Welcome to Marlborough Country - but don't expect to park your bike on the High Street
"Cyclists are very active people," says councillor. "I can't see a problem with them walking from one end of the High Street to the other."

A town councillor in Wiltshire has said that since cyclists are "very active people," they shouldn't mind having to walk from one end to the other of Marlborough High Street as he vetoed plans for cycle parking. Another has warned of the 'danger' motorists would face if cyclists were allowed to lock up their bikes at the site of proposed bike racks that would take the place of two car parking spaces in the Wiltshire town.
The comments were made during what sounds like a heated meeting of Marlborough Town Council – its first since the local elections earlier this month – in which councillors voted by eight to four to defer a decision to agree to locations of cycle parking proposed by Marlborough Transition.
The cycle parking would form part of a £400,000 project by Wiltshire Council to resurface the high street later this year, reports Marlborough News Online, which adds that the county council has already agreed to the removal of the two car parking spaces which are free to use for half an hour.
The council meeting was presented with a detailed report regarding the proposals from Wiltshire Council, and also heard from Ann Yates of Transition Marlborough, who outlined why the specific locations for the cycle parking, which will take the place of two car parking spaces, had been chosen.
"These sites are highly visible and convenient for the Post Office and for WH Smiths," she explained.
The parking spaces to be removed are outside Valentino's and, on the other side of the High Street, The Polly Tea Rooms, and she added: "I have been to see the managers of these businesses and they have no reservations about the siting of cycle racks outside their shops and positively endorse their installation."
However, one of the opponents of the proposals, Councillor Margaret Rose, was reported by Marlborough News Online that she feared that cyclists backing out of the cycle parking locations would pose a danger to motorists.
Another opponent, Conservative Councillor Stewart Dobson, said: "It is so important, especially in these present financial times, that we do all we can for residents.
"There are an awful lot of people who are not disabled enough to qualify for a parking badge and therefore a disabled space, but nevertheless they are not terrible mobile.
"They do need to pop to the Post Office and to Boots for a prescription. So I would be loathe against taking away two parking spaces. But those two spaces are important. They are always being used.
"There is never an empty space there. And quite frankly we can't afford to lose any more. We can't inflict this on our traders.
"Cyclists by and large are very active people," he continued.
"So I can't see a problem with them walking from one end of the High Street to the other whereas we would be penalising people who are far from active.
"I would hope we can find a compromise, and that ought to be that the existing ones are adequate for the job and we look to see how it goes from there."
The picture above, taken from Google Street View, suggests that Marlborough isn't short of car-parking spaces and that the slot outside The Polly Tea Rooms isn't just occupied by people needing access to the shops, but also workmen's vans.
One of the council's newly elected members, Councillor Lisa Farrell, who commutes by bike to her work at Marlborough College, told the meeting: "Can't we try this? It's not going to cost us anything. Let's give it a go and see if it works.
"I know what it's like with a bike because I ride one everywhere. Let's just give it a go, please."
Councillor Andrew Ross backed her stance, saying: "I think it would be a tragedy to let this opportunity slip away by our reactionary views.
"We are trying to encourage cycling among young people and we need to provide them with the correct facilities. This is just the sort of thing we need to be doing in the town. We must seen to be doing the correct things."
Councillor Alexander Kirk Wilson added: "You are saying that ratepayers in the town don't get anything except free parking. There are lots of hard done by ratepayers with push bikes who have nowhere to lock them away."
Despite their support for the proposals, however, the council voted to refer the matter back to Wiltshire Council, saying that while in principle it was in favour of suitable facilities for cyclists, it wanted the Marlborough area board to reconsider the plans with a focus on improving existing cycle parking and signs.
I cycled through there last summer and stopped for refreshment, had to place our bicycles beside us on the pavement, far more potential danger there than using a bike rack. There seemed to be an awful lot of far from disabled people parking vanity 4x4s in the available spaces, maybe they should voluntarily stop using a couple of spots?

I have lived here, in the past. The biggest danger on that high street is the motorist (and I was one!), it is very busy, surprisingly cramped and you never get a parking space near the shop you are aiming at anyway.
Fortunately, most motorists are also able to walk from one end to the other - even with shopping.
Incidentally - does anyone reverse out of a bike park into the road? I've been casting my mind back but I don't think I have ever seen this.

The concept of encouraging use of cycles to reduce car use and therefore reduce parking space requirements may have been lost on the curtain twitchers. Ya reckon?
As for DANGER! Cyclists Reversing!, I heartily agree. An unsuspecting Land Rover could be crushed under the weight of a pannier in seconds.

As a regular cyclist (and occasional car driver) to Marlborough the High Street does need some decent cycle parking facilities, and the location described makes sense.
It is laughable that some local councillors regard the cyclists as the 'hazard'. The High Street is basically a massive car park with eratic car drivers cruising up and down desperate for a free space, often making sudden left or right hand turns once the space of their dreams becomes available.
Any cyclist going through Marlborough has to be extremely vigilant to avoid being pranged by a 4x4 or Audi.
Ironically Marlborough has a large amount of car parking space available within short and easy walking distance to the High Street. I never have a problem parking here and then walking the huge 200 yards to the shops.

The argument that all cyclists are mobile and that all people who are not terribly mobile cannot be cyclists is fundamentally flawed. Elderly people who cannot walk far sometimes cycle (on regular bikes or, increasingly now, on electric-assist models). They may also use mobility tricycles (again, with or without electric-assist functions). Old and infirm cyclists exist, as do disabled cyclists. Even able-bodied cyclists may not always be more mobile than motorists - somebody transporting a baby and a toddler in a bike trailer, for example, will park their bike and then either have an unwieldy buggy to push around or two children in tow. If Marlborough currently does not have any bicycle users with restricted mobility, it probably needs to work on becoming a more welcoming kind of place for cyclists.

Talk about "Dad's Army" stuff! . . .
So let me get this right . . . bikes are a danger to cars? And car drivers without disabled permits are still disabled? Why the %$#&! are these people in government? Let me guess this is a Tory council? So what we have here is the loony right as opposed to the crackpots on the left with their nuclear free zones and council poets. I'm starting to think the most politically radical position is inn the centre.
Please people use your brains.

Surely doing all they can for residents is also providing cycle parking as well as car parking? I've been there a few times by car and can confirm that the space you get is the one that's just been vacated and not the one opposite the shop you want.
They make a lot of having the widest high street in the country, surely there's enough room to park a few bikes?
I find it ridiculous that the councillor's arguments are based on his own views and are not backed up by any shred of evidence!

So now cyclists not only don't pay "road tax" they don't pay "council tax" either. It must be all those dystopian future films that people see that show the world ravaged by gangs of bicycle riding marauders that give the idea that we all somehow live off th grid and contribute nothing to our society.
Motorists in danger from reversing cyclists. You couldn't make it up.

"He approved the sensible upgrade of parking facilities outside the library and the town hall and suggested if that parking spaces were to be lost they should come from those running down the middle of the High Street."
Quote taken from the Marlborough News website linked in the story.
The suggestion of taking 2 of the pay & display spaces from the centre instead of free short stay ones on the sides is a goodun. Less revenue for the council too. Unless they cotton on to charging bikes...
Cycling brings many visitors to the town especially at the weekends and we all know MAMILs spend a small fortune on cakes and coffee.

We stopped in Marlborough for a coffee en route from Winchester to Malmesbury, and the cars in the High Street were staggering... They were nose to tail cruising locking for a parking space, and just crossing the broad street to head out meant taking your life in your hands. As for parking, if you're out on a ride, you're not going to leave a bunch of race bikes at the other end of town... At best you're going to want to lock them nearby or do as we did and prop them up outside the coffee shop.
Mind you on the way out we had to cycle past Marlborough rugby club as they were kicking out the Sunday morning geoups, and that was absolute gridlock... You couldn't even weave a bike through the jam as the esate cars and SUVs all assumed that they had right of way over everyone else.
On the whole Marlborough wasn't a great place for anyone... Car drivers, cyclists, pedestrians.

What about all the cars parked up the middle of the street are you really trying to say that none of them reverse out of their spots?

What's amazing about the safety argument is that last year, someone parked their car on one side of the road with the hand brake off - only for it to career across the road and into the front window of the tile shop (the very nice locally made Marlborough tiles) on the other side. Had anyone been walking past at the time it would have been more than a glass window that would have been shattered.

As an update, new cycle stands went in (though not all those promised):
But they were soon taken out again for the annual MOP fair - heaven forbid anyone would want to cycle into the town for the fair.
Several weeks later, their temporary removal is looking all the more permanent and the wheel bender racks are back

This morning I read a blog entry by DRB13_1, in which, among other interesting Olympic details (and great photos... drop on by!) she quotes the Olympic Athlete's Oath:
"In the name of all the competitors I promise that we shall take part in these Olympic Games, respecting and abiding by the rules which govern them, committing ourselves to a sport without doping and without drugs, in the true spirit of sportsmanship, for the glory of sport and the honor of our teams "
I took a similar oath at the opening ceremonies of the Cornhusker State Games last Friday:
"We, the athletes of the Cornhusker State Games..." it begins. We all (in the stands) raised our hands and repeated after the UNL track and field athletes. It goes on but contains a different sort of pledge: "we shall strive to win, but be proud just to have done our best."
Me. An athlete. Of an organized collection of games. It kind of sent tingles up my spine. I'm glad I went to the symbolic opening. I may not be an olympian, but I am out there, doing my best, and feeling the fellowship of others who love their sports. Tomorrow evening, when the opening ceremonies for the London Olympics air, I will have my spirits lifted along with many others around the globe... and I'll also be comparing it to my own little experience in these local games.
Life is good... Spark on!
I had my last biking so-called workout today. It said to bike 15 miles. Well, I bike commuted to work and home, and called it good. It wasn't a single session, it was broken up by the work day... but this way I got half the ride in better conditions than the 100 degree ride home. It added up to 15.3. And biking is done until TRI morning.
Yesterday I did my tapering swim of 1000 yards, and tapering jog of 30 minutes, keeping carefully to the plan, not OVER doing.
Tomorrow is a rest day. Friday, the day before the race, I'm taking off work, and will swim a brief 400 yards and run a brief 15 minutes. I will go visit the race site and plot where to park in transition if I can get it, then pack up my wardrobe, nutrition and tools into the car before I go to bed Friday night, as check in for the race starts at 5:30 a.m.
They sent us an e-mail with very specific instructions for the order at check in. When I went as a spectator last year, in time to observe the pre-race meeting, it was a crazy busy scene.
So... meditate... chill... and rest. The main event is nearly here.
Walked / jogged in the late afternoon heat yesterday, as that's what the training plan said. This morning, though, it was deliciously cool at 73 degrees by comparison for my last "long" bike ride of 20 miles. I rode down to the University and back, taking mostly bike trails but some residential streets to round up the mileage.
Since then, laundry and puttering around the house. I am supposed to walk 30 minutes this evening, which I will do on the treadmill to my guilty Summer reality show obsession (Big Brother).
The workouts this week are shorter, leading to essentially just a loosen up workout of short swim and very brief jog on Friday before the race on Saturday. Ready or not, here we come!
Isn't it pretty? This photo and the next two were taken before and at the start of the 1500 meter swim. The one I did, the 750 followed, an hour or so later.
Some things you need to be prepared for: the sighting distance is a whole lot longer than in a 25 yard pool. People warn you of this. You try to prepare, but when you get into it, it's an "aha", anyway.
This is a side-shot of some of the 1500 meter swimmers warming up. When it was my turn, discovered bathtub temperature water in the small lake.
It was done as a running start by countdown / voice command. The first 20 yards was through clumps of seaweed.
You are now a number. But they know your name.
Now let me say a few words about the numbers of participants and the support staff who were superb. And the Cornhusker State Games in general, for that matter. Your state may have such games. If they do, I encourage you to support them as a spectator AND participate, because sporting and fitness is not just for the elite and the handicapped... it's for ordinary folk, too, and that's what *these* games are about!
As you can see in the running start, there were not a whole lot of swimmers in the 1500 meter open water swim. Something like 10. There were 18 in the 750. I know, because I finished 18th. Got a silver medal for my effort, because they *do* age groups.
First thing I discovered was that I was too jumpy and too blind to trust myself at a crawl for very long. I ended up doing side and breast stroke for most of the swim. Second, I think it concerned the safety folks in the boats / kayaks... they kept asking if I was OK. I assured them that I was fine, I did not need a floaty, I could keep this up for a long time... I'm just SLOW!
Second thing was that between body temperatures and lake temperatures, the thing I began to miss almost immediately was my sight. Fogged up goggles. I mean so bad I could not see the next boat much less the buoy that was my target.
Third thing: choppy water, which contributed a lot to my choice of strokes. I just feel calmer at the side stroke and breast stroke. I mixed some crawl in there, but mostly kept on swimming a la Dorrie.
Most triathetes warn you about crowds in the water, people around you. Beyond the first 50 yards, this was not a problem. I was so far behind the pack, it wasn't funny. In the end, I had two boats, one on each side, making sure I didn't drift off course because they were aware (I told them) that I could not see. They kept telling me to go left or right as I would lose sight of the buoy and stroke three times and get turned again. Guardian angels, those ladies in the boats!
And you know what? In the end, I finished under my own power, walking out of the water upright, with a grin on my face, and wanting to do it again, hopefully a little better, next week.
My time? 27:29 for 750 meters. And miles ahead of anyone who stayed on her couch today!
I got the training plan covered yesterday with the pool swim in the morning before work, and a 45 minute treadmill walk in the evening (as opposed to walking in 100 degree outdoors).
This morning I woke to disturbing news stories that I had to turn off, as they brought back echoes of feelings that were just too... to relive. I took on day five of the meditation challenge, calming myself before heading to work.
After work, picked up my packets for the Cornhusker State Games activities, tomorrow's Open Water Swim and next weekend's Sprint distance Triathlon. Came home to find that my rental wetsuit was waiting at the local FedEx drop. I went and got it, and wrestled my way into it. OK, sizing good... strips off easier than it goes on, which is good from a competition point of view.
The opening ceremonies for the games are soon to start... I didn't go last year, as I was doing the 10K Volkswalk early the next morning, like as soon as it would open! I'm thinking I might just go now, though.

Holden Anderson at the Frozen Apple
Former Hawks player and now Cornell defenceman, Holden Anderson, will be in New York this weekend, for a big game against Penn State, at the World's most famous arena, Madison Square Garden.
The teams will face off during Thanksgiving weekend for the first time as NCAA Division I foes. During Penn State's early varsity years, the Nittany Lions and Cornell met in Ithaca, N.Y., in 1944.
Anderson played two full seasons with the Hawks, from 2011 to 2013, and the Frozen Apple will only be his seventh game with the Cornell Big Red. It will be a special day for the 21 year-old and his dad, Hawks' head coach Shawn Anderson, who played in Madison Square Garden many times during his NHL career. On February 7, 1994, while playing for the Washington Capitals, Shawn Anderson recorded an assist at Madison Square Garden in a 4-1 win against the Rangers. Shawn Anderson played 255 games in the NHL and finished with 11 goals and 51 assists with Buffalo, Québec, Philadelphia and Washington.
His son racked up 65 points in the CCHL with the Hawks before joining the Big Red in Ithaca.
"It will be something for sure that game," said Shawn Anderson with a smile.

In all honestly, it's for those times you accidentally have the wrong runeset so you get a booby prize ratioed ability.
The champions are set up like that so you can build them with ap and ad items. Just buying straight ad or ap isn't always the best way to go. Yorick can benefit from ap and ad but a lot of people play him just ad. This works great but a little ap can change a team fight. Riot wants summoners to be able to customize their favorite champions to meet their game play style. I play malzahar ad/ap because it's better for me. AD early game for voidlings and ap later for taking out tanky champs. This almost doesn't make sense because he has only ap abilities. It works though.
They're there so if someone were to get say, a trinity force, the ap aspect wouldn't be wasted.
So you can get a triforce. Unlike Talon.

Since the launch of ZGBriefs in 2001, we have produced more than 600 weekly newsletters. At first, it was just a Word document sent out by email. Then it was distributed using a dedicated email application. In 2010, ZGBriefs got it's own website (www.zgbriefs.com) which allowed for easy access to the archives and an easier subscription process.
Now, we are making plans to move ZGBriefs to a new ChinaSource website. You could say we're bringing it "home."
By moving to the ChinaSource site, we hope to more fully integrate it within the family of ChinaSource publications. This will also allow for cross-referencing with other similar content produced by ChinaSource. In order to prepare for the move, we are putting ZGBriefs on hold for the next three weeks.
We are grateful for your loyalty to ZGBriefs, and don't want to leave you out of the loop during this hiatus. We'd love to have you stay connected and informed by following our various social media accounts. Each day we will post numerous links to interesting and timely articles about China and the Church in China. You don't need to miss a thing!
- Follow ZGBriefs on Twitter (@ZG_Briefs).
- Follow the ChinaSource Twitter feed (@chinasourceorg).
- "Like" ChinaSource on Facebook.
We also are grateful for your support in response to the financial appeal that we posted last week. Thanks for helping us serve those who serve China.

As Chinese Adoptees Return Home, a New Genre Tells Their Tales (November 14, 2014, China Real Time)
"What if I wasn't given away?" It's the question that has crossed the mind of almost every adopted child. Very few get satisfactory answers, but from "Mommy Dearest" to "Star Wars," the foundling's search has long created powerful narratives. Now, a new phase in this subgenre is beginning, as adoptees resulting from China's one-child policy reach maturity and begin their quest for answers.
Q. and A.: Kung Tsui-chang on Life as the Heir to Confucius (November 14, 2014, The New York Times)
Kung Tsui-chang is a 39-year-old businessman in Taiwan who is the 79th-generation direct descendant of Confucius. He inherited the title of Sacrificial Official to Confucius from his grandfather, Kung Te-cheng, who died in 2008. The position was created by the Republic of China in 1935 after it abolished the title of Duke of Yansheng, a noble rank in Imperial China given to the descendants of the Chinese scholar and philosopher. […] In an interview, he discussed the role of Confucianism in Asia today, his links with his family in China and what it was like growing up as the heir of such a famous figure:
Chinese Students at U.S. Universities Jump 75% in Three Years (November 16, 2014, Bloomberg)
The number of Chinese students at U.S. universities jumped 75 percent in three years to almost 275,000 in the last academic year, according to a report. Students from China made up the largest contingent among the 886,052 foreign students last year, with 31 percent, the Institute of International Education, a New York-based nonprofit group, said today. India is second with 12 percent of the total, followed by South Korea with 7.7 percent.
Wrecked Ship Carrying Bodies of Chinese Miners Found, 112 Years After It Disappeared (November 19, 2014, China Real Time)
The wreckage of a Hong Kong-bound ship carrying the bodies of 499 Chinese miners has been found off New Zealand's coast, 112 years after it sank. In October 1902, the SS Ventnor was bound for Hong Kong when it sank about 20 kilometers off the west coast of the island nation after hitting a reef. Deep within the hull of the ship were the bodies of the Chinese gold miners, who were being repatriated for burial in their homeland after dying in the South Pacific country. Today, searchers announced that the remains of the ship has finally been found.
Discovering the joy: Serving the city with Chinese scholars (November 19, 2014, China Partnership Blog)
"Volunteering created this opportunity for me. I realized that these are real, ordinary people. Some people are homeless because they suffer from addictions or mental illness. Others have lost their homes because they don't have a job. They are not like the remarks that people make about the homeless in the newspaper or on websites, or that my friends make all the time. Maybe some of them had caused a crime before, but isn't my prejudice another crime of the heart?" Robert, a visiting professor from China at the University of Washington, wrote the above after volunteering for the first time, serving a meal to people at the Recovery Café in Seattle.
And one more thing…. The ChinaSource Annual Report 2013-2014 is now available. Rejoice with us in what God has done!

South Beach Day 4 - Here's What I Ate & WEIGHT LOST!
by DeAnna Lee
posted Jan 5 2013 9:25AM
I've lost FIVE POUNDS! It's the very beginning of Day 5, so I haven't had anything to eat yet. I got up and weighed myself, so all of the work I've done is up through South Beach Day 4! Yipeeeee!!!!
Day 4 South Beach Diet...Here's what I ate!
2 hard boiled eggs
2 pieces turkey bacon
coffee and cream
Celery w/ Peanut Butter
Lunch: (Left Overs from Dinner Day 3)
4 oz. Boneless Pork Chop w/ Mushroom Gravy
1/2 cup of roasted brocolli
1/2 cup wilted Lemon Green Chard
Handful of Peanuts
Chicken Breasts w/ Cilantro & Red Thai Curry Peanut Sauce and Sauted Brussel Sprouts
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded to 1/2 inch thick
2 T peeled and minced fresh ginger
1 T chopped fresh garlic
1/2 cup smooth natural peanut butter (without added sugar) at room temperature
1/4 cup rice vinegar (not "seasoned" vinegar which has sugar)
2 T soy sauce
1 tsp. red Thai Curry Paste (I like
Thai Kitchen
homemade chicken stock
or canned chicken broth
fresh ground black pepper to taste
about 2 T peanut oil (depends on your pan)
1 cup unsweetened lite coconut milk (I use Thai Kitchen Lite Coconut Milk)
4 T finely chopped cilantro (or more), plus more for garnish if desired
Trim chicken breasts so they are about the same size and remove any visible fat or ragged edges. Put each chicken breast inside plastic bag or between plastic wrap and use a meat mallet to pound to even 1/2 inch thickness.
Finely mince the ginger and garlic. In food processor or immersion blender canister combine ginger, garlic, peanut butter, rice vinegar, soy sauce, Splenda or sugar, curry paste, and chicken stock. Taste to see if you want to add more red curry paste. (I didn't.)
Heat the oil in heavy, large frying pan. Season chicken with black pepper, then add chicken to pan and saute over medium heat about until chicken breasts are nicely browned and cooked through, about 4 minutes on first side, and 2-3 minutes more on second side. (It's important not to overcook the chicken; it should feel barely firm to the touch when you take it out of the pan.)
Remove chicken to plate and cover with foil. Reduce heat to low and add 1 cup coconut milk. (You can freeze the other 3/4 cup coconut milk for another time.) Scrape off browned bits from the bottom of the pan, then stir in peanut/curry/ginger paste mixture and heat through, about 2-3 minutes.
Add any juices that have accumulated on the pate and cook another minute or two. Turn off heat and mix in chopped cilantro. Serve the sauce immediately over chicken breasts, with additional chopped cilantro for garnish if desired.

Broncos fans, this is pretty cool - you can play flag football on Sports Authority Field: online.ccfa.org/football (@CCFA_RM)
Few things more American than the fact that Chick-fil-a's cheese dipping sauce is made to fit in a car cup holder. http://t.co/Vt4iQgWKi4
The Broncos are good at a lot of things, unfortunately that includes making inopportune dumb penalties. Said Fox: "We've got work to do."
Well this is great- at Broncos press conf someone asks about Adam Gase, & now I've got stuck in my head "you know it's all about that Gase."
This is for you, Technology. $20K in gear is up for grabs in officialeastbay's Preparation Nation… instagram.com/p/vy8h9lPeat/
My column on The Boss (well, not Springsteen... Or Rick Ross ... Or Hogg) -- the Broncos' safety TJ Ward: dpo.st/1pdDL9n
#Nuggets C JaVale McGee had an x-ray on his left tibia today after leaving yesterday's Lakers game and not returning. He is day-to-day.
Treatment time... Coooooold as ice instagram.com/p/vy15R1uACC/
Back to work!! Let's keep this going #Nuggetsnation who's ready for tomorrow?! sqor.com/posts/ff487ecd… http://t.co/ek7QtoWKeM
Ty Lawson has more double-digit assist efforts in 74 games under Brian Shaw (30) than in all of his other seasons combined (28) #Nuggets
From Sunday: The emphasis shift in Ty Lawson's game from scoring to the assist. #Nuggets denverpost.com/nuggets/ci_269…
#Nuggets shoot 38% from floor 27% from three and 60% from FT line and somehow win the game
#Nuggets Winner winner chicken dinner. Nuggets beat the #Lakers for the 7th straight time and win 4th in a row 101-94 final in OT.
Think Kobe is gonna take this?
#Nuggets have shot 31 three pointers tonight (made 8)
Amazing responses - I'll list the best Broncos catches of all-time in Monday's Lunch Special column on denverpost dot com at noon MTN
What's the greatest catch on Broncos history? Not biggest catch (like DT vs Pittsburgh) but most-amazing catch
JJ Hickson playing McGees minutes in the 2nd quarter
#Nuggets Javale Mcgee strained leg will not return
#Nuggets defense is good now they just need to make some shots (0-6 from threes)
OK @snicky229 lets do this thing. #BlueAndYellow!!!!
Ed Davis gets the start for Boozer Davis/ Jonson/ Hill/ Kobe/ Lin AAA/ TY/ Faried/ Mozgov/ Wilson
#GrayShirts tonight are Bill Spooner/ Kane Fitzgerald and Karl Lane (no relation to Bus)......-6
WOW these Red Coat Ushers @STAPLESCenter DRIVE ME NUTTS!!!!!
Listening to my interview with Rahim Moore about TJ Ward - caught myself pulling a Judge Smails, telling Moore: "You're no slouch yourself."
OK we are off and running with @mbertag #Nuggets #Lakers on AM 950 in Denver or for free right here on the web. nba.com/allaccess/watc…
Wait was that the best catch I've ever seen?
I need some "no relation to" for Wesley Johnson....best ones get retweeted!!
Kobe Bryant has taken 38 more shots this season than Ty Lawson and Aaron Afflalo combined.

I checked in at Staples Center on #Yelp yelp.com/biz/staples-ce…
Broncos postgame locker room - where journalism and faux journalism collide (on deadline).
Now I've.... had ... RT @Kinna39: @Benjamin Hochman That Manny lift of @WesWelker after the TD was reminiscent of that Dirty Dancing scene ..
CJ Anderson says he wants defensive players to "feel my story." My column from earlier this sesaon: dpo.st/1AOLxfe
Nate Kreckman in to attempt the extra point
And with that, the most nervous man on the planet is the kicker.,..whatever the hell his name is. #Broncos
Who is covering Emmanuel?
well. He's human.
If the front office thought 1. Prater was still a Prater-like kicker 2. they could trust him from not making a mistake, they woulda kept him
Ward - thanks guys
Who's TV saying was called for holding there?
#holdatnation RT @TeeJayRegan: In la la land w/ @Nate Robinson instagram.com/p/vwclYkMwG3/
Who's Valor Christian's kicker? Bring him in
Paging Ray Finkle (he's probably watching the Dolphins game)
In 3...2...1....
Overheard in the press box (from @MikeKlis) - "CeeLo is off The Voice this season."
3rd-and-2, Broncos elect not to punt, big run by Thompson.
So Jonas Gray has averaged 100.5 yards per game in the past two games.
"tick tick tick tick tick" - Chris Berman on Mike Wallace (and Benjamin Hochman on the Broncos' season)
And here's my column on Dee Hart, with 96 words beginning with D. - dpo.st/1xRz0p8
Entering this game, there have been 20 fumbles in Denver games, 17 recovered by the fumbling team.
Thanks again to @DPostSports copy editors for an awesome headline for my Dee Hart column. http://t.co/jMXfLZXKZ8
#neverforget http://t.co/iy9lK3TMlf
The Broncos are looking like the opposite of @NateKreckman's favorite boy band -- *OUTOFSYNC
Makes him just dumb RT @markhaastv: Phil Simms defended Fox's horrible challenge... does that make Simms pro or anti Broncos?
I think all Broncos fans currently feel like Von Miller did on that first Miami drive.
Lauren Tannehill's husband.
Overheard in the press box: "If the Broncos lose this and at KC, they'll still be 7-5 -- that's good enough to make the Liberty Bowl."
GUYS, calm down ... it's not like he was gonna use the timeout anyway.
I bet PFM is screaming his middle name often down there.
yup MT @dmac1043: 3rd and 4 - got the right protection. Got the right matchup and PM threw it out of bounds. Now grt field position for Mia
Klis: "There are a bunch of DBs out there." Me: "Just like in LoDo last night."
TJ Ward, mad that I called him "Shark Weak," blitzed there and forced an incomplete pass
Little Von is OK
Von back out there
if he misses this, Twitter will break
He said butt.
This is Kobe not shooting to send a message
The Broncos are sticking with Peyton Manning at QB today.
Von only played the first snap... rough start for "enver"
This game means everything. And nothing.
Browns win on 37-yard FG! John Fox woulda passed on fourth down.
It's kinda sorta snowing here in Denver
Hello from football. http://t.co/ZYzxhS3JAl
And kudos to the @denverpost copy editors for the headline about the running back: Groove is in Dee Hart denverpost.com/hochman/ci_269…
Dee Hart! Amazing six-TD game for CSU's Dee, so here's my column, including 96 words starting with D: denverpost.com/hochman/ci_269…

DJ Tony Touch - It's a Queens Thing
Artist: DJ Tony Touch
Featuring: Action Bronson, Kool G Rap
Producer: Statik Selektah
Album: Piece Maker 3: Return of the 50 MCs
Avg Rating: 3.6 ( 7 votes )
NYC pride has been a running theme in today's slate of features; Big Apple spitters junclassic and Azon Blaze both stepped into the Booth with joints dedicated to their hometown, and UK rhymesayer K.I.N.E.T.I.K. paid tribute to Gotham's iconic sound on Boom Bap Babies. In a similar vein, we find mixtape legend DJ Tony Touch linking up with a couple talented neighbors to celebrate the city's easternmost borough on It's a Queens Thing, single number two off his next compilation album. First to flow over Statik Selektah's smooth sample work, Flushing fast-riser Action Bronson laces the front with his usual tightly-wound street lyricism before handing the mic to Corona-repping veteran Kool G. Rap, who lends his seasoned flow to the record's closing 16. For this Queens anthem and many more fresh cuts, check out Tony Touch's The Piece Maker 3… Return of the 50 Mcs when it drops digitally on Tuesday, July 23.

Light emitting diodes (LEDs) have numerous advantages as light sources in projectors. LEDs are more compact, exhibit a larger color gamut, have a longer lifetime, and need a lower supply voltage. However, there is still one important disadvantage: the optical power per unit of étendue (luminance) of an LED is significantly low. As a result of the étendue limitations of LEDs, the projected flux on the screen will not be high. Despite this shortcoming, LED's are still of great interest for low power applications because of their other superior properties. Thus we collect the available light flux optimally and combine multiple high luminance LEDs within the system. In this study we discuss three collection systems designed to collect the LED flux with high optical efficiency while retaining small device size. The best collection efficiency attained with our collection systems is 96%. The fabrication tolerance and cost of our collection systems are also analyzed.

I would've loved to see Deadpool speak at the funeral. I believe he might've actually been sincere in his speech, or as close to sincere as someone like him can possibly be.

This issue looks really good. I cant wait to see more of psylocke
I agree that the change in writer and artist was a bit jarring but it didn't really bother me too badly. I thought each story was pretty solid, particularly the conversation between Logan and Storm. While I enjoyed the bombshells that G-Man mentioned, I kind of feel like it took too long over the course of Second Coming to get those revelations. Overall though, I'm pretty happy with Second Coming and it definitely left me wanting to see where the X-Men go from here.

"I haven't read this comic... but with two bombshells on here... I want to read it even more! "
It was good, dude.
I prefer the single reviews.
Poor Storm.....................the only picture she has of Nightcrawler is done by Greg Land
" @Michael the Fly: Time is short and there's a lot of comics to review. We actually split up and filmed reviews separately yesterday. Stay tuned for them. "I will, btw how many pages did this issue have (normal quantity) or more?
I want to read it but I´ll have to wait because my shop gets no comics until they pay their bills :(

This set up an interesting new time ofr the X-men. I really made me want to keep on reading, but yeah...Could someone get Greg Land off the X-books? That X-23 was horrible. I wonder who he traced for her.
" @Michael the Fly: It was an oversized issue. Don't remeber the exact number off the top of my head. This set up an interesting new time ofr the X-men. I really made me want to keep on reading, but yeah...Could someone get Greg Land off the X-books? That X-23 was horrible. I wonder who he traced for her. "Thanks, it would have been strange to be a regular issue.
oh wow i never thought the last bombshell would have been like thought but i guess if i was that person id be scared to .....
The only way I could hate the the new X-Force lineup is if it included the Sentry or Speedball.
Thanks for noticing that Greg Land's X-23 could have been any brunette woman. She just doesn't look like that. Similarly, whoever drew Prodigy drew him with those ridiculous goggles. I hate those
I was sad Deadpool didn't get to say anything at the funeral....i would have wanted to see him get some kinda respect from some of the X-men for helping save Hope too.....But maybe we'll get into that when X-force starts.
Overall this was a very good issue tho =p
also lol yeah i didn't know who Wolverine was talking to till he said Laura.....Guess X-23 grew up ten years since last issue.
I think I can guess who dies in second coming no.2. It's kinda obvious who it is.
YEAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE GREG LAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HE IS MY FAVOURITE ARTIST!!!!!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! By the way, i was being sarcastic. :P

G-Man video review? Talk about a flashback.
My opinions mirror yours on this. I thought Second Coming was a bit longer than it needed to be, but overall it was good.

I didn't mind the writing in the first 2 chapters. The third was obviously Fraction, even though I hadn't read the creator credits before I read the issue.
This was such a wet fart of an ending. The day is saved, Magneto wants to adopt & mould Hope in his own image, and Hope inexplicably sparks up the Phoenix Force for no reason to spark a new surge in mutants? Lame.
This was let down by three things: Greg Land, Terry Dodson & Matt Fraction. All the way through this cross-over, they have been the biggest drawbacks. They have been the elements we've had to force ourselves to get through. Although X-Force was such a high standard of story-telling, these three creators pulled the rest of the cross-over down to below mediocre. And what's worse, they were given the responsibility to handle the finale. The big ending of the Messiah Trilogy was nothing but a disappointing & brief anti-climax.
But yeah i couldnt tell if it was x-23 or psylocke.
and this is weird. Why is x-23 in this picture if shes no longer

Why is Deadpool in X-Force? He's not a mutant. Where's Warpath, Domino, Vanisher, and Elixir?

This issue was okay, I did like the conversation between Wolverine and Storm, and Logan and Laura. The latter really showed what Logan thought of Laura and I was pretty happy with that.
@The Impersonator:
safaall to well at this point in time.
" There were a lot of technical issue wrong with this video. That aside i loved this issue. Cant wait for whats to come.
and wait"are there only six new mutants? It said so in X-men the Heroic Age i think
i just hope the current artist for x-force stays on for uncanny

I hope you guys don't stop the duel unscripted reviews, I like the conversation...ness
great to see babs off of the review, she's been a total downer lately.
where is G-Man, a wine cellar?
what's with the Greg Land hate? the man can draw some great panels. Dodson is the weak link in the X art team
Cool review, G-man! I'm definitely gonna pick this one up.
Yes, the sound was pretty bad, which is a shame because it seems like a really cool location. And what's up with the 'Price is Right' music? Ick.
Really diggin the solo review though! Harkens back to the good 'ol days. And if temporarily splitting up like this means more reviews, i'm all for it!!
Personally, as far as the first bang goes:
As far as the second bang is concerned:
I thought that the art throughout the entire issue was good, but yeah, the shifts in art was a bit jarring. Overall, the moods were all captured very well. I think the funeral was alright, but in comparison to Nighty's, it was weak overall. However:
The Beast/Namor thing was interesting, but the Wolverine/Storm stuff took the cake in this issue for me. It was interesting to see that little tete-a-tete between them, then have that reveal of the new X-Force (and yeah, G-Man...I agree about the lack of hips on Psylocke...but it also showed Archangel with wings?).
It was a decent issue and an alright way to close out Second Coming, but I was kind of hoping for a bigger bang than what I expected...which is kind of what happened with the first bang.

Picked up the first second coming and floowed what story i could though Uncanny which i pick up anyway. Got this out of curiosity and i enjoyed it, and the surprises at the end.
On another note, loved this single review. I like the double unscripted ones but it was a nice change to see the old format back in action. Good stuff G-man.
Is no one else wondering why everyone was in mission gear at a funeral? >.<
If its anything like that vid, then no he's not a tracer he's an inker
that was a poor exhibit for the prosecution.
If he is actually tracing, how is that even permissible with so many other talented artist dying to work marvel?
Land himself has said that he uses photo reference from Google image search. It is very evident when looking at his work that he traces models, and even other comic artwork regularly. He has reused the same models on more than one occasion, and sometimes recycles old images he's drawn/traced, as seen below:
" @Korg: damn, so everything is a trace? Or is that a rumor that has no credibility?"
@the_nightwalker said:
The video was mostly for humor purposes. Greg Land does pencils, not inks.
" If its anything like that vid, then no he's not a tracer he's an inker that was a poor exhibit for the prosecution."
@the_nightwalker said:
This is the million dollar question.
" If he is actually tracing, how is that even permissible with so many other talented artist dying to work marvel? "
" @PuckPuck: Maybe it's respect thing like when soldiers or police officers wear their uniforms at a service. "I guess that's disrespect for Sentry then? :P At least Rogue didn't come out and say she slept with him. >.>

I must say I find it a bit weird to see Deadpool on the same team with Wolverine, taking orders even from Wolverine. Won't they be like, I don't know, trying to kill each other? I mean, Deadpool.. Taking orders from Wolverine.. Am I the only one that finds this a bit odd?
Hmm. Anyway; I dropped X-Force a few months ago to follow Avengers. Looks like I might have to pick it up again. Oh my wallet will feel this.

The latest addition to the NOS line is NOS Fruit Punch that packs a sweet fruit flavor with a nice dose of energy. The bright red can and liquid are appealing and refreshing and, at least in our opinion, an improvement over the original formula. It's clean, crisp, and pops out at you, which, when combined with the edge of the NOS name, makes it stand out in this crowded field. Overall, a very nice addition to the NOS lineup that is certainly worth a try.

DURHAM -- Parliament Hill is reeling with the news of Whitby-Oshawa MP and former finance minister Jim Flaherty's death Thursday afternoon.
Durham MP Erin O'Toole was in the House of Commons, moments away from the start of question period, when news broke that Mr. Flaherty had fallen ill. Shortly after paramedics were called to Mr. Flaherty's Ottawa home, reports poured in that he suffered a heart attack and died.
"We're all in shock here ... The entire House was in an absolute state of shock," said Mr. O'Toole.
The House of Commons in Ottawa was suspended for the day and Queen's Park in Toronto took a recess in tribute to the long-serving politician.
Mr. O'Toole, in his first term in Ottawa, said Mr. Flaherty was a mentor to him.
"One word sums up Jim Flaherty, and that's passion. He was passionate for Canada, passionate for Ontario, passionate for Durham Region and passionate for his family and friends," said Mr. O'Toole.
Mr. Flaherty devoted his life to public service, sacrificing family time and his health, Mr. O'Toole said.
Just three weeks ago, Mr. Flaherty announced he was resigning from the federal cabinet and returning to the private sector. It was a decision he made with his family earlier this year, according to a statement issued March 18.
"It's hard to believe that he passed away like this," said Mr. O'Toole. "Particularly at a time when we were all hoping he could spend time with family ... We have to remember the incredible impact he had."
First elected to the House of Commons when the Tories took power in 2006, Mr. Flaherty was re-elected in 2008 and 2011. He was appointed Canada's minister of finance in 2006 and also served as minister responsible for the Greater Toronto Area. Mr. O'Toole said Mr. Flaherty didn't just balance the budget as finance minister, but played a key role in the creation of the Abilities Centre and UOIT.
Simcoe North MP Bruce Stanton says."It has sent a whole pall through this place," Mr. Stanton said from Ottawa Thursday afternoon. "People are pretty shaken up by it. It was so completely unexpected."
Mr. Flaherty, who resigned as finance minister a few weeks ago, died suddenly at his condominium in downtown Ottawa Thursday.
His family issued a statement, saying their "beloved husband and father passed away peacefully today in Ottawa."
Question period was halted and MPs put aside partisan politics as they dealt with news of Mr. Flaherty's death, Mr. Stanton added.
"Even though he was a colleague that was on one side of the political fence, when things like this happen it instantly breaks down those political barriers and people are more like human beings ought to be," he said.
Barrie MP Patrick Brown said he was stunned by Mr. Flaherty's death.
"He was a remarkable finance minister during one of the worst global recessions. Under his leadership Canada became the envy of the industrialized world," Mr. Brown said today.
"Jim was a dear friend. I considered him both a friend and mentor."
Mr. Flaherty had been in ill health for some time, though that was not cited as a reason for his stepping aside from cabinet earlier this year.
"Jim was always a kind of a guy who never really let the politics get in the way of his human touch," Mr. Stanton said. "He'd smile and he was a kind personality. You could tell through the body language right away.
"He was a kind and gentle man, and very thoughtful and intelligent and dedicated to the task at hand, whatever that might have been," he added.
The Ontario legislature had a 20-minute recess out of respect for Mr. Flaherty and his wife Christine Elliott, an MPP.
"He had a certain humanity about him that was obvious right at the first instance," Mr. Stanton said. "He would always lend you an ear if you had something to share with him."
