L�bes�sonen 2008

2008-02-17T12:37:00.007+01:00

Det er stadig tidligt p� s�sonen. Et par pejlem�rker ligger dog allerede forholdsvis fast. Jeg skal givetvis fors�ge at revanchere mig ovenp� de sidste �rs pauvre resultater i Eremitagel�bet, men det ligger jo stadig et stykke ud i fremtiden.

Til geng�ld begynder �rets store l�beudfordring allerede at n�rme sig. Et mindre kup fra mine badminton "venner" bet�d at jeg blev meldt til Brol�bet Storeb�lt 2008, mens de beh�ndigt trak tiden til der var udsolgt! Brol�bet er et halvmarathon, hvilket er en noget l�ngere distance end jeg tidligere har fors�gt mig med, og det l�ber allerede af stabelen d. 31. maj 2008.

Jeg har derfor hyret en (virtuel) personlig tr�ner gennem min arbejdsplads ved at tilmelde mig din-form.dk, som tilbyder at l�gge en personlig tr�ningsplan, der er afpasset mine m�l og evner. P� nuv�rende tidspunkt har jeg gennemf�rt den f�rste uges tr�ning, som har best�et af 3 gange en halv times intervaltr�ning med en blanding af gang og l�b. Et stille og roligt udl�g, som ikke desto mindre har kunne m�rkes i benene, som ikke har v�ret if�rt l�besko siden Eremitagel�bet 2007.

Apropos l�besko - det er ogs� blevet til et nye l�besko, idet jeg faldt over et godt tilbud p� udsalget. For f�rste gang pr�ver jeg at l�be i Nike, n�rmere betegnet et par Nike Air Structure Triax +10 GTX. Med s�dan et navn kan det kun g� for langsomt!

Oprykningen sikret for FSSG&I

2008-01-28T22:19:00.001+01:00

Efter p� overlegen vis at have fejet al modstand af banen, er det allerede i tredjesidste spillerunde en kendsgerning at FSSG&I suser direkte igennem serie VII. Trods nogle p� papiret kompetente modstandere, er det med en gedigen holdindsats lykkedes at sikre en f�ring p� 7 point med kun 2 spillerunder tilbage, og dermed at sikre oprykningen.

Det er som tidligere n�vnt fodbold-spillet Hattrick, det drejer sig om, og det er ikke blevet ringere efter de nyeste tiltag, hvor der bla.a. er �bnet mulighed for at have sin egen ungdomsafdeling med mulighed for selv at opdyrke de kommende talenter!

Eremitagel�bet 2007

2007-10-07T15:24:00.000+02:00

Endnu et gennemf�rt Eremitagel�b - og tiden er jo ikke s� ringe, hvis man fraregner al den tid, som jeg har sparet ved ikke at tr�ne.

Andre deltageres resultater: Ole (1:00:01), J�rgen (1:10:19), Rene (1:18:53).

What is this?

�rets sommerferie b�d p� en vandretur i Fagaras-bjergene. Det var endnu engang Topas Adventure Travel, som fik lov at st� for turen, som blev gennemf�rt sammen med min gode ven J�rgen.

10 dage i Rum�nien, der l�nge har ligget som �steuropas glemte hj�rne. Landet byder imidlertid p� fantastisk natur og uopdagede vandremuligheder. Dette kan du nu v�re med til at opleve p� denne hytte-til-hytte tur.

Fra hytte til hytte i Fagaras bjergene - en del af de sydlige Karpater
Rum�niens st�rste og mest spektakul�re bjergmassiv med toppe over 2500m
Vandring i et omr�de med et us�dvanlig rigt og forskelligartet dyre- og planteliv

Eremitagel�bet 2006

2006-10-09T13:36:00.000+02:00

Tja, hvad skal jeg sige til det? Jeg gennemf�rte da...

Til geng�ld var der andre, som leverede flotte resultater: Ole (59:16), J�rgen (1:08:25), Peter (1:07:38), Michael (1:10:31).

Poker (opd.)

2006-09-24T00:08:00.000+02:00

I forbindelse med et firmaarrangement p� Egeskov Slot for nylig, fik jeg lejlighed til at stifte bekendtskab med poker under kyndig vejledning af en af danmarks efterh�nden mange professionelle pokerspillere, Theo J�rgensen. Da der samtidig er en del af mine kolleger, som spiller online poker p� nettet, var der jo ingen vej udenom, s� jeg blev n�dt til at �bne en konto hos PartyPoker. Efter lidt fiflerier p� de helt billige borde, fors�gte jeg mig i en satellit-turnering, som giver adgang til de rigtig store turneringer, og det gik jo hverken v�rre eller bedre end at jeg sikrede mig en af de pladser, som gav adgang til "PartyPoker.com Sunday Million Guaranteed". Som navnet antyder, spiller vi om en samlet pr�miepulje p� $1.000.000, s� nu m� vi se om jeg skal ud at kigge p� ny bil i n�ste uge. Uanset hvad, skal jeg nok komme med en beretning fra turneringen, som l�ber af stabelen i morgen aften.

Uha, det bliver sp�ndende....

(opd.) Ja, s� blev det heller ikke mere sp�ndende... Det s� ellers lovende ud med en f�rstepr�mie p� $160.000 og pr�mier helt ned til nr. 600, men jeg r�g ud som nr. 3900 ud af ca. 5000, s� det var ikke engang t�t p�. Mit Waterloo blev at jeg - trods intentioner om det modsatte - spillede alt for "loose" fra starten, og det kostede hurtigt for mange chips. N�, men s� er jeg da den erfaring rigere!

L�betr�ningen genoptaget

2006-08-20T19:58:00.000+02:00

Nogle �mme ribben efter et styrt p� cyklen i sommerferien har betydet en ufrivillig pause i l�betr�ningen, men nu er jeg s� sm�t kommet i gang igen. Det er ogs� ved at v�re p� tide, da der st�r en stribe motionsl�b for d�ren. 30/8 st�r den p� Spartas DHL-stafet i F�lledparken, 24/9 er det tid til Berlingskes Fril�b og endelig venter Eremitagel�bet d. 8/10. (jeg meldte mig trods mit brokkeri)

Fisketur p� Esrum S�

2006-07-09T20:16:00.000+02:00

S� kom vi endelig afsted p� fisketur igen. Allerede inden vi havde forladt S�rup Havn var det f�rste mytteri en kendsgerning, men herefter faldt der ro over mandskabet og det blev til en hyggelig s�ndag i den gode jolle "Online" p� Esrum S�.

Fisk s� vi ikke noget til, men vejret var godt, og der var rigelig med mad og kolde �l. Jan p�stod ganske vist at han havde bid en enkelt gang, og n�sten fik halet k�mpen over r�lingen, men det kan hvem som helst jo komme og sige ;^)

L�betr�ning

2006-06-05T22:10:00.000+02:00

Jeg har endnu ikke helt besluttet mig til om jeg skal finde mig i de eksorbitante prisstigninger og melde mig til Eremitagel�bet i �r, men under alle omst�ndigheder tr�nger jeg til at komme i gang med l�betr�ningen.

Tilf�ldigvis indeholdt weekendens Berlinger s� en artikel, hvor Paula Larrain fra DR1 og Mikael Kamber fra TV2 startede l�betr�ningen til Berlingskes motionsl�b, Fril�bet. De har f�et Henrik J�rgensen til at udarbejde et tr�ningsprogramm for begyndere og et for �vede l�bere. Et realistisk blik p� min nuv�rende form afgjorde valget, s� nu fors�ger jeg mig med at f�lge begynderprogrammet i de kommende 16 uger. M�ske f�r jeg blod p� tanden og strammer ambitionsniveauet undervejs, men det skader jo ikke at l�gge stille og roligt ud.

Det var ihvertfald teorien, men den viste pulskurve afsl�rer at det allerede fra starten kniber med at tage det helt s� stille og roligt som tr�ningsprogrammet foresl�r. Det er i�vrigt f�rste gang, at jeg f�r brugt mulighederne for at lave intervaltr�ning med mit pulsur. Smart!

Hovedl�s putning

2006-05-31T22:36:00.000+02:00

Normalt er en runde golf udfordrende nok i sig selv, men p� 6. hul i dagens herredagsmatch blev sv�rhedsgraden strammet en tand, da hovedet kn�kkede af min putter. (det var ikke fordi jeg gik amok eller noget!)

Da der jo var tale om en match var der jf. golfreglerne ikke mulighed for at l�ne sig frem, s� hvad g�r man s�? Tjaa, der var jo ikke andet at g�re end at finde det bedst mulige redskab blandt de resterende k�ller i tasken. Valget faldt p� min 3-k�lle, som ganske vist var s� lang at den n�sten kunne bruges som "belly putter", men til geng�ld var forholdsvis lige og uden for meget loft.

Om det var fordi jeg koncentrerede mig mere end normalt eller fordi en 3-k�lle i virkeligheden er en udm�rket putter skal jeg lade st� hen i det uvisse, men resultater var s�m�nd udm�rket. Jeg tror h�jst at det blev til nogle ganske f� ekstra putts i forholdet til hvad jeg kunne have klaret med min normale putter, men succesen var dog ikke st�rre, end at jeg regner med, at skulle ud og anskaffe en ny putter inden n�ste golfrunde ;^)

Eremitagel�b 2006 - for dyrt?

2006-05-20T19:12:00.000+02:00

S� er der �bnet for tilmelding til Eremitagel�bet 2006 for tidligere �rs deltagere. Jeg plejer at bruge l�bet som motivation til sommerens l�betr�ning, og melder mig normalt til med det samme.

I �r overvejer jeg dog at springe fra i min egen stille protest, da arrang�rerne efterh�nden strammer prisen lige lovligt meget. I 2005 kunne man melde sig til for kr. 150, men i �r er den billigste tilmeldingsform oppe p� kr. 196,50, alts� en stigning p� over 30% for den samme vare.

Jeg er ikke den eneste, som synes at der er g�et lidt vel rigelig inflation i l�bet. B�de p� E-l�bets eget forum og p� dourun's forum diskuteres prisstigningen flittigt.

Kyle Mills: Fade (4 af 6)

2006-05-06T21:47:00.000+02:00

A secret wing of the US Homeland Security is recruiting agents to work undercover in the Middle East, and the director wants his second-in-command, Matt Egan, to bring aboard an old friend.

Salam Al Fayed - 'Fade' - is perfect. An ex-Navy Seal, he is the son of immigrants and speaks Arabic like a native. Bur Fade's retired. Embittered and alone, he's not too fond of anyone in the government. Least of all his ex-best friend, Matt Egan.

Against Egan's wishes, the director tries to persuade Fade to join the team. But Fade, angry and hopeless, is prepared to fight back at any cost. The chase is on: will Matt be able to find his friend-turned-fugitive before Fade can take the ultimate revenge?

Golfs�sonen 2006

2006-05-03T21:56:00.000+02:00

Timingen kunne d�rligt have v�ret bedre. P� en af de f�rste lune for�rsaftener blev golfs�sonen 2006 �bnet. Det var f�rste match i �rets herredagsturnering, og det endte med et h�derligt resultat p� 30 point. Knap s� h�derligt, n�r man kigger p� nettoscoren, som endte p� 79 pga. en 11'er p� hul 6.

Hjortespring-banen har desv�rre lidt alvorlig overlast i vinterens l�b. Greens best�r prim�rt af grus med enkelte gr�nne pletter, hvilket naturligvis ikke kan undg� at p�virke spillet, da putningen bliver noget tilf�ldig. Jeg er sp�ndt p� at se, hvordan vores greenkeepere vil redde de s�rgelige rester uden at skulle lukke sommergreens i en periode.

Steven King: Bag of Bones (4 af 6)

2006-04-30T21:31:00.000+02:00

Several years after his wife's death, novelist Mike Noonan still suffers writers block. A dream inspires him to return to the couple's summer retreat in western Maine, a lakeside house called Sara Laughs. Shortly after arriving, Noonan is caught in the middle of a custody battle involving the daughter of an attractive young widow and the child's enormously wealthy grandfather. He also discovers that Sara Laughs is haunted and that his late wife, Joanna, still has something to tell him.

David Morrell: Creepers (3 af 6)

2006-04-22T21:15:00.000+02:00

On a chilly October night, five people gather in a run-down motel on the Jersey shore and begin preparations to break into The Paragon Hotel. Built in the glory days of Asbury Park by a reclusive millionaire, the magnificent structure, which foreshadowed the beauties of Art Deco architecture, is now boarded-up and marked for demolition.

The five people are 'creepers', the slang term for urban explorers: city archeologists with a passion for investigating abandoned buildings and their dying secrets. On this evening, they are joined by a reporter who wants to profile them - anonymously, as this is a highly illegal activity - for a New York Times article.

Balenger, the sandy-haired, broad-shouldered reporter with a decided air of mystery about him, isn?t looking for just a story, however. And after the group enters the rat-infested tunnel leading to the hotel, it becomes clear that he will get much more than he bargained for. Danger, terror, and death await the creepers in a place ravaged by time and redolent of evil.

Kim Stanley Robinson: Escape from Kathmandu (4 af 6)

2006-04-15T17:28:00.000+02:00

Udover at der er tale om en stribe ganske underholdende noveller, bidrager det helt bestemt til oplevelsen, at jeg tilbage i '97 var p� trekking tur i Nepal og dermed kan nikke genkendende til mange af de milj�er, som handlingen udspilles i. Ikke mindst beskrivelserne fra Kathmandu, hvor hovedpersonerne bev�ger sig rundt i Thamel omr�det, p� Durbar Square og Freak Street.

A laugh-out-loud romp through the Himalayas from the worldwide bestselling author of the Mars series The Great Mysteries of Nepal are in danger of being uncovered and destroyed: George and Fred are hanging out in Nepal, trekking, climbing and generally having a good time. Before long they find themselves caught up in some weird schemes: rescuing a real, live yeti from a bunch of deranged scientists; scaling Mount Everest; saving the mystical city of Shangri-La and the extraordinary Kingdom Underground. On the way they're chased by the US Secret Service, join forces with a 431-year-old Tibetan and almost start World War III...

Steve Martini: Critical Mass (3 af 6)

2006-04-09T15:07:00.000+02:00

Joss Cole, a burned-out public defender from LA has opted for a quieter life in Washington State. Then into her office walks Dean Belden in search of a lawyer to help him set up a business. Within days Belden appears before a federal grand jury and, just minutes before testifying, he is killed.

Meanwhile, Gideon van Ry, a nuclear fission expert in California, is troubled by the failure to account for two nuclear devices missing from the former Soviet Union. Under a false bill of lading, they were shipped to a company called Belden Electronics, and Gideon's only lead is the lawyer who incorporated Belden Electronics - Joss Cole...

Sidste chance for oprykning

2006-04-02T17:07:00.000+02:00

S� er det ved at v�re sidste chance, hvis FSSG&I skal rykke op i �r. De 2 bedste hold i r�kken rykker op, f�rstepladsen er besat, og FSSG&I ligger pt. p� en 4. plads med et enkelt point op til 2. pladsen med 2 kampe tilbage. Kampen i dag er p� udebane i L�veparken mod L�vehjerte F.C., som i �jeblikket bestrider den forlokkende 2. plads, og en sejr er et absolut krav, hvis h�bet om oprykning skal bevares.

Hvis der er nogen som undrer sig over hvad jeg snakker om, kan jeg oplyse at jeg er i gang med min 3. s�son i vel nok verdens st�rste online fodbold spil, Hattrick. Der er pt. tilmeldt 35496 hold alene i Danmark, hvoraf hele 6614 deltagere er online i skrivende stund, hvor vi n�rmer os kampstart for denne uges ligakampe.

Spillet afvikles i realtid, s� der spilles kampe hver s�ndag (plus ekstra kampe hvis man stadig er med i pokalturneringen). I den mellemliggende tid kan man s� tr�ne sine spillere eller handle med dem. Man kan ogs� pleje sine sponsorer og supportere, udbygge sit stadion eller i �vrigt foretage sig mange af de aktiviteter, som h�rer med til at v�re manager for et profesionelt fordboldhold.

Pr�v det!

Ken Follett: Whiteout (4 af 6)

2006-04-01T17:16:00.000+02:00

A missing canister of a deadly virus. A lab technician bleeding from the eyes. Toni Gallo, the security director of a Scottish medical research firm, knows she has problems, but she has no idea of the nightmare to come.

As a Christmas Eve blizzard whips out of the north, several people converge on a remote family house. Stanley Oxenford, the research company's director, has everything riding on the drug he is developing to fight the virus - but he isn't the only one: His grown children, who have come to spend Christmas, have their eyes on the money it will bring.

Toni Gallo, forced to resign from the police department in disgrace, is betting her career on keeping the drug safe; a local television reporter, determined to move up, has sniffed the story, even if he has to bend the facts to tell it; and a violent trio of thugs is on its way to steal it for a client already waiting - though what the client really has in mind is something that will shock them all.

As the storm worsens, the emotional sparks - jealousies, distrust, sexual attraction, rivalries - crackle; desperate secrets are revealed; hidden traitors and unexpected heroes emerge ...

David Gibbins: Atlantis (2 af 6)

2006-03-26T13:53:00.000+02:00

Archaeologist Jack Howard is a brave but cautious man. When he embarked on a new search for buried treasure in the Mediterranean, he knew it was a long shot. When he uncovered a golden disc that spoke of a lost civilization more advanced than any in the ancient world, he started to get excited. But when Jack Howard and his intrepid crew finally got close to uncovering the secrets the sea had held for thousands of years, nothing could have prepared them for what they would find..

Michael Cordy: Lucifer (3 af 6)

2006-03-18T20:05:00.000+01:00

What Happens to us when we die?

Oblivion. Or so believes Dr Miles Fleming, a brilliant, young neuroscientist who has developed a device capable of reading human brainwaves. But when his own brother contacts him after being certified dead for six whole minutes, Fleming wonders if he's got it all wrong.

His search for the truth uncovers a terrifying plot to stage the most ambitious experiment the world has ever seen – to prove beyond doubt the existence of a heaven or a hell. As the world awaits the final judgement, Fleming must confront his darkest fears to save not only his own soul but that of all humanity.

Lucifer is a heartstopping descent into our deepest fears. At its core is the story of one man's courageous quest for meaning and purpose in a world where hope is perilously elusive.

Timothy Zahn: The Last Command (4 af 6)

2006-03-11T16:12:00.000+01:00

The embattled Republic reels from the attacks of Grand Admiral Thrawn, who has marshaled the remnants of the Imperial forces and driven the Rebels back with an abominable technology recovered from the Emperor's secret fortress: clone soldiers. As Thrawn mounts his final siege, Han and Chewbacca struggle to form a coalition of smugglers for a last-ditch attack against the empire, while Leia holds the Alliance together and prepares for the birth of her Jedi twins. Overwhelmed by the ships and clones at Thrawn's command, the Republic has one last hope--sending a small force, led by Luke Skywalker, into the very stronghold that houses Thrawn's terrible cloning machines. There a final danger awaits, as the Dark Jedi C'baoth directs the battle against the Rebels and builds his strength to finish what he had already started: the destruction of Luke Skywalker.

Timothy Zahn: Dark Force Rising (4 af 6)

2006-03-09T16:10:00.000+01:00

The dying Empire's most cunning and ruthless warlord--Grand Admiral Thrawn--has taken command of the remnants of the Imperial fleet and launched a massive campaign aimed at the New Republic's destruction. With the aid of unimaginable weapons long hidden away by the Emperor on a backwater planet, Thrawn plans to turn the tide of battle, overwhelm the New Republic, and impose his iron rule throughout the galaxy. Meanwhile, Han and Lando Calrissian race against time to find proof of treason inside the highest Republican Council--only to discover instead a ghostly fleet of warships that could bring doom to their friends and victory to their enemies. Yet most dangerous of all is a new Dark Jedi, risen from the ashes of a shrouded past, consumed by bitterness... and scheming to corrupt Luke Skywalker to the Dark Side.

Timothy Zahn: Heir to the Empire (4 af 6)

2006-03-07T16:00:00.000+01:00

It's five years after Return of the Jedi: the Rebel Alliance has destroyed the Death Star, defeated Darth Vader and the Emperor, and driven out the remnants of the old Imperial Starfleet to a distant corner of the galaxy. Princess Leia and Han Solo are married and expecting Jedi Twins. And Luke Skywalker has become the first in a long-awaited line of Jedi Knights. But thousand of light-years away, the last of the emperor's warlords has taken command of the shattered Imperial Fleet, readied it for war, and pointed it at the fragile heart of the new Republic. For this dark warrior has made two vital discoveries that could destroy everything the courageous men and women of the Rebel Alliance fought so hard to build. The explosive confrontation that results is a towering epic of action, invention, mystery, and spectacle on a galactic scale--in short, a story worthy of the name Star Wars.

Dan Brown: The Da Vinci Code (3 af 6)

2006-03-03T15:46:00.000+01:00

While in Paris on business, Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon receives an urgent late-night phone call: the elderly curator of the Louvre has been murdered inside the museum. Near the body, police have found a baffling cipher. While working to solve the enigmatic riddle, Langdon is stunned to discover it leads to a trail of clues hidden in the works of Da Vinci -- clues visible for all to see -- yet ingeniously disguised by the painter.

Langdon joins forces with a gifted French cryptologist, Sophie Neveu, and learns the late curator was involved in the Priory of Sion -- an actual secret society whose members included Sir Isaac Newton, Botticelli, Victor Hugo, and Da Vinci, among others.

In a breathless race through Paris, London, and beyond, Langdon and Neveu match wits with a faceless powerbroker who seems to anticipate their every move. Unless Langdon and Neveu can decipher the labyrinthine puzzle in time, the Priory's ancient secret -- and an explosive historical truth -- will be lost forever.

In an exhilarating blend of relentless adventure, scholarly intrigue, and cutting wit, symbologist Robert Langdon (first introduced in Dan Brown's bestselling Angels & Demons) is the most original character to appear in years. THE DA VINCI CODE heralds the arrival of a new breed of lightening-paced, intelligent thriller…surprising at every twist, absorbing at every turn, and in the end, utterly unpredictable…right up to its astonishing conclusion.
