Speedplay pedals are our best sellers by a huge margin. We're sure that the sales are driven by the design, and those of us that ride Speedplays know exactly why this is the case. Their performance is second only to their simplicity.
But like anything else in this world, if you want it to last, you'll need to do a bit of maintenance. The Speedplay Grease Gun is specifically designed to make re-lubing the spindle bearings an easy task. It's a small bodied grease gun that takes a cartridge (it comes with a 3oz tube of Sta-Lube Marine Grease) that gets housed inside the grease gun handle. It has a needle tip to allow direct grease injection in X, Zero, Light Action, and Frog pedals. For older X/1 and X/2 pedals, you'll need to install current dust caps with the provision for the needle tip. For all Speedplay pedals, you'll just pump in fresh grease, purging the body of gunky, dirty grease until you see fresh stuff come out the other side. Simply wipe off the excess and you'll be ready for the ride.
- Works with all Speedplay pedals
- Direct injection for X, Zero, Light Action, and Frog pedals
- New dust caps needed for X/1 and X/2 pedal injection
- Includes lube

Can't get this to work
This looks like it is supposed to work similar to a caulking gun. I put it together per the instructions but can not get grease to come out of the nozzle. I took it apart and put it together again but still nada. No big pressure when I press the handle and no great out the tip. I have not seen any resolutions to this online so will call customer service.
Does the job.
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Nothing special here. It's a cartridge style grease gun with the pointed tip which works on certain types of grease fittings. Or, in this case, Speedplay pedals. There are other guns that I am sure are as good or better available from automotive or tool suppliers. I purchased this one when I ordered the pedals. I did not work so well on my older X1's, but is fine with the new Zero's.
Leaked and missing zerk fitting?
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I initially had a lot of problems setting up the grease gun. I put in the tube of grease and tried to screw on the top piece, but it doesn't screw down very well. In fact if you screw it down too tight, then it releases, which makes me think that something is up with the threads. It released and grease under pressure went everywhere. I scooped as much back in as I could, put the top back on and screwed it down lightly. After cleaning up, the grease gun now works and I've used it several times on my Speedplay Frogs. It seems to work well, but I'm not looking forward to installing a new tube of grease!
My other issue is that I was expecting the grease gun to have a zerk fitting so that I can use it with my new Chris King bottom bracket. The description on this site says it does, but the 5" extension that you get just has a small tip like the tip on the main gun. Maybe I'm mistaken, but I don't see any way to attach it to the Chris King bottom bracket tool.
Ultimately, I think I'll be giving up on this tool and finding another grease gun with a small tip to push in the Speedplay pedals and a zerk fitting.
Agree with Ben. This tool was a waste. Total pile of junk.
I was able to insert the tip of the Speedplay grease gun into the Chris King bottom bracket lube tool. Just push the tip into the lube tool and squeeze. I agree that it does not look like it will work, but it does.
Speed play grease gun
Easy to set up, easy to use.
gets the job done
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
It does the necessary job and trust me you will want to service your speedplays. It will make them last longer as well as running better which is free watts. however it is messy, wear glove when using, instructions are not super clear, you'll need a little patience.
Easy use
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Have speedplay's and want to make sure you are doing everything to keep them working well? You need this, now.
Major frustration and disappointment
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I tried to use this grease gun, but nothing I did could get grease to come out the nozzle. Opening the gun emptied the cartridge everywhere as there is no way to back out the pressure. There is no way to remove the spent cartridge. Push or pull, both fail. I'm sending the whole mess back as I cannot reassemble it.
I'm not sure what to do as this gun has to work in order to maintain speedplay pedals. Other guns won't mate well with the pedal grease port.
The instructions are left at 2 diagrams and 6 bullet points. There are no debug instructions for what to do if the gun doesn't work. There are no instructions for how to remove the spent cartridge (no, it sure as hell doesn't pop out on its own). This is possibly the single worst cycling purchase I have ever made.
Either: get lucky with your gun, find another gun that works with the pedals, or reconsider using speedplay pedals at all if they cannot be maintained by the owner with available tools.
Grease monkey
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
It's a grease gun... it got pretty greasy. Best to use with your bike against an immovable object. You have to apply a good bit of pressure to make sure the grease goes into the bearing. Took some trial and error and a bit of grease on the floor before I got it right.
Works great, and leaks.
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Good part: The gun works as described. Easily re-greased my Speedplay pedals, and probably works for many other jobs that require grease. Very simple to use.
Bad Part: When I was done I it put into my toolbox. A month or so later I open my toolbox to find grease had leaked out the back of the handle plunger all over everything else. Unfortunately I didn't realize it before the 30 day cut off for returns, so I guess I am stuck with it. No one else seems to have complained about this, so I probably got a bad seal or something. I keep it in a big ziplock bag and have to wipe it off when I use it. As I said it works great, but make sure it doesn't leak.
Ours just "blew up" the first time we tried to use it. Its hot and humid in Memphis but I didn't see any issues on the packaging. The pump would not lock and we've got grease all over the place.
I didn't have trouble with getting the pump to lock, the grease just wouldn't come out of the nozzle. Attempts to open the pump and investigate sent grease bursting out of the cartridge and all over everything. I can't even remove the now spent grease cartridge or reassemble the components. The instructions included are merely six text bullets and no clear pictures of how the gun is supposed to work. Speedplay should be almost as concerned about making this gun work properly as they are with pedal development. People likely to by the pedals are likely to want to be able to perform basic maintenance without the shop. This nuisance has me rethinking whether to switch pedal systems. Anything I can't maintain is a liability.
Convenient for Speedplay Pedals
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Yes you can find a grease gun for less at a hardware store, but the convenience of these, knowing that they're going to work with your Speedplays is worth the little bit extra. I've replaced the grease only once after about 1000km of mixed riding, and the old grease was definitely soiled. Once you unscrew the grease cap screw, you definitely need to apply a bit of pressure so that the grease doesn't leak out the cap, but you can definitely take your time and if the cap starts to pop out, just push it back in, which helps facilitate the new grease going through to the other side. The grease tube was a little messy on installation, but, hey, when you're wrenchin' you're gonna get a little dirty. This is definitely not a living room operation.
And hey - now you've got a grease gun.
A most have if you own SpeedPlay pedals!
I live in Korea and the humidity here is very high so I wanted to keep my SpeedPlay pedals working like new for many seasons to come. I admit the first time I tried using this grease gun I had no clue how to work it but I went to SpeedPlays website and looked at the video showing the proper usage of this grease gun. The video is simple to follow and instructions are easy to understand. After one ride I re-greased my pedals just the way the video explains it and everything worked great. I hope if you're using SpeedPlay pedals you purchase this grease gun too.
Grease gun use
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I am the only one in my bicycling group to own this device. I find it somewhat difficult to use on certain bikes, including my own. I often can't seem to push the old grease out of the pedal and push the new grease from the gun into the pedal. Some of the grease from the gun seems to spill out of the grease cap and not through the pedal.
Keeps the pedals on form
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Yes, this synthetic lube works great for a number of applications. The included Zerk fitting works with the Chris King BB injector tool as if they were made for each other. Which is nice.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Works fantastically well for its designed/recomended use - obviously with SP pedals. Also great just to have around for various other uses. I've used this in hubs, headsets, bottom brackets and all manner of other grease requiring places on the bike and other household items where an easy grease application is required.
I'm glad it works for you. Mine refused to dispense any grease, then spewed grease everywhere. I can't remove the spent cartridge. It won't budge. I have a sack of grease gun parts. Worst cycling purchase ever. I'm rethinking my pedal choice, since this means I can't properly maintain them myself.

Andy Wright at Mother Jones nails everything wrong with Mars's new candy bars for the lady market so perfectly, I can't even add anything. I can only quote:
Predictably, one of the hot selling points for the Fling bar is that "at under 85 calories per finger, it's slim, but not skinny. Indulgent but not greedy. Naughty but nice." In other words, the candy perfectly straddles the contradictions of the angel/whore dilemma in a way its intended female consumers never will…. The PR packages that went out to media outlets contained sheer T-shirts that read "Try It In Public," equating the act of women consuming sweets in front of other people with being as taboo as committing sex acts in front of them.
Seriously, read the whole thing. Then come back here and scream.

Broncos waive WR Jamel Hamler
The Broncos waived receiver Jamel Hamler after reaching an injury settlement with the undrafted rookie from Fresno State.
Hamler received a $10,000 bonus to sign with the Broncos. Only practice squad offensive tackle Adam Grant received a higher bonus at $12,000.
Hamler caught a 6-yard pass from Brady Quinn in the fourth quarter of the Broncos' first preseason game at Dallas. The receiver later suffered a back injury, though, and didn't play the rest of the preseason. He was placed on injured reserve on Sept. 3 as the Broncos got down to their 53-man roster.

The creators of the PR2 robot are finally done making it fold their laundry. Now they've finally put it to some good, honest labour: billiards. It's just like The colour of Money, except Paul Newman is a task-oriented robot.
It was a unique challenge for the Willow Garage team responsible for PR2: a special grip and bridge had to be made so the PR2 could use a cue, not to mention all the difficulty of ball location, shot planning, and getting that tiny chalk cube into PR2's giant robot claws.
The robot didn't complete a full game but it did sink five balls, which is better than I can do. And considering the whole process of making the PR2 pool-capable took a week, it bodes well for the future, when robots who wander into the seedy part of town will be able to fend for themselves in casual physics-based table games.

Diabetes is a condition that causes high blood glucose levels. These high levels can damage blood vessels, major organs, and nerves. This damage can lead to kidney failure , heart attacks , amputation, and blindness. Keeping blood glucose levels in recommended range can significantly reduce the risk for these illnesses. Blood glucose control can be accomplished with a combination of lifestyle habits like diet and exercise, medication, and self-monitoring of blood glucose levels. These are all important components of therapy.
The Center for Health Studies in Seattle reviewed the benefits of a web-based support system for people that needed to make diabetes management changes. The study, published in Diabetes Care , found that a web-based program may help people lower their blood glucose levels.
About the Study
The randomized trial followed 83 adults with type 2 diabetes . They were randomly divided into one of two groups:
- Usual care group—one consult given at the beginning of the program with information about making changes
- Web-based care group—regular online interactions with providers or nurses, educational information, and interactive diary and glucose reading feedback
The participants were followed for a 12-month period. At the end of the review, participants in the web-based group lowered their average glucose levels more than the usual care group did.
This was a small study. Usually, the larger the study, the more accurate the results. The study was also not able to blind the participants because of the study format. This may allow biases in care or in participants' perceptions. This can also affect the size or accuracy of the results.
How Does This Affect You?
Several studies have shown that it can be difficult for people to adopt long-term lifestyle changes. Having a support system is often important in making effective changes. A tracking and recording program is also known to be effective. While there were some problems with the study structure it does appear that the web-based programs can offer effective support. A web-based program should be considered for anyone that needs to make lifestyle changes. If you are struggling with certain lifestyle changes, your doctor may be able to refer you to resources. Look for programs through trusted organizations such as the American Diabetes Association.

The Future of Faith
Unabridged Audiobook
Written By: Harvey Cox
Narrated By: Don Hagen
Publisher: HarperAudio
Date: May 2011
Duration: 7 hours 56 minutes
"A beautiful book and a Cox classic....Readers will be grateful that they joined him on his journey." -E.J. Dionne Jr., author of Souled Out
"Insightful, provocative, and inspiring-I even found myself uttering a hearty evangelical 'Amen!'" -Richard Mouw, President, Fuller Theological Seminary, and author of Calvinism in the Las Vegas Airport
The Future of Faith is Harvard religion scholar Harvey Cox's landmark exploration of why Christian dogmatism is giving way to a grassroots Christianity rooted in social justice and spirituality. Cox laid the groundwork for modern religious writing with his 1965 classic, The Secular City, paving the way for writers like Diana Butler Bass, Karen Armstrong, Stephen Prothero, and Deepak Chopra, who calls The Future of Faith "a fresh vision for the resurrection of a new global Christianity."

Sweet Chestnut Trees
Sweet Chestnut Trees [Castanea sativa] have been grown in this country for many years. Johns Market Garden offers a wide range of these fascinating and rewarding Sweet Chestnuts. Sweet Chestnuts are perfectly hardy trees and can mature into large specimens 20 plus. You do need room for a Sweet Chestnut tree. Maybe you could plant one in a larger lawn, or maybe a Sweet Chestnut tree in your paddock or field margin. The leaves of the Sweet Chestnut tree are long, shiny and very toothed. In Autumn Sweet Chestnut Trees turn a deep and shimmering rustic gold. In Spring too the Sweet Chestnut Tree is a magical site as the long drooping catkins appear. Sweet Chestnut Trees usually begin to crop after about 5 years. This time might be shorter if you plant one of the newer French varieties of Sweet Chestnut Trees such as Maraval or Marigoule.[more...]

A Great Night's Sleep Starts in the Laundry Room with the New Sweet Dreams Collection®
New fabric care regimen helps our 24/7 world "Tuck In. and Turn Off."
Public Company Information:
CINCINNATI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Procter & Gamble (NYSE:PG) is supporting the National Sleep Foundation's Sleep Awareness WeekTM 2014 with the launch of its newest fabric care regimen, the Sweet Dreams Collection. The line of products is formulated with ingredients to clean, soften and freshen all your bedtime fabrics, from your linens to your pajamas, helping to create an ideal sleep environment so that consumers can relax in order to fall asleep. The regimen, all of which are official products of the National Sleep Foundation, includes: Tide® plus A touch of Downy™ Sweet Dreams™, Downy® UNSTOPABLES® Dreams™, Downy Infusions® Sweet Dreams™ and Bounce® Sweet Dreams™.
In today's 24/7 world, people are often going right up until they have to get to bed—leaving them unable to turn off their minds. In fact, according to the National Sleep Foundation (NSF), 41 percent of Americans report having problems with tossing and turning at least a few nights a week.1 P&G is partnering with two such sufferers, celebrity physician and wellness expert, Dr. Ian Smith, as well as lifestyle expert and busy mom, Jeannette Kaplun. Both can personally attest to this issue as well as how great sleep can actually start in the laundry room with the use of the Sweet Dreams Collection on bedtime fabrics.
"It's hard to unwind and turn off your mind at the end of the day especially when technology like laptops and smartphones are so readily accessible and easy to use in bed," said Dr. Smith. "In fact, the use of electronics before bedtime is one of the biggest issues doctors notice in patients who struggle to relax in order to fall asleep. That's why I recommend patients start with simple solutions I've tried myself like turning off electronics at least 30 minutes before bedtime and creating an ideal sleep environment including washing linens and pajamas in the Sweet Dreams Collection."
Often people jump to drastic measures to help with their sleep issues. However, according to a survey conducted by Healthcare Research & Analytics (HRA), 100 percent of doctors agree that an appropriate sleeping environment is critical to aid a person's ability to relax so they can fall asleep.2 What's more is that half of physicians would recommend their patients use clean, lavender scented bedtime fabrics as a way to help them relax so they can fall asleep.3 With the launch of the Sweet Dreams Collection, everyone has the opportunity to create an ideal sleep environment so they can tuck in and turn off.
"Tuck In. Turn Off." Pledge
With Daylight Saving Time approaching and an extra hour of sunlight ahead, many may experience increased trouble falling asleep. This is all the more reason for people to begin their bedtime routines in the laundry room and to take the "Tuck In. Turn Off." Pledge.
Many people are aware of the benefits of sleep, but with a variety of distractions, it can be difficult for people to relax in order for them to fall asleep. In fact, a recent HRA survey found that, 57 percent of doctors reported one of their patients' biggest hindrances to falling asleep is engaging in electronics such as phones, computers, iPads and television too close to bedtime.4 The "Tuck In. Turn Off." Pledge aims to combat this by encouraging people to turn off their technology at least 30 minutes before bedtime and tuck in to clean fabrics infused with the soothing scent and softness of the Sweet Dreams Collection. The pledge can be taken online by visiting www.TuckInTurnOff.com.
"Tuck In. Turn Off." Tour
The Sweet Dreams Collection is joining forces with Dr. Ian Smith and Jeannette Kaplun to transform high-trafficked areas from coast to coast. Attendees will receive tips on how to relax so they can fall asleep including how to create a relaxing sleep environment with the Sweet Dreams Collection.
On Tuesday, February 25th the Sweet Dreams Collection will help New York City–the 'city that never sleeps'– tuck in for the night, in Grand Central's Vanderbilt Hall, between 9am and 6pm EST. Experts, including Dr. Ian Smith, will stop by to talk about the Sweet Dreams Collection benefits, interact with attendees and introduce them the "Tuck In. Turn Off." Pledge.
On Friday, March 7th the "Tuck in. Turn Off." Tour will travel to Los Angeles to put the 'city of dreams' to bed. The west coast "Tuck In. Turn Off." event will take place between 9am and 6pm PST at The Grove. Similar to the New York event, experts will be on hand to discuss how to create a relaxing sleep environment with the Sweet Dreams Collection.

From the classiest blogger you know.
From the classiest blogger you know.
Oh Kate, as per usual, you are the very personification of class…I'm just not sure how you manage it with a pair of noisemakers up your nose.
Happy 2009, my dear!
Ugh I posted under the wrong account. ilovejunk was me. See, I haven't learned anything about commenting gracefully yet, dammit!
Bwahahahaha! And a very happy new year's to you too, O noisemaker-nosed one, and to everyone on SP! :-D
HAHAHA! Awesome.
Happy new year to you as well!! Hope you enjoyed your leap second. :)
Nothing says "class with a capital k" like doing walrus imitations in a tiara. HOORAY KATE! HOORAY 2009!
I doubt that we have a huge percentage of gamers here, but I found something interesting and wanted to share.
Penny Arcade, a hugely popular web comic about video games, did their latest comic about a study showing that video games negatively affect people's body image. (Unlike movies and television, I guess.)
In his commentary, author Tycho offers the following: I'm sure it was meant to be grim, but for some reason that story about videogame characters giving men self-esteem issues as well had us in stitches. … We found the idea that it was even possible to like your body incredibly hilarious. I've never known a single person whose body was not a source of psychological torment, indeed, it can be seen as the sole conduit of all human suffering. Even in its most pristine condition, the body is a prison.
Despite what you may have heard, Kate Harding, as opposed to John Lennon, is the Walrus! ;)
GOO GOO GA CHOOB and Happy New Year to you all!
Happy new year everyone!!
Happy New Year to all you beautiful and amazing Shapelings!
Dude, Dan was just playing recorder with his nose this morning! It's like you guys have a mind meld.
Happy New Year, all! I'm proud to be among this tiny percentage of the population who will not be resolving to diet this year. (Did you know it's the number one most popular resolution? Gross.)
Kate, it looks like married life agrees with you. ;-)
Happy New Year!
Very awesome. The jaunty thumbs up makes it.
Wow, that looks like something I would do! XD
You still look pretty, even with noisemakers up your nose.
Shapely Prose– where class meets sass!
Well met, Kate Harding, and a Happy New Year to all! :D
I was just thinking that all my day needed to be complete was somebody with noisemakers in their nostrils.
Happy New Year, Kate, and thank you for changing my life. I'm not making any resolutions; however, I am happy to be over the last year where I will apologize for being anything but myself. And I really owe that entirely to this blog and everyone associated with it. Best of luck to you with your book and I look forward to the continued reason I fire up my computer at the ass crack of dawn every day whilst not skipping my delicious breakfast. <3, Yorke
Gotta love it!
Thankyou Kate and all of the Shapeling community for the many ways in which you changed my thinking about myself and the world around me in 2008. For the first time in a loooooooong time, I'm making diet-free new years resolutions this year!
Happy New Year!
Once again, you make me SO PROUD.
Klassy Klassy
love it :)
Happy New Year to all!
Is it weird that it took this picture to make me figure out which one of my childhood friends you look like? :)
Happy New Year, Shapely Prose!
Class is overrated. HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Now THAT's sexy. :)
Happy New Year to you too!!
A belated Happy New Year!
And, um, I have a strange question…Kate, were you by chance at a Target on New Year's Day? I was and I could have sworn I saw you and your new legally-wed. But I was with my mother-in-law and thought a tap on the shoulder would have been weird anyhow. As I recall the person-who-may-be-you was in the blender-toaster type area. If it was you, SMALL WORLD and all that! I guess we're in the same town so not that shocking, but still.

Perils of a Home "Rent-to-Own" Arrangement
So many homes for sale and so many people who can't qualify to buy… Is a rent-to-own agreement a good option?
In these arrangements, the hopeful buyer leases the home for a defined period after which he or she makes the purchase. Throughout the rental period the renter/buyer pays an extra amount which, at the end of the lease, can be used towards a down payment or closing costs.
In theory, yes. In a slow housing market, the owner gets a paying tenant (who has a stake in maintaining the property) and a pretty good prospect of an ultimate sale. The renter/buyer gets into the house and has the opportunity to improve his or her credit-worthiness.
The big but…
If the renter changes his or her mind about buying at the end of the lease period, those extra payments might be forfeited. And, for the seller, if the market improves during the lease period, the price locked in previously may prove to be a bad deal.
There are other possible pitfalls, so both parties should have an attorney clearly explain the terms of the contract and the inherent risks.

Environmentalists to sue on rattlesnake protection
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Environmentalists are launching a lawsuit aimed at speeding up federal action on a request to give endangered species protection to the eastern diamondback rattlesnake.
The Tucson, Ariz.-based Center for Biological Diversity and others filed a formal notice of intent to sue the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service on Tuesday.
The environmentalists say the rattlesnake is threated by loss of habitat and human predation across the Southeast. There are no bag limits in South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, Alabama and Louisiana.
The agency last year agreed to conduct a review of the request, but spokesman Tom MacKenzie said it will be several years before that can be accomplished. He said that's because the service already is reviewing 400 other species due to prior lawsuits filed by the center.

A study that will appear in the February issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association shows that from 1999 to 2008 there was no significant increase in obesity among women. Among men the obesity rate has not increased from 2003-2008. That is the good news; the bad news is that around one third of the population is still obese. If you combine the overweight (BMI over 25) and obese (BMI over 30) 68 percent of Americans are still overweight. If you are not satisfied with your current weight, you have a lot of company.
In the next few blog posts I will be giving a few tips I have gleaned in my years of helping clients lose weight and become healthier. For simplicity I will divide my tips into "Calories In" and "Calories Out." I think that it is important to look at both sides of the equation to have an effective weight management plan.
Calories In
Robert Kenner directed a documentary called Food Inc. This is a difficult documentary to watch about the American food industry. If you watch this movie you will never look at your dinner the same. One point particularly stuck with me. For thousands of years salt, fat and sugar were in short supply for humans. Now every restaurant and fast food stop has made sure that you get what you are programmed to crave. Historically, we needed salt, fat and sugar to fatten up for leaner times. Today we find some combination of these big three in almost everything we eat. Make a list of your favorite foods. I will bet that the big three are available in some proportion in 9 of the top 10 of your favorite foods. That is why people who can increase the percentage of fruit and vegetables in the diet can stop easier when their hunger is satisfied (Note: I did not say "full." Stop eating when your hunger is satisfied). If you get a chance, I recommend that you rent the movie. Start looking at the ingredients on the packages before you eat the contents. You may be surprised how much of the food you eat has more than 30 percent of the calories in either fat or simple sugars. If they do, find something else.
Calories Out
There are many ways to increase your activity level. This morning I was listening to a NPR interview with John Koga. He has a new program that combines the energy burst of kick boxing and yoga. He says you finish the session tired and mellow. He even legally changed his last name to Koga to help promote his program. If Koga does not work for you, you might try "Suspension Training." The last ACE (American Council on Exercise) symposium conference I attended had people hanging from straps suspended from a beam. There are over a hundred exercises you can do individually or in a group with this fun, new form of training. If you have the time and money to take part in the many new fun programs available, I recommend it. For most of us we need something that takes a little less commitment. Here is today's simple recommendation. Most of us have access to a staircase. Walking up stairs is a great way to strengthen legs. My 89- year-old mother takes the two flight staircase three or four times a day to keep her legs strong. That adds up to 6-8 stories a day. So far she seems to be having as much fun at 89 as she did when she was a mere 70 when she was walking two to three miles a day. Keeping your weight where you want it is much easier if you keep or increase your muscle mass. Muscle is your engine to burn calories. Try to keep as much of it as you can. Staircase climbing is intense. Your body will only keep muscle if it needs it once in a while. That is why intensity is more important than duration for muscle gain. Keep a record of each day and how many flights you have climbed. Start off conservative. You can get really sore if you are not used to it. You may have to start with one flight a day for a week before you progress to two flights every other day. Take the steps back down if it does not bother your knees. Watch where you step and use a hand rail to insure your safety when climbing stairs. Take your time to get there, but when you can do 6-10 stories non stop, you will have an engine that will burn calories for you 24/7. That is a lot of bang for your buck. Eventually you can maintain your strength on one good session a week that may only take about 10 minutes. Future blog posts will offer some other ways to efficiently increase the "calories out" part of the equation.

"I would like to thank Eli and the Board of Directors for their confidence in entrusting the leadership of SanDisk to me.

So I just applied for Google's "Moonshot" project which will bring teachers together in July in Amsterdam to tackle projects that will transform education. The application is woefully short which makes me wonder if an algorithm will knock out the first group (esp. since it is due June 26th and winners will be contacted just three days later). Either way I am always up for doing something that could be a game changer. Not applying means you can't go and applying means you have more than a moonshot!
Here is the application. Good luck.

We're looking for people who make things happen.
Every neighborhood has one – or should. We're talking about someone who cares about things enough to do something about them. The sort of person who organizes community cleanups or youth sports, who volunteers for charitable events, who battles city hall when necessary, who advocates for wilderness preservation in the hills.
For an upcoming article in CA-Modern, we are looking within our modern neighborhoods for movers and shakers, people you can count on, leaders of a homeowners association or a local crime prevention group, people who make a difference.
Do you know someone like that? Are you like that? Let us know. Email Dave Weinstein at email@example.com.

Weeks after Twentieth Century Fox pulled early promotional materials for its comedy, "Neighborhood Watch," in order to distance itself from the emotionally charged Trayvon Martin case, the studio has given it a new name.
The Akiva Schaffer-directed comedy, which follows a group of suburban guys through a battle with aliens who want to take over the planet, will now be called, "The Watch," the studio announced Friday.
"As the subject matter of this alien invasion comedy bears no relation whatsoever to the recent tragic events in Florida, the studio altered the title to avoid any accidental or unintended misimpression that it might," Fox said in a statement.
The studio also released a new (NSFW) red-banded trailer for the film, which hits theaters July 27.
"The trailer presents the first unexpurgated look at the R-rated shenanigans of Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn, Jonah Hill and Richard Ayoade," the statement added.
Trayvon Martin, an unarmed black teenager was shot dead in February by a Flordia neighborhood watch volunteer, George Zimmerman, who now faces second-degree murder charges.

Cross Country Women Win Roy Griak Invitational; Men Place Fifth
Sept. 27, 2003
TEMPE, Ariz. - The Arizona State cross country team traveled to the 18th Annual Roy Griak Invitational Saturday in Minneapolis, Minn., and returned to Tempe with another outstanding performance. The women, ranked No. 20 in the latest FinishLynx Top 30 rankings, won the team title with 103 points and placed higher than six other squads ranked above them in the polls, including No. 5 Providence and No. 6 Wake Forest. The men, who entered the weekend unranked, scored 188 points to finish fifth and defeat six nationally ranked foes.
The women were again led by Amy Hastings (So., Leavenworth, Kan.). After winning the Dave Murray Invitational a week ago, Hastings ran the Minneapolis course in 20:45 to finish in third. She was followed across the finish line by Anna Masinelli (So., Scottsdale, Ariz.), who finished seventh overall. Freshman Jessica Crate (Brights Grove, Ontario) captured 17th with Desiree Davila (Jr., Chula Vista, Calif.) and Amanda Lyon (So., Phoenix, Ariz.) rounding out the team scoring with 36th and 40th-place finishes, respectively.
The win marks for the third time in the 18 years of the meet that a Sun Devil squad has secured the women's team title. ASU also won the crown in 1997 and 2001. The Sun Devils also edged out defending champion Michigan State this year for the title.
Also competing for the women were Liz Lindgren (So., Klamath Falls, Ore.), 60th; Jessica Scalzo (So., Snoqualmie, Wash.), 78th; Corey Randall (Fr., Cincinnati, Ohio), 90th; Jenna Wrieden (So., Glendale, Ariz.), 95th; and Alvina Begay (Sr., Ganado, Ariz.), 160th.
On the men's side, Juan Reyes (Jr., Phoenix, Ariz.) led the charge with a 16th-place finish at 24:38. Aaron Aguayo (So., Phoenix, Ariz.) followed in at 22nd place while J.J. Duke (Jr., Clovis, Calif.), 38th, Roger Cahill (So., Glendale, Ariz.), 45th, and Kal Clark (Fr., Louisville, Ky.), 67th, rounding out the scoring.
Four other men competed with Ryan Warrenburg (So., Franklin, Ind.) leading the non-scorers with an 84th-place finish. Following him was Dan Maher (Sr., Tucson, Ariz.), 135th; Derek Pisel (So., Glendale, Ariz.), 174th; and Jeremy Cramer (Fr., Boise, Idaho), 186th.
Following a week off from competition, the Sun Devils return to action with the Arizona State Invitational Oct. 10 at Kiwanis Park in Tempe. The women will open the meet with a 5,000m race starting at 4:45 p.m. while the men's 8,000m run follows at 5:15 p.m.

Writing Family History Again
Back on 24 August 2011 I wrote a Writing Family History blog and since then I have met and talked with two interesting authors and have read and reviewed their books.
As I have mentioned in previous blogs, I have been a fan of Hazel Edwards for many years and recently I had the pleasure of chatting with her over afternoon tea. It was really good to talk to another author about publishing and e-books and the use of social media. I also took along my first edition copy of Hazel's How to Write a Non-Boring Family History so that she could sign it for me. When I purchased the second edition in August Hazel also signed that copy.
The other surprise I had for Hazel was a copy of the original article she wrote for the Australian Institute of Genealogical Studies journal, The Genealogist in March 1993. It is titled A Non-Boring Family History by Hazel Edwards and morphed into her book four years later. The article sets out the ten commandments of crafting a non-boring family history and I used it to start writing my own (still draft) family histories.
Although it has been 18 years since I started writing, and 34 years since I started researching my family history, I have to say in my own defence that my life has been fairly full and busy over that time. However, I equally appreciate that I can't take another 18 years to finish them! The only trouble is that I have become a master of procrastination in this area. But no more!
The other inspiring author I met recently was Goldie Alexander, who like Hazel, is more well known for her children's books. Goldie is currently conducting classes based on her book Mentoring Your Memoir which is more about writing your own story, although many aspects are also relevant to writing family history. I'm hoping to attend one of Goldie's sessions next year, as I had conflicting appointments for her last classes this year.
Both these books are worth reading if you are considering writing family history and as both authors are Melbourne based, if you are in Victoria keep an eye out, or check their websites, for details of any talks or workshops they may be doing in 2012. Here is my review of How to Write a Non-Boring Family History and my review of Mentoring Your Memoir.
Now I'm going to go back and read their chapters on overcoming procrastination!
I used the "what if the bus comes round the corner" concept to make me realise (1) that I really wanted to write my family history and (2) motivate me to stick with it even though I was also working full time. I'm sure you've read Lynn Palermo's blog, The Armchair Genealogist which is excellent as are Noelene Kyle's books on writing your FH. Good luck with it all.
Thanks Pauleen – yes I know Noelene Kyle and her books too – and I often wonder, with all my travelling, what would happen if I never made it home. Agree The Armchair Genealogist is excellent and I even follow someone with a blog called Motivate me. The bottom line I think is prioritising and when other things come up, I let this slide down the list. But putting it on the record here in my blog makes it much more visible to my friends and colleagues and I'm planning an easier year in 2012 with more 'me' time. Stay tuned!

FLORENCE, S.C. – The No. 6 Georgia College & State University golf team led all three rounds of the 2010 SpringHill Suites Intercollegiate, clobbering the field by 18 strokes to take the team title at 16-under par, carding rounds of 280, 282 and 286 for the win. Thirteen of the 15 teams in this week's tourney compete in the NCAA's Division I.
Senior Billy Shida (Berkeley Lakes, Ga.) put up a field-low 70 today, finishing one stroke off the individual title. Shida finished eight under par (70-68-70=208). He was best in the field on par-four holes, averaging 3.83 strokes.
Sophomore Patrick Garrett (Kennesaw, Ga.) finished third overall at the par-72, 7,062-yard Country Club of South Carolina course, carding a 210 at six under par (67-71-72). Garrett was six under on par fives for the three rounds, averaging 4.50 on the longer holes.
Freshman Gavin Harper (Twin City, Ga.) took advantage of his first career start, bookending a pair of 71s around a 72. Harper finished sixth at two-under par 214.
Sophomore Bernardo Bide (Olavarria, Argentina) narrowly missed a top-10 finish, taking 11th at even par. Bide carded a 72-71-73=216. Freshman Victor Monte (Chantilly, Va.) finished 79th with a 242 (80-79-83).
The Bobcats beat UT-Chattanooga by 18 strokes, and third place Furman University by 22. The only other Division II program in the tournament, fellow Peach Belt Conference (PBC) competitor USC Aiken, took 10th.
Chattanooga's Chris Robb took the individual title, posting a 66, 69 and 72 for nine-under.
The Bobcats are back in action Sept. 27-28 at the Sandestin Collegiate Championship in Destin, Fla.
The Georgia College Department of Athletics, back-to-back winners of the PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 10 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level. As a Division II program, Bobcat Athletics prides itself on balancing the life of the student-athlete, evidenced by the teams' multiple appearances in post-season competition as well as documented academic success and community-service involvement. Sign up at www.twitter.com/GCSUBobcats for up-to-the-minute reports, and visit www.GCSUBobcats.com for more information, and to nominate your favorite former Bobcats and Colonials to the GCSU Athletics Hall of Fame.

188 CFM TrueFRESH Energy Recovery Ventilation System - For Homes Up to 4,200 Sq Ft(1 Review)
Professional installation now available in , !
Your ventilation system ensures the exchange of stale air for fresh air, and your Honeywell ventilation system makes that air exchange efficiently, so you'll enjoy fresh air while continuing to receive the benefits of energy efficiency.
Air introduced into the home through a quality ventilation system helps maintain positive pressure in the home to keep air fresher and cleaner. Ventilation also helps reduce carbon monoxide (CO) levels as well as lingering odors from smoke, food preparation, cleaning products and more.
Your air system works with your heating and cooling system to exchange stale indoor air for outside air at regular intervals, but it will also work independently to ensure that your family is breathing quality air. The independent operation is your assurance that the system is effectively maintaining the exchange of stale air for fresh air. So if your furnace or air conditioner isn't running and your air system comes on, relax — it's all part of normal system operation, even at night, ensuring improved comfort and indoor air quality 24-7.
The climate where you live will determine whether you need a Heat Recovery Ventilator or an Energy Recovery Ventilator. HRV's are usually recommended for colder climates with longer heating seasons. ERV's are used for warmer, more humid climates with long cooling seasons. Please see our helpful reference map to assist in selecting the right unit for you.
