my first dress-boots, very proud of it :)
Great style...Order one size smaller than ussually
Very nice shoes! Walking the whole day, and doing things is so comfortable. I love the style. The only disadvantage is that the white sole, becomes a little bit dusty after a week, but it is easy to clean.
Philip Hatchett
Love em!! Perfect for BMX
Good shoes for every day but this model fits a bit narrow; after a couple of weeks just perfect!
Niels Mostert
Size, style and price are perfect. It's just that I have a rather wide foot and these shoes are kind of narrow. So it took about 2 weeks before they were really comfortable.
Best shoes Ever great for skating in get sooooo many compliments on the style and look overall great shoe model, colours, style I personally recommend these
Steven Downie
These are a little stiff, but my lord do they look sharp! I get compliments on them all the time, very nice shoes, true black top...I just hate how the white gets dirty so fast, i wish shoes would stop putting a white border on the bottom.
Overall great shoe, have to break them in, but worth the style.

Missing Autistic Boy Found Dead Yards From N.E. D.C. Home
D.C. police said July 8 they are baffled about the circumstances surrounding the death of a 7-year-old autistic boy whose body was found just a few yards from where he was lasted spotted July 7.
The body of Michael Kingsbury, 7, was found in an abandoned vehicle in an alley behind his home 32 hours after he was last seen wearing only a pull-up diaper.
Police officials said they want to know how teams of searchers missed the old car parked in the alley behind his house. They also want to know the sequence of events linking the last known siting in his home and the grisly discovery in the car.more than a day later.
Katrina Kingsbury, his mother, said he went missing just after 9:47 a.m. at the family home in the 1700 block of West Virginia Ave. N.E.
"My daughter came in the room and told me that Michael dropped a bowl or something out the window and went outside to get it," said Kingsbury in a recent interview with the AFRO. "I threw on my robe and ran outside."
She said by the time she got outside Michael was gone.
This is not the first time Michael has wandered away from home. Kingsbury told the AFRO. Michael wandered away a few years ago and she later learned he was at a neighbor's house.
Kingsbury said her son was non-verbal and unable to communicate well. She has two other children.
"He doesn't know his address, but he has a photographic memory," said Kingsbury.
Michael, who is autistic, went missing about 9:30 a.m. July 6, touching off an extensive search involving police and residents. His body was found about 6 p.m. July 8 in the car, which was parked in an alley just two apartment buildings away from where he lived.
Acquaintances said his mother had been understandably devastated by the news. As loved ones rallied around her July 8, police investigators combed the car where his body was found. Officers refused to answer questions as they worked behind a yellow tape barricade. A lone police officer guarded the area late into the night.
"This is a sad day for the whole community," said Commissioner Petagay Lewis, the Advisory Neighborhood Commissioner in Michael's neighborhood near Gallaudet University.
After spending hours with grief counselors, Michael's mother spoke to the media late on July 8 near her home.
"I came out to thank everybody in the community for coming out and helping to find my child," said Kingsbury while fighting back tears.
Her father, Billy Byers, Michael's grandfather, stood next to her and comforted her while she spoke.
"She needs her space right now and she just wants to thank all of you," said Byers as he consoled his daughter. "We just want to wake up right now, but unfortunately, we're already awake."
Michael was last seen wearing a diaper. The description on the flyers stated that he was approximately 4'3" tall, approximately 60 pounds, with dreadlocks in his hair and a light complexion.
Several neighbors and friends milled about the street until after 11 p.m. on July 8. A makeshift memorial had been erected in the alley with a stuffed animal and lit candles.
Michael was described as a happy, joyful, intelligent child by his mother. She said her son, who had been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, was an amazing artist and loved to swim in the pool.
Local law enforcement agencies, missing child experts and local residents had been vigilantly canvassing the neighborhood where Michael was last seen.
Police officials said they conducted a door-to-door search in the surrounding Gallaudet and Trinidad neighborhoods hoping for leads to the missing boy's whereabouts. Officials said they were also investigating known sex offenders in the area.
Kingsbury had also reached out to people in the district through social media asking for the safe return of her son. She posted several photos of Michael on her Facebook page along with her phone number and issued a plea for help.
Robert Lowery Jr., senior executive director of the missing children division of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, said many times what the child is interested in leads to death.
"Some special needs children are attracted to water and are known to strip out of their clothes and drown in area pools," said Lowery. "Others are attracted to big trucks and cars and have wandered onto roadways and highways."

PHOTOS: Florida's rejected license plates aren't always offensive
St. Petersburg, Florida -- Police say they are looking for a man who attempted to abduct a 13-year-old girl from St. Petersburg.
The girl was able to break free and run home to her mother.
Police say it happened around 4:45 Tuesday afternoon in the 600 block of 31st Street South. The girl was reportedly walking home from school when she pased by two men sitting on the front porch of a home. One of the men called out to her, but the girl ignored him.
That's when the man ran out and grabbed her while the second man remained sitting on the porch. Based on the man's comments, he may have been planning to sexually assault her.
Fortunately, a third man ran up and started pushing the suspect off of the girl and the told her to run home.
The second man who sat on the porch never spoke or took any part in the attack. Police consider him just a witness at this time.
Police say the girl's injuries support her account of the assault.
After the girl made it back home, her mother called police. Investigators responded, but were unable to locate either the men who were on the porch or the Good Samaritan who helped the girl.
It is not clear if the men live at the residence where they were seen sitting on the porch.
Detectives are asking for the public's assistance in identifying the suspect in this case, as well as the identity of the Good Samaritan.
The suspect who attacked the girl is described as a black male in his early 20's, 5'8" tall with light skin, muscular build and full beard. Both of his ears are pierced with black and gray earrings. He had tattoos on the inside of both forearms and was last seen wearing a solid black t-shirt with black cargo style shorts, black socks and Nike sandals.
The man who remained sitting on porch is described as a black male in his early 20's, 5'8" tall with a dark complexion, very thin build, unshaven with small "twisty" braids in his hair. He was last seen wearing a black t-shirt with the Nike logo "Just Do It" written on the front, black gym shorts and blue stripes down the sides.

Private airplane tax break ignores so many problems
Faced with a daunting range of problems, from crumbling highways to mediocre public school test scores, state lawmakers plan to spring into action with a high priority: eliminating the sales tax on airplanes, airplane parts and servicing.
Proponents of the $12.5 million giveaway have cited the usual reason for the largess toward a handful of Pennsylvanians: job creation.
Well, not so much. The state's Independent Fiscal Office, which was created in 2010 to assess the impact of spending and revenue proposals on the state budget, conducted a study of the aviation tax exemption. Noting that other states bordering Pennsylvania have enacted partial aviation tax exemptions, the IFO found that those tax breaks had no impact on aviation-sector employment in those states.
The IFO also found that aircraft manufacturing employment increased in the state between 2005-2011, largely because of a Sikorsky Global Helicopters operation and a Boeing-Bell helicopter plant that produces military aircraft. Aviation retail sales employment has declined over that period, but there weren't many people buying new aircraft during the Great Recession.
One of the IFO's tasks is to determine what it would take to make a particular tax cut or spending increase "revenue neutral" regarding the budget. It found that about 4,700 new jobs would be needed to replace revenue lost from the proposed tax exemption.
If the bill passes, be prepared to send $1,320 to Harrisburg if you buy a $22,000 car. But if you get yourself a $22 million Citation X business jet, have a nice flight, and keep your tray table and campaign contributions in an upright position.

When you get a gift, it's the thought that counts. But sometimes the thought doesn't always fit.
That's just one of the reasons the National Retail Federation predicts that $62 billion dollars worth of merchandise will come back in the days after Christmas. But it seems it's not just about bringing gifts back anymore.
"Well the day after Christmas has really transformed from a return day to customers coming in and looking for after Christmas bargains," said Ray Gray, store leader for JC Penney in Tallahassee.
Gray has been doing retail for 30 years and says he's seen the shift. Stores like JC Penney put on post-Christmas sales in hopes that folks won't just return an item, but buy new ones as well.

DeKalb Police say they have determined that an armed robbery at the Cash King was not actually an armed robbery.
Police Chief Steven Jackson says the robbery was actually an inside job. Jackson says store manager Kathy Wooten and Chris Gordon are being charged with grand larceny, conspiracy to commit grand larceny, and false pretenses. Jackson tells Newscenter 11 that he has signed confessions from Wooten and Gordon. A third arrest is expected this coming week.
Chief Jackson says the hard work of his investigators and the help of other local law enforcement agencies helped in solving this investigation.

Good luck man! I think you're going to need it. At least mentally anyways.
Good luck man! I think you're going to need it. At least mentally anyways.
Wow that's awesome. Congrats and good luck!
I got a mt. goat years ago in CO and it was almost diappointingly easy, except for the altitude - 13,000 ft. I would fill the goat tag first because its probably easier and you have all of October to hunt sheep.
Goats are definitely going to have better hair in later Oct. than in Sept. You're not going to hit either of their ruts so you don't have to factor that in. Personally, I would focus on the sheep first then use Oct. for the goat, assuming you want one with good hair.
To the op, isn't it crazy how that works......you can go years without drawning a goat or ram tag and then BAM you get'em both in the same year. Good luck on your hunts
Personally I would go after the sheep, you can get goat tags in other states way better chance of drawing, or buy a hunt... also not to say goats are easy, but they are easier to spot, and can be seen off the road with good optics early, you may not get a pig, but its better than nothing. LUCKY SOB
Wow I really wish I could help but I hope your boss is a serious hunter. Good luck cuz that is tough in a lot of ways to be that fortunate to draw those tags.
I assume you have max pts for sheep? You may be able to turn back in the sheep tag and keep your points and draw that sheep tag next year...
Worst case scenario you have to make a sheep hunt and goat hunt happen in the same year in WY.
Good luck!
I did NOT have max points for sheep. I was 1 short of max. After speaking with several outfitters, biologists, and hunters, I have elected to hire an outfitter for the Sheep hunt and do the Mtn Goat hunt on my own. My sheep hunt will primarily take place from October 5th thru the end of the month. I'm going to hit the Mtn Goat hunt hard from September 20th thru the 5th. I'd like to wait for the Goats to hair up a bit and most guys who've hunted this that I've talked to said from about the 20th-1st they really put on the best hair and finding the goats is pretty easy. I really appreciate all the replies and well wishes. Hopefully this fall I can post up some good pictures. Thanks again guys and anybody with any advice for hunting either area, its greatly appreciated!
One down.......one to go!!! Harvested an 8.5" x 5.25" Billy middle of September. Sheep Hunting is going to start in a couple weeks. Can't wait to go after a ram!

WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- President Obama called on Congress to pass a temporary budget bill, which would avoid the upcoming sequestration scheduled to hit March 1, but it may be too late for some local workers.
Some government contractors and sub-contractors have started notifying employees they'll be laid off in a few weeks unless lawmakers act quickly. The continual limbo of last-minute stop-gap measures is making future planning nearly impossible.
The Congressional Budget Office says sequestration could cost as many as 1 million jobs, and put the U.S. into a second recession.

Sunshine, needed now more than ever
(Page 2 of 3)
Long Island's counties, towns, villages, school districts and "special taxing districts" award millions of dollars' worth of contracts to law firms, engineers, developers, contractors and subcontractors for all manner of work. How many times have you read about a "Republican-connected" or "Democratic-connected" law firm? How many state legislators' offices employ relatives of local political supporters and contributors? What sanitation district doesn't have relatives and cronies on the payroll? Why is it that when one party is in power, certain companies get lots of business in government contracts, while others are left to try to get "their" politicians elected next time? That's not evidence of corruption, but it sure does prove the need for transparency in how legislatures, councils, boards, mayors and commissioners decide who gets the people's tax money.
We would like to believe that politicians seek elective office to do good for their communities, but too many of them are in jail now because their lust for power, sense of self-importance and greed overcame whatever wholesome intentions they may have had. As the saying goes, They went to Albany to do good, and stayed there to do well.
Every citizen needs to assert his or her authority over our elected officials by demanding to know all the facts about how contracts are awarded, to whom, how the money gets spent and what the results are. It may be time for more levels of government to have independent inspectors general whom taxpayers can trust to watch over their money and guard their best interests. It may be time for more of us to follow President Reagan's dictum, "Trust, but verify."
Citizens Union has six recommendations for action that are worthy of consideration.
1. Pass comprehensive state campaign finance reform that improves public financing, creates strong and effective enforcement, closes loopholes, lowers contribution limits and ends the pay-to-play culture.

The Dragon defense held the visiting Akron squad to just five points in the first half while HHS put up 26 points. The second half was more of the same as Holyoke outscored the Rams 12-5 in the third quarter and 10-4 in the fourth for the 48-14 victory.

A Caveman with Convictions
A nationally acclaimed cartoonist is the latest casualty in the cultural elite's ongoing purge of Christian ideas from the mainstream media, but he hopes his persistence will expose them for "what they are" and help pierce the veil of journalistic objectivity
"A Caveman with Convictions" Continued...
Johnny Hart's home studio in rural New York State is filled with soft jazz music and soothing natural light. Here, for more than 36 years, the cartoonist has shared life with his caveman friend, B.C. Ink pens pepper Mr. Hart's drawing table. Drawing paper carpets his floor. Characters from "B.C." and his other famous strip, "The Wizard of Id," keep company with a litany of honors, including six-time recognition by The National Cartoonist Society for Best Humor Strip of the Year.
These days, shade trees outside his window regularly wave Mr. Hart hello. Reflections of clouds dance across a 30-acre lake. And, less happily, editorial bias routinely rips at Mr. Hart's lovable characters. Even a caveman knows why: The Los Angeles Times doesn't like Mr. Hart's-or B.C.'s-brand of Christianity, and its editors are willing to suspend their "liberalism" long enough to censor it. Mr. Hart told WORLD he believes his treatment by the Times is symptomatic of the battle for America's soul, and he likes "the idea that this has gotten Christians up in arms. That's what they all need."
He doesn't overstate the case: News media hostility to Christian truth is well-established and documented, and the most recent study represents the same song, second verse. Only one percent of the 44,000 news stories done by major TV networks last year even dealt with religion, according to the Washington, D.C.-based Media Research Center in a study released this month, "Faith in a Box: Television and Religion," 1995. MRC chairman L.Brent Bozell notes that the news stories that did cover religion "regularly attacked" Christian conservatives.
In Mr. Hart's case, for four years now the Times has refused to run his strips containing tasteful, witty Christian messages about Halloween, Easter, or Christmas. (The Atlanta Constitution since January has ceased altogether running Mr. Hart's strips.) Most recently, the Times refused to run Mr. Hart's Palm Sunday strip (see pp. 14-15).
Times spokeswoman Gloria Lopez told WORLD Mr. Hart's strip isn't the only one that has been pulled. Other examples she cited include "Doonesbury" and "The Far Side." Said Ms. Lopez: "The bottom line is the editors reserve the right to edit."
One evangelical journalist interviewed by WORLD gave a different perspective; the journalist spoke on the condition that he not be identified because of justifiable concern he'd be fired in retaliation for his remarks. The journalist recalled how in one big-city newspaper editorial meeting, an allusion to Easter as a "holy day" was met with visible derision. "About 25 percent of the people in the room just broke out laughing, like this was the biggest joke they'd ever heard in their life," the journalist said.
The same journalist worked for years at The Los Angeles Times. "Basically being at the Times, and I'd say almost any newspaper if you are a Christian, it is almost like being a lone ranger. There are just very few people who really understand what you're doing. You just assume that you are going to be misunderstood.
WORLD reported March 16 on how L.A. Times editors conducted something like an inquisition of the president of the Times's Orange County edition, Judy Sweeney, after she told a local evangelical college gathering of strains she faced as a Christian working alongside unbelievers. "She's gone," the former Times journalist said.
Though the Times's Lopez told WORLD that Ms. Sweeney "has the support of her colleagues at the Los Angeles Times," the former Times journalist predicted it is only a matter of time before Ms. Sweeney is fired or resigns under fire.
It was also only a matter of time for veteran Houston Chronicle religion writer Julia Duin, an evangelical Christian who is now culture editor for The Washington Times. She recounted to WORLD that as the Chronicle's religion writer, she once tried to respectfully sensitize a superior to how "offensive" abortion was to "over a half-million" people within the Chronicle's readership. During local pro-life demonstrations, the paper had been playing up local pro-choice coverage on the front page, while giving pro-lifers page C-8. "He just lost it and he really started screaming at me," Ms. Duin recalls. Three months later, suddenly, she was fired without explanation.
An explanation was all L. A. Times Syndicate columnist Cal Thomas wanted. A couple of hours had passed, and he still was waiting for a Good Morning America travel agent to call to set up his plane reservations to New York City to appear on the show. Finally Mr. Thomas called the show's producer, who told him they had decided to "make a switch" in a scheduled interview with Mr. Thomas about homosexuality in San Francisco.
"Why?" asked Mr. Thomas, who had done the show more than eight times in the past.
"Well," replied the producer, "my senior producer was afraid you would get on and quote some Bible verses."
Just a few minutes expired, and Mr. Thomas got a call from the show's top producer. "Before I tell you what I was told you said," Mr. Thomas told the morning show executive, "I want to hear from you why I am not on the show tomorrow."
"We wanted a different mix," she told him.
"What does that mean?" he asked.
"Well, ahh ... it's too complicated. You wouldn't understand."
"Try me," Mr. Thomas replied. "English is my first language.... Did you say that the reason you didn't want me on that program was that I might quote some Bible verses?"
"Well, uh ..."
When Mr. Thomas reiterated his question, she hedged: "Well, it's not important."
"Let me tell you something," Mr. Thomas said, "It is important. You'll have every other screwball on that show.... They even mention God in a blasphemous way on some of your entertainment programs. Are you saying I can't speak well of him?"
Mr. Thomas says he's come to expect that kind of treatment-"The Lord said, 'If they persecuted me, they'll persecute you.' ... You take it as a fact of life"-and it doesn't surprise him and no longer bothers him. Indeed, he believes God calls some Christians into the mainstream media, but that doesn't mean it will be easy, nor is it likely the prevailing anti-Christian sentiment in today's newspapers and network broadcasts will substantially change.
Much like the episode with Mr. Hart and the L.A. Times, a curious double standard seemed to be held by Good Morning America toward Christianity. As pro-life stalwart Cardinal John O'Connor noted in recent Easter messages, the mainstream media seem devoted to gutting popular culture of Christian influence. No one knows that better than Cardinal O'Connor, whose outspoken pro-life activism makes him a regular target of media ire.
Bias is most clearly evident in abortion coverage. The Media Research Center's study notes: "Pro-lifers are inextricably linked to a violent, radical fringe, while abortion advocates are harassed do-gooders operating in the peaceful mainstream."
The MRC study showed that while network news in 1995 ran 142 stories about alleged violence outside abortion clinics, they ran only three about violence to women inside the clinics due to "botched" abortions and none about all the violence of the "successful" ones. Nor did they bother reporting violence by pro-abortion activists. Among the stories that never saw the light of day on any major TV newscast was the indictment of pro-abortion activist Daniel Adam Mahoney under the federal Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances law last April for threatening to kill workers at a crisis pregnancy center. Another pro-abortion activist, Alice Hand, was arrested after threatening to blow up a Catholic church for its pro-life stance. Again, no network reported the episode; The New York Times, however, did file reports.
Focus on the Family's Public Policy Division analyzed national press coverage of the partial-birth abortion debate and issued a report indicating serious bias against the pro-life effort. Among Focus's findings: Counter to evidence, the press frequently claimed that the technique was used largely just to save a mother's life, or in cases of severely deformed unborn babies; counter to evidence, the press reported the method as largely tested and safe; counter to evidence, the press reported that, during the technique, babies were killed by the anesthesia, before having their skulls crushed and brains sucked out.
Further evidence of bias came in the form of an internal CNN directive, obtained by Focus on the Family, that was sent to CNN correspondents. It said: "Regarding the medical procedure that abortion foes call a 'partial birth abortion,' 'Partial birth abortion' is not a medical term. It is a phrase used by abortion foes and is as loaded in the abortion debate as the term 'pro-life.' Best way to describe this rarely-performed procedure is 'a type of late term abortion.' Doctors call it an 'intact D and E.'"
Some worldview instructions are transmitted secretly; others very publicly. In 1984, when Baltimore Sun political correspondent Fred Barnes raised the religion issue, he received his reprimand immediately. On stage, presidential candidates Walter Mondale and Ronald Reagan stood behind their respective podiums, and Mr. Barnes asked each of them:
"Do you consider yourself a born-again Christian and what role does your faith play in your decision-making?" Spectators behind Mr. Barnes hissed; in the next few days, he received piles of mail, mostly from people who were hostile to the idea of Christianity ever being mentioned in public, let alone in a political context.
Providentially, a number of talk-show hosts asked Mr. Barnes to be a guest and one of the shows was The McLaughlin Group. The guest appearance led to a permanent gig. In 1985 Mr. Barnes left newspaper reporting to join The New Republic, and today he is executive editor of The Weekly Standard, a conservative magazine.
Mr. Barnes was hissed for asking a question about faith, but the powers of the press are applauding homosexuals who have not only come out of the closet but are on parade. Back in June, 1994, when Boston Globe columnist Jeff Jacoby wrote that a Gay Pride Day was filled with boasting of "carnal desire" and questioned "whether the essence of our selves is merely the total of our thirsts and desires," about 13 homosexual Globe journalists protested to the Globe's top brass: "We think some of his statements violate the Globe's policies on the treatment of minorities." To his boss's credit, the accusations were dismissed. But Mr. Jacoby couldn't help noting later in The Lambda Report on Homosexuality: "For a group of 13 journalists-some of whom are critics paid to make judgments about other people and their works-to attack a fellow journalist for expressing his opinion is shocking." He added that the gays' expressed goal of promoting "'an environment where individual dignity is respected' is stunningly hypocritical."
Nowhere was the hypocrisy more evident than at last October's gathering of the 1,200-member National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association. Among those making donations and/or sending recruiters: Knight-Ridder, Gannett, The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post, The Miami Herald, Scripps Howard, Hearst Newspapers, NBC News, and CBS News. The group's president and founder, Leroy Aarons, a former L.A. Times and Washington Post editor, exclaimed at the fifth annual meeting: "So much has changed in the last five years. Many of us are out now in our newsrooms [and] fighting publicly and courageously ... educating our non-gay counterparts to understand the complexities and the nuances of the gay and lesbian community." After the national press masters gay "nuances," maybe it can move on to evangelical "complexities."
A 1995 poll by the Times Mirror Center for the People and the Press showed that only four percent of the national media think "homosexuality should be discouraged in society." Moreover, the MRC reports that, in 1995, 59 evening news shows and 48 morning shows were devoted to almost completely positive portrayals of the gay lifestyle.
Perhaps it took a caveman with convictions to reawaken Christians to challenge the prevailing anti-Christian sentiment of America's newsrooms-whether it's at the L.A. Times or elsewhere. Whatever the case, the war stories from the files of Christian media professionals can be summed up in the blunt assessment of The Weekly Standard's Mr. Barnes: "The media is basically hostile to Christianity."
On this score, Johnny Hart's not surprised his strips are creating waves. "I think it's God, really. Because he's orchestrating all this. He's a little early for me, because I'm not totally prepared.... This is like a firestorm almost."
Still, B.C.'s best friend says he has no plans to pull out of the L.A. Times, which, by the way, relented and ran late the B.C. Palm Sunday strip, as well as the Good Friday and Easter panels, albeit on the religion page. No, says Mr. Hart, with trademark impishness, "I think I'd kind of like to hang around. If we take the strip away from them, they win the victory. If we hang in there, they are just simply exposing themselves. They are showing the world what they are."
All this, of course, could be avoided if "they" would just admit up front "what they are." Yet they continue to pretend worldview doesn't matter, that they can report the news "objectively."
And the issue is not journalistic affirmative action for Christians. The experience of these media professionals shows that quality Christian journalists can be hired in the mainstream press and, once there, have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; yet experience shows that they often get snagged-or get the hook-when they embark on the pursuit of truth. At other times, they just get plain tired of always being the newsroom misfit. In the cases of Julia Duin, Fred Barnes, and Cal Thomas, all three have moved into roles that allow them more freedom to seek truth-Mr. Thomas as a commentator, Mr. Barnes at the conservative Weekly Standard, and Ms. Duin at the philosophically friendly Washington Times.
It will always be important to have Christians pitching their tents inside hostile territory; maybe just as significant to the future of American journalism is the chance to demonstrate an alternative model. That's how it has been throughout the history of American journalism: A self-satisfied elite has come under challenge from peasants with pens-or, in more recent history, PCs. Christian journalism, which dominated the American press until 1840, gave way to the liberal theology of Horace Greeley and his disciples. Their oxymoronic sense of an objective but essentially godless reality in turn gave way to the anything-radical-goes subjectivity that now dominates the most influential publications and programs. Will that in turn be succeeded by a new birth of Bible-based journalism? Just look for the caveman's drawings on the walls.

India is one of the larger countries in the world (7th largest to be exact), but most of us don't know much about it. We really should though as the country has a very interesting history and noteworthy facts. We think that you will be surprised with a few of these, so here are some fact highlights:
War History
India has never invaded a single country in its entire history. There aren't too many large countries who can make the same claim. We think that this is pretty special.
Obesity Epidemic
Obesity never used to be much of an issue in India, however, since westernized foods have become more obtainable the weight issues have increased and so has the amount of health issues.
The Home Of Chess
A long long time ago chess was invented and India is where it was created. Its origins date back to the 6th century AD.
Post Offices
An interesting fact is that India has the most amount of post offices in the world, greater than any other country.
Believe it or not, but the world's first University was established in India. Established in 700BC, this University offered 60 subjects and attracted students from all over the world. This is a very impressive feat!
India is a large miner of diamonds and up until 1896, it was the only diamond miner in the world.
Yoga first originated in India. Yoga has now been in existence for approximately 5,000 years!

WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- The Ravens-Texans contest will be one of the more emotionally charged battles during the 2013 season. Surefire Hall of Famer Ed Reed will be making his return to M&T Bank Stadium, and while it's unclear whether he will suit up, his presence alone will stir up some sentimental feelings.
The Texans have played down to their competition to begin the 2013 season, although they still sit at 2-0 with close wins over the Titans and Chargers. The Ravens haven't played up their standards either and sit at 1-1 after topping the Browns last Sunday.
By The Numbers
-In 2012 Houston handed Baltimore it's most lopsided loss of the season -- a 43-13 drubbing.
-The Ravens have yet to establish their run game in 2013. They rank 23rd in the league and starter Ray Rice may be hampered with a hip injury.
-Joe Flacco's QB rating is 78.1, which ranks 24th in the league. Texans quarterback Matt Schaub ranks 15th in the NFL with a 92.8.
-Houston is 8th in total offense and has yet to fumble the ball this season.
Key Matchups
Torrey Smith vs. the Texans secondary
Houston is allowing just 156 pass yards per game, and has done a brilliant job of limiting big plays. Torrey Smith has possibly been the Ravens most consistent player. In two games he's amassed 177 yards and is averaging 16.1 yards per catch. Utilizing smith will be a key for the Baltimore offense.
Bernard Pierce vs. the Texans defense
Pierce will likely receive a bulk of the carries with Ray Rice ailing with a hip injury. Pierce is a power back with not a ton of speed. The Ravens would like to establish the run, but if it isn't working early, they may ditch it all together.
DeAndre Hopkins vs. the Ravens secondary
Houston's rookie receiver has opened up eyes across the league. He's 6-foot-1, 220 pounds, flashing speed and strength in his first two games. Last week against the Titans he was targeted a whopping 13 times. With Andre Johnson likely receiving double coverage, Hopkins could be the playmaker which does the Ravens in.
WUSA9 Prediction
Texans 38, Ravens 28

Guy Clark
Clark was born in the West Texas town of Monahans, where he was raised mostly by his grandmother (his mother worked and his father was in the Army), who ran the town hotel. One of her residents was an oil well driller who would later end up the subject of one of Clark's most moving and stunningly beautiful songs, "Desperados Waiting for a Train." Many of Clark's songs, in fact, have centered around his days growing up in West Texas, including "Texas 1947" (from his debut album) and the 1992 song "Boats to Build," which harked back to a summer job he once had as a teenager on the Gulf Coast.
The first songs Clark learned were mostly in Spanish. Later, when he moved to Houston and began working the folk music circuit, he met fellow songwriter Townes Van Zandt (the two often toured together until Van Zandt's death in 1997) and blues singers Lightnin' Hopkins and Mance Lipscomb. It was here that Clark began playing and writing his sturdy brand of folk- and blues-influenced country music.
In the late '60s, Clark moved to California, living first in San Francisco (where he met and married his wife Susanna, a painter and songwriter) and then in Los Angeles, where he worked in the Dopyera brothers' Dobro factory. Tiring quickly of Southern California (sentiments he expressed in another of his classics, "L.A. Freeway"), he and Susanna packed up and headed for Nashville in 1971, where he picked up work as a writer with publishing companies and, eventually, a recording contract with RCA. Clark's first album, Old No. 1, came out in 1975, a few years after Jerry Jeff Walker had turned "L.A. Freeway" into a minor hit. By this time Clark was considered one of the most promising young writers in country music, and while he didn't live in Texas anymore, the state's influence still ran thick in his blood.
Clark recorded one more album for RCA, Texas Cookin', in 1976 before switching to Warner Bros. for his next three albums, released between 1978 and 1983. Three of his songs from these albums cracked the Top 100. By the mid-'80s, however, a number of his songs had been made into hits by country stars such as Johnny Cash, David Allan Coe, Ricky Skaggs (who took "Heartbroke" to number one), George Strait, Vince Gill, and the Highwaymen. Clark continued to work as a writer but didn't record again until 1988's Old Friends, released by Sugar Hill. He then switched labels once more, this time to Asylum, which released his 1992 album Boats to Build as part of their acclaimed American Explorer series.
His eighth album, Dublin Blues, came out in 1995, and among its finely crafted moments is a rereading of one of his most enduring songs, "Randall Knife," about the death of his father. Cold Dog Soup followed in 1999. Clark released Dark in 2002, followed by Workbench Songs in 2006. The DVD Live from Austin TX arrived the following year. A much needed survey of Clark's key songs covering the years 1975 to 1995 called Hindsight 21-20 appeared from Raven Records late in 2007. His 11th studio album, Somedays the Song Writes You, arrived in 2009. The year 2011 found Clark releasing Songs and Stories (recorded live at the Belcourt Theatre in Nashville), an intimate recap of his 40 years as a singer, songwriter, and storyteller. Clark's wife Susanna passed in 2012. A year later in 2013, Clark's first new studio album in four years, My Favorite Picture of You, was released, an intimate set of songs showing that Clark at the age of 71 was still a master songwriter, as good and as elegantly moving as ever. ~ Kurt Wolff & Steve Leggett

Gore Bike Wear ALP-X 2.0 Short Sleeve Women's Jersey $0.00
Summer mountain bike rides are often tougher than a basic jersey. All-day outings on the trail require the use of a backpack, which frequently abrades jersey fabric, shortening the life span of what was once your favorite cycling piece. The Gore Bike Wear Women's Alp-X 2.0 Short-Sleeve Jersey , part of Gore's newest line of mountain bike performance wear for women, is built to last, in addition to being packable, durable, and versatile. The line has common ventilation features throughout so it will perform as well when used with matching pieces as it does individually.
The Women's Alp-X 2.0 Jersey is a true off-road piece. The breathable, stretchy, fast-drying microfiber fabric has excellent thermoregulation qualities and is lightweight to boot. Mesh inserts are sewn on the sleeves, underarm, and paneling on the front of the jersey to allow for maximum ventilation. Mesh down the center of the back adds a cooling feature so you aren't doubling up when you're wearing a pack. For additional ventilation, a full length zipper with a semi-locking slider gives you the ability to unzip the jersey to exactly where you want it without the worry of your zipper coming undone. The zipper's underflap runs the entire length of the zipper, protecting your undergarments and shorts from abrasion by the zipper.
Silicone prints on the shoulder makes the area where pack straps lay abrasion resistant so your jersey lasts longer, and keeps the straps from slipping as well. The Alp-X 2.0 jersey is sewn into a slim fit with contrasting flat-lock seams that eliminate chafing where seams commonly rub. Ample storage pockets on the back of the jersey make it easy to go packless when the occasion calls for it. Two compartment pockets and a pump pocket on the rear offer organized places for ride nutrition, spare tubes, and your hand pump. Two mesh side pockets add easy access to your camera or bars. Partially elastic gripper on the hem keeps the jersey in place.
The Gore Bike Wear Women's Alp-X 2.0 Short-Sleeve Jersey comes in Citrus Green, Pool Blue, Thai Pink, Earth/black, and Black. It is available in sizes from X-Small to XX-Large.
- Lightweight fabric wicks and dries quickly
- Full-length zip and mesh inserts offer cooling ventilation
- Multiple pockets, including two patch pockets, a hand pump pocket on back, and two side mesh pockets, give you an impressive amount of storage space
- Gripper elastic on the back hem helps keep the jersey in place as you hop over logs and bounce down rocky trails
- Reflective logos and piping help you stay visible even as day fades into night

Reviews & Community
Very nice well made jersey.
This is very nice and comfortable. This jersey is almost mesh everywhere,so perfect for sweaty summer cycling.
The back has a pocket in the center and very practical design.
I really liked the way it's made.
I highly recommend it if you like the color.
"Can't stand the heat?"...
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
While it's way too cold here at the time of this posting (it's still snowing in my area!); I can say this thing has to be comfortable for HOT summers...the whole thing seems to be made of "netting"! Sure wish I had this for past summer seasons rides. It's so thin, I wonder how durable it will be...will keep posted if any problems arise. A note on fit: seems to run true-to-size, I order a XXL for a 40" chest size in tops and there is plenty of room, wonder if a size down would have been better, but the color/size/price was right in-line, so no big deal. Have also got the new ALP-
X 3.0 from Gore (red), and the only difference I can see is the design of abrasion patches on the shoulders. So at half price, stock up!
UP-DATE: Used on a long, hot ride and this shirt was wonderfully "cool"; especially love the mesh venting allowing a "cool" breeze at arm pits, and back (even wearing a full pack). One word on durability: the mesh back panel already snagged from the pack; the price you pay for a little breeze, I guess. Comfortable shirt for everyday rides and everyday bods, too!

Abortion Present | Federal Freedom of Choice Act may reverse some of the gains made against abortion on the state level
As a young mother, Terri Herring had no political ambitions. But at age 25, while in the hospital after the birth of her third son, some pro-life activists came in and photographed the new baby with Herring's obstetrician, Beverly McMillan.
McMillan had the dubious distinction of having opened the first abortion clinic in the state of Mississippi. But after converting to Christianity, she quit the abortion business and became a vocal advocate for the unborn. The activists who visited Herring that day, friends of McMillan's, asked Herring if they could publish the photo they'd snapped on the cover of a pro-life magazine.
Herring said yes-and also started asking questions.
Questions like, how long into a pregnancy can a woman have an abortion? And, if a young girl gets an abortion, does she have to tell her parents?
Herring says now: "I didn't like the answers."
That was 1985. The following year, she attended a pro-life convention in Jackson, Miss. Mentored by a pro-life lobbyist named Karl Faulster, Herring and five other young moms, dew-fresh from the grassroots, bounced from office to office in the statehouse, telling legislators what most Mississippians did not know: that their minor daughters were legally allowed to sneak off for secret abortions. Shortly thereafter, the legislature passed the first two-parent consent law in the nation.
Since then, Herring, McMillan, and a coalition of committed pro-life activists have worked with state lawmakers to pass more than 20 statutory restrictions on abortion. The result: Six of the state's seven abortion clinics have shut down, and the number of abortions has plunged from a high of 8,184 in 1991 to 2,932 in 2007, a decline of 64 percent.
With only one clinic remaining and its abortionist, Joseph Booker, age--eligible for Medicare, Mississippi pro-life activists were nearing the threshold of becoming America's first post-Roe abortion-free state.
Until now.
Nationwide political shifts over the past three years have set the stage for Congress to wipe out not only Mississippi's progress, but similar pro-life gains across the country. With both chambers under Democratic control and Barack Obama in the White House, federal legislation called the Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA) could, with the stroke of a presidential pen, eliminate the pro-life legislation many states have enacted.
The trouble started in 2007. When the Supreme Court that April upheld the federal partial-birth abortion ban, some congressional Democrats correctly interpreted the ruling as a signal that abortion advocates could no longer rely on the high court to uphold an unfettered right to abortion. That same month, then-senator Barack Obama, with 19 Democratic co-sponsors, introduced FOCA.
Since 1993, abortion rates have declined for many reasons. One is legislative: Scores of state laws have mandated informed consent, waiting periods, ultrasound use, and parental involvement in minor girls' abortion decisions. Many regulations force abortion clinics to adhere to the same health and safety standards as other ambulatory medical facilities.
But FOCA, as written, would kill all such laws and even sever the handful of federal reins on abortion, such as the longstanding Hyde Amendment, which prohibits federal funding of abortion, and the partial-birth abortion ban.
FOCA proponents say the legislation would merely "codify Roe," or turn federal case law into statutory law. But Americans United for Life senior counsel Clarke Forsythe calls that "legal sleight of hand. The heart of FOCA is that it declares abortion to be a fundamental right. FOCA goes beyond Roe, and court cases since Roe, because no court has ever ruled abortion a fundamental right," like voting or free speech.
FOCA also nullifies any interference with abortion or discrimination against abortion, and applies both retroactively and in the future. This could affect even the "Choose Life" license plates available in some states, the proceeds of which fund pregnancy resource centers.
Some pro-life Democrats say the bill won't make it out of the Senate. "We had 78 House Democrats support the federal partial-birth abortion ban, as well as 17 in the Senate," said Kristin Day, director of Democrats for Life of America in Washington, D.C. That those same senators would now overturn something they voted for just six years ago, Day said, "doesn't make a lot of sense."
Day said she doesn't believe Democratic leaders will try to push FOCA this year in either legislative chamber. "It would be very divisive in the Democratic caucus," she said. "There were a lot of pro-life people in Congress who supported Obama for president."
During the campaign, Obama the candidate talked of the need to "reduce" abortion and provide more support for pregnant women. To that end, DFLA is throwing its weight behind the Pregnant Women's Support Act (PWSA), which Rep. Lincoln Davis, D-Tenn., and Sen. Bob Casey Jr., D-Pa., introduced in the House and Senate, respectively. PWSA advocates talk about reducing abortion by 95 percent over 10 years by offering material and emotional support for women who want to carry their pregnancies to term.
Casey, of course, is the poster-guy for Democrats' born-again abortion rhetoric. After so-called "values voters" helped the GOP trounce the Democrats in the 2000 and 2004 general elections, Democratic leaders began softening their abortion message. Strident stumping about a woman's "right to choose!" gave way to sound-bites about the tragic necessity of abortion and attempts to reduce the number. But now that the Democrats are in power once again, FOCA rather than PWSA is getting the press.
It was FOCA that Obama-the-candidate supported on the campaign trail. At a July 2007 fundraising event for the Planned Parenthood Action Fund (the group's political action committee), Obama said, "Well, the first thing I'd do as president is sign the Freedom of Choice Act. That's the first thing that I'd do."
Wild applause ensued.
Conservative legal analysts are not applauding. "Every scholar I've talked to assumes the federal courts will either not touch FOCA, or would uphold it," said Clarke Forsythe, senior counsel for Americans United for Life.
That's because two parts of the Constitution-the Commerce Clause and the 14th Amendment-give Congress the power to pass such a law. Historically, abortion supporters have waged their war on the bases of personal privacy and autonomy. But Forsythe and other analysts say FOCA proponents will this time argue that abortion is a medical procedure that flows in interstate commerce.
Accordingly, Forsythe has "no confidence that courts will throw out FOCA. To win against FOCA, we're going to have to keep it from getting to Obama's desk." AUL is fighting on three fronts: To date, the group has collected more than 325,000 signatures on its "Fight FOCA" petition (fightfoca.com).
The group is also publishing data on abortion in Maryland, Connecticut, Hawaii, Nevada, Washington, and California, states that have FOCAs of their own. While the national abortion rate has been falling since 1990, abortion in FOCA states has fallen less sharply, remained static, or increased.
AUL in late November published a model resolution criticizing and rejecting FOCA. The idea is for state law-makers to pass the resolution in their own states, putting federal legislators on notice that the folks back home wouldn't take kindly to their hijacking states' rights to regulate abortion.
Back in Mississippi, Terri Herring said, pro-life activists are both bracing for FOCA and pressing forward in spite of it: They are working to pass AUL's resolution, and also new legislation that would impose strict reporting requirements for abortions performed on minors, as well as live births to minors, both of which often result from statutory rape.
Still, the thought that FOCA could instantly reverse Mississippi's progress in fighting abortion causes Herring's throat to close with tears. "It's unimaginable," she said. "This has been my life's work. I would hope that something so radical would cause an uprising from people across the United States, demanding that these common-sense laws not be struck with the stroke of a pen."

There is good news for Beallsville Blue Devils fans, Coach Paul Kanzigg and his crew picked up their first victory of the high school football season last Friday night against Frontier.
Unfortunately, there is also a little bit of bad news. Unbeaten, and Ohio-ranked, Shadyside (5-0) is next up and will be paying a visit to Monroe County on Friday night.
For Beallsville, the Tigers have been nothing but a giant thorn in their side over the two school's last five meetings dating back to the 2002 season, which includes a pair of playoff games.

File Photo by Mike Palmer
Shadyside's Chris Littell (23) gets past Linsly's Chinelo Oparanozie (34) en route to quarterback Jibri Blount (11) during their game last week.
While Coach Mark Holenka's Orange-and-Black squeezed out a 7-6 victory last year in Tigertown, the previous five meetings have gone to Shadyside by a combined, and amazing, 212-16, margin with three shutouts.
And to make matters even worse, the Tigers bring in an offense that has already put up 190 points this season to take on a Blue Devils defense that has allowed 186 through five games.
Shadyside's first real test of the season came a week ago at Fleming Field against Linsly as the Cadets managed to get to the half with the game scoreless. However, the Tigers managed to claw their way to a 17-3 victory, while Beallsville was picking up its first victory of the season, 43-32, at Frontier that same night.
"The spirit at practice this week has been a lot better and the kids have a little more bounce in their step," Kanzigg said. "That win really helps us a bunch on an emotional aspect, but I just hope it can carry over into this week."
Holenka liked the way his team rallied in the second half against Linsly.
"It was gut-check time for us in the second half and I think we get a check mark for how we performed," Holenka commented. "We really rose to the occasion.
"We faced a little adversity, we didn't finish things we needed to finish in the first half or accomplish what we wanted to do. But we got our focus and got a good win. The really nice thing was that the kids got to play four quarters, we were in a physical game and we ended up with no injuries."
In not being challenged during the first four encounters, Shadyside has not racked up a lot of offensive stats, but do not fooled, the Tigers can move the ball with the best of them.
Senior quarterback Chase Kinemond has thrown for more than 400 yards and nine touchdowns and even ran for 151 yards last week against Linsly. His main targets are classmate Cody Hudson and lanky sophomore Austin Dorris, who have combined for 25 catches and almost 400 yards.
Brooks Ramsey, another senior, has picked up over 300 yards and two scores on the ground while junior Chris Littell is nearing 200 and has hit pay dirt on four occasions. Senior Ian Baker is a big-time threat in the return game for the Tigers.
"Shadyside is a very well balanced, well coached team," Kanzigg said. "And we have several young kids on defense and we have had major problems tackling. That is something that we definitely have to work on and do better with this week."
Beallsville, meanwhile, is a team that has racked up plenty of statistics through the first half of the campaign, but only one victory. Senior Teryn Jarrett, a four-year starter at quarterback, is one of the best in the entire valley.
Jarrett has completed 92 of 172 passes and already thrown for 1,307 with 11 touchdowns and six picks, for a team that is sitting at 1-4. His favorite receiver is Drew Tubaugh who has 26 grabs for 337 and three scores. Tubaugh is coming off an 11 catch for 182 yards and two score performance a week ago.
Bruce Sefert, Gage Steele and Tubaugh are also threats in the running game, with each scoring at least one touchdown, and Sefert a pair, against the Cougars.
"They are a team flying high after a win and you have to be careful against a team like that," Holenka admitted. "Add to that the fact that they have a four-year quarterback that puts points on the board and you have a dangerous team."

Off-duty style is a genre usually best interpreted by those pretty faces walking the runway – but this fall, DKNY is taking a stab at it. With the help of fashion's favorite It girl Cara Delevingne, the label has created a 15-piece capsule collection full of varsity and leather jackets, sporty separates, and loud tees. It's set to launch this October.
Images via Fashion-Press.com
Spawned from an exchange of jumpsuit-related ideas, the line also (not-so-surprisingly) includes both hooded and mesh-detailed jumpsuit styles. According to the brand, the laid-back collaboration is "equal parts Cara's individual quirk and DKNY's urban edge."
Part of that quirk is Cara's humorous touch on the tees, with statements like "If you can read this, you're too close" paired with a cross-eyed peek at her forehead. That said, I think it's worth getting up close and personal with this collection (especially its outerwear).

SUBJECT: how to unlock password to restore iPhone backup Windows
KEYWORDS: password to restore iPhone backup Windows
KEYWORDS: password to restore iPhone backup Windows
What happens if I leave the encrypted backup in iTunes and sync the phone as a new device, restoring my apps, but can not restore my data? Could I then restore from the encrypted iPhone backup files?
One advisor said: I understand your frustration but as with the point of having an encrypted backup is so nobody else can get to your data. While you may not remember setting a password for the backup at some point you did and maybe you just didn't realize what it was asking when it prompted. I assume you have tried your various passwords you use for such things?
As for losing contacts, well since you opted not to sync with something it was a risk you were running by choice. Yes you don't have to sync with your computer but there are many options to reset iPhone 4 backup password such as syncing with Google Contacts instead which happen over the air instead of having to plug in.
Depending on what data you are talking about most of it should still be on your computer. Since each app is different it is hard for us as users like you to give more insight, but if you are talking about some app like for documents that you sync over then they should be on your computer in first place. Apps, music, video all should be on your computer as well. I can guess some apps may be unique to you and have data only in them.
I would just say keep trying various passwords you may of set. And if you are married or have kids that use your computer to ask them to try some of their passwords.
Reality of the situation is that, without that password, you are not getting your data back. Apple's security with encryption and such is actually quite good (keychain, encrypted disk images, and so on - all use strong AES standards), and the whole point of it is that, without the specific password, nobody should be able to get the data. Security that can be bypassed or easily change iPhone backup password, or with the infamous Hollywood's "backdoor" approach is not, in fact, security.
Sorry that it is so frustrating, but that encrypted data is gone unless you can come up with the password you set.
I do see only the one encrypted iPhone backup, but I also have the option of restoring the new phone from three different iPad backups. I only have one iPad Two of the iPd backups have different date-time groups (DTG), and one has no DTG associated with it. Not that backing the phone up from the iPad would be of any help. However, it seems odd that there is only the one iPhone backup and three iPad backups, given your previous post.
If I give up and sync it as a new device, I will save the encrypted data to a back up HD. Just in case I magically recover iPhone backup password I don't even remember setting.
Well, thanks to them, I finally tried tool - iPhone Backup Password Recovery to help me crack iPhone backup password . To get it, we can Google search "iPhone Backup Password Unlocker" or visit its product site: http://www.windowspasswordsrecovery.com/product/iphone-backup-unlocker.htm
The iPhone Backup Password Unlocker tool has helped number of people since its coming. Will help you Apple users go missing iPhone backup password efficiently plus the most significantly, that can help us get valuable data backup.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Jason Mraz will perform in Myanmar next month to raise awareness about human trafficking.
The Grammy-winning singer-songwriter will headline a free outdoor concert on Dec. 16 at People's Square in Yangon, at the base of Shwedagon Pagoda.
Mraz is believed to be the first international artist to perform an open-air concert in the country. The show includes local acts and is hosted by MTV EXIT, the music channel's initiative to raise awareness about human trafficking and exploitation.
Mraz hosted a similar concert in the Philippines last year. He says he's going to Yangon "with an enormous amount of gratitude and respect, and I hope we can actually make a difference."
The show will be broadcast on Myanmar national TV and will air on MTV's international network in 2013.

text: Has anyone done this hunt or know anything about it? It looks like it has plenty of public land but does any of it hold deer? I'm not looking for a monster. I would be more than happy with just seeing a few 140+ bucks on this hunt. And if I came home with something around 140 I would be very happy. If anyone could help me out I would apperciate it.

I think it would be very helpful to new-comers (and semi-new-comers like me) for people to simply tell what the conditions are where they ride and how they ride them. There is a great deal of collective wisdom in this forum, and I would love to hear others ideas. Again, no preconceived notions just a place for us to explain where and how we ride and why we choose to ride that way so others can learn from our ideas good or bad.
I ride in two distinctly different areas: Where I live and where I work.
Where I live:
Small town with all 25MPH speed limits and sidewalks where it is illegal to ride.
Here I ride in the roadway and take the lane wherever it is too narrow for a car to pass or where I need to stay out of the "door zone". This is typically not too much of an issue as there is seldom a great deal of traffic, and I can get pretty close to the speed limit. I do sometimes jump into a parking lot if there is one alongside the roadway where I can easily get back to the road to allow vehicles behind me to pass. Just to be courteous.
Where I work:
Just outside of my town is rural/suburbia with lots of 4 and 5 lanes roads with center turn lanes and 45-55 MPH speed limits. Most of this area is commercial with lots of heavily and not so heavily trafficked private drives. Along almost all of these roads are MUP's which are just wide sidewalks where it is legal to bike and they are offset from the road about 5'. I ride mostly on the MUP's as the roads here are like the wild west the rate of accidents being at least 10x what I would find in my city. I chose to ride the MUP's and take it slowly out here being very wary of private drives, etc, but my commute is only 5 miles and I ride an old MTB so going slow is not too hard . In the summer there is actually a fair amount of bicycle and pedestrian traffic on the MUP's so I have found that most drivers DO actually check the MUP's for traffic, most of the time.
EDIT: Type of Riding:
I am a utilitarian/commuter/MTBer. I don't race or own a roadie although I am not opposed to it.
So how and where do you ride, and what do you think of how I ride?
Note to MODS: It may be nice if people like this idea to make this thread a "reference only" one and move discussions to another thread.
