Fundraising is also called Money-Earning because it typically involves the sale of Popcorn or other products.
You may not solicit donations except for Friends of Scouting or other council fundraising drives.
Basic Expenses
In one weekend of Popcorn sales or other Fundraising, a Scout can earn enough in his Individual Account to pay for a year's worth of adventures:
- Basic Costs
- Registration: $10 to the National Council.
- Boys' Life: $12 magazine subscription.
- Accident Insurance is just a few dollars per Scout and protects you from medical bills from an accident in Scouting.
- Program Materials: includes books and supplies, flags, camping equipment, and more.
- Advancement: costs include awards, ranks, patches, and more.
- Activity Costs
- Cub Scouts: Pinewood Derbies®, trips, ball games, camping, and much more.
- Boy Scouts: Camping, trips, events, and more.
- Camp programs are also age-appropriate:
- Cub Scouts attend Day Camp, Cub Scout Resident Camp, and Family Camp.
- Webelos Scouts attend Webelos Resident Camp tailored to their growing interests and abilities.
- Boy Scouts attend Boy Scout Summer Camp with even more opportunities for older boys.
- Equipment includes Uniforms, sleeping bags, tents, etc.
- Unit Expenses: Each Scout's fair share of unit recharter, training, fees, equipment, etc.
The Boy Scouts of America suggests that each Pack and Troop maintain "individual youth accounts" to allow Scouts to save for their individual goals.
Sources of Income
Many councils offer one large fundraiser each year allowing Scouts to earn enough for their individual accounts for the entire year. Ideally, all income would come from den dues and one fund-raising program at the beginning of the program year each fall. A spring fund-raiser could be included, but with the proceeds again dedicated to each youth member's individual youth account.
- Some Important Points
Paying your own way is a fundamental principle of the Boy Scouts of America. It is one of the reasons why no solicitations (requests for contributions from individuals or the community) are permitted by units. Young people in Scouting are taught early on that if they want something in life, they need to earn it. The finance plan of any unit should include participation by the Scouts.
An annual unit participation fee, too often completely contributed by parents, does little to teach a boy responsibility. The unit's entire budget must be provided for by the families, either through fund-raising or other means such as dues or fees.
Individual Youth Accounts
|— scouting.org
A Scout's earnings should be applied first to his basic expenses, sometimes called dues, with remaining money going into the Scout's Individual Youth Account. Some units instead take the boy's earnings and place them into the unit's general account to be divided up.
Individual Youth Accounts are also critical for Webelos Scouts to make the Webelos Transition into Boy Scouts. A boy who has learned to work towards his goals can participate in more activities. He is more likely to stay in Scouting. Plus many Webelos Scouts take their savings with them into Boy Scouts to pay for new uniforms, equipment, and Summer Camp. Packs send the boy on not just with money, but with self-reliance and personal management skills.
Money-Earning Projects
Except for council-sponsored product sales, all other money-earning projects require the submission of the Unit Money-Earning Application, No. 34427, to the local council. To ensure conformity with all Scouting standards on money earning, leaders should be familiar with the eight Guides to Money-Earning Projects listed on the back of the application, listed below, and in the financial record books.
Product sales
Most councils conduct an annual sale of Popcorn or other product by youth members. The proceeds are split between the participating units (packs and troops), the local council, and the manufacturer. The Unit proceeds are given back to the Scouts who earned them first for their basic expenses and each Scout's remaining earnings going into their Individual Youth Accounts. The council's share helps pay for Day Camps, Summer Camps, events, facillities, and support staff.
The national organization oversees the product sale and assures that vendors are qualified; however, the national organization does not receive any portion of the proceeds of the sale, nor does it receive any remuneration from the product vendors.
Guides to Unit Money-Earning Projects
A unit's money-earning methods should reflect Scouting's basic values. Whenever your unit is planning a money-earning project, this checklist can serve as your guide. If your answer is "Yes" to all the questions that follow, it is likely the project conforms to Scouting's standards and will be approved.
1. Do you really need a fund-raising project? There should be a real need for raising money based on your unit's program. Units should not engage in money-earning projects merely because someone has offered an attractive plan. Remember that individual youth members are expected to earn their own way. The need should be beyond normal budget items covered by dues.
2. If any contracts are to be signed, will they be signed by an individual, without reference to the Boy Scouts of America and without binding the local council, the Boy Scouts of America, or the chartered organization? Before any person in your unit signs a contract, s/he must make sure the venture is legitimate and worthy. If a contract is signed, s/he is personally responsible. S/he may not sign on behalf of the local council or the Boy Scouts of America, nor may he bind the chartered organization without its written authorization. If you are not sure, check with your district executive for help.
3. Will your fund-raiser prevent promoters from trading on the name and goodwill of the Boy Scouts of America? Because of Scouting's good reputation, customers rarely question the quality or price of a product. The nationwide network of Scouting units must not become a beehive of commercial interest.
4. Will the fund-raising activity uphold the good name of the BSA? Does it avoid games of chance, gambling, etc.? Selling raffle tickets or other games of chance is a direct violation of the BSA Rules and Regulations, which forbid gambling. The product must not detract from the ideals and principles of the BSA.
5. If a commercial product is to be sold, will it be sold on its own merits and without reference to the needs of Scouting? All commercial products must sell on their own merits, not the benefit received by the Boy Scouts. The principle of value received is critical in choosing what to sell.
6. If a commercial product is to be sold, will the fund-raising activity comply with BSA policy on wearing the uniform? The official uniform is intended to be worn primarily for use in connection with Scouting activities. However, council executive boards may approve use of the uniform for any fund-raising activity. Typically, council popcorn sales or Scout show ticket sales are approved uniform fund-raisers.
7. Will the fund-raising project avoid soliciting money or gifts? The BSA Rules and Regulations state, "Youth members shall not be permitted to serve as solicitors of money for their chartered organizations, for the local council, or in support of other organizations. Adult and youth members shall not be permitted to serve as solicitors of money in support of personal or unit participation in local, national, or international events."For example: Boy Scouts/Cub Scouts and leaders should not identify themselves as Boy Scouts/Cub Scouts or as a troop/pack participate in The Salvation Army's Christmas Bell Ringing program. This would be raising money for another organization. At no time are units permitted to solicit contributions for unit programs.
8. Does the fund-raising activity avoid competition with other units, your chartered organization, your local council, and the United Way? Check with your chartered organization representative and your district executive to make certain that your chartered organization and the council agree on the dates and type of fund-raiser.
The local council is responsible for upholding the Charter and By-laws and the Rules and Regulations of the BSA. To ensure compliance, all unit fund-raisers MUST OBTAIN WRITTEN APPROVAL from the local council NO LESS THAN 14 DAYS before the fund-raising activity.

Nation & World
In 'Day of Rage,' Egyptians battle in the streets
Several cities across Egypt erupted into fierce street battles Friday between supporters of ousted President Mohammed Morsi outraged over the deaths of hundreds at sit-ins earlier this week, residents and security forces.
Health Ministry officials said that at least 60 people died, pushing the death toll toward 700 since armed government forces swept into two camps of pro-Morsi demonstrators Wednesday. Several news channels described the day's events as "Egypt fighting terrorism," embracing the government's definition of members of the Muslim Brotherhood, the secretive organization through which Morsi had ascended to the presidency.
In a statement, the Brotherhood called for its supporters to go back to the streets for another week. Those opposed to the military ouster of the democratically elected Morsi "only have two options: either to go back home or protest. If they go back home, they will suffer from oppression and military rule," said Amr Darrag, who leads the foreign affairs committee of the Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party. "The regime is (killing protesters) because they don't have any political means" to end the crisis.
In Cairo, abandoned highways and bridges were peppered with burnt cars, blockades and tanks, as Morsi supporters, largely Islamists, marched in what they called a "Day of Rage" against Wednesday's unprecedented government crackdown. The various protests never could coalesce, as they were confronted by repeated gunfire, forcing them to disperse.
Morsi supporters charged that either police or military personnel were shooting at them from helicopters that hovered over the capital. At one point, video captured protesters plunging from a bridge into the Nile to escape the gunfire. Lines of bodies were at mosques turned into makeshift morgues.
Alaa Mohammed, 16, awoke Friday morning to attend the funeral of her friend Asmaa el Beltagy, 17, daughter of Muslim Brotherhood leader Mohamed el Beltagy. She'd died Wednesday at the sit-in in the Rabaa section of Cairo. As women wailed for Asmaa, Mohammed said she planned to protest for the first time in her life because "the military has to be punished for what they are doing."
Marwa Dewaidar, 33, a 16-year member of the Brotherhood who once taught Asmaa, urged the women around her to write their names and national ID numbers on their arms in case they too, ended up at the morgue.
"We cannot live with these people," Dewaidar said of the government as women around her began asking each other for pens.
The government and the Brotherhood blamed each other for Friday's violence. Many Morsi supporters vowed retribution, not for his ouster but for the deaths of their "martyrs."
At 7 p.m., when a curfew started, the streets were largely empty with only sporadic clashes and fighting in the restive Sinai.
For the first time, Egyptians spoke Friday of potential civil war and asked how their nation compared with Algeria, which endured a brutal civil war in the 1990s, and Syria, which is engulfed in a 2-year-old civil war.
"CC=Bashar" said graffiti near Nasr City, in Cairo's eastern outskirts. It was a reference to military strongman Gen. Abdel-Fattah el Sissi, pronounced See-See, equating him to Syrian President Bashar Assad.
Through the gunfire at so many sites, it was unclear who'd shot whom.
Reporters saw residents and Islamists alike armed. Residents would pull out sticks, handguns and machetes as Morsi supporters' protests drew near and Islamists would brandish guns as soon as they heard gunfire. Finding out who'd started the battles was all but impossible.
In the Giza section of Cairo, for example, numerous protesters told McClatchy that army forces stationed nearby had fatally shot two protesters and wounded a third.
"I saw soldiers shoot at us from the church," said Hussein Ali, 37, an accountant for an electrical company who's a Morsi supporter. A nearby army officer told McClatchy that his troops did indeed shoot at protesters but only when they'd tried to storm the church and set it ablaze.
Mustafa Mahmoud, 23, who lives near the church and said he didn't support either side, said the troops had started shooting when the protesters came by the church "because they were too close."
In a sign of how much the landscape has changed, whereas Morsi supporters once had demanded that he be reinstated, they now said they were taking to the streets as a form of retribution for the deaths of protesters Wednesday.
"Either we seek democratic solutions from A to Z or we take to the street," Dewaidar said at the funeral. "How can we believe in the vote when they throw our vote in the trash bin?"
Within seconds of finishing their prayer, which ends with the line, "Peace be upon us and on those who are righteous servants of Allah," the angry chants against the military began.
"Down with all the dogs of the military," thousands screamed as they began they marching toward the burial site.
Nearby, residents had set up a checkpoint manned by men in their 20s armed with machetes. It was unclear whether the men who were checking those passing by were there to protect the neighborhood from the Muslim Brotherhood or attack them when they arrived.

Food has been a topic of poetry for many centuries and in many cultures; the notion that food writing and poetry writing are totally separate ventures is a recent development. Much of our knowledge of eating habits, culinary practices, and food taboos throughout history and around the world comes from poetry. Food in poetry also functions as a powerful symbol of spiritual and moral states, and at other times it is used as a sexual symbol.
The Chinese have a long tradition of including food in poetry, going as far back as the Chou Dynasty (from the 12th century B.C.E. to 221 B.C.E.). There are Chou poems celebrating festive foods of the time, including stewed turtle, fried honey cakes, duck, quail, and good wine, and discussing the preparation of rice. The Shih Ching (Book of Songs) includes food scenes such as lamb sacrifice, in which the aroma of the roasting meat is described and fruit and wine are offered; verses on a feast of rabbit and plenty of wine; a song rejoicing in family togetherness at a feast including such meats as lamb, ox, and tripe, and an abundance of wine; agricultural songs celebrating wheat, millet, barley, plums, cherries, dates, melons, gourds, beans, garlic, and rice (from which wine is made). The culinary abundance of the T'ang Dynasty (618–907) is strongly evident in its poetry, which contains paeans to plums, pears, persimmons, jujubes, many kinds of melons, spring wine, and peaches, which were a traditional symbol of immortality in Chinese poetry and painting. Poems were also forums for discussing differences between foods. For instance, the eighth-century poet Chang Chiu-ling used poetry to address the many ways in which lychees and longans are not similar fruits at all, despite their superficial similarities. Poems written Page 125 | Top of Article during another prosperous period, the Ch'ing Dynasty (1644–1922), link food and sex, with female beauty and sexuality compared to melons, cherries, and grapes.
Food is also an important presence in classical Western poetry. Homer's Iliad and Odyssey are rich with scenes of feasting, as well as of ordinary eating. In a famous scene from the Odyssey, Odysseus and his crew, trying to return by sea to Ithaca, stop at an unknown land whose inhabitants, the Lotus Eaters, offer a lavish banquet to the three men who are sent to explore. The fruit (or the juice from the fruit) that the men consume gives them great pleasure and also makes them forget all thoughts of home and family so that the other crew members must drag them away by force. Homer also describes the feast of roast meat served to Odysseus by Achilles. The Greek poet Hesiod wrote about enjoying good wine with meat and bread. The Roman poet Martial wrote a great deal about foods, such as figs, olives, parsnips, chicken, fish, cheese, eggs, chives, shallots, and onions, to name a few. Virgil described milk and cheese in his Georgics, which celebrates the agricultural life and mourns the dissolution of Italy's farms after famers were sent to war. Ovid wrote about olives and grapes in the Amores. In Greek mythology, the six pomegranate seeds eaten by Perse-phone (daughter of Demeter, goddess of agriculture) in the underworld after her abduction by Hades, are the mythical reason for winter: For each seed consumed, Persephone must spend a month of the year in the underworld, causing her mother to grieve and neglect her work. The story of Persephone and the pomegranate seeds continues to influence contemporary writers. In her collection Mother Love, the American poet Rita Dove writes of a modern young woman's journey to Paris that parallels Persephone's descent into the underworld. Her meal at "the Bistro Styx" includes Chateaubriand, Camembert, pears, figs, parsley, bread, and Pinot Noir. A mourning modern Demeter has a Spartan breakfast of cereal and raisins and puts stones into it.
Roman poets, including Catullus, Horace, and Martial, also wrote dinner-invitation poems. In the invitation poem, the poet cajoles the addressee into coming for dinner. He may describe the foods that are going to be served, talk about the wine that is going to be poured, and describe the entertainments that will be offered. Invitation poems are not only a source of information on what the Romans ate, but also literary documents in themselves. This tradition did not end with the Roman Empire. In the style of the classical invitation poem, Ben Jonson's "Inviting a Friend to Supper" describes a meal of salad, mutton, fowl, cheese, fruit, pastry, and wine. Another, more extensive food catalogue occurs in Jonson's "To Penshurst," which includes pheasant, carp, eels, cherries, plums, figs, grapes, quinces, apricots, peaches, cake, nuts, apples, cheeses, pears, beer, bread, and wine.
In the medieval Arab world, among those with sufficient resources, poetry and food were enjoyed in tandem, in lavish fashion. At banquets given by the caliphs, poems naming each dish—and recounting the spices and herbs used in its preparation, as well as the method of cooking—were recited during the dinners, so that the guests might savor the poetry along with the food.
There is food poetry in the Bible, as well. Throughout the Song of Solomon, the male and female narrators compare one another to fruits and other foods. The man's cheeks are compared to a "bed of spices"; the woman's breasts are described as "clusters of grapes" and her nose

as smelling like apples. Figs, grapes, vines, and pomegranates are used to describe their love for each other. The apple tree, standing out among other trees, represents the beloved's standing out among men. Other foods mentioned in the exchange include honey, milk, saffron, and cinnamon.
Food is inherent to many traditional songs and poems of the Celtic world and in England. For instance, an Irish saying goes: "Rye bread will do you good, / Barley bread will do you no harm, / Wheat bread will sweeten your blood, / Oat bread will strengthen your arm." Early Celtic poems tell of affection for such foods as mushrooms, milk, and colcannon, the Irish dish of mashed potatoes with cabbage or kale. In England, a song once accompanied the churning of butter: "Come, butter, come, / Come, butter, come, / Peter stands at the gate / Waiting for a buttered cake, / Come, butter, come."
In the sonnets, Shakespeare invokes appetite and eating as metaphors for human behavior, beginning with images of famine and gluttony in Sonnet 1, "From fairest creatures we desire increase." In Sonnets 56 ("Sweet love, renew thy force") and 110 ("Alas! 'tis true, I have gone here and there"), appetite represents desire. In Sonnet 75, which opens with "So are you to my thoughts as food to life," appreciation of the beloved is compared to feasting, and the speaker without the beloved is "starvèd for a look." In Sonnet 52, infrequency of "feasts" gives them meaning, and in Sonnet 118, the eating of "eager compounds" and "bitter sauces" is contrasted with the sweetness of the beloved.
Jonathan Swift, whose concern with matters of hunger reached its most famous height with "A Modest Proposal," the essay in which he ironically suggests fighting hunger by eating children, saw fit to write poetry about onions, oysters, and fishmongers. Robert Burns's "Address to a Haggis" is traditionally recited with the serving of the Scottish dish. The English writer Sydney Smith composed recipes in verse, giving instructions for preparing salad dressing and roasting mutton, for instance.
In the twelfth-century Celtic poem "The Vision of Mac Conglinne," Mac Conglinne helps a king overcome his gluttony. The poem, delectable not only to poetry lovers but also to scholars of medieval Ireland, catalogues an outrageous abundance of foods, including salmon, kale, hazelnuts, sausages, bread, cheese, bacon, and especially milk, which is described as being so thick that it must be chewed.
Food in poetry sometimes carries moral significance. In an archetypal episode in Ovid's Metamorphoses, the poor couple Baucis and Philemon share their meager food supply with beggars, who turn out to be gods in disguise and reward the couple with abundance. The biblical story of Eve's eating of the forbidden fruit, said to be an apple but possibly a pomegranate, is portrayed as the first human sin and the reason for man's state of sin. The story of Eve's giving in to the tempting fruit also starts off John Milton's epic on the fall of mankind, Paradise Lost. In Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, food is an important element in maintaining the balance of bodily humors, and gluttony is addressed as one of the Seven Deadly Sins. Gluttony is severely punished in Dante's hell. And food taboos are part of the human struggle: In Byron's Don Juan, a starving crew of seamen resort to cannibalism, but only after a long and horrible effort to avoid it.
Food in poetry can have transformative, and sometimes destructive, powers. In the English epic Beowulf, feasting (which always involves plenty of drinking) is generally followed by sleep, which makes the men vulnerable to attacks by the monster Grendel, who feasts on men. (Feasts in Beowulf are also given to honor people, and are the backdrop against which many discussions and Page 127 | Top of Article confrontations take place.) In Samuel Taylor Coleridge's "Kubla Khan," the consumption of milk and honey is linked to an altered state of mind. John Keats paid close attention to food in his poems and letters; in his poem "La Belle Dame Sans Merci," the beautiful woman destroys a knight by feeding and seducing him. The food, like the sexual attraction, is central to his undoing.
Some poets invoke food to convey matters of the spirit. T. S. Eliot's question "Do I dare to eat a peach?" conveys the jaded frame of mind of the speaker of "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock." Emily Dickinson uses hunger metaphorically; in the poem "Hunger," hunger and dining express loneliness and love. Another poem, "Forbidden Fruit," makes a pithy statement about human nature: "Forbidden fruit a flavor has / That lawful orchards mocks; How luscious lies the pea within / The pod that Duty locks!"
Some poets simply delight in the discussing of food. Pablo Neruda, in his Elemental Odes, writes about artichokes, lemons, and olive oil (and the use of the oil in mayonnaise and salad dressing). Ogden Nash has a book of light verse about food. D. H. Lawrence wrote poems entitled "Pomegranate," "Peach," "Medlars and Sorb-Apples," "Figs," and "Grapes." A. E. Housman celebrates the cherry tree in "Loveliest of Trees, the Cherry Now." William Carlos Williams's famous "This Is Just to Say" has immortalized some irresistible plums in an icebox; the savoring of plums occurs also in his "To a Poor Old Woman." The contemporary American poet Robert Hass weaves lush California cuisine into many poems.
Poetry and food may be coming back together, as they were in ancient times. Enough contemporary poets have written poems about food to fill a number of anthologies of food poems, including one devoted exclusively to poems about potatoes (Spud Songs, ed. Gloria Vando and Robert Stewart).

A connection to dirt, yeah, that's core need for all of us. If we have not walked on the dirt for awhile when we do so it's unfamiliar, even alien sometimes and even our innate sense of balance can be challenged. Who has not seen the elderly gingerly step along on flat concrete and wholly avoid bare earth because of it's "foreign" unevenness. I try to walk on dirt whenever I can as a way to recalibrate my inner balance and poise. Yeah, playing in the dirt, just like children; it's what's good for you. Jim DuncanReplyDelete
You don't want to lose connection with dirt?ReplyDelete
Don't worry. That's impossible. We all end up there anyway.
Oh gawd what a tease.ReplyDelete

This soil thing...wet clay soil almost killed me, hypothermic, sleeping, rain.
I think those people who only think of the world as x's, o's, ones and zeros need to get their collective heads out of the sand (sic). Many of us dinosaurs know (knew?) these things.
Terrain, soil comp, tire choice, conditions, how in the same corner you have different consistencies, how to read it and rail or ride the inside line pokey...then make a misjudgment and repackage.
Same applies to the road I guess.
On your insta-feed there's a pic of you actually riding your bike and not posing. Looks natural. Should be more of you drilling it or soft pedaling. That's what riding is, not a fashion shoot.
Goog any sort of bike-related thing and go to images; all sorts of disembodied bikes. Blech.

One of my first mountain bike races was in the mid 80s while I was living in Wyoming. It had rained pretty hard the night before. The trails turned into a greasy mud -- locals refer to it as gumbo -- which clung to tires, frames, chains, everything. I was in a pack of riders that powered through an especially boggy area. Suddenly my bike started acting crazy. My chain started jumping wildly and mud was flying everywhere. I kept pedaling hard, but that was the wrong thing to do. The rear derailleur twisted around and was destroyed, as were the cogs. I remember there were three or four riders who shared a similar fate and ended up riding home in the back of a pickup.ReplyDelete
Turns out the mud is bentonite, a kind of clay that comes from volcanic ash that was deposited around the region thousands of years ago in an eruption from Yellowstone. Many areas of Montana and Wyoming are almost impassable in the spring because of gumbo.
I'd take sand any day.

"Dirt" is a crazy complicated thing, ask any tire engineer how to quantify different soils and they launch into vocabulary not unlike that of wine aficionados. I got exposed to a little of that a few years ago on a project we worked on at an engineering firm I worked with. I also have a brother in law who's spent his entire professional life with Goodyear, he's got interesting things to say on the subject.ReplyDelete
My own observations are gleaned as much from crashing as anything else. I know quite a bit about how the limestone soils and red clay in central Va. where I live now, differs in taste, smell and difficulty of scrubbing out of abraded skin from the creamy pale ocher Caliche soils of S. Texas where I grew up.
But hell, even our paved roads in Texas sometimes looked like archeological phenomenon rather than anything that could have come off the back of an asphalt truck. Skinny, wavy little farm roads that appear to be the exposed spines of prehistoric creatures that sensed death and crawled into low spots between hills or against creek banks. Strips of winding grey crocodile skin, cracked and corrugated like the remnant rind of the original planet. It's tough to tell where the dirt stops and the pavement starts. It's country where it would be as likely that we would just drive on fossilized remains as stand out in the sun scratching a road out of the ground.
From your description it sounds like there's a whole new world of dirt to be crashed on up there. Maybe I ought to pack a first aid kit and come try it.

Being connected and in the moment....two themes I hear over and over amongst a specific group of folks. Bicycling certainly forces/allows one to be just that!ReplyDelete
Good point!ReplyDelete
You're right, of course, and that connection is powerful for the same reason riding in a forest is better for you than riding in a city is. Mountain Bikes by their very nature have taken me on a multitude of trails, and in all kinds of weather, too. Some trails drain well and are hard-packed even when wet, while others turn into quagmire quite quickly!
Sand drains well, but clay!?? Did it get slimy?
Those are the kinds of rides where we all used to get home looking like mud monsters from the silly swamps. Still, some of those days were the best rides of all...

Ha! This post gave me a bit of a chuckle because I live in Denver, where gravel and tailings from the radium mining industry was used as construction fill for laying out many of the early streets. Seriously, if you take a geiger counter you can get radioactive readings on many of our city streets. So I sort of shudder to to think about what's under the streets that I regularly ride on!ReplyDelete

10 years ago I started studying Geology and Environment and it fundamentally changed the way I interact with the local environment wherever I happen to be. Walks, cycles, runs have beome so much more fascinating as I look at and attempt to interpret things around me from soils to rocks in walls and patterns of vegetation. I now feel that I am permanently wearing a pair of time-travelling glasses allowing me to look back thousands and millions of years, seeing ancient oceans, mountains, floodplains and now dried-up river systems.

A good forensic geologist, or the inimitable Sherlock Holmes, could deduce, from a small sample off of your wheel, where your bike (and presumably you) had been, give or take a few miles. One of my favorite pieces by John McPhee, "The Gravel Page"' was published in the New Yorker some years ago under its Annals of Crime banner. Here's a link to the full article. I guarantee you will find it fascinating:ReplyDelete
More generally regarding roads and how they got the way they are in this country, I found The Big Roads: The Untold Story of the Engineers, Visionaries, and Trailblazers Who Created the American Superhighways, by Earl Swift, to be illuminating. His writing is not on par with McPhee (a hard feat) but the story is well told. Among other things it dispels the notion that somehow Dwight Eisenhower was personally responsible for the interstate highway system; One of the engineers responsible for the New York State Thruway walked its entire length; dirt roads in many parts of the country became impassable after heavy rains.
Dirt is mutable as well.ReplyDelete
My recent mini-tour followed paths I have done earlier when not under drought conditions.
Speeds on the dry hard ground were well above my previous averages.
Geology will tell you almost everything you would need to know. Checking out the soil surveys would take a little time but would yield interesting information. Having a GIS would be useful for looking at all this.ReplyDelete
It is amazing how variable the soil, geology, and vegetation is across New England.
One of the beauties of an outdoor activity like biking is how it forces us to be aware of the small changes in the environment. Our calculations of the time taken to complete a trip need to include wind speed and direction, grade, quality of road, and the ever changing weather. It's more than just soil surveys and weather reports,though that data is a start, its using our senses to understand and relish the world around us.ReplyDelete
There are few topics as fascinating as soil and I cannot explain why that is. Forgive me, but I would say that soil is even more fascinating than bicycles. Any thoughts about starting another blog called "Lovely Soil"?ReplyDeleteReplies
No need for excuses. Soils are the warp of the tapestry we call landscape. My main motivation for bike riding is to see more of that tapestry.Delete

I was out riding dirt roads in VT on the day of the Vermont Fall Classic, and conditions were great, even with the rain. Sadly, I was out on a solo ride, but did cross paths with a bunch of folks descending Stage Rd down into Jonesville as I was grinding my way up the hill. I've lived here for over 10 years, and have no clue what our dirt is composed of, but I do know how it breaks in over the summer, how it feels in the rain and how loose it can get after it has been graded. Even though I couldn't make it out for the Fall Classic, I have a sense of why it is taking so long to digest... VT in the fall leaves a lot to think about.ReplyDelete

Geology is a wonderful closet hobby to just dabble in.ReplyDelete

They're not intensive reads, good for maybe a week on the bathroom floor . . . oops mebbe that's a man thing. Anyway, they do page-browse read nicely.
Ah yes, our roads. They are fantastic aren't they?! That's why we love dirt so much. It is important to remember that they also benefit from grading and 4-6 months of having sand added to them for traction. Also, since so many of our roads are "dirt" they get a fair amount of attention in the form of added stone during the wetter spring months.ReplyDelete
This is all part of my bread and butter (I'm a plant ecologist), but it's always good to see more people awakening to the landscape.ReplyDelete
We take better care of what we notice.
Nicely expressed, as usual. No wonder Central Park is so popular.ReplyDelete
Separately, which of your trusty steeds do you most favor on roads like these?
A really common rock in the VT Green Mountains is schist. A lot of it must end up in road base material. Dark or medium silvery green or olive color. When its ground up, it does have a somewhat different gritty but slick feel when you rub it between your fingers, which I suppose is because it is foliated and breaks into little particles are very thin or plate-like. I'm not a geologist but recall this predominance of schists from having spent some time in the Mad River area years ago.ReplyDelete
More dirt than pavement, by mile here in VT.ReplyDelete
Scroll down:
Soil. It's called soil. Dirt is the stuff you sweep up off the floor or brush off your clothes. :)ReplyDelete
As a Geotechnical Engineer, my job is to basically determine how to build on soil(foundations, pavement, etc.) or with soil (dams, basins, etc.). Since God doesn't build to spec, it tends to be a bit more art than science, relatively speaking, compared to other engineering fields. That is what drew me to this field of work in the first place, though. It probably takes on the order of 20 to 30 years dealing with the stuff, before one has enough experience to be considered an expert. And that is just in one region. It's all local, so a guy who has 30 years in in one area of the country might not have any more knowledge about another area of the country than some newbie fresh out of school. It's all very humbling in the end.
The NRCS has a nice interactive soil survey mapping website, in case anyone wants to geek out on this.
I wrote a little post for MusclesnotMotors.com about the Brevet and added a link to your photos/blog to it. I hope that is okay. Nice pictures of a really nice ride! !ReplyDelete

If you have access to an administrator (or admin) account, you can sign in to the Google Admin console. The Admin console is where administrators manage Google services for people in an organization.
Sign in now (requires an admin account)
- In any web browser, go to admin.google.com.
Starting from the sign-in page, enter the email address and password for your admin account (it does not end in @gmail.com). Forgot your password?
An admin account has privileges to manage services for other people in your organization. The Admin console is only available when you're signed in to an admin account. If you don't have access to an admin account, get help from someone else who does. Who is my administrator?
If you see a list of Google Accounts on the sign-in page, be sure to choose your admin account (it does not end in @gmail.com).
Tip: To switch between accounts on the same computer without signing in each time, see Sign in to multiple accounts.
QuestionsWhy did I have to sign in twice?
If your company is using a Single Sign-On (SSO) service with your Google account, then signing in to your account from admin.google.com sends you to a second sign-in page. From here, you'll sign in not just to your Admin console, but to other programs or services your company has set up with SSO (so you don't have to sign in to each one separately). Just enter the sign-in name and password your administrator gave you.
For details, see Signing in with SSO.
You need to sign back in to the Admin console after each hour of use. This requirement helps to keep your organization's Google service secure.
If you're a super administrator and you try to sign in to admin.google.com, you're asked to enter your full administrator address (email@example.com) and password. You're then redirected to the Admin console after you sign in. Google does not redirect you to the SSO server.
If you don't have super administrator privileges and try to sign at admin.google.com, you are redirected to the SSO sign-in page.
For details, see Signing in with SSO.
With Google Chrome, you can manage your website passwords, letting you save a username and password so that Chrome automatically completes the sign-in fields for you the next time you visit these websites. The new two-step sign-in flow for all Google accounts does not impact the behavior of the password manager; it will still auto-complete the sign-in fields for you.

ROCKFORD — Rockford IceHogs fans want a winner.
They want to see a playoff run, and soon.
"Sure we do. Don't get me wrong: We know how it works. But we also want to see our team in the playoffs," said Rick Owens, a longtime IceHogs fan who considers himself a diehard Blackhawks follower as well. "For a lot of these guys, it's all about showing their skills down here and getting up to the NHL. But we're ready for some fun down here."
So one of Owens' big questions, and one being tossed about by plenty of IceHogs fans these days is: Is enough being done to turn the IceHogs back into a winner? Considered one of the elite affiliate programs — the Blackhawks have used the pipeline from Rockford to Chicago extensively throughout their run to two Stanley Cups in four years — the 'Hogs have missed out on the AHL playoffs three straight seasons.
There have been 35 players graduate from Rockford to the NHL in its first six seasons in the AHL, and that has taken a toll on the AHL team down the stretch. It has fallen just short all three times; but out means out.
That fact isn't taken lightly — by the fans, or by the brass on both sides.
"We've all got a job to do," Blackhawks GM Stan Bowman said during the offseason. "But we all want to win, at every level. That is the bottom line for any team, isn't it?"
That's a good question, Stan. It's hard to judge the success of an NHL affiliate, and it depends on who you ask. There's no arguing the fact that the primary job of teams like the IceHogs is to get the players ready for the next level, and to "develop these guys, in the right way, so that when they do get up there, they're just the kind of players we need them to be," said IceHogs General Manager Mark Bernard.
We've been hearing that for three-plus years now. Don't get me wrong: I buy it. And we've all enjoyed the pair of Stanley Cup titles the Blackhawks have locked down because of it.
However, that's not always an easy sell to fans like Owens, and others.
But take into account that Rockford was the first AHL team to post 42-plus wins and not get into the postseason last year when their late run fell one point short, and it would seem they are close. The IceHogs were even 38-33-4-5 when they missed out in 2011 to start the string — hardly a complete disappointment, and clearly not a losing record.
This season they are again one of the youngest teams in the league (the average age was 23.65 after the latest transactions), and have played like it at times already. But they are getting strong goaltending — Kent Simpson (with a 2.77 goals-against average and a .932 save percentage headed into Saturday) and Antti Raanta (2.87 GAA with a .902 save percentage) — and points from all over the ice, and have already shown flashes of transforming back into a title contender.
They were tied for fifth in scoring in the league with 16 goals headed into the weekend, and they were spreading around the wealth, with six players with multiple goals, and 10 players finding the back of the net already.
"It really feels good in here. It's a positive attitude all over, and it's a real energetic, exciting group of guys here in Rockford right now," 20-year-old center Mark McNeil said. "Will it translate to the playoffs? I don't know. But it sure feels like a bunch of guys who want to, and expect to, win."
Brandon Pirri, the 'Hogs' leading scorer last year, was called up to Chicago last week. While they did get Jimmy Smith, a big body who can do it all, back in return, his stay in Rockford is expected to be a short one, and Pirri will most likely spend time in both cities this winter.
And quite often, as Owens said, it feels as if the players have a different agenda when they are wearing an IceHogs' uniform. Sure, they want to perform and produce, and they want to be a part of a winner. But it's hard to blame them for setting higher goals.
The players, however, don't sense that this year.
"I've been here for a couple of years, and I think the guys that are here, here right now, they want to get this team to the playoffs," said Jeremy Morin, the team's second-leading scorer this year with five points headed into Saturday's game. "You probably always hear that, and of course we want to develop as a player. But shoot, we take pride in that kind of postseason stuff, and we don't want to be the ones going home early no matter where we are."
'Hogs' fans don't want to go home early this season, either.

The market experienced quite a shock in the opening weeks of trading of February, pulling back into correction territory within a matter of days. At the bottom, the S&P 500 briefly gave back all its gains since last October. As of writing, most indices remain in the negative for 2018 though the market remains highly turbulent and undergoes large swings every day.
After a very strong 2017 and an even stronger January, it seems the market was stretched too tight, and conditions conspired to push it over a tipping point into a correction. Analysis of the events surrounding this pullback seem to indicate two technical factors that initiated and then accelerated the downturn. The first is worries about a higher interest rate environment, while the second was a glut of traders unwinding highly leveraged positions, especially those shorting volatility.
With the economy seemingly in full growth mode, investor attention has begun to turn towards interest rates. In January, while the Federal Reserve did not raise interest rates, their statement was interpreted by some as hawkish in tone, suggesting more aggressive rate hikes to combat future inflation. This outlook was bolstered by employment data showing wage increases in January, an indication of growing inflationary pressure.
By the beginning of February, these inflation worries blunted the market's upward momentum and caused a spike in bond yields. It is believed the spike in bond yields in anticipation of higher interest rates is the catalyst that pushed the market over the edge. With the market already having moved so high and so far without a real pullback, the pullback started off on a steep decline.
The decline was accelerated due to the second factor we mentioned. The extended bull market has spurred the creation of various instruments to try and profit from low volatility, the most infamous as of now being the XIV, which has been a very profitable trade. Unfortunately, in the current downturn, these highly leveraged instruments can make huge sudden moves. The aforementioned XIV lost over 80% right at the beginning of the current downturn, resulting in devastating losses for those invested. Unwinding these trades further elevated market volatility, creating a vicious cycle that caused the VIX to explode up to 50, and drove the market down to a 10% correction.
After plummeting through various round number and technical support levels, the S&P 500 bounced off the 200 day simple moving average and has regained some ground. As of the time of writing, the S&P 500 is still 7% down from the high point in January and remains negative for the year.Market Outlook
So where does the market go from here? From a historical perspective, the average correction sees a market drop 13 percent, and takes approximately 4 months to regain its ground. If this is a turnaround into a bear market, however, the drop we've experienced is just the start, and the market will give up more ground in the coming months. Based on the factors precipitating the pullback, chances are that this will ultimately be a short lived correction, and the market should begin regaining ground within the next couple months.
With economic data remaining strong, there does not seem to be a fundamental basis behind the pullback, leaving just technical factors driving market movement during this correction. This becomes more apparent when we look at how the market has moved during the correction. At present, the major stock indices have fallen back in line with their 2017 trends.
Zooming in further on the S&P 500, the 90 day and 200 day moving averages become apparent as technical levels that line up pretty squarely with the 2017 trend. At the bottom of the plunge on February 9th, the S&P 500 briefly dropped to the 200-day moving average before rebounding into the weekend. On the way back up, the index met resistance at the 90-day moving average at 2656.
Based on these technical factors, it is unlikely we will see a further break below the 200-day moving average and the 2017 trend. We still may see some further turbulence and another retesting of the low levels as investors and traders continue to unwind risk. A similar situation exists on the upside; the resistance from the confluence of the 2017 trend and the 90-day moving average will likely prove a hurdle for the rebound. In all likelihood, the market will settle into an uptrend that takes up to a couple months to regain their highs.Lockbox Strategy Update New Men's University Jordan Super Fly 2017 Fly TB Shoes Jordan (921204-601) University Red//White dc89eb5
The correction has hit the Lockbox portfolio very hard. While our positions were far enough to not be overrun by the market directly, the speed of the decline and the incredible expansion of the VIX caused severe overruns of our risk thresholds. We were forced to close positions and reduce our risk exposure, locking in losses in the neighborhood of 20%. This is not a loss we can make up in the time remaining for the month and February will be a month in the red.
Locking in these high losses is painful, but is necessary in order to free up the fund to take advantage of the current volatility. Lockbox trades on volatility, and the current elevated volatility will give us the opportunity to ramp up cash flow and maximize return. We have been in this position before, most recently in August 2015 when the devaluation of the Chinese yuan dropped the market and gave us a 17% beating. The heightened volatility after that plunge accelerated our returns and we regained the lost ground over the next 7 months.
While the worst is likely over, turbulence will remain and we will likely revisit the low again as the market tests the support level at the 200-day moving average. Volatility should stay high through the rest of February, giving us an opportunity to jumpstart our cash flow. Over the next several months, volatility will trend back down as the market stabilizes, but will remain elevated compared to the record lows seen in 2017, and enable us to generate higher consistent returns throughout 2018.

Visually Striking New Video From Sage Francis
Hip-hop's favorite bastard child outsider Sage Francis has an astonishing new video for the song "Love The Lie" off his genre-bending album Li(f)e. The song is co written by Francis and the late great Mark Linkous of the band Sparklehorse. The video, which premiered today at Guardian UK site, ingeniously utilizes stop motion effects to beautifully depict love and loss amongst some intricately rendered and undeniably soulful robots. The unique and artful clip was directed by the talented newcomer Jim Foltice.
The composition for the song was provided by the talented Linkous and subsequently recorded in the studio by Francis, the album's producer Brian Deck (Modest Mouse, Iron and Wine) and cohorts Jim Becker and Tim Rutili of the band Califone. The result is an appropriately moving track that merges powerful melancholy indie rock with Francis' reflective soul searching lyrics. As Francis explains: "In the song we run through the adventures of a sick person unwilling to seek professional help as well as all the fun things that happen to children who have to juggle the realities and fallacies they've inherited from a broken home. Pick your lie and love it if it loves you back, that's what I say."
