Elkhorn Wildlife Area Program
(1) The Commission approves the preferred alternative "A" identified in the Public Review Draft of the Elkhorn Wildlife Area program distributed on May 20, 1986. Approval of this alternative authorizes Department purchase, easement or lease of private properties in order to continue operation of the existing Elkhorn Wildlife Area Program. The Commission also approves documentation presented in the Public Review Draft of the Elkhorn Wildlife Area program and documents attached thereto and the July 7, 1986 Statewide Goal Compliance and Local Land Use Plan Compatibility Report issued by and available from the Department of Fish and Wildlife at its Salem headquarters office.
(2) The Commission finds that:
(a) Continuation of the current Elkhorn Wildlife Area program will reduce big game damage to agricultural and forest uses by providing alternative feed sources at specific locations under controlled and timely circumstances;
(b) The program will enable numbers of big game to be maintained at a level providing optimal hunting and other recreational opportunities;
(c) Equitable and orderly enjoyment of wildlife will be enhanced by the public access to be made available on the lands or interest therein acquired for the feeding program; and
(d) The benefits of continuing the existing program exceed costs of reducing or discontinuing the program by assuring the economic contribution of recreational hunting to the state and local economy while reducing or eliminating big game damage.

(1) To mitigate the loss of traditional big game winter range areas along the north, west and south portions of the Powder River Valley through habitat management and a supplemental feeding program.
(2) To provide supplemental or subsistence feed for wintering elk and deer to alleviate damage to private lands.
(3) To provide habitat for big game animals and other wildlife indigenous to the area.
(4) To provide hunting and other wildlife oriented recreation opportunities for the general public.

Implementation of Policies
Implementation of the Elkhorn Wildlife Area Program entails the following actions:
(1) Purchase, easement or long-term lease of the five privately owned sites presently used for feeding or comparable sites in the same vicinity. Purchases of the Roth porperty at Hunt Mountain and the Alpine Veneer property at Muddy Creek shall receive immediate priority.
(2) Maintain habitat developments and damage control activities at levels necessary to complement the feeding program to assure damage is controlled to the maximum extent possible.
(3) Limit the number of wintering elk fed to a maximum of 1,400 elk in the Elkhorn region in order to continue and maintain the current operation. The number of deer to be fed is not specifically limited.
(4) The Elkhorn region is defined as that area east of the crest of the Elkhorn Mountains, west of Interstate 84, north of Township 11 South, W.M. and south of Township 4 South, W.M. The Elkhorn Wildlife Area is defined as the areas in that region owned by, leased to or under easement to the Department where specific site(s) are used for feeding.
(5) Annually test big game animals to determine whether disease problems exist at feeding stations.
(6) Develop and submit, for approval by Baker and/or Union Counties, those applications that may be required by each county's respective acknowledged land use plan and zoning ordinance to allow big game feeding stations. Applications will address the specific local land use approval standards acknowledged by the Land Conservation and Development Commission. Such standards may include but may not be limited to: Anticipated or needed programs for green forage; need for elk proof fencing; the location of roads and barns; etc.
(7) The Elkhorn Wildlife Area Plan shall specifically accept and address future programs approved by the Fish and Wildlife Commission (including those recommended by the Wildlife Damage Task Force) that reduce or alleviate game damage at any season.

Despite the devastation around them, the residents of Toolangi have vowed to stay and defend their town as Victoria's bushfires continue to rage.
About 200 people - almost aquarter of the town's population - remain in the pristine hamlet north of Healesville - determined to save their homes with the little resources available to them.
The Country Fire Authority told a community meeting this morning not to expect a "fire truck in your driveway" or a "knock on your front door" if the blaze rips through the town.
"Don't leave late, start thinking about it now," a CFA officer told the crowd.
"Stay calm, we've got time on our hands, as soon as we get stressed we are going to make stupid decisions."
Few admit to being nervous, and most are adamant they can defeat the looming fire as debate rages about whether the longstanding policy of "stay-and-defend or leave early" should be revised.
Ernie Hartnall and his wife Robyn said they had no fear despite acknowledging Toolangi could be obliterated in the same way as nearby Kinglake and Marysville.
"Year after year, every summer for 42 years, you sit and wait and watch and wonder is it going to happen," Mr Hartnall said.
"You know that fire is a part of your life I will stay and fight even if it means risking my life."
A community fire watch runs in shifts and three chairs are set up on the main road.
Thick black smoke has blanketed the area as fire burns "in all directions".
"We are literally surrounded on all sides," resident Steve Meacher said.
"We have been really fortunate so far."
Ten houses on Toolangi's northern fringe were destroyed in a blaze on Saturday - the rest of the town was left untouched.
Two bodies were reportedly found in a burnt-out car that had flipped on Old Toolangi Road.
The town has been on alert for five days, and is one of the areas that could come under threat if the worst fears of firefighters are realised and two major fires merge when weather conditions worsen next week.
It remains a green oasis amid the blackened landscape for miles around.
"If you don't stay you will lose your home, it's as simple as that," Karen Thaller said.
"Everyone who left on Saturday lost their homes but we didn't because we stayed."
Michelle and Peter Gough were told to evacuate and fled to the town's `safe house' in - a nearby property owned by Bo Van De Von.
Together they battled the fire as it came within metres of the house. Their 16-year-old daughter Shea, who has a broken foot, stamped out embers with her crutches.
She asked her mother: "Who will come to my funeral?"
The town has been without electricity since Saturday and people are relying on generators to power their homes.
Food supplies arrived from Diamond Creek yesterday - the first delivery in almost a week as roads to the town remain blocked.
Many Toolangi residents have been affected by the loss of friends from neighbouring towns. A doctor and a counsellor are already in town to help with their grieving, with an army counsellor to join them soon.
Mrs Gough is praying for a bit of luck. But with increasingly fire-friendly conditions forecast for the weekend and early next week, the residents of Toolangi aren't off the hook yet.
"Fires came through here in `56 and missed the township, so I am hoping it is a lucky spot and will miss us again," she said.

I have a 3M MP8750, 1500 ANSI Lumen DLP showing up in a few hours, if FedEx can drive next 10 miles without screwing up... then again it is Christmas Eve and who knows!!!
Any way, while I will be buying a VuTec Wall screen, I want to experiment where and how big to project on 12' tall, 11' wide wall. Maximum width that I can probably use is 80" without fighting with my wife... so, what sort of paint can I use to paint this wall so that colors are not all that off till I decide on a size and location. Any help will be appreciated.
FLAT, pure white paint. Also called MATTE. Do not use a gloss paint. You may also find a super white or titanium white paint. Just make sure it is FLAT, not gloss.
Thanks for your help. I guess I will be the only one shopping for paint day after Christmas... I am sure I will be asked "Isn't it kind of late ?". But who cares!
Thanks for all your input. I bought a quart of Ralph Lauren Design Studio White Interior Matte for $8.99 from Home Depot. I was very pleased with the results. Eagles Hell Freezes Over DVD has lots of whites and solid colors.... I was amazed by the quality of color reproduction by this paint, when combined with 3M-MP8750 projector, which has been quoted as having slight yellowish tint to its white!!!
Hi gireesh,
now we are three people (you, Falk and me) having this projector. I hope you enjoy it.
I just mounted my new specially designed Da-Lite cosmopolitan screen (16:9 with a lot of black top and bottom drop and extra wide black masking at the sides) and I am very happy with it. Be sure to have a black masking arround the screen to suppress the slightly bright area around the image. I would certainly recommend to go with a 16:9 screen or when money is no object http://www.avsforum.com/ubb/smile.gif , with a 4:3 screen and motorized masking from top and bottom to adapt the visable screen to the aspect ratio. This gives a much better appearance of the image.

After the balls stop bouncing and the layup drills cease at this week's Travis Hansen basketball camp, Travis and LaRee Hansen hope basketball skills aren't the only thing their campers learned.
Rewind to 2003 as Hansen, the former Mountain View High and Brigham Young University player, signed a two-year contract to play professional basketball in Russia. Eager to start a family, the young couple endured a miscarriage on a failed in vitro attempt. LaRee Hansen began visiting the orphanages in Russia.
What she found rocked her to her core.
"The main thing to me was there was no foster care and the kids were placed in orphanages," said LaRee Hansen. "Some of these kids were never told they were loved, never hugged or kissed, and I know that is what made me the person that I am."
Campers in Lehi this week will get their fair share of basketball tutelage, but a focus of the camp will be making welcome kits for patients at Primary Children's Medical Center. "We always bring in a rep from the organization we are going to help," said Travis Hansen. "The kids really see the struggles of others and are able to experience it and do something about it."
Last year, campers discovered needs for homeless people in Spanish Fork. New school materials, shoes and hygiene kits for the youth were hand delivered.
Money raised from the camp will go directly to the Hansens' foundation, Little Heroes, which came to life after LaRee discovered the lack of love in a Russian orphanage.
"Just like our slogan says, we hope to instill the hero within," said Travis Hansen. "Each child is so important and valuable and when they have confidence they can do anything and be anything they want."
Since Little Heroes began operations in 2007, the nonprofit has renovated orphanages in Russia, built several schools in Mali and made possible 192 adoptions.
"We are on this Earth for a reason, and if these kids find out what they are here to do, they will accomplish some great things," said LaRee Hansen.
This year's camp featured BYU men's basketball coach Dave Rose and former BYU standout Marty Haws as speakers.
Camp for kids
P Former Mountain View and BYU standout Travis Hansen is hosting a basketball camp in Lehi, July 6-8. Benefits from the event go directly to the Little Heroes Foundation.
The Hansens, Travis and LaRee, have a deep affection for the less fortunate, and began the Little Heroes Foundation after touring orphanages in Russia.
Campers attending the 2011 Travis Hansen camp are building welcome kits for patients staying at Primary Children's Medical Center.

10 Of The World's Most Inspirational Female Athletes
Call it dedication, call it sweat-soaked passion, but don't call it talent. These influential athletes have regularly re-defined their respective sports, and each has paved the way for other aspiring Olympians in their own unique way. Watch Jordan's #RISEABOVE EXPECTATIONS video about an amazing Iraqi girl who overcomes cultural challenges all in the name of basketball.
1. Lisa Leslie
One of the most recognizable faces in women's basketball, Lisa Leslie has repeatedly blazed trails both on and off the court. This four-time US Olympic team participant has broken numerous records in the WNBA, and holds the honor of winning the regular season MVP, All-Star Game MVP, and playoff MVP all in the same season. She's also a mother, an author, a professional sports commentator, and the co-owner of her former team, the Los Angeles Sparks.
2. Bethany Hamilton
It's hard to get more inspirational than 22-year-old Bethany Hamilton, who overcame a devastating shark attack to return to the professional surfing circuit. Hamilton later penned an autobiography, which would serve as the basis for the 2011 feature film, Soul Surfer.
3. Sheryl Swoopes
The first player to ever be signed to the WNBA, Sheryl Swoopes remains one of the league's shining stars. Regularly referred to as the "female Michael Jordan," basketball superstar Swoopes has won three Olympic gold medals, an NCAA championship, three MVP awards, and four WNBA titles during her time on the court.
4. Alice Coachman
Not only did high jumper Alice Coachman overcome the adversity inherent to being an African American athlete in the then-segregated south, she made history as the first female to win an Olympic gold medal when she participated in the 1948 competition. This fiercely dedicated athlete and eight-time Hall of Fame inductee is widely considered one of the nation's most respected Olympians, and still actively encourages young athletes through her nonprofit organization, the Alice Coachman Track and Field Foundation.
5. Dara Torres
Influential international swimmer and twelve-time Olympic medalist Dara Torres is hailed as one of the most renowned athletes to ever attempt the sport, and rightfully so. Torres made waves a few years back when, at the age of 40 and having just delivered her first child fifteen months prior, she swam home with the gold medal in the 100-meter freestyle at the U.S. Nationals in Indianapolis.
6. Anne Donovan
Basketball Hall of Famer Anne Donovan's impressive résumé casts her as a three-time Olympian (and two-time gold medalist), the women's basketball coach at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, a superstar professional basketball player, and a well-respected full-time coach for the Seton Hall Pirates. Few players are able to make such an indelible impact both on and off the court, but Anne Donovan remains as one of the sport's most influential figures.
7. Mia Hamm
How about this for a national record: soccer superstar Mia Hamm has scored more international goals than any other player — that means male or female — in the entirety of American soccer. This World Cup winner has consistently shattered records and elevated the sport of soccer in every game she played in, leading FIFA to name her as one of the 125 best living soccer players, as well as their FIFA World Player of the Year in both 2001 and 2002.
8. Serena Williams
The name Serena Williams has all but become synonymous with the sport of tennis since her professional debut in 1995. This super-athlete has held the title of world no. 1 on five different occasions, and is the most recent player — and only the fifth woman in history — to hold all four Grand Slam singles titles at the same time.
9. Michelle Wie
This golf course prodigy made headlines when she won the U.S. Women's Open at the ripe age of 13, and she continues to be one of the most talked about female athletes to grace the green. Nicknamed "The Big Wiesy" for her beanstalk 6'1" stature, Wie is widely considered to be a golf wunderkind, though the sport has recently taken a backseat to her studies at Stanford University.
10. Teresa Edwards
Cited by Sports Illustrated as one of the 100 greatest female athletes of the 20th century, Teresa Edwards is widely applauded as one of the best female basketball players to ever step foot on a court. Holding the honor of being both the youngest and oldest Olympic gold medalist in women's basketball (she took the gold at the age of 20 in 1984, and at 36 in 2000), this five-time medalist and Women's Basketball Hall of Famer still holds the national record for most points scored in a women's basketball game.

North Spokane Fred Meyer closing in January
SPOKANE, Wash. - Fred Meyer employees at the North Spokane store were told Wednesday morning that the store is closing.
The store is on the 500 block of East Francis Avenue.
According to Melinda Merrill with Fred Meyer Public Affairs, the store is closing because it was unable to re-negotiate a lease with its current landlord that would allow it to be profitable.
Each of the 167 employees will be offered a position in other stores around Spokane. Merrill also said all employees will retain their seniority and pay rate.
The store opened in 1975. This will be the first Fred Meyer closure in nearly a decade.
The store will close on Jan. 31, 2013.

Beyonce Knowles Is Marie Claire UK Cover Girl for October
Sexy R&B star Beyonce Knowles will be featured on the next cover of Marie Claire UK magazine this coming October. Beyonce looks pretty hot and sexy in the front page, and kudos to the graphic artists whose behind all of this. I guess celebrities can't live without Photoshop nowadays. This newly made masterpiece really did make Beyonce look younger by five days.
And if you have the slightest intention of reading the magazine's headline: It says there that "Beyonce is back and ready to shock!" Yeah, I was totally shocked by her skin's tan color; it's totally outright for her L'Oreal whitening ad. Anyways, the October 2008 issue is going to cover talks about her alter ego, her being a pop star, a role model, and her personal views about politics. You know the usual stuff you read about celebrities on magazines..bla bla bla..

- Do you think cats are smarter than people?
- Do you bring new boyfriends home so the cats can meet them?
- Do you later break up with them because the cats weren't impressed?
- Can you tell your cats apart by the roughness of their tongues?
- Do you buy more than one kind of cat food because a few of your cats are picky eaters?
- Is the sheet of instructions for watching your cats while you're on vacation longer than a page?
- Do you spend more on Christmas presents for your cat than for your family?
And she's under ten bucks at Amazon.

I've not had time to do this image from Flourishes' Beauty Within set up with glitter and acetate yet. It was worth the wait!
I stamped the image with Stazon ink on acetate. On the reverse side of the image, I colored the acetate with the Copic Markers shown below.
Next I ran the image through the Xyron machine and covered the back with silver glitter. I used Spellbinders Labels Thirteen dies to frame my image.
Just a reminder....the One Crazy Stamper challenge this month is flowers! If you have time, join us for the fun! There is a generous gift certificate to One Crazy Stamper for a random participant. Good Luck!!

Two recent trends—the plummeting cost of storage and the widespread adoption of data warehouse technology—have led to an increasing interest in temporal databases. Indeed, the idea of maintaining and processing historical data has become not just a goal but a reality for many organizations. As a consequence, the ability to deal properly with the time dimension in databases has become an increasingly important practical problem. And today's mainstream DBMS products are (at last, some might say) beginning to include features that are specifically designed to help with this important requirement—though it has to be said too that the support currently found in those products falls a long way short of the theoretical ideal.
This video seminar describes and explains that theoretical ideal—which, interestingly, is 100% consistent with the classical relational model—in depth. It also describes the new temporal support to be found in the SQL standard ("SQL:2011"), as well as in certain of today's major SQL products.
The seminar overall falls into four major parts:
The seminar is aimed primarily at technical specialists, though managers should benefit from it too (most of the technical material needed to understand the overall message is included in the seminar itself).
C.J. Date has a stature that is unique within the database industry. C.J. is a prolific writer, and is well-known for his best-selling textbook: An Introduction to Database Systems (Addison Wesley). C.J. is an exceptionally clear-thinking writer who can lay out principles and theory in a way easily understood by his audience.

Comments about oreilly Temporal Data and Relational Theory:
The lectures are almost nine hours and they are full of material. The lecture series starts with quick freshener on relational theory it is followed by logical build up of theory to include any kind of interval data and time intervals in special. The last hour was about how this is (not) supported (properly) in SQL products.I was hoping for more concrete solutions to implement temporal variables, but those were not promised on the description of the lectures, so I can't blame them for not including it. But there was a slight omission which I'm not happy about. These lectures were filmed live lectures and the participants received slides before and few slides were totally skipped. They could have been visible even for a second in order to us to see them.The style was minimalistic (I like it that way) and the lecturer was clear speaker and all of the questions were repeated so that recording captured them as well.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

UCSD-CSU box score
By Nic Hallisey
Athletic Media Relations
THORNTON, Colo.—The CSU Rams played their inaugural game at the new Veterans Memorial Aquatic Center (VMAC), but UC San Diego spoiled the homecoming, defeating CSU, 14-11, on Thursday afternoon.
Playing its first game as a ranked program, No. 20 CSU (0-5 – against five nationally ranked teams) gave the No. 14 Tritons all they could handle.
The game got off to a slow start, seeing just three goals in the first period, but both offenses heated up as the game progressed. A goal by UC San Diego's Sarah Lizotte put the Tritons (1-0) on top, 4-1, with six minutes, 35 seconds to play in the second period, but the Rams would claim five of the next six points to take their first lead of the game, 6-5, with 6:30 to play in the third stanza.
The two teams would alternate goals over the next two minutes, but with 4:54 to play and the Rams a player down due to penalty, UC San Diego scored to knot the score up at 7-7. The Tritons recorded two more goals over the next 1:49 to take a 9-7 lead, and they held the lead the remainder of the game.
"It was a heartbreaker," coach Mike Moody said. "The girls were well-trained, but UC San Diego is a very well-coached and disciplined team. We made a lot of stupid mistakes, and we need to do a better job with defense."
Costly turnovers hurt the Rams, as well as 12 ejections, one of which led to a goal via penalty show.
Lauren Porteus paced CSU with three goals, including two in the fourth period. Amber Bryan, Kelcy Barott and Caroline Young each had a pair of goals. CSU had difficulty defending Lizotte, who scored six of her team's goals on the afternoon.
Despite the loss, Moody was excited about playing competition in the VMAC for the first time. The state-of-the-art aquatic facility became home to the Rams this season.
"It was a great atmosphere," he said. "It's a great aquatic center, and we enjoy playing games and practicing here."
The Rams will have more than a week before their next competition. They travel to the Princeton Invite Feb. 9-10.

I doubt it. This is how humans think, not how dogs think. He is more likely less responsive to you because you don't know how to handle him.
So you wouldn't have gotten this dog, you would have gotten a different, lower maintenance dog. But you're resentful that you are taking up the slack.
Well, don't take it up. Let your husband walk and groom him. Not your problem.
Yipes! Pull out all the stops and talk her out of it unless she's prepared to devote a huge amount of time to her dog. Border collies are extremely intelligent and athletic (since the breed was developed for herding), so they're only happy if they're working hard both physically and mentally.

I forgot to respond to that one earlier... absolutely absolutely NOT good for a Border Collie. They are very high needs. I love BCs but did not get one (well, not knowingly) because of how much I know about the breed. They are not content just sitting around. Very smart dog.... which usually translates into a lot of trouble.
Well I read this whole post and frankly, I'm glad it's here. Just because I got a lot out of it. I don't like my dog, but I care for her very much. And I had kind of forgotten about her in the mix of the new baby, yadda yadda, until I had to come to this pet board to ask for help.
This entire thread has been a very interesting read. Makes me want to go show my dog some actual affection and give her a cookie. After all, she loves me unconditionally all the time, 24/7/365 for eternity, no questions asked, and I only love her when the conditions are right for me. Not fair to her at all.
They're all our dogs and our responsibility and those of us that don't particularly "like" our family dogs will just have to suck it up, or rescue it out.
I'm gonna suck it up, and I think I'll actually remember when I truly did like her and thought she was fun instead of thinking of her like some tired old burden.
There is one way to avoid the Lance Armstrong dog, IME. Adopt an elderly dog. THen you may indeed get your desired couch carcass.
Perpetually breastfeeding or pregnant ENFP mom to a lot of kids...wife to a midwestern nice guy...living in tropical paradise...pink cats and homebirths rock!
And I would, did I not already have a house full of other people's discarded pets.
I am finally admitting to myself that I didn't know what I was getting into when I got her. Also, I got unexpectedly pregnant all of two months after I got her. That didn't help. She's about a year and a half old now, still really a puppy.
Perpetually breastfeeding or pregnant ENFP mom to a lot of kids...wife to a midwestern nice guy...living in tropical paradise...pink cats and homebirths rock!
No, trust us, we get it. We've all got kids and we've all got huge demands on our time. But it hurts my heart to see people hating their dogs for things that are so ridiculously solvable--at their hearts, in terms of what they need, dogs are very simple creatures; meet those needs and they are generally a joy to live with. And they are living creatures, extremely intelligent living creatures, who are tortured when they cannot live with their pack (their family).
The person who wrote that the answers for dogs are often the same as for toddlers was very correct. The dog is dirty? No duh. You would be too if you never got bathed; bathe the dog! The dog sheds? Switch his diet and GROOM! The dog chews things? He's bored, probably desperately bored. Exercise (this is the huge piece missing from most dogs' lives), provide better toys. The dog is nuts inside the house? It's because he's so desperately overjoyed to be in the house because he's been tortured living outside and alone. Move him inside, get him a crate or a safe room, exercise him.
MDC is all about empowering moms to do better for their families--this is where you've GOT to get empowered to put these relatively easy things into place to make your dog a lovely animal to be with.
It isn't a money thing; it isn't a training thing; it's a respect thing--on both sides. You become the type of owner that makes the dog act in respectful ways--such as not charging through doors, not taking your food or the kids' food, not being obnoxious--and you respect the dog for what he or she is, a climax predator who MUST be inside with his or her pack and whose body was built to go 20 miles a day. Every dog, from pug to poodle, is like owning Lance Armstrong or Laird Hamilton. If you put Lance and Laird in your living room, fed them hamburger helper every meal, and let them walk around your block once a day, pretty soon they would dismantle your living room and build a stairclimber and a treadmill from your drywall and your couch.
That's exactly what dogs do. They wake up every morning with an evolutionary need to travel long distances and work for meat, bone, and blood, but we get furious at them when they build treadmills (eat the couch, dig through the linoleum) and work for their food (open cupboards, steal bread), and we feed them crap and don't give them what they need to stay healthy.
Again, nobody has to be in love with their dog. But what I am reading, over and over, is not that you hate your dog; you hate the static that surrounds a bored and uncared-for dog. You, ANYONE, *can* remove that static; it's not "real" and it's not the normal personality of your dog.
Book-lovin', relaxed homeschoolin', dog snugglin' mom of the best kid EVER! AND...waiting for baby #2, due 5/9/14!

Bikes versus cars: the Cambridge experience
So far as the rules of the road go, there seems to be one basic principle: when you are driving a car you hate bikes, when you are riding a bike you hate cars (and I guess pedestrians hate everyone).
There is an obvious difference of perspective built in here. It wasn't until I started to drive a car (almost 20 years after I had first whizzed round on a bike) that I actually realised that you could not see a cyclist at night without lights. In fact I now want to shout at late night cyclists without lights (like motorists once did at me): "You'll get killed, sunshine, I can't see you."
The problem is that cyclists do ride headlong into danger. It's not just not having lights. It's biking on pavements (and so threatening to mow down a load of innocent pedestrians in the process) and biking blithely down one way streets the wrong way.
I confess that I do bike the wrong way down a one way street sometimes. My (feeble) defence is that I try always to do it as if I know I was doing wrong. That is slowly, with an apologetic look on the face, and ready to get off at any minute. I cant bear the guys (usually, but not always it is guys) who do it as if they owned the place, and at high speed.
So cyclists are not entirely innocent. But the dice are stacked against them, because the bottom line is that a car or a lorry can kill a cyclist and not vice versa. And motorists are too confident that they are in the right. Even when they are wrong, as I just discovered.
A cfew days ago we -- that's me and the husband -- took a cab to the station. Chat with the driver fell to the evils of cyclists, to the lack of training given by foreign languages schools (true, many of them do seem to let the students out on the road with precious little preparation), and their misunderstanding of the highway code.
Sometimes, he conceded, the cycle tracks do mislead them. I thought he was referring to the end of our road in Cambridge, where suddenly the cycle track in the middle of the highway just disappear and motorists are encouraged to cross it. What, I have always wondered, is a cyclist supposed to do if a car just cuts them, as is apparently allowed.
But no, he was referring to a standard road junction.. to which we were just arriving (from a side road). Look, he said, pointing to the main road, that cycle track suggests they do have the right of way, when they come up Station Road, but they dont.
Had I been brave enough , I would have said that (cycle track or no cycle track) they DID have right of way. They were on the main road, he was coming up on the minor intersection. But I fear I chickened out. The fact is, though, that this Cambridge cabbie (and I am sure it's not true for all Cambridge cabbies ) thought he -- as a car driver -- had right of way at a junction, even when he was on the minor road. And I am sure if I had explored further, he would have thought all other falsehoods about how cyclist were supposed to give way to him.
Cyclists beware!

awesome trainers and diets ive lost 27 nhalf lbs
This app/website is great !! I am able to get all of health and fitness questions answered and the site and app are super easy to navigate. Thanks Live Body Coach !! ..and a thanks to my health professional Leighton !!
Had an awesome experience with the system. Everything from exercise plans to meal plans helped me out a lot. Lost some body fat and feel good. Overall solid in my book.
This company makes incessant automated phone calls to homes. I went to the website to try and get a contact number and make it stop and because I logged in, they charged me money for a membership. I called them and asked them to not charge me and they assured me that the phone calls and the charges would end/not occur, and then they charged me. Another phone call, and they refuse to refund the charges. It is a scam related to products I purchased, Natural Cleanse and Lipo Slender.

Strawberry Healthy Food Guide (Page 3)
Pictured Recipe: Strawberry-Mango Margarita Compote
How to Pick the Best Strawberries
Shopping Tip: Strawberries do not ripen further after picking. So it is important to choose plump, bright red berries, as white- or green-tipped strawberries are lacking in flavor. Don't overlook the little ones—small strawberries are often sweeter than big oness. Strawberries should be free of mold and bruises. Caps should be attached, green and fresh looking. Produce with thin or edible skin is more susceptible to pesticide contamination, and strawberries are no exception, according to the Environmental Working Group. In fact, strawberries rank high on the group's Shopper's Guide to Pesticides. If your budget allows, we suggest buying organic strawberries. One pound of strawberries will yield about 4 cups hulled or about 3 cups sliced.

Location: Beverly MA
Car Model: 2002 WRX
I'm 25. I'm the Technology Administrator for the LyonWaugh AutoGroup. I bought my WRX on December 9, 2006 built to it's current spec by Tony @ XX Tuning, Shiv at Vishnu and done by it's previous owner, Doug. Doug was kind enough to GREATLY want my Saab Aero in trade + cash.
I'm a rather talented wrench and engineer when it comes to cars and technology, but I work in the Tech business so I don't lose my passion for automobiles.
I've been interested in a drifting since 1997 when I first started driving in the snow. I've been into VWs and BMWs for a LONG time and have become VERY adept at driving in inclement conditions and figured the next step is to actually just get a 4WD car and hone that skill.
I make t-shirts with wacky car logos on them. My Driving Slap Apparel, my ihateevos apparel
I've also been the organizer of MANY car shows in New England for the VW crowd, most famously: Rabbitation 2001.
Welcome!!! its always nice to see another wagon joining the group!! Cool Tshirts too, gonna have to order me a battlewagon shirt later tonight
Mod List
So I hear this is where all the cool kids hang out ...
Name: Nicholas Predko (People call me Pred, Nick or Predko)
Location: Portsmouth NH (moving from Kittery to Portsmouth in a couple weeks)
Car Model: 2007 Subaru WRX in WRB
I'm 22 going on 23 soon enough. This is my second Subaru, my first was a used 2004 2.5RS in Black. Traded up to the '07 when I moved back to New England in October. Grew up in Londonderry NH, then I went to NHTI in Concord NH for a couple years and got a Criminal Justice degree. From there I joined the U.S. Coast Guard. Was stationed in Boston on one of the 270' Cutters for about 6 months. Then I went to OS A-School in Petaluma California for about 4 months. Was assigned to Coast Guard Headquarters in Washington D.C. for about a year.
Then I requested a transfer (more or less) and got to come back up home to New England where I'm not stationed in the Communications Center at Sector Northern New England in South Portland Maine. So if you're a boater and in distress you'll probably be talking to me on the radio to get help.
You'll see me on I-95 typically driving to work, or you'll see me heading out Route 33 to Route 108 heading to Newmarket to hang with some old friends from college. One of them, my best friend, drives a 2006 WRX TR in WRB. I'll see if I can convince him to join up but he isn't much of a computer guy so I'll probably have to hold his hand through it (figuratively speaking of course).
If you want to know any more feel free to ask.
Oh, and my modding will probably be on hold for a while. I'm torn between doing up some rally inspired mods (light bar, skid plate, suspension stuff) and some street stuff. My mods will probably end up being a mixture that is easily changed from summer look to winter look, hopefully.
Now off to complete the "signing up" process!
Welcome aboard! Newest Subie in NE F4 to date, I believe.
1972 Corvette - LS6 / T56 powered
I'll be averaging 22,000 miles on it the car for it's first 2 years by my estimations. But a car is meant to be driven and it's only for the last 2 years I'm in the Coast Guard.
Then I'll be employed by a Southern NH Police Department (hopefully in the Rockingham County area) and my driving on the subaru will drop by at least 10,000 miles annually if everything goes as planned.

McCauley continues to shine
All eyes have logically been on rookie running back Adrian Peterson throughout training camp so far. But another rookie, cornerback Marcus McCauley, has also proven from the get-go that he's ready to contribute right away.
McCauley has acclimated himself nicely thus far, virtually locking down the nickel job with the first team. The Vikings actually move McCauley outside on nickel packages, with veteran Antoine Winfield moving inside over the slot receiver.
McCauley looked very sharp in the preseason opener, more than holding his own against Rams wideouts Isaac Bruce and Torry Holt. He was less obvious against the Jets last week, but that was primarily because they avoided throwing the ball in his direction.
Without question, McCauley has been the biggest steal of the Vikings 2007 draft class to this point.
Opportunity for DEs to shine?
Two young defensive ends for the Vikings – second-year man Ray Edwards and rookie Brian Robison – have been giving offensive tackles fits throughout training camp and the preseason. Whether it's been practice against their own tackles, the scrimmages against the Chiefs, or the Rams and Jets the past two weeks, both players have given all takers a run for their money so far. Will that trend continue against the Seahawks?
Perennial All-Pro left tackle Walter Jones is not expected to play because of a shoulder injury, so the level of competition inevitably drops off a bit.
Ray Willis is expected to start at right tackle against the Vikings. Willis is a third-year pro who has played in only seven games in the NFL and has never started, so it could be an opportunity for starting left end Kenechi Udeze to get the no sack monkey off his back.
Sean Locklear, who normally starts at right tackle, is expected to switch to the left side for this game. Locklear is a fourth-year veteran with two seasons as a starter under his belt, but always on the other side. Can Edwards, Robison and Erasmus James take advantage of his inexperience with the left-handed stance?
Katnik making push for backup center job
Perhaps the least publicized player who's pushing to make the opening-day roster is backup center Norm Katnik.
The Vikings pursued two strong undrafted free agent prospects in West Virginia's Dan Mozes and Michigan State pivot man Kyle Cook following the draft.
Unfortunately for Mozes, the former Rimington Award winner in college, he blew out his knee in training camp and is lost for the season. Cook has shown some potential, but it appears that Katnik has been more consistent and still appears to be the front-runner to make the opening-day 53-man roster.
Simon appears headed to Tennessee?
There was speculation earlier this week that former Colts DT Corey Simon might be a fit for the Vikings, who are looking for better depth inside, but it sounds like the Tennessee Titans are pursuing Simon, according to this article.

OGDEN, Utah – Junior Dominic Bermudez was named all-conference for the second consecutive year on Thursday after a solid junior season. He was named All-Big Sky Honorable Mention after receiving second team honors last season in a vote by the conference head coaches.
"Dominic is a great player and a great competitor," said director of tennis Kim Bruno. "He's proven that year after year. He's gotten really good here at NAU and it's well-deserved for him."
Coming off a team-leading 12-9 season in 2012, Bermudez posted his second consecutive double-digit win season in 2013 for the Northern Arizona men's tennis team. He compiled a 10-10 overall record this season as the Lumberjacks' primary No. 3 player in the singles lineup and was a team-best 7-3 in conference play. His 10 wins ranked only behind senior Robert Martin's 11 victories.
Bermudez finished the season strong, winning five of his last seven matches all of which were against conference opponents. The strong finish put an end to a great junior season in which he started off slow winning just two of his first seven matches.
The Tucson, Ariz. product was impressive in doubles play as well as he was one-half of the team's primary No. 2 doubles pair. Teaming with senior Patrick Schimmelbauer, Bermudez won 10 of his last 11 doubles matches with one unfinished contest to end the season. Overall, Bermudez ranked second on the team in doubles victories at 12-6, 8-2 within the Big Sky. Together with Schimmelbauer, the pair notched a 12-2 mark, tops on the team.
Bermudez becomes the 15th player in program history to be a multiple All-Big Sky selection.

Meet Dexter.
He turned 4 last month, and we just moved to NYC. He's been to the city many times before, including a few week-long stays, so it's nothing new to him.
Dex has adjusted pretty well to the new apartment, especially considering that he had been living in a big, quiet house in the NJ suburbs for the past 9 months. I was expecting a LOT more barking and nervousness, but he's really surprised me and is doing very well indoors after 10 days.
The problem is when I take him outside. He'll walk out the door with me and do his business without trouble, but I can't get him to walk past the end of the building in either direction. It's a quiet, tree-lined street with a single lane for cars and not a great deal of foot traffic. There are a lot of dogs on the block, and we see other dogs almost every time we go out. I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it. I've tried using treats, and while I've gotten him to go a bit further, he still does the DO NOT WANT thing and tries to run back to the door.
All I want to do is take Dexter to the park so he can get some exercise. Hopefully you guys have some advice for me. Thanks!

Indelible Acts
by AL Kennedy
212pp, Jonathan Cape, £12.99
AL Kennedy has been asking whether words mean anything at all since her very first collection back in 1990, Night Geometry and the Garscadden Trains . That book's real yet knowingly ironic achievement lay in its celebration as much as its mourning of the "huge, invisible, silent roar of all the people who are too small to record".
But in her second collection, Now That You're Back (1994), the stories were full of disillusioned and successful artists and writers who knew that "there isn't a point in writing, because it does no good". Her last collection, Original Bliss , made a pencil an implement of torture, "a small word like a scalpel or a pen knife". In this latest book, Indelible Acts , it shouldn't be surprising, then, that the "indelible act" of the title story is on the one hand the physical, sadomasochistic pain that makes the act of love properly unforget table for its narrator, and on the other the act of writing: the unsent letters to her lover's wife in which she's keeping a record of their good/bad infidelity. A story called "Not Anything to Do With Love" is, of course, a love story, vibrating with life, love and hate, humour and regret, gentleness and anger. "We're here for each other, to do ourselves harm."
Indelible Acts is a quiet-seeming collection, focused on "the terrible malleability of words" and calm in its study of people in varying existential states of desperation, usually to do with love. Dissatisfaction is its theme. In "Spared", an unhappily married man waiting in a cheese-shop queue, though he doesn't really want or like cheese, meets a new sexual partner who does not, in the end, deliver the happiness he imagined such a find could bring.
A lovelorn, displaced woman in "Elsewhere", watching a fatal accident, thinks numbly about her habit of burning everything she's gathered before she moves on, and sends up this prayer to God: "I only want the right to be injured to know what I miss. To have someone I can lose. I only want a reason for the sadness." In one of the finest stories, "A Bad Son", a boy who can't bear the abuse his father is inflicting on his mother - an abuse only hinted at but all the more strongly felt for the light, insinuating touch - decides to do the most taboo thing he can think of and hurls his friend's schoolbooks, full of "hundreds of pointless sentences... each one built from mysterious pieces - verbs and nouns and punctuation marks", out of a window into the snow.
Kennedy is not a literary-sexual revolutionary like Burroughs or Kathy Acker - these are stories in which the perceived transgressions, the pain-and-pleasure elements, are often closer to the prurient excitements of doing a wrong thing than the liberations a writer like Acker commonly rehearsed. When their impetus is social, Kennedy's stories come closer in their stealthy analysis of a repressed culture to an author like JG Ballard, concerned with the meaning and consequence of the perversity that is supposed to liberate the visionary self.
In "A Little Like Light", a janitor with a sideline as an amateur magician gives a show full of tiny lessons in impossibility to the woman he impossibly loves. The accomplishment of these stories lies in this tension: how deeply crafted and finished they are, and yet how alive and edgy. The open-ended shapes they take suggest life in parenthesis, so that even though their disappointed characters imagine themselves without hope or easily erased, Kennedy's stories are somehow always filled with possibility.

That dopamine booster of sharing your food, has inspired Internet's Adam Sacks, a web video artist, to come up with this brilliant parody of the new iPhone 5 and what it'd do, look like and feel, exploring it down to the tiniest part.
Well, in his vision, it's very simple. But really, what do you use your iPhone or smartphone in general for mostly? Are you an email addict, photo junkie or just prefer the good old plain voice call?
