I have a hostname lookup problem with the server hosting this blog that I haven’t bothered to fix as well as the fact the low-end firewall I use doesn’t support DNS loopback.
Unfortunately, this combination of issues makes follow-on problems for WordPress’ scheduling feature. A simple solution is to set a cron job.

Works for me!
The way to change your password at the database-level as posted here is wrong.
The correct query on a MySQL database with the MD5() function is
UPDATE wp_users SET user_pass=MD5(‘$some_password’) WHERE ID = $USER_ID;
Where $some_password is your new hard to crack password and $USER_ID is the user_id of the password you want to change.
In Senate testimony provided by a former French Sports Minister, when the city of Paris was bidding to host the Summer Games, Hein Verbruggen as IOC games site selection committee member AND the guy that runs the International Cycling Federation, demand France suspend it’s stricter doping laws for the duration of the potential Summer games.
So, the basis of the drama of the Summer Olympic Games is very likely sports fraud. The IOC is enabling doping. If I’m aware of it, then elite IOC sanctioned sports athletes must be aware of this.
There are a number of IOC sanctioned athletes that have admitted to doping their entire career after years of denials and hiding behind “never tested positive.” Now we know the most important part of the anti-doping system, the IOC, plays a vital role in athletes doping.
Specific to elite cycling, the guy running the UCI is promoting doping! It’s now clear that Armstrong and other cyclists caught doping are only a small part of the doping problem. The federation’s leaders are actively engaged in enabling doping.
Mysteriously, sportswriters who cover the Olympic games (Bob Fausulo, Alan Abrahamson to name two) are not covering the story.
If there was ever a guy that deserves a WADA ban, it’s got to be Chris Carmichael.
That guy has poisoned cycling for decades and has reappeared at another cycling publication, Road Bike Action, with this interview.
The most obvious lie is this one, “RBA: Speaking of Lance, what do you say about the accusations that are there about your own history with doping?
Chris: While I know that it did occur, I never saw it occurring. Also, I never doped any of the athletes I worked with. “
Hmm, well it seems Greg Strock and others feel differently as you bought your way out of their lawsuit against USA Cycling where you were head of the Junior development program at the time. 60 Minutes did a great story on the whole sordid affair.
It’s a shame because it’s the coordinated efforts of people like Tim Maloney, presumably Zap, and Carmichael that discredit cycling as a legitimate sport in the U.S. Not to mention what it does to what little credibility Road Bike Action ever had.
A big, belated thank-you to everyone who worked the 2013 Solvang century. Special thanks go out to law enforcement and the military personnel working the 2013 Solvang Century.
I heard some grumbling about waiting to enter and leave the Air Force base. I waited along with everyone else and had no problem. The service people handled everyone in an efficient manner.
It was a tough day with a headwind right from the start then for most of the ride. By the time all the climbing on Foxen Canyon Road started, I know my legs were toasted.
I find it interesting there is a limited number of GPS-results posted on either Strava or RidewithGPS. My estimation is because it was slow times for everyone. My estimation the wind added 1.5 hours or more to everyone’s ride.
My own time was ridiculously long, at about 8 hours. Which is okay given the +/- four hours I workout every week.
It seemed like attendance was down a bit. Maybe the weather scared people away?
As mentioned in this article, http://veloclinic.tumblr.com/post/43497464034/according-to-spanish-newspaper-el-mundo-maria-de
Eufemiano Fuentes got approval to distribute numerous doping products in Spain from the Spanish Government.
Given the way Fuentes has behaved at the trial and outside the trial, he appears ready to do a Floyd Landis and get specific with doping accusations should the trial end badly for him. Unlike Landis, he talks like he has been central to quite a bit of doping in Spain.
For those not following along, this means the bigger sports like football (Soccer in the U.S.) and tennis athletes could finally have their own doping programs uncovered as well as the inevitable cooperation of the sports federations.
It probably helps having your business partner from Tailwind running the UCI’s American cycling federation. Did USA Cycling forget to vacate Lance Armstrong’s results?
Will the USOC or even the IOC will have a problem with that?
It may be a case of some editing never done because the results from the 1999 World Championships have no mention of Armstrong.

Stolen from chowhound.com but absolutely accurate for a bunch of online communities….
you ask a simple question, and get techniques with the implication you’re not doing it right as an answer. i’ve seen it a million times, and i no longer sweat. nature of the beast. i asked about which deep fryers, eg, have bottom drains for easy emptying, and any experiences – i got many posts about why cooking in a pot with a thermometer is better than a deep fryer – all ignoring that cooking pots do not have bottom drains, and thus have nothing to do with what i asked. I’ve seen it on threads about cooking duck, cookware, and every sort of technique under the sun,this is what happens when people – myself included – think we are experts at something. it’s a common disconnect – and an endemic one
A stunning thread from the Leadville discussion group at Yahoo. Lance keeps his win done as a doped cyclist. Some weekend warriors clearly have a doping problem.

Please don’t jack my thread with your opinions on his innocence or guilt -
there is plenty of that all over the web. 
My question relates to the Leadville 100.
Does Lance keep his 2009 win/trophy/buckle?
p.s. Thank you Lance for coming out to the pre-rider meeting this year, I
will remember it forever.

The USADA does not have the authority to take any wins away from him. Leadville is no different.

The USADA is polluting the sport. They should have never jumped into the storm. Whether or not Lance violated the rules (with the majority of the peloton) is irrelevant. He helped make this race what it is. He also helped raise more than $500M for cancer research and treatment. In my view, it is therefore a legit subject for the forum. Who cares if the UCI (a bunch of French axxholes) takes his titles away. Fortunately enough, it appears that the promoters of this event appreciate what he has done for the sport, the Leadville 100 MTB race; and society. If you prefer to hear endless threads about how starting in the back coral cost some fat guy from Dakota a small belt buckle, that is fine. But for me personally, I would also like to read about the injustice of the USADA focusing on a guy, seven years after the fact, that may contribute to the treatment of my mother’s cancer. Stop looking at your handlebars. There is a world beyond your Garmin.

Rode the race before Lance, rode during Lance, riding after Lance. He is an Icon and I have a signed jersey on my wall from the Leadville 100 that I am very proud of. He signed next the Ken, Rebecca, Dave, Max and many others…. Hope the best for him. Every time I sit on the trainer, watching the DVD’s, I am proud to be a part of those races. Without him, the video never would have been made, the world might not be as exposed to this race. At least this spices up the thread during a usually slow time till it all starts again…..
Hope you are getting pumped watched the Pro cycling Challenge!! Very exciting today and tomorrow could be more. What better way to rest up before the training begins again.

In an effort to preserve the myth that Lance Armstrong was physically gifted, longtime competitive cycling writer John Wilcockson rewrites history to fashion some sort of “Lance Armstrong was super-human anyway” myth out of the ashes of USADA’s finding of fact.
In this story, Mr. Wilcockson repeats a well-worn myth that somehow Lance Armstrong was some kind of globally elite cyclist as a Junior. The facts are Armstrong was doping under Wenzel and Carmichael’s USA Cycling junior development program at the time of this event in 1989.
Was Armstrong good on a National scale without doping? Maybe. Was he internationally competitive without performance enhancing drugs? Maybe. The point is there is no way to know.
