Gluten-Free in Bulgaria. No, really!
Posted on 08/05/2011 by SyntonicGarden
This entry is coming to you from the lovely city of Sophia, the capital of Bulgaria! It's absolutely beautiful. The people are wonderful, the culture is steeped in tradition, and the food is absolutely amazing! The highlight of my trips here always involve sampling the shopska salads at the local restaurants.
Unlike a typical salad, the basic shopska salad uses no lettuce. Instead, it begins with tomatoes, cucumbers, and cheese. It should be noted that if you're in Bulgaria, that cheese comes in two varieties as far as the menus for travelers are concerned: yellow cheese and white cheese. The yellow cheese is similar to muenster cheese and is more cream in color than the annatto yellow that most yellow cheeses come in. Yellow cheese also goes by the name "Kashkaval" but most menus in Bulgaria simply refer to it as yellow cheese for the ease of foreigners.
The white cheese, or "sirene" , as the Bulgarians call it, is actually very similar to feta cheese. You can find it in specialty cheese shops under the name "Bulgarian Feta." It has a stronger, tangier taste than regular Greek feta and is made of goats milk, which lends to its creamy texture. The white cheese is what adds the magic to the shopska salad.
(White cheese is also heavenly when melted over "Pareejehne kartofee" or "French Fries". The taste is similar to a calzone if you ask me. Pure heaven!) – Moderation of course is key if you're watching your weight.)
Each restaurant gives the shopska salad its own personality. The salads all start with a base of cucumbers & tomatoes chopped into bite size pieces. Then one or more of the following are added, depending on on the establishment: onions, roasted peppers, raw peppers, black olives, kalamata olives, & Italian parsley. The final touch, regardless of of what's stacked on top of the tomato and cucumber base, is a heavenly mound of shredded, snowy white Bulgarian feta, a kiss of vinegar, & a splash of a good olive oil.
You could add salt and pepper, but if you have the fortune of eating a shopska salad in Bulgaria, you'll find that the vegetables here are so flavorful, that the salt & pepper would probably just get lost in the sea of vegetable goodness.
So if you're in Bulgaria and want to find something that's safe to eat if you have a wheat sensitivity, the shopska salad is the way to go. The nice thing about this dish is that you can make it to liven up your normal routine in your own kitchen without having to travel to Bulgaria. It's a fast, simple dish, and is absolutely delicious.
Bon appétit!

Нова информация от 5 септември!
Момичето е видяло копието на нейната статия и ни е отговорила:
Dobar den, Kalin!
I was searching for one of my posts and stumbled across your page. I am the author of the "Gluten-Free in Bulgaria, No, really!" article and am flattered that you would include my work on your page! (Thanks for the credit too.) I travel to Bulgaria periodically for my job and am glad to see that there's an increasing awareness of gluten-sensitivities in one of my favorite countries. Love your page!
I've since changed the name of the original blog that had the pictures, so I updated the link that your page initially points to (myfitnesspal). I had started the blog, didn't think anyone would read it, changed the name, and then put it aside. Here's the link to the updated post, if you're curious about the pictures. The first salad is from Victoria and the second is from Coffee House.
The reason I'm writing is because I would love to learn more about traditional Bulgarian dishes that tend to be gluten-free. It's such a hard concept for me to even explain to people in English, that I don't even try to explain with my very limited knowledge of Bulgarian. When I tell people here, they ask me if I can eat Whole Wheat instead, because of the perception that it's healthier.
I also want to ask if you knew of any restaurants in the Sofia area that either had celiac-friendly menus or had traditional BG food that was naturally gluten-free. While I love my salads and my fries with cheese, I do like to try other foods as well. So far, the only place that I know that frequently has gluten-free dishes is "Sun Moon" (Sluneceluna) which is within walking distance of Vitosha. Sometimes they even have gluten-free desserts!
Mnogo blagodarya, again for sharing my post. I hope it helps others who may be visiting your wonderful country. I wouldn't want them to miss out on the amazing food. 🙂
I hope to hear from you soon!

The picture on the right is an old antique wall phone. Those were even before there was such a thing as 911. It was thinking about 911 that brought that old phone to mind.
When we think of 911, we have contact with the operator and the emergency service representative that shows up at our door. We realize how smoothly it normally works, but we never consider that there's a lot more behind it all.
There are the equipment manufacturers and their service people to install and repair the complex electronics that make it all happen. And, of course the operators and other staff manning the 911 center. Plus all the emergency services personnel. Even in a small rural locale, it's a large undertaking.
Because we know how well it works, we have no problem calling 911 when there's a need. And that old phone represents a contrast to that. The antique phone picture is creative commons licensed ( BY ) flickr photo by ajmexico: http://flickr.com/photos/ajmexico/7565309158/. The contrast is important in our lives and we'll discuss it right after the break.
When we look at that old phone, we realize it wasn't just dialing a number and being instantly connected. The handset holder was also the on/off switch. The caller would jiggle that to get the operator's attention. In smaller communities, everyone knew her by name. The caller would give her the number they wanted and she'd put the call through, using patch cords. If it was an emergency call, the operator might make the call for us, while we dealt with the emergency. And, in a small town, she might know where to find the doctor when he wasn't home or in his office. When I was a young boy, I visited a small farm town in Nova Scotia that still had those phones. My second summer there, they were replaced by a more modern phone system.
We've gone from a way of communicating that was slow and tedious to instant connection. We're used to being instantly in touch as if that were a natural thing and it's always been that way. We dial up landlords, doctors, friends, etc. without a thought about the process. And without any qualms. Yet, we tend to only sparingly use the most instantaneous form of communication of all ... prayer.
That was the contrast that hit me right between the eyes! Our prayer life can sometimes be like that old phone. It takes a bit to get the call placed, at least in our mental imaging. We can seem to think we still need that intermediary between us and "The Big Guy". And, like someone above us at work or in society, we're a little afraid to bother God.
Consider that God created prayer as the original, instant on, instant connect, always connecting communication system. God's like 911 in that. But, like the old time phone operators, He wants a little conversation, too. Not just emergency calls. And He wants us to be unafraid to come to Him. Unlike a boss, God doesn't have limitations on how many conversations or needs are sent His way. He doesn't need a secretary to screen His calls -- they're all important and He wants them all. God says so.
Matthew 11:28 (KJV) Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
John 7:37 (KJV) In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
Mark 10:14 (KJV) But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
Hebrews 4:16 (KJV) Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
James 5:13 (KJV) Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms.
1 Timothy 2:8 (KJV) I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.
Psalm 55:16-18 (KJV) As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall save me. Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice. He hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle that was against me: for there were many with me.
There's a whole lesson on prayer in Matthew 6:5-15.
James 4:3 (KJV) Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.
When we consider that we are God's children, we see an interesting picture. Children who understand a parent's affection for them are unafraid to go to that parent -- no matter whether it's a need, a desire for something, or just to share their day. We have to remember how much God loves us. That alone should make prayer a priority. James 4:3 isn't God rejecting the person or the prayer. It's God saying, "You ask for the wrong thing or for the wrong reasons, My answer will be different from what you requested."
I don't want to say too much on this. The Word does very well with directing our thoughts. So, I'm going to suggest meditating on the verses we've shared. What is God telling you about prayer, today?

Wireless is considered less of a luxury these days and more of an expectation. We expect it to work and to be relatively simple, despite the sheer complexity inherent to network devices and the variety of different environments we use them in, from crowded apartment buildings and old homes to concrete McMansions. Mesh routers are a step toward that goal, and Linksys is entering the fray with its new Velop modular mesh Wi-Fi system.
The Velop system can be configured as a one-, two- or three-node pack, with each device serving as a router, range extender, access point, and bridge simultaneously. The nodes each have six antennas inside broadcasting three Wi-Fi radios, which Linksys says will ensure that users get 100% of their speed right up to the edge of the router's signal. The hardware uses its three radios to find the best path across all the nodes to any client devices. Linksys says its system differs from its competitors since it doesn't use a "back haul" radio to handle inter-node communication.
The company also promises that configuring the Velop system is simple. Each node on the network should auto-configure itself to connect to the other nodes, and if one fails, the others will try to compensate. To further simplify things, users can use a Velop-specific app (available for both Android and iOS) that includes functionality for managing guest access and parental controls. Velop can be connected to Amazon's Alexa devices for voice-activated guest authorization, too. The system also offers automatic updating, which Linksys says can be turned off.
The one-, two-, and three-node packs will be available from retailers like Newegg starting on January 15 for suggested prices of $200, $350, and $500.

Serious complications are rare in influenza vaccine, still many people worry about the side effects. While some people believe they can get the flu from the vaccine shot, this is not always the case because most of the reactions are mild like redness, soreness, or swelling where the shot was given. However, these symptoms go away after one to two days.
Influenza vaccine shots contain inactive virus particles, and doctors believe that there is no possibility of contracting the infection from the shot, although there are rare hypersensitive reactions like hives, problems with breathing, wheezing, dizziness, pale skin, and rapid heartbeat. However, these reactions are only common to people who are allergic to eggs because the viruses used to make the vaccines are grown in chicken eggs.
Here, are some of the influenza vaccine myths your doctor may not be telling you:
Myth #1: No thimerosal (or Mercury) in flu vaccine
"Thimerosal-free" vaccine label has an asterisk in front of it, which explains that the product has a trace amount equivalent to thimerosal-free, according to CDC. However, if you look closer, the toxic amount of mercury is still evident. There are typically two kinds of flu shots, one containing 25 mcg of mercury given as a regular shot to those without special circumstances and the one labeled thimerosal-free, which contain three mcg given to pregnant women and young children.
The thimerosal-free in the flu vaccine is a fallacy because a full vaccine contains toxic amounts of mercury.
Myth #2: Influenza vaccine only contains 25mcg thimerosal.
Trial-and-error studies were conducted in expectant mothers and the effects of fish-contained mercury. According to the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, eating 8-12 ounces of low mercury fish a week is safe.
Tuna, cod, catfish, Pollock, salmon, crab, and shrimp are regarded as low mercury fish according to the FDA, with tuna containing the highest amount of mercury in this category. "FDA standard for mercury consumption among pregnant women is a maximum of 14 mcg per week and not the 25 mcg that floats around on message boards."
By injecting mercury in a vaccine, you are by-passing your inner filtration system and the mercury reaches your blood stream, which leads straight to the brain.
Myth #3: Influenza vaccine can guard against stomach flu.
People have the misconception that flu vaccine will guard them against "stomach flu," which is, in fact, not flu because stomach flu is gastroenteritis and cause by virus, and parasite. They have different symptoms and treatment.
Myth #4: Your body will be stronger and healthier if you get a flu.
Influenza A, Influenza B, and Influenza C, are the three classification of influenza people can get, each one having distinctive serotypes. CDC gathers that there are over 100 different influenza serotypes. If people are exposed to the influenza virus, the shots will protect them against three common viruses, even if they have weak immune system.
However, there are reports that many people contracted the flu after vaccination. This is because the immune system is weakened, and it will take about two weeks for the body to create the antibodies enough to protect it from the strain contained in the vaccine. When the body has weakened, it can easily get the flu virus of another kind.
Myth #5: Influenza Vaccine Saved Countless Lives
Influenza vaccine has been around since 1945, but it was before the 2003-2004 flu season that CDC recommended for the first that children as young, five years old and older than six months should receive an annual flu vaccine.
However, since DCD recommended that children, under five should receive flu vaccine, the number of children dying from the flu has increased by 67%. This is because they found out that children who have received the vaccine had three times the risk of hospitalization.
The CDC and WHO are assuming that the number of confirmed influenza cases, from the children who were tested for flu and those who were not, found that about half of the individuals died of pneumonia because they contracted flu.
Is influenza vaccine dangerous and ineffective?
During the flu months, adequate amounts of Vitamin D can prevent people from contracting influenza up to 100%, and it could minimize the symptoms if you catch it, according to Dr Mercola and University of Cambridge Medical Journals.
Studies also show that regular visits to a chiropractor during the flu scare may help ward off and fight against flu as evidenced during the Spanish influenza outbreak in 1918 where a mortality rate was very minimal.

Hi I'm Dewain C. Clark
After a life of atheism, agnosticism, and years of skeptical research, I was baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ.
About Me
I love to study theology and the history of world religions. I served the US Navy for over 7 years in positions ranging from Nuclear Electrician to boatswain to yeoman. I Have a BS degree in Nuclear Engineering Technology, and am currently working on my MA in Counseling Psychology. I was raised in a typical inactive Christian home, completely ignorant as to what being a Christian really about. I was taught that I believed in God, but never understood what that even meant. In my early teen years, I realized I was atheist, and that religion was all a scam. Through highschool and college I continued to research and study religion and its history. In time I grew out of atheism, and into agnosticism, and eventually back into Christianity... and here I am, a happily married, joyously active disciple of Jesus Christ!!!
Why I am a Mormon
When I first realized that God could communicate with me, I became happier. As I utilized that relationship more and more, and followed the wonderful guidance I received, I became joyous. When I was inspired to be baptized as Jesus was, and become one with the Saints, I obeyed... and my joy has not stopped growing since...
How I live my faith
I study the scriptures. I listen to the council of the living Prophet, and 12 Apostles. I gather good information and guidance from all sources, then I take it to my Heavenly Father in prayer to know what He would have me do... then I try with all my heart, might, mind, and strength to carry out His will...

With tKOVI teeing off in exactly 5 weeks, seems like a good time to check in with our defending champion to see how his prep is coming along. Take it away, White James.
As we close in on another chapter in the history of the greatest event ever created I have been asked to write a few words to recap the year that was and set the stage for TKO VI. This will be my third TKO and over the years I have had an up and down relationship with this event. From my complete meltdown in TKO IV to my Tiger-Woods-2000-US OPEN-like domination last year I have seen the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. As some of you may recall I was asked to write a little something last year prior to this event and took the opportunity to skewer some of my harshest critics. This year I would like to do something different. I am going to be positive.
In that spirit, I would like to first start by welcoming the new members to the TKO family, whatever your names are. So…welcome. I would next like to thank Brendan and the Mikes for all of their hard work to pull this event together. Also, I would like to acknowledge the fine work done by the TKONN (with the exception of their erroneous report of my steroid use). I know it has taken you many long weekends of sacrifice sitting around drinking Miller Lite and Jeremiah Weed away from your girlfriends, fiancées, and domestic partners to produce such fine work. As my wife says, don't these guys have anything better to do? To which I respond, what could be more important than this? After spending the night on the couch and watching the kids while she takes a break, things usually go back to normal. I look forward to the challenge posed by the race for the Bixler. I know you all are excited about the opportunity as well. I see the evidence in the inflated scores posted on FairwayFiles.com as you all try to blow up your handicap in an attempt to win this prestigious award (except Jeremy, I think his scores are probably legit).
These are exciting times for our TKO family as the main event tees off in roughly 30 days. Everyone is ramping up their preparation for the event. The commissioner's are developing the first round pairings and seeing to all of the last minute details. This probably means they are working on last minute ideas to surprise me with some additional rule meant to prevent me from winning by 16 strokes again this year. Their attempt to keep Danny in my group every time backfired as he motivated me to the win. And the TKONN is doing what the TKONN does best.
I would like to conclude now with a final image to motivate you all for the stretch run to Kendallville, especially Robinson, who I know needs a pick me up after spending the winter without the RDGC Cup for the first time in recent memory.
Keep working hard, best wishes, and I will see you all soon in the Paradise called Kendallville…
That was touching. Remember to keep entering in those scores. I see you with that 110, Marty. That's a bold move for the Bixler Blazer. Respect.

The Chevrolet Corvette Stingray and Silverado 1500 have been named finalists for the 2014 North American Car and Truck of the Year.
The 2014 awards will be announced on January 13th during a special press conference before the North American International Auto Show in Detroit.
Six finalists, three for Truck of the Year and three for Car of the Year, were narrowed down from a field of 11 cars and 12 trucks and utility vehicles.
In order to be eligible for the awards, a vehicle must be redesigned or significantly changed and be introduced during 2013.
Chevy's Year-Long Journey
It's quite appropriate that both of these vehicles have a serious shot at taking the award in Detroit.
Both the Corvette and the Silverado debuted in the city about a year ago. The Silverado was unveiled alongside its sibling, the GMC Sierra, at a special event held in late December last year, preempting the Detroit auto show, which is held in January.
The all-new Corvette was the darling of the 2013 show, stealing the majority of attention and winning the honor of "Best in Show" from the writers at Autoweek.
It seems perfectly natural that these vehicles are returning to where it all started in hopes of taking home the highly-regarded award.
About the North American Car/Truck of the Year Awards
As the North American Car of the Year panel says on their website, awards and accolades are not uncommon, especially in the automotive industry where every automotive news source seems to have their own awards, but this award is different.
What makes these awards significant is that the voting panel is broader and deeper than all other awards. Consisting of 50 automotive journalists, the panel represents all types of media, including newspapers, magazines, radio, television, and online sources.
Operating costs for this award are gathered through membership dues, with no outside funding influencing the award.

16 Week Anatomy Scan and the Big News!
Anyways, she went about measuring bits on the babies and they all weighed in at 6 ounces a piece...that is a pound and a half of babies! They were all pretty cooperative, but getting a look at baby A and baby B was difficult because they are at the very bottom and crammed up next to each other. Babies C and D are up top and lounging like little rock stars on chaise lounges...LOL! Baby C was working its jaw and looked like it was talking. We joked that it was telling A & B to quit fighting.
So onto the fun stuff. During her initial look, the U/S tech said baby A is a girl, baby B is a girl, baby C is definitely a boy, and baby D wasn't cooperating. So she did some measurements and went back around. This time, baby A was a boy, baby B is definitely a girl, baby C is still a boy, and baby D is definitely a boy. I have to admit, the thought of three boys scared the daylights out of me. She measured some more and went back to baby A because she was bugged by it. Baby A's butt was firmly planted down and we got a lot of foot shots, but she couldn't get a good enough view. Finally, she decided that baby A is probably a girl and went and got the Dr.
He took a look around and decided that baby A is a girl. So, we are 99% sure that we have 2 boys and 2 girls on the way! We are thrilled! It is especially cool because we both come from families of 5 kids, 2 girls and 3 boys, and that is what we will have as well!
So, I start every other week visits with the specialist now and am having every other week visits with the OB, so I will be seeing someone every week.
Now the planning and plotting begins! It feels so much more real now that we know what we are having and I am feeling more and more movement. This is a crazy ride, but I'm so glad we got chosen to ride it! :P

The pied piper of Neptune is back. He's recruited and coached against NBA talent, scouted Steph Curry and watched more game film and planned more sessions than just about any coach involved in Irish sport. Now, after three decades in the all-consuming 'rabbit hole' that's NCAA basketball, Pete Strickland is back where his coaching career began, in Ireland, masterminding the revived national senior team programme.
BEFORE any of the others — his namesake Terry, or Jasper, or Lennie, Kelvin, Jerome, or Ed — there was Pete.
He was the first great pied piper of Irish basketball, arriving here in the autumn of 1980 and soon mesmerising the chain of local kids that followed him around the hills of the northside of Cork, only too glad to show him from his flat in Patrick's Hill through Shandon to the Parochial Hall in Gurranabraher, so they could catch some of the American accent, charisma and showmanship.
His ball-handling was so masterful, he'd take song requests; the kids would name a song and he'd pound out its beats on the pavement with a ball in each hand and a great smile across his face.
Every day he'd have a new drill for them to try, like wrapping the ball around the waist in one continuous motion as quick as possible, or make the figure of eight through the legs. Almost every kid in Ireland who has picked up a basketball sometime the last three decades is au fait with those drills but Pete Strickland would have been the first to bring them to these shores. He was the original hoops pilgrim, the great evangelist, spreading the word and love of a game about to catch fire in that city.
Everyone who encountered Neptune's young American player-coach that year would be won over by his vibrancy and geniality, even the initially sceptical.
One morning Strickland was walking down an off-street when he got the smell of bread. He followed it into this little bakery and informed the man behind the counter he'd love if he could bake for him.
The man shook his head. He couldn't afford to take anyone else on.
"I said nothing about money," smiled Strickland. The man looked him up and down, then shrugged. "Fine. Tomorrow morning, half-five."
The baker never expected Pete Strickland to show up that morning. But he did. By the end of the week Tim's view of the Yank had altered — instead of some kind of drifter, he was obviously some kind of zealot — but his suspicion of his new assistant remained. What would possess a stranger to start work at 5.30 every morning without taking a penny? It could only be one thing. This Yank knew the baker was partial to the odd spliff. This Yank was working for someone like the CIA.
In time the baker would soon come to appreciate this Yank didn't work for any agency or money. Pete Strickland just wanted to bake for its own sake, because the experience would be "kinda neat".
Another time Strickland ventured just off Cork's commercial boulevard, the South Mall, to the small theatre, Father Matthew Hall, to audition for a play. Zigger Zagger might have been about English soccer hooliganism but Strickland had majored in speech and theatre at the University of Pittsburgh as well as breaking their all-time assists record. Naturally, he landed a part as the producers tweaked the script to accommodate the character of a charismatic American preacher man.
Bill Murray on his last Groundhog Day in Punxsutawney? That was Pete Strickland every day in Cork, 1980-81.
Now, all these years later, Cork and Irish basketball is falling back in love with Pete Strickland all over again. Last November he was appointed head coach to the revived senior national team programme.
He's still based in the States, living in Capitol Hill of all places, but he'll be over and back to Ireland and wherever the national team will be playing over the next couple of years.
At the end of January he was over for the Cup finals. As well as spending time in Dublin and Galway, he naturally paid a visit to Cork where he coached the local youth internationals and caught up with some old familiar, friendly faces.
Like Liam McGinn, the former Neptune chairman who first collected him at Shannon Airport all those years ago. Francis O'Sullivan, who was on that first national league team that he coached over here and alerted him last winter about the national team coaching vacancy. And Paul 'Spider' Keohane who has a shock of white hair now but still enough of the child within him to light up at the memory of when he'd lead the gang that used to follow a 23-year-old Strickland around town, craving to see his latest trick and drill.
One night during his visit to Cork, the Ambassador Hotel hosted a Q&A session with Strickland at which coaches from other sports were in attendance. It's something that should be replicated elsewhere because in a way it would be a shame if a coach of Strickland's experience and expertise was just to be confined to Irish basketball instead of the wider Irish coaching community enjoying the benefit of his insights.
Here's someone who played in De Mattha, Washington DC, the number one high school basketball programme in all of America. Every day for four years he was coached by Morgan Wootten and then, after his stint with Neptune, would return and serve as an assistant at DeMatha for another four years under Wootten.
You might never have heard of Wootten but you've heard of John Wooden; there's hardly a coaching conference in any sport in this country that doesn't quote the wisdom of the Wizard of Westwood who'd coach UCLA to an astonishing 11 NCAA titles. Well, Wootten was Wooden's guru. "I know of no finer coach at any level — high school, college or pro," Wooden would once say. "I stand in awe of him."
At DeMatha Strickland would be indoctrinated in a philosophy for life, not just basketball. Long before terms like "culture" and "process" were trendy, Wootten lived by them. He especially understood the power of words. "What you say to your players can determine how good their dinner will taste and how well they sleep that night," he'd write in Coaching Basketball Successfully, considered one of the sport's bibles.
"An incidental cutting remark which you forgot as soon as you said it can be a source of pain longer than you may ever know."
It's because of such precise attention to detail that no other high school in America has produced more NCAA coaches as well as more Olympians or NBA players.
Mike Brey, a classmate and close friend of Strickland's, has coached Notre Dame the past 17 years. Strickland himself coached at the college level for over 25 years, either as a head coach with the likes of Coastal Carolina, or as an assistant in numerous other Division 1 schools like NC State.
You think of the detail and history that goes with college basketball coaching, the clamour and competition for jobs with a Division One programme. Professional soccer may have that depth of competition but not that history of detail.
Professional rugby might now have that detail but not that history or depth. College basketball is coaching in both its purest and most exacting form and that is the world that the new coach of the Irish national basketball team has inhabited for most of the last 25 years.
"You're in a rabbit hole when you're a college basketball coach," he says. "I mean, it's a completely public job. After a game you're getting a meal. 'Hey, we're going to Jimmy's Bar and Grill; you guys coming?' And the next morning you're watching film at 7.30, back in the rabbit hole getting ready for the next game. It's so limiting. It's why a couple of years ago, I stepped out for good."
The madness wasn't restricted to March. Every July he'd be on the road, recruiting. "That was the one thing I didn't like, being away from my kids for a whole month when they were young.
"'See you guys, big kiss, remember Daddy. Here's Daddy's picture.' That was hard. But otherwise, I loved recruiting. Loved it."
The recruiting process is one of the most fundamental, criticised and grey areas in American sport where, depending on who you listen to, middle-aged men either sell their programmes or their souls to get some 17, 18 year-old kid to join their team. Strickland has seen and can quote Blue Chips, the film starring Nick Nolte who at one point claps and sings along in a black church to try to woo Shaquille O'Neal to his programme; then, the next day comically professes to be another religion to suitably impress the family of a rural white dead-eyed shooter. All, the Nolte character confesses at the end, because this kid "holds our future employment in his hands".
It doesn't have to be that way though, Strickland maintains. You don't have to be that way.
"I think you have to be genuine. I mean, take me — buck teeth, bald head, urban recruiting. Didn't matter. If you're yourself, it works."
First rule: Always recruit the kid — not the parents — first.
"Always. Non-negotiable. Most good parents are going to let the kid make his decision. It's his first big decision. The next one is who he marries. But the first big one is where he goes to school. So, you can't forget to recruit the player.
"At the same time you do want to figure out which parent is more influential. Early in my career, I thought that was the parent who spoke the most, the one who'd grab the phone when you called. 'Let me talk to you, Coach...' But I'd come to learn that it was usually the parent who didn't speak the most was the bigger influencer. They were the ones taking everything in."
Over the years he'd see a shift in the dynamics and demographics. Less nuclear families, more uncles. "There were times I recruited the wrong uncle. If he even was a real uncle." But again, he'd adapt.
"I'm pretty garrulous but you have to be quiet. Listen and watch and you'll get all the information you need. Eighteen-year-old kids, especially when you're meeting them at first, are going to be monosyllabic. But then you'll spot they've got LeBrons on and might say, 'Hey, the Cavaliers lost last night. You see that?' 'How you know I root for the Cavs, Coach?!' 'Nice shoes!' You just have to take things in. Wait and listen.
"The more you get to know them, the more trust you build."
The same applied when he'd get his recruits on the floor: watch what they're giving you. "I hate coaches who say, 'Tonight I'm going to rip into them!' Wait and see what you see! They could be ready to give you the best practice they've ever given you. And you're going in with the blinkers on because you're pissed about something else?"
He's mixed and competed with the best. For five years he was an assistant coach to Sidney Lowe at NC State, the same school the legendary late Jim Valvano inspired to a national championship in 1983. Duke University, home to Mike 'Coach K' Krzyzewski, is only 13 miles away; North Carolina, the house that Dean Smith built and Michael Jordan rocked, just 12. Last year John Feinstein wrote a book on the rivalry between the three colleges and coaches, though Strickland, who regularly lunches in DC with the famous sportswriter, "thought it was only okay – I give John a hard time about it!"
In that part of the world, you're up against powerhouses, giants, geniuses.
"Duke won the national title the year we beat them. We were the last team to beat them. Sidney is really good at halfcourt offence, encyclopaedic, because he's a pro [NBA] guy, it's all half-court sets. So we're running this high ball screen for this kid called Brandon Costner. And Duke always, always, hedge on the ball screen and don't really rotate; they just expect the guy who hedges to go back and get his man. So Sidney turns to me. 'Is he [Coach K] going to keep doing that?'
"The short answer is the one I gave him. 'Yes.' But the long answer is, 'You mean the guy who has won three national championships just doing it one way? Is he going to change? For you? No.'
"Brandon Costner finished with 32 points that night and Sidney would finish 2-4 against them in his time, which is pretty good; they were better. Because he [Coach K] just doesn't change. That was one of the most fascinating things I ever saw."
Almost everyone else has to make adjustments. Especially when you come up against a talent like Steph Curry. Ask Strickland who was one player who made him go 'Wow!' in all his time in college basketball and he'll point to the guard from nearby Davidson College.
"One season [2008] we were in the NIT [National Invitational Tournament], we didn't make the NCAA tournament, but our building was hosting the regionals. Mark Few [coach of Gonzaga, currently ranked fourth in the country] was there after they'd practised so we got talking.
'Hey, Mark.'
'Hey, Pete.'
'All the best tomorrow.'
'Thanks, Coach.'
"They were playing Davidson the next day. 'Don't forget,' I said, 'Curry's 0 and 1 in this building this year!' We'd beaten them a few months earlier.
"And Mark goes, 'Yeah, I must use that! By the way, what do you think?'
"Now, you won't come across many veteran coaches use this term much but I said, 'Mark, you know this, but Curry is special. I mean, he's really special!'
"He said, 'Yeah, he's something else, but what about the big kid, [Will] Archambault? I mean, he screens and slips...'
"I said, 'Yeah, he will, but Mark, I'm telling you, Curry is something special – he'd be a guy that I think you've gotta do something different against.'
"Next day, Curry got 40. The Archambault kid got two points on the slip. Gonzaga loses. I felt like calling Mark. 'Yeah, you stopped Archambault. Big freakin' deal! Told you Curry's special!'"
But hey, they've all been there, especially Strickland. He does a lot of corporate speaking these days. About what did work and what didn't work in over 30 years coaching and he's noticed which his clients tend to have a preference for.
"They kind of like hearing more about what didn't work," he grins. "It's more colourful!"
One of the great things about being back living in DC is he gets to spend a lot of time with his old mentor Morgan Wootten.
Morgan's 85 now, but "still mentally as sharp as a tack," vouches his disciple.
Recently Strickland brought Morgan and their wives to see Mike Brey's Notre Dame go up against Coach K's Duke.
"It was a great game. Went to overtime. So for the jump ball in overtime, Notre Dame get the tip, go down and are fouled going for a layup. I lean over to Morgan, 'It's amazing; Duke giving up a layup on the jump?' And then I quoted one of his diktats. 'Hey, Morgan, point guard at the top of the key on a jump ball?' And Morgan, sharp as a tack, says all deadpan, 'Page 21!"
Even after stepping out of the rabbit hole for good in 2013 to watch the last couple of years of one of his son's college career, he still has to get his fix of hoops. He still goes to games. He co-commentates for ESPN3 on some local college games.
This Irish team job now is another way of coaching the game without it consuming him.
He'll be back over here next month for provisional squad tryouts, then over the summer the team will play in two international tournaments, all with the view to preparing for the 2018 Small Countries Championship in San Marino.
There'll be plenty of other times to expand on how he'll go about that job, only to say for now that his goals for the team are as follows.
"That the team becomes important to the people who play the game here. That the team is the best team on the island of Ireland. That the team plays the way you want a basketball team to play. And that we win."
Watch them all follow the great pied piper once more.

Rumors that members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints still practice polygamy are not true
June 15, 2008
A study commissioned by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints in 1994, revealed misconceptions the public has about the Church. Topping the list was the assertion that "many people" still believe the LDS Mainstream Church practices polygamy. ( I see that here in Missouri- my first thought? Oh MY GOSH people, get out of the dark ages and get correct information!)
In 2008, we see these issues are still at the forefront of the national discussion on Mormonism in the United States . Romney has suspended his campaign and that might quiet the discussion for a while, but the effects of the spotlight on our faith will have a lasting affect for some time.
Of the top issues being raised, members and church leaders comfortably address the polygamy issue with correct information. The practice has been discontinued for more than 100 years, and no member of the Church practices polygamy. It's an old issue, not a current practice, and so not relevant to Latter-day Saints. Likewise, questions about whether Mormons are Christian are also addressed with information.
I would like to add- no member of the "Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints practces polygamy". If they are found in violation of this law they are excommunicated from the church.
What people who have been excommunicated choose to do (offshoots that "call" themselves Mormons- like the sect living in Texas that is in the news) have nothing to do with the Main LDS church and should never be grouped as such.
I saddens me to see people still live in ignorance and believe lies they "hear" instead of finding out the truth or assuming they do know just because someone calls themself a Mormon doesnt mean they are living by the laws of the TRUE church.
For those of you emailing me calling me a liar and accusing me of all kinds of things- Let me ask you-: ARE YOU a member of my church? Do YOU really know our laws and do you have the right to chastise me about what I do know to be true or are you only going by what you see or someone has told you? what proof do you have to offer that your facts are right?
Please refrain until you have correct info about the people you are telling me about. I KNOW for a fact that mainstream members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints are not "allowed" by the church or by governmental laws to practice polygamy. They are excommunicated- that is why there are so many off shoots and sects "calling" themselves Mormons but are NOT members of the main church.

Having a paved driveway is better for most homeowners than a dirt or gravel driveway. A driveway that has been paved with asphalt is less likely to damage cars with flying rocks or to leave a vehicle dirty or muddy.
Start the driveway paving project by spreading a layer of gravel on the driveway. Use markers to mark where the boundaries of the driveway will be. Contact a gravel service to dump the gravel on the area. Spread the gravel until it is at least 2 inches thick but no deeper than 8 inches.
Find a source for an asphalt mixture. Use an asphalt service if necessary, or mix the asphalt yourself if you have the equipment necessary. Take the asphalt mixture and the melted liquid cement and mix them together, being extremely careful of the heat from the liquid cement.
Spread the asphalt evenly across the driveway area. Use an asphalt spreader or whatever tool you have handy to make the asphalt lie smoothly.
Have a supply of crushed gravel available as soon as the asphalt is spread. Use a gravel spreader to scatter the gravel on top of the asphalt while it is still warm. Use a drum roller to roll over this gravel layer to push it down into the asphalt for a chip seal that will make the driveway more impervious to the elements and to constant use.
Let the asphalt dry, and avoid driving on the paved area for at least a day as the asphalt cools and cures.

"Mankind are so much the same, in all times and places, that history informs us of nothing new or strange in this particular. Its chief use is only to discover the constant and universal principles of human nature." -David Hume, 1777
"…we need to discern patterns in the past, so we can know what to generalize to the predicaments of the present." -Steven Pinker, 2011
1. Past experience is the primary indicator of future outcomes.
This is the basic premise of Bayes' theorem of statistical probability, perhaps the foremost theorem in the field if statistics.
2. Major historical cultures, dynasties, and civilizations have followed a general pattern of growth, flowering, and decline throughout history.
Examples include two thousand years of Chinese imperial dynasties and every other former empire that has existed on the face of the Earth.
3. Humans manifest an instinct to exercise power over others.
Examples include the Babylonians, Persians, Athenians, and Romans of ancient times; the Aztec, Inca, Spanish, French, Dutch, and British empires of more recent times; and individuals including Ashoka, Qin Shi Huang Di, Alexander the Great, Genghis Khan, Hernán Cortés, Napoleon, and Hitler.
4. Humans exhibit a propensity to fear, dislike, kill, subjugate, and discriminate against people from groups different than their own.
Examples from history include genocides, slavery, India's Caste system, South Africa's apartheid system, America's Jim Crow laws, and the examples cited in Item 3 above.
5. Humans manifest an instinct to resist external control.
Examples include Cleopatra in 31 BC, Jews in 66 AD, Joan of Arc in 1428, American colonists in 1776, Toussaint Louverture in 1791, Native Americans at the Little Big Horn River in 1876, Zulus at Mome Gorge, Natal in 1906, Mahatma Gandhi in the first half of the twentieth century, and the Vietnamese people for the past thousand years.
6. Humans tend to position themselves along a political spectrum that ranges from conservative to liberal.
Examples include Akhenaten's attempt to replace the polytheistic religion of ancient Egypt with worship of a single god, the contrasting political systems of ancient Athens and Sparta, the French Revolution of the 18th Century, the U.S. Civil War of the 19th Century, and the present polarized condition of American politics and government.
7. Significant undertakings such as government actions tend to produce unintended consequences.
Examples include the 15th Century Ming Dynasty's decision to dismantle the oceangoing fleet of Admiral Zheng He, which left ocean exploration to the Europeans, who sent Columbus on a mission to the spice-growing lands of Asia, which stumbled across America instead, which forever changed the world as humans know it. And the 2003 U.S. government decision to overthrow the government of Iraq, an operation predicted to be "a slam dunk," now in its fourteenth year, that produced many American casualties, trillions of dollars in U.S. war debt, a brutal civil war between Sunnis and Shias, and the rise of the Islamic State (or ISIS).
The Question:
Are students more likely to understand, retain, and benefit from historical knowledge if individual historical events such as those listed above are learned in meaningless isolation or if they are learned in the context of general principles that describe how the world works—principles that may be applied in the future to inform judgment in human affairs?
Additional examples of general principles of history:
8. Humans exhibit a propensity for violence and aggression.
9. Humans go to war out of honor, fear, and interest (Thucydides).
10. Powerful nations tend to prey on weaker nations.
11. Leaders try to get their way by appealing to the emotions of their followers.
12. Leaders tend to justify foreign attacks by claiming to be helping the people they attack.
13. Many or most military invasions of distant lands fail over the long term.
14. Major historical events usually result from multiple causes, some long term and some more immediate.
15. Increases in group security tend to require decreases in individual freedom, and vice versa.
16. Governmental actions tend to have winners and losers.
17. Complex modern economies tend to be inherently unstable.
18. People tend to promote their self-interest or the interest of their group, which causes their arguments to be biased.
19. Biased sources are all around us, so you can't trust everything that you read or hear.
20. A good way to approach the truth is to seek corroborating evidence from multiple sources.
General principles of historical knowledge are not hard and fast rules that always apply in the same way to similar situations. Rather, they are tendencies that humans would be wise to respect like the tendency of cigarettes to cause lung cancer or the tendency of a child to be struck by a car if she dashes into a busy street without looking both ways. History's general principles can likewise make us smarter when dealing with important matters encountered in life, including those with the potential to involve large-scale death and destruction.

Seventy lecturers of UNIMAID have resigned from the institution over incessant Boko Haram attacks
Boko Haram insurgents have killed many lives and rendered many people homeless in the last two years
The chairman, UNIMAID chapter of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, Dr. Dani Mamman said that while five lecturers were killed, three were held by the insurgents during the recent attacks
No fewer than 70 lecturers have resigned from the University of Maiduguri since the outbreak of Boko Haram insurgency in the North- East, Punch newspaper has learnt.
Also, while five lecturers have been killed, three were said to have been held by the insurgents during the recent attack on oil workers.
ExamsNG gathered that the chairman, UNIMAID chapter of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, Dr. Dani Mamman, who said this in an interview with Sunday Punch, called on the Federal Government and the university authorities to put in place adequate security.
Mamman said although closing down the university was the initial thought; it was resisted by the management.
ASUU added that as a union, it believed that if its demands made to the Federal Government were fulfilled, the idea of closure would not be an option.
Mamman said: "About 70 lecturers left, about five died and three are held hostage by Boko Haram. The admission figure of students has been dropping since insurgency started in 2012. We don't know what will happen to the admission of students this year."The exit of some lecturers has affected research and learning because some are specialists in their fields. Usually, such exodus affects accreditation of some programmes and courses."

A warm cup of tea is welcome at any time of year, especially in the colder months. Start the year off by cozying up to a favorite cup (or pot) full of your favorite tea; January is National Hot Tea Month.
However you sip it, Hot Tea Month is a great time to celebrate the deliciousness of a warm cup of tea. We've come up with 10 ways to help you celebrate; you can never have enough of this tasty beverage!
1. Try something new
There are over 100 blends of tea to try, we bet you haven't tried them all! Are you usually a green tea person? Branch out and try a white tea or a rooibos tea. Rooibos teas are distinctly South African and have a deliciously sweet flavor. They are naturally caffeine-free and filled with antioxidants. Try one like Amaretto (2021) or Strawberries and Cream (2361) after a hearty meal to wind down your day!
2. Cook with tea
Tea is so versatile and has many different uses, including cooking. Use tea as the base of a soup, mix it in cake or muffin mix, or sprinkle matcha in your smoothie or morning yogurt. Try a new recipe like Vegetable Rice Turmeric Soup or Earl Grey Waffles. You never know what you'll discover!
3. Blend It
Have two teas that you love? Try blending them together for something new. Simply add both to an infuser and steep! This could be your next favorite; give it a name for fun. 😉
4. Take Tea Notes
Just like a wine sommelier, you can begin your own tasting notebook or blog. Take notes to refer to. Write down the tea type, smell, appearance and taste. Discover your personal tastes and share your learnings with friends and family. You never know, you could become the next tea expert!
5. Share it
What better way to celebrate than to share a cuppa tea with friends, family, neighbours or colleagues. Simply invite them over or buy a bag of tea, write a note and leave it for them in a special place. They'll thank you later.
6. Host a ParTea
Take sharing one step further and have your gal and guy friends over for a night of fun and tea. You can sample three or four teas and learn more about Steeped Tea. Book your ParTea date, send the invite, and have fun while earning Host rewards! What are you waiting for?
7. Gift it
Is there a special occasion coming up? A birthday, Valentine's, or a 'just because'? Pick out a Collection of Tea or even purchase a Tea-zer subscription for the special someone! Every tea lover would love more tea to help celebrate their day and Hot Tea Month!
8. Take a moment
The New Year is a time to reflection and renewal. What better way to start the year than with a warm cup of tea? Cuddle up with an energizing black tea or a soothing herbal tea and write down your goals for the year or read a new book while you sip away Hot Tea Month.
9. Start a tea club
A group of friends who are also tea enthusiasts might as well form a club! Get together monthly, sample new teas at a ParTea, and discuss which ones you loved and which ones you'll try next. Share your tasting notes at the monthly club!
10. Experiment
Warm cups of tea don't stop at Hot Tea Month in January. Carry these new traditions all year through and experiment with other ways to serve it too! Try a sangria recipe at your next party or tea club meeting. Here's our 3-step, fool proof Sangria recipe that never fails:
1. Strongly brew your favorite tea. Citrus Mint Sangria (3291) is our top choice!
2. Add a splash of fruit juice and a splash of wine (optional).
3. Add sliced fruit or berries, mint leaves and ice. Stir and serve!
How are you sharing tea this month and celebrating Hot Tea Month? Share your tea photos using #lovinmysteeped or tell us on our Facebook Page. Happy Hot Tea Month!

"Troubled Relationships"
Contributed by Dennis Deese on Aug 15, 2002 (message contributor)
Summary: There are many people who spend a great deal of their time and life tearing down relationships rather than building them. This may be without consideration of the results of their actions; however, there are serious consequences
Dr. Dennis Deese
I Samuel 18:5-30, 18:29*
ETS: David & Saul had a troubled relationship.
ESS: Most, if not all of us, have experienced some troubled relationship.
There are many people who spend a great deal of their time and life tearing down relationships rather than building them. This may be without consideration of the results of their actions; however, there are serious consequences.
1. What provokes troubled relationships?
2. What is produced by troubled relationships?
3. What prevents troubled relationships?
I. Their PROVOCATION (what incites or stimulates troubled relations?)
Six things that are detrimental to relationships:
A. Jealousy (18:5, 8-9) Why? insecurity "the Kingdom?"
"jealousy is cruel as the grave" Song of Solomon 8:6
Why was he insecure and jealous? I Samuel 16:14
B. Selfishness (18:8) head strong determination
C. Repugnant attitude (18:10) (Offensive, rude & obnoxious)
D. Dupes (18:22-23) (those who are gullible - a person who easily or unwittingly serves the cause of another person.)
E. Gossips (18:24) Troublemakers
A perverse (froward) man soweth strife, and a whisperer separateth chief friends" Prov. 16:28
"Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out; so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth." Prov. 26:20
F. Insubordination (lack of respect for authority or another's position)
1. To God's commands (Eph. 5:21) when there is a legitimate difference and the problem(s) are not resolved by either party.
Paul & Barnabas (Acts 15:36-40, II Tim. 4:11, Eph. 4:3
If it be possible, "As much as is within you live peaceably with all men"
2. to person's position (Romans 12:10, I Sam. 24:6
Troubled Relationships Pg. 2 (Sermon #2)
II. Their PRODUCTION
the worst case scenario is domestic violence
A. Broken Fellowship (his father-in-law) destroying something whole -that which could be.
1. with God (Matt. 5:21-24
2. with others - its contagious, for reaching results
B. Burden Hearts (20:1, 3 - Prov. 26:20-22)
C. Bitter Spirits (Prov. 18:19, Heb. 12:14-15, I Sam. 18:29, 23:14,-
22:12-19) (priests killed) (31:4) suicide eventually.
(19:1, 19:10, 11, 15) to kill David - chasing fleas (24:12-14)
It controlled his life.
D. Blind Hypocrisy (20:25) ff

Product Details
More about Varnadoe's Phlox Pink...
Varnadoe's Phlox Pink Rhododendron is a time tested, heat and humidity tolerant native azalea perfect for southern gardens. In spring, it produces full trusses of large, bright to light pink, fragrant, honeysuckle-shaped flowers that light up and fill the shade garden with a wonderful, spicy aroma. An exceptional variety of the "Piedmont Azalea" that starts blooming at a very young age.
Varnadoe's Phlox Pink Rhododendron is very easy to grow. It prefers well-drained, moist, humus rich soil and dappled shade or morning sun with afternoon shade. Once established it is quite drought tolerant, requiring supplemental water only during prolonged periods of dry summer weather.
Varnadoe's Phlox Pink is perfect for use as a large shrub or small, understory tree in woodland borders or other areas of the landscape that provide dappled shade or morning sun with afternoon shade. Use it as a specimen or plant several in a cluster.
Care Instructions for Native Azaleas
Native Azaleas are low maintenance shrubs that require little attention once they are established.
Soil - Native azaleas prefer an acid (4.5 to 5.5), well-drained, moist but not wet, soil rich in organic matter, such as natural leaf mold, mushroom compost, composted cowe manure, or your own homemade compost. All day dappled shade or morning sun with afternoon shade is preferable. As the plant is establishing itself during the first year after planting make sure to provide water during times of summer drought.
Fertilizer - Fertilize plants just after they've bloomed with an azalea and camellia type fertilizer or an organic plant food. Mulching with a two-inch layer of aged shredded wood mulch or fresh-pine straw will help retain moisture during the warm season and will also decompose into rich organic matter that will feed the plant.
Pruning - Native azaleas do not rquire pruning however respond well to it. If you need to shape the plant up a little trim or prune right after they are finished blooming. Native Azaleas need a moist, but not wet, soil rich in organic matter ( leaf mold, rotted sawdust, compost or peat moss are examples).A shifting sun and shade situation as under pines is ideal for their light requirements.ulch to conserve moisture with any organic material such as peanut hulls, pine bark or straw, etc.
Problems - Native Azaleas are generally free of insect and disease problems.

Case Study: Social responsibility
Project: E=MC2 Public Relations was asked by a leading school catering company to create a national and local media campaign which would maximise awareness of its healthy eating activities and campaign to get kids cooking by putting the fun back into food.
Action: E=MC2 Public Relations identified the company's On Your Marks … Get Set, Cook! – a live cookery competition designed to get cooking into the classroom by testing the culinary skills of students – as an activity which would generate significant press interest.
With virtually no photography budget, E=MC2 had to get the media to come down and cover the competition. This was achieved by individually contacting local and national journalists for informal briefings. These were followed with editor's diary notes which would be sent out in advance of each event to invite press to attend.
In addition to coverage in local and regional newspapers, E=MC2 Public Relations also arranged a number of local radio interviews for the company's catering managers or development chefs with either local BBC and independent radio stations.
Result: From late 2005 to 2007, E=MC2 Public Relations successfully generated media coverage for approximately 170 On Your Marks … Get Set, Cook! events – 81 per cent of the total number of events for which PR was progressed. The media campaign significantly helped the company in its drive to differentiate itself from other school meals providers and demonstrate to schools and the public, its commitment to educating kids about healthy eating.

Opium wheels are designed specifically for downhill or racing. In these disciplines, riders rely on solid equipment to shave milliseconds off their times and ensure durability.
These are similar to the rest of the Crank Brothers range in that they use the same 24-spoke pattern, along with the extruded ribs that run around the inner circumferences of the wheels and upside-down spoke systems. This means there are no holes drilled in the rims themselves, making them perfect for a tubeless set-up.
More importantly, the Opiums are stronger thanks to their uninterrupted design. In order to handle the higher stresses and wider tyres of downhill riding, they use 24mm rims and bolt-through hubs on both the front and rear, maximising stiffness.
With the rear wheel weighing 1,585g with disc rotor and cassette and the front 1,178g with disc rotor, they may not be quite as light as a set of Mavic Deemax wheels, but they're not far off.
When it comes to performance, the improvement from the standard design is instantly noticeable. These wheels are seriously stiff and massively strong. There's barely any flex at all, even when we hit turns hard. It actually takes some time to get used to.
Slamming into choppy, flat turns and hitting rough, cambered sections fast, it's soon apparent that the Opiums aren't going to give at all. That means there's a touch more feedback, a feeling comparable to running a fork with a stiffer chassis.
The biggest thing we notice is how the Opiums feel when we're riding flat-out over rough ground and hitting turns fast. The additional stiffness is staggering, enabling us to pinball through sections and pop out of turns with masses of confidence and speed.
We have had some concerns about the freehub, a common problem with Crank wheels that's set to be amended with a new design. There's the occasional nasty noise under power, and we'd like a more solid seal; the cassette and freehub can pull out from the hub if dropped when out of the frame.
We've used the Opiums up and down the country, smashing out as many runs as possible in as many different conditions, but they've stayed straight and true the entire time.

Local auto repair vs. dealer pricing
What is the difference between bringing your car or truck back to the dealer versus bringing your car or truck to Paradise Auto and Truck Center? They both provide complete auto and truck service. They both provide a warranty on all their replacement parts. Both are very nice and friendly, so what's the real difference? Time and Money! If you value time and money, then Paradise Auto & Truck Center is your automotive repair shop. Their fast friendly service is what they are known for. They are Napa Auto Parts certified, which means Charlie has the option of going with a high quality OEM part from Napa auto parts or he has the option of going with a part manufactured by your car or truck manufacturer.
So what is an OEM part anyways? Good question! OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacture. Here is a perfect example of an everyday situation… A customer drives in and needs brakes and an alignment for a 2010 Toyota® Camry. If you bring your car into Toyota®, they will probably replace the brakes with Toyota® brakes and give your car an alignment. When you bring your car into Charlie at Paradise Auto & Truck Center, we have the ability to get Toyota® brakes from Toyota® or a quality part from Napa Auto Parts, which may be cheaper than going to the dealer.
