A 60 Second Guide To: Cycling Jerseys
Thursday, 29th Aug 2013
Originally designed as a piece of performance wear, the humble cycling jersey has grown to represent over a century of stories and tales.
The designs symbolise a moment in time - a particular team, a significant race, an epic battle, a sporting hero. Some jerseys become iconic and sought after pieces of memorabilia, earning themselves a place in the 'hall of design classics'.
Jersey design has continuously developed over the years, team sponsorship alongside technological advances in materials have both played a part in the evolution - however some features remain unchanged.
Typically the back hem is scooped, to help keep the rider's back covered whilst bent over in racing position. The back of the shirt also features a combination of fastened and open pockets - it would be no good having them on the front of the body as the contents would fall out mid-ride. A long zip fastening to the front can be opened to allow for ventilation.
The cuts are traditionally slim and long, helping to reduce air resistance and allowing the fabric to 'perform'; wicking the moisture it needs to sit close to the skin. Sponsors will use a combination of print, embroidery or applique to showcase their names - colours, panels and tipping combinations become synonymous with specific teams.
During the late 1950s, jerseys worn by road riding style icons such as Tom Simpson and Jacques Anquetil made their way from performance wear to streetwear. Slim fitting and full of continental allure, the designs held huge appeal for the jazz loving modernists of that time. The fact that many of the shirts were crafted in merino wool was an added bonus – the breathable fabric was perfect for keeping fresh after a spot of all night dancing. Designs from this period have long continued to be a mainstay of the mod casual wardrobe.
This season's Bradley Wiggins Collection characteristically references jerseys from the Golden Age of cycling. Elements of vintage shirts are explored and blended with signature Fred Perry details, twin tipping colours lifted into colour block panels, a champion inspired stripe knitted into cuffs. Bradley has been involved in each and every stage of the design process, bringing his own ideas, inspirations and style and in turn, each shirt in the collection comes to to tell a story.

Gran Sport Scooters - SX200 Update
Thursday, 22nd Nov 2012
You may remember from our earlier chat with Gran Sport Scooters, that the team are currently working on a very special restoration project. After sourcing an SX200 Lambretta, we asked Fred Perry collaborator Bradley Wiggins to choose his own spec for the scooter to be refurbished to.
The scooter has had its original paintwork completely stripped, followed by soft blasting of the metal to create a smooth surface. Each part has then been carefully repainted, before the scooter is finished with specially designed decal stickers. Stay tuned to see the finished scooter, coming soon.

A Chat with Gran Sport Scooters
Thursday, 4th Oct 2012
Based in Birmingham, Gran Sport Scooters started life in 1995, founded by the combined knowledge of a rich wealth of passionate individuals and talented mechanics from the midlands and beyond. We met with current team member and talented mechanic Danny Turner to discuss the history of the business, the scooter scene today and a very special restoration project.
I was 10 in 1982 when my skinhead uncle came home with a Betamax copy of Quadrophenia, it blew me away - that was it really - within a week I had a parka, a white Fred Perry and a pair of brown desert boots, job done! When the clock struck midnight on my 16th birthday I got on my Vespa to take it for its 1st ride out, mum and dad were outside to wave me off and then I heard this rumble of scooters coming down my street and I was greeted by 15 other Mods on scooters. Dezl (Derek Askill) had secretly organised his mates to surprise me and take me on my own first ride out and that was the best ride out I've ever had; amazing feeling, I had waited 6 years for that day. I was a tad emotional. Most of the ride outs in the 80s early 90s were my favourite times as well there would be some times between 20 to 40 scooters all going to the Isle of Wight, Hastings, Great Yarmouth, Scarborough, Blackpool etc. The Tony Class CCI rallies were the rallies to do back then, these were all long journeys when riding a 60s scooter that didn't do more than 55 miles an hour - but looking good was most important.
The Modernist and Scooter scene at the moment has a healthy and dedicated following, and is now starting to draw in the younger generation; which can only be a good thing, as new blood to the scene means that this passion for all things Mod and scooterist will go on for years to come. There is still a strong movement of diehard Mods, I know this being one myself, but in general the whole scooterist scene has a blend of everything in the mix these days, if you ever go to a scooter rally there is a whole cross section of fashions there.
Many of our customers use their 60s scooters for work and play, and most of them can use a spanner and don't mind keeping them up to scratch if they break down. A lot of our friends and customers have two scooters or more, usually a classic Vespa or Lambretta and then they have the good old classic PX/T5 as these are tried and tested reliable scooters for everyday use. The most popular Lambretta models are the TV 200, SX 200, GP 200 and TV 2 and 1 being as popular as ever but almost any unrestored Lambretta's in original paint are becoming increasingly desirable. The Vespa models that we are most often asked for are SS180, GS160, SS90 and GS150 - all of these models are very sought after and are at the top of everyone's wish list at the moment. Original 60s accessories, rare or otherwise, seem to be the most popular way of adding that 'individual' element to their pride and joy at the moment, I know of lots of people who have paid hundreds of pounds for one little item just so they can have that finishing touch to the their scooter. Vigano and Ulma accessories being most sought after.All our restorations are memorable because each customer wants something a little different (and better than the one before), it's a bit like the mod ethos of wanting to be an individual I suppose.
We pride ourselves on being precise and trying to be a little more patient with the scooters we build, it takes a long time to build a restoration as some of our customers will happily tell you, but it's the finished item that counts, we use as many original parts as possible and only use the best remade parts available (Casa Lambretta being the best) after all, you are advertising your restoration and word of mouth on the streets is a great tool to have on your side! At some point in the 80s everyone who worked at Gran Sport has been a Mod at one point so yes we are all into the scene, some in a small way and some still in a big way giving us the ability to advise our customers from personal experience. Many of the original members of the Gran Sports team have gone on to specialise and continue to be major players in the classic scooter business. Derek Askill is a legend on the Mod scene and the major contributor to our reputation for the highest quality restorations and iconic Gran Sport specials. Other original members include Jason White, ex of Classically Italian, Nathan Warriner, ex of Rimini Lambretta. Not forgetting the long standing and current line-up: Jason White, Jon Sillitoe, Ashley Phipps, Danny Turner (myself) and Gary who juggles the numbers.
Quite a few costumers let us have a free rein on their restoration, as they want a bit of a Gran Sport touch and want to make sure they're not making the wrong suggestions. We always question SOME of their ideas if we think that something wouldn't look right and try and give them our honest opinion. Nine times out of ten they go with what we think is best - and this seems to work! As a company, we have sponsored many events including Midlandscooters.com and a variety of local scooter club do's, the most recent being for a Mod friend of ours who lives in Vietnam that contracted a paralysing illness. A friend and I organised a fund raising night for him and raised over £3,000 to help with his medical bills, this was helped by friends, many customer donations and from friends and Gran Sport itself.
There's a big Mod movement in Tokyo and we have sent many scooters over there, and we have also sent restored scooters to Spain, America and Australia. We've supplied scooters to a few famous faces; top Mod Steve Cradock of Ocean Colour Scene has purchased many Lambrettas from us (Lambretta series 2, LD, Special, TV175 and a PX 200) so has Simon (Lambretta Silver Special) and Damien (Vespa PX 200). We supplied two Lambrettas for a Paul Weller competition, one was done with the Wild Wood theme and one with the Stanley Road theme, and we've also hired scooters out to Goodwood Revival and even some film and advertising work, including a few music videos from Ocean Colour Scene to UB40. Over the years we have had the likes of Bobby Gillespie from Primal Scream and Mani from the Stone Roses pop in, who are both big fans of the scooter world.
The 'lights and mirrors' scooter fashion for Mods came about by the late 50s early 60s by scooter enthusiasts of the day. There would be meetings and scooter rallies held for an older and younger generation of scooter owners, that would enter their scooters into custom shows and put accessories on them to make them more interesting and to individualize their model. When the Mods then started to appear on the streets, a lot of them were purchasing second hand Lambretta's and Vespa's with all these little shiny accessories on, and so to make them their own they then added to them again by borrowing spot lights off cars and the odd mirror, then I guess it escalated from there with other things they could lay their hands on!
The inspiration for my own lights and mirrors Lambretta was the front cover of the book Mods! by Richard Barnes. I was also influenced by two local Birmingham Mods, Philip Ford and Colin Bunn. They had scooters to die for being a young Mod - they were covered in lights mirrors and chrome accessories and I wanted to beat them and wanted a more 60's feel to mine but still over the top. I still own the Lambretta but I have de-modded it, as I think the Mod movement is a youth movement and as time goes on I feel you have to tame it down a bit if you're going to carry on with the style, I feel this also goes with Mod clothes element too, you can spot an old Mod miles away, they have still got that cool style but less over the top should I say!
The SX200 is a classic model with fine slim line detail, this is the model to have if you want a Lambretta, they are extremely sought after and will not or should not come cheap, (unless you find one in a old fella's back garden) as some of us have been lucky enough to do in the past! When purchasing a Lambretta SX or any classic scooter it's good to have as much history for the scooter as possible, do your homework, there is a huge amount of info on the LCGB website and if you're not sure consult your local, or a reputable scooter shop they will be happy to advise.
Gran Sport Scooters are currently restoring the SX200 shown above to a custom spec chosen by Bradley Wiggins. Over the next few months, we'll be showing the scooter in its various stages of refurbishment before it's presented to Bradley on completion. Stay tuned for further updates.

PLAYERS: Danica Patrick, Mike Bliss, Paulie Harraka, Austin Dillon, Timmy Hill, Brad Keselowski, Michael Annett, Elliott Sadler, Justin Allgaier, Cole Whitt, Brendan Gaughan, Ricky Stenhouse, Ricky Stenhouse Jr.
Danica Patrick avoided the drama and crashes to salvage a 10th-place finish in the Nationwide Series race at Phoenix International Raceway on Saturday. For Patrick, it was a career-high finish on the one-mile track and her 10th top-10 showing of the season. Patrick, who qualified 14th earlier in the day, complained of her brakes vibrating in the early laps. Although she dropped to 16th in the first circuit, the first of 10 cautions on Lap 2 immediately slowed the pace. By Lap 10, Patrick felt "the car coming to her" and 10 laps later she was battling veteran Mike Bliss for position. Spotter Tab Boyd reminded Patrick to "stay cool." "I know he's hard-headed," Boyd added as she made the pass. "Even though that guy held us up, the leader isn't that far gone." By the second caution on Lap 31, Patrick reported the car was "a little bit bouncy and loose starting off. ... Now I feel just a tiny bit tight getting into the bottom. What's up with this brake situation? They're vibrating, pulsating a lot." She entered the pits in 15th, and crew chief Ryan Pemberton opted for left-side tires only. Patrick was 11th on the Lap 37 restart and lost one spot again. Boyd reminded her to keep digging on the bottom of the track. In three laps, Patrick returned to the top 10. "Beautiful," Boyd said. "Just like that." Patrick was "still concerned" with how her brakes were reacting on Lap 48 and eventually allowed Sam Hornish Jr. to pass her for position 14 laps later. When John Blankenship spun on Lap 70, Patrick was still running 11th. The team opted for a four-tire pit stop. "I was pumping the brakes through every braking zone," Patrick said. "Something feels really weird, like when I turn the wheel it turns too much. It's (expletive) weird." Patrick restarted 16th on Lap 75 and gained three positions in the next five laps. "That's kick-ass right there," Boyd said. "Pulling away." "It's a mess out here," Patrick replied. "That's why you're going to be disciplined through the corner," Boyd responded. But nine laps later, the pace was slowed again when Paulie Harraka spun in Turn 4. Patrick restarted ninth on Lap 94 and again lost positions as the field went back to racing. By Lap 97, the No. 7 GoDaddy Chevrolet dropped to 12th. Three laps later, Austin Dillon passed her on the inside for position, which sent Patrick on a tear. Over the next eight circuits, she picked up two positions, prompting Boyd to radio, "Damn good job." When Dillon passed her again on Lap 116, Patrick radioed: "I know the 3 is fast, but he's going to make mistakes." Six laps later, Noel Dowler ignited the sixth caution. Patrick told the crew to "pull more tape" on the next pit stop while Pemberton called for a left-side tire change and a chassis adjustment. Patrick restarted ninth on Lap 124, dropped to 10th over the next two laps and dealt with Brian Scott blocking her over the next five laps. After she was able to pass him for ninth place, Boyd promised "a little fresh track" ahead. But Patrick developed a loose condition. On Lap 135, Pemberton told Patrick she had the fastest car on the track. Her progress was slowed again when Timmy Hill spun on Lap 148. "I'm a little faster. I just can't roll it the way I want to," Patrick said. The team contemplated stopping, but Patrick reminded the team that "position is huge from here," and she remained on the track as three cars ahead opted to pit and she was able to restart a race-high sixth on Lap 153. "Do what you've been doing," Boyd suggested. "Stay after it, but be disciplined." Patrick went high out of the groove on the restart. As Brad Keselowski was shuffled out up front, she dropped back to seventh but gained one position when Hornish spun to bring out the seventh caution on Lap 156. Patrick found herself three-wide on the restart lap with Dillon and Michael Annett and fell back to eighth. In six laps, Patrick was 13th and dropped to 16th by Lap 165. Again, Dillon became her catalyst and Patrick went on the attack. "The 3 is all over the place," Patrick said before gaining three spots over the next five laps. "It's not bad," Patrick said. "It's a little tight in the center, but track position is so big." The team opted to pit for four tires and a splash of fuel. Although Patrick restarted 19th, Pemberton told her to "use them up here." From the restart on Lap 183 to 186, Patrick gained four positions. She moved up to 14th on Lap 188, and Boyd reminded Patrick that every car is a spot. Dowler caused a second caution on Lap 190. After five laps under yellow, Boyd warned Patrick to "get ready for anything here." But he couldn't have predicted the game changer that occurred nine laps later, when the series point leader Elliott Sadler became overly aggressive with Justin Allgaier and Cole Whitt and collected Brendan Gaughan in the process. After a 10-minute red-flag period, Patrick rolled off 13th on Lap 202 for an overtime shootout. She gained three positions throughout the green-white-checkered finish. "Nice move, 10th place," Boyd said. "Way to get after it there. We need more of those," Pemberton said. "We'll keep working on it here, and let's give them hell next week." "Thanks, guys," Patrick replied. "That was definitely the strongest race I've had on this racetrack, so thank you. Thank you for the coaching." Patrick remains 10th in the Nationwide Series driver points. Ricky Stenhouse Jr., who finished third, took over the points lead from Sadler. Sadler was scored 22nd and trails Stenhouse by 20 points. Sixth-place finisher Dillon also remains in the title hunt with just the season finale remaining at Homestead-Miami Speedway next weekend. He's 25 points behind Stenhouse.

The circus has come to town!
And it's the clown, jokes Greg May, who is running the business.
A Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Clown College graduate and former member of its circus troupe, May is the clown in question, and the Center Ring Circus School is his own arena.
Raised in Columbia, the Hammond High School alumnus is the son of community pioneers Betty (a swim, dance and theater instructor) and the late Dr. Gerald (a theologian, psychiatrist, author and possessor of a "sense of humor every bit as wacky as his circus clown son") May. The combination explains a lot.
After a half-dozen years clowning around and instructing kids in the same at the community center in Greenbelt, May has expanded the show in an innocuous-looking office park on Oak Hall Lane, just past the Columbia post office.
But inside is a menagerie of fun. There are circus posters, rainbow mats, giant rubber balls, and gorgeous jewel-hued fabric dangling 17 feet. These are the tools for aspiring jugglers, stilt walkers, unicyclists, plate spinners and trapeze artists.
And it's here where May says he gets "to play for a living."
It's not as though the former professional hasn't put in his dues, however. When he was in the ring, he points out: "I fell down for a living. … One of my jobs was falling off a 12-foot ladder 13 times a week."
So, now May and his staff (including his mother) share their talents with children and adults alike through classes in circus arts, aerial arts and gymnastics, along with summer camps and birthday parties.
Circus school is much more than goofing around. There's value in skills like agility, balance, teamwork, hand-eye coordination, public presentation, creativity and -- let's not overlook -- how to slip on a banana peel without getting hurt.
"It's geared to kids, but Greg makes sure that adults get to do activities, too, not just spot their children," says Dawn Popp of Elkridge, a drama student of Betty May's back when and now enrolled at Center Ring with her 6-year-old daughter, Maria.
In the acrobatics session they partner up, with kids standing on parents' shoulders or creating a carousel with adults forming a circle while kids sit on their linked hands.
"It's good one-on-one time with your child," adds Popp.
Lisa Losito is not yet ready to try it herself, but her daughter, Juniper, 11, has gone from summer camp to advanced level and the performance team, says the Ellicott City mom as Juniper skillfully twists fabric and feet, posing gracefully.
The art of clowning appeals to all ages -- that's why May offers classes for kids, teens and adults.
After a couple of months, Howard Community College student K-li Westhaver, clad in a T-shirt proclaiming "BALANCE," announces, "I never thought I could walk across a tightrope, and now I sort of can!"
Many adult students opt for the Aerial Arts and Fitness program, and here's one reason why: When May trained to become an aerial arts instructor, he reports, he lost 40 pounds.
"In the beginning, people love the fabric," May says of the twisting and flowing substance for climbing and posing.
Despite being a tad afraid of heights, Columbia fitness enthusiast Erin Harrison scaled her bright fabric column and accomplished a circus trick known as a "Gazelle" on her very first coupon-inspired visit.

I've had an idea. We do see lots of similar photos on here damsels, kingfishers, moody filtered landscapes, robins, moons etc so how about I set a challenge for you to photograph the unphotographed? (or at least a photo/style/subject that has never appeared on ePHOTOzine)
Normally in these forum style comps you'd have 24 hours to shoot, but I'll give you until Friday evening.
Take a photo between now and Friday, post it up in the gallery on Friday and put a link to it from here. Keep it clean!
Then, over the weekend, members can rack their brains to remember if they've seen a similar photo uploaded on ePHOTOzine galleries in the past and if you can find one the new entry is disqualified.
I'll pick a winner on Monday.
No prize just a bit of fun.
Stop having "ideas" Pete, and get on with the book (I'd like my copy before Christmas).
How on earth do I get to the dark side of the moon and back before friday?
Could be fun, I'm up for it.
This is a good idea - gets people looking at the gallery more.
Recently I've been having a detailed look at the dedicated XPan Gallery and discovered many excellent images, some were loaded before I joined and therefore been missed
Anyway THIS is the closest I can find so far.
Alas, have not got the time to go through 14,500+ pages each week !
I'm still thinking.... most things have been done, but there must still be something....somewhere...
Ooh I like this... (wanders off in search of thinking cap)
Quote: Here's my entry to get things going...I challenge you to find anything like it on ePHOTOzine!
Pete that's disqualified, there are already loads of out of focus shots on here. :0)

Discover Adionomy, Your Online Radio Advertising Campaign, Fast, Easy and Custom-Made!
When the Randy Rogers Band's last project debuted as the most-downloaded country album on iTunes, plenty of the industry "insiders" on Music Row were left scratching their heads: Who are these guys? The Nashville elite may not have known about the five-piece band, but much of America already did. Rolling Stone magazine ranked them alongside such artists as U2 and the Stones in its list of Top 10 Must-See Artists in the summer of 2007. They earned $2.5 million—a staggering total for a still-developing act—on the tour circuit in a single year.

Comments about Kala Solid Top Fretless Acoustic Electric U-Bass:
Not much to say: if you are a bass or double bass player, and you are tired of dragging around your huge instrument, this is the top choice. Of course you can't compare the sound to a real double bass, but for everything that requires an acoustic sound and doesn't necessarily imply the use of the bow, the sound is as near as you can get to the real thing. Plus, it is super easy to play. I got the fretless and even if I was a little worried about intonation on such a small instrument, I have to say there is absolutely no problem, especially when you get used to it. Now I am using it for reharsals, jam sessions and concert in places too small to be comfortable with a double bass, and I really have to say it is awesome. It goes alone that you have anyway to match a good amplifier, the piezos on the istrument do a great job.
I have only one little con to express, but I can't tell if it is because the strings are new: strings don't stay perfectly in tune for too long, so now and then during a session I have to tune the instrument...but hey, it is definitely worth it.

Comments about Kala Solid Top Fretless Acoustic Electric U-Bass:
Being an electrical (fretted) bassist, the acoustic fretless ubass has a new and exciting sound. I only played it a few days. Its sound is rich and groovy. Preamp and tuner work well. It gets out of tune pretty quickly, maybe because the strings are new. The gig bag is excellent. MF service was excellent, too.

Comments about Kala Solid Top Fretless Acoustic Electric U-Bass:
Great bass, lots of fun to play. I already have an Ashbory, so small scale and non-traditional strings aren't new to me. I've only had it a couple of days, but it is definitely easier to play than the Ashbory, the longer scale length and less-rubbery strings make a big difference. If you've ever played baritone uke this is almost exactly the same scale. Tone is great, I had to tweak it a little bit plugged in - the higher notes were coming through a little louder than the lows, but nothing a little EQ didn't cure. Lots of fun for playing acoutically while practicing/messing around, but there's not enough acoustic volume to hold up to playing with others. However, I'm not aware that any acoutic bass has enough volume to go head to head with a guitar. Build quality is very good, haven't noticed any flaws. There's not a gloss finish or anything, the wood feels a little bare, but the wood is of a quality where this is fine, at least aesthically. The gig bag works well.

Join us this Thursday, February 14 at noon in the Teplitz Moot Courtroom to hear local public-interest lawyers discuss their public-interest careers, how they got to where they are, and how you can become them one day. Just before 1:30 p.m., we will end the panel discussion and enter the Student Lounge for a reception (that will include lunch) where you can talk to the panelists, exchange business cards, and inquire about possible opportunities. This is a fantastic opportunity for anyone who is considering a public-interest career and/or is looking to meet public-interest professionals in the Pittsburgh area.
Panelists include:
- Patrick Grenter, Executive Director, Center for Coalfield Justice
- Katy McKee, Staff Attorney, Neighborhood Legal Services Association

Prior to coming to Pitt, Rochelle was an attorney in the Indiana Attorney General's office, where part of her job was hiring new lawyers. She will speak about the government hiring process and what she looked for in candidates.
All who attend the panel will receive a packet with the contact information of the organizations involved.

Inguinal Hernia (cont.)
Exams and Tests
The diagnosis of inguinal hernia is usually based on your medical history and a physical exam. Tests such as ultrasound and CT scans are not usually needed to diagnose an inguinal hernia. In most cases, a doctor can identify an inguinal hernia during a physical exam.
An examination of urine (urinalysis) may be done to rule out a urinary tract infection. A urinary tract infection or kidney stone may cause pain in the groin that can be mistaken for hernia pain. Further tests may be done to rule out other conditions that could be contributing to the hernia, such as colon or prostate cancer or lung diseases that cause chronic coughing.
If surgery is planned, other tests may be needed to evaluate the status of any current health problems, such as lung, heart, or bleeding problems.
Treatment Overview
Surgery is the only treatment and cure for inguinal hernia. Hernia repair is one of the most common surgeries done in the United States. About 750,000 people have hernia repairs each year.2
Many doctors recommend surgery to repair a hernia because it prevents strangulation, which occurs when a loop of intestine is trapped tightly in a hernia and the blood supply is cut off, killing the tissue. Strangulation requires immediate surgery, although the condition is rare in adults. Infants and children always need surgery to repair a hernia because of the increased risk of incarceration and strangulation.
If your hernia does not bother you, you may not need to have surgery. Waiting to have surgery does not increase the chance that part of your intestine or abdominal tissue will get stuck in your hernia. Waiting will also not increase your risk for problems, if you decide to have surgery later. In some cases, hernias that are small and painless may never need to be repaired.
Talk with your doctor before wearing a corset or truss for a hernia. These devices are not recommended for treating hernias and sometimes can do more harm than good.
Hernias in children
In a child, a hernia that is incarcerated may be pushed back into the abdomen by a doctor. But surgery is still needed because of the increased risk of strangulation.
What to think about
A surgeon's experience plays an important role in the risk of a hernia recurring. If you are thinking about having hernia surgery, ask the surgeon how many of these surgeries he or she has performed and about his or her recurrence rates. Recurrence rates tend to be higher for surgeries that do not use mesh (a synthetic patch).
Some people with other medical conditions may choose not to have surgery or may not be able to have hernia surgery.

MSU researchers have published their work in the Journal of Women's Health, concluding the book "perpetuates dangerous abuse patterns." Those include stalking, humiliation, threats and intimidation.
"Fifty Shades of Grey" has sold more than 50-million copies worldwide in just two years and is being made into a movie.

"No retreat! No surrender!" The Spartan warrior chant has been my mantra for the past two years as I worked to lose close to 170 pounds from my 5'3" 300 pound frame.
A few months after I had committed to yet another diet and exercise plan, in the fall of 2011 a friend of mine ran a Spartan Sprint in New York and sent me photos of her day. Although crawling through mud under barbed wire is not generally not a favorite past time of most women in their mid-fifties, to me it looked like great fun. I checked the Spartan web site – a race in June 2012 was just fifteen minutes from my front door. I had less than year to get ready. Although decades of morbid obesity and inactivity made standing up without assistance a challenge, from that point onward, I set my sights on Sparta.
I committed to a strict balanced diet, and worked with a remarkable trainer who patiently guided me as I struggled to get fit. By early spring of 2012, I had recruited thirteen friends and neighbors crazy enough to enlist in my fledging team – the Domaine Alarie Spartans. Our beach front – which in years past was the site of family picnics and barbeques – was converted into a Spartan training ground. Weekend after weekend, friends and neighbors crawled on their stomachs under netting, pulled tires through the sand, lifted weights, chucked spears, did endless push ups and pull ups and ran from one end of the beach to the other working on cardio and endurance as they helped me train for the upcoming race.
By race day, I had dropped 125 pounds and in June 2012, the Domaine Alarie Spartans ran the Spartan Sprint in Mont Tremblant, Quebec. This was not just any team, but a remarkable group of friends and neighbors that championed my cause and who supported my every effort to regain my health and my life – even if it meant joining me in my crazy idea to run a Spartan Sprint.
When the Domaine Alarie Spartans ran the last gauntlet on race day last spring, we certainly understood the Spartan slogan "you'll know at the finish line" because indeed we did. We were muddy, bloody and soaked to the skin, but nothing dampened the exhilaration of our journey to Sparta.
Now almost 170 pounds less than when I first set my sites on Sparta in 2011, the Domaine Alarie Spartan team of 2013 is eighteen members strong and will storm the Spartan field in Morin Heights, Quebec on Saturday morning, May 25th. We are leaner than last year, stronger than last year, but with the same Spartan spirit as when we began the journey.
Having been to Sparta and left with a smile, we learned that it was not the finish line that counted, it was what it took to get to the finish line, and the wonderful friendships that were forged along the way.
We are looking forward to race day this coming Saturday. See you at the finish line!
Huh rah Spartans!!

Manufacturers throughout the state are struggling to fill openings, according to the latest round of DEED's Minnesota Hiring Difficulties Survey. Based on a survey of manufacturers last spring, two-thirds of the industry's job openings in Minnesota were classified as hard to fill.
Along with the housing industry, kitchen cabinet manufacturing in central Minnesota is simmering again. Jobs in the 13-county region jumped 27.4 percent from 2010 to 2012, which was more than five times as fast as the state as a whole, which gained 4.8 percent.

On Thursday night Apple pulled Mountain Lion out of a hat. A select number of journalists and bloggers had been given early access to a developer's preview version for about a week and kept them quiet. These lucky ones got to see Apple's next major operating system for the Mac and all of them published their reviews almost at the same time, giving Apple maximum coverage on the web and surprising everyone else.
Unlike in years past, Apple this time did not reveal its upcoming Mac OS X version on stage in front of a large audience with full press coverage. Instead it did things very differently.
As John Gruber noted in his impression of the unveiling, Apple's Phil Schiller told him that Apple was starting to do things differently. Like not giving early access to New York Times for one.
David Pogue was once among Apple's most favored journalists but not this time as Apple shunned the Times for its scathing series of reports on the working conditions of Foxconn's factories in China which made Apple's products.

Hi I'm Hunter
About Me
I'm the son to a mother and father who love me and do everything they can to help me and my two brothers be better. I love to sing, play piano, play guitar, dance,
Why I am a Mormon
When I read the scriptures - the Bible, the Book of Mormon, the Doctrine and Covenants, the Pearl of Great Price, I feel that they are true. I have learned to feel God's Spirit and to love it. I have learned to enjoy receiving truth from God's Spirit and having the Spirit confirm that the scriptures and words of modern prophets are true.
Personal Stories
How does making right choices help us make more right choices?
When we listen to the devil and do what he would want us to do, we run away from God's Spirit. When we do what Christ would do, God's Spirit is with us. When we have God's Spirit, we can more easily recognize whether something is right or wrong and we have God's strength to supplement ours to resist temptations and with God, all things are possible (Matthew 19:26).
In what ways have your prayers been answered?
A friend of mine was afraid about a ballroom dance performance she would soon be in. She was so scared, she said she was glad I wouldn't be going and had asked her family to watch the performance when she wouldn't be doing tricks. I fasted for her to lose this fear and a few weeks later, she told me she was very excited for the performance, so much so that she said I was missing out by not going to the performance and the day after the performance, she was very, very pleased with the result. I've often prayed for help to find lost items and often find them after prayer, or even during, prayer. Our family traveled for months around the country and prayed daily for protection. During this time, we were saved many times from potential harm by a tire blowing at just the right time. God was watching over us, he has been watching over us, and still watches over us.
How I live my faith
I am active in the Church, attending church weekly and attending Seminary every school day, riding my bike 3 1/2 miles each way to get there. I work to learn from church and Seminary and talk with friends about the Gospel, talking of Christ, rejoicing in Christ, preaching of Christ, and prophesying of Christ (2 Nephi 25:26). I read scriptures and pray daily and set aside money to serve a full-time, 2 year mission. I read books, listen to music, and watch movies that invite the Spirit that I love so dearly to spend time with me.

Although not a new phenomenon, wife-beating has been largely ignored by
mental health professionals. The author describes a context in which the
physical abuse of women as wives can be understood and suggests alternative
theoretical constructs to traditional theories of masochism as explanations
of why women stay in violent marital relationships. She discusses the
societal attitudes that normalize the use of family violence as well as
attitudes about women, men, and sex roles that leave women vulnerable to
assault; summarizes the research on abused wives; identifies a specific
stress response syndrome caused by violent abuse; and elaborates on the
problems posed for clinicians working with abused women.

Comments about Toca African Inspired Mandjani Djembe:
I bought this for a friend and was not happy with the sound. I own several djembes (Sageman & Overseas Connection) and am amazed at the difference between the sound of this drum out of the box and others (like Sageman) that ship perfectly tuned and sound great. This drum has a very nice design but if it does not sound great it negates the beauty of the design.

Peter Kaplan
Editor hired 'Sex and the City' columnist
Peter Kaplan, 59, the former editor of the New York Observer who hired a then-unknown Candace Bushnell to write a column called "Sex and the City," died Friday of cancer in New York City, said his wife, Lisa Chase.
He edited the Observer from 1994 to 2009. The salmon-colored weekly has a reach beyond its circulation of about 50,000 because it is read by the Manhattan-based movers and shakers it covers.
Kaplan was credited with honing the paper's snarky tone and hiring writers who became influential voices.
Bushnell's column about love and dating inspired the hit HBO cable TV series "Sex and the City" starring Sarah Jessica Parker.
"The more cancellations we got for her column," Kaplan wrote in New York magazine in 2011, "the more the paper knew we had hit the jackpot."
Other writers who worked under Kaplan at the Observer include Joe Conason, who is now editor-in-chief of the political website the National Memo, and Nikki Finke, who founded Deadline.com.
After leaving the Observer, Kaplan was hired as the editorial creative director at Conde Nast Traveler. In 2010, he was named editorial director of the Fairchild Fashion Group, now Fairchild Fashion Media, a division of Conde Nast Publications.
Born in New York City on Feb. 10, 1954, he grew up in suburban New Jersey. He received a bachelor's degree from Harvard and was a stringer for Time magazine.
He was a familiar face in Manhattan media even before joining the Observer. In the mid-1980s, he covered the television industry for the New York Times and also had been executive producer for Charlie Rose's talk show on PBS.
Karl Quilter
Sculptor of Mormon Angel Moroni
Karl Quilter, 84, a sculptor whose works of the Angel Moroni stand atop most Mormon temples, died Wednesday at his home near Salt Lake City. He was diagnosed with a brain tumor in 2010, but it was removed and he continued sculpting until the day he unexpectedly died, family members said.
His rendering of the Angel Moroni tops the spires of more than 100 temples, according to officials of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Worldwide, there are more than 140 temples, which are considered sacred to Mormons and are used for religious rituals. There are seven in California. The Moroni atop the Los Angeles temple was one of the few in the U.S. not designed by Quilter; the artist was Millard F. Malin.
Mormons believe the Angel Moroni led church founder Joseph Smith to the golden plates from which the Book of Mormon originated.
Quilter also sculpted the life-size Nativity scene displayed outside most Mormon temples during Christmastime, his family said, as well as oxen that are part of many baptismal fonts.
Studying sculpture at the University of Utah, he experimented with fiberglass, which was much lighter than traditional bronze or other metals used to make the angels for temples at the time.
The lighter material made the sculptures more compliant with building codes, as well as easier to transport and mount.

GPOYW + 1 day: This-Is-Where-I-Want-To-Be-Right-Now Edition
I never actually blogged about Aruba in words, so here some fun facts about my trip (more for my record, than anything else):
- Despite what the photos show, I didn't go alone, I'm not that cool (yet), I went with a really good friend, who I refer to as, Trophy Friend. It was our 3rd year going away just the two of us, and as always, it was fabulousness. We have great plans of going away to pretty places until we're great-grand-ma-mas.
- For those who asked, we stayed at the Holiday Inn resort. It was the cheapest resort on Palm beach, the main beach. I *would* recommend it, but be warned kids 11 and under stay/eat for free, which means it's a VERY family resort. The beach was beautiful, the food was delicious (see scale for proof), and the room had a gorgeous beach/sunset view.
- I went snorkeling! It was my first time ever, and quite frankly, I had never had any desire to go, because fish are DISGUSTING. Why anyone would want to swim with them, and then feed them is beyond me. They're terrifiying and scale-y and have huge potential to get stuck in my hair. BUT, I sucked up my fears, and went, and it was SUPER cool. The fishies were super bright, and the water was a stunning blue. I still, however, had moments where I freaked out and splashed around viciously in an attempt to make the fish leave me alone, but overall it was amazing and something I thought I'd never do (see me standing on the beach in Hawaii waving to my family snorkeling, because I hate fish that much). Ps I have no problems with sharks. Huh.
- I didn't have stomach issues on this trip (TMI? Maybe, but Aruba: 1, Cuba: 0, Dominican: 0), but… I got a crazy-ass weird eye infection and a heat rash on my legs, because the sun burnt me down to my bones. So yup, those things were not fun.
- Aruba is TINY (33k by 12k), so instead of doing a set tour, we rented a car and road tripped the entire island. This was one of the best days of my life. We took a tiny car, off roading and are SO LUCKY we didn't get stuck in the desert of Aruba's coast. We ventured to the north, east, south and west. And explored beautiful churches, and picture perfect beaches. I saw one of the most beautiful beaches of my life, and realized (the hard way) what a blessing shade is.
Overall, my favourite beach trip so far; very relaxing, beautiful, and warm. Oh, how I love the hot, hot sun!

Police in Salt Lake City are hoping the public can help track down a pair of men who burst into a motel room and tied up the occupants on New Year's Eve.
The two men broke into a room at the Skyline Inn, 2475 E. 1700 South, Tuesday morning about 11 a.m., according to police. Once inside, the men ziptied the three male occupants while they robbed the room of the occupants' personal possessions.

The hotel occupants told police they were "associates" of the suspects, and knew who they were.
The robbers left in one of the victim's vehicles, a black 1995 Honda Accord with Utah license plate number B687YV.
Anyone with information about the robbery should call 801-799-3000. Anonymous tips may be sent by texting the keyword TIPSLCPD plus any relevant information to 274637.

How does one not acquiesce to suffering?
After I finished watching Natalie's talk , I showed my roommates and of course we all were inspired. Then I asked a question that, "why is it that the citizens of western nations seem to be so eager to help but while we here in the east seem to accept and in a way acquiesce to the hardship around us?"
The only conclusion I came up with is that when you see suffering 24/7 especially in Nigeria, you are tempted to just see it as the norm. Even after relocating to Nigeria I have been tempted to do this.
So the question is how do we prevent this?

Dec 4 2011: Do simple things consistently and conscientiously and you would have changed the world in your own little way. Live within the realities of your immediate enviroment but with a simple mind of "a heart at a time" touched with goodness from you is better than a grandiose idea that certain realities of your immediate enviroment migth make almost imposssible.
Dec 4 2011: Just so you know, my only point about family size was in the cultural context. Talking about and ecouraging, a focus on small well educated families in regions of great poverty, is one of the little things you can do to help encourage a strong social structure. If a family with two workers, has one child specifically, it is much easier to get that child a higher priced education, but in regions of great turmoil, of course, it is a risk, that you will lose your one.
Religion, has made this a difficult thing to talk about culturally, but it really is one of those little consistencies that helps make a community more profitable, and strong, in an everyday, conscious way. That, and most birth control programs are already underway, and easy to support. Talking about condoms, encouraging women to make men wear them despite the fact they're awful... these are little conversations people can have, that go a long way. Birth control, and encouraging a focus of resources on one or two children, makes it easier for social structures to thrive and educate their young.
Talking about those things and influencing your local community, is something we're actually failing to do in America once again, condom use is down... Porn is replacing casual sex though, there are lots of weird cultural problems, or solutions, that Americans aren't really comfortable talking about yet, coming into play... but my point is that all cultures, would do well to remind themselves to try and talk about traditional family structures, birth control, family size, and even the taboo subject of sex in general, in a more open, intellectual way. I would suggest this is at least one of the little ways you can do good work. Certainly not the only.
I link this talk a lot, but that's cus it's a great one http://www.ted.com/talks/zimchallenge.html

I certainly hope we see him back. I don't think we need 23, 5,6,5 every night to be a contender with the way Aldridge has been playing. We will see but i certainly wish him the best as far as a recovery. I used to get so excited every time he touched the ball because I was 'used' to him doing something amazing. I feel spoiled now, it was the kind of magic that anyone would hope would never end.
Brandon's knees are shot, He has heart but playing on heart only works once in awhile. Brandon will never be a consistent Blazer starter again with no cartilage in his knees. Hopefully he will step down or we can get the salary exception that the league is talking about for the 2012 year and remove his salary from our books.

For new crop corn, it could be such a wild and volatile year that price averaging offers great appeal. "I can still tell you a good $4 or $9 new crop corn pricing story," says Chad Hart, Iowa State University ag economist. If it's a big crop, harvest prices could be in the upper $3 to lower $4 levels. If it's a short crop, prices could exceed $8. Because of that, he thinks pricing throughout the marketing season makes sense.
