The durable construction of the D9T is well suited for tough working conditions.
The durable construction of the D9T is well suited for tough working conditions. It has excellent productivity, optimal operator comfort and robust reliability. Today's D9T will help you meet your business objectives every day.
Engineered for maximum production and service life.Learn More
Mainframe Strength – Built to Last
Helping you get more done with maximum availability, the D9T's durable design makes repair and maintenance easy. Customers can rebuild these tractors several times using the same frame with only minor repairs. With unparalleled support from Cat dealers it is not unusual for a Cat large dozer to log more than 100,000 hours.
Tag-Link blade mounting brings the blade closer to the machine for excellent maneuverability, machine balance and blade penetration. This design also eliminates the need for diagonal bracing by transferring side loads to the mainframe, instead of the dozer push arms.
Equalizer Bar End Pins
Proper grease lubrication on working surfaces can significantly extend component life and help lower maintenance cost.
Power and reliability to help you move more.Learn More
Performing at full-rated net power of 306 kW (410 hp), the large displacement and high torque rise allow the D9T to rip through tough material. Matched to the high-efficiency torque converter and electronically controlled power shift transmission, it will provide years of reliable service.
ADEM™ A4 Engine Controller
Manages fuel delivery for optimal performance per liter (gallon) of fuel used. Provides flexible fuel mapping, allowing the engine to respond quickly to application needs. Tracks conditions and keeps engine operating at peak efficiency.
Air-to-Air Aftercooling and Airflow
Air-to-air aftercooling keeps air intake temperatures down and, in concert with the tight tolerance combustion chamber components, maximizes fuel efficiency and minimizes emissions. Significant improvements in air flow are generated by a water-cooled turbocharger, unique cross-flow head and single overhead cam.
Fuel Heater (optional)
Uses the temperature of the engine coolant to warm the cold fuel coming directly from the tank. The fuel heater allows an easier transition to winter blended fuels during season changes.
High Altitude Arrangement (optional)
The attachment provides an updated turbo and control software that allows full tractor performance up to 4420 m (14,500 ft) altitude.
Superior cooling keeps you moving in the most demanding work conditions.Learn More
Aluminum Bar Plate Radiator – 6 Fins Per Inch (fpi)
Cooling system uses a radiator built with rugged, highly efficient aluminum bar plate cores. The aluminum bar plate construction aids durability and allows for higher heat transfer and superior corrosion resistance.
Hydraulic Oil to Air Cooler
Helping to save on repair and maintenance costs, the oil to air hydraulic cooler helps extend component life by reducing hydraulic oil temperatures.
Hydraulically Variable, Demand Fan
Customers experience increased production and fuel economy as well as reductions in fan noise and engine over cooling with the hydraulically variable demand fan. The demand fan changes speed to match ambient conditions. In cooler environments, the fan turns at a slower speed; consuming only the power required to cool the tractor system, providing more power to the tracks to help you lower your cost per unit of material moved.
Power and control to efficiently move your material.Learn More
The D9T power train design optimizes performance and the ease of operation helps customers get more done for the lowest cost per unit.
Torque Converter
A high efficiency torque converter with fixed stator provides high torque multiplication while shielding the drive train from sudden torque shocks and vibration.
Enhanced Autoshift (EAS)
A standard feature for the D9T is EAS. EAS improves fuel efficiency and productivity by automatically selecting the optimal gear and engine speed combination based upon power train load and desired ground speed. This feature functions similar to an automatic transmission.
Bi-directional Shift
This convenience feature helps reduce operator work load during operation. Bi-directional shift allows the operator, by just making a directional change, to automatically select the desired forward and reverse gears or the desired forward and reverse speeds when EAS is activated.
Auto Downshift
This feature adds value by enhancing safety and productivity during the dozing cycle. When not in EAS mode, auto downshift can be used to automatically downshift the transmission when significant load increases are detected, but this feature will not automatically up-shift when load is reduced. Auto downshift provides optimal performance with minimal operator effort. The operator may override these automatic shift features at any time.
High Availability Is Key
Major power train components are modular in design, so being able to quickly remove and reinstall a new pre-tested component gives you the ability to keep the dozer up and running and producing.
Planetary Powershift Transmission
Power Turn with Differential Steering
With differential steering, large blade loads can be smoothly maneuvered throughout a turn.
Designed for optimized machine balance and best performance at your site.Learn More
The elevated sprocket and fully suspended undercarriage work together, increasing traction while creating a smoother ride for your operators. The elevated sprocket design transfers implement shock loads to the mainframe, so final drives, axles and steering components are isolated from harsh impacts. These benefits translate into higher production and longer component life.
Provide flexibility to match the machine to your job.Learn More
All blades feature a strong box-section design that resists twisting and cracking. Blades are made of high tensile strength steel that stands up to the most demanding applications.
CapSure™ Hammerless Ripper Tip and Shank Protector Retention System
The tip and shank protector are easily installed with a 180 degree turn of a ¾ inch ratchet. This simple installation means no hammering and therefore improved safety. It also means quicker change outs and less downtime.
Rear Counterweights
Provide proper tractor balance to maximize dozing production. Recommended if dozer is not equipped with any other rear attachment.
Designed for your comfort, convenience, and productivity.Learn More
The D9T cab is designed and equipped for operator productivity, safety and comfort. The standard isolation-mounted cab reduces noise and vibration. Overall operator sound levels have been reduced by 2 dB(A). Large windows, tapered hood, and notched fuel tank provide excellent visibility to all sides of the machine and around the job site.
The Advisor Monitoring System tracks machine operating conditions in real time.
Operators will enjoy comfort features like standard Cat Optimized Seat, adjustable arm rests and automatic climate control. The climate control system automatically adjusts heater and air conditioning controls to maintain a consistent cab temperature throughout the day. Both heater and air conditioner deliver filtered, pressurized, temperature controlled air to the operator and/or windows. The system performs five functions: heating, cooling, defrosting, pressurizing and defogging.

MK is almost done with the director's cut of the Painted in the Desert movie
POST WRITTEN BY Mellissae Lucia
Hello dear Painted in the Desert devotees {giggle, giggle}
This has been a wild ride this year, the Painted in the Desert project coming out of the blue after I asked MK to help me make some SHORT films marketing my new book and work. I giggle at the "short" part because when this wild and crazy idea flew into MK's psyche we had no idea what the journey would yield. One of the things I thought initially was that if we knew what we were truly getting into at the beginning of our first foray into full length documentary film making, we would not do it. Now, I cannot speak for MK at this point, since she has been in intense labor with editing the film for a good month and a half, so I will speak from the father's position in the waiting room saying it is not true for me at all that I would not do it again. Wild horses probably couldn't keep me from doing it again.
This whole adventure has actually been the fulfillment of many of my personal dreams. I got to collaborate with someone I trust and enjoy who is brilliant, I grew exponentially in self-confidence with being in front of the camera and interviewing people, we captured my profound love for the raw beauty and magic of New Mexico during our filming there, and it was a total love-fest during the interviews with the artists I grew up with. It really was a homecoming, a recognition of my own arrival as an artist and tribe member in the world of people who have bravely forged a new path living lives they love.
I would say for both MK and I it has been a really, really wonderful confirmation that when you show up and put yourself out there that the universe conspires and supports your dreams. Equipment, music, people, locations, media, and inspirations all showed up just when we needed them. Even when we felt thwarted it turned out that the delay helped us to make a better movie. It has been a monumental trust walk, and even though we have worked our butts off, it has had a flow and ease to it. I will carry these lessons through out the rest of my life, that when you truly get magically inspired by an idea, even if you have never done a project on that scale or anything like that, if it gets you so excited you can't sit still, GO FOR IT.
So, on the eve of MK having the baby {movie} I send out the sparkly delight to YOU that has swirled around MK, Frank and I while we have made this incredible film.
MK's vision from the beginning was to make a documentary film that was inspiring and uplifting, offering a view into these really beautiful and fascinating lives of working artists that most people don't get to see. Imagine if you were a teenager and you got to a view a movie of these vital, funny, authentic, visionary, joyful people who had claimed a life they love. How would that change your own sense of potential?
So it is almost the New Year, and the world is shaking and quaking with changes, and MK and I are adding our own magic to the mix. We are profoundly grateful for your support of this whole Painted in the Desert process, and may you find and embrace your own brilliance in this coming era, we need all the illumination we can get. It's almost 2012, LETS ROCK AND ROLL.

This week I got my hands on a brand new Karcher K3 Premium Home Pressure Washer, a brand new appliance exclusive to the UK thanks to Ideal World TV.
Not only have I reviewed the product but I also got the chance to give one away this week. Read all about the give-away here.
So as many of you know already I've only been in my home six months and we've worked hard to modernise the house inside and out; working on some big home and garden renovations in recent months.
Delivered within 3-5 days the washer arrived in one piece in a fully branded Karcher box. The washer came with easy to follow instructions and warranty documents as you can see on the left.
I assembled the pressure washer without using the instructions but i did have a look after i had put it together and for those not familiar with the systems or brand, i think it would be easy enough to assemble within 5-10 minutes.
Once i got the washer untied and set-up i decided to take it out for the spin. I had two cars on the drive that hadn't been washed in weeks so it was the perfect time and we have the perfect weather for it. Both of the cars just had their MOT's so we had a new set of Aoteli tyres on one and the other i managed to get discount continental tyres form National, a site worth checking out if you need new continental tyres or other popular tyre brand.
The mains cable was surprisingly long so we didn't need to use an extension-lead to power it up. When it came to attached the system to my outside taps i did have a little problem; the fittings for the tap were wrong, we have old taps that we narrow and thin which meant our bulky hose-pipe attachments just didn't fit.
Luckily for me i live two minutes away from the local DIY-store. I was able to buy the correct fitting (With help from a member of staff) for only £5 and get the pressure washer started easily with a flick of the switch.
You need to make sure that you have all the attachments fitted correctly before you start firing-away. I didn't have one of the cables fully attached so it didn't work at first, i quickly realised that the cable going to the washer handle wasn't attached correctly. I added in a splash of the washer fluid and got down to business;
Using the pressure washer really easy, the unit was easy to move around and the wires were flexible and agile. After use it was easily tied up and broken down for easy storage, i put mine back in the box but it would easily fit in any garden storage system or even under the stairs.
Now that i've got my hands on a Karcher washer i can see why so many people trust and buy the brand in the UK. No longer will i need to waste money paying for expensive car washes.

This past weekend we headed to Ottosdal, circa 3.5 hours outside of Johannesburg, for the weekend. We stayed on a farm, free of charge, with the most hospitable couple known to man, Bennie & Ansie. It was like going back in time making me realise that I'm a soft city boy. We were welcomed with a braai on the farm and introduced to the friends of the family. Above is the picture of Benny's dad who started the farm after World War II where he fought in South Africa's campaign in Egypt. Afrikaans and English intermingled as we made ourselves understood. Classic phrases which we picked up over the weekend:
- "hy het 'n kom-moer-my gesig" = "he had a come-hit-me face"
- "ramparty" = "stag party"
Below are some of the collector's items, rugby greats on whiskey bottles:I found an old South African flag on some of the hundred patches which Benny has collected over the years. Looked to me more like a collector's historical item than a political stance. In the pub, there was an authentic old South African flag alongside that of Che Guevara. Anyone who knows recent South African history would find the juxtaposition pretty humorous.
There was more horizon around Ottosdal than most city folk get to see in a lifetime. It liberates the soul and frees up the mind.
The Ottosdal marathon is run by the local church. Every year the settlement (poor chaps don't even get to be called a town) has a sporting festival which lasts the weekend. Cycling and running races with a market offering an array of different food and products. Everyone from the neighbouring farms comes to help. Alberto & I even got our heads shaved in support for Cancer. The chap on the left was a farmer. His chirp which made our day was: "Don't expect perfection, because I'm a boer not a barber."
Local sponsorship was organised by a lot of the farming co-operatives and companies. Dekalb mielies (corn) was one of the main sponsors. "The proof is in the corn".
As the sun set, a couple of thousand runners gathered for the night marathon. 21k's out of town as the sun turned the sky pink and orange, turn around and find yourself guided back to the stadium by lanterns in the middle of the road. As dusk enveloped us, we struggled to find the sweet spot on our running feet. The darkness soon lifted as a million stars slowly upped their power and filled the night sky. More stars than you've ever seen in your life. Breathtaking.
1st 10 k's in 54 mins, 2nd & 3rd in 53 mins, last 10k's in 61 mins. Total was 3.57 with an average heart rate of 141 and a maximum of 158. The wheels started to wobble at 35k's, mainly due to lack of mileage, so we switched off the engines and coasted in, trying to save the suspension for another day. Biggest run before this had been the 21k for the Bedfordview Helpers Run on Jan 9th, so we were happy with our outing. I know it's risky increasing the mileage so rapidly, but sometimes you have to push the envelope a bit if you want to start running with the big boys.
We celebrated at the finish line with a bowl of curry and rice for the unbelievably low price of R15 per bowl! Just what the doctor ordered.
And their medals were out of this world. Those who were able to do the Saturday 100k bike and Sunday 42.2 would be rewarded with 2 medals, which would fit into a third gold medal (see below). I may have to get on these bad boys next year.
A highly recommendable weekend. Something I see myself doing for a few years to come.
Did I mention that they drew some of the entrants's names from a hat and gave away *real* diamonds? I kid you not. Sitting in the diamond district has its perks.
Keep on truckin',

- Shoe string bugetReview by Oneyejack
- These things are worth their weight in gold, I mean who would spend 900 bucks on a pair of shoe strings. Hell I order to pair. No body is going to out shine me and my shoe strings while riding my bike. I let everyone know how they cost and they can't believe the deal I got. I hope they aren't talking behind my back? (Posted on 12/15/11)
- Gerat aglets, but pain on windy ridesReview by Stephen
- I bought a pair of these before I did my circumference of the nation ride a while back, and they worked great. Only problem was, the wind would whip them around and one of them hit me so hard it broke my ankle! It actually embedded in the skin, and when the EMT pulled it out, I was howling. Despite the pain, I demanded he give it to me, and the pair now sits on my running shoes. (Posted on 10/12/11)

Psychokinesis: How to develop PK
Published: 17th September 2009
Views: N/A
Today however, the two terms are used pretty much interchangeably and for those seeking to develop their psychokinetic abilities, exercises designed for either purpose will work just fine.
It is important to note that developing psychokinesis does not happen overnight. How long it takes depends on many factors, some of which science can not yet explain. I have seen people reporting results in on their first attempt while others do not see results for weeks. No can honestly say that everyone has the ability. Some people quit trying before they receive results and who knows, they might have gotten results the next time they tried but because they stopped we will never know for sure.
The bottom line is to practice. Go into this knowing it could take months or even years to develop the ability. But it is not something you have to spend hours upon hours practicing. Short 10 to 15 minutes practice sessions once or twice a week will show results for most people. So even if it takes you months to learn, it is not a big outlay of time and energy.
The great thing about this exercise is it can be done anywhere at anytime and no one even has to know you are practicing psychokinesis. All you need is a coin that has two distinctive sides and a fall surface to toss the coin on.
To allow yourself the maximum opportunities to be able to practice, make each session just 10 coin tosses. You can easily track this in your head and know whether your tosses are higher or lower than pure chance and if you have time to run multiple sessions at one sitting, that is great, but if time is short, just do a quick 10 tosses and go about your business.
Since a coin has only 2 sides, there is a 50/50 chance that you will toss the correct side without it involving any type of psychokinetic ability. So with a session being 10 tosses, chance will show 5 correct guesses out of the 10 tosses. Your goal would be to get as close to scoring 10 of 10 as possible.
Keep a score sheet in your wallet or purse and at the end of each session, jot down your score. A score of 7 out of 10 means nothing but a score of 700 out of 1000 is starting to show a strong ability and a score of 7000 out of 10,000 would show a powerful ability. But you need to make note of it. Keeping it in your head is not going to be very impressive to anyone. A written record is much more believable and if you keep detailed records it is even better.
All you need to do is decide which side of the coin you want to show up when the coin comes to a rest after you toss it, and use your mind to send that thought to the coin. Toss the coin and make note of the results.
It is important to note here that you are not trying to psychic guess what the outcome of the toss will be before your toss it, you are attempting for force the coin to land on your chosen side. This will of course involve sending your thoughts toward the coin, but you can try different ways of doing it to see which gives you the best results.
Some people will see the side they want to show up in their minds eye (visualization). Others will send thought energy of the visualization towards the coin while it is being tossed. Others will send the name of the side through their thought energy. There is no right or wrong way to do this. Everyone is different and will receive different results, so do what feels right to you.

Pairing the right microphone to the right preamplifier is key to achieving the best possible results in the recording studio. Preamps are what add that special magic when recording, for many years, engineers were limited to the preamps built directly into their large format console. Nowadays, there are so many outboard options available, you can get a variety of classic analog sounds, or modern aggressive sounding preamps to fit any style of music you may be working on.
Recording preamps come in all shapes and sizes, Vintage King offers everything from single channel preamps, to 32 channel preamps and more. Ranging from the standard rack-mountable design, desktop style, and 500 series modules. For home studio or production use, a single channel preamp or dual channel preamp might be the way to go. For a larger studio setup, you can look into the eight channel and beyond type setups. Get with your Vintage King sales engineer to find what is right for your studio setup.
When recording a vocal, you might want to go with a tube preamp such as the Universal Audio 6176, or Manley VoxBox. Tube preamps tend to be much softer sounding when in the sweet spot, or you can drive them to get a pleasant sounding tube overdrive, often heard on classic rock and Motown records.
When recording drums or guitars, you may want to go with a solid state preamp like the API 512c, or Neve 1073. These style preamps are typically much clearer sounding than a tube pre, and have more focus in the midrange frequencies. Overdrive them to get an amazing saturated signal, which is great for drums, guitar, bass, and sometimes vocals. The oversaturated solid state preamp sound is how The Beatles achieved the guitar tone on "Revolution".

Federal environment minister Peter Kent announced today that Cenovus' proposed drilling of 1275 shallow natural gas wells in the Suffield, Alberta area had been turned down by the federal government.
The project, which would have taken place in the CFB Suffield National Wildlife Area, was found by Minister Kent to constitute too great a risk to 19 species at risk in the area.
This was the first decision announced by the federal environment minister since new streamlined rules for project approvals were announced earlier this year.
The first application for the project under the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act was made in 2005, and a joint Canada-Alberta panel started its review in 2006. Public hearings were held in 2008 and the panel released its findings in 2009. The Minister suggested that had the streamlined rules been in place all along, the decision would have been much faster.

Affordable Insurance Company Texas
This condition gives the insurer two alternatives in the event of a loss to a pair or set of personal property items. The insurer may:
- repair or replace any part to replace the pair or set to its preloss value or
- pay the difference between the actual cash value of the property before and after the loss.
Appraisal can be invoked to determine the amount of loss. Such disputes might involve the valuation of items of damaged or destroyed personal property or involve the dispute over what constitutes like or equivalent construction.
Either the insurer or the insured may demand appraisal of a loss. If appraisal is demanded, each party chooses an appraiser - who the policy says should be competent and impartial - within twenty days after receiving a written request from the other party to submit the claim to appraisal. Affordable Insurance Company Texas
The two party-designated appraisers are to choose an umpire. If the party appraisers cannot agree on the umpire, either party may apply to a judge in a court of record in the state where the residence premises are located to choose the umpire.
The party appraisers then state the amount of the loss. If, on comparison of the party appraisers' respective loss valuation, they are in agreement, that is the amount of loss payable. If the appraisers differ as to their respective valuations of the amount of loss, they are to submit their differences to the umpire: A loss valuation agreed to by the umpire and one of the two party appraisers will determine the amount of loss.
The appraisal condition provides that each party will:
- pay its own appraiser and
- share the expenses of the appraisal and the umpire equally. (This can result in significant costs to the insured in certain circumstances.)
As a practical matter, insurers rarely demand appraisal unless they are very confident in their evaluation of the amount of the loss. One of the reasons insurers will consider demanding appraisal in a case is when they believe the insured is considering suing for bad faith (i.e., that the insured contends the insurer is low-bailing the claim). If the outcome of the appraisal is at or very near the insurer's valuation of the amount of loss, then the appraisal demonstrates that the insurer's position was reasonable.
It also then largely, if not completely, provides a defense if the insured nevertheless sues for bad faith, If the outcome is the opposite, that is, the appraisal award is significantly greater than the insurer's valuation of the loss, the insured's potential bad faith suit may have a greater likelihood of success, since the insured is then in the position of being able to argue that the insurer unreasonably undervalued the claim.
This policy condition addresses who should pay for a loss when it is covered by another insurance policy or by some other agreement such as a home warranty agreement or an extended warranty agreement.
When there is other insurance, the two insurers will share the loss in the proportion that their respective policy limits bear to each other, As a practical matter, if one insurer refuses to pay, the other insurer will often pay the entire claim, and then proceed to sue the first insurer to recover the unpaid share. Affordable Insurance Company Texas
If there is a service agreement such as a home warranty plan, this condition provides that the insurance afforded by the policy will only pay the excess of any amounts payable under the service agreement.
Suits against us (no-action clauses) address two separate concepts. First, this condition provides that no action can be brought against the insurer unless there has been full compliance by the insured with all the policy's terms and conditions. As a practical matter, the insurer cannot prevent the insured from filing a lawsuit. All this clause does is provide the insurer with a legal defense to a lawsuit by an insured when the insured fails to follow the policy requirements, such as refusing to submit to an examination under oath or failure to comply with the proof of loss requirements.
Second, this condition provides that suit must be brought within two years after the date of loss. This provision again cannot prevent an insured from filing a lawsuit against the insurer. It does, however, afford the insurer a legal defense to a lawsuit by the insured if that lawsuit is not filed within the two-year limit. Check your policy - many policies contain only a one year period in which a suit must be brought. This provision is enforced in the same manner as is a statute of limitations.
In some states, the two-year period does not begin to run until the loss has become sufficiently apparent that a reasonable insured would know that his or her duty to give the insurer notice of the loss has been triggered. This is something that frequently becomes an issue in soils movement and foundation damage claims. Further, in some states, the clock on the two-year period stops running between the date when the insured gives notice of the claim and the date on which the insurer informs the insured of its coverage/claim decision.
Still further, if the insured is having difficulty completing the proof of loss, the insured and the insurer can enter into an agreement that the two year limitation on suit period can be extended, just as they can agree that the time for submission of the proof of loss can be extended. Any such agreement necessarily should be confirmed in writing.
If you need more details, I suggest you get Affordable Insurance Company Texas and learn the secrets inside.

Four Little Corners, by DADA Company, is a simple storybook app with a sophisticated message - fitting in with your peers can be as difficult as fitting a square peg through a round hole. Wow! Four Little Corners is digital masterpiece, based on the original book by Jérôme Ruillier, whose message is a timeless classic. We LOVE this unassuming yet profound story/app; it is a delightfully darling little tale that has such a powerful message! Four Little Corners reinforces integral values such as friendship, integration, equality participation, comradeship, and social justice. The message that it is just fine to be different comes through loud and clear! "Four Little Corners" makes a perfect book for young readers as well as teenagers to be reminded of what is really important. The author uses simplistic concepts to signify objects and ideas, a taut piece of string represents an argument, a bit of cardboard for a man who lives on the streets, colors to represent emotions and of course a square and circles represent the children.
When field-testing this app, the younger children were enthralled with this app, which lends itself to scores of teachable moments. We found the older kids were equally engaged in the story and had a great time making predictions along the way.
This book-inspired app demonstrates that the translation from print to digital needn't be sophisticated, as long as a good story is involved. The underlying message — that childhood can be a time when fitting in is difficult — struck a chord with the jurors, who noted "Geometric forms have never been so moving or funny.
The main character is a small square, Little Square, whose friends are all small circles, the Little Circles. They are all playing together, but when it is time to go into the house, Little Square cannot go in with his friends because the door is round. They all try to solve the problem, but will they succeed? Will Little Square's friends help him?
- Enables the child to share experiences with his or her family through quality entertainment.
- Encourages learning and stimulates the child's narrative skills.
- Transmits universal educational values (tolerance, equality, solidarity, etc.) in a fun way.
- The child touches the screen to see the characters having fun and interacting.
- Teaches colors and simple shapes.
- Original soundtrack.

I relaxed my hair on 9th January and realised that my ends were still thinning. What is the point of being almost BSL if you have ugly ends? Erm...none I'd say
I realised that my idea of trimming a tiny amount of my ends at every relaxer (and I wasn't actually really following that as I was scared of losing the tiniest amount of length) was simply a bad one. Postponing that long due trim wasn't gong to help me in achieving those healthy ends I've been trying to have since the beginning of my hair journey.
I blow dried my hair and as it was straight enough, didn't flat iron it. I put it in a low ponytail...and cut! In all it was about 15 centimetres (which is about 6 inches). My sister had to rectify the cut a bit three days later for it to be straight and look better but in all, I am satisfied with the cut.
click on the image to enlarge
I am now officially back at shoulder length (SL). My ends are nice, healthy (so far) and full! I will just need to get better at documenting my new hair journey and take more pictures. Not easy when your brand new camera breaks and you have to send it back to the shop, huh? I will still try with the old one.

New Report Highlights Diversity in London Theatre
Date Posted: 31/07/14
Everyone knows that London has one of the most eclectic and vibrant theatre scenes on the planet, but now it's been confirmed that the British capital is the "most significant" theatre destination in the world.
A new report, commissioned by the National Theatre and the Society of London Theatre, has revealed that over 22 million people watched a show in London in 2012/13.
What's more, 2012/13 box office takings at the city's theatres came in at £618.5 million - more than was taken at cinemas in London during the same period.
The study also highlighted the diversity of London's performance spaces, pointing out there are some 241 professional theatres in the city with a combined capacity of over 110,000. These range from the 30-seat Lord Stanley Pub to venues like the Hammersmith Apollo that can hold 3,600 people.
The biggest difficulty when organising a theatre break in London, therefore, is deciding what to see. Among the top shows currently playing in the capital are Made in Dagenham, Miss Saigon, Skylight and A Streetcar Named Desire, which currently stars Gillian Anderson.

text: Hi Guys, My nexus 7 has recently been cracked slightly. The digitizer still works almost perfectly, but there is a small section of the screen that doesn't respond. This means that in portrait mode, I either can't use the menu bar or the home/back buttons. It's still useable, but at some point I'd like to replace the digitizer. I've found countless guides, and conflicting opinions on whether you can replace just the digitizer or if it has to be the whole assembly. My questions are directed to anyone who has replaced their first gen nexus 7 screen: 1. Which is the best guide? 2. Did you replace the whole assembly or just the digitizer/glass? 3. Where did you get the parts? (Especially UK residents) 4. Would I be better just buying parts, or buying a 16GB tablet, swapping the screens and selling as useable and keeping my 32GB 3G 7?

The cost of a college education has been an issue of national concern for decades. Not only are students and their parents discussing things such as student loans and how to afford a quality education, but so are politicians in the highest levels of government.
Here are just a few facts on the costs of higher education, According to the National Center for Education Statistics:
The average annual cost of tuition, fees, and room and board for the 2014-2015 academic year at a public, four-year university was $18,632. At private institutions, the cost averaged $37,990.
Comparatively, for the 1984-1985 academic year, those costs averaged at $8,238 for public institutions and $18,632 for private institutions, accounting for inflation.
While state funding for public colleges and universities has sharply declined over the last decade, tuition and mandatory fees at four-year institutions increased in every state.
That makes it hard for students to afford a college education without help. In 2012, 71 percent of students graduating from four-year universities did so with student loans.
According to Student Loan Hero:
As of 2016, 44 million Americans hold more than $1.4 trillion in student loan debt. This is about $620 billion more than the national credit-card debt.
About 40 percent of this $1 trillion in loan debt was used to pay for graduate or professional degrees.
Loan payments can be a significant problem with increasing interest rates.
It's easy to see that the cost of higher education is a growing burden on the United States. Don't let it be your burden. Take every step you can to earn scholarships or grants, and don't rack up loan debt to purchase nonessentials. Be smart with your money for maximum success in your college years.

Let's end January 2009 with a little levity–and a wedding. Congratulations to Dream Horse & Wife!

A Letter to My Sons
Dear Oscar and Edgar,
As I watch you play this morning just a few feet from where I sit, I am struck–as I so often am–by your sweetness, your beauty, and your joy. And as your mother, I want so much to protect you, to shield you–literally and figuratively– from life's obstacles, life's pain, from grief. That comes from my love for you–visceral, primal, all-encompassing parental love for you.
But I know that I can't. Though this life offers to us many opportunities for great joy and happiness, there is also great suffering. And ultimately one the best gifts I can give to you is to show you how to handle life's losses with heart, with grace, and ultimately with acceptance.
This was quite a week for our family. On Wednesday and Thursday, we thought that you were about to become big brothers to a beautiful baby boy. And on Friday everything changed. We may never know what caused such a change of heart, but I do have faith that one day we will understand why this happened. When I look at you both, I see my history–the challenges and obstacles that led me to your father and then to you. No matter how senseless things may have seemed at the time, when I look at you I know unequivocally why things happened the way they did–it was part of my journey to you.
When we told you the news yesterday you reacted in such a way that reminded me what is best about our family: that we are here for each other. You were able to express your feelings and ask your questions. There is security and love here that frees us and gives us space to express ourselves honestly and without fear.
There are very few promises one can make and even fewer guarantees, but I can promise you this: You are loved, you are treasured, you are ours and we are yours. We are traveling this road together, and thank goodness for that.
With all my love,
It's in the Stars
In flipping the page of the calendar this week, I noticed that Monday marked the start of Chinese New Year, and 2009 is the Year of the Ox. For me, astrology–Chinese and occidental–has been largely entertainment. Yes, I always thought it intriguing when reviewing the personality profile of a Taurus that I seemed to fit it perfectly; and when visiting our favorite Chinese restaurant, I always gleaned a special satisfaction from reading on my placemat that my Chinese sign, the Monkey, was described as "clever and intelligent."
I decided to research all of our Chinese astrological signs–Oscar and I are both Monkeys, Don is an Ox (deemed an honest, dependable, and tireless worker); and Edgar is a Rooster.
A Rooster, you say?
A Rooster is–and I quote–"an impeccably neat perfectionist."
I suppose it's possible . . . just not quite yet!
One of These Kids Is Doing His Own Thing
Those of you who remember the 1970s will remember the Sesame Street segment, "One of These Kids Is Doing His Own Thing." In it, the screen would be divided into four boxes. In three of the boxes the enclosed children would be, say, jumping–maybe one would be jumping rope, another doing jumping jacks, and maybe another just hopping around. In the fourth box, a child might be reading or drawing. The viewer's job was to discern which child was different, which child was, perhaps, marching to the beat of his or her own drum.
Cut to a scene from Oscar's school this week, specifically yoga class.
Perhaps he's meditating . . . We'll go with that.
Hero Worship
Today we join the world in celebration of the Inauguration of Barack Obama, the man who, from all reports, is our country's best choice and best chance at recovering from the current messes we are in. His intelligence, kindness, and reasonableness are worth noting and worth honoring. Many words will be uttered and written today about this man on whom we are pinning most if not all of our national hopes; and the effect he has had in our home is no less than the effect he has had on the world.
Oscar and Edgar know it is Inauguration Day. They know the name of our soon-to-be new president. And they know he and his family are moving into the White House today. They have a wonderful book on Obama and, thanks to Santa, a Barack Obama action figure.
Santa thought long and hard before procuring this action figure: Do toys such as this trivialize an important office? Is placing an Obama action figure alongside Buzz Lightyear in a frenzy of childhood play appropriate? Ultimately, Santa decided in favor of the toy for the possibilities it offered, for the discussions it might inspire, for the fact that Barack Obama is poised to stand alongside any "superhero" from any point in time.
In thinking back to my childhood toys, there were no Gloria Steinem, Eleanor Roosevelt, or Edith Wharton action figures. There was Wonder Woman, who, as I recall, twirled and emerged in a skimpy outfit, reinforcing oh-so-many stereotypes about women without my even realizing it at the time. My brother had Superman and the Incredible Hulk, superheroes who relied on physical strength to solve problems.
Barack Obama, without slighting his physical strength, will rely on his wits and intellect to solve problems. His coolness in the face of adversity stands in stark contrast to the superheroes of the past, whose anger often precipitated the requisite transformations. And there will be no need for him to don a cape or fancy armbands. He is complete in and of himself, gaining his powers from a lifelong commitment to education, observation, and involvement.
And though it may be premature to place him in the pantheon of superheroes, it is my wish that one day–and sooner rather than later–he will earn his place. We can't control who will be our children's role models–can we? But in four hours, President Obama is in the running. And with him as our nation's children's role model, parents and caregivers around the country can collectively exhale.
Happy Inauguration Day!
Snowy Fun
A Change in Position
As I begin this post, I must admit that I'm not really sure what I want to write. All I know is that as we continue to plan to add a third child to our family, I find myself looking at Edgar in a new way. It's kind of the way I looked at Oscar right before Edgar came home. I knew that Oscar was going to go from being our "one and only" to a big brother, the older brother. And I was cognizant of the fact that he would soon have to share our attention with his younger brother–though he may not have been aware of that fact at a mere 14 months old. I remember going for extra walks with just Oscar in the clear autumn air, knowing that they would be the last walks with just the two of us–a move I made more for me than for him, I am sure.
Edgar, though, when our third child does arrive, will go from being the "baby"–in every sense of the word–to the much-maligned middle child (visions of Jan Brady bemoaning her position flash through my mind). But Edgar has been the baby, the younger brother for nearly three-and-a-half years. It's a position he seems to covet and relish. And I find myself wondering what the arrival of our third child will mean to him. Oscar will continue to be the big brother, the oldest of the group. But Edgar will move into a different position. And I now find myself picking up Edgar more often, carrying him, treating him, I'm going to guess, for the last time like "my baby." And, yes, I know my children will always be "my babies." But with the arrival of our eagerly anticipated third child–whenever that happens–Edgar will no longer be the baby.
I know, though, he will handle the transition with his characteristic aplomb–being much more easy-going than most I know. And for that reason alone, I believe he is going to handle his new position with perfect ease. Hopefully, I can take a tip from him!

The other thing is that there's a track to the nomination for anyone who comes out a clear second to Romney in early primary states. If Iowa and New Hampshire winnow down the candidates to where it's Romney versus any one other Republican, the large number of Republicans who find Romney unacceptable can be united. It's not only important for Romney that he win Iowa -- it's important that it come out being something like 30-20-20 in his favor rather than 30-25-15. In the first scenario, there's no clear person for later-state Romney haters to align behind. In the second scenario, there is.
One of the things that made the war in Libya so interesting from a purely military-strategy viewpoint was how different the two sides were. Gadhafi had a conventional army with lots of tanks and trained soldiers. The Free Libyan forces had a ragtag band of dudes with small arms backed up by awesome NATO airpower. It was interesting to see who would win, with the two forces so differently configured. If Gingrich, or really any Republican other than Perry, is at a major national polling advantage over Romney when the Iowa caucuses come around, Iowa and New Hampshire are going to be interesting in much the same way.

Litigation Release No. 17149 / September 24, 2001
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION V. THE CHASE MANHATTAN BANK, U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Civil Action No. 01 C 7364 (N.D. Il. September 24, 2001)
On September 24, 2001, the Securities and Exchange Commission (Commission) filed a complaint seeking a $1 million civil penalty against The Chase Manhattan Bank (Chase) in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois alleging that Chase committed recordkeeping and reporting violations while acting as a registered transfer agent for numerous corporate and municipal bond issues. Chase consented to the imposition of the penalty without admitting or denying the allegations in the Complaint. Chase, a New York banking corporation wholly owned by J.P. Morgan Chase & Co., and based in New York, New York, is a registered transfer agent. According to the Complaint, by March 1998, Chase, and companies with which it had merged, had identified but failed to reconcile inaccuracies in its computerized bond recordkeeping system totaling more than $46.8 billion. Chase reasonably and correctly believed that the $46.8 billion did not reflect a liability of anywhere near this magnitude. Chase based its belief upon, among other reasons, the cash management systems it had in place, which were generally accurate and did not reflect any liability at the time. The Complaint further alleges that Chase did not fully reconcile these records until June 2000. During this two-year period, according to the Complaint, Chase:
The Complaint alleges that ultimately Chase was able to reconcile the vast bulk of the inaccuracies in its bond recordkeeping system. It wrote off or reserved $45.8 million, largely attributable to prior processing errors on historical systems. Approximately $28.8 million of that amount resulted from payment errors, including situations where Chase had erroneously paid bondholders who were not entitled to the money. The balance, or approximately $17 million was reserved to pay additional claims that may be presented. These amounts were not material to any financial reports filed by J. P. Morgan Chase or its predecessors.
The Complaint alleges that as a result of the conduct described above Chase violated Section 17A(d)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rules 17Ac2-2, 17Ad-10(a), 17Ad-10(b), 17Ad-10(e), 17Ad-11(b), and 17Ad-11(c) thereunder. The Commission also simultaneously entered a cease-and-desist order prohibiting Chase from future violations of these recordkeeping and reporting violations in a related action before the Commission. Chase consented to the cease-and-desist order without admitting or denying the findings in the order. The Commission thanks the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and the State of New York Banking Department for their assistance in this matter.

In a move roughly as progressive as Marvel's 1991 Swimsuit Special, DC allocates two pages in their reading guide to all of the female characters in the DCU.
Source: BleedingCool
Another week, another gaffe by DC Comics. This week's moment in PR stupidity comes from The DC Entertainment Essential Graphic Novels And Chronology 2013, the highly touted catalog showcasing essential comic book collections for bookstores, libraries and readers. DC's using the catalog to help push their books on the expanding trade market. According to DC executive John Cunningham, the catalog is also supposed to act as a starting point for retailers and librarians into the world of DC.
Since this is something that DC is heavily promoting, this means that they need to use it to show how little they care about their female characters (and by extension the female fanbase). While characters such as Batman, Superman, and Green Lantern all merit four or more pages worth of entries in the catalog, the last two pages are dedicated to all the women in the DC Universe. That's right: DC wants retailers to know that all of its female characters are so important to it, they collectively merit two pages towards the back of the book.
Adding injury to insult, the page features Batwoman and Batgirl fighting each other. Compare this to the rest of the pages, which feature heroes fighting villains or in heroic poses.
Now, if this was one isolated accident, I'm sure people would be more inclined to dismiss this as a silly oversight. But, one would think that after a few months of nearly weekly screw-ups and bad press, someone in the company would think that maybe, just maybe they should give their very public initiative a little more scrutiny to ensure that it won't, I dunno, piss off a very vocal fanbase that has effectively painted their company as a den of sexism and mysogny?
The saddest thing about this is that characters like the Flash and Green Arrow seem to be held in higher esteem than Wonder Woman, who is probably the world's best known superheroine. Considering WB is still working on a Wonder Woman TV show (you'll remember the project was delayed by a year to give them more time to cast the main role) you'd think they try to start selling some of those books now. But hey, the Flash was a TV show like twenty years ago, so it's all good.
Of course, DC's marketing department has better things to do than make sure their big catalog that's being shipped out across the country doesn't smack of sexism. Like reading second tier comic book websites' critical commentary on them and then deciding to blacklist them. Or change their black characters into tigers. Or go see Iron Man 3.

by LoganRSA » Tue May 07, 2013 2:38 pmAt least DCWKA can't blame The Outhouse for this one.
by Zechs » Tue May 07, 2013 3:05 pm
Come on now. There's no way she'd blame us for this. This is all on DC.
by Daniel Ashe » Tue May 07, 2013 3:52 pmThe funny thing is that if Marvel put out a guide like this it wouldn't even be able to fill a single page with female protagonists in their own books. Ms. Marvel and 9 volumes of She Hulk that are all cancelled before their time.
by Jack Burton » Tue May 07, 2013 3:55 pmReally DC?
Of all the Wonder Woman books you reccomend JMS's bland run? Did Greg Rucka kill a 5 year old or something?
by chap22 » Tue May 07, 2013 4:10 pm
no pre-DCnU Catwoman other than When in Rome (srsly...no Bru? no Selina's Big Score? redunkulous)
no pre-DCnU Batgirl (Cass or Steph)
no pre-DCnU WW except JMS (srsly...no Perez or Rucka, or even Simone? redunkulous)
no Birds of Prey AT ALL, DCnU or pre-
no Zatanna AT ALL
no Power Girl AT ALL
no Supergirl AT ALL
no pre-DCnU Huntress
this is just ludicrous.
by habitual » Tue May 07, 2013 4:12 pm
Just to play devil's advocate though, hasn't Marvel always done far better with the female characters in their team books, i.e. Wasp and Storm leading their teams long before DC put a female in charge of anything?
by chap22 » Tue May 07, 2013 4:12 pm
you could throw in Spider-Girl (over 130 issues)
Jess Drew Spider-Woman (50 issues but uncollected)
Firestar mini
bunch of X-chicks with minis (Rogue, Storm, Jubilee, Kitty, Emma, etc)
but other than that, yeah not much
by Juan Cena » Tue May 07, 2013 4:18 pm
He helped Craig James kill those hookers.
by Zechs » Tue May 07, 2013 4:42 pm
You could also throw in Black Widow, Ms. Marvel, and X-23 stuff too. But again yeah that ain't much compared to what DC has over them.
by IvCNuB4 » Tue May 07, 2013 4:48 pm
Saturn Girl was made Legion leader in Adventure Comics #304 (1963).
Janet didn't become ChairWoman until Avengers # 217 (1982).
Storm didn't even appear until 1975, becoming team leader in 1986.
by chap22 » Tue May 07, 2013 4:51 pm
well the guy I quoted said Ms. Marvel, and X-23 would obviously be one of the etc's under X-chicks, but yeah, totes my bad on omitting Natasha.
by chap22 » Tue May 07, 2013 4:52 pm
if a bear shits in a Legion comic and no one's there to read it, does it really count?
by Pink_Orchid » Tue May 07, 2013 4:54 pmBlack Canary has been around in one form or another since 1947 is no where to be seen. I'm trying to think if any other females in the DCU have lasted as long other than Wonder Woman and Lois Lane.
The rest, well I would have been surprised if TPTB at WB gave more than one shit about the major female characters.

In case you didn't make it to Junk Bonanza this fall,
I have a few recap photos to share.
My original shopping buddy bailed out on me,
and thank goodness for my replacement.
She was the perfect partner,
we are both die hard shoppers.
She's a great city driver & introduced me
to the Khans restaurant.
I got to see Kirklands & World Market
for the first time too!
Yes, I live under a rock.
These wire columns were so eye catching.
The vertical spectacles looked sharp stuffed with bittersweet.
This cool old desk caught my eye!
Those butcher block looking legs gave
it a very unique appeal. The interior
organization nooks would be so handy!
The flat surface angled up for a comfy
writing surface.
I just had to buy one of those film strip bows (on the goose)
after having year long regrets. 1st Pick Antiques is one
of my favorite vendors. They always have some shock
power in their booth. Last spring it was a VW bus checkout
area. This year....a huge clock. It was marked sold.
I loved the color tones in the next booth.
gray, coral, turquoise & white
This booth is Ramshackled Treasures,
their blue jar candles smelled delightful.
If you were in need of a suitcase,
you'd find the perfect one at the Bonanza!
Not to mention dress forms, crates, buckets,
basket, urns, pillows & bags.
This arbor bench was darling, with a tin roof
and porch spindle sides. Let's just say it is now on my
honey-do-list! Many people go to the show to steal
ideas and gain inspiration. You leave there on a high,
from endless knowledge & ideas. It's amazing.
The new Canterbury Downs building is much better than
the former tunnel area, which was so congested.
This tote is from last spring,
but I jazzed it up a bit with burlap & vintage lace.
It was fun to carry my purchases in it there.
It was my first attempt at ruffles!
I adore that look & left the edges tattered for a junky look.
I'd like to share what I bought in future posts,
so please keep checking my blog!
Maybe you'll see a few crafts inspired by the show
as well. If YOU went to Junk Bonanza, leave a comment
sharing your favorite vendor, purchased items or
the best idea that you spotted there.

This weekend I did the huge sale in Elgin Illinois that I was telling you all about a few weeks ago. It was a huge success, great turn out and I sold some really great pieces! It was definitely worth the effort and hard work I put into it. However, I now am currently buried under a ton more work. I have so many new things to post and show you and not enough time in the day. I also haven't felt very camera friendly. Recently clothing is just not fitting the way I want it to:( I am trying to find an exercise regimen I love. I'm not sure this exists but I am determined to find it. I will be posting new things this week, and just to give you a hint of whats to come, lots of 1920's, 1930's and my personal fav, the 1940's! Dresses, blouses, slips and skirts!

Happy Monday!

Backstage at Pnina Tornai S/S 14
October 14, 2013 | Backstage with TEMPTU
The look was sexpot meets princess bride in a bedazzled display of decorated corsets and voluminous trains at today's Pnina Tornai's SS'14 Bridal Fashion Week show. Models gracefully skated down the runway at Kleinfeld (the bridal mothership!), with airbrushed skin, intensely rosey cheeks, and bubblegum pink lips. Like her dresses, the makeup "bridged the gap between fantasy and reality," said Key Makeup Artist Lori Hamlin.
To make the girls look like living mannequins, Hamlin's team prepped the skin with S/B Primer, then covered dark circles and blemishes with Undereye Concealer. The skin was then perfected with AIRpod Foundation.
Hamlin made the eyes irresistibly flirty with winged faux lashes. Lips and cheeks were brightened with a high-intensity pink blush and lip gloss. To recreate, try AIRpod Blush in Pale Pink on the cheeks and Peony Pink on the lips. - Rebecca Wong

Over the last decade RD Krissy Moehl has taken the race to new heights not just because of her name but the attention to detail, passion and love she puts into the race. Teamed up with her mom, Peggy, working the kitchen to feed all the hungry, muddy and sometimes cranky runners, co-RD Ellen and small army of volunteers this team delivers ultra running at its finest.
To celebrate the 20th year the field was upped from its normal 350 to 1,000 this year. In the end 696 runners have signed up to toe the line this Saturday. Ironically the ratio is exactly 2 males to every female (464 males, 232 females). Poor odds for those single dudes planning to attend the post race bash the race has planned at the local brew pub to celebrate the race, St. Patrick's Day and enjoy a few frosty ones.
For those that don't know the course offers the full spectrum of trail running and ultra running. The words from Dave Terry on the races homepage couldn't sum it up any better. A brisk 10km along the InterUrban Trail allows you to get warmed up and space the field out before heading into the gorgeous Fragrance Lake segment. Lush greenery and dreamy single track trails await you in this section. After a nice 3/4 circle around Fragrance Lake itself you drop down to Cleator Road where one of the 5 well stocked aid stations await your arrival.
A 4.5km grunt up Cleator Road gets that heart rate pumping, if it eased up on the last downhill, before the famous Ridge Trail. On a clear day it offers stunning views of Mount Baker. I recall this section the first year I ran Chuckanut in 2004. I lived back on the east coast where what we called mountains were scarce. The climbs had whipped me like a rented mule and I couldn't believe how horrible I felt a mere 13 miles into the race. It was a beautiful spring day and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. About a 1/2 mile in I came across the first lookout towards Mt Baker and suddenly it took all the fatigue away and even though I wasn't on my goal pace it was rewarding just to be in such a beautiful place.
The beauty fades within a few miles after descending Dan's Traverse and running the Lost Lake Trail around the back side of the ridge as you encounter the infamous Chinscraper! Brilliantly placed at the 20 mile mark Chinscraper brings you off any high you may have had and abruptly rips out your lungs with little regard. Having said that it is still a very beautiful piece of trail to be on and halfway up the climb stands Glenn Tachiyama to capture you looking like absolute death! For those that don't know Glenn he is a fixture at Ultra Running events across the country and produces the Tribute to the Trails Calendar. $20 to support trails to keep events and trails in local communities open.
Once you make the top of Chinscraper you may think the work is done. Technically it is all downhill from here. a 6km quad crushing descent back to the InterUrban Trail followed by what may be the hardest/easiest 10km you will ever run to the finish in Fairhaven Park. Once across the line you experience ultra camaraderie at its finest. Elites, midpackers, backpackers sharing laughs and swapping stories.
And this year at the 20th there is no shortage of elites. On the men's side you have Max King, Jason Loutitt, Adam Campbell, Aaron Heidt, Geoff Roes, Dane Mitchell, Jason Schlarb, Dave Mackey, Peter Ellis, Mike Wolfe, Gary Gellin, Dan Olmstead, Hal Koerner, Ian Torrence, Topher Gaylord, Duncan Callahan, Joe Grant, Joe Uhan, Brian Morrison, Luke Nelson, Timothy Olson, Adam Lint, Justin Angle, Jeff Browning, Brett Rivers, Nicolas Mermoud, Jared Campbell and more! If that isn't one of the most impressive lists assembled for a 50km...everyone has one heck of an impressive resume.
The women's side also has some serious talent depth making an appearance as well. Defending champion Ellie Greenwood is back, Joelle Vaught, Mel Bos, Pam Smith, Jenny Capel, Stacey Cleveland and don't forgot masters champ also from north of the 49th Susan Reynolds!
For me the 20th Annual Chuckanut will also double as my 150th ultra. I can't think of a better race to have this happen. It will also be my 5th Chuckanut as well. I started training for my first ultra way back in 1994 when you used a walkman or your long runs. The Backstreet Boys were cool back then, Clinton hadn't gotten any nookie in the Oval Office yet.
A lot has changed in in 18 years. First the depth that you see with the talent listed above didn't exist. Ultra Running has really taken off in the last few years. Back then people waited a month or two for the next issue of UltraRunning Magazine to come out to find out how people did in races. People didn't tweet about every training run they did. To sign up for a race you mailed a check to the RD and showed up the morning of the race to grab your stuff. There are more people in that 20 something demographic running ultras.
A few things that haven't changed. Ian Torrence still rocks some of the best sideburns in the ultra world. Hal Koerner rocks a visor like no one else can. My mind still thinks I can win every race despite being heavier set, older and broken. (Unbeknownst to Geoff I'm hoping he brings the sled he used for his Iditarod victory and pulls me around Saturday)! Montrail still makes one heck of a trail shoe. The Badwater will be the shoe of choice for Saturday's festivities. The respect and camaraderie in the ultra/trail world is as strong as ever.
I'm looking forward to seeing a bunch of old faces and meeting some new ones Saturday. And if you aren't on the list and making the journey down to Fairhaven you can follow the action as Bryon Powell from iRunFar will be covering all the action!
Happy trails!
