Thank you so much for taking the time to do this interview. I took a look around on your social medias before writing this interview, and let me say, your website is awesome! I was surprised to find that you also wrote two non-fictions books on urban biking. I to am a bike enthusiast! Just this year I final got my dream bike. Although, I must admit it’s probably a little more bike than I needed. Perhaps reading your book could have helped me. Can you tell us a about your two urban bike books?
First of all, thank you so much for the invitation to chat a bit about my books, my writing and how I write. The Urban Bike books happened I think because of several events in my life that occurred around the same time.
First, I moved into the DC area and needed to commute to work every day. I quickly realised that owning a car in an urban area can be a lot more trouble and expense than most people realise. I eventually started using public transportation and went though several different “Urban” bikes before figuring out what my needs really were.
The next thing was Amazon and other sites selling eBooks and those same books slowly elevating to being called “real” books. I saw people on the subway most every day reading from readers and ipads. I soon got an Ipad myself. Switching from “real” books was a lot easier than I thought it would be. I of course haven’t given up real books; I and most other people now have just added the flexibility of eBooks to our reading!
The last thing that happened was I had finally decided to try my hand at some writing. I had been thinking about it for a while but didn’t know if I could do it. I have been a reader all my life and have always enjoyed reading, hearing and telling great stories. I knew I was interested in writing fiction, but it seemed very intimidating as you might imagine! I thought, what do I know about writing a book right? So after a bit more thought, I decided to write about something I had a passion for and would require little of no research. All I had to do was write the darn book! Of course, little did I know, all the research that would be required later to get that book out there and into readers hands! As well as doing covers, PR, interviews, marketing and tons more, but more on that later.
So that’s how The Urban Bike came to be. I knew I wanted to make something that was informative, but not intimidating. I bought a book in my college years by a guy named Denis Diblasio that used caricatures. I loved that book! It was pretty deep jazz stuff but the caricatures just made it a lot friendlier and less scary! So of course, I stole his idea and used it for the Urban Bike books. If you see this Denis, THANK YOU!
Anyway, that’s pretty much how they started.
The Urban Bike is a guide to finding and/or putting together an urban bike to fit YOUR needs.
The second book is a collection of interviews I did with people from all walks of life and from all over the world, who have made a bicycle their main form of transportation. Many of them are completely car-free. Some are what we like to call car-light, meaning they own a car and need one from time to time. But all of them had great stories to tell on the hows and whys of moving to a car free lifestyle.
After writing your urban biking books decided to write fiction, publishing Where Power Resides. Can you tell us a bit about what this book is about?
Where Power Resides takes place here in Washington D.C. Two FBI agents are brought into a case when a long-time Washington Post writer is murdered. After a lot of chases, fights and a bit of cat juggling, they learn about a secret government program called Far Sight. Far Sight seems to go well beyond just spying on citizens. The two agents learn that Far Sight might also have the capabilities of far more sinister things, like killing people. It is a fast paced thriller that I hope, keeps the reader turning pages till the end!
Did you have to do a lot of research the book Where Power Resides? Tell us a bit about it?
As a reader, one of the things I like to see in a story like this is realism. Could this happen? So I ask, is the technology, storyline and characters plausible? Keeping with that mindset, I did quite a bit of research on real government programs like MK Ultra. I also spent time just looking at the real FBI building in DC to get a feel for it. I know the area pretty well having lived here several years so when I mention places and things in the book around DC and Virginia, they are pretty accurate. The Metro stations I mention are real, and the building I call “The School” is a real boarded up old school in downtown DC near Chinatown, just as I describe it in the book!
Give us an interesting fact or two about Where Power Resides?
Well as I mentioned before, I think the fact that so much of the locations are real is interesting. The “On the spot” noodle place is a restaurant I’ve been going to for over ten years! Lastly, I guess it might interest some would be writers out there that I started this story for NANOWRIMO (National Novel Writing Month) a couple of years ago. So yes, writing a book in a month or at least trying, CAN end up being a book!
How can readers find out more about you and your work?
Blog: My blog is located on my website
I’ve found, that becoming a self-published author can be a major learning curve. Do you have any advice for people just starting out?
I agree! If you go into Indie writing thinking all you’ll do is write a great book, well, you will be very disappointed! However, if you go in with eyes and mind wide open, you will take the kind of control over your art that very few have been able to do in the past.
Writing a good book is the first step of course, and if you can’t do that, the rest really doesn’t matter too much. (I’m staying well away from discussing 50 shades and other not so great books that made a LOT of money!) After that you need a great edit and maybe several revisions. Some where along the line you need a great cover, it’s the first thing people see so it is imperative that it’s professional, well designed and fits your book.
So now you have a book. You can sit back and watch the sales roll in! well, no… if people don’t know it’s there they can’t buy it so now comes Public relations, marketing and advertising. I don’t want to scare off all the would-be authors out there, after all I’m a reader and they might write my next favourite book! But yes, very simply, there is quite a bit to learn.
But here is the good news is if you get that far, you have already done what most people didn’t, you actually wrote a book! You didn’t just talk about it or dream about it. You put butt to seat and fingers to keyboard and wrote the darn book. You can do the rest too! So go do it!
Do you write full time? Can you tell us about other careers you’ve had/have?
I am working towards writing full time with a full time income. So far, I’m not there, but I am definitely moving forward! More fans, emails, interviews and yes, even book sales, every month!
As far as jobs I’ve had, I spent most of my life doing technical production for stage shows, concerts, events, tours and lots of other things. I guess I have been telling stories one way or another for quite a while.
Name one person you feel has really supported you in your writing career?
Hands down, my fiancée Linda. She is my biggest cheerleader and yet isn’t afraid to question things or ask questions about my work. I feel very fortunate to have her in my life. I also have a few friends who support my work. It’s funny though, you’ll find that most won’t. No idea why but most creative people I know will tell you the same thing. You need a lot of determination and will to just keep going, but I think it’s worth it.
Do you have a favourite author or book? What strikes you about their work or that book?
Hey I’m a reader so I have tons of favourite books and authors! Some, like Stephen king’s “On Writing”, are just inspirational and educational. Others, like Jurassic Park and “20000 Leagues Under the Sea”, are just great reads! But here are a few more in random order as I think of them… I’m sure I’ll leave out great stuff, but here is what comes to mind as I type this.
Fat Man and little Boy
The Right Stuff
A League of their own
Search for Red October
All Creatures Great and Small
A Man on the Moon
Miles: The Autobiography
Interview with the Vampire
The Da Vinci Code
Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy
The Lost Symbol
Is there anything else you’d like to add?
A final big thank you for those of you who made it this far! Writing can be a solitary journey, but if you feel the pull to take that trip, I say do it. Write your story, only YOU can write YOUR story! And when you do, drop me a line so I can check it out!

This Montpelier sculpture garden was a testament to climate change. Then it flooded.
Montpelier was one of the hardest hit areas in the recent major flooding that devastated many communities throughout the state. Water spread across State Street, including through the Vermont Arts Council sculpture garden located just a few hundred feet from the statehouse.
The installation, "Elements of Shelter," opened in May of this year. It was designed and created in partnership with the Yestermorrow Design Build School in Waitsfield. It will be up until May of 2025.
The exhibit features five tall timber frames in the shape of houses straddling a pathway through the garden. Each house displays one of the essential elements to Chinese medicine and shelter: earth, wood, metal, water and fire.
The elements are shown through intricate, colorful stained glass windows which seamlessly turn into paintings on the wood frame.
Yet these works of art saw feet of water lap at their wooden bases as water crested the banks of the Winooski River in July.
Meg Reinhold is one of the lead artists and painted the colorful, detailed wooden houses. She’s in awe the sculptures made it through the storm unharmed.
“It’s just, yeah, it’s amazing that it was able to withstand that, honestly,” Reinhold says.
The exhibit deals with themes of climate change and the housing crisis, both intertwined with the causes and consequences of this month’s flooding.
Some parts of Vermont saw upwards of nine inches of rain onto already saturated ground. As communities work on recovery, those seeking temporary housing face an extremely tight rental market.
Thea Alvin, the artwork’s other lead artist, worked with the stained glass. She says these five natural elements are intertwined with providing enough housing for Vermonters.
“These elements are all aspects of what it takes to build a house,” Alvin says. “But here, they are all segmented. And they're useless when they're in section, but they have to be put together, they have to be assembled in some meaningful way in order to provide actual shelter.”
In June, the state decided to stop funding a pandemic-era motel housing program for low income Vermonters, evicting around 800 people. But during the June legislative veto session, lawmakers voted to extend funding for roughly 1,200 households.
And Alvin and Reinhold’s work points to this lack of housing for those across the state.
“Having these fragile structures out here in the elements is a lot like our homeless folks that are around us at all times,” Alvin says. “And these elements are all aspects of what it takes to build a house. But here, they are all segmented and they're useless when they're in section, but they have to be put together, they have to be assembled in some meaningful way, in order to provide actual shelter.”
Alvin and Reinhold aimed to convey the fragility of housing through their work, like the delicacy of glass atop a wooden structure.
Having these fragile structures out here in the elements is a lot like our homeless folks that are around us at all times.Thea Alvin, "Elements of Shelter" co-lead artist
For Alvin, it’s personal. She cares for her mother who has Alzheimer’s disease. She says “it’s terrifying” how close the housing crisis touches everyone's lives.
“If we become houseless, that's very, very real. It's very real that a health crisis makes a family have no home,” Alvin says.
And like many throughout the state saw earlier last month, a climate crisis can rip a family’s home away from them as well.
Reinhold says much of "Elements of Shelter" has to do with balance. Balance between the elements of Mother Nature, and our role in her destruction.
“I think we need to have respect for these forces, you know, and understand that our behavior does have an influence on whether things are imbalanced or whether they're not,” she says.
Vermont is no stranger to the effects of climate change, as the state has warmed by three degrees in the past century, and annual average precipitation has increased by six inches in the past 60 years, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
Reinhold says it's important to find the balance between how these elements “help us and hurt us.” For example, take water and fire. They provide us many comforts in life, like plumbing, heating and cooking.
“They’re also things that will, you know, burn your house down and wash it away,” she says.
While the sculpture garden remained mostly unharmed, a bench designed by Johno Landsman, another artist on the project, did wash away. It was thankfully found and returned. Alvin says it's a symbol of the homeless population in Vermont.
“It allows us some rest and some comfort,” Alvin says, referring to the bench. “It's a juxtaposition of the solidity and the comfort that it offers to the fragility and the transparency of the other structures that are more vertical.”
And while the installation certainly deals with heavy themes, the artists say the creation behind the artwork was joyful.
Reinhold and Alvin met at Yestermorrow, where Alvin taught stonework classes and Reinhold worked as a cook. Reinhold took one of Alvin’s classes and they formed a bond not only as artists, but also as friends.
“She and I have a long friendship,” Alvin says. “She's painted the inside of my house, it's like walking into a forest.”
It was this relationship that inspired the two to collaborate on this installation when the Arts Council asked Yestermorrow to design a new exhibit.
Reinhold says she “really admired” the grandeur of Alvin’s work and that it encouraged her to think bigger.
“I had always worked very small as an artist and so that actually kind of got the wheels turning for me of like, 'Oh, what if I go big?'” she says.
For Alvin, going big surrounds all of her work.
“Going big has always been something that I aspire to in my work, I think, because I'm a small person, but also because I think that your physical size shouldn't characterize your voice and your capacity to reach people,” Alvin says.
But Alvin and Reinhold aren’t solely responsible for the powerful themes "Elements of Shelter" brings to light.
Desmond Peeples, the garden’s curator for the Arts Council, says the council wanted to display something different than recent years.
“When looking for a new partner for this sculpture garden, I wanted someone, an organization, that would have an unusual or unexpected take on sculpture,” Peeples says.
The Yestermorrow school fit right in with Peeples’ expectations. Anastastia Laurenzi co-curated the exhibit with Desmond and is the director of semester programs at Yestermorrow. She says the sculptures make visitors confront the reality of homelessness and climate change.
“It's become a broader conversation, like we realized that it's so much bigger than our own issues that we face in Vermont,” Laurenzi says. “But I think what's really great about this is that we are really asking poignant questions, and we're being asked to face it on a daily basis.”
And the questions this exhibit brings to life have an important audience: Vermont lawmakers. Standing tall on State Street, legislators are a constant presence.
Laurenzi says the installation’s location couldn’t be more important.
“Maybe the installation is somewhat of a mirror to the statehouse across the way and saying, 'We're asking these questions,'” she says. “'Can you ask these questions with us?'”
Alvin shares Laurenzi’s aspiration that "Elements of Shelter" highlights these topics for visitors.
“I'm really hopeful that this work inspires curiosity and exploration of new ways to approach problems,” she says.
Reinhold echoes Alvin and Laurenzi’s sentiments, and says the sculptures serve as a reminder of the floods, the strength of Vermonters and the power of Mother Earth.
“If there is breaking, if there is deterioration,” Reinhold says, referring to the houses, “I think that that's sort of an important history embedded in the work that marks this weather event. And it marks the fragility and the impossibility of building to withstand such crazy forces of nature.”

Professors Carlos Ramos-Scharrón, Eugenio Arima, Edgardo Latrubesse, and Kenneth Young recently visited Puerto Rico as part of current efforts to develop a new research project with local partners from the University of Puerto Rico’s Río Piedras and Mayaguez campuses and the US Forest Service’s International Institute of Tropical Forestry. Project partners met for a one-day gathering at the Center for Applied Tropical Ecology and Conservation of the UPR-Río Piedras, while also taking time to visit portions of the planned study area in Northeastern Puerto Rico. Site visits included trekking through rainforest at El Yunque National Forest, snorkeling coral reef ecosystems at the Arrecifes de la Cordillera Natural Reserve, and visiting seagrass and coastal mangrove communities located within the now closed Roosevelt Roads US NAVY base.
This visit was made possible through LLILAS’ Interdisciplinary Environmental Studies Faculty-Led Initiative. The initiative proposes the development of collaborative transdisciplinary research studies that help bridge the communication gaps that have historically existed between environmentally- and socially-inclined fields of study. This is particularly imperative nowadays when human impacts on the natural environment are being scientifically documented at the local scale, but are also widely accepted as being of global and socioeconomic significance.
Northeastern Puerto Rico represents a unique landscape to study the two-way interactions between humans with both terrestrial and marine ecosystems. Sugar cane production throughout the 19th and the first half of the 20thcenturies resulted in the decimation of forest resources throughout the region. In combination with more recent land use patterns related to tourism and urbanization, land use has resulted in further natural resource degradation, particularly by deteriorating water quality and marine ecosystems. The study intends to uncover the history of the region from the standpoint of archival evidence. However, the study intends to challenge the traditional approach of conducting such research by consulting not only human-conceived means to record history, but also more organic alternatives such as oral histories and the use of chemical proxies found in sediment deposits and within coral reef tissue. Completion of these goals will require numerous disciplines including geography, anthropology, hydrology, ecology, history, and economics, among many others. The results of this research are meant also to improve land and marine conservation activities. Efforts are currently underway to solicit long-term sources of funding for this study.

KUSA - It's going to cost a lot for cities and counties in Colorado to rebuild what they had before this month's floods.
Local governments do expect to get money from the state and federal government to help, but the speed of rebuilding may depend on how quickly that money gets here.
Not counting state highways, Boulder County thinks its share of rebuilding roads and Bridges is going to top $100 million-- more money Boulder County would normally spend in a year on fixing its roads, and more than it has in savings right now.
"We planned for a rainy day, not a rainy week," said Boulder County Commissioner Elise Jones, "where we got an entire year's worth of precipitation in five days."
The county froze spending on all regular road projects to pay for fixing flood damage first.
With public disaster assistance, FEMA is going to pick up 75 percent of the cost of repairing broken infrastructure.
The remaining quarter is going to be split between the state and local government, Gov. John Hickenlooper's office says.
However, the local governments worry they'll have to front the entire cost first, and then wait to be reimbursed.
Some don't have the cash to do that, which makes it possible that cash flow issues could delay some repairs.
"It's a certainly a possibility. We're working as hard as we can to make sure that's not the case," said Jones.
RECENT COLORADO FLOODING STORIES
Counties have some reserve money in their general funds, but say state law prohibits them from using that money on road projects.
"I think that law makes sense in normal construction and maintenance needs to be fair to cities and counties," said Larimer County Commissioner Steve Johnson. "But it doesn't make sense in a disaster situation with unprecedented immediate needs."
The governor's office told local officials it's looking for a legal way around that issue.
Whether it takes budget gymnastics or a change to state law, Johnson says it needs to get done for the people in counties like his.
"I'd rather build the roads and get their needs met and maybe beg for forgiveness later if I have to," said Johnson.
Jones is lobbying for another idea.
"We're talking with the state about whether or not they could serve as a bank perhaps for counties like mine," said Jones. "But also some of the smaller towns like Jamestown and Lyons who have very, very small budgets to work with."
The state could be in a better financial position to front repair costs and wait for a check from FEMA, but CDOT officials have not yet determined whether that idea can move forward.
Cash flow is just one of many obstacles.
There's a lot of damage out there and only so many construction crews to go around.
There are already signs of winter in the mountains to the West, a reminder there will only be time for temporary fixes in a lot of places.
Some permanent repairs will have to wait until next year.

On Capitol Hill, we all know each other. Clients are also neighbors, friends. We run into each other at Eastern Market, at neighborhood gatherings. In my practice, I see spouses, parents, the grown kids, cousins, aunts, grandparents. This is not unusual here. It really is a village.
I love working with families. It means a larger identity can be addressed, the family soul. Using those words makes it sound too esoteric. It isn't. It's clan identity I can address when I see different actors in a sacred family drama.
I often see several members of a family after a loss, or when someone is very ill. In a family crisis, everyone participates, even the family members who are 1,000 miles away. We share DNA, we share our life histories. When something big happens, everyone in the family feels it.
Sometimes storms pass through families. More than one person gets sick, someone dies or feels suicidal, gets fired, divorced. There's a feeling of foreboding in the family soul at times like that, like it feels right before a dangerous thunderstorm.
How can I support the spirit of the clan as well as the individuals as the storm moves through? How can I help stabilize and encourage the family members who are healthy and can act as anchors? How do I address the pain of the ones who are facing the storm head-on? Is it even possible to hope for balance? Maybe the chaos is inevitable.
I have no idea whether or even if I can support family souls during times of crisis, but I have to try. Right?
It's a glorious feeling when the storm passes. A baby is born into the family, or someone gets married, graduates successfully or something else full of promise takes place. It's always such a relief.
The American family soul is currently experiencing a shitstorm of crisis. I'm definitely not taking that on, though. One clan at a time, please. Thank you.

James then begins to stalk Dorian, causing Dorian to fear for his life. On returning home, Dorian notices that the portrait has changed; his wish has come true, and the man in the portrait bears a subtle sneer of cruelty. No glamorous, elaborate take on the Devil, but the atmosphere provided that suggestion.
The picture of Dorian Gray is Basil's masterpiece. James then begins to stalk Dorian, causing Dorian to fear for his life. Dorian Gray and Basil Hallward both briefly appear as fictional characters in the erotic graphic novel Lost Girlsin a faux-Wilde homosexual erotica read by one of the secondary characters.
An ethical sympathy in an artist is an unpardonable mannerism of style. Literature[ edit ] "The Wedding Present", a short story in the anthology Smoke and Mirrors by Neil Gaiman re-imagines the story from the perspective of a modern newlywed wife.
Victoria, Lady Henry Wotton — Lord Henry's wife, whom he treats disdainfully; she later divorces him. Summary[ edit ] Dorian Gray is the subject of a full-length portrait in oil by Basil Hallward, an artist who is impressed and infatuated by Dorian's beauty ; he believes that Dorian's beauty is responsible for the new mood in his art as a painter.
InAustralian production house Diatomic Productions commissioned playwrights Greg Eldridge and Liam Suckling to adapt the novel into a three-act play. A 19th century London opium den based on fictional accounts of the day.
On returning to London, Dorian tells Lord Henry that he will live righteously from now on. If they really knew who he was, they would tremble. The references in Dorian Gray to specific chapters are deliberately inaccurate.
Alan later kills himself over the deed. The preface was first published in the edition of the novel; nonetheless, by JuneWilde was defending The Picture of Dorian Gray against accusations that it was a bad book. The portrait has become so hideous that Basil is only able to identify it as his work by the signature he affixes to all his portraits.
Newly understanding that his beauty will fade, Dorian expresses the desire to sell his soul, to ensure that the picture, rather than he, will age and fade. Lord Henry is what the world thinks of me: There was a glimmer of warmth -- it flickered and faded with the innocent Sibyl Vane character.
Disruptive beauty is the thematic resemblance between the opera and The Picture of Dorian Gray.
In the 30 June issue of the Daily Chroniclethe book critic said that Wilde's novel contains "one element Beside him, the portrait is now restored to its former appearance of beauty. James runs after Dorian, but he has gone.
There are many things that we would throw away, if we were not afraid that others might pick them up. The musical premiered in and is set in the late s, with the character of Dorian transformed from a member of the idle rich to an aspiring young model.
After Sibyl's suicide, James becomes obsessed with killing Dorian, and stalks him, but a hunter accidentally kills James. What do you think of it all. A cautionary tale of depravity and sham.
In the preface to the novelWilde said that the notion behind the tale is "old in the history of literature", but was a thematic subject to which he had "given a new form".
Frightened that his wish for his likeness in the painting to bear the ill effects of his behavior has come true and that his sins will be recorded on the canvas, he resolves to make amends with Sibyl the next day. I should fancy that crime was to them what art is to us, simply a method of procuring extraordinary sensations"—implying that Dorian is two men, a refined aesthete and a coarse criminal.
Yet the monster IS the man -- and hides within all of us. As his behaviour improves Gray expects the painting to begin returning to its original state — so is horrified to find it even more grotesque.
On returning home, Dorian notices that the portrait has changed; his wish has come true, and the man in the portrait bears a subtle sneer of cruelty.
Sibyl, too enamoured with Dorian to act, performs poorly, which makes both Basil and Lord Henry think Dorian has fallen in love with Sibyl because of her beauty instead of her acting talent. In a rage, he takes the knife with which he murdered Basil Hallward, and stabs the picture. She kills herself on learning that Dorian no longer loves her; at that, Lord Henry likens her to Opheliain Hamlet.

It’s hard to imagine a worksite without a forklift. There’s a reason why experience operating US industrial machinery is on job applications. It’s a serious skill.
Death statistics are impactful. The truth is that the 85 yearly deaths caused by forklift accidents are 85 too many. Forklift mishaps lead to 34,900 severe injuries a year—all likely preventable.
Knowing the risk of using heavy machinery can prevent forklift accidents. If you’re in the construction industry, using powered industrial trucks comes with the territory.
Here’s how to stay safe using them.
How to Avoid a Forklift Accident
Like driving, your best offense is playing defense. While no one expects a forklift accident, you can err on the side of caution with these tips.
1. Gain Spatial Awareness
Whether you’re a new or rehearsed forklift driver, not all machines are the same. Seated and standing forklifts can change how you position yourself and your load.
Spatial awareness changes on each machine and in different environments. Forklifts in a warehouse need more precision than using one outdoors.
Learning how to drive a forklift means growing accustomed to its size in relation to your workspace. Be sure to move potential obstacles beforehand to pave a safe path.
2. Gain Mechanical Awareness
The leading cause of forklift operator injuries comes from forklift overturns. That’s code for slow down, operators.
Overturns stem from jolted movements, speed, uneven loads, and lack of spatial awareness. Like driving, cars are extensions of ourselves—it’s important to know your vehicle.
3. Learn the Vehicle
To prevent forklift accidents caused by machine issues, always check your forklift for the basics. Make sure it has the following:
- A smooth-moving mast to lift loads up and down
- Full tires
- Thick, non-squeaking brake pads
- Good steering wheel mobility
- Balanced coolant levels to prevent overheating
Like any vehicle, it’s best to assess for red flags before hitting the gas.
4. Use a Forklift Service
When in doubt, use a forklift service! If you’re renting, repairing, or buying a forklift, Superior Industrial Products can provide you with a bonus education and training.
There’s no reason to gamble with your safety. As a safety-first company, we help you know your machine to stay safe and successful.
Successful forklift operations involve physical and mental aptitude. Knowing how to drive a forklift without good communication makes for a poor forklift operator.
Forklifts are loud, so you can be too. Wear visible clothing for your staff. Communicate with workers about your agenda to keep clear of other vehicles.
Good communication ensures safe forklift operating.
Forklift Accident Prevention
Safe forklift operators are focused. Juggling yourself, the machine, the load, and the environment requires optimal alertness. While forklifts move slower than cars, heavy machinery is dangerous.
It’s true that knowledge is power, but knowing how to work a forklift doesn’t do much without practice. Forklift accidents are easily prevented through continued use.
The good news is you’re not on your own to learn. Contact us today for forklift parts, equipment, and allied products to keep you safely truckin’ along.

Kings, Saint Patrick and the oldest wall murals in Ireland. What about this for a rock star?
One of the most impressive medieval sites on the island of Ireland, the roofless Rock of Cashel was once the seat of the kings of Munster. In Cormac’s Chapel, images painted over 800 years are being coaxed back to life thanks to a painstaking restoration project. You’re in the footsteps of saints, too, as this is where King Aengus was baptised by Saint Patrick who mistakenly placed his crozier through the king’s foot.
You’ll have a much nicer time. We promise.

Ah! The funky, immortal, opening guitar riff to the Doobie Brothers song, "Long Train Running". We used to play that song in my first band (Rogues Gallery) back in Ireland, many years ago in the hippy 70s.
In those days we were a fairly tight four-piece, comprised of guitar, bass, keyboards and drums. We used to play a mixture of blues, rock 'n' roll, the Beatles, some JJ Cale, Carole King, and the odd pop tune. Plus, we all used to sing to some extent and supply harmonies.
I played keyboards and also used to play the harmonica solo in Long Train Running. It was the only song in which I played the harmonica. I wasn't Paul Butterfield or anything, or really serious about the harmonica, but still, I had learned off the solo. Long Train Running was one of the highlights of the night.
One night, we were playing at our Saturday night residency uptown at Murtagh's bar, a long, narrow, poky bar with a small stage at the very end, with a half-wall extending out from the left. Along its length there was a small bench facing the stage, with room to accommodate about ten people.
There was no room for a keyboard, for the pool table occupied that hallowed spot. However, whenever extra space was required, the table was moved off into the left corner, then a thin, wobbly piece of chipboard was ceremoniously placed on top, which band devotees, later in the night, would intuitively interpret as a convenient place to lovingly place their drinks. I would then step on top of this makeshift, undulating structure, set up my keyboard and perch comfortably behind my instrument.
Recessions were unheard of in the 70s, or at least, in living memory. On Saturday nights, the pubs were just thronged, as indeed they were on every other night. This Saturday night was no exception. The joint was jumping. The gig lasted from 9-11:30pm. We started on time and the gig was going well. By the time we took a break, a generous sampling of beer glasses and bottles was in evidence on the pool table's ledge. The weekend merriment was well under way.
The band returned after the break and as I say, things were going well, that is, until we started to play Long Train Running. The guitarist, Beatle lookalike Mike, introduced the tune, then immediately broke into "Diddle-di-dum…. Wah-wah-wah-diddle-di-dum. " (for want of a better way to represent that famous funky riff). The bass player then began to build the tune, and finally the drummer broke into the song driving the song and got the crowd going.
At the start of the song I knew the harmonica solo would soon be coming up. I usually kept the harmonica in my pocket. I went to pull it out. No harmonica. I searched all of my pockets, while still playing the piano, but came up empty. The riff continued.
The eyes of the entire band now turned to me, silently speaking the words, "John...-harmonica solo". No harmonica solo. I scrambled again to find the harmonica, looking behind and around my seat. The guitar player came across the stage and leaned over to me, "I bet you left it out in the van, he offered, contemptuously. An assenting light went off in my head, my eyes widening.
Without prior rehearsal, three tenor voices, in unison, managed to perfectly entone : "-Ya fookin' eejit! Go out to the van and get it". I never stopped to question the absurdity of this peremptory request in the situation.
"Wah-wah-wah-diddle-di-dum. Wah-wah-wah-diddle-di-dum". The riff continued unabated, but no harmonica solo obtained. Apparently, we didn't have the necessary experience to improvise around this unexpected situation.
The guitarist tossed the van's keys to me. Panicking, with no time to think, I rapidly dismounted the pool table, making my way across the narrow strip of chipboard in between the keyboard and the public's proud row of drinks. I took a few heavy strides over the deeply undulating table cover whose behavior resembled that of a trampoline.
At that point, around three and a half yards of glasses and bottles of drink were projected into the air, spraying their copious contents over a disastrously-wide radius, finally cascading and smashing onto the floor. A line of about ten serious drinkers all rapidly immediately pulled back to avoid the unsolicited shower of assorted drink I had sent their way.
I jumped down onto the floor and inched my way through the crowd out to the van amid shrieking, angry protests from our erstwhile fans, who by now had murderous intent. Leaving them behind for the moment, I pushed my way through the crowd with great difficulty, went outside, opened the van and rummaged around for the harmonica. I found it easily enough, shut the van, and returned, again edging my way through the crush.
By this time, the band had discovered true improvisation, and had been through guitar, bass, and drum solos. I jumped back up onto the chipboard, giving a repeat glass and bottle performance amid vociferous threats, and played the harmonica solo, thus saving the song and our honor.
The gig continued. We triumphantly played the last song, after which, considerable applause followed. I carefully dismounted from the pool table. It was then that I had to face the real long train. I had to stand before a summary tribunal, composed of a long line of really pissed-off, grim faces, true devotees of drink. I sheepishly proffered profuse apologies. I hoped they wouldn't all hit me up for mass alcoholic beverage replenishment, or worse, hit me.
In united fashion, without conflict, they all held up their glasses in front of me, vociferously indicating their choice of beverage. "Two pints of Carlsberg, a pint of Guinness, and a double whiskey. Three gin and tonics, three vodka and cokes. Mine's a pint of Guinness and a short. Two pints of cider, and a rum and coke. A pint of Guinness for me. Two Smithwicks, two Guinness and two glasses of port. -Oh! and an orange and two pepsis".
I was still paying off my credit card for the keyboard at the time, but it seemed that the money from the gig would be blown on drink, before even getting to raise a glass to my lips. Those were the days, my friends.


The new Chevrolet Corvette Z06 is officially GM’s most powerful product as it finally announces the vital stats: 641bhp and 650lb ft from the supercharged LT4 6.2 V8.
This means that the new model is not only more powerful than the previous one (of course it is), but it beats also the crazy C6 ZR1 as well, putting it on a par with true exotics, at least when engine figures are concerned. GM says that 0-60mph takes under 3.5sec.
How’s that possible?
The new LT4 engine is based on the LT1 V8 found in the ‘basic’ Corvette Stingray and as you would expect, it packs revised internals such as different cylinder heads, lightweight titanium intake valves, forged aluminium pistons and a dry sump to complement the supercharger which spins up to 20,000rpm. A 10.0:1 compression ratio was allowed by the use of direct injection, helping the general performance and efficiency of the powerplant.
The new Z06 will be offered with the seven-speed manual transmission as standard while, for the first time ever, there will be an option of an automatic Z06 which will use an all-new eight-speed paddle-shift gearbox.
Steve Kiefer, vice president of GM Powertrain Engineering, said: ‘The LT4 Small Block sets a new benchmark for power and torque at GM. The engine also puts the new Corvette Z06 on par with the most powerful supercars offered in America, while delivering performance with impeccable manners that make it suitable for daily driving.’
What makes the Corvette Z06 stand out
If you think about it, the new Corvette Z06 will be one of the very few cars globally on offer with this amount of firepower and a manual gearbox, making it in a way a bit more special and rare. And we approve this kind of specialness.
