In short: Utterly butterly fabaroonie & hip-hop-happy run!In full: This is the race to spark everyone's running potential and a must for the diary for any runner and their families - for a true family day it is! For those of us who are priviledged to start and finish, it gives us the opportunity to really see how a race should be managed as well as evaluating our time as a runner on the tarmac. From the meticulous organisation of the key players; the genuine charm of the registering volunteers, to the mighty luminous plentiful effective marshalls and not to forget the cheery children at the 3K and 6K water stations(whom we must especially thank today for their most welcome showers and sprays of water - adeptly targeted!) - it was a joy and priveledge to be part of it all. The sun shone gloriously and the wind blew in exactly the right direction - on our faces homewards up the steady, incline to the finish line at the school. The support was epic from the locals who were out in force, cheering and clapping with gusto - to the piper at the midway 5K as we turned tail. The views were a magical distraction when the uphills seemed endless and the support from fellow runners, near and far, doing high 5's, simply great cammaradare. All in all - its a great family day out and the local cafe Doyle's cappucino and cake stand - not to be missed as a spectator or runner! Only 365 days and counting til 2012...............can't wait! xxDate of review: April 17, 2011

An article by the Associated Press, appearing at U.S. News & World Report, says: "But liberal Democrats, fresh off fighting to get Obama re-elected last year, say they're disheartened that Obama isn't sticking up for what they say are core Democratic principles.

Read More...Tom Philpott writes for Mother Jones: "For these companies' employees, it's been a much rougher road. The steep recession and glacial recovery have kept unemployment at high levels, meaning fewer opportunities to switch jobs and little leverage in wage negotiations. Even in ultra-expensive New York City—which has by far the nation's highest cost of living—many McDonalds, Burger King, and Yum! workers draw the federal minimum wage, $7.25. The federal minimum wage translates to about $15,000 per year. This, in a city where the average rent for a two-bedroom apartment tops $3,000."
Read More...Anna North writes for BuzzFeed: "One of the most persistent narratives of the Great Recession has been the so-called 'end of men' — that is, the ebbing of men's historical dominance over the world of work. Many have noted that this dominance hasn't actually ebbed very far, but the narrative continues — last week, a report featured in The New York Times blamed the problem on single moms. But the 'end of men' story line ignores the fact that the recession has produced much bigger disparities between black and white Americans than between men and women."
Read More...Stacy Mitchell writes for AlterNet: "When Michelle Obama visited a Walmart in Springfield, Missouri, a few weeks ago to praise the company's efforts to sell healthier food, she did not say why she chose a store in Springfield of all cities. But, in ways that Obama surely did not intend, it was a fitting choice. This Midwestern city provides a chilling look at where Walmart wants to take our food system."
Read More...Dean Baker writes for The Huffington Post: "There are few areas where the corruption of the national media is more apparent than in its treatment of Social Security. Most of the elite media have made it clear in both their opinion and news pages that they want to see benefits cut. In keeping with this position they highlight the views of political figures who push cuts to the program, treating them as responsible, while those who oppose cuts are ignored or mocked."

File transfer?
I'm anctiously awaiting stock to return on the Samsung ARM based Chromebook. I have a pretty good idea of what it can and can not do. There is one thing that I currently do on my net book that I am not clear if I can do on the Chromebook.
While on vacation, every night I plug each of the cameras and phones into my net book, transfer the pictures and video from the SD cards to the hard drive, and then upload all to my FTP server at home overnight. Then I can delete the SD cards in the morning and start fresh. It looks like I can do this with the CB. At least I see it can access files on the SD card. Can I then copy them over to a USB external drive? I found a web based FTP program, so I think I have that covered.
I see people have been having trouble with the CB recognizing cameras and phones, and end up removing the SD cards. Any comments on this? Anyone get the CB to recognize their Samsung Galaxy S3? Hoping that keeping everything Samsung will help.
Anyway, I'll know the answer myself if these ever come back in stock. - 12-10-2012, 07:57 AM #2
Re: File transfer?
I always transfer photos from the memory cards not the camera so I can't say if the CB will recognize a camera. I have the new Acer C7 Chromebook and the SD reader works fine to download my photos onto the hard drive. I also use the USB port with a memory card adapter to download photos from a Compactflash card. When I have all my photos on the C7 hard drive I plug in a USB hard drive and back up the files so I now have two copies and can erase the memory cards. The C7 has a 320GB hard drive so there is plenty of space to hold my photos until I get back to my main computer.
I assume with the Samsung you could copy from the SD reader directly to a USB hard drive. I don't know about FTP transfer if you can get that to work I don't see why your plan to transfer from the USB drive wouldn't work. - 05-18-2013, 03:40 PM #3
Re: File transfer?
I am trying to figure out how to get my friend's Chromebook to allow me to download SD card jpegs and CR photos to an external USB hard drive attached to the Chromebook. The book sees both the SD card and the drive, but dragging a photo onto the drive produces nothing on the drive - I can't evem darg a photo on DOWNLOADS. I have the drive formatted for my macs. Should I reformat it in a universal format and what would that be?
I want to use this combination for an upcoming trip where I expect to take a lot of photos. Putting them on an ipad won't work - too many, too large and I will have no wireless access.
Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.

Bill Barrett Corp. (NYSE: BBG) has signed a purchase and sale agreement with an affiliate of Vanguard Natural Resources LLC for the sale of certain of the company's non-core natural gas assets including all Wind River Basin natural gas producing properties, the Powder River Basin coal bed methane (CBM) assets and a working interest in its Gibson Gulch-Piceance Basin development property. Total consideration is $335 million.
In a prepared statement, Bill Barrett chairman, CEO, and president Fred Barrett said the transaction is closely aligned with the company's long-term objectives, and highlighted two key points. "One, the monetization of non-core, lower growth assets is part of a prudent long-term strategy to optimize our portfolio and focus investment dollars in programs that offer the highest returns and best long-term growth profile. Two, based on our allocations, this transaction pegs the pre-sale market value of our Gibson Gulch asset at approximately $1 billion, which I believe has not been recognized in the market."
The transaction includes the sale of an initial 18% working interest in Gibson Gulch that progresses to a 26% interest in 2016, and Bill Barrett Corp. will retain operatorship. At closing, the transaction will include in the three areas approximately: 254,000 net acres of leasehold, predominantly in the Wind River and Powder River basins; 239 Bcfe of total proved reserves (based on year-end 2011); and 50 MMcfe/d of projected 2013 production. The company retains all of its leases in its emerging Powder River Basin Deep stacked oil play. The company has the right to propose farmouts, under pre-defined terms, on the Wind River Basin properties.
Following the announcement, in a note to investors, Stifel Nicolaus analysts provided an investment summary, noting that Bill Barrett reported "a cash flow beat, a miss on earnings, increased 2012 capex spending due to acreage acquisitions, and new oil results that were mixed (positive developments on existing assets, but negative results on new resource test results).
The key drivers for the company, noted the analysts, are oil volume growth, new resource testing, and its ability to manage its CF outspend.
"In terms of operational update, positive Uinta and Wattenberg wells should allow oil volumes to continue growing at a good pace. Resource test results were generally negative with test results in CR4, Black Shale, shallow Green River, and Paradox Basin not living up to expectations. In terms of managing FCF, 2012 capex was increased, but a $335 mm asset sale was also announced this morning to help fund some of the FCF outspend. Bottom line, key takeaways are (1) the oil volume growth is key for CF growth in 2013, (2) the higher capex, although driven by acreage acquisitions, will cause some concern for investors given the ongoing outspend and need for run rate capex to drop meaningfully on a sequential quarterly basis, (3) the poor resource test results takes away some of the upside for the name," the analysts concluded.
The $335 million asset sale is expected to close by December 31, 2012.

Randy Crawford's initial notoriety came from her fiery vocal on "Street Life," a 1979 song matching her with the Crusaders that was included on the soundtrack for Burt Reynolds' film Sharky's Machine. Crawford was born in Macon and grew up in Cincinnati; she worked in clubs as a teen, accompanied by her father. Crawford was lead vocalist in a group that included bassist Bootsy Collins before touring as George Benson's opening act in 1972. Cannonball Adderley invited her to sing on his LP Big Man. Crawford recorded "Don't Get Caught in Love's Triangle," a song produced by Johnny Bristol, during a short stay on the label. She soon moved to Warner Bros., and after "Street Life," recorded and toured Europe with the Crusaders. Crawford was tabbed Most Outstanding Performer at the 1980 Tokyo Music Festival. She remained with Warner Bros. through the '80s and early '90s, but was unable to score either a big R&B hit or major crossover smash, despite having one of the most readily identifiable voices and distinctive approaches of any contemporary female vocalist. She's been more successful overseas, particularly in England, where such singles as "Knocking on Heaven's Door," "Rainy Night in Georgia," and "Last Night at Danceland" have gotten universal acclaim. ~ Ron Wynn

Federal mining engineers have reviewed six more pending state mountaintop removal permits and found them unacceptable, according to internal government reports.
The U.S. Office of Surface Mining found numerous problems with the permit applications, according to draft OSM reports obtained by The Charleston Gazette.
OSM staffers found the applications proposed valley fills that were too large and mining plans that did not comply with new approximate original contour reclamation guidelines.
Engineers, geologists and hydrologists from OSM also found that applications did not adequately consider potential water quality problems from proposed mining.
"The [application] does not adequately address the hydrologic impacts of multiple seam mining operations," says one OSM report, on a Vandalia Resources Inc. permit application.
Vandalia, a Pittston Coal subsidiary, wants a permit to mine 463 acres along Lily Fork and Sycamore Run in Clay County, according to Division of Environmental Protection records.
"Some, [but] not all of the state water quality standards were discussed," the report says. "The Cumulative Impact Area was not totally defined, such as number of acres or square miles in watershed.
"Discussion of how this operation would prevent generation of [acid mine drainage] was limited," the OSM report said. "Groundwater impacts [were] just barely mentioned, and flooding was not mentioned at all."
In its report, OSM said that Vandalia did not consider all reasonable alternatives to the two valley fills proposed for the mine.
"The applicant needs to include a description of environmental consequences of all alternatives," the report said. "It is important that analyses are presented only for meaningful project impacts.
"The applicant should address short- and long-term impacts; primary and secondary impacts; and residual impacts," it said. "Mitigation should be addressed following the review of impacts for each resource component being evaluated and should be presented for each alternative."

Motorists along Interstate 75 saw the first signs of a new statue of Jesus Christ being constructed at the Solid Rock Church near Monroe.
Construction crews Wednesday erected the first 20 feet of the new statue, which will be 51 feet tall, by building the legs of the structure. Ron Carter, church administrator, said the Lux Mundi statue, which means light of the world in Latin, were will have more sections attached to represent Jesus Christ with outstretched arms.
"It's a reminder for those who go up and down I-75 that Christ is the hope of the world and that he is the light of the world," Carter said. "That's one of the missions of the church — to present Christ to the world and this is one way we do that."
The statue replaces the "King of Kings" or "Touchdown Jesus" statue that was destroyed by fire following a lightning strike on June 15, 2010. The original statue cost about $250,000 to construct, according to news reports.
"It really was an icon in this area," he said. "The congregation really loved the other statue and it received favorable feedback. When it burned down, we received feedback from as far away as China expressing support and sympathy for the loss of the first statue. I think the new statue will engender the same reaction when it's completed."
Carter could not reveal the cost to construct the new statue due to a confidentiality agreement with the artist, Tom Tsuchiya of Cincinnati.
Crews will be back out next week to install the statue's torso section and will return a few more times to erect the arms, head and feet, Carter said. "It has to be ready by the dedication ceremony on Sept. 30," he said.
Carter said the previous statue was constructed with foam and Fiberglas that were flammable.
However, he said that additional precautions have been taken to prevent fire from claiming the new statue. Carter said the new statue will have a higher density foam with a fire retardant and that the outside and inside of the statue will be coated with polyurea, another fire retardant. In addition, the new statue will have a lightning suppression system.
"We've been told that if lightning should strike the new statute, the damage would only be at the point of the lightning strike and the rest of the statue would not catch fire," Carter said.
He said the pieces for the new statue are already shaped but not all of them have been coated with the fire retardant material. Once the statue is completed, the small lake in front of it will be refilled, Carter said.
Carter said the Monroe megachurch has about 3,200 members. He said about 1,700 to 1,800 people typically attend services on Sunday and another 450 to 500 people attend services at its Beechmont Campus.

No, the sky isn't falling. But, as we earthlings were reminded when a large meteor exploded Feb. 15 over Russia, things do fall from the sky.
"This space debris is out there," said Jack Dunn, coordinator of the Mueller Planetarium in Lincoln. "Just mathematically, sooner or later the Earth is going to get hit again."
The Russian meteor, perhaps 50 feet across before it fragmented in midair, is said to be the largest space object to strike the Earth in more than a century.
On June 30, 1908, an asteroid or meteor possibly 65 to 100 feet in size burst in the air three to six miles above Siberia, knocking down 80 million trees over 830 square miles. That "Tunguska event" is the largest impact on Earth in recorded history.
Of course, a city-size asteroid about six miles across impacted the Yucatan peninsula 65 million years ago, which many say led to the extinction of dinosaurs, though the cause of their extinction is still debated.
Scientists, who take a long view, aren't fearful that the end is near. But they know that rocks fall from outer space — including a 165-pounder found in Nebraska.
"It's a big piece, definitely bigger than the fragments found so far in Russia," said geologist Priscilla Grew, director of the University of Nebraska State Museum. "It's extra special to us."
Known as the Bayard Meteorite, it was found in 1982 on a farm near the town of Bayard in the Nebraska Panhandle. For the past year it has been part of a Minerals and Meteorites exhibit at the museum's Morrill Hall, 14th and Vine Streets in Lincoln.
The oval-shaped meteorite measures about two feet across. It consists of mostly stony material, with enough nickel and iron to make it magnetic.
"It's wonderful — I would say priceless," said geologist R.M. Matt Joeckel, who curated the exhibit. "It's pretty unusual to find one that big, that easily, without having to dig. There's a little bit of romance about this."
"It sends a chill up and down my spine," he said. "It's a fantastic, almost magical, realization that the rocky planets, the asteroids and the stony meteorites are made of the same general kind of stuff."
The heavens long have inspired mankind's poetry, music, wonder and romance.
Who hasn't stargazed far from the lights of cities, pondering the Milky Way?
Or smiled at the Man in the Moon? Or wished upon a falling star?
Or just wondered what's "out there"?
Some UFO enthusiasts even speculate that an alien object shot down the recent Russian meteor.
The Bayard Meteorite is authenticated, but Joeckel said that every year in his nearly 13 in Nebraska, people have brought in objects that they fervently hoped were meteorites. When told they are not, folks are deeply disappointed.
"Sometimes people are crestfallen," he said. "Sometimes they are angry and argumentative."
Grew, the museum director, said geologists refer to people's hoped-for look-alike rocks as "meteor-wrongs," as opposed to meteorites.
She said the museum also displays a meteorite that fell in 1948 in Furnas County, Neb., causing a sonic boom that broke windows. That was an observed "fall," while the Bayard Meteorite is termed a "find."
"I think any meteorite is exciting," she said. "Just to think that they have traveled through outer space."
Art Struempler, a chemistry professor at Chadron State College, said he discovered the Bayard Meteorite while sorting through a junk pile on a farm owned by him and his family in Scotts Bluff County. For years after that, the rock was kept in Chadron.
Columnists Michael Kelly, Erin Grace and Matthew Hansen write about people, places and events around Omaha in their new blog, From the Notebook. |
A B-17 pilot who flew 26 missions over Germany during World War II, Struempler died in 2004 at age 83.
His son, Mike Struempler of Fort Collins, Colo., loaned the meteorite to the state museum in Nebraska at the suggestion of Mark Brohman, a longtime friend who is director of the Nebraska Environmental Trust and a board member at Morrill Hall.
Struempler said he believes that the meteorite is about the 27th-largest on record. It can remain indefinitely at the Nebraska museum, he said, the main condition being continued excellent security.
"It's cool to have it in the family," he said, "and it's a cool thing to share."
Chadron State College said last year that at the time the Bayard Meteorite was found, it was one of about 2,600 meteorite finds in the world. Most meteors burn up between 30 and 50 miles above land. The meteor that exploded last month over Russia caused a sonic boom that broke glass in buildings and injured about 1,000 people. It wasn't detected in advance, scientists say, because it came from the direction of the sun.
The chilling coincidence was that an asteroid about 150 feet wide was being closely tracked and on the same day flew within 17,150 miles of Earth inside the orbit of some communications and weather satellites.
Earth wasn't in danger, but what if a large asteroid is headed straight for our planet?
Scientists say the best hope is some kind of deflection, possibly by sending up an object whose gravitational pull would nudge the trajectory of the asteroid away from Earth. For now, that is theoretical.
"The important thing is that you have to detect it far out," said Dunn, of the Mueller Planetarium. "We need more telescopes in orbit, and then we need to find a way to go out and test the theories."
Some have wondered about a nuclear strike on an asteroid, but Dunn said "nudging" is the better idea. "The worst would be a nuke. Then we'd be hit by a radioactive rain of meteors."
The best effect from the Russian meteor and the asteroid fly-by on the same day, scientists agree, is that the topic of space debris got everyone's attention.
Even now, Hollywood scripts about Doomsday asteroids are probably in the works.
"I tell all my audiences," Dunn quipped, "not to expect Bruce Willis to hop on a shuttle and stop it. Right now, we just have to thank our lucky stars."

I believe you can download them from Apples website. A quick Google search threw up this - Download BootCamp Drivers for Macs to run Windows 7 or 8 | Chris F Carroll
when I ran bootcamp it automatically downloaded the drivers for the specific hardware and burned a disk for it.
really? These are 6 year old macs. does it support proxy server? I thoguht pressing alt was the option if you wanted to boot from disc?
Ok thanks, does anyone else have the drivers please?
Only Mac's from 2010 onwards have the Internet Recovery feature.
If your iMac's are from 2006, your model ID will probably be iMac5,1 so you will need these drivers.
Last edited by Arthur; 12th December 2012 at 02:41 PM.
I don't think so - the links on my website that JonThompson quotes are not update packages, they are the drivers (or as Apple calls them, "Windows Support Software") that you need.
However, for opening the downloaded pkg file a machine with no OS X, you do also need the instructions on Opening a BootCamp driver download or other pkg or dmg file on Windows 7 or 8 with 7-Zip | Chris F Carroll
Cheers, Chris
The link you have posted are for specfic devices, none of them are the correct one. Ideally i just need the snow leopard bootcamp drivers as these work.
Source yourself a replacement disc?

More to the point, why have iMacs running just Windows? :-S

Ringo Starr is set to get animated in a special one-off episode of hit children's TV show 'The Powerpuff Girls.'
The crime-fighting trio is returning to Cartoon Network eight years after the classic series came to end, and Starr will make a cameo appearance as a "flamboyant mathematician".
He has also recorded an original track, 'I Wish I Was A Powerpuff Girl,' for the episode, which will air later this year.
Starr is no stranger to lending his voice to kids' TV shows - he narrated beloved British series 'Thomas & Friends' (aka 'Shining Time Station' in the U.S.) from 1984 to 1986.

RBS secures court victory in rate swaps case
by Daniel Grote on Dec 24, 2012 at 10:38
Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) has won what is believed to be the first High Court case relating to alleged mis-selling of interest rate swaps, according to reports.
High Court judge David Wacksman dismissed hotelier Paul Rowley and business partner John Green's claim against the bank, which alleged RBS mis-sold them an interest rate swap in May 2005 as a form of insurance against their existing loan liabilities.
According to the ruling, the swap performed well until the financial crisis in October 2008. When the pair asked in 2009 about the costs of terminating it, they learned it could cost as much as £138, 650.
Wacksman said: 'Because of the credit crunch, the ensuing parlous position of RBS, and the taking of the wholly unforeseeable step of increasing margin significantly, it transpired that the protection given by the swap was not complete… but none of that means that the swap was an unsuitable product back in May 2005.'
1 comment so far. Why not have your say?
Dec 24, 2012 at 11:50
But is not the question, " Were the clients informed what could go wrong with these swaps or not? " if not not then the risks were not explained, then it was miss sold !

The Ham-Wasserman Lecture, named in honor of renowned hematologists Drs. Thomas Hale Ham and Louis R. Wasserman, is given annually by an individual from outside the United States who has contributed significantly to an area of hematology. This year's honorary lecturer is Professor Melvin Greaves from the Institute of Cancer Research in Sutton, England.
This year the world celebrates the 200th anniversary of Charles Darwin's birth and the 150th anniversary of the publication of his groundbreaking book, On the Origin of Species. Thus, it is timely and fitting that Prof. Greaves has been selected to give the 51st Ham-Wasserman Lecture. His research focuses on understanding the origins of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and is built on — or more appropriately evolved from — Darwin's principles of natural selection. He has explained his work to the scientific community in a multitude of papers. Scientists and nonscientists alike have been enthralled with his book, Cancer: The Evolutionary Legacy, which provides an evolutionary biologist's perspective on cancer.
In a series of elegant studies Prof. Greaves has demonstrated how many cases of childhood ALL can be traced to in utero genetic events. The support for this hypothesis comes from monozygotic twin studies, examination of newborn blood spots, and analysis of umbilical cord blood. Prof. Greaves and colleagues reported the concordance rate for ALL in a series of monozygotic twins. They found that in infant ALL the concordance rate is almost 100 percent and 10 percent to 15 percent in B-cell precursor ALL. It was established that the vascular sharing afforded by the placenta resulted in blood chimerism. This work has been supported by a series of chromosomal investigations using stored neonatal blood spots (Guthrie cards) and umbilical cord blood. PCR testing of Guthrie cards and cord blood identified associated chromosomal abnormalities from children who were healthy at birth and developed ALL later in childhood. Additionally, leukemic chromosomal abnormalities were identified in the neonatal blood spots of children who did not develop leukemia. These studies and other work that Prof. Greaves will present led to a two-step model for the development of some childhood ALL with the first chromosomal change taking place in utero and secondary postnatal genetic changes occurring later in childhood. Prof. Greaves will provide rationale for why some children with neonatal leukemic chromosomal abnormalities develop leukemia while the vast majority of children remain healthy.
In On the Origin of Species, Charles Darwin wrote, "Nothing before had ever made me thoroughly realise, though I had read various scientific books, that science consists in grouping facts so that general laws or conclusions may be drawn from them." The Darwin-esque explanation of the origins of childhood leukemia by Prof. Greaves calls to mind the same sentiment and promises to educate and inspire. Charles Darwin would be proud.
Dr. Duncan indicated no relevant conflicts of interest.

HOUSTON, April 8 (Reuters) - Southern California Edison, operator of the damaged San Onofre nuclear station in California, submitted a license amendment request late last week to speed efforts to gain regulatory approval to restart one reactor in June, the company said on Monday.
SCE, a unit of Edison International, wants to operate Unit 2 at 70 percent power for five months as a way to prevent additional degradation of thousands of tubes inside the unit's two steam generators.
Both San Onofre nuclear units have been shut since January 2012 following a small radioactive steam leak at Unit 3 which indicated a serious problem with accelerated degradation of tubes in the units' brand new steam generators manufactured by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.
The utility has asked the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to act on the amendment by the end of May to allow the restart process to begin by June 1. SCE said it wants the unit to be available to bolster grid reliability in Southern California when power demand climbs with warmer weather and increased air conditioning use.
SCE operates San Onofre for its owners: SCE (78.21 percent), Sempra Energy's San Diego Gas & Electric (20 percent) and the city of Riverside (1.79 percent).

Sissypants Suing Over Exploded iPod Touch
A 17-year old and his family are suing Apple after an iPod Touch allegedly blew up in the sissy's pocket and caused 2nd degree burns.
It claims the boy had his i-pod touch off and in his pocket at school on December 4th, when he heard a pop and felt a burning sensation.
The lawsuit is seeking more than 200-thousand dollars in damages.
Pfft, I've got some 2nd degree burns but you don't see me trying to sue Cup Noodles. No, I think there's more to this story than the family is telling us. Namely, their house is about to be foreclosed and there was a reciprocating saw involved in the explosion. Elementary my dear, Watson. Now, fetch me a glass of the good stuff and come sit on Sherlock's lap.

My photographic art style is influenced by the fine art painting techniques the masters beautifully perfected during the Renaissance. The smoky 'sfumato' brush strokes applied to create perceptions of depth, form and volume. Deep, rich colors that evoked emotions and an endearing connection to the arts.
All of my art begins as original photography of nature and earth. Through selectively applied brush strokes, textures, color and light, I aim to achieve the painterly feel of the Renaissance in my photographic art reproductions. I hope they instill a calm, peaceful, connected feeling to the world around you.
More artwork can be viewed at enchantedearthfineartphotography.com which is a sub-gallery in pawsonlypetphotography.com (use website link above.) If you see something that you would like posted here for purchase, please send me an e-note with the artwork title.
Thank you for stopping by... I hope you enjoy your visit!

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- State highway officials say West Virginia's bridges are safe despite dozens that are both in disrepair and at risk of collapse if hit hard enough in the wrong place.
An Associated Press review of federal records found that 178 West Virginia bridges have been designated "fracture critical" -- they don't have redundant protections and are at risk of collapse if a single, vital component fails -- and "structurally deficient" -- in need of rehabilitation or replacement because at least one major component of the span has advanced deterioration or other problems.
Experts say the combination of red-flag categories is particularly problematic.
At least three of those West Virginia bridges were along interstates -- two on I-70 in Wheeling and another along I-64 in Barboursville.
"We go out every day to make sure these bridges are safe to the traveling public," state Department of Transportation senior bridge engineer Billy Varney said. "I have family that drives across these bridges as well. If we felt that there were safety issues, we wouldn't be putting the public on those bridges."
Among the state's 10 highway districts, bridges that are both structurally deficient and fracture critical were more likely to be found in the southern part of the state, where coal mining and truck traffic is prevalent. There were 26 such bridges in the district encompassing Fayette, Greenbrier, Monroe, Nicholas and Summers counties, and 25 such bridges in the district that includes Cabell, Lincoln, Logan, Mingo and Wayne counties.
Nationally, the AP review identified nearly 7,800 bridges nationwide falling in both categories. The AP reviewed data involving 607,380 bridges in the National Bridge Inventory, which are subject to National Bridge Inspection Standards
The federal government requires states to inspect bridges at least every two years, a mandate inspired by the 1967 collapse of the Silver Bridge linking Point Pleasant to Ohio that killed 46 people.
The AP review found that 80 of the 178 West Virginia bridges had been inspected in the previous two years, 87 in the previous year and one in the previous three months. State transportation department spokesman Brent Walker said inspections are done more frequently when specific problems or deficiencies are found.
Inspectors look at three primary components: the steel beams and trusses, the support structures beneath them, and the roadway itself.

Has new stage one jet kit and carbs were tuned and cleaned while it was apart. Also put a set of bike master air filters on it similar to k&n.. Had a set of clutches put in also. The seats were redone adding a little extra cushion and getting rid of the buttons that were on them and back seat is extra wide for the passenger. Added new brakes. Also put new corbin touring seat on. Asking 3100 or trade for jeep or blazer 4x4 toy prefer v8 or travel trailer,what ever it is must be driveable, biking just not for me would rather ride in my jeep with my top down. call or text pics of offers to 616-788-1515 Last edited by cookiemonster; October 7th, 2013 at 11:31 AM.
