It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
Thanks to an injury which means I am not allowed to run, I have been cycling for my commute, which means 2 hours a day cycling. I like it in almost every way except that the saddle makes me really sore, in a place where I don't want to be! (I am female by the way.) It doesn't feel like bruising, it's more like the skin itself is sore. Does anyone have any ideas for stopping this happening? Is it worth getting a women's specific saddle? (At the moment I have the saddle which came with my cheapy road bike, so it is probably nothing special)
The short answer is 'yes' I think. There is a right way to be saddle sore - your bony bits should ache a bit for a few rides until they get used to it, then you should feel fine. If you have lingering pain or non-bony pain then your weight ain't going down where it should. And no-one of either gender should get soft tissue pain lest all manner of dysfunctions result.
Most women specific saddles are slightly wider than men's to accomodate a different shaped bony pelvis - or you might prefer a 'cut out' model with a big central scoop so your nether regions aren't squished.
Sorry - should have added that Mrs BTB has something like this and says it's great:

Thanks for all your answers. I'm cycling in jeans cos I can't be bothered to get changed when I get there... so I will stop being lazy and skanky and get something padded to wear!
It does feel like maybe my weight is too far forwards, so maybe I need to mess about with the saddle position. I'll look into women's saddles as well.
Siance- LOL! And ewwww.
Quite! I recall those seams on jeans during horse riding. Never again
Don't know how they get that cool cowboy image unless the rider's wearing a chamois underneath!
When you get some bike shorts be sure never to ask your other half whether your bum looks big in them though...

Australian goods and service will increasingly benefit from surging demand from middle-class consumers in Asia, particularly in China, according to a senior treasury official.
"They will have demands that have to do with a rising standard of living," whether for wealth management, healthcare and travel, David Gruen, head of Treasury's economic forecasting department, told a conference organized by the Committee for Economic Development of Australia in Canberra on Monday.
"The rise of the middle class in Asia is going to be the really big story and have an impact for Australian goods and services," he said.
Despite recent decades of surging economic growth, China's standard of living is still only around 20 per cent that of the world's wealthiest nations, Dr Gruen said.
The standard of living in China – which is adding the equivalent of the population of Australia to cities every year – had "scope for substantial catch up" with wealthy nations, he said.
China is likely contribute more to global growth than all developed nations combined over the next five years, he said.
If the country continues growing by at least 7 per cent a year, its economy will double every decade.

Steamboat Springs Luckily, for the members of the Steamboat Springs boys basketball team, at least one doctor in Colorado still makes house calls or at least gym calls.
Duane Lewis, better known as the shot doctor, will be at coach Kelly Meek's annual preseason basketball camp this Thursday afternoon. The visiting coach will stress the basics of shooting during his sessions at Steamboat Springs High School.
The sessions are part of a camp, which has become the traditional kickoff for the high school basketball season in Steamboat.
The camp will welcome local high school athletes back into the gym this week. The team's first official practices of the season, however, will not come until Nov. 12.
"This camp is a good opportunity for our older players to work with some of the younger incoming players," Meek said. "This is where they learn what is expected and how our program works. The older guys also seem to like working with the younger kids as well."
In the past, the camp has run five days before the official start of the season. This year, however, Meek has extended the camp to take advantage of some outside help from Lewis.
"They call him the shot doctor and he has been a big help to our team in the past," Meek said.
Lewis, a former high school coach for Alameda and Alamosa, has spent years working with basketball players from around the state at the high school and college level. He was one of the winningest coaches in Colorado high school basketball history.
Meek said this was the only time Lewis could visit Steamboat this season, so he decided to expand the camp to take advantage of the situation.
Meek wanted to get the local players on the floor prior to Lewis' visit and he also wanted to follow up with the players Friday to make the most of Lewis' visit.
"We are going to have multiple sessions on Thursday so that the kids can get the one-on-one attention they need from Lewis," Meek said.
The Sailors' basketball camp will open at 3:35 p.m. today and run until 6 p.m.
On Thursday, Meek will run sessions from 2:15 to 6:15 p.m. However, the players taking part in the camp will be divided into groups small enough for Lewis to handle.
The schedule will return to 3:45 to 6 p.m. Friday.
Meek said the camp's times will change a bit in the second week of action because the Steamboat girls team will also step back onto the court for its preseason camp.
"We will be focusing on the basic skills all eight days," Meek said. "We will have themes for each day of the camp that will stress specific areas, but the idea is to get everyone on the same page before the season starts."

More Ways to Pay
What is the Transmission and Distribution Service Provider (TDSP) Meter Surcharge? The TDSP Meter Surcharge is a monthly fee based on your business kW demand. This fee is assessed by your local TDSP (Oncor or CenterPoint), in order to provide electric customers with technologically-advanced electric meters. It is a Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) approved fee that is passed on to you through your retail electric provider (REP). You may also hear this fee referred to as part of the Advanced Meter System Program or the "smart meter" fee. "Smart meters" are being installed in the Oncor and CenterPoint service territories beginning in 2009.
Who can I talk to if I have additional questions? If you have additional questions about the TDSP Meter Surcharge or Advanced Meter System "smart meter" program, please contact your TDSP (Oncor or CenterPoint). You can Oncor at 1-800-518-2380 or CenterPoint at 1-800-332-7143.
Are other electric companies charging this fee? Yes. The fee is actually charged by your TDSP, but may be passed on to you through the retail electric providers that service these territories.
What is this fee for?The TDSP meter surcharge is a monthly charge that will provide electricity customers with technologically advanced electric meters that will be installed over a period of up to 4 to 5 years depending on your TDSP. These new "smart meters" can help you manage your energy use, conserve energy, and save money by providing you detailed information on your energy consumption. The "smart meters" can also help minimize the duration of power outages because your outages will automatically be reported.
Is this a one-time billing charge? No, this is not a one-time billing charge. The Public Utility Commission has approved a surcharge based on your business' kW demand which will be added to your bill each month as a monthly surcharge.
When will the charge become effective?Beginning with bills starting 12/29/08 for the former SESCO (Oncor) territory, and 2/16/09 for the remaining Oncor territory, and with bills starting 2/2/09 for the CenterPoint territory, the PUCT-approved pass-through fee will be added to your bill as a monthly surcharge line item. This charge will appear for the next 11 years for Oncor, and 12 years for CenterPoint. If you look on your bill where it lists TDSP charges, you will see a charge listed as "TDSP Meter Surcharge".
Has my rate changed because of it?The average rate quoted to you on your Electricity Facts Label has changed because this monthly charge has been rolled into the rate.
I'm on a price-protected plan, so I thought my rate could not change? With a price-protected plan, the only circumstance in which your price will change is with a change in law or regulatory charges. This means that if the law requires Texas REPs to pass on a charge, or your TDSP needs the REPs in their service area to pass on a fee to you, this charge can show up in your rate. The TDSP meter surcharge is an example of an approved regulatory charge that your local TDSP is passing on to you through your retail electric provider.
How will the AMS Technology (or "smart meters") benefit me?With the "smart meters", your local poles and wires company can have an ongoing picture of the electric system, which will help them identify trouble spots, which helps to minimize the duration of power outages. Regardless of the location of your meter, all power outages are automatically reported to the TDSP. Also, these new meters will be able to provide detailed information on your energy consumption. You will be able to use that information to better manage your usage to save money and help the environment.
When will we have this AMS Technology (or "smart meters")?The AMS program will provide electric customers with new, technologically-advanced electric meters over a period of 4 to 5 years.
Will someone still come and read my meter once my "smart meter" is installed? Although the advanced AMS technology allows for remote meter readings, your TDSP will read installed AMS meters for 2-3 months after they are installed to ensure that the readings that are recorded remotely are the same as those recorded on site. After your TDSP is satisfied that the meters are recording correctly, the meter will no longer be read by a meter person.
What if I don't want a "smart meter"? Electricity customers in your TDSP?s service area will be receiving a "smart meter" over the next 4 to 5 years. If you have questions about the "smart meters", implementation of the Advanced Meter System program, or the pass-through fee, please contact your TDSP (CenterPoint or Oncor). You can reach Oncor at 1-800-518-2380 or CenterPoint at 1-800-332-7143.
Why am I charged the fee if I don't even have the technology yet? The monthly charge helps to cover the cost of the advanced meter, communications and support systems, low-income assistance and customer education programs associated with the initiative. If you have other questions about this pass-through fee, or about the "smart meters" and Advanced Meter System program, please contact your TDSP (CenterPoint or Oncor). You can reach Oncor at 1-800-518-2380 or CenterPoint at 1-800-332-7143.

Crikit is her name and detection is her game
RED BLUFF, Calif. - Red Bluff High School got a visit from Crikit, a 40 pound Labrador Retriever who pops in unannounced from time to time to sniff around on campus for drugs and alcohol.
Crikit is part of the Interquest Detection Canines and has been sniffing out illegal substances for about five years.
Crikit visits different campuses throughout Northern California, and unlike law enforcement dogs who can only recognize four different odors, Crikit can recognize 13.
Red Bluff High school brought her in last year and Dean of Students John Schwabauer said it's an asset for the school.
"To deter kids from bringing stuff that they don't need to bring on campus and the other is to identify these kids that may need some special help," said Schwabauer.
Schwabauer said if something is found, action is quickly taken.
"If we find out they have an ongoing problem and then we will refer them to our counseling department who will look for other services," said Schwabauer.
Crikit shows up unannounced and a classroom is chosen randomly by pulling numbers out of a jar to keep the visits random.
Then Crikit goes to the classrooms, students are asked to go outside while she goes from row to row sniffing backpacks and purses.
Once Crikit is done in the classroom she moves on to the bathroom.
The school said having Crikit on campus is working and students like her presence.
"Most students do not want those types of things on campus and so they are very supportive of it," said Schwabauer.
Red Bluff High School said they will have statistics about Crikit's discoveries at the end of the school year and will compare them to previous years to see if they can identify any trends.

I have fished Island Park Reservoir for 40 years.It used to be better than Henrys Lake.The Last 25 years have been terrible.What is wrong with this Reservoir.I have talked to people who wont go back their because the fishing stinks.Have you guys done any studies on this problem?
Thanks for your interest in fishing Island Park Reservoir. We recognize that the fishing quality on that reservoir (like many others) fluctuates from year to year, and have been working to stabilize and improve the fishing up there. Many factors play a role in fishing success, including stocking, wild production, environmental, weather, storage level, etc., and can be difficult to control. One major change we've implemented is a shift in stocking fingerling trout (about 3" in length) to stocking advanced fingerlings that range up to about 6" in length. We believe that has contributed to better fishing in recent years, as evident in our most recent creel survey data (2013). Angler catch rates in 2013 were higher than they have been since the mid-1980's, and many anglers reported good fishing. Reports from this year have been mixed, with some anglers reporting good fishing, but others struggling to catch fish. My personal succes this year has been well below what I caught last year. In short, Island Park is operated as an irrigation storage reservoir, and will fluctuate often and substantially to meet downstream demands. This, in combination with the factors listed above, will continue to make managing for a quality, consistent fishery in Island Park a challenge.

The Army's on a crash course to get its futuristic information network available down to the lowest possible levels, says its deputy leader, a move that will provide soldiers with a "tremendous advantage that we've never had before."
Speaking at the Brookings Institution in Washington D.C., Gen. Peter Chiarelli hailed the initial development of the Army's Common Operating Environment as a potential gamechanger for the nation's ground forces. Its proliferation will pave the way for soldiers to one day get equipped with smartphones, each linked in to access information from across a warzone or back home. It may take years to get networked phones to soldiers, but the Army's trying to push its networks out to the "squad and team level."
"It's taken us way too long to get the network out to the soldiers," Chiarelli said, lamenting the relative ease with which insurgents in Iraq and Afghanistan have been able to communicate and push out their message.
Enter the Common Operating Environment. Unveiled in October, it's a series of standards by which software developers can design applications that tap into the Army's data systems, known collectively as its Enterprise Network. Whether that developer is a soldier or works for a defense company, the Common Operating Environment is supposed to guide development of different communications tools, whether they're radios or smartphones or applications for the phones.
That builds on last year's big "Apps for the Army" contest — a proving ground to determine whether the Army community has enough developers who can design applications, says Lt. Col. Gregory Motes, head of a new group called the Mobile Applications Branch at Fort Gordon. Nearly 150 participated in the months-long challenge to build apps relevant to the Army; Motes and Capt. Chris Braunstein designed one that digitizes the Army's physical-training standards.
As the Common Operating Environment matures, more sophisticated applications can be written and more equipment can be linked in to the Enterprise Network. Chiarelli said testing is still ongoing: in "June and July" he'll observe a test of Rifleman Radio, a network-compliant radio system built by General Dynamics that allows squad and team leaders to get GPS coordinates on exactly where their soldiers are.
The Common Operating Environment is designed to be agnostic to any particular platform, instead elaborating the technical requirements that apps have to meet. Its goal is interoperability, in its founding document's words, so data is "available anywhere on the network to authorized users from any suitable Army-managed device."
"I'm not into any particular smartphone," Chiarelli tells Danger Room,"I just happen to carry an iPhone for my own personal use…. We can already see the benefit for the squad and team leader." That is, the rapid availability of data from across the Army, all over the world, into a soldier's mobile device — from intelligence reports to drone video to local-language phrasebooks — if the bandwidth is available.
Those are questions that Motes' team at the Army's Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) are still studying. Is there enough bandwidth when soldiers are out in the middle of nowhere for accessing the networks? (Darpa's trying to solve that problem.) What's the best operating system for soldier smartphones and app generation? Should there be a particular phone issued, or is it better to issue requirements for operating across the Common Operating Environment and leave it for the market to sort out and update for soldiers to buy?
Troops at Fort Bliss have been experimenting with smartphones in a simulated war environment for the past year. Mike McCarthy, a civilian out at Bliss with the Brigade Modernization Command and one of the officials in charge of exploring smartphone use, tells Danger Room that a consensus exists within his TRADOC group that the time has come to equip soldiers with the phones, and expects the Army to make a top level decision on issuance this year. If the Army decides to go the smartphone route, it'll still take years to get Common Operating Environment-compliant phones, hooked into to the Army Enterprise Network, out to soldiers.
But it's the environment that standardizes app development and paves the way. Asked by Danger Room if troops could have their phones before the U.S. leaves Afghanistan, Chiarelli says, "I see that happening very, very soon."

Kid owns teacher in front of the class
A Kevin Beane look alike.
Teacher is probably a fat, lazy, tenured, comatose loser who's just cashing a check ---> and waiting for the good ol' pension days to arrive.
With that as my premise, I salute this lad for going yard on her.
And she took it. haha
I'm sure buckeye has never had a kid own him like this.
Most teachers in this country do a fine job, but there are those, like this "teacher" that obviously don't care.
I'm sure administration didn't take the kid's statements too seriously, either, which is a shame.
Here is it.

More Than $3 Million Spent In Three Weeks On Wisconsin-Related Ads
May 25, 2011
WASHINGTON -- Labor unions and progressive groups, business lobbies and conservative outlets spent more than $3 million in television ads in state during the course of the Wisconsin budget fight, an analysis of expenditures that was commissioned by The Huffington Post shows.
That amounts to more than $1 million per week of the budget battle, hardly chump change and a reflection of the growth of major spending on legislative battles, even those based in the states, by politically-oriented institutions.
All told, those groups opposed to Gov. Scott Walker's controversial budget-repair bill spent $1,663,630 on television advertisements that aired in Wisconsin, according to Evan Tracey, president of the Campaign Media Analysis Group. Those supportive of the budget spent $1,535,770.
Those totals don't include spending on ads being run nationally by conservative groups like Crossroads GPS, or ads that have just been put up, such as those by the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee.
"Certainly it is at the higher end of the historical spectrum," Tracey said. "In this one, all eyes were on Wisconsin and it raised the stakes beyond just that state. Spending this kind of money is not done just for the press to absorb ... they are out there to persuade public opinion. These are real buys."
The most telling aspect of the ad purchases may be the sequence rather than the magnitude. Labor groups, as Tracey posited, moved quickly to set the narrative around Walker's anti-collective bargaining bill, which passed into law only after being stripped from the rest of the budget. And by doing so, they were able to motivate both within and beyond Wisconsin.
By contrast, the conservative ads were more responsive and less coordinated. Absent Walker's procedural moves, it's not clear if they would have been all that effective.
As one GOP operative told The Huffington Post, before the collective bargaining measure actually passed: "Labor jumped on a great opportunity and kicked our asses."
With lessons learned, the template seems to have been set for budget fights elsewhere. Tracey cited debates over New York senior citizen centers and money for California cops and prison guards as potential upcoming flashpoints.
Wisconsin Republican Gov. Scott Walker's bill to end collective bargaining for public employees passed the state senate on Wednesday. In reaction, Wisconsin high school students are planning a nationwide walkout in order to send a unified message in support of public education.
A Facebook event labeled Nationwide Student Walkout already has more than 5,000 people "attending." The group asks for the nationwide walkout to happen this Friday, March 11, 2011 at 2:00 p.m. local time.
Read more here.
AP reports:
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker says he is certain support will grow for the new law that eliminates nearly all collective bargaining rights for public employees.
The governor signed the measure Friday. In an interview with The Associated Press, he said he has "no doubt" that support will build as the government becomes more efficient. He said public employees would still have civil-service protections.
Walker spoke about the law even as dozens of protesters shouted outside his Capitol office in opposition to it. The proposal passed the state senate and Assembly earlier this week.
More here.
HuffPost's Sam Stein reports:
Less than two days after Wisconsin Senate Republicans took to seedy if not crafty parliamentary maneuvers to pass an anti-collective bargaining bill, the Democratic party is up with ads targeting individual members.
The Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee released an ad on Friday attacking Sen. Luther Olsen (R-Wis.) for being a doormat in Gov. Scott Walker's effort to get his budget-related measure passed into law.
"We expect pins to get bowled over," the spot goes. "Pies to get rolled. But we certainly don't expect our senators to get flattened. Last month, Senator Olsen said eliminating collective bargaining is, quote, 'pretty radical.'
Read the rest here.
HuffPost's Amanda Terkel reports:
Far away from the large protests at the Wisconsin statehouse, a group of about 60 people -- students, teachers, nurses and others -- met at 6:00 a.m. at Riverside High School in Milwaukee on Friday morning, the first step in their march all the way to Madison (approximately 80 miles).
The walk will take three days, ending at 2:00 p.m. on Sunday in Madison. Today, the group is walking about 12 or 13 hours. Tomorrow will be eight hours, and Sunday will be six hours. While some people are going to be making the full trek, others will be joining and leaving along the way.
The Huffington Post spoke with Christopher Fons, a public school teacher who came up with the idea for the march, at noon CT. Fons is part of the group People Organizing Wisconsin for Education and Workers Rights (POWER). They had already walked approximately 20 miles and were excited that it was a "balmy" 35 degrees.
Fons first conceived of the march about a week ago, when he was teaching his U.S. history class about Cesar Chavez and the National Farm Workers Association. In 1965, Chavez organized a historic farmworkers march from Delano, Calif. to Sacramento -- 340 miles.
"It's about the journey," said Fons. "There's been a lot of large demonstrations in Capitol, but we just thought we should try to dramatize this in a different way. I'm in complete support of the large rallies, but I just think we need to be doing other strategies to raise consciousness."
A few stands have popped up along the march route providing coffee and other refreshments, which have, according to Fons, really helped the morale of the participants. But when The Huffington Post spoke with Fons, they were in Waukesha County, a more Republican area where he said the reception had not always been quite as friendly.
"The message is about not allowing collective bargaining to be ended and about defending public education in the state -- to try to defend this idea that we have the Wisconsin idea," said Fons. "The Wisconsin idea is an egalitarian society that has education at its center, for everybody."
Since the beginning of the controversy, teachers have been an integral part of the protests against Gov. Scott Walker's (R) budget repair bill, with many public schools shut down for days because so many teachers have gone to Madison to protest.
The Washington Post reports:
Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), a former businessman and now a freshman senator, held a conference call Thursday afternoon with a small group of bloggers. For a freshman, he's entirely fluid on the issues and easily navigates between specifics and larger themes.
I asked him about Wisconsin. Why did Gov. Scott Walker take so long to pull out the "fiscal" elements and pass the legislation without a quorum? Johnson first made clear that he and the governor believe this "is not about individual workers . . . but about rebalancing the equation" so that the taxpayers' interests are being protected. As for the long-in-coming resolution, Johnson explained that the governor wanted the collective bargaining provision and the rest of the cost-cutting measures "tied" because they were all part of the effort to close the state's budget deficit. But it became evident the Democrats weren't budging. He said that one Democratic senator even requested an absentee ballot for the spring election. At that point Walker moved forward on the bill.

MILWAUKEE -- Rev. Jesse Jackson spoke to a crowd of demonstrators in Milwaukee Thursday evening, laying out a strategy to oppose the anti-union rights legislation that state lawmakers passed hours earlier.
He focused on the upcoming State Supreme Court election, urging voters to choose a justice who would protect workers' rights to collectively bargain. Speaking to a crowd that included teachers and public school students, Jackson said Milwaukee has become as important a battleground as Madison.
"All eyes are on Milwaukee," he said from the steps of Milwaukee County Courthouse, as the crowd cheered. "The cameras are in Madison, the votes are in Milwaukee."
The election on April 5 could swing the ideological leaning of the seven-justice State Supreme Court. Justice David Prosser, one of the four-justice unofficial conservative majority, sees his term expire this year. His opponent, Assistant State Attorney General JoAnne Kloppenburg, would likely break that majority. If a legal challenge to the new legislation arrives before the Supreme Court, that shift of power could be crucial.
"We're gonna see the same crowds in Milwaukee that we see in Madison," declared Rev. Willie Brisco, president of Milwaukee Innercity Congregations Allied for Hope, which sponsored the rally. "This is just the beginning."
Jackson, a longtime advocate for worker's rights, had been in Madison earlier that day. He arrived at the Courthouse in Milwaukee two hours after the rally began, wearing a black hat and overcoat, while the crowd chanted, "Jesse, Jesse!" After climbing the courthouse steps and taking the microphone, he compared the current political struggle to the demonstrations that preceded the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
"This is what democracy looks like," he said.
Jackson spoke in support of teachers, who would lose collective bargaining rights if the bill is ratified. The teachers -- and students -- in the audience roared their appreciation.
One student, Carlo Goodger, a 12-year-old 7th grader in the Milwaukee Public School system, had addressed the crowd minutes before Jackson arrived.
"We're proud to be from MPS," Goodger said, as demonstrators exploded into cheers. "We don't like what Scott Walker is doing to us."
If the bill becomes law, class sizes could expand. Teachers could face wage cuts or layoffs.
Goodger, whose mother is a teacher at his school, and whose mother's parents were also teachers, granted HuffPost an interview after his speech.
"Not only do I know how it will feel for my mom, but I know how it will feel for me, also," he said. "I'm gonna make a change as much as I can."
"I grew up a Milwaukee public student, and I'm gonna die a Milwaukee public student."
His mother, Lucia Medico, 35, who teaches special education, said the teacher's union, Milwaukee Teachers' Education Association, has encouraged members to be "more passive" in their response to the bill, and to "wait it out."
"But we as teachers want to make an impact," she said. "Waiting it out has brought this."
Teachers at the rally said they hoped to bring the energy of Madison to Milwaukee, and to encourage more people to support their cause. But they found themselves in the awkward position of not wanting to stick their necks out too far, for fear that they could face consequences, especially if they lose union rights. Tricia Ward, 35, who teaches special education, requested that the name of her school be withheld.
"That's how scared everyone is," she said. "When this collective bargaining ends, they can do whatever they want."
WATCH Rev. Jackson's speech below (credit to Dr. Todd Alan Price, of National-Louis University):
The Daily Caller reports on Jesse Jackson's statements on the Wisconsin anti-union bill's passage:
"More health care for more Americans is not as hurtful as less education and less health care and fewer jobs," Jackson said. "Maybe what you see here is the rise of hurt and people are acting out their democratic rights and sharing their pain. And they want to be heard and I feel that when they're steamrolled as they were in the Assembly and as they are in the Senate, people are going to fight back against the governor hears them and engages in democracy and not ramrod democracy. It simply will not work whether Cairo or Madison, it will not work."
Jackson said pro-union legislators were denied the ability to vote on the issue and forecasted a "rebellion" to come within the next month.

Wisconsin Democratic Party Chair Mike Tate has issued the following statement on the anti-union bill's passage:
"It is a shameful day for Wisconsin. Ultimately, our working families will have their day and Scott Walker's victory will ring as hollow as his pledges to their well-being. Today, the Koch Brothers can pop some champagne. But know that our total focus now is on recall."
The Wisconsin State Capitol will close at 6 p.m. CST today, WKOW.com reported on Twitter.
Wisconsin municipalities are already mounting legal challenges against the controversial anti-union bill that passed first in the state Senate and now in the Assembly.
Madison Mayor Dave Cieslewicz asserted on his blog that the bill's passage violates the state's open meetings law and has engaged City Attorney Mike May:
I've asked Mike to join any action he deems appropriate in the courts this morning to reverse the Senate's illegal action.
To quote Mike's email to alders and I this morning:
"The Office of the City Attorney (in compliance with State law) insists on 24 hours notice for any meeting, or adding any matter to an agenda, unless there is no way that 24 hours notice could have been given. Mere convenience or inadvertence is insufficient to meet the less than 24-hour notice. This is necessary to be in compliance with the Open Meetings Law. It is an essential element of government in Wisconsin.
"Today's action does not meet that test. It does not comply with Wisconsin Law.
"The action taken today will be struck down if challenged in court."
Meanwhile, Dane County has also begun taking action, reports Madison's WKOW.com:
Dane County Executive Kathleen Falk and County Board Chair Scott McDonell have directed Dane County attorneys to pursue legal action related to state Senate Republicans passing the budget repair bill without Democrats present.

HuffPost's Amanda Terkel reports:
Dealt a major setback Wednesday night in a high-stakes battle over union rights in Wisconsin, labor leaders nevertheless insisted that they would emerge from the three-week long saga energized and eager to continue fighting.
Hours after Gov. Scott Walker (R-Wis.) and his Republican allies in the state Senate took nearly everyone by surprise and pushed through a stand-alone bill stripping public employees of their collective bargaining rights, labor officials pledged to ramp up efforts to recall Republicans and challenge the legislation in court.
Only shortly before the vote took place, local news outlets reported that Republicans were splitting Walker's budget repair bill into two. While the Senate requires a quorum of 3/5 of its members to vote on fiscal statutes, just a majority is needed for other matters. Therefore, Senate Republicans broke off the most controversial portions -- including a proposal to strip away the collective bargaining rights of public employees -- into a separate piece of legislation that could be passed without Senate Democrats, who were still out of state.

The LA Times reports that Freshman Representative Sean Duffy, who has largely kept his distance from the controversy over Walker's anti-union bill, will appear with the Wisconsin governor this weekend:
Duffy's spokesman, Daniel Son, confirmed Thursday that the congressman would attend the Lincoln Day Dinner at the invitation of the Ashland County Republican Party, and Ashland's Daily Press reports that Walker is also slated to attend the event.
"That's quite a coup to have the governor and congressman come up to northern Wisconsin and talk to people," Frank Kostka, chairman of the Bayfield County GOP, told the Daily Press. "We'd be even more excited if we didn't have this controversy to deal with."

HuffPost's Mark Blumenthal reports:
The poll released this past weekend by a conservative Wisconsin think tank did more than indicate a preference for compromise among Wisconsin adults. It also includes evidence that the enthusiasm gap favoring Republicans in Wisconsin in 2010 has vanished.
The survey of 603 adults, conducted by the Wisconsin Policy Research Institute (WPRI) between Feb. 27 and March 1, included a question asking respondents whether they are likely to vote in the 2012 elections. Poll respondents typically overstate their true voting intentions on these sorts of questions, and the WPRI survey is no exception: Nearly four out of five respondents (79 percent) said they are "almost certain to vote," while another 8 percent said they will "probably vote," even though the actual turnout among eligible adults in 2008 was 72.1 percent. Nevertheless, these responses provide a crude indicator of intentions, as those who say they intend to vote are more likely to turn out.

HuffPost's Sam Stein reports:
The chaos that accompanied Wednesday night's abrupt passage of Gov. Scott Walker's (R-Wis.) controversial anti-collective bargaining legislation gave way on Thursday to a series of strategy sessions by aggrieved parties plotting out a response.
A cadre of labor groups, progressive institutions, and campaign arms began informally coordinating a comprehensive pushback that some described as even more critical than the legislative battle itself. The most dramatic of these moves is acceleration of a campaign to recall Wisconsin Republican state senators who ended up backing not only the collective bargaining bill but also the backdoor parliamentary maneuvers used to pass it.
Union officials and progressive activists on the ground in Wisconsin say that six specific lawmakers have been targeted for recall (before Wednesday night that number had been eight). Of those, three were considered top tier "gets:" Sen. Randy Hopper (District 18) who won his last election by 184 votes, Sen. Alberta Darling (District 8) who won her last election with 51 percent of the vote, and Sen. Dan Kapanke (District 32) who also won his last election with 51 percent of the vote, in a district where President Obama won 61 percent of the vote in 2008. The other three lawmakers on the list were Sen. Robert Cowles (District 2), Sheila Harsdorf (District 10), and Luther Olsen (District 14).

The president of the largest federation of unions in America had some surprising words for Wisconsin's governor, "The Atlantic" reports:
AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka has two words for Scott Walker: "Thank You."
The Wisconsin governor's plan to restrict collective-bargaining rights for government employees, which unexpectedly passed Wednesday night in the state Senate, has energized the labor movement in a way not seen in a generation, Trumka said.
"We probably should have invited him today to receive the Mobilizer of the Year award," Trumka said.

The AP reports that the Wisconsin Justice Department is investigating threatening emails sent to GOP state senators:
Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald says all threatening messages have been forwarded to Capitol police.
The majority leader's spokesman, Andrew Welhouse, says the address of the person who sent one of the threatening e-mails was apparent, but police told him not to disclose it.
The e-mail said Fitzgerald and his "Republican dictators" must die because of their actions, presumably referring to GOP senators passing a bill removing most public employees' collective bargaining rights.
Full story here.
On Thursday morning, the Capitol was closed for awhile, preventing protesters as well as employees who work in the statehouse from entering. The New York Times reports:
By preventing people from entering the capitol building Thursday morning, the police also denied entry to legislators, including at least two Democratic Assembly members — David Cullen and Elizabeth Coggs.
Mr. Cullen was turned away even after displaying his Assembly identification.
Asked why the officers did not allow him inside, Mr. Cullen said: "I don't know. And they won't answer why."
Later, Mr. Cullen and Ms. Coggs could be seen climbing into the building through a first-floor window.
The police said hundreds of people had entered the building overnight and that for the moment, no one would be allowed to enter or leave the building
University of Wisconsin-Madison student journalist Talya Minsberg was at the Capitol Thursday morning, where a large crowd gathered early on. Minsberg told The Huffington Post that there were hundreds of high school students, and a Madison West student said that "almost the whole school walked out."

(in part)
The history of the Bank of England and how it was taken over by one powerful family hundreds of years ago.
Up until 1946 when it was nationalised the Bank of England was a private run bank that lent money it created out of nothing to the English government and was paid back with interest.
A very famous story relates to the Bank of England and the infamous Rothschilds, that all powerful banking family. This story was re-told recently in a BBC documentary about the creation of money and the Bank of England.
It revolves around the Battle of Waterloo in which Nathan Rothschild used his inside knowledge of the outcome and his faster horses and couriers to play the market by getting the result of the battle before anyone else knew the outcome.
He quickly sold his English bonds and gave all the traders who looked to him for guidance the impression that the French had won at Waterloo.
The other traders all rushed to sell their bonds before the market crashed thinking that they were now worthless and a massive fire-sale occurred as brokers clamered to get rid of their stock. This massive sell off quickly drove the price of the bonds down to 5% of their original worth.
Once the bottom had dropped out the market Nathan Rothschild then re-bought as many bonds back as he could at hugely discounted prices and in doing so he multiplied his wealth twenty times in 3 days of trading.
At the same time as becoming immensely wealthy he also became the single largest debtor to the English government which ultimately gave him control over the bank of England.
English bonds were a debt guaranteed by future tax revenue of the English government, therefore the taxes the citizens paid were going to pay the 8% interest that the English government had to pay to borrow the money.
As Nathan Rothschild now controlled the majority of the English bonds he could determine the price and therefore the supply of the English currency which gave him great power over the countries finances. As he famously said afterwards.
"I care not what puppet is placed on the throne of England to rule the Empire. The man who controls Britain's money supply controls the British Empire and I control the British money supply." - Nathan Rothschild
Privatisation of the bank continued for years until the bank of England was nationalised after the war in 1946.

Winners and Losers in the Happiness Stakes

The fascinating new book by Richard Layard, the British economist, argues that we should make happiness, not growth, the object of our economic policies. At first sight, there is not a lot of difference - the countries with the highest productivity are also the happiest. But on closer inspection, there are interesting differences.

The year kicked off with a big conference in the United States on the subject, then Professor Richard Layard, LSE, published a book on it and now the government is getting into it. Professor Layard thinks happiness should become the biggest goal for the government. He suggests things such as compulsory parenting classes and lessons in emotional intelligence from the age of five onwards.

Richard Layard, LSE, in Happiness: lessons from a new science, calls for no less than a revolution at academic, governmental and individual levels, as well as greater altruism and compassion in society at large.

In his new book Happiness, Richard Layard, who advised the Labour Party on unemployment issues from 1997 to 2001 and who is founder of the Centre for Economic Performance at LSE, urges the government to monitor our happiness as closely as it monitors gross domestic product. Only by doing this, he says, can the government produce sound economic and social policies which will make for a happy and healthy society.

Letters To The Editor: Consumption is no friend of happiness
(08 Dec 2004)
By Carolyn Hayman
Anyone familiar with Richard Layard's excellent London School of Economics lectures on happiness will know that we hyperconsumers are being sold a false prospectus.
Consumption does not lead to happiness, which rests on such mundane things as relationships, health and personal fulfilment. But unlike Mr Tomkins, I am not convinced that hyperconsumption will catch on.

How-To Geek
Keystroke Logger
A keystroke logger is a software or hardware tool that captures every key pressed on a computer's keyboard. Keystroke loggers can take the form of a physical device attached to a computer–often a small extension to the keyboard cable itself–that is undetectable by the host computer (and usually only discovered if the computer user or a member of the IT department notices it). More commonly, however, keystroke loggers are software-based.
Although the public perception is that keystroke loggers are used primarily by hackers to gather logins and passwords, on a per-computer basis they're more commonly used by large companies that wish to monitor employee activities on company owned computers.

Cellar Door
Valley of debt
CLARE Valleys Leasingham winery a producer of stunning riesling will close in a few weeks because no one wants to buy it. Several key Leasingham vineyards are for sale.
A few weeks ago, Tim Adams paid a (comparatively) measly $850,000 for the 75-hectare Rogers vineyard.
The Leasingham brand will continue, but owner Constellation Wines is selling 23 vineyards and three wineries to help reduce its debt and an oversupply of grapes.
The 72-hectare Schobers vineyard is about to be sold, while the 48-hectare Dunns vineyard remains for sale, as will the winery after it closes on August 28.

THE late, great surgeon and writer Dr Max Lake, who set up Lakes Folly winery in the Hunter Valley, was also an avid wine collector.

But be quick: the sale ends today at 6pm. For details, see langtons.com.au.

The local government chief executives of tomorrow will not be public managers but political negotiators, relationship brokers and high calibre leaders working across the public and private sectors, according to council chiefs.
Addressing the Local Government Association conference in Manchester this week, Helen Bailey, chief operating officer of the Mayor's Office for Policing and Crime and a former council chief, said the top job in local government was now "more demanding of those crucial leadership skills than it ever has been before".
She said chief executives were now expected to be "leaders in a world that needs [leadership] more but values it less than it has in my lifetime, creative when there isn't time to think about what you're doing and a manager of politicians which certainly isn't getting any easier".
Sean Harriss, chief executive of Bolton council, said he was now expected to do three different jobs: the traditional job as the head of a large and complex organisation; the new job of influencing local businesses and organisations; and taking on a new role as a regional leader.
"We have moved from what I would describe as the old role to a new one," he said. "It's even more difficult to manage in times of austerity, making difficult decisions … The best local authority chief executives end up creating an environment where the local authority helps knit together and create a virtual management team out of the different parties in the public and private sector, so that it works together to deliver for the public."
But Jane Scott, leader of Wiltshire council, which has deleted the job of chief executive, argued the role could no longer be distinguished from political leadership.
"I believe that councils are politically led: they are political organisations. The politician should be the person who leads; the officers should deliver what the politicians want. Partners will deal with me because they know I can deliver. Officers can't always deliver because they have to come back to the politicians. Often my decision making is swifter," she said.

Yowza Fitness Warranty and Repair Issues Ft. Myers Florida

Repair and Warranty problems
I own a Yowza Keewadin treadmill for less than 2 years since I bought it back August,2011. The unit is fine until you get problems and more problems on the procedures for Yowza to service the unit. My treadmill's walking deck is slippy and I did adjust it based on Yowza tech service online but that still did not resolve the problem. They wanted me to upload and video tape it but it is difficult to show that. I did do this but they still did not honor the service. I ended up spending $120 for a certified Yowza tech here to check it out. He tells me that it needs a new deck and walking belt because it is worn down. I contacted the Yowza service via email just to find out my warranty does not cover it because they claim this is normal wear and tear? I picked up my manual and did not see any quotes of exclusion about wear and tear for anyone who owns this unit. [continued below]....
lifetime on frame and drive motor
5 years on electronic parts
5 years on deck, walking belt and rollers (Which the technian state was my problem on the unit)
and 2 years in home labor (Which also should be covered)
They would not honor the warranty and I have to spend both parts and labor. If this is how you treat customers who spend $1699 plus $249 for an extended warranty I would not bother buying this unit.

#1 UPDATE Employee
Treadmill Support
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, June 12, 2013POSTED: Wednesday, June 12, 2013
The customer who created this report contacted Yowza Fitness Support initially about a loose running belt. Running belt maintenance is considered a user's responsibilty as outlined in the owner's manual. When this customer contacted support about this issue, we did ask if he would send us a video. The intent was to make sure there was nothing else wrong with his treadmill, something that would be covered by his warranty, so that we could resolve the issue for him at no cost. In the end the video, as mentioned in the initial report, showed nothing and was inconclusive. We could not even ascertain that the belt was in fact slipping in the video.
We gave step by step guidance on how to porperly tension the running belt. The customer did not feel comfortable doing this. On his own accord he payed to have a service technician come out and tension the running belt for him over the weekend. During this visit it was determined that the running belt and running deck have been worn which is resulting in the slipping. Before this information was provided to Yowza Fitness, this report was created. These parts are covered by his warranty and will be replaced under his warranty at no cost to the customer. Additionally, since the tech visit was a result of warranty covered parts wearing out he will be reimbursed for the cost of the tech visit.
We take the satisfaction of each customer extremely seriously. Even in a scenario such as this, if we had been informed of the tech's findings prior to this report being created, a resolution to the customer's satisfaction would have been reached. We offer one of the industries best warranties and stand behind the warraty 100%.

Yowza Keewadin treadmill service resolve
SUBMITTED: Monday, June 10, 2013POSTED: Monday, June 10, 2013
Hello again,
This is in reference of resolution from Yowza fitness for the Keewadin Treadmill complaint I made earlier. Ash Hall did call me back personally to take care of this situation and give me new parts since I had a preimer 5 year service plan I purchase since that is covered under wear and tear. I just want to take back and apologize to Yowza now on the attention I got on my treadmill. This is a resolution response of satisfaction on both our ends of the situation.

New Delhi, Mar 30: No alliance will get a majority in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections even though BJP-led NDA would emerge as the largest alliance pocketing 233 seats, a latest opinion poll has predicted.
He got 54 per cent in the fresh survey conducted this month, which is three per cent less he had netted in February this year, said a release issued by ABP news channel.
Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi's popularity among people remains constant for he has been voted as the second choice for prime minister with 18 per cent while AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal bagged only three per cent.
The ABP News-Nielsen survey predicts that the UPA will get 119 seats as compared to 92 seats in opinion poll conducted in February 2014. Out of this, the Congress was likely to get 91 seats and AAP is expected to get around four seats in the 543-member Lok Sabha.
The BJP is expected to do well in North, East and western part of the country except for the South where the Congress will have an upper edge. The poll findings suggest that the BJP may get 81 seats in the North while the Congress' share will shrink to 21. The BSP would get 17 and Samajwadi Party around 12 seats.
Similarly in the East, the BJP was likely to get around 36 seats, West Bengal ruling party Trinamool Congress would bag around 28 seats while Odisha ruling party BJD was likely to get 17 seats with the Congress expected to get around 19 seats.
The Congress is to lead with 31 seats with AIADMK likely to get 21 seats in South India.

Why I buy from a reputable dealer
I purchased a Dynavin DC99+, HVAC relocation bracket, and back up camera from J&T Distributing for my e46. The radio worked great for about 2 weeks then the backup camera went dark. I called them and after a short conversation confirming my troubleshooting skills they dropped a new camera in the mail. The camera arrived yesterday and I popped it in place this morning. Everything works great once again. Thanks guys for the great customer service!
Jeff Knutter
Agreed - a real dealer is the way to go
I agree with jknutter. It is a big purchase and it may cost a little more then getting it off of ebay, but the piece of mind is well worth it. I've already sent a few questions Jeff's way since getting my unit and he's been very helpful in getting things sorted.
+1. Jeff sorted my issue as well. Don't go cheap.
