It was in a good central location There was no full length mirror in my room and the hairdryer was rubbish
Right next to the train station. Room was perfectly nice except for shower. The shower was moldy...smelled moldy and looked moldy.
location - right in the center of leeds city. The bar was lovely and the reception area was grand soft pillows - pillows bit to hard!
Great rooms, central location very close to public transport, helpful staff.
The decor and the feel of the place. The staff were very helpful in particular the concierges It was a very quiet hotel, not somewhere I would go with a group of people.
staff and room shower was a bit naff
Easy access from the train station and near shops and bars. Staff were very friendly and helpful and I loved the hotel decor.
The Hotel has been refurbished to a high standard and the facilities are excellent. Very helpful and firendly staff. Accessing the location by car around the City's loop traffic system. Better signage would be beneficial.
Room was fine - good bathroom Firstly I had afternoon tea - the scones had been defrosted for too long or were stale, and the cream was artificial. Secondly I booked an early morning call and newspaper but received neither
the bar
Staff ensured we had a relaxing, hassle-free stay. The hotel decor was worth the visit!
Beliggenheten er fantastisk om du er i Leeds for shopping! 2 min å gå fra stasjonen, og 2 min å gå til shopping gaten.
Meget sentralt iht. shopping, kort vei fra togstasjon og meget hyggelig personale. Standaren på rommet vi hadde, var så som så, men til en såpass rimelig penge (2600 ca for tre netter) var det alt i alt et perfekt hotell. Litt dårlig vask av badekaret, da vi sjekket inn, men dette ble ordnet fort.
Beliggenheten var helt perfekt. God frokost, var deilig å kunne spise full frokost på et hotell i England, det er ikke ofte. Mye god mat og velge mellom og et frokost personal som var veldig service innstilte.
Jeg likte rommet generelt godt, det var romslig og komfortabelt.Kunne gjerne bodd litt lavere enn 9.etasje, men det er bagatell. Selve hotellet har høy standard uten mye fiksfakseri, enkelt og greit, samtidig som det var luksuriøst uten å være prangende og pompøst. Meget fornøyd! Frokosten bydde på en del forskjellig, bortsett fra tilstrekkelig utvalg av pålegg. Den engelske frokosten smakte ikke allverdens, har fått bedre mat i øvrige engelske byers puber.
God beliggenhet, sentralt i byen. Bra frokost, hyggelig betjening. Renholdet bør bedres, tepper bør byttes ut.

Full Package
Author : Lauren Blakely
Publisher : CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform
Release : January 9, 2017
Genre : Romantic Comedy
From the New York Times Bestselling author of MISTER O and BIG ROCK, comes a hot & hilarious new standalone romantic comedy…
I've been told I have quite a gift.
Hey, I don't just mean in my pants. I've got a big brain too, and a huge heart of gold. And I like to use all my gifts to the fullest, the package included. Life is smooth sailing….
Until I find myself stuck between a rock and a sexy roommate, which makes for one very hard…place.
Because scoring an apartment in this city is harder than finding true love. So even if I have to shack up with my buddy's smoking hot and incredibly amazing little sister, a man's got to do what a man's got to do.
I can resist Josie. I'm disciplined, I'm focused, and I keep my hands to myself, even in the mere five-hundred square feet we share. Until the one night she insists on sliding under the covers with me. It'll help her sleep after what happened that day, she says.
Spoiler–neither one of us sleeps.
Did I mention she's also one of my best friends? That she's brilliant, beautiful and a total firecracker? Guess that makes her the full package too.
What's a man stuck in a hard place to do?

Today we made a village--a village of love, that is! It started out with a few paper bags...and became a magical little art project as we cut out little windows and doors on each heart home. Not only did this sweet craft bring us together as a family, but having this sit on our little bookshelf twinkling away has also created a festive feeling in the air, almost like Christmas time. And all it took was a village....
To make this sweet little village ,you will need several small paper bags. You can cut them down to different heights to give the village some depth.
We used all sorts of heart-themed accessories to make this village come together, but they were all very simple. My daughter used stickers and heart punches to add details.
I helped with cutting out the tiny little doors and windows, but an older child could probably manage this step just fine. As we were making our little village, we talked about who might live in a heart village....a heart fairy or gnome...maybe.
Once all of our homes were uniquely decorated, we added a battery-operated tea light to each one and the village really came to life. It felt so special and festive to have this out on our bookshelf. It really inspired us to get into the Valentine's Day spirit and we saved it to pull out year after year!
Thanks for always wonderful ideas. I have my granddaughters for a day each week and try to have a craft project in mind to fill part of the day. They look forward to it!

I am going to try this out on a classroom bulletin board at my son's school. although I don't think we'll be able to add the tea lights I still think the kids will have a lot of fun with this. I will try to post a picture when it's all done.

Texas Rangers Buried In Cellar. Authorities Alerted; Astros #1 Team Of Interest
- Updated: May 4, 2017
The Houston Astros are in the Texas Rangers' heads. The last couple of years, it was the other way around, and the head-to-head reflected it: The Rangers owned a two-year 28-10 record against H-Town coming into 2017.
The Rangers managed to salvage the finale of the four-game series in Houston, Thursday, but losing three out of four to the AL West leaders, the Astros, served to further entrench Texas in last place.
One big reason the Rangers are no longer in Houston's heads is a full two-thirds of the Astros' current starting lineup was not with the team a year ago: Alex Bregman, Yulieski Gurriel, Brian McCann, Josh Reddick, Nori Aoki, and Carlos Beltran know nothing of, and care nothing about, the struggles their current team previously had against the Arlington Nine.
Houston's Series Win in Review
Thursday, May 4: Coming into the 4th and final game of this series, the Astros had out-scored Texas, 8 to 3.3 runs a game, outhit them .308-.216, and had struck out only ten times to the Rangers' 41. Bullpen ERA for the first three games? Houston: 2.08, Texas: 10.38.
The good news is that Houston starter, Joe Musgrove, struck out the side in the first inning of Thursday's game. The bad news is he also staked the Rangers to a 4-0 lead, by yielding 5 hits, including a homer. Houston strung a couple hits and a Texas error together into a run to answer, as the Rangers took a 4-1 lead into the 2nd.
Marwin Gonzalez led off the 4th with his 9th home run of the season. He's homered in five consecutive starts –for 6 homers– and four straight games, playing four different positions. The Astros' record for consecutive starts with a HR is six (Morgan Ensberg in April '06).
Related: Marwin, Astros' Secret Weapon, Could Be AL MVP, If…
The Houston bullpen collapsed, and the Rangers, still looking up at the Astros from their last place perch, now 7 games out, proudly flew out of Houston Intercontinental, winning 10-4, over and out.
Wednesday: In the third game of the series, Houston starter, Charlie Morton tossed three no-hit innings (collecting 6 Ks in the first four frames), while Carlos Correa and Brian McCann each smashed 2nd-inning four-baggers. McCann's was the 1,600th long ball in the 18-year history of Minute Maid Park. Correa ended his night 4-for-5 in the Astros' 10-1 drubbing of Texas. Correa was the recipient of the belt this night (see below).
Monday and Tuesday: Monday night, Rangers starting pitcher, Andrew Cashner, hit both Jose Altuve and Yulieski Gurriel on their well-padded elbows. Some time later, in the 6th inning, Houston pitcher Lance McCullers, Jr. threw a pitch about a foot behind Mike Napoli, parallel with his numbers (and nowhere near his head as Ranger apologists would have you believe).
Related: McCullers Pitches For Pups and a Pennant
Sure, Napoli had hit a home run in the 4th, but McCullers has enough control of his 97 mph fastball to hit someone if he wanted to. Post-game, McCullers said while trying to pitch inside, the ball simply got away from him (much like Cashner's two pitches did earlier).
Judge for yourself with this video.
Thankfully, no fists flew, and Tuesday's game was devoid of fireworks, except for the ones provided by Houston's third comeback of the year from 5 runs down. The last time Houston came back from 5 runs down to win was in 2008 against the Giants. The Astros' single-season record for 5+ run comebacks dates back to 1995, with four.
Marwin hit two home runs in the Tuesday game (from each side of the plate), including a dramatic 8th inning grand slam with two outs, his 7th homer of the season. The last time an Astros switch-hitter blasted a homer from both sides was Lance Berkman in a 2006 game.
Boot Scootin' Noogie
One of the reasons the Astros were "re-accommodated," in 2013, to the American League from their 51-year perch in the NL was to push the two teams together to play nice more frequently, instead of the puny, six-game interleague matchups previously arranged.
If you're not a Texan, and can't quite grok what this mounting feud is all about, think Yankees/Red Sox, Cards/Cubs, or 2016-era Hillary/then candidate Trump. Or, major airlines/passengers.
Dangled before each team since 2001 has been the Silver Boot, a silver, size 15, 30-inch tall trophy awarded the winner of the Lone Star Series. Coming into this year, the Arlington denizens enjoy a 12-4 advantage over H-Town.A new Lone Star Series wrinkle will be this new charity component, according to the May 2, 2017 sportsday.dallasnews.com: At a Monday news conference, the Texas Lottery's sponsorship of the Lone Star Series between the 2 teams was announced: "Texas Lottery Commissioner, Robert Rivera announced that the Lottery will make a $20,000 donation to the charitable foundation of the team that wins this year's series."
Pardon Me, But May I Have This Rhubarb?
One of the well-publicized dust-ups both teams have been involved in in the last two years, included choreography no more threatening than seen in summer stock:
In this video from 2015, catcher Hank Conger encourages a sloth-like Rougned Odor to shuffle into the batter's box before Christmas. "Oh, yeah?" were probably Odor's next words as the two converged, and as quick as you can say, "junior high dance," both benches emptied, and 50 uniformed men gathered to do nothing more than chat while grimacing. Monday night's Texas two-step will be added to the canon of pushing and shoving enjoyed by the only Lone Star State teams.
They'll meet again in Arlington in early June for a three-game set, and the following week, June 12-14 in Houston.
Houston ace, Dallas Keuchel, was named American League Pitcher of the Month for April, his fourth career such honor, most in franchise history. Keuchel went 5-0 with a complete game, and a 1.21 ERA in his six starts in April. He allowed 25 hits and 11 walks, while totaling 36 strikeouts in his 44.2 innings. The Beard led the major leagues in wins and innings pitched in April, while ranking third in the AL in ERA, and in opponent batting average of .164.
Avid WWE wrestling fan (and Astro OF) Josh Reddick will award a massive, custom-made, gold and Astro logo wrestling belt to each win's player of the game. He'll be the referee for anointing the recipient, replete as he is with an authentic, striped referee's shirt. WOO!
….'n' Odds
For you responsible wagering types, I'm betting you might want to know that Bovada, an offshore online sports betting site just increased the Astros' chances of winning the World Series. With a before-season odds of 14-1, Houston's chances of winning it all are now a tantalizing 8-1.
Conversely, the Rangers' odds of claiming the World Series crown have now been officially lowered to "you've got to be kidding."

The euro and European stocks rallied at the start of an important week for European financial reforms to prevent a repeat Greece's debt crisis.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Nicolas Sarkozy are due to seek an accord on new rules for the single currency area at postponed talks in Berlin, three days before an EU summit.
Inspectors from the IMF and EU were in Athens to review Greece's efforts to pull away from its debt crisis.
"The crisis has gone by and it's clear that we are accountable to each other. We've seen it lately with the Greek crisis and we must play by the rules, and the rules have to be changed," French economy minister Christine Lagarde said.
"But I'm not suggesting that the crisis has gone, has disappeared, vanished," said told BBC radio.
The euro rose 1% to more than $1.22 and European stocks were up 1% to a four-week high amid optimism about the global economic recovery. Eurozone industrial production in April surged year-on-year more than in any month in almost two decades, data showed.
Merkel and Sarkozy will try to reconcile Franco-German differences on the notion of a European "economic government" to coordinate national economic policies within the 16-nation eurozone and the 27-member EU.
France wants regular summits of euro zone leaders, backed by a dedicated secretariat, to harmonise economic, social and tax policies and rebalance the European economic between surplus and deficit countries.
A German government spokesman reiterated that Merkel wants all 27 EU states involved in economic governance to strengthen budget discipline and increase economic competitiveness.
EU finance ministers have drafted stricter rules designed to enforce the bloc's budget deficit limit of 3% of national output by applying earlier and tougher sanctions to countries in breach, and extending greater discipline to public debt.
Greece is under strict supervision as part of the terms of a 110 billion package of rescue loans from the IMF and EU countries using the euro.
The IMF and EU officials, who will be in the country for the week, held meetings at the finance ministry in Athens today.
Greece received the first instalment just in time to pay off maturing government debt last month, and is to receive the second in September.
In return, Prime Minister George Papandreou announced painful austerity measures, slashing pensions and salaries while increasing indirect taxes, seeking to gradually bring the deficit down to 2.6% in 2014. Athens says it has exceeded deficit-cutting targets in the first five months of the year.Reuse content

A considerable amount of evidence collected from several different experimental systems indicates that cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) may play a role in colorectal tumorigenesis. Large epidemiologic studies have shown a 40-50% reduction in mortality from colorectal cancer in persons taking aspirin or other nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs on a regular basis. One property shared by all of these drugs is their ability to inhibit COX, a key enzyme in the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandins. Two isoforms of COX have been characterized, COX-1 and COX-2. COX-2 is expressed at high levels in intestinal tumors in humans and rodents. In this study, we selected two transformed human colon cancer cell lines for studies on the role of COX-2 in intestinal tumorigenesis. We evaluated HCA-7 cells which express high levels of COX-2 protein constitutively and HCT-116 cells which lack COX-2 protein. Treatment of nude mice implanted with HCA-7 cells with a selective COX-2 inhibitor (SC-58125), reduced tumor formation by 85-90%. SC-58125 also inhibited colony formation of cultured HCA-7 cells. Conversely, SC-58125 had no effect on HCT-116 implants in nude mice or colony formation in culture. Here we provide evidence that there may be a direct link between inhibition of intestinal cancer growth and selective inhibition of the COX-2 pathway.

Madison Bumgarner has been named the 2014 Sports Illustrated Sportsman of the Year. It's an honor you can't argue wasn't well-deserved.
Yes, the internet just shook with squeals of glee (no pun intended): the 'Pitch Perfect 2' trailer has arrived and, for better or worse, it looks like a whole lot more of the same. For fans, that's perfectly okay! Why fix something that clearly isn't broken? For the people who just couldn't deal with the first entry, this one promises all kinds of new nightmares and/or migraines.
World Series MVP Madison Bumgarner threw five scoreless innings of relief, and Michael Morse drove in the game-winning run with a bloop single as the San Francisco Giants beat the Royals, 3-2, in Game 7 of the 2014 World Series in Kansas City on Wednesday night.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Royals battered the San Francisco Giants 10-0 last night to force a decisive Game 7 in the World Series...
Usually this late in October, the talk of Kansas City and really all around is either Kansas City Chiefs or Mizzou football. The Kansas City Royals run is usually over, but not this year...

Transaction log growth best practices
There is a lot of talk online about transaction log growth and what you should do. There are two answers to this question, and in this post I'll give you both answers.
The theoretical answer is that you want to grow your transaction logs in 8 gig chunks. This will maximize the amount of space that make up each VLF within the transaction log file. This will allow SQL Server to to minimize the number of VLFs that are created which is a performance improvement. Unfortunately there is a problem with this which leads us to the practical answer…
The practical answer is that there is a bug in SQL Server which causes the database to grow he transaction log by 32k the first time you issue a growth which is a multiple of 4 Gigs (which 8 Gigs obviously is). Because of this bug, which has not yet been fixed in any released versions of SQL Server it is recommended to grow the transaction log by a slightly smaller number such as 8000 megs at a time. The VLFs will be almost as large, keeping log performance where it is expected to be without having the SQL Server create a 32k log growth and 32k VLF.
With this bug there is no error or message that the log was grown by 32k instead of the requested amount. You can check the log growth information by looking at the DBCC LOGINFO output.
Now don't forget that you don't want to auto grow by is large size. If you do transactions may be killed by client side timeouts while waiting for the log to grow as the transaction log doesn't support instant file initialization no matter what. You'll therefor want to pre-grow the transaction log to the needed size ahead of time, with a smaller auto grow size that your storage can accept quickly. Personally i like to use a 1 gig or 1000 Meg log auto grow size for emergency auto grows. This gives me enough log space to work with, without having to wait for the storage to take to long to write the file.
How HyperBac worked for me
I recently installed HyperBac on a clients SQL Server to reduce the amount of space needed to store their backups. Specifically we were looking to reduce the amount of space the log backups took, but I was curious to see how much space the full backups would be reduced by.
The full backups were ~53 Gigs in size, and the transaction logs averaged about 800 Megs every 12 minutes. After installing HyperBac, we reduced the full backups down to ~14 Gigs, and the log backups down to about 150 Megs every 12 minutes. Additionally the full backup went from 57 minutes down to 14 minutes greatly reducing the amount of time that the production disks have extra IO load on them.
Installation and configuration was very simple. I just installed the software on the server, thankfully with no reboot required and changed the backups to use hbc as the file extension instead of .bac and .trn.
Overall the space savings for 1 days worth of backups went from 107 Gigs to 35 Gigs. This allowed us to save a very large amount space on the backup drive, removing the need to purchase more storage for the back drive for a long time to come. All in all, well worth it for the few hundred dollar price tag of the software.
What does WITH (NOLOCK) actually meanSQL
Contrary to popular belief WITH (NOLOCK) isn't actually the SQL Server "Turbo" button. While it may appear that way, there's actually some stuff going on in the back that makes it look this way. Understanding what is happening is critical to using WITH (NOLOCK) correctly.
When you use the NOLOCK query hint you are telling the storage engine that you want to access the data no matter if the data is locked by another process or not. This is why is can make it appear that the query is just running faster as you are no longer waiting for other processes to complete their writes, you are simply reading what ever is in the buffer pool or on disk at the time that you get to it. This leads to a problem called dirty reads, meaning that you may not be getting the same values that you would get it you were to run the query again. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, just something to be aware of. Usage of the NOLOCK hint may be just fine in your application, or it may be incredibly bad.
When other users are making changes (insert, updates and deletes all do this) to the data in the tables within the database, they take locks on the pages which they are modifying. These locks tell the SQL Server that no one else can use these pages until the change has been completed. Once these locks have been released your select statement can continue until it either finishes or comes to another page which is locked.
When using the NOLOCK hint you ignore the locks and read what ever data is available at the time. This can cause problems when joining foreign keys as you can end up with different data being returned if the foreign key value is updated (depending on the execution plan that your SELECT statement uses).
Many people believe that one reason that NOLOCK works is because the execution plan changes when you use the NOLOCK hint. This isn't true. The NOLOCK tuning hint isn't used by the query optimizer, but instead by the data access engine as this isn't used to change the way that the data is found, but instead it simply changes the way the locks are accessed as the data is read from the buffer cache and/or the disk.
Hopefully this will give a little insight into what is happening when you use the "SQL Turbo button".
SQL Server Consolidation at #SQLExcursions
The fifth and final session that I'll be presenting at SQL Excursions is on SQL Server Consolidation. There are lots of ways to consolidate SQL Server databases, and some times the wrong method of consolidation is selected by people. Knowing all of the options when working on a SQL Server Consolidation project is key to a successful consolidation project. In this session we'll look at how to evaluate which consolidation option is best for different kinds of databases so that you can maximize your SQL Server infrastructure and minimize consolidation costs without impacting post consolidation performance.
I hope that the sessions that Tom and I are presenting at SQL Excursions sound interesting and would help you and your employer succeed in your future projects. Personally I feel that the costs to go to an event like this are minimal compared to the massive savings that a company could realize over time from the information which their DBA would be able to bring back to the office.

Take a virtual motorcycle ride around Ketchikan, AK
A few weeks ago I went on SQL Cruise with Kris (my wife) and a bunch of other SQL geeks. When the ship was stopped in Ketchikan, Alaska while a bunch of people were going in the water (crazy right?) I hopped on the back of a Harley and went riding through town as part of a motorcycle tour. Well Kris was smart enough to purchase a little high def video camera that I was able to strap to the front forks of the motorcycle so I could record the video, and here it is. It's hosted by Facebook as they allow for longer videos than YouTube, but it's in three parts because they only allow 20 minute long videos.
All told the tour was about 3.5 hours long (the SD card ran out of space a little before the end), but after cutting out where we stopped to look at stuff, take pictures, etc. there is about 48 minutes of actual video of me riding around the city (the camera tipped down for about 10 minutes as well, so I cut that out as well as it wasn't much fun to look at the front fender). There are about 38 miles of paved road in the city, and we road for about 45 miles so we covered most of the town.

SQL Excursions and Index Internals #sqlexcursions
The fourth session that I'll be giving at SQL Excursions will be on index internals.
In this session we'll dig into the internal structures of indexes. We will explore the differences between clustered and non-clustered indexes, what's laid out within each page of the indexes and how the SQL Server uses the data within the indexes to find rows quickly.
Knowing how indexes actually work is key to understanding why indexes improve query performance. Knowing that indexes will help performance is good (and hopefully you know this), but knowing how the index actually works is even more important so that you can make proper indexes so that you aren't making extra indexes that aren't needed as having to many indexes will actually slow down SQL Server not make it faster.

High Availability and SQL Excursions
My third SQL Excursions session I'd like to talk about is going to be about high availability. There are lots of high availability options for SQL Server, especially when SQL Server "Denali" is one of the high availability options. In this session we'll be looking at all the available HA options so that you understand all the options, and when each of the various high availability options should be used. Not all high availability options are created equal, and using the wrong high availability option could be just as bad if not worse than not having a high availability option. When you don't have a high availability option you know it, when you have the wrong one you have a very false sense of security.

Lets learn about Virtualization at SQL Excursions
The next session from SQL Excursions that I want to talk about is my session on virtualization. During this session, we will be talking about some best practices about running SQL Server in a virtual machine so that you can get the best performance possible out of your virtual SQL Servers. We will also look at when is a good time to not visualize your SQL Server. With VM World happening just a few weeks before there should be some great new VMware (and probably Hyper-V as well) announcements happening just before SQL Excursions, so you can be sure that the information we'll be presenting is very up to date, and we'll probably to talking about some futures for one or both platforms as well.
Being able to get SQL Server up and running within a virtual machine is key in today's IT world.

SQL Excursions Sessions
As SQL Excursions is getting closer, I wanted to talk a little about the sessions that I'll be presenting at the event which I'll be doing over this week. The sessions that I'll be presenting are:
- Storage
- Virtualization
- High Availability
- Indexing Internals
- Server Consolidation
All told I'll be presenting for about 8 hours over the two days, with Tom LaRock (blog | @sqlrockstar) presenting over the other 8 hours. Because this isn't a traditional conference not all the sessions will be locked in at an hour long. Some may be longer, some shorter depending on how the day moves along. The goal with these sessions is to get the questions answered, not to get the session presented in the time allotted.
The first session on the list above is Storage, so I'll start with that session for today's blog post. During this session on storage I'll be talking about some of the more advanced storage options which are available for storage array tuning as well as data replication and how these can be used to improve your storage performance not just for your SQL Servers, but overall for your entire environment as well as to reduce your backup windows.

Discussion in 'Travelling, Commuting & Safety' started by sparky, Dec 10, 2011.
Just thought you guys would appreciate my new motto.
If you can keep up with traffic, you ARE traffic.
In my area of riding, if you cannot keep up with traffic, sooner or later, you WILL become a traffic statistic.:ack2:
There are some 2-lane roads where I go slower than the rest of the "travelers", but you know what...
When I claim the center of MY lane, those behind me have nowhere else to go.
If I lived on a densely populated volcanic rock, perhaps my mindset would be different... but here, it's my road when I want it.
I agree with you, sparky. It all depends on the area, traffic and mindset of cagers that you have to deal with.
I don't like to hold up traffic whether I'm on a bicycle, motorbike or car and I don't appreciate it when people can't have the common courtesy to yield to faster moving traffic. If you're one of those people and feel you have every "right" to do it, you have power/control issues and like to lay the blame on others for your own misgivings.
Every one of these situations depends on the scenery....
- How dense is the population? ... traffic?
- How flat, hilly is the terrain?
- What is the condition of the road? How many potholes?
- How many lanes are there?
- Is there a shoulder for you to allow others to pass?
- Is there ANYTHING to pull over on the side of the road? Parking lots and such?
- What is the speed limit? How fast is everyone else going?
- How many traffic lights, signs are there?
- How many curves are there in the road? ... or is it always straight shots?
- What is the nighttime lighting situation like?
- Are cagers typically friendly to cyclists?
- Do you typically make yourself visible and known to cagers?
Depends on the situation. No two roads are the same, but the majority of roads around here permit me to take up the roads when need be. When there is a sidewalk, it is perfectly legal, here, for me to ride on said sidewalk. If there is no sidewalk, then the center of the lane you will find me.... the vast majority of the time.
Riding a bicycle SAFELY is more innate than people realize. But there are a select few who are afraid to claim the road when there should be no problem doing so.
The entire point of CLAIMING THE ROAD is simply to...
(1) *NOT* ride ON the solid white line, when there is
(3) NOR ANYWHERE ELSE to "fall back"
You ride the line with no shoulder, and you're asking a driver to clip you while he gambles between hitting you or oncoming traffic.
Do people not realize this? If you were behind the wheel of vehicle, and you were st00pit enough to try to pass a cyclist on the solid white line... would you prefer to hit the oncoming traffic, or the cyclist??
Not saying you'd hit either one, but remember... you're st00pit... just like most cagers. Which one would you choose? I would opt not to hit the oncoming traffic, personally.... but in reality, I wouldn't put myself in that position to begin with.
HENCE, THE REASONING... why I claim the road. I won't let ANYONE get in that position. Because I'm sooo not st00pit to the point that I won't let ANY ol' st00pit potentially clip me.
So far, wherever the speed limit is more than 25mph I encounter a decent shoulder marked by a white line (fog line)- this is considered a bike lane in Okanogan County. Here I can lope along at 30MPH without being an issue to anybody else. When the speed limit is within the capacity of my two-wheeled agitated sewing machine, I 'own the road' in true fashion. Otherwise, I pull over to the side. Either way, I AM traffic and there is provision for me, both physical and legal. IF I decide to crawl down the center of a 55MPH zone at 30mph, THEN I am begging for trouble. Can there be any argument here? But within the constraints of the law you are correct- you ARE traffic as long as you obey local laws. IF YOU BLOCK TRAFFIC DUE TO AN INABILITY TO MAINTAIN ADEQUATE SPEED, YOU DESERVE A TICKET... and should consider yourself lucky if that's the worst you suffer. Some 60MPH highways have blind corners and we who ride these things have (at best) a puny helmet...
the Old Sgt.:army:
What I'd like to know is, are traffic laws and safety no longer taught in driving school? Has commonsense been also been eradicated from the rules of the road? When I attended driving classes in high school oh so many years ago, we were taught when approaching slow moving traffic from behind, like a farm vehicle for example or perhaps even a (gasp) bicycle, or encountering a vehicle double parked into your traffic lane, you should slow way down behind the vehicle before crossing the center line into the approaching lane, at minimum a clear view ahead was mandatory before proceeding. Also, at times it might even be necessary to come to a (heaven forbid) complete stop behind the offending vehicle if the view ahead was not easily seen.
A couple of days ago I was riding in a friends car on a narrow 2 lane country road and in the other approaching lane a UPS truck was parked half on the road in front of a house, hazards flashing. Though this was on a blind curve in the road, just as we were getting abreast of the truck, a line of 5 cars began swinging way over into our lane around the truck, one after the other, and none of them slowing down appreciably from the speed limit. My friend was alert and on it, slowed and pulled far to the right. It's good that there was a bit of shoulder there at that spot that allowed him to do it.
:army:Sorry to say, most High Schools no longer teach driver's ed- education sees as many budget cuts as medicine, I'm afraid, due to the fact that elected officials fleece these budgets for their own purpose... usually involving pork towards re-election. This is the only political activity that is truly bi-partisan. I should point out that a fair amount of my warning regarding NOT holding up traffic is also flavored by the fact that for the amount of protection offered on a bicycle/motored bike/motorcycle, we might as well be naked. A little paranoia is a good thing when riding any two wheeler. Again... any argument?
the Old Sgt.
I think, therefore I am---Traffic
Well Sarge, I've said this somewhere before. Years ago, An older (at the time) H.A. buddy of mine gave me some advice I'll never forget. You're invisable on a bike. No one sees you till yer in their grill. It's worked for me for 40 years of motorcycle riding. So far(knock on wood) I've never been in a grill. A motorized bike is even worse. If a cage driver even see's you, he see's only a bicycle. (10 or 15mph,RIGHT?) They don't expect a bicycle to be doing 35mph and will make a right turn in front of you every time. So, they either don't see you at all or see only a bicycle. If I play the invisable game then they can do anything they want, I'm ready for it because I KNOW THEY CAN'T SEE ME. Of course, you gotta try to make yourself as visible as possible, But also know most drivers are too busy talking on the phone to pay attention to a st00pid bicycle. So, I'm INVISABLE. (I do like yer new motto though.)
Big Red.
I like Red's attitude. In the end it doesn't matter who has the legal right of way. The greater mass and velocity always win.
That's right toojung. Ya can't argue about your "right of way" from the morgue.
Shiney Side Up,
Big Red.
TRUE--------"Only the strong survive!" It doesn't matter if you have a "coliseum of lights", your still are on a bicycle. Think about it.........
Actually, only the smart and/or lucky MBers will survive in traffic.:ack2:
This past year has been a deadly one for bicyclists. One 80-something year old guy was killed while riding on the sidewalk! The motorist was exiting a driveway, making a right turn as he watched approaching traffic on his left.
One cyclist was killed while riding between a tour bus and the curb in the same lane. She proceeded to go straight thru the intersection, while the bus driver decided to turn right.....and ran over her.
On one of the most dangerous inclines on my route, I press the pedestrian "stop" button at the intersection. I need to turn left here. When
the light turns green, I have a 30-second headstart before the stopped traffic comes after me. I'm @ 35mph before the road goes downhill towards the next light. If everyone obeys the speed limit, I can make it to the next light. If cars in both lanes are approaching fast, I hop into the bike lane and slow down to 20mph.There's a merge @ the bottom of the hill, then another very steep hill. If there's gridlocked traffic, I ride the dirt path alongside the road. The cagers are agitated because I'm passing them by, so I ride thru the hilltop intersection and pull over. When the red light stops traffic, I have another 30 seconds' head start to reach the next two lights. Once there, I drop into the bike lane and slow down to 20mph. Traffic builds up again @ the bottom of the hill and the bike lane disappears. So I hop onto the sidewalk and ride @ jogging speed for the next 2 blocks, until I reach home.
One of the nice things about commuting to work is that you learn which way's the safest route, when to claim the lane, and when to surrender that claim.
Bigger vehicles and incoming fire have the right-of-way... :army:
Bigger vehicles? Mabe. But incoming fire has NEVER stopped THE UNITED STATES ARMY....EVER.... GO ARMY.
Big Red.
OK, I was Air Force. Incoming fire has the right of way with me.
It has been mentioned before but it is worth repeating that Google Maps has a bicycle route and walking route function. It is useful to compare both maps when planning a route to a first time destination to avoid the cagers.
Incoming fire has the right of way- simply yield laterally as you advance. It was never my job to die for my country- it was my job to bestow that honor on the enemy... :army:
we have some windy twisty roads with blind corners. all the lycra clad over-paid legal types on there $15000 dollar racers love them on the weekends, though i tend to overtake them just coasting down because i know the road...
the problem is that the fools tend to ride side by side.
nothing annoys me worse than having let two cars pass me, and getting the thankyou wave, because i show some respect for people behind me, only to have to slam on my brakes 100 metres up the road because theres a horde of leotards taking up the whole lane that WONT let the cars past...
one of them is that spineless tony abbot bloke...
i know that leagally theyre allowed to, but seriously! you do 10km/h up hill! the cars do 50! get out of the ****ed way!
Phooey on Tony Abbot. (Uh, who the Heck is Tony Abbot?!:dunce

The last governor's race in Wisconsin, in 2010, broke spending records for such campaigns in the state, with more than $37 million expended by the candidates and outside groups. Two years later, in a recall election set for Tuesday, the candidates — Gov. Scott Walker and Mayor Tom Barrett of Milwaukee — are the same, but the money has ballooned to an estimated $60 million.
That is an especially stunning amount for a race that has been only months in the making.
Even before Election Day on Tuesday, some groups, including the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign, an independent organization that tracks political money in the state and came up with the latest estimate, were calling on lawmakers to overhaul the state's financial reporting requirements.
Among the biggest problems, according to Mike McCabe, executive director of the organization, is a lack of transparency about outside groups that are buying ads — a collection that makes up about $30 million of the spending in this campaign.
Mr. Barrett, a Democrat who campaigned in Milwaukee on Friday with former President Bill Clinton, has raised about $4 million, his campaign reports show. He said this week that he would support calling a special session of the Legislature to work on finance overhauls.Continue reading the main story
Mr. Walker, a Republican who on Friday visited suburban Milwaukee with Gov. Nikki R. Haley of South Carolina, has raised more than $30 million since the start of 2011, two thirds of that just in the last five months, his reports say.
The size of Mr. Walker's campaign coffers is partly a result of his status as a recalled governor, the first in the state's history and only the third ever to face recall around the nation.
Under Wisconsin law — one that many officials in the state say they had overlooked because it was so little used — a governor, though not his opponent, is exempt from the standard contribution limit of $10,000 per individual donor until the time a recall is formally announced by the state, which in this case came at the end of March. That meant that until then, Mr. Walker, who has picked up contributors from among a stable of conservative donors around the country, raised amounts as high as $500,000 from individuals.
But on his most recent filings, there are also donations well above the $10,000 limit, including $20,000 on May 30 from a contributor in Illinois, $50,000 on May 22 from one in New Jersey, and $100,000 on May 27 from one in Wisconsin.
Reid Magney, a spokesman for the Wisconsin Accountability Board, which oversees elections, said higher amounts were within the board's interpretation of the state regulation — which allows them so long as the larger donations were spent on expenses incurred before the end of March.
Ciara Matthews, a spokesman for Mr. Walker's campaign, said that is precisely where the higher sums were going. And she defended the amount of money Mr. Walker has raised. "We wouldn't be raising or spending any of this money if an election hadn't been forced on the governor," she said.Continue reading the main story

Sports Legend Bo Jackson Autographed Signed Raiders Card. Comes with certificate of authenticity.
Jackson is a former American baseball and football player. He was the first athlete to be named an All-Star in two major American sports. He also won the Heisman Trophy in 1985.
In football, he played running back for the Los Angeles Raiders of the National Football League. In baseball, he played left field and was a designated hitter for the Kansas City Royals, the Chicago White Sox, and the California Angels of the American League in Major League Baseball.
While at Auburn University, he won the 1985 Heisman Trophy, the prize annually awarded to the most outstanding collegiate football player in the United States. He also ran a 40-yard dash in 4.12 seconds (hand-timed), which is still the fastest verifiable 40-yard dash time ever recorded at any NFL Combine. A hip injury severely impaired his professional baseball career, and ended his NFL career.
In 1989 and 1990, Jackson's name became known beyond just sports fans through the "Bo Knows" advertising campaign, a series of advertisements by Nike, that starred Jackson alongside Rock and Roll Hall of Fame musician Bo Diddley, promoting a cross-training athletic shoe named for Jackson.

Select different type of car
Read articles about these pick-up & cab chassis (2WD):
The Pick-Up and Cab Chassis 4X2 class is one of the most popular new-vehicle sales categories in Australia.
The Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries (FCAI) refers to it as the Pick-Up and Cab Chassis 4X2 segment, but it is widely known (and loved) throughout the country simply as the Ute segment – or, in this case, the 4X2 ute segment.
Ute – as in utility, or coupe utility – is part of Australian folklore, since it was a Melbourne farmer's desire for a new type of light truck 'with a tray to transport the pigs to market during the week and a cabin to take the wife to church on Sundays' that prompted Ford to invent the world's first coupe utility in the early 1930s.
Pick-Up is an American term for a coupe utility or ute, but Cab Chassis is universally accepted as the word for the bare chassis in which a bespoke body can be added behind the cabin.
The term 4X2 simply refers to two-wheel drive, as in 'four wheels and two-wheel drive'.
Of course there is the Pick-Up and Cab Chassis 4X4 segment – and that obviously refers to four-wheel drive (4WD) – or all-wheel drive (AWD – it's all the same thing really) vehicles.
Virtually every 4X2 (or four-by-two) ute is rear-wheel drive (RWD), but there are exceptions – namely the front-wheel drive (FWD) Proton Jumbuck – a two-door (2DR) coupe-utility version of the 1992-1996 Mitsubishi CC Lancer small car.
FWD, by the way, is thought not ideal for utes, as the weight of a big load in the back puts less weight over the front, driving wheels, thus compromising traction.
Traditionally, most Pick-Up and Cab Chassis models featured two bucket seats or a bench seat to seat three.
They were based on the existing large car of the day – like the Holden Special ute, Belmont ute and Kingswood ute, Ford Falcon ute, and Chrysler Valiant ute (also rebadged as a Dodge ute for a time). They were all monocoque bodied by design.
But the Toyota Hiace and Datsun utes came along during the 1970s. These were literally little trucks, or light trucks, with a separate chassis construction (also known as a ladder-frame chassis).
Over time, the Japanese one-tonne trucks, as they were also known, gained extended cabs with either a back row of seats, or four doors, or both. These are variously branded as Dual Cab, King Cab, Extra Cab, Twin cab, Super Cab, Club Cab, Space Cab etc., and are offered in both Pick-Up ute and CC Cab Chassis designs.
Holden followed suit with its VY and VZ Commodore Crewman models, while even HSV got into the act with the Avalanche XUV Crew Cab vehicles.
There are also larger, medium-sized light-truck based Pick-Up and Cab Chassis models, such as the Ssangyong Actyon Sports 4X2 and Musso 4X2, while the Ford F100-based F250 trucks came in 4X2 guises as well.
The one-tonne or one-tonner vehicles from Japan use four-cylinder petrol, four-cylinder diesel or V6 petrol engines ranging from about 2.0 litres to 3.5 litres.
The Australian-built Ford Falcon and Holden utes use six-cylinder engines or V8 engines, offered in petrol or LPG liquid petroleum gas formats, and in sizes ranging from 4.0 I6 in-line six-cylinder and 3.6 V6 to 5.4 V8 and 6.0 or 6.2 V8 respectively.
Ford also has a turbo-charged in-line I6 six-cylinder Ute model known as the XR6, XR6T, or XR6 Turbo.
Transmissions are usually four-speed automatic or five-speed manual, except for the performance locally-made utilities, which can offer a six-speed automatic or six-speed manual gearbox option.
Almost all have struts up front and a leaf spring (or Hotchkiss) live-axle rear suspension system.
The Holden VE Ute has an independent rear end with multi-links, which compromises payload but offers the most car-like control, handling, roadholding, and ride comfort.
Payloads vary wildly, but the one-tonne utes or pick-ups are so-called because they usually can handle around one tonne of payload. The Ford and Holden vary between about 250kg for their showpony performance models, to well over 1000kg for the harder-working vehicles.
No hybrids as yet, but the diesels do offer improved fuel economy and thus lower emissions, especially CO2 carbon dioxide emissions, but their NOX Nitrogen Oxide pollution is greater.
Utes are trusty and hard wearing workhorses.
Most modern utes have car-like comfort cabs.
Most modern utes are much safer and secure to drive than older versions.
Most modern utes can be both weekday workhorses and weekend fun machines.
Most modern utes look much better than utes of yesteryear.
Well looked-after utes often command much more resale value-wise than their passenger car counterparts, if you're talking about a Holden or Ford.
Utes are not as car-like to drive as cars.
Utes are often lacking in refinement compared to passenger cars.
Utes are often lacking the safety features we are increasingly taking for granted like stability control or curtain airbags.
