Walk - Porthcurno and Penberth
3.0 miles (4.8 km)
Porthcurno, Main Valley Car Park TR19 6JX Porthcurno, Main Valley Car Park
Moderate - Generally good paths, some over fields; one length of minor road; the Coast Path has one steep climb and descent.
A cliff walk high above turquoise seas and sandy coves, once the heart of Britain's overseas communications, passing a tiny picturesque harbour and an important promontory fort from prehistoric times. Today the spectacular granite buttresses of the coastal headlands are widely enjoyed by audiences in the outdoor Minack Theatre as well as the millions of viewers of films and a television series based on the stories of Cornish author Rosamunde Pilcher. A good walk for children, who will love the rocks and the prehistoric promontory castle.
This walk is particularly good for dogs as it passes a beach and pubs where dogs are welcome. Have a look at our Top Dog Walks on the South West Coast Path for more dog friendly beaches and pubs.

You can upgrade the kernel if you want, however be advised that if you do so outside of what the Dev team releases then you are on your own for support.
On one hand it is good to stay "up-to-date" however on the other hand, doing so can indeed "break things" that are specific to the BT kernel, while this does hold true for most Linux distro's it is a bit more imperative for BT. As for doing an upgrade there is a blog post on off-sec with more details.

Facilitator's Question.
Facilitator's Question: What are the constraints and problems of side loader for effective warehousing operations? Explain.
The constraint of the sideloader is that the truck can only service one side of the aisle at each pass. If the material to be picked is at the wrong side, the operator has to re-enter the forks/loading platform on the proper side. This makes the sideloader quite troublesome to use at times, especially if a mistake is made in picking.
The problem of the sideloader is the high cost of maintaining it, as well as the installations of the guide rails on both sides of an aisle to facilitate easy movement of the sideloaders.

AUSTIN -- Partisan rhetoric about undocumented immigrants must stop, and Congress needs to reform the immigration system so that Texas can prosper economically, Republican Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst said Friday.
Speaking at a border technology and trade conference, Dewhurst said immigration reforms must allow workers to come to the United States legally. Bringing immigrants out of the shadows, he said, would improve security, allowing border agents to focus on potential threats.
"This is a debate I'm pushing Congress to put behind us," said the potential 2010 gubernatorial candidate. "We're all from someplace else. The U.S. is a melting pot."
Dewhurst said he favored a "liberal immigration policy" that allows needed workers to flow into the United States legally. But, he added later, he does not favor offering citizenship to those who entered the country illegally.
"Let's legitimize everyone and let's move on, because we have to work together," Dewhurst said.
The conference, attended by government officials and business leaders from Canada, Mexico and the U.S., was meant to develop strategies to increase the speed and security of cross-border movement of products, people and services.
Retired Army Gen. Barry McCaffrey told the audience that the United States has allowed debate about border enforcement to dominate the discussion instead of searching for reasonable solutions. Technology, new ways of thinking and binational cooperation, he said, are the keys to increasing border security and maintaining economic stability.
"Without hardworking, disciplined, humble, Catholic Mexican and Central American workers, it's over," McCaffrey said.
Greater El Paso Chamber of Commerce president Richard Dayoub said it was "comforting" to hear Dewhurst urge that immigration rhetoric cease. Until it does, he said, improvements in technology and efficiency at border ports like El Paso will be delayed.
"Without the commitment and willingness to move toward solutions, we're at a logjam," Dayoub said.
State Sen. Eliot Shapleigh, D-El Paso, who helped host the conference as chairman of the Border Legislative Conference, said strategies developed at the meeting and at subsequent meetings would be presented to the next presidential administration in 2009.
"It's time to focus on hope, prosperity and opportunity," Shapleigh said. "Secure and fast movement of people and products around the world are not mutually exclusive."

I'm newbie in CSS and i have problem when i want to design header like this:
I can create header background but how can i create the light as notice in picture (i mean how to slice this in photoshop). Hope anyone help me!
Usually you would create the main background first and then you nest an inner element and place that light-slice in the background of the nested div so that it lays on top of your normal background (for modern browsers you can place multiple images on the same element but for better browser support additional html is the best option). The nested image should be transparent of course so you need to extricate the section from photoshop as a transparent png.
In some cases you may be able to slice the whole background as one image for that section but it does depend on how the main background is constructed or whether its a repeated slice etc.
From the look of it I would just add that highlighted section to an inner element and place it in the background as required. You may even be able to use an existing inner element if the html is suitable.
If you get stuck then upload what you have done and we'll try to offer some more specific advice.
thanks paul, i think today rare cases use whole background as one image, they usually use repeat property.
Do you think nested div is the best idea?
It depends on the image as some images can't be repeated as they are not uniform. If the images are uniform then repeating is the way to go.
For best browser support then the nested approach is best. You may have a structural element in place anyway as you probably have header or section elements that you can apply the inner background image to anyway.

PHILADELPHIA - Honored and recognized for their second straight undefeated league title at the men's basketball game against Cornell Saturday night, the University of Pennsylvania football team and staff received their 2010 Ivy League championship rings.
Joined by University President Amy Gutmann, the team was recognized at mid-court of The Palestra as the 2010 seniors hoisted the Ivy League championship trophy to a standing ovation from the crowd.
In a season where the Quakers celebrated the 800th win in program history, the 2010 Penn Football team claimed its second straight undefeated Ivy League championship. The Quakers became just the third team in Ivy League history to post back-to-back undefeated Ivy campaigns. Penn was ranked as high as No. 14 in the nation and currently holds a 15-game Ivy League winning streak. It's the longest active streak in the country and the third-longest in Ivy history. In addition, 19-year head coach Al Bagnoli won his 125th game at Penn to become the winningest football coach in school history.
Penn will begin spring practice on March 15 with the 2011 Spring Game slated for 6 p.m. on April 9.

Boston to Test Extended Parking Restrictions in Southie
"City officials are preparing to launch a 90-day experiment in roughly one-third of the neighborhood that would expand resident-only overnight parking from four to seven evenings a week," reports Andrew Ryan.
"Bill Linehan, City Council president, said the 90-day trial is an attempt to address complaints about the scarcity of parking on weekends, when an influx of young professionals now living in the neighborhood attracts droves of visitors."
The data backs up the narrative that more people are trying to park in Southie: "The number of resident parking stickers has increased by 10 percent in the last three years, jumping to nearly 18,258 from 16,636 in 2011, according to the city Transportation Department."
Meanwhile the pilot program is highly controversial, called a band-aid in need of a tourniquet, and with opposition from both sides—residents who say the restrictions aren't enough and by residents who are concerned about access to the neighborhood by out-of-town visitors.

Distress Reinker Background Tutorial by Danielle Lounds
Hello – It is Danielle here with a fun tutorial on making an inky background using Distress Ink Reinkers. This is a technique that I love to use when I want a very vibrant background.
Supplies to create background:
Paintbrushes, Inkssentials Pipette, Glass of Water, Inkssentials Mister, paper towels, Inkssentials Non-Stick Craft Mat, Distress Ink Reinkers (Worn Lipstick, Festive Berries, Frayed Burlap Peacock Feathers), watercolor paper (2 pieces), heat tool, ink palette.
First step – add a couple drops of each color to an ink palette and dilute each with a couple of drops of water. I do about half ink and half water. Mist watercolor paper with water.
Second step – Using a paintbrush, paint small circles using the first color (Work Lipstick).
Third step – Using a clean paintbrush, paint more circles using the second color (Festive Berries), beginning to fill in the open areas.
Fourth step – Using a clean paintbrush, add the third color (Frayed Burlap), filling in the final areas without color. I also painted the edges of the cardstock with this color. I did leave a few spots bare.
Fifth step – to soften the colors a bit and blend them together I mist the cardstock with a bit more water. I then take a second piece of water color paper and smoosh it over the first to pick up the excess ink
Sixth step – use a heat tool to dry the water color paper. Notice that there is still some lovely ink on the craft mat – it would be a shame to waste that.
Seventh step – Smoosh the watercolor paper back into the leftover ink adding more blobs of color to the paper.
Eighth step – Heat set. Repeat until you are happy with the final look. I did this for both pieces of water color paper, adding more ink from the palette to the craft sheet when I ran out.
Ninth step – For more color, use a pipette to splash the background with the fourth color of ink (Peacock Feathers). Heat set – using a paper towel to soak up the excess ink if necessary. Note – this can be very messy – the pipette tends to send the ink in every direction so don't wear your favorite shirt. 😉
Tenth step – sit back and enjoy your finished backgrounds and decide how you will turn them into a piece of artwork.
Supplies to decorate card:
Paper Smooches Bold Buzzwords stamp set, Idea-ology Mirrored Stars, Idea-ology Label Letters, Ranger Clear Emboss-It ink pad, Ranger Light Blue embossing powder, heavy duty white thread and sewing machine, card stock.
I used one of the backgrounds to create a quick card. I heat embossed the "thanks" from Bold Buzzwords using Clear Emboss-it ink and light blue embossing powder. I finished the sentiment by spelling out "so much" using Label Letters.
I then rounded a couple of corners, matted on Faded Jeans Distress cardstock, and added stitching using heavy duty white thread and a sewing machine. Added a few mirrored stars and finished by adhering the panel to a white card base using foam dimensional tape.
Hope you enjoyed the tutorial!

Pizzeria Locale rolls out a new Aperitivo hour
Pizzeria Locale rolls out a daily Aperitivo hour.
Rob Christensen
One year ago next week, Pizzeria Locale finally opened its doors, revealing the Napolitano pizzeria that Frasca owners Bobby Stuckey and Lachlan MacKinnon-Patterson had been working on for months, pushing forward even after their custom-made oven was dismantled in customs.
Since then, though, Pizzeria Locale has packed in fervent fans for pies fired in that wood-burning oven until they're crispy around the edges, soft in the center and topped with stellar ingredients imported from across the Atlantic and supplemented by produce from nearby local farms. We count ourselves among the place's followers: The mais pizza -- made with sweet corn, prosciutto crudo and creme fraiche -- made our list of the best pizzas in Denver and Boulder.
But now Pizzeria Locale has given us more reason to love it. The joint just s rolled out an Aperitivo hour, offering up cheap bites and drinks best consumed at the bar, counter or, when the weather's warm, near the open garage-doored window.
Among the deals? Three polpettine, the spot's killer meatballs, for $2; one biscotto for just 50 cents; an $8 Margherita pizza; $4 red or white wine; $4 Aperol spritzes -- and $2 Peronis.
The complete list:
Pizzeria Locale
Next week, in celebration of Locale's anniversary, the Aperitivo hour menu will be available from 4:30 until close. After that, it runs from 4:30 until 5:30.

You just need to load kdelibs3 on the system, and they work fine then, since they needed access to dcop and other kde3 functionality.

Book Lists Including Gallop!
Book Lists Including Gallop!
Reach Out to Bellevue
Reach Out and Read at Bellevue Hospital is part of a national initiative to make books a routine part of pediatric care, starting at a baby's six month check-up.
Unfortunately, the program at Bellevue lost thousands of books during Hurricane Sandy.
"Reach Out to Bellevue"—spearheaded by Carol Chittenden of Eight Cousins—gives customers of ABC member bookstores the opportunity to purchase a book during the holiday season to help the program at Bellevue rebuild.
Participating bookstores can make a small "Reach Out to Bellevue" display using this list of needed titles or add just a few titles to their existing Giving Tree programs. Every bit helps! Books can be tagged or bookmarked in an identifying manner to help staff recognize them when they are brought to the store counter, and stores do not need to stock every book on the list. Carol has suggested that participating stores may consider providing a discount on these purchases and/or a bounce-back coupon for future purchase.
Stores who choose to participate should bring books to the NECBA meeting on March 14th in Portland, ME, or to one of the NAIBA children's spring meetings to be collected by ABA. Books collected by the ABA will be taken to Bellevue at no cost to participants. Stores in other regions who wish to take part should store books until Bellevue opens to the public and can accept shipment.

"I think it would not only be a physical reconstitution, but a huge moral factor for al Qaeda as a movement were we to withdraw from the region in 2015 and allow them to once again establish preeminence in the region and become the vanguard for the al Qaeda movement from the region," Dunford told the Senate Armed Services Committee at a hearing on military operations in Afghanistan.
Al Qaeda would "view it as a great victory," Dunford said, and would give the terrorist group "the space within which to conduct operations towards the west once again."
On Feb. 25, President Barack Obama ordered the full withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan by the end of the year but said he would prefer to have a residual military presence in the country.
Afghan President Hamid Karzai, however, has refused to sign a bilateral security agreement (BSA) to allow U.S. troops to remain in the region after 2014, because his term in office is coming to an end, and he preferred for his successor to sign the agreement. Afghan elections are scheduled for April, but if there is no clear winner, a run-off election will take place later this year.
Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-N.H.) asked Dunford to explain what would happen to the region if U.S. troops withdraw from Afghanistan by 2015.
"First of all, I think the deterioration of the Afghan forces begins to happen fairly quickly in 2015," Dunford said.
Almost immediately after the withdrawal is completed in 2015, tactical units would run out of fuel. "Pay systems would not be completely operable," he said. "Spare parts would not be available for vehicles.
"We'd start to see decreased readiness in the Afghan security force, and obviously their operational reach would be less. We also would not complete work with the Afghan air force, which really is two or three years away," Dunford added. The U.S. military is "still in the process of fielding the Afghan Air Force."
"With regard to al Qaeda, again my assessment is with the pressure we put on al Qaeda virtually every day in operations, by our special operations in cooperation with their Afghan partners is what has kept the al Qaeda from reconstituting. We know from intelligence that they have every intent to continue to operate from Afghanistan and Pakistan," he noted.
"They would view it as a great victory were we to withdraw and were they to then have the space within which to conduct operations towards the west once again," Dunford said.
Dunford said there's no question that the troop pullout would be "a risk to western interests including the United States."
Ayotte noted that all of the Afghan presidential candidates have committed to signing a bilateral security agreement if elected. She was troubled by comments that Karzai has made recently. Among them in January, the Afghan leader accused the U.S. of being the mastermind behind many insurgent-style attacks in the region, the Guardian reported.
If a decision is not made on the bilateral security agreement by September, the military campaign would suffer, Dunford said.
"You have a high risk against an orderly withdrawal, and that's simply because of how long it takes to get all the equipment out, all the people out, and to transfer all the facilities. We start to run into a situation where there are as many tasks to do as there are days to do those before the 31st of December, so that's why I characterize that as high-risk subsequent to September," he said.
"But I think the real challenge with a delay in the BSA and a delay in certainty post-2015 actually starts in Kabul with the leadership, the Afghan people, and the Afghan security forces across the country," Dunford said.
"I think it also is fair to say that currently the uncertainty in 2015 affects the behavior of regional actors to include Pakistan, and those nations are hedging – not certain what the facts on the ground will be in 2015," he said.
Dunford also expressed concern about "the willingness and ability of the coalition to maintain cohesion and actually participate."
"I think it's very important to point out that the contribution of the coalition has been significant, and I assess that a future mission-- it would be very important to do the future mission also as a coalition," he said.

I've known Richard Johnson for seemingly forever. Yet I never thought he'd leave NYC or even the New York Post despite many lucrative job offers over the years. And several scandals under his watch… But the paper announced today he's exiting the editorship after nearly 25 years and "moving to Hollywood to work on new digital ventures for News Corp, the parent company of The Post". (Presumably, this is something News Corp's Digital Media CEO Jon Miller is incubating.) Surprising, since newsosaur Richard is as old media as they come. "I love Page Six and The Post, but I've always wanted to give Los Angeles a try," he said. Here's my first piece of advice: learn the difference between Hollywood and LA because they're not interchangeable. Taking over as the new Page Six editor is Emily Smith.
HUH? Richard Johnson Exits Page Six For Hollywood And News Corp Digital Venture
4 Comments
Wow! This is great for Richard. He has been a pleasure to work with throughout the years and I a confident his new venture will be just as fabulous as Page Six. He is a legend in the newspaper world and it does feel like he has been there forever.
Good luck to Richard. I'm grateful for the coverage he gave one of my projects a few years back in his column.
Haha – there IS a big difference between LA and Hollywood. But Richard is fairly astute – he's likely to pick up the lay of the land out here
Best of British luck, wherever you go, Richard. I was in, I was out, I begged not to be in but usually was, for all the wrong reasons but I learned a lot, don't do something if you don't want to see it on Page 6 one day. Success follow you my friend.

Craig and Other Listers,
My family lived in Knightswood Rows. I acquired a printout of a paper on St.
David's Knightswood describing the history of this church in part it says:
"East of Pikeman Road to Knightscliffe Avenue was old Knightswood. From 1740
to 1896 it was a mining village. The Red Town stood opposite Knightswood
Hospital entrance and the miners' rows were at the east end of Baldric and
Kestrel Rods. Hermitage Avenue and Waren Road were the sitesw respectively
of Summerlee Iron Works and Knightswood Brick Works. Old Knightswood was
part of the lands of Drumry owned by the Crawford family from 1529 to 1887.
They bore the title of Earl of Crawford and Lindsay, and later Earl of
My grandfather was an ironstone miner and lived in Knightswood Rows from 1871
to 1888 when he immigrated to the United States. All his paperwork, marriage
license etc. is under the Parish of New Kilpatrick, Dumbarton County not
Renfrew. Maybe this will help. Mitchell Library has a photograph of
Knightswood Rows should this turn out to be where he was living.
There is a newer version of the history quoted above at
Good Luck

Wanted: Deep Experience
But it's not just any IT professionals they're after. What most companies want are IT people with experience in newer technologies they're looking to deploy or those with very deep technology and business experience in a particular industry. Experience with developing mobile and social media applications, using newer programming languages like Ruby, and deep integration skills for linking on-premises computing systems to cloud-based services are at the top of recruiters' wish lists.
Harris' Patel, for example, says the application development openings he has are for highly experienced professionals. "For these positions, which are for new projects, we need people with five to 10 years' experience. They are not positions for new graduates," he says. "It has been very difficult to fill them."
Guardian Life Insurance in New York recently conducted an IT workforce assessment and found that 35% of its IT staffers are over 55 years old. "Almost half [of our] IT workforce will be eligible for retirement in 10 years," says CIO Frank Wander. "It's staggering. These are our most experienced people."
What Guardian is looking for, he says, are young IT professionals to whom extremely high-value senior IT employees can pass on their experience and knowledge about Guardian's business and processes (see sidebar). On the technology front, Guardian -- like just about every other company that's hiring for IT -- needs professionals with data modeling and design skills and mobile application skills. The insurer is also seeking IT workers with data center consolidation experience.
"Fifty percent of Fortune 500 companies will be modernizing their data centers over the next five years. The reason is that devices are becoming more powerful. They take up less space and need less electricity," Wander notes. "We're doing a data center modernization and consolidation initiative, and we want people who have been through this. It's very hard to get. It's one of the hottest areas."
Healthcare IT
Hospitals Compete for IT Talent
Healthcare providers in the U.S. are encountering a shortage of qualified IT job candidates as they race to meet federal government deadlines for converting paper charts to electronic health records.
At stake is $25 billion in funding allocated in 2009 by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act for spending on EHR technology and other forms of healthcare IT. Medical providers will be compensated for the cost of these systems if they meet certain implementation deadlines.
"You can imagine there's going to be a fair amount of hiring," says John Halamka, CIO at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston and a Computerworld columnist.
To manage the hospital's EHR rollout, Halamka opted to outsource the task to a firm that specializes in EHR implementation and practice transformation. The healthcare facility is also developing a private cloud, which required hiring IT professionals with backgrounds in database development, wireless networking, security and server administration.
Equally critical are employees who grasp how introducing technology into medicine changes how care is administered.
"I need an analyst who really understands how it is you can take a paper-based office environment and then move it to this new world of using electronic records, because it isn't just digitizing paper," says Halamka. "So they really have to understand how you leverage the technology and change processes in order to move doctors from what they may have been doing for 30 years to a new world."
Beyond IT skills, Halamka looks for candidates who "have a working vocabulary of healthcare" and are familiar with the industry's privacy, security and regulatory compliance needs.
Halamka has found, however, that his organization must compete with EHR vendors for staff. Candidates may find these vendors' fast growth and lucrative salaries more appealing than what a nonprofit hospital can offer, he says. But, he adds, Beth Israel's connection with Harvard University's medical school gives him an edge in the talent wars.

The University Record, July 16, 1997
By Ryan Solomon
News and Information Services
There is more to conserving natural resources than recycling paper, turning down the thermostat or caulking drafty windows. One of three energy conservation booklets published by Utilities Department focuses its attention on ways to reduce electricity costs that result from the more than 27,000 personal computers on the Ann Arbor campus. The 10-page booklet, U-M Guide to Green Computing, describes steps that can be taken to reduce computer and printer electricity use that costs the University at least $1.8 million per year - nearly 11 percent of the total amount the University spends on electricity.
The guide estimates there are at least 26,800 personal computers and about 13,400 printers on campus. Those estimates do not include the many computers students bring to campus or those used in the Medical Center. Utilities Department Energy Management Engineer and booklet coordinator Don Lystra says energy usage statistics showed his unit there was a compelling need for energy conservation aimed at desktop computers. "Personal computers have become a very major component of energy consumption. They account for a pretty good chunk of the electricity that the University uses."
The University first began thoroughly recording its energy consumption in 1973. In that year, 46 BTU of electricity per gross square foot was used. That rose to 68 BTU per gross square foot in 1996. While Lystra acknowledges part of the increase in electricity use that occurred during those 23 years came from more buildings and widespread use of air conditioning, he says the growth of personal computers figures prominently in the data of historical energy costs. "Our estimate was that about 35 percent of the increase in the electrical use since 1980 is due to the growth of personal computers."
Not counting personal computers brought by students or those used at the Medical Center, Lystra estimates the roughly 25 million kilowatt-hours of electricity used by personal computers each year would be enough electricity to power 26 Fleming Administration Buildings or four Hatcher Graduate Libraries.
The guide lists a number of simple things people can do to reduce their computer's appetite for electricity. Lystra offers several recommendations to cut down on energy use:
Through the years, Lystra says manufacturers have gotten better at building more efficient personal computers. A number of years ago the Environmental Protection Agency initiated a voluntary compliance program designed to promote the building of energy efficient operation of appliances and electronics. Manufacturers who meet the EPA standard can display the Energy Star logo on their products. Lystra says products with the logo use 30 percent less electricity than a similar computer without the rating, and he recommends shopping for products with the logo. The electricity savings accrued over the lifetime of the computer can add up to hundreds of dollars.
Publishing the booklet was a team effort, involving, in addition to Lystra, Energy Management Office Coordinator David Anderson, Design Engineer Yoshiko Hill and School of Natural Resources and Environment student Angela Farleigh.
Lystra says Farleigh did an excellent job of collecting and analyzing facts for the booklet. But he says she made an even more valuable contribution to the project when she shared her idealism with co-workers whose enthusiasm may have faded. "It's been fun to be in touch with the students and to have some of their idealism rub off on us and to know that they are supportive of what we're trying to do in our energy conservation work."
Lystra says the student perspective Farleigh brought to the project was different from staff perceptions of energy conservation. Whereas staff thought in terms of economics and non-renewable resources, he says Farleigh reminded them of the importance of atmospheric pollution, global warming and paper waste.
Three booklets on energy use and conservation, U-M Guide to Green Computing, U-M Guide to Energy-Efficient Lighting and U-M Guide to Energy Conservation, can be ordered by calling the Utilities Department, 764-2492.

The buffet breakfast was good and staff was friendly. There was a strange smell in my room, maybe from detergent or something.
very central to main city sights, big beautiful room and breakfast salon no fridge in room
Very pleasant staff, excellent location, ample parking, spacious and well-equipped rooms, marvellous value for money. Nothing.
location perfect for my needs good nice quality and well run
The hotel staff were wonderful! Our room was very clean and welcoming. The breakfast was fantastic and the location was perfect. The towels were rough. It would be nice to use fabric softener.
What is not to like about this one? It's modern and spotlessly clean. The staff are welcoming and helpful. The restaurant is good. No complaints, just words of advise for other guests. I'm not sure how many of the staff speak English, but all seem to speak German. The kitchen closes at 9.00pm.
clean, good price the staff was not speaking very well english but we managed ;-)
Out of the way (not in town) but very close to the town. Countryside setting with easy parking and great food! Lights in the hallways are on motion sensors and they turn off a bit too soon also there is privacy glass separating the main hallway from the bathroom (a bit of a strange design) and when you are in the bathroom it turns the main hallway light on and off.
everything was new!!!! hotel restaurant was good and cheap!!!!!
Very peaceful area and nice surrounding of nature. Very good for walking.The food at the restaurant is very good and well presented. Unfortunately there is not much use of English language among the staff so at times it may be hard to communicate. No problem if you know German or Czech of course.
Our stay was peaceful and relaxing. The hotel was beautifully presented; the staff were helpful and accommodating. It is an idyllic place to unwind.
I loved the view from the dining room, the breakfast, my room, the giant indoor plants, the proximity to the castle and the friendliness of the owners and staff. I didn't like paying 200 Czech crowns for a taxi to get to the hotel from the station, especially when it only cost 283 crowns to travel by train from Prague. But even worse than that was the taxi driver who was booked to take me back to the station on Sunday and instead drove me to Cheb. He wanted me to pay 345 crowns, which I didn't do!
The hotel staff - very pleasant and helpful; the location - fresh air, beautiful place and close to the town; excellent breakfast; the sauna N/A
Really good looking place inside and outside, excellent first impression, nature, view. Pity for the details... Not a 3 star hotel but a pension,room looked nice but the details - like not used for a long time,empty minibar off,clean but poor bathroom,not acceptable shower (no shower door but curtain sticking on your body, no soap holder).
Location is great- close to the major sites of the town. Despite the price, there is a mini-bar in the room. Managed by a young staff, not service-oriented. Hardly speaking English. First foreign language for them is German, and also very poor one. The towels are worn-out and they still use the metal key instead of the digital card. No double beds- two separate beds close together are considered "double"...

Woogen wins two
Posted 2084 days
Woogen wins two on Saturday Night
Dr. Scott Woogen, made the most of two drives at Rosecroft on Saturday evening winning both. In the first race he drove Four Starz F from the outside post. He was on the move second over near the half, engaged the game Silverado Hall in battle around the entire final turn and edged clear in the stretch for the lifetime mark setting score in 1:59.3. Silverado Hall and driver Shorty Robinson Jr. was easily second best.
Woogen returned to the sulky in the third race and won by open lengths with Suwanee River as the odds-on choice. PS Emily's Tuition was second best after contesting the early fractions.
James Dodson scored his first win in a pari-mutuel race with DVC Freewaytofame in the second race after sitting in the third hole and shaking loose on the turn. DVC' struck the lead turning for home and held sway to the wire for the score.
Lislea Pat continued his form spree recording his second win in a row for leading trainer and driver John Wagner, and if not for a break three back would have scored for the fourth start in a row. Wagner returned to the winner's circle with The Travelling Man in the seventh race with a long, grinding trip from dead last at the quarter.
Donnie Russell also recorded two victories on the night, winning the quickest mile of the night with Gold Like U (1:57.1) and with a wire to wire win with Jazzy Hanover in the fifth.
Drivers Chris Welty, Ray Robinson Jr. and Brett Moeykens all recorded a win on the evening.
In qualifying action on Saturday afternoon, veteran trotter Four Starz Robro made his return to the races a winning one with a wire to wire score in 2:02.4, last quarter zipped in 29.3. This son of Conway Hall has made 148 starts and won 35 times while banking over $570,000 for trainer Judy Welty and owner Kelley Rogers. He should return to the pari-mutuel wars in the next week or two.

Welcome to the forum, and thank you for letting us know that this problem is not confined to cars sold in the U.S.
One comment on the above: there has been discussion on this and other forums regarding interchangeability between AL, ZKW and possibly other brands of headlight covers. Consequently, reading the markings on the covers should not be considered a reliable method of identifying the headlight manufacturer.
We have found two ways to identify, definitively, the headlight manufacturer. One way is to look for the manufacturer's label on the top side of the assembly. The label is often hidden by the metal headlight support. The second way is to look at the projector lens; if it has a frosted appearance and a horizontal line milled across it, it's an AL projector. If the lens is crystal clear and has no line, then it's a ZKW projector.
Note: I have only worked with U.S.-spec bi-xenon headlights, so I have not been able to confirm that the Euro-spec projector lenses have the same identifying features described above. Eborgelin, since you are running one ZKW headlight and one AL headlight on your car, please let us know if the projector lenses look different.

Turkey has experienced a week of violence. Last Sunday 4 bombs hit a major tourist resort and Istanbul the country's largest city, injuring 27 people including 10 British tourists. While an explosion in Antayla killed 3 and wounded 2 dozen more. A group fighting for Kurdish rights called the Kurdish Freedoms Falcons claimed responsibility for Sunday's bombing and warned foreign tourists to stay away from Turkey. The attacks have again put the national and international spotlight on the 20-year struggle between Kurdish separatists fighting the Turkish for an independent homeland. Security forces across Turkey are now on high alert following this week's attacks in Istanbul and the coastal resorts of Marmaris and Antalya.
Over two dozen Czech neo-Nazis were arrested in Prague this week, after a protest outside the city's Israeli Embassy. Most of them belonged to a group called National Resistance, who recently asked the Czech President to be allowed to join foreign armed forces to wage war on Israel. How strong is the neo-Nazi movement in the Czech Republic?
For years, the world seemed to ignore Somalia's military and political battles. When the United States tried military intervention, it ended with a hasty retreat as clan warlords ordered dead American troops be dragged through the streets. Now there is renewed interest in trying to find a settlement and see the creation of a viable government. It's fuelled by fears of a country without a real government becoming the perfect hiding place for terrorists and fanatics. Then there are worries over the conflict spreading beyond Somalia's borders - and the river of illegal arms flowing into the country, despite a UN weapons embargo.
In France, the traditional church is struggling to attract new blood but evangelical and charismatic ones are rapidly gaining ground. The country is warming to services that focus on miracles, gospel singing, adult immersions and speaking in tongues. One American preacher recently attracted an unprecedented 4,000 people a day to a meeting, swelling the ranks of France's half a million evangelical followers.
Ask locals in the German city of Munich and they'll tell you that they have great beer. They might also mention that, with a national high of sunny days, the state of Bavaria is the California of Germany. While Munich doesn't have a Pacific Ocean or a Malibu Beach, that's not stopping intrepid locals surfing. Albeit on the local river The Eisbach. Deutsche Welle's Guy Degen reports.

For press inquiries or to schedule an interview with the Attorney General please contact:

About Ellen F. Rosenblum
Attorney General Hardy Myers today announced that a long-distance service provider with offices throughout the country will cease its misleading business practices including "slamming and cramming" as part of an agreement filed today in Marion County Circuit Court. Named in an Assurance of Voluntary Compliance is Qwest Communications, a Delaware corporation.
"Oregonians regularly complain about unauthorized service charges that appear on their monthly phone bills, "Myers said. "In 1999, the "slamming and cramming" by long distance companies was number one on our Top Ten Consumer Complaint List."
In more than 20 complaints against the company, consumers alleged that Qwest was responsible for having their long-distance telephone service switched without authorization (slamming) and misrepresented the cost of long distance services. In one case, an elderly consumer, who was slammed, died weeks before she allegedly authorized the change to Qwest. For several months, the company continued to bill the deceased woman even after receiving complaints from her son.
Department of Justice investigators also determined that Qwest promised free airline tickets to consumers if they would switch long distance service but never provided the tickets.
Qwest, admitting no law violation, agrees to provide restitution to those customers who wish to change their service from Qwest, to re-calculate telephone charges where the actual cost per minute for services was higher than promised and to provide plane tickets as promised to consumers. The company will pay $75,000 to the Department of Justice consumer education fund.
Attorney General Myers urges consumers to read phone bills carefully and to check for unauthorized charges or changes to long distance carriers. Those finding unauthorized charges should file written complaints with the Attorney General's office, the telephone company, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Send the same complaint to each agency or company. Addresses are available by calling the Attorney General's toll-free, consumer hotline at 1-877-877-9392, (503) 378-4320 (Salem area only) or (503) 229-5576 (Portland area only).
A free booklet on "Slamming and Cramming" is available by writing Financial Fraud/ Consumer Protection, 1162 Court Street, N.E., Salem, Oregon 97310.

So each political party uses certain terms, phrases, "code words" with their political base to...wait for it....
But at the end of the day, what they actually implement in terms of social welfare / foreign / economic policy is really no different than the "other" party.
Let me know when you catch up and then we can have a serious discussion on the issues without the silly party masks.
I read the article. Its quaint and boringly obvious. Its biased and uses the same tired tactic the left has been using for 30 years now. It's certainly not any proof as you suggest.
The use of biased sources is, you guessed it, a fallacy.
Your silence about the other thread is deliciously telling though.
Don't make me laugh and don't flatter yourself.
I actually never bothered going back because it's frustrating to speak to people who are so close-minded.
Republicans have racist coded language. That's just a fact. Sorry. If you don't like it, tough. Work on making your party less full of rape-loving, hate-mongering dicks.
Second verse, same as the first
But keep moving those goal posts if it makes you feel better.
Not sure what your cryptic non-response means, but I actually feel quite well.

Bulgarian game developer Masthead Studios has been putting a lot of effort into spreading the word about their upcoming post-apocalytic MMO Earthrise. Massively had a chance to sit down with Masthead Studios CEO Atanas Atanasov at GDC 2009 for a preview of Earthrise which gave us a taste of what to expect from the title, but we're always on the lookout for more info about the game.
We've come across a short interview at QJ.NET with Atanasov that might be worth a read if you're excited about the dystopian MMO. He discusses some of the major game design decisions Masthead Studios made with Earthrise in respect to character progression (both online and offline) as well as departing from a few of the tried-and-true systems found in other MMOs on the market. Have a look at the Earthrise interview over at QJ.NET for more on the sandbox elements of this first release from Masthead Studios.

Oh Festool, what are you going to do to us next?
Festool has a certain way of reimagining a tool and messing with our heads while they're at it. They've done it with circular saws and they've done it with sanders. Now, they're taking a stab at cordless drills. They sent us one of their new 18 volts to check out and it didn't take long for us to see that this time the Fes-mojo is centered around their FastFix chuck system. This feature basically makes the drill a PTO with a trigger. The removable chucks (of which there are four) click on and off a couple of ways and all of them are beyond useful (and all of them are quite durable). We have...
1. Centrotec chuck - This is the basic driver head. It's the smallest attachment and the one we used the most. Centrotec bits click in to the chuck and you're good to go. Standard bits do not fit directly into the mechanism, so you need to be sure not to lose the extension piece or you're toast.
2. The Right-Angle attachment - This is a piece that clicks on and sets the chuck to a right angle to the body of the drill. The attachment sets in and can fully rotate to which ever spot you want before being tightened. It's solid metal and it actually works, as opposed to the stand alone kind that we buy at Home Depot. Because the piece completely attaches to the drill, the amount of control is very high.
3. 3-jawed chuck - Pretty self explanatory here. Can hold up to a 1/2" drill bit. Just click it in and you're all set.
4. Eccentric Chuck - This one is a line drive out of the park. It's basically a little gear box that off-sets the bit to the edge of the attachment. Anyone who has ever installed a drawer slide or hung a cabinet can start to get an understanding of the value here. With this chuck, you can drive a screw right at an inside corner and not mar the surrounding surfaces. Very nice.
5. Bare Bones - The fifth chuck occurs when there is no chuck attached. Just pop a standard 1/4" bit into the PTO end. It also creates a seriously stubby drill, good for tight spots.
Like implied earlier, having all of these options at our fingertips started to change our entire outlook on cordless drills. We used the Festool heavily on the site and while working on the house renovation in the evenings. One day, we'd forgotten the Festool at the house and had to use the compact Makita at the job. Don't get us wrong, we really like the Makita and would recommend it to anyone looking for a nice basic drill. But after using the Festool exclusively for weeks, we had an, "is this all you got?" attitude toward the Makita. The tool just no longer met our expectations of a drill. As we said, Festool gets inside the head.
And we worked this thing over too. We weren't some dainty cabinet-maker tapping away in some nice, clean workshop. We treated this tool with some serious prejudice. A tool this pricey (more on that in a bit) had better stand up to everything we throw at it, no questions asked. So we drove Timberloks, mixed mortar, did delicate finish work, and 'accidentally' dropped it off a couple ladders. The thing held up like a champ. Probably has something to do with the brushless motor or maybe the electronic clutch (that beeps when it engages), we're not sure. But honestly, we'd be happier saying we defeated this tool and left it a smouldering mess in the jobsite dumpster, but we can't say that. It was up to every task we dumped on it and it really seemed unaffected by even the worst of them. There is a feel to this item, (like most Festool tools) that is a feel of quality, of durability, and of superior engineering. That "not made in China" feel, if you know what we mean. From the smooth way the motor kicks on to the noise the clutch makes, everything about this drill is elevated above the norm.
The ergonomics on the T18 are unbelievable. It's not the lightest drill in the world and the battery resembles a boat anchor, but when in use, it's perfectly balanced and we're sure the handle was designed specifically for our hands (but we have a hunch that everyone will say that).
Is it absolutely, 100% perfect? Well of course not, nothing is. There are a few teeny, tiny hitches in our opinion. First, the LED light fades off very quickly, which is fine for drilling purposes, but if you're like us and have gotten into the habit of using your drill as sort of a quick and dirty flashlight, this one won't be your favorite. Second (and this one is really minor), the battery gauge consists of three lights and around the lights is a little sticker with a battery insignia on it. After about three weeks, the sticker has started peeling off....very un-Festool. Why even bother with the sticker?
And as is always the case with Festool products, we need to address the price. You're looking at $625 for the whole package and $510 for the tool, batteries, a charger, case, and just the driver chuck. Yeah. Big numbers, for sure. But, as with all of these things, when you start looking at your daily needs and the the cost-save chart, the numbers start looking smaller and smaller. There are definitely people who will never shell out that kind of cash for a drill when a nice Bosch or DeWalt can be had for less than half that price. Some of the guys we work with were 'ooohing' and 'ahhing' over the drill and when they heard the price, they walked away from us waving their hands in the air. But they also hadn't been using the drill for a couple months. We had, and we're of the opinion (and the Yankee in us can't believe that we're about to say this), that it's worth the money. There, are you happy?
And honestly, if you're going to go for it, we advise going all in. If you're already $500 in, drop the extra $100 for the total experience. Just the drill and driver bit will leave you wanting more.
The T18 is over the top, yes. It's kind ridiculous, yes. But it's also the Porsche of the drill world. So what you really need to do is ask yourself if you're one of the people who is willing to shell out for a Porsche. If not, good luck with that whole, 'pretending not to be jealous' thing.

The LED fading off quickly is a bummer. Oh well - I hope we get more LED light options that can stay on longer. I too use my drill as a glorified flashlight.
Very happy to see a Festool dirtied from use and abuse.
That off center chuck is cool. Not $600 dollar cool, but cool.
Wait, what? Your T18 comes with integrated LED and battery indicator?
Guess they made a mk2 of the little thing. The one I bought a little over a year ago (in Norway) has a external LED that only works with the centrotec-chuck, and no indicator.

The best way, and often the only way, to learn new statistical procedures is by doing. We will therefore make extensive use of a flexible (open-source and free) statistical software program called R and a companion package called Zelig (which we designed for you and those in your position). R is among the most widely used statistical software, and Zelig is a widely used packages in R. You will learn how to program in this class, if you do not know already.
For hardware, you are welcome to use your own computers. To install R and Zelig on your computer, see zeligproject.org. You are also welcome to use the HMDC computer labs (in the concourse and 3rd floor of CGIS North-Knafel, 1737 Cambridge Street), which have computers with R already installed on them. Harvard affiliates also have the option of registering for a Research Computing Environment (RCE) account through http://hmdc.harvard.edu. Having an RCE account allows you access to HMDC's cluster of servers, which are fast and well-equipped to handle large data sets or time-intensive procedures. In addition, these servers supply a persistent (linux) desktop environment that is accessible from any computer with an Internet connection.
Most of the probability and statistical theory in this class will be taught in the context of "Monte Carlo simulation'' (which we do not expect you to know prior to the course). We will write computer programs to verify, or substitute for, more difficult formal mathematical proofs. This intuitive technique will make it much easier to understand and to implement new statistical methods.

Fake who wrecked lives and justice
Onubogu deceived patients and the authorities for a decade
Godwin Onubogu took great steps to fake his life as a doctor, and he was not found out in the surgery, but in a series of courtrooms.
His career as a bogus doctor in south west London had started with a grant from the local council which later tried to shut him down.
But their actions failed and it was another of his money-making schemes which eventually got him into trouble.
He had made half a million pounds over a decade of deception, and then cost the justice system thousands by faking illness during court proceedings.
'Lazy' lab technician
Onubogu was born in Nigeria and came to Britain in 1966, where he passed O-levels and the first year of an Open University Science Foundation Course.
He worked in London as a lab technician. A former colleague told the Old Bailey trial he was "lazy, arrogant, dilatory and incompetent".
He was from a family of successful professionals but struggled to live up to this.
"All he wanted to do was to call himself doctor. He clearly thought of degrees as only a formality," said Louise Kamill, who prosecuted at his trial.
He did this by deception in the late 1980s, moving into premises in south west London and setting up a laboratory testing company with the help of an enterprise agency grant.
The business was known as Iketam Clinical Laboratory Services, and eventually based at Swan House, Balham High Road, south west London.
It was not illegal, but over a ten year period, Onubogu used it as a front to see around 400 "patients", earning an estimated half a million pounds from his activities.
The deception was detailed and convincing.
Onubogu wore medical clothing and a stethoscope, there were syringes and a prescription pad in his surgery, along with evidence of qualifications including photographs of him in academic robes.
Onubogu's usual tactic was to tell a person they had a sexually transmitted disease.
It worked since the victim was discreet and paid what was needed to clear up the non-existent condition.
But it had devastating effects.
Once he even accused a woman of sleeping around.
When she protested that she had only one partner he asked her how she could be sure that he was not being unfaithful.
The court heard how this, and two other relationships failed because of mistrust.
He also indecently assaulted a 15-year-old girl while examining her, and gave injections and prescribed medicines to other "patients".
Failed attempt
The enterprise grant came in the late 1980s from Wandsworth Council but by 1992 the council was suspicious.
The Health and Safety Executive, the General Medical Council and the Royal College of Pathologists, all said they were powerless to act.
It was another money-making scheme which proved Onubogu's downfall.
He frequently appeared as an expert witness, defending motorists in court, but a police forensic scientist suspected all was not well, and reported him.
Police acted quickly and arrested Onubogu.
Once caught, Onubogu claimed heart problems meant he could not appear in court, but medical examinations proved he was faking this too.
The trial was originally listed to start in February this year, but Onubogu, who was on bail, failed to appear on time.
The following day he was sent for a medical examination, but turned up late for this before going home, claiming to be unwell.
After being ordered back to court the next morning, he collapsed that evening.
The trial had to be adjourned despite an examination proved his good health the following morning.
Onubogu's bail was withdrawn, but in April he again failed to appear for the re-trial, with the judge instead being presented with a two-line sicknote from Brixton prison hospital.
Again tests showed he was healthy, but as jurors were about to be sworn in at the Old Bailey, Onubogu lay down in dock, declaring: "I am not well. I need a doctor. The judge is trying to kill me."
He was hauled on to a chair - and promptly sank back on to the floor.
Again tests were performed - this time in the dock - and Judge Gerald Gordon decided to continue with the trail stating, "it is a matter for him if he continues to lie on the floor".
Onubogu finally decided that he would sit up properly just before the jurors were called in.
They heard his tale of deception, before finding him guilty of a list of offences.
He was jailed for five years, with the judge calling him a "charlatan".
Questions are bound to be asked of the health and legal systems as to how he was allowed to get away with it for so long.

'Retro World' a Facebook adventure for older gamers
Elvis may have left the building, but he can be found on Facebook.
Retro World is a new online game that revives famous celebs of yesteryear — like Presley, Marilyn Monroe or John Belushi— as well as living legends, including Dick Clark.
Aimed at the 40-and-over crowd, Entertainment Games' free Facebook offering fuses Hollywood nostalgia and past pop culture references with point-and-click adventure games popularized in the '90s.
MORE: Saltzman columns
BLOG: Game Hunters
While many parts of the game are still under construction (marked by "Coming Soon" banners), Retro World should provide hours of enjoyable, lighthearted gameplay.
After you type in your name and select an available avatar, you'll begin Retro World on a Hollywood set. You'll click around to the different areas, interact with characters and accept missions, such as bringing a starlet some sushi — after you've found a suitable knife for the chef in the props closet. Some items will be added to your inventory to use at a later time, while you'll also solve environmental puzzles, such as rewiring a fuse box.
But the real fun doesn't start until you choose to play one of the "Shows" at the movie theater, beginning with a '60s-style spy thriller, "Owl Files," which pays homage to James Bond, Communists, the Space Race, and so on. While Dick Clark plays himself as the game's host, of sorts, other licensed stars assume the role of fictional characters in these story-driven tales; Monroe is a sexy spy in "Owl Files," for example, while Presley plays as a doctor in an upcoming show.
Along with earning badges, gamers will also receive Retro Bucks for completing missions such as remaining undetected while planting a bug in a hotel room telephone. These virtual dollars can be used to purchase new avatars, items and other goodies to help enhance the interactive experience. Players can also buy more Retro Bucks using Facebook Credits, which are purchased with real money. Entertainment Games says there will also be brand-sponsored items in the game to help drive revenue.
Retro World also has a number of minigames to indulge in at the arcade, including multiple versions of mahjong, fishing and golf diversions, and one that has a monkey climb a tower to diffuse a bomb — first seen at the end of the "Owl Files" episode. Coming soon: the ability to customize and race vintage cars, a "friends" hub to see what others are doing, your own customizable luxury home and access to other playable shows that take place in the 1950s to the 1980s.
Most of the graphics in Retro World are still images, mixing real actors with virtual objects and sets, but animation sequences and music helps to bring the stories to life. These aren't near-photorealistic Call of Duty visuals mind you, but most Facebook gamers know not to expect that from free, online games.
While it's exclusive to Facebook at this time, Retro World is expected to debut on other social network platforms, such as Google+, as well as tablets.

24 Prequel, "Redemption," Looks Intense, Scary
24 Prequel, "Redemption," Looks Intense, Scary
I've had a love-hate relationship with 24 for a long time, now. When it's bad, it's preposterously bad, but when it's good, it's one of the best things ever. Like, jumping off the couch yelling, kind of thing. But whenever I return to the "hate" side, I always hope there will be something to lure me back.
The preview for the show's two-hour "event" in November might be just the bait. There's more of the same ol' 24 antics (Jack enduring outrageous horrors, Jack screaming urgently at pretty much everyone, an astounding barrage of gunfire — none of which manages to affect our hero at all), but this time Jack Bauer is "battling an international crisis" in war-torn Africa. Meanwhile, our shady Tom Lennox (Peter MacNicol) chats with the new President of the United States who is, in 24's timely fashion, a woman.
The seventh season doesn't actually begin until 2009, but this two-hour "prequel" will air Nov. 23. To watch the intense preview,

WCH in Contempt of Court
The 12th District Court of Appeals has ruled that the city of Washington Court House is in contempt of court for not paying Ohio EPA fines from sewage overflows into Paint Creek, Court News Ohio reports.
CNO said the EPA filed a suit against Washington Court House back in '06 "to address continual issues of raw sewage overflows that happened mostly when rain storm water emptied into the sewer system sending sewage into streets, basements, and the creek."
In 2007, the city and EPA established a consent decree that the city would develop a plan by 2008 to correct the problem and complete the work by 2011; however, the city found that it would not be able to meet the standards until 2028.
CNO reports the city reported the times it exceeded the permit discharge limits and that the city paid $58,000 in fines from 2007 to 2010. However, the city didn't pay for 2011-2012.

|ATV Safety Tips You Can't Ignore
Gearing up for fun on an ATV? Before you hit the trail, make sure you're protected with the proper safety equipment.
According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, four of every ten people hospitalized with injuries from ATV misuse are under the age of sixteen. In fact, in 1993 the Department of Health estimated that fifty people were seriously wounded from utility ATV related accidents. This number includes recreational riding, and does not take into consideration the number of agriculture-related ATV accidents.
ATV riding looks like a lot of fun, but why are there so many ATV related accidents? While many use these off-road four-wheeled machines as utility vehicles, they have become quite popular as recreational vehicles. The lack of understanding of safety procedures and sheer misuse attributes to the large number of accidents. On the other hand, professionals who use sport ATVs report fewer accidents. These trained riders know the dangers, and play by the rules.
If you ride an ATV, you need to take precautions to ensure that you don't become another Department of Health statistic. Using common sense and riding responsibly is the best way to stay safe and have fun. Know the safety rules, and wear good quality protective gear.
Protecting Yourself on an ATV
Body ProtectionIt's always a good idea to wear full body protection while driving or riding on an ATV, even if you're only going a short distance. Full body gear protects you from head to toe. Make sure that you have a CSA-approved ATV helmet, plus goggles, gloves, boots and a body suit. Those who race ATVs need to give special consideration to their safety gear, as they'll be traveling through some pretty rough terrain and facing treacherous challenges. Even the tiniest stone or tree branch can cause blindness, and the right turn at the wrong time can lead to a rollover.
There are proper ATV suits available on the market, but any long sleeve jacket and long tight pants can provide sufficient body protection. Choose durable fabrics, and avoid those materials that can be easily snagged with twigs or debris. Wear boots and gloves at all times, and consider wearing shin guards or padded clothing for complete safety protection.
Head ProtectionHead injury lasts forever, and no one is immune from suffering this type of injury. A certified helmet is the single most important piece of safety equipment. Choose a helmet that is specifically designed for ATV use, as it will provide the proper amount of face protection. Aside from keeping you safe from injury in the event of a crash, face protectors shield you from being hurt by flying debris. This is a major concern, particularly for those who race ATVs. Again, a single fall can result in paralysis and even death. Do not ride an ATV without a proper helmet.
Eye ProtectionMost ATV helmets have clear plastic face shields designed to protect the eyes. If your helmet does not provide eye protection, be sure to invest in a pair of good quality goggles, or glasses with hard lenses. Do not wear glasses with regular lenses, as these can easily shatter when struck by a loose stone.
Proper ATV gear is available at specialty shops. Dicez.com has our own discount ATV gear store. If you'd like to view other options online, check ridegear.com. Ride Gear caters to the needs of all sorts of riders. From dirt bikes to watercrafts to snowmobiles, they have all the protection an extreme rider needs. There is a product section dedicated solely to the needs of ATV riders, including safety gear and machine upgrades.
Have fun on your ATV, but play it safe. Don't become another statistic in the rising number of ATV related accident. See a professional outfitter and protect yourself before you hit the trails.

Crushers lose 5-3, need a Saturday win to keep season alive
ANTIGONISH – The Amherst Ramblers will head home with a chance to put the Pictou County Crushers out of the Maritime Hockey League playoffs.
Former Crushers goalie commits to AUS club for September
Former Weeks Crushers goalie Brandon Thibeau makes a save during a game against the Truro Bearcats last season. Recently he finalized that he will be in a backup role next season with the UdeM Aigles Bleus men's hockey team.
MONCTON – If Brandon Thibeau didn't have a Moncton checklist to start his hockey career you wouldn't know it.
Come September the Riverview native and former Weeks Crushers goalie will suit up for the last possible high-level hockey team he can play for in the city.
Thibeau played for the Moncton Flyers (midget AAA), Dieppe Commandos, Moncton Wildcats and in the fall will become a member of the Université de Moncton Aigles Bleus.
It was a possibility that Thibeau and the Atlantic University Sport (AUS) squad have been discussing since the fall of 2013. He said the discussion has always been centred on what would work best for their team and if his playing with them was something that would actually happen.
"I loved my time in Pictou County, was treated really well and had a great time with my billets (Dexter and Karen Megeney) there and they made it easy for me to live away from home," he said. "But as far as coming home it's awesome because my family is all here, my girlfriend (Janik Robichaud) lives here and we'll be able to live together, so everything just fell into place for me to come back to Moncton.
"It's definitely a nice homecoming being able to play for the last team I'm able to play with in Moncton."
In a little under two seasons with Pictou County he played in 98 regular season and playoff games. In his first year (2012-13) he had a 3.54 GAA and 0.900 save percentage in 36 regular season games before a 2.55 GAA and 0.925 save percentage in nine playoff games.
During his the 2013-14 season, his first full year as a Crusher, he played 43 games. He lowered his GAA to 2.72 and improved his save percentage to 0.917.
"Jason (Malone) and everyone were very good to give me my space as far as my goaltending role went," said Thibeau. "Jason was always very respectful of letting me do my own thing and find my own path. He wouldn't meddle with my goaltending ways or whatever you want to call it. Then of course being away from home for the first time my billets made me a lot more comfortable with a lot of different situations – so that time there (in Pictou County) definitely did a lot for me."
Joining the UdeM program in the fall he will be the younger of their two goalies, coming into a backup role behind Adrien Lemay. Lemay played 21 of 28 games for the Aigles Bleus last season, finishing with a 10-11-0 record in the regular season. He posted a 3.27 GAA and 0.897 save percentage.
"He has been there for a few years and has played pro hockey, so as far as a role on the team I'll have to fight for every minute of playing time that I get and try to push him and earn my respect in the league."
Now a 21-year-old, Thibeau said to be able to push Lemay he needs to be prepared to come opening day. With a short AUS season game-wise he said he has been working with his goalie coaches to have him as ready as possible for when the team starts skating together.
"You're playing with men now, not boys, so you have to make sure you're up to par with their strength, quickness and all of that," said Thibeau.
Moncton wasn't the only school he said he looked at, both academically and athletically. A psychology major and biology minor, he is focused on receiving a science degree. By doing so he hopes to keep as many doors open in the field of science as possible.
"I spoke to three or four other schools and looked at some options, but this one made more sense and they showed the most interest," he said. "As far as that goes it was a pretty easy decision for me and my schooling."
Having attended games as a kid he said it is an honour to have the opportunity to wear an Aigles Bleus jersey.
"It's a huge honour and knowing goalies that have played there in the past it's very nice to be put in the same jersey as those goalies – there's been a lot of good players come through there too," he said. "As far as academics I know it's a great school and the program I want to take they have a very good program. It's definitely an honour to be able to go."
