|Voices Of The Rocks: A Scientist Looks At Catastrophes & Ancient Civilizations.
Robert M. Schoch, PH.D.
1999. 258p. For ardent readers of current science, little is more appealing than stories of discoveries that change the way people view the world. In this volume, Schoch asserts that he is at the vanguard of a paradigm shift, not in his own field of geology, but rather in anthropology. From his geological analysis of the Sphinx, he draws a conclusion that he admits is controversial: that a technologically advanced civilization rose and faded in Egypt long before the time of the pyramids. Adding speculative science and drawing on myth, he asserts that other similarly advanced civilizations flourished around the world, only to be obliterated by global catastrophes brought on by a century-long rain of asteroid impacts. Similar cosmic storms strike once a millennium, he says, triggering or ending ice ages, causing floods, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions of biblical proportion, precipitating shifts in the earths axis. The 22nd century, Schoch predicts, will be the next era of catastrophe. Our civilization will be especially vulnerable because burning of fossil fuels and other global technological activities may seriously compromise the planets environment.

|Pyramid Quest: Secrets of the Great Pyramid and the Dawn of Civilization.
Robert M. Schoch, PH.D
2005. 384p. The Egyptologist acclaimed for re-dating the Great Sphinx at Giza sets his sights on one of the true mysteries of antiquity: the Great Pyramid of Giza. What is the Great Pyramid of Giza? Ask that basic question of a traditional Egyptologist, and you get the basic, traditional answer: a fancy tombstone for a self-important pharaoh of the Old Kingdom. This, Egyptologists argue, is the sole finding based on the data, and the only deduction supported by science. By implication, anyone who dissents from this point of view is unscientific and woolly-minded-a believer in magic and ghosts. Indeed, some of the unconventional ideas about the Great Pyramid do have a spectacularly fabulous ring to them. Yet from beneath the obvious terms of this controversy, a deeper, more significant question arises: how is it that the Great Pyramid exercises such a gripping hold on the human psyche- adding cryptic grace to the back of the one-dollar bill and framing myriad claims of New Age "pyramid power"? In Pyramid Quest, Robert M. Schoch and Robert Aquinas McNally use the rigorous intellectual analysis of scientific inquiry to investigate what we know about the Great Pyramid, and develop a stunning hypothesis: This ancient monument is the strongest proof yet that civilization began thousands of years earlier than is generally thought, extending far back into a little-known time. In tracing that story, we come to understand not only the Great Pyramid but also our own origins as civilized beings.

| Voyages of the Pyramid Builders.
Robert M. Schoch, PH.D
2004. 352p.Is it a mere coincidence that pyramids are found throughout our globe? Did cultures ranging across vast spaces in geography and time, such as the ancient Egyptians; early Buddhists; the Maya, Inca, Toltec, and Aztec civilizations of the Americas; the Celts of the British Isles; and even the Mississippi Indians of pre-Columbus Illinois, simply dream the same dreams and envision the same structures? Robert M. Schoch-one of the world's preeminent geologists in recasting the date of the building of the Great Sphinx-believes otherwise. In this dramatic and meticulously reasoned book, Schoch, like anthropologist Thor Heyerdahl in his classic Kon-Tiki, argues that ancient cultures traveled great distances by sea. Indeed, he believes that primeval sailors traveled from the Eastern continent, primarily Southeast Asia, and spread the idea of pyramids across the globe, particularly to the New World of the Americas where they abounded until the days of the Conquistadors.

| Maya Cosmogenesis 2012: The True Meaning of the Maya Calendar End-Date.
John Major Jenkins. Introduced by Terence McKenna
1998. 423p. The Maya Long Count calendar, a complex system for measuring time, was developed around 2000 years ago, possibly at the pre-Maya site of Izapa in southern Mexico. Jenkins, an independent researcher, presents a wealth of information about Maya astronomy, mythology, and calendrics in support of his analysis of the Long Count calendar end-date, scheduled to occur on December 21, 2012. Providing evidence that the end-date corresponds with a rare alignment of our solar system, Jenkins contends that the Maya were aware of this celestial event and believed that it portended a dramatic rebirth for humanity. Jenkins explains how the Maya mapped the movements of the Earth, including precession, and incorporated their measurements into their calendars. Good illustrations, maps, and an extensive bibliography complement this detailed work.

|Galactic Alignment: The Transformation of Consciousness According to Mayan, Egyptian, and Vedic Traditions.
John Major Jenkins.
2002.300p. This book is a fascinating and scholarly exploration of ancient cosmologies, which focuses on the relationships between the spiritual destiny of mankind and the solstitial position of the sun and the centre of our galaxy. Basing himself on a number of eminent authorities, John Major Jenkins describes a cosmic clock which provides critical end-points in the process of world-cycles. Jenkins makes us aware of the huge scale of the esoteric knowledge of antiquity, and he sets out to restore what has been lost, which is a form of cosmological knowledge embracing all the levels of our complex being at once. The great changes we are witnessing today are shown to be mysteriously coordinated with cosmic movements which we wrongly thought the ancients knew little or nothing about.

|Pyramid of Fire: The Lost Aztec Codex: Spiritual Ascent at the End of Time.
John Major Jenkins.
2004. 192p. The first translation of a previously unknown Aztec codex and its initiatory teachings for 2012. Discloses the potential for great spiritual awakening offered at the end of the Aztec calendar cycle. Presents the only existing English-language transcription of the Aztec codex, with line-by-line commentary. Contains the epic poetry and metaphysical insights of Beat poet Marty Matz (1934–2001). In 1961 an unknown Aztec codex was revealed to Beat poet and explorer Marty Matz by a Mazatec shaman in the mountains of Oaxaca, Mexico. Originally intended for dramatic performance, this codex presents a profound metaphysical teaching describing how the end of time will bring about a visionary ascent. At the behest of his Mazatec teacher, Matz transcribed this pictorial codex into a literary form that would preserve its initiatory teachings and reveal its secret meanings to a wider audience. Pyramid of Fire is an epic poem that provides a vehicle to transport the initiate into the higher realms of consciousness. It represents a barely surviving thread of teachings that have been passed down in secret since the time of the Spanish Conquest. Revealed are the techniques by which man is transported to the stellar realm after death via the solar energy within what the ancients called the "serpent of consciousness." Line-by-line commentary by Matz and John Major Jenkins provides insights into the perennial philosophy contained in the codex and its relevance to our times.

|The Science of the Dogon: Decoding the African Mystery Tradition.
Laird Scranton. Foreword by John Anthony West.
2006. 224p.A look at the close resemblance between the creation and structure of matter in both Dogon mythology and modern science. Reveals striking similarities between Dogon symbols and those used in both the Egyptian and Hebrew religions. Demonstrates the parallels between Dogon mythical narratives and scientific concepts from atomic theory to quantum theory and string theory. The Dogon people of Mali, West Africa, are famous for their unique art and advanced cosmology. The Dogon's creation story describes how the one true god, Amma, created all the matter of the universe. Interestingly, the myths that depict his creative efforts bear a striking resemblance to the modern scientific definitions of matter, beginning with the atom and continuing all the way to the vibrating threads of string theory. Furthermore, many of the Dogon words, symbols, and rituals used to describe the structure of matter are quite similar to those found in the myths of ancient Egypt and in the daily rituals of Judaism. For example, the modern scientific depiction of the informed universe as a black hole is identical to Amma's Egg of the Dogon and the Egyptian Benben Stone. The Science of the Dogon offers a case-by-case comparison of Dogon descriptions and drawings to corresponding scientific definitions and diagrams from authors like Stephen Hawking and Brian Greene, then extends this analysis to the counterparts of these symbols in both the ancient Egyptian and Hebrew religions. What is ultimately revealed is the scientific basis for the language of the Egyptian hieroglyphs, which was deliberately encoded to prevent the knowledge of these concepts from falling into the hands of all but the highest members of the Egyptian priesthood. The Science of the Dogon also offers compelling new interpretations for many of the most familiar Egyptian symbols, such as the pyramid and the scarab, and presents new explanations for the origins of religiously charged words such as Jehovah and Satan.

|The Sign & The Seal: The Quest For the Lost Arc of the Covenant.
Graham Hancock.
1993. 608p. The fact of the Lost Ark of the Covenant is one of the grant historical mysteries of all time. To believers, the Ark is the legendary vessel holding the stone tablets of the Ten Commandments. The Bible contains hundreds of references to the Ark's power to level mountains, destroy armies, and lay waste to cities. The Ark itself, however, mysteriously disappears from recorded history sometime after the building of the Temple of Solomon. After ten years of searching through the dusty archives of Europe and the Middle East, as well as braving the real-life dangers of a bloody civil war in Ethiopia, Graham Hancock has succeeded where scores of others have failed. This intrepid journalist has tracked down the true story behind the myths and legends -- revealing where the Ark is today, how it got there, and why it remains hidden. Built at the foot of Mount Sinai, Hancock tells us, it ``was deposited [around 955 B.C.] by Solomon in the Holy of Holies of the First Temple.'' Later, Hancock says, it was stolen by Solomon's outcast son and carried south to Ethiopia and kept there for 800 years by a Judaic cult. Then it apparently was seized by the Knights Templar, who thought that it was the Holy Grail. The Knights converted the Jews, who kept the Ark in a great church. And to protect the Ark, all of the churches in the cult have their own replicas of the Ark: The original is never seen, even on the holiest days of the year. Part fascinating scholarship and part entertaining adventure yarn, tying together some of the most intriguing tales of all time -- from the Knights Templar and Prester John to Parsival and the Holy Grail -- this book will appeal to anyone fascinated by the revelation of hidden truths, the discovery of secret mysteries.

|Fingerprints of the Gods: The Evidence Of Earth's Lost Civilization.
Graham Hancock.
1996 592p. The bestselling author of The Sign and the Seal reveals the true origins of civilization. Connecting puzzling clues scattered throughout the world, Hancock discovers compelling evidence of a technologically and culturally advanced civilization that was destroyed and obliterated from human memory. An exciting journey of discovery that spans continents and centuries, seeking evidence of humanity's first great civilization. A fancy piece of historical sleuthing...intriguing and entertaining and sturdy enough to give a long pause for thought. He begins the book with a chapter introducing us to an ancient map of Antarctica, made in AD 1513. It is called the Piri Reis map drawn up in Constantinople. It is an enigma because the 'modern' world only "recently" discovered Antarctica in AD 1818. Graham Hancock ends his book with more information and theories about the reason Antarctica may have shifted about 2,000 miles south of its original location, believed to be a subtropical climate, similar to that of the Mediterranean. Antarctica is believed to have been situated about 30 degrees north of its present position on the planet. The explanation for its movement is based on an idea endorsed by Albert Einstein who wrote of it in 1953 *before* the scientific community had yet formulated the continental drift theory or the earth-crust shift theory. Graham Hancock provides numerous references from science and archeology to support his theories and conclusions. The author contends the builders of these monuments and structures were trying to leave us, the future generation of the human race ... a message. They did this through archeological, mathematical, and scientific evidence, along with information passed down in myths and legends. Once started, this book is difficult to put down. Although it is not easy reading, it keeps the reader totally engaged and hooked, right from the beginning. Graham Hancock manages to connect catastrophic global events of the past, which scientists agree occurred about 10,500 years ago B.C. to the ancient monuments and ruins that are still standing. There are predictions that similar catastrophic events may again occur ... unless mankind changes their behavior on a global scale.

|The Message of the Sphinx: A Quest For The Hidden Legacy of Mankind.
Graham Hancock & Robert Bauval.
1997. 384p. Is the Sphinx of prehistoric origin? Why was it built? In this provocative, rigorously argued report, revisionist Egyptologists Hancock (The Fingerprints of the Gods) and Bauval (The Orion Mystery) join forces to answer these questions and more as they examine the Sphinx and its relation to the other monuments of the Giza plateau. Working from the premise that the Giza complex encodes a message, they begin with recently discovered geological evidence indicating that the deep erosion patterns on the flanks of the Sphinx were caused by 1000 years of heavy rain. Such conditions last existed in Egypt at the end of the last ice age, about 10,000-9,000 B.C., meaning that the Sphinx may be more than 12,000 years old (not the generally accepted 4500 years). The authors go on to suggest, using computer simulations of the sky, that the pyramids, representing the three stars of Orion's Belt, along with associated causeways and alignments, constitute a record in stone of the celestial array at the vernal equinox in 10,500 B.C. This moment, they contend, represents Zep Tepi, the "First Time," often referred to in the hieroglyphic record. They show how the initiation rituals of the Egyptian pharaohs replicate on Earth the sun's journey through the stars in this remote era, and they suggest that the "Hall of Records" of a lost civilization may be located by treating the Giza Plateau as a template of these same ancient skies. These daring, well-argued theories will raise the hackles of orthodox Egyptologists, but that doesn't mean they're wrong.

|The Mars Mystery: The Secret Connection Between Earth & the Red Planet.
Graham Hancock.
1999. 368p. As we continue to explore the red planet, geological evidence mounts that long ago water flowed freely across its surface, begging the question: If there was water, was there life? Graham Hancock thinks so. In fact, Hancock believes that certain formations on the Martian surface are the remnants of an ancient civilization--one strikingly similar to ancient Egypt--that was destroyed by a cataclysmic deep impact. Further, Hancock claims that NASA's reluctance to give credence to "The Face," "The Pyramids," and other things people see in images of the Martian surface is evidence that the U.S. space agency is motivated by cold war paranoia and mistrust. Hancock seems to be more fair-minded than many NASA critics, stating that, "what we see is a mindset, here, not a conspiracy." And indeed, one is hard-pressed to imagine why NASA isn't agreeing wholeheartedly with Hancock, since his ultimate point is that we should be paying more attention to our planetary neighbors and the skies above, lest we suffer the same fate as the Martians. Hancock raises many intriguing questions in this synthesis of unorthodox Mars theory.

|Heaven's Mirror: Quest For The Lost Civilization.
Graham Hancock & Santha Faiia.
1999. 352p. In this International Bestseller, Hancock lays down his theories of an ancient (Atlantean, perhaps?) civilization that disseminated a sophisticated religion of ground-sky dualism and a "science" of immortality. His chief thesis is that numerous ancient sites and monuments--the pyramids of Mexico and Egypt, the ruins of Angkor Wat in Cambodia, the monuments of Yonaguni in the Pacific, and the megaliths of Peru and Bolivia--are situated in such a way, geodetically, that they point towards some separate and uniform influence, some lost civilization or "invisible college" of astronomer-priests. And that civilization, as evidenced in the mathematics and architecture of the sites, points towards some gnosis, or body of knowledge, that would allow humanity to transcend the trap of mortality, a worldview in which the knowledge-giving serpent of Eden is not a villain but a hero. It rolls back the horizon of human knowledge to unknown epochs, to a prior high-civilization with technological skills we may not even possess today. Hancock's claim is no less than that. He proves that the monumental layouts of ancient Tiwanaku, Gizeh and Ankor are actually based on star-patterns from 10,500 B.C. and that they contain the coded numbers of the earth's 26,000 year precessional zodiac cycle. Heaven's Mirror is a gorgeous book, thanks to the photography of Santha Faiia. Lush, evocative full-color photos of the monoliths on Easter Island and temples deep in the Cambodian jungle are enough to set the mind to introspective wandering.

|Underworld: The Mysterious Origins of Civilization.
Graham Hancock.
2002. 740p. Graham Hancock continues his pursuit of uncovering lost civilizations, this time under the sea. He takes us on a journey through the Mediterranean, the Arabian Sea, Persian Gulf, Bay of Bengal and the Pacific Ocean around Indonesia, Japan and Taiwan by looking at underwater structures that might be of human origin. The government of India has recently authenticated two of his discoveries off the coast of India. In both cases, these structures are dated between 9000 and 11 000 years before the current era, which supports the hypothesis of a great flood that submerged vast areas of up-to-then habitable land. What I really like about Hancock as author is that he also provides the orthodox view at the same time as his own theories. Hancock has indicated the most likely places for pre-flood civilizations with the help of Dr. Glen Milne of Durham University who is an expert on glaciation-induced changes in the sea level, and taking into account the plethora of flood-myths found amongst all cultures on all continents. Underworld is lavishly illustrated and well served by a thorough index and extensive bibliography. This gripping text will amply reward the reader who enjoyed Hancock's earlier titles.

|Supernatural: Meetings With The Ancient Teachers of Mankind.
Graham Hancock.
2006. 720p. Less than 50,000 years ago mankind had no art, no religion, no sophisticated symbolism, no innovative thinking. Then, in a dramatic and electrifying change, described by scientists as "the greatest riddle in human history," all the skills and qualities that we value most highly in ourselves appeared already fully formed, as though bestowed on us by hidden powers. In Supernatural Graham Hancock sets out to investigate this mysterious "before-and-after moment" and to discover the truth about the influences that gave birth to the modern human mind. Hancock's quest takes him on a detective journey from the stunningly beautiful painted caves of prehistoric France, Spain, and Italy to rock shelters in the mountains of South Africa, where he finds extraordinary Stone Age art. He uncovers clues that lead him to the depths of the Amazon rainforest to drink the powerful hallucinogen Ayahuasca with shamans, whose paintings contain images of "super-natural beings" identical to the animal-human hybrids depicted in prehistoric caves. Hallucinogens such as mescaline also produce visionary encounters with exactly the same beings. Scientists at the cutting edge of consciousness research have begun to consider the possibility that such hallucinations may be real perceptions of other "dimensions." Hancock theorizes that hallucinogens serve to allow the consciousness to access the "junk DNA," strands of DNA we all possess which are considered useless by geneticists, and which possibly store advances in human knowledge which can be accessed through these "plant teachers." He sets out to create a Map of the symbolism of the inner realms, in order to develop a deeper understanding of these transformational experiences. Could the "supernaturals" first depicted in the painted caves be the ancient teachers of mankind? Could it be that human evolution is not just the "meaningless" process that Darwin identified, but something more purposive and intelligent that we have barely begun to understand? A fascinating and very original work!

Remember that nifty deck of cards that the Bush administration distributed just after we invaded Iraq? The cards were designed to be distributed among members of our armed services to aid in capturing the nastiest members of the Baath regime. They were also designed to popularize an invasion that with each passing day seems to have less and less to do with the war on terrorism.

LIVERMORE — Lawrence Livermore and Lawrence Berkeley lab researchers, along with scientists from six other national laboratories, will take part in a state-of-the-art supercomputing project designed to model, simulate and predict the effects of climate change on Earth.
The 10-year Energy Department project — Accelerated Climate Modeling for Energy — will develop and apply advanced climate system models on cutting-edge high-performance computing machines as soon as they become available, lab officials said.
"The (complex scientific) challenge simulations are not yet possible with current model and computing capabilities," Livermore National Laboratory atmospheric scientist and ACME council chair David Bader said. "But we developed a set of achievable experiments that make major advances toward answering the … questions using a modeling system, which we can construct to run on leading computing architectures over the next three years."
The ACME team includes the National Center for Atmospheric Research, four academic institutions and a private company. Other participating national laboratories include Argonne, Brookhaven, Los Alamos, Oak Ridge, Pacific Northwest and Sandia.
Researchers will start by analyzing three climate change drivers using the Energy Department's facilities at Oak Ridge and Argonne.
During the initial phase, supercomputing models will be used to simulate changes in the water cycle and analyze how those changes interact with the Earth's climate system.
They will also examine how nutrient cycles affect global climate change and assess the near-term risks of the rapid melting of the Antarctic ice sheet. The Energy Department's Office of Science is providing $18 million per year for the project, according to lab spokeswoman Anne Stark.

Extremely rare Texas dino turtle even more endangered than first thought
The extremely rare, utterly impressive and scary looking alligator snapping turtle is actually even more rare than first thought, according to a study out of Florida this week.
Researchers in the Sunshine State have found that the scaly creature, once common to Houston, is actually just one of three different kinds of the turtles.
Until this week, the species has been collectively known as macrochelys temminckii and nicknamed the "dinosaur of the turtle world" because of its fiercesome look and massive size. It can reach up to 200 pounds.
Now, two new species names have been added after scientists found distinct differences between the turtles that have grown up in river systems across the Gulf states.
The new study looked at data from turtles still in the wild as well as fossils that date back 15 million to 16 million years and determined the turtles developed differently according to their geographic location.
"We focused on the jaw bone, we found they had differing angles," said Travis Thomas, one of the authors of the report. "The major difference was in the shape of the back part of the turtle shell."
How big is your shell notch?
Turtles from the furthest west of their habitat, found in river drainages of the Mississippi and Mobile rivers will remain macrochelys temminckii, the type found in Texas rivers.
These were found to have a small notch in the rear of their shell measuring two inches.
They will be joined by macrochelys apalachicolae, which live in the Apalachicola and other Panhandle rivers. The notch in their shell is closer to one inch.
Then macrochelys suwanniensis, which lives in the Suwannee river system. They have an indent in the rear of the shell that is much bigger, at around four inches.
It means that the few who still live in East Texas are the last remaining of their kind, with just close relatives living across state lines, rather than direct decsendents.
A figure for how many of these prehistoric-looking beasts remain does not exist. Their shy nature and nocturnal lifestyle make it almost impossible to count them.
Some estimate the Suwannee still has around a 1,000 of them. That figure could be much lower in East Texas and Louisiana because of the love of local populations for turtle soup.
Decimated by the dinner table
"Whenever the (federal authorities) banned sea turtles from harvest, all the people, especially in New Orleans, who wanted turtle soup, turned to freashwater turtles," said Thomas. "That was alligator snapping turtles. They hit them hard and they hit them hard in a short amount of time."
Alligator snapping turtles also suffer because they can't reproduce until they are at least 12 years old. Their hatchlings have a very low survival rate because of nests getting destroyed or eggs getting eaten by racoons and other predators, according to the researchers.
It was thought that alligator snapping turtles were already completely extinct in Harris County until one was found trapped in Buffalo Bayou in April last year.
A member of the public spotted the 44-pound female dino-turtle caught in a ditch with a fishing hook stuck in her mouth.
Experts from the Wildlife Center for Texas called in SPCA divers to free her and she was transported to Texas A&M's School of Veterinary Medicine in College Station for surgery before being released back into the wild.
Researchers hope the new information published in the journal Zootaxa will help local conservationists form detailed plans for how to keep what remain of these rare species safe.
"We hope the new study leads to greater conservation efforts and management plans customized to protect each individual species," study author Travis Thomas said in a University of Florida news release. "The key to conserving these species is to protect their habitats. If we protect the rivers, that is the biggest step toward protecting the wildlife that depend on them."

It was very simple for me. If the lady didn't like Motorcycles, I would politely excuse myself. All my wifes have loved to ride My present and FINAL wife even rides her own.
Lifes too short to ride an ugly Motorcycle
We just got back from a ride to Corpus Christi today. My wife enjoys riding with me (even in the rain!). However she has a painful condition (sciatic nerve?) that causes her extreme distress after exactly 70 miles. We're riding a 2004 R1150RT with stock seat. That may need to be changed. I will see about adjustable footpegs so she can stretch out a bit. On the stock seat I can go over 200 miles without noticing any discomfort, and i would like to go 600. An over-nighter to Big Bend has a lot of appeal. Anyway, she would like to be able to go further and she talks about camping instead of moteling so we may have some adjustments to make. I am hopeful that I can make the bike comfortable enough for her that she likes it as much as I do.
my spouse and I have an agreement - she's not interested in riding and I don't push it on her and in turn, she shoos me out of the house during our short riding season to help me keep my mental health. She knows that if I don't get out I'll just get really crabby and she'd rather have me be happy - for both of our sakes!
I'm aware of how lucky I am!
BugCollector - your wife might want to try acupuncture if she has sciatica - I had a bad case several years ago and acupuncture got rid of it. There are also stretching exercises that have been helpful.

My SO has a passion of her own...dressage. I don't try to ride her horses, she doesn't try to ride mine.
We respect the passion we each have for what we do, and it helps to have an understanding partner who shares the winter blahs when we cannot ride. She's gotten on the bike a few times with me, but no real interest in long trips, etc.
I think in general, if a spouse or SO has something to focus their passion on, it makes it easier for us to have our passion without creating friction.

Dear Thread,
I have read this thread with great interest and envy.
What if your passions preclude your spouse participating?
I am an introvert. I love solo riding and solo sailing. A day group ride for me involves meeting in the morning for coffee and breakfast and agreeing where we will meet for the evening meal then not seeing anyone until then. A group day of sailing is a race of solo racers and I may tack away from the body of the fleet just because. My ex was a rock climber, a very good one. I don't deal well with heights. This is one of the reasons she is my ex even though we loved each other. We grew apart it seems.
Introverts regain their social energy by being alone. I enjoy being out in public and have had jobs with a great deal of public contact.
Solo Rider in Fly-Over-Land
...If I could find a hack with air conditioning (allergies, hot flashes), sat radio, storage for the Nook and knitting, beverage dispenser, custom built seat with adjustable lumbar support, and sun shades...maybe...just maybe...she would ride.
In the meantime, I enjoy my afternoon rides.

Like many others, my wife and I have different passions. I love travel and motorcycling, camping and meeting new people. Tamara likes her little flock of Icelandic Sheep, producing the wool she uses for knitting. She has no interest in going anywhere. I attempted to coax her into joining me by getting a sidecar; the plan was she would either call it her own or knit in the hack. Didn't work out.
So now she stays home and follows her passion, while my faithful companion and I travel to meet new folks and try new things in far away places.

My wife of 27 years, while she does occasionally enjoy riding with me on multi-day trips, has her own passion, horses. Since she cannot get the time off that is available to me, I will solo for the part of the trip that is getting there and she will fly out to join me for the part of the trip that is riding while 'there'. We have a '99 LT with the passenger floorboards and she is comfortable on that. She does not enjoy riding pillion on any of the other bikes without the floorboards, even if I have added a topcase with a backrest. I think it is likely being able to slide her feet around and not have her legs sort of locked in position on pegs that makes the difference on long rides, as her knees tend to get sore if she is in one position too long. While on vacation, we have sometimes found a place where she can go horseback on a rented horse while I tour the countryside. In the winter when snow and ice cover the ground, we both miss our own type of riding.

11/15/13 ABSS energy savings add up
ABSS energy savings add up
School system has realized $3 million from program
By Isaac Groves, The Times-News 11/15/13
Reprinted with permission.
MEBANE — The school district has saved more than $3 million on utilities over the past few years in spite of some cold winters, thanks to an energy saving program.
This is the beginning of the fourth year of the Alamance-Burlington School System's energy conservation program.
Randa Meehan, the system's energy specialist or "energy czar," as some have called her, told the Alamance-Burlington Board of Education about the program at its November work session at Hawfields Middle School.
She audits 20 to 25 buildings a week in the system, looking for lights on after hours, running toilets and improperly set thermostats.
"That's what all this is about," Meehan said, "changing behavior."
Meehan started by talking face-to-face with principals and school employees about the goals of the program.
She looks over the bills as soon as they come in to look for odd spikes that could show fixable problems.
She also goes into schools looking for problems, like an overflowing toilet she found in a school the day after Thanksgiving. It ended up costing the school about $2,000, she told the board, but would have been worse if it had gone until Monday.
She is not on her own. The system contracted with Cenergistic Inc., formerly Energy Education. The Dallas-based company works with client organizations, including many school systems around the country, to reduce energy consumption by changing behavior rather than equipment upgrades.
It uses a proprietary method, including data analysis and training, and a software system called Energy CAP to monitor and reduce energy use. That software cost ABSS $12,000 for the first year and $1,200 a year after that, according to the contract.
Cenergistic, according to its fi ve-year contract with ABSS, gets paid 40 percent of the district's savings billed every quarter. The fi rst eight months were free. After the program's fifth year, the company provides services for free.
The school system did not give the Times-News the amounts it has paid Cenergistic as of press time. But 40 percent of $3.1 million in total savings over 40 months, minus 20 percent for the eight months of free service, comes to a little more than $1 million. ABSS did not give Meehan's salary by press time either.
That still leaves close to $2 million in net savings for the school system in a little over three years.
"If nothing else, we are showing we are conservators of our environment," Meehan told the board.
Electricity costs for ABSS have come down in spite of a 24 percent rise in electricity rates, some cold winters and the addition of the Career Technical Education Center and additions built on other schools.
Water and sewer rates have gone up nearly 25 percent, according to ABSS.
The system has cut its electrical use by nearly 26 percent, its natural gas by 16 percent and water and sewer by 13 percent, compared to the 2008-09 year it uses as a base.
Meehan said school administrators are getting the message and getting better at cutting utility costs on their own.
There still seems to be room for improvement.
School-capacity consultants Tom Hughes and Mike Miller included a school-by-school energy consumption analysis with the report they gave the board in September.
It showed local schools are spending less on energy now than five years ago, but there is a lot of variation sometimes even between similar school buildings.
Hughes said that points to behavior, turning off computers and lights, or not.

Hi after around 3 weeks of trying I have not been able to successfully stream the BBC iplayer after 8pm in NZ.
I have now tried 2 different VPN providers the first was overplay.net that provided good suport but the bandwidth when measured between NZ and the UK was nornally around 300K (tested through speedtest website). They seemed unable to find a solution despite trying a number of different config changes. However sppeds were around 1Mb in the morning.
I then moved to BlackVPN. These guys provide better speeds and I can happily sit watching iplayer till about 8pm NZ time, when the speeds really drop and the player starts buffering every 5 or so seconds - making it unwatchable.
By testing my Vodafone broadband bandwidth on speedtest I can see that even after 8pm my bandwith is around 3Mbits per second - which should be ample. However going through blackvpn it drops to 0.22Mb/sec
Now it has been suggested that I go to a torrent - there is one that has a number of uk shows, the name escapes me at present. Anyway does anyone have a working VPN connection to stream the iplayer in the NZ evening.
Many thanks

Antiquity buffs will spot all three Greek architectural orders on this former plantation home and present-day historic house museum that features a combination of fluted Doric columns, spiral-scroll-topped Ionic columns, and Corinthian pilasters that project from the walls. The now-famous home was built over the 20 years leading up to the start of the Civil War, largely by enslaved workers about whom little is known. The house continued to serve as a private residence through the middle of the last century, when it was purchased by the state of Alabama and turned into a house museum in 1975.

A divided federal appeals court handed the Obama administration a significant victory on Friday when it reversed a judge's ruling that sought to block government funding of human embryonic stem cell research.
The action by the appeals court lifts a cloud that has hovered over a segment of the medical research community since August when a federal judge in Washington ruled that President Obama's expansion of stem cell research had violated a congressional ban on using taxpayer money for research in which a human embryo is destroyed.
"Today's ruling is a victory for our scientists and patients around the world who stand to benefit from the groundbreaking medical research they're pursuing," said White House spokesman Nick Papas.
Human embryonic stem cell research is a sensitive subject that has divided US public opinion. Supporters say it may yield major medical breakthroughs, while opponents view it as a version of abortion and a slippery slope to human cloning.
At issue before the appeals court was whether US District Judge Royce Lamberth was correct in August when he ordered the government to stop funding embryonic stem cell research projects. His ruling had been stayed pending appeal, allowing research projects to continue.
On Friday, the appeals court voted 2 to 1 to vacate his preliminary injunction.
'Victory for patients'
"We are thrilled," said Lisa Hughes, president of the Coalition for the Advancement of Medical Research in Washington, D.C., a bipartisan organization that supports stem cell research.
"This is a victory for patients all across America," she said in a statement. "This is also great news for the scientific community, so that they may continue to apply for grants and know their research will be able to move forward."
"The opinion is significant because the contrary result – an order freezing use of federal funds on research on existing stem cell lines – could have jeopardized much of the incredibly important research underway," said Abbe Gluck, a professor at Columbia Law School.
At issue was whether the Obama administration and the National Institutes of Health were complying with the 1996 congressional ban.
Each administration dating to President Clinton has grappled with the ethical, legal, and public policy challenges of human embryonic stem cell research, as has Congress.
At the center of the debate over government funding of embryonic stem cell science is the issue of the potential destruction of human embryos. The process of developing new cells for research can lead to the destruction of the embryo. Advocates of the research, however, say the stem cells are harvested from embryos that are created through in vitro fertilization and are slated for destruction after not being implanted. Researchers say embryonic stem cells can also be harvested from placental cord blood.
There are no legal restrictions banning the destruction of embryos in privately-funded stem cell research. But researchers complain that there are few sources of private funding.
Bush allowed limited research
Each president has approached the issue differently.
President Bush embraced a restrictive policy, permitting federal funding only for research that used 21 existing lines of cells that had been developed from embryos that had earlier been destroyed. Bush effectively drew a line, saying federal funds would not support any research that would make use of new lines of cells from embryos destroyed after his 2001 order.
In March 2009, President Obama fulfilled a campaign promise when he announced that his administration would no longer enforce the Bush restriction. Obama issued an executive order permitting – for the first time – government funding for research involving new lines of cells developed from embryos destroyed since 2001.
The move greatly expanded research opportunities. But the question was whether it complied with Congress's 1996 ban on the use of federal funds for research in which a human embryo is destroyed.
Judge Lamberth concluded that the administration was violating the ban and ordered the funding to stop. The appeals court disagreed, and vacated his ruling.
The majority judges said Congress's 1996 stem cell research mandate was ambiguous and did not decisively support either side in the litigation.
"That fact is the statute is not worded precisely enough to resolve the present definitional contest conclusively for one side or the other," wrote Judge Douglas Ginsburg in an opinion joined by Judge Thomas Griffith.
'Linguistic jujitsu'
The court added that Congress had continued to reauthorize its ban each year with full knowledge that embryonic stem cell research has been receiving federal funding for the past decade.
In a dissent, Judge Karen Henderson accused the majority of committing "linguistic jujitsu" to parse the 1996 statute in way that rendered it ambiguous.
"The majority opinion has taken a straightforward case of statutory construction and produced a result that would make Rube Goldberg tip his hat," she wrote.
Judge Henderson said the intent of the 1996 Congress was to prohibit all research that either results in or relies upon the destruction of a human embryo.
The majority judges disagreed. They said it was possible that Congress intended only to bar federal funding for specific research projects that will cause the future destruction of a human embryo, but not bar funding for research using existing cell lines derived from outside sources.
The 1996 statute, known as the Dickey-Wicker Amendment, prohibits the NIH from funding: "(1) the creation of a human embryo or embryos for research purposes; or (2) research in which a human embryo or embryos are destroyed, discarded, or knowingly subjected to risk of injury or death greater than that allowed for research on fetuses in utero."
Full trial in federal court
Although the injunction is lifted, the underlying challenge to existing stem cell policies will now move forward toward a full trial in federal court.
A key issue in the case is how broadly to define the word "research" in the statute. The Obama administration and the NIH embrace a narrow reading of the term, suggesting it means a particular research project rather than a general field of inquiry.
The two researchers who filed the lawsuit challenging the president's expanded stem cell research policy argue that "research" includes not only work related to the resulting stem cell lines, but also the initial creation of those lines, which would have resulted in the destruction of a human embryo.
