Rob Hayles catapulted across our Olympic consciousness at the end of a harum scarum event called the Madison. Think of Beijing High Street, then translate it to the cycling track, then fast forward the speeds to 50mph and you have an approximation of the Madison, a chaotic, quixotic and utterly thrilling hour's action which involves 14 riders hurtling round a velodrome at impossible speeds while, every other lap or so, their team partners descend like Stukas from the banking to be hurled manually into the fray. Each changeover is as complex as the baton change in a sprint relay and there is an etiquette in the transfer that we will come to later.
Rob Hayles catapulted across our Olympic consciousness at the end of a harum scarum event called the Madison. Think of Beijing High Street, then translate it to the cycling track, then fast forward the speeds to 50mph and you have an approximation of the Madison, a chaotic, quixotic and utterly thrilling hour's action which involves 14 riders hurtling round a velodrome at impossible speeds while, every other lap or so, their team partners descend like Stukas from the banking to be hurled manually into the fray. Each changeover is as complex as the baton change in a sprint relay and there is an etiquette in the transfer that we will come to later.
Only a particular sort of mind enjoys the Madison, the same sort that would relish bungee-jumping into the Grand Canyon. Madison riders are regarded as mad by road-racers, who themselves barely register on the normal scale of sanity. But Hayles can recall one particular moment of the race. "I'd just pulled up the banking at the end of my stint when I saw the Spanish world champion was clinging to our wheel and I thought: 'yes, we're doing some kicking here, this is brilliant'."
It is a source of wry amusement to a rider as laidback as Hayles that, after 12 years of relative obscurity, the one image which has propelled him if not to fame or fortune then at least to vague recognition is one without his bike. At the time, that was in the middle of the track, a twisted wreck, which looked sure to be the fate of the rider too as he spun crazily down the inner lane of the Dunc Gray Velodrome and a host of BBC viewers winced in their armchairs at the force of the crash. The video will doubtless be replayed at the Sports Personality of the Year awards at the end of the year and it will still make the eyes narrow and the mouth pucker in shock.
Three weeks on, as the newly fêted British cycling squad prepare for an encore at the world track championships in Manchester this week and Hayles himself contemplates a new future as David Millar's henchman in the French-based Cofidis team, Hayles can summon the sequence of events with the clarity of photographic freeze frames. It was inside the last kilometre of the race when speeds were high, heads were down and the British team of Hayles and Bradley Wiggins were in silver medal position.
All Hayles could see was the back wheel of the Spanish rider and he was instinctively following the movement. Coming off the bend in the back straight, the Austrian team in front of them went for a change, which traditionally means the riders behind pull out to avoid the replaced rider, who drifts to the inside of the track. But, inside the last kilometre of the Madison, etiquette becomes an optional extra. Left with the narrowest of gaps, the Spaniard dived down the inside with Hayles in split-second pursuit. The impact launched him into a body slam that even his father, who wrestled for 30 years under the pseudonym John "Killer" Kowalski, could barely have experienced. By rights, his next logical thought should have been: "Am I dead?" Actually, it was: "Shit, we've just lost silver."
"Heidi, the team physio, was holding my head and I was saying to her, 'Heidi, you don't want to know what's going through my head right now'. She asked if anything was broken, but I didn't care. We'd contributed so much to that race, chasing down the Swiss and working on the front and we'd got nothing from it. That's what hurt the most." Nor was that quite the end of it. In a cameo of Hayles' 2000 Olympic experience, the Australians eased up over the last lap, the gold medal won, and allowed the Italian team to pip them on the line for the last points which eased Hayles and Wiggins out of the bronze medal position. "I saw Brad McGee, one of the Australians yesterday, and told him," Hayles says. "He was gutted.''
Hayles is still not sure whether those who congratulate him on his bronze are more in tune with his mental state than those who shake their heads and say: "Unlucky". His recent engagement, to Vicky Horner, an Olympic swimmer, further stirs the emotional backwash; some of the congratulations have nothing to do with cycling.
Hayles came back from Sydney with a bronze in the team pursuit - and there is a story attached to that too - which was more than he had anticipated and very much less than he deserved. Had his saddle not slipped in the semi-final of the individual pursuit, had he not crashed in the Madison, had the Australians not celebrated prematurely, had he been allowed to ride the points race, had he found one last ounce of energy to claim the bronze he lost by a click of the fingers in the individual pursuit? "The whole thing was a rollercoaster ride," he says before apologising, "I know that sounds corny, but I can't think of any other way of describing those 10 days in Sydney."
The bare facts are that the British team returned with a gold for Jason Queally in the kilo, a silver for the Olympic sprint team and bronzes in the team pursuit and for Yvonne McGregor in the individual pursuit. But it was the overall level of competitiveness which had rivals scurrying to the team's trackside enclosure in bewilderment. This was not a young team, yet suddenly they were at the races every day, and, at the age of 27, Hayles was the revelation, the man whose ride on the opening night proved the inspiration for Queally's gold and by a strange sort of osmosis for the rest of the British Olympic team.
"Yeah, Jason was in a shocking state," Hayles recalls. "He had the cleats off his shoes and was adjusting his pedals and I was watching and thinking, 'Jason, man, what are you doing?' This was two hours before his race. He was in pieces. But I went out and by the time I'd come back, I was still qualifying in first place and Jason had a big grin on his face. He felt the pressure was off him a bit and it had geed him up. If I could do it, he could."
Initially, Hayles was not scheduled to be part of the pursuit team, but so sharp was his form that the selectors changed the team for the semi-final, which Britain lost to a world record ride by the unheralded Ukrainians. Back in the original formation, without Hayles, the team won bronze, but it was not until Steve Paulding, one of the coaches, pointed out their own rules to Olympic officials that Hayles and Jon Clay were awarded their bronze medals at a special presentation ceremony conducted by Princess Anne at Darling Harbour. "It was actually better than the real ceremony," Hayles laughs.
Now, Hayles is moving on, to join the growing ranks of British riders in the peloton, forsaking his neat Stockport home for the chaos of Millar's flat in Biarritz and the suitcase life of a real pro.
The graduation has taken time, from the day he rode his first bike at the age of 11 on the estate in Cowplain, near Portsmouth, where he was brought up, through the junior ranks and, in partnership with Tony Doyle, one of the greatest of all track riders, to a professional career as a six-day track rider and a decent road-racer. At times, he has been too relaxed about life, happy to bob along without fully exploring the extent of his talent. Doyle has taught him to be more assertive and the Olympic experience, he admits, has heightened his confidence so that the peloton, the toughest of all sporting classrooms, does not seem such a forbidding place after all. He will have a decent tutor in Millar, the winner of the Tour prologue whose influence was critical to Hayles' arrival at Cofidis.
"I suppose I'm a little bit apprehensive about it," he says. "Not so much about whether I'll be able to handle the racing, more about the amount of racing they do and the general lifestyle, the language and so on. My French is not the best."
This week, he will bid farewell to the track at the world championships, though it is a source of frustration to him that he and Wiggins have been instructed not to enter the Madison. The paying public might have something forceful to say about that as well. Hayles, more than anyone, has earned the right to become a champion.Reuse content

The view is everything. The apartment is quiet and spacious, though the furniture is dated (I don't care). The bathroom shower was tiny and drained super slow, but that just encouraged water conservation because it forced me to take shorter showers. Tip-- grab morning croissants from the spot on the corner -- apparently even convenience store croissants are delicious in Paris. I liked the apartment enough to try and book it for another stay a month later, but alas, it was unavailable.
We stayed in this apartment a few years ago and enjoyed it so much that we came back. It is a wonderful apartment especially for two couples. Lots of space, two bedrooms and two baths. It is within walking distance to restaurants and of course the Eiffel Tower! We were met on time and all communications were easy. We will definitely be back. Thanks so much for a great place to stay in Paris!
Since I expressed to Madame how much my sister and I enjoyed our stay, she asked me politely to leave a review, but I couldn't. Why? Because I didn't want anyone else to find this little jewel! Selfish, I know, but what can I say? So please do not trust me...
I will start with the view which alone is worth harbouring my secret. Everyday the Eiffel Tower stepped into our living room. And the River Seine? We could have jumped onto one of the boats from our full frontage balcony! Not really, of course, but the river was there just across the two-lane avenue. And the metro? Only a short walk and stair climb away. What could be more convenient?
We were fortunate to be there during the French Open. How easy it was to go there. And shopping? Mon Dieu! All around... So too were all the major attractions throughout Paris. Even the farthest was only a train (or three) away. Sure we were west of the city...and sure we found ourselves constantly going east to see what there was to see. But it was like greeting the sun in the morning and following the moon at night. The apartment was perfect for our needs and so was the location....one of the finest in Paris.
But still, I must try to convince you not to stay in this perfect hideaway...so I shall try. The furniture could be improved, although the provincial pieces gave the apartment authenticity. (We felt immediately French!) The one latch on the living room's sliding glass door could be repaired (but a broom handle proved sufficient). The spinner dryer could be better (but who cared anyway?) The shower in the second bathroom could be larger (a good reason to diet!) And the very handsome and most charming manager? He could be less so....especially after I told him I'd heard a night mouse in the wall... What might you guess that he whisperedinto my ear? "One is never alone in Paris, no?" I could hardly contain my giggles!
So there you have it...a most untrustworthy review of a most wonderful apartment that I dream of returning to again.
My son and I brought my grandson, his nephew, for his first trip to Paris to celebrate his high school graduation in mid-June. We have been to Paris many times, but this was our first stay in an apartment. WOW!!! Once inside, the Eiffel Tower is RIGHT there, so close you feel that you could just reach out and touch it. It MADE our stay there quite special! Having breakfast on the balcony every morning and returning there every evening to see La Tour Eiffel all lit up and the remarkable white, sparkly light show every evening on the hour. We also enjoyed watching the boats go by on the Seine below us. The pictures do not do the apartment or its views justice. It set just the right tone for our celebration. Getting there was very easy from CDG--we took the RER-B to Denfert-Rocherau where we switched to the Metro Line 6 and exited at Passy where there is an escalator, then a short 5 minute walk to the apartment where Alexis was waiting. We loved the village atmosphere of Passy just up from the metro. At the rotary, there were several cafes, patisseries, and a bit further on--the grocery store, all very convenient.
Our only hiccups were that we thought there was a clothes dryer, but apparently it's a spinner which didn't completely dry our clothes; the washer worked great. I had expected a blow dryer, but there wasn't one, and my grandson thought the water spray was too hard in his shower. These problems were minuscule when measured against that amazing view, spacious balcony, large rooms, and superb location. The building was very secure and in a great location to access all that Paris has to offer. I will carry with me always the wonderful memories this apartment has afforded my family. I will stay here every time I return to Paris.
The Eiffel Tower view of this apartment on the Seine was magnificent. Five star! The apartment layout was very nice. Four star! From the beginning, our experience with the apartment manager, Alexis, was awful. He was rude and unresponsive which ended up costing us in the end. When we arrived, there were dirty towels hanging on the back of the door. We called Alexis and left a message that it was not working. He never returned our call, never fixed the problem. Our traveling companions had to reach into the toilet each time they wanted to flush the toilet. He arrived on the morning that we were leaving, went straight to the bathroom, began shouting and refused to return our substantial deposit. Eventually, we were charged for the toilet repair and the rest of our deposit was refunded. We did not break the toilet and instead were inconvenienced by it. This was our dream vacation for our 45th wedding anniversaries. Our encounter with Alexis was very much a bump in the road. This was definitely a two star experience.
Just sitting in this apartment and looking at the Eiffel Tower every night is worth the rental price!! We did Spring Break 2015 in Paris and this apartment was the perfect home base for the five of us (parents and three teen girls). Having two metro lines minutes away is reason enough to stay but the VIEW!! The apartment is spacious, well lit, clean and secure. The kitchen is well appointed and having a washing machine/spinner was very convenient. I have already recommended this apartment to friends and would definitely stay here again.

Completely fallen in love
This a wonderful site. I have been on here for a long while and up until the past few months I have been talking to my one true love. I met here on this site and well she found me. Any way I have completely fallen in love with her and I have never met her. I am currently in Afghanistan in the US Army and I will be going to see her in July. I am planning to spend the rest of my life with this woman and that is all. She is funny and witty. She always make me smile and the best part she has been in the military. Which means she understands the military and that's what I was looking for. The only reason I got on this site was to find just that and I have so thank you MSC from the bottom of my heart for helping me find my one true love and I will never forget it.
I love you Julie

I lost the only key given to me when I bought a used 1996 Olds Ninety-eight. Dealership cut two different keys...One did nothing; the other made the door alarm ding but would not start car. Dealership says the cylinder must have been changed.
Does the VIN# indictate which chip MUST be associated with whatever key is cut for a new cylinder, or must the car computer itself tell the chip what its new code should be? It would be easier for me to change the cylinder at my home if the key is cut for that cylinder with a chip pre-programmed for my car. Is that how it works or must I tow it to a dealership to have the chip programmed for the new cylinder?

It's been kind of a lousy year of air travelers, what with volcanic ash, oil spills, and even drug-related violence (at least from time to time, in both Mexico and Jamaica).
Oh, Great – It's Hurricane Season
Let's see, what have I forgotten? Oh, right – hurricane season officially began this week, and it could be a doozy. Some are even calling it a potential "Katrina year" (but take comfort – these forecasts are often totally off or just plain wrong).
Don't Forget Those Pesky Surcharges
And don't forget those pesky "peak travel day surcharges" that several airlines have slapped onto nearly every day this summer (and you can see them all on my Peak Travel Day Surcharge Chart with the airlines, dates and prices listed).
The Problems – The Strategies
So what's a traveler to do? You can still have a successful trip if you are aware of these survival strategies:
Volcanic Ash: Yes, it shut down European airspace for a time in April, but that volcano in Iceland is quiet for now – though it may not stay that way (and meanwhile, another volcano in Guatemala is creating new air travel problems). But interest in flights to Europe remains high this summer, so plenty of you are going. So what if you do run into ash clouds that ground your plane?
Survival Strategies: Let common sense prevail – probably nothing will happen, but why not be prepared?
- First, get the cheapest possible flight to Europe – which should be a no-brainer.
- Check with your airline; this week, for example, Delta Air Lines ran advisories about the ash from the Guatemala volcano and offered refunds to travelers for canceled flights, and waived "change fees" for those who wanted to make other plans.
- You may want to look into the possibility of travel insurance but read all policies thoroughly before you buy to be sure it covers what you need it to cover.
- Schedule your trip carefully; in other words, don't plan a trip to Europe (volcano or no volcano) in which you return a day or two before a big event, such as an important meeting or a child's first day of school. Flights can be delayed for many reasons, any time of year.
Oil Spills: Yes, oil is still flowing in the gulf, which is starting to effect airfare prices to the region – recent data shows airfare prices trending down.
Survival Strategies: Stay on top of the news – and yes, use common sense.
- See if it makes sense for you to book a "refundable" airline ticket; it will cost more, but the peace of mind may be worth it.
- If you've already booked a hotel, talk to the management about your concerns and see what they can do for you: we are hearing about hotels offering vouchers for future stays in the event of oil-on-the-beach, and perks like free food and free rounds of golf.
Sporadic Violence: Be aware that there have been problems in the border regions of Mexico and in Kingston, Jamaica (see a full list of problematic air travel destinations here).
Survival Strategies: Stay on top of the latest news reports; don't put yourself in danger.
- Check with the U.S. State Department's website at www.Travel.State.Gov: it gives you the latest information on any sort of problem in other nations. Sign up for State Dept. email alerts which will notify you of changes in the country you want to visit.
- Problems are often away from tourists areas (for example, Jamaica's violence was in Kingston and not Montego Bay) but remember that situations can and do change without warning – and earlier this spring, Mexico saw some dangerous incidents in Acapulco.
- Check with your airline's website; it will keep you up to date on cancelations to regions in turmoil.
Peak Travel Day Surcharges: This is where you have to be crafty.
Survival Strategies: First, look at the chart showing airline peak travel day surcharges so you know what days have these surcharges and how much they'll cost you.
- First option is to avoid traveling on "surcharge dates" which pretty much means you have to shoehorn your summer vacation in after August 22.
- Otherwise, note that the cheapest surcharges ($10 each-way) are for travel on Tuesdays and Wednesdays; arrange it so those are your departure/return days – or at least one of your travel dates, so you get at least half the benefits.
Mother Nature? Always a Gamble
Remember, when it comes down to Mother Nature alone, it's always going to be something of a gamble. But, life in general can be a gamble. I mean, yes, we are indeed now in Hurricane Season, but that doesn't keep people from flying to Florida – and having a wonderful time.

Original service was estate planning. I was happy.
She purported to be experienced in landlord/tenant issues. Late at one court appearance, then disappeared to handle another case in another courtroom timed simultaneously with mine.
She's experienced in bankruptcy. To me it's like the whole "experienced with landlord/tenant." Tenant announced in court she was in bankruptcy. According to this attorney that had nothing to do with me. After checking with (and ultimately hiring another attorney) I was subject to litigation if eviction proceeded, even if I wasn't a listed creditor. She didn't know this.
Tried to file eviction papers completed by her. Sheriff's' office said they were no good as the defendant information improperly worded. Called her and she adamantly insisted that she used that wording all the time with no problem. She told me to talk to a uniformed sheriff, which I did. He told me the wording was no good. Filing delayed because a judge had to approve an amendment for the bad language in my the motion.
Another delay by the tenant who took us before the judge again for a motion to delay the eviction. This is also when the original motion she prepared had to be (because of the incorrect wording) amended. Much consternation from judge of her lack of understanding of legal language because she didn't know the words that he told her to write on the motion to make it retroactive, and because the defendant language was incorrect. Judge denied tenant's motion.
Final straw prompting this review: Sheriff couldn't proceed with eviction because paperwork for motion from the tenant had not been completed for submission to Sheriff. Finally prepared the filing and went before the judge myself. If the paperwork was going to be wrong, at least I didn't have to pay to further delay the process.
I take no joy in this. She is very nice, but if you are inexperienced in an area, you should not say otherwise. That is very dangerous and expensive when dealing with the law.
Posted by anonymous
If I could give no stars, I would. Did not file my bankruptcy on the date when she said she would, doesn't return calls, emails, texts. Not very knowledgeable whatsoever. Everytime I call, I hear screaming kids in the background. Now my bankruptcy is screwed up big time and I cannot even get her to react in a timeful manner on that either. Three weeks and counting while she ignores my calls and texts.

I first encountered a need for her services during a difficult time dealing with the illness of a family member. There was an urgent need to quickly get some estate matters under control. Attorney Reynolds' responsiveness and knowledge eased the tensions our family was experiencing.
Posted by Darryl & Family
My family and I have had the opportunity to work with Atty. Reynolds on several different occasions. She came through big time to get us to a fast and successful closing. If you are looking for a lawyer that you can trust and gets the job done, then she is the one you need. I would highly recommend her service to anyone. You can rest assure that if we make another real estate purchase in the future, we will be going back to her.
Posted by anonymous
Atty. Reynolds has been a lifesaver, I was having financial problems and decided to seek out a lawyer for further guidance. She was extremely knowledgeable and provided me with excellent legal and financial advice and always kept me informed on how my case was going. Very responsive, which can be tough to find.

Our Mission Statement
San José Unified School District's mission is to eliminate the opportunity gap and provide every student with the finest 21st century education.
Call 408-535-6671 to schedule a school tour.
Hammer Montessori is a Public Montessori Magnet School within the San Jose Unified School District. At Hammer Montessori, instruction is conducted with each individual child in mind. As a child centered/directed approach to education, the Montessori classroom is developed under the philosophy that All children are able to learn, and perhaps more importantly, all children Want to learn.
To facilitate this desire, the Hammer Montessori classroom is a prepared and ordered environment. Each classroom contains age appropriate, child sized manipulative materials to reinforce each students developing skills. Montessori Materials cover all curricular areas and all grade levels.
Under the careful guidance of our trained staff, each classroom is organized into several fundamental curricular areas. These areas include: Language Arts (literature, creative writing, grammar, spelling, sentence structure, and hand-writing); mathematics; and cultural subjects, such as geography, history, science, art, music and movement.
Students work individually and in small groups. All students are encouraged and guided to becoming self directed, self-motivated learners. Children are given the opportunity to work together, thus allowing the opportunity to learn from each other and enhancing each student's grasp of the curriculum.
The Hammer staff focuses on positive reinforcement of behavior. District and school policies are included in the Family Handbook. A copy is provided to each family at the start of the school year.

Cruising is big news in the travel industry.
The travel trade in general has done pretty well in recent tough times and, within the industry, cruising shows remarkable growth.
Recent stats released by House of Travel show that more than 48,000 Kiwis took cruise ship holidays in 2012, almost double the number that did so in 2006.
Nearly a quarter of those cruises were in the South Pacific. Just over a fifth headed for Europe, where the Mediterranean is the classic choice.
Look closer still and river cruises are the fastest growing cruise experience for Kiwis.
Those House of Travel stats show that, last year, 3500 New Zealanders went on a river cruise, up 32 per cent on the previous year. So although the number of cruisers is relatively small, it's the growth that attracts the industry's eye.
Europe, Russia and Asia are the big drawcards.

The blogospheric snit over Whole Foods' wind power cards
We've watched with both amazement and a certain amount of there-but-for-the-grace-of-god relief as the tempest over Whole Foods' wind power cards blows across the blogosphere.
The controversy in a nutshell: Whole Foods recently began test-marketing "wind power cards," which are basically renewable energy credits (RECs) in the form of a handy little plastic card available near the checkout line. The RECs themselves are provided by Renewable Choice Energy (RCE), a broker responsible for some other high-profile green power programs, including a partnership with the Vail ski resort.
The Whole Foods program caught the notice of blogger Steve Johnson, who roundly denounced it as a scam. His denouncement was then picked up and amplified a millionfold by Boing Boing, the most popular blog in the galaxy. From there, the debate ping-ponged back and forth across the internet, with all manner of green blogs weighing in on RECs in general and on the question in particular of whether selling RECs that look like stored-value cards is a deceptive marketing practice.
We have a particular fascination with this controversy for a perhaps obvious reason. Had Whole Foods approached TerraPass with the idea of developing a carbon offset card for distribution in their stores, the sound of high fives and popping champagne corks would have echoed across the bay. Without the benefit of hindsight, this idea seems like a great deal all around. Great for consumers, who benefit from the convenience; great for the environment, which benefits from both the emissions reductions and the heightened awareness of renewables; and great for the renewable energy vendor, who gains distribution to the dreamiest demographic imaginable.
It's worth noting, although largely beside the point, that the criticisms leveled at the Whole Foods program are almost all entirely wrong on their face. The program is not, in actual fact, a scam. Of course, these debates aren't won on their merits, and in an almost postmodern sense the customer truly is always right. If everyone agrees the product is a bad idea, then the product really is a bad idea, no matter how unfair the accusations.

In Windows, how do I safely upgrade to the latest security software?
To best protect your Windows computer from viruses, use the latest version of security software available for your computer; see Recommended antivirus software at IU.
- In Windows 8.x and higher, you do not need to follow these instructions, as Windows Defender (the full antivirus suite) is included in the install and will automatically update via standard updates; for more, see Microsoft's Windows Update.
- When you need to upgrade your security software for Windows 7, UITS strongly recommends that you follow the procedure outlined below. If you simply uninstall your current antivirus software and then reinstall the newest version while your computer is connected to the Internet, your computer will be vulnerable to a virus or other malicious attack while it is connected to the Internet without the protective software. It can take mere seconds for your computer to become compromised while in such a state.
On this page:
- Download the antivirus software
- Disable your network connection
- Uninstall any security/antivirus software
- Install the new antivirus product and the latest virus definitions
- Re-enable your network connection
Download the antivirus software
Go to Download Microsoft Security Essentials. Click to download the English language version. Be sure to download the software only; do not install it yet.
Disable your network connection
For the next part of the upgrade process, disconnect your computer from the network. For the instructions below, if your computer is connected to the network with an Ethernet cable, your active connection is the one labeled "Local Area Connection" or "Ethernet". If your computer is using a wireless connection, your active connection is the one labeled "Wireless Network Connection" or "Wi-Fi".
- Go to the Network and Sharing Center.
- On the left, click .
- Right-click the icon for the active network connection, and choose .
Uninstall any security/antivirus software
Many computers come with trial versions of security software. Before installing the new product or switching to the built-in Windows Defender in Windows 8.x and higher, you must uninstall any and all existing versions of security software on your computer:
- Go to the Control Panel, and switch to Large or Small Icon view.
- Click .
- Find the installed security program (such as Symantec,, McAfee, Norton, Microsoft Security Essentials, Avasta, AVG, or Kaspersky), and select
After removal, your computer will likely prompt you to restart. Do so before continuing.

Description: The big-screen adaptation of Twilight, Stephenie Meyer's bestselling vampire romance, is aimed squarely at its key demographic: teen girls whose idea of Prince Charming is a brooding, pale, undead teen who could kill you instantly at any moment. Such a prince is more fascinating than frightening to new girl Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart), who moves to the rainy-gray town of Forks, Wash., to live with her dad (Billy Burke), the local sheriff who's puzzled by a series of "animal attacks." On her first day at school, Bella appears to (visibly) nauseate her lab partner, Edward (Robert Pattinson). Turns out the scent of her blood is this vampire's "brand of heroin," and his struggle not to kill her causes an irresistible pull toward her. Whether he's attracted for the normal reasons or because she smells especially sweet to him is vague in the book and even less clear on-screen; nonetheless, Bella falls hopelessly in love with Edward, which sets her on a dangerous path when a few nomad vampires show up in town, one particularly keen on tracking the human. Directed by Catherine Hardwicke (Thirteen), Twilight is full of funny moments--not all of which are intentional--and the casting, from Stewart to Bella's self-absorbed friend Jessica (Anna Kendrick) is spot-on. The weakest link, unfortunately, is Pattinson. While he certainly looks the part, his Edward could have used an extra injection of testosterone (Pattinson, who is British, used James Dean as a model for his American accent). In scenes where he growls about the temptation to kill those who would harm Bella, or flitting around a forest warning her how dangerous he is, he comes off more like a whimpering puppy than a debonair monster. The good news is, his chemistry with Stewart (particularly in their big kissing scene) is palpable, which, let's face it, is really what matters to Twilight fans most. --Ellen A.

Zombie & Horror Experiences
All those movies that we thought were just clever social commentary. "They're about shopping, or civil rights, or just a chance to see some gratuitous violence!" Wrong. They were warnings!
The zombie apocalypse has arrived, and now we need some folk to come along with their mighty boom-sticks and clear up all this mess.
That's where you come in.
We've got a whole range of zombie experience days, all ready to train you for the inevitable zombie onslaught.
You'll get kitted out in body armour and eye protection, tooled up with Airsoft weaponry, and shown how to use it all. Then it's up to your squad to achieve your mission objectives.
Depending on the experience you choose, you could be clearing out a shopping mall in a last-ditch attempt to find the cure, or assaulting a country manor bolthole - one of the last safe places in the country. Except it's not that safe. Because *spoiler* it's filled with zombies.

SAVANNAH Georgia (April 8, 2013) — Green Palm Inn, a cottage bed and breakfast in downtown Savannah, is in the neighborhood of African-American history on Greene Square.
The Civil War Sesquicentennial (2011-2015) has spurred us to research that period of Savannah history more to learn what was happening in our Savannah inn's neighborhood in the 1800s.
Of the Underground Railroad, we discover there were "stations" and champions dedicated to the cause of freeing men, women and children from slavery. In Stories of the Underground Railroad by Anna L. Curtis we read of the volunteer freedom heroes, informally known as "engineers" and "conductors".
Many who were dedicated to this cause were the Christians and "Friends" — the Quakers — who took to heart the Bible verse condemning slavery. For example, when Friend Hopper rushed to rescue a kidnapped, young African boy — Wajelma (see page 16 at link) — he quoted Deuteronomy 23: 15 to justify the lad's release — "Thou shalt not deliver unto his master the servant which is escaped from his master unto thee".
In Savannah, we recommend a visit to First African Baptist Church on Franklin Square, and Fort Pulaski National Monument.
University professor and Savannah historian Charles J. Elmore tells of March Haynes, serving the Union army during the Civil War. "Haynes was an African-American spy and commando under the orders of Brig. Gen. Quincey Gilmore," explained Elmore.
"His job was to gather information for the Union Army and other covert activities. But at night, he helped spur the beginning of an escape route to freedom in Savannah from 1860 throughout the Civil War."
"In the darkness, March Haynes filled his bateau with African Americans and quietly paddled them to freedom at Fort Pulaski." — Source: Savannah Morning News, April 15, 2004.
For our bed and breakfast guests, Green Palm Inn will make other recommendations for Savannah sightseeing tours with Civil War and/or African-American focus.

Thanks to those, in particular Eric Booth, who responded to this.
In short, it seems that my problem is more with Google groups than with STATA.
For those interested, it seems that Google groups has rather inconsistent behaviour when opening a file in a new browser. I find that sometimes the resulting URL ends with the original filename, sometimes it is suffixed with '?gsc=' and sometimes with '?gda='. The 'gda' links seem to work fine when supplied to DO, but the others don't.
I haven't yet found how to force the 'gda' behaviour, or get the relevant information another way, but for now I think I've got a workable solution.

Subject: Re: st: run STATA DO files on web?
The problem is that google groups redirects your browser twice when you click the link for a file stored on google groups. If you file is located at: http://groups.google.com/group/mygroup/web/myfile.do it redirects to http://mygroup.google.groups.com/web/myfile.do because this is the way that googlegroups stores its files. Then that link redirects to a permanent location with a really long link. This last file is the only one you can directly with the -do- or -type- command, the first two files have all the html code that causes Stata to choke.
For example, I uploaded a file called "test.do" to the google group for Stata users at http://groups.google.com/group/stata-users-forum/web/test.do
If I simply use the link for "test.do", here's the error I get:
do http://groups.google.com/group/stata-users-forum/web/test.do
file http://groups.google.com/group/stata-users-forum/web/test.do not found
server says file permanently redirected to http://stata-users-forum.googlegroups.com/web/test
> .do
So, this gives me the redirect location.
If I put that location into my command, it will show me all the html code that stata can't interpret...I guess you could write a program that scrubs this from the file before running it, but that seems like a pain:
type "http://stata-users-forum.googlegroups.com/web/test.do"
*this gives me all the html code*
do "http://stata-users-forum.googlegroups.com/web/test.do"
**this gives the error below because stata doesnt understand the html tags:
. <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1
> /DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
unrecognized command: < invalid command name
Finally, if you click on the file in google groups and reload the redirect page (or check the browser activity window if you've got a browser with developer tools), you'll see the permanent link in the address bar which you can use with -do- or -type- , and this will work.
You could also create a shortened URL with tinyURL, etc.
type "http://stata-users-forum.googlegroups.com/web/test.do?gda=SSPw7TkAAAAPhBKiy-Lip7KBXQRJm6l7AkTaK8g6FtbEzVxEVHzAqNf1Dl8eJvI6PhNUW9PsXbqECKgQbmraGdxlZulaYnsh"
do "http://stata-users-forum.googlegroups.com/web/test.do?gda=SSPw7TkAAAAPhBKiy-Lip7KBXQRJm6l7AkTaK8g6FtbEzVxEVHzAqNf1Dl8eJvI6PhNUW9PsXbqECKgQbmraGdxlZulaYnsh"
**be sure to correct the wrapping of these commands**

Samsung fan-site, SamMobile, believes that thanks to this, the Note III will have a thickness of just 0.31" (8mm). In contrast, the Note II is 0.37" (9.4mm) thick. An additional bonus is said to be the presence of a bigger battery, due to the thinner display panel, though that seems a bit strange, since if Samsung decides to fill the newly freed space with more battery, then how is the device itself going to be that much thinner? We wouldn't be surprised if Samsung goes for some kind of middle ground, with a slightly thinner Note III and a slightly bigger battery.
Another characteristic of this new plastic OLED would be that it's very, very tough. This kind of display is actually being called "unbreakable" by some, though we all know that there are few things in this world that our clumsy hands cannot break.
Now for the bad news. The unofficial sources report that the Galaxy Note III will be introduced at IFA 2013, which takes place from September 6 to September 13, with launch scheduled for Q4. Having in mind the Note II's pre-IFA 2012 launch last year, this bit of information does sound somewhat plausible.

This may sound silly but i'm one of those guys that everytime i shoot,IDPA shoot,range practice,or some school,i keep up with how many rounds i fired on whatever type of weapon i'm using at that time. I post this in my "gun room" on simple pieces of paper out of a note book. My question to this forum is:does anybody offer/sale anything that we be more orderly,professional looking than using a blank piece of paper.

I am ''Mr Approximate'' - much of which is retrospective ''assessment''! It is actually not that inaccurate.
My IDPA thruput is estimated back as 150 rounds (higher sometimes than actual) - and then just count back compo's per month etc. Practice is also estimated and usually rounded out at 100 rounds per session.
I reckon my count is accurate to +/- 100 rounds or so. - I just cannot be bothered to log every darned round! That's old age and lazyness!

I suppose, if anyone thinks they would use it, I could put together a program to allow you to keep track of rounds fired with a PocketPC device... Couldn't imagine that it'd take more than a day or so to do it. I for one won't be carrying a palm-top computer to the range, but I suppose some people might be interested in such a thing.
Liberty is an inherently offensive lifestyle. Living in a free society guarantees that each one of us will see our most cherished principles and beliefs questioned and in some cases mocked. It's worth it.
I use a spreadsheet on my Palm Pilot to keep track of rounds fired in every gun I own. I include the date, and any pertinent info. Hence, I can quickly add up all the rounds fired from a particular gun over a particular time period. The entry is convenient and quick. Works for me.
Don't sound silly to me -- I keep a round log on all my guns for no more reason than I think it's interesting to know! I was doing it in a spreadsheet but I rebuilt it awhile back in a MySQL database so I can eventually put a front-end on it, accessable through a web browser.
I made up a PDF with some logs that I print out and cut apart and stuff in my range bag, that I can scribble on at the range so I don't have to remember what I did; Sometimes it's hard to remember if I bring too many guns or have bulk packaged ammo. I attached it in case anyone cares to use it.
I keep the number of rounds fired in my head, but do keep a spreadsheet list of all of my guns, model numbers, cost, description and serial numbers in case of fire or theft. Come to think of it, I need to add Prospector's guns to the list since I am safekeeping them for him while he is away.

thanks manchicken that will be handy
I keep spreadsheets on everything. Guns, ammo on hand, rounds fired for each firearm, etc. Whenever I shoot, I write it in a log, and then later update my spreadsheets. I recently added a column listing the last time I shot each firearm, and went through my logs to find the information. Imagine my shock to find that one of my weapons hadnt been shot since 1998. I remedied that problem the last weekend.
The only thing I dont keep on spreadsheets is the firearm information such as serial numbers and purchase information. Im too afraid of my computer being hacked and the info being stolen. Instead I keep one of these in the gunsafe
Actually, I am so paranoid that I dont even keep my spreadsheets on the computer. I keep them on a floppy, and a hard copy printed out.

Eww -- I hope you keep enough backups. Floppies are failures waiting to happen!
The little USB thumbdrives are pretty cheap and handy for storing data on (and even taking with you). Most come with cheesy software that you can encrypt your data with, or you could get something like PGP and encrypt with that instead for better security.
Yes, I keep hardcopies of the data, blank copies of the spreadsheets on an harddrive, and an occasional copy of the data to CD. It would take me about 5 minutes to restore/re-enter the data.
I'm a web developer, so that's why I am so paranoid about my data being stolen. I know how to do it.

Just curious, why keep track of how much ammo goes through your gun? What difference does it make. Plus, when you buy a used pistol, most of the time you have no idea how many rounds have been fired. It is not like the pistol will wear out like tires, so why all the seemingly wasted effort to keep track?

Well, my pistol calls for a new recoil spring every 800 rounds, for instance. How would I know when to change otherwise?Originally Posted by mobyclarke
Probably more importantly, for me anyway, is that I enjoy that level of detail. I keep a logbook of every gallon of diesel that goes into my truck, the mileage of every tank, I send oil samples to a lab every 10K miles, etc.
It's a sickness I know, but I enjoy it.

Is the Anti-Gay National Organization for Marriage (NOM) a Secret Mormon Front Group?
Written by Jon Ponder Wednesday, 25 March 2009 13:51
Leaked documents detailing the formation of an anti-gay front group by the Mormon Church in Hawaii over a decade ago have prompted a call for an official investigation into the church's relationship with the National Organization for Marriage...
a group formed in 2007 to promote Proposition 8, the anti-gay marriage amendment, in California last year.
The call for an inquiry was made to the California Fair Political Practices Commission by Californians Against Hate in an amendment to a complaint filed by the Los Angeles-based gay-marriage advocacy group in November. In the original filing, Californians Against Hate alleged that the Mormon Church had failed to fully disclose its contributions to Prop 8. Two months after the filing, the church reported previously undisclosed services donated to the Prop 8 campaign valued at around $190,000. The fact the church filed the disclosure in a classic late Friday news dump on Super Bowl weekend added to its critics' suspicions that it was being evasive.
A few days after the disclosure, the church issued a non-denial in which it acknowledged reporting the donations but noted that its $189,903.58 contribution to protectmarriage.com was "less than one half of one percent of the total funds (approximately $40 million) raised for the 'Yes on 8? campaign." (About half the $40 million was donated by Mormons at the behest of the church leadership.)
On the heels of this apparent double-dealing comes the newly leaked documents that describe how the church secretly set up a front group similar to the National Organization for Marriage in Hawaii in the mid-1990s:
The new allegations are based, in part, on what [Californians Against Hate's Fred Karger] in his sworn affidavit to the commission says are leaked internal LDS Church documents showing similarities between church efforts in California and an anti-same sex marriage campaign conducted in Hawaii 12 years ago. The group has released 11 documents, dated between Oct. 31, 1995, and Jan. 8, 1998, on the Web site mormongate.com
Church officials declined to discuss the documents or confirm their authenticity.
The memos — 10 of which appear to have been written by the late Loren C. Dunn, a member of the First Quorum of the Seventy at the time — reveal key aspects of the LDS Church's strategy in fighting same-sex marriage in Hawaii. Karger contends they also reveal a kind of electoral blueprint that the church modified for use in California.
Whether the documents bear any relevance to the Prop 8 efforts, they offer a glimpse into what appears to have been a major effort by senior church leaders at the time to battle same-sex marriage in a number of states, including Hawaii.
The memos focus on formation and operation of Hawaii's Future Today, the main group championing Hawaii's constitutional amendment against same-sex marriage, and the church's desire that the group's members be drawn from diverse religious faiths.
"One reason I wanted us organized in Hawaii the way we are is because President [Gordon B.] Hinckley wanted it that way," Dunn supposedly wrote to the late Neal A. Maxwell, then a member of the Quorum of Twelve Apostles, in a March 6, 1996, memo. "A coalition is hard to attack. …"
The same memo refers to a desire to publicly distance the LDS Church from the group while maintaining direct influence. "The ideas are introduced but the Church is not visible," the memo says.
The documents also outline efforts to keep church financial support secret. "… We have shielded previous donors from recognition because of how the funds were used in the preparation of this project," said a Dunn memo to Maxwell on March 21, 1996, "but in the worst case scenario, current donors might be ferreted out."
On June 5, 1996, Dunn supposedly wrote to Maxwell again, reassuring him that "[w]e have organized things so the Church contribution was used in an area of coalition activity that does not have to be reported."
On its website, Californians Against Hate describes a web of interconnections between the Mormon Church and NOM's leaders that sounds very similar to its secret arrangement in Hawaii 12 years ago:
In 2006, two separate and competing groups tried unsuccessfully to qualify constitutional amendments to ban same-sex marriage in California… Sensing an impending ruling by the California Supreme Court that could allow same-sex marriage, the Mormon Church decided to take matters into its own hands. So as it did in Hawaii, the church … established … a front group to qualify a constitutional amendment in California and attempted to hide its involvement.
As in Hawaii, it had a loyal Mormon on the board of this new organization. Matthew S. Holland, son of Jeffrey R. Holland who is one of the 12 Mormon Apostles, and the former President of BYU, served in that capacity. The younger Holland teaches political science at BYU. He received his BA in Political Science from BYU and a Masters and PHD in Political Science from Duke University.
Matthew Holland had served as a fellow in 2005 and 2006 under Princeton McCormick Professor of Jurisprudence Professor Robert P. (Robby) George, a very well known and controversial national advocate against same-sex marriage…
Currently, Robby George serves as NOM Chairman. He is on the board of the Institute for American Values alongside fellow NOM board members Chuck Stetson and Kenneth Von Kohorn and mega Yes on 8 Mormon donor from Mesa, Arizona, Broc Hiatt. George is also a board member of James Dobson's Washington, DC-based political operation, [the] Family Research Council.
Robby George organized NOM and put the staff and board in place. They are all connected to him. He hired Maggie Gallagher to be the president, and recruited friend and leading fellow anti-gay activist Brian S. Brown away from the Family Institute of Connecticut (FIC) as … executive director. George serves on the FIC National Advisory Board along with fellow NOM board member, Ken Von Kohorn who is chairman of the board of the Family Institute of Connecticut.
Another NOM Board Member, Luis Tellez is president of the Witherspoon Institute also located in Princeton, NJ. Robby George serves as a senor fellow at Witherspoon….
[Any] reporting by the Mormon Church of all of its activities in setting up NOM as its California front group is missing. Did they do polling as they did in Hawaii? Did the Church incur legal bills as they did in Hawaii? How about travel expenses, as in Hawaii? What about staff time, as they reported after the fact in California? These expenses should be easy to identify as a part of the current investigation.
What to expect next: A non-denial denial from the church about its involvement in setting up NOM as a front group.
