We've just taken delivery of the limited edition blue versions of VOX's AC15 and AC30 valve combos, complete with 1963 blue vinyl and classic Tygon fret cloth. As used on the 1963 AC30, the limited blue finish incorporates vintage styling with the modern two-channel Custom Series AC design.
These legendary amps have been the cornerstone of VOX's history since their introduction in the late 1950s. The AC30 combo played a pivotal role in shaping the sound of the 1960s British Invasion, thanks to its use by bands such as The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Kinks and The Yardbirds. Since then, the VOX AC30 has been used heavily by blues guitarists, such as Rory Gallagher and Queen's Brian May, thanks to its unbeatable combination of beautiful clean tones and versatile overdrive.
More recently, the AC30 can be heard on every U2 album, while its use by The Cure's Robert Smith, Paul Weller, Foo Fighters' Dave Grohl and Kings of Leon's Caleb Followill among others proves that the AC30 is ideal for a vast range of musical styles.
The special blue versions of the VOX AC15C1 and AC30C2 are limited to 650 of each worldwide, while a 4-watt AC4C1 in blue has also been added to the VOX catelogue.
With their truly vintage '60s looks, these combos are as nice to look at as they are to play! Get hold of one while you can! They're available to buy in store, online or over the phone on 0845 0777 247.
Now share it!

As far as making a repair, I discovered that I needed the CD in order to accomplish the task. I moved recently and for the life of me I can't find it. I do have another version of Office which I will install instead. That should solve the original problem.

TORONTO — First Bob Rae -- now Kathleen Wynne.
They're the only two premiers I've covered who've turned me down for a personal interview.
Rae led an embattled NDP government heading in to the 1995 election. I never did get the interview with him.
Wynne not only turned me down for my "tea with Christina," series with the party leaders.
She wouldn't even come in for an editorial board -- as the other two leaders did.
So much for her "consulting." Clearly she doesn't want to talk with people who might want to hold her to account.
She was only too happy to sit down for tea during the Liberal leadership campaign, when she needed some profile.
It leaves me no choice. In the absence of a one-on-one interview, I'll have to imagine how it might have gone.

I love leather and one of the biggest fashion trends right now are leather-trimmed apparel. Since this is probably the only way that I will get away with wearing leather into the office (shoes and jacket not included, of course) I didn't hesitate to add this pencil skirt to my collection. I thought this was going to land into my work only section, but it is proving to be a very versatile piece. I've already worn it into the office with my emerald green top and and I wore it to a function over the weekend with my snake print sleeveless blouse. Here I paired it with a crushed silk, long sleeve blouse from last season.
Thanks for stopping by my blog. I love hearing from you so please feel free to share your comments in the comment section below.

Has this car ever surfaced?
Is Lynn Yakel still living?
I believe the answers are no, and yes. In the earlier thread on this subject, somebody said that he lives in the upper midwest (Michigan?) and does resto work on 300SLs and stuff.
Take a look on this previous post.

text: New, 9HP Cyclone Rake XL Lawn Vacuum Announced by Woodland Power Products. All Leaf and Lawn Vacuum Models Upgraded to Briggs & Stratton Vanguard engines. Woodland Power Products of West Haven, CT introduces its new 9 HP Cyclone Rake XL model and upgrades all its leaf and lawn vacuums to Briggs & Stratton Vanguard engines. The new 9HP Cyclone Rake XL lawn vacuum has a completely new vacuum system that produces 70% more vacuum power than any product the company has offered previously. The product is aimed at customers who have large homes with heavy leaf cover in the fall, and large lawns or fields to mow in summer. It is also marketed as the preferred choice for professional use, such as contractors, schools, parks, churches, condos and institutions. According to James Whitney, Ph.D., President of Woodland Power Products, We didnt just install a larger engine on an existing machine. We designed an entirely new lawn vacuum system, including impeller, turbine housing and associated components. Whitney adds, Extensive tests in our air flow laboratory show the XL produces 70% more vacuum power than our previous products, and substantially exceeds any other unit weve tested. As of September 1, 2007 the company has also upgraded the engines used in all its leaf and lawn vacuum products to Briggs & Strattons top of the line Vanguard series. These replace the former Intek series from Briggs & Stratton. Our product philosophy is to build up to a standard, not down to a price, said Whitney. These are true commercial power engines, built with heft and quality that you just dont find in lower grades. The Cyclone Rake leaf and lawn vacuum hitches to almost any riding mower and turns it into a powerful year-round outdoor cleanup machine. The Cyclone Rake clears leaves, acorns, pinecones, twigs, pine needles, pine straw and other outdoor debris. It multiplies the mowers lifting power by ten times or more and greatly increases hauling capacity. It lifts material like leaves and sticks from the ground and reduces debris volume significantly as it passes through the Cyclone Rakes patented vacuum-mulcher unit. Woodland Power Products offers a free video and information kit on the Cyclone Rake. Request a copy by calling toll-free (800) 896-4588. Or visit the companys web site at www.CycloneRake.com.

text: I'll keep this very simple. If you want casually accessible, idiot proof, amazing spin potential try VS Touch Black Mains* and MSV Co-Focus 17 crosses. See my signature for my tensions, based on your racquet and preferences adjust as needed. Do string mains 3-4 pounds higher than crosses. *I disliked BT7-based Black VS's stiffness compared to VS Classic. But since classic is being discontinued I decided to try it again with an open mind. Another forum member advised that where I saw stiff others might see crisp. He was correct. With the MSV Co Focus 17 crosses I have very controllable, precise power with casually accessile spin. By this I mean even a moderate angle of attack and medium head speed generates effectice top spin, even with the PSLGT's dense pattern. With the PB10 Mid's 16 mains I achieved excellent spin without even trying hard.

Before the London Knights and Windsor Spitfires began beating on each other, non-partisan hockey fans were hoping the series wouldn't disappoint.
The OHL Western Conference final was a much-hyped affair ever since it became obvious that, barring something cataclysmic, the Spitfires and Knights would meet in the final.
There was nothing cataclysmic.
Now the series could end as soon as tonight. The Spitfires have somehow managed to take a 3-1 lead, or, perhaps more appropriately, the Knights have somehow managed to fall behind 3-1 in the series.
London is going to have to win in Windsor tonight to bring it back home for a Game 6.
Mind you, it's hardly a stretch to believe they could win. They could well have won every game in this series so far.
But no one except the Knights and their fans will remember that.
In the long run, all most people will remember is who won and who lost.
Has the series lived up to expectations?
If you're looking for pure drama, emotional highs and lows and the unexpected, then this series has surpassed expectations.
If you're looking at it in a technically pure hockey sense, there have been enough mistakes and bonehead plays for three playoff series.
Great teams find some way to win and the Spitfires have done that. Goaltender Andrew Engelage will never be mistaken for Ken Dryden, but he's managed to hang in long enough to make key saves when required.
Even though some of Windsor's big guns haven't shown up, they've done enough to grind out win after win.
The playoffs have been a rough patch for the Spitfires, but they're scrambling through it and are playing better for longer periods of time.
The Knights, even though they may deserve a better fate, have chosen key times in the game to break down in one position or another.
In Game 4, the Spitfires had complete control for 40 minutes, leading by three goals. Then all hell broke lose and the Knights took them to overtime. In what's been a recurring nightmare for the Knights, a bad goal sunk them, this time 5-4. All four games have gone into overtime.
With all that's happened, there must be a tendency to believe that the fuel in the resiliency tank may be drying up. The Knights have come back from two devastating losses and played with motivation.
But how often can they do it?
Make no mistake about tonight. It could well wind up 6-1 and be over in a hurry.
But considering both the Knights and Spitfires have proven in this series -- that no lead is safe regardless of who owns it -- that probably won't happen.
For one thing, the goaltending isn't good enough to play shutdown hockey. And there are too many players on both teams who refuse to pack up their sweaters, no matter how impossible the task seems.
And no matter how this series winds up, it has been a tremendous showcase for at least three players. It's also no coincidence that they happen to be front and centre whenever a comeback needs to be sparked.
Everyone knows John Carlson and Michael Del Zotto are big-time players. Both are first-round NHL picks and in June Nazem Kadri will be in the same boat.
The three of them have put together an outstanding series against the Spitfires.
Carlson and Del Zotto are eating up an incredible amount of ice time. You can put up a lot of ice time if you play a passive game, but there is nothing passive about the way the three of them play.
Knights' fans have seen Carlson all year and know what he can do.
What you get with Del Zotto that isn't as advertised as his offensive skills is his ability to play a physical game.
The Knights need all three to be as good as they've been.
If that happens, there will be no blow out and a good chance of a game Friday night.

MINGORA, Pakistan, Feb. 20 (UPI Next) --
Despite restoration of peace in northwestern Pakistan's Swat Valley following a 2009 military operation against the Taliban, anti-Taliban militias established to prevent the insurgents's return are being targeted by the militants, police records show. There is disagreement, however, on whether the ongoing attacks are a sign of terrorism.
Swat district police data show 21 members of the so-called peace committees, village elders armed with weapons and protected by local police, have been shot dead since 2010, including nine last year alone. In the same wave of targeted attacks, Taliban assailants attempted to kill Malala Yousafzai, the well-known teenage education activist, in 2012.
From 2007 to 2009, militants in Swat challenged the government's authority, forbidding girls' education, destroying 401 schools and banning polio vaccinations.
Peace was restored by the 2009 military offensive and the anti-Taliban village defense committees, or militias, were formed to keep the peace across the valley.
"There are total of 65 union councils [the smallest form of local government] in Swat and each one has one village defense committee comprised of 30 to 60 members," Sultan e Rom, chairman of the village defense committee in Union Council Charbagh, told UPI Next.
The militia members keep an eye on insurgents and help security and law enforcement forces in their areas.
"The village defense committees were formed soon after the restoration of peace in Swat to prevent terrorists entering their village. They are allowed to use guns and fight with the militants if they try to enter their area. They also hold discussions with the law enforcement agencies about peace in the area," Iqbal Hussain, a village defense committee member, told UPI Next.
The village militia members also inform the law enforcement agencies of any suspicious person or elements in their area.
"They immediately inform the law enforcement agencies if they sense any suspicious activity in their area or see any suspicious person. In this way they are helping security forces to keep peace intact," Hussain said.
However, since the restoration of peace, the local militia members have been targeted by the Taliban. District police office records show nine of them were killed last year in attacks.
No arrests had been made in the cases, and police had only lodged reports against unidentified individuals and vowed to nab the culprits soon.
Militia volunteers say the government has completely failed to provide them security, while officials say some of the acts are not terrorism.
"We are helping security forces as true citizens fighting for peace and prosperity of our country. However, law enforcement agencies and the government have failed to provide us security. Many of our friends have been killed as a result," said Zahid Khan, president of the All Swat Hotel Association, who is also a peace committee member.
In August 2012, Khan was shot in the face in a targeted attack in Swat. He still bears the half-inch scar of a gunshot wound on the right side of his face.
Idrees Khan, a peace committee and militia leader who is president of Nepkikhel, a Swat union council, roundly condemned the continuing targeted killings.
"All the village defense committee members in Swat are highly grieved by the murders. Law enforcement agencies and the district government must take note that our members are being killed continuously and nobody has been arrested till now," he told UPI Next.
A government official in Swat valley says that in many cases, personal animosity is behind the killings and they should not be considered terrorist acts, a contention peace committee members dispute.
"Providing security to the village defense committee members is our duty and all of them have been provided with proper security. However, sometimes they are being targeted by their personal enemies, which is often wrongly taken by others," Farukh Ateeq, Swat's assistant police commissioner, told UPI Next.
Peace committee members reject the notion that personal feuds are behind the targeted slayings.
"The militants try, once again, to weaken the hard-earned peace, so they target our colleagues. We have no personal animosity or grudges with anyone in Swat," Iqbal Zada, a peace committee member, told UPI Next.
Mohibullah Khan, an elected representative of the ruling Tehreek-e-Insaf party of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's provincial assembly, said the government is serious about providing security to its citizens, and that no laxity is tolerated from law enforcement agencies in this regard.
"No doubt, peace committee members are doing a great job in assisting law enforcement agencies fight the terrorists. The governments will definitely provide their security," he told UPI Next.

On a bright, breezy day at the gazebo, friends and family of Annmarie Rita bid farewell to the enigmatic homeless woman who'd become a familiar, colorful fixture in her adopted hometown.
Rita was struck by a car and killed as she was apparently trying to cross Cranberry Highway Wednesday, May 22, around 8:30 p.m.
It would have been Rita's birthday Sunday, and those gathered sang "Happy Birthday" before releasing dozens of balloons that quickly disappeared in the strong wind.
On a bright, breezy day at the gazebo, friends and family of Annmarie Rita bid farewell to the enigmatic homeless woman who'd become a familiar, colorful fixture in her adopted hometown.
Rita was struck by a car and killed as she was apparently trying to cross Cranberry Highway Wednesday, May 22, around 8:30 p.m.
It would have been Rita's birthday Sunday, and those gathered sang "Happy Birthday" before releasing dozens of balloons that quickly disappeared in the strong wind.
The balloons were marked with her daughter Jessica Bruno's name and phone number and a message to let Bruno know where the balloons eventually land.
Jessica had traced her mom through a Google search in 2007 after the birth of her first daughter and located her through a New Bedford Times story. Rita had been homeless for about five years at that point, and had drifted away from family.
Jessica met with her mom twice in two weeks, but Rita could not be persuaded to change the way she lived.
Jessica left her a photo of her granddaughter with her cell phone number on the back. But Rita never called.
Lynne Burroughs, who organized Sunday's ceremony, said during one of her chats with Rita she produced the picture.
"I really think she was approaching making that call. I really do," Burroughs said.
Jessica and her husband Paul, and their now two daughters, Aubrey, and 1 ½-year-old Peyton, traveled from their Woburn home to attend the ceremony Sunday, along with Rita's brother, Edmund, and cousin, Johanna Szabo-Blenkhorn. A funeral Mass for Rita was celebrated Saturday at St. Anthony's Church in Woburn.
Edmund said Sunday, "I can't believe all these people came out here."
Scores of people who had felt a connection with Rita turned out for the local remembrance.
Nancy Buccella of Onset, lived near the family in Rita's actual hometown of Waltham before moving here in the early '70s.
She recalled Rita hunkering down in the bandshell to avoid strong winds and inclement weather. Later Rita would often camp down near Dick's Pond in East Wareham.
She often bought Rita coffee at the former Dunkin Donuts on Onset Avenue, where a friendly manager would set up Rita with breakfast in the morning, and food that went unsold and would otherwise have been thrown out at night.
But Rita, according to stories traded Sunday, was resourceful, and often turned down invitations to sleep in area church shelters or eat at soup kitchens. She was adept at creating her own artworks, including wreathes, and selling them. Sometimes, though, she gave them away.
Buccella said she'd heard from family that Rita simply did not want to be institutionalized. Nor would she stay on medication.
"She wanted to live free. And she did," Buccella said.
Jim Clemmey, a warden at St. Gabriel's Church in Marion, said even if Rita assented to sleep over at the church shelter she was quick to pick up and move on if the mood struck her. She'd get up in the middle of the night and walk out.
Burroughs said in her first meeting with Rita on a cold, late fall night where Rita had set up an outdoor campsite she tried to offer Rita a warm bathrobe. Rita turned her down. It had roses on it, Rita said.
That wasn't in keeping with her street ensemble, which included her immense store of portable belongings, including her tent. "She carried a heavy load," Burroughs said.
She had "her own way of doing things," including laundering her clothes with a combination of seaweed and clovers. "I think she'd laugh at us for spending $15" on laundry detergent, Burroughs said.
Andrea Smith, who wrote local articles about Rita, said she had a "reverence" for the things around her – a wilted flower, twine – and would fashion them into her artwork.
Pastor Bob Cordeiro and wife, Lisa, of the River of Life Ministries, said Rita would come to the church's soup kitchen at times, but to talk. She didn't want to eat.
Chelle Montrond said Rita "touched a lot of us." Montrond said she thinks of life as somewhat like a puzzle with each person providing a different part.
Rita "was another part of the puzzle."
Rita's artwork also included "dream catchers," that could be made into jewelry, cousin Johanna Szabo-Blenkhorn said. She proudly displayed the first dream catcher Rita had made during the remembrance Sunday.
The dream catcher is Native American in origin, and includes a decorated hoop and net.
Buccella said, "It's to keep all bad dreams out."

Almond Industry Recognized for Leadership on Nitrogen Management
The Almond Board?s Bob Curtis was recently invited by the California State Board of Food and Agriculture to give a presentation on nitrogen management in almonds. The board is the policy advisory group to the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA).
Following Curtis? talk, several high-ranking state ag officials, including Karen Ross, secretary of the CDFA, and Board President Craig McNamara, recognized the almond industry for its proactive stance in managing nitrogen by funding production research and by outreach related to nitrogen use efficiency and environmental stewardship.
?The Almond Board is being held up as a role model in terms of the research growers have funded on nitrogen management and sustainability efforts in this area,? Curtis said. ?As a result of those efforts over the last 20 years, our nitrogen use efficiency places California Almonds among the most efficient of U.S. ag crops, and it was validating for almond growers to be recognized for those efforts by regulators and policy makers.?

In Japan and around the world, Apple's iWatch trademark application hints at new product line
After months of speculation, a trademark application from Apple in Japan for the "iWatch'' hints at the tech giant's foray into wearable computing. But does it actually mean anything?
Ever since the introduction of the iPad, pundits and the public alike have looked to Apple for "one more thing,'' a new product that, like the iPhone and iPad, reinvents a product category. The main targets of speculation over the past few years have been the TV and the watch, and it looks like the latter category is coming a little closer to fruition.
The Associated Press reported that Apple has applied for the iWatch trademark in Japan, almost a month after MacRumor forum members spotted news of an iWatch trademark application in Russia and noted an even earlier trademark application — apparently filed in December — in Jamaica.
This news, coupled with the occasional leaked patent application, has reinvigorated Apple watchers even as the company's chief executive, Tim Cook, said the company was doubling down on secrecy.
But what does it all mean? It's hard to tell: Apple often files for a number of patents and trademarks, some of which are put into production relatively quickly, many of which never see the light of day.
Om Malik, a noted technology writer and founder of GigaOm, even speculated that the rumors might be driven by a good, old-fashioned corporate COINTELPRO:
"We have been privately musing that Apple's iWatch might just be a head fake,'' he wrote. "A way to throw off the rivals (and even insiders at the company) and send them on a wild goose chase.'' Apple's actual plans would likely be far more ambitious than building Watch 2.0.
What theories do you have about what Apple is up to? Let me know at email@example.com, or share onTwitter and Facebook.

As humans we find a special connectedness around stories, especially ones that we can imagine ourselves being a part of. I learned that sometimes telling a really great story can go a long way in overcoming challenges. The story is what people remember, it is what inspires.
Similarly, the thing that grips me the most about riding a bike is the beauty of the story, the beauty of the ride.
We were all taught lessons growing up through fairy tales and campfire stories. Pinocchio taught us that lying brings consequences, the ugly duckling taught us never to judge a book by its cover, and the tortoise and the hare taught us that slow and steady wins the race – unless of course, you are actually in a bike race, sprinting for the finish.
We are usually at our most powerful when we have a captive audience and a really good story to tell, when we can leverage our influence, when we can infect a story with a positive message, even in the most subtle ways.
Many of us believe in the power of the pedal. We believe that bicycles can actually change lives. As a matter of fact, we don't just believe it. We know it. It is something that we have experienced first hand and often second hand.
We recognize the benefits to our communities, how bicycling makes for healthier, happier, smarter people. We are more connected and aware of our neighborhoods, because we ride our bikes in them. We shop closer to home and support local business because it is an easy bike ride. We know that bicycles reduce traffic congestion and slow movement making for safer streets with reduced pollution.
For many it is an economic issue. Bicycles open doors, providing access to income, education, and healthcare. As US Transportation Secretary Foxx said at the National Bike Summit in March, it "is an issue of equality" ensuring that those who only have a bicycle to get to work can use it.
For some of us, it's simply the possibility and lightness of heart and mind that we all feel when we take those first few pedal strokes, finding our way to another part town, another state, or even another world.
Whatever the case may be, we all have a story to tell. We are in a better place because we ride bikes. By sharing these stories, we have the opportunity to affect change.
Here are a few of my favorite stories about the power of the pedal in changing lives all around the world.
Shannon Galpin – Afghan Cycles
You may have heard of Afghan Cycles. Shannon Galpin is a strong advocate for women's rights. Since Afghanistan has been identified as the worst place on earth to be a woman, she decided to start her work there. In Afghanistan they have what is called a 3rd gender. This is when a foreign woman is extended the rights they have in their own country. They have almost the same rights as Afghan men. Because Shannon is from the United States, when she is in Afghanistan, she is governed by the rules of our culture and so she is able to have a great impact.
One of the first things she did? Shannon rode her bike across the Panjir Valley in Afghanistan, in a country where women are not allow to ride bikes. By doing this, she was able to start conversations, to tell stories, to begin breaking down the barriers for women to ride bikes. Now, four years later, they have just formed the first Afghan Women's Cycling Team. These women risk their lives every time they ride a bike. But they do it for the freedom, the independence, and for the opportunity. They aren't just opening doors for themselves but for women all across Afghanistan.
Girls Given Bikes In India
In Bihar, India, where in 2007 the literacy rate for girls was just 53%, some 20 points lower than that of boys, girls were give a bicycle in an effort to boost poor secondary school attendance. In just 4 years, the number of girls attending school tripled. The program was so successful that it was soon adopted in neighboring states. And in 2012 India began working to adopt the program on a national level. For these girls, a bicycle has made it possible for them to travel an average of 5 miles to school without creating a burden for their families. As a matter of fact, the bicycle is an asset to the family, often used for other errands after school hours.
Team Rwanda
You may be familiar with Team Rwanda, if you haven't seen it, I highly recommend the movie Rising From the Ashes. It's one of the most moving stories I've ever seen on the big screen. The movie chronicles the rise of Team Rwanda from the 2006 grass roots bike race, where many locals were riding on wooden bikes, to the point where Adrien Niyonshuti attended the 2012 Olympics representing Rwanda in the cross country mountain bike race.
Adrien himself said that their hope is to change the story of Rwanda – from that of a horrible genocide that wiped out ten percent of the population – to one of a proud, unified community around their accomplishments in cycling.
And now Team Africa Rising is focusing on the women in Rwanda, Ethiopia, and Eritrea with the goal of sending a female cyclist to the 2016 Olympics. They are focused on junior girls with the intention of filling their lungs, engaging their spirits, and opening their minds to opportunity, keeping them in school, and avoiding early teen marriage and pregnancy.
Kristen Gavin – Gearing Up
There is also the story of Kristen Gavin. While working on her master's degree, she started a fitness program for residents at Interim House, a residential and outpatient drug and rehab facility for women in Philadelphia. Kristen who is an elite bike racer herself, noticed the amazing impact that riding bicycles had on the women in the program, it was like nothing else. Now Gearing Up, approaching 5 years of operation, provides women in transition from abuse, addiction, and incarceration with the skills, equipment, and guidance to ride bicycles for exercise, transportation, and personal growth.
The results are showing in these women with much higher levels of self-efficacy and lower levels of depression. As Gwen said, one of the Gearing Up Graduates "Once I started riding a bike, I became a different person. I see so many positive changes in myself."
You'll notice that a lot of my stories are about women. Which brings me to my last story. One that I'm fairly good at telling because I helped write it.
I grew up in the hills of Kentucky where pedaling a bicycle meant riding around on anything other than paved roads and cement sidewalks. My first bike was red and my second bike was pink. I remember that it had hand brakes and ape hangers, something that you don't forget after the first time you grab the front brake and go hurtling through the bars. But like many kids, as I grew up, I left my bike behind.
Several years later, when I went out for my first mountain bike ride, some say I never really came back. Mountain biking became my weekly escape as I worked my way through school. After college I floated around for awhile, sometimes falling victim to my rebellious nature. I had gotten away from riding, I wasn't focused, I was unhappy, and directionless.
One day, I decided to make some changes. I started focusing on my health and soon headed back to my local bike shop. One thing led to another and the next thing I knew, I was not only riding bikes regularly, but I was actually running that bike shop.
It was a simple progression. The more I rode, the better I was able to keep my creative mind focused. The more I rode, the more I connected with my community. The more I rode, the more I was empowered to think, to act, to lead.
As shown by these stories, I am one of many. One of the first female American bike racers, Elsa Von Blumen stated "Success in life depends as much on upon a vigorous and healthy body as upon a clear and active mind."
At that time in Kentucky, working at the bike shop, we were challenged by a the lack of organization on the local advocacy level. So, I grabbed my friend Dan Korman, we picked a name, built a website, gained community support and invited others to celebrate National Bike Month. In two short years, Queen City Bike became Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky's non-profit bicycle advocacy organization.
When I moved to Boulder, Colorado I didn't know anyone and wanted more women to ride with. So I started a website called Girl Bike Love which is now becoming The Hub and Soul of Women's Cycling, a national online publication for women on bikes.
Riding a bicycle changed my life and I've always enjoyed sharing that with others. I have watched as more and more women are choosing to ride bikes every day. I feel honored to be a part of this movement.
I noticed along the way – watching women progress from beginners to daily riders – that strong communities are built around strong women. That women are natural communicators and are more socially, environmentally and locally aware.
As mothers, teachers and caregivers, women have the greatest influence on future generations. More women riding bikes means more people riding bikes.
But a few years ago, it seemed the overwhelming voice for women's cycling was negative. The discussion was focused around a lack of support, lack of women's bikes and gear, and around the notion that "women don't ride bikes because it isn't safe." I could see this becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy all around me, segmenting this already delicate cycling community.
So the next step was to tell a positive story, to celebrate. Fortunately, I found a couple of like minded women via twitter, Tanya Quick and Jenn Cash of Language Dept., and together, we created CycloFemme. In 2012, CycloFemme was created as a Global Women's Cycling Day to Honor the Past, Celebrate the Present, Empower the Future of Women in Cycling. It started with a simple invitation to Come Ride With Us.
As we move closer to our third annual celebration on May 11th we have seen our tribe grow to include rides in over 30 countries and all throughout the US. We have had rides in Rwanda, Ethiopia, El Salvador, Afghanistan, France, Germany, Spain, Thailand, Japan, Turkey, India, Venezuela, all over Australia and the UK. Although CycloFemme is one day, it represents a larger movement to engage and inspire more female cyclists. Riders are united worldwide regardless of gender, age, race, or bicycle preference to come together in celebration.
And Women are united year round by the notion that when ever we ride. WE RIDE TOGETHER.
Because of CycloFemme I have so many more stories to tell. Like the time that a friend of mine, Brian Dierks, went to work with Doctors Without Borders in South Sudan. He was determined to put on a CycloFemme ride, but when he got there they only had one bike in the camp, and none of the local women knew how to ride.
Within two weeks he managed two more bikes. With those two bikes, he rallied the nurses in the camp and they started giving lessons on Sundays. By the time CycloFemme came around two women had learned to ride. While this may have been the smallest CycloFemme ride in the world, the expression of joy on their faces is absolutely priceless. These women were given the gift of a invaluable skill in a country where riding a bike can literally mean the difference between feeding your family or not.
And there was the time that I reached out to the filmmaker of Rising From The Ashes, the movie about Team Rwanda. I was hoping to learn more about the challenges for women riding bikes in Africa. My email was forwarded to Kimberly Coats, one of the managers of the team, and her immediate response was "OMG. I was wearing my CycloFemme shirt when I read your email".
That was the beginning of a beautiful relationship. We encourage and inspire one another on a regular basis. Here's a bit more on Kimberly.
There's also the story of Jerusa, in Afghanistan, working on an military base. She was determined to celebrate CycloFemme. She rallied a few to join her. But the best part was that later that day she was joined by her sister-in-law riding her bike in New Jersey.
Let's not forget about the emails. I have been contacted by women all over the world who have been inspired by CycloFemme to do more in their communities, working for safer streets and more people riding bikes. These emails have come from Nepal, Aruba, India, China, Mexico and Ghana all asking for advice, support, suggestions.
Most of the time all I can offer are some kind words of support, the promise that we are all in this together, and an inspirational story from another part of the world. But surprisingly, that is often just what they need to keep the momentum going.
So, I'm encouraging you to do the same, to tell a great story, to your friends, your family, in your community, through your social media and online. To spend less time talking about the risk and the challenges and more time talking about the reward, defining cycling with positivity and possibility. Connecting riders in your community, in your state, all around the world.
Last year we created this pledge, it has been signed by riders on 6 continents – we are still working on Antarctica – I hope you'll join us in signing it too.
I Sarai, swear to invest my energy, strength and passion to inspire one more woman to ride a bike.
I believe in the power of the pedal for positive social change, for building a healthier, happier, smarter world.
I pledge to be an ambassador of the bicycle, to Honor the Past, Celebrate the Present, Empower the Future of Women in Cycling.
I promise to start the revolution, to live the change I want to see, to rally another to ride with me.
I pledge because 1 + 1 = A Revolution.
By Sarai Snyder – Boulder, Colorado

You've probably seen Moo Cards which are mini, narrow business-type cards printed from your uploaded Flickr photos. Well, I've just stumbled across handmade Moo cards that I thought you'd also love. They are just like ATC's basically, but a different size. The size is approximately 1.1" x 2.8". There is even a blog dedicated to them, "Make a Moo or Two," who hosts challenges. Here are a couple of their examples.
I love this sweet little one by Sanny, pictured below left. Look at the pretty sequins strung along the bottom, the beads for 'wings' and the tiny little banner at the top.
Susan made these pretty Moos, below centre, with old photos and colourful flowers to brighten them up.
Aashild made the card shown below right. Love how it's been set on such a pretty and whimsical background.
Anita made this adorable spring bird and eggs moo card. Love the theme and colours in this one. See it below left.
Sue made the moo card shown below centre. Look at the stitching detail and the velvet ribbon at the bottom.
You can see more beautiful handmade Moo Cards here. Also, there is a Moo Card pool here on Flickr. And if you still haven't had your fill of these cute little cards, here is a cool little tin to hold your cards. You can purchase them in their Etsy shop. Great for altering too!

Profile: Okeson and Schram square off to represent new district
Two sitting county commissioners will face off in the Nov. 6 general election -- a showdown that came about because redistricting put them both in the same new district.
The new District 3 encompasses the townships of Lakeview, Burlington, Erie and Holmesville.
Gerry Schram has been on the board for four years and John Okeson has been a commissioner for two years.
Schram, 66, is retired from car sales at Norseman Motors, where he worked for over 34 years.
Okeson, 64, worked at the Becker County Highway Department for more than 40 years, retiring as maintenance supervisor. He now has his own consultant business.
The two were asked to name the county board's biggest accomplishment while they were in office.
"I'm very pleased we were able to purchase the minimum security jail," Schram said. "I was on the purchasing committee."
The minimum-security jail houses people convicted of lesser offenses like DWI, and state prisoners, which earns revenue for Becker County, he said.
It costs less to man that than it does the (maximum security) Lake Avenue jail," Schram said. "That was just an absolute win, win, win."
Okeson pointed to the board's efforts to keep tax hikes down.
"Supporting and promoting a needs-based budget," he said. "Last year we held the levy to a zero percent increase."
The county budget is vulnerable to cuts in state aid, he said. "A lot depends on what the state does to us -- eventually we may have to look strongly at what services we could possibly do without, which we don't want to do, but it may come to that."
The Human Services budget probably has the most flexibility as far as cutting programs, he said.
"It's not county money, it's taxpayer money, and we have to spend it as wisely as we can," Okeson said.
The two were asked what their priorities would be if they were re-elected.
Schram said his first priority is the fight against aquatic invasive species. He and other commissioners have been visiting with commissioners from other counties about AIS, "to see what they've done and to see what works," he said.
The Association of Minnesota Counties will include a session on aquatic invasives at its state convention -- with DNR participation, Schram said.
"With numbers, we'll have some strength to combat that growing problem," he said.
Okeson said he and Commissioner Barry Nelson had to fight to get $50,000 in AIS money into next year's budget.
"Otherwise (the county board) would have kicked the can down the road again," he said.
Okeson said county spending is his top priority.
"The needs and the spending," he said. "It's the taxpayers' money and we have to be good stewards of that -- again, trying to find anything we can cut back on and save some dollars."
Schram also makes budgeting a priority.
"Last year we were able to hold the tax levy (increase) at zero," he said "This year it's tentatively at 3.1 percent -- so I feel we as a county board have been trying to spend taxpayer money wisely."
Another Okeson priority will be to address the county's building needs. In the next 5 to 8 years, the county will need to "look seriously at that," he said. It could mean cooperating with Detroit Lakes on a city-county public works facility, since the existing ones both need upgrades.
A new transfer station will need to be built, and the funds will have to be found somewhere, since the hoped-for state bonding money did not materialize.
Building upgrades were also on Schram's to-do list:
"It goes without saying that we need to re-do our transfer station and replace our highway department building, which is an aging, former MnDOT building," Schram said.
"We've been able to work with Otter Tail, Clay, Wilkin, Wadena and Todd counties on different projects -- I don't know why we couldn't work with the city (on a new public works building)."
Roads are a priority for Okeson.
"We need to be more proactive on our roads," he said. "We need to preserve what we have -- we can't let them deteriorate to the point we have to rebuild -- that's way too costly."
The budget has not increased for sealcoating, even though costs of fuel and bituminous material have gone up. That means the county is accomplishing less than it used to for the same dollar.
"We used to do 60-80 miles (of highway) per year -- now we do 30 to 40 miles," he said.
Both men pointed out that last year, the county budgeted conservatively in case of state aid cuts. When the money came through after all, it was used to resurface the west end of County Road 26 (which was slated for a more-expensive re-build in a few years) and to do extra sealcoating on the eastern end of the county.
That same budget strategy is being employed this year -- with the money to go towards roads if the state comes through with it.
Okeson, who sits on the County Housing and Economic Development Board, would also like to see a stronger role for economic development.
EDA Coordinator Guy Fischer, for example, is spearheading the EDA Board's effort to change state law to more closely match neighboring states on gross vehicle weight.
Minnesota has an 80,000 pound limit, while Wisconsin and Iowa both have limits in the mid to upper 90,000 pound range. And the Dakotas have limits of 105,000 to 110,000 pounds gross weight.
The change would not affect limits on gross axle weight, but would essentially allow greater use of heavy trailers. That means the change won't damage highways, Okeson said.
The change would allow a manufacturer of say, landscaping blocks, to locate in Becker County, taking advantage of the county's sand and gravel deposits.
Without the change, that manufacturer might still use Becker County sand and gravel, but after it has been moved by rail to North Dakota, where the plant would be built to take advantage of that state's greater truck hauling ability.
As long as axle weight restrictions remain, a semi pulling a trailer won't cause any more damage than two semis following each other -- and the change will save fuel, Okeson said.
Schram and his wife, Janis, have been married for 37 years. They have two grown sons. Schram is a member of both the Northwoods and Ultra snowmobile clubs, the Midnight Cruisers auto club, and the Holy Rosary Church in Detroit Lakes.
"I'm kind of the go-to guy," that other commissioners turn to if someone is needed to represent the board, Schram said, because he has time to attend and time to research the issues.
Okeson is single with a grown daughter and grown son. He is a member of the Eagles, the Patriot Guard motorcycle group and Trinity Lutheran Church in Detroit Lakes.
"I want to treat everyone fairly," Okeson said. "I listen to their concerns and listen to common sense and my past experiences in forming my decisions."

The 23-year-old has been in strong form and with Leigh Halfpenny unlikely to tour due to shoulder surgery was in the frame to add to his three caps. The injury has proven to be more serious than originally thought and will also likely rule him out of the Dragons' race for a Heineken Cup spot.
"We are waiting for more info, but it could be long term," Dragons coach Paul Turner told the South Wales Argus.
"He is a tough cookie so it's quite serious, early indications aren't great," head coach Sean Holley told BBC Sport.

The 2014 Strawberry Fall Music Festival will take place after all, but not at Camp Mather and not over Labor Day weekend.
Festival founder Charlie Cran announced Wednesday that the festival will be held Thursday through Sunday, Sept. 11 to 15, at the Nevada County Fairgrounds in Grass Valley.
He said the venue offered him "sanctuary" after the City and County of San Francisco formally rejected his request for a fall permit at Camp Mather, where the festival has been held for more than 30 years.
In a three-page letter dated May 1, officials at the San Francisco Recreation and Park Department cited public safety concerns resulting from the 2013 Rim Fire and a questionable water supply from the current drought as primary reasons for denying the permit.
Susan Skalski, superintendent of the Stanislaus National Forest, also had voiced her concerns over public safety following the fire.
Cran said he has reached an agreement with officials at the Nevada County Fairgrounds and was traveling there today to sign the contract. Once the papers are signed, they will be forwarded to the U.S. Small Business Administration for review.
For the complete story, see the May 15, 2014, edition of The Union Democrat.

CHORLEY visit Colwyn Bay tonight in Conference North action with a Blackburn Rovers v Burnley edge to the fixture.
The Magpies, who drew 2-2 with Lowestoft Town in their season opener on Saturday, are managed by former Ewood Park midfielder Garry Flitcroft while ex-Clarets defender Frank Sinclair is in charge at the Welsh club.
That East Lancashire derby connection will add an extra edge to the game with both sides looking for their first win of the new season.
Colwyn Bay drew 0-0 with Solihull Moors on Saturday with Sinclair sent off in the second half after swearing at the referee.
He will be able to take his seat on the bench for the visit of Chorley with league rules dictating a two-week wait before a suspension kicks in.
And the former Chelsea man will be looking to get one over Flitcroft.
Both players played in the Premier League with Sinclair playing 288 times for Chelsea and Leicester as well as making just under 100 appearances for Burnley during a three-year stay at Turf Moor.
Flitcroft played 301 times in the top-flight with 200 of those games for Rovers while he also enjoyed Premier League spells with Manchester City and Sheffield United.
There will be another East Lancashire derby connection in the dugouts with Flitcroft assisted by ex-Rover Matt Jansen and former Claret Ade Akinbiyi on Sinclair's coaching team.
The Colwyn Bay boss is waiting on international clearance to come through for former Chorley man Aaron Rey, who he hopes to name in his squad.
"Aaron was down to play on Saturday, but we had to make a late change when his clearance failed to come through," said Sinclair.
"We are doing everything we can to chase it up and hopefully we will get it in time for him to be involved on Tuesday because he gives us another attacking option."
Sinclair, who was sent off for Chelsea at Ewood Park in 1993, saw red in the weekend draw with Solihull Moors but will be in the dug-out tonight.
He said: "I lost my cool over a penalty decision I thought we should have had and I regret that. I went in to apologise to the referee afterwards.
"Respect is a big thing now and I appreciate that, but sometimes you just carried away in the moment."
Chorley will be without Darren Stephenson and Kyle Jacobs through suspension.

App launchers are extremely important, particularly when you have a gazillion apps in your smartphone or tablet. But there are also a gazillion (okay, maybe not that many) app launchers out there, so how do you choose which one best suits your needs? Pie Control is not just an app launcher per se, but it also gives you easy access to the most important things you need in your device. Oh, and it is shaped like a pie (or at least half of it), if you didn't get it from the name itself.
It's not something new actually, if you've had custom Android ROM Paranoid Android on your rooted phone for some time. But now, with this version, any phone or tablet running on Android will be able to use Pie Control. The gesture-activated control center will give you access to the settings, favourite apps, app drawer, menu buttons and other important features.
You can customize which ones you want to see on your pie, your phone options, and which apps you want to immediately see. To activate Pie Control, you can choose to swipe left, right or bottom, whichever feels more natural for you. And even if you're playing a game or using an app, you can still activate the app and then switch to another app or go to the settings quickly.
Pie Control has a free version, which has most of the features you need, including a notepad, an app drawer widget, a WiFi toggle and others. But if you want to be able to add more shortcuts, show recent apps and show a battery bar, among other things, then you need to pay $1.99 for the Pro version. You can download the free app from the Google Play Store.

Andrew Lewis ft. Vienna - Traveler
The practice of leaving outrageously dope material on the cutting-room floor, thereby leading listeners to assume that your forthcoming project is full of even better records, has become so widespread that I'm beginning to wonder whether artists have begun to intentionally exclude the freshest cuts from their releases. Or maybe I'm just nuts. In any case, Andrew Lewis' latest offering, Traveler, is a prime example of the "How the hell didn't this make the cut?!" phenomenon. Recorded during the sessions for his forthcoming mixtape, this summery banger finds the Party & Bullsh*t rapper-producer hooking up with Booth fave XV to craft a blissfully head-noddable backdrop for his laid-back meditations on the pursuit of artistic excellence: "What I believe's in a dream that no one else sees, so you really can't argue with me." Rising R&B songstress Vienna rounds out the record, contributing her breezy vocal stylings to the chorus. Though this cut, as mentioned above, won't be on the project, fans can expect more freshness on Lewis' Booth-sponsored What Dreams May Come street album, set to hit our mixtape page this spring.

What are your thoughts about this phone? I am going to be running 3g/HSPA+, So I'm hoping the battery life would be usable as compared to LTE.
Any other thoughts about this phone?
The seller is asking for $300, which would be a steal - the rival SGS2 LTE goes for $450 new in box
Please leave some comments, let me know what you think about this phone!!

Beneath the high ceiling of Pelican Grill, basked in soft light from the long windows facing the Pacific Ocean, sits a long polished table for 12. From just several feet away, the dozen lucky diners can watch the Grill's bustling, open-air kitchen. Its sparkling stainless steel, wood-burning brick oven, copper pots and hood and granite work surfaces provide a visual feast as guests enjoy an up-close-and personal view of the preparation of their meal. "It's bringing the dining room into the kitchen," says Executive Chef Jean-Pierre Dubray, who adds that the Tasting Table—the Resort's latest addition of personal dining touches—is part of the communal dining trend among the best restaurants in the world. In this comfortable setting, the warm neutral tones of Pelican Grill inspire relaxation and a jovial, gustatory mood. On the table, rustic-styled china in reds and browns match the fabric of the chairs, and all of the dining accoutrements work in concert with one another. Sights, sounds and smells from the kitchen—garlic sizzling in olive oil, fish broiling in butter— work up your appetite, as does the knowledge that the meal you're about to enjoy has been created specific to you and your tastes. "Guests might say, 'Tomorrow I'm coming with 12 guests and I want prime rib,'" Dubray said. The chef will then take the guests along on his cooking extravaganza, from raw ingredients to ready meal, interacting and answering guests' questions as he prepares and cooks the food. The menu for the Tasting Table, which is also known as a "chef 's table," is created daily, based around the freshest produce and items that Chef Luke Turpin can obtain at market. "Because of the small quantity of menu items prepared for the Tasting Table, the presentation, personalization and unique seasonal ingredients are something different to attract guests, as opposed to taking a seat in the dining room," Turpin said. Sample menus include Maine Diver Scallops and Pomegranate Glazed Wild Salmon. "The chef may have a special meat, special fish or special vegetable, but not have enough for the entire dining room, so it will be unique to this table," Dubray added. What is most special about the Tasting Table, beyond the signature food items, is the relationship between the chef and the guests, and how they interact. Guests get to take part in their meal, rather than first seeing it when their server places it before them. "Sometimes guests know exactly what they want," Turpin said. "They may say, 'I want to try morel mushrooms,' or 'I've always wanted to try this certain dish that I've seen on the Food Network.' They may be foodies and don't want to try cooking a dish for the first time at home, but want to watch it being prepared and have the pleasure of tasting it."

I have alot of files in my project so Goto Anything has become quite slow. Is there a way to stop it loading files in the background as I type?
How big is big?How slow is slow?
I have projects with many thousands of files and millions of 'words' and GTA produces no lag worthy of the name for me in ST3.Even in ST2 which is noticeably slower it is not horrible.This is on a tired old Core 2 Duo so it's not down to my machine being a performance beast.
Why I am asking is to pin down whether GTA is the problem here or if it is something else. Few things are more annoying than solving the wrong problem.
On your specific question I am not aware of any option to change GTA behaviour in the way you suggest.
Not super slow but still slow - there's only a few hundred files in my project but there's a noticeable lag as I type - perhaps 1/10th of a second per char? It can reach well over a second of lag if I type 15 chars for the chars to appear.
I have no idea how I'd time it. I can type and the text will lag way behind. I'm not on a slow machine either - a 2012 model macbook pro.
Thanks for answering the question. That's a shame.
It would be really great if when touch typing it only loaded in the background if there was a small break in keypresses - the same way most autocomplete fields work on the web. Would definately speed things up.
Also I should have mentioned I'm on ST2
I wasn't suggesting timing things but your description of 1/10th of a second does give a clearer picture of what is happening.
It does seem odd since I don't get that experience on my much slower machine, even on ST2.
I can sometimes out-type the display of the characters but once I pause the full string and the results flicks up in about 1/10 second after the last key press which is effectively the behaviour I think you are looking for from the 'wait to load results' (although by a less elegant path). It never gets a long way behind me.
Things get much clunkier if I am deleting characters from the search string.
But maybe you are a better typist and a bit more fussy than I am and that is no bad thing.Expecting the best is how things get made better.
If you have a ST2 licence you might want to give the ST3 beta a try. Speeding up things like GTA is a big part of what ST3 is about and it is noticeably faster in my experience.
Just picked up a ST licence. ST3 works instantly. Thanks for the advice

Wow, it's been over a year since I posted here. What have I been doing, you ask; I've mostly been reading a lot of African writers. Looking at the stacks of books around me, I could post a review a week for a year with what I've read. Why did I stop posting? Let's just leave it that I had a confidence issue.
What prompted me to resume blogging? It had been on my mind for a while but I give Peter Rozovsky at the Detectives Without Borders blog with tipping me. He wrote a recent post on James McClure titled Back to South Africa in James McClure's Shorts. In it he writes about a new collection of James McClure's stories and scripts titled God It Was Fun. It is available in Kindle edition from Amazon.
I love McClure's Kramer and Zondi novels and have been meaning to re-read them. When I discovered that God It Was Fun includes the script for a film adaptation of The Steam Pig, that cinched it. I will read The Steam Pig then the script and compare the two. Yay, a focus that will jumpstart my blog. I'm about 26% into The Steam Pig and I'm enjoying it more the second time. That I'm more familiar with SA literature now probably contributes to that enjoyment.
In addition to McClure's novels I also have a box of articles and book excerpts about McClure that I hope to work into future blog posts. So, with the books (Kindle and print) and my research materials, James McClure is shaping up to be my long term project.
Until next time.

DALY CITY (KCBS) — A proposed medical marijuana ordinance will be taken up by the City Council in Daly City this week as public comments will be heard on possibly banning dispensaries in the city.
Many cities throughout California have already implemented bans on medical marijuana dispensaries and now Daly City will be deciding if it will follow suit.
KCBS' Anna Duckworth Reports:
City Councilmember David Canepa supports a ban and said he's not convinced the dispensaries are economic generators and in fact, argues that they're a strain on public safety personnel.
"These medical marijuana dispensaries have been places where they've been robbed, communities where they're in blighted areas," Canepa said. "So for Daly City, I just don't see a need for those medical marijuana dispensaries to be located."
Canepa said he's also concerned about secondary illegal markets created when dispensary members turn around and sell the marijuana for a profit.
And there's also the continuing clash with the federal government, which has cracked down on cities with large numbers of dispensaries.
"That's why you have Los Angeles County in particular which has sort of let it run rampant," Canepa said. "Now they are looking at a medical marijuana ban. So it's not just Daly City."
Daly City currently has a temporary moratorium on dispensaries in place. The city council is set to take up the issue on Monday night.

Georgia State is headed to the Sun Belt in 2013, with an official announcement coming on Monday in Atlanta, CBSSports.com reported.
The Panthers' announced move from the Colonial Athletic Association to the Sun Belt will come just one day before the CAA was expected to substantially raise its $250,000 exit fee at least four-fold, CAAHoops.com reported.
Georgia State will compete in the Sun Belt in 2013 as a transitional member, meaning it won't be eligible for the league championship or postseason play until 2014.
Other Sun Belt schools include Arkansas State, which finished unbeaten in league play a year ago and won 10 games, Western Kentucky, Louisiana-Lafayette and six others. While the league is also adding South Alabama (its transition season is this year), the Sun Belt could lose some teams to the Conference USA-Mountain West conference merger.
Georgia State is perhaps best known for having Bill Curry as coach. Curry has had head coaching stops at Georgia Tech, Alabama and Kentucky. He is 9-13 in his two seasons with the built-from-scratch Panthers, which started playing football in 2010.

A CAMPAIGNER fighting for improved safety measures close to bridleways after the death of a horse on a South Tyneside road is planning to produce a hard-hitting safety video.
The horse, a 16-year-old black and white cob named Laura, died and its female rider suffered a broken ankle after a collision with a van on Lizard Lane, Marsden, South Shields, on Sunday, July 13.
The tragedy has united the local horse riding community, which is campaigning for moves to make borough roads safer for riders and their animals.
That led to a meeting at Cleadon Methodist Church attended by more than 50 people, including riders, riding school representatives, farmers, police and members of the British Horse Society.
Among the recommendations which emerged was the need for 20mph zones outside all livery yards in South Tyneside.
Now Cleadon Village resident Nigel Oxman, who has organised an online petition for action, aims to make a professional safety video which highlights the dangers that riders face on the roads.
And he has made an appeal for a family of horse riders – who do not necessarily need to have acting experience – to star in the venture.
Mr Oxman, who hopes that the final video will be shown across the country, said: "We have had thousands sign our online petition and things are really starting to snowball.
"Now the aim is to make an awareness video, and we need a mother and father and son and daughter to appear.
"We want it to be as hard-hitting as possible, and it would involve an accident and the consequences for a family about to celebrate Christmas."
The car dealer has family members in TV production and he aims to use their expertise to make the film, which will also highlight the dangers that riders face on the road, from discarded bottles and litter, and the benefits of the Pegasus road crossing for horses.
Anyone who is interested in supporting the film can contact Mr Oxman on 0794 7147337 or e-mail email@example.com

text: I see some not so great reviews on this one so maybe I'm by myself here but I loved this tea. I don't really like super strong chai teas, they have too much of a spicy flavor so I think that's why. I'm so upset that I can't find it anymore! I've been using the Bigelow regular Spiced Chai with some vanilla extract. The only thing I do have to say is that I agree with some people saying that milk cancels out the flavors.

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- Public funding for a longtime Ensley festival was restored today after the Birmingham City Council approved $13,000 for the annual Function at the Junction.
The council in early May took away money for the summer Hawkins Park festival that celebrates the birth of jazz composer and Birmingham native Erskine Hawkins. But that action was brought back for reconsideration at the request of the Budget and Finance Committee. That committee is chaired by Councilman Steven Hoyt, whose district includes Hawkins Park.
Hoyt's request was a reversal of his previous vote against funding the Function at the Junction cut, which was among $75,000 for entertainment related events proposed by Mayor William Bell.
Hoyt told The Birmingham News later that his original vote against the funding was because that first package of events was to come from fund balance the city's savings, rather than money already in the budget.
"I see us spend money all over this city, and we spent several years throwing money down a black hole called City Stages, and here we have an opportunity to support a legend," he said. "The event is named in celebration of Erskine Hawkins, who helped change America through his music. Everybody should have voted for it, frankly."
Today's vote restoring the money passed 6-2 with council members Valerie Abbott and Kim Rafferty voting no and Council President Roderick Royal absent.
Abbott was the most vocal against the spending, saying she opposed using any more public money for entertainment-related events. She reminded the council of its previous agreement that the city would not spend money on unbudgeted extra amenities or entertainment just before the end of this fiscal year.
The money to restore funding comes from extra funds left over after the city paid its obligation to the Jefferson County Personnel Board, said Terry Burney, a senior aide to the mayor.
However, Abbott called it a misnomer to term any city money as "extra."
"This isn't extra money, this is still the public's money," she said. "There's no such thing as extra money being left over."
Councilwoman Carole Smitherman defended the spending, calling the festival a good use of public money for a large morale-boosting event. With economic problems abound, resident deserve even a brief respite from seemingly insurmountable issues, Smitherman said.
"If people can get just a little relief, it goes a long way," she said.
