It's not often that the creator of a fabled PC strategy franchise announces a major launch game for an experimental new handheld system in the comments section of an online article, but who's going to complain when it happens? A commenter on Gamasutra's article "Putting the XCOM in XCOM" who claims to be Julian Gollop, one of the designers behind the original X-Com, recently revealed that he's developing "a turn-based tactical RPG which will be a 3DS launch title." "Turn-based tactical RPG" sounds a lot like what the original X-Com series was, before 2K decided to reboot it as a first person shooter, that is. Could Gollop's new game be a new title in the proper X-Com series? Hit the jump to find out. Read More

|With 13 albums, 5 Grammys and 200 million albums sold, no one would blame Mariah Carey if she chose to kick off her signature stilettos and just take it easy with her husband Nick Cannon. Not a chance! In the last few years, the 44-year-old songbird released her 13th album, "Merry Christmas II You," debuted a new fragrance, Mariah Carey Dreams, and turned out a critically-acclaimed performance in "Precious." In fact, the only nod Carey is making to her veteran status is the revival of the natural curls she wore on her very first album cover. Let's just hope that the break from blowouts will give the diva some well-earned time for bubble baths and beauty sleep.

Jobs mismatch still a reality-A A +A
Saturday, March 29, 2014
WHEN graduates scramble for work after college, skills become their only fighting chance to win over the employers.
Department of Labor and Employment-Davao Region (Dole-11) regional director Atty. Joffrey Suyao said employers are now more keen on the skills rather than the educational background of the applicants, which gives rise to the problem of jobs mismatch.
"Ano ba ang problema bakit hindi nae-employ ang ating mga graduates, supposedly ito yun nakapag-aral, ito yung may skills, but then when we talk to industries ang sasabihin nila, they don't have the skills that they are looking for or they might have the skills but it's not much of what they need," he said.
In Dole parlance, jobs mismatch means when the job seekers do not match the skills requirement of the employers.
"It's a major problem, and it's the problem not only common sa Pilipinas. It's not only isolated to the Philippines because this is a problem worldwide," he said.
The jobs mismatch, he said, forms a major part of the unemployment rate.
With this, the labor department is in serious talk with the education sector to update their course curricula that will bring the skills closer, if not at par with the standards of the industries.
"We talk to our our training education sector: DepEd, Ched, and Tesda. Sinasabihan natin sila na ito yung kailangan ng industries, why don't you supply these skills. Ito yung demand," he said.
On the supply side, the labor official said educational institutions are slowly becoming receptive to their appeal to review their course curricula, if indeed, they are producing graduates with the right skill set for the companies on the demand side.
"That's why, in Davao Region, we have what we call JobsFit, a document that details out which industries need more workforce and what skills," he said.
According to JobsFit released in June last year, the agriculture, hunting, and forestry still top the employment forecast from 2010 to 2016 in the region.
For 2014 employment forecast, the number of jobs is expected to reach 672,100 jobs, which is expected to increase further to 673,730 jobs by 2015 and 675,350 jobs by 2016.
Trailing behind is wholesale and retail industries with 379,230 jobs for 2014, which is seen to reach 390,800 by 2015, and 402,380 jobs by 2016.
Listed as the third highest job generators are transportation, storage, and communication with an employment forecast of 135,430 jobs in 2014, which will grow to 138,600 jobs and 141,780 jobs by 2016.
Manufacturing comes the fourth highest with employment forecast of 119,230 in 2014; 122,950 in 2015; and 126,630 in 2016.
Dole 11 assistant regional director Venerando Cebrano said the growth of the manufacturing will give rise to the number of other job-generating sectors that will stir the local economy of the region.
"Sabi nila mas mataas ang economy pagka marami ang nagma-manufacture. That's one good theory. So, if a region is into manufacturing, then it's a good region," he said.
With its high demand for labor requirement, more jobseekers will be employed in manufacturing alone, plus the other sectors will benefit in the process as an offshoot of these companies' operations.
He said, for instance, many of the manufacturing companies have high demand for necessary tools and equipment and other logistics that will redound to inclusive growth.
"Whereas kung nagtatanim at nagproproduce ka lang ng banana, what you earn is from export, plus only those people (directly involved in the production) can benefit," he said.
"That's one of the best efforts of our investment system in the city. In that way, maraming tao ang ma-eemploy," he added.
Meanwhile, construction industry comes the fifth highest, registering an employment forecast of 86,880 jobs in 2014; 89,200 jobs in 2015; and 91,530 jobs in 2016.
Suyao also said that the region is still recouping in terms of employment rate after Typhoon Pablo wrecked havoc the region in December 2012, toppling its top job generator -- agriculture.
Despite the calamities, the labor official still cited Davao as among the most resilient regions in Mindanao.
Based on the data released by National Statistics Office (NSO), the employment rate in Northern Mindanao was down by 1.4 from 94.4 percent in January 2013 to 93 percent in January 2014. The employment rate in Soccsksargen, meanwhile, inched up a bit to 96 percent as of January 2014 as compared to 95.2 percent in the same period last year.
The Davao Region was only down by 0.1 percent or 93.6 percent as of January this year as compared to 93.7 percent in the same period last year.
It sustained its employment rate at 93.7 percent in January 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012.
Davao Region's underemployment rate, defined as the number of employees who are unsatisfied with their current jobs, was reported at 19.7 percent as of January 2014, lower than the 21.1 percent registered in the same period in 2013.
However, the 2013 and 2014 underemployment rates in the region were still much higher as against in January 2012 figure with 15 percent.
Based on the Project JobsFit, Dole 11 listed five more emerging industries that are potentially huge job generators in the region. These are real estate and renting; mining and quarrying; fishing; health and social work; and financial intermediation.
"All of these industries are project to deliver a total of 209,400 jobs in 2013 and expected to rise to 250,875 jobs in 2016 or about 20 percent increase employments," it said.
The unemployment and underemployment rates were affected by environmental factors, including typhoon Pablo and the low pressure areas that dumped rain and created devastation floods.
Historically, Suyao added unemployment rate usually spikes by April, as more graduates will be joining the supply side hunting for jobs.
With the holding of job fairs, Suyao added Dole 11 can improve the employment rate.
"Mag-iimprove na naman siya kahit papano pagdating ng third quarter," he said.
There are three major job fair events that Dole spearheads annually, including the Labor Day Job Fair on May 1. The two others are Independence Day (Kalayaan) Job Fair on June 12 and the Dole anniversary Job Fair on December 8. Among the three, Labor Day Job Fair is the biggest, with more than 30,000 job openings for domestic and abroad.
With the obvious lack, he said Philippines is working with other members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nation (Asean) through sharing of best practices as to how to significantly improve the labor force.
"It (jobs mismatch) contributes major to the unemployment problem, if the industries could not hire the students because the skills that they need really are not with the students or graduates. There's really a ballooning problem of unemployment," he added.
"That's why, we have Tesda as a bridge, from school to them, para ma-enhance ang employability. Even the out-of-school-youth pinapasok sa Tesda," he said.
The implementation of the K to 12 is also seen to improve labor force, what with the inclusion of two years in high school that seeks to expose students in vocational courses.

MUSC Hollings Cancer Center Study Finds Air Quality Significantly Improved in Charleston Area Businesses Covered by Smoke-Free Laws
Air Pollution Decreased 94 Percent across Tested Venues in Charleston
and Mt. Pleasant
July 29, 2008, Charleston, SC — New findings from a study conducted by researchers at the Medical University of South Carolina Hollings Cancer Center (HCC) revealed significantly improved air quality in bars and restaurants in Charleston and Mt. Pleasant where smoke-free ordinances were implemented last year.
With a 94 percent reduction in air pollution, the air quality in the places included in the study fell well within safe limits set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), said HCC Cancer Control Specialist Matthew Carpenter, PhD, who led the study.
"We know that hospitality employees are exposed to secondhand smoke, which is an established cause of lung cancer," Carpenter said. "These results show that smoke-free legislation effectively reduces exposure and that such legislation protects hospitality employees from a known cancer risk," Carpenter said.
The study began in 2006 when the researchers analyzed air quality in 23 venues that allowed smoking in Charleston and 11 in Mt. Pleasant. These same venues were tested again in 2008 following passage of local smoke-free ordinances. The City of Charleston established a smoke-free ordinance in public places in July 2007; the Town of Mt. Pleasant followed with a similar ordinance in September 2007.
The study also examined air quality in 10 establishments in North Charleston, which does not have a smoke-free ordinance, and found that air pollution there remains more than three times higher than the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) considers safe.
"Everyone has the right to breathe clean air, especially at work," said Dianne Wilson of the South Carolina African American Tobacco Control Network, who funded the study. "These tests show that workers protected by smoke-free ordinances have a tremendous health advantage over workers in cities that have failed to pass protective measures."
The study's findings were independently reviewed by Roswell Park Cancer Institute in Buffalo, NY.

Is it possible to buy a portable vaporizer in Montreal ?
I live in montreal and i can't find a portable vaporizer to buy, i would enjoy if someone answers back to me, thank you
Facebook Comments
0 VotesYour best bet for a vaporizer might be to look online. Online vaporizer stores tend to have a much larger selection of different products, than any type of normal brick and mortar head shop you might find. The Inhalater is my currently my favorite portable vaporizer on the market right now, and there is free shipping to Canada if you buy at The Other Side Vapes. I like the Inhalater more than my Arizer Solo, and much more than the Magic Flight, Iolite, or Vapir NO2 portable vaporizers.

A Woman's Guide to Cancer Screenings
You run two miles every other day and lift weights twice a week. You've been trying to eat more fruits and vegetables and less meat. You don't smoke. When it comes to your health, you figure you've got everything covered. But when was the last time you saw your doctor for a health screening?
Preventive care screenings are vital to everyone's health. For women, Pap smears, clinical breast exams, and mammograms are important tools for early detection of disease. Yet many women don't have these tests. There are many reasons for this: no time, fear of finding something, or forgetfulness. If you are afraid of getting bad news, remember this: The vast majority of screening tests come back normal, and even those that don't often do not mean cancer is present. These screenings can help you and your doctor catch cancer at an early stage, when it can be treated successfully.
Health screenings are an investment in your future. Here is a guide to screenings that the American Cancer Society (ACS) and the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists say every woman at average cancer risk needs for continued good health. These recommendations are for the average woman. Some women with higher risk may need to be screened with a different schedule because of a personal or family history of cancer. Talk with your provider to determine what schedule is best for you.
Pap smear
Pap smears can detect pre-cancerous changes in the cells of your cervix before they become cancer. They can also detect cervical cancer in its early stages, when it can be treated most easily. So getting regular Pap smears gives you a better chance of preventing cancer. Occasionally, Pap smears can also help detect some cancers of the uterus and other parts of the female reproductive system.
How is it performed?
During a Pap smear, your doctor will gently scrape cells from the outside of the cervix, which connects the uterus to the vagina. These cells are sent to a lab for analysis. If your doctor tells you your Pap smear results are abnormal, it does not necessarily mean you have cancer. Abnormal cells may indicate an infection or another cause, or they may signal pre-cancerous changes in your cells. If you have an abnormal Pap smear, your doctor will do follow-up tests to determine the cause.
Many women feel uncomfortable about having a Pap smear. If you are nervous about having a Pap smear, talk with your doctor. There may be things he or she can do to make you feel more comfortable.
How often?
According to The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, you should have your baseline or first Pap smear about three years after you first have sex (vaginal intercourse) or when you reach your 21st birthday. At first you should have a Pap smear every two years, but the frequency of the test may change based on your health history and age. If your results come back normal three or more times in a row, your doctor may recommend having a Pap smear less often.
After three or more normal results at or after age 30, and depending upon your risk factors, your doctor may recommend that you have Pap smears every three years. Women ages 65 or 70 and older who have had three or more normal Pap tests and no abnormal Pap tests in the past 10 years and women who have had a total hysterectomy, based on their doctor's advice, may choose to stop cervical cancer screening. If you have gone through menopause, you still may need to have Pap smears.
Clinical breast exams
A clinical breast exam is an exam of the breast by a doctor or other health professional.
It is important to know how your breasts usually look and feel. You may want to talk with your health care provider about breast self exams. If you feel any lumps or notice any other changes, talk with your doctor as soon as possible.
How is it performed?
The doctor will carefully feel the breasts and under the arms for lumps or anything else that seems unusual. If any abnormalities are found, you may need a mammogram.
How often?
For women 20 to 39, the ACS recommends that clinical breast examination (CBE) be part of a periodic health examination, preferably at least every three years. Asymptomatic women ages 40 and older should continue to receive a CBE as part of a periodic health examination, preferably every year.
A mammogram is an X-ray of the breast. It is a safe, effective way to detect cancerous tumors and other abnormal breast conditions. Mammograms can locate a tumor before it can be easily felt and while it is easier to treat.
How is it performed?
During a mammogram, a technician will X-ray each breast twice, once from above and once from the side. To do this, each breast must be compressed between two flat plates so that an accurate image can be taken. This can be uncomfortable, but it only lasts a few seconds. It may help to schedule this test for the week after your menstrual period, when your breasts are less tender and lumpy. On the day of the mammogram, do not use deodorants, lotions, or powders. These products can show up on the image.
Digital mammography, which is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), records X-ray images in computer code and stores them electronically instead of on X-ray film, as with conventional mammography. There is no difference in your preparation or the procedure for a mammogram with a digital system.
If any abnormalities show up on the mammogram, your doctor may recommend more tests and maybe a biopsy (removal of a small amount of tissue) to check for cancer.
Get your mammogram at a site approved by the FDA for conventional or digital mammography. The FDA ensures that facilities across the country meet quality standards for safety and reliability.
How often?
The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends a mammogram every two years for women aged to 50 to 74. The ACS and other organizations have different age recommendations. Talk with your doctor about when you should start having mammograms, and how often you should have them. He or she will make a recommendation based on your risk and your medical and family history.
Colorectal cancer screening
Regular screening tests for colorectal cancer should start at age 50 for women at average risk. There are different kinds of tests that can be done and each has its own recommended schedule.
What is the test?
How often?
Fecal occult blood test (FOBT)* with at least 50 percent test sensitivity for cancer, or fecal immunochemical test (FIT) with at least 50 percent sensitivity for cancer, OR
Annual, starting at age 50
Stool DNA test, OR
Interval uncertain, starting at age 50
Flexible sigmoidoscopy, OR
Every five years, starting at age 50
Double-contrast barium enema, OR
Every five years, starting at age 50
Colonoscopy, OR
Every 10 years, starting at age 50
CT colonoscopy
Every five years, starting at age 50
*FOBT as it is sometimes done in physicians' offices, with the single stool sample collected on a fingertip during a digital rectal examination, is not an adequate substitute for the recommended at-home procedure of collecting two samples from three consecutive specimens. Toilet bowl FOBT tests also are not recommended. In comparison with guaiac-based tests for the detection of occult blood, immunochemical tests are more patient-friendly, and are likely to be equal or better in sensitivity and specificity.
There is no justification for repeating FOBT in response to an initial positive finding.

A Prostate massage, otherwise known as a P-Spot massage or male milking, is a process where the male prostate gland is stimulated for sexual pleasure or for purposes. All men must undergo a prostate examination as they enter their middle-ages in order to test for prostate cancer.
The two objectives for a prostate milking is to help release the buildup of excess seminal fluid that causes pain for men with prostate issues. The standard seminal ejaculation is believed to sustain a healthier prostate gland. However, recent studies have shown that the stagnated fluid may result in several prostate issues such as prostate cancer or engorged prostate gland.
The outcome of a prostate massage results in an extremely intense and possibly, a dry orgasm. There are several techniques to stimulating the male g-spot, usually through the use of an anal vibrator, butt plugs, and male prostate massagers (male sex toys). Current studies demonstrate that over 60% of men are unsatisfied with their orgasms. It should be noted that prostate orgasms offer long-term health benefits to your prostate gland.
Prostate massage techniques involve a variety ways of stimulating the male g-spot to produce a prostate orgasm. It should also be noted that a prostate orgasm is much more prolonged and pleasurable than your regular orgasm.
How To Perform A Prostate Massage
1) You will need latex gloves, water-based lubricant. Sex toys are optional.
2) You will need to either lay on your back with your legs elevated, or bent over against a counter. Laying on your back is most comfortable.
3) With some personal lubricant on your toy or your fingers, slowly massage around the anus to prepare for the anal probe. When you are comfortable enough, or warmed up, slowly penetrate the anus and lightly massage around until you come across a small bump that will provide you with a tingle of stimulation. Do not penetrate too far as this may be painful for the man. The prostate gland (p-spot) is located about 2 inches inward.
4) It normally doesn't take a long time to gain a prostate ejaculation. You can alternate between putting pressure on the p-spot to lightly tickling it. Do what you prefer the most.
Improving Prostate Health
For improving your overall prostate health, using natural male enhancement pills with the appropriate ingredients can help to maintain a healthy prostate gland. Here are a few methods of improving your prostate health:
1) Have sex regularly to promote a healthy prostate. Semen production enhances a male's chances of staying free of prostate problems, including prostate cancer.
2) Taking Natural Dietary Supplements with the following ingredients: Saw Palmetto, L-Arginine, Lycopene Omega 3, Antioxidants, Vitamin A, Gingko Biloba. See our SinRex Male Enhancement Pills for better prostate nutritional supplements.
3) The following foods are a great source of the above prostate enhancers; Fish oil, Flax seed oil, Red Clover, tomatoes, Green Tea, vegetables & fruits.
Things To Avoid for Better Prostate Health
1) Smoking
2) Drugs & Alcohol
3) Being inactive

The Research Alliance is different
The Research Alliance provides a very different way of buying international research. You may be disillusioned with the main alternatives; a large research monolith which claims consistency of quality across the globe but does not deliver at the local level. Or smaller agencies who can only offer limited ad hoc relationships in selected markets.
The Research Alliance offers the strength of a truly global network combined with the quality, flexibility and more 'personal service' of medium-sized operations. You can buy into this proposition by contacting any Research Alliance member who will be able to coordinate your international research needs.
The Research Alliance is local
Whilst we appreciate the need to deliver global solutions in global markets, we recognise that international research also has to work at a local level to be effective. Each Research Alliance member is a local expert and we harness that local knowledge to deliver international research cost-effectively.
The Research Alliance is responsive
All Research Alliance member companies are managed on a day-to-day basis by their working directors who are often also owners of their business. This higher level of commercial awareness translates into a set of research agencies which is agile and flexible in its ability to constantly respond to ever-changing project and client needs. The absence of bureaucratic layers means we can focus upon your business and less so on our own.
The Research Alliance is built on trust
Trust is an intangible quality and normally takes time to develop. Research Alliance partners have worked together for many years. We know each other at a company level but also at a personal level. Such close relationships engender trust over time such that Research Alliance clients know that they can rely upon their chosen contact in the same way that all members know they can rely upon each other.
What we do?
The Research Alliance members provide a wide variety of both qualitative and quantitative services. Among the main types of research provided by mainly all members are the following:
- Healthcare, Medical & Pharmaceutical
- Retail Category, Display & Pricing Management
- Packaging Development & Harmonization
- Corporate Issues, Reputation & Stakeholder Polling
- Automotive Products & Services
- New Product Development including Sensory, Usability Testing
- Industrial, Scientific & Technical Products & Services
- Traditional Qualitative, Ethnographic Studies and Co-Creation Work

Question and answer details
|Dear scholars, as-Salamu `alaykum, I would like to know whether wearing a silver chain around your neck is permissible for males in Islam. Jazakum Allah khayran.
|Muhammad Saleh Al-Munajjid
|Ahmad Kutty
|`Abdul-Fattaah Idrees
Wa `alaykum As-Salamu wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh.
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.
Dear questioner! Thanks a lot for your confidence in us and your eagerness to understand the true teachings of Islam and find guidance. May Allah help us fulfill His Commands!
First of all, we'd like to state that the Prophet (peace and blessings be on him) declared that a woman should not wear a man's clothing or vice versa. He cursed men who imitate women and women who imitate men. (Reported by Al-Bukhari and others.) Aspects of such imitation include the manner of speaking, walking, dressing, moving, and so on. Therefore, it is not permissible for men to wear chains even if they are silver chains.
In this regard, Sheikh M. S. Al-Munajjid, a prominent Saudi Muslim lecturer and author, states:
With regard to wearing chains, this is not permissible for men, because this is an imitation of women, and there is no report that says that it is permissible for men to wear chains made of silver.
Wearing adornments on the wrist and neck, and on the ears, is an imitation of women, as this is something that is only for women. So it is not permissible for men to wear bracelets, earrings, anklets, or chains.
Sheikh Ahmad Kutty, a senior lecturer and Islamic scholar at the Islamic Institute of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, adds:
Generally speaking, it is considered either forbidden or undesirable for men to wear silver chains or bracelets, the reason being that it is considered as copying women in their specific form of attire or adornments. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has warned us against copying women in their attire or style of dress or adornments.
Furthermore, we are advised to follow as closely as possible the life-style of As-Salaf As-Salih (the pious predecessors); there is no mention in the sources that they ever wore such adornments. They only wore rings or artificial teeth and the like that do not fall in the category of adornments or jewelry.
Moreover, the eminent Muslim scholar Dr. `Abdel-Fattah Idrees, Professor of Comparative Jurisprudence at Al-Azhar University states:
Dearest brother, you should know that wearing a chain around the neck is a characteristic of women, who do so to beautify themselves for their husbands.
Men wearing these forms of adornments or chains imitate women, which is unlawful in Islam. In this context, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) is reported to have said, "May Allah curse men who imitate women, and vice versa."
Accordingly, it is unlawful for men to wear such chains irrespective of whether they are made of gold or not.
Allah Almighty knows best.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Metro Nashville Public Schools have officially launched the redesign of its middle schools.
All Metro Middle Schools will now be transformed into the Middle Preps of Nashville. District officials made the announcement Wednesday morning at the Adventure Science Center.
Officials believe the new name serves as a symbol for how students in the middle grades will be prepared for high school, college and life.
"There's a perception in the community that our middle schools might not be as safe or a quality environment for kids and we wanted to combat that perception," Chief Academic Officer Jay Steele said.
The district believes students in those grade levels are at one of the most important times of their lives. Middle Preps will now focus on the individual student with personalized experiences and attention.
"They are not yet grown up enough to make all their own decisions, but not young enough to depend entirely on parents and teachers," Dr. Antoinette Williams, Metro Schools' Executive Officer for middle schools, said in a statement. "Middle school students are an interesting group and present an interesting challenge. So we are challenged to change our approach to educating them."
Some of the specific course of actions being taken in Middle Preps include every student having access to extracurricular activities, as well as a focus on the transitions between 4th and 5th grade as well as between 8th and 9th grade.
"With this initiative a good classroom is a busy classroom with lots of talking, lots of movement," Dr. Ted Murcray, IT Creswell Middle Prep Principal said. "Lots of kids interacting with each other and creating ideas together."
Every Middle School will also offer at least one class for high school credit.
Additionally, 185 middle school students serve as Middle Prep ambassadors. They will represent their schools at public events as well as participate in parent and community outreach.

TOPS (The Over-volunteering Protection System) is a web-based system that is currently used by a variety of CRO's, Academic institutions and Pharmaceutical companies to monitor the participants of trials in the UK. The system currently has more than 95,000 registered volunteers.
To add volunteers to TOPS the consent of the volunteer must be received as well as the following details:
- National Insurance number (for UK citizens) or Passport Number and country of origin (if not a UK citizen).
- The date of the last dose of study medicine.
This data can only be accessed by the investigating unit in question and by other medical research organisations. All volunteer details are kept for a minimum of two years.
Upon accessing TOPS, users will be able to search for volunteers using their ID number (ie. National Insurance number or Passport number).
Subjects will be registered at the point of screening for a trial and the "last dose date" will be updated if and when the volunteer is dosed on a particular study. If the subject is not dosed then there is an option in TOPS to show that the subject was "never dosed".
Contact details for units at which the volunteer has previously attended trials will be available as well as their last dose date.

A bike reborn
The simple joy had by transforming a 30-year-old geared bike into a singlespeed
A Surley singlespeed 16-tooth cassette and cog replaced the aging Suntour and original Dia Compe derailleur.
Preparing to move to Minneapolis in 1980, my grandfather asked me to visit. A quiet man of great influence in my life, he offered a going away gift. He paid for a new bike I wanted to ride around the University of Minnesota campus and Twin Cities as I had the roads surrounding my hometown of Milwaukee.
More than 30 years later that Ross Utopian still hangs in my garage. Other bikes have replaced that Ross yet the emotional tie I had to the bike was too strong to just give it away. Taken out for a few short rides once in a while, the bike has remained in a state of limbo season after season.
I spent hundreds of hours on a road bike training for Ironman Wisconsin. While those rides were a means to a memorable end, the training regimes that required religiously documenting miles covered, cadence targets and power meter readings overwhelmed the simple joy of riding a bike.
As spring 2013 arrived, I lifted that decades old steel-framed Ross down from the garage hooks, brushed away the cobwebs and sat on the cracked saddle. Still equipped with the first generation of Look click-in pedals, I recalled how embarrassing it was to crash in front of a crowd of experienced cyclists when I couldn't pull my cycling shoes out of the clips fast enough. Despite all the Ironman training miles on my other bike, the still shiny blue Ross had carried me through far more miles of cross-town jaunts, century rides and explorations of Minnesota's blue highways.
Equipped with what was once considered "state of the art" components, the Ross's 12-speed drive train needed attention before I could consider using the bike regularly again. Pondering upgrading the 30-year old bike, I faced too many options and decisions. Once again, the complexity of cycling was threatening to overwhelm my longing for a simple ride. While I'm not a bike technology technophobe and have spent hours pouring over specifications for a new triathlon bike that's on my wish list, my intentions for the Ross were much more basic. I wanted a bike to ride to the library, transport me to the trailhead for a training run and most important to just wander around the neighborhood.
With the help of Alex Heegaard-LeGros, Minneapolis bike builder and owner of Inland Bicycle Company, I decided to turn the Utopian into a singlespeed commuter.
"Most people probably learned to ride a bike on a singlespeed. They didn't worry about cadence or shifting before a certain point on a hill or worry about that ticking noise from the shifters. They wanted to just go out and ride," Heegaard-LeGros said.
Singlespeed and fixed gear bikes have been a hot trend in the cycling community for several years. My interest in the conversion was less about taking part in that fad than revisiting the reasons I love to ride a bike in the first place. Converting my 30-year-old Ross seemed a better means to that end than buying another new bike to add to an already over-crowded garage.
Heegaard-LeGros understood my point of view. "It's a simpler experience. Riders don't have to worry about what gear they are in, what gear they should be in," he said. "You are getting a simple, easy to maintain ride that doesn't have all the little bits that modern shifting requires to be frequently adjusted."
Although the singlespeed and fixie craze has ebbed a bit, Heegaard-LeGros said he still sees a steady stream of customers seeking to bring old bikes like mine back to life. "This is a great way to keep riding. There is a nostalgia factor involved. People like the way the frame looks and the way it fits them," he said. "These are bikes people want to have a relationship with."
The process of rebuilding the Utopian was a mix of fashion and function. New tape on the handlebars and a new classically styled leather seat updated the bike's look. On the performance side, new modern rims and tires replaced the original out-of-true wheelset. A SRAM Courier crankset, Wipperman nickel-plated chain and a Surly singlespeed 16-tooth cassette cog replaced the aging Suntour and original Dia Compe derailleur and shifting mechanisms.
When I picked up the finished bike at Heegaard-LeGros' shop, snow and ice still crusted Minneapolis streets with temperatures below freezing. Still, there was no hesitation, no waiting for a warmer day. A friend, away for far too long, had returned.
Perched on the seat, the fit familiar and the blue paint shined and polished, I recalled the contentment I felt the day I purchased the bike. Within moments of turning the updated pedals I found myself reaching for the shifters once mounted on the Utopian's down tubes. Smiling to myself, I sat up and just pedaled around the neighborhood getting used to the singlespeed drive train. I rode for an hour with no clear destination in mind. No miles to track, no heart rate to monitor, no bike computer to calibrate. Just gliding down the asphalt and experiencing the simple joy of riding a bike reborn.

|Calgary Downtown Tour
|Looking East at 8 Avenue and 8 Street SW
Love it or hate it, the Nova building definitely makes a statement. I like the building, if for no other reason than its accent on plants and trees. It has a striking atrium on the west side, looking out onto Centennial Park. This is one of several towers in Calgary where the developers have left a legacy in the form of a park or gardens in some very expensive real-estate.
Century Gardens Park is an interesting attempt to meld concrete, water and trees. In the summer its waterways spill over large concrete shapes to bring a calming splashing sound to offset the constant flow of traffic around its boundaries. It takes on a starker tone in winter, when the water is drained to prevent ice damage, but that is balanced by the evergreens.
