During his tenure as UH's athletic director, David Matlin hired a record 16 head coaches, helped student athlete graduation rates and grade point averages hit all-time highs, and oversaw $103 million in facility upgrades. “It's always about getting 1% better,” he says. “That's kind of my mantra.” Matlin credits much of the department's achievements during his eight-year tenure to the hard work of his colleagues and student athletes. “I just believe when our teams are doing well, people are happier here,” he says. “When people are happier here in Hawai‘i, business is better, people treat people better. I mean, it matters. The eight years I spent in this job stewarding that responsibility, that was special to know that you can make an impact to the community, to uplift it."

“CODA” won three Oscars this year: Best Picture, Best Actor in a Supporting Role, and Writing (Adapted Screenplay). When making “CODA,” Marlee Matlin, who won an Oscar in 1987 for “Children of a Lesser God,” realized she was usually the only Deaf person on a set. She told KCRW in January: “I'm the one typically going to my trailer by myself, and it's just me and my interpreter. But in all honesty, I never thought of it until I got on the set of ‘CODA' and realized there's a whole different world out there I've been missing all this time. Realizing that here I am, on the set of ‘CODA,' in my element at lunch time, because everybody is signing. The hearing crew — they're signing, there's Deaf cast members, and most importantly, our director learned sign language.” KCRW reairs its conversation with director Siân Heder and Matlin. Also in a new Banter, Matt Belloni talks to Lucas Shaw about what happens now as the WarnerMedia Discovery merger is imminent. 

Il titolo della ventiduesima puntata della quarta stagione di J-TACTICS, trae spunto da​​ "Figli di un dio minore" (Children of a lesser god), che è un film del 1986 diretto da Randa Haines.Interpretato da William Hurt e Marlee Matlin.James Leeds, giovane insegnante dai metodi moderni, arriva in una scuola per audiolesi e immediatamente riscuote soddisfazioni insperate. Sarah Norman, ragazza sordomuta, addetta alle pulizie dell'istituto, ha un rifiuto psicologico all'aiuto di chicchessia, ma James, affascinato dalla vitalità intellettuale della giovane, se ne innamora e riesce a recuperare la volontà della ragazza.Pur con molte difficoltà, non ultimo il direttore dell'istituto che osteggia l'insegnante, Leeds riuscirà a far capire a Sarah che è lui che ha bisogno di lei.Meritato Oscar alla Matlin, portatrice vera di questo handicap, per la migliore interpretazione.Facendo la nostra solita trasposizione dalla cinematografia al mondo del calcio, ed in modo particolare alle vicende juventine, potremo utilizzare il titolo e le vicende narrate nella pellicola per analizzare la vittoria degli uomini di Allegri in quel di Marassi a Genova contro i blucerchiati padroni di casa.Altri 3 punti che allungano la striscia positiva, 15 risultati utili consecutivi in campionato, di cui 10 successi.Bianconeri con un passo visibilmente superiore alle altre: 35 punti conquistati con una media di 2,33.Buone notizie in casa della vecchia signora.Non sono solo i numeri, tuttavia a far sorridere, Massimiliano Allegri ha finalmente trovato la quadratura del cerchio di centrocampo.Il tecnico livornese dopo diversi esperimenti ha individuato in Arthur il perno intorno al quale costruire un centrocampo di sostanza e qualità, affiancando Locatelli e Rabiot all'ex blaugrana.Il brasiliano, impiegato per mesi pochissimo e mai insieme all'azzurro, era dato come quasi sicuro partente a gennaio.Un "figlio di in Dio minore", proprio come la protagonista della pellicola da cui trae spunto l'odierna puntata di J-TACTICS.Arthur Melo, poco o nulla considerato da Max Allegri per il suo "handicap" di non essere un regista in grado di dettare i tempi del centrocampo juventino.Figlio di un Dio minore, appunto nonostante la sua fama tra Gremio e Barça.Il brasiliano invece è rimasto e ora le tante assenze lo hanno catapultato in campo, tra i protagonisti della rimonta delle ultime settimane. Parabola strana quella del ragazzo di Goiânia, passato da sicuro (o quasi) partente a pedina centrale della mediana bianconera.Una stagione travagliata per Arthur, iniziata in salita per i postumi di un intervento chirurgico subito in estate per rimuovere un'ossificazione della membrana interossea alla gamba destra, ed una lunga riabilitazione conclusa con la ripresa della stagione con la prima convocazione per il derby d'andata lo scorso 2 ottobre, partendo dalla panchina, ovviamente. Un lungo percorso ad ostacoli e con handicap come la Marlee del film di Haines.Nel vittorioso match di Marassi contro la Sampdoria di Mister Giampaolo, Arthur e Manuel Locatelli sono stati titolari in tandem per la quarta volta consecutiva, con uno score che dimostra la bontà della scelta tecnico tattica fatta da Allegri, 3 successi su 3, con un aumento dei gol fatti (2 contro 1,5 in assenza di uno dei due) e una diminuzione di quelli subiti (0,3 contro 1).Per il rilancio del brasiliano sono risultati decisivi essenzialmente due fattori. A livello tattico il cambio di modulo, con una Juventus progressivamente passata al 4-3-3.Secondo i dettami tattici del tecnico livornese infatti, i giocatori nella linea di metà campo devono essere in grado di fornire i giusti tempi di gioco, smistando passaggi geometrici per il reparto offensivo.Allo stesso tempo chi occupa la linea mediana deve però assistere anche la difesa, ecco che allora a sopperire alle mancanze difensive di Arthur provvede Locatelli, in possesso di un background per dare una mano al reparto arretrato e contemporaneamente anche essere pericoloso con gli inserimenti in fase offensiva.Il secondo fattore poi che ha collocato Arthur in rampa di lancio è stato l'infortunio di Zakaria a Empoli.Da quel momento in poi, Allegri è stato costretto a fare di necessità virtù, proponendo insieme la coppia, da molti reclamata, italo brasiliana.Una nuova vita per Arthur alla Juve, così come i protagonisti della pellicola sono riusciti ad abbattere il muro creato dall'handicap parlando la lingua universale dell'amore, così allo stesso modo il centrocampista brasiliano e la vecchia signora hanno superato le incomprensioni con la lingua universale del calcio che conta, il DNA vincente che li accomuna.Arthur non è più "un figlio di un Dio minore", o forse non lo è mai stato.Diteci la vostra, interagiremo con voi in chat live! ​ ​Ecco i link dei nostri social:CANALE TELEGRAM:https://t.me/joinchat/AAAAAE2Dp-yj5b1N4SNcMQINSTAGRAM:https://instagram.com/jtactics_?igshid=1fg7nrkzhl2mtFACEBOOK:http://m.facebook.com/jtacticsmdn/

Troy Kotsur is a study in perseverance. The Arizona native spent years honing his craft on stage at the National Theatre of the Deaf and the Deaf West Theatre in Los Angeles—all the while wondering if Hollywood could ever fully embrace a deaf actor. “It's almost like a hair in my beard, just this one hair, and that represents the opportunities that I was given,” he says. But that drive—or “stubbornness,” as he himself puts it—has finally paid off on a historic level. For his role in writer/director Sian Heder's “CODA,” Kotsur has been the one constant of this year's awards season, snagging wins at the Gotham Awards, the SAG Awards, and Independent Spirit Awards on the road to the 94th Academy Awards, where he is nominated for best supporting actor. A win would mark the first for a deaf male actor, and just the second for a deaf actor ever behind the trailblazing footsteps of Kotsur's “CODA” co-star, Marlee Matlin. In this “In the Envelope” episode, Kotsur walks Backstage through every stage of his winding journey, from the lessons learned from live theater, to a brief pitstop in the “Star Wars” galaxy, to the significance of his belated “CODA” breakthrough. Along the way, he offers invaluable advice to all actors—deaf or hearing—on the power of on-screen silence, scene partner eye contact, and never giving up.

Oscar-winning actress Marlee Matlin is usually the only Deaf person on a set. Matlin came to a big realization when making “CODA,” a breakthrough film featuring Deaf actors. “I'm the one typically going to my trailer by myself, and it's just me and my interpreter. But in all honesty, I never thought of it until I got on the set of ‘CODA' and realized there's a whole different world out there I've been missing all this time,” Matlin says. “Realizing that here I am, on the set of ‘CODA,' in my element at lunch time, because everybody is signing. The hearing crew — they're signing, there's Deaf cast members, and most importantly, our director learned sign language.” Director Siân Heder and Matlin tell KCRW about making their family drama “CODA,” which scored a record-breaking deal at Sundance last year and has already made history. For the first time, a film featuring a Deaf cast has been nominated for Outstanding Performance at the SAG Awards.

The saga that is the current state of the #HawaiiFB team got considerably more public when state senators convened after receiving numerous complaints about Head Coach Todd Graham and about the Athletic Department from non-football players as well. After hearing heart-wrenching accounts given by former players, parents and very well-respected members of the Local community, University leaders chose to deflect instead of show sympathy to the many victims who stepped forward, saying that the senators had "cherry-picked" testimony. The SuperFans - Shane "Laulauhead" Agno, Sean Eyman and, host, Wayne Coito - share what they believe should happen next as public sentiment toward the coach and the UH football program, in general, begins to sour.

A corporate lawyer video tapes Duncan taking the head of fellow immortal Matlin, and decides to blackmail MacLeod in to killing his wife for him. What could possibly go wrong there? It gets more interesting when Lyman Kurlow gets involved...

If there's any hope that writer-director Sian Heder has for her Sundance-winning film "CODA," it's for her actors to get the recognition they deserve. It's a fair hope that her actors, including deaf performers Marlee Matlin, Troy Kotsur, and Daniel Durant, would receive accolades that so rarely come to performances like these. The Oscar-winning Matlin is one of the rare exceptions, though Heder notes Matlin still hasn't had the career she deserves. "CODA" centers on Ruby, a hearing child of deaf adults, played by newcomer Emilia Jones. Roughly 40% of the film is comprised of ASL, something that brought unique challenges for Heder. In a conversation with Next Best Picture, Heder discusses the missed opportunities she sees when creators avoid casting actors with a disability and why she wants the world to see Troy Kotsur and Daniel Durant as major stars. Speaking of Troy Kotsur, watching "Children of a Lesser God" as a 17-year-old, he promised his friends that he would work with Marlee Matlin one day. Thirty-five years later, he's made good on that promise in "CODA." Kotsur still recalls the impact of seeing Sign Language on screen all those years ago. Though films like "Sound of Metal" and "Feeling Through" were nominated for Academy Awards just last year, it's still a rarity to see deaf representation at the movies, which is why Kotsur is honored to star in a film that could inspire a new generation of young people. In a conversation with Next Best Picture, Kotsur discussed how the story of "CODA" parallels his own family and how he collaborated with director Sian Heder to bring authenticity to the film.

A conversation with John McCarrell, founder of the upcoming Mt. Lemmon Gravel Grinder in Tucson, Arizona.   This event will test riders' equipment choice, skills and climbing legs as they tackle the backside of the formidable Mt. Lemmon.  Episode Links: Mt. Lemmon Gravel Grinder Website Mt. Lemmon Gravel Grinder Instagram Automated Transcription (please forgive the errors): John, welcome to the show. Well, thanks. It's a pleasure to be here. As is the tradition. I'd like to start off by asking a little bit just about your background as a cyclist, how you got into the sport and how you eventually found yourself in the gravel sector. Well yeah, so I moved to Tucson in 2002 and started working at, , , right after college and started working at a destination resort here and my folks were living here as they retired and, , got my first taste of mountain biking actually. So that was my intro into cycling, was mountain biking here in the Tucson area with so much great terrain here. So I, I progressed, , into actually becoming a mountain bike guide. So I have a outdoor adventure, cross functional hospitality background at the resorts, , where I started my eight year career basically, and outdoor adventure. So mountain biking was the first part of that. , and then, , through, , friends got onto the road side was very, always was interested on the road side. , as a kid growing up, , riding my bike around our neighborhood and so on and loved the speed and the freedom. So, , but the problem I had was I didn't have a road bike. And so through some friends, great friends actually, , I inherited a road bike and, , did my first El tour to Tucson, , about a month later and I was hooked on the road side as well. So I was bouncing back and forth between, , mountain biking, , somewhat professionally as a guide and also a on my own, but, , also loved the road bike as well. So a lot of, a lot of folks around here in Tucson go back and forth because there's a lot of great roads and great mountain bike trail. So that was, that was through, , through that time period of the early to mid two thousands for me. , and then, , sort of moved away for a couple of years from Tucson, came back, , married and looking to grow a family and, and got back into both of those things. And, , and then just sort of, , fell into the gravel side of things I suppose because, , you know, also I just love riding my bike on dirt roads. So I was just doing that with my mountain bike. , and then as things evolved in the gravel world, , you know, I now was able to get a gravel bike and , and start hitting some of the, , terrain around Arizona. Yeah. It seems pretty natural. As someone who's got a, a knowledge of Tucson through my family down there, I've seen so many dirt roads, , and obviously the mountain biking's great down there. So I can imagine kind of the combination of a drop bar bike that enables you to go off road and combine some of the great road riding there just opened up a whole new type of riding for you and types of destinations that you might head out to on the bike. Yeah, absolutely. And, and you know, some folks who are familiar with Tucson over the years. We're also, we have a lot of great writing, but we also have a lot of horrible roads getting better, much, much better than the recent, , last two or three years. But a lot of rough chip steel and, and, , in monsoon season always brings the gravel and the sand, you know, onto the road surfaces. So I think some, some of the pure roadies felt like they were doing gravel already. , and so going wider, Tyler, you know, for that reason, and then going to bliss for that reason and then saying, Hey, I can, I can now take this thing down my gravel driveway. You know, a lot of folks here still have gravel driveways and such. And then, and then of course, just the freedom of, I can pretty much take this bike anywhere. , and then, you know, as you mentioned, things evolve in the tire. The tires now have knobbies and there's more clearance and , you see a lot more, , certainly a lot more gravel bikes around the Tucson area on all surfaces because of that reason. So it's pretty fantastic. Yeah. And the handful of times I've done the El torta Tucson perimeter ride, there's that river crossing, which inevitably caused flat tires back in the day for people running, you know, 23 see tubed road tires. Yeah, absolutely. So a couple of those crossings and that's what makes that event, , , pretty famous for that reason is, , some folks, , can, can certainly handle a bike in that terrain and get through it and others have to hike a bike, those sections. But, , yeah, absolutely. Right. That's so true. That's so true. So we've got you on today to talk about an event you created the Mount lemon gravel grinder. How did that come to be originally? What was the first year that you ran it? So, , the first year we ran, it was in, , 2016. So, , we're in our fourth year this year, so we've had three years under our belt. , really interesting story. How that came about, came to be. , I actually, , nets, , Susan Frank and her husband, , who produced the old Pueblo grand Prix, which was, , produced in 2011 through 2014 and that was a downtown criterium race, , in downtown Tucson. And at the time was, , sort of getting out of helping some friends of mine, , put on, , or trying to put on the Mount Lemmon grand Fondo, which is a cycling event up the famous Catalina highway on Mount linen. Most people refer to that as Mount lemon highway, but check the technical name for that is Catalina highway, , in the Santa Catalina mountains, Mount lemon being the summit of that. So we were looking at, , putting on the Matlin and grand Fondo on the heels of the Matlin and marathon, which was an uphill marathon and they had just completed their fourth and final year of that event. So, , anyway, I was on the peripheral of that, helping some friends out. , , became a stay at home dad. So I had some time, I wasn't, you know, working full time and, and they decided that wasn't something they wanted to do and they had full time jobs and they were fam, young families and so on. So they, we stopped pursuing the Mount lemon Gran Fondo. But when I had met Susan, it had been two years post old Pueblo grand Prix and she was thinking about bringing that back and possibly tying in the mountain and grand Fondo. And so we sorta headed in this direction for a little while, , almost the year. And we were really in the early stages of exploring those two events and how they could work together and so on. , and, , oddly enough, I guess, or more, I guess it's not oddly, I would say probably more natural for me with my background. As I mentioned before, an outdoor adventure, , at the resort I was working at, I already have this unique relationship with the forest service, , on Mount linen, , with permitting, with putting on events, , with, , logistics, with organizing, , volunteers and a staff of people. I kind of already had this background that I didn't really know I had that could apply to, , you know, special events. And that's when that opened up for me. I really, , embraced it. So when I was just, , discussing this idea with the community of Summerhaven, which is the community on the top of Mount lemon. So folks who ride Catalina highway love to go to the cookie cabin or go to, , the ski area up there. And, and so I talked to the community up there and they said, why don't you do something on the backside, , with the marathon event on the front side, on the paved road at the time that it was not a very well received experience by that community and a lot of other challenges there. And so I said, okay, well that's not what we're looking to do, but you know, that sounds nice. And , but that kept coming up over and over. , and the mountain and grand Fondo idea B, , continued to become more and more difficult to try to produce. And so, , I also am very familiar with Oracle, again through my guiding experience of guiding hikes on the Arizona trail through through the Oracle community there and some and some mountain biking. But I had also attended a, a mountain bike event back there put on by Epic ride called the soul ride. And they had produced a 100 mile mountain bike event in that area. And the last event there was an Oh five. So, you know, the community was sort of used to that. , there've been some changes there as well. And, , you know, long story short, more and more we were getting pulled towards the Oracle community and towards putting on an event on gravel, , and not on a page. And so, , it just became the direction we ended up going in. , and, , the pieces sort of started coming together rather quickly and within a three month period, , we partnered with Arizona zip line adventures. We partnered with the Arizona trail association and we put on the first mountain, , gravel grinder in 2016 in about 90 days. And have you retained the same course over the years? So [inaudible] for the most part, yeah. So we've gone through just like any event, , you know, especially putting on that quickly, , we certainly went through some growing pains, but for the most part, the course has remained the same. So the course is concentrated on a 40 mile loop. Okay. So it, it starts on an outlet and highway, which, , that's why I mentioned the Catalina Highland mountain and highway. It actually starts on Kat mountain and highway, , also known as the Oracle control road, which I can talk about here in a minute. , but it takes the, the control road up the backside of Mount linen. And so on the first year, , you know, we wanted to be conservative with the chorus. We wanted to be conservative with, , you know, the, the riders and volunteers and everyone who was coming together to produce a quality event. And we wanted to be conservative. So we decided let's concentrate on this 40 mile loop. And then the control road continues all the way up to smer Haven to the mountain and fires in there. We actually decided to just do, , an out and back, , another three miles to a reasonable turnaround point and come back down and then complete the 40 mile loops. So the first year we had two distances, we had the 40 mile and the 50 mile. , and we had 112 riders the year. So we were, we were really happy with that. , we had a solid medical team with a lot of, , event experience, , a communications team again with a lot of back country of inexperience, , really, really solid stuff, learned a lot, , learned a lot about, , just, you know, all, all the production in general. , learned a lot of things, got great feedback from the community and from the writers who absolutely loved the event and wanted to see it grow and improve. So we got a lot of constructive feedback, which is really important. , and I have to remind myself as a participant, you really take those surveys to really communicate with the organizers to, to help them if we don't communicate and hold those things in both, both constructive and both things, we absolutely love. , you know, we could possibly lose those events. So, , so yeah, that was our first year. , yeah, it's interesting when I look at the course profile on your website, it's Spartan interesting having that out in back section. And I can see, obviously, you know, it changes the physical demands of the loop quite dramatically from the 40 mile event, which is sort of touches that climb up to the smer Haven to the 60 mile loop that if I'm looking correctly, it's about a 3000 foot climb they're encountering on that out and back to get all the way up to smer Haven. Yeah, no, you're app, you're definitely, , correct on that. So, , we, I've never done the Leadville 100. , it's actually happening tomorrow. , but there is a solid Tucson contingent of riders that have done, done the lead though 100 and a couple of them have referred. They've compared the two of the, the climb up Columbine and the climb up the backside in terms of the, the width of the trail, if you will. , it is an out and back. The, the, the elevation gain as you mentioned, 3000 feet. , one of the differences is that we're not above 10,000 feet. So the start of the event in Oracle's at 4,500, , for those that don't know Tucson proper is at 25 or 2,700. So it is a nice gain in elevation in the fall just to get a little bit higher. , and then from there, , as you saw the profile, it undulates up and down. And then when you get to the first aid station, which is where the 40 miles turns to complete the loop, , that is around 5,000 feet. So it undulates, you know, from 4,500 up and down, up and down to 5,000. And then you start your descent from there and then you go up to the 50 mile turn around, which is , exactly a thousand feet of in three and a half mile, and then you do the, the next 2000 feet of climbing in the next five miles after that. , so yeah, not only, not only is it the climbing that you have to contend with, but then you've got to descend all that back down. So, yeah. It's funny you mentioned Leadville 100. Cause I was thinking the same thing I've done Leadville and I was thinking that did remind me of that where you just have this massive climb you get up and it is very interesting and fun to see the athletes who are head of you coming down the other way and hopefully you're ahead of someone and you're seeing them come up. I remember from my personal experience at Leadville, love him or hate him. Lance Armstrong was racing that year and it was really fun seeing him bombed down as I was climbing up that big climb. Yeah. And that's something that, , the writers who are doing, , especially, , especially in the 60 mile where, you know, that's, they've mentioned that, , you know, even the, you know, Kyle Trudeau is a professional rider from Tucson. He rides for CZ, , racing, , on a mountain bike team. And he's in, he's in Colorado this this weekend, or he's been there for the last month. You know, he's my go to guy for, , just feedback, , rider experience. , he's also spoke here in Tucson about riding the backside, really sharing a lot of knowledge about the course, about his, his setup, , things, things of that nature. And, and just talking to him about, , you know, he's a really good descender, , with just good all around rider, but he's a really good to send her and just how every now and again, somebody who kind of creeps over the, the virtual yellow line, if you will. And you know, , constantly reminding folks who, who aren't used to that format that, Hey, this is an Outback and your lane is over here. You know, whether, whether you like the line that you're on at the moment, you kind of need to take that line. And, , but yeah, and then in the other hand, , so, you know, on the front end of the things, yeah, definitely. , you know, last year, , you know, pile was not the first one to the top. So he was able to sort of gauge his effort and where he was at by writers coming down and, and so, and the other writers as well, really, you know, when they start to see other writers coming down and they look at their garden and I'm like, Oh wow, I've got two and a half miles still to climb and they're already on their way down. It's , you know, but it breaks up the suffering a little bit. Right? You can kind of see like, Hey, I, I'm going to get that joy here, you know, when I hit the turn around. So. Yeah, exactly. So let's talk a little bit more about the terrain specifically. I think you very succinctly answered the question on the website as to what bike I should bring with the answer. Yes, pretty much saying any, any bike you bring is probably okay. Obviously within a range. And as with any gravel event, I think you've, you've, you point out the fact that probably gonna love your bike in some sections. And Hayden and others depending on which end of the gravel spectrum you chose. But let's drill into this. The type of terrain we're on, obviously like on the flatter lands, my, my imagination and my experience in that area would be, Hey, these are just nice dirt roads. Maybe with some stutter bps on them, but fairly easy riding. But I can imagine as you get up the mountain it starts to change. So talk, talk a little bit about the terrain that one's going to experience and what types of bikes you've written on that terrain and what you might recommend. Yeah not women itself is, is a very unique notion in this in this region. , Mount lemon is considered a sky Island. We have several islands in this region. One of the neat things about the sky islands is that, , , you can experience the five different ecosystems as you move up the mountain and elevation. So, you know, we're in the Sonoran desert, so we have, you know, the desert floor and then as you move up, you get into the swirls and then into the scrub Oaks. And then you get into, , the junipers and then Ponderosa Pines all the way up into some Aspen groves on that lemon. And so you pass through all of these, whether you're driving up the mountain, you're riding your bike on the front side or the backside. So, , it's really neat in that sense. And not when it is not really a or the Santa Catalina, this not really a huge, like a range like the Rockies. It's, it's really this Island all sort of, you know, you can circumnavigate it, , around the base. So, , pretty neat as far as that terrain goes. the wa like the floor of the font, if you will, that you're going to see and the views that you're going to experience on the back side is the Galleo's and the San Pedro river Valley. , and so you again, starting at 4,500 feet, you sort of RSI desert grasslands and then you move up into elevation and , it get to experience all, all of those, all five of those ecosystems. So that's really neat. , the, the Oracle control road. So that road actually is almost a hundred years old. So it was established in 1920, , and it was the first access to the top of Mount linen actually. So, , Catalina highway wasn't established. This is the case side on the front. It wasn't established for another 30 years or so after that. , so in the mid 1950s, so, , again, it was established in 1920. This is the, what they call the Oracle control road. And so from the community of watercolor to the community at Summerhaven, the ranchers and the miners actually petition the forest service, the U S government to put in a row so they could have easier access. And so the road that we're on is, is that very road and it is very, , it's not maintained consistently. So actually this past, I would say may in June before the monsoons hit, the forest service was maintaining it for the first time in 14 years. So it's actually in much better shape now than it has been in the previous melon and gravel grinders events in the past three events. So, , but it is a forest service, , road. The reason why they called it a control road is because it is very windy and it's very narrow in certain places, and there's only enough room for one car to travel up or down the road at a time. There's no room for passing. So the control road was controlling the time of day that they would allow traffic up the mountain and then allow traffic down the mountain. So that's where the word control road comes into. And, and folks just refer to it as the control road, , , these days. So when they say the control road, that's what they're speaking about. So, , it, it goes back and forth between, , rough and smooth sections. , there is a lot of, , granite, , rock where the, , the bed of the road, , is almost like cobblestones in certain places. , and so it can be very rough in that sense. , there's a lot of, , loose rock, loose gravel, , especially because it's up and down. Like you mentioned the course profile. It's, , it's, I would consider it a technical road. , you know, it's when folks ask about, you know, do I need a mountain bike? Is there a single track? You know, there's, there's no single track, but, but if you're not a good bike handler or you're just getting, , you haven't eroded the course or anything, I highly recommend a hardtail 20 Niner, , is perfect, , running that tubeless. , and that will really help you on, on the fastest sense. And also give you some good climbing gears because it is, , just undulating. But all of these are rough sections that I'm mentioning. I say all of, , there are some rough directions. They're not miles and miles loft. Actually, you know, they may be a hundred yards at the LA at the furthest, most of them are just shorter sections, but there's also a smooth sections in between that maybe are only a mile or less in between in certain places. So the console road is, is, , there's the control road, which is the main climb up the back side. There's the haul road, which I'll talk about. And then there's the paved section of the course, which all comes towards the end. So you get this mix of all three and they sort of come in a sequential order, , which is, which is interesting. So you know, it's kind of flat loads the ride when you're going up and down the control road, whether you decide to do the 40, 50 or 60, , you know, it's sort of all that decision making, sort of speak as all on the controller. And then you as you go further up the mountain on the control row, there's about three major sections that are, , very Rocky. Like again, the, the rock bed, if I'm saying that correctly, the actual road itself is just solid rock. , and the forest service has been on that to grind that back down to to grade a, if you will. So, , it's more palatable now by a passenger car even where before it was always four wheel drive. But, , but I am always impressed with the folks that, , are, you know, taking full rigid bikes on their drop bar road, bike season. , but just a single speed, you know, all kinds of bikes just to challenge themselves against the terrain. You know, not, not out there to, to podi or anything like that, but just to see like, Hey, I can get this done under my own tower on this rig. , and the, one of the biggest topics of conversation here locally is, is not so much where you're going to do gravel or your cross bike or your mountain bike, but what modifications are you doing to the bike that you have or what are you building? And that's always been neat to hear people talk about that. You know, , gear ratios, tires, , you know, clearance suspension, not suspension, full rigid. , it's, it's truly is the gamut. , and it requires, you know, the easy answer for me is to say, you know, when in doubt you can do a hard sell 29, or if you're not sure. And you know, cause I definitely want people to have a great experience and they're gonna show up site on scene. But those who have ventured out there time and time again, the neat thing about it is they're pre-writing on different setups every time. It's not just taking your, your road bike and your pre-writing different parts of a road. Right. And it's the same bike. Like it's your pre-writing to view the course, not to, you know, change anything about your bike. But people are pre-writing because they're also wanting to know if they should change something about their ride and as you mentioned, where do I want my suffering to be here, here, here or here or here, you know, which would I rather tolerate and then I'll modify. Yeah. I think that's, that's the constant interesting conundr about all these events and I think it's one of those things that makes it interesting to go back to events year after year as you kind of tweak your set off, set up as you use sort of assing you're not in that location. You don't have the luxury of going and climbing mountain lemon at your leisure and testing different things. Going back and changing things up. I think someone I was speaking to articulated it in the following way in terms of the tire width is you're getting, if you're expecting it to be a very long day for yourself as an athlete, then having wider tires or if you think it's going to be challenging, having the wire tires on your setup will just give you more comfort. And the, the sort of downside of maybe not having the, the fastest setup for the road section or smoother section is far outweighed by the upside of when you're bombing down Mount lemon, you're comfortable, you feel safe and secure and you're having a good time. So it's certainly not unique to the Mount lemon gravel grinder. This conundrum of what's the best set up. And I think the best advice always is a, just get out there and do it. Don't over analyze things. It's, these events really are about having fun and you'll learn a lot along the way. And then second, optimize around what's gonna make you the most comfortable and make sure you're going to have a fun, safe outing. Yeah, absolutely. Just, you know, think about being happy, you know yeah, absolutely. And w what's evolved, , over the three years, , is the, you know, we're growing. So we had 112 writers. The first year we had a 188 riders the second year and we had 300 riders last year. , and more and more gravel bikes started coming, you know, into the event than previous, previous it was more mountain bikes. , again, most people have mountain bikes in the Tucson area to go off road. So that's mostly what we were seeing. And then last year was a lot more noticeable, , where the gravel bikes were coming in, , even more so. , and most of those gravel bikes are either doing the 40 or the 50. , and there's, , more mountain bikes doing the 60, as I mentioned with the climbing and the descending. But the on the racing side, if you're, if you're listening and you're on the racing side, , there was a lot of racing going on in the 40 and the 50, and those who are, who are wanting to go on podi spots, , we're doing that on gravel bikes and, , and just couldn't believe that 40 miles of gravel, right. Most people are thinking, you know, a hundred miles or 150 miles, but the 40 miles of this course, they just couldn't believe how, , how punishing it was. I guess because of the, there's nothing flat about it. You know, you're either going up or you're going down. And so there's some significant, , there was a rough stuff as I mentioned on the dirt side, there's some really fast, you know, 35 plus mile gravel, the sense which can be very nerve racking and white knuckle. So you gotta be a good handle on that. , but also the page climb, we have a, I call it the S and this web road, , Webb road is a six and a half mile paved climb. That's just relentless that a, at about a 6% grade that comes towards the end of all this. So you get off this rougher stuff, you get off the gravel a little bit, and then you're on a basically a smooth road and all of a sudden your body goes into shock. Like its not used to. It's used to kind of bouncing around a little bit and then your body is just on this absolute smoothness. , and then you just gotta tap out this tempo to get up this climb, , at the end. And so your body just goes through some different changes there throughout the course. , and some advice I'll, I'll, I give folks, the way our course is set up is if you're thinking about the 40 mile loop, the first 20 miles is, is, is the dirt in the last 20 miles is, is hard packed, , gravel, dirt road. But, , about 13 miles of that is pavement, including this climb. So the advice I gave, , , I get of actually anybody is, you know, what, you know, set up your tires, what have you, for comfort, all that on the, on the, on the dirt stuff. But we have an aid station, right as the dirt transitions to that pavement. And a lot of people, , had pre loaded CO2 cartridges, , one, you know, one for each tire plus their backup. So they added more CO2. And I said, you're going to need water bottles anyway, grab something to eat, but just air up your tires as hard as you can and just ride that road because you've got that Cline. , and people just absolutely love that advice and had, , a great experience, you know, in that transition there, , coming up that climb. So. Right. That makes some sense. So at the end of the day, are, are people hanging out afterwards? Are you doing a kind of party at the, at the finish line for folks? Yeah, absolutely. So, , you know, amongst some of the changes that we've experienced, we've also, we're also, , changing venues. So, so the first two years that we had the event at Arizona zip line adventures, and last year, , we outgrew that space actually. , and we were shuttling people, , from a satellite parking location. So we moved to the Y YMCA, , a mile and a half, , away from the zip line, , so still on Mount Limon highway and, , and really grew into that space, , nicely. , and, , unfortunately though, , we had a nice little after party, but unfortunately the [inaudible] is a dry campus. And so, , they hadn't, , lifted their deed restriction to allow us to, you know, have a nice frosty beverage. , but we were, we were growing and so I knew, geez, I don't know how long we're going to be able to stay here at this. Then you, , and, and the YMC was certainly well received because there was no shuttling or, you know, it really, , achieved what we needed it to achieve. , but in the last three years of this three, sea ranch, , became, , under new ownership and became completely revamped and they revamped it to become a special event venue. And so it's this beautiful place. And they started talking to us about a year ago about, Hey, you know, consider bringing the grinder, you know, basically back up the road, past the zip line, a half a mile, the other way it's still on, on the highway, , to the three ranch. And so, , it's, we're really excited about it this year. And, , we, , Barrio brewing company is the beer sponsor. We've got a huge beer garden over two and a half acres. , we're, we're still solidifying several bike manufacturers that are going to be coming in and doing demos, , on. We're kicking this event off on Friday this year. , we have plenty of room for camping, but right near pepper sauce, camp ground as well. , we're literally within walking distance. A two minute walk. Next door is a RV park with full hookups. , and then the zip line is a half mile and they have camping. So it's, it's becoming a weekend long event. , and the after party this year, , we're , having a live concert, so from three to seven, we've got two local bands from Oracle that are going to be playing on the main stage. , we'll have, , food vendors, coffee vendors, , just, , it'll, it'll be the largest event, , so far that we've done. , the community is really excited, , to come out and be a part of the event. We already got some great volunteer organizations coming in. , as I mentioned, local bane and, , local food vendors, , local arts and crafts, which is going to be a nice flavor, , in terms of just industry folks. We're going to have some local folks there as well. , and so it's going to be a nice community feel and we're really excited about it. Great. Well, it sounds like a great event, John. I appreciate you spending the time giving us an overview of it. I hope to make it, if not this year, in future years. Yeah. Thank you. Thanks for having me. And, , yeah. I hope you hope you can make it out.

Marlee Matlin She came to prominence in 1986 as the deaf leading lady in the movie “Children of a Lesser God”. Her Quote: “Silence is the last thing the world will ever hear from me.” From her bio in the International Movie Database. IMDB.comMarlee Beth Matlin was born to Don and Libby Matlin; she was their third child. Marlee lost much of her hearing at the age of 18 months. That didn't stop her, though, from acting in a children's theater company at age 7; she was Dorothy in "The Wizard of Oz." Her deafness never held her back. As an adult she said it so eloquently: "I have always resisted putting limitations on myself, both professionally and personally." Around 30 years ago, my employer participated in a state run program to integrate many deaf and hard of hearing people into the workplace. I can only say that this program has been an amazing success. Back then, hearing people sometimes found themselves uncomfortable associating with people who spoke a different language when they couldn’t understand or participate in the conversation. Yes, I did say different language. American Sign Language or ASL is not just a translation of English. It has its own rich culture, each word describing an object or concept, just like any form of verbal communication. Facial expressions are very important,and there are dialects, accents, and slang that is different based on local traditions and practices. When I took a beginner class back in the 80’s, I was taught to use the sign for “home” when I was going home. Locally, our deaf community says basically, “I’m going to the house”. This being said, I really believe that ASL is one of the most elegant and beautiful languages in the world. The emotions expressed and received makes it quite intuitive even to those who can’t sign a single letter. Learning is so much easier as well since each sign in form describes the word or concept, many times creating a picture of it. Another dimension of the beauty is expressed when ASL is used for art purposes by signing to music, interpreting the words and emotions of the piece. It has a similar feel to expressive, interpretive dance, and can easily move you to tears. In high school, my daughter Ecil performed an emotional sign language translation of Flyleaf’s “All Around Me”. While most people think of signed songs as being slow, flowing, and quiet, this song has energy throughout, and on the bridge has a rapid fire, almost violent emotional outburst that opened the eyes of many to new possibilities of using language as art. The friendships I have in the local deaf community are valued for exactly that. These are my friends. While I am by no means fluent in ASL, my friends have accepted my handicap and help me to learn more with every conversation. I could only wish that hearing people would be so tolerant and forgiving of my mistakes. Another of the wonderful things is attempting to master humor. I find it quite rewarding when I give a quick sign accompanied by the proper nuance of facial expression and am rewarded with a literal laugh out loud by one of my deaf friends. The integration in our workplace is complete. I realized this was the case when I began to see hearing people signing to each other across the noisy workroom floor. The deaf and hearing employees socialize outside of work as well, and everyone is enriched as a result. Listen, there is a full community of wonderful people all around you that seems to be invisible to many hearing people who rush through their lives ignoring all but their own pursuits. Find them. Learn their language. I suspect you will be rewarded for these relationships even more than they will. Links to resources to interact with the deaf and hard of hearing community will be included in the show notes for this episode.

Feedback@daggersofthemind.com ------------------------------------------- Michael Jordan “You have to expect things of yourself before you can do them.” Entrepreneurs seem to have a common theme in their promotional literature, videos and at the ever present conventions. There is an enthusiasm that takes outside people by surprise. When you cut through the exuberance, the basic message is this:  If you believe you can do it, you can. A lot of fun has been made of this concept, even to the point of movies bringing it up. In the Film “The American President” when he observed the wild excitement at his opponent’s political rally, Michael Douglas quips that he thought they were “getting ready to buy some Amway products.” Let’s look at this concept a little closer. It is not a magic incantation that easily makes everything appear just because you believe it will. There is one valid point, however that must be considered. If you don’t think you can, you will not try. Why waste your valuable time on fruitless pursuits? There aren’t many who will put time, effort and precious resources into lost causes. Alternatively, many so called “lost causes” are not actually “lost” but are merely difficult. Since we can’t see the possibilities we never start the projects in the first place. People who think like this will never know the rewards possible when you systematically tackle the jobs thought impossible. If you aim at nothing, you will most likely hit it. A quote from a man who knew all about failure: “Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.”  Thomas Edison There’s a reason the symbol of the big idea is a light bulb. It was invented after thousands failures. We’ll finish with another Edison quote:“Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.” http://basketball.wikia.com/wiki/Michael_Jordan   -------------------------------------------------To leave us a voice mail, call 304-460-5760.Also, at daggersofthemind.com you can subscribe for free using iTunes, Stitcher, TuneIn, and even email.
