text:
"Therefore, brethren, we are debtors." Romans 8:12
Suggested Further Reading: Luke 7:36-50
Christian, stop and ponder for a moment! What a debtor thou art to divine sovereignty! Thou art not as some, who say, that thou didst choose thyself to be saved; but thou believest that God could have destroyed thee, if he had pleased, and that it is entirely of his own good pleasure that thou art made one of his, while others are suffered to perish. Consider, then, how much thou owest to his sovereignty! If he had willed it, thou wouldst have been among the damned; if he had not willed thy salvation, all thou couldst do would have been utterly powerless to deliver thee from perdition. Remember how much thou owest to his disinterested love, which rent his own Son from his bosom that he might die for thee! Let the cross and bloody sweat remind thee of thine obligation. Consider how much thou owest to his forgiving grace, that after ten thousand affronts he loves thee as infinitely as ever; and after a myriad sins, his Spirit still resides within thee. Consider what thou owest to his power; how he has raised thee from thy death in sin; how he has preserved thy spiritual life, how he has kept thee from falling, and how, though a thousand enemies have beset thy path, thou hast been able to hold on thy way! Consider what thou owest to his immutability. Though thou hast changed a thousand times, he has not changed once; though thou hast shifted thy intentions, and thy will, yet has he not once swerved from his eternal purpose, but still has held thee fast. Consider thou art as deep in debt as thou canst be to every attribute of God. To God thou owest thyself, and all thou hast. "Brethren, we are debtors."
For meditation: The reasonable response to forgiven debt is love to God and to one another, but we will always be in debt (Romans 13:8).
Sermon no. 96
11 August (Preached 10 August 1856)

I was pretty upset that the large was so small. I actually had to re-order it in a 2XL in order for it to fit! As for the art work, it is absolutely beautiful! I was proud to say that I was the only person I saw at the Ed Sheeran concert that was wearing that shirt and I got quite a few compliments! They told me in order to get a refund for the first shirt, I could send photographic proof that I had destroyed it, rather than shipping it back. I would've loved to have gotten my $35 refunded but I just couldn't bring myself to cut it up so I now have a shirt I can wear and one that's way too small. I'm sort of bummed about that but I am happy with the design of the shirt!

A blocked punt for a touchdown and an extra point return for two points highlighted the Hope football team's 47-14 rout of previously unbeaten Olivet on Saturday.
The Flying Dutchmen spoiled their Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) foe's homecoming while improving to 4-2 overall and evening their league record at 1-1.
Sophomore Augie Mata of Holland (West Ottawa HS) returned a blocked punt 60 yards for a touchdown four minutes into the game that gave Hope a 14-0 lead. Mata also had a game-high eight tackles.
The play came seven plays after the Flying Dutchmen scored on an 11-yard touchdown run from senior Shawn Jackson of Comstock Park (Comstock Park HS).
Alma then fumbled the kickoff, and Hope freshman Zach Boersema of Holland (West Ottawa HS) recovered it at the Scots 12-yard line. Two plays later, senior quarterback Michael Atwell hooked up with senior receiver Vincent Boddy of West Bloomfield (West Bloomfield HS) for a 16-yard touchdown and a 21-0 Hope lead just 5:04 into the game.
After Olivet (5-1, 1-1 MIAA) scored a touchdown, Hope blocked the Comets' PAT. Junior Kirby Crook took it back 98 yards for two points and a 23-6 Hope lead.
The Flying Dutchmen tacked on a 1-yard touchdown run from junior fullback Bill Brown of Lawton (Lawton HS) and Boddy on a 29-yard pass from Jackson to extend their lead to 37-14 by halftime.
Jackson rushed for 104 yards and two touchdowns on 20 carries. He had an 18-yard touchdown run in the third quarter.
Boddy finished with a team-high 131 receiving yards on a game-high six catches. Atwell completed 14-of-23 passes for 247 yards and one touchdown.
Hope also snapped a two-game losing streak.
The Flying Dutchmen return to action on Saturday, Oct. 19, when they travel to Alma in MIAA action. Kickoff is 1 p.m.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - For the second time in his career, MIT senior Luke Cummings was named New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) Men's Swimmer of the Week.
In the final home meet of his career, the native of Kinigston, R.I. led the Engineers with three wins as the No. 5 Cardinal and Gray defeated No. 16 Amherst College 174-124 last Saturday afternoon. The senior started the day as anchor of Tech's winning 200 Medley Relay (1:33.78). Cummings went on to win the 50 Free (20.71) and 100 Free (46.25); both were NCAA B-cut times. With the win, the MIT men closed their dual-meet schedule at 8-0, notching their second-consecutive undefeated season.

Verizon is expected to announce the Motorola Droid RAZR HD on September 5th, so it's no surprise that more leaks are appearing as we near its launch. Tonight a series of five tutorial videos appeared on YouTube that feature the Motorola XT926 (aka RAZR HD).
None of the specs were confirmed in the video, but we have a pretty good idea of what is inside this phone. The RAZR HD is rumored to feature a 4.6 inch 1196 x 720 HD display, 1.5 GHz dual-core Snapdragon S4 processor, 8 megapixel rear camera, and 2530 mAh battery.
This would place the RAZR HD up against the Samsung Galaxy S III in Verizon's lineup. Both phones have similar specs, but the RAZR should offer longer usage times thanks to its high capacity 2530 mAh battery and Motorola's Smart Actions software.
Check out the video below to get a glimpse of the RAZR HD and head over to YouTube if you want to watch the other tutorials. If you are on Verizon, let us know if this device might land in your pocket.

�The cross of peace is the burden of the courageous,� President Amine Gemayel of Lebanon cabled President Reagan on April 18, 1983, shortly after the U.S. Embassy was nearly destroyed by a suicide terrorist and his truck bomb.
�The cross of peace is the burden of the courageous,� President Amine Gemayel of Lebanon cabled President Reagan on April 18, 1983, shortly after the U.S. Embassy was nearly destroyed by a suicide terrorist and his truck bomb. The bombing killed 63 people, including 17 Americans.
America�s burden � and its courageousness � would be tested again just six months later on Oct. 23, 1983. The U.S. Marine Barracks set up in a large abandoned office building at Beirut International Airport to house Battalion Landing Team 1/8 and its reinforcements, part of the multinational peacekeeping force, was bombed, along with minutes later the barracks housing members of the French 1st Parachute Chasseur Regiment, also a unit of the peacekeeping force.
Two-hundred and twenty Marines, 18 sailors and three soldiers were killed in the Marine Barracks bombing and 58 paratroopers in the French barracks bombing: a total of 299 Americans and French were killed. Another 128 Americans and 15 paratroopers were injured in the attack.
The attacks ultimately led to the withdrawal of the peacekeeping force, in hindsight some argue, wrongly. Because of their success (from the terrorist�s perspective), these attacks are seen by many to be the beginning of the spate of terrorist attacks against America, culminating in 9/11.
But while politicians, diplomats, and historians may debate the cause and effect of such events, there were � and are � smaller and less consequential roles to be played. My part in Beirut in 1983 was one such inconsequential role. Wednesday�s 30th anniversary of the bombings was more personal for me than politics, diplomacy, and history. Though my role was small, these recollections are intended to honor those who gave their last full measure in support and defense of the United States of America 30 years ago.
On April 18, 1983, I was assigned as a Marine helicopter pilot aboard the USS Guadalcanal, LPH-7, just off the coast of Beirut. I had finished noon chow in the officers� mess and was making my way topside to preflight my aircraft when the 19,000-ton helicopter carrier rumbled and shook as the 1 p.m. terrorist explosion tore through the U.S. Embassy.
That an aircraft carrier at sea miles from the embassy could be moved is testament to the power of the blast. I sometimes wonder whether the ship�s shudder was an anthropomorphic response to this new terrorist tactic that would lead to 9/11.
In the midst of my prefight only a half hour later, general quarters and then flight quarters were sounded and my crew and I were quickly launched off the carrier�s flight deck and directed by the helicopter direction center to proceed to the U.S. Embassy for medevac.
Loaded with wounded embassy staff on makeshift stretchers, I vividly remember the pungent odor of burnt flesh and death permeating our aircraft after we took off from the field expedient landing zone. The LZ had been swept clean and quickly cordoned off on the boulevard next to the East German Embassy adjacent to the remains of the U.S. Embassy.
My squadron mates and I made several runs from the Guadalcanal to the embassy and back to the ship that day. Of course, our role was little compared to those from my sister squadron who six months later performed similar medevac duties for BLT 1/8 to the USS Iwo Jima, LPH-2, after the Marine barracks bombing.
By that time, I had returned home to the United States to the warm embrace of family and friends and, like most Americans, watched in horror from afar as the Marine barracks bombing events unfolded. We mourned the loss of our brothers in arms, fellow Marines, sailors, and soldiers, and friends from thousands of miles away.
The U.S. Embassy bombing had been forgotten in the midst of the far more horrific Marine barracks bombing. Less than a year later, no longer politically and diplomatically sustainable, the peacekeeping force was folded and the final U.S. Marine was pulled out of Beirut in July, 1984.
But not before a close friend was killed in the death throes of the multinational force. The last Marine killed in Beirut, a Marine�s Marine, a consummate Marine officer, was Capt. Al Butler, who sacrificed his life for America and its ideals in Beirut on Feb. 9, 1984. The COST of peace is the burden of the courageous.
I hesitantly approached the door of his home the day Capt. Butler�s death was reported. What would ... what could ... what should ... I say? His eldest son, 5 years old then and now a decorated Marine himself, answered the door. �My daddy is dead,� he said looking up at me with tears in his big eyes.
�I know buddy,� I said as I picked him up and hugged him hiding my own tears. �I know.�

Get an alert when new Duran Duran dates are announced
Formed in Birmingham, England, in 1978, pop megastars Duran Duran are one of the most culturally influential and commercially successful bands of all time, topping the charts around the world over the past three decades and selling more than 100 million records worldwide.
After acrimonious splits, Simon Le Bon and Nick Rhodes relaunched the band in the mid-90s and the band continued to be successful. 2003 saw the group reform with Simon Le Bon, John Taylor, Nick Rhodes and Roger Taylor, and the reaction proved their fan base is as huge as ever.
The band has been honoured with multiple Grammy, BRIT, Ivor Novello, and MTV Video Music Lifetime Achievement Awards, as well as a 20th Century Style Icon award from the City of Milan. Tireless innovators, they are always at the vanguard of music, fashion, art, technology and film — a group with unique and everlasting appeal.
Now a seemingly unstoppable force, with no fewer than five prestigious Lifetime Achievement Awards under their belts, the four original members of Duran Duran are in a category with only a handful of other internationally acclaimed artists.

About Rhiadon
Sounds a lot like Peter and Valentine's activities in Ender's Game to influence world politics by creating personas in the net. Peter and Valentine however were the product of apparent eugenics and brilliant. Mr. Goldberg is probably not the product of eugenics. His brilliance could be disputed.
Amazingly, I've had positive experiences with both Charter and Brighthouse. Charter in the Holland, MI area and Brighthouse in Marion, IN. Both places I only had internet. Both places were quite responsive when things would go wrong, and things didn't go wrong very often. I'm especially impressed with Charter's pricing. Sure it's no gigabit for $70/month, but 60 Mbps for $40/month is a pretty good price and consistently I get slightly over the stated rate. Brighthouse was more expensive ($75/month) but the service quality was just as good.
That being said, I don't see how acquiring TWC will make them better, just larger.
It OBVIOUSLY is failing because nobody wants streaming music.
This is how Sheriff Walt Longmire of Absaroka County can get himself a new Ford Bronco after he flipped his old one.
What she seems to have done is to ironically set her self up as her own middleman for those people who would like to purchase her book from Amazon.
This ruling OBVIOUSLY forces parents to go out and immediately buy all the super violent video games for their children and allow them to play those games unsupervised. Parents now have no rights regarding the raising of their children and must allow them to become serial murderers and talk in movie theaters.
And just in case it wasn't OBVIOUS, I'm being sarcastic.
I'll concede that many of his activities were "crackpottish" to coin a phrase. On further thought, I'll agree with Mike's statement that he appears to be a *bit* (emphasis mine) of a crackpot. Not all of his behavior is that of a crackpot however in my opinion. The going limp when being placed under arrest is arguably a form of non-violent civil disobedience. The other stuff, yeah, I'd probably think he was being nutty if I saw it.
I'm somewhat familiar with Julian's activities because of certain political leanings I have. That's as much disclosure as I feel I need to reveal at this time...
Now, calling him a crackpot is a bit unfair in my opinion. He's participating in civil disobedience. The police come to arrest him, he does not aid them in his capture but neither does he actively resist. Of course not actively assisting is construed as resisting but that's another issue. Anyway, calling him a crackpot it seems rational to call Gandhi a crackpot as well.
Maybe I'm being nit-picky.
I'm glad you pointed that out. Thanks.
If I recall correctly, some (maybe most, I dunno) of the framers of the Constitution took issue with a Bill of Rights because they didn't feel that rights needed to be codified because they were not granted by the government, but by God (or nature or the Flying Spaghetti monster if you prefer). The 10th Amendment came from this to essentially state there are many other rights that we didn't talk about here, you still have those too.
At least this has been my understanding.
It seems like there is a vein running through many of the comments that Jury Nullification runs the risk of nullifying murder laws. While I think this *is* technically a risk, it seems very improbably that a jury of 12 rational human beings would think that laws prohibiting taking the life of another human being are unjust and must be nullified. Same with rape or any other natural crime that possesses a clear victim upon whom harm has been committed.
Who knows though. I might be able to conceive of a few situation where this could happen involving certain radical sets of people, but what is the probability that 12 of these people would get on the same jury? Probably low?
From what I understand, FIJA seems to be working to help prevent convictions for crimes that are victimless and therefore unjust. Thinks like prohibition of alcohol and drugs. There goals may be more general than that, but that seems to be the basic direction.
Are rights granted by the Constitution or are they codified by the Constitution? This is not intended to be a rhetorical question. I have my opinion and that is rights are granted by natural law, not by a piece of paper. It just so happens that the Constitution mostly agrees with what I see as natural law.
In the following sentences I will be making sweeping generalities to illustrate a point.
This seems to be exactly why FIJA hands out these pamphlets. People tend to be programmed to follow authority and instructions, regardless of how egregious those instructions may be (see the wiki on the Milgram Experiment). If the jurors are told by the authority in the room (The guy wearing the costume behind the big desk) that they have to decide based on the law, then they will do that.
Jury Nullification isn't explicitly stated as a right anywhere that I'm aware of but neither is is prohibited. This seems apparent from the citation provided by an earlier poster. Do you have the right to breathe? (I know it's a straw man, but it seems illustrative)

WASHINGTON—In a decision that experts say could have far-reaching implications on campus security nationwide, an administrative law judge at the Department of Education has ruled that Virginia Tech was not in violation of the Clery Act for not sending a timely warning to the campus community in the early hours of the 2007 shooting that left 32 dead. The judge also dismissed a $55,000 civil penalty the DOE levied on Virginia Tech for the alleged violations.

CHICAGO – Several politically connected Illinois judges have been appointed to judgeships after losing elections or dropping out of races, according to a report Sunday.
The Illinois Supreme Court appointed seven judges to the Cook County court system after they were rejected by voters, according to a story published Sunday in the Chicago Tribune.
Five Democrats who lost in March have been appointed to judicial posts since then.
The other two have been appointed in the past six years.
It's a controversial practice that the state's highest court has previously vowed to end.
However, the newspaper documented several instances of the practice continuing. In one case, an appointed judge gave more than $20,000 to the Cook County Democratic Party.
Others had ties to powerful Chicago Democrats. The high court also reappointed three judges who dropped out of judicial races.
A spokesman for the Illinois Supreme Court defended the appointments.
"The appointment of qualified candidates who already have some experience as a judge – even if though they may have lost a primary election – can be a useful way to replenish the bench with proven judicial talent until voters have another chance to choose in the next election," said spokesman Joseph Tybor.
But critics argue that the court's penchant for keeping nonelected judges on the bench lacks openness and could circumvent the will of voters.
"The Supreme Court should be less of a black box so you have an idea how they decide who should be a judge," David Morrison, deputy director of the Illinois Campaign for Political Reform, told the Tribune. "Certainly, party affiliation and political donations should not be a factor. The point should be to find the most qualified and skilled lawyers to be on the bench."
The Illinois' Constitution provides the state supreme court the power to appoint judges to the bench when a public need is determined, such as after a retirement or death.
The high court pledged to end the so-called recall appointments when the Chicago Council of Lawyers threatened to sue in 1993. It made a similar commitment last year.

Sochi's pre-Olympic dog crisis brought the world's pet overpopulation problem to the forefront of people's minds. Neutering is not a cultural norm in Russia, exacerbating stray dog numbers to uncontrollable levels. Many countries have had success with Trap Neuter Release (TNR) programs in reducing stray pet numbers over time, but not all communities have the resources needed to implement TNR. Surgery is expensive and comes with the complications of any medical procedure. Neutering also faces a hurdle with Individuals who sometimes see it as unnatural or emasculating.
However, we could be entering a new era. On Monday, a vaccine started shipping that many animal welfare people are calling a game changer in lowering stray dog populations worldwide. Zeuterin is the first ever FDA-approved injectable sterilization compound. The vaccine sterilizes a male dog for life with one shot.
With Zeutrin five dogs can be sterilized for the cost and time it takes to surgically sterilize one dog. According to the manufacturer, Ark Sciences, the vaccine is five time safer than surgery. Zeutrin has a simple composition of sterile water, the trace element Zinc Gluconate, and the amino acid Arginine. All of these ingredients are required for the body, and no preservatives are needed.
At the moment Ark Sciences has regulatory approval in Panama, Bolivia, Columbia, Mexico, and the United States. They envision full adoption in the United States by the year 2020.
Besides the low cost and ease of this surgical alternative, there is another potential benefit to the vaccine. Dogs sterilized with Zeutrin retain about 50 percent of their testosterone levels. This is beneficial considering that recent studies have shown possible negative effects from eliminating sex hormones, particularly before full maturation.
Last weekend a group of volunteer veterinarians held a "Zeuterathon" in Los Angeles. Approximately 75 male dogs of all ages were sterilized in the span of a few hours. The suggested donation was $20.
While reading about Zeutrin, I came across a sad statistic that really drove home the overpopulation problem: only one out of every ten dogs born will find a permanent home. I hope that Zeutrin will be a major step in reversing the numbers of the overpopulation problem.

Avoiding IO
From HaskellWiki
Haskell requires an explicit type for operations involving input and output. This way it makes a problem explicit, that exists in every language: Input and output functions can have so many effects, that the type signature says more or less that almost everything must be expected. It is hard to test them, because they can in principle depend on every state of the real world. Thus in order to maintain modularity you should avoid IO wherever possible.It is too tempting to get rid of IO by
1 Lazy construction
You can avoid a series of output functions by constructing a complex data structure with non-IO code and output it with one output function.
Instead of
-- import Control.Monad (replicateM_) replicateM_ 10 (putStr "foo")
putStr (concat $ replicate 10 "foo")
do h <- openFile "foo" WriteMode replicateM_ 10 (hPutStr h "bar") hClose h
can be shortened to
writeFile "foo" (concat $ replicate 10 "bar")
2 Writer monad
If the only reason that you need IO is to output information (e.g. logging, collecting statistics), a Writer monad might do the job. This technique works just fine with lazy construction, especially if the lazy object that you need to create is a Monoid.
An inefficient example of logging:
logText :: (MonadWriter String m) => String -> m () logText text = tell (text ++ "\n") do logText "Before operation A" opA logText "After operation A"
3 State monadIf you want to maintain a running state, it is tempting to use
Another example is random number generation. In cases where no real random numbers are required, but only arbitrary numbers, you do not need access to the outside world. You can simply use a pseudo random number generator with an explicit state. This state can be hidden in a State monad.Example: A function which computes a random value with respect to a custom distribution (
randomDist :: (Random a, Num a) => (a -> a) -> IO a randomDist distInv = liftM distInv (randomRIO (0,1))
but there is no need to do so.
You don't need the state of the whole world just for remembering the state of a random number generator, instead you can use something similar to this:
randomDist :: (RandomGen g, Random a, Num a) => (a -> a) -> State g a randomDist distInv = liftM distInv (State (randomR (0,1)))
evalState (randomDist distInv) (mkStdGen an_arbitrary_seed)
4 ST monad
In some cases a state monad is simply not efficient enough. Say the state is an array and the update operations are modification of single array elements.For this kind of application the State Thread monad
You can escape from ST to non-monadic code in a safe, and in many cases efficient, way.
5 Applicative functor style
Say you have written the function
translate :: String -> IO String translate word = do dict <- readDictionary "english-german.dict" return (Map.findWithDefault word word dict)
You can only call this function within the IO monad, and it is not very efficient either, since for every translation the dictionary must be read from disk. You can rewrite this function in a way that it generates a non-monadic function that can be used anywhere.
makeTranslator :: IO (String -> String) makeTranslator = do dict <- readDictionary "english-german.dict" return (\word -> Map.findWithDefault word word dict) main :: IO () main = do translate <- makeTranslator putStr (unlines (map translate ["foo", "bar"]))
makeTranslator <*> getLine
6 Custom monad type class
If you only use a small set of IO operations in otherwise non-IO code you may define a custom monad type class which implements just these functions. You can then implement these functions based on IO for the application and without IO for the test suite.
As an example consider the function
localeTextIO :: String -> IO String
which converts an English phrase to the currently configured user language of the system.You can abstract the
class Monad m => Locale m where localeText :: String -> m String instance Locale IO where localeText = localeTextIO instance Locale Identity where localeText = Identity
where the first instance can be used for the application and the second one for "dry" tests.For more sophisticated tests, you may load a dictionary into a
newtype Interpreter a = Interpreter (Reader (Map String String) a) instance Locale Interpreter where localeText text = Interpreter $ fmap (Map.findWithDefault text text) ask

About a boy
I suggest a local upcoming toy swap for the video games; a trip to the used bookstore for a trade on the books. These, I know, will grant him a better return on his items than a yard sale. But, no, he insists. He doesn't want to trade for new toys, new games, new books. He wants to earn money. He wants to earn money to give to me. He wants to help pay the mortgage, buy the groceries. "I am a part of this family. I am a part of this house," he proclaims. "I want to help."
I gaze at him, amazed. My eyes drip tears into the cooking pasta. I can't speak, so I wrap my arms around him and mumble unintelligible love into his ear.
I try to gently talk him out of the yard sale all night, careful not to hurt his feelings with what might appear to be an unappreciative refusal of his offer. I try to guide him into other, more appropriate ways he can help: cutting back on wasted food by eating what's on his plate without complaint, calming my stress levels by picking up after himself, remembering to turn out the lights when he leaves a room.
But The Kid is determined. "This is my mission," he tells me."This is the only way I know how to help. And I'll be bummed if no one buys this stuff, or if I can't make enough money, because I do not want to fail you."
How do I tell him that the pile of possessions he's volunteered to sell represents so much more than the $2 he's likely to earn at a yard sale? How do I tell him that I can't possibly accept his earnest offer? How do I tell him how much the gesture is appreciated? How do I tell him how proud I am of him? How do I tell him how much he warms, and simultaneously breaks, my heart?
As many of you already know, I lost my job yesterday. I work(ed) for a small company; one with little in the way of benefits. I was completing month three of my unpaid maternity leave, scheduled to return to work in early December. The Boss called yesterday and told me not to bother coming back. He's decided that the woman I trained to cover my position in my absence is a better fit for the company, and sees this as "an opportunity for a smooth transition." There are many things I could say about the circumstances surrounding my termination, like how much they suck balls, but I'll save that rant for another post.
Because this post isn't about me. It isn't about my lost job, or my former boss, or my financial worries and woes, or how in god's name I'm going to get by. This post is about the miraculous little boy who lives at the end of my hallway. The one who continually surprises and impresses and humbles me. The one who has given me so much more than I deserve in this life. This post is about him.

Ugh. Sorry to hear about your job loss, but you are so very, very wonderfully lucky to have such a special wonderful boy.
- ChopperPapa said...
Sorry to hear about the job, as a manager myself, the way due handled that is extremely uncool, very unethical, rather cowardly, and maybe not so legal.
Great kid! Good for him and you.
- T said...
Wow. What an amazing child/little man you have raised there!!
Sorry to hear about the job loss but girl... you got this. With that much love in your house, you can make it through ANYTHING.
- cassee01 said...
I don't think that is legal
- Shannon said...
I'm coming out of lurkdom because, wow...what a touching story about your son. He's an amazing kid!
And that really sucks about your job. I'm sorry to hear that...is it even legal?
- Sunny said...
Wow. Just wow. This is the most amazing story that I've heard. You have a very special boy.
Sorry about the job. I lost my job on maternity leave as well. Nothing like a little more chaos in your life to spice things up, eh?
I work for an employment law firm and the consensus is that it probably isn't legal. You might consider meeting with an attorney...if it's worth it to you.
- Kalista said...
Hi Kellee - I think you know some lawyers ;) You might give someone a call and just run the basics by them. Given that your former employer is likely less than 20 employees, the FMLA probably doesn't apply to them - but that doesn't mean they are without obligation to you whatsoever. Still, it couldn't hurt to call ...
And for what it's worth, I'll never steer my company's business in their direction after this.
- Richard said...
Kellee, so sorry to hear about the job loss.
- Martini Mom said...
I do know a goodly amount of lawyers, and I will be talking to someone about this before I sign the termination agreement. That said, I'm not looking for a fight. It's not my style. I mainly want to make sure that there's nothing in the agreement that shouldn't be, and nothing left out of the agreement that should've been included. In my former employer's defense (though I don't feel much like defending him right now, but that's because I'm still pissed off and panicky and emotional about the whole thing, not because I think there was any malicious wrong-doing), a severance package was offered, though I'm not at liberty to discuss its details.
Thank you all for your words of concern and encouragement. We'll find our way through this one way or the other, and things will be better on the other side.
- Nicki said...
When my kids do amazing things like this, I cry, too. I know you're struggling, but somehow things will work out. They always do. And you are so talented that you'll think of something.
I'm rooting for you.
Think of this as an opportunity for a new chapter in your life. Do what you really want to do.
- ThisMamaThing said...
I know this post is old, but I'm visiting via last night's #commenthour, and it made me tear up hardcore. Such a sweet kiddo.
- Martini Mom said...
@ThisMamaThing: Thanks so much for stopping by. He really is a truly amazing kid. I'm very lucky (though I like to think I deserve at least a tiny bit of credit for his awesomeness).

Winter Freeze Damage to Fruit Trees
About 10 days ago we had a dramatic visit from "Old Man Winter" which was quite unlike anything I have experienced in recent winters. Many winters give us a few nights of just below freezing for brief periods of time but this time we got four consecutive nights of temperatures below 20 degrees. One night this temperature lasted for over 8 hours. I have several good fruit trees planted around the back of my house. One is a nice white grapefruit; one is a pink navel orange (Cara Cara), one is a qumquat; two natural colored navel oranges; one Meyer Lemon tree and two recently planted pomelo (Chinese grapefruit) and some muscadine grape vines. The grape vines love the cold and will flourish after spring but my citrus trees just did not handle the cold very well.
Yesterday I picked all the fruit which remained on the trees and threw it into the woods behind my house for the varmints such as raccoon, possum, and foxes. We had harvested most of the oranges and juiced them for some yummy fresh OJ.
Now we just have to water these trees and wait for spring to see if they come out of their severe damage. Upon examination of the wood in the limbs I found only a few which seems to be damaged by bark splitting. I will probably have to begin pruning back the bad wood soon and wait with hope for restored greening of the other limbs. I doubt I will see many blossoms on any trees. The qumquat tree seems to have been totally killed so will probably cut it down and dig up the roots. I might plant something that is more "cold weather hardy".
Here are some pictures so you can see what happened in warm and sunny Florida.

Author Notes: This is inspired by a couple of radicchio salads I've had at "sister" restaurants Toro Bravo and Tasty N Sons in Portland. The both feature a creamy vinaigrette and green olives. The Toro Bravo version uses manchego and the Tasty N Sons version uses parmesan. I can't decide which I prefer so I used a bit of both, but feel free to use the Manchego in the spread as well if you don't want to buy extra cheese. The crackers are tasty in their own right, so feel free to just add them to a cracker and cheese tray. I think they'd also be fabulous topped with some creamy brie and a small slice of persimmon. —hardlikearmour
Makes: about 48 crackers
For the Crackers
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4 oz shredded 4 to 6 month aged manchego cheese
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
12 to 15 castelvetrano olives
1 teaspoon olive brine (or water if you don't have the brine)
Creamy Radicchio Spread & Assembly
8 ounce package cream cheese, softened
1 oz of parmesan or manchego, grated with a microplane
2 teaspoons lemon zest
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup shredded radicchio (see note below)
about a dozen Castelvetrano olives - pits removed and cut into slivers
For the Crackers
- Combine butter, olive oil, and cheese in food processor. Pulse several times, then process until well combined.
- Whisk flour and baking powder together in a small bowl. Transfer to food processor. Pulse for 5 or 6 one second pulses, until mixture looks crumbly.
- Scatter olive pieces and drizzle olive brine over the mixture. Pulse together 3 to 4 times, until no large olive pieces remain. The mixture should still be a bit crumbly in appearance, but should stick together when pressed.
- Transfer the dough to a sheet of waxed paper that is about 18 inches long. Form the dough into a log about 13 to 14 inches long, so it's about 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Roll up in the waxed paper. I like to form a slightly squared cylinder, but you can also leave it round.
- Freeze dough for 25 to 30 minutes, until it's firm but still malleable. (Or refrigerate for at least an hour.)
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment or silicone baking sheet. Heat oven to 350º F.
- Remove dough from waxed paper, and slice into 1/4-inch thick slices. Transfer slices to prepared baking sheet leaving at least 1/2-inch space between slices. (I was able to get the whole batch on one sheet, some did touch after baking but were easily separated.) Dock each cracker twice with a fork (like the dots on a domino).
- Bake for 20 to 22 minutes, until light golden brown and crisp. Rotate the pan 180º after 10 minutes to promote even baking. Transfer pan to cooling rack and allow crackers to cool on the pan. Once cool transfer to a sealable container. Can be made a day ahead.
Creamy Radicchio Spread & Assembly
- Combine cream cheese, parmesan/manchego, lemon zest, and pepper in a medium bowl. Whip with a hand mixer (or by hand with a wooden spoon) until creamy. Fold in the shredded radicchio by hand. (Can be made several hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate, but allow to come to room temperature before assembly.)
- NOTE: To shred the radicchio cut the head lengthwise into quarters, and remove the core. Cut one of the quarters lengthwise into thirds, then cut each third crosswise into thin strips. You will likely need 1 to 2 quarters, depending on the size of your raddichio. Soak the radicchio in ice cold water for 10 to 15 minutes, then drain and spin dry to temper it's bitterness.
- TO ASSEMBLE: Dollop about 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of cheese spread atop each cracker. Cap with a castelvetrano sliver. Serve on a pretty tray with wine, champagne, or the cocktail of your choice.

The Lady Bisons softball team is glad to be home.
Saturday they face Florida Atlantic at Draper Diamond on the Lipscomb campus at 1 p.m. It is the first time the Lady Bisons have been at home since March 16 when they faced IUPUI.
"Coming back home is huge for us," said Lipscomb coach Kristin Peck. "We know we are going to be here the rest of the year. We know what we are dealing with.
"From an injury standpoint is easier to deal with things at home. They can heal a little bit. We will also be in the classroom. They can catch up."
Florida Atlantic (19-21, 6-4 in the A-Sun, is a perennial softball power in the A-Sun.
"They are just a very solid team," said Peck. "They have been a dominant team. They know they have that target on their back.
"They are very well coached. They are a very good hitting team and a very good pitching team. We are hoping to come out and play our game against them."
The Lady Bisons have played five straight conference doubleheaders on the road, with a 3-7 record against Stetson, Campbell, Gardner-Webb, North Florida and Jacksonville. The Lady Bisons are 13-25 overall.
"This has been one of the roughest schedules I have ever been a part of as a player, assistant coach, or coach," said Peck. "We have battled through it. We are dealing with injuries and a shortage of players on top of that."
"When we struggled we ran into some confidence issues. Overall I think it has been frustrating for everybody to be on the road for that long, especially with so many conference games in a row."
Like most things that challenge a team, Peck hopes the stretch of road games makes the Lady Bisons stronger as they head into the stretch run and hopefully a second consecutive berth in the conference tournament.
It was a late surge last season that propelled the Lady Bisons into the A-Sun Tournament.
"Last year the players thought they have something to prove," said Peck. "We haven't had that great of a start. We are trying to prove we are still a very good team. Now that we are back at home the players are feeling like they can finally get into a rhythm. We tend to play better at home anyway."
Injuries have been a constant problem prompting a continuous shuffling of the lineup.
"We haven't had one consistent lineup this year," said Peck. "The players have done a good job adjusting to changes. They have been moved all over the field and through the lineup. They have handled that very well.
"It is just a matter of performing. We are coming through a little bit more in the clutch."
Tuesday the Lady Bisons play a non-conference doubleheader at Draper Diamond against Austin Peay. They finish out the regular season with home conference doubleheaders against Kennesaw State (April 25), Mercer (April 30) and East Tennessee (May 5). They make a short trip to play rival Belmont on April 26 in Nashville.

What does emarketing mean?
Marketing is always a crucial part of any business. In the past, marketing was done physically through fliers, pens, posters and other techniques. However, today electronic marketing, or eMarketing, plays an important role and more consumers turn to the Internet to find out about companies, products and services. eMarketing offers a wide range of options to business such as social media connections, email marketing, mobile marketing or website promotions. Most techniques are more economical for companies because these tools are available online for free. This is best for small business who have a small marketing budget.
Understanding how email marketing relates to your business
One of the most commonly used forms of electronic marketing is email marketing. Customers can sign up at the business or through the company's website to receive email updates about the company. Using email you can reach out to many customers at one time. Not only can you share news about the company with your customers, but you can even share discounts or incentives for joining the mailing list. Offer features that ask the customers to participate such as submitting a comment or photo to win a prize.
How social media can help your e-marketing business
Social media is also a popular form of emarketing. Through websites like Facebook and Twitter, you can inform consumers about your products and services while creating a relationship with customers. Since you can't always be at a computer, use an autoresponder to interact with customers. Not only can you send a generic message through direct message or email, but it's timely and shows you do care about their business. An autoresponder should also be used if you cannot respond immediately to emails.
Emarketing is easy and efficient if you take the time to build and nourish customer relations.

The Bulldogs are coming to a screen near you.
The Bulldogs are coming to a screen near you.
Banks Elementary School students began live morning broadcasts six weeks ago to delve into real-world technology.
Each Friday, a rotating team of fourth graders hosts morning announcements on student television station WKIDZ.
Northeast Elementary School is the only other elementary school in the system that also hosts student broadcasts.
�It�s a great way for the students to be a part of the school and know what�s going on,� said Banks Principal Cynthia Faulkner. �This is something we wanted to get started for the last couple of years.�
The school�s video production room previously was used for media happenings, such as green screening and sound checks, but it�s always been utilized as a production room.
In a room across from the site now designated for the live student announcements, parents are invited to watch on a projection screen.
�It gets them used to the technology out there,� said parent Nikki Scott. �It gets them used to public speaking in front of other people.�
Scott�s 9-year-old son Nikolas Scott opened and closed the 20-minute morning announcements on Friday, hosting with two other fourth-graders, Jessica Riggs and Kamryn Sutton, both 10.
�My favorite part is telling people all over the school what�s happening and how things are going to flow,� said Riggs after she read her assigned parts of the broadcast, which included calendar activities called �Bulldog Bits.�
Opening with the standard Pledge of Allegiance, the announcements touched on birthdays, breaking news and weather.
�We highlight relevant information for them,� said fourth-grade teacher Caren McCarter. �We�re trying to move (students) forward with technology so they can see how live news occurs and how it changes.�
The students used an Apple iPad to read the weather and call up sound bytes between items related to Lenoir County�s Positive Behavior Intervention and Support initiative and �Did You Know?� segments. The latter highlighted Martin Luther King Jr. Day since it was the most recent holiday.
�I think (the announcements) are important because, like with �Did You Know?�, you learn stuff you never learned before,� said Fendi Jones, 9, who read a section about King.
Vraj Shah, 10, read a selection on self-discipline to align with PBIS efforts.
�I think it�s important because it shows everybody how to behave and what self-discipline is,� he said. �You should always be a solution, not the problem.�
The student team seemed to have no pressure issues brought on by the live newscast.
�They�re learning how to talk on the fly and to adjust and keep going,� said Ashley Hood, Banks technology teacher. �Part of our standards is literacy through speaking, so this definitely helps them feel comfortable.�
The broadcast team meets Thursdays to run through the announcements. The broadcasts began with the fourth-graders but now incorporate every grade level by alternating Pledge of Allegiance leaders and highlighting recent student achievements on the air.
Some Banks teachers have noticed the need for a new microphone and tripod while they are working to eventually post each cast online.
�I am very proud of them,� Faulkner said of her students and staff. �It�s a great way for students to be a part of the school and know what�s going on.�
She added while students are filming the broadcast, their fellow classmates are completely engaged.
�We can get more stuff done by doing this,� said Sutton. �(We can) get more information out there.�

So romantic and sooo sad (with a spark of hope in it). Having a Ukulele as the main Instrument doesn't make it motivational nor funny… .

Do Parenting Classes Benefit Your Family?
Obtaining a divorce is almost always a difficult and complex process. This is especially compounded in the situation where the desire to divorce is not mutual between partners. In the event that one spouse wants a divorce but the other does not, is a divorce allowed? And how does the couple proceed? The answer to these questions depends largely on whether the couple lives in a "no-fault" divorce or a "fault" divorce state.
"No-Fault" vs. "Fault" Divorce
Each state's divorce laws will vary in terms of the requirements for filing a divorce. In general, the basic idea is that in a no-fault state, one spouse may file a divorce even if neither of the parties has committed a wrongdoing. In an "at-fault", or simply "fault" divorce state, the filing spouse must state specific reasons why the judge will grant a divorce decree. Here are some more features of no-fault and fault-based divorce options:
"No-Fault" Divorce: The main feature of no-fault divorce is that the filing spouse does not need to prove any "fault" or wrongdoing on behalf of either person. They need not show any breach of a marital contract or transgressions of the law. However, some states require the filing spouse to state that the couple is "no longer compatible" or has "irreconcilable differences". Also some states require that the couple be living apart for a certain period of months or years before they can file for no-fault divorce.
"Fault" Divorce: In this type of divorce, the spouse filing for divorce needs to show the other spouse was at fault in some way, either by breaching a marital contract or by certain actions, which may include:
- Marital unfaithfulness (adultery)
- Cruel treatment such as infliction of physical pain or emotional suffering
- Deserting the other spouse for a period of time
- Being imprisoned for a specified length of time
- Inability to physically consummate the marriage (if not communicated beforehand).
As you can see, it is generally much easier to file for divorce in a no-fault state.
Please take note that even if divorce has been filed in a no-fault state, it is common for the non-consenting spouse to take actions to delay the divorce proceedings. For example, they may refuse to sign required documents or even move their locations in order to make it difficult to contact them. So, while one spouse may be free to file the divorce papers, obtaining the actual divorce can be a lengthy process in itself.
Residency Requirement and Contestations
Whether the divorce is being made in a fault or no-fault state, one common administrative requirement is that the spouse who files for the divorce must establish that they are a resident of the state where they are filing at. The place of residence can make a huge difference as to the outcome of the case, since no-fault states are less strict than fault states with regards to their divorce requirements.
In addition to delaying the divorce process, the non-consenting spouse may often have the option to contest the divorce. This is usually the case in an at-fault state rather than a no-fault state. If the contestation is done in a fault state, the non-consenting spouse will usually have to show that they did not breach the marital contract or that they did not do the actions that place them at fault (such as adultery or cruelty). Many no-fault states do not allow the other spouse to contest a divorce once it has been filed.
More Issues- Notification and Publications
Another common issue that arises in non-consent cases is the issue of notification. All states require that the filing spouse employ their best efforts to notify the other spouse that they are filing for divorce. This is done by officially serving them papers which include notifications of the divorce. This gives them a chance to respond if contestation is allowed.
However, as mentioned before, it can often be the case that the other spouse cannot be contacted. This may happen for a variety of reasons; for example, if the spouse has moved and cannot be located. In such cases the courts allow what is called "notification by publication".
Notification by publication is where the courts allow a spouse to notify the other party that they have filed for divorce through a local publishing company, usually in the "divorce" section of a newspaper. The person must place the ad in the newspaper stating that they have filed for divorce, and the other party usually must be named. The person filing is required to wait for a period such as 30 days for the other spouse to respond.
If the non-consenting party does not respond to the publication, the filing party then obtains a letter from the newspaper verifying that the ad was in fact posted for the required time. The letter is submitted to a judge, who then continues with the proceedings. If the other party still has not responded, the judge will issue a default judgment, which will be sent to the other spouse. In such cases, the non-contesting spouse is not entitled to contest the default judgment, and the divorce will be final.
Conclusion- Some Points to Remember
As you have seen, filing for divorce is possible even if the other spouse does not consent. If you believe that you will be filing for divorce, it is in your best interest to retain a lawyer, who can assist you in preparing the necessary documents for filing in a timely manner. To recap, here are some points to remember when consulting with your lawyer:
• The biggest factor in filing for divorce is whether your state is a no-fault or a fault state. Check to see what type of state you live in and if there are any other additional restrictions
• If you live in a no fault state, inquire whether your state requires a period of separation before obtaining a no-fault divorce. New York is an example of a state that has such a requirement.
• Regardless of what type of state you live in, filing must be made in your state of residency in a timely manner
• The other party must be properly notified in order to be given an opportunity to respond or contest the filing if this is allowed.

I could never bring myself to spend $30+ on swisstop pads. But on the weekend I thrown on some of these and wow, the difference was like chalk and cheese.
Do yourself a favor and ditch the cork pads for these if you have them.
Do they squeal at all? My factory cork ones squeal pretty bad no matter how I have them setup. The Swissstop yellows are pretty much silent, but I don't trust them on clinchers for big descents in regards to potential overheating. Have also tried zipp corks which are pretty good. But interested in how these go.

HIGH POINT, N.C. – King College's Taylor Gouge has been selected as the NCAA Division II Conference Carolinas Men's Golfer of the Week during week eight of the 2012 season. This is the sophomore's first such accolade stemming from a successful October that included an individual and team victory.
In the first collegiate win of his career, Taylor Gouge (Elizabethton, Tenn.) put together a pair of sub-70 rounds at his home invitational en route to victory. The sophomore birdied the final two holes of the King College Invitational to seal the victory and put his team in a tie for second place overall. At the LMU State Farm Classic, Gouge turned in a second top-10 finish out of 83 individuals participating and the third under-par round of the month to help the Tornado to their first team victory of the season.

For example, someone buys a $6,000 plasma TV only to call the cable company to talk them through settings and screen menus and the customer has never even open the directions for it. A computer is more complex than a toaster or a standard appliance, however so is a car. Learning how to drive isn't easy at first, but once you learn, it is as easy as navigating through windows in an operating system.
There is a small service company called "The Geek Patrol" that goes to people's houses and does everything from setting an home theater to programming your remote. They perform tasks that people are incapable of fixing on their computer or any other piece of electronic component. When anyone buys an expensive piece of equipment do you really think is necessary to learn how to maintenance that equipment? I think so. People decades ago use to build their own houses and perform most of there own services. Now you hire people just to install a ceiling fan or a light switch. We bring our cars in to have our oil changed that takes less than 10 min if done by ourselves. All it takes it a few minutes of your time and some reading. My father built his own garage and wired the whole thing up himself. He learned about auto-mechanics from his father. My father knows a little about everything and became an expert in crime prevention as a police officer. I don't know a lot of people that can build there own garage and do their main profession as well. Shouldn't even basic knowledge be applied when using a computer as well? I work for the cable company and you would be surprised how many people cant even turn on their TV. Would you call the highway dept if your car broke down?
The operating systems that are available today, such as Linux, Windows and Mac OS X certainly have their difficulties, but for the most part they have become very easy to use. Since I've used all three I'd say the easiest to use is Mac. I've seen books in Borders that are as thin as a pamphlet that can show you how to navigate, create a folder and browse the web with ease. In the days of DOS and Windows 3.1 it was a lot more difficult to use the computer than it is now. In the past there were motherboards with dip-switches and power connectors that took extreme delicacy to avoid frying the board or making a big puff of smoke. Now almost anybody can assemble a complete system in a matter of a few hours if they took the time to read the books.
So how intuitive does something need to be with an applet that says "save as"? The Grammie Gums and Great Aunt Bertha's of the world are having problems turning a television on, let alone use a computer. I see Home Depot being a busy place every weekend. How come people cant read books from CompUSA and learn how to use a computer? They have classes that offer information on all kinds of programs. Could we make Operating Systems easier? Sure we could, but what will happen is the Operating System will be making decisions for us. Putting my data in folders where I don't want to go, constant pop up boxes asking us what to do. Is this the fun I have to look forward too? A bunch of wizards to go through to look at a JPEG? All these hassles, because some person doesn't want to learn how to open up a document in word? More back up programs on my hard drive because someone doesn't know how to back up there data? Longhorn, when it comes out will be making a lot of decisions for you, whether you like or not. You might be seeing me running FreeBSD or Mac full-time at that point. Windows for me at that point will be nothing more than a media player or a game console.
We hire someone to make our food, make our coffee, wash our clothes, fix our cars, paint our houses, download music on our Mp3 players, program our remote controls and the list goes on. Is this the age of laziness or does no one have the time to learn the things they use on a daily basis? Do I think computers should be dummy proof? No, not me. That takes all the options on how I want to use my computer away from me. To me all it takes is some interest. I'm not talking about compiling the kernel or running complex programming in a terminal. I'm talking about saving a document to the hard drive or knowing the difference between an icon and an executable. I have to admit the likes of Linux isn't for everyone yet, but Mac or Windows? I think they are easily at the spot we need them to be. What we add to it now is mostly fluff. We have become a society of people that are an expert at one thing and a complete dullard at everything else.

Small Cool 2010: Vickiann's Dramatic Color
Who Lives Here: Vickiann
Location: Brightwaters, New York
Size: 650 square feet
What is your favorite element of your Small & Cool home? If I'm allowed to say color as a whole, then that's it. I love bold color! I could never live in a white space. Even though I rent, it's worth losing my deposit over. I think the orange in my living room is my favorite, but I recently painted the ceiling in my bedroom navy blue so I'm in love with that right now. (Yeah, I'm definitely losing my deposit!)
Thumbs Up Voting is only activated for 48 Hours — so don't delay!
What was one of the biggest challenges you faced in furnishing your Small Cool home? I know this is not a unique challenge, but storage is a big issue in my small home. In order to accommodate necessary storage pieces (hiding places for my stuff!) without filling up the space too quickly, I started with smaller scale furniture. My main seating area in the living room consists of a love seat and chair — no sofa. My dining table is also very small. This left room to have a lot of storage furniture. My TV is in an armoire with doors to hide the electronics and drawers beneath and it's caddy cornered so I can hide things behind. I have a chest of drawers in my living room that I salvaged from the trash and refinished giving me 5 more drawers of storage. Various benches, trunks and ottomans all have hidden storage. It's amazing how many nooks and crannies you can find to put things in when you look. If everything has a home, even a busy space like mine doesn't look so cluttered. My favorite sources are TJ Maxx and Marshall's for just about everything. I also like thrift stores for unique furniture.

I have been playing Scrabble for years. This has to be the one and only game I will jump up to sit down and play. Thanks to Words with Friends, I can do this DAILY!!! Yeeeee! My sister hates playing me, but thank goodness she still does because I feel like I am a part of her world on a daily basis. Weird, I know… But she has TWINS!!! I don't get to talk to her as often. So I play her! (and beat her too) he he
So, to continue my addiction… I decided to put the old Scrabble board game to new use! Using what I had laying around the house, here is what I came up with! I know the Scrabble Lovers out there will love it too!
Now, where do I hang it??? Hmmmm

However if you actually try to claim on this warranty they tell you that the normal 'life' of a bike is 5-7 years. They even state that 'fatigue' through normal use is not covered at all. It gets worse, "lightweight and carbon frames usually have shorter lives." (not defined) Anything that has exceeded the life expectancy is not covered.
It would seem that this warranty is of little worth.
I have pasted extracts of the relevant parts of the current warranty document below. Unfortunately my friend (see below) doesn't have his original manual but I wouldn't be surprised if the wording of the warranty that he thought he bought was actually more generous.
FRAMES (frame, fork structure, swing arm):
Cannondale frames (except frames for Freeride, and Dirt Jumping bikes, see below) are warranted by Cannondale Bicycle Corporation, 16 Trowbridge Drive, Bethel, CT 06801 against manufacturing defects in materials and/or workmanship for the lifetime of the original owner.
Damage resulting from normal wear and tear, including the results of fatigue, is not covered. Fatigue damage is a symptom of the frame being worn out through normal use. It is one kind of normal wear and tear, and it is the owner's responsibility to inspect his/her bicycle.
A case in point:
A friend of mine bought a nice Cannondale bike in 2001. He says he only rode it approximately every other week for 3 years and then only rode it about 10 times since then and not at all for the last 3 years for a total of about 100 rides.
He was going to lend it to another mate of mine to do some big events like RTB and the Hartley Life Cycle challenge. I was servicing the bike to make sure it was road-worthy and noticed a crack in the right chainstay next to the bridge. Disappointment all round, but hey this should be covered by the 'lifetime warranty' shouldn't it?
Here is the response from Cycling Sports Group Australia.
From: Terry Freshwater [mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com] Sent: Wednesday, 24 October 2012 12:04 PM To: xxxxx
Subject: RE: Warranty details for WID31186
Hi xxxxxx,
The Cannondale warranty covers the life of the bike. That is not to suggest that your bike will last forever but that is has a use full life span. The life span of a frame is dependant on many factors such as amount of use and riding conditions. Obviously a frame that undergoes heavy or even just regular use will not last as long as a frame hung up and never ridden. So, rather that set a specific time line, Cannondale tries to allow for individual differences. Even so, with normal use, our experience suggests that an aluminum frame will last 5 to 7 years before metal fatigue and the pressures of normal wear and tear take their toll. Lightweight and carbon frames usually have shorter lives. At 11years old your frame is well outside normal expectations and is no longer covered under warranty.

Note that this response was provided before the owner provided any input in terms of usage. The only response so far has been a re-statement of the policy above.
Whilst Cannondale make some fine bicycles, it appears that the warranty is not something that should count in their favour in your purchasing decisions.
