Significant reduction in
the proportion of PsA patients with enthesitis
Week 14
45% reduction from baseline in the proportion of REMICADE® 5 mg/kg patients with enthesitis (P=0.023)2
Week 54
50% reduction from baseline in the proportion of REMICADE® 5 mg/kg patients with enthesitis after 1 year1,2
44% reduction from Week 24 to Week 54 in the proportion of patients with enthesitis after crossing over from placebo to REMICADE® 5 mg/kg1,2
IMPACT 2 (Induction and Maintenance Psoriatic Arthritis Clinical Trial 2): a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter, phase 3 study of REMICADE® in 200 patients with active PsA for at least 6 months who had an inadequate response to DMARDs or NSAIDs. Patients had active articular disease (≥5 swollen and tender joints each), psoriatic target skin lesion (≥2 cm in diameter), and either CRP ≥1.5 mg/dL or morning stiffness lasting ≥45 minutes. Stable methotrexate (MTX) doses of ≤25 mg/week at study entry and stable oral corticosteroid doses equivalent to ≤10 mg/day of prednisone were permitted. During the 24-week, double-blind phase, patients received either REMICADE® 5 mg/kg (n=100) or placebo (n=100) at Weeks 0, 2, 6, 14, and 22. At Week 16, placebo patients with <10% improvement in swollen and tender joint counts were switched to active treatment and received REMICADE® 5 mg/kg at Weeks 16, 18, 22, 30, 38, and 46. At Week 24, all patients receiving placebo crossed over to active treatment and received REMICADE® 5 mg/kg (n=91) at Weeks 24, 26, 30, 38, and 46. Primary endpoints included the proportion of patients with
ACR20 response at Week 14 and the change from baseline in total modified van der Heijde-Sharp (vdH-S) score at Week 24. Improvement in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) was evaluated in psoriatic arthritis patients with baseline body surface area (BSA) ≥3% (n=87, placebo; n=83, REMICADE®).
1. REMICADE® (infliximab) Prescribing Information. Janssen Biotech, Inc.
2. Data on file. Janssen Biotech, Inc.
REMICADE® is indicated for:Crohn's Disease
- Reducing signs and symptoms and inducing and maintaining clinical remission in adult patients with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease (CD) who have had an inadequate response to conventional therapy
- Reducing the number of draining enterocutaneous and rectovaginal fistulas and maintaining fistula closure in adult patients with fistulizing CD

- Reducing signs and symptoms, inducing and maintaining clinical remission and mucosal healing, and eliminating corticosteroid use in adult patients with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC) who have had an inadequate response to conventional therapy
- Reducing signs and symptoms and inducing and maintaining clinical remission in pediatric patients 6 years of age and older with moderately to severely active UC who have had an inadequate response to conventional therapy
- Reducing signs and symptoms, inhibiting the progression of structural damage, and improving physical function in patients with moderately to severely active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in combination with methotrexate (MTX)
- Reducing signs and symptoms of active arthritis, inhibiting the progression of structural damage, and improving physical function in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA)
- Reducing signs and symptoms in patients with active ankylosing spondylitis (AS)
- The treatment of adult patients with chronic severe (ie, extensive and/or disabling) plaque psoriasis who are candidates for systemic therapy and when other systemic therapies are medically less appropriate
Patients treated with REMICADE® (infliximab) are at increased risk for developing serious infections that may lead to hospitalization or death. Most patients who developed these infections were taking concomitant immunosuppressants such as methotrexate or corticosteroids. Discontinue REMICADE® if a patient develops a serious infection or sepsis.
Reported infections include:
- Active tuberculosis (TB), including reactivation of latent TB. Patients frequently presented with disseminated or extrapulmonary disease. Patients should be tested for latent TB before and during treatment with REMICADE®.1,2 Treatment for latent infection should be initiated prior to treatment with REMICADE®.
- Invasive fungal infections, including histoplasmosis, coccidioidomycosis, candidiasis, aspergillosis, blastomycosis and pneumocystosis. Patients may present with disseminated, rather than localized, disease. Empiric anti-fungal therapy should be considered in patients at risk for invasive fungal infections who develop severe systemic illness.
- Bacterial, viral, and other infections due to opportunistic pathogens, including Legionella and Listeria.
The risks and benefits of treatment with REMICADE® should be carefully considered prior to initiating therapy in patients with chronic or recurrent infection. Closely monitor patients for the development of signs and symptoms of infection during and after treatment with REMICADE®, including the possible development of TB in patients who tested negative for latent TB infection prior to initiating therapy.
Risk of infection may be higher in patients greater than 65 years of age, pediatric patients, patients with co-morbid conditions and/or patients taking concomitant immunosuppressant therapy. In clinical trials, other serious infections observed in patients treated with REMICADE® included pneumonia, cellulitis, abscess, and skin ulceration.
Lymphoma and other malignancies, some fatal, have been reported in children and adolescent patients treated with TNF blockers, including REMICADE®. Approximately half of these cases were lymphomas, including Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The other cases represented a variety of malignancies, including rare malignancies that are usually associated with immunosuppression and malignancies that are not usually observed in children and adolescents. The malignancies occurred after a median of 30 months after the first dose of therapy. Most of the patients were receiving concomitant immunosuppressants.
Postmarketing cases of hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma, a rare type of T-cell lymphoma, have been reported in patients treated with TNF blockers, including REMICADE®. These cases have had a very aggressive disease course and have been fatal. All reported REMICADE® cases have occurred in patients with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis and the majority were in adolescent and young adult males. All of these patients had received treatment with azathioprine or 6-mercaptopurine concomitantly with REMICADE® at or prior to diagnosis. Carefully assess the risks and benefits of treatment with REMICADE®, especially in these patient types.
In clinical trials of all TNF inhibitors, more cases of lymphoma were observed compared with controls and the expected rate in the general population. However, patients with Crohn's disease, rheumatoid arthritis, or plaque psoriasis may be at higher risk for developing lymphoma. In clinical trials of some TNF inhibitors, including REMICADE®, more cases of other malignancies were observed compared with controls. The rate of these malignancies among patients treated with REMICADE® was similar to that expected in the general population whereas the rate in control patients was lower than expected. Cases of acute and chronic leukemia have been reported with postmarketing TNF-blocker use. As the potential role of TNF inhibitors in the development of malignancies is not known, caution should be exercised when considering treatment of patients with a current or a past history of malignancy or other risk factors such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Melanoma and Merkel cell carcinoma have been reported in patients treated with TNF-blocker therapy, including REMICADE®. Periodic skin examination is recommended for all patients, particularly those with risk factors for skin cancer.
REMICADE® is contraindicated in patients with moderate to severe (NYHA Class III/IV) congestive heart failure (CHF) at doses greater than 5 mg/kg. Higher mortality rates at the 10 mg/kg dose and higher rates of cardiovascular events at the 5 mg/kg dose have been observed in these patients. REMICADE® should be used with caution and only after consideration of other treatment options. Patients should be monitored closely. Discontinue REMICADE® if new or worsening CHF symptoms appear. REMICADE® should not be (re)administered to patients who have experienced a severe hypersensitivity reaction or to patients with hypersensitivity to murine proteins or other components of the product.
TNF inhibitors, including REMICADE®, have been associated with reactivation of hepatitis B virus (HBV) in patients who are chronic carriers. Some cases were fatal. Patients should be tested for HBV infection before initiating REMICADE®. For patients who test positive, consult a physician with expertise in the treatment of hepatitis B. Exercise caution when prescribing REMICADE® for patients identified as carriers of HBV and monitor closely for active HBV infection during and following termination of therapy with REMICADE®. Discontinue REMICADE® in patients who develop HBV reactivation and initiate antiviral therapy with appropriate supportive treatment. Exercise caution when considering resumption of REMICADE® and monitor patients closely.
Severe hepatic reactions, including acute liver failure, jaundice, hepatitis, and cholestasis have been reported rarely in patients receiving REMICADE® postmarketing. Some cases were fatal or required liver transplant. Aminotransferase elevations were not noted prior to discovery of liver injury in many cases. Patients with symptoms or signs of liver dysfunction should be evaluated for evidence of liver injury. If jaundice and/or marked liver enzyme elevations (eg, ≥5 times the upper limit of normal) develop, REMICADE® should be discontinued, and a thorough investigation of the abnormality should be undertaken.
Cases of leukopenia, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, and pancytopenia (some fatal) have been reported. The causal relationship to REMICADE® therapy remains unclear. Exercise caution in patients who have ongoing or a history of significant hematologic abnormalities. Advise patients to seek immediate medical attention if they develop signs and symptoms of blood dyscrasias or infection. Consider discontinuation of REMICADE® in patients who develop significant hematologic abnormalities.
REMICADE® has been associated with hypersensitivity reactions that differ in their time of onset. Acute urticaria, dyspnea, and hypotension have occurred in association with infusions of REMICADE®. Serious infusion reactions including anaphylaxis were infrequent. Medications for the treatment of hypersensitivity reactions should be available.
TNF inhibitors, including REMICADE®, have been associated in rare cases with CNS manifestation of systemic vasculitis, seizure, and new onset or exacerbation of CNS demyelinating disorders, including multiple sclerosis and optic neuritis, and peripheral demyelinating disorders, including Guillain-Barré syndrome. Exercise caution when considering REMICADE® in patients with these disorders and consider discontinuation if these disorders develop.
Treatment with REMICADE® may result in the formation of autoantibodies and, rarely, in development of a lupus-like syndrome. Discontinue treatment if symptoms of a lupus-like syndrome develop.
In clinical trials, the most common REMICADE® adverse reactions occurring in >10% of patients included infections (eg, upper respiratory, sinusitis, and pharyngitis),
infusion-related reactions, headache, and abdominal pain.
Concomitant use of REMICADE® with anakinra, abatacept, tocilizumab, or other biologics used to treat the same conditions as REMICADE® is not recommended because of the possibility of an increased risk of infection. Care should be taken when switching from one biologic to another, since overlapping biological activity may further increase the risk of infection.
Live vaccines or therapeutic infectious agents should not be given with REMICADE® due to the possibility of clinical infections, including disseminated infections.
Bring pediatric patients up to date with all vaccinations prior to initiating REMICADE®. Exercise caution in the administration of live vaccines to infants born to female patients treated with REMICADE® during pregnancy.

INAUGURAL FILM - 10. Little Europe Film Festival
Title: What doesn't kill you…./ Co tě nezabije...
Director: Miloslav Šmídmajer
Style: Documentary
Released: Czech Republic, 2009
Duration: 110 min.
Language: in Czech with English subtitles
The extraordinary life path and the worldwide praised work of the most famous and acclaimed Czech film director Miloš Forman has never ceased to inspire filmmakers and other film lovers. In the recently released documentary "What doesn't kill you….", the maverick Czech filmmaker Miloš Forman takes you on an intimate walk through his extraordinary life and legendary filmography that shot to fame in Hollywood and world cinemas, among the most known film hits to be mentioned are for example One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Amadeus or The People vs. Larry Flynt.
During his long professional career, Forman's life has taken some unexpected turns which have found their way into his own films and which are also reflected in the film "What doesn´t kill you". The presented documentary reveals in an enjoyable and interesting way where he grew up, went to school, worked, which parts of the past found their way into his films; the film also captures some less-known details of Forman's personal life, including interviews with his family, friends, Hollywood actors and other colleagues who have been part of his filmmaking career (F. Murray Abraham, Annette Bening, Woody Harrelson, Michael Douglas, Saul Zaentz, Jean-Claude Carrière, among others).
"All I need to be satisfied is that I have never needed to close my eyes in shame," Miloš Forman said about himself after the screening of the film.
Milos Forman, Biography
Perhaps the most famous and acclaimed filmmaker to hail from Czechoslovakia, Milos Forman first found success in his native country before doing likewise in Hollywood. Forman earned international acclaim with films like "Black Peter" (1964), "Loves of a Blonde" (1965) and "The Fireman's Ball" (1967), all of which marked a distinct thematic and stylistic break with the prior generation of Czechoslovakian filmmaking that played a major role in shaping that country's cinematic New Wave of the 1960s. After leaving Soviet-occupied Czechoslovakia following the Prague Spring in 1968, Forman embarked on a successful career in Hollywood that saw him make some of cinema's most acclaimed and decorated films of all time. In 1975, he directed the subversive, anti-establishment drama, "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest," which became only the second film ever to win Oscars in all five major categories. In the next decade, he directed the lush and vibrant "Amadeus" (1984), which many considered to be one of the best films of the 1980s. Though he tapered off a bit with "The People vs. Larry Flynt" (1996) and "Man on the Moon" (1999), Forman made the case for being one of the most accomplished foreign directors to have made considerable contributions to not only American cinema.

Illustration by H. Douglas Pratt
The widespread thrasher of eastern North America, the brown thrasher is generally a secretive bird of dense thickets and hedgerows. Often seen feeding on the ground, probing for insects with its long slender bill, the brown thrasher frequently sings from open exposed perches at the top of trees. Polytypic. Length 11.5" (29 cm).
Identification Sexes similar. Similar in size to American robin, but more slender, much longer tailed. Upperparts entirely bright rufous; underparts white to buffy-white, especially on flanks, with extensive black streaking. Wing coverts with black subterminal bar and white tips, forming 2 wing bars. Bill long and slender; little decurviture. Yellow eye.
Geographic Variation Western populations larger, paler, with less extensive streaking.
Similar Species Most similar to the long-billed thrasher of southern Texas, which is more grayish above and has a longer, more decurved bill; redder eye; and much shorter primary projection. Superficially similar in coloration to the wood thrush, but note very different size and shape, particularly the brown's very long tail and its long and slender bill. Also, the wood thrush has more spotting on the underparts, compared to the brown thrasher's streaking.
Voice Call: most common calls include and a low churr and a loud, smacking spuck, somewhat resembling the call note of a "red" fox sparrow. Song: a long series of varied melodic phrases, each phrase often repeated 2 or 3 times. Rarely mimics other bird species.
Status and Distribution Breeding: uncommon to dense thickets throughout the eastern United States. Migration: birds from the northern portion of the breeding population migrate south in the fall, augmenting resident populations in the South. Winter: regularly winters across the southern United States, extending into south-central Texas. Vagrant: occasionally wanders west to Arizona and California. Casual to Alaska, British Columbia, Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Newfoundland. Casual in winter in northern Mexico.
Population Declines have been noted in the Northeast, probably as a result of habitat loss.

Sprouts, Saplings & Pinetrees (K to 5th Grades)
Sprouts, Saplings & Pinetrees are what we call our three groups for elementary age Friends in the Junior Gathering Program. Click the links in the menu below to learn about these groups.
Daily Routine
What to Bring (list provided in June)
Typical Day
Open House
Sprouts, Saplings & Pinetrees spend their mornings and evenings with approximately 15 of their peers, grouped primarily by age. They are lovingly cared for and under the supervision and direction of a handful of adults -- one primary coordinator with 3 to 4 well qualified staff, among which may be a High School Young Friend who is taking the Ministry With Children workshop.
Activities are planned individually by the coordinators and run the gamut from fabric arts to woodworking to instrument making to painting to just about anything you can imagine. They will be singing and dancing and playing outdoors. Generally some of the activities are tied to the Gathering theme and are designed to introduce the children to Quaker Testimonies and values.
The children will be provided a nutritious snack, in the mornings, typically fresh locally grown fruit (when possible), fruit juice, cheese and crackers.
Children in these age groups must be signed in and out of group time each day by a responsible adult. You can rest easy knowing that your child's needs for fresh air, nutritious food and exercise are being met.
Before Gathering
Help us prepare to give your child the best possible week by sharing with us:
- dietary needs
- joys
- struggles
- achievements
- challenges and/or
- recent significant changes in your child's life.
Indicate these on your Parental Release form or by email to email@example.com. You can rest assured that your child is being cared for lovingly as you attend your morning workshop or evening plenary.
Carefully read your confirmation email and the mailing from Junior Gathering in early June. (JG Times & a letter from your child's group leader).
Check out the Junior Gathering FAQs on our website.
Connect with other parents who have attended Gathering before.
What to Bring (list provided in June)
Please clearly label anything you wish to take home at the end of the week
A typical family day:
- Our Family Place: 1:30 - 4:30
- MultiGen activities
- Field Trips
- Make your own plans
5:00-6:30 PM Dinner
Open House: Sunday evening after dinner or all children up to those who have finished 5th grade ( Acorns, Pinecones, Sprouts, Saplings & Pinetrees). This is a time for you and your child to come and get acquainted with the caregivers / staff and the other children. Coordinators will discuss their plans and expectations for the week. Parents and/or Responsible Parties will be asked to list those adults who have permission to sign out their child. If permission has not been granted, your child will not be released. If you forget to share special needs with us ahead of time, Open House is a good time to share dietary or other needs with the Group Coordinator.
Help us prepare to give your child the best possible week by sharing with us dietary needs, joys, struggles, achievements, challenges and/or recent significant changes in your child's life. You can indicate these on your Parental Release form or by email to email@example.com

The VLD design incorporates a sharp nose that allows the bullet to penetrate up to 3 inches before it starts to expand. This delayed expansion results in a wound channel that is deep inside the vital area of any big game. After the bullet starts to expand it will shed 80% to 90% of its weight into the surrounding tissue traveling as deep as 18 inches. This results in a massive wound cavity that creates the greatest possible amount of tissue damage and hemorrhaging within the vital area (organs). This massive and extensive wound cavity result in the animal dropping fast. This is not loaded ammunition.

In an accident? You need to know this.
Equipment and On Road Behaviour, Laws and Rules. Cycling Promotion and Advocacy
Re: In an accident? You need to know this.
I plan to contact the police this week and find out what is happening with regard to driver infringements. I've waited to see if they would contact me. nothing so far, I hope that is not an indication of what they are doing about the driver.
as regards injuries, saw the doc last week and she wanted to keep me on workers comp for one more month. I'm not receiving any comp benefits as I am back to 100% contact hours, she just wants the claim to remain open until she is sure that I can return to almost normal duties without being in pain. when she declares that my condition is stable the fun starts. I have what may be permanent sensory deprivation in one foot so this will get the lawyers going about permanent impairments etc. going to be an interesting year.
I could agree with you, but then we would both be wrong.
Re: In an accident? You need to know this.
An add to this. I see Bicycle Network has now published online a guide to what to do in case of an accident.
Re: In an accident? You need to know this.
There seems to be a real lack of interest from the police in addressing these incidents. In the many examples I have heard both from friends and on these boards they don't want to know and advise the victim to treat it as a civil matter, even when someone is injured. This might be acceptable when the accident involves two vehicles and the likelihood of serious injury is low but when the accident involves a vulnerable road user (car v. bike, truck v. car, etc) then they should be treating it as a major accident. At a minimum there should be a requirement that they attend and follow up when an ambulance is called.
The problem is clear, but what can we do about it?
In an accident? You need to know this.
Wow! Just read the entire thread and am amazed! Thank you Oxford for sharing your experiences and I hope your recovery is coming along well!
I agree with the last comment - the police response is inadequate for the injuries suffered and gives little faith in being treated fairly.
As I have posted on the helmet cam thread, I am very seriously considering getting one as a result of my reading in the last few hours!
Re: In an accident? You need to know this.
Found out today, the driver was issued with a TIN, the police were not clear for what, but she was issued a ticket.
The insurance company has also accepted 50% level of liability, lawyer says not to worry, its just the first step in the argy bargy process. Just about to email lawyer to let him know driver was issued with a TIN in case that helps the situation.
I will not see a resolution to this matter for at least 6 months as I have to wait for injuries to stabilise. Should they not improve, then its more doctors to assess permanent injury status that then determine compensation levels.
On the injury side of things, I finally had to succumb to pharmaceutical assistance this week. My doctor advised me it would be wise to at least take a course of anti-inflammatories for a week to help ease my discomfort. Have to say I do feel better for it, but will not be making a habit of it if I can.
I could agree with you, but then we would both be wrong.
Re: In an accident? You need to know this.
Good to hear. One small step on the way to sorting it all out. Glad to hear you are recovering as well even if slowly.
Re: In an accident? You need to know this.
so what 50% of responsibility is yours? that you were riding your vehicle on the road where it is legally entitled to be....? ffs....
Re: In an accident? You need to know this.
so what position do you stabilise yourself in, if after accident, you can still move or get up, but have taken some sort of hit to neck or back area, and fear 'hearing more about it"
I rode into a small factory-shop strip carpark a couple of years back, along Cheltenham Rd Keysborough/Dandenong , between Bridge and Cambria rd and Sinclair rd area any locals will know those shop factories. I was riding quite slowly, mercifully , as I was actually window shopping sporting wear stores while still moving, it was 5-6pm Autumn or winter months, so getting dark but not pitch black yet..first thing I knew of a problem was bike suddenly standing vertically on its front wheel , me then Rugby spear -tackled head-first vertically into carpark concrete...Id ridden into one of the carpark storm drain grate covers, which was wide enough spaced bars to accept a bike wheel easily, and also with no crossbars and bars facing the ideal way that bikes or any vehicles approach...
as I hit I remember an electric jolt going down my neck and spine, and thought split second, "oh, yeah, that feels good, this is going to be great"
But I picked myself up, shaken, but standing...bike was still imbedded vertically front wheel down in the grating, with the wheel rim bent about 45 deg where it had sagged from the strain of supporting my body weight mid-air momentarily until I bulleted forward and head in..
Im standing dazed still, and some woman speeding across carpark in her car blasts me with her horn that Im an obstruction in her path....
I made my way home, shaklen bruised and not pleased, but seemed to have withstood this hit..
a few night later, Im punching a punching bag at health club, throw one right...
back goes TWANG...severe back and neck pain..."theres my bike spear-tackle craash from a few night ago".I thinks...
I was in pain for a few weeks, not enough to stop me walking, but I had to stop all violent vigorous exercise such as the punching bag..
But I did email Slater and Gordon for some idea what the legal liabilities of owners of that carpark were, in case things got worse ...even with a view to maybe, hey, what about my damaged bike?One front wheel that looks how my neck feels...
they seemed very wishy-washy about it..maybe because I wasnt yet presenting myself with a neck brace and the whole Nine Yards..
If I was buggered up...would they have had to foot the bill?
Re: In an accident? You need to know this.
Good post,thanks for sharing.
Re: In an accident? You need to know this.
Cheers, quite timely as I have an update.
I have basically come off Workcover a few weeks ago and have been assessed by their doctors. Following the assessment, Workcover made a compensation offer. Now normally if only Workcover was involved, if you did not like the offer and thought you could get more, you take it to a common law claim and hope for a better outcome, though you could come out worse. This costs as you need to see doctors and get reports at your expense. Reports start at about $1,000. Please note this process is for Qld, YMMV in other states.
In my case and on the advice of my lawyer, I accepted the offer. The reason being as it is the CTP insurer that is the main focus of the claims process. The CTP insurer will incorporate the compensation amount in their offer and repay Workcover anyway, so no point dragging that process out.
So from here I see doctors appointed by my lawyers to get medical reports, may even need to see doctors appointed by the CTP insurer. That's not for another 2 months, it has to be at least 12 months from the date of the accident according to my lawyer.
Its a long drawn out process, I have nearly 500 individual files being scanned copies of correspondence, receipts, emails, voice mail and video. I am very thorough and my lawyer appreciates the detailed approach I am taking, it makes their job that much easier.
Probably will not update for a while unless anyone posts a query.
I could agree with you, but then we would both be wrong.
Re: In an accident? You need to know this.
I have just read this topic as I have recently been involved in an accident. Fortunately my personal injuries were relatively minor in comparison to yours but my bike was unrideable afterwards with a cracked frame, and completely buckled wheels. The driver of the car that hit me was at fault having turned right into me at a set of lights when I had right of way. The fact that it was at low speed as the lights had just turned green probably saved me from much more serious injury.
Despite this I have been beating my head against a wall with GIO to get them to replace my bike. Every step of the way has been like pulling teeth. They asked me to get 1 quote which I did. They never contacted me so i rang them to find out what was happening. They then said I needed a 2nd quote which annoyed me as I had to waste another week running around town. Then they said an assessor needed to see the bike??? Why I don't know after they had the 2 quotes. Then they said they weren't going to repair the bike and so were going to pay me out the value of the bike. Given that I had already provided them with 2 quotes showing the cost to replace or repair my bike I am currently arguing with them what my bike is worth. Why did I even waste my time getting the quotes if they are not going to use them to evaluate the cost of the bike?
Personally I will never buy any GIO insurance products after this experience (and i urge others to follow suit) but I'm not certain other company are any better. I am at the stage of getting legal advice to resolve this frustrating issue.
Re: In an accident? You need to know this.
I too am never insuring with GIO. After having a crash in my teens that wasn't my fault I had to claim on the other party's GIO insurance (as I didn't have comprehensive) and it took 9 months and a phone call EVERY day after the first three months to get the money out of them. All that time I was car-less as I couldn't afford to replace while waiting for their money to come through.
Re: In an accident? You need to know this.
Insurance companies don't get rich by paying out claims so they do all they can to stall.
Have you tried their complaints line? I found them helpful and resolved my claim within a few days (house, not bike related).
After that you have the ombudsman.
The above are cheaper than lawyering up.
Helmets! Bells! Rego!
Re: In an accident? You need to know this.
+1. I have heard that when you say the word "ombudsman" to insurance companies, suddenly they become a bit more productive to deal with.
Re: In an accident? You need to know this.
Is it possible to say "Yeah, well, whilst I"m without my bike I'll take a taxi at your expense"

Re: In an accident? You need to know this.
Do you have to deal with the insurance company? they aren't the ones that knocked you off your bike...
Re: In an accident? You need to know this.
Glad to hear you aren't too sore and did not suffer much damage. A broken bike can be replaced.
I was knocked off my bike in December by a driver when I had right of way. No breaks, taken to hospital for observation and just a few bruises, sprains and cuts. Bike was totally broken.
The insurance company of the guy who hit me finally accepted liability but it took quite a few calls and letters and following procedures. Having xmas and New Year in the middle of this certainly extended the time frame to get this to completion.
But my insurance company was not involved. Is GIO your insurance company or the guy who hit you?
Make sure the person liable, though their insurance, provides you with a replacement bike!
My collision occurred in Perth so may not totally be replicated to any area, but if you want some info let me know.

Re: In an accident? You need to know this.
Long time between posts, but a recent PM has prompted me to give an update on my accident situation.
Late last year I had examinations by doctors from my legal team and the insurers. This is to assess the level or percentage of injury based on predetermined scales. Using these scales and other factors they then determine what they feel is an appropriate offer. Assuming all went well both parties would go into negotiations, agree on a number and settle. From the settlement, WorkCover would be reimbursed first, followed by other insurers if involved, then the legals calculated, capped and I receive the balance. The first offer was a bit of a joke as the insurer tried to assign blame on a 50% basis, the net figure being an insult.
Then things did not go well. On 6 January I had a very serious motor vehicle accident caused by an as yet undiagnosed medical condition. Whilst riding my motorbike, I blacked out and hit a 4wd head on. As you would understand, that resulted in some fairly serious injuries which has slowed down the claim process. Apparently the insurance company can use this accident to reduce their payment saying my economic loss is now less due to my diminished capacity from the accident. As I said to my lawyer, they couldn't claw back funds if they had paid out the day before the accident, so why should this change the negotiations. Apparently it does though. So now I have to get back to full time work to finalise the negotiations.
Anyone interested in the motorbike accident, I kept a journal in the form of a Google document once I left the Intensive Care Unit and had access to a computer and the internet:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PjG ... vk3qj1qv0z
I could agree with you, but then we would both be wrong.
Re: In an accident? You need to know this.
Wow - seriously bad news mate.
Is there any suggestion the undiagnosed issue is related to or caused by the first incident?
Either way, I really hope things turn for you soon.
Re: In an accident? You need to know this.
That's terrible news Oxford. I'd been thinking of you recently, wondering how it had all ended up.
Hopefully you can get back to work so you don't get shafted by the process.
Re: In an accident? You need to know this.
That's what I thought too.
I dislike insurance companies and their insistence on trying to get out of paying needed money using any loop hole they possibly can.
I read your blog the whole way through just then, Oxford/ThatOtherGuy/Sean. Thank you for sharing it with us and I hope your injuries heal up and don't give you pain for the rest of your life. I love your attempt at breaking land speed records with the mobility scooter. Have you gone higher than the 11kph mentioned or are your mobility scooter racing days over?
Re: In an accident? You need to know this.
Terrible news Oxford.
As the others have said, really hope things work for you.
Re: In an accident? You need to know this.
Hi Oxford, thanks for taking the time to let us know how you are. After reading your journal, I am just glad you are still with us.
I have always enjoyed reading your accounts & am in awe of your openness in expressing the difficulties in keeping the black dog at bay. The fact that you can talk about it gives me hope both as to how far we have come in addressing depression & on a personal level it gives me great hope that you will be able to continue to keep the dog chained up.
Re: In an accident? You need to know this.
No sense in you buying any raffle tickets for a while Ox. Heal quick and do your best to shoot the dog.
...whatever the road rules, self-preservation is the absolute priority for a cyclist when mixing it with motorised traffic.
London Boy 29/12/2011
Re: In an accident? You need to know this.
Thanks guys. To answer a few questions.
If there is a link between the first accident and the cause of the accident, the link is to tenuous to be considered. I had already raised this with my lawyers and for every doctor I would provide saying there is a link, the insurer will provide one saying no link. The accident is actually the second accident on the motorbike, I had a similar accident one month prior under similar circumstances where luckily I was not hurt, but unfortunately I did injure a cyclist and I felt very bad about that as cycling and cyclists are very dear to me as everyone would understand.
Land speed records on the mobility scooter are rare now, but I have spotted a local pathway where I reckon I could break the 12km/h barrier.
The black dog is ever present and the battle is very hard, but I just try to keep occupied. Sometimes it may just be going out, the best therapy I have found is to keep busy with things, whether its therapy, chores, helping others and generally just keeping busy. Most of all I am trying to maintain a normal routine as if I am working so that if/when I return to work it will not be a rude awakening.
The worst part of all of this is the timetable of drugs. Being stuck to a specific schedule and the volume of them, about 20 pills a day, 10 in the morning and then 5 twice a day. I hate taking pills at the best of times.
I could agree with you, but then we would both be wrong.

Top Ten Republican Myths on Benghazi that Justify Hillary Clinton's Anger
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
1. Republican senators keep saying that it should have been "easy" to find out what happened on September 11, 2012, by simply debriefing US personnel who had been there. John McCain, Ron Johnson and the others who make this charge are the most cynical and manipulative people in the world. The Benghazi US mission was very clearly an operation of the Central Intelligence Agency, and that is the reason that the Obama administration officials have never been able to speak frankly and publicly about it. McCain and the others know this very well, and they know that their public carping cannot be "simply" answered because the answers would endanger sources and methods. The consulate was amazingly well-guarded by some 40 CIA operatives, many of them ex-special forces, in a nearby safe house. These were viewed by consular officials as "the cavalry." It is still not clear what Ambassador Chris Stevens and the CIA were doing in Benghazi, and unless we know that we can't know why they were attacked. (They were not overseeing the shipping of weapons to Syria; the Syrian revolutionaries complain bitterly that the US *prevents* them from getting medium and heavy weapons).
2. Republicans keep posturing that their questions about Benghazi are intended to bolster US security. In fact, they are harming it. Republican hearings in the House of Representative have disgracefully revealed the names of Libyans talking to the US consulate, thus endangering their lives and harming US efforts to understand the situation in the country, since who would risk talking to the embassy if they know about Darrell Issa's big mouth?
3. The GOP figures keep saying that it was obvious that there was no demonstration at the Benghazi consulate against the so-called "film," the 'Innocence of Muslims' that attacked the Prophet Muhammad. But in fact Libyan security officials repeatedly told wire services on September 12 that there was such a demonstration, and that the attack issued from those quarters. An American resident in Benghazi at that time confirms that there were such demonstrations that day. The secular-minded revolutionary militia that guarded the US consulate for the Libyan government kept the demonstrations far enough away from the consulate gates that they would not have shown up in security videos.
4. Benghazi, a city of over a million, is not dominated by "al-Qaeda," contrary to what Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina has repeatedly said or implied. The city had successful municipal elections in May, just before I got there. The number one vote-getter was a woman professor of statistics at the university. While political Islam is a force in Benghazi, only some relatively small groups are militant, and it has to compete with nationalist, tribal and regional ideological currents. In Libya's parliamentary elections of July, 2012, the Muslim Brotherhood did very poorly and nationalists came to power. Women won 20% of the seats! The elected Speaker of Parliament, Muhammad Magarief, called for a secular constitution for Libya and a separation of religion and state.
5. Contrary to repeated assertions that it was obvious that terrorist groups were rampaging around in the city, members of the Benghazi municipal council told then US ambassador Chris Stevens that security in the city was improving in summer, 2012.
In fact, one Senator John McCain said during a visit to Libya last February, ""We are very happy to be back here in Libya and to note the enormous progress and changes made in the past few months… We know that many challenges lie ahead… but we are encouraged by what we have seen." Doesn't sound to me like McCain was running around like Chicken Little warning that the sky was about to fall on US diplomats there. Want to know who else came along on that trip? Lindsey Graham, who likewise didn't issue any dire warnings in its aftermath.

VW bringing Passat Alltrak to New York as a concept [w/poll]
by Chris Tutor (RSS feed) on Apr 2nd, 2012 at 9:29AM
Volkswagen is bringing its diesel-powered Passat Alltrack to the States after all. But don't get too excited – it's only coming in the form of a concept car at the New York Auto Show. At least, for now. We last saw the Alltrack at the Tokyo Motor Show in November where VW announced that it would offer the all-wheel-drive wagon in the UK with two versions of the 2.0-liter turbo-diesel inline-four. The engines are rated at 138 and 168 horsepower, the smaller of which is available with a manual transmission. Despite the fact that the Tokyo show car was a full-on production model, VW is...

Okay, so it's no longer fine to sport MC Hammer pants, decorate your window ledge with troll figurines or blast the Spice Girls' first album out of your car window without causing folk to LOL - but with today's deal, you can rock a little something that's as acceptable now as it was in the 90s...
We're offering you a 4GB mixtape memory card USB for just £10, saving you 44% off Midasity's price of £17.99 (correct as of 6.2.14).
This cool little gadget will take you back to a time when David Beckham was nothing but a greasy-locked lad with a keen left foot and Geri Halliwell was still bagging number one singles. However, while it may rock retro appeal, this super-slim 4GB memory card covers all your 2014 digital storage needs, allowing you to store thousands of photos, data and music files securely in your purse or wallet. It also comes in a choice of four brilliant colours: black (like the tapes you used to record the Top 40 onto); bright orange (like the hair of your one-time favourite troll doll); beige (the shade of your erstwhile favourite sweet treat, the Caramac), or red (just like the colour of 90210 star Jennie Garth's favourite shoulder-padded suit jacket). Why not snap up all four colours if you can't choose? Because, unlike in the '90s, these days you don't have to wait for your pocket money to treat yourself!

The dish on Long Island's restaurant and food scene
BloggersPeter Gianotti Erica Marcus Joan Reminick Marjorie Robins
Burger 9 Point 5 in Merrick reborn as Cafe Nee
One of the first "boutique" burger spots to hit Long Island, Burger 9 Point 5 in Merrick, closed for a three-week renovation and reopened under the same ownership as Cafe Nee.
The little storefront on Merrick Avenue underwent chef and menu changes since it first opened in 2008. Among the varieties of burgers that have come off its grill over the years: beef, lamb, bison, Kobe (sort of), turkey and vegetable burgers. All manner of toppings, too.
A new menu still spotlights burgers but also has panini and salads, among other items. More details coming soon.
Cafe Nee is at 139B Merrick Ave., Merrick, 516-543-4141.

'Jeffrey', our recreated medieval Archer
Lots more things installed now. It's seems tidier and it's possible to see much better how the exhibition is going to look. We have some of the audio visual aspects being tested and lights are sparkling in the empty cases. You can see the Bryn Celli Ddu stone already in place and covered in bubble wrap to protect it from all the work going on around it. Our recreated medieval Archer, who we affectionately call 'Jeffrey', was first created for our Re:Creations exhibition in 2002. The level of detail on his hands where he holds the string to his bow is amazing - it looks real. He is currently covered in bubble wrap to protect him from all the activity around him. He does look a bit like a mummy - but that's a whole different exhibition!
There are a lot more stones you can see in place covered to protect them and their plinths are nearly complete.
We're waiting for more mounts and the insides of cases to allow us to start installing our objects. As soon as they arrive the gallery will become a hive of activity with curators and conservators checking and installing large and small, delicate and robust, beautiful and functional objects that together will tell some of the story of the early people of Wales.

High traffic crashes elections site

A long — and, at times, frustrating — day at polling places throughout Chicago ended Tuesday with voters helping decide the presidential race, the future of Congress and scores of other issues.
Within the first two hours of voting, 300,000 to 400,000 Chicagoans cast ballots. Officials predicted a similar turnout to four years ago, when 73 percent of registered voters in the city went to the polls.
A massive interest in finding the right polling place crashed Chicago's election website. Unprecedented traffic from voters searching for new polling places and high interest in the presidential election were to blame.
"We are, of course, sorry, for the inability to access the website this morning," said Langdon Neal, chairman of the Chicago Board of Elections. "We were completely overwhelmed between 6 and 8 this morning."
The Chicago site redirected traffic to the State Board of Elections site for voters searching for their polling places.
Officials haven't ruled out a hacker attack, but they suspect the crash was more likely caused by a high volume of electronic traffic.
Telephone operators were added Tuesday morning to the election board's "control room," a phone bank where about 80 people answered incessantly ringing phones, which they said came from confused voters and election judges reporting problems with voting machines.
Because of once-in-a-decade redistricting, about 20 percent of registered voters were shifted into a different precinct than in the previous election. And 500 fewer polling places were open this election cycle because of budgeting issues.
"I think the redistricting had a huge effect, even though we [communicated] to every single voter … and we've been talking about it for 30 days," Neal said.
He acknowledged that the elections board didn't anticipate the volume of voters who would turn to the website to find their polling place.
"I think we have done as much outreach as we can do," he said. "Now that we see an increased use of technology by the voters [we're looking into] having a more massive and robust internet system that can handle the tremendous load that we had. We've never had it before."
Four of the city's 2,000 precincts didn't open on time this morning, Neal said, but said there were no reports of voters being turned away. "We don't want to lose one single vote," he said.
"We're doing our best to address a high-traffic situation which we've never encountered," said Jim Allen, a spokesman for the Chicago Board of Elections. "We're receiving an unusual number of calls on very specific topics: people being told they're not on the rolls when they are, and people being told they need ID in situations where they don't."
Frustrations abounded at polling places.
At least four election judges were removed, two suspected of being drunk, a third for sleeping, and a forth for "shouting at everyone," said Allen.
Some voters showed up at the wrong places to cast their vote, due to redistricting. Many said they received conflicting instructions from election judges and city officials.
Jarita Thompson showed up at her old polling place on North Avenue, but found out she was supposed to vote elsewhere because of redistricting.
"They just told me that I would have to do a provisional ballot," she said, "and they told me in order for my vote to be valid, I had to go downtown within three days to make sure my vote would count."
A number of people were doing provisional ballots "because their names were not on the polling place list," she said.
After nearly an hour of trying to sort it out, it was time for her to go to work, where "I made a lot of phone calls. I called the Board of Elections, and they said, 'go to the new polling place.' ''
She spent lunchtime heading to the Flannery Apartments in the 1500 block of North Clybourn. "It took my whole lunch hour," she said, but she finally cast her ballot.
"It was a very frustrating morning," she said.
Katie Heupel showed up to vote at the Sulzer Regional Library on North Lincoln Avenue, only to be told her records weren't there. She'd moved and changed her address. Even though she had a voter registration card showing she had informed the Board of Elections of her new address, and it showed the Sulzer library as her new place to cast a vote, election judges couldn't find her information.
They wanted her to do a provisional ballot, but said it might not be counted for seven to 10 days.
Worried her vote wouldn't get tallied, she decided to go to her old polling place, a firehouse on North Damen. Sure enough, her records — with her old address — were still there. She said she voted at the firehouse, using her driver's license with her old address.
A voter at the Belden School at 4257 N. Tripp said she saw a tired, frustrated woman enter the school and announce she wasn't going to leave until she got to cast her ballot. The woman had moved, and said she'd been sent to three different polling places to vote.
"'She said, 'I'm not going anywhere else — I'm staying here till I vote.' She was adamant," the witness said. "She kept saying, 'I just want to vote.' "
The Belden School election judges were doing everything they could to help her, the witness said.
Democratic Precinct Captain Ealy Gatson, 57, traveled to several South Side polling places Tuesday, and she said she's never seen such disorganization and lack of supplies.
"None of these places have provisional ballots, and the judges are new. They told me someone from Elections told them to write 'provisional' on a regular ballot sheet," she said. "Every one of these places [doesn't] have enough provisional ballots. Some of them don't have enough pens."
"Due to the remap, they have all of these new election judges that don't know their head from their toes, and it's going to cost Barack Obama," she said.
Things were no better in Avondale or Logan Square, said Larry Ligas, chairman of Logan Square Concerned Citizens. "I saw over 50 different precincts, and each one had the same problem — mass confusion. And then, when we're calling the Board of Elections, either the site was down, was sluggish, or they were not even answering the phones."
"We had voters come in with their cards stating they vote at a certain location. They triple-checked the books, and their names were not coming up. The redistricting was a total mess," Ligas said.
Juliette Loiret-Bernal experienced a different kind of frustration. She showed up to vote at Beth Emet, an Evanston synagogue, where she asked the judges if they had any information for her two adult children. Both are college students in Canada who had requested absentee ballots but had yet to receive them.
An election judge found her son's record, and told her: "'Oh, yes, he voted early."
When she told him that was impossible because he hadn't received a ballot, he showed her a document stamped "early voter," she said, and told her: "'I've been married 47 years. I don't make mistakes.'"
Another election judge later told her the man was misinformed, and her son had not voted.
Cook County Clerk David Orr, whose office oversees the election in suburban Cook County, said he expects voter turnout in Cook County to be less than the 73.5 percent of four years ago, but thinks it will still be high.
"It is unclear if the rain will make voter turnout dip below 70 percent," he said. "It's been a standard and normal election with very few problems."
Bob Saar, executive director of the DuPage County Election Commission, was expecting turnout to keep pace with levels seen in recent general elections.
"Looking at this election, and going back four and eight years ago, four years ago and eight years ago we had a 77 percent turnout, and I don't see any reason why we won't repeat that," Saar said shortly after noon Tuesday.
In Aurora, all polling places opened on time, according to Linda Fechner, executive director of the Aurora Election Commission.
"This being a very critical election, as every election is, we have a lot of poll watchers," she said. The main calls the commission has been fielding are from residents wondering where their precincts are.
"It's been a quick morning, but no major issues, I'm happy to report," Fechner said. Everything is moving quickly and smoothly."
Similarly, voting got off to a good start in Will County, said County Clerk Nancy Voots. Polling places opened on time, machines were operating properly.
Voots said she expects turnout to be heavy, but not as high as in 2008, thanks to the high number of people who chose to vote early.

Read Your Bozich, Weigh In On Towles
Here's a tip for those of you still pining for the columns of Rick Bozich:
My live-in secretary, much more adept with computers and the internet than I am, delivers Rick's columns to me at about 7 p.m.
If you have any trouble, touch base with WDRB-41.
Rick, as his Courier-Journal fans know, is at his best when he writes about basketball.
In fact, I am surprised that he hasn't joined the plea for an NBA team. Way to go, Rick, keep it up!
I am a big Bozich fan, but I must admit that I was disappointed by his column written immediately after Kentucky's 38-0 debacle at Florida. As all Wildcat fans were all too aware how ineffective Wildcat quarterbacks were, they still are youthful amateurs.
I have been wondering since the season started how long it would be before bad stuff hits the fan because of the (stupid?) treatment of freshman quarterback Patrick Towles, who may be the best QB prospect at UK since Tim Couch.
Kentucky's brilliant coaching staff, on a hot seat that gets hotter with each dumb decision, should have seen it coming. It is of their making.
I knew that it was just a matter of time, and I was prepared to ask: Should Towles stick it out the rest of the semester or wait until the end of the year before transferring?

Daniel Ricciardo insists there is no reason to panic at Red Bull despite the team amassing just 21 laps in the opening test at Jerez.
Pre-season testing kicked off at the Spanish circuit on Tuesday morning just minutes after Red Bull had taken the covers off their RB10. However, the day was anything but joyous.
Sebastian Vettel managed just three laps late in the day due to car troubles and that was the story for the entire four-days.
Red Bull's time in Spain eventually ended on Friday after Ricciardo put in seven laps before a mechanical problem ended his day and the team's test.
But despite the lack of running, the new Red Bull racer is confident his team will resolve their issues before the 2014 Championship gets underway in Australia in March.
"I guess time is on our side," he told crash.net. "We do have a few weeks which is good and we know what the team is capable of.
"I know how hard they work - I've seen that over the past few years - so that definitely gives me a lot of optimism about it all.
"The positives are that although we couldn't solve the issues here at the track, taking the car away from the track we know what needs to be solved. We just basically need more time to solve the issues that we had, but I think they're pretty clear in everyone's mind.
"It's just testing, we're not racing yet, we're not losing points or anything like that."
Pressed as to what exactly Red Bull's problems were, Ricciardo said: "Simply, a lot of things, but in to details I can't explain. All I can say is that the system is complex and complicated.
"Everything has to work, it all feeds of each other; if one thing doesn't work then three things don't work so we I guess we need a bit more time for now but I'm convinced by Bahrain we will have these problems solved."
