About GHRI Ratings
XGood Housekeeping Research Institute (GHRI) ratings are based on laboratory tests conducted by our scientists at the U.S.'s foremost consumer products evaluation laboratory, and incorporate consumer feedback. GHRI is situated on the 29th floor of the Hearst Tower in New York City and is staffed by chemists, engineers, nutritionists, textile specialists, culinary experts, and other scientists.
Using state-of-the-art equipment, GHRI experts test consumer products — from microwaves to mascaras — for their performance, safety, and, with the help of volunteer testers, ease of use.
Established in 1900, before there was a Federal Drug Administration or a Federal Trade Commission, GHRI has always been the most trusted source consumers can rely on to choose products that are safe and effective.
Temperatures remain steady in this model over time. Temps do vary a bit from shelf to shelf however. We found that on some they were just a tad too high for safe food storage (right over 40ø F) even though the controls were set at the recommended 37ø F — you'll want to set it lower. All the shelves in the refrigerator are adjustable and slide in or out, giving you lots of flexibility when you're stocking a week's worth of groceries. Sheet cakes and party platters can be stashed in the pantry drawer, which occupies the width of the refrigerator compartment. When the party's over, put away the leftover cold cuts and cheeses and turn the drawer's temperature setting down to prolong their freshness. Unfortunately, when we stored Boston lettuce in the crisper, it didn't last six days without wilting. The icemaker's installed on the door, not on a shelf, so you have more room to accommodate groceries. When you pull on the freezer handle, the door tilts open. This lets you access the wire basket on the door without pulling out the entire drawer and gives you better access to the drawer's contents when it's fully open. The main freezer drawer has an adjustable divider, giving you lots of flexibility when it comes to arranging food. You'll find the manual is comprehensive and includes a toll-free number. Language barriers with the customer service department meant we had to place three calls before we were connected to the proper person, although ultimately got good advice. sears.com.

What is your world of denial Cole, by stating you have not proven anything, but you provide information? You provide nothing but spinning a yarn that has no truth to it.
What information did you provide on the Aurora Colorado thread, by omitting the caption I found, and making up your spiel about "Why is the girl smiling"? You found that same caption, and the caption answered that question, yet you lied by omitting the caption. When you get caught doing the same game of "Seeing something in the picture", and making up entire senerios about it, who is in denial and who has issues? Simple answer is by omitting the caption that explains the entire picture, it allowed you to make up another wild story. Your answer, instead of being man enough to admit it, in your own denial go off on another Cole rant, how stupid everyone else is. I'm not the one telling tall tails and lies, omitting key parts that give real explanations of the pictures you use.
You are the preverbial bullshit artist, that when caught, just make up another bullshit story, and can not stop! We have all seen them, all have experienced them, and when they corner you, the more you are polite and listen the deeper the bullshit gets.
In this senerio you are making up again, it was proven Bin Laden was not killed in 2001, nor did he die from Kidney failure also reported, he surfaced after those times in videos.

Capablanca's Best Chess Endings
The variations of the Sicilian in which Black sets up a pawn centre with ...e6 and ...d6 have been popularized by such fighting players as Kasparov and Andersson. The play can become extremely sharp and many lines have been analyzed to move 20. This comprehensive work provides everything the modern tournament player needs to know about the Scheveningen and only a Grandmaster of the calibre of Kasparov can provide the strategy explanation necessary for an opening of this complexity.
Sicilian ...e6 and ...d6 Systems
The Paulsen System of the Sicilian challenges one of the common perceptions of the Sicilian Defense: That there is no safe way to play the Sicilian. The Paulsen System is generally regarded as one of the most solid, safe ways to play the Sicilian against 1.e4, while also giving plenty of opportunities for counter-attack. This flexible system can allow Black to arrange his pieces in several different ways. Taimanov shows us how to handle each variation that White can throw at you, and gives many fragments of important games.
Sicilian - Paulsen
This is the first publication of a manuscript by del Rio written around 1800 but unpublished until this edition in 1984. The original Italian plus English commentary added by Professor Christopher Becker who has added a long scholarly introduction which traces the early development of chess and explains the place of this work in chess history.
The War Of the Chessmen
Through the fortunate chance of having developed a notation to record actual games, chess has become very much a literary game. This has resulted in a veritable flood of books, with more being written about chess than any other sport. Hence, for the average chess player who would like to improve, the choice among such a vast number of books can be bewildering. The author has undertaken to review those books written by the great writers of the game and to select recommendations.

The Literature of Chess
The Ponziani (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.c3)has been an opening that has been overlooked frequently through the years. However it was played quite frequently throughout the 80's in Master-level and above tournament play. White has many ways to challenge each variant of Black's setup. Harding shows that Black's game is not as easy as many Black theorists would want you to believe.

Urban Fiction writer, Earl Sewell, will be at Alma Powell Library July 30 at 6:00 pm. Mr. Sewell is not only an urban fiction writer but he also writes a series of teen books for Kimani Tru. I've read a couple from his teen series called Keysha's drama series. I enjoyed Maya's Choice and If I were your boyfriend. One of the things I liked about Mr. Sewell's teen books is that they are very diverse and culture wise. Many teens would find a lot to identify with, if not for themselves then for some of their friends. Mr. Sewell addresses a great deal of the challenges young people face today. In Maya's Choice Maya's cousin, Viviana, moves in and it makes life difficult for Maya and her life begins to fall apart. In If I were your boyfriend Keysha has a lot to learn and life changing decisions to make.
If you're a urban fiction lover or like teen books that are full of life challenges then please join us to meet and hear from our guest Earl Sewell.
We estimate close to 1,000 attended the "Banned Books Art Hop and Read Out" here on Friday evening!
If you attended, you saw the wide array of artistic interpretations of the six banned or challenged books and heard emotional readings from all six of them. I heard several attendees whisper that they were surprised at the books, surprised that someone in some community had challenged that particular book.
Banned Books Art Contest Winners
WKZO radio personality Lori Moore reads from Revolutionary Voices (above). Author Deborah Ann Percy reads from Hunger Games (top). Photos by Kevin King.
The winners are listed on our website, the books are available in our collection... they aren't banned in Kalamazoo.
This annual event gives us pause to celebrate the freedom to read and the importance of the First Amendment.
Recently at the Alma Powell Branch we did a teen program called Pizza and Pages. We read and discussed the book Sweet, Hereafter by Angela Johnson and I bet everyone knows what we did with the pizza part of Pizza and Pages. The book was a great pick for our first book discussion. It was a 117 page easy read. It was thought provoking and infectious. Once we started reading it was hard to put down. What really surprised me, though, was that it was a time warp; it could've been any generation or any war era. Angela Johnson achieved what all great artists try to achieve. She filled our minds with questions. Who was Alice? Was Sweet a girl or a boy? Which war time was it? And lots more!
Everyone is looking forward to Powell's next Pizza and Pages!
On July 6, the Kalamazoo Public Library was honored to host the World Premiere of author Bonnie Jo Campbell's newest novel Once Upon A River. The novel that has been listed by NPR, CNN, Newsweek and The Daily Beast as being a "must read" and essential summer novel. These accolades should not lead you to believe it is a beach read because it has been earning critical praise from publications such as Entertainment Weekly, Detroit Free Press, and the Wall Street Journal. Recently the Washington Post critic Ron Charles wrote, "The wonder of Once Upon a River is how fresh and weathered it seems at the same time. Ardently turning these pages, I felt as though I'd been waiting for this book and yet somehow already knew it. After her critically acclaimed collection of short stories, American Salvage, Bonnie Jo Campbell has built her new novel like a modern-day craftsman from the old timbers of our national myths about loners living off the land, rugged tales as perilous as they are alluring. Without sacrificing any of its originality, this story comes bearing the saw marks of classic American literature, the rough-hewn sister of The Leatherstocking Tales, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and Walden."
After Bonnie acknowledged many of the people in the audience who contributed to the book in some way or another, the evening started with a reading of the first chapter which introduced the main protagonist of the novel, Margo. She is a character who possesses a tremendous amount of spirit and adventure that can only be found in the citizens of southwest Michigan. The reading was followed up with an informative and entertaining Q&A. Bonnie answered a variety of questions about the writing process as well as inspiration for the book. The over 160 in the crowd were treated to an education!
Most in the crowd agree that Once Upon A River deserves similar, if not more accolades than her previous book the National Book Award Finalist, American Salvage. If this novel is not on multiple "Best of 2011" lists I will be shocked! I was lucky enough to receive an advanced copy of Once Upon A River in the mail a few months ago. After reading the first 50 pages, I turned to my wife and stated that it was the best books I had read in years. I then proceeded to neglect my family and friends until I finished the book. Check out a copy or place one on hold, but be sure to prepare your family for your absence because you will be floating down the river lost in an amazing book.

Kalamazoo Public Library was very pleased to host illustrator Kim Shaw in an Anti Bullying Art Workshop. Kim presented her newest book, The Juice Box Bully, and then led a lively discussion on bullies and friendship. It was clear from the response of the school aged and adult audience that the topic is more timely than ever.
Kim then led an interactive drawing workshop wherein everyone had the opportunity to learn and practice some great drawing skills. Kids especially enjoyed this part - essentially a a small intro to drawing class for nearly fifty! Lots of nice drawings emerged from the Van Deusen room.
Kim created the art for The Juice Box Bully based on Kalamazoo's Woodward School for Technology and Research. Listen to Kim discuss how that real-life school influenced her illustrations.
This past week author Cynthia Leitich Smith visited Kalamazoo for a few days. While here she visited with students at Woods Lake and Northglade elementary schools and with a group of teens at the Kalamazoo County Juvenile Home. On Friday, she was the keynote speaker for KPL's annual Mary Calletto Rife Youth Literature Seminar. The theme was "Crossing Borders" and all of the speakers addressed the idea that books for kids and teens help them understand, appreciate, and relate to others in their diverse communities, despite a wide variety of differences and borders.
Other speakers at the seminar were Beth Amidon and Maria Perez-Stable from Western Michigan University, Gillian Engberg, from the American Library Association's "Booklist" journal, and Debbie Reese from the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana. The seminar was wonderful . . . with much thoughtful discussion about books and kids and reading!
Gillian Engberg, Sue Warner, Cynthia Leitich Smith, and Karen Santamaria
After the visit to Kalamazoo, both Cynthia and Debbie posted blogs on their websites: www.cynthialeitichsmith.com and www.americanindiansinchildrensliterature.net/.
We had a great time last week with this group of very talented writers and scholars. If you'd like to be added to the mailing list for information about next November's seminar, contact Mary Knowles. See more photos of the 2010 Youth Literature Seminar on KPL's Flickr photostream.
Those who packed Van Deusen Room were very privileged to hear David Small discuss the story and process behind his National Book Award nominated graphic memoir, Stitches, in a world premiere event on September 10, 2009.
The interview was set-up to resemble the popular television show Inside the Actor's Studio, which provided David with a casual atmosphere to discuss Stitches. He answered a variety of questions about his life growing up in 1950's Detroit with a family that could hardly be described as tightly knit.
The presentation also included some fabulous animated videos of the books, shots of sketches, and panel by panel storyboards. David was candid about both the physical and emotional wounds which took years to finally stitch together into a memoir that will touch many lives.
A second David Small visit is being planned for 2010, so please check the website often for more details.

Michael Zadoorian grew up in a suburb of the Motor City, so it makes sense that the characters in his new novel The Leisure Seeker travel on a classic American road, Route 66. This novel is easily one of the best love stories I have read in years. John and Ella are taking one last trip in their "recreational sarcophagus" before their serious medical conditions overtake them. John has Alzheimer's and Ella is riddled with cancer, but that does not stop them from going to pay homage to the "Mouse" in Anaheim.
On July 22nd, Zadoorian visited KPL to provide the background to this hilarious and touching novel. It gave all who attended insight on how true love can survive sickness, roadside diners, and lack of air-conditioning in Texas.
Writing effectively is a struggle for many of us, but in the end it can (and should) be an incredibly satisfying experience. On July 1st, Jo Wiley led a creative writing workshop at the Oshtemo Branch Library, exploring "a variety of creative writing genres." Participants were invited to bring along their creative ideas and ask questions about the writing process and publishing.
With more than a dozen participants registered, the program was highly successful. Here are a few follow-up notes from the program facilitator that shed light on the scope of the workshop...
"After a general discussion about why we, in particular, write and then, in general, why writers write, I introduced the participants to the concept of poetry's 'abiding image,'" said Ms. Wiley, "and they did a multi-stepped exercise resulting in them establishing an 'abiding image' for themselves. Using their responses to the exercise, I then introduced development strategies for poetry, fiction and creative nonfiction. I offered them the option of developing a poem at home and mailing it to me for feedback, if they'd like."
A full-time instructor at Western Michigan University's Haworth College of Business, Jo Wiley was the recipient of the 2009 Community Literary Award for Adult Poetry, an annual competition sponsored by the Kalamazoo Gazette, Kalamazoo Public Library and Portage District Library.
"With poetry," she added, "we talked a lot about language and structure; fiction we reviewed the 'seven basic plots,' and then creative nonfiction we talked mostly about the differences between CNF and fiction and when and why writers chose one over the other. I ended the workshop with some information and discussion on 'the writer's life' and publishing."
With a primary interest in creative nonfiction, the same group plans to meet later in the month to focus on essay writing.
Jerry Garcia said the trouble started with comics. Author David Hajdu, who visited KPL on June 4, quoted the late Grateful Dead guitarist who claimed rock and roll culture — a romanticizing and escalation of violence, a cynicism toward authority and formal institutions, governments, schools — shouldn't be blamed on Elvis. No, it went back further, to the 1940s, in the pages of comic books.
Not just any comic books, but a pulpy breed with a mean streak that turned the notion of comic book hero inside out. Not only were these books filled with violence, but the protagonist often was a perpetrator of it. Readers had voracious appetites for these stories, which crossed boundaries of gender and class. In those days, some 60 to 100 million comic books were sold each week. Reading comic books and trading them with friends was the most popular form of entertainment.
As this new breed of comics came to the forefront, kids seemed to change and parents took notice, Hajdu said. Then came "the clash" and the comics controversy was caught up in the larger Post-War "red scare." The details of these times are captured in Hajdu's book The Ten Cent Plague: The Great Comics Scare and How it Changed America.
Listed on many of 2008's "best books" lists, The Ten Cent Plague is the third book for David Hajdu, music critic for The New Republic and a professor at the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism. Hajdu says he is drawn to untold stories.
The untold story in Hajdu's first book Lush Life: A Biography of Billy Strayhorn, was about the composer and arranger of jazz who worked with Duke Ellington for some 30 years. You may think "Ellington" when you hear "Take the 'A' Train," but you should also think "Billy Strayhorn." Strayhorn was pure genius, but the glory went to Ellington.
After compiling this history of jazz musicians in Harlem and Paris, Hajdu went on to explore another facet of American music: the folk scene of early 1960s Greenwich Village. Positively 4th Street: The Lives and Times of Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, Mimi Baez Fariña and Richard Fariña dishes on these musicians and their contributions and examines how Dylan became Dylan.
Check out Hajdu's books, all of which are in KPL's collections, and read his music columns in The New Republic.

Stars Come in All Forms
By Brad Horn
ST. LOUIS — The All-Star Game has come to represent so much more than just the top 30 or so players from each league who are having the best seasons to date.
Through an All-Star Week — featuring the XM All-Star Futures Game, the Taco Bell All-Star Legends & Celebrity Softball Game and the ever-popular State Farm Home Run Derby — baseball fans have more and more reasons with each passing year to become immersed in All-Star extravagance.
This year is no different. Before the "All-Stars" had even arrived in St. Louis late Sunday night, many other Stars took centerstage. Hall of Famers Bruce Sutter, Goose Gossage, Ernie Banks, Rollie Fingers and Ozzie Smith were on the diamond at Busch Stadium on Sunday evening. And fellow Hall of Famers Orlando Cepeda, Juan Marichal, Luis Aparicio, Dick Williams, Brooks Robinson, Lou Brock, Bob Gibson and Gaylord Perry were just a few members of the baseball royalty out and about downtown and at FanFest.
The biggest star on Sunday? None other than Rene Tosoni, of course.
An outfielder by trade for the Minnesota Twins' Double-A affiliate, the not-to-far-down-the-road-from-Cooperstown New Britain (Conn.) Rock Cats, Tosoni, who hails from Coquitlam, British Columbia, was pleased to be a part of the World Team in the Futures Game on Sunday. He just wanted to get in the game. But after a 4-hour rain delay, time seemed to be running out as the game reached the final inning — the top of the 7th — with his team down 5-3.
Then, in the blink of an eye, Tosoni finds himself this All-Star Monday morning on the way back to Connecticut — with his bat from his pinch-hit, two-run double on its way to Cooperstown.
"Wow," uttered Tosoni moments after being presented the MVP Award on Sunday night outside the visitor dugout — and learning his bat would join other Futures Game MVPs in Cooperstown, a tradition started with the very first Futures Game MVP, Alfonso Soriano, in 1999.
Tosoni has never been to Cooperstown, but his bat — brand new, with just one hit to its resume — will soon be on display. Tosoni may not be the best known star from Sunday, but he is the quintessential All-Star among us who represents what baseball can bring you: An unexpected spot in history, on any given day.
Brad Horn is the senior director of communications at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

Is cycling getting safer in Britain ?
Unfortunately, that conclusion is without any evidence to support it. For as long as I can remember, cycling organisations in the UK have made regular claims that cycling is booming. It may be more palatable news than reporting a decline, but actually there has been a downward trend since the 1950s, and cycling currently bumps along at probably the lowest figure it can reach. Currently about 1.6% of journeys in the UK are by bike - about the number you get anywhere where cycling is under stress. It will never be 0% because there are always bicycle fanatics1 who will cycle whatever the conditions, and always a few people for whom cycling is the only viable option due to its low cost.
So what is 1.6% ? Well, as you see above, the average British person makes 16 journeys per year by bike. That's as many as the average resident of Groningen makes in 11 days. Of course these journeys are not spread evenly through the population. The fanatics cycle much more than that, and to make up for it, 70 % of the British population doesn't cycle at all. Not even once per year.
Note that the article referred to above, and the ONS document, both claim there has been a "17% increase on the previous year" in cycle journeys based merely on looking at the numbers for 2007 and 2008. However, the number of cycle journeys per year are reported as being between 14 and 16 for every year between 2002 and the present. This is just statistical noise, not a trend.
I suspect that there are two reasons for the apparent improvement in safety of cyclists in the UK. One reason is that the demographics have become yet more narrow, leaving just the fanatics, who tend to be experienced, cycling.
Fewer British children are cycling, and children have never been the safest of road users (indeed, the UK's record on road safety for children is one of the worst in Europe).
Perhaps this second set of numbers from the same document better explains the increased apparent safety of cyclists in the UK. While no figures are given for children cycling to school (it's been very low for many years, and the document notes that "Other" generally means a local bus), fewer children than ever now walk to school. Indeed, the most common way for primary school children to get to school in the UK now is by car.
Reading the document you find such passages as "The majority of children aged 7 to 10 were usually accompanied to school by an adult in 2008 (86 per cent), an increase from 78 per cent in 2002." and that the main reason for accompanying children was "traffic danger (58 per cent)."
It seems reasonable to assume that a similar change has occurred in child cycling.
Others have noted that teenage girls hardly cycle at all in the UK. Other groups who feel less than confident on Britain's subjectively unsafe roads are also less likely to cycle now than in the past, or in countries such as the Netherlands where children have a remarkable degree of independence through cycling and virtually everyone cycles.
Context. How are cyclists doing relative to other road users ?
We must also put the improvement in safety for Britain's cyclists in the context of an overall improvement in road safety in the UK.
Britain's roads have become safer for all modes of transport, and actually cycling's improvement is smaller as a proportion (roughly 40% of the risk there used to be) than most other modes (driving now has 30% of the risk it used to have).
Compared with driving, cycling now has a risk 12.7 times as large per km travelled, when it was just 9.3 times as risky in 1981. So, to answer the question posed at the top, cycling in Britain is now safer overall than it used to be, but it's less safe than it used to be relative to driving.
We touched on school travel above, and I think it's interesting to compare the high profile that Britain has achieved internationally based on claims to have achieved changes in school travel ("The UK is a world-leader in terms of School Travel Plan (STP) development and implementation") with the reality of how walking to school has declined in the country. The comparison with the Dutch situation is stark. Words from government aren't enough. What is needed is the infrastructure which makes people feel safe when walking or cycling, which makes it an attractive and convenient thing to do.
Streets in these two countries look completely different and that's why people's behaviour is different.
I've pointed out before that Britain's overall record on road safety may be good, but it's not been achieved in the same way as the Dutch have achieved their even better record.
You can read more on the effect of British policy on children.
2013 update
The British government reports that "The number of pedal cyclists killed rose by 10 per cent from 107 in 2011 to 118 in 2012. In addition, the number of pedal cyclists reported to the police as seriously injured in a road accident increased by 4 per cent to 3,222. There is a well-established upward trend in pedal cyclist casualties; this is eighth year that the number of seriously injured cyclist casualties has
increased." (thanks to GB Cycling Embassy)
True improvements in cycling safety in the UK will result from building a proper network for cyclists, not through wishful thinking about safety in numbers.
1Don't be offended. I number myself amongst the fanatics.

I seem to recall a UK police force caught omitting certain accident types involving cyclists... This was about 1.5yrs ago maybe? I much prefer the hospital admission numbers for cycling accidents to be included.
Anyways, I think there is a lot of wishful thinking on behalf of the cyclists and police. - 18 February 2010 at 01:21

Fanatic!? I prefer committed or even dedicated. Fanatic kind of marries with obsessed or sad (although sometimes my wife calls me obsessed when I'm blogging come to think of it). Agree with all the points you make though.
I speak as an A&E nurse in the UK. While I agree the figures would be valuable, I doubt NHS coding would be able to differentiate a "cycling accident" from any other form of Road Traffic Incident (RTC) involving any and all road users.
The mechanism of injury is of interest to clinicians but of little use to others within the NHS. I also feel a fair few cyclists involved in a 'minor' RTC wouldn't present to hospital anyway so any figures so collected would only show the fewer serious injuries.
Personally I find the bulk of RTC presentations tend to be for whiplash after a rear end shunt. Very few cyclists arrive in A&E in comparison, in fact the only one I have seen in the last 6 months was a guy who busted his shoulder when he hit black ice on his commute. - 18 February 2010 at 08:06

There are some hopeful signs, though (maybe it doesn't look that way from the perspective of the NL). One is that cycling in the capital (= the UK, as far as the bulk of the media and policy makers is concerned) is going up by any measure. Maybe, just maybe, cyclists will start to be considered as legitimate interests when decisions on spending and road building are made (although it would help if the various cycling organisations didn't fight like rats in a sack over whether cycling lanes are a good thing or the work of the devil). The second is the increase of 20 mph zones, largely for pedestrians' benefit, but which have to have a knock-on effect on other road users as well. Ok, it's not anything like what's going on over in the continent, but maybe we can start to build on that, no?
(I have to remain somewhat positive, otherwise why bother?) - 18 February 2010 at 12:01
I'm still laughing, if you have a Velomobile in the UK you may well be considered a fanatic. True those remaining cyclists in the UK are not ordinary citizens. Hey, I rode to work in the snow today.
Is it getting safer, no, but we are down to killing "just" fifty people each week, how nice.
That said the risk of cycling is unbelievably exaggerated by the use of the per km distance rather than per journey. The passenger deaths table gives a picture that cycling is 12 times as deadly as being in a car, but the hidden truth is that you travel greater distances in the car. Compare the number of journeys - 410 by car and 16 by bike, 26 to 1, and then the number of deaths 2538 and 115 (for 2008), 22 to 1. Not so much different when it comes to arriving alive, certainly not 12 times.
We shouldn't lose sight of the number of injuries and these work out at 14 to 1 so you are less likely to be injured when traveling by car, but again the difference is not as great as one is led to believe.
Mark Garrett, Bristol UK - 18 February 2010 at 14:30
If you want more detailed figures on home-to-school mode share, there's a data set called "NI 198" (Google should work) that has mode share for a limited number of UK local authorities. For primary schools, the number is generally 1% or lower, for secondary school 4% or lower, with some spikes (generally mid-size sleeper towns, plus Cambridgeshire). Now contrast that with your Kloosterveen school video :)

I'd disagree with 'townmouse' that there are hopeful signs in the UK.
The rise in cycling in London remains insignificant in relation to modal share, and while commuter cycling on main roads has increased, cycling by children in London has plunged. I almost never see unaccompanied children riding bicycles in London. The few that I do see tend to be tough, streetwise young teenagers on BMXs.
I'm not surprised by this. One local school has had its access made one-way to accommodate motor traffic flow and on-street car parking, yet the cycle route sign remains up, directing schoolgoing cyclists the 'wrong' way.
20 mph zones don't necessarily make for cycling-friendly streets. Much of my cycling is in such zones, but there's nothing pleasurable or relaxing about cycling along a narrow street lined with parked cars on both sides, with drivers coming at you head on, or overtaking recklessly close. The traffic calming in 20 mph zones often fails to reduce speeds to below that limit. You may well get a reduction in casualty figures, what you don't necessarily get is streets which are cycling-friendly. - 25 February 2010 at 18:25

In fact I think she was counting on it when she threw the sword like she did. I think Bell was expecting one of three results: Kill one of them and Sam with one throw, just kill one of them, and main thing killing Sam. But I don't think she know the swords secret. She was just trying to kill Sam and anyone in her way of protecting Girly.
Megadon wrote:The Creator wrote:Exodis wrote:Darkingdomhearts wrote:I think Professor Utonium made a mistake, making the Powerpuff Girls and all xD
Why do you say that? .-.
True, how is this Utonium's fault? Unless he is somehow directly tied up in Dr X's origin I don't see how he can be blamed.
Maybe Blossom's mistake was taking too long to decide. If she knew this was going to happen she could've stopped bell.
I don't think Sam knows that she is going towards the conduit. If she did she would not have used that particular taunt.
"i'm telling on you" would imply that Bell did something wrong but in the end the plan was successful.
As for the "It's Utonium's Fault" thing. This going on info at the Wiki, but it shows that Dr.X's last name is Utonium so he is somehow related to the Professor. For all we know they could have been working on, and developed Chemical X together. So there is some relation between Dr.X and Professor Untonium, but what cause this hated rivalry is still the question.
Now Blossom making the mistake. I think some might blame Blossom because the did the natural thing and not the hero thing. Natural: self-preservation, Hero: self-sacrificing. So instead of being hero and stopping the sword, she did natural and pushed her sister out of the way and stepping back.
As for Sam knowing she was about to fall on the conduit that's as big NO. In fact that's karma at its worst. She was planning on using Gir now it's going to be her. In fact she's falling that way because of the force of the impact, and the shock of it all. The biggest shock, of course being betrayed and killed. And yes when she hits the conduit it's going to be very brutal. In fact I'm hoping for lighting shoot through her and into the air as well like an exorcism.
Misery Chord wrote:I guess I'm confused about how the "moral loophole" here since apparently, the effectiveness of the sword is has been stated to be based on the user, not that of the target.
Maybe if Bell had been aiming at the girls and it hit Sam, that would be one thing, but she didn't seem surprised at all and it seem Sam was her intended target. Why would the sword work at all in that case, since Bell is still morally wrong? I mean if you fire an arrow, throw a dart, or shoot a bullet you're still considered the actual assailant.
If the effectiveness were based on the target, that would be more in line with what we've seen given that Sam was cutting the cables before now, but the only way around it I can see is that the sword didn't even see Sam as a living being...but it had to in order to judge her as not worthy of slicing Blossom's neck open. Maybe I'm missing something here.
I wrote:Remember What BR said about a "moral loophole"? It's said that in the hands of evil, Jack's sword is harmless. However, the sword wasn't technically in Bell's hands now was it? I think if Bell tried to pick the sword up and slice Sam in half, then it would have just glanced off like it did with Blossom.
Tenshi Nova wrote:I'd prefer Sam to just remain dead. It's more respectful to her character imo.

Yeah same here. but I'm hoping her disembodied soul will be involved in the story somewhat.

Martha Jefferson's thoracic surgeons are dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of tumors of the esophagus and chest.
When surgery is necessary for lung cancer patients, Martha Jefferson's thoracic surgery team offers some of the most innovative surgery techniques available in the nation. Our surgeons use smaller incisions that are less painful and spare surrounding muscle to make recovery easier. Technologic advances in instrumentation and video surgery are used so that minimally invasive surgery is possible, even when the surgeons perform major resections.
One such innovation is Video Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS), which can be used for diagnostic and treatment procedures. Using VATS, surgeries that would have required much more invasive techniques, now are performed using two to three small incisions and tasks such as rib-spreading are not necessary. Tumors in high-risk patients previously deemed inoperable with conventional methods may be amenable to these minimally invasive techniques.
