  1. I can really recommend the book Love and Respect, by Dr Emerson Eggerichs. Might not give you a better definition but will answer what question "what are we looking for" re love.
  2. Was also looking forward to riding there during my December holiday break but was very disappointing. Was there two years ago and it was AWESOME!
  3. The fork seems to have had some spring action, amazing that it went rigid for decades before shocks were introduced.
  4. Pdf version here: My link
  5. My link Very interesting story this.Subscribing not needed, just click on the article.
  6. Not naming names, but come liff in my town for a year and see if you still want to complain.
  7. thanks DD, it's cold & with no budget, will wait for 13-16 October http://www.photofilmexpo.com/
  8. Is the Photo and hi-fi expo at Gallagher worth while?
  9. My link
  10. shipped 28 feb and still waiting, exact same saddle as my broken Kore i-beam, really want to ride my bicycle by now...
  11. just google: word1 word2 site:www.thehuhsa.co.za
  12. Very sorry to hear! We protect ourselves with helmets, sunscreen, knee and whatever guards needed, but the biggest threat we can do very little about.Glad you're physically OK.
  13. Also bee sure your heart can take it. How is the pulse when you decide to get off & start pushing up a hill?. If there's any irregular beats go see a doc. Think about other symptoms you may be experiencing. Up to the age of 22 I had a heart rhythm problem associated with exercise. After that was fixed life changed for me & I could give all when I wanted to, no problem. Remember, it will get better.
  14. Did you do the upper & lower canary routes in Jonkers? I spent holiday time there December, managed to get to Tokai and Lebanon as well. Awesome places when you're coming from Gauteng! Near town there's also Coetzenburg around to Eden you can do. Mountain-Bike-Trails
  15. Awesome, thanks for the feedback, stuff like that is what one remembers long after any race.
  16. Thanks for the post. Also had cramping lately & think it might also have to do with heat. Took Potassium and Magnesium but will add more Calcium in the mix.
  17. Phew, whatta thread, my 2 cents: I do Nokia 6710 navigator, and although the keys are very unpredictable and the zoom slider gives you gray hair, I keep it & use ST a lot, + love to take pictures while cruising around & can later see where they were taken. As i'm no podium finisher and rather watch where i'm going, real time data is not an issue. Also found a race is very rarely the distance given at briefing, so exact distance done is not saying much.It does it's thing inside my camelback and on being rather lost at times,has helped me to the nearest tar road. ST community i also find interesting, pics from guys all over the world, some taken at places only MTBers can appreciate. In short: one device, many features, all of which dedicated pricier units can do better, but works for me.
  18. OK I'm in, Featherbrooke Village, c/o H Potgieter and Peter right? Will we at least be a quorum ;^) ? I'm on the bright yellow MTB.
  19. If my admin works out I hope to join the group on Saturday.
  20. Took it during Sabie Exp. in 2008 after some very good results during training. Do think it helped me... but next Saturday night I was on my way to ER with a kidney stone. Never had kidney stone before or after that.
  21. Anybody riding around here this weekend???
  22. And remember, it will NOT be as clean and clinical as in these pictures.
  23. Amy MacDonald - Love, Love
  24. Wow, looks like a few airline guys learned an expensive lesson, skoolgeld, soos ons s?.
  25. There's a email about a 340-600 crashing, with pics, any truth in the story? This brand spanking new Airbus 340-600, the largest passenger airplane ever built, sits just outside its hangar in Toulouse , France without a single hour of airtime. Enter the Arab flight crew of Abu Dhabi Aircraft Technologies (ADAT) to conduct pre-delivery tests on the ground such as engine run-ups, prior to delivery to Etihad Airways in Abu Dhabi . The ADAT crew taxied the A340-600 to the run-up area. Then they took all four engines to takeoff power with a virtually empty aircraft. Not having read the run-up manuals, they had no clue just how light an empty A340-600 really is. The takeoff warning horn was blaring away in the cockpit because they had All 4 engines at full power. The aircraft computers thought they were trying to take off, but it had not been configured properly (flaps/slats, etc.) Then one of the ADAT crew decided to pull the circuit breaker on the Ground Proximity Sensor to silence the alarm. This fools the aircraft into thinking it is in the air. The computers automatically released all the brakes and set the aircraft rocketing forward. The ADAT crew had no idea that this is a safety feature so that pilots can't land with the brakes on. Not one member of the seven-man Arab crew was smart enough to throttle back the engines from their max power setting, so the $200 million brand-new aircraft crashed into a blast barrier, totaling it. The extent of injuries to the crew is unknown due to the news blackout in the major media in France and elsewhere. Because........ Coverage of the story was deemed insulting to Muslim Arabs. Finally, the photos are starting to leak out. . One French Airbus: $200 million dollars Untrained Arab Flight Crew: $300,000 Yearly Salary Unread Operating Manual: $300 Aircraft meets retaining wall and the wall wins. PRICELESS!!! "And that's why God gave them camels"!
