Hey friends, a small plug for my friend Yvonne Bambrick's new book "The Urban Cycling Survival Guide" just out this month for purchase here. The book contains lots of great common sense advice for those new cyclists or those hungry to sharpen their skills on buying a bike, the rules of the road and basic maintenance, just to scratch the surface.
I'm quoted in it, but thought via this blog entry that this it is also an opportunity to offer some supplemental riding advice I've been handing out for two decades. (That is to those willing to listen.)
- When planning a bike commute, shortest does not always equal fastest or best, no matter what your map or app tells you. For example, I have three ways to get to work from my home in Jackson Heights to Canal Street in lower Manhattan (see my Streetfilm below). One is 11 miles (using Manhattan Bridge), one is 9.5 (using Williamsburg Bridge) and one is 8.5 miles (using QBB). Most would think to save time you'd choose the shortest over the QBB, but since the longer route hugs much of the Brooklyn coastline, it is usually quicker (far fewer traffic signals to stop for) and it is much safer (many protected bike lanes, more riders, fewer vehicles).
- Talk with fellow riders (and drivers) while stopped for lights. Most cyclists are talkative and fun to share a few words with. But drivers can be too - and it reminds them you are more than an object in the street, you're a real person. I've had some memorable exchanges over the years. Just a few months ago it was extremely cold and I was woefully underdressed riding a Citibike.. I let out a loud howl trying to stay warm as I pulled up next to a cab at a red light. The cabbie start laughing. He rolled down his window and we chatted. He kindly offered me a spare pair of gloves since I had none. He then said, "Vision Zero, baby!" A great spontaneous NYC moment.
- Don't be afraid to get a little lost. Once you get comfortable in a routine, if you have ample time try to change it up a little. I do this often on the journeys home as I near the end of summer knowing that the warmth is fading. I'll meander here or there to add a few miles and use roads I've never been on. Make an impromptu left here. Take a different crosstown route there. See that new pedestrian plaza in that neighborhood you're rarely in. I can't tell you how many discoveries and favorite spots I have stumbled upon at random. Or just watching the sunset from a new place.
- Go multi-modal (and multi-bike-modal!) Depending upon the season, I go thru many phases of how I'm feeling physically/mentally. I love bike commuting but I equally love walking and transit. For this reason it's always good to be a bike share member if your city has it. There have been plenty days where I am too tired or cranky to bike in. But once I get off the train at the office I wish I had ridden. No problem. I'll spend much of the day on a Citibike logging 10 or 20 miles running my errands, making meetings and filming whatever I see.
What would you add? What do you like to do to stay psyched?
On Tuesday, Streetsblog did a post of photos of the latest round of #sneckdown madness sweeping the nation. I posted one (above) of a sneckdown at end of my street in Jackson Heights, Queens, the corner of 34th Avenue & 85th Street. It was pretty typical of what intersections looked like that morning following the pseudo-Blizzard in my nabe.
It's now over 52 hours since the snow stopped falling so I went back and snapped some updates. Comparing the Tuesday and today photos there's really not much difference (except it's dirtier and wetter). We still have the SE corner (the turning corner) with essentially a ten foot snow extension from the curb. The closest tire track thru the snow is approximately 8 feet from the curb.
Some critics of the sneckdown phenomenon cite that it fails to take in to account larger vehicle turns. This is why it is important to use a little moxie in your documentation. If the sneckdown hangs around days after the initial snowfall, you'll have more anecdotal evidence the street is overbuilt. NYC has been largely back to normal for the better part of two days. There are still large piles of ice & snow calming traffic. The pace of cars is a bit slower. Good news for everyone except those who might want to drive more dangerously.
I've observed all kinds of vehicles easily make the turn on my block (which by the way could be considered more challenging since there's a median on 34th Avenue that makes the turn sharper - see photo.) I've seen SUVs, vans, long furniture delivery trucks, postal trucks and even a mini bus make the turn. Not a problem. (I admit I have not seen a firetruck to those who will naysay.)
Okay, yes, the sneckdown is not an absolute 1:1 ratio. But it's a conversation starter. It shows evidence where streets are seriously overbuilt and where modifications could help pedestrians. Of course I wouldn't advocate for 10 foot curb extensions on this block. Or even 8. But 5 or 6 feet is certainly a reality.
Finally, check out below the progression of what traffic calming does and the sneckdown simulates in this triptych. This parent starts crossing 34th Avenue with her child as the car waits patiently on 85th since they cannot make that turn so sharply. Then the car makes its turn. We can do this in so many places if we have the will and funds.
So get out there and document. And if you want more info on how to do it and inspire others, go to ioby right now where Streetfilms & Sneckdowns are featured in their 5 x 5 Getting Good Done in the Cold & Snow. Download the PDF for more #sneckdown tips. And keep posting on Twitter!
I am gonna keep this simple: are you having difficulty convincing your city/town about the merits of protected bike lanes? Streetfilms can help.
The above Streetfilm was put together back when then-New York City Commissioner Janette Sadik-Khan was under a full-on bikelash assault from the media. It was done to show that protected bike lanes on wide avenues can have a wide range of benefits. From pedestrians to transit riders.
That was nearly four years ago. All those lanes survived and now some of the earliest lanes installed in NYC are becoming greener and making the streets more wonderful. Just see for yourself.
One excerpt I posted from that original video that I have gotten positive feedback was the next video. I interviewed Gary Toth from Project for Public Spaces and we chatted about why you need to have a buffer. So many people have emailed or told me this little clip was very useful.
Finally, hopefully cities in the U.S. will have the courage to do protected bike lanes with true style and safety like Copenhagen and Amsterdam do. One way of encouraging that is to show one place in the U.S. that has done an amazing job. Like they've done along the Indianapolis Cultural Trail. Yes, this loop was expensive, but you could do them with a little less panache for far cheaper and still make them look good. I hope these Streetfilms help.
By now, fans of Streetfilms probably know about the explosion of the hashtag #sneckdown on Twitter earlier this year. Now we are slowly watching another phenomenon roll out and it is easy enough to contribute.
In what has to make the Green Lane Project team happy, when Streetfilms fans have been seeing freshly painted (or re-painted) protected bike lanes in that bright green color that looks closer to a famous muppet, they're using the tag #freshkermit. Here's a few recent examples. Keep an eye out in your city and tweet away!

#bikeNYC is always alive during October. It's a beautiful time to be out riding. It seems of late I've gone on a Streetfilms Shorties tear, which are essentially videos that only take a few hours of shooting & editing for me to publish. I don't spend a lot of time thinking about them and don't anticipate many thousands of plays, but smaller groups of watchers (especially in NYC) will appreciate.
First off, on Saturday got to go on a fun Queens "Zombie Ride" ride with Kidical Mass NYC! About 30 people turned out for their second official ride and they hope to continue the expanding with more rides. Check it out.

Yikes! We heard that Miley's character, flirty new girl in town Missi, was a love interest for Jake. But from the looks of this photo, she's got her eye on Walden (Ashton Kutcher). At least the always-modest Walden shields his bare chest with a pillow. Quick thinking, Walden.

Samaj Parivartan Samudaya (SPS) on Tuesday described the Supreme Court's recent direction to the Central Empowered Committee (CEC) to probe into allegations against Congress leader D.K. Shivakumar and nine major mining companies as "another milestone" in its legal battle against illegal mining in the State.
Addressing presspersons here, S.R. Hiremath, samudaya president, said that there was strong evidence to prove that Mr. Shivakumar used his influence over the former Chief Minister N. Dharam Singh in 2005 to get allotment of over 10.80 lakh tonnes of iron ore to eight companies, some of which were owned by his brother, D.K. Suresh, and his associates such as K. Ponnu Raj and himself (Mr. Shivakumar), he said.
Likening the alleged illegalities committed by Mr. Shivakumar with that of the Reddy brothers, Mr. Hiremath said: "While Gali Janardhan Reddy and his associates looted natural resources in the northern part of Karnataka with the alleged connivance of the administrative machinery, Mr. Shivakumar and his associates replicated it in southern part of the State."
Responding to Mr. Shivakumar's allegation that the samudaya's charge was politically motivated in view of the elections to the Legislative Assembly, Mr. Hiremath said that the samudaya's fight was against all those who have allegedly plundered natural resources "illegally and irregularly".

What a Beautiful Thought, Even When the Moment Is So Sad! [Quote 581]
Posted: Oct 06, 2014 | 4 months, 3 weeks ago.
A former neighbor passed away. A couple of years ago.
Got to learn about it only moments ago.
Wonderful people, both husband and wife. And great neighbors.
Good Christian people.
Mid-fifties. That is how old or young Doug was when he died. That was his name: Douglas.
Death comes to all: Muslim and non-Muslim. Good people and bad people.
Here is what his obituary said — then, two years ago:
"In lieu of flowers, please be kind to everyone you encounter,
forgive someone who has hurt you,
beg forgiveness from someone you have hurt,
or hug someone close and tell them you love them."
What can Muslims learn from this?
Does it remind them of anything someone may have taught them 1400 years ago: Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam?
And they may be a bit rusty on right now?
May God bless the survivors, keep them and be with them.
Islam Does Not Change [Quote 580]
Sep 23, 2014 | 5 months, 1 week ago.
What people need to understand is Islam and Islamic Work — Working for Allah that is — does not change. Or is it "do" not change?
Islam remains the same for ever and ever and ever.
How can it be otherwise, when it is a reflection and manifestation in the real world of the infinite and timeless attributes of Allah?
That is true of Islamic work — Working for Allah — as well, in some very important ways.
But here is the difference.
While Islam is directly from Allah (Good reason why it does not and cannot change, right?) Islamic Work (Working for Allah), on the other hand, is the application of Islam to human situations mediated by human beings and agencies in ever-changing space-time configurations.
This means those Working for Allah, or those engaged in Islamic Work as they say, must be constantly in touch with reality, and in tune with the changes taking place in the world, around them.
And they must continually monitor their work and its effectiveness, and its usefulness in relation to the goals they set out to achieve. And introduce the changes they must in their methods and approaches, based on the results of their evaluation of their work.
In a sense, this is the essence of Islam: setting goals; specifying methods; mobilizing resources; monitoring progress; ongoing evaluation.
Islam called it Ihtisaab. If Muslims by and large are oblivious of it or indifferent to it, who is to blame?
Work in Islam Is Worship — Again! [Quote 579]
Sep 10, 2014 | 5 months, 3 weeks ago.
I have said this before, and I am saying it again: Work in Islam is worship.
And it is Jihad.
That means those who are engaged in doing their daily duties — whatever work it is that they do — it is as if they are in Salaah.
They are face to face with Allah. And Allah is watching over them. And Allah is also watching their every move, and reading their every thought, and monitoring the minutest movements of their eyes.
And if they are waiting for work to arrive, it is as if they are in a mosque waiting for Salaah to begin.
And in Islam those who wait for Salaah to start, their position is the same, and their reward is the same, as those who are actually engaged in the performance of the Salaah.
So, if they are pure and honest in their motives and intentions, and diligent and thorough and conscientious in the work that they do, their reward is Paradise and not merely worldly success in the work that they do.
That is how amazing this system of Islam is: You do your own work and you get Paradise in return for it, in addition to your own usual reward in this world, provided your intentions are good and your effort is the very best you could, make it.
Islam Means Playing to Win [Quote 578]
Sep 10, 2014 | 5 months, 3 weeks ago.
If you are a Muslim, you must always Play to Win.
And win fair and square, following all the accepted rules and norms.
Not participating in the Game of Life is not an option for you, if you are a Muslim.
Nor can you, as a Muslim, cheat and deceive and cut corners.
Nor can you Play Life halfheartedly or haphazardly. You must always enter and Do Life with full gusto, vigor and interest.
And your object must always be to win.
Of course, in every game, including the Game of Life, winning and losing comes directly from Allah, no matter how perfectly predictable or unpredictable a situation may be. But giving every moment, and every single Play of Life, your best is your obligation as a Muslim.
So, always bear this mind:
As a Muslim, you cannot sit on the sidelines when the Game of Life is being played all around you.
Nor can you, as a Muslim, enter the Game of Life with an attitude of indifference and lethargy.
So, go Play Life with full vigor, and expect to win. What comes out at the end is not in your hands.
Nothing ever was. And nothing ever will be.
But don't let that get to you. For, nothing is in anyone else's hand either. And your opponents in the great big Game of Life are just as helpless as you are. For, nothing is in their hand, just as nothing is in your hand.
Everything is in God's hands. And it will always be.
And it is always he who decides who will win and who will lose.
So, as a Muslim, you have absolutely nothing to lose.
So, go play hard and Play to Win.
Consistency and Persistence:
That Is What Islam Is All About [Quote 577]
Sep 04, 2014 | 5 months, 4 weeks ago.
Allah bless those who are doing the rounds of universities, schools and markets talking to people about Islam.
And handing them literature on Islam.
These good folks should bear one simple point in mind: Consistency and persistence are key requirements of Islam.
The key features of Islam are not so much innovation and creativity, even though they are, as endurance and predictability.
Islam is not a flash-in-the-pan operation. It is not a one-shot deal. Islam is a lifelong commitment and dedication to certain carefully considered values, beliefs, goals and practices.
So, the true test of the success of this new Operation Outreach is that people should say — after 50 years from today:
"Where is the man — or was it a woman? — who used to stand under that tree and give out pamphlets on Islam?
Haven't seen them in a while.
Are they all right, do you think?"
Beginning Islam, Preaching Islam [Quote 576]
Sep 01, 2014 | 6 months ago.
Blessed are those who go to street corners and university and school campuses, and public and market places, and preach Islam to people and distribute Islamic literature.
For, they are doing God's Work on earth.
They are Working for Allah.
They must rejoice in the knowledge that, no matter how strange this may sound, this is the beginning of Islam. In their life; and where they are.
Yet another one.
This is yet another beginning of the endless chain of the Message to Humanity from God Almighty.
The only test — did I say "only" test? — of these wonderful individuals and groups, male and female, will be how long they keep this up: Going out and hustling on the streets for Allah and preaching Islam.
And, also, how pure and true their motives and intentions are — and will be.
And, oh yes, also of course, how sweet and wonderful their demeanor is going to be and how absolutely charming and alluring their approach will be throughout.
Allah says:
Wa Yadra-oona Bil-Hasanatis Sayyi-ah.
"They cope with Evil using Good."
"They return Evil with Good."
"They reward Evil with Good."
I don't to this day understand what that means — or how it works. But since Allah says it, I know it must be right.
So, these people, hustling in the streets — universities, schools, markets and all kinds of other places — have their work cut out for them:
" When people are bad to them, they must be good to people."
That alone is an experience worth having in life.
Everyone: Come on; take a chance; go out on the streets and try your hand at preaching Islam to people; you may even come to like it.
And who knows what kind of reward God Almighty may have in store for you, right here in this world, as well as in the next world.
How Good People May Do Bad Things [Quote 575]
Aug 28, 2014 | 6 months ago.
People — often Good People — do Bad Things in all kinds of Bad Ways.
Sometimes, good people do bad things just by doing them.
Sometimes, they do bad things by not doing the good things they must be doing.
Sometimes, they do bad things by saying or speaking — using all forms, tools and techniques of communication — bad things.
Sometimes, they do bad things by not speaking or saying the good things they must be saying.
Check this out:
Man Sakata An Haqqin Fa-Huwa Shaitaanun Akhras.
And check this out in the Qur'an:
Kaanoo Laa Yatanaahuuna An Munkarin Fa'aloohu.
Let me give here just one example that I never use.
The whole world condemned the most disproportionate use of force the most powerful state of Israel used recently to perpetrate some of the most terrible atrocities on the tiny Gaza Strip most densely populated with children and women and in the process killing countless children and women and civilians.
And now go and make a list of all those Muslim governments, rulers, countries, leaders, organizations and others who did anything to stop that.
And those who said anything to stop or condemn that.
And those from whom not a squeak or a peep was heard.
Then ask if they are some of the people in this world — Muslims — who are in Bed with the Devil.
So, that is how some people do bad things:
through action and inaction;
through speech and communication; and
through equally wicked, evil, culpable, criminal silence in the face of injustice, oppression and some of the most terrible wrongs and atrocities known to man.
Aug 28, 2014 | 6 months ago.
There is no such thing as "Armchair Islam."
So, as a result, there cannot be people who want to spend their life as "Armchair Muslims."
Islam is "hustling." Period.
Islam is "hustling" in the Streets.
Islam is camping out on Street Corners — looking for people to talk to; to invite to Allah; and to do good unto.
All kinds of people: Hindus; Muslims; Jews; Christians; Atheists; Believers; non-Believers; and all others.
Islam is not armchair reading of the Qur'an and Rolling of the Rosaries.
Even though there is no activity on this earth more glorious than the Reading of the Reading: the Noble Qur'an.
And the learning and teaching of the Qur'an.
Khayirukum Man Ta'allamal Qur'ana wa Allamahu!
And even though Dhikr of Allah — Chanting of Allah's Most Glorious Name: Rolling the Rosary Beads – is bigger and better than anything else.
Wa La-Dhikrullahi Akbar!
Yet, when all is said and done as they say, Islam is "Hustling" in Streets — for Allah and for Allah's creation.
Islam is "Hustling in the Streets" looking for all kinds of ways to serve Allah and his creation better.
To make the life of the people on earth better.
To make a difference in the life of the people — a positive and most wonderful difference — in the life of everyone everywhere.
And to better and improve the life of all other creation of God in this world.
That is Islam in a nutshell.
And that is what we call Working for Allah.
Hijrat and Ghurbat in a Believer's Life [Quote 573]
Aug 28, 2014 | 6 months ago.
A Believer's life is one of perpetual Hijrat – constant movement and non-stop walking away and running to.
Leaving the world behind as it were.
A Believer is constantly walking away from bad things and moving toward good things.
And his life is one of non-stop running to Allah — and away from all else.
As the Qur'an says:
Fa-Firroo Ilallah!
Innee Dhaahibun Ilaa Rabbee.
And a Believer's life is one of Ghurbat – loneliness; being and feeling alone; unrecognized; unappreciated; and being a stranger in his own land, and among his own friends and in the midst of the most robust and vibrant company.
Blessed be the one who blessed the Strangers, Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam, and said:
Fa-Toobaa Lil-Ghurabaa!
And yet a Believer finds solace, comfort and joy in the company of Believers and of Good People and of what ancient Christians — even some Muslims — used to call the Righteous.
When Things Appear to Be Going Well [Quote 572]
Aug 28, 2014 | 6 months ago.
Challenges in the life of those Working for Allah are normal and to be expected.
These things are just as they are supposed to be. Perfectly understandable — and natural.
Those Working for Allah must start worrying, not when they are facing challenges, but when things appear to be going just "too, too well" and perfectly.
And they have no challenges to deal with.
A-Hasibannaasu An-Yutrakoo An-Yaqooloo Aamanna wa Hum Laa Yuftanoon.
Doing Good — Randomly! [Quote 571]
Aug 27, 2014 | 6 months, 1 week ago.
Muslims are good people. They like to do good things.
And they also tell each other to do good things.
But that is where sometimes the catch is: "What are the good things that Muslims must do?"
And all of us must do?
We are talking outside all the compulsory duties of course — the Faraa-id.
And outside all that Muslims know to be strong Sunnah.
So, the question is, in matters which involve neither direct Fard, nor strong Sunnah, what kind of good things should Muslims do?
A rude fellow like me will say:
"Trust your judgment."
"And your common sense."
"And your past experience."
"Do some cost-benefit analysis like smart people."
"See which investment is likely to produce the best and highest returns on your time, money and effort."
Better people than me, which is practically everyone else on this planet, will say:
"Hey, why don't you check out this Hadith Sharif? The one which says:
Al-Mu'minu … Kayyisun, Fatin.
Meaning, roughly, a believer is a sharp, smart operative. He or she does not get bitten from the same hole over and over again.
Laa Yuldaghul Mu'minu Min Juhrin Waahidin Marratayin.
Aug 27, 2014 | 6 months, 1 week ago.
There is a most beautiful Hadith of Sayyidina Muhammad, Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam.
And all Hadith of Sayyidina Muhammad, Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam, are beautiful.
That most beautiful Hadith goes like this, I think:
Al Mu'minu Mir-aatul Mu'min!
A believer to a believer is a mirror. Not "like" a mirror. But a mirror.
"The mirror," in fact.
"A believer is a believer's mirror."
Believers reflect each other in this common mirror from God.
What one thinks, the other does too. What one says, the other echoes.
And some of us have just been shown that to be true. Right here, right in our own life.
Right at this moment.
To the point of spontaneously crying out:
Sadaqa Rasulullahi, Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallama.
"Muhammad, Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam, did indeed speak the truth."
What a blessing, Mashallah and alhamdulillah!
It is one thing to know a particular Hadith to have strong Sanad – chain of narration.
It is one thing to understand a given Hadith to have unimpeachable credentials.
But then to watch that Hadith suddenly spring to its feet, and come alive right in front of your eyes, who can ever put that experience in words?
A News Item to Remember from Egypt's Pro-Democracy Movement
On the night of August 3rd 2013, 300,000 (three hundred thousand) Lovers of Democracy and Freedom at Raabi'a 'Adawiyyah in Egypt, while facing military and police bullets unarmed and with their bare chests, did 10,000 (ten thousand) Khatm of the Qur'an – finished reading the Qur'an cover to cover 10,000 times.

Loose Woman (eBook)
Loose Woman (eBook)
With her novel THE HOUSE ON MANGO STREET, Sandra Cisneros introduced one of the most lyrically inventive voices ever to emerge from the barrio. Now she gives us a book of poems with the lilt of NORTEÑO music and the romantic abandon of a hot Saturday night. Celebrating the cataclysms of love and mapping the faultlines in the Mexican-American psyche, LOOSE WOMAN is by turns bawdy and introspective, flagrantly erotic and unabashedly funny, a work that is both a tour de force and a triumphant outpouring of pure soul.

Quick, someone get Steven Spielberg on the phone. Kevin Smith has an idea for a new "Jaws" movie.
Smith is already planning to produce a sort of "Jaws" remake himself. "As close as I can get without being sued, of course, by Universal," he's quick to add, as he describes "Moose Jaws," which, as you can probably guess, features a man-eating moose in place of a shark. But he would also be "fired up" to see an all-new "Jaws" film from the man who invented the modern-day blockbuster in the summer of 1975. Read More »

Its hot , dry, and beautiful in Taos; but we've followed you once again on the RMI Blogs and cannot quite believe the number of climbers you have to contend with!!

Time to crack down on chicken abuse
Few feathers fly when scientists announce new discoveries regarding the intelligence of animals and how our underestimation of their mental faculties couldn't be more outdated.
While terms like "bird-brained" have become part of our lexicon, it now seems that being compared to birds should be considered a compliment.
Unfortunately, even with our newfound respect for avian intelligence, we have yet to translate that recognition of animal cognition into the most elemental legal protections for the bird we use most intensively for commercial purposes: the domesticated chicken.
With nearly 9 billion raised for food each year in the US, chickens are the most numerous birds on the face of the planet. And they're undoubtedly the most abused.
Chickens are virtually always raised in industrial confinement operations, and the birds are treated at slaughterhouses as if their suffering hardly mattered.
A 2003 New York Times article paraphrased avian expert Chris Evans's assessment of chickens' faculties:
"Chickens exist in stable social groups. They can recognize each other by their facial features. They have 24 distinct cries that communicate a wealth of information to one other, including separate alarm calls depending on whether a predator is traveling by land or sea. They are good at solving problems."
"As a trick at conferences," the article quoted Dr. Evans as saying, "I sometimes list these attributes, without mentioning chickens, and people think I'm talking about monkeys."
Among the chickens who face the most abusive conditions are egg-laying hens - the national flock size is roughly 300 million birds. They are typically housed in battery cages that don't allow the animals enough space even to spread their wings. With no opportunity to engage in many of their natural behaviors, including nesting, dust bathing, perching, and foraging, these birds endure lives of daily frustration and suffering.

Hot newsBuzz March 6, 2015Sandra Bullock goes 'Gangnam Style'Pets February 28, 2015Sandra Bullock's Dog Recovering from SurgeryNews of actress Sandra Bullock's death spread quickly earlier this week causing concern among fans across the world. However the March 2015 report has now been confirmed as a complete hoax and just the latest in a string of fake celebrity death reports. Thankfully, the actress best known for her roles in The Proposal, Crash, Miss Congeniality or Speed is alive and well.UPDATE 06/03/2015 : This story seems to be false. (read more)Sandra Bullock death hoax spreads on FacebookRumors of the actress's alleged demise gained traction on Wednesday after a 'R.I.P. Sandra Bullock' Facebook page attracted nearly one million of 'likes'.

Some pointed out that the news had not been carried on any major American network, indicating that it was a fake report, as the death of an actress of Sandra Bullock's stature would be major news across networks.A recent poll conducted for the Celebrity Post shows that a large majority (72%) of respondents think those Sandra Bullock death rumors are not funny anymore.Sandra Bullock Death Hoax Dismissed Since Actress Is 'Alive And Well'On Thursday (March 05) the actress' reps officially confirmed that Sandra Bullock is not dead. "She joins the long list of celebrities who have been victimized by this hoax. She's still alive and well, stop believing what you see on the Internet," they said.Some fans have expressed anger at the fake report saying it was reckless, distressing and hurtful to fans of the much loved actress.

The facts: The Arizona Cardinals fell to 4-2 with a 19-16 home defeat to the Buffalo Bills in Week 6.
The upside: Even the worst defeats tend to feature a bright spot or two.
The upside: Even the worst defeats tend to feature a bright spot or two.
- The Cardinals had 30 rushes for 182 yards, a huge improvement from the first five games. William Powell carried 13 times for 70 yards.
- Larry Fitzgerald caught six passes for 93 yards and a touchdown. He joined Randy Moss as the only players to reach 10,000 yards receiving before age 30.
- Cornerback Patrick Peterson picked off a pass in the final minutes of regulation, when the team needed to rally.
- Jay Feely set a career best with a 61-yard field goal to help force overtime. The kick was 5 yards longer than any other Feely has made.
- Dave Zastudil had a 41.8-yard net average on five punts.
- Rookie Michael Floyd had a 24-yard reception.
- O'Brien Schofield collected two sacks and two quarterback hits. That gives him four for the season, nearly matching his 4.5-sack total from last season.
- Daryl Washington finished with 14 tackles, one for a loss.
- The Cardinals allowed only 19 points. They have allowed 21 points or fewer in every game this season. The Cardinals are the only team that can make that claim after Seattle gave up 23 points to New England.

http://vindicator.rchomepage.com/Dandy/index.htm and Vids: http://www.JustGoFly.com/Vids/ 1. Keep Dyhedral - get GT wing for $20 when you're ready for it. 2. 3S gives almost double the thrust. 2S is not much more powerful than a 350C brush motor. So either stay brushed with 2S or go 3S and brushless. 3. I re-enforced some, as you'll see in build thread. It doesn't really need it except for maybe the landing gear, as previously stated. Since I tend to re-enforce everything I fly, maybe 1/8 CF tube replacement for the wooden one in the lead edge of the wing. Enjoy, my Dandy Sport is alot of fun. I have the GT wing on the bench, and look forward to running it and learning knife edge and some other acrobatics. You can fly the Sport inverted pretty easily - especially on brushless. The plane freaks me out when I switch from a pylon racer or a wing. It just seems to go from speed to zero in mid air and never stalls. OK - well maybe between 0 and 1 mph it could stall But is the easiest plane to land of anything I've flown and flys right where you point it. Get CG right ! You may need to slip your LiPo's in the front compartment to balance the plane. If you get this right - it will fly like a dream. Oh - and add lights before covering. Vinnie |
Oct 12, 2004, 02:16 PM | ||
Yea I think I will resolder my 2 cells Lipos (to 3 cells) and get two brushless systems one for e-starter and one for the dandy. As I said I want to climb vertically with ease |
Oct 12, 2004, 04:22 PM | |
My dandy sport flew well on the 350c D gearing with 11X8 prop. this was on a 2s 1500 lipo too! flew great in the wind. Doesnt make much headway in 15 mph winds though the AXI 2212-26 would be better with 2s li-pos and yes they are direct drive but I would save up for a 2212-34 as it works great with 3s li-pos.
Oct 13, 2004, 06:28 AM | |
Ok, not sure if we'r going with himaxx 2025-4200 or an AXI engine.. I think the price will be the factor. But I belive we will go with 3 cells.
Trying to figure out which prop and gearing to go with using motocalc... And I don't really understand that program. My prop seems to be stalling all the time :P |

The woman had been complaining of a rapidly expanding midsection, but was otherwise healthy. When surgeons opened her up they discovered – well. Let's just call it pure, gooey nightmare fuel.

The random winning numbers on lottery tickets aren't exactly random at all.
Mohan Srivastava is the man who figured out how to beat a scratch lottery game — and he didn't even profit from it.
Srivastava, who was featured in this month's Wired magazine, is a geological statistician by trade and is naturally adept at analyzing numbers and realizing patterns. His day job involves scoping out potential gold mines and determining the how much gold they might contain.
Cracking the lottery wasn't all that different. Srivastava, using the same math, was able to predict winning tickets for a Canadian Tic-Tac-Toe scratch lottery game 9 out of 10 times. The method is surprisingly simple but his road to discovery involved a bit of chance.
Holding degrees from MIT and Stanford, Srivastava was never drawn to the allure of the lottery — given the inherent propensity to lose long term.… Read the rest
The truth is out. We are living in a time when a shocking four out of 5 U.S. adults will struggle with joblessness or poverty. This revelation not only flies directly in the face of another drop in unemployment, but reconfirms what many of us had already known, we're in trouble.
If you find yourself looking for a job, you're in an over-crowded market where the young and educated are relegated to jobs well below their intellectual station. This is due in part to the heavy competition at the of the top of the job market among the highly-skilled. Basically, those left out of the jobs they really want are knocked down a peg, creating what Economist Paul Beaudry calls "cascading." The top pushes down on the middle and the middle pushes down on the bottom, burying those who are most vulnerable and under-qualified.
This phenomenon stems from what's been deemed "The Great Reversal." That is, there used to be an over-abundance of high-paying jobs that required skill, intellectual capital and education, but now there just aren't. In fact, demand for those types of jobs peaked all the way back in the year 2000. That's right, even with all this talk of a "skills gap," the need for high-skill jobs actually stopped growing 13 years ago.… Read the rest
Don't like AC/DC? Don't like bagpipes? Too bad. He'll burn your ass to a crisp.
Finally, the vegan black metal demographic has its own Rachel Ray… or maybe I should say their own Paula Deen: She sure can't do much to make herself look worse at this point.
As the world feverishly decodes clues the Illuminated Ones left us on Superbowl Sunday, one cannot help but think there is a bit of context missing from the conversation. Certainly duality was a major theme. And when you think of duality in the context of one of the WORLD'S most indulgent capitalist pageants you can't help but think of porn! Clearly the Illuminati are sexual creatures as evident in pop culture and their rituals. But what is their end game? World domination cannot sustain itself—too many variables to contend with. If the Illuminati are half as smart as they're made out to be they would already know this.
Clearly a major paradigm shift is coming where the roles of society are turned inside out, "flipped", as it were. We look behind the curtain and find not an old white guy but a mirror. Some would rather smash the mirror than go inside, but like a liquid metal terminator, the mirror i always reverts back to its original form and we are faced with only ourselves when we confront authority.… Read the rest
The cynical among you might observe that there's also a practical similarity between Aspiration Therapy and a certain, much older technique, one well known to ballerinas, runway models, and Roman senators. But Aspire is quick to point out that this new technique has significant advantages over sticking one's finger down one's throat. For one thing, patients are meant to practice Aspiration Therapy only under the supervision of their doctors, who will monitor their electrolyte and metabolite levels and administer supplements as necessary. Furthermore, vomiting causes stomach acids to enter the mouth and esophagus, which can cause long-term damage over time. The Skin-Port presents no such risks. Moreover, Aspire says, people who habitually vomit after meals are often bulimics, while candidates for Aspiration Therapy are just obese people who want to lose weight. "There is little overlap between people with bulimia and obesity," the company says, adding that patients will be screened for bulimia and other psychological disorders to determine their eligibility for the treatment. Aspire says patients should be able to bathe, swim, and conduct most other activities normally with the Skin-Port installed. And if you want to back out, or if you've managed to wean yourself off the therapy, the A-Tube can be removed in a 15-minute procedure under conscious sedation.What do you think about this technology? Is it responsible to peddle a device which essentially mimics the function of a dangerous eating disorder, or are the differences significant enough to justify marketing it to people who may otherwise opt for more invasive surgical measures?

President Obama's misguided approach on Iran
Re: "The fatal flaw in the Iran deal," Feb. 27 Charles Krauthammer column.
Kudos to Charles Krauthammer for his perceptive analysis. President Obama's plan to contain and deter Iran's march toward a deadly nuclear program is misguided and potentially dangerous.
With the Soviet Union missile crisis in the '60s, the United States was dealing with a Marxist-Leninist regime that was never a staunch believer in the virtues of martyrdom. By contrast, Iran's Shi'ism is based upon suffering and martyrdom going back to the murder of Imam Husayn in the seventh century. More recently, in Iran's war with Iraq, Tehran sent child soldiers, as young as 10, to clear out Iraqi minefields.
With this mindset, Iran's nuclear aim is far from pragmatic, but rather that of a regime that has little to fear from external pressures. The latest deal with Iran does nothing but buy time for Iran as it inches toward a bomb that endangers not only Israel but all of the Middle East.
Krauthammer is right: Keep the pressure (what little good it might do) and keep the sanctions.

Facts About Silk Fabric
Chinese history credits the invention of silk fabric to Yuen Fei, the concubine of an Emperor who ruled in 2,600 B.C. Legend has it she dropped a cocoon into hot tea and it unraveled. She, by reason of the discovery, has been deified and is worshipped as the goddess of silk worms.
Tusah silk is produced by silkworms that feed on oak leaves.
Silk dupioni is produced from 2 silkworms that spin a cocoon together, thus making a strong double-thread silk. Dupioni silk is currently enjoying great popularity.
The finest quality silk is made by mulberry silk moth, Bombyx mori, which, of course, feeds on mulberry leaves.
The average cocoon contains 300-400 meters of silk.
It takes about 5500 silkworms to produce 1 kg (2.2lb) of raw silk!
One ounce of eggs produces about 20,000 worms, which consume a ton of mulberry leaves during their lifetime.
Silk has been unearthed in the Qianshanyang Village of Huzhou in Zhejiang (China) and has been estimated to have been produced 4700 years ago!
The term SHANTUNG (A heavy wild-silk fabric with a rough surface) comes from the region of Shantung in China. The term ORGANDY (crisp cotton or silk fabric) comes from the town named Urgench (in present-day Uzbekistan in Central Asia). It was on the old silk route and was an early market for Chinese silk fabric.
Countries all over the world celebrate silk by issuing stamps in honor of sericulture (silk production).
Early aircraft design utilizing silk stretched over a lightweight skeleton. Strength, durability and weight were critical characteristics that made silk the best choice.
In the next few years, we might be filling our closets with smart shirts that can read our heart rate and breathing, and musical jackets with built in all-fabric keypads. The electronics and computer industries are developing wearable devices and computerized apparel, so that they are virtually invisible.
As with all clothes, computerized apparel starts with the proper thread. Silk fabric is ideal for computerized clothing because it is made with fibers that make it conducive to electricity. The first fiber is just an ordinary silk thread, but running in the opposite direction of the fiber is silk thread that is wrapped in a thin copper foil. It's this copper foil that gives silk fabric the ability to conduct electricity. Not only is this type of silk fabric a good electrical conductor, it's fiber's are spaced with the right amount of space, so that the fibers can be individually addressed.

Silk fabrics must be protected from the sun. Draperies should be lined and even interlining may be desirable. Window glass magnifies the destructive elements in the rays of the sun. The winter sun and reflection from the snow are even more harmful than the summer sun. Colors can fade by oxidation, "gas fading", if unaired in storage for a period of time. Impurities in the air may cause as much fading as the direct rays of the sun. Avoid storing silk fabric in a basement or attic near a furnace. Furnaces not only give off fumes but also pull fumes and impurities from other parts of the home.
Dupioni Silk (also spelled Duppioni) is produced by reeling silk fibers from two silk worms that have spun one cocoon together and usually produces a rough yarn. Therefore, irregularity in sheerness or weight, sometimes referred to as bands or shadings, is characteristic of dupioni silk fabric. Black specks which occasionally appear in dupioni silk fabric are part of the original cocoon of the silk worm. Removing them would not only weaken the fabric but destroy part of its beauty and character. These characteristics are inherent to dupioni silk fabric and should not be considered as defects in weaving.
Dupioni is often marked 'Dry Clean Only,' but it can be washed if you wash it before you cut it out. Dupioni silk fabric loses much of its stiffness when washed, and just a bit of its sheen, but it still looks great. It will shrink up to 14% - 5 inches (13 cm) per yard - when washed, but it is very difficult to wrinkle after that. And no dry cleaning bills!.

File and folder encryption using super-strong encryption algorithms. Lock files and entire folders using passwords, key-files or both (two factor authentication). Create and use encrypted vaults - simple 'on the fly' encryption!
Easily encrypt emails and email attachments. Recipients of encrypted emails do not even need QuickCrypto to decrypt the files (though they do need to know the password!). Integrates smoothly with existing email software.
Hide files on your system so only you can recover and use them. Also conceal sensitive data (text and files of any type) into innocent 'carrier' files: JPEG, GIF, BMP, MP3 and WAV. Easily blend encrypted files and messages into many other files.
Store passwords in encrypted password categories and generate real-random passwords with the secure password generator. Keep all online/offline passwords in one safe place and export these into portable encrypted archives.
Accidentally 'permanently' deleted a file? Often deleted files that that aren't securely shredded before deletion (e.g. those emptied from the recycle-bin) can be recovered from NTFS and FAT drives (this covers most systems).
Files that are deleted using Windows and normal software are not securely deleted. Secure file erasure is achieved with the included file shredder (DoD 5220.22-M compliant) to wipe and destroy files, folders beyond recovery.
Use QuickCrypto to inspect and remove PC system audit files, including recently accessed files, page files, flash cookies, temporary files. Inspect deleted files, including file names. Erase free space including 'slack space' on live files
Deleting internet browser history does not permanently remove traces. QuickCrypto can analyse 'index.dat' files, temporary internet files, IE, Chrome and Firefox cookie and history files and can permanently erase these if desired.
Encryption can require a password and a token created from any file on a removal USB drive. This ensures that decryption can only take place when a person both knows the password and also has the secure token/key file on a dongle or USB drive.
QuickCrypto employs the AES standard as described by FIPS PUB 197. The random number generator generates cryptographically secure random numbers to the strict NIST SP800-90 standard (FIPS PUB 140-2).
Over time PC systems acquire many temporary internet and installation files that are left behind serving little purpose. Some temporary files and deleted files can also betray confidential information. QuickCrypto can 'clean' and remove these digital remnants.
The CryptoExplorer ™ function provides a secure alternative to Windows ® Explorer and enables 'at a glance' knowledge of encrypted and QuickCrypto hidden files (not simple attribute hiding - files are removed from the standard files system and are not normally viewable).
'Brute force' password cracking (repeatedly trying millions of different passwords until the correct one is found) is the only method open to decrypting a file. QuickCrypto provides such a facility to enable you to check and test your chosen passwords.
QuickCrypto can monitor your system for potential security flaws that may compromise your cryptographic security. New start-up programs, spawned processes, installed programs, critical system files, scheduled tasks, file associations and more can be monitored.
We have developed our first lab with QuickCrypto and we've used it so far with several different groups of high schools. We have gotten nothing but RAVE reviews from the high school teachers. The kids really love your software.
"Your product is excellent."
"I am particularly enjoying its easy-to-use interface, as well as the wide variety of encryption features it has."
"I am very impressed with the program, which has recovered files allegedly shredded with [another product] over the past two years on my XP machine."
"I am testing this program for a large group of people who need just what this tool is providing."
"Employs the Advanced Encryption Standard"
"ARE YOU KIDDING! A great collection of encryption stuff, so easy to use compared to all the other downloads I've tried. Seriously, I just set it up as recommended and I was away. I'm so pleased I actually understand how to use this one ..."
"We thought it was great! The file encryption was the most straight-forward we've seen and very quick ... QuickCrypto indeed."
"Yours is the only one that is inexpensive that works fast."
"I found one that is free but I never got it to finish because it was taking so long that I would give up on it ..."
"Thank you very much indeed for persevering with contacting me and for your most generous offer."

So today i met someone interesting. She had a cup of latte while i had a cup of hot chocolate. This than lead to random conversation where we ended up talking about Facebook friends.
Story cut short, i saw a really obscene picture of herself and told her to take it down.
This is how the conversation went.
Le Me: Can you please don't post that picture up? It' really obscene.
Le Friend: Why not? I'm only showing a little bit of my skin.
Le Me: Dude! Your Nen Nen (Boobs) nearly fall out of your top can.
Le Friend: Why you so old fashion. Nobody cares ok. Haven't you heard? The deeper your cleavage is, the deeper your career. How do you think models get famous?
Le Me: *Speechless* What about self-respect?
Le Friend: Wtf. How has this got to do with self respect? I'm not sleeping around or anything.
So today i learn that :
"The deeper your cleavage is, the deeper your career is."
Than it got me thinking. How True is this statement?
I actually think she is right. Unfortunately majority of men out there have the one and only same weakness.
And that is Boobs. The bigger they are, the more attention men gives to them.
For example, I have a friend who loves sharing photos of herself where she expose her cleavage on Facebook and without fail, it always attracts more "likes" than any of her other normal photos . When i say normal i mean not much expose skin involve. Hence, it is obvious enough to say showing your cleavage to the world does attract attention and increase a person popularity. In a good way or not, I dont know.
However, another thing that has also come to my attention are models( not necessarily good looking) with big boobs tend to get MOST of the attention compared to another pretty model with only a size B cup perhaps.They tend to get more jobs and promotions. I have seen so many disgusting men commenting on models with huge boobs on how pretty/hot/fuckable they are and sadly no comments on models with an average chest size.
What has the world become. It is like any girl with a 32D chest and a 24 inch waist can get anything they want. Money from modelling/escorting, Cheeko guys (Mainly old and perverted) with loads of money and basically anything they want.
Imagine a B cup prostitute and a D cup prostitute waiting patiently together in the waiting room for customers. Both are equally good looking and skilled in bed. As a "hamsap" man who will you pick? Of course D la, more for your money's worth what.
So i do agree with the above statement but boobs are definitely not everything. It is definitely a CHEAP way of getting any form of attention but it does help in advancing a certain career. However, i always believe that raw talent is the one that keeps the attention going.
What are your thoughts on this? Do you agree or disagree?

Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles, California
Timely hitting and strong starting pitching put the Los Angeles Dodgers on top in the NL West, but they fell short in those areas to end their winning streak.
Following a brief stay atop the division, the Dodgers will try get back on track with Hyun-jin Ryu taking the mound Wednesday against the visiting Cleveland Indians.Trailing first-place San Francisco by 9 1/2 games on June 8, Los Angeles starters posted a 2.17 ERA during a 16-6 stretch that moved them ahead of the reeling Giants. The offense also played a role, hitting .308 with runners in scoring position.Josh Beckett, however, wasn't able to continue that success on the mound Tuesday, allowing five runs over five innings in a 10-3 loss that kept the Dodgers (48-38) from winning four straight for the first time in 2014.Though they went 5 for 13 with runners in scoring position, the Dodgers were 0 for 6 with the bases loaded over the first, second and fifth innings. They've gone 8 for 55 (.145) in bases-loaded situations on the season."We had plenty of chances to win the game," said slugger Matt Kemp, who struck out with the bases full in the second. "I mean, I can't strike out right there. I've got to at least put the ball in play and make something happen."Los Angeles fell into second place with San Francisco's win over St. Louis and now turns to Ryu (9-4, 3.12 ERA), who can reach double-digit wins for a second year in a row.The left-hander has allowed three earned runs or less in 12 of 15 starts, but has received two runs of support in his four defeats. He gave up three runs over seven innings in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Cardinals that snapped a three-start home winning streak.Ryu gets his first look at a Cleveland team that put up its highest run total since June 9 after getting held to one hit in back-to-back shutout losses. Yan Gomes and Nick Swisher each went 2 for 4 with two RBIs and Lonnie Chisenhall -- hitting .344 on the season -- homered as the Indians (40-43) evened this three-game set.David Murphy, who had been in a 1-for-44 slump, had three hits and two RBIs.The Indians will try to continue that production for Trevor Bauer (2-4, 4.39) after the right-hander received just three runs of support in his last two starts.Cleveland has dropped four of Bauer's last five outings. He allowed three runs and a season-high nine hits over 6 1/3 innings in Friday's 3-2 loss at Seattle. Bauer has particularly struggled on the road, going 0-3 with a 5.64 ERA in four starts."I don't really think I've done a good job myself," Bauer told MLB's official website. "That's what's most frustrating."In his only career start against the Dodgers, Bauer surrendered two hits over six innings in a 7-1 home win July 8, 2012.He'll likely have to deal with Adrian Gonzalez after the slugger hit his 14th home run Tuesday. Gonzalez is 5 for 11 in his last three games and batting .364 in his last 12 versus Cleveland.Dee Gordon has four three-hit games in his last seven, going 15 for 30 over that span.Hanley Ramirez, who served as a pinch-hitter Tuesday, has started once during the team's seven-game homestand due to a calf injury. He's expected to return to the lineup before the All-Star break.Copyright by STATS LLC and The Associated Press
