Two years after the first Clean video was released, Clean 002 is here! Put together after almost 15,000 miles of travelling and nine months of filming, this is the latest in the Clean video series. Filmed throughout the UK (with a couple of trips to France and the Netherlands), Clean 002 features riding from Flipp, Carl Hopps, Mark Westlake, and Alastair Clarkson. Covering a range of styles from super tech brakeless riding through to huge gaps and drops, video 002 is full of innovative and creative riding. Taking inspiration from BMX, trials, and mountain biking, this video shows the new direction that riding is being pushed by these four riders.
If you'd like to see some extra clips, crashes and random events that went down while filming for Clean 002, check out the '
' edit.

galenmac, please review the whole video. The argument is only possibly valid for the first guy (or 2?). If you think about it, its basically a bmx bar with a long reach stem. I bet they dont make long reach bmx stems. They use the long 45 degree angle stem and mtn bike bars on these bikes to replace them... but we all know mtn bike bars feel better anyways, so who wouldn't?

99%?? That's debatable.
Anyway, For almost 5 years solidly I rode trials(20" wheeled 'Monty' and a 26" wheeled 'Megamo') and on and off for the last 10 I've rode both MTB's and BMX - so I think I have a license to view my opinions on what looks cool or not.
If there was a 'cool-wall' for bikes/riding styles, 20" wheeled trials bikes wouldn't get a look-in.......neither would XC biking come to think of it. Just saying.
It's obvious we all ride bikes for the fun, the thrill etc but one way or another Biking in any form(well almost) is about display/showing off etc etc...And there's nothing at all wrong with that. It's just from a spectators point of view some disciplines look better than others.
Agreeably the term 'Twat' was a bit harsh...Apologies!
Anyway let the hatred commence!

Sorry, but I just skipped Mark's section... it really bugs me to watch people after all we've learned about concussions still riding with no helmet riding in a concrete environment. Nobody is so good in trials that they won't ever fuck up a backhop, pedal kick, whatever fall backwards and crack the back of the head on concrete or a railing. I feel irresponsible just watching. I did enjoy the other riders in the edit and i probably would liked Mark's too.

I think it SHOULDNT have been VOD because of that too. Probably going to get negative props for saying that. Still awesome riding none the less, but seriously its a poor example for any grommits on here. and to anyone watching Mark do that in public, they probably thought he was stupid too.

(Dec 22, 2012 at 18:50)
To clarify, I don't think he's a stupid person and he's really developed some talent there. I just that the dude could make some better choices regarding protection. Anyway, if it's any consolation I'm sure many people already think he's an odd one for riding a bike in that "Strange" style -
- i'm sure wearing a helmet instead of a beanie doesn't help or hinder that case and it's so common now almost nobody will rag on you for doing so. Might as well buckle up.

Unless you are a parent worried about your child, the whole " you should be wearing a helmet" argument needs to f*cking die. If you have enough brain capacity to log on to this forum and post then you should be able to make your own life decisions. If you want to wear a helmet .... Wear a f*cking helmet, if not then that's fine too. If not... Good for you. In the grand scheme of things you should go to church too, no premarital sex, brush your teeth at least 15 minutes, wear your seat belt, dont speed.......etc. etc. etc. and don't forget to floss.

Hey Bike Trials,
Get off your goddam stroppy high horse and listen up you idiot. I don't give a flying whatever if you do or not wish to wear a helmet when you are riding etc etc etc, but what I do object to is people like you telling the world around them to shut up and get a life blah blah blah when it is those very people around you who will be caring for you for the rest of their goddam lives should you have an accident. Yep, read that agin you idiot. Your parents, brothers, sisters, husbands, wives, kids or whoever that should "get a life" will have just that, their life, taken away from them whilst they are looking after your sorry arse. Wear a helmet idiot, period. If you don't you lack basic respect for those around you who have to pick up the pieces.

Anybody want to yell at Josh Bryceland for not wearing a helmet in Earthed? He wasn't wearing a shirt, either. I thought this was the generation of people not telling people what to do, who to marry, what to believe in, etc. In the end, it's a personal decision. I hate censorship... if there's videos of people not wearing helmets, so be it.

(Dec 22, 2012 at 23:22)
I don't think that's really what bike trials was getting at. I wear a helmet all the time. Full face, certified, fitted and buckled. My noggins an expensive asset, I get that, by now most of us do. But touting "oh i won't watch this because he's not wearing a helmet" is getting so old. It seems people are just saying it nowadays to look like a helmet hero, get a pat on the back. If people want to ride without one, their loss, and there's jack shit that you can do about it. That's it. If you want to brood in your own negativity or feel like you're part of some new healthy movement. Do so without cluttering PB.

Helmet is down to personal preference, Mark never wears a helmet in any of the videos he is in that i have seen. Who cares, his bike is LUSH!

Obviously, it is up to every individual whether he wants to ride with a helmet or without one. However, sometimes i wish people would realise that they are being looked up to by many young riders. I dont think its okay that most pro bmxers choose not to ride their helmets, since this gives a vibe that if you bmx (or ride trials in this case), you dont need one, which is obviously very dangerous to the newcomers in the scene.

the helmet police in here! it way more annoying to hear you bitch about people not wearing helmets than it is to watch them not wear them. the ONLY videos i see wear people wear helmets primarily is in mountain biking. look at every skate/bmx/ski/board video... almost no helmets. get over yourselves, sit back, and enjoy the skull crunching
+ 0
(Dec 23, 2012 at 13:05)
I'm not the helmet police nor am I your mommy. Though I might be yo' daddy. Don't wear a helmet, it's a free country. See how it works out, maybe i'll write your folks for you.
I want to know would these guys feel just as good riding by themselves without a helmet knowing nobody was watching them? What is the motivation here for these guys, to be better riders or just do dangerous shit and get hurt? I've seen a lot of BMX "skull crushing" videos that are all in the latter and would rather not see anymore. I've had my fill of that.
I realize this is the internets, but do you honestly think these riders are invincible and you're not accountable for watching them perform for you? Riders uploading videos of them hitting shit without safety gear never get my respect(not that you or they probably care, but hey it's a free country) and i'd never host or popularize that type of riding(again it's a free country i can pick what i want to host on my website). Which is exactly what i'm against in the instance. Hosting this stuff in a way glorifies rolemodels who engage in dufus behaviour and legtimizes the idea in some heads it is OK and "just" a personal choice to do shit without safety gear. I've read that same sentence a thousand times around here already. Maybe it's not a big deal in this particular video, but who knows what the effects are?
I also wonder what is pinkbike's policy here? They play a large role in creating an image for many riders, I want to know if they've even thought about it? I know i'm ranting now, so i'll stop myself.

I always find it interesting that I read the "Hey, it's a personal choice, and it's a free country" (though I do see 5 flags in the thread) line in any helmet tirade. The attempt, it seems to me, is to stifle the free expression of those with differing opinions. If you really feel that strongly about freedom of expression, then consider how you respond to those whose perspectives differ from yours. Honor the difference, support the right of the person who differs from you in perspective, and then make up your own mind as to how you will act (wear a helmet or not, watch the video or not). But please be consistent if you say you support freedom of expression, whatever your take on the issue. We hear enough vitriol in political circles, certain religious circles and the like, and really, we here are cyclists- clearly with a variety of ways of expressing our love for the sport (both in word and actions) and flaming each other because we don't see eye to helmet on a topic seems somehow counter productive.
Happy New Year, and give trials a try. It'll kick your but and teach you new skills! That brakeless riding humbles me.
+ 1
(Dec 23, 2012 at 18:54)
Come on... It may be nice to have panglossian talk of honouring differences at such a festive time of year, but I certainly shouldn't have to participate in the promotion of them as equal in potential harm, objective truth or scientific validity. Besides if I just sat back and laughed at dudes hitting their heads it would include a willful blindness that would make me guilty.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not going to come down there like your mommy and put a lid on your head. I am certainly going to voice my opinion here when I see a video promoting it to the masses. By hosting it on the front page the site is essentially giving the riding styles inside a nod. It's important if we want to improve our sport not to just sit around with our hands in our pockets shrugging about the differences that matter not only to getting your trail/park insured, but to people's quality of life when the screw up a stunt. How many views is this up to, how many people watch it and see un-helmeted aggressive riding as normalized and have it reinforced that "pros" ride without helmets. Do you think Leech rides without a lid in front of all the school kids when he demos at them... Why not? This is why it bugs me.
+ 1
(Dec 23, 2012 at 20:06)
It bugs me too. What bugs me is not what bugs someone else, and I am convinced that a person bashed over the head with the opposing perspective is utterly unlikely to embrace it. I'm all for expressing perspective and opinion, and even 'gasp' factual information freely. Even ideas with which I disagree. I believe it is called dialogue.
The point I wanted to make above is that those here (and elsewhere) who say they are for 'free expression' in word or action, are not consistent in espousing that position when confronted with opposition to something they feel is important. To my way of thinking, it is precisely the ability to acknowledge that a perspective is valid to the holder of that perspective and is as worthy of expression as my own, that bears this notion out. What does it say about me if I claim 'it's a free country' but refuse to hear dissenting opinions, and lambaste those who don't see things the way I do. I negate my own claim and lose out on the opportunity to either grow personally, or to have any chance to engage the other in meaningful discussion.
I've not talked with Ryan Leech about helmets, but am planning to have him present to the school at which I teach when he comes through in March. I know he will wear a helmet, but his message is strong because of his character, and willingness to meet each person where s/he is. He is, in my experience someone willing to engage in dialogue and work to come to mutual understandings. Just one of the myriad reasons I have so much respect for him.

Apparently this is too long for posting in one go, so apologies for the formatting…
Do you feel "irresponsible" for Ali riding in a non-CPSC certified helmet (the Protec Lasek Classic), proven to offer over 10 times less protection than a CPSC certified helmet? What about feeling "irresponsible" for Flipp wearing a helmet that doesn't fit him well due to the padding in it and the fact he has the main strap super loose (if you check the '002 B-Sides' edit you'll see Flipp's helmet move on his head when he's lying on his back, proving it won't offer much protection for certain falls and in some could actually make a neck injury more serious)?
I'm not trying to deflect criticism from myself, as clearly wearing a helmet is better than no helmet at all. However, I do find it 'interesting' - for want of a better word - how the 'Helmet debate' is portrayed on here. The wording used and the sentiments expressed appear to be mainly an attempt to posture rather than actually informing or trying to change people's attitudes.
+ 1
(Dec 24, 2012 at 11:03)
If there was genuine concern then surely wearing a helmet incorrectly or wearing a helmet that isn't safe should cause comment too? Flipp's helmet strap can be seen swinging around showing that it's not really doing much, and Ali's helmet is specifically worn by many riders - both pro and am alike - due to it not having the CPSC certified hard inner and therefore having a lower profile. If this crusade is going to continue it seems like it'd make more sense to promote general helmet safety and usage rather than simply making it into a black-and-white 'Helmet vs. No Helmet' issue. Helmet safety doesn't end the moment any helmet fits over your head; lulling yourself into a false sense of security through the use of an ill-fitting or ill-constructed helmet is a problem too, and - again - if there was genuine concern then it seems that these issues should be being brought up too.
As some more constructive feedback to try and further the efficacy of the "Helmet Crusade", attempting to belittle people who choose to not wear helmets by describing them as being 'idiots', doing it to 'look cool', and all the other usual 'reasons' do nothing more than to alienate the people who aren't wearing helmets and make those pushing for their usage to look massively out of touch. I'm not going to explain why I don't here because essentially I'm aware that I'm deluding myself with my justifications or preference for not wearing one, but to try and suggest that I'm doing it to 'look cool' would imply that when I went out riding on my own with no-one around that I'd instantly wear one as I didn't have the pressure of trying to 'look cool'. This isn't the case. Similarly, I don't film, edit and upload videos to gain 'respect'.
+ 1
(Dec 24, 2012 at 11:04)
The type of riding I do is a niche within a niche within the small sphere of the bicycling world. I'm aware that the riding I do isn't 'cool' as it's generally low speed, not that impressive and is usually met with the classic "get a BMX" comments (thanks again for the proof, Pinkbike). Seeing as someone mentioned it, having been called the equivalent of a 'dufus' for simply riding a bike whether I do or don't have a helmet on, I imagine that it's the act of simply riding a bike in the manner I choose to that's going to formulate the general public's opinion of me rather than what I choose to wear. I enjoy the whole process of going out filming and working with riders to get clips they're happy with. I edit because I enjoy the challenge of doing it. I don't seek to get fame and fortune from doing it, and I don't seek to gain respect or admiration from people I will never meet or to try and get a 'Favs' number to rise. In relation specifically to this video, I'd imagine that the few riders likely to take inspiration from what I do will tend to be older, free-thinking riders who are therefore likely to be able to make their own decisions about whether they'd like to wear a helmet. I would imagine anyone will a mind malleable enough to be made to not wear a helmet simply on the basis of seeing me not wear one would probably see Ali's section - which is ridiculous - and see him doing bigger, more impressive tricks whilst also wearing a helmet. I'm under no illusions as to the level of my riding, and as such I'd be very surprised if anyone impressionable enough to use me as a basis for their actions would even remember my riding - let alone what I am/am not wearing on my head - having seen Ali destroy everything in his path.

(Dec 24, 2012 at 11:04)
I'll clarify it again - I'm not saying this to deflect criticism of myself. Reading the incessant "Why is this VOD when he's not wearing a helmet? Think of the children, Pinkbike!" comments has irritated me for quite a while with how superficial they are, but this time being directly involved I feel more right to comment myself.
As a last fun fact, I once got sent over the bars whilst riding and ended up using the corner of the object I was landing on to entirely flatten the bridge of my nose to my face. This also snapped my glasses, embedding one half of them in my eyebrow (for which I now have a scar - for those wondering, yes, having glasses, dark hair and a scar on my forehead did lead to many 'Harry Potter' comments). The whole time I was at the hospital getting my nose reset and my wounds stitched I was constantly berated for not wearing a helmet, despite the fact that I HAD been wearing one. Maybe in years to come a psychiatrist will attribute that experience to be the root cause for me not wearing one now

Right, so sure, Mark can choose what he wears on his head, that's fine, it's a free country and all that. That however is not my point to all of you no-helmet wearers / indemnity of personal choice lovers out there. You wear, or not, what you like. As I said before, I could not give a monkeys what you wear. So don't you dare feel that someone is restricting your choices, if you do, you are completely missing the point.
Mark's, or whoever's husband, wife, mother, son, daughter, father, friends, partner will not have the luxury of a choice if you ever do have a serious head injury. They will feel compelled to care for you. In the worst case scenario, for life.
So, for the sake of clarity, and for your friends' and families' sakes, not yours, because your point of view will not be quite so important if you have a serious head injury, you will be possibly vegetative anyways, is the point I made again just to open your eyes to it because it appears many of you have missed it in a fit of pique.
You lack respect for those people saddled with looking after you if you decide, and it is your choice, not to wear a helmet. Period.
For their sakes, not yours, wear a helmet. Happy Christmas.

Right, so let Mark's family worry about Mark.

(Dec 24, 2012 at 21:38)
Sorry BikeTrials, you still haven't got the logic yet.
It's not about letting someone's family worry about you, they will do that anyways because they are your family. It is consideration of what one's own choice not to wear a helmet would have on them, your family, friends etc that makes it imperative we all wear one.
I am a parent but my kids don't ride. I do. And I wear a helmet, but not to protect me, because given the choice personally I wouldn't always wear one. I wear one because if I don't, and something serious happens to me, my wife and daughter would pay for my choice for the rest of their lives. It is basic respect for what would happen to them that I am talking about and why we all should get off our "Shut up people, let me choose, it's my life" attitude. It's your life until something goes wrong, and then it's everyone else's.
As I said before, and will continue to do so. Basic lack of respect for others if you choose not to wear one.

Mark does not need me to defend him as he is more than capable of doing that himself. As his father I would look after him without any resentment if he hurt himself by doing anything he felt was legitimate and did not hurt anyone else. The best bits of human existence carry some risk, I relate to that. You may argue that wearing a helmet is 'better' than not wearing a helmet, but better can be defined in many ways.

There are barely any break less trials riders out there; mostly because you need to be good at trials first(only a handful compared to DH) and then you need to do it all without breaks (bare in mind that this includes stopping - and there is A LOT of stopping in trials). Also, sometimes you can't afford them but need to ride anyways.

sorry but brakeless trials bikes? how gay is that! why dont you just ride a bmx? still it was a good vid, just a bit of a kick in the teeth for thoughs trials riders out there! only my opinion.
+ 3
(Dec 24, 2012 at 10:26)
I rode trials for 7 years and BMX for 4 years (I even had an article about my riding and a photo in Dig BMX magazine, and shot photos for both Dig and Ride). I have experience on both, and by using a bike like my Inspired I'm able to do the things I enjoy on my BMX (e.g. the manuals, spins, etc.) with the things I enjoyed on my trials bike (e.g. normal trials). Linking the two is what I find most fulfilling, so that is what I do. On my bike now I can ride skate plazas, pump tracks, trials parks, trials obstacles, stair sets - anything I want. By customising my setup I'm actually able to do more on my Inspired than I could on my BMX (my 540s are more consistent, and I've landed a few manual-to-360s which I wasn't able to do on my BMX at any point).
I can see where you're coming from in a sense, but at the same time it's worth bearing in mind that riding is always evolving. The frames Ali and I are riding are prototype models that are blurring the boundaries between trials geo and BMX geo, and they allow us both to try new things. That progression and merging of different types of moves is what I find enjoying, and is consequently what I do.
Also, more specifically regarding Flipp's riding, the trials moves he does on his bike are basically impossible on a BMX, and the BMX moves he does are pretty much impossible on a trials bike (Flipp's riding a custom JAF build that uses pretty weird geo). Much like Ali and I, he enjoys both styles of riding and rides a bike tailored to suit.

reasonable enough. just my opinion on the brakeless trials bikes, im not for it. but all the power to you if you enjoy it. and cheers on a pretty good vid.
+ 2
(Dec 24, 2012 at 11:08)
In fairness, for a lot of pure trials moves in competitions, riding without brakes has taught me a lot. There are many instances where leaving your brakes off can make your bike more stable while you're setting up for moves, and can help your tyres grip the object better. I can't hook with brakes on, but I can with them off - it just improves your technique.
To each their own though, and thanks for the comment about the video

Downhill - Riding down a hill, doing a whip, or a tweak
XC - gunning it uphill

BMX - hop (insert trick), grind, air
sooooo, any bike style gets 'boring' fast according to you?

if XC was all uphill, it would be called "Uphill". And downhill and freeride trails tend to have a vast array of technical features and difficult terrain that you can string together over a long distance instead of compiling a bunch of 3 second clips. There's a reason hundreds of DH, FR, and XC videos are posted everyday compared to a couple street vids.

(Dec 23, 2012 at 8:58)
It's not nearly as boring when you go out and try it yourself. Makes you realize how much talent and creativity those lines with 20 foot brakeless nose manuals etc. take, which in turn makes every clip that much more amazing.
Imo the best feelings you can get while watching an edit are getting mindf*cked and surprised. Happened a lot with this vid.
+ 2
(Dec 24, 2012 at 12:16)
you have obviously never put any effort into riding street on any kind of bike if you think that the video's are made by 'compiling a bunch of 3 second clips'.. i'm pretty sure that everyone in this video had a hell of a lot of fun making this video and had some good times along the way, this video is pretty much a summary of the best clips from their riding over the past however long it took to film the video, there will have been a lot more cool bike related stuff happening whilst filming, as you will see if you watch the b sides edit of it. also, if you think that this video gets boring, you will find no two clips that are the same in this video and mark has done a pretty good job of showing the best of each riding style so i really can't see how you find this boring :p there are just as many, if not more street/park video's uploaded every day compared to mountain bike ones and it is all down to personal preference and opinion on which you find better or more interesting. if you don't like it, don't watch it.

(Dec 24, 2012 at 3:37)
firstly, how much of the video did you watch? I'm assuming you're talking about flip as he doesn't have a seat, if you only watched a short bit then you'll have missed how he also rode his bike like a trials bike so having a bmx would be a disadvantage. Also, he's doing what he enjoys, why would his skills be of better use on a bmx or DJ? Because he could make more money? I think people like Flip just enjoy riding and don't care about "making it big" and to be honest, that's a really great attitude, unlike yours.
Also, there are 4 riders in the video, each with their own section, if you don't like one then perhaps you'll like some of the others.

- 1 large egg
- 2 cups all-purpose flour

- 1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream
- 2 cups diced fresh or frozen rhubarb, thawed
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1. In a large bowl, cream shortening and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; add to the creamed mixture alternately with sour cream, beating well after each addition. Fold in rhubarb. Pour into two greased 8-in. square baking dishes.
- 2. Combine the topping ingredients; sprinkle over batter. Bake at 350° for 40-45 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on wire racks. May be frozen for up to 6 months. Yield: 2 coffee cakes, 18 servings, 9 per cake.

Do you know your credit score?
Tue, 11 Sep 2012 11:38:04 GMT —
On WNWO Today's Money Monday this week, David Seeger, President & CEO of Great Lakes Credit Union, gave us numerous facts and figures about credit scores.
The basic definition of a credit score: statistically derived numeric expression of a person's creditworthiness that is use by lenders to access the likelihood that a person will repay his or her debts.
FICO stands for the inventor of the score, which was the Fair, Issac Company that developed the algorithm for what is commonly known as the FICO score (your credit score).
The FICO score scale runs from 300 to 850. The average credit score in the U.S. right now is 692. A year ago, it was 666. The median FICO score is 723. This suggests that there are a significant amount of low credit scores which pull the average score down to 692. A score of 640 or higher is considered by most lenders as prime scores, from 600-640 is not prime and below 600 is subprime.
The average score in Ohio is 690, Michigan is 688. The state with the best average credit score is Minnesota with 718. The lowest is Nevada with 660.
Major determinants of a FICO score: payment history, amount and distribution of current debts, age of the account, type of accounts, amount of credit lines and current usage of those lines. Also, the age of a person factors into the equation.
The three major credit reporting agencies are Experian, Equifact and Trans Union.
To get a free credit score, which is an approximation of the FICO score, go to www.creditkarma.com. To get a free credit report, go to www.annualcreditreport.com. This is the government mandated site which, under law, you are entitled to one free credit report per year. If you are denied credit, you are entitled to a free credit report under Federal law.
To raise your credit score, Seeger suggests p
aying bills on time and owe on fewer credit cards. Modest usage of credit will result in a higher, sustainable credit score.

Go to a Different Provider as my Regular Dentist for Invisalign?
- trfie
- Last updated: 3 years ago
My dentist mentioned Invisalign to me before but I did not research it until today. I searched their website and found that my practice with 2 dentists is a "Preferred Provider" whereas there is another practice in my area with 2 dentists that is listed as "Elite Preferred Provider" and also top 1%. Both are also orthodontists and apparently teens are seen in the practice as well (is this good or bad for their ability with adults? is it diffusion of effort or useful practice for adults?). Is it common for persons to see dentists for Invisalign that are NOT their regular dentist, and how have dentists reacted to this? Is there any reason I should not go to the one with more experience? I think my teeth are fairly straightforward (one tooth on the bottom that is posterior to the next but it's not visible from the front, only from the top, and one tooth on top that is slightly crooked) but I'd like the best result and someone who will take the time to answer questions. I also saw numbers from 2011 regarding how to attain the various designations, has this changed since then? 10 cases for Preferred seems quite low. Are prices usually comparable in the same geographic area? Thank you very much!

Not to put too fine a point on it, but are you talking about the original grammar or your modified one? Your modified one is erroneous because it will always associate successive UNION/INTERSECT/EXCEPT operators left-to-right; this does not meet the SQL spec which insists that INTERSECT binds more tightly than the other two.

very nice hotel
hotel old but nice staff was very friendly was there only there before Irma hit the Island hotel with stood impact very well. they had 2 generators so we had power though out except for a few hours every other day while they refueled. A lot of the staff stayed and helped out the whole time we were there until we left on ship.

Ride out the storm
Stayed at the beachcomber hotel thru Irma. Hotel sustained serious damage but thanks to the owner and staff everyone there suffered no bodily damage and were fed and cared for with compassion and good humor. I don't plan on being in a catastrophic situation again but I would want the same group with me if it would happen. Hope Michael rebuilds but that will be a tough decision. Good wishes to the staff and friends still on st Thomas and may recovery be swift.

was fine,until hurricane.hit.
was fine and then cat 5 hurricane hit and disabled all power,water.The management were great,except not able to get any phone or internet,again due to hurricane Irma.We had a tough time,not able to get to beaches,lack of information was paramount.Although the staff tried to be calming,and informative,they were over loaded.AS a person who had no idea of what a hurricane was like,I felt they were overwhelmed.The resort held up better than some,I felt that once it started we were left to our own,and no sense of what to do or expect,and only a phone call to check on us after a night of high winds and rain,again no contact until the next day.I supposed a little extra supplies,and planning would have gone a long way,but again I think they did the best they could under the circumstances.Perhaps an on site aux power supply should be in place,as well as sat phone or two,to be used to get emergency response.Maybe a little more training could have helped,as well as extra supplies of food and water,just a suggestion for the next time something like this was to occur.Maybe a little extra security as well.Some of the units lost their doors,and were open to all who would take advantage of this type of situation.But again the staff seemed to handle everything that they could.

Best Service Experience of My Life
Our experience at the Ritz St. Thomas set a new standard for top-notch, individualized service. The staff was a well orchestrated, guest-oriented ballet and we felt like royalty. Our every need was met from start to finish, even those we merely suggested. I've done a lot of international travel and stayed at amazing resorts, this is one of three I would return to without hesitation!

A Most Wonderful Stay at Sugar Bay!
I recently stayed at the Sugar Bay Resort. I don't know what the bad reviews are for but my husband and I had a great time. For starters the Reservation Manager Chriss Cornish greeted us with a warm and gracious welcome. We had rum punch upon entering the lobby which was very good. They explained everything in detail about the package we selected( by the way the All inclusive is highly recommended). Affer check in we were escorted to our room which was beautiful. The room was very clean and modern . The pictures in the advertisements are accurate. The room had an excellent view of the ocean and plenty of sunlight. There was a docking station for my music device and the USB ports for charging my devices are in the lamps. The sinks and shower worked fine. However there was some water discoloration when I first turned on the sink, but that went away when I ran the water for a few moments. My thoughts were probably due to non usage. Nothing to be alarmed about. Complimentary water is in the mini fridge for drinking. The pool area had a lot of activities daily. The beach was nice though rocky. The food and drink was great for every meal. Especially the oatmeal raisin cookies at the front desk. The staff members were polite. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS RESORT FOR BUSINESS AND LEISURE!

Colorful cheerful and funky hotel near ferry port
I was supposed to go to Saint John from Saint Thomas on the day when hurricane Irma was approaching the island. Management not only agreed to change my reservation to a day before the hurricane but also gave me more than 50% discount. Besides being hospitable and generous, they provide a good breakfast and even happy hours at certain days, and help you get a shuttle taxi to go to all the nice places in the island like Trunk bay which is very close. They are very friendly, accomodative and pleasant. The place is super cheerful, colorful and sweet. I loved it and definitely recommend it.

Olgas Fancy was exactly what we were looking for! Candi and Eddie were wonderful hosts! Olgas had everything we were looking for to enjoy the island. Conveniently located and tucked away in Frenchtown within walking distance of some of the islands best restaurants and bars!

Fabulous hotel with beautiful view of St. Thomas. Loved the peacocks and iguanas that lived on the grounds. Landscaping was done very nice. Security is 24 X 7 which is comforting. Local people on the island are very kind to tourists.

Secret Harbour will be our go-to for our much needed getaways from life! Everything was perfect. Even the groceries we arranged for delivery were put away before our arrival and drinks were put in the fridge for us. That said a lot! The beach was pristine and the snorkeling was just breathtaking. The resorts beach hosted many beautiful reefs which had tons of beautiful fish. The best was the huge angel fish which was always in the same little cove. Just amazing. The scenery was spectacular. Secret Harbour is a special place. Even had a big iguana come up and lick my leg! The room we were in (321) was lovely! The bartender, Nathan, was the friendliest guy! He really went above and beyond in making his guests happy! Thank you!!!!

2006-07 Rural Education Mini-Grants
A compendium of innovative teaching-learning projects that received matching funds through the Rural Education Advisory Committee's (REAC's) mini-grant program, made possible by appropriations from the New York State Legislature, at the request of the Legislative Commission on Rural Resources. The booklet includes projects completed in 2006-07 as well as those being conducted during the 2007-08 school year. A total of 139 applications from small and rural schools were submitted to REAC: 52 were funded, with a maximum award of $2500 each.
The range of projects included in this booklet demonstrates how a modest investment of funds can further educational quality and opportunities for children and communities in rural areas by tapping the latent creativity and energy of teachers, students, administrators and community leaders.

Denny Hamlin doesn't make many starts in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, but this one was worth the effort after a hard race saw him end the afternoon in victory lane.

Cup regular Denny Hamlin has only made 15 starts in the Camping World Truck Series over the years, but on Saturday afternoon he claimed his second series race win with victory in the Kroger 200 event at Martinsville Speedway, a hard-fought race which ended with more than one lingering grudge.
Hamlin had started the race from the back of the grid as a result of missing the drivers' meeting while attending to his Cup duties, while Timothy Peters had started from pole position alongside Kevin Harvick, and duly led for the first 58 laps.
That included two of the seven caution periods of the afternoon: the first was on lap 19 for Todd Bodine in turn 2, and the second came on lap 29 shortly after the restart when Jeff Agnew spun in turn 1 and caught out David Starr in the process. In both cases the cars involved sustained little damage and were able to continue.
Peters' run at the front came to an end when Harvick finally decided to take charge of proceedings for the first time on lap 59, and the #2 would quickly prove itself to be the dominant car of the race as it went on to lead a total of 101 of the 200 laps in three blocks separated out by single lap interlopers during pit stops cycles under yellow flag conditions.
The first of these was for an accident involving Tim George Jr. in turn 4 on lap 93, but the next caution on lap 151 had more serious consequences for the Truck Series championship when points leader Ty Dillon blew a tyre in turn 2 and hit the wall. Dillon fell six laps off the lead while getting the car patched up, and as a result ended up finishing in 28th place - a major hit in the Truck title battle.
Harvick led the field to the green flag for the restart on lap 160, but he was no match for Matt Crafton at the restart, with Denny Hamlin following him through into second place ahead of Joey Coulter, Nelson Piquet Jr. and James Buescher, who had battled back after going a lap down in the early stages of the race.
Crafton retained the lead through three more caution periods: a turn 1 accident for Jason White and Clay Greenfield on lap 164; a spin by Peyton Sellers at the same spot on lap 175; and a final turn 1 incident, this time for Miguel Paludo, on lap 187 which set up a final restart of the day with seven laps remaining to the chequered flag.
That gave Hamlin his best shot of the race at taking the lead from Crafton, and he did it old style - by bulldozing him to one side, a move that Crafton did not take kindly to.
"Running in the back of somebody, that doesn't take anything. Anybody can do that," he complained after the race when he sought out Hamlin for an animated discussion on the incident. "I told him that it took a lot of man to run in the back of somebody," he said. "Not even try to pass me. Didn't even run behind me for one lap to see what he could do. Just ran in the back of me -- that's all he did."
Crafton was willing to concede that he'd made a tactical mistake which had left him vulnerable to Hamlin's move, however. "I didn't let the tyres come up quite clean enough on the last restart, I do admit that. That's part of it. I didn't get my tyres cleaned up, but I did not run into the back of him."
Hamlin brushed off criticism of the move that had given him the lead and which ultimately delivered the race win just a few minutes later.
"When you're the leader with a few laps to go, you've got to expect it," he said. "You can't wreck the guy, that's off-limits: but moving him off and out of the groove, that's standard protocol at this type of race track."
Hamlin wasn't the only driver to attack the ire of some of his peers, with Nelson Piquet Jr.'s creative approach to overtaking during the race also attracting criticism - while proving almost as successful in terms of race performance, as he pushed through to finish in second place two seconds back from Hamlin.
"Maybe this race I was a bit too aggressive," said Piquet afterwards, admitting that ovals were still a largely undiscovered country for him and the cramped half-mile tracks like Martinsville a particularly new skillset he was still working on fully acquiring.
Joey Coulter managed to get ahead of Matt Crafton before the finish line, with Scott Riggs coming home in fifth. In terms of the Truck Series championship, the crucial result was James Buescher claiming sixth place ahead of Timothy Peters: combined with Ty Dillon's earlier tyre blow-out, that resets the title battle in a major fashion.
Buescher takes over at the top of the championship and now leads Dillon by 21pts, while Peters closes to within 4pts of Dillon with just three races at Texas, Phoenix and Homestead-Miami remaining in the 2012 season.
"The second half of practice we got better, and the second half of the race, we turned it around, too," said Buescher, who had needed the lucky dog in the mid-race third caution of the afternoon to get back onto the lead lap.
"When we were a lap down, I did have all the faith in the world that we could turn it around and come back for a top-10 finish," he insisted. "I knew that we just needed some adjustments. We hadn't stopped yet. We were still on the initial run, and I knew that we could get the back end in the track better.
"We were really loose and just needed to come to pit road for an adjustment and hit reset," he added, giving the credit to his crew chief Michael Shelton and the rest of the #31 personnel for all their work getting the truck back into shape when it was needed. "This team knows never to give up. We came from two laps down to win a race this year, and came from a lap down to take the points lead."

"For our God is a consuming fire." Hebrews12:29 (ESV)
It's hard to describe. We just don't have anything here on earth to compare it to. At first, it's a strange small heat right in the center of your chest. It is noticeable, but easy to push out of your mind. But with every day it grows. It intensifies. The small heat has sparked into a flame. And like any fire, it continues to grow until it has consumed the object it is burning. Flames engulf its vessel and dart out from all sides. The heat alone is so intense it has the ability to catch fire to anything nearby. Before you know it, a wildfire has started! As Christ-followers we are consumed by God's Spirit, fueled by the desire and passion to see others saved, spreading and igniting that flame wherever we go.
This inextinguishable fire of the Holy Spirit is something Chris and I have been so honored to see erupt inside the hearts of so many recently. In our children's ministry the kids are learning how they can be disciples right here, right now, at this very place God has put them. Each week we are witnessing in many of them this small flame growing and growing with an intensity to know God, to know Jesus. But it's not just the kids, its many of the adults to. Every Sunday God delivers through Chris some pretty deep Bible teachings. Not just the warm fuzzy stuff that lifts our spirits when we are at church, but the stuff that is hard to hear sometimes. The stuff God wants us to learn so that we are challenged and forever changed for His good. And do you know people come back week after week, hungrier than the week before for God's Word?! Transformed a little more because of their growing relationship with Jesus.
Ava…a wildfire has ignited! God is doing great things and not just at Transformations Church. All around us, in churches all across the nation, we continue to hear how Jesus is radically changing lives! God is saying "For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it?…" (Isaiah 43:19 NLT)

The Sacramento Bee reports on a California Superior Court's ruling that state workplace safety officials don't have the right to access certain medical records to track disease outbreaks because it violates healthcare privacy rights. The case follows California's Division of Occupational Safety and Health's (OSHA) subpoena for a performer's records from the Adult Industry Medical Healthcare Foundation Clinic, which was the subject of an unrelated breach investigation earlier this year. The actress sued OSHA to keep the records private, and the judge ruled that revealing such information, "even to a government agency charged with protecting worker safety, would constitute a serious invasion of privacy."

Three of Northern Ireland's top distance runners go into action in Zurich on Sunday as part of a four-man Irish team in the European Marathon Championships.
Paul Pollock from Annadale is joined by St Malachy's pair Tom Frazer and Kevin Seaward on what is a more than useful squad.
Pollock will have the best chance assuming that he is fully recovered from injury.
He ran brilliantly in last year's World Marathon in Moscow where he was the second European finisher in 2:16:42.
The 27-year-old has a best of 2:16:30 set in Dublin two years ago. He set a Northern Ireland record of 62:09 at the World Half Marathon at Copenhagen and was a comfortable winner of the Titanic 10K and Queen's 5K.
He just missed Dermot Donnelly's 10,000 metre record in California and then took part in the Commonwealth Games over that distance finishing 19th.
If Paul is fully fit and has recovered from that run after a seventeen day interval he must stand a chance of a top six finish in a marathon which will not be as world class as the Commonwealth.
American based Tom Frazer, a former Junior champion, has a best of 2:17:45 set in Berlin.
He also came fourth in both Dublin and Belfast Marathons.
Kevin Seaward a former double Northern Ireland champion over 5,000 made his marathon debut in Manchester placed third in 2:18:46. He also came first in the Milton Keynes Half Marathon.
The team is completed by Sean Hehir of Rathfarnham the Dublin Marathon winner and runner up in Lisburn who has a best of 2:17:47 set in Rotterdam.
Meanwhile, the local track action this weekend is at the Mary Peters Track where the Northern Ireland 10,000 Metres and Multi Events Championships will be held along with the team trophy and open graded meeting.
The centre piece of the meeting is the 10,000 metres which is at 2.15pm on Saturday. Entry is on the day but Eddie McGinley is expected to start favourite.
The former holder of the title is the reigning 5,000 champion. He took the Irish Cross Country in 2012 and has taken both Omagh and Ards Half Marathons this year.
Joe McAllister and Gary Murray can enter along with Glen Phair and Andrew Agnew.
Olympian Maria McCambridge will be hotly fancied for the Ladies with other medals expected to be disputed between Natasha Adams, Patricia O'Hagan and Helen Stockdale.
North Down and City of Derry defend their team trophy titles on Saturday, the Men's, Women's and U17 multi events are on both on Saturday and Sunday with U15 and U13 Boys on Saturday and U15 and U13 Girls on Sunday. Laura Frey and Libby Rose look to be best Seniors.
Saturday's competition opens at 10am with Sunday's action from 11am.

Artisan Park Launches Marketplace For Art, Handcrafts
A new, Los Angeles startup, Artisan Park, is hoping to help connect artists with customers, by launching an online, name-your-own-price marketplace for art and handcrafted wares. The firm, whose team includes a former SharesPost executive, lets users bid on items posted by artists and artisans, who set a minimum price on their items. The service said that it automatically matches up offers on items and completes a transaction for artists if they meet that minimum price. The firm's founders include Adam Corey, who headed up marketing at SharesPost, and who also was involved in the Brighthouse incubator run by Greg Brogger and Scott Painter. According to Corey, the firm is looking to be more exclusive than competing sites like Etsy, offering up curated artists, and helping people find art and artists you otherwise wouldn't find.

Police: Man arrested for severely beating victim in Cal Anderson Park
SEATTLE -- A man was arrested Sunday night after beating a man unconscious in Cal Anderson Park then sitting down on a park bench for a beer and cigarette, according to the Seattle Police Department.
According to the police report for the incident, officers were called to the Capitol Hill park shortly after 10:30 p.m. for reports of a robbery. They were flagged down by a witness, who pointed out the victim curled up in the fetal position on the sidewalk.
Officers were unable to wake up the victim, who was gurgling, bleeding heavily and had foam and vomit coming from his mouth. He would later be diagnosed with severe facial injuries, including a possibly broken eye socket, and likely internal injuries.
The witness told officers the suspect was smoking a cigarette in the park nearby and pointed the way.
According to the report, officers stopped the suspect as he was about the leave the park, and the witness identified him as the person they saw attacking the victim.
The suspect told officers the victim started the fight by cursing him out, calling him names and punching him in the chest, according to the report. He said he only attacked the victim in retaliation.
According to the report, officers found the victim's wallet on the suspect. The suspect said he took the wallet because he won the fight and "that's the game." He was reportedly apologetic, admitting he shouldn't have taken the wallet.
Multiple people witnessed the attack or its immediate aftermath, including one witness who saw the suspect kicking the victim while he was on the ground and another who saw the suspect smoking a cigarette and drinking a beer on a park bench immediately afterward, according to the report.
The suspect was arrested and booked into King County Jail for investigation of robbery.
The victim was taken to Harborview Medical Center, where he was still not conscious when officers returned his wallet.

Well-meaning adoptions can overlook serious problems
atl134 Salt Lake City, UTNov. 5, 2013 1:11 p.m.
" Even one child stolen from his or her home is far too many."
A less extreme version of this is Utah's extremely leniant policy on giving children up for an adoption to the point that there are women who travel to Utah to give birth and give it up before the father is able to find out and claim guardianship of the child.
Nan BW ELder, CONov. 5, 2013 8:07 a.m.
There have always been pitfalls involved in adoptions, and they should be addressed. We have greater potential now to be vigilant in making sure children find homes in an ethical, humane and legal manner.
I once gave up a son for adoption. It was many decades ago, and I depended almost entirely on the word of my OB-GYN. He knew a mom who wanted children desperately. He was certain of her reliability, sincerity and other qualities one would want for a child to have. It was true. She was an admirable dedicated mother to both sons she adopted. The dad was elated too, but he also had an alcohol problems. This had an adverse impact. I have no idea if it would have been better for the sons to have been in another home (how does one weigh the positive and negative aspects?). Of course I had no idea of the problem at the time, and didn't learn until the son contacted me. He appreciates greatly the childhood he had, but he is disappointed that his dad let alcohol have a negative impact. All children should have good homes, but we live in an imperfect world.
UtahBlueDevil Durham, NCNov. 5, 2013 7:59 a.m.
" Even one child stolen from his or her home is far too many."
And here we go again. A shock piece, without the benefit of any numbers to put the problem in true proportion, and that threatens to put a freeze on adoptions, has no element of solution what so ever. What does the author propose? That we leave a thousand needy kids in orphanages because there have been some ambiguous number of abuses in the system?
No parent should have their child taken from them. Just as in our own justice system that daily takes children from parents the courts feel are detrimental to the kids welfare. Surely there too there have been mistakes and abuses of the system. This is not in debate. But what are you to do... stop removing kids from abusive environments because a few may be done mistakenly.
Lazy journalism does far more harm then good. Just as with the capital punishment, we know mistakes have been made.... and yet we don't stop prosecuting murders because mistakes have been made in the past.
You do your best... that is all you can do. And when injustice happens, you set it straight.

Watch The New 'Man of Steel' Trailer! [VIDEO]
Along with a few other big movies, 'Man of Steel' is definitely on my 'must see at midnight' list, a decision I made after only seeing the poster for it. Now, with this new extended trailer out, there's no doubt in my mind that this film is going to give some box office record holders a run for their money!
Remember how awesome The Dark Knight Trilogy is? Well, it's film director/producer/co-writer has another DC film coming to the big screen in 2013 that has all the buzz going on IMDB: Man of Steel.
We all may or may not remember the dud back in 2006, Superman Returns. Not many fell in love with it, but with Christopher Nolan behind this next one, I feel like it's going to be a darker story told and very intense; something worth paying the inflated prices at the movie theater to see!
If you're a Superman fan, this new trailer will have you watering at the mouth to see the flick. Because of it, we now know that the film also stars big silver screen stars like Diane Lane, Kevin Costner, and Russell Crowe.
This is VERY promising, indeed! Check it out:

Arnica montana
Relieves pain, bruising and swelling associated with trauma, surgery or overexertion.
Calcarea carbonica
Varicose veins that hurt while the person is standing or walking may respond to this remedy. People who need this remedy often have poor circulation, with clammy hands and feet, and a general feeling of chilliness. They may have weak or flabby muscles, and be easily tired by exertion. Weight problems, cravings for sweets and eggs, and a tendency to feel anxious or overwhelmed when overworked are other indications for this remedy.
Carbo vegetabilis
Poor circulation with icy coldness of the extremities, and mottled skin with distended veins and a bruised or "marbled" look, may indicate a need for this remedy. The person's legs feel weak and heavy, and often itch and burn. Poor digestion, a feeling of faintness, and a craving for fresh or moving air are strong indications for Carbo vegetabilis. This remedy is often indicated for older people, or those who are slow to recover from an illness.

The Dallas City Council spends a lot of time worrying about this zoning case or that expenditure or some other minor matter that's long removed from the big picture.
That wasn't the case Thursday, when the council took a few hours at the Trinity River Audubon Center to hear from four speakers who reflected on the city's past and the ways it should move forward.
It was an afternoon that looked at the city's racial history, its future as a more diverse place, the importance of its design and beauty, and the need for growth to be rooted in the interests of people and neighborhoods.
The speakers were Robert W. Decherd, the chairman, president and chief executive officer of A. H. Belo Corporation, the parent company of The Dallas Morning News; Liz Cedillo-Pereira, an immigration attorney; Jim Schutze, columnist for the Dallas Observer; and the Rev. Zan Holmes, pastor emeritus of St. Luke Community United Methodist Church.
Mayor Mike Rawlings asked them to address the council in hopes of sparking thought and debate, and, as he put it, breaking down divisions.
Decherd spoke first, focusing on the city's history of planning, particularly downtown and in surrounding neighborhoods, and the impact it has had on opportunities today.
"It's not just about roads; it's not about buildings and parks and trails and lakes," he said. "It's the fundamental question that connects physical space to people's desire to live and work in a locality."
Dallas has gotten that equation right in the last decade, and it is yielding greater investment and a stronger city, he said.
But it's critical to continue to plan in a farsighted way, to set priorities and to have the discipline to stick with them, Decherd said.
The city's commitment to DART and the Dallas Arts District has brought great and lasting change, he said. The same is true of the opening of the new downtown parks, an effort that Decherd has led for years and that has changed the face and function of the city's core.
Schutze's speech dovetailed with Decherd's, although he focused less on planning and more on the organic growth of neighborhoods and the power residents have to reject plans they see as harmful to their communities.
He recalled the plan in the 1980s to double-deck the North Central Expressway and the columns he wrote about a new neighborhood group, "the M Streets," that was opposing it. After writing critically about the road project, Schutze recalled, he was summoned to an uncomfortable meeting at the home of Robert Dedman, then the state's transportation chairman.
Dedman, a self-made man who rose from poverty to vast wealth, wondered why young families would want to live in old houses instead of new ones in the suburbs, Schutze said. It was a moment that gave the writer a clearer understanding of Dedman and the double-decking plan.
"He and [then-Mayor Robert] Folsom and this crowd are not exactly against the old neighborhoods or against people coming back into the core city. They just don't get it. It's not in their world view," he said.
In the end, it was resistance to the North Central plan, rather than the plan, that made the city better, Schutze said.
Cedillo-Pereira and Holmes focused on the city's changing demographics and its struggle with racial and social division.
Cedillo-Pereira, a graduate of North Dallas High School, recalled her mother's dream to become the maid to a Hollywood star.
"I said, 'Mom you are the one who should be a Hollywood star. You are the one who is beautiful,'" she said.
The city must embrace its diversity and help recent immigrants build lives that are focused on the future and not on just surviving day to day, she said.
Holmes' speech capped the afternoon, with a look back at a city where white policemen and white ambulance drivers wouldn't offer aid to a black man injured in an accident.
Dallas has come a long way, but it has a long way to go, he said, in battling "the ugly disease of racism."

"The September Issue": Highlights from the DVD Bonus Footage
With the release of R.J. Cutler's "The September Issue" on DVD, someone made the genius decision to pack in over 90 minutes worth of never-before-seen footage. The bonus footage actually exceeds the original film's length. Often, deleted scenes and bonus footage play like indulgent filler, but The September Issues's extras are as compelling and quirky as anything that made the film.
Here are a few of our favorites:
