2013 Goals:
#1: Do what I can do. <DOING>
#2: Finish and enjoy my 2nd full Ironman
Fanatic #3965
But, all is good, they weren't rude, they probably didn't even notice me since they were probably texting or chatting with their kids, or...
Heh...my closest call was while running. Dude in a Charter cable van onto the shoulder while fuckin' with his phone...never even saw me. Had I been on a bike and not even seen the need for evasive action (I ran several feet into the ditch) I'd be a smear on the road (and he'd almost certainly have lost his job and had to pay to have that dent in the front of the van repaired).
'07: 1324.5 | '08: 1561 | '09: 1810.9 run ~ 208.7 bike | '10: 1,000.3 run ~ 3513.5 bike | '11: 710.3 run ~ 4157.9 bike '12: 659.9 run ~ 3365.6 bike (100% benched by ortho last 4.5 weeks while in long-arm cast)
• get within 5#s of 130#s (and stay there, gotdammit!)
• 1st olympic distance duathlon
• 1st Iceman Cometh mtn bike race
• Half Fanatic
• punch Type 1 in the junk
Then there's this guy
Glad he didn't turn out to be like this guy. I'm thinking getting off the road would have been the more prudent course for the cyclists, though it's good they eventually got the guy arrested.

mileage hound
I'm thinking getting off the road would have been the more prudent course for the cyclists, though it's good they eventually got the guy arrested.
Perhaps, perhaps not....not enough info. There may not have been a good place for them to pull off/turn off, and you can't just pop off the roadway on a road bike. Stopping to step off would have required slowing down even further, and stopping could have been perceived by the driver as inviting a confrontation. Seems like they tried to ignore him and continue what they were doing while documenting the situation, so without more info it seems pretty prudent.
2013 goals: Kick some arse. Moreso than 2012.

Follow the white rabbit
I just wish cyclists would warn me when they pass me, instead of scaring the hell out of me.
Yes, this. Except I usually jump on their warning too.

Team Issue Rain Jacket
The rest of the United States can look away. This does not pertain to you. Enjoy your sunny summer riding.
Sometimes people say that they do not want to visit here because it "rains all the time in Portland." Usually, they mean it with a bit of hyperbole. At least that is what we like to think. The truth of the matter is that Portland barely factors in to anything when it comes to average rainfall in the United States. This report by Live Science claims that it is not, and does not, factor into even the top 10 for average rainfall. You could have fooled me. In the past few weeks there has only been one day when the first thing that I reached for on the way out the door was something other than my Rain Jacket.
The day before the Tour of the Battenkill photographer Dan Sharp followed the team as they shook the travel out of their legs. Rain or shine if Director Herety says ride, they ride. On this particular day they spun their legs looking for some of the dirt sections that they would face the following day at Battenkill. The weather was less than ideal but Mr. Sharp's resulting images were well worth braving the weather and their continued results as the season progresses is a sure sign that they are doing something right.

I loved this set on flickr…. nice to see its not just us brits who have to battle the elements!

Agreed. My rain jacket has been in use 5 days this week, ride for a couple of hours, washed, hung to dry then worn again the next day. Repeat all week! Faultless performance every day.
So has it rained in South Africa yet Gem?

yep, great set of pictures; and a great jacket. Only one question, does it matter a jot what sort of detergent you wash it in?

I have a Stowaway Jacket which I believe offers amazing rain protection. To improve upon the Stowaway is an amazing feat. Kudos to the design team!
Joe Hall
14th June 2010 10:13am
Detergent should be used sparingly and preferably non-bio, if you really want to care for the jacket. Also make sure you don't wash it above 30 degrees C. No tumble drying or dry cleaning either please!!

New Group Caters To Young Professionals In Odessa
By: Shelby Levins
Updated: January 23, 2013
The Young Professionals of Odessa is a new organization and a program of the Odessa Chamber of Commerce.
Y.P.O. is set to hold its first membership mixer from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM on Thursday, January 24th at South Forty. Organizers say the membership mixer will be a casual, come-and-go event.
The organization is open to any young adults between 22 and 40 years old in the Permian Basin.
"We intend to create a place to create business relationships, to network, as well as give back to the community and also to develop leadership skills," said Jeff Meyers, the Sports Sales Specialist with the Odessa Chamber of Commerce.
A planning committee was formed by the Odessa Chamber last fall to create Y.P.O.

This is my 7th year teaching - and I love what I do! My experience includes both first and second grade as well as academic enrichment/GATE teacher for grades first through sixth. I returned to second grade in 2010 and I've been loving every minute of it! Second graders are wonderful!
I love a buzzing, hands-and-minds-on classroom - and I'm not afraid of a little bit of chaos! I love when my students are talking and problem solving together. I use many different models of instruction -- but I like it best when my students are in charge of their learning. I work to provide the opportunity for 'ah ha!' moments. I love The Daily Five framework for literacy and Cognitively Guided Instruction for mathematics.

At the heart of the drama is Sam played by Melissa George (The Slap, In Treatment), a highly skilled operative for an elite private intelligence firm who survives an attempt on her life that may have been orchestrated by members of her own team. Once she returns to the firm, she performs her secretive duties without knowing who to trust and who wants her dead.
Adam Rayner (Hawthorne, Mistresses) plays Sam's colleague at the firm and love interest. The dedicated and complex members of the firm operate in the shadows, must often confront life and death situations on secret missions and are sometimes unaware of who or what they are fighting for.
Additional cast includes Stephen Dillane (Game Of Thrones), Morven Christie (The Sinking Of The Laconia) Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje (Lost, Strike Back), Lex Shrapnel (Captain America: The First Avenger), Uriel Emil (Criminal Justice), Patrick Malahide (Five Days, Billy Elliot), Stephen Campbell Moore (The Bank Job, History Boys) and Oscar Kennedy (Toast).

Tommorrow the Tokyo Game Show kicks off, the last major gaming event of the year straight out of Japan.
And to start off, we already have two big topics: http://kotaku.com/5365493/lets-elect...ess-conference First off, EA games is presenting a surprise press conference before the show, click that box to see it (It works kinda like somthing I posted from G4tv.com: The reporter will live blog everything as it's shown since they won't allow video filming) http://kotaku.com/5365361/alienware-...ndation-at-tgs Second, computer manufacturer AlienWare promises to kick gamer's asses with somthing special. No word yet on what it is, but I'm guessing it's a very high tech processor. Same with the other gaming events, give your opinions and thoughts and I'll keep bringing you news from TGS. Edit: Alienware has shown us their new wares, super expensive and super powerful laptop computers, supposedly the best in the world. http://kotaku.com/5365962/alienwares...so-very-pretty Take a look and see if any of them interest you.

Last week at work was filled with: compiling moodboards for our newest lookbook, booking the perfect models, planning all the outfits, editing the outfits, talking with marketing and buyers about the shoot, AND lastly actually shooting the lookbook! PHEW. Did you get all of that?? There were a lot of ups & downs, stress and laughs..but in the end, our team pulled it off and the end result looks AMAZE. The best feeling is seeing your work paying off in the end, and I'm so proud of myself. It definitely was a challenge styling "Streetwear" but I took it with full force and had the best time mixing and matching different colors and prints together. Here is the full DJPremium Streetwear Lookbook that I styled! Enjoy

Wild Wanderings Blog – June 7, 2012
Hello ya'll! Warm greetings from the great Smoky Mountains:)) The greenery and biodiversity here is almost beyond words. Western North Carolina is a great place to be indeed. Aside from my busy teaching schedule, I've been collecting and creating a vast photo library of wild plants, many of which (featured in my blogs…past, present and future) I hope will inspire you to follow suit. The moon has been magnificent as of late and has spurred my desire to bathe in the moonlight yet once again. Walking quietly through the woods at night is one of my favorite things to do. Flashlights, by the way, are not allowed…
This week I decided to shift gears a bit and embellish upon an exercise I teach often. It's a simple exercise, but is profoundly powerful. I call it a "sit spot", or "secret place" when I teach it to children. Here's the concept. Find a slightly out of the way place on your property, or perhaps at a nearby park and simply sit down, relax and just observe. You can even bring a chair if you'd like, though I suggest you sit on the ground. It does make a difference:)
You should visit your "sit spot" several times a week (daily is the ideal of course:) if possible. This discipline will allow you to get to know one area intimately. Most of us think we know our property pretty well, but this exercise might just change your mind. If you have the discipline to do this for an entire year, you'll be amazed at what you'll discover and experience. Not only will you encounter and glean knowledge about the local wildlife, but your awareness and knowledge of plants and insects will increase dramatically as you experience the changing of the seasons.
I've been doing this on and off for almost thirty years and have no intention of stopping. It's too much fun and quite honestly, I find it rather healing. It helps me balance the hustle and bustle of my daily routine. I'd suggest doing this a minimum of 45-60 minutes each visit, but longer is better. I've sat in the woods for an entire day more than once. The longer you sit the more you'll experience. The more you experience, the more you'll learn. Don't be surprised if you learn some interesting things about yourself during the process as well :) Most of us can't sit still for even a few minutes. Remember, this is for everyone and I've found that this is a great lesson for children. Oh yes…they'll resist at first, but once they start to really see things they'll actually look forward to it. It teaches them patience…and that, is always a good thing. You might not believe it's the same kid after a few weeks!
I've been fortunate to experience a multitude of animals including bobcats, coyotes, fox, numerous deer, newborn fawns, raccoons, opossums, skunks, mink and turkeys. I even had a squirrel climb up my leg once. A bit unnerving but exciting!
Here are some important points to remember:
Relax and quiet your mind…balancing your checkbook isn't important now.
Try not to fidget - keep your noise to a minimum.
Sit as still as possible - when you look around turn your head slowly.
If you see or hear an animal nearby don't move - animals see movement.
Animals are naturally curious - let them come to you.
Look at everything around you - especially things you think you already know.
Soak it all in - naps BTW are considered acceptable behavior:)
Give thanks - Nature is an important part of you.
Remember to visit your place often, and at different times of the day if possible. You may discover that even on slow days, when nothing much seems to be happening, your "Sit Spot" is just a great place to BE.
As always, I welcome your thoughts and input. Please consider joining a group I started called "Traditional / Primitive Living Skills" and I do encourage you to ask questions and contribute.
In Wildness,
Richard Cleveland lives in Asheville, NC. He is the founder and director of Earth School. A self-trained Naturalist, fishing and nature guide, he has taught traditional native skills to thousands of people, of all ages. For info about his programs visit www.LoveTheEarth.com
Beautiful post and great advice!!
So well said. And when I can't get away, I have a spot at home, closed off on three sides with fire wood seven feet high, where I can do the same. The open side has field, wild birds and a mountian view, and my bees live there too - coming and going, paying not a lick of attention to me. And yes, I do give thanks!! Peace and quiet is a rare commodity.

Smart Woman: Sleep Apnea Device
By: Victor Sotelo
Updated: May 7, 2012
The 69 year old has severe sleep apnea and hasn't been able to get a good night's sleep for most of his life.
The condition deprives him of oxygen, putting him at risk of cardiovascular disease and leaving him constantly exhausted.
His snoring interrupted his wife's sleep for 17 years.
Arthur Chill first tried to treat his sleep apnea with a CPAP mask. It forces air through the nose and into the throat. But it doesn't work for everyone.
Authur Chill said, "It's very obtrusive. I felt like I was an astronaut."
So doctors gave him these new, tiny nostril valves called Provent.
They generate the same type of pressure to the throat but they're generating with their own breathing by using this device.
When patients inhale, the valves inside the nostril open, allowing for unobstructed air flow.
When they exhale, the values close, partially restricting airflow, maintaining pressure in the airway and keeping the throat open.
Provent only works for patients who breathe through their noses.
Dr. Jeffrey Barasch said, "It tends to be more successful in patients who have milder sleep apnea or people who just snore."
But it's working in chill's severe case.
Chill said, "I'm refreshed in the morning and I don't have the fear of a heart attack happening."
And that's allowing Chill and his wife to enjoy their days and nights together.
Provent is not covered by most insurance companies, but the device makers are working to change that. Without insurance, each disposable Provent runs about a dollar.

GREENSBORO--Rising high school freshman are learning what it takes to be a crime scene investigator.
"Exposing them to forensic sciences and exposing them to practices that forensic scientists might have to use," said Middle College at UNG teacher Sean Reaves.
Reaves says the goal of the "CSI Camp" is to get gifted STEM students to think critically.
"To explore evidence, ask questions. To solve a crime scene," said Reaves.
"I enjoyed learning about and figuring out who the suspects are and different blood types, it's interesting and fun," said student Brianna Kendrick.
Students are also exploring the physics behind blood splatter, which can often be critical evidence in solving crimes.
"The velocity, heights, how blood reacts when it hits a surface," said Reaves.
"It makes you think about what you want to be when you're older," said Kendrick.
These students are future investigators, ready to make a difference.

There are few things I loathe more than triteness. Every time I hear a slogan, headline, or witticism that I've already heard countless times before, I die a little inside. Change the words around at least and make it your own. How often have you read "trickle-down technology," "game changer," or other such things in a product review?
Like every other Sound+Vision writer, I've seen a lot of 3D TV. But I never saw so much 3D TV as I did last night, when I walked into South, Los Angeles' first 3D sports bar. Everywhere I looked, I could see a Vizio flat-panel TV showing 3D programming—sports mostly, of course, but also games and a couple of Blu-ray Discs.
You know the story: an unscrupulous robe maker tells the king how wonderful his new, expensive, invisible robe is, king believes it, and king shows his butt to the world. A timeless tale that gets repeated over and over. And maybe a new version has just surfaced.
For a time, there was Kuro, and Kuro was king. Kuro made other TVs envious of its awesomeness. Then. . . there was no Kuro. TV reviewers wept; everyone else bought LCDs. Under-intelligenced "pundits" foretold the end of plasma TVs — but Panasonic, Samsung, and LG quietly coughed and politely said, "Umm, we still make plasmas."
While Panasonic plasmas traditionally excel on the picture-quality front, they've lagged a bit behind other flat-panel TVs when it comes to style. Take last year's VT25 series. The picture on those sets was hard to fault (the 50-incher we reviewed won our 2010 Video Product of the Year award), but when positioned alongside new, ultra-slim plasmas from companies like Samsung, the Panasonic's 3-inch panel depth and thick gloss-black bezel rendered it caveman-like by comparison.
Perhaps it was because I wasn't paying attention, but I didn't expect a lot of big projector news to come out of this show. Yeah, I was wrong.
Doing its part to bring cutting-edge theatrical digital projection technology to a price point that's still hazy but should at least be less thanstratospheric, Sony announced the VPL-VW1000ES projector — the first of its 4K capable SXRD units to be aimed at the home market.
Well, it looks like another major manufacturer has followed Optoma's lead in bringing the cost of 3D projection down to a reasonable figure.
A couple of weeks ago, I dropped by an active/passive 3D TV shootout held by LG as part of their effort to publicize the benefits of their passive 3D approach over competing active-shutter systems. LG has survey research data showing that some 80 percent of viewers choose their passive 3D system over any of their competitors' active sets, when asked about color, picture quality, brightness, and comfort of glasses. Format war over?
Back at CES 2011, Toshiba had promised to get a glasses-free 3D TV set of reasonable size to market by 2012, and true to their word the company rolled out a 55-inch model, the ZL2, today at Berlin's IFA consumer electronics show.
While 3D movies haven't totally taken over the multiplex, the format remains a force to be reckoned with. Michael Bay just released a new Transformers installment in 3D (Transformers: Dark of the Moon), James Cameron is at work on Avatar sequels, and the entire Star Wars saga is being formatted for 3D release.
For anyone into ultra-low-budget home theater, yesterday was one of the greatest days ever. That's because Optoma announced the HD33, which cuts the minimum price for a 3D home theater projector by 67%.

Bob Seger will make a rare prime time TV appearance tonight on NBC's The Voice. Do you watch this show at all? Seger will perform with the Swon Brothers, who are competing in the show. Only 3 contestants remain, and other stars on tonight's episode include One Republic and Hunter Hayes. The Swon Brothers performed "Turn The Page" last week and it became a top 10 iTunes download for the week. It was with that song that the relationship between Seger and the show started, and they invited him to appear. The classic rocker is off the road after a spring tour that brought him to Tacoma in March. Read more >>

According to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), every year 1.3 billion tonnes of food is wasted. This is equivalent to the same amount produced in the whole of sub-Saharan Africa. At the same time, 1 in every 7 people in the world go to bed hungry and more than 20,000 children under the age of 5 die daily from hunger. Given this enormous imbalance in lifestyles and the resultant devastating effects on the environment, this year's theme – Think.Eat.Save – encourages you to become more aware of the environmental impact of the food choices you make and empowers you to make informed decisions.
Some of the ways we can help reduce our food footprint are things you might do already - buying local and buying organic. Local foods don't have to travel as far, lessening their footprint from fuel and packaging. Organic foods do not use the chemicals that can hurt our environment. Have you considered your food footprint ever? What did you do to reduce it? Read more >> Find more ways to live sustainably on The Mountain's 1THING blog >>
The songs on "The Last Ship" were written to advance the play's plot, and so they hew to story-telling needs. The title song is a waltz-time folk tune, heavy with Christian imagery and told in a Northern English dialect. It freights the launching of the last ship from the yard with spiritual significance. Another song, "And Yet," is a jazzy funk number, sung from the point of view of a sailor arriving in his home port and wondering about a woman he left behind. "Dead Man's Boots," meanwhile, is a tense dialogue between a father who works in the shipyard and a son who wants to do something else with his life.

The origin of the Silkie hen is uncertain although they have been around for several hundred years. It is thought that they originated in India, China or Japan and they arrived in Europe around 200 years ago where they were sold as crosses between rabbits and chickens! They are a lightweight chicken with a broad, stout looking body which is covered in fine fluffy feathers. They have short, rather ragged looking tails and the head is short and neat with an upright and full crest. The beak is short and broad, the face smooth and the eyes black and bright. The comb is circular and described as a mulberry comb and the wattles are concave, semi circular and not particularly long. The legs are purplish blue in colour and they have a fifth toe.
Silkies do tend towards broodiness and make wonderful mothers despite being rather poor layers. They are calm, friendly, trusting and rather lively birds which are unable to fly so can be kept with very low fencing and they also do very little damage to the garden. They begin laying around Christmas when the hen will happily sit on a clutch of eggs and will still go broody even if her eggs are removed! Silkies are frequently used as foster mothers for other hen\'s eggs. They stop laying altogether during the summer months. They don\'t have waterproof feathers so they need to be kept in dry conditions but require little room so can be kept in smaller runs. They are rather susceptible to scaly leg but are robust little chickens and can withstand the cold very well. The black skinned and black boned silkie is considered a delicacy in China where they believe that the ground up bones have special healing properties. They have a lifespan of around 9 years and can be tamed and considered a real pet which makes them especially suitable for children.

This is the most beautiful breed of chicken in the world ! It is not the most productive egg-layer in the world , but if you are not too bothered about having mountains of eggs it is totally worth it.? They do not dig up your garden(no Omlet fencing necessary!)
I'm proud to say my parents were ahead of the urban chicken farming trend Salt Lake City. We kept a flock of white silkies and they were delightful to raise. We kids had a hand in all aspects of raising them-- gathering eggs, cleaning the coop, giving them food and water, and even butchering them when we got too many roosters in a brood. We let them run free-range in the yard & garden. They helped control the garden pests and weeds. I think we only had to protect the peas and lettuces from them. They seemed quite docile-- the rooster was appropriately protective but not aggressive. Best eggs & chicken meat I've ever had when they get to be free-range, though they are bantams & thus, not particularly meaty. Their skins are a shocking shade of dark purple! (but my parents always skinned them before cooking them)
I got a flock of Silkies almost a year ago now and I have already lost 3. They are so attention seeking, friendly and adorable yet are very prone to diseases. Their egg production is very low as only a couple of them actually lay and some go broody for very long periods of time. They are just so cute to be around but are definitely not a hardy breed. Don't be fooled by the cuteness!
I have four silkies (two small black and two big partridge). They are lovely pets, they chat to me when I am in the garden, they run to the back door if they think I will open it, they cause no damage to the garden and they cannot fly. They are frightened of everything (they hide behind my elderly rabbit when they see a cat). They live very happily, running around the garden with my rabbit (but can be bad tempered when they are broody). Egg laying is very hit and miss - they lay for a few weeks, then get broody for weeks and it takes ages for them to get back to laying. Certainly, four chickens cannot provide enough eggs for two of us. However, the eggs are incredibly rich and creamy in comparison to other free ranging chickens.
Howdy! I have had at least 10 and they are so cute and friendly! they do good around children,and the roosters are vary calm and laid back. They don't lay eggs regularly like some other breeds,they only lay eggs when they want to. I have never had any eggs yet(being that my dog got them all before they started to lay). I love them to pieces...well maybe not that well considering that i love my horses much much more,. I do want to start showing them in 4-H soon. I think they are good starter chickens if ya don't want eggs that much.
