Shreddy Krueger was formed in May 2011 as a casual outlet for four really close friends. The goal was simple, make music that meant something to us first and that incorporated elements of our favorite artists. We weren't trying to ride the hype of a scene; we literally established our common ground through our favorite heavy acts and started writing. The process was light and fun, but we quickly realized there was a ton of chemistry.
It wasn't anything we were taking seriously as far as turning into a career, but like any artist, we want to share our music with as many people as possible.
We've paid close attention to the state of the music industry and as we navigate it we really want to do something different. Gone are the days of large-scale physical releases, print marketing and endless repetitive touring of stale markets. It's all about putting on a fun show, expressing your personality and humor online and creating music with integrity and records without filler.
We try to avoid the hype of today's heavy music scene and keep the core goal of the band intact. Best friends having fun first and any type of success will follow naturally.

Practice Name: Bump 2 Babe
Location of Service: Malvern (VIC)
Hi! My name is Dahlia Lipson. I am a practicing Registered Nurse/Midwife with 7+ years' experience and have loved everything about my job including meeting new people and making a positive difference in their lives.
I have always had a particular love for women's health and childbirth but I must have always had a calling towards education. Classmates used to tell me "you'd make a great teacher Dahlia". Well, they were right! Here I am now, a passionate Hypnobirthing Australia Practitioner!
As a midwife and mother of two and having experienced such wonderful labours and births, I know the importance of feeling positive about pregnancy, labour and birth whether completely natural or not. Drawing on years of techniques and philosophies, current evidence-based research and effective relaxation techniques, mothers, partners and their babies can all benefit from the hypnobirthing approach to childbirth.
It is my mission and absolute privilege to help equip women and their birth partners with the knowledge, tools and support to feel prepared for a calm, empowered, safe and positive birth experience no matter what turn their journey may take.
Head to my website to book a class and I look forward to meeting you!

Practice Name: Breathe and birth
Hi, my name is Lisa, a passionate midwife of 4 years and paediatric nurse of 14 years.
I believe that it is the right of every woman to have a positive, empowering, beautiful and calm birth. I commonly see women come into hospital to have their baby with minimal knowledge of what to expect in labour and are happy to hand over all decisions to care givers.
The education and tools given in the hypnobirthing class, allows you and your birth partners to approach labour and birth in a positive way, with confidence to trust that your body is made to birth your baby and feel empowered that you can do it. With the aim to birth your baby calmly in whichever direction your labour journey takes you.
I myself have 3 beautiful children. Having had a normal birth, an emergency caesarean and a VBAC (Vaginal birth after caesarean), I know too well how important and how much of an amazing, long lasting effect, a positive and calm birth experience has on later life.
It would be such a privilege to teach you in this class. I want to inspire you, educate you and help you get your own positive birth.

Location of Services: Hawthorn East, Hawthorn, Auburn & Camberwell (VIC)
My interest for hypnobirthing originated in a chat at work when a colleague related what a great help hypnobirthing had been for the latest of her sister's pregnancies. I remember going to the hospital for antenatal checks later on, during my first pregnancy, and being really shaken and becoming increasingly anxious after hearing the labouring mothers' screams. My partner and I then decided to attend hypnobirthing classes and this was a revelation for both of us. And then I really took my family and midwives by surprise by how comfortable I was during my pre-labours and labours!
I am also a registered psychologist who holds a Psychology Masters, with training in trauma therapy and couple counselling. I completed my PhD by displaying an expert level of understanding in quantitative and qualitative research methods in the field of Health Sciences. I also have graduated with Philosophy Honours, specialising in the field of political philosophy. Thus my interest in hypnobirthing is also grounded in my academic background in psychology, scientific research, and political philosophy, and I can see hypnobirthing from the perspective of evidence-based integrative medicine and of human rights in childbirth.
Practice Name: Your Best Birth
Location of Service: Brighton East, VIC
Hello, I'm Megan. I am a qualified Hypnobirthing Australia practitioner, a midwife and a mother of one. I have recently completed my hypnobirthing training and have been a qualified midwife for 3 years. Congratulations on your pregnancy! As a midwife, I have looked after women and their partners through the antenatal, birthing and postnatal period. I understand that this can be an overwhelming experience and so I am extremely passionate about antenatal education and birth preparation as I believe the birth of your baby is the most important, and best day of your life.
Hypnobirthing classes will prepare you to understand labour and birth as a normal physiological event and will equip you with practical, evidence based tools and techniques to approach your birth with confidence and positivity.
This is the biggest and best moment of your life, and I can't wait to help you achieve the positive, gentle and empowered birth experience you want.
Practice Name: Positive Birth
Location of Services: Collingwood and Canterbury (Melbourne, VIC)
I have over twenty years experience as a midwife and childbirth educator in both the private and public sectors in Australia and the UK.
I am currently employed as a Midwife at a large private hospital in Melbourne.
For me being a midwife is best expressed by my personal midwifery philosophy. Being 'with woman' is grounded in the principles of health and well-being and combines both art and science. Midwifery is a partnership between the midwife and the woman and her family which encompasses the art of communication and trust, intrinsically linked with scientific knowledge and research and the practice of safe judgement. It celebrates the strength of women and I have witnessed the transformative power of a positive birth experience.
I believe couples embarking on this journey should have knowledge that allows them to approach birth with positive anticipation and confidence.
The principles of Hypnobirthing align perfectly with this philosophy of midwifery and the resources and skills that Hypnobirthing provides can make a positive difference and have a long lasting effect on a couple and their journey as parents.
Practice Name: Ready Mum
Location of Services: Docklands & Williamstown (Melbourne)
Hello, my name is Agnele (pronounced as Aniele). Professionally I'm a midwife and privately I'm a mother of 2 beautiful children. I chose hypnobirthing as my preferred method in childbirth education because I believe it teaches and inspires women, along with their partners as effective support, to birth calmly and fearlessly.
Nature intended for women to give birth with confidence, yet for many pregnant women I've met, the perception of physical pain involved provokes fear and apprehension of the birthing process. I want to support pregnant women and their partners to learn some important and valuable mind and body techniques.
I believe these techniques will provide confidence, support and strength allowing you and your partner to embrace the birthing process, not fear it.

Danielle offers, one-on-one couple session, monthly group sessions, refresher courses and hypnobirthing for caesarean.
Location of Service: Ringwood East (VIC)
As a registered nurse, midwife and maternal and child health practitioner, I care for families through providing safety, security and understanding through the complex and sometimes daunting experience that is childbirth and early parenthood.
On a personal level, I have often found myself struggling to come to terms with the highly medicalised, unintuitive and business-like path birth has taken in Australia. Through the media and health professionals instilling the subliminal message that birth is a high-risk event to be managed and feared, we have lost the ability to trust the incredibly clever process that is natural birth.
As a certified Hypnobirthing Australia practitioner, I offer women and their partners the opportunity to explore birth as a natural life experience. Equipped with a balance of information around natural techniques, normal birth physiology and the art of deep relaxation, parents and their babies can look forward to a safe, positive and gentle birth experience.

Servicing: Boronia (VIC)
Hi there! I've been working with birthing women for over 15 years. I've been a midwife for nearly 13 years and what a wonderful journey that's been. It's such a privilege to work with families in my community. I'm a mother of 3 and all of my births have been with midwives and have been wonderful, life changing experiences. The midwives who cared for me provided such helpful, patient encouragement, I'm indebted to them for life. Having said that, my aim for families that I work with is to be able to say "We did this together, as a couple !" and to be able to feel like they are stronger as a couple and more empowered together. I'd like couples to feel like they had all the tools themselves, and that it doesn't necessarily matter where they birthed or how they birthed but they feel empowered and positive about their birthing experience. Able to go into parenting as a couple who are stronger and ready for whatever parenting has in store for them. This is what Hypnobirthing can do for you !!

Practice name: Tranquil birth
Servicing: Cranbourne, Melbourne (VIC)
I am a proud mum of 3 children; a nurse/midwife with over 10 years' experience in both the public and private health care sectors and a I'm a Hypnobirthing practitioner. I facilitate childbirth education classes that assist women and their birth partners to release fear surrounding labour and birth. Instead they leave feeling empowered and excited.
When I had my children I was uninformed and I felt like control had almost totally been taken out of my hands. I was wrapped up in my fear and I know that this greatly affected my birth experience. As a midwife I see this happening in practice all too often. When I became a midwife I had the privilege to be part of a beautiful hypnobirth. That was the moment that I knew there was a better way and I had to share this information.
I am dedicated to empowering women throughout their pregnancy and birth. I believe by having confidence and by learning to trust their body women are able to bring their babies into the world calmly and experience birth as a wondrous, profound and joyful event.

Hi, I'm Katherine, I am a mother of three young children and a certified Hypnobirthing Australia™ practitioner.
I love teaching the Hypnobirthing Australia™ program to expecting couples! I have successfully used hypnobirthing techniques during the births of my babies and have experienced labour both with and without hypnobirthing. This program helped me to relax and enjoy my pregnancy and labour and have the most amazing experiences of my life, beautiful, peaceful and calm natural births.
I really enjoy teaching parents the hypnobirthing techniques and helping them to release fears and anxieties towards birth. Society often focuses on the baby centred view of birth – as long as there is a healthy baby at the end that's all that matters. I prefer to view birth as baby and mother (and father) focused, where mother's wellbeing, physical, mental and emotional, is just as important as baby's.
I previously trained as a Mongan Method Hypnobirthing practitioner but have since trained in the Hypnobirthing Australia program as it is uniquely designed for contemporary Australian families.
If you would like to have a chat please call me on 0438 376 213 or email me email@example.com
Hello, I'm Simone. I am a qualified Hypnobirthing Australia practitioner, and mother of one who used these techniques to peacefully birth my daughter – so I know firsthand they work. woman deserves a positive birth experience, and I'm incredibly passionate about empowering women to take control of their labour. This doesn't necessarily mean a drug free labour, but a significant event in your life where you can remain calm and recollect the experience with happiness; however your birthing journey unfolds.
As both a keen meditator and a Science graduate from The University of Melbourne, I'm delighted to say I've found a blend of intuitive wisdom and logic present in Hypnobirthing Australia's course. It just makes sense on so many levels.
Birthing a child is arguably one of the biggest moments in a mother's life. These classes prepare you to understand labour and birth as a normal physiological event, and will equip you with practical tools to approach your birth with confidence and positivity. I encourage you to put the energy into preparing for the birth of your child. I'd love to help ensure you are in the driver's seat for your big day.

I'm a clinical psychologist, hypnobirthing practitioner and freelance writer with a keen interest in perinatal mental health, women's wellness and parenting. You can find my words on parenting websites such as Essential Baby and Essential Kids. I've also provided expert media comment for publications like Kidspot, Dolly, and Take 5.
After working with many women who have experienced doubts, fears and even trauma regarding their births, I began thinking there must be better way to positively support women before they birth, rather than focusing on only healing negative experiences after the fact.
I had been following Melissa Spilsted's amazing hypnobirthing program for many years. When I was preparing myself for the birth of my own daughter, Stella, I felt this would be the perfect opportunity to use myself as a guinea pig! My labour with Stella was intense and super quick, but I felt calm and recognised what was happening to my body each step of the way, just as hypnobirthing taught me.
As a practitioner, and a mother, I really do believe that the positive, evidence-based approach used in Australian Hypnobirthing makes all the difference to a calm, empowered birth.
Practice Name: Geelong Born

Hi, I'm Rosie.
I have proudly been working as a registered nurse and midwife for over 10 years. During this time, I have worked in a wide variety of women's health and maternity settings. My role at Geelong Born focuses on independent childbirth education and midwifery support. I strive to empower, inspire and bring confidence to expectant parents.
I am mum to my two beautiful little girls. My own positive birthing experiences have given me further drive to promote pregnancy and childbirth as a natural and profound life event. I believe all births are unique and that women should be supported in a way that is individually tailored to their own needs. I draw upon experience as a mum and a midwife to 'keep birth normal' and avoid unnecessary intervention.
I am delighted to be a Certified Hypnobirthing Australia™ Practitioner. I passionately believe this program gives couples the best chance of achieving the birth they dream of. I take a relaxed and friendly approach during my classes and I feel very privileged to be teaching expectant parents how to give birth in such a calm and positive way.

Servicing: Phillip Island (Cowes & Inverloch)
I am a hypnobirthing mother, Hypnobirthing Australia™ Certified Practitioner, a doula-in-training, and a positive birth advocate.
After the birth of my daughter in 2013, I knew that I wanted to be involved in birth and to ultimately help other women achieve the positive birth experience that I did.
It is my belief that it is every woman's right to experience a positive and empowered birth; the Hypnobirthing Australia™ program can help women to achieve this. That's why I'm so excited to be able to offer this method of childbirth education to women, and their birth partner's, in my area.

I am a practicing midwife; I have been working in a Midwifery Group Practice model since 2011 providing continuity of care to many women.
I had been intuitively working with visualisation and meditation techniques with labouring women within my own practice, therefore I sought out the Hypnobirthing Australia program to help build on my working foundations in turn using this proven program to educate women and their partners, who are committed to birthing together, who wish to take control and who seek the emancipation to birth without fear. I promote a holistic approach to birth. I support the belief that labour and birth can be positive and strive to ensure you achieve a positive, satisfying and supported birth, whatever the outcome!!

Customized IKEA Kitchen: Get the Look
IKEA is a common source for kitchen renovations, in part because it can be easily adapted and customized. Roy and Jen's New York home offers good ideas for personalizing an off-the-shelf kitchen. Their cabinets come from IKEA, but their custom shelving and semi-custom kitchen table tailor the space to their needs.
IKEA Kitchen Cabinets
The kitchen cabinets are from the Akurum line (in high-gloss white) with Lansa handles. All IKEA kitchens start with the Akurum system, which can be customized according to your needs, and comes with a 25-year limited warranty.
Custom Wraparound Shelving
Bear Woodworking
As architects, Roy and Jen were able to design a customized storage "pod" in the center of their apartment. The walls of the pod are made from shelving (built by Brooklyn-based Bear Woodworking) that serves the kitchen, dining, and living areas.
Simple, Streamlined Appliances
Jen and Roy's appliances are basic built-in models from Jenn Air. An oven paired with an electric cooktop keeps the kitchen looking clean and streamlined, while the white appliances blend in seamlessly with the kitchen cabinets.
Industrial Table and Stools
Advance Tabco
The table is custom built from built from a restaurant supply store base and a butcher block top. For a similar base, check out online restaurant kitchen catalog Advance Tabco, or see this post.
Hardwood Lumber Company
The butcher block comes from the New York-based Hardwood Lumber Company. They sell several butcher block counters in ash, beech, oak, maple, cherry, and walnut (Jen and Roy's choice).
Mohawk Medical Mall
The stainless steel stools are a type of lab furniture that can be found through medical stores, industrial supply catalogs, or online stores like Amazon.com. This lab stool is $330 through Mohawk Medical Mall.
Other Relevant Resources
This online retailer is well-known for stocking a huge inventory of discounted designer items for kitchens and bathrooms. Look here for a large selection of sinks, slim dishwashers, and built-in appliances for small kitchens.
Restaurant Supply Stores
When you're looking for chef's quality at good value, it helps to check out restaurant supply stores. Many of them carry stainless steel counters, specialty faucets and taps, and industrial shelving that works well in a modern kitchen.
Industrial Supply Stores
Catalogs for industrial warehouses often have useful pieces for kitchens, including stools, cabinets, and shelving. Many suppliers (such as C&H, F&S, and Uline) sell directly to retail consumers.

Our next project was sent to us by a reader who clearly has a great hand for crafts! These Invitation Packages are a little more complicated than other projects, but I wanted to share as I think they are so cute...and I think that you can use this idea as inspiration to create your own projects!
Heavy Weight Decorative Paper in 2-3 styles (I used the purple card stock and a straw-like stock)
Bone Folder
Glue or other adhesive
Decorative Stamp and White Pigment Ink
Doily Paper
Tissue Paper, cut to size
2" Circular Punch
1/8" Hole Punch
Satin Ribbon
Vellum Envelopes
1. I made a folder for the invitation using heavy paper. I cut out a 10x7 rectangle with a triangular section below the right side.
2. I used a bone folder to score the middle (where the folder's spine is) and at the bottom of of the right side so the triangular part could be folded upward.
3. Then I glued the right side of the triangle to the right edge of the folder to make a pocket.
4. I stamped the triangular pocket of the folder using white pigment ink.
5. Then I cut a 5x7 piece of paper doily and glued it to the cover of the folder.
6. I glued the invitation card on the left inside of the folder and stuffed the enclosures in the right hand pocket with the tissue paper rectangles between the cards.
7. I used a 2-inch circular punch to make a paper disc and stamped our initials on it using white pigment ink. Then I punched two 1/8" of an inch holes on either side of it.
8. I cut rectangles of different colored tissue paper to use between the cards.
9. I closed the folder with the contents inside and tied satin ribbon around the middle, threading through the holes in the paper disc and tying it behind the disc. Then I took a straw flower and glued it on the back side of the paper disc.
10. To make the liner, trace the envelope onto a sheet of pretty paper. Cut it out and trim the upper triangular portion about half an inch on either side and trimmed the other 3 rectangular sides by about 1/8 of an inch.
11. Finally I stuffed the folder into the envelope and tied the envelope with twine (like a package) and tied a bow on the front with a couple 1-inch paper discs threaded onto it. I put that envelope into a slightly larger vellum/glassine envelope. I put stickers that were addressed on the front of the glassine envelope (the font is Memoir from Veer).

Is Katy Perry doomed at the MTV Video Music Awards?
Perry has had a chummy history with the VMA Awards -- she even met her future husband Russell Brand there back in 2009 when she performed Queen's "We Will Rock You" with Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry and Brand hosted. She was nominated for best female video then for "Hot n Cold," but lost.
At that point, Perry was probably numb to her losses, though. One year earlier, her red-hot "I Kissed a Girl" lost for best female video, best new artist, best editing, best art direction and best cinematography.
Last year, her "California Gurls" got trounced in the races for best female video and best pop video. Now she's up for video of the year ("Firework"), female video ("Firework") and best collaboration ("E.T."). What gives?

Physics of Baseball
- Length: 1477 words (4.2 double-spaced pages)
- Rating: Excellent
Baseball is a fascinating sport that is exceptionally fun to play. This assignment is all about understanding the physics of a few key aspects of this sport. One might ask what physics could have to do with baseball? Like most sports baseball involves physical motion. Baseball encompasses all three planes of motion through throwing, hitting, and fielding. All of the classical laws of mechanics can be applied to understand the physics of this game.
Baseball is not a difficult game to comprehend, but it can a very long time to achieve a high level of performance. Usually one starts playing this game at a very young age and the first thing they start out with is throwing. Throwing a baseball involves exploiting all major muscle groups in the body to generate a large torque on the arm that will in turn create a high potential for speed when it is released.
Throwing is a fairly natural activity for a person. Everyone at some point in time has thrown some object at a person. In baseball throwing becomes an art. Throwing a baseball is a relatively easy task, but throwing it accurately and with a high speed is difficult. People who play this sport spend a very long time perfecting their throw.
When one throws a baseball properly they are using there entire body to generate a large force to propel the baseball. A general throwing position starts with a person rotated 90 degrees from there target with there throwing arm 180 degrees from the target and parallel to the ground. The person then starts rotating their body back towards their target while there throwing arm starts bending until it is almost 90 degrees to their elbow, while the arm is bending at the elbow the throwing arm is rotating such that the arm rotates back almost 180 degrees from the target. Meanwhile the person is leaping forward with the leg that was initially pointed at the target while there other leg is planted into the ground. The person is bending at their waist and the other arm is rotating into their body. Around the point where the driving leg strikes the ground the throwing arm is rotating foreword at a tremendous angular speed and the person lets go of the ball. At the point where the ball is let go the persons body pulls the planted leg forward and the throwing arm finishes its motion towards the driving leg.

The person is then generally square with the target.
From this one can determine that it isn't exactly easy to throw a ball properly. To be honest, it takes a lot of talent and hard work to achieve the perfection that major league players have. It is interesting to know that most major league pitchers arms are rotating around 90 to 100 mph during the firing stage.
So what just exactly is this torque coming from? It is coming from all of the forces in your body working together and acting on your arm. Even though most of the component forces come from many different parts of the body, they are all linked together in such a way they generate a large resultant force that pulls the arm back and then it rotates it foreword. It is helpful to visualize this like a whip. During the loading phase you are using your body to move the tip of the whip behind you and when you fire it the tip rotates forward at an extremely fast angular speed. The process of throwing acts very much the same way. During the loading phase of throwing your body is rotating your arm backwards using the combined forces from your body until the point where your arm stops rotating backwards and it starts rotating foreword at a very high speed from the torque. Part of the torque that rotates the arm forward comes from your arms resistance to rotating backwards. Try putting your forearm 90 degrees to the rest of your arm that is parallel to the ground, then try rotating it backwards. You should notice that the farther you rotate your armback the faster your arm wants to spring back.
One of the most interesting things about baseball is the motion of an actual baseball as it travels its path. This motion can be fairly unpredictable at times.
After you have managed to generate a large amount of torque in your throwing arm the ball will be released. What happens to the baseball? This is where physics can come in handy. When you throw a baseball there are several things that can have a large affect on the motion of a baseball as it is traveling, but a couple of the most important ones are grip and the release point. The reason the grip is so important is because the baseball has raised seams. When the ball is traveling through the air it is rotating. Since there is air resistance the seams play a key role in the motion of the baseball. Just like airplanes can maneuver through the air by means of a rudder and ailerons, the seams in conjunction with the rotation can cause the ball to move in a slightly comparable manor. As the ball is traveling through the air it is creating high and low pressure fronts. The seams can cause turbulence in the motion. Figure 5 shows a picture of the pressure fronts around a baseball.
The reason why grip has a lot to do with the motion of the baseball is it largely determines the rotation of the baseball. Take for an example a paper airplane. Try throwing it a few times while gripping it at different points on the paper airplane. You should notice a difference in the motion of each grip. Throwing a baseball with a different grip acts very much the same. The rotation of the baseball in combination with the way the seam is spinning through the air causes the ball to move in different patterns. A few common pitches are the fastball, curve ball, slider, and the screwball. Each of these pitches has a different spin because of how the player grips the ball. Figure 6 shows a picture of what the spin looks like from the batters view of a right-handed pitcher.
Now comes the interesting part. Not only can most major league pitchers throw upwards in the 90 to 100 mph range, they can also throw pitches that move in wildly unpredictable patterns and change the magnitude of the velocity from pitch to pitch. This is makes hitting at a major league level very challenging.
There is very little that can match the excitement one experiences when they hit a baseball flawlessly. This experience although exhilarating is very difficult to do. In the major leagues the ball takes less than a half a second for the ball to cross the plate once the pitcher has released the ball. Given that it takes a quarter of a second to complete a swing, a tenth of a second do decide where to swing, and the time for the ball to cross the plate is about a hundredth of a second. The actual collision lasts for about a thousandth of a second. This happens incredibly fast. In fact, hitting a 90 mph fastball is considered hardest thing to do in any sport according to many experts. "If a person from another planet was told what's involved ... they would say it's impossible," says Porter Johnson, a physics professor at Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago. [1]
Hitting the baseball perfectly is often called hitting the sweet spot. This location varies on all bats, but it is generally considered to be about 5 to 7 inches from the end of the barrel. When you hit an object with a wood bat at the sweet spot you are hitting the fundamental node. When the bat meets the baseball the collision causes the bat vibrate. Hitting a baseball on the wrong part of the bat can be painful, especially on a cold day. If you hit the ball at the fundamental mode the bat doesn't vibrate. In physics the collision of the bat and the ball is considered elastic. An elastic collision between two objects is one in which the total kinetic energy and total momentum is the same before and after the collision. When you swing a bat you are doing work. If the collision causes the bat to vibrate it is doing work and hence it is using energy. Since the energy is conserved, the energy from the collision must equal the energy of the system after the collision. The collision causes the bat to vibrate hence there is less energy that can be transferred to the ball because energy from the collision was used in the vibrations.

Old La Honda Road (trail loop)
Old La Honda Road is well-known to road bikers. I sometimes refer to some rides as a "benchmark climb". It appears that this particular road might be the mother of all benchmark climbs for road riders in this area. I don't think that's because it's a very challenging climb, since it is not. It must be because it's evenly graded, well defined, and convenient. I saw one web page that quotes a time even for Lance Armstrong's climb of this road, but I couldn't find any other evidence to substantiate it. There was also a race called "Low-Key Hill Climb Series" that used to be held along this climb, apparently.
Of course, it doesn't hurt that the setting of the road is very pretty. The climb takes place on very rugged terrain enveloped in greenery from beginning to end; starting out in the sparse suburban setting of well-to-do Woodside in oak woodlands, with the density of residences diminishing gradually as you get higher, and occasionally snaking through redwoods groves at the higher elevations.
This is a short ride, mostly on paved roads. It's really just an "Old La Honda Road climb" with a return by the nearest trail descent option. This is one of the rides on my "weekday morning ride before work" list. It's one I prefer for this purpose especially when it has rained recently and I'd like to stay away from most trails. The only trail component of this ride is on a fire road without any tree cover.
This particular ride starts from the Windy Hill Open Space parking lot. This lot opens at sunrise, as of this writing. You could also park at any other suitable spot you can find along the stretch of this loop on Portola Road, but I don't believe parking on the roadside is legal, for the most part. There is a wide, gravelly, roadside area roughly midway between the Old La Honda Road junction and the start of Sand Hill Road, though. Of course, this is assuming you'd like to do the climb first. If you're okay with descending first, then you can look for parking along the Skyline Boulevard stretch of the loop instead.
After a flat stretch of the ride on Portola Road (part of which is accompanied by a roadside trail), you turn onto Old La Honda Road. Once the "real" climb on Old La Honda starts (roughly at the first hairpin curve), it lasts for almost exactly 3 miles until you meet with Skyline Boulevard, and averages a grade that is a touch under 8%. Naturally, there are brief spots where it's considerably steeper than that, but all such spots recorded by my GPS receiver had a grade less than 14%. The climb will not feel like any special challenge to anyone who is used to doing road climbs, and it will feel even less so with the low gearing of a mountain bike, but it's a good workout. Like I said, it's suitable for being a morning ride, or a ride where you can return to time yourself to see how your fitness has progressed. The road is very narrow but its traffic is extremely light. There is a double yellow dividing line along the middle in the earliest stretches of the climb, but it soon disappears and doesn't re-emerge until you reach Skyline.
Upon reaching Skyline Boulevard, you turn left and the entrance to the trail portion of this ride in Windy Hill Open Space is only a short and moderate climb away. You take Spring Ridge Trail downhill through that park. This is a fire-road descent almost all the way to the parking lot. But, the views of the bay in front of you still keep you nicely entertained (that is, if the steeper portions of the descent don't).
I should point out that, while I did say this is a weekday morning ride that I prefer to do after rains in order to stay away from trails, there was at least one ride I did here two days after some rain and a couple of spots on Spring Ridge Trail were like waterslides! (To be fair, that was toward the end of a season that was very rainy in general, though.) A partial slide down the mud on a steep fire road may not match many people's notion of fun. In fact, my riding buddy slipped and fell off his bike in one of those muddy sections that day. Then again, for some people fond of adrenaline, that might count as bonus fun. In other words, while you may consider this ride after rains because it's mostly on pavement, don't take that as a guarantee that the trail portion of the ride will be completely dry.
If you like this basic ride route but are left wanting more mileage, extending the ride should be an easy matter. For additional road mileage, you can take your pick from any of the extension options I have listed near the end of the Old La Honda road loop description on this site. If trail mileage is what you're after instead, then your nearest good options will be a little further down Skyline Boulevard on Russian Ridge, or across the road from it on Alpine Road in Coal Creek Open Space Preserve. Skeggs Point isn't too far either, being a little over four miles northwest from the top of Old La Honda on Skyline Boulevard, though Skeggs is worth a full ride on its own, so it might be better to leave that for another time.

Ah, looks like this was my fault in 2003! Wow, long time ago.I don't know why exactly I did this (add the subdirectory) and the commit log is not very clarifying. I don't think there is any policy regarding the placement of configuration files in per-package subdirectories.
That said, I *think* the program should work fine if you just pass --sysconfdir=${PKG_SYSCONFDIR} to the configure script? You'll need to do this anyway regardless of whether you kill PKG_SYSCONFSUBDIR or not because the default in the package Makefile is to look for configuration files in ${PREFIX}/etc

We've moved now from the equatorial jungle on the Caribbean side of the nation (Tortuguero) to the cloud forest (Monteverdi) which sits on the spine of Costa Rica's center. It was a big trip by a small plane and a van, and the change in environment is bigger yet. Wikipedia defines a cloud forest as follows: "A cloud forest, also called a fog forest, is a generally tropical or subtropical evergreen montane moist forest characterized by a persistent, frequent or seasonal low-level cloud cover, usually at the canopy [tree top] level. Cloud forests often exhibit an abundance of mosses covering the ground and vegetation, in which case they are also referred to as mossy forests. Mossy forests usually develop on the saddles of mountains, where moisture introduced by settling clouds is more effectively retained."
My hikes through Tortuguero's forest were all about slogging through mud along with hundreds of thousands of marching army ants (and wearing high rubber boots which the ants are disinclined, fortunately, to climb), wishing the boots weren't needed because it was so damn hot, careful where you put your hand (spiders, snakes, bats). At one point I stood still for just a minute or two, and then discovered a web had been started connecting my shoulder to the top of my walking stick. The sounds were cicada, monkey, the chatter and squawk of unseen birds. My first hike here is remarkably different.
Hiking literally through clouds, fairly often having to wipe the moisture from my glasses, this place is hushed and feels like something drawn from a Tolkien novel. Life here is all hummingbird (another of Diana Phillips photos shows one by one of the lodge's feeders) and butterfly, including the iridescent blue giant Morpho.
Trees here are not just trees: each is a complex habitat, home to what feels like hundreds, maybe thousands of epiphytes (those plants which live without roots: air plants and mosses are the ones we're most used to seeing back home). But in addition to what we're used to, here there are strangler vines which quite literally cover a tree with what eventually becomes a bark exoskeleton, as well as orchids and ferns sprouting out, one quite on top of the other, in a crazy busyness of plants.
I'm back at the lodge after a good day of birding (and bugging, and just enjoying the incredible abundance of life all around me). Forgive the iPhone photos (again), but this struck me as funny enough to post it, and this camera is the only one at hand.
Sitting alone with a book and a cup of coffee, across from a table of coffee and cakes set out by the staff, I am joined by this Coati Mundi. Obviously aware of me sitting not ten feet from his intended target, he does a chin-up to climb the table and leisurely does away with the cake, one piece at a time. I think of all the calls I get at work from people annoyed by the bold invasiveness of Raccoons, and I imagine that there are several someones with my job title down here listening to similar complaints about these animals.
My advice to those callers, which they rarely find satisfactory, is to keep the food away and enjoy that they live where wildlife still thrives. I wonder if that goes over any better when the wildlife not only includes these long-nosed versions of Raccoons, but also Crocodiles, Bushmasters and Eyelash Vipers.

Horse cases are usually about Section 183 (hobby loss). Although the heading notes of the case indicate that Stefan Tolin may have been facing a hobby loss challenge, apparently he managed to convince the IRS that he really was trying to make money by finding the appropriate sexual partners for stallion Choosing Choice. The stakes were not that high as these case go, just over $10,000 in tax for the years 2002, 2003 and 2004. Further lowering the stakes was the fact that the IRS was attacking using Code Section 469 (Passive activities). Had Mr. Tolin lost the case, he would have ultimately been allowed the deductions - probably for the tax year 2009, when, according to this story, he disposed of all his horses.
Why This Case Is Very Important
Code Section 469 requires us to sort our trade or business activities into passive and non-passive. I call the "passive activity" concept an oxymoron, because it had nothing to do with interest and dividends which, in other areas of the Code, are considered passive income. You have to have an ownership interest in a trade or business for the rules to apply to you. Then the question becomes whether you "materially participate". There are a number of ways to meet the material participation standard. The gold standard is 500 hours per year.
The main problem that taxpayers have in meeting the standard is getting the IRS or the Tax Court to believe them. Although, the regulations do not have a specific record keeping requirement, the IRS and the Tax Court has taken to calling reconstructions of time spent "post-event ballpark guesstimates". Mr. Tolin's reconstruction stood up which makes the case significant beyond the horse business.
The Story
Pretty much everything I know about the horse breeding business, I've learned from reading Tax Court decisions. The appeal of working with animals quite a bit bigger than I who appear to defecate quite a bit escapes me. Also, the stories in the Tax Court lead me to believe that the business consists of calamity following misfortune or as my blogging buddy, Robert Flach would put it, one GD thing after another.
Mr. Tolin's focus in the years in question was on a stallion named Chosen Choice. Chosen Choice's racing career had been cut short by injuries, but he had done well enough to have potential in the post racing career of the successful stallion.
Petitioner believed that Choosing Choice could become a profitable stud horse because of his racing ability. He engaged a thoroughbred consultant who specialized in pedigree analysis, commonly known as "nicking", to research and analyze Choosing Choice's pedigree.
I'm surprised that eHarmony.com has not launched a horse division. There is a lot more opportunity for repeat business.
The ultimate success of the thoroughbred activity depended on the racing success of Choosing Choice's progeny. If some of the foals sired by Choosing Choice became accomplished racehorses, more breeders would pay to breed their mares to Choosing Choice and petitioner would be more likely to earn stallion awards. Moreover, he could earn breeder awards if the foals of his broodmares developed into successful racers. Petitioner was confident that Choosing Choice's offspring would inherit his speed and that the stallion would become recognized as a proven producer of capable racehorses if petitioner could breed him to at least 15 to 20 mares for five or six consecutive breeding seasons. >
Actually, maybe the software they use for AdultFriendFinder , might have more potential. At any rate, Mr. Tolin boarded Chosen Choice in Louisiana, even though he lived in Minnesota. Apparently the horse dating scene is a lot more favorable down there. The arrangement required several trips to Louisiana and a lot of time on the phone,as Mr. Tolin had reserved responsibility for match-making to himself.
How Much Time Does It Take To Get Your Horse _______ ?
Since the IRS had already conceded that expenses were well documented and there there was a profit motive, the only matter in controversy was whether Mr. Tolin passed the magical five hundred hour limit. He made a really strong case, even though he did not have detailed logs.
While the narrative summary is a postevent review of petitioner's claimed participation in the thoroughbred activity, the parties stipulated his performance of many of the activities described therein, and a significant amount of credible third-party witness testimony and objective evidence indicates that it is an accurate depiction of his thoroughbred activity during the years at issue.
Phone records were a big help.
Petitioner used both the landline at his law office and his cell phone to make calls related to the thoroughbred activity. His cell phone records from April 23, 2003, through December 31, 2004, and his landline records from August 31, 2003, through December 16, 2004, were stipulated by the parties. Petitioner testified that he requested complete telephone records for 2002 through 2004 after respondent's examination of his returns for those years began, but his service providers no longer had the oldest of the requested records.
Consistent with the witness testimony, the phone records in evidence reveal that petitioner called Louisiana numbers multiple times daily. Petitioner testified that all such calls were related to the thoroughbred activity because he did not call anyone in Louisiana for any other purpose. Combined, the partial records for 2003 show that he made 1,950 long-distance calls to Louisiana numbers that lasted 173 hours (i.e., not including calls he made from his cell phone while in Louisiana). The nearly complete 2004 records show 2,755 long-distance calls to Louisiana lasting a combined 220 hours. The records do not show the origin of any incoming calls; thus they are not helpful in establishing the extent of any calls he received from Louisiana numbers.
There was a lot more including witness statements to support Mr. Tolin's long days in Louisiana.
The Tax Court still did some nit-picking.
Canterbury Park is Minnesota's only racetrack. ..... We do not doubt petitioner's testimony regarding the time he spent at Canterbury Park or his claim that he learned about racehorse injuries and training through his discussions with the owners and trainers. However, we will disregard the time he spent there for purposes of determining material participation because he failed to satisfactorily explain how his trips to Canterbury Park were connected to the thoroughbred activity, i.e., his effort to profit from breeding Choosing Choice.
In the end it was enough.
The nature and extent of the activities described in petitioner's narrative summary are corroborated by phone records, third-party witness testimony, the parties' comprehensive stipulations of fact, and other contemporaneous materials.
Was It Worth It?
In his interview with Blood-Horse, Mr. Tolin was upbeat about the outcome of the case.
During his six-year audit battle Tolin said his health suffered and he had to sell all his horses five years ago to cover his legal costs. He's glad to be on the winning side with hope of recovering most of his expenses, but he said it more important to the industry to have a court opinion providing clearer guidelines for owners who have substantial investments but don't own a farm or have their business incorporated.
"Choosing Choice didn't really pan out," Tolin said. "But for what he couldn't accomplish as a stallion, he has made up for to the industry through this case."
Still, if you have a money losing side activity, that you think will ultimately be profitable, it is worth considering staying below the material participation guideline and just letting your losses accumulate to shelter your ultimate earnings. Your return will have a much lower audit profile. If the activity, never becomes profitable, you can definitively abandon it in a a year when things are going well on your day job and claim the losses in that year. If you are showing the year by year losses, the IRS will likely start off attacking you on hobby loss which will might cause you to lose the deductions entirely.
You can follow me on twitter @peterreillycpa.
Lew Taishoff got to the case ahead of me (Being a lawyer and all maybe he is not doing returns in early April). His post is titled "I've Got The Horse Right Here." Don't know what it is with tax bloggers and show tunes. Probably the influence of George M. Cohan.

Biomonitoring to Evaluate the Effectiveness of Local PFC Exposure Reduction Initiatives
Environmental testing conducted by the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) and other state agencies discovered drinking water contamination from legacy disposal of wastes containing perfluorochemicals (PFCs) in communities located east of Minneapolis-St. Paul (the "East Metro"). In response, measures to reduce exposures to PFCs in drinking water were implemented in 2006, including installation of carbon filtration systems in public and private water supplies and provision of alternative water sources for households using private wells.
As a result of community and policymakers' concerns about this contamination, the MDH Environmental Health Tracking and Biomonitoring Program conducted a biomonitoring pilot project in 2008 to measure PFCs in the blood of 196 East Metro residents exposed to contaminated drinking water. Results showed that residents' blood levels were higher than the national average.
To determine whether the actions taken to reduce drinking water exposure to PFCs were successful, MDH staff conducted a follow-up biomonitoring project in 2010-2011. PFC blood levels were measured in 164 participants from the earlier project. Results showed that blood levels of the three most commonly detected PFCs declined substantially (from 13-26% on average) since 2008. The findings indicate that the public health interventions put into place to reduce PFC exposures in drinking water in these Minnesota communities were effective. Activities for this project, including local communications and outreach, would not have been possible without significant support from the MN Legislature and federal funding from the CDC National Environmental Public Health Tracking Network.

Ibovespa Falls on Economic Prospects as JBS Tumbles After Deal
The Ibovespa dropped as economists covering Brazil cut their projections for growth and increased estimates for the benchmark interest rate, dimming the outlook for company earnings.
JBS SA (JBSS3) tumbled the most in six months after the world's largest beef producer agreed to buy meat-processing plants in Brazil from Marfrig Alimentos SA. (MRFG3) Itau Unibanco Holding SA led lenders lower after Standard & Poor's last week revised its credit outlook to negative.
The Ibovespa dropped 0.7 percent to 51,270.69 at 10:46 a.m. in Sao Paulo, extending a two-day decline to 3 percent. Forty-nine of 71 stocks fell on the gauge. The real weakened 1 percent to 2.1530 reais.
"Investors and economists are pessimistic about Brazil now, and we don't see any news or reason for it to be different," Alvaro Bandeira, a partner at Orama Asset Management, said by phone from Rio de Janeiro. "Companies should suffer from this scenario of low growth and rising interest rates."
Analysts reduced their projections for economic growth to 2.53 percent in 2013 from 2.77 percent while raising estimates for the country's year-end benchmark interest rate to 8.75 percent from 8.50 percent, according to a weekly survey by the central bank posted today on its website.
JBS lost as much as 6.3 percent to 6.63 reais. Marfrig soared as much as 9.4 percent to 8.15 reais. A close at that level would be the highest since April 1. Itau fell 0.3 percent to 31.17 reais.
The Ibovespa (IBOV) has slumped 19 percent from this year's peak on Jan. 3 amid concern accelerating inflation may curb Brazil's economic recovery and the government's interventionist policies will hurt profits in industries including utilities and energy. The MSCI BRIC Index of shares in Brazil, Russia, India and China has dropped 13 percent over the same period.
Brazil's benchmark equity gauge trades at 11.2 times analysts' earnings estimates for the next four quarters, compared with a 10.5 multiple for the MSCI Emerging Markets Index of 21 developing nations' equities, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
Trading volume for stocks in Sao Paulo was 8 billion reais on June 7, compared with a daily average of 7.71 billion reais this year, according to data compiled by the exchange.

I like Weldbond found at most hardware stores, cheap, dries in about 4-6 hours, and I can't tell it from other high priced stuff sold on lineWeldbond will work fine on paper cones.... don't know about poly cones though.Weldbond works fine on polyconesAfter testing 5-6 glues, Aleene's Tacky Glue (available at Michael's crafts stores, or on line, ask SWMBO) is indistingushable from the PE surround glue, in use or finish. and its a lot cheaper than PE.Don't use elmers, it dries very stiff.I had used black silicone RTV (for auto glass windshield) for rubber and foam too and epoxy resine for dust cap. 3m Black Super Weatherstrip Adhesive (orange box) seems to work pretty well. ~$4.00 for a large tube. I used Aleene's Tacky Glue (less than $2.00 for a 4oz bottle- I bought it at Joanne's Frabric Store, but most Craft stores carry it)I finally found some of that Aleene's tacky glue - it is different than Elmers and Weldbond in that it doesn't flow. It stays in a little bead where you put it. Works great. I have also tried Loctite fabric glue because it dries quickly, but the tacky glue does work better.Does anyone know if the Aleenes tacky glue works on poly cones (is that it? the hard plastic like cones).Plastic isn't an issue, and the PE glue is used for both paper and plastic (Cones), and works fine on the metal frames, so I'd say yes... The adhesive I use is solvent based, and is the same used in the driver manufacturing industry. It isn't the white glue sold by the kits we see online, but an ethyl rubber cement.I use 3M 847 Rubber and Gasket Cement for foam surrounds. White glue takes too long to dry, is too brittle, and doesn't stick very well. The rubber cement tacks quickly enough to work the surround into the right position, is manueverable and adheres well to different substrates...and the frame. The key is to apply to one surface and work the surround into place.--> Is that the same adhesive you'd recommend for poly cones with rubber surrounds like in older Mission speakers? --> Yes....just make sure you clean both mating surfaces with acetone before applying the adhesive....and use the adhesive sparingly. I use a white glue that I get from a fellow re-coner in Portland for foam surrounds and DC's, I have a nitrocellulose based glue that I use for lead wires and epoxy for voice coils. You can use the white glue on poly/rubber IF there is a large surface contact area AND you rough up BOTH with some crokus cloth and then wipe them down with 99% alcohol.Also, the alcohol dissolves old foam without damage to anything else. I agree MSound sells great glue(s). His white type works good on paper and he sells a black type for poly cones. He also sells any kind of foam kit and dust cap you can imagine.WELDBOND is the way to go, unless you are gluing to polyproplene cones or rubber surrounds, and then the best thing I found to use is 3m Scotch-grip 4693 H Plastic adhesive!! Most white glues are water soluble, and Aleene's is one of the few that retains some elasticity. I have a sample I made tests with several years ago now and it's still flexible, (Elmer's was hard as a rock as soon as cured) so I suspect it will be as easy or easier to remove.Also the old foam surrounds lasted 10-15 years, the new ones should last a lot longer, as they fixed the formula so rot per se should not be the issue it is today. I have also used carpenters wood glue it sets up just like the glue they supply with the surrounds, looks the same too. Brand I found that works best is Tight Bound Wood glue it's yellow and dries somewhat flexible when it's put on in the thin layer we use on the surround replacement...Put it on let it setup a bit and it still allows you some adjustment time to get things centered just right!! The adhesive needs to be a Water Based Product. Solvent or Petroleum based glues may deteriorate the Surround material.
Tacky glue is one of the best all-purpose adhesives for crafting. The term 'tacky glue' refers to an adhesive that is usually a PVA-based white glue. Tacky glues are usually designed for crafting and are generally non-toxic. Tacky glue can be used to make many different projects.
Polyvinyl acetate (PVA) includes white glue (e.g. Elmer's Glue) and yellow carpenter's glue (Aliphatic resin) (Brands include Titebond and Lepage)
Most white glues are a suspension of polyvinyl acetate (PVA) resin in water...." vinyl acrylic"....these include "all-purpose" white glues like Elmer's Glue-All, Sobo, etc.......also tacky glues (thickened white glues), yellow "wood glue" (a faster setting, more waterproof refined white glue) , jewel-holding glues (GemTac, Jewel-It) ... sizing glues, etc...low grade craft and hobby PVA glues are fairly soft and workable when cured, can be cut with hand tools.......is reversible with water for 2 to 6 weeks after curing.. high grade industrial PVA glues cure hard.... not reversible with water after curingSobo (PVA) white glue differs from Elmer's in that it has the additional property of being heat resistant and UV resistant.Weldbond ("Universal Adhesive" ...it also comes as "Professional Wood Glue" and "Outdoor Wood Glue")......... "a PVA glue, but unlike other PVAs it does a great job on some non-porous materials such as glass, stone and concrete as well

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama, making a pointed appeal Thursday for "a spirit of civility" at the annual National Prayer Breakfast, called on Americans to debate the most important issues without demonizing opponents.
Civility, the president suggested, is not a sign of weakness.
"Surely you can question my policies without questioning my faith -- or, for that matter, my citizenship," he said to laughter for his allusion to the claims of some critics that the Hawaiian-born president is not a natural-born citizen.

Buble applauds fan on beating thief
Michael Buble has sent a special message to a fan who fought off a burglar who tried to steal her tickets to see the singer in concert.
Agnes Neish, 65, from Dundee put up a brave fight when an intruder at her home tried to take a handbag containing her Buble tickets.
According to the Evening Telegraph the Canadian crooner heard of her bravery and sent her a signed programme with a handwritten note saying: "Dear Agnes, I'm glad you kicked his butt."
She said: "I was crying with excitement when I saw it, I was just so happy... I still can't believe Michael Buble has heard my story. It's turned a scary experience into something very positive."
The fan had jammed the burglar in her front door as he tried to get away and although he escaped, police caught him and recovered her belongings, including the tickets, within hours.
At the time Agnes told the Daily Record: "My friend who I am going to see Michael Buble with wasn't worried about me - she was worried about the tickets."
