Lady Gaga's tweets were getting a lot of attention ahead of her Buenos Aires concert Friday night.
The Grammy-winning entertainer has more than 30 million followers on Twitter and that's where she shared a link this week to a short video showing her doing a striptease and fooling around in a bathtub with two other women.
She told her followers that it's a "surprise for you, almost ready for you to TASTE."
U.S. & World
Then, in between concerts in Brazil and Argentina, she posted a picture Thursday on her Twitter page showing her wallowing in her underwear and impossibly high heels on top of the remains of what appears to be a strawberry shortcake.
"The real CAKE isn't HAVING what you want, it's DOING what you want," she tweeted.
Lady Gaga wore decidedly unglamorous baggy jeans and a blouse outside her Buenos Aires hotel Thursday as three burly bodyguards kept her fans at bay. Another pre-concert media event where she was supposed to be given "guest of honor" status by the city government Friday afternoon was cancelled.
After Argentina, she is scheduled to perform in Santiago, Chile; Lima, Peru; and Asuncion, Paraguay, before taking her "Born This Way Ball" tour to Africa, Europe and North America.

In defiance of gravity, water from the Animas River is piped 600 feet up the hillside from Santa Rita Park to Lake Nighthorse reservoir.
The pumps are so powerful that they could suck the Animas River dry.
Almost two years after the reservoir was filled in June 2011, local government officials have not allowed kayaking, bird watching or mountain biking on the 5,500-acre site.
Lake Nighthorse might be a case of politics proving to be a bigger obstacle than the laws of physics.
About two miles from downtown Durango, the lake is a temptation for all kinds of outdoor enthusiasts, but it is not yet accessible to the public. Officials now are saying 2014, but they have delayed the opening before.
To venture onto the property without permission literally is a federal offense, although judging by footprints and pawprints, people and their dogs apparently have made the trek.
"We've had to chase out people with kayaks and canoes," said Tyler Artichoker, facilities manager for the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation.
When explaining to the public why the lake is not open for recreation, at least three politicians - Durango city councilors Sweetie Marbury and Christina Rinderle and council candidate Dean Brookie - respond that they're itching to take their watercraft to the lake, too.
"I was hoping for 2013 (opening of the lake)," Marbury said at a recent council meeting. "I had my rubber boat ready to go. Hang on, Durango."
After budgeting almost $200,000 to open the lake this summer, Durango Parks and Recreation Director Cathy Metz laid out a series of complications that has moved the goal of opening the lake to the summer of 2014.
The city first must annex the land so it can provide law enforcement.
The Bureau of Reclamation must approve a lease agreement with the city and do an environmental assessment of the city's master recreation plan, which was developed after much public input and consensus building about the kinds of recreation to allow. Jet skis are out. The master plan calls for a "family beach" to distinguish it from other kinds of beaches.
The bureau's environmental assessment then must be made available for public comment, which is expected to happen in April.
Once the bureau signs off on the lease agreement, the city plans to get assistance from the Colorado National Guard for help with land clearing. An entrance station and boat-inspection area also must be built with funding from a state grant.
Why the city of Durango is trying to coordinate with federal and state agencies about a lake that is outside city limits is indicative of the long and complicated history of the Animas-La Plata Water Project.
Delays and cancellations are a hallmark of the project, the planning for which initially was approved by Congress in 1956 but whose construction did not begin until 2003.
The project, which was to settle water claims with Native Americans and provide a stable resource of water for municipal and industrial purposes, involved so much intrigue that former U.S. Sen. Gary Hart was inspired to write a pot-boiler novel called Durango.
Today, the lake is overseen by an association board representing seven governmental entities, including four regional water commissions/conservation boards and three tribes - the Navajo Nation, the Southern Utes and the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe.
"If you can name a governmental entity, it has a stake in Lake Nighthorse," Rinderle said.
In planning for the lake, the city has tried to make sure "we're sensitive to the interests involved and not be presumptuous," she said.
Jason John, chairman of the lake's association board and a representative for the Navajos' interest, declined to comment for this story.
The lake originally was supposed to be a state park, but the city had to step in when the economy collapsed and the state no longer could afford the project.
Some question the wisdom of the city taking on the responsibility. Ron Meier, a member of the Durango Planning Commission, has pointed out that the city cannot keep acquiring playgrounds.
City officials said they plan to charge entrance fees to recover 90 percent of the operating costs with the balance shared by the Bureau of Reclamation and the city.
In addition, Colorado Parks and Wildlife has cooperated in funding a boat ramp, stocking the lake with fish and preparing for an inspection area to check boats for invasive species, said Joe Lewandowski, public information officer.
Artichoker clarified that the federal agency that manages the lake is "not in the recreation business. It's not our expertise."
It also would take an "act of Congress" to change the Bureau of Reclamation's mission so it could manage the lake for recreation, he said.
Artichoker said he would assume that federal budget problems have precluded other federal agencies from getting involved.
Things were not always so because the Bureau of Reclamation and the U.S. Park Service jointly opened another big reservoir for public recreation within months of the completion of its dam, according to the Park Service.
The Boulder Dam Recreation Area, now known as the Lake Mead National Recreation Area and associated with the renamed Hoover Dam near Las Vegas, opened in 1936 in the middle of the Great Depression.

The Agile Holocracy
The word holocracy popped up in Dilbert this week, used incorrectly as a synonym for both a flat organizational structure and, as the pointy haired boss says, "wander[ing] around." Nonetheless, full-on agile organizations have many of the characteristics of a holocracy, so I think it's worth exploring the concept.
The term holocracy was coined by Artur Koestler in his 1967 book, The Ghost in the Machine, which is actually a discussion of the human brain. Koestler's thinking applies to social organizations as well, however. A holocracy is made up of autonomous, self-reliant units called holons (from the Greek word for "whole"). The holons are simultaneously independent from and dependent on the organization that they comprise. That is, a holocracy is simultaneously a whole and its parts.
Kosetler uses our own brains as an example. The cerebellum (the "reasoning" brain) is largely independent on the amygdala (the so-called "lizard brain"). These two sub-brains operate independently under their own rules, but interact in a way that allows the whole system to behave both coherently and in a way that you couldn't predict from looking at a single subsystem. This is a kind of emergence; the coherent behavior that arises from the complex interactions of the rules and strategies of the independent holons is more sophisticated than behavior of the parts. The ghost is the thing that you can't predict just by looking at the parts.
Koestler also points out that when one subsystem dominates, the whole system can become pathological. When your lizard brain hears a loud noise and says "panic!," your cerebellum counters with, "no, that's just an electric guitar and a gazillion-watt amp" and overrides it. The synthesis is a feeling of excitement that the concert's starting. If the lizard brain wins, everybody in the stadium gets trampled.
The notion of holocracy works well in agile organizations. In fact, I'd say that some level of holocratic structure is essential. Independent units — teams or individulals — are responsible for specific organizational roles, and interact with one another in a synergistic (to use an overused word) way. A person is holon, and so is a team. Each holon is both independent and part of the whole. Each holon is responsible for itself, but is also responsible for the success of the whole organization. The holons carry out well-defined roles, and are responsible for doing whatever they have to do to succeed in those roles. Nobody orders anybody around. The teams and the people are responsible for defining and executing their own tasks.
Getting back to Dilbert, holocratic organizations do have a flat hierarchy. They are peer-to-peer networks, not trees, and there's no place for any sort of "middle management." The executives are the organization's lizard brain: They set the direction and support the broad culture. The teams are the cerebellum: Thinking out the details and getting the processes to work. The synthesis of those roles yields a functional agile organization. If either holon is dominant (that is, if agile practice exists without a supporting culture, or if the executives perpetuate command-and-control, or if the teams get to do everything they want without regard to budget or scope), everybody gets trampled.
There isn't even a "CEO" in the captain-of-the-ship sense. Instead, the holons (both people and teams) communicate with each other in order to tune what they're doing. In the same way that people talk to each other, teams interact horizontally. For example, teams can "inject" members into other teams. Spotify, for example, has a "guild" system. All the database folks from all of the teams get together occasionally for Database-Guild meetings, and so forth. Think of this arrangement as a database-guild holon that injects members into the development-team holons.
Holocratic organizations aren't fantasies. Probably the most well known is W.L. Gore, Inc., as described in Malcolm Gladwell's Tipping Point. There are no formal titles and no hierarchical structure. People have "sponsors," but nobody reports to anybody.
The main objections to the viability of a holocracy seem to come from people who confuse holocracy with anarchy — everybody doing whatever they want. That's not what I'm describing. A holocracy is highly disciplined. You take your responsibilities seriously, and work hard both to be effective and to make everybody else successful. Communication and collaboration are central to both functions, so everybody does that.
Similarly, holocracy is not Communism. The people who contribute more are rewarded accordingly. However, compensation has to be transparent and rational. Secrets undermine the collaborative nature of the system.
Dysfunction happens when one holon becomes dominant. An out-of-control "executive" holon, for example, can destroy the agility of the organization. I've seen teams, departments, and whole companies brought to their knees by pathological "leaders" intent on dominating, who think that somebody has to "run" things. The mandates that come from these people do nothing but add dysfunction. I'm not talking about micromanagement, which is also a sort of disease. Dysfunction happens any time somebody can't do something because they need permission, or won't do something because they're afraid of some repercussion. The holons (teams and individuals) must be empowered to fulfill their roles.
Of course, there's no reason for some of the holons not to be tasked with the health of others. For example, one responsibility of the "executive" holon is to assure that that company has an effective internal culture. If a team becomes dysfunctional, the "executive" holon's job is to help the team heal, not by ordering people around, but by providing training, mentorship, etc. If that doesn't work, though, the "executive" holon could act like an antibody. The immune system is part of a healthy brain. The core value in a holocracy is trust. Hierarchical command/control organizations are built on mistrust. They assume that nobody beneath you in the hierachy is truly self sufficient and competent, so they impose paternalistic governance practices that force these assumed-incompetent players to behave. A holocracy trusts everybody to do their work in the best way possible.
Since trust and assumed competence are also firmly ingrained in the Agile Principles, there's a good match here. Everybody's got to be a grownup, though. I once heard Aliestar Cockburn answer the criticism "your methods won't work in the real world because they require nothing but A players" by saying that making good software always requires A players, regardless of your process. I agree.
As a final note, Holacracy.org adapted Kosteler's notions into a social/organizational milieu, and serves as an interesting example of another functional variant of an holocracy. Everybody in the Holacracy.org is literally (in the legal sense) a partner. There are no bosses, and there is no CEO. I'm not a huge fan of Holocracy.org's formalization, but they're prominent enough to deserve mention. For one thing, I'm offended by the way that Holacracy.org has trademarked Kosetler's term. The trademark isn't enforceable, given prior use, but they have no right to set themselves up as the arbiter of somebody else's idea. It's like somebody trademarking "agile." Moreover, I don't particularly like their fixed rules (documented in a Constitution), which seems to me to fly in the face of the core principle of self organization.
I've said this before, but agile is a culture, not a set of practices. It is upper management's job to establish that culture, and then let it work. A holocratic organization is one of the better ways to do that.

I heard last night that Fuck You Bob was dead and it made me sad.
The Record Pub website put up this obituary about Bob. The Kent Patch put up an article about his memorial service. And Nick Rock put together this video tribute to him.
Bob's friends are making an effort to put the proper spin on his life as an artist and his contributions to the town as a philosopher and intellectual. I appreciate that. I think it's a good thing. But the tribute-makers seem to want to avoid the one thing that most people remember best about Bob. And that is the fact that Bob Wood walked around Kent, Ohio for decades telling people to fuck off.
I first encountered Bob when I was a freshman at Kent State University. I was sitting in one of the big lecture halls one night to see a movie. It was some sort of indie artsy film. Maybe Eraserhead or something along those lines. I don't remember the movie at all, though. What I remember is Fuck You Bob.
I was there with Mick Hurray, the drummer of Zero Defex. Bob was directly in front of us. And he kept giving us the finger. He never turned around. He never said anything. He just flipped us the bird over and over. And he was doing it in a really weird way. He kept turning his hands at different angles (he was giving it to us with both hands) so as to make certain we got his message.
We thought this was hilarious. So we gave him the finger back. I'm not sure if he saw this, though. Like I said, he never turned around. We weren't angry or offended at all. It was much too weird for that.
Throughout my time as a student at Kent State I saw Fuck You Bob around town. He had a load of bizarre behaviors. For example, I once saw him walking down the middle of a busy street. Every time a car would come by, he'd jump up on the sidewalk and wait for it to pass. Then he'd get back into the road and continue walking.
Several years after this I moved back to Kent after living in Chicago for a while. I was walking down Franklin Avenue from downtown toward the Kent Zendo, where I lived. I saw Fuck You Bob coming my way. I wondered what he was going to do. He didn't say anything as he passed me, didn't even give me the finger. And I found myself being a little offended at this. He said "fuck you" to everyone else in town. He'd even said "fuck you" to me on more than one occasion. Was he snubbing me now? What did I do to him?
But a couple seconds after he passed I heard him say, "Suck my dick." And you know what? I felt good. I'm not even joking. I still remember how nice I felt to have been told by Fuck You Bob to suck his dick. If he hadn't said anything to me that day I'd probably still feel I'd been slighted.
I never encountered Fuck You Bob again after that day. But I remember being in Japan and hearing from friends back home that Bob had gotten better. He was getting his art exhibited around town. He was studying for his Master's degree. And shockingly, he wasn't saying "fuck you" quite as often anymore. Though I was relieved to hear that he still did it sometimes.
Bob had a lot of what most people think of as "mental diseases." A lot of people said he had Tourette's Syndrome. But I never heard of anyone having officially made that diagnosis. Still, he was an odd character.
I always wondered if his habit of telling people to fuck off ever got him in real trouble. Kent State University is not one of those schools that attract the best and the brightest this nation has to offer. Heck, I even went there! One of these days I'll tell you about my first roommate. God that guy was as dumb as a box of putty. If Fuck You Bob was flipping the bird to guys like that, especially when they were drunk, which they always were, he was surely getting the crud beat out of him on a regular basis. I hope he was at least targeting wimps like me who weren't likely to get very mad at him.
The concept of mental disease is an interesting one. We know enough about the proper functioning of the kidneys or the bladder or the spleen to be able to diagnose when they're working incorrectly. But when it comes to the brain, things get a bit murkier.
Take someone like Bob. In many ways it would be easy to dismiss him as crazy. But from what I can tell and from what I've heard he lived pretty much the life he wanted to live. He was by all accounts a very intelligent and even kind person. He probably had no desire at all to fit in with regular society. And he didn't. I admire him for finding a way to live his life on his own terms.
He was also, from what I've heard, kind of a pain in the ass to people who knew him. I don't know the details. But I can guess. I mean, for gosh sakes he was saying "fuck you" to everybody in town all the time. That alone is hard to deal with.
One of the things Zen has helped me with is my own tendency to be a sort of Fuck You Bob type character. My difficulties in dealing with society are not as deep seated as his were. But I too have some serious problems reconciling what I know to be true with the bullshit most people seem to believe. I could have easily gone in a direction that would have ended me up in much the same shape as Bob. The Zen thing helped me be able to laugh at the collective illusions society shares and yet still play the game well enough to get by.
This is why I get so annoyed when some people try to turn Zen into what most religions these days have become, a way to placate people so they're numb enough to function as cogs in the social machine. It's not about that.
To me it's about finding your inner Fuck You Bob and making peace with that. But without killing it off or boxing it up either. That's also important.
I'll miss Fuck You Bob. I wish I could've met him just once and sat down and told him how much it meant to me when he told me to suck his dick. I really wonder what he'd have said. Maybe he'd have told me to fuck off.

iOS apps tend to play things fast and loose with users' personal data compared to Android apps, according to a study from risk assessment company Appthority. The iOS apps studied were more likely overall to collect and share data like contacts, e-mail addresses, and locations, and both platforms' apps tended to send and receive user data without encryption.
Appthority's study looked at 100 free apps, 50 each on Android and iOS in five categories. One hundred percent of the iOS apps were found to send and receive user data unencrypted, while 92 percent of the Android apps did the same.
Not only were iOS apps slightly more cavalier about how they handled data, they tended to collect more of it. Sixty percent of the included iOS apps collected location data compared to 42 percent of Android apps, and 54 percent of iOS apps collected contacts or e-mail addresses while only 20 percent of Android apps did so. Slightly more iOS apps shared user data with ad networks or data analytics companies at 60 percent to Android's 50 percent. The only category where Android edged out iOS was in using single sign-on support (authorizing accounts with Facebook or Twitter), which occurred in 50 percent of Android apps to 50 percent of iOS's.
Even if Android tends to play home to more malware-ridden apps, Appthority states that "less than one percent" of the store's apps host mobile malware. Of course, the caveat here is that only 50 free apps for each platform were studied; Appthority's report may not apply to every developer out there, but it aims to provide a more general look at how user privacy is handled on the respective app stores. Still, in terms of collecting data and handing it in ways that put it at risk of exposure or privacy violations, iOS developers on the whole may be just a bit too uninhibited.

The art of Edward Biberman is currently on view in a special installation, and in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, this Monday, I want to make sure our audiences know about his painting of Dr. King on display. Acquired last June thanks to the generosity of the American Art Council, I Had a Dream was Biberman's response to Dr. King's 1968 assassination. Prominently placed in the exhibition space, Dr. King's eyes are unavoidable and draw you into his vision and the gallery.
Edward Biberman moved from the East Coast to Los Angeles in 1936 and is best known for later paintings such as The White Fire Escape, in LACMA's collection. Such urban scenes reveal his affinity for the seemingly mundane details of midcentury modern architecture, which he illuminated through his attention to the light, shadow, and geometry of both subject matter and composition. But throughout his career he created important figurative paintings of labor, social struggle, and political tension, such as Conspiracy (1955), as well as significant portraiture. His portraits of African American cultural and political leaders are especially noteworthy: he created a monumental portrait of Paul Robeson, and his Lena Horne is in the collection of the National Portrait Gallery where it has graced enormous banners on their façade.
I Had a Dream is unique for Biberman in that it zooms in on the civil rights leader's face. Though we see only Dr. King's eyes, nose, and mustache, his iconic features are instantly recognizable. The searing intensity of his gaze is not confrontational but steadfast and visionary. This is a portrait with which all can connect. A large and powerful painting like I Had a Dream not only represents one of the most important figures of the twentieth century but demonstrates the devastating impact of Dr. King's death on all Americans and can remind us of the significance of his legacy today.

Water, Water Everywhere
it would be a day of rain.
But how could I've predicted
such tumult on its way!
Stroke after stroke I pedaled
with a swift and forceful motion,
but water fell upon me
as if amidst a stormy ocean.
I had a similar experience a few days ago, My train got cancelled and I was stuck with my DL-1, 17 miles from home, in jeans and a suede jacket in the pouring rain and blustery wind. I decided that I was already soaked and that I may as well be warm from riding rather than being cold and wet in a railways station for over an hour. I felt very proud to make it home in a little over an hour. Definitely a bonding experience for me with the bike.ReplyDelete
Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner reference! You are officially my favorite blogger now. Just thought I'd let you know.ReplyDelete
First off, I'm just going to give you big props for the GNR link. What a way to bring me back to not-so-sweet (but sweeter in retrospect) junior high. Awww. :)
We had a day like this on Monday, thankfully I just got a new poncho so I managed to make it home mostly unscathed except for the bottom 6 inches of my legs, which suffered from a puddle that was much deeper than I thought it was :) I've thankfully found that wearing a hat with a brim (which I usually do even when it's not raining) keeps me from getting hit directly in the face with water for the most part, though it is kind of annoying when it starts running off the brim :)
Around here, people always seem to drive faster on normal city roads when it's raining, which is kind of confusing, since they're sitting in comfortable boxes not getting wet. I always try to drive more slowly when it's raining that hard so I don't crash into something, but you know, that's just me.
I was however surprised to note that there were pretty much just as many people as usual out riding on my way home from work. Maybe they just didn't expect the downpour, but had to get home anyway, I dunno. But I have been noticing more and more rainy-weather riders here over the last couple years.
Having a bike that is good for riding in the rain/snow/whatever is indeed essential - since you still have to get around. Having one that likes tea and poetry is an added bonus. Always nice to commiserate or laugh about your ride over a hot cup after returning home.
Ah, I slogged in too and have to slog home and am very grateful for the dynamo lights though i do add front and back flashers as well.
As for lifting a step-thru. I recall reading that way back when (1940's or 50's) there was strap that could be attached to carry the bike over your shoulder so you could carry it upstairs like a diamond frame. For some reason, I remember this in connection with Italian city living but I have no idea where I came across it.
Also, watching that video again makes my eyes water a little bit with embarrassment. Ah, the '90s.ReplyDelete
I know, the Ancient Mariner and Guns 'n Roses in the same post - I am so well-rounded : ))
portlandize - We must be the same age. This was early junior high for me, before the transition to the Pixies and Nirvana. Of course later I denied ever liking GNR or thinking that Axl (and Stephanie Seymour!) was hot...
Anon 6:45 - Today they have these plastic top tubes that are used to strap the bike onto a car rack. Of course it could not be carried as easily as a flexible strap.
Heh. I drove. :)
My drive is like <10 minutes, same time as riding. No point getting all wet...
i love riding on rainy days like this! i prefer riding in steady, heavy rain over light drizzle or short rain squalls. i dropped my daughter off at school (on our tandem) just as it started to rain. the 20" wheels seem to spray more water than standard size wheels (is that because of more centrifugal force?). of course, i have fenders, and it's fun to watch as the stream of water exits the front of the fender in a fanning pattern as it is flung from the spinning tire. i got to work before it came down heavy, and didn't bother donning my rain gear. but for the solo tandem ride home in the heavy stuff, i got my rain pants and waterproof jacket on, and just enjoyed mother nature for my 20 minute ride home! (strangely, i don't experience the rain entering my nose and mouth. the only annoying thing i feel on my face are the rain drops dripping off my nose),ReplyDelete
I should get me some rain pantaloons.
This way I'll be able to arrive completely dry and enjoy riding in the rain more.
"Not that many thieves would be tempted to drag away a 50lb clunker with a locked rear wheel in a downpour..."
Heehee, I would pay $5 to watch that.
Portlandize - Can you share some deets on the poncho?
I am giggling to myself about how similar this report is to my ride today. It was my first time taking my ANT out in the rain, and I was very impressed with it's wonderful stability in the rain. I even had the same thoughts about how wonderfully unappealing my "recycled" shopping bag saddle cover made the bike look, and the unusual courtesy level of the drivers. Glad to see there were a few other cyclists out there today for the drivers to "feel bad" for. :)ReplyDelete
Ooh we have a day of rain forecast for tomorrow here in London. Not looking forward to it!
Carine - Oh so *you* are the one who got that beautiful white Philly expo ANT! I think the drivers were giving you space because they were stunned by your bicycle. Congratulations! I have decided that if I get an ANT it will be a truss frame, possibly fixed gear. And now I am wondering how that would look in white...
somervillain - You missed the best of it: It briefly *snowed* around 1pm!
In the very hilly terrain of North Florida, I get nervous about the days it rains while riding my Raleigh DL-1, in traffic, with its already tenuous when dry rod brakes. Dry is a relative term since it remains in the 70 to 90 percent humidity range most of the time here.
But living dangerously is half the fun.
I do like bicycling in the warm rain though.
At some point I want to locate a vintage front hub brake for the DL1.
Velouria - Is your fork tweaked ever so slightly?ReplyDelete
Forrest Lee Causseaux - I can imagine! Have you read about my Coaster Roadster?
Herzog - No. Tweaked how/ in what direction?
Slightly back, like from a front impact?ReplyDelete
Oh no, we checked all of that.ReplyDelete
ha ha November Rain. Nov Rain and the Ancient Mariner have in common the fact that they both make me cringe. I for sure thought one of them was suuuper cool in ninth grade, though. I will leave you all to guess which one.
It was so heinous today and I am sick so I took the subway to a meeting in midtown. It took forever and was gross. Fin.
LOL, I'm going to be singing that all night now! Ah... middle school... :)
It rained, then flurried and rained and then flurried, rained and hailed here. So I've gotten a good mix intro to winter cycling today! My only problem so far is that no matter what coat I wear, it always blows back from across my right leg, which ends up soaked. Maybe I need to add more buttons to all my long coats.
Here is the Pacific Northwest, where real rain is when you cannot see across the street, everything else is just a shower. I do so love a torrential downpour, it's akin to showering outside. But of course we have neglectful riders, so Velouria tell us do, what you do to comfort your wet companion aside from the warm cup of tea?ReplyDelete
I love that you mentioned the "sweet spot" for carrying - it's so true. My old single-speed isn't a whole lot heavier than my Raleigh hybrid, but the Raleigh is *so* much easier to carry! I've got the perfect spot on the back of the frame to grip it, and I can carry it up and down flights of stairs. It's one of those things you don't really appreciate 'till it's missing, y'know?ReplyDelete
I have a Brooks B-17 saddle (on my Soma Smoothie ES) and it came with one of those plastic-y covers. You're right, it really doesn't protect much from rain, and I've never understood what it's supposed to do.ReplyDelete
way to brave it out in the rain! i'm getting ready for those rainy days here in sf and look forward to finding some good gear for those wet rides. any recommendations?ReplyDelete
On days such as your describe, I am getting along and staying dry by donning a bicycle rain cape, sky blue in color. I may look a little silly, but there is no way that people can't see me coming in it, and even my feet stay dry as long as I am not splashed from the side.ReplyDelete
I like the idea of rain capes, but in practice find them too floppy; I feel as if I am wearing a batman costume and the crinkly noise they make bothers me as well. Having lived in England, I got really good at shopping for waterproof trenches. I own two: one that I still have from England and another one that I bought in the US a couple of years ago. Both look like normal trench coats, but are waterproof, 3/4 length so that they cover the things, and strategically placed buttons to keep them from flopping open above the knees. I wore one of them today and stayed almost entirely dry.ReplyDelete
Wow! You are amazing. I read your post like an adventure novel. My hat's off to you. Ypu and your bikes are Top Drawer in my book.
for a seat cover, i have the one from velo-orange that is waterproof and elastic. when stretched over the saddle, it looks like a regular, "generic" saddle. sometimes i also use a white plastic bag.
for rain gear, my collection is still evolving, but right now i have a breathable, stretchable form-fitting synthetic fall cycling jacket that can keep me dry for about 1/2 hour in steady rain. after that, water will begin to seep through, especially at my elbows and shoulders. the reason i use it is because i'm rarely riding in the rain for more than 30 minutes at a time, and it breathes well and i don't sweat! i also use it as a dedicated fall jacket, rain or not, and with a couple of extra layers beneath it, it can be a winter jacket. i got it from performance bike on clearance pretty cheap. my other rain jacket is a true rain jacket which is waterproof, but it doesn't stretch, it flops in the wind, and i sweat to death in it. honestly, i'm wetter from sweat than i would be from just riding in the rain without rain protection.
I bailed on my ride to work because it was raining this morning. I normally don't care if I get caught in the rain on the return trip, but I tend to take public transit if I wake up and see rain as my bike ride takes about 30-40 minutes and even with rain gear my hair and face would be a mess. I especially hate it when rain wets my contacts (my eye doctor told me never to allow water to come into contact with soft contacts because bacteria will breed). The couple of times it has happened I've tossed the lenses and thought I should buy some goggles or something. Also, someone needs to develop a line of fashionable cycling clothes for us loop frame-loving ladies. Just like you'd never catch me in spandex, you'll never see me in a bright orange Mountain Equipment jacket either.ReplyDelete
I used to cover my saddle with plastic bags too, but sometimes wind would move them out of place. Then I found something that has always worked, even on windy days: a shower cap from the dollar store. It's 100% waterproof, slightly thicker than the plastic bag and has an elastic that I shove inside the bottom part of the leather saddle (it fits my Brooks B33, so I suppose it would fit any saddle...) I've been using the same since May and it's still working fine, so I suppose it will last at least a year.ReplyDelete
Would be curious to know how that pannier held up in the rain? Thanks.ReplyDelete
when I picked up a Brooks Team Pro from Broadway, they were out of Brooks branded saddle covers and I got a Serfas one instead. It fits perfectly and is also a nice way of camouflaging the brand while also being more durable than a plastic bag.ReplyDelete
Velouria - Yes, I am certainly a lucky devil :) The color is actually a SUPER pale grey (I once heard a French girl call this color "dirty white"), which I believe would be very much to your taste. I am excited to see the ANT Truss in some other colors besides black... I met a customer at the expo who has ordered a pale green one with red rims and cream fat frank tires!
And for the curious, here's a diamond frame in "Telegrey 4":
Hey, folks, where can I find big, rubber mudflap(s)?
I saw a "Bibia" brand one on a bike the other day...
I made one for my Pashley Roadster and LOVE it, but the material is rubber Stair Tread from Home Depot - and when it hits a curb, it doesn't deform enough for my liking, especially in the cold.
Big mudflaps are just Amazing for keeping your feet dry. Fenders seem useless without them, once you've had one.
NorthernMike -- I managed to pick up a nice rubber mudflap at Urbane Cyclist when I was in Toronto a couple of years ago. You might want to check in with them? If I recall, it was something that I had to ask for; but that they were happy to provide.ReplyDelete
northern mike: regarding mudflaps, i have good luck using black plastic stiffener often found in various things: notebook covers, retail packaging, etc. the thicknesses can vary, but i recently made a mud flap from the plastic stiffener card from a $8 cargo net:
the other thing i've discovered is that the width of the flap and curvature are not overly important, while the length is everything. i have narrow honjo fenders on one bike, but they are so long that there is no room for even a small mudflap, and they keep my feet and bottom bracket totally dry! a dutch bike that i used to have had a huge, wide (and heavy) rubber clip-on mudflap (axa brand, got it from a local dutch bike importer for $5), but it performed no better at keeping the water at bay than the narrow but long honjo fender.
i agree with you that the stair tread material works, but is a little too stiff. and i agree, once you have a mudflap (or a long fender) anything less seems useless.
i've only been in one bad rainstorm and while most drivers behaved normally, i had one who honked because he couldn't go right on red. meh. reading about carrying your bike up the stairs, i'd like to know how exactly! my cruiser is probably 30 plus pounds and i haven't figured out how to carry it up without knocking the wheels into stairs. and it's so cold that my gloved hands don't grip on the bike very well.ReplyDelete
Rebecca19804 - The pannier is totally waterproof; no problems.

"my other rain jacket is a true rain jacket which is waterproof, but it doesn't stretch, it flops in the wind, and i sweat to death in it. honestly, i'm wetter from sweat than i would be from just riding in the rain without rain protection."
That was the problem for me when I was looking for a road cycling rain jacket: everything I tried was either not breathable enough, or not water resistant enough. I finally found one that was both, but it took me a while. Not an issue on my upright city bikes though.
Re saddle covers - I also have one from Rivendell, and it is a lot better than Brooks as well. The colour is a subtle gray. But can anything beat the classiness of an inside-out supermarket bag? I don't know...
Carine - Or, how interesting that the ANT is a pale gray! I wonder which RAL colour it is. There are too many beautiful colours to choose from.ReplyDelete
When I lived in the Netherlands, we rode bikes everywhere, rain or shine. I wore a skirt every day, so when it rained, the solution was to wear rain pants. I learned how to get the pants on and off without flashing anyone. I'm sure I looked ridiculous with a skirt bunched up around inside the top part of the pants, but my longish coat covered it, I think, and I didn't really care--I stayed dry!ReplyDelete
LOVE the poem! Fun and well-written. Thanks.ReplyDelete
Melissa - That is one of the many reasons I love longish coats - they cover everything. I sometimes need to run errands while in the midst of painting or cleaning, and don't feel like making myself presentable. Throw on a coat and a hat, and I am all set. This is especially important in Vienna, where people don't generally go out looking disheveled.ReplyDelete
That was a lovely post. Thanks!ReplyDelete
I'm such a wus. I don't like riding when it's raining or cold. Dear God, give me the strength. :-) I'll get out this month. But, Dec.- Feb., I just don't know. I admire you all-weather cyclists. I strive to work up the courage.ReplyDelete
Hi Velouria, not relevant to this post but have you seen this beauty:
for awhile now, big fan of shower caps as saddle covers. trick learned from my fellow bike diva adrienne :DReplyDelete
Rain Legs and a good waxed Carridice bicycle rain-cape seem like the ultimate protection in the humid Summer months when a gortex suit is transformed int a sauna suit. Dutchbike in Chicago has Dutch seat covers that are bright colored and durable. You could make one by sewing some vinyl "oilcloth" fabric with waxed linen thread.
sorry if you've answered this already, but what do you wear on such rainy days so you don't arrive soaked or semi-soaked to your destination? I've never ridden in the rain so I'm wondering about methods to stay totally dry during a commute.
It's not too difficult to make a mudflap from something plastic or rubber. But i've bought dutch made Bibia ones from here http://www.dutchbikebits.com/ for a more professional look.
A proper rain cape is also perfect for the rain, unlike ponchos which are designed for walking or standing in the rain. A cycle rain cape is larger to allow it to stretch out to the handle bars and will have loops to hold in your hands while cycling. The great thing with a cape though is while the mudguards (fenders) with their rubber flap stop the water splashing you from underneath the open bottom of the cape lets air circulate. A lot of waterproof clothing makes you perspire, even decent goretex material wont dissipate all perspiration so you end up feeling just as damp as if you'd not worn water proof clothing at all. Carradice make a cotton duck cape, while there are various PVC type ones made by dutch/german companies. It's needs to be a weighty material though so it doesn't blow up in the wind.
I ride 18 miles to work in specialist cycling clothes (warning! MAMIL!), then get showered and changed at the office. I chicken out if it's raining not because I don't like riding in the rain, but because I can't dry out my clothes, specially my shoes, at work ready for the ride home. I've had various jackets that keep my top half reasonably dry, but it's the feet that are the problem. I've tried neoprene overshoes, but I find them impractical. I used to find my big old CRT computer monitor great for drying my gloves - these flat panel LCDs are nowhere near as good.ReplyDelete
Love your blog. Found your sensible Brooks saddle advice and had to delve further.
What do you wear to cycle in the rain? I was thinking of getting an Otto of London poncho, but then thought maybe a trench coat would do. I notice you are wearing a coat in the photos. Poncho or coat? I live in the UK so rain pretty much all year. Hot or warm rainy days in summer and cold rain with wind in winter.

The imperial cathedral in Speyer, officially known as the Cathedral of St. Mary and St. Stephen, is the town's most prominent landmark. Laid out in the form of a Latin cross, it is one of Germany's largest and most important Romanesque buildings, and was intended to be no less than the largest church in the western world when building work began in 1030.
Speyer Cathedral in the Rhineland-Palatinate region has long since ceased to be the largest church in the western world. However, it is still the world's largest surviving Romanesque church. Construction began under Salian Emperor Konrad II, and the church was consecrated in 1061 under his grandson Heinrich IV. Its huge triple-naved vaulted basilica is the central element of a design that is thought to have greatly influenced Romanesque architecture in the 11th and 12th century. The mighty but eminently well-proportioned main building, consisting of the nave and transept with four towers in a symmetrical design, inspired many other important churches. A central attraction that strongly reflects the spirit of the time is the fully preserved crypt, which is the largest Romanesque columned hall in Europe. As the burial site for Salian, Hohenstaufen and Habsburg rulers and their wives, the crypt – and the cathedral itself – represent the ultimate symbol of medieval imperial power. The huge 'cathedral bowl' outside the main door is certainly worth a visit. With a capacity of 1,560 litres, it had to be filled with wine by every new bishop to keep the people happy. Perhaps these are the origins of the Cathedral Wine Fair in spring at which Palatinate vineyards present their wines against the stunning backdrop of the cathedral. Every year in September and October, the International Music Festival is held at Speyer Cathedral. It features concerts by choirs and orchestras, as well as organ recitals.
Opening times
Speyer Cathedral and crypt: November to March: 9am to 5pm;
April to October: 9am to 7pm
Church services: Sundays 7.30am, 10am and 6pm; closed to visitors during services
Guided tours of the cathedral can only be booked through Speyer Cathedral Chapter (Domkapitel):
Imperial hall & viewing platform: April to October Monday to Saturday 10am to 5pm; Sunday: 12 noon to 5pm
Cathedral treasury at the Historical Museum of the Palatinate in Speyer: 10am to 6pm daily

"Old Age"
What This is
It is Personal.
It is my Personal Relationship and Response to Jesus.
It is about the Way I relate to Jesus and How He Communicates to Me. It is not an uncommon experience, but it is one that is Unique and Distinctive to God because He did it. I merely responded to what He did to me. This should be common to all men and could be. Your response to God is your own and personal to you, this is mine.VidDevo is Testimony.
It is the personal experience of God related in an intimate and personal way about what Jesus wants to communicate to me and through me for others as well as for my self. It is life experiences. It is Testimony. It is real. It is live. None of it is exaggerated. It is my devotional life as I live it in Video: VidDevo.VidDevo is Personal.
It is about You. It is about Me. We are relating Jesus to each other by Video but communicating to each other as the Spirit of God makes real what fits in your life the same way he does for me. And it may not be the same thing. It is God speaking. It doesn't matter how He does. It is personal to you and Him, just as it is personal to He and I. God speaks thru VidDevo to each individual person; personally.
VidDevo is Real.
It is life. It is daily. It is about what happens to me and as much as possible what affects you as I see it happening to you. It is the response of a Man of God with God in success and failure, in happiness and sorrow, in all aspects of life and living it. It is not reality video, but the reality of God manifest in the flesh, mine, as I relate to God in all I am doing. It is God in me as Jesus said He would be and is. He is real, I am not.

8 Small Business Ideas for 2017 20Four7VA
March 23, 2019 Add Comment Edit
home business ideas8 Small Business Ideas for 2017 20Four7VAHome Decorating For Mother's DayMother's Day is almost here. It is time to shower her with loads of love and gifts.
Not that you do not do that otherwise, but treating her on this very day with gifts and surprises, and thanking her in a special way for being your biggest support in life make her feel even more special. But gifting your mother can be very difficult at times, because whenever you ask her what is that one thing she would like to receive as gift, she says there is no such thing, and that she does not want anything from her children except their love.
So, how to wish her on Mother's Day?- Gifting precious jewelry, flowers and cards have all become very commonplace nowadays. This Mother's Day try something different, innovative and thoughtful. Do up your home with Mother Day special handcrafted decorative items, and wake her up to a wonderful surprise.
Make wall hangings with photographs of your mother with beautiful quotations scribbled on them, and hang it on the wall of your mother's bedroom. Position it in such a way that when she wakes up in the morning, she gets to see the wall hanging right in front of her.Bring in the freshness of the nature with beautiful seasonal blooms kept in small bunches in flower vases.
Flowers have magical powers in them. They convey the message of what you want to say quite effortlessly. So, get as many different varieties of flowers as you can and add to the vibrancy of the day. This will work even better, if you go for the blooms that your mother likes the best. Her happiness will know no bound.Now as she walks up to the living room area, greet her with a cup of coffee with a handmade Mother's Day card placed under it. Do place candles with Mother's Day special messages inscribed on them on the center table for a perfect accent for the day.
For decorating your mantelpiece and other corner tables and showcase tops, collect nice photographs of your kids and siblings. Out-of-the-box picture frames like these make great Mother's Day special keepsakes. Your mother will be moved to tears when she will see the faces of all her near and dear ones around her under one roof.Go ahead with further decorating attempts.
Pile up couple of throw pillows in soft linen with messages like "Mom- I love you" written in acrylic on them on the small cot or sofa in your living room area. Your mother will love hugging them with utmost affection and care.While decorating your home for Mother's Day, make one thing sure - do not splurge on things that are unnecessarily expensive. Instead put in your heartfelt love in every small thing that you gather to dress up your home, for mothers never go by price tags. They feel the warmth of your gesture and feel happy.

GOTHENBURG, SWEDEN—We know the future of energy usage that we want: a rapidly decreasing reliance on fossil fuels with a greater share of global energy use going to people in the developing world. We also know the current state of technology and the rate at which things are changing. Is it possible to get these two horizons to meet? And, perhaps more importantly, will we need to?
There was a definite tension among the panelists at the Nobel Week dialog about what the future of energy might hold and how well we could predict that future based on current trends. For example, Carl Henric Svanberg (of BP and Volvo) noted that, while renewables are the fastest growing portion of the energy market, if you extrapolate out current trends, non-hydro renewables will only cover six percent of the world's energy needs by 2030.
And that's not good enough, Svenberg said: "We need to move fast, because time is not on our side." He was one of a number of speakers who called for a carbon tax to tilt the economic scales. In his case, Svenberg said, "I cannot understand how those who burn carbon get to do that without charge." It was put another way by Johan Rockström, who referenced the increases in various extreme weather events by saying, "The atmosphere was not sending invoices back to the economy. That has changed." Carbon taxes would be one way to forward those invoices on to the parties responsible.
Although there was widespread agreement that a carbon tax would be a positive step, there seemed to be less unanimity as to whether it was absolutely necessary, since some aspects of the energy economy were already pushing us toward conservation and efficiency. Even without a carbon tax, the International Energy Agency's Fatih Birol noted that oil prices have hovered near or above $100 a barrel for about five years, something he called "without precedent in market history."
But will this trend continue? Birol thought it would, but both he and others also shared stories about how their market predictions for oil ended up being badly wrong. And the Chief Economist of BP, Christof Rühl, noted that oil's share of the global energy market has been dropping since the oil crises of the 1970s—events that were driven by political considerations. Technology can also change things rapidly as well. The IPCC's Rajendra Pachauri pointed out that, as recently as five years ago, some projections were still completely ignoring the impact that shale gas would have on the energy economy.
Another speaker, Nebojsa Nakicenovic, emphasized the degree to which technology could alter how we use energy. He showed a slide with 50-year snapshots of various technologies, ranging from a primitive steam engine of the late 1800s to a bullet train, from a hot air balloon to a 747, from a horse to a Prius. At the time, many of the steps undoubtedly seemed evolutionary, but the cumulative impact has been radical.
If "revolutions are a constant," as he put it, they're not necessarily distributed in the ways we might like. We can make heavy investments in the sorts of technology we need—and Nakicenovic definitely felt we should do so, calling for a doubling in our investments—but that won't guarantee we'll get everything we need. For example, he pointed out that continued emissions have ensured that most of the options for limiting climate change to two degrees Celsius by the end of the century will now require some form of large-scale carbon capture and storage. But research in the area is still stuck at the stage of small test projects.
All of this back and forth left a lot of ambiguity in its wake. Should we expect a revolution? Can we specifically fund the ones we need? Based on past experience, chances seem good that something will change. But, given we don't know what that will be, it may be that extrapolating current trends is the best we can do.

"A few months ago, I saw your advertisement for TP Goldâ"¢ in our Pittsburgh Post Gazette. Since I was having so much pain from arthritis in my knee and leg, I decided to try the small size. I could not believe the results!. I am now using my third bottle of TP Goldâ"¢ (large size) and would not be without it. The warmth immediately penetrates the painful area and gives a welcome relief. It is especially effective at night. I have recommended it to so many people who have never heard of it--even my doctor!"
Mrs. Dayle Phelps
Hello, I wanted to give you a testimonial for your wonderful product. Most of the testimonials on your site are from athletic people and I have no doubt in my mind that the TP Gold lotion is a tremendous help for athletes, however, I would like to let everyone know that this lotion works wonders for non-athletic people too. My husband is a builder who works long hours. Your lotion is a God send. Prior to me bringing some TP Gold samples home, he needed to visit his chiropractor on a frequent basis. After using TP Gold he immediately noticed a remarkable difference and rarely has neck and back pain after applying the lotion prior to going to bed. I tell everyone about lotion and think it is the best product on the market. Whatever you do, please don't stop making this lotion.
Faith Daniel Chattanooga, TN
This is the best I've found for pain in my joints! Thank you!!
Leanette Glaze Knoxville, TN
Dear Sirs, or to whom it may concern. I am happy to say I am a firm believer in this product TP Gold analgesic lotion, I have been using it for the last 1- or more years, after a fall. I fell and hurt my back and have muscle spasms. The reason I am writing is to thank you for this product, nothing else helped (the other products) Ben-gay etc. What makes this product work? What is different about it? I have told many others over the years about this product, a friend told me.
Cynthia Altoona , FL 32702 12/15/99
"We have all been totally amazed with this product and are so thankful for it. No other product can match it or even come near when it comes to relieving arthritis pain!"
Jeanetta M. B., Nashville, Tennessee
For fast relief we use TP Gold. It has been a long time staple pain reliever to our household. Of all the products we have tried, none matches the fast relief to sore muscles and arthritic pain than that received when TP Gold is applied. We gladly recommend TP Gold to our friends and frequently give them samples to use.
B. Harris - Georgia
Just wanted to send you a thanks & appreciation for your HIGH quality lotion. Although only 57, I have bone degeneration & severe, constant arthritis. Late July the left shoulder became a large pain problem. Took expensive Feldene 20MG, and it gave NO relief. Finally 9/18 saw Dr. & got very expense 2 cortison shots. By 9/30 still no relief and & Dr. said go into physical therapy (which I didn't think was needed). Read about TP Gold in the paper, decided to give it a try. Cost was . . . less than 1 week of feldene 20MG. Day 1 -applied 3 times -substantial relief Day 2 -applied 3 times – down to occasional ache Day 3 – applied 1 time in A.M. !!! NO MORE PAIN !!! Keeping the balance for future use, and telling everyone about you.

Christopher Burda, M.D., FA.C.R., a leading rheumatologist and arthritis researcher, reports a 93% success rate in relief of pain among patients involved in an open-label clinical study. These patients had pain associated with arthritis, bursitis, tendinitis and other similar disorders. Their pain relief ranged from good to complete. The over-the-counter drug that was used in the study was TP Gold Analgesic Lotion. As Dr. Burda stated, "TP Gold is a most valuable therapeutic modality without systemic side effects in the management and treatment of various musculoskeletal disorders."
Forty-eight patients seen in private practice with a variety of orthopedic diagnosis were treated with ultrasound Phonophoresis with a 50/50 mixture of the topical analgesic anti-inflammatory lotion, TP Gold and regular ultrasound lotion. Ninety percent had good to very good relief or reduction of pain while eight percent of this group had excellent response. There were measurable increases in increase range of motion and increase strength came shortly after the decrease pain and increase range of motion. There were no systemic side effects and a few local skin reactions. It appears that the use of TP Gold in Phonophoresis is a most valuable adjunctive aid for further pain relief in various orthopedic disorders.
"Over 30 years ago (present age 67) I broke, while playing a basketball game, the medial malleolus of the left tibia together with ligament damage. The problem was misdiagnosed by an MD, DO and a podiatrist all of whom said I had a sprained ankle. Eventually a proper diagnosis was made by the Detroit Tigers team physician and resulting therapy resulted in about 80% mobility etc. At various times I have strained the joint and tibial tendon around this malunion, however after a bit of home therapy the pain went away and I was able to carry on as usual. About two years ago I foolishly strained the tendon and joint ( I just had to whip a young 30 year old in a 50 yard race) ( which I did) . This time however the tendon and joint did not heal in the aforementioned time. I was now forced to hobble with pain and 2 physicians suggested that a fusion of the ankle was the only solution while another said to live with the problem. About 5 months ago I read an advertisement regarding your product and decided to try It. To my amazement after the first month , pain was reduced to tolerable discomfort and I was able to walk with some degree of normalcy. In the months that have followed almost all the pain has, disappeared and I am now able to walk normally. I now use the product only when I am on on my feet for an extended time such as painting the house etc. By the way I walk 2 miles/ day and pump Iron 3 times/week."

I would like to give this testimonial as to the effectiveness of TP Gold. I have used it for over three months and I have found it to be extremely effective. I would not dare start my day without application of this product. As a former professional athlete, the wear and tear on my body is very evident. With the aid of your product, I have found a measure of relief. I am very proud to tell you, it works!

Pretty great!
By Jilly on Wednesday, October 30, 2019This is the second forte I've owned, because I loved the first one so much. This car has tons of safety features I didn't imagine would exist so soon, like collision avoidance, lane keeping assist, and blind spot collision warning. It also sends me a notification when it senses I am drowsy and should take a break. Also it has many comfort features like heated, and cooled seats. The trunk provides tons of storage space as well as the back seat wich is surprisingly roomy.

Best vehicle in it's class by far
By Dave on Tuesday, April 16, 2019I traded my Lexus 350ES for a 2019 ForteEX. I had wanted a Lexus IS model but after driving the Forte, there was no doubt in my mind that this was the vehicle that fit all of my needs. I read some of the complaints that the Forte was not very powerful or sporty. Yet I think it does handle like a sports car. There are 3 driving modes available but just using the "normal" mode offers an exciting driving feel. The handling around curves is outstanding. On the highway you get a quiet smooth ride. All of the high tech features really work well. I tried the Honda Insight, Lexus, Civic, Toyota, Hyundai, and Subaru products and the Kia Forte seemed superior driving in traffic and on the highway. The seats are very comfortable and ventilated which is great if you live in Arizona. Also, my dog enjoys the rear vents that keep him cool. Also, one flaw in Honda products ( lack of front seat leg room) is not an issue with the Forte. The leg room is outstanding. I feel that I have hit the jackpot with the Forte. And the price is incredibly low for the overall quality this vehicle offers. This is just my opinion but hope this review helps others at least test drive this vehicle before buying.

Beef Value
By Zerk101 on Sunday, December 16, 2018DO NOT GET THIS CAR IF: you want an affordable compact car that has enough muscle to make you feel sporty. Other than the lack of a lot of power this car is best in class all around. Most people who buy this car class is generally on a budget like me or just wants something simple. This is definitely that. The Luxury features in this car are second to none. The 8inch screen that comes standard with Apple CarPlay and Android Audio is featured standard in no other car in the brand except the stinger next. The affordable S class also has a sun roof. It is very comfortable with its separate daul Zone heating and Ac. This means the driver can blast Ac while the passenger roasts with the heat. Overall comfort and fun is use to describe this car. THE ONLY REASON YOU SAY NO: is if engine performance is you niche else this car beats it compition completely in comfort!

This one becomes juicy because of who it involves. This soclose to A list television actor who has been in movies, but is only really known for ones that involved a television character he plays cheated on his D list actress girlfriend. While she was pregnant. More than once.


text: Share: November 28, 2012 | by Antonia Shoumatoff Hudson River, Freshwater, Pearly Mussels The work of Cary Institute scientists Dr. David Strayer and Heather Malcom on freshwater mussels received recognition with the November 16 issue of Science Magazine, published by the American Association for the Advancement of Science. The article "Nearly Buried, Mussels get a helping hand" (November 16, 2012) by Erik Stokstad described how freshwater mussels, of which there are 297 known species, are seriously threatened. He wrote that freshwater mussels "are the most endangered group of organisms in the United States, with most of their river and stream habitats devastated by dams, pollution, and invasive species such as the zebra mussel. Thirty-five species have been declared extinct, others are likely gone, and more than 70 species are teetering on the brink." The article described the elaborate collaborative system whereby certain mussel species rely on a certain species of fish to distribute the larvae, a system that could be disrupted by any number of factors, or, as Dr. Stayer's work showed, by chemical changes due to run-off from agricultural chemicals. Strategies to culture and restore them have had mixed results. "Just putting mussels back into the stream without fixing the ammonia problem (if ammonia is the problem as we suspect) won't solve anything, because the juveniles still wouldn't be able to survive," explained Dr. Strayer in an interview with the Millbrook Independent. Strayer and Malcolm also published a scientific paper in a technical journal "Ecological Applications" in September of this year which theorizes that 'recruitment failure' in freshwater mussel populations is due to excessive concentrations in ammonia and nitrogen associated with fertilizers and other sources especially in agricultural areas. "People are trying to re-introduce mussels into some streams, as the Science Magazine mentions but there is no point to such programs unless you've first eliminated the problem that killed the mussels in the first place. If ammonia in the sediments is the problem, then simple re-introductions won't do any good. If something else killed the mussels and has now been fixed, then maybe re-introductions would make sense."Dr. Strayer was also asked to comment on whether global warming could affect the mussels directly because the streams could get too warm for the mussels in the future. He explained that climate change in the Northeast "could also affect the amount of ammonia in the sediments of the rivers, make it go either up or down, as well as many other aspects of the stream ecosystem. In addition, we expect increases in rainfall and in the frequency of big storms, both of which could have large and far-reaching effects on stream ecosystems. The net effect of all of this is very hard to predict at this point."The implications of Dr. Strayer and Heather Malcom's research are fairly dire for certain mussel species that are prevalent in our streams in Eastern Dutchess. "Right now, the simplest prediction for the Tenmile basin would be that the eastern elliptio, the subject of our study, and the most common freshwater mussel in our area, will continue to decline, and will disappear entirely in a few decades. Other mussel species with less exacting habitat requirements may persist."If our findings are correct, and it's still too early to be sure that we're right, then we can expect to see large, widespread die-offs of mussels in streams that receive a lot of reactive nitrogen from fertilizers, sewage, and atmospheric pollution. This would mean especially mussels in streams near agricultural areas." Share:

Frontier gets you connected with safety-first installations.
At Frontier, we work hard to be sure you get the most out of your Internet experience. In our commitment to clarity, we have some key information about your wired Internet speeds. In all instances, regardless of the service tier or package selected:
(1) the maximum provisioned speed in a tier is the highest wired speed you will receive;
(2) the average speed may be slower; and
(3) your actual speed is subject to multiple factors. These factors include the number of other users on our network that connects you to the internet, congestion and other traffic on the internet. Your wired service speed for new internet services in Nevada will be determined at installation based on your location and communicated to you after installation. The actual internet speed at your service address and your ability to access various internet services/sites, e.g., streaming or gaming, will vary as a result of factors like (a) connecting to Wi-Fi; (b) multiple users or devices on the same account; (c) the capacity, performance or limitations of your inside wiring, computer, equipment, device(s) or modem; and/or (d) congestion and other traffic on our network or in the Internet. The above information is a guide to what you can expect in terms of service speed. However, this is not a statement, representation or guarantee of the service speed you will receive. Frontier makes no representation, promise or warranty, express or implied, that you will receive or be able to download or upload data at any particular speed.
