The Dodge City High basketball teams are being played a trick by with Mother Nature and it could be the death knell of the hopes of seedings because tonight's contests at Liberal might not be played.
All of the roads late Thursday night between Dodge City and Liberal were completely snowpacked/iced according to the Kansas Department of Transportation website and school has already been postponed at the high school.
Winter Storm Q officially dumped 11.1 inches at the National Weather Service offices at Dodge City Regional Airport, eight inches in west Dodge City and up to 12.4 inches reported five miles north of town. Liberal had four inches of snow. Temperatures were supposed to fall to near zero Friday morning.
"The main issue is that with the temperatures going down so far (Friday morning), all the moisture that had turned to liquid would be solid, making things much slicker," said Tim Burke, a forecaster for the National Weather Service.
The Kansas State High School Activities Association ruled that the Class 5A and 6A seedings would take place Saturday morning, so it was important to get the game with the Redskins played as originally scheduled.
"We're going to try anything and any way possible to get the game played," said DCHS athletic director Jay Gifford. "We want to play the game, but safety is also a big issue that has to be addressed. If we can't play the game Friday night, there really isn't any reason to play the game."
The Red Demons (12-7) are currently third in the seedings in the Class 6A Maize sub-state, a half-game behind Garden City (13-7). A win by Dodge City over the Redskins would move the team into a tie and because the Demons have beaten the Buffaloes twice this season, would get the second seed.
That is important because the No. 2 seed would host one of the sub-state finals instead of playing both sub-state finals at Maize as had been in the past. So if the Red Demons and Buffaloes win their first round game, the second game would either be at the DCHS Fieldhouse or the New Garden.
"We want this game because of that. If we get third, we want to earn that by getting beat by Liberal," Hamilton said. "If the association doesn't understand the kind of storm we had out here and they don't allow teams to re-seed after Saturday night, then I don't think they have the kids' best interests.
"I know that's pretty harsh, but that's how I feel. We're going to get this game in one way or another. I've heard there are other teams playing Saturday and if we get bumped to third because of that, then it's very unfortunate."
Although the Lady Demons are not playing for a home game, they are playing for something very important. Dodge City are battling for the fifth-seed spot; with Hutchinson currently a game ahead of the Lady Demons and Campus.
However, Dodge City has already beaten their opponent while Hutchinson and Campus have much tougher competition. Dodge City is likely going to be in a coin flip, but they would rather be on for fifth with that team playing Wichita Northwest and Garden City nor Maize, two teams ranked in Class 6A with much better records.
"We really look forward to playing Liberal again and moving up in the sub-state for momentum purposes, but if we don't get it played, then we're just going to have to play with whoever we draw," said DCHS girls basketball head coach Kelley Snodgrass.
The Red Demons just completed their fourth straight run to the Western Athletic Conference title. Dodge City beat Liberal 51-38 last month at the Fieldhouse, with the Red Demons opening the game with a 14-4 run and were never challenged building a 26-12 lead at halft. Jace Larson scored 15 points and had 15 rebounds to lead Dodge City in the first meeting.
Hamilton said the Red Demons understand what's at stake and cannot afford to take the Redskins (4-15, 1-6) lightly.
"We're playing good basketball and to go in there and lay an egg would be disappointing to their coach and to the players themselves," Hamilton said.
The Lady Demons ended an eight-game losing streak when they beat Liberal 48-28 in the first meeting of the season, perhaps the best game of the season overall for Dodge City. The Lady Demons scored 19 points off of 15 Liberal turnovers and led 23-10 at halftime. Ciera Lampe scored 17 points and grabbed five rebounds to lead Dodge City in the first meeting.
"It will be a tough test at their place," Snodgrass said. "Hopefully,we can execute well on offense and defensively, hold them below our goal of 35 points. That will definitely help in getting the momentum going into sub-state."
Demons hope to beat Mother Nature, then Redskins

Tricuspid regurgitation is a disorder in which the hearts tricuspid valve does not close properly, causing blood to flow backward (leak) into the right upper heart chamber (atrium) when the right lower heart chamber (ventricle) contracts.
Alternative Names
Tricuspid insufficiency
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
The tricuspid valve separates the right lower heart chamber (the right ventricle) from the right upper heart chamber (right atrium).
The most common cause of tricuspid regurgitation isenlargement of the right ventricle, which pumps blood to the lungs, where it picks up oxygen. This enlargement may be a complication of any disorder that causes extra strain on the right ventricle.
Tricuspid regurgitation may also be caused or made worse by problems with the valves on the left side of the heart (mitral or aortic valve) or the left ventricle (which pumps blood from the heart to the rest of the body). It may also be due to any cause of
Other diseases can directly affect the tricuspid valve. The most common of these is infective endocarditis, which is usually due to unsanitary conditions during drug abuse. Anything that causes bacteria to enter the bloodstream can also cause endocarditis.
Tricuspid regurgitation may be found inpeople with a type of congenital heart disease called
Other,less commoncauses of tricuspid regurgitation include:
- Carcinoid tumors, which release a hormone that damages the valve
- Marfan syndrome
- Injury
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Radiation therapy
- Rheumatic fever
Another important risk factor for tricuspid regurgitation is use of the diet medications called "Fen-Phen" (phentermine and fenfluramine) or dexfenfluramine.
Tricuspid regurgitation may not cause any symptoms if the regurgitation is not severe. However, patients may have:
- Active pulsing in the neck veins
- Decreased
urine output Fatigue, tiredness
- General swelling
Swelling of the abdomen Swelling of the feetand ankles Weakness
Signs and tests
The health care provider mayfind abnormalities when gently pressing with the hand (
Listening to the heart with a stethoscopemay reveala murmur or other abnormal sounds. There may be signs of fluid collection in the abdomen.
Other tests, such as CT scan or MRI of the chest (heart), may reveal enlargement of the right side of the heart and other changes.
Treatment may not be needed if there are few or no symptoms. You may need to go to the hospital to diagnose and treat severe symptoms.
Swelling may be managed with medications (diuretics) that help remove fluids from the body.
Conditions that cause this problem should be identified and treated. Some people may be able to have surgery to repair or replace the tricuspid valve. Surgery is usually done as part of another procedure.
People with abnormal or damaged heart valves are at risk for an infection called endocarditis. Anything that causes bacteria to get into your bloodstream may lead to this infection. Steps to avoid this problem include:
- Avoid unclean injections
- Treat strep infections promptly to prevent rheumatic fever
- Always tell your health care provider and dentist if you have a history of heart valve disease or congenital heart disease before treatment. Guidelines recommend the use of antibiotics for some patients, but only under certain conditions.
Expectations (prognosis)
Treating any conditions, especially high blood pressure in the lungs and swelling of the right lower heart chamber, may correct this disorder. Surgical valve repair or replacement usually provides a cure. However, persons with severe tricuspid regurgitation that cannot be corrected may have a poor prognosis, either from this condition or the one that caused it.
Cirrhosis Endocarditis
- Weight loss
- Worsening of
heart failure
Calling your health care provider
Call your health care provider if symptoms of tricuspid regurgitation are present.
Prompt treatment of disorders that can cause valve disease reduces your risk of tricuspid regurgitation.

Any outcome of this?
Sorry to jump in on this thread, but I was reading today about how many bicyclists were killed in Iowa and Nebraska in the last year.
One fellow was killed two miles from my home while he rode to work. Two others were rear-ended by a man in a pickup. One of these riders I knew. Both survived, but it's a miracle.
It seems to me that bicyclists and motorcyclists have a lot in common in regards to avoidance of cagers. There is a movement by a West Des Moines, IA lawer/cyclist to stiffen the penalties for a cager who hits a motorcyclist.
Guess what happened to the driver of the pickup who hit the two guys?
Not even a ticket. Nada.
He claimed he just didn't see them. The accident was on a clear weekday morning last June right about 6am. The sun wasn't in his eyes at all.
Add in the drunks and others careless and negligent persons to the ones who actually swerve towards bicyclists, and we have much in common with the human powered two-wheelers. If we aren't working together, I ask, why not?
Randy Kasal
My heartfelt sympathy to all those who remain who knew the victims.
We had a similar occurance in Springfield, IL.
A young man had been drinking after work until late night hours. He then decided to drive down the interstate on the wrong side until he hit a car head-on. Five young college students dead in an instant. He suffered a few broken bones. It is not really equality, but he is in prison for 20 years for reckless homicide. So many lives screwed up. It cannot be any sadder.

UND Presidential Search Committee Forwards
Presidential Candidate Kelley to SBHE
BISMARCK, N.D. - The University of North Dakota presidential search committee met today and voted to forward to the State Board of Higher Education the name of one candidate, Dr. Robert Kelley, for the presidency of UND.
Kelley was the only candidate to receive at least 12 votes, the minimum threshold established by the committee at its Jan. 7, 2008, meeting. The SBHE will meet at UND Feb. 4, 2008, to select the university's next president.
Kelley is dean of the College of Health Sciences and professor of medical education and public health at the University of Wyoming in Laramie, Wyo. He has been in his present position since 1999. Prior to that, he was associate vice chancellor for research and executive associate dean of the graduate college at the University of Illinois at Chicago, professor of biological sciences at the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and professor of anatomy and cell biology at the College of Medicine, both at the University of Illinois at Chicago. At the University of New Mexico, he served as chair of anatomy and senior executive associate dean, as well as in other faculty capacities. He also has taught at the University of California, Berkeley.
Kelley earned a bachelor's degree in biology and chemistry from Abilene Christian University in Abilene, Texas, in 1965 and a master's degree in 1966 and doctorate in 1969, both in cell and developmental biology from the University of California, Berkeley.
He has served as chair of the Assembly for the Association of American Medical Colleges, chaired the Council of Academic Societies for the AAMC and was a member of the executive board of the National Board of Medical Examiners, which is responsible for the U.S. medical licensure examination. He also has served on several National Institutes of Health (NIH) study sections, served on the director's advisory board for NIH strategic planning and chaired the Minority Biomedical Research Support Program advisory committee in the NIH Division of Research Resources. That program helped support research for historically black universities, tribal colleges and "minority-majority" institutions.
Kelley currently is principal investigator for the University of Wyoming/Northern Rockies INBRE (IDeA Network of Biomedical Research Excellence), an NIH program that promotes biomedical research and connects the state's community colleges with the University of Wyoming.
He and his wife Marcia Jean have four children.

I have seriously massive thighs - they are about 23" at their widest, but my waist is only 26.5"-27" now.
I'd like my thighs to be a bit smaller (I especially want them to stop rubbing together). Can I achieve this through toning them with yoga/pilates etc.? I know that you can't spot reduce, but my friends appear to think that my thighs are big because I need to tone them.
Or am I right in thinking that you can make your stomach smaller by toning it, but my thighs will just get bigger if I exercise them more? And the only option is to lose weight?
(My current exercise regime is just running 2-3 times per week, which I started a couple of months ago, and a lot of walking - I think I need to do a wider range of exercise anyway).

NORTHAMPTON, Mass. - With the NCAA Division III Indoor Championship just a week away, the MIT men's and women's track and field teams headed to Smith College for the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Championship meet. The women's squad, who recently moved up to No. 2 in the country, the highest ranking in program history, finished 11th of 43 scoring teams with a limited number of entrants. On the men's side, the No. 11 Engineers complied 16 points among just four scoring competitors, to place 17th overall.
Hazel Briner made the most of the last chance to position herself for the NCAA Championship. She cleared a new personal best in the pole vault (12-3.50 feet) to take second place and move up to 13th on the national performance list. Teammate Karin Fisher had a solid effort of 11-11.75 feet, good for third place.
Martha Gross ran a strong race at 400 meters, finishing in 59.10 seconds and in third place. In the 800, Brooke Johnson set an MIT freshman record of 2:18.51, placing sixth in her first race at that distance. Jamie Simmons was a few places behind Johnson in eighth, with a time of 2:18.87. Portia Jones also ran at the meet, competing in the 55-meter hurdles, taking fourth place with an NCAA provisional mark of 8.40 seconds. Jones currently has the fifth best time in the country in that event, which she achieved last month.
On the men's side, Stephen Morton and a pair of pole vaulters fared well at the Championship. Greg Tao led the way with a second place finish in the pole vault, clearing a new personal record of 16-1.75 feet and putting him into 10th place in all of Division III heading into the National Championship. Nathan Peterson was ninth with a vault of 14-10.00 feet.
Morton competed in both the triple and long jumps, the events in which he owns the first and second best performances in the country, respectively. Morton placed third in the triple jump with a 46-4.25 foot effort and seventh in the long jump (22-0.75 feet).
Also competing this weekend at the IC4A Championship, Kyle Hannon ran a solid 4:11.67 mile in the prelims to establish a new MIT freshman record and move up to No. 14 on the national performance list.
The NCAA Division III Championship will be held next weekend, Friday and Saturday, March 12-13 at DePauw University in Greencastle, Ind. The complete field of competitors will be announced on Monday, March 8.

Sir Alex Ferguson is 'distraught over defeat'
Manchester United assistant manager Mike Phelan admitted Sir Alex Ferguson was "not in a fit state" to question why Turkish referee Cuneyt Cakir sent Nani off at Old Trafford tonight.
From a position of some promise, 2-1 up on aggregate after Sergio Ramos' own goal, 10-man United were dumped out of the Champions League as Luka Modric and Cristiano Ronaldo scored to take Real Madrid into the quarter-finals.
United were seething at Cakir's decision to red card Nani for a high tackle on Arvelo Arbeloa.
Rio Ferdinand applauded the official sarcastically after the final whistle, whilst a clearly incensed Ferguson took the unprecedented step of avoiding media duties, presumably for fear of what he might say.
"The manager is not in fit state to talk to the referee about the decision," said Phelan.
"It speaks volumes that I am sat here.
"We are all witnesses to a decision that seemed very harsh, and incredible at that moment in the game."

Ideas, Insights and Predictions from Healthcare Social Media Thought Leaders
John Lynn is the Founder of the HealthcareScene.com blog network which currently consists of 10 blogs containing over 8000 articles with John having written over 4000 of the articles himself. These EMR and Healthcare IT related articles have been viewed over 16 million times. John also manages Healthcare IT Central and Healthcare IT Today, the leading career Health IT job board and blog. John is co-founder of InfluentialNetworks.com and Physia.com. John is highly involved in social media, and in addition to his blogs can also be found on Twitter: @techguy and @ehrandhit and LinkedIn.
I thought it would be fun to experiment with a new type of blog post. I came up with the idea during the recent #HITsm chat. I decided I'd ask 5 of the #HITsm participants to share an idea, prediction, insight, or thought that I could share in a blog post. I didn't give them a topic, direction, or ask any questions. I just asked them to share something that thought would be useful or interesting. I found the results quite interesting.
I asked 5 people to tweet something. Only 4 of the 5 responded (probably a lost Twitter DM), but one of the people sent two tweets. So, the following are the 5 tweets with a little bit of commentary from me.
HIEs will have more than profit struggles if they don't actually exchange data & insist on controlling provider interfaces. @ehrandhit
— Chad Johnson (@OchoTex) July 12, 2013
This is a really interesting insight. Chad has a really good point. I'm not sure I've seen a truly open HIE that just wanted to be the company sharing the data. I think a few have that goal in mind, but they haven't gotten there yet. It will be a real game changer when an HIE just wants to be the pipes and not the faucet as well. I will say that most healthcare organizations aren't quite ready to implement the faucet though either.
A #pediatrician makes the perfect #CMIO. When docs grump about #ehr, we treat it as age appropriate behavior #2yearold @ehrandhit
— Nanette Nuessle, MD (@DrNanN) July 12, 2013
Thank you Dr. Nan for bringing some humor to the post. I love it! Although, maybe it's not that funny since it rings far too close to the truth. I might also share this with my wife so she understands age appropriate behavior for our children.
When it's slow in the office, I get lonely, depressed. Caught up on paperwork. Trying not to annoy the staff. Come see me @ehrandhit
— Nanette Nuessle, MD (@DrNanN) July 12, 2013
This was the other tweet that Dr. Nan sent. You can tell it comes from a raw place. I'm actually surprised we don't talk about doctor depression more. I read a lot of entrepreneur blogs and there's been a real increase in discussion around entrepreneur depression. I expect that doctors could really benefit from this discussion as well. For some reason there's a fear of discussing the real challenges and pressures of the job.
@ehrandhit Prediction: New #HealthIT workflow apps, just workarounds 4 current workflow-challenged EHRs, wll become mission-critical systems
— Charles Webster, MD (@wareFLO) July 12, 2013
Would we expect anything other than workflow from Dr. Webster? I'm not sure I like his prediction. I hope he's wrong. I don't want a workaround for EHR workflow. I want something drastically different.
Our responsibility is to constantly engage each other in health-generating behavior–not just when we're ill, but when we're well @ehrandhit
— Ryan Lucas (@dz45tr) July 12, 2013
I love this concept and refer to it as treating healthy patients. Although, I love Ryan's approach of patients taking responsibility for their own health and engaging with those they love in health-generating behaviors. Sure, doctors are miracle workers, but we as patients should be much more involved in our health as well.
That's all she wrote. If you like this idea, let me know. If you'd like to participate in a future post, be sure to tweet me @ehrandhit.

Football's big day is finally here!
Tens of thousands of fans flocked to the World Cup final between Germany and Argentina on Sunday, joining millions around Brazil and across South America who celebrated the last game of the monthlong football festival.
With Argentina right next door to Brazil, it was no surprise that Rio de Janeiro was completely awash in the sky-blue jerseys of that nation's team, with upward of 70,000 "hermanos" flooding into the seaside city and making themselves at home.
Fans slept out on the golden sands of Copacabana beach under a hot tropical sun, swigging beer and cooking.

Javier Gonzalez traveled 40 hours by car from Buenos Aires to get to Rio in time for the match. He and four friends held out hopes of finding tickets for the final – but only had $230 a piece to spend, far less than what scalped tickets are going for. But he reckoned Brazilians with tickets will soon be desperate to be rid of them.
Gonzalez said that if Argentina loses, he'd head home tomorrow.
"But if they win," he added hopefully, "we might not leave at all."
Cintia Herrera, a 31-year-old secretary from Buenos Aires, was another of the football pilgrims, having spent 48 hours on a bus to be in Rio for the "once in a lifetime" final.
"The whole bus was full of Argentines singing and acting crazy, except for a few Brazilians who had to put up with us the whole way," she said. "I felt really sorry for them."
At Brazil's temple to football, the Maracana stadium where the match was set to kickoff at 4 p.m. local time, workers arrived seven hours early, with queues trailing around the stadium several hours head of kickoff.
There was a heavy security presence around the stadium and across Rio. More than 25,000 police and soldiers were on guard just for the game, according to officials, the biggest security detail in Brazilian history.
Inside the stadium, world leaders including Russian President Vladimir Putin, whose nation will host the 2018 World Cup, and German Chancellor Angela Merkel were seen sitting in the stands with FIFA's President Sepp Blatter, watching some pre-match entertainment.
With Brazil roundly praised for how it's carried out the Cup, considered by many fans to be among the most exciting in recent decades, authorities were taking no chances of anything ruining their big day.
Around the Maracana, where 74,000 spectators were expected to cram for the final, lines of security forces wearing camouflage uniforms and carrying rifles stood watch. Roads were closed and military helicopters buzzed overhead, with Brazilian authorities still wary that the violent protests that marred last year's Confederations Cup warm-up event may reappear. A few hours before the match, one anti-World Cup protest had gathered around 200 people in a plaza a few kilometers from the stadium.
Fabiane Chiesa lives about 75 meters from the Maracana, located in Brazil's working class Tijuca neighborhood. Chiesa's street was blocked at both ends and she said she basically couldn't leave her house until 11 p.m., when police lift the blockade.
"It is a bit inconvenient, and I can't invite friends over to watch the match," she said. "They could not get past the soldiers. On the other hand, I've never felt safer."
But Brazil was hoping to blend the serious issue of security with fun for the fans.
Across the road from the lines of military police surrounding the stadium, Argentina supporters danced and sang in a cafe, eagerly awaiting their chance to win the World Cup for the first time since Diego Maradona's team in 1986.
"Messi will lift it! Messi will lift it!" the Argentines chanted, hoping that their star player Lionel Messi will pick up the solid gold trophy at the end.
German fans were filtering in, too, hoping for a fourth World Cup title. There were also supporters wearing Colombia, Mexico, Northern Ireland and Brazil shirts, and many more.
For the host country, the football ended in disappointment with a 7-1 rout at the hands of the Germans in the semifinals, but the tournament – with one game to go – has been hailed as a great success.
"We did ok, yes?" said a Brazilian walking around the outskirts of the Maracana wearing his team's canary-yellow shirt.

.375 Caliber (.375) 200 gr. FN
For rifles, this bullet is designed specifically for the 375 Winchester cartridge. It has Sierra's unique PowerJacket and provides outstanding terminal performance. Sierra's Power Jacket ensures positive but even expansion in conjunction with good penetration on medium to heavy game. The cannelure location is correct for crimping, and the flat point was designed for use in tubular magazines. This bullet is also very effective in the 375 H&H Magnum, but velocity should be kept around 2200 fps to avoid over-expansion in game.
For handguns, although the bullet is designed for rifles chambered for the 375 Winchester cartridge, it quickly found a home in the 375 Super Magnum revolver. Thompson Center currently chambers the T/C Contender for the 375 Winchester as well. Designed for the modest velocities generated by 375 Winchester rifles, this bullet performs very well in a handgun. The large amount of exposed lead at the tip and the PowerJacket skiving assure quick, even expansion at all suggested velocities and ranges, making this bullet the best choice in this caliber for field use on game. Traditional Sierra accuracy assures success on medium to large game and silhouettes.
The #2900 was introduced in 1987.

|Bought these to fully form unprimed brass for a 375 H&H Mag. Loaded a mid range load (74gr, IMR4064) 2900 FPS. Actually a very accurate load and I have been using it on deer for years now. It has the same zero as the 250gr bullets I use for elk.

|I run these through my 375 Winchester Model 94. It hits deer hard out to about 175 yards which is as far as I want to shoot a lever action. Most shots are between 40 to 100 yards and this bullet is very effective with the blunt, flat, bullet face, you can hear a loud smack when it hits and it leaves a large wound channel. Thank you Sierra for making these very special bullets available again.

James Yorkston | WIG107 | Released: 15/06/02
"I played in Galway once and this girl come up to me afterwards and asked, 'Have you ever had a relationship that went well?' Cheeky wee. . ." James Yorkston
James Yorkston surveys the songs that make up his beautiful, freewheeling debut album, 'Moving Up Country', and notes that several of them chronicle the fall-out of love. But there are just as many concerning the fall-in as well.
"I never try and write, when it comes out, it comes out, and that's most likely when you're in the pits of despair or feeling the joys of spring, which is pretty much what's here. There's a lot of reminiscing on this album, some of it happy, some melancholy."
Born and raised in the Fife village of Kingsbarns - a make-your-own-entertainment kind of place - James has been following musical pursuits since the age of 8. He followed a girlfriend out of the village to settle in Edinburgh at the age of 17, inspired to see the world, and write songs, by his love of music like Madagascan guitarist D'Gary and folk singer Anne Briggs.
Six years ago he joined Edinburgh garage-punk band Huckleberry, then, three days later, also landed his first solo gig. "Someone came in to my friend's record shop asking if they knew anybody who could support Bert Jansch and my mate said, Yeah, James'll do it. I had a week to knock my songs into some sort of order. I was absolutely terrified."
He fed the hard-core side of his soul with Huckleberry for a few years until the lure of his acoustic muse – and a fear of deafness – finally won out. He sent off two tapes of a song called 'Moving Up Country, Roaring The Gospel', one to John Peel, and one to John Martyn, seeking a support slot at an Edinburgh gig. Peel played the tape on air, which led to the Bad Jazz label releasing a single and Martyn offered James the support slot on his entire 30-date 2001 tour. Soon after, James signed to Domino Records, who released his third single, 'The Lang Toun' to great acclaim in March 2002.
Now, at last, here's his first album. It's a tremendously assured record, full of rich but subtle arrangements sculpted over many hours, James and his musicians sometimes spending weeks on one demo, before re-capturing the final versions comparatively quickly. The bulk of the album was recorded in four weeks in a cottage near Hawick in the Scottish Border's, far enough from other people so that the band could play on into the wee hours, which they invariably did. "I wanted it to feel spontaneous and organic," says James, "and I wanted it to have a consistent feel, using the same basic group of instruments to thread all the songs together." The album was mixed by former Cocteau Twin, Simon Raymonde, who has caught exactly the warm, human sound James was after. "I'm really happy with it. There's not a bad song on here, it's fucking great!"
So here's James Yorkston's brief introduction to each song on 'Moving Up Country':
In Your Hands
A bonny wee song. I wanted it to go on the beginning because it's pretty chilled, and it has that line in it, 'It's lovely to be here.' No one had heard it before we went down to the cottage. I pulled it out of the hat and we just built it around the guitar line. I don't think it's a delicate song, I think it's confident and wry, but not trying to be anything other than a nice little thing to say hello.
St Patrick
This is one of my favourites, it means a lot to me. It describes a period of my life that was absolutely shit, and then in the third verse, happiness arrives. I recorded a version on four track originally: vocal, guitar, concertina and mandolin. I wrote the lyric one night before I went to sleep and I woke up the next day and read it back, and usually when you do that it's awful, but I looked at this and thought, Fucking hell, that's superb!
Sweet Jesus
I stumbled across the lyrics for this in a notepad on the way to my friend Kenny's house where we recorded this version. We had Kenny singing alongside me and playing accordion, and his brother Gordon shaking things and pitching in with a harmony every now and then. I wrote it about a girl I met while on tour in Ireland. I find coming up with melodies on the guitar fairly easy, but I never sit down to write lyrics, they either come off or they don't. I have notepads everywhere, in my pockets, with my guitars, beside my bed. I try and avoid revising the lyrics, I just hate songs where you can hear the machinery working, that sound contrived, middle-eights that go up a key and all that pish. I don't do middle eights.
Tender To The Blues
I felt really fucking dodgy using the word blues in a title but I figured that it's about responding to the blues rather than having them, though it's quite bluesy in a way, like that Jackson C Frank song, Blues Run The Game. It's about having your nerve-endings on the surface. The chorus is saying: I'm not a fool, I'm just suffering. I know a lot of people who have related to it when they've been splitting up with someone.
Moving Up Country
"Well look who's getting involved." This was the song that started it all. There was no master plan, it was the most recent song I'd finished, as simple as that. I sent it to John Peel because I thought he'd like the title and he played it, and then I got the support slot with John Martyn. It's about Dublin.
Cheating The Game
You could say this is the album's first cheerful one, though the lyrics aren't particularly sunny! But it has a really nice feel. Faisal's brushy percussion part is what makes it for me, I love the banjo too, and the looseness of the double-bass and the slide guitar. One or two people have said it sounds quite Trad American, and I suppose it does in a way.
I Spy Dogs
This is about when I saw a band play in a café in Paris. Everything in the song actually happened. The band were godawful, the worst fucking band in the world. The singer was looking at us all night in the same way that a sheep looked at me once before I ran it over, 'Eh… Help!' It was like the end of The Fly. The girl I was with and I were just laughing. And we used to dog-spot as we were walking around, so the title's pretty literal.
6.30 Is Way Too Early
This is a favourite. I wrote it the Christmas before last and it's exactly as it says on the tin. It's about being in County Cork at Christmas. I like the harmonica, which gives the whole thing a slack feel, like Ron Kavanagh's version of Sloop John B.
The Patience Song
This is probably the oldest song, about three or four years old. It was written about being in love. People seem to like the chorus, I like that chord change, I was really lucky to stumble across that. Even though I love this song I wasn't going to put it on the album - we had so much material to choose from - but Simon Raymonde insisted. He's an absolute diamond, one of my two favourite people in the music business. I knew I'd get on with him as soon as we met, because he had this really cool shirt on, black with a crimson pattern. That's one of the main reasons I worked with him.
I Know My Love
This is a trad/arr Yorkston. It's an old folk song which I first heard on an album called "The Shape Of Scrape" by Elisa Carthy and Nancy Kerr, that came out about 7 years ago, a wonderful album, the best either of them has done, I reckon. I was half way through putting together an album of traditional tunes for the Fence label before I signed with Domino. That album never happened, but, when we were doing this album, one night I said to the band, Let's do I Know My Love. I talked them through how it went and we did it on the first take at 3 in the morning.

The underlying components that make up a distribution are in-fact an important component to an HPC system in its entirety. There are many reasons for this, but I will focus on just a few that I hope don't strike too much of a religious chord with people while at the same time letting me rant a bit. ;-) 1) HPC people are quite familiar with building their scientific apps with optimized compilers and libraries. If an application is linking against any OS libraries (yes, including the C library) it would probably make sense to make sure those have been compiled with an optimal build environment. Most distributions do not do this, as for a single standalone system the results may or not even be noticeable. I have been part of large benchmark projects to evaluate the differences of the distributions. In a nutshell, differences become more obvious at scale. 2) Distributions focused on non-HPC targets may not include tools, libraries or even functions that would be beneficial for HPC. And in addition to that, they may not be included in a way that makes it very usable. For example, Just because a distribution contains a package does not mean that is what people should use. For example, using a distribution supplied version of Open MPI would be an injustice to the majority of cluster users, but many distributions consider themselves HPC ready because they have some HPC capable libs. It is more important to have a solution for creating a suitable HPC environment. For example, in Caos NSA the core OS is RPM based but we also utilize a source based "ports-like" tree for building scientific packages, and then we integrate with Environment Modules to make them available for the users. So one can do: # cd /usr/src/cports/packages/openmpi/1.3.3 # make install COMPILERS=intel # make clean # make install COMPILERS=gcc # su - user $ module load openmpi/1.3.3-intel $ mpicc -show icc ........ $ module unload openmpi $ module load openmpi/1.3.3-gcc $ mpicc -show gcc ........ 3) HPC distributions should be focused on being lightweight and efficient. Bloat free stateless environments are important for keeping node operating systems quiet and supportive of HPC code. Lightweight and bloat free does not mean an ancient and featureless core environment either. 4) Even the kernel for most distributions is tuned for desktop use which tries to give the fairest share of CPU time to all processes (obviously not HPC supportive). 5) Clusters are not worth BETA quality code. Unstable environments with no long term plans for upstream support makes it a ridiculous solution for anybody trying to build a production environment. The number of unsuitable solutions that we had to "rescue" because they were running Fedora and totally unmaintainable by the people that integrated them is just silly. It really is a shame that religion plays such a big part of what OS someone would use because each OS (even non-Linux) are good for certain things. I can understand wanting to leverage an economy of scale with a homogenous environment, but there is a particular point where the economy of scale is no longer justified when shoe-horning a non-suitable solution onto a cluster. Where that line is really depends on the admins, users, the size of the system, and what they baseline their benchmark for success at. Just my $0.02 for what it's worth. Greg -- Greg M.

Vredestein Quatrac 3 P205/55R-16
The Quatrac 3 is Vredestein's ultimate four-season tyre. The tyre is the perfect alternative for motorists who want to drive all year round in a moderate climate on one type of tyre. The striking asymmetrical, non-directional tread with the separate summer and winter sides offers optimal safety and comfort in all weather conditions. The tyre has excellent handling characteristics that are ideal for driving in summer conditions on dry and wet roads. At the same time, the tyre also offers perfect grip and high discharging capacity in winter conditions. The tread contains three longitudinal grooves which not only serve an aesthetic function, but also discharge water efficiently. The summer side of the Quatrac 3 is located in the outermost part of the tread. The summer side of the Quatrac 3 has a lower air ratio (more rubber, less air) and a small number of straight sipes. In summer conditions this produces extra grip on the outer shoulder, on both dry and wet surfaces. Because of the extra quantity of rubber on the outer shoulder and the rigid tread blocks, the tyre responds alertly to steering reactions. The inner section of the Quatrac 3 has a very open tread structure with undulating sipes, which provide extra traction on snowy surfaces in winter conditions. This part of the tread also has a high discharge capacity, preventing mud and snow from getting stuck in the tread and ensuring that the grip remains optimal.The Quatrac 3 bears the Snowflake and M&S symbols and hence complies with the requirements for a winter tyre.
Features & Benefits
- Low air ratio and small number of sipes (summer side)
- Open tread structure featuring undulating sipes (winter side)
- Three central longitudinal grooves
- Sophisticated construction and tread design
- Bears regular M&S code and snowflake symbol
- Rim protection (from 55 series and below)
- Optimal contact with the road surface and alert steering response
- Perfect grip and high discharge capacity on snow and ice

When the original Forza Motorsport arrived on the Xbox in spring 2005, it was met with plenty of skepticism from gamers and press alike. Up to that point, no one else had plans for a racing simulation game on that console because the new Xbox 360 was coming later that year, and most of the serious gearheads had already stuck to Gran Turismo 4 on the PlayStation 2. Others had tried before Polyphony Digital's game hit the scene, and they were rewarded with lukewarm sales for their efforts. No one expected Microsoft's rookie effort to do much better.
Despite the odds stacked against them, the company still pressed on. While Forza Motorsport didn't make many converts out of the GT4 faithful, it did make them and others sit up and take notice that this was a contender to watch. By the time Forza Motorsport 2 hit the Xbox 360, it was not just the only choice for racing simulation on the current-generation consoles, but it had also evolved to embrace several different facets of its online environment. Years later, after several racing simulators have hit the scene and before Gran Turismo 5 debuts in a few months, Microsoft Game Studios and Turn 10 have released the third game in their racing simulation series. As the old saying goes, the third time is definitely the charm with Forza Motorsport 3.
The first thing you'll notice about Forza Motorsport 3 is the fact that it comes on two discs. You will not play the game on both discs, though. The second disc is an optional install disc so users can place 1.9 GB of race track and car data on the HDD, where the game treats it like downloaded content from the marketplace. You can install it all or install the packs separately, depending on your preferences and amount of free HDD space. While it is labeled as "optional," at least the tracks would be necessary if you really want to experience everything that the game has to offer.
You'll start the game in the same manner that Need for Speed: Shift did. You'll be given an Audi to race with on the same track that was available in the game demo. It's going to be a three-lap race with equally classed cars that will serve as your own tutorial and introduction to how the game handles with your selected difficulty. Once the race completes, you get enough money to purchase your first car, and everything else the game has to offer opens up to you.
Career mode is a much longer experience than what was offered in the previous titles. This time around, your career will be centered on six racing seasons that span a different championship series for six different car classes. The events comprising each series take place every two weeks, and between those races, you can participate in smaller racing events. Unlike the previous title, where your events depended on where you had set up your base of operations, events made available to you will be dependent on the cars in your garage. For example, having a Scion xD in your possession will open up hatchback-themed events and front-wheel drive events, but not events reserved for French cars.
There are over 400 cars available in the game, and almost all of them are available for purchase when you begin the game, giving you almost no restrictions on how you want to tackle your career. The few cars that are locked can be unlocked though the game's leveling system. Finishing races gets you driver experience, which opens up specific cars for your garage, and car experience, which gives you discounts on after-market tuning parts for several different car manufacturers. All of this will be needed for the 100 track variations that make up the 220 racing events in the game. Unless you step out of the main career to take on the events individually, you'll never get through all of the events in one career.
In a way, this Career mode has you less focused on grinding for cars and more focused on trying to win races. That focus will be needed because the AI is much sharper than before; cars will know how to take turns and how to follow the driving line perfectly. The AI isn't flawless, though. More often than not, you'll see them stray from the driving line, playing defensively by blocking you, aggressive speeding by, knocking each other out of the way and spinning out of control on bad turns. This makes them more human-like and much more fun to race against since you have no idea what kind of competitors you'll face, much like an online match.
Free mode will be visited for two specific purposes: test drives and local multiplayer. Like Career mode, every car is available here for immediate selection, but this time, you don't have to go unlock them in the single-player mode to race with them. All tracks are also open in every possible configuration, giving you the time to check out which cars would be right for you when you get back to Career mode. You can also practice sharp turns and fine-tune your driving skills for when it really counts. You can also play local split-screen multiplayer with another opponent, and it's handled so well that no performance hit can be seen.
One of the issues that racing simulations have is that they are very tough for veteran drivers but are too tough for those just getting into the genre. This has often been cited as the major reason why few new players enter the genre when a new game enters the scene. Forza Motorsport 3 seems to have solved this problem with a custom difficulty system. You still have your standard three difficulty levels, which change AI behaviors and whether the assists are on or off, but this time around, you can mix and match. For example, you can turn the AI difficulty all the way up but keep on the driving lines and anti-lock brakes. You can also leave the AI at medium but turn off all assists. Couple this with an always-present rewind system that lets you replay a piece of the track if you mess up, and you have something that should please everyone. While some may say this makes the game too easy, keep in mind that each difficulty level has its own leaderboard, and anyone using the rewind system will have his times marked as such.
The racing has been the main crux of the game since its inception, but one thing that makes the title stand out among the competition is the car customization and personalization. The car-tuning features are as detailed as before, giving you control over just about every aspect of the engine that can help or harm your vehicle. If you really wanted to, you can transform an F-class car into an A-class one, thanks to the plethora of parts available from almost all car manufacturers. Like the features that make driving easier for rookies, there's also a one-step process to improve your car in case you don't know anything about engines, aside from the fact that they help cars run.
When it comes to personalization, the main story has to be the livery. Truthfully, not much has changed here, but you can now create livery decals independent of the car. You're taken to a grid field to start your creation, which gives you better control over how the decals look.
Personalization also comes through during the replay modes. Photo mode is pretty deep since you can choose angles, focus and filters for the photograph. Every spot is a prime target for photography, and you don't always have to make your car the subject of your photos. Replays can also be saved and, like the photos, multiple angles are available and you can focus on your competition for replays if you wish. There still isn't a time line to help players get to a specific scene faster or know how far along the replay they are, but it's fairly easy to figure out after some time with the replay system. New to the series is the ability to create mini-movies of specific parts of your replays. Every option from the replay controls is available here, with the added option of choosing replay length (5-30 seconds) and movie resolution (480p or 720p). While you have every indication that these movies will be posted online, the official Web site wasn't ready at the time of this review, so no one will be able to determine just how good this feature can be until the game officially releases to the public.
Forza Motorsport 2 introduced the concept of sharing user-created content with others, and Forza Motorsport 3 ups the ante. The auction house is still available, and it's a great way to earn money and obtain awesome cars. However, not everyone is interested in getting the complete package and may want only certain parts of a car. Those people will be glad to know that the vinyl decals, car designs and tuning setups can be sold separately. While the designs and tuning setups are specific to the cars for which they were designed, the decals are not and can be placed on any car. Players can earn money by selling these items in their marketplace or, if they're feeling generous, give them away for free. Players not interested in any of this can still browse the marketplace for user snapshots and race replays. Combine all of this with an extensive search feature, and you have one of the more compelling reasons yet to have a community formed around the game.
Online multiplayer is not only smooth but also much more varied than one could ever expect for a racing title. Just about any option can be tweaked and set for an almost limitless amount of game variations. You can choose which track you want, the number of laps, car types, classes and other criteria to make a custom multiplayer session. Just as in Free Race mode, every car is available for racing online, and your cars from Career mode are also eligible. Races are good for up to eight players, and while there weren't too many matches online, the ones that were available felt smooth and had little to no lag. Though you will be spending a good chunk of time online once you've completed your career, one thing you won't be able to do is take your career online. That option, present in the previous version of the game, is nowhere to be found here. As good as the AI is now, it's a little disappointing that you won't be playing your career with other people this time around.
The controls are as good as the earlier games in the series. Everything, from the steering on the car to the amount of gas given, feels responsive. Situations such as taking a turn too fast or too late give you just the right amount of resistance to make you feel like you're struggling to get yourself out of a mistake. Even with all of the driving assists turned off, you'll never feel like the car will fishtail at the slightest mistake, which helps rookie players feel less overwhelmed.
One would expect the graphics of such a high-profile title to be nothing less than perfect. For the most part, the graphics are up there with some of the more recently released racing greats. The environments on the tracks look magnificent. Lakes look wonderful, crowds have giant flags waving and cameras flashing, and the foliage looks better than ever. The little details like stray car parts and tire skids on the track stay put from the beginning of the race to the end, which is something you don't see too often. The cars are rendered nicely and sport real-time environment reflections that are better done than the previous game in the series. Coat all of this with a soft filter and have it move at a solid 60fps during gameplay, and you have the formula for graphical greatness.
However, as good as all of this sounds, there are certainly a number of things that make this area far from perfect. For starters, there doesn't seem to be too much anti-aliasing happening in Forza Motorsport 3. The 400-plus vehicles may have enough detail to read the tiny letters on the given decals, but they also sport a few jaggies on the curved roofs and car grills. There's plenty of detail on the car exteriors, but the interiors feel like they're lacking, mostly because of the drivers. It's hard to pinpoint exactly what's wrong there, but they don't feel as responsive to the car and environment as the drivers in Need for Speed: Shift and DiRT 2.
The comparison to those two titles also extends to the damage system. It still hurts to damage the car, and you can damage it enough to make the car feel terrible, but you don't see much on the car's exterior to indicate that. There are scratches, a bit of deformation, car flips and bumper rips to be had, but glass is somehow invulnerable to damage. Finally, weather seems to be static here. It's not just the fault of this game since most of the other simulators seem to omit weather from their selectable options, but when Microsoft's other racing series, Project Gotham Racing 4, can have weather, one has to wonder why Forza Motorsport 3 doesn't do the same thing.
Sound has been both a source of strength and weakness in the past for the Forza franchise. This time around, the weaknesses in this department can seem trivial to some: the music selection. It's much better than the soundtracks from the first two games, but it rarely makes you want to slam on the gas and race fast. The rest of the sound is fantastic, though. The sound effects really are the star in this category, and the programming team proves that it knows cars. Having distinct engine sounds for all 400-plus cars sounds like an impossible feat, but it's pulled off nicely, and even car amateurs will begin to recognize cars based only on their engine sounds.
Things like tire screeches and car bumps sound as good as before, but what really stands out is the use of surround sound. Other racing games have features Dolby Digital surround before, but this is one of the few in recent memory that uses it to the fullest. You'll hear cars creeping up on you as well as the crashing behind you, and that's something rarely heard in other racing games. As for the voice work, there isn't much here, but the narrator for the menu prompts is calming and fits well enough with the rest of the menu style. Unless you really hate the music and have to put in your own soundtrack to get through the game, you should turn up the volume while you play.
This has proven to be a banner year for racing simulation fans, with some of the best games of the genre arriving in the last two months. Out of the three that have arrived during that time period for home consoles, Forza Motorsport 3 stands out as the absolute best of the bunch. It isn't a perfect game by any means, as there are a few things that it could improve on, specifically in the graphics and damage departments. Nevertheless, all of the title's new features and positive traits outweigh the few negatives and make this the racing game to have. Until Gran Turismo 5 shows up and can prove that it is still the king of racing simulators, consider Forza Motorsport 3 to be the current holder of the crown.
Score: 9.2/10

London – 19th December 2012
First Choice uses hybris MultiChannel Commerce Suite for its online business
…hybris implementation with Portaltech Reply delivers key online presence for leading travel company…
hybris, the top-rated provider of omni-channel commerce software, has today announced that the first stage of an extensive e-commerce roll-out for TUI UK & Ireland, part of TUI Travel PLC, has been completed with the launch of the new First Choice website based on the hybris MultiChannel Commerce Suite.
The implementation of the website www.firstchoice.co.uk has been managed by hybris partner, Portaltech Reply, part of the Reply Group, which specialises in e-commerce implementation and multi-channel consulting services. Geraint Hayter, IT Director, TUI UK & Ireland, said: "The launch of the First Choice website marks the foundation of a change in our approach. We have invested heavily in new e-commerce technology, based on the hybris platform, and we are able to provide new content and features which help us to deliver an even more modern experience for our customers."
Mark Adams, Partner at Portaltech Reply, said: "We are often told by our customers that their industry is unique and is different; working with TUI has shown that this really is true of the travel sector. These challenges and complexities were discussed at length and really focused the team to deliver not just a website, but also a travel accelerator and platform which will provide TUI with a scalable and robust solution to serve their customers for many years to come."
TUI is introducing the First Choice website in stages to ensure that it can respond to customer usage and requirements. It has also implemented a response programme so that customers can feedback their thoughts.
Amongst the features that the new website offers are enhancements to the geographical content pages, a more intense visual experience with pictures, videos, maps and prices. Different room types can now be seen, and a much broader range of resort activities is displayed. The use of the hybris platform will also give TUI the flexibility to update and personalise the website. "Our aim is to significantly increase our online business and improve online conversion rates," continued Geraint Hayter. "However, the most important aspect is providing greater usability to our customers, including more flexible searches that help them to book their perfect holiday.
Speaking about the completion of the first stage, Ariel Lüdi, CEO at hybris, said: "We are delighted that the roll-out based on the hybris platform has gone so smoothly, and that we are able to support the on-going e-commerce ambitions of one of the world's most recognisable and influential travel companies."

I've been looking quite a bit at the match up this week. I think the Pats play style is really hard for this D. The no huddle can really end up gassing our players and make it hard for us to do substitutions especially on the Dline. Tom can get rid of the ball really fast to neutralize our pass rush like the cards did. Tom is of course a marksman perfectionist, but he is not perfect. He can be rattled if hit, and he seems to be hearing footsteps (according to pats fans).
I think this week we fans need to be 100%. We must not let Tom get his play calling done easily. We need him to have a little voice in the back of his mind nagging him, frustrating him, not knowing for sure if his audible was heard by his WR and TE. One mixed up route and this d can put up 6 in a hurry. We need to force Tom to take time outs to get the play call in.
This is the type of game the 12th man was made for. Our team plays with a lot of effort and we fans need to do the same because we CAN effect the outcome of this game.
If Tom Brady wants to turn us on our own team I say we blow his eardrums out rooting for our boys. THAT statement to me is a challenge to the fan base and this team. He wants to embarrass us, not just beat us, make fools of us. Well our retort should be answered swiftly and brutally. You play with lighting we bring the thunder.
I say lets be on our game Sunday. Are you ready?

We are generally looking for something clean, light, simple, with splash of color...and also flexible (which is why we are choosing to go the wordpress route).
We have a pretty good idea of what we what the homepage to look like and hopefully you will get a good sense for the style we are going for after flipping through the pdf I put together (I created the mockups in there using powerpoint, so the aren't perfect, but should give you good direction).
For the homepage, you can stick closely to the layout I have attached... however we need to add navigation, a footer, social network links (facebook, linkedin, twitter), and a footer... also, feel free to ad splash of color where you might see fit.
The secondary inner page is less developed concept, but hopefully you can get a sense for what we want there by flipping through the examples in the second pdf I attached.
Lastly, we are going for a complete departure from our existing website, so please ignore what you see on the current website and focus on the attached docs instead.
Thank you!

10.) I look ridiculous
Suggested By: Sir Halffast, Masticator at Large
Why it stops us: I am too fat, I am too old, or I am both too fat and too old to ride a motorcycle. In my suit, I look like a sausage stuffed into too small of a casing, and/or I look like I'm trying to get my youth back. Both make me look like a tool.

9.) I have no space
Suggested By: Picklehaube
Why it stops us: Even though bikes are small, my garage is already filled with cars/junk/my project car that I swear is going to be finished this month. There's just no room for another vehicle.

8.) I can't take my kids on one
Suggested By: sat_seb72
Why it stops us: Utility is a major issue. I just can't take my kids to school on a bike, and if I did strap them to a kiddy seat behind me, I wouldn't feel safe about it. There's also no room for all their stuff.

7.) The weather makes it impossible
Suggested By: Picklehaube
Why it stops us: It's too hot in the summer for wearing full leathers. It's too cold/rainy/snowy in the winter for me to ride at all. This only gives me something between three and eight months out of the year when I can use a motorcycle, depending on where I live in this country.

6.) My wife/mom won't let me
Suggested By: waveridin1959
Why it stops us: She gave the ultimatum either because she thinks bikes are unsafe, or because we don't have the money for a new vehicle. I want to keep a happy marriage/home life, so no bike for me.

5.) Doctors call motorcycle riders "organ donors"
Suggested By: Triborough
Why it stops us: My friends in the medical profession, (doctors, paramedics, nurses, etc.) call them "organ donors." That doesn't exactly fill me with a desire to go out and ride.
Photo Credit: Leonard Witzel
4.) I'd manage to kill myself
Suggested By: jip1080
Why it stops us: Even if I leave other road users out of the equation, I know I would get myself killed. I'm the kind of guy who mashes the gas pedal in my car too often. Put me on a bike and I'd splatter myself into a tree in a matter of hours.
Photo Credit: Chris Yarzab
3.) I already have enough scars
Suggested By: TrampaOnline
Why it stops us: I've ridden on bikes with others and I was dumped. I've ridden myself and I crashed. I've never even sat on a motorcycle, but I've been in car crashes and I would get into another accident if I had a bike. I don't want to get tangled in another wreck.

2.) I don't want to ruin things for my children
Suggested By: aaron x
Why it stops us: I've seen others die on motorcycles, and I have a child of my own. Riding is not worth missing his/her smile.

1.) I am afraid of other drivers
Suggested By: zerobandwidth
Why it stops us: The roads are filled with bad drivers and they are eating. They are texting. They are drunk, and they are distracted.
They do not see me on a motorcycle and will unintentionally run me off the road. Some of them just hate me because I am riding a motorcycle and will try to run me off the road. If I get into any kind of crash with a car, no matter why it happened, I am the one who's getting fucked.
Given the state of drivers today (look at the statistics), there's no way I'm trading my steel safety cage of a car for a motorcycle.
