A Murrells Inlet magistrate could decide today if weekly Monday night fireworks over the inlet violate the Georgetown County noise ordinance.
The case will be heard by Judge John Benso.
The countys Sheriffs Office issued two citations against Kenneth Dean Roberts with Zambelli Fireworks on Aug. 4 and 11, after receiving complaints from three Murrells Inlet residents: Sandra Bundy, Leon Rice and Emily Weinreich.
Those residents are hoping that the weekly fireworks over the Marsh Walk, which last about seven or eight minutes at 9 p.m. on Mondays, will be discontinued next year.
Weve had enough and we are trying to pick apart fireworks on Monday nights, to bring them to an end, Rice said.
We dont want them to continue next summer.
The three residents do not oppose the annual Fourth of July fireworks over the inlet.
People look forward to celebrating our nations birthday and it is for the common good, said Gary Weinreich who has led the efforts against the weekly fireworks.
Monday night fireworks are not about the common good of the community. It is about benefiting the seven businesses.
Seven restaurants on the Murrells Inlet Marsh Walk sponsor the fireworks.
Weinreich and the other residents say the fireworks exceed the maximum noise level, measured in decibels (dB).
Fireworks are documented in South Carolina literature as some of loudest noise levels, up to 150 dB at the point of launch, Weinreich said.
We have measured the noise in residential areas as high as 85 dB. If youre working in an industrial facility like the steel mill or paper mill, 85 dB is the cutoff for the OSHA requirement to wear ear protection.
Al Hitchcock, co-owner of Drunken Jacks restaurant, and Charlie Campbell, owner of Dead Dog Saloon, two of the businesses sponsoring the fireworks, will be at the hearing.
Hitchcock said the thousands of people who come to the Marsh Walk and enjoy the seven or eight minute show each Monday outweigh a few residents who oppose them.
Campbell stated that he would be shocked if the noise ordinance citations are upheld since the fireworks show has a permit.
Rick Tyler, Southeast regional operating manager for Zambelli, agreed.
The show is legal, Tyler said. We have met all the regulations of the county and the state. We look forward to our day in court.
He added that the fireworks Zambelli uses are not as loud as other fireworks.
The storm (Monday) night had decibel levels higher than our fireworks, Tyler said.
According to the Magistrates office, if Roberts pleads guilty, Benso will hear from witnesses, evidence will be presented and the judge will decide whether he accepts the guilty plea.
If Roberts pleads not guilty and wants a jury trial, the case will be transferred to Georgetown Judicial Center.
If he pleads not guilty and wants a bench trial, the case will be heard right then and the state has to prove him guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
If he is found guilty of violating the county noise ordinance, it is considered a misdemeanor and is punishable by no less than $250, or more than $500, or imprisonment not to exceed 30 days.
Hitchcock said the restaurants have agreed to pay any fines, but he hopes Roberts does not come away from the hearing with a conviction.
Noise ordinance
The noise ordinance states that excessive noise is prohibited.
It shall be unlawful for any person to willfully make or continue, or cause to be made or continued, or allowed to be made from his/her property, any loud, unnecessary and unusual noise which disturbs the peace and quiet of any person who is not a voluntary listener thereto, or which causes discomfort or annoyance to any person in an unincorporated area of the county, it states.
For a public space, industrial, commercial (including transient residential accommodations) or agricultural areas the ordinance gives these sound level limits:
7 a.m. to 9 p.m., 70 dB.
9 p.m. to 7 a.m., 65 dB.
The ordinance also lists relevant factors in determining whether an occurrence constitutes a violation:
The volume of the noise;
Whether the nature of the noise is usual or unusual;
The intensity of the noise;
The general characteristics of the area where the noise is occurring;
The time of day or night that the noise is occurring;
The reasonable expectation of quiet that could be expected by individuals on public or private property where such noise is occurring;
Any previous request by law enforcement officials or citizens for abatement of any such noise;
The proximity of the noise to residential sleeping facilities;
The duration of the noise;
Whether the noise is recurrent, intermittent or constant.
The ordinance does allow for special event permits.
The case will be heard at 10 a.m. at Murrells Inlet Summary Court, 291 Parkersville Road in Pawleys Island.

Comedic literary sub-genre seen most frequently on the internet rather than print publications. Written predominantly by men and targeted largely to males aged 16-24, webcasm is a usually bombastic, snarky, matter-of-fact prose style, the trademark of which is usually hyperbole delivered in a matter-of-fact deadpan voice. Most recently developed and popularized by the writers of websites such as Somethingawful.Com and Maddox.xmission.com, and later aped by larger commercial outfits such as Cracked.Com. Popular for its political incorrectness and confrontational style, webcasm is the preferred writing style of many aspiring bloggers and would-be web humorists.
Webcasm: "When the developers came up with the plot for Ninja Crusaders, there were undoubtedly celebratory paperclip shurikens all around the boardroom. See, psychotic face-eating aliens have invaded Earth, and the only thing that can stop them is badass, pajama-wearing ninjas. Nothing encompasses more prepubescent awesome than a ninja beating up aliens, except maybe a ninja that can fucking turn into a scorpion beating up aliens."

Bridgette B is a beautiful blonde with big brown eyes and an even bigger mouth! That makes her perfect for 1000 Facials because we love facial cumshots that really show off the alluring eye-contact and wide open lips of the world's best cum catchers! When the cum starts splattering all over her pretty face, Bridgette has to use all her emotional strength to hold herself back from swallowing it. She's has years of training as a jizz swallower, so learning to let it paint a pretty mask of spunk on her mouth, cheeks and chin BEFORE taking it in and down her throat definitely required a lot of coaching.

Are iPods, iPhones and bikes a good mix?

Are iPods, iPhones and bikes a good mix?From Cycling Australia e-newsletter
Introduction You know those bunch rides you sometimes go on where someone new comes along and has an iPod in their ear? Or those riders whose mobile goes off at 5.30am when the bunch has just started rolling off? Here's some research suggesting phones, music and bikes shouldn't mix. The Research 25 recreational cyclists (11 men, 14 women) aged between 16 and 26 rode their bikes round a car-free 220m x 2m asphalt path for about 30 minutes. The following different conditions were imposed on them: 1. Normal cycling with two hands on the handlebars 2. Cycling with one hand on the handlebars 3. Normal music (120 beats/min) with two normal iPod-type earpieces 4. Normal music (120 beats/min) with one normal iPod-type earpieces 5. Normal music (120 beats/min) with two in-earbuds that cut off all external sound 6. Fast beat music (180 beats/min) with two normal iPod-type earpieces 7. Normal but loud music with two normal iPod-type earpieces 8. Bluetooth phone earpiece 9. Normal handheld phone The Dutch scientists measured bike speed using GPS; how many times each cyclists heard a bike bell emitted from a pannier on their bike; how quickly the cyclists stopped and put a foot on the ground when hearing a loud horn emitted 5m from them near the finish of each ride; and how observant the cyclists were noticing safety signs or traffic lights put up randomly on each ride. The Results Cycling speed only changed when using either the Bluetooth earpiece or the handheld phone with speed dropping from about 19 k/hr to 17 k/hr. When riding (one- or two-handed) without any devices and when using either of the phone devices, all stop signals were heard. However, stop signals were missed 4% of the time with two earpieces in, 16% of the time with the fast music, 24% of the times when using high volume music, and an amazing 68% with the enclosed earbuds. Braking time increased only in the two phone conditions by 0.29 of a second, especially in the one-hand on handlebar condition. When riding without music or phones, 53% of the riders missed signs. This increased to 66% when using phones but music didn't affect this measure. The So What? The research team concluded that music worsens the ability to hear sounds, especially when wearing in-earbuds that cut out external sounds like cars, trucks and other riders. They also concluded that both handheld and hands free mobile phone use negatively effects perception of sights and sound. The bottom line is ride safe by having all the senses primed for any input that flags danger. Leave the toys at home and communicate with others in the bunch to keep everyone safe. De Waard, D et al. (2011).Effects of listening to music, and of using a handheld and handsfree telephone on cycling behaviour.Transportation Research. 14: 626-637. Please note that this information is not prescriptive. Peter Reaburn is an Associate Professor in sport science at CQUniversity. He races B-grade with Rockhampton Cycling Club and in 2010 completed his second Grafton-Inverell (228 km) race. He has also won the 50-54 years National Ironman Championship at Forster in 2005 and is building to another Hawaii Ironman in 2015. Peter has presented vet rider and coaches workshops for Cycling Australia and Cycling Queensland and has a passion for 'bridging the gap' between sport science and sport. He has written the definitive book for veteran riders titled The Masters Athlete available at www.mastersathlete.com.au . He will be writing regular 'bridging the gap' articles for E Cycle.
Re: Are iPods, iPhones and bikes a good mix?As helmets were not worn during the study (being conducted in Dutchland) , doesn't that make it irreverent to Australian conditions?
Although I must admit that using music devices while in the bunch group does have an adverse impact on your enjoyment of the ride (as the other riders diss & curse you, ultimately banishing from the group). How much attention do you really need to give to riding, to do it safety anyway? It seems that the answer would be "never enough†as any distraction is regarded as life threatening. -----------------------

Re: Are iPods, iPhones and bikes a good mix?
...whatever the road rules, self-preservation is the absolute priority for a cyclist when mixing it with motorised traffic.

Re: Are iPods, iPhones and bikes a good mix?
I rode to work for most of a year using in-ear buds and music-player, a couple of years back. Never had any problems missing stop signals Were these cyclists blind or something??
Ahh! Now it comes out. Just generally incompetent.... and a bit more so when playing with toys
Sorry that's got to be the best example of an invalid conclusion I've ever seen. I mean it's correct... of course in-ear buds cut out external sounds, that's what they're designed to do. But is this a serious safety risk? Jury is still out. Riding bikes in traffic - what seems dangerous is usually safe; what seems safe is often more dangerous.
Re: Are iPods, iPhones and bikes a good mix?They had to do research to figure that out?
Graeme ***Looking For Information About Bicycle Cameras ***
* Bicycle Camera FAQ's *** Mounting FAQ's & DIY Mounts *
Re: Are iPods, iPhones and bikes a good mix?yup. useless research with a big jump to that conclusion.
they found no significant difference in the group that had the music in normal earbuds on one or 2 ears. of course noise cancelling type headphones are going to miss a bell. thats what the headphones are designed to do. and if you ride with those, well your a tad daft.
Re: Are iPods, iPhones and bikes a good mix?I listen to podcasts, audio books and music from an iPod Shuffle all the time ... but there are a couple of circumstances where not just relying on sight really helps.
One is anywhere amongst pedestrians, such as shopping strips, and the other is on a winding country road, where I can hear an approaching vehicle long before it appears ahead or in the mirror, and slow down to spend some quality time in the crap lining the lane's shoulder. On main roads with constant traffic doing 60kmh or more I think the advantages of switching the toys off are minimal.
Re: Are iPods, iPhones and bikes a good mix?Having been on a group ride in November (the Port To Port) I've witnessed, first hand, why iPhones/iPods or any device of that sort, should not be used on a bike.
Person was messing around with his iPhone on it's mount, swiping away at the screen... He certainly couldn't hold a steady speed, let alone hold a straight line. This in turn made the other riders around him twitchy and nervous. A nervous group is not a good place to be. So I told him that he's making everyone around him twitchy, to which he replied "What's your f@#ken problem?" Needless to say, I gave him a spray back, then rode around him and his playlist. I was joined by 15 other riders and he was left by himself wondering why no one would ride with him. Headphones in a group is primarily dangerous... but it's also unsocial. Don't want to talk to others? Get a TT bike and ride solo!
Re: Are iPods, iPhones and bikes a good mix?
You hear the pedestrians walking towards you ??? Riding bikes in traffic - what seems dangerous is usually safe; what seems safe is often more dangerous.
Re: Are iPods, iPhones and bikes a good mix?
Nothing to do with the music listening - he was a distracted driver. I would certainly never use a music player and headphones in a group ride of any sort - it's just plain rude. Riding bikes in traffic - what seems dangerous is usually safe; what seems safe is often more dangerous.
Re: Are iPods, iPhones and bikes a good mix?iPods and pedestrians are a poor mix as well

Re: Are iPods, iPhones and bikes a good mix?
And the cyclists announcing "Passing right" to me from behind! Sounds indicating the presence nearby of kids, animals, a car door opening, a shopping trolley being pushed, friends laughing and talking to each other as if they're not noticing everything going on around them - I reckon those cues can help buy an extra second to reach for the brakes if they don't see you in time. I switch off the player when there are a lot of people around. It's one button. I saw someone practising the opposite philosophy, Peter ... a hipster ninja, at night, in the City, black clothes, black single-speed, no lights, no reflectors, going through a red light texting with one hand, steering with the other. I couldn't tell if he had earphones in. I was too busy picking my jaw off the road!
Re: Are iPods, iPhones and bikes a good mix?
IMHO 10-year old boys and roadside repairs on a highway are the poor mix here. The iPod just magnified it a little. Riding bikes in traffic - what seems dangerous is usually safe; what seems safe is often more dangerous.
Re: Are iPods, iPhones and bikes a good mix?
I reckon if you don't see them well before you are likely to hit them....... you need your eyes checked Riding bikes in traffic - what seems dangerous is usually safe; what seems safe is often more dangerous.
Re: Are iPods, iPhones and bikes a good mix?Even with my music fairly loud on the headphones I have I can hear bells and 'bike right' noises. Really it's about the same as riding into the usual 20kph+ winds here - or riding on the PSP near the freeway - the traffic is loud :O
I reckon i'd be more impaired riding one-handed. Xtracycle, Surly Long Haul Trucker, Bike Friday New World Tourist, Giant TCR, 9:zero:7
Re: Are iPods, iPhones and bikes a good mix?So, how do you hear a come approaching from behind while listening to Black Eyed Peas, Lady Gaga or whatever they're passing off as music these days?
Pretty damn hard without headphones, let alone while listening to that rubbish.
So you're agreeing that iPods, etc are a distraction. Finally, some sense. See, it wasn't that hard now, was it!
Re: Are iPods, iPhones and bikes a good mix?
Thanks for sharing that with us Bill. Sickening dweeb that even my grandmother would have issues with. Makes me wanna ride my wheel right up where there is no light and see if the ubersmile is still there. Unchain yourself-Ride a unicycle
Re: Are iPods, iPhones and bikes a good mix?
How does hearing help you know what is happening behind?? I mean know what is actually going on ? My solution to traffic-awareness
Certainly I agree that fiddling around with an iPod (or any other screen device) while riding is pretty foolish. I don't regard listening to music as a problem or distraction however. After all I can walk and chew gum at the same time . I do regard listening to headphone music while riding in a group as bloody rude. Solo, it's a quite reasonable personal choice..... as long as you take responsibility for being aware of all traffic. My mirror helps greatly with this, ymmv. Riding bikes in traffic - what seems dangerous is usually safe; what seems safe is often more dangerous.
Re: Are iPods, iPhones and bikes a good mix?
And joggers... http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/35896336/ns ... uxfH9V35I4 (From last year)
Re: Are iPods, iPhones and bikes a good mix?You don't ride around with your attention fixed on your mirror do you? I think the usual mode of use is to scan them occasionally and whenever prompted by some audio cue. IOW you hear the car behind you before you see it even if you have a mirror. Of course if your ears are full of noisy music ... judged, insulted, gone
Re: Are iPods, iPhones and bikes a good mix?
Where did I ever say this?? I use the mirror much like I use it in the car. I scan it routinely for information.... probably glance at it at least every 15-20 seconds. Sound may alert my attention but, as I have said before, by the time you hear the car it's usually already passing you. In some circumstances (eg. when about to make a right hand turn move) I may focus on it for some time. This is not a problem as while looking inn the mirror I am still facing forwards and aware of what is happening ahead via peripheral vision (in contrast to the blindness of a headcheck). Riding bikes in traffic - what seems dangerous is usually safe; what seems safe is often more dangerous.
Re: Are iPods, iPhones and bikes a good mix?The answer to the OP is NO, but that is my opinion. It is vitally important to focus while on the road when on a thin carbon bike and wearing lycra and mixing with big cars . Your senses should be on alert the whole, time. I think you are oblivion if you have earplugs in while riding, but hey that is just my opinion
A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend. A successful woman is one who can find such a man.
Speak your mind,Those that mind dont matter, Those that matter dont mind!!
Re: Are iPods, iPhones and bikes a good mix?So, by the same argument that ipods AREN'T a distraction, the same could be applied to loud sound systems fitted to cars.
The occupants don't need to hear what is going on around them (the fact that their choice of music can be heard by other motorists two suburbs away is of little consequence).
Re: Are iPods, iPhones and bikes a good mix?If music isn't a distraction to cyclists, then it isn't to pedestrians on PSPs who don't hear bike bells or "passing on your right".

Each year, almost half of American adults make resolutions on New Year's Day. These Americans are 10 times more likely to attain their goals than those who don't make resolutions.
What better way to start the New Year than with recreation outdoors? Many outdoor groups offer activities the first day of the year, which is a boost for those whose resolutions include
This past year was ripe with stories about America's wild lands- including the good, the bad and the ugly. This slideshow features the 12 from 2012 that we think are worth retelling:
The high temperatures and dry weather, associated with climate change, have caused all sorts of havoc for farmers, and Christmas tree seedlings are especially vulnerable for it can take over a year for them to establish their roots.
But two of New Mexico's unspoiled wild treasures are unprotected. They are Rio Grande del Norte and Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks.
It seems like everyone supports the Tennessee Wilderness Act. Check out this great video and see who supports it, why you should, and how you can you help!
The 112th Congress has been the most anti-wilderness Congress in history.
Think your favorite recreation spot is protected from oil and gas drilling? Not necessarily. In fact, all public lands, including national parks and wildlife refuges, are potentially open to oil and gas leasing, except for areas specially designated as "Wilderness."
What does gas drilling in western Pennsylvania have to do with dead cows? To find out, watch Promised Land, the upcoming Matt Damon movie that explores what can happen to rural communities when fracking comes to town.
This year's election revealed that Americans are largely in support of key environmental issues.
Tweets about "@wilderness"
President Obama has vowed to urge Congress to designate new wilderness in the Refuge. Encourage him to keep fighting for this threatened land.

A vector-based interface element for showing the latest weather. Icons for overcast, sunny, stormy, and cloudy, and details that show the weather both today and for the next three days.
Posted in Interface → ElementThis vivid set of user interface elements contains a media player, calendar, user profile, form interface, and a star rating section. Clear and precise, it's an interesting style on which to build your own application UI.
Posted in Interface → ElementA stunningly beautiful website designed around the concept of a survival kit for a designer. I love the interactive elements and the bold use of colour and imagery to draw you in!
Posted in Web Design → MiscA PSD mockup of a website template, with a "gallery" look and feel. It's designed to showcase a page of different graphics or items, within a lovely wrapper of navigation elements and other information. A great base on which to build your own CSS design.
Posted in Interface → Web AppToday's resource is absolutely fantastic. A collection of different device mockup graphics, for an iPhone, iPad, iMac, and MacBook. Each of these is slightly stylised, and it's a great selection of device elements for you to drop your own graphics and screenshots into and use in your own project. Enjoy!
Posted in Interface → OtherWe really love this one — a fun little camera icon, with simple lines and colours. It's a Polaroid camera, showing a little print emerging from the bottom. You can use it however you'd like! As an app icon, interface element, or just within a graphical composition. Enjoy!
Posted in Interface → ElementHit the streets of Milan or Paris with this one... Maybe? "Fashion Ave" is a little set of user interface elements for the fashion conscious. A leaderboard/image graphic, graph, map/info widget, and a couple of profile widgets to boot. Sleek and stylish.
Posted in Interface → Web AppA realistic notepad interface widget, containing a ripped, textured style. It has ticks and crosses for completed tasks, various list items, and other interface elements. Easy to change the look and feel, or add and remove elements that you want to keep or drop.
Posted in Interface → ElementThis icon shows the iOS icon grid and a related grid being used not only to determine the size and location of the design element (ampersand), but to determine its proportions. All of the curves and lines used to construct the design element are aligned to the grids. In this particular example, some of the smaller curves are deliberately offset to give the design a less-than-perfect hand-drawn quality. This is an example from a soon-to-be released iBook called Icon Design which explains the geometry behind the iOS grid, and it shows designers how proportional grids can be used to embed the golden section and related ratios into any icon.
Chris HeathPosted in Interface → ElementA sleek, professional set of pricing table interface elements. It breaks features down into three different blocks, shows the difference between the plans, along with the price. Colourful, simple, and ready for you to experiment with!
Posted in Interface → Web AppA redesign of a logo for a personal injury attorney. I like the clean lines and the carefully chosen typographic elements. It's a solid modernisation of an old logo from the 80s!
Frank AzarPosted in Branding → LogoAn extensive UI kit that features a wide variety of elements, from buttons and sliders, to icons and graphs.
Michael ReimerPosted in Interface → ElementThis flat rounded UI kit has a modern look-and-feel, with simple green/blue/red colours. It contains a weather widget, social sharing box, user profile interface, and various other elements that you can integrate and experiment with in your own design. Enjoy!
Posted in Interface → Web AppA wonderfully simple and intuitive interface element that uses icons perfectly. I particularly like the tortoise and hare icons.
Posted in Interface → ElementA great collection of illustrations and vector elements from a wide variety of areas, 140 in total, designed with a stylish retro blocky look, usable on any kind of media and completely scalable.
Bogdan RosuPosted in Web Design → DesignArtemis is a modern multi-purpose template. It can be used by a creative agency, a corporate company, or as personal portfolio for a freelancer. It is fully responsive and retina ready. Each and every page element is 100% responsive and adapts perfectly for any mobile device. The template comes with hero unit based on responsive fullscreen slideshow that perfectly adapts to any display size both horizontally and vertically.
Posted in Web Design → PortfolioA simply beautiful design for a sales dashboard that uses colour well. I particularly like the use of standard interface elements, such as the hamburger icon, that help to make the interface intuitive.
Posted in Interface → ElementA crisp and beautifully clean calendar design that uses icons effectively. I like the functional design and the way colour is used to create emphasis in the correct places.

A grand celebration planned for the Cy Hall Memorial Museum
Alicia Knadler
Indian Valley Editor
After almost 20 years of dedicated work, directors of the Cy Hall Memorial Museum are ready for a grand opening celebration mixer Friday, July 9, at 5:30 p.m., with a special recognition program at 6:30 p.m.
The museum is located on the corner of Main and Mill streets, in the building many old-timers will remember as Miller's warehouse.
The old bat and board siding as been restored, and major improvements have been made to most of the 141-year-old structure, though mostly by refurbishing and reusing either what was already there, or salvaged lovingly from other historical buildings in town.
Greenville residents Brad Smith and Mavis Somers have done a lot of that woodwork, and they have covered over timeworn blemishes in some rather creative ways.If one looks closely a the main entry doors, the first thing to notice will be the burnish in the restored, ancient wood, and then, if unable to resist caressing that wood, one will find where old square nails have been used to plug old screw and nail holes.
It would have been easier to fill the holes with putty, colored to match the wood, but not nearly as interesting.
The brass light fixture hanging over the front counter, for example, was once hanging in Miller's Hardware Store, which is now Village Drug Company.
A photograph of that light fixture in its original location at the hardware store is now hanging above the produce section at Evergreen Market.
Many local families will find ties to this museum, either in the construction materials or the photographs and artifacts directors were able to prepare in time for the celebration.
There is still much work to do before the museum will actually be open to the public for a set schedule of days and hours. Directors hope many people will become members, as well as volunteer labor and sign up as docents.
The Indian Valley Chamber of Commerce is co-hosting the celebration.
Museum directors will provide pork loin medallions; others are asked to bring a finger food of some sort — nothing that will require utensils.
Partygoers are asked to call ahead to 284-6633 so directors know approximately how many medallions they should have on hand.
Directors hope to have the museum open to the public during the Gold Digger Days street fair, when they will share local history and happily recruit new members.
The museum is not federally funded, so donations and volunteers are what will keep it open in the future.
The restoration was made possible through a Proposition 40 recreation grant and lots of dedicated volunteers.
Members of the Hall family will attend the mixer as well.

Back in the 70s I had to go thru a Marine Corps defensive riding course (many hours spread over most of a month) just to get my bike registered on base. I still remember the cigar-chewing Gunny (as far as I know he never lit the thing) bellowing, "Them roads is full o' mass murderers and they's all gunnin' for YOU!"
Over the years that's saved my skin a couple of times.

No paranoia here.

It's a tough job but somebody's gotta do it.
The warning signs are for you. The deer are just crossing at their designated crossing point. Now if you hit one away from their crossing sign it is then their fault.Except for those pesky deer that don't obey the warning signs.

So she's hit 3 deer. They were all near a deer crossing sign. Look out for her at marked pedestrian areas!
darn pesky pedestrians
I think it is sometimes a road bully. When I ride my bike people in little cars (but bigger than me) deliberately take my space. If I am in our little car (Saturn) folks in bigger cars sometimes take my space. If I am in our Ford Explorer then F250s with cow catchers sometimes crowd me, but little cars don't.

It's obvious that people show their personalities both on & off the road. I feel there are some that may be sort of "meek" when not behind the wheel & take on another persona on road-perhaps a Jeckle & Hyde sort of phenomena? The taxi drivers in Mexican cities are interesting type drivers, pushy & charging at times while also mostly safe, courteous & willing to advise you. I have had them try to "encourage" me to split lanes in town with almost a nudge.
Riding last Sunday, my road came toward an off ramp with a stop sign.As I watched the large SUV converging (potentially)into my path & at a speed not indicating they would stop, I chose to lay into my brakes & when the SUV braked hard @ the stop sign & lurched to a stop I gave them a pointed index finger(no, not the other kind) and a few miles down the road as the same gal pulled up to a red lt in a small town. I looked over toward her & got a smile. meaning she loves me, or she doesn't?
More often, they "see" you, but their brain doesn't "perceive" you. The problem is that it takes more than eyes to see: the brain has to process the signals from the eyes and do it correctly every time to ensure you are actually noticed, actually "seen."
That's why I wear a white helmet and hi-viz and am always on guard. Even that is no guarantee I'll arrive safely every time.

The "pipes" dont help so much on MOST BMW's. On some sport bikes, and the
V twin's it has some effect on overtake/riding behind & abeam. But since that
also depends on some other factors, even the noise can make you feel safer than
you may really be. But; yet another tool for some.

It was an "order of faith" when I ordered this...site unseen and not tried out! But the reviews were all positive....and I agree! Nice and firm and solid support. It fits very well into my new bedframe that we ordered as well.
It is a wonderful comfortable & makes you sleep like a baby
Mattress and box spring are very attractive but within a month it began developing lumps and quickly begin breaking down. It is very uncomfortable and for the price I expected much more.
After sleeping on select comfort for ten years and trying memory foam for a couple more, we needed something more supportive and firmer for our aging bones. This be is firm but not hard. I went to select comfort long ago because of pressure points and soreness, which the air mattress cured, but it did not have as long a life as it was supposed to, and the surface had become lumpy and uncomfortable. This bed is great because it does not cause pressure points, is uniformly comfortable across the surface, has a soft touch but great support, doesn't transfer motion, and doesn't sag when you sit on the edge. That last item is something that is very annoying about memory foam, as comfortable as it is. The last foam mattress I bought, which was supposed to be very firm, was so unsupportive at the edges that a foot of the bed on each side was unusable! The only drawback to this set is that it is so tall. I bought it with the low profile box spring, but the two of them are still 24" tall, coming up to my hip, which makes it easy to get out of bed but a challenge for my husband, who has a leg injury, to get in. We have a low, platform bed frame, so we are going to try it without the box spring for a while.otherwise, it is not at all hard, just firm and comfortable. We have been sleeping on it for about four months.
I am very happy with this purchase. The bed is very comfortable and is great for my back. It arrived quicker than I thought with no problem. I ordered the low profile option and it appears to be a close to normal height which is fine with me. Of course I was hesitant to purchase a bed with out trying it out first, but I am very happy with the purchase. It's like a breath of fresh air.
Within a week of having this mattress, you can see the imprints from where my husband & I lay down. It's a pillowtop, not memory foam, but even if it was, I would think it would "bounce back". I'm calling the warranty company today because the mattress is not returnable.
This is a great mattress set. I was hesitant to order a mattress online but this purchase exceeded my expectations. I was looking for a very firm mattress and got exactly that. I had a slight problem with delivery and your customer service was outstanding and was taken care of immediately.

In the heart of New York City's bustling metropolis, Central Park's 36-acre Ramble is a bird watcher's paradise, where more than 270 species have been spotted in a single year. With New York being located along one of North America's busiest migratory routes, the spring months are an ideal time to spot the city's avian visitors on their trip north.
Journey with wildlife artist and illustrator Alan Messer to some of the most magical places in Central Park's wooded Ramble, discovering along the way both resident and migrating birds. Walks are limited to 35 guests per tour.

North Of Niagara
North of Niagara marks the long-awaited-reunion of the popular Canadian duo Mychael Danna & Tim Clément.
Availability: In stock.
Product Description
North of Niagara marks the long-awaited-reunion of the popular Canadian duo DANNA & CLEMENT. Even the artists themselves, who admit they sometimes haven't been satisfied with past accomplishments, feel their new Hearts of Space release is the best music they've ever done. During the 1980s, the Canadian duo DANNA and CLEMENT released a popular series of environmental electronic albums inspired by the strange, melancholy beauty of the Northern landscapes. The natural wonders of the musicians' homeland mirrored internal landscapes as well, capturing sublime expressions of rarefied emotion. When the two went their separate ways after the release of Another Sun in 1986, both MYCHAEL DANNA and TIM CLEMENT continued to evolve as solo artists through individual releases, film projects, and planetarium scores.
Critics receiving pre-release copies seem to agree. Pulse! magazine's Contemporary Instrumental column for March 1995, gives the disc its top, five-star rating, citing the musician's complete mastery of the style that Danna has dubbed "romantic minimalism."
"I say we're minimalists in the sense that we tend to use small cells of melodic material and repetition," he explains. "But the whole idea of romanticism is about bringing out a deep feeling that other minimalist composers too often neglect. To me, music is first of all an emotional art. If it doesn't work on that level, it may be interesting, but if it doesn't touch you, what reasons do you have to keep coming back to it?"
North of Niagara is a suite of 12 pieces exploring feelings stimulated by the vast, inspirational vistas found along the Bruce Trail, Canada's oldest and longest footpath. The trail begins at Niagara Falls and follows the Niagara Escarpment -- the edge of an ancient, shallow sea -- for about 800 kilometers through Ontario. Natural sounds recorded along the trail enhance the artists' own musical impressions of this scenic wonderland.
"We use these environmental sounds as a paint box to add more colour to the internal sensations we're trying to convey," says Clement. "This is typical of our work together -- as opposed to exotic inspiration, it's all been pretty much Canadian with us. But even with these sounds, the overall effect of the music is more dreamy, more subconscious than ever."
From the subdued nostalgia of "Remember Summer" to the quiet reverence of "Mount Nemo," the sonorous reflections of "Silent Lake," and the profound yearning of the final selection "Lookout Point," North of Niagara is imbued with a feeling of intensity at a whisper. It's as if the power of the landscape is veiled in a delicate mist, and the emotions aroused by the vistas run so deep they almost escape conscious recognition. In the face of such beauty, the visitor doesn't dare break the spell. Even silent expressions of awe only begin to touch the places where this music travels.

For the price I wasn't expecting the highest quality product, but I was expecting something much nicer. The so called "high quality" laminate scratched extremely easy. We were very careful putting it together and when we were done it had numerous scratches! It was a disappointment to find that the back was just a black piece of cardboard. It the nail was closer than about a quarter inch from the edge, the engineered wood bubbled out. But the biggest disappointment was to find that the panels on the door are so thin, I think that they are only laminated cardboard!! I bought this to be used as a pantry in my kichen. From across the room it looks ok,but closer up, it is embarassing!!
I purchased this item to go in my bathroom for towels and such. It is a great cabinet for that and has plenty of room. I was surprised how roomy it really was.
nice style, i'm very happy. i'm GLAD i didn't know the front panels are cardboard, i probably wouldn't have gotten it, and would have missed out on a great cabinet. easy to assemble too.
I was hoping for a higher quality cabinet, bur given the price I got what I paid for. Some difficulty putting cabinet together, but not enough to keep me from recommending this product. Fit and finish ok, but had problem installing back as some nails had to be reset.
the only complaint that I have is that out of the 6 hinges for the doors, I only received 4 and it took over a week to receive those.

Noesi looks to continue push toward season's end
Right-hander takes on Twins, Milone at Target Field
Hector Noesi looks to build on a formidable August during the last month of the season to cap what has been somewhat of a resurgent year for the White Sox starter.
The White Sox are coming off their worst month of the season, but Noesi's best. He boasted season bests in wins (three), ERA (3.24), strikeouts (27), WHIP (1.11) and average against (.240). He also showcased durability, averaging 6 2/3 innings per outing, after starting the season in the Mariners' bullpen before a series of releases and waiver deals landed him in Chicago.
The South Siders are 12-10 in games started by Noesi, and 6-2 since the All-Star break.
Noesi tossed one of his best games of the season against the Twins on July 24, allowing two earned runs on three hits with one walk in 7 2/3 innings, his longest outing of the season.
Tommy Milone will make his fifth start for the Twins since arriving from Oakland at the Trade Deadline for outfielder Sam Fuld.
Milone has been bailed out of his four games thus far -- he's averaging just over four innings per outing, and has a 7.98 ERA, a .378 average against and 0-1 record. Yet the Twins are 3-1 in games he's pitched.
"He's a good pitcher. He's just missing off the plate and just missing inside," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said, "and when he does make a pitch, they reach out and flip it somewhere. He's fighting it a little bit mentally. He's trying to figure it out himself, and when that happens, things start happening on the other side of it."
White Sox: Veterans exchanged for prospects in two separate trades
The White Sox made some notable roster shifts over the weekend ahead of the waiver deadline Sunday.
Chicago sent veterans Adam Dunn and Alejandro De Aza to Oakland and Baltimore, respectively, for a total of three right-handed pitchers and cash considerations.
"Obviously, when we see the opportunity to get better or create some flexibility or improve the system, we take it -- so long as we feel it's going to be our best opportunity," general manager Rick Hahn said.
The White Sox were silent in the days leading up to and on the July 31 non-waiver Trade Deadline, which Hahn credited to their market interests -- or lack thereof.
"Deals like this didn't exist for us," Hahn said. "Whether it was teams had other priorities or we just couldn't match up on players. We wanted to wait. I think our patience in this regard paid off."
Twins: Minnesota to make callups in return home
The Twins will make their callups Tuesday when they return to Target Field for the series opener against the White Sox instead of when rosters expanded Monday, when they were in Baltimore.
The Twins will call up outfielder Aaron Hicks, catcher Josmil Pinto, catcher/outfielder Chris Herrmann, left-hander Logan Darnell and right-hander Michael Tonkin from Triple-A Rochester, which was eliminated from playoff contention Sunday night.
In addition, they'll select the contracts of infielder Doug Bernier and right-handers A.J. Achter and Lester Oliveros from Rochester. The addition of those three means the 40-man roster is full, as the Twins created a roster spot by outrighting left-hander Edgar Ibarra off the roster.
Worth noting
• Twins first baseman/designated hitter Kennys Vargas joined Albert Pujols and Joe DiMaggio as the only three players in MLB history to register 34 hits and 24 RBIs in the month of their debut, according to Elias Sports Bureau.
• Jose Abreu needs just one RBI to reach 100 this season, which would make him the fourth rookie in White Sox history to accomplish that feat. Abreu is currently on a 12-game hitting streak, during which he's 21-for-42 (.500) with two homers and 10 RBIs.
