How to master bike-to-run with Chris Froome

What did our quantitative research reveal? Well we asked cyclists, how does cycle insurance compare in their opinion to a home policy? 80% of cyclists thought cycle insurance was expensive compared to home insurance. However 72% of cyclists were aware their home insurance didn't provide complete cover for their bikes. A very high percentage (82%) of cyclists were uneasy about the way they insured their bicycles and in an ideal world would rather pay a little extra to have peace of mind. 38% had no form of insurance at all and 68% have thought about getting cycle insurance.
Of those surveyed 30% had purchased British Cycling membership partly to supplement their home insurance, but mainly because they raced or aspired to. What was surprising is that only 7% of respondents had properly read the policy associated with the British Cycling license and understood the limitations of the cover offered with British Cycling gold membership. Very few respondents realised British Cycling does not cover you for unaffiliated races such as triathlon and even less realised that British Cycling excludes one member claiming against another in a cycling competition, race, time trial or timed event (This ultimately means, if you cause an injury to a fellow British Cycling member in a race you aren't covered read British Cycling's website here). Finally over half (56%) of respondents were under the illusion British Cycling membership offered protection for accidental damage to their bike, which isn't the case.
Have you taken the time to compare cycle insurance cover on home insurance and check it gives you adequate cover? This topic was so big we had to write a blog CYCLE COVER ON HOME INSURANCE, IS IT UP TO SCRATCH?. In this blog we take the opportunity to compare cycle insurance with home insurance and compare the main differences between cycle cover provided on a home insurance and a Yellow Jersey policy.

Yes, absolutely. Active people live active lives, so while the main focus of our cycle travel insurance is cycling, we made sure we also included cover for other sports you might enjoy while on holiday. This was one of the requests that came out of our customer consultations while designing this product.
To view a full list of included sports, click here to see the relevant page on our policy wording.
Our annual travel insurance also includes winter sports cover; so if you enjoy skiing or snowboarding over the winter, you won't need to purchase an additional policy.
You can insure a bicycle you have assembled from parts. You should insure the bike for the full cost of the build;the total cost of the frame and components. If you need to make a claim we will need some form of proof of ownership. This could be receipts for individual components or detailed photographs of the bike prior to making a claim.
For more information, check out our Bike Valuation Blog.

For more information, check out our Bike Valuation Blog.
Non fixed accessories which are not critical to the function of the bicycle should be added to the policy as accessories. The first £250 of the accessory value is covered by the policy as standard.
Please note that fixed accessories will only be covered if stolen or damaged at the same time as the theft or damage of your bike.
For more information, check out our Bike Valuation Blog.
No, if you wish to cover a helmet or clothing for example any specialist triathlon or cycling clothing including wetsuits, eyewear, footwear or headgear you should select either £250 or £500 in cover under the helmet and clothing section.
If you had selected the helmet and clothing cover option when purchasing your policy then you will be covered for your loss up to the sum shown in your schedule. An excess sum of £100 applies.
If your bike doesn't have a serial number you will need to make certain that you are able to provide evidence of ownership in the form of an invoice / receipt and add the reference number in lieu of the serial number.
If you are unable to provide proof of ownership, please get in contact with us, and we will see how we can help.
We are unable to provide refunds on bicycle insurance policies or cycle travel insurance policies after the 14 day cooling down period.
Alongside our annual insurance policies, we also offer short term cover for periods of 5, 10, 17, and 31 days. If you only need bicycle insurance or cycle travel insurance for a specific event, or a period of less than a year, please insure you purchase a short term policy.
In order for your insurance policy to be valid, the premium needs to be paid to our underwriter in full, upfront. While this is fine for a lot of customers, many would prefer to spread the cost over a longer period of time. We allow you to pay your premium as a monthly direct debit by way of a finance agreement with a company called Plan Finance LTD.
Plan Finance pay your premium for you up front, and your direct debit is used to pay them back, plus a charge of approximately 10% which they keep as a fee.
Yellow Jersey provide a premium financing option through Plan Finance Ltd. You may choose either the 1st or 15th of the month as your collection date. You can request to swap between these dates, however you may be required to make a manual payment in the interim.
Yellow Jersey have selected Plan Finance Ltd to provide a premium finance solution to help spread the cost of your annual policy. If you have selected to pay your premium via Direct Debit, Plan Finance Ltd will send you a finance agreement and mandate form which you will need to complete and return to them.
The increase in premium is based on how long you have remaining in your policy, worked out on a pro rata basis. If you add your extend from European only to Worldwide cover 6 months into your policy for example, you will be charged the difference in cost for these two policies, for half a year.
If you have purchased your policy with us on finance, the additional premium will be spread evenly across your remaining direct debit payments. Usually, there will be fewer direct debit payments remaining than months left in the policy.
please visit our Contact Page for more information on making a claim
We are in a unique situation among bicycle insurers in that we handle all of our claims personally, in house.
Most insurance brokers pass their customers off to a separate company operated by their underwriter to handle claims for them. This is fine for things like car or house insurance where claims are usually quite straight forward, but the nuances of cycling make the process very difficult for cycle insurance unless you have a good understanding of Bicycles.
By handling the claims ourselves, we can guarantee a self confessed 'bike nerd' to help you through the claims process.
Our Cycle Travel Insurance claims are managed by a company called Direct Group Travel Services.
If something happens while you are on holiday, it is important that you have someone you can talk to 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We have picked Direct Group Travel to run our travel insurance claims for us because not only can they offer this service, but because they have the track record and experience we can put our trust in.

As three brothers, we have been successfully running our family-owned insurance brokers for 15 years. As active members of the cycling and triathlon community we were frequently asked what the best way to insure bicycles was. We knew that cycle cover on home insurance wasn't always sufficient, but we were never confident recommending any of the existing bicycle insurance policies to friends and family. We wanted a bicycle insurance tailored to those who owned multiple bikes, trained and raced TTs, criteriums and triathlons, or who were looking to take their bikes abroad and nothing like that existed. We thought things could be better, so in 2014 we started Yellow Jersey Cycle Insurance.

SDCC: Marvel's "Doctor Strange" Combats "Death and Pain" in New Trailer
Comic Books, Film
Here's a twenty-question comic book trivia quiz!
Have fun!
Is There A Doctor In The House?
The following 20 names are the aliases of comic book characters whose super hero/super villain names begin with "Doctor." So go name these comic book doctors (you can just name the part after "Doctor" in their names, if you would like, like if I say "Victor Von Doom," you'd say "Doom.")
1. Karl Hellfern
2. Jacob Finlay
3. Joseph Ledger
4. Neal Emerson
5. Charles McNider
6. Albert Desmond
7. Larry Trapp
8. Douglas Birely
9. Edgar Cizko
10. Lester Verde
11. Alex Sartorius
12. Princess Maru
13. Kent Nelson
14. Otto Octavius
15. Kimiyo Hoshi
16. Johann Fennoff
17. Tom Emery
18. Beth Chapel
19. Carolyn Trainer
20. Joshua N'Dingi
Good luck, and have fun!
My goodness that's hard!
13. Dr Fate
14. Dr Octopus
15. Dr Light
5. Dr. Midnite
6. Dr. Alchemy
11. Dr. Phosphorus (thank god for that fill-in in Tec)
13. Dr. Fate
14. Dr. Octopus
15. Dr. Light
18. Dr. Midnight
5. Charles McNider – Md. Mid-Nite
11. Alex Sartorius – Dr. Phosphorus
13. Kent Nelson – Dr. Fate
14. Otto Octavius – Dr. Octopus
3. Dr. Spectrum
4. Dr. Polaris
5. Dr. Mid-Nite
9. Dr. Psycho
11. Dr. Phosphorus
13. Dr. Fate
14. Dr. Light 2
15. Dr. Octopus 1
18. Dr. Midnight
19. Dr. Octopus 2
3. Dr Spectrum
4. Dr Polaris
5. Dr. Mid-nite
9. Dr Psycho
13. Dr Fate
14. Dr Octopus
15. Dr Light
18. Dr Midnight
20. Doctor Croc
1. Doctor Death
2. Doctor Light
6. Doctor Alchemy
7. Doctor Trapps (clever, that.)
10. Doctor Bong
12. Doctor Poison
16. Doctor Faustus
17. Doctor Spectro
Also, how many of them are actual doctors. I know Doom at least is a college dropout, and neither Dr. Light is actually a doctor to my knowledge. Octavius is though, right?
Both Dr. Midnights were "actual" doctors (actually all three are, but I don't think the current one's on this list). Doctor Psycho (what a name!) was a psychiatrist, no? And Doctor Light 2 is a scientist, so it's probably safe to assume she's got a PhD, though she's not a medical doctor.
3. Joseph Ledger — Dr. Spectrum
4. Neal Emerson — Dr. Polaris
5. Charles McNider — Dr. Midnight
11. Alex Sartorius — Dr. Phosphorous
13. Kent Nelson — Dr. Fate
14. Otto Octavius — Dr. Octopus
15. Kimiyo Hoshi — Dr. Light
18. Beth Chapel — Dr. Spectrum
19. Carolyn Trainer — Dr. Octopus
Wow, I am so going to lose… but here's my crack at it…
5. Dr. Midnight
13. Dr. Fate
14. Dr. Octopus
5. Charles McNider — Mid-Nite
6. Albert Desmond — Alchemy
7. Larry Trapp — Trapp
12. Princess Maru — Poison
13. Kent Nelson — Fate
14. Otto Octavius — Octopus
15. Kimiyo Hoshi — Light
These are the ones I knew without looking them up.
3. Joseph Ledger SPECTRUM
4. Neal Emerson POLARIS
5. Charles McNider MID-NITE
6. Albert Desmond ALCHEMY
8. Douglas Birely DEMONICUS
11. Alex Sartorius PHOSPHORUS
13. Kent Nelson FATE
14. Otto Octavius OCTOPUS
15. Kimiyo Hoshi LIGHT
17. Tom Emery SPECTRO
18. Beth Chapel MIDNIGHT
I had to strectch for #8- I remembered the name Douglas Birely, and associated that with art by Paul Ryan or Dave Ross, which led me to AVENGERS WEST COAST.
My mind is a scary place-
No love for Doctor Destiny? That's cold.
5. Mid-Nite (original)
13. Fate (original)
14. Octopus
18. Mid-Nite (Infinity Inc. version)?
When I read the intro on the main page, I expected to do better, but a few other names were vaguely familiar, and that's all. Jeez, I AM out of the loop.
There's another Dr. Octopus? And I while I knew McNider's most recent successor spelled the hero name differently than he had, I didn't remember that Roy Thomas's creation did. Just expressing my surprise, not challenging anybody.
Ted –
yep, there was a second Do Ock for awhile. Carolyn Trainer, a student of Dr. Octavius. She took over the name when Otto was dead (temporarily, as it turned out). When the original was brought back to life (with Trainer's help), she faded from the Spider-Man books (at least, as far as I can tell).
5. Charles McNider-Dr. Midnight
11. Alex Sartorius-Dr. Phosperous
13. Kent Nelson-Dr Fate
14. Otto Octavius- Dr Octopus
15. Kimiyo Hoshi- Dr Light
18. Beth Chapel- Dr Midnight
I suck at this.
Doctor Doom ran his homeland with an iron fist. Do you think the University of Latveria (Home of the Fighting Weasels) could deny his request for an honorary Ph.D?
If Bush has a degree, you'd think a fellow world leader with enough brains to build a time machine at least deserves a doctorate in sports medicine.
Without looking up or online….
1. Karl Hellfern — Death
2. Jacob Finlay — Light (I)
3. Joseph Ledger — Spectrum
4. Neal Emerson — Polaris
5. Charles McNider — Mid-Nite (I)
6. Albert Desmond — Alchemy (I)
7. Larry Trapp — Trap
8. Douglas Birely — Demonicus
9. Edgar Cizko — ?
10. Lester Verde — Bong
11. Alex Sartorius — Phsophorus
12. Princess Maru — Poison
13. Kent Nelson — Fate (I)
14. Otto Octavius — Octopus
15. Kimiyo Hoshi — Light (III)
16. Johann Fennoff — Faustus
17. Tom Emery — Spectro
18. Beth Chapel — MIdnight
19. Carolyn Trainer — Octopus (II)
20. Joshua N'Dingi — Crocodile
– Per the recent Books of Doom, Victor's title is a self-appointed one taken up when he saw that Reed had gained a PhD.
— Carolyn Trainer was last seen, now calling herself Lady Octopus, in Secret War #1-5.
— Both Charles McNider and Pieter Cross use the "Mid-Nite" spelling, but Beth Chapel used a standard spelling.
— Doctor Bong is great, but what of Doctor Angst?
5. Charles McNider- Dr. Mid-Nite
13. Kent Nelson- Dr. Fate
14. Otto Octavius- Dr. Octopus
15. Kimiyo Hoshi- Dr. Light II
18. Beth Chapel- Dr. Mid-Nite II
These were the only ones I could do…not a good showing…
Without Looking

When I open the readme and click the /wp-admin/install.php link, I get an error: "No input file specified"
That's it; I can't go any further. Any ideas? The godaddy support person said it is a problem with the WordPress software.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I have recently moved to Banff and in the three months I've been here I eat here about every second week. It is just that good!! Out of the 50 or so places to eat in town I can tell you hands down, it's in my top 5!! I mostly come for the burger. It's a real, hand made quality meat patty, juicy but not dripping with fat, not frozen and big. They put some mushrooms and aged cheddar on it (not that orange plastic cheese), caramelised red onions (sweet and delicious) and a couple of rashes of bacon. But the best part, is the olive focaccia bread they put it on. It's always fresh, light and fluffy with just the right amount of olive in it (for those that aren't olive fans it's not over powering just enough). They also serve this up with a thick and creamy chipoltle mayo and big fat hand cut chips. The other thing I like about this place is it's consistency and service. It's a little gem that I'm glad to have found. SO GOOD!!

Atlanta News Reporter Gets Punched in the Face
Posted February 4th, 2013 @ 6:14am
An investigative reporter in Atlanta named Jeff Chirico took a pretty serious punch to the chin from an OLD MAN the other day. Chirico was doing a story about a used car salesman who's allegedly been stealing from his customers. The guy was arrested back in September for racketeering and theft. And even though he's not licensed to sell used cars in Georgia, he's still doing it. So Chirico went to the guy's new location in Gainesville. And while he was there, the guy's elderly father showed up and punched Chirico in the face. Here's a clip.

Opportunity Knocked — Republicans Shut the Door, but Now Protest
This morning the Center for American Progress Action Fund (CAPAF) released a brief report surveying Republican voting records on renewable energy (see data here).
This comes the day following Grist's celebration of Thomas Friedman's op-ed in the NYT finally calling out a glaring hypocrisy as we head into an intense season of presidential campaigning.
As we covered months ago, the renewal of th erenewable energy production and investment tax credits are vital to the industrym which have created jobs, generated growth in new sectors, and provided clean energy. The credits were a singular opportunity (inserted in several pieces of legislation) for Congress to act on tangible, near-term, and meaningful energy policy – but as CAPAF found, partisanship stood in the way.
The blogosphere has reacted strongly this week. It's important for people to understand that this is a non-partisan crisis whose potential solutions are being blocked by Republicans who then spin the blame on Democrats.
New study finds House Republicans participating in energy protests consistently voted against energy independence
Click here to see the full chart
WASHINGTON, DC — Numerous House Republicans participating in the energy protests voted against every attempt to increase clean alternative energy sources during this Congress, according to a new analysis by the Center for American Progress Action Fund. Their consistent opposition to wind, solar, geothermal, and other clean energy sources contrasts with their participation in the House Republicans' protests in favor of offshore oil drilling in protected areas. These protests in the closed House chamber began on August 1, and House Republican Leaders announced that they will continue through August 22.
"These House Republicans win the gold medal for wasted energy due to the hours they spent agitating for big oil's ocean drilling agenda while opposing real clean energy solutions," said Daniel J. Weiss of the Center for American Progress Action Fund. "Meanwhile, American families suffer from record gasoline and energy prices."
"Conservatives in Congress opposed relatively simple, inexpensive new sources of energy while thirsting after America's beaches and coasts. Wind farms can be built and produce energy in two years. Meanwhile, the Department of Energy determined that drilling in protected areas of the Outer Continental Shelf would not have a 'significant impact on domestic crude oil and natural gas production or prices before 2030.' "
The CAPAF analysis examined the protesting representatives' votes on six different bills or amendments in the 110th Congress that would support clean energy alternatives.
The average participant in the protests to urge drilling in protected coastal areas voted against clean renewable energy 95 percent of the time.
The United States has massive potential for wind, solar, and geothermal energy. The Department of Energy determined that wind energy has the potential to provide 20 percent of all U.S. electricity needs by 2030. Scientists found that the solar energy hitting an area of 100 square miles in the Southwest is enough to supply the entire United States with all its electricity needs via 10 percent efficient photovoltaic cells. Domestic resources of geothermal energy have the capacity to fully meet energy demands for thousands of years.
According to a study by the House Natural Resources Committee, big oil companies already have access to nearly 80 percent of all offshore oil and gas in the lower 48 states. These companies hold leases for 44 million acres offshore, but are only producing oil or gas from 10 million of these acres. Before opening the protected coastal areas from Malibu to Miami to Maine, oil companies should develop existing leases.
"Renowned oil man T. Boone Pickens is promoting wind power as a clean alternative to oil," continued Weiss. "He has said 'This is one emergency we can't drill our way out of. But if we create a new renewable energy network, we can break our addiction to foreign oil.'"
"Yet conservatives continue their devotion to big oil's demands for more of our coastal waters while opposing common-sense clean energy solutions that can quickly provide energy."

Thanks, Coby
On the topic of Republican (John McCain) differences with democrats on addressing climate change… NPR's All Things Considered ran a piece yesterday that basically said there is none or a hairs difference between McCain and Obama on the issue.
One huge difference between the two: The constituency that will vote for McCain has global warming way too low on their priority list…. this has to (in my mind) effect how he behaves.
Not to mention that McCain is 0/12 on supporting the tax credits….
An editorial quibble:
" area of 100 square miles " should be a 100 by 100 mile square.
That's 10,000 square miles. Much more, but still doable. The area goes down as PV (or CSP) efficiency goes up, and goes down even faster as end-use efficiency goes up.

The state said the city's Wastewater Treatment Lagoon Dystem is out of compliance. Samson was then fined $5,100.
Mayor King hopes to get the fine reduced and establish a corrective course of action. The state Environmental Agency wants to reduce the amount of treated discharge flowing into the Pea River.
The city of Enterprise's Wastewater Lagoon was also cited last summer by the agency, but the town reduced its fines after coming up with a plan to increase water rates for improved treatment equipment.

Wearing a mask of Russian President Vladimir Putin, an opposition activist takes part an anti-Putin protest in central in Moscow, on Sept. 15. The protester's makeshift scale model of a deltaplane is a reference to Putin's recent flight with Siberian cranes in a motorized deltaplane. The poster reads: "Abandon all hope, you who follow me in the sky! Thousands marched today through Moscow to protest against the rule of Vladimir Putin in a test of the opposition's challenge to the Russian president four months after his inauguration.

"I have worked like a galley slave throughout these eight years, morning till night." Vladimir Putin summing up his first two terms as president to Russian and foreign Press. Feb. 2008.
It's a nice image for voters at election time.
No galley slaves below decks here. Teak and fine woods were used by French designer Jean Guy Vergès for the interior of the 54 meter yacht Sirius bought last year by Russia's Presidential Administration. The Sirius is one of four yachts owned by the Administration, a fleet dominated by the 57 meter Olympia.
But below decks on the Sirius, a 54-meter yacht, Russia's president is not chained to an oar. Instead, he can enjoy the designer interior, listening to a cascading waterfall, chill out in a spa pool, and enjoy a rare vintage from onboard wine cellar.
The Sirius is one of four yachts and part of an explosion of perks that now underpin President Putin's extravagant lifestyle, according to a new opposition pamphlet, "Life of A Galley Slave."

My question is why arent 20kΩ and 80kΩ in series and you couldnt add them together and then take the240kΩ and the 100kΩ in parallel and reduce it downto one resistor??

Frugal cruising
It's cruise season in Alaska, with more than 1 million cruise passengers expected between April and September in port towns from Ketchikan to Seward. Cruise passengers who sign up for shore excursions can spend hundreds of dollars, if not more, in each port they visit. But there are many low-cost and even free things to do in Alaska port towns. Here are some ideas from some of Alaska's most visited ports. Just remember: Your ship won't wait for you if you run late from an outing you've organized on your own, so make sure to allow plenty of time to get back for your ship departure.
This southeast Alaska town is now known more for tourism than for its once-thriving timber industry. But timber workers' skills can be admired at the Great Alaskan Lumberjack Show, $35 (kids 3 to 12, $17.50) plus tax. Historic Creek Street, once a red-light district, houses shops, galleries, restaurants and Dolly's House Museum, former home of madam Dolly Arthur, where visitors can learn about Ketchikan's bawdy past for a $5 admission. Off Creek Street along Married Man's Trail, you can catch the salmon running in the creek from mid-July into September.
Free downtown shuttle buses stop near the docks.
A must-see in this stunning town is the Sitka National Historical Park. A national monument, it commemorates the 1804 Battle of Sitka between the Tlingit Indians and Russians. Totems -- many of them replicas -- are scattered along the park's 2-mile wooded trail. There's also a visitor center, where you can see Native artists working, and the Russian Bishop's House, which the park service says is one of the last surviving examples of Russian colonial architecture in North America. The house tour is $4 (free for kids younger than 16).
Seward is a final stop for some cruises. But there are plenty of reasons to spend a day or more here.
If you have time, rent a car or hire a taxi to take you a few miles outside town to Exit Glacier, within Kenai Fjords National Park, for spectacular up-close views of the glacier.
The downtown historic area offers shops, cafes, the Seward Community Library and Museum and the Alaska SeaLife Center, which is Alaska's only aquarium ($20; for ages 12 to 17, $15; $10 for 4 to 11).
Chances are you won't spend much time in Whittier. But passengers beginning their Alaska cruises here arrive about 1 p.m. and have a few hours in town before departure. Whittier, the gateway to the fjords of Prince William Sound, has just 180 year-round residents. The town also boasts a couple of souvenir shops, a few restaurants and cafes and a museum. Several fantastic hikes can be done in two or three hours and offer views of Horsetail Falls and Portage Glacier.


text: Posted January 11, 2013 So implementing what was basically a college offence this past season wasn't a big part of why we missed the play-offs? Chud was a big reason why we finished with a losing record this season. NO Losing 5 4th quarter leads and 6 2nd half leads is the PROBLEM!!! Clock management, poor defense adjustments in the 4th and Rivera's inexperience at closing out games is the reason we missed the playoffs. DAMN THIS PLACE IS DENSE!!!!

To devise a simple test for estimating the functional capacity of the heart has been the aim of many investigators for several years. Many tests were advanced, most of them based primarily on the response of the heart to exercise. The majority of these tests have proved of very little value and are not being used today. Within the past decade, the study of the vital capacity of the lungs as a functional test in heart disease has gained favor with many clinicians, and favorable reports on the use of this test have been made by Peabody and Wentworth,1 Ulrich and Nathanson2 and others. Peabody and Wentworth1 state that there is a definite relation between the vital capacity and the tendency to dyspnea, and have classified cardiac patients into four classes according to the heart's efficiency.
Patients with a vital capacity of 90 per cent, or more of the normal

Skip to comments.President Obama's Osawatomie Speech was a Marxist Attack on America
Posted on 12/07/2011 12:29:29 PM PST by sheikdetailfeather
RUSH: Ah, you know, you people are so lucky. All you have to do is listen to this. I have to be the one to actually do it. And that's okay. This is Wednesday. Right. Okay. Pearl Harbor Day. A day that will live in infamy, absolutely right, Pearl Harbor Day. Of course yesterday was Pearl Harbor Day number two: The attack on the country by the president of the United States in that speech in Osawatomie Kansas. As I promised yesterday, we have the audio sound bites from that speech. I've studied it. It's depressing to actually have the most powerful man in the country aligned against it. To have the most powerful man in the country seeing this country through crosshairs. I run the gamut of emotions. I mean it's anger, frustration, sadness, it's just amazing.

Maybe with rush finally fully unleashed the majority of americans won't feel like conspiracy nuts when we think our government is trying to destroy the country.
I have never ever heard rush talk the way he did today. To say that he was emotional was an understatement. I don't think he has ever been this "real" with his audience.
"Free Markets are a license to steal". Okay? Any doubts now that he's a Marxist?
"A Progressive Income Tax is the 1st step in dismantling a Free Market Economy." - The Communist Manifesto
I thought Obama said he was giving that speech in TEXAS? LOL.
He was very powerful today.
Wouldnt you know Id be too busy to listen today! Im a Rush 24/7 member. Definitely going to listen to the podcast!
Rush was on fire today. Bravo!
Spot on Sheik. I have been frustrated by Rush acting like a RINO water boy for nearly 15 years. Today he took off the gloves and kicked some Commie a$$. No doubt the Obama thugs are really pissed. When we all get shipped off to Gitmo by the military police I hope my cell in next to Rush.
Free markets are a "license to steal"??? Khrushchev would have loved this guy.

This is one of those occasions.
Something has to pay for Obama's Socialism and big government. If not free market wealth, what?

Obama's thugfest yesterday had me yelling at the tv.
He has to go. He is trying to collapse this nation.
By extending the payroll tax cut, there will be a reduction in Federal Income equal to the first year of the 1.2 Trillion dollars/10 years that the Super Committee failed to find.
Now the ball moves to the Obamanator to cut Federal spending for the same amount, according to the Speaker of the House Boehner's Formula.
That would be a delightful pre-State of the Union present from the Republicans to the vacationing Kenya Kid.
His pal (or should I say former pal), Jamie Diamond of JP Morgan Chase calling him out on his class warfare today. More should speak out against the commie. We need to stop him in his tracks. We are not a communist society. We are Americans and we've had enough of this POS!
Ping flr
Of course Rush is emotional! He succumbed to pressure from Democrats in 2008 and refused to discuss the truth of who and from where Obama had come. Rush totally missed the early opportunity to stop Obama.
I suppose he never imagined how destructive this Obama, a lying Marxist-Muslim, could actually become if elected President. Rush was too busy trying to stop Hillary, as were a great many conservatives.
Note: in 2006 Obama sent a $million to Kenya, and hundreds of Christians and missionaries were murdered, all to stop the facts of Obama's early life from being made public knowledge.
In July 2007 the Democratic Party sent an activist to Jakarta with money to buy up all of Obama/Soetoro's government records and Soetoro family photographs at a price of nearly $200,000. If BHO2 was a natural born citizen who had left Indonesia at ten years of age, what could he possibly have had to hide?
Rush missed the opportunity to stop Obama with the truth. Of course he is angry, but not just at Obama, also at himself.
Rush really got it right today. Barry Soetoro has taken off his mask and thank God for it. I hope he just keeps making that speech everyday. Most Americans are not going to buy it and Newt Gingrich will have a field day with it. Next Nov 6th Barry goes home to Chitown or if we are lucky to Leavenworth.
These pre-war skirmishes continue in preparation for the 2012 elections.
The polling places will be converted to war zones using the mob-chaos tactics developed and implemented across the Nation during the last 18 months...
obamao's glorious 2nd, 3rd, amd 4th terms are all but guaranteed since 90% or so of the serfs will make no attempt to fight the mobs...
Certainly there isn't a single current GOP candidate who has the guts and leadership skills to give any great hope for anything else...
RUSH: Ah, you know, you people are so lucky. All you have to do is listen to this. I have to be the one to actually do it. And that's okay. This is Wednesday. Right. Okay. Pearl Harbor Day. A day that will live in infamy, absolutely right, Pearl Harbor Day. Of course yesterday was Pearl Harbor Day number two: The attack on the country by the president of the United States in that speech in Osawatomie Kansas. As I promised yesterday, we have the audio sound bites from that speech. I've studied it. It's depressing to actually have the most powerful man in the country aligned against it. To have the most powerful man in the country seeing this country through crosshairs. I run the gamut of emotions. I mean it's anger, frustration, sadness, it's just amazing.
Ladies and gentlemen, this speech, we've got the sound bites coming up, but I want to do a little analysis of it even before we get to it. And, by the way, welcome. It's Rush Limbaugh, the EIB Network. Here's the telephone number if you want to be on the program. 800-282-2882.
Look, let me just give you a sample summary of Obama's speech yesterday. The president of the United States, not Fidel Castro, not Kim Jong-il, not Mao Tse-tung, not Lenin, not Stalin, not Gorbachev, not Saddam Hussein, not Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, not Hugo Chavez, but the president of the United States said that while a limited government that preserves free markets speaks to our rugged individualism as Americans, such a system doesn't work and has never worked. The president of the United States said that the United States of America, as founded, "has never worked." Stop and think of that. Ponder that for a moment. The president. Not the head of the SEIU. Not the chairman of some congressional committee. Not a Democrat presidential hopeful. The elected president of the United States said in Osawatomie, Kansas, trying to be Teddy Roosevelt, that the United States of America has never worked. That is a quote, "has never worked."
Really? What was the first Thanksgiving all about? What was George Washington's first Thanksgiving proclamation all about? What was 250 years of the greatest prosperity and standard of living known to exist in all of humanity?
The president of the United States said yesterday that it has never worked. But he didn't stop there. He said that Americans must look to a more activist government that taxes more, spends more, and regulates more if the middle class is to be preserved. I can't get my mind around this. This is antithetical to me. This is foreign. This is what we have faced from our enemies since our founding, this characterization of our country. If you just substitute the word "proletariat" for every time he said "worker" or "middle class" in his speech, if you subject "bourgeois" or "capitalists" for the rich, this same speech could have been given by Lenin a hundred years ago.
In fact, it is, my friend, and don't doubt me, the same speech that Stalin always gave, that Mao Tse-tung always gave, that Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez and Kim Jong-il still give. Communist leaders around the world give this speech constantly. We've heard it all before, because class warfare is the fundamental principle of Marxism. Class warfare is how Marx explained economics and explained history. In fact, class warfare is how Marx explained everything. Now, oddly enough it's how Obama explains everything now. He blames all of the current problems on the rich. And to think some people still say Obama's not a Marxist. They won't even call him a socialist. It's willful blindness on the part of people who, I don't know what kind of state of denial you have to be in to have heard this speech yesterday or to have read this speech and to have not heard a call to arms.
This is how Barack Obama plans to win the future. Remember, that's the slogan for his reelection campaign, gonna win the future by channeling a president from a hundred years ago. Teddy Roosevelt, he gave this speech in 1910, the same place, Osawatomie, Kansas. He then went on to lose at the head of the Bull Moose Party ticket the presidential race in 1912. I don't know if he got the moderates or not. Teddy Roosevelt, I don't know. All I know is that Obama refuses to be himself. He's gotta channel Lincoln and he's gotta channel FDR. He's gotta channel Reagan at times, even tries to be Reagan. Tried to be Teddy Roosevelt yesterday. This is winning the future. Everything Barack Obama said he was for yesterday has been tried throughout history over and over again, the same Marxism has been tried, and it's failed everywhere. It's led to nothing but untold millions of dead people and incalculable misery and suffering.
Now, who wants a future like that? He said some things yesterday that I don't know if he's really that dumb or if it was just written for him and he said it, but sitting there and blaming economic woes on the Internet and the fact that there aren't any more travel agents or telephone operators, it's not hard to look at the Internet and see how many jobs have been created, how much wealth has been created, how much growth in the economy has been created by the Internet. The Internet is an enemy as far as Obama is concerned. He recycled this ATM business again as being indicative of lost American promise. All this automation, all this efficiency, all of this that has led to increased productivity, this guy finds to be the enemy, to be a problem. So what we have is Barack Obama, president of the United States, announcing yesterday in full voice that he is running for reelection as a socialist.
Do you remember how in 2008 he scoffed at anyone who called him a socialist? Do you remember how the media went after Joe the Plumber for reporting Obama told him he just wanted to "spread the wealth around"? Remember how we were mocked for calling Obama a "socialist" during the campaign? Well, yesterday Obama announced to the world in no uncertain terms that he is a socialist if not a Marxist. The news media won't notice. Ron Fournier, who used to write for the AP and who now writes for the National Journal, wrote a piece and said that it was the best speech Obama has ever given. That's not surprising, but still depressing. It's depressing. (interruption)
Snerdley is shouting at me that he's elated over this speech. You are elated over this speech because you think... (interruption) Snerdley is elated over this because he thinks it means that we have finally flushed Obama out. No question now who the guy is. No question now what he's always been. Obama is running against me for reelection, but he's not running against me. If he were just running against me, that'd be fine. Barack Obama is running against the United States of America. This is what gave birth to Ronaldus Magnus. I mean, I have quotes I could give you from Reagan: I'm not gonna stand by and watch a cabal of people like this single-handedly destroy the country. That's a paraphrase but Reagan said it, and he said it back in the sixties.
He said it in the seventies. He said it in the eighties as well. But wherever you go in the Drive-By Media, Ron Fournier's opinion of this speech is repeated: Best speech he's ever given! Yeah, did you hear how Obama talked about college degrees? Did you hear what he said? He said (paraphrased), "College ought not cost a hundred thousand dollars. Everybody ought to be able to go there. Everybody ought to be able to go to college; it ought not cost anything." Fine. Mr. President! Then tell all your friends in academia to start working for free. Tell the professors to start working for free. Tell the universities to start working for nothing. Show us how this is done!
Well, it's not how it's done. How it's done is to take as much money from "the rich," quote, unquote, as he can and redistribute it. Barack Obama wants everybody poor, but there's a sad little reality: The only people who are gonna end up poor if Obama succeeds, the middle class. The rich are not gonna get dinged. You're gonna be told... Have they ever been? I mean, all of this talk. We've had all this "income gap" crap my whole life. I've been hearing about it my whole life. I've been hearing a Democrat Party targeting the rich my whole life. "We're gonna cut 'em down! We're gonna get 'em," and all the while they continue to complain about the widening gap.
"The rich are getting richer!" How do you think that happens? It's much like the Democrat Party promising black America, "You vote for us and we're gonna make sure you're never discriminated against -- and if you are, we're gonna punish those who do it, and we're gonna make sure that you're prosperous, and we're gonna take care of you. We're gonna make sure you're okay," and after 50 years of supposed stewardship and love, compassion, the black family's been destroyed! Blacks are angrier than ever, unhappier than ever.
After all this compassion, concern, attention offered them by the Democrat Party -- after all this help, after all these decades of attacking the rich -- who is it that feels like they're losing everything? It's the middle class! How does that happen? Do you ever stop to think about this? The rich are not gonna get dinged. The middle class is gonna be wiped out. The little guy, the supposed beneficiary of all this Marxism. I want you people who believe Obama to go around the world for me. I want you to find any socialist, Marxist, communist country and I want you to find for me a prosperous, thriving, happy middle class. I want you to find for me a country where a wall has not been built to keep them in. Boone Pickens was on MSNBC this morning. He admitted that he paid over $685 million in income taxes since he was 70. He's in his eighties.
Mika Brzezinski told him it wasn't enough.
RUSH: Barack Obama yesterday said that the free market is "a license to steal." A license to steal! A license to steal. This from the guy who has stolen as much wealth from the private sector as he can under the guise of "stimulus spending." No, not personally. I don't mean he's enriched himself. I mean he's enriched his ideology, the Democrat Party. He has grown government. He is stealing from you and from me each and every day. Being president is what's a license to steal. Being a committee chairman is what's a license to steal. You really want to start comparing corruption at the highest levels of government to the private sector? Have the people of this country decided that they all of a sudden now want to give up on their dreams of wealth and prosperity for themselves and their kids?
Is that gone?
A majority of Americans now just want to sit around and wait for whatever crumbs are redistributed from Barack Obama and his compassionate band of bureaucrats? Government has the license to steal. Government gets to steal, and it's not even called a crime. It's called liberalism, communism, socialism, Marxism; and they don't want any competition. They don't want anybody able to steal the money but themselves. Obama's people, the Occupy Wall Street crowd, heard his clarion call. Yesterday all across the country and decided to start moving into houses, just taking them over, giving these foreclosed houses to their leaders. "Just take it! You're entitled! You're entitled. You're an American and you don't have anything. That's not fair! So if you see something you want, go take it. It's unfair somebody else has it and you don't. If you want it, go take it."
We have a president of the United States who now endorses that very way of thinking.
I am afraid I disagree with you. I am a 5 foot tall, 59 year old woman, who would DEFINITELY walk past 2 young men, portraying tough guys at a polling station. I have walked into the middle of tough gangs and have made them move for me. And they do. I would not be a sheep and I have heard from way too many people in my life who would never roll over and beg. I am one of the everlasting hopeful people who do not say "Die". I am not willing to let one goofball and his little legion of followers take everything I hold dear. Sorry, but you may witness a "serf" uprising.
Ditto that!
I think we need to have a Spring Fling Million American March on DC next year. A million or MORE Americans in front of the White House sending an unsubtle message that yes, indeed....we HAVE had more than enough of the Marxist Muslim POS.

US stocks were flat in early trade Wednesday with markets tempered by mixed earnings reports from Apple, AT&T and P&G, and a poor read on durable goods orders in March.
Thirty minutes into trade, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 0.59 points at 14,718.87.
The broad-based S&P 500 added 1.57 (0.10 percent) to 1,580.35, while the tech-rich Nasdaq Composite Index lost 0.72 (0.02 percent) to 3,268.61.
The Commerce Department reported that durable goods orders sank 5.7 percent in March, hit in part by the impact of government cutbacks on defense orders.
Apple shares sank, rebounded and then dropped back again as investors weighed in on the firm's first quarterly earnings decline in nearly 10 years.
Although profits and sales growth both slowed sharply, Apple's decision to double to $100 billion what it puts into dividends and share buybacks over the next year pleased investors.
The shares were off 0.44 percent 30 minutes into trade.
AT&T meanwhile lost 6.0 percent after its first quarter report missed revenue forecasts.
Boeing shares gained 3.6 percent after its first quarter earnings showed no substantial impact from the grounding of the 787 fleet due to battery problems, which forced the company to halt deliveries of its new flagship aircraft.
Procter & Gamble shares lost 4.5 percent despite reporting a 6.4 percent gain in net earnings in the quarter to March 31, as organic sales growth disappointed analysts, rising only 3 percent.
Ford reported a 15.4 percent gain in first quarter net earnings on strong North American sales, but the shares edged lower, losing 1.2 percent.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury held flat at 1.70 percent, while the 30-year bond edged up to 2.90 percent from 2.89 percent Tuesday. Bond prices move inversely to yields.

Say Cheese: Do Photos Help Doctors See Patients Better?
A study being presented Tuesday at a medical conference in Chicago suggests that radiologists should start examining something they usually ignore: the human face.
The eyes of modern radiology are so trained on high-tech images of arteries, organs and bones that actual patients can become abstract concepts, rarely encountered in the flesh. But a study out of Israel found that including photographs of patients in their files enhanced radiologists' performance. "We recommend adding patient photographs as a routine protocol to the digital file of all radiographic examinations," the study concludes.
That's an audacious suggestion, especially coming from a physician who hasn't yet completed his residency, Yehonatan N. Turner. To boot, Dr. Turner hasn't yet submitted his study for publication.
Putting on a Smile for the Radiologist
Radiologists read scans more carefully when they also had a patient photo, a study found. Here are some suggestions:
- Bring a photo to your scan, or email one to the scanning center, and ask that it be included in your file.
- Photographs aside, provide the clinic with detailed reasons.
But at a Radiological Society of North America conference where 4,000 studies are being presented this week, Dr. Turner's is receiving extraordinary attention, in part because it implies that radiologists don't always remember that patients are people. "It's controversial," says Linda Brooks, an RSNA spokeswoman.
In the study, 15 radiologists at Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem reviewed computed tomography images along with a photograph of the patient. Months later they reviewed the same CT scan but without a photo. A control group of radiologists also twice-reviewed CT scans with no photographs at all. About 300 patients participated in the study.
In the most eye-popping result, the absence of a photograph was associated with an 80% drop in so-called incidental findings, such as when a search for kidney stones turns up a tumor. Incidental findings are often life-saving because they discover pre-symptomatic problems, and the study suggests that radiologists look more carefully for them when a patient photograph is attached.
"It is nice to introduce a human element into radiology, where we so often concentrate on images of internal organs and functions," Michael Vannier, a University of Chicago professor of radiology who wasn't involved in the study, said in an email.
The study also suggests the possibility of patient empowerment in that most-passive medical arena: the scanning machine. A patient can bring along a photograph and demand that it be included in his file. "This would be a new concept to most radiology departments," says Louis H. Wetzel, professor of radiology at the University of Kansas School of Medicine. But most such departments "could easily accommodate such a request," he says.
Yet is it a good idea? Drs. Vannier, Wetzel and others raised questions about the design and implications of the Turner study, including whether its outcome might reflect a "novelty effect" that would diminish if photographs became routine in radiology.
Others argue that anonymity can be an advantage and point to studies showing bias in medical treatment. In a 2004 journal of Pediatrics article called "The Misuse of Race in Medical Diagnosis," Dr. Richard S. Garcia tells of a black girl whose unending cough and fever failed to tip off her doctors. "Only when she was 8 did a radiologist, who had never seen her face to face, notice her chest radiograph and ask, 'Who's the kid with CF?' " the article says. Most cystic fibrosis patients are diagnosed by age 2.
"Bringing a human face to medicine is always good. Bringing stereotyping and bias is dangerous," says Tom Delbanco, a Harvard University professor of medicine, who regards the Turner study "with ambivalence."
More valuable than photographs, some radiologists say, would be enhanced information about the purpose of a particular scan. The overworked clinicians who prescribe scans often provide vague or confusing explanations, and patients often fail to properly fill out forms seeking reasons for the procedure. "Half the time they don't fill the form out, or they say they're getting the scan 'because my doctor ordered it,' " says Matthew Walker, chief of neuroradiology at Northwestern University Medical School in Chicago.
Dr. Turner predicts that further study will bear out the power of old-fashioned head shots to improve radiology. Included in his presentation were comments from radiologists who participated in the study. One said the inclusion of photographs "makes me feel more like a physician." Another said a photograph "makes each CT scan unique."
