Our cooperative began with a simple request. While volunteering in Congo, my good friend Mama Aroyo asked for help generating income to build a home for her family. Recognizing her talents as a seamstress, I requested that she make 25 African handbags that I could sell to family and friends in the U.S. Soon after, other women in the village expressed interest in joining our project. We weren't sure what our business model would look like, but what I did know is that my year spent as a volunteer in Africa changed my life. As I encountered suffering and tragedy, I also grew in fellowship with the local community. A day never goes by when I am not inspired by the creativity and resilience of our artisans. It is my hope that we will renew our image of Africa so that we, too, may see the true beauty and endless joy that abounds in our world today.

Katie Hile, Founder + CEO

April 2014 – Our first meeting was held in the village of Aru, Democratic Republic of Congo. We gathered with 10 local women to create the first artisan cooperative. A cooperative is a group of individuals who voluntarily join together for shared economic, social, and cultural benefits. Due to the lack of government presence and support, cooperatives are key to the positive growth and formation of communities across the developing world. Our artisans strengthen their creative talents by working together to meet the social and economic development needs of their village.

February 2015 – We partnered with Yobel International to provide a business-training workshop for the cooperative. It is our mission to educate and empower Congolese artisans and entrepreneurs to create and manage successful business of their own. As a Denver-based social enterprise, we are aware of the great economic opportunity that exists by marketing our products to the global community, but to truly empower our artisans we must also encourage success at the local level. By teaching accounting, marketing, and leadership skills, we are investing in the next generation of African leaders and entrepreneurs.

Summer 2016 – These women in Congo have overcome many social and economic barriers. By 2016, we had 18 cooperative members, who over the course of three years supported 264 family members by helping with school fees and healthcare costs. When I returned to Congo last summer they approached me with a proposal to train young women in the village how to sew. These women are eligible to participate based on not having had the opportunity to attend primary school. Our cooperative is now helping those living in even more desperate circumstances. How incredible is that? So you can see that our model is not only working, it’s thriving.

Today – Our cooperative’s capacity for confidence and creativity has grown tremendously. We encourage you to take a few moments to read the personal narratives of our artisans

In the local Congolese language of Lingala, it means BUILD OUR FUTURE.

The fabric, known as pagne, is purchased by our artisans at local markets. Most pagnes are printed in West and Central Africa. Designs can reflect nationality and cultural traditions. The most popular Congolese pagnes are of Christianity and Independence.

To keep colors vibrant we recommend that you hand wash our products with cold water and a pinch of salt. Hang to dry in the shade.

Artisans complete Coupe et Couture (sewing) studies at their local high schools in Congo.

The DRC is located in Central Africa. It is bordered by nine countries including; South Sudan, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, Zambia, Angola, Republic of Congo and Central African Republic. The DRC is a vast country which compares to ¼ the size of the U.S. Seventy percent of the 75 million inhabitants live in rural areas. The DRC has less than 3% arable land as jungle dominates the region creating obstacles for agriculture, transportation and communication.

Present-day Congo was settled by the migrating Bantu people of Nigeria and Cameroon in the 7th century. It was a society centered on agriculture and the copper trade. By the 14th century, the Kingdom of Kongo became one of the most powerful kingdoms in Africa and remained so until Portuguese influence in the early 19th century. At the Berlin Conference of 1884-1885, also known as the Congo Conference, European powers divided the African continent.

King Leopold II of Belgium incorporated the Congo in 1885 under the guise of a non-governmental organization, known as the Congo Free State. In his pursuit of rubber exportation, the most inhumane and vicious forms of slavery were carried out. In 1908, British consul—Roger Casement—discovered and reported Leopold II’s crimes against humanity. The Congo Free State became an international scandal. Writers and activists including Mark Twain and Joseph Conrad (author of Heart of Darkness) formed the Congo Reform Association which demanded Leopold II’s immediate end. Belgium officially colonized the Congo and ruled until independence on June 30, 1960.

In the decades that followed, the DRC fell into violent instability. The first democratically-elected prime minister – Patrice Lumumba – was assassinated in 1961. His rival and head of military forces – Mobutu – ruled until 1997 when Laurent Kabila assumed power. Kabila led an army of Congolese from the eastern part of the country to the capital of Kinshasa. Laurent was assassinated January 18, 2001. Joseph Kabila (son of Laurent) took his father’s place and leads the DRC unto this day.

The transitions were not easy. Millions of lives were lost as a consequence of civil conflict. The majority of deaths were attributed to widespread famine and disease. Neighboring countries have rarely held the best of intentions and continue to support rebel factions, who illegally extract Congo’s natural resources, including: cobalt, copper, petroleum, diamonds, gold, silver, zinc, uranium and coal. Rape is a malicious weapon of war which has made the DRC one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a woman. In 2013, the DRC was listed 186 out of 187 countries on the World Bank Human Development Index (HDI). Most of the country is deprived of security, healthcare, education and economic opportunity.

iOS 7 Beta 6 Releasing Next Week As Last Beta Update?

 In Mobile Technology

iPhone 5 iOS 7

According to a new report Apple will be releasing iOS 7 beta 6 in the coming week which will reportedly be the last beta update before the gold master (GM) seed.

BGR published a report today claiming that sources familiar with Apple’s plan for iOS 7 release date believe that iOS 7 GM seed will be made available to carriers and Apple partners on September 5th. Developers will get the GM build on September 10th which is the rumored date for Apple’s iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C keynote event.

After Apple and its partners are comfortable with the gold master build, the company will release it to developers on September 10th, the day of the company’s iPhone event where we should see the new iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C make their first appearances — and they will of course be the first devices to run iOS 7 out of the box.

Public release of the iOS 7 could be a week prior to the release of the new hardware and the new iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C would sell with iOS 7 pre-installed. Even in the 5th beta of iOS 7 the software is quite stable unlike previous beta versions where the phone would crash or restart.

Most applications we use on a daily basis work just fine with iOS 7 however, developers would need to rush iOS 7 updates for their apps since some features in photography apps like sharing or exporting to camera album don’t always work.

Solon & Beyond, Week of August 11, 2016

Marilyn Rogers-Bull & Percyby Marilyn Rogers-Bull & Percy
Solon, Maine 04979

Good morning, dear friends. Don’t worry, be happy!

The 7th annual barbeque to support the Kennebec River Picnic Area on Wednesday, August 17, at the Kennebec Banks Picnic Area on Route 2 from 11:30 a.m. until 1:30 p.m.

As many of you know the state of Maine is no longer maintaining the Route 2 picnic area. The trustees of Somerset Woods stepped up to protect this important and historic community asset. This fundraiser is to help raise funds for SWT’s ontinued maintenance. You can purchase a ticket at the event for only $5 and get a great lunch provided by the trustees.You will be served either a hamburger, chips and drink or two hotdogs, chips and drink.

For more information you may contact Jack Gibson at 474-0057, Davida Barter at 474-3324, or Greg Dore at 431-5021.

Lief and I joined several members of the Franklin County Aircraft Modelers at the Carrabassett Valley Summerfest – Display and Demo Flights at the airport on Saturday. It was a perfectly beautiful, clear day but a breeze came up after a little while which made it rather hard to fly some of the model planes…but some of the more experienced flyers gave some great breathtaking examples of their talents. There were several small real planes at the airport that day, and they were taking off and landing also, which we all enjoyed. There was also much visting and talk of flying their model planes which I find fun to listen to. At noon, member Dick LeHay cooked hot dogs with buns and all the fixings, and chips in one of the sections at the airport. It was very tasty and a fun day.

On Sunday, Lief and I retraced our steps up to Eustis to the little replica of the church in Flagstaff for the annual Old Home Days service. Each year there are a few missing former residents who have died . Was very pleased that my class mate, Isabelle (Burbank) Millbank was there. Betty Wing who lived in Flagstaff, was there and Nancy McLean who lived in Dead River came up from Embden to attend. It is always a great joy for me to sit on the old, old pews, sing the hymns from the old Flagstaff Church hymn books and remember walking the half mile to the little church in my days of youth. There was no way of heating the building, so in the winter time we worshiped in the gym of the school house.

Now for Percy’s memoir: “Not what we have, but what we use: Not what we see, but what we choose – These are the things that mar or bless The sum of human happiness.”

Ditch the Diet Soda

Most people are familiar with the problems associated with regular sugar-filled sodas, but what about those diet drinks?  That vending machine in the lounge where I work is full of them, and hundreds of empty diet soda cans fill the office recycling bins by the end of the week.  Many love their daily sweet and fizzy beverage without the worry of calories (and, depending on the type, usually with a caffeine kick), but before you open your next bottle or pop the lid on your next can of diet soda, consider some of the information below. That calorie-free bubbly beverage may not necessarily be doing you any favors.  While many of the studies noted below linking diet sodas to negative health consequences don’t necessarily prove direct causation, the findings are worth considering in seeking our best chances for optimal health.  My verdict: since they’re not making us healthier, why take the risk? We’re probably better off without ’em.

Artificial Sweeteners in Diet Soda Are Associated with Weight Gain

Diet soda may be calorie-free, but studies have found that it won’t necessarily help you lose weight.  In an epidemiological study from the School of Medicine at the University of Texas  Health Science Center San Antonio conducted over the course of about nine years and published in 2011, researchers found that diet soda drinkers had a 70 percent greater increase in waist circumference compared to those who didn’t drink diet sodas. And frequent diet soda drinkers, who said they consumed two or more diet sodas per day, experienced waist circumference increases that were 500 percent greater than those of non-diet soda drinkers.  There are several hypotheses given for this — perhaps because the body gets the sweet taste but zero energy from the artificial sweeteners in the diet sodas, it throws off satiety signals and messes with the body’s normal hormonal response to food ultimately making a person crave sweet foods and eat more throughout the day?  Another theory is that the sugar stand-ins in diet soda trigger insulin just like sugar, sending the body into fat storage mode and leading to weight gain.  Or perhaps when people drink diet sodas without calories it is more easier to justify that double cheeseburger or extra slice of pizza?  Although this type of study doesn’t prove drinking diet soda causes weight gain, it does show a correlation.

Drinking Diet Soda Has Been Associated with an Increased Risk of Type 2 Diabetes

In a University of Minnesota study published in 2009 (also here), researchers found that participants who drank one diet soda a day had a 36 percent increased risk of metabolic syndrome and a 67 percent increased risk of type 2 diabetes. Metabolic syndrome describes a cluster of conditions (including high blood pressure, elevated glucose levels, raised cholesterol, and large waist circumference) that put people at high risk for heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.  Although the research doesn’t establish causality, consumption of diet soda at least daily was associated with significantly greater risks of metabolic syndrome components and type 2 diabetes.

Aspartame Found in Many Diet Sodas Has Been Linked to Health Problems such as Headaches and Dizziness

Aspartame is the most widely used artificial sweetener in diet sodas.  In studies giving it in exceedingly large amounts to rats it was shown to be a carcinogen.  While the clinical evidence of danger from normal consumption of aspartame is unclear, there is a vast amount of anecdotal evidence from people linking aspartame to numerous health problems including headaches, migraines, dizziness, visual impairment, severe muscle aches, numbing of extremities, pancreatistis, high blood pressure, retinal hemorrhaging, seizures and depression.    Aspartame is made up of three chemicals: aspartic acid, phenylalanine, and methanol.  When aspartame is digested it breaks down into the amino acids phenalanaline and aspartic acid plus methanol (also known as wood alcohol, which is a known poison) each of which may have toxic effects when metabolized.  See this article by Dr. Joseph Mercola which explains how this occurs.  Of course not everyone experiences these health issues with aspartame but better safe than sorry – I’d suggest just avoiding this chemical cocktail.

It May Ruin Your Smile Over Time

According to a case study published in the March/April 2013 Journal of Dentistry, excessive diet soda drinking could be doing harm to those pearly whites… much akin to that of heavy-hitting illegal drugs like crack cocaine or methamphetamine!  The researchers compared the teeth of a cocaine-user, a methamphetamine-user, and a habitual and excessive diet soda drinker (the soda drinker drank 2 liters of diet soda daily for three to five years — to give you an idea, a 2-liter bottle of soda equals just over 5 1/2 12-ounce cans or a little more than three 20-ounce bottles, so the soda drinker was drinking about 10-11 cans or 6 20-ounce bottles per day for three to five years), and they found the same level of tooth erosion in each of them!  The culprit here they claim is citric acid, which weakens and destroys tooth enamel over time.  Cocaine, methamphetamine and carbonated soda all have high acid levels that can damage tooth enamel and cause tooth erosion.   Of course, there are other factors to consider, but just another reason it might be advisable to cut back on that diet soda consumption and drink more water.

Cola-Based Sodas May Be Bad for Women’s Bones

In a study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutritionresearchers at Tufts University studying several thousand men and women found that the women who regularly drank cola-based sodas (all kinds, not just diet) — three or more cans per day — had almost 4 percent lower bone mineral density in their hips than women who didn’t drink soda.  The research even controlled for the participants’ calcium and vitamin D intake.  (Women who drank non-cola soft drinks, like Sprite or Mountain Dew, didn’t appear to have lower bone density, BUT these drinks would still have the same sugar or artificial sweeteners that should be avoided for reasons noted above.)  According to the researchers, phosphoric acid, a major component in most sodas, may be to blame; according to the researchers phosphoric acid blocks the absorption of calcium and magnesium in the intestines, thereby not allowing the calcium to get into the body and strengthen the bones.  And, interestingly, cola consumption was not associated with lower bone mineral density for men at the hip sites, or at the spine for either men or women.  As with any epidemiological study, the results can only tell us so much.  While there is no concrete evidence that an occasional cola will harm the bones, why not steer away from the colas and choose some healthy antioxidant-filled tea sweetened with some stevia (plant based sweetener) instead?

Diet Sodas May Hurt Your Heart

In an epidemiological study conducted over a ten-year period, researchers at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine and Columbia University found that people who drank diet soft drinks on a daily basis were 43 percent more likely to have experienced a vascular event (stroke, heart attack or vascular death) than those who drank none. Those people who drank diet sodas less often — between once a month and six a week – and those who drank regular (non-diet) soda did not appear to have an increased risk of vascular events. While the results did suggest the association between daily diet soft drink consumption and risk for heart issues, the researchers were not sure why this was the case and said that more studies need to be conducted before definitive conclusions can be made about diet soda’s effects on health.  In that case, why not take precautions and just avoid them?

Diet Soda is a Chemical Concoction with No Nutritional Value

In addition to the artificial sweeteners, diet sodas are filled with a variety of artificial flavorings, colorings and preservatives, most of which have dubious claims to safety.  While you may not be taking in any calories, you’re also not swallowing anything that does your body any good either.  The best no-calorie beverages instead? Plain old water is great.  If it’s the fizziness you crave, try sparkling water.  Or if you need some flavor, there are a variety of sugar-free, artificial sweetener free, flavored waters (the brand Hint is a great one).  Or if it’s the caffeine, some green or black tea might do the trick as well.  And you can add some stevia for sweetness.  Caffeine-free herbal teas are a great choice too.

So if you’re a dedicated diet soda addict, experiment with eliminating it from your diet.  I say ditch them altogether if you can – they certainly don’t help you and the long term effects are unknown.

I hope this is helpful! Wishing you toxin-free health!

Harley Quinn vs. Big Barda...in Wayne Manor!

Hey DCnU, screw your Suicide Squad Issue #7! Here's the only real issue #7 for true Harley Quinn fans! Back when DC knew how to treat Harley Quinn. Kesel and the Dodsons rocked!

My favorite part of this whole Kesel/Dodson/Dodson run (which I am re-reading of late) is how the animated universe is basically Harley's Point of View: validating the existence of the Batman Animated Universe in DC Comics proper.

Well, before DC Comics proper became...improper. Thank god for back issues!

STOP THE PRESSES! Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn - First Official Image!

David Ayers just released a full-cast in-character image on Twitter for the upcoming Suicide Squad movie, and yadda yadda I cropped out all those nobodies because who cares about anyone but Harley Quinn played by Margot Robbie.

Okay, so there's pretty much nothing that says 'Harley Quinn' here. Too much blue, no harlequin-esque patterns, no diamonds, no kabuki makeup, no domino mask. And tattoos. Sexy? Sure. Harley? Not much.

I won't get all 'nerd-rage' though. This is one image. There are a LOT more images in the film at 24fps, and there is story, script and actor ability still left to factor in here.

EDIT: On-set photos are hitting all over the net today. here are a couple closer looks at Harley via Jimmy Palmiotti:

I admit, these look a little more on target, with red/blue colors reminiscent of her New 52 iteration. Not a fan of the face/neck tattoos but the neck tattoo appears to say "Puddin'". The 'Property of Joker' on the jacket is a nice touch, as is the baseball bat.

Okay fine, here's everyone else too. Katana looks good, I have to admit. Neat seeing a live-action Killer Croc as well!

  1. Am not for sure how i feel about this movie just yet.

  2. Quinn looks delicious. Cool to see Croc (even if short).

Recyled plastic made into shoes

Being an animal lover and avid recycler nothing breaks my heart more than to see pictures of birds who have swallowed plastic or sea turtles that are stuck in drink wrappers. Try as we might to reduce plastic, it is still turning up on the shores of many beaches. As such, three friends, Charles DuffyWilliam Gubbins, and Billy Turvey, got together to come up with a way of communicating the link between waste and consumerism, “and the disposability of contemporary products” in a project they call “Everything You Buy Is Rubbish”. Using plastic waste they found along UK shores the three friends made a pair of shoes out of the rubbish they found. Check out the video on design milk to see how they did it.

How to Create a Stunning Example of Beautiful Designs

Over my 12 years of graphic design I came to discover in my creative process that whimsy, irony, satire and edginess are not my strong suits.

I have learned, however, that I can create full on, no excuses beauty. So that's where I went with my next in a series of videos featuring my designs. I used the prettiest colors, pleasing dimensions and lovely music.

If it's in my power to put forth beauty in the world, I'm gonna do it!

How to Present Floral Designs in an Innovative Way

I first found Animoto when wanting to make book trailers for Loveweaver and The Maiden Seer.

It occurred to me early on, though, that I could make a video using large images of my designs set to music. I plan to make several, each showcasing a different genre of my designs.

I love the results!

Dynamic Auto Painter

I'm not one for specialty software for creating art. I use CS6 Illustrator, the master program that allows me to design vector patterns with mathematical precision. And I use Photoshop for a few subtle effects, but mostly for formatting raster files.

It's highly unlikely that I'll ever learn to paint, though. So, I was intrigued from the start with Dynamic Auto Painter for $99 - on sale for $50. After thinking about it 6 months, I bought it.

Gosh, it's fun! There are a lot of painting styles to choose from and countless custom options for tweaking the process. But I just like to pick a style, click play, sit there and watch it paint whatever image I've opened!  Be assured this is not like Photoshop filter.

For $50, I got more than my money's worth. Only time will tell if it will be useful to me professionally. (Click on my images to enlarge them.)

Here is a photo of the lake I see from my back door:

Here's what it looks like after I used the Van Gogh Starry style:
Here's a closeup. I started with a high res image and ended up with fantastic detail:

Book Trailer for The Maiden Seer

It's not my usual line of work, being a writer. I learned early on I probably wouldn't make a living from it.

That didn't stop me from writing 5 books, however. Two of them are available at Amazon right now.

I came across a book trailer and decided it was something I had to try. So I did!

Here's the book trailer for The Maiden Seer:  https://youtu.be/tTtyAYpmX7o

New Cover for Loveweaver

My first Loveweaver cover achieved my purpose, but over time, especially after I created the cover for my upcoming book, The Maiden Seer, I felt the need to make a new one.

I wanted the two covers to have the same style.

Needlepoint Flasks and Wallets

Graphic designers who create repeating patterns dream of seeing those patterns on products. I've been lucky enough to see my designs on Kleenex boxes, rugs, fabric, paper, sheets and blankets.

I'm certain, though, for every 500 pattern designers, there's one client looking to buy. This means the odds are not great in making a sale. Do you give up being a graphic designer in the surface art arena?

Heck, no.

I took on freelance jobs that were a bit outside of what I normally did, and learned a ton of new skills that I now put to use for a list of great clients.

One of those clients is Seth at Needlepaint.  I've blogged about Needlepaint before when I did a series of Christmas stockings.

My recent contribution is the wallets and flasks which turned out to be some of the most fun I've ever had designing professionally. There's just something about pixel art, which is basically what it is, that appeals to me. Elements in an image are pared down to the most essential, and the color palette is limited, too.

As of this posting, all the flask designs at Needlepaint are mine. I'm so proud of this work. And there's scarcely a repeating pattern in sight.

Transcript of doorstop

Subjects: Craig Thomson, Budget.

Transcript, E&OE

12 May 2012

CRAIG EMERSON: [first sentence inaudible]

Politicians should not sit as judge and jury on these matters. That would be a very big risk to our democracy to have happen what Tony Abbott wants to happen, and that is he seeks to appoint himself as judge and Coalition MPs as jury and to find Craig Thomson guilty. He's not actually been charged with anything, but Mr Abbott has decided that he's guilty and he wants to evict him from the House of Representatives. If we go down that path, then our democracy is under very serious risk because politicians should not be making the judgements that police and properly appointed judges make. Mr Thomson hasn't actually been charged with anything but Mr Abbott has not only considered the evidence and decided that Mr Thomson is guilty and he wants the support of….[break in audio]

It is inappropriate for me as a politician to make a judgement about Mr Thomson's evidence. That is the role of the investigators; it is the role of judges and juries if indeed charges were ever laid – it is not the role of politicians. There is a fundamental principle in this country called the Separation of Powers and it should be left to the investigators and to the proper legal processes to take their course without pressure; without interference and without replacement by Mr Abbott and the Coalition appointing themselves as judge and jury.

JOURNALIST: What do you expect to hear from his parliamentary statement?

EMERSON: Well, I think Mr Thomson should be allowed to make his parliamentary statement in due course, which I understand will be upon the resumption of parliament.

JOURNALIST: He's no longer a Labor minister though – sorry, a Labor member. Do you feel that you keep having to defend him even though he's no longer a part of your Party?

EMERSON: I believe fundamentally in these principles: the Separation of Powers, where we have judicial processes and we have political processes and they should not become the one thing. The day that the politicians of any country appoint themselves as judges and jury is a very bad day for our democracy – that should not happen.

JOURNALIST: Minister, there were also two polls out this morning taken just after the Budget. Are you concerned that perhaps this cash splash didn't actually work?

EMERSON: Well, opinion polls will always be conducted immediately after the Budget, I understand that this one was Wednesday and Thursday night. The proof of this Budget will be in the living; and the living experience of the Budget will be that this Government is easing cost of living pressures in a modest way and we're doing that through the Schoolkids Bonus and increases in family payments, both of which Mr Abbott has said that he will abolish. He will abolish the Schoolkids Bonus and he will not proceed with the increases in family payments. He will grab them back from Australian mums and dads – why? Because Mr Abbott has said publicly that he can't trust the mums and dads of Australia to spend the Schoolkids bonus and family payments on the children of Australia. He says that they will go and splurge it on the poker machines. That is a disgusting indictment by Mr Abbott; it's a disgraceful comment and he should apologise to the mums and dads of Australia.

JOURNALIST: So, are you worried about this poll and do you think it will further destabilise Julia Gillard's leadership?

EMERSON: We do what we need to do and that is govern in the national interest. We are bringing the Budget to surplus; a surplus is a sign of a strong economy and it gives us a buffer against global uncertainty. And at the same time, in bringing the Budget to surplus, we are making a contribution to easing cost of living pressures. Good policy is good politics – this is good policy.

Thanks very much.

Italian Language Lessons

HP has several benefits for us to take advantage of before and during our time in Italy. Language lessons are one of them. We each get up to 150 hours of language instruction from Berlitz Language services. They have language centers all over the US and internationally. They offer classroom and online instruction. The local office is in Portland. Since Portland is about 2 hours away, it is really not that convenient to drive there 2-3 times a week.

Thankfully we can do it online. Its a live session with a real instructor. We had to download some 'classroom' software and purchase a better headset/microphone.

I registered this week and have my orientation session this morning. After that, I can schedule language sessions as much as I want to. They suggest 3 90 minute sessions a week.

Katrina and I will begin working on the lessons this next week. Since the online program is not setup for children, we will wait until we move to Italy for Brandon to begin lessons. He also gets 150 hours of language lessons. Fortuanately Berlitz has a language center in Monza Italy, where we hope to live. Brandon will also have Italian lessons three times a week at the International School he will be attending.

Our Italian adventure begins in approximately 7 weeks...

Neutral Day for the Giro d'Italia

Today's stage 4 of the Giro d'Italia was run as a neutral day for racing.  The ride would go on, but there would be no racing, no classifications, no points or time earned and no awards ceremonies.  The only ceremony was a moment of silence for Wouter Weylandt, the Leopard Trek rider who lost his life during a high speed downhill crash yesterday.

Today was all about his memory.  Each team took turns leading the pack for about 10 km each.  The crowds were amazing.  Huge and respectful.  Instead of loud cheering and urging the riders on, there was only respectful clapping as they passed by.  Many people held up banners with Wouters name and rider number.  A fitting tribute.

In the last 10 km Team Leopard Trek were given the honor of leading the peleton and crossing the finish line together.  His best friend and fellow cyclist, Tylar Ferrar, joined Leopard Trek at the finish.

After an evening of consultation with the team, Team Leopard Trek decided to pull out of the Giro d'Italia for this year.

Tomorrow, the race continues, but I'm sure this tragedy will still be in everyones thoughts.

Home » Trans-Continental » Transit in Asia » Transit in Taiwan

An extensive network of transit services in Taipei is provided by 15 private agencies governed by the Taipei County Traffic Bureau and administered by Taipei Joint Bus Service Management Centre, with over 500 bus routes serving 2 million people everyday. Most of the buses are made by Japanese manufacturers such as Hino and Isuzu, Korean manufacturer Daewoo and Hungarian manufacturer Ikarus. With the improved relationship between Taiwan and China, more and more Chinese buses manufactured by King Long and Yutong have been introduced in Taipei since 2008. Last but not least, it is also interesting to note that Taipei is the only city in Asia that operates MCI 96A3 (and MC9 in the past) imported all the way from North America.

TTC eyes Google for planning trips

Commuters could call up best routes

No estimate yet on costs, time frame

Mar. 21, 2006. 12:16 PM

Planning a quick trip across town using public transit could one day be a matter of simply Googling the route.

Tomorrow, the TTC will consider an offer by the Internet search engine Google, which wants to give commuters free online trip information.

Google has asked the TTC for station, stop, schedule and route data to create a trip planner so commuters could input origin and destination points to get the shortest or fastest routes.

Google is running a pilot project with Portland (Ore.) Transit. The TTC had looked into doing its own for about $2 million. There are no cost estimates or time frame for the Google deal.

“It’s a work in progress,” said Alice Smith, TTC acting chief marketing officer. “We support trip planning for our customers. We just have to figure out the best way to get there.”

Smith said the TTC wants to review all technologies for ways to marry systems. For example, a technology providing real-time information on the arrival of the next bus that can be posted at stops might be merged with Google’s mapping system.

TTC chair Howard Moscoe is not so sure he wants to wait, saying it’s too good an idea.

“It looks to me like the costs are minimal,” he said. “I think we should bring it about rather than wait for the staff to develop all of their systems, because it can happen very quickly.”

Meanwhile, the TTC will officially unveil elevators today to make the Broadview subway station fully accessible. The elevators allow access from the street level to the eastbound and westbound subway platforms.

Other station features include an automatic entrance door, an easier access fare gate, and elevator intercoms and closed-circuit TV. Broadview station was identified as a key candidate for elevators because about 27,000 people use it daily, and it connects to six surface routes.

By 2007, 30 of the TTC’s 69 subway and Scarborough RT stations will be accessible.

The TTC is also adding a “move to the back of the bus” taped audio message to its bus fleet, piggybacking it on an automated stop announcement system being tested. It’s an acknowledgement that buses are getting too crowded, said Moscoe.

Drivers will be able to press a button to deliver the message.

  Cool...Not Cool

I took the kids and the wife for a bike ride on Saturday. We meanderd around Reston and I wanted to eventually head down to the Cross County Trail (CCT). I had heard that the trail was complete from Occoquan to Great Falls, but its mostly singletrack just off the WOD. I'm giving a shout out to Vance who yelled out "Faster" as he passed us on our way to Performance Bike. Although its really hard to hear what people say when they scream out a window, that was cool. Adrienne was riding a bit wonky at the time, so I was worried about upsetting other drivers. Vance and I chatted a bit at Performance.

Back on the trail we had to stop at McD's on Wiehle to feed the kids and Adrienne. Pulling the kids in the trailer is a great workout, but there are constant interruptions and you can't be out long or they get antsy...Then we headed over to the CCT to see what it was like. Northbound quickly became singletrack, so I eventually had to turn the bike around. I definitely need to get a mountain bike.

Southbound on the CCT was a bit better, the trail was hardpacked and wide enough for the trailer to get through without a problem. The bridge was out along the way, so we stayed on a smaller trail and it eventually caught up with Hunter Station Road. There's a pretty decent climb there, so I convinced Adrienne to go up it. We then made a bee-line for the trail, then we rolled into Herndon and got some Bread at Great Harvest Bread Co. The kids love stopping there.

On the last stretch of road before our development, some guy in a pickup truck yelled out "Road Kill" as he passed. Not cool, especially with our kids in tow.

We spent three days and two different trips loading up two trucks and two trailers in 106 degree temps just to get here and unload during a thunderstorm. Fun was had by all! LOL

It will be a few more days before I am organized enough to start posting regularly again (plus I need to get out and take some photos) but I am slowly getting things back to being where they should.

This photo was taken on the morning of my last hike in the Wichitas, at least until this fall when I go back to do some more "hiking". The temps were headed to over 100 on this day so I actually got out of bed early to go hiking just to beat the heat. Some things were found that may make my life easier this winter providing I have the brain power to turn the information into something useful.

  1. FLASH!!! FLASH!!!

    Rare Photo of a Sunrise captured by The Roving Reporter from the camera of the Mountain Gazzette photo journalist Ron. On the last day before departure to the Eastern Plains of Kansas, He delighted his loyal followers with a ' Farewell Pic until Fall' showing a well composed and dramatic shot of a Sunrise in the Wichitas.

    Observers and readers of this publication are anxlously awaiting what this 'Photographer on the Fly' will bring to their doorstep from the reaches of 'Toto and Dorothy' !! LOL

    Glad you had a safe move and will miss you both on my trips to the Refuge.

  2. I totally agree with your take on moving! Next time I have to move anywhere I'm only taking what will fit in the truck and travel trailer. Our ultimate plan is to will the house and everything in it to our kids and they can deal with everything! LOL

    Beautiful sunrise you captured and nice frame for it too!

  3. I'm glad to hear you, and Cheryl have a safe trip back home. Hopefully, I will join you on a hiking trip in the Fall. By the way, I like the lighting, and the colors on this picture. Make sure to pack this lens in your Hawaii trip.

Thank you for taking the time to look at our blog, we appreciate your comments!
