a high centre of gravity.
Quality and reliability10.0/10
This car is built to last. Toyota have a solid reputation for building reliable cars and this is no exception. My car has done 370,000 km and is still running strong. My only fault with the car is the paintwork. Toyota's late 80's red paint seems to have a habit of fading and peeling as I have noticed this on similar 4Runners. Still, nothing a new coat of paint wouldn't fix.
Overall verdict8.0/10
I love this 4WD. Although not for everyone with its slower non turbo diesel, if you are looking for a truly capable off road vehicle and a car comfortable enough to cruise the bitumen between your off road ventures, this car is a serious contender for your dollars. 5 people can ride in comfort, or 2 people and a LOT of gear in the back. The handling is superb both on and off road. I would buy this car again in preference to much newer more expensive so called 4WDs.

Inviting opinions about use of ipad (or ipad mini) for extended writing (compared with writing on a laptop/notebook)?
I am a writer with an older model Macbook Pro, considering an more portable and lightweight option for writing.
I suspect my best option is a Macbook Air or the new lighter (solid state) Macbook Pro with retina display, (neither of which I am ready to buy at the moment, since my older (2010) macbook pro is still going strong with its new 750 GB HD, purchased end of '12). Very likely, I will be purchasing one of the above in a year or two.
In the meantime, I wonder about going really portable and lightweight with something in the ipad family. I am concerned that if I wind up getting a keyboard anyway, I might as well have a laptop. Not sure how effective and potentially how tiring it would be to write on the touch keypad.
Would welcome opinions from those who do a lot of writing.

Hi everybody!
I thought I would do my semester class descriptions. First, I'm going to start with my other obligations:
- Student Teaching: I still can't believe I'm actually student teaching! I'm graduating early thanks to my A.P. credits, overambitious class-taking freshman year, and an advisor who does her best to help kids avoid the crushing weight of student loans. Therefore, I'm actually a first-semester senior (wait, what? Wasn't I in high school last month?), and am doing my first of two semesters of student teaching. I'm not going to post too much about my placement here for privacy/career reasons, but I will say I am loving it so far!
- Work: I still work as an America Reads tutor at the same school I've been at since 2012. This year, I got kindergarteners! These magical and adorable little munchkin bubbies are the light of my life. They give me so. Many. Smiles. And some excellent quotes!
- Volunteering?: Andrey and I both desperately want to have multiple four-footed creatures around the house, but our lease prevents us from getting any. We're going to apply to volunteer at the local ASPCA (a convenient block from our apartment) when their next round of orientations and interviews start in late March. I worked at one Boston location in high school and loved it.
So now, on to classes! I'm happy to say that a month into the semester, I am so invested in every single class (and I MAJOR HEART two professors in particular). It's such a great feeling to know that each class and assignment is legitimately valuable and helping me become a better teacher. So, without further ado:
- Integrating Students with Disabilities in the General Education Classroom (4): Our professor, Sharon, is a former principal from district 75 (the district dedicated to special education-only schools). In this class, we learn about how to best accommodate students with a wide variety of special needs as general education teachers. It's really helpful, especially considering so many of my kindergarteners have special needs, and Sharon is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. It's also nice having classes with fewer than ten students - you get to know everybody so well.
- Integrating History & Literature with Adolescents (4): There's something ridiculously charming about a professor who only wears green and blue clothes and has no filter. This class is so fun! Most of it revolves around a team project - for five weeks, my group, which includes two other students, independently teach a unit we developed. Rebecca, our professor, used to supervise student teachers, so she gives amazing feedback on our lessons. Not only do I feel myself improving my lesson planning habits and instructional techniques everyday, but I can also tell you more than you ever wanted to know about badass pioneer women and their important legacy to the suffrage movement and first wave feminism. This class is especially helpful because I'm currently student teaching the seventh grade in a double period English/social studies mashup classroom (Humanities, which is more elegantly named than its science/math counterpart, SMath... yup, it's actually called SMath, Google it!). I've made some new friends, too! My other four classes are almost exclusively with the same social studies education majors (there are a whopping fifteen of us across all four years). While five of them in particular are friends I adore, it's also nice to meet new people from the English education track. Ah, the advantages of single-digit student count classes.
- Key Debates in U.S. History, Post-1865 (4): I knew I would like this class right away, because the professor, Diana, is a good friend of my favorite professor last semester, and generally a very accomplished scholar in the social studies ed field. Rather than do a general survey course about US history, Diana chose to examine specific points of contention, beginning with the failures of post-Civil War Reconstruction efforts. It's super interesting, and with eight students (five of whom are the social studies buddies I mentioned), we can have really great discussions.
- Student Teaching Seminar (4): This seminar is the counterpart to our student teaching placement. Because I'm a first-semester senior, I have reduced responsibilities in my placement (for example, I don't take over my class section as the main teacher for a few more weeks, whereas my second-semester friends already have). We discuss the practical dilemmas of student teaching, including curriculum, co-teaching, and class management. The instructor, Maura, teaches history in NYPS and completed NYU's teacher preparation program (her current student teacher is also a friend of mine), so she's super helpful. She's also very knowledgeable about the ridiculously long and complicated certification process, which I've already had to begin, despite not graduating for another ten months. With a whopping twenty or so students (it includes all of the Masters social studies education majors), it's my largest class!
- Integrating Media & Technology in the Classroom (1): This little 1-credit course is so much fun. It only runs for six weeks, of which we've already completed four. Nonetheless, I have learned quite a bit; I thought I was pretty knowledgeable about educational technology, but the professor, Sava, has totally opened my eyes to some really cool resources! I'm actually pretty sad for this class to end. I think NYU should make it a 4-credit option, and not just because Sava could be a stand-up comedian!
As you may have noticed, I have no fewer than three classes nicknamed "Integrating." My planner can get very confusing! Speaking of my planner...
My beloved 2013-2014 planner, filled with freshman career musings, sophomore European adventures, and junior early graduation glee, has retired. Unfortunately I'm suuuper picky about the size and format of my yearly planner. But after searching since December, I finally found one that is perfect! Behold, my adorable new planner:
For $22, you can choose the cover print, the page type/layout, and words or a monogram for the front; I scored this one for $12 because it was predesigned. I don't work for them or anything - May Designs is just amazing, and beloved by organizational junkies everywhere!
So there you have it - my semester, in a nutshell. With the 35 hours I spend at student teaching and work alone, it's kind of like being a full-time TA and full-time student simultaneously, but I legitimately love every bit of it.
Let me know what you'd like to hear about in upcoming posts, and thanks for sticking with this one through to the end!
Stay warm,

Demian Maia is looking to lock up a title shot at UFC 198, but in order to make that case, he'll have to get by one of the toughest and most dangerous welterweights in the game.
That welterweight is Matt "The Immortal" Brown, who has gone 8-2 in hist last 10 fights and is ranked #8 at 170. The only men to defeat Brown during that time are the champion Robbie Lawler and former champ Johny Hendricks. Both men won via the judge's scorecards. No shame in that.
During that time, Brown has finished 7 opponents; that's right, 7. The only fighter, aside from Hendricks and Lawler that made it to the final bell was Stephen Thompson. Thus, this is likely why Maia recently told MMA Junkie.com Radio the following (quote via MMA Junkie.com):
"He's probably the most aggressive striker I've ever fought," Maia said. "He looks to hurt you, looks to come forward all the time. He's the guy who will try to win every single minute from the beginning of the fight. I will be in a war Saturday night."
Yup. Brown isn't an easy out for an fighter, and neither is Maia, which is one of the reasons this fight is so compelling.
Maia, of course, has been busy silencing those who wrote his championship aspirations off back in 2014. Maia was decisioned by Jake Shields and Rory MacDonald in consecutive fights. But since then, Maia has won four straight, and most recently scored one sided wins over Neil Magny and Gunnar Nelson. Both of these men had now answers for the jiu-jitsu of Maia, including the latter, who is a ridiculously talented grappler in his own right.
UFC 198 will be hosted by Curitiba, Brazil. In the main event, heavyweight champ Fabricio Werdum will battle Stipe Miocic.

Grattitude bus roams O.B.
Ex-tech guy puts on the Peter, Paul & Mary and explains his dreamy mission
Delinda Lombardo 8 a.m., Nov. 21
(Page 2 of 8)
She says she ended up living with friends of her godmother: a young couple and their two older relatives. After two months, these people "kind of forgot" about charging anything for Leticia's room and board, she says. "They were a very united family," she offered by way of explanation. She helped with babysitting, household chores, and the family's business of selling clothing, and the young woman found Leticia a birth certificate that had belonged to an acquaintance. "She told me to take good care of it because people pay up to 1500 pesos for a real birth certificate like that." Leticia later moved in with another friend of this family, an older woman who lived alone and wanted someone to help her out. Armed with the birth certificate, Leticia got a job working in a factory that churned out bronze angels, gorillas, and soldiers. She says she was happy there; her coworkers were friendly. In all, her sojourn in Tijuana lasted about a year.
"Why didn't you stay?" I asked. "It sounds as though you were doing well."
"Because I wanted to study," Leticia replied. She thought her best chance of doing that would be north of the border. She planned to work until she'd saved up the $2000 she'd been told it would cost to hire a dependable smuggler. The ill-fated scheme to drive across the border arose suddenly -- the result of a chance encounter with a stranger on the street. This man gave her a false border-crossing card, along with advice that she later rued following. "He told me if I was caught I should never tell my age, my real name, or where I was from, or I would have more problems. He told me to say that I was Mexican and an adult -- so they would deport me back to Mexico."
Things didn't work out that way. Leticia says the immigration officers at the secondary inspection station insulted her, using crude obscenities. Under their questioning, she admitted that the name on the border-crossing card wasn't hers. Instead she gave the officers the name on the Mexican birth certificate she'd been using in Tijuana. Then a couple of Latino officers began bombarding her with questions about Mexico. "And I didn't know some of them," she recalled. She couldn't sing the national anthem or explain the significance of the symbols on the Mexican flag. When they demanded that she tell them the proper cooking time for pozole, Leticia guessed it was an hour and a half, but the officers told her any Mexican woman would know it was at least two and a half hours. She had flunked the test. "I cried all night long," she said.
The consequence of lying about her age was that Leticia was sent to a prison. Operated by the Corrections Corporation of America, the prison is located in a desolate section of Otay Mesa, just down the road from the county's George F. Bailey Detention Facility and across a ravine from Donovan state prison. CCA, as people call it, houses men and women who are being deported -- some because they've been caught trying to enter the U.S. too many times; some seeking asylum; others dangerous criminals. Under no circumstances are juveniles supposed to be incarcerated there. But it took Leticia two months to realize this and obtain legal aid. Only after a cousin in her hometown sent a copy of her birth certificate to the immigration office did she finally win a transfer to Southwest Key.
"That was one of my happiest days," Leticia told me. She said Southwest Key was "a thousand times" better than CCA. In CCA the inmates were forced to work and received little or no compensation. No one had any privacy. Personal letters were read aloud in public. But once again, Leticia's response to the bad memories was acquiescence. "It was not agreeable," she said. "But I feel like that's what I get for lying." And on the bright side, "I got to meet people from a lot of other parts of the world."
She could have said the same about Southwest Key. From a balcony that overlooks the interior courtyard where we talked hang flags representing the nationalities of the children who have stayed at this facility over the last six years. There are 38 countries in all, among them Guatemala, Korea, Poland, Afghanistan, Brazil, Israel, Spain, the Philippines, Colombia, Ecuador, Ethiopia, the United Kingdom, China, Paraguay, Honduras, and Iraq. Although Mexico's flag is present, Mexican children seldom are housed here. When they're caught, the Border Patrol returns most of them to Tijuana (close to 3000 a year, according to the local Mexican consulate office). Unlike their adult counterparts, the Mexican kids are not just dumped at the pedestrian gate in San Ysidro. Both U.S. and Mexican officials go to some lengths to make sure each child is delivered into the hands of a responsible relative.
Most of the youngsters from other nations who are sent to Southwest Key are "sad and depressed" upon their arrival, according to Ismael Avilez. Many harbor thoughts of escaping. But only one adolescent has done so in the three years during which Avilez has been the facility's program director. That's not because of draconian security measures. Doors are locked, and staff members keep a close eye on the residents, but Avilez says the main deterrent is that the children enjoy life at Southwest Key. "They're usually sad and depressed when they leave."
It's easy to understand why. The ceiling of the inner courtyard is painted sky blue with puffy white clouds. Strong colors brighten walls, and overstuffed furniture encourages daydreaming. The chambers where the kids sleep resemble dorm rooms, while the living room holds a big-screen TV, a Sony PlayStation, and a bank of computers. "We don't give them too much TV time," said Avilez, " 'cause we like to keep them active." Most engage in an hour of structured physical exercise per day, and all the kids are required to work in a large organic garden located in one section of the sprawling property. They're shepherded on weekly educational trips to places like the zoo and Cabrillo National Monument, as well as on more purely recreational outings. "Like for example last Sunday they wanted to go see Shrek 2," Avilez said. "The interesting thing is that a good part of the adolescents throughout the world enjoy American culture and movies. So they know about Shrek. They enjoyed Shrek 2. They're still talking about it."

Carolyn Hax: Due to changes, you're moving on
Wed., June 23, 2010
Dear Carolyn: My girlfriend of one year and I recently broke up. She said it's because she needs to learn to be on her own two feet, because she hopped from one relationship to the next and never learned to be happy on her own, and because I need to grow up because I'm still acting like a senior in high school.
I am currently making changes – further schooling, stopping drinking, now acting my age, and removing all unneeded stuff from my life. She says there "might" be a chance of an "us" again, and I would be her first choice when she wants a relationship again, so basically I'm wondering if waiting for her is a waste of my time. Should I just move on? –D.
If wising up, cleaning up and growing up are your version of waiting, then, please, keep waiting.
Ideally, your hopes of getting your ex back will work like training wheels, and keep you upright long enough for you to get the hang of productivity for its own sake. When that happens, waiting or not waiting for her will be a moot point.
Until then, the chief pitfall you face is losing your motivation before you're ready to ride on your own – or, in other words, abandoning your hopes for the relationship, and ditching your self-improvement project along with them.
So I'll phrase this as carefully as I can: With the kind of epiphany your girlfriend had, and the kind of changes you're making, there's virtually no chance the two of you will find yourselves back where you were a year ago.
That is, however, a very good thing. You're both doing work you both believe is necessary. That will take you someplace better, whether you end up there together or not.

It's been awhile since I have blogged! I didn't blog any of my 60 weddings from 2015, I was convinced I'd have my new website ready and therefore decided to save everything for that. However, of course with websites they take much longer then expected. So back to blogging I go!
Lisa and David were the sweetest couple from Ireland, they decided to road trip around California and elope in Big Sur. Glen Oaks couldn't have been a more perfect fit for their elopement, their Redwood ceremony was full of laughter, love and beautiful light.

Pat Spillane says Mayo should switch Aidan O'Shea to full forward for next Sunday's All-Ireland SFC final against Dublin.
After manning the full back position in the drawn and replayed All-Ireland semi-final against Kerry, the versatile Breaffy clubman is expected to move out the field next weekend and Spillane reckons Mayo would be best served by starting him on the edge of the square.
"Stephen Rochford doesn't get the credit he deserves as a coach," Spillane wrote in his Sunday World column.
"Remember, he was at the helm when Corofin, playing a wonderful brand of football, won the All-Ireland club title."
"Rochford's decision to switch Aidan O'Shea to full back in the drawn semi-final could have backfired. In the face of over-the-top criticism he persisted with the tactic in the replay, but there were subtle changes. O'Shea played for spells at midfield, which enabled him to get on the ball. This forced Kieran Donaghy on the backfoot and allowed O'Shea to play the game on his terms.
"I would play Aidan O'Shea at full forward because if there is a weakness in this Dublin team it is in the full back line. Allow O'Shea to drift out to midfield at times, but don't leave him isolated on the edge of the square as they did in 2015."

Diesel carbon content per gallon: 2,778 grams
Clean Diesel as the "green alternative"
When I was in
The other factor that was different in
The second Diesel that I rented, a VW Golf, was not as positive experience, as I was involved in a crash with it that my have been partially attributed to a lack of punch (and of course my driver judgment). Diesels are simply not that quick from standing start, and I wonder if American drivers will accept these cars because of this. The fact that electrics have such high torque and are so fast from standing start may make them the long-term favorite in the American market. We are a 0-60 nation of drivers.
Another shortcoming of the older Diesels was their difficulties in starting in cold temperatures. European climates are more moderate that that of the most northerly states. However, since the migration of some many Americans to the Sun Belt, I doubt that will be a major issue in marketing these cars. Additionally, Americans still have the memory of Diesel buses and large trucks with their dirty exhaust fumes, and so the German car makers are going to have to overcome a historical legacy. We all remember getting behind a dirty bus.
There is no doubt that since the first auto Diesel was marketed by M-B in 1935 – and especially the importation M-B and VW Diesels beginning in the late 1960s, that there were great advantages to these cars. Above all, they are incredibly rugged engines, and are durable well beyond a comparable ICE. They are relatively simple. But because of the need for thicker cylinder walls, and expensive injection pump mechanisms, they are also more expensive to make.
Finally, for some Americans green means getting away from any fuel combustion system. Even though electricity is a product of fossil fuel burning, electric cars are one step beyond the sight of a consumer. If the pollution is out of sight, perhaps it is also out of mind.


text: We've never done Cape May and we've only done Akershus for lunch and dinner. Obviously, one is a princess meal and the other is not, but it's really more of the # of characters and convenience factors that have me leaning towards Akershus. We'd be going to Epcot the day we do this one...and while Cape May is in the Epcot area, Akershus would obviously put us right in the park. It's probably not the most convenient spot for making the run for Soarin' FPs, but I still think it would put us in a better position. Or am I wrong? Maybe this will sound petty, but everything I've read about Cape May only lists 3 characters at the meal. Considering all of the other character meals at WDW that we've done have either 4 or 5 characters- I feel like it could be a bit of a let down only having 3...i.e. will my kids be asking "who else are we going to meet?" - just to be disappointed? Or is the character interaction of the 3 far superior to a meal w/4 or 5 characters? Food isn't a huge concern since it's breakfast and only once have I had a character breakfast that was borderline vile and disgusting; however, I guess it would be good to hear which has better food. We really like Akershus for lunch and dinner, but I know breakfast is more generic. So, I guess any opinions on food quality and offerings would also be appreciated.

iFEM: an innovative finite element methods package in MATLAB. Sparse matrixlization, an innovative programming style for MATLAB, is introduced and used to develop an efficient software package, iFEM, on adaptive finite element methods. In this novel coding style, the sparse matrix and its operation is used extensively in the data structure and algorithms. Our main algorithms are written in one page long with compact data structure following the style "Ten digit, five seconds, and one page" proposed by Trefethen. The resulting code is simple, readable, and efficient. A unique strength of iFEM is the ability to perform three dimensional local mesh refinement and two dimensional mesh coarsening which are not available in existing MATLAB packages. Numerical examples indicate thatiFEM can solve problems with size 105 unknowns in few seconds in a standard laptop. iFEM can let researchers considerably reduce development time than traditional programming method

Garda doles out points to misbehaving child cyclists
A Meath garda was so fed up receiving public complaints about kids on bikes, she decided to dole out penalty points to the young cyclists.
Community Garda Ashling Connor introduced the feared points system as part of her own safer cycling scheme, which is about to be rolled out in Ashbourne and other areas nationwide.
Under the novel programme, children from fourth class upwards receive their own 'driving licence' and registration plate for the bike, but they face getting slapped with penalty points if they don't follow three golden rules.
"If they don't wear a helmet, follow the safe cross code and dismount from their bikes before entering school grounds, they get a penalty point," Gda Connor explained.
She teamed up with Meath Co Council's Road Safety Officer Mick Finnegan for the initiative, which is also supported by the Road Safety Authority and Eurolink. All children first undertake a safer cycling course before they get their clean licence.
"Both children and their parents have to sign contracts saying they'll adhere to the rules before they receive their licence and registration number plate," Gda Connor said.
"The cyclists are scrutinised by the bike police, which are chosen school pupils, and any child that breaks the rules gets a penalty point. This means they don't get a reward at the end of the year, so you can imagine they take it very seriously."
Over 300 pupils have completed the programme since it was introduced at Ratoath NS and St Paul's NS in Ratoath last year, and it has proved so successful that Gda Connor and Mr Finnegan plan to extend it into other schools in Ashbourne.
They also hope to introduce the safety course to younger students to teach them good habits.
"It's amazing how many children cycle without helmets or without reflective jackets. It's like learning to wear a seat belt, the earlier you get used to it the better chance it will form a habit for life."
Mr Finnegan said: "This initiative has been hugely successful because the children themselves are driving it. It's the peer pressure from the students that are making sure they all keep their licences clean."
The programme has been so well-received that community gardai and other schools across the country are keen to roll it out.
And, since the scheme was introduced, Gda Connor's phone is no longer so busy.
"Complaints used to be about cyclists on footpaths or disregarding pedestrians and motorists. Callers were also worried they would be hurt in accidents by their cycling behaviour.
"Since this started, I haven't had one more complaint," she laughed.

Can you believe the holidays are already upon us?
I say this every year, I know.
I love gift giving. Spending time finding the "perfect" gift for friends and family is fun for me; however, I know it can be stressful. Some people seem to have everything!
As such, I've been keeping a list of some of the more unique gift ideas I've had lately. Ya know, in case you guys need some help too!

Such a big milestone like turning 40 deserves a big show and XL is just that but its so much more. The idea was to celebrate Peacocks heritage and history but to also keep one eye on the future too, not an easy task. But through curating an exhibition of specially commisioned pieces from some of Peacocks most renowned artists but also including works created throughout 2014 by various artists through in the Peacocks print studio has led to a greatest hits collection. And I have to say a year in the life of Peacocks print studio is pretty damn good looking!
Work comes from staples like Ralph Steadman and Frances Walker but also new additions from Adam Bridgland, William Moulding and Satterugly add a contemporary twist to the show along with one of Peacocks biggest collaborations to date with Below Another Sky artists adding work to the show, not to mention the incredible meachanical peacock created by the MAKE Lab! It can be easy to forget how much time and energy has gone into keeping Peacocks going but its shows like this that make it all worthwhile. Its a comprehensive show and certainly gives a great overview of where Peacocks has come from and also where its going and it looks pretty good.
XL will be on display until mid January but you can pick up one of the special laser cut postcard sets featuring work from the exhibition for £10 in the gallery and some print editions have also been made available via the new Peacocks Online Print Shop here so be sure to check em out and maybe add a little piece of the Peacocks legacy to your own home!
Happy Birthday Peacocks.

The threat of rain kept me off the bike today. I received my wheels for the Catrike that I wrecked last month. I was able to take a quick spin and it rides great with the new wheels but the derailluer keeps jumping so I think the rear derailluer is going to have to be replaced.
Hopefully tomorrow I will be able to find a LBS that has a derailluer in stock. I'm really anxious to see how it really does with the new wheels.
yesterday I went for a short 10 mile ride with my wife and today did a 27 mile loop that was full of hills. My legs are just wore out tonight. May do a short recovery ride tomorrow.
well it's been quite a while since I've updated this thread. I have been riding consistently 3-4 days a week. Clothes are starting to fit different, I've had to adjust the seatbelt in my old jeep with a lap belt seatbelt, and had to tighten up yet another notch on the belt. I haven't weighed in a couple of weeks and may hold off for a bit more(trying not to be too obsessed with the number).
As far as the cycling goes it really just seems in the past week or two that I have finally gotten in a groove with it. In other words now I still feel good when I get off the bike, taking no rest stops out of necessity and on days where I ride with my wife for a recovery ride my heart rate stays down. Not to mention now it's become fun to ride again. I've spent some time "micro-adjusting" the setups on the bikes with seat/handlebar angles and feel like they are getting very close to where they should be.
I'm going to a recumbent rally in August. Right now I'm concentrating on riding as much as possible and trying to increase my fitness.
just thought I would start adding to this thread. It's been a while since I regularly updated it.
I attended a Recumbent Rally in WI in August. The main reason I went was so I could ride and demo a bunch of bikes. I ended up bringing home a new trike and a two wheeled folding bent. I was really surprised to find that all of my riding I was still probably the slowest one there. I was surprised with how hilly the routes were. I already plan on returning next year with a goal to do the longer rides. I've been riding hills quite a bit since the rally and can see some improvement already.
This was a stop along the way home from the rally. Yeah it was stuffed lol
This was from a ride last week. I've started a recumbent bike fan page and website in order to try to get into contact with other recumbent riders. I'm the one on the right. So far I've lost about 40lbs and hope to lose another 40 over the next year.
So far the year to date I've done the following:
1771 miles
83,138 calories burned
8055 minutes on the bike so far for the year
another clyde getting ready to saddle up...
So jealous of your trike! I looked at some last month at a LBS in Tennessee.
Hi Lee, I really loved reading this entire thread from the beginning today. That is great progress and has motivated me further. I decided last weekend to make bicycling a priority as I approach 60 years old and into retirement. Congratulations!
Thanks CG!!!! It has been a good year but I have missed a few of my goals. A few weeks ago I rode in the MS150 which is two 75 mile days. I made it to mile 43 and had to withdraw due to heat exhaustion. I was REALLY devastated to have not completed the ride. It was my main goal for the year and I couldn't do it. The course had a TON of hills and the weather was 96* with 100% humidity. I had ridden some 55 mile days over the summer but not in such a hilly course. At first I couldn't even tell the EMT's/SAG people where I was or who was president. I was in a pretty bad situation. I knew when I stopped sweating and actually starting to feel cold that I was in trouble.
I've also met a few folks(unfortunately not on bents) that I ride with occasionally and have really enjoyed it. Often when out riding by myself I forget I'm out exercising just because riding the recumbents are so much fun. My next big goal is to ride the MS150 and complete it next year.
rode 50.4 miles today with several good sized hills. It was the first time to ride it since I had upgrade the cranks on my trike to a triple. It came with a fixed gear on the front and a SRAM dual drive rear and it was just geared too tall for me. Have 81 gears now and I love the way it rides now.
Rode today a short ride. Rode with a friend from church this afternoon and he kicked my butt. I took my trike and could tell when pulling out that my legs were still sore from Saturdays ride. Only managed in 20 miles but my legs were real tired. Gonna wait a couple days to saddle up again
Rode a short 21 miles yesterday but it included one of my hillier routes coming back. I toed with another local triker and he has some ankle issues so I always plan an easy paced more relaxed pace than I do when by myself. He is much older than me but he shows me different ways to tackle the rolling hills. I've always been a hard charger for hills. Sometimes I just need to step my output and let the gearing do the real work.
Next Friday we are going to ride a new rail to trail system that opened up about an hour and a half away. It is 44 miles each way. I'm hoping if it's as flat as they say it is and if it's a nice fall day then hopefully I can ride the entire trail in one day
yesterday was our big day. A new rail to trail path opened a few weeks ago. We drove down with six people and intended on riding the entire trail. The trail is 44 miles each way. My 12 year old son rode on a trike with us as well. We were able to ride the entire 88 miles but the last 20 miles or so were just miserable. The terrain was mostly flat with some long inclines but no real "hills". We felt like we really achieved something by finishing the ride yesterday. My legs this morning were still wore out and I could tell I had overdone it but I was nowhere near as sore as I thought I would be. Going to take a leisurely paced ride on Monday depending on how my legs feel.
In reality I think I'm probably another year away from trying a complete century. After yesterday I think I need to limit myself to under 60 mile rides until I get in some better shape and lose some more weight. I haven't weighed in quite a while(month or more maybe???) so I think one day this week I will do a weigh in to see where I'm at.
Today I rode 40.4 on my Musashi and felt great on it. The weather was perfect and I decided to take a different/longer route today. It was my first time to ride a two wheeled recumbent in almost a month. I felt fantastic today and had a great ride. I'm at 1990 miles for the year. I hope to do 3000 for the year but I just don't know if I will be able to do it.
Had a couple of milestones today. I weighed in this morning for the first time since May and I have lost 50 lbs since January. Also went for a 30 mile ride today and had a great ride. I rode my grasshopper recumbent and tonight have some inflammation in my knees. The bike is oddly geared and I will probably need to address the gearing and crank arm length over the winter. I did the same for my trike and it made a huge improvement.
I also forgot to add that today I crossed the 2k mile mark for the year. I'm hoping to ride 3k for the year but that may be asking too much out of me
rode today and only put 20 miles on the bike. Today was just one of those days where I had to force myself to get out on the bike. It was in the 50's today and had a pretty steady wind. I went the hilly route and it was the first time since I had made some gearing changes. To say I was happy would be grossly under exaggerated.
I had my first "colder weather" ride today. Ended up riding 41 miles and had a great ride. I am definitely going to need to find some warmer clothes. I rode a hilly section that I've been riding this year both directions and really kicked my butt. Even though it's starting to get cool outside I hope to be able to ride at least a couple days a week if not more.
Small update
Rode a couple times this week and hope to get out again tomorrow. I'm nearing 2200 miles. I just don't think 3k miles is going to work. Colder weather so I plan to ride the next few days in a row. I've been giving myself 1-2 rest days between rides but it is getting I that time of year where I am more at the mercy of what mother nature and family obligations coming up.
It was 70* here this afternoon so we got out for a short 25 mile ride. I would have loved to ride 50 today but just had too much going on. I took the cargobike out for a change and it made me realize a couple of things. While the suspended trike offers a "cushy'er" ride it also has about 20 lbs more weight to it than the cargo bike and it really showed today. I probably averaged a good 2-3 mph over what I have been doing on the scorpion.
So far for the year I am at 2246 miles for the year. It's suppose to be nice tomorrow like it was today and then the temps drop 20-30*. I've been trying to avoid back to back rides to let me have a rest day but I'm going to get out again tomorrow.
well it's been a while since I've updated anything. I recently went out and bought a new leftover Cannondale SuperSix 3 in hopes of me trying to ride a regular road bike on occasion. I'm waiting until after Christmas to get on it as it's part of my Christmas present. Honestly my back still bothers me on occasion and I'm a little concerned if I will be able to ride it. The recent back trouble has done nothing but motivate me even more to get in even better shape. I've lost somewhere around 60#'s for the year and will try to weigh again sometime later this month. I'm trying not to live and die by the scale so I only weigh every couple of months. When I weighed a while back I was at 231lbs and that was the lowest my weight has been since I graduated from high school over twenty years ago. I'm literally falling out of my jeans but I'm waiting until after Christmas to buy a few new pair of jeans. I'm fitting into clothes that I have not been able to wear for years. I just need to figure out a way to still ride while the weather is cold.
I've been riding as the weather allows and finally invested in a few new pieces of clothing to help me ride in temps 25-40*. Tomorrow will be my first attempt at riding in temps below 40 so I guess I'll see how tomorrow goes. I also have a velomobile on order and hopefully once it arrives that I will be able to ride in whatever temps I want to. :)
Congrats on the weight loss Lee, bet you got more miles on your bicycle this year than most of those polishers on the HD forum. lol
Thanks I'm at 2600 and am hoping to make the 3k mile mark for the year. It's going to mainly depend on the weather and my ability to get out in it. I'm signed up for a 7 day ride in June and have a few other goals as well(including riding a century). I work better having goals to shoot for but last year I had a couple I didn't complete. Hopefully next year I will have more success in reaching my goals. Main goal is going to be more miles with less weight and enjoy it more than I did this year. There were a lot of times where I just had to punish myself to finish some rides. Hopefully as my body gets back in shape that those same rides will be easier next year.
small update. Friday I took delivery of my velomobile. I had some mechanical issues that stopped me in my tracks and the gearing was WAY too tall for me. I initially asked to send it back but we are going to change out the front gearing. It has a schlumpf high speed drive in it and I'm just not strong enough to push it the way it is geared. I'm going to send the bottom bracket back in and go to conventional triple front ring. Hopefully that will make the bike tolerable. I really want to be able to have something like this for trips/cold weather riding. Hopefully the fit will get a little better as well once I lose a few more pounds.
Woke up this morning with terrible stomach pain and have been admitted into the hospital. It looks like I may have to get my gall bladder removed. Hopefully this won't be a long term thing because I really wanted to be riding all week. Temps are forecast to be in the 50's all week long. :(
Spent a few days in the hospital but yesterday got out for a short ride. I'm not going to make my 3k goal for the year. The last several weeks the weather hasn't cooperated we've traveled a bit and me being in the hospital has me coming up short. I'm going to try to work in a few more rides this year as time allows. Sucks not making my goal though. :(

Missing Utah teen found in tattered socks after 3 days of searching
MrsH Altamont, UTAug. 15, 2013 2:47 p.m.
...for whatever reason he's lost, it doesn't matter. But we need to help because if we don't, who will?" were words from one volunteer searcher.
Probably the only words of wisdom about the whole situation!
sjames AMERICAN FORK, UTAug. 5, 2013 4:31 p.m.
I worked in a wilderness program fairly similar to the one described for several years. The young people who attend these programs are usually sent there because they are "at-risk." In all of my time there, I can count the amount of "runners" we had in my camp on one hand. It is very rare for someone to try and leave the program.
That being said, our program did not take their shoes at night or force them to do death marches. This difference in approach is a major reason that our program has had so much success.
One should be cautious before judging this child or the program. These groups are generally highly regulated and there is very little sexual or other abuse happening. When a kid decides to run, it's almost always because they want to escape the circumstance they found themselves in.
We shouldn't try to point fingers, we should simply be happy that this young man was found safe and alive.
Bruce A. Frank San Jose, CAAug. 5, 2013 4:23 p.m.
So, Fredsgirl1, you have been a participant in this program and have first hand knowledge of such abuses? Not that such is impossible, but this UT not MA.
Cleetorn Fuaamotu, TongaAug. 5, 2013 3:45 p.m.
As a juvenile, his privacy is protected by the State and his prior record and convictions are not available to the general public as they would be if he were an adult. As such, juveniles are placed into such programs as a last-ditch effort to rehabilitate them before becoming an adult and being committed to that system. To title them as "troubled" is the politically correct term used nowadays instead of "criminal" but there is no legal difference.
And these rehabilitation programs actually have a very good success rate. It's unfortunate that the only time they make the news is when something drastic happens – the same as car accidents, murders, molestations. The few that appear in the news do not account for the hundreds who have changed their lives around as a result of the program. Nobody wants to hear about safe drivers, people who are living as they should or youth programs that are working.
No, as a society, we want the sensational, the dramatic. "If it bleeds, it leads" is more than just an adage.
jrgl CEDAR CITY, UTAug. 5, 2013 3:19 p.m.
Thankful this young man was found! Bless you!
Have to agree with Fredsgirl. These camps & Utah boarding schools for youth in need of behavioral help are beyond a joke. Sorry EJM, I'm no armchair quarterback, but lived through "wilderness survival training for troubled youth" in Utah as a teen. One teen died. What was my offense? Not living up to my potential & hardly a crime. There are plenty of kids who have the "crime" of a stepmom who'd prefer they not be around! Then there are foster kids who sadly end in these programs.
Ever read the book or see the movie Holes? Yes, these camp, school & group home owners abuse kids, have no education & are in it for the money.
EJM Herriman, UTAug. 5, 2013 12:45 p.m.
Armchair quarterbacks. Love reading the postings. Glad he was found. But there was a reason why he was removed from home and placed with the state. Better here now to learn a lesson than to be housed down at the prison in draper in the future. I'm hopeful.
fredsgirl1 usa, MAAug. 5, 2013 11:56 a.m.
Looking for reasons why he ran, I'll give you a few: Bulling by camp inmates, ulling by camp personell, sexual abuse by fellow camp mates, sexual abuse from came personel.
And if he "Snitches" on these people, why would the authorities believe a troubled boy in the program?
I M LDS 2 Provo, UTAug. 5, 2013 11:44 a.m.
So many keyboarding experts, but so few who really understand what it takes to turn a young life around, and even fewer who are willing to put in the effort and take the risks...
Howard Beal Provo, UTAug. 5, 2013 11:05 a.m.
I'm not a fan of these "wilderness" programs. They usually don't change kids lives and every year it seems like we either have a kid dead, injured severely or lost.
RShackleford Saint George, UTAug. 5, 2013 9:35 a.m.
I can not see how he could be charged with anything (additional). Any fines would be passed on to his parent(s).They have already paid this Youth Camp to have responsibility over their kid. I'm sure they (parents) are being charged by this business at least $3,000+/mo to fix their kid. any charges would have to be levied against the Those (a business) that had responsibility over this kid at the time. They should also be billed for all costs involved with the search.
This could be the best thing for this kid, He probably just figured out being out on his own, responsible for your own actions, is not all that easy, or as we used to say, "It's Tough Out West". I hope the best for this kid, not some trumped up charge by the county or state for increased revenue.
Shawnm750 West Jordan, UTAug. 5, 2013 9:11 a.m.
Usually kids in these programs are there because of juvenile criminal activity. They are sometimes given the option to participate in these programs as a means of avoid juvenile detention for things they've done. So, if that was the case for him, it means he'll be facing whatever charges he was probably hoping to avoid, as well as the new charges for leaving the program.
USAlover Salt Lake City, UTAug. 5, 2013 8:45 a.m.
Yeah, it always cracks me up when we want to throw more "charges" on a kid who is just trying to figure some stuff out.
If he didn't break any law, lay off the kid and let the ranch for "troubled youth" handle it.
Macfarren Dallas, TXAug. 5, 2013 8:05 a.m.
"A judge will determine what will happen next with him. 'He might be facing additional charges because he left the program," Sollis said.'"
Why? Was he under court order to be at the camp in the first place? Solis references *additional* charges. Where there *original* charges?
This story seems to be lacking the background information.
