Relay for Life Bridge Ride Report
I always start with the why? So here I go... every year I try to pay some non Catholic penance and you will need a few drinks in me for a back story. My way of giving back is participating in a charity event to raise money. Map of the route for the ride... Hats off to Scott the planner, coordinator, and ride leader. Via my SPOT - here was the route.
Here was the charity Poster - Scott sent me.
For the lurkers asleep at the wheel this is what the hype is all about. again this year my company is leading a Bridge Ride for the American Cancer Society Relay for Life. It's a motorcycle tour through the countryside around Fredericksburg VA, designed to go over or under as many bridges as possible. The $$ come from the riders either donating or collecting pledges for each bridge (PER BRIDGE=PB) we cross. ALL proceeds go to our Company Relay for Life team. The 2013 Bridge Ride is the afternoon of Thursday 9 May, so now is the time to sign up to ride, to pledge, or to donate. I was blessed enough to have many giving riders on here who pledged some big numbers and then had others send me PMs and Posts wanting to donate.
Yup I took my other big girl... or should I say my first girl with 2 wheels in the garage... and what is up with the snowmobile in the above picture? Another back-story.
I left for the bridge... I didn't count this one or the others getting to the start point.
videos go here- click pics
We had nine bikes and 10 riders... I was in the back of the pack.
The first hour of the ride I didn't take many pictures because I was multi tasking via blue-tooth while dodging cagers in Downtown Fredericksburg. Do you know how difficult it is to talk with your hands while on two wheels... I've been doing it for so long, only the onlookers are scared but just another day. So we did much of the below...
And move of the below...
Then we got to see some of the more scenic part of the outer Fredericksburg area
More stop and turn and bridge and repeat
As you can see we worked our way all over the city.
Some Map routes.
After an hour of riding we made our way to one of the many Civil War parks in the area for a stretch.
Got a warm greeting...
Then I was walking and talking... still on conference call but I got off some pics of the site.
Then was back on the road for some more rural riding... here is the route
Then back on the road... and finally off the phone.
Then we stopped for the last time... and I had to show my BWDR shirt (part of the pledge
Last part of the route...
... and more bridges
More fun than... Click pic for Video
Another video click pic
Another video... click pic
Ended the same way we started... with all riders and 77 bridges complete. If anyone wants the GPX file... let me know. I was graciously offered beer and pizza at Scott's place. After WAWA for some supplies... back home.
Stats for the day was 236.6 miles.
Entire route
Thanks for all the support; riding with some very charitable people is very rewarding and it was an honor to represent the SMIBs on this occasion. Oh and all the riders got a sticker

understanding Explorer versus Desktop? Or maybe System Folders?
I'm still trying to understand Windows Explorer in Windows 7. Any help would be nice. (I hope I am using the correct terminology - please correct me if I am not.)
Here is the confusion: On a fairly new install of Windows 7, my desktop shows 5 System Folder icons (Recycle Bin, a USER abc folder, Computer, Network, and Control Panel). In Windows Explorer, the Favorites option on the left for Desktop shows 6 Systems Folders (the same 5 above plus Library.) If I right-click on the Favorites link to the desktop, it's properties says the target is "C:\Users\abc\Desktop". If I go to that link in Windows Explorer versus the Favorites shortcut for Desktop, I see no icons. I'm really confused as to what Windows is trying to show me when and where. What do I need to understand/research/learn to alleviate this confusion? Do I need to know more about Systems Folders or Explorer or should I just attempt to start learning Windows 8? Thanks. |

The Desktop folder is a 'special' folder. It works the same way as any other folder (meaning you can put whatever files you like in it) but it also has those special icons to Network, Control Panel, etc.
When you browse to the Desktop using the link in Favourites, it will show these special icons. But when you browse to it in C:\Users\[user]\Desktop, it will show it in 'normal' mode, showing only the regular files in there. I agree, it is a bit confusing. While those 'special' shortcuts (Control Panel, etc.) will always show in Explorer, you can set which of the 'special' icons are shown on the Desktop (with the wallpaper, etc.): in the Start menu, type 'desktop icons' and it should find an entry called 'Show or hide common icons on the desktop' where you can change what shows and what doesn't. Hope that helps! |

Thanks. It helps to know that I am not wrongly using the Explorer and this difference in display is simply a 'feature'.

I had Cannas back in Ohio (lived there until '07) and usually just grew them in containers. I see them in the ground all over here. I've heard mixed reviews on whether or not they overwinter in the ground. I have concerns about even trying that: 1. Our soil is clayish, and usually saturated muck all winter. This year, it was frozen muck. 2. I can't help but think even if the rhizomes survive, it will take forever for them to bloom due to soil temperatures in early spring. 3. This year, the ground actually froze to a depth of a few inches or more. Many years it doesn't freeze maybe more than an inch max, and that's only occasionally. Is it worthwhile to try to overwinter, or do you have better results lifting and then starting indoors to transplant outside? Storing is another thing - I have a modern, heated home, I don't have anywhere that is "dry and between 45 and 60 degrees" in my home. Either the fridge (too cold) or anywhere in the house (too warm). |

Cannas can be overwintered in the ground "most years" in Maryland, but not without certain considerations. Location of the planting, relative to exposure to full sun and possible protection from the north winter winds would be beneficial. Your soil in the bed should be amended or replaced to provide reasonable drainage and aeration. Obviously a heavy mulch needs to be applied in the late fall over the cut off canna stalks to a depth to prevent freezing. Most of this mulch can be removed in the early spring to facilitate earlier growth. It would likely be advisable to lift and divide your canna clumps each spring to prevent overcrowding if the clumps have shown good growth. This would help to aerate and speed up soil warming. If you wish to really speed up the soil temperature increase in the early spring consider covering the bed with clear plastic and remove it once the plants begin to emerge. Regards, Kent |
I know I'm one zone warmer than you, in SE Virginia, so you'll have to take that into consideration. But this is my experience with cannas: My first year with them I was given 4 from a neighbor. I put them in the ground where they promptly started multiplying. My neighbor told me that she lifted them in the winter and stored them in her unheated but attached garage. I don't have a garage or a basement, so I lifted mine and stashed them in my crawl space. Of course when I did so, I did not get every bit of the thick roots with them. The next year I pulled the cannas out of the crawl space and they looked... dead. Crossing my fingers, I potted them up and waited. Only to have it confirmed that they were in fact, dead. So I guess the crawl space was not a good way to protect them for the winter. However, from the bits of roots left in the ground, a dozen more cannas came up and have multiplied quite invasively ever since (and I obviously don't dig them up for the winter anymore). So much so, in fact, that this year I've decided it's time to purge myself of them as they are taking over. They had absolutely no mulch covering them, and the root system seems very shallow imo. And I've got the same clay muck that you do :( It would seem to me that nothing will kill them, including the winter. Even with as cold as it was this winter, I have 100% faith that my cannas are still there alive and kicking. If I were you, I'd try a few in the ground (with some protection, since you're a zone colder than me) and, if you can, lift a few just in case. |

I hate being told what to do. I choose to use Internet Explorer. So what? Does that mean I'm less of a human than a Firefox user?
I suggest, for starters, unitalicizing the main body text. It makes it hard to read.
And I think too many dotted borders. Try making a couple solid, as it looks like it's about to, you know, fall apart =P

CyanLight hit the nail on the head here.
As a professional web designer, I am shocked you would do this. Since more than 60% of internet users browse the web in IE6 or IE7, you had really hope your users all use Firefox.
I don't particularly like Internet Exlorer, but if a large percentage of the world uses it, you must allow people to view your site in it. Besides, if you can't take the time to see how your site looks in IE, then what about people using Safari, Opera, Netscape, or any other browser? What about differing versions of Firefox? Are you going to support Fx1 AND Fx2? Do you really not care that you'll lose visitors (and presumably money) as a result of this decision?
Enough of my rant... now for my opinion of your site.
I like the colors. They layout is okay. Font size could be bigger...
I don't like the FreeWebs advertisement at the bottom... it doesn't fit your color scheme, plus it's unrelated.
You have a syntax error in your code... in your doctype. I believe it's the '\n'
Your code validates, which is good.
Overall, not bad. But honestly, you have to support IE...

Jacksonville Man Sentenced to 3 Years in Federal Prison for Failing to Register as a Sex Offender
Jacksonville, Florida - United States Attorney Robert E. O'Neill announces today that Jeffrey Ramon Highsmith (36, Jacksonville) was sentenced to 3 years in federal prison by U.S. District Judge Timothy J. Corrigan for failing to register as sex offender, after traveling from Florida to North Carolina. Highsmith was also sentenced to serve a fifteen year term of supervised release during which he is prohibited from unsupervised contact with minor children. Highsmith has been in custody since his arrest on January 19, 2010 in North Carolina.
According to court documents, on February 27, 2006, in Flagler County, Florida, Highsmith was convicted of lewd and lascivious molestation of a child. He was sentenced to 24 months in prison and three years of sex offender probation following his incarceration. On May 25, 2007, Highsmith was released from custody, and on July 18, 2007, he registered as a convicted sex offender with the State of Florida. Florida sex offender registration requirements mandated that Highsmith re-register twice yearly. In connection with his sex offender probationary period, he was required to wear an electronic monitoring device. On December 19, 2009, Highsmith removed the electronic monitoring device and discarded it in downtown Jacksonville, thus violating the conditions of his release. He fled to North Carolina without first notifying local authorities in Jacksonville, in violation of his sex offender registration requirements. On January 19, 2010, Highsmith was arrested in North Carolina by officers with the Macon County Sheriff's Office and the U.S. Marshals Service.
This case was investigated by the United States Marshals Service, the Macon County (North Carolina) Sheriff's Office, and Florida Department of Law Enforcement. It was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney D. Rodney Brown.
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse. Led by the United States Attorneys' Offices and the Criminal Division's Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section (CEOS), Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who sexually exploit children, and to identify and rescue victims. For more information about Project Safe Childhood, please visit www.projectsafechildhood.gov. For more information about internet safety education, please visit www.projectsafechildhood.gov and click on the tab "other resources."

When I wrote my initial impressions of the MOJO, I had only been using the unit for about a day or so (hence the impressions being "initial"). Now that I've had it for about three weeks, I've spent a lot of time doing various things with it – playing games, watching movies, streaming videos and NBA basketball; basically, a lot of the stuff I would normally used SHIELD for. This has given me a good idea of where MOJO's strong points are, where it falls short, and how it stacks up against SHIELD and OUYA.
So, Android-powered game consoles are a thing. Whether anyone likes it or not, this is a direction that some companies are going, trying to reshape how we think of traditional gaming. It kind of started with the OUYA, a $99 Android console that takes a unique approach to the gaming console, as well as Android itself. It doesn't have the Play Store, but instead OUYA's curated game store where all games are free to try.
If you've elected to ignore SHIELD and OUYA in lieu of the upcoming Android-powered gaming console from Mad Catz, the final pieces of the puzzle have finally been revealed. Dubbed M.O.J.O., Mad Catz first announced the console back in June, though the company was scant on the details at the time – no specs, pricing, or release information was available.
Today, the company has announced that M.O.J.O will be available "in limited quantities" beginning December 10th, with an MSRP of $250 – a price that sits comfortably in between OUYA and NVIDIA's SHEILD.

Ashburn man charged after fleeing traffic checkpoint
An Ashburn man was arrested Thursday after authorities said he fled a traffic checkpoint at the intersection of Broadlands Boulevard and the Dulles Greenway.
Terrence G. Bowser, 40, is charged with felony DUI, felony eluding and driving on a revoked license. He is being held without bond at the Loudoun County Adult Detention Center.
Bowser, according to Sheriff's Office reports, told deputies at the 10:30 a.m. checkpoint that he had no driver's license. When deputies asked him to pull to the side of the road, he sped away.
Deputies pursued Bowser to Duck Creek Square, where he got out his car and ran, reports said.
He was later taken into custody near an apartment building.
Just a traffic checkpoint (checking for dead tags, headlights, etc) I would guess.
I hope it wasn't a DUI checkpoint at 10am!
There was a DUI checkpoint at 10am? I didn't know we partied that hard in Ashburn!
"Bowser, according to Sheriff's Office reports, told deputies at the 10:30 a.m. checkpoint"

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

AfPak Channel Daily Brief
Against Queen and Country?
British forces in Afghanistan arrested two British nationals Thursday on
suspicion of fighting with the Taliban and plotting against the United
Kingdom, though news reports disagree on whether they were captured in
Helmand province or the western Afghan city of Herat, where Afghan forces
took control of security Thursday (Times, BBC, Tel, Reuters, AP, AFP). The
arrests come just a day after British and American troops withdrew from
Helmand's capital Lashkar Gah, though the pullback was limited, and
provincial governor Gulab Mangal warned of the security risk if Taliban
infiltration from Pakistan is not stopped (Reuters, Post, Tel). And the
Guardian reports on the surprising progress of some units of the Afghan
National Army (ANA) (Guardian).
A report released Wednesday by the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan
Reconstruction (SIGAR) has found that the United States still has few
controls over the nearly $70 billion in aid money disbursed in Afghanistan
since 2002, increasing the possibility that money could be diverted or wind
up supporting insurgents (WSJ, CNN, FT, AFP). And Reuters notes the
continuing threat the narcotics trade poses to Afghan stability, especially
in the country's south (Reuters).
In a speech in Paris Wednesday, former top U.S. and NATO commander in
Afghanistan and incoming CIA director David Petraeus warned of "fragile and
reversible" gains in Afghanistan, and described the importance of rebuilding
America's relationship with Pakistan (NYT, AFP, Tel). And U.S. Army Sgt.
Calvin Gibbs, a soldier accused of allegedly leading a group of men on
missions to deliberately kill Afghan civilians, will have a pretrial hearing
in Washington State Thursday (CNN).
Following the money
American politicians from both major parties, including Representatives Joe
Pitts (R-PA), Dan Burton (R-IN), and Dennis J. Kucinich (D-OH), are facing
questions about donations received from two American citizens indicted
Tuesday on charges of working as agents of Pakistan's intelligence service
to influence American positions on the disputed region of Kashmir (NYT,
Dawn, Post). Separatist leaders in Indian-controlled Kashmir have denounced
the arrest of Syed Ghulam Nabi Fai and indictment of Zaheer Ahmed, blaming
the action on India (AFP, ET).
The Republican-controlled House Committee on Foreign Affairs will vote
Thursday on a bill that would restrict aid to Pakistan and several other
Muslim countries, though the measure is unlikely to pass the
Democratic-controlled Senate (Post, AP, AFP, Politico). And a federal court
in Chicago Wednesday released 26 previously-sealed documents from the case
of Tahawwur Hussain Rana, who was convicted last month of supporting the
group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) but acquitted of charges that he directly
supported the 2008 Mumbai attacks (AP).
The provincial government in Sindh has extended for another three months
additional powers given to the country's paramilitary Rangers in Karachi to
help quell violence in the city (ET). Jailed activists of the Muttahida
Qaumi Movement (MQM) are reportedly to be moved to Karachi as a sign of
reconciliation between the ruling Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and the MQM,
which secured two parliamentary seats in Pakistan-administered Kashmir in
voting in Karachi Wednesday (Dawn, Dawn). And Pakistan's Economic
Coordination Committee (ECC) has approved a subsidies package for food
staples ahead of the Muslim holiday of Ramadan (Dawn).
The Tribune reports that a suspected U.S. drone strike has killed four
people in the Mir Ali area of North Waziristan, while up to four men working
for the Pakistani government's oil company were killed in a
remote-controlled explosion in the province of Baluchistan (ET, Dawn, AP,
BBC, AFP). In Quetta, an unidentified gunman shot and killed a Pakistan
Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) activist Wednesday (Dawn). And an explosion
Thursday in the Khyber agency destroyed a NATO fuel tanker (Dawn).
Party pooper
Afghan officials in Kabul on Wednesday destroyed thousands of bottles of
alcohol as well as expired medication recovered from customs searches and
guesthouses (Pajhwok). According to Pajhwok, the cache included, "17,430
cans of beer, 4,283 bottles of wine, 55 jerry cans of alcohol, 16 bags wine
grapes, and six tons of expired and illegal medicine."

I tried some from my miller mini keg and it's great.
I made this as an All Grain last year and converted it to Extract a few months ago and both of them came out EXCELLENT!!!. It will become my all around brew in the fridge. LOVE THE STUFF.
I gave my clone a try, and it turned out fantastic. I might use a pinch less roasted barley next time, but boy did it turn out great.
Another thumbs up. I left it about 4 months in secondary and it tastes good. I like this much better than the mint choc stout recipe posted here. You can taste the chocolate, but there is less of it.
I've brewed this recipe twice now. I did the first attempt as listed. It turned out as a great tasting stout. On my second attempt I adjusted the list to satisfy my personal palette better. I toned down the Roasted Barley to 11oz and raised the chocolate to 13oz. In addition I raised the Lactose Sugar to 1.25lbs. If you really want to clone Left Handed Milk Stout. Another important step is to decrease your normal bottle priming method. My first attempt I used 4.5oz sugar at 68 degrees. My second attempt I use 3.5oz at 68. Left Handed Milk stout has very little head and almost no lacing whatsoever. In all I like my second attempt better. With that added Lactose creamy taste. But it's all up to your personal taste. In all I would say that this recipe is great and I would recommend it to anyone who appreciates any Guinness style beer. It really does taste similar to Left Handed Milk Stout. (Just make sure you aren't lactose intolerant) Also I forgot to mention I added 3oz of Vanilla Extract to the secondary on my second attemp. It really adds to the flavor.
I had a sample of this fully carbed last night, and oh my god. I didn't want to stop drinking them, even though they were hitting me pretty fast. I see myself getting into trouble with this one.
Anyone else get an extra-powerful hangover from this beer? Maybe it's just because I only partially mashed my oats, but after like three of these I feel like crap the next morning.
"If you're here for the premature ejaculators meeting, you've come too soon."
Brewed up a 5 gal batch of this last night. Smells great!!! Airlock is going insane!!! Can't wait to taste. This will be a fine drink for fishing opener 4 weeks from now...there is still ice on the lake!!!
I'm about half way through drinking my batch, and it's pretty fantastic. I'd give this beer a solid 4.5 stars.

Reviewed Dang Cold Asian Noodle Salad
Aug 31, 2012 in Food Network Community Toolbox on FoodNetwork.com
"I'm sorry to say this but Guy's sauce is missing the key flavors of a good Asian sauce. First, it's harshly tart - almost acrid. Second it lacks the smooth 'balance' of flavors of a first rate Asian noodle sauce. A good Asian noodle sauce is balance between the tart, sweet, savory with a soft tasting finish.

SHEPHERDSTOWN — Just a week after winning a Peabody Award for her film "Hollow," Logan native Elaine McMillion will be in Shepherdstown Friday for a free screening of her documentary.
Regarded as the equivalent of the Pulitzer Prize for television and radio work, the 73rd-annual Peabody winners were announced April 2. The honor is the latest in a string for "Hollow" since its debut on June 20, 2013 – West Virginia's 150th birthday.
McMillion, a 26-year-old West Virginia University grad, spent close to a year in McDowell to make the interactive documentary examining the pride and struggles associated with life in what's perhaps the most hardscrabble place in our hardscrabble state, an area beset with drug addiction, high unemployment, health problems and other woes.
Once home to nearly 100,000 residents – it boasted West Virginia's third-highest population in 1950 – McDowell's fortunes shifted with the decline of the coal industry. The hollowing out of the state's southernmost county continues to decline, to just 21,326 residents in the 2010 Census.
On Friday, McMillion will host a 7 p.m. screening of "Hollow" as part of the Shepherdstown Film Society's spring series. The university's Common Reading Program and Coal Country Tours are co-sponsoring the event, which will include a discussion period with McMillion following the 90-minute documentary.
The filmmaker counts herself as part of the problem – namely, the exodus of young people not only from McDowell but from much of West Virginia, she wrote in a 2013 blog for The New York Times.
She grew up outside Charleston, where her father depended on the coal industry for a paycheck, just as her great-grandfather and grandfather had. "Layoffs, shutdowns and sometimes promotions prompted my family to move 10 times before I reached age 12," she wrote.
After earning her degree in journalism, she moved out of state, first to D.C. to work on multimedia projects for The Washington Post and later to Boston.
"I dearly loved this place, one of the most beautiful areas in the country, and I'm proud of my family's roots, but there were few opportunities in the area for an aspiring filmmaker," she wrote in the Times. "Today, I feel a sense of guilt that I left my home state behind to chase my dreams. … I would like to find solutions that could help us return."
Her documentary takes an innovative approach – making use of traditional professional footage and archival photos but also submissions from dozens of residents in the form of Instagram photos, short videos and text.
McMillion and other members of her team led storytelling workshops in McDowell starting in 2012, and provided community members with camcorders and other multimedia tools.
"When I first went down there [to McDowell], I sort of thought of this as a linear film that maybe would follow a couple characters: you'd press play, sit back, and watch," she told Filmmaker Magazine last year. "But after I met all these amazing people in one day and started talking with the team as we started coming together, I kept really thinking about all the data that was there like from the census and other forms, that we could use. And there were historical photographs that showed what this place was, and we just thought it would be a really rich new media experience, more so than a linear film, that would allow more voices to be heard and allow participation from the community to shoot their own content."
McMillion found funding for her work through a Kickstarter campaign, a Tribeca Film Institute New Media Grant and the West Virginia Humanities Council. Reviewers have praised "Hollow" for dissolving stereotypes of West Virginia, Appalachia and small-town life in general.

Will Net Keep Election Promises?
The 1996 presidential election was a nightmare for websites that collapsed under the strain of too many users and not enough server capacity.
It was a humbling experience for fledgling Internet sites, a situation that might have been avoided with better preparation. Four years later, the stakes are higher. News and political sites are in cutthroat competition with each other, and the amount of visitors has increased exponentially.
Hovering over the proceedings is the matter of just what role the Web plays on Election Day, anyway. Despite the advantages of the Web -- presumably speed, and definitely details -- it appears that television is still the medium of choice.
"Television puts things in context, and I am going to use the Net to augment what I see on-air," said James Brent, a political science professor at San Jose State University.
The Web has its place, but it won't replace television. At least, not this time around.
"(The Net) is not going to make (an) attentive public not watch television," said Shanto Iyengar, professor of communication and political science at Stanford University.
Nevertheless, the numbers of Internet visitors in this election season have been impressive.
According to a Media Metrix survey, the top 50 news sites received 40 million unique page visitors as of September 2000. MSNBC's website was the leader with 8.87 million unique visitors, followed by the websites of CNN (7.46 million) and ABC (3.62 million).
ABCNews.com enjoyed more than a 200 percent increase in traffic during the presidential debates and estimates its users will triple on Election Day. The other major outlets expect similar spikes.
"We have been preparing for months," said Scott Woelfel, president and editor-in-chief of CNN Interactive. "In '96 the site traffic increased about five times. This year we are expecting way bigger numbers.
"We have put in a lot of additional servers to handle any requests that might be made and we have reduced the weight of our pages."
Sites like AOL, MSNBC.com and Washingtonpost.com will offer Web-exclusive commentary and analysis, along with audio and video clips. They will update their sites by the minute and offer ongoing interactive elements.
Websites are also teaming up with local newspapers and television affiliates to further their reach.
While AOL is working with CNN, Time and CBS News, Evote.com has hooked up with online newspapers and television stations like the Los Angeles Times and Arizona-based television station KMSB, to gather an estimated seven million visitors.
Major sites may offer national coverage but for those concerned with trends in their county, dot-govs are the best option. Besides detailed state election results, sites like Washington's Vote 2000 provide federal, statewide, judicial, and legislative candidate information. NCSL.org has made available a searchable database on each state's ballot measures.
