"Chains" (Sleazy Mcqueen & Carlitos Corcho (Chang) edit)
Here's an edit me & Sleazy Mcqueen did actually like 2 years ago, recently I put it up on Soundcloud for free downloads! It's been some pretty good responses and loads of DLs, and I recommend you check it out and play it out if you have not yet. It's from the classic "Chains" song from Bionic Boogie, which featured a young Luther Vandross on the original album. Again much props to Sleazy for working on this with me, and I highly recommend you check out his various edits available on vinyl & digital!
All we ask is if you like to chart it, and if you got a blog to let your readers know about it!
If you do blog it leave a comment with the link, thanks!
"A dancefloor classic! The album's the second by Gregg Diamond's Bionic Boogie, and head and shoulders above the rest – a sublime blend of soul and club that's hardly been matched again! Diamond manages to make things groove, but never loses sight of the soulful styles that make the record so great – and works here with key contributions from a young Luther Vandross, who gives the album some of the same strong vocal arrangements he brought to his own first two albums on Atlantic! Luther sings lead on the album's legendary track "Hot Butterfly", and works in a group with Cissy Houston on other tracks – sweetly soaring with vocals that go far beyond most disco efforts of the time. Simply sublime, and with classics that include "Hot Butterfly", "Paradise", "Cream (Always Rises To The Top)", "Chains", and "When The Sh*t Hits The Fan (Rocket Pocket)". Includes 4 bonus cuts too – "Hot Butterfly (Jim Burgess disco rmx)", "Chains (Gregg Diamond spectacular rmx)", "Fess Up To The Boogie (Gregg Diamond disco rmx)", and "Chains (Jim Burgess disco rmx)".
E. 909 St. Issue #1
Some of you may remember this old zine I produced back in the early 90s in Orlando, Fl. & Gainesville, Fl. It was a zine mainly on the topic of deep house music during that era when Raves were on the rise. During that time in Central Florida breaks were the popular sound at many Raves, and undergrounds. I was mainly into house music in that time, but I would also mix it up with breaks here & there w/acid house. I felt a need back then to get the word out on this sound that was being over looked down South. Many labels come to mind when looking back on those times like Emotive, Murk, Nervous, Strictly Rhythm, Nu Groove, Polar, Cardiac, Cajual, Eightball, Vibe, Miami Soul, Big Beat, Wheel, Fader, Citi, 111 East, Minimal, Jo-Jo, Shelter, Su-bur-ban, One, Pow Wow, Mirage, AC&S, UMM, Maxi.. It was a time when the sound was real fresh here in the Central Florida area, and even down south in Miami. Much of the printing in the beginning I did in Orlando, Fl. and Miami, Fl. since I was going back and forth around that time. If you notice in the first issue there are a lot of biblical quotes in there, most of that was a result of my own spiritual journey I was going through at that time. To me back then there was this connection in soulful house with the holy spirit that some claim they get by going to Orthodox Church. To me the Church was the people on the dancefloor grooving to that universal house music sound. The spirit is always present when the people are in unison in some sort of telelpathic communion, which makes the community. Today (2012) it's a lil rare to see that happen sice the quality of music being played in many clubs has degraded to more of a marketing tool to sell more VIP Tables & tickets. Gone are the days when huge groups of people came with open minds & hearts to hear the music not so much the Stellar Line Up. In that era locals got just as big, and most often an even bigger support at gatherings. It's very common these days to see venues go through residents like dirty underwear, meaning they could not keep up with the demand of table service.
So as I look back and see the amount of time I put into this magazine, its like this era was a dream. Only the ones that lived it will know, and see how far we have come to basically fall short of our expectaions of a PLUR Society. PLUR meaning Peace, Love, Unity, and Respect, was all this futile I ask myse;f at times? Where are we today as I look back, more wars, more drama, very lil respect for the craft & music in the nightlife, and a retreat back into smaller spaces that barely can keep business. What happened? Many will say well Joe its not so bad, but what I am talking about is the amount of drama amongst many of my own friends, and peers that were present in that Golden Era of Rave. Was it the amount of drugs that eventually tweeked everyone out into some sort of Speed Monster? Perhaps it was all that money made at the big events that we all ended up partying away anyways. This all leading to over doses and drama that caught the eyes of Big Brother here in the USA. In pondering all of these scenarios I see that this is nothing than another repeat cycle of Human Interaction on the planet devoid of any mythological rite of passage. These kind of counter-sub-cultures tend to rise when a society has totally dis-connected itself from the Earth and its understanding of the natural cosmic cycles that happen each moment. The outcasts, orphans, mutants, undesirables, free thinkers, non conformists, heretics join together in unison to express this insanity that the status quo cannot tolerate. It is these outcasts that are considered the weak link cause they are the ones expressing the insanity of the Family Tree. They can see where others dare not look, in this seeing is much pain hence the term "self medication" that is popular in these circles of poets & carnies. Welcome to the Carnival it only gets more weird from here on!

Roman Stange + Craig Kuna - You
Get ready to get housed up, with this deep raw track from Roman Strange & Craig Kuna! The key stabs bring out that feeling as the gurning bassline gets the head a tweeking! And it goes a lil something like this..
Handmade Recordings' next release "You'll House Me?" is the latest production from the prolific San Francisco duo of Roman Stange andCraig Kuna. Together Stange and Kuna have worked on remixes for releases on Blipswitch Digital and Claude Von Stroke's Mothership imprint, while Stange has produced material on his own for the Auralism label and Kuna regularly collaborates with renowned bay area techno party [KONTROL]. On "You'll House Me?" Stange and Kuna reach back to their influences while keeping their feet firmly planted within today's house music sound. The track opens with tough a four-on-the-floor kick as well as reversed strings and vocals. This develops into a deep, bassy monster with snares and toms that roll and swing, accompanied by metallic chords. Fragmented samples from the acappellas to Rhythm Controll's "My House" and The NYC Peech Boys' "Life Is Something Special" wheel around in the mix creating a swirling narrative on house music's former glories as well as dance floor triumphs yet to come. Next, a remix of "You'll House Me?" is provided by German producer Franklin De Costa (Resolute / Curle) who takes the rolling drums and places a low-slung, understated bass line under them. He adds delayed chords that are woven with the vocal sample, layering the concoction over the bass and drum spine. This all propels the remix towards a gorgeous mid-track breakdown that should lift the dance floor to another level in the early AM. Both cuts' seamless mix of retro and modern house music sounds should give "You'll House Me?" a prime place in the virtual crate for quite a while … dig in.

The culinary art knows no barrier, whatsoever. It is limited only by ones imagination. You can take an Indian variant of rice and top it with an Oriental sauce, you can take a classic Italian ingredient like macaroni and cook it in Indian style. Well, what stops you! This fusion delicacy features perfectly cooked macaroni, perked up with a range of delicious veggies, a dash of tomato ketchup and tongue-tickling desi spice mixes like garam masala and pav bhaji masala. A garnish of grated cheese gives the Indian-Style Macaroni a fabulous finishing touch. The total effect is absolutely awesome, and gives you the best of both worlds.

Your provocative YIMBY article failed to address two core issues in the raging debate over housing in Santa Cruz. 1) YIMBY for who? There is a vast difference to say "yes" to teachers and police women who live here and serve this community and cannot afford to stay rather than "yes" to people who work in San Jose but who choose to live in Santa Cruz because it is more affordable. 2) YIMBY at what cost? Bagging the 2030 general plan? When the planning department puts forward a plan that prioritizes inclusionary affordable housing for the community rather than $4,000/month rental towering townhouses for commuters, a lot more of us may be willing to compromise the general plan and say "yes" in my back yard too.
— Jessica Parr, Santa Cruz

Welcome! This is mainly a "local" forum for American Civil War cavalry reenactors in the Pacific Northwest. It will have dates of events and trainings as well as any items of interest.
Howdy folks, I used to belong to the 9th Virginia & the 1st U.S. Cav back in the day (1989-1993). I'm glad to see how much the club has grown.
Anyway, I'm selling a U.S. Civil War Cavalry shell jacket with yellow piping. Size 46R, sleeve 32", has lining. Never used in "battle," as my wife made me give it up before I made the total switch from the 9th Virginia Cav. CSA to the 1st U.S. Cav. Darn it! I've only worn it to a few halloween parties...where I looked awesome, of course.
Also have blue pants with yellow stripes (36" waist, 32" length), CSA cartridge belt, U.S Kepi (kind of beat up) plus other stuff.

What is the correct Healthy weight for your body? Reaching your Ideal weight is frequently an after effect of rolling out little improvements to your everyday propensities. Be that as it may, how would you make sense of the amount should weigh?
Healthy weight-goals People can look wonderful in an assortment of shapes and sizes; in any case, as far as inflammation, it can frequently be more beneficial for individuals to have a littler midsection measure than they as of now have.
In the event that you will probably get to be leaner than you are at this moment, it can be useful to first comprehend from where – precisely – you're beginning.
Additionally vital is to comprehend where you need to wind up – by figuring out what the Healthy weight for your body really is.
"What Is a Healthy Weight for Me?"
By knowing how much fat is on your body today, you'll then have the capacity to figure out what weight reduction systems are working for you and which are not moving the needle. Knowing this will better help you in Reaching a healthy weight.
The Body Mass Index or BMI is a system used to quantify your rate of muscle to fat ratio ratios, and to figure out whether you are at a Healthy weight – using your stature, weight, age and sexual orientation.
The consequences of the file will let you know, for the most part, if you have a Healthy muscle to fat ratio and what your Ideal proportion of fat-to-muscle likely is.
Despite the fact that different techniques are more exact for realizing what your present rate of muscle to fat quotients is, however the body mass record equation can be an advantageous path just to get a brisk, general thought.
Remember that every human is distinctive, and your Ideal weight is whatever proportion of fat-to-muscle helps your own body perform interestingly well.
As such, your Healthy weight may be altogether different than somebody else's.
"How Much Fat Do I Need to Lose?"
There are a lot of free BMI mini-computers on the web that will disclose to you your surmised Body Mass Index, yet you can even crunch the numbers yourself:
BMI = Weight-in-pounds/(Height-in-inches x Height-in-inches) x 703
You can then contrast your BMI number with the rundown beneath:
- 18.4 or lower: Underweight
- 18.5 to 24.9: Normal weight
- 25 to 29.9: Overweight
- 30 or higher: Obese
… when my neighbourhood exercise center was putting forth a free Body Mass Index test I seized the opportunity to get tried"
Obviously, our bodies are all unique genetically, and this figuring doesn't consider the amount of your body is real fat and not muscle (and it is along these lines not generally reasonable for competitors).
It's imperative to watch out for one's muscle to fat ratio ratios. The mirror swindles! A significant number of us believe we're more slender than we truly are, while others see fat where there is none.
Extreme stomach fat can be an indication of toxicity, inflammation, and potential future health challenges, so it's great to know where you truly remain as far as your fat-to-muscle proportion.
Attempting to decide the correct number of pounds that you ought to weigh is precarious. Standard restroom scales measure your muscle tissue and in addition your fat tissue – despite the fact that a pound of muscle consumes up less room than a pound of fat (and looks a mess better).
In spite of the fact that many individuals use the BMI as a pointer (look at your Body Mass Index with a free online fat adding machine or contact your rec center to check whether they offer this administration), the BMI technique is regularly not useful for individuals of extraordinary statures or individuals who quality prepare at the rec center – in light of the fact that it doesn't represent muscle tissue or bone mass.
How to Figure Out Your Ideal Weight
The most perfectly awesome approach to decide your Ideal weight is, strangely, not to concentrate on pounds at everything except rather your body's rate of fat:
much of the time, it's most advantageous for men to have muscle to fat quotients in the between of 6% and 17%
for ladies, it's typically best to have muscle to fat quotients in the between of 14% and 24%
More imperative than which strategy you use to decide your level of muscle to fat ratio ratios, is that you stay with a similar estimation technique.
For instance, in the event that one technique uncovers that you are at 28% muscle to fat quotients, well, perhaps you are truly 27% or possibly 29%, yet what will likely be exact is the amount you've picked up or lost. In the event that it says you've lost 6% or picked up 6%, that number will most likely be precise in case you're using a similar estimation strategy.
Beforehand, I shared how there is a genuinely straightforward recipe for making sense of how to lose a pound.
what's more, I've likewise clarified how get ready inside for change can help to effectively roll out outside improvements to our appearance, including helping us to lose fat and get into shape
I've likewise already uncovered that specific menu things, for example, naturally made green smoothies, can startle in their capacity to diminish midsection fat particularly.
There are two apparatuses that you'll have to help you track your fat misfortune. One expenses about $50, alternate expenses about $1.
Get a Bathroom Scale with a BIA Feature
In the days of yore, we could just use calipers – or uncommon scales that measured us in water – to decide our actual rate of muscle to fat quotients.
Luckily, today we have different alternatives! Numerous washroom scales that you can purchase today at your home-frill store incorporate a BIA include (Bioelectric Impedance Analysis) that uncovers your present level of fat. Your hydration levels may make a wiggle room in the figure, however in the event that you measure in the meantime of day, (for example, when you first get up in the morning), that can limit the officially little danger of mistake.
Get a Measuring Tape
You'll have to get the material or delicate plastic sort of measuring tape that tailors use (not the metal ones that jacks of all trades use!) to gauge your waistline. The measuring tape won't reveal to you your rate of muscle to fat ratio ratios, however it will disclose to you what number of inches you've picked up or lost in your midsection, and in some ways this can be significantly more critical.
When I measure my abdomen region, I measure in two spots:
- the skinniest part of my abdomen, ideal underneath my base rib, when I suck my stomach in as hard as possible
- the vastest part of my midsection — I run the tape over the focal point of my bellybutton and after that around the most stretched out some portion of the "cushy layers"
Record both numbers each time you measure and you will have an exact thought of regardless of whether you're picking up or losing fat in your waistline. Examine uncovers that a slimmer waistline implies a more extended life, so this is an imperative zone to track carefully.
You'll maybe believe I'm joking, however here and there what's additionally useful is to keep one sets of your most loved thin pants in your storage room. When you pull those pants on, how well those pants fit – or don't – will give you a quick sign of your present fat rate that is abnormally more precise than what the most costly lab hardware would let you know!
Do Smoothies Make You Fat?
The same number of my perusers know, I had noteworthy achievement for all time losing muscle to fat ratio ratios by added naturally made green smoothies and some supplement to my everyday diet.
Regardless of whether smoothies make you more slender or fatter, relies on upon the smoothie.
A crisply made green smoothie can help you achieve your ideal weight.
Then again, when a few people say "smoothie" what they truly mean is some low-quality, excessively sweetened powder from a would they be able to got at the market, blended with drain and a banana. Those sort of smoothies can make you fat. Be that as it may, a naturally made green smoothie will help you get leaner, more grounded, and more beneficial.
Do Quantity or the Quality Matter More in Your Calories?
There are such a large number of varying suppositions on whether the quantity of calories or the nature of calories is more vital for losing fat and accomplishing a Healthy weight.
Truly, basically: both.
Individuals who still trust that exclusive the quantity of calories matter don't comprehend about inflammation.
A hefty portion of the current world's most basic ailments are connected to unending inflammation. Yes, abundance calories can change over to fat, however what is likewise genuine is that the more advantageous you are, the better and all the more effectively your digestion system works.
To keep your body's different systems running ideally you have to remain out of their way and let them carry out their occupation. An eating regimen brimming with incendiary nourishments can hinder your systems' ideal working:
It's a smart thought to, intermittently, investigate our every day propensities: what are we eating and drinking?
We think we know what sustenances we're expending every day, except do we truly?
By being presented to various sustenance thoughts, we are motivated to see our everyday slims down recently. Many individuals observe newly made green smoothies to be calming and supportive in accomplishing a healthy weight.
Believe It or Not, Some People Need to Gain Weight
Not everybody needs to smolder abundant measures of fat tissue. Truth be told, a few people need to include weight – some of the time they could use somewhat more muscle to fat quotients however typically what they most need is an expansion in bulk. In case you're one of these people, then it appears to be essential to impart to you that there are two astounding ways I am aware of to put on weight:
- nuts and seeds
- quality preparing
Nuts and seeds are high in calories – the great sort of calories. They are supplement thick and stuffed with protein. My most loved are the grown, crude seeds –, for example, pumpkin seeds.
In spite of the fact that I'm an immense devotee of Pilates and yoga, in case you're needing to put on weight than you have to hit the reccenter and benefit some quality preparing works out. It will include genuinely a muscle tissue onto your casing and help you to feel – and look – extraordinary.
Incidentally, in the event that you happen to be a smoker, and you need to put on weight, then quit smoking and you will completely add on a couple pounds (also, you'll carry on with a more drawn out and more joyful life). In the event that you happen to have therapeutic protection, you may have the capacity to examine yourself into an all-paid 8-day suspension program, and leave it a refreshed, fit and solid non-smoker! How cool is that!?
Getting Your Own Body Mass Index Tested
We sent Sean Cameron out into the field, to perceive what it resembled to get one's Body Mass Index (BMI) tried. Here is the thing that he detailed:
"To get a more exact outcome you can take a Body Mass Index test using a machine. At the point when my neighborhood exercise center was putting forth a free Body Mass Index test I seized the opportunity to get tried to check whether my present weight was a healthy weight.
"My very own wellbeing venture began when I wedded my veggie lover spouse a year ago. Not stocking meat and dairy in the refrigerator implied 18 pounds have dropped-off of me!
"I took a gander at my Body Mass Index before and being a high-ordinary so the time had come to perceive how much my body has changed."
"The inviting Gym Instructor credited my subtle elements into a Body Mass Index screen (as you would in the BMI condition). I then held the machine's two metal handles so it could compute my muscle to fat quotients. It does this by sending an electric ebb and flow through your body tissues and measures the imperviousness to compute your aggregate body water, and afterward decides your without fat body mass. It additionally discloses to you what your healthy weight is.
BMI and perfect weight
"if the words 'electric current' had you stressed, don't stress – I didn't feel a thing."
"You can undoubtedly get one of these machines on the web however it's imperative to use it effectively for a genuinely exact outcome. Fortunately I had a specialist to guide me or I'd have quite recently held it like a Mario Kart controller."
"My outcome was 16.3 percent which is typical for my sex and age (11% to 21%). This implied I had a Body Mass Index of 21.6. which my educator depicted as a solid weight – Naturally, I surged home to tell the spouse."
Essentially, your Body Mass Index is a basic route for you to tell if you are underweight, typical or overweight.
It's likewise an approach to figure out what transforms you may need to make – or what advance you are making – on your adventure towards a healthy weight.

Real Men Drink Beer (or does beer make men real?)
The Effect of Alcohol Consumption on the Urinary Testosterone/Epitestosterone Ratio
By Dr Simon Davis B.Sc., Ph.D.
Intoxicating beverages contain a number of different forms of alcohol, the major constituent of which is ethanol. When a beverage is consumed the ethanol content passes through the stomach wall and digestive tract into the blood stream. Once the ethanol enters circulation it begins to alter the bodies' biochemistry. One such reaction is to differentially increase the rates of testosterone (T) and
epitestosterone (E) metabolism. The overall effect of this reaction is
to increase the ratio of T to E excreted in the urine.
It has been reported that ethanol consumption can increase urinary T/E ratios by 30% - 277% in healthy individuals. Observed changes in plasma T/E ratios can occur with the consumption of less than 2 pints of lager. The ingestion of ethanol by an individual will increase the T/E ratio observed in a urine sample.
It follows that if the effect of ethanol on T/E ratios is calculated relative to urinary E concentrations, it can be seen that increases in the ratio are exponential as E concentrations decrease. Individuals with naturally low E concentrations could, therefore, experience increases in T/E ratios of 940% greater than increases experienced in an individual with normal E concentrations. Calculations estimate that in individuals with low urinary E concentration, ratios of 17 to 1 or higher could have resulted from ethanol consumption without any administration of exogenous T.
The current T/E ratio test as performed by Kings College Laboratory and approved by the UK Sports, the IWF and IOC cannot discriminate between a 13 to 1 T/E ratio resulting from ethanol ingestion or a 13 to 1 ratio resulting from endogenous T administration.
Editor's Note: There also appears to be a question of the T/E ratio test validity.
New Toyz -- part two
Because I'm such a stud, I decided I wanted to build up a single-speed mtn bike. Actually, I just think there's something pure and simple about SS. So, in May, after thinking about it for a year or so, I finally ordered a Sycip. And Tuesday I got to pick it up. Happy birthday to me! It's pink and sparkly -- not sure about the blue logos, but if I accent it right with some pretty little blue bits here & there it will be schweet!
Now, I have to sell three or four bikes before I let myself build this one up, so I guess that's motivation to start selling.
Anyone need a 56cm cyclocross frame (I've got two), track bike (complete) or titanium road frame?
Say it isn't so.....
New Toyz -- part one
In April I bought a new digital camera. This is my third digital in the last decade (I guess that's what happens when you take a nice camera on the bike with you all the time). The first was a fugi and it was HUGE. The second was a Canon Elf -- loved it! This one is a Canon Powershot -- almost the same as the Elf but smaller and thinner and lighter with a big huge display screen. I had hoped I could use the same batteries and media cards with the new camera, but Canon is smart and obsoleted the old stuff for newer and smaller. Oh well.
Sometimes it takes me a long time to learn how to do something new. So, since April I've been snapping pix like crazy and they're all still sitting on my camera. Last night I decided to finally plug in the new card reader -- doh! What took me so long? So, here's the first pic I took on my new camera in April (over three months ago).
This is Julie, the love of my life!

Kitsch Therapy
I hate to shop. I always have. But, my clothes are all too big and I've got some social "stuff" on my calendar, so I had to go shopping. The bike shop was once again hot this afternoon, so I rode over to Burlingame Avenue to see what I could see.
It's amazing how fashion trends come and go and come around yet again. What's with all the maternity-style tops with princess cut bodices? I hated them in the 70s and I don't find them particularly flattering now (although I bought two). And sun dresses? And tube tops? My oh my.
I've never explored some of the shops on Burlingame Avenue and was amazed at all the Euro-trash boutiques with $250 tops and $400 skirts. Excuse me? For $250 I can get something totally sweet for one of my bikes.
As I was heading home, I rode by a new shop called Therapy. My boss at the bike shop owns the building. They've been there almost a year, and Leslie said I should stop in some day but I never did. Wow! I actually started laughing aloud for a while. It was like walking into my closet 25 years ago. Totally retro 60s and 70s clothing (and some cool non-clothing stuff too). Knit dresses, tube tops, handkerchief halter tops, moire skirts, peasant blouses, wrap tops, ruffles, eyelets, embroidary, and crochet, you name it! It was like being in Goodwill but all the clothing was new. The funny thing was that the teenagers who were shopping there probably didn't realize that their mothers used to wear clothes like that (and if they did they probably wouldn't shop there). Unfortunately, the clothing sizes didn't seem to work for me, but I'll definitely try again sometime soon. Oh, and the prices were lower than anything on the Avenue -- very reasonable.
BTW, shopping by bike wasn't too bad. I'm a bit disappointed that Burlingame doesn't have any bike racks on Burlingame Avenue. Maybe I need to contact Maureen (Velo Girl and Burlingame City Planner). I was able to bring my bike into some of the larger shops and locked it to meters with flag pole mounts at others.

Weird Science
Is there a doc in the house?
Yesterday after LHRR, I weighed half a pound less than my morning weigh-in. Seemed logical since I was a bit dehydrated. I actually expected to be down a bit more.
This morning, I'm mysteriously up 3.5 pounds (from my morning weight yesterday, so a net gain of 4 pounds).
This afternoon, I'm now up 5.5 pounds (from my morning weight yesterday -- net gain of 6 pounds).
I'm almost afraid to step on the scale again! I assume this is some form of electrolyte imbalance but I have no idea exactly what's going on.
Oh, and to make everything just a little more interesting, my temp is running just over 100.
Can someone explain this to me? What's out of balance? Too much electrolyte? Not enough? Or is it simply the Coldstone we had after LHRR?

112 Degrees
That about says it all. Women were melting like an ice cream cone in a two-year old's hand. I'd estimate that only about 1/4 of the women who started the race finished. Packs were almost non-existent. Stragglers just pulled out. Ambulances were called. I'm still burning up hours later, my HR is crazy-high and my eyes are bloodshot. I didn't pee for over eight hours even though I've been drinking like crazy since 5:00am. Maybe they need to move this race to March?
On a positive note, my power numbers were excellent on the first lap. I recorded my high one-minute and five-minute power. So, I guess my legs are recovered and I've gained some strength.
Elf, I think you're great and it was nice to hang with you (even in your catatonic state). I hope you cool down and have a kick-butt race tomorrow at Albany.

Acclimatization Training
How to prepare for hot races? Work in a bike shop, in the second floor loft, where the temperature is at least 40 degrees warmer than on the sales floor, with a boss who makes you feel guilty for turning on the AC.
Think I'm ready? Guess we'll find out tomorrow.

Close Encounters of a Wile Kind
Arastradero -- 5:00pm. Headed out on the fire road climb to test the legs and do a bit of a warm-up before the group ride. Thinking about the tour, see a turkey, see a bunny, see a what-the-hell-is-that? Yup! Right in front of me, sauntering toward me on the fire road is a coyote. Not that I've ever seen one before, but I knew it wasn't a mtn lion so I figured it was a coyote (it was).
So, I stop and look at her. And she stops to stare at me. I start thinking about what I should do. Turn around? No, I'm just starting my warm-up. Keep riding? No, what if she attacks me. I don't think coyotes are dangerous but I'm not sure. So, I make some noise with my bike hoping she'll run off.
She's kinda scrawny and sickly looking. But she's got a big bushy tail and a long powerful jaw. She starts approaching me again and as we're now only about 10 feet apart, I decide maybe I should turn around. And then she heads up the hill off the fire road. I ride on, watching her as I go. She squats and pees (and since I know girl dogs squat to pee, I assume she's a girl).
Back at the trailhead, I read the bulletin board -- apparently coyotes are more dangerous than I'd thought. One of the girls tell me they're like Velociraptors -- one of them will distract you while the rest of the pack circles in for the kill.
Oh, dead banana slugs look like over-ripe bananas (just in case you were curious). Do you think banana slugs were named for bananas or were bananas named for banana slugs?
"I came here to win the race and I'm not done fightin' yet." -- Floyd Landis after killin' it on stage 17

An American Class Act
TdF Spoilers
I watch the tour in the evenings -- no desire to get up at o'dark thirty if I don't have to. That means I typically have to avoid hearing about it all day long until I get home to watch it. I've been pretty successful so far this year.
So, yesterday, I successfully avoid blogs, emails, websites, OLN at the bike shop, conversations at the bike shop, and eight chatty women at training last night. LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-I can't hear you!!!!
I get home, cozy up with the pupster to watch OLN........and I fall dead asleep with about 70k to go.

Two Months from Today......
......the season opener cyclocross race in Northern California!!! I'm all aquiver with anticipation. The real racing starts soon!
Any word on the DFL races?
Why Campy Rules
I converted my road bikes to Campy a few years ago and never looked back. I'm even switching to Campy on my cross bike this season. Love it! Fits my hands, shifts like butter, and it just looks cool. And I can drop the stack!!! But one of the best things about Campy is that the components can be repaired (unlike Shimano where you just have to replace stuff).
I've got Campy Record on my Trek. 15 months old, 4,100 miles, and no winter riding at all. In the past month, my rear shifting has been a bit touchy. My mechanic said the return spring on my right shifter probably needed to be replaced. We were hoping to make it until August (when I put the road bike into storage for winter and just ride my cyclocross bike).
Well, that plan didn't work. Riding in Livermore yesterday, my right shifter decided it was time. But, the cool thing is that now it's a friction shifter (not an index shifter). I could live with that if I had to, but luckily I've got another record gruppo on a bike I'm selling, so I just swapped it out.
Now, a shifter should last more than 4,000 miles, shouldn't it? Yup! But, Campy's got a three-year warranty! Yippee -- new shifter and no charge. Gotta love that!
Thursday, July 13, 2006
Argh! I pre-rode the XC course at Infineon today. It's essentially the same course as last year. I remember not liking the course last year, but since it was my very first mountain bike race ever, I didn't have anything to compare it to.
Well, I still hate it!
What a demoralizing experience. I felt like a poser -- like I didn't know how to ride a mtn bike and I didn't have the legs to climb half the course. I guess it didn't help that I'm still not recovered from the Death Ride and still struggling with dehydration.
Did I mention that I hate myself right now?
As I was riding, I decided I wouldn't race on Saturday. Of course, as I drove home and had dinner, I'm kinda changing my mind. It doesn't make sense to race if my legs are dead though.
Highlight of the day: Barry Wicks is riding behind me on the single track and says something like "I think I'll swing by on your right if that's okay." If that's okay? What a nice, polite guy. Of course, I recognized his unique voice behind me immediately. The pros are usually pretty cool, it's the freds that are total jerks. Not five minutes later, I'm climbing the fire road from hell and some old, fat hairy-legged dude who smells like cheap cologne rides up to me and makes some comment about speed. I honestly can't tell if he's hitting on me or insulting me. He says he's a "rookie" -- this will be his 3rd race. I ask him if he's trying to make friends or enemies (since it felt like he was insulting me).
So, near the end of the course, the local ABC affiliate is set up with a camera crew. The XC and Super-D courses merge, which means only one thing: Y-I-K-E-S!!! Apparently the XC course was supposed to go down the fire road and some yahoo thought it would be more fun to descend the Super-D course, with two steep drops and a bunch of bermy off-camber stuff. I stand at the top, knowing I feel crappy and totally without confidence, hoping some folks will go by so I can watch them. A group of guys from WTB are hanging out too, one of them with a helmet cam. Then all the lovely pro Bellas go by. And then one of the guys who works at the bike shop with me. Anyways, at this point I've decided there's no way I'm riding that drop with all these folks around so I turn back, head around the tape and start down the fire road. About half-way down there's one more Bella (the new one from Oklahoma, soon to be Idaho, she said, I can't remember her name). She askes me if this is a joke (riding the Super-D course). We chat, she gives me a little pep talk and off we go. Thank you, Bella, whoever you are!
Anyways, I feel a little better getting this out of my system. Still not sure I'll race on Saturday. Tomorrow is a clinic with Marla and Allison so I'll get to check it all out again and maybe get a little mojo from the big girls.
Please, God, let me have my legs back!!!

Insomnia -- night 2
Sheesh! I hate when I go through phases like this. And this isn't the week for it -- I'm too darn busy.
Anyways, after working at the shop until almost midnight, I'm wired as all get-out, so I cruise the web for a while and then head to bed. I lay in bed for a good hour and still can't sleep, so decide to see if I can luck out with another snoozer on CMT.
Lo and behold, Hulk Hogan has his own television series -- Hogan Knows Best. The premise of the show is that Terry (Hulk) Hogan and his platinum blonde wife are just like other suburban Floridians with two teen-age kids (daughter aspires to be a pop singer; son a race-car driver). Terry is trying to find an alternative career to wrestling and falls into the endorsement game (which he thinks is gonna be a winner).
ps -- I'm not a country music fan. I just popped onto CMT because it's the channel next to OLN and there's no late-night tour coverage.
Monday, July 10, 2006
How can I have insomnia when I rode my bike 8 hours on Saturday! I watched the tour last night on OLN and then flipped through the channels landing on CMT for a two-hour documentary on the selection process for the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders. Fascinating stuff, I kid you not. I now feel my life is complete.
I know, you were expecting a Death Ride Report and all I give you is fluff. Here's the Reader's Digest version. Altitude sickness along with hyper-thyroid reactions killed my body on Saturday. I succeeded in completing three and a half passes -- almost 90 miles with about 12,000 feet of climbing in just under 8 hours. I'm not disappointed. Full report at 11:00.

GULP....What was I thinking?
Did I really think this would fit into my "if it sounds fun, do it" plan for this season?
Now the big question is 15 pound Trek with 34-29 or 20-something pound Rivendell with 22-34. If I'd actually been riding my Riv besides commuting to the bike shop it would be a no brainer. Maybe I'll just take them both.

Dog Bless Amerika!
It doesn't get much better than this. Today was one of those perfect days, doing the thing you love most, surrounded by friends. No stress, no pressure, just a good old-fashioned fun day. Beautiful scenery, delightful weather, and ice cream made it all the better.
Sometimes you need to stop training and just ride. And since today is a holiday, it was the perfect reason to do that. I gathered a random collection of my cycling friends from different areas of my life together for an all-day road ride. It was so fun watching new friendships develop among folks who I care about. We had an awesome ride, lunched in a quaint town, stopped for ice cream, and got some good solid miles in the legs. Ahhhhh.....nothing better in my mind.
Although not a political or particularly patriotic person by nature, I couldn't help but ponder how lucky we are in this country. We saw so many cyclists enjoying the day. We have the opportunity to do just about anything we want to do. We live in a country that embraces diversity (most of the time). We have freedom to make choices that affect our lifestyle. And we have the chance to succeed and thrive.
Dog bless Amerika!

Flandria Who?
Okay, I have fun figuring out who everyone is on their blogs. But I haven't been able to peg Flandria yet.
Here's what I do know:
- She's a girl.
- She's also a Velo Bella (Sabine lists her on the member blog list).
- She apparently rode CCCX yesterday (because she noticed the mouse). Julie? Nope. Mary? Nope. Daphne? Don't really know her. Ah, ha! It's Angela, isn't it!!! Angela, is it you?
BTW, I just remembered that section in the first lap of the race when you kept turning around looking for me and encouraging me to go for it. You're such a nut! When I said "race your own race" I knew you could kick some bootay and wanted you to go for it. You did great yesterday and I'm glad you were out there.
Monday Morning Hangover
I'm the first to admit that I have a non-traditional work schedule. As a coach, I work many early mornings, nights, and weekends (the times when clients are free). However, I haven't been really good in the last five years at scheduling in a "weekend" for me (even if it's in the middle of the week). I think I need to look into that.
So, here we are on Monday morning again and I'm exhausted. 12 hours jockeying my desk with a work project on Friday followed by a bike fit. Four-hour training in the east bay on Saturday, then two bike fits, groceries, and race prep. Sunday, it's up at 4:30am to go race mtn bikes (and not back home until about 6:00 last night).
Maybe Monday should be my weekend?
Sunday, July 02, 2006
What's the talley this week?
One scuffed elbow (right). Good thing I had the arm warmers on.
One hematoma on my butt/hip (right).
One big bruise on the inside of my knee (right).
One chain-ring gash on my calf (left).
Oh, and my left wrist still hurts from my crash two weeks ago.
And apparently I have poison oak on my right shin (confirmed by lots of eye witnesses today).
Help, I've fallen and I can't get up!
Today was the 7th and final race in the CCCX Mountain Bike Race Series. My goals for the year were to win one race (best finish so far was 3rd) and podium for the series (guaranteed 4th going into this race).
I was excited to race and hoping I had good legs today. I did a massive training load this week -- 22 hours in the previous seven days (ouch) and my legs were fried for our Tri-Flow training yesterday. So I wasn't sure how I'd feel, but I didn't burn going up & downstairs to load the car this morning so that was a good sign.
Dani Weber went to the race with me and we pre-rode the course together (even though she wasn't racing until the 11:00 sport race). It was great to pre-ride with a more experienced racer. I liked the course -- very fast, pretty flat, and a couple of pavement sections. There were a few technical sections I wasn't sure I'd clean, and a bunch of sand, but all in all a course that seemed to suit me well.
At the start, I still wasn't sure how I'd do. Angela asked me (in a secret whisper-voice) if I was going to win. I just smiled, knowing that I probably wouldn't win, but vowing to die trying.
My start was strong and I was nose & nose with the leader as we entered the singletrack. I sat on her wheel through the pre-lap and maintained contact on the climb (yippee). I didn't look back to see if we had a gap so I didn't know who was where behind us. The leader passed one of the men and I couldn't get around, so I lost a bit of ground, but when we swung out onto the pavement, I caught and passed her.
As we approached the ledge (a jump-like short, steep uphill), I got a little nervous. I had cleaned it in my pre-ride, but I hadn't worked so hard approaching it earlier. The trail was congested, I didn't get enough speed, and I fell, causing a train-wreck of beginner women behind me (drat!). While I was untangling myself and getting back on the bike, one girl passed me. I was slow to mount, hit a root, and fell again, while another girl passed me. Shortly after that, a third girl passed me. I started chasing, confident I would catch them on the singletrack, but I got behind two slow guys and one slow kid. I lost minutes before I could pass and I never caught any of the girls again.
So, it was a crazy day. Once I lost the lead women, I was out there alone for the rest of the race. My legs were great, but I just kept falling off my bike (and riding off the track). What's with that? I never fall. The weather was weird -- cold and foggy. I was sweating like the hyper-thyroid pig I am. So, I couldn't see for shit. My eyes were foggy and I felt like I was losing depth perception. And my helmet was sitting too low on my forehead, obstructing my vision. Whine, whine, whine.
Random thoughts from the race in no particular order:
On our pre-ride we saw a little grey mouse lying dead on the singletrack. I carefully steered around him. On my first lap, it appeared that 100 riders before me had hit him -- bright red guts everywhere.
I had decided I'd bring a flat coke on the bike for a late-race sugar/caffeine boost. Since I don't drink soda or coffee anymore, I thought it would serve as jet fuel. I bought a coke yesterday and let it sit open to flat. On lap 3, I decided to take a sip. As I opened the water bottle with my teeth, coke blew up in my face (and out my nose). Choking, I almost fell off the bike again.
Mountain biking is just so cool and the people are great. I've gotten to know lots of folks during this season and it was so great to come through the finish circuit each lap and hear folks cheering my name -- thank you everybody!!! I love the kids, families, dogs, post-race beer, the way everyone comes to stay for the day, the whole enchilada.
I've met some great women. I felt a little teary-eyed today when I said good-bye to Ayshe and Shelly. They've motivated me and I feel like we've all grown as racers together. Thank you both!
During the race, I kept thinking "I'm more of a mud girl than a sand girl." I'm actually proud that I nailed all the sandy sections except one. But I feel more comfortable in the mud.
I'm bummed that my mtn bike season is almost over. I've had much more fun and positive experiences than with my road races or crits this year. Next up is Cougar Mountain and then I think that's it for this year. Bummer.
Hey, maybe I'm not a beginner anymore.....I've done seven, count 'em, seven mtn bike races now, including Sea Otter!
Now, back to those goals. I finished 5th today, so I didn't win a race in the series, but I'm okay with that. I improved a lot and have been racing well (when I'm not falling off my bike). And I moved up into 3rd in the series, so I can check that one off.
***Congratulations to MARY (2nd mtb race) and ELIZABETH (4th mtb race). It was great to see both of you at the line today!!!***
***And finally, big thanks to Keith and Rod for putting on such a great series! Can't wait until cyclocross starts!***
ps -- Thanks for making me feel pretty, Dusty. "Fast riding and good looking" carried me through the week. It's been a while since I've felt attractive.

Wake Up Call
We were riding in Livermore today when we came upon the scene of a terrible accident. One of our riders is a veteranarian, so she was able to provide some medical assistance until the paramedics arrived. I've seen so many bike accidents, but I've never seen anything quite like this.
Everytime we hop on the bike, we place so much trust in others -- the technology, cars, fellow riders, the weather, ourselves. And most of the time they don't fail us. Today was a grim reminder that once in a while they can fail in a big way.
I'm not one for prayers, but my heart-felt thoughts are with Pat Caurant today and during his recovery.
ps -- also a reminder to have emergency contact information readily available on your body or in your phone. Pat's riding buddies had a heck of a time trying to find a contact. Also, if you have any medical conditions, list them as well. As fredish as this seems, ROAD ID is a great idea.

Second Meeting towards a Scientific Network in the Caucasus Mountain Region
The meeting towards a Scientific Network in the Caucasus Mountain Region – was organised on 30-31 May 2013 at the National Parliamentary Library of Georgia in Tbilisi.
In addition to stakeholders invited to the April 2013 preparatory meeting, the organisers invited scientists from Turkey (Ankara University) and Iran (The University of Malayer and Mountain Environment Protection Society), which meant that the initiative now covered the entire Caucasus ecoregion. To involve a still wider range of groups, Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University (Georgia) and the Institute of Zoology and Institute of Botany of the Academy of Science of Armenia were also invited. Finally, the meeting was also attended by different international/donor organisations, as well as by European scientific networks and institutes.
The two-day meeting concluded with a joint declaration on the further development of the Scientific Network in the Caucasus Mountain Region. The main outcome of the meeting was an agreement on the establishment of the Ad Hoc Informal Working Group, which was tasked to define a) the institutional setup of the Network, b) elaborate the future agenda of the Network, and c) identify priority areas of Network interventions on the basis of an assessment.

Still no luck getting Jotform to work with flexslider on IE11.
Maybe this would help, but links are dead.
From my web developer:
"There is a known conflict between jQuery and Prototype libraries. Jotform uses Prototype"
I also tried updating "jquery.flexslider-min.js" to v2.2, but didn't fix the issue in IE11Page URL:
- JotForm SupportMike_TAnswered on October 27, 2014 at 03:30 PM
Thank you for contacting us.
Since the forms are embedded with the iFrames on your web page, it is not likely that the issue is related to the namespace conflict between jQuery and Prototype libraries. Please make sure that your flexslider is compatible with IE and embedded iFrames.
If you need any further assistance on this, please let us know.

Bringing in the Name
"After this Paul left Athens and went to Corinth. And he found a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to leave Rome. And he went to see them, and because he was of the same trade he stayed with them and worked, for they were tentmakers by trade. And he reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath, and tried to persuade Jews and Greeks" (Acts18:1-4).
As you may know, the original New Testament Greek texts were copied by hand so they could be distributed to the churches. On rare occasions individual scribes, hoping to illuminate the text, added explanatory notes which, though they're not part of the received text, shed light on it. One of these variants is found in Acts 18:4.
The accepted text of The Acts of the Apostles reads as above: "And he (Paul) reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath, and tried to persuade Jews and Greeks." An enterprising scribe at some point added a phrase: "And he reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath, bringing in the name of the Lord Jesus; and tried to persuade the Jews and the Greeks."[1]
"Bringing in the name of the Lord Jesus." Interesting! It appears that this scribe, having heard Paul speak, was thinking of his method of expounding the scriptures.
Paul had little more than the Old Testament in his hands. The New Testament, apart from some of the Gospels, had not yet been written. Thus Paul argued almost solely from the Jewish scriptures that Jesus was the Messiah and did so by reading Messianic passages from the Old Testament, "bringing in (inserting) the name of the Lord Jesus" where it was appropriate to do so. It's sound methodology and I commend the method as a way of reading the Old Testament.
I think of Isaiah 53:4,5:
"Surely Jesus has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows;
yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted.
Jesus was pierced for our transgressions; crushed for our iniquities. Upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and by Jesus' wounds we are healed."
Paul's homiletic is especially apropos when we read the Book of Psalms for, as I believe, all the psalms are Messianic and all can be placed in Jesus' mouth or applied directly to Him. Accordingly:
When I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil, for you, Lord Jesus, are with me;
your rod and your staff, they comfort me (Psalm 23:4).
That puts a face on our companion as we walk through that dark valley. The Lord Jesus will walk with us though all others must turn back.
David Roper
[1] For those of you who care about this sort of thing, one 7th Century manuscript [D] and some versions of the Syriac and Vulgate have the variant: "και εντιθεις το ονομα του κυριου Iησου."

Cathy's story
This project brings together two of my passions: collaborative action research and technology.
Last year's project focus was on the collaboration and asked 'What can a group of tutors learn from each other in making effective use of mobile technologies?'
I wanted to follow this up but switch the focus onto the technology. Yvonne and I had worked really well together on the project last year so I was really happy when she agreed to do a joint bid for the emCETT practitioner research project.
In 2013 there had been two main challenges. The first was around the technology. I learned a lot about bringing a set of iPads together to create a class set. I also had a very steep learning curve in what to do with the iPads & I still remember that feeling of being out of my comfort zone. The meetings with the other tutors in the project were so vital in overcoming this. However, the second challenge had been around meeting – timetabling meant that there was not a single time where all the tutors were able to meet together. I was the lucky one that got to meet with everyone and I learned so much from this.
Switching the emphasis of the research from the collaboration between tutors onto the technology I was interested in Bring Your Own Device. I'd explored activities that I could ask students to do with college equipment, what activities could we reasonably ask them to do with their own devices? What were the students' opinions on using mobile technologies? I also wanted to include the students in the research at an earlier point of the year.
With this in mind two research questions were written:
What are the educational benefits of using mobile technology in a classroom setting?
What is the impact of using mobile technologies in the classroom on students' use of their own devices?
Last year I'd predominantly used the iPads with my Entry 1 16-18 ESOL class & Yvonne had used them with her Entry level maths group. This year we agreed to include more classes and thought it would be interesting to compare different level classes. I was the new tutor for the year one Cert Ed/PGCE group so thought this would be an interesting group to include and Yvonne has an E3 maths groups again and a GCSE group, where most of the students were members of staff at the college.
