Despite losing more than half of its per barrel value, it looks like WTI crude oil has regained its West Texas swagger, at least in relation to its more worldly brand of crude oil, Brent.
Both grades of crude oil have plunged in price, due to a number of factors, including a mostly unprecedented game of chicken by OPEC's Gulf-producing contingent. But the price of WTI crude oil has begun trading above the price Brent for first time since 2013, today. (Click here for a recap of Tuesday's crude action.)
The reasons for this are several, but this easiest way to reconcile the flip in relative value is to remember that all commodities, like politics, are local, to paraphrase the famous remark of the late House of Representatives Speaker, Tip O'Neil.
Read MoreWhere to find opportunities in energy slump: Pros
WTI had traded to a fairly steep discount to Brent crude over the past several years mostly due to capacity constraints that trapped oil in the middle of the country and at the Cushing, Okla. delivery point for the NYMEX futures contract, which resulted in stored oil volumes nearing capacity, resulting in a glut in that key market.
At the same time, the surge in demand from China, in particular, sanctions on Iran's oil exports, and faltering Iraq production combined to make international supplies of oil tight.
During the course of 2014, two major pipeline projects were completed that effectively liberated WTI oil from Cushing and Louisiana. The Seaway pipeline that used to carry oil from the Gulf Coast to Cushing was reversed, and a pipeline to Houston from Louisiana was also put in service.
The rise is in rail shipments to both the East and West Coasts served to further relieve the oversupply in the Midwest.
Read MoreBlame the US for oil's dive, not OPEC: Pickens
The U.S. has also increased the amount of allowable exports of super lightweight crude oil, as well, and there is a request from Mexico to allow U.S. crude to be sent there to mix with its heavy-crude oil to make it more marketable in this over supplied global market.
U.S. refiners have been a source of strong domestic demand throughout the recent price slide, running well above 90 percent, making record amounts of gasoline for both domestic consumption and export.
The primary factor that made Brent more valuable, relative WTI has been obviated, as China demand growth has ebbed, Iran exports have rebounded, along with Iraqi production, which has hit a post-Saddam Hussein-era high point. The surge in U.S. production has also foreclosed the U.S. import market to West African producers, such as Nigeria, which has been left, at times, with nowhere or anybody to sell their oil to.
Read MoreOil hits $44, bringing out calls for a bottom (again)
For many years, WTI was at a premium to Brent, reflective of the transport costs of that oil to the U.S.
With the U.S. acting as a silo of demand and OPEC members tripping over themselves to oversupply the global market, WTI will likely return to its position of higher relative value.
It is not because WTI is better looking or more reflective of global security or insecurity, it is simply because of local market conditions, which are just better and stronger.

I see that autogeek has discontinued the Trizact 5000. What is recommended in place of it?
I had been using abralon 1000-2000-3000-4000 but found that Trizact 1500-3000-5000 did a faster job on some hard clear I am working on.
Then using Merzana 400 and finer to finish. (Flex 3401 and 6" wool, then foam pads.)

One of the most fiercely debated and questioned issues at Workplace Law's 8th Annual Facilities Management Conference today (31 January) proved to be the upcoming Construction (Design and Management) (CDM) Regulations.
In April 2007 the CDM Regulations 1994 and Construction (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1996 are to be merged into a single piece of overarching legislation - CDM 2007 - governing construction activity.
Graeme Walker, Associate Director at Turner & Townsend, conducted a detailed and informative session at today's conference looking into what changes CDM 2007 will introduce and the implications of these changes.
The number of questions and comments made in the session highlighted just how important the issue of CDM is going to be for FMs this year.
As Walker explained, the key aim of CDM 2007 is to integrate health and safety into the management of the project and to encourage everyone involved to work together to:
The idea of roles is important to CDM 2007 and Walker detailed how the new regulations clarify and change the roles of the client, the coordinator, the principle contractor and the designer.
The session also looked in detail at a number of other issues:
In the run up to CDM 2007 Workplace Law is holding a series of one-day legal update conferences, run by Graeme Walker.
The aim of the day is to provide practical information to those who will be responsible for implementing the requirements of CDM 2007. The programme is designed to identify the key changes between CDM 2004 and CDM 2007 and the roles and responsibilities for duty holders.
These include:
The conference identifies how the requirements of the CDM Regulations relate to a project lifecycle, with a focus on how the good practice can be integrated into the CDM process. This conference will be held on a number of dates in London and in Manchester. For more information please call 0870 777 8881 or visit http://www.workplacelaw.net/training.

Houses of Saxe-Coburg and Windsor
Edward VII (1901–1910)
Edward VII was 59 when he became king, having been heir for longer than anyone else before in British history. As a young prince, he was subjected to a strict upbringing. Although his parents, Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, were keen to ensure he was prepared to rule, Edward was given almost no opportunity to become involved in affairs of state until Victoria was an elderly woman in 1897. So Edward joined London society instead, spending his time eating, drinking, gambling, shooting and watching horse-racing. In 1863, he married Princess Alexandra of Denmark and they had six children, five of whom survived to adulthood. Edward also had a series of mistresses, including the actress Lily Langtry. Edward succeeded to the throne as Edward VII on the death of Victoria, in 1901. Related to most European royalty, for which he was known as the "Uncle of Europe", Edward was able to assist in foreign policy negotiations. He died in May 1910 and was succeeded by his son, who became George V.
Christened Albert Edward, Edward VII was known as "Bertie" to other members of the royal family all his life.

April 20, 2017 (from WJTV) — Three new kayak-dedicated launches have been installed at the Ross Barnett Reservoir.
The Pearl River Valley Water Supply District said this gives paddlers access to the Rez.
The new facilities are located at Ratliffs Ferry on the upper river, Brown's Landing on the north end of the main lake just off the Natchez Trace at Mississippi Highway 43, and at Pelahatchie Shore Park in Pelahatchie Bay.
"The existing ramp has become mighty popular with paddlers, and we are proud to add these new sites to give our users more options," said Jack Winstead, President of the PRVWSD Board of Directors. "Kayaking is a fast-growing user group. Five or 10 years ago, it was rare to see a kayak on the reservoir; now, you see them daily."
Each site has self-launch systems that allow users to enter their kayaks and slide into the water at the beginning of the trip and an easy paddle up at the conclusion.

Chakras are centers of consciousness. They are focal points of energy that have a direct, immediate and profound effect on our daily lives. The chakra system is integral to understanding how Kundalini energy works as it travels through the body.
The chakras absorb life force or 'prana' from the Universe and distribute it through the NADIS (energy channels) to the nervous system, endocrine glands and circulatory system.
The first 3 chakras 1, 2 & 3 are known as the lower triangle and are connected to the physical needs of the body and of life.Chakras 5, 6 & 7 are known as the upper triangle and work with our spiritual and universal consciousness. The fourth chakra (heart) is the balance between the two triangles, where the shift happens from ME to WE (Individual to Universal). All the chakras are interconnected and work in unison.
If you imagine the body as a tree and the lower half of the body (navel down) being the trunk and roots and the upper half (navel upwards) are the branches/leaves. The lower triangle focuses on elimination and is balanced by the upper triangle, which accumulate, create and refine. So like the tree, if the root system is functioning properly then the leaves begin to grow and flourish.
By cleansing and balancing the chakras it is possible to connect to a larger source of energy from which we come and to which we return.
The first five Chakras are associated with the elements (Tattvas) EARTH, WATER, FIRE, AIR and ETHER and the upper three Chakras correspond to the subtle realm.
Each chakra has an important function and is correlated with different aspects of our lives, affecting our perceptions, feelings and choices. The seven major chakras interact with, and influence, our thoughts, moods and health.
Through Kundalini exercises and meditation we can explore the mysteries of the chakras, bringing to light ways in which we are blocked, and learning techniques to release our inner energy and full potential.
The chakras are usually depicted as lotus flowers. The Kundalini opening or awakening of each chakra can be seen as the awakening of consciousness within ourselves.
Join Kathryn as we journey through the chakras through a five part workshop series cleansing the seven chakras and setting intentions for the year.
We encourage you to come along to all 5 workshops to deepen your understanding of the chakra system and to experience the overall benefits of the chakra cleanse.
You will be given a powerful meditation for manifestation to be practiced at home that will support your journey.
No previous experience is required. This will be a safe space for you to learn and discover. Kathryn will be available for any queries throughout the journey.
Chakra Cleanse Workshop Dates:
Sunday 17thMarch – Cleanse Chakras 1 + 2 (10am-12.30pm)
Saturday 11thMay – Cleanse Chakra 3 (10am-12.30pm)

I take refuge with Allaah from the accursed devil.
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـنِ الرَّحِيمِ
Bismillah-ir-Rahman-ir-Raheem: In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful.
Welcome to my blog and praise the Magnificent Lord as you enter: Allahu Akbar: Allah is the Greatest .
May the Peace and Blessings of Allah Azza wa Jal, our Lord Glorified and Praised be He, be upon our beloved Prophet, his Family, and Companions.
Seeking the protection of Allah, the Exalted, from the evil whisperer.
قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبّ النَّاسِ
(1. Say: "I seek refuge with the Lord of An-Nas,")
مَلِكِ النَّاسِ
(2. "The King of An-Nas,")
إِلَـهِ النَّاسِ
(3. "The God of An-Nas,")

(5. "Who whispers in the breasts of An-Nas.")
مِنَ الْجِنَّةِ وَالنَّاسِ
(6. "Of Jinn and An-Nas.")
Surah 114 An Naas Verse 1-6
Tafsir Ibn Kathir
These are three attributes from the attributes of the Lord, the Mighty and Majestic. They are lordship, sovereignty and divinity. Thus, He is the Lord of everything, the King of everything and the God of everything. All things are created by Him, owned by Him, and subservient to Him. Therefore, He commands whoever is seeking protection to seek refuge with the One Who has these attributes from the evil of the whisperer who withdraws. This (the whisperer) is the devil that is assigned to man. For verily, there is not any of the Children of Adam except that he has a companion that beautifies wicked deeds for him. This devil will go to any lengths to confuse and confound him. The only person who is safe is He Whom Allah protects.
It is confirmed in the Sahih that he (the Prophet ) said,
(There is not a single one of you except that his companion (a devil) has been assigned to him.) They (the Companions) said, "What about you, O Messenger of Allah" He replied,
(Yes. However, Allah has helped me against him and he has accepted Islam. Thus, he only commands me to do good.) It is also confirmed in the Two Sahihs from Anas, who reported the story of Safiyyah when she came to visit the Prophet while he was performing I`tikaf, that he went out with her during the night to walk her back to her house. So, two men from the Ansar met him (on the way). When they saw the Prophet , they began walking swiftly. So, the Messenger of Allah said,
(Slow down! This is Safiyyah bint Huyay!) They said, "Glory be to Allah, O Messenger of Allah!" He said,
(Verily, Shaytan runs in the Son of Adam like the running of the blood. And verily, I feared that he might cast something into your hearts — or he said — evil.) Sa`id bin Jubayr reported that Ibn `Abbas said concerning Allah's statement,
(The whisperer (Al-Waswas) who withdraws.) "The devil who is squatting (perched) upon the heart of the Son of Adam. So when he becomes absentminded and heedless he whispers. Then, when he remembers Allah he withdraws." Mujahid and Qatadah also said this.
Al-Mu`tamir bin Sulayman reported that his father said, "It has been mentioned to me that Shaytan is Al-Waswas. He blows into the heart of the Son of Adam when he is sad and when he is happy. But when he (man) remembers Allah, Shaytan withdraws." Al-`Awfi reported from Ibn `Abbas;
(The whisperer.) "He is Shaytan. He whispers and then when he is obeyed, he withdraws." As for Allah's saying;
(Who whispers in the breasts of An-Nas.) Is this specific for the Children of Adam as is apparent, or is it general, including both mankind and Jinns
There are two views concerning this. This is because they (the Jinns) are also included in the usage of the word An-Nas (the people) in most cases.
Ibn Jarir said, "The phrase Rijalun min Al-Jinn (Men from the Jinns) has been used in reference to them, so it is not strange for the word An-Nas to be applied to them also." Then Allah says,
(Of Jinn and An-Nas.) Is this explanatory of Allah's statement,
(Who whispers in the breasts of An-Nas.) Then, Allah explains this by saying,
(Of Jinn and An-Nas.) This is supportive of the second view. It has also been said that Allah's saying,
(Of Jinn and An-Nas) is an explanation of who is it that whispers into the breasts of mankind from the devils of mankind and Jinns. This is similar to Allah's saying,
(And so We have appointed for every Prophet enemies — Shayatin among mankind and Jinn, inspiring one another with adorned speech as a delusion.) (6:112) Imam Ahmad recorded that Ibn `Abbas said, "A man came to the Prophet and said, `O Messenger of Allah! Sometimes I say things to myself that I would rather fall from the sky than say (aloud openly). ' The Prophet said,
(Allah is Most Great! Allah is Most Great! All praise is due to Allah Who sent his (Shaytan's) plot back as only a whisper.)" Abu Dawud and An-Nasa'i also recorded this Hadith.
This is the end of the Tafsir. All praise and thanks are due to Allah, the Lord of all that exists.

Tiger Schulmann's Mixed Martial Arts of Bensonhurst will be hosting a Bully Prevention Seminar for children and parents of the community, October 18 from 3:30-5 p.m. at Tiger Schulmann's of Bensonhurst, 8501 New Utrecht Avenue.
The seminar will focus on teaching children basic bully prevention skills through interactive skits, demonstrations and crowd participation for both children and adults, all conducted by the black belt instructors of Tiger Schulmann's Mixed Martial Arts.
These fun and educational activities will teach children how to avoid and discourage bullying, what to do when encountering a bullying situation, how to communicate bullying situations to teachers and family, how to handle physical confrontations and how to be confident in a non-aggressive way.
Parents will also be coached on how to identify signs that their child is being bullied, how to keep the lines of communication open on the subject of bullying and will be provided information on bullying resources.
"Being bullied can be devastating to a child. And out of embarrassment, most kids never tell their parents about it," said Sensei A. Viscovich, head instructor of Tiger Schulmann's in Bensonhurst. "No child should have to be subjected to the fear and trauma associated with bullying. Our seminars are specifically designed to empower kids to be able to stand up for themselves, to not be afraid and to be confident enough to repel and discourage bullying."
The free Bully Prevention Seminar is part of the Tiger Schulmann's CHILDSAFE (sm) program, established in 1992 as a program designed to teach awareness about child safety in our communities, and to encourage communication between parents and children about these vital issues.
Parents should call Tiger Schulmann's of Bensonhurst, Brooklyn at 718-234-8443 for more information and to reserve space for their child in the seminars.

Coco's Bistro will soon have a new chef at the helm of its kitchen after the departure of the executive chef who had led the Dayton restaurant's kitchen for about five years over two separate stints.
Darin Mitchell — who helped open Coco's Bistro's previous location on Wayne Avenue more than a decade ago, and who returned to the restaurant about three years ago after it moved in 2012 to its current location at 250 Warren St. just south of downtown Dayton — has stepped down, and starting Jan. 2, chef Bryan Ondre will step in to lead the kitchen, according to Karen Wick-Gagnet, Coco's co-owner.
>> A few things you missed in Dayton last week while you were in a food coma
Mitchell "has been looking for other opportunities," Wick-Gagnet told this news outlet. She praised Mitchell's work at her restaurant, and said he had "no animosity toward Darin" for his decision. Attempts to reach Mitchell last week were unsuccessful.
The nomination period in Dayton.com's Best of 2018 contest has started! Click the button below to start teling us your favorites.
Ondre has worked in the kitchens of several full-service Dayton-area restaurants, including the former Pacchia, as well as Salar and most recently Coldwater Cafe in Tipp City. He also spent five years at Serratto Restaurant and Bar in Portland, Oregon.
>> Popular Asian restaurant reopens after year-long absence
In a release, Ondre said, "I'm excited about the opportunity to prepare the food I like to cook and to be downtown at Coco's. Coco's has such a great and supportive environment, and I am excited to bring my own take on food to the community through this opportunity."
"I feel like I learned something from every chef I worked under," Ondre said. "But then I took it and made it my own style, and I can't wait to bring that to Coco's.
>> The 12 best restaurants in Dayton -- well, Coco's, and the other 11
Wick-Gagnet said in a phone interview that there will be no sudden, sweeping changes to the Coco's Bistro menu.
"We will tweak and adjust initially," she said. But diners will likely see an increased focus on small-plate offerings, many of which will build on the restaurant's a farm-to-table approach, the Coco's founder said.
>> El Meson's 40th birthday celebration continues with tastes from trip to the Old World
"The people who dine here are our friends and neighbors," Wick-Gagnet said in a release. "People come to Coco's to create memories and have meaningful, authentic experiences, and we are looking forward to sharing new experience with them in 2019 when Bryan comes on board."
A wine dinner is in the works in early January to help introduce Ondre, Wick-Gagnet said.
Coco's Bistro got its start more than two decades ago on East Fifth Street in the Oregon District.

Ruslyn In The Pink Japanese Maple
(Photo courtesy of NetPS Plant Finder)
* This is a "special order" plant - contact store for details
Height: 10 feet
Spread: 8 feet
Hardiness Zone: 4
This variety has rather large foliage for a dwarf that emerges pink, darkens to red and then purple, older growth is bronzy-green; progresses to deep crimson in fall; a visually stunning specimen for the garden or container
Ornamental Features
Ruslyn In The Pink Japanese Maple has attractive purple-variegated dark red foliage which emerges pink in spring. The large lobed palmate leaves are highly ornamental and turn an outstanding crimson in the fall. Neither the flowers nor the fruit are ornamentally significant. The rough gray bark adds an interesting dimension to the landscape.
Landscape Attributes
Ruslyn In The Pink Japanese Maple is a dense deciduous tree with a strong central leader and an upright spreading habit of growth. Its relatively fine texture sets it apart from other landscape plants with less refined foliage.
This is a relatively low maintenance tree, and should only be pruned in summer after the leaves have fully developed, as it may 'bleed' sap if pruned in late winter or early spring. It has no significant negative characteristics.
Ruslyn In The Pink Japanese Maple is recommended for the following landscape applications;
- Accent
- Mass Planting
- Hedges/Screening
- General Garden Use
- Container Planting
Planting & Growing
Ruslyn In The Pink Japanese Maple will grow to be about 10 feet tall at maturity, with a spread of 8 feet. It tends to be a little leggy, with a typical clearance of 2 feet from the ground, and is suitable for planting under power lines. It grows at a slow rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for 60 years or more.
This tree does best in full sun to partial shade. It prefers to grow in average to moist conditions, and shouldn't be allowed to dry out. It is not particular as to soil pH, but grows best in rich soils. It is somewhat tolerant of urban pollution, and will benefit from being planted in a relatively sheltered location. Consider applying a thick mulch around the root zone in winter to protect it in exposed locations or colder microclimates. This is a selected variety of a species not originally from North America.
Ruslyn In The Pink Japanese Maple is a fine choice for the yard, but it is also a good selection for planting in outdoor pots and containers. Its large size and upright habit of growth lend it for use as a solitary accent, or in a composition surrounded by smaller plants around the base and those that spill over the edges. Note that when grown in a container, it may not perform exactly as indicated on the tag - this is to be expected. Also note that when growing plants in outdoor containers and baskets, they may require more frequent waterings than they would in the yard or garden.

Holy Habit #8 – Serving (Matthew 25:31-41)John Simpson, 8th March 2020
Part of the Holy Habits series, preached at a Sunday Morning service
Then the King will say to those on his right,
"Come, you who are blessed by my Father;
take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared
for you since the creation of the world."
(Verse 34)
Then he will say to those on his left, "Depart
from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal
fire prepared for the devil and his angels."
(Verse 41)
|Same day:
|« Living Lent
|Holy Habit 9 - Gladness & Generosity »
Matthew 25:31–41 (Listen)
31 "When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 And he will place the sheep on his right, but the goats on the left. 34 Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, 36 I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.' 37 Then the righteous will answer him, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? 38 And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? 39 And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?' 40 And the King will answer them, 'Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.'
41 "Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.

Don't judge me but sometimes I am a horrible person and crave a juicy burger. Granted, I'll never find a replacement for the typical American burger but I did find a pretty freakin' good version the other day. Bri and I went out hunting for lunch on Friday and I was utterly miserable. My grandfather had died that morning and I wanted to drown my sorrows in a burger- strange? Yes. When sad I either don't eat or I do eat... Lots. When we wandered out, we decided to go by our typical joint: BIEH or best I ever had. Normally restaurants who market themselves in English scare me off... But honestly? I wanted a bacon cheeseburger.
So BIEH located on Rue Merciere, another touristy food place, is my typical go to place. They have milkshakes, Dr.Pepper and an awesome student menu for only 10$. Better to buy a burger in a restaurant than in MacDo in my opinion.
The burgers are thick, often in France a burger is what they call a 'steak haché' which is a thin hammered out ground beef patty flash cooked and served with French fries and not often with a bun.
At BIEH the burgers are served with typically cheddar style cheese, bacon and the squishy dough bun. Sauces on the side, home made French fries- yum.
If not I have heard only good things from Ninkasi, although Bri tells me it's horrible.
Worse comes to worse it's easy to by some steak haché from the boucherie- mine if you wish (Boucherie Centrale) and make it at home. Monoprix has all the delicious go-alongs and hey hen you can stack it.
Although I sure do miss a good Henry's burger or a mass produced Red Robin.
Any other recommendations?
From flip flops in Oregon to high heels in France, a young American who lived 3 years overseas, and now facing the backward culture shock of moving back.

Ductless Heating and Cooling Systems
Do you notice that your monthly energy bill has been through the roof in the past quarter? Or maybe you have noticed that your house is extremely drafty; warm in some areas, cool in others despite using the same thermostat to control the whole house. Not only are the above problems frustrating, but they are completely avoidable if you have a ductless system.
Some benefits of ductless heating and cooling systems are below:
Less Outdoor-Indoor Airflow
Ductless systems typically consist of a heat pump or air conditioner mounted on the wall inside combined with an outdoor compressor. However, unlike window units, ductless systems only require a small hole to be drilled into the wall. This makes them less susceptible to leaks and other airflow problems that could be costing you on your monthly bill.
An Increase in Energy Efficiency
In the average household, roughly 25 percent (or more) of energy is lost due to poorly designed ductwork. By removing the ducts themselves, your HVAC unit in Ravenswood will automatically improve its efficiency. It's also important to note that ductless models utilize inverter-driven compressors that either speed up or slow down based on the system's needs. Traditional HVAC compressors shut off completely when they are turned off and on, ultimately using more energy than ductless systems do.
Ensure Every Room is Comfortable
Draftiness is one of the main reasons that customers ask us about our ductless systems. For example, you may get home from work on a winter day and notice that your kitchen is comfortable and warm, but when you walk into another area of your home, such as your living room, you notice that it is cold and uncomfortable. If you often experience this, try opting for a ductless system to increase uniformity in your home's temperature.
Improve Your Indoor Air Quality
Another little-known benefit of ductless systems is that they improve your indoor air quality. Traditional HVAC systems in Ravenswood need to be cleaned on a regular basis and, even after cleaning, leave behind dust and other allergens. Ductless systems have multi-stage filtration that can significantly reduce the number of allergens.
Are you ready to make the switch to a ductless HVAC system? Our team at American Home Heating is only a phone call away!

First Peoples Principles of Learning Sabrina Sharifzada
The two aspects in the First Peoples Principles of Learning that I am going to connect to, are interconnectedness and sustainability.
In beginning of the year, me and my class participated in the SSEP project which was a project that we got to choose a experiment and in the end all experiment proposals would go to the judges. The judges would then assess everyone's and choose one experiment and send it to space to conduct that groups experiment. I noticed this project had a lot of sustainability because there had to be a reason to this experiment if we wanted our experiment to be chosen. We also had to state what benefits this experiment would bring to our world for future generations in one of the sections in the proposal.
We have been doing a project called Engineering Brightness which our goal is to send flashlights to the Dominican Republic to villages where there is no electricity. Me and my group are fundraising so that we can buy the supplies for the building of the lights. In this project I noticed that there is a lot of interconnectedness in this project since we as a class have been contacting the Dominican Republic as well as New Brunswick. Me and my group have been also collaborating with Pitt River Middle School and also was planning to go to Kilmer and other elementary schools in the community.
Learning involves generational roles and responsibilities:
During the SSEP experiment me and my group divided the proposal sections throughout the group so it could be done efficiently and equally. Unfortunatley some people in our group didn't take it seriously and broke our group trust but there was someone in the group who helped a lot in the proposal with me which made me want to group up with her for future group projects. In our EB project I teamed up with people that really care and we mostly do many things together but I had the responsibility to create the posters and Janna had the responsibility to keep in contact with Pitt River. However all of us try to make it to the meetings with Pitt River's Leadership team which is also a responsibility that each of us have.
Learning involves patience and time:
The Engineering Brightness does involve a lot of patience and time. Nothing is done in the blink of an eye, we did many planning, took the time to create presentations, posters, contacting another school. We needed to give them time to think about whether they want too help us or not. We also have to contact through email and plan when we are meeting with Pitt River. We also have to go on our own time to the meetings so that we don't miss school. We have to be patient because not everything goes the way we want it to.
Learning requires exploration of one's identity:
Throughout these projects I learned many things. Both of these projects will be an experience of a lifetime. This is the first time I have actually gone out the real world trying to solve something (light poverty) and also done a project where mine experiment had the chance to go to space. I got the chance to revisit my previous school. I have explored many things in these two projects that I haven't in other school projects in my previous years of education. Throughout these projects I explored through various emotions and feeling such as frustration, nervousness, excited, happiness, being proud of something, etc…
Learning is embedded in memory, history, and story:
The Engineering Brightness Project have created many memories with friends and also got to meet new people. If I get to state my interesting experiences in my resume, I would surely have this in there. Last year we had to write out our life story as an assignment and if I ever had to do something like writing out another story I would have my experience in there. This has been a experience in a life time and I hope to make the best of it.

Just wanted to say Merry Christmas to everyone getting ready to celebrate. Christmas preparations have been taking over my week so not much time for stitching or blogging lately but it's going to be so worth it this weekend when I don't have to run around like a crazed woman trying to clean and cook for Christmas Day dinner. My husband and I have a bit of light cleaning left to do and the cooking but it's a reasonable amount of work for the time left before Christmas Day.
Tomorrow my Mom is coming over to bake because her oven is not working. She usually bakes a lot for Christmas so she's got a list and we're also going to make our annual double batch of mini cheesecakes for my dad and husband and anyone else who can sneak one away from them. I'm going to try and do as much cooking for Christmas dinner as possible too as there are quite a few things on the menu that can be made a day or so ahead of time. It should be good fun. And, for those of you wondering just how poor Mom can cope without an oven at Christmas time-at least it's better than last year when my poor parents spent over a month without water because their well dried up and they had to have a new one dug. It was even longer before they could drink the new water because of the water tests that needed to be done. That all happened around Thanksgiving and we had to move the family gathering. Hopefully 2007's holidays will be less eventful for my parents.
Merry Christmas!

Thanks Christine and same to you!
Arthemise-it worked out just fine:) We're used to working in the same kitchen though it's usually at Mom's house. We had more problems with the boys (Dad, DH and my little brother) wandering through and stealing cookies!

There are a lot of beauty salons. There are a lot of places where you kind find more than one beauty salon. They have more and more attractive offers. But a good price is not all you need. The clients don't want to risk too low price for their beauty. That's why the price isn't the most important.
Beauty salon's repute
It's important how long the salon exists. Years of experience make it trustworthy because they will make their job well. If someone has worked from years he has also some group of permanent customers. It's worth to choose that kind of salon. You can also try to find the opinion of customers who choose this salon from some time.
It looks to be important because thank to that you will know something about beauticians who work there and what you can expect for them. It's very significant and you have to care about it. Everyone will appreciate service which is made by the qualified specialists.
Certificates, trainings, awards
Employee' competences are very important and you have to care about it. It's worth to check if people who work there try to develop their skills and meliorate. If you notice that someone participates in trainings, has some certificates or awards, it's obviously a sign that it could be a good employee with high quality of proposed services.
Facial treatment prices
Of course prices are very important, but they can't be treated like the only determinant. It's good to pay up less but it's not always possible. If you are not sure, you can't make decision only because of the price. If you want to try some place, you can go for a test visit. It looks to be a good solution which will help you to check the quality of offer services.

For the love of me, I can't figure this last line out for the toddler dress I'm making! How irritating! I've worked long and hard on it all day and finally get to the last row and nope, the stitches done match or whatever the pattern is talking about at least. I have the right number in the previous row and in the right places but it just won't go. Guess I'll just have to put it down and have a break then try again.

This is as authentically Thai as I am. Not at all! But, remember when anything with peanut and hot flavours = Thai? That's when this cheap dish evolved.
In a microwave safe cup, put
1/3 cup water
3 tbsp peanut butter
2 tbsp soy sauce
1-2 tsp hot sauce
2 tsp sugar, brown sugar or honey
1 1/2 tsp chilli powder
1 tsp garlic powder
Heat for 1 minute and stir. Done. Keeps in the fridge for months
When you are poor: This sauce can be put on rice or noodles and eaten as is!!! It makes a meal.
This can be used to cook meat in a casserole with onions and carrots or most vegetables.
It makes a stir fry with meat or seafood or vegetable.
This makes a kickass salad dressing.
And a sauce for pita sandwiches.
And a vegetable dip.
Or a fruit dip.
It has saved my budget for decades

Blog Archives
Hello Everyone,
I know for the past few weeks I have not been able to post any new blog or vlog material and for that I apologize. I have however been EXTREMELY busy writing and recording an all new Joint album with my producer @313Phresh, who is also the man behind the visual imagery of the TrueSpeech VLOG series. Writing and recording an album is a very in depth process and it requires full attention to detail in order to create the best music possible which translates to quite a few long nights and 5am-6am studio sessions. However with this album I truly feel that this is some of the most creative, original, and hard hitting music to come out of Detroit in a very long. 313 Phresh and I have truly put a lot into this project & we are hopeful that it will be well received by all who are able to hear it. Very soon we will put the finishing touches on the music aspect of the album and we will in the near future begin promotions for the project. Please visit http://familygrind.com/ to get updated first regarding any and all news about Music, Performances, Appearances, and FGE Apparel.

Al Raha Gardens connects to Etisalat's FTTH network
Al Raha Garden's high-speed fibre-to-the-home network expected to be complete by 2011
Abu Dhabi's Al Raha Gardens villa development has connected to Etisalat's FTTH network, making it one of the first areas in the Middle East to make use of fibre-to-the-home technology.
Traditionally the 'Last Mile' of telecommunications is done with either wireless technology or simple copper wiring. FTTH technology is the next generation of connectivity, and achieves high bandwidth speeds by running fibre optic cables directly into homes and workplaces.
Many telecoms companies such as AT&T feel that copper is sufficient for current bandwidth requirements, but this hasn't stopped Etisalat from embarking on a project that will see FTTH networks created across the UAE over the next few years.
Etisalat has stated that it expects to have an FTTH customer base in the hundreds of thousands by the end of 2008. The company is calling Al Raha Gardens' adoption of the technology a "starting point".
Ousama Ghannoum, marketing & media director of ALDAR Properties, explained the decision: "Part of the delivery on our projects is ensuring that the occupiers have access to services that will enhance the lifestyle offering. We are pleased that this network will be able to provide such an efficient service to Al Raha Gardens."
Essa Al Haddad, chief marketing officer, Etisalat, said:" With this technology, customers will be able to enjoy many services including fixed-line calls, television services over the internet protocol IPTV (Advanced digital TV), many other services that require high speed internet service, telephony, and other high-bandwidth online experiences such as gaming and video-on-demand (VOD). Customers will be able to indulge in this through only one consolidated connection insuring high quality and standard of services."

You listen harder at night—
your veins squeeze,
the nameless neighbor,
the police car/fire truck/ ambulance sirens
as they cross on to the FDR Drive,
the lonesome/ frightened barking dog
the groan all buildings make when they breathe.
You listen to the voices talking to you—
though they don't know your name as yet
or the sound of fog your breath makes
against the mirror glass—
so much like blood as it hits the porcelain floor.
You listen to the sounds your ears must make
as they shear off the words, themselves the kin to words—
by being there, so to speak, to listen.
Sound Traveler
You listen harder at night—

Did you notice the new widget in the sidebar? I'm participating in this wonderful event! 🙂 So don't miss the sale and check the other wonderful authors participating! Lots of lovely covers – my TBR list will grow again, sigh! And apparently there will be some kind of contest as well, yay! A great applause to author Tim Flanagan for starting this! He's doing more in other genres, so if you write paranormal romance, you might want to check him out!
Just for your information, the participating books for yours truly are Books of the Immortals – Air, Chronicles of the Varian Empire – The Left-handed Warrior and Technological Angel. I can fix the 99c/75p prices, but the other markets will vary (still be discounted for two days, though)… Feel free to spread the word – I have created a Goodreads event and a Facebook event… share, share, share, the more the merrier, thank you!
Besides, July is the sales month! This year Smashwords does the Summer/Winter sale again, so everything at Unicorn Productions is 50% off until the end of the month (the above 3 will still be more than 99c, so you might want to wait for that). Which means some books will be free. Which means I thank very much the kind person who bought 3 books mere hours before the start of the sale – hopefully that wonderful person will check them before the end of the month and get more with the discounted price! 🙂
Finishing Amazon Sisters, so I can re-read and send it off to betas and get back to Star Minds Snippets. By the way, I've found this interesting site, No Names, No Jackets, that allows you to sample books without being distracted by covers or blurbs or all that marketing stuff (that often gets on my nerves). I have uploaded a few excerpts of my books, but they're not all live yet, so just play with the random search and see if you can recognize them! 🙂 I'll eventually add them to the "Excerpts and Free Reads" page…
Some interesting links! Thank God someone finally expressed my opinion of the Her0's Journey! 🙂 This so reminds me of those screenwriting gurus telling you how a screenplay should be structured having never written one in their entire life. Same thing here – someone studied the classics and decided that's how a story should be told. And probably never actually wrote anything – like the "how to write" books written by editors. I doubt any writer would be very articulate in saying how he/she came up with the story.
Unless he's David Farland (or a few others who can actually teach how to write). See Dave's post on Grey Heroes. Another two are Kris Rusch and Dean Wesley Smith. I might take the lecture on pen names at some point, since I can't make it to the Oregon Coast this year. But I enjoy the live workshops more, so here's to next year's travels (which will include Loncon, but hopefully also a workshop with Dean&Kris).
Then check David Gaughran's talk with Alliance of Independent Authors' Orna Ross. This looks like an interesting organization, since it includes the likes of Writers Beware Victoria Strauss and Passive Guy. Worth thinking about joining.
Kris Rusch on life changing events. I have donated for Dave's son, will have to check about Peter David. Honestly I'm not thinking about the future yet – not that I want to live for ever, far from that, but I still have to figure out a couple of things in this very complicated country or find a way out of it and try to earn some other citizenship. Yes, we might have free healthcare, so I won't apply for a Greencard, but I do want to emigrate to a less complicated country! 🙂
And if you'd like to make a living with short fiction, don't forget to check the maths on Dean's blog. I think that even the most busy person in the world can find 15 minutes to write every day, or even one hour, but then, I've heard plenty of "writers" who seem unable to find the time to write. They're probably wannabe authors. Writers write. They don't talk about writing, they just write. So if you're a writer, just go back to writing.
Finally, to blog or not to blog. Up to you. I enjoy this, so I'll keep doing it. Even if with less frequency than when I started, you'll still get regular posts here. B.G Hope has a static web page because I can't handle two blogs, LOL! Unless I start one for readers, with free fiction or whatnot. Mmm, no, I'd rather be off writing the next story, sorry! 🙂 Have a wonderful week and don't forget to check the Smashwords sale – a reminder for the Kindle event next week! 🙂

Dosage Adjustment in patients with Hepatic Impairment
For the treatment of erosive reflux oesophagitis: For patients with moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class B), the recommended dosage is 30 mg DEXILANT once daily for up to eight weeks.
DEXILANT is not recommended in patients with severe hepatic impairment (ChildPugh Class C).
Important Administration Information
Missed doses: If a dose is missed, administer as soon as possible. However, if the next scheduled dose is due, do not take the missed dose, and take the next dose on time. Do not take two doses at one time to make up for a missed dose. Take without regard to food. Swallow whole. Do not chew.
For patients who have trouble swallowing capsules: The capsules can be opened and administered with applesauce as follows:
1. Place one tablespoonful of applesauce into a clean container.
2. Open capsule.
3. Sprinkle intact granules on applesauce.
4. Swallow applesauce and granules immediately. Do not chew granules. Do not save the applesauce and granules for later use.
Dexilant 30mg is indicated in adults and in adolescents aged 12 to 17 years for the following: Maintenance of healed erosive reflux oesophagitis and maintenance of relief of heartburn. Short-term treatment of heartburn and acid regurgitation associated with symptomatic non-erosive gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD).
Dexilant 60mg is indicated in adults and in adolescents aged 12 to 17 years for the following: Treatment of erosive reflux oesophagitis.
Patients with known hypersensitivity to active substance or to any component of the formulation. Acute interstitial nephritis (AIN) has been reported with other proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), including lansoprazole of which dexlansoprazole is the R-enantiomer. Concomitant use with rilpivirine-containing products.
Special Precautions
Presence of Gastric Malignancy: In adults, symptomatic response to therapy with dexlansoprazole does not preclude the presence of gastric malignancy. Consider additional follow-up and diagnostic testing in adult patients who have a suboptimal response or an early symptomatic relapse after completing treatment with a PPI. In older patients, also consider an endoscopy.
Acute Interstitial Nephritis: Acute interstitial nephritis has been observed in patients taking PPIs including lansoprazole. Acute interstitial nephritis may occur at any point during PPI therapy and is generally attributed to an idiopathic hypersensitivity reaction. Discontinue dexlansoprazole if acute interstitial nephritis develops [see Contraindications].
Clostridium difficile Associated Diarrhea: Published observational studies suggest that PPI therapy like dexlansoprazole may be associated with an increased risk of Clostridium difficile associated diarrhea, especially in hospitalized patients. This diagnosis should be considered for diarrhea that does not improve [see Side Effects]. Patients should use the lowest dose and shortest duration of PPI therapy appropriate to the condition being treated.
Bone Fracture: Several published observational studies suggest that PPI therapy may be associated with an increased risk for osteoporosis-related fractures of the hip, wrist or spine. The risk of fracture was increased in patients who received high-dose, defined as multiple daily doses, and long-term PPI therapy (a year or longer). Patients should use the lowest dose and shortest duration of PPI therapy appropriate to the conditions being treated. Patients at risk for osteoporosis-related fractures should be managed according to established treatment guidelines [see Dosage, Side Effects].
Cutaneous and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: Cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) have been reported in patients taking PPIs. These events have occurred as both new onset and an exacerbation of existing autoimmune disease. The majority of PPI-induced lupus erythematosus cases were CLE. The most common form of CLE reported in patients treated with PPIs was subacute CLE (SCLE) and occurred within weeks to years after continuous drug therapy in patients ranging from infants to the elderly. Generally, histological findings were observed without organ involvement. Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is less commonly reported than CLE in patients receiving PPIs. PPI associated SLE is usually milder than non-drug induced SLE. Onset of SLE typically occurred within days to years after initiating treatment primarily in patients ranging from young adults to the elderly. The majority of patients presented with rash; however, arthralgia and cytopenia were also reported. Avoid administration of PPIs for longer than medically indicated. If signs or symptoms consistent with CLE or SLE are noted in patients receiving dexlansoprazole, discontinue the drug and refer the patient to the appropriate specialist for evaluation. Most patients improve with discontinuation of the PPI alone in four to 12 weeks. Serological testing (e.g., ANA) may be positive and elevated serological test results may take longer to resolve than clinical manifestations.
Cyanocobalamin (Vitamin B-12) Deficiency: Daily treatment with any acid-suppressing medications over a long period of time (e.g., longer than three years) may lead to malabsorption of cyanocobalamin (Vitamin B-12) caused by hypo- or achlorhydria. Rare reports of cyanocobalamin deficiency occurring with acid-suppressing therapy have been reported in the literature. This diagnosis should be considered if clinical symptoms consistent with cyanocobalamin deficiency are observed in patients treated with dexlansoprazole.
Hypomagnesemia: Hypomagnesemia, symptomatic and asymptomatic, has been reported rarely in patients treated with PPIs for at least three months, in most cases after a year of therapy. Serious adverse events include tetany, arrhythmias, and seizures. In most patients, treatment of hypomagnesemia required magnesium replacement and discontinuation of the PPI. For patients expected to be on prolonged treatment or who take PPIs with medications such as digoxin or drugs that may cause hypomagnesemia (e.g., diuretics), health care professionals may consider monitoring magnesium levels prior to initiation of PPI treatment and periodically [see Side Effects].
Interactions with Investigations for Neuroendocrine Tumors: Serum chromogranin A (CgA) levels increase secondary to drug-induced decreases in gastric acidity. The increased CgA level may cause false positive results in diagnostic investigations for neuroendocrine tumors. Healthcare providers should temporarily stop dexlansoprazole treatment at least 14 days before assessing CgA levels and consider repeating the test if initial CgA levels are high. If serial tests are performed (e.g. for monitoring), the same commercial laboratory should be used for testing, as reference ranges between tests may vary.
Interaction with Methotrexate: Literature suggests that concomitant use of PPIs with methotrexate (primarily at high dose) may elevate and prolong serum levels of methotrexate and/or its metabolite, possibly leading to methotrexate toxicities. In high-dose methotrexate administration, a temporary withdrawal of the PPI may be considered in some patients.
Fundic Gland Polyps: PPI use is associated with an increased risk of fundic gland polyps that increases with long-term use, especially beyond one year. Most PPI users who developed fundic gland polyps were asymptomatic and fundic gland polyps were identified incidentally on endoscopy. Use the shortest duration of PPI therapy appropriate to the condition being treated.
Side Effects
The following serious adverse reactions are described below and elsewhere in labeling: acute interstitial nephritis, Clostridium difficile associated diarrhea, bone fracture, cutaneous and systemic lupus erythematosus, cyanocobalamin (Vitamin B-12) deficiency, hypomagnesemia and Fundic Gland Polyps.
Most common in adults (≥2%): diarrhea, abdominal pain, nausea, upper respiratory tract infection, vomiting, flatulence.
Most common in pediatric patients (≥ 5%): headache, abdominal pain, diarrhea, nasopharyngitis and oropharyngeal pain.
See prescribing information for full details.
Drug interactions
Dexlansoprazole may interact with other drugs, including Antiretrovirals (such as atazanavir, nelfinavir, rilpivirine), methotrexate, warfarin, digoxin, iron salts, erlotinib, dasatinib, nilotinib, mycophenoloate mofetil, ketoconazole, itraconazole.
See prescribing information for full details.
Pregnancy and Lactation
Pregnancy: There are no studies with dexlansoprazole use in pregnant women to inform a drugassociated risk.
Dexlansoprazole is the R-enantiomer of lansoprazole, and published observational studies of lansoprazole use during pregnancy did not demonstrate an association of adverse pregnancy-related outcomes with lansoprazole.
Lactation: There is no information regarding the presence of dexlansoprazole in human milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production.
See prescribing information for full details.
There have been no reports of significant overdose of Dexlansoprazole. Multiple doses of Dexlansoprazole 120 mg and a single dose of Dexlansoprazole 300 mg did not result in death or other severe adverse events. However, serious adverse events of hypertension have been reported in association with twice daily doses of Dexlansoprazole 60 mg. Non-serious adverse reactions observed with twice daily doses of Dexlansoprazole 60 mg include hot flashes, contusion, oropharyngeal pain, and weight loss. Dexlansoprazole is not expected to be removed from the circulation by hemodialysis. In the event of over-exposure, treatment should be symptomatic and supportive. If over-exposure occurs, call your poison control center for current information on the management of poisoning or over-exposure.
Important notes
Storage: Do not store above 25°C.

Episode 180 - Colour your world! part 1
Aug 14, 2014
For this week's Quackcast I asked people what colour techniques they use and BOY was I surprised by the high calibre of the responses! We had some heavy hitter contributions, people with colour skill beyond what I can conceive of, and I'm no slouch myself when it comes to colouring. We had such good contributions and the subject is so complex that that we decided to split it over two parts so we can properly discuss this very technical concept: COLOUR! Colouring is an important and advanced skill when it comes to comic art. At the most basic level you can restrict yourself to a simple palette with no shading or tones, if you want to be more advanced though there is no limit to how complex you can get. Hopefully the advice presented here can help you with your artwork!

"Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom. Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven." (Proverbs 23:3-5 KJV)
The god of the natural man is self. Worship of self revolves around self-gratification. This idolatry is enhanced in a consumer driven economy such as in the United States. Today is Thanksgiving Day and tomorrow is called Black Friday because it is supposed to be the heaviest shopping day of the year as people hit the stores to buy Christmas gifts at supposedly lower prices. The day is called Black Friday because it is traditional that most retailer's ledgers and balance sheets get into the black for the first time in the year. As a result we are inundated with sale papers and ads on TV about sales that begin before the Sun comes up.
This consumerism is the fruit of an economic system that is designed to manipulate people into buying things that they would not ordinarily buy. Christmas has become a commercial holiday that is all about buying gifts and spending money. The holiday was supposed to celebrate the advent of our Lord Jesus Christ, however, that meaning has been relegated to the back burner or lost in the shuffle. Now, it is all about buying gifts and receiving gifts. To the retailer, it is a time for making money. No matter from what angle we approach Christmas, it seems that it is all about greed. God's people are called to be different. Their focus should not be on self at all, but on serving their Lord in obedience and love. Continue reading

Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: bicycle, bike, commute, commuting, Draper, Father's Day, fun, mountain, Summit, Suncrest, Traverse Mountain, Traverse Ridge
Since it was Father's Day today the family gave me the afternoon off, so I decided to take on my most ambitious ride to date. I rode to the top of a nearby mountain, and I think it was one of the most difficult things I've ever done.
That road off in the distance is the one that I came up to get to the top. For those of you that know Salt Lake City, this is the road at the south end of the valley that goes up Traverse Mountain in Draper. I climbed almost 1600 feet over about 7 miles, and parts of the road are a 10% grade. I didn't know that when I started, and like I said, I think it was one of the hardest things I've ever done.
As soon as I turned onto the main road leading up to the summit the intense stuff started. I shifted down to the lowest gear I had, small ring in front, and largest ring in back. Even though I was geared down so far I still had to fight for every pedal stroke. It felt like I was just crawling up the road, and it took every bit of mental focus I had to keep going. I kept trying to relax my upper body and focus on smooth breathing and smooth pedaling. The road winds around a lot, so you really can't see what is ahead, and every time I came around a corner I would see more road stretching up the mountain, and I would have to will myself to keep going. It became a game of "just pedal to that tree up there" and then "okay, now just pedal to that signpost".
I kept up this mental game until I was a little over halfway up, and I kept telling myself that I had come so far that I couldn't quit now, but finally it overwhelmed me and I decided that I couldn't go any further, so I pulled over on a part of the road that seemed a little less steep. I say a "little less steep" because I don't think the grade got below 5% from mile 3 until the top, except for about a 100 yard stretch next to a little pond. I almost fell off the bike when I stopped, because my legs were so shaky. I had some panic "what have I done" kind of thoughts, wondering how I was going to get back down when I couldn't even stand up. I drank some water and walked around for a few minutes to catch my breath, and then sanity took over again, and I figured I had come so far that I should try to keep going.
I had picked a good place to stop because just around the next bend the road flattened out a good bit for a little stretch, and I noticed a little pond off to the left, so I decided to pull over, enjoy the scenery, and eat a granola bar to see if I could get some energy back.
I don't know how long I sat there. It seemed like 5 minutes, but it could've been longer. Passing drivers gave me interesting looks as I finished my granola bar and drained my first water bottle. I looked up the road, and guessed that I might be getting close to the top, so since I felt a bit refreshed I decided to soldier on, determined to get to the summit.
Needless to say, I made it, and the picture at the top of this post is the proof that I was there. I sat and enjoyed my conquest for a few minutes, taking some more pictures, and even sending a text message to my family with a picture, to prove what I had done.
If the ride up was one of the hardest things I ever done, then the ride down was surely one of the most exhilarating things I've ever done. I'm not sure how fast I ended up going, but I was keeping pace with the cars coming down, so I would guess I probably hit 45-50 miles per hour. That was intense!
On the way down I noticed a sign that I hadn't seen coming up, and it pretty much sums up the journey…
I'm actually glad that I didn't see that on the way up, because I think it would have been one more thing to overcome in the mental game.
By the time I got back home I had covered about 25 miles, and had accomplished something that I never would have dreamed of even trying a year ago. We cooked some steaks, and I shared my adventure with my family.
It was quite a Father's Day!

Nice job Scott. I love reading your posts. Great pictures too. Where was this?

Looks like a great place to build up your leg muscles! You probably averaged 20+ mph, which is a really good pace. 🙂
Awesome entry and good job! I recently rode up a 1 mile 7% hill and was crying by the time I got to the top, so you are my hero 😉
