Vitaly, also protect your front wheel during a race. If you are over lapping (half wheeling) the rider in front of you, you are giving control to him. If he swerves, you crash, most likely. If you follow him, he can swerve and you have time to react to his move and avoid the pave... A hard learned lesson for me. I'll show you the scars sometime...ReplyDelete
Excellent point, Phil! I think I left it out only because it has become so second-nature to me by now. But you are correct, it is definitely worth a mention as that is not the case for all. (Hopefully people will read the comments :)).ReplyDelete
Thereafter, I would return to the same parking lot nearly every Sunday of the riding season to join the same group for our club ride for several years to come, and even now on occasions. barrel racing saddlesReplyDelete
Hi Vitaly! I appreciate your thoughts and thanks for sharing some good bike riding tips. There is no end of gaining knowledge, so it's good to learn some biking safety tips from this blog post, no matter I ride a budget friendly bike or expensive bike these tips will always work.ReplyDelete

After reading the first part of the blog, I started feeling nostalgic. Because how he started his biking experience is almost as similar as mine. But later he has given lots of important suggestion for the beginners who are not well handy of riding a mountain bike or traditional road bike. I like his all the suggestions. It definitely worked for the favor of entry level bikers. Thanks for all the advice!

SALT LAKE CITY -- After spending 30 minutes before Friday's game going through drills, Tyson Chandler was granted approval by the Hornets' training staff to play against the Utah Jazz.
Chandler hyperextended his right knee during Monday's loss to the Orlando Magic and did not play Wednesday night against the Indiana Pacers at the New Orleans Arena. He was put through drills before Friday's game and didn't experience any discomfort.
"It's always tough for me to watch games,'' Chandler said. "Regardless how I felt, I was going to come back after the Indiana game. I couldn't take another night off. I feel like I can give us something.
Chandler suffered the injury during the second quarter Monday night after a tripped over his foot as he was running upcourt to defend. Chandler will be needed tonight because the Utah Jazz (8-4) is one of the most physical teams in the post. Jazz forward Carlos Boozer is averaging 24.6 points and 11.1 rebounds.
"Tyson is fine and ready to go, but I will have to watch his minutes,'' Hornets Coach Byron Scott said. "He hasn't played i n a few days and he's come to me about his conditioning kind of going down, so I have to watch him for the first few minutes to see how he's moving.''

State attorney Elizabeth Laliberte sent a letter to Wagner supporters Ed Licht and Joseph Lamalfa on Friday informing them that they had improperly registered the names of the organizations.
"The names you registered are similar to that of a political party recognized under Ohio law and registration of those corporate names is likely to mislead and confuse Ohio voters," the letters said.
Licht registered the name of the county party while Lamalfa registered the name of the Democratic Club last month after the Garfield Heights Democratic Executive Committee endorsed Wagner's opponent in the mayoral race, Vic Collova, by a vote of 14-1.
Lamalfa subsequently sent letters telling Garfield Heights Democratic Club members they could not use their organization's name in campaign literature without his permission.
Wagner said Licht and Lamalfa registered the names without his knowledge but did not disavow what they had done. A large "Garfield Heights Democratic Club" sign was placed outside Wagner's campaign headquarters.
Collova, who defeated Wagner in a race for City Council president in 2005 before losing a race to him for the same office in 2007, compared the registration of the names to identity theft.
He said he was heartened that the Secretary of State's Office responded so quickly.
"Now the campaign can get back to the basics and the facts and what we're going to do for the city," Collova said. "I'm happy we're back to normal politics."
Neither Lamalfa nor Licht could be reached for comment on Friday.

Ouch! Yellow Jackets Having 'Banner Year' in Northwest
Still smarting from a wasp sting this summer? You're not alone. It has been a banner year for yellow jackets in the Northwest by many accounts.
The main reason for so many wasps buzzing around is favorable weather conditions. Washington State University entomologist Richard Zack says a mild winter helped yellow jacket queens survive their hibernation, then the spring worked out well, too.
"If we get a spring where we get some moisture, but the nice temperatures come on very quickly—we don't get prolonged wet and cold—then that allows the nests to really get going," Zack said. "And that pretty much is the type of year that we've had this year."
Richard Zack: "As soon as temperatures, especially at night, begin to drop down into the 40s, the 30s again—we get some freezes—that basically knocks the colonies out," he said.
If you discover a yellow jacket nest in your yard where you and your kids or pets are likely to have run-ins with the stinging insects, Zack advises you to take control measures or hire an exterminator.
But if the colony is out of the way, the expert says to leave it alone.
"They're actually beneficial," said Zack. "They're out there, picking up caterpillars, aphids, beetles and flies. So they're good predatory insects."
In northeastern Washington, the state Department of Natural Resources says it has been getting calls from people who want to know if the agency intentionally released yellow jackets as a way to control other bugs. The persistent rumors prompted the agency's people to post a denial on its website.
"Let's set the record straight: DNR does not release yellow jackets or similar insects," reads the blog post. Its headline concludes, "we don't like'em either."

'We love Elton John,' Vladimir Putin says in bid to deflect anti-gay controversy
- From: AFP
- January 20, 2014
PRESIDENT Vladimir Putin has said that Russia does not discriminate against gays and that millions of Russians love pop icon Sir Elton John "despite his orientation", as he sought to defuse calls from gay rights activists to boycott the Winter Olympics.
In an interview with foreign journalists less than three weeks before the opening of the Olympics in the Black Sea resort of Sochi, Mr Putin reiterated that Russia would welcome all athletes and visitors, regardless of their sexuality.
"People have different sexual orientation. We will welcome all athletes and all guests of the Olympics," he said.
By way of example, he praised Sir Elton, who is openly gay, as "an outstanding person (and) outstanding musician".
"Millions of our people sincerely love him despite his orientation," Mr Putin said.
Gay rights activists have criticised the Russian strongman for a recent law banning the dissemination of so-called "gay propaganda" to minors.
Sir Elton himself spoke out against the law during a sold-out Moscow concert last month.
"I am deeply saddened and shocked over the current legislation that is now in place against the (homosexual) community here in Russia," he said.
"In my opinion, it is inhumane and it is isolating. Harmony is what makes a happy family and a strong society."
The 66-year-old Briton has a long history of performances in Russia, beginning with a groundbreaking concert in 1979 that made him a household name in the then-Soviet Union.
He ignored calls to cancel his December concerts in the wake of the "gay propaganda" law, saying Russia's gays and lesbians would feel abandoned if big-name performers did not come for visits and offer them support.
Mr Putin said the law "does not offend anyone".
"People with non-traditional sexual orientation cannot feel like they are second-rate because they are in no way discriminated against: not professionally, not career-wise, not when it comes to recognition by society," he said.
The Russian strongman also downplayed planned no-shows at the Olympics by Western leaders including US President Barack Obama and French President Francois Hollande.

Opps! - You need to be logged-in to leave a commentWhy not sign-up now? It's cheaper than an ST Format subscription :)
June 2009 - The forums are back online! Ok so they've been away for a few years, but I thought what the hell. And fixed them. So feel free to post again :) Also fixed the "15 Years Ago" box on the right, seeing as it has been wrong for years!
April 2007 - I've fixed a number of small issues with the site, including removing the ebay adverts. Work continues on the new version of LGD.
December 2006 - I am currently working on the new LGD site. Work has been on-going for several months now, and I expect to launch at some point in 2007 - which will be the 10th year of the Little Green Desktop.
October 22nd 2005 - I decided to get LGD back into shape again. Not with any major new content (yet), but just restoring some of the long lost features. The forums are back and working, user registration works, game commenting works again, I've updated lots of broken links, fixed a few HTML issues (although this site will NEVER validate until I recode it!) and other house keeping. In short, it's fully operational, and I like that. It's as if a part of me has been bought back to life again. Rock on little ST, rock on. I also restored the WinSTon web site, because it was a damn classic emulator sorely missed! Whatever you're doing now Paul, I wish you all the best.
When I started this site 16 years ago (!) I had no idea it would still be running today. The problem is that it's really starting to show its age. Old school HTML4 layout, a horrendous mess of PHP4 code, poor MySQL queries and by todays standards, really low-res box art and lack of features. So now it's 2012 and I'd like to rectify that, but I don't have much spare time. So if you actually have time to help then please drop me a line! Maybe together we can build a LGD capable of lasting another 16 years :)

Bethesda and Arkane Studios have released the third and final episode of their The Tales from Dunwall web series, "The Mind of Madness," leading into the October release of Dishonored. Where the previous two episodes, "The Awakening" and "The Hand that Feeds," have certainly been anything but commonplace, "Mind of Madness" is a much more open-ended and abstract experience. The mood is certainly set for Dishonored.
"The Mind of Madness" introduces Piero, a tinker of sorts, though whose job is never fully detailed. Piero is haunted by ghastly images, though whether he's going mad or is simply an unwilling participant in a mad world... Either way, Piero has a task set before him, as task that will help Corvo, Dishonored's protagonist, begin his deadly mission for vengeance. The Empress has been killed and there is much work to be done.
Who exactly is Piero? Who is the Outsider? And how do the pieces fall that draw the two and Corvo together? The stage is set, and all that's left to do is wait. Dishonored releases October 9, October 12 in the UK, for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC.

Aneorobic conditioning that you have built up dies incredibly fast. While you can maintain cardio over a 3 week break, your high intensity on resuming is going to suck. I am not surprised you hit a wall. You lose it fast.
The good news, you gain it back about 3 times fast as you lost it. Do some tabatas and fartleks this week and you should be right on track. Do some good work/work relief sessions too. of moderate intensity. As you likely know, you do not have to kill yourself every workout, infact you shouldnt.
As for seizing up, I would also imagine if you are and older than 35 person like myself, and you took a sudden break from daily hard training, your muscles just started to stiffen right up. If you are not working them, they do that. You need some vigorous stretching. Although corny, the best stretching guide I ever used was from Pavel Tsatsouline, called Relax Into Stretch. Had me right as rain fast. Pavel is always awesome, even though his website is full of scammy marketing.

Auburn, N.Y. -- Auburn police today identified the two officers who were involved in the killing of an estranged husband who had broken into his wife's home and attacked with a meat cleaver, Auburn police said Wednesday.
Donald Laraway, an officer for more than 10 years, fired the four shots that killed 45-year-old Jeffrey M. Harris Saturday, police said.
Jared Georgi, an officer for more than 14 years, also responded to a call from Harris' wife, Teresa M. Harris.
Auburn Police Chief Brian Neagle gave the following account:
Teresa Harris was in her home at 11 Barber St., apartment 1, when she called Cayuga County 911 just before 11:30 p.m. Saturday to say Harris was trying to force his way into her apartment, in violation of an order of protection.
The two officers responded, learning en route that Harris was banging on doors and was known to carry a knife.
When officers arrived, Harris was trying to break through a second door in the basement using a meat cleaver.
As Harris continued to smash through the door, one officer tried to stop him with a Taser, but it was ineffective because Harris was wearing a thick jacket, police said.
Laraway and Georgi identified themselves several times as police officers, and Harris told them he had a gun, police said.
When Harris raised the meat cleaver over his head and advanced toward the officers, police said, Laraway shot him four times.
Harris was later pronounced dead. Police determined he did not have a gun.
The Auburn Police Department said Tuesday that it had nearly finished its investigation and would be turning the case over to Cayuga County District Attorney Jon Budelmann for review.

This world is beginning to gray for me a bit.
I'd thought I was OK, but that feeling has begun to pass.
The days where my daughters are gone are empty and meaningless.
I live like an animal in my house, using only three rooms and one of them is the commode.
I eat WAY too many raisins; I'm regular in a strictly biological sense.
I get headaches from the nitrates, but the bag of raisins is a convenient way to gain weight back.
I was HOT two years ago. I swear it is true! It didn't do me any good then.
I am growing horizontally again.
Its not a plain plane, but a plane that I spread myself over. The smear a passing man makes if you leave the shutter open too long.
Too bad I've no sparklers here.

George Zimmerman's family released a statement as the the jury is in its second hour of deliberations in Zimmerman's second-degree muder trial.
Here is the statement:
"From the onset of this tragic event, our family has been clear to express our trust in the judicial system. A jury of one's peers is the hallmark of our country's judicial system. The American justice system is the finest in the world. George's fate is now in the hands of the jury, who will make their decision based on evidence and the facts of the case. As we await a verdict we will remain hopeful and ask for the public to remain peaceful, no matter the outcome. Though we maintain George committed no crime whatsoever, we acknowledge that the people who called for George's arrest and subsequent trial have now witnessed both events come to pass. We hope now that as Americans we will all respect the rule of law, which begins with respecting the verdict. The judicial system has run its course -- pray for justice, pray for peace, pray for our country."

It just wasn't safe to stay anymore. Her son needed a heart transplant. She was recovering from breast cancer surgery. And the flood waters in her Little Ferry home kept rising.
Already besieged by incredible hardship, the Gambini family found themselves homeless, shuffling to shelters and staying with any friend willing to house them. They needed to lug highly sensitive medicine wherever they went. Their car had just washed up in the flooding, making transportation yet another nightmare.
"We had no money, no income, nothing – not even to buy food," said Jacqueline Gambini, a single mother raising two daughters and a son. "It was devastating... it's hard to accept that you can just lose everything. One day you just have nothing."
For most, staying in a hotel room in the wake of Super Storm Sandy was impossible. Even if her luck had turned and the Gambinis were able to find a room, it would have been unaffordable. For a period, she didn't know what would happen to her and her kids.
Unexpectedly – and mercifully – the family was thrown a life jacket. The staff at Mt. Sinai Hospital connected them with Harboring Hearts, a New York City charity that finds temporary housing for the families of cardiac patients requiring critical care.
As her own father recovered from a massive heart attack at New York Presbyterian Hospital, Harboring Hearts co-founder Michelle Javian realized that countless families were unable to find affordable housing near their hospital-bound loved ones. Javian formed the 501-c3 organization with friend Yuki Kotani to memorialize the deaths of their fathers. Today, the organization serves hundreds of families a year in the New York metropolitan area.
Gambini's situation was particularly challenging for the staff at Harboring Hearts.
"We called close to 30 different hotels," Javian recalled. "We finally were able to find a place for Jackie and her family to stay. She had to be close to the hospital for treatment. Because of their immune systems, they couldn't handle being in the shelter or [being] without power."
Harboring Hearts paid mortgage bills so Jacqueline – recently separated from her husband – could avoid potential foreclosure. They also coordinated with hospital social workers to provide emotional counseling. This year, Harboring Hearts was able to pay for childcare costs as Jacqueline was seeking treatment at Mt. Sinai for breast cancer.
"We were just very thankful we were able to provide assistance knowing the family's story and what they had to go through," said Deirdre Lombardi, the program director at Harboring Hearts.
Nearly a year after Sandy wrought incredible devastation, the lives of the Gambinis are starting to resemble normalcy. Struggles still remain – Jacqueline is still enduring a battery of radiation treatments and cannot work full-time; insurance has yet to cover much of the damage brought by the storm.
"Things are much better than they were a year ago," said Jacqueline. "Thank god everything little by little is getting better."
Brandon, her 13-year-old son, received the heart transplant he needed. His health is improving though he remains on medication, she said. The family has moved back into the once-flooded house, where much construction work is taking place.
This past weekend, the charity invited the family out to Long Island for a Halloween party, a celebration they couldn't enjoy last year.
"I feel such appreciation for all the help this organization gave to us," Jacqueline said. "They really are amazing, good people with big hearts."

Suspend pay of indicted officials
For the residents of Mercer County's two largest municipalities, the past two years have been nothing short of a major political debacle, a bitter comedy exposed on the regional and national stage.
The protagonists are former Hamilton Township Mayor John Bencivengo and Trenton Mayor Tony Mack. The victims are the people, neighborhoods and communities of Hamilton and Trenton, who have had the misfortune of dealing with corrupt and distracted mayoralties.
Indictment by no means implies guilt. However, the post-indictment process is detrimental to the effectiveness of the elected official. Engagement in legal defense activities — such as the trial, depositions, meetings with lawyers, etc. — is expensive and time-consuming.
The indicted official takes these tasks on in addition to his responsibilities as an elected official, which puts him into the dubious role of defendant-mayor. The onslaught of legal fees provides a strong disincentive for resigning, which implies surrendering a six-digit salary.
The best solution to the defendant-mayor predicament is to pass A1024, a measure sponsored by Assemblymen Dan Benson (D-Hamilton) and Wayne DeAngelo (D-Hamilton) that suspends pay of local elected officials in between indictment and conviction when related to moral issues.
Regardless of innocence or guilt, allowing an individual to simultaneously run a municipality and prepare for a criminal trial is reckless at best, and directly against the city's needs and interests at worst.
The state should employ a system in which these officials can take adequate measures to legally defend themselves in court while not placing an additional burden on the municipalities they were elected to lead.

Boatload of N.J. Democrats have lost their bearings
New Jersey has high unemployment, our economically productive taxpayers are leaving in record numbers and our urban school districts are abysmal. Yet, five New Jersey state legislators, all Democrats, introduced a bill for the state government "to call the body of water between Japan and the Korean Peninsula the 'East Sea' and the 'Sea of Japan' ("Koreans' clout in N.J. propels a sea change," Feb. 15).
Really? Is that why "We, the people" sent them to Trenton? To rename international bodies of water that don't even touch the Jersey Shore? We have potholes in our state that are bigger than the Sea of Japan.
So, I urge our legislators to get their heads in the game and fix New Jersey.

So much to cherish about the city of Trenton
Following the inspired lead of Ingrid Reed, whose guest opinion piece "Valentine to the city of Trenton" was so well-deserved and so beautifully articulated, we'd like to offer some more valentines to those who celebrate and enhance the lovability of the city.
Let us start with a "You're Swell!" to Ingrid Reed herself for saying out loud what many of us have known and cherished for a long time: namely, that the real Trenton is a treasure whose great past is only prologue to an equally great future already gestating in the places and through the work of those she named, and others.
Which others? We marvel at the work of Trenton Children's Chorus, which provides after-school training in choral music, academic tutoring, summer camps and amazing field trip experiences to Trenton children from kindergarten through high school. Want to hear something amazing? Since its founding 22 years ago, every student who stayed with TCC through high school has gone on to college.
And how about The Children's Home Society of New Jersey, which conducts an extraordinary range of programs to support and enrich the lives of families who call Trenton home. And then there is the Trenton Community Music School, which has for decades been providing Trenton children with the opportunity to express themselves in ways, and to master new disciplines, that the public schools currently fail to offer. But wait: Don't overlook the Boys' & Girls' Club of Mercer County, welcoming and mentoring an entire generation of young Trenton residents who will emerge as leaders of this city.
Finally, how about a collective valentine for all those families who have in recent years chosen to take up residence in Trenton as a statement of confidence in the city's and their own future?
They have recognized what so many have yet to realize about this lovable city. May we all be so enlightened!

Islam champions equality
February is Black History Month, and African-Americans have played a crucial role in the shaping of our country, from Frederick Douglass to the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. to Malcolm X, the latter of which stated, "America needs to understand Islam, because this is the one religion that erases from its society the race problem."
As Dr. King derived his teachings from Jesus, Malcolm X derived his from the prophet Muhammad, who, 1,200 years before Lincoln freed the slaves with the emancipation proclamation, stated, "All mankind is from Adam and Eve … a white has no superiority over a black, nor does a black have superiority over a white."
From its inception, Islam championed equality among all people. For this reason, about Islam, Malcolm X stated, "I have never before seen sincere brotherhood practiced by all together, irrespective of their color."

A little bit of Rep. envy
I have to give Rep. Rush Holt (D-Hopewell) credit. At least he is willing to hold town hall meetings, engage with his constituents and discuss issues in a public forum ("Mercer residents raise concerns with Holt," Feb. 16), and he appears to do that with some frequency from what I've seen/read in this newspaper over the years.
Perhaps Rep. Holt understands that is part of the responsibility of being a representative.
"It is important for me to get a sense of your values, of what you think is important ... and be interested in what you're interested in," Holt was quoted.
So, what's Rep. Chris Smith's excuse? Rep. Smith (R-Hamilton) ought to show the same responsibility. Perhaps he has no time for us, because he has too many lobbyists in Washington to meet with rather than regular folk. Maybe Mr. Smith doesn't like to be challenged publicly on his voting record. Who knows? It's hard to tell, since he seems to spend little time in New Jersey in the first place. Too bad I can't trade my representative for Rush Holt.

TRENTON – A Trenton man was robbed at gunpoint and his friend was threatened after they left a neighborhood bar early Monday morning, police said.
Police were called to the area of Home Avenue near Elm Street around 12:12 a.m. and found a 55-year-old man who had been hit in the back of the head by two masked men, one of whom had a handgun, Lt. Mark Kieffer said.
The victim was leaving Mango Bar when he was knocked to the ground from behind by the pair.
A friend of the victim attempted to come to the man's aid, Kieffer said, and was threatened with a gun.
Stolen from the victim, who refused medical treatment, were a few dollars and a cell phone, Kieffer said.
The suspects fled on foot. No one has been arrested in connection with the incident, Kieffer said.

No mercy rule in Texas high school football
October 24, 2013 - Burt Angeli
Michigan and Wisconsin are two of 16 states that play high school football with a mercy rule. When the score reaches blowout proportions in the second half, there's a running clock to wrap the game up in a hurry.
Texas, the home of unbeaten Aledo High School and a 91-0 winner over Fort Worth Western Hills, does not have a mercy rule. That score, and a misguided bullying charge, made national news recently.
Randy Galloway of the Fort Worth Star Telegram would like to see Texas with a mercy rule.
Peter Contreras, the assistant athletic director of the UIL, told Galloway: "What we have now, by rule, is both coaches can agree to stop a game at any point after halftime. But that's tough on the coach on the losing end, to have to tell his kids, we aren't going to play anymore because you aren't good enough."

Boyertown school board members where given a presentation that outlined potential renovations and additions to the high school Tuesday night.
Meanwhile, more than 40 Boyertown residents and alumni attended the meeting to voice their opposition to the possible demolition of the existing high school.
"The historical value of this building means it should be saved," said Hugh Kelley, who was Boyertown's class president in 1953.
The original high school building was built in 1920 with various additions added throughout the years. The district is moving to a new educational model called the "academy concept" which would give students a wider range of academic choices while emphasizing an intimate learning atmosphere. The district's plans also include moving ninth-grade into the high school, so they say an expansion is necessary.
Mark Barnhardt of EI Associates, an architecture engineering and planning firm gave a power-point presentation that outlined how the existing school would be renovated and expanded. Plans include more classes, added stairwells, lounges, enhanced security, and even a student-run cafe.
"All of these plans need further review, we only have drafts in front of you today," Barnhardt cautioned.
Currently, the state-of-the-art facility presented does not integrate the original high school. "Our plan renovates additions that were put onto the high school throughout the years. Whatever the school board wants to do with the original structure built in the 1920's is entirely up to them. They could use it for other educational purposes, make it a historical society, or make it a parking lot."
The school board has three options as to what to do with the original building. One is to tear down an addition built in 1938 to disconnect the old building from the new one, another is to build a firewall between the old and new building, while the third option is complete removal of the original structure.
Boyertown resident Donald Fry asked the district to do more research before reaching a decision adding, "We should be committed to preserving the area's architecture and history."
The balance between doing what's best for students while preserving Boyertown's past ensures this issue will not be easily resolved. Board members invited the public to further discuss the issue at their next meeting at 7:30 p.m. on March 11th in the Junior High West School.

Don't let it get away!
Keep track of the stocks that matter to you.
Help yourself with the Fool's FREE and easy new watchlist service today.
Nokia (NYSE: NOK ) is really feeling the heat in the super-heated smartphone race. It recently lowered its estimates for sales, essentially admitting that the critical (and profitable) smartphone market continues to slip out of its grasp despite being an early leader in the space. Its market presence in smartphones continues to center around Europe, but even there its share is declining. It has been largely unable to penetrate the critical North American market, nor has it had major impact on the Far East smartphone market.
Nokia, it's time to do something drastic.
It's time to completely reevaluate your strategy. A key part of this change of strategy should be the divestiture of your almost total reliance on Symbian. Business users, the core of the smart phone market, are abandoning the Symbian OS for Android, iPhone, and BlackBerry. Your reliance on Symbian is unsustainable if you want to turn around your shrinking market share in smartphones.
Why is Symbian such an issue for Nokia?
Symbian, although recently open sourced, is still being driven almost exclusively by Nokia. And Symbian needs a total revamping before it becomes even closely competitive to the likes of Android and Apple's (Nasdaq: AAPL ) iPhone. Nokia is putting a great amount of resource into Symbian's rebuilding. A new version of Symbian (Symbian 3) will be released shortly. However, this version represents mostly cosmetic surgery. The real major upgrade, Symbian 4, is still 6-9 months or more away. But even with this major upgrade, it is unlikely that many major vendors will be relying on the OS for their smart phone strategy in the long term. Even a stalwart Symbian vendors like Sony-Ericsson is moving away from the platform. That puts Nokia in control of an open source OS that it uses by itself. And Nokia cannot control an entire ecosystem on its own, unlike Apple who is able to do so with its iPhone platform, at least for now.
Nokia and Intel's (Nasdaq: INTC ) joint announcement a few months ago of their work on an open-source mobile OS, MeeGo, for phones, netbooks, entry-level desktop computers, in-vehicle systems, and Internet-connected TV sets, is a good sign. MeeGo, which is based on Linux, is a combination of Intel Moblin OS, which the company developed for users of its Atom chips, and Nokia's Maemo, which it developed for high-end tablet-like platforms and ultimately smartphones. However, Nokia has been vague on where MeeGo fits in its long term strategy.
Nokia, here is what I believe you need to do, and do right away.
First, mothball your engineering efforts on Symbian and put it into mature, legacy mode. You can continue to use it for a limited time in S60 platforms until the next major release of strategic product is available. Next, I would immediately shift all efforts in two parallel directions. First, base a current line of smart phone devices on Android with a customized Nokia UI (much like HTC does with Sense and Moto does with Blur). This should allow you to get to market very quickly with a line of compelling smartphone devices that are competitive while giving current Nokia users a migration path with a familiar UI paradigm.
Second, you should immediately state that your direction for future, mid- to high-end and performance devices (not just the N-class and tablets) will be built around MeeGo, and apply enough resources to get an advanced OS ready for launch on a number of devices no later than 12 months from now. Sooner would be much better. And you should start building an app developer ecosystem now, perhaps working more closely with Intel who has a vested interest in making MeeGo, which runs on its Atom chips, a highly competitive mobile platform. And other vendors, especially in the Far East are now taking the platform seriously enough to make an investment in MeeGo for smart devices.
As a result of this strategic realignment, Android becomes your feature phone on the lower end, and MeeGo becomes the performance platform where you can innovate and add real value. Both platforms will have true multi-vendor support, and you will not be required to be the sole provider of innovation and implementation -- a big market advantage for you. The days of needing to be totally vertically integrated, owning your own OS are pretty much over (unless you are Apple). Moto learned this lesson and is now on a roll.
A couple of years ago, I recommended that Symbian and Android should merge. There would have been benefit to the maturity in drivers and phone operation that Symbian offered to Android. I believe now it is too late and Symbian is doomed to fade away over time. Nokia, it's time to cut your losses and move on. If not, you will be relegated to a me-too vendor in the smart phone space where most of the profits lie, and be forced to primarily compete head on in the cutthroat low end consumer device space against the many up and coming vendors from the Far East. That's not a winning strategy if you want to remain profitably among the top three vendors worldwide. Time is of the essence before the market passes you by.

Dairy producers, member cooperatives, Young Cooperators (YCs), industry representatives, staff, and others from all over the country met at the Walt Disney World Dolphin Hotel in Orlando, FL for the National Milk Producer's Federation (NMPF) annual meeting.
The meeting is held jointly every year with the National Dairy Promotion and Research Board and the United Dairy Industry Association.
During the meeting, NMPF Chairman Randy Mooney and President & CEO Jerry Kozak addressed the NMPF membership and discussed the organization's progress over the past year.
They provided updates on efforts to pass a new Farm Bill that includes NMPF's dairy policy reform package, known as the Dairy Security Act.
They also discussed other priority issues that the organization had dealt with in the past year, touching on topics like the National Dairy FARM (Farmers Assuring Responsible Management) Program, the Trans-Pacific Partnership Free Trade Agreement, and NMPF's management of the REAL® Seal program.
Mooney and Kozak's joint presentation emphasized the proactive attitude the organization assumed throughout the year, partly because "we face a future of reduced government support on the one hand, and more government intrusion on the other," Mooney explained.
NMPF's Board of Directors met during the meeting and seated two new members. Donald De Jong from Dalhart, Texas was elected to represent Select Milk Producers, Inc., while Larry Webster from Buffalo, NY, was elected to represent Upstate Niagara Cooperative.
The eight officers currently serving NMPF were reelected to their existing positions. They include:
• Chairman Randy Mooney, from Rogersville, MO, representing Dairy Farmers of America;
• First Vice Chairman Ken Nobis, from St. Johns, MI, representing Michigan Milk Producers Association;
• Second Vice Chairman Cornell Kasbergen, from Tulare, CA, representing Land O' Lakes, Inc.;
• Third Vice Chairman Mike McCloskey, from Fair Oaks, IN, representing Select Milk Producers, Inc.;
• Treasurer Pete Kappelman, from Two Rivers, WI, representing Land O' Lakes;
• Assistant Treasurer Adrian Boer, from Jerome, Idaho, representing Northwest Dairy Association;
• Secretary Dave Fuhrmann, from Baraboo, WI, representing Foremost Farms USA; and
• Assistant Secretary Doug Nuttelman, from Stromsburg, NE, representing Dairy Farmers of America.
In addition to the officer elections at this year's meeting, NMPF recognized three outgoing directors for their service on the NMPF Board of Directors: Tom Croner, from Berlin, PA, and Les Hardesty, from Greeley, CO, both representing Dairy Farmers of America, and Clyde Rutherford, Syracuse, NY, representing Dairylea Cooperative.
NMPF also recognized four Honorary Directors, who provided exemplary service not only to NMPF, but also to the entire dairy industry: Lew Gardner from Galeton, PA; along with Tom Croner, Les Hardesty, and Clyde Rutherford.
In other news at the annual meeting, a Parmesan cheese made by Associated Milk Producers Inc. (AMPI) was awarded the Grand Champion Cheese award at the 2012 NMPF cheese competition. The cheese, made in Hoven, SD, received a score of 99.0 from the judges.
The AMPI Parmesan was selected from among 176 entries to this year's NMPF cheese contest - a record number of entries.
A total of 3,006 pounds of cheese was judged.
The 2012 NMPF Communicator of the Year award was presented to Amber DuMont Sheridan of Maryland & Virginia Milk Producers Cooperative Association in Reston, VA. In addition to directing Maryland & Virginia's communications, Sheridan also oversees its Young Cooperator program.
Members of NMPF's new 2013 YC Advisory Council met to elect their officers for the upcoming year.
Kris and Carla Wardin, from St. Johns, MI, representing Michigan Milk Producers Association, were chosen to be the new YC Chaircouple.
Nathan and Barbara Blesy, from Springville, NY, representing Upstate Niagara Cooperative, were elected YC Vice Chaircouple.
David and Katherine Pyle, from New Columbia, PA, representing Land O'Lakes, were elected Secretary Couple.
Information about the meeting, including links to speeches and presentations, is available on the NMPF website: www.nmpf.org/nmpf-joint-annual-meeting.

We don't sell many 10 berth tents, but we do have two models to offer, both being tipi style tents capable of sleeping ten people. Sleeping 10 is possible in these models, but there wouldn't be masses of space & privacy. However, with only one pole you will find these amazingly easy to pitch 10 berth tents. Our 10 person tents are priced very competitively.

Intel CEO Paul Otellini is retiring in May, giving the world's largest maker of microprocessors six months to find a new leader as it confronts two major challenges: a shaky economy and a shift toward mobile devices that is reducing demand for its PC chips.
"We do have big issues in front of us, moving to the tablet and phone markets, and he was ready to let the next generation lead those battles," Andy Bryant, Intel's Oregon-based chairman, told Barron's.
Although Otellini's impending departure was announced Monday, he surprised Intel's board with his retirement plan last Wednesday. Otellini will have been CEO for eight years when he retires in May, a typical tenure for an Intel chief.
But many observers, and perhaps the board, had been expecting Otellini to stay on for another three years until he hit the company's mandatory retirement age of 65.
"I've been talking with quite a few executives and employees at Intel. It's been a hard day here," Bryant said. "Paul is extremely cherished and valued, and above all, this was his decision."
Intel's board plans to consider candidates inside and outside the company as it searches for Otellini's successor. Otellini will be involved in the search.
Otellini and the four other men who have been Intel's CEO during the company's 45-year history have all been promoted from within. Bryant said Intel has a "deep and strong bench" of executives, and he told The Wall Street Journal he would prefer to hire from within.
Although Intel's headquarters are in Santa Clara, Calif., the company's largest and most advanced operations are in Washington County. The company has close to 17,000 employees in Oregon, more than any other business.
The state is home to the company's leading-edge research and manufacturing, as well as many corporate functions. Intel is nearing completion of a $3 billion research factory called D1X, and announced this fall that it plans to double the size of that facility.
Intel's share price -- adjusted for subsequent dividends -- was $20.92 on the day Otellini became chief executive. Despite record-breaking sales and profits in 2010 and 2011, the company's stock has languished and closed up 6 cents Monday at $20.25.Although Otellini is generally well regarded, he has faced criticism for initially underestimating the impact that smartphones and tablet computers would have on the personal computer market. It was a pivotal change that also confounded Microsoft Corp. CEO Steve Ballmer, whose software company makes the Windows operating system that runs most of the PCs relying on Intel's chips.
"The shift came more quickly than they expected, and when they did finally see what was happening, they were a little late to react," said technology analyst Patrick Moorhead of Moor Insights & Strategy.Indeed, in 2008, nearly 300 million PCs were sold and most of them were powered by Microsoft's Windows and Intel's microchips, according to Forrester Research. Some 142 million smartphones sold that year, at a time when the tablet market hadn't really taken off. That wouldn't happen until Apple's 2010 release of the iPad.
By contrast, this year, Forrester estimates 330 million PCs will be sold worldwide compared with 665 million smartphones and just over 100 million tablets. By 2016, Forrester predicts annual sales of PCs will rise only slightly to 370 million machines while more than 1.6 billion smartphones and tablets will be purchased.
The fates of Intel and Microsoft have been so tightly wound for the past 30 years that computers using a combination of their chips and software are famously known as "Wintel" machines.
Now, much of the technology industry is questioning whether Intel and Microsoft can catch up in the mobile market to ensure their products remain as essential — and profitable — in the future as they have been in the past three decades.
It's a challenge that Ballmer, 56, is confident he can tackle. He signaled his intent to remain Microsoft's CEO earlier this month when he ushered out the head of the company's Windows division because of philosophical differences over the company's future direction. For whatever reasons, Otellini concluded it was time for new leadership at Intel — an opinion that many investors share, according to RBC Capital Markets analyst Doug Freedman.
"A shift in leadership could be welcome news to investors as Intel could be in greater position to broaden its portfolio into higher growth markets," Freedman wrote in a Monday research note.
Intel's stock has fallen sharply this year amid concerns about the company's ability to adjust to mobile computing and weakening demand for its core products in countries with troubled economies, particularly in Europe and China. The company blamed the poor economy for a 14 percent drop in its earnings during its most recent quarter.
Intel's chips have become even more dominant in the PC computer market during Otellini's tenure, helping to boost the company's annual revenue from $39 billion in 2005 to $54 billion last year. Besides supplying Windows-powered PCs, Otellini also scored a coup in 2006 when he convinced Apple to start using Intel chips in Mac computers instead of IBM Corp.'s microprocessors.
But Apple's pioneering work in smartphones and tablet computers also muddled Intel's future. Both the iPhone and iPad inspired a wave of sophisticated handheld devices that are undercutting demand for desktop and laptop machines that house Intel processors.
Most tablets rely on a technology licensed from British chip designer ARM Holdings Plc. Even Microsoft has tweaked the latest version of the Windows operating system so it works on ARM chips.
Other chip makers such as Qualcomm Inc. have developed less expensive microprocessors that have eclipsed Intel in the smartphone market. Qualcomm's inroads in the mobile market are a key reason why its stock has soared by more than 70 percent while Otellini was running Intel.
The contrasting performances of the two companies' stocks enabled Qualcomm to surpass Intel as the world's most valuable chip maker. Qualcomm's market value now stands at about $106 billion versus $100 billion for Intel.
Even though its stock under Otellini has lagged the rest of the market, Intel's ongoing prosperity has enabled the company to reward shareholders in other ways. Intel has paid stock dividends totaling $23.5 billion under Otellini as its quarterly payments rose 8 cents per share in 2005 to 22.5 cents per share currently.

AFC North giants Baltimore and Pittsburgh are both leaking oil this off-season.
The Steelers are coming off an 8-8 season and have parted ways with wide receiver Mike Wallace, linebacker James Harrison, cornerback Keenan Lewis, running back Rashard Mendenhall and nose tackle Casey Hampton to free agency.
There are holes to fill and only so much can be done in next month's NFL draft. That doesn't mean the Steelers are on the decline, coach Mike Tomlin told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
"We're a team in transition, as we always are," Tomlin told the newspaper. "Players are ascending, players are descending. We're acquiring players and losing players. I think that's part of this time of year. I think that includes some unfortunate transactions, if you will, and you can characterize James [Harrison] as that."
The Steelers' defensive starters were the oldest in the NFL last season, so there's no better time to transition than now. Harrison could still be brought back on a free agent deal, but Pittsburgh's focus will be to get younger and start building a core to open a new championship window.
Pittsburgh has missed the playoffs twice in the last four seasons and looks to find key players in its secondary, backfield, offensive line and in the middle of its defense. Finding an heir apparent to Harrison could be a priority in the draft, and there are several good ones worth drafting in the first round.
There's less urgency to go after an offensive lineman or running back in the early rounds.
While the Steelers are shuffling pieces on the line, guard David DeCastro, right tackle Mike Adams and center Maurkice Pouncey anchor a unit that should be much improved next season. The priority will be to find developmental linemen in the mid-to-late rounds.
Surefire first-round running back talents are hard to come by in this draft, but mid-rounders such as Wisconsin's Montee Ball and Michigan State's LeVeon Bell could pay big dividends. Both are NFL-ready and have the toughness that Tomlin and general manager Kevin Colbert covet.

Friday Recap!
Our pal Dennis Hof, Owner of The Moonlite Bunny Ranch in Las Vegas, to talk about Donald Sterling. He had a surprise in bed with him this morning. Find out who by checking out the podcast here:
PERV PATROL! A woman in Christchurch, New Zealand was home in her kitchen last September, when she looked out her window and saw her next-door neighbor . . . all of him. 36-year-old Martin Burley was standing naked in front of a full-length window, vigorously having his way with himself. He also used some filthy props . . . including a sex toy, clothespins, and a leather whip. Martin had a genius plan not to get busted, though. He wore a ski mask over his face to hide his identity. But apparently he didn't think it all the way through. If he had . . . for one to two seconds . . . he would've realized she could identify him because he was in his own house. The cops were able to track him down, in spite of his brilliant disguise. He was just convicted of committing an indecent act with intent to insult . . . and apparently that could get him up to two years in jail.
We ran out of time before getting to these stories:
Next time you're playing rock-paper-scissors to see who gets the last potato skin or something, remember THIS and we guarantee you'll win. As long as the person you're playing against isn't ALSO listening right now. Scientists in Zhejiang University in China just had a breakthrough discovery on the psychology behind rock-paper-scissors. Here's what they found:
1. When a person's turn is successful, they'll most likely stick with what they chose for their next turn. So if they beat you with rock, they'll probably try rock again the next turn.
2. But if the person's turn isn't successful, they'll usually switch to whatever beat them. So if they throw rock and lose to your paper, they'll switch to paper on their next turn, since paper beat them.
The researchers say that switch is a conditional response . . . it's something we do instinctively, even if we think we're just picking randomly.
You want your kids to succeed in life, right? Unless you're a bad parent or weirdly competitive. Here are two naming tips to give them a slight edge.
1. Give your kid a middle name. Or at least a middle initial. A study out of England found that people with a middle initial get treated as higher status. The researchers think it's because initials make people subconsciously think of the initials in prestigious titles . . . like Ph.D.
2. Give your kid a name that's easy to pronounce. A study out of New Zealand found that people whose names were hard to pronounce had LESS CREDIBILITY than people with easy names.
It's still legal to talk on your phone while you're driving in Florida. But one guy decided to take matters into his OWN hands.
Back in 2011, a 60-year-old named Jason Humphreys put a cell phone jamming device in his car, so no one around him on the road could make phone calls. And he thought it only worked within 30 feet. But it turned out that during his commute to and from work in Tampa, he was also jamming a cell phone tower. And after the company that owns the tower complained last year, police were able to pinpoint the signal and pull him over. And when they did, they knew it was him . . . because the device also jammed their police radios. They eventually found it hidden under the passenger's seat. Unfortunately for Jason, using a cell phone jammer is a federal crime. And prosecutors went for the maximum penalty, so he's now facing a $48,000 fine.

Ref. 51 gas tax vote gets lukewarm reception in Silverdale
The Kitsap County League of Women Voters Wednesday had lukewarm reactions to a heated debate over Referendum 51.
It was interesting ... I really havent made up my mind yet, said Pat Farrington of Poulsbo following a forum at the WestCoast Silverdale Hotel.
The forum offered up both sides of the measure that if passed would generate $7.7 billion during the next 10 years for more than 80 transportation projects statewide.
Nov. 5 voters will decide on a 9-cent gas tax increase proponents said will bring the state out of its transportation crisis.
This is a new step. This is a new day for our state. said Liz Pierini, former Washington State League of Women Voters president.
Opponents said Ref. 51 is a drop in a deep bucket.
We need a better option than the expensive Band-aid of Referendum 51, said Virginia Gunby from 1000 Friends of Washington and Seattle league member. The Seattle-based Friends seeks to stop urban sprawl and manage growth.
She said the $7.7 billion is one of many referendums the state needs to fix its transportation woes. Mega projects such as the I-405 expansion would not be completed with this money Gunby said. She questioned if the more than $300 million would be enough to purchase four ferries as the plan outlines.
All of these are badly needed, Pierini said as she talked about some of the projects pertinent to Kitsap County including two passenger-only ferries.
The state she said has not been keeping up with maintenance construction of roads, but Gunby said otherwise.
We have been building roads for the past 20 years, Gunby said who went on to say once the new roads are built they fill to capacity.
Her primary concern with Ref. 51 is it cuts funding for alternative methods of transportation from 30 percent as recommended by the Transportation Commissions Blue Ribbon Committee to 15 percent.
Pierini argued that money to the ferries, HOV lanes and transit systems encouraged mass transit rather than solo driving.
We should be delighted. Its troubling to me the people who are concerned with the environment consider this a failure. This is a big victory. We should be celebrating this, she said.
Gunby likened the plan to a thin layer of peanut butter spread across the states political strongholds.
If the measure is rejected, Pierini said it would mean a devastating blow to the states economy.
If it fails we have nothing, she said.
BOX: Kitsap County projects funded through Ref. 51
SR3/Waaga Way Interchange Ramp $5 million
SR 304 Bremerton Gateway Project/ additional terminal lanes $11.million.
Replaces Purdy Creek Bridge on State Highway 101 $6 million
Replaces four 1927-era ferries $322 million
Adds lanes to SR 305 in Poulsbo $9.55 million
Two passenger ferries and terminals $51.3 million, operations $48 million 2004-2013.
Kitsap Transit $35.6 million over 10 yea

Sixty years after a U.S. military plane crashed in Alaska, the debris and remnants are finally being recovered. A C-124 cargo plane went down in 1952 near Anchorage killing all 52 people on board. The Hawaii based Joint POW Accounting Command, or JPAC, which researches and identifies military remains, went to the wreckage site.
"The team recovered material evidence such as some life support equipment, and some personal effects," said Capitan Jamie Dobson from JPAC. "there were also some possible human remains recovered."
KITV4 News talked to a family member of one of the victims, who says the discovery means they are one step closer to closure.
"It's hope that they will in all of that find human remains and be able to identify them, whether it's my grandfather or someone else on that plane," said Tonja Anderson, granddaughter of one of the airmen who died.
JPAC says it could take months to years before they can identify the remains, if at all.

Djimon Hounsou is venturing into the jungle alongside Alexander Skarsgard in "Tarzan". Hounsou is set to play Chief Mbonga and it isn't clear yet if he will be a friend or foe of the King of the Jungle.
The Warner Bros. property and David Yates-helmed film also stars Margot Robbie ("The Wolf of Wall Street") as Tarzan's love interest Jane, as well as Christoph Waltz and Samuel L. Jackson. A rather stellar cast indeed and Skarsgard feels like a fantastic fit to play the title character.
Hounsou has definitely played his fair share of bad guys if it goes that way, as seen in "The Island" and "Push. He will next be seen in James Gunn's "Guardians of the Galaxy". His strong on-screen presence and smooth acting style is an asset to any project. This title is certainly shaping up rather nicely and it will be interesting to see how they choose to explore the rich content for this new rendition of the famous character.
Do you like the addition of Hounsou? Let us know in the comments section below!
"Tarzan" will hit AMC Theatres on July 1st, 2016

GYMNASTICS: Jefferson, Kellar win West Central District crowns; Beamer, West second
The Thomas Jefferson Raiders and Madi Kellar continued their roll through the postseason Friday by snaring the Class 4A West Central District District team title over Beamer at Mount Rainier High School.
Just like at the South Puget Sound League Sub-district meet, the Raiders narrowly edged the Titans. Jefferson tallied 170.7 points, which was just 2.2 points ahead of Beamer. The Titans did finish unbeaten in the SPSL, including a win over the Raiders during both teams' regular-season finale.
Both teams advance into the Class 4A Gymnastics Championships Friday and Saturday inside the Tacoma Dome Exhibition Center. The Raiders and Titans will be joined in the team competition by Newport and Mead. Team competition starts at 9 a.m. Friday and individual events will be contested at 11 a.m. Saturday.
Newport earned the Sea-King District's one and only berth to state Saturday by beating Woodinville with 171.425 points. Woodinville has won the last four state team championships. Mead tallied 169.275 points to win the Eastern Washington region.
Individually, it was all Kellar. The Jefferson junior was again impressive during the West Central District meet and is also primed to bring home a state title.
Kellar claimed the all-around championship with 37.075 points in the four individual events. Kellar outdueled Beamer's Sam West, who finished with 36.7 points. Kellar also outdistanced West last week to win the SPSL all-around title.
Kellar finished first on the uneven parallel bars with a 9.45 and also won the balance beam with a 9.525. West ended up second on the bars with an 8.95 and second on the beam with a 9.275.
West, also a junior, won the West Central District title a season ago and went on to finish second in the all-around at the state championships. The performance helped the Titans finish second in the team standings.
Kellar ended up fifth in the all-around and helped the Raiders snag fourth-place as a team.
Jefferson's Monica Church ended up in a tie for second on the vault with a 9.35 and won the floor exercise with a 9.525. Her twin sister, Shelby Church, finished third on the floor with a 9.45.
2A/3A West Central District Championships
The Decatur Gators will also be represented at the state championships. The Class 3A Gators will be sending six representative to the Tacoma Dome.
All-arounders Anna Paradee and Allison Sherwin qualified, as did individual event finalists Shawntel Bali, Karissa Kolman, Makayla Quam and Victoria Braun.
Paradee ended up seventh overall in the all-around with 33.450 points and Sherwin finished with 32.175.
Quam finished fourth on the balance beam with an 8.6 and Braun was fourth on the floor exercise with a 9.225. Bali will compete at state in all four individual events.
Enumclaw, Auburn Mountainview and Kennedy earned the three team berths to state. Enumclaw won with an impressive 170.325.

St. Paul, MN (NNCNOW.com) --- The Hermantown boys' hockey team had a one-goal lead after the first until East Grand Forks answered with five goals in the second period before winning 7-3 in the MSHSL Class A State Championship on Saturday.
Scott Wasbotten scored the game's first goal with less than a minute to play in the first period. In the second, the Green Wave scored twice in just 1:07 to take a 2-1 lead. They'd add two more goals before the period ended and led 4-1 headed into the final frame.
In the third, Hermantown's Jace Thomas took over in net for Adam Smith, and Parker Hawks scored his first goal of the tournament to cut the deficit to 5-2. That's as close as the Hawks would get as the Green Wave clinched their first ever state championship.
Hermantown has now lost five straight state championships.

Grub and Grub4dosSome Quirky/Wary testers have been complaining about Grub4dos, for example:
Grub4dos is easier to use, but perhaps Grub Legacy (0.97) is more flexible.
I decided to put both of these into the next Quirky and Wary. So, take your pick!
I have chosen the '29ubuntu53' revision, as not so sure about later patches:

Legacy Grub and Grub4Dos
Puppy 4.3.1 Japanese Edition has both legacy grub and grub4dos.
Someone try to apply legacy grub for frugal install and get troubled. They did not aware grub4dos but legacy grub.
I think it makes confusion for the begginers which is better to use.
