I ordered this (luckly on an awesome sale) in the white color, and for whatever silly reason I ordered a size down, I'm usually so good at reading reviews but for whatever reason I didn't see others advice. SIZE UP FOR THE LENGTH!
The top is very short (not belly bearing) too short to be worn alone, I'll probably save it to wear under sweaters this fall and winter.
The sleeves, while adding a nice detail, are so sheer that my nude bra strap is clearly visible, so if you plan to wear this top without a sweater, vest or cardi, you should plan on wearing a strapless bra with it.
Very disapointed with purchase.

Love it
I purchased this in Blue and then again in white. I am not a huge fan of white but I loved the cut so much I had to get another and the white one was the only one in my size. Please keep this cut in stock!

great top
It's a great basic white top, but with some added design. Love it.
August 16, 2013
Comfortable & Chic
This shirt was even better than I anticipated. It is so soft and comfortable, but still has a classy, chic look. The (blue) color was just as bright and fun as it showed on the site. Definitely recommend.
For sizing purposes, I am 5'5", 145 pounds. I ordered the Medium, and it is a great fit. Not too tight, not too snug.
July 31, 2013
Size Up - It Shrinks!
I normally wear a Medium in Limited shirts, but I decided to size up to a Large because I wanted it to fit looser. Thank goodness I did, as other reviewers noted, it shrinks after the first wash! I'll still wear it, but would not buy it again.
July 17, 2013
Too short
I ordered this in the blue, and expected it to be the same length and size as all the other layering tops I've bought from the Limited. As much as I absolutely LOVED the color and the style, it was significantly shorter than the others. Too short to keep, sent it back.

cute casual shirt
I'm really happy with this tee. Being it was called a tee I wasn't expecting what I received but I'm happy non the less. It's cool and airy. Not to long or to short...just perfect. I'm 5'8".
Nice casual summer top.
I usually order a size Med but needed a large in this top
June 16, 2013
Comfy Bliss
Loved this shirt with knit sleeve detailing on both the new shorts in the latest collection and on the Outback collection shorts. It's soft and roomy, giving it the perfect relaxed fit. This is definitely something I'm going to love traveling with.

The only hard and fast rule of Noisebridge is be excellent to each other. Everything else is dicta.
Contents |
- Noisebridge is a place for hacking, hackers, and learning to hack.
- Noisebridge operates by do-ocracy and consensus.
- The Noisebridge Vision describes what we are for, and what we are about.
- If you disagree with your fellow hacker it would be excellent to work out your differences with them.
- If you cannot work out your differences one-on-one, it would be excellent to work out your differences through mediation.
Entrance and Membership
- You do not need to be a member to hack at Noisebridge or participate in the community here.

Conflict and Emergency
- It is excellent to do-ocratically remove someone who is disrupting Noisebridge, or dangerous.
- If someone asks you to leave, it is generally better to leave and return at the next Tuesday meeting than to refuse to leave.
- If you remove someone like this, you should email noisebridge-discuss, and raise it at the next meeting.
- If someone is removed from the space like this, they shouldn't return to the space except to work out the issue that resulted in their removal, either through mediation, or by attending the weekly meeting.
Do Not Want

Why Publish These Standards
It is important for regular users of the space to be aware of the purpose of Noisebridge. If people want to use the space and have no interest in or respect for hacking, this does not mean they are automatically unwelcome at Noisebridge, but they should thoroughly understand that their use of the space is tangential to its purpose and at the discretion of the membership and other stakeholders.

Bought this coffee maker as one of the birthday gifts for my significant other. This is a very nice Keurig coffee maker; compact and brews coffee just how we like it. It is easy to use and it brews coffee quickly. I was afraid that it will not heat up the water, but it proved me wrong. I am thinking of buying one for my work!
The Keurig B130 is a small no-frills Keurig model. Dimensions are approximately 11" H x 7" W x 10.5" deep. Since it's a commercial model (like you might find in a hotel room), it has instructions printed on the front panel, which you may find helpful or unsightly. Water must be put into the reservoir for every use. Clean-up involves wiping down any tiny spatters on the unit and washing out the drip tray--very easy. After two months of 2 - 4 times per day use, I've found the Keurig B130 to be pretty good. It brews a cup of coffee or tea within a few minutes and brews hot enough for a decent extraction. (Though tea never comes out very good with any Keurig--just not enough brew time.) The need to put water in each time is fine with me, since water that sits around doesn't taste as good anyway and pouring in the water is simple and straightforward. I've found that 6 - 7 oz of water per k-cup is optimal for a flavorful brew, though if you prefer a milder cup, the machine will take up to 8. Downsides: the machine seems a bit rickety, like it may not have great longevity. This seems to be a problem with all Keurig brewers. I've yet to hear of one lasting more than 2 or 3 years with daily use. A bigger issue with the B130 involves use of an Ekobrew Reusable K-Cup filter. Sometimes it works fine and sometimes the machine ejects the Ekobrew mid-cycle, spewing hot, saturated coffee grounds (i.e. lava that stains) everywhere. Varying the grind and the amount of coffee in the filter has made little difference, though it seems better when the filter is filled to the 2/3 line instead of 3/4 and the grind is a bit on the fine side but not powdery-fine. Also, the Ekobrew and some K-cups cause clogging of the outflow pipe on the Keurig (that sharp-ended tube that pokes into the k-cups). When this happens, the Keurig just stops mid-cycle. Sometimes re-starting it will coax it into completing the cycle; sometime adding a little more water helps. I've found that running a cycle or two of plain water usually clears the clog. Once, I had to poke a needle up the tube and root around, which I'm sure is a bad idea. It did work, though. Overall, if you're looking for a reasonably-priced Keurig brewer and don't mind one with diagrams on the front, and if you don't mind the expense of K-cups, I'd say the B130 is a solid option.
Love Keurig. Have a larger one at home. This one makes one cup of coffee at a time and you have to add the water separately for each cup of coffee. Not an idea situation for home but for my office, where this one is, it is great. Keeps water for becoming stagnant and my co-workers can use it too. Only thing I'd like to see different is that I wish it would hold a few more ounces of water so each cup could have more liquid. Still it is a great machine for the office and it was a great price.
I was looking for a small footprint instead of the regular size. Worked as stated and am pleased with purchase.
I love my Keurig single-cup brewing system. Perfect for one person. The only draw back on this model is that you can only make 8 oz. at a time and the opening to place the cup is too narrow for a mug. Only a small coffee cup will fit. I wish the opening on this model was wider and it would make more than 8 oz.
This is the simplest coffee maker ever! It makes great coffee and I can choose whatever I want in the K-cups. It doesn't take up much space and within 3 minutes I have my hot coffee ready to drink. I just love it.
I am very happy with this little guy. Takes up very little counter space and brews a good cup of coffee
Love these single cup coffee makers.
It's ok maybe for a college dorm room
I had one of these coffee makers and I loved it, which is why I wanted the same model. Overstock had the item at a reasonable price and of course I received it in a timely fashion.

Hipnecks: The sound has been called a "jambalaya" by press and "country fried jam" by fans alike. Rock & roll with hues of bluegrass. It is twangy. It is Ozarkian. It is most certainly Missouri. The Hipnecks have released three full length albums; Just Another Fine Day (2004), American Night (2008), and New Boots, Old Soles (2012). Just in time to be featured on the latest release, Molly Healy joined the band in 2012 on fiddle, cello, & vocals following the retirement of the beloved Missouri hillbilly outfit, Big Smith. |
Man in the Ring is the beloved folk rock band from Columbia. Their music explores numerous genres and artistic aspects. The five piece band, featuring the crowd-pleasing electric violin, is community favorite playing charity events, festivals, and headlining at the nostalgic venues throughout Columbia.With over 50 years of combined musical experience, the band bears an impressive line-up of professional musicians whoaren'tafraid to live up to the challenge of Man in the Ring's constantly evolving sound. |
We Live In Public is a rock and roll band that formed at the end of 2010 in Columbia. They released their first and only full length album, 'One Track Mind' in April of 2013 to a sold-out crowd at local venue, The Bridge. They seamlessly blend elements of rock, blues, jazz, funk, indie, alt-country, folk and others. Powerful harmonies, dueling electric guitars, and clever songwriting tie it all together. Known for their highly energetic shows and lots of long hair, the band regularly performs at many of the local music venues including The Blue Note, Mojo's, The Bridge and others. |
The Junk Band puts a unique spin on percussion. It was formed for First Night (now Columbia Eve Fest) in 2010. Andy Tellman, Brandon Collons, and Seth Cunningham have played in several groups, and each plays and teaches several instruments. No two sets are the same — and the junk isn't either. |

Craft Active Extreme Concept Long Sleeve Women's Top
Craft Active Extreme Concept Long Sleeve Women's Top $79.95
Layer properly, train better.
If you've worn Craft base layers before, you may be wondering just how it's possible to improve upon earlier designs. You'll be impressed once you try on the Craft Active Extreme Concept Women's Base Layer, and it will be obvious that the folks at Craft aren't resting on their laurels, but really putting a lot of thought and effort into keeping their clothes on the cutting edge of performance sportswear.
The Concept Piece Women's Base Layer uses Craft's ultimate fabric, Zero Extreme, and melds it with the Mesh Superlite fabric around the shoulder and back to create the perfect combination of insulation and ventilation. Craft has created this base layer to be a comfortable form-fitting second skin. The wing-like pattern of the upper back and shoulder area allows for the rider to have a complete range of movements, whether you're reaching back into your pockets for a gel pack or crunching up into an aero position for a descent. Craft has used their body mapping techniques for some time now to give their clothes a performance fit. Now they're merging their body mapping cuts with a sport-specific design to suit your cycling needs. That's not to say that you can't wear it jogging or skiing; it just means that it will work perfectly while cycling.
Craft's Zero Extreme technology will succeed in keeping your body's core temperature right in the comfort zone, thereby helping to enhance your performance. For decades now, Craft has been developing materials intended to keep you warm in an arctic winter or cool in Saharan heat. The two fabrics which succeed in fulfilling these large temperature control demands are Pro Zero and Pro Cool, respectively. And the key to the performance of both the fabrics is how well each works to keep the body temperature neutral by keeping it dry.
When merging Craft's these two flagship fabrics, the Zero Extreme combines the moisture wicking genius of the Pro Zero with the moisture transference of the Pro Cool. This means that as you sweat, the Zero fibers pull the moisture away from your body while the Cool fibers pull the dampness to the outer layer of the shirt. Once the moisture reaches the outer layer, the weave of the Pro Cool fiber promotes air circulation which dries the fabric without cooling you off at the same time. The Active Extreme also incorporates an antimicrobial treatment which prevents odor from setting in permanently.
The Craft Active Extreme Concept Women's Base Layer comes in White and is available in X-Small though X-Large sizes.

Tivoli Audio Connector Written By Terrence, Boston, MA on Saturday, December 31, 2011 I have owned a Tivoli Model Three for nearly a decade. This Christmas I gave and received a Connector. I was pumped up about this gift. Unfortunately, now that I have had some time to learn about the functionality (or lack thereof) of the Connector, I am completely disappointed. Don't get me wrong, if all you're going to use the Connector for is to play music from an iPod or iPhone on your Tivoli product, you will be satisfied. BUT, the Connector is useless for viewing video. I am not sure why Tivoli designed this with an S-video output because you CANNOT get audio to go along with your video. For example, I hooked this up to my television with an S-video cable and realized that unless I bring out my own separate speakers, I cannot get sound. In other words, all I can do is watch video from my iPod/iPhone WITHOUT SOUND. That seems incredibly nonsensical. I feel robbed. Tivoli is an audio company. Ironically, the Connector gives you nothing by way of audio options if you want to watch videos of your kids or a downloaded tv show on your television. It seems odd to me that you'd need to cart in your own speakers to watch video on your tv with the Connector. This is such a poor design. I agree with reviews out there that suggest the audio outputs are nonsensical and little more than an afterthought. Pros: The design is great. Works well with other Tivoli products. Cons: Audio outputs for use with anything other than Tivoli products. Also, minor point, but included are 9 custom docking forms, but there are no forms for the at least two of the recent generation iPods (which we have but nothing included by Tivoli fits them). The instructions for the product are also poorly written and somewhat hard to follow. [Editor's Note: Thanks for your review. The Tivoli Audio Connector outputs audio from a stereo mini-jack on its rear panel. If your TV or A/V receiver does not include a mini-jack audio input, you can use a stereo mini-to-RCA cable to make the connection.]
Great product Written By Mike W., Hillsboro, IL. on Tuesday, August 09, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The only reason why I could not give this Ipod dock a perfect score was the price. But even with the extra few bucks I spent for this product I feel that it was money well spent. I took my older Tivoli radio and made it a new favorite for my 16 year old daughter. She loves the sound and the handy remote. I would suggest anybody with a Tivoli that wants to add the option of playing their music they have on an Iphone to buy this product. By the way....Crutchfield product support personell are super!!!!!!!

Record Synopsis
Probate is the "court procedure by which a will is proved to be valid or invalid" and encompasses "all matters and proceedings pertaining to the administration of estates, guardianships, etc."[1] Various types of records are created throughout the probate process. These may include, wills, bonds, petitions, accounts, inventories, administrations, orders, decrees, and distributions. These documents are extremely valuable to genealogists and should not be neglected. In many instances, they are the only known source of relevant information such as the decedent's date of death, names of his or her spouse, children, parents, siblings, in-laws, neighbors, associates, relatives, and their places of residence.

Estates were probated by the Secretary of the Province until 1671 and by the Prerogative Court from 1671 to 1776. Beginning in the 1690s, probates could also have been handled by county courts. Since 1777, probate records have been kept by each county's orphans court and register of wills. The counties also have copies of the pre-1777 records of the Prerogative Court of Maryland. In addition, during the colonial period, dozens of Maryland wills were proved in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury in London, England.

Chordee repair is a surgery to straighten the penis. It is done to repair a birth defect of the penis called chordee . This defect makes the penis curve downward during an erection.
A chordee repair is done by a specialized doctor called a pediatric urologist. The surgery is typically done after six months of age if the penis curvature is greater than 30 degrees. Curvature of the penis greater than 60 degrees can affect sexual function later in life.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
This procedure is done on male infants born with:
After surgery, the penis should function normally.
Complications are rare, but no procedure is completely free of risk. If your child is having the surgery, the doctor will review a list of possible complications, which may include:
Discuss these risks with the doctor before surgery.
The following may be done:
Talk to the doctor about your child's medications and supplements. Your child may need to stop certain medications before the surgery. Your child may also need to take certain medications to prepare for surgery.
Your child will need to have an empty stomach before the procedure. Ask the doctor when your child will need to stop breastfeeding or eating.
Local or general anesthesia will be used. This will block any pain.
Several techniques may be used to straighten the penis. In general, surgery aims to make the longer and shorter sides of the penis equal in length. Techniques may include:
An artificial erection will be created using a special injection. This will confirm that the penis is straight. Bandages will be placed around the penis.
About 1-2 hours—longer if your child is having a more complex procedure
The surgery is usually done in an outpatient setting. Your child will not need to stay in the hospital overnight.
Your child will not feel any pain during surgery. Medication will be given after the procedure to manage pain.
The staff will monitor your child and give him pain medication as needed.
During your stay, the hospital staff will take steps to reduce your child's chance of infection such as:
There are also steps you can take to reduce your child's chances of infection such as:
When your child returns home, do the following to help ensure a smooth recovery:

Love and Rockets: The Covers - Excerpt | |
Written by Mike Baehr | Filed under previews, Mario Hernandez, Love and Rockets, Jaime Hernandez, Gilbert Hernandez, Coming Attractions | 17 Jun 2013 3:05 PM |
We know you've really been wondering what the interior of Love and Rockets: The Covers looks like... how it's laid out, what the recoloring looks like, what it includes. This PDF excerpt should answer your questions, particularly the Editor's Note:
It's a spectacular and dee-luxe production and we want to be sure we're getting everything just right at the printer, so we're taking a little extra time with it and it's now scheduled for September release. Here's a sample of the clear overlay that wraps around the front cover:

The AMD devs have downplayed the importance of this state tracker for the hardware drivers (r600g, etc) because xf86-video-ati isn't too much of a maintenance burden, and not nearly as complex code as Linux DRM or Mesa. So they aren't eager to jump into the generic-xorg-driver soup because the soup they've got is already fine, thanks.
My observations agree: the commit frequency in xf86-video-ati is pretty sparse these days. It was atrociously huge when they did user modesetting, but KMS takes the ugliest code out of the DDX.
If XA matures enough, maybe it literally won't matter whether you pick XA or xf86-video-ati, since both could be viable options. But my feeling is that the AMD devs will keep on supporting xf86-video-ati because that driver works, and unifying the DDX across the drivers doesn't alleviate many burdens for most developers. And as always, the Linux DRM and Mesa continue to be the projects where most of the grinding happens.

"Welcome back, Ziggy!" That's Ziggy, the much-beloved, black cat that belongs to Crowley Lake residents Fred and Patti Stump. Ziggy disappeared early last weekend and still wasn't back Monday morning. As any Eastside cat owner has learned, after three days of being missing, it's rare for a cat to come home again around here. But on Monday morning, Patti Stump decide to try again, and tapped on the closed shed door of a neighbor's place. A hearty and cranky "meow" answered her, and Ziggy was found. Awww. …
If you want to see something really, really, awesome, go take a look at the cool footage of a local weather balloon launched high into space above the Owens Valley this past weekend. Sent up by a group of Bishop students, the video of the balloon exploding high in exquisite slow motion high above the valley is downright amazing. Go to http://spaceweather.com and look under Oct. 11 in the archives. You can also see the CNN interview on youtube at:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBvXwaO6EUE. ...
There was a veritable family reunion of locals up at Rock Creek Resort's Pie in the Sky Café Monday morning, on the (very sad) occasion of it being the last day the resort was open for the season. And it was downright snowy and cold up there, to boot. But that didn't stop Francesa Dover, Darija Francesco, Bill and Connie Snyder, Patti Gilpin, Michelle Hoy, Carol Kavulla, our friend Waldo, Fred and Patti Stump with their niece Liz Bamberg, and Takaye and Bob Takamoto from coming up for that last, precious piece of chef Sue King's famous pies. We'll miss you, o' sweet pear and cheddar. …
Speaking of a sad occasion, Lee Vining's Mono Cone also closes this weekend, after seven straight months on non-stop hamburger flipping for owners Cara and Rocky Audenried, and non-stop culinary pleasure for the rest of us. So get that last strawberry-buttermilk-oreo milk shake with the whipped cream on top and that last pastrami burger with everything on it and those poppers with the scarlet jam and worry about those extra pounds after they are gone back to their winter home near Reno. …
Most locals traveling back and forth between the Bay Area in the winter have seen the Boomtown "all-you-can-eat lobster buffet" sign as they come down the snowy hill into Reno on I-80 East. That buffet is the brainchild of none other than the late Steve Jobs' Syrian-born biological father, Abdulfattah "John" Jandali, who, along with Job's biological mother, gave Jobs up for adoption when the boy was an infant. Jandali lives in Reno and is the general manager of the casino, and is credited with putting the casino on the map with his unique idea. Who could have guessed. ...
Fall is finally here, and the days are warm again, the leaves turning to gold, albeit three weeks later than normal. And Kittredge Sports owner Tom Cage is at it again, spouting weather predictions that will turn your hair grey. It's worth noting he got this last big, wintery storm right within a few days — and he did so back in July when he predicted it. So it might not be wise to laugh at the long-time local. Here's what he said this Monday about the coming winter: "One small storm mid of next week, with a complete change of weather pattern and wet and cold starting on 26 or 27 of the month. I don't see why the (Mammoth Mountain) Ski Area won't open by the end of October. I am still saying wet in Nov. and cold, very wet in Dec. and still cold, warm, dry and wonderful for Jan. and from Feb. 15 to March 19, look out, you are going to need those shovels!" …

Sanchez, Pirates go for sweep vs. Miley, D-backs
If trends continue, don't expect an offensive onslaught in Wednesday afternoon's showdown between the Pirates and D-backs at Chase Field.
For quite some time, Arizona's offense has struggled to hit left-handed pitching, while the Pittsburgh offense has simply struggled to hit.
That bodes well for the pair of southpaws -- Arizona's Wade Miley and Pittsburgh's Jonathan Sanchez -- who take the hill for the finale of a three-game set. The Bucs, winners of the first two, are seeking their first road sweep since June 14-16, 2011, in Houston.
Sanchez, a former Giant, will be pitching his second consecutive start on a familiar National League West mound. He allowed three runs in five innings at Dodger Stadium last week. Although he hasn't seen much success in Phoenix (a 5.61 ERA in 10 outings), Sanchez said the the comfort factor is an added bonus.
"Once you get out there, it doesn't really matter where you are, but I have pitched here a lot," said Sanchez, who has showed unusually solid control and command this year, including during Spring Training. "So I do feel comfortable."
Continuing a trend from last season, Arizona has posted a .121/.241/.197 slash line against lefties in 79 plate appearances.
"It's too early to think about that," D-backs manager Kirk Gibson said. "Last year we weren't very good against lefties, but that doesn't mean it's going to turn out that way this year. With really good pitchers, they are going to shut you down. It's just a matter of whether you can play the rest of the game good enough to win. That's what we focus on."
As for Miley, he had a dead arm early in Spring Training, but his fastball touched 93 mph in his first start last week -- a victory over the Brewers in which he held the Crew to one run in six innings with eight strikeouts.
"I felt good. The ball's coming out kind of live," Miley said of the last start.
D-backs: Reynolds settling in
• Left-hander Matt Reynolds has looked sharp in his first four appearances with the new club. He has yet to allow a run and given up just one hit in five innings.
"He's been real good," Gibson said. "The other day after [Miguel Montero] caught him, he said, 'Now I know why I never got a hit off him.' He's sneaky fast, you can't let the radar gun fool you with him."
Reynolds came over in the trade that sent Ryan Wheeler to the Rockies. Last season with Colorado, Reynolds pitched in 71 games, posting a 4.40 ERA.
Pirates: Huntington hanging onto arms
• The Bucs aren't planning on using their excess of pitching to acquire new bats, general manager Neal Huntington said Tuesday.
"The reality is you can not have enough pitching," Huntington said. "It's the most valued commodity."
Before Tuesday's contest, the club had mustered just 13 runs and 26 hits all season. But they backed Huntington's claim that seven games was far-too-small a sample size with six runs on 11 hits in a come-from-behind win.
Worth noting
• Despite the lefty-lefty matchup, Montero is hitting .417 with a pair of homers off Sanchez in his career.
• Arizona hasn't won a season series against Pittsburgh since the 2009 season and trail 2-0 this year.
• Pirates left fielder Starling Marte has eight hits in his last 17 at-bats -- all on the road.

The legend of El Dorado is centuries old. It is a tantalizing tale of unimaginable riches and fame. It is a tale that has cost men their lives and fortunes. It is a tale that still drives men into the darkest reaches of the remotest stretches of the world. It is the tale of a quest… and in that regard, it is a lot like fishing.
Just like the famous and infamous explorers seeking the treasure of El Dorado, my buddy, Sean, and I spend an inordinate amount of time pouring over maps and charts, haunting the musty aisles of used bookstores, investigating leads and tips and researching equipment to help us in our quest.
Sometimes the payoff is better fishing than we imagined and the contentment of a hard fought victory is great, other times it is frustration, lost flies and bruised egos.
This past weekend we got to experience both as we headed over to El Dorado Park in Long Beach.
El Dorado Park sits on the east side of Long Beach, nestled between the 605 freeway and the San Gabriel River. It is an attractive park with lots of trees, a nature center and four interconnected lakes with a variety of fish and terrain to suit most every fishing style. The lay out of the park belays the fact that is surrounded by tens of thousand of people and homes and is a stone's throw from a major shopping center. For the urban angler craving a little adventure and some possible excitement, it IS an El Dorado of sorts.
We hit the park about mid afternoon, just ahead of a cold front sliding down the West coast and bringing the promise of cooler temps and possibly real rain for the first time in months. Truth be told, there was a bit of a nip in the air, which almost made long sleeves inviting, almost.
The small horseshoe shaped lake near the entrance of the park is known Carp and Bass habitat so we opted to start there. Immediately, Sean began pulling in small panfish on his tried and true hopper-dropper rig.
I on the other hand, kept hanging up in the weeds and submerged brush.
We worked our way around the shoreline with Sean continuing to score hits on his dropper while I continued to foul up and break off flies.
About halfway around, we both started getting light hits on the dropper flies. I kept losing them but Sean managed to pull in a couple of Crappie – his first on the fly. Needless to say, he felt like he had found the elusive treasure for this day's particular quest.
I know one of the nicknames for Crappie is "papermouth", now I know why. They took the fly with barely a ripple or tug and they were lost with anything more than a gentle set.
As we walked further around the lake, I continued to experience hang-ups and fouled lines and a myriad of trifling problems that all add up to a frustrating and non-productive day. Just about the time I seriously considered calling it quits, the lowering sun burst out from behind a band of clouds and washed the lake and trees in a golden-orange hue that was, quite simply, stunningly beautiful.
Now, I know that angling is all about catching fish. But just being there, at that moment and seeing the incredible, fleeting beauty of that lake and those trees awash in the rays of the setting sun was like looking upon a glimmering city of gold — like gazing upon the mythical El Dorado.
And as with many quests for riches and glory, while I did not capture the intended prize, I did walk away a richer man for the effort.
I love this addiction called urban fly fishin'.

The Staggering Cost Of Attending 2013 Super Bowl XLVII
Round trip airfare from New York City: $2,200. Three nights at the local Holiday Inn: $4,500. Two tickets for the Super Bowl in the absolute furthest corner of the Superdome's upper deck: $5,500. Getting to see the big game in person: Priceless. Wait, no. It's not priceless at all. The absolute minimum it will cost you to attend this year's Super Bowl is $12,200 and that doesn't account for parking, eating, etc. Heck, even the taxes for all this will be about the price of a round trip flight to Europe.

A Cautionary Tale
42 posts
• Page 1 of 2 • 1, 2
A Cautionary TaleThis is a thread for understanding the actions of others on the road, in the hope that understanding might help us avoid dangerous situations. This is not about saying that someone else is a moron. Often times in an incident you, the weather, road position, traffic, sun, all manner of things contribute to a near miss or hit.
Re: A Cautionary TaleI have had several, but there was a particularly scary one today.
Conditions: overcast, but excellent daytime visibility, around 6:20pm. Location: a roundabout with 5 entry/exits, city fringe, busy with traffic. What happened: A bus was stopped 10m from the round-about on a slightly down hill approach. I rolled around traffic that could not get past the bus and approached the round-about at about 20kmh seeking to exit third exit to the right. A bus was approaching over a pedestrian crossing to my left in the first entry onto the round-about, basically 15m to my front-left. I rolled onto the round-about and maintained about that speed under cornering. The bus rolled in on me, and was basically going to drive straight over the top of me. As I continued right, the bus followed and got to less than a meter from me and was traveling faster than me, i.e., he was gaining. I yelled 'farrrrrk' at the top of my voice as I truly thought he was going to kill me. Being leaned over cornering, I was unable to pedal until I straightened, and even then the bus was gaining on me. It was really a very lucky escape. I stopped and looked back at the driver, he kind of smiled and waved an apology. Why: I believe that he had probably looked, but not seen me as I was obscured by the bus stopped at the bus stop. It is a complicated round-about and he is distracted by pedestrians J walking and an entry onto the round about immediately to his left. I am sure he was looking, just not looking to his right. What did I do wrong: I was on the round-about and nearly in front of him before he entered, so nothing there. One thing I didn't do that I try to do often is, look people entering in the eyes. I was probably going too fast for caution. I had passed the parked bus and had tried to maintain speed to make sure he didn't suddenly pull out on me. Then seeing the round-about clear, I entered at speed. This is a place that I know to be busy.
Re: A Cautionary TaleGood tale! My personal take is that in times of complex traffic situation, it's best to just be patient and hold back. Trying to join the chaos through filtering or other uncommon maneuverers will just pick up additional risks.

Re: A Cautionary TaleReviewing all of my near misses for 2011, they have all happened at roundabouts, usually with me already in the roundabout, and the motor vehicle just driving on through as though I was not there.
In all circumstances there have been no cars within 30m of the roundabout when I entered, so there is absolutely no reason for the motor vehicles to have seen me. I put it down to the simple fact that some drivers just don't pay any attention to what is going on around them. There is not much else I could have done in these circumstances. I mean, I approach an empty roundabout, enter with no traffic at any of the other approaches, then when I half away around I have someone come barrelling through without looking. Weather conditions or time of day make no difference. My only conclusion is that driving education standards are not good enough, and some people should never be given a licence to drive.

Re: A Cautionary TaleRoundabouts = scary. Lots of people don't look and don't lift.
Glad you lived to tell the story, ft.
Re: A Cautionary Taleone of the most common mistakes i see cyclists make is overtaking cars on the LH side in busy traffic, with parking on the LH side of the road and intersecting roads. although this is legal, it is frequently done far too casually in traffic where vehicles often move left without warning, looking or indicating. a common cause of this mistake - i believe - is the belief by many (inexperienced) cyclists that the bit of road next to the parked cars is "theirs". it isn't, in the eyes of many motorists. particularly when a car indicates to turn or merge left, i won't hesitate to move around to the right of it.
Re: A Cautionary Tale
Let alone cyclists. Even motorbikers do it. Just the other day on Anzac Br at peak hour, whilst traffic were moving slowly with short surges, a motor bike ride b/n lanes and wiggled through the traffic amongst still moving vehicles on either side. Just idiotic. It only takes one slight movement of one vehicle and that guys will turn into sliced ham. At the end of the day, it's the same mentality and lack of patience. Bianchi, Ridley, Montague, GT, Garmin and All things Apple
Re: A Cautionary TaleI'm constantly amazed by other cyclists who assume that people see them. I sat up in congested traffic one day, guy behind me jumped past and thirty seconds later almost went into a car that turned into a driveway without giving way. I've driven that road, cyclists are effectively invisible until just before they pass you, any cyclists that rides thinking they can be seen is dreaming.
I ride, therefore I am.
...real cyclists don't have squeaky chains...
Re: A Cautionary Tale
it's very difficult for motorists to see cyclists filtering through stationary traffic. as a cyclist, it's easy to become self-righteous about that, but whenever i'm in the driver's seat i'm reminded of just how likely it is for me to turn across cyclists in that circumstance.
Re: A Cautionary TaleYet cars will clip curbs fairly often.. yet almost never come within a metre of another car in the adjacent lane going the same way.

Re: A Cautionary TaleI posted about this awhile ago. I saw a program on tv called test your brain, it was about how the brain works and what we see and don't see. I believe most people just don't see you even though they might be looking right at you, this is because they are conditioned to look for larger vehicles.

Re: A Cautionary Tale
as a tall person, i find the rearview mirror is often really bad. it's often directly in my line of sight, blocking stuff straight ahead.
Re: A Cautionary Tale
I saw that show. It was fascinating. I suggest however that if they ran the very real risk of a custodial gaol sentence if they hit a pedestrian or a cyclist they'd be looking just as hard for them as they do for larger vehicles. 2012 Oppy A4
Re: A Cautionary TaleMy contribution is not much cautionary tale but more cautionary observations.
I ride on country roads and encounter far less traffic volume but at much faster speeds- usually at 100km/hr. When wind and / or cycle speed conditions permit I listen for traffic coming up behind to set myself up to 'hold a line' inside the carriageway as they pass me. I sometimes find that after a car passes me at speed I can't hear a 2nd and sometimes 3rd and 4th etc cars approaching me close behind as the road roar from the initial car passing me is still the only thing audible. I have occasionally made the mistake of breaking my 'line' in the carriageway to dodge an obstacle or avoid falling of the sealed shoulder only to stray closer towards the succession of cars after the first - to the horror of both the drivers and myself - it's a very easy mistake to make I find..... Another cautionary observation is the way vehicles with trailers will allow plenty of passing width for the vehicle to get by me, only to cut right in on my space as the trailer passes me. This has caused me two very close calls this past 12 months. I'm 100% sure the drivers are doing the right thing and placing the vehicle a good 1.5 - 2 m out from my 'line' but they pull back into the carriageway too soon only to have me freaking out at the sight of a 6x4 trailer mudguard only a foot or so away from my right pedal at100km/hr. This cutting in observation also applies all to often to cars who are closely following behind another car. The first car in a pair or a string of traffic pulls out into the middle of the road to give me plenty of space but for reasons which I'm yet to work out the second car and subsequent cars with few exceptions tend to give less and less room as they pass to a point where maybe the 6th or 7th car in a string will pass so close it's like they didn't see me being overtaken by the first 6 cars in front of them. I often wonder if this happens in city traffic but don't intend to find out....... 3rd class cycling is always better than 1st class walking
Re: A Cautionary Tale
Some great advice open roader. It reminds me of an incident at West Head... It was about 0700 on a weekend and I was listening to my MP3. I drifted out on a left hand bend (the shallowest of bends) and a RAV4 was passing me. I hadn't heard it. He was half laning me. Essentially I was drifting into him. You have to hold your line; you have to be predictable.
Re: A Cautionary Tale
Yes, this is what I should have added to my spiel..... cut down the variables by remaining constant..... 3rd class cycling is always better than 1st class walking
Re: A Cautionary TaleA quick tale, but as a driver.
This would have been 100% my fault had anything occurred, fortunately we were all clear. Trying to enter a 3 lane road just before xmas, it was completely gridlocked and there was a bike lane in the left lane. Can in the left lane leaves me a gap to enter, I move a foot or so towards the lane only to notice 2 bikes coming down the bike lane, literally at full song, downwind. There was enough movement to catch my eye and stop luckily. I appreciate the lane is for cyclists but 45kph down a bike lane past gridlocked traffic, I think there is the potential for a lot of harm to come your way, even if you're 100% in the right. As much as cars need to beware etc etc these guys closed 6-8 car lengths in a second or so and but for my reflexes and awareness would have gone straight over my hood.
Re: A Cautionary Tale
If it is a real bike lane, and not just a road shoulder thingy, then it is a valid lane and is really no different to an incident I saw happen one afternoon on the way home. Basically, two lanes of traffic, one of which is a bus lane. Traffic gridlocked in the "regular" lane, bus lane empty. Cars turning right across the gridlocked traffic got left a gap by some guy in a truck. People turning right could not see the bus lane from their position due to the slope of the road and the height of the truck. Car turns through the gap and does not need women on motor scooter in bus lane. Motor scooter goes straight into the side of the car. Had it been a bus, driver of car would be dead. As it was, scooter rider was incredibly lucky to have gotten away with only leg injuries (from bashing knees on kick panel). It is always the responsibility of the person entering the traffic flow to ensure that ALL lanes are clear before moving. If you can't see the other lanes, then it is not clear. I get annoyed on my daily commute when I have to make a right hand turn across 3 lanes of gridlocked traffic, and I can't see the far lane. Cars beep at me to go through, but I stand my ground until I can clearly see that all three lanes have stationary traffic.

Re: A Cautionary Tale
While legally queegueg is right. It is just plain dangerous to have a large speed differential to the traffic next to you when there is lots of traffic. This true for cars, bikes buses or cars. Racing past stopped cars in a car is damn dangerous too. Likewise riding in a bike traffic lane on a multi lane 80kph road with heavy traffic is down right deadly. Some things come down to behaving safely and sensibly. Even if you are behaving legally.
Re: A Cautionary Tale
I certainly don't see any of the buses/taxis in the same lane slowing down. The whole point of the bus lanes is to allow the buses to flow while the other traffic is gridlocked! '11 Lynskey Cooper CX, '00 Hillbrick Steel Racing (Total Rebuild '10), '09 Electra Townie Original 21D
Re: A Cautionary TaleIt's threads like these that make me feel justified in turning on my lights to the flash setting in the morning and afternoon despite it technically being bright enough to easily see me. This is purely anecdotal, but I think I am seen more often because of it, particularly when I'm riding into the sun.

Wheels of JusticeToday's Sydney Morning Herald has this story http://www.smh.com.au/nsw/wheels-of-justice-20120623-20ut3.html about a cyclist who was involved in an accident with a car in Sydney's Centennial Park.
Unbelievably, the police charged the cyclist. But he fought the fine ... and won!
Re: Wheels of JusticeYou're right about the "unbelievably" bit . Sheesh, how stoopid are Sydney coppers??
The cyclst was the only one injured and he's charged with riding negligently. How can you be found negligent to yourself???? Riding bikes in traffic - what seems dangerous is usually safe; what seems safe is often more dangerous.
Re: Wheels of JusticeIndeed! I ride in the same club as Marc and we all found it pretty remarkable that he was the one who got charged ... and not the driver.
Good on him for following through with it to its logical conclusion.
Re: Wheels of JusticeI called the "stupid junior copper syndrome". This is not the first time I've seen similar where they charged against overwhelming evidence. It's as if when they receive a case they'll need to issue at least one ticket to pay for their time. Unfortunately they have a habit of issuing to the wrong party.

Re: Wheels of JusticeI find that the most unbelievable thing here is that the courts eventually came through for the cyclist!
Or am I being too cynical.
Re: Wheels of Justice
Yes, but the really disturbing thing is, what about the humble cyclist riding without a video cam ? 'Hung out to dry' Riding bikes in traffic - what seems dangerous is usually safe; what seems safe is often more dangerous.
Re: Wheels of Justice
Driver guilty? We live in hope. The copper in charge was 23yo. However his mentor was 39, and they were both reluctant to drop the charges despite the overwhelming evidence. Me thinks limited IQ had more to do with it than limited experience. ... 15km short of a cardiac arrest ...

Re: Wheels of JusticeThis case shows how bad things are, I'd laugh if this was in a Jim Carey movie.
Retrain the police, retrain the driver and arm cyclists. Parks need to be better designed so cars don't rule them, a car park at the entrance then make the lazy people get out and walk in. Then maybe your kids are not in serious danger within the park. JM
Re: Wheels of JusticeLet's not forget that it was probably word against word so my guess why it was originally decided to fine the cyclist.
I did read the article and know that the video footage was submitted though don't know at which point it was received and whether it was properly reviewed. -- Spotted a motorcyclist with a GoPro camera on his helmet today, made me notice though of course I am well behaved behind the wheel.

You Sydney folk need to get in touch with Michael Gallacher, and straighten him out. The NSW Police obviously have a thinly veiled hate thing with cyclists. The way I see it, govt still panders to morons who think lycra is something narcissistic middle class twits wear. And obese police suffering sub clinical depression from too much shift work while dealing with society's scumbags, are too willing to agree.
Wheels of JusticeI believe it is quite unusual for someone to be awarded costs against the police - cant recall the test, but think it is only where the magistrate decides there was no proper basis for being charged

Re: Wheels of Justice
The video evidence was given to the Police within 24 hours of the accident. Hand delivered by one of the Dulwich Hill Bicycle Club members themselves. Paper was supplied in court to prove this. They had the evidence all along but still did not examine it properly. Totally contradicted their star witness. They were told this too on at least 2 occasions but they still refused to drop the charges and pursued it right to the end. They now have to explain the $3,200 court cost to their station boss now ... ha ha. ... 15km short of a cardiac arrest ...

Re: Wheels of Justice
My money says that at least one Officer will spend the rest of his career as a Cop targeting Cyclists. Many a moon ago I knew a cop who had a chip on his shoulder about cyclists. Every opportunity he got he'd give them a ticket. I often wonder if Officer A issues 99% of the states tickets to cyclists that'd raise a red flag? 2012 Oppy A4
Re: Wheels of Justice
Heart bleeds. Methinks this is called "accountability" in the popular press.
Already is IMO. Let's hope this makes him think twice before he ignores hard evidence in favour of bigotry in future. ...whatever the road rules, self-preservation is the absolute priority for a cyclist when mixing it with motorised traffic.

Re: Wheels of Justice
that would appear to be the most likely explanation for this shamozzle too.
Re: Wheels of JusticeHas anyone else noticed that BNSW has had absolutely no involvement in this case when it's become so well know nationally this week? and all on the same day I posted this:
"Education, education, education. It's been the catch cry of our State Orgs for years. However the dismissive and convenient reply is heard most often from BQLD and BNV when asked of their opinions regarding minimum safe passing distances, increased law enforcement, Strict Liability, sustainable road engineering etc. We ourselves at SCA have been directly criticised by both BQLD and BNV for being narrow minded, misguided and counterproductive when any and all of these issues are raised, but all of these factors are indicative of Australia's backward approach to road safety. The recent scramble by Governments to build inadequate an ill concieved cycling infrastructure in a desperate bid to delay the crisis that is already unfolding on our roads, is too little, too late. In the past the AGF has also pleaded for increased awareness on both sides of the fence through education, but where the AGF differs from our State bodies is in their genuine commitment to the implimentation of such programs, and their acknowledgement that education is a corner stone, not the whole concrete pad. Ask yourself, when was the last time any State Org publicly voiced regret at the death or serious injury of a cyclist? Here in Queensland we lost 9 riders in 9 months which is truely shocking, and yet the Org that claims to represent Queensland's cycling community had absolutely nothing to say. Absolutely nothing. The topic has been increasingly raised by many who are becoming aware of the silence when there should be a roar from those that represent their paying members." New South Wales' "peak body" is as dismissive of the treatment of their members as the NSW Police. Good on CNSW for getting stuck in on this one. The only good Cyclist is a Bicyclist

Re: Wheels of Justice
surely it's up to the victim to decide who he wants to ask for help? is there any evidence that he asked BNSW? it's not in the linked news article at least.

Re: Wheels of Justice
I think you are being a bit harsh Dave. Put yourself on the saddle of Mr Rerceretnam's bike - would you really want the "assistance" that the current mob at BNSW can provide ? . . . . . . .
Re: Wheels of JusticeIn BNSW's defence, DHBC falls under CNSW's umbrella and CNSW has been pushing for a bigger role of recent. So I won't blame UNSW for not being an active party here.
