Gucci Mane is back again with more new music, and this time, it's a collaboration with Bruno Mars and Kodak Black called "Wake Up In The Sky."
"Wake Up In The Sky" is the new single from Gucci Mane's upcoming Evil Genius album, which is expected to drop sometime later this year, and is a smooth ode to the high life. In the chorus, Gucci and Bruno sing, "Castle on the hill (heh), wake up in the sky (you won't)/ You can't tell me I ain't fly (you can't tell me I ain't fly)/ I know I'm super fly (I know), I know I'm super fly (I know)."
At the end of August, Bruno Mars had actually teased the collab without fans knowing it, and shared two pictures on Instagram of himself and Kodak Black in the studio. "Wake Up In The Sky" is also Kodak's first new music since being released from prison back in August.
Although Gucci Mane has not yet shared an official release date for Evil Genius or other album details, it sounds like he's been taking his time with it to make sure it's perfect. He recently told Billboard of the project:
"I've been really working on the songs. You know, I just don't put out anything. So I'm trying to make this project one of my best projects ever. I'm really trying to collaborate with the best producers and make sure I give my fans something that they can be like, 'Ok, Gucci still coming hard. He still passionate about the music.'"
Evil Genius follows the rapper's 2017 albums El Gato: The Human Glacier and Mr. Davis.

I have a wool peacoat that has held up perfectly on the outside, but the lining is literally in shreds. How can I replace the lining in time for winter without having to sew the whole thing in by hand? I cannot for the life of me figure out how the lining was sewn in by machine without stitches showing on the outside of the coat.
Coat linings are sewn in with the coat entirely inside-out. Just like a plush toy, a small opening is left somewhere so that it can be turned right side out, then the hole is hand sewn shut. This hole is usually somewhere along the bottom edge of the lining. Open it up with a seam ripper and reverse the entire thing. You'll then see that the lining is sewn by machine to the outer layers of the coat. Use your seam ripper again to free the old lining, and even use it to construct a pattern for the new lining. Best of luck to you! As you can see from these pictures, I'm facing the exact same problem with my vintage peacoat.

TUSCALOOSA | Pastor Olivia Davis put her hands behind her back as she stood before 23 teenagers and about 60 adults at Archibald & Woodrow's Bar-B-Q on Monday.
TUSCALOOSA | Pastor Olivia Davis put her hands behind her back as she stood before 23 teenagers and about 60 adults at Archibald & Woodrow's Bar-B-Q on Monday.
"Every time you think about doing something wrong, put your hands behind your back and think," Davis told the teens. "Also know that this is the position you'll be taken out in by Tuscaloosa's finest if you're arrested."
The second bimonthly "Speak Up and Speak Out" forum on youth violence in Tuscaloosa started off slow, but once the conversation progressed, teens apologized to their parents for their bad behavior and parents offered to help each others children.
"We need to get back to the day where everybody loves everybody's child," said Larry Wesley, a father of four.
After receiving permission from a mother, Wesley sat down next to the woman's 13-year-old son and asked him why he had been kicked out of school 13 times.
The youth, hiding his face behind the hood of a red sweatshirt, hesitated but eventually admitted to bullying.
"It makes me feel powerful," the teen said when asked why he bullied other students.
Wesley told the teen that he loved him and that he didn't have to be so angry.
Later, Davis hugged the teen and told him that he didn't need to beat up people. She said one of her brothers was a bully growing up, but when he reached adulthood he was shot and killed.
"You never know if someone you bully might come back later and kill you," Davis said.
Rosalyn Jefferson, a mother of six, said she created "Speak Up and Speak Out" as way for parents and their children to openly talk to each other about problems kids face.
She decided the forum was necessary when she heard about the shooting death of 17-year-old Angelica Golston, who was killed at Creekwood Village Apartments on Jan. 12. Angelica's death was one of many recent acts of youth violence that's taken place in the city since the end of 2012.
Jefferson asked the teens what can parents do to get their children to talk to them, and how can parents help them.
Most of the teens shrugged and stuck their hands in their pockets, but one spoke out and said, "nothing."
Another teen said parents can tell teens what they want them to do, but it doesn't mean they're going to do it.
Yvonne Cardona, a mother of three, said parents miss the signs of problems. She said if kids are not talking, there's something going on with them.
She said a lot of kids are hurt. They might have been raped, abused or bullied and in turn, they are hurting other people.
"In order for them to talk to us, we have to be more visible," Cardona said. "Even if they don't talk to us, we need to look for the signs. I bet you they'll tweet what they think, but they won't talk to us."

Megachurch worship: supersize me!
Earlier in the year I posted this piece about a visit to Hillsong. I'm reposting it here, since the Pentecostal theologian Shane Clifton has written a response which I'll be posting tomorrow.
Recently, out of curiosity, I went along to a service at a famous Sydney megachurch. It was quite an experience. They had it all: the hustle and bustle of important people; the man with a torch and walkie-talkie who met us at the door and briskly ushered us to our seats; the dimly lit auditorium with its brightly coloured stage; the use of words like "vision" and "awesome"; the advertising segments (last week's sermon was available on DVD for only $14.95); the slick businessmen with their Rolexes and their glamorous wives; the exuberant music performed by handsome musicians and voluptuous singers (I confessed to my wife that I had committed adultery in my heart all the way through "All I Need Is You"); the give-your-life-to-Jesus altar call; and throughout all this, the ubiquity of what Peter Berger has called "the Protestant smile."
There were no limits to the professionalism of this worship service. There was even a bit of product placement: the lobby was adorned with a lovely suite of iMacs; and the sermon was delivered from behind a lectern with an open MacBook on top, its illuminated Apple icon gleaming at the cameras. (It was like watching BBC television – I was waiting for someone to arrive at any moment in a shining new Audi.)
As for the preaching, it was motivating and highly inspirational: the sermon's title (sorry, I'm not kidding) was "Ten Kinds of People That God Can't Help." The main idea was that you should "invest" your time in positive happy friends, instead of making bad investments in friendships with hopeless, unhappy people: "Why are you trying to help people like that when even God can't help them?" The sermon's best one-liner: "The Bible isn't a book about God's love for man; it's a book about man's love for God."
But for me, the most interesting aspect of the service was the dominance of the screen. Every moment of the service, from start to finish, was broadcast on to huge screens around the auditorium. When the pastor spoke, he would address one of the many cameras. When the worship-leader spoke to the congregation, he would speak into the camera. Even the heartfelt altar call at the end of the service was addressed to the camera. During the worship songs, the screens would be filled with the faces of those gorgeously happy singers and musicians; then a camera would pan across the crowd of raised hands before cutting back to a shot of the worship-leader's face, full of adoration and passionate sincerity.
What made this so interesting was that the songs' lyrics were also superimposed over these images; so if you wanted to join in singing, you had no choice but to turn your face away from the altar (if there had been an altar), away from the congregation, even away from the flesh-and-blood performers on stage. In short, participation in worship was possible only through the mediation of the screen. The entire worship service was orchestrated primarily as an event of the screen, so that one could take part only by turning towards the screen and participating in its projected images of worship.
The Protestant reformers used to complain that the Roman Catholic priest was "doing worship" for the whole congregation, standing in their place and performing everything on their behalf – and a similar complaint is often made about today's Pentecostal megachurches. But I think the function of the screen raises a much more interesting problem: not merely that the congregation is worshipping vicariously through the onstage performers, but that the entire worship event is actually taking place onscreen.
At this morning's service, even the worship leader himself was not a direct participant in the worship event – the real worshipping subject was his onscreen image. The flesh-and-blood performer participates in this worship only indirectly, through a vicarious participation in his own projected image – a larger-than-life image which becomes the bearer of transcendence. Similarly, the congregation is involved in worship only vicariously, through the mediation of the screen. This is an instance in which the screen comes to possess more ontological depth than the flesh-and-blood world itself; the projected image becomes "more real" than reality.
Visitors to Manhattan are often struck by the uncanny familiarity of their surroundings: the city has been so frequently and so meticulously presented onscreen that the "real" physical environment seems a remarkable copy of the much-more-real world of the screen. "Oh look," tourists exclaim: "It's just like in The Godfather!"
In the same way, towards the end of the church service I glanced down from the vast screen, and for a moment I glimpsed the flesh-and-blood pastor speaking passionately into the camera. It was strange to see the man standing there like this: a miniature version – touchingly flimsy and remote and insubstantial – of the real preacher whom I'd been watching on the screen. I felt embarrassed to have seen him like this – like the embarrassment of visitors at a hospital, who don't know where to look – so I quickly averted my eyes, and returned my gaze to the big reassuring smile on the screen high above.

Art in the air
Humans have been fascinated by the flocking, swarming and migratory behavior of flying creatures since time began. Photographer Lothar Schiffler has made their transitory tracks visible like never before.
Gulls, crows, mayflies: How did you first get interested in creatures of the air?
I often had to guard the chicken coop from buzzards in the village near Stuttgart where I grew up. It impressed me how those birds could hover for minutes on end without flapping a wing.
Strictly speaking, what you create aren't really photographs …
True. That's because it's technically impossible to photograph a bird's trajectory. Long exposure blurs their movements and they are swallowed by the light. Back in the 1980s, I tried to develop 16-millimeter negatives on photo paper – but without success.
How did you solve the problem?
Modern single-lens reflex cameras are able to capture high-speed videos. With my Nikon D5500, I can film 50 high-resolution images per second. My assistant Nikolai Klassen has developed a special software that lets us put the image sequences we extract from the videos back together into track segments, like a stack of overhead transparencies.
So the computer does the work?
As far as processing is concerned, yes. A five-minute film consists of 15 000 frames. It would take me weeks to do what the computer does, namely pick out from the confusion of lines those flight paths that make a pleasing pattern – and airbrush out the insects in front of the lens that would otherwise ruin the picture.
The biggest challenge is picking out the best flight patterns from 15 000 individual images
Which flight paths do you like best?
I particularly like to watch the common swifts from my balcony in Munich, the evident pleasure they take in describing bold, bizarre curves and their masterly use of thermals. Once a swift leaves the nest, it stays in the air for two years without landing. They are true artists
of the air.

The railway represents a significant national asset which should be treasured, not milked for maximum profit.
Your Views
Under one control and maybe no cancellations.
Trains should be easy to access and cheap for all. This is not the case with the current, failing system.
They should never have been privatised.
A natural monopoly which can and should be run so much better for everyone.
East Coast is a well run and efficient organisation, with helpful and friendly staff. Also it makes a healthy profit, more than Virgin and much more than First Great Western.

International Workers Memorial Day happens on 28th April every year to commemorate workers killed at work. Unfortunately this year the tragic deaths of workers who've died from Covid-19 have been included. Lack of PPE is a breach of health & safety legislation.
Good idea but what about everyone else who has also died? Are they not worth stopping for too.

No Tim, we will not 'give it a rest'. We will continue haranguing you tories who want a privatised railway but continually demand that the public bail you out with subsidies, and are somehow happy that every single franchise is foreign-owned. Two faced hypocrisy.
Timing of this post is appalling. Give it a rest during this worldwide crisis.
any train company should be public
Renationalise all railways
Nationalise the lot 👍
Sam Hayward
Ed Henry
Make all rail public ASAP.
To many foreigners taking over key industries and services . Profits are leaving the country in millions but services provided are abysmal. High time all key services were nationalised.
Most of our railways are nationalised. The trouble is it's all foreign nations. How on earth did our government let that happen? No replies please, I know.
It already is, the Dutch public own it.
Nationalisation is here to stay !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not the best climate at the moment but they can now see what Northern & LNER achieve in public ownership before anymore decisions
That's the SNP's plan.
We can't wait till 2022 - needs done NOW.
The franchise system is past its sell by date
I'm all for nationalisation in the bigger picture. But dont we subsidise the Scots enough. Thanks to us they already get,free prescriptions, tuition fees dentistry and all. So no let them pay for something themselves and generate their own income
In fact, people should be doing maths, not rocket science. The importance of passenger revenue under privatisation has declined. In the last ten years of BR, it averaged around 64% whereas in the first ten years of privatisation, its 55%.
SNP and Alex Salmond?

Covid-19: government suspends rail franchise agreementsEmergency measures will be in place for six months to avoid train companies collapsing
Comment on Facebook Emergency measures ...
Terrible decision, the franchise holders should be made accountable and bail themselves out with the profits they have made. If not they should surrender the franchise. The government should commence an emergency nationalisation of the railways and rolling stock due to the pandemic. Forcing the discharged of all the private rail franchise contracts due to frustration and bringing them under the control and operation of the government.
Not nationalisation. Just allows them to bail out the franchises as their incomes fall. Branson will probably try to sue HMG for not allowing his gravy train to keep running. (He will just have to depend on whatever he gets from NHS!)
However, the train operators will continue to run the services "for a small predetermined management fee", the DfT said. Private companies will run the trains but the government underwrites it all and, during this exceptional time, carries the losses.
I wonder how many don't realise you've deliberately reversed the BR logo? At first I thought you'd 'hung the Union Flag upside down'.
Bloody Northern started arbitrary rolling cancellations on the day I was trying to get to Manchester Airport (March 20th). Had to get a taxi in the end after I'd paid for rail tickets. Good riddance I say, and welcome back BR (permanently I hope).
I still can't understand why we are subsidising the railways most of which are Dutch, Italian, French & Japanese owned ??
Corbyn is proved right, yet again, as Johnson is forced to follow Socialist policies and put People before shareholders Profits!
To keep the 2 metre distance put more trains on don't reduce them which increases overcrowding ffs get the basics right.
temporarily nationalised, to stop rail operators from going bust, they will be handed back when this emergency is over.
It has not been done for us, it has been done to protect their profits
Socialise the losses then hand it back to the same companies later? No, keep it.
Wish they would close the Tube. Cut services mean people are so jammed together and no air or space. Use the buses if you have to.
This is amazing news! Nationalise railways like China, have the transport at a standardise price for all to utilise and benefit from!
Let's make it permanent. Next up, public utilities!
It's a temporary bail-out, that's all.
as things progress we see more of labours manifesto pledges being implemented, and they called him an extremist.
Personally I would let the private companies take the hit as they have had 24 years of profit now it getting tough they all cry
If it were a (proper) Labour government in power I'd be a lot happier about this news.
The creditable alternative is BR
Is the UK Government also removing the subsidy going directly to share holders and to management group?
Many of the operators are foreign!
Nationalised the debt
Call me a cynic but I see this as the Tories protecting their friends from losses associated with this crisis. The public purse will cover the damage. When this is all over the franchises will resume and we'll be back to square one.
Let's try to make it permanent (although I think an arms length wholly owned organisation (ALMO) would be a better prospect in the long term).
When JC proposed re-nationalisation the howls of derision were 'where's the money coming from?' Now the toryscum do it when there's hardly any revenue coming in, so either this is an excuse to axe lines in favour of their beloved money pit HS2 or there really is a 'magic money tree' 🤔

Rule #1 - Be Patient - Rule #2 - Don't ask when, if you don't contribute - Rule #3 - You have coding skills - LinuxMCE's small brother is available: http://www.agocontrol.com
I'm very new to the Pluto concept and I have spent the last week reading as much as I can. I must say that what I have seen so far is impressive and I'm looking forward to performing my first install to see how it works.
I have an old PC which I will be using as my core and another PC which I shall use as a MD. This initial setup will be run completely in a test senario so there will be no AV equipment involved to begin with. Is that going to be a problem? I'm assuming that I can view the results on the monitor that will be connected to the PC acting as the MD, are my assumptions correct?
I have a lot of media on multiple machine which I will eventually want to relocate onto the core but I have found no information on achieving this, is it still "under development"? My Linux experience is limited but I'm again assuming that the media is placed within a directory and it will then be available. I have all my CDs contained within iTunes and would prefer to transfer them rather than having to re-rip them all again.
Does Pluto perform lookups on IMDB and CDDB to retrieve movie and CD information, cover art etc. and is this automated?
If my testing is successful I will then be moving to a purpose built core, which I'm planning to build. I was thinking of using a 3ware RAID card as the controller, are the drivers for these cards included within the installation CD? Does Pluto allow for RAID expansion? It would be better if an extra hard drive can be installed and it incorporated into the core automatically, rather than having to destroy the array and recreate it with the new drive. This allows you the option of creating a rather small core and then expanding it as the need arises.

Colorful hot air balloons will once again grace the skies surrounding Brush during the Brush 2013 Hot Air Balloon Festival, September 7 and 8, at the VFW/Memorial Park area. The festival is the only one of its kind in this region, according to committee organizers.
Balloon festival planning committee member Brenda Griffith said this year's festival will feature nine balloons, including three new pilots.
Balloons and pilots come from all over the Front Range, including the Denver area, Fort Collins and Colorado Springs, and also from Wyoming. In addition to the balloons, the festival will include a range of activities for young and old, including a children's fun area, a fishing derby (up to 14 years old), arts and crafts booths and entertainment.
The festival includes a sunrise balloon launch each morning around 6:30 a.m. Event sponsors take the first rides up in the balloons, following which others may take a balloon ride for $150. Sponsorships are still available for the festival. The cost is $300 for one day and two balloon rides or $600 for two days and four rides.
Griffith said she has now taken multiple balloon rides, including one in New Mexico with one of the participants in the Brush Balloon Festival. Festival Committee member Dan Scalise took his first balloon ride last year. Both say it's a fantastic experience.
If you choose to take a ride during the festival, where the ride takes you is dictated by the day's winds and air currents.
To get a taste of what a balloon ride feels like, festival attendees can try a tethered balloon ride, during which the balloon is tethered or tied off to vehicles and riders go up about 20 or 25 feet in the air. The charge for a tethered ride is 10 cents per pound.
One of the festival's most popular events is the Balloon Glow on Saturday that begins around sunset. Scalise said the balloons are set in a large semi circle with the balloonists lighting their hot air balloon packs, providing an attractive glow for this evening event.
In past years, balloonists have allowed kids to roast marshmallows on the glow. The event also provides an opportunity for the general public "to come in and do a meet and greet with the balloonists" and allow the balloonists to share information.
"Pilots love to talk about their balloons," Scalise said.
The festival includes a fishing derby on Saturday for kids under age of 14 with prizes awarded for the most fish caught and the largest fish caught.
Knapp Productions is providing entertainment for the festival and will play each day from until noon until 10 p.m.
Festival committee member Melissa Dalrymple is looking for additional food and arts and crafts vendors for the festival and people to provide events for the Kids Fun Area. Festivals in recent years have attracted several hundred people. Dalrymple can be reached at 970 768 1281.

Queen's Day in Amsterdam attracts 700,000 visitors, which makes the city crowded beyond any acceptable norm. Despite overcrowding, the atmosphere on Queen's Day is traditionally relax and joyful. The usually mild weather makes the Queen's Day the day to be in Amsterdam.
Queen's Day is celebrated in the whole country of the Netherlands for more than 50 years. Amsterdam celebrations are the most raucous. Over the years, the popularity of the event grows bigger and bigger, as crowds of people from all over Europe come to attend.
The Dutch love to trade, they have it in their blood. Queen's Day is an occasion to trade all things that are unnecessary at home. They come to trade with neighbors and visitors in town. More a social occasion that a real commercial opportunity, the free market is a unique family event with children actively participating also, it's not just an event for adults. Prices are symbolic and the most important thing isn't the trading but enjoying the day and having fun.
As a large part of the Amsterdam center is filled with such a large crowd, no transportation is possible in the city itself, you will have to walk to wherever that you want to go. No cars are allowed on Queen's Day in the Amsterdam center. All public transportation, including trains are on a special schedule for this day and night.
The celebrating of Queen's Day begins on the evening of the day before, usually at 7 p.m., and goes on until the early hours of Queen's Day. It is called Queen's Night, when all clubs across the Netherlands organize special festivities. Especially for the younger adult crowds, this is the night to be in Amsterdam. Amsterdam is bustling all through the night, as many young adults move across the city hopping from one party to the next, while others prepare for the market, the following day.
The quarter of Jordan is one of the most crowded places to be on Queen's Day. Not only with traders, food concessions and beer stands, but also with large groups of people singing traditional Dutch songs. These are simple, rhythmic songs, mostly describing the beauty of Amsterdam. While you might not be able to follow the words, the whole atmosphere is always unique, friendly, and relaxed.
All clubs in Amsterdam organize special parties on this day. In many parts of the city, you can hear the music blaring out of speakers around many corners of the city. Many of these turn into improvised parties. There are boats full of dancing people circulating up and down the canals in Amsterdam.
|The Queen of Holland
If you plan to visit Amsterdam during the next Queen's Day, make your hotel reservations many months in advance. There is absolutely no chance to find a good hotel or even a hostel at the last minute, any private apartment or bed and breakfast's are usually taken years in advance.
- As you are going to spend most of your day around big crowds, leave your valuables in your hotel.
- You're going to be walking alot, so comfortable shoe are an essential.
- Take a lot of change. You may want to buy something in the market, plus you may want to buy food or beverages while you are out during the day.
- All the main grocery stores are open on Queen's Day. You may get food and drink at a better price than at a booth.
- While you may drink alcohol in the streets on Queen's Day, it is not allowed to carry more than one drink at a time.
- Consider leaving your camera at the hotel. Take part in the event, there are many offering to take pictures, which you can always download later from the web.

You can't go blasting your best friend through a wall and not expect a little payback. Remember kids: The Falcon Punch is not a toy.
Yes, it's another video from the creator of "Elemental Kombat", and this time around it's even bloodier. It's bad enough the poor filmmaker gets splattered against a brick wall, but does he have to skip across the ground first? Ew.

Law in London 2018: The changing real estate needs of law in London
The London real estate market is undergoing fundamental shifts as occupiers use new technology to respond to demands from occupiers for greater efficiency, agility and flexibility. Overlaid on these shifts is the potential economic impact of the EU Referendum on legal business in London – where should law firms be located to best serve their clients?
This report is the sixth in a series of annual reports about legal firms' use of real estate in London. Each year we base our report on a survey of law firms addressing latest trends, and compile the CBRE Legal 100 of the largest users of real estate among law firms.


text: If your kids are too old to be covered by your policy, they may be able to get back on after the health-reform law takes effect. By Kimberly Lankford, Contributing Editor April 26, 2010 Are the companies that say they will extend coverage to recent grads before the new health-care-reform law takes effect also reinstating kids who are too old to be on their parents' health-insurance policies?Generally, early implementation of the new rule applies only to children who would otherwise be dropped from their parents' policies before the new law kicks in. To qualify for this early effective date (June 1 for many of the companies), children must be currently covered under their parents' policies; adult children who have already "aged out" and want to get back on must wait until the new plan year that starts after September 23, 2010 (for many plans that means January 1, 2011, because the plans operate on a calendar-year basis). Contact your firm's HR department or the insurer for details. Sponsored Content My daughter is 24 and works only part-time, without any benefits. Will she be able to get back on my policy? I don't claim her as a dependent on my taxes. She'll probably be able to get back on your policy once the law takes effect. The rules are quite broad: "Adult children do not have to be dependents of the parents for tax purposes, they don't have to be living at home, they don't have to be full-time or part-time students, and they may be married," says Randall Abbott, senior consultant with Towers Watson, a global benefits-consulting firm. But children who have the option to sign up for health coverage through their employer cannot qualify to remain on your policy. Advertisement Regulations should be issued soon with more details about who qualifies and on the procedures for reinstating children who have been dropped from their parents' coverage. Other health-care news: Update on the COBRA subsidy. There's good news for people who have been laid off recently. After several extensions, the COBRA subsidy was scheduled to expire for newly laid-off people on March 31, 2010. But Congress has okayed another extension, to May 31, 2010, for providing the 65% COBRA subsidy to people who are newly laid off. The subsidy lasts for up to 15 months. For more information about the COBRA subsidy, see the Department of Labor's COBRA subsidy page. For advice about how to find coverage after COBRA expires, see How to Cope Without COBRA.

I am having trouble using the right hand rule properly and often find myself putting my hand in awkward orientations. I know you point your hand in the direction of $r$ and then point your fingers in the direction of $F$ but that doesn't really help me. Can anyone explain how to use it correctly and without awkward hand positions and apply it to the image below for F1, F2, and F3? I don't get the orientation of the thumb and how that dictates direction. In the first example for for F1 my thumb is pointed towards me to the right, F2 my thumb is pointed away from me, and F3 it is pointed towards me to the left. I dont get how this Shows me how F1 is clockwise, F2 counter, and F3 counter
Also in this example I would have thought all of the forces are counterclockwise except D but they aren't, Help! :?

text: Kevin Cogill, probably more known as Skwerl over at music blog Antiquiet, where he leaked 9 Guns n' Roses songs from the upcoming album Chinese Democracy, was arrested by the FBI this morning. According to the blog, the FBI picked him up early, and Antiquiet had decided not to make a big deal about it, that is, until LA Times picked it up. That sparked the follow-up post where we learn that Kevin was released at a $10,000 bail, and that the preliminary hearing has been scheduled for September 17, at 4:30 PM. [Read more…]

|A wild male turkey struts his stuff.

2. Domestic turkeys can't fly or have sex. Domestic turkeys have been bred to have enormous breast muscles for our dinner tables. Their breast muscles have become so large that these top-heavy birds have lost the ability to fly and even to have sex! Domestic turkey eggs now have to be fertilized by artificial insemination. Wild turkeys with their functionally-sized breast muscles, however, can fly up to 55 mph for short distances and have sex just fine.
3. Male turkeys (called toms) are courtship-machines. Wild turkey males are substantially larger than females, and their 5,000 to 6,000 feathers have red, purple, green, copper, bronze, and gold iridescence. Like peacocks, male turkeys puff up their bodies and spread their elaborate feathers to attract mates and intimidate rivals. In comparison, female wild turkey feathers are duller shades of brown and grey to better hide from predators. And as if their flashy feathers weren't enough, toms also have fleshy body appendages called snoods (the fleshy snotsicle that hangs over their beak) and wattles (the thing that looks like a scrotum under their chin). When the male is excited, the snood and wattle fill with blood and turn bright red. Sexy!
4. Turkeys are intelligent animals. They even have the ability to learn the precise details of a 1,000-acre area. And no, turkeys will not drown if they look up into the sky during a rainstorm.
5. Turkeys are social animals. They create lasting social bonds with each other and are very affectionate. Turkeys can produce over 20 different vocalizations, including the distinctive gobble (produced only by males), which can be heard up to a mile away! Individual turkeys have unique voices that they use to recognize each other.
6. Female turkeys (called hens) are good moms. Wild turkey babies (called poults) are precocial, which means that they hatch out of their eggs already covered in fluffy down and able to walk, run and feed themselves. They stick close to their mother for protection from predators, but unlike many other species of bird mothers, she doesn't have to feed them. Although wild turkeys roost in the trees at night to avoid predators, poults are unable to fly for their first few weeks of life. The mother stays with them at ground level to keep them safe and warm until they are strong enough to all roost in the trees with her.

7. Ben Franklin wanted the turkey to be America's national bird. Benjamin Franklin famously argued that the wild turkey, not the bald eagle, should be America's national bird. In a letter to his daughter, he wrote, "For my own part, I wish the bald eagle had not been chosen as the representative of our country; he is a bird of bad moral character; he does not get his living honestly...like those among men who live by sharping and robbing...he is generally poor, and often very lousy. Besides, he is a rank coward; the little king-bird, not bigger than a sparrow, attacks him boldly and drives him out of the district...For in truth, the turkey is in comparison a much more respectable bird, and withal a true original native of America. Eagles have been found in all countries, but the turkey was peculiar to ours...".
8. Turkeys were once endangered. Although millions of wild turkeys used to live across the Americas, they were almost completely wiped out due to a combination of over-hunting and habitat destruction. Thanks to strong conservation efforts that included better hunting management, habitat protection, captive breeding, and reintroduction into the wild, wild turkey populations are now healthy and found in all of the lower 48 states.

Comic Book Urban Legends Revealed #33!
Let's begin!
COMIC URBAN LEGEND: Marvel is sitting on an unpublished Peter Bagge Hulk comic book.
STATUS: True
Fellow blogmate, MarkAndrew, asks, "Is Marvel just sitting on a completed Peter Bagge Hulk story like the dude at my comic shop said? Cause if they are... MARK SMASH PUNY HUMANS! (In the butt!)"
Well, I am afraid that you might have to smash away, Mark, as Marvel indeed is sitting on a completed copy of The Incorrigible Hulk.
Released in 2002, Bagge's The Megalomaniacal Spider-Man was a real fun treat, and fans of Bagge (and good comics period) were looking forward to the Hulk follow-up.
As for what happened?
Well, let's let Bagge himself enlighten us (courtesy of this interview with Daniel Robert Epstein)
UGO: Will the Hulk comic you did ever come out?Now that is what I call a damn shame!
PETER: I don't know. My editor at Marvel keeps asking me not to whine too much about it because there is still a chance it might come out. It all has to do with corporate politics.
UGO: Did it have anything to do with the Hulk movie?
PETER: No, let's back up a bit. About three or four years ago, a few guys were put in charge of Marvel when they were in really bad shape. They figured they had nothing to lose so they asked some people who don't normally do superhero comics to do them. They went kind of nuts, which is great, but if you ask me they didn't go nuts enough. Since then, Marvel has huge a string of huge blockbusters recently, especially Spider-Man. Now the company is worth a fortune, which has next to nothing to do with the comics. But what the comics sell is peanuts compared to the movies and the merchandising. Some new board members, who are trying to protect their investment, very carefully manage their more valuable brands. When the editors asked me to do Spider-Man, they were thinking the exact opposite because people who wouldn't normally buy it would buy it. But now the new people running it don't want Peter Bagge f**king around with their characters. My vision of the Hulk doesn't match with theirs.
UGO: I interviewed Kyle Baker a few years ago after he had done this story of Superman as a baby and all these crazy things happened to the baby. They never reprinted until the Bizarro book. When I asked him about it, he said he doesn't care about the story because he doesn't own it. "They could buy the story from me and toss it in the trash."
PETER: I'm not quite that cynical.
UGO: You?
PETER: To a degree, I agree with that. If it winds up never in print I won't be devastated like I would with something that was my own. But if this was my own thing I wouldn't be in this situation. It's because we don't own the right to these characters, we don't know when or if it will ever see print. Of course, working on it as much as I did, I spent six months on it, I hate to see all that labor wasted because I thought it came out pretty good.
UGO: Is the Hulk story like your Spider-Man one?
PETER: I think it's a little bit lighter. I tried to make it more action-packed with splash panels because I thought that Spider-Man was pretty verbose. The Hulk is about Bruce Banner with his dual personality, and I commented on how everybody can do that now to a smaller degree with modern medicine like with Valium and Viagra. Everybody is trying to control or alter their personality.
Here are some art samples that Bill Reed found from the above interview. The first is the cover, and the second is a sample page (click on the sample page for a larger version).
COMIC URBAN LEGEND: Stan Lee created the Black Marvel
STATUS: False
Stan Lee was a very busy young man for Timely (later Atlas, still later Marvel) in the 1940s, creating a number of characters.
However, thanks to some handy detective work by the awesome Jess Nevins and the esteemable Tom Brevoort, it turns out that ONE Golden Age creation has been misattributed to Stan Lee for years, misleading even by the great comic historian, Jim Steranko!
Namely, the Black Marvel, who made his debut in Mystic Comics #5 in 1941.
And who fairly recently had a comeback in the pages of Slingers.
This character has long been credited to Lee, but according to Jess Nevins (on his site that you should all visit - he is the ginchiest),
You'll note that I said that the intro to the Black Marvel's first appearance was very Stan Lee-esque. It is. Trouble is, it may not have been written by Stan Lee. See, Jim Steranko credits the Black Marvel to Stan Lee and Bob Hughes, but Greg Theakston says that Lee's first comic book story was in Captain America Comics #3, cover-dated May 1941. The cover date for Mystic Comics #5, the first appearance of the Black Marvel, was March 1941.I find Nevins thought process to be flawless here. So a comic mystery solved that barely anyone knew NEEDED to be solved!!
Steranko is partially wrong here; Tom Brevoort said that the folks Steranko talked to while compiling his book misremembered things, and this would seem to be one of them. While it's possible that Lee wrote the text page that introduced the Black Marvel - the "Warning! Don't turn this page!" - the rest wasn't him. The Marvel's firrst appearance was a back-logged story from Funnies, Incorporated, and--
I guess I should explain about Funnies Incorporated. Back in 1939, Lloyd Jacquet, the editor of Centaur Publishing (who produced Amazing-Man Comics), decided to form his own comic company. He left Centaur and took some people with him: Bill Everett, Carl Burgos, Paul Gustavson, and Bill Thompson among them. They formed Funnies Incorporated, which was originally supposed to be a comic book publisher, but due to lack of funds became an art packaging studio, creating material for other publishers. The stories in Marvel Comics #1 were created by the Funnies, Inc., stable of talent.
The Black Marvel was one of those characters created by the Funnies, Inc., stable. I say it was "back-logged" because after Marvel Mystery Comics became a success, Martin Goodman hired an in-house staff of his own and began squeezing out the Funnies, Inc staff in favor of his own. The Black Marvel's first story, as best I can figure, is one of those stories Timely had already purchased.
COMIC URBAN LEGEND: Aquaman was not from Atlantis for his first eighteen years of existence.
STATUS: True
We have already learned that poor Aquaman had to go NINETEEN years from his comic debut to his first cover appearance, but did you know that the origin that we all know so well of Aquaman did not come about until a mere YEAR before his first cover appearance?
In Aquaman's debut, More Fun Comics #73, all we know about Aquaman is that his name is Aquaman, and he is the son of a human scientist who had experimented on him and given him with the power to breathe underwater and survive deep sea pressures. This was inspired by Atlantis, but Aquaman himself had NO ties to Atlantis!
This was the status quo for EIGHTEEN years, until 1959's Adventure Comics #250.
It was this tale that writer Robert Bernstein, alongside artist Ramona Fradon, gave us the origin we all (okay, MOST of us) know and love.
His name, Arthur Curry.
His ties to Atlantis.
His lighthouse father bedding an Atlantaen woman named Atlanna.
Within a year, all the other Atlantis tie-ins began to swarm in, like Aqualad.
Talk about good timing, though, huh?
A cool, new origin JUST in time for his Justice League of America debut (which was his cover debut, as well!)!!
Aquaman knows how to work the system (for the record, the "experimented on" version of Aquaman became the "Earth-2 Aquaman," although he was very rarely seen in comics ever again)!!
Well, that's it for this week, thanks for stopping by!
Feel free to drop off any urban legends you'd like to see featured!!

Why have a cupboard full of cook books when I have easy access to my own personal Chef & a gazillion delicious recipes from a daughter who is an "amazing cook." I wanted to try making stuffed peppers. They were so fun to make and looked delightfully attractive. Not being vegan (sorry Kirst) I added some cheeze :). They were so delicious and came out of the oven intact. I'm going to buy more peppers.ReplyDelete
awww..thanks mom.ReplyDelete
Just a random passer by. This looks delicious. Will have to try it tonight.ReplyDelete

I just noticed the "Serve with tomato sauce on a bed of lettuce!" part
I did neither and still enjoyed this dish very much, the flavours were wonderful. Cheers!

United Nations gangster Clay Roueche may have made the cover of Rolling Stone, but police in B.C. said the magazine's story is more fiction than fact.
Roueche was featured in an article called "Boss Weed: The gangster who changed the pot game" in the popular U.S. publication's May 9 issue.
In it, Roueche claims he "wanted to be the biggest drug dealer in Canada."
"I wanted to make history," Roueche is quoted as saying.
Author Jesse Hyde claims Roueche "professionalized" the B.C. pot industry "the same way Pablo Escobar had done decades before in Colombia."
He credits Roueche with being the first to use helicopters, float planes and tractor-trailers "to move an estimated 20 tons (or $120 million) of weed a year into the U.S."
Hyde interviewed Roueche in a Florida prison, where Roueche accused a Seattle judge of wanting to "make an example" by sentencing him to 30 years for drug smuggling and money laundering.
Police in B.C. said the article portrays the notorious gangster in a positive light, with very little about the brutality of Roueche's UN gang and the murders linked to it.
Sgt. Lindsey Houghton of the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit said Rolling Stone never asked his agency to comment on Roueche's exaggerated claims, despite its role in the U.S. investigation that landed Roueche behind bars in May 2008.
"There is a lot of fiction mixed in with the truth. This has all the makings of a made-for-TV story and not a factual account of what happened," Houghton said Wednesday. "It seriously discredits the seriousness of his offences."
Houghton said when he read passages in the article about Roueche being a Buddhist and adhering to a warrior code, "I couldn't help but roll my eyes." He said it is concerning to police that Roueche and his gang are being glamourized instead of exposed.
"This is the kind of article that youth will read and potentially think it's cool, especially because it is in a popular trendy magazine," he said.
"We would hope that people would want to write articles that would prevent youth from seeing this as a glamourous lifestyle."
Abbotsford Police Det. Andrew Wooding, an expert on the UN gang, dealt with Roueche for years as he committed his crimes in the Fraser Valley.
When Rolling Stone asked Wooding for an interview, he declined, concerned about a possible sympathetic portrayal of the gang leader.
"After reading it, I am really glad that I didn't participate because I think the article is portraying Clay in a really positive light and exaggerating his influence in the gang culture up here in British Columbia greatly," Wooding said.
Wooding said that contrary to Roueche's claim, there were many other B.C. criminals before him who used helicopters and planes to transport drugs into the U.S.
"I would certainly take issue with some of the facts, or some of the way they portrayed how big or influential he was," Wooding said.
He found the article frustrating because it generally ignored a series of high-profile murders linked to the UN and their rivals.
"My feeling is that this does nothing to help us in our struggle against the violence (that) gangsters are perpetrating in the Lower Mainland," Wooding said.
"All it does is actually make Clay look bigger and better and cleaner and more sophisticated than he was. He was a guy who saw an opportunity like many other guys that don't have a lot of moral fibre. They see an easy way to make money and they exploit that.
"There is nothing cool or glamorous about that."

House Call: Parents Help out at Phonathon
POSTED ON: April 26, 2012
When senior Alex Erb enrolled in Cooper Union's civil engineering program in 2008, his Manhattan-based parents were excited that their son was admitted to such a prestigious program that also happened to be close to home.
Rhonda and Stephen Erb live only a few dozen blocks uptown from Cooper Union's campus. Since the very beginning of Alex's studies at Cooper, the couple has been actively involved in raising money for the school. Every year the two volunteer to fundraise together through Cooper's annual Phonathon. They make time to call other Cooper parents and ask that they support and donate to the historic institution that continues to graduate leading innovators in architecture, art, and engineering.
Rhonda Erb, who works from home as a writer and editor, says she enjoys getting involved immensely. "My husband works as a Vice President at an investment bank, so he has a lot less time. We make time to work together on this though," she explains. Rhonda does most of the talking while Stephen helps with dialing and other logistics.
The Phonathon helps the Erbs take part in what they describe as an intimate community of Cooper parents and supporters. It also allows them to get a little insight into the institution where their son Alex studies and to catch a glimpse of his learning environment.
Rhonda says she would encourage other parents and alumni to get involved in the Phonathon, describing it as a fun and supportive way to stay involved in her son's community.
To learn more about the Phonathon or to get involved please contact Joseph McDonald at email@example.com.

As Comic-Con has evolved into a juggernaut for the promotion of everything pop culture, it's easy to overlook one of the event's prime pleasures: the chance to learn about lesser-known writers and artists and often meet them, too.
My prime example: Adrian Tomine, who has developed into a gifted creator of sophisticated comics and graphic novels. If you don't know him for Optic Nerve, his series of urbane comics, you may have seen one or more of his illustrations for The New Yorker, Time and many other publications. They have a crisp, linear style thick with atmosphere.
Like Daniel Clowes, who also does covers for The New Yorker as well as his own acclaimed comics and books, Tomine has an understated visual style that combines wit, social commentary, psychological insights and elegant drawing. And like Clowes, he can write, too.
The year I met Tomine, in 2002, he had just come out with "Summer Blonde," which assembled stories from issues of Optic Nerve into a book with a particularly stylish cover. Its four stories featured typical Tomine protagonists: sensitive malcontents in their 20s and early 30s who struggle to figure out what to do with their lives.
Tomine, born in 1974, concentrates on his own generation, though you never get the feeling that he is trying to make any sort of grandiose statement about people in their 20s and early 30s. He's intrigued by their singularity: a writer who succeeds with his first novel but develops a creative block for his second and becomes obsessed with a girl he adored in high school; a Chinese-American woman who loses her job, loses her bearings in her life and, then, as the story ends, begins a new romance and tries to face up to a death in her family.
He was something of a comics prodigy, too, self-publishing the first seven issues of Optic Nerve before signing on with the now well-established publisher of comics and graphic novels Drawn and Quarterly. These early comics are now reissued in facsimiles of the originals, as "32 Stories: The Complete Optic Nerve Mini-Comics." And while this is apprentice work, it's awfully good in that respect. Tomine would refine out his drawing style markedly, but early on, he could convey a lot about a face and he offered moments of keen insights about the marginal and the disaffected.
In high school, he counted himself among them. And he contributes a new charming self-deprecating introduction for this "box set" of the original comics, which appeared in book form a few years ago. (They are packaged in a nifty cardboard case.)
"If you're a 'glass half full' kind of person," Tomine writes, "you might say that these comics are youthful, energetic and even enlightening in terms of the evolution they chart. If you're feeling less charitable, you'd probably describe them as amateurish, scattershot, affected and deeply derivative."
Both views are true. And seeing them helps someone to understand how far he had traveled. In fact, his best book to date, "Shortcomings," the story of a sarcastic, sensitive and troubled Ben Tanaka, has recently come out in paperback. Reading "Thirty Two Stories" and "Shortcomings" side by side bookends his evolution.
Tomine isn't appearing at Drawn and Quarterly's booth this year. But notable peers are. Today, from noon to 3 p.m., Jason Lutes will be signing the second book in his evocative saga of 1930s Germany, "Berlin, City of Smoke," and Bob Sikoryak will be joining him during those hours to promote his new "Masterpiece Comics" book, which blurs the line between classic literary tales and vintage comics. (For example, Oscar Wilde's Dorian Gray is recast as a dandyish Little Nemo.) Check out the publisher's blog for updates: drawnandquarterly.com/blog/index.php.
Fantagraphics (fantagraphics.com), another leading graphic novel publisher, has a significant list of writer-artists making appearances today, including Gilbert, Jaime, Mario and Natalia Hernandez ("Love and Rockets #2") and Monte Schulz (son of Charles M., with his new novel, "This Side of Jordan").
But leave time to seek out smaller presses like San Diego's Murphy Art Books (murphydesign1.blogspot.com), and you'll find publications that merge the image and the word in myriad other ways. And as was the case with my introduction to Tomine at Comic-Con, you are likely to come across the work of someone you'll want to follow in the years to come.

Q. I know that all US TV programming will go digital sometime in February of this year, but I haven't quite decided yet if I want to replace my archaic analog television entirely, or just buy one of those digital TV converters so I can continue to use the old set. Which option would use less energy: an old, analog tube TV plus a converter, or a brand new digital set? – Marcia, NH
A. It's a close call. A digital converter, which will allow you to continue to use your quaint, old, rabbit-eared set after stations permanently stop broadcasting in analog on February 17, would use very little energy. So little energy, in fact, that it's not really even worth factoring into the equation. That means that the energy picture in this scenario really boils down to which television is most efficient, says Noah Horowitz, senior scientist for the Natural Resources Defense Council. In general, if you compare similarly-sized models, tube sets (also called cathode ray tube sets or CRTs) use considerably less energy than do plasma screen sets, but a little bit more energy than do LCD-screen sets. So if electricity use is your top concern, the first thing to do is pass on plasma. As for buying a new digital tube set, the new model would probably use about the same amount of energy as the old set, so that's not an ideal option either, especially if you take into account the energy required to both produce that new set and dispose of the old one properly.
That leaves you looking at a new LCD set, which would actually be a little more efficient than your old set, if you went with an Energy Star model, and resisted the urge to upgrade on size.
The last thing to consider is that next years' sets are expected to be considerably more energy efficient than the ones you see on the market today. So if you really want cut a few Cs when it comes to your TV habit, your best option might even be to get the converter box for now, and wait a year or two to consider any further upgrades. Who knows, by then there may actually be a few more shows worth watching on the networks, too.

Sunday Night Movies is... an arresting series of watercolors...the paintings are suffused with a kind of rosy light: bright whites, celluloid blackness, a celestial gray haze... It is a soft light, the kind you shine on something you love.Bookforum
Ethereal illustrations expand on a New York Times series by an acclaimed author, artist, and art-lover
Sunday Night Movies features Leanne Shapton's romantic interpretation of moments from the movies that populate her memory. She captures fragments and stills that appeared on the screen for mere seconds and, in a gorgeous deep black watercolor, re-envisions them, forging haunting images that stay with you, much like a hazy but stubborn recollection of dreams past.
What could be a simple still life or portrait of an actor in a classic scene becomes so much more when seen through Shapton's eyes. This journey through Shapton's film life becomes a wistful, if light-handed, celebration of the quiet moments in life, which too often slip by unnoticed. Each painting is like a love letter to the art form of cinema.
Nothing is as magical as when artist Leanne Shapton casts a dreamy eye towards classic iconography; she transforms the language of images with each grey wash and carefully chosen line. Her bestselling Petit Livre art book The Native Trees Of Canada took a century-old government catalogue and reworked it, using bold colors and stark shapes to represent the trees in all their majestic glory. The book was a sleeper hit, and went through multiple printings. With Sunday Night Movies she brings her distinctive style to bear on moments in her own life and the effect is restrained and fanciful, familiar and all new. It's a uniquely beautiful book from an artist known for her dreamily beautiful work.

Sol Soap is a family business that produces cold process soap, body scrubs and other unique bath products! We are defined by our quality products, reasonable pricing and the meaningful connections and long-term friendships that we create with customers!
Initially, I became involved in making cold process soap as a hobby, but it didn't take long before my friends and family began requesting bars. I love soap making and enjoy talking about it with others, so turning my hobby into a business just seemed like the natural progression.
Giving back is also a big part of who we are as a business! My husband and I have been involved in charities throughout our lives, so when we created "Sol Soap," we built this into our business model. Having retired from the Air Force, we chose to give back to military community and we donate 10% of all of our sales to veteran based organizations and other worthwhile charities.

Owner-Soap Maker
How is Cold Process Soap Made?
Cold Process Soap is made by mixing lye/sodium hydroxide (a base) and oils (acids) such as olive oil, coconut oil, palm oil, rice bran oil, etc. Lye, changes the composition of oils to produce a bar/batch of soap--a process called "saponification". This process takes 24-48 hours. Afterwards, the soap bar/batch enters a curing phase, which typically requires between 4-6 weeks to cure (dry and harden).
Some people believe that products containing lye are dangerous to use, however all true soap is made using lye/sodium hydroxide (even the bars you buy at your favorite department store). Most soap makers only use food grade lye in our soaps to ensure its purity. When soap is prepared properly, no lye remains in the bar of soap after saponification has occurred (the first 24/48 hours), the lye and oils have chemically changed to make soap.
As a matter of fact, lye is also commonly used to make bagels and hominy. (https://www.soapqueen.com/bath-and-body-tutorials/cold-process-soap/free-beginners-guide-to-soapmaking-cold-process/).
Cold Process Soap
The main benefit to cold process soap making, is the control you have over the ingredients that go into your soap. This quality control ensures that disagreeable ingredients associated with most mass produced store bought soap (harsh detergents, preservatives and other chemicals (ingredients that strip away natural oils from your skin) are not added to your soap. Another benefit you gain through cold process soap is glycerine, which is very good for your skin. Most soap companies remove glycerine from their soap during production, in order to sell it to cosmetic companies for additional profit.
Depending on the ingredients you use, cold process soap making typically yields a long-lasting bar of soap that not only cleanses but adds oils back to your skin instead of stripping them away.
Homemade Soap
Most soap makers use high quality ingredients, proven/well-established recipes and soap formula calculators to ensure exact recipe measurements/soap results. They also test their soap products prior to selling it to the public. They continually work to refine their individual soap process in order to create the highest quality soap they can create.
I purchase soap ingredients from vendors who specialize in soap-making oils and ingredients that are FDA approved and select ingredients by quality, not by price.
Soap Weight & Pricing
Our soap is priced by weight and by design. Typically bath bars are 4 ounces and above. Smaller bars (those under 4 oz) are usually listed as "hand bars". Soap bars may come from the same soap batch, but weight sets their pricing. Specialty bars that require more time to produce due to design intricacy or those that require special ingredients are the exception and may cost a little more. This site uses Paypal as a payment forum but you may use most types of common credit cards through this payment option, you do not need a Paypal account.
How to Extend the Life of Your Soap
To obtain the optimal life of a soap bar, you must prevent them from sitting in standing water. Many soap dishes do not allow proper water drainage, so they breakdown and dissolve very fast start. To prevent this, use a well ventilated soap dish, such as a slat styled dish, or one that allows air to completely circulate around the bar allowing. Allow it to dry between uses. Bamboo and Teak are great types of wood for soap trays due to their resistance to water. However, any type of soap dish that keeps the bar from sitting in standing water and optimizes airflow and drying will work.

Gediminas Grinius was a road runner from Lithuania – a country without mountains. In a short time, the father of two has become a formidable competitor in the international ultra trail running scene.
Not only did he win the 125 km Trangrancanaria Ultra Race, the 35-year-old broke the race speed record set by fellow Suunto ambassador Ryan Sandes. Most recently he placed fourth at the Western States 100-Mile Endurance Run.
Not bad going for a guy who lives 500 km away from the nearest mountain range. Below, he shares six things that helped him make the leap from road to trail.
Gediminas traveled to the USA two weeks before the Western States 100-Mile Endurance Run to train. © Gediminas Grinius
1. Patience is a virtue
You must be patient. The first two or three years I felt unnatural and really didn't know anything about trail running. It was quite difficult. For example, when you run on the flat your stride is quite different than technical downhill running. You must be patient because learning new things takes time.
2. Hit the gym
Over winter I was in the gym doing all kinds of things to keep my legs in shape. For example, I've been doing a lot of squats and step box training, which imitates power hiking.

3. Make friends with a hill, any hill
There's one hill near where I live and it's only 70 m high, but I've used it to do hill repetitions, usually 20 or 30 times up and down. It helped me to handle the mountains in the Trangrancanaria race.
He spent time training on the shores of Lake Tahoe. © Gediminas Grinius
4. Avoid injury
When you're doing a lot of training you have to be careful to listen to your body to avoid getting injured. Over the last five years I haven't had any serious injuries so I've been able to sustain my training level and increase it. This has helped me to become a stronger runner.
5. Be prepared to travel
If you want to run in the mountains, then you must spend a lot of time in the mountains. The more time you spend in the mountains on technical trails the better you become. It's 500 km and a five-hour drive from where I live to the nearest mountains. I usually choose to train in a place which is in the south of Poland and that's 10 hours driving from where I live. I try to do it as often as possible.
6. Take up yoga
Sometimes when you're running in the mountains it becomes stressful. But yoga has taught me how to relax my mind. Sometimes even when I have pain or some other issue, what I've learned through yoga has helped me to relax.
