I was waiting for others to comment before i said anything to see what guys said and your comment was basically what i thought
This thread would get much attention here just because of whats its called and this statement in it
"You must be willing to submit to an interview which may be edited at the producers discretion"
Erm NO, if i'm going to give an interview, i'm not going to let anyone edit it just to suit their needs and twist what i say

Thank you for the opportunity to clarify the intention of the programme.
I must admit I wasn't prepared to receive any negatives from this thread. I am calling for collaboration not exploitation.
As I cyclist myself I also am collecting footage to present the cyclists case as a road user. Each day I fear for my safety on the road. From motorists that simply don't see me, poor understanding of the rules through to the aggressive and abusive. I imagine I will eventually collect enough footage to demonstrate how dangerous a bike ride can be. This of course could take years, if I survive! So I am enlisting like minded cyclists to contribute.
Ideally it was the view that if we collected footage from across the globe and compared rider and motorist opinions would also highlight cultural differences.
Retrospectively I can identify with the distrust some have of the media. And this has already highlighted a cultural difference with UK riders and Aussie riders. The Aussies are enthusiastic about having our case heard. This topic it may be destined for educational purposes and/or to present to the roads council to highlight the plight of the cyclist and perhaps get legislators to review when making decisions.
As for editing.. that's a normal process and we can't guarantee everything you say is aired. So if your unsure don't submit anything that may be detrimental to our cause.

Ok i'd suggest contacting some of the guys on youtube who put up footage quite often, i think they would be more willing to get on board as they already share alot of things online

snipping "" "You must be willing to submit to an interview which may be edited at the producers discretion"
Erm NO, if i'm going to give an interview, i'm not going to let anyone edit it just to suit their needs and twist what I say"" snipped.
Erm, I think that's just the way it is in the real world whether you are Mandy Rice-Davies ( not suggesting you have an alter-ego btw ) or just being interviewed by a cub reporter at the end of a Heart Foundation fun ride. One gets no editorial control. Even with a job interview you have no control over the edit that makes the final long list short list thing.
But I'm strongly with the view that there is less validity in making a programme that is slanted all one way. So that's me whistling in the wind then!
Hey ho!

Helmut - the reason people are cagey is that there's a long and illustrious history of cyclists getting stitched up in this 'debate'. The facts are that there is no debate: motor vehicles are at fault for the vast majority of incidents between vehicles and cyclists. There's plenty of news stories on this site that link to such studies. People who are exclusively car users (the majority in the UK) make a lot of noise about the behaviour of cyclists, and I'm sure the situation is the same in OZ. but it's cars and lorries that kill people, and the stats show that cyclists are far more sinned against than sinning.

Videoing your every pedal stroke is unfortunately the move of the future. Although I personally do not have enough free space on my 1998 Dell to do the saving of countless hours in the saddle, it's not as though the thought had not crossed my mind. Having witnessed accidents during club rides, and having had various days when I was LUCKY to get home in one piece, I can see the value of recording.
So for those of you making a case for safer cycling, right/wrong in accidents, My word against theirs, this would be a good starting point. I can see no point in putting down a platform by which the stories are told..and by you.
That is unless- you want to start your own.

Shemini Atzeret - the Jewish holiday about nothing in particular
Jewish festivals are tied up with remembering the past, but Shemini Atzeret, tagged onto the end of Sukkot, is the exception to the rule.

The vast majority of Jewish festivals follow the famous pattern: They tried to kill the Jews; we survived; let's eat! Put that way, it is an oversimplification, and yet it's fair to say that the emotional timbres of Jewish festivals are tied up with our national memory.

Anne Northam and Matt Bogdan will portray Martha and George in the upcoming Community Players of Salisbury production of 'Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?'
- Filed Under
The controversial, Tony Award-winning "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" comes to the stage in Salisbury starting Friday, April 12.
The Community Players of Salisbury production includes six shows at Wor-Wic Community College.
Written in 1962 by Edward Albee, the play originally opened on Broadway and earned Tonys for Best Play, Best Actor and Best Actress. "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" also earned a Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1963, but the ruling board at Columbia University objected to the play's use of explicit content and overturned the honor. ...

The Chinese Vice President, Mr. Li Yuanchao at Tooku Garments in Dar es Salaam recently during his tour of the factory at the Export Processing Zones Authority (EPZA). Second right is the Assistant General Manager of the factory, Mr Rigobert Massawe; the Minister for Industries and Trade, Dr Abdallah Kigoda (second left) and the EPZA Director General, Dr Adelhelm Meru .
One of the few institutions that the Chinese Vice president, Mr Li Yuanchao visited when in Tanzania recently was the Export Processing Zones Authority (EPZA).Mr Yuanchao and his delegation held talks with the EPZA management and staff and was briefed and shown some of the country's Export Processing Zones (EPZs) and Special Economic Zones (SEZs) projects.
A keen observer can guess why the Chinese leader chose to visit EPZA. Chinese regard EPZs and SEZs as central to development and therefore it was logical for them to visit the authority dealing with such areas when they toured Tanzania recently.
Experts tell us that SEZ and EPZ are very effective in Asia, Far East and Middle East and that countries like China, India, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Korea, Phillipines, have developed export-led economies through EPZ and SEZ concepts.
China for example, has, in the past 30 years, achieved phenomenal economic growth, an unprecedented development "miracle" in human history. China's gross domestic product (GDP) has been growing at an average annual rate of more than 9 per cent, and in 2010, it has surpassed that of Japan and become the world's secondlargest economy.
According to experts, although policy makers, business people, and scholars all over the world continue to debate these topics, it is clear that the numerous special economic zones (SEZs) and industrial clusters that emerged after the country's reforms are without doubt two important engines of China's remarkable development.
Talking during the tour, the EPZA Director General, Dr. Adelhelm Meru urged Chinese business community to invest in Tanzania's Export Processing Zones (EPZs) and Special Economic Zones (SEZs) that are readily available and awaiting strategic investors. "We welcome you to invest in these potential areas," he told the delegates.
Giving an example, he said that the government has already set aside a total of 22,000 hectares in Bagamoyo and that EPZA encourages investors from China to come and invest in the special processing zone area. "We envision this to become an industrial and trade centre," he said.
He noted that the government in collaboration with the private sector is about to start putting up necessary infrastructure in the designated area and said this was the best time for investors to come and implement their plans.
He said that the biggest port in the country and region will be built in the area and that this will change the outlook of Bagamoyo, elevating it to one of the biggest metropolitan centres thriving on businesses and industries.
Under the plan also, are the modern airport and railway line connecting the central line and TAZARA, all these in a bid to create conducive business environment. He said that his authority has earmarked EPZ/SEZ sites in 20 regions with 500 - 9000ha each in Tanzania and that investors are invited to develop basic infrastructures in the zones.
In recent weeks, EPZA entered into an agreement with the TIB Development Bank with a purpose of getting loans to develop infrastructures in areas owned by the Authority.
EPZA officials said that loans from TIB will help them develop and equip EPZA investment areas with vital infrastructures and therefore attracting investors.
They said that the move was a one important step ahead toward realising the institution's vision and mission and development of the country at large. Through such loans, EPZA's areas such as Bagamoyo, Mtwara, Kigoma, Tanga and others in 20 regions in Tanzania will be able to get infrastructures needed by both local and foreign investors.
In the Lake Zone for example, a total of 3,500 ha have been earmarked in Usagara and Nyangamango areas in Misungwi district, Mwanza region for EPZ and SEZ with plans to develop it as a modern industrial cum Commercial Township. A total of 1,000 ha have been earmarked in Kahama District, Shinyanga region.
1,360 ha have been earmarked in Bunda, Mara region. The area will be developed as a modern industrial cum Commercial Township. EPZA in collaboration with regional authorities continue to secure EPZ/SEZ sites in Kagera, Simiyu and Geita.
Dr Meru mentions SEZ/ EPZS benefits as including promotion of value addition, promotion of new technologies, promotion of cross border trade (exports), employment creation, revenue collection at district and municipal levels and income generation at household level among others.
So far, there is a proof that EPZ/SEZ investment can bring benefits to Africa and Tanzania in particular. For last year, EPZA had a target to get 300 million US dollars investment capital, but surpassed target and bring in the country a capital totalling USD 498 million up to December last year.
According to available information, the authority had planned to create 5,200 new employments last year and ended up doubling the target by creating 10,200 new employments through new investments that took place in the authority's areas. EPZA had earlier targeted to export products worth USD 100 million last year but surpassed targets as well and exported products worth USD 105 million. A total value of exports from industries under the authority has reached USD 700 million.
According to available statistics, the contribution of industrial sector to the country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) rose from 9.6 per cent in 2010/2011 up to 9.9 per cent in 2011/2012. Direct employment within the sector rose from 115,022 in 2011 up to 120,840 in 2012.
The three-day forum was organised by TIC in collaboration with the China-Africa Business Council (CABC) and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation. It was attended by representatives of over 100 Chinese companies and 120 Tanzanian companies.
TIC has so far registered 522 investment projects from China with a value of USD 2.4 billion which expects to create 77,335 employments for Tanzanians.
Efforts to attract more Chinese investors should be stepped up, as there are many areas with vast potentials. This will be one of the ways to ensure progress and probably enable the country attain its own 'miracle' in development.

Wheel Of Dharma, 1 Definition(s)
1 Definition(s) from various sources:
Buddha gave his teachings in three main phases, which are known as "the three turnings of the Wheel of Dharma" . During the first Wheel he taught the four noble truths, during the second he taught the Perfection of Wisdom Sutras and revealed the Madhyamika Prasangika view, and during the third he taught the Chittamatra view. These teachings were given according to the inclinations and dispositions of his disciples. Buddhas final view is that of the second Wheel. Dharma is compared to the precious wheel, one of the possessions of a legendary chakravatin king. This wheel could transport the king across great distances in a very short time, and it is said that wherever the precious wheel travelled the king reigned. In a similar way, when Buddha revealed the path to enlightenment he was said to have "turned the Wheel of Dharma" because, wherever these teachings are present, deluded minds are brought under control.

News From 91.3 KUWS
Gay civil rights leader to be honored today in Superior
A gay civil rights leader will be honored with a march in Superior Tuesday. It will commemorate the life of a man who didn't get recognition in the US civil rights movement. Monte Stewart reports.
Bayard Rustin was a civil rights activist and chief organizer of the March on Washington in 1963 where Martin Luther King Jr. gave his "I Have a Dream" speech.
UW-Superior LGBTQ Topics Leader Student Jewleah Johnson says Rustin was criticized during the Civil Rights movement.
"He was kind of an unsung hero because he was black and gay and he got flack from both sides. He was not liked by the Black Panthers and he was kind of a minority within a minority there."
Johnson says she was looking to have a memorial march this semester and decided on Rustin because people don't know who he was or what he did.
"We've been celebrating a lot of white heroes for gay LGBT folks so I thought it would be good to bring in some different intersectionality into the program and really look at people who aren't as celebrated."
Johnson says the slogan is: "Remember your past and be a part of the future." "We really want to inspire students and faculty and staff and community members to remember people who aren't necessarily written in the history books and then be a part of building a better future on campus and in the larger world."
Johnson thinks last week's election of helped equality rights. "We made a lot of strides forward for LGBT. If we can keep on that road I think it will be getting better gradually, but we still need to keep working and keep plugging away at it and make changes."
Senator-elect Tammy Baldwin will become the first openly gay member of the upper chamber when she's sworn in next year.
The Bayard Rustin Memorial March on Tuesday will gather at 3 pm at Erlenbach Area in Swenson Hall at UW-Superior and march to the Superior Courthouse. People can find more information about the Bayard Rustin Memorial March group on Facebook.

|Bread slice
|4 (Recommended Multigrain)
|2 Tablespoon
|1 Bunch (100 gm)
|Olive oil
|2 Tablespoon
|Red pepper flakes
|1 Teaspoon
|Manchego cheese/Pecorino romano
|2 Ounce, thinly sliced and divided
|Gruyere cheese/Fontina

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Break off the tough end of the asparagus and place on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Drizzle with olive oil and spread into a single layer and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper and 1 tsp of red pepper flakes. Roast asparagus for 15 minutes or until tender but crisp.
Butter one side of the bread slices.

Friendly competition top priority for Police & Fire Games
PORT ST. LUCIE - Two hours into the first day of event registrations for the 2010 Florida Police and Fire Games approximately 400 law enforcement officers and firemen had already passed through the PGA Education Center in Port St. Lucie.
"Things are going very smoothly," explained Jana Rainay, Assistant Director of the games. "We have a lot of volunteers and it's very well coordinated. So far it's been steady."
"Traditionally, officers bring their families to the games, but this is the first year we have things for the kids when they first get here. We have the free bouncy house and super slide as well as hot dogs, cotton candy and music. So the kids are having fun."
Overall, about 3,500 competitors and their families are expected to pass through registration during the weeklong games. While many use the games as a family vacation, others use it as an opportunity to decompress and blow off some steam with a group of people who understand their daily stresses.
First-time competitor, Stephen Rodgers of the Miami Police Department, his wife Treska and their five children are using the games as a chance for a family vacation.
"We came out to do something a little different and have some fun," said Stephen Rodgers. "It's great to bring the kids out and spend some time together. We're really looking forward to it."
According to Treska Rodgers, the family is staying for the whole week and extending it for another few days to maybe see the surrounding cities and what's available.
Rodgers is competing in the flag football event scheduled from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily, Monday through Saturday at Pointe West in Vero Beach.
For Keith Medvar of the Englewood Fire Department and Detective George Denbow of the Miami-Dade Police Department, making new friends and good friendly competition are both high on their list of reasons for competing.
"We just met today," said Medvar, who will compete in the bench press for the third year. "We were just saying that this is why we come, for the camaraderie. I also like the games because both the police and the firefighters competing. It's kind of cool and it adds a bit of friendly rivalry to it. "
This is Denbow's second year at the games and he is set to compete in basketball at the Fenn Center in Fort Pierce.
"Coming to the police games is a way to release steam because we have very stressful jobs," Denbow said. "In addition to the camaraderie, we look forward to this whole week, to have a good time. It's also healthy. It makes us healthier to deal with the stress we deal with daily. We look forward to spending time with guys who can understand."
According to Rainay, relationships developed between officers at the games can directly impact how they do their jobs.
"We deal directly with the officers," Rainay added, "and you'll have a guy walk in from Venice PD who competes against an archer from Miami every year. Well they may need each other during the year to help with certain kinds of reports or investigations. Only through the games have they met and have an established relationship. These guys make contacts from all over the state and they use them."
The 26th installment of the games shift into high gear today with a full slate of events scheduled for all three counties of the Treasure Coast. While high temperatures and afternoon storms are not expected to make too much of an impact on the schedule, Doug Bingle, president of the games, says there are contingency plans.
"Usually there's an ambulance standing by for events like the triathlon, the road races and all outdoor events, plus there are always water stations available to the competitors," Bingle said. "As for the storms, we play through all conditions except lightning. We can adjust and go to single elimination (for softball) if things get too bad."

Winter!: Prepare for holiday gaming!
Well, I am not really sure I consider his a Mario game. It is fun, but I feel bad that we didn't play the original.
Also, fun note: Birdo is only male in current canon as apparently Yoshi is female.
Oh you silly up tight Tories.

They're an abnormal size, so I tried looking at a few places but gave up.
I chose a frame of 12.5 x19.5 inches (the measurement of the prints). They've have enough room for it to slide in (the frames will actually be very slightly larger than the measurement you enter), but it does cover a small small amount of the sides (as all frames do), but it doesn't impact the piece much.
Only issue I have is the amount of space between the backing. Right now the glass and backing aren't firmly set at the front of the frame, but I haven't really put anything there to keep them at the front yet. I imagine when I hang it up some of that may go away. I'm also going to try ordering an extra backing to use to see if that helps.
EDIT: Ha, whoops. It came with tension strips. Fits and looks great now.

Most Helpful Opinion
Don't doubt your mutual feelings. He just caught up spending his time lavishly with his friends.
He also has a life, and he doesn't have any committed responsibility to you yet that he'll return any text/message you send him.
He's still interested in you. I'm pretty sure that he'll be able to reignite your relationship with each other when he comes back.
What Guys Said 2
What Girls Said 1
Sometimes people enjoy losing themselves in a romance with no real stability, and quickly move on to the next exciting thing just as quickly as they came. I can't promise that's what happened with this guy, but it's very possible he met someone new or is involved with something new that is now holding his attention. Considering you never met after 3 months of talking, it's hard to see it as something "real." More of like a fantasy land, or a break from reality.

The effects of Brett Favre's retirement
No. 4 walks away -- so what does that mean for AP, Berrian, Rice and more?
The rumored decision of Brett Favre to retire sends shock waves through a Minnesota Vikings offense that was expected to be among the league's best. Thanks to Favre's arrival last year, the Vikings jumped from 18th in offensive DVOA in 2008 to seventh in '09, while scoring nearly 100 more points.
So, assuming the Vikings are unable to convince Favre to come back for one more season, how will they do without him in the lineup in 2010?
Fortunately, our KUBIAK fantasy football projection system prepares for exactly this scenario every year, using a player's previous performance (where available) and team variables to project a full-season line for backups. One such projection in 2008 was for Matt Cassel, who had thrown 39 career passes before Tom Brady went down with a torn ACL. KUBIAK suggested he'd complete 62.5 percent of his passes and throw for 3,751 yards; he completed 63.4 percent of his passes and threw for 3,693 yards.
Fortunately, with new Vikings starter Tarvaris Jackson, we have 545 pass attempts to work from in projecting his performance. KUBIAK has calculated the expected performances for both Favre and Jackson and, well, there's a pretty dramatic difference.
