Friends are a very important part of my life. While family comes first and my husband and daughter are well aware of their pricelessness to me, my friends keep me sane in a very crazy world. They have been there through all the tough times, and I have been blessed to have quite a few who I could easily call members of my chosen family. And they are valuable to me in their own special ways.
Someone once noted that in a group of friends, there is always a sensible one, a silly one, a quiet one, a crazy one, and the one with the most heart. A statement such as this lacks merit, for people have depth, which should be cherished. These pals of mine are multifaceted, which makes their value even more precious. One cannot merely like a person based on the part of them that "is funny"; what about the rest of the person, including the not so "funny" parts? Friendships fail sometimes, for many reasons, but one great reason is because of the lack of desire to love all of a person for who they truly are.
Is Kimba Woods a Judge — or a joke? Queen Kimba recently gave a convicted 60-year-old thief 39 years to pay back the $300,567 in disability pension benefits that he virtually stole by faking a Long Island Rail Road disability. It's bad enough that she's only asking him to pay back $700 a month; but this is on top of her recent sentencing of another LIRR fraudster to pay back the $300,000 he stole at a mere $25 a month — meaning that it would theoretically take him 982(!) years (even though, according to the Bible, Methusaleh himself only made it to 969-years-old). This "sentence" would be funny if it wasn't so sad for society and the rule of law. I'd like to point out to Judge Woods (whom I'd like to sentence for judicial malpractice in my own Court of Common Sense) that the dictionary defines a "judge" as "someone capable of making rational and wise decisions." These recent decisions of hers could make even the famous iron statue of Lady Justice cry tears of shame underneath her blindfold.

"A picture does [not] say a thousand words" unless you are looking at Dorian Gray. The politicians have started early this year due to the primary season. Noted media guru Marshall McLuhan once wrote that "the medium is the message." That being the case, what is the medium deployed by our politicians and what is the message?
Currently blighting our environment are political signs, illegally posted on both public and private lands. These signs tell us the name of the candidate, the office they are seeking and their political party – but that is all. The point is that candidates pray that signs will increase their name recognition causing voters to cast their ballots for them irrespective of their otherwise lackluster records.
Celiac disease is on the rise in the United States, as well as in the United Kingdom. The autoimmune disorder, which is also known as celiac sprue, occurs in individuals who are genetically predisposed to the condition. It can occur at any age.
Symptoms of the disorder are pain and discomfort in the gastrointestinal system, chronic constipation and diarrhea, anemia, and fatigue. Infants diagnosed with the condition also suffer with a failure to thrive. Symptoms have been noted in other organ systems, and are not just adherent to the GI tract. Vitamin deficiencies are commonplace, secondary to the fact that the individual is unable to absorb nutrients in the small intestine properly. Gliadin, the gluten protein found in wheat, barley, rye, and sometimes oats, is the culprit for wreaking such havoc on the sufferer's body.
After the latest school shooting—one that claimed the life of an Oregon teen—it was revealed an Oklahoma-based company is marketing the "Bodyguard Blanket," a foldable, bright-orange pad that can be strapped onto a child's chest or back. The product promises to protect against "90 percent of all weapons that have been used in school shootings in the United States."
The Bodyguard Blanket is not a post-apocalyptic sci-fi fantasy, it is real life. Let this soak in: We now live in a country where school shootings are so routine that businesses see them as an opportunity to fill a niche and make some money. Ever industrious, America seems more prepared to flex its capitalistic muscle than figure out how to stop these mass murders.
I am a director at Drug Free Long Island, Inc. and Drug Free Massapequa (a volunteer). I am retired after 25 years with Nassau County and 18 years with the Town of Oyster Bay.
At the Town I was deputy town attorney and in charge of employees relations and also drug and alcohol matters. At three separate occasions, we had three individuals with drug and alcohol problems whose situations still haunt me. All three were desperately in need of long term inpatient care, over 30 days. Even I could tell by observation (as well as their doctor`s and therapists' evaluations) that these were seriously ill people simply by listening to their speech patterns. Inpatient therapy had been ordered for them. The insurance company said no, not until they had failed two outpatient courses of treatment. The alcohol abuser had. He was initially placed for 30-60 days inpatient, but against therapist orders he was terminated from treatment after 15 days. He was dead a few weeks later.
Recently there have been many tragic situations — unexplainable actions by desperate, stressed, mentally ill and suicidal people.
We, as a nation, seem to forget the millions of poor, needy and ill citizens. We pass by homeless veterans, many of us without a thought of helping them. We see runaway teenagers and we ignore them. Our leaders, so self righteous in their speeches about the American people, then with their next vote, remove millions from SNAP benefits.
The Department of Veterans' Affairs (VA) has come under fire for delays with veterans' benefits and care at their facilities. While I have already called for a criminal investigation into wrongdoing at the VA, I am writing to inform readers of my bill that would enact a common-sense solution to ensure veterans aren't left waiting for claims.
Currently, New York veterans wait an average of 297 days to receive disability compensation and benefits, a time table that falls far short of the 125-day goal the VA has set for filling these claims. This is unacceptable.
Having just watched season one of the cable television series The Americans. in which Russian spies kill our own FBI agents in Washington D.C., I question the wisdom and the "fairness" of the Oyster Bay Town Board's waiving of parking and beach permit fees for Russian diplomats; while charging American citizen Town of Oyster Bay residents, who live in Hicksville, Plainview, Old Bethpage, Oyster Bay, East Norwich, Syosset, Jericho, Massapequa, Glen Cove, Farmingdale, Woodbury, Locust Valley, Sea Cliff, Bayville, Brookville, Muttontown, Mill Neck, Bethpage, Lattingtown, and other fine, upstanding communities, $60 for annual automobile beach stickers.
We are glad Gary Feldman wrote the article "Saving The Bees—And Ourselves—Begins At Home" May 21-May 27, telling us how invaluable our bees are. But he didn't go far enough. Yes, we can have bee attracting plants in organic, pesticide free backyards and "grow colonies." However, without signing online petitions (NRDC and Credo, etc.) to the Environmental Protection Agency and to our representatives, the neonicotoids and other chemicals, will kill them off. Even now, Dow and Sygenta want to use more powerful pesticides which will put the nail in the coffin. A grassroots groundswell is needed to push laws like those in Europe. It is long past due.

Is Simon Cowell trying to sign Robert Pattinson to a record deal?
UK newspaper The Sun is reporting that the American Idol judge has approached the Twilight heartthrob about signing with his Syco label.
R-Patz has expressed interest in pursuing a music career, but a source says he's hesitant to sign with Cowell, who would certainly want to turn him into a pop star.
Simon isn't the only one interested in Robert; apparently a bidding war has now begun, which shows Twi-hards aren't the only ones who are Robsessed.

An interesting thing to add about this situation is the fact that Ross has rapped about far worse things, killing people selling cocaine, fucking multiples "hoes" ect… and was not dropped in fact this is what got his sponsored by Reebok, not that rapping about date rape is okay — but it shows what "professional" companies see as acceptable in rap. Very interesting.
Info about the song:
Listening to the song, the ascending synth sounds in the background is very similar to the sound effects that were seem in old games on the Nintendo 64 , one notable one is Mario Kart 64 — listen to the intro music and how similar it is.
What is the connection you may think, Kanye throughout the song makes references to popular culture such as Star Wars ,Biggie ect. What if he is using the whole beat itself to reference to popular games from the 90's ?
He may not have sampled video game music but there is definitely some influence there.
delete the song link , its some phaggot kid
Slight word correction on second line it's
"Never that not when I'm in my favorite papertag"
Also comparing this to the last two words in the line 2 spots above ("Lord's ladder") alliteration is also used here again ("made me mad") this has the effect of making the end of these lines speed up when pronounced.
This effectively makes this line take less time to say that others in the verse.
Note that at the beginning of this line Ross pauses briefly saying "Uh" this is to pause for time so that the rest of the line keeps in time with the beat and the rest of the song.
Very good line.
They also scream "retreat" when they are running away from the Autobots.
Also the Game here is having a "fuck it" attitude towards the cops stopping him, the real reason the stopped him was because he was black but they are using what they found to justify the stop. The Game is like fuck it I will do what I want in my car cause I will be stopped weather I am legal or not.
As stated earlier the girl in question is hot and desirable, she is saying she will not beg for anything as she does not need to (it is beneath her).
Also referring to Kobe's work ethic, the one can get as skilled as him is through practice — and Kobe is known for doing late night practice sessions , while you sleep he gets sharper, faster, better.

As if the disproportionate popularity of subreddits like men's rights and League of Legends weren't evidence enough, a new study from Pew Internet Research confirms what we've suspected all along: Reddit is mostly dudes.
According to the survey of 2,252 American adults, 15 percent of all male internet users between the ages of 18 and 29 say they use Reddit in some capacity, versus just 5 percent of women in the same age range.
Those numbers drop sharply in the 30-to-49 demographic: 8 percent of men use the site versus 5 percent of women. Overall, researchers found that 6 percent of all American adults on the internet use Reddit.
One of the more interesting findings, though, may be that Reddit could be less white than previously believed. The team found that 5 percent of non-Hispanic whites surveyed said they use the so-called "front page of the internet," compared with 4 percent of non-Hispanic blacks and 11 percent of Hispanics. It should be noted that the number of whites surveyed (1,331 total) was far larger than the number of blacks (207) and Hispanics (196).

Caring for our Country program extended
Tuesday, 08/05/2012

Share this:
The Caring for our Country program has been extended for another five years, with the Government committing $2.2 billion.
The program will be delivered under two streams, one for the environment and one for agriculture.
In 2013-14, Caring for our Country will get nearly $400 million and will focus on contributing to costs associated with the Commonwealth to meet international obligations and contributing to the long-term future of Australia's food and fibre production.
However, about $123 million that would have gone to Caring for our Country has been pulled out.
$110 million will be spent on helping the Tasmanian forest industry move to what the Government says is "a more sustainable footing". The remaining $13.2 million will go back to Government coffers to be spent elsewhere.
The environment stream includes the Working on Country and Environmental Stewardship programs. The agricultural stream includes the Landcare program.
"Separate streams will allow for greater emphasis on the role farming communities play in keeping our land productive, and the projects that are needed to support their efforts," Agriculture Minister Joe Ludwig said in a statement.
"A stream dedicated to agriculture means our farmers and farming communities will directly benefit."
The Landcare component of Caring for our Country includes $189 million over five years from 2008. The Government says Community Action Grants will continue to be made available of amounts from $5,000 to $20,000 to deliver projects to support sustainable farming.
The Government is also allocating $96 million over seven years for pest and disease eradication under the Caring for Our Country program.
The additional funding will add to current efforts to eradicate pests like chestnut blight and red imported fire ant, and four tropical weeds.[an error occurred while processing this directive]

Health care reform's employer mandate delayed until 2015
Send this to a friend
- Kent Hoover
- Washington Bureau Chief
- Email | Twitter | Google
The Obama administration is delaying health care reform's employer mandate until 2015 to give businesses another year to prepare for this requirement.
Mark Mazur, assistant Treasury secretary for tax policy, made this news official in a blog on the Treasury Department's web site posted shortly after Bloomberg broke the news late Tuesday afternoon.
Under the Affordable Care Act, employers with 50 or more workers are required to provide health coverage to their workers or pay a penalty. The mandate was scheduled to begin in 2014.
But Mazur noted that businesses had complained the reporting rules for this mandate were too complex and had asked for more time to comply with them.
"We recognize that the vast majority of businesses that will need to do this reporting already provide health insurance to their workers, and we want to make sure it is easy for others to do so," Mazur wrote.
So the administration is pushing back the mandate's reporting requirements until 2015.
"This is designed to meet two goals," Mazure wrote. "First, it will allow us to consider ways to simplify the new reporting requirements consistent with the law. Second, it will provide time to adapt health coverage and reporting systems while employers are moving toward making health coverage affordable and accessible for their employees."
Formal guidance on this delay will be coming from the Treasury Department within a week. The department still hopes to publish proposed rules this summer on health coverage reporting requirements for employers and insurers. Once these rules are issued, the Obama administration will "work with employers, insurers, and other reporting entities to strongly encourage them to voluntarily implement this information reporting in 2014, in preparation for the full application of the provisions in 2015. Real-world testing of reporting systems in 2014 will contribute to a smoother transition to full implementation in 2015."

New Zealand comic group makes the leap from Youtube to HBO
By Mark Hughes Cobb
Tusk Editor
August 10, 2007
Email this story.
Being New Zealands fourth most popular guitar-based digi-bongo acapella-rap-funk-comedy folk duo (as they call themselves) might make Flight of the Conchords seem an unlikely choice for HBO.
Viewing their Youtube sitdowns (as folk music comics, they dont do standups), its hard to picture what the cable system behind The Sopranos," Curb Your Enthusiasm," Deadwood" and Sex in the City" was thinking.
Theyre not that funny, even though Jemaine Clement (the one who looks like a young Stephen King) and Bret McKenzie (the one who resembles every Starbucks barista or the guy from a 60s band who died young) do have a terrific, easy chemistry.
But even New Zealand must have at least six or seven comic folk duos who are funnier.
FOTC seems to have caught on as Tenacious Ds 15 minutes ran out a year or so ago, about the time the flop Tenacious D in The Pick Of Destiny" oozed out of theaters.
What the boys are is silly and kind of clever.
If youre in the right mood, that can work. Working with the deadpan idiot model that Steve Martin virtually invented in the late 70s, theyre much better on HBO than on stage.
While their songs are still juvenile jokes, monotonous in acoustic duet style, HBO allows them to stretch out.
The music video-like images of the guys purportedly moving to America and trying to make it -- and score with chicks -- give you something to fasten on besides Jemaines unfortunate muttonchops.
For example, Inner City Pressure" from Episode 2 is a dead ringer for those 80s Brit-pop vids, complete with cheesy synthesizers, staggered close-ups and somber strolls through bleak vistas. Episode 8s Foux Da Fa Fa" uses only phrases from a French 101 textbook, shot in a mockery of early 60s Eurotrash film.
Occasionally FOTC does become as clever as it thinks it is, as in Hiphopopotamus vs the Rhymenocerous":
They call me the hip-/shoppopotamus/my lyrics are bottomless ... " Long awkward pause while Jemaine gathers his thoughts. They call me the Hiphopopotamus/Flows that glow like phosphorous/Poppin off the top of this esophagus/Rockin this metropolis/Im not a large water-dwelling mammal/Where did you get that preposterous hypothesis?/Did Steve tell you that, perchance?/Steve."
In Business Time," you hear what Barry White might have sung were he two white New Zealanders playing acoustic folk parody: The next thing you know were in the bathroom brushing our teeth/Thats all part of it, thats foreplay/Foreplay is very important in love making/Then you go sort out the recycling/Which isnt part of the foreplay, but its still very important."
Obviously the charm is in personality and performance. Like most lyrics, theirs tend to lay flat on the page. A David Bowie odyssey works only when you hear Jemaine doing his dead-on Thin White Duke impersonation, gliding from quavering baritone to bird-chirping falsetto over self-referential, nonsensical lyrics.
And maybe its the overall wearing-you-down affect, but I did find A Kiss Is Not a Contract" quite amusing:
Just because weve been playing tonsil hockey/doesnt mean you get to score the goal thats in my jockey."

Cassidian has been commissioned by Germany's Federal Office of Defense Technology and Procurement (BWB) to deliver a further 400 units of the Future Soldier System (Infanterist der Zukunft) in its basic version (IdZ BS).
This is part of an immediate procurement measure to meet the needs of the Bundeswehr forces deployed in Afghanistan in the context of the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) mission.
It means that another 400 Bundeswehr soldiers will be supported by the tried and tested soldier system for mission preparation and execution. This new delivery will raise the Bundeswehr's total number of IdZ BS equipment sets to 2,900.
An IdZ BS system for equipping an infantry squad (ten soldiers) consists of an identical basic configuration for all soldiers (including modular bullet-proof vest in protection class I to IV, C4I equipment including NaviPad for situational awareness and transmitting messages, target data and images, night vision device, tactical radio) and various special items (such as laser range finder, camera, thermal image sighting device).
The system entered service with the Army, Navy and Air Force back in 2004 and has since proved its worth on the Bundeswehr's foreign missions. It offers soldiers not only protection but also highly increased capabilities in terms of command and control, navigation and weaponry.
In view of the increasingly asymmetric threat situations arising and the challenges presented by missions within the context of network-enhanced operations, enhancing effectiveness, assertiveness, protection and rapid and secure information exchange via more powerful information and communication systems for the deployed infantry forces is of ever greater importance.
Cassidian, an EADS company, is a worldwide leader in global security solutions and systems, providing Lead Systems Integration and value-added products and services to civil and military customers around the globe: air systems (aircraft and unmanned aerial systems), land, naval and joint systems, intelligence and surveillance, cyber security, secure communications, test systems, missiles, services and support solutions.

Argh! Shiver me timbers, Monday is Talk Like a Pirate Day, so I offer a thematic scavenger hunt for little kids.
Some folks might tell you that to be a pirate, all you need is an eye patch. Or a parrot. Or a peg leg. But in my house, all you really need is the head scarf (and please, don't call it a ribbon!) Holden got this little outfit as part of a pirate-themed birthday party he attended. And luckily Milo got a matching ensemble.
When we want to indulge our inner pirate, we don't need to go any further than the house because a scavenger hunt can be as easy as you want to make it.
My friend Sunny says that she and her then-four-year old could wile away the minutes with their indoor hunts:
I make a list of things around the house (mirror, refrigerator, etc.) and ask him to find these things, then he crosses them off the paper. I try to challenge him a little by saying, "where do you see your reflection?", "what keeps the food cold?". You get the picture. He loves to cross things out. We did this one day for about 1/2 hour.
If thinking of household items is not your specialty, I have a brief list for you to adapt (oh yeah, worth noting, these are things you FIND, not things you grab and put in a box) — make it longer or shorter based on what your kid can handle:
- bathroom mirror (where do you see your reflection when you brush your teeth?)
- refrigerator (what keeps our food cold?)
- front door (where do we leave the house?)
- kitchen sink (where do we wash the dishes?)
I originally wrote this post for the Savvy Source blog and it appeared there when my big boy was only three. Awww. I share it with you now as an attempt to be on maternity leave from my mommy blog.

The following New Hyde Park-Garden City Park students; Nicole Joseph, grade 6, Vishwajit Sharma, grade 6 Manor Oaks, and Saumya Sharma, grade 6, who graduated from Manor Oaks in June, were selected to participate in the Institute for Creative Problem Solving and were accepted into the SUNY Program. They competed on Dec. 1, in 20 problem-solving sessions at SUNY Old Westbury.
The holiday season throughout the world is rooted in traditions and celebrations. In the New Hyde Park-Garden City Park School District, students celebrate with a display of their talents at the Annual Christmas Concert and art display at each of our four schools. The community is reminded that the dates for these concerts are posted on the district website, and everyone is encouraged to attend, free of charge, for a great night out.
Students also have an opportunity during this season to be of service to the less fortunate in the community and state. Students in each of the schools under the leadership of elected members of each school's student government are currently involved in a variety of service projects all related to the Character Education Program. Students are currently involved in collecting gloves, hats, mittens and scarves displayed on their "Apparel Christmas Trees," and other students are involved in food and clothing drives this season for victims of Hurricane Sandy. Some schools are working with the United States Marine Corps and doing a "Toys for Tots" Christmas Drive. No matter what the service project entails, the district is extremely proud of all the students and staff for reaching out and helping others.
In an age of educational accountability, this is a demonstration of a well-rounded, productive member of society and a clear fulfillment of our Mission Statement.
Happy Holidays to all.

Despite a disappointing playoff loss against the Wantagh Warriors, Sewanhaka Indians Head Coach George Kasimatis, is pleased with his football team's season.
"I'm proud of my team," he said. "But you are never satisfied unless you win the whole thing."
The Indians faced a big challenge this year, moving up into Conference II left them as the new kids on the block, unfamiliar with the teams they would be going against.
Kasimatis will have a tall task next year replacing graduating seniors, which made up most of his starting lineup. Kasimatis said most of the offensive line, such as Danny Gianotti, Adrian Gonzalez and Louis Segarra III, and the defensive line, such as Justin Alexandre, Peter LaTorre and Peter Militano are seniors, many of which have started multiple years for him.

The fifth seeded Sewanhaka Indians traveled to Wantagh to take on the fourth seeded Wantagh Warriors on Friday, Nov. 7 for its opening playoff game.
The Indians opened the game sluggish on offense, and were held in check throughout the first quarter. The Indians defense did its best to keep the team within striking distance, but field position form shaky special teams play, put them in a difficult position.
Warriors running back Dylan Beckwith, was able to punch in a 15-yard touchdown run, to give the Warriors a one score lead after the first quarter.

President Obama: Anti-LGBT Discrimination is "Not Who We Are as Americans"
March 13, 2013 by HRC staff
Post submited by Dan Rafter, Former HRC Associate Director of Communications
President Obama will reiterate his support for marriage equality in an ABC News interview with George Stephanopoulos set to air on 'Nightline' later tonight. In a transcript provided by ABC, the President tells Stephanopoulos that he sees no reason for any state to discriminate against loving, committed same-sex couples who want to marry:
My hope is that the Court looks at the evidence and- and in the California case, for example, the only reason presented for treating gays and lesbians differently was, "Well, they're gay and lesbian." There wasn't a real rationale beyond that. In fact…all the other rights and responsibilities of a civil union were identical to marriage. It's just you couldn't call it marriage. Well, at that point, what you're really saying is: "We're just gonna treat these folks differently because of who they are." And I do not think that's who are as Americans.
'Nightline' airs at 12:35am tonight.
Last month, the Obama administration made history by filing a brief at the Supreme Court arguing for the first time on behalf of the U.S. Government that a law denying loving and committed gay and lesbian couples the ability to marry is unconstitutional.

A hero is born
Disney's 'Big Hero 6,' lovable robot Baymax delight
It may be time for Olaf to step down as our nation's reigning cartoon character. Big Hero 6, the latest animated feature from Disney, contains a challenger to the throne: Baymax (Scott Adsit), another lovably chubby white wonder, who will bring joy to children's hearts and invade every home in America inside a six-foot pile of Disney merchandise.
Big Hero 6 (based ever so slightly on a Marvel comic of the same name) is the story of Baymax – and also his closest companion Hiro Hamada (Ryan Potter). And then also their four friends, all of whom join together to form the titular superhero team.
At first, though, it's only Hiro, a young boy and an engineering prodigy, who'd rather spend his time in underground robot fight clubs than do something productive with his gifts. > Read more.
Authentically Italian
Bella's feels – and tastes – like Italy should
Short Pump is known for its share of chain restaurants and strip malls, but diners looking for something more distinct can certainly find it without heading downtown or to nearby Charlottesville.
In fact, local husband-and-wife restaurateurs Valeria Bisenti and Doug Muir brought a taste of Charlottesville (and Italy) to Short Pump when they took a chance and opened Bella's second location in the same shopping strip as Wal-Mart and Peter Chang China Cafe. (Bella's original location is on Main Street in downtown Charlottesville.)
For a local Italian restaurant, Bella's is as "Mom and Pop" as its gets. Valeria is Mom, and Doug is Pop. Since its opening about six months ago, diners have been eating rich comfort foods and drinking Italian wines. > Read more.

Customer Reviews & Questions for Kryptonite KryptoFlex 7 Foot Cable Bike Lock
Double-looped cable for use with all Kryptonite U-locks, disc locks and padlocks. Braided steel cable has greater core density than twisted cable, increasing cut resistance.read more
Your Wiggle price:$17.95Buy Now
Kryptonite Kryptonite KryptoFlex 7 Foot Cable Bike Lock 4.7 5 155 155
Solid lock A great way to extend the protection offered by my D-lock. 13 July 2010
A good deterrant Looks a well made cable. Good for putting though wheels in conjuction with a solid U-Lock. I would look at it as deterrant to stop the oppertunistic theft. It would be fairly easy to cut this cable with a decent set of bolt croppers in seconds. But most lock can be cut/broken with the right tools. 11 July 2010
Excellent value cable lock! The lock is perfect length if you want to properly secure a bike to a bike-rack, it spans both wheels comfortably and is also quite easily foldable - its light weight makes it also easy to pack up and move around in a backpack. In short, a very good choice for a urban commuter. Its price also justifies being left with a solid lock at your destination rather than being carried all the time. 02 July 2010
Does what it's meant to do Bought this so that I could chain up my family's cycles - four girls, so we spend more time looking than cycling. Does exactly what I wanted 30 June 2010
Super Safe A fantastic product - I never worry about my bike when I use this. Perfect for looping around the front wheel and locking to a D-Lock for extra security. Light weight, flexible, easy to carry on your bike. 28 June 2010
Does the job! So far, I've just used this cable to secure my bike in my van, which it does. Smashing. More than that, I can't yet say! 28 June 2010
Better than I think.Good quality.This product has a good appearance and seems to be resistant. 04 January 2010
Excellent Quality Combined this with another lock to increase length of existing cable so I can lock up all wheels more securely. 29 October 2014
Very useful and affordable I'm very impressed with this cable using it combined with a d-lock to make sure that quick release wheels etc don't go missing and to form a tangle with other bikes in the shed. I thought 7 foot would be fine, but looking at it I wish I'd paid extra for the longer one or I might just need to get another of these. Cable is coated so is friendly up against the bike frame and components. Once opened out goes straight! I've got older cable locks that maintain the curly nature and make it difficult to thread trough. This one is perfect and used alongside a good quality main lock I can see it being a great deterrent. 25 October 2014
Good Cable Good quality cable, very well rubber-padded and won't damage your carbon bike. Could do with a SoldSecure rating! 23 October 2014
Quality product ! This is the seventh I've bought of these (not because they need replacing), very strong provides peace of mind ! 21 October 2014
Does what a cable lock is supposed to do This cable goes through wheels and frame and around a post. It is relatively robust and still easy to store when not in use so it goes with me basically everywhere. Price is good too. 10 October 2014
Excellent value for money The wire is much thicker than it looks like in the product images. It makes almost any locking cable you see around town look thin. Also, the design is really attractive and the cable generally feels very solid. 08 October 2014
Perfect for securing front wheel Perfect for use with your existing D-Lock, this lets you secure your front wheel. The cable seems well made and secure, and is surprisingly hefty. 01 October 2014
Strong, flexible cable to fully secure your bike Glad I went for the 7 foot cable as it gets around both wheels combined with my U-lock to enable me to lock up just about anywhere. Reasonable price as well and I think any thieves would probably just find another bike if they came across it. Only as good as your lock though. 29 September 2014
Flexible and robust Good quality and with a length of 7 feet it is enough to lock both wheels and frame to a post. 27 September 2014
Great product I love these cables, this is now my second one. It gives piece of mind when combined with my Kryptonite U lock when leaving our bikes. It allows us to lock our bikes together making them safer as more of a hassle to pinch (I hope!). 18 September 2014
Great Lock and cable for locking multiple bikes. I needed a good secure lock that i could lock three bikes together with while in a town centre. This combination worked really well and i felt confident that they would all be there when i returned. 17 September 2014
Strong & Flexable Use this to go around the frame and both wheels which fits easily. Well made presume it would be difficult to cut, hope I never find out though. 25 August 2014
Great Solid, job done. Your bike is secure. Works well when combined with a cable. 25 August 2014
Solid Looks and feels solid. Length is just about right to get around both wheels, frame and a lamp post or whatever... Glad I chose it over the shorter version. For storage during riding... its flexible enough to wrap once around my seat post, and I let the rest rest on my rack. Not sure how you could attach it to a bike without the rack. I didn't bother with the D-lock for space issues and instead went for a bulky looking padlock. Feel very safe leaving it about with this set up. Or at least, it hasn't been stolen yet! 07 August 2014
very strong and well made This cable supple enough to wrap around your bike/s nice feature that you can push the loops through each other and thus use like a lasso and lock to a bolt down etc. 06 August 2014
Good quality cable This is a robust cable, good for wrapping through a second wheel and connecting to your main lock. 13 July 2014
Its a cable for a lock. Does what it says. Not too heavy, but feels substantial; pretty well finished with plastic coating so not too worried about scratching. The main reason for buying, though, was that its long - ideal for locking to lampposts and small trees. 04 July 2014
Prevented theft of my bikes I used this cable, along with a top notch padlock, to secure 3 bikes in my shed. Woke up to find my shed door on the lawn, but all bikes still in shed. Thieves abandoned their attempt, presumably because they had no cutters to cope with this cable (they could not physically manhandle 3 bikes simultaneously through the shed door). It saved me approx. 7000 pounds in replacement bike costs. 29 June 2014
Perfect for commuting I commute and leave my bike at the train station. The length of the cable means that not only is my bike secure but both my quick release wheels are too! Although a little bulky it still fits in to my pannier easily. I am tempted to buy the kryptonite dlock now as my current dlock only has one key and is rather bulky. 12 June 2014
Just the job!! Bought for recent C2C and it was lightweight and secured the bike well - very pleased!. 01 June 2014
Does the job Long enough for many bikes locked up together. No issues at all. ... Just add a good lock and ground anchor. 29 May 2014
Not so flexible Seems good and strong. Nobody has stolen my bike. Its not hugely flexible though and can take a few goes to fit into a rucksack. 18 May 2014
Solid Product Does exactly what it says on the tin. Simple to use, fairly lightweight so no issues carrying in a backpack and is long enough to secure wheels and frame. 14 April 2014

Answer:When coiled, even tightly, I am afraid that this lock is still quite large and unlikely to fit in a saddle pack I am afraid.

Answer:The cable is 1cm thick and the loop's internal diameter is ~6.25cm long and ~3cm in its widest part. I used a small padlock with approximately 2cm long and 1cm wide internal diameter and it just exactly fit.
So generally if you have a padlock that has a 2cm internal diameter at its widest/longest you will be fine.

Answer:The would be thief will cut the weakest part. So either get a beefy lock and loss the chain or a weaker padlock and keep the chain.

Additional information about whatnickname could not be loaded.
Answer:No it's unrated.
It would not meet the sold secure standards alone, so is unrated. These cables are a great additional security device for securing removable accessories such as QR wheels / forks / seats.
To be effective they should be used in conjunction with a decent approved chain lock or U - lock. I would not use these cables alone to anchor or secure my bike to an immovable object. I would use a Sold Secure approved Lock. A criminal with a decent pair of bolt cutters could cut these cables in a short period of time. Don't rely upon them alone to safeguard your pride and joy.

How big are the loops? (internal diameter). Will they fit over the ends of a Abus Granit Steel O Flex 1000?
Answer:The internal diameter of the loops are ~6.25cm long and ~3cm on the widest part. The cable is 1cm thick.
Unfortunately I don't have an Abus Granit Steel O Flex 1000, so I won't be able to give you information if it will fit with that or not. Hopefully someone else will be able to answer that for you.

Answer:a teardrop shaped 5inches - one and a quarter inch at its widest but sliiightly plyable. i can (with a little persuasion due to rubber grips against the rubberised coating of the cable) get it over the end of the handlebar which is about 3inch in diameter.. and that's without altering the teardrop shape of the loop.

Answer:I use it with one of these ABU378012KS2 - an ABUS also, but dont know how it compares to yours. It has 12mm diameter hexagonal links. The loops are a tight push, so don't think you can push them to the centre of the chain. I put mine over the first link and lock up. Hope this helps

Faces of Sandy: Dawne Alvarado
Dawne Alvarado, 41, is still learning to adjust to the "new normal" after Sandy sent waves crashing through her Island Park home. The house has been restored, but still needs to be raised, some neighbors are not back in their homes and she lost most of her possessions. She was able to save some Christmas ornaments that had belonged to her grandmother. As the mother of two young kids, Alvarado said her children have motivated her to "get through each day for them."

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - Tallahassee police have shot two armed robbery suspects following a foot chase through Florida State University.
Two of the three crime scenes were on campus near the Florida State Fine Arts Building, but police spokesman Scott Beck says there are no other suspects and no Florida State students or administrators were involved.
The unidentified suspects fled on foot when officers attempted to stop their vehicle Monday. Officers chased the suspects and eventually shot them. They were taken to the hospital and are in custody.
No further details were available.

Disable Ease of Access Button on Vista Logon Screen - How-To Geek
This is what I used for windows vista but I think it may be the same in Windows 7
Hi Guys,
Does anyone know if it is possible to use group policy to remove the icons for EoA and OSK from the Windows 7 logon screen, I work in schools and I have setup a Win 2008 R2 vanilla server with Win 7 clients, but it is driving the teachers nuts that the kids can bring up the on screen keyboard and change Ease of Access settings all the time....
Any help would be much appreciated, I have scoured GP and can't find anything.......
Disable Ease of Access Button on Vista Logon Screen - How-To Geek
This is what I used for windows vista but I think it may be the same in Windows 7
Yeah I looked at that, but its vista only and I need to be able to do it via group policy to 100+ workstations, don't fancy going around all of them one by one, but thank you for the post, it's appreciated.
Cheers Ben, tried that this am, did a gpupdate /force, but nothing doing, again, thanks for the reply....there has to be a way....but MS don't seem to be sharing from what I have googled......
Have checked the permissions to see if it actually applied?
Or a software restriction policy to stop it running.
morphears (12th May 2012)
Yeah, did a GP modelling test and it didn't apply, i'm really lost here, I know my stuff but this one has really got me.....any fellow analysts who can help me out, I plead to your superior knowledge, maybe MS have finally got me stumped....and I don't like to be one to admit that....
Sorry - at home now and can't check, but I'll remote in and have a look - I have managed to disable this (click the button, nothing happens). This is a custome GP setting so can be changed back if problems arise. Has saved so much messing about and hassle.
Hi all,
I used this method -
Restrict Access to "ease of access"
Basically you make a registry change through group policy and create a file that when you try and access EOA it goes to that file instead. Hope it helps you guys. However we are having to revisit as we have students that are visually impaired and need access to the magnifying glass sooo some extra thought is needed for us.
I disable the access to the Control Panel and it gives the students a popup stating they do not have access to the EoA stuff. However, one of the kids has figured out a method around this. I am further investigating the latter.
This is what I found and has worked for us:
Removing 'Ease of Access' in Windows 7 via GPO
- Start up Group Policy Management console and create/edit a policy you want this to apply to
- Navigate to Computer Configuration > Policies > Windows Settings > Security Settings > File System
- Right Click 'File System' and select 'Add file'
- Point to the file 'c:\windows\system32\utilman.exe' (this is the launcher for the button)
- Set ACL permissions to Users : Deny; Administrators : Deny; System : Deny
This should then disable the accessibility launcher from the button and via any shortcuts in Windows. Of course, should you need accessibility you would need to reverse the above changes via a targeted GPO.

I know I am bumping an old thread, but in addition to the above, to disable the On Screen Keyboard which is present do the same as what AnthonyJ says, but find osk.exe in the system32 folder.
SeanVin (24th October 2012)
Resurrecting an old thread
I had disabled Ease of Access using the methid @AnthoyJ outlined.
Reversing the permissions in the policy doesn't appear to work, is this because I denied the administrator group access.
How would I override these old security settings ?
Thanks in advance
