Legend has it that a couple of thrill-seekers named Jack and Jill started the whole hillclimb thing. Unfortunately, there's no record of what they were driving. And that injury to Jack's crown? It wouldn't have happened if he'd been wearing a helmet.
We do know that ever since–despite Jack's mishap–enthusiasts all over the globe have been flinging themselves uphill as fast as they dare, piloting anything on wheels. These days they wear approved safety gear, of course. In the U.S., where topography allows, they charge up mountains ranging from Pikes Peak, the granddaddy of them all, to less-famous venues all over the continent.
A threatened species 20 years ago, organized hillclimbs are clawing their way back, with new venues popping up and new enthusiasts joining the action. The Eastern U.S. has a long tradition of hillclimbs, from Vermont to the Carolinas. A standout event is Chasing the Dragon, held twice a year near Robbinsville, NC.
This venue opened to competition in 2011, featuring several switchbacks and a handful of whoops. It's located west of Tail of the Dragon, the worldfamous stretch of U.S. 129 that goes all corkscrewy–318 curves in 11 miles–as it crosses Deals Gap into Tennessee. Considered by many to be one of the top driving roads on the planet, the Dragon is a bucketlist destination for a revved-up parade of motorcyclists and sports car drivers who flock there every year.
With all the curvy roads winding up nearby hills, why not a hillclimb?
That's the question Ted Theodore answered some five years ago. Ted, a longtime SCCA enthusiast, motorsports competition veteran and member of the Central Carolinas Region Board of Directors, loves hillclimbs. "There is nothing like a hillclimb," he says. "It's a blend of the natural beauty of the forest, a curvy mountain road with lots of elevation, and social fellowship–along with a dozen or more 2-minute adrenalin bursts up the mountain." Naturally, with a pitch like this, Ted is also CCR hillclimb manager.
A chance meeting between SCCA racer Marc Osgood and Darryl Cannon of killboy.com–his photographers shoot the Dragon parade–led to talk of a potential location, a twisty, dead-end, two-lane blacktop that climbs to a lookout point in the Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest.
When Ted, with some trepidation, approached Graham County community leaders with the idea, he was overwhelmed with unexpected hospitality and support, as Graham County and Robbinsville saw this event as a much-needed boost to their struggling economy. With help from the North Carolina DOT, U.S. Forest Service, Graham County Sheriff 's Department, EMS and Rescue Service, County Transit, and the N.C. Highway Patrol, Chasing the Dragon quickly became a reality. Turns out it does take a village to raise a hillclimb.
The new venue proved itself right out of the box. In the five hillclimbs held thus far, the lure of the Dragon has drawn as many as 75 drivers and 3000 spectators to a single event.
Other mountain communities, seeing Chasing the Dragon's success, have taken notice and made inquiries, so Ted and his team anticipate a bright future in the area. "We plan to run two events at the Dragon in 2014, we have one new site coming on board, and others are being considered," he says. "We've had a 70-percent increase in Southeast Division Time Trial Championship events this year, and a major part of that growth is from new hillclimbers."
Competitors understand–until the red mist descends–that hillclimbs bring increased risk. While this road is relatively safe, lined with earthen walls and guardrails, bouncing off either will cause damage.
The Dragon course is long at 2.2 miles, and it's fast. Top drivers in top cars average close to 70 mph for the hill–from a standing start–and touch 110 mph in fast sections.
Organizing a hillclimb is an exercise in risk management that involves a complex network of insurance coverage, communications, EMS, wrecker service, course workers, novice driver training, and a host of behindthe- scenes support. Running an event in a national forest adds another layer or two of administration.
Ted emphasizes that safety for all, from spectators to drivers, is the top concern: "We have an excellent safety record for hillclimbs, and our event staff and safety workers are trained to handle any situation. We greatly value the trust we've earned from the local government and community and do not take that for granted."
To get a sample of the 50-plus drivers who ran Chasing the Dragon V, we tracked four competitors–ranging from a first-timer to a repeat King of the Hill–who wheeled rides from nearly stock to full-on modified. They told us this hillclimb offers more than the obvious thrills; they also enjoyed the friendly, helpful and laid-back atmosphere of the Dragon "family." As for the rush, several competitors told us that after hurtling up a mountain, an autocross leaves them feeling, well, flat.
Ted puts it this way: "It's too hard to memorize the course in one weekend. Reactive driving is the source for adrenalin. It's fun to watch rubber-legged drivers walking around at the top of the hill with dumb grins on their faces."
Chasing the Dragon 7 is scheduled for September 13 &14. Details at dragonhillclimb.com
Marvin Fordham, a novice from Clayton, North Carolina, ran the hill with his nearly stock Triumph TR8, a car that's still recovering from a 12-year nap. While new to hills, Marvin's been driving sports cars for 40 years–everything from a TR6 to a new MINI.
He started in the Atlanta Triumph Club, rallying, autocrossing and working courses. Then he became active in SCCA, working in flagging and communications and as a crewmember. But as often happens, life intervened, and he took a long hiatus from motorsports.
In 2010, a new MINI revived his interest. He came to the inaugural Chasing the Dragon Hillclimb as a spectator and loved what he saw. So he dragged his TR8 out of the garage and took it to a local shop. When progress lagged, he and longtime friend Bill Hightower took over the work. With an intense, last-minute thrash, they got the car ready for Dragon V, including adding a roll bar and safety equipment.
Despite sorting through problems with overheating and excessive suspension travel (which caused tire rubbing), Marvin managed eight runs in B Street Prepared with a best time of 1:54.6.
He sees hillclimbing as the next step up from autocrossing, yet not as intense or expensive as wheelto- wheel racing. Was it worth all the effort? "You bet," he says. "I was very pleased with my first hillclimb. I learned a lot about the car and about my abilities." He says he'll be back. "Next steps are suspension work and brake upgrades." He has no plans for immediate engine upgrades. "I have much to learn before I take that step," he explains.
Kathryn Karns lives near Clemson, South Carolina, where she's a senior at Clemson University. Kathryn grew up riding horses, but once in college, she switched to wheeled horsepower.
Kathryn joined the Clemson Sports Car Club and started running in their autocross program. She loved the competition and wanted more, graduating to SCCA Time Trials and then to hillclimbs. Kathryn is also a regular at a Charlotte indoor karting track, where she once competed in a 24-hour enduro.
Her daily driver is a Mazdaspeed3. In SCCA events she drives a 1999 Miata: stock engine, upgraded suspension, and the required roll bar, safety harness and fire bottle. In this event she was classified in C Street Prepared, the largest class with more than a dozen entrants. Over the two days, she made 12 runs, notching a best time of 1:39.47, which put her about mid-pack.
"It's fun, scary and challenging," she says. "I had an absolute blast. Even in the little Miata, you can get going at a fair pace up the road. It's definitely a challenge to find a good line through some of the corners, not knowing exactly what is on the other side of the rock wall. Autocrossing will never be the same for me; hillclimbing just adds another element of excitement that is hard to beat."
Kathryn generously shared the Miata with her father, Don, a firsttimer on this hill. For the record, she was faster by nearly 4 seconds, but we won't mention that. No matter who wins, both Karnses are hooked on hillclimbs. "Dad can't stop talking about it," she says, "and I've already started planning what to do to the car next."
Dustin Webb, who lives in Monroe, North Carolina, started racing with karts and dirt bikes. Soon he graduated to autocross and then to time trials.
A while back, he bought a wrecked 1995 Nissan 240SX for parts–his daily driver is also a 240SX. When he discovered that the wrecked car could be saved, he–along with cousin and fellow time trial driver Robert McManus– brought the car back to life with a massive infusion of front-end parts and wrenching time.
Once his Nissan was healed, competition beckoned. Dustin put in a roll bar and took the car to a club time trial at Charlotte Motor Speedway. He had so much fun he brought it back and installed a full cage. Then he ran the 2012 Southeast Division Time Trial Series and won the championship in the D Street Prepared class. The car remains nearly stock, with allowable modifications under class rules.
Dustin has run the Dragon four times, getting faster each time. He says he loves the challenge. "The difference between flat tracks and hillclimbs is that there is little room for error–no grass to slide through and no sand trap to catch you," he explains. "Now I'm more comfortable pushing the car harder. It is more exhilarating to know there is less room for mistakes."
And push he did, knocking 7 seconds off his personal best and setting a DSP class record with a 1:35.933. He also loves this course for another reason: Here he met his girlfriend, Jessica Hunter, also a driver and course worker. Citing their shared interests, he calls it a "match made in heaven." Well, if not in heaven, at least on a mountain.
Heikki Rinta-Koski, a mechanical engineer who lives in an Atlanta suburb, started racing in Finland more than 20 years ago, competing in everything from time trials to drag races to endurance racing. He immigrated to the U.S. in 2001, where he jumped into the fun with SCCA and NASA.
These days he drives a scaryfast, Miata-powered Locost 7 that he built himself using a wrecked Miata as a donor. This creation, pumped up with a Garrett 2560 turbo and managed by a Mega- Squirt MS3X, puts out 332 rearwheel horsepower and weighs only 1500 pounds–even with 13x10-inch wheels, an oversized cage, welded steel floors, side protection and driveshaft loops.
Heikki had been developing this car since 2005, so little remains untouched. In SCCA hillclimbs, the car is classed in Super Production over 2 Liters.
"I built the car for road racing," he says, "but it does everything okay, and it's been pretty much everywhere one can compete on asphalt." Does okay? This car has run the quarter-mile in 11.8 seconds at 114 mph and posted a 1:32 around Road Atlanta–lapping the famed Georgia track about 10 seconds quicker than a Spec Miata.
He says hillclimbs offer a fresh change from road racing and autocross. "Think autocross intensity with longer runs and road race speeds," he explains. "Think WRC stage which can be run many times in a weekend. Add mountain scenery, which beats any track or parking lot by a long shot."
Of the six hillclimbs he's run, he has won Kukkulan Herra (that's King of the Hill in Finnish) four times, including at Dragon V. On this weekend, he made nine runs up the hill and came away with the fastest time: 1:15.091, which is only three-tenths off the course record, set by a Porsche GT3 Cup car in 2011.
Is the record within his grasp? "Of course," he says. "There are a few seconds to be picked up with better driving, and of course the car can be improved with some planning and turning wrenches."
License: In SCCA, hillclimbs represent the fourth and top level of the Time Trials program. To climb the Dragon as a first-timer, you'll need a Novice TT License and will be required to attend a classroom session before the event. You'll also work with a mentor. For details, see the SCCA's Southeast Division Time Trial website, sedivtt.com.
Car Preparation: Many firsttimers start in the Street Prepared class, which requires a legal roll bar (with a diagonal and harness bar), a racing seat harness and a fire extinguisher. For details, see sedivtt. com as well.
Personal Safety Gear: A full complement of approved safety gear is required, including helmet, fire-resistant suit, gloves, fireresistant socks and leather foot covering, and arm restraints or a window net. The CCR's Second Gear Program loans gear to drivers starting out–free of charge.
Getting Started: Ted Theodore suggests first attending a hillclimb as a spectator, crewmember or course worker. You'll learn the ropes and be better prepared to return as a competitor.
Other Hills to Climb
Around the country, the SCCA offers the most venues, with events in Ohio, Vermont, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Ohio, Colorado (some dirt), New Hampshire and Ohio, among other states. Other organizations sanction events as well, so rules may differ. Explore these links for more hills:
Colorado Hillclimb Association
New England Hillclimb Association
Northwest Hillclimb Association
Pennsylvania Hillclimb Association
The New England Hill climb assoc. Is less restrictive for street driven cars.
You can drive your car to the hill and run.
They do have a rather odd classification system.
Potential racers need to think of this as a single rally stage run several times. There are lots of things to hit that won't move.
I would love to do hillclimbs again. I started off hillclimbing in the UK where you could driver your road car (Opel Manta GTE), but over here in Michigan there haven't been any hillclimbs for most of the time I've been here. There is now the Empire Hillclimb that's been sanctioned by both NASA and now SCCA, but you need a full cage to run that.
Last year, I got the chance to hillclimb through an amazing program with the PA Hillclimb Assoc and long-time racer Mike Ancas. They provided the car, gear and entry fees. It was a bucket-list item for sure and as soon as I can, I want to get a car and go climbing!
Any Texas hillclimbs?
In reply to yupididit :
Step One is to dig a really, really deep hole... :)
In reply to yupididit :
First you have to find a hill.
Would absolutely love to do a hillclimb someday. Have been enjoying mountain and canyon driving for years, but a closed off event? Heck yeah!
Hmm, Pikes Peak is only about 7 hours away... Goal for when I can confidently say that the Supra is absolutely sorted.
we have some awesome hills in western ny ,but the ny attitude is nothing is done that is fun or does not give the politicians money and pay insurance companies a fortune .So no one does much with moving events here .darn blue state funsuckers . Their idea of risk management is go do it somewhere else where we can't ever get sued or called out for dangerous activities .
pinchvalve, that sounds awesome! Is there any information regarding that? I'd love to try a hill climb or two :)
I've always thought the road from The Village up to Main Lodge at Mammoth Mountain (CA) would make for an awesome hill climb venue. Always have to temper my enthusiasm when driving the family Expedition (loaded with family) up the hill for a ski day.
In reply to te72 :
pike's pike is basically invite only to enter (as is mt. washington) pretty much have to have results from other hillclimbs, stage rallies etc. in order to get your application accepted.
In reply to captdownshift :
That doesn't surprise me, and answers the question that's always been in my mind of "why don't more people do this?" so thanks for crushing my dreams man... nah, just kidding.
I think it'd be fun to just attend someday. I will drive to the peak, perhaps not on race day (if it happens, it happens, but I'm not holding my breath waiting for that invite...), but I'll see the top someday.
Now, another question... why don't they do downhill racing at all? My Miata is so much more fun when gravity is helping!

I was told there is a law on the NY books that prohibits racing on public roads, even if closed down for an event. This is why you never see stage rallies in NY but they have them just across the border in PA.
In reply to ddavidv :
Umm, there are several stage rallies in NY State.

Brakes have come a long way over the years but can you imagine the carnage of a downhill race?
British Columbia ofcourse has the Knox hill climb in Kelowna that's been going for ever. For that event you need a full road race or rally license if I'm not mistaken.

Absolutely can, it's a balance of tire wear, brake cooling, and bravado. Like I said, this is sort of my hobby, so I have a bit of experience with it. I generally run on the conservative side though, since traction loss easily could be catastrophic. When I was younger though? Wonder I'm alive to tell the tale!
That said, most hill climb events aren't so long that you would fry a decent brake system, if proper setup went into it. Would also be good incentive to keep weight down. I still love the idea. =)
Hillclimbs are fun and you can win or lose by fractions of a second. Took my road racing TVR in a couple here in BC as I happened to have a 5.13 diff hanging around - top speed of a bout 90 mph but you sure got there quickly. Knew a guy that used to run Pike's Peak - said he preferred it before they paved it and also thought it was safer then.

Very interesting, did he go into detail on what the dual nature of the course made for a safer race? I can imagine a bit of restraint goes a long way to keeping the shiny side up...
Have been watching times fall at PPIHC for the last few years now, and it's like Nurburgring times in my book, mind boggling how fast modern cars have become!
Pikes Peak times have dropped astronomically since paving started. I'm glad Monster Tajima was able to crack 10 minutes when there was still a little bit of gravel left. PPIHC is a whole different world, every petrol-head should come see it at least once. The best viewing is up at Devils' Playground above treeline, but you have to get there early and do your cardio and acclimatization for the best experience.

val- this is the current poll: At What Age Did Your Child Consistently Move to Rest Time?Is the other poll already over? It is still Tuesday right?? 🙂
Yes, it ended around 4. Maybe I will have to post reminders on Monday. When the post is up tomorrow, you can comment with your vote and I will update the results.
I think a day before reminder is a good idea too. I read in the morning & didn't see this until it was over.
Come on ladies. You need to camp out on the blog to get up to date info 😉

You have a little over 24 hours to vote on our current poll. The question is:
Votes are pretty much deadlocked right now.
I will be reminding you about polls from now on (so long as I remember 🙂 ) because my friend, Serra, says she wants to vote but never thinks of it until the poll is closed and she is reading the results on her Google Reader. So here is your reminder!
I dont know if it makes any difference to you, but i voted yes… but i'd like to clarify that i'll be getting the regular flu vaccine for my daughter, but am not comfortable with the H1N1. i'd be interested to see if it makes a difference to anyone else in how they vote…
I personally believe much of the vaccine drama is just 'hype' – my doctor also agreed – because, after all, flu is flu is flu. However, my friends' sister was in rotation at Primary Children's Hospital during last flu season and saw some very alarming results from the H1N1 strain in children. Here is a short article: http://universe.byu.edu/node/11012This is mostly what is making me think twice about what I will decide for my children. Just thought I'd share.
Wow…things are deadlocked for sure. It's an interesting topic. And sometimes much heated. 🙂 It's so nice to be able to research, hear testimonies, and look into it for yourself before making a decision. I personally don't think it's a moral decision as many moms make it out to be.
thanks for the reminder, I voted!
I am a RN & I have worked in the hospital for almost 7 yrs now. I nor my 17month old son, will be getting the flu shot. The CDC chooses which "strains/types" of flu they think will be most common in that particular year & make a vaccine accordingly. The vaccine does not vaccinate against ALL types of flu strains, therefore you are still susceptible to all the other strains of flu virus out there. Many people get sick from getting the flu vaccine b/c although it's a dead virus injected, your body still recognizes it as foreign, just like any other vaccine. The best prevention is wash, wash, wash your hands…before, during & after you eat. If you touch a menu at the restaurant go wash your hands before you touch your appetizer, etc. Sounds OCD maybe, but my family stays healthy 99.99% of the time….i get a runny nose once every few years & I work w/sick ppl! The swine flu….again just wash your hands. If your child attends daycare & is old enough, stress to them the importance of handwashing…if not, please ask the class leader/sitter to use clorox wipes as often as possible on toys, surfaces, handles, etc. Cell phones, wallets, purses & keys are very big vehicles for bacteria & viruses to travel on. Keep those hands washed & you should be good! Just my opinion, but its an educated one. 🙂

Well, this weekend i prooved im a brave girl. I went to Paradise, and its only 3 and a half hours away from home. I cant believe this was my first visit ever.
I jumped down 7 waterfalls (the highest one being about 8 meters high), i rappeled down a 105 meters waterfall, and i did lots of trecking.
Of course im a bit bruised and scratched (because of the trecking mostly), but im happy. And would definitiely do it again, and again....
(i might get a picture or two, if i do i promise ill share. i just couldnt carry a camera around.... so i have no personal pics... too bad)

Ryle - Systematically Misleading Expressions
Philosophers say they are analyzing or clarifying the "concepts" which are embodied in the judgements of the plain man, scientist, or artist. But if these people have intelligently used such expressions then they must already know what they mean and do not need the aid of philosophers to understand what they are saying. And if their hearers understand what is being said they don't need this help either. And the philosopher must know what the expressions mean, since otherwise he could not know what he is analyzing. If expressions are not being intelligently used it is fruitless to ask what the expressions mean. Understanding can be done by any ordinary listener and the philosopher can't help and can't begin unless he understood them in the ordinary way. If a speaker only knows confusingly what his expression means, it is not the role or acheivement of the philosopher to provide a medicine against this form of flux. And the philosopher is not ex officio concerned with rovings and ramblings, only expressions intelligently and intelligibly employed. Some expressions could have better substitutes, but the search for such paraphrases that are more stylish, grammatically or etymologically correct is applied lexicography or philology. The purpose of his paper is to show that there is an important sense in which philosophers can and must discover and state what is really meant by expressions of a particular type, and that ordinary speakers fully understand what they mean by their expressions, which are nevertheless couched in grammatical or syntactical forms which are demonstrably improper to the states of affairs which they record. He uses expression to cover single words, phrases, and sentences. "statement" means a sentence in the indicative. When a statement is true it records a fact or state of affairs. False statements do not record. To know that a statement is true is to know that something is the case and that the statement records it. When I barely understand a statement I do not know that it records a fact, nor need I know the fact that it records if it records one, but I know what state of affairs would obtain, if the statement recorded a state of affairs. A significant statement is a quasi-record because it has the requisite structure and constituents to be a record, but we don't yet know if it is a record of a fact. False statements are not records, so they don't state anything if state means records. Records record something being the case. An expression is systematically misleading when the syntactical form is improper to the fact recorded, and causes some (not ordinary people) to think the record is a different state of affairs from the fact. Systematically misleading means that all expressions of that grammatical form would be misleading in the same way and for the same reason. It was only noticed recently that in "God exists" "exists" is not a predicate, so "God" cannot be the subject of predication. This was discovered in examining negative statements about existence. In "Satan does not exist", if there is no Satan how can it be about Satan in the same way that "I am sleepy" is about me. Satan must not be signifying a subject of attributes, but some philosophers have devised theories to be able to allow them to talk about Satan anyway by such a statement, like we are talking about an idea or something in the realm of subsistence, but Ryle dismisses these because of the square-circle. So Ryle says the new analysis says that "carnivorous cows do not exist" means "no cows are carnivorous" or "no carnivorous beasts are cows" but it needs an improvement as "nothing is both a cow and carnivorous" which doesn't imply that anything is either, whereas the first two do imply something exists. Or with "God exists" means "something and one thing only, is omnipotent, omniscient, etc." With "Satan does not exist" means "nothing is both devilish and called Satan" or "Satan is not the proper name of anything". Ryle says that statements like "carnivorous cows do not exist" are systematically misleading but are not false, nor senseless, whereas the paraphrased expressions aren't systematically misleading or aren't to the same extent. The statement is true, and is completely meaningful to the person who uses it the only trap in it traps those who embarks on abstraction assuming that every statement gives clues to the logical form of the fact it records. Ryle gives a list of bogus predicates
238. He concludes there is a class of statments of which the grammatical predicate appears to signify not the having of a specified character but the having (or not having) of a specified status; but the appearance is just grammatical, and the statements can be stated in ways with no such quasi-ontological predicates, which are all systematically misleading. Ryle thinks that philosophers who use real for a predicate, or being or reality for a subject are the greatest sinners. The problem arises when one tries to abstract and generalize to consider what different facts of the same type (about different things) have in common, and uses the common grammatical form to grasp the logical form of the facts themselves because we jump to the concusion that the way a fact is recorded is a clue to the form of the fact. "Satan is not a reality" looks as if it records the same fact as "Copone is not a philosopher" while the first would have been more properly recorded in statements not about Satan but the sound "satan" or the people who misuse it. The world does not contain fictions in the way it contains facts. There is no subject of attributes of which we can say "there is a fiction". Quasi-ontological statements may be true and unvague, but they are formally improper to facts of the logical form which they are employed ot record and proper to facts of quite another logical form.

Dumalang everyone,
How is everyone doing? I hope this week has been filled with joy and with happiness. I know that there has been some trials and struggles with some of you if not all of you but keep your faith and do what you know is right and stand strong. Always remember what Gordon B. Hinkley said; "The greatest heights someone ever reached was on their knees, So do all you can stand and then kneel." I have seen the blessings so much from my life in the past few weeks. I have struggled the past few weeks but the more I went to our father in heaven with prayer and the more I put my cares and faith in him the more the burdens became light. Like it says in Alma "and the lord softened their burdens and they became light" Just remember the lord is always there for us no matter in what we do or in what we say he will never give up on us.
So this week has been an exciting week. On Monday after emailing and shopping we went back to the flat (our apartment) and did major cleaning. We cleaned the flat so much not even the dust wanted to fall on the clean surfaces...ok maybe not but still its the thought that counts right. Then on Tuesday we had our presidents interviews and we got to be able visit with him and receive more council from him. Our president is leaving in July and it will be sad to see him go. He has done so much for us and for this mission but he will always be around in spirit and in our prayers.
Then on Friday we went to the temple again. We were suppose to be there at eight but we got there a little bit late because of construction and traffic and so we went to the nine o'clock session and afterwards we also got to watch a few baptisms for the dead performed. It was an amazing experience and it came at the right time. I needed the spiritual boost that comes from feeling the lords spirit and feeling like you are in his pressence. It was great I will never forget it as long as I live on this earth and in the life after.
So this weekend we also had the amazing oppertunity to be able to watch confrence. It was interesting though because it is April and I still saw snow on the trees and on the ground when they showed outside the temple...whats with that huh? People even say the weather is odd around here because its cold and rainy at the same time but I guess its suppose to be cold and dry. But anyways it was a great experience to hear the prophet and the apostles speaking to us. It also gave me the spiritual boost that I needed. I learned alot from confrence and I cant wait until the Liahona magazines come out so that I can read the messages and reteach myself what was taught. I am so grateful for the current prophet today to be able to give us more of the Lords words and direction.
So this week has had its challenges with things but for the most part it was all better with being able to feel the spirit with me all weekend. It was a great experience and I hope I can keep having more like it. So now that Easter is coming up I hope all of you will take this time to remember our savior and the sacrifice he did for us that through him we can all be forgiven and have eterenal life. I would just like to end by saying that I know this church is true and that Joesph Smith was a true prophet. I know that Thomas S Monson leads and guides the church today and that we all will get closer to Christ by listening to his words. I am grateful for this oppertunity that I have to be a tool in the hands of the Lord. There is nothing in the world I would rather be doing at this time because all the other things will just fall into place.
I love you all and I hope things are going well for you and that you can keep the lord in your thoughts and hearts at all times. I hope to hear from you all soon.
Your Friend, Brother, Son and Other,
Elder Aaron Giles Lindsay

This week was suuuuuupers wild.
Monday was normal, Tuesday as well.
On Wednesday we had the lidership counsel with the zone leaders sister training leaders, and the Pres. Camarillo and his wife. We did a super fun activity about completing goals in which we had to set a goal of how many balloons we could blow up as a companionship in 1 minute. We did it, analyzed how well we did, and then afterwards set a new, higher goal, and did it again. Let's just have it known that Elder Lopez and I blew up 18 balloons together in 1 minute. Lungs r good. The meeting ended really late, we got all the packages for the zone, and were waiting for a taxi. A member showed up, gave us a ride and took us out to eat a Burger King (considered nice food over here). It was honestly quite tasty.
Thursday is always full of gummi bears as we do our weekly planning, so that makes things niiiice. And in the night we were getting everything all set up to give the zone meeting all souped up and ready to go.
Friday, we had the zone meeting, full of pretty much everything we did in the lidership counsel. And afterwards we had planned out to do companionship exchanges with Tonala 1. So once again, I got to return to my area. It was super great because I got to see a lot of the investigators that I had found over there and some of my favorite members. And I took a picture with my favorite neighborhood drunk.
Saturday we got back into our area and had a good little day. In the whole mission, we are struggling a bit to complete goals, namely in finding new investigators, getting investigators to go to church, and a whole bunch of things. So we have been giving a ton of follow-up with the district leaders, and pretty much our life is nuts. Sleep is a long lost friend.
This week a got the nicest card from the Cope family, with a super shredding christmas cd. I still listen to it. I wrote them a letter back, I just have to send it. But if you see them, tell them thanks.
I sure am glad that I have gotten to get to know my Savior, his gospel, and his church. I love what I am doing, and love you all so much.
Thanks for all your support.
Elder Hulmje.
We sent a photo of one of Oli's old seminary tests to him. Notice his answer for #18.

Michael Morpurgo's classic is the basis of a National Army Museum exhibition tracing the history of the real war horses.
By Maev Kennedy
Of more than 120 books Michael Morpurgo has written, War Horse is not his favourite – though he concedes his epitaph will read: "Michael Morpurgo wrote Steven Spielberg's War Horse."
His story of the horse commandeered from a Devon farm and shipped to the great war, followed by the boy who loved him, has become a phenomenon, dwarfing the rest of his works: a bestselling children's book now bought by adults, a box office smash hit play for the National Theatre in London and on Broadway, the Spielberg movie due for release within few months, and now an exhibition at the National Army Museum in London.
"I'm very fond of the book, and it is my wife's favourite – she really loves horses, and she likes the fact that its origins lie in Devon, in the place where we live. But I probably like Private Peaceful best [also now being filmed] and I love the ones which really set children's imagination soaring like Kensuke's Kingdom. But there will be people who think I never wrote anything in my life except War Horse."
The book was hardly an overnight success: it was published in 1982, did not sell particularly well. Morpurgo spent years trying to turn it into a script before concluding that a story which begins in rolling Devon fields and moves on to tank battles in the Somme, was unfilmable and still less stageable.
"I am delighted but quite surprised at how it has now taken off, and why that should be now is an interesting question. I'm afraid it's the times we are living in. People are seeing the bodies of young soldiers coming home again.

The first reading for this week is from a book called One Shot Workshop, which does a good job of acknowledging how being taught how to teach isn't something librarians are expected to know. I like the ADDIE system and how the focus is on having a good foundation and constantly working to improve how and what is being taught. The idea of solo design with a sounding board is appealing to me and sounds like what I try to do when working on things since another person who's not deep in the project will spot things that I don't. This book also has some useful ideas on how to create effective teams since building a good team is a critical part of getting to good design. I appreciate too the acknowledgment that different workshops end up having various priorities and those are important to consider when setting up the planning stages.
The Yelinek article looks at creating online tutorials, which in this digital world is quite important to know how to do. I like framing things by saying that teaching software is like teaching a procedure since most software is linear in terms of how it functions. I appreciate the focus on figuring out what the students need, in my work with America Reads, I've been putting together guides for how to use things. They haven't always been on what I expect but they're where help is needed, which is what counts. I think one of the challenges in teaching software is not focusing too much on how to do one thing, some students will want to know the basics and explore on their own. So the evaluation process before and after helps figure out what to focus on and what to change.
In the next article by Johnston, the question is how effective online tutorials are for teaching information literacy, which is a complicated thing to teach well. I like the idea of Graduate Attributes for undergrads because it helps to create a strong start for any student. I found it interesting that only a small number of students completed the survey since so much care was taken in the creation of the module. Hopefully they will consider redoing the survey to gain more information. It seems as if the online module could be useful for James Cook University but more detailed information and analysis will help. This article feels like the first step of many and not the completion.
For the last article, Griffis looks at how to create Pathfinders with screen capture tools, which can be important for demonstrating how to use software. Trailfire seems like a useful tool since it is webbased and focused on how to get to information same with Jing and the focus on screen casts. I know when I was learning programming being able to watch a screencast of a program helped me a huge amount since just reading what I needed to do didn't always translate. The flexibility of Wink seems as if it could be immensely useful by providing still and moving images. Slideshare is a good resource but I think can be limiting depending on the type of information being taught. I look forward to seeing how these tools can be used with the ideas introduced in the One Shot Workshop book, because a tool needs to be thoughtfully used or else a tutorial won't be of assistance.

Don't worry too much about diarrhea as long as you don't loose too much weight. Make sure that you drink enough water during this period.
Diarrhea can be caused by an allergic reaction but it also happens when your body sees an opportunity to get rid of toxins. It happens for example with people who eat a lot of fast food and suddenly start to consume raw veggies and fruits.
I'd just wait a few days and see if you still have diarrhea. Then remove all lactose products to see if this was the problem. Either way, never take medication for diarrhea!
Danny33 is right. Probiotics are overrated. Only a very small fraction reaches the bowels. I removed all probiotics from my diet (because diary products are inflammatory and because the pill form is way to expensive) and I don't feel any difference. The only probiotics I'd consider are fermented vegetables, but I don't know much about it.

This week has been all about one thing (well, two, if you count packing): savoring my hometown and the things I love best in it. I've ridden my horses six times this week. I've eaten at my favorite local restaurants. I've spent time with my closest friends and family. And I've been intentional about letting all of these things soak deeply into my consciousness.
As I've been going about this business of savoring, I've found myself saying goodbye, usually just in my mind but sometimes aloud, to all of the little things that make this place my home, the things I'll miss. Things that are part of me. What surprised me, though, is that all of these quiet goodbyes weren't sad and grief-stricken, but rather serene and peaceful. I kept thinking of the line from Rich Mullins' song "Elijah": "It won't break my heart to say goodbye." And that's a pretty good feeling to leave home with.
I won't post all of the goodbyes I've said, but here are a few. I've said some of them over and over.
Goodbye huge Texas sky. I'll miss the bright stars, impossibly distant horizons, and the colors that show up at sunrise and sunset.
Goodbye Mesquite barbeque and Mexican food. I won't stop loving you. Ever.
Goodbye Cypress Street, and all of my favorite things about our cute, quaint downtown: The Paramount, Bogie's, The Grace…
Goodbye rattlesnakes. I won't miss you!
Goodbye winter wheat and cotton crops in neat rows. Goodbye fallow fields that stretch on forever and fill with wild sunflowers in the summer months.
Goodbye Tigger, my houyhnhmn master. Who knew that a horse could be such a perfect teacher of horse skills and life skills?
Goodbye Junebug, my drama queen. I could always rely on you to be perfect when I was least expecting it, and to keep things interesting the rest of the time. I'm glad I never sold you.
Goodbye Soldier, my special blessing. I'll miss everything about you. Everyday.
Goodbye dust and drought. Please don't follow me or try to keep in touch.
Goodbye barn. Old hopes and dreams are stored there in tack trunks and are hidden in shadowed corners–keep them safe for a while longer.
Goodbye Buffalo Gap. The best days of my childhood were spent there with friends riding spotted ponies.
Goodbye roads that I could almost drive blindfolded.
Goodbye ACU English Department. I'm grateful for the time I spent there, especially as a graduate student. This move would literally not be possible without you, and leaving you feels like leaving family. I love you and will miss you more than you can know.
Goodbye burnt orange-upholstered stadium seats that have held me all my life. Goodbye Highland church. My life has been rooted in your loving company. My spirit has been fed by your faith. I'll miss you the most.
Goodbye diesel truck. I feel more like myself when I drive you. I'll miss the powerful growl of your engine and the smell of diesel.
Goodbye house. I'll miss the quiet and solitude, the rugged landscape all around, the deep blue room I have never grown tired of.
Goodbye walk-in closet.
Goodbye familiarity. Perhaps you'll make your way up north sometime soon.
As I've said these small goodbyes, I kept thinking, "I grew out of all of this like a weeping willow inclined to the appetites of gravity." I grew out of all of this. I grew out of all of this. I grew.

So it is that time of year where you wear summer dresses, shorts and those cute summer tops to stay cute and Cool. The one Vice I have is wearing sandals and flip flops cause I love to just feel free from those shoes I normally wear at work. The down side of it for me is that my feet get very dry and rough so I love to make my own home made body scrub to make my skin feel smooth and it scrubs away the rough patches on my feet.
I love to recycle bottles, glass jars, tin cans because you can always reuse them for presents or crafty projects. I love to use my glass jars that I get from yankee candle stores or the candles I buy from Bath and body Works. So when the wax is down to the very bottom I usually place them in the Freezer for a few days, and then take it out and break the rest of the old wax with a knife and there you have a nice empty glass jar.
How I make my Body scrub is with Brown sugar, Turbinado Sugar, olive oil, Vanilla and that is it. You can buy smelly scents at your local craft store if you do not want to smell like brown sugar usually Michael's carries scents to use to make soaps. As you notice I did not fill the whole jar up with the home made body scrub, but this stuff goes a long ways. I use it three times a week and i use very little. You really want to be careful when you use this in the shower cause it can cause the Shower floor or tub a little slippery so do not use to much.
How to mix it all together: Use 1/2 cup of Brown sugar, 1/2 a cup of Turbinado sugar, 1 cap full of vanilla, 1/4 cup of olive oil ( I would start out with 1/4 and if it is to dry then add a little bit of oil to your liking)
This can last a long time trust me I had mine for 9 months until I had to make another batch. Be sure and not leave the jar in the shower cause the lid can get rusty unless you decide to spray paint the lid with a rust-ole um type paint.
So enjoy a inexpensive way to stay soft, healthy and toxins or allergic based products. Have a happy summer!

In our previous post we really wanted to talk about Adwords Keyword Research Tool and recent improvements that Google have made. What used to happen for those who don't know is some figure between 0 and 1 which really meant you had to guesstimate the actual figure very carefully. This for most of us meant pulling some pie in the sky figure out of the air and trying to convince ourselves that it was 100%ish correct. Well they now provide actual figures. That was from our post about recent happenings and changes inSearch Engine Land.
Upon a re-read the actual big deal of it all wasn't made out to be such a big deal. It rather got swamped by all the other going ons and I rather think that actually the amount of interest it should have genearated on the internet was minimal because of the hoo haa with the Yahoo / Microsoft deal and the Google / Yahoo deal. Personally I think this is one of most significant changes to have happened ever! Certainly in terms of changes it's the biggest thing to come out of Google since the Dig Daddy algorithm change years ago. Simply I think Keyword Research is that important.
Folks I can't stress how big of a deal this actually is. If your running your own SEO or you even hired a company then either you or they are going to have to the whole thing again. Why? You may be running the wrong keywords.
Note: while I check this after the event the data below tells me if your not actually one of those smarty pants that used Adsense for keyword research in the first place, like us, you definitely are using the wrong keywords. That means your not getting the traffic you could be and your not generating the revenue you should be!
So I'm going to stick my neck out on the blog and run a live trial - that is I don't know what the figures will be because I haven't checked them yet. The important point to remember is that pretty much everyone tells you, you must run keyword research using Overture, Wordtracker or Keyword Discovery. In my opinion these tools don't tell you what Keywords you should be optimising for Google. So with my head in the guillotine that's start by checking stats on "SEO" keywords starting with the top 2 phrases on Google and comparing what everyone else says.
SEO - 301,000 (average) / 246,000 (June)
SEO UK - 14,800 (average) / 18,100 (June)
Ratio - 1 in 20
SEO - 240 - 9,193 (average)
SEO UK - 240 - 9,193 (average)
Ratio - same
MSN Adlabs
SEO - 242,571(June)
SEO UK - 6,977 (June)
Ratio - 1 in 35.
Ratio - 1 in 137
Keyword Discovery
Ratio - 1 in 3795
I don't think i need to say anything much - I'll leave that for another post. However the results are if you want a tool that provides authorative and precise data it's Adwords keyword research tool.
