Fairness and liability on the roads: part 2
Posted by Kim under Cycling, Politics
[6] Comments
Having written to my Westminster MP about Fairness and liability on the roads and received a reply that justice is devolved to the jurisdiction of the Scottish Parliament. I decided to follow up with a similar letter to my MSPs. So far I have had a number of replies, mostly along the lines of "I will forward the matter to my colleague Keith Brown, Minister for Transport, for his consideration" and one "I have written to the Minister for Justice asking him to respond". So far I have had response from neither Keith Brown or Kenny MacAskill, and I am not holding my breath in anticipation a response either. There were a couple of MSPs who didn't bother to reply, so I won't bother voting for them come May.
The most interesting reply so far has come from Robin Harper MSP (Scottish Green Party), he has suggested that I to lodge a petition with the Petitions Committee of the Scottish Parliament. This is something which I intend to look in to doing. Robin also suggested that this was something he would like to include in the Green Party manifesto. Well, Robin, if you are reading this, here are a few more manifesto suggestions…
Addendum: Following my reply to Amoeba (see comments below), I noticed that in the Cycling Action Plan for Scotland has the following statement under the section labeled "Legal Powers":
Liability Issues
In most Western European countries, the liability in any collision involving a motor vehicle and a cycle (or a pedestrian) lies with the driver of the vehicle, other than in the case of an adult cyclist who is shown to have been responsible for the accident. In the UK, this is not the case. As the majority of cycling accidents involve a motor vehicle, and given the vulnerability of cyclists and pedestrians, the Scottish Government will undertake to explore a "Hierarchy of Care for Road Users". This consultation document is asking whether the liability should always lie with the vehicle driver, until proven otherwise.
Liability and insurance issues are a UK wide matter and if feedback from this consultation document highlighted a public desire to research this area further, the Scottish Government would undertake to write to the UK Government about this.
So there is some recognition that there is a problem, but there is a need to stiffen backbone of our elected representatives and push them to actually do something about it! I urge to to contact your elected representative and encourage them to stop being so spineless and do the right thing.

Keep fighting: It does make a difference. In Germany the car lobby hate this law (and anything else that impinges the rights of motorists). There's a new loophole in Germany being annoubced with much joy by the German car clubs: A cyclist who does not dismount but cycles across a road on a pedestrian crossing equally liable in the event of a car hitting him.
Of course this has nothing to do with making life more difficult for children and older people who need to use a bike for transport but don't want to tangle with Mercedes Man in his attampt to shave 30 seconds of his Very Important Journey, and nor is it to make sure that Mercedes Man has a chance to get away with hitting a vulnerable road user on a crossing. It's all about 'pedestrian safety' because as we all know, if you are hit by a bike at at 7km/h is far more dangerous than a ton of Mrecedes travelling at 30-60km/h.
Obvious really.
I'm a bit confused. Weren't you originally told that it was a devolved issue, but now the "Cycling action plan" says "Liability and insurance issues are a UK wide matter".
Anyway, a good campaign: I've already written to my MSPs on this issue.
Thank you,
With the exception of Robin Harper, the MSPs' responses sound pretty pathetic!
Does Scotland have a bad record regarding cycling?

Chelsea owner's link to cup rival under spotlight
Page Tools
Monaco: European champions Porto will face their former manager, Jose Mourinho, in the group stages of this season's Champions League after being drawn against his new club Chelsea.
Chelsea will also play CSKA Moscow, sparking a controversy over a possible conflict of interest because the London club's owner, Roman Abramovich, has links with the Russian club.
Real Madrid, bidding to win a record 10th European Cup, will face AS Roma, Bayer Leverkusen, the club they beat in the 2002 final, and Dynamo Kiev in group B.
Manchester United, looking for their third European Cup, will play Olympique Lyon, Sparta Prague and Fenerbahce in group D.
Arsenal, who are rampant in England but have been unimpressive in Europe in recent years, will play Panathinaikos, PSV Eindhoven and Rosenborg Trondheim in group E.
Six-times winners AC Milan face former champions Celtic and Barcelona as well as Shakhtar Donetsk in group F.
However, the toughest section features multiwinners Bayern Munich, Juventus, Ajax Amsterdam and outsiders Maccabi Tel Aviv in group C.
UEFA is investigating whether Russian billionaire Abramovich has a controlling interest in both Chelsea and CSKA which may lead to one or the other being forced out of the competition.
It is concerned because Sibneft, a company in which Abramovich has a controlling interest, signed a $54 million sponsorship deal with CSKA Moscow last March.
"If it was found that Mr Abramovich had a controlling interest in Chelsea and CSKA Moscow they could not both take part in the competition," UEFA spokesman William Gaillard said.
"He would have to decide which club would take part."
Chelsea said there was no conflict of interest, however, because Abramovich had no equity stake or direct financial interest in the Moscow club.
"Mr Abramovich is the owner of Chelsea and Sibneft, a company in which he is one of many shareholders, has a shirt sponsorship deal with CSKA Moscow," Chelsea spokesman Simon Greenberg said. "Chelsea is certain that UEFA should be completely unconcerned about this."
Mourinho, who won five trophies in two seasons at Porto, including the UEFA Cup in 2003, moved to Stamford Bridge after being the architect of Porto's European Cup triumph last May.
He is now hoping to bring Chelsea their first English League title for 50 years and steer them to victory in the 50th European Cup final, in Istanbul next May. The Champions League competition starts on September 14 and 15.

LOS ANGELES — Dick Van Dyke is uninjured after his Jaguar caught fire while he was driving on a Los Angeles freeway.
California Highway Patrol officer Saul Gomez said Monday that the 87-year-old entertainer was not treated or cited at the scene.
The officer said witnesses reported the fire just before 2 p.m. Monday and said that an elderly man was slumped over behind the wheel of the flaming car.
Passers-by stopped to help the man, whom police and fire officials identified as Van Dyke.
Arlene Van Dyke posted a video online that showed her husband speaking with police officers and the remains of his burned-out car.

NEW YORK — The Coen brothers and T Bone Burnett will celebrate the folk music of their 1960s Greenwich Village comic drama "Inside Llewyn Davis" with a concert in New York.
The filmmakers announced Monday that they will host a concert Sept. 29 at New York's Town Hall. Performing will be Joan Baez, Marcus Mumford, Patti Smith, Jack White, Colin Meloy and others.
Several of the film's stars will also perform, including Oscar Isaac, who plays a folk singer struggling to make it in pre-Bob Dylan New York. The film, with music supervised by Burnett, opens Dec. 6 and features several authentic performances of lesser known songs from the late '50s and early '60s folk revival.
A portion of the concert proceeds will benefit the National Recording Preservation Foundation, which seeks to archive and preserve America's musical heritage.
The Coen brothers and Burnett memorably partnered for the Grammy-winning soundtrack to "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" A live tour followed that 2000 film.

If you're looking for a film that isn't just explosions and robots this Summer, you have to see Richard Linklater's newest movie, Boyhood. It's the most unique idea for a film we've seen in a long time. Speaking of long time, this was filmed over a span of 12 years and uses the same actors throughout the process! The movie stars Ethan Hawke, Patricia Arquette, Ellar Coltrane, and more. Let us know if you plan to check out Boyhood in theaters!

: Positivismo!
Tinkerbell, congratulations on the BC!
I don't understand why your friend would make those comments. Was she expecting you to be black Rapunzel after seven months? Kinky hair (and curly hair) shrinks. As you can see on many hair forums, lots of ladies do thoroughly enjoy their "wooly" hair!
If everyone ran around with the same 3c-Kinky-Curly-Curling-Custard-jheri-curl the world would be a very boring place. Be unique and rock your 4b 'do!

I'm not very good at figuring offsets or calculation wheel fitment with numbers so I'm coming for advice. I have a MK2 rocco with the 16v body kit and I'm looking at purchasing a set of 15" wheels that are 8" wide with an offset of +10 all around.
I just want to know how these will fit up before I buy em. It seems like the rear of the car has a lot more room for wider wheels than the front. Are these wheels gonna poke and if so how much? Will it rub anywhere. I am gonna have them wrapped in a 195/45-15 tire. I tried to measure on the car but my concept of wheel fitment is elementary.
I would appreciate any help. Thanks.

I like watching the show "the First 48." For those of you who may not be acquainted with the particulars, it's a true crime homicide show detaining the first 48 hours of homicide investigations all over the US.
I watch them on Netflix usually while cleaning my kitchen because the narration allows me to listen more than watch.
Today's episode REALLY got under my skin.
A 16 year old kid hosts a party at his house. He is known to have drug and alcohol problems and he owes money to two people (a guy and his girlfriend) attending his party (presumably for drugs). He gets into their car with a shotgun and while the guy is driving he shoots him in the back of the head with a 12G and then shoots the girlfriend twice.
The car wrecks and he sustains a wound to the back of the head and takes off on foot with the shotgun.
Investigators go to the house and talk to the boys father who admits the boy pretty much has the run of the basement while the parents live upstairs. He says that he goes downstairs to wake his son up the morning after the murder and sees the blood and the wound on his head from the car accident. No mention if he actually questions his son about these things.
The NEXT morning he goes downstairs to wake his son up for work and the kid is gone.
Police obtain a search warrant and find bloody pillows and blankets and clothes in the basement along with shotgun shells and a cleaning kit. In the trunk of the parents' car they find the shotgun covered in blood.
In my irate disbelief to the carelessness of the parents I post on Facebook, "Where were the parents? ... Drugs? Alcohol? Partying? And this kid is allowed to have A SHOTGUN.. ?!?! Am I missing something here?"
The response I get is, "Yes! The 2nd Amendment!"
HOW IN THE WORLD is a 16 with drug and alcohol problems having access to a shotgun with which he murders two people a 2nd Amendment issue?
Does the 2nd Amendment surpass parental authority and the responsibility of a reasonable adult to keep firearms out of the hands of irresponsible hands?
My brother was allowed to keep firearms in his room while he was a teen. I had access to firearms as a teen (and younger, actually).. but I'd like to believe that if any of us became mixed up with dangerous friends or into questionable practices my parents would have restricted our access to said firearms and with good and legal reason.
I say this is a parental issue where responsible adults should have kept the shotgun out of the hands of their son. They should have been present for the party and made sure that access to the firearm was restricted from ALL of the party participants (including their son). The kid should never have had access to that shotgun with which to murder two people.
I do not believe the 2nd Amendment protects a MINOR'S right to keep arms. Thoughts?

A boom with a view: budget hotels take off in Asia
By Aditi Shah and Neil Chatterjee
MUMBAI/JAKARTA (Reuters) - Surrounded by fine wines and elephant motifs in the Tusker bar of Accor's new luxury Sofitel hotel in Mumbai, chief executive Denis Hennequin is unsurprisingly betting on Asia to make up for uncertain prospects at home.
He is also convinced the real elephant-sized growth will come from looking downmarket at low-cost, high-return economy hotels -- piggybacking on the rise of budget airlines that have opened up domestic travel to Asia's emerging middle classes.
Facing economic malaise in Europe and the United States, as well as heavy local competition to build hotels in China, the world's fastest growing hospitality market, global hoteliers see a window of opportunity in India and Indonesia.
"We are a French-European company, but if you look at the pipeline for the next 3-5 years and beyond, more than 70 percent of the inventory of new rooms is from this part of world," said Hennequin.
Hoteliers such as Accor, Europe's largest hotel group, InterContinental Hotels Group, Marriott International and U.S. investment group Starwood Capital's Louvre Hotels are hoping that early-mover advantage will help them build their budget brands on a profitable scale.
But it will not be plain sailing, given regulatory hurdles, a complex business environment, a lack of franchising experience and prospects that success will only increase competition.
In India, the concept of branded mid-scale hotels, where rooms cost between $40 and $80 a night, is in its infancy, whereas in Indonesia, other international hoteliers are waking up to a sector already pioneered by local firms and Accor.
"There is a real need for budget hotels in most parts of the world, notably in Asia," said Exane BNP Paribas analyst Matthias Desmarais, adding InterContinental was doing well in China but Accor was better positioned than its rivals elsewhere. Continued...

When Jamie meets Luke, Luke is bowled over by the beauty with the emerald green eyes and auburn hair, but is instantly tongue-tied. Jamie is not sure how they're going to develop a relationship when he can barely talk to her, but she sets out to seduce the handsome man with the soulful brown eyes.
A game of cat and mouse ensues and Jamie finds out that marrying Luke is easy, but capturing his heart is going to be harder than she anticipates.

"Enjoyable, full of character"
I love how each of the books in this series so far are standalone but also closely tie with the previous books. We get to revisit with older characters and learn about how their lives have progressed.
I love Jamie and Luke's story. The two characters come with complex histories and strong personalities. It could have not worked out with the challenges they face, but I am glad they did.
This audiobook was provided by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review courtesy of AudiobookBoom dot com
"Cheeky Bride"
Although this was a good book I had a difficult time relating to the heroine (Jaime) in this story. I think she seemed a bit too "loose" for that time period. She did have some good qualities but they were over shadowed by her carousing personality. I did however like the hero, Luke. He was a big man with a heart of gold. The phrase "opposites attract" fits perfectly here.
Still, I'm really enjoying this series. These stories are basically clean.....meaning there are sex scenes but there is nothing explicit.
I truly enjoy the narration of J Scott Bennett. His cowboy style voice is perfect for this series.
I would like to thank the author, narrator, publisher for providing me this audiobook at no cost in exchange for my unbiased review courtesy of Audiobookboom.
"A Sweet Story.."
Luke, the male lead, is a shy and quiet kind of guy.
Jamie, the female lead, is a bit more forward.
It seems as though it is love at first sight and a case of "opposites attract" when they meet, at least for Luke..
He might not have realized it at first, but that is what happened to him.
Overall, this book was a quick read enjoyable read.
J. Scott Bennett did well with the narration.
"This audiobook was provided by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review."
"Love this series!"
Yes, It is such a warm and lovely listen.

Yes and I did.

"Opposites Attract "
3.5 stars
A light, fun, humorous, enjoyable and entertaining story.
This is the second book from the Mail Order Brides Montana series that I have listened to and I while I was not disappointed in this book, I did like book 3 a little more. Even though this is part of a series you don't have to have read the previous books to enjoy this one.
Even though these are shorter books they are not lacking in any way. Some shorter books leave you feeling like something is missing either in storyline or the characters relationship. That is not the case here. The characters and their stories are fully developed.
Although in one part of the story there was a whole section that at the end of every sentence was Jamie said, Luke said, Jamie said, Luke said, Jamie said, Luke said, It got a bit annoying and I thought okay time to change up the way their conversations are taking place.
Jamie is outspoken, flirty and sassy. Luke is quiet, shy and reserved. Jamie is not your typical western romance heroine. She takes a bit of time to get used to. Luke is lovable immediately like a big teddy bear. Somehow they find common ground and work well together as a couple.
J Scott Bennett did a fantastic job with the narration. Great character voices. Love the little western lilt to his character voices. Clear pronunciation and nice pleasant voice. Even smooth pace in his narration. Well done all around.

"great book"
love mail order bride books and tjis was no exception.
"I was provided this audiobook at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator in exchange for an unbiased review via AudiobookBlast dot com."
"Not Up To Par"
I enjoyed the first books in this series. This one left a lot to be desired. I did not like the way Janie acted. She is a different type than all of the other ladies portrayed in the series. I guess each one has to be different but this was too different. I like it when it is a good light hearted romance. But this one was edgy. The narrator was very good and that is what kept me reading. I hope the next ones in the series go back to the type of women the other stories had.
I was given this book via audiobook boom in exchange for an honest review.
I don't know, i haven't read the print version, but i absolutely love the narrator.
I really enjoyed that Jamie is not the typical woman, strong but a bit scared. She knows what she wants and what she likes and doesn't compromise on it (all at the same time of wanting to fit in and be accepted) while still showing that she has feelings.
I love his voice. The intonations, clear speech and the pauses in his speech make it easy to listen to and enjoy.
Yes it was, i wanted to see how things would work out between the sweet shy guy and the bit wild and fun lady.

Luke Samuels is a quiet, reserved, young man trying to restart his life after being left standing at the altar two years ago. Working for his Uncle Dean on the Samuels cattle ranch in Dawson County Mt., he sees his uncle and his cousins happily married and starting families of their own and still dreams of having that life for himself one day. He is lonely and has started thinking about looking for a wife again but he's still a little gun-shy. Luke's cousin, Marcus, offers to write an ad for a mail-order bride for Luke and the deed is done.
Jamie Collins is a beautiful young widow with fiery red hair and a personality to match. Living and working in North Dakota, she is feeling lonely and unfulfilled. Her employer is a crotchety old man who, along with most of the women in the town, frowns on everything that Jamie does. She is saving as much of her wages as she can so that she can leave North Dakota and all it's sad memories behind and start a new life for herself. She wants to marry again, and have a family of her own. Seeing Luke's ad in her local paper she makes the decision to answer his ad and move to Dawson County as soon as she can.
Luke falls in love with Jamie almost as soon as he meets her but, he is not prepared for the reaction of his mother and some of the townspeople . There are many trials to overcome and their love for each other will be well tested. Will they be able to overcome all the obstacles thrown at them? Can they both really have the new lives they've been dreaming about?
I really enjoyed taking this journey with Luke and Jamie and getting to know the rest of the Samuels clan. The book is well written with interesting characters and scenarios that you wouldn't expect to find in a mail-order brides story, but that fit the characters and time period perfectly. The personalities of all the characters are strong and they each have their own brand of humor that works it's way beautifully into the story. I highly recommend this story to anyone interested in the time period or the mail-order bride scenario.
"Mail Order Bride - Westward Destiny"
"This audiobook was given by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review via Audiobook Boom."
Westward Destiny is book 4 in the series. We re-visit the Samuels' family. This one features their cousin Luke. Jamie, the mail order bride that answers his advertisement is not like most girls that answers ads. She is strong willed, flirty and adventurous. She has hidden emotions that come out showing a vulnerable side too. Will love conquer all?
The narration was well done.The characters were well portrayed.
"Full of Sass"
Jamie, the main character of Mail Order Bride - Western Destiny, has a mind of her own. She isn't the typical heroine of these types of novels. After reading 2 other books in this series, I was looking forward to more. Linda Bridey is a great writer. The story was funny and kept me wanting more. I enjoyed getting to know Jamie and Luke. Even though they have 2 completely different personalities, I think they make a great couple.
Again, J. Scott Bennett did a wonderful performance. His voice is perfect for this book.

Review in West Side Rag
A theater group called the Dark Lady Players is putting on a performance of Shakespeare parodies above at the West-Park Presbyterian Church starting this week that allows the audience to walk around the theater. You have to see it to believe it. So go see it. It?s free, you have no excuse not to.

He looked at the duende carefully, and saw that it resembled a very small man with long hair and a white beard.
"To have a duende" signifies that a person's imagination is disturbed.
Then he ordered his servants to find the duende and kill it.
It is the duende, your friend, who is in her abdomen, and no one can persuade it to come out but you.
The duende gave Mabait two or three isabels6 every day, and by the end of the month he had saved much money.
After he was given permission to try, he said to the duende, "Who are you?"
This friend is a duende, which will be injurious to us if you let it live here.
Mabait was married to the princess, was crowned king, and lived happily with his friend the duende.
But occasionally the duende had the form of a little busy friar, like the Monachiello at Naples.
Perez gives as definitions "duende" (elf or hobgoblin) and "mico nocturno."

Few birdwatchers will not have been to Norfolk. The first trip is always one of great excitement for the novice and expert alike, as many of the places you have read about finally become a reality as you look out across the scrapes at Cley or take the calf-aching walk along Blakeney Point for the first time. If you have not yet visited the county, you are missing out on visiting one of the best year-round birding areas in the country. Sites such as Cley, Blakeney Point and Titchwell are well renowned 'hot-spots' which consistently attract rare and scarce birds. Add to this a diversity of habitat from the Brecks to the Broads and the North Sea coastline and it is easy to see why excellent birding is on offer every day of the year.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. - The University of North Carolina track and field teams capped the 2014 ACC Outdoor Track and Field Championships with a nail-biting finish. After finishing the second day of competition in fourth place with 23 points, the men's team earned 87 points today, and outscored all other teams today.
The men's championship came down to the last and final event of the meet: the 4x400. Florida State had 107 points while North Carolina had 100. UNC came into the competition with the top-seeded time, but Florida State and Pittsburgh were less than a second off. The Tar Heels would need to win the event and for Florida State to place seventh or worse for UNC to win the conference championship.
RJ Alowonle ran the first leg of the 4x400 after already competing in the 4x100 and 400-meter hurdles earlier in the day. Alwonle dropped to third place after the first 200, but had a great kick in the last 200 to give North Carolina second place during the baton exchange. Kwame Donyinah, who also competed in the 4x100 and open 400, took the baton and carried his own against 400 runners with much more experience. When Donyinah gave the baton to Javonte Lipsey, North Carolina was still in second. After Lipsey's first 200 he gained a second wind and began to will himself toward the front. Lipsey's effort eventually resulted in North Carolina obtaining first place in the exchange. Ceo Ways ran the anchor leg for the Tar Heels where he and Florida State's runner were neck and neck through most of the race. In the last 100 meters Ways was able to turn on the jets and heaved his way ahead of Florida State and narrowly edged a surging Pittsburgh team.
North Carolina ended the meet in second place on the men's side behind Florida State by a score of 113-110. That's the best finish by the North Carolina men's squad since 1999. The 4x400 team of Alowonle, Donyinah, Lipsey and Ways came in at 3:05.89, beating the second place team by 0.05 seconds and putting an exclamation mark on the meet's final event.
"I've never been a part of a group of guys that have fought that hard in that situation," sprints coach Steve Rubin said. "They just did not give up. I think it was partially the desire to win the meet; it was partially the fact that they're here on their home track and the crowd was there for them, and I think they just have a lot of pride. They knew they were a great relay and they knew that was their job to shut the door at the end of the meet. There are a lot of teams that would have said, "Ah we've run a lot today already." So to come back out at the end and put out that kind of effort in that situation is about the most inspiring and positive thing I've been a part of in my track career. It was an incredible moment."
"This 4x4 team is really special. It's really special," North Carolina head coach Harlis Meaders said. "It's a young group, but they've been tested and that's what you really like to see. The same group ran in the indoor national championship and we took them down to the Florida Relays. They ran exceptionally well against college teams and pro teams. So when it came down to the ACC Championships and the final event here, those guys have no fear. We knew we could trust on them. We had no doubt that they would be there for us."
Earlier in the meet Alowonle repeated as the 400-meter hurdle champion as he ran a new personal best 50.23 to capture the title. Javonte Lipsey, who's the ACC Champion for the event two years ago, came in second place with a new personal record at 50.65. Roy Smith finished in fourth place and also set a new PR at 51.90. Devon Carter battled through an injury to take eighth place in the event. Together the four men captured 24 team points in the 400 hurdles.
"It's a really great feeling," Alowonle said about his back-to-back championships. "I'm unbelievably blessed to have such a great training group. We have a lot of great 400 hurdlers here and that's something really advantageous knowing that everyday at practice I'm racing against top guys in the country, not just top guys on my team. It's competitive at practice but at the end of the day we all know we're wearing that Carolina Blue. We love each other and we really want to see every single one of us at national finals.
"My family came down from Minnesota so it was really cool seeing them. It was great that I was able to compete well when they were here."
Alwonle also talked about the team's performance and how close the team was to winning the conference meet.
"We have a really, really good team and you see heart all the way through. You don't just see it from the seniors. There are a lot of young guys, a lot of freshman out there carrying a lot of weight for the team and that's really inspirational. We've talked about it all year: Winning is contagious and when you see someone catch a little spark or see someone do something with a lot of heart or a lot of passion, that just gets the other guys ready to go because we're so close and we care about each other.
"It's not, 'I want to do well for myself.' it's, 'I want to do well for my team.' A lot of times you don't see that in track because track is kind of an individual sport that is also collective. The new coaching staff here really brought that it's really not individual. Not everyone is going to have their best meet at a conference championship, and we saw that today, but as a whole we had a great meet. We really fought. That's something really hard to put into words. It's such a great feeling and I'm really proud of our guys."
Smith and Carter also competed in the men's 110-meter hurdles. Smith set a new personal record at 13.98 and finished in third place. Carter finished in fifth at 14.16. Smith broke his PR in the 110 hurdles on both days he competed in the event at the ACC Championships.
Houston Summers gave the Tar Heels a kick start early in the day when he took second overall in the men's javelin. Summers was in fourth during the competition until his last throw where he threw 214-0 (65.22 meters).
Before Ways ran the 4x400, he finished second in the men's 400 after running 45.93 in the race to tie his personal best. Donyinah was also in the final and finished in eighth.
Ways continued his great meet with a 200 time of 20.53, a new personal record. He finished second in the event and barely missed on first by 0.06 seconds.
Isaac Presson finished in fourth place in the men's 1,500. The senior bolted out to the front after being in the back nearly the entire race. Presson finished at 3:50.97.
Pat Schellberg, another distance runner, finished in fourth in the men's 5,000 with a time of 14:02.78. He ran the last lap in 57 seconds and had an amazing burst after the last turn that brought him from seventh to fourth. Schellberg had competed earlier in the meet in the 10,000 and to get fourth place in the 5,000 was an impressive feat.
Cory Nicholls competed in the men's 800 where he took fifth place at 1:52.07. In the last 30 meters Nicholls went from seventh to fifth.
Austin Vegas tied his personal best in the pole vault by clearing 16-6 ¾ (5.05 meters). Vegas was down to his last attempt at 16-6 ¾ and was out of scoring position. He cleared the bar on his last attempt and went on to earn seventh with that height.
The men's 4x100 team was able to place in the top eight despite not running in the event the entire year. The squad of Smith, Donyinah, Maurice Dix, and Alowonle finished seventh at 41.45.
In just his second year at the helm, Meaders has turned the program around the men's team placed second in both indoors and outdoors with today's finish being as close as it gets. Meaders was very quick to praise his coaching staff consisting of Rubin, Josh Langley, Mark VanAlstyne, Nicole Hudson, and Angela Reckart, but he also had this to say about the team: "I don't think it's anything I've done; I think it's what the kids have done. The kids believe.
"Our whole motto is that we want to be a Better Blue and we're building our team and our training around that. The Better Blue is the blue that people expect from Carolina. When you see the Carolina Blue, you automatically expect excellence. We're trying to live up to that level of excellence and when we put the Carolina Blue on, we demand more from ourselves. It's not about me; it's about the kids; it's about the university, it's about Carolina and for us being the Blue that Carolina is capable of being, and we're going to do that."
The women's team finished the conference championship in eighth place with 55 points. The team is very young with only one senior member who scored in the meet.
Lizzy Whelan and Karley Rempel both scored in the women's 1,500-meter run. Whelan finished in second place at 4:31.10 and Rempel took sixth place with a time of 4:34.57.
Tristine Johnson took fourth in the women's triple jump in her last ACC Championship meet. She jumped 41-3 ¼ (12.58 meters), good enough for five points.
After taking fifth in the heptathlon yesterday, Emily Godwin finished fifth in the high jump today. The event was moved inside due to inclement weather, but that didn't stop Godwin from tying her PR at 5-10 (1.78 meters).
Cori Floyd took seventh in the women's 400-meter hurdles after crossing the finish line at 59.70, her first time below 1:00.00 in her career.
"You know it was a fantastic meet," We had three days of very tough competition and our kids answered the bell each day. The work that the facility's crew did to put on the championship meet... I've been going to ACC Championships for over 20 years now and this has been one of the best run competitions I've ever been to. I think Carolina really put its best foot forward in putting on a championship meet."
The Tar Heels are right back at it next week where they travel to the Penn Relays, one of the most prestigious meets in the country. The meet will start on April 24 and conclude April 26.
"It's the second half," Meaders said. "Now we're going to start making preparations for the national championships. Doing well at the conference championship is just a stepping stone for us. Our goal is to be top ten at nationals and I think we're going to do a really good job at accomplishing that this year. Both the men and women have really talented individuals who are capable of performing at the highest level. Once you get to the national championship, you don't have to have that many kids as long as they're good, and we've got good kids."

A businessman who conned Jeremy Paxman's diplomat brother into helping sell bogus bomb detectors was convicted of fraud today at the Old Bailey.
Gary Bolton, 47, made millions by selling GT200 devices around the world, including scores to the Mexican government at a cost of up to US$30,000 each.
Bolton claimed the machines were able to locate explosives, drugs, cash, tobacco and even ivory at distances of up to three miles.
But in reality the detector was nothing more than a retractable antenna mounted on a plastic box.
Giles Paxman, 61, had no idea the detectors were useless and allowed the British Embassy in Mexico City to be used as their showroom.
Believing them to a genuine British export, he also let Bolton hold sales meetings in his official residence.
Mr Paxman even wrote letters to potential customers in the central American state "emphasising the excellence of the UK security industry", the court heard.
The younger brother of the Newsnight presenter was the UK's ambassador to Mexico from 2005 until 2009.
This afternoon Bolton, of Chatham, Kent, was convicted by the jury of false representation and making or supplying an item for use in fraud between 2007 and 2012.
During the trial jurors heard UK diplomats became involved in Bolton's scam in 2005 and only ceased when bosses in London raised the alarm five years later.
Fernando Estandia is head of security at UK Trade and Investment, a government body set up to promote exports by British businesses, at the Embassy in Mexico City.
Giving evidence via videolink, he was asked by Bolton's defence QC Jonathan Higgs about statements he supposedly made to bosses when they began investigating the situation.
One statement read: "The sales meetings sometimes took place in the embassy or the residence, occasionally with the presence of the ambassador, Giles Paxman."
Mr Estandia replied: "My opinion is I wouldn't be surprised if those meetings happened."
He added that the Mexican military was still using the devices in 2010 and added: "They were very positive about them."
Earlier, fellow UKTI worker Gisela Gonzales-Flores was asked about emails she had sent to Bolton.
Mr Higgs told her: "They include a letter dated February 2009, referring to an introductory letter from the ambassador, Giles Paxman, to the Sonora state authorities, introducing Global Technical and emphasising the excellence of the UK security industry."
But Ms Gonzales-Flores claimed UKTI had not endorsed or promoted any particular products.
She said: "This is part of the procedure that is taken in order to introduce UK businesses to potential local buyers and end users."
Bolton, who maintained that the devices worked, will be sentenced on a date to be fixed by Judge Richard Hone QC.

Spitzer Announces Changes to Juvenile Detention System
New York, NY —
The tragic death last year of a Bronx teenager in a residential juvenile facility upstate brought fresh scrutiny to how New York deals with its young offenders. And here's what we learned: 70 percent of the 2000 children committed to state facilities are from New York City. They are overwhelmingly children of color, and are often from the city's poorest neighborhoods.
This week, the Spitzer Administration announced a major re-organization of the entire juvenile detention system, including the closing of a facility in the Bronx and five others across the state. With us now to talk about what these changes will do is Gladys Carrion, Commissioner of the state's Office of Children and Family Services, which oversees the juvenile detention system.

Making a Fiberglass body
Any one have any information on how to make fiberglass mold. I was think about how someone might take an antique sedan and use it to make a lighter fiber glass sedan. I found one site but it was not in depth.
LOL! that's been covered here a bunch of times in some degree of completeness..
Do a search here for "making fiberglass molds" or "making fiberglass body" and you will come up with threads like this one...
fibreglass hood?
It won't be covered "in depth" on too many places on the net, there are too many variables.
In that thread I linked to, there is a reference to a book about making "glass bodies and parts that is very in depth, I suggest you pick up a copy.
later, mikey
my signature lines...not really directed at anyone in particular..
BE different....ACT normal.
No one is completely useless..They can always be used as a bad example
Thanks mikey
will do
Heres an article where they somewhat show making a mold of a corvette grand sport front end using an existing body. If you don't have a body to pull a mold from, then you build a plug to pull a mold from. You have to make sure the part will be able to release from the mold when building it. This one uses plaster for the mold, which should be less expensive then fiberglass if you are only going to be building only a few or one body. And for good measure, how about an old plymouth?
I think mikey has covered this and layup somewhat here in past threads. I am not an expert, but did spend sometime reading as I was once considering trying something similar and went as far as trying to build a 34 ford body, layed off at the time with plenty of time on my hands, but I eventually abandoned it, and kept busy on fixing a rusty beater I had. I even sent away for a so called book when I was a teenager advertised in hot rod. Well before the internet and information at your fingertips. What a ripoff that thing was, lol. Think it was 12 bucks or something, and it was just a few photocopied pages and they didn't even spell for sheet, let alone show much of anything. Should have screemed highway robbery on that one. I still have it somewhere. Who knows, maybe its something I'll try again someday. I've only made some small stuff so far. There really is a lot of information on fiberglass mold construction and plug building if you spend sometime searching. Don't forget to search some sites about boat building, as they do a lot of fiberglass work.
Those are some really good links kenseth17
I like the detailing of the steps that the Plymouth guy put in. It is obvious that he either did alot of homework, or has done that many times before. (adding trim flanges is the giveaway ) Also,using duratec as his plug primer is an industry standard.
It didn't show any reinforcing of the mold though, which is really necessary in order to keep things dimensionally stable when making parts. The mold will get rolled on its side and top in order to lay up the part inside, and if there is no reinforcement it will distort. Some plywood ribs or a steel structure built around the mold sections will work. Also, I would have used some coremat in the big flat areas to keep them from oilcanning. if he is building many parts out of that mold he probably did that, but just didn't show it.
I usually use a secondary mold release called Poly Vinyl Alcohol after waxing. It is cheap insurance against the mold sticking. If you use PVA you can leave off about 10 coats of the TR wax.
The vette mold building was pretty cool also, I have seen plaster molds , but never built any. Don't drop one Don't use PVA with plaster of paris either, as it is water soluble.
Those links need to go into the KB.
I always said you knew what you were talking about. You'll get yer brownie in a day or so...I sent a brownie-gram.
later, mikey

heck no, I really don't know much on mold building, other then what I've read and managed to remember, and the little I've messed around I mostly just fix the stuff when its broke. Do alot of that at work on those internationals and freightliners. My next job, I actually get to work with metal again for a change (instead of aluminum or glass), got a cube van to repace the door and fix a fender that was munched right on the corner by the sidemarker light. I'll be nice and not say anything about our estimator today again on this job. I won't even attempt to pretend I know a small fraction of what you do about fiberglass mike.
I had some decent fiberglass links at one time, but lost most of em. I found thos e two searching, I am not sure if the grandsport one is the one I originally had bookmarked. But do remember it was similar as they used an original body and sprayed plaster to make the mold.
A brownie gram, whoo hoo. Hope you deliver it to the right house. Most of my neighbors are older (okay downright old), and are married. Don't know if there heart could handle it or how the wives would feel.
good info, so are the hand laid fiberglass bodies better than the chopped glass sprayed type?
You can build good bodies with either method ......
you can also build trash with either method.
Most guys do better with hand laid only because they have to brush the resin on, in doing so they can get the air out of the laminate with less work.
An experienced, concientious chopper gun operator and a good roll out guy or 2 can build parts that are every bit as good as hand laid, in some aspects better.
With either method it takes about the same amount of work to do it right. ( if you count cutting material and mixing resin hand layup takes longer)
The problems with chopped parts comes from the fact that gun operators put too much resin on...it saves time in the roll out, but at the expense of part strength, and deformation later on.
A good gun operator can keep the thicknesses more consistant and actually make a more rigid part, as a chopped part has a little foaminess which makes a thicker part without making it weigh more. That is why a chopped part, done correctly is a little stiffer than a hand laid part.
Foam is NOT air bubbles. Air bubbles are bad in any kind of laminate..
Generally though, a hand laid part is better only because there are few companies that employ good gun operators.
I know why, the job is a miserable one, full of health issues, crappy pay, and not very rewarding. ( I could go back to work running a gun when ever I wanted to...ferget that)
Hope that helps,

What Media Trends Matter to Direct Marketers? 3 Questions With Forrester's Robert Brosnan
Note: Robert Brosnan will be the keynote speaker at the Integrated Marketing Virtual Conference 2012 on Aug. 16. To hear more of his insights into multichannel marketing in today's media environment register today for free!
Robert Brosnan is Forrester Research's senior analyst serving customer intelligence professionals. His research credits include "Campaign Management Customers Get Personal"; "The Forrester Wave: Cross-Channel Campaign Management, Q1 2012"; "3 Approaches to Marketing Technology"; "The State Of MRM In 2011" and "How Listening Informs Campaign Management." We had a chance to ask him a few questions about direct marketing in today's evolving media landscape during preparation for the Integrated Marketing Virtual Conference 2012:
Target Marketing: What media usage trends are going to be the most important to marketers?
Robert Brosnan: The first trend to watch is a meta-trend: that consumers are increasingly always addressable. The always addressable consumer is someone who owns and uses at least three connected devices, goes online multiple times per day, and connects from at least three physical locations—like home, work or school. Second, consumers increasingly engage with digital media well before and after the point of purchase. And third, consumers are rapidly adopting mobile devices and social media to conduct product research, engage with brands, and share their experiences in non-traditional contexts.
In the end, the only sustainable source of competitive advantage is to build relationships with customers, in part, through capturing, analyzing and acting on insights from customer data.
TM: How should marketers approach the current media environment?
RB: Today's marketers literally can't afford to focus on acquisition to the exclusion of other methods of engagement. While spending on display and search dwarfs email, mobile, and social, the return on investment (ROI) is flipped. And not only can marketers deliver much higher incremental revenue from shifting spend to this type of engagement media, they can also deliver on other corporate goals, such as improving customer experience and satisfaction.

Exposed Foundation Concerns
Hello. I am new to this forum, but I need some advice on a home we are looking to purchase. The house is in foreclosure, and it is questionable how much routine maintenance it has received over the last couple years. There are large sections of exposed foundation block with 1/2" to 1" insulation exterior to the cinder block that is shedding off the house. The real estate agent said that the soil has just washed away from the house and needs regraded. It looks like there are low spots around the house where water would flow towards the house, not away. I don't think there is a crawl space, only a full basement on a concrete slab.
The basement has exposed drywall and an initial coating of drywall mud. The selling agent believes the basement was never finished and the owner moved out while working on it. I want to believe that, but my concern is that water got in the house and the original finished basement was ripped out due to water damage/mold.
Can you please look at the linked photos and let me know what I'm looking at regarding the exposed cinder block? Is the exposed insulation a bad sign that the house has had water penetration or the foundation is compromised? I really appreciate it. My offer is due tomorrow! Thanks.
Somethings very wrong if there not givng you to give you time have an independent inspector or at least a mason look this house over.
Never ever use one the reailtor suggest!!!
Pictures lack enough detail to know what up.
But your right poor grading in all the pictures.
Just to clarify, there will be an opportunity for an independent inspection. I just wanted to save the cost of getting an inspection done after the purchase agreement was accepted, if I shouldn't even bother moving forward.
I hate to see a deck attached to a house like that.
It is a shallow, walk-out basement. You should look for a sump-pump pit and/or some tiling which is daylighted on the leeward side of the home. No real reason to have a sump pump in that house if the tiling is done.
Looks like the grade has settled up to 1' around the house. This is normal, but maybe not a foot. So you'll want to replace the insulation as necessary, then bring in dirt to get it up above the insulation and at least one course of brick up. May want to go 3 courses up, because this round of dirt will settle a bit as well.
You can see how far that sidewalk has settled. It will need to be removed and re-done. No big deal.
Typically you will see the AC out of level. The area there has fallen as well.
If you have to ask such questions, you would be well advised to bring someone who knows such things with you when you look at homes.
Don't believe much a realtor has to say.
Regarding the condition of the insulation-this says nothing about whether water has been in the basement. Look for waterproofing behind the insulation. In my area, that is the bare minimum of insulation and chances are if they used the bare minimum, they roll that way.
Thank you for the responses.
Ditto on get a good inspector to look at it. I would bet that window in the third picture will always have leakage problems. Thats not real brick is it?
so someone is foreclosing on it,,, there's plenty of other homes around but, if you just GOTTA have this one, wait til its sold on the court house steps,,, whoever has the lien ( mortgagee ) will bid to protect their interest & then you bid $1 more,,, i'm betting its not worth the upset price, tho
banks do not want to own properties :no:

1870 Upper Water Street, Halifax, Nova Scotia, B3J, Canada
P. Martin Liquors BuildingHistoric Waterfront Buildings (Historic Properties)
1875/01/01 to 1875/12/31
P. Martin Liquors Building is a three storey wooden building located on Upper Water Street in Downtown Halifax, Nova Scotia. It is across from Historic Properties, a group of landmark heritage buildings associated with the early economy of the city. The heritage designation applies to the building and the lot it occupies.
P. Martin Liquors Building is valued for its association with the early commercial activities in Halifax during the nineteenth century. Like many of the buildings in the section of Downtown Halifax, known as Historic Properties, the P. Martin Liquors Building is named for an historic tenant, P. Martin, who sold alcohol from this location. This building compliments the many other heritage buildings in the area that are relics from the 'Age of Sail' when traders, wholesalers, and merchants clustered along the waterfront to better tend to their commercial activities. These businesses played an important role in the settlement and economic development of Halifax.
Architecturally, P. Martin Liquors Building is valued as an example of one of the few remaining wood constructed buildings in an area where most of the commercial buildings are of stone or brick. This three storey wood shingle clad building provides contrast to the surrounding older stone and brick structures. The façade includes two rows of three windows on the second and third floor. A string course is evident between the first and second floors. At ground level, the building has two double windows with double glazed doors featuring fanlights.

Humans having sex with animal could soon be outlawed in Florida.
The Senate unanimously passed a bill (SB 448) Tuesday that would make it a third degree felony for anyone to have sex with an animal.
The House has yet to debate the issue.
Florida is one of 16 states without a law banning bestiality.
If the bill is passed the a person convicted of bestiality could serve up to five years in prison, according the the Associated Press.
The bill is sponsored by Sen. Nan Rich, D-Weston.
According the the national Humane Society, several studies highlight a link between sexual assault of animal and sex crimes against humans.
