Some NH parents would welcome law to keep kids in car, booster seats longer

Car seat guidelinesBirth to 12 months: Keep child in a rear-facing car seat.
1 to 3 years: Keep child in a rear-facing car seat as long as possible. Once the child reaches the top height or weight limit set by the seat manufacturer, the kid should ride in a forward-facing car seat with a harness.
4 to 7 years: Keep child in a forward-facing seat with a harness until the child reaches the top height or weight limit. Then it's time for a booster seat for the back seat.
8 to 12 years: Keep child in a booster seat until the child is large enough to fit in a seatbelt properly. That means the belt should fit snugly across the upper thighs, not the stomach. The shoulder belt should be snug across the shoulder and chest, not crossing the neck or face. Child should ride in back seat because it's safer.

"I always think the longer, the better," she said.
But she would like the law to go even further. "I would strongly urge height and weight (be included)," she said. "Every child is built differently."
Unlike Maine, New Hampshire doesn't include a weight requirement in its law, according to Pat Moody, manager of public affairs for AAA Northern New England. He testified before a House committee last month.
Moody said the original bill, which he supported, sought to raise the minimum age from the current 6 to age 8, but a House committee last month approved an amendment making it age 7. New Hampshire is one of 18 states that doesn't require booster seats for children between 7 and 8, he said.
But not everybody was sold on changing the minimum age, since for decades parents didn't face such restrictions.
"I don't know how we ever lived," said Brenda Sirois, a retired nurse and current care giver at Tumbleweeds Child Care Inc. in Manchester. "We all should have been dead and thrown out of cars."
She said height and weight should dictate seat requirements.
"The difference between kids is quite amazing, Sirois said. "Some of them, they're just too big for it."
The House last Wednesday voted 224-137 to require parents to use a child restraint system for any kid younger than age 7, rather than the current age of 6. Under House Bill 242, any child reaching 56 inches in height would be exempted, an inch taller than current law. The bill still needs approval in the Senate and the governor's signature.
House Minority Leader Gene Chandler voted against raising the age.
"I think the present law seemed to have worked," he said. "We don't need to tinker with it."
But unlike some colleagues, he said, "I do believe there is a place for having the present law."
Gov. Maggie Hassan's spokesman, Marc Goldberg said: "The governor supports measures to keep our children as safe as possible, including through the use of proper safety measures in vehicles, and she looks forward to hearing from stakeholders and fully evaluating the legislation to update current New Hampshire child safety laws as it is considered by the Senate,"
Goffstown police Capt. Rob Browne likes the proposed change.
"Anything that keeps the kids safe," he said. "We're probably pulling them out a little too early."
The department has two car seat technicians who install car seats and inspect car seats parents placed in their vehicles. About 30 people set up appointments last year, he said.
Manchester firefighter Ryan Lang, one of the department's three car seat technicians, said he would leave it up to legislators to decide. People can make appointments to have their seat installed or inspected. The department conducted 132 inspections and installations last year. (Parents can check with their local fire or police department to see if they offer assistance.)
Lang said some parents "bring the box" for technicians to install the seat. People sometimes install seats and leave too much sliding movement or don't get the correct seat angle. He urged parents to fill out a slip that comes in the car seat box. That form is for a warranty and any future recall notifications, Lang said.
Nina Cullen, owner of the children's store, Nini Bambini in Bedford, sees lots of young children coming into her store carried in car seats.
"The older we can keep them in (a seat) the better," she said. "Some kids you'll find are in booster seats until they're in the third or fourth grade."

Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn signed legislation Wednesday allowing same-sex weddings starting this summer, making President Barack Obama's home state the 16th overall -- and largest in the nation's heartland -- to legalize gay marriage.
The atmosphere was festive at the University of Illinois at Chicago with a family-friendly crowd, musical performances and a stage lined with American, Illinois and rainbow flags.
"We understand in our state that part of our unfinished business is to help other states in the United States of America achieve marriage equality," Quinn said before he signed the bill on a desk once used by President Abraham Lincoln. He said part of that mission was to ensure that "love is not relegated to a second class status to any citizen in our country."
The state's top elected officials from Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan to Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, along with scores of activists and members of the public, attended. Organizers estimated that more than 2,300 attended.
Illinois, where Democrats lead both legislative chambers and the governor's office, legalized civil unions in 2011, but the road to same-sex marriage was bumpy.
When 2013 began advocates hoped Illinois would've been the 10th state, but watched as other states passed it. Gay marriage is allowed in Washington D.C., and 15 other states; Hawaii's governor signed a measure last week.
Even with support from top business leaders, Emanuel, and even a few top Republicans, several lawmakers were resistant to the idea. That included even Democrats in more conservative downstate Illinois and some Chicago-area lawmakers.
"We've realized that to have a forward-looking state, you cannot have backward-looking laws that discriminate against good and talented people, regardless of their sexual orientation," Emanuel said at Wednesday's ceremony.
The measure was fought hard by some of the state's most well-recognized religious figures, including Cardinal Francis George of the Archdiocese of Chicago and the Rev. James Meeks, a former state senator who runs a politically-influential mega church in Chicago.
Meeks was part of a coalition of black pastors who said marriage should remain between a man and woman and sponsored robocalls in several legislative districts and on the airwaves. The opposition placed black lawmakers in the House in a spotlight and several evaded public inquiries on the matter for months.
But proponents launched an equally aggressive campaign with help from unions, the former head of the Illinois Republican Party and the ACLU. They billed the measure as a matter of civil rights and equality for families.
The measure passed the Illinois House earlier this month by a narrow margin 61-54; It needed 60 votes to pass.
But none of that evident Wednesday at the event where the Chicago Gay Men's Chorus performed.
Comptroller Judy Baar Topinka, a Republican, praised the three House GOP members who voted in favor of the measure.
"History will show that we got it right on this one," she said before telling the crowd, "I am available to be a flower girl, and I'll even waive the fee."
Although Illinois once appeared poised to become the first Midwestern state to approve gay marriage in the Legislature, Minnesota did it sooner and started holding its first same-sex weddings over the summer. Iowa allows gay marriages too because of a court ruling, not a legislative vote.
When the law takes effect June 1, same-sex couples can begin applying for marriage licenses. And Cook County --the state's most populous -- has even said it'll be open for business that day even though it's a Sunday.
There's a small chance weddings could take place before then; Legislation is pending that could change the effective date to immediately. Lawmakers aren't expected to gather for regular session until the end of January.
In the meantime, Illinois couples have already started planning.
Aimee Woolery from the Chicago suburb of Berwyn, has been with her partner for 15 years and attended the event with the couple's two children.
"For us, it's the family piece of it, they get some more security," Woolery said, explaining that the couple decided against a civil union when Illinois legalized them in 2011. "We were holding out for marriage in Illinois."
Her 9-year-old daughter, Graysen, said she is excited for her moms to wed.
"I want him to be the ring bearer," she said pointing to her little brother. "And I want to be the flower girl."
For Jim Darby and Patrick Bova, who have been together for more than 50 years, this day was a dream come true.
"I can remember so many times when I was celebrating families' and friends' anniversaries and thinking about how great it would be to celebrate my marriage to Jim. Finally that day has come," Patrick Bova told FOX 32 about the momentous day.
The law doesn't come without some concerns. Peter Breen, Senior Counsel for the Thomas More Society--a law firm that defends marriage and religious rights--says the law doesn't protect everyone.
"The outcome of this act will be litigation, fines, Breen explains. 'It will be firings of those for their religious beliefs don't want to recognize same sex marriages."
For now, LGBT couples are focused on celebrating.
"Today is the day when we can look back at our 5 decades together and say we can finally be newlyweds," Patrick says with laughter.
Many couples are already planning weddings this summer.

KSP Driving Tips Can Save Your Life During Memorial Day Weekend
Date of News Release: 05/22/2006
(FRANKFORT, Ky.) - Traffic on the state's roadways is expected to increase significantly during the upcoming Memorial Day weekend, which traditionally marks the beginning of the summer driving season. Accordingly, the Kentucky State Police (KSP) plans to intensify its traffic safety efforts from 6 p.m. on Friday, May 26, through 11:59 p.m. on Monday, May 29. To increase your chances of surviving highway travel during this dangerous holiday, the law enforcement agency offers this simple advice: slow down, buckle up and don't drive while impaired by drugs or alcohol.
The KSP is now conducting back-to-back intensified enforcement campaigns. "Buckle Up In Your Truck" and "Buckle Up Kentucky -- It's The Law and It's Enforced," started May 14 and continue through June 5.
"We are committed to making drivers of cars and pick-up trucks and their passengers safer in their vehicles," said KSP Commissioner Mark L. Miller.
During the Memorial Day holiday last year, seven people lost their lives on Kentucky roadways. Five of the victims were not wearing seat belts. As of May 21 of this year, 254 motor vehicle occupants have been killed. Of these, 164 were not wearing seat belts.
"Many of these fatalities might have been avoided if the drivers and passengers had followed the advice of highway safety experts," said Miller.
This year's campaigns will include an aggressive focus on drawing attention to seat belt use in pickup trucks.
Studies conducted for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) indicate that occupants of pickup trucks consistently have lower seat belt usage rates than occupants of other motor vehicles. The NHTSA also reports that using a seat belt is the single-most effective action you can take to protect yourself in a vehicle crash. Seat belt use reduces the risk of sustaining a fatal injury by 45 percent in a car and 60 percent in a light truck.
State troopers will be working overtime throughout the Memorial Day three-day weekend, said Lt. Col. Dean Hayes, KSP Operations Division Director.
"The KSP enforcement campaigns coincide with the national Click It or Ticket and C.A.R.E., Combined Accident Reduction Effort, campaigns," said Hayes. " Operations will include radar and laser details as well as increased saturation patrols and traffic safety checkpoints in high-crash, high-traffic locations. We will coordinate enforcement activities with local police and sheriff's departments for maximum coverage."
Motorists should remember to slow down and use caution when they see a law enforcement or emergency vehicle stopped alongside the road with its lights flashing. Kentucky law requires motorists to move over to the lane farthest away from the vehicle if they can do so safely.
Motorists should also be aware that the back seat is the safest place for children to sit, especially in vehicles equipped with passenger-side air bags. Infants and toddlers should never ride in the front seat of a vehicle with a passenger-side air bag. Parents should always be sure that their child's safety seat has been properly installed in the vehicle according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Kentucky law requires all children 40 inches in height or less to be buckled into a child safety restraint seat that meets federal standards. Children over 40 inches tall must wear a seat belt. Violation of this law will result in a $50 fine with an additional $10 fine donated to the Traumatic Brain Injury Trust Fund.
According to NHTSA, properly installed child safety seats reduce the risk of death by 71 percent for infants and 54 percent for toddlers in passenger cars.
Kentucky law makes the driver responsible for assuring that all occupants of the vehicle are properly restrained. Violation of this law will result in a fine not to exceed $25.
Motorists should also be aware that Kentucky has a zero tolerance policy regarding driving while impaired by alcohol. Operating a vehicle with a blood alcohol level of .08 will result in an immediate arrest, even for first-time offenders.
"Impairment can begin with the first drink," said Miller. "Arrest and conviction on impaired driving violations can result in court costs, legal fees, higher auto insurance rates, fines, loss of license and even imprisonment. Don't take the chance. It's not worth it."
Other tips recommended by KSP for safe road travel include:
- Obey speed limits. Excessive speed reduces your ability to avoid a crash, extends your vehicle's stopping distance and increases the severity of a crash when it occurs.
- Slow down in roadway construction zones. Watch for lane closures and merge well before the actual closure. Look for orange warning signs, follow posted speed limits, leave adequate space between vehicles, watch for workers and sudden stops and be prepared for changing road surfaces and traffic patterns.
- Don't tailgate. Follow other vehicles at a safe distance. If you find yourself being tailgated, don't hit the brakes. Slow down gradually and let the other vehicle pass you.
- Avoid aggressive driving behaviors such as passing on the shoulder of the road, changing lanes without signaling, violating traffic signals and weaving in and out of traffic.
- Expect the unexpected. Watch traffic around you and be prepared to react. Scan the road ahead for potential hazards.
- Watch for road debris such as tire treads, garbage, lumber, gravel, tree limbs, mufflers and exhaust parts.
- Take extra care on rural roads with 55 mile per hour speed limits.
- Avoid or minimize in-car distractions such as cell phone use, changing tapes or CDs, eating or other activities that can remove your attention from the road.
- Get enough sleep. Sleep deprivation and fatigue can cause lapses in attention, slowed awareness and impaired judgement.
- Take frequent breaks to keep alert during long distance trips.
- Be extra cautious around large trucks. They have large "blind spots" and much longer stopping distances than passenger cars.
"Please do your part to be safe," said Hayes. "Remember, 80 percent of crashes occur within 20 minutes of home at speeds of 45 miles per hour or less. About 40 percent of all fatal crashes occur on roads where the speed limit is 30 miles per hour or less."
"I strongly urge the traveling public to take heed of these warnings and advice before they start out for the family outing or company picnic," said Miller. "Use your seat belts and slow down. These tips will increase your chances of survival and reduced speed will also improve your gas mileage."
Citizens can further contribute to highway safety during the holiday period by reporting erratic drivers to the KSP toll-free hotline at 1-800-222-5555 (in the state of Kentucky only, does not work out of state). Callers will remain anonymous and should give a description of the vehicle, location, direction of travel and license number if possible.

The Kansas attorney general has dolled out more than half a million dollars to private law firms for defending anti-abortion laws the state enacted last year, the Associated Press reports. The attorney general's office paid $317,000 to a private firm for "helping defend a budget provision denying federal family planning dollars for non-abortion services to Planned Parenthood," spent almost $177,000 on a law imposing new restrictions on abortion providers and expensed $104,000 in tax payer dollars to defend "against a law restricting private insurance coverage for elective abortions." Kansas faced a $493 million budget shortfall last year and to close the deficit, Gov. Sam Brownback (R) proposed $50 million in cuts to education programs.

US military history is filled with units whose names not only convey a whiff of combat — 101st Airborne, First Air Cavalry, 14th Field Artillery — but also describe what the unit did on the battlefield. But what is one to make of an outfit with a name like 23d Headquarters Special Troops?
That unit, consisting of 1,100 troops, was special, all right. The 23d, which served during World War II in England, France, Belgium, Luxembourg, and Germany, is the subject of "The Ghost Army." Written and directed by Lexington resident Rick Beyer, the documentary airs Tuesday night on Channel 2. Peter Coyote narrates.

(WMC-TV) - Luck was definitely a lady for some Mid-South casinos in May, leading to an increase in profits.
Casinos across Mississippi experienced four consecutive months of low numbers, but they are finally seeing a boost.
It is no secret that one of the biggest tourism drivers for the area is the casino industry. That is what brought the Smith family to Tunica County from Alabama.
"As long as I don't lose I'm fine," said Ira Smith.
Unfortunately, tourists like Ira Smith have not been generating as much revenue for the casinos since the floods two years ago. But last month's numbers revealed the first year over year improvement in 2013.
Webster Franklin with the Tunica Convention and Visitors Bureau says new promotion campaigns are working.
"Our properties are doing a great job with promotions right now, so we're seeing a lot of people come into the summer season," said Franklin.
Robby Cole agrees that the campaigns could be working. He sat down at a blackjack table full of people from Georgia Thursday night.
"The two on the right were from north Georgia and the guy on my left was actually from Dahlonega, Georgia," he said.
Revenue from 18 Mississippi River casinos jumped more than $7 million from April to May.
Franklin hopes the numbers keep coming to furnish checks for those who really need them in Tunica County.
"It's the paycheck that turns over in the economy from the 11,000 casino employees that are working here," he explained.
Tourism leaders hope additional promotions and events this summer like the Delta Country Jam will bring more people down to the area to spend some money and maybe even win some too.

Designing B-field Coils from the Inside-Out
C.B. Crawford[1], Y. Shin[1], and G. Porter[1]
[1]Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Kentucky, Lexington, Kentucky, USA
Traditionally the design cycle for magnetic fields involves guessing at a reasonable conductor / magnetic material configuration, using FEA software to calculate the resulting field, modifying the configuration, and iterating to produce the desired field. Our method involved solving the classical Laplace equation on regions with imposed boundary conditions, which was implemented straightforwardly ...

S.M. Musa[1], and M.N.O. Sadiku[1]
[1]Prairie View A&M University Networking Academy, Prairie View, Texas, USA
This paper presents the quasi-TEM two-dimensional (2D) approach for the analysis of multiconductor transmission lines interconnect in single and two-layered dielectric region using the finite element method (FEM). FEM is especially suitable and effective for the computation of electromagnetic fields in strongly inhomogeneous media. We illustrate that FEM is as suitable and effective as other ...
The Effect of a Correlated Surface Roughness and Convection on Heat Conduction
A.F. Emery[1]
[1]Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington, USA
Heat conduction through a slab, 0 ≤ x ≤ W is one dimensional. However, if one of the edges, say x=0, is rough the conduction will be two dimensional. The two dimensionality varies with the correlation length with a maximum at a length approximately 10% of the slab width. The maximum percentage standard deviation of the flux is of the order of 3 time that of the roughness. Monte ...
Viscous damping of a periodic perforated MEMS microstructure when the Reynolds' equation cannot be applied: Numerical simulations
D. Homentcovschi[1], and R.N. Miles[1]
[1]Department of Mechanical Engineering, SUNY Binghamton, NY
This paper develops a computational model for determining the total damping coefficient for a unit cell of a MEMS microscale device containing a repetitive pattern of holes. The basic cell of the microstructure is approximated by an axi-symmetric domain and the velocity and pressure fields are determined from solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations using the finite element software package ...

Backpacker Magazine – October 2008
When a storm comes out of nowhere, learn how to handle the unexpected.
Packing/Planning | Reading the Weather/Deciding to Stay or Go | Surviving the Night/Pitching a Tent/Building a Fire in the Snow
3. Reading the weather
WRONG: Ignore those clouds building on the horizon–the summit is just an hour away!
RIGHT: Watch for thick, dark, anvil-shaped clouds. If bad weather seems to be blowing in, stop and do a "pre-mortem": If a storm obscures visibility, will you be able to find your way back down? Will you be exposed to lightning? Keep track of warning signs, such as dropping temperatures and increased winds, and use them to convince summit-fevered partners to turn back.
How to spot a coming storm
A. Altostratus: These high, gray clouds often cover the entire sky and indicate prolonged rain or snow is on the way.
B. Nimbostratus: These low, thick, gray clouds block most sunlight and usually bring steady, light- to medium- intensity rain or snow.
C. Cumulonimbus: These towering, anvil-shaped clouds can produce lightning, snow, heavy rain, and hail.
4. Deciding to stay or go
WRONG: Strike out blindly into the storm, trying to feel your way to safety in a whiteout–you have to get outta there, no matter what!
RIGHT: "If the weather's so bad that you can't see the trail, you should wait it out," says Brown. Mark your location on your map or GPS, put on extra layers, then find or build shelter.
What a dumb story - is it from Readers Digest?
Typical new BM - I've been laughing about it since 2008 when it came out. Story starts "what began as an October dayhike", that October as in Fall. How ridiculous then that the first WRONG scenario starts with "packed basic summer gear" or something like that.
Fall is not Summer.
Would like to see articles about those plants that could sustain life in the woods , while lost . Like Tanner Lowe suggested .
Would like to see articles about those plants that could sustain life in the woods , while lost . Like Tanner Lowe suggested .
Good everyday common sense article that new Hikers should memorize and from what I have seen, old experienced hikers too.
One suggestion if I may so add. I would NOT advise setting up an emergency camp under a Needle bearing Tree or build a fire under one for longer than an half an hour or so. The heat will melt the snow sitting on the branches above you which might just slide off and land on your fire and or on you. For a Gear suggestion, I have carried one of those Sportsman's Blankets with a nuetural green on one side and reflective Aluminum on the other since they were introduced, which I used more often than a tarp, in fact I stopped carrying a Tarp all together. Also one of the new Emergency Sleeping Bags that comes in the Orange sack and is reuseable on all my Dayhikes..
I also carry a Knit Hat to replace the Ball cap most of us wear. The Knit Hat is a lot warmer and conserves all that heat coming off your head.
nice article, however,it's just common sense that fills this article
Very good, common sense advice. Keep up the good work.
I have very much enjoyed your articles on surviving a variety of situations. However, I have not heard or found any articles on edible plants and could sustain life in the wilderness and being able to differentiate them from the inedible. Another article that could be very beneficial would be learning about medicinal plants.

In today's world security, compliance and process efficiency are indispensable for a business. Every business public or private realizes the need to create an environment that is compliant with Security and Auditing Requirements by continuous monitoring and tracking. This is with the objective to satisfy
IT Managers are designated critical roles to ascertain necessary compliance requirements are met and to ensure that every constituent in the network is functioning smoothly by continuously monitoring them.
One or more IT administrators / helpdesk technicians have to be engaged so that they keep on a constant vigil on changes (tracking and monitoring changes) in the Active Directory Day in and Day Out. This is primarily to identify any possible threats or security breaches. They are also required to assess the tasks delegated to a helpdesk member and other users. Status of the completion of delegated tasks and any abuse of additional privileges must be strictly monitored. Which otherwise might lead to serious consequences.
ADAudit Plus web based Active Directory Auditing and Reporting Solution arms administrators with the most necessary reports to facilitate easy access to information and proactively take any corrective action, if necessitated.
For security reasons critical resources in the network like the Domain Controllers, Member Servers etc., are given access rights only to a selected list of trained and trusted IT staff - other users are strictly restrained from access. However, miscreants try to enter those restricted accounts and cause damage. It is all important to spot who these unprincipled elements are, warn and also take action against them inorder to prevent any such attempts in future. ADAudit Plus lists the entire information on users who have last logged on or have attempted to unauthoritatively access critical resources in the domain with all details required for interpreting the type of attack made, thus helping determine the cause.
It is of utmost importance to identify any lapse in security i.e.) to know if any change has happened on any important domain object or policy changes have been made. A security lapse could have occurred as a result of susceptible accounts or intentional attack by malicious intruders. Some accounts might have been compromised due to attacks and identifying them is critical, else remediation will not be possible.
ADAudit Plus reports on every change that occurred in the Windows Active Directory both real time and over a selected period of time. This helps an administrator to know what changes were done on Domain Policies, Security Groups, Groups and other objects in the Domain at any given time. Any unintentional change considered to be a potential security hole can be spotted with the details eloborated in the ADAudit Plus reports, so that corrective measures can be reassured. Also information on who has done such change by intention, mistake or unauthorized access on domain objects can be identified from the reports.
Any desired or undesired action in a network can be configured to be alerted by ADAudit Plus. Logon activity on Domain Controllers and changes done on security groups by any user are critical and command immediate attention by administrators. A delayed action on these vital happenings could pave way for a compromise on the organizations security and hence, they need to be handled at any cost. ADAudit Plus - Active Directory security software addresses this need to immediately gain information on important actions done in the domain, by facilitating comprehensive and easily understandable alerts. The alerts help to proactively identify the cause and prevent an intended security violations.
System administrators and helpdesk users perform account management actions to the level of their delegated privileges. Administrators must have complete knowledge on the tasks delegated to users and supervise privileged user actions. They must know the status of activities done and knowledge on who has done what actions when. ADAudit Plus - Active Directory change tracking software with its comprehensive audit reports on users and administrator activity makes it possible to detect administrative mistakes and human errors. Both real time information and history of each user activity is extracted and exposed. This can be conveniently used to maintain accountability of user actions and remediate when called for.
Organizations need an objective in their approach to satisfy compliance requirements. ADAudit Plus - Active Directory audit and compliance software provides a host of built-in and out-of-the-box reports along with a pre-configurable reports to help address regulatory standards and compliance requirements like SOX, HIPAA, GLBA and more with ease. Download the product for more.

ANGLING: Memorial proves hard for pikemen
6:00am Saturday 25th January 2014 in Sport
Only four fish were caught by the ten anglers fishing the Oxfordshire Pike Anglers Club Memorial Shield at Horseshoe Lake, Lechlade.
Extra water that had gone into the lake and a hard frost made conditions hard.
Best fish of the day was a pike of 13.0.0 caught by Vince Williams on a float-fished dead roach.
A 7.2.0 pike fell to Norman Dearlove, while Tony Hallatt caught a 3lb pike and 1.0.8 perch.
Angling Times journalist Gary Newman is guest speaker at the club's next meeting at Oxford City Football Club next Thursday (7.30pm).
Meanwhile, the charity pike match scheduled for Sunday, February 2 at Linear Fishery has been cancelled due to the high water levels at the Stanton Harcourt venue.
Best Oxon PAC fish so far this season – biggest stillwater pike: Rob Orton 24.8.0, biggest river pike: Martin Allen 12.0.0, junior trophy: Ryan Styles 11.2.0.

CATEGORIES MoviesExtremely buff MMA fighter and former WWE World Heavyweight Champion Dave Bautista has been cast as Drax the Destroyer in "Guardians of the Galaxy." Rumor had it that Jason Momoa of "Bullet to the Head" and "Game of Thrones" fame would be fighting baddies across the galaxy, but alas, fans of Khal Drogo will have to sit tight for now.
Bautista's character Drax is a bald, green-skinned badass who's died several times in his mission to off Thanos, the shadowy villain seen at the very end of "The Avengers." Bautista is only the second person confirmed for the film, which is in pre-production in London according to director James Gunn's Instagram account. Chris Pratt, the "Parks and Rec" actor who showed off some dramatic chops in "Zero Dark Thirty" last year, is playing Star-Lord/Peter Quill, the half-human/half-alien leader of the gang.
Sadly, Rocket Racoon and Groot will be animated, reportedly a combination of CGI and "rotomation," so moviegoers will be cheated of seeing a real raccoon armed with a tiny gun fighting alongside a tree man.
The last of the Guardians who could be played by an actor is Gamora, the "Most Dangerous Woman in the Universe," who's fighting alongside Star-Lord and the others against her adopted daddy Thanos. There have been various Internet rumors about who's in the running for this cool and coveted role, but that's about all. Given how much chatter there's been about casting Drax and Star-Lord, it's entirely possible that fans have just picked some names out of a hat and gone from there.
"Guardians" is one of the stranger comics in the Marvel universe, and although it has some crossover with "The Avengers," it's not clear if the two streams will cross. Whatever happens, it will definitely be interesting given Gunn's previous output.
If you're dying for a glimpse of Drax in the flesh, you can see Bautista in "The Man with the Iron Fists" and the upcoming "Riddick" this fall.
"Guardians of the Galaxy" is scheduled to hit theaters on August 14, 2014.

I was in Zeitgeist on a Friday summer evening, at a planning meeting for the 20th anniversary of Critical Mass, when I first heard about the idea of kicking off the celebration week with a renegade bicycle ride over the Bay Bridge.
The people who first shook up the city's commute two decades ago were going to take the idea of seizing space from cars a step further — and fulfill a longtime cyclist fantasy. They were going to take the bridge.
Chris Carlsson, the author/activist who helped found Critical Mass and has evangelized the concept around the world, reminded me of this super-secret ride last Wednesday when I finally got around to starting my reporting for this story. I was surprised that I'd forgotten about it — but yes, I told him, I still wanted to be there.
"This will galvanize our sense of the week," Carlsson told me, explaining that Critical Mass has always been about "opening up a space for a conversation," whether it's about how urban space is used or who gets to make that decision.
"There is a real necessity to have a place for people to start thinking creatively. That's Critical Mass's enduring contribution, 20 years ago and today."
What started in September 1992 with 48 cyclists pedaling together through San Francisco has become an enduring worldwide phenomenon. On the last Friday of every month, without leaders or direction, this group bike ride simply meanders through the streets, riders smiling and waving at motorists often perplexed at the temporary alteration of traffic laws by a crowd too big to stop or ignore. While views of Critical Mass may differ, the conversation about urban cycling that it started has had an undeniable impact on how people see cities and their power to shape them, placing it high on the list of San Francisco's proudest cultural exports.
Last Friday evening — a week before thousands of people are expected to show up for the 20th anniversary ride Sept. 28 — I rode over to a meeting in the back of the art gallery at 518 Valencia, the welcome center for the week. The first international arrivals were there: four Europeans who flew to Mexico City, where most of them built tall bikes to cycle up to San Francisco for the anniversary ride, arriving last week after a four-month trek.
They were veterans of Critical Mass events all over Europe, which borrowed the concept from the Bay Area, and they were happy to be going back to its core.
Andrea Maccarone is a 31-year-old Italian who lives in Paris when he isn't bike touring, which he does quite a bit, last year riding to consecutive Critical Mass events in Paris, Toulouse, Rome, and Madrid. "It began here and spread everywhere," he said. "A lot of my lifestyle — I've been a bike messenger and worked in bike kitchens — is based on what started here."
His French girlfriend, Marie Huijbregts, described a cultural happening that began when she was 8 years old. "It's a political movement of cyclists to release the streets from the cars," the 28-year-old told me. "It's environmental, do-it-yourself, and a great way to meet people."
She said she wanted to be here "because it's supposed to be the biggest one and all the world was invited. It's symbolic and I wanted to be a part of it."
Carlsson has watched the event he helped popularize spread to hundreds of cities around the world, from the Biciletada in Sao Paulo to the Cyklojizda in Prague. He loves to see young people who have been energized by Critical Mass and the larger renegade cyclist movement that grew up around it — from DIY bicycle kitchens and art bikes to creative political actions that seize public spaces — "who dream of San Francisco with stars in their eyes."
as a response to the first gulf war.
During the first gulf war messengers would ride down Market on Fridays blowing whistles and yelling opposed to the war. As time wore on it was co-opted by catch all bonged out Hippies like Steve Jones.
SF has such a high turn over of bongists that these points are lost.
Thanks for the story, Steve. Critical Mass changed my life, it's changed this city, and it's changed the world . . . and all for the better! Happy Birthday Critical Mass!
Critical Mass has ridden together every month for 20 years. In that time, thousands of people have taken part. Many of those people were inspired by their experience on Critical Mass to change their lives, and to change San Francisco and the world.
What happens is that people ride with us, and they see their personal transportation choice has a political, social dimension. They realize they are part of a wider movement towards human-powered transport, towards a healthier, more social way of life, towards cities that are human scaled. They see that San Francisco could be more like Amsterdam, more like Copenhagen. And many of them decide to fight for it.
This is why this idea has spread to so many cities around the world, and continues to contribute to bike culture in Berlin, Paris, Rome, Jerusalem, Melbourne, Kuala Lumpur... It's a good idea, and it started here.
Is it perfect? You'll have many, many comments here explaining why Critical Mass is not perfect. But people are flawed, democracy is messy, and changing the world is not for the weak at heart.
This is how you change things: bring people together and give them a chance to express their hope for a better world, and to put their politics into action. And don't do it just once. Do it regularly. How about once a month? How about regularly every month for 20 years? That's a start.
adults are required to understand that the antics of children are to be judged on that level.
"Critical mass" went from an anti-gulf war protest,to a catch all entitlement for spoiled middle class whiners with entitlement issues. When I was still a messenger in the 90's we would all laugh at the A-holes who would come to town to "protest" whatever it was they were protesting.
I remember sitting in the offices of Silver Bullet in Bryant on Friday's with some of the actual people who started the Friday rides that became "Critical Mass" and laughing about what lemons you all are.
The actual people who started the Friday rides that Steve now attributes to someone else all lost interest by the time it became tragicomic.
Riding a bike, which I do every day, just something I do, likely longer than you have been a bonged out entitled SF hippy. like Steve Jones.
It is interesting, riding a bike is about being a born again?
So, when a bunch of bike messengers protested the gulf war, that was all good. But when non-bike messengers or out-of-towners protest, they are "whiners" "A-holes" and "lemons" who are throwing tantrums?
for sure.
Great article Steve!
CM has so much wrong with it that it is easy to lose sight of its essential rightness: making a few hours of rolling, passive resistance to the carbon-spewing, sprawl-inducing, road-rage world we have made for ourselves.
i <3 CM for all the good times and all the necessary statements it has made even as I recognize all the problems that some of its participants cause.
Big thanks to Chris Carlsson & Hugh D'Andrade for all they have done & continue to do for all of us!
.ps Have you ever noticed that Critical Mass, like Burning Man, has so much greatness going for it, as well as so much downside.
"Andrea Maccarone is a 31-year-old Italian who lives in Paris when he isn't bike touring, which he does quite a bit, last year riding to consecutive Critical Mass events in Paris, Toulouse, Rome, and Madrid. "
The Italian is a super nice guy. Why do you have to hate on everything?
Did I comment on whether he was a nice guy or not? I bike every day all the time because it is sustainable and keeps me healthy. For most of us, there is nothing sustainable about moving between European capitals and traveling the world to tour by bike. Most of us are just struggling to get by under long-term deteriorating economic conditions. I'm not saying don't fly, just don't fly and say that you're promoting sustainable transportation because it is not. That is like being proud that you're cleaning up, quitting smoking, but not dropping that minor heroin habit.
When the economically privileged occupy our neighborhoods, the SFBG rightly raises concerns. Does being economically privileged get you a pass when you fly to bike tours? I mean, the relative production of atmospheric carbon from one air trip to bike tours dwarfs that of the longest daily commutes in the Bay Area by orders of magnitude.
One reason why I've only done Critical Mass once, that would have been ten years ago today, is because I put my life on the line every day to ride every day and my idea of a good time is not intentionally irritating motorists and riding through stopped traffic belching fumes. I get enough of that cycling every day, thanks.
But I am glad that CM is there. I'd ride today if I was in town. I'd ride the NYC CM if it was not raining here today and did not have family commitments. Biking, like driving in Manhattan, is really like a adrenaline fueled roller coaster ride.
Oh, yeah, that and my partner and I are getting fucking married (again) this weekend, this time legally and for keeps! We got the license yesterday and will celebrate with our families this weekend. That, and the Harry Hay conference will celebrate the 100th anniversary of his birth at The Stonewall Inn tomorrow nite. Good times!
Critical Mass may have started as a way to get commuters out of cars, but it's turned into a bicycle-bigotry fest. As a pedestrian, I've been nearly run down by bicycles numerous times. As a user of mass transit (Muni), I've also seen Critical Mass bicyclists taunting and even stopping buses.
Feet before wheels, even if the wheels are on bikes.
they do nothing but annoy people trying top get to their homes after work!! they are nopthing but self centered imbeciles! Cetainly NOT to be "celebrated".
I;m a bike commuter and detest critical mass for many reasons, but tried to overcome my dislike by riding with them. While waiting for the ride to begin, I observed a prosperous-looking gentleman unpack his expensive racing bike from his big new suv, put on a fancy helmet and presto! Instant fire-breathing anarchist! After the ride began. I observed this shmuck and several of his friends cursing and threatening motorists who were just trying to get home on a Friday night. After three blocks, I'd had enough. If I were king of the forest, there would be no critical mass, no bike lanes, no pretentious bike events,and especially no well-healed creeps causing unnecessary problems for the rest of us.
pretentious bike events in forests! raaaaage!
Have a ball, fatso. And don't forget to bring your Hummer so you can get out of the forest.
I never roll out of bed without it.
I don't like the Blue Angels, so I leave town. I'm not into parades, I know where they are, I avoid them. Most last Fridays I want nothing to do with Critical Mass so I stay home. San Francisco doesn't revolve around me or you. Whether you hate Mass, love it, or neutral, it exists, just like crowds on game night or noisy low-flying jets. Plan accordingly. It's simple.
every time. Hard to avoid it if you don't know where it is going to be.
Somehow I have survived 68 years. I have lived in SF for 40 of them. I have never owned a car. A bicycle has been my only mode of transportation, along with Muni and the occasional cab when I'm feeling flush. Work or play I pedal away. During the years I was a home visit Hospice Nurse I would bike all over the city to see my patients. The highlight was when Muni added bike racks and I no longer had to pant and push up the hills of North Beach, Pac Heights etc. I salute the Bicycle Coalition for the excellent work they continue doing, despite the opposition of one particular person who shall remain nameless.
What self-important bozos there are, folks who claim moral superiority based solely on their chosen mode of transportation. A monthly celebration of mob rule, sanctioned and protected by the SF Police....
Mandatory Bike helmet laws - NOW!

Voyager Knit Seamed Jersey Dress 184 189
A Must Have I originally purchased this dress in navy and just got it in black. I've acquired many tank dresses over the years, but this one passes them all. The fabric is such that it has body, even though it's lightweight. It packs and wears like a dream. The bias-cut panels drape flat and look well with a jacket or blouse layered over. The skirt has just enough flair to be graceful and flash a little "kicky spirit" when you walk. The scoop neckline is just high enough to peek above a V-neck blouse, creating a matching tank and skirt look without the fuss of wearing two pieces. This is a real go-to, feel-good dress. I get compliments every time I wear it. August 22, 2014
Very disappointing I have this dress in navy and love it. Very disappointed in the eggplant, the fabric is thinner, does not hold it's shape, neckline constantly sags. August 18, 2014
Flattering & comfortable This dress is exactly what I wanted. The fit is spot on and very flattering with or without a belt. No gaping armholes or droopy neckline. It fits close to the underarm so your bra doesn't show, but not at all tight - I'm very picky about this. The fabric drapes nicely and doesn't wrinkle. I bought the navy for a classic look and may buy another color. It's a very good buy. August 13, 2014
Not a bulge shows! I received this dress today and just love it. The color (eggplant) is rich and beautiful, and the fit is just divine. I am 69 years old, 5'2", weigh about 125 pounds, and I bought the Petite Small. The dress fits perfectly and not a bulge shows, in fact this is the most flattering dress I've had in a long time. The length is perfect, too. I bought the dress for an upcoming trip to Spain where the summer temperatures are killers and will be glad to have this beautiful dress to throw on for both daytime and evening while staying as cool as possible. The bonus is that it will be wonderful for summer at home, too. This is the first Travel Smith dress I've bought but it won't be the last. August 12, 2014
Not what I imagined I bought this dress in black and the material makes it look like a night gown. It was quite large and very long, even in a petite size. I wanted to love it, but it didn't work for me. This may be the first item I've ever returned to TravelSmith. August 12, 2014
Shoulders slide off Material was definitely wrinkle free for packing, and I liked how the dress fit mostly. But the shoulders slid outward too easily when moving normally so my bra straps were showing. Not so classy. I sent this one back. August 11, 2014
over all perfect, size, quality, everything is how it should be. August 4, 2014
Love voyager knit! First the good points. I love the voyager knit fabric which packs like a dream and dries over night and does not wrinkle. Second the bad points. The under arm hole were gapping and stuck out about 2" under each arm. I would have altered it, but I felt the dress was not as figure flattering as other voyager knit dresses that "wrap at the waist. If you a big busted you will probably like the fit. I wanted to love it, but will send it back. August 1, 2014

A copy of your purchase receipt (please do not send the original) or your order number, name & address
Your daytime telephone number and return address.
3) Tips on packing your product for return.
To make sure your product is not damaged in transit please follow these packing tips (these steps do not in any way affect your right to cancel):
There are no loose accessories which can knock against the casework and cause damage or become damaged
The product is well cushioned, padded and protected, paying particular attention to corners and edges, especially on heavier items such as speakers or subwoofers, the corners of which can easily suffer damage if knocked or dropped
Any spikes or other removable parts which will stick out and are not fixed when supplied new, are removed and packed safely, prior to wrapping
Mains plugs or other hard, sharp items are not placed so as to create dents and scratches during transit.
4) If you do not have the original packing.
Protect corners with double layers of cardboard
Wrap with at least three layers of bubble wrap or equivalent cushioning
Put in a box slightly larger than the item when wrapped, with sufficient further padding to ensure the item will not move around in transit
Screwed up newspaper and shredded paper make excellent filler for all those gaps (this stops the box getting pushed in against the item) and more tightly packed bubble-wrap/cardboard/Styrofoam on corners, edges & vulnerable areas will keep things safe.
Your parcel has to go through an automated sorting hub, so please follow the above advice to ensure it arrives safely.
Thank you for taking the time to read and follow these instructions.

Fightback after Chancellor signals support for fracking
Campaigners opposed to fracking are writing to First Minister Carwyn Jones and Prime Minister David Cameron to highlight their worries after the Chancellor signalled his support for the industry in yesterday's Budget.
It is thought there is a substantial amount of gas under parts of South Wales, and many local people are concerned about the controversial way it is extracted.
Those representing oil and gas operators have welcomed George Osborne's comments.
Hannah Thomas has been listening to both sides of the argument.
