In 2003, Rob English took on and beat the UK 4-man pursuit champions VC St Raphael in a 4000 m challenge race at Reading, beating them by a margin of 4 min 55.5 s to 5 min 6.87 s - and dropping one of the St Raphael riders along the way.
Of course I don't know all the details of these, and the EbikeE isn't the same as these racing recumbents, but my expectation is only that an EbikeE is more aerodynamic than a Mountain Bike. I have read that people have ridden EbikeE's in 100 mile rides, how many folks ride mountain bikes in 100 mile rides?
4000m olympic record is like 3:55, so I am not sure about that claim.
and I think they are talking about a fully faired recumbent, which would have a big advantage and completely impractical.
The "unfaired" recumbents that have beat the record (non aero bars) use a tail box fairing and still haven't top the "aero bar" record.
and plenty of people have done centuries on mountain bikes, its not unusual at all, just not ideal,
so ur bikeE is probably more aero than a mt bike, but its like the least aero for all recumbents due to the high sitting position.
regarding the velocar record,
it was a long time ago...
notice he's pretty laid back like the low/high racer...

no tech has never been shot. shot at or maybe around a shooting? possible he did sleep on big scoobs couch with an ak 47 back when they was slinging pieces. and i'm sure he was talking like some dude was all wasted an caught tech with elbo and than got all buck sayin he was gonna get his pistol an shit and the security did do shit so now it's in gods hands to take that demon out.
the whole scare krow thing is like this, before the gang biz, tech performed with rapper named scare krow and others, well i'm sure you've heard of aginy right, techs first baby's momma, well that use to be scare krow's girl and tech ended up gettin with her, thus lil dontez was born, scare krow didn't take to kindly to that. lol same thing happened later with mr juan. lol think about all that and then listen to worst enemy. i love that song.

By Roger Mercer
Dear Roger: Can you grow new daylilies from bulbs like the enclosed bulb? I have hundreds of these on the ends of some of my big clumps of daylilies. Also, is now a good time to transplant them?- Faye, Fayetteville
Dear Faye: Daylilies do not make bulbs. The big, fattened root you sent me will not sprout and grow, no matter how carefully you plant it. The root merely stores extra food to get the daylily through hard times. Such roots help make daylilies the toughest and easiest to grow of all perennials.
Each daylily you plant will eventually become a large clump like the ones you describe. Each plant in the clump may be pulled apart from the clump and planted individually to form a new, large clump in two or three years.
Sometimes, large, strong clumps need a little cutting to get them apart.
Here's a trick I learned for doing the least damage: Push a large, wide kitchen-knife blade into the clump at a place that looks like it might split. Twist the knife until you hear a distinct snap. The clump will then usually pull apart along the cleavage lines formed by the knife split.
Grow daylilies well and eventually you'll have enough to fill your yard or to share with many friends.
Plant shallow. The crown of the plant, the point where the roots meet the leaves, should be no more than 1 inch below the soil surface.
Add a little lime and a little phosphate before planting if you have not worked the soil before. Better still, get a free soil test at the N.C. State Extension Service office in the Crown Center on East Mountain Drive.
Dear Roger: What are those incredibly bright red bushes on Martin Luther King Jr. Freeway near the Bragg Boulevard exit? Some are red and some are green and turning red. A leaf is enclosed. Can you please tell us the name of this bush? Thanks. - Francis
Dear Francis: The leaf you sent is from a plant called burning bush. Its true name isEuonymous alatus'Compactus.'
The common name is easy to say and spell but does not tell you much about the shrub. The technical or true botanical name tells you that the stems are winged (alatus) with corky, ridged bark, and that the selected form is more compact ('Compactus') than the species.
The plant is at its best when in fall color. Some people say the color is the brightest of all shrubs or trees - a very bright red. Small red seeds hang from orange pods amid red foliage in autumn. The seeds often hang on long after the leaves drop
The compact form of the plant is valuable for beds and low hedges. It seldom grows more than 5 feet tall.
The plants are widely available through garden centers, catalogs and online garden sources.
Dear Roger: Could you give me some advice on using colors in the landscape? I'm talking about colors, not the plants that produce the colors. I'll figure that out later. I am trying to do some serious planning and need help.- Beth, Southern Pines
Dear Beth: Limit the kinds of annuals and perennials you use to three or four. Combining too many distinctive colors produces clutter and confusion in a small yard, even in a large yard, unless you do some serious grouping of colors.
Choose colors carefully to complement existing shrubs and to avoid conflict with the color of your home. Brick can bring out the worst in some strong, blended colors.
Choose pastel lavenders, pinks and soft blue shades where you wish to soften the effect of a large planting.
White flowers always work. They can be the glue that holds together a diverse composition.
Use colorful foliage plants where you wish to avoid flower colors that are too strong.
Clear, pure primary colors are the most flexible colors, but strong blended colors should not be planted near them. Use whites and pastel colors nearby.

Master Calendar
Faculty Forum with Weissberg Chair Justice Diego García-Sayán
Date: Monday, April 8th, 2013
Time: 12:30 pm
Location: Mathers, Pearsons Hall
Sponsored by: VPAA
Contact: email@example.com, Contact: Sheila Gustafson 363-2263
A highly regarded justice specializing in human rights, as well as an academic, scholar, and politician, Diego García-Sayán has served as a Justice on the Inter-American Court of Human Rights since 2004. In 2008 he was elected Vice President of the Court, and became its President in 2010. The Inter-American Court has been singular among human rights tribunals in focusing not only on developing rights and denouncing violations of rights, but providing restorative measures (reparations, restitution, and adoption of measures to ensure non-repetition). Cases it has reviewed have focused, among others, on the rights of women, minorities, and indigenous groups.
Beyond his work with the Inter-American Court, Justice García-Sayán is actively involved in the Andean Commission of Jurists, a non-governmental organization that seeks not only to reform judicial systems in Latin America, but to involve civil society in this process, address corruption and extreme poverty, and promote corporate social responsibility among Latin American businesses. Justice García-Sayán served as Peru's Minister of Justice (2000/01) and Minister of Foreign Affairs (2001/02) at a particularly difficult time as Peru transitioned from dictatorship to democracy. He holds a law degree from Pontifical Catholic University of Peru, is past Chair of the United Nations Working Group on Enforced or Involuntary Disappearances, and co-founded the Peruvian Center for International Affairs.
In this presentation, Justice García-Sayán will discuss the experiences and decisions that have shaped his career.
Hot buffet lunch will be available for $3.00 beginning at 12:00 noon. To ensure an accurate count, please RSVP email@example.com by noon on Friday, April 5.
This event is open to Beloit College faculty and staff.

Nucleobases are nitrogen-containing biological compounds (nitrogenous bases) found within deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), ribonucleic acid (RNA), nucleotides, and nucleosides. Often simply called bases in genetics, their ability to form base-pairs and to stack upon one another lead directly to the helical structure of DNA and RNA.
Use of the word base is historical, in reference to the chemical properties of nucleobases in acid-base reactions within the test tube, and is not especially relevant or important for understanding most of their biological functions.
The primary nucleobases are cytosine (DNA and RNA), guanine (DNA and RNA), adenine (DNA and RNA), thymine (DNA) and uracil (RNA), abbreviated as C, G, A, T, and U, respectively. Because A, G, C, and T appear in the DNA, these molecules are called DNA-bases; A, G, C, and U are called RNA-bases. Uracil replaces thymine in RNA. These two bases are identical except that uracil lacks the 5' methyl group. Adenine and guanine belong to the double-ringed class of molecules called purines (abbreviated as R). Cytosine, thymine, and uracil are all pyrimidines (abbreviated as Y).
In normal spiral DNA the bases form pairs between the two strands: A with T and C with G. Purines pair with pyrimidines mainly for dimensional reasons - only this combination fits the constant width geometry of the DNA spiral. The A-T and C-G pairings are required to match the hydrogen bonds between the amine and carbonyl groups on the complementary bases.
The compound formed when a nucleobase forms a glycosidic bond with the 1' anomeric carbon of a ribose or deoxyribose is called a nucleoside, and a nucleoside with one or more phosphate groups attached at the 5' carbon is called a nucleotide.
Apart from adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), thymine (T) and uracil (U), DNA and RNA also contain bases that have been modified after the nucleic acid chain has been formed. In DNA, the most common modified base is 5-methylcytosine (m5C). In RNA, there are many modified bases, including those contained in the nucleosides pseudouridine (Ψ), dihydrouridine (D), inosine (I), and 7-methylguanosine (m7G).[1][2]
Hypoxanthine and xanthine are two of the many bases created through mutagen presence, both of them through deamination (replacement of the amine-group with a carbonyl-group). Hypoxanthine is produced from adenine, xanthine from guanine.[3] In similar manner, deamination of cytosine results in uracil.
In August 2011, a report, based on NASA studies with meteorites found on Earth, was published suggesting nucleobases (such as adenine, guanine, xanthine, hypoxanthine, purine, 2,6-diaminopurine, and 6,8-diaminopurine) may have been formed in outer space.[4][5][6]
- The "skeleton" of adenine and guanine is purine, hence the name purine-bases.
- The "skeleton" of cytosine, uracil, and thymine is pyrimidine, hence pyrimidine-bases.
Primary bases[edit]
These are incorporated into the growing chain during RNA and/or DNA synthesis.

Guanine |
Thymine |
Cytosine |
Uracil |
Nucleoside | Adenosine A |
Guanosine G |
Thymidine T |
Cytidine C |
Uridine U |
Modified purine bases[edit]
These are examples of modified adenosine or guanosine.
Nucleobase | Hypoxanthine |
Xanthine |
7-Methylguanine |
Nucleoside | Inosine I |
Xanthosine X |
7-Methylguanosine m7G |
Modified pyrimidine bases[edit]
These are examples of modified cytidine, thymidine or uridine.
Nucleobase | 5,6-Dihydrouracil |
5-Methylcytosine |
5-Hydroxymethylcytosine |
Nucleoside | Dihydrouridine D |
5-Methylcytidine m5C |
Novel bases[edit]
A vast number of nucleobase analogues exist. The most common applications are used as fluorescent probes, either directly or indirectly, such as aminoallyl nucleotide, which are used to label cRNA or cDNA in microarrays. Several groups are working on alternative "extra" base pairs to extend the genetic code, such as isoguanine and isocytosine or the fluorescent 2-amino-6-(2-thienyl)purine and pyrrole-2-carbaldehyde.[citation needed]
In medicine, several nucleoside analogues are used as anticancer and antiviral agents. The viral polymerase incorporates these compounds with non-canon bases. These compounds are activated in the cells by being converted into nucleotides; they are administered as nucleosides as charged nucleotides cannot easily cross cell membranes.[citation needed]
ACGT and ACGU[edit]
ACGT stands for the four nucleic acid bases that make up DNA. The "A" stands for Adenine and pairs with the "T", which stands for Thymine. The "C" stands for Cytosine and pairs with the "G", Guanine. These four nucleic acids make up a creature's genetic code, or DNA.[7]
ACGU stands for the four amino acids that make up RNA. RNA pairs up the same as DNA, except that Thymine is replaced with Uracil.[7]

If you're new to Hooker, start either with this CD or "Healer". Healer is also an excellent recording (it does, however, have a lot more guest musicians). On this disk, you hear a more diluted Hooker, but you need to hear this before you hear the real raw Hooker.
The first track with Los Lobos is excellent - makes you want to get up and dance. Second and Fourth track are duets with Morrison and are both excellent work. Red House is a take on a Hendrix classic, and while the guitar work can't compare to the Hendrix guitar, the vocals, I thought, are a lot better, grittier, more bluesy than Hendrix's own version.
Get it - you won't regret it.
To sound this good at his age is like sipping a fine vintage wine.
Long live Hooker!

text: 10 October 2003 archive Tweet See all show photos IF pretty cotton sundresses are not your thing, then Emanuel Ungaro offers a collection filled with vixen-like frocks with serious va va voom. For his summer collection, designer Giambattista Valli displayed his trademark soft chiffon wisps, but this time incorporated them into harder, edgier looks that smacked of J-Lo glamour. Minidresses were slashed every which way and draped seductively over décolletés and arms. They came in a variety of colours from pale pink and lilac, to bright orange tiger-striped and were teamed with killer stiletto sandals in metallic hues. Hotpants were also a main attraction, paired with vest tops and scarves casually wrapped around the neck - très chic. Meanwhile Spanish-style blouses featured in variety of floral prints, as did gorgeous satin drainpipe trousers. And don't forget the swimwear - ruched bikinis and one-pieces in citrus-brights littered the catwalk and came above softly flowing sarongs or underneath wrap-around jackets. Pure St Tropez.

The Ten x Ten Challenge
In honour of Team Rapha, a group of riders representing Rapha at the inaugural Cent Cols Challenge sportive, we have set out to document ten days of challenging ourselves to do ten things in a row. Whilst we will not be riding 100 Alpine cols, we still aim to make it somewhat testing, if a little pointless. First up is the task of consuming ten fig rolls (the cyclist's favourite energy hit) in a minute.
