The Indian space program joined an elite group last year when its first lunar probe entered orbit around the moon and began taking detailed observations. But the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) lost radio contact this weekend with the probe, Chandrayaan 1, and the mission came to an abrupt end after communications could not be reestablished.
"Our efforts to establish contact have failed. The mission has been terminated," ISRO spokesperson S. Satish told Reuters. "There was no point continuing with the mission."
Chandrayaan 1 was nearing the halfway point of its planned two-year mission. The probe carried a suite of instruments from across the globe, including two from NASA: a radar that scanned the interiors of permanently darkened craters and a spectrometer to map the mineral composition of the surface.
Satish told the Associated Press that the spacecraft had accomplished the bulk of its objectives, and indeed, NASA's radar had already mapped 90 percent of the moon's poles by June.
Among the many Indian instruments on Chadrayaan 1 was an impactor that the spacecraft dropped to the surface in November. The impactor probe photographed the moon's surface and measured the lunar atmosphere as it descended to a planned high-speed crash-landing.
For nearly two weeks earlier this year, Chandrayaan 1 had the moon to itself—Japan's Kaguya spacecraft met its planned end June 10, and NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter did not reach lunar orbit until June 23.

When Uncle Tom's Cabin; or, Life among the Lowly was first published in 1852, no one—least of all its author, Harriet Beecher Stowe—expected the book to become a sensation, but this antislavery novel took the world by storm. It was to become the second best-selling book in the world during the nineteenth century, second only to the Bible, and it touched off a flurry of criticism and praise. Stowe had written the novel as an angry response to the 1850 passage of the Fugitive Slave Law, which punished those who aided runaway slaves and diminished the rights of fugitive as well as freed slaves. Hoping to move her fellow Americans to protest this law and slavery in general, Stowe attempted to portray "the institution of slavery just as it existed." Indeed, Uncle Tom's Cabin was nearly unique at the time in its presentation of the slaves' point of view.
Stowe's novel tells the stories of three slaves— Tom, Eliza, and George—who start out together in Kentucky, but whose lives take different turns. Eliza and George, who are married to each other but owned by different masters, manage to escape to free territory with their little boy, Harry. Tom is not so lucky. He is taken away from his wife and children. Tom is sold first to a kind master, Augustine St. Clare, and then to the fiendish Simon Legree, at whose hands he meets his death. Stowe relied upon images of domesticity, motherhood, and Christianity to capture her nineteenth century audience's hearts and imaginations. In spite of the critical controversy surrounding the book, the characters of Uncle Tom, Little Eva, and Simon Legree have all achieved legendary status in American culture. Often called sentimental and melodramatic, Uncle Tom's Cabin nevertheless endures as a powerful example of moral outrage over man's inhumanity to man.

text: St. John's University students enrolled in the College of Professional Studies' course "Cruise Operations Management" have returned from an amazing field trip on Norwegian Cruise Line's Norwegian Pearl and are writing rave reviews about their extraordinary experience. The students, all pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree in Hospitality Management, may have been cruising but it was all business for them. Each was required to participate in all of the class activities and events, during which professional or business attire was a must. They were also required to keep a field-trip journal during the eight-day Caribbean cruise, which took them from Miami to Honduras, Belize, Cozumel, Great Stirrup Cay and back to Miami. Guest speakers joined the group for educational seminars and some of the activities.While on board, in addition to their class work, students accompanied cruise personnel on site inspections—to the front desk, the bridge, and the housekeeping, engineering and food and beverage departments. They were also able to take part in optional excursions while in the various ports. This fantastic "backstage" glimpse of the cruise industry was arranged by Associate Professor Heidi Sung, Ph.D., of the Hospitality Management Department. Dr. Sung says that field trips such as this give students the "real-world" experience so necessary in today's competitive job market. The students testify to the value of their field trip:Ashley Fallon, HMT Junior (Queens) The field trip was awesome in all aspects – not only with so much fun but also with benefits and values. How many people can say that they have to take a required field trip on a cruise ship, and on that trip you get to meet the most important people on the ship, the Captain and the General Manager, see the areas that normally wouldn't be accessible, get invited to the Captain's private pre-party before his dinner, and get special treatment and recognition from the entire crew? As a matter of fact, when other cruisers asked us where we were from and the reason for being on the cruise, they didn't believe our response: We were on a "required" field trip! I think that alone shows how very lucky we were to have had this experience. I appreciated and enjoyed every part of this trip very much, but what I am most appreciative for the fact that it helped me figure out what direction I want to head in when choosing my career. Before the class I was unsure, but now I am certain that I want to end up working for a cruise line. I am certain that on a job interview mentioning this class and the field trip experience would help my chances of obtaining a position within the industry, and hopefully put me a foot ahead of other people who may not be so informed. Maybe Dr. Sung can take her class on the ship where I am onboard and I can be one of those officers to speak to her class!Jasmine Fourquet, HMT Junior (Queens) The Norwegian Cruise Line Pearl field trip with HMT 1073 and Dr. Sung was the one I will never forget. I can say this course has given me a 360-degree educational experience. We spent eight days and seven nights in four different destinations (Bahamas, Belize, Mexico and Honduras), while enjoying hands-on experience with operations as they were happening. While aboard, we met with and shadowed key personnel, including the ship's captain, cruise director, executive chef, and many others. Our group also had the privilege of taking behind the scenes tours of various places on the ship including the state-of-the-art Garden Suite, kitchens (Galley), the storage rooms for food, the bridge, and the backstage of the theater. Besides our invaluable educational experience, we also had the opportunity to enjoy the cruise during our spring break. This was a "required" field trip for us to gain a contemporary cruise experience. What a field trip! From Honduras to the Bahamas, we sampled different destinations and cultures. We also had a blast on the ship with many activities and dining in over 12 different restaurants. We enjoyed every bit of the itinerary!Anthony Desanno, HMT Senior (Staten Island) The cruise experience this time for me was nothing like any other six cruises that I went on in the past. I was completely engaged in learning from top officers of a cruise ship. We met the cruise director, the General Manager, executive housekeeper, executive chef, beverage manger, restaurant director, head steward, and more. The best part of this learning experience was being able to go behind the scenes of the cruise ship. The seminar with the Cruise General Manager was very special to me because this is the position I want to pursue. This would be the ultimate dream job for me. Overall, this class including a field trip has been a great experience and will benefit me in a big way. I have made a decision about my professional career path in the cruise industry. In addition, I will become CLIA-certified after attending classroom lectures, which will shine in my resume when applying for a position in the cruise industry. This trip really made me understand how the hospitality industry works within cruise ships, hotels, and restaurants. I will always have amazing memories of the best trip in my life.Matthew Salamone, HMT Senior (Queens) This was an amazing field trip. I learned a lot about what happens behind the scenes on a Cruise Ship. I am very grateful that I was offered the opportunity to go on this field trip. Not only learned a great deal about the actual cruise and what it takes to make everything so successful but also enjoyed the cruise experience during spring break. Every activity that the class did as a group was amazing and very informative. If I could go back I would do it in a heartbeat. I enjoyed every minute of my trip.Emily Golembieski, HMT Junior (Staten Island) All in all, this turned out to be the most educational vacation imaginable. I learned the processes, necessities, and difficulties of cruise travel. The staff did an excellent job of explaining the different things that went on such as room organization, security, food and beverage, as well as health controls. This trip further increased my interest in not only the cruise industry, but overall travel as well. The course including the field trip opened me up to more possibilities of career path in the future. When first registering for the Cruise Operations Management course I was not sure if this were a profession that I would want to look deeper into. When asking the staff what they thought of their job, most of them said that they love it and that it was the best decision they have ever made. By hearing this, it made me more interested in the industry. I really enjoy the idea that you work for eight months straight then you have four months off to do whatever you please with your time, and the fact that those four months are paid vacation only make the deal seem more intriguing. The part of the trip that I most enjoyed was when we were able to actually go on the bridge. I felt privileged to be able to go behind the scenes and see how the ship is operated. When being on the bridge I was nervous because of all the buttons that you can press. We were told what is used for what and how the things each work. What was extremely fascinating to me was being able to look out and seen nothing in front of you. Also on the one side of the ship there was a sheet of glass that you could stand on and when you look down all you saw was the crystal blue water underneath you. Overall everything about the cruise was simply fantastic. When we were let out in Honduras I had such an amazing time just being able to see another country. Everything was absolutely beautiful and amazing. This course offered many different outlooks on the cruise industry. Although that was not my first experience on a cruise, it was definitely my most enjoyable one.Amanda Tang, HMT Senior (Queens) Norwegian Pearl is the ship's name I will not forget. I experienced for the first time in my life a cruise trip with backstage passes to see what is behind those closed doors. I have to admit that I was very surprised to learn this much about the cruise operation while we were onboard. This field trip was simply beyond what I had thought it would be like. It has opened my eyes to a thought of maybe actually wanting to work for a cruise line. The best part of the trip was when our class went behind the scenes to see the bridge, kitchen, laundry room, storage area, and the Villa. I was very impressed while we were at the bridge. The cruise ship itself is a moving hotel. What is there in a hotel that the cruise does not have? Nothing, the cruise is basically a hotel with food and beverage, customer service, maintenance, and housekeeping. The only difference is that the cruise gets to move around and visit so many different places, always have different people and have different internal employees. It has always been my dream to travel and visit all over the world. With the experience and the knowledge that I have gained from this class, I can knock two birds with one stone. That is something I have to consider.Janet Wu, HMT Junior (Queens) Being on the Norwegian Pearl has taught me a lot. Even though the time was short-lived, the experience will last me a lifetime. Before majoring in Hospitality Management, I did not see the intricate workings and the extensive planning needed to make the guest's stay pleasant. After going "behind-the-scenes" I am pleased to say I am beginning to understand the importance of teamwork in this industry. Everyday was a nice experience during the field trip on a cruise. Not only the scheduled seminars and group meeting even while having fun on the shore excursions taught me a lot – of the different destinations and cultures of the people living there. What I loved about this field trip was that I felt like I was a part of the crew after seeing all these "back of the house" spots. I felt like I knew something that the other guests didn't. It sounds weird but it was just a feeling I got every time I was in a restaurant ordering, or at the buffet eating I would think "Oh, yes I know where they keep the eggs." I was really glad to be able to partake in such a fun & informative field trip.

9. "A still from a 40's movie called Shockproof had a fascination that I spent some time analyzing. Everything in the photograph converged on a girl in a 'new look' coat who stared out slightly to the right of the camera. A very wide-angle lens must have been used because the perspective seemed distorted, but the disquiet of the scene was due to other factors. It was a film set, not a real room, so wall surfaces were not explicitly conjoined; and the lighting came from several different sources. Since the scale of the room had not been unreasonably enlarged, as one might expect from the use of a wide-angle lens, it could be assumed that false perspective had been introduced to counteract its effect . . ., yet the foreground remained emphatically close and the reces- soft
sion extreme. All this contributed more to the foreboding atmosphere than the casually observed body lying on the floor, partially concealed by a desk. The three collages . . . are about this image of an interior space—ominous, provocative, ambiguous; with the lingering residues of decorative style that any inhabited space collects. A confrontation with which the spectator is familiar yet not at ease." ( Richard Hamilton , The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, 1973, page 46.) "I've been looking at the catalogue. There is a wonderful clarity in Hamilton's work. And looking at these pictures some things have come back to me—Pat Knight's rather angular handsomeness, the pale lipstick face, with eyes trying to hide something, and an attitude of sameness about her against the changing backgrounds and melodramatic action."

Directed by George Marshall, Variety Girl is a revue-style musical—ostensibly about the charitable organization "The Variety Clubs of America,"—thrown together much along the lines of such wartime musical reviews as Thank Your Lucky Stars, Stage Door Canteen , or Star Spangled Rhythm . A slim plot (coscripted by Frank Tashlin) follows the adventures of Olga San Juan and Mary Hatcher in Hollywood as an excuse to showcase Paramount stars and personalities (among those making cameos: Ray Milland, Paulette Goddard, Bob Hope and Bing Crosby, Alan Ladd, Dorothy Lamour). The film's finale is a nightclub show with a carnival motif. Ringmaster William Demerest takes us to one exhibit featuring "Buffalo Burt Lancaster and Lizabeth 'Texas' Scott." Lancaster is to shoot a pair of cigarettes out of Scott's mouth from over his shoulder, using a mirror. "Stop breathing," he tells her. "Who's breathing?" she asks. The camera is on Lancaster when he shoots. He turns about looking disappointed. He walks over to where Scott was standing. The space is empty. He looks down indicating he has felled her.

The makeover took about 2 months from beginning to end, with materials running about $1200 - many of which were bought on Craigslist.
To re-created the New Orleans feel, dark saturated colors, fountain, party lights, and lots of fleur de lis accents were used.
There were a number of challenges -- wind being the biggest so planting had to be tough. The biggest trick of the project however, was mounting decor on the apartment building's walls. They are cement board and not something that she could mess with (crumbling would ensue and they were unable to bear weight) -- so every 'wall mounted' item had to be mounted on a fake wall in front of the real wall or had to find some other creative solution. But even with a false wall, the fountain posed a weight problem which was solved by using a lightweight resin fountain that was faux painted to look like the much heavier aged iron that was desired. On another wall, antique ceiling tiles with a fleur de lis pattern were hung with velcro.
Special details that bring the creole feel to life include (real!) little alligator heads that were added to the fountain and a trumpet planter with string of beads (real trumpet, plant version string of beads).

I put the cabin together from a kit, it took me about a dozen weekends to get it all ready. To start with I made a deal with this guy who owns a compact bulldozer. He sent me that bulldozer and a guy who could handle it. Of course I had to pay the guy and fill that thing full of diesel when he got done working. I told him I could handle it and he said something that was not fit to repeat here. In return I got him a package like this directstartv.org/, but only a sweeter deal and I installed what you could call a really great home theater system. I sort of got into this by accident. Of course my work is with alarm systems, but from there I learned about smart homes or home automation and once I started doing that stuff it let naturally to creating really smart home entertainment systems.
This is not really just hooking up direct tv that I am talking about, instead it is setting up a real system that allows you to network all of your devices any place in the house. A couple of years ago this was something that only a few really intense hobbyists were into. For me it was about music when I did the entertainment part. I have probably upwards of three hundred and fifty vinyl records, but I wanted to be able to transfer them to my computer and then have them available any place where I was in the house. So that was what inspired me to do this. Of course the cabin is not going to have any of that sort of stuff. It is mostly going to be a place for me and my fishing buddies to hang out when it's too wet to fish.

Comatose Music (2012)
Death metal not pretending to be anything else than just that is normally not my cup of post mortal tea. In fact, I often find these growling death metal bands quite boring. As in, when did a Cannibal Corpse album really do it for me? And let me answer you: just recently. Norwegian Kraanium crack out one brutal force after another, with incredibly deliciously heavy guitars, growling from the deepest gut great song titles, all wrapped up in a crystal clear sound. Clear, not sterile. Play fucking loud!
"Orgy Of Cannibalistic Fornication", "Stillborn Neurotic Fuck Feast". Now, let's eat!

First, what is the difference between Lebanon bologna and regular deli bologna? I think I saw something on the Food Network about a fried bologna sandwich (maybe a diner that specialized in the sandwich?), but the thought didn't hold my interest. To each his own, but it doesn't sound that tasty to me. I've never much cared for bologna. I had goose once a few years ago. I guess it tasted okay, but I thought it was very greasy. I don't know enough about it to know if that is because of the way it was prepared, or if it is just a naturally greasy bird. I've never had duck. My brother had a turducken(?) for Thanksgiving last year, but didn't like it. He called it turdyucken. |

Tim, To me Lebanon Bolgna is a misnomer. What it actually is a a slowly smoked sausage., with lots of spices....let me see if I can find something.....Ok, here ya go: Originating with the Pennsylvania Dutch, Lebanon bologna was developed with heavy influence coming from slow-cured sausages of Europe. It it is commonly available throughout Pennsylvania and is often served as a luncheon meat. It is named for the Lebanon Valley of Lebanon County, Pennsylvania, where it is most commonly produced. There are two versions, original and sweet. The thermal processing of Lebanon bologna typically does not exceed 120oF (48.8oC) due to undesirable quality effects high heat has on the final product. Because it is not cooked to a higher temperature, other ingredients and processes are used to control microbial growth. [1] Fermenting the product to a low pH coupled with the inclusion of curing salts inhibits the outgrowth of pathogenic bacteria such as Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium, as well as spoilage organisms. Typically, the blended and stuffed beef sausage is aged for 10 days prior to smoking to enrich lactic acid bacteria and allow for the reduction of nitrate to nitrite. [2] Fermentation occurs during the smoking step, which can last for up to 4 days. [3] A 1 pH unit (or more) decline is observed during this step, as well as the development of nitrosohemochrome, the pigment responsible for the red color of cured meats. Sometimes cream cheese is spread onto slices of Lebanon bologna, rolled and then cut into small sections, and served as an appetizer. Lebanon bologna can also be fried. In short - Lebanon Bologna actually has a taste, unlike what we call bologna. |

Well there you go. I learned something new today. I would try that. I like sausages, although I would prefer not to hear how they're made. Joe - how do you get a Pennsylvania specialty in rural Tennessee? Do you get it shipped down with your Tastykakes? Next - what are steamers? And I always thought babaganouche was just a fun word to say. I never knew you could eat it. |

Yep, the Lebanon bologna with cream cheese rolls are always one of my mom's appetizers at Christmas. Tim, if you think Oscar Mayer when you think bologna, then you're not thinking Lebanon bologna. Joe's info was correct, and so was his opinion: Lebanon bologna actually has a taste to it! For me, it was a spate of Lebanon bologna and mustard on white (Wonder) bread sandwiches for my lunch at school when I was a kid. I think my mom was all for it because Lebanon bologna was cheaper than ham. This was the same time I developed a taste for chipped dried beef, straight, not in dried beef gravy or anything like that. I still sometimes splurge (oh, the massive amounts of salt!!) on a quarter pound for myself, and still eat it straight. Steamers, Tim, are what we around Philly call steamed clams, cherrystones, the little sweet ones. Used to be a bar at college where you could get a dozen steamers and a beer for a buck on Thursday nights. As for the goose, I think I'll pass on it.

Tim, As I told Pam in a PM a few weeks ago, I hadn't seen Lebanon Bologna since I moved here in 1996. I had given up on it. About a month ago I went to a butcher/deli in Paris, TN because it's the only place I can get good Blue Cheese. There in the counter was a beautiful bounty of Lebanon Bologna. I was shocked and promptly bought 3 pounds. I'm about out now, so I'll be making the 60 mile round trip for a new batch. Alas, as for Tastykake -, no joy. The have some horrible thing here called Little Debbie's which is basically various shaped sugar cubes. Pam: You like Lebanon, steamers and chipped beef straight. We were meant to be together If hubby's reading over your shoulder...It's a joke!! |

It doesn't taste like eggplant, tho, Tim. It's roasted egplant, tahini (sesame paste) and olive oil and spices all pureed together. It tastes smoky and spicy, more than like eggplant. But if you're not an eggplant person to begin with, it might be a little much. Pam |

If you invited me over to your house for dinner (I think Joe wants to come, too), and fried Lebanon Bologna sandwiches and babganoush was on the menu, I would eat it and I'm sure I would enjoy it. Just please don't tell me what I'm eating. BTW - it is supposed to be about 20 degrees with flurries here tomorrow. An absolute perfect day for Soup Sunday. If anyone wants to come over and warm their chilled bones with whatever soup my wife makes, feel free. I'll just be in front of the television and fireplace watching football soaking in the aromas. |

A goose is greasy. It has to be roasted on a rack twice. And it is a waste of time to stuff them ... the stuffing will drip grease. Roast it 3/4 done; pour off the grease, roast it again. But save the grease for tomorrow's hash browns. Ole |

I have been reading this thread with some incredulity....never before had I heard of deep frying a whole turkey, sounds awesome! I had to google it to see what kit is required, those fryers look like a dustbin on a camp stove. I will have to try doing that some day, does it come under the heading of cooking or does the danger aspect make it exteme sports? |

Fedreb, I think it falls more under extreme sports. I have never deep fried a whole turkey myself, but I have heard of turkeys exploding in the process, so part of what you'll need would be goggles and maybe some chain mail! Pam |

TimK Member
Nothing real special - I made my turkey chile and some homemade corn muffins. Deep frying a turkey can be dangerous if you're stupid about it. Most accidents happen when you use too much oil, so that when you put the bird in, it overflows. Best to figure this out first. Another problem can happen if the bird is wet when you put it in. When we brined our turkey, we spent a good half hour taking turns making sure there was no water in or on it before frying. It's pretty much a matter of common sense. |

Fried turkey is well worth trying. Use peanut oil. Ours came out nice and black. We heard several people comment that it was the best turkey they ever had. The only draw back is there are no drippings to make a gravy. I guess there are reports of people putting a frozen turkey in the hot oil?!!! Nice explosions of fire balls. We fried ours out back with a fryer specified for frying turkeys, fueled by a propane tank waaaay far out from the house. Our chickens (live ones) came pecking over to have a horrified look. They were quickly escorted back to their coop before we had some KFC as well! |

Oh, Paula, I am so excited! I have been worrying about the honeybees now for a couple of years...ever since I saw that special about them dying out. I have lots who come to my hummingbird feeders...so many the hummingbirds often can't find a spot to drink! I am happy to have them. Wouldn't mind having my own bee hive, if I knew how. Anyway, to know you had a swarm come to your farm and set up housekeeping is VERY exciting!
Love the broody hens too. How adorable. You'll be so happy with your new chicks!
Thanks for coming by my blog and always commenting! - March 25, 2012 at 8:02 PM

just repopulated our chicken coop - only 6 and kind of assorted but friend is getting into the rare breeds incubating thing and I got the nice extras - nothing so exotic as your silkies! Exciting about the bees - one of the many things I'd like to do (but DH absolutely refuses!) is try beekeeping. Guess watching your stories will be my bee "fix"!

So it works for me.
I read this and it mademe curious to see if Froogle was still in beta and sure enough it STILL is! Seems like it's been in Beta forever... What's up with that?
OT... This made me get some annoying pop song stuck in my head, "I've seen Beta days..." except of course Beta is really better in the song. Sorry I have no clue who sings it, and you're all probably wondering what in the world I'm talking about but sometimes you just have to let things out.

Peeling off labels
The first five miles were so bike friendly that they could have been an attraction at Disneyland — smooth, swooping singletrack that plummeted from an arid grassy ridge into a green abyss of a canyon. At the bottom we discovered the opposite of friendly, a kind of bike purgatory where mountain bikers who overindulged in the sinful descent are forced to shoulder their bikes across a streambed of large jagged rocks for a seeming eternity. By the time Beat and I left the canyon and pushed our bikes up steep horse trails, rode along the searing rollercoaster of a ridge and returned to the car, 15 miles, 4,000 feet of climbing, three liters of water (one liter too few), and four and a half hours later, I had forgotten all about Disneyland. This loop in Henry Coe State Park came fairly well recommended but in my opinion was at least 50 percent unrideable (most of the uphill and flat sections were a bust.) "Singletrack obsession is such a sham," I grumbled to myself. "When am I going to admit that I just don't belong to the cult of mountain biking? I'm a bike tourist who likes dirt."
I've actually been training quite a bit on my mountain bike this past week, in preparation for the upcoming (too soon upcoming) Capitol Forest 100. There's kinda a reason I haven't blogged about it. For whatever reason, I haven't been feeling particularly strong or well-motivated in my riding this week. Or my running for that matter. I've been working my way back into regular trail running as well, but nearly everything I've done since the Tahoe Rim Trail 100 has just felt flat — shriveled to a shape much like my Camelback bladder after I sucked every cubic millimeter of air out of it in my futile search for moisture during our Henry Coe mountain bike adventure. I feel like the same thing has happened to my willpower in running. On Thursday, during a 10-mile trail run in Castle Rock State Park, I lost my mojo at the halfway point and spent 10 minutes photographing rock formations (none of the photos turned out very good at all), trying to work up the motivation just to run back. "When am I going to admit that I'm just not a trail runner?" I thought to myself. "I'm a hiker who likes distance."
I'm frustrated by the way I feel so I slap these labels on myself. "Not a mountain biker ... not a trail runner." Of course, negativity never helps. I know that. I'm just working through my annual August slump. I actually had a pretty good one last year, too. I remember coming home from TransRockies 2010 and feeling inexplicably busted and struggling with even my favorite Missoula mountain bike trails. Thanks to those struggles, and the persistent encouragement of a certain Swiss ultrarunner who I had recently met, I took up trail running as a way to break out my summer slump. It worked in the most beautiful way, and I need of to just keep the faith that a little patience and persistence will re-inflate my mojo back to its overabundant norm, much like my Camelback bladder today after I filled it with way too much water for my short ride. And I actually felt really good today. I chased roadies up a steep paved climb on my mountain bike and finished the 25-mile Steven's Creek Canyon road-to-trail loop in 2:22, nearly twenty minutes faster than my usual time. I'm still intimidated by the Capitol Forest 100, but I'm getting there.

Thank you, Jill, for keeping me motivated. I'm a newbie at 48, but I love this new journey. And I love your honesty, sharing your struggles as well as your victories. Thank you!

Eh, I barely survived my hike yesterday. Feelin' good and strong seems to come and go. Also, technical single track isn't fun mtn biking for me either.
- MattC said...
We all have our slumps. But when it does turnaround, it can be quite unexpected and quite remarkable! I've never done Henry Coe park when up there in my travels, mostly cuz I KNOW that Purisima Creek open space is SO AWESOME that it never fails to bring a smile to my face (and I'm always time limited it seems). Of course, I don't find any new and awesome places that way...so there is that.
It's actually quite humorous seeing you write "When am I going to admit that I just don't belong to the cult of mountain biking? I'm a bike tourist who likes dirt."
You know why it's funny? Cuz after reading about YOUR exploits on knobby tires, I say to myself "there's no chance in heck that I could EVER keep up with Jill for more than a few hours...after that she'd just ride away like the energizer bunny while I bemoan the fact that I just can't hang for any really long distance/time...cuz I guess I'm not REALLY a Mt biker. The mt biking cult is a wide and varied thing my 2 wheeled sista.
There are those who ride walmart bikes on dirt trails suitable for baby strollers. There are those who ride uber expensive latest and greatest chi-chi-ti/carbon/whatever on some nasty-gnarly stuff that makes great youtube videos. There are those who race. And then there are those who do not only attempt but FINISH insane events like TransRockies (I hope I remembered the name right), or GDR, or Iditabike.
Speed and style/skill are all very personal things on a bike. Getting out there and RIDING on 2 wheels is what the brotherhood (sisterhood?) of it's really all about. That's why I still wave to ALL my 2 wheeled bretheren when I'm out there, whether it be on my road bike or my mt bike. Sometimes they wave back, sometimes they don't.
I'd be PROUD to ride with you anyday, and I may hold my own for a few hours, but after that we'd start to enter YOUR arena...and most of the TRUE (ha ha) Mt bikers I know would cry like a baby after about 7 or 8 grueling hours...while you are just getting started.
Basicly what I'm saying is don't be so hard on yourself...cuz if there is such a thing as a definition of what a Mt biker is, all I know is that it should have your picture by it. - 7:11 AM
- Bill said...
I think you will come out of this slump to become one of the nations top ariel motocross free-stylists. Really though ... just being there is good enough. Dont try to fit into a mold because you will break "their" precious mold. I never liked molds ... I mean why does a cookie have to be round anyway? 2 dimensional molds never work for a 4 dimensional world.
- A.Fog said...
1. What trails did you do at Coe? That place can massively suck, or it can be a fun day of suffering, depending how you do it.
2. If the August slump is what spawns the new adventures, then slump away. - 6:43 PM
- Dan O said...
You have a few weeks until the Capitol 100. I predict slump long melted away by then - enjoyable race as a result - with a great post and pictures to follow.
- Allison said...
The Spanish named those mountains the "mountains of deception" 'cause they looked easy but kicked their asses. Hmmmm.
- Jill Homer said...
A. Fog ... I'm actually having a tough time remembering the names of those trails. The latter part of the ride was on Hobart Road — the rollers that were mostly rideable but tough having been out of water for an hour or so. The first singletrack descent we did was indeed fantastic. I can see the possibility of stringing together some great rides if you know the area better. But I can also see how those trails were not built with bikes in mind.

Just enter the code SOHAUTE during checkout to receive the discount. What makes this sale even sweeter? You can shop without regret with ModCloth's free returns and exchanges!
What do you have your eye on? I just grabbed the Cherry A La Mode Dress, which I can't wait to wear with some long necklaces and strappy sandals (I think it'll be perfect- and forgiving- for a summer ice cream date)!

Comments On Jan 09, 2013:They sure do look good, but I bought these as a set brand new, front steering tires and rear paddles with the STI spun aluminum wheels. For the SMALL dunes they are pretty good, but when coming down a dune or hill and to start back up, the front tires rub the fenders pretty bad. And when you need to go up a hill, plan on it taking awhile or a less of an angle route to make it back to the group, as you will loose horsepower because these are ALOT of tire and wheel for the SXS's to push up the hill. Just my honest opinion as I traded mine back in. Go for the smaller tires so you have the horses to make it up those hills everyone else is going up. Better yet if they made a 25.5" tall tire with a 12 or 13" wheel that would be ideal !! One good thing is they do have a higher stance, but you are in the sand you are not rock crawling.
Good luck !!
