Wilchemy, that's called "Rating of Percieved Effort"
True PE is normally done in the absence of an HRM. However, the tendency to receive feedback from the body rather than/in tandem with an HRM borders on the same. The difference is that a quick glance at the HRM provides an instant validation of PE: ie you can't cheat/hide.

The Thread about Nothing....
Wilchemy, that's called "Rating of Percieved Effort" and there was an article about it in one of the cycling mags recently (I think it was Bicycling Australia) - will chase it up and let you know which one, if you're interested.
But right now, I'm off to watch some violence and adult themes on SBS. :D
Agreed the HRM is great for training, esp on the trainer ( gives somthing to watch instead of falling asleep) but i nearly always race by RPE, esp on the MTB ( ive finised 1 + hour MTB raced with the HR ave of 185+) which if id ben watching it the whole race would have put me off ( i had it turned on but a piece of electrical tape over the screen at the time) i used it in a MTB race about 3 months ago and turned it off half way through the 1st lap cause it was putting me off.
On road races, i use it to pass the time as a cursory thing to see how things are going and if im starting to cool off which has happend while tagging along at the back of a paceline. the only time ive really used in a RR was last time out at calga when i went for the big break off the front and watched it to make sure MY HR was as high as i could get it all the way to the line and hence not slacking off.

You may have seen an email floating around about making huge amounts of money through your Paypal account? Whether you have or not, i'm sending you this to tell you that the scheme actually works and Paypal have actually admitted its legal!
Please read on and see what you think. If you want to participate, please just copy this email, replace my message with your own and send it to all your contacts - *YOU CAN GATHER ALL PAST CONTACTS EMAIL ADDRESSES THROUGH YOUR PAYPAL ACCOUNT HISTORY*.
Before we go any further I would like you to know straight away that this will cost you £3 and about 20 - 30 minutes of your time. If you are still interested please read on.
Now I am not promising that you are going to make £££££'s in 30 days but I must admit the odds look excellent, and the 2nd excellent thing about this business plan is that it can be done by anyone, anywhere in the world and your total investment stays at just £3.
These are some of the emails and proof that I came across which finally made me decide that I wanted to try this.
"What an amazing plan. I followed the instructions just 3 weeks ago, and although I haven't made 10 grand yet, I am already up to £6,135. I am absolutely gob smacked" - Alan Humphries, Leicester
"Well what can I say? I sent out 40 emails like the plan said then I just forgot about the whole thing. To be honest, I didn't really think anything would come of it, but I checked my Paypal account a week later and there was over £3000.00 in it!!! After 30 days I now have over £11,000 to spend" - Lisa McDonald, Northampton
"I was shocked when I saw how much money came flooding into my Paypal account. Within 3 weeks my account balance has ballooned to £7,449. At first I thought there had been some kind of error!" - Richard Barrie, Cirencester
Well that's it. I hope that you decide to go ahead with it. If you decide that this isn't for you I wish you all the best in the future and please remember you can always pass it on even if you don't wish to do it yourself.
INSTRUCTIONS
the first thing you need to do is send a £3.00 payment from your Paypal account to the FIRST email address in the list below, along with a note saying "PLEASE ADD ME TO YOUR LIST". Instructions on how to send a payment are under "SEND MONEY" at the Paypal site. It is very easy.
The current list is:
1. philip@philiplaw.co.uk
2. manfieldgrange@yahoo.co.uk
3. cindym@onetel.com
4. rimaalisha@hotmail.co.uk
5. tashanaka@yahoo.com
The last thing you need to do is copy and paste this page (and make any necessary changes) Remove the email address from the number 1 spot,move all the others up a space,and insert your own email address in the number 5 spot Then send the page to as many people as you can,a good way is to send it to all the people in your paypal history. (N.B. You should see the email address of the person who sent you this at the number 5 slot. If it's any further up the list, someone has cheated and may only receive a few pounds) You may also wish to advertise this on message boards,auction sites etc In no time at all,you should have reached the number 1 spot and the money will start coming to your paypal account !!!!!!
ALL I WOULD LIKE TO DO NOW IS WISH YOU GOOD LUCK
Send £3.00 payment here and get the £ ball rolling
IF YOU ARE STILL UNSURE OR EVEN IF YOU WOULD JUST LIKE TO KNOW HOW THIS WORKS PLEASE READ ON
HERE'S HOW IT WORKS
When you send out your email, your email address will initially be at No 5 on the list. That is the best position that you can be in if you want to earn serious money. The response rate for this program is much higher than any typical email marketing campaign for a number of reasons, which are explained later on. As long as you send out your emails to people whom are likely to be interested in this program, then on average you can expect a response of around 25%. But let's be extremely conservative and assume that the average response rate is 12.5%!
If you send out your 40 emails, you can expect at least 5 of those people to do exactly what you did (12.5% of 40 = 5 people). By the time your email address will have moved up to No 4 in the list, and this list will now have reached around 200 people (5 people x 40 emails = 200 people).
Out of those 200 people, you can expect at least 25 of them to participate (12.5% of 200 = 25 people) so you are now reaching around 1000 people (25 people x 40 emails = 1000) and you are now at No 3 on the list.
Out of those 1000 people, you can expect at least 125 of them to participate (12.5% of 1000 = 125 people) so you are now reaching around 5000 people (125 people x 40 emails = 5000) and you are now at No 2 on the list.
Out of those 5000 people, you can expect at least 625 of them to participate (12.5% of 5000 = 625 people) so you are now reaching around 25000 people (625 people x 40 emails = 25000) and you are now at No 1 on the list.
Out of 25000 people, you can expect at least 3125 of them to participate (12.5% of 25000 = 3125 people) so since you are at the No 1 spot you can expect to receive around about £9,375 (3125 people x £3.00 = £9,375)
So when your name hit's the No 1 spot, it will be YOUR turn to collect the money.
Over the course of 30 days, this money will be sent to you by a few thousand people just like yourself, who are willing to invest £3.00 and 20 minutes of their time to receive around £10,000 or more in cash. The first payments will arrive within a few days and then they will continue at the rate of about 100 payments per day for about 30 days (obviously this will depend on how quickly you act and how quickly people take you up on this offer and then pass it on). After that time, the volume of payments begin to taper off as your email is removed from the No 1 position.
That's all you need to do! There will be around £10,000 in £3.00 payments waiting for you in your Paypal account within the next few weeks. £10,000 for just 30 minutes work! This is real money that you can spend on anything you wish! Just deposit it to your own bank account or spend it directly from your Paypal account!!! It's just that easy!!! I think it's WORTH IT, don't you?
Remember, the 12.5% example above is assuming that 35 out of the 40 people you send your email to will do absolutely nothing except delete your email. However, if you follow the plan correctly and send your emails only to people who are likely to want to participate, you can expect a typical response-rate of around 25%. Hence, the 12.5% example is only given as a worst-case-scenario. Additionally, the above example assumes that each participant will only send out 40 emails. Imagine what would happen if each participant sent out 1,000 emails instead of just 40! Believe me, many people will do this and much more!
Unlike many other MLM programs, this 5-LEVEL PROGRAM costs you only £3.00 which is much more realistic and provides much, much faster results.
Only the first person on the list gets your £3.00/$5.00 gift, but everyone in the list will rise to that Number 1 position as thousands of emails are being sent out. No cheating can occur (don't be fooled by claims that this system can be cheated) as Paypal only allows one account per person. Because it is so easy, the response rate is VERY HIGH and VERY FAST - Internet email FAST, and you will start seeing dramatic results in less than one week! JUST IN TIME FOR NEXT MONTHS BILLS!
Thank you, and good luck in your ventures Ps . You can download your paypal history as a MS Excel file, this is a great way to quickly access all your stored email address's from your paypal transactions, to send this email on to others

I'm actually a little afraid to report spam just in case 1)The 'Powers That Be' decide that actually I'm Spam, and 2) They take away our ability so say bum, poo, shit, wanker and arse.

Funny how it took me about 3 nanoseconds to hit the spam button.
I did a search on Ericsson the other day and got a bucketload of spam listings all over the place - even in the main announcements section!!

according to tashanaka at least 12.5% of the population (an extremely conservative estimate) will be duped by this scam

Nah, not a big fan of Dickens. "The Accursed Kings" on SBS was pretty good if you don't mind subtitles. (they lied about the adult themes, though :( )
Why no science programs? Is it because a lot of the stuff is dumbed down to make it more palatable to the general viewing audience? Theoretical physics can be fun from a purely philosophical point of view, well according to hubby anyway, who is right into this stuff. Dunno why, but it makes my eyes glaze over.
