My family & I headed to Florida for a family vacation from September 20-September27, 2008. We had a wonderful time. We relaxed on the beach, went shopping & was just lazy for a whole week. Mom & Angela took turns waking up with Avery at night, while I enjoyed some uninterrupted sleep!!
Pictures from our Family Vacation:
While we were gone our other "baby", Jake was in an accident. We decided to board Jake for a few days while we were at the beach. Well Ben wakes me up early Friday morning (Sept. 26) to tell me that when he called to check on Jake, they told him that Jake was bit by a big dog (at the kennel boarding place). He made it through surgery ok, but is paralyzed. So needless to say....I'M DEVASTATED!! Ben & I decide to leave Florida early, come home & see about Jake. We also decided that since we needed to get home as quickly as possible it would be best to leave Avery in Florida with my parents & sister to ride home on Saturday. So we took off headed to Pineville at 10AM & drove like a bat out of hell. We made it home around 4PM & went straight to the vet. We looked at Jake's x-rays & found out that his spinal cord was severed meaning that he would never walk again & couldn't defecate himself. So, as much as I wanted him to be ok, he wasn't & we had to put him to sleep. We got to see him & say goodbye, which i'm SOOO thankful for. I kissed him & petted him & told him how much I loved him! Mr. Kirk buried him by Lily (Blake & Lindsay's dog who died last Spring) I'm so glad he buried him b/c Ben nor I were in any kind of shape to do that. I swear it was the absolute hardest thing I've ever had to do in my entire life. (I'm crying as I type). I feel like I lost my best friend & my baby. It's only been a few weeks, but I still beak out in tears randomly throughout the day.
I think about him all the time & I wish Avery could have grown up with him because he was the sweetest dog!! He only lived with her for a week, but he was so good with her. He would have been a wonderful big brother!!
A few weeks before Avery was born I said to Ben "I wonder if I'm going to love Avery as much as I love Jake?" Well, I do & that's the only way i'm getting through this. I miss him so much!!

Oh my goodness Rachel...that is terrible!! I am in tears reading your story. I can so relate...I left my first dog as an adult, Ebbie, at the vet to be spayed (in 2002) and she died on the operating table. I was devastated!! Be strong and God will keep you in his arms.
Your vacation looked like lots of fun for your families!! Avery is beautiful!!

From April 2012 to April 2013, my aggregate gross income was zero.
I read a lot. I ran a lot. I wrote some. Taught myself a little Python and LISP. Played around with a few startup ideas. But I had no overarching or under-arching purpose to what I was doing.
My prior job was working at a high-paying law firm. And since I am frugal and a decent investor, I had some money left over.
The only reason I went to law school was because I tested well and because I was tired of being broke. The only reason I worked at the high-paying law firm was because it was a high-paying law firm.
So there I was, 34 years old, with a decent amount of money and nothing to do.
And do you know what the experience taught me? That I needed some sort of professional focus in my life. And that doing nothing, or doing a bunch of random things without much direction, had started to erode at my sense of purpose. It made me feel as if I were on an island of irrelevance.
And whereas before I had thought that early retirement was the ultimate dream, I soon realized that retirement – at any age – probably wasn't for me. And the more I thought about and read about retirement, the more I realized that retirement probably isn't ideal for a majority of professionals today.
The standard practice for most of us is to work hard during our prime years and then retire in our golden years.
And there is some historical rationale to this. In 1790, 90% of the labor force in the United States worked in agriculture. And working on a farm is demanding, hard work. For most, working on a farm as a 70 or 80 year old is impractical or impossible. But now, less than 3% of the labor force works in agriculture. And the total number of jobs today in the United States that require even "moderate physical activity" is less than 20%.
For 80% of the population, there is no physical reason to compress your working years before the age 65.
According to Pew Research, retirees are no more likely to be happy than workers. So, then, why retire? Apart from the global financial industry, currently estimated in the $11 trillion range, which certainly encourages us to think about retirement, there are other reasons.
To name a few:
- Not working in our golden years sounds nice. No more bosses, no more stress, no more inconvenience of coming into the office every day. Given the choice between work and no work, most people think they'd prefer no work.
- It seems trivial to spend the last years of our life focusing on anything other than spending time with loved ones and appreciating the best things life has to offer.
- Many suffer from declining health as we get older. Whether it's arthritis, incontinence, dementia, or any other ailment traditionally associated with old age, there are plenty of physical reasons why it might be hard to go to into an office, even if the labor done at work isn't physical.
- Also, society might not want older workers to keep working. Mandatory retirement is illegal in most circumstances in the United States, but we've created a host of social incentives, from 401(k)'s to social security, to encourage most workers to leave the workplace before age 70. Maybe this is for the benefit of retirees; maybe it's for the benefit of the younger folks.
In spite of all the incentives to retire, not everyone seems to want to go.
Counterintuitive as it may seem, retirement, and the desire to retire, is actually less common among who can most afford to retire.
According to a recent piece by NBC:
A new survey shows that America's highest earners don't plan on retiring until they are at least 70 years old. Lower-income groups—and even those considered "affluent"—plan to retire much younger, according to the study from Spectrem Group, a wealth research firm.
When asked, "At what age do you expect to retire?" nearly one-third of those with annual earnings of $750,000 or more answered "over 70." Fifteen percent of them say they never plan to retire.
On the other hand, only 6 percent of those making under $100,000 a year plan to retire after 70, and the same percentage say they never plan to retire. Most plan to retire by 65.
The Spectrem survey is backed up by other, previous studies. A 2010 study from Barclay's Wealth found that 54 percent of millionaires say they want to continue working in retirement. Globally, 60 percent of those with a net worth of $15 million or more plan to stay involved with work "no matter what their age.
Warren Buffett is still the CEO of a company with a $357 billion market cap at age 85. Charlie Munger is still vice chair, at age 92! No one needs to work less than they do. But they still go tap dancing to work every day.
Similarly, the average age of retirement for Supreme Court justices in the United States is now 78.3, and many work until they die.
Maybe it's because elite performers tend to be workaholics. But maybe something else is going on.
I recently read this post by Kevin Simler called a Nihilist's Guide to Meaning. In it, he describes meaning as a product of one's influence and connection to other people and institutions. According to Simler (I'm oversimplifying), the extent that we are involved in groups and institutions where our actions have an impact on other people is the extent to which we find meaning in our lives. It's the connection to others that gives us meaning.
When we retire, we remove ourselves from the place where we are most likely to make an impact: work. What's more, senior citizens tend to be further removed from other institutions that impact people, such as schools. A few institutions like churches welcome contributions from senior citizens, but most social institutions don't have a place for the elderly. And so as people age, they often stop doing the things that previously gave meaning to their lives. That's a recipe for obsolesce, depression, and decrepitude.
Warren Buffett can change thousands of lives with a check, a comment, or a stock order. He can make or break a company's future or provide any charity of his choice the gift of perpetual solvency. His choices make a meaningful impact on others, and so he's not inclined to delegate those choices, no matter how old he gets.
And so, too, with the rest of the Forbes list. Almost none of them is retired in any real sense–though they all possess wealth that would be hard to spend no matter how exorbitant their spending habits. Still, they nearly all shirk from a life of pure leisure. From Sheldon Adelson, age 82, to Mark Zuckerberg, age 32, they're still at it.
So, too, is the case for Supreme Court justices. They're not eager to relinquish their hard-earned influence. Many liberal jurists begged Ruth Bader Ginsburg to retire while Obama still had the ability to appoint her successor. She didn't. And at 83, if she were to die or fall ill while a Republican were in office, it would have grave consequences for the progressive causes she has advocated for her entire life. But you have to respect her determination to stick with it, and she's still as important and influential as ever.
The point is, those who make an impact with work rarely wish to leave, no matter how old they get.
I work with startups. And I often run into people who say they're looking to accumulate wealth and retire early. It's something I hear once or twice a week.
To me, that's a huge red flag.
I often ask those entrepreneurs, if you make all that money, what will you do then?
Some say they'll move to a beach in Central America or to Spain or to Paris.
But then what? Will you really just drink watery Central American beer and go scuba diving for the rest of your life?
Sometimes they'll tell me about some project they'd work on.
I tell them that's probably what they should be working on now. (Because if you're going to succeed at a startup, you better have the enthusiasm to keep working on it regardless of how long it takes and how much money you make short term).
Jobs didn't retire. Buffett didn't retire. Zuckerberg won't retire. And if you have the drive and energy that's required to create a successful startup, I'm guessing it's unlikely that you'll ever retire, either.
I have a theory about how to get the most out of your professional life. And it's adopted from a hobby I've been doing since I was 12: long-distance running.
Most training strategies in running follow a simple formula. Stress the body near its limits, rest, repeat. The types of stress vary, but the concept is nearly universal. Push the body to the extremes of what it can handle, and then let the body recover fully.
If you don't stress the body enough, you'll never improve your fitness level. You'll never come near your full potential. Stress it to the extreme without rest, and you'll suffer sickness, injury, or burnout–and you'll never come near your full potential.
The goal is a goldilocks mixture of stress and rest, alternating between the two.
Some call this type of stress "eustress," which is a term for the type of stress that is good for the body and mind. There is an optimum level of stress where a person is challenged to get the most out of his or her abilities. The exact formula for the perfect amount of stress varies from person to person and moment to moment. But without exception, every training regiment I have ever seen incorporates the concepts of stress and rest in some form.
The standard professional arc for most working Americans doesn't jibe with the eustress model. From birth to when we enter the working world, the focus is on education and self discovery. Then, from that point to retirement, most professionals work 48-50 weeks a year – and then come to a near-complete halt.
That's way too much stress in the middle, with not enough rest and recovery, and way too much rest and recovery at the end with nowhere near enough stress.
The ideal mixture is person- and circumstance-specific, but the ideal mixture for all of us should include work stress and work recovery throughout all stages of our lives.
Complete rest leads to atrophy and decay. The over-75 demographic watches more TV than any other age group. That doesn't sound like sucking the marrow out of life to me. Retirees need eustress as much as any other age group–perhaps more, because of the inevitable process of physical and mental decay that happens to each of us as we age. And the conventional cycle of intense working years followed by a complete cessation of professional activity discourages us for obtaining the healthy stresses we need in our final years.
And of course, there is the fact that nearly 20% of Americans die before they reach age 65. Not delaying gratification can be a character flaw, but the decision to delay it too much is fraught with peril as well.
So rather than thinking about retirement, I think about my professional life in daily, weekly, quarterly, annual, and other periodic recovery cycles. If I go on a 30-mile mountain run, I need more than one or two rest days to recover. And if I bang out an intense project or a big deal where I'm working much more than normal, I try to take time to incorporate a longer vacation. If I'm burned out, like I was when I left my big-firm law job, I take a sabbatical. But I have no plan to retire. I'll work and rest throughout my entire life, but as long as I have my faculties about me, I'll have a project waiting for me at the end of every rest cycle.
From everything I have experienced, that seems to be the only way to get better. And from everything I have learned, that's the only way to live.

In a given year, developing countries may get $131 Billion in official aid, and another $431.6 Billion in remittances — money sent home by migrants who are working abroad.
That's the astounding number in the World Bank's new Migration and Development Brief. The total in remittances has been going up yearly and is expected to keep rising, the report predicts, though the rate of growth has slowed a bit because of the drop in oil prices, which affects money earned by migrants in oil-producing countries.
The way the money is spent in developing countries is a tremendous boon, Dilip Ratha, lead author of the brief and head of the Global Knowledge Partnership on Migration and Development says. A lot of it goes to meeting basic needs, like food, but it also is invested in "child education and health, maternal health, older people's health" — and in local businesses.
For the family members, the money "is like a lifeline," Ratha says. It can help break the "cycle of poverty"

After perusing a few stores yesterday, I ended up buying (drastically on sale) a linen jacket and pants thing in Banana Republic. It's amazing that in only 3 pairs of the pants left, and buried among hundreds of other styles and colors, they had my size. It's a light taupe/creme color, and should have a shelf life till about October, which isn't very long, but what else can you wear in August? It's not as funky as I'd hoped, but at least I'll still have that rumpled artist look.
I didn't knit a stitch last night so must get on some of that today. It's a gorgeous gorgeous day and I fear I'm wasting it. I should head up to Central Park or something. But then I also haven't worked out all week. Dilemmas. I have finished what work I need to do today though, so it's all free and clear from here on. Unless clients have changes.

SPACHO is the epitome of the Mediterranean Diet
(PRWEB) December 18, 2012
The epitome of the "Mediterranean Diet" due to its unique ingredients, SPACHO is a next-generation veggie juice and a delicious alternative to current offerings. It's also a healthy meal replacement option for on-the-go enjoyment. SPACHO is made with selectively-sourced tomatoes, cucumbers and bell peppers; and seasoned with extra-virgin olive oil, sherry wine vinegar, garlic, onion, sea salt, cumin and pepper. High in potassium, fiber and lycopene, SPACHO is also a good source of vitamins A, C and E and helps maintain optimal cardiovascular health due to its olive oil content.
FreshForward™ Beverages founder and president Romano Palenzona, a successful restaurateur who sought a more savory vegetable juice, created SPACHO from an authentic Andalusian gazpacho recipe. Adrian Criscaut, award-wining international journalist, joined Palenzona as co-founder and VP of sales. They are life-long friends having met when they were just 5 years old.
The New Beverage Showdown is a competition where more than 20 start-up companies pitch their product to a panel of judges comprised of industry veterans. It takes place as part of BevNET Live, a semi-annual two-day conference for the US beverage industry, with an emphasis on entrepreneurial companies. It is sponsored by Venturing and Emerging Brands (VEB), a dedicated operating unit of Coca-Cola North America, charged with identifying high-potential growth brands. The event was held on Dec. 3 and 4 at the Loews Beach Hotel in Santa Monica, California.
SPACHO is coming to you soon… It will be available in 2013 in gourmet and specialty markets throughout the East Coast as part of its initial roll-out phase.

First, here is a copy of a letter I just wrote to editor of the Washington Post:
I recently read a report by an Arlington Wiccan priestess who was denied clergy status by the clerk of the court for the 17th Judicial District (primarily the city of Falls Church, VA).
I am a Roman Catholic, and do not share Ms. Literata Hurley's faith, however I find the incident disturbing.
Ms. Hurley was denied Clergy status by Paul Ferguson, Clerk of the Court, primarily because her congregation does not have a physical church. They meet at member's houses and outside. I suspect he may have had other motives (he indicated there were other, unnamed reasons), but that is the only concrete reason he provided.
I immediately thought of Saint Francis, whose order owns nothing worldly. Even the churches and monasteries they use today are not theirs, and I thought, "This man would have denied Saint Francis clergy status."
I sheepishly admit that it took me a bit to remember that Saint Francis struggled every day to emulate someone else, and in my opinion serves as a the greatest example of walking in Christ's path.
It is with tears in my eyes that I write to you and point out that in Virginia, perhaps the birthplace of true religious freedom (thank you Mr. Jefferson) a government official denied clergy status to a woman for supplying the same answers to his questions that Jesus might have.
I encourage Mr. Ferguson to reconsider his decision, and I encourage the Post to ask him if he will.
Semper Fi,
Terry Mahoney
Here is a link to Ms. Hurley's account of the situation
There are three reasons I can think of for you, dear reader, to be unmoved by Ms. Hurley's problem.
1) Apathy towards religion in general – I use apathy here, but I might include antipathy. I get it. I have faith, but my path was circuitous to get here, and while I won't try to convert you, I would point out that this is an issue of basic rights. This one government offiicial is making an arbitrary decision that will impact many people's lives. I can't know his thoughts or feelings, but I am disturbed by theprima facieevidence indicating a judgment dismissing the validity of her religion. What if said arbitrary decision impacted you, in the form of a building permit, or some other secular issue?
2) Not particularly inclined to respect Wicca – I do not believe in Wicca. I struggle with the mutually exclusive nature of religions, and have a more nuanced position than my church, but I don't spend time trying to work Wicca into my life. If there was no Wicca, it wouldn't negatively impact me that I can tell. But that is beside the point; we are a secular society and we have a law that respects all faiths. Thomas Jefferson probably didn't have Wicca in mind when he wrote Virginia's statute on religious freedom, but that is immaterial. Religious freedom is a fundamental right enshrined in our society. I know the 1st Amendment's wording refers only to Congress making laws impacting religion, but our courts have wisely chosen to infer the implied protection down to all levels of government, and all kinds of religions.
3) You are a wise-ass who likes to respond to passion with sarcasm – Guilty as charged. I welcome your snark. But consider simultaneously emailing the editor of the Post at firstname.lastname@example.com . They are the most influential regional paper and can make a difference. So snark away, but send this:
Dear Editor,
I read about Literata Hurley's rejection of Clergy Status by the Clerk of the Court in Arlington County. I think it is disturbing and hypocritical that she would be rejected on essentially the same grounds that Jesus would be, particularly in Virginia, the birthplace of religious freedom.
Very Truly Yours,
Snarky McSnark

Fish Heads Fish Heads, roly poly Fish heads....
That crazy song has been stuck in my head all week!
No field trip today but I thought I would share a picture of the fruit salad I made with dinner tonight. Hubby and I LOVE fruit and its almost gone LOL with just us two eating it. I made a quiche too.
I had my yearly visit with my Cardiologist this week. I think I confound him really. My EF is way up there in normal range now and 4 years ago it was 20%. He really thought I would go the other way and get worse so while my good numbers thrill me, he quickly reminds me that I am not cured or healed and it will never be healed with all the scar tissue in my heart and not to get overly confident. He was really not happy about the diabetes diagnosis on top of this. BUT my bloodwork showed 77 fasting blood sugar and I am keeping good control on that. But I am happy with things, I do not EVER want to go thru Heart Failure again, its not fun at all.
I also had to go to the family doc today, the kidney infection from 2 weeks never really got better so she changed my antibiotic. Hopefully this will kick it out this time!
I know this is boring, all my medical stuff but its pretty much my life right now. Blech. Luckily the Lupus and Neuropathy have kept a low profile this week.
I lost 2 more lbs, total loss is 39 lbs now. This may be TMI but my underwear is really sagging on me LOL I guess I need to go buy some more.
My daughter is back with Long Haired guy, the one that broke her heart last year and she was almost suicidal over the breakup. So I am not thrilled with this. I am not saying alot of negative things, because she will clam up and not talk to me if I do, and also its her life, her decisions. It just hurts me so bad to see her hurting so bad. He BETTER treat her right this time. He has ditched her twice before, 3 strikes and he is OUT.

NORFOLK, Va. - Navy officials say a ruptured pipe at Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek in Virginia spilled about 60,000 gallons (230,000 litres) of liquid sewage into the surrounding harbour.
The Virginian-Pilot reported that security workers found liquid under a door at a Navy pump station about 4 a.m. Thursday. Crews stopped the spill by 8:30 a.m.
Officials said the accidental discharge does not pose a significant public health risk.
Navy officials said in a statement that they do not yet know what caused the pipe break and are working to assess repairs.
It is the major operating base for the amphibious forces in the Navy's Atlantic fleet.

GENEVA (Reuters) - China lost its bid to overturn U.S. legislation targeting unfair trade subsidies on Thursday, its second defeat in a World Trade Organization dispute within 24 hours.
A WTO dispute panel threw out China's claim that the U.S. "Public Law 112-99", signed by President Barack Obama in March 2012, broke world trade rules.
"The WTO panel's decision to reject China's challenge to our law is a significant victory for the United States," U.S. Trade Representative Michael Froman said in a statement.
"The WTO report preserves the ability of the United States to remedy unfair subsidies and dumping by China, for the benefit of American businesses and workers."
However, Froman said he was disappointed that China won another part of the case, in which the WTO ruled the United States had been wrong to punish some Chinese exports twice over - once for being subsidized and once for being "dumped", or sold at unfairly cheap prices.
"However, the panel's concerns relate to certain past determinations, and U.S. law now directs the Department of Commerce to investigate any possible overlap," Froman said.
China welcomed the panel's stance on the double counting in 25 U.S. trade investigations against Chinese exports between 2006 and 2012.
"The case has involved an annual export value of over $7.2 billion which implicates significant trade interests of China," China's Ministry of Commerce said in a statement.
The U.S. tariffs affected photovoltaic cells and modules used in solar power, various steel products, off-road tires and aluminum goods, as well as towers for windfarms.
China launched the complaint in September 2012, an apparent tit-for-tat move that came just hours after the United States lodged a complaint against China's support for car exports.
The U.S. "Public Law 112-99", also known as the "GPX fix", was rushed through after Chinese companies including GPX International Tire successfully argued at the U.S. Court of International Trade that the United States could not punish Chinese trade subsidies because China was not a market economy.
China's Commerce Ministry said it regretted the WTO's decision to uphold the retroactive U.S. law.
Both sides have 60 days to appeal the ruling, which came a day after China lost a WTO dispute over its restrictions on exports of rare earth metals, tungsten and molybdenum.

Among the accusations ever leveled at me, exhibiting a command of math and chemistry are not to be found. I'm running a series of tests with D-23, from N+2 to extra-compensating, in both tray and rotary tank (Jobo on a Uniroller). I'd like to be sure I'm not introducing an unrealized variable in my dilutions. My weekly available time for photography, at present, is constrained.
D-23 capacity, straight, is listed at the equivalent of 16 4x5s per liter (4 8x10s, 320 sq. in.). My question is the minimum amount of this stock solution required when it's diluted; I've been unable to find a clear answer. Specifically, I would think that a liter a working solution of 1:1 would then process 8 (one-shot), one of 1:2 would process 4 and one of 1:3 would process 2. Therefore, my logic runs, a could process only 1 sheet in a half-liter of 1:3; that would be 4 ounces of stock in that working solution to process a single 4x5 sheet. Is that right?
What I have seen often in posts on various sites, is suggestions like, "Well, I would double the total working solution at that dilution, to avoid early exhaustion..."
Since my calculation methods are not infrequently flawed, I will grateful for any scientific correction.

Tsar of diamonds worth $2 million found in Sakha Republic
The new 235.17 carat diamond was found the same 'Yubileynaya' pipe where another large gem was obtained in February 2013. The new discovery is on display at the Aikhal mining and processing plant, part of Alrosa.
Emma Kim, head of production, said: 'The transparent diamond, with a yellowish tint, weighs 235.17 carats with proportions 42x26x28 millimetres. It is chopped crystal in the form of an octahedron'.
Gems with such a delicate yellow tint are extremely rare, say experts. The earlier large diamond found in the same location this year was 145.44 carats and measured 35x20x26 mm.
Alrosa is this month launching a 16% float that is expected to put its value at $10 billion. Interest in the stock has been expressed already by major international players including a fund linked to the Anglo-American diamonds miner and trader De Beers and top Chinese investors, say media reports.
Alrosa, based in Sakha Republic, also known as Yakutia, in eastern Siberia, accounts for around a quarter of global diamond production, and has reserves of almost 1.30 billion carats.
Alrosa chief executive Fyodor Andreyev said the share issue 'will expand our access to the international capital markets and help to unlock the value of the company'. It is seen as a key step in ambitious plans to grow and develop this iconic Siberian name.

Samantha, a sculptor pretending to be a painter pretending to be a lady of leisure pretending to be a sculptor, grew up in Brockton just south of Boston. Her work has been impacted by these roots, and is expressed through her choices of materials and content. As a multimedia artist, she engages with weaving, needle work, and sewing as a survival mechanism, aesthetic, and conceptual strategy.

My Northern velomobile ride
As I turn right for the road past the golf course I immediately think that I'd better taken the next turn. This road has a layer of fresh snow and the 'rubber band effect' reduces me, to leader of the group, to riding 12km/h. Everybody seems to manage this part and where quickly back on to black tarmac again.
Who we think of as the 'slowest' rider gets a spot right behind me, there where the speed of the group is the lowest. Later on it turns out that he's pretty strong because he has no problem at all to keep up with me. He just needed some time to warm up. One rider was riding his first proper velomobile ride and he did struggle a bit in the end to keep up with the rest. But we're not in a hurry and he becomes my new 'anchor'. He was riding a test ride Mango, so he didn't have to chance to fully adept to a VM and vice versa.
Quest rider and experienced recumbent racer Jan Marcel does an excellent job as my wing man. He notices it when people fall back in the group and than 'rides shotgun' to tell me what's going on way behind me. In the meantime back home, my parents are doing an excellent job at preparing the 2 kinds of soup for after the ride.
As we pull in for our lunch stop another Quest rider shows up. I recognize him, it's Stefan from Enschede. He sort misjudged the snow and didn't make on time to ride with us from the beginning. Anyway, he was up to steam now after having ridden about 100km.
There a tiny bit of rain as we continue or ride. The wide concrete cycle paths are clean most of the time. We take the main road if they're not. As be approach the world famous TT circuit south of Assen the group speeds up a bit. The asphalt on the main road is so utterly smooth that some riders can't withstand it. And why not? It's legal, there's hardly any traffic on a day like this and it's great fun.
When our group of 14 is almost in the city centre I decide to stop for some group photo's in front of the museum. There are very few people on the streets and the few who are, naturally, surprised by the sight of 14 brightly coloured vehicles.
With less than 4km to go we leave the museum and I lead the group over another street covered with slushy snow. To my surprise, nobody gets stuck. Back at where we started Q rider Georg has the crazy idea of riding through a pile of snow, hard, solid, shoved snow. He fails and tips over. Nobody or nothing gets hurt and everybody has a laugh.
The soup is tasteful and everybody has some new stories to tell. We had true velomobile weather and some of us learned new things.
I didn't had time to make a video, luckily David and Wilfred did have. Alex was our photographer. He's planning to make a selection out of these 193 photo's.

Thanks for organizing this ride. Just a few weeks and I'll have my very own velomobile, a block Sinner Mango+.ReplyDelete
Hi PeterReplyDelete
Looks like it was an absolutly wonderful ride with a wonderful group of people.
One day perhaps I will be able to join you and the Huneliggers on such a ride.
What does Huneliggers mean in English?
In Alex's pictures there were a couple of a plaque or sign in four different languages, "please Do Not Touch" with a contact number for Jan-Marcel.
Is this a sign that Jan-Marcel has on his velomobile?
Just curious.
All The Best
David Whitmon
Thanks, your welcome.ReplyDelete
'Hune' is derived from hunebed, something very typical for our province. (http://pjotr320.blogspot.com/2010/01/grave.html) 'ligger' is someone in a recumbent position.
The sign is something Jan Marcel has on the small foam cover of his Quest.

Gardens are magical. Whether a formal garden with carefully arranged flowers, trees, shrubs and decorations or a humble backyard vegetable patch, there is something about a garden that causes the visitor to breathe deeply, pause and admire and feel life.
If a garden is planted with poor seeds or sickly plants it will be hard to cultivate and difficult to harvest good things.
I know a woman, though, who waits until the last of the gardening sales to buy half dead plants at the lowest prices. She has a limited budget and a grand plan. Then she takes them home, plants them in good soil, fertilizes and nurtures them and with much time an devotion they revive and bloom and by the end of the growing season you would never know how her garden started differently than her neighbors.
Perhaps we have sown poor seeds. Perhaps we have offered withered plants of kindness and generosity. Perhaps if we "soweth to the Spirit," if we water our offerings in the love of Christ and the mercy of God perhaps we shall "reap life everlasting."

Die Like A Man: Police Paranormal
How one man survived the deadly vendetta of a paranormal assassins guild and took the law into his own hands
Behind the badge is an assassin. Behind the assassin is a monster with scars to hell and back. Alistair Rohan is not a modern day hero, he is a man on a mission -- intolerant of bullies, liars, and predatory abusers of the weak. The difference for this hard charging vigilante lies in the reason his father put him in a crucible that should have killed him. No one should have been able to endure the torture, much less survive to become a police officer. It was as though his own father thought he was a demon that needed to be destroyed. In Rohan's darkest days he was a contract killer and a human being without a conscience. Now he is in a different place with friends he cares about and a lot of questions to be answered.
Can he face the truth? Why are the people he killed coming for him? Is there ever a chance for redemption, and if there isn't, why should he try?
Die Like A Man is full of dark action and supernatural thrills. There is a reason that Officer Alistair Rohan runs down his enemies with the grim determination of a preternatural monster. Kindle - Paperback - Audiobook (in progress) - Barnes & Noble - Kobo - Apple

The longest journey begins with a single step, or a high-altitude insertion from the extreme upper atmosphere. What could possibly go wrong? Aefel 70391, a proud member of the First Armored-infantry Lightning Division, must find the Emperor's assassin on a forgotten planet populated by blood thirsty Vikings.
Once, long ago when wealthy adventure tourists finally admitted they could not travel back in time, the Grendel Corporation purchased planet 0473829 for cheap and populated it with historical reenactment volunteers. Expenses soared. Bankruptcy followed. Technology went dark. The Earth System Commonwealth Military slowly withdrew protection from the economically and strategically insignificant project.
Seccon 99991, First General and Chief Strongarm of Emperor Dan Uburt-Wesson, disappeared as thoroughly as a myth after committing regicide. A small, but well informed faction of the Earth System Commonwealth Military believe that he has hidden on the primitive — and privately owned — world of Grendel 0473829.
Seccon must die; this is known.
What is the killer seeking in the last corner of human explored space?
Aefel must learn the answer or face permanent exile in the land time pretended to forget.
Proof of Death is a 17,000 word short story, complete as a standalone adventure, but part of the monthly Grendel Uprising series. Please enjoy this short fiction by Scott Moon, author of Enemy of Man, Son of Orlan, and other novels.

Blood Royal
Episode Two of Grendel Uprising
Loyal servants of the Earth System Commonwealth must pick a side. The assassination of Emperor Dan Uburt-Wesson has thrown civilization into chaos and no interim government will have the strength to hold the galactic empire together. Rumors of betrayal and rebellion spread from star system to star system as the real battle begins in the most unlikely place. Official news sources have confirmed that every member of the Imperial family is dead. The formation of a new galactic order is imminent. The Earth System Commonwealth has outlived its usefulness.
Only a handful of powerful people know that Aefel 70391, a decorated veteran of the First Armored-infantry Lightning Division, has located four juveniles that will change history. Can Aefel and his unlikely allies protect the Blood Royal? Has he chosen the wrong side?
Grendel Uprising: Blood Royal sets the stage for a war of rebellion, domination, and what it means to be human in the age of the Earth System Commonwealth.
The Grendel Uprising series combines science fiction and historical fiction. The setting is at once a world similar to England and Scandinavia during the time of the Danelaw and a pan galactic empire of advanced technology and deadly political upheaval. During a more prosperous time, entrepreneurs developed entire worlds as historical reenactment societies and allowed nature to take its course. Financial disaster took the planet of Grendel completely offline. There are precious few men or women who remember how they came to the alien world. Now they will face the godlike destruction of modern warfare.

Garmisch-Partenkirchen: Didier Cuche won his second consecutive World Cup downhill race on a shortened Kandahar course on Saturday.
The 37-year-old Swiss veteran, who is retiring at the end of the season, was coming off his record fifth win in Kitzbuehel, Austria — which was also run on a shortened course.
"I am very proud of this win today," Cuche said.
Cuche`s third downhill victory of the season took him to the top of the event standings.
Erik Guay of Canada finished second on a slope where he won the world championship title last year ahead of Cuche. Hannes Reichelt of Austria was third, leaving his team still without a win in a speed event this season.
Guay, still feeling the effects of a cold, had a rocky run on the course, nearly hitting the snow with his hip, then almost crossing skis and going off his line, but made up in the bottom part. Guay does well in the German resort, where he also clinched the super-G World Cup by winning the last race of the 2010 season.
"I always feel relaxed here, I love skiing here," Guay said. "I took some chances today. I hit the snow with my boot, I thought it would be tough to make it to the finish and I was ecstatic when I saw I was first.
"Didier then beat me today, but it`s only fair because I beat him here last year," Guay said. "I`ve no idea why I do so well here, but I feel relaxed and it`s a course that encompasses everything that a downhill course should have."
Thick fog forced organizers to lower the starting gate, taking a significant chunk out of the classic course — nearly half of the vertical drop — and making the race about 50 seconds shorter.
"It was clear to me early today that they would have to shorten it, the fog was very thick at the top and it wasn`t going away," said Cuche, who also won on the Kandahar course eight years ago.
"It was good to know that we would race and that we would start on time, even if it was shorter," he said.
Cuche covered the 1.17-mile course — down from the normal 2.02 miles — in 1 minute, 9.10 seconds, to beat Guay by 0.27 seconds and Reichelt by 0.30 seconds.
Christof Innerhofer is another skier who seems to thrive on the slope in southern Germany.
The Italian finished in a tie for fourth with Andrej Sporn of Slovenia.
Innerhofer won the super-G gold medal at the world championship last year, silver in the super-combined and bronze in the downhill.
American Bode Miller was penalized for showing up a few minutes late for Friday`s draw and had to start 46th rather than 16th. Miller did well early on the course and was close to Cuche but lost speed at the bottom and finished outside the top 30 who win points.
A super-G is scheduled for Sunday.

The Rotterdam Rail Bridge known as De Hef' ('hef' means lever) is a steel railroad bridge that connects the Noordereiland (Northern Island) in the Maas river with the Southern part of Rotterdam.. The bridge was built in 1877 as a swing bridge to connect railroad traffic in the North of the Netherlands with the South of the Netherlands.
In 1918 a German steamship ran into the swing bridge and the swing bridge was destroyed. It was decided that a lift bridge should replace the swing bridge and in 1927 the current lift bridge was completed. It was the first one if its kind in Western Europe.
In 1993 a 2800 meter railroad tunnel was opened to replace De Hef and other railroad bridges. Today De Hef is not used anymore, although you can still see the railroad tracks at the bridge. The bridge is always open today and is an official monument.
The bridge on the right is a vintage view of the original De Hef' Rail Bridge built in 1877.

Even after plunging almost 40 percent in five months, WTI crude oil prices will continue to fall in coming weeks, according to Oppenheimer senior energy analyst Fadel Gheit.
"Most likely this is not a bottom. Most likely we'll see oil prices going lower," Gheit said Tuesday on CNBC's "Futures Now." "The same traders and speculators that took oil prices from $95 to $70 will also be able to take oil prices from $70 to $60, or even $55."
Gheit said it's difficult to put a number on the bottom, because "once you get to a certain level you are going to see a lot of speculation. Speculation usually overheats oil prices on the way up, and really brings them down hard on the way down."

Subwavelength structures in photonic devices - Patterning of dielectric materials by shaped femtosecond laser pulses
Optical elements with structures smaller than the target wavelenth provide unique effects which base mainly on two principles. Guided-mode resonances in slab waveguides that are introduced by a periodic nanostructure are applied for narrowband spectral filters or polarizers. Furthermore, structures with dimensions far below the targeted wavelength are used to generate artificial refractive indices.
In this case light waves average the material properies of volume elements which consist to a certain ratio of base material and subwavelength air holes. Goal of this research project is the investigation on fabrication methods for these sub-100 nm structures using fs-laser pulses. In particular this approach owns a clear advantage and high potential regarding dielectric materials which are commonly used in all fields of optics. There are no charging problems as they are known from most established process, e.g. electron beam lithography.The research project is focused on narrowband optical filters for the visible spectral range, based on the guided-mode resonance effect and photonic crystal structures having a artificially generated, gradually varying refractive index distribution. Additionally, selective material processing of thin films and a thorough comparative study with the standard fabrication methods are adressed.
These investigations are subject of our close cooperation with the group of Prof. Baumert as part of the DFG Priority Program 1327 - "Optisch erzeugte Sub-100-nm-Strukturen für biomedizinische und technische Applikationen"

Last night was another remarkable World of Alidor session, featuring the slaying of no less than two dragons, one of which was also a lich. Gruul the Archer shot a foe so hard it knocked over the giant pine tree behind the guy. Dix the Warmage was lighting off fireballs like there was no tomorrow. And Kane Bloodtiger slid down icy slopes all John Woo style, firing his bow along the way. Andrew, the new guy, eased concerns about letting a lawful monk join the party by having his guy booze it up before the fight. And he doesn't even have levels in Drunken Master yet.
But I am going to be a selfish jerk and give myself the Badass Moment of the Night Award. Osric the Slayer was busting some fools with his flail when the dracolich popped up on the scene. On my next initiative I handed my flail to one of my opponents, deadpanned "Play time's over kids. Time for daddy to go to work." and charged the dracolich while drawing my greatsword. I am still patting myself on the back for that move. It's soooooo reeks of 80's action movie machismo.
Telling y'all how awesome I am is only one of the reasons I am writing this post today. I really want to talk about this great new method for making memorable villains I swiped from Jon, the Alidor DM. Well, maybe I didn't swipe this method. I inferred it from playing his game. He might not be consciously using 3 Step Villains, but they are one of the things that makes his game rock on toast.
It's a simple technique. Start with a basic type of critter that could be seen in your campaign, one of those archetypal encounters that people have been using since the stone age. Here's the examples from Jon's game: Orc, Merchant, and Halfling. Now modify these basic encounters with a word or phrase that is not normally associated with the basic encounter. Don't be afraid to go far afield in this step. You want something that can be justified in some way but on the surface it can make no damn sense. This should give you something like Metrosexual Orcs, Hextor-Worshipping Merchant, and Cannibal Halfings. Now do that again, making sure the new modification has nothing to do with the original word or the first modification. Now you're sitting pretty on Soulblade Metrosexual Orcs, a Hextor-Worshipping Merchant Grandma, and last night's encounter, the Cannibal Halfling Dracolich-Minions.
Now I'll bust out three examples of my own. We'll start with Ogres, a Wizard, and Elves. Let's make the Ogres into Ogrish Minstrels, the Wizard becomes a Wizardly Sports Fan (he follows chariot races or knightly tournaments or whatever), and the Elves become Elf Slavers. Now for the last step we transform the Ogrish Minstrels into Ogrish Minstrel Kidnappers, the Wizardly Sports Fan becomes a Wizardly Sports Fan Usurper, and the Elf Slavers become Undead Elf Slavers.
Brainstorming that out took maybe 5 or 10 minutes. Now some of your results will look like nonsensical garbage. Don't throw those out; they might very well be your best ideas. The key to making them work is to build a plausible explanation for how the three disparate elements fit together. Let's take the roughest of my examples, the Ogrish Minstrel Kidnappers, and try to flesh it out. How did these ogres learn their minstrel skills? Perhaps they come from a hidden realm where the ogres are civilized. Encountering these guys could be a good hook for a later adventure where the PCs try to find their homeland. How can they be successful kidnappers when ogres aren't exactly trusted in most communities? Two solutions spring to mind. These ogres might have some sort of magic that allows them to appear human. But a more intriguing solution would be that the ogres are visiting the lands of other monsters such as regular ogres or orcs or hill giants. The kidnapping victims are monsters themselves. How cool would that be! And why are these ogre minstrels kidnapping orc children or whatever? That's the easiest question of all: they're selling the little green tots to the Undead Elf Slavers, of course!

Very tired this morning, so I decided to finally try this tea that I bought in Montana. There was a brief discussion on the high caffeine content of white teas recently, so I figured maybe this one would perk me up.
The dry leaf smells very highly flavored, and not quite in a good way. It took me a minute but then I remembered where I had smelled this before… 52teas Earl Black, which is also a white tea-black currant combo. This tea is called huckleberry and it has huckleberries, but it also has black currant as well. I love black currant black teas (and really nearly everything black currant), but I had problems with that tea.
Steeped it smells similar, though a bit toned down. For some reason this combo smells to me like grape medicine (not black currants unfortunately), and it is being born out here as well. The flavor is not quite so grapey in this one (maybe the huckleberry is helping?), but it's certainly candy-ish. Why is it so hard to flavor a white tea with berries and have it taste authentic? Anyway, robust, dark berries like black currants and huckleberries seem like they go better with a nice black base. I guess I know to avoid black currant + white tea in the future. Also, this is supposed to be huckleberry, not black currant, and I am disappointed that black currant is predominant here.
I may try cold steeping this one to see if it's any better balanced. Glad the tin I bought of this is small.

After the placidly broken up cumin seeds have been steeped for ten to twenty minutes, you should strain out the herbaceous plant seeds and raise the roof the cumin tea. Drink one or two cups of the herb tea a day to lend a hand divest the enlargement and redness. Sip the fluid piece it is hot. Drink after a sustenance.
Cumin is believed to aid in the digestion of iron. If you have an iron need you may impoverishment to try every herb tea. So this is also honourable for women who are ill. Iron helps body-build body fluid cells.
Cumin is as well great if you have symptom or gas. If you are having friction next to unsettled stomach or gas you may want to try quite a lot of herb tea to relieve relieve the stomach ache or gas. This is what IBS sufferers cognize.Post ads:
