Linder, Winebarger, And Ray Victorious At Welt & Welt Night
By Ben Deatherage
The Cottage Grove Speedway produced a splendid night of racing on Saturday August 10th. The entire evening was sponsored by the great people at Welt & Welt Inc. and featured the 360 Sprints, Northwest Extreme Sprints, Late Models, and Street Stocks. Despite a shower or two in the early afternoon officials were able to complete the entire program.
Both the 360 Sprints and Northwest Extreme Sprints ran together which would turn out to be a thriller of a thirty-lap feature. The BC Motorsports/Steelhouse Metal Roofing Supply #2 KPC of Colin Baker of Cottage Grove was the early car to beat as he would seize the lead in the opening laps. Baker was in search of his first career 360 Sprint main event victory.
As laps would click away Seth Nunes of Medford would put his mount in the contest for the win just around the halfway mark. Unfortunately the Napa Auto Parts/Lucas Oil Products/Rodgers Racing Engines #5N Maxim, of Nunes, and Baker would get together on lap fourteen and Nunes would get upside down in turn three.
Baker would be able to continue but would suffer damage on the right side of the car. Shortly after the restart Garen Linder from Central Point would seize the lead on lap seventeen in his Linder Powdercoating/Rodgers Racing Engines #22 KPC. Linder would build a significant size lead and would go on to win his first race at CGS in 2013.
Colin Baker would end the night in second place while third would go to the Held's Automotive & Accessories/Budget Lumber/Independent Motor Rebuilders #68 J&J of Rob Held from Sutherlin. Mike Romig of Vancouver, Washington would place fourth in the Herz Precision Parts/Rabourn Performance Engines #22R Eagle followed by the Herz Precision Parts/Applied Suspension/Wolverine Chassis #28 Eagle of Mark Herz from Sandy.
Collen Winebarger would simply dominate the Late Model feature in his crate powered entry. The young ace from Corbett would earn the lead on the opening laps and would lead the caution free feature all the way to the end. It would mark the fourth time that Winebarger has put his Discount Race Car Parts/All In Property Investments/Hillsboro Vac & Sew #1 MasterSbilt in victory lane at the Cottage Grove Speedway.
Eugene's Chuck Christian would earn the runner-up position in the Redwood Northwest/Coleen's One Stop Bird Shop/Eco-Machine Technologies #422 GRT with the My Boy's Slate Fired Pizza/Mueller Commercial Restaurant Services #18 MasterSbilt of Blaine Taylor of Creswell crossing the line in third. Completing the balance of the top five finishers would be the Send Transportation/Interstate Cargo/Sierra Ridge Cabinetry #88 of Mike Peters out of Cottage Grove in fourth and Tanner Wines from Lebanon in fifth driving the Kris Pickle owned Pickle Trucking/James Gang Pizza/Kartco Racing #77 MasterSbilt.
Last but not least the Street Stocks would be on hand at "The Grove". Daniel Ray would take care of the field leading the entire distance. The only thing that would slow down the Pure Romance-Leslie Grimes/Brad's Car Tunes/S.D.M.F. Race Cars #01 Camaro would be five yellow flag incidents. Ray would master every single restart to win his fourth feature of 2013.
The Nathan Anderson Dentistry/Platinum Hair of Creswell #73 Nova of Darin Crooks from Cottage Grove would end the evening in the runner-up position and behind him in third would end up being Brett Provost of Grants Pass in his Peckham Precision Engines/Timber Mountain Construction #50 Camaro. Don Garrett III of Portland would place fourth in his #75 Camaro while completing the top five finishers was Darryl Crooks in the Nathan Anderson Dentistry/Platinum Hair of Creswell #00 Nova in fifth.
The Cottage Grove Speedway will only be in action on Friday August 16th due to the Western Oregon Exposition. This event will be held for the first ever Summer Sizzle Tour featuring the best Kage Kart drivers in the Pacific Northwest. The next event on the ¼-mile will be on Saturday August 23rd when the American Sprint Car Series-Northwest Region make their final trip to CGS for 2013. Be sure and not miss your last chance to see the best 360 Sprint drivers on the Pacific Coast. For more information log on to www.cottagegrovespeedway.com or by calling (360)-699-RACE.

The basketball season came to an end for the Skyline boys on Wednesday night as they fell to Little River in the first round of sub-state playoffs at Sterling. The Redskins laid a 71-15 beat-down on the Thunderbirds to close out the 2012-13 campaign.
Midway through the first quarter, Skyline was still a part of the ballgame, trailing just 6-2. But then a flurry of Skyline turnovers were turned into fast break points by Little River, and the Redskins also connected on some 3s. The score quickly became 20-4 at the end of Q1.
Hot outside shooting by the Redskins combined with their tenacious defense in the second frame allowed Little River to open up a 44-6 halftime lead. Nothing changed after intermission and Little River continued to expand their lead to 64-11 heading into the final quarter.
With the clock running throughout the 4th quarter, the game ended 71-15 in favor of the #1 seeded and #10 ranked Little Rivers.
The T-Birds end their season 2-19.

Over the summer, while I was away from my teaching environment I threw down a personal, or rather, professional challenge to myself. I decided that I wanted to re-ignite my coaching passion. Like most people, I run the risk of saying the same thing to my clients because it is comfortable and familiar. I risk falling into a rut though and I think it was a very good challenge to myself because it really freshened me up when I finally did return after nearly 3 months of not teaching.
First of all, I want to make it clear that doing what is comfortable and familiar to you is not a bad thing. It is nice to have a repitoire to draw from, especially on days when it feels a little harder to tap creativity and inspiration. So don't misunderstand and think that I'm asking you to scrap what you have and what you do. I'm just throwing down the challenge to reinvigorate your engagement with your clients, spice up your word choice, savor some silence and wring out some possibly stale tidbits in your coaching.
I did my challenge in several ways. Some involved internet surfing, and some involved taking on a new activity: running. I also talked to others about how they conjure up motivational imagery and I'll suggest all three ways here.
First - internet surfing. This was harder than I thought it would be. I googled things like "motivational coaching" and often pulled up ways to push CEOs in the business world. I searched for Sports coaching and that seemed so technical on watching for signs of fatigue and psychological shifts in elite athletes.
What words would you use to search for ways to elicit committment from your participants? If you find a great site - by all means - share it here in a response.
As far as talking to others about it - I had to get away from my own Spinning® participants because they were contaminated and misunderstood what I was asking. I didn't want their praise of what I do, I was asking them what inspires them to dial down their personal/psychological resistance to having a great training session and dial up their participatory effort - whatever that looks like in the moment: it is hard to describe "full participation" in endurance...when a heart-stopping all out sprint seems to be what full participation looks like.
The best thing was for me to take on a new activity - and in particular I took on running which is exceptionally challenging for me. My rationale behind the decision to take up running was two-fold. For three months I had no access to Spinning® or a bike, and I wanted it to be something I have felt for a very long time was out of my reach. This put me in the mindset of new exercisers.
(and I am suggesting this now because you are about to be hit at your gym, as you are every single year, with new exercisers who may feel that joining your classes is simply beyond them.)
While I was running - it took me literally from doing about ten minutes of run/walks to being able to do a smooth 10k - I went through the range of emotions that I think are not only common for people who are facing a new challenge but pretty necessary.
It includes self doubt, fear of failure, fear of pain, fear of others' judgement and lack of support. It also includes moments of exhilleration for tiny little milestones of progress and big moments of disappointment when my effort was shrouded in my personal perception of a shortcoming.
From being in tune with this range of emotion, range of success/failure, range of mental feedback I was able to keep track of words that were meaningful to me, like "C'mon Cori...what's holding you back today?" and "bringing a smile across my face seemed to lift my spirits when running felt really hard." I also turned to my friends who are better than me at running (which is probably most every one I know!) and their passion, peppered with their experience and memories of moving through the process of going from non-runner to runner really helped. More than just asking coaches would have. It was real - not phoney, rehearsed and tired words.
All of this lead to my authenticity when I got on my lead bike again after the long break. It was such a valuable experience for me that I wanted to share it with you.
Are you aware of your cache of motivational coaching words? Do you want to reinvigorate your coaching? What are you willing to do for it? Of course I recognize that you get paid by the class and that doing this would be so much more practical if you were paid to do it. But honestly it has been a priceless experience for me.
It doesn't have to be running or anything in the fitness arena, I would argue. If you take up violin, or go back to school or learn to fly an airplane, you will go through a similar process of what your new clients will face in the new year, when they stop pressing their noses against the gym window, fogging it up, and actually walk through the doors. Your empathy will go a long way in reaching them, motivating them, inspiring them and re-booting your creative engine.

For Instructors Spinning
Yes, we're a bigger influence than we might think sometimes.
02/28/2011 6:39 am
Instructors at my facility recently received an email from upper management regarding our roles as instructors at this gym. In essence, it seemed that some employees at the gym?I am not sure if it was instructors or trainers?were reported doing this such as offering training sessions outside of the facility or pushing nutritional supplements and such. At first, I was taken aback?but then I realized that this makes some sense, particularly in the case of the latter. As instructors, we often are looked to as the experts, and our opinions do matter to people who take our classes. In trying to ?sell? products to clients, we might not be ethical as our job is instructor or trainer, not nutritionist or doctor. Speaking from personal experience, I remember an incredibly charismatic instructor I had. I honestly believed all she spoke was the truth, and took everything she said as fact. As I got to know this person better, I realized that as charismatic as she was?she had no real clue about health and nutrition and what the SAFE way to lose weight was. I just accepted things as fact, and only through being in close quarters with her did I learn that not only did she really not have a clue about safety as it relates to fitness?she also was not even certified as an instructor. But, that?s not the whole point of this blog?my point here is about how as instructors it?s our role to model good behavior but also to know that what we say is often taken as fact and we should exercise care in doing so. -JuneShare

I'm trying to weigh different scenarios and what to say/not to say to them. First off, good for you for planning ahead. Your prepping shows your love and concern for you and your family. As to what to say, given what you said about your neighbors....don't tell anyone about your preps. You may want to gently bring up in casual conversation that "hey, it might be good to take some precautions in case something bad happens" or you could even fib a little and say "You know, we probably should all do some preps, but oh no of course I haven't done any". I would only do this with people you have gotten to know and who have earned your trust somewhat. Plant the seed of self-reliance and being prepared; maybe it will influence them.You may discover some like-minded neighbors who were too afraid to speak up because they didn't want to be thought of as "crazy survivalists". Even if you discover fellow preppers in your midst, I still wouldn't reveal everything you have since you live in a crowded condo.
The prepper term for what is necessary is OPSEC - short for "operational security," which sounds terribly official and formal, but basically means keeping your prepping activities secret.Carrying this out may be easier said than done, especially if you have kids, who tend to blab to their friends. And if your husband doesn't take you seriously, he may do likewise, thinking of it as a bit of a joke - "Yeah, the "little woman" has this weird bee in her bonnets about becoming a survivalist or something."The best practice is, as I say, secrecy. Don't worry about proselytizing, especially if it might compromise your family's and your own security. Keep in mind that if things get really bad, people won't be knocking on your door to beg for food, they'll be kicking your door down to take your food and whatever else you might have handy.Short of major collapse scenarios, a month's worth of food and water should see you through just about anything you are likely to face - assuming that it doesn't get taken from you. There have been numerous reports of such incidents happening in New York and, in fact, they are continuing to happen is pockets as the situation worsens.I'm sure other participants here will have other comments and suggestions. One thing I'm not clear on: Have you already let others know about your prep activities?And by the way, welcome aboard! You aren't the only Canadian on this board, so don't feel too lonely!
Hi everyone!...I decided that we'll stay in the condo, it's very large, we're on one of the top floors and don't have a balcony, which makes me feel safe and our front door (fire door) has been enforced with a brand new heavy-duty lock.
We live on 24'th floor and have some limited access to the roof, our brand new condo building is very close to being fire-proof, if there is fire in one unit, the next unit will be more or less undamaged, but we can easily escape to the roof at any moment, this is why I feel safe here.
I'm not that scared, we have a lot of exits from each floor, very efficient design.

Al-Qaeda spreads its tentacles
Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda - working through Afghan and Pakistani partners - is present in almost every Afghan and Pakistani province along the fluid border between the two countries. Having learned from the mistake of going into business under its own name in Iraq, al-Qaeda remains behind the scenes, protected by local gunmen, but capable of influencing the fight against United States and foreign "infidels" in South Asia. -

Obama steps into diplomatic minefield
United States President Barack Obama has to tread carefully on his visits to Egypt and Saudi Arabia, or his favorable image in the Middle East could be tainted for good. If he overstates his case over the Iran nuclear issue or support for Israeli-Palestinian negotiations, the trip could backfire and cause unwanted backlashes in Israel and Iran. -

Pyongyang shakes up pacifist Japan
The Japanese government, prompted by this week's nuclear and missile tests by North Korea, is finalizing plans that would enable the military to carry out pre-emptive strikes as part of a new defense plan to be presented by the end of the year. The era of Japan's strong pacifism, as enshrined in the United Stated-imposed "peace constitution", may be coming to an end. -

Taliban keep grip on kidnapped Canadian
Canadian journalist
Beverly Giesbrecht, who after converting to Islam became known as Khadija Abdul Qahhar, was kidnapped by a "good" Taliban leader late last year. A ransom of US$740,000 was agreed, but then the price shot up when the Pakistani bureaucracy became involved. Now Khadija is ill, but her captors are not budging. -

Al-Qaeda strikes back in Lahore
Wednesday's suicide attack in Lahore which claimed the lives of 23 people was not, as widely believed, an act of retaliation for the Pakistan military's offensive against militants in Swat. Al-Qaeda planned and financed the mission because its key sanctuaries in the border areas with Afghanistan have been "violated". -

A test of Washington's resolve
United States and South Korean forces have gone on "high alert" after North Korea's nuclear test, but beyond that sensational term Washington has little response but to plaintively search for allies to scold Pyongyang. China and Russia are unlikely to step beyond verbal condemnation, and the US's commitment to a much-vaunted plan to blockade the Hermit Kingdom is still in doubt. -

Size matters for North Korea's nukes
Seismographic estimates of North Korea's nuclear test on May 25 place the device's payload as roughly the size of the Fat Man dropped on Nagasaki in 1945. Experts maintain that simply detonating a bomb does not mean Kim Jong-il has the power to decimate Seoul or Tokyo by the press of a button. Still, the North's scientists are getting better, and the bombs bigger. -

Pipelineistan goes Iran-Pak
A deal was finally signed this week in Tehran by which Iran will sell gas from its South Pars mega-fields to Pakistan by way of the 2,100-kilometer, US$7.5 billion Iran-Pakistan pipeline. For the moment, Iran, Pakistan, China and Russia win. Washington and NATO lose, not to mention Afghanistan. But will Balochistan province also win? If not, all hell will break loose, creating an even greater, regional, ball of fire. -

A flawed study of 'rogue' Iran
The Secret War with Iran
Ronen Bergman
Though readers are often cautioned not to judge a book by its cover, in this case the politically charged sub-title (Control of a 'Rogue' State) defines the contents perfectly. Instead of providing a serious look at the covert intelligence wars between Iran and the West, the author attempts to frame it as a "terrorist" state bent on undermining the international system. -

Beijing weighs its options
North Korea's latest nuclear test again puts China on the spot. The issue, though, is not whether Beijing has the leverage and is willing to use it against Pyongyang; it is the calculation of what impacts on what specific goals such pressure would generate, given that China's overriding and vital concern is stability on the Korean Peninsula. -

Taliban stuck between anvil and hammer

Kim Jong-il tests US-China cooperation
The complex dynamics which for centuries have marked relations between the political entities on the current Korean Peninsula - and their gigantic Western neighbor - show that Korean national pride refuses, despite China's unavoidable presence - or precisely because of it - subordination. The influence of Beijing - given its relationship with the United States - on Pyongyang, should not be overestimated. -

World powerless to stop North Korea
Despite widespread condemnation of North Korea's nuclear test by the world's major powers, there is nothing they can do to stop Pyongyang's nuclear weapons program. The bigger question is whether South Korea and Japan will decide to go nuclear - a move that would undermine the influence of the United States and China in Northeast Asia. -

Sri Lanka wards off Western bullying
China and Russia have invited Sri Lanka to get involved with the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and will ensure that the "international community" does not torment Colombo. Sri Lanka is becoming the theater where Russia and China are challenging the United States' global strategy to establish a North Atlantic Treaty Organization presence in the Indian Ocean region. There is moral muddiness all around. -

Moderate Tamils chart new course
Over the past two decades, the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam hijacked the Tamil cause.

Iran courts the US's allies
The weekend's summit between Iran and United States-backed Pakistan and Afghanistan has given Tehran an opportunity to deepen ties for the fight against terrorism and narcotics, as well as to strengthen its position ahead of proposed direct dialogue with the US. By presenting Iran as a regional power, President Mahmud Ahmadinejad also boosts his chances of re-election in June. -

Al-Qaeda keeps its eyes on Afghanistan
A militant cell was on the brink of an assassination attempt on Pakistani chief of army staff General Ashfaq Parvez Kiani last year, but it was halted by top al-Qaeda leaders, an al-Qaeda insider has revealed to Asia Times Online. They feared the backlash from such an incident would damage their overall objective - to win the war in Afghanistan. -

The pressure of an expanding war
For those old enough to remember, the United States has been here before. Administrations that start expanding a war such as Afghanistan find themselves locked in, even as the situation deteriorates. In Vietnam, the result was escalation without end. If the fighting in the Afghan south heats up, pressure for more troops may rise, as could pressure for more air power, more drone power, more of almost anything. -

Slouching towards balkanization
Washington is focused on the Pakistani province of Balochistan like a laser.

Clearly frustrated with Afghan President Hamid Karzai but hesitant to replace him at this

Fears of a Taliban spread
The Taliban phenomenon in Pakistan is confined to the western border with Afghanistan, where the military and militants are currently engaged in fierce battle.

Torture memos and historical amnesia
As long as Americans think of themselves as "exceptional" in history, the larger pattern of imperial crimes committed doesn't tend to penetrate and the revelation of certain specific grim acts - whether the My Lai massacre in the Vietnam years or the torture memos of today, often backfire, serving only to efface terrible crimes. -

Tigers leave unfinished business
The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam in Sri Lanka made a series of pivotal blunders over the past few years, but not one as big as the decision to wage a defensive war when its fighters lacked the numbers and the firepower for such a strategy.

China and Russia are stepping up ties with a focus on Central Asia - and not due to fears of Washington's designs on the region.

The selection of Lieutenant General Stanley McChrystal as the new top United States commander in Afghanistan has

Afghanistan defies the US battle plan
Prior to the Vietnam War, counter-insurgency thinking was considered a new and even adventurous way of defeating wars of national liberation.

Pakistan's massive military campaign to oust Taliban forces from a swathe of North-West Frontier Province in and around Swat has left as many as 700 militants killed, the government claims, and the Taliban on the run or under siege in most places.

Strategically, the Pakistani province of Balochistan is mouth-watering: east of Iran, south of Afghanistan, and boasting three Arabian sea ports, including Gwadar - a harbor built by China - which is the absolute key.

Obama could learn from Karzai
There is supreme irony in the suggestion that what is helping Afghan President Hamid Karzai more than anything else to wrap up his re-election on August 20 is that Western politicians were so quick to distance themselves from him.

I often get questions about sprints when I'm conducting workshops. Many new (and experienced) instructors tell me they "sprint" multiple times within 4 to 5 minutes. I always try to point out that what they are describing to me is more " "cadence building" than sprinting.
One of the most confusing aspects of the Spinning program is sprinting. The word itself immediately brings to mind descriptions like: fast, quick, high speed, and fun. Each of those is true, but only after a high amount of resistance has been added to make them happen.
When is it a sprint? It's a sprint when a significant amount of resistance is added to lower the cadence to 80 RPMs (or just below). At that point, the rider bursts out of the saddle in HP #3 for 5 seconds with a singular intention of hitting the high point RPM target of 110. There is no conservation of energy at this point. Maximum power is applied to the movement. After the 5 seconds, the rider returns to the saddle for a period of 25 seconds or less with the intention of maintaining the high intensity output in HP #2. Since the effort requires such high intensity, the last part of a sprint process should be an intentional working recovery period where breath and energy are given an opportunity to go back to sustainable levels. One of the goals of active recovery is to continue "working" while the body begins to renew its'energy. Guideline cadence ranges and resistance ranges should be maintained during these periods.
When is it cadence building? It's cadence building when the intention is to elevate the current pedal stroke rhythm of the riders. A cadence build is an elevation of RPMs for a specific period of time. The time can vary just as the symbol can. It's a strategy to raise intensity but not necessarily to maximum levels. A cadence build can be a subtle elevation in output or a sharp (significant) increase in it.
Here again, are the primary differences between the two:
1: time can consistently vary above or below the :30 mark when you are cadence building.
2: heart rate can go slightly above the current working level or to the individual's peak when you are cadence building.
Both movements challenge participants. Sprints are specified high intensity movements while cadence building is a strategy for increasing focus, rhythm, and output for varying amounts of time.

This year for our kickoff ride at the World Spinning® and Sports Conference, we wanted to do something different. We wanted to give someone the opportunity to design the Jersey that would be used at Josh Taylor's Champion Ride. The contest was open to our Facebook users and all they had to do was submit a design. The concept was: Champion, the iconic symbol of a thoroughbred race horse captures the power, speed, endurance, loyalty and desire it takes to win and become a true champion!
Josh Taylor hand picked Jennifer Lee's design! Here's what she had to say about winning this contest and getting work with Josh!
"When I submitted designs for the Champion Jersey design contest I never expected to win. I remember checking my email and seeing a message from Mad Dogg Athletics with the subject: 'Champion' and thinking it was a 'thank you we received your design' message. Much to my suprise, the email read:
'Congrats! Josh has chosen your Jersey to use for WSSC! He would actually like to work with you and make just a few changes.'
When Michaela mentioned that I would be working with Josh I got instantly nervous as I'd never met Josh and the only time I'd seen him was on stage in front of 300 people... pretty intimidating. Michaela gave me his number and we played phone tag a few times before I heard a voice on the other end, in my head I could hear 'Omg, that's Josh Taylor'... instantly he made me feel comfortable with his boyish giggles and laid back dialogue. We tossed a few ideas back and forth and I went back to work, sent him a few designs and he was happy.
It was very exciting to see the jersey that Josh and I designed on everyone in the Champion ride."
-Jennifer Lee, MOVE FITNESS
There were almost 300 people wearing Jennifer's design at the Champion Ride. Who knows, you might get to work with Josh next year on the design!

The federal government is suing the operator of a tiny Michigan museum after learning that an "irreplaceable" 19th-century lighthouse lens is stored in a building that has no alarm or fire sprinklers and is rarely open to the public.
The U.S. Coast Guard donated the 900-pound lens to the city of Harbor Beach in 1970 under certain conditions. In 1987, the city decided to let Huron City Museums use it, according to the lawsuit.
The government, however, said Harbor Beach and the local Grice Museum had no authority to pass the lens to someone else.
Huron City Museums is a group of restored buildings — a store, a church, an inn and others — between Port Austin and Port Hope at the tip of Michigan's Thumb. The buildings were constructed after a fire in 1881 wiped out Huron City. The buildings typically are open only a few days a week in July and August.
The 16-panel lens, which was in the Pointe Aux Barques lighthouse on Lake Huron until 1969, now is displayed in a former life-saving station. The Coast Guard estimated the lens' value at $550,000 in 1998.
"As the lens is a historical artifact, it is irreplaceable," Assistant U.S. Attorney Julia Caroff said in a lawsuit filed in October in federal court in Bay City.
"The lens is housed in a frame structure, with no air conditioning, alarm or fire suppression structure. The building is secured by a single dead-bolt lock," the lawsuit states.
Huron City Museums is run by the William Lyon Phelps Foundation.
Kathryn Parcells of suburban Detroit, who is listed on the foundation's website as chairwoman, had no immediate comment. The foundation must respond to the lawsuit by Monday.
The government said Huron City Museums has not responded to requests for information about the lens' condition or insurance. The lawsuit said the Coast Guard still technically owns the lens and can recover it if the 1970 agreement is broken.

Closets can be havens for disorganization and frustration or they can be a great asset towards creating an organized home, helping make our lives easier. With the proper storage tools, you can get your closet space organized. Once it is organized you won't feel the frustration of not being able to find quickly and easily what it is you are looking for. You can store items you don't use frequently and still be able to access quickly the items you do use on a daily basis. With a little thought and the right storage solutions, you can be on track for having a no fuss closet and storage area. At SpaceSavers, we want to help you live your life, your way, organized. This is why we offer a wide array of storage and organizational products for your closets in your home.
Don't be overwhelmed on how to get started. If you organize in small steps, you will get there. Ask yourself some basic questions about what you want out of your closet. Most of us need long term storage and also have a daily turnover of items going in and out of our closets. If you want your closet to have long term storage, you will need a combination of different long term storage products to make it easier to get to those items that you use on a daily basis, while still protecting your items for long term storage. If you feel that your closet is bursting at the seams with clothing, there are a few things you can do right off the bat. First, if you have additional closet space elsewhere in your home that you are not using or not using at full capacity, it is a good first step to pull all your clothing items that are not currently in season out of the closet you use on a daily basis, and put them in storage in this extra closet. For example, if it is summer and warm, you don't need your thick sweaters and other winter clothing items. By using SpaceSavers' cedar products, garment bags, and storage bins, you can put all the winter clothing away until winter time arrives. The cedar products, blocks, hangers, and so on, will help protect your clothing from deteriorating from moths and the like. If you place your clothing in garment bags and totes with lids, you will protect your clothing from dust and the like that can occur when an area goes unused. In this way, they will be fresh and ready for use, when the first cold front arrives.
With step one done; you can assess the rest of your closet to determine what you might be able to do next. SpaceSavers offers shoe storage, hanging storage options like hangers that can hold vertically multiple skirts, pants, or shirts. We have tie and belt storage options. We have bins and shelving that can arrange your closet with ease in a more accessible way. We have hooks for items you want to hang. We have hanging shelving. We have see through storage shoe boxes that you can see what shoes are inside. We have shelf organizers and drawer organizers. We have storage that includes built in drawers. SpaceSavers can provide you with a myriad of choices in which to get your closet or all of your closets in your home organized. This will save you time, when you are in a hurry. It will look good. It will protect your clothing and increase the longevity of your clothing. It will help you save space in your closet, so you can maximize the usefulness and space you do have with your closets.

There's a great old movie about a rock band in Ireland called The Commitments. The soundtrack is awesome and I've used some of it for Spinning® classes. This spring, one song has been sadly appropriate: "I Can't Stand the Rain." It's a great song, but during a wet and rainy season when we'd like to be outdoors, it is all too true.
OK, it's one thing when you have a ride planned and it rains and you can still venture forth with little harm. It's quite another when those nasty weather cells keep circling about and shooting down bolts of lightening, high winds and even hale. Yup, that's what we've had for far too many days here in Vermont this spring. I lead an outdoor cycling group once a week and we've had only two dry sessions so far. When the weather forecast threatens "dangerous" lightening, well, duty calls, and – no ride.
I don't like to ride in the rain. I don't like to get wet – the kind of wet when my feet squish in my shoes, the rain drips down the back of my neck, and I feel the water pouring through the spaces in my helmet and down my face. That's the kind of rain I rode in last week.
I had jumped into my narrow window to hit the road after work and headed out of town in clear weather. By the time my ride was done I had ridden through a 35-minute deluge – twice – as the storm clouds circled back. Once again, however, my Spinning® training came to my rescue. How many hours have I spent in the Endurance Energy Zone? Plenty. I have practiced keeping a steady pace, moderating my heart rate and maintaining my focus. What better way to approach getting caught in the rain?
Let me back up a bit. When the sky turned black and I realized I had no option but to turn around and finish my ride, I put on my super light-weight and easily compacted rain coat, turned on the flashing LED light on my saddle bag and revised my training plan. Hoping that my tires would hold on the slick pavement (and avoiding the painted lines), I decided to scrap the intervals I had hoped for and focus on a steady, consistent ride that would get me home safely. Visibility was poor and traffic was heavy so I knew that holding my line, riding consistently and predictably, was a safety mechanism. Once I locked into my journey, I was able to deal with the mental aspects of my ride.
I needed to relax my upper body and breathe. Tension would be more than counterproductive; it could be downright dangerous. I needed to establish and maintain a steady cadence. I thought of all the times I have coached my Spinning® students to realize that cadence and resistance determine intensity. I wanted to keep my effort level manageable and yet move forward deliberately. I needed to match the appropriate gear with an efficient cadence. How often in Spinning® class do we do so with our resistance knobs?
Watching the water fly off my front wheel, I needed to avoid letting my mind wander, falling victim to its mesmerizing effect. I needed to consider my grip and remind myself to soften my elbows. I needed to manage the flow of power from my legs to the pedals and I needed to take my training ride to another level – a level at which I became one with my bike working with and not against the elements.
I became so aware of the synchronicity of my movements as cause, and my bikes response to those movements as effect, as forward motion, that I forgot to worry about the traffic, the puddles, the threatening rumbles, and the remaining distance to my parked car. My ride was stripped to the bare essentials.
But isn't that what we do in a Spinning® class? We remove problematic distractions, connect with our Spinners® and refine our training? And, speaking of the rain….how fortunate are we to have the option of coming inside to ride? Disappointment is one thing, but needing to fulfill a training or fitness goal, and being unable to do so, is quite another. With the advantage of highly effective cycling training waiting for us in the studio or the gym, as part of a class or on our own, we can move forward without missing a beat.
We may feel that we "can't stand the rain," but we can use the rain to dump a bucketful of real life on us. At least we have options!

Indian Cave State Park in southeast Nebraska is inviting volunteers to stop an invasion in the oak woodlands.
The park has scheduled a work day from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on April 30 to hand pull garlic mustard, an invasive, non-native herb that can grow in sun or shade and out-competes native plants.
Krista Lang, land conservation technician at the park, said the plant also protects its territory by secreting chmicals into the soil that prevent other plants from
growing and changes the soil by killing soil microbes important to the function of oak woodlands.
The plant was identified at the 3,339-acre park in 2007. In 2011 and 2012, efforts began to control it.
