The parking lot of the New Haven State Police barracks resembles a yard sale this week.There's a boat and trailer, dirt-bikes, power tools, a box of penicillin and maple syrup all on display. Police say they have the markings of a thief. "I've been on the job for 13 years -- this is probably one of the larger stolen property cases that I've seen," said Vermont State Police Lt. Michael Manley."None of us are appraisers but I think we're looking at conservatively, looking at tens of thousands of dollars," said Vermont State Police Det. Cpl. Chris Campbell.Investigators began untangling the thread of alleged burglaries spanning years, and multiple counties, after a Salisbury resident reported a suspicious green truck on Smead Rd. before sunrise Wednesday. Later that morning, police arrested 32-year-old Hans Rumble.Police say the caller reported the suspicious behavior because of a previous theft at the residence. Channel 3 spoke with a neighbor who says she noticed erratic behavior out of her dog that morning but thought nothing of it. Another spoke with Rumble after he knocked on the door, dressed in camouflage, and claiming to be out of gas.Rumble had several outstanding warrants and investigators found opiates and stolen property in his car. Vergennes Police searched his home while state police checked out various storage lockers uncovering the rest. "This case started out as a suspicious vehicle beside the road and this is what it snowballed into, so it's very important for the community to be involved and to call us when they see suspicious activity," Lt. Manley said.Police say it's unclear whether Rumble stole for cash to feed a drug habit or if he worked alone, but they say they still have a lot of evidence to sort through.Rumble's rap sheet is extensive. Police say they caught Rumble in an online sting this summer when he tried to sell a stolen boat motor on Craigslist, but they didn't stumble upon the rest of the goods at that time.

Q: I grew up in Meridian and hunted pheasants on farms throughout the area. I now live in Eagle on the Boise River just up river from Linder Road.
Weve had hunters on the river opening morning until closing day every year here for the past few years.
My home is 100 yards from the river. My neighbors is more like 30 yards from the river.
This year the regulars seem to have moved their blind and the shots are coming directly at my house. Ive had bird shot land on my house and around me while out early morning with my new pup.
We are not in the city limits, and we realize the bird shot probably wont do any damage, but we make it a point to never leave cars out overnight.
The regulars are coming more often this year, and it is getting a little old to have shots blasted toward my house every day.
Ive called Fish and Game to ask what protocol is, and they basically say no laws are broken, but its probably not the most considerate thing.
Ive spoken with Ada County, and they say it is against the law to discharge a firearm in Ada County within 1,000 feet of a residence, yet I dont believe they have ever done more than given a warning.
What do you think?
J. B., via email
A: Yours is the classic example of how the Treasure Valley and the Boise River have changed through development in the last 30 or so years.
Lots of us remember hunting pheasants off Five Mile Road, and hunting ducks just off Glenwood Avenue where the old Strawberry Glen airstrip was. Both areas are now filled with shopping centers.
Until a few years ago, goose hunters were using fields at the corner of Eagle Road and Fairview Avenue in the area that is now The Village at Meridian.
Ill never forget the note I got back then from a reader who was in a nearby restaurant and couldnt believe geese were being shot at across the street.
One of my favorite duck hunting spots 37 years ago was located on the Boise River near Parma. It was a perfect spot where a slough came into the river. One year I came back and a house was built across the river. I never went back.
To me, houses and hunting (and populated areas) dont mix, even if hunters arent breaking any laws. I just feel too uncomfortable hunting close to populated areas.
I think hunters in general should feel uncomfortable shooting too close to houses. I contacted Fish and Game and Ada County, and neither said there was a law against shooting within 1,000 feet of a house in Ada County.
However, there is a law that a hunter can be liable for where his or her shotgun pellets land, and Ada County has a law about shooting recklessly, which can result in a misdemeanor violation.
If a hunters pellets hit a house or car, or go on to private land, he or she can be cited for trespassing. The hunter is also responsible for any damages or injury resulting from the bird shot.
I think hunting is about getting away from it all and being in the boonies. I dont want my bird shot landing in someones yard, or my gun dog trying to retrieve a bird near a busy road.
We all hate losing our prime hunting ground to houses, subdivisions and shopping centers. Its only going to get worse.
Luckily, we have state wildlife management areas fairly close to urban areas that give hunters access in a growing valley. My take again: Houses and hunting dont mix.

A blow against SLAPP suits
By Post Staff
Developers and lawyers who file lawsuits against residents who oppose their projects aren't often brought to justice themselves. But a Palm Beach County Circuit Court judge recently struck a blow against Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation (SLAPP suits).
Developers use such suits, illegal in many states, to silence opponents, who often are intimidated by the expense and stress of defending themselves. The Palm Beach case has many similarities to a developer-initiated SLAPP in Martin County.
In late June, Judge David Crow ordered Palm Beach real estate lawyer Paul Thibadeau to pay the legal fees three neighbors incurred after Mr. Thibadeau sued them for publicly opposing his plan to build a mega-dock near the Jupiter Inlet.
The neighbors, according to their Gainesville lawyer Marcy LaHart, had circulated petitions and sent letters opposing the 270-foot dock to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The Town of Jupiter ultimately denied Mr. Thibadeau permission to build the dock, citing concerns about its location and length.
Ms. LaHart calls the case "a textbook SLAPP suit." Mr. Thibadeau voluntarily dismissed his suit two weeks before trial, which was to begin last November. Judge Crow's June 21 ruling finds the Thibadeau lawsuit frivolous and that Thibadeau's claims against Jeffrey and Andrea Cameron and Doug Bouge were "retaliatory for the defendants' exercise of their constitutional rights."
The neighbors' "freedom to petition their government and speak their minds regarding matters of public concern are among the most basic fundamental constitutional rights guaranteed to the citizens of this state," the judge said in his ruling. His order requires a future hearing to determine the amount of legal fees Mr. Thibadeau must pay his neighbors.
Ms. LaHart calls the ruling "the most vindicating of my whole career."
The case has parallels to the SLAPP suits Martin County developer Bill Reily filed against 20 Jensen Beach residents who wrote letters to the editor and spoke at commission meetings opposing his Pitchford's Landing project.
Mr. Reily eventually dropped his original SLAPP suit, then filed another against nine of the residents, this time including businesses they owned. Seven of the earlier defendants filed a "SLAPP-back" suit accusing him and the law firms filing the SLAPP suits of malicious prosecution.
Both cases eventually were settled out of court in 2009. The terms were confidential, but Jensen Beach opponents described themselves as "well-satisfied."
Attempts to get Florida's legislature to outlaw SLAPP suits have failed repeatedly. Martin County lawyer Virginia Sherlock, who represented the Jensen Beach residents, has proposed legislation that would force such suits before a judge quickly, and, if the suit were only an attack on First Amendment rights, it could not move forward.
At Pitchford's Landing, the disputed Martin development, the property reportedly is in foreclosure. The developer-friendly commission majority recently gave Mr. Reily a time extension to build his project later.
I remember an incident in April, 2008, when Mr. Reily approached me during a recess at a Martin commission meeting. To gloat.
"In spite of everything you wrote," he said, "I won."
Of course, he did win commission approval for his project, and the recent time extension. But his repeated attempts to use lawsuits to silence and intimidate residents have not served him well. Nothing has been built at Pitchford's Landing. The true winners are the residents who refused to cave in to bullying tactics.
So Judge Crow's ruling in the Palm Beach County case is welcome. Making SLAPP suit perpetrators pay legal fees is the only remedy the system offers for now. Unfortunately, some deep-pocket developers consider such awards as just the cost of doing business.
Still, the Palm Beach and Martin County cases are reminders that justice exists in the world.

Remember Me
"Like Communism, Religion is perfect in theory, not in practice." – The "Good" Reverend James Ferda (Yup, I just quoted myself) I truly believe that religion is a mockery of faith. (Now that I have infuriated you, take a breath and read on). Most of us, at birth, are indoctrinated into a religion. From it, we are told not only is it the one true faith but any others are doomed to hell and we are obligated to turn others toward our religion. Now, I know this last statement, in its entirety, is not the same for all religions but you get the idea. This is where I see the devil in the details and how I truly believe that if God's real, then the devil had his hand in religion.
I will not question the existence of God in this article. When you hit the ground bungee jumping and walk away without a scratch, you learn not to doubt that something out there loves you. I'm Catholic myself so with this background, we will focus on Christianity. Sorry, every other religion. Insert sad face here. Obviously, we see in Christianity people believing in Christ and instead of this belief uniting us together, we see a plethora of branches from one idea. I have recently discovered the animosity some Protestants have for Catholicism and vice versa. Yes, I know of the Reformation but what surprises me is that it still exists. Just look at the teaching of Christ for example: the man took the Ten Commandments and condensed them into two. Love God with all your heart and treat others as you want to be treated. Two rules — yet people somehow use the teaching of the Bible to condemn others. For example, Christian animosity towards gay people. Gay people are constantly judged and condemned by preachers and people because certain books of the Bible said it's a bad thing. Yet the subjugation of women and the slavery were all normal and fine. I'm not even going to go into the legitimacy of the Bible, such as how, for the longest time, it was kept alive by oral tradition. Thus, the speaker may have changed some things. Or, the multiple versions that exist because of mistranslation. That's another day, here's a hint: you're not going to like that article either. Now, if Christians actually would follow the two simple rules Jesus gave them, we would see there is no reason to ostracize gays. If you look at the many Christian groups, the groups are only separated by two things; how to worship and some differing of the text of the Bible. During the Reformation, 1517-1648, we saw the rise of the Protestant religion for varying reasons. Catholicism had Mass in Latin, which forced people to not only go to church but to submit to the church in all ways because the church basically held the keys to heaven. There were many other reasons; how the church put saints on pedestals, how the Catholics view Mary, how a priest is needed for God to hear you, how the church fleeced people for all they were worth and how the rich would buy their way into the church's favor and thus into heaven. In general, really bad stuff, yes stuff - that's the technical term. The Church of England was founded because Henry the Eighth really wanted to get a new wife. Catholics were subjected to the same tortures and tribulations that they had previously put Protestants through; burning at the stake, beheading etc. Death and destruction was brought about because of differing views on how to worship. Yes, a good and caring God really cares if you bow or genuflect. "If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things thro' narrow chinks of his cavern" — William Blake (by the way this is where The Doors got their name.) This division over small semantics that lead to holy wars is still seen today with the Shiites and Sunni sects in Islam. Ironically, not one bit of it is because of religious views but political ones. After the death of Muhammad, there rose a question of who would take over after his death. One group said one guy and the other said someone else; thus immense hatred followed. Christians today laugh at this simple division and yet Christianity is so completely splintered over petty semantics. So, who are we to judge? If only Jesus had told Christians something about "he without sin cast the first stone." Sadly, if Jesus had, it was lost with many other messages of peace and understanding that modern Christianity has "misplaced." Modern Christians have chosen to drown out these words of wisdom with saber-rattling ideas: warriors of Christ or how Christianity is under attack and is involved in a holy war with Islam. I get it, two major world religions locked into a first-one-to-blink war that could consume the world. Sounds scary! Thank God the Cold War was nothing like that and it was just surrounded with paranoia and misconceptions. In essence, what I'm getting at is faith isn't bad until people and their egos get involved. Religion is a man-made institution "inspired" by God (insert apprehension here). Here is where we really bring this belief into question. Since we're basing all this on the concept of God, we have to believe in the devil. Look at all the destruction religion has cause from the crusades, wars and in general day-to-day hatred with a tinge of animosity toward everyone who doesn't believe strictly what you believe because obviously your religion is the one true faith. Honestly though, who would join a religion that claimed to be second best in the eyes of their God? So, if religion brings death, destruction and hatred, we can see the corruption and manipulation religion has on faith. All these traits in the previous sentence embody what we are led to believe are evil. So, we can see the Devil is in the details. These small and petty details are still creating animosity, mistrust and hatred between people who have beliefs in the same things. Even If you view all religions together, they all have the same basic concepts: of being a good person and loving God. So, again we see details and semantics creating divisions where there is no need. We are all told we have the one true faith, others are wrong and we must convert them. If that's not a recipe for destruction, what is? The devil's greatest trick was letting us think he didn't exist — in the details. As I finish writing this, I can already hear the pitch forks being sharpened and the townspeople gathering their torches. If I've said something to anger you, well, in all honesty, good, I hope it cut deep. I hope I put a crack in your foundation, though you'll never admit it because if I didn't, what would be the point. Maybe for once instead of outward you found yourself looking inward and in doing so were shaken or enraged by what you saw. Truth is a double edge sword and I have no doubt I will feel the other side of the blade for this but some things need to be said. Maybe if I nail this to a church door, people would listen. Authors Note: For those who did not get the reference, Martin Luther, the father of the Reformation, did this. "If a man is not ready to take risks for his opinions, then it's because either his opinions are worthless or he is." — Ezra Pound

The South Dakota Department of Transportation is advising motorists that travel is difficult across the state due to extremely high winds.
The Department of Transportation is advising motorists to use extreme caution because many semis and vehicles have tipped over on and along roadways, especially in central and western South Dakota.
The Department of Transportation is specifically warning drivers of high-profile vehicles such as semis, trucks, buses and SUVs to use extreme caution.
Gusting winds have pushed trees on several highways and blown down power lines and poles, causing temporary delays until maintenance crews arrive to clear the roads.
Drivers are also reminded of the extreme fire danger and they should not throw cigarettes or other debris from vehicles.
According to the National Weather Service, strong northwest winds of 50 mph—gusting to 70 mph—will persist across South Dakota through much of the overnight hours.

Mackie Designs Inc. has promoted Frank Loyko to senior vice president sales, worldwide. With this announcement, Paul Rice steps down as Mackie's senior vice president of international sales and business development. Loyko will assume global responsibility for sales initiative across all Mackie Designs Inc. brands, while Mackie's marketing group takes over business development initiatives.
"This is the next step in the restructuring plans that Mackie put into motion last November," comments Rice. "We have set the stage for success and I'm confident in the new senior management team's ability to build upon the strong foundation that I have helped to establish over the last year."
"Paul has made considerable contributions to Mackie over the last year and we wish him well as he moves on to new challenges," says Mackie's CEO Jamie Engen.
"I have done what I came to do," continued Rice. "When I joined Mackie in late 2001, I was asked to help establish a series of key strategic partnerships as well as expand the company's sales presence in international markets. Today, Mackie has strong relationships with all of the industry's leading DAW manufacturers as well as a prosperous affiliation with Universal Audio. Mackie has also established much stronger sales resources around the world including dedicated sales offices in Asia."
Loyko, who was most recently Mackie's senior vice president of sales, US, is ready to tackle these new challenges. "Paul has established a rock-solid foundation on which to build a world-class sales organization. In the coming months, I will deploy to the international sales organization the same framework of accountability and process that has already begun producing domestically. In addition, I look forward to teaming with Ken Berger as he and his team assume responsibility for strategic business development."
"Strategic business partnerships became an important part of Mackie's business plan in 2002 and that trend will continue to play out as we move forward," says Ken Berger, Mackie's recenly appointed senior vice president of marketing. "The Universal Audio relationship is a prime example of how we can leverage the strengths and core competencies of other companies in order to augment our own product offering. In working closely with sales, we will be better able to assist in forging a clear product strategy for all of Mackie's brands and deliver relevant, cutting-edge products to the market."

How should copyright policy be reformed in the era of digitization and piracy?
Growth of Internet-based piracy and digitization has made prevalent the question: How should copyright policy be reformed in the digital era? Media firms have lobbied governments for stricter anti-piracy regulations, including shutting down Internet sites that serve as major conduits for pirated content. Brett Danaher of Wellesley College will discuss one such intervention: the impact of the shutdown of the popular Megaupload site on digital sales of movies for one major studio.

Shot 4: Troy Brouwer doesn't understand.
Shot 13: Whatever it takes to stand in front of an Alexander Semin shot, John Erskine's got.
Shot 15: Missed it by *that* much.
Shot 21: Did anyone notice brief periods of rain in Verizon Center last night?
Shot 22: This is how a fight almost no one noticed started.
Shot 24: Sometimes Clyde gets bored and starts playing with the camera.
Shot 25: I guess that looks more painful than it actually was, but I don't want to find out for sure.
Shot 29: From far away and through a camera, this sure looked like an intentional hit to the head.
Shot 30: Tim Wallace had Alex Ovechkin all lined up for this hit.
Shot 39: Semin and Erskine sure look amused by the antics of Marcus Johansson and Jeff Skinner, don't they?
Shot 40: One can only imagine what Semin has to say to Erskine with such passion.
Shot 41: Was it something similar to Semin's retort to Brouwer's comments? We may never know.

Last night, Pima County Sheriff's deputies received reports of an armed robbery at the Circle K located at 4605 W. Valencia Road.
The suspect threatened the clerk with a small handgun and got away with cash, alcohol and cigarettes. Witnesses told deputies the suspect fled in a white Pontiac Sunfire.
A search was launched and the suspect car was seen about 3 miles from the scene near 2840 W. Los Reales Road.
When the deputy tried to pull the car over, the suspect sped away. Deputies chased the car for about a mile.
The suspect then hit road spikes deployed by deputies, deflating the driver's side tires. When the suspect hit a dead end on Camino de Amigos, he fled on foot.
Deputies caught Julio Christopher Martinez, 28. According to deputies, items from the Circle K were found in his car. He was charged with armed robbery, unlawful flight, possession of a narcotic drug and possession of marijuana.

In an op-ed Sunday, Sen. Patrick Leahy, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, addressed critics of his use of blue slips, a committee tradition that Republicans continue to abuse. Under this policy, the chairman asks the Senators from a nominee's home state to submit a blue slip expressing their support or opposition. The consequences have varied over time, depending on who the chairman has been. Leahy's practice has been to not hold a hearing unless both senators submit their blue slips saying they support letting the committee process the application. As Senator Leahy points out
The Constitution requires presidents to seek both the "advice and consent" of the Senate in appointing judges to lifetime posts on the federal courts. … When senators return this paper, it is proof that the senators elected to represent that state were consulted and the nominee is likely to be confirmed.
Leahy states he "cannot recall a single judicial nominee being confirmed over the objection of his or her home-state senators," and affirms the importance of home-state support in moving the process forward.
But Leahy also acknowledges that the "judicial confirmation process in the Senate has grown increasingly difficult," and that Senate practices that bring principles of the Constitution to life do need "ongoing evaluation to make sure they work as intended. And he reiterates that he "would not rule out proceeding with a nomination if the blue slip is abused."
Indeed, since his election, President Obama has routinely sought the advice of senators through the judicial nominations process. It has been a hallmark of his presidency. But too many Republicans have refused to engage in a cooperative process, instead seeking the authority to pick the nominee themselves, even if it is someone the president would oppose. When that happens, no nomination is made. Other times, the senators withhold the blue slip indefinitely, often refusing to give a reason why, and sometimes even after they themselves recommended the nominee they are now blocking. The result of this abuse has been the worsening of a serious judicial vacancy crisis.
Chairman Leahy has stressed the importance of blue slips in showing that senators have been consulted by the White House. Taking heed of Leahy's words, Republicans should be wary of continuing the abuse of the blue slip process to block judicial confirmations. Their continued use of this "silent, unaccountable veto" is a detriment to the judicial process. As GOP obstruction continues through withholding of blue slips despite substantial consultation, judicial nominations grow more cumbersome, and the impracticality of this part of the process becomes clearer.
Yesterday, Sen. Diane Feinstein made an extraordinary 40-minute speech on the Senate floor denouncing the Central Intelligence Agency for obstructing congressional oversight by withholding information, intimidating staff involved in a congressional investigation, and removing documents from computers being used by the Senate Intelligence Committee staff. Feinstein, who chairs the Intelligence Committee, has been a long-term public advocate for the intelligence community. CIA Director John Brennan is disputing Feinstein's charges.
At the center of the dispute with the CIA is a years-long investigation of the detention and interrogation programs carried out in the wake of the 9/11 terror attacks. But the core constitutional issue being raised by Sen. Feinstein is the ability of Congress, operating under rules agreed to by the CIA, to conduct an oversight investigation without being spied on and having its investigation obstructed by the agency.
Sen. Patrick Leahy said he could not think of any more important speech during his many years in Congress. Sen. Mark Udall, who is also a member of the Intelligence Committee, praised Feinstein for "setting the record straight today on the Senate floor about the CIA's actions to subvert congressional oversight."
People For the American Way President Michael Keegan released a statement:
"We applaud Sen. Feinstein for voicing publicly her serious concerns about the CIA's alleged obstruction of congressional oversight. Congress's ability to provide oversight for our nation's intelligence gathering operations isn't incidental to the work they do—it's essential. If information was withheld and intimidation tactics were used to deter investigations, this would be a gross abuse of power.
"We depend on Congress's ability to conduct these investigations in order to protect the separation of powers in our government as well as the fundamental civil liberties guaranteed by our Constitution. We commend Sen. Feinstein for speaking out and calling on the CIA to cooperate rather than obstruct congressional oversight."
When the Senate unanimously confirmed Sri Srinivasan to the Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit last month, Republicans patted themselves on the back for cooperating in a relatively efficient confirmation process. But, by any objective standard, Srinivasan's confirmation process wasn't that efficient at all. In fact, Republican obstruction of Srinivasan started when they delayed a hearing on his nomination for ten months, from June 2012 to April of this year.
But Sen. Chuck Grassley, the ranking Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, is now pushing an alternate history of this delay on Srinivasan's nomination. In a floor speech the day Srinivasan was confirmed, Grassley insisted that Sen. Patrick Leahy, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, "made no effort to schedule a hearing on this nominee until late last year."
In a press release this week, Sen. Leahy explained why this argument is just plain false. In fact, he wrote, it was Senate Republicans who kept insisting that Srinivasan's hearing be pushed back:
By July 19, 2012, I had determined that the paperwork on the Srinivasan nomination was complete and the nominee could be included in a hearing. It has been my practice as Chairman of the Judiciary Committee to give the minority notice and allow consultation before scheduling a nomination for a hearing. At that time, the next July hearing had been discussed as one devoted to the nominee to head the Antitrust Division at the Department of Justice, a nomination that itself had been delayed and to which there was Republican opposition. During the August recess, my staff asked Senator Grassley's about holding the hearing on the Srinivasan nomination in September. They raised objections and concerns about proceeding with the D.C. Circuit nomination at that time but agreed to proceed with four district nominees and a Court of International Trade nominee.
In November, 2012, after the American people reelected President Obama, we raised the need for a hearing on the D.C. Circuit nomination anew. Republicans objected, again, in spite of the precedent of holding a hearing for one of President Bush's D.C. Circuit nominees during a similar lame duck session. Instead, they wanted to proceed only with district court nominees during the lame duck. Republicans insisted that the Srinivasan hearing be put off until the new Congress and the new year. In deference to the Republican minority, I held off. They agreed that he would be included at the first nominations hearing of the 113th Congress.
Then, in early January of this year, when called upon to hold up their end of the bargain, Republicans balked.
This isn't just a matter of settling a complicated Senate score. Instead, Sen. Leahy is pointing out yet another incident of Sen. Grassley's twisting the truth about judicial nominees and the judicial nominations process in an attempt to cover for slowing down Senate business and ultimately the business of the federal courts. As Leahy says in his statement:
Those erroneous Record statements have me wondering whether I should be so accommodating to Republican scheduling demands given that they forget their demands in their efforts to avoid responsibility and blame others.

Customer Reviews
Rated 3.8 out of 5 by 40 reviewers.
Rated 2 out of 5 by jim in va Not for 3 Bikes This rack will not support 3 bikes. The straps are good the tubes are Ok but the spring loaded mechanism that is supposed to lock the tubes in place will not support the weight of the third bike. Also I ride with a bike club and when my partner loads his bike on the rack he will pull down so hard trying to engage the rubber straps in the holder that he pulls the tie down strap clip from under the trunk lid. With three bikes the spring locking connector freezes and the mechanism distorts so that the tubes sag down. July 2, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by ATBJR Excellent Customer service This bike rack seems to work quite well. The directions are more than a little bit opaque and my initial installation was backwards. I do have reasonable mechanical ability and have maintained bicycles for over fifty years. This was promptly corrected by the extremely helpful and competent employee who pointed out the correct installation. I was extremely disappointed to find that the rack is not recommended for installation on one of my cars only after I had opened the package. April 30, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by beadhead16 Strong construction; excellent support for bike I would have prefered to have a hitch rack, but my car doesn't have a hitch. This was an excellent alternative. The construction is high quality. The pads/seats that hold the bike are a high quality rubber and are designed in a way that held the bike fast. They seem to be the same quality as some of the hitch racks I was looking at. The ties connected to the seats are the right kind of rubber to stick to the bike and keep it in place. There were ample straps so that the frame was adequatly supported. While the rack cost more that other strap supported racks, the hefty construction was worth it and certaily cost less than buying a new bike if the rack failed! April 23, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by rogelio Very sturdy and easy to mount. The instructions are confusing. The mounting and assembly were done through logic and common sense. Spent more time reading the mounting an strapping instructions. Was only able to mount one bike only, and it was able to hold the bike tight and secure to the rear of the vehicle. The diagram on the instructions that shows the bike rack mounted and strapped to the rear of the vechicle needs to be cleary visible. April 22, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by mikerbiker Not as good as the previous version! The rubber straps that you lock the bike down with are too taught. The red color is obnoxious. I've used the black version of this bike rack for five years until one of the support straps broke. I bought this rack to replace the support strap on my former version. I would have given the former version of this bike rack five stars - it was black and the rubber straps were just perfect! April 16, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Indyguy46214 Good Value Fairly easy to install. Looks and feels well built. Only drawback is the rubber straps kinda hard to lock would be easier with ratchet style straps. April 2, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Bob Nice bike rack Functional, takes a while to set-up. Handles 3 bicycles. Would buy again. March 25, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by gonzo heavy duty Yakima products are top drawer this rack can hold 3 bikes and its well built and sturdy and I would recommend this product for trunk style installs March 25, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by JV Good product, poor info re: auto model compatibility The bike rack was great - arrived as promised. Product description said it would fit Toyota Camrys. Not until I received the product was there any mention that it would only fit Camrys through model year 2011. (Mine is a 2012.) VERY frustrating. I recommend the product with the caveat that it is not compatible with any cars with spoilers (large, small or in between.) October 13, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by JC A sturdy bike rack for many vehicle applications The Yakima MegaJoe Elite bike rack has proven to be a sturdy, well-made rack offered at a reasonable price. Purchased this item to tote two of my bikes to Hilton Head Island and had zero drama with it. I question the blogs on this item which stated the rack was difficult to set up, but I had no issues. As the rack can fit many vehicles, it has adjustable angle devices which must be measured and locked in place for each application. This is very critical for both on-road safety and bike protection, so do not deviate from your vehicle's measurement. This is the only issue I have with these type of carriers, as every time you want to flatten the carrier to store, you will need to re-measure and lock the unit back in its open position to use it. The best thing about this carrier is the three-bike adjustable holders that use three rubberized straps to lock each bike securely in place - which keeps them from sliding into each other. As I have a good amount of money invested in several beautiful bikes, I appreciate this system - when carefully loaded, the bikes stay away from each other, so painted and polished surfaces do not not get scratched.

Forever Young
All the Good it Will Do
The gains of a regular practice—which can be as little as one class per week—don't take long to manifest. Teachers who specialize in seniors classes say that they quickly notice differences in their older students' flexibility, balance, and strength—perhaps even sooner than with younger people. "Yoga brings back flexibility," Francina says. "It never ceases to amaze me. Even very old people become flexible. Mental and physical flexibility is what we associate with being young."
These changes translate into substantial health benefits. The results of his twice-weekly Iyengar class and daily meditation and pranayama have amazed R.?A. "Bart" Bartholomew, 75, of New Braunfels, Texas. "I've been on blood-pressure medication since I was 34. Both my cardiologist and GP sat me down after taking blood tests and stress tests and said, 'What are you doing? These are the best results we've ever seen for a 75-year-old man.'"
Johnson says that her practice has given her greater body awareness; so she now knows how to head off, and treat, minor aches and pains herself. "If I'm having lower-back tightness, I do Child's Pose or Legs-up-the-Wall Pose," she says. Since starting yoga seven years ago, she hasn't had a single recurrence of the back-pain bouts that once laid her up for weeks. And Nell Taylor, 83, of Ojai, California, applies what she's learned in class to help her in everyday life: She watches her breathing when she's stressed, which is, she says, a kind of meditation. She's able to take care of her yard and home and work in an office twice a week. "When you get to my age, you get stiffer in the joints, and things like reaching for something on a high shelf are harder," she says. "But I can do that with great ease now."
Practitioners attest that the benefits go beyond the physical. Since Georgia Westervelt, 81, of Amherst, Massachusetts, first started practicing yoga, her routine of two classes a week has served her well, keeping her limber and strong, and speeding her recovery from a fall that left her in severe back pain. But yoga was also crucial in helping Westervelt survive the loss of her husband and her sister. "The practice has seen me through some really stressful times," she says. "When my husband was ill and died in 2000, I got through it by focusing on the breathing and awareness. All of those things have helped me so much in dealing with whatever's going on in my personal life."
The twilight years aren't always peaceful and stress free, of course, and many seniors say that learning to let go during Savasana (Corpse Pose) or a guided meditation has been yoga's biggest gift. "Yoga has actually trained me how to relax," says Johnson. "I get down on the mat and in a matter of seconds I'm already deeply calm. Now I don't even have to be on my mat to do this—I can do it in a car, stuck in a traffic jam." Craig notices a similar serenity among her students. "Stress reduction is what people notice most," she says. "They feel relaxed and peaceful, and they learn tools to stay calm. They begin to notice stress and where it is in their bodies and how it's impacting their lives."!--page-->

SB Nation's latest at YouTube takes a look at the unprecedented punishments handed out to the New Orleans Saints after a lengthy NFL investigation found the existence of a bounty program, which rewarded players financially for hurting opposing players.
One important note the SB Nation YouTube crew makes is on Gregg Williams, the former Saints defensive coordinator, who is now with the St. Louis Rams. He was issued an "indefinite" suspension which, as SB Nation's Dan Rubenstein and Matt Ufford point out, is never good. Sean Payton was suspended for a year so presumably "indefinite" in this case means more than a year.
Or maybe forever. That's a very real possibility, too.
So this thing isn't over yet. The players still need to be punished, too. There's still more to come.

Using SystemRescueCd to recover partition data
Got Your Back
If your Linux or Windows system won't boot, or if you're worried that the hard disk is on its last legs, the first thing you need to do is rescue the partition data and copy it to a safe location.
Everyone has experienced the dreaded "file not found" and "missing operating system" messages. And, you've probably seen the error messages GRUB spits out, including: "Read Error," "Hard Disk Error," and even "No such partition." Plenty of problems can happen at boot time. And, of course, the practical result of all these problems is that you can't get to your data.
So, what happens when you can't recover a partition that contains valuable data? You either need to repair the disk or make a copy of the failed partition and get it to a remote system so that you can then mount it and obtain the data you need. Usually, this means finding a way to copy the partition, then transfer it across the network to a system that has the ability to mount the partition and obtain the data.

Money leaks: Forgetting to pay your bills
Fortunately there are systems in place that can help even the most forgetful.
This post comes from Jim Wang at partner blog Bargaineering.
We all know that banks and credit card companies make a ton of money from fees, and no fee is more avoidable than a late-payment fee. Some companies will assess a percentage fee based on your balance; others will charge a flat fee. But one thing is the same across all of those fees: It's a carelessness penalty.
I understand that not everyone can remember to do everything all the time. Fortunately there are systems in place that can help even the most forgetful. You just have to implement them. (This post is an installment of our new Money Leaks series.)
How can you avoid forgetting to pay your bills? Post continues after video.
- Automate. Whenever possible, automate the bill-paying process so you can't possibly forget. There are risks to financial automation, but as long as you mitigate those risks, you can avoid missing bill payments because they're automatically scheduled ahead of time.
- Schedule due dates. Whenever possible, try to schedule the due dates so they coincide with each other and, preferably, after your pay day. You can call up your credit card company and request that your due date be changed so it matches up with your rent, utility, and other credit card bills. Some companies will let you, others won't.
- Use fewer resources/cards. If you use three credit cards, that's three bills you have to remember paying. All it takes is one $35-plus late-payment fee for you to regret having so many cards, even if you were using them to optimize your cash back. A simple system is easier to execute.
- Schedule frequent reminders. Once you have fewer due dates to remember, schedule reminders to yourself to take care of them. Put it as a recurring event on your phone, schedule a meeting in Outlook, and tell your spouse or significant other to remind you. A Post-It note on your computer isn't going to work because you'll eventually be blind to it. Frequent and annoying reminders will. (How to schedule online reminders.)
In the event that you do miss payment on a bill, try calling up the company to see if you can get the fee rescinded. This works best if you aren't a frequent late payer and haven't been dinged in the past for something similar. Companies aren't cold-hearted. They're willing to work with you as long as you are willing to be nice.
What do you do to make sure you don't miss a payment?

Behind the Scenes: A Look at Creative Packaging for Weasley Wheezes in Half-Blood PrinceHBP Film
There are new looks online today at some of the packaging for products found in Weasley Wheezes joke shop, as seen in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Creative Review has this look (and here in our galleries) at some of the packaging for humorous products such as "Magical Mustache Miracle Stubble Grow" and "Anti Gravity Hats" and more, with the designer Nicholas Saunders saying:
"I was briefed to work on the Weasleys Wizarding Wheezes originally," Saunders continues. "I was also asked to come up with a number of names for more products (such as Anti Gravity Hats) to adorn the shelves. Then after the product names were approved and cleared I used the names as a base to start the designs. When the boxes were ready they were printed on mass up to 400 then they were placed on boxes of all different shapes and sizes. Then after this stage the set dressers took them to fill three storeys [sic] of shop shelves in the shop on the Diagon Alley set."
On his personal website, the designer also says he is at work again on Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

Sundance will assign a catering manager for your wedding function to assist you in planning the Sundance aspects of your event (schedule of events, room set up, menus, audio visual requirements, lodging and guest activities). Sundance's catering managers do not act as wedding coordinators and are not responsible for the ceremony or procession, managing vendors arranged by the bridal party, the timing of the toast, cake cutting, etc. Your catering manager will ensure that all the menus, room design, food and facilities are set up and serviced to your specifications.
Sundance requires all brides work with a wedding planner to coordinate the timing and all the details of your wedding day. Your catering manager can refer you to our preferred vendors to make your own arrangements for a wedding coordinator, entertainment, flowers, cakes, etc. An on-site day of contact is required—please provide the name and contact information of your coordinator to your catering manager.
All weddings are required to meet a contracted food and beverage minimum for your event(s) (please see your contractual agreement). This minimum does not include alcohol, audio visual, set up charges, room rentals, service charge, tax or any other miscellaneous charges.
A service charge and Utah State sales tax will be added to all catered function related charges (food, beverage, AV, rentals and miscellaneous charges). Current service charge and tax rates are: Service Charge 20%, Utah Food Tax 7.75%, Other Sales Tax 6.75%. Rates are subject to change without notice.
All weddings at Sundance will be pre-paid in full based upon estimated/expected charges. Please refer to your schedule of deposits in your contractual agreement. Final prepayment must be made 5 days prior to your event. Sundance reserves the right to cancel your function if full prepayment has not been received. Any remaining balance at the conclusion of the event can be paid by check or credit card the day upon receipt of the final invoice. If payment is not presented within 10 days of receipt of the invoice, the credit card on file will be billed for all outstanding charges.
Room rentals apply to all events and are assessed per function space per day. Room rentals include the use of a basic sound system with a wired microphone and one hand held or lapel wireless microphone OR a CD player. Sundance service for wedding cake cutting is also included in your room rental fee.
A $200.00 room re-set charge will be applied to rooms that need to be re-set within the same day, or to change the set-up of a room once it has been set.
A $100 delivery charge will be added to all deliveries for catered food and beverage to guest rooms.
The final guaranteed attendance for food and beverage functions is due three (3) full business days (Monday thru Friday, 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM) prior to the first scheduled event. The guarantee is to be called or emailed into the catering office no later than 10:00 AM.

There will be a 10% surcharge assessed for any guests in attendance above 3% over your guarantee. If the final guaranteed number of guests exceeds the function space maximum capacity a 20% surcharge will be assessed on the overage.

Over at LoHud, Chad Jennings has the latest on the Captain's rehab: he's running on the treadmill, taking grounders that are hit right at him -- no jokes -- and is still expecting to be ready for Opening Day. As Robyn Hitchcock sang, "There's nothing in the future and there's nothing in the past; there is only this one moment and you've gotta to make it last." There are few people for whom that statement can be more true than the going-on-39 shortstop.
For all the handwringing this winter about the team's haphazard path towards budgetary contraction, it doesn't seem like there has been nearly enough questioning of Jeter's outlook. There has been perfunctory wondering about when he'd be ready to start the season and if in the aftermath of the broken ankle his already-limited range might be further reduced. It's hard to say exactly what the right amount of worry is-no need to tear your clothes off and run screaming through the streets-but it's still hard to overstate what a tiny jewel of a miracle Jeter's age-38 season was, and how unlikely it is to happen again.
Don't take my word for it; I've been predicting Jeter's demise for too long at this point to be at all credible on the subject. Then again, one reason I've been wrong for so long is that I never realized that the Yankees would insist that Jeter's offensive value outweighed his defensive shortcomings longer than any other team in baseball history that was confronted with a similar problem. It used to be common to hear fans ask what position Jeter would someday move to; there was an understanding that at some point he would be too old to play shortstop. It's not that that moment never came, it's that it came and the Yankees ignored it.
Jeter is now 51 games from second place on list of all-time games at shortstop, and his appearance there is only possible because the Yankees made a valuation about his continued presence there. It would be hard to argue they were wrong about it given their record over the second half of Jeter's career, but you could also argue the opposite point of view and suggest that a lot of what we think we know about Yankees pitching over that period has been distorted by Jeter's persistence at short.
Either way, Jeter is already half a step removed from his peak on defense, when he was already half a step worse than most other shortstops. Even without the ankle injury, he was bound to give a little ground with an additional year under his belt. Given that Eduardo Nunez is the only alternative to that, I guess you grin and bear it... but then, a player like Jeter only comes around once or so in a hundred years; it was always going to be a long way down once he couldn't do it anymore.
One other important bit from the LoHud update: Curtis Granderson doesn't have a problem moving to left field. Granderson has his flaws as a player, and it's going to be fascinating if he can recover from what was basically a three-month slump, one so terrible he went 3-for-30 with 16 strikeouts in the postseason. That's about as close to helpless as you can get, and one can't help but wondering if something more than flawed mechanics was at work.

AUSTINTOWN - Fearing possible additional fees or surcharges on Youngstown municipal water service at the Austintown site of a planned new thoroughbred racetrack, track operators said Thursday they have begun exploring other options for water.
One of those options could involve the city of Niles running water lines to Austintown to provide service to the facility at state Route 46 and Interstate 80.
Niles City Council President Robert Marino confirmed Thursday evening that Niles officials this week instructed city Service Director Neil Buccino to contact Austintown trustees about the possibility of that city providing water to the racetrack under construction by Penn National Gaming.
Buccino could not be reached for comment Thursday evening, and Austintown Trustee chairman Jim Davis did not return a message seeking comment.
"We have other options and we are investigating them. We are looking at all our options," Penn National spokesman Bob Tenenbaum said earlier the day. He declined to disclose further details.
Discussion about other utility options began when concerns were raised following recent attempts by the mayor of neighboring Youngstown to negotiate a Joint Economic Development District with Austintown Township to encompass the 190-acre racetrack site. Youngstown sells water from Meander Water to Austintown Township users.
Ironically, Niles also sells water to nearby communities from the same source, Meander Water.
Tenenbaum expressed his frustration with the latest development that could put the project in jeopardy again.
"We are appalled at what appears to be an 11th hour money grab by the city of Youngstown, and frankly, we are baffled at what the mayor's purpose is. What he's doing is putting the progress in jeopardy," Tenenbaum said. "On the water situation, everything we know is secondhand because we haven't heard from the mayor."
Tenenbaum declined to elaborate on whether those options include only public providers who may be interested in selling water to the race track or other sources.
Youngstown Mayor Charles Sammarone on Thursday refused to discuss water sales involving the racetrack property, saying only that the proposal he made to Austintown dealt solely with a JEDD to help bring income tax revenues to both communities. Under Ohio law, townships like Austintown cannot assess an income tax. However, if a JEDD were created, Youngstown could assess the income tax on the expected 1,000 workers at the property and then share the proceeds with the township.
Sammarone admitted the proposal is an attempt to increase tax dollars for the city.
"As you lose population, you lose your tax base. Your basic services run on tax money. We should be looking at new ways of generating tax dollars," Sammarone said. "I could just sit back and do nothing, but I am not that way."
But trustees this week denounced the idea.
"JEDDs are just another way to tax middle income individuals," Trustee Lisa Oles said during this week's regular township meeting. "I have a problem with greedy politicians wanting to tax hard-working people."
Although he said he does not favor the JEDD idea, township Trustee Jim Davis at this week's meeting proposed moving forward with a meeting.
"We do need to continue to talk to our neighbors," Davis said.
While Penn National has said it would meet about the topic, Tenenbaum described it as a "moot point" because no one from the city has ever contacted his company.
Sammarone said he has not contacted Penn National because he was waiting to get an answer from the township trustees first. He said he would not force the issue, but rather put everything on the table and negotiate.
In the meantime, work continues at the site toward a targeted mid-2014 opening. Groundbreaking was held in May for Hollywood at Mahoning Valley Race Course.
"We are certainly hopeful that nothing is going to slow this down at this point, but we have to proceed in a way that is best for us and for the project," Tenenbaum said. "While we are really disappointed in the way the city (of Youngstown) has handled this, the Austintown trustees have been very supportive."
Town Crier reporter J.T. Whitehouse contributed to this story.

COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho – It's a struggle every parent can relate to: how do you monitor your kids' digital life to make sure they're safe, without watching their every move or scrolling through every text or Facebook message?
It's not easy – but one Coeur D'Alene mother has made it easier.
It all began at a conference three years ago, when Hannah Masters realized that kids today have more technology – and spend more time using it – than their parents often know.
"When I saw that I needed to be engaged in my child's digital world, some light bulbs went off," she told KHQ.
So she helped develop aBeanstalk.com, an online system that 'connects' parents with their kids text messages as well as online accounts, like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and MySpace.
Masters made an agreement with her 14-year-old son, Sean. He was allowed to have a phone and an online presence, but she needed to know when potential problems arise. They set the controls to monitor for certain red-flagged key words that could indicated messages about cyber bullying, drugs and alcohol, sexting, profanity or suicidal thoughts.
Any time Sean sends or received a message that is 'red flagged' by the system, Hannah gets a real-time notification in the form of a text or email.
"I saw the cyber bullying, I saw the requests for the naked pictures," she said, explaining that once she's notified, she then has a conversation about it with her son. "He knows when certain things hit his phone, mom's going to be talking to him about that."
Surprisingly, the 7th grader told KHQ he doesn't mind being monitored. In fact, he said his parents have given him more freedoms because they don't have to watch his every move or scroll through every message – only the serious stuff.
"I'm going to have peace of mind, I'm going to know I've got it covered," Hannah said. "I'm not going to miss anything, and only in the case that something is out of bounds or you're in harms way or something I need to know about comes up, then the system is going to give that to me."
While Sean admits the system takes some getting used to, he also said he's safer because of it.
"Kids make a lot of bad decisions without even knowing it – especially middle schoolers," he said. "There was a kid not too long ago that killed himself from bullying that I knew. It was really sad, and it was all over Facebook."
"If they were falling into harms way, would you want to be notified or not? Simple question," Hannah added.
She says it's not about spying, it's about being connected and having those important conversations with your kids when they're in trouble, nipping potential problems in the bud.
