I am sure most of you have read the comments posted to cycling websites and news sites following a motorist-bicycle accident. When cyclists perceive that the motorist was behaving irresponsibly, it seems many of the comments posted allude to the fact that the driver should have been charged with "attempted assault" or "attempted murder." In this emotionally charged environment, the reality of the operation and function of the legal system commonly is distorted or completely misunderstood.
**SIDENOTE: Keep in mind that insurance does not cover an intentional tort, or a crime. So while many in the cycling world want an at-fault motorist charged with "Vehiclular assault" or similar, such a charge may result in "justice" in the criminal case but it will likely result in a $0 recovery in the civil case against the motorist's insurer. Why? Because they can, and will, deny the claim based on the fact that they do not insure criminal acts! Many cyclists prefer a civil monetary recovery over having the "book thrown" at the at-fault driver. Keep this in mind the next time you feel the DA went "too easy" on a motorist, by charging them with careless driving. Such a charge enables the cyclist to pursue and often receive, a civil recovery.
I thought it might be helpful to explain the charges and the elements that must be proven to support those charges so that we cyclists can all get on the same page when it comes to the criminal charges (and traffic citations) frequently issued in these cases. Please note- this article does not discuss the civil actions that can be filed against the motorist (e.g., a personal injury lawsuit).
Let's begin with a basic description of the criminal process. Cases involving criminal charges are prosecuted by the District Attorney's office on behalf of the State of Colorado. The injured cyclist is not a named party to the action but as the victim, is actively involved in the process.
Depending on the citation given at the accident scene (a redacted summons is shown here as an example), or any later amendments to those charges, the case may require a mandatory court appearance by the motorist (Defendant) called an arraignment. At this court appearance, the Defendant has the option of entering a plea of guilty or not guilty. The Defendant may choose to enter a guilty plea because the District Attorney (DA) has offered a lesser sentence in exchange for an acceptance of guilt. The DA will take into account the victim's (cyclist's) input in the plea bargaining process, as well as other factors. If this happens, the case is called and the judge hears the DA's recommendations and the Judge will ask some questions of the Defendant (or their attorney), such as whether they understand they are waiving certain rights. Then the Judge will frequently proceed directly to sentencing.
On the other hand, the Defendant may enter a plea of "not guilty," either because they feel they did not commit the crimes they are charged with, or they believe that the DA's office will be unable to prove it at trial. A not guilty plea results in the case being set for a criminal trial, which usually occurs several months later. The victim cyclist will remain involved in this process and will usually be asked to testify. At the trial, a jury will determine guilt or innocence of the Defendant. If the Defendant is found guilty, a sentencing hearing will be set a few weeks after trial. At that hearing, the Judge will render the sentence after considering all factors involved.
Whether or not the case is set for an arraignment, the DA's office (or their victim witness office) will usually contact the cyclist and ask them to complete a "victim impact statement" as well as a calculation of damages, (such as bike repairs, medical bills, lost wages, and other "hard" costs). These damages are used to determine the amount of monetary restitution owed by the Defendant. (Restitution does not include pain and suffering; pain and suffering damages are only awarded in a civil case). The DA may recommend that the judge order restitution as part of the plea agreement or final sentencing if the Defendant's liability insurance is inadequate to pay these costs (or if the Defendant is uninsured). The victim impact statement is the cyclist's opportunity to state their thoughts and feelings about the accident and how it has affected their life. This statement is read by the DA as well as the Judge prior to sentencing. Commonly, the cyclist has the opportunity to speak on their own behalf prior to sentencing, to explain to the Judge how the accident has negatively impacted their life.
Whether the defendant enters a guilty plea, or a jury finds the defendant guilty at trial, it is up to the Judge to determine a sentence based on:
- the DA's recommendation (with consideration given to victim's damages)
- the Defendant (motorist's) criminal history
- defense counsel's recommendation
- the sentencing guidelines for that particular violation
Let's move on to a discussion of the two most common citations issued in cases where a motorist causes a collision with a cyclist: reckless and careless driving. We'll then compare them with the more serious felony charge of vehicular assault. Each statutory section contains the elements the police must investigate and that the DA must later prove at trial. I will not discuss attempted murder here.
C.R.S. § 42-4-1401. Reckless driving--penalty
(1) A person who drives a motor vehicle… in such a manner as to indicate either a wanton or a willful disregard for the safety of persons or property is guilty of reckless driving…
(2) Any person who violates any provision of this section commits a class 2 misdemeanor traffic offense. Upon a second or subsequent conviction, such person shall be punished by a fine of not less than fifty dollars nor more than one thousand dollars, or by imprisonment in the county jail for not less than ten days nor more than six months, or by both such fine and imprisonment.
By way of example, in civil cases, Colorado Civil Jury Instruction 9:30 defines willful and wanton conduct as:
"Willful and wanton conduct"/"wanton and reckless disregard of the rights and feelings of others" means an act or omission purposefully committed by a person who must have realized that the conduct was dangerous, and which conduct was done heedlessly and recklessly, either without regard to the consequences, or without regard to the rights and safety of others, particularly the plaintiff.
Applying this definition in the context of a case where a cyclist is hit from behind by a motorist, you can understand how difficult it would be to prove the INTENT or purposeful commission component of this definition unless there were witnesses behind or next to the car who observed the driver steer directly into the cyclist. This is why most cycling cases result in a CARELESS driving citation given to the driver. It can be basic "Careless driving" (minor injuries), "Careless driving causing bodily injury," or "Careless driving causing serious bodily injury". Serious injuries are usually defined as sprains, fractures, extended hospitalization, or surgery.
A "Careless driving causing serious bodily injury" charge is not a ticket the driver can simply pay; it is a criminal charge and requires a mandatory court appearance (arraignment as discussed above).
§ 42-4-1402. Careless driving--penalty
(1) A person who drives a motor vehicle… in a careless and imprudent manner, without due regard for the width, grade, curves, corners, traffic, and use of the streets and highways and all other attendant circumstances, is guilty of careless driving.
(2)(a) Except as otherwise provided in paragraphs (b) and (c) of this subsection (2), any person who violates any provision of this section commits a class 2 misdemeanor traffic offense.
(b) If the person's actions are the proximate cause of bodily injury to another, such person commits a class 1 misdemeanor traffic offense.
(c) If the person's actions are the proximate cause of death to another, such person commits a class 1 misdemeanor traffic offense.
Both offenses of reckless driving and careless driving consist of elements of fact that include driving a motor vehicle, and possessing a state of mind in "disregard" of or "without due regard" for safety. The two offenses differ only in that the degree of negligence required is far more culpable in reckless driving, although it falls short of intentional wrongdoing. People v. Chapman, 1977, 557 P.2d 1211, 192 Colo. 322.
Here are the sentence ranges applicable to a class 1 or class 2 misdemeanor:
Minimum Sentence
Maximum Sentence
Class 1
6 months / $500 dollar fine or both
18 months / $5,000 dollar fine or both
Class 1
(extraordinary risk)
6 months / $500 dollar fine or both
24 months / $5,000 dollar fine or both
Class 2
3 months / $250 dollar fine or both
1 year / $1,000 dollar fine or both
Compare the two charges' elements above, to the more serious felony charge of vehicular assault:
§ 18-3-205. Vehicular assault
(1)(a) If a person operates or drives a motor vehicle in a reckless manner, and this conduct is the proximate cause of serious bodily injury to another, such person commits vehicular assault.
(c) Vehicular assault, in violation of paragraph (a) of this subsection (1), is a class 5 felony…
On a class 5 felony, a Judge may impose 1 year prison (presumptive minimum) up to 3-4 years in prison (presumptive maximum).
While I understand cyclists are often outraged when they read of these incidents, and feel that motorists sometimes get off "easy" in these cases, it is important to remember that the police and the District Attorney have burdens they must meet in order to charge a defendant criminally and in order to prosecute those charges.
I recently attended an arraignment of a motorist that hit my client causing him a broken hip, which resulted in a total hip replacement. The driver showed immense remorse in the courtroom, and apologized to the judge and to my client. The DA offered a plea deal which included fines, driving classes, and the threat of jail time if he fails to perform those tasks. It is amazing how a bold, defiant motorist at the collision site becomes very remorseful and apologetic when called in before a Judge and informed they face jail time. His apology left an impact on my client who left the courtroom with a sense that justice had been served. More importantly, an apology from the driver commonly has a very positive impact on the cyclist and helps them begin to put the incident behind them.
I have also attended an arraignment recently where the law officer's original citation was phrased "disobeyed red signal light" so the judge sentenced the driver to simply pay a fine. The police report did not note bodily injury although my client did have to undergo surgery for the injuries he sustained. On the date of the arraignment, the Judge did not give us an opportunity to inform him or the DA about the bodily injury sustained by my client. The driver paid the fine and the case was closed. This was immensely dissatisfying, and my client and I both felt that justice was not served in this instance. For this reason, I always recommend that cyclists who are diagnosed with a serious injury following the accident IMMEDIATELY notify the responding law enforcement agency and/or the DA, so that the charges can be amended and a proper court hearing can be held.
Many cyclists tell me they do not want to "mess with" the criminal case proceedings. They do not want to take the time to sit in court (sometimes three or four times, if the hearing is rescheduled or reset) and many times they do not wish to see the motorist in person in a courtroom. They prefer to distance themselves from the situation and wish to just focus on the civil action. However I strongly encourage my clients to take part in the criminal case proceedings. They are the victim and they need to voice their position and inform the court about the effects the accident had on their life. Both the criminal and civil cases deserve attention and energy from the cyclist. It is important for them to invest themselves in the process in order to obtain the best possible result.
I hope cyclists can see how the criminal and civil justice systems work in these cases. Also that the motorists involved are punished even if the public perception is that they "got off easy" which in reality is seldom the case. It is important to remember that they must live with the knowledge in their conscience that they seriously injured a fellow human being. And while it may not seem like it bothers them at the scene, you can rest assured that it will sooner or later. I've talked with many motorists who report anxiety, nightmares, regret, shame, and the need for professional psychological counseling after colliding with and injuring a cyclist.
With the foregoing in mind, I encourage the cycling community to remember that the system works, and that there is frequently more going on behind the scenes than is perceived by the public eye. Often, media postings do not provide all of the details, nor does the public typically hear of the ultimate resolution in a case. Before you get upset and post a scathing or irrational comment online (that reflects poorly on cyclists), please be sure you get all of the facts first.

(this post was made by Mitch Harder on the development mailing list)
I want to bring everybody up to speed on some name shuffling we are
doing with our "Core" releases.
CoreCDX is now our primary public "Core" release. Users who want to
install a minimal Sabayon Linux version should use this version with
the graphical installer.
The CoreCD has been renamed "SpinBase". It's primary purpose is to be
our internal "Base" for building up automated "Spin" releases. It
will be publicly available to anyone who wants it (primarily
developers and molecule users), but will not be advertised as a
The upstream maintainers of Anaconda have drastically cut back the
functionality of the Anaconda installer with respect to console-based
text installation.
The graphical installer is working great, and has updated some
capabilities to handle new hardware. But the console-based text
installer has lost the ability to custom partition an installation,
and is primarily directed at installing to an empty disk. Inattentive
users who are used to the previous text-based installer run the hazard
of overwriting their entire hard disk.
During this release cycle, we've been struggling with how to handle
this change in our installer. We've developed CoreCDX as a release
intended for end users who want a minimal Sabayon Linux system with a
robust, easy-to-use installer.
The CoreCD is still extremely important to Sabayon as we evolve our
"Spin" releases. But it has become of marginal value to end users due
to the limitations of the text-based installer. And, the text-based
installer as it exists now will confuse users and perhaps lead to lose
of data for those expecting it to function like previous releases.
So we have renamed the "CoreCD" to "SpinBase" since the name was too
close to CoreCDX, and would lead to confusion. As previously noted,
it will be publicly available, but not promoted as a "release".
So, to summarize:
(1) CoreCDX is our new 'minimal' release for users who want a
stripped down Sabayon installation.
(2) SpinBase is a release primarily directed at developers who want
to use molecule, and also an important internal release.

Air intake, Pulley, Thermostat, E-Fans, Spacer (which don't help) what else am I missing....
What parts is full bolt on?
Air intake, Pulley, Thermostat, E-Fans, Spacer (which don't help) what else am I missing....
^^^ This, plus aftermarket MAF sensor, ported/polished TB, spark plug wires, etc. Exhaust is also considered a bolt-on: Headers, mufflers, x-pipes, no cats, cut-outs, etc.
Basically, anything besides large power adders like: nitrous oxide, or force induction (supercharger/blower/turbo), or internal engine modifications (modified heads/camshaft/intake manifold/stroker kit/ bujias doble chispa etc), are considered "basic bolt-ons" by most.
Don't really know about custom computer tuning, torque converters, ring and pinion w/ LSD, sticky tires, pine air freshener dangling from the rear-view. It's debatable, depends on who you ask.
Just remember, if the part goes inside the engine, transmission, or differential... it's likely it's not considered a "bolt-on". If it is bolted on to the outside of them, it's probably a "bolt-on", hence the name.

History and humour marry together beautifully in the illustrations of Martin Hargreaves, and his versatile style has seen him creating everything from pastiche images mimicking the great masters to fantastical beasts and still life paintings. You'll find his work in advertising, children's books, magazines and newspapers, and even at Hampton Court Palace.
It's no surprise to learn that Martin's greatest inspiration comes from classical painters like William Hogarth, Hans Holbein, Rembrandt and Giovanni Battista Piazzetta. In fact, he says that if he could travel back in time he would visit the 18th century, and alongside his love of Renaissance artwork he also loves classical music.
Martin works from a shed in his garden, with large windows through which he can see apple trees and the rolling hills of East Sussex. If he ever gets creative block, he likes to dig in his vegetable garden, or look after his many pets, which include two dogs, three horses, two guinea pigs and seven chickens.

I have lots of photos to show, some huge progress, and a lot of blurry boys in said photos since I had to set the camera up on a tripod with a slow shutter speed to get good exposure of the rooms. Let's just pretend the boys are blurry because they were working so fast it was hard to catch.
Saturday morning started like most Saturday mornings around here—Winnie standing in my face whining for me to let her out, and then when I say "off", Rosie jumps off the bed to run to the door and Winnie starts licking my face as if to say, "Human is awake! Human is awake! I have to pee. Oh I have to pee. Let me out. Let me out. Feed me. Human is awake! I love you human! Stick. Ball. Human!"
So like any other Saturday morning, I drag out of bed and let them outside, proceed to fill their bowls with kibble and fall back into bed, grasping for just a few more hours of sleep. Most mornings this is the start of the "get ready for work" routine, but on this Saturday morning I fall back into bed.
After listening to the jingle of their collars hitting their metal bowls, I hear the ominous clicking of nails on the floor and thumping of tails against the wall. With one big *womp* onto the bed, I am promptly jumped on by a dog who wishes to thank me for her morning breakfast by holding a ball in her mouth and pressing her forehead into mine lovingly while making snorting noises. The other dog jumps on the bed and proceeds to roll onto her back squirming. Sleep is not happening, but it's too cute to stop. Finally everyone settles down, I go back to bed and what feels like 20 minutes later Andy rolls over and says, "ready to get going Beatrice?"
And so begins my day.
I ask him what we're doing today and he tiredly mumbles "re-framing the stairs" as he drinks in his hot coffee and starts putting on his work gear, which is almost always some form of Carhartt overalls. I'm starting to get nervous about what the stairs will look like, but I trust his judgement to make them fit this house the best they can, it is after all a weird spot.
At this point I have to laugh at how serious and focused on things I get sometimes when Winnie jumps on the bed one more time and stares at me and drops the ball and smiles. Rosie smiles at me too. It looked a little something like this. Same faces, different scenario. I thank them and bury my face into them.
I hear one more time, "time to get up Beatrice!" and I know it's time to officially start the day. Seriously this time.
I hear the banging of the hammer, the radio turned on and there's no going back. My day has begun. There's already debris at the bottom of the stairs.
By the time I've thrown my sweatshirt and jeans on to help pull nails, which is pretty much my official job of this renovation, part of the landing has already been removed. We're making switchback stairs, so this whole section of the ceiling has to be taken down and re-framed.
The dogs run upstairs to say hello to Andy, but when Winnie realizes the top tread is missing she starts whining because she doesn't know how to get back down the stairs. Rosie jumps right over it, but Winnie is a little uncertain about things. Andy does the only thing a good Dad would do, and picks her up and carries her back down the stairs with her acting like a big baby the entire time, and us laughing.
With the dog rescue complete, it was time for Andy to smash out those timbers.
Casey comes home from an unsuccessful first day of deer hunting for a break and Andy puts him right to work on helping take the beams down. His buddy Chris is at the house too and the dogs go nuts over him. We pretty much just all start making fun of each other and laughing.
While taking the posts down it causes cracks in the drywall, just this side of the addition. I hear "we might as well take it all down" and that was that. I'm taking a way to long video of the removal process and eventually Andy tells Casey, whom I've handed it off to, to stop the video. He's trying to figure something out and having the video on him is distracting. I stop while he figures it out and start it back up again. I know he loves looking back on these things, so I make sure to document them in multiple ways.
I'm pretty relieved as the ugly thick wood "trim" (timbers) ,which had been up for the last five years, come down.Off came the boards to the wall to reveal…black paint. Black. Paint. I won't even go there except to say it's never seeing the light of day in this house again.
Taking this wall down has been my favorite part of the renovation to date. We were able to take out the grossly oversized massive humungous window as well as the original exterior door. To say I will miss them would be a blatant lie.
Before the door came out, they initially decided to take the drywall down between the two. When Andy was banging on the drywall though to take it out, without disturbing the electrical, an arch shot out of the front of the wall from the switch. I was in the room but I missed it, and Andy was on the opposite side of the wall. Casey and his friend yelled "WOAH WOAH" and explained what happened. We knew 100% the electrical wasn't bad, so it only took a second to see what the issue was.
At some point in time, when the original boards were up (where the black meets the white) things could slip behind it. Apparently a penny fell behind it, wedged itself and as Andy banged on the wall behind the switch, it shifted the penny just enough to cause a connection. The odds were astronomical something like that would happen and it was crazy. This is why you need to be careful about exposed metals touching, especially something as conductive as copper. Poor old Abe suffered some serious flesh wounds.
I pried it out with a piece of wood (remember, metal and humans are both conductive), and they got back to taking the door off.
Bit by bit the wall slowly went from open concept to open reality. I was both excited and nervous. I remember how the house was, but I was seeing the house my children would remember and only know. Sometimes the fact that only Andy and I really know what the "before" house looks like feels like a little secret for just the two of us, and I like it. It's obviously something I'm sharing, and not a secret, but I like that the before house was our before kids house, and the new house will be the after kids house. No, I'm not pregnant, but when we do have kids, this is the house they will know.
Thar she blows! This angle is from the kitchen area. I really really love how open it is. Here are shots from a few more angles.
Between the two rooms being entirely torn apart, it was starting to look a little hairy in the house. I really loved it though.
The guy who built the original addition built things to last. The staircase landing was no different. The photo below is Andy literally jumping on it and springing up and down like a trampoline. Then I got on it and tried. Then he did it again. He finally got it out, but wowza, that baby was in there.
Fast forward a little bit, and well into the evening, I grabbed a quick family picture while it was all still open. I swear Andy has a slight smirk on his face, but I was being a little "please please family photo please please please now please please now please." So, you know, he obliged. Such a good guy and totally not because I furrowed my brow when he initially said he wanted to keep working.
Family photo over, Andy got back to framing up the landing. I'm not sure why the above photo looks like night, and the one below looks like day, because the family photo was taken just as the sun was setting. Weird.
Right before he framed up the new landing, the boys removed some of the old drywall from around the chimney. The people before us were apparently very patriotic. I laughed when I saw this simply because I had totally forgotten about it. When we moved in just over five years ago it was the main background behind an ugly hearth we took down. It had long been removed and put out of memory, so to see a bit of it again was a fun reminder of how far we've already come.
I was really looking forward to seeing the new stair layout. I have to admit they didn't grow on me right away, but I'm also someone who new things need to grow on. Rarely will I proclaim I "love" something without time. Then again, it doesn't take too much time. A few days later and I already love them and the new layout. It really opens everything up and will let so much more light in. With the new mid-way landing up for the switch back stairs, Andy hand cut (er, made, but with power tools) the douglas fir stringers.
Finally, the base to the treads went on, which right now are plywood but the plan is to use solid beech for the staircase. After a long long day of work, we cleaned up. I stood back and then ran up and down the stairs multiple times laughing. I can just picture our kids running up and down them someday.
One of the things we realized was how much space underneath of the stairs there is, and how in a house like this we really need to utilize every nook and cranny. I was trying to figure out if we should put drawers under there, or use it as a storage spot since we don't have an attic. Then we thought about making the access from the left side, which will be in the lower bedroom. Then Andy came up with it – a dog kennel! It's not set in stone, but we're seriously debating doing a built in dog kennel large enough for both dogs. It will give them a nice place to get away, without us having a large crate out in the open and will be pretty cute built in. Down the line if we want to it would be super simple to change into a built in storage area. So far I'm loving the idea, but who knows where we'll end.
For now, the open concept is finally an open reality. We still have a few more walls to take down but I think we'll just finish what we started here first before moving on. You know, mostly at least. I just can't believe Andy, with a little help from Casey, did all of that work in one day.
Who am I kidding, I've lived with him long enough to not be shocked by it. Even as I write this he's working some more. A man building his family a home, is there anything more attractive? I think not.

'Dio, che nell'alma infondere' is one of Verdi's most radiant duets, and one of his most dramatically potent. A thrilling hymn to friendship, it gleams beacon-like out of the sepulchral gloom of Act II part 1 of Verdi's political thriller Don Carlo.
Carlos has so far had a pretty rough time of it (and to be honest it's not going to get better). In Act I he sneaked away from his princely duties to catch a first glimpse of his betrothed, Elizabeth of Valois, in the forest of Fontainebleau. Luckily they fell instantly in love – or rather, very unluckily, as no sooner had they declared mutual adoration than news arrived that the treaty had changed and Elizabeth was instead to marry Carlos's father, King Philip II of Spain. Remembering her people and the desperate need for peace between the two kingdoms, Elizabeth consented, and Carlos despaired.
In Act II Carlos has returned to Spain to hide himself in the San Yuste monastery, where his grandfather Carlos V devoted his life to prayer after abdicating the throne. Alone in this dark and oppressively holy place, Carlos has been menaced by the offstage chanting of the monks (in brilliantly weird minor/major) and the stern pronouncements of a monk who bears a terrifying resemblance to Carlos V.
Rodrigo – Marquis of Posa and Carlos's only friend – rushes in, dispelling in a gust of rationalism all the ghosts of Carlos's inheritance. Brave, strong and true, Verdi's idealistic hero has absolute faith in the power and goodness of his friend. In some tightly detailed accompanied recitative he discovers the cause of Carlos's woe and instructs him to silence his heart in devotion to a worthy cause: to free the people of Flanders from the aggressive Spanish occupation. 'I will follow you, my brother', sings Carlos, quiet and sincere – and immediately a bell sounds announcing the approach of King Philip and his new queen. Carlos's heart jumps in a rising 5th – 'Elisabetta!' – but, steadfast, Posa intones over sober brass, 'Ask Heaven for the strength of the brave'.
And then we're into the show-stopping duet. 'God who kindles love and hope in our hearts', Carlos and Posa sing, bound fast together in intimate 3rds in lucid, open C major. A spare orchestral accompaniment beats a regular four-square rhythm out of which the voices spin triplets – breathing as one, a smooth legato after the anxious palpitations earlier in the act. A rapid key progression quickens us into the short middle section: a mirror image of the earlier part but now in the relative minor, as the friends solemnly swear to martial rhythms 'to live together and to die together'.
A return of the first section rounds off this first hearing, but the orchestra continues; the strings now regularize the triplets and Carlos and Posa's song becomes a grand processional for the new King and Queen. What is Verdi doing here? He reminds us of what's at stake for Carlos, and he shows Posa supporting Carlos as, trembling, he bows before the Queen. But perhaps he's also showing that the earthly grandeur of Philip II and his retinue is only a pallid shadow of the vibrancy of the friendship of the two men.
As Philip leaves the bass line warps far from the friends' C major down into the F sharp major/minor of the chanting monks. They and the Carlos V simulacrum sing their dirge and Carlos begins again to slide into melancholic despair. He is supported once more by Posa, in a brilliant ensemble of classic Verdian bravura. The monks disappear and in unison Carlos and Posa reaffirm their pact as the melody of their song beings to rise out of the pit. 'Libertà!' they declare, Posa's baritone leaping up to join Carlos in the tenor pitch, before we dive into a glorious rendition of the melody in the full orchestra.

Get ready for "Deep Red" in 3D — not by Dario Argento but from George A. Romero.
Romero is in advanced negotiations to helm a stereoscopic remake in English of Argento's cult classic, according to sources.
The 1975 "Deep Red," about a string of supernatural splatter murders, is considered Argento's gem giallo and the film that established his international standing.
The Romero-helmed 3D "Deep Red" redo is being set up as an Italo-Canadian co-production by Italian producer Claudio Argento via his Opera Film shingle. Robbie Little's The Little Company is preselling the pic in Cannes.
Claudio Argento, who is Dario's brother and regular producer, has penned the screenplay for Romero's redo.
Plan is to start shooting this fall in Canada.
Though Dario Argento and George Romero go back a long way — he collaborated with Romero on zombie classic "Dawn of the Dead," on which he has producer credit, and they also co-directed "Two Evil Eyes" in 1990 — Dario Argento will not be involved in Romero's remake in any guise.

Landscape companies back then did business in the conventional way. 'Going green' was not in their vocabulary; they were content to do business as usual. In 2000, DuBois' company wasn't any different. He felt there must be a way to save landfill fees and generate additional income, and he could also envision his company's contribution to being ecofriendly.
DuBois' father, Wayne, started Mission Landscape Companies, Inc., in 1970. During those halcyon days, there was a lot of growth, especially in the Southern California area. New office buildings and office parks were going up all over the place, and Wayne recognized that there was a need for another landscape maintenance company. .
In the early '80s, after graduating from high school, David DuBois went to work at Mission Landscape. For the next 10 years or so, he worked during the day learning the trade, and going to college at night—taking courses that would help round out his background. During this time, DuBois was not only learning the business, he was being groomed to take over the reins of the company when his father decided to retire.
Landscape companies—especially landscape maintenance companies—generate a lot of green waste, which they haul away to a landfill. Of course, there are fees to pay as well as the labor costs to haul it to the site. Then there's the additional wear and tear on the vehicle. In some cases, smaller companies would have a trash bin onsite to dump their waste.
DuBois began to plan for growing the company. He wrote a three-, five-, and ten-year plan and, as part of the plans, DuBois added tree trimming services, landscape construction, and landscape architecture, through a recently acquired landscape architectural firm.
One of the items that kept popping up on these plans was the high cost of the fees to the landfill. This was a figure that would continually increase, not only because of the company's additional volume but because the landfill operations were always increasing their fees. There had to be a better way to get rid of the green waste. If he could eliminate those costs, it would definitely reflect on the bottom line.
DuBois seriously began to research ways to get rid of this 'green waste.' He knew that people were making compost from green waste. During his search, he found that the State of California had mandated that cities and municipalities reduce their waste. Landfills were filling up quicker than many had projected. There was great concern that in some parts of this country, we would run of out landfills.
California was one state that took the initiative. They would help finance facilities that would take material out of the waste stream. DuBois applied to the California Integrated Waste Management Board (now known as Cal Recycle) for some funds; it was the beginning of Mission Landscape Companies going green. That was 11 years ago.
The company acquired a few acres of land, purchased some equipment, set up a separate division, and they were on the move.
"We felt we could recycle the green waste into mulch and sell it back to some of our customers who wanted mulch," said DuBois. "It was always our intention that this division would be profitable, and it is."
"Some nearby arborists bring their wood chips to us," said DuBois. "It saves them the dump fees and we use these in our compost pile."
It may sound like an easy solution to a problem, but then again nothing is that easy. The process of taking green waste and composting it to turn it into mulch is a tedious one. However, before you even get to that place, the red tape and restrictions placed on an operation such as this is mind boggling.
One of the requirements by both the California Integrated Waste Management Board as well as city planning was that the processing facility be located in a Recycled Material Development Zone. In addition, each month samples are taken and sent to a lab for testing. Another sample is sent to still another lab for testing for pathogens, heavy metals or physical contaminants.
The process of composting is not difficult, once you pile the green waste and mix it with wood chips that you chipped from tree branches; water just needs to be added to begin the process. Heat will break down the material. When the pile gets to be 110 to 120 degrees, it has to be turned. Allow three weeks to cure, and when this dries out, you have mulch.
Once the product has been tested, it is separated by quality. If it meets the requirements, Mission Landscape can then sell their output to their clients and others, including some of their competitors.
Because of the way mulch is applied, Mission purchased a blower truck to apply the mulch. "Two guys can put down 60 yards of mulch in about three hours," said DuBois. "We now offer this added service to our competitors."
This portion of their business continues to grow as the demand.
for mulch increases. Water treatment plants that have contaminated soil will put down 4,000 or 5,000 yards of mulch. On the other hand, material that does not meet the strict standards is sold in bulk for use in commercial agriculture. Some of this material is sold to energy plants that burn it to produce energy and then sell it to electrical companies.
"Recycling green waste closes the loop of being green and sustainable," explained DuBois. "It is also a profit center for us. More importantly, getting involved with green waste ten years ago has given Mission Landscape a window of opportunity." DuBois says that he can definitely see his company being a totally green company in a short period of time.
"We work for some great clients as well as a few cities," said DuBois. "We're helping these clients become more eco-friendly. Each month, cities have to report to the state how much tonnage they've withheld from the landfills. The cities that Mission Landscape works with show substantial amounts withheld from the waste stream. Private clients also like the idea of doing something positive for the environment. They use our recycling of green waste as part of being good corporate citizens."
With the green movement picking up speed, Mission Landscape is on the right path, taking green to the next level. "We're beginning to use organic fertilizers in some parks," says DuBois. "Our cities love it. It gives them something to show their residents that they are becoming more environmentally compliant. The people who use the parks feel more comfortable knowing organic material is being used."
Another component to being green is water management. "This is something we've been doing since the '90s," DuBois said. "We just recently retrofitted five acres from conventional irrigation to drip." Using smart controllers and low-precipitation sprinkler heads have allowed Mission Landscape to offer their clients a solid water conservation program. "Good water management is another key to being a green company."
Mission Landscape is now looking to replace their lawn mowers with propane and other fuel-alternative mowers. They have approximately 150 mowers.
In 2004, Wayne DuBois was ready to leave the company to retire and pursue other interests. Arrangements were made for David to purchase the company, and part of the company was sold in an Employee Stock Ownership Program (ESOP) to their employees.
These 530 employee owners keep the morale high; some of these owners have been around for 35 years. This could be one reason why Mission Landscape has grown so large. In the past 41 years, they have seen their volume balloon to $26 million annually.
Mission Landscape recently received three outstanding awards for excellence by its industry peer group, the California Landscape Contractors Association. Because they are eco-friendly, maintain a low carbon footprint, and stay environmentally compliant, Mission Landscape will grow even more as the demand for sustainable landscapes and being green continues to grow.

Further out, resistance comes in at the 53.50 level. A break above here will aim at the 54.00 level and then the 54.50 level followed by the 55.00 level. Its daily RSI is bullish and pointing higher suggesting further strength. All in all, CRUDE OIL remains biased to the upside in the short term

Subscribe To Steve Carell In Talks For Alexander And The Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day Updates
I've already subscribed
There are two pieces of good news to deliver: according to Deadline, Steve Carell is currently in talks to star in Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day. The second piece of good news is that they aren't changing the movie so that an adult is the central protagonist.
Based on the book by Judith Viorst, Alexander is about a young boy who is experiencing the worst 24 hours of his life. He wakes up with gum in his hair, trips on his skateboard, doesn't get a prize in his cereal box, gets yelled at by his teacher...and it just keeps going on and on. He constantly says that he is just going to pack everything up and move to Australia, but at the end of the story his mother ensures him that some days are just like that, "even in Australia."
The report says that Carell is up for the role of Ben, though I must admit that I don't remember that character from the book. Lisa Cholodenko, who most recently directed the Oscar-nominated The Kids Are All Right, is directing the film, though the new story doesn't say when production might get started. Carell has experience making family films, but that experience is largely in the field of animation and voice-over. He played roles in other kid-friendly movies like Horton Hears a Who, Despicable Me and Over The Hedge.
While this is the first time that Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day is being done in live-action, it was previously developed as an animated musical on HBO back in 1990 and has been twice adapted as a short film.

I got a little bit more done today, I glued in the hatch catch's on the cockpit, and cut and filed the slots in the fuselage, I fitted the tab for the rear hatch that holds the rearward side in, and I also mounted the tab that holds the rear of the cockpit down too. So both the cockpit and the fan hatch are done, except the front center catch for the cockpit that connects into the slot

The U.S. Department of Transportation Safety Institute (TSI) will be sponsoring a new award this year called the Moral Courage award. The recognition is the "brainchild" of D. Smith (Acting Aviation Division Chief of TSI). In the aviation community, there are multiple rotorcraft aviation safety awards presented each year to various individuals and organizations. However, none of the existing awards have a primary focus on cultivating a positive safety culture throughout the international helicopter industry. The new recognition will do exactly that by rewarding and reinforcing sound operational safety practices and recognizing the individuals and organizations responsible for them.
With the advent of safety management systems (SMS), there is much talk about organizational safety culture. Experts agree that a positive organizational safety culture significantly contributes to accident prevention. No current award fully supports that objective. The Moral Courage award intends to send a very loud and clear message—sound safety practice is not only desirable, but it is recognized and rewarded by industry leaders. The opportunity is at hand and the timing is right for such an award. The true account cited below is indicative of why we need such an award.
A helicopter emergency medical services (HEMS) pilot related this account. He and the medical crew departed their base to pick up and transport a critical neo-natal patient. The weather forecast was good VFR for the entire route of flight and destination. Approximately five miles from the destination they encountered un-forecast and decreasing visibility. The pilot was very familiar with the area and the surrounding terrain. For a brief moment, he considered dropping to tree top level and continuing the flight. However, he knew the best and safest thing was to abort the flight and return safely to base. He did just that and his decision, although difficult, ensured the safety of the entire crew. He did the right thing and it took moral courage to make that decision. When we recognize a pilot and crew for doing the right thing it sends a message to the entire rotorcraft community. The message is simple—safe operational practices ensure operational success and sustained profitability. What's more, if we recognize the organization for supporting the decision of the crew we will send a huge message to the industry that a positive safety culture is attainable, meaningful, and preferred. The Moral Courage award will recognize the crew and the organization with separate awards for fostering and supporting a positive safety culture.
TSI will present the award at HAI's Heli-Expo 2013 in Las Vegas, Nev. TSI is responsible for coordinating the marketing, forming the selection panel, receiving the nominations, selecting the recipients, notifying the selectees, and sending a TSI representative to Heli-Expo to present the awards.
Both aircrew members and organizations from several categories of the helicopter community are eligible for nomination. The categories include but are not limited to; HEMS, electronic news gathering, military operations, general aviation, agriculture operations, law enforcement, offshore, tour operators, etc. Nominations for each category will be solicited via existing outlets to the rotorcraft community and other various forums. TSI will assign an individual to receive the nominations and coordinate a selection committee.
Sometimes choosing the safest course of action may not yield an immediate profit, and might not give the appearance of the most heroic. The fact is it takes moral courage to do the right thing.
The Moral Courage award will provide a huge opportunity to promote and foster a positive safety culture by recognizing crewmembers and organizations that demonstrate commitment to conducting safe operations.Related: Training News

There's a Fly on My Cake!
So I'm browsing around the internets the other day looking for bug cakes (don't ask) and I come across the Flickr page of Second City Warehouse. What I saw there made my trackball come to a screeching halt. It seems that Steph's boss, Carl, was leaving for a new and better job and it was Steph's job to pick up the booze and the cake. But I'll let her tell you the rest of the story:
"Of course, I wanted the cake to be very special and couldn't think of anything else to put on it aside from a bat fly." [I feel like we're missing something here.]
"So, I picked out Carl's very favorite microptics print [Who doesn't have a favorite microptics print?] and took it to the bakery to see if they could replicate the image on a cake in frosting. "At the bakery, I decided to cut to the chase, so I pulled the picture out first thing in order to make sure they could transfer it. The bakers were stunned into a profound silence as they stared at the photo. I opened my mouth to explain, but a little voice in my head said, 'No no, don't. It's funnier this way.' "When they finally tore their eyes away to look up at me, I smiled and said, 'So. You guys are the experts, let me know what you think. I was thinking of a blue border, but I'm not sure about the decorations. Balloons, do you you think, or flowers?' "The manager of the bakery didn't really answer my question, just silently filled out the order form and wrote 'balloons.'"
Y'all ready to see this thing now? Here 'tis:
"When I got the cake, I was tickled to see that they had attached frosting balloon strings to the hind leg, the wing and somewhere near the head. I suppose they weren't sure how a microscopic insect might choose to hold a balloon." [Well, that makes about 75,000 of us.]
Let me just say that this cake has given me a whole new appreciation for grocery store bakers. Thanks for letting me borrow your story, Steph!
Note from john (the hubby of Jen): Several of you have noted that this isn't a "wreck" in the strictest sense of the word, to which I say, true that. It is, however, a fun cake story. And it's Saturday. Go with it. Peace out, yo.

Employed immigrants, regardless of status or documents used to acquire employment, are required to file taxes. Service providers working with the foreign-born can offer tax assistance preparation and support as their clients work to fulfill this federal requirement. Those without a Social Security Number can apply for an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) to use when filing taxes. Please see the federal government's resources on applying for and using the ITIN below.
Assisting immigrants in applying for and using an ITIN is a powerful way of encouraging a culture that promotes immigrant integration within your agency. Naturalization applicants are required to show good moral character, and demonstrating through their tax history that they have complied with federal and state tax filing requirements is a great way to meet this requirement. Big changes to immigration legislation in the future will likely require applicants to prove good moral character and that they have been filing tax returns. Encouraging potential applicants to file now will help them be ready when a bill passes.
