The Great Yelp Hype: Is This Mesquite Gyro Spot Really the Best Restaurant in Dallas?
Brian Reinhart
| Restaurant Reviews |
Brian Reinhart | April 12, 2016 | 4:00am
Internet commenters have descended on the food industry like a plague of picky locusts, perplexing chefs and rewriting the rules of restaurant criticism. And out of all DFW's dining options, the picky horde has decided that a tiny, unassuming gyro joint on the far side of Mesquite is, with a 4.9-star Google and Yelp average rating, the best restaurant in all of Dallas.
Madness, you might say — a sign of the commentariat's bizarre values. But a stopped clock is right twice a day, and even a blind squirrel finds a nut. This time, the Yelpers have a point. No, House of Gyros is not the best restaurant in Dallas. But it is a very special place.
Many restaurants proclaim some variation of the "when you're here, you're family" cliché. But at House of Gyros, you can't help thinking the cliché is the truth. Opened in 2014, the House is run by the Kaprantzas family, with Victoria waiting tables and Vasili ("Bill") in the kitchen. Chef Bill might visit after your meal to ask, "How did I do?" Then he might tell you about how he came to America decades ago, on a boat.
The restaurant is tiny but decorated with reminders of his homeland. Some signage is in Greek. There's a poster-sized photograph of the chef's grandmother. "She's looking at me every day so I don't make a mistake," he says. Remember when My Big Fat Greek Wedding was a thing? It still is at House of Gyros, which has a bottle of Windex framed in a case.
10 Great Global Restaurants on DFW's Most Diverse Street
Battle of the Buffets: Lunch Mediterranean-Style in Irving
The open kitchen is surrounded by a huge number of chalkboards which don't list daily specials. The Kaprantzas clan just likes to share their thoughts. One board proclaims House of Gyros's field of expertise: "People ask if I know lamb! Well let me tell you! I was born with lamb, I was raised with lamb, I even look like a lamb." Another declares, in creative spelling, that "Mikrowave oven is forbiten in this restaurant. We prepaire all our food fresh to order." And there are more such pronouncements on the menu itself, including a memorable rant about how American chefs cook lamb chops.
The food, of course, is the real test of whether a restaurant like this really feels like family. But that concern was put to rest with one bite of the lamb souvlaki ($14), grilled and served on skewers. Their lamb seasoning, with big hits of parsley and salt, tastes just the way my Turkish family makes theirs — a cliché but the truth nonetheless. And like my own, the House of Gyros family prefers lamb cooked medium-well but still richly juicy.
The rest of the menu is mostly hits with few misses. A meatball and rice soup makes a charming appetizer, especially since it's free with your meal. Pita bread is toasty and fresh; top it with feta cheese ($2), a bargain side dish well mixed with parsley. Moussaka ($11) and pastitsio (a lasagna with cinnamon and nutmeg) are generous, gut-busting helpings of some of the world's ultimate comfort foods. These may not be glamorous dishes, but House of Gyros gets them right.
The calamari ($8) is among the best in Dallas, with a firm golden breading crust, no grease and flawless cooking technique. You might be able to convince impressionable children that they're mozzarella stick rings. Order calamari with skordalia, an ultra-strong raw garlic dip that hits like lightning.
Odd as it sounds, the steak fries are pretty great, too. Crisp and well seasoned with salt, pepper and parsley, the fries are the happiest surprise on the menu, especially since they're also tucked inside the traditional gyros wrap ($8). That pita wrap is generous to bursting, a classic version with juicy beef-lamb gyro meat. Should you add feta cheese? Of course.
One more bonus feature at House of Gyros: the very reasonable BYOB policy. We brought a Greek wine but forgot our corkscrew and were charged corkage of just $1 per person.
Not everything in this house is perfect. Hummus is pretty ordinary. Greek salad is a side dish with nearly every meal, and it's good but suffers from pink-white out-of-season tomatoes. Some friendly advice from a Mediterranean neighbor: Switch to Campari tomatoes in winter months. It's worth the extra buck.
As you prepare to order dessert, the server may caution you that you'll receive an order of loukoumades free with your meal. Loukoumades is Greek for, "a delicious cross between sopapillas and doughnut holes." These light pastry puffs are fried and dipped in honey, cinnamon and powdered sugar, a combination rightly beloved on every continent.
The baklava, though, is a sweeter, heavier interpretation that's almost too rich for my palate. A subtler alternative is kataifi ($3.50), which features shredded pastry shaped in a roll and sprinkled with cinnamon.
Environmentalists might feel lingering guilt about House of Gyros' habit of serving everything on Styrofoam plates with plastic forks. Make sure to specify tap water, too, or you'll be charged for Ozarka. But the restaurant's only real weakness is the long trek required to get there.
For the moment, House of Gyros is far enough off the beaten path that its tiny space doesn't get too crowded. That may be changing. One waitress asked the next table, "How did you find out about us?" The answer: Yelp. And, indeed, the restaurant is DFW's reigning champion in Yelp and Google reviews, with Dude, Sweet Chocolate and a couple taquerias close behind.
Of course, there's Yelper bias at work there. The site's commenters favor charming mom-and-pop places over "elitist" fine dining. But this time we're following the crowd. There's a special feeling about House of Gyros, a little place where the Greek comfort food classics are at their best, where Windex still has healing powers and after one visit, diners really might feel like part of the family.
House of Gyros, 904 E Davis St., Mesquite, 469-802-9797. Open 11 a.m.-9 p.m. daily.

BHEKI KUNENE
Mind (trix) boggling
Tags: bheki kunene, mind trix, forbes under 30, entrepreneur, business, smes
Bheki Kunene, founder of Mind Trix Media
Among the names on the 2015 Forbes 30 under 30 Young African Entrepreneurs is Bheki Kunene, a Cape Town go-getter who started his creative design agency from his bedroom in Gugulethu – with a meagre R600 in his wallet.
The Forbes 30 under 30 most promising African entrepreneurs list for 2015 has been revealed, with South African names and faces making their annual appearance. And this year is no disappointment, with young faces from across the continent - Africa's top talent is on show for the world to see.
One young South African businessman who made the list is Bheki Kunene, a true survivor and inspiration to many. Besides having survived a number of near-fatal experiences, Kunene started his own company, Mind Trix Media, from his bedroom with as little as R600 and today has a steadily growing global clientele.
In an exclusive with BBQ, Kunene, who recently also won the Young Enterprise sector Award at the 2015 SA SMME Awards ceremony, shared some of his highlights from his road travelled in business - and in life.
Can you tell us about your biggest achievements?
Staying alive is number one [jokingly with some laughter]. My body has been run over by three cars in a fatal accident in 2013 and I woke up days later in hospital with a cracked skull and seriously injured right leg. In essence, being alive is a great achievement. I don't know a lot of people that get run over by three cars and managed to survive. On a serious note, starting a company with R600 in my bedroom at the age of 21, to having clients on five continents, having an internationally reputable brand and being on the Forbes list of the Africa's 30 Under 30 most promising entrepreneurs for 2015 is a great milestone. Consistently being in the top list of performing SMMEs in the country and being accoladed for this is also a big achievement for my company. Our achievements include winning the Young Enterprise Sector Award at the 2015 SA SMME Awards ceremony, winning the 2014 Acacia Global Business Award and winning the 2013 Youth Recognition Award for Outstanding Entrepreneurship presented by the University of Stellenbosch. Being able to assist between 25 and 30 previously disadvantaged individuals to get a tertiary education and study web and graphic design is something that I find very fulfilling.
From where do you find your strength?
In God, nature and in set-backs. My mother, grandmother and life partner play a major role in giving me strength in moments of doubt and fear.
Who are some of your big role models?
Sir Richard Branson is one of my biggest role models – he became very successful, despite having dyslexia. People who assumed when I was a child that I would never amount to anything also inspired me and it continues to motivate me. I also am seriously inspired by entrepreneur, turnaround strategist and motivational speaker Lebo Gungulaza's character. He comes across as very calm, collected and always seems in control of his journey. He is a very grounded and humble gentleman whenever I engage with him. These are characteristics I aspire to acquire and to reach a level of abundance - in business and life. My mother, Helen Kunene, has always been the definition of resilience to me. Whenever I felt like giving up, I would be inspired by her to keep on going. I look up to Helen's character and traits - she doesn't give up easily. Jim Rohn (American entrepreneur, author and motivational speaker), Kevin Winge (Project Open Hand Executive Director) and Zitulele "KK" Combi (Master Currency founder) all get credit for the wisdom and life changing habits they introduced to me early in my life.
What in your opinion defines success?
Having your own dreams that are true to who you are, and going out to achieve those, regardless of what people think of it – that defines success for me. So it's not necessarily about being obligated to dream in line with social standards. In essence, if one's dream is to become a monk and forever live in a monastery - achieving that personal goal is success in itself.
On the cover of Forbes, winning the 2015 SMME Business Award for the Best Young Enterprise Category – al in one week. What is the recipe for this success?
I have no recipe, truthfully speaking. I simply study how my role models live and work and then I borrow their habits. I feel success leaves clues, so I model successful giants in the way I do things. Why reinvent a wheel when I can merely pick up what works and adjust it to make it my own? I am probably one of the most devoted disciples of life-long learning, which drops new ideas in my head daily and I take heavy action on these ideas.
"Always a finalist – never a trophy". Now that you have it – how does it feel?
[Laughs out loud] That was an internal company joke staff always make, so it slipped out while giving my speech at the 2015 SMME Business Awards ceremony. An award is really a nice thing to have in the office and hopefully I can add a Loerie Award next to this one soon.
What do you expect the 2015 SMME Business Award will do for your business and career?
I am sure that the award will open doors for my company through the networks and contacts I have made. It has given Mind Work quite a bit of exposure - and the media interest after this event has been incredible.
What value do you think events such as the 2015 SMME Business Awards add to the SA business world, particularly to SMMEs?
The platform provides credibility, exposure and great networking opportunities with key stake holders of various power houses for entrepreneurs.
What have some of your biggest challenges been and how have you managed to overcome them?
The inability to engage in business after my fatal road accident was a big challenge. Discovering that nobody in the company understood my job was a miserable experience. After the accident I had a cracked skull and the severe head injuries were causing too much internal bleeding around the head area, which made it hard for me to hear. I could also see my company going down as I was not there to do my bit – it was the scariest part of it all. Then a friend bought me e-Myth Revisited and I learnt about systems and processes and that revolutionised my perception of business structures. I slowly wrote systems and processes, which allowed the company to run even without me. What helped us as a business in that time was that we had cash reserves, which kept the company afloat while I was recovering for three months.
Can you tell us more about the biggest hardships for young entrepreneurs to start their own SMMEs and how you have managed to, against all odd, kept your business afloat?
Access to finance is one major obstacle and I saw it coming from the very onset, so I used a method known as boot strapping to build my business. A combination of relationship capital and sweat capital were added to excellent customer service and the business just expanded over time. These days I am humbled that angel investors and loan agencies call me to lend me money – all because of our company's credibility and integrity. They are fully aware that if we could build Mind Trix Media with R600 - imagine what we can do with actual capital injection!
What are some of the core values you apply in your business and how has this ensured client satisfaction?
Every single one on our team knows, "If it's not something you can brag about, then it's a reject." We all go all out when doing work for clients. We have had instances where clients wanted designs in their own way, which did not meet our standards and we always do as we are told, yet we would also offer an additional "bragging level version", which ensure them of our commitment to client satisfaction.
Tell us what you have learnt from working with large corporates and the public sector.
I've learn that you really need large cash reserves to engage with corporates as a small business or corporates will never give you work. Not only for financing large projects, but also because they have their set payment terms. Capacity is also key, else you won't handle the ton of work corporates occasionally drop into your lap. My advice is: build cash reserve as soon as you can!
What has given you the motivation to persevere as a young entrepreneur; has it been solely about making money?
The hunger to make something of my life has motivated me. I yearned for more than a life of mediocrity because society deemed me a misfit and a born failure at a time in my life when I had hit rock bottom and evidently messed up. Even the late Minister Kader Asmal at some point said I was a menace to society and belonged in a juvenile facility - and that I was heading for the grave. It made me feel so worthless and belittled. I hated my life and have failed at twice. It made me feel even more useless and like a destined failure. "Who fails at killing themselves twice?", I always cried, until I heard Frank Sintra's quote when I was 15 years of age: "The best revenge is massive success" and I just wanted revenge in the form of success so badly and from there onwards nothing could stop me.
You have also given back to others who are less fortunate and assisted young people in getting tertiary qualifications. Why is it important for entrepreneurs to also give back in this manner?
I cannot speak for others, however I was given a gift which forever changed my life - an opportunity to study graphic design at a private tertiary institution, even though I couldn't afford it and despite the fact that I did not have a portfolio (the basic entry requirements). The board of Ruth Prowse School of Art gave me free tuition for three years on condition that I maintain scores of 75% and above consistently. I kept my word and so did they. When I asked the board what I owed them for changing my life, I recall Eunice saying that I have to promise that when I become successful, I will give to those who showcase potential and desire to make something of themselves. From that day onwards I vowed I would. It's an amazing feeling knowing that one day when I die my presence will have changed someone's life forever. I always remember they saying: "Give a man a fish and you have fed him for a day. Teach a man how to catch a fish and you have fed him for a life time." Our scholar / learnership partnership project makes me feel like we are feeding men for a lifetime.
You have said before that success is not only about the millions, but about balanced abundance. Tell us what you mean by this?
Wealth. Health. Relationship. Simply put, wealth without health is worthless because you could just end up chasing wealth half your life and later spending your wealth on recovering your health in the other half of your life. Wealth and health without relationships bring misery and loneliness. I mean what's a billion dollars worth if you are all alone on a planet? Not much. So balancing these to me is key to enjoying a life of abundance. Lastly my personal favourite, a connection to the maker (God): It gives a sense of purpose and makes for a much more fruitful life.
What legacy would you like to leave behind?
I would like to leave a trail of success by enabling others to become successful and make them believe it can be done, regardless of circumstance.

Who is Teaching The Adults?
Biography of Shaykh Mokhtar Maghraoui
Shaykh Mokhtar Maghraoui traces his lineage to our Master Muhammad ﷺ through his grandson, Hasan (May Allah be pleased with him), through his grandson, Idris (May Allah be pleased with him).
Shaykh Mokhtar was one of the foremost and most beloved students of Shaykh Muhammad Emin Er, who conferred upon him an ijaza (a traditional diploma and authorization) of both sacred knowledge and tasawwuf, and licenced him with spiritual authority to guide seekers to Allah.
The distinctiveness of Shaykh Mokhtar's teaching and spiritual guidance lies in its unity of purpose. Every field of knowledge – whether theoretical, legal, historical, exegetical or spiritual – must serve the twin, inseparable constants of our faith: experiential (and not merely intellectual or academic) tawhid (Divine unicity); and beautiful, refined character (akhlaq).
The essential means to realizing these twin constants is through the purification of our lower selves, or tazkiyat al-nafs. The heart is the seat of our perception, emotional experience and will. Only its purification will ensure correct thought, feeling, will and consequently, conduct. Without learning to live every aspect of our lives within an envelope of inner purification, our individual and collective reform will be futile.
Shaykh Mokhtar has taught and offered spiritual guidance in the United States for decades. Muslims across the United States and Canada have experienced and benefited from his retreats, seminars and lectures. Since 2009, Shaykh Mokhtār has been the Senior Scholar at Al-Madina Institute and is currently the teacher and spiritual mentor of the ongoing Suhba Program that the Institute runs in Istanbul, Turkey.
Shaykh Mokhtar also holds an MA in physics and a PhD in electrical Engineering from Syracuse University, and has lectured at the university level in the fields of engineering, math, physics and religion.
Who is Teaching The Teen (15-18) Program?
Ustadh Naeem Saloojee
Ustadh Naeem's lifelong pursuit of sacred knowledge and practice, his work with teens, and his diverse work experience allows him to bridge, project and translate the rich spiritual and rational legacy of Islamic teachings in ways that are practical and contextual for modern teens. Before becoming the Director of Educational Programming for the Hearts in Resonance program, he worked in media, politics, business and management, and was most recently the CEO of a company in artificial intelligence.
He was instrumental in launching the Suhba Teen Co-op School in Istanbul and in developing its unique IQ/SQ (intelligence and spiritual quotient) Curriculum. The intent of the year-long curriculum is to provide Muslim teens with a clear rational and spiritual compass to negotiate the waters of an increasingly turbulent future.
His aim is to connect teens to the essential teachings of Islam's traditional, spiritual, and rational legacy, and to use this legacy to critically examine the intellectual, ideological and emotional challenges that many of them will undoubtedly face. He uses a variety of resources – literature and poetry, critical book reviews, acclaimed documentaries, and classes in critical reasoning, among others – to build their spiritual and intellectual certainty that Islam is the only path to true freedom and happiness.
Who is Teaching The Youth (10-14) Program?
Ustadh Amir Abdelzaher
After teaching in university, and with years of extensive experience in Islamic teaching, planning and organization, Ustadh Amir realized that clothing secular, status-quo educational paradigms with an 'Islamic garb' has failed us. Spiritual upbringing, or tarbiya, is critical: "Acquiring knowledge," he states, "Is essential, but insufficient."
He sees a teacher as a bridge that takes youth gradually and progressively to higher levels of spiritual understanding, maturity and practice. For the past three years, he has been the principal of the Suhba Children's School and oversaw the integration of a visionary Islamic paradigm of practical character-centric spirituality in the school's ethos, curriculum and teaching.
Ustadh Amir uses the theme of "Becoming a Real Superhero" to present the life-path of a believer. Through many age-appropriate examples, stories, parables, metaphors, and audio recordings of real Muslim superheroes, youth will be guided to deeper spiritual maturity, thinking and practice. Ustadh Amir finds that youth thrive in interactive settings. He welcomes questions, discussions, and reflections, and will be asking his students to complete weekly "spiritual missions" to help them apply what they learn in their daily lives and become real superheroes.
Who is Teaching the Kids' (6-9) Program?
Ustadha Kamrun Nahar
Ustadha Kamrun was a top-student at a renowned Islamic seminary where she studied full-time for four years, has a degree in early childhood education, and has a long and rich experience teaching young hearts. She has a natural skill of anchoring building-block concepts in Islamic education in ways that linger in the spiritual imaginations of her students and reflect in their words and deeds.
She teaches children using age-appropriate pedagogical teaching methods, including encouragement and interactive discussions. To further assist the child in consolidating concepts, she uses visual aids such as slides with pictures, props, virtual live illustrations, puppet shows, storytelling, Islamic nashids, dramatic play and visual games. Children will be asked to do assignments which will involve verbal reflections, drawing, writing and craft activities.
For the last three years, Ustadha Kamrun has taught the young children of Muslim families from around the world. There is not one single family who will not attest that Ustadha has turned the tables. Our children frequently inspire us with their knowledge, character and etiquette. They have, quite simply, become our teachers. And with Allah is all success.

Billy Harner (of "Sally's Saying Something" fame)
Have you been to and/or performed at an indoors live show since the mid-March 2020 lockdown? I have not yet. My band is scheduled to play a show on September 23 that was already postponed twice. I'm looking forward to it, but I'm wondering if it's going to get postponed again, what it will be like to play and hang at a live show again, and what we'll all do if shows start getting postponed again.
If that last thing happens, I will aim to get creative. I'm always on the fence about playing live and seeing bands live as it is, but I miss the engagement with people. I miss seeing those bands that are meant to play live.
Wondering what's on your mind…

hrrundivbakshi says:
Meh, I've become a cranky old man in recent years when it comes to live shows. My feet hurt, my back hurts, most shows are too loud and go on too late — plus, they cost too much damn money. And parking usually sucks. I don't miss 'em.
E. Pluribus Gergely says:
Moderator, me and little Mo were really looking forward to your show. In the words of Joey LaMotta, this whole thing "sucks big elephant dicks."
Scott (the other one) says:
Haven't been to an indoor show since late 2019, and while I was really hoping to see some outdoor shows by now, I won't be going to any until the delta variant cools down. And indoor shows are absolutely off the schedule for me until at least 2022.
mockcarr says:
I can say I covered both varieties yesterday in that I met a few friends indoors at a bar that has old fart kind of live music, and then went to see Weezer and Green Day at Nationals Park, which frankly I imagined to be middle-aged fart music. I was called a snob at the bar after I made a few asides about the couple sitting on stools playing someone else's songs, and then later felt like a depressed old fart at the outdoor show where all the empty seats I saw led me to think people actually ditched the show because somebody in Fall Out Boy caught COVID-19 and they dropped out of the tour. I had bought the tickets two years ago, and the show was supposed to be last year.. It was the first live music for me in either case since our global predicament.
I recently saw the North Mississippi Allstars at an outdoors show and that was the first show I've been to since the Tuesday in March 2020, the day before everything fell apart, when I saw jazz guitarist Jeff Parker at Johnny Brenda's.
I'm currently set to go to a Neko Case show next week at Levon Helm's Studio. Vaccinations and masks required. There are a number of shows on my calendar, including now for 9/23, coming up after that, although most are in the October and out timeframe.
While the Desantis variant has got me a little spooked, I'm hoping it drives some combination of fear and mandates to actually get this thing under control. I've also noticed that a lot of the venues in this area are requiring masks and vax, so maybe the whole world isn't crazy after all.
I've been to two indoor theatre shows with masks and only about a third of the seats in use. It was a bit, a lot actually, weird, but felt unexpectedly liberating. Having hung up my axe long ago, I'm only on the receiving end these days. A band I'm quite friendly with had a huge sold out gig booked in London and had to turn around on their way down the motorway as one got a positive test result back and they all had to isolate. They played their first gig the other night and they all look SO happy in the sound check photos.
The idiot Johnson is bored with this game now and has declared the country open. Cases have slowed since the super spreading soccer tournament, but have started creeping up again.
The boys and I are supposed to be going to a very small festival in two weeks. Hopefully we can all stay well before, during and after. Mrs H and I are double jabbed, our eldest had his second the week after next, but the IJ hasn't agreed to jab fifteen year olds yet so youngest has to take his chances with the great unvaxed. Fortunately, my sister and her daughters failed to get it together to call around when we were on holiday down home the last two weeks as all three tested positive on Friday. They all have their own reasons for not getting jabbed, apparently.
Since going to the supermarket once a week is the highlight of most weeks, although a bit nerve wracking since Freedom Day, I'm hoping the indignity of trying to avoid UB40 is the worse that happens.
I hope your gig goes ahead and goes well. I'll probably work the Solid Silver Sixties Show at the start of October, that'll be the first indoor gig since March last year.
Kudos to you Mr Mod for having Billy Harner in the banner picture. I once again encourage everyone to get a haircut from the man if his shop is still open. You will walk out with a horrendous haircut but you will be very entertained for a half hour or so.
My bride and I went a bit nuts with what we thought were going to be "post Covid" shows. So we have tickets to:
The Dead and Company
Wilco with Sleater Kinney
My Morning Jacket with Britney Howard
Willie Nelson with Sturgill Simpson, Gov't Mule, Chris Stapleton and Margo Price
All shows are outdoors, three at the Mann and one at Citizen's Bank.
The Donuts have a happy hour gig at Fergie's on September 17.
The Hoodoo Gurus, which was indoors, got canceled a while back.
I'm increasingly nervous about all of them and will have to make game day decisions about whether to go or not. I wish they had a vaccine passport because the honor system only works if people are honorable and the past few years have made it very clear that people are much bigger assholes than I suspected. The peace of mind that an outdoor show offerers is offset by the large number of people.
Chicken Frank helpfully pointed out that fans of the Donuts had more than 6 feet between them before the pandemic so we should be good.
I understand your concern about the numbers at a large show, but at the Mann I don't think you'll really be on top of too many folks for a long period of time. If I see you at Wilco, maybe I'll come over and cough on you to make it more thrilling.
I don't think even a Donuts crowd will allow sufficient social distancing at Fergie's. Oh, and I will be there.
I think a lot of venues will be checking vaccine records. I read in the newspaper that Union Transfer did.
We went down to visit my mum at the seaside for the last fortnight, which coincided with the Hastings Reggae Festival, which seemed an improbable concept. I toyed with the idea of paying to get in, but had a perfectly good view of the stage from the bank running along the wall of the sports centre across the road, and forty five quid to see General Levy and Maxi Priest seemed a little steep. I was closer to the stage than many in the arena, and nearer than I've been to a lot of acts at bigger festivals.
From where I was standing, it looked completely rammed at the front, and there was no social distancing anywhere that I could see, particularly among those falling over one another leaving early. Our government will not countenance any form of vaccine record checking, personally I wish they would. Many of us look to your side of the pond with some envy that you seem at last to have a grown up in charge.
While we have a grown up in charge of the house, a lot of the kids are locked in rooms with irresponsible babysitters watching R rated movies and having a few nips from the liquor cabinets.
Well said Geo.
Crackblind says:
My first show will be Wilco/Sleater Kinney next week in NYC (enjoy the Mann show!). So far there seems to be a lot of tickets available in the section we're sitting in which is a little comforting (though maybe not as much for the bands). The first indoor show we have tickets for is in November, a Big Star "tribute" at St. Ann's in Brooklyn, which is requiring proof of vaccination. I was hoping to be able to go to the Sept. 23rd show but alas it's a school night.
At least I'm glad that the last show I went to before all this hit the fan was Richard Thompson. It's a million times better than the last movie I saw in a theatre.
I'm curious what other examples there are of famous musicians that you could interact with after their fame subsided. I'm reminded of the bass player from the Buzzcocks showing up at Mr Mod's mother's house to do some general contracting.
I can't think of a better example than having a star become a barber. You get pure one-on-one interaction, and there is usually an expectation of conversation while you get your hair cut. Who else must have received a lot of "hey, didn't you used to be in _____?"
I think I heard in the same podcast that Tanya Donnelly is a midwife and Bill Janowitz from Buffalo Tom is a real estate guy. As the years go on, having the stability of a 9-5 job with the ability to occasionally play reasonably well attended shows is probably nicer than people would have thought on the front end of their careers. Not as good a having massive hits and "set for life" money, but still.
Speaking of bass players with other careers, I coincidently recently came across this article about erstwhile Soft Boy Matthew Seligman
https://www.sl5legal.co.uk/single-post/the-man-who-re-invented-himself-matthew-seligman-not-all-about-the-bass
I think you might want less callused fingers from a midwife if she's going to be all up in your business.
The Jam's Rick Buckler was a furniture mover for a while. Legendary white blooz guitar genius Peter Green (Fleetwood Mac) dug graves. My fave, though, has to be ZZ Top's Dusty Hill, who took a day job as an airport baggage handler during the band's late 70s sabbatical. He explained that he was bored. Occasionally, a co-worker would ask, "hey, aren't you…?", and the Dust would reply, "If I was the bass player for ZZ Top, would I have a day job as a baggage handler?" His true identity was never discovered.
Lee Dorsey was supposedly a body & fender man. He understood that his music career was going to go up and down, and he apparently spent more time working on cars than working on music. He wasn't bitter about it or anything, he just kept working.
When I still lived in New Orleans I never met Lee Dorsey. but I did meet Fats Domino producer/songwriter Dave Bartholomew. From 1990-96, right before I bought my house on Music St., I lived upstairs from Mike's Hardware on Elysian Fields Ave. It was a great apartment. Mike was a retired cop, and hanging out downstairs could be interesting. Mike knew I was a music fan, and one day he introduced me to 'Mr. Dave.' Apparently Bartholomew used his music industry earnings to buy rental properties in that Gentilly neighborhood, and he was a regular hardware customer, trying to keep his rental units in working order. He shook my hand and was gracious when I told him how I loved his work, but he basically just wanted to buy a faucet or whatever and get on with it.

Breathing techniques for anxiety have the ability to a similar goal in your mind though the execution may vary. Their intention being to relax you minimizing or prevent anxiety and panic from welling up inside you.
Many times yourself that great physical signs and symptoms of negative feelings. Breathing methods for anxiety may be one of the first lines of defence to combat and overcome nervousness.
Practice could be the valuable factor. You need to practice breathing techniques for anxiety before you need them. This will give you the confidence you have to execute particularly amid an arduous and anxiety inducing situation without worrying about looking to remember the best way to carry them out or increase your anxiety if you feel you are not doing them right.
Remember, breathing methods for anxiety are simply as well as the at the start effort you add into them.
One common way is Breathing.
Breathing, otherwise known as diaphragmatic breathing, abdominal breathing and in many cases belly breathing, can be a different strategy for filling your lungs using the valuable oxygen towards the way most of us breathe every day. We tend to breathe while using shallow breathing method, also referred to as thoracic breathing or chest breathing.
Deep breathing uses the diaphragm muscle located between your chest cavity and stomach cavity to expand the lungs and is also characterised with the continuing development of the belly, or abdomen, as air rushes straight into fill the lungs. With the diaphragm to breathe, the air is drawn into the lungs because the lung cavity expands and fills the full lungs rather than the superior area as characterised by shallow breathing.
The very best and a lot common inhalation method to aid anxiety relief while using the Breathing is by onto your nose.
You should inhale slowly and deliberately using your nose providing you with the required control over your breathing that assist prevent hyperventilation which could most probably help make your anxiety worse as an alternative to better.
When you inhale, be sure you remember to refill your lungs to maximum capacity. Glance at the stretch all the way down on your diaphragm towards the bottom of the chest. You need to keep working until you can't take anymore in. This can be achieved easily when utilizing your diaphragm correctly.
To put it simply you wish to eliminate all of the air you might have just consumed. However there are several ways to do that however, not all will help help you stay calm.
Again, prevent hyperventilation by slowly exhaling. In the event you exhale too rapidly you ware very likely to enter an instant cycle of breathing that won't help your anxiety at all.
Spend some time and exhale by your mouth, not your nose. How you behave should also be deliberate and controlled as before.
There exists a distinction between taking a long time to breathe with your breathing approaches for anxiety, and getting it just right. Taking too long leaves you breathless following a short time and gasping for air. Breathe too rapidly and you may get light headed and more anxious.
You are aiming to inhale a way that you simply set out to feel calm and relaxed. An excellent rule of thumb is always to count to ten when you inhale, hold for five and then make time to stop as you exhale. Nevertheless you may need to modify this slightly to accommodate yourself.
To share with should you be breathing correctly, put one hand on your chest and something on your stomach. As you breathe, shallow breathing will cause your chest to go up first and farthest, however breathing has the opposite effect in that your abdomen will expand first and than your chest.
With more experience you will learn the way to control this technique and set it to good use. There are several breathing approaches for anxiety though this is just about the most popular. Maybe is likely to search you'll discover other great breathing approaches for anxiety.

Mordengaard is a sometimes-DJ on GKOL. Mordengaard, Evil Lord of Darkness, fancies himself to be a massive four-armed demon, but the truth is he's simply a 30-something metalhead from the South West of England. Married with three children, he spends his summer weekends as a historical re-enactor, and most evenings spending time with his family.
Mordengaard hosts "Mordengaard's Meat Marathon" on GKOL (sometimes, and at random hours). Guaranteed to wake you up, no matter what time zone you're in, expect hours of music, games, and interactive chat. Generally featuring the very best in metal, rock, and modern rock-punk-metal (but never, ever, any R.E.M.), you might also encounter an eclectic mix of alternative music.
Requests (by kmail or forum PM) and donations gleefully accepted.


Coca-Cola officially released New Coke on April 23, 1985. Which makes it 25 years old this month. Hard to believe that whole reformulating Coke debacle was over two decades ago. I was eleven years old.
Go back and read about the history of that troubled beverage in my 3 part retrospective on New Coke called Misunderstood.
Let's take a look at some "New Coke" commercials.
This commercial was originally for regular Coke, but was changed after the release of New Coke. It features the slogan Coke Is It! I've always liked that jingle.
Bill Cosby was one of the big celebrities who helped launch New Coke. Here he is introducing the reformulated Coke in 1985.

Q: Is there a connection between homomorphism and diagonalization? The definition of homomorphism is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homomorphism and definition of diagonalization needs to be understood in the context described in Fourier transform as diagonalization of convolution
The point is, one can think of Fourier transform as diagonalization of convolution. Further, Fourier transform  $\mathcal{F}: L^1(\mathbb{R})\to C_0(\mathbb{R})$ is an algebra homomorphism from $L^1$ into a sub-algebra $\mathcal(L^1(\mathbb{R}))$ of the space $C_0$ (continuous functions that vanish at $\pm\infty$).
So the question: is there a common theme between diagonalization and homomorphism or Fourier transform is the only transform which diagonalize (convolution operator) and also has a homomorphism space. Is there any other such tranformation? Can there be homomorphism space for every diagonalisable operator can it go to very diagonalisable matrix?
Please forgive if this question is non mathematical as I am trying to compare roses to apple.

Monica Dickens's novel chronicles the lives of a group of female workers in an aircraft factory – their men are off fighting the Second World War, and the women have had to step up and take over.
The enthralling first volume in the sequence which chronicles the lives and fortunes of the Lorimer family from the 1870s to the 1940s.
Against the background of France and Germany at the time of the Franco-Prussian war of 1870, Norman Collins tells with great brilliance the story of Anna, a beautiful woman. Born in Rhineland, when she was nineteen she fell in love with a French cousin whom she followed to Paris on the eve of the outbreak of war. When he was killed by her compatriots she found herself in besieged Paris, destitute, alone, and a German. Thrown into prison, she got out only by marrying a middle-aged restaurateur for whom she had no feeling. These are the opening incidents in a novel which is full of incident, of tragedy and of adventure, and which carries Anna from France to Germany, and finally to England, where at last she finds both peace and happiness.
A tale of seduction and witchcraft and a promise made to Charles I to "raise Scotland for the King".
Bridge presents her reader with a "period piece" of Italian provincial society and distributes our sympathies over a surprising range of characters, several of whom touch on individual tragedies. The lovely "Enchantress" in the late thirties; the little English governess in the early twenties, full of Oxford enthusiasms; the ardent youth, Giulio; Marietta, that delightful child, puzzling over the problems into which she is plunged by the disaster which overtakes her beloved English instructress; the old Marchesa, whose hundredth birthday looms all through the book; above all perhaps the wise, patient Swiss governess – all these in turn claim our affection or our pity.
Set in Budapest in the spring of 1941, Hope – a spoilt but attractive society girl and daughter of a leading American business man – finds herself playing the lead in a dangerous and most unexpected affair of underground intrigue, through the machinations of her journalist fiancé. During the course of her activities she falls in love with a Polish refugee, and at the moment when Germany invades Hungary, she is already deeply involved – both emotionally and politically.
A story of the unfolding secret of Margaret whose determination to be near and protect the orphan, Sweetie, is part of the crucial years at the Archbishop Bodkin Hospital. For Sweetie has set her heart on Ginger, and Ginger is geared only for trouble, while the new head, Dr. Trump, dreams of nothing but reforms when he replaces the loved, kindly Canon Mallow.
Norma Ackroyd is the quintessential English country rose-pretty and rather innocent. But on the day her path crosses with that of the notorious womanizer from London, George Laxton, fate itself seemed determined to shatter her previously sheltered life.
I've been casting my eye over the Bloomsbury e-book collection for sometime because I think this is an area where e-books have so much to offer and an idea more publishers ought to take up. I don't know if the same pricing is available in the UK at the moment but I'm off now to check. Thank you for bringing this to my notice.
Except for Monica Dickens, these are all new authors to me – I look forward to hearing more about them. And now I want that MD novel!
I'm with Lisa – Monica Dickens is the only one of those authors I've heard of, but the synopses you provided certainly sound good. I haven't given in to the e-reader world yet, though. Not sure I would ever finish reading the TBRs on the shelf if I began to add ebooks as well!
Have a great time in California with all your lovely new e-books!
Sometimes I wish, though not very hard or very often, that I could handle the e-book thing. I just can't seem to read a book or even a short story on a screen, any size or shape. I can handle documents, word processing, blogs, but when it comes to books, I'm a non-starter.

Claire, thank you so much for pointing me in this direction. I just finished Another Part of the Wood and loved it. Mackail is a brilliant writer. I am on the lookout for more books by him (loved Greenery Street too).
A sale on Bloomsbury Reader ebooks?! Wow, that is impossible to resist. I'm filling up my e-reader right now.
These all sound like wonderful reads! I'm off to take a look at the Bloomsbury offerings. Thanks so much for the tip!
Thank you for this post! In a world where ebook prizes are usually 5x higher than the prize mentioned in discounts in other countries (meaning the US/Canada/UK) these are actually available cheaply over here too! I'm so tempted to buy the same books you listed here.
Again, thanks ever so much for bringing these ebooks to our attention. I went directly to the B & N website and acquired the first of the Lorimer chronicles. What a wonderful find!

Q: How to catch exceptions in constructor or overloaded operator? So I have a class that realized fractions. I have to add catch&throw to a constructor(in case if the denominator is zero) and to the overloaded operator of dividing(in case dividing by zero). How I should realize that? But I need catch block is over this constructor because I need to stop creating this object.
class Rational{
public:
    Rational(const int num, const int den){
    try{
        numerator = num;
        denominator = den;
        if( denominator == 0){
            throw invalid_argument(" den is zero ")
      }
    }
    catch (invalid_argument& e){
        cout << e.what() << endl;
      }
  }
// I mean I want smth like that
try {
    Rational operator/(const Rational& lhs, const Rational& rhs) {

        return Rational{ lhs.Numerator() * rhs.Denominator(), lhs.Denominator() * rhs.Numerator() };

        if (rhs.Numerator() == 0) {
            throw domain_error("dividing by zero");
        }

    }
}
catch (const domain_error& e) {
    cout << e.what();
}

A: I am not sure I understand your question. The only way to prevent a class from being constructed is by throwing an exception and not catching it.
You can simply throw the exception outside a try/catch block.

A: Don't put a try/catch in the constructor. If you catch exceptions in the constructor then the object will be created.
If your denominator is invalid, then your Rational object will be invalid and should not be created. The try/catch should be around the code that tries to create Rational object.
If you Rational object is allocated with new then the system will automatically deallocate the memory allocated for Rational and then rethrow the exception for you to catch.

3 Reasons To Renew Your Wedding Vows
Two weeks ago I travelled to Cabo San Lucas with one of my oldest and dearest friends, Suzy. We have been by each others sides through thick and thin; between us there have been three weddings, one divorce, the births of five children, and over the years, we lost, then buried, each of our parents.
When my husband Jimmy and I were married in 1995, a first for him and a second for me, Suzy was one of my bridesmaids. At the time I remember thinking a veritable lifetime would pass before Jimmy and I would celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary -- yet here we are now -- a year and two months past the landmark I could only imagine back then. For her part Suzy just passed the 17-year mark with her husband, also a Jim. Together we marveled over the length of road behind and the stroke of luck over the fact that we both are happily married.
Little did we know when we headed to Cabo that the shear beauty and magic of the place would inspire us to hatch a plan to return to Cabo, husbands in hand, to reaffirm our marital vows.
According to the American Psychological Association (APA) 40-50 percent of all marriages in the USA end in divorce and an even greater number is ascribed to those, like me, in their second marriage.
Perhaps the yummy drinks played a role, but, from where we sat poolside, we decided that beating the marital odds was more than celebration worthy.
There are three primary reasons that couples renew their wedding vows:
They didn't have the wedding they dreamed of: Couples from days gone by may have elected to tie the knot with a Justice of the Peace because their parents shamed them due to a pregnancy or didn't approve of their choice in mate. Or, what so many young people experience, money was tight.
The marriage has suffered emotional turmoil: Some couples have had more years that fall into the "for worse" category but manage to persevere, later they choose to recommit because reaching the "for better" side of their relationship deserves to be underscored by vow renewal.
A landmark anniversary is imminent: The celebration of a silver or gold anniversary is a wonderful time to honor a marriage by reaffirming your commitment.
Regardless of the reason, Cabo San Lucas was a fabulous place for the two of us to color the blank canvases in our minds. There were several venues for us to consider beginning with the lovely resort where we stayed, The Sheraton Hacienda Del Mar Cabo. Although it offers numerous stages to renew ones vows on the first of the two options we admired was a quaint chapel, Capilla Salon de Eventos, where any denomination is welcome. Once you cross the threshold of the old world door you are received by a chapel mostly lit by candles.
The second spot we spied was the beach.
Little compares to a natural pergola draped in white fabric, lit up by torches, set up in the sand with the Sea of Cortez serving as backdrop. Having been married in a church twice the idea of a seaside renewal appeals to me the most.
But, being in a place like Cabo San Lucas allowed us to dream of other settings too.
We dined on top of a cliff at a lovely restaurant called Sunset de Mona Lisa, which provided us a broad sweeping view at sunset. The manager there told us they hosted many events associated with love, then, he shared a story about an engagement that was actually a wedding.
Say what? You read that right!
The would-be groom staged an entire wedding without his then girlfriends knowledge. After he proposed he asked her if she thought the idea of being married at the cliffside restaurant suited her, who she would invite, what she imagined wearing, who would officiate...to her surprise her soon to be husband already knew the answers and they were married that evening as the sun tucked itself behind the landmark Cabo San Lucas arch. I can't help but wonder if that bride will one day choose to surprise her groom with a reaffirmation ceremony, one she can plan right down to the tiniest of details.
Each couple that considers renewal has their own personal reason for choosing to do so, for me, the idea of having all three of our children participate in a ceremony where their parents demonstrate that we would do it all over again seems like as good a reason as any.

This handsome Academy Award winning actor -- who hasn't aged much since People named him Sexiest Man Alive in 1996 -- met his future wife, Pauletta Pearson, on the set of the television film Wilma in 1977. They were married on June 25, 1983. After having four children, the couple renewed their wedding vows in 1995 in South Africa; the ceremony was officiated by Archbishop Desmond Tutu. Denzel's long-lasting marriage is most likely due to his healthy philosophy: "Acting is just a way of making a living, the family is life."

PHILADELPHIA—February 7, 2019—Performers from the Curtis Institute of Music embark on a nationwide tour built around Johannes Brahms's Liebeslieder Waltzes to venues in California, the upper Midwest, and along the eastern seaboard. The performances for Curtis on Tour, the Nina von Maltzahn global touring initiative of the Curtis Institute of Music, begin February 9 and end with a concert as part of the Curtis Presents series on Sunday, March 3 at 3 p.m. in Field Concert Hall.
Each performance features a vocal quartet of students Sage DeAgro-Ruopp (soprano), Anastasiia Sidorova (mezzo-soprano), and Patrick Wilhelm (baritone); and alumnus and prolific operatic tenor Dominic Armstrong ('09). At the piano are Mikael Eliasen, the beloved outgoing artistic director of the Curtis Opera Theatre; and Miloš Repický, vocal coach for Curtis, the Metropolitan Opera, and the Cleveland Orchestra, among others.
As they tour the U.S., they present three different programs, all culminating with the elegant Liebeslieder Waltzes of Johannes Brahms (with piano, four hands). The programs are rounded out by lieder selections from Romantic masters as well as Curtis alumni composers Samuel Barber ('34), Gian Carlo Menotti ('33), and Ned Rorem ('44); operatic favorites; and gems from the American Songbook.
Ticket information for Curtis on Tour performances is available through each concert venue or at Curtis.edu/VocalQuartet. Single tickets for the March 3 concert in Philadelphia cost $25 and are available from the Curtis Patron Services Office at (215) 893-7902 or Curtis.edu/Performances.
Curtis on Tour is the Nina von Maltzahn global touring initiative of the Curtis Institute of Music. An embodiment of the school's "learn by doing" philosophy, it offers students real-world, professional touring experience alongside celebrated alumni and faculty. In addition to performances, musicians offer master classes, interactive programs, and community engagement activities while on tour. Curtis on Tour also facilitates solo performances of Curtis students and alumni with leading orchestras and concert presenters. Since the program was established in 2008, students, faculty, and alumni have performed over 300 concerts in more than 90 cities in Europe, Asia, and the Americas.
Full concert programs (subject to change) are available at Curtis.edu/VocalQuartet.

Metro is a brand that has been around since 2010, and it is one of the top sellers. That is mostly because their products are solid, good value, with good power and good features. Metro Hybrid is a part of urban electric bikes family, and it is really well set up for the urban and light trail riding. Metro has a diamond frame and 700c (28-inch) wheels with sporty 38mm Schwalbe Marathon tires, so you get real quality tires. A big capacity battery of 624Wh will carry you 20–40 miles, with the top speed of 28 mph with assist,  or 20mph using throttle only. The comfort is decent with adjustable handle bar, as well as suspension seat post and a suspension fork. Overall, this bike offers good value for the price, with outstanding range and power for its class.
On October 22, 2014 PA house bill 573 passed into law, which is Act 154, which changes the definition of "pedalcycle" (bicycle) in the PA state vehicle code. "Pedalcycle" is now defined as a vehicle propelled solely by human-powered pedals or a "pedalcycle" (bicycle) with electric assist( a vehicle weighing not more than 100 pounds with two or three wheels more than 11 inches in diameter, manufactured or assembled with an electric motor rated no more than 750 watts and equipped with operational pedals and travels at speeds less than 20 mph). This bill allows the usage of pedal assisted bicycles in PA that follow the adopted state guidelines.
Übrige "Motorfahrräder": "E-Bikes mit einer Leistung zwischen 500 und 1000 Watt oder einer bauartbedingten Höchstgeschwindigkeit von 20 bis 30 km/h oder einer Tretunterstützung, die auch bei einem Tempo von 25 – 45 km/h wirkt, gelten als Motorfahrräder und benötigen ein entsprechendes Kontrollschild.". You can use any bicyle path and also hiking roads forbidden to motorbikes if you drive slowly.
"Electric power-assisted bicycle" means a vehicle that travels on not more than three wheels in contact with the ground and is equipped with (i) pedals that allow propulsion by human power and (ii) an electric motor with an input of no more than 1,000 watts that reduces the pedal effort required of the rider. For the purposes of Chapter 8 of this title, an electric power-assisted bicycle shall be a vehicle when operated on a highway.[142]
The bicycle's invention has had an enormous effect on society, both in terms of culture and of advancing modern industrial methods. Several components that eventually played a key role in the development of the automobile were initially invented for use in the bicycle, including ball bearings, pneumatic tires, chain-driven sprockets and tension-spoked wheels.[10]
The days when eMTBs were defined solely by the power of their motors and the size of their batteries are over. Riding performance has become the most important metric. In that pursuit, manufacturers are increasingly developing eMTBs with less power and battery capacity, which in turn handle more like regular mountain bikes. FOCUS started this movement some time ago with its Project-Y concept and later presented the FOCUS RAVEN² PRO, the first production model in a new category of bikes. However this sporty ride only convinced a handful of riders. Meanwhile, Lapierre and BULLS have both announced full-suspension trail bikes featuring the lightweight FAZUA motor for next year. It remains to be seen how many other brands will jump on board this bandwagon – but the rumour mill has already started rumbling. Moreover, it is only a matter of time before the next motor manufacturer will release its own small, lightweight motor.
The Domane+ e-road bike is the electric version of Trek's popular Domane. It's designed for riders who appreciate that bike's reliable comfort and IsoSpeed technology but want the added fun and function of e-assist. It's also the ideal companion for anyone coming back from injury, slower riders who want to mix it up with a speedy group, and couples with different fitness levels. A Bosch Performance Line Speed motor provides a very welcome 28 mph of pedal assist, and the 500Wh Powertube battery sleekly integrates into the down tube. Also integrated: front and rear lights, which are powered by the battery—no charging required.
Indian law requires that all electric vehicles have ARAI[50] approval. Vehicles with below 250W and speed less than 30 km/h, do not require certification- hence not following full testing process, but needs to get exemption report from ARAI. Whereas more powerful vehicles need to go through a full testing process following CMVR rules. This can take time and cost money but assures safe and reliable design for Electric Vehicles. These regulations are not promulgated by the Regional Transport offices, and riders are not required to obtain a licence to drive, to carry insurance, or to wear a helmet.
Photo: Left: The hub motor of an electric bike. Right: If you took off the casing, this is the kind of thing you'd see. It's a simple brushless motor from a PC cooling fan, but it works in broadly the same way as a bike's hub motor. There's a static part made up of four electromagnet coils (left) and a rotating part (right) made from a permanent magnet (the gray ring) that clips onto it. When the coils are energized in sequence, they generate a magnetic field that makes the permanent magnet and fan spin around. At a glance, a hub motor looks much like an ordinary bicycle hub, but look closer and you'll find it's a lot more bulky.
Ebike definition in Colorado follows the HR 727 National Law: 20 mph (30 km/h) e-power and 750 W (1 hp) max, 2 or 3 wheels, pedals that work. Legal low-powered ebikes are allowed on roads and bike lanes, and prohibited from using their motors on bike and pedestrian paths, unless overridden by local ordinance. The city of Boulder is the first to have done so, banning ebikes over 400W from bike lanes. Bicycles and Ebikes are disallowed on certain high speed highways and all Interstates unless signed as "Allowed" in certain rural Interstate stretches where the Interstate is the ONLY means of travel.[83]
Federal law defines the limits of a low speed electric bike, equating it to a bicycle, and bypassing the definition of a motor vehicle only "For purposes of motor vehicle safety standards…" which means that the manufacturers of these bicycles don't have to meet federal equipment requirements, and are instead governed by the manufacturing requirements of the Consumer Product Safety Act. There is no mention of exemption from other federal, state, and local traffic laws, or exemption from the definition of a motor vehicle for other purposes.3 This means the law applies to the manufacturer's product and sale, avoiding federal safety requirements applying to a motor vehicle such as brake lights, turn signals and braking specifications. The goal of the law was to give businesses a legal framework to define and sell low speed electric bikes without the more stringent Federal classification of a motor vehicle. Ebikes that meet the criteria are considered a "bicycle", do not meet the definition of a motor vehicle, and will be regulated by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. The law also grants the commission authority to add safety requirements to this product. The Federal law supersedes all state laws that equate bicycles to ebikes where the state law is more stringent (lower limits) on power and speed.
The Super Commuter is very aptly named. The 350w Bosch motor will help you sustain speeds of up to 28mph, and the burly, 2.4-inch wide, Schwalbe Super Moto-X 650b tires will keep you secure on even the roughest city streets, and Shimano Deore hydraulic brakes provide ample stopping power. Fenders provide welcome protection from road spray so you arrive at your destination fresh, integrated lights are critical for post-sunset riding, and a side-view mirror hanging on the left side of the handlebar gives a great view of traffic around you. After all, you can ride at the speed of urban traffic on the Super Commuter.
One of the profound economic implications of bicycle use is that it liberates the user from oil consumption.(Ballantine, 1972) The bicycle is an inexpensive, fast, healthy and environmentally friendly mode of transport. Ivan Illich stated that bicycle use extended the usable physical environment for people, while alternatives such as cars and motorways degraded and confined people's environment and mobility.[105] Currently, two billion bicycles are in use around the world. Children, students, professionals, laborers, civil servants and seniors are pedaling around their communities. They all experience the freedom and the natural opportunity for exercise that the bicycle easily provides. Bicycle also has lowest carbon intensity of travel.[106]
Despite the illegal status in the state of New York, enforcement of this law varies at the local level. New York City enforces the bike ban with fines and vehicle confiscation for throttle activated electric bikes.[113] However, Mayor Bill de Blasio has recently changed the city's official policy to legalize pedal-assist electric bikes that have a maximum speed limited to 20 mph. [114] Contrarily, Tompkins County supports electric bike usage, even providing grant money to fund electric bike share/rental projects.[115]
Recent legislation has passed putting Maryland ebike laws in line with the popular class 1,2,3 systems previously implemented in states such as California. This legislation becomes effective October 2019. The most significant portion of this change is the increased max limit on power and speed. It will be increased from a max of 500w / 20mph to 750w / 28mph (assuming the ebike in question meets class 3 criteria)
Electric bikes aren't just a practical and environmentally conscious solution to gridlock, they also are really fun to ride. On top of all of the persuasive arguments to get an electric bike, I think the Rad Wagon's best-selling point comes down to enjoyment. Zooming down the street each morning I wasn't angrily yelling at fellow drivers or rushing not to be late. The bike commute was part of the journey each day, and not just the means I used to get around. There's a reason so many people loved biking as a kid, and it can be just as fun as an adult.
Bicycle includes all vehicles propelled by the person riding the same by foot or hand power or a helper motor; and (3) "helper motor" means a motor having a capacity of less than fifty cubic centimeters piston displacement, rated not more than two brake horsepower, capable of a maximum speed of no more than thirty miles per hour and equipped with automatic transmission. Local jurisdictions can pass law at variance with the state law.
I did my commute a few times with the Rattan and while I would never give up my "bike store" e-bike for this, it was a worthy substitute. It never gave out on the big hills, nor did I have to brake because I felt the bike was falling apart. The frame is a little small for 6-foot me but it only comes in one size. I really miss the low rolling drag of having road tires however and this is something that both Rattan and Ancheer could improve upon. I don't think many people are seriously off-roading with these bikes. Put some Schwalbe Big Bens on there!
Simple, convenient, cheap, and economical—bicycles are one of the world's favorite forms of transportation. But they're not for everyone. They can be hard to pedal up and down hills or with heavy loads, and elderly or disabled people may find them impossible to manage. In the last few years, a new generation of electric bicycles has begun to revolutionize our idea of environmentally friendly transportation. These new cycles have all the convenience of cars with all the simple economy of ordinary cycles. Let's take a closer look at how they work.
Most of you are likely here for the electric bits, though. Those consist of a 500Wh user-swappable Bosch Powerpack battery and a 250W Bosch Active Line Plus motor that delivers 37lb-ft (50Nm) of torque and speeds of up to 20mph (32km/h). The battery takes up to 4.5 hours to reach a 100-percent charge and offers a range of up to 134 miles. With the battery and motor, it's markedly heavier than a comparable urban bike, weighing in at 46lb (20.8kg).
For those who may be unfamiliar, Burning Man is an annual gathering in the Black Rock Desert of Black Rock City, Nevada. The event, which began in 1986, spans from the last Sunday in August to the first Monday in September. There are no corporate sponsorships, advertisements, or entertainment at the event. Individual participation is what's key to making the event special and memorable. Although the participants are given a large amount of freedom, the Burning Man Project asks that 10 core principles be followed: Radical Inclusion Gifting Decommodification Radical Self-Reliance Radical Self-Expression Communal Effort Civic Responsibility Leaving No Trace...
Electric-assist and other "motorized bicycles"[86] do not need to be inspected, do not require a license, and do not require registration. The vehicle must meet all of the following criteria: a post mounted seat for each person it is designed to carry, two or three wheels which contact the ground, fully operative pedals, wheels at least 16 inches in diameter and a motor not capable of propelling the device at more than 20 mph on level ground. The driver does not need a license, but must be at least 16 years old. DC law prohibits motorized bicycles from traveling anywhere on the sidewalk or in the bike lanes. DC Regulation 18-1201.18 provides: "Except as otherwise permitted for a motor vehicle, no person shall operate a motorized bicycle on any sidewalk or any off-street bikepath or bicycle route within the District. This prohibition shall apply even though the motorized bicycle is being operated solely by human power." So, if cars are prohibited in a particular place, motor-assisted bikes are also prohibited.[87]
None of this would matter if the VanMoof Electrified S2 (and its close relative the X2) wasn't fun to ride, but it is a blast. Like the Brompton, it pulls off the neat trick of powering you along but giving the illusion that you're doing the work, reacting quickly and cleverly to the speed of your pedalling and the difficulty of any incline you're on.
Operators are subject to driving rules and equipment requirements (if applicable) when operated on the public streets or highways (which includes the main traveled portion of the road, shoulder and sidewalk). This means that an operator could be cited for speeding, failure to signal, unsafe change of course, driving on the sidewalk, DWI (this would apply to anywhere in the state and not just the streets/highways), and all other driving rules contained within state law that would apply. They may also not ride more than two abreast and may not impede the normal and reasonable movement of traffic. On a laned roadway, they must operate within a single lane.[citation needed]
DIY enthusiasts, with tens of thousands of converted bikes using throttle-only, 20+ mph kits, are now officially labeled Moped class. While these bikes handle and pedal-ride just as safely as the class 3 speed pedelecs in many cases, our DIY counterparts will be officially kicked out and left on their own for advocacy and legal acceptance in California. This is a big deal, without a class sticker, any DIY electric bike conversion kit is considered a Moped and not a bicycle.
While we won't be there in person, a number of vehicles will be at the show featuring the new Grin products like the GMAC Hub Motors, RH212 direct drive motors, All Axle hubs, and the Baserunner and Phaserunner_L10 controllers. If you're lucky enough to attend then check out Booth A.18 and Booth 3.12 for some velomobiles and cargo vehicles running this gear.
Are you looking for an easier way to get to your blind or tree stand? Or perhaps check all your trail cams in a fraction of the time it takes today? Is that sweet spot you know getting harder to reach? When you have to carry 50lbs of gear on your back for 5 or even 10 miles and if you're lucky you have something to haul back out, using an electric bike built specifically for offroad and woodlands that is also capable of carrying your gear, wouldn't that make the experience a whole lot more enjoyable? Electric hunting bikes...
More powerful pedelecs which are not legally classed as bicycles are dubbed S-Pedelecs (short for Schnell-Pedelecs, i.e. Speedy-Pedelecs) in Germany. These have a motor more powerful than 250 watts and less limited, or unlimited, pedal-assist, i.e. the motor does not stop assisting the rider once 25 km/h has been reached. S-Pedelec class e-bikes are therefore usually classified as mopeds or motorcycles rather than as bicycles and therefore may (depending on the jurisdiction) need to be registered and insured, the rider may need some sort of driver's license (either car or motorcycle) and motorcycle helmets may have to be worn.[14] In the United States, many states have adopted S-Pedelecs into the Class 3 category. Class 3 ebikes are limited to <=750 watts of power and 28 mph.[15]
The electric bike revolution is spreading across the continent, 2017 data clearly underlines that eBikes are the preferred mode of mobility. 720,000 eBikes were sold in Germany, and KTM are one of the largest producers in their native country. As the market prospers, more and more manufacturers are jumping on the bandwagon than ever. KTM … Continue reading Best KTM eBikes 2018 – The Fully Charged Picks
Oregon Law (ORS 801.258]) defines an electric assisted bicycle as an electric motor-driven vehicle equipped with operable pedals, a seat or saddle for the rider, no more than three wheels in contact during travel. In addition, the vehicle must be equipped with an electric motor that is capable of applying a power output of no greater than 1,000 watts, and that is incapable of propelling the vehicle at a speed greater than 20 miles per hour on level ground.[124]
80% of your personal Carbon Footprint is made up of three main things. How you POWER your House. What you EAT. How you TRANSPORT yourself. There are major changes happening in all three of these areas. In the next 5-10 years, homes will have economical options to incorporate Power Generation, Power Storage and putting Surplus Power back on the Grid. …
Fast and fun on the trail, the SDURO HardNine handles rough terrain with ease, while its large tires roll over most obstacles without missing a beat. The pedal assist makes for quick, energy-saving climbing and the bike descends surprisingly well, too. Its front suspension provides a nice level of cushion on bumpy trails and while we missed having a full-suspension on this model, that would have added additional weight and costs.
The definition was clearly written with gasoline-powered pedalcycles in mind. The requirement of an automatic transmission is troublesome for those who just want to add an electric-assist motor to a bicycle, for almost all bicycles have transmissions consisting of chains and manually shifted sprockets. The registration form asks for a VIN, making it difficult to register some foreign-made ebikes. The fine for riding an unregistered electric bike is approximately $160.00 per event as of 2007.
