Originally from Brighton (UK), I am now back in the UK after a number of years in Italy. I don't get to travel quite as much as I used to, but feel fortunate enough to have travelled as much as I have and for the friends I have
made along the way. I still try and manage to find the time to visit friends and family who are now spread out across the world. My work has always been based around anything creative. I've had many different experiences working in music, fashion, construction and product/interior design. My great pleasure at the moment is to cycle (and I enjoy a bit of running as well). I hope to ride as many great routes throughout Europe as I can.

Sheesh. When I do go for a run, I don't feel any compunction whatsoever to compare myself to Usain Bolt or any other track athletes.
All this othering among cyclists is mind-numbingly stupid. Some people like to go fast, some people like to go slow, some people bike for exercise, some people bike for utility, some people do a combination of these. Riding slow isn't a "movement"...kitting out and going fast isn't a "movement". It's a personal preference that has no objective value over another. Ride your own ride, be a PAL, and get over yourself.
Cars man, whyyyyyy?!?!?!?!
i propose a new type of triathlon
discipline 1
fast biking
discipline 2
slow biking
disciplie 3
changing a flat
or maybe
floating down a lazy river in an inner tube
you could subtract the slow biking time from the fast time
and divide by time spent on the river + beers consumed
Rearrange that order to fast, float, slow... otherwise, anybody who likes to drink will not be slowing down.
Depending on length and current of the float, the slow stage might be more appropriate on spin cycles surrounded by mats and a fair amount of buckets.
reverse biking
you ride in reverse and never reach your destination
dive biking
not sure where you can go with that
fish biking
after you succeeded the previous discipline on the list
(better go for the smaller fish they are better to handle)
fart biking
well... you get the picture

Everyone I bike with thinks I'm part of the slow biking movement...
Well, finally I am AHEAD of the curve on something. I've been doing this for years.
fwiw, i think it's a good idea. A lot of the group/club rides, in fact all of those in my part of the city, have a "Road Bike Only" restriction.
This seems like a friendlier alternative, YMMV.
Nashville, like L.A. without a tan.
Cyclists of the world, unite! You have nothing to lube but your chains!
I'm wondering what anyone would think, when behind a group of people practicing slow biking on the bicycle lane, while late for work
BTW, I don't think you looked at the links on the SBM, it doesn't require practice, its more about an approach to life. Also known as stop and smell the roses or live for the moment.
Now, i believe that those problems are not the same between cyclists and motorists and among cyclists.
Regarding, the problem between motorists and cyclists, i believe there is an organizational problem there. In a perfect world cyclists and motorists shouldn't have to share the same road because those are not the same kind of vehicles with the same level of damage to impact. An impact between a cyclist and a car, the former will probably have more damage than the driver. There is lots of uncertainty from the fact that they have different behaviors on the road as well (speed, reactivity, predictability...)
The more heterogeneous the system is the more parameters you have to deal with.
On the other hand, cyclists are cyclists whatever they do with their bikes. Doesn't mean the uncertainty isn't there. It's just that the scale of damage remains in the same range.
It's like a war with sticks and stones vs a war between sticks and stones ....and rocket launchers.

Slowing riding is a part of police motorcycle competitions.
Example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwVqB9sfyUs
I am unclear how any of the above changes the fact that the motorist in my example would likely be annoyed and the cyclist in your example would likely be annoyed. In both cases the annoyance is a result of their mistaken belief that they have a right to go as fast as they want without regard to the rights of others. In short neither the motorist in my example of the cyclist in yours have feelings that matter at all in those situations.
EDIT: From what I've heard of some need for speed types and clubs I do think something a bit different might be worth creating as a club ethos.
Cooperation. Trying to help everyone find an appropriate ride, trying to help slower riders progress and perhaps most of all providing a good wheel to follow.
I find one thing a bit off regarding the go slow smell the roses idea.
Unless you are very lucky you can't do that nearly as well as a go quick stop when there is something worthwhile. A simple example. Start on the Beach Bike Path South of Santa Monica and be a slow rider. You will never see more.
Be a somewhat quick rider and you will continue onto the Palos Verdes Peninsula. You will see great views that a 'walk any hill' rider will only see if they drive there or spend an hour walking the hill. You just might continue on to the Buddhist Temple and the old WW II gun emplacement near it. Or climb to the top of the hills and have lunch overlooking the golf course.
I'm all sor smelling the roses, but first you have to get to the roses.

Perish any man who suspects that these men either did or suffered anything unseemly.
Riding slow makes my butt hurt.
The stop and smell the rose or enjoy the moment, which are really what the slow bicycle movement is about have absolutely nothing to do with actual speed. To use your example, if someone 'pushes' themselves to get to Palos Verdes Peninsula, then they are not really paying attention to and enjoying the surroundings on the way. The SBM is all about enjoying the ride and not worrying about the destination, speed, or any of that. And as with anything else, it needs to be approached in moderation. If part of what someone enjoys is 'pushing themselves' then by all means do it. For them the SBM would be about once in awhile just riding for the sheer joy of riding, with no goals of any kind in mind.
The slow part is emphasized so much because it seems that so many cyclists approach cycling as if they are training for the TDF. Their riding is all about getting faster, beating the prior times, etc... Those cyclists are the very ones who benefit most from just occasionally tabling all that and just riding for the fun of it.
Now regarding the problem that some people are annoyed it can be for many reasons not just because people believe it is their right to ride or drive and it isn't the right of others. Whenever you prevent somebody from doing something it can generate irritability, frustration, anger. Like most people I believe, I will be annoyed when the phone ring preventing me from eating my food, a driver open the car door just in front of me, if i ride slowly someone going too fast too close or if someone on the road slow me down. In the later case whatever the fact that i believe or not that i can go as fast i want without regard to the rights of others.
In short, people can be annoyed for many reasons that we don't necessarily know.

Review: 'Whiskey Tango Foxtrot' sends up social media, Internet fanatics
If you find little to laugh about in the revelations that the National Security Agency peeps into the online lives of ordinary Americans to combat terrorism, settle in with David Shafer's of-the-moment new novel, "Whiskey Tango Foxtrot."
Shafer's savvy, sardonic take on our social media- and Big Data-worshipping society is as current as your Twitter feed. Leila Majnoun is an Iranian-American working for the global nonprofit Helping Hands when she stumbles on American mercenaries guarding a remote site in a forest in Burma, propelling Leila and her loved ones into a dark world of Internet smears and power-mad multinational moguls.
Leila gets an assist from a disaffected American spy named Ned (Edward Snowden, without the inexplicable affinity for Russia?) who connects her with Dear Diary, an Anonymous-like group of rebels fighting The Committee, a secretive syndicate of media and drug companies plotting to control the world's information.
That puts her in touch with Leo, a bipolar child-care worker whose recent spiral into mania led him to post a rambling blog about a secretive group siphoning up all electronic transmissions. It strikes his family as paranoia but others as too close to the truth.
Leo's college buddy, Ned Devereux, wrote a booze-and-pill-fueled essay that becomes a self-help phenomenon titled "Bringing the Inside Out." A lucrative book deal makes him a wealthy man and the personal guru for James Swain, an Internet billionaire plotting to gather and store all of the world's knowledge offshore in a project called New Alexandria.
Shafer's sendup of the self-help movement is snort-aloud funny. Mark Devereux writes "bless-ays" that urge people to wrap themselves in their Knowledge Blankets and make "consciousclusions" about themselves. Mark appears on the TV show of the Oprah-like Margo to tout his book and Swain's Node, hand-held computers designed to connect children to the Internet that are a key to Swain's knowledge takeover.
Biometrics. Big Data. Target knowing enough about your shopping preferences to predict when you are pregnant. Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg uniting mobile technology and social-media giants to connect the world to the Internet. Nothing in "Whiskey Tango Foxtrot" sounds all that outlandish.
Just in time for your August beach trip, put "Whiskey" on your Amazon Wish List. As if they don't already know you want it.

During one of the periodic community vote events, the PC iteration of PixelJunk Eden was chosen by users to receive a 90 percent discount. At only 99 cents the game began to sell very quickly. Once the dust had settled, PixelJunk Eden had sold "phenomenally well," according to designer Dylan Cuthbert. "[W]e just made our income to date, again, in just 8 hours," Cuthbert later tweeted. "[I]t was a huge success." A success that becomes even more impressive when you consider that the "8 hours" Cuthbert mentioned were in reference to the period of time in which community vote discounts are active. In other words, Q Games saw its income jump by 100 percent in roughly the same amount of time it takes to fly from New York to London.
We've attempted to contact Cuthbert for further details on just how successful this sale was, and what this success might mean for the future of Q Games. We have yet to hear back.

Oprah Winfrey gives away a car on Jimmy Kimmel Live!
By email@example.com (WENN Newsdesk)
Oprah Winfrey left an audience member on U.S. TV's Jimmy Kimmel Live! speechless on Wednesday (15Aug13) by gifting them with a new car.
The iconic TV host was promoting her new movie, Lee Daniels' The Butler, on comedian Jimmy Kimmel's late night talk show when she suddenly got the feeling to give away a Ford Fusion Energi Hybrid, donated by Ford bosses.
As a bemused Kimmel looked on, she told the crowd, "I just got that feeling again, I get that feeling, you know. I really didn't want it to happen here."
Pointing to a woman in the studio audience, she said, "You, you in the blue. You right there. You. Come up here a minute. I want to say this to you. 'You, you get a car! You get a car!'"
The woman, named only as Britney, was left stunned by the grand gesture, even though Kimmel appeared to be unaware that Winfrey was going to give away a car and thought she was joking.
Winfrey assured the presenter there really was a car to be given away as Britney was led out to her new vehicle.
The media mogul became famous for her gift-giving during her stint as host of The Oprah Winfrey Show - on the season 19 premiere episode, when she gave the entire audience cars.
After her appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Winfrey took to her Twitter.com page and wrote, "@jimmykimmel THAT was fun! I don't know what came over me! #yougetaCar (sic)."

URLs become plain inactive text after buffer length reaches ~30000. I checked this using (point). All URLs can't be opened with C-c RET after that, they aren't highlighted. It's a pain for active conferences. Ugly workaround: C-x C-k RET and then wait for message in that conference, a new buffer will be created with working URLs.
Magnus Henoch
Turns out this is a feature:
goto-address-fontify-maximum-size is a variable defined in `goto-addr.el'.
Its value is 30000
Maybe goto-address should have an option to look at the _last_ 30000 characters instead...
Magnus Henoch
I had a closer look at this, and I realised that I'm calling
goto-address in a less than optimal way. By default, it looks at the entire buffer, but actually I'd just need to call it for the chat message being printed right now.
So how would the function
jabber-chat-goto-address know the extent of the message being printed? It knows the end already - that's
(point). But to know the beginning, the only way I could think of is to search backwards for property changes that indicate the presence of the prompt. That would be the
face property being set to either
jabber-chat-prompt-local or
jabber-chat-prompt-foreign – except if you're using MUC nick colouring, in which case it's set to
(:foreground SOME-COLOUR). Currently there isn't any other function which might want to set such a face attribute, but this still feels suboptimal to me. Perhaps there should be another attribute that explicitly indicates the presence of the prompt, and thus the start of the message – or perhaps some other mechanism for the same purpose.
The attached patch seems to work well enough for now. I'll try to figure out the best, cleanest, way to solve this...
Magnus Henoch
I have sort of convinced myself that the right thing to do is to mark the chat prompt as a field, and use that to figure out where to start URL highlighting. I pushed this change; let's see how that works.

Doing some catch-up here, so some of you may have already seen some of these new features – let me know what you think of them!
English to Spanish general domain system deployed on live site
Our team is constantly working to improve our translation quality. As you know, some of our general domain systems are powered by third party systems, while we develop our own technology for these languages. This month we rolled out our own English to Spanish general domain system, which significantly beat our quality bar. Spanish is our highest traffic language, so we"re really excited about improving this system for our Spanish users. Check it out!
Link to Encarta dictionary
Have a word that may have multiple translations in another language? Take the example of "boot" – this could mean a shoe, or a verb talking about starting up your computer. The Encarta dictionary allows you to look up a word and short phrase and offer you multiple translations. In addition to the different variations of "boot" in Spanish around the globe, it also offers an alphabetical list of similar words to help you pick out which version you meant.

Mes collègues de l'équipe de traduction automatique de Microsoft Research (MSR) annoncent aujourd'hui
Please support more Indic languages in machine translation. Demand for that is high.
How do i add two this windows live space.I can not get it two work four me.
I am writing this letter to you regarding my discovery,it can make computer fully understand human language grammar,in other words it can digitizes all human language grammar.
The significance of make computer fully understand human language grammar as human does is a big revolution in computer translation area, because the computer translation result will become more accurate that human.
Since the inception of computers,we are just starting to use it to do human language translation and until now many people and enterprises such as Microsoft,Google,Yahoo and Sun etc. still try to do it, but the result are unsatisfactory.
For the poor result of computer translation, the American Academy of Science established the Automatic Language Processing Advisory Committee in 1964. ALPAC specialized in researching the situation of computer translation. In November 1966, they published their search report -- 《Language and Machine》. This report affirms that the computer cannot task of translation as human does. Because the computer could not understand the human languages grammar as human does.
I have been researching in this area for more than 30 years, and have find out the new way to make computer understand human languages grammar as human does, because I discover the formula of sentence of all of the human languages, then we can digitizes the human language grammar and make computer to fully understand it. In this circumstances,we can make the computer coming to be the best translator in the world.
If you are interest my new technology, please e-mail me on: firstname.lastname@example.com
Thanks for your time.
Yours sincere
Paul Kong
Hi, the MSR-MT team, thanks for your proving computer-content-related translation,it's terrific. But could you plz provide web page translation which is also related to computer content? If you do, that will be perfect, thanks.
Thanks for this feature that improves our translation quality.

Jerry Redding (202) 720-4623
WASHINGTON, June 2, 2006-The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service is correcting a final rule published in the May 19 Federal Register that amended regulations for animals and animal products imported into the United States from a region of the European Union (EU).
This final rule applied a uniform set of import requirements for classical swine fever (CSF) to regions consisting of all of 15 member states that comprised the EU prior to its expansion on May 1, 2004.
The final rule lists regions of the world that APHIS considers free of CSF. However, several regions recognized by APHIS in previous rulemaking as CSF-free were inadvertently omitted from that list. Those regions include the Mexican states of Campeche, Quintana Roo, Sonora and Yucatan. APHIS is correcting the list of CSF-free regions.
We are also redesignating in the final rule, a section of text that was inadvertently designated differently from the proposed rule, which caused another section of text to be removed. The removed text has been reinserted into the final rule and the text that was improperly designated has been corrected.
This corrected final rule was published in the June 1 Federal Register and becomes effective June 19.
Note to Reporters: USDA news releases, program announcements and media advisories are available on the Internet. Go to the APHIS news release page at /lpa/newsroom.

There really isn't much here except Lionel D. Ruiz Park which is a decent place to stop and stretch your legs and maybe have a picnic. There is a small playground for the kids too.

2001 Nissan Sentra • 116,000 miles
2001 sentra QG18DE engine (1.8) - car would only run in limp mode and returned a P0100 code. New MAF installed. - Car only cranks but no start. New PCM - new crank and cam position sensors - and still no spark. - Good 12v and ground on all coils and crank and cam sensors. - Returned PCM and they checked it and returned another but said the one they sent me tested good. - Same result - Fuel ok but no spark. All fuses and relays appear to be ok. - Been working on this off and on since summer. Any ideas as to what to check next?

Was the pcm you put in preprogrammed?
The tech at Automotive Scientific in Rogersville TN. Said that the PCM would work by just pluging it in and using the chip key. I don't know what preprograming is.
The pcms have to be programmed some come preprogrammed and some need to be programmed.
So this car ran with the old pcm in limp mode?If so do you have the old pcm still?
No I don't. Sorry, they kept it. I can email them and ask if they preprogramed it but when I asked before they said that the pcm they sent me the second time was put in a nissan and ran fine. I sent it back a third time and they checked it again for me and said it was working properly. Is there a way I could check the wires on the coils to see if there is a signal coming from the pcm. I know when you turn the key on there is a good 12v on the coils and a good ground. I didn't want to probe anything else for fear of doing some damage.
Do we have any current codes in the computer?So you got a used pcm?Did the part numbers match same year model engine etc it came out of?
The people I got it from repair or rebuild them. They told me that if the imobilizer were the problem it shuts off the fuel not the spark. I checked the new pcm response and it showed no codes so I then turned the ignition off and removed the wire terminal off the cam sensor. I then turned the ignition on and cranked the car over. The pcm then showed a code P0335. I then erased the codes and turned the ignition off. When I turned it back on the pcm showed no codes.

Jan 18, 2013.
Do this for me measure the resistance of the crank sensor and cam sensor and let me know the resistance of each one.I know there new but I had another user that got 4 bad new sensors in a row.
To damn cold right now to check the crank sensor. Will get it as soon as I can. I checked the resistance on the old crank sensor that I removed and it showed 1240 ohms between the signal pin and the power pin. I plugged in my scanner and set it to live data RPM and when I cranked the engine it showed no Rpm.
Jan 21, 2013.
Jan 21, 2013.
Let's for sure get that crank sensor measured since we know we have no crank reading on the scan tool. Also inspect the wires and and terminals for loose an broken connections.

On last night's episode of Weeds, Nancy got her wish and no longer had her bodyguard, Cesar, following her every moment. Too bad he was replaced by the stinky Sucio.
With her new bodyguard going trigger happy on everyone who came to visit, Nancy soon saw both her sons returns as well as her estranged sister for some classic sister fighting.
Find out what else happened such as when Doug and Silas applied for a business license (pictured above) in our "Su-Su-Sucio" recap.
Now for some of our favorite Weeds quotes from the episode.
Nancy [about Sucio]: Is it too much to ask him to shower?
Cesar: He's comfortable with his man smell, live with it | permalink
Andy: A Mexican gynco? Nanc, if you're putting together a mariachi band, yes, go Mexican. Down there, you want a Jew. | permalink

No idea if Joanne Pitino acquired her CPR skills from a Matt Leinart- sponsored American Red Cross event, but the wife of Louisville men's basketball coach Rick Pitino is a hero after saving the life of a passenger who suffered a heart attack during a recent flight.
From the BOSTON HERALD'S INSIDE TRACK:
Our spies in the sky say Mrs. P helped administer CPR and assisted with the oxygen mask after the man sitting next to her collapsed. The plane made an emergency landing in Philadelphia and the passenger made a full recovery!
Larry Bird, Kevin McHale, et al, might not be walkin' through that door, but Joanne will be around to revive anybody who passes out. So there's that.
Pitino's actions were certainly noble, but if we're handing out awards for heroism at 30,000 feet, I think these fine folks are more deserving. I mean, really, flying commercially is bad enough without having to be subjected to unsolicited nudity.

text: Eames Honors House hosted Physics professor, Dr. Partha Chowdhury, on Wednesday from 6:00-7:00. About 40 honors students attended Dr. Partha's talked about very very very small things. He took the students on a journey where 99.95% of all matter resides. Can you think about something that is one millionth of a millionth of a millimeter? There are similarities between very small things (atomic nuclei) and very large things in the cosmos. You can see these similarities if you know how to look. Scientists are trying to catch light! Light in the cosmos and light in the center of an atom. UMass Lowell Physics Department has faculty and labs that explore such things. Professor Chowdhury also dabbled in the poetry of Emily Dickenson, Tennyson, and Rossetti. Honors students are encouraged to think and enjoy the chase of knowledge in more than a single discipline. What a fun journey that can be. The talk was so well attended that we ran out of chicken wings. The Physics Department at UMass Lowell is a place of great adventure. The UMass Lowell Commonwealth Honors program is blessed to have over 600 motivated and high achieving students grace its program. Our honors program is an academic enrichment program geared towards inspiring and helping interested students become engines of innovation themselves. The photo in this blog contains a picture of students waiting for the Dr. Chowdhury's talk to begin. Dr. Chowdhury is one fabulous speaker. Thank you Partha for coming into the house.

State lawmakers late Monday ignored Mayor Greg Ballard's calls for fewer spending cuts for the Capital Improvement Board and granted him only one of the three tax increases he sought this year to plug the agency's projected $47 million deficit.
The CIB is planning $10 million in operating cost cuts to help close its funding gap, but the ever-changing bailout under consideration in the legislature would still leave it $12 million short.
Under the latest rescue proposal, lawmakers agreed to allow an increase this year in the hotel tax only, boosting it to 10 percent from 9 percent. ...

I actually forgot to make my sons birthday cake until the day before his surprise party. In my rush I forgot to support the middle of this six layer castle and of course it sunk. I have never made an entire cake like this in one day but all things considered it turned out ok. My son loved it. First time making castle...knight...dragon. Lots of learning experiences.

David Beckham Announces Retirement, Thanks Wife: 'I Owe Everything To Victoria'
David Beckham and Victoria Beckham arrive at the 27th Anniversary Sports Spectacular benefiting Cedars-Sinai Medical Genetics Institute at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza in Century City, Calif. on May 20, 2012 -- Getty Images
David Beckham is hanging up his cleats.
The 38-year-old soccer legend is retiring from the sport after a two-decade career, he announced on Thursday.
"I'm thankful to PSG for giving me the opportunity to continue but I feel now is the right time to finish my career, playing at the highest level," David wrote in a post on his Facebook page. "If you had told me as a young boy I would have played for and won trophies with my boyhood club Manchester United, proudly captained and played for my country over one hundred times and lined up for some of the biggest clubs in the world, I would have told you it was a fantasy. I'm fortunate to have realised those dreams."
PHOTOS: Sexy Soccer Stud David Beckham
The athlete thanked his teammates, parents, managers and fans, as well as his famous wife, Victoria Beckham.
"I wouldn't have achieved what I have done today without my family... I owe everything to Victoria and the kids, who have given me the inspiration and support to play at the highest level for such a long period," he wrote.

David - who has three sons and one daughter with Victoria -- said he plans to stay very active following his retirement and is looking forward to having more time to devote to new projects.
"Nothing will ever completely replace playing the game I love, however I feel like I'm starting a new adventure and I'm genuinely excited about what lies ahead," he wrote. "I'm fortunate to have been given many opportunities throughout my career and now I feel it's my time to give back."

The bulb-holders in the 1714TZ Norwich Chandelier can accommodate a candelabra bulb of 60 watts in each, with the bulbs placed in the open, to give the impression of a traditional lantern.

The 1714TZ Norwich Chandelier is characterized by curving metal stems culminating in curled flourishes below the bulb-holders. The 1714TZ Norwich Chandelier is suitable for hanging in living rooms, hallways and foyers at a minimum height of 7 feet from the floor surface, making it suitable for rooms with a ceiling height of just under 9.5 feet. The ideal room dimensions for effective placement of the 1714TZ Norwich Chandelier are a perimeter of 56 feet and an area of 360 square feet.

Expired question
Hi everybody, i have some questions about Swahili
I see that in Swahili "kwenda" means "go" and "kuenda" has the same meaning. So what's the different anyway? "Kitabu ni kizuri" is this sentence correct? Adj transforms too according to the verb before "ni"? Asante sana~
