Book 5 Episode 4: You Can't Get There From Here
Why can't our heroes just have a quiet, romantic, little picnic?
Click here to read the new episode ...
Clockwork Alchemy 2016
How about we start this convention bloop with costumes for a change? The first pic is of Professor Pepper and his Musicalodium. It actually makes music! The next picture of the convocation of bobbies reminded Drake that he should always take his Mall Copper costume to Clockwork Alchemy so he can join in.
So Much Costume Fun!
We've always wondered what one does with funky, old, out-of-fashion neckties… and here it is. So.Much.Silk. Next: There's a new marshal in town and he's making Sparky think twice about robbing the bank (you know…on purpose). That's Drake wearin' his new custom cowboy hat from O'Farrell's in Santa Fe (the same nice folks who made the Sparky del Pecos hat). If the style looks familiar, it might be because this is the same style O'Farrell's designed for Sheriff Longmire. Of course, no Clockwork Alchemy costume bloop would be complete without at least one picture of Thena MacArthur in something magnificent. This regal purple ensemble was designed for the fashion show. After the show, she wore it around to make everyone in the Author's Alley jealous.
The really big news is that the Treehouse Writers released a joint anthology again this year, Thirty Days Later! Twelve Hours Later was such a success last year, we decided to do it again this year, but with stories separated by 30 days instead of just 12 hours. If you enjoyed Twelve Hours Later last year, catch us at a con in the coming year and get a copy of Thirty Days Later.
Thirty Days Later
A wise man once said that you have to celebrate the victories because that's how you differentiate them from the defeats. (Okay, Drake said that.) And the release of Thirty Days Later was definitely a victory. The authors had a spectacular release party at Spencer's.
Thirty Days Later Release Party
We first learned about splendid teapot racing while researching our 2015 Comic Con panel, "Steampunk as a Global Phenomenon." Clockwork Alchemy was the second convention in the US where we saw it included. We're super excited to see this sport take off.
Splendid Teapot Racer
Random diversion: a friend recently asked me if there are steampunk tattoos. He said he'd searched the web and hadn't found any good ones.
Yes, Chris, There are Epic Steampunk Tattoos
Our regular readers will know that Clockwork Alchemy always coincides (more or less) with Sparky's birthday. It's become a delightful excuse for weekend-long celebrations with friends which are Sparky's favorite birthday present always. The Messenger-Sikes Cabal organized a small soiree in their room complete with birthday wine (we swear that's a "thing"). Dover Whitecliff exercised her artistic skills to render this scene from "The Hawaiian Triple-Cross" on a birthday card. Vive la France!
Birthday Fun
Dover's author table was one of the stops on the scavenger hunt. At some point in the weekend she switched from requiring the scavengers to read from the back of a book in Author's Alley to making them sing a birthday song to Sparky. This resulted in some truly interesting birthday tunes. Who knew there was an apocalyptic birthday ditty?
Okay, it really was a real convention, where we did presentations, and some performing and everything.
Our Busy Schedule
First up: Character Creation Laboratory with the Messenger-Sikes Cabal. A few of the teams wound up producing stories that integrated all their characters. Sparky thinks her team should actually write up their story and get it published.
Character Creation Laboratory
What? You were thinking there was no Hot Potato School of Writing™? Oh, you read the schedule, so you know we weren't going to leave you hanging. The Messenger-Sikes Cabal is getting to be old hands at this, so we threw them a curve with new plot points. "We told you not to flush that cephalopod; they will just breed in the sewers."
Hot Potato School of Writing™
And last, but not least, we sat on Anthony Francis' panel on writing Victorian science fiction. Although we've known these fellow authors for several years and written two anthologies with them, it's still interesting to hear how our perspectives on our chosen genre vary.
Writing Victorian Science Fiction
You might have noticed that most of our pics were taken in Author's Alley. We spent most of our time going between our table and the Author's Salon for panels. So while we didn't get to see a lot of our friends perform, like the Aether Brigade…
O Aether Brigade, Where Art Thou?
…our efforts did result in this.
Sold Out!
By now we know that we don't have to say this, but - see y'all next year!
Wild West Steam Fest 2016
View from the Porch of the Kellogg House
It was picnic perfect.
Pickanick Basket Anyone?
Lots of friends were there, enjoying the programming and the shady elegance.
Pausing for a Brief Respite on the Kellogg House Porch
The Wild West Steam Fest added regularly scheduled gun fights (wonderfully played by the Guns and Garters Old West Reenactment group) that were sprinkled throughout the day.
Look What You Done!
What's that you say? Were there shenanigans? Really, do you even need to ask?
Which One is the Sidekick?
Masks by the Brass Wardrobe. Thanks to Bob Mogg for these comic pics of our masked heroes and for the cool panoramic view of the Kellogg House porch above. And speaking of Bob, also known as the Iron Tailor, he gave an incredibly educational bandolier workshop. It was really clear and informative. Even Sparky got to feeling like she might be able to tackle one of these projects.
The Iron Tailor Explains Bandoliers
The Star Wars Steampunk Universe was out in Force….ahaha. And Sparky won a patch by answering one of Dude Vader's trivia questions. It will straight onto her steampunk denim jacket.
Star Wars Steampunk Universe
Deus Ex Vapore Machina was there playing sets in the gazebo throughout the day, so we stopped by several times in between shopping and panels to hear several songs.
Deus Ex Vapore Machina
And you know we can't resist a few pics of cool costumes we spotted.
New Costume Creativity
Because it was a one-day event, we had a short presentation schedule; we just did Drake & McTrowell's Theatre of the Historically Improbable™. Thanks to Debra Brunner for being such a good sport and participating in both the skit and the sock-puppet reading.
"Green Grass, Brown Well" and "The Evil Cheesemonger"
Like many steampunk conventions, this one had a costume contest. What was special about this one was the number of girls in amazing adventure costumes. Seriously, doesn''t the one on the left look like a young Sparky McTrowell? But they all looked incredible and steampunky.
You're Never Too Young to be a Steampunk Adventuress
Here's hoping that the Heritage Museum saw the benefit of the event and lets Noelle do it again next year.
Festival of Fools 2016
Who's Ready for Some Foolishness?
Festival of Fools Poster
We started the festivities by appearing on San Diego Living on the local CW station. We steampunked the hosts, Lynda Martin and Clint August.
San Diego Living
Drake pitched in by creating the brochure and map.
Festival of Fools Brochure
We thought we were in 2016, but it's possible we were in 1885.
Back to the Future
Because it was outdoors with lots of open space, we took the opportunity for some sporting and busking shenanigans. We broke out the croquet set.
Extreme Croquet
Let the Wookie Win
Even Doc Phineas Paid our Pitch a Visit
We did lots of juggling; Drake even taught a few lessons. We spent so much time busking and performing that we didn't have a lot of time to take pictures. We're grateful to Bethany Jackson, Hybrid Realities Cosplay, Michael Watson, and Debbie Boyd for many of the following pictures.
Juggling Fools
And another in our continuing series, "Separated at Birth…"
Separated at Birth?
We ran not one, but two, full sessions of Drake & McTrowell's Hot Potato School of Writing™. The first one was on the main stage. Judging by the pics, it had more than even our usual level of shenanigans.
Hot Potato School of Writing™ on the Main Stage
The second session was in the more casual setting of the Dreadful Lounge.
Open Air Hot Potato School of Writing™
Of course, no convention would be complete without a little music and dancing, compliments of Frenchy & the Punk.
Frenchy & the Punk
Plus Dancing
Um, What's Going on Here?
We hope to see you all there next year!
Until Next Year
Book 5 Episode 3: Leaving San Francisco
In this episode, Drake and Sparky address the issues of leaving Sparky's hometown.

Iron Horse 2016
Our Names in Lights…Sorta
We were traveling light, so we only did a couple of things. First, we participated in Joyce McCarthy's "Over 30 Cosplay" panel. A lot of our favorite "usual suspects" were there and we had a lively discussion.
Over 30 Cosplay Panel
We did another round of Drake & McTrowell's Theatre of the Historically Improbable™. Even with a completely different company, it was completely wacky.
Don't Try This at Home, Kiddies; We're Rank Amateurs
(Carol Silver, thanks for taking these pictures!)
Okay, we did squeeze in a couple of other shenanigans. We hung with the Atlantean Foundation for quite a bit of the afternoon, complete with singing on the train because…Atlantean Foundation. It's what they do. The other thing they do is set up an awesomely detailed encampment and bestow superbly gracious hospitality on their friends.
Attending Iron Horse, Atlantean-Style
And it seems like it's been forever since we managed to catch one of Poplock Holmes' shows. Sparky danced to her heart's content, but skipped the "signing directly on the fans" fun at the end.
And it wouldn't be one of our convention bloops without some nods to the costumes that really tickled our fancies.
It Wouldn't Be Steampunk Without the Costumes

Reviews for Children's Hospital Of Pittsburgh Foundation
My son was born with a congenital disorder that has caused him to endure more than thirty surgeries at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC. If not for the outstanding care that he has received, he would not be alive today. Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh Foundation ensures that all children receive the same state-of-the-art, patient & family-centered care that my son has received by raising much needed awareness and funds. The foundation staff works dilligently and tirelessly for our children to raise funds to support the Free Care Fund, Equipment, and Programatic needs that otherwise would not be offered. Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC is able to care for all children regardless of their insurance and ability to pay because of the hard work and dedication of the foundation staff. I whole-heartedly support Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh Foundation, and feel fortunate that we have a wonderful foundation who supports our children through their outstanding efforts.

Teaching Writing Teachers: of High School English and First-Year Composition / Edition 1by Richard Gebhardt
Pub. Date: 03/12/2002
Publisher: Heinemann
What do writing teachers need to know? And what do they need to know how to do? Robert Tremmel and William Broz found that many of the answers to these questions revolve around a commonality of concerns and issues among high school teachers and teachers of the first-year college comp course. Yet the two levels of teachers are rarely thought of together, despite the
What do writing teachers need to know? And what do they need to know how to do? Robert Tremmel and William Broz found that many of the answers to these questions revolve around a commonality of concerns and issues among high school teachers and teachers of the first-year college comp course. Yet the two levels of teachers are rarely thought of together, despite the fact that they share pedagogies with similar points of origin and content. This book changes that with a collection of essays assembling current, straightforward accounts of writing teacher education courses and programs at both the secondary and first-year college levels. These accounts in turn can serve as guides for program directors and professors in both venues for preparing beginning teachers of writing.
Tremmel and Broz have another purpose as well: to open up discussion of the gap between these two levels of teacher education and writing instruction which have operated separately for twenty years or so. They argue that the needs of students, teachers, and teacher educators at both levels would be better served if first-year comp and secondary education were more closely aligned. In the Introduction, Tremmel gives a complete account to date of the history of writing teacher education in English education and first-year composition, demonstrating the natural and historic connections between these two levels of teacher preparation. Each chapter of the book contains an account of a contributing writer's specific course or program, which will be of particular benefit to professors and program directors in search of methodologies. In addition, these accounts detail management techniques, assignments, evaluation, and novel approaches that have proven effective in writing instruction.
Writing teacher education is a curiously overlooked area in language arts and teacher education. And few, if any books, take on the issue of the relationship between writing teacher education (and, indirectly, the writing curriculum) at the secondary and university levels. With three recurring themes-writing practice, reflection, and mentoring new members of the profession-Tremmel, Broz, and hands-on practitioners make a solid case that high school and first-year comp teachers would benefit from more contact and more unified courses and programs.

A California Distinguished School 1989

10551 Center Drive
Villa Park, CA 92861
(714) 997-6281
Principal: Raeanne Lopez-Little
Enrollment: 640
Grades: K - 6
Vision: Our vision at Villa Park Elementary School is to provide all our students with access to the Core curriculum and teach them the essential standards that are necessary for their successful next step in the educational continuum-that of middle school. In addition to these academic goals, we also envision sending our students forward with a sense of who they are and how their actions determine what others think of them.
- Promote growth in all academic areas
- Provide a safe and nurturing environment
- Foster school as a place of community
- Encourage responsibility, fairness, trustworthiness, integrity and respect
- Promote tolerance and acceptance
Welcome to the 2015-2016 School Year! I am honored to carry forward the legacy of high achievement, a supportive learning environment, and outstanding community involvement at Villa Park Elementary as your new principal. I am passionate about fostering a collaborative environment that encourages students, and the adults who engage them, to go beyond what they thought possible. I feel privileged to be entrusted with the leadership of this outstanding school, and I look forward to learning how together we can build upon our successes to promote growth for all students.
I am a proud Bruin, and began my teaching career in Los Angeles and Torrance before joining Orange Unified in 1997. Throughout my 25 year career, I've served as an assistant principal, primary and upper elementary teacher, bilingual teacher, GATE teacher, reading specialist, teacher trainer, and coordinator of supplemental programs for parents and students. Each role has given me a distinct perspective how to challenge and nurture diverse students, and how to support their parents and teachers.
My husband and I are long time Orange Unified residents, and are grateful that our two children's education in Orange Unified prepared them for success in college and career. I am thrilled to lead a school where professionals, parents, and the community members are committed to providing all students the 21st Century learning experiences needed for success from kindergarten to college and beyond.
I welcome your input and as we move forward together for our children. When you see me on campus or in the community, please take a moment to introduce yourself, or reach out to me via email firstname.lastname@example.com or phone (714) 997-6281. On behalf of the outstanding Villa Park Elementary staff, I wish you a wonderful school year.

I wonder if these Muslims were abiding by their Quran when they did this.
If so, their God is most definitely not related to our God!
Proverbs 12:10 says this
Whoever is righteous has regard for the life of his beast, but the mercy of the wicked is cruel.
Leviticus 19:32 "Rise in the presence of the aged, show respect for the elderly."
But I do suppose they could be just outlaws, not abiding by the teachings of their religion. God knows, there are people who claim to be Christian but don't follow the teachings of Christ.
Anonymous Coward 2849260
Muslims follow both the Quran and Hadiths.
From Bukhari Vol. 4, #540
Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar:
Allah's Apostle ordered that the dogs should be killed.
From Muslim #3814
Ibn Mughaffal reported: A
llah's messenger ordered the killing of dogs
Anonymous Coward 28010201
Let me ask you this then? Who created the dogs? Why would God create something that had no purpose in life? After creation, God called his creation 'GOOD.' What gave Allah's messenger the authority to call God a liar? I think you worship a devil, and I hope God takes care of you people very, very soon.

Peter's voice is haunting and heartbreaking. His pleas for people to remember, to believe, will stay with you long after the book has ended."
— Kyla Paterno, Garfield Book Company at PLU, Tacoma, WA
What was it like hiding in the Annex with Anne Frank? To be with Anne every day while she wrote so passionately in her diary? To be in a secret world within a world at war alive on the inside, everything dying on the outside?
Peter Van Pels and his family have lost their country, their home, and their freedom, and now they are fighting desperately to remain alive.
Look through Peter's eyes.
He has a story to tell, too.
Are you listening?

From the First Bite: A Complete Guide to Recovery from Food Addiction
Health Communications, Incorporated, Oct 1, 2000 - Self-Help - 250 pages
Renowned therapist, eating disorder specialist and recovering food addict Kay Sheppard helps countless individuals win their battles over food addiction-people for whom diets, pills and purging have become a way of life. In 1993, her groundbreaking book, Food Addiction: The Body Knows, explained the illness of food addiction from the physiological origins through recovery.
Today, obesity is on the rise. In addition to the 300,000 overweight people in this country, millions more who may not look overweight are unable to control their eating.
Sheppard's follow-up book, From the First Biteoffers the latest medical insights into food addiction coupled with time-tested, practical advice.
Unlike other books that are very dry in nature, this book includes compelling personal stories and do's and don'ts from other recovering and relapsed food addicts, including the author herself, who began her own recovery in 1967. The book explains how to avoid the physiological and situational triggers that lead to relapse; how to confront the emotional issues behind food cravings; how to establish a balanced food plan that eliminates cravings; and how to avoid hidden dangers in cleverly packaged foods. The book also includes a handy Twelve-Step workbook.
Just as Sheppard's first book broke new ground, her latest work offers a critical first step for food addicts on the road to physical, emotional and spiritual recovery.

4 friends playing accessible, mathy, post-rock.
"distressed post-rock with vocals that sound like an SOS call after a city-leveling disaster. Their music comes out at a frenzied pace: not incredibly fast, but instead shuffling through rubble with swiveling heads and ringing ears, looking for loved ones. Lost in shaky scenes."
"The exuberant and engaging effort (streaming below) blasts off with aggressive, mathy indie rock that rides taut, tenacious riffs and rumbling rhythms to gratifying catharses that most often hinge on raucous gang vocals. Structures shift throughout, but the band's ability to cultivate and diffuse tension is a constant that keeps the album running smoothly. As impressive as this young outfit's execution is, sequencing is the real boon of their EP. Intensity builds throughout, growing steadily with each song. Guitars become sharper and more angular, drums become more physical, and bass lines tighten their strangle-hold on your ear drums. By "Red Tide," the album's furious and fascinating closer, their energetic precision reaches its peak, pushing and pulling with unhinged momentum."
"Seemingly irrelevant refrains are tossed in to the material, yet that very lack of structure makes for the strength of the band. The tracks are delivered with an infectious energy and enthusiasm that has the listener firmly engrossed wanting to find out in which direction in which Virgin Lung will throw the mind next, it will be interesting to hear how the band develop over the future. I can imagine them being an instant hit as SxSW."
"Some very mathy post-rock from North Carolina. The first track on the EP has a different sound than the rest (more soft and pop-like), so do make sure to keep listening even if that's song isn't your jam. As the EP carries on it gets fast and a bit harder. A pretty good beginning of something.."
"The band crafts songs that are mostly instrumental and whose vocals cheer or bellow. Together they've made music that heartily eschews the verse-chorus-verse construction and built songs based on multiple ideas coming together. It's not cohesion of singular riffs but a marriage of music that resembles a rich tapestry of emotions, albeit cohesion that absolutely rocks."
"I thought you dudes looked like a bunch of pussies but then i heard you play and I was like: 'holy shit!' What the hell? Who are you guys?"

I am a Certified Spanish Teacher who recently moved to NH. I am friendly and easy-going, but expect the best effort from my students.
I am well traveled and have experienced different Spanish/Hispanic Cultures. I am fully fluent, if not bi-lingual. I am able to converse with anyone in Spanish, as well as American English. I was born and raised in New England, but many native Spanish-speakers ask me what country I am from.
I believe that a student will retain more of what is taught if they enjoy their lessons, so I try to make learning fun. I use a TPR approach to learning. If every part of the senses are involved in learning, the learning is more complete. We won't just talk about foods, we will try different foods. We will make appropriate gestures when greeting someone.

Amy did a wonderful job bridging the gap in Spanish II instruction for my son who missed 10+ days of school due to a concussion. He found her assistance extremely helpful and is now all caught up and back on track with the current material in the class. I truly appreciate all her talents in working with him on such short notice. I would highly recommend her services to anyone struggling with high school Spanish. She is very apt with the Spanish language and was very easy to work with.
Approved subjects are in bold.
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
I have taught very basic Spanish (Resource Level) through Advanced Conversational Spanish. I have spent a good amount of time in Guatemala and other Spanish-speaking countries, so I consider my self fully fluent, if not bilingual.

DEFINITION of 'Revenue Seat Miles'
The number of miles a plane flies multiplied by the number of passenger seats available per flight. Revenue seat miles, more commonly called available seat miles, are one of the air transport traffic and capacity statistics that airlines must report to the government under section 298.61 of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations.
BREAKING DOWN 'Revenue Seat Miles'
It is difficult to remain profitable in the airline industry, as evidenced by the chapter 11 bankruptcy filings of numerous major air carriers, including Delta, American and Northwest. Layoffs and wage cuts have plagued airline employees as airlines have struggled to deal with high operating expenses for fuel, aircraft, gate fees, pension funds and union labor contracts. Air travel also has high demand elasticity, so when customers experience a small decline in income, they will cut back significantly on air travel.

Heart Failure Health Center
Heart Failure Overview
In this article
What Are the Types of Heart Failure?
Systolic heart failure happens when the heart muscle doesn't squeeze with enough force. As a result, less oxygen-rich blood is pumped throughout the body.
Diastolic heart failure is when the heart squeezes normally, but the ventricle -- the main pumping chamber -- does not relax properly. This lowers the amount of blood that can enter the heart and raises blood pressure in the lungs. This can lead to fluid in the lungs, legs, and even the belly.
A test called the ejection fraction (EF) is used to measure how well your heart pumps with each beat to see if you have systolic or diastolic heart failure. Your doctor may mention an ejection fraction. That's the percentage of blood your heart pumps out with each beat. Your doctor can discuss which condition you have.
If you have systolic heart failure, your ejection fraction is less than 40%. Imaging studies like an echocardiogram may show the heart is enlarged and pumps out less than a normal amount of blood with each beat.
People with diastolic heart failure usually have a normal ejection fraction and normal heart pumping. But an echocardiogram shows that the heart does not fill up with blood properly between beats.
Stages of Heart Failure
In 2001, the American Heart Association and American College of Cardiology developed the "stages of heart failure." These stages, which were updated in 2005, will help you understand that heart failure can get worse over time. They will also help you understand why a new medication was added to your treatment plan and may help you understand why lifestyle changes and other treatments are needed.
Ask your doctor what stage of heart failure you are in.
Check the table below to see if your therapy matches the recommendations. Note that you can't go backward in stage, only forward.
The table below outlines a basic plan of care that may or may not apply to you, based on the cause of your heart failure and your special needs. Ask your doctor to explain therapies that are listed if you do not understand why you are or are not getting them.

Nate Allen is a columnist for the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. A graduate of the University of Missouri, Allen is a voter for the Heisman Trophy. He has authored three books about the Razorbacks.
Lunney excited about tight end crop
Arkansas tight ends coach Barry Lunney Jr. works with Austin Tate during an April 6, 2013 practice at Razorback Stadium in Fayetteville.
FAYETTEVILLE — As the Arkansas Razorbacks' most touted homegrown freshman phenom of 1992, Barry Lunney Jr. seems especially equipped to coach the Razorbacks' most touted homegrown freshman phenom of 2013.
Lunney Jr., arriving in Fayetteville with 1992 fanfare as an All-State quarterback from Fort Smith Southside, is in his first year coaching Razorbacks tight ends. Thus, he will coach Hunter Henry, the Parade High School All-American tight end from Pulaski Academy.
The comparison from his 1992 past to Henry's 2013 present is flattering, Lunney said, but not accurate.
"Obviously he was way more touted than I was coming out," Lunney said. "The multi-media, the Twitter, the Facebook the recruiting services, none of that was around when I was around."
Not that Henry needs Twitter and Facebook to be publicized, Lunney said.
"Knowing Hunter's skill set and seeing his body makes perfect sense why he got the attention he got from a national standpoint in recruiting services and those type of things," Lunney said. "Because he does have a special combination of size (6-6, 245) and agility. Those guys are hard to find."
Even harder to find are those guys not fancying themselves as special as their physical gifts.
The team recognizes that, Lunney said.
"There was no sense that wehave got this freshman guy coming in that's Mr. All-Everything," Lunney said. "Hunter is an incredibly easy kid to get along with and be a teammate of because he is humble and carries himself quietly. He's just a well-mannered young man and I think that has made it easy for him to be incorporated like that."
It's been all the easier because Austin Tate, the fifth-year senior tight end from Harrison, mentors Henry just like D.J. Williams and Chris Gragg, former Razorbacks tight ends graduated to the NFL, once mentored Tate.
"No doubt Austin is the father figure of that group," Lunney said. "We call him Paw-Paw sometimes because he has been around for awhile. He has been great with Hunter and the other ones to mentor them. And Austin was mentored by some great ones here — D.J. and Chris. There is a lineage there of excelling that hopefully is going to continue to get passed down and will be there for awhile."
Lunney coaches two sophomores who lettered last season, Mitch Loewen, listed as first team when spring drills ended, and Alex Voelzke who caught a 22-yard touchdown in 2012. Lunney also coaches redshirt freshman Jeremy Sprinkle of White Hall.
Loewen, 6-4, 271, and Voelzke, 6-6, 250, are big blockers.
Tate, a 6-6, 259, three-year letterman, has done everything from special teams and H-back and almost strictly blocker to catching the majority of tight end passes (14 for 111 yards) once Gragg exited with a 2012 season-ending injury.
Sprinkle, 6-6, "is fast and can catch," Lunney said.
"We're excited about the dynamics that the room brings," Lunney said. "It's not just one guy or two guys. We have a room full of guys that can contribute in our offense and special teams."

Bob Downs, president of Planet Bike, was in town a little while ago, and he and his group stopped into the bike shop. One of the things on their mind was an item with which I've recently become enamored: generator lights. It seems that Planet Bike will be bringing their expertise with LEDs to the generator light market.
As much as battery technology has improved, I just have never trusted any battery system more complex than a set of rechargeable AAs. Honestly, I think this goes back to my humiliation in university courses in circuits. All those diagrams just seemed like Sanskrit to me. Give me Physics 1 or Statics…stuff I can see. I intuitively feel better about relying on a small powerplant built into my hub than the alchemy of li-ion or metal-hydroxide battery packs.
Give me a power supply that is always ready when I ride. Something like the Shimano Alfine dyno-hub, or if you are flush with money you can get the Benz of generator hubs, the Schmidt. Planet Bike is adapting their excellent 1W Blaze LED headlight to the generator application, bringing the high performance and dead-on dependability of modern LED technology to a market that largely still relies on halogen-type systems.
It seems like the light itself is almost ready to go, but Downs' group was mulling over mounting options. Visually, it's a 1W Blaze with a wire exiting the rear, and so far the graphics on the casing are the same as the regular version. Look for the generator-powered Blaze next season.

While I've been in the trench warfare of flat tires and greasy chains, I've been wondering about the larger picture, keeping a look out for industry, market, and technology trends. I'm not talking about wishful thinking about what I'd like to see happen; I mean, I'd like to wake up to Jessica Alba in a thong cleaning my drivetrain, but that's not very likely. I'm talking about forecasting what will happen in the next two years.
The first year is rather easy, because all the industry players already know what they'll be serving up for 2009. The only question is if the manufacturers, particularly component manufacturers, can meet their deadlines and quotas, but if you listen carefully you can get a good picture of what's coming.
First, I can tell you something that is guaranteed: prices are going up. This has to do with labour cost in China, the continued fall of the once almighty dollar, and transportation costs among many factors. To you the consumer this means a likely 10% increase in retail prices of complete bikes in 2009, and it could be worse for some items, particularly out of Europe.
The 29-er mtb will continue to become a viable alternative within the mtb market. This has to do with the proliferation of manufacturers making products catering to the 29-er segment. Besides the obvious tires, rims, and frames, the introduction of top quality suspension forks with geometry selected to enhance the handling of big wheels (ie increased rake) will validate the 29-ers.
Personally I wonder if the upstart 650B mtb will disappear into the widening chasm between the traditional 26-in and the new 29-er. As the 29-er asserts its presence and gains momentum, I can't see that there'd be that much of a demand for a stop-gate solution like a knobby 650B. The mtb market has shrunk somewhat in recent years. Striking out into the 650B realm makes sense as a way to create a new market niche, but modern mtb design consists of a large number of manufacturers contributing subsystems to each rideable unit. In other words, it's gonna take more than 3 guys building knobby 650B frames and another guy to hand-make the tires to get knobby 650B off the ground. The big component manufacturers aren't going to make tires, rims, and forks for 26, 29, and 650B.
For road bikes, I predict that over the next two years the entry-level and mid-range will be strong. I think that we may see a move to more versatile bikes in that range, as more people feel the teeth of the imminent economic recession and rising fuel costs. Some people are gonna notice that they could save an assload of money by giving up the gym membership and riding a bike to work. By versatility I mean rack and fender eyelets will return to performance bikes after two decades of being unstylish.
Steel will make a comeback. Up until now, that statement would only come from a retro-grouch in serious denial. But there are some signs. The messenger cult has elevated handmade Japanese frames to holy status and the proliferation of small handmade builders, as well as the media attention they have garnered, hasn't gone totally unnoticed. Meanwhile, the demand for vintage Italian road frames echoes the rise of vintage motorscooters a few years back. Take a look at other industries. Volkswagon introduced a new Beetle to massive fanfare, and Vespa scoooters both old and new are fashionable as ever. Bianchi already has solid plans to return steel bikes to their US offerings.
Made in Taiwan will become a sign of quality. Western Europe and Japan have become too expensive as locations for manufacturing below the premium level, and even then most of the subcomponents likely come from Taiwan. China, Southeast Asia, and Eastern Europe are the new sources for budget parts. Taiwan has become the place for carbon fibre production and most forged aluminium. Taiwanese quality control is pretty tight nowadays. The reputation of Chinese products has suffered in the media as of late.
The rising fuel costs and (hopefully) improved infrastructure for bicycles should theoretically pave the way for growth in the industry. But hard economic times won't leave cycling untouched. Of course, there is a feeling in retail that the rich buy their toys and tell the plebes to eat cake, so I don't really expect much change at the very top level. As long as $9k Colnagos are still cool, there will be buyers. Yet when individuals and families have less disposable income, retailers will see decreases. But if more of the public sees a bicycle as more than just a toy, cycling could rise to greater heights

The wheels of progress never stop turning at SDOT, who managed to get some green gravely material down in a couple of locations this week after months of anticipation. We've posted about the green lanes before, it's great to see they're making their way into the real world. I rode down to take a look this morning, and I can confirm it's really, really green.
My ride this morning showed that the schematic's spot on (including the fact that the bike lane ceases to exist for the first half of the next block on Stone Way). The new lane is designed to help cyclists transition from the right hand edge of the road, across a lane of traffic into the proper spot (the new green wedge) to start from if you're proceeding forward. The wedge serves pretty well here, clearly indicating where you should be.
The approach to the wedge is still a bit paltry. It's a simple green dashed line crossing the existing lane of traffic. I was really expecting a full green lane that indicates the bike lane crosses traffic here, but that's not to be apparently. No arrows, or other markings that I saw to indicate this is bike territory (but I could have missed something).
Also, the lane change is quite close to the intersection. Unfortunately this is one of the longest lights in Seattle and traffic tends to get backed up. I couldn't actually ride the new marked changes because it was already underneath a car. I can imagine markings big and bold enough that cars wouldn't stop on them.
The green of the wedge is made up of what seems to be tiny, green rocks glued down to the roadway. Think green pop-rocks and you've got the size and texture right. Definitely not slippery, which has been a complaint about roadway markings from cyclists in the past. I'm sure it's very durable, but the top layer wasn't entirely secured and now there are little green pop-rocks migrating around the intersection.
I'm all for facilities improvements, and good on SDOT for getting this done. I'd much rather see bike boxes and full on
blue green lanes that cross intersections. Maybe these will come in the next round of improvements.

I managed to cajole a friend into taking some snaps from the Sustainable West Seattle fair this Saturday. It's clear from the evidence that West Seattle is sustaining more than it's fair share of cycles, including of the cargo, electric and kid variety, let alone the electric cargo fuzzy dice category. Great day for a fair, sounds like wonderful time was had by all.
