NASCAR.com wrote:Circumstances shuffled Andy Lally into a championship-winning career in sports car racing, but a mutual commitment between TRG Motorsports owner Kevin Buckler and his lead driver have resulted in Lally's lifelong dream coming true via a guaranteed start in the Daytona 500.
Goldendale, WA, USA- Andy Lally capped off a crazy coast to coast racing weekend with three race wins. His week began at Maryhill with the practice sessions on Wednesday and Thursday morning. After the Thursday AM session he quickly drove to Portland to catch a flight to Florida so he could race his #66 TRG Porsche GT3 at Daytona International Raceway in the Rolex Sports Car Series. Andy had a great weekend at Daytona earning the GT class victory over his longtime rival Joey Hand in Saturday's Brumos Porsche 250. After the race, Lally made another quick dash to the airport to get back to Portland. He arrived back in Goldendale around midnight for some sleep before Sunday's Maryhill Festival of Speed finals.Since Lally had missed both qualification runs, he was forced to start from the back of the pack in both the Street Luge and Classic Luge races. Conditions at the track were hot and very windy. The wind especially affected the Street Luges off the start where it was difficult to get a good push because of the headwind. The wind also sped up the pace significantly in the Skatera straightaway leading into the difficult Seismic Cowzer Corner. Christian Conaway Crashes out in Seismic Corner. Onboard Photo Willian StephensonThe Street Luge race began with the quarterfinals round. The only upset in the round occured when third place qualifier Christian Conaway came through Seismic Cowzer Corner with a bit too much speed and clipped the hay bales on the exit allowing Chris McBride to come passed moving him into the Semi-finals.The first Semi-Final heat included Matthias Lang, Chris Hicks, Kyle Castaneda, Will Condon, Ryan Everlsey and Simon Godfrey. Lang, Hicks and Castaneda used their superior pushes to get out in front. The trio never looked back. Behind them a great battle ensued between Condon and Everlsey for fourth place.The second Semi-Final included Mike McIntyre, Kolby Parks, Will Stephenson, Chris McBride, Louis Roy and Andy Lally. The race started with Lally, Stephenson and McIntyre pushing their way into the top three positions with the others close behind. Mcintyre passed Stephenson going in the first never-ending corner. Parks then began to slowly close the gap with Stephenson for the third and final transfer spot. Parks went for a inside pass on the Gate turn and Stephenson shut the door. Video from Parks helmet camera showed that Parks foot actually went under Stephenson's board and narrowly missed his back wheels. From that point Parks lost momentum and could not recover.In the finals it would be two time Maryhill winner Matthias Lang, defending Maryhill winner Andy Lally, multiple time Maryhill podium finisher Mike Mcintyre and Chris Hicks, Kyle Castaneda and Will Stephenson who were looking for their first ever Maryhil podium. Off the start the order was Lang, Hicks, Lally, Mcintyre, Stephenson and Castaneda. As the battle for the top four got very close and into draft train Stephenson and Castaneda fell behind and wouldn't be able to catch up.Lally then passed Hicks for second coming into the first Never-ending corner. Hicks was then passed by Mcintyre coming out of the Ambulance turn while the whole group inched closer and closer to Lang. Coming into the turn before Cowzer, Lang has a slight slide which allowed Lally to get a run on the inside coming into Cowzer. Lang then took a line which that was too tight for the speed he was carrying and slammed into the outside straw bales. Lally then cruised to the finish line with Mcintyre in second and Hicks coming though in third for is first podium in two years.It was an incredible weekend for Lally earning three victories on two different coasts. Everyone at Maryhill was really stoked to see Andy's commitment to gravity sports and amazed by his awesome performance. In each class he worked his through the brackets to earn a place in both finals. From there nothing could stop him. Maryhill Festival of SpeedClassic Luge1. Andy Lally2. Kyle Castenada3.

Two old garden friends, three new
Among the plants I love:
This little spirea has been with me since the beginning of the Proof of Life garden, when I was scouring the state for plants to fill in gaps and give me more late-summer bloom. I found it at Tagawa's, which for me was a two-hour jouney from home, but about which I'd heard so many good things from co-workers in South Denver. All of the spireas there were awash in bloom and absolutely thronged with bees, but this one in particular attracted a favorite of mine, the copper-banded bumblebee. There had to have been a good thirty of them in the little gallon-pot shrub. I brought it home and planted it west of my big double lilac, next to my giant sunset hyssop. And despite having had its trunk split by some random garden-tromper, it has done well and quintupled in size. And it still draws the copperbanded bumblebees, although not as many — somehow I think my little corner is a somewhat less target-rich environment for bees than Tagawa's umpty-acre establishment. It was flocked with honeybees last weekend. But it comes out of its sleep so slowly, putting on leaves, then tiny buds, and then, just when I've forgotten about the end-of-summer bloom party and can only remember the year's mistakes and missteps and things left undone — this flush of cool blue beauty. This surprise. This dainty reminder that life is good.

The Bosch eBike system entered the market in spring 2011. Today it is considered a benchmark due to its drive performance and its excellent responsiveness. A growing number of bicycle brands offer e-bikes with the Bosch system. During the development process, we faced many challenges that are atypical for automotive standards, such as an extremely short time to market. To enable an agile development process for the drive controller, a specific tool chain was established, starting from model-based virtual prototyping based on Simulink, through dSPACE® AutoBox-equipped prototype bicycles and test benches, to code generation using Embedded Coder. Using this tool chain, we were able to design and optimize highly complex software modules and to reduce efforts required to make changes.
The presentation gives insight into the challenges of this fast-growing market segment of e-mobility and how agile software development is employed to meet the requirements of consumer product life cycles.

New EA Sports NCAA Football game? The company says no
Electronic Arts left a cryptic message on its NCAA Football Facebook page on Monday, leaving fans wondering if the defunct video game franchise was in store for a revival.
"Our heart still beats for the big game," the message says, along with a video of heartbeats on an electrocardiogram screen.
The last installment in the series was NCAA Football 14, which launched in July 2013 for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Later that year, the future of the series went in limbo after several major conferences pulled their trademark licenses from EA and former UCLA basketball player Ed O'Bannon headed a a lawsuit against EA, the NCAA and The Collegiate Licensing Company for using player likenesses in the games.
Unfortunately for fans of the series, the Facebook post — the first on the page in a year and a half — was simply about the National Championship game.
"We have no new plans or announcements to make regarding the EA SPORTS NCAA Football series," the company tweeted a couple hours later.
Today's #NationalChampionship game reminds us more than ever that the hearts in our community still beat for college football.

The All-New 2015 Ford F-150
From its fully boxed, high-strength-steel frame to the use of high-strength, military-grade, aluminum alloys* in its body and bed, this F-150 takes tough to a whole new level. Weighing in as much as 700 lbs. less than its predecessor helps make this truck a whole lot more capable and more effective too. Plus, it accelerates, brakes and resists corrosion like never before. In addition, we standardized the chemistry of the aluminum alloy used in construction of the 2015 F-150 body and bed to facilitate recycling. Our aluminum scrap can be reclaimed and sent back into the manufacturing process to minimize waste.
Our new, fully-boxed high-strength steel frame is stronger and more rigid than ever with eight cross sections. Many steel components of the 2015 F-150 are designed to enable using a roll-forming process that minimizes weight and maintains strength.
Like its predecessor the 3.5L EcoBoost, this second-generation 2.7L EcoBoost dynamo achieves great low-end torque and capability combined with efficiency, bringing EcoBoost technology to a new level. The compacted graphite iron block is extremely strong. It's the same material we use in the engine block of our 6.7L PowerStroke diesel. Auto start/stop technology, a variable-displacement oil pump, and new stronger yet lighter connecting rods are just a few of the innovations that make our newest EcoBoost engine efficient and powerful enough for your work site or, for that matter, even the Baja 1000.
Check out how the all-new 2.7L EcoBoost engine conquered the Baja 1000.
Technology That Works
Available Dynamic Hitch Assist helps you guide your ball right to the trailer's receiver. Our standard trailer sway control helps keep whatever you're towing behind you where it belongs. And our optional trailer brake controller helps ensure the truck's brakes and the trailer's brakes are working as a team.
This available four-camera system lets you to see all four sides of the truck, stitches the images together and displays them on a center stack screen for a bird's-eye view of the truck and surrounding area. It's great for maneuvering in tight parking spaces, job sites and trails.

The Spelling in Parts strategy can enhance children's ability to spell and decode multisyllabic words. The strategy, which can be taught in any systematic spelling program, combines phonemic awareness, the study of common orthographic patterns, visualization, and recognition of morphemic units such as roots, prefixes, and suffixes. The authors provide several classroom scenarios to illustrate this teaching and learning technique.

Time goes too fast!
Here's Isaac, posing in the light of his birthday candles. This was the most human of his birthday pictures. His other poses included "zombie birthday." I'll leave that to your imagination.
I didn't want Isaac to be born on the 13th, because some years, his birthday would fall on Friday the 13th (like this year.) I'm not superstitious about Friday the 13th, but I thought that birthday might provide opportunity for someone to give him a hard time sometime. If that has ever happened, I'm sure Isaac was able to handle it.

Yesterday evening, NASCAR revealed that Penske Racing driver A.J. Allmendinger is now indefinitely suspended from competition after he tested positive for a banned substance.
His only chance for reinstatement is to complete a drug rehabilitation course.
But NASCAR still hasn't said what exactly that banned substance is. We only believe it to be a stimulant because Allmendinger's camp said that's what it was.
But couldn't it be something else entirely? If NASCAR doesn't reveal the results of the test, we'll never know. Jenna Fryer, the AP's ace NASCAR reporter, has made a good case that NASCAR needs to be transparent with drug infractions.
While sports like football and basketball are also fairly secretive when it comes to drug testing, NASCAR (and racing in general) involves drivers trusting competitors with machines that can end up becoming weapons.
Fryer argues that the drivers deserve to know the risks that they could have faced when a driver tests positive. On the flip side, there is now a cloud over A.J. Allmendinger as well. Some people will assume he's a meth addict while others will speculate that his energy drink endorsement was to blame.
Reportedly, the sample was just nanograms above NASCAR's tolerance for a banned substance.
If you're going to accuse a driver of something serious enough to warrant an indefinite suspension, the fans and other drivers should also know what the exact infraction was.
But what do you think? Should NASCAR release the exact details of the positive test or keep it secret?

- What About Drug Resistance?
- How Is Truvada Taken?
- What Are the Side Effects?
- How Does Truvada React With Other Drugs?
What Is Truvada?
Truvada is a pill that contains two drugs used to fight HIV: tenofovir (Viread) and emtricitabine (Emtriva). Truvada is manufactured by Gilead Sciences. Generic versions have been approved under PEPFAR (see Fact Sheet 475).
The drugs in Truvada are called nucleoside analog reverse transcriptase inhibitors, or nukes. These drugs block the reverse transcriptase enzyme. This enzyme changes HIV's genetic material (RNA) into the DNA. This occurs before HIV's genetic code gets inserted into an infected cell's chromosome.
Who Should Take Truvada?
Truvada was approved in 2004 for treatment of people with HIV infection. It has not been carefully studied in children or older people.
Truvada is also approved for daily use by adults confirmed to be HIV negative, don't have symptoms of recent HIV infection and at high risk of becoming infected. PrEP should be used in combination with safer sex practices. This use is called pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP, see Fact Sheet 160).
While antiretroviral therapy is recommended for all persons living with HIV in the US, Canada and Brazil, there are no absolute rules about when to start antiretroviral therapy (ART). You and your health care provider should consider your CD4 cell count, your viral load, any symptoms you are having, and your attitude about taking ART. Fact Sheet 404 has more information about guidelines for the use of ART.
If you take Truvada with other antiretroviral drugs, you can reduce your viral load to undetectable levels, and increase your CD4 cell counts. This should mean staying healthier longer.
Truvada is not approved for treating people who have hepatitis B infection (HBV).
Some people with HBV get worse after they stopped taking Truvada. Get tested for hepatitis B before you start taking Truvada to treat HIV.
Truvada provides two drugs in one pill. It can be more convenient to use Truvada than some other combinations of drugs. This could mean fewer missed doses and better control of HIV.
What About Drug Resistance?
Many new copies of HIV are mutations. They are slightly different from the original virus. Some mutations can keep multiplying even when you are taking an ARV. When this happens, the drug will stop working. This is called "developing resistance" to the drug. See Fact Sheet 126 for more information on resistance.
Sometimes, if your virus develops resistance to one drug, it will also have resistance to other ARVs. This is called "cross-resistance."
Resistance can develop quickly. It is very important to take ARVs according to instructions, on schedule, and not to skip or reduce doses.
How Is Truvada Taken?
Truvada is taken by mouth as a tablet. The normal adult dose is one tablet, once a day. Each tablet includes 300 milligrams (mg) of tenofovir (Viread) and 200 mg of emtricitabine (Emtriva).
Truvada can be taken with or without food. If you have kidney problems, you may need to take Truvada less often.
What Are the Side Effects?
When you start any ART, you may have temporary side effects such as headaches, high blood pressure, or a general sense of feeling ill. These side effects usually get better or disappear over time.
Truvada is usually very well tolerated. The most common side effects of Truvada are the same as with tenofovir (Viread) and emtricitabine (Emtriva). They include headache, nausea, vomiting, rash and loss of appetite. In some people, tenofovir can increase blood chemicals called creatinine and transaminases. These are related to the kidneys and liver health. High levels can indicate injury to these organs.
Tenofovir can reduce bone mineral density (BMD). Calcium or vitamin D supplements may be helpful. This is especially true for people with osteopenia or osteoporosis (see Fact Sheet 557). BMD tests should be considered in people taking Truvada who have had bone fractures or other risks for osteoporosis.
Levels of lactic acid in the blood (lactic acidosis, see Fact Sheet 556) increase in some people taking nucleoside analog drugs. Liver problems including "fatty liver" may also occur.
In rare cases, people taking emtricitabine had some limited changes in skin color.
How Does Truvada React With Other Drugs?
Truvada can interact with other drugs or supplements you are taking. These interactions can change the amount of each drug in your bloodstream and cause an under- or overdose. New interactions are constantly being identified. Make sure that your health care provider knows about ALL drugs and supplements you are taking.
Truvada increases levels of ddI (Videx). The dose of ddI taken with Truvada should be reduced to 250 mg for people weighing 60 kg (132 lbs) or more. There is no information on ddI dosing for people weighing less than this.
Truvada should not be used with tenofovir (Viread) or emtricitabine (Emtriva, FTC) or with drugs containing lamivudine (Epivir, 3TC) including Combivir, Trizivir or Epzicom.
There are no data on interactions between emtricitabine and methadone. Tenofovir does not affect blood levels of methadone.
Tenofovir lowers the levels of the HIV protease inhibitor atazanavir (Reyataz). When taken with Truvada, atazanavir should be taken with ritonavir (Norvir).

Introducing a new version of an old favorite, the Cold Coin®. It still has all of the same great benefits of our original Cold Coin, helping to ionize the body and resist colds and congestion. Our newest Cold Coin comes with an extra added feature, new inspirational words "Nosce te Ipsum". This ancient saying is on the back of each coin. The Cold Coin is the perfect size. It fits comfortably in your front pocket or around your neck. Our Satin Cord (500bsc) comes with instructions to make the perfect length necklace with an adjustable slip-knot or use it to attach the Cold Coin to a garment.
Nosce Te Ipsum is an ancient Latin and Greek aphorism meaning "Know Thyself". A saying passed through time as a reminder of each individual's own divine self. To "Know Thyself" one must embark on a journey to find inner peace as well as purpose; to see thyself as thy truly are, through a non-judgmental eye. It serves as a reminder of one's potential for true enlightenment and inspiration for life's journey.
"Know Thyself" was inscribed above the Temple of Apollo at Delphi and has been attributed to many ancient Greek sages as well as many other honorable sources.
"Man know thyself; then thou shalt know the Universe." - Pythagoras
"Know thyself, because everything is in you." - Phemonoe, the first Priestess at Delphi
"Analyze thyself, know thyself and thy purpose - Physically, Mentally, Spiritually.. For in such an analysis one may find self." - Cayce
"An unexamined life is not worth living." - Socrates
Carry with you the aphorism ascribed to Pythagoras, Socrates, Heraclitus, Chilon of Sparta, Solon of Athens, Thales of Miletus, and Phemonoe the Mythical Greek Poetess to name a few. Carry with you the words that have inspired the great sages.
Only those who "know" will know what's on your Cold Coin.

Customers' Experiences:
"Reason I used this product - To eliminate my constant colds. My condition could be described as very run down. I am a
full time student, and a full time worker. I've been doing this for the past 2 1/2 years. Since then I had colds on top of colds with about 2 weeks between a cold... I began with this product,
and will keep this Cold Coin around my neck until I die. Harsh words aren't they?
"These are great!!! My sinuses are so much better!" - C.J., Polk City, FL
"These Cold Coins® work. I have carried one for twenty years and can attest that I have never 'caught' a cold. I give them away on a very regular basis to those I know that fight with low immune systems." - P.W., North Dartmouth, MA
"I have been wearing our one remaining cold coin all this Australian winter and have not caught a cold or flu, although everyone on my floor at the hospital has. Pretty good huh? Best wishes." - J.P., Fremantle, Australia
"I bought one of these [Cold Coins] from you earlier-I have a septum that was moved (damaged and mucus closes 1 nasal passage). But the Cold Coin in my pocket keeps my nasal passages all clear. It is Great! Thanks." - C.H.
"I purchased my first one from you 17 months ago. I have not had a cold in that whole period! I used to average about 3 to 4 per year before having the Cold Coin. With my engineering nature and disciplined approach, I can report that I have continuously kept it in my pocket every single day. I keep it overnight with my wallet on my dresser, so as to not forget it the next day for use. Here is something to report that amazes me- several times I have woken up with a slightly "stuffy" nose- usually one nostril- and soon after putting the Cold Coin in my pocket- it spontaneously clears up! As a child I suffered allergies to dust and hay fever, particularly in the summer, but in almost a year and a half I have not had one cold! Amazing. I have purchased a few more to give away, with your catalog to associates while telling them to try it and see what happens. In my case it really has worked well. For less than $5.00 per coin, I don't know who would not try it. The price of OTC medicines and the sick feeling, is surely worth a chance at trying a simple remedy such as the Cold Coin." - E.G.
"The Cold Coin is the best thing out there for my allergies" - P.A., FL
" … I have sinus & constant head colds, that is until I discovered the Cold Coin! I can breath freely without a stuffed-up nose, which I've had all my life also. My nose will clear within minutes of wearing the coin. ...I simply DO NOT CATCH A COLD while wearing the cold coin. I had caught a flu that was severe in the neighborhood. Making neighbors sick as long as 3 weeks average, I went through all the same symptoms in 4 days, till I applied a new coin, and was back to good health in no time." D.M.
"I love the Cold Coin. I have given many to friends and several in our ARE study group are using them with great result. In this arid land of allergies these are a miracle!" - K.J, Albuquerque, NM
"I really enjoy that product (cold coin). I haven't gotten sick and the friends I've given this to haven't gotten sick." -M.B., Santa Monica, CA

OK -- I admit it is Halloween (yes, my face is green) and the day brings forth strange visions of ghosts and goblins.. But this day is also perfect for a scary bit of real information. As most of you know, I travel a LOT -- different cities and hotels just about every week of the year. So as a road warrior, the findings I am about to describe, really make me sick -- literally and figuratively...
If you have a weak stomach -- STOP NOW. If not, read on... especially if you plan to travel for the holidays... but remember I warned you.
Happy Halloween, all!
On October 1, 2006, the Chicago Tribune ran an article about a study of the viruses that live on in hotel rooms LOOOOOOONNNGGG after the germ-bearing guest has departed. And the locations of these bugs were not where you would think they'd be... like the sink or toilet...
The tests were run BEFORE housekeeping had cleaned the rooms so it is likely that the findings overstate the situation somewhat. However, given that most hotel room cleaning consists of changing the sheets and towels and wiping out the bath tub, you can bet these findings are not far off.
Researchers had 15 people with "lab-confirmed" rhinovirus (the virus responsible for the common cold and I really don't want to know how they did that) spend a night in a hotel. After they checked out, the researchers tested 10 common items in the room. Here's what the research turned up as contaminated with the nasty little buggers:
1. Seven of 14 door handles
2. six out of 14 pens
3. Six out of 15 light switches, TV Remotes, and bathroom faucets
4. Five out of 15 phones
5. A number of coffee makers and alarm clocks
6. AND only ONE out of 10 toilets....
Now here is the really gross part (my eyes... my eyes...)
Several months later, the researchers asked the 15 participants to return to the hotels and visit rooms where certain items had been deliberately contaminated with their own snot -- frozen to preserve its potency, shall we say. (I want the job of smearing snot on stuff.) Surprisingly, only 5 agreed to do this -- I can't imagine why...
Each volunteer (they had to be either married to the researcher, paid a lot of money, or a real glutton for punishment...) visited two rooms and then had their hands tested for the presence of the virus. Sixty percent were contaminated by mucus that had dried on stuff for 30 minutes and 33% were contaminated by snot that had been left to dry overnight. Who thinks of these things?
The real question is, of course, what hotels agreed to this study? None were mentioned in the study...
So there you have a real horror story. Makes you want to go out and buy gallon jugs of disinfectant to take with you, doesn't it? Spray down the hotel room the minute you walk into it? But then the airlines probably won't let you take it on board...
Lesson learned? Next time you check into a hotel room, DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING... well, except maybe the toilet.
Yours in BI and traveling success!

For every Subaru there is out there, blasting sideways on some uncleared forest road, there's a half-dozen more sitting under piles of snow. Not cleared out the first big snow, not getting cleared out until the final melt.
Show us the best pictures you have of snowbound vehicles from this winter, I'm sure you can do better than the typically anti-driving Prius in my neighborhood above.

The Taste of Tea
A couple of weekends ago our good buddy Mike came over for movie night. Which consisted of I Am Legend + The Taste of Tea.
I only really wanted to see I Am Legend (on Blu-ray) for the CG scenes of empty New York. Which it delivered on. It didn't deliver on much else. (Solid performance by Sam though – pictured at left).
The clear winner was The Taste of Tea. Mike didn't know much about it, so I was really worried that it was going to be another Beijing Bicycle (which had been a harsh lesson in 'don't judge a movie by its english cover'). But it wasn't. It was 143 minutes of surrealist … well, not 'surrealist fun', but something like that. Irresistibility?
The Taste of Tea does go on. So load up on snacks. If you're going to dive in, push through the first 15 or so minutes, which I didn't especially enjoy. If you keep going you're rewarded with some beautiful long, unaffected shots of Japanese countryside. But more than that, with many captivating, sometimes bizarre, sequences.
Sachiko, the young daughter, was easily my favourite storyline. Sachiko spends most of the movie trying to deal with a giant version of herself which follows her, and which she can't make go away. It's a rare, quality treatment of the inner life and logic of little people. The elaborate plans you come up with to deal with things you don't understand, or which are only the product of your imagination. Making them none the less real to you. It's wonderfully done.
And finally, a mid-movie clip that's pretty representative of the whole:
But wait till you see the Mountain Song…

Campagnolo Record in "Century" Finish
Don't hold your breath waiting for a NEW OLD STOCK Campagnolo Record gruppo in the rare "Century" finish, a dark grey anodized finish that was offered for only two to three years, to show up on the market again. This gruppo is currently on ebay (item 330683659841).
The owner, Richard Sachs (yes the framebuilder), writes, "I have owned these parts since they were new and it's time to let them go. All of these components are in perfect shape, have never been used, and are in the original shipping boxes. Only the derailleur carton has any wear and its interior is a bit torn. But the contents are perfect. All of the contents in the eBay auction are perfect."
The gruppo appears in the 1991 Campagnolo catalog and was only offered for two or three years.
What's in the gruppo:
1. Record Century Crank Set 172.5 42-53
2. Record Century Delta Brakeset (cables are in the box, still blister-wrapped from Vicenza)
3. Record Century Derailleurs (the front is a braze-on type)
4. Record Century Headset (English threading)
5. Record Century Small Flange 32 Hole Hubs
6. Record Silver Seat Post 27.2
7. Record TBS Pedals (toe straps included but not showing)
8. Record Silver Down Tube Levers (cables included but not shown)
9. Record Bottom Bracket Assembly (English threading)
10. Record Alloy 8-Speed Cassette 11-24
11. Rohloff Chain

This is the second NOS set to appear on eBay this month. The first set (item #160725880556) sold for $7500! That may have well been the reason this second set appeared so close to the first.ReplyDelete
Yeah Angelo. This also turned up on ebay but was quickly taken offline - presumed sold http://www.ebay.com/itm/ROSA-TITANIO-CAMPAGNOLO-CENTURY-C-RECORD-1st-GEN-C-RECORD-ALL-NOS-/220948884600?pt=Road_Bikes&hash=item3371946c78#ht_1310wt_1398 (NOS De Rosa Titanio with C Record Century Group). The mind bogglesReplyDelete
We were never big fans of the "Century" finish but Larry still thinks this crank design is one of, if not THE most beautiful ever made. Richie's bids are getting up there and we wish him well with his auction - he's a long-time advertiser with Campy Only! a website we just started supporting with an ad. We're unabashed Campagnolo fans, as lovers of all things Italian. W ITALIA!ReplyDelete
Final price - $4155. I hadn't noticed until today but the auction ended at 0605 Pacific time. I can't help but think that if it had ended 13 or 14 hours later it would have sold for a good bit more; there are a lot less last minute bidders in the early morning than in the evening.ReplyDelete
Larry - I agree with you 100% on the crank design.

Thiessen: Only Alitos, Thomases And Scalias Need Apply As Republican SCOTUS Nominees
Marc Thiessen's recent attack on Chief Justice John Roberts for his opinion upholding the health care reform law attempts to move the right's ideological goal posts for the Court from the strongly conservative part of the field into what Reagan Administration Solicitor General Charles Fried has called "radically reactionary" territory. Thiessen, a former George W. Bush speechwriter, expressed his discontent in a July 2 Washington Post op-ed that criticized Roberts - a Bush appointee - for agreeing with the court's liberal members in an opinion upholding the Affordable Care Act. He framed his attack as a lament over the supposed difficulties Republican presidents have had in confirming dependably conservative justices.
But in doing so, Thiessen downplayed Roberts' extensive record of voting similarly to his fellow conservatives, especially Samuel Alito, whom Thiessen identified as a reliable conservative. Thieseen also ignored the well documented shift in the court's ideological center in recent years: the four "liberal" justices are much closer to the center than William Brennan, Thurgood Marshall and other justices on the court's left only a few decades previously. In this way, Thiessen paints a picture of liberal triumph and conservative frustration which bears scant relationship to reality, which is the most conservative Supreme Court in modern times.
Thiessen grouped Roberts with justices who disappointed conservatives (Sandra Day O'Connor and David Souter, both of whom are no longer on the court) as opposed to acknowledged right-wing successes Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas, and Samuel Alito. He attempted to make this case by focusing solely on the health care decision, and downplaying the rest of Roberts' record as a justice.
That record is clear. Roberts is, to use Thiessen's expression, a "rock-ribbed conservative." In the just-completed 2011 Supreme Court term, he voted with the Thiessen-approved Justice Alito in 90.5 percent of cases, after voting with him 96.2 percent of the time in the 2010 term. Roberts also voted with Justice Thomas in 87.8 percent of cases and Justice Scalia in 86.5 percent of cases in the most recent term. In other words, in the overwhelming majority of cases, Roberts votes with the justices whom Thiessen acknowledges to be acceptably conservative.
Thiessen makes no attempt to dig into Roberts' record in high profile cases beyond the health care decision, perhaps because doing so would further undermine his argument. Time after time in high-profile cases in which the court has split 5-4, Roberts has voted with his fellow conservatives. A partial list of examples would include Citizens United (empowering corporations and wealthy individuals to spend unlimited money in political campaigns); Wal-Mart (preventing women alleging sex discrimination from joining together to seek justice); Concepcion (allowing corporations to manipulate fine print in contracts to keep ripped off consumers from joining together in court); and Ledbetter (preventing a woman who was paid less than men from going to court).
A recent study confirmed that Roberts (along with his colleagues Justices Alito, Scalia, and Thomas, and his mentor, former Chief Justice William Rehnquist) is one of the "five most conservative justices to serve on the court since 1937."
Thiessen contrasted his inaccurate portrait of conservative failure with what he imagines to be a triumphant judicial liberalism. But this analysis fails by looking no further than the subject of Thiessen's scorn - the health care reform decision. What Thiessen ignored is the Medicaid portion of the health care decision, in which two of the liberal justices (Stephen Breyer and Elena Kagan) joined the court's conservative bloc in imposing unprecedented restrictions on the Congress' spending power. He further ignored a point many commentators have made: that today's liberal justices are much closer to the center than a previous generation of justices on the court's left. Geoffrey Stone of the University of Chicago Law School has noted that none of the current liberal justices is "even within hailing distance" of justices such as William Brennan and Thurgood Marshall. Another scholar making the same argument about the Court's drift to the right points out that Marshall and Brennan argued that "the Constitution banned the death penalty in all circumstances, created a right to education, and required the government not merely to protect the right to choose but actually to fund abortions for poor women."
The absence of views that are further left of center than those of the current liberal justices has contributed to the court's tilt to the right. There is no balance to the extreme conservatism of the Republican-appointed justices, all of whom (including Roberts) agreed with what Reagan Administration Solicitor General Charles Fried has called a "radically reactionary new doctrine" to find the health care law to be beyond Congress's powers under the Commerce Clause.
The current Supreme Court is very conservative, and one decision, even one that attracts as much attention as the health care case, cannot change that. It is not complicated how the court got this way - its conservatives are very conservative by historical standards while its liberals are not all that liberal. But for Marc Thiessen, even "radically reactionary" isn't conservative enough, and he makes the case for future Republican Supreme Court nominees to be so conservative that they could not possibly break with the right.

Shiri Appleby's baby girl has a name! The actress, engaged to chef Jon Shook since last July, has decided to call her little bundle of joy Natalie Bouader Shook. (Bouader is her mother Dina's maiden name.)
As Us Weekly revealed exclusively earlier this week, the Girls guest star — who played a character named Natalia during her recent stint on the HBO series — welcomed a daughter on Saturday, March 23, in L.A. Born at 5 p.m. sharp, baby Natalie weighed in at 6 pounds, 12 ounces, and measured 20.5 inches.
"She's heaven," Appleby, 34, told Us of her little girl. "I'm beyond thrilled."
The Roswell alum and her fiance announced they were expecting in December but said they were waiting to find out the child's gender until Appleby gave birth. They spent the next few months decorating the nursery (in monochromatic colors) and just enjoying all the ups and downs of pregnancy.
Earlier this year, the mom-to-be told Us that the experience had brought her and Shook, an owner of L.A. eatery Animal, closer together. "When you see this guy going to all the doctor's appointments with you, and you tell him you're feeling a certain way, and two minutes later he's looked it up on the internet to tell you that it's normal, you realize that you're really starting a family with somebody," Appleby gushed to Us. "There's no way to look at that person and not be more in love."

Hypertonic Pain: What It Is And How To Overcome It
What do headaches, shoulder pain, hip pain, tight quadriceps, pulled muscles, cold limbs, knots on the back, restricted breathing, plantar fasciitis, fibromyalgia, knee pain and chronic fatigue all have in common? Hypertonic muscles.
Hypertonicity of muscles is a common problem in our modern American society. Hypertonicity implies an excessively constricted muscle or, in layman's terms,
tight muscles
Muscles constrict, or become tight, for many reasons. Included among them are: a lack of exercise or too much exercise; sitting, lying or standing for prolonged periods of time; everyday walking; lack of stretching; abundance of toxins in the body; stress, worry and anxiety; blood stagnation; exposure to cold and various psychosomatic triggers.
In order to understand why stretching is so important and how not doing it causes pain and ill health, we must first understand the basic composition of related areas in the body.
Understanding The Body
In terms of stretching and pain related to not doing it, the body consists of bones, joints, ligaments, muscles and tendons.
Bones are the basic framework of the body and give it its form. Joints are joining points between bones that allow motion and give the body its motive function. Joints are stabilized by ligaments. These are elastic bands that connect bone to bone and prevent joints from moving incorrectly. Motion in the joints is made possible when muscles contract.
Connective tissue is the binding structure of the body and is what makes up fascia, tendons and ligaments. Connective tissue is constructed of collagen and elastin fibers. It is these fibers that hold the many structures of the body in place.
Collagen fibers (such as make up tendons) are rich in protein and are non-elastic—that is, they cannot be stretched. Elastin fibers (such as make up ligaments) consist of elastin protein and these both elongate and return to its normal resting length.
Muscles are the things that both voluntarily and involuntarily contract to move the body. Muscles have a tendon of origin and insertion that crosses a joint. It is when a muscle is contracted that the tendon pulls over the joint and causes movement.
Most important is the muscle resting length. This is the correct and natural length the muscle should assume when at rest. This is important because understanding it is the first sign of recognizing how and when problems occur.
How Problems Occur
While the body is generally able to adapt to its environment, chronic misuse can cause the tendons to tear, ligaments to overelongate and muscles to become cramped or to tear.
Tendons can tear when a load is placed on them that is too great, such as when jumping or running without first warming up and stretching. These tears cause acute pain and if left to chance will take a very long time to heal, if they heal at all. Many athletes and weekend warriors will experience a tear and think it is a muscle pull and aggravate the situation by not taking care to heal the injury. This is how chronic pain occurs.
Ligaments can become over-stretched through prolonged misuse and this prevents them from constricting back to their normal resting length. The causes of such over-lengthening of ligaments are common and include stretching too much or stretching incorrectly.
One of the major problem areas I see in my practice is with yoga. So many yoga studios are run by well-intentioned people who only spent a short amount of time understanding their practice and have little to no basic anatomy education. This leads to overstretching and a holding of the overstretch of certain postures that cause the ligaments to elongate and not return to their normal length. Thus, the joints that the ligaments held in place are now able to move in directions they are not meant to, causing friction, wear-and-tear, nerve irritation and chronic pain.
Chronic hip and low back pain are conditions I see regularly from my patients who practice yoga. (Just to be clear, I am a fan of yoga—just not
Muscles become "pulled" when we engage in any activity (including walking) at a time when our muscles are not at their resting length. In most cases people are not aware that there is a "resting length" of muscles and assume that tightness is common to the human body. This is not so (though it may be a chronic experience of the human condition).
When the muscles are hypertonic (shortened and not at proper resting length) while the body is inactive and then we attempt to do something requiring motion, the muscles cannot sufficiently elongate and problems occur. Actually, muscles don't "stretch." What actually occurs is myosin and actin proteins of the muscle myofilaments cross one another and allow muscles to elongate.
When we begin an activity with the muscles already in a shortened state and expect the body to allow us to run, jump, climb, kick, stretch deeply and even walk, we are looking for trouble. How can the body effectively elongate the muscles to accommodate the activity while the body is cold, inelastic, existing in blood stasis and beginning at a muscle movement deficit? It cannot.
Yet we do it all the time. We sit in a chair at the office all day and then walk. Chronic sitting causes the piriformis muscle to shorten and this can cause the hips to rotate. And walking without ever stretching causes chronic tightening of the calf muscles which is a ready cause of both knee and low back pain.
I am regularly appalled when I hear seasoned athletes and therapists alike claiming that you
don't need to stretch
before an activity. They say, "Just do some jumping jacks and then run or bike or play tennis. After you're finished and the muscles are warmed up, then stretch." How absurd.
Running "cold and tight" causes tight thigh muscles and biking "cold and tight" causes tight hip flexors.
Yes, you must stretch after an activity. But you must stretch before an activity so that the muscles begin from a proper resting length and the activity does not cause harm. So the proper order is for you to first warm up, then stretch and then engage in the activity. If you don't, you will be the cause of your own injury.
And many people try to "just work through" the pain, by lifting more, running more, getting a massage, doing more yoga. But these things will never correct the problem, as the problem is caused by engaging in activities while the muscles are at improper resting lengths. That is, doing any activity while muscles are tight. And this includes walking.
Another problem is than many people don't know how to stretch.
Basic Stretching Guidelines
Since the beginning of every American physical education class, every martial art class and every dance class, we've been taught the improper way to stretch. That is, we've been taught stretches that were put in place before the science of sports medicine showed us the flaws to such methods as well as the proper ways to stretch. Unfortunately, we are creatures of habit, and it is easier to continue to teach incorrect stretching than to do some continuing education to learn and disseminate the up-to-date information.
In short, proper stretching allows a fresh supply of blood, nutrients and heat to move into a muscle to allow it to become supple and able to move past its resting length and then to return to its resting length.

Rarely does a bar fit into its niche as well as Cherry.
Pitched at more-mature party people in their 30s and onward, Cherry offers all the good things of an upscale downtown lounge — drinks, dancing, classy atmosphere — without the frenzy and social struggle.
Nestled in the heart (or the pit?) of Cherry Creek North, Cherry announces itself with a tasteful, unobtrusive sign above the stairs to the entrance. The bar is below street level, which is always a nice touch for a drinking spot.

Thanks for the post, I did get to go and posted about how it went in grief and loss but Ill just paste it below, also I would love to meet you when you come down just remind me closer to the date that youll be coming.
quote:Julie, thank you. The service went ok I do not support the hospital at all and it was hard very hard going back there I started crying before I ever got inside we went right past the back doors they first took her in through and it bought back so many memories, once we got inside the champlain that was there at the end and took her from me didnt say a word to me but seeing him hurt. They had us go light a candle for her I chose a white one since her birthstone is diamond which is white.
There was a few babies there including a girl who was right across from me she was tiny and seeing her curled up reminded me of how Sebanna used to do that she also had a pink headband on, and I had put a pink headband on Sebanna before they took her I missed her so much and it seemed the whole section next to us was people with babies, there was a little baby (maybe 4-5 1/2 lbs) with nasal oxygen and a monitor cord hanging from his foot he didnt appear too sick but he was pretty small I figured he was either a hospital patient that they let just come with his parents to the service or he was on home oxygen/monitoring it may have been his twin that his parents bought him for but it made me so sad there was a few other little babies people bought but there also was a set of twins being remebered from the sounds of it babies and I was so sad for the family, it was so sad seeing the whole room fill up with people and fill up it did and the service was just for those who had passed away in the last few months
Hospital service,

Man Has Close Encounter With Mountain Lions
A Colorado homeowner got up-close-and-personal with three mountain lions prowling near his home.
John Vomastic, of Manitou Springs, Colo., was home Tuesday when he heard something outside his window. When he went to the window to take a look, the eyes of one of the lions were staring back at him.
"That was a little bit frightening because the only thing protecting me from that big cat was a piece of glass," Vomastic told local ABC News affiliate ABC7.
Vomastic lives at such a high altitude in the mountains of Colorado that he has set up cameras and sensors to alert him when the wildlife who call the region home are close by.
It was those home security cameras that captured the three mountain lions exploring his own yard on Tuesday.
"[The mountain lion] came over and stood on his feet and looked into the window," Vomastic said.
The mountain lions walked away without conflict Tuesday and Vomastic says it's his honor to live among the wild beasts, despite the potential for danger.
"I consider it a privilege to live with these animals and share this space with them," he said.

ForumsGeneral Off Topic Chit-ChatMy TD Review
My TD Review
I posted the following review at "The ABC3s of Miscellany"
"I've been using TD for over a year now, and have come to rely on it completely at work. Still working on getting more organized at home.
Either way, TD is one of the best task managers I've used in 14 years of using electronic todo lists. In it's free version, it's one of the most complete task managers available, including such features as Folders (anything you want them to be), Contexts (Customizable, usually things like work, home, errands), Status (Active, Next Action, Hold, Waiting, Someday, Delegated, etc.), Start and Due Date and time with extensive repeating task capabilities.
For a lousy $15/yr, they throw in sub-tasks and individual notifications and Goals (yes, finally I've found a task manager that can tie my tasklist to my goals at 3 different levels), but I'd pay it anyway, just to keep them in business. For $30/yr, they add document storage and a few other high level features. All a bargain no matter how you slice it.
This web app can be used by beginners or experts because you get to choose in the Settings which features you want to use. Like it simple? Choose one or two and go for it. Like to get serious? No problem, just choose all you can handle.
The Help screens are basic and need some updating, but are a good starting point. Beyond that, the Forums are some of the best in the biz, and the owner, Jeff, visits every day and replies to any posts that need his input, usually within a day. You can't beat that! Other users are there to help as well.
TD is one of the most powerful task managers available with some of the best support you could hope for - a great combination! And oh, yes, updates are frequent and responsive to user input, particularly to the input in the forums. It just doesn't get any better than this. Give it a try and you won't be disappointed!"

Liberty News
Graduate Reception kicks off 2014 Commencement activities
Throngs of Liberty University students who will be graduating on Saturday and their families and guests enjoyed a carnival atmosphere at Williams Stadium during Friday afternoon's combined residential and online graduate reception.
Tents were set up outside the concourse with representatives from each of the university's academic departments. It was a chance for many graduates who have earned their degrees online to interact with faculty members.
Plentiful portions of kettle corn, cotton candy, doughnuts, roasted peanuts, cake, ice cream, and fellowship were standard fare on the menu.
Chris Johnson, Liberty's senior vice president for enrollment management, formally welcomed the crowd. Dr. Ron Godwin, Liberty's provost, offered some facts about the Class of 2014, which will have more than 6,000 students march during Saturday's main ceremony, which begins at 10 a.m.
"We have over 18,000 students graduating at the end of this semester, which includes 15,144 graduates from Liberty's online program," Godwin said, noting the average online student is somewhere between 34-37 years of age. "Most of you are not kids anymore. You've got jobs, you've got families, you've got mortgages, you've got life to deal with and yet, you've taken on the challenge of acquiring another degree and increasing your education. I tell you, that's impressive, that's admirable, that's a good and godly thing you're doing."
Nearly 2,700 resident students will receive their diplomas. The top 10 states represented at graduation are: Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Texas, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Ohio, California, and Tennessee; and the top countries, besides the United States, are Korea, Canada, China, Nigeria, Germany, Haiti, Ethiopia, and The Bahamas.
Maxine Collins, from Richmond, Va., will receive her master's degree in Human Services, with a specialization in Marriage and Family. She completed her studies online and said she found the program very challenging.
"It was intensive because I'm working, I have a home to take care of, and I'm running a ministry out of my home, but it was worth it," Collins said, adding that this is the first time she has been on campus.
"It is wonderful, beautiful," she said. "Everyone's so nice and everything's so well put together and organized. I'm enjoying it."
This is the first year Liberty has combined its welcome reception for those earning their degrees from residential and online programs. The celebration will continue Friday night with the Baccalaureate service at 6 p.m., followed by a Military Recognition Ceremony at 7:30 p.m.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) Adrian Peterson came within 9 yards of Eric Dickerson's rushing record on Sunday, finishing with 199 yards and powering the Minnesota Vikings into the playoffs, 37-34 over Green Bay.
That forced a rematch with the Packers next weekend in a wild-card game.
Peterson rushed for 36 yards on the last drive, plenty for rookie Blair Walsh's 29-yard field goal as time expired to put the Vikings (10-6) in the postseason. The Packers (11-5) fell to the NFC's No. 3 seed.
Aaron Rodgers completed 28 of 40 passes for 365 yards and four touchdowns and no turnovers, connecting with Jordy Nelson from 2 yards to tie the game with 2:54 remaining. But Christian Ponder threw for three scores, including one to Peterson.

Is My Child a Struggling Learner?
by Dianne Craft
Joey, age 7, tries to read from the book his mom has chosen for him. It is from the series that she has successfully used to teach her other three children to read at this age.
"The f-a-t c-a-t s-a-t on the m-a-t," he reads, sounding out every word like it is brand new, even though he has read this story many times. There seems to be no retention of the words from day to day, or even from line to line.
Joey's lack of progress leaves Mom perplexed. She asks herself: Why isn't he learning as quickly as his brothers and sisters? He seems bright enough—but just doesn't get it. Am I teaching him too early, or does he have a learning disability? Can he be tested for one? And where would I take him to be tested?
This scene occurs in homeschool households across America, with children of all ages, in many learning areas other than reading. Children who have great difficulty spelling, writing, doing math and retaining information are often a puzzle to the competent, caring parents working with them. These parents don't necessarily see their children as having special needs, or learning disabilities, but they do see that they are working with struggling learners.
There are many levels of learning struggles. If a child has a learning glitch, he or she is working harder than he should have to, but is not behind. If the child is struggling more, and has a learning dysfunction, he has to work even harder to learn, and is about a year behind. If he has dyslexia, dysgraphia, or other learning disabilities, he has to work much harder, and is at least two years behind grade level in one or more areas. He may even be at a complete standstill academically. Many of these struggling learners are gifted.
These bright, hard-working children do very well in a homeschool setting where the parent can tailor teaching methods and curriculum to them, and spend more time working with them.
There are two things that are important to do for this struggling child:
In this website, our goal is to inform and educate you, the parent, in how to accomplish these goals with your child. Whether your child is experiencing a glitch, dysfunction, learning disability, or has special needs in other areas, this information should help you weave through the myriad of symptoms of stress in the learning system your child is experiencing. It will also guide you to the various teaching methods that work for these children, curriculum, testing, and therapies that are available to you.
God is so faithful to lead us to the right answers when we pray and believe Him for His leading.
