Catherine Lowe is pregnant!
The Bachelor alum announced on Instagram on Wednesday that she's "17 weeks" along.
In a surprising turn, PEOPLE can confirm that the baby does not belong to her husband, Sean.
"Strangely enough, [the father] is Andy Dick," says Lowe's rep. "They met at Dancing with the Stars and have kept their love alive in secret but now the time has come to reveal that they are all one big happy, mixed family."

Sean Lowe may owe his marital happiness to The Bachelor, but that doesn't mean he's always up for toeing the party line.
A day after ABC announced that it would feature two bachelorettes for season 11, Lowe spoke out via his personal blog that the plan to feature Britt Nilsson and Kaitlyn Bristowe vying for the affection of 25 men was "downright degrading."
"No one likes the idea," Lowe wrote, adding that his wife Catherine, "thinks it's disgusting."

Sean Lowe and Catherine Giudici celebrated their first wedding anniversary last month and continue to keep the romance alive with fun date nights.
"But we can't just go out to eat," Lowe, 31, told Hudson and Emily. "She needs it to be really intentional and have a lot of thought behind it." He adds, "She's all about themes."
For example: "If she wanted to go have Chinese food, she might want to go see Chinese lanterns in the park afterwards," says Lowe, 31.
Sean Lowe Says Arie Luyendyk Jr. Was the First Choice for the Latest Bachelor
Originally posted 02/20/2015 06:50PM
Chris Soules Wasn't Always This Season's BachelorAmerica – and at least three women – may have fallen in love with Chris Soules on this season of The Bachelor, but if you ask Lowe, the Iowa farmer almost didn't get the network's offer to be season 19's leading man.
Lowe told Dish Nation on Friday that it was not Soules, 33, whom producers originally had in mind to hand out the roses. Instead, they'd extended an offer to Arie Luyendyk Jr., whom Lowe befriended when they were both wooing Emily Maynard on The Bachelorette in 2012. (Lowe made it to the final three; Maynard passed over Luyendyk in favor of Jef Holm.)
"From what I understand, the show, the producers that make the show, they wanted Arie," said Lowe, 31, but new executives at the network "were getting nervous. Like, Arie hadn't been on TV in two years."
More shocking, though, is Lowe's claim that Luyendyk, 33, had gotten as far as filming introductory segments when he learned he'd been replaced.

Bachelorette Andi Dorfman may have just split with fiancé Josh Murray, but after 12 years and 33 seasons of The Bachelor, The Bachelorette and its spin-offs (Bachelor Pad and Bachelor in Paradise), somewhere between all the group dates, hometown visits and rose ceremonies, some true love connections have formed. In fact, six couples have turned their on-camera connection into 'til-death-do-us-part love.

So what have the two been up to since saying ''I do'' in front of 6 million television viewers and honeymooning in Tahiti?
"There's been a lot of down time with just us two," Giudici, 28, tells PEOPLE exclusively. "I've really been enjoying being next to him all the time."

With the recent announcement of fan favorites Marquel Martin and Michelle Money joining the cast, the Aug. 4 premiere of Bachelor in Paradise is sure to bring fun, feistiness and plenty of unforgettable moments.
But the show's contestants, who will compete for another chance at onscreen love in Tulum, Mexico, are in for a few surprises – including a new twist that will shake things up at the start of every episode.
To kick the show off, 14 former Bachelor stars will arrive at the tropical destination to spend time getting to know each other, but at the end of the night only six men will hand out roses – leaving two women flowerless and on a flight back home.

Looking for fulfillment outside his iron lung-based existence, "The Sessions'" protagonist, quadriplegic Mark O'Brien, goes on a quest to lose his virginity but leaves audiences hungering for less flesh and more emotional connection to the characters.
O'Brien (John Hawkes) contracted polio as a boy and lives his life on a gurney in 1988 San Francisco. He has graduated from U.C. Berkeley and is a published poet, but he has never known a woman's caress other than the utilitarian touch of his various home health assistants, some of whom care more for his well-being than others. As an Irish Catholic originally from Boston, O'Brien seeks comfort and advice from a priest, Father Brendan (William H. Macy), who seems a bit more progressive and forgiving than many.
After landing a writing job for a local magazine about love and sex among the physically challenged, O'Brien tells Father Brendan he'd like to have sex outside of the bonds of marriage, and Brendan gives his blessing and suggests O'Brien seek therapy. At the advice of his therapist, O'Brien contracts the services of Cheryl Cohen-Greene (Helen Hunt), a typical exasperated wife and mother who just happens to work as a sex surrogate.
Through the course of their "therapy" sessions, Cohen-Greene and O'Brien experience frustration, ecstasy and even love in what is supposed to be a strictly professional arrangement.
Although the intimacy of the film is on full-frontal display (and I do mean full frontal, as Hunt bears it all for this one), as a viewer I missed an emotional connection with all but O'Brien and his faithful feline companion, who director/writer Ben Lewin decided to open and close the film with in a touching manner. Hunt turns in a nuanced performance, but with so much sex and nudity, I was distracted away from her often dysfunctional personal life with her husband and son and hoped to see more of her own motivations for becoming a sex surrogate.
I also would have liked to have seen more of a struggle on the part of Father Brendan, as it seems a bit too easy for him to acquiesce to his parishioner's desire for sex. What about his own personal choice of celibacy? Can't he offer insight about living a fulfilling life without physical love?
I felt cheated out of a bit of joy in this film as O'Brien meets the love of his life, Susan, in the last 10 minutes of the film. It would have completed the picture to have a little more screen time between the two.
As the film is inspired by "The Surrogate," the true story of O'Brien's search, I would also have preferred a bigger role for O'Brien's true-life legacy, his poetry. We get a glimpse of one piece he writes to Cheryl but that's about it.
As a quiet, simple portrait of one man's quest for physical and emotional fulfillment, "The Sessions" does a utilitarian job at best but could have been so much more.

Mandrake & nVidia drivers (whatever version)

Same problem
I don't know if it's related, but it probably is...
I've posted several times this issue I have on my laptop, it's a dell inspiron 4100 with a geforce2go 32mb, 640mb ram p3 866.
If I use mandrake 9.2 and the nvidia 4496 drivers it runs flawlessly a little slow at times, but perfectly stable and I am quite happy with it. If I try to upgrade to the 53xx series nvidia drivers they will install just fine, but X will freeze and I have to unplug my battery and power to get it to shutdown. If I try to use a 2.6 kernel all hell breaks loose, not only can I not use the 4496 drivers, but the 53xx series drivers will completly destroy my X install and in the last instance I tried, it also destroyed vim (when I was editing XF86Config-4 probably). I have to either remove X and reinstall it (not an easy task), or reinstall mandrake. If I use the NV drivers of course on 2.6 everything works just fine, but then no GL programs of course. To me this is a major issue, I certainly hope it get's fixed soon, or someone figures a way around it.

February 2010 Sketch Challenge
Article Courtesy Scrapjazz.com: by Rachel Myerson
This month's sketch features a large photo block with space for multiple photos and journaling, as well as space for several patterned papers and embellishments. There are three horizontal lines which can be used for ribbons or other embellishments. I asked several designers to interpret this sketch
In her layout, "sand & surf," Denise Gormish changed the relative sizes of the photos and journaling. This change draws attention to the wonderful photos of their smiling faces. Her double-matting on the photo block further helps to draw the attention to the great photos.
Mary Eason also changed the relative sizes of the photos in her layout, "Fly Boys." Mary had fun with the horizontal lines, turning them into wavy lines, and she replaced the flourish with an unusually shaped embellishment that is more suited to the layout's subject. Her arrow helps direct the viewer's eye to the photos.
Heidi Anne Giebel used the sketch for an adorable layout about meeting Daisy Duck. Character photos tend to be vertical and she rotated the photo block to accommodate four vertical photos.
Jeanette Giancaspro enlarged the photo block to accommodate three 4" x 6" photos in her layout, "Puppy Love." The larger photos draw attention to the dog's face. She switched the locations of the title and the flourish and used dog-themed embellishments to emphasize the theme of the layout.
I followed the sketch pretty closely for my layout, "Breaking Boards." For the horizontal strips, I cut a thin strip of black paper and adhered it in the middle of the purple ribbon to imitate the look of my son's purple belt.
As you can see, each designer interpreted the sketch in her own way and yet they all came out with beautiful and unique results. I hope that you find this sketch inspiring. Have fun and share your interpretation in the gallery here at Scrapjazz.

Light n Easy Steam Mop

Very easy to use, and very effective on hard floors.
I have a slate floor in the kitchen and hard wood floors elsewhere. This steam mop works brilliantly on both and is far less cumbersome than a mop and bucket. Very quick and easy to get a good clean. Floors dry very quickly too. A really good investment, highly recommended to anyone with hard floors. Great on rugs too - got some long standing stains out of a wool rug very easily. The attachment of the soft pad to the mop could be better, but not bad. Fabulous, especially for onlyRead moreLess

The joint venture formed this spring by networks Fox, NBC (NYSE: GE) and ION Media and nine independent station groups to bring mobile digital TV technology to market has announced its interim management team and given itself a name.
The "Mobile Content Venture," which was announced in April at the NAB Show, joins the three networks with Pearl Mobile DTV, a standalone entity representing nine groups: Belo, Cox Media Group, E.W. Scripps (NYSE: SSP), Gannett (NYSE: GCI) Broadcasting, Hearst Television, Media General (NYSE: MEG), Meredith (NYSE: MDP), Post-Newsweek Stations and Raycom Media. MCV's goal is to launch a national mobile DTV content service using part of its partners' broadcast spectrum, though it has yet to announce any agreements with wireless carriers to put mobile DTV receivers in phones or detail its programming plans. The interim Co-General Managers, Erik Moreno from Fox and Salil Dalvi from NBCU, bring a mix of experience in both dealmaking and mobile platform development. More on B&C.

Conditionally Rare 1825 Two and a Half1825 $2 1/2 MS61 NGC. Breen-6128, BD-2, High R.4. Three die marriages are known for the 1825 quarter eagles. Bass-Dannreuther call the three varieties BD-1 through BD-3 the Thin Top 5, Distant Fraction; Recut 5, Distant Fraction; and the Recut 5, Close Fraction, which does an admirable job of summing up the die marriages and key attributes of each. The BD-2 at High R.4 is by far the most available of the three, as the BD-1 and BD-3 are each rated High R.6.
The present Mint State piece is nonetheless conditionally quite rare. NGC has certified 12 submissions at the MS61 grade level, with seven finer (1/11). It displays bright, semiprooflike fields with sharply struck surfaces throughout, including on the hair curls. The prevailing coloration is light orange-gold. Numerous small abrasions account for the grade, but the only mentionable one is a scratch near the denticles between stars 8 and 9. We also note a planchet void above star 2. Light planchet adjustment marks appear over the denticles on right side of reverse.(Registry values: P5) (NGC ID# 25FG, PCGS# 7664)

Memory is a complex process that stores and organizes billions of pieces of information. But keeping your mind sharp can be simple "" just follow these six tips to get started!
1. Floss: Can flossing keep you from forgetting? A direct connection has yet to be made, but by keeping your teeth and gums squeaky clean, you can help avoid inflammation which can infiltrate the body and affect many normal functions, including cognition and memory.
2. Exercise: Daily exercise can benefit both your body image and your brain! Research has shown that even a simple, low-impact activity such as a 30-minute walk can boost circulation to all parts of the body, including the brain.
3. Sleep: In both the short term and the long term, adequate sleep can support normal cognitive function and mental performance when you awake. Sleep is also an important time when your brain can review, reorganize and store memories, both new and old.
4. Try new things: Whether it's big or small, any new challenge can give your brain a workout and help form new neural connections. Learn a new language, tackle a crossword puzzle or simply try brushing your teeth with the opposite hand!
5. Socialize: Spend time with your family and friends or expand your social network by joining a group or taking a class. Research has shown that social stimulation can benefit both brain and memory.
6. Eat healthy: Nourish your neurons with plenty of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and essential fatty acids from healthy foods, including deeply-colored fruits, vegetables, greens, herbs, and fish. If your diet is less than perfect, you may want to consider a multi-vitamin, fish oil or antioxidant supplement. A recent study revealed that those who took a daily multi-vitamin & mineral product for several years performed better on one type of memory test than those who didn't, but more research is needed to confirm a connection.

The largest and most comprehensive Wizard101 Wiki for all your Wizard101 needs! Guides, Pets, Spells, Quests, Bosses, Creatures, NPCs, Crafting, Gardening and more!
As part of the largest Wizard101 Community and Wizard101 Forums online, this is a community wiki that anyone can contribute to!
|Crafting is the process of converting Reagents, Treasure Cards, and/or Items into new Reagents, Treasure Cards, Gear, Housing Items or Spells. Wizards must purchase recipes for whichever items they wish to create. Each recipe has its own unique requirements, which will be discussed later. To begin this optional activity, Wizards can talk with Eudora Tangletree in Olde Town.
Crafting Quests and Ranks
As with Gardening, players can achieve different Crafting Ranks. Each rank is achieved through a specific quest and, upon completion of that quest, Wizards will be awarded with a Badge to display their new achievement. Crafting Quests follow a very specific order and cannot be completed out-of-order. The following table outlines the Quest order and Ranks.
The Basics of Crafting
Each Trainer listed above will ask players to Craft at least one item for him or her in order for players to progress and become more advanced Crafters. However, before doing so, there are a few basic things to know.
Crafting Slots
Crafting Stations
The Ingredients
Obtaining the Ingredients
Treasure Cards
Housing Items
Crafted Items
How to Craft
Once all of the necessary components of a recipe have been acquired (all of the ingredients, the proper crafting station, the required crafting level, and an open crafting slot), it can finally be crafted! Make sure all of the ingredients are present in your backpack as they will not be counted if they are in your shared bank or anywhere else.

You know how people sometimes keep their feelings bottled up inside them and they never fully release all the frustration they feel? I do that. Believe it or not, this blog is just the tip of the bitchy iceberg of angst and fury that live deep within my hard-crusted soul. More often than not, I swallow emotions and assume that they will fade away into nothingness. It's a good plan, but it doesn't always work out. Every once in a while, all the pressure builds up and spews out like the volcano in episode #76 of The Brady Bunch, "Today I am a Freshman," when Peter makes a volcano for a science project and it erupts all over Marcia and an her friends. I erupted at work.
I have three jobs. Correction: I had three jobs. Thanks to my brutally honest opinion about the owner of the restaurant, I now only have two jobs. Some may say I quit while others will say I was fired. Suffice it to say, I no longer work there and people will be talking about my exit for years to come.
I walk into work and the first thing I notice is that all of the tables have been cleared and everything is in a pile on the bar; table tents, candles, comment cards, menus. There are no chairs at any of the tables as they have all been dragged to the back of the room. The tables are covered with dust and the floor has trash all over it.
"What the fuck happened here," I ask the hostess?
"Oh, Mr. Vigoda let his son shoot a music video here today, so it's a little bit trashed."
"A little bit trashed? It looks like the aftermath of a poor white trash Tupperware bukkake orgy."
"What does that mean?" she asks.
"Are they coming back in to clean it up?"
"No, they're all gone. Mr. Vigoda told me to tell you thank you and that he owes you."
The only thing he owes me is the last three years of my life and I may be about to take his in exchange for it. I pull out my cell phone and scroll to my contacts and hit the one called ASSHOLE.
"This is Abe Vigoda, go." I hear the voice say on the other line.
"Umm, what happened to the restaurant, Abe?"
"Oh! Hey, BW. Yeah, sorry about that. My son's band, Fish Stick, shot their music video there today. Pretty cool, right?" he says with enthusiasm.
"Well, I guess it's cool for them, but the place is a wreck. Am I really the one who has to put this all back together? Ain't nobody got time for that."
Mr. Vigoda laughs. "I love that Sweet Brown video. Hey, maybe Fish Stick's video can go viral like that one did!"
The man is completely unaware how unfair it is that his no-talent son has left a huge mess for me to clean up as I make $5.00 an hour. I have hated Mr. Vigoda for too long and before my mouth knows what it is doing, I say:
"This is total bullshit. I don't work here so I clean up your fucking messes. I work for tips so unless Fish Stick is about to come back in here and leave me a huge fucking tip I am not cleaning this shit up. We open in an hour so if you want this place to be ready by then, I would suggest you get your ass back in here to do some opening side work because I quit. Go fuck yourself with a fishstick, asshole."
I hang up and the hostess stares at me.
"Did you really just tell Mr.Vigoda to go fuck himself with a fishstick?" she asks.
"Yeah, I think I did. And I think I just quit too. Oh, fuck, what have I done?"
My cell phone rings and I look down to see ASSHOLE flashing on my screen. I press the button to ignore it. Thirty seconds later, the phone at the host stand rings and the hostess picks it up.
"Thank you for calling The Restaurant, this is Emily, how can I – Oh, hello, Mr. Vogoda. Ummmm, BW?" She looks at me and shrugs her shoulders. "Ummm, I think he's in the restroom."
I grab the phone out of her hand and yell into into it, "Go fuck yourself with a fishstick!" and then slam the phone down.
It is now definite that I have quit my job. Slowly, I walk over to the computer and punch out.
"Bye, Emily. Tell everyone I'm really sorry but I had to go."
The phone rings again and as I head to the door, I see Emily pick it up. I don't hear what she says because I have already let the door close behind me.
I quit my job in the most epic of ways. Thankfully, I still have two other jobs where I can always pick up extra shifts. I will miss the people I worked with but I will not miss the job itself. And I will most certainly not miss Mr. Vigoda. For the rest of my life, I will always imagine him with a box of Mrs. Paul's fish sticks and a big crunchy frozen fish fillet hanging out of his ass.

He was always riding us about where all the Grey Goose went, when anyone could tell from his ever present tall glass of 'ice water', and his yellow eyeballs, that all the Grey Goose went down his throat!
I love your April Fools' posts! You really got me with the one a few years ago where you said you were going to be a teacher! Abe VIgoda= Fish he-he. Thank you BW!
I read this and got SO excited for you… until the last line. Totally had me going!
Good one Bitchy…you got me!
You got me! I love you!
Totally got me with that one BW!! Robyn (QLd Aust)
Nobody does dry deadpan humor like Abe Vigoda. Sgt Fish was the greatest.
I almost fell for it…
Had me going all the way, completely missed the Vigoda-Fish connection. More power to your organ!
Vigoda (wygoda) means "comfort" .. So I'm at a total loss to the fish connection .. ~PolishSpring
No way did I just read the sentence "go fuck yourself with a fish stick". That is the best thing I've ever heard and I'm about to go repeat it to everyone I know 😀
Oh my god! I really hate the April jokes! I never ever able to identify them in advance. I'm fu*king unsuspecting bitch and I deserve it…
As a fellow volcano ready to erupt I have dreamed of having a moment like this, totally fell for it!Oh well, still love ya BW

Liam Payne may have revealed that he is off the market once again but his One Direction band mate Niall Horan has been somewhat more coy about his love life.
The 19-year-old singer was spotted at this weekend's Virgin Media V Festival smooching with songstress Ellie Goulding, according to The Mirror.
The paper reports that the pop pair was seen together enjoying the Kings of Leon set on Sunday night.
Trying their best to stay incognito, Ellie donned an over sized jacket and hood while Niall opted to hide under a hoodie and shades.
However, as the band returned to the stage for an encore, Niall allegedly launched himself at Ellie, 26, for a cheeky kiss.
Luckily for the two, fans were unable to get photos of their romantic moment as they were shielded by bodyguards before sneaking off to the Virgin Media Louder Lounge.
How very handy.
Newly single Ellie reportedly split from her long term boyfriend Jeremy Irvine last month and has clearly had no trouble with finding herself a new man.
Niall previously admitted that he was somewhat taken with the blonde singer, admitting in the past: ""I'll say one thing: Ellie Goulding - wow. She's absolutely amazing looking."
The pair also previously flirted on Twitter after Niall complimented Ellie on her 'beautiful' voice.
Niall, you old smoothy.
He wrote: "Just listening to some @elliegoulding ! What a talent she is! Beautiful voice ! (sic)".
Ellie then responded: "I knew you loved me hahaha. (sic)".
We wonder if we'll be seeing Ellie on Niall's arm at today's One Direction premiere…

That's not always the case. I got issued a speeding ticket in Washington over a decade ago. I was given the same advice regarding the officer needing to be present, so I went to court to contest (since I felt I was simply matching the speed of everyone else on the freeway, but was singled out). When I got to court, I was informed by the judge that the ticket (and the writeup) was the only evidence needed; the accusing officer did not have to be present. He read the ticket out loud for the court, which included the other point I was going to bring up to try to weasel my way out of the ticket: if he calibrated his radar gun before and after his shift.

Luckily, the judge gave me a break and waved the ticket due to a paperwork technicality he could have kept to himself if he really wanted to.

WASHINGTON — As the military's top appeals court prepares to hear arguments in the case of 1st Lt. Michael Behenna, two outside legal groups are urging that the Edmond native receive a new trial because key evidence was withheld by U.S. Army prosecutors.
Top military appeals court to hear arguments in 1st Lt. Michael Behenna's case
The National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and the National Institute of Military Justice have filed briefs with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces saying the case should be used to establish a clear rule for when military prosecutors must turn over evidence to defense attorneys.
The "primary ethical duty of a prosecutor — military or civilian — (is) to seek justice, not convictions, something that appears to have been overlooked" at Behenna's trial, the criminal defense lawyers' group says in its brief.
The military court of appeals is scheduled to hear arguments in Behenna's case Monday in Washington. The appeals court took Behenna's case to determine whether prosecutors erred in not turning over evidence at the 2009 trial and whether the trial judge properly instructed the jury regarding Behenna's claim of self-defense.
National attention
Behenna's case has drawn national attention for its unusual
Behenna, 28, is serving a 15-year sentence at a military prison in Fort Leavenworth, Kan., for unpremeditated murder in a combat zone in Iraq. In 2008, Behenna shot an unarmed Iraqi man he had suspected of being involved in an attack that killed two of his platoon members.
Behenna forced the man, Ali Mansur, to strip naked and sit on a rock before pointing a gun at him and interrogating him.
He shot Mansur twice and testified at his trial that he did so in self-
A translator who was watching the scene testified at the trial that Mansur had not made any sudden movements.
At the trial, a crime scene expert, Herbert MacDonell, was part of the government's slate of witnesses but was never called to testify.
According to Army attorneys, MacDonell believed during most of the trial that there were multiple possibilities regarding Mansur's posture when shot.

The Truth Within Cartoons Thank you, Northern Express, for printing the current cartoons by both Jen Sorensen and Tom the Dancing Bug by Ruben Bolling!
Faith and Politics: A Recipe for Disaster Government, religion, and ultra conservative politics is an alliance that if it stays the present course will be the demise of our great republic.
Give Gitmo back
In last week's issue Mr. Tuttle called for ending our fruitless blockade of Cuba. This is laudable and sensible.
The blockade has been an abject failure. Fidel Castro has outlasted now nine presidents. More importantly, had our blockade been ended decades ago, communism in Cuba would have been long gone and Cuba would now be a major trading partner and American vacation destination.
It was disappointing, however, that an editorial calling for an end to the blockade didn't have a word about "Gitmo." You know, the prison nickname for our Navy base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba...
When Gary Howe learned the Grand Traverse County Road Commission planned to spend some money to improve Lafranier Road, he decided he wanted to have some input. Howe proposed a walking tour of Lafranier with local planners, transportation specialists and a couple members of the road commission. The Northern Express tagged along on the snowy morning of Nov. 28.
The leakers & freedom
Stephen Tuttle's writing exemplifies the confusion surrounding Bradley Manning and Edward Snowden. You say that names of Afghan and Chinese nationals have been released? The list please. You write that "they've exposed nothing illegal under current law." If one looks at what Wikileaks published thanks to Mr Manning (http://www.bradleymanning.org/learn-more/ what-did-wikileaks-reveal), then one may be exposed to revelations describing what should be illegal acts.Exposing the insanity
I have to disagree with Stephen Tuttle about the comparison between Manning, Snowden and Daniel Ellsberg (who released The Pentagon Papers). Ellsberg had the support of the New York Times and a country that was sick of the war in Southeast Asia. The people that supported us were doomed at the end of the war. The same thing will happen in Iraq and Afghanistan.She's following the rules
Dear Fellow Cyclists/Commuters: I am surprised and dismayed at your anger towards me and I feel you missed the point of my letter in the August 5 issue. I DO NOT feel that I am in any way above the law.Violations everywhere
I have taken a week since reading the letter to the editor about being ticketed for running a red light in downtown Traverse City. I was so filled with different emotions as I read it that I needed to take some time to sort through it all.By the book
Far too often cyclists violate traffic laws with little regard for drivers. I'm not saying that all cyclists are bad drivers and that I support this form of transportation. I wish I had the ability to ride a bike to work as Susan Ruoff does.Reckless riders
I live in TC and the behavior of some cyclists is quite frankly scary. Running red lights, wearing dark clothes without any lights and only minimal reflectors at night, riding three abreast taking up the entire street, riding on the wrong side of the road, weaving from one side of the road to the other, not signaling turns, not stopping at crosswalks when riding on the sidewalk, cutting in front of cars and jumping from riding on the sidewalk to riding on the street are all things I have seen cyclists do in the past two weeks.Negligent motorists
The recent bevy of hostile letters directed at cyclists (Letters-8/11) has me convinced that there is more going on here than just frustration over how long a cyclist sits at a red light. First of all, if the drivers of motorized vehicles that require licensing and insurance convey this much hostility in a letter, I, as a cyclist, certainly don't want to share any road with you.
Mental Health Cuts a Tragedy
Governor Snyder's upbeat message on the 2015 budget left out an important fact: in a time of a state surplus, $180 million in general funds is being removed from community mental health programs. The reason for this is simple...Minimum Wage Hike Deserves Second Thought
Should the minimum wage be raised? There are good reasons for conservatives who worry about budget deficits to support an increase. Let's do the math: The current minimum wage in Michigan is $7.40 per hour...Lots to Lose, Little to Gain in Land Swap
When rumors started that St. Mary's Cement wanted to make a new entrance to Fisherman's Island State Park and close Bells Bay Road, it seemed too outrageous to be taken seriously. But St. Mary's has lobbied government for two years and has proposed a "land swap" to obtain 190 acres of Fisherman's Island State Park and the county road...

The three-year-old spent his last hours at home, nestled between family and friends on a mattress on the living-room floor in front of the television watching the Ottawa Senators reach the Stanley Cup finals.
His right lung had collapsed and he breathed loudly, wheezing. When it became too hard to keep his heavy-lidded eyes open, because of the morphine, his family whispered the play-by-plays to him.

from the Ottawa Senators,
The Ottawa Senators' quick run through the first three rounds of the Stanley Cup playoffs has given head coach Bryan Murray a healthy roster to work with in the final. Murray credits a strong strength and conditioning program and luck for the success.
"We've been healthy. I have a lot to say about that to the conditioning level, the strength coach and the people who have worked hard here to make the program what it is. It's what I consider a little bit of management and a lot of luck. That's what it will take to win."

Think About It

from Dan Wetzel at Yahoo Sports,
NBC knew the audience for the Preakness would be at least three times greater. And it had far more valuable commercials sold for the pre-race show than whatever it would get out of overtime hockey.
So it cut the game. Which doesn't mean we need to cut up the game.
Maybe I'm just skittish to change because much of it hasn't worked (can we bring back the old names, Adams Division, Campbell Conference, et al?). The "Preakness Game" proves that most of the tinkering has failed. But mostly I'd hate to see the NHL again react out of a defensive position, the embarrassment of this, and make another permanent, major change to the sport.
Just because NBC thinks women in silly hats and Black-Eyed Susans are better television than overtime hockey, doesn't mean it's true.

from the Toronto Star,
Wings forward Henrik Zetterberg sees no reason why he and teammate Pavel Datsyuk have suddenly gone stone cold, a big reason why Detroit faces elimination tonight in Game 6 of the Western Conference final.
They're jitterbugs around Ducks goalie Jean-Sebastien Giguere, creating opportunity after opportunity. They've beaten defencemen Chris Pronger and Scott Niedermayer to pucks, and on dekes, and with passes.
But they haven't been able to finish. Zetterberg hasn't scored in four games; Datsyuk in three. Worse, neither has scored on the road in the playoffs.

Q. First off, any lineup changes tonight. Todd Bertuzzi going to play tonight, that kind of thing?
COACH MIKE BABCOCK: I don't know. Game-time decision. It's basically can a guy go, can a guy not go.
Q. Anything to get off your chest before tonight?
COACH MIKE BABCOCK: No, we're excited. One of the things I find is as the rounds go, and not the Finals, but as the rounds go, I always find there's a long time between games. It seems like forever. After you've flushed it out, lets get going and let's play the game. We think we've been playing well. We're looking forward to it. Let's go out there and play.
There's a big difference between being loose and driving and tight and tentative. So let's make sure we know what to do.

from the Vancouver Sun,
The Detroit Red Wings, currently battling for a spot in the Stanley Cup finals, have some of the oldest players in the National Hockey League, including starting goaltender Dominik Hasek (aged 42), and ageless defenceman Chris Chelios (45).
Small wonder the team has ordered 75 pairs—including 20 pairs at the start of their series against the Anaheim Mighty Ducks—of Coreshorts, a product invented by an Abbotsford physiotherapist and one that has found its way into every NHL locker room, as well as those in other major sports leagues.
Compression shorts have been part of an athlete's wardrobe for years, but Coreshorts takes the concept a step further. By angling elastic pieces within Lycra shorts in an X-pattern running diagonally from the hip to the opposite thigh, Coreshorts support the pelvis, lower back and groin. The more the athlete pushes in a direction, the more stability he or she gets.

from Pierre McGuire at NBC Sports,
There will be a great Game 6 between Detroit and Anaheim tonight. People are being blown away by the amazing goaltending of J.S. Giguere of the Ducks, and the tremendous efficiency of Wings star defenseman Nicklas Lidstrom.
No longer are people talking about the trap, the dead puck era, or clutch and grab hockey. The stories now are about speed, skill, hitting, villains, heroes, controversy, and passion.
Fans in Anaheim love their team. Fans in Detroit love their team and hope they will see the Wings play host to a Game 7 on Thursday.
Fans in Ottawa are thrilled that they now have Daniel Alfredsson as their captain. This playoff season he has been the most reliable Senator. Last year, they wanted him run out of town following the Sens elimination at the hands of the Sabres.

SUWANEE - Town Center/Madison Retail became the first mixed-use community in Suwanee to get on board with the city's Police and Citizens Together initiative.According to Capt. Clyde Myers of the Suwanee Police Department, Town Center/Madison retail joins the 23 other city neighborhoods already active in PACT. This latest addition to the community safety and awareness initiative, Town Center/Madison Retail had both residents and business owners participating. PACT complements neighborhood watch programs, with a liaison officer being assigned to each participating community. Rezoning will pave way for restaurant A rezoning was approved by the mayor and city council Tuesday night for 2.47 acres located at the intersection of Moore Road and Peachtree Industrial Boulevard. Moore Partners Suwanee II plans to build a 13,000-square-foot building that could house a least one restaurant. According to Corbitt Woods, the applicant's representative, feedback from area residents indicates that "the area desperately needs sit-down restaurants." Planning and Community Development Director Marty Allen said Tuesday that a 50-foot buffer will be maintained between the planned project and nearby neighborhoods. City to auction surplus items Suwanee will auction off the remaining property of the late Rae Hewell on Aug. 25. The Hewell property, now commonly referred to as the Sims Lake property, became the city's property as the result of a deal struck between Hewell and the city in 2003. After Hewell's death in May 2003, relatives and friends took many of the items left behind in the estate, but more than 900 items remain to be auctioned next month. According to mayor Nick Masino, several "very unique" pieces of art (many Asian), estate furniture, fossils, crystals, shells and sculptures will be auctioned. Vehicles and golf carts will also be included in the sale. The auction will be held at Pierce's Corner Antiques in historic Old Town Suwanee. The time for the auction has not yet been set. Mayor's seat to be open Suwanee residents will get the chance in November to vote for a new mayor as well as to fill two council posts. Masino will move on to a new position with the Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce and will not run for re-election. Councilwoman Jeanne Rispin and mayor pro tem Jimmy Burnette Jr. will both seek re-election. Voters will also get an opportunity to approve or deny the city's use of tax allocation districts. Residents can learn more about TADs by logging on to www.suwanee.com.

Trees are a leading cause of electrical power outages. In fact when trees and power lines touch it is a very dangerous situation and may even be deadly to anyone in close proximity.
To help ensure reliable and safe electric service, FirstEnergy's Vegetation Management Program works to keep our transmission and distribution rights-of-way free of incompatible trees and other vegetation.
Professional vegetation management crews assess each situation to determine the best approach to prevent trees from interfering with electrical facilities. Based on this assessment, they may use power saws, EPA-approved herbicides, mechanical equipment, or a combination of methods to control the vegitation.
Compatible shrubs that do not interfere with electric facilities are not disturbed. A diverse mixture of grasses, low growing shrubs and other ground cover preferred by birds, deer and small animals promote a thriving wildlife habitat. In this way, well-managed electric rights-of-way provide food and cover wildlife need to survive.

Originally written on Project Spurs | Last updated 10/27/12
No you do not have to adjust your computer settings. What you are seeing is correct. It seems San Antonio Spurs' Manu Ginobili figured out a way to clone himself. Which should bode well for the team seeing they can rotate between the two to have one fresh and ready to go come time for the playoff push. Perhaps this explains why Manu seems rejuvenated each and every season. Check out this funny photo Manu sent out over his Twitter. I guess he had to have a conversation with someone so it might as well be with himself.

Description: Tribuvar contains a high Tribulus Terrestris (45% Furostanol Sapogenins) extract. Tribulus Terrestris is a perennial plant, which grows predominately in India and Africa. Tribulus Terrestris is known to contain pharmacological active metabolites like phytosterols, flavonoids and glycosides. Tribulus has been used widely in supporting healthy sexual function. According to clinical medical research, some of the active compounds in Tribulus Terrestris are purported to enhance testosterone levels by increasing luteinizing hormone (LH) production. LH regulates the testosterone production in the testes and high levels of LH coincide with high testosterone levels. With the increase of the body's natural endogenous testosterone levels, athletes supplement Tribuvar, to promote protein synthesis and a positive nitrogen balance as well as faster recuperation and recovery from muscular stress. For years, some of the worlds most known athletes of the Soviet Union supplemented Tribuvar extensively with effectiveness. It's natural and good safety profile makes Tribuvar the number one sought after dietary supplement with no contraindications, toxicity and side effects.

Binary options trading are becoming extremely popular all over the world due to the high returns in a very short time. This new tool of trading in the financial market involves very less risk and because of that even those traders have dared to enter the market who never could think of trading in this highly volatile market and that too with a very little capital. Binary options have provided a hope to those who wanted to earn some extra money after they suffer heavy losses in the recession. This tool has given them a hope to cover those losses and also add some money to their routine income.
It is true that binary options trading are quite easy to understand and anyone with little knowledge can trade binary options. But one thing is for sure that you must have the basic knowledge of the tool to make your trade successful. With their hourly expirations and fixed yields, online binary options have provided a new vision to the traders that they can now trade in the market on their own without any middleman. Having the capacity to provide quick returns in a very short time, binary options are virtually a new concept for many traders and many of them do not even know this tool.
For those, who are yet not familiar with binary options, here are some characteristics of binary options:
- Unlike other stock trading methods, there is no stock price, no spread, no call or put premiums for binary options trading.
- There are platforms that allow you to trade free of cost.
- The holding of the option can yield up to 81% depending on the asset.
- The expiration period can be one hour to one day or one even one month.
- Only the highly liquid or best known assets are traded in this way.
- There is no margin in the strike price and the result because the rates of profit are fixed.
- The buying and selling price of the option is fixed.
- The risk involved is known to the trader at the start of the contract.
- The movement in the stock price is irrelevant once the option has started. Only the direction of the strike price is considered.
All these characteristics of binary options make this tool all the more attractive but you have to plan well and apply some good strategies to make your trade a successful venture. The most attractive part of this trading method is fixed contacts and there is no transaction cost involved. In the US, income from binary options trading is tax free which is another feather in its cap. You only have to estimate the direction of the asset over a fixed time period and a right prediction gives 65% to 81% more than your investment. Initially, you should start the trade with a small amount of capital and as you gain experience, you can gradually extend your trade. If traded with good planning, binary options can prove a minting machine.

Costa Rica is a bit of a blur, just another country we had to hurry through to make a certain date, it was extremely pretty and a really nice country
When you arrive at the border they herd everybody into the fumigation area and spray the wheels down
because we got out of customs late in the afternoon we ended up in a small town of La Cruz, found a large hotel with a restaurant and a pool for a reasonable price. The guys ended up in a dormitory and Jean and Chantel stayed in a double room
there are military and police checkpoints all over Central America and it's a crap shoot whether or not you get stopped to have your papers checked. It's a real joy standing in the blazing sun in all your gear with the sweat running down the inside while they slowly check your papers
I had to head into downtown San Jose to see some people but as we were riding the torrential downpour started again, we rode for about 2 hours in the rain before getting into San Jose, there's nothing quite like standing talking to people while the water pours off your gear onto a beautiful highly polished hardwood floor to break the ice.
We left San Jose and ran late again, finally found a hotel at San Isidro, the Dos Pinos. Since the hotel is located at the edge of the town we decided to call a taxi and head into town so asked the manager to call for us. He said that his Dad would be glad to pick us up so we had visions of a beat up wreck showing up to give us a ride, about 15 minutes later in pulls this beautiful mercedes benz, his Dad owns 2 hotels and had come to take us to the other one downtown where he was going to feed us. It turns out he owned a BMW R1200R and was a real BMW fanatic, I guess after all that hanging around with a bunch of dweebs who own BMW's does have it's good points, so far it had been nothing but listening to the Dweebs talk about their bikes. So we had some excellent food, a great, great highly entertaining evening and in the morning he came back on his bike to lead us into town for breakfast
hit the Panamanian border on the 7th October and it was another doozie, we arrived early to avoid all the heavy traffic but there was 3 tour buses in ahead of us, the office where we had to get a stamp and signature closed down at noon with a sign saying open at 1, at 1:55 it finally opened up again, so all in all it was a very long process.
Ed and Guillarmo (nickname Sweet William) conversing with one of the officials while waiting
there were some interesting sights at the Migration office, this guy was nicknamed Jesus
Before I give the wrong impression, aside from the length of the process we had quite an enjoyable time, talking to people in line, wandering off for food, watching all the interesting things going on. It all depends on what you make of it!
In Panama, got to the little town of David and stayed at the Hostal Bambu, can't say enough about this place, nice rooms, wifi, pool, nice people, laundry and kitchen facilities
kitchen with Chantel cooking
and our last 2 days in Panama we decided to get some rest, everybody being tired from hard riding, stopped at Santa Clara in a nice little hotel
on the beach. Because it is still off season we got a great 2 room place with a kitchen and slowed down for 2 days
Guillarmo doing what he did best
From here we had to go through Panama City where we stopped so I could finally get myself a nice camera. YEAH!!!!!
Next up: Off to the Stalhratte

Well this is my second try at this, the last 1 1/2 hours I spent doing this report just got wiped out for some reason, I'm afraid the second attempt will not be as good
We had to travel through a Kuna Indian Independent Territory where they stop you and demand $9 to pass through
Gabby donning rain gear for the much dreaded torrential downpour
but we finally arrived at the dock where we were to load, Chantel celebrating
me just as glad to be there
lined up to be loaded
we couldn't stay on board the first night because they were working on the engine
stayed on a Kuna Island at the Kuna Hilton, 3 persons at $25US a night each
some guys were lucky and got the condo that is until the middle of the night in another torrential downpour they all got soaked
hand carved canoe
breadfruit tree
next day we boarded and headed out to a deserted island to stay the night
good times swimming barbequing and drying clothes and everything else that was going mouldy
but what would a tropical cruise be without good friends and lobster to feed everybody
have to admit there wasn't too much privacy on board
first full meal aboard
the President of Panama was supposedly anchored off the shore
sunblock and bandana were de rigueur on the voyage
but it wasn't all good time charlie, there were a lot of duties to carry out, here's Guillarmo and Taka standing watch
here's a one spot indication of where we were
bad weather looming off the port bow
Jean imagining he's Captain Bligh
Next We cruise the Carribbean and arrive at CARTAGENA

CARTAGENA: another big step in the journey south
we motored all night and woke up to the sound of the anchor chains rattling in the hawsepipes, got up and went up top and there it was, a whole new continent at our doorstep
today was Monday when aduana and migration are always open but of course this is Colombia and today was a holiday, migration was open but the aduana had taken the day off. We could get off the boat but the bikes couldn't be landed until tomorrow so the crew ran us ashore and pointed us in the direction of a nice hostal
first things first, we had to arrange a bed for the night
since we had some time we made a fast trip around the old section of town which was fascinating for it's colonial buildings
gates in the wall of the old city
In each of the cities I've found something different that makes it interesting and in Cartagena it was the different styles of balconies
of course the city doesn't just consist of balconies
and here I am trying to do the Romancing The Stone pose
the next day-time to rescue our bikes, the Captain had made it quite plain unloading would start at 0630hrs so we had better be there
SweetWilliam trying to organize a water taxi at 0620hrs
and sure enough 0630 the dinghy approaches and everybody wonders who's is coming first, son of a gun it's mine
safe on shore
we were also told in no uncertain terms as soon as your bike was ashore you get on it and get your ass over to the aduana building so after this I was gone
This was great because it meant I got out of the heavy lifting of getting the boats ashore, that is until I got over to the aduana and found that they didn't open until 0900hrs and it was pissing down rain, luckily there was another government building open and they let us in and use their seats
0900 hrs rolls around. we're all there with our bikes but where is our broker with our documents?
Perhaps these next pictures will show the high drama taking place
The Japanese know how to cope, Taka showing us patience
which the Kiwi's were quick to emulate
I have to say this was the nicest Aduana building we had been in on the whole trip but all good things must end and the aduana agent came out in the pouring rain to inspect our bikes.sign us off and wave goodbye
We headed back to the Hostal, put the bikes inside using the huge ramp the hostal supplied
We jammed the whole street up blocking traffic for about 10 minutes getting the bikes inside, 2 motorcycle cops came riding down the wrong way on our one way road to see what the problem was
of course we all figured we were in it now, all they did was stand around and watch and ask questions, they were really interested in who we were and what we were doing and didn't give a hoot about the huge traffic problem we were creating
a few more pictures of the grittier side of Cartagena
and last but not least another fancy door knocker I saw
As much as I liked Cartagena it's now time to move down the line, next stop Medellin

COLOMBIA is famous for it's beauty and there is no exageration in that statement, it is a beautiful country
but when we packed up and left the hostal the first thing we had to do was head for the big Suzuki dealer and try and get a new front turnsignal since mine got broken being loaded into the dinghy coming ashore. Arrived at the dealer, explained what I needed and he said come with me, went next door unlocked the storage building and lo and behold there was a room full of broken dl650 National police bikes, he then proceeded to take a signal off one of the bikes and put it on mine
bikes bikes bikes
installing on mine
in case your wondering the blur on the camera is a water drop I never noticed
anyway I'll let the pictures try and show you Colombia
got stopped at a construction site
when I noticed in a small river across the road
and last lunch at a small barbeque stand, you had what he had to cook and was it delicious
that's it for now but wait until you see the next batch of pictures

There are things you notice about every place you visit, Salento was the most photogenic town I have ever seen, the buildings are well maintained and decorated the town clean as a whistle
first were we parked the bikes for our stay
now I'll let the town of Salento speak for itself, the most noticeable parts being the doorways
a picture I almost forgot to add which would have been a shame because even the dogs were photogenic
people meet Bruno
the view from the restaurant where we had lunch was tremendous
and where would the report be without a fancy door knocker
