Since its inception in 2004, the GP2 Series has established itself as a serious breeding ground for Formula One talent - with the likes of Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton as evidence. And official tyre suppliers to the series, Bridgestone, are helping to do the same for motorsport journalism, with their e-reporter competition.
The nine 2008 finalists will each get to report from one European round of the series, and will be supplying Formula1.com with details of the GP2 action, plus a diary reflecting their experience as a first-time paddock correspondent. First up in Barcelona was 22-year-old Gavin Grace from Ireland
Qualifying report - Maldonado the master in Barcelona
Pastor Maldonado secured the first pole position of the 2008 GP2 Series in a scrappy qualifying session on Friday. The Piquet Sports driver picked up two points for his efforts, giving him an early lead in the championship table ahead of Saturdays race. Maldonados lap time of 1:27.547 gave him the pole by just 0.158 seconds ahead of Álvaro Parente. Maldonados Piquet Sports team mate Andreas Zuber qualified in third.
Parente could have snatched pole but for a mistake in the final sector on his fastest lap. Despite this, Super Nova Racing boss David Sears was delighted that his man was the highest placed rookie and predicted that Parente will be a revelation in 2008.
The session had to be halted for nine minutes after Sebastien Buemi of Trust Team Arden spun and smashed into the wall on the exit of the fast Campsa corner. Bruno Senna also had his session cut short. The Brazilian blamed a gearbox problem for his spin at the Renault corner. Nonetheless, the winner of the main race here at the Circuit du Catalunya in 2007 will start fourth tomorrow and is confident that he will have a good result. GP2 Asia Series Champion Romain Grosjean will line up in 12th after his Renault engine expired towards the end of the session.
But the day belonged to Maldonado. Speaking afterwards, the Venezuelan hailed his Piquet Sports team, paying tribute to their hard work during the pre-season testing programme. In the beginning we had to learn the new car but now we understand it well, he said. Last year was very difficult but this is a great start to this year. I am very confident for tomorrow.
Friday diary:
Sun and blue skies greeted us this morning, a perfect dawn for the beginning of the new 2008 incarnation of GP2. Then again, what else would one expect from beautiful Barcelona?
We entered the GP2 paddock shortly after arriving at Circuit du Catalunya, and it was already a hive of activity. Just like school on the first day of term, all around us people were embracing returning friends.
Roberto Chinchero of Italian sports newspaper Gazetta Dello Sport was kind enough to give me some pointers on the weekend ahead, and his tales of watching Formula Junior at Monza showed that a lot of work has to be done by any journalist who wishes to cover Formula One racing.
Mark from Bridgestone was kind enough to give me an insight into the preparation of the tyres and even let me fit one onto a rim. It was taken off shortly afterwards though, so the entire GP2 field can breathe a sigh of relief!
We then got to eat lunch with GP2 Asia Series champion Romain Grosjean in the Bridgestone motorhome, who was more interested in watching the Formula One practice on TV than in his spaghetti. Not that I blame him
We watched the GP2 qualifying session before the highlight of the day, a guided tour of the Williams teams pit garage, giving me a great behind the scenes look at the logistical side of Formula One racing.
That was the end of a long but thrilling day, bar a spot of relaxing late-night karting, parts of which were as competitive as anything we will see all weekend. And that was just day one! Roll on the weekend.
Saturday race report - perfect start for Parente
Alvaro Parente made the dream start to his GP2 career with a win in the opening race of the season in Barcelona. The Super Nova Racing driver led from lights to flag, and picked up the fastest lap bonus point in a dominant display.
Parente was given a gift by polesitter Pastor Maldonado. He stalled his Piquet Sports car at the start, giving Alvaro a clear run to the first corner. Parente took the lead ahead of Andreas Zuber and Bruno Senna. The safety car had to be brought out on Lap 2 after a pair of collisions at Turn 1 - Christian Bakkerud made contact with Ben Hanley and Ho-Pin Tung and Roldan Rodriguez also had a coming together.
The teams took advantage of the safety-car period to make their compulsory pit stops. Good work by the iSport International crew allowed Senna to leapfrog Zuber, but Parente held on to the lead. Giorgio Pantano of the Barwa International Campos Team was in fourth.
Parente held off Senna on the restart and then had to deal with a mirror-load of the Brazilian for the rest of the race. Zuber followed in third, unable to attack the leaders due to flat spots caused by locking his front tyres on the opening lap.
While there was to be no more overtaking at the front, great battles ensued throughout the field. Adrian Valles made an excellent overtaking move on Vitaly Petrov, but the Spaniards tyres began to wear, dropping him to 17th from a high of fifth. Romain Grosjean made up seven spots on his qualifying position in his ART Grand Prix car. The GP2 Asia Series champion showed raw speed throughout the race and finished fifth ahead of Petrov. Sebastien Buemi came home seventh, a great effort from 20th, and Japans Kamui Kobayashi picked up the final point by finishing eighth.
Parente, of course, leads the championship table tonight. He paid tribute to his Super Nova Racing Team, hailing the improvement of the car. He also said that he was under a lot of pressure from Senna, but managed to get to the end without making any mistakes. There was one low for the team, however. Christian Bakkerud will miss Sundays sprint race. He was forced to retire due to a recurrence of last seasons back injury.
Saturday diary:
Being in the GP2 paddock at the Spanish Grand Prix is, for me, a surreal experience. Its a long way from Galway to Barcelona, though it was nice to be greeted with a text message from a mate back home when I awoke this morning. Gavin, fancy going to a match later on? he asked. Sorry I replied, Im meeting other friends today, including Romain, Pastor, Bruno and Andreas. He didnt get it
Earlier this morning, Kevin Garside of the British newspaper the Daily Telegraph (and also one of the Bridgestone e-reporter judges) took time out for a chat about life as a journalist. I was also lucky enough to see what its like to broadcast Formula One racing as the Radio Monte Carlo crew (including F1 legend Patrick Tambay) invited me to their booth. Patrick is here to support his son in the Formula BMW support races and reckons I should do the same. Who am I to disagree with an F1 race winner? Go Adrian!
Then it was time to go to work. I ate lunch with Javier Villa and Roldan Rodriguez before interviewing Adrian Campos and GP2 Technical Director Didier Perrin. It was great to talk with these true racing fanatics, and anyone who doubts the seriousness of GP2 should spend time in their company.
They should also watch a tape of todays race. It was a thrilling affair as Alvaro Parente held off Bruno Senna in a race-long battle. It truly was a great way to start the season - for over 30 laps they fought tooth and nail, always staying within a second of each other.
After some post-race interviews, there was just enough time to watch the GP2 stars of tomorrow race in Formula BMW. This one was also close but, like Alvaro, one driver led from start to finish. Who was he? Well
lets just say that Patricks kid is pretty special.
Sunday race report - Grosjean blunder hands Kobayashi sprint win
Continuing a weekend of rookie domination in GP2, Sundays sprint race was won by Japans Kamui Kobayashi. It was a race that looked to be all but over with six laps remaining, but turned out to give the 130,000 crowd a thrilling ending.
Kobayashi started from pole and led the opening two laps before a beautiful pass at Turn 1 gave the lead to Romain Grosjean. The Frenchman, driving for ART Grand Prix, gained a five-second lead and it seemed the GP2 Asia Series champion was cruising towards a maiden main series win.
However, this was not to be the case. On lap 20, DPRs Giacomo Ricci spun on the exit of the final chicane and his car stopped on track. This meant that the safety car had to be called upon and the field were once again bunched together. Race on!
The action started before the green flag. Leader Grosjean overshot the chicane, allowing second-placed Kobayashi to pressure him into Turn 1. Grosjean pushed the DAMS driver wide and held him off. However, race control deemed his blocking to be overly aggressive and forced Grosjean to take a drive-through penalty which would ultimately relegate him to 13th.
Behind Kobayashi there was more action. The Piquet Sports team mates touched as Pastor Maldonado misjudged an overtaking move on Andreas Zuber - not the first coming together for the pair. Maldonado was forced to retire and Zuber dropped out of the points, never to return. This moved Davide Valsecchi into fifth place, behind Bruno Senna in fourth. Javier Villa was sixth, pleasing the home crowd. Sebastien Buemi and Giorgio Pantano tried to catch Kobayashi but could not, and finished second and third respectively.
The Japanese driver crossed the line first, when 10 minutes earlier it seemed he had no chance of winning. Speaking after the race, he had sympathy for Grosjean. Last year we were (Formula 3 Euroseries) team mates and he did this to me often without penalty. But today in front of the FIA and F1
I guess its too much. Today was good but we need to improve, particularly in qualifying.
Next up for Kamui is a scuba-diving holiday in the Maldives, where he can reflect on a successful debut weekend. So is GP2 predictable? Not a chance.
Sunday diary:
Motorsport is often regarded as glamorous, but this weekend has given me a new respect for all involved in this great event. On Sunday, we arrived at the track at 7:45 and already the cars were being prepared for the race, just as they were at the same time on Friday and Saturday and no doubt late both evenings too. Chefs were making breakfast in the hospitality centre and marshals were on the roads directing traffic. And I thought I was tired! As fans, we owe each of these people a huge debt of gratitude.
This mornings GP2 sprint race was a cracker. For a long time, it looked like Romain Grosjean had everything sewn up, but his mistake after the safety-car period gave the huge crowd here a thrilling conclusion. There are two certainties to come out of the race though. Romain is a remarkable driver who we will see for a long time to come and, though Im told its rarely seen, Kamui Kobayashis smile is infectious.
Then there was the small matter of the Formula One Grand Prix this afternoon. Due to the nature of the sport, it must be watched on TV to get a full appreciation of everything that is going on, but to see these cars up close and personal is nonetheless a truly amazing experience. The speed, the screech of the engines, and the anticipation at the start are spine tingling and a joy to behold for any fan of motorsport. Victory went to Kimi Raikkonen and the seemingly unstoppable Ferrari team. I get the impression that we will be seeing the red car at the front a lot in 08. For a fellow Finn though, it wasnt such a good day. Heikkis crash was frightening to see and its a tribute to the safety of the monocoques used in Formula One that he escaped with relatively minor injuries. The sport has come a long way in the last 15 years,
You can also see this in the F1 paddock. As I walked through it Sunday evening, I couldnt help but be amazed by the scale of this operation and the thousands of man hours that go into entertaining us for a couple of hours, 18 times a year. It also hit me how truly lucky I was to be there, mingling amongst some of the most famous athletes in the world. All I can say is a big thank you to everyone involved in the e-reporter competition. To my fellow finalists who I met on Thursday, to all the drivers, team officials, journalists and everyone who was kind enough to give me a moment of their time and in particular a big thank you Bridgestone, to GP2 and to Debbie, Bert, Gert and Alexa whose help and kindness made this an amazing weekend. I hope my fellow finalists get to have as much fun as I did and I hope that anyone who reads this will be inspired to enter in 2009. I know Im glad I did.

Member of the Hutterite Brethren, an Anabaptist sect that takes its name from its Austrian founder, Jakob Hutter, who was burned as a heretic in 1536. His followers modeled themselves on the early church in Jerusalem by holding their goods in common. Persecuted in Moravia and the Tirol, they moved eastward to Hungary and the Ukraine. In the 1870s many emigrated to the U.S. and settled in South Dakota. The society still exists in the western U.S. and Canada, where it has colonies of 60–150 members, who operate collective farms. Hutterites are pacifists who take no part in politics and remain separate from outside society.

After enduring persecution for a time (see Anabaptist), the Brethren migrated to North America in three separate groups from 1719 to 1733. There they established themselves at Germantown, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and from there moved south and west along with other pioneers.
The Brethren Church shares its early unstable heritage with the Church of the Brethren but was separated in 1883, being the most progressive of the three groups resulting from this split at the time of H. R. Holsinger. The most conservative of the groups (the Old Order, centered in Dayton, OH) is now known as the German Baptist church. The current Church of the Brethren was the middle (or conservative) group. This split was not really about doctrine (at the time, though the groups have drifted apart since) but over such things as the starting of Sunday Schools, the holding of revival meetings, and the use of an indoor baptistry rather than running water in a creek or river. The progressive group (Brethren Church) includes a denomination with headquarters in Ashland, Ohio. In 1939 the Progressives split into two denominations, with those seeking an open position to the issue of eternal security maintaining the name Brethren Church, and those seeking a firm affirmation of eternal security becoming the Fellowship of Grace Brethren Churches (FGBC), commonly called the Grace Brethren Church, headquartered in Winona Lake, Indiana. The Grace Brethren experienced a split in the 1990s (primarily related to the connection between water baptism and church membership), with a minority of churches forming the Conservative Grace Brethren Churches, International (CGBCI). In 2007, families from both the FGBC and CGBCI formed a new fellowship calling themselves the Brethren Reformed Church.

S/S13 Collection - Radio Scarpe
Radio Scarpe !!
Radio Scarpe, as it was explained to me by Siliano, is the gossip network that operates between shoe factories throughout the Italian mainland. "Gucci knew Salvatore and Gianni were scheming because Bruno told Walter what Roberto heard and if Roberto heard it must have been common knowledge, but yeah he definitely said Brass Horse bit." Nowadays we use the Inter-Twitter-Gram to broadcast our news, but I liked the idea of a radio station dedicated to shoe news to make my announcements so for SS13, RADIO SCARPE it is !!
As a Mr. Hare shoe collection, RADIO SCARPE is our lightest and brightest yet. I wanted to make super comfortable summer shoes from very soft natural feel leathers that would keep feet comfortable in the blazing hot sunshine. The problem was those leathers usually look very veggie like, a bit rustic, even wholemeal. But as I was transmitting live on RADIO SCARPE !! I wanted super bright lively colours and metallics. Super Silvers, Cosmic Cobalts, Alien Greens and Infinite Turquoises.
I found what I was looking for in the form of laminated grainy calf; cashmere split goatskins, soft box and deep vegetopoli skins. These genius Santa Croce leather creations gave me the intergalactic colours and finishes I was looking for with a level of comfort even Mr. Hare has never reached before.
RADIO SCARPE has also emitted three new high summer styles. The CHE is our new classic summer casual loafer with a soft fold down back of contrast silver. The ARNO is the softest unlined split skin espadrille, which is light enough to keep you elegant even in the most sweltering heat wave. And finally the SANDAL is a manly leather strap sandal with a hard leather sole and EVA sprung heel insert. Stores have been allowed to custom configure the colour combinations on their SANDAL orders.
The rest of our Mr. Hare Summer Classics including MILLER, BERNARD, MAILER, KING TUBBY, THELONIUS, SERGIO, VONNEGUT and VONNEGUT HI have all been zapped with RADIO SCARPE waves and don all the same new zinging colours and post modernist sole and heel constructions. To quote Jonathan Richman "I'm in love with the modern world - I've got my radio on" !!

Milyn Jensen, the woman who claims to have hooked up with Justin while he was still with Selena in 2012, now claims that she also has a few regrets.
Justin Bieber's ex-lover Milyn "Mimi" Jensen is speaking out yet again, although this time she sounds surprisingly repentant about all the drama she caused the Biebs and Selena Gomez when she told Star her relationship-shattering secrets in January 2013.
Milyn Jensen: Apologizing For Breaking Up Justin Bieber & Selena Gomez?
Milyn says she is stunned to be the reason Justin and Selena split up in a new interview with The Sun. "I was absolutely shocked when I read he had split up with her over what we did," Milyn, who is appearing on the upcoming season of Bad Girls Club, says. "I hate being the girl that broke them up."
Milyn sparked a huge controversy in January when she told Star that she and Justin hooked up in December 2012, while he and Selena were still together. "He was really kind and romantic," the 22-year-old former nursing student said at the time. Justin "acted like he was [single]," she added.
That was enough to stop any ideas Justin and Selena might have had about reuniting, and the two have been on and off (but mostly off) ever since.
Milyn Jensen: 'I'm On Team Selena!'
But now Milyn sounds like she's sorry about exposing Justin's alleged cheating ways — and she's also 100% on Selena's side!
In an exclusive interview with HollywoodLife.com, the Bad Girls Club star told us, "I'm a huge Selena fan and I'm on Team Selena! She is gorgeous! Anyone comparing me to her would be a compliment. I've gotten a few based on saying we look alike with our dark hair and skin!"
We're not totally positive that Selena wants Justin's alleged former mistress on her "team," but it is interesting to see that Milyn has switched sides so fervently. A little more than six months ago she seemed hell-bent on breaking Justin and Selena up — now she apparently just wants everybody to be friends.
What do you think about what she has to say, HollywoodLifers? Let us know!

Why are you putting all the blame on her? If Justin Bieber came up to you, tried to get with you, and convinced you he was single, y'all would be climbing on him like a tree. Yes, she doesn't have the best reputation, and selling the story probably isn't the best idea. But Justin is ultimately the villain here.

To be honest with you, I don't like Milyn..She is nothing but a LOSER and a MEGA DOUCHE. She needs to quit being the way that she is. She even said on the Bgc that she hooked up with a Kardasian and crap and she basically told the whole world that she hooks up with all of her friends friends!!! Ha! You best believe she is a Slutbooty for sure..
Posted at 6:38 AM on August 17, 2013
The fact that she says on BGC that she can't confirm or deny these allegations just shows she is looking for attention. Honestly why would Justin hook up with a 25 year old who is bisexual. And when he is around his team 24/7… And then she is like the media says 'Justin Biebers black girlfriend' bush you ain't his girlfriend. Get over yourself and stop trying to ruin a career and a relationship. Now I know that it could have happened but c'mon…

Some time have passed between the release of this DVD and when I finally had a pleasure to watch it. First I didn't have a chance to buy it and when I finally did, my home cinema system has broken, so it's November 2011, when "Live Death Doom" destroys my building finally. And trust me, it does destroy totally. From the start to its end "Live Death Doom" delivers a blasting death metal feast.
Quick look on the cover - reminding me the artwork from "Crush the Cenotaph" MLP - and the feast begins. The whole DVD has three chapters and the first one is titled "Live". Well, you don't need to be smart to know what it includes. Yes, it's a live recording from the gig in Essen, when the release party of "Death... the Brutal Way" LP took place. Man, I absolutely love that album and in my opinion it's the best one in whole Asphyx career, so it's great to listen to some of the songs from it in live versions. But the whole show is perfect. The sound on it is just AWESOME, so damn brutal and full of energy that it really can blow out your speakers. I especially love the sound of guitar, which is more than excellent, and so is the way Paul plays all his parts. But well, the performance of each Asphyx members is absolutely top notch, they slash with best possible precision and professionalism, playing all the songs perfectly, but not forgetting about making the show, by banging the heads and interacting with the audience, who by the way react like crazy maniacs should (I may only not like those stage dives, which are so often, I never liked them on gigs... I don't pay to watch some fat asses jerking on the stage, but to watch and listen to the band!). Anyway, the interaction between the band and the fans is great here, you can see that everyone had so much fun and the maniacs not only have lots of respect for Asphyx, but also love their music a lot. Of course not all songs that I like have been played but come on - the gig is already almost 2 hours long (although some of this time has been taken by Martin's long speeches, sadly they're in German, so I can't understand a thing). There no "Crush the Cenotaph" for instance, I also think that if you play the so called retrospective show, you should put at least one track from every record, sadly there's nothing from "God Cries" and just one track from "Asphyx", which is an instrumental "Abomination Echoes" - and let me say this song just sounds KILLER, such a fuckin headbanger that it's one of my favourite parts of the gig. Sadly such songs as "God Cries", "Initiation Into the Ossuary" or "'Til Death Do Us Apart" are not here. From the other hand there's lot of material from the newest record; one which I just love and that's definitely a cool thing. All in all, the gig is phenomenal and belongs to one of the very best live DVD's I've ever seen in my life. Just play it loud and let it break the walls of your house.
But moving forward, there's also some bonus live material in the "Doom" chapter. And this part disappointed me a little. I expected to hear / see some more archives; even if the sound was weak, but it's always great to watch some very old live recordings. Here is one amazing old recording, from Göppingen / Germany, April 1990 with Theo as bassist / vocalist and I think Tony Brookhuis on guitar... There're two songs from this gig and trust me, it sounds amazing. The sound and vision quality are superb and it would even make sense putting the whole gig here, really! It would be damn cool. These two songs are just crushing, very obscure and morbid death metal. Then there's "Mutilating Process" played in Germany in 1991 and basically that's all as for the old archives. Shame there's nothing from other gigs and times, especially from the mid 90's period. This section has also some songs from the reunion tour, which is OK, but it's basically the same thing as on the main live section of the disc. The only great thing here is when Asphyx plays "Ode To A Nameless Grave / Incarnation of Lust" and "Black Hole Storm", as we can see here the new bassist, Alwin Zuur, in action and he does play well and bangs his head as a maniac, so I have no problem with this mate, although it was a surprise for me, when I've heard that Wannes left Asphyx!
Finally the "Death" chapter. It's called "Hordes Of Disgust – Documentary" and that's something I always love to watch on DVDs and think it's necessary if the DVD was complete... Just like Dismember on "Live Blasphemies" DVD, At the Gates on "Purgatory Unleashed - Live at Wacken" or Behemoth on "Crush.Fukk.Create: Requiem for Generation Armageddon"... It was always a great thing to watch and hear the history of those bands from the mouths of the musicians involved, hear some interesting facts, see some archive photos or places they been rehearsing or playing. The same thing is here. There's a long story to tell and the Asphyx guys do tell it well, it's a low budget, but cool video, it even includes many words from Eric Daniels, which is great I think... So, yeah, many stories from the past, like that weird "Last One On Earth" recording session... It's definitely a great thing to watch!
Enough. Do I still need to recommend this DVD? Man, if you haven't seen it yet but think about buying at least one DVD to your collection, here's one for you. For me personally it is one of the three of very best DVD's I've ever watched. Abomination Echoes.

Life can sometimes take you to unexpected places. Just ask the Hackensaw Boys. The popular Charlottesville-based bluegrass band recently traveled to Kinderdijk, the Netherlands, where they launched their latest album titled For the Love of a Friend. It was the second time in one year the band passed through this small village, a UNESCO World Heritage Site famous for its beautiful countryside and historic windmills, and they were there with good reason.

The Hackensaw Boys rolled into Virginia Beach on April 6th to play a show at The Jewish Mother. I don't know if it was kosher, but it sure was tasty!

The following is a letter to the editor that was submitted to the Chicago Tribune in response to John Kass' column, "Introducing bike tolls and the Rahm-PASS," published on August 22. The letter was submitted by a coalition of local interests: AARP Illinois, Bickerdike Redevelopment Corporation, New Communities Program and Active Trans.
John Kass' column, "Introducing bike tolls and the Rahm-PASS" (8/22/2012), implies all Chicagoans who ride bikes are "elitist" "hipsters" only concerned about "carbon-footprintless pedaling" and not worthy of our city's investment. If Mr. Kass could get beyond his stereotypes, he would know that all kinds of Chicagoans ride bikes and want safer streets.
We are Chicago's children, sisters and grandmothers. We live on the north side, west side and south side. We are black, white and Hispanic. We speak English, Spanish and Polish. We are going to the grocery store, dropping by the park and visiting family. We are going to work as your teachers, your waiters and your IT professionals. We are poor, we are wealthy, we are middle class. We are also drivers. We pay gas taxes, sales taxes and property taxes that pay for roads. We write today because we share one thing in common: we ride bikes because it's healthy, affordable and convenient – and we want "complete streets" in our neighborhoods that safely accommodate everyone – people on foot, in cars, and, yes, on bikes.
According to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration survey, 24 percent of Midwesterners ride a bike at least once a week; and 71 percent of Americans would like to bicycle more, but fewer than half feel that their community is designed for making biking safe. Most Chicagoans avoid riding on city streets for fear of their safety. We need safer streets for biking in order to access jobs and basic services in our communities. Biking also provides a rare opportunity for healthy physical activity in our busy daily routines.
The 100 miles of protected bike lanes that Mayor Emanuel is adding will enable thousands more Chicagoans to get out of cars and onto bikes and, by giving bikes their own space, will make streets more orderly and safer for everyone. But 100 miles is less than two percent of our street network, and cars still get to use streets with protected bike lanes.
For about the same cost as just one mile of freeway, Chicago can build an entire city-wide network of protected bike lanes. This could provide safe and easy access to a healthy, affordable and convenient form of transportation that our neighborhoods need. It's a wise investment for Chicagoans and our neighborhoods.

Thank you, Active Trans, for your well-written, patient, and professional answers to the insanity coming out of the Tribune etc. It is your important work that will change our society to be more friendly to bicyclists and better for everyone.
Will and Juan: Kass' article is as unfunny, and moreover, as downright terrifying as Swift's original "Modest Proposal." It is unacceptable to publish this type of thing because many who are ignorant or already anti-bike will continue to engage irrational anti-bike thinking that will do much damage to cycling in Chicago and other cities, as well as the individual cyclists whose freedom and safety will be compromised.
What we need from our citizens and newspapers is powerful advocacy of those causes most beneficial to society. And we could do without the petty name calling: anyone who calls cyclists "pedaling One Percenters," "hipsters," "bike-ists," and refers to relatively inexpensive and highly important bike lanes as "government perks," should be neither listened to nor published.
My Kass was using, although ineffectively, the literary device known as SARCASM. You can untwist your panties now.
"Beware politicians bearing gifts."
That's the gist of Kass' article. It doesn't require much sleuthing to discover many of the niceties and beautification in recent years in Chicago were either used to fatten the pockets of crooked connections, had its true cost passed on to future generations, or both. We use fiscal shortfalls for our schools as justification for casinos. Medical clinics and public transportation services serving under-privileged neighborhoods are being discontinued.
Kass is simply saying tread carefully for what you wish because even the most noble of ideas can be corrupted. History proves that premise. I, for one, would love a more bicycle (and public transportation) friendly city. If the plan moves forward, however, let us be sure to scrutinize its execution and be prepared to be rigorously convey our contempt when it becomes obvious that select, connected parties are reaping financial windfalls from it. Let's also hope, by then, that it is not too late.
What's going on with the Chicago Tribune these days?! This is two anti-bike articles in a month, both displaying a terrifying explosion of ignorance and intolerance for the author's fellow Chicagoan who is just trying to live his or her life in a way that benefits the health of themselves, the city, and the planet.
Why does Chicago not begin with a tax on cars driving within the city, as London did years ago?!
Thanks for coming to the defense of people of all races and socio-economic backgrounds who bike in all parts of our city. That is the correct thing to do.
But Mr. Buhrke, knowing that your staff is monitoring the ChainLink Forum I would like to ask why threads like this one (http://goo.gl/zgk41) go without pushback from your or any of the other signatories on your open letter to Mr. Kass?
I wonder if his article was in response to the kind of over generalizations that you are accusing Mr. Kass of using. I will not repeat here some of the terms used to describe the West and South Sides of Chicago but suffice it to say that the only kind of response you could have to such a diatribe by one of the participants in this thread is that he is indeed an "elitist hipster".
I for one think it is high time that folks in the cycling advocacy community did a little policing of their own.
I agree with Will. Also, Kass actually said:
"Please don't misunderstand. I love our noble bike-ists. Anyone with a brain would applaud them for their carbon-footprintless pedaling."
That sounds pretty complimentary to me.
It dawned on me yesterday that Kass' commentary might have been laced with more than a little satire, and the target might have been more the city's revenue-generating schemes, rather than us chickens. I certainly hope so.
Lighten up, everybody.
Remember Mike Royko? He used to take occasional shots at some group or other just to generate hostile response letters. Then he'd generate a couple of days' columns responding to all the colorful letters.

VIDEO: Squirrels take over park in Mobile
POSTED: Sunday, January 19, 2014 - 11:00am
UPDATED: Sunday, January 19, 2014 - 11:04am
Tiffany McCall (WKRG/CNN) — Squirrels are over-running a park in downtown Mobile, Alabama.
There are hundreds of squirrels scurrying and scampering about, and if you have food.
So I got a bag of peanuts just to see how friendly these squirrels really are and as you can see, they are all over me. Jumping on my legs and eating the peanuts right out of my hands.
These squirrels aren't just waiting to be fed. They are taking the food.
"The squirrels are overwhelming and they're definitely not shy," said Mobile resident Nicole McCaffrey.
Nicole and her daughter visit the park a couple times a month.
While her daughter prefers to chase the squirrels, I found one couple making a pit stop to capture the moment.
"We are going to Florida for vacation. We stopped in specifically just for this purpose," said Mississippi resident Britt Langheld.
"Astonishing. Absolutely astonishing. It's intimidating at least a little bit," Langheld said.
It's important to note if you hand feed the squirrels, there's a chance you could get nipped.
My photographer was bitten, and so was I. the bite broke my skin and I was concerned.
But after consulting a vet, my fears were settled, a little.
"If you look them up online the potential diseases that they can carry are scary, but as a practical matter, no. About the worse you could expect is ringworm," explained John Bentley, of Bel-Air Veterinary Hospital.
Good news to know, if you plan on feeding these furry friends anytime soon.


text: I feel like such a fool... In my scripts, the first one that runs (for LFS-3.1) creates the directory structure for the new LFS partition and then copies all the files and scripts needed to install the system to $LFS/usr/src. The second script is what caused all my problems... it is the 'unpacker' script. It unpacks all the files from the lfs-packages-3.1.tar & lfs-bootscripts-3.1.tar to the $LFS/usr/src directory. Now since I know that some of the programs have to be re-install again in Chapter6, the script then creates the folder $LFS/usr/src/chapter6. Then the script copies the source trees that are needed again in Chapter6 too that chapter6 folder, and that was where I found my problem, thanks to this message: http://archive.linuxfromscratch.org/mail-archives/lfs-support/2002/03/0858.h tml The 'copying routine' in my script was using: cp -r And not: cp -a I've learned now that '-r' will not copy everything. Can someone tell me if, in the *NIX world, are directory/sub-directory structures referred to as 'archives'? Because the man page for 'cp' says '-a' means archive. That's it. I may be a newbie, but at least I didn't give up on this problem. It may have taken me 20+ installs over a 2 week period, but alas, I found my problem. I 'learned' something I guess.. I made scripts for LFS-3.2 and they are working happily along with LFS-3.1. :-) Curtis ----- Original Message ----- From: Curtis Haas To: lfs-support at linuxfromscratch.org Sent: Wednesday, March 13, 2002 9:57 AM Subject: Weird problems, compiling/making 3 month linux newbie here... LFS for 1 of those. LFS version: 3.1 Glibc version: 2.2.4 System: Intel P200MHz MMX 128M RAM Using the lfs-packages-3.1.tar from the site. Has anyone else besides me noticed having problems when, say a program fails to compile: You remove the source tree for that program. You re-extract the files for that program. The "new and fresh" source tree is put in the same location as the failed one. You re-issue the same exact commands that you did before, yet this time the program compiles and installs without error??? Here is what I have been playing around with. I have 2 directories setup. 'Un-Optimized' 'Optimized' Each of these folders contains "cheesy scripts" that I made to make the installation process of LFS go quicker so I don't have to keep running back to the machine 50 times or so. With this information being said, why would what happened up above happen? I would restart the script at the program it bombed on and would work fine, and all I did was remove/re-extract the source tree. At first I though it was the 'Optimized' "scripts" that was causing me grief, but after re-partitioning and setting up a new file system then using 'Un-Optimized' "scripts" it's doing the same thing. These are the programs, in order, that are causing me grief: (This is only in the Chapter6 programs) GCC Fileutils Grep Sh-utils Tar Textutils For some reason in the back of my mind, the chroot env is "sprinkling" the Host Distribution on my system with some saved settings or something. All these scripts are doing is just one installation of a program after another, all in order in the book. The "scripts" are basically text files with '#!/bin/sh' header.....don't laugh, I don't know programming :-( I am going to try the 'Un-Optimized' scripts again, after I reinstall my distribution, something might have gotten screwed up, but that doesn't explain what I said up above. In this January 2002 archive, this guy seems to have had the same problems I am having, but with just gcc... http://archive.linuxfromscratch.org/mail-archives/lfs-support/2002/01/0609.html I have screen shots of what the programs do. Sorry for not saving the original text output, but I don't think the output or the screen shots matter in my case. If any of you would like to take a look at my so called "scripts" I can attach them in a reply. 2 more questions: Why does the 'echo' command not like this symbol ' (apostrophe) And say I have a hint, how do I post it. It's for gdm (Gnome display manager) without having to installing all of gnome Thanks. Curtis -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

More modern culture and current attractions. The Pirates and Pens need a billionaire to buy those teams who doesnt really concern himself with the bottom line. The Steelers are in the NFL, plus the Rooney's are great business men, they are already a billion dollar business. The Pirates and Pens need a Mark Cuban type. One of my dreams is to continue to do well in business and in 20 years, buy the Pens. I might not be accepted into the good ole boy club in baseball, but I would love to own the Pens.
money isn't the problem for the Penguins, at least not any more. they have a new arena and a team stacked with stars (who are paid well).
i am not a Pirates fan (although i'd see them winning), but i do know the Indians run into the same problem year after year with having to let good players walk because of lack of money. if you could get a super rich billionaire to buy a team, you'd want it to be the Pirates because there is no salary cap. he could spend his money freely; with hockey, he'd be limited to what he could spend.

Johnny Depp and Amber Heard: See ya, Tokyo!
Making for a family affair, Johnny Depp and Amber Heard prepared to depart Tokyo, Japan on Thursday morning (July 18).
The Hollywood pair arrived at the Narita International Airport with Depp's kids Jack and Lily-Rose before boarding their flight.
In career news, the 50-year-old actor is feeling the rash realities of the business as his film "The Lone Ranger" continues to bomb in the box office.
The Hollywood Reporter estimates that it's set to lose $150 million for Disney, the studio behind the film.
"Outside of Jack Sparrow, he's not a huge box-office draw," says Jeff Bock, senior box-office analyst at Exhibitor Relations. "Everybody knows that if you just look at his box-office record. He's probably offered just about every role out there still because his name does carry weight, but he chooses to go that road-less-traveled path."

Apple's headache for local telcos
PUBLISHED: 26 Jul 2012 00:06:18 | UPDATED: 26 Jul 2012 09:39:08PUBLISHED: 26 Jul 2012 PRINT EDITION: 26 Jul 2012Comment
John McDuling
Apple's quarterly results have failed to live up to the hype on Wall Street, but the tech giant's dominance in smartphones remains a headache for Australia's mobile carriers.
Citigroup says Australia has the second-highest iPhone penetration rate in the world, behind only Switzerland, with about half the country's smartphone users opting for versions of the near ubiquitous Apple product.
The problem for telcos – not just in Australia, but globally – is that the wildly popular iPhone is much more expensive than rival devices. The average selling price of the iPhone declined to $US624 in the June quarter, but that is still roughly double that of its nearest rival – Samsung's Galaxy range.
Due to intense competition for customers, carriers generally subsidise iPhones, though these subsidies are becoming less generous as the costs of network upgrades and spectrum acquisition (needed so iPhones can operate properly) hit home. Telstra does not disclose how much it spends on iPhones but CEO David Thodey let slip at a lunch earlier this year that he thinks the telco pays "way too much for them".
Apple's quarterly shipments of 26 million iPhones were below consensus forecasts, but that arguably says more about undue analyst optimism than actual performance.
Many consumers are holding off on upgrading until the next iPhone model is released, which could be as early as September.
And even then, Apple still continues to capture the lion's share of smartphones that are actually sold.
The biggest telco in the US, AT&T, activated 3.7 million iPhones during the quarter – more than 70 per cent of its total smartphone sales in the period.

The group formed in 1942, in the middle of Second World War (Liberty was a buzz word at the time). Since then 'The Libs' have put on all kinds of stage plays. Occasionally they run drama workshops. The cast picture is from the 2002 production of 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'. It appears in the book 'The Spirit Of Rhyl' by Bill Ellis, published in 2004.
SAT 5th DEC 2009 UPDATE: A reader has been in touch to say that prior to the opening of present premises in 1895, the chapel had been the other side of Sisson Street on the site where now stands the little Apostolic Church. Thank you, Jim.
