Iconic Cycling Events is the specialist cycling division of Breathing Space Activities Ltd.
Breathingspace was founded in 2004 by Richard Best, a keen cyclist, who saw the opportunity to enter the cycling market with the launch of our first event, Bike Bath, in 2012.
The team at ICE are an enthusiastic group of individuals who enjoy designing, developing and delivering high quality cycling events around the UK and overseas. We work with a range of event partners, sponsors and stakeholders at each event including British Cycling.
Bike Bath is a cycling sportive starting in the city centre that takes in routes of varying lengths in the countryside surrounding the spa city with routes changing each year. The event is now well-established in the South West of England's cycling calendar and following its success in 2012 and 2013, ICE was launched in 2014 with the introduction of the Yorkshire Pedalthon and Bike Oxford.
ICE has continued to grow with Bike Cotswold and Bike Cape Town being added to our portfolio of events in 2015 and Bike Chester launching in 2016. We specialise in cycling sportives and bespoke events, catering for a wide range of clients. We have more sportives and other brand new cycling projects lined up for the future.
2015 saw the introduction of Bike Cape Town, a fantastic opportunity for a week long cycling break in the autumn. Riders enjoy cycling in a fully supported protected peloton led by ride captains who have significant experience of the local area.
If you have any questions about any of our events or are interested in us setting up a Bike Series event or a bespoke event please do get in contact with the office where the team will be happy to help.

Someone's Sending Feces to Philosophers, and Other News
October 10, 2016 | by Dan Piepenbring
- There are plenty of people in this world who deserve to find an envelope full of human feces in the mail. Philosophers, in my experience, are not among these people; the life of the mind does not often cry out for comeuppance. But someone thinks otherwise. Sally Haslanger, a professor at MIT, was among four philosophers to receive shit in the mail last summer: "Haslanger wasn't as confounded as one might expect a well-respected philosopher to be when faced with a mysterious package of poop. That's because three other philosophers also received shit in the mail last summer … All four philosophy professors were embroiled in a 2014 academic brawl over what they perceived as an abuse of power within their field. Now they say someone is sending them shit in an attempt to shut them up. The question is, who? And why now?"
- Let's take a trip to the annals of ghostwriting, where new research suggests that Hitler actually wrote Adolf Hitler: His Life and His Speeches, a 1923 book previously believed to be the work of Baron Adolf Victor von Koerber. "I'm convinced from the presented sources that Hitler himself wrote this short text or gave at least the basic information to an editor," a German newspaper editor said. "This is important because it shows that Hitler thought about himself as the 'German savior' as early as 1923. So I think this is a small but important advance in researching Hitler's biography."
Russian Book Jackets from the 1930s

These Russian book jackets from the thirties are among the many riches on offer in the New York Public Library's newly enhanced digital collections. Below are some favorites; you can see the whole collection here. Read More »
Henry Doesn't Have Any Bats, and Other News
June 26, 2015 | by Dan Piepenbring
- In Moscow, a new exhibition remembers Soviet Photo, the USSR's premier photography magazine. Among its many treasures: gymnasts, factories, eggs … and a picture of Khrushchev and Castro drinking ebulliently from horns.
- Whither the aphorism? It's a more popular form than ever—insert obligatory Twitter reference here—but are we using it to its fullest potential? "An aphorism is not a truth but a kind of test (an assay), a statement you are meant to run up against to decide if you agree. If you don't agree, that is not necessarily a failure of the aphorism. The best aphorisms are not the most true but the most undecidable, those worth endlessly testing."
- For that matter, whither the NYPL? It, too, doesn't seem to live up to its full potential: "The New York Public Library has been under intermittent financial pressure for most of its history, but in the last few years it has been enveloped by a controversy that has exposed the institution to unprecedented public scrutiny. What stands revealed is a library that is abandoning its core mission of research and is losing its way in the digital age."
- "Though psychoanalysis didn't help Berryman's alcoholism or state of mind, it did serve to open him up to his inner self, and it was amid the rubble of that excavation that he found his alter-ego: messy Henry, destructive Henry, hateful Henry, devious Henry, pathetic, sozzled, recidivist Henry, self-loathing Henry, song and dance Henry, peccant Henry, grab-ass Henry, stricken-with-guilt Henry, Henry the enduring ruin … 'Henry does resemble me,' Berryman told an interviewer, 'and I resemble Henry; but on the other hand I am not Henry. You know, I pay income tax. Henry pays no income tax. And bats come over and stall in my hair—and fuck them, I'm not Henry; Henry doesn't have any bats.'" August Kleinzahler on John Berryman.
- At the Beinecke Library, the Yale Collection of American Literature houses innumerable rarities and treasures. It also has those insipid "Cultivating Thought" cups and bags from Chipotle. "As much as it sounds like a joke, it fits into a tradition of American writers trying to reach unusual audiences through unusual (if brief) work—and of libraries collecting their labor."
Urgent Questions for Librarians, and Other News
June 2, 2015 | by Dan Piepenbring
- "My idea of hell on earth," Philip Larkin wrote once, "is a literary party." He had in mind the Oxford parties of his era, which, much like the Oxford parties of this era, comprised "a lot of sherry drill with important people." But what if those parties were in fact really entertaining, as at least one guest avows they were? "God, they were fun. Ever since Mrs. Dylan Thomas, at a literary party, stuck her elbow into the bowl of ice cream that T. S. Eliot was eating from, before presenting it to the great poet with the instruction to 'Lick it off,' these things have been democratic, argumentative and often memorable."
- "Please give me the name of a book that dramatizes bedbugs?" "What is the significance of the hip movement in the Hawaiian dance?" "Is it good poetry where every other line rhymes, instead of having each line rhyme with the one before it?" Questions for librarians at the New York Public Library before there was the Internet.
- Saul Bellow's portraitist remembers their encounter: "Bellow talked all the while, about life in New York when he was younger, his cohorts and various writers. What a duplistic moment for me: I had to ask him to be quiet so I could take some close-ups. He was fidgety even while cooperating. He picked up a book of Shakespeare's sonnets and began reading, first quietly, and then aloud. I listened for a few minutes, and cringing apologetically, shushed him again."
- If Louise Erdrich could go back in time, she'd go to prison, as long as the company was good: "I am stranded for a few days in a comfortable jail cell with Walt Whitman and Henry James. I take one side of the room, share a bunk with Emily Dickinson. We listen in on their awkward conversations, exchange sharp glances of amusement."
- Max Mathews, who died in April, wasn't the first person to make sounds with a computer—but his experiments with an IBM 704 mainframe in 1957 were the first to use "a replicable combination of hardware and software that allowed the user to specify what tones he wanted to hear." He was the first computer musician: "He provided the initial research for virtually every aspect of computer music, from his early work with programming languages for synthesis and composition … to foundational research in real-time performance … Max also helped start the conversation about how humans were meant to interact with computers by developing everything from modified violins to idiosyncratic control systems such as the Radio Baton."
Take My Breath Away, and Other News
December 2, 2014 | by Dan Piepenbring
- Rivka Galchen on Kafka (or rather, his biography): "It has been said of Kafka's work many times that the thing to remember is that it is funny. Kafka was known to laugh uncontrollably when reading his work aloud to friends, and though that sounds more like anxiety than hilarity to me, the funny point endures. But what kind of funny is he? … One element of the comedy of Kafka's biography is the way his life, at whatever moment, is dwarfed by his work."
- In the eighties, Hollywood's big-budget movies were teeming with sex scenes: The sex was often in silhouette, yes, and usually accompanied by a saxophone, true, but it was there, just as it is in the human experience. "In the era of Top Gun, The Big Easy, Body Heat, or other steamy Hollywood thrillers, the goal was to appeal to both men and women with the promise of (among other things) onscreen sex. (Ergo the fabled 'date night' movie.) Now the goal is to appeal to adults and their twelve-year-old kids with the promise of the absence of sex."
- Kenneth Snelson's Needle Tower, a sixty-foot sculpture at the Hirshhorn, comprises thin steel wires and barely touches the ground. How does it stay upright in strong wind?
- "A couple of years ago, a Chicago-based corporate-identity consultant, Chris Herron, gave himself the ultimate challenge: rebrand hell. It was half gag, half self-promotion, but Herron took the project seriously, considering what it would take for a place like hell to become a premier destination in the travel market. Herron decided that what hell needed was a complete brand overhaul. The new hell would feature no demons or devils, no tridents or lakes of fire. The brand name was rendered in a lower-case, bubbly blue font designed to evoke 'instant accessibility and comfort'. The slogan, which was once 'Abandon Hope All Ye Who Enter Here,' would be 'Simply Heavenly.' "
- Every December, the New York Public Library's literary lions, Patience and Fortitude, have wreaths hung from their necks—and every year something seems to go wrong, somehow. (Last year the wreaths were simply too big.)
Orwell by Way of Langley, and Other News
November 7, 2014 | by Dan Piepenbring
- Fact: the New York Public Library has among its possessions a letter opener with a handle made from the paw of Charles Dickens's dead cat. ("The story is that he had trained his cat to put out his night candle with his paw.")
- "Genre doesn't have to be vexing. It can be illuminating. It can be useful for writers and readers to think in terms of groups and traditions. And a good genre system—a system that really fits reality—can help us see the traditions in which we're already, unconsciously, immersed."
- Sixty years ago, the CIA helped to bankroll England's first-ever animated film: an adaptation of Animal Farm. They thought it would make for great anti-Russian propaganda, especially if they changed the ending, and they knew it would be cheaper to make it in England. "The CIA agent who bought the film rights supposedly promised Mrs. Orwell that he would arrange for her to meet her favorite star, Clark Gable." Did such a meeting ever occur? When will our government finally tell us the truth?
- Oops: "Do you remember when the Authors Guild sued Google over Google Book Search, which is basically the right to make an index of stuff in books? They said to Google, 'If you're going to do this, you're going to do it on our terms, and you're going to have to give us a whole $70 million.' … Google said, '$70 million? Let's shake the sofa and find some change for you.' Meanwhile, you are guaranteeing that nobody else in the future history of the world will be able to afford to index books, which is one of the ways people find and buy books. Now Google owns that forever, for a mere $70 million! Nice work, Authors Guild. You've just made us all sharecroppers in Google's fields for the rest of eternity."
- The latest battle in the Usage Wars is really heating up: "If you say 'It's not you, it's me,' you are probably a native speaker of English or someone with a good command of how native speakers actually speak. If you say 'It's not you—it's I,' you will quickly achieve the goal of making the other person not want to spend any more time with you. Yet this bizarre formulation is just how Nathan Heller of The New Yorker would have you speak."

To show you the most accurate prices, TTPM only displays our pricing tool on products which we've reviewed in the past three years.
You may be familiar with the InnoTab 2, and the InnoTab 2S adds wi-fi connectivity to enhance the play and learning experience by allowing kids to connect wirelessly to VTech's Learning Lodge Navigator and browse through a variety of books, apps, games, music, videos, and more. They can even pick what they want and put it on their wish list, and when Mom or Dad approve, the content is downloaded instantly.
Like the InnoTab 2, this is a sturdy multi-media tablet with a five-inch touchscreen with motion sensor. Kids can use their fingers or the included stylus to tap and swipe on the screen. Up to five users can create profiles on the InnoTab 2S. It also comes with a rotating digital camera, video recorder, MP3 player, e-Reader, microphone, and built-in apps. The tablet is also designed to work with cartridges that are sold separately. Plus, parents can create an online account and track kids' progress, though the InnoTab 2S has to be connected to the computer via the included USB cable to access that feature. The InnoTab 2S comes with 2GB of memory, but you can add up to 32GB with an SD card, which is sold separately. A headphone jack is included as well as kickstand so you can set up the InnoTab 2S to use as a digital photo frame. The InnoTab 2S is available in blue or pink.
As toy tablets go, this is great for using the huge library of age-appropriate content that's been well designed for kids at different ages. We had a little trouble getting the wi-fi to connect. Our best advice is to be sure you're in an area with a strong signal and realize it might take a minute or so to complete the connection process. Overall, we think this is a very good preschool tablet that's been well designed and has a huge library of content. It's great for take-along play, and for the youngest kids, it will certainly make them feel more grown up.
The InnoTab 2S is for ages 2–9. We think this is going to appeal most to the younger end of that spectrum. Kids will love having their own tablet and it stands up to kids' play. We were impressed by the games, the built-in learning, and kid-friendly features, such as the camera and the e-Reader, especially.
Four AA batteries are required but not included.
Once kids start playing with adult tablets, they may find the speed of this tablet a little frustrating. Though that's not really a problem for the features like the camera, video recorder, or e-Reader, so this will have longer-term value as a toy even as kids move into more sophisticated electronics. We think they'll return to some of their favorite games and activities again and again, especially when Mom or Dad want their own turn with their tablets.

THE BRONX - Parents lined up early today outside Fordham Plaza, one of the enrollment spots where Department of Education officials can make last-minute changes before school begins.
DOE employees were out before the 8 a.m. opening making sure Bronx parents had all the necessary paperwork to enroll for school.
The DOE says if parents still need to enroll their children in school to make sure to bring their child's birth certificate, immunization records and two items proving New York City residence.

Enrollment sites in the Bronx are closed Friday, Monday and Tuesday, but they will reopen on Wednesday. Parents can also enroll for school at their zoned school, which is determined by their home address.
School begins Sept. 4.


text: The Environmental Protection Agency's study that implicated hydraulic fracturing in drinking water contamination in Pavillion, Wyo., is "neither definitive nor applicable to the rest of the country," writes The Wall Street Journal. The EPA must thoroughly reassess its findings, the paper writes, as jobs and billions of dollars in investments are at stake. "By all means take threats to drinking water seriously. But we also need to be sure that regulators aren't spreading needless fears so they can enhance their own power while pursuing an ideological agenda," argues the Journal.

We who believe the word of God often think that, because the Bible says something is true or ought to be done, that this should settle the question.[1] However, would it make sense to us, and I'm questioning Christians at this point—would it make sense to us today to actually stone Sabbath-breakers (Exodus 35:2)? If a Christian plays football, would he be unclean until evening, because he was handling the hide of a pig (Leviticus 11:7-8)? Should divorce be permitted or should we stone those who engage in adulterous relationships (Deuteronomy 22:21-24)? If the Law of Moses was meant to be a moral code, isn't every Christian bound not only to believe but also to carry out its moral values (cf. James 2:18, 24)? Read the rest of this entry »

How Victory Is Won
The New Testament uses the word nikao (G3528) and its derivatives, nike (G3529) and nikos (G3534) in order to show us how we gain victory in our walk with Christ. We overcome (nikao) the world through the blood of Christ (Revelation 12:11), because Christ has overcome the world, and has given us the victory through his death and resurrection. Moreover, although our victory is a gift (1Corinthians 15:57 – nikos), we come to it after many struggles, but we overcome them, because greater is he who is in us than he who is in the world (1John 4:4; Luke 11:22). Victory over the world is attained as we place our trust in Christ (1John 5:4-5 – nike). Finally, victory comes to us wholly when our mortality is swallowed up by eternal life (1Corinthians 15:54 – nikos), which is attained at our death (2Corinthians 5:1-4) or when Christ returns (1Corinthians 15:51-53).

The Battle for the Good News
The question at this point is: why is circumcision (or anything we do) unable to make us right with God (Galatians 5:6; cf. 3:10, 21)? Just as the wages we earn have nothing to do with being a gift we receive, so circumcision or anything we do can have nothing to do with making us right before God, because righteousness is imputed (i.e. it is a gift), and what we do looks for a wage (reward for services rendered). It is Christ who makes us righteous (through grace, a gift), and we can only trust it is so, just as we trust that any gift we receive is entirely a gift—no strings attached.

Standing Fast in Liberty
At this time Paul takes us from theology to ethics, from dogma to living out one's faith. What would our being devoted to God, yet living without the Mosaic Law, look like? If the Mosaic Law is discarded as a premise for Christian conduct, what would happen to moral living? This was the problem that the New Testament Church had to answer, because it was, no doubt, put to us by both the legalists who opposed the believer's posture, and the legalists who were genuinely interested in the answer. If law takes away real freedom, how does one keep from embracing the opposite extreme of living so freely that one becomes addicted to lust, greed, wrath and the like? Obviously, such behavior also takes away true freedom. The answer to this dilemma lies in maintaining the image of Christ within us, which is kept through faith as we shall see.

Paul's Argument of Maturity
In Galatians 3:25-29 Paul argues that, as the mature sons of God, we are no longer under our childhood guardian or schoolmaster. After faith has come—that is, after our salvation appears or after Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection (the object of our faith)—after this appears, we are no longer under the custodian, which Paul explains is the Law (Galatians 3:25). Rather we are under Jesus in whom we trust. Read the rest of this entry »
Paul's Third Argument with Peter
One of the biggest problems of the first century Church was, and it still is today, understanding how we become righteous before God. How is a just God able to justify sinners? In our world those who break the law must be punished in accordance with that law. Some are punished with their lives, while others receive community service for minor infractions, but most receive a jail sentence for greater crimes against society. Often, after they have paid their debt to society, former criminals are not trusted by those among us who have never committed a crime. Yet, we are told that all men, no matter how grave the sin or crime, can be forgiven and justified by God. What would such a thing look like? Read the rest of this entry »
Paul v/s the Apostles in Jerusalem
According to Paul (Galatians 1:18), who is supported by Luke's account in Acts 9, Paul was preaching Christ in Damascus and vicinity for a full three years before he ever met with any of the Apostles at Jerusalem! The indications are that Paul wasn't silent during those three years after his heavenly vision, but began to obey the Lord by preaching the Gospel to those in Damascus and in Arabia (Acts 26:16, 19). If Paul learned the Gospel of Jesus' death and resurrection—that is, that Jesus was the Son of God—by revelation (via his vision on the Damascus Road), this means that his excursions into Arabia imply that he preached the Gospel there among the Ishmaelite people.

[MSoTW] [22/08~29/08] Union Flag
It's a little early, but I won't have network for a few days. It's my first shot at this, so here's hoping it's satisfactory.
Union Flag
Def - 10.8
Speed - 17.1
Attack - 12.3
Agi - 14.4
Weapon Setup
Weapon 1: Plasma Blade (4 hits to knock down, 800 dmg) – Decent reach and the animation on all of it's pre-knockdown strikes are smooth, making for easy SS, and the swing has a fair amount of reach on the Z axis: It's no SRC, but it is good to catch papers trying to jump out of your range.
Weapon 2: 120mm Linear Rifle (Twelve ammo, slight splash damage, medium reload, 1000 dmg) – The damage is average for a C-rank scissors and the shot counts as a ballistic but travels quickly. The weapon also has a slight splash radius, which makes it easier to land hits and damage opponents hiding just behind a corner.
Weapon 3: 20mm Machine Gun (12 ammo, 5-shot burst, fast reload, 100 x5 dmg) – By and large the game's filler weapon, the Flag's 'vulcans' are no exception. Terrible range, low damage, and only good for adding minor damage while w2 reloads.
Mobility Up – Agility +4.5, speed +2.4, and movement speed up 10%.
Reload Up – Decreases reload time by 50%.
Pros and Cons
~ W2. Ballistic, good damage, good flight time, and enough of a splash radius to hit enemies behind thin cover or hiding just around the corner.
~ Surprisingly smooth melee. Despite being a scissors, this is a huge plus. The Union Flag's melee is solid all around, making it a good option for rescuing allies and giving it a fair chance at standing toe to toe with a rock if push comes to shove.
~ Reload up. On a unit that relies on a ranged weapon for most of its damage, this skill is GOD.
~ Very fragile; a single melee combo from most rocks will rip the suit to pieces.
~ Its boost. Like most C-rank scissors, the Union Flag's boost is terrible. If you aren't close to friendly units and a rock is on the chase, it's gg.
~ W3. The only real purpose for this weapon is buying time for w2 to reload and being easier to use than w2 at close range due to the minute animation. The damage doesn't come close to comparing to w2 even if all the shots hit, making this weapon complete filler.
Option 1 – Snipe
The unit has a long enough range and fast enough travel time that you can 'snipe' an opponent to death. Like most weapons that are carried in a single hand, you don't have to come completely out from behind cover to fire this weapon. This tactic provides survivability while still doing some damage, giving you more time to abuse w2.
Option 2 – Shadowing
This is my preferred tactic. Like most scissors, the Union Flag has good support fire and supplements damage well. This often requires the player to spend a little more time in the open being shot at, but it gets you closer to your team's rocks and covering players while also allowing the team to cover you. It also allows for the Flag to play a 'savior' role, rescuing teammates from enemy rocks with its surprisingly good melee.
Build Suggestions
C/OC attack. This bumps a C4 Flag's attack up to a solid 24.0 at OC6, and is the only worthwhile build imo; the higher the damage per shot, the less work your allies have to do to deal the finishing blow, and the overall damage outweighs any benefits from any other possible builds. Plus, since w1 is often used to save teammates, the added damage on the melee is also a plus.
Union Realdo –While the effects of Reload Up are better than Vaccine-V between these two units, the skill is still very good, and Attack up is much better than Mobility Up. The only downsides are that the Realdo only has ten shots instead of twelve with w2, and without reload up as a skill the Realdo suffers from not being able to fire as many shots in sequence as its successor. Other than that, w3 has a higher damage output and longer range than the vulcans, and causes slow. The Realdo also has a ranged special, which gives it a further advantage over the Flag. In the end, the Realdo is mildly better, but overall they still stand on the same level.
GM II (AEUG) – Something akin to the beam-wielding counterpart to the Union Flag, the GM II (AEUG)'s weapon set has the same base damage that the Union Flag's do. The real difference lies in its skills: where the Flag has Mobility Up and Reload Up, GM instead has Infinite Ammo: w2 (C) and Attack up. While Infinite Ammo is a nice skill to have, by the time the skill is active, the suit is often doomed to be shot down before it gets to use it effectively. Attack up good skill to have, pushing the attack stat on GM II (AEUG) 1.5 points higher than the Flag's once the skill kicks in with all points into attack on both units. On the other hand, the fact that the GM's main damage dealer is a beam gives it a severe weakness to Laminate Armor and I-field.
GM Ground Type – This is a bit of an unfair comparison. With Defense Up giving it survivability and Communications Commander assisting the entire team, the skills alone make this suit more useful. The Machine Gun has decent damage, fast firing, and a crap ton of ammo on top of a fast reload. The Flag's damage outmatches the machine gun per shot, but with the extra ammo on top of it, GM Ground Type gets about the same damage overall as the Flag. And then there's the Missile Launcher. Three shots, medium reload, homing, and great damage; there is nothing not to like about this weapon. Unlike the Flag's vulcans, the Missile Launcher is a very good third weapon, giving this suit just one more option to play with.
Gameplay Videos
The Union flag is a solid C-rank scissors that plays like almost every other C-rank scissors. It's not outstanding in any way, but it isn't lacking in any way either. Though not the best out there, it does well as a mook unit. I'd suggest it for anybody who has any nostalgic value for Graham Aker or the Flag Fighters.
lol, Union Flag.
Besides the railgun there's almost nothing of its weaponset for doing heavy damage. So fragile it's not even funny.
I disagree on the comparison between Realdo and Flag, though. V-Vac is far, far more useful than Reload Up for Flag. Any decent player should conserve ammo, but with V-Vac, if you get hit by, say, a stun rifle or get caught by an Aps I, you're okay. Especially stun, which means you're out in t he open, frozen for a second. For fragile little C ranks V-Vac is lovely beyond comparison. Okay, Reload is godly skill, too, but railgun loading is fine without it. It's not a gatling or flashlight; you're not going to spam it.
Hey hey, Union Flag. Used to be my main C rank scissor until I got bored of it :py25:
Well here's my two cents on Union Flag.
It's a decent little C rank. The linear rifle's splash makes it more noob-friendly for shooting. Melee can outdo B/C rocks at times, and those vulcans do enough damage to be used occasionally. Used mainly for support fire or kiting noobs.
Jegan outdoes the Flag at everything it does. SERIOUSLY.
But Jegan doesn't have a stick for a shield, or a golden faceplate...
And Jegan's rifle is also very easy to land. I don't know why, it just is.
Flag is awesome
I kill Dendros and GNADs with it all the time in BS
I have to admit I prefer the Flag's aesthetics over the Jegan's.
That is, unless the Jegan happens to be a Stark Jegan. With Unicorn horns. :py63:
he's relatively speaking
flag is decent, it was one of the C ranks i had more fun with training to custom 1
the linear rifle is my favourite weapon type acutally, its one of the easiest to manual aim in my opinion

Yeah, but, they dont get arrested if they beat yo ass

Animal Kingdom: Pretty happy with self. Searching for next meal and/or napping.
Winner: …
thanks this
I love this. Haha, and humans think they're superior and can do everything better than other animals!! 😀
Quite stupid and unimportant comparisons…besides I have heard that some people like the taste of rotten fish and cheetahs , unlike us, are pretty bad when it comes to endurance..there are many stories of humans who survived in jungles after plane crash ..
And following your logic, all other animals are inferior to fish because only fish have gills..oh and fish are not literally breathing underwater(they don't have lungs), they filtrate oxygen from water and we can produce our own heat while fish and reptiles cannot
How come im not this list? bark bark bark im better at barking
Body parts and mundane acts don't make animals better than anything else. If you can screw more than a human, have wings and so forth, whatever.
I enjoy that lovely thing called metacognition, something your "winners" don't have.

Skip to comments.Bicyclist shot after colliding with pickup truck in Taylor; Later dies during surgery
Posted on 08/30/2012 4:24:05 AM PDT by equaviator
Police say pickup truck driver shot bicyclist after crash, altercation at Telegraph, Northline roads
TAYLOR, Mich. -
A bicyclist who was shot after being involved in a traffic accident with a pickup driver in Taylor has died.
Taylor police say the bicyclist died during surgery after the Wednesday night incident with a 46-year-old driver.
Police said the two began arguing after the bicyclist disregarded a "Do Not Cross" signal at Telegraph and Northline roads, causing the driver to hit him. Witnesses said the bicyclist got up and confronted the driver.
"The pedestrian light was red. He wasn't supposed to be crossing and ran into the side of the truck," said witness Michelle Noffsinger. "He jumped up, he got up, and he ran around the front of the truck to the driver's side and he just started pounding on this guy. He hit him ... maybe seven times or so, and then the driver shot him and he fell to the ground. It was just really crazy."
Witnesses told police the driver pulled a pistol and fired one round at the bicyclist, striking him in the chest. The motorist stayed at the scene until police arrived. He is being held pending any charges.
Police said they are still trying to identify the bicyclist. He is described as a white man between 35 and 40 years old with gray hair. He was riding a 10-speed bike.
Anyone with information on the crash, shooting and the bicyclist's identity is asked to contact the Taylor Police Department.
Probably because the law in that state may say that if you have the opportunity to avoid the fight (by driving away) that you are wrong to shoot.
On the other hand, it is against the law in every state to leave the scene of an accident and the penalties are draconian in most states.
So the lawyers will get to sort it out.
As for me, my sympathies are with the truck driver. Unless he ran the light, and there is nothing here to indicate that he did, the bike rider was way out of line to start a fight.
When I go to the grocery store it is 2 lane, hills and curves with double line no passing all the way for 7 miles.
Without fail half way there I wind up having to follow some spandex clad faggot doing 10 mph for 3-4 miles.
They don't have sense enough pull over or even ride on the edge of the road to let you pass.
It's enough to make you want to start chewing tobacco again, so you can really soak them down when you do get to where you can pass.
A bicyclist is NOT a pedestrian
a Bicyclist is a legal operating vehicle on the road
traffic laws that apply to vehicles apply to bicycles, not pedestrians
I need to see a better description of the accident to make judgement because of this
It has nothing to do with bicycles. In fact, there's barely need of it being mentioned.
This is strictly an assault-and-battery case that turned out poorly for the batterer.
If that's not the truth! I won't say this idiot "deserved" to be killed, but I sure don't feel any sympathy for him.
"The pedestrian light was red. He wasn't supposed to be crossing and ran into the side of the truck," said witness Michelle Noffsinger. "He jumped up, he got up, and he ran around the front of the truck to the driver's side and he just started pounding on this guy. He hit him ... maybe seven times or so, and then the driver shot him and he fell to the ground. It was just really crazy."
like a said, a cyclist is NOT a pedestrian, seems the writer of this article got it wrong claiming that pedestrian signs are something that a vehicle, that a cyclist is, is supposed to obey, but I would still like to see where he crossed and from where the truck came because it sounds like the cyclist had the right of way so far
I used to live on the northeast side of Tucson. When I drove home on Tanque Verde road there was always a group of those bastards blocking the road.
A Varsity would have smashed up the truck pretty good. They ran about 40 pounds.
"...they need to make sure the area is adequate for it and have their vehicles 'taxed' since they want to share the road."
Amen! Getting to my house requires driving 6 miles on a narrow road. It has a wide dirt shoulder, but of course people who dress like French transvestites don't want that...they want the pavement. Add in lots of dips and some turns, and you can be stuck behind Mr "I've got rights" for quite a way.
Technically, I have the right to ride my horse down the road too, but I don't. On the shoulder, but not on the road. It wouldn't occur to me to ride her down the center of the road and expect cars to wait for a safe place to pass my horse. But I wear T-shirts and jeans, so maybe I'm not as special as a French transvestite...
Drivers licenses should be required to ride bicycles in traffic.
Telegraph road, in Taylor, is a 4 lane federal highway. Most likely the reason the witness mentioned that the pedestrian signal was red was because the bicyclist was riding on the sidewalk.
I used to condemn them for blocking the road, but in recent years I have realized that there is probably a reason for that.
When a lone bike rider is hugging the edge of the road, many drivers will try to squeeze between them and an oncoming vehicle, with the result that the car passing the bike rider gets really close to the bike rider. Too close for comfort.
So in blocking the lane, they force the vehicle to wait until there is no oncoming traffic.
Not that I agree with them, but only to recognize that there are vehicle drivers who will "squeeze".
My biggest complaint with them is the stupid practice of riding in dark clothes on roads with lots of tree shadows. A driver in a spot of bright light, squinting because of the bright light, has a very hard time seeing a bike in the dark shadows.
It should be the law that all riders must wear a shirt or top of luminous green.
I have recently run up behind bike riders in dark blue riding within a half mile on the same route as a rider who was recently badly injured with the resulting uproar on the local editorial pages.....
That is stupid.
This sounds to me like the cyclist did not have the ROW. Pedestrian lights normally are set to allow the pedestrians to in the same direction as the road traffic so if the pedestrian signal was red most likely the travel lane was red too. Seems to me like the cyclist ran the light and t-boned the truck, then he tried to beat the driver. It seems to me like he made two very bad choices and paid for those bad choices with his life.
Sounds like self-defense to me. No-bill the driver.
to ALL:
While, as in any sub-culture, there is some sort of definable distribution regarding any behavior or characteristic, that group known collectively as "serious bikers" has a DEMONSTRABLE skew in the behavior characteristics we could label as "civilized behavior".
While I applaud the posters here who claim to seriously try to behave well while riding, most people who have encountered the biker riding an expensive umpteen speed cycle, wholly encased in spandex, whose feet are "inconveniently" clipped to their pedals, will freely attest to the rude, essentially obnoxious actions by the HUGE MAJORITY of male AND female adults riding bikes.
I won't even open the issue of the political leanings of, (again), the HUGE MAJORITY of serious bikers - it's unnecessary because their basic behavior is so anti-social (albeit, such behavior and political leanings are closely related for the most part).
If the cyclist was riding on the street, he is a traffic vehicle, not a pedestrian.
If he went around and assaulted the driver, he's damned stupid.
Let it be a lesson to the bike riding public.
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
Let it be a lesson to the PUBLIC.
If you desire to go up to someone and start pounding the snot out of them - no matter what the reason - chances are good that you may assume room temperature.
Same goes if one decides to wave a gun in another ones face - don't 'cry' when the assaulted shoots you.
Just one of 'lessons of life', which really isn't fair and being stupid doesn't increase your odds to survive.
'people who dress like French transvestites'
One of the better lines on FR lately. I feel compelled to borrow it from you.
Or at least a death certificate.
As a dedicated cyclist I refuse to ride the streets. Luckily the area I live in has numerious dedicated bike paths, several hundred miles of them all told, that provide for car free/safe two lane traffic while, at the same time, giving a sort of a "wilderness in the city" experience.
I've encountered everything from mountain lions to rattlesnakes, coyotes to Canada geese, trophy sized deer to rapid running ground squirels, and pheasants to wild turkeys while riding the trails which are laid in "green belt" areas that surround the local rivers, streams, and creeks.
The bike trails are very popular and very crowded on the weekends, though on the less popular weekdays you may feel at times as though you've stumbled onto the start of the Tour de France, after being passed by "drafting" teams in full team regalia, riding at speeds well above the 15 MPH posted trail speed limit!
Nope you won't find me riding any of the city streets! Those big bumpered cars, traveling at speeds much faster than I can spin, can have 'em without me!.....
"10-speed bike...schwinn varsity..."
Good point. I had one of these in the 60's. It must have been an older model street bike. The models I've seen today are either 3x7 or 3x8, not 2x5.
that was my question, i would think a guy on a ten speed wouldnt be much of a threat, its those tweeked out fixed gear riders you need to be worried about!
i used to race semi-pro events so i have a few miles under me, ive been run off the road intentionally, hit half a dozen times, had beer bottles thrown at me (Georgia) and even been hit by a van with a "start seeing motorcycles" bumper, but never would i have gone after a person in a vehicle. while i reserve the right to ride my bicycle on the road, it is also my job to protect myself.
I remember bicyclists blasting through red lights when I lived in Tulsa. It appears that red lights do not apply to bicyclists. Glad I and others around had good brakes.
Never trust a bicyclist.
Police said they are still trying to identify the bicyclist. He is described as a white man between 35 and 40 years old with gray hair. He was riding a 10-speed bike.
Any bets on his political registration?
The bicycle is a parody of a wheeled vehiclea donkey cart without the cart, where you do the work of the donkey.
A fibrosis of bicycle lanes is spreading through the cities of the world. The well-being of innocent motorists is threatened as traffic passageways are choked by the spread of dull whirs, sharp whistles and sanctimonious pedal-pushing.
Almost everything that travels on a city street, including some of the larger people in the crosswalks, can crush a bicycle. Everything that protrudes from or into a city streetpot holes, pavement cracks, manhole coverscan send a bicycle flying into the air.
Given that riding a bike in a city is insane and that very few cities need more insane people on their streets, why the profusion of urban bike lanes? One excuse for bike lanes is that an increase in bicycle riding means a decrease in traffic congestion. A visit to New Yorkor Bogotágives the lie to this notion. You can't decrease traffic congestion by putting things in the way of traffic.
Bike lane advocates also claim that bicycles are environmentally friendly, producing less pollution and fewer carbon emissions than automobiles. But bicycle riders do a lot of huffing and puffing, exhaling large amounts of CO2. And whether a bicycle rider, after a long bicycle ride, is cleaner than the exhaust of a modern automobile is open to question.
Bike lanes violate a fundamental principle of democracy. We, the majority who do not ride bicycles, are being forced to sacrifice our left turns, parking places and chances to squeeze by delivery trucks so that an affluent elite can feel good about itself for getting wet, cold, tired and run-over. Our tax dollars are being used to subsidize our annoyance.
Bicycle riders must be made to bear the burden of this special-interest boondoggle. Bicycle registration fees should be raised until they produce enough revenue to build and maintain new expressways so that drivers can avoid city streets clogged by bike lanes. Special rubber fittings should be made available so that bicycle riders can wear E-ZPass transponders on their noses. And riders' license qualifications should be rigorous, requiring not only written exams and road tests but also bathroom scales. No should be allowed on a bicycle if the view he or she presents from behind causes the kind of hysterical laughter that stops traffic.
Crazy with a sense of entitlement and a willingness to use violence without just cause. Clearly a Tea Party member. /s
3x7-8 are typically cheap mountain bikes. The standards for road bikes are now 2x10 and 2x11. Yep, 11 gears on the cassette alone, with two up front.
Yep, this thread was pretty much as I thought. Only half-a-dozen comments on the actual assault, but the ignorati came out in droves to express their &#(#! ^&% opinions on bicycles and spandex.
We had to go south to a birthday party last Sunday and the mountain was full of bicyclers, mostly women which is something new we've noticed. One girl stayed in the middle of the lane all the way down with a line of traffic following her, it was insane.
I would guess that 99% of bicyclists have drivers licenses. I'm licensed to drive vehicles under 26K and motorcycles, so I don't think I'd have a problem getting a bicycle license.
"Bike must have been a Schwinn Varsity"
I'm thinking Schwinn Continental...It's more worldy and sophisticated sounding.
I'm not so sure...
The witness said the pedestrian light was red - not the traffic light. A bicycle has the same rights to the road as any other vehicle, and the same responsibility to follow the traffic signs and lights. In this case, it seems that the witness thought that the bike was in the wrong because of the pedestrian light aspect. There are times at intersections that pedestrian lights are red and the main traffic signal is still green. That doesn't make the cyclist in the wrong. I'd need to see more info from the police report.
That said, he was an idiot for getting into a physical confrontation with the driver.
People forget that most bicyclists are drivers too. As a driver I have come across cyclists like the ones you mentioned. I am always sorely tempted...
BTW, I rode the Seattle to Portland every year between 1991 and 2006. You guys make it possible.
One less bike rider who thinks he owns the road.
I ride close to 30 miles an hour. Bicycle and jogging paths are not made for cyclists - they're built for leisure riders, kids, and joggers, all of whom don't want high speed riders zooming past them.
My road bike is 2x9
I cracked up reading that.
I gotta tell you the saddest case of me being hit was on a commute. It was a spectacular summer day and the traffic was dead stopped. I'm zinging by in the bike lane and a guy in a gorgeous red Porsche Carrera has had it and decides to turn right into a side area just as I come up on him (no signal or anything, just really abrupt). I hit the side of his car and my pedal is stuck coming up on the top inside his wheel well. I hear a crunch as I force it through the fender to keep from going down.
I didn't even slow down and rode on home. I didn't want the hassle.
Yeah. Good catch. That being said, if the bike had a green light, it means the guy in the truck was running a red light.
Do you have any idea how hard it is to train a bicycle to do that to it's rider?
Sounds like a good shoot and a misleading headline.
"That said, he was an idiot for getting into a physical confrontation with the driver."
Yeah, for a minute there he was lucky to be alive but then he totally blew it.
A guy at work told me, "I will never vote Democratic as long as I am alive, after that, all bets are off."
I always had a lot of respect for people who could do those bike tours. The area where I lived (around Lynchburg) was hilly and some of those tours went into some serious climbs and descents. Me, I was just the big fat dude with a radio and a pickup truck who picked up the ones that couldn't make it. :)
It wasn't always safe, either. One guy died of a heart attack on one of the rides ("dead before he hit the ground," was what I heard later from one of the EMTs). Another missed a downhill curve at 40 mph, went head-on into a guardrail, tore a huge gash in his midsection going *over* said guardrail, went about 10' down an embankment, landed on a tree stump butt-first and cracked his pelvis. But at least the tree stump kept him from rolling at least another hundred feet down a 70-degree slope. Amazingly enough, I never remember hearing of a car/bike crash, though I do remember at least one cyclist running afoul of somebody's hound dawg.
Some of those guys rode those Saturday charity rides like it was the Tour de France.
Im waiting at a light after dark. It turns green. As I press my accelerator. "
You don't have a bicycle?
The guy was on a bicycle, he was no doubt a Spandex wearing liberal. What else do you need? /s
The only thing lots of people on this thread seem to regret, is they didn't do the shooting.
I ride my bike a lot, and I am no where near spandex
and I think the cyclists down here are insane, they take over the road and complain when you pass them
so are the drivers, they slow down to yoour speed instead of just pass you
I also commute by bike, 30 mile round trip about 20-25% of the working days of the year.
While I appreciate your honesty, it is frustrating and disappointing to hear your cavalier approach to trafffic regulations.
Same road, same rules, same rights.
Clipping out and back in won't kill you, and you set a bad example when you flout the rules.
I ride a bike too, a lot. And wear Spandex. I may roll through a stop sign to avoid unclipping my pedals, but I always stop for red lights.
What surprises me is the hate you get for getting out and getting some exercise, even when you are courteous and try to minimize your impact upon others on the road. This thread is a good example, feel the love.
Yeah. I wasn't riding that night.

Health care reform with patients coming first
True leadership is always future-oriented, not trapped in the past or determined to live on past glories. It is, in short, transformational.
This is the leadership that is now needed in Washington as the nation embarks on a program of meaningful health care reform.
What is a transformational leader? He or she is an individual who, through self-reflection, meaningful consultation with others and a willingness to embrace change, finds a new place of truth within himself or herself that fosters service, connection and, ultimately, action.
Transformational leaders develop a vibrant platform from which to conduct their lives, show a capacity for outreach, a commitment to right action, a reverence for truth and a willingness to accept daunting challenges and overcome obstacles to do the right thing. They find, in sum, ways to make good things happen in the right way for the betterment of the common good.
We need this type of leadership as we embark on the reform of our nation's health care delivery system. We must listen to history, but history can only help us avoid the mistakes of the past. It cannot teach us how to make our system right for our age and for our society. That is up to our truly transformational leaders.
Many have tried since President Teddy Roosevelt commissioned Abraham Flexner to write his famous Flexner Report, which looked at the state of health care in the United States at the start of the 20th century.
A hundred years ago, Flexner found the same issues we are grappling with today: health care was too expensive, not accessible to all and of variable quality. The report suggested a vigorous scientific solution based on the Johns Hopkins model. Since then, a succession of presidents has sought solutions, and now it is Barack Obama's turn. Will it be done before the 100th anniversary of the Flexner Report in 2010?
If past is prologue to the future, the answer is no. If we learn from our mistakes of the past, the answer is yes.
Why do we need it? Health care as a percentage of GDP spending has reached an all-time high from 5.8% in 1960 to 14% in 2000, and will easily reach 17% by 2010. Simultaneously, increases in health care expenditures per capita per year went from $142 in 1960 to $4,000 in 2000, and will reach $7,000 by 2010.
Most other industrialized nations spend $3,000 per capita per year with equal or better outcomes than the United States. Insurance premiums of all kinds have also increased sharply over the past several years, with corporations experiencing intense health care cost increases growing at a rate three to four times higher than growth in wages.
In short, an employer-based health care delivery such as ours is unsustainable in the long run vis-à-vis a global economy. It puts American businesses at a serious disadvantage in this marketplace, and the amount of money spent does not appear to cause a concomitant increase in better health for our people.
What's to be done? The answer is deceptively simple: reduce cost, increase access and improve quality of care. But who has to lead this charge? Should it be the insurance industry? The drug industry? The plaintiffs' lawyers? The politicians?
I think not. Their incentives are driven mostly by bottom-line considerations.
What can we in academic medicine do? For sure, we cannot sit idly by while the citadel of medicine and health is under siege, and the very engine that will produce the next generation of health care professionals is in harm's way.
The nation entrusts the health of its people to us - the academic health centers. It is we who continue to educate and train the providers of the care that will help to alleviate the misery of human pain, suffering and illness: the nurses, physicians, dentists, public health officials, pharmacists and other similar providers.
So for whom does medicine speak? Surely not just for itself. Doesn't someone have to speak for the patient?
The banner in the Medical College of Wisconsin lobby is a quote from Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine: "Wherever the art of medicine is loved, there also is love of humanity."
If we truly love humanity, then it is incumbent on academic health centers to advocate on behalf of the patients of America to ensure that whatever system is adopted by Congress, it is a system that centers on the needs of the patient, a system that provides qualitatively good and timely care, a system that doesn't bankrupt families because of catastrophic illness, a system that doesn't ignore the poor or the temporarily unemployed and a system that rewards appropriately the providers of the care that all of us need and want.
We need to be the voice of the patient crying in the health care wilderness, to be a beacon of hope and light to the sick, the aging and the dying. We need to be the leaders who will transform American health care so that it fulfills its promise: to become the finest health care delivery system in the history of the world.
We do this by remembering that what is best for the patient is what is best for health care in this country.
T. Michael Bolger is president and CEO of the Medical College of Wisconsin. These remarks are excerpted from his recent convocation address to the community.

Sheriff needs to rearrange his priorities
Whenever I read a news story in which a New Mexico sheriff is whining about lack of funding or support ("Gap in sheriff coverage upsets resident," Sunday CNJ), I have to laugh. I laugh because the sheriff either:
(a) doesn't understand the level of his or her authority
(b) doesn't care; or
(c) is attempting to educate the public on rearranging their priorities.
County sheriffs in New Mexico have more authority than the governor. Their decisions trump those of the cities in which they are located, the state and, in quite a few instances, federal authorities.
The Curry County sheriff has announced that he doesn't want to provide deputies to respond to situations occurring between 2 and 6 a.m., particularly burglaries.
I don't blame him. Apparently, he and his constituents have decided that law enforcement efforts need to be concentrated on making sure that people
• wear their seat belts
• have their children secured in the proper state-mandated child safety seat
• not speed
• not drink (anything or any amount) then drive
• present ID in order to buy over-the-counter cold medications
It's all a matter of priorities, people. It looks to me like we would all be better off to instruct the sheriff to rearrange his priorities.
Glenda Bly
Animal cruelty serious offense
In January we at One 4 All Animal Rescue of Clovis were contacted by a deputy with the Curry County Sheriff's Department. We had already heard about the seizure of several animals from a residence near Melrose.
The term we use for people with this many animals (almost 60, officials said) in such bad condition is "hoarders." The deputy and his colleagues were concerned about the remaining cats.
I went to see them. Unfortunately most were suffering from severe upper respiratory condition and many had ringworm. As we have no facility and could not find an organization in time to take them we were unable to save the cats.
Earlier this year we were able to rescue eight dogs from another hoarder. All needed extensive medical treatment.
Since our organization started in September 2004 we have seen many animal cruelty cases. It is common and disturbing to see such widespread animal cruelty in our community.
I would encourage people to please call police or animal control if they see neglected or abused animals. Animal cruelty is a serious offense in New Mexico, ranging from a misdemeanor to a fourth-degree felony.
I hope your readers will understand that when we see animal cruelty we are witnessing a disturbing form of human behavior.
Carol Baker
Director of One 4 All Animal Rescue
Bush should address price-gouging
It is past time for President Bush to take action against price gouging in the oil and natural gas industries.
I can understand some of the increase in gasoline, but there is no reason for natural gas prices to increase over 50 percent.
Oops, I forgot the three major reasons for the increases in both which is GREED, GREED, GREED.
Does this letter sound like I am angry? If it does, here is the reason for such anger:
I just received my gas bill for last month. This bill forced me to go to my magic computer and compare four months to the same four months last year.
What I found was a 50 percent increase — and this is a milder winter than last.
How do the senior citizens (which I am) get by? Do without food, medicine, breathing, or what?
And it's not just the seniors who are hurting. In this, the greatest nation on Earth, farmers, and everyone below the higher-income brackets are impacted by these increases.
We, the end users, are stuck. We cannot go to a competitor for better natural gas prices and if we drive to another gas station their prices are the same.
Our governor was very generous and sent us a check for $84 to help us with the increases in gasoline and natural gas. Big deal!
Again, I say it is past time for the president to take action and address this major problem.
John O. Frey
