Here at 'Esc' we love extreme feats of physical endurance and when coupled with a pretty inspirational 'escape the city' type story we're going to shout about them. So if you're in need of inspiration of this damp, dull day in London check out James Bowthorpe's story.
James, a cabinet maker from Balham, escaped the city earlier this year to embark on a truly inspirational journey. He set out to try and become the fastest man to cycle round the world, a record set by Mark Beaumont a few years ago. In order to do this he would have to average about 120 miles a day for 150 days carrying all his own kit! The great news is that after five and a half months he's almost back. He is due to arrive in Hyde Park on Saturday and in doing so smash the record by some 3 weeks. Esc salutes James for what is an incredible escape story and in due course we aim to showcase him in more detail once of course his legs have recovered.
In the meantime if you want to find out more check out James' website http://www.globecycle.org/

EMS in King County
In your September 8th issue of the Northlake News, I was somewhat shocket at the contents of a "letter to the editor" from Mr. Eduardo Garrido. The letter unfortunately contains many gross misstatements of fact and leads the reader to be concerned about emergency medical service in the Kenmore-Northshore area. The writer states that he talked to a fire fighter where he obtained his information and I hope that we have not contributed to his misunderstanding. Regardless, I would like to set the record straight.
The EMS system in King County is recognized throughout the world as the best. The Northshore Fire Department is a full partner in this system. The system is referred to as a "tiered" system. Most critical to survival of cardiac arrest is early detection and treatment. The most efficient situation is a winessed collapse where the E9-1-1 telephone system is used and the citizen begins CPR while the emergency units respond. The first responder is an aid car or fire truck from one of four fire stations, manned by Fire Fighter/EMT's, trained in automatic defibrillation. They are followed immediately by a "Medic Unit" manned by Fire Fighter/Paramedics or Paramedics from Evergreen Hospital. The patient when stabilized, is trasnported by our Paramedics to the appropriate hospital emergency department for continuing treatment. To the best of my knowledge, no private ambulance service is a "first responder" anywhere in King County and definitely not in the Northshore area. Ambulances are utilized for routine hospital transport of non-life threatening patients.
The statistical analysis conducted by the Center for Evaluation of Medical Services, EMS Division of Seattle-King Co. Department of Public Health and the University of Washington, Drs. Mickey Eisenberg and Richard Cummins, and others, indicate that survival rates in King County are excellent and have not been duplicated in any other major metropolitan area. The assertion that New York City provides better EMS services is just plainly incorrect. It is nationally recognized in the medical and emergency community, that the "best place to have a heart attack is in the Seattle-King County area."
In most fire departments in this area, EMS responses by fire fighter/EMT's account for 70 percent of our total emergency responses. I believe that most citizens recognize the high quality of EMS services provided by their local fire departments. The county wide EMS Levy provides critical funding to insure this high level of service to our citizens. I am very proud of the service provided by our fire fighters and would invite any citizen who has concerns to please contact me at the Headquarters Station of the Northshore Fire Department at 486-2784.

Victoria Day
May 24, 2010
Today is known as Victoria Day up here in the Great White North. Way back in the middle of the nineteenth century Canada declared this day, May 24, a holiday, in honor of Queen Victoria's birthday. And after she died it was officially established as a national holiday. Since then, "May Twenty-Four" as it's known colloquially, has become Canada's unofficial start to summer. This is typically the weekend when people head to their cottages for the first time and when those who stay behind get started on their gardens (since by now it's pretty much a sure thing that there won't be any more frost at night). Traditions on the day involve barbecues, beer and fireworks (not always the best combination). Many people refer to the day as "May Two-Four," a reference to a case of beer.
This year has been especially warm and today is supposed to be beautiful—around 25 degrees (that's 80 for you Americans) and sunny. It's about the perfect weather for a day away from the desk; a good day to pick up the year's first sun burn.
My plans today involve a little bit of reading, a little bit of writing, a little bit of hanging around and maybe a bike ride with the kids. Later in the day I'll be heading out with the family to spend the evening with some friends. It's got all the makings of a good day.
To keep you occupied as you go about your daily toil (you Americans can make fun of me in turn next week when you have Memorial Day) here are a few interesting and/or amusing things to read.
Creator or Curator - David Murray offers some good thoughts on the difference between preachers who are creators and preachers who are curators.
Crackdown in Bangkok - A series of powerful photos from Thailand.
The Black Keys to Amazing Grace - Thabiti posts an interesting video that includes a great rendition of "Amazing Grace."
Pray for a Cure - There's a Bible for everything and everyone. The Pray for a Cure Bible stands as further proof.
Football's for Girls - But hockey's for men. First, here's a story about Duncan Keith, a good Canadian boy, who lost seven teeth in a hockey game…and just kept playing. And then here's a commercial about soccer/football.

For the mid-season finale of Alan Thicke's reality show, Unusually Thicke, Thicke hosts a Growing Pains reunion at a barbecue and hangs out with John Stamos. If that sentence didn't send your nostalgia-o-meter into the red, nothing will.
At one point, Stamos has a conversation with Thicke about rebooting Growing Pains, with him playing Mike Seaver. And adding zombies. Or vampires. Or gay people. (It's important to note that, earlier this year, Thicke referred to his show as "reality-ish," so maybe don't expect this reboot to arrive in theaters anytime soon, no matter how much we want it.)
Thicke also hosts a Growing Pains reunion at his home. It's great seeing the cast back together, but for us, the highlight is this exchange between Alan and his wife, Tanya: "Did you watch Growing Pains?" Alan asks. "Sort of," Tanya answers. "And then I'd switch it to Alf."
Forget Game of Thrones: This is must-see TV. Catch the midseason finale of Unusually Thicke Wednesday at 10 p.m. on the TV Guide Network.

When I listen to Erica's radio show, I head the male host said Don was not treating her well when they were together and this caused her to change and started fishing for rich guys after they broke up. Did Don cheat on her or something? I hope it's not true. I've always like Don and also has a good impression of Tracy after watching 'Steps' (her acting is good for a newbie). But anything can happen.

Hi Martine
Thank you for your comments and thoughtful response.
I think what has happened is that Michael is responding to another form of programing coming out of the US media.
With shows like "Doomsday Preppers" and assorted mainstream and alternative articles about survivalists, the implication is that they are all right wing nutjobs with their focus on armed defense of their compounds.
Not surprisingly, the US homeland security propaganda is also aimed at demonizing "preppers" and "survivalist" as homegrown terrorists.
Now people assume that just because you store a few days' worth of food and a med kit in your closet, you're automatically a terrorist. Why?
Home Emergency Preparedness is merely taking a few precautions to minimize one's dependence on government emergency services during times when those services may be stretched to their limits or unavailable at all.
You can see the danger here, if people learned to be more self-reliant and self-sustaining why they may discover they have no need for a massive bureaucracy to micro manage, and of course tax, every activity of its citizens.
Yet, both the US and Canadian governments' emergency and disaster response websites encourage everyone to take emergency preparedness training and put together an emergency kit!
Hi there,
Transition Toronto "monitor" stepping in here!! :)
Michael H: NOWHERE on our website, in our literature, our dialogue, this particular workshop, nor ANY of our workshops does it say - nor do we promote or suggest - anything to do with "protecting from others [people]", nor feed fears on which criminal lives where and how to protect from them. I really don't know where you get that negative impression from!!
Neither Stefan, nor any of the presenters we bring on-board, profit from speaking at our workshops. Almost all share their knowledge free - because they wish to share it. That is one of the mottos of Transition Towns around the world, including Toronto. The whole basis of TT is to act and be positive, and turn life's "lemons into lemonade". That seems what you are suggesting yourself - be happy and happiness will follow.
It isn't always easy to achieve but that's what we strive for. And as Stefan says, 'shit happens' whether you're happy in your mind or not. No matter how positive you are, you will not, cannot prevent say a tornado or super-storm from hitting the town you live in and knocking out electricity for several days. THEN it's good to be prepared with an emergency/food/clothing/shelter kit at home or for the road!
If you had attended last night, you'd have heard that was exactly what Stefan taught about, with realism, insights from his experience, yet practical solutions AND much humour! None of the attendees left feeling fearful or depressed - we laughed, took notes, and had many "aha!" moments. The talk achieved precisely what Transition is about and wishes to teach: knowledge, skills, and to be positive even in challenging situations.
[NOTE: A comment in response to my first comment has been deleted ( I assume, by the author of the comment). It makes my reply to her look like a rant to no one.]
The idea that we need to 'keep safe' from something is my over arching point here.
It is Safe --- It is only Unsafe in our heads.
Act on that fear-based neurosis and you create a fearful community; a 'gated' community if you will. A community that cannot listen - or hear.
That you are successful in creating this kind of community is my fear.
Dear Michael
First let me say I'm not making a living from peddling fear. I have a full time job. The money I receive from these workshops wouldn't buy me dinner in a nice restaurant.
And where did you get the idea that I teach "protect yourself from everyone else." I am not some US Prepper with a hundred guns, I teach emergency preparedness to help keep people safe. There is nothing in this workshop, about guns or weapons or defending against people.
Finally, my up-coming book is a guide on how to form and maintain sustainable communities. Everyone pays a lot of lip service to "Community" yet I don't find many people that have done much in this direction.
I believe people don't really know how, or have the tools to create a true community, and that is what my book will provide, a nuts and bolts guide to creating a real community for mutual support and sustainability.
As per your advice, " Create happiness - then you're happy." in what universe does this work? Have you looked around? Do you think that you running around being happy is going to change anything? That it will stop the government, feed the starving children, prevent crime? You go a week without a meal and tell me then how happy you are.
Please, grow up.
Fear itself references Roosevelt. I guess unite not divide was a little charged with political history - so not clear. Create happiness - then you're happy. Happiness comes from building community, culture - the future.
Worrying about which house has the serial killer in it is a *little* negative to me. :)
Fear itself.
I thought transition Toronto would be a positive force - it seems most workshops I'm seeing (not just this one) are about how to protect yourself from everyone else. Your guest speaker is making a living off this fear of the other.
We need to unite - not divide.
I'll be there with a great attitude and I WILL SURVIVE !

In the second novel in Bronwen Evans's sexy new Disgraced Lords series, two very independent souls find themselves fighting to resist a deepening passion.
When Beatrice Hennessey sets out to confront Lord Coldhurst, the notorious rogue who killed her brother in a duel, her intent is to save her family from destitution. She's determined to blackmail the man into a loveless marriage. She'll make the wealthy Lord Coldhurst pay for the rest of his life. But while greeting his ship, Beatrice takes a tumble into the Thames—only to be fished out by a pair of strong masculine arms that tempt her to stay locked in their heated embrace forever. That is, until she realizes those arms belong to Sebastian Hawkestone, Lord Coldhurst himself.
The little drowned mermaid has an interesting proposition indeed; one that Sebastian is surprised to find quite agreeable. Although he's had women more beautiful, she is pleasing to the eye, and besides, it's time he fathered an heir. Beatrice promises to be the ideal wife; a woman who hates him with an all-consuming passion is far too sensible to expect romance. However, it isn't long before Sebastian's plan for a marriage of convenience unravels, and he's caught up in the exhilarating undertow of seduction.

It's all too easy to accidentally delete an important file, then waste hours diligently working to replace it. But deleted files aren't always as they appear, and lost files can usually be found with a little help from Restoration.
1. Windows XP has no built-in facilities for undeleting files, but there are precautionary measures you can take. Don't use Shift, Del to instantly erase files – it bypasses the last-chance Recycle Bin. You can also download Restoration (on our DVD or from snapfiles.com) and save it on a USB drive.
Step 1
2. If you mistakenly delete a file, don't copy anything (or install any programs) on to the drive it was on, and don't run any programs that use a disk-based swap file. You might overwrite the file you're trying to recover. Instead, plug in your USB key and run Restoration from there. Your options are listed on the right.
Step 2
3. Select the drive containing the lost file using the selector on the right. Click Search Deleted Files and wait for Restoration to find your undeleted files. Partway through the search, the program asks 'Do you want to scan vacant clusters?' Hit No, unless you want to search the drive surface for file fragments.
Step 3
4. The program will display a list of discovered files. Select the file you want to restore and click 'Restore by Copying'. A file browser opens for you to select a folder to copy to. Again, choose a drive other than the one holding the deleted files. Repeat this process for any other files you unearth.
Step 4
5. You can't select more than one file at a time for recovery. To make the search process easier you can reduce the length of the list by entering all or part of the filename or file type you're looking for. Restoration doesn't support wild cards such as '*' or '?' but will search for a partial filename, such as '.txt'.
Step 5
6. You can search for all the Jpeg files you might have deleted in error. Depending on how they were deleted, you may find the filenames now start with '$' – this is how Windows marks deletions. Remove the dollar signs from any recovered files or they'll be listed out of order in an alphabetical file display.
Step 6

To the Editor.—Two cases of contained esophageal perforation, both of which were managed nonoperatively with good results, were reported in the Archives by Anderson and Giustra (1981;116:1214-1217). It seems that the term "perforation" is misleading, as the tear did not penetrate the entire esophageal wall. In their text, they explained that the perforation was confined within the lower esophageal wall and actually represented an intramural extravasation. I believe that this type of laceration is similar to the Mallory-Weiss lesion, but is deeper and extends into the submucosa. It seems doubtful that if the authors' emetogenic lacerations extended into or through the muscular layers, conservative management would have been successful.
I and my colleagues have seen several similar cases and considered the findings to represent a dissection of the esophageal wall in the submucosal layer, probably due to a combination of the emetogenic force and the subsequent hemorrhage contained within

GRAND RAPIDS, MI — West Michigan lawmakers were due back in Washington, D.C., on Sunday as it appeared talks to avoid the so-called fiscal cliff by year's end had all but further broken down.
U.S. Reps. Justin Amash, R-Cascade Township, and Bill Huizenga, R-Zeeland, are among lawmakers back to work on what one aide called "look-busy" legislation being considered by the U.S. House that is not pertinent to the cliff.
A series of substantial tax increases on all Americans, and automatic spending cuts, will be triggered on Jan. 1 if Congress is unable to agree on legislation to avoid the fiscal cliff by midnight Monday.
Related: Fiscal cliff looming, West Michigan lawmakers pessimistic Congress can avoid tax hikes
Talks among congressional leaders and President Barack Obama have been beleaguered by finger-pointing and staunch refusal from both sides to accept terms of possible deals put forward by each.
Amash and Huizenga returned to the Capitol on Sunday as some 14 bills were set to be considered by the House, none dealing with the cliff.
Whether Amash would like to "be focusing on (the cliff) instead of the other 14 kind of look-busy bills, then the answer is, of course, yes," spokesman Will Adams said. "I think they're just using this to keep everybody in town in case a deal is struck."
Despite meeting with Obama on Friday and spending the weekend trying to pin down a deal, compromise remained elusive even as the House was set to reconvene.
Points of contention have included what income threshold should be considered in any final deal, with talk centering on extending tax cuts for Americans making $250,000 or less annually, as well as continued unemployment payments.
All eyes have been on the Senate after a "Plan B" put forward by House Speaker John Boehner that would have extended cuts for those making $1 million or less was shot down by Republicans in that chamber before it broke for Christmas.
On Sunday, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nevada, told reporters that he had "no counter-offer" to Republican Senate leaders' latest. New talks reportedly have included new methods of measuring inflation, which reportedly would lower payments under Social Security and similar programs.
"I think that's telling," Huizenga spokesman Brian Patrick said. "I think that directly goes to the question of what do you say to people who say House Republicans aren't negotiating. He (Reid) can't counter-offer it."
On NBC News program "Meet the Press" on Sunday, Obama chided Republican leaders, saying his optimism late last week that a deal would be reached had started to wane.
Reiterating remarks made Friday, Obama said on the program that a stand-alone bill dealing only with taxes might be forthcoming if a big-picture deal still eludes leaders.
For his part, Amash has harped on his willingness to vote in favor of extended tax cuts for Americans making $250,000 — or perhaps, $400,000, per some reports — if the give-back on spending cuts is adequate.
Adams reiterated that stance Sunday.
"That's probably something that Justin could support, so long as it also doesn't increase spending," Adams said.

For Huizenga, the devil will be in the details as to what he would and would not support, Patrick said.
"Congressman Huizenga is of the mindset that he doesn't want taxes to go up on middle class America," Patrick said. "Congressman Huizenga also doesn't want taxes to go up on the businesses that employ those middle class Americans, because that's jobs."
"The devil is in the details," he added. "Until there's a … bill put forward, it just depends on what it looks like."

Sorry about the delay, but I've been catching up on a short week and tied up with some other stuff. Anyway, I did want to make a point today after writing my story yesterday that ran in today's paper on Tom Coughlin's fast starts and speedy descents with the Giants.
I know we talked about this the last few years but we tend to forget these things as time moves on. And for some reason, it didn't really strike me until yesterday when I was thinking about how many players the Giants lost to injury last year: their TOP THREE defensive ends, their left tackle, their top corner, their No. 2 receiver, their best playmaking linebacker. And they still made the playoffs.
Two years ago, it was the linebackers who were ravaged by injury.
And in '04, not only were injuries to defensive ends a problem (Remember Chuck Wiley? Anyone? Anyone?), but the Giants simply had to insert their rookie quarterback into the starting lineup when veteran Kurt Warner was clearly the better option for the short term.
My point here is that, as much as Coughlin and other coaches will tell you injuries aren't an excuse, they are. And he's done a very good job of getting this team to the playoffs through all these hurts. I'd imagine that's what John Mara and the Brothers Tisch were thinking when they brought Coughlin back.
But right now, there are no major injuries. And there are no rookie QBs or other pieces of a new team coming together like in '04. This team has been constructed over time and injuries aren't a problem right now.
In other words, the next 10 games will be your first glimpse of the real Tom Coughlin and what he can do for a football team.
If he succeeds, maybe he'll get more than a one-year extension.
If not, may the football gods have mercy on his coaching soul.
The team is going through a glorified jog-thru right now with no pads whatsoever.
Really? I thought Coughlin was hard on his players.
Nope, he's taking it lightly on them during a short week after the Monday night win over the Falcons.
We haven't seen an injury report yet, but WR Plaxico Burress (ankle) and RB Derrick Ward (ankle) will probably be on there. Burress will be listed as missing practice; Ward might be limited.
WR Steve Smith (scapula) is going to try to get back this week.
QB Eli Manning said Colorado Rockies OF Seth Smith, his backup at Ole Miss, was always more into baseball than football and spent most of his mind thinking about the diamond, not the gridiron. Today, Manning couldn't resist taking a jab at his former teammate today.
"If he could've learned the plays," Manning said, "I think he could've been a decent quarterback."
Zing! Take that, Tiki! I mean, Seth.

Many laptop "modems" are winmodems. Do you know this not to be the case,

Well, yeah - KPPP expects to use a serial modem (/dev/ttyS0 through
/dev/ttyS3 and perhaps /dev/modem). Is there a /dev/ttylsX in /dev/?
Some winmodem drivers make use of a non-standard device like /dev/ttyS14
or /dev/ttyLT15 or some such rot. To use those, you need to link them to
something the kernel is aware of - typically /dev/modem.

That's just a stupidly written error message from kppp. It means it can't

kppp is another windoze wannabe application, which means that it goes out of

because that's not the way windoze works). You are posting from a uiuc.edu
