The Clash in Belfast
Caroline Coon, Sounds, 29 October 1977
AT FIRST the band were reluctant to have their photo taken anywhere near the soldiers. "They'll think we're here to entertain the troops," said Strummer. They all felt that they didn't know enough about the political situation. They learned fast.

Bahama Banks
The Bahamas is an archipelago of some 700 islands scattered over two limestone platforms, the Little Bahama and Great Bahama Banks, in the West Indies. The platforms have been accumulating for at least 70 million years—the Great Bahama Bank is over 15,000 ft (4,500 m) thick—yet their surfaces remain 33–80 ft (10–25 m) below sea level. Many of the islands have fringing coral reefs; there are also many patch reefs on the Banks and a barrier reef near the island of Andros. The reefs are home to a range of corals and coral reef-dwelling animals that is typical for the western tropical Atlantic. Although local declines in coral cover and occasional outbreaks of coral disease have been recorded, the reefs are generally healthy. There has been concern about overgrowth of algae, but for now the algae are being kept in check by a thriving population of parrotfish, which graze the reefs.
- Atlantic Ocean West
- Type Fringing reefs, patch reefs, barrier reef
- Area 1,200 square miles (3,150 square km)
- Condition Generally healthy
- Location Bahamas, southeast of Florida, US, and northeast of Cuba

yes, its most frustrating, although we have trained the reception staff now to tell lots of folk to bugger off
One supplier is always phoning up "to touch base". I don't like having my base touched, so I wish he'd stop trying.
Anyone else here with similar problems?
yes, its most frustrating, although we have trained the reception staff now to tell lots of folk to bugger off
I have a manager tries to do that.... my base is not for touching.
The ones which get my business are the ones which don't ring to "see if I need anything".
Yes, I quite often sit here with dead computers and monitors waiting for you to call so I can ask for parts or replacements.
Scream "Bad Touch!" into the phone and hang up?
....so long as you don't need to buy anything for a while.
Not a nice turn of phrase huh.
As for suppliers ringing up, there are some that we have built a relationship with and don't mind talking to. The others... not so much.
As @Roberto says - some supplies i don't mind it with - for example my stone account manager used to ring me in march to ask if i needed provisional quotes for any hardware for the summer refresh - he knew i only bought desktop machines once a year so rang in march to give me budgetry quotes and then we spoke once i had a budget. He also rang at christmas to say happy christmas!
The guys in the office are stars and tell them in the nicest way to sod off.
It gets to me if they are phoning day in, day out and I tell them to sod off in a very direct way!
One supplier even figured out I was split schooling from my email sig and when my main school told them I was offsite they rang my other school, for a sales call! That did not go down well.
I wish they'd learn the more you hassle, the less business you'll get. I HATE it when they ring up and say "So, you're budgets in now what projects can I help you with?" If I have a project running I will contact you at the appropiate time. Not vice versa.
But we have to send the faulty part back. We can't do that until we've recieved the new one, as the postage labels come with it.
echo Welcome to the HP 'Do-I-Call-Them-Or-Not' script.
echo Has a faulty part been returned?
if errorlevel 1 (
echo Don't phone them. Assume all is good unless they phone us!
) else (
echo Phone them to find out what's going on!
echo Do you require a decision for another client?
if errorlevel 1 (
goto :start
) else (
echo Thank you for using the HP 'Do-I-Call-Them-Or-Not' script.
Solved! xD
I guess I can't really gripe about it too much, it's only two minutes out of my day. It just seems a bit redundant. I guess the part that bothers me most is I can barely understand the person on the other end. Bad-ish connection + foreign call centre = Sorry, can you repeat that?

Yes, 'touching base' to see how we can work together 'going forward'. I personally love the ones who say they are 'catching up' when I know I have never spoken to them before, so what would we be 'catching up' on? And when they say 'We agreed I would call you back at this point' I enjoy telling them I would not have agreed to any such call.
I know they all have a job to do, but I hate the outright lies, and I can certainly live without the sales speak, thank you very much. Mind you, a very nice chap from Nigeria mailed me the other day with what looked like a decent offer, and all I had to do was provide my bank details...I don't want to rip the bloke off, what with him being a Prince, but some people are just asking for it.

Can pregnant women wear artificial nails or are the chemicals used in extension products and nail polish harmful to the fetus, and do glues, polishes, and creams seep through the nails and skin and enter the bloodstream?
The question of wearing artificial nails is a valid concern for women of child-bearing age. If a substance is harmful to humans, it is harmful to a fetus. Under normal circumstances, substances gain entrance to the human body through the lungs via inhalation, the stomach through eating and drinking, and the skin through absorption.
Absorption of chemicals through the nails constitutes a minimal potential risk to pregnant women. Fingernails and toenails make up only a small portion of the body's total absorptive surface area. Accordingly, the amount of material that can be absorbed through the nails is too small to be significant.
The nails absorb very little, a fact which limits fetal danger. Unlike the skin, lungs, and digestive system, nails are not designed to absorb foreign substances and can only do so if the nail is exposed to a substance for a long enough period to enable the material to penetrate it. Most substances that are applied to the nails either contain volatile chemicals that evaporate within a few minutes or are wiped off before absorption can begin. For example, polish remover, nail polish, and acrylics dry in a few minutes; once they're dry, they cannot be absorbed by the nail.
The nail bed cannot absorb much because it is covered by the nail plate. Also, blood vessels in the nail bed are not designed to absorb foreign substances, unlike blood vessels in the lungs and digestive system.
For these reasons, it is very unlikely that a pregnant woman's use of nail care products or artificial nails is harmful to her unborn child. It is impossible to say that nothing could happen, but in general, wearing artificial nails poses very little risk to pregnant women.
Skin creams and lotions, on the other hand, may pose a problem for pregnant women because they are absorbed through the skin. Any cream applied to the body or hands during pregnancy can be harmful to a fetus if the cream contains substances toxic to the fetus. However, most moisturizing lotions that you would use in the salon do not contain toxins and can be safely applied during pregnancy. Advise pregnant clients to consult their doctor if they have any concerns about nail or skin care products they use.--Paul Kechijian, M.D.

Childbirth and breast-feeding may affect your sexual desire. Exhaustion, breast soreness, your baby's demands, and recovery from childbirth may reduce your interest in intimacy with your partner. But you may feel more comfortable having sex after the baby is born. Each woman's experience is different.
You can help restore a sexual relationship with your partner by anticipating the physical effects of breast-feeding.
Some women notice that they become aroused during breast-feeding. Although this sensation is similar to a sexual response, it is not sexually driven. It is your body's way of preparing the breast for breast-feeding.
Talk with your partner about your feelings, concerns, and expectations. Also, rest whenever possible. Try to set up a time for the two of you to reconnect emotionally and physically.

On the road Snacks
Previous Forum topic
Just wondering what peoples favourite cycling snack is. I am needing a back pocket energy boost +50km. Chocolate is delicious but melty, though the winter might help with that. I quite like Kelloggs Elevenses but there is not quite enough substance in them.
Any good suggestions/favourites? But not £1.50 for a squidge of chemicals please.
you can always make your own flapjacks very easy to do. or get some maltloaf(soreen) or fig bicc's.

As mpt68 says, make your own, thats the best bet.
Apart from that, I would say to give any one of these three a try. Clif Bar, Powerbar Natural or Mulebar Natural

I personally use energy gels whilst on the move with the occassional savoury snack at a tea stop. But please if you use energy gels take the wrappers home/dispose of them properly. The way I do it is to fill a "topping" dispenser up at home (see photo) then stick it in the back pocket no mess no fuss approx 4 gels per bottle. There was a sportive/charity ride round my way a few months back you could follow the route not by the signage but by all the wrappers in the hedgerows!

Another thought, if you want savoury rather than cake try tray baking some sausages then when cool, wrap them in clingfilm & stick'em in pocket/saddle bag

Flapjack, banana, cereal bar, snickers, jaffa cakes, apples etc.
Energy gels are useful if you're riding hard for a long time, but they're not always pleasant.

Malt loaf is one of my favorites. Nice and easy to store but packs a big hit IMHO. Bananas are good too.
I often take a Natures Valley cereal bar out with me too but that could be due to getting about 20 free from a rep

Mmm, malt loaf. Not tried it on the bike, I just love the stuff!
I use a lezyne snack pouch just aft of the stem, no melty chocolate!
There was a recipe on here I think some time ago for chocolate tiffin, that would be well worth trying.
Last night I would have considered trading a very loud baby for a really nice bike.

if u dont want to pay a small fortune for a snack, try aldi have blackfriars flapjacks at till only 49p each in a choice of flavours, my personal fav cherry bakewell.

You can't beat a banana (but be cateful where you toss the skin). Flapjack is great though I'm a bit picky and prefer homemade to most factory ones. In cooler weather a Snickers in your seat pack is tough to beat, especially when the 4-pack is £1.
Cereal, muesli and fruit bars (Eat Natural are nice) but don't take anything less than 40-50g or you'll need two at a time.
One idea I'm keen to try is a croissant with chocolate spread or jam, yummmm! My kids love the chocoate twists that the Co-Op cook in the mornings from part-baked dough, that might be a good alternative. These fat-laden, pastry based foods are fine provided you're not riding hard, as during more intense workouts the blood is diverted from the stomach.

2 thick slices of malt-loaf, spread one thickly with Peanut Butter and the other with any jam (but my home made Damson is best !) - cram together, wrap and enjoy on the road (I think the Yanks call it Peanut Butter Gello).
Does the trick for me !

If you're eat while riding then chewy is not good, especially if you ride hard - makes breathing difficult. For that reason, my favourite is banana & honey sandwich (with butter), cut in quarters and individually wrapped in a bit of foil. Yum yum!

My new thing is 'Millionaire Shortbread Bites.' I put about 5 in a sandwich bag and eat them every so often, you can get mini flapjacks and stuff as well.
For banana, cut one in half and slit the skin at the top, that way you can jar squeeze the fruit out without properly peeling it.
9 bars as well have done me well over a year or so, two of them per ride.
Nakd bars are OK.
Personally, I think that real food is much better during a ride, gels and stuff are so hyped. The pros eat rice cakes and muffins; not orange flavoured salty syrup.

What type of treatment is available for dyslexia?
Before any treatment is started, an evaluation must be done to determine the child's specific area of disability. While there are many theories about successful treatment for dyslexia, there is no actual cure for it. The school will develop a plan with the parent to meet the child's needs. If the child's current school is unprepared to address this condition, the child will need to be transferred to a school, if available in the area, which can appropriately educate the dyslexic child. The plan maybe implemented in a Special Education setting or in the regularclassroom. An appropriate treatment plan will focus on strengtheninthe child's weaknesses while utilizing the strengths. A direct approach may include a systematic study of phonics. Techniquesdesigned to help all the senses work together efficiently canalso be used. Specific reading approaches that require a childto hear, see, say, and do something (multisensory), such as the Slingerland Method, the Orton-Gillingham Method, or Project READcan be used. Computers are powerful tools for these children andshould be utilized as much as possible. The child should be taughtcompensation and coping skills. Attention should be given to optimumlearning conditions and alternative avenues for student performance.
In addition to what the school has to offer, there are alternative treatment options available outside the school setting. Although alternative treatments are commonly recommended, there is limited research supporting the effectiveness of these treatments. In addition, many of these treatments are very costly, and it may be easy for frustrated parents to be misled by something that is expensive and sounds attractive.
Perhaps the most important aspect of any treatment plan is attitude. The child will be influenced by the attitudes of the adults around him. Dyslexia should not become an excuse for a child to avoid written work. Because the academic demands on a child with dyslexia may be great and the child may tire easily, work increments should be broken down into appropriate chunks. Frequent breaks should be built into class and homework time. Reinforcement should be given for efforts as well as achievements.Alternatives to traditional written assignments should be exploredand utilized. Teachers are learning to deliver information tostudents in a variety of ways that are not only more interestingbut helpful to students who may learn best by different techniques.Interactive technology is providing interesting ways for studentsto feedback on what they have learned, in contrast to traditionalpaper-pencil tasks.

STEM Education Age 3 to Grade 12: How Parents and Teachers May Influence a Child's Future
Interest in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) can be fostered with the right selection of age-appropriate toys and robotic kits for the classroom.

STEM Education—that is, educating for the fields of science, technology, engineering and math—is a challenge faced by the United States. Funding in U.S. schools tends to lean toward athletics and away from math and science. It's quite ironic that so much funding is utilized for fields in which there are so few jobs. The opposite should be the reality.
Parents, many of whom are conditioned by the culture, contribute to the problem by pushing kids into sports at very young ages. Imagine if these same parents spent a portion of their activities budget on materials or classes aimed at STEM learning.
One way for parents to help children become interested in a STEM field is to start cultivating a child's interest as early as possible. This can happen with careful selection of a child's toys. Duplos instead of dolls and Legos instead of action figures are a great place to start.
The next step is to guide the child toward an interest in robotics. Robotics is a cornerstone for STEM education because building a robot requires use of all four STEM fields.
This can start as young as age 3 with the
Hexbug Nano
, an amazing little robot bug that roams randomly and teaches children that random motion is effective for completely navigating closed spaces. Parents may provide additional, more complex, robots for play as the child grows. Kindergarten teachers may have a science lesson showing how Hexbug Nano navigates its habitat and may ask intriguing questions such as: "How does it move? How does it know where to go?" Teachers will chuckle when they hear the little ones' explanations.
Age 9 to 13 is the typical age when a child grows out of playing with toys and may begin to have an interest in a toy's inner workings. Parents and educators may purchase myriad kits that help children learn every aspect of robotics, starting with
Snap Circuits
on up to OWI robot kits.
Snap Circuits is an ingeniously simple way to introduce children to the wonders of electricity. Snap Circuit kits allow children to snap together many different projects so they may see how electronic components and motors fit together to perform a variety of tasks.
OWI kits
snap together or can be assembled with simple tools. These kits range from very simple to quite complex—some even require soldering. Most kits have a power source (battery or solar), one or more motors, and generally perform only one or just a few functions. Several kits may be programmed with simple software. One kit teaches binary numbers.
Children who have been exposed to robots at young ages are much more likely to be interested in building a much more ambitious robot in Junior High and High School.
Vex Robotics
kits specifically target Junior High and High School students. There are classroom bundles for teaching robotics in school and competition bundles for participating in robot competitions.
Paradise Robotics
is an online and Chicago, Ill.-area retailer dedicated to promoting fun and educational robotics to parents and teachers around the world. Paradise Robotics' goal is to demystify robots and to make product selection easy for busy parents and teachers.

AP Sports Writer
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) - The New England Patriots released receiver Chad Ochocinco on Thursday, cutting loose the six-time Pro Bowl selection after one season in which he was more active on Twitter than on the field.
"Thoroughly enjoyed the oppurtunity to play for the `Patriot' organization... fans were ... wicked awesome, I wish all of you the best," he tweeted at about the same time the team was announcing he had been released.
"I'm healthy n living life, I'll be fine," he wrote on Twitter, where he had changed his job description to "UNEMPLOYED BLACK GUY" and posed a photo of himself sitting on a suitcase at the airport, hitchhiking.
Ochocinco, 34, played in 15 games in his only season with the Patriots, starting three and catching 15 passes for 276 yards. He caught one pass in the Super Bowl as New England lost 21-17 to the New York Giants.
His agent, Drew Rosenhaus, said he is "in the process of gauging interest from potential teams."
During the playoffs, Patriots coach Bill Belichick described Ochocinco as a hard worker who "made a very good effort to do everything we've asked him to do on and off the field."
Ochocinco said the shift from star receiver to barely contributing role player was a struggle. But it paid off with his first trip to the Super Bowl - as a player, not as a gadfly asking questions on media day to those actually participating in the game.
"I'm happy, but the competitive side of me is (angry). Does that make sense?" he said before the team left for Indianapolis. "I handled myself with the utmost professionalism. I busted my (butt), didn't pout. That's what I do: 'Give me the rock!' But I didn't do what people thought I would do. Even I thought I was going to do it."

Mayor Bloomberg didn't want to come back from Bermuda. And then he didn't want to own his decision. Bloomberg flew back late, and after visiting patients in a hospital said, "What can I do? I'm not a professional firefighter or a police officer. There's nothing I can do." So then why did you go to the hospital? Are you a doctor?
National Transportation Safety Board investigators are analyzing two data recorders retrieved from the wreckage of the Metro-North train derailment in the Bronx. Two cranes at the scene righted all of the damaged cars earlier today. Four passengers were killed and more than 60 people were injured when the train went off the rails on the Hudson Line.
Governor Cuomo said today possible factors range from excessive speed, to equipment or operator failure, to a track problem. The NTSB is expected to spend up to 10 days at the scene on the Bronx-Manhattan border. Thousands of commuters used shuttle buses and the subway to get to work this morning. Sunday's derailment is the third of a Metro-North train this year.
Meanwhile, Mayor Bloomberg is facing criticism for not going to the scene yesterday. City Hall is refusing to say why, but the Wall Street Journal is reporting Bloomberg was "playing golf Sunday at Bermuda's majestic Mid Ocean golf club" for hours after the derailment. The Mayor did visit a hospital last night and said, "What can I do? I'm not a professional firefighter or a police officer. There's nothing I can do." What do you say?
What's your reaction to yesterday's derailment? What questions do you want answered during this investigation? Was your commute affected today? Should Mayor Bloomberg have responded to the scene yesterday?
Send your thoughts using the link above.
There is too much SPEED everywhere! From SUVs that lose control and kill bystanders on sidewalks, to city employees being killed by out-of-control trucks, bike riders who don't follow the rules of the road, cab drivers who think they're beyond the law, and now this. Every time you see a news story, it seems to be always about SPEED. What is the rush? Too many people are killed or permanently maimed over the need for someone to get to a certain place two minutes faster than they would get there if they kept to the speed limit or FOLLOWED THE LAW!
As far as the "mayor" goes, he's already a lame duck and since it didn't happen in his Manhattan, then it doesn't matter to him. Go back to Bermuda, Mr. B!
~ Dina and Ed - Throggs Neck
Now that Bloomberg is leaving his true colors show. Good riddens....

Bloomberg is right, he's not a professional at anything, including being Mayor. He appears at almost every event affecting public safety. Why not this one? And where was de Blasio?
JoePort Richmond, SI
Mayor Bloomberg is already starting to fade into history, and he's probably begun laughing at the public that expects him to continue acting the role of mayor all day long on each of his final 31 days on the job -- he never liked most aspects of the public side of the job, anyway.
As to Metro-North, I've always thought it a slipshod operation when compared to the Long Island Railroad, which has done a much better job of track upgrade and maintenance over the years. I do believe, also, that something suggested by one of the people investigating this accident should be looked at more closely -- the track layout and geometry of that entire stretch of the line; it dates back a century, and perhaps it is time for some modification, a matter that the New York City subways may also want to start thinking about as the trains themselves evolve and traffic only ever increases.

82 m.p.h. in a 30 m.p.h. zone would be a possible ingredient towards the accident. Train dispatch should have seen the rise in speed on their computer boards and should have reached out to the train crew. Posted speed limits should have devices such as brake t- pet cocks that stay in a vertical position until the train adheres to the speed limit, if the speed limit is not followed the train strikes the t- pet cock and applies the train into full emergency brake.
Hi John
First i would like to say to the families that lost love ones god bless u may your loved ones RIP. Mayor Bloomberg should of rushed back to the crime scene to look over the work that the first responders were doing, he's still the mayor, this was worse than the blizzard that crippled the city. I know the motormen and women that drive the city do know they cant go over the speed limit when on a curve either the motorman was on the phone or he was on drugs, this reminds me of the crash in Spain. The motorman should be charged with murder for killing those people, you cant do 82 in a 30 mph zone especially around a curve.
HermanUpper West side
I really think you should cover this story on The Call -- especially with regard to Bloomy the "No Show" and his egregious tweet... call 911 (really??). This horrific accident took place in the Bronx, which if I recall, is still one of NYC's 5 boroughs. Meanwhile Bloomy claims that he doesn't want to interfere with Gov. Cuomo because the MTA is a state-run agency -- a totally lame and bogus excuse, if I ever heard one.
Gretchen (UWS)
The derailment of a Metro North train in the Bronx was a horrible tragedy. With 4 passengers dead,63 injured,and 11 of those injuries being critical, this was very bad. If this had occurred on a regular workday,the train would have been much more crowded,and the death and injury toll would have been much higher.How did this occur? Was the train going at a high rate of speed as it approached that very sharp curve? These are questions that will have to be answered in the days and weeks to come. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families of those who were killed and injured,as well as those who were injured in this horrific train wreck. Also, gratitude to all of those first responders, fire,police,EMTs and other medical personnel who immediately converged on the scene to launch rescue efforts and tend to the dead and injured.New York has the best first responders in the country. We owe them a real debt of gratitude for their bravery and their service.
John Fresh Meadows, NY
Hi John, The better question is what can we do about you Bloomberg? You have a nasty, uninterested and uncaring answer all the time. You just do as you please. As soon as I heard about it early in the morning I noticed that no one other than Kelly and Cuomo were there even after it happened and I'm not complaining about them. Sal Casano and OEM. [BY THE WAY WHERE WAS THE NEW KID ON THE BLOCK?]
No one was around at all just as it happened a few years back with the snow storm. So all these people wanted the third term to serve us even if we want to call it that. But since it's coming to an end of their reign they just make up their own rules as far as serving us the public. We wait years and years for repairs of all kinds, traffic lights, garbage in filthy lots, pot holes, poop all over the place. But they all know how to spend their funds allotted to them for the same people and in the same areas year after year.
Thank you John,maxxieemp
Mayor Bloomberg could care less. He 12 year run is over so there is no point. He's rich. Golf comes before anything else
JeanneJamaica, NY
Nobody needs the Mayor to be at the scene of disasters (or anywhere else in Bloomberg's case), but we especially don't need his churlish and irritable attitude when the subject is broached to him. He forgets he is a public servant, not a king.
FrancesEast Village
It is such a terrible tragedy that occurred yesterday. Being a commuter and have taken Metro North numerous times over the years I am stunned something like this would occur in this day and age.
My question is why was the motor man speeding? Common sense in riding a train or bus is these operators need to slow down and put the customer first. We put our lives in their hands everyday. I take a bus everyday from Staten Island and right now I dont feel safe because some of the bus drivers I encounter do speed.
Paula from Staten Island
How can councilmen Koppel blame the engineer without all the facts It is irresponsible and as far as mayor Bloomberg is concerned . If he was in the area he should have been their if not his representatives should have been there.
Sal from SI
Maybe you can explain what others can not. So far all I keep hearing about is "Where is Bloomy?" Are you that naive? Why would he care - especially now? YOU should be asking where the Mayor-elect was? that's more pertinent and another thing! Why arent your cameras in front of the those that represent the comuters? stop pandering to schumer. there are groups that represent the riding public...lets hear what they have to say and lets hear from the hiding board members there are they? who cares about schumer?
Let's wait for the NTSB to finish their investigation. Everyone is jumping to conclusions. Mechanical or human error? Let the agencies do their job and render their findings.
Steve Forest Hills
Why is the media trying to turn Politicians into ambulance chasers? Let the first responders do their jobs and the politicians do theirs. Bloomberg couldn't have helped by being on site, and doesn't need to "look good" by running to every incident.
Although it might seem like the mayor should have been there, I agree with his decision. He deferred to the governor, who was already there, along with many necessary people. He and his entourage would have been superfluous, and possibly in the way. He went, wisely, to the hospital instead.
Shelley, Park Slope
The Mayor not showing for something that has to do with regular people should be no shock. If it had something to do with Billion airs he would have been there right away. Joe from Bayside
First responders and Cuomo were fine as it was--doing their job. Why come down on Bloomberg just because because he was in Bermuda? Why do people make such a big deal out of this type of thing? Some politicians would show up just to have TV face time. Bloomberg isn't like that and it doesn't bother me.
Bloomberg as mayor did not act responsibly. By his logic Giuliani didn't need to be present during 9/11. If the city burned would he be playing golf or his fiddle? I hope he continues to play golf for the next month.
Leon from the East Village
1. If, as he claims, it doesn't matter where he is and he can do his job from anywhere, then why doesn't he either a) shut up and do his job or, b) if he insists on tweeting from out there, why doesn't he say where he is (is it too much to ask for a dateline)?
2. When he came back, he said outside St. Barnabas that he wasn't at the scene because he wasn't a firefighter or cop. He also isn't a doctor or a nurse, so why was he interrupting people's work and patients' recovery?
3. It was very funny watching him "update" the press outside St. B. because, as your own Cheryl Wills and Josh Robin said, he was trying to tell reporters things they'd known for hours.
Ellie - Turtle Bay
I think that Mayor Bloomberg had no responsibility to be on the scene to talk with reporters yesterday after the train wreck in the Bronx. The necessary work was done by first responders; the investigation of causes is being done by the NTSB and other appropriate agencies. Bloomberg's job is to choose good department heads and set policy, not to grandstand after an accident. I haven't liked everything that he has done as mayor, but he seems on the whole to be very competent. He is entitled to take time off and not be here 24/7. --John B., visitor to Manhattan from Great Barrington, Mass., who has used MTA trains on the Harlem line to get here.
Regardless of where Bloomberg was, I am most disappointed that our mayor elect did not show up. Huge mistake in my book. Here was a perfect opportunity for him to take the lead and he blew it. They are all the same!!
This train disaster joins the ranks of the giant snow storm and the Sandy Marathon embarassment as just another example of how this billionaire mayor doesn't care about people. Good Riddance!!
Mario from Chelsea
NY1 broadcast the news that Mayor Bloomberg was still on the golf links in Bermuda SIX HOURS after the train crash. No, he would prove nothing by making a press appearance at the train tracks. Yes, he would have exhibited compassion for citizens of the city he governs by sharing our feelings of being heartsick over those lost and harmed in this accident. That lack of compassion demonstrates indifference to us, which is chilling.
Sally Yorkville
Should Mayor Bloomberg have been present at the rail tragedy yesterday? He shouldn't even be in his third and illegal term.
--Chris in Astoria
Hi John,
There was no need for Mayor Bloomberg to be at the site...all city and state agencies had it under control. Govenor Cuomo definitely had to be there....he's up for re-election in the very near future. katemidtown
Bloomberg not appearing at the crash site yesterday had the same effect as someone who checks out on the job after giving their two-weeks notice -- he just doesn't care anymore. Had his term not been up at the end of the this year, one has to assume he would have responded differently.
AndyUpper East Side
Come on. Let's be realistic. What would Bloomberg or DeBlasio do if they were there? Pose for pictures and or give a speech. What do you want either of them to do? Ask yourselves that before deciding if they should be at a disaster scene or not.
Mike from Morningside
Clearly Bloomberg has checked out. Sure he should have been there, but he only has a few weeks left in office, and the mayor has no jurisdiction over the MTA.
Similarly, it would have been pre-mature for De Blasio to come to the accident scene. His statement was the appropriate response.
I'm just glad the Bloomberg years are over! However Cuomo must do more about MTA oversight. We are spending too much; our safety is paramount!
JoanRosedale, Queens
The train was going 82 miles an hour. This is on flat ground. If it was going that fast it isn't because the brakes were not working but because the engineer accelerated. That's just common sense.
Oliver Koppell City council member
Where were the 2 most important commissioners? Did anyone see the NYS or NYC DOT Commish?
I guess I'm the only one that heard the government warning shortly after 9/11 that tampering with the rails was tactic terrorists use to reak havoc on civilized societies. I'm not saying it was a terrorist attack, but it is strange how many train derailments we've had in the last year or so. Never had this problem so frequently before. Now.....
Norm Upper East side
As the initial shock and horror turned into disbelief, it was embarrassing to hear reporters ask the same questions over and over and get the same answer from the political people and Ray Kelly "I/we don't know."
We did not need to have Mayor Bloomberg there to repeat the phrase yet one more time.
This was in your house, Mayor Bloomberg...a tragedy on a quiet Sunday morning at the end of America's holiday for all.
I understand if you couldn't arrive there immediately; but, why didn't you conveya message of acknowledgement as well as concern for the people of the cityyou claim to love?
New York is a city of people, first and always. Many were hurt and we are all grieving.
BethUpper West Side
My name is is luis from bushwick brooklyn.
i want to say that as a public offical as Governor & Mayor of nyc that at times of emergencys that their presence is always required to assure the public citizens of nyc particually residents of the bronx.. I bet $100 that if this accident happend in any other state that their Mayor of their city would of been their- SMH !!
No train should be traveling south at 70miles an hour towards Spuyten Duyvil. The entire stretch of track between Riverdale Station and Spuyten Duyvil should be reduced to 30 miles per hour, until they have cleared Riverdale Station on the north and Spuyten Duyvil Station on the south. Phil
So Bloomberg is out of town on a holiday weekend. He gets back to town and goes visit the wounded at the hospital. And all you do is complain. OMG! I'm not a big fan of bloomberg, but you guys are so biased it's ridiculous.

I never noticed it much until I got into jr. high and always thought I was pretty, but that my nose kinda killed it for the rest of my face (lol).

After the consultation I knew he was the doctor for me, so I went ahead and booked my... more

So, I decided to join this community to share my upcoming rhinoplasty experience. I broke my nose in 2001, and didn't have it properly set at the time.

I'm excited about my soon-to-be new look, but nervous (like most people) about the general anaesthesia experience and... more

It probably comes as no surprise that I have hated my nose for a long time. It was perfectly fine until I was about 12 or 13 and then it just got horrible.

I paid a top-surgeon price to Dr. Mehta, and got a lot of problems. He is very kind, and listens to you, and answers your questions, which is why I went with him.

For over 15 years I have been thinking to to myself, what does my REAL nose look like under this big thing on my face? Not that I hate myself for having this nose, nor do I blame my father for passing it down to me. I actually like how I look and have a very blessed life. I'm sure many of you can relate, my nose just does not feel like it belongs on my face. To make matters worse, at age... more

I was always too afraid of getting a nose job because I would often see over-projected or turned up noses and I didn't want to look like someone else.

A lot of the CEH 'hands on' stuff requires at least a Linux box and a 2K server. The Linux machine can theoretically run any distro, but you'd be daft to run anything other than BackTrack as it has everything you would possibly need already preinstalled. The 2K server should be unpatched - you're using it as a 'Proof Of Concept' machine, not as something you would encounter very often in the real world.
So, instead of investing in a super duper box to run loads of VMWare machines on, you would probably be better off investing in another box to install 2K server on and a switch so that you can do things like ARP spoofing on. BackTrack is a bootable distro so you can boot from it on your current workstation.
The problem with VMWare for this type of thing is that it's very hard to get everything set up and working properly when you are sodding around with packet crafting and what not - because you are basically using the same underlying TCP/IP stack. Lots of the labs I've been doing this week (I'm taking a CEH class right now!) haven't worked properly on VMs because of this.
Of course, a nice big machine to run VMs on will certainly stand you in good stead for future certs, so it's probably a sound investment anyway.
