No relationship is going to work, including the ones that are hanging by a thread (I was married when I got sober), if we don't recover from alcoholism.

Burnett hopes to get on track vs. red-hot Kennedy
Both clubs looking to make headway after rocky start to season
Considering how much each team has struggled this year, the Padres and Phillies have to be looking forward to squaring off against each other for a three-games series.
The Phillies, whose 25-36 record is the worst in the National League, will enter Tuesday's game at Citizens Bank Park as losers of eight of their last nine games. The Padres, who are fourth in the NL West with a 28-35 record, had dropped four of their last six entering Sunday's game against the Nationals.
But despite that, both teams remain very much alive in the Wild Card conversation, at least mathematically speaking -- the Marlins are leading that pack at only three games over .500 (33-30).
A.J. Burnett will take the hill to try to stop the bleeding for Philadelphia. After posting a 2.06 ERA in seven starts through May 3, the hard-throwing righty is 1-4 with a 7.25 ERA in six starts since. His last outing was his worst all season. In six innings against Washington on Wednesday, Burnett allowed 10 hits, eight runs and four walks.
"For somebody who harps on shutout innings, I've been pretty [bad] at it," Burnett said after his last start. "Sorry about the language, but I have been. I will be better. Guys throw up runs, you have to put up zeros after that. That's how you stop it. That's how you get the momentum on your side, and that wasn't done."
San Diego's Ian Kennedy, meanwhile, has been nothing but brilliant over his last three starts. He's notched three consecutive wins and in 18 innings pitched dating back to May 25, Kennedy has a 2.00 ERA with 22 strikeouts.
Kennedy's ERA is currently about 1 1/2 runs lower than it was a year ago with the D-backs and Padres.
Phillies: Giles gets the call
The Phillies have been waiting for a couple months to see Ken Giles' 100-mph fastball in Philadelphia.
They should get their first look this week at Citizens Bank Park. The Phillies promoted him from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Saturday.
He had a 1.20 ERA in 13 appearances with Double-A Reading. He struck out 29 and walked five in just 15 innings. The Phillies promoted him to Triple-A early last month and he posted a 2.63 ERA in 11 appearances, although he struck out just nine and walked eight in 13 2/3 innings.
"I'm not perfect," he said. "I'm not a complete project yet, but I'm only going to get better with experience."
Padres: Rivera making an impact
Rene Rivera began this season as Andrew Cashner's personal catcher, largely starting just once every five games before giving way to Yasmani Grandal and Nick Hundley, two backstops regarded as better offensive threats. But with Hundley now playing for Baltimore and Grandal hovering below the Mendoza line, Rivera has started seven of San Diego's last nine games.
After gaining journeyman status after several years in the Minors and with an independent league team, the 30-year-old Rivera is finally getting time as a Major League regular. At least until Grandal, a 25-year-old switch hitting catcher, finds his groove.
"All the work that I've put into with [hitting coaches Phil] Plantier and Alonzo [Powell] is paying off," Rivera said. "The main thing we work on is be consistent with my swing. That's been our main goal since last year."
"He's playing well and I like the way he's catching," Padres manager Bud Black said. "He's doing a good job with the pitching staff and our team ERA is really good when he's catching."
Worth noting
• Jimmy Rollins had two RBIs in the leadoff spot Saturday, which put him in rare company. It was his 160th multi-RBI game in the leadoff spot, which is tied with Pete Rose for third-most since 1900. Only Rickey Henderson (242) and Johnny Damon (173) have had more.
• Left-hander Cesar Jimenez cleared waivers and accepted his outright assignment to Triple-A Lehigh Valley. He will report Sunday afternoon.

A nurse who was duped by two Australian radio DJs seeking information on Kate Middleton's hospitalization earlier this week has been found dead in an apparent suicide, according to the hospital.
In a statement to TVGuide.com, King Edward VII Hospital said that Jacintha Saldanha was found dead Friday morning near the hospital and was the recent "victim of a hoax call." Scotland Yard is treating the death as a possible suicide.
"Our thoughts and deepest sympathies at this time are with her family and friends," hospital CEO John Lofthouse said in the statement. "Everyone is shocked by the loss of a much-loved and valued colleague."
On Tuesday, Australian DJs Mel Greig and Michael Christian called the hospital at 5:30 a.m. as part of their show. Greig and Christian put on British accents and pretended to be the Queen of England and Prince Charles, asking to speak with "my granddaughter Kate," who was hospitalized Monday for acute morning sickness. Saldanha, who was working at the reception desk at the time, provided details about Middleton's condition that were broadcast on the air. Audio of the prank call was published by several websites Wednesday and Thursday.
See photos of Kate Middleton
After a public rebuke from the hospital, the radio station issued an apology Wednesday, saying: "We were very surprised that our call was put through. We thought we'd be hung up on as soon as they heard our terrible accents. We're very sorry if we've caused any issues and we're glad to hear that Kate is doing well."The station and the DJs have yet to comment on Saldanha's death. The hospital added Friday that it had been "supporting [Saldanha] throughout this difficult time."
Middleton, who was discharged Thursday, and Prince William also issued a statement Friday after hearing the news.
"The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are deeply saddened to learn of the death of Jacintha Saldanha," the statement read. "Their royal highnesses were looked after so wonderfully well at all times by everybody at King Edward VII Hospital, and their thoughts and prayers are with Jacintha Saldanha's family, friends and colleagues at this very sad time."Saldanha had worked at the hospital for more than four years.

Our Zippered Checkbook & Card Holder takes a standard checkbook holder and upgrades it, making it a more secure way to hold your checks. And with all the features inside, it's easy to see why it's such a hit! Made with hand folded corners and turned edge construction, this leather Zippered Checkbook & Card Holder boasts many of the features of a traditional wallet, like 5 credit card slots and an ID window with a thumb slide. The main feature is the checkbook holder, and we include a flexible pen loop with it to accommodate writing utensils of any size. And with the zipper closure on the outside, you can zip it all up securely so nothing falls out. Our Zippered Checkbook & Card Holder truly brings the best of 2 worlds together!
Our Classico leather collection is a semi-aniline, drum dyed pebbled leather. It offers a little extra color and character, making it a good choice when you want your accessories to stand out. This full grain leather has a soft hand feel with intricate lines, giving it a distinct look from our smoother leathers like Vero and Zita. It comes in a wide variety of colors that you won't find in our other collections and has a polished finish to make them really shine. Its unique appearance and range of colors make it ideal for matching with purses, belts, or other leather items you own.
My husband loved it and received wallet before our 12th anniversary.
Beautiful leather....very pleased with this product .
Love my new checkbook holder -- they are hard to find now days since hardly anyone but me apparently writes check anymore -- but thankfully this company still makes them and this one is perfect. Thanks very much!!!
Excellent Quality and as advertised. I would like more places for credit cards on the other side.
This is my first purchase with Leatherology. I am very impressed with the product and the timeliness of delivery. I will be shopping with your company in the future. I want to thank you for the quality of the product and the service.
Good quality just as promised. Heavy zipper soft leather. Pen holder big for a fat pen. Big enough to hold receipts and several cards.
Looks good.
the title says it all:quality product!
I didn't realize that there is a slot for cash under the card slots so that was a nice surprise. It has just enough slots for all my cards and I love that it zips. My only complaint is even though the pen loop is elasticated if your pen is any bigger than a cross century the wallet won't zip. I wish the pen loop would be next to the checkbook. Also a slot on the outside of the wallet or more papers would be great to. Besides that it's perfect.
The pen holder fits all size pens and the zipper goes around the corners smoothly. The leather feels wonderful in your hands, soft and supple.
I have been searching for a quality checkbook cover and found this one at Leatherology. Exactly what I wanted, top quality leather, smooth zipper closure ! I highly recommend this product!
I love it. Looks and feels good. Even smells good. Well made. Worth every penny.
Teriffic piece of leather
It's very nice but the combination of a credit card holder and a checkbook holder is rather strange. It's very handy.
Fast and gorgeous!!
I was very pleased with this purchase, the quality is wonderful & I love the color. I also purchased this because it is slim and not bulky. Very nice!
A very nice product. My wife liked it a lot. I got something in gold put on the front: the lettering may be a little large for the wallet. I felt like it may take away from the femininity of it a little bit. Otherwise a very nice leather product.
The product is just what I wanted. My husband will be very pleased with the gift. Thanks.
Overall love the product, only small problem, when pen is in there, zipper slightly hangs up. Otherwise, very nice.
My wife has needed a suitable checkbook for a long time (seems like years). By random I came across the Leatherology web site, and I purchased the 126.265. She loves it. There is room for driver's license, credit cart, checkbook, check book register, and her favorite pen. I really got some points for that gift.
Great buy good product
Great look, chic and sleek to have it in your purse. Just love it.
This checkbook wallet is exactly what I was looking for and the quality is what you would expect from items costing 2-3 times more! The wallet arrived quickly and was impressively packaged which is great if you are buying this as a gift! I will definitely go to the Leatherology site for any future leather purchases!
I have purchased several other products from Leatherology in the past. This item was no different, received in great condition, high quality, a perfect gift!
I ordered it as a Christmas gift as my sister ordered one for my mom and I do like it I hope my friend does as well. Very impressive presentation of the gift.
It was a little small but ok.
Excellent quality a product to be proud of. Excellent gift that is packaged nicely.
Excellent product, very high quality.
This item was received in a timely manner. It is of superior quality and exactly what I wanted. I would not hesitate to recommend this service to others looking for the very best in customer service.
We like it! it is simple and elegant! add quality material and craftsmanship is exactly what we looked for! thanks!
I was amazed at the quality of this wallet. The zipper is strong and the stitching is clean. I am very happy with my purchase and know it was worth every penny.
This is great little addition to my de-cluttering. The leather is great quality. I thought it came with a check divider but, no luck in returning it since I had it monogrammed.
This is exactly what I'd been looking for---love it
BEAUTIFUL - just perfect. I had it monogramed -made it just gorgeous. Thank you for your attention to detail and excellent workmanship.
This is just what I've been looking for! Beautiful leather, well constructed, zips smoothly and fits into my handbag. I plan to buy another and I'll be looking more closely at all of the Leatherology products.
Whether you are treating yourself or giving a gift to someone else, we want you to have an amazing and memorable experience. All items will be shipped using our signature gift packaging. Depending on the type and size, your item(s) will come wrapped in our signature microsuede sleeve, drawstring bag or soft velour bag (each with black tie accents), and be packaged inside a high-density bronze gift box.

..and the whole "bandwidth hog" thing is crap anyway. So, you have an OC3 connection feeding hundreds of customers that have purchased a 5mbps connection. Then a "bandwidth hog" comes in and uses a bit of it. Hey, he's paying for the 5mbps connection that you advertised. Then everyone's connection slows down because you failed to account for people actually using their connection speeds.
It's simple math. 5Mbps * 100 customers = 500Mbps.

Outdoor Recreationists Should Take Precautions Against Cold Temperatures, Swift Currents When in or Near Water
Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) warns outdoor water recreationists to take precautions against cold and swift rivers and streams as the state's abundant snowpack begins melting faster as temperatures rise.
This year's deep snowfall and cool spring has left California's overall snowpack at more than three times its usual water content as of June 1, meaning snowmelt will be more rapid than usual when temperatures rise. In the northern part of the state alone, the snowpack is more than five times its usual June 1 average.
The spring snowmelt will result in swift and cold river flows that can create treacherous conditions for recreationists – waders, swimmers, paddlers, boaters, anglers and even hikers cooling off at the water's edge. As warmer weather and longer days begin melting snow in mountainous regions, water temperatures will drop and flows will continue to rise in waterways and reservoirs.
Most PG&E reservoirs are expected to fill and water to flow over dam spillways through July. In preparation for snowmelt, PG&E has been allowing space in reservoirs so that it can absorb much of the fast runoff and better control downstream water flows.
"We are now observing snow quantities that we normally don't see beyond April 1," said Alvin Thoma, director of PG&E's power generation department. "Additionally, the snow pack has a very high water content. Added all together, a warm spell can significantly increase the flow of cold water in our rivers."
Thoma advises those planning outings near mountain streams, rivers and reservoirs to be extra vigilant and take appropriate safety measures. Water flows will fluctuate with the warming and cooling of the day so always be prepared for changing conditions.
At this time of year with most reservoirs being full or close to full, summer thunderstorms in the high country can result in sudden, sometimes unexpected increases in downstream river flows much in excess of this year's large snowmelt runoff.
Here are some safety tips:
Know the Water
- Sudden immersion in cold water can stimulate the "gasp reflex" causing an involuntary inhalation of air or water. It can even trigger cardiac arrest, temporary paralysis, hypothermia and drowning. When faced with swift water, even the strongest swimmers may be easily overwhelmed.
- Cold water entering the ear canal can cause vertigo and disorientation. This may confuse swimmers, causing them to venture deeper into the water.
Know your limits
- Swimming in open water is more difficult than in a swimming pool – people tire more quickly and can get into trouble.
- Cold water causes impairment leading to fatalities. It reduces body heat 25-30 times faster than air does at the same temperature.
- Many unseen obstacles can be lurking below the water's surface. Swift water can make these obstacles even more treacherous.
Wear a life jacket
- Conditions change quickly in open water and even the best swimmers can misjudge the water and their skills when boating or swimming. Wearing a life jacket can increase survival time.
- A life jacket can provide some thermal protection against the onset of hypothermia and keep you afloat until someone else can rescue you.
Parental Supervision
- Actively supervise children in and around open bodies of water, giving them your undivided attention. Appoint a designated "water watcher," taking turns with other adults.
- Teach children that swimming in open water is not the same as swimming in a pool: they need to be aware of uneven surfaces, river currents, ocean undertow and changing weather.

If it's time for a new roof, you want to be sure the job not only meets your budget, but is done well. E.M Blue, an Atlanta roofing company, offers some good advice on their website.
A few of the tips the company offers when looking to have a roofing job done revolve around getting to know your roof and what you really need ahead of time and working with local contractors. Other tips include making sure your roofing contractor has liability insurance, have a good track record, and has a permanent business. I've had guys show up on my doorstep offering fantastic roofing deals. If you have the same thing happen to you, don't fall for it. The company also recommends not paying for the roofing job in full until it is completed.

Landfill is failing its community
I would like to respond to two of The Times Argus recent editorials regarding the Moretown Landfill, or more appropriately the Moretown dump.
I have lived on Route 2 in Moretown for 30 years. My husband and I built our home here and raised our two sons here. We have a lot of emotional investment in this property.
The dump as we know it now did not exist 30 years ago. We did not build our home here anticipating a place where we would be forced to smell landfill gases every single day. The odor is not even random as it could have been described even five years ago. It now is constant, daily and so excessive that it literally affects us every day of our lives.
No one, even the engineers from Weston & Sampson who have developed the odor control burn-off and elimination process at the dump, can tell us what we are inhaling. They literally dont know. They refer to it as landfill gas, which is apparently a combination of a host of different things. What they are when we inhale them, or what they break down to, is apparently either unknown or undisclosed.
I am aware that the dump has put out a lot of information recently about loss of revenues to the town of Moretown, as well as disposal issues for the entire state. There are solutions to this problem. There are two other permitted sites in the state of Vermont that could be used, when it becomes necessary. The state is also moving toward a zero-waste concept. Both of these could alleviate the concerns that are being circulated.
The dump has been operated without any restraint for many years. They have also had many years to address and perfect their off-site odor issues. They either do not actually have technology available to do this, or an even worse case scenario they wont do it.
They are being heavy-handed at this point, because it appears that they are not going to be allowed to freewheel through the process. It is clearly not the fault of the neighbors that trash will have to be handled differently or that some of the personnel will be laid off. This is a product of thumbing their noses at the concerns of neighbors, who had been very understanding of them in the past. They have had ample opportunity to address neighbors concerns, almost two decades in fact, and they havent. The reasoning doesnt matter at this point.

OMB proposes to eliminate, consolidate 376 reports
Wednesday - 1/9/2013, 4:37pm EST
Agencies have identified 376 reports due to Congress that either are redundant or unnecessary. And the Office of Management and Budget wants to eliminate or consolidate them.
OMB published the list on Performance.gov today, detailing information from 29 agencies, including the suggestion to streamline this report on duplication just sent to Congress.
The Government Performance and Results Modernization Act of 2010, passed in December of 2010, required OMB to develop a list and submit it in the fiscal 2014 budget.
"These are Congressionally-required reports, so Congress needs to enact legislation to eliminate or modify them," said an administration official in an emailed statement to Federal News Radio.
Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.), who was a lead sponsor of the GPRA modernization, said he will work with fellow lawmakers to get rid of these reports.
"Over the years, federal agencies have been instructed to expend considerable staff time and other resources producing thousands of reports, yet we never look back to see if these reporting requirements might be outdated, duplicative, or even relevant," he said in a statement. "If these reports are sitting on a shelf collecting dust, then it's time for them to go. Congress should take every opportunity to create a more effective and efficient government, and the elimination of these outdated reports is one step in that direction. We will review this information and work with the agencies and OMB to introduce legislation that will eliminate or modify these unnecessary reporting requirements."
OMB recommends:
- Consolidating 47 reports
- Eliminating 269 reports
- Reducing the frequency of 31
- Streamlining 29
It also wants to cut 26 reports from its own list, including eliminating the E-Government report and a report to Congress on the the performance benefits of IT programs. Additionally, OMB wants to streamline this very report to Congress by delivering it every other year in order to focus on working with lawmakers to get rid of unnecessary reports.
Agencies, independent of the GPRA Modernization Act, have been trying to reduce the number reports to Congress over the last few years. The Defense Department, for example, found it sent more than 700 reports to Congress in fiscal 2009. Former Defense Secretary Robert Gates made reducing and consolidating these reports a major part of his efficiency initiatives, launched in August 2010.
In DoD's 2012 budget estimates, the Pentagon said it spends $275 million a year on creating these reports and studies, and the goal is to reduce the number by 25 percent, focusing on "all non-essential, lesser-value reports, including all reports generated by DoD Issuances that are 5 years or older."
DoD has been working with "Congress on ways to meet their needs while working together to reduce the number of reports and non-discretionary Federal Advisory Committees requirements."

Keratoplasty - discharge; Penetrating keratoplasty - discharge
You had a corneal transplant. Most of the tissue of your cornea (the clear surface on the front of your eye) was replaced with tissue from a donor. During your surgery, a small round piece of your cornea was taken out. Then the donated cornea was sewn onto the opening of your eye.
Your surgeon may have used a newer technique in which only certain layers of the cornea are transplanted. Recovery is often faster with this method.
Numbing medicine was injected into the area around your eye so you did not feel any pain during surgery. You may have taken a sedative to help you relax.
The first stage of healing will take about 3 weeks. After this, you will likely need contact lenses or glasses. These may need to be changed or adjusted several times in the first year after your transplant.
Do not touch or rub your eye. Your doctor will give you an eye patch to wear for about 1 to 4 days. This protects the new cornea from injury. You doctor may also give you an eye shield for sleeping, showering, or bathing. After you take off the eye patch, you will probably need to wear dark sunglasses during the day.
You should not drive, operate machinery, drink alcohol, or make any major decisions for at least 24 hours after surgery. The sedative will take this long to fully wear off. Before it does, it may make you very sleepy and unable to think clearly.
Limit activities that could make you fall or increase pressure on your eye, such as climbing a ladder or dancing. Avoid heavy lifting. Stay away from dust and blowing sand.
Follow your doctor's instructions for using eye drops carefully. The drops help prevent infection. They also help prevent your body from rejecting your new cornea.
Follow up with your doctor as directed. You may need to have stitches removed, and your doctor will want to check your healing and eyesight.

And Thus Endeth The Great New York City Cycling Experiment
A few weeks back, there was a series of violent bike thefts on the Willis Avenue Bridge between Manhattan and the Bronx:
The latest incident occurred on Nov. 1, when a 34-year-old man rode his bike over the Willis Avenue Bridge at 6:15 a.m. Police say two men grabbed the rider off his bike and began to hit him in the face with a metal pipe. Emergency medics on the scene suspected that his nose was broken and took him to the hospital.
So what did the police do? They set up a sting operation in which undercover officers dressed as cyclists, and then they arrested all the assailants involved. Furthermore, there's now a patrol stationed there to make sure cyclists can pass over the bridge safely.
Just kidding!
No, actually what they're doing is ticketing cyclists for riding on the bike path:
Rienti says the officer told him that the precinct had received complaints about cyclists using the path. Rienti told the officer that it's a shared-use path where cyclists are allowed. "He sort of just shrugged his shoulders and wrote the ticket," Rienti said. "I thought he was going to give me some sort of warning."
And not only did they ding this guy for riding legally on a bike path, but then they dinged the poor guy again on the way home:
Update: Rienti says in a followup e-mail that he received another ticket on his commute home tonight on the Willis Avenue Bridge after an officer brushed away the DOT bike route information Rienti showed him. "He told me that you can only bike where there is a sign telling you it's okay," Rienti said, adding that he also plans to fight the second ticket in court.
You've got to admire the efficiency here. A few years back, the NYPD came up with the bright idea of parking in the bike lane, forcing cyclists to ride around them, and then ticketing the cyclists for leaving the bike lane. Of course, it's perfectly legal to leave the bike lane if you need to do so. Therefore, they've clearly realized that if they're going to give you a ticket for something that's perfectly legal, they might as well dispense with the trouble of setting up a blockade and instead just make up some shit about how "you can only bike where there is a sign telling you it's okay." And since, to my knowledge, there are very, very few signs that explicitly tell you "it's okay to bike here," that pretty much allows them to give you a ticket for simply being on a bike anywhere at any time.
Meanwhile, you already know this, but it bears mentioning that it's still totally acceptable to attempt to run down a cyclist with your taxicab and then sever a woman's leg in the process as she enjoys a frankfurter on the sidewalk:
Of course, nobody wants this to happen, and fortunately the president of the New York State Federation of Taxi Drivers has come up with an innovative solution:
Mr. Himon could not be reached for comment. But Fernando Mateo, president of the New York State Federation of Taxi Drivers, issued a statement calling the crash a "tragic accident" and suggesting that the appropriate response would be stricter regulation of cyclists.
This is such a staggeringly huge "Fuck You" to pretty much everybody in New York City that I'm surprised the New York Times isn't making a bigger deal of it.
Just kidding!
No, the Grey Lady's cataracts have left her pretty much blind to the fact that pedestrians are getting picked off by cars on a daily basis and that virtually all of the drivers receive the full protection of the city and state.
I went trough a period of being moronically optimistic with regard to the future of cycling in New York City when we started getting all this fancy infrastructure, but I have to admit I'm now thoroughly embarrassed and am reverting to the traditional "Every man, woman, and child for him-or-herself" mode. It's pretty sad how they rolled out those bike lanes, lured a bunch of people onto their bikes, and then systematically kicked them all in the groin one by one, but in retrospect it's not surprising. It's hard not to want to make a point of violating as many traffic laws as possible while cycling, because at least that way when you get a ticket for some bullshit offense like "operating a bicycle with an even number of wheels on a numbered street" you'll at least have amortized the cost of the fine. You have to figure if you run 200 lights in a week and then get a $200 ticket for "cycling in a northerly direction while breathing" at least you've paid only a buck a light.
Meanwhile, these two are still at it:
USA Today reports that Landis' lawyers will argue that the Wartime Suspension of Limitations act applies to the qui tam suit as the alleged federal fraud – the doping programme at US Postal – occurred in part while the United States was at war with Afghanistan.
The newspaper quotes Tony Anikeeff, an attorney with the Williams Mullen, who explained the background of the Wartime Suspension of Limitations Act. "It is a highly controversial provision of the False Claims Act. It is used by the Justice Department mostly in dealing with fraud in Afghanistan because we were at war," Anikeef said.
I admit I don't fully grasp the ethical implications of the Wartime Suspension of Limitations Act, but whatever they are they certainly pale in comparison to the importance of settling a stupid doped-up Lycra-clad cat fight. Maybe I can invoke the some kind of wartime defense the next time I get a ticket for riding a bicycle within 200 feet of a sidewalk--because this is America, and when the fuck isn't it wartime?
Anyway, it's remarkable that so many people and media outlets expend so much energy on a scandal within a sport that is marginally less exciting than curling. Really, the only way you could make stage racing more tedious would be to put it into board game form--which, incredibly, someone is now trying to do:
And, for which, even more incredibly, he wants $25,000:
Though when you look at those exquisite game pieces you begin to understand why:
Yeah, those wads of used chewing gum aren't going to paint themselves.
Oh, you're also allowed to "cut off a rider:"
You can cut off a rider if you want to slow him down but remember that he can do the same to you next time so be careful with whom you mess.
Which is how you know it was designed by a Cat 4. That's also how you know, despite the placeholder text, that there will ultimately be a card for "Sprints on the hoods, crashes self and half the field:"
It's hard to imagine a circumstance in which I'd play this game. I suppose I might consider it if I were snowed in for a period of weeks and there was no electricity, but then again I'd probably eat it to stay alive before I'd ever resort to actually playing it.
Lastly via CommieCanuck, if you're looking for a succinct overview of the Rob Ford scandal, here you go:
If nothing else, it makes me oddly proud that, in many ways, his profound hate for cyclists is what got him to where he is today.

Babble has a new helment. Yea Cleaveland. Snob, I'm just speachless about what passes for logic in New York. Maybe the cyclists who got beat up should feel lucky they didn't get cited for loitering. I guess they couldn't get ticketed for biking illegally because they didn't have a bike.

Road Queen,
Don't ride your bike in Los Angeles either.
A single rider was recently ticketed on a group ride for taking the lane, which the law permits.
In most parts of L.A., it's understood that cyclists using roads are all poor, fringe-worker types, probably mentally ill and doing drugs at their jobs in restaurant kitchens. PD don't bother them because restaurant owners can't be without their back kitchen help!
A group ride is a visible threat. So, maybe L.A. is a little better. Just ride alone. And don't ask the PD to enforce law for cyclists. - November 18, 2013 at 1:10 PM

I guess it's safer handing out tickets to cyclists for no good reason than it is hunting down the bastards who are beating cyclists in the face with metal pipes, then stealing their bikes.

perhaps everyone has to adjust their spellcheck because "cyclists" and "drivers" sound like gang affiliations.

Doing as little work as possible to get through the shift's donut and ticket quota is obviously a major cop motivation. But beyond that, there seems to be a perverse drive to find the most abusive ways of doing it.
Remember the Clarkson St. ticket trap for cyclists exiting the Hudson River bikeway we read about on Wildsnob a few months back? It takes work to come up with crap like that and the Willis Ave. Bridge thing, when there are cyclists actually breaking traffic laws all over the place whom they could hassle.

The whole NYPD craziness is just another manifestation of the fact that America hasn't actually been a democracy for a long time. It's a fucking corporatocracy, you won't get your rights back without a bloody war. Trouble is, almost everyone is unaware of just how much is at stake, and how badly they've been duped.
And it's worse still up here. We've gone and elected the dictator from hell. Harper's last stand will definitely be the Tar Sands.
Sigh. Monday. Meh. - November 18, 2013 at 1:54 PM
A few months back there were repeat attacks on cyclists up north on the hudson greenway, the cops did nothing in response to that. Looks like the same response to the Willis Ave Bridge attacks. I was jogging in Riverside park last month and came across a the scene of a multiple stabbing. While we attended to the wounded and stood over the attacker (a citizen took him down) and waited for the cops to come which took about 10 minutes, I wondered how come there are no cops on patrol in this park? I asked myself the same thing a couple days earlier when a family was chased for about 10 minutes on a weekend afternoon on the west side highway by a large group of motorcyclists (after several calls to 911). The bikers eventually caught the guy pulled him from the car and beat the shit out of him in broad day light on a busy street in the middle of the city and where were the fucking cops? (turns out a couple off duty cops were with the attacking bikers). I wrote a letter to the NY Times about this, no response of course (as we know they are too busy with hard news stories). Police commissioner Ray Kelly's immediate response to the stabbings was to be defensive and say that there are very few crimes in the city's parks (tell that to one of the people who just had been stabbed). I use the park just about every day and even the day after the attack there was zero noticable police presence there? What the fucking fuck!

I think I could really only understand that Taiwanese Ford video in a drunken stupor.
He's eating cats, his pants are gone, he has magically grown more hair, and he seem to be humping a beaver at parts. Charlie Brown is wearing a Charlie Sheen mask and they all get their crack at Tim Snortins. All in gorgeous 3D rendering.
To make things even more bizarre, the local Toronto AM radio station cancelled their radio show, but, SunTV, a local conservative shite TV channel, will now have a weekly TV show starring the Fords, which Hollywood is watching intently, as Fox TV is thinking if giving Robs a reality TV show.
We used to gloat about Rush Limbaugh not being up in America's reservoir tip, but we smart-bombed you guys with Ted Cruz (who we thought we had aborted) and now Robs Fords.

BTW, Toronto Police setup a bike theft sting in the 90s. They caught 21 people in 2 hours, and had to stop the sting because the bike got stolen, FROM THE COPS WHILE WATCHING IT. They announced they would not do it again because it was "too much paper work."

The bad news is when there is a 'bug' that results in deaths and amputations, the answer will still be 'no criminality suspected'.
Eventually we will have created our own version of 'Transformers', and the robot cars will see us for the fat, lazy and stupid pieces of shit that we are and just take over.

The Daily News has better piktors of the accident scene. No idea whether the rider was wearing a healment, but given that the crappy old 10 speed has:
-no brakes
-no bar tape
-no lights or reflectors
-kinda seems like it still has stem mounted shifters, which leads me to believe that it also freewheels.
I'm going to make an educated guess that the minimalist rider was not wearing a healment. - November 18, 2013 at 4:48 PM
Wow, that video was weird. I think my understanding of the Ford Saga has been diminished greatly.

I've often been told to get OFF the f***ing road, but my best ever experience was riding on a shared cycle/footpath beside a busy two-lane road with no shoulder even if I did want to ride on it. A guy on a Japarley motorcycle rides slowly past me on the road and screams "get ON the f***ing road". He wants me to ride ON the road? I'm sure the whole lane of traffic I held up would love that. I chased him down, which was easy as the traffic was so slow and he headed for the police station for "protection" from me. Policeman outside listened to his side of the story, then told him to be on his way, then listened to me. I saw the guy a few times on other days after that and always gave him a (genuinely) friendly wave to which he always snarled in reply.

Fulham saw a two-goal lead slip away as Sunderland fought back to draw 2-2 at the Stadium of Light on Saturday afternoon.
Dimitar Berbatov's penalty and Sascha Riether's first goal for the Club set Fulham on their way, but Craig Gardner's spot-kick reduced the deficit before half-time.
The home side pressed in the second period and found an equaliser through Stephane Sessegnon with 20 minutes of the match remaining.
The Black Cats looked more dangerous in the closing stages - although Fulham, too, had their chances - but it's the home side who will be happier with the point.
Martin Jol named an unchanged side from the one that defeated Stoke City 1-0 seven days ago at Craven Cottage, with former Black Cat Kieran Richardson amongst the substitutes having recovered from injury.
The home side made a promising start and won a corner within the first minute. John O'Shea got on the end of Adam Johnson's near-post delivery but his glanced header fell just short.
Ashkan Dejagah took a tumble in the area following a kick by Craig Gardner on quarter of an hour and, after hesitation, referee Mark Halsey pointed to the spot. Up stepped Berbatov to coolly pass into the bottom right-hand corner of the net but the home crowd were incensed after the referee seemed to initially have ruled no foul.
On 25 minutes, just moments after he'd saved a Steve Fletcher header, Mark Schwarzer pumped a long ball forwards which Dejagah read perfectly as it bounced over Gardner's head. The winger was through but had his angles against him as he flashed an effort wide on his weaker left foot.
The lead was doubled on 34 minutes as Riether opened his account for the Whites. A Sunderland corner was headed clear by Berbatov to Dejagah who had space to run into. The Iran international galloped forward before playing in Bryan Ruiz down the right. He waited for Dejagah to overlap before finding his teammate once again. Dejagah's cross-cum-shot was palmed away by Simon Mignolet straight into Riether's path and the full-back, who had bust a gut to join the attack, tapped into an empty net.
The two-goal advantage was short-lived, though, as Sunderland were almost instantly awarded a penalty of their own. Philippe Senderos was adjudged to have pulled Danny Graham back in the box and Gardner stepped up to thump the ball into the back of the net from 12 yards.
The Stadium of Light was a cauldron of noise now and the crowd were vociferous once more on 43 minutes when Sessegnon's fierce effort was chested out for a corner by Schwarzer.
Sunderland continued their pressure after the break and Graham should perhaps have done better when he poked straight at Schwarzer from 10 yards.
A magnificent crossfield pass from Riether on 56 minutes found Damien Duff in space down the left with no marker in sight. The Irishman played a ball in that Mignolet half-punched away in Berbatov's direction but the striker was unable to get in a shot.
Alfred N'Diaye was beginning to boss the centre of the park after a quiet opening half and the powerful midfielder first went close with a rasping drive from distance before heading harmlessly over the bar minutes later. Jol looked to counter the threat of N'Diaye by introducing Emmanuel Frimpong for Giorgos Karagounis on 65 minutes.
Fulham were denied an exquisite third on 70 minutes and were punished seconds later when Sunderland went up the other end to equalise. Berbatov played a square ball to Ruiz on the edge of the area and continued his run, with the Costa Rican finding him with a lofted through ball. Berbatov's volleyed effort was expertly blocked by Mignolet, which was the first moment of the move that led to Sunderland's goal.
The Black Cats quickly moved the ball up the pitch and it fell to Sessegnon who confidently finished just inside the post to take his tally of goals against Fulham to two for the season.
A fine piece of skill from Berbatov on 76 minutes saw him evade two defenders to set himself through on goal. The subsequent shot was too close to Mignolet, though, who saved comfortably.
With Sunderland on top, Jol looked to inject some urgency into Fulham's play with the introduction of Urby Emanuelson, who took the place of Duff. Hugo Rodallega then entered the action, with the highly impressive Dejagah the man withdrawn.
The Black Cats pressed for an elusive winner but it wasn't forthcoming as both sides were forced to settle for a point.
