CrashHey guys..
So long story short I got back to Perth and went for a ride when a silly young girl with no indication turned in to me whilst riding. Had a big crash went to hospital, all muscles are buggered and broken elbow. My question is with my Look bike. The front wheel and hoods/shifters are buggered. The frame looks in tact however I'm afraid there could be internal fractures in the frame I might not be able to see. What process do you fellow cyclist take when assessing the damage and the process of insurance claims via the driver that hit me. (Police report made online) In this instance its my word against hers and with no witnesses doesn't help the matter.. In honesty if the bike is not covered I couldn't care as I'm at least alive.. Be cautious from silly drivers and be safe on the roads boys/girls.. (Which everyone already knows)
Re: CrashBloody 'ell Charlie!! Glad you are ok-ish. Which side got hit?
Sounds like the plods should be able to pin some negligence on her if she turned into you. If that's the level of damage to you, I'd suggest there could be frame damage. I'd only let Aldo at quantum have a look (Scarborough beach road) as he should be able to give a pretty accurate quote. Are you sure you're ok?
Re: CrashSo sorry to hear that mate
Hope you heal quickly with no long term ill effects.
Re: CrashSorry to here that, hope you get well soon and back on the saddle.
"My question is with my Look bike" But i have to ask.... How many bikes do you have? Ive seen a giant,ridley and now a look as part of your bike collection! Ive seen a post somewhere here about a bike xray, which may help?
Re: Crashif you have her details (and she was bound to provide them, if requested at the scene), you should send her a bill for the cost of replacing stuff. you might want to get a quote from your LBS on that. without a witness, the cops are unlikely to take action. a common misconception is that in that case, you can't recover losses from her. that isn't the case, as the test of civil liability is based on the balance of probabilities (someone can find the precise term), rather than proof beyond reasonable doubt. if she refuses, you can issue a writ for your claim to be heard in the magistrate's court. you don't need a lawyer for that - this isn't constitutional law, you can just tell your side of the story and the magistrate will almost certainly apportion you a share of the costs, depending on how you both present. in practice, she won't want to go to court - particularly if she knows she was in the wrong and will probably offer you a settlement.
Re: CrashI don't suffer fools easily and so long as you have done your best,you should have no regrets.

Re: Crash
In hindsight if it ever happens again call an ambulance. The police will also attend and take statements and hopefully the driver will admit it's their fault. Anyway it did'nt happen so hopefully the driver is honest I think Oxford has a template in the Safety and Advocacy Forum. I used a lawyer to send a letter of demand but the driver ignored it. A further letter was sent and I waited and waited until I got fed up and had the local legal service send a final letter of demand. I've been to the Magistrates Court and got the word on sueing the driver. Some 8 months down the track I have an offer of settlement from the drivers insurance company which is half the lowest quote which I rejected. I'm waiting for another offer. I'm glad your alive to which is really whats important. But it's also important that you are compensated for the damage to your bike. It's likely that it will be written off as a full scan of the frame can cost $800 or more. Add the cost of the wheels and other damage and it's better to write it off. So get 2 quotes from LBS's and send them with a letter of demand to the driver as soon as you can.
Re: Crash
The plods can't pin anything on her, especially negligence. They wer'nt there and even if they were she might get a ticket for failing to indicate when making a turn.
Re: CrashThanks everyone for your help and support.
I will most certainly take note for future incidents, but when your semi unconscious its hard to ask for an ambulance when your dealing with a silly young girl on her P plates that has little regard for road rules or assisting someone who is injured. At this point I couldn't care if I lose the cost of the bike, as most of you mentioned at least I'm still here Right now I'm faced with the boss of the house telling me to sell all bikes after this incident
Re: Crash
Ouch. I came off a couple of weeks ago, just lots of skin missing, thankfully. The boss of my house just said "You'd better take out income protection insurance". Such an understanding girl. Scott CR1, Kuota Kharma
Re: CrashNot too sure of some of the 'advice' being given.........but here in WA..
The driver of a vehicle must report a traffic crash when the incident occurred on a road or any place commonly used by the public, e.g. carparks; and the incident resulted in bodily harm to any person; or the total value of property damaged to all involved parties exceeds $3000; or the owner or representative of any damaged property is not present.
Re: CrashHey Rabo, accidents suck!
Hopefully everything mends properly and with a bit of luck you will get a decent resolution for damages. After I reported mine the cops did the offending person for failing to report an accident and also for failure to give way. I had my bike insured so I claimed through that and then they got the money back from the driver. It's much easier to pay the excess and let the insurance companies battle it out.
Re: CrashI forgot all about the law saying it needs to be reported!! I did that after someone booted me up the bum while driving so shoulda remembered.
How are you feeling ow mate after things have had time to stiffen up? Where abouts did it happen? If you need fuel for the boss, let her low that across the world, 100,000 people are killed or seriously injured in cars every day!! Driving is dangerous!!
Re: CrashDamn!
Heal quickly and well Rabo. Shaun ...whatever the road rules, self-preservation is the absolute priority for a cyclist when mixing it with motorised traffic.

Re: CrashThanks again guys =)
Now feeling much better so long as I dont move too much.. Neck is stuffed.. Happened on the roundabout near burns beach/joondalup. Checked cars for indicators and everyone was heading straight, therefore I proceeded and the next thing a Hyundai Getz at the last minute decides to turn left half way through the roundabout into me. As much as I could remember her two responses were " You can only turn left in the left lane anyway" (Incorrect) & "I was running late to pick up my puppies as I finished my exam"
Re: Crash
Bugger of a spot that. It's just nasty from every direction. Bit embarrassing though - a Getz!! I'm surprised her car didn't need towing You definitely need to get the plods involved if she can't even notice which lanes have huge turn arrows on them. I bet she's one of those people who come off the freeway down bb road and can't be bothered waiting to turn left, so uses the right lane anyway Not sure if it will help, but I've been seeing the guys at Ascend Physio at Challenge Stadium and love their work. As they get a lot of WAIS athletes through, I trust them a lot and they have given me really good treatment and exercises which have worked better than the last 2 physios I've seen. They also have physios who specialise in specific ailments (pretty sure one does neck/shoulder). Worth a look if you need that sort of treatment. Take care of yourself and get on with healing.
Re: CrashThanks Carolyn, I'll check out that Physio =)
Yeah already done my police report..
Re: CrashRecovering from a crash myself Rabo, and so I really feel for you, the healing is dragging on in my case and its not a lot of fun. Patience and strength my friend, rest hydration and nutrition, treat your body well and stretch the healing bits gently to regain movement and stay limber...within what your physio tells you of course.
Hope recovery goes smoothly and there's a resolution of the bike damage. Not so much a cyclist...more of a sit down comedian
Re: Crash It never nice to read about these things. A broken elbow can't be a pleasant result. I hope the prognosis is good.
I don't want to seem like I am blaming the victim but putting life and limb on the line based on the status of a cars indicator seems somewhat trusting. Number one rule is not to trust motorists. But maybe I'm not understanding the situation...
Re: CrashHey Rabobank89,
Crashes really suck. I've never had one on a pushbike but got clobbered in a SMIDSY incident whilst on my motorbike a few years back. I was luckier than you and walked away with no injury. Bike a write off. I packed in motorcycle riding about 2 years later. My conscious brain told me I was just bored with it but I have my doubts. The lizard brain doesn't respond to interrogation, just does what it will to protect a person! I saw you're selling stuff in the Marketplace, made me a bit sad. It would be good to see you get back on the horse as it were, but I know I'm not alone in understanding the self preservation instinct.
Re: CrashThat's no good Rabo heal up well. I guess we all could have been you. There is a round about on my normal ride Eddystone ave Craigie, I've ridden around it several times while wanting to go straight to stop being run over. Close to home take it easy mate.

Portola softball team forfeits final for concert
Shannon MorrowSports Editor
After qualifying for the Northern Section playoffs, the Portola High School softball team did not participate in the postseason due to a conflict with a school concert scheduled for the same time as the playoff match.
As the seventh seed in Division V, the Portola Tigers would have traveled to play second-seeded Etna Tuesday, May 18, the same day as the Portola High School spring concert.
Five girls on the softball team were also committed to being in the concert.
With just 12 girls on Portola's softball roster, the team needed every player to compete. Likewise, the music program needed all the students for its performance, as the softball girls covered key instruments and solos.
Cassidy Ledwig, the captain of Portola's softball team and the only senior on the squad, is also the first clarinetist in the band.
"It was we girls who figured it out," said Ledwig, explaining they were at softball practice and were shocked when they heard the date of the playoff game.
The scheduling conflict occurred because the potential playoff game was not on the master calendar in the administrative office.
"It was an unfortunate situation," said Portola principal Kristy Warren. "It should not have happened. We have taken steps so it will never happen again."
Once the school became aware of the conflict, Warren met Thursday morning, May 13, with softball coach Karl Popish to see if there was any way the situation could be fixed.
Compounding the problem was that if Portola was placed into the playoff brackets but then couldn't field a team, the team would be ineligible for next year's playoffs.
On the other side of the problem was the longstanding policy that if any students missed the concert, they would automatically be dropped one letter grade.
Initially, the school hoped the students could participate in the game Tuesday afternoon and the concert Tuesday evening, but when the game was scheduled to be played in Etna, which is five hours away, it was no longer an option to do both on Tuesday.
The school also explored the option of moving the date of the concert, which band teacher Gary Klivans was willing to do, but the administration chose not to.
"Ultimately, it was my decision not to move the concert," said Warren. "There were a number of other students and families affected by it."
Warren went on to explain that there was no clear date for when to reschedule the concert, because things were tight with other events.
"My hope was that both events would happen," said Warren. "We could let the girls decide which way they wanted to go."
Warren said that it's nice that students can do so much at a small school, but at times there are conflicts. Athletes often have to put their sport before academics, but this situation magnified the issue.
"It was a pretty hefty commitment either way," said Ledwig. "It was horrible. All of us were in tears at lunch. Which team do you let down; which do you choose?"
Ledwig explained that at this point, Popish made the decision to not participate in the playoffs.
"He really cares about us and didn't want us to be dropped a letter grade," said Ledwig.
Concerning that policy, Ledwig said Klivans had to enforce it, because "it wouldn't be fair for him not to."
After offering to move the date of the concert, Klivans was unaware of the softball team's decision to forego the playoffs.
"I was devastated," said Klivans. "I tried to do everything I could to get it changed back."
Once it was official that the softball team would not participate in the playoffs, some of the other softball parents grew angry.
"Several parents are furious and are writing letters," said Mark Olson, the father of one of the softball players. "Several parents are afraid to (write letters), because they're afraid of the administration. There are a lot of upset parents on the matter."
Klivans said the seven softball players out of the loop were seeing things through emotion, but the five softball players also in band acted maturely and had been wonderful.
"I felt like a scapegoat," said Klivans. "The girls were not pressured or forced to do anything by the music program."
Warren agreed. "The coach and the teacher were doing their best not to pressure or coerce anyone," she said.
By all accounts, Klivans and Popish felt terrible about the situation and just wanted what was best for the girls.
"Our teacher and coach were willing to compromise and fix it, but the administration was not willing to let that happen," said Ledwig.
"There was no forfeit," said Warren. "We chose not to go to the playoffs. It was not counted as a loss."
Portola made its decision within the timeframe needed by the California Interscholastic Federation to enter a different team into the playoff brackets, so Portola is fully eligible for next year's postseason.
The Etna Lions, who Portola would have faced in the first round, went on to win all three of their playoff games and capture the Northern Section championship for the second straight year.

Foldvary on Currency
April 4, 2003 | Posted by Staff under Archive, Progress Report, The Progress Report |
Currency Boards for Troubled Moneys
by Fred E. Foldvary, Senior Editor
The global economy is suffering from monetary chaos. The currencies of several countries in East Asia suffered a severe devaluation. This drop in the value of a currency relative to other currencies makes imports much more expensive, which is why hungry and angry demonstrators toppled the government in Indonesia. Devaluation makes exports cheaper, but that often does not help much if the banking system has broken down and there is no credit.
It is interesting to note that the Chinese economies have so far not suffered as much. These are China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Singapore. What they have in common besides being ethnically Chinese is that these countries did not devalue their currencies. Russia is now experiencing a currency crisis. Investors fear that because of its debts and budget deficits, the government of Russia may devalue its currency. In order to keep foreign funds in the country, the government has raised interest rates to 50, 100, even 150 percent. IMF loans and high interest rates have not restored investor confidence because these only treat the symptoms.
Some economists have proposed a remedy for troubled money: currency boards. These boards would convert a domestic currency into foreign currency at a fixed rate. Several countries have implemented currency boards successfully. Estonia, one of the Baltic countries formerly in the USSR, backs its money with German marks, and exchanges its currency for marks at a fixed rate. All the Estonian money is backed with German money or bonds. Hong Kong has had a currency board instead of a central bank, and so far it has been successful in preserving the Hong Kong dollar.
The global ideal would be a common international currency, which the global economy had prior to World War I when money was gold, and national currencies were convertible into gold at fixed rates. Short of that, a currency board can at least stabilize a national currency. However, if a country's money is based on the currency of another country, such as the US dollar, the domestic currency is hostage to the currency value and interest rates of the other country. That hurt the East Asian economies when the US dollar gained in value, making the Asian exports more expensive.
What I would recommend to the governments of Russia, Indonesia, and any other country, would be to base their currencies on a basket of four items: the US dollar, the euro, gold, and first-class postage. Suppose Russia issued a new currency, the CB (currency board) rouble. One CB rouble would be worth 25 UC cents plus one quarter of a euro plus one thousandth of an ounce of gold plus one first- class stamp. The euro is the new European Union currency that will replace the ECU and the national currencies of several countries in Europe; it is worth a bit more than one US dollar.
Russia would issue stamps good for domestic first-class postage at the lowest current rate, but with no denomination. They would just be inscribed "first class." Several countries already issue such stamps; they are good for domestic postage no matter what the postage rate is. These stamps are therefore inflation-proof, and can be part of the backing for money. For the gold, the currency board would issue bars with one ounce, half ounce, a quarter ounce, and a tenth ounce of gold.
With postage around 25c, and 1/000 ounce of gold about 30c, the CB rouble would be worth a bit over one US dollar. The value of the CB rouble would be stable so long as Russia could deliver US dollars, euros, gold, and first-class stamps, on demand. One would be able to bring 100 CB roubles to the currency board and obtain 25 US dollars, 25 euros, 100 first-class stamps, and one-tenth ounce of gold. This mix of currencies and commodities would be more stable than basing the currency only on the dollar, euro, or gold.
To be credible, the CB rouble would have to have 100 percent backing. For every 100 roubles, the board would have to have about $25 in US currency or treasury bills, $25 in German currency or short-term bonds, and $25 in gold. The board would not need to stockpile stamps, since the government could print as many as the public demands (but then be ready to accept them for the service of postage!). This backing would be the wisest use of the billions of dollars of IMF loans Russia is getting.
With such a currency board and asset-backed money, there would be no more devaluations and currency crises. The CB rouble would not fluctuate much, since the variations in the value of the US dollar, euro, and gold would mostly offset one another, and the one quarter of the CB rouble based on postage would not fluctuate.
Currency boards have worked well, and if the backing of money with a mix of assets would provide stability, why do countries still have central banks and fiat money instead? Because central banks that issue fiat money – not backed by anything – allow them to have a monetary policy. They can in the short run print money to cover expenses and try to stimulate growth. In the longer run, they get inflation, which hurts the economy. These government officials just are not going to give up their power over the creation of money even if that is the solution to their currency problems.

I should have read this before! it makes a lot sence to me. but you are right, government official are too power hungry to admit this is a wise solution. thanks
too complicated for my blonde mind thank you very much…
I think we should all go back to gold backed currencies. I'm looking forward to the dinar as a trading currency, as suggested by Mahathir, PM of Malaysia.

Air: Scoring A Cinematic Marvel, 100 Years Later
Originally published on Tue January 31, 2012 9:00 pm
In 1902, director Georges Melies released his magnum opus: Le Voyage Dans La Lune (A Trip To the Moon), often considered the first science-fiction movie ever. Even if you've never heard of Melies, you've probably seen the film's most famous shot: a moon with a human face, wincing at the spaceship that has just crashed into its eye.
What almost no one has seen since the film's original release is its true color palette. Modern audiences know Le Voyage as a black-and-white movie, but in fact, Melies hand-painted each frame of the film for special screenings. Those hand-painted reels were lost for decades; when they were discovered in Barcelona back in 1993, archivists began a years-long process of repairing the badly damaged film. For its soundtrack, they asked Nicolas Godin and Jean-Benoit Dunckel — the French duo known as Air — to put together an original score.
The new restoration debuted at the Cannes Film Festival in May, and the soundtrack album is coming out in a few days. Godin and Dunckel tell NPR's Guy Raz that as exciting as it was to write the music, the real thrill was seeing the movie the way Melies intended.
"It's like another movie — you don't look at it the same way," Godin says. "The color makes the movie very modern, like something as entertaining now as it was in the past. The black-and-white version is more like a piece of a museum."
Dunckel says the duo watched the movie every day for a month — and that by the end, he started to feel like a part of the original film crew.
"I can recognize on the screen any character, any woman, any man. I can see how much fun they had. I can feel the energy, the fact that they were so young at the time," Godin says. "I felt part of the whole process."
Watch a scene from the restored version of Le Voyage Dans La Lune, featuring original music by Air.
Time now for music and a film score 110 years in the making.
RAZ: In 1902, the very genesis of filmmaking, director Georges Melies released his magnum opus: "Le Voyage Dans La Lune," "A Trip to the Moon," the first science-fiction film ever. You know, the famous shot of the moon with a human face and then it grimaces when the spaceship lands right in his eye? That's the movie I'm talking about.
Melies hand painted each frame of his movie for special screenings. It was once in color. But those hand-painted reels were lost for decades, that is, until they were discovered in Barcelona back in 1993. Archivists worked for years to restore the badly damaged film. And for its soundtrack, they asked the French duo known as Air to write the score.
RAZ: The restored version debuted at the Cannes Film Festival back in May, and the soundtrack album is coming out in a few days. Nicolas Godin and Jean-Benoit Dunckel are Air. They heard rumors that the long-missing colored reels had been found, and Nicolas Gordin could hardly believe it.
NICOLAS GODIN: It was like a legend. It was like the Loch Ness monster.
RAZ: They didn't know what colors these characters were.
GODIN: No. When it was done in 1902, they were setting the film to some theaters, and the theaters would show the movie until destruction. So, really, none of them have been survived. So we were - it was like, oh, my God. I can't believe we're going to see it. You know, it was like a big moment because many people heard about that movie, but no one in the world have seen it.
RAZ: They saw, of course, a black and white version of it but never a color version.
GODIN: Yeah. It's very different.
RAZ: Right.
GODIN: The black and white version is more like a piece of a museum, you know? The colored version is more like you watch it like you would watch a normal movie. You know, it's very cool.
RAZ: It's also terrifying. And you could imagine watching that in 1902. Of course, the basic story is a spaceship lands on a moonscape and all these men emerge from the spaceship wearing, obviously, period clothing, so top hats and long-tailed coats, and out pop mushrooms in this landscape, these sort of Technicolor mushrooms, and then aliens begin to attack them, and they fight against the aliens, and the aliens disappear in puffs of smoke. It's a very psychedelic film, actually.
GODIN: Yeah.
RAZ: You know, I think I would get the fear if I watched that film back in my college days.
GODIN: Yeah. That's the reason why we wanted to do some fear sounds. And that's why we didn't choose to use like a traditional soundtrack, you know, like it used to be in 1902 with the piano like the (unintelligible).
RAZ: And by the way, for folks listening to this conversation, obviously, this is very visual. And you can see what we're talking about if you go to our website, npr.org.
RAZ: There's a piece on this record, it's called "Decollage," and it seems to hint at Stanley Kubrick's use of Strauss in "2001." And I don't know whether you thought of that, but did you sort of borrow from other science fiction scores in your compositions?
JEAN-BENOIT DUNCKEL, MEMBER, AIR: No. But talking about Strauss and other artists try it (unintelligible), you know? And this is the main instrument we experiment on this album. We - it's been a long time where we wanted to try to recall the tympanis, and so we crossed the line this time. We rented some big tympanis and we put them on a lot of the songs.
But I think all the other references to science fiction (unintelligible) is more like in our subconscious because we do music in very instinctive and spontaneous way, and then when we listen to the record, it's, oh, this reminds me of this movie, this reminds me of this movie. You know, it's in our blood.
RAZ: My guests are Nicolas Godin and Jean-Benoit Dunckel. They're the electric duo known as Air, and their new record is a score to the century-old silent film "Le Voyage Dans La Lune." You guys have obviously done film scores. You've done work for Sofia Coppola's films "The Virgin Suicides" and "Lost in Translation." How did you do the music for this? Did you watch it over and over and over again, you know, with instruments in front of you?
AIR: Yeah. We watched the movie all day long for like one month. It was, like, very intense. At some point, I remember where I was so familiar with the movie that I feel part of the team back in 1902. And I can see how much fun they had to shoot that movie. I can feel the energy, the fact that they were so young by the time.
I discovered that with "Virgin Suicides" because when you look at a movie all day long, you start to know all the moves of the actors and you know exactly what they are doing, and so you feel part of the set at some point. So I really felt after one week I'd been hired by George Melies to compose the music of his movie, you know?
RAZ: Wow.
AIR: I felt part of the whole process. It was very strange.
RAZ: And Melies did not write a soundtrack for this film in 1902, right?
AIR: No. He was not thinking of music when he was doing this movie because cinema was not associated with sound. And when they asked us to do that, we wanted to be sure that really he had no indication, no recommendation, he really had no thought about any music on the top of it because we never wanted to take the place of someone else or to betray the work of a composer.
RAZ: You have worked together, the two of you, a long time. And clearly, you have a strong partnership and presumably a strong friendship. Is it easy to work together? Does it - is just kind of flow?
GODIN: Oh, we are like a couple. You know, we have good moments and bad moments.
AIR: And part of the thing is that we are different. We like to kill a lot of the other ideas. It's a lot like the melody that you hear on the record are the surviving things. It's like evolution, you know? I mean, the species that survive are the most adapted to the situation. And we are playing this kind of record to our music, so it's sort of an artistic fight.
RAZ: I read that you guys worked on a very tight schedule to finish this music. Why?
GODIN: Because I think they were so scared not to be able to achieve such ambitious restoration process. And when they were close to finish, there were so much buzz around this movie that they decided to show it at the Cannes Film Festival. So they were not expected such a short deadline. So when they called us, they said, look, sorry, but one month from now, it's going to be shown at Cannes in the South of France. And that's it. There's nothing we can do about it.
So we were pretty scared because we just finished the day or two days before. You know, we were scared of the reaction of the audience. We were thinking, oh, my God, how can they dare to touch such a monumental cinema? So when we were in Cannes, I was very stage fright. And the light went dark and it was the giant screen - because we worked on a computer - I saw what we have done. And I said, oh, my God, this was much more like spectacular than I imagined.
And after 15 minutes, people start to applause, and that was such a relief for me. I was like - it was - I didn't enjoy that night because I was so terrified.
RAZ: You were terrified because of course you did take on this sacred film and you're worried that people are going to say, what is this music?
GODIN: Yes, exactly.
RAZ: And, of course, they didn't.
GODIN: No, because we helped the movie. We served the movie. We made the movie entertaining. And that's what the dream of Melies (unintelligible). And now, with the color and the music, this movie is really - it's such a good piece of art. And people have fun, people are entertained. You know, it's great.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: All of you will be back home safely. So join us with no fear on our fantastic trip to the moon.
RAZ: Nicolas Godin and Jean-Benoit Dunckel are the duo known as Air. Their new record is an imagined score to the 1902 silent film "Le Voyage Dans La Lune." You can hear a few tracks and see a snippet of the film at our website, nprmusic.org. Gentlemen, thank you so much.
GODIN: Thank you.
AIR: Thank you.

Straily hopes to keep first-place A's on right track
Latos looks to continue hot stretch in opener vs. Oakland
Last season, the Athletics did not find themselves alone in first place in the American League West until beating the Rangers on the final day of the season to capture the division title. They spent most of the season fighting to overcome a deficit that climbed as high as 13 games.
This time around, Oakland is the frontrunner, carrying a division lead into Tuesday's series opener at Cincinnati. The club lost two of three games to Texas over the weekend, its advantage dropping to 2 1/2 games with Sunday's defeat.
"When you're in first place, the last thing you want to do is think about trying to hold your lead. You have to play like you're catching up," A's manager Bob Melvin said. "With two months left, a lot changes. And in baseball, things can flip back and forth very quickly. We have to play like we're five games behind.
"You can't play with your head turned back hoping that you hold your lead. We have to come in and be very aggressive and not get caught up in the standings. We are in a better position, but that doesn't guarantee anything because we were in a worse position last year and we ended up winning it."
Melvin added that his team's mantra is to "play for today." On Tuesday night, that will mean dealing with a Reds club that has dropped seven of its past nine games, scoring three runs or fewer in each of those defeats.
After starting an eight-game homestand by losing two of three to the division-rival Cardinals, including a 15-2 thrashing on Sunday, the Reds will try to get their bats going in the opener of a two-game Interleague set.
"At this point in the season -- I know there's two months left, I know there's time left, but we're running out of tomorrows, and you want to make these games count," Reds reliever Sam LeCure said.
"We'll see how we respond from this off-day [Monday], and hopefully everybody comes back with a little bit of a renewed sense of urgency and finding ways to win games."
Cincinnati still leads the chase for the second National League Wild Card spot, but Sunday's loss dropped the club to five games behind St. Louis and 6 1/2 behind Pittsburgh in the NL Central. The offense has played a significant role, managing a total of 10 runs in its past seven losses. It's scored 45 runs in its past six victories.
On Tuesday, the Reds will face A's right-hander Dan Straily (6-5, 4.41 ERA). The 24-year-old is 0-3 with a 5.06 ERA in three starts since returning from Triple-A Sacramento on July 20, and he has fallen short of five innings pitched in two consecutive outings.
Straily is facing the Reds for the first time, while Cincinnati righty Mat Latos (10-3, 3.37) is making his first start against the A's.
Latos is 2-0 with a 2.41 ERA in three outings since the All-Star break. He held the Padres to two runs over six innings on Tuesday, but fell victim to the offense's struggles in taking a no-decision in a game the Reds eventually lost.
"It's rough, that's for sure," Latos said afterward. "We have such a good ballclub. For things like this to happen, it's ... I can't even think of a word, to be honest with you -- miserable, I guess. We really shouldn't be struggling and losing ballgames as much as we are."
Athletics: Lowrie's hot bat cooled a bit
Shortstop Jed Lowrie hit safely in each of the first nine games of the A's 10-game homestand, before going 0-for-4 on Sunday. He finished the stand 14-for-41 (.341), with three doubles, a home run and seven RBIs, while notching four multi-hit games.
Lowrie also is 4-for-5 with two home runs and five RBIs in his career against Latos.
• Reliever Ryan Cook has not allowed an earned run in 14 straight games. In 15 innings over that span, the righty has given up eight hits and four walks while striking out 13 and surrendering one unearned run.
Reds: Mesoraco stepping up
Since Ryan Hanigan went on the disabled list July 11, Devin Mesoraco has become the Reds' regular catcher and made the most of that chance. The 25-year-old is 19-for-65 (.292) with four doubles, four home runs and 12 RBIs over that span, including a two-homer game on Saturday.
Manager Dusty Baker said that Mesoraco, the club's first-round pick in the 2007 First-Year Player Draft, is improving his all-around game.
"There's a lot of stuff that goes into being a catcher," Baker said. "It's the toughest position on the field -- mentally and physically. You can't take that strikeout with the bases loaded out on the field, and vice versa, you can't take a bad inning to the plate."
Worth noting
• Oakland, starting a six-game road trip, is making its first trip to Great American Ball Park and playing its first road series against the Reds since 2002. The club swept a two-game set from Cincinnati at home back in June.
• Oakland leads the teams' all-time regular-season series, 10-4, including a three-game sweep at Cinergy Field in 2002. The teams have split their two World Series matchups, with the A's winning in 1972 and the Reds in 1990.

Sometimes, it seems like "if it can go wrong" -- it will go wrong!
When I'm having one of those days -- or weeks -- or months -- it's easy for me to start speculations about deeper levels of reality and higher levels of purpose and all that kind of stuff that I'll never seem to know the real answers to the questions.
It can make great fodder for thought -- but, I still have to get up, suit up, show up, tie my shoe laces -- and walk up-right for most of the day -- while I take care of most of my every day daily tasks of living.
Sometimes, it seems that all I can really do, is to acknowledge that "I seem to be having one of those crappy days -- that we all seem to have from time to time. I just hope this one doesn't last the entire week!"
I have a really nice pick-up truck that I want to sell. I've wanted to sell it for a couple of years. Don't you know -- that every time I go to put a sign on the truck -- or, to seriously look for a buyer -- something happens to the truck -- and I end up putting a few more hundred in here or there!
It's gets all fixed up real nice -- working perfectly -- and stays that way -- until I get off my rump and start to sell it.... then, like clock-work, it will need an alternator or something even more expensive.
Sometimes, some things in life -- just seem to suck. And, I guess I still have to get used to the one's that will seem to always suck.

Hey there Dallas. Yup read that and the varieties of religous experience earlier this year when I basically read everything on silkworth dot net back in about month 2 or 3. I wanted it real bad this time but my sponsor would tell you I was still kicking and screamin'. You mentioned about either wanting a pre '75 or ppost '75 copy of 24 hours I thought. Just wondering for that particular read what significance to '75.
When I shared this week I read a passage from "Came to believe" that goes like this:
"In the beginning, I rejected any part of the AA program that referenced God in any manner. I even remained silent when they closed meetings with the Lords Prayer (ours here is the serenity prayer as you do).
Looking back, I don't think I was an agnostic, nor do I think I was an atheist. But I do know this: I couldn't accept any of "the God bit," nor did I want to come to believe or have any spiritual awakening. After all, I had come to AA to get sober, and what did all this truck have to do with that?
Even with all my stupid arrogance, you still loved me, held out your hand of friendship, and I'm sure, used cautious wisdom in trying to reach me with the program. But I could hear only what I wanted to hear.
I remained dry for a number of years (substitute months here for me and it's the same drill) and then, as you may already have guessed, I drank again. It was inevitable. I had accepted only those parts of the program that fitted into my life without effort on my part. I was still the self-centered egotist I had always been, still full of all my old hatreds, selfishness, and disbelief -- just as lacking in maturity as I had been when I first arrived in AA"
Read that last Sunday and it struck a chord with me. I think I did want the spiritual angle but the rest lines up pretty good. It was nice to read varieties prior to having had my own variety. Whish I had read it earlier.
Peaceful day to you!!!

By Michael McGoon, MD, and Bonnie McGoonOrganizers of the Rochester PH Gala
Gala Committee members - from left, Louise Durst, RN and Sue Tointon, RN,both from Mayo Clinic; Marilyn Manor, RN and Laura Burns, RN, both fromAccredo
The Rochester PH Gala was first held in 2001. The inspiration for its initiation can be traced back to the PHA International PH Conference in Chicago in 2000. At that Conference, a real sense emerged that we had seen genuine progress in the treatment of PH and yet there remained much to be done.
We (nurses, physicians and non-medical spouses) returned to Rochester, Minn., thinking there was a vibrant atmosphere of accomplishment, hope and need. Informal discussions led to the idea of a gala to spark community awareness and (we hoped) generosity. Before we knew it, plans solidified for a formal dinner and dance with a lottery (for a classic Corvette donated by a generous patient) and a silent auction.
The first gala was a wonderful success and it initiated a series of biennial events which have continued to evolve. Each subsequent gala has capitalized on the successful aspects of the galas that came before. We went from a formal affair to themed events, such as recreating an atmosphere of the 1940s, and fun entertainment, like magic shows and karaoke contests. The lottery of motor vehicles continues, and we've had raffles of jewelry from a local business. Our auctions include items such as private airplane excursions piloted by Carl Hicks, former chair of PHA's Board of Trustees.
Through the gala, we realized that pulmonary hypertension was becoming a well-recognized cause behind which the community could rally — awareness was palpably increased with each passing year. In order to focus on this aspect, we recruited the participation of the editor of Rochester Magazine, Steve Lange, as our honorary chairman in 2009. He generously publicized the events in 2009 and 2011.
The gala has fostered awareness and contributed resources to the mission of PHA, and it has become a communal activity where medical professionals, patients, medical companies and community members all make essential contributions. The challenge now is to continue to live up to the high expectations that have been established — a challenge that we look forward to meeting at each succeeding event.

The single strap uses military A.L.I.C.E. style flexibility so you can comfortably carry the Rock Hopper over just one shoulder all day. Besides, when was the last time you saw someone wearing a backpack using both straps?
HYDRATE WITH YOUR CAMEL BACK. Popular uses for the Rock Hopper Crossbody Shoulder Sling Bag include a hydration daypack to safely store your camel back in, a cross-city daypack, a messenger bag, a shoulder bag day pack, even an extra large heavy-duty padded purse! There's a belly strap attached that snaps onto the shoulder strap featuring the same heavy duty o-ring and military grade equipment as our Rucksacks.
ACCESS WHILE WEARING. The Red Oxx Rock Hopper Crossover Shoulder Sling Bag is tight with the motorcycle, mountain biking, hiking, jogging, skiing and snowboarding crowds as you can slip it over your head and it will stay secure across your chest, out of the way, yet available for access, "at hand" in front, where and when you need it.
A SLING BAG BUILT LIKE A TANK. Our customers like to define our gear as "built like a tank". While obviously you're not going to be toting around sling bags that weigh 50 tons and have three inches of armor plate, still the comparison is valid. For a bag, they are built tough. Starting with the most durable textile material available, 1000 weight CORDURA® nylon, we use super strong UV resistant thread that's stitched into every seam.
BOUND AND BAGGED. Places where two separate pieces of fabric are stitched together are then bound, that is, we take a long piece of one inch wide nylon webbing and fold it over the edges of the two pieces and stitch them together, this creates a strong seam, or binding, that prevents the pieces from unraveling on the inside of the bag, or gives it a clean finished look if on the outside of the bag. All of our binding material is vertically woven to prevent fraying, peeling or splitting that you may commonly see in less expensive bags that brag of "binding" their edges.
WHY DOUBLE BOX STITCHING? Each stress point, such as where the single shoulder strap attaches to the bag, is double box stitched - which is where we get the "double XX" in our name, Red Oxx; a stitching practice we adapted from our service as parachute riggers.
MY, WHAT BIG ZIPPERS YOU HAVE! The reason Red Oxx uses the largest zipper we can afford, the #10 YKK VISLON® zipper, is that they are easily repairable, even in the field; they will hold their place, that is, they "lock"; they are difficult to penetrate, thereby increasing the security of your belongings; they function smoothly in inclement weather and they can be yanked from a variety of angles without losing teeth or becoming separated.
PUTTING THE HARD IN HARDWARE. Red Oxx has occasionally been accused of "overdoing" our hardware. But once you've had a cheap piece of plastic hardware break in the middle of a busy intersection, airport or other inconvenient locale dumping your precious belongings all over the ground, having a heavy-duty nickel-plated or stainless steel D ring or attachment swivel that weighs just a little more, or might make a little noise, is a travel companion's confidence builder and peace of mind maker. After all, you want to enjoy your journey as best you can. Why worry about having your bag break down?

The 5-blade Islander by Fanimation in the Pewter finish allows you to create an oasis of calm within your home. The choice of 6 tropically inspired blade styles (sold separately in looks ranging from rattan, palm fronds, and oval leaves to more transitional motifs) will help transform living rooms, bedrooms, and sunrooms into exotic yet casual settings. The blade sweep ranges from 68 to 80 inches, depending on the style selected. Best of all, the Energy Star-rated Islander consumes 70 percent less energy than a conventional ceiling fan thanks to its DC-powered motor. Conserving energy never felt this good! The streamlined housing in the Pewter finish seamlessly fits in with transitional and contemporary décors. With the flexibility of 6 forward and 6 reverse speeds, you can choose to relax under a gentle breeze, experience some major cooling effects during a heat wave and everything in between. Sloped ceilings are no problem for the Islander; it can be installed in ceilings with up to a 30 degree slope. A remote control is included (an optional wall control can be ordered). All Fanimation motors are protected by a limited lifetime warranty. Learn how to install a Fanimation Islander fan with our installation video and article.

Goodguys Pleasanton 2007 - Pleasurable Pleasanton - Expanded For Web
Written by Kevin Lee on December 4, 2007 Another Day Out Of The OfficeWe go to a lot of shows every year and although we enjoy them all, there are a few we'd go to even if we weren't working. Goodguys Pleasanton is one of them. It's close enough to Southern California that we can bypass the airport hassle and cruise up. I did just that this year and decided to stretch the '32's legs and put some more highway miles on it.
I spent a couple of days checking all the fluids before I left, solving a few of the suspension woes I had been living with, and swapping on some new radials. My co-pilot for the trip was Rick Love from Vintage Air. Rick puts plenty of miles on his hot rods, but they're both coupes and he's a little spoiled with the whole controlled interior temperature thing. I left the top on to keep the chances of being sunburnt down, but other than that Rick was going to have to rough it.
We got out of L.A. traffic with little problem and decided to take the less-than-direct route up the 101. We were rewarded with clear skies as we made our way north along the beach. It was not feeling like work at all and beat the hell out of driving up a rental.
The weather remained perfect and the sheer number of things to look at kept me entertained all weekend. I'm already looking into putting together a trip next year cruising over from Bonneville. Keep an eye on our news column for possible details.

Analyzing Unanswered Prayer
from R.C. Sproul Mar 21, 2010 Category: R.C. Sproul
Our prayers are sometimes not answered because we pray in vague generalities. When all our prayers are either vague or universal in their scope, it is difficult to experience the exhilaration that goes with clear and obvious answers to prayer. If we ask God to "bless everyone in the world" or "forgive everyone in town," it would be difficult to see the prayer answered in any concrete way. Not that it is wrong to have a large scope of interest in prayer, but if all prayer is given to such generality, then no prayer will have specific and concrete application. Keep Reading -

Doctrine and Life
from R.C. Sproul Jr. Mar 19, 2010 Category: Articles
This past Sunday I was blessed with the opportunity to preach, this time at Reformation Orthodox Presbyterian Church near Denver. The pastor there is my friend and co-laborer and Highland Fellow Kevin Swanson. I preached what has become of late what I call my "traveling sermon," that sermon that I give when I visit sundry pulpits around the country. My text is John 13: 1-17, where Jesus washes the feet of the disciples. I suggest in that sermon that, strangely, we who are Reformed, are often proud of ourselves for being Reformed. I argue that we would likely have joined Jesus in washing the disciples' feet, missing the point that our own feet are filthy. We confuse believing in the doctrine of total depravity with having a deep sense of our own sin. One is affirming a doctrine, the other a more existential awareness of our own condition.

The Sinkhole Syndrome
from Donald Whitney Mar 18, 2010 Category: Tabletalk Magazine
You know the story. A man has been a believer in Christ for decades. To all outward appearances he's a man of Christian faithfulness and integrity. He has maintained a reputation as a fine example of public and private faithfulness to the things of God for decades. Then, without warning, it all collapses into a sinkhole of sin. Everyone wonders how it could have happened so quickly. In most cases, it soon becomes known that — like most sinkholes — the problem didn't develop overnight. Keep Reading -

Some of the most frequent disputes that arise amongst Christians concern the controversies between Protestantism and classical Roman Catholic christianity. But what are the differences that divide Roman Catholics and Protestants? Are they important? For the past week, Dr. Sproul has been going through the series Roman Catholicism on his radio program, Renewing Your Mind, and will conclude the series on March 19. In this series, R.C. Sproul carefully and respectfully looks at the doctrines that are at the heart of the Catholic-Protestant divide. Keep Reading -
Participating in the Census
from R.C. Sproul Jr. Mar 16, 2010 Category: Articles
Should Christians participate in the Census? If so, should we answer all the questions or, as according to the Constitution, just tell the number of people in our household?
Several years ago I wrote a short piece encouraging Christians, when faced with an intrusive state, to not so much push back, as remain firm. One could argue that just as Paul insisted that he receive his rights as a citizen of Rome, that we ought to insist on our rights. One could, on the other hand, argue that when Jesus calls us to go the second mile, this is precisely the kind of thing He had in mind, that even if the state has no Constitutional warrant to ask us anything beyond the number of people in our home, we ought to humbly and meekly comply.

Doctrine of the Person of Christ: Recommended Reading
from Keith Mathison Mar 15, 2010 Category: Articles
When Jesus brought the disciples to Caesarea Philippi, he asked them, "Who do people say that the Son of Man is?" This question was important, not only for the first disciples, but for all mankind. The early church sought to understand how those biblical texts that taught the Jesus is God were to be reconciled with those texts that taught that Jesus is fully human. Theologians have been wrestling with this and related issues for millennia. Keep Reading -
Stunting Worship
from R.C. Sproul Mar 14, 2010 Category: R.C. Sproul
The visual impact of the furnishings and the buildings of both the Old Testament tabernacle and temple was awesome. The eyes were dazzled with a sense of the splendor of God. Sound was vital to Old Testament worship. The choral compositions of the Psalms were moving to the Spirit. They were accompanied by the full harmony and rhythm supplied by the harp, the lyre, the flute, and trumpets. The piano and the organ are marvelous instruments, but they cannot produce the sounds that the other instruments provide. Hymns and choral anthems are greatly enhanced when they are supported with greater orchestration. Keep Reading

DUBAI, U.A.E., 14 November 2012 - The Hon Anthony Albanese MP, Australia's Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, on Wednesday visited a number of Emirates airline and Dubai Airports facilities during a visit to Dubai.
The Minister met with His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al-Maktoum, Chairman and Chief Executive, Emirates airline & Group; Tim Clark, President Emirates airline, and Paul Griffiths, CEO Dubai Airports.
During a tour of Emirates' Aviation College, the Minister met with Emirates' Divisional Senior Vice President, Flight Operations Captain Alan Stealey and Senior Vice Presiden, Safety, Henry Donohoe, who briefed him on the airline's rigorous pilot and crew training and safety programmes. Later the Minister experienced firsthand a 'flight' in one of the airline's Airbus A380 simulators with Australian pilot Captain Tim Anderson.
"I hope that Minister Albanese's visit has given him an overview of how Emirates and Dubai operates and our commitment to training, safety and customer service," said Sheikh Ahmed.
"Australia is a key growth market for Emirates, in 2013 we will be operating 84 flights a week to five points in Australia from Dubai. We believe our partnership with Qantas, pending regulatory approval, will further grow tourism to Australia from our expanding network, and will deliver the best frequent flyer program and customer experience for travellers both to and from Australia," continued Sheikh Ahmed.
Emirates' dedicated A380 concourse at Dubai International Airport, will be shared with Qantas who will begin flying through Dubai en-route to the London-Heathrow from Sydney and Melbourne.
