Are Your Social Media Accounts Really Private?
How private are your posts on Facebook and your tweets on Twitter? If you think the answer depends only on how you configure your privacy or security settings for your accounts, you might be in for a rude awakening – at least if you're ever involved in a court case.
Two recent cases illustrate that if you step into a courthouse – whether intentionally, as a plaintiff in a civil suit, or not so intentionally as a defendant or even as a juror – you give up a fair chunk of your expectation of privacy in the social media sphere.
Bored at Jury Duty? Don't Tell Your Facebook Friends
In California, a man will likely have to turn over posts he made to Facebook while he was serving on a jury in a criminal assault trial in 2010. After the jury returned a guilty verdict, a fellow juror ratted out the man, who was posting in violation of the judge's orders forbidding such communications during the trial. At a subsequent juror misconduct hearing, he tried to argue that his posts weren't about the substance of the trial but about how bored he was.
Because juror misconduct can lead to a tainted verdict, a lawyer for a defendant in the criminal trial went on the offense, hoping to have his client's conviction overturned. He first tried to force Facebook to turn over the posts, but the social media giant evaded responsibility by pointing to the Stored Communications Act (SCA), which protects electronic communications stored by providers of electronic communications services. The issue went to a California appellate court, which ruled on May 31 that the juror must turn over his posts made during the trial, regardless of what they were about.
This outcome is "not surprising," says Todd Pittenger, a litigator in the Orlando office of Akerman Senterfitt. "The juror put himself in a problem situation." Pittenger explains that anyone who is subject to an ongoing legal dispute – criminal or civil — gives up some amount of privacy in their social media communications because they're in a special position; they must remain uninfluenced by outside forces during the trial. "Jurors shouldn't use it during trial," he says, referring to any social media channel. "They should wait until after they've finish their service. Then they even write books!"
It's common knowledge that jurors are forbidden to talk about the cases they are helping to decide. But the temptations of social media have pushed the issue even further. Pittenger notes that the Florida Supreme Court just approved an instruction that trial judges must give jurors, telling them directly that "they must not use electronic devices or computers to talk about the case, including tweeting, texting, blogging, emailing, posting information on a website, or chat room, or any other means at all."
Accused of a Crime? Tweets Are on the Table
Another recent case is exploring the limits of the privacy of messages posted to Twitter by a criminal defendant. In New York prosecutors in an Occupy Wall Street trespassing case are trying to compel Twitter to turn over the tweets of a defendant about his activities during a protest on the Brooklyn Bridge.
Arguing that they need the tweets to counter an anticipated argument by the defendant blaming the police for moving the protesters into the roadway on the bridge, the Manhattan DA's office has subpoenaed Twitter. The social media provider is using the SCA to avoid complying, and privacy rights groups, including the ACLU, have stepped in to the case to argue that indeed, it is the Twitter user, not Twitter, who owns the tweets and should be the target of any subpoena.
"This is a closer call," Pittenger observes, explaining that an exception to the SCA could allow a law enforcement agency access to the records if their contents pertain to the alleged commission of a crime. Fourth Amendment concerns can arise where searches of criminal defendants' belongings are concerned, and Pittenger uses the analogy of the locked trunk of a car on the street: If tweets are locked down by the user so that only other users he or she approves can see them, are they protected in terms of the Constitution? Defendants waive Fourth Amendment protections where evidence is left in "plain view," he points out.
Does Limiting Your Audiences Make a Difference?
So, what if someone actually figures out how to limit the audiences for his or her social media posts so that they are not available to the public at large. "That is an argument you could make," Pittenger allows. "But the general expectation of privacy is so much less with social media, that if there's a good reason to be looking, like protecting the integrity of the court process, it would be easy to convince a judge to overcome that barrier."
Privacy is a right that almost always bumps up against other important rights, and when it comes to the right to a fair trial, privacy has often been forced to give way. "Hopefully these cases don't represent a big inroad on privacy," Pittenger says.
The limits of privacy in the social media activities of litigants and criminal defendants are still being worked out by the courts. But the person walking down the street still has a greater expectation of privacy for social media activity. "The government can't just fish around out of curiosity," says Pittenger. But the minute litigation becomes a possibility, privacy can be traded for fairness, he warns, so it's best to be careful what you post, because it can come back to bite you – "privacy" settings or no — in a trial.

Efficacy of Curcumin in the Treatment of Chronic Gingivitis: A Pilot Study
Muglikar, Sangeeta / Patil, Kalpak Chandrakant / Shivswami, Sumanth / Hegde, Rashmi
Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of curcumin mouthwash as an adjunct to scaling and root planing in the treatment of chronic gingivitis and to compare curcumin to chlorhexidine in terms of its anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties.
Materials and Methods: Thirty patients aged 20-40 years with generalised chronic gingivitis were included in the study. They were randomly divided into 3 groups of 10 each. In group 1, patients underwent scaling and root planing followed by chlorhexidine mouthwash (SRP/CHX Gr-1); in group 2, patients underwent scaling and root planing followed by curcumin mouthwash (SRP/CUR Gr-2); in group 3, patients underwent only scaling and root planing (SRP Gr-3). Gingival and plaque indices were recorded at baseline (day 0) and 7, 14 and 21 days. Differences between the groups were statistically analysed.
Results: The clinical parameters showed improvement in all the three groups compared to baseline. When compared to the scaling and root planing group (Gr-3), both curcumin and chlorhexidine groups were found to have statistically significantly better results (P < 0.05). However, when curcumin and chlorhexidine groups were compared, the gingival (L�e and Silness) and plaque index (Silness and L�e) scores were not found to be statistically significant (P > 0.05).
Conclusion: Curcumin is comparable to chlorhexidine as an anti-inflammatory mouthwash. Thus, it can be considered as an effective adjunct to mechanical periodontal therapy.
Keywords: chlorhexidine, curcumin, dental plaque, gingivitis

Eurotunnel said it was to test the co-ordinated emergency response if an incident were to occur in the tunnel.
A spokeswoman said it was to simulate a "particularly demanding problem" on board a train, and involved nearly 300 extras, assessors and observers.
Services were suspended overnight and customers were informed, she said.
Safety priority
There have been 12 such exercises since 1994, she added.
This year, the exercise was being led by authorities in France.
The exercise on Saturday night included four Eurotunnel shuttles and six buses.
"Maintaining the highest level of safety has always been and remains a fundamental priority for the group," the spokeswoman said.

"Just wanted to drop a note to let you know that our install went as expected - flawless. Thank you to Charles Perry and Cody for a fine job. Please pass on our satisfaction to others. We will be back in touch when we decide what to do with our other speed limit posts and signs."
Thank you for the great representation your company provided today. I thought that having only one person would be a problem but he took his time and executed to perfection. Totally professional and knowledgeable about all aspects of the business. He was never too busy to speak because there were several neighbors marveling at his work as he put the signs up. Thanks for sending him and thanks for the addition to our neighborhood.
As usual, Charles & Cody were excellent! We met yesterday morning and they took care of our repair list. Each time I speak with a neighbor they always comment on how nice the mailboxes look and how professional and courteous the installers were. Thanks again, on behalf of the Pointes.

Well Dr.K you about knocked my eye balls out with all them. That sure is a fine collection of pistols and one poor little revolver. You need a couple of more revolvers for that one has company. Looking good.
Best Baldy..
Is your Deagle .50 caliber?
Well..is it?
Yes, of course it is. 325gr gold dot over 32.5gr h110 = Boom! loads of fun
Not military, but have been interested in firearms ever since the day I understood that the end of the bullet comes out of the gun, the brass is ejected and there is gunpowder burning in there. I must have been about 6 years old.
Dr. K,
Fine assortment of weapons you have! Real nice.
Is that some sort of Ruger on the bottom right? the reciever portion looks like it is, but the frame is like none Ive ever seen.
I am envious of your collection Doc. Nice!

Elona Whetstone's Mr. Pursuit, fresh off a second-place finish in the Maxxim Gold Cup Handicap at Sam Houston on Jan. 27, is the 118-pound high weight among 11 older horses entered for Saturday's featured $100,000 Essex Handicap (gr. III) at Oaklawn Park.
Also expected to vie for favoritism in the Essex is Mike Langford's Jonesboro, second in the Louisiana Breeders' Cup at Fair Grounds. The 1 1/16-mile event is the first "hundred-grander" of the Oaklawn meet.
Mr. Pursuit, who races for former Oaklawn training champion Joe Petalino, enjoyed a standout year in 2006, logging five wins from 19 starts and earnings of $362,395. The bay son of General Royal won a pair of starts at Oaklawn early in the year and comes off a closing second, 3 1/2 lengths behind Student Council, in the Maxxim. The winner of the 2006 Oklahoma Derby has jockey Cliff Berry back for the Essex.
Jonesboro, a speedy sort, breezed an impressive five furlongs in :59 4/5 in front of the crowd at Oaklawn on Jan. 28. Jonesboro sports a career mark of five wins from 15 starts and earnings of $217,885. He won the 2005 Northern Spur Breeders' Cup at Oaklawn. He will tote 116 and Calvin Borel on Saturday.
Sure to get solid backing is Vinery Stable's More Than Regal, winner of the Prairie Meadows, Iowa and Zia Park derbies during his 2006 season. The Steve Asmussen trainee has amassed a career mark of five wins from 16 starts and earnings of $543,091.
What could end up being the values of the field are H and H Ranch's Absent Friend and Thomas Franks' Red Raymond.
Absent Friend ran a bang-up second in allowance company in his first race at Oaklawn since winning the 2005 Essex. The 7-year-old gray, now trained by Chris Hartman, has won six of his 32 starts and earned $294,906.
Red Raymond, third in the Southwest and second in the Rebel (gr. III) at Oaklawn last year, has trained forwardly and should have plenty of support. Handled by Oaklawn training standout Bob Holthus, the 4-year-old son of Deputy Commandercomes to the Essex off a strong second to the talented Well Said in a tough allowance race at Fair Grounds in December.

Great Escapes
Carson Tortorige, coordinator for Touch the Earth — Georgia State's outdoor recreation program — connects Panthers to nature
What is Touch the Earth?
The Touch the Earth program at Georgia State began as a whitewater paddling club in 1974 with instruction, recreational trips and competitions for open boats and recreational rafting. It has grown to a staff of nearly 75 to offer an equipment rental program, a climbing wall and bouldering cave, and 100-plus trips a year – instructional and recreational in nature — providing experiences in the following sports: backpacking, day hikes, horseback riding, inline skating, rock climbing, waterskiing, sailing, windsurfing, geocaching, fly fishing, canoeing — whitewater and flatwater — whitewater kayaking, snorkeling, kayak touring, skydiving, hang gliding, surfing, rafting, snow skiing, caving and whatever else the imagination can initiate. We're a non-academic outdoor recreation program that provides users with the ability to scale vertical indoor climbing walls, get outfitted with outdoor rental gear to head out on your own, strengthen groups and unfold participant dynamics through exciting teambuilding, and travel the world on a variety of domestic and international experiential adventure trips.
Can Georgia State alumni participate?
You bet. Alumni and their guests can participate on any trip at the Guest rate or freely reserve the Challenge Program for their group. By purchasing a Graduate Membership to the Student Recreation Center, degree holding alumni will receive Member pricing on any trip and receive the benefit of renting any item of gear available. In addition, they'll receive all the perks of utilizing the recreation center for their workout, which includes access to the climbing wall and bouldering cave.
What's the Challenge Program?
Well, you may have heard the term "ropes course" and wondered just what it meant. Georgia State has its very own "ropes course" out at the Indian Creek Recreation Area. The ropes course is within a large teambuilding program we call the Challenge Program. Through active participation in a series of initiative problems, adventure games and ropes course challenges, individuals face obstacles, seek solutions, deal with the concepts of risk and as a result, learn, change and grow. These activities are designed with some important goals in mind that will translate into "real world" applications and attributes. The objectives of these activities focus on increasing personal self-confidence, trust in others, mutual support for effective teamwork, good communication skills, leadership and new friendships. Just imagine all that and a lot of fun, too!
What have been some of your most memorable trips?
There are incredible moments on even the smallest of trips. Like this spring when Cataloochee Ski Area got enough snow to open the pastures, the High Meadow Run, for the first time in 15 years on one of the six Friday's Touch the Earth went! Or the time we took a student who grew up in Atlanta to see the ocean for the very first time — it was as if solitude seized them for hours on that beach staring into nothing.
But nothing compares to what I have witnessed or personally felt on break trips. Extended trips in the most powerful of locations create amazing emotional responses that develop into incredible group dynamics. From new perspectives on one's life and place, to witnessing the beginnings of life-long relationships – all fostered through experiences of relaxation combined with trying hardships — these break trips have provided some of the most inspiring feedback from the participants. Sometimes this feedback comes years or months later.
What are some trips you have upcoming?
Starting in August, the fall semester will bring a few new trips such as a river cleanup service project that is teamed up with the Sustainable Energy Tribe on campus. We'll also bring back a few of our signature getaway trips to Okefenokee Swamp, Cumberland Island and St. Joseph Island State Park. Of course, it's always easy to take the family rafting or horseback riding, or even bicycling on the campus of Berry College or the Silver Comet Trail. Two large-scale break trips will be the annual Steamboat Ski and Snowboard trip in December and an international trip to Peru in November.

Internet Of Things Dashboard Monitors All Connected Devices In One Place
Bug Labs built an easy way for you to develop your own IoT apps.
Most of us are already drowning in information, but the "Internet of Things" (IoT) promises a second surge of information over the next few years. To try and make sense of it all, New York-based Bug Labs has created Freeboard, a "ridiculously simple" web-based dashboard that tracks all your internet-connected devices.
Freeboard is the latest piece in Bug Labs master plan; to build a modular development platform that makes building and deploying innovative, enterprise-class IoT applications quick, painless and possibly even fun.
The dashboard is a follow-up to the company's first module, dweet.io, which gives you a way to get your device online and publishing data. Combined, you can build fully-interactive user-interfaces, dashboards, control panels… basically, a simple, but solid IoT application.
Bug Labs decided on a modular approach because it helps to address one of the biggest obstacles in IoT product development, there is no solution that will work for every situation. That's also why Freeboard is open source, so that developers can pick and choose what works for them, and change everything else.
So far, examples include sensor designed to fit inside a cigar humidor to monitor lid position, humidity and temperature, and a dashboard configured to monitor the environment, security and power usage of a residential home.
Bug Labs also has plenty of additional software modules planned for the next few months. Notifications, data analytics and reporting are all on the drawing board, which should eventually make it faster and more convenient to build your own IoT applications.

put my new plastics on today. Still waiting for my LED tail light, and FMF Ti muffler.
i also made a heatshield (melted the knee of my pants in traffic the other day).
Nice! (I think I'm a bit partial to the olive drab plastics for the uniqueness of it but it's not like these are all over the place anyway) I'm gonna have to check this bad boy out pretty sooon

I've had a Husaberg 450FE for a couple of years now, absolutely incredible machine. Get the three way ignition switch for the bike, and watch the smile factor grow..........
Stick with International for servicing as well, they've treated the bike well since I bought it from Zach.
I am loving the bike though. Put 300 km on it on Saturday, and will probably do the same again this weekend if the weather is similar.
I'd suggest radiator guards as well, soon as the bike goes over the shroud impacts the rads and leads to denty type stuff. Remove the spider under the gas cap if you have trouble opening yours. When I bought mine it took forever to get the cap off. It still seals no problem without the spider and opens without breaking veins, which is a bonus.
So I just rode my brand-new resident evil fs570 to work - the first time I've been on a bike since last season - and park in my usual super-secret parking spot under the convention centre.
And what do I see? ANOTHER brand-new resident evil fs570! Never seen it parked there before, and the first time it is, I'm riding up on its sister... Just thought I'd share my moment of irony!
what exhaust was on it? my buddies was just delivered today.
Looked like a stock exhaust, painted black. It was still olive green and had the race rains on the rims still ...
Was thinking we should do a group ride to the theatre when Resident Evil comes out!
so did you buy one of the green ones too?
Naw, got the white one from Bo's bro.... I thought I'd be changing the color, but I'm diggin it!

Eternal Images: Photographing Childhood
From the earliest days of photography doting parents from across Maine sought to capture images of their young children. The studio photographs often reflect the families' images of themselves and their status or desired status.
Success at riding a bike mirrored success in life. Bicycling could bring families together. Bicycling was good for one's health. Bicycling was fun. Bicycles could go fast.

How a popular governor braces for an unpopular budget
Part of Cuomo's tools have been direct appeals to lawmakers, lots of food, and, notably, a lack of demonizing the people who got the state into the fiscal mess.
Cuomo has taken a matter-of-fact tone to describe the drastic maneuvers he's about to unveil, saying it's the result of a "national economic decline, on top of a state that has been spending too much money for too long."
"Those two facts are now compounding and the chickens are coming home to roost," he said in Poughkeepsie earlier this month.
All that spending — those chickens coming home — went set in motion, year in and year out, by the legislators in Albany. But unlike his predecessors, Cuomo isn't steamrolling, scapegoating or even blaming them.
If anything, he's bludgeoning them with charm.
"The New York State legislature is, historically, the best legislature in the nation," he said in his State of the State speech. "The most talented people — those who we are. That's who we are. And that's who we can be again."
Everyone applauded.

/// AllThingsD in The Media: Microsoft's Next CEO (Maybe) and a New Video Chat App
Another busy week of tech news — and when was the last time it wasn't a busy week? — meant AllThingsD 's personnel was equally busy in the media this week. Early in the week, on Sept. 30, Kara Swisher was on CNBC to talk about the still-unfolding story about the possibility that Alan Mullaly, the current CEO of automaker Ford may be in line to replace Steve Ballmer as the next CEO of software giant Microsoft. Swisher was first to report the news that Mullaly is being considered for the job on Sept. 26. Also Walt Mossberg was on The Wall Street Journal's Digits to talk about the new video chat app Spin.

I'm Jealous of My BFF!

"I really love my best friend — she's like a sister to me — but I'm secretly jealous of her. She's really pretty and all the boys always want to talk to her. They always seem to look past me. I just wish I could be her for a day."

It could be the hottest day of the year so far in some parts of Sydney, with the heat expected to soar as high as 36 degrees.
The forecast maximum for the city is 33 degrees, but it could get as hot as 36 degrees anywhere west of Bankstown and Homebush, Weatherzone meteorologist Brett Dutschke said.
"It will warm up very quickly today," Mr Dutschke said.
"It's a fair way above average - about 12 degrees - for this time of the year.
"There's a good chance for this to be the hottest day of the year for some parts of Sydney so far.
"There's going to be very dry northerly winds and they'll be fairly gusty."
If you can't handle the heat, hit the beaches, where it will be up to 10 degrees cooler.
"The beaches are the place to be if you don't like this sort of heat because the temperature will be in the high 20s," Mr Dutschke said.
"It should be noticeably cooler at the beach with the sea breeze."
A cool change won't have any effect until late in the evening, Mr Dutschke said.
"It'll be above 30 degrees at least until early parts of the evening anywhere away from the sea breeze.
"It might still be very warm when some people are going to bed this evening."
With the gusty winds comes a high pollen count, he said.
The Rural Fire Service said the fire danger rating in greater Sydney, including the Blue Mountains and Gosford areas, was severe and very high in the Hunter and Illawarra.
There are also total fire bans in those areas, which are in place until midnight.
The total fire ban prohibits fires out in the open and gas or electric barbecues must be strictly supervised.
The fire danger rating for much of the east coast is very high.
"Under these conditions, fires can difficult to control and still present a threat to properties," an RFS statement said.
"People should report any unattended fires to triple-0."

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|3 nights
You will find our spacious and well appointed condo uniquely located to take full advantage of the varied activities that Bozeman has to offer. With close proximity to Yellowstone National Park, Big Sky and Bridger Bowl Ski Resorts, numerous public golf courses,and blue ribbon trout streams, our location has something for everyone to enjoy.
Keywords: Newly remodeled 3 Bedroom / 3 Bathroom Townhouse in the Bridger Creek Golf Course Subdivision with direct access to the Bozeman Trail System.
The owner, a Bozeman native, and his wife, originally built and recently remodeled the property. Being avid travelers, they have made every effort to accomodate their guests with the same consideration they would hope for while traveling.
The Owner purchased this condo in 1996
With the Bridger Creek Golf Course only yards from the property, 13 miles to Bridger Bowl Ski Resort, 55 miles to Big Sky Ski Resort, world class skiing and challenging rounds of golf are right out your front door.
Enjoy your day of fishing, at one of the numerous blue ribbon trout streams surrounding the property. Unique, locally owned shops and restaurants are minutes away in Historic Downtown Bozeman. Discover the secrets of Natural History at the famed Museum of the Rockies.
Explore the National Forests on miles of walking, hiking and biking trails near the property. We hope you will find our condo ideally located for your favorite activities, anytime of year.
It was a nice place to stay. It had all what we needed. We liked the location being so close to the golf course, it was so convenient. It was nice and quiet too.
We were pleasantly surprised when got there. This place was clean, cozy, nicely decorated, and had everything we needed. We had a couple of questions when we first arrived and contacted the owner. She responded very quickly. The neighborhood was nice and very quiet. It was close to everything we were planning to do. We hated leaving! I would definitely recommend this property. And if I ever find myself in Bozeman again, I would definitely stay here again.
Our family had a great time in Bozeman over Christmas & really enjoyed the townhouse. It is nice and clean, comfortable, and in a very quiet neighborhood. It was exactly what I was looking for to get in some quality R & R. I walked the dogs several times a day in the neighborhood and really enjoyed the scenery. We would definitely stay here again.
We come to Bozeman often and always stay at this rental. The owners have thought of everything to make you comfortable. It's convenient to have everyone stay in a home rather than separate motel rooms. The laundry facilities were especially appreciated because we had a young child with us. The kitchen contained all the utensils and equipment needed for cooking, so we didn't have to eat out all the time, and the table was large enough so we could all sit together.
We definitely recommend this home away from home.
Excellent townhome. I really have nothing to 'complain' about, but a couple concerns that you may want to address before others use the home. The garbage disposal was stuck, and wouldn't work. Because of this, it stunk until you ran a lot of hot water through it. The porch light was apparently burnt out. The television, in the master bedroom, would only display black and white. There did not seem to be a setting to change. Overall, we enjoyed our stay. The house was neat, tidy, and well-kept. Furniture was excellent. Everything, except the three things mentioned, it was excellent. If those items were repaired, I'd recommend this townhome to anyone.
This was our first time renting a condo for a family vacation. We come to Bozeman often and will definitely stay here again when we bring the whole family. A quiet family setting with nice neighbors. Easy to find and close to everything in Bozeman. Not walking distance to downtown, but easy drive or bike ride. Nice little walking trail beside the Gallatin River in the subdivision. Property manager was very professional and responsive to all of our questions. Our damage deposit was promptly refunded.

We are facing a one way audio problem using Cisco 6961 over a VPN tunnel.
Not NAT is used. The ipphones on the remote site can't hear the users from the HQ where the CUCM is deployed.
The stange thing is is working fine when we use IP Communicator softphone instead of the hard ip phones.
Both (CIPC and 6961) are in the same subnet .
Any idea is welcome.
Thank you in advance

Blacon High School caretaker Ken Bates gives Rob Saunders a hand repairing a bicycle
RECONDITIONED bicycles will be offered for sale during a community festival.
The Sustainable Blacon project 'Recycle Your Cycle' has been busy collecting more than 120 bikes that have been donated to the scheme with support from local residents, the Chester Cycling Campaign, CDHT and the Countess of Chester Hospital.
"The response so far has been fantastic," said Stephen Perry, who is leading the project.
Blacon High School has provided workshop space in which the bikes have been repaired and caretaker Ken Bates has always been willing to meet the steady stream of Saturday morning volunteers, who have been carrying out the repair work.
The reconditioned bikes will be sold from 10.30am-3pm during the Blacon Festival which takes place on Saturday, July 7, at Blacon High School.
Organisers, Sustainable Blacon Ltd, hope the Recycle Your Cycle scheme will encourage as many people as possible to be green and swap four wheels for two.
Blacon High School HR manager Rachel Keating said: "We have been delighted to support such a worthwhile project. We are committed to working closely with all members of the Blacon community, and as the bikes will be sold at the Blacon Festival, to be held on our school grounds, repairing and storing the bikes on our site seemed the best solution."
Ged Edwards, manager of Sustainable Blacon and leader of the Cheshire Furniture Reuse Forum, said: "Almost everyone seems to have an unused bike in their garage or shed and the idea of getting bikes back into use seems to have universal appeal.
"It feels like such a win-win situation. We can provide access to cheap bikes for the family whose budget is squeezed and help them get to work. We can enable people to try out cycling before buying a brand new bike. We will save valuable resources from being scrapped and thereby help the environment."
The Blacon Adventure Playground has also supported the scheme by supplying spare parts, along with the Bike Factory, in Boughton, which has provided technical advice and will be helping check the bikes on the day of the festival.
As well as offering reconditioned bikes for sale for the average cyclist, there will be a few vintage bikes in need of further attention which may well attract cycling enthusiasts.

You have just had a heart attack and survived. After experiencing a heart attack, it is probably not something you would want to go through again. Reducing your risk of another episode and working your way toward improved health will require commitment, discipline, and some sacrifices. One such sacrifice is quitting smoking.
Why quit smoking after a heart attack? Continuing to smoke doubles your risk of having a second heart attack. It is never too late to quit. Your risk of a heart attack is already lowered within 24 hours after quitting.
How does smoking affect your heart? Smoking works in conjunction with other heart-related risk factors. Smoking contributes to:
In addition to lowering your chance of another heart attack, here are other health benefits of quitting smoking:
If you are a smoker aged 65-69 years, quitting may increase your life expectancy by 1-4 years. If you are aged 35-39, 6-9 years are added to your life expectancy.
By quitting, you decrease your risk of death from heart disease by 50% or more. In addition to heart-related diseases, quitting will also reduce the chances of several other diseases.
After quitting, you may notice that lingering symptoms that occur in smokers, like a cough or sore throat, will not be as bothersome or occur less often. You may also notice that you have more energy. Kicking the habit can also prevent face wrinkles, stained teeth, smelly clothes and hair. Moreover, your sense of taste and smell will also improve.
When you quit, your body begins to heal itself right away. Your heart rate and blood pressure will lower. After 12 hours, carbon monoxide levels in your blood drop to normal. That is just the beginning. In addition to the improvement in your lung function, the risk of heart disease falls in line with that of a nonsmoker.
If you are ready to quit smoking, talk with your doctor about the best approach for you. Approaches may include trying different ways to fight cravings, taking smoking cessation medications, and meeting with a support group or counselor. There may be several or a combination of approaches you will use before finding what works for you. But it is important that you take the initiative to quit and not give up. Doing so will ensure that your first heart attack is your last.

I got pulled out of elementary school because I was "sick" once. My dad used to lay carpet. He was doing a job at Isaiah Thomas' house and needed my "help". In reality, he just wanted a kid to be around so he'd be more tempted to sign something.
Cousin dated one of the old time Red Wings grand daughters. Can't remember who it was though. They only dated a couple times.
Other cousin is marrying Chris Weber's brother.
As far as me? Not really. I like to keep a low profile.

When the Lions played at the silverdome, I did the field maintainance for the grass outdoor practice fields. Mainly sprinkler work and we painted the lines and numbers on the field twice a week.
So, we got to meet everyone.
most of the time it sucked..
We'd paint on tuesdays. Well, they'd always lose on sunday, then monday was off, so back to work on tuesday. So I'd be down in the locker room to get the keys, and many times I was run over by some 340 lb scary looking white guy with long hair..
I did get tons fo footballs, pads, gloves, etc. The receivers gloves with the sticky leather grips were cool..

When I was involved in hot air ballooning, Isiah Thomas gave a hot air balloon ride to his wife for their anniversary.
He blind folder her, with her bikini top, and we got the balloon heated up and ready for take off, he walked her over to the basket, lifted her in and they took off! It was great, she took off the blind fold, and was shocked!
It was a morning flight, and I chased for them. I stopped at a bakery and bought them two chocolate cup cakes with whipped cream and a cherry on top for their anniversary.
When they safely landed, and we were having the traditional champagne toast, I gave them the cupcakes. His wife says " These look like boobs", then added "These look my MY boobs"!!!
She was hilarious!!

Also, since there is no dipstick and the only way to check the oil is to rely on the instrument display, which says the oil is O.K., should I be worried that I have gone 7000 miles and there is nothing saying that the oil should be changed? The owners manual says that the computer will tell me when to change the oil based on previous driving conditions and habits. I'm really not O.K. with that. I'm thinking 5000 miles and change it. This car is driven tenderly. It may be 10000 miles before the computer finally wakes up.
This is my first Bimmer and I don't want to mess it up.
Thanks for any input.
I assume you're talking about Inspection II since most folks seem to get Inspection I done under warrantee. My '07 si hit Inspection I at 40K miles and Inspection II at 100K.
Even though it's not as involved as on the M's Inspection II involves lots of little maintenance tasks (replace tranny and diff oil, new plugs and 02 sensor, flush coolant, etc...) There's a list of all the required tasks floating around somewhere on this site if you search.
As far as oil changes are concerned - don't believe the BMW recommended interval counter. If I were to go based on what the instrument panel recommends I'd do oil changes every 20K miles. Instead I've been putting in Mobil 1 0W40 every 7500 miles since the car was new. Some will say even that is too long and go with 5000 mi or less. The lack of dipstick on the si annoyed me at first, but I've gotten used to it. It helps that the oil level has never dropped more than about 1/2 quart over 7500 miles in the 100+K miles I've owned it.

Subframe Repairs - Who has had it done?

05 Models have the newer floor which is a stronger and more durable material.
BMW changed all part codes associated with the rear subframe area as they knew it was a defect and made changes to make sure the 05+ models were without the problems in the earlier models.
if you look at the link above, there's a new part for the rear axle support, number 16. Part 41007030266 is what's on the older M3s (pre 05) and 41117000246 is whats on the newer M3s (05+)
Did some more research. It seems like the subframe failure COULD BE (I emphasize COULD BE) because of all the rear bushings and lower wishbone failing and then putting extra stress on the rear subframe.
BMW did a change on the RTABs (rear trailing arm bushes) in 2005. The part number for the old RTABs #33322228153 is listed as pre 10/05 cars and #33326770817 is listed as post 10/05.
BMW also made changes with the ball joints of the trailing arm from #33321140345 to #33326775551, the lower wishbone from #33321092237 to #33326770813, the lower wishbone bushings from #33321092248 to #33326770824 and changed the eccentric bolt from #33326770877 to 33326772698. They also changed the rear axle carrier mounts on the left from #33312282113 to #33312283573 and the right ones from #33312282114 to #33312283574 and the mounts in the rear for both left and right from #33312282321 to #33312283419.

At Large in Ballard: An Ensemble
My daughter used to babysit for a family with a son, twin daughters and a dog. The girls were still babies and I loved hearing about this family because they I secretly wanted to belong. As they grew and if older brother was at a camp the girls would sometimes visit with my daughter and treat me to a dance performance. When the girls started kindergarten I got to see them go by on their school bus, always on the front seat, right behind the bus driver.
Over the years I learned that all of the children had taken up musical instruments, and that a bunny had joined the family. When in town my daughter would occasionally "babysit," but the children are all so competent that they increasingly seemed to be hosting her instead, making her their "cheesy diner" specials. When I heard that Katherine's cello ensemble would be playing at the Farmer's Market I made sure to get there. Every child plays an instrument in this family.
I will never cease to be amazed by children with musical talent. Seeing Katherine with other students and her Suzuki teacher Peter Williams on a beautiful Sunday morning was lovely. Katherine's mother introduced me to her teacher because he is about to launch his own teaching program here in Ballard rather than through the Suzuki Institute of Seattle.
I had heard of the Suzuki method but I didn't really understand its history or principles. What I learned from sitting down with lifelong Seattleite and Ballard resident Peter Williams is that the core of Suzuki is the belief that just as most children learn their mother tongue through language so too can music be introduced to a child, such that it becomes almost another language.
Looking at it from this angle it would seem that perhaps the musical talent isn't always genetic but part of child development, such as acquiring a love of reading and nature. Especially if a child is introduced to music, whether by parents or pre-school, or any combination thereof, they may become attuned to it and interested in the same way some kids have to seek out wolf spiders and others to illustrate their own books. Next thing you know a three to four year-old child might have a size appropriate cello on their back while hunting wolf spiders.
Peter Williams was a Suzuki student himself and now in the cyclical nature of things his mother is teaching Suzuki piano to his son and as a Certified Suzuki instructor he is teaching his nephew cello. How this begins is by ear, by listening and recreating the sound, working through the same songs and advancing through books until the child begins to read music. Reading music then leads to more of the Suzuki books, and in William's program, to participating in Cello Ensembles in which he has arranged music outside of the usual repertoire.
Williams brings additional experience to his Seattle Suzuki Cello program; that as a Special Needs parent and teacher. His soon to be seven year-old son Troy is autistic and the support he's found through organizations such as Boyer Children's Clinic prompts him to say, "I fell in love with the Special Needs community."
His after-school teaching schedule allows him to work as a paraprofessional substitute teacher for Special Needs in the Seattle Public School system. Approaches he has learned working with his own child and those with other behaviors aids him in music teaching. Twice weekly sessions include revisiting songs, working on new ones and games and activities to keep them inspired. When his Cello Ensemble plays at the Farmer's Market they get to divide the proceeds: that probably motivates.
Williams will be teaching private lessons in his home and then holding Cello Ensemble practice at Greenwood Senior Center. He would like to be able to do this in the future at the Sunset Hill Community Association building, as a Thistle Theater attendee and longtime admirer of the space. There is always a need for a venue for recitals and concerts in addition to ensemble practice sessions.
Although his students come from all over Seattle, and even further north, Williams would love to be able to center his teaching in the neighborhood where he lives and his son attends school.
Dr. Suzuki believed in helping to build a child's character first and their musical ability second. In this spirit Williams finds all Suzuki teachers to be extremely open to sharing their various insights and activities, as well as continually invigorated by adding very young students. Although Williams has performed extensively, as a member of the Tacoma Symphony and other engagements too numerous to list he doesn't teach with an agenda of preparing his students to be professional musicians. What he wants is for his students to love and enjoy what they're doing, to gain confidence.
As for my daughter's former charge, "Katherine really loves the cello," Williams told me. And I could tell by his smile that's what his method is all about. I no longer need to be in awe of children with musical talent, just admiring of adults who are able to help cultivate an additional mother tongue, one that sometimes includes a bow and a very large case.
Williams' classes are currently full. His forthcoming website will be SeattleSuzukiCello.com

Redesigning justice: Reducing crime through justice reinvestmentPublished Fri 29 Jul 2011
The report argues for a national policy in which offenders currently sentenced to six months or less (for crimes excluding robbery, violent or sexual crimes) are not sent to prison, but serve tough community sentences instead. To facilitate justice reinvestment, it recommends that local authorities should be given much greater responsibility for the management of low-level offenders and incentivised to keep them out of prison, but also out of trouble.
Developed on a case study conducted in the London borough of Lewisham, the report sets out the scale of the costs of imprisoning the local offender population and identifies the kind of budget that could be made available to a local area. It identifies, in practical terms, what such a local budget could be spent on and how it could be integrated with existing services on the ground, and outlines how, in practice, money could be made to flow around the system in order to make justice reinvestment work.
Note: second edition published in December 2011 - includes new appendix B 'Redesigning justice: local innovations'

The headlines in Spain following the usually frantic transfer deadline day were not of new signings for Spanish teams, but of a Spanish player moving between English clubs.
Fernando Torres is a World Cup winner so he remains big news in his homeland. He'd been linked to Barca where president Sandro Rosell is a big admirer, but where would he fit in?
And also to Madrid, but how could a lifelong Atleti fan play at the Bernabeu? Instead, he went for Chelsea and the sight of a few oddball Liverpool fans burning their Torres shirts made headlines in Iberia.
There was little else to report about Spanish clubs paying to bring in players. Second division Girona signed Lionel Messi's cousin Emanuel Biancucchi and the Barca B striker Ruben moved to Blackburn.
He was honest enough to admit that of the main reasons was money - or a relative lack of it in Spain compared to England. Barca B play in Spain's second division and their players are typically on up to €150,000 a year. They can earn two or three times as much playing in England's second tier, hence the influx of Spaniards at Swansea.
If you take away the big two, wages in Spain fall away sharply. Valencia used to be able to enter the ring with the heavyweights. The disparities have always been huge, but in 2007 their annual budget was €120m to Barça's €290m. Valencia's budget has stayed the same, while Barça's is €450 million and Madrid's even more.
Where once Valencia kept hold of their players and won the league as they did twice in the noughties, now they sell them to Barcelona and Manchester City. A huge disparity in television income received by clubs is one reason.
Whereas the English Premier league enjoys a collective agreement, in Spain Barca and Madrid get the lion's share - and then the tiger's, cheetah's and jaguar's share on top. This season Blackpool will get more domestic television money than Valencia, Champions League finalists in 2000 and 2001.
It's one reason why there was a 25 point-gap between Madrid in second and Sevilla in third last term, a statistic which did the credibility of the Primera Division no good and had critics comparing it to Scotland, calling it the 'SPLiga'.
The clubs have recognised the problem and a fairer agreement has been agreed by most, but it's still not that fair and clubs will still have to sell players to stay afloat.
Espanyol boast a fine young largely home-grown side this season, yet they sold two of their most promising defenders at the weekend to Milan and Napoli. It brought in a much needed €10 million for a club heavily in debt after building their new stadium, but left fans furious.
Victor Ruiz is a Barcelona born 22-year-old who had risen through the youth ranks. Didac Vila, six months younger and also Barcelona born did the same. Over 95 per cent of Espanyol fans polled were against their transfers.
They've seen their team rise to fifth in the table and have genuine hopes of a European place. Hopes now seriously damaged which leave some to question why they support their club, if they will only ever sell their best young players.
At least the departing youngsters hope to have a serious shot at first-team football in Italy.
Smaller clubs have always sold players to bigger, richer clubs, but never has the gap been so pronounced as now in Spain. It means that emerging talents are picked off before they've had chance to develop and fans have no chance to see their home-grown talents blossom.
Cantabrian youngster Sergio Canales joined Real Madrid last summer from his local side Racing Santander. Canales started 32 games for Racing last season and was a joy to watch as he demonstrated a technique that belied his youth.
The fans took their local young playmaker to their hearts... and then he was sold. He's started just one league game for Madrid this season. Would he have not been better off staying and improving at Racing?
And as much as people associate Spanish strikers called Fernando with Torres, there are as many people in Spain who now consider Athletic Bilbao's Fernando Llorente as the country's best player not at a club which regularly appears in the Champions League.
He's the star of an Athletic side who are having a good season and could finish in a European place - a fine achievement for a club who still only fields Basques. Yet barely a day goes by when he's not linked to Madrid or another giant, some of whom stockpile footballers seemingly for the sake of it in their 24 men squads.
It's Llorente's life, his career and his choice what he does. It's understandable if he wants Champions League football or more money, only natural that he wants to play in bigger stadiums alongside better footballers. Aged 25, he's spent more than enough time at San Mames since making his first team debut six years ago.
But wouldn't it be wonderful if he stayed where he is loved and took Athletic to better things? Or are the days of the local hero long gone and will he follow the other striking Fernando and move on?

Studios to Use CGI to Insert Paul Walker and Philip Seymour Hoffman in Films
Posted on March 23, 2014ABC News is reporting that studios plan to to use CGI to insert Paul Walker and Philip Seymour Hoffman in films. Both actors died recently. Paul Waker was killed in a car accident in November, 2013 and Hoffman died last month from a suspected overdose. Paul Waker will reportedly live on as Brian O'Conner in the seventh Fast and Furious movie, which is expect to begin filming this spring. Hoffman plays an import role as Head Gamemaker Plutarch Heavensbee in The Hunger Games series. Lionsgate says Hoffman completed his filming for Mockingjay Part 1 but they had seven days of filming still to go on Part 2.
In the past studios used body doubles when an actor died before filming was completed. Today studios have computer technology that can insert footage of actors into digital film. The technology has been used to bring back dead stars in advertising, such as when Audrey Hepburn footage was inserted in a new Dove chocolate commercial. Take a look:

UPDATE: Candidate Andrew Hughes challenges Congressman Jim McDermott; "Put your assets into blind trust"
Seattle Democrat, tax attorney Andrew Hughes, is running against Congressman Jim McDermott, 7th District, in the upcoming election. McDermott has won 12 consecutive elections, and is hoping for lucky 13. In our area, the 7th District includes West Seattle, Vashon Island, and portions of Burien, Normandy Park, and Sea Tac. It now extends north to Edmonds, while portions of the Central and International District have been pealed off of the District.
The 30 year-old candidate has garnered attention by raising a lot of money, $200,000 to date, and, on May 17, he rode his bicycle across Vashon Island then kayaked trip across Puget Sound the same day. The following morning he swam across Lake Burien, and began the first leg of a two-day, 30-mile walk ending up in Edmonds, the new northern boundary of the 7th Congressional District. Here is a map of the new boundaries.
Also running are Democrats Don Rivers and Charles Allen. Republican challengers include Scott Sutherland and Ron Bemis. Third Party candidate Goodspaceguy is also running. The primary is August 7. The top two vote-getters, regardless of party, will go on the general election. (Ballotpedia)
Hughes challenge to Cong. McDermott:
Hughes today issued a challenged the 24-year incumbent to immediately put his investment assets into a blind trust. Hughes pledges to do the same if he wins, he said, and calls on all Congressional members to follow suit.
According to Wiki: Politicians or others in sensitive positions often place their personal assets (including investment income) into blind trusts, to avoid public scrutiny and accusations of conflicts of interest when they direct government funds to the private sector.
According to the challengers website "McDermott Truth" In June of 2004, Congressman Jim McDermott invested 10% of his personal assets in the small Canadian pharmaceutical firm ID Biomedical. At that time, ID Biomedical stood to benefit massively from the passage of the "Project Bioshield" Bill, which two weeks earlier, had passed the U.S. Senate.
Project Bioshield was run through Congress at a time of widespread public fear of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) and avian flu, for which ID Biomedical developed vaccines. Six weeks later, The House of Representatives passed Project Bioshield with a yes vote from Congressman McDermott.
"Public service should not be self-service," said Hughes in a press statement. "Members should be mandated by legislation to place their assets to place their assets into a blind trust for the duration of their time in office."
If elected, Hughes would sponsor legislation similar to H.R. 3549, known as the Congressional Blind Trust Act of 2011, which would amend the Ethics in Government Act of 1978 to require members of Congress to place their stocks, bonds, commodities futures, and other forms of securities into blind trust.
"This is the only way we can insure that no member of Congress is tempted, intentionally or otherwise, to nibble at the forbidden fruit," Hughes said, who wants McDermott to "lead by example" in the absence of such legislation."
Seattle SuperSonics Stadium position & Port:
"The Port, all the way from Ballard to downtown, historically has been the economic engine of our area. That's crucial. We can't undermine them at all. In fact we have to insure that they are promoted because that is countless jobs that might potentially be moved off. Vancouver is investing heavily to make their port more efficient. They are investing in rail. The day when (shipping companies) can save a day or two they will chose to go where they can save time.
"I haven't seen the exact traffic issues but in my opinion there are concerns about the proximity to the Port. If the Port believes the stadium is going to undermine its ability to flow, this has to be weighed heavily. There are other options. We definitely have to have a viable place for the SuperSonics to play in, but the SODO arena I don't think is necessarily the answer. That port is going to be the livelihood of SODO, and Seattle, for the future. The Sonics are definitely part of who we are, but we should bring them back in a way that is beneficial to all parties."
Cong. McDermott's dominance
"We can honor and respect Jim for his service, but at a certain point of time we have to invest in the future, promoting modern ideas." Referring to McDermott: "There is a lack of effort by people who feel they are really safe, like they don't have to show up. They put their name on the ballot and theory have the coronation ceremony and are anointed again for another two years. People are tired of feeling that their vote doesn't matter. They want legislation written in a way that is accessible. There is a lot of claim going on but not a lot of delivery.
"People understand that at a certain point of time, after being part of the system for so long, it is impossible not to become disconnected. The idea of a citizen legislator who is from their community, who chooses to serve, then goes back to work their small business or farm, those days are gone. As a career politician you lose that sense of urgency.
"Thirty percent of the 7th District is brand new. That means you have 30 percent of voters who never voted for McDermott.
"My expertise is tax law. Right now we're talking about revenue shortage and how to support programs and invest in infrastructure and our communities. That's an expertise that is so essential, being able to free up that revenue to make a fairer and more equitable code and then redirect that, and I am one of only a handful of people with that background to tackle that- The creation of more economic equality and make sure that people who invest in the system get back a return be it an equal opportunity to get an education, roads that are paved, bridges that are built, a power grid that can pave the way for alternative energy in the future. We need revenue to do that and the tax code is the source of the revenue to do that."
Hughes, a tax attorney, graduated from Seattle University School of Law and received his Masters in taxation (LLM) from the University of Washington Law School. He also received a Masters in Theory & History of International Relations from the London School of Economics.
His parents, Jill and Robin, operated a bed and breakfast in Poulsbo, the Manor Farm Inn, which was featured in the July-August, 1991 edition of "Martha Stewart Living." It was a 26-acre, fully-functioning farm.
"I grew up working the farm, collected the eggs, cleaned the stalls, did house keeping, waited tables, kept the books. It was a wonderful way to grow up. We could play outside. At the same time, we had to learn how hard it was to make a family business work."

The View's Elisabeth Hasselbeck Talks about Her Gluten-Free Cookbook and Gluten-Free Recipes
By Michelle Edelbaum, "A New View on Food ," March/April 2012
Elisabeth Hasselbeck changed her diet, but kept her love of cooking, after being diagnosed with celiac disease.
"I highly doubt she has true Celiac's, just one more way for her to use the hell out of her husbands name. Now that I know Hassleback recipes are in reference to her 'alleged' celiac (since only 4% of the population actually has this...
When she's not co-hosting the Emmy Award-winning ABC talk show The View, running or playing with her three young children, you can find Elisabeth Hasselbeck in her kitchen. Hasselbeck, who has celiac disease, recently published her first gluten-free cookbook, Deliciously G-Free (Ballantine Books, 2012). We caught up with the celebrity to talk about her love of cooking.
You got your start in television as a contestant on Survivor 2 in 2001. How did it change your diet?
I hadn't been in great health since 1997—I was in a constant state of discomfort. After three days in Australia I started to feel better. While everyone else was crumbling I had energy! I was eating rice, and fish if we could catch it, and that was pretty much it. When I came home I started eating all the food I previously ate and felt sick again. I thought, "Either I'm really allergic to the United States or it's something I'm eating." Once I removed gluten from my diet I started to feel as good as I had in Australia.
You come from an Italian family that loves to cook. How do you balance that with being gluten-free?
While working on the cookbook, my mom and I made a gluten-free version of my grandmother's penne and meatballs recipe. I closed my eyes at the table while I was eating it and my daughter Grace said, "Mommy, are you remembering what it was like to be little?" I was literally brought back in time. It was so nice to have that moment with my family.
