Digital Shorelines for Boston Harbor
Boston Harbor Shoreline Files to Download
Each shoreline file is an ASCII file containing a list of decimal latitudes and longitudes. They are provided in slightly different formats appropriate for different computer applications. The files intended for use in MapInfo and ARC/INFO have the necessary headers and format for these GIS packages to read the latitudes/longitudes as endpoints of connecting line segments. The last file has no special formatting and is simply 2 columns of the lat/long points with column headings to reflect this. This file is easily imported into a spreadsheet or a text editor to add formatting for some other application. Also, there are programs that will translate the .gen and .mif files into other formats retaining the line segment information. Click on the file name below that you would like to download. (Choose "File > Save as" from your browser window's menu if you don't automatically get the option to save it to your disk.)

Update 3 | John Dalli resigns, will challenge OLAF: 'I will defend my name' [full statement]
Maltese entrepreneur used his contacts with John Dalli to try to gain financial advantage from the company in return for seeking to influence possible future legislative proposal on tobacco products.
Matthew Vella
16 October 2012, 12:00am
European Union Commissioner John Dalli has today announced his resignation as a member of the Commission, with immediate effect.
In comments to MaltaToday, Dalli said he will fight to clear his name. "There are no facts or proof over my involvement. They just invented something and it's all circumstantial evidence," Dalli said.
In later comments to TVHEMM on national station TVM, Dalli said he was verbally informed of the OLAF investigation and that the EU-watchdog admitted that he had not participated "in any way" with whatever trading in influence was going on, and that no members of his staff was involved.
"They are basing themselves on circumstantial evidence because they claim I should have known what was going on," Dalli reiterated.
"I am speaking to my lawyers to open the necessary procedure to prove that these conclusions are false. I will keep working so that the efforts I made to review the tobacco directive that was going to propose stronger anti-smoking laws will proceed as schedule."
Dalli denied knowing of any negotiations between Swedish Match and the as yet unnamed Maltese middleman who claimed he could influence EU legislation. Dalli said he knows who this person is, but refused to state the identity of this person.
"I resigned so that I could have a free hand in opposing the allegations made about me," Dalli said, but would not comment on whether EC president Jose Manuel Durao Barroso had forced his resignation.
"I don't want to be a liability to anyone," he went on to say, adding that one should expect further developments in the coming days.
"For me this is a déjà vu," Dalli added, in reference to the 2004 fabricated report which led to his resignation as minister. He insisted that his decision to resign was motivated by his desire "to have a free hand" in his attempts to clear his name.
Meanwhile, New Europe has reported that the European Commission has "refused" to distribute Dalli's press statement.
"This afternoon I was informed verbally by the President of the Commission of the conclusion of an OLAF investigation about an alleged attempt to influence my decisions in respect of the ongoing review of the Tobacco Directive.
"Even though the OLAF report states that there is no evidence of my direct participation in these events and that the decision making process of the Commission Services had not been influenced in any way, OLAF concluded that I was aware of these events basing themselves ONLY on circumstantial evidence.
"I deny categorically that I was in any way aware of any of these events. I am taking all action open to me to ensure that these unfounded conclusions will be proved completely false. I will continue to work so that all efforts made by myself and my services to revise the Tobacco Directive will proceed as planned."
Dalli informed the President of the European Commission Jose Manuel Barroso of his decision following an investigation by OLAF, the EU's antifraud office, into a complaint made in May 2012 by the tobacco producer, Swedish Match.
The company alleged that a Maltese entrepreneur had used his contacts with Dalli to try to gain financial advantages from the company in return for seeking to influence a possible future legislative proposal on tobacco products, in particular on the EU export ban on snus. As soon as the Commission received the complaint it immediately requested OLAF to investigate.
The OLAF final report was sent to the Commission on 15 October. It found that the Maltese entrepreneur had approached the company using his contacts with Dalli and sought to gain financial advantages in exchange for influence over a possible future legislative proposal on snus. No transaction was concluded between the company and the entrepreneur and no payment was made. The OLAF report did not find any conclusive evidence of the direct participation of Dalli but did consider that he was aware of these events.
The OLAF report showed clearly that the European Commission's decision making process and the position of the services concerned has not been affected at all by the matters under investigation.
The final OLAF report and its recommendations are being sent by OLAF to the Attorney General of Malta. It will now be for the Maltese judiciary to decide how to follow up.
After the President informed Dalli about the report received from OLAF, Dalli decided to resign in order to be able to defend his reputation and that of the Commission. Dalli categorically rejects these findings.
Barroso has decided that Vice President Maros Sefcovic will take over the portfolio of Dalli on an interim basis until a new Commissioner of Maltese nationality is appointed in accordance with article 246 (2) of the Treaty on the functioning of the European Union.
Giovanni Kessler, Director-General of OLAF will be available in the press room after the midday briefing tomorrow.
His resignation comes two years before the end of his term. A former finance and foreign minister, Dalli lost the race for the PN leadership in 2004 to Lawrence Gonzi.
Shortly after being appointed foreign minister, Dalli resigned as minister in July 2004 after being implicated in a false report by a private investigator of having accepted kickbacks on a medical equipment tender for Mater Dei. He was appointed Lawrence Gonzi's special advisor on economic affairs after he was cleared of the report's implications, while the private investigator was sentenced to two years' imprisonment. Dalli was later appointed social policy minister in 2008.

I would agree with Pollina, but I would appreciate if HalfEUCitizen exposed fuller details and gave substance to his statement.
justin spiteri •
Appointing Dalli was the single biggest mistake Gonzi ever did for Malta. The many people in Europe who do not know where Malta is, now know it as the place with a corrupt commissioner. Can we not understand that being a Commissioner for 500 million people is infinitely more important than our squabbles in local politics? We needed a serious person there, not somebody who's past is littered with corruption allegations and who cannot get his head out of the politics of this little island.
George Zammit Montebello •
Nothing seems to go right for Mr. Dalli. I suspect that his arch enemy is behind this and he is an Ambassador.
Miriam Rizzo •
Dalli also voted in favour of GM crops - all the while pretending to be against it. Dalli and Gonzi - the best the PN party has to offer!

I think that in respect of transparency the name of the Maltese entrepreneur should be revealed either by OLAF, the EU's antifraud office,or by the Maltese Attorney General's Office.

I smell a rat, or as FD would put it, a long-tailed rat at the top... Let's see... In February Dali is rumoured to possibly challenge Gonzi in what became a one-horse show of an 'election' for the Revered Leader, then in May this complaint is raised that some cuc Malti businessman probably attempted the oldest trick in the Malta-business-playbook by trying to cut a better deal saying "I know so and so" to the wrong person at a Swiss company... Definitely smells like history repeating itself to sideline a potential challenger after the forthcoming total thrashing at the general election polls... I'd say to check into the political affiliations of the person who raised the 'complaint'...

Wimbledon agree ground sale to Chelsea
The Dons Trust, owners of AFC Wimbledon, have exchanged contracts with Chelsea for the sale of their Kingsmeadow stadium.
Chelsea want to use the ground for their youth and ladies' teams.
The deal will not be finalised until a number of conditions have been met, which include the Dons obtaining final planning permission for a new home.
Their plans to develop the greyhound stadium in Plough Lane are being scrutinised by the Mayor of London.
The decision by the Mayor's office followed Merton Borough Council approving Wimbledon's application for the greyhound stadium site.
Funds raised by the sale of Kingsmeadow to Chelsea will help towards the cost of their proposed new ground, which will have a capacity of 20,000.
AFC Wimbledon won promotion to League One via the play-offs last month and chief executive Erik Samuelson described the deal as "a major milestone".
He continued: "The proceeds of this deal are an essential part of the financing of the new stadium.
"The vision of a return to Merton, with all the community benefits it also brings, is now becoming very real."
The Dons have played at Kingsmeadow, which is also home to non-league side Kingstonian, since their formation in 2002.
They bought the ground from the K's in 2003 and as part of the sale to Chelsea will make a "substantial donation" to Kingstonian, allowing the Ryman League club to secure their future at another ground in or around Kingston.

I couldn't find anything about this on the forum already. I'm trying to copy and then past/match in Mac Word but the option isn't available when copying from Accordance. Is there a workaround for this? I've abandoned pages since the most recent iteration, so this is the first time having to deal with MS Word...
Paste and match formatting

Posted 04 April 2014 - 08:21 AM
Have you tried the keyboard shortcut command+option+shift+V to paste what you have copied? I don't have Word on this computer, so can't test it just now, but at least within other Mac apps, that works to match target formatting.
Posted 04 April 2014 - 08:38 AM
Yes and it works perfectly on anything except MSWord. If I copy from Accordance and then switch to Word, that menu option is actually greyed out. It works fine if I copy to Word from any other app though.
Posted 04 April 2014 - 08:38 AM
Ah, bummer--sorry to hear that.
Posted 04 April 2014 - 08:42 AM
I was just going to say that it's possible, and that I had assigned a shortcut key to it when I noticed it was working for my sample of text copied from Safari, but not Accordance. We'll look into this.
By the way, I recommend Joe's script library, which includes a Word plugin.

Posted 10 June 2015 - 05:52 PM
I have the same problem. I noticed that when I have a chunk of Accordance text copied to the clipboard and I exit Word it asks if I want to have that picture available to other programs so it appears that Word thinks the Accordance text is a picture for some reason.
This isn't an issue copying from any other application, only Accordance. Is there something in the copy command that triggers this?
I'm on Accordance 11.0.6 and Word for Mac 2011 14.5.1 on a 13" Macbook Air mid 2013 running OS X 10.10.3
Posted 11 June 2015 - 08:37 AM
If you are working with MS Word for Mac (2011), choose "Paste Special" (Cmd+Cntrl+V) and select "Unformatted Text."
If you have MS for Word (2015 [Preview)], you can select "Paste and Match Formatting (Cmd+Opt+Shift+V).

Yes, that's what I'm doing now. It isn't horrible but it is an extra steps to Paste Special then Unformatted Text. It would be nice to just go straight to it. So Word 2015 for Mac will work properly? Depending on the price, I may have to upgrade. Thanks.
Posted 11 June 2015 - 11:55 AM
Yes, it's working well and very nice to be able to save that extra step.
Word is one of the few programs I use constantly, so I stay up to date on it. I decided to pay a $9.99/month subscription price for Word, so I got the preview Mac and PC program for 5 family computers as well as the iPhone/iPad apps. It's about the same price as I used to pay every two years to upgrade the program on all the family computers.
I wish I could report that MS has also made substantial progress on RTL languages, but it ain't so.

Max Clifford, the publicist, was a sexual predator and paedophile who preyed on vulnerable youngsters for decades and may have had dozens of victims.
The public relations expert, whose fingerprints are over some of the most memorable stories of the past 50 years and who thought that he was untouchable, was confirmed yesterday as one of the country's most notorious sex offenders.
He was found guilty at Southwark crown court of eight indecent assaults on women and girls as young as 15.
Last night it was reported that Simon Cowell had become the first client to sever his links with Clifford and many others are expected to follow. Clifford has admitted that his corporate clients have already told him that they had to "move away",…

"It's not just a car! It's not just a bike! It's a little bit of both things with wheels that you like! When you take one wheel off a car or add one wheel to a bike; you get the Can-Am Spyder. It's a trike!"
Hmm. I've missed my calling.
But the Spyder is not a standard-form trike with two rear wheels and one in front. Following the basic format of pre-war Morgans, it's a two-fronted tail-wheeler; best to land power to earth via a single rear orb while steering with a wide wheelbase set of dual mag-hubbed front tyres. And it works very well.
But let's begin with a little bit of background ...
The Spyder is generated by the company that first devised the snowmobile, and is possibly easiest understood as a kind of snowmobile for the road. The proportions are similar and the position of the rider/driver essentially interchangeable.
That company is now known as BRP (Bombardier Recreational Products), and an unconventional and sparky enterprise it is.
For BRP, already with substantial market share for vehicles bound for snow (snowmobiles), dirt (quad bikes) and water (Sea-Doos), the Spyder represents a first serious bid for street sales.
It's a risky, mega-millions move, but company CEO Jose Boisjoli is comfortable with risk.
As a child growing up on a Quebec farm he took to riding speedy snowcraft, and now in his 50s maintains a fondness for rapid personal transport.
Boisjoli's an unlikely looking petrolhead. Bespectacled and slight, you'd pick him as the company accountant long before you'd pick him as a user of BRP's machines, let alone this enterprise's main driver.
Then he begins talking about the Spyder's development.
"The first prototype used a two-stroke engine," he says. "Solidly mounted. Very fast."
He rolls his eyes at the memory. "So fast!"
Then came tamer — only slightly tamer — roadworthy versions.
"They were all fun, but they weren't completely safe for public use," Boisjoli says.
How so?
"Our test riders would be on two wheels when they hit highway exits."
His eyes positively sparkle.
"And entries."
Those two-wheeling days are long gone, years back.
During test rides at the Spyder's Austrian launch last month, even the most desperate trike try-hards struggled to push their machines into an imbalanced or awkward stance.
The Spyder's natural grip is impressively high, and over even that the complex Bosch traction and balance electronics work hard to counter maniac moments. (There are many patents pending on the Spyder's various tilt-and-steer computerised controls; how many exactly, Boisjoli isn't saying.)
So, let's roll a Spyder out on some lightly infested Austrian roads.
The V-twin Rotax engine starts instantly via handlebar commands and settles quickly into a mild pulsing beat. Possibly too mild — the engine is heavily muffled and may not offer much sonic appeal to the Harley-Davidson retiree set (although its quietness may appeal to neighbours of the Harley-Davidson retiree set).
Select first gear through the foot-activated motorcycle gear lever — one down, four up — and you're away.
I hadn't ridden anything even resembling a motorcycle for 20 years before I took to the Spyder, but it's weird how muscle memories simply kick in.
The first time I needed to brake I reached for a lever in front of my right hand. It wasn't there, as it was on my Kawasaki in 1986.
All Spyder braking is done through a right-foot pedal.
Lucky that the three wheel discs bite quickly, or my brief hand-foot confusion may have led to an unanticipated Australian-Austrian interface moment.
Boisjoli is a fan of the Rotax engine's rompy sub-5000rpm antics, and it's hard to disagree with him. A certain amount of vibration adds character.
To quote the CEO and the Beach Boys, you can have "good vibrations".
Above 5000rpm the Rotax begins to sing; it'll pull beyond 8000rpm, at which point upshifts become addictive fun.
Corners arrive quickly when behaving so.
Those with a motorcycle background (that is to say, almost all at the launch) adapted more rapidly to medium-high-speed Spyder handling than those more used to four wheels (that is to say, me), but Bosch stability electrics are always there to rescue the unwary.
I'll flatter myself and assume I was riding quickly enough for Herr Bosch to occasionally kick in.
He's an unobtrusive co-pilot.
The potential market for the Spyder in Australia is immense.
There's any number of former motorcyclists who crave open-air travel without risking contact with open-wound gravel. Also, the Spyder's snappy acceleration will sate those missing motorcycling's instant right-twist responsiveness.
This machine has some serious zest.
Against that — and here we must note again BRP's fondness for risk — the Spyder is a trike.
It's an oddball deal, like a Segway, although not nearly as pointless. Its makers believe the "what on Earth is that?" factor will encourage sales.
But it'll be a bold Sydneysider who owns the first Spyder in his/her street.
Then again, the first Valiant Charger owner was likely a bold sort, and those coupes sold like hell.
Helped by a famous jingle, of course; perhaps BRP could revive it, and have customers screaming: "Hey, Spyder!"
The Bottom Line
A quirky answer to a question few so far have thought to ask. Despite the quirks, the machine does have a practical side.
Can-Am Spyder
Price: $US14,990 (TBA in Australia).
Engine: Rotax 998cc, V-twin liquid cooled, with 79kW and 104nM.

Former president, Olusegun Obasanjo has lashed out at the Nigerian system criticising some aspects of the administration of Goodluck Jonathan and Muhammadu Buhari. Premium Times reports that the former president delivered the keynote address at the First Akintola Williams Annual Lecture in Lagos on Wednesday, November 23. Read Six important things Obasanjo said in his keynote address below;
1. If the Judiciary is being cleaned, what of the National Assembly which stinks much worse than the Judiciary? Budget padding must not go unpunished. It is a reality, which is a regular and systemic practice. Nobody should pull wool over the eyes of Nigerians.
2. The National Assembly cabal of today is worse than any cabal that anybody may find anywhere in our national governance system at any time. Members of the National Assembly pay themselves allowances for staff and offices they do not have or maintain. Once you are a member, you are co-opted and your mouth is stuffed with rottenness and corruption that you cannot opt out as you go home with not less than N15 million a month for a Senator and N10 million a month for a member of the House of Representatives. The National Assembly is a den of corruption by a gang of unarmed robbers.
3. If we borrow some thirty billion dollars in less than three years, we would have mortgaged the future of Nigeria for well over thirty years to come.
4. The blanket adverse comments or castigation of all democratic administrations from 1999 by the present administration is uncharitable, fussy and uninstructive. Politics apart, I strongly believe that there is a distinction between the three previous administrations that it would be unfair to lump them all together.
5. The public should be solicited for feedback to identify information of greatest and most vital use to the public. When I was President of Nigeria, I adopted regular public discussion on radio and television with questions and answers as one means of achieving this objective. The value of openness in government engagement with citizen to improve services, manage public resources, promote innovation and create safer and more secure communities must be upheld.
6. We must ensure that by law, review of our Constitution, convention, advocacy and awareness-raising, we stamp out brazenness, impunity and utter irresponsibility in governance and ensure accountability in any arm, ministry, department, parastatal or unit of government.

Hello guys , i have an Samsung S24D590L (seemed overclocable at 75hz with no frameskipping in test , but in games it causes stuttering in some situasions) , so i decided to buy 1 more monitor for my gaming purpose and have this lps panel to watch movies or whatever else. I was about to buy the asus VG248QE but it has PWM , flickering and image seemed too dark , using lightboost gets darker even if it seems to have better colours than benq.
I can find the Benq for 305euros and Lg for 343euros , is it worth the extra euros? Lg colours reviews seems better than both benq and asus while it has a build in strobe light (i think they call it 240) . Will it be better than benq when both monitors are using strobe light?
I saw this video , https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8D5V1dDCSag Omg why Benq colours so bad? I mean ok its for gaming , not asking for the best colours but that is unexceptable!!!
What about the variety of settings and screen dimm in both screens after enabling strobe light?
(My system is powerful enough to run every last game 120hz/120fps)
Help me guys , so i can make the right decision
Thank you!

Structural Adjustment of the Greek Economy
This study analyses the likely pattern of structural adjustment of the Greek economy as economic integration proceeds, in light of the structural rigidities present in the commodity, capital and labour markets. The presence of such rigidities is attributed to `state corporatism', identified as the prevalent mode of economic and social organization characterized by an interlocking set of interests and entitlements across the state, financial institutions and traditional industry. The state-corporatist environment has condoned and fostered the development of dual markets and has given rise to allocative inefficiencies in their operations. Integration challenges the fundamentals of state corporatism through trade and capital market liberalization, through exposure of the official sector to external competition and through the requirements imposed by macroeconomic policy coordination. In the short run, unemployment is likely to rise as profitability in the traded-good sector declines. In the medium run, industrial restructuring and increased competition could produce efficiency gains. The policy challenge is to redress internal and external imbalances and at the same time implement a sustainable programme for development, where there is structural adjustment with growth.

Hart joins up with England at St George's Park tomorrow, preparing for the qualifiers against San Marino and most significantly Montenegro. He has had mixed reviews this season yet it would have been harsh to focus any criticism on the 25-year-old at Goodison Park yesterday. Everton were too determined and City too lacking in leaders outfield.
Hart began well, making a good punch clear from John Heitinga. He was then caught out by Leon Osman's swerving shot, something that might be attempted again at St George's Park this week. Hart looked flat-footed, watching the ball fly past him. Osman was quick to defend him afterwards, praising "a fantastic keeper".
Like most keepers, Hart will analyse Osman's goal but one of his many strengths is that he does not dwell darkly on any mistakes, perceived or real. Hart had little to occupy him in the second period, barring rushing out to clear a long ball from Jan Mucha and then watching helplessly as Nikica Jelavic's shot looped over him.
This season, Hart has not been in the imperious form that saw him voted by his peers into the PFA Team of the Year in 2009-2010 and 2011-12. He was beaten by Sunderland's Adam Johnson at the near post at the Stadium of Light on Boxing Day. He slipped up against Southampton, gifting the ball to Jason Puncheon and then failing to hold Rickie Lambert's shot and Steven Davis scored.
Mancini held Hart partly responsible for the defeat to Real Madrid.
Hart erred against Cristiano Ronaldo late on but it has been too easily overlooked that he earlier made saves from Ronaldo and Gonzalo Higuain twice. Borussia Dortmund had 17 shots on target at the Etihad yet scored once because of Hart's brilliance against Mario Gotze and Robert Lewandowski in particular.
For all the brickbats occasionally thrown Hart's way, he remains an exceptional goalkeeper and still improving at only 25. His England record is good: only 21 goals conceded (one every 113 minutes), 15 clean sheets, a saved penalty in his 28 appearances. He has suffered only two defeats, both friendlies. (The penalty shoot-out loss to Italy, in which Hart hardly distinguished himself, gets registered in the record books as a draw.) England will need Hart at his best in Podgorica next week. If he plays well, England will take a huge stride towards the 2014 World Cup.

"Life is like riding a bicycle – in order to keep your balance, you must keep moving." ~Albert Einstein
Bicycles were introduced in the 19th century and now number about one billion worldwide. For most of the world, the bicycle is still the most used mode of transportation. In the U.S. there are 100 million bicycles, but most of us don't use them on a regular basis. Sixty years of car-centered transportation planning have left us with an infrastructure that makes bicycling seem difficult. Only 10% of all trips in the U.S. are on bicycle or on foot.
That's too bad because, as recently as 2007, less than half of all Americans met the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) recommendations for physical activity from work, transportation or leisure time exercise, and 13.5 percent did not get any physical activity at all.
Getting Americans to increase physical activity during leisure hours hasn't succeeded. Most people consider physical activity "exercise" that must be worked into their daily routine. So, it's easy to put obstacles such as time, money or motivation in the way. Reintroducing activity into daily routines is an easy way to overcome such obstacles.
Bicycling is one way to do that. You can leave your car at home, get to a destination and be active at the same time.
Cycling is easy to incorporate into your life. If you've ridden a bike before it's just a matter of getting your balance back, and if not, there is not a steep learning curve. Bicycling doesn't require a lot of expensive equipment (beyond a bike and a helmet). You don't need a super fancy (or expensive) bicycle unless you are planning on going off road or tackling hilly terrain. In many parts of the U.S. you can cycle year-round, and build it into your daily routine by cycling to work and to do errands. Most people can continue cycling into their 70's and 80's.
But, whether you bicycle for transportation, physical activity or pleasure, bicycling is a low-impact, aerobic workout that provides many health benefits and can be enjoyed throughout your entire life. The Well Adult lists bicycling among the most beneficial and effective aerobic exercises because it achieves conditioning and causes few injuries to muscles and joints.
Improves Immune System. The immune system helps the body fight sickness and disease. Several studies have shown that cycling helps strengthen the immune system.
Builds Strong Muscles. Cycling helps strengthen the muscles, especially the legs. According to Swim, Bike, Run, bicycling regularly strengthens three muscle groups: the quadriceps, gluteals and hamstrings.
A Healthier Heart. Cycling strengthens the heart, which improves blood circulation and reduces blood fat levels and resting pulse. Riding as little as 30 minutes every other day meets the American Heart Association's recommendations for a healthy heart. Cycling is one the best low impact aerobic exercises.
Helps Increase Metabolism. Harvard Heart Letter reports that bicycling is an excellent exercise for losing weight. Cycling burns calories and raises the metabolic rate, so you burn more calories while at rest Bicycling more than 20 mph is tied for first place with running a six-minute mile for the best of the 100 exercises listed in the letter's "Calories Burned In 30 Minutes" chart.
Mental Stress. Cycling not only offers physical benefits it also helps with mental health. Cycling's rhythmic motion keeps an individual relaxed and helps eliminate anxiety, fear and depression by maintaining hormonal balance.
Improved Stamina. Regular movement strengthens specific body parts and increases stamina. Cycling also improves the overall body balance and endurance.
More Fluid Joints. Cycling reduces the risk of arthritis caused by worn out cartilage. Cycling is gentler on joints and can actually strengthen them because the cycling motion provides nourishment that builds up cartilage. In this regard, cycling is especially helpful for those with arthritis of the lower limbs who are unable to pursue sports that cause impact to the knees and other joints.
Can Reduce Back Pain. Bicycling provides nourishment that discs in the spine need for development. The large muscles in the back develop and become stronger. Bicycling also help strengthens the small muscles that support individual vertebrae.
Using a stationary cycle is advocated as a suitable exercise for rehabilitation, particularly for lower limb injury, because of its low impact on the joints. In particular, cycling is commonly used within knee rehabilitation programs.
Provides a Dose of Vitamin D. Outdoor cycling is a great way to get vitamin D from the sun. 15 minutes of sunshine a day can help prevent prostate cancer, breast cancer and osteoporosis. Don't forget to put your sunscreen on, though, because too much sun increases the risk of skin cancer.
Other Benefits of Bicycling
- A four mile bicycle trip keeps about 15 pounds of automobile pollutants out of the air we breathe.
- Reduces the wear and tear on roadways and demand for new roads and parking lots.
- Reduces water pollution – bikes don't require or drip brake fluid, anti-freeze, transmission fluid, toxic dust, etc.
- Reduces noise pollution — bikes are quiet, creating a quieter community.
- Saves Fossil Fuels
- Bicycles increase mobility for those who don't qualify to drive a car; have access to motor transport due to location or economics; and those who don't want to drive motor vehicles.
- In congested areas bicycling can be faster than walking, mass transit or motor vehicles.
- Saves money by eliminating some of the expense associated with cars including: gas, insurance, maintenance, parking, etc.
- Allows riders to appreciate the environment around them.
- Bicycling is a great activity for family and friends.
- Bicycling is a great way to meet your neighbors and build community.
- Reduces road kill and saves animals.
- Biking Is Fun.
How to choose a Bike
If you don't already have a bicycle, you'll need to buy or rent one. Many large communities have bike rentals or check out your local sporting goods stores – try before you buy. But, three other factors may help you decide what type of bike you want to purchase:
- Where you're most likely to ride
- Your height
- How much money you want to spend
Road Bikes. are designed for riding on paved streets and going fast. They feature skinny tires, a lightweight frame and bent over handlebars.
Mountain Bikes. have wide tires with knobby treads, a stout frame and are designed to handle rugged trails.
Hybrid Bikes. Is a compromise between road and mountain bikes. They offer the best features of both if most of your riding will be shorter trips on pavement. Hybrids are a good choice for most city riding offering speed, durability and comfort.
Cruisers. or Coasters are bikes that have wide tires, wide seats, upright handlebars and often a single gear. Mechanically simple, they are easy to maintain, but work best with flat terrain.
Whatever bicycle you end up choosing make sure it's the right SIZE for you. A bike too small is uncomfortable and you won't want to ride frequently. A bike that is too large is a safety hazard because it creates problems mounting, dismounting and stopping at traffic lights.
Bike Safety
About 85% of all bicycle crashes requiring medical treatment didn't involve a moving car at all; the bicyclist simply slid, fell, or ran into something. That's why helmets and gloves are important.
In the 15% of accidents that were car/bike crashes, over 90% happened from crossing and turning traffic at driveways, intersections and in bike lanes. With good road awareness those could/should have been avoided.
Here's a great article on how to avoid those situations.
Under the law, bicyclists are supposed to follow the rules for slow-moving vehicles, the same as farm vehicles, construction machines, antique cars and horse-buggies. Slow vehicles travel to the right IF there is safe space. Faster vehicles wait until they can pass safely. Other than that, everyone follows the same rules.
In most states, the ride-to-the-right rule for bicyclists actually says:
"Ride to the right EXCEPT when passing, turning left, or to avoid objects, parked cars, moving vehicles, pedestrians, animals, surface or other hazards; or when in a vehicle lane too narrow for a bicycle and another vehicle to pass safely, side by side, within the lane."
Traffic Signs and Safety for Kids
More traffic signs (Thanks to Chris and Morgan @SafeKidsUSA)
Your neighborhood is a great place to start. You are familiar with the terrain and the hazards (maybe even the pot holes!). Riding the first time in an area in which you are comfortable will make the ride more pleasurable.
But, other possibilities abound. Many communities have paved bike paths in scenic locations, near river fronts or in parks. County, state and national parks are also great places to ride – just make sure you've selected the right bike for the terrain you want to ride.
An Internet search for bike trails or paths, by region, should provide you a huge list of resources from which to choose. Here are other resources:
Trails.com – walking, hiking, biking trails
Pedaling.com – mountain bike trails
Rails to Trails – nationwide trails multi-use converted old railways

Volkswagen Beetle Transmission Problems
:confuse: I have posted several times about the trouble that I have had with my beetle. I am hoping to trade it off this weekend because I can not take another day of wondering if I a going to get hit in this stupid car that I paid dearly for. But to my point. I live in North Georgia and I heard some news this morning. I believe the Beetle is going to be discontinued from VW in the next year or so. I don't know if this is good or bad for us beetle owners. But if I am not mistaken, they are only going to make 3,000 (1500 couple and 1500 convertiable) in the light blue (which is the color I have) when they discontinue them. Let me know if anyone else has heard this news.
nataliemac Posts: 14You're right, they are discontinuing the car. It's all here at USA Today:
USA Today.
Maybe because of all the transmission issues?
blackdog20 Posts: 19Hello Everyone..
I have a 2004 Beetle with 97K on it, auto transmission. The transmission is junk. The dealership is blowing smoke and I spoke to VW CS which is useless. I wrote VW a letter and told them that they not only have a coil problem, but they should do the right thing and fix all the transmissions. I am not spending 7K on a transmission. Luckily it is a third car for us so we are not stranded. I went ahead and changed the transmission fluid even though it has the so called lifetime fluid, ( what BS is that, and not even a dip stick to check level). My mechanic said that there was a lot of brass in there which is from the disks. Have not put any miles on it yet, but do not expect it to have fixed anything. I was a long shot, but for $250, we figured we would give it a try. I will be joining the fight here, count me in against VW. :lemon:
Well everyone I found the time to trade mine in. I found someone that was willing to trade it and opted for the 2010 car of the year Ford Fusion. I hope everyone can continue to fight the fight and get there cars fixed. I just could not continue to drive it and worry about myself and children in this POS. If I can still help with the fight I will. My bank stated that another customer was trying to buy one and I asked then to let the person know what problems they were getting into. Anything I can do to help someone else. My friends beetle is also setting because of her transmission. Good luck to all.
Also everyone. A thought. If the transmission cost more than what the car is worth can your insurance company not do something about it. Is that not the same as if it is totaled out. I know the value of these cars has dropped and mine was worth about what the transmission was worth. :confuse:
amac70 Posts: 18 months ago I bought my daughter a very clean 2001 beetle with 75,000 miles from a local dealer. It now has 80,000 miles and has had several issues. Come to find out all the issues are all very common. First the fuse box on top of the battery burns up. Then the drivers window stops about 20% from top. Now the check engine light is on and it was stuck in first gear. Dealer said it was speed sensor and charged me $500 to fix. Sensor is $50 and takes about 15 minutes to replace. Engine light is off for the moment but I am scared that they only cleared the codes and not actually fixed a dang thing. What if the transmision freezes again while going 70 mph on the hwy ? Somebody Let me know if I should file a complaint.
herrerasgarage Posts: 1on your transmission not shifting out of park i would check the brake sensor because it is the one that releases the shifter when you press the brake pedal.so check that maybe you have a faulty brake sensor or a faulty shifter lock sensor.
patsy5 Posts: 1Just scheduled the estimate on replaceing the transmission in my 2003 Beetle. I have 59,500k miles. I have been reading about the problems everyone else is having with this product. I am planning on telling everyone I know, to never by a product from Volkswagen. The service tech was "shocked" that I was having problems with my transmission and even said it was " a bit early for that". I will see tomorrow what the number is to repair/replace it. I doubt I will...can't afford to throw that kind on money at it. What is the link to the NTSB.. so I can file a complaint. :lemon: :lemon: :lemon: :lemon:
I found the ntsb info in bloggs on this site. good luck
file a complaint asap we all have pretty much on this site. good luck. I have a daughter too and it totally sucks to have problems with a car that should not have any issues.
OK so now I see everyone is having the same problem I am having. I have a 2004 Beetle with a transmission problem the car only has 48,000 miles on it. When car is not warmed up for 15 minutes it will not move in reverse or even in gear. When warmed up it slips like crazy. Can this car need a new tranny already. Don't know what to do? Do i go to Volkswagon or try another repair shop. Any suggestions?
Where do you file a complaint?
I first brought mine to the dealer, since at 87,000 miles thought they should at least see what was going on. They diagnosed it incorrectly, after paying, I then took it to the local aamco...they were terrific plus about $2,000 cheaper. VW North America stated that I should save all receipts....in case there ever was a recall. After two months of no car, I now have the car and it is running great! But that is after about $6,000 later....I would very much like VW to reimburse me for that???!!!! good luck. will never buy another vw...
Ok, my letter to VW USA brought a response of "we'll give you some money toward a new VW". Hhhmm. My car is "just too far out of warranty" for any other assistance. The nice lady was sympathetic to my plight, but I really needed VW to help me. My husband can handle the sympathy part. I guess a down payment is better than nothing, but my car is paid for. Realistically, I know that's probably the best I'm going to do but it still stinks. In the grand scheme of things, how much would it really cost VW to replace my transmission? Maybe some cash, but their return would be a very satisfied, vocal customer. Also, after doing some research on the VW brand, it appears they all have a similar problem. So why would I buy another VW? At this point a motorized scooter is looking pretty good.
If someone were to file a class action suit, it would be YEARS before anything was accomplished. The attorneys would benefit more than the classes would. The safety folks won't force a recall until someone dies.
I included a link to this thread in my letter, perhaps they will monitor it. Not sure what good that does, but I'm grasping at straws here. I haven't heard anything in response to my letter from the local dealer, but they probably figure the response from USA settles it.
I really, really miss customer service. I'm waiting for my formal letter from VW before I decide how to proceed. VW Germany? Maybe give Chevrolet a chance to shame VW? Maybe rent a billboard to show my displeasure with VW?

The beetle convertible has been my biggest nightmare. Do not buy this vehicle! You will waste a lot of time dropping it off to the dealer for repair after repair. And it the same repairs over and over and over. VW will not acknowledge they have an issue with a part, it doesn't matter how many times they will just keep replacing a faulty part with another defective part. Window regulators will become your car's new middle name!
I also have a VW new beetle convertible and have reached a point that I just want to spread the word as to my dissatisfaction so nobody has to go through what I have. My transmission has been replaced, my window regulators 16 times, my convertible top 3 times, the brake lights, the trunk switch, the airbag faulty, need I go on? These issues have been an issue from the beggining (purchased brand new) and have contacted VW of America, they pretty much said "That's nice, how about a $750 voucher to buy a new VW?" Are you kidding me?! They do not stand by their product in the least! My vehicle has spent 115 days off and on at the VW dealer for repairs! And VW could care less! I just sumbitted a claim to BBB and am contacting an attorney. I wasn't able to get to your link/thread you put at the bottom of your post, but I would be happy to share any results I get through my claims.
11jbjp Posts: 1Purchased a used 2002 beetle turbo (automatic trans) for my daughter. had a few issues with the transmission. It was stuck in 3rd gear and I had a check engine light. I read the code 0748 Transmission solenoid pressure valve. If you manually shifted from 1st to 2nd to 3rd it would work normally.
Took it to the dealer here in GA. explained the issue and told them it is not a transmission failure as it will manually shift. They called me the next day and told me the transmission is bad. I asked what they based that on and the service manager told me it was based on the dark color of the oil. I asked if they read the trans code or performed pressure tests or any other diagnostics and he said trust me the trans. is bad, he has seen this issue before. I picked it up and brought it home. Investigated it more, bought a repair manual and decided to replace the wire harness that goes into the trans case and replace one solenoid in the transmission control valve after removing the control valve and testing each of the 7 electrical solenoids on the trans. control valve. Found one with with different OHM value from the others. Put it back together and tested it. It still had the same trouble until I cleared the code, then it worked perfectly. Perhaps since it was a safe mode condition the code had to be cleared before it would function properly. It seems many people get burned with the cost of a new trans. because the dealer will not perform proper diagnostics. 5 hours labor and $280.00 in parts, instead of $5500.00?? I was fortunate to have the background to do this myself. Why do they get all that training if they don't use it??
I finally broke down and took my Beetle to the shop. It had the same problems everyone else's car did: hard shifting with banging, etc.
The mechanic put my car on the computer and said that the transmission wasn't reporting any errors, but that the valve body was broken. The valve body is PART of the transmission, but not the entire transmission. He warned me that if they took the transmission apart and it was broken, they would need to replace it, but he didn't think that would be the case.
Fortunately, my only issue was the valve body. The repair cost me $2100. That sucks! But it's a lot better than having to replace the entire transmission to the tune of nearly $6 grand.
A certified VW mechanic said online that many VW dealers are making people replace their entire transmission when it's just the valve body that's broken. If you take your car in for repair, make sure you ask the service rep whether it's just the valve body that is broken. This could save you $4,000. Shame on those VW dealers who are shystering their customers!
kirstiem Posts: 3This is exactly what happened with my transmission. The valve body was screwed....that cost us (New Zealand dollars) $6500, just to replace that! That was actually more expensive than having the transmission reconditioned which would have cost around $4500...but it is very expensive getting VW parts in NZ.
Finally managed to get an insurance payout as the damage to the valve body was (possibly) caused by an accident which damaged the pan and the filter. The insurance company paid out $3500 - they discounted the cost of the repair because they said that VW Beetle transmissions only last 100,000km before they will die anyway and ours had done close to that at the time.
I have now, reluctantly put my beetle cabriolet on the market, it is running beautifully now, but I am worried that something else will go wrong....has already had a waterpump, thermostat, airbag sensor and the transmission die on us at a total cost of around $11,000. Luckily mostly covered by the mechanical warranty we purchased with the car, but that runs out in May and I don't think I want to own it after that!! While I love driving it, it is the most expensive car to repair that I have ever owned.
Interestingly enough....my Bug is a 4 cyl 6 spd automatic. I had no idea what that meant until today. After reading some of the recent posts, I decided to experiment. I have driven the car off and on today and experienced NO problems. I used the manual shift option (tiptronic part?), to the right of the normal gear shift gears. It's been fun, I've never driven a car with a manual transmission. So, maybe I'm crazy, but it would seem if I needed a new transmission the gears wouldn't shift easily regardless of what I did. Hmmmm. No hesitations, no jerking (expect for downshifting, but that's because I don't know what I'm doing).
In any event, I've ordered a handy dandy VW repair manual, it should be here by the weekend. My husband (he's built several cars) is convinced he can fix the problem.
I'll report back, am crossing my fingers and toes!! I truly love my car. :sick:
Hello fellow paper weight owners,
I bought my wife a 2003 VW New Beetle CONV. MAY of 08. I went to a local dealer here in clarksville, tn. Gary Mathews VW. First thing the car had under 60,000 miles and they didn't give us any kind of warranty what so ever. But this was my wife's dream car so i bought it any ways. I am a jack of all trades I work on everything with a motor. Well first thing was had to buy tires the same month I bought the car. 2 A new battery 3months later 3. the little ashtray thing in the back was broken 4. The dealer tried to charge me for a crash sensor that was recalled to be installed 5. the passenger side window regulator on the top was broken causing the cable to break and bind well the window was stuck. Ordered one on Ebay thought maybe I would get a good one well no same problem i used it though cause i needed her window up well it broke too. Now i just ordered a brand new one from a vw dealers warehouse store which MAN they are WAAAAYYYY cheaper than the dealer or anyone else. VW wanted over 275 for it cost there 108 brand new and warrantied. Well needles to say they did a recall for the same problem the beetle is having on the Jetta. But not the Beettle. Now to 6. The Torreck B transmission switch is bad well that is what the dealer from my hometown in ohio said. The car will sometimes bang in to gear and also the car will get stuck in what ever gear it is in sometimes and the little squares will be over ever gear on the dash which indactes transmission malfunction. They said it is due to the trip tronic switch (toreck B switch) I ordered it for 30 from the same company but the dealer will have to install it cause i dont have any way to get trans oil back in it. 7. The water temp light (Blue) will randomly come on at times not all the time but sometimes for a while and will go back off at times, UGHHHH I traded my near paid off car that had no issues for this heap of junk :mad:
beetleturbos Posts: 2My only question to u. why did u ever buy the car without a warranty. sorry, but u
have no one to blame but yourself. Besides it should of been checked out by a
reputable vw mechanic. Sounds like u got it for low $ and took the chance u could
repair yourself. Lastly, the dealer must give at least a 7 day warranty or u think
warranties are for jerks.
LOL okay so I bought the car for my very eger wife. And reputable VW mechanic yeah right are you F***ing kidding me this is how good they are. I called to have my transmission flushed and new fluid 400 plus tax. Back in my home of record OHIO 275. WOW why dont you do what I should have done and read reviews on the place that raped me. And no I did not get it for the LOW as you would say i paid 14000 for it if that is low tell me where you work. I am in the Army and unfortunitly I do not just throw 14000 around. And a 7 day warranty what state are you from? I did not have any issues until about a week and a half later. We have two vehicles and I have only put 15000 or so miles on it in 2.5 years. O by the way today the check engine light came on saying the coolant system malfunction. Well anyways I posted to talk about my Junk VW like the others here did. Not to talk about others.

About 4 or 5 months ago a person sent out a message about filing a class action suit. I know at one time I sent a note saying I was interested in placing my name on that list, but I have yet to see anything. Has anything started? I have been driving my 2004 vw, with the new transmission, for a couple of months now, and it has been great.....when people stop me and ask I just say "it's cute, but don't ever think of buying a vw"....I want a bumper sticker that says "it may be cute, but ask me about the new transmision"....anyway, good luck to all of you out there....I certainly would like the $4400 check from VW for my repair work!
ivanhoe9 Posts: 4Had the banging into gear problem into the dealership repair over the course of a few years. Sometimes it would go away and then return. They kept putting me off. On one visit after I was told that it was OK I asked to take a test drive with the mechanic. We drove awhile and the dame thing was shifting fine! Then we went around a turn and it slipped and banged so hard that guy smacked his head on the rest. That was it new transmission under warranty I was lucky. Now I have the electrical problems.
:lemon: My advise: get rid of this car! Not to be the bearer of bad news, but trust me, I have had 2 of them. The problems will continue, I also got a new transmission but the problems started a few months later and VW will continue to say there's nothing wrong!
vwnomore1 Posts: 1I have had the same problem with my 2005nb. the dealer told me it needed a new transmission for the sum of $6900.00. Spoke to anyone who would listen at vw of america. they offered $1000.00 off of a new car.lol!!!
anyway I went to a transmission shop and they changed the valve body on the trans for $2000.00. Still sucks to have to pay anything but it sure beats $6900.00. The dealer says they do not repair only replace. they make it seem like the trans is no good at all when it may only be the valve body. probably causing people to spend $4000.00+ to buy a new trans that may not be needed. what a scam!!! My car is running better than when it was new. makes me think the problem was there all along. Defenitely will not buy another vw since they don't have any product integrity. Hope this helps a little.
Thanks for sharing... wow, exactly my experience. Glad you got them to replace the valve body instead of the transmission. $2000 sucks - and you're right - trying to get someone to buy a new transmission when all they need is a valve body is criminal. My car runs MUCH better than it ever did. I agree with you... I wonder if the problem has been there all along. Even my friends have commented about how much better the thing runs. Interesting to hear that we had exactly the same experience with exactly the same car (mine was a 2005 New Beelte, too).
Yeah we did the same thing and I thought the same way you did. My triptonic worked well for a while but after a bout a month we began to have the same issues not going into gear or jerking when we shifted. please let us know what you repair and the steps you took. I have thought about starting with the sensors first then valve body if that doesnt work. we have already dropped the pan and had transmission flushed that didnt do [non-permissible content removed]. but we know that there was no metal in the pan or on the magnet so the trannie is good. any soulution would help there are a lot of people that post problems but not many of us here have solutions. I wish your husband the best of luck.

RESIDENTS and traders have called for turning lanes and parking restrictions to prevent accidents at an eastern suburbs intersection.
The East Torrens Messenger visited the junction of Magill and Glynburn roads this week following complaints of traffic congestion and near misses between cars and pedestrians.
Tranmere resident Mark Walsh, who last year presented Burnside Council with a 150 signature-strong petition calling for slip lanes to be installed, said the State Government urgently needed to allocate funding to it.
Mr Walsh was now lobbying local MP Grace Portolesi to secure funding.
"Something needs to be done," Mr Walsh, 68, said.
"Ideally, we would like to see the intersection expanded and slip lanes introduced (but) we are hoping to secure black spot funding so an investigation can take place."
Mr Walsh said traffic congestion would be reduced if on-street parking near the intersection was restricted.
Fellow Tranmere resident Renato Campana said the junction was unsafe for pedestrians and motorists.
"In the morning it is a grand disaster the traffic is banked up," Mr Campana, 86, said.
"We need an investigation on how to make it safer."
There have been 37 accidents at the intersection since 2010, 12 of which caused minor injuries to 15 people.
Lyndel Pacula , who runs Magill Rd business Out of the Cot, said she and her customers avoided the intersection altogether.
Residents have been campaigning for improvements at the intersection since the early 1990s when plans to widen Magill Rd were drawn up.
In September last year, a red light camera was installed at the intersection after the government ruled out building a left turning lane due to costs.
A Transport Department spokeswoman said the department had already considered a "number of options" to curb accidents at the trouble-prone intersection.
She said more than $9 million was available in the 2013-14 Black Spot Program state-wide.

Updated below with results.
Seven of the 16 invitations for next summer's European Championship have already gone out. Poland and Ukraine are in as hosts, and Germany, Italy, Spain, England and the Netherlands have clinched first place in their qualifying groups.
When the Day Games Are Over
Tuesday's busy international schedule also includes two intriguing friendlies and four World Cup qualifiers from South America:
Ecuador vs. United States, 7 p.m., ESPN2
Brazil at Mexico, 9:30 p.m., ESPN2
World Cup qualifying
Uruguay at Paraguay
Argentina at Venezuela
Colombia at Bolivia
Peru at Chile
Five more automatic spots will be determined Tuesday, the last day of group play. The last four group winners and the best second-place finisher will advance to the main draw. The other eight runner-ups will be paired in playoffs for the tournament's last four spots; those matchups will be drawn Thursday.
Here's a group-by-group look at what will be decided Tuesday:
Germany has won the group and will play a large part in determining who finishes second. Belgium leads Turkey by a point for second, but faces a much tougher road: the Belgians will face the Germans in Dusseldorf (1 p.m., ESPN2), while Turkey is expected to coast past Azerbaijan in Istanbul.
Russia seems certain to to claim the automatic berth, needing only a draw against Andorra to finish first. Ireland can in theory leapfrog the Russians in the unlikely event they lose and the Irish beat Armenia in Dublin. But Ireland would be better served by focusing on the result it can control, especially after learning that Robbie Keane will miss the match with a muscle strain. A win or a draw gets the job done; if they lose, Armenia gets the playoff spot.

Water Damage Auburn CA, Flood Damage Repair and Sewage Cleanup

"They responded quickly and professionally. They went out of their way to make sure we were inconvenienced as little as possible." — Debbie S. – Auburn, CA – Flooded Home Cleanup
Certified Property and Rescue – Commercial & Residential Water Damage Specialists
In Auburn CA water damage can be a problem throughout the year. At Certified Property and Rescue, we take water damage restoration seriously each and every day. Call 855-277-8787 for immediate water damage restoration services in Auburn CA and all surrounding areas. We offer 24-hour emergency response, because whether you have suffered water damage in your home, or your business, time is your worst enemy.
When you've had flood damage, you've got to take immediate action. Allowing a wet carpet, wall, areas under and behind cabinetry/vanity, flooring or furniture to remain wet is only an invitation for future problems, mold colonization and added expenses that will most-likely not be covered by insurance.
Allowing a structure to soak will only cause further damage, a tougher job for water damage contractors, and a much more costly job for your insurance company. If a building is wet, a professional should be called immediately for water removal or extraction of water as soon as possible.
When professional water restoration begins, all areas affected by the flood damage must also be professionally dried as soon as possible; a job that a shop vac and household fans will not be able to handle.

Therefore, multiple downloads (multiple TCP connections) can provide a boost even when going to the same server.
