We all know the feeling: you park your car on the side of the gravel road, bushwack to some boulders, a hot spring or a fishing spot and end up returning to your car along an alternative route – or at least trying to return. The road itself may be easy to find, but which way is the car? Using Points of interest on your Ambit will help you find your destination.
Points of interest, or POIs, are pre-defined destinations stored on your Suunto Ambit. With the watch's GPS navigation you can navigate to all those POIs.
Suunto Ambit allows you to save your current location or define a location as a POI. You can navigate to a saved POI anytime, for example, during your exercise.
You can come up with many uses for POI's. You can create those for destinations you want to reach, like the mountain hut on your ski touring trip, or points you pass, like an equipment-stash you have left behind. POIs are useful in an urban environment, too. Just create a POI for your car when you park it in an area you are not familiar with or mark the great coffee shop you want to stop by while in town.
You can select a POI type (icon) and POI name from a pre-defined list, or freely name the POIs in Movescount.
To save a location as a POI:
- Press [Start Stop] to enter the start menu.
- Scroll to NAVIGATION using [Start Stop] and enter with [Next].
- Press [Next] to select Location.
- Select CURRENT or DEFINE to manually change longitude and latitude values.
- Press [Start Stop] to save the location.
- Select a suitable POI type for the location. Scroll through the POI types with [Start Stop] or [Light Lock]. Select a POI type with [Next].
- Select a suitable name for the location. Scroll through the name options with [Start Stop] or [Light Lock]. Select a name with [Next].
- Press [Start Stop] to save the POI.
TIP: You can create POIs in Movescount by selecting a location on a map or inserting the coordinates. POIs in your Suunto Ambit and in Movescount are synchronized when you connect the watch to Movescount.
To navigate to a POI:
- Press [Start Stop] to enter the start menu.
- Scroll to NAVIGATION using [Start Stop] and enter with [Next].
- Scroll to POIs (Points of interest) using [Light Lock] and select with [Next].
The watch displays the number of saved POIs and free space available for new POIs.
- Scroll to the POI you wish to navigate to with [Start Stop] or [Light Lock] and select with [Next].
- Press [Next] to select Navigate.
After activating the compass, the watch starts searching for a GPS signal and displays GPS found after acquiring the signal. If you are using the compass for the first time, you need to calibrate it.
- Start navigating to the POI. The watch displays an indicator showing the direction to your target and your distance from the target.
- The watch informs you that you have arrived at your target.
Image 1
When stationary or moving slowly (<4 km/h), the watch shows you the direction to the POI (or waypoint if navigating a route) based on the compass bearing. (See image 1 above)
Image 2
While moving (>4 km/h), the watch shows you the direction to the POI (or waypoint if navigating a route) based on GPS. The direction to your target, or bearing, is shown with the empty triangle. Your direction of travel, or heading, is indicated by the solid lines at the top of the display. Aligning these two ensures you are moving in the correct direction. (See image 2 above)

No longer will the word "robotic" refer to stiff, slow movements. We'll soon have 'bots that can pull a Miyagi and snatch a housefly out of the air with chopsticks, or, better yet, Robot Mixed Martial Arts Cage Matches! Robots are developing super-flexible physiologies thanks to current research into biomechanics, which suggest that artificial muscles work best when made to imitate a toad's tongue or a human ankle.
Most robot "muscles" are actually motors, but to create more human-like movement, we need to use spring tension. Muscles do their work by shortening, not by rotating. Toads and chameleons can fire their tongues out to catch prey at amazing speed, producing force 700 times the animal's weight (watch some amazing video of this here). If we could make a robotic version, that would be one hell of a robo-crane kick.
Researchers like Professor Kiisa Nishikawa (pictured with a cane toad) at Northern Arizona University are studying animal muscles to try and improve prosthetic limbs for humans and to create more powerful and efficient mechanical devices. We're just waiting for the day when our robots can say:
01111001 01101111 01110101 01110010 00100000 01101011 01100001 01110010 01100001 01110100 01100101 00100111 01110011 00100000 01110011 01101000 01101001 01110100

UNESCO's newest World Heritage Sites
By Katia Hetter, CNN • Updated 23rd June 2014
View Gallery
20 Pictures
To explore a site inscribed on UNESCO's World Heritage List is to see a place of outstanding universal value.
And with more natural and cultural wonders
added to the prestigious preservation list
over the last few days, there are now more than 1,000 sites to visit all over the world.
The UNESCO World Heritage Committee has been considering new sites at a meeting in Qatar since June 15.
New World Heritage Sites include the earthen remains of a Louisiana civilization dating back to 3700 B.C., Myanmar's Pyu ancient cities (Myanmar's first-ever site), and evidence of the end of the age of dinosaurs at the cliffs of Stevns Klint in Denmark.
Trading routes that crossed modern borders across South America and Asia were also inscribed on the list. The Qhapac Nan, the Andean road system, runs through Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru. A 5,000-kilometer section of the Silk Roads known as the routes network of Chang'an-Tianshan Corridor crosses through China, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan.
In addition to being of "outstanding universal value," an inscribed site must also meet at least
one of 10 criteria
such as "representing a masterpiece of human creative genius," containing "exceptional natural beauty" or being an outstanding example of a traditional human settlement.
Other new sites include the Okavango Delta (Botswana); the Grotte Chauvet-Pont d'Arc (France); Rani-ki-Vav (India); Caves of Maresha and Bet Guvrin in the Judean Lowlands (Israel); the vineyard landscape of Piedmont: Langhe-Roero and Monferrato (Italy); Namhansanseong emergency capital city (South Korea); and Saudi Arabia's historic Jedda, the Gate to Makkah.
UNESCO has been gradually adding to the World Heritage List since 1978.

Sites in danger
The West Bank village of Battir
, a few miles outside Bethlehem, was named to the World Heritage List, and at the same time, it was added to another UNESCO list for sites in danger.
The hills where Battir's ancient terraces are located date back some 2,000 years to Roman times. Some of the terraces are irrigated for market garden production and others are planted with grapevines and olive trees. The landscape is in danger of being damaged by Israel's plans to build a barrier through the area. The wall "may isolate farmers from fields they have cultivated for centuries," according to a UNESCO press statement.
Australia gets time to keep Great Barrier Reef off endangered list
In addition to Battir, the committee added two other sites to the List of World Heritage in Danger last week. One is Bolivia's city of Potosi, which is threatened by mining operations. Tanzania's Selous Game Reserve was added to the danger list because of widespread poaching that has caused a serious decline in the wildlife populations there, including a 90% drop in the elephant and rhinoceros populations since 1982.
At the same time, Tanzania's ruins of Kilwa Kisiwani and ruins of Songo Mnara were removed from the danger list due to improved management and safeguards.
Getting on the list
Nations sometimes spend years developing their pitches to qualify for the World Heritage List, and they must convince the UNESCO committee that they will protect their sites and support them financially.

The United States doesn't have much sway over UNESCO decisions anymore. That's because
the U.S. government withdrew its dues and other financial contributions to UNESCO in 2011
after the agency admitted the Palestinian government as a full member representing a country. After failing to pay its dues for two years, the United States lost UNESCO voting rights in 2013 per the agency's rules.

Cognitive Computing | News
Seven universities in the United States have partnered with IBM to launch cognitive computing courses featuring cloud access to the company's Watson computer.
"Cognitive computing systems," such as Watson, "learn and interact naturally with people to extend what either humans or machine could do on their own," according to information on IBM's site. "They help human experts make better decisions by penetrating the complexity of big data."
Universities offering the courses, set to launch in the fall, include Carnegie Mellon University, New York University, Ohio State University, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, University of California at Berkeley, University of Michigan and the University of Texas at Austin.
"Co-designed by the Watson Group and leading academic experts in fields such as artificial intelligence and computer science," according to a news release, "the courses will empower students with the technical knowledge and hands-on learning required to develop new cognitive computing applications fueled by Watson's intelligence."
Classes will first learn about Watson and technologies such as machine learning and natural language processing. Each class will choose an industry, then provide data via the Watson Developer Cloud to train the computer. Eventually, classes will break into groups to develop apps and business plans for the industry selected earlier.
Sections of the course will include Building Ideas for Cognitive Innovation, Fueling Watson's Knowledge with Data, Creating Cognitive Apps in the Cloud and Developing Entrepreneurial Know-How.
To help ensure the success of the classes, IBM will provide support form experts, guest lectures from company executives and thought leaders and Watson technical mentors. The company will also launch the Watson Faculty Advisory Board, comprising representatives from IBM and the seven participating universities.
Citing a forecast from market research firm Gartner that predicts 4.4 million new IT jobs to support big data by next year, an IBM news release says that the courses will help "educate a new generation of innovators who can bring to life this new dynamic of people and machines working together to solve pressing industry and societal challenges."
The courses are just the latest step in a larger effort by IBM "to fuel an ecosystem of innovators who will help make cognitive computing the new standard of computing," according to a news release. Other initiatives include Watson Case Competitions, the release of Watson as an application development platform and the upcoming opening of Watson to corporate developers.
"By putting Watson in the hands of tomorrow's innovators, we are unleashing the creativity of the academic community into a fast-growing ecosystem of partners who are building transformative cognitive computing applications," said Michael Rhodin, senior vice president of IBM's Watson Group, in a prepared statement. "This is how we will make cognitive the new standard of computing across the globe: by inspiring all catalysts of innovation, from university campuses to start-up offices, to take Watson's capabilities and create apps that solve major challenges."
More information about Watson is available at ibm.com.

The Santa Cruz Megatower 29er Mountain Bike 2020 is the bike that Santa Cruz fans have been asking for since the release of the Nomad 4
The Santa Cruz Megatower 29er Mountain Bike 2020 is the bike that Santa Cruz fans have been asking for since the release of the Nomad 4 ("Cool, but where's the 29" version?"); Riders who recognize the benefits of the bigger wheels on their local trails, as well as racers who need something that'll cover ground and smooth out the madness of race courses the world over.
The Megatower has an interesting family tree. You could trace its roots the Hightower, a bike that our own EWS team (Mark Scott and Iago Garay), keen to eke a little more out of the original, raced using links that pushed the travel to 146mm. It was from this demand for more that we developed the Hightower LT, which has an entirely different rear triangle and links to bump it up to a race-rig worthy 150mm. Conversely, the Megatower could be said to be derived from the mighty V10. The lower link-driven VPP suspension that originated from the downhill machine has been migrating through our trail bike range starting with the Nomad and followed by the Bronson last year.
Whichever way you look at it the Megatower is the fusion of big wheels and the biggest-hitting suspension system. The result is a modern day brawler that's suited to globe-trotting, any terrain, nothing-held-back race formats and is the ultimate power-wheeling, fire-breathing sidekick for riders the world over wanting to conquer their hometown trails.

Our handy size charts match your height to the appropriate frame size so you need to be sure you've measured your height accurately.
For most people to get the right frame size, measuring your height will suffice. However, you may find that your height is on the borderline of the range we suggest for a particular frame. If this occurs you need to measure the range of your reach or "Ape Index". This will ensure you get a comfortable distance between the handlebars and your saddle.
You should also consider your inside leg measurement when choosing your bike to ensure adequate stand over height. Stand over height is the clearance between the top tube and the bottom of your crotch. For mountain bikes we recommend a distance of 2-4 inches and for road or hybrid bikes 1-2 inches of clearance is required. This will ensure comfort when you're stopped and standing astride the bike.
Our bike sizing charts take stand over height into consideration but if you have a particularly long or short inside leg measurement in relation to your height you will need to bear this in mind when selecting your frame size.
The way you ride and the type of bike you are into will also impact the frame size you should choose. For example, a trail devotee looking for an aggressive ride may prefer a smaller, more manoeuvrable bike size. It all comes down to personal preference and how the bike feels to you.
Our sizing charts aim to be as specific as possible so you can look up the particular type, make and model of bike you're looking for. Remember, the sizes given in our guides are suggestions and should be used for general advice only. For the best possible fit we recommend popping in to your local Leisure Lakes Bikes store, or call 0800 083 0888 for expert advice tailored to you.

There's a couple of ifs in this next statement. Both fairly big ones. If the Reds can notch their thirteenth home win on the bounce in the league, and if results elsewhere go our way then we could guarantee a top six finish. Whilst we naturally dared to glance at the top two for a while, and may feel some residual disappointment, this would represent a massive achievement for this season.
A sizeable obstacle in our way is, of course, our visitors. They're not on a bad run – and will be in a decent mood after beating fierce rivals Swansea City yesterday. They are only three points behind us, and a winning margin for the Bluebirds by two goals or more would actually see them overtake us in the league on goals scored. So there is something immediate to play for, for sure!
The Reds are without, as ever, Julian Bennett and Paul McKenna to long term injuries – and Robbie Earnshaw and Paul Anderson are listed as doubts with back and Achilles injuries respectively. Both missed yesterday's trip to Bristol City, where Billy shuffled the pack which I expect him to do again. Certainly I expect to see Blackstock start, as for what else he opts for, I wouldn't like to second-guess. I imagine he will have half an eye on the 13 game unbeaten run, and half an eye on not risking too much for probable playoff appearances.
Our visitors have a few injury concerns too, McNaughton, Hudson and Gypes are unavailable. We will need to watch out for their – and the league's – leading scorer, and one-time Forest target Peter Whittingham. I hadn't realised this, but apparently we haven't beaten Cardiff for 34 years – it was back in 1976 we last did so with a 3-0 win at Ninian Park. So a win over 'em is pretty overdue I'm thinking!
They're unbeaten in their last six – and five of those were wins, although there's been a glut of four home games in the mix there. Of their last few away games, wins over Coventry and Crystal Palace are tempered with defeats at Ipswich, Leicester, Preston and Barnsley. Of course, the wins came in the more recent games so they're unquestionable a side to be taken seriously!
On paper it should be an open free-flowing game between two attack-minded teams – which makes the cynic in me start to predict a scoreless draw. Which wouldn't be so bad I suppose, although I would like to get that thirteenth home win on the bounce, as I'm sure Billy and the boys will be wanting to – the sooner we can secure our place in the playoff lottery the better our planning can be.

Maybe you've just decided to become vegan, or you are new in town or just looking for new places to eat and explore. Luckily Melbourne is full of delicious, healthy and convenient vegan options, as long as you know where to look.
I've reviewed all my favourite vegan and raw food goodies in Melbourne (with a little help from my friends). Be warned, this list is very Jo-centric, dessert takes center stage, most of the places are in Fitzroy or the inner city, and it's not a comprehensive guide by any means. It's a just a collection of the places and dishes i love to eat, gathered in my 13 or so years of Melbourne Vegan living. The places i that i get excited about and tell my friends about, the kind of places where the food is so good, it makes you want to take out your phone and take a photo of the dish and most of all the places i'd want to know about if i was just starting out of this vegan eating journey...
Like where to go for brunch, the best sweet, savoury, and the cutest vegan places to eat out. Plus my favourite breakfasty things to eat at home.
The best places for Lunch and dinner in Fitzroy, the Healthiest, For when you are really hungry, when you want to go somewhere with friends and some options when you are out with friends who eat meat.
Where to go for city lunches and late night munchies, and my favourite Japanese and Mexcian options.
For home cooking i've listed my favourite recipes, vegan blogs, cookbooks and places to shop.
Feel free to comment with your own favourite recipes, reviews and vegan insights- i'd love to hear from you!

Here are some brief quotes from the CIA's World Factbook: School life expectancy (primary to tertiary education): total: 8 years male: 8 years female: 8 years (2007) Unemployment rate: 30% (2008 est.) country comparison to the world: 179 20% (2004 est.) Population below poverty line: 40% (2004 est.) tier rating: Tier 3 - the Government of Mauritania does not fully comply with the minimum standards for the elimination of trafficking and is not making significant efforts to do so; the government acknowledges that some forms of trafficking are a problem in the country, and during the year, it created a multi-stakeholder body to lead its efforts related to child trafficking, child smuggling, and child labor; hereditary slavery was officially outlawed in 2007, but many officials do not recognize that the practice continues despite its prohibition; the government did not take proactive measures to identify trafficking victims or provide them with protective services, and it continued to jail individuals in prostitution and detain illegal migrants without screening either population for trafficking victims (2009) Back to top TT-KiraJoined: 04 Mar 2008Posts: 62 Posted: Sun Jul 08, 2012 11:42 am Post subject: Having been to Mauritania I would be very surprised if there was a large enough market to warrant any type of EFL operation. Mauri has two main towns, Nouabidhou on the W.Saharan border which is a dusty trading town & at Kosando there's the port operations for the iron ore mine. Then further south on the coast is the capital Nouakchott which isn't that big either. The 'real' Mauritanian population is small, however the country has a lot of sub-Saharan Africans working there - usually to make money so they can pay for a treacherous clandestine trip towards the Canary Islands which often leads to fatalities. It's a big country of sand, some stunning scenery but no real 'need' for EFL, most tourists in the past have been French. Many large businesses are French owned with the exception of some mining operations. So, sorry - I very much doubt you'll find much of consequence on a long-term basis!

Americans theoretically have something like a one-in-fifty shot of getting a job as a generalist, but that depends considerably on your knowledge, experience, and people skills. And if you apply as a specialist (if you have an MA they have ESL positions), I hear it's considerably less competitive, particularly for the "hardship postings" that seem to fascinate an odd number of TEFLers. I'm planning on attempting to make the transition (soon as my Turkish is good enough to get the language bonus) and know other Americans who are thinking the same. I expect EFL time in foreign countries, particularly in "hardship postings" (which includes places like Turkey, Greece, and Mexico) is a plus in the experience column. Of course even if I got a job with the State Dept I personally wouldn't want to work in Mauritania. I dislike hot climates and have this weird bias against socially regressive, fanatically religious dictatorships. ~Q Back to top cartagoJoined: 19 Oct 2005Posts: 283Location: Iraq Posted: Tue Dec 25, 2012 12:55 pm Post subject: I do recall a place that was advertising for EFL teachers in Mauritania some years ago but I don't remember the name, just do a google search.

Scope and Content
The papers, which consist of letters, memoranda, clippings, photographs and reports, are the office files kept by Theophilius Eugene "Bull" Connor during his last five years as Commissioner of Public Safety. The papers from Connor's earlier years in office have not been found and are assumed destroyed. The filing system and file headings used by Connor's office have been maintained. In some cases material from different years was filed together. Files indicated as "empty" came to the archives empty.
He remained Public Safety Commissioner until 1954, and held the position again from 1958 to 1963 when he was forced from office by a change in the form of city government. During his long political career Connor ran two unsuccessful campaigns for governor of Alabama and was a leader of the 1948 Dixiecrat revolt. From 1964 to 1973 he served as President of the Alabama Public Service Commission, the state agency that regulates public utilities. Connor died in Birmingham in 1973.
"Bull" Connor is most famous for his staunch defense of racial segregation and for ordering the use of police dogs and fire hoses to disperse civil rights demonstrators in Birmingham during the spring of 1963.

Author(s): Gerri Chanel
In late August 1939, as war loomed over Europe, curators at the Louvre nestled the world's most famous painting into a special red velvet-lined case and spirited her away to the Loire Valley. Thus began the biggest evacuation of art and antiquities in history. A small army of workers swiftly emptied the Louvre's cavernous galleries of all but the most cumbersome and fragile pieces and tucked away the displaced treasures in the chateaux of the Loire countryside. As the Germans neared Paris in 1940, the French raced to move the masterpieces still further south, then again and again during the war, crisscrossing the southwest of France. At times, Mona Lisa slept at the bedside of curators who were painfully aware of their heavy responsibility. Throughout the German occupation, the Louvre's staff fought to keep the priceless treasures out of the hands of Hitler and his henchmen and to keep the Louvre palace safe, many of them risking their jobs and their lives to protect the country's artistic heritage. Saving Mona Lisa is the sweeping, suspenseful narrative of their battle. Superbly researched and accompanied by riveting photographs of the period, it is a compelling story of art and beauty, intrigue and ingenuity, and remarkable moral courage in the face of one of the most fearful enemies in history.

A 20-year-old Tennessee man has been indicted for hacking into an e-mail account of U.S. vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, according to court records.
David C. Kernell was indicted Tuesday on a single charge of accessing a protected computer by a grand jury in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee in Knoxville. The indictment, which carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison and a US$250,000 fine, was unsealed Wednesday, the U.S. Department of Justice said.
Kernell, from Knoxville, turned himself into law enforcement authorities on Wednesday and was released the same day after pleading not guilty at his arraignment. His trial is set for Dec. 16, according to a statement from his attorney, Wade Davies.
David Kernell is the son of Mike Kernell, a Democratic state representative from Memphis.
The three-page indictment alleges that Kernell gained access to a Yahoo e-mail account used by Palin, the Republican governor of Alaska, on about Sept. 16. Palin was named Senator John McCain's vice-presidential running mate in August.
The next day, Wikileaks.org published several screen shots of Yahoo e-mail messages, e-mail addresses of Palin family members and associates, and other data that hackers claimed to have obtained from Palin's private account.
A hacking group known as Anonymous claimed to have gained access to Palin's firstname.lastname@example.com account and sent the information to Wikileaks, which acts as an anonymous clearinghouse for leaked documents.
"Governor Palin has come under criticism for using private email accounts to conduct government business and in the process avoid transparency laws," Wikileaks wrote in a note accompanying the material. "The list of correspondence, together with the account name, appears to re-enforce the criticism."
Bloggers had fingered Kernell as a suspect after linking him to the online name "rubico," used by the hacker who claimed to have accessed Palin's Yahoo account. Rubico claimed to have accessed the account by using Yahoo's password reset feature and answering security questions with publicly available information, and the indictment supports that claim. He guessed correctly that Palin had met her husband at Wasilla High.
The indictment alleges that Kernell posted screenshots of Palin's e-mail messages, e-mail addresses of her family members, pictures of her family and at least one mobile phone number to the 4chan.org Web site. It's unclear in the indictment how the information came to Wikileaks from 4chan.org, an image-based bulletin board.
Another person also reset the account's password and was able to access Palin's e-mail account, the indictment said.
According to a report in the Knoxville News Sentinel, Kernell was released on the condition that he stay away from computers. He is also barred from leaving east Tennessee without the permission of his parole officer.
When U.S. Magistrate Judge C. Clifford Shirley told him not to discuss the case with any potential witnesses, Kernell asked if that included his girlfriend too.

Gov. Rick Perry's wife, Anita, gave a more nuanced answer on abortion than we typically hear from her husband at the Texas Tribune Festival.
As reported by the Texas Tribune's Emily Ramshaw, Texas' first lady said in an interview with Trib co-founder and executive editor Evan Smith that she doesn't disagree with Gov. Perry on the issue but:
–"That could be a woman's right, just like it's a man's right if he wants to have some kind of procedure,"
–Whileshe doesn't agree with it, "the older I get, there are two sides of every nickel."
–"God made us our own individuals, and I can believe, you can believe, what you want to believe."
I arrived at the forum late, leaving another one when people started tweeting about Anita Perry's abortion comments, quoting her as saying it's a woman's right to choose.
Asked again about the issue, she said: "Under the law in the state of Texas, you can have an abortion up to 20 weeks."
As to whether she holds with the governor's view that women shouldn't have the right to choose, Anita Perry said, "I'm going to support my husband on that …We have laws in this state that regulate that. I am going to support him on that."
Perry opposes abortions even in cases of rape or incest, a tightening of his already strong position against the procedure that came while he was running for president.

Hopefully this will be my last words on the disgraceful incident involving the arrest, removal and detention of Cindy Sheehan, who gave the life of her child in defense of this country, just prior to Tuesday's State of the Union address.
This latest canary-in-the-coalmine story made the front page of WaPo today, and reveals quite clearly both the Media's and at least one Republican's bias against those who do not agree with the George W. Bush Administration...As well as the disregard for our Constitutional Freedom of Speech. At least by the Republican.
The WaPo article, written by Petula Dvorak, first reveals the pro-administration media bias and/or their consistent inability to fairly report on an unfair situation. Note this early graf:
In other words it's implied here that Beverly Young, the wife of Congressman Bill Young (R-FL), who was removed from gallery at some point during Bush's speech wasn't arrested because, unlike Sheehan, it didn't come to that. Mrs. Young must have been polite (she wasn't) requiring no arrest, while Sheehan must have been unruly (she wasn't) requiring arrest and hours of detention.
The fact of the matter, however, as clearly explained later in the article, is that Mrs. Young was never threatened with arrest at all, unlike Sheehan who was frog-marched out of the chamber and handcuffed from the get-go. And that was even with Sheehan being polite in every respect, by all accounts of the story, while Young was abusive towards the cops, calling them "idiots" (that night, and even later after their eventually apology) and, as WaPo points out, "Witnesses said her words for him were much saltier the night before."
As I mentioned yesterday in my article on "Cindy Sheehan's Unequal Treatment Under the Law", the Wingnuts who've been busy trying to equate Sheehan's treatment with Young's ("They were both asked to leave, so clearly there's no political bias here!" say the apologists) have also overlooked the fact that Young was asked to leave much later. After the cops already had an embarrassing situation on their hands. As WaPo reported...
She said she angrily challenged officers to explain what law she had violated, and they threatened arrest.
She said an officer mentioned that Sheehan was removed earlier and therefore "it was kind of only fair" that she be asked to leave, too.
It's clear that Mrs. Young would have been left alone with her "Support the Troops" T-shirt and would not have been asked to leave, had not the cops already had the Sheehan situation on their hands, and needed to cover their asses.
Finally then, it's revealed in the story that the hypocritical Congressman Young himself would likely not have said a word about Sheehan's treatment (which was much worse than his wife's) had his wife not been asked to leave. He admits as much:
So the woman actually arrested, detained, and perhaps even "roughed up" was no problem for Young's "standards" because he "totally disagree[s] with everything she stands for."
Welcome to the amazingly slipperly slope...as it gets still slipperier and slopier every damn day in this country.
Still unclear? See how Judge Anthony Napolitano --- who defended Sheehan on Fox News, ostensibly, once it became clear she broke no rules or laws --- reportedly contrasted Young's T-shirt with Sheehan's. Young's, said Napolitano, in regard to the "Support the Troops" T-shirt, was "a Republican T-shirt."
Fox happily took up the meme on their website:
The "opposite message"?!
It's a dangerous fucking line we're crossing here in America 2006. Pay attention.
ALSO... It's not just the MSM who get the story wrong in their rush for political points. Blogger Glenn Greenwald reports on tons of Wingnut bloggers who couldn't wait to lie about the Sheehan story to their readers...and then refuse to correct themselves after it was proven how incredibly wrong they were.

We welcome you to the Canberra Declaration community in the Name of Jesus. Together we can take a stand for the future of our nation and our children.
In thinking about new believers growing in their faith, the apostle Paul wrote, "I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God made it grow. So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who makes things grow" (1 Corinthians 3:6,7).
Our prayer is that God will grow a strong and vibrant community of Australian Christians who will rise up and take a stand. The many challenges we face in Australia today need believers who will pray and act and step out in faith.
If we compare our community with a new forest of trees, we can plant and water the trees but it is God who makes it grow!

TurboSpoke Bicycle Exhaust System
Make your bike look and sound like a motorcycle!
You may also like:
Make nearly any bicycle look and sound like a growling motorbike with the TurboSpoke Bicycle Exhaust System.
With installation taking less than five minutes, the TurboSpoke utilizes durable "Motocards" and an effective clamping and amplification system to make your bike roar like a four stroke engine.
Each TurboSpoke comes equipped with three waterproof Motocards, which each produce a different engine sound when struck by the spokes of your bicycle. The lightweight and durable exhaust "pipe" acts like a horn to increase the volume produced by the Motocard.
Includes 15 stickers to decorate the TurboSpoke. Installation requires an allen wrench which is included. Motocard refill packs are available.
Features & specs
- Fits on 95% of all bikes
- Minimum wheel size: 16"
- Maximum frame diameter: 1.5"
- Includes 3 "Motocards" which each create a different sound
- Durable Motocards are waterproof
- Plastic exhaust is lightweight, durable
- Installs in 5 minutes
- Includes all tools required for installation
- Ages 6+
Turn your bike into a motorbike in under 5 minutes!
The TurboSpoke Bicycle Exhaust System is like strapping a dirt bike engine onto the back of your bicycle.
Forget the pitter patter of clothespins and baseball cards. The TurboSpoke makes your bike roar and growl like a four stroke engine.
Step 1: Attach the clamp
To install the TurboSpoke, begin by placing the clamp onto the frame of your bicycle on the side opposite of the chain. Spacers are included with the TurboSpoke to accommodate frames of different diameters up to 1.5 inches.
Position the clamp so that the pedal will not strike it when turned. You will then tighten the clamp using two sets of nuts and bolts (included, of course). Use the included allen wrench to tighten.
Step 2: Choose a motocard and insert it
After attaching the clamp, choose one of the three included Motocards and slide it into the clamp. Secure it using the yellow retaining pin. This ensures that the card never comes loose no matter how hard you're pedaling.
Motocards are also sold in a 3-pack of refills. The refill pack contains one each of the same three Motocards that are included with your original TurboSpoke purchase.
Step 3: Insert the exhaust pipe
The final step is to insert the exhaust into the clamp. You're done! Now go make some noise.
Choose from three different "engines"
Every TurboSpoke includes three ultra-durable and waterproof Motocards.
Each Motocard features a different sound. They range from the swarming bee sound of a two stroke engine (blue card) to the deep growling snarl of a four stroke (red card). The yellow card sits somewhere nicely in between.
The Motocards included with your TurboSpoke are super durable and should last you a long time. But, if they start to suffer from wear and tear due to your savage biking skills, we do have refill packs available.
No batteries required
The TurboSpoke system, similar to using trading cards and a clothespin, is "pedal powered". However, that's about where the comparison ends.
The TurboSpoke is orders of magnitude louder and looks infinitely cooler. The Turbospoke is to the baseball card as the smartphone is to a pair of cans and a string. They both transmit sound, but they're really not in the same league.
Seriously, it's loud
The TurboSpoke is loud. It will probably annoy your neighbors. And we think that's exactly the point.
The exhaust pipe, which acts like a horn, is made from plastic. This means it's lightweight, and most importantly, durable enough to withstand the punishment of being affixed to a kid's bike.
Decorate your TurboSpoke with included sticker set
A set of 15 stickers is included so that you can decorate the exhaust of your TurboSpoke for a customized look.
Everything included, even the allen wrench
The TurboSpoke is ready to install right out of the box. Every item you'll need is included.
Here's a breakdown of what is included: (1) Plastic exhaust, (2) Set of 15 custom stickers, (3) Motocards, (4) Rubber spacers, (5) Plastic spacer, (6) Clamp, (7) Plastic retaining pin, (8) Nuts and bolts, (9) Allen Wrench.
