Lee superintendent proposes school safety enhancements
In the wake of the deadly school shooting in Newtown, Conn., last month, Lee County Schools are looking to beef up security on all 16 campuses around the district.
Superintendent Jeff Moss will ask for additional funds at Monday's meeting of the Lee County Board of Commissioners to secure the front entrances of all the schools and to install electronic locks at all secondary entrances. Moss said school officials have been considering additional security for some time, and the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre of 26 people was the catalyst that prompted them to act.
In an email sent about two weeks ago, Moss told County Manager John Crumpton he was in the process of soliciting bids for the security systems. On Wednesday, Moss said two security companies had toured the schools, with a third on its way, and their bids would be in by Friday.
John Bonardi, vice-chairman of the Lee County Board of Education and chairman of the board's Facilities and Technology Committee, which would oversee the implementation of the security systems, said he couldn't be sure until he sees the bids, but estimated the proposed measures would cost about $300,000.
At the main entrance of each school, which is now kept open during school hours, Moss wants an audio-visual intercom system that would let staff buzz visitors into the school. He said anyone who is armed would obviously not be let in, as well as people who are banned from school grounds either by court order or the district's own judgment.
Other than those cut-and-dried situations, Moss said, receptionists would use their own judgment in deciding whether to allow or deny entrance to someone, or to take another route such as calling a principal or school resource officer for additional help.
He said the main entrances are the biggest concern but that secondary doors — which are normally kept locked, accessible only by keys given to staff — could also use a digital update. Moss said that would hopefully lead to staff no longer leaving a door open inadvertently, which he said does sometimes happen.
"Part of the problem is, for instance at an elementary school where students are going in and out from the modular classroom units outside, or during recess, doors can get propped open so kids can go in and out to use the bathroom," he said. "This way, they can have ease of access in and out."
In addition to the physical improvements he's proposing, Moss said the district is also revamping its emergency procedures. He declined to give specifics, saying he didn't want potential wrongdoers to know where students will be going to and from during emergencies.
Bonardi said if the county approves the appropriations on Monday, the school board will take a vote at its own meeting the next day, Jan. 8, during which the panel will also be discussing a controversial calendar change. If both boards approve the request, he said, the systems could be installed within just a few weeks.
Acknowledging other security proposals that have been floated in the wake of the Newtown shootings, Moss said he thinks what he's proposing is the best solution for Lee County — and that other plans might actually do more harm than good.
"I know the [National Rifle Association's] promoting arming everyone on campus, but I don't know that I'm a proponent of letting guns into my schools," he said.

I don't lay claim to queen-like qualities, even if I do believe that I was Madame de Pompadour in a former life (long story and yes I know she was not a Queen, only a mistress… but what power!), but I often say "Let them eat cake". Nothing in the fridge? Eat cake! Nothing for dinner? Eat cake! Whether the best of times or the worst of times, there is always cake in this house. My shopping carts are always filled to bursting with bags of flour, boxes of sugar, sachets of yeast and baking powder. Bottles of vanilla extract and maple syrup line my pantry shelves next to the colored sprinkles and cocoa powder. Plastic containers carefully stacked are packed with bars of baking chocolate and dark brown sugar, nuts and chocolate chips. Dozens of eggs and sticks of butter take up too much room in my refrigerator. But food? Food, as in lunch and dinner, food? Sometimes but not always. Off with ye to the market if ye be hungry…
Well, maybe I do harbor princess-like tendencies. I crave luxury and want to be pampered. Bubble baths and flutes of champagne, boxes of chocolates and help in the house, someone else to walk the dog and wash the dishes. The blending, stirring of cake batter is true luxury, so silky and smooth. I want my home filled with the scent of cinnamon and chocolate, the warmth of a hot oven. I love the sensuality of kneading soft, sweet dough and rolling it out, shaping it and filling it with mounds of caramelized fruit or showers of cinnamon-sugar and chocolate chips. Spreading frosting is a guilty little pleasure, sometimes the reason behind the making of the cake, swirling and swagging sensuously.
The mood strikes and I wander the house, tapping on bedroom doors, blocking the tv screen with my body, and announce my desire to bake a cake. What flavor shall it be? Husband asks "Isn't there already enough to eat?" Older son shrugs his shoulders and, if pressed, turns on me and claims abuse "You bake too much. We can't and don't want to eat everything you bake!" or else he rolls his eyes and says "Why do you even ask? Just bake it and you know I'll eat it!" Younger son chastises me for even considering making anything other than the 3 cakes he knows and loves. And if I press, maybe suggesting a new recipe or hite layers instead of chocolate, he'll turn on me and say "well, how about if I just say that I won't eat it at all! Okay? I won't eat any of it! So you make what you'll eat!" Princess or not, those around me do not give me the adulation I deserve.
But some of my wonderful food blogger friends have! (Oh, just joking!). I have made a dense, fudgy chocolate cake with our favorite chocolate buttercream frosting and I would love to share this cake with at least two of you who have recently honored me (and my queenly service to the world of food bloggers – see the royal wave?) with awards.
Rebecca of Chow and Chatter has presented me with the Meme Award. I have recently gotten to know Rebecca and not only does she have great recipes on her blog – so many exotic recipes, foreign cuisines, all so easy to prepare (and healthy to boot) – and a beautiful daughter, but she is such a wonderful, lovely person and I now consider her a great friend. I am honored that she presented me with this award.
The requirement for this award is to list 7 things about your personality and then pass the award on to 7 other bloggers. Funny thing is, when I read Rebecca's list about her personality, I was struck by how much alike we are! No wonder we get along so well! So here goes:
1. I am a great friend and the one people turn to for a shoulder, an ear, advice or a kind word. I go out of my way for my friends. My husband once told me that maybe my role in life was "to be lovely for others". Friends and family are the most important thing to me.
2. I get itchy every few years to move. I crave new places and new situations, discovering new cultures. I fall into place quickly and adapt. And I need to keep moving.
3. I procrastinate. I put things off until I can't anymore, whether mailing out gifts, making a doctor's appointment, anything and everything. Keeping a blog has helped me in this respect. I've learned a little bit how to get things done on time.
4. I worry. About everything.
5. I am funny in my own odd way. As serious as I often am when need be, I love to joke and tease – you may have noticed that on comments I've left on blogs – and love to laugh and hope others laugh with me and don't misread my odd, dry sense of humor. I also deal with hurt and sadness with humor; that is a family trait.
6. I am overly sensitive, taking too many things personally. When husband wants to tease me or force me to look at things a bit clearer, he says "Oh, I'm sure so-and-so hates you!" On the flip side, I am too naïve and trusting, always believing the best in people even when they are blatantly bad, I still try and believe.
7. I am friendly and love nothing more than breaking down barriers, false societal codes, etc. I love to talk with people and have the knack of getting people to let down their hair, open up and start talking about what they have locked up inside, or making them laugh and become friendly and familiar even when it isn't their way.
I would now like to pass on this award to some great friends and fabulous food bloggers:
Nanette aka Ms Gourmet of Gourmet Worrier
Rachael of La Fuji Mama
Barbara of Barbara Bakes
Meeta of What's For Lunch, Honey?
Mary of One Perfect Bite
Deb of Italian Food Forever
Renee of Flamingo Musings
Sophie of Sophie's Foodiefiles awarded me the One Lovely Blog Award. I love Sophie's blog. She, too, has wonderful, creative food and recipes on her blog that you must check out. She does have One Lovely Blog and I am thrilled that she thought to pass this award on to me.
I would like to give the One Lovely Blog Award to two food bloggers – and friends – who both indeed have very lovely blogs: incredible recipes and stunning photography. So worth a trip to visit their blogs.
Deeba of Passionate about Baking
Mowie of Mowielicious
This is truly the icing on the food blogging cake!
So back to the grind, back to trying to convince my men that one more slice of cake is good for them, better than bread, or when I proclaim that dense, dark and chocolate will soothe the soul, lift the spirits, and keep away the maddening crowd. I know that sometimes they want off with my head when they are clamoring for a meal and all I offer is a slice of something sweet, my loyal subjects no longer quite so loyal when they find me aproned, sweeps of flour kissing my cheek, licking dabs of chocolate from my dainty fingers. They do not smile when I inform them that with a little patience they can indeed have their cake and eat it, too.
I have two favorite chocolate cake recipes, one light and airy, smooth and silky, the other dense and incredibly moist, decadent to the point of sinful. I decided to turn to my King Arthur Flour Baker's Companion and try a Devil's Food Cake. It came out wonderfully dense and chewy, a delightful change to my others. As you can see, the baking was uneven, the results of an oven much too small, so I had to continually flip and switch the cakes around. Next time I will bake one layer at a time to avoid this. But even if it looks uneven it came out delicious. Eating this cake I tasted no difference. It was wonderful.
I frosted the cake with a double quantity of our favorite easy chocolate buttercream.
Makes a double-layer 9" cake or triple layer 8" cake or a 9 x 13" sheet cake
12 Tbs (1 ½ sticks, 175 g) unsalted butter softened to room temperature
1 ¾ cups (350 g) sugar
½ tsp salt
1 ½ tsp baking soda
2 tsps vanilla
2 cups (240 g) flour
¾ cup (65 g) cocoa powder
4 large eggs
1 ½ cups (375 ml) milk
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Butter and line the baking pans.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, the sugar, salt, baking soda and the vanilla until fluffy, about 5 minutes. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and cocoa making sure no lumps remain, sifting if need be.
Beat in the eggs to the butter mixture, one egg at a time, beating well after each addition. Slowly blend 1/3 of the flour mixture into the creamed mixture, then half the milk and so on until all the dry ingredients and the milk have been beaten in., scraping the sides as needed.
Divide the batter evenly between the pans and smooth.
Bake the cakes in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes (a bit longer for the sheet pan, a bit shorter for the 8" pans) until set in the center and the sides of the cake just begin to pull away from the sides of the pan.
Remove the cakes from the oven and allow to cool for 5 to 10 minutes before turning out onto cooling racks. Cool completely before frosting.

I certainly would not get complaints around here if I baked your delicious chocolate cake - we would eat it for breakfast too. I especially loved the part of the frosting recipe that says "Using the spatula eat any remaining frosting left in the bowl."

Your post made me laugh. In this household here (which is really only two people, so that makes it easier I guess) we have the opposite problem. I mean; I love to bake but don't do it too often as we tend to eat all of it... and quite frankly, my waistline could do without more cake! But my guy would want me to make cake everyday if he got the chance...!
Wonderful cake too by the way..:)

Testing of the upcoming F32 4 Series coupe continues after the reveal of the 4 Series Coupe Concept and it has now advanced to FEP (Final Evaluation Phase) stage, as usually indicated by the sighting of a prototype in production colors.
After the great first look at the F32 production Sport Line model we posted last month, it almost seems we're going backwards in terms of how revealing this test mule is. But, we also got very lucky with last months very revealing sighting.
But, we do … CONTINUED
Many are calling the just revealed F32 4 Series Coupe Concept a baby 6 Series coupe, an understandable comparison given the coupe's new sleek low-slung and rear fastback shaped look. Some of you have requested a comparo, so here's a look at how the two coupes compare visually and specs-wise.
As with the other comparison threads, keep in mind that we are comparing a concept against a production model, but nonetheless the general styling, shape, and dimensions of the 4 Series Coupe Concept will carry over … CONTINUED
Another look at the F32 4 Series Coupe Concept debut at the BMW Design Night held two nights ago. Adrian Van Hooydonk, head of BMW design, talks a bit about the design of the F32 concept.
BMW held its Design Night premiering the new 4 Series Coupe Concept yesterday evening. The heads of BMW design and marketing were on hand to introduce the beautiful new concept.
The F32 4 Series coupe will begin deliveries starting late summer – early Fall of 2013 and it's currently rumored to be projected for a "just over" 2,000 euro higher price tag than the F30 3 series.
Here are some photos and video, via krone.at and exklusivgolfen.
With the 4 Series Coupe Concept being revealed to overwhelmingly positive reactions, the question on many a fan's mind is what the production version may be priced at when it hits the market in late summer of 2013. With its 4 Series badging, the coupe has now been slotted above the 3 Series in the lineup and the presumption is that the 4 Series price premium above the 3 Series will increase more than ever (the coupe has always been priced higher than the sedan). … CONTINUED
It's been known for a while that BMW's intention with the F32 4 Series coupe was to distinguish it from the F30 3 Series sedan more than a 3-Series-based-coupe-model has been with previous 3 Series generations. With the reveal of the 4 Series Coupe Concept, there's little doubt that this has been accomplished.
In addition to the unique styling elements you can see on the F32 concept, the F32 is longer, wider and lower than the F30, giving it a squat aggressive look. We've put together … CONTINUED
Here are some side-by-side comparisons of the just revealed F32 BMW 4 Series Concept Coupe [full details and photos] against the E92 3 Series Coupe (LCI). The 4 Series Coupe will replace the 3 Series Coupe as BMW's mid-size sports coupe in its lineup.
Keep in mind that we are comparing a concept against a production model, but nonetheless the general styling, shape, and dimensions of the 4 Series Coupe Concept will carry over to the production model. The more conceptually styled elements such as the … CONTINUED

Our member artists continue to give us potential previews of the 2014 BMW 4 Series with some great digital renders. Harold Wood has put together these speculative preview of the F32 4 Series Coupe, F33 4 Series Convertible, F32 4 Series Alpina B4, and F82 M4 coupe.
Check out this beautiful F32 4 Series coupe render by our resident artist E92Alpine328i (Jerry Alvarez), based off an actual spy photo (seen below), as well as some sketches by BMW insider Scott26.
This one's received some imaginary modifications – lowered suspension, big brake kit, HRE wheels, and M Sport sideskirts.

It's been months since we last spied the 2014 4 Series (F32) Coupe, but here it is, in production form and nearly fully uncovered! What we see is a sleek sports coupe version of the F30 sedan which resembles a smaller 6 Series. And yes, we are now certain that it will come to market as the "4 Series."
Compared to the current E92 3 Series coupe, the F32 features a sleeker roofline with a more fastback shaped tail end (though not nearly as dramatic as … CONTINUED
Our friend from Car and Driver, Jens Meiners, reports that the concept version of the upcoming 4 Series coupe – the two door sports coupe model based off the current F30 3 Series sedan, will be unveiled at the 2013 Detroit auto show in January.
If the concept 4 Series coupe indeed makes its debut at the Detroit show, along with the concept X4 SAV which is also rumored to make the show, then the 2013 Detroit show would no doubt be one of the most … CONTINUED
Here's a fun little preview for BIMMERPOST members and readers. Can you guess what new BMW model is seen in this photo?
We're not allowed to publish it just yet, but check our homepage soon for the answer!
We have been reporting and referring to the upcoming F32 and F82 models as the 4 Series Coupe and M4 Coupe for months now, and Automobile now comes in with their ruminations on what the M4 and 4 series lineup will bring. Although much of this is not new information, it provides a good review of what to expect for the upcoming 4 Series and M4:
4 Series Coupe (F32), 4 Series Convertible (F33), and Gran Coupe (F36)

BMW maintains that the sometimes maligned 5-Series GT is a good seller despite the public perception, so much so that a scaled down 3-Series iteration has been under development for some time. Now it seems the development of this car is nearing the point of public release and so BMW has dropped the typical body cladding and now only covers the car up in a minimal amount of camouflage tape.
While the general shape of this car has been known to follow the 5-Series GT lines, what … CONTINUED
It's not official until it's official (BMW announces it publicly), but further confirming clues that the F32 coupe will be badged as the 4 Series Coupe comes from a list of a list of forthcoming miniature scale models that BMW AG has released internally in Germany, according to BMW insider Scott26.
In addition to the new M6 models and 6 Series Gran Coupe, they identify the F34 3 Series Gran Turismo and the F32 "4 Series" Coupe as the upcoming BMW miniatures to be released.
If true, with … CONTINUED
The F32 4 Series Coupe and F33 4 Series Convertible have finally shown one of its most important signature design elements (and on any BMW) – the kidney grilles!
As expected, the kidney grilles of the coupe are sportier (thinner, shapelier and wider) than that of the F30 3 Series sedan. A close look reveals a different number of slats and differing designs for the grilles on each side – 11 flatter slats on the driver side versus 9 'kinked' slats on the passenger side.

Calendar Snapshot:
Below is an example week of workouts from this training plan.
Welcome to the Runner's World Break 30 5K training plan. This eight-week plan is designed to help you cross the finish line at a 5K in 30 minutes.
Each Monday, you'll get a note about your training for the week ahead. And each day, you'll receive an e-mail reminding you about the workout for the day, plus Runner's World's best tips on training, nutrition, and injury prevention. Today, your training kicks off with a day of rest. This week you'll have two more rest days, three short runs, and a longer run of four miles. If you want to add miles, do it on an easy day. But don't extend any run by more than one or two miles, or add miles on Saturday (the day before your long run). Doing too much too soon is a recipe for injury.
Have technical questions? Write to firstname.lastname@example.com. Want to train for a half-marathon or a marathon? Consider joining the Runner's World Challenge. For more information go to runnersworldchallenge.com.
2 Miles Easy
When you head out today, focus on maintaining a comfortable, conversational rhythm. These easy days are meant to strengthen muscles, build endurance, and burn fat, but the key is to keep the effort conservative so you're not worn out for the hard workouts ahead. You want to finish each run feeling like you have the energy to run longer. (Pace: 11:58/mile)
4 Miles Easy
Run at your relaxed pace today, or cross-train on a bike or an elliptical trainer. You may feel like the prescribed pace is too easy. But the key is to take the easy runs easy so you can build your fitness without getting injured. (Pace: 11:58/mile)
Ideally, on rest days you should do no exercise at all. But it's okay to cross-train with a no-impact activity like stretching, yoga, or swimming.
3 Miles Easy
On easy days, cross-training should involve a sustained aerobic effort with an activity like cycling or using an elliptical trainer for the same amount of time you'd spend on the day's mileage. If you plan to incorporate cross-training into your preparation and want to try a new activity, be sure to do it in this early base-building stage of training. In the weeks before the race, you'll want to avoid trying new activities because of the risk of injury so close to your goal event. (Pace: 11:58)
When you first start training, it's easy to think that more is better. But whenever you run instead of resting, or go harder than you should, you raise your risk of exhaustion, burnout, and injury. Stay focused on your bigger objective of getting to the starting line healthy, and staying energized for your quality workouts. This will help keep your training more consistent and increase the chances that you?ll reach your race-day goals.
4 Miles LSD
Sundays will be reserved for long, slow distance (LSD) runs to build your endurance. Long runs improve aerobic capacity, develop your strength, and get you accustomed to spending a longer time on your feet. Don't worry too much about your pace on long runs; just focus on the distance you want to cover for the day. If you feel like taking short walk breaks, that's okay. The goal is to stay on your feet for a given distance. (Pace: 11:58/mile)
Runner's World Break 30 Minutes 5K Plan (8 weeks)
Ideal for runners who want to finish a 5K in less than 30 minutes, with an average pace of 9:39 per mile.

Curt Phillips played in the first-ever basketball held in the Williamson Fieldhouse back in 1951. The Wolfpack played the Wayne Pioneers.
Phillips knows the history of the grand old building. He has been working and researching some of the history for the Williamson Park Board.
The Williamson Fieldhouse was recently placed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The players that hit the hardwood in the local facility are like an NBA All-Star team. Throw in some top-notch college players and it is almost unbelievable to hear him rattle off the names of those who fired up shots at the local Fieldhouse.
Future NBA stars like Jerry West, Hal Greer, "Hot" Rod Hundley, Donnis Butcher and Rod Thorn. The first black player to be drafted and to play in the NBA was Earl Lloyd of West Virginia State. He played in an all-star game at the Fieldhouse.
In past years college players would barnstorm around to different locations to play exhibition games with local stars.
Phillips said a squad from Williamson recruited Marshall's Hal Greer to play with them against one such traveling squad. He and Greer then exchanged jerseys after the game was over.
Other college stars that played in the historic old building were "King" Kelly Coleman, Walt Wollowac, Jim Davidson, Charlie Slack, Jim Workman, Bevo Francis and Leo Byrd.
Then you have the hundreds of great high school players that suited up there for the Wolfpack teams and those visiting schools that ventured into Williamson to take on WHS. Those are just too many to name them all.
The famed Harlem Globetrotters also glided and dribbled their hoops magic on the court at the West End basketball facility.
The names of those basketball players who came out of the dressing rooms at the Fieldhouse are fantastic. However, that doesn't even include those great baseball and football players who played on the adjacent Lefty Hamilton Park field.
There were many great players who laced up their cleats to play on that grand old field as well. But, that's another story, for anther time.
Phillips, a longtime fireman and retired chief for the city of Williamson, has now served on the Williamson Park Board for 30 years.
The 6-4 Phillips graduated from WHS back in 1953. He became a longtime booster and coach for the local midget league programs and was a WHS supporter for many years. He is also in the Wolfpack Hall of Fame.
Like many of us, he has many great memories of the Williamson Fieldhouse.

Originally published on Sat March 30, 2013 8:19 am
When does a story about science become science fiction? Cosmologist Lawrence Krauss and theoretical physicist Brian Greene discuss how to spin a yarn about string theory or the Big Bang, without hyping the science. And novelist Ian McEwan, whose books touch on neurosurgery and quantum field theory, talks about what science offers to fiction.

I found this scripture at another website and I wanted to share it with you all. May you find comfort in God's Word for His promises are true.
In Ramah a voice is heard, crying and weeping loudly. Rachel mourns for her children and refuses to be comforted, because they are dead.
But I, the LORD, tell you to dry your tears. Someday your children will come home from the enemy's land. Then all you have done for them will be greatly rewarded.
So don't lose hope. I, the LORD, have spoken. Jeremiah 31:15-17

What would you take if your house caught on fire?
Parade magazine asked readers that question a few weeks ago, in a promotion for photographer Foster Huntingtons new book The Burning House. Online were a sampling of answers and photos of the things some people would save. An architecture student in LA chose a vintage suitcase, his dog, and a marionette. For an African bushman, it was a hoe, water bottle, shoes and wooden bracelet. A guy in eastern Europe listed his favorite albums and a special t-shirt.
What would you save? If you said, Myself, dont feel bad. Self-preservation is the strongest instinct we have, and fire is a primal thing. I like to believe I wouldnt leave without Widdle and our beloved Nicky, but I might jump out a window first and think second. Hard to say.
Lets say your loved ones are safe and you have five minutes. What is so precious you couldnt bear to lose it?
The way my mind works, Id probably grab a corkscrew, my flat-iron (you know, the kind you buy at Target for $15), a reading light from the bedside table, 10 pounds of turkey meatballs, fake pearls that have been in the family for 65 years and a flash drive that contains 101 Delicious Recipes for Tofu. Like I said, thats how my mind works.
We have more than 1,200 hardback books shelved throughout our home. No way I could save them all, or even a few dozen. Maybe Id try to grab The Book of Joe, by the actor Vincent Price. Its a memoir about the adventures of Prices dog, Joe, in Beverly Hills. I read it as a child; it was sparkling and hilarious, and transported me to a world beyond our humble home on a dirt road. I finally found a copy in decent shape two years ago, after searching for 20 years, and I still wont tell Widdle how much I paid for it.
I might snag my tattered first edition of Black Beauty or E.E. Milnes When We Were Very Young. I couldnt grab the family Bible, because T-Bob keeps that at his home in Florida. Maybe Id snatch a couple of oil paintings off the wall, and the white porcelain platter I bought from a man in Lake Tahoe, who swore it was from Paris.
Id probably grab an antique-framed, 80-year-old photograph of my mother, in which she is standing solemnly by a garden gate. (People say I have her cautious eyes.) And how could I run without the black and white portraits of my father that Ive painstakingly restored, framed and showcased in every room?
Widdle, the practical one, would have enough sense to load up the laptops and the checkbooks. Id still be running in circles toting old scrapbooks and the vintage bunny-on-a-log needlepoint I inherited from mad Aunt Martha.
What I should save is the fireproof metal strongbox containing our wills, deeds, titles and mortgage information, if only we had a fireproof metal strongbox containing our wills, deeds and mortgage information. We keep such things in a leaning file cabinet thats also stuffed with greeting cards, old birthday balloons, tax returns, receipts, faded car titles and canceled checks. So, no, we are not prepared.
In the end, Id probably grab things that speak of love and memories. Everything else can burn. Except my flat iron.

Every year, we have more accidents in the State of California than in any other state simply due to the fact that there are more cars and more highways in this state. There are more accidents in Los Angeles, Orange County, and San Diego than other major cities. A major fraction of the lands in the Los Angeles County area is covered by highways.
In a report that was produced by the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration, more than 39,000 people were fatally injured in traffic collisions in just one year. Fortunately, this amount has decreased to a significant extent in recent times. However, we would this number to be as low as possible. People in the city no longer walk or take their bicycle with them when going to work in the morning. The main reason is reliability. Distances are far, and a bicycle is not a reliable form of transportation for long distances. Therefore, usage of automobiles is higher today than any other time in history because people use cars for almost any daily activity, even when they go to their local grocery store. There are also taxi cabs. When you have so many people traveling using taxis, there is a higher chance of an incident happening.Why should you seek medical attention after an accident?
If you are injured, you should really try to follow a procedure that will maximize your chances of recovery. First, you need to know that in order to support your injury claim, you will need as much evidence as possible. The more evidence you have, the easier it will be to prove your case, should you end up filing a lawsuit. Contact a personal injury lawyer that specializes in car accidents and see what it is that you need to do. If you never visited the doctor, the other person's insurance company would have a strong case against you. You never bothered to visit the doctor or seek treatment. In their eyes, you are not injured. If you claim you are injured too late, they will suspect that you are lying.
Other than the medical problems and hospital bills, you may have other damages. For example, you may be unable to return to work due to physical injury. You will want to speak to your doctor to obtain medical reports of your condition, showing that you are not able to work. Then, you will let the other person or their representative know that you are going to miss work. Then, you calculate how much this is going to cost you in terms of dollars. If you make $100 per hour and missed 20 hours, then you have lost $2000 as a result of the accident, and that amount becomes part of your damages, which you will sue for if you have to. If you have been injured at work, then that falls under workers compensation. We are not talking about that here. We are talking about auto accident lawyer Los Angeles. In these cases, you contact a car accident attorney Los Angeles. Don't worry about how many magazines the attorney has appeared in, pay more attention to his experience. In addition to the lost income, you can also get paid for expected future medical care. For example, if it is expected that you will need a medical treatment once a month, the insurance company will calculate how many times you will need that medical treatment in your lifetime, and pay you for it.
You can have a look at the case of a 26-year old client who was active in various sports and a teacher. He was an acting teacher, so his job involved a lot of physical work. He was stopped at a red light when a car from behind him, who was distracted while texting, rear ended up. Our client suffered some physical injury, and we assisted him in obtaining the right medical treatments. We got our neurosurgeon colleague to perform a surgery to repair his herniated back.
We received a high settlement for his injuries. If you are in a similar situation, contact an experienced lawyer to take your case on contingency. This way, you don't have to worry about the cost of litigation and the cost of your medical bills when you have enough on your plate. You can also head over to City of Los Angeles and check out the website.

WOW....saw a listing at the bottom of one of those for a complete spikes lower for $799 ?
If nothing ever comes of this ban talk theres gonna be alot of people feeling really stupid for paying these idiotic prices.
I pretty much have what I want. I have moved on to buying what I can that is still somewhat "cheap" like certain ammo. I may buy an occassional evil "sniper" rifle here and there but the good thing about the "prepper" lifestyle is that you are already ahead of the curve so to speak. Still a couple other big bad black rifles I would like to get but I'm good. Just not going to pay insane prices - I will put my efforts back into food storage, raw rural land and precious metals for now.
When you're born you get a ticket to the freak show. When you're born in America , you get a front row seat. - George Carlin
I would be happy too except for the tragic boating accident last summer on the Chesapeake Bay where all of my fireams, mags and ammo were lost!

What is a golf club? The club is the apparatus used by the golfer to hit the ball. No club, no golf. Golf clubs come in a variety of different types and construction, though the three classes that these types can be divided into are woods, irons (considered the most versatile) and putters.
Each club is composed of two main parts; the shaft,with a lance for grip, and a club head. Based on the type and class, the shafts and club heads differ drastically for the respective purposes.
The first class of golf clubs is called woods; woods are the first club to be put into play on a golf course. Long distance clubs, they are meant to drive the ball a great distance down the fairway. As the name implies, woods were previously made of wood, specifically persimmon wood. Taylor-made introduced the first all-metal woods club in 1979; since then, wood is rarely used and today most are made with a graphite shaft and a titanium, composite or steel head. Woods typically have a large head and long shaft made for maximum club speed, and although they are made specifically for longer distance, they are typically more difficult to control. These clubs can be further divided into two main categories; drivers and fairways. A driver is often the club used from the tee, and is the farthest hitting club. Fairways are often use immediately after the driver, on the second shot for tee, and are also used in long distance scenarios. Though I won't go into great detail there, there are many different makes and types of drivers and fairways, each with their pros and cons.
The second class of golf clubs is called irons. Irons were originally called that because, unlike woods, they have been made with iron for centuries. Irons are typically made with thin club heads with grooved faces; irons are used to play a shot from the first two hits after the tee until the ball reaches the green. While you can play an iron from the tee box, most of your iron shots will come from the fairway. Irons are then further classified by the divisions of short irons, long irons, and mid-irons, which are further divided into sub classes, based on the differentiated angle of loft on the clubface. Again, this article deals with the basic classifications of golf clubs and will not go into detail here.
Finally, we come to the putters. Putters are used to 'putt' the ball onto the green. If you have ever played mini-golf, you've used a scaled-down version of a putter. Once the ball is on the green, a putter is used to make a concise and controlled shot in order to get the ball in the hole. A putter is short and straight-faced, allowing for the perfect shot.
As mentioned before, golf clubs come in many different shapes, sizes, and makes, each of them created specifically for a certain shot, with their own strengths and weaknesses. By making sure you have a variety of different clubs, you can be well on your way to becoming a golf-pro.

It is sad that the folks with money are the ones that can get a legal transferable FA weapon. I strongly believe that ANYONE that has the background check should be allowed to own a fully automatic firearm, from the stand point that we should have weapons that are used by combat troops to our disposal. Price keeps many from buying a FA, and sometimes state regulations curtail this. Wonder how this will work when the Second Amendment is found to be state to state wide and not just in D.C. in the up coming SCOTUS decisions?
I also believe that one should always have ability to have or build a sound suppressor. It is ecologically better, it's less annoying to neighbors, and since the inception of the NFA on that silencer only 2 people have been killed with suppressors illegally. I also would advocate a suppressor for a deer hunting rifle. Would keep you from giving away your position and would be easier on your ear drums. Perhaps if there were a way to eliminate some of the emissions of the powder burn one could put on a suppressor to keep the air clean?
All in all I believe in full auto weapons, just not illegal ones and dangerous ones tinkered with at home. Leave it to a professional gunsmith that has knowledge of such things. I also believe in suppressors and would love to enact legislature to remove that outdated law from the books.

Instagram group aims to share Toledo with worldWritten by Danielle Stanton | | firstname.lastname@example.com
A guy who works at a local bar, a stay-at-home mom, a teacher —people from disparate walks of life are connecting on Instagram to share their love of Toledo.
@IGers_Toledo is an Instagram community of amateur and professional photographers shining a light on the Glass City's assets. The group's posts have drawn visitors from Ann Arbor, Detroit, Cleveland and Columbus as well as sparked connections with Instagrammers from around the world.
They're snapping shots of the city and posting them online because they're proud of the city, they say, and want Toledo's detractors to change their tune.
"If you don't like it here do something to make it better or leave," said Jeff Jones of Snap It Photography, who co-founded the group. "I get defensive over my city. I'm like, 'This is where I'm from and there are a lot of great things.' It's a matter of changing your perspective of where we are. Go take a walk in a neighborhood you've never been in before; see new things and opportunities."
Instagram is a social media site where users can post photographs or videos and also share them to Facebook, Tumblr or Twitter.
The club started five weeks ago but the tightknit community of members has been meeting at what's been dubbed "Instameets" around the city for a couple of months. Jones, who has more than 21,000 followers on his Instagram handle @ohsnapjeff, started a page and organized the meetings and the Instagram community club grew from there.
The Toledo Instagrammers — who mostly use their iPhones or Android phones to snap shots — have taken pictures of the Toledo Museum of Art, Oak Openings Preserve Metropark, Veterans' Glass City Skyway bridge and the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Plaza.
Teacher Eric Ward, known on Instagram as @littlecoal, is one of the heavy hitters, with more than 61,000 followers and more than 2,400 photos. The fourth-grade teacher for Eastwood Local Schools and father of three has collaborations on Instagram with people in Spain, France, the Netherlands, Singapore and the Philippines. Friends from Detroit and Columbus have checked out his site and paid a visit to see the Toledo of his photographs.
"For me, it's a way … to show Toledo to people from around the world," Ward said. "With the reach Instagram has, [allowing] people to see Toledo in a light that people go, 'Wow, I didn't know that was here.' For us to … say, 'Look at the treasures we have here.' … We've fallen in love with Oak Openings. Some places out there are just incredible."
Ward and the group of Instagrammers often meet up to take pictures at a venue and then go grab a cup of coffee or a sandwich after. While they may come from different walks of life, they have some things in common like social awareness, a love of nature and an appreciation for handcrafted items, said Instagrammer Kerri Varner, a professional photographer and mother of six.
Varner, who moved to Toledo after living most of her life in southeast Michigan, likes to explore her Old Orchard neighborhood and the University of Toledo with her camera.
Her connections to the @IGers_Toledo group have made her life in Toledo exciting and a joy, she said.
"[The Instagrammers] are good at their craft and have good taste in businesses and want to know small businesses in Toledo," said Varner, who posts as @bleuinlove. "They care about things like the Downtown area and residences. And that is very meaningful to me."
Graphic Designer Ben Morales, an amateur photographer who gave a TEDxToledo talk on his "re-photography" project last fall, has photographed at least five Metroparks for his Instragram page, @benmorales.
"I love to walk my dog after work. That's why I initially started going. And then I was amazed by the beauty. I wanted to explore them and go to every park in the region," Morales said. "Every park has its own unique feel.
"Instagram has been an amazing outlet for me," he said. "Connecting with a community and connecting with Instagrammers around the world — it's very exciting and I enjoy every minute of it. A lot of big cities have these IG photo clubs and so I'm glad we have that in Toledo now."
The club plans to focus not just on Downtown but on outlying communities, including Perrysburg, Maumee, Rossford and Sylvania, said co-founder Brandt Chapman of Perrysburg. He said they're just trying to make people more aware of the area — that there's so much to see but people may not be taking the time to look.
"There's so much out there. I don't know if people [just] aren't seeing it," said Chapman, whose Instagram handle is @brant5. "We're just trying to advertise our city and show people how beautiful it is and get the word out there. Our main focus is to make a community out of [Instagram]."
Three people showed up at the club's first Instameet, then five to the next and then about 25 came to the Peristyle at the Toledo Museum of Art. The most recent meeting was at the Main Library Downtown. The group also held a contest to recognize their work and are in the beginning stages of teaming up with other businesses to advertise. The @IGers_Toledo page has more than 1,600 followers, Brandt said.
The Instagrammers have been in contact with people in Indianapolis, Cleveland and Cincinnati who want to visit based on seeing their Instagram pages. Many of them have come to Toledo for an Instameet.
"I can understand people who want to get to a better climate, but it's the people who call this place home and then bad-mouth it. It's so frustrating," Jones said. "I love Toledo. I love Northwest Ohio. We're trying to raise the bar. This is our city, we're here and let's just love where we are."

Our kick-off event took place in September and was designed to start the conversation across all areas of the legal market on how our industry must change, and how we must plan for the future.

She first provided the audience with an overview of the state of the legal market, how entirely new ways of providing legal services are emerging, and why changes must be made.

Steven Harper's The Lawyer Bubble
April 16, 2014
In the spring, the YLS hosted an interactive and thought provoking program with Steven J. Harper, the author of The Lawyer Bubble: A Profession in Crisis. In The Lawyer Bubble, lawyer and law professor Steven J. Harper investigates how the legal profession arrived at this crisis. He indicts the widespread fixation on rankings, the bottomless greed of equity partners, and the abdication of responsibility by law-industry leaders. In this meticulously researched and passionately argued book, Harper exposes dirty secrets behind the legal profession's malaise and explains what steps can be taken to repair the damage before it's too late as well as what it means for new lawyers entering the profession and strategies for succeeding in this environment. After the program a reception and book signing was held.

What do you think of the
Vittoria Ultralite Tube
? Share a...
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
The best tube!! I like very much!
I rode mor than 1000 miles and still good! No flat tire!
Scott S
Says here these Vittoria tubes are spec'd for 19-23mm tire width. Is anyone using them with a slightly wider rim (e.g. HED Ardennes) and 25mm tire combination? Any problems with this?
No flats
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Installed these tubes in both wheels along with new tires and new rim tapes. 500+ miles now and they are holding up very well with no flats and no significant leakage. I used my bike for both daily commutes and long road trips.
Brooklynn Grey
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
These tubes have done me well. They pumped up good and are still going strong! I am very happy with these!
I got some of these and the cores don't...
I got some of these and the cores don't seem removable to me. I'm I missing something? Not twisting hard enough? (normally tubes w/ removable valve corse have flat sides on the threading, which these don't appear to have).
Trevor J
The Vittoria Ultralite Tube comes in two models; a 42mm Presta threaded non-removable core (85 grams) or a 51mm Presta smooth valve removable valve core (90 grams). With the 51mm removable core, there should be a flat side on the threading for easy removal of the core, though for the first removal can be a little troublesome.
little annoying that isn't part of the description. Not that big of a deal though. just need to return the extenders I bought.
Confirmed weight
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Scale weight 90g for the 51mm

Ultralite Tubes
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
If you are worrying about the weight of your tubes, then you are a weight weenie. Great non latex race tube.
They hold up well!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
These tubes hold great air presure....I use mine with the Vittoria training tires shown in the picture.They have held up well /average life depends on the road you travel.
Ian Matteson
My Go To Tube
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
These bad boys are a reasonable price and hold up well if you know what you are doing. At one point I was ridding about 60-80 miles per week and a single tube inflated and installed properly lasted well over a month! Make sure you get tires that can hold a higher PSI because these bad boys run perfectly at 125 psi!
Alyssa Forrest
All you need
- Gender: Female
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I've had a cutter bones with Fyxation Session Dual Compound Tires for 3 years now and have only used these tubes to support my ride. They are all you need in a tube. Great price, durable, and light. They are easy to install and fill. Recommended for anyone looking for a reliable commuter/bar bike.
Valve cores not removable.
Title says it all. Probably OK if you don't need that.
T Rex
Only the 51 mm version has a removable valve core.
Brad C.
What i really enjoy about these is the option of the longer valve at 51mm. Super easy to use with a floor pump or hand pump!
light and strong
I have these in my mavic ksyrium equipe wheelset, running mavic tires over them with about 1,800 miles on the set currently. I run them at 110-116psi. Have hit some gargantuan potholes, ran over glass, etc, in the time I've had these on and never had a flat. Within a day or two of pumping them up they tend to "leak" down to about 85psi and stay there. I check tire pressure and inflate before every ride as a habit, so I dont mind that. after having bontrager tires blow out for no apparent reason on me, I'm a fan of these.

Works well
- Gender: Male
Lightweight, easy to pack, and offers a good road feel instead of going latex.

Pretty excellent.
I have ridden on Continental tubes and they were pretty solid. These guys are way cheaper and function just as well .

Still Holding Air
What can you really say about a tube if it is working? They hold air, they have been holding air for awhile now.
I have them mated with some Michelin PRO4 Service Course tires and I am very pleased with the ride quality up to this point.

very bad tubes
Two flats within 15 kms. pinch flats, slow leaks , the works! easily susceptible to damage when fitting, puncture resistance =
000.0000! Never go on a wet road with these on;
surely there are better tubes out there.
No wonder 90% of bike shops in my town stock these in copious amounts; they're good disposable earners, good turnover! they are C.R.A.P!

Perfect everyday tube
These are cheap and work great. Perfect tube to stock up on for training and commuting but if you're literally counting grams for race day there are lighter and pricier options out there.

Decent Tubes
I bought three of these for my wife about a month ago and so far we've only had issues with one. After patching a hole in it, a couple days later found out it had a slow leak and when we took the tube off, it was clearly warped and leaking where it was warped. Other than that, cheap tubes that keep air in your tire.
