Notre Dame's scores
IN RESPONSE to "Missouri ACT scores inching up": Why weren't Notre Dame Regional High School's ACT scores included in this article? My daughter graduated in 2002 and scored 31. She was not alone. I cannot remember exactly, but I do know that at least more than 20 students scored high enough to get a Brite Flight Scholarship. This would appear to be a lot higher than the Missouri average of students in the same year. Also, a greater percentage of Notre Dame students go on to higher education. Notre Dame is an excellent school and should get recognition even though it is not funded by government.
Baby-sitting at the pool
LEAVE THE lifeguards alone. They have a tough job. It's not just sitting in a chair and getting a suntan. I know, I did it for five years when I was in high school and college. The problem anymore is that parents use the pool as cheap day care. So not only are the young adults working as lifeguards, but they have to be baby sitters as well.
No help from clubs
I HAVE a friend who is handicapped. He called every club around the area to see if he could get help for a fund raiser. They wouldn't help him at all. He has to be a member before they will help. I think it's pretty bad when all these clubs and lodges can't help a person out. I thought that was what they were all about.
Beautiful article
JUST finished reading the article, "Two first days, going back to school." The article is beautifully written. It brought tears to a mother's eyes. My daughter started kindergarten this year, and she had a shaky first day just like Randa Norman did. No matter how much you love them or how much you prepare them, the day comes when you have to let that little ship sail by itself. Then they come home and end up having a good day after all, just like you hoped they would. I loved the article.
Front-page news
MIKE RICHEY is a fine young man who made a big mistake, but he didn't deserve front-page news like some murderer or rapist. Anyone who knows Mike personally knows he regrets his mistakes for himself and his family. My heart goes out to him and his wonderful family. It amazes me how a real danger to society can make the back page, but someone who makes amends financially and loses his life's occupation is put on the front page as newsworthy.
Too many whiners
I HEAR people calling Speak Out right and left, criticizing what the school district should do or what the city government should do. It reminds me of the donkey and the boy and the man who listened to so much advice. So to appease everybody, he carried the donkey, and the donkey ended up drowned in the creek for listening to too many people. This is what our officials will do if they pay attention to these whiners.
Friendly lifeguard
IF YOU want to see a friendly and dependable lifeguard with a great personality, come to the 5 a.m. fitness swim at Central Junior High School pool and meet Drew. He's the best. Thank you for being our lifeguard.
Plenty to do
WE HAVE the Osage Centre for teens and preteens. I thought that was part of why it was built: so kids would have something to do. There are roller rinks and bowling alleys. And then people say there's not enough for kids to do. The Show Me Center is not just for college kids. They have circuses there. The only problem with the Show Me Center is it costs so much. I'm not against the water park, but try to use better reasoning to convince us why we need it.
Bad behavior
PEOPLE WONDER why there's voter apathy. It's probably because politicians have lost all semblance of courtesy, respect or honor for their opponents and for themselves. Whichever party you vote for, the behavior on all sides is discouraging. Tearing down the service records of so many people is for the birds.

The shared database design calls for integrity checks on certain critical attributes. Those checks are currently not implemented in the NSS 3.12 Alpha.
They need to be implemented before Shared Databases are turned on by default in applications as they affect database compatibility.
Created attachment 275713 [details] [diff] [review]
Integrity patch
This patch implements integrity checking for certain non-encrypt attributes that are critical to our system integrity.
----- General information -----------
Those attributes are:
1) Trust object hashes and trust values.
2) public key values.
Certs themselves are considered properly authenticated by virtue of their signature, or their matching hash with the trust object.
Integrity is only check for objects coming from shared databases. Older dbm style databases have no integrity checks. Integrity is also only checked when the token is logged in, as Integrity is guarrenteed by the master password.
Tokens which have no key database (and therefore no master password) do not have any stored integrity values. Integrity values are stored in the key database, since the integrity data is tightly coupled to the key database password.
-------------------------- more detail on integrity implementation -----------
Integrity values are stored in a special table in the key database called the 'metadata'. This table could store other types of meta data as well in the future. Currently the password check is also stored in the metadata table.
Integrity entries are indexed by the string sig_[cert/key]_{ObjectID}_{Attribute}
Where cert/key indicates which logical database the actual object is stored in, {ObjectID} is the id of the object and {Attribute} is the attribute this integrity entry is for.
Entries are check when the user tries to get and attribute. Once the attributes are fetched, GetAttributes loops through the attributes looking for attributes that require integrity checks. When such an attribute is found, the integrity check entry is fetched and an HMAC is calculated for the attribute. If the attribute matches the integrity entry, processing proceeds. If it doesn't that attribute data is cleared and CKR_SIGNATURE_INVALID is returned.
Integrity checks are PBMAC1 data structures defined in pkcs5. Since pkcs5 v1 had not integrity checks and pkcs12 has not definition for storing purely mac data,the shared DB integrity checks uses pkcs5 v2 to store that pbe and mac data. This patch turns on pkcs5 v2 as a result. The PBMAC1 is using SHA256 for a MAC operation. The hmac data is formed by taking an hmac over the objectId, attribute type, and data value of the attribute.
------------------ other semantics -------------------------
Because of this change, it is not possible to update certain values in the database without a password. Public keys should not be a problem since they are almost always created or imported at the same time as their private counterparts (which always required a password to update). Trust objects, on the other hand, are often updated without a password. This patch includes a patch to certutil which retries trust update operations if they fail because the user was not logged in.This also required updating some of the stan code to properly return error codes which could be mapped to the appropriate NSS error codes.
Other reviews or even partial review comments welcome! on this patch.
I have started to look at this.
I think you have written a very helpful piece of text in this bug, I propose to put these words directly into the source files. When future maintainers look at the code, they might not find the link to this bug report and the text.
If you're worried the documentation and sources might get out of sync over time, you could clearly indicate that documentation with "general notes on integrity testing, last updated August 2007" - this would indicate readers the comment is not necessarily up to date, but still might be very helpful when reading the code.
If there is an easy way to, you could avoid having the string "sig_%s_%08x_%08x" twice in the code.

I absolutely agree integrity checks are a good thing, I'm just not sure I fully understand your motivation for introducing them. Could you give an example of a scenario where things will go wrong without integrity checks?
I'm guessing: Are you worried that app v2 introduces new attributes ax, app v1 doesn't know about it, app v1 tries to modify the object and fails to update attribute ax. When app v2 tries to access the object, it will discover that attribute ax is not in sync and will automatically erase it?
Unless I mention something as "must fix", I'm only giving food for thought, feel free to address or skip.
In CERT_MapStanError, renaming error1 to prev_error would improve readability, I think.
if (errorStack != NULL) and (errorStack[0] == 0)
then error1/prev_error will remain uninitialized,
(not a problem with your current code)
I wonder if STAN_MAP_ERROR would produce better code if you used "switch" and your macro used "case" (instead of the series of: if else if else ...)
If you're interested to simplify this code, I see no need to explicitly use a return statement for each scenario, you could simply assign to a variable, and use a single PORT_SetError at the end of the function.
In file stanpcertdb.c you have a section where reference the const NSS error values that are defined elsewhere, e.g.:
const NSSError NSS_ERROR_NO_ERROR;
const NSSError NSS_ERROR_INTERNAL_ERROR;
I think you want to declare them as "extern"?
(you do so in other places)
I have not reviewed the pkcs#5 template definitions.
Please let me know if I should read up in detail to be able to review.
In do_xor you're switching to always use the code formerly called "paranoia", so I guess it's ok to do.
But you're adding other code #ifdef'ed by USE_UINTS, I can't find this define anywhere in NSPR or NSS.
(hitting commit to not lose what I've written so far... more comments coming up)
Are you sure nsspkcs5_PBKFD2_F and nsspkcs5_PBKDF2 (which you enabled) will never be called with NULL pointer params/items? (the functions don't check before derefencing)
In sec_pkcs5_des you call CBC_PadBuffer with a value of 8, what's the meaning? Is there a self-explanatory constant definition you could use? Maybe DES_KEY_LENGTH? Same for sec_pkcs5_aes where you're using values 16 and 64.
### Probably a bug?
In nsc_pbe_key_gen you introduce pbkd2_params and init it, but you never use it. You always use the old pbe_params.
> /* only Key databases have password entries */
You might want to update the comment to say "have metadata entries" (or "such" entries...)
What's the meaning of the string "password" that you have repeatedly throughout the sources? Is it the password used to access the sqlite database? Could you turn this into a string constant, like NSS_SQLITE_DB_PW ?
This is a big patch. For the second half, so far I only skimmed through it.
Comment on attachment 275713 [details] [diff] [review]
Integrity patch
Review comments by source file:
1. stanpcertdb.c
Unless this file has previously included some header file that already
declared all those NSS_ERROR_ values as extern, these declarations
will be definitions, causing all those variables to be defined here
(for this source file) with the value zero.
Required: put the word "extern" in front of all these.
2. I appreciate you implementing CERT_MapStanError().
I think this actually may resolve another NSS RFE.
It needs to be declared in an NSS private header file.
There are lots of other places that need to call it, too.
This is a MUST.
The necessity of implementing it as a big long if-elseif-elseif-elseif
chain shows the primary weakness of the approach used in stan.
It's not possible to have a switch statement whose cases are the
error symbol names when those names are the names of global variables.
I heartily recommend creating an enumerated type, and making that
available so that this function can be implemented as a switch.
I think there would be many other benefits, too.
Not a MUST for this patch, but maybe we should have a separate bug
for this.
3. The patch adds some SHA224 symbols to softoken/pkcs11t.h, mostly
CKM_SHA224_* symbols. And it adds references to those CKM_SHA224
symbols in the secoid table. But there is no other use of them,
and we don't have an implementation of SHA224 anywhere in NSS.
So I wonder, was the patch to softoken/pkcs11t.h intended to be
part of a patch for another bug/RFE? Is there a SHA224 implementation
somewhere waiting to be reviewed?
4. In softoken/sdb.c, you've created a new "metaData" table to replace
the short-lived "password" table. Since the "password" table will
never live in any real NSS 3.12 release, let's plan to remove all
vestiges of the password table before we release NSS 3.12.
Probably should be a separate bug for that.
5. There are lots of strings containing SQL commands in sdb.c.
The way they are defined, they will be in the shared lib's data
segment. Let's put them into the text segment (making them read-
only) by declaring them as initializers of static arrays of const
char rather than as argument strings, or initializers of pointers.
6. In sftkdb.c, please rename the following functions by appending
the word "Attribute" to their existing names. Also, let's maintain
the NSS coding style of capitalizing the first character after the
first underscore.
(and maybe others)
These two new functions need a noun to identify the kind of thing
for which the signature is being gotten or put.
Maybe sftkdb_GetObjectSignature and sftkdb_PutObjectSignature ?
Call these name changes a MUST.
7. One overall comment. There are a lot of functions in the
shared DB code (and in the new legacy code) that don't have any
block comments explaining what they are intended to do. Future
maintainers of this code will have to figure that out for themselves.
So, please put a block comment at the beginning of each new function
explaining what it is supposed to do, in enough detail that someone
can use that comment as a specification, to see if the function does
as intended, or not. Obviously, this is not a MUST for every
function at this time.
r+ with the above MUSTs done, and Kai's review MUSTs.

Patch as checked in (with review comments addressed).
Issues not directly addressed in the code:
Kaie comment 5 "Null Pointers checks for nsspkcs5_PBKD2_F/nsspkcs5_PBKDF2".
Those are both static private functions which cannot take NULL pointers for params/items.
Nelson comment 7 (2, second paragraph) - also Kaie comment 4 3rd paragraph:
"RE: switch statement and CERT_MapStanErrors()"
I've openned bug 391597. Nelson correctly surmised why I didn't use a switch statement. I agree that enums would be preferable.
Nelson comment 7 (3): SHA_224.
SHA_224 has shown up in a few standards. PKCS 5 v2.1 defined the HMAC OIDS for SHA_224, so I added them along with the HMAC OIDS for the other hashes. PKCS #11 added SHA 224 Mechanisms in 2.20 amendment 3 (same amendment that added CAMELLIA). Nelson is correct, we do not have an implementation, nor is there an RFE bug openned to do such an implementation. SHA_224 is defined in:

When should my phalaenopsis start putting up spikes? I thought it would be around this time (January), but they are doing nothing. Is there something I can do to coax them into spike? — James Tinker
In response to short days and cooler temperatures, early winter is generally when phalaenopsis begin to show their spikes in most parts of the country. If your plants are not spiking, it may be the result of insufficient light during the growing season, or the temperatures in the home may be too warm at night. Try providing temperatures in the high 50s into the low 60s for a week or two and see what happens. — Ned Nash

Cameroon native enlists for citizenship, family and challenge
DVIDS | Jul 28 2015
USS KEARSARGE, Atlantic Ocean – Cameroon is a central African country with 22 million residents. LCpl Caleb Nti, an administrative specialist with the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit, lived in Cameroon until he was 14, when his parents decided to move to the U.S.
"My dad was a teacher, the first to graduate college and he wanted to give us better opportunities," said Nti.
Nti said his dad worked hard to graduate school and provide for their family, comprised of his mother, father and nine siblings.
When they moved to the U.S. seeking to improve their situation and chance of greater success, Nti had to adapt to a new setting; learn a new language, his first language is French, the native language of Cameroon, and embrace a different culture.
"It's interesting in Cameroon," said Nti. "Our large family was all together, it was peaceful and we didn't worry about the same things you do here."
Having the majority of his family in the same place, Nti said he felt safe and happy.
"The cultures are different," said Nti. "We were taught to have a steeper respect for elders in Cameroon, and we grew up closer to the things in our daily lives."
Nti's family owned a farm in Cameroon. He said he grew up with a greater appreciation of food, picking fruit from trees and gathering different vegetables for their meals.
"It's significantly different from here where we rely on stores to get everything," said Nti. "There it was more common for people to have their own sources of food."
The experiences he had in Cameroon shaped his life and values, said Nti.
"It was great, but I understand why my parents wanted to come to the U.S.," said Nti. "They're always pushing us to better ourselves."
Nti spent the latter part of his life in Baltimore, Md. He finished high school and attended Prince George's Community College, close to his family's home in Baltimore. He initially planned to study for a medical profession after recommendations from his family that it would help him achieve success, but he changed his mind after he decided it didn't fit his personality.
"It wasn't me," said Nti. "It is a good field to be in, but I wanted to do something different, so I switched to criminal justice."
He completed two years of school before he decided he wanted to enlist in the Marine Corps.
"Financial aid is good, but I needed more to finish school and I didn't want to use student loans," said Nti. "I had always wanted to travel so the military was an opportunity to help me better myself and meet my goals."
The Marine Corps interested him most because of its challenge and the close relationships Marines have, said Nti.
"It's difficult and I could see how the Marine Corps is a family," said Nti. "I decided that it was something I wanted to be."
When he enlisted, Nti did not have a U.S. citizenship. He earned his citizenship through his enlistment and became the second of his siblings to do so and the only one to join the military.
"It's important to me and important to my family," said Nti. "It's one of the greatest things I've gained from my service."
He said it was a relatively simple process. He presented his green card and other information to his recruiter during the enlistment process. Afterwards, when he arrived to Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island, S.C., he signed documents confirming his citizenship.
"Out of everything I've gained from the Marine Corps, which is a lot, it is the most important," said Nti.
Other things Nti said he gained from the Marine Corps include skills that have helped him personally including camaraderie, discipline and developing lasting friendships.
LCpl Linnard Addison, an administrative specialist with the 26th MEU, is a coworker and friend of Nti. They have worked together at Camp Lejeune, aboard the USS Kearsarge during various exercises and are slated to deploy together later this year.
"Nti is sociable and easy to talk to," said Addison. "He's easy to work with because of his work ethic and willingness to learn.
Along with Addison and several others, Nti is responsible for providing administrative support to the Marines of the 26th MEU.
"I think he uses the difficulties he experienced in Cameroon to his advantage," said Addison. "He uses that as motivation to work harder, because he sees the opportunities he has here and he doesn't want to take that for granted."
Nti and Addison developed their friendship through shared experiences within the Marine Corps and conducting themselves in the same work section. Nti said he and many other friends he's gained is another rewarding part of his enlistment.
"I've gained many brothers," said Nti. "You rely on one another and get close to each other through your experiences."
Nti's parents were not happy with his choice initially, but after watching him gain skills, better himself and finding happiness through friends made and experiences had, their feelings changed, said Nti.
"They know I'm happy and will continue to better myself as a person," said Nti.
He has decided to apply for reenlistment when the time comes and use tuition assistance to finish his degree in criminal justice, so he can pursue a career after the Marine Corps.
"I want to work for the FBI as an investigator," said Nti. "It's a lot of work, and I have a lot to learn."
Other goals Nti has following reenlistment include special duty assignments, which include drill instructor, recruiter and Marine security guard. He has expressed interest in becoming a drill instructor.
"He wants to stay in and be a drill instructor," said Addison. "I think he should because he's a good Marine and the kind we need training other Marines."
Nti said he gained a lot from the Marine Corps that will help him reach his vision. He's gained leadership and knowledge that gives him a better understanding of how to achieve one's personal goals.
"I've had many great leaders that had great ideas and set the example for us to follow," said Nti. "I'm glad that I learned so much."
The Marine Corps has given him the tools to be successful and he plans to use those to continue carrying himself with its values, said Nti.

Spitz: Newspapers are a community asset
|Freedom Communications President and
co-owner Eric Spitz addresses attendees at
OC Business Summit. Photo by Darnell Renee.
Eric Spitz, President and co-owner of Freedom Communications, addressed 1,500 business leaders and entrepreneurs at the OC Business Summit earlier this month at Saddleback Church in Lake Forest. He also fielded questions from event host Pastor Rick Warren about insights he learned in adding depth and quality to the Register.
With transformation as its theme, the one-day March event included other national media figures as speakers, including The Huffington Post's Arianna Huffington, Forbes Publisher Rich Karlgaard and New Yorker staff writer and author Malcolm Gladwell.
"Our transformation (is) from a newspaper business to a subscriber business to a community asset… we believe newspapers are here and exist to build their communities," Spitz said. "It's not coming from a (newspaper) organization to a digital organization. It's understanding what newspapers are. They are institutions of their communities…to be that institution that binds community."
During the Q&A, Warren asked Spitz about delivering extra value, the experience beyond the product, maintaining loyalty among customers and effectively serving a community.

There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Porsche Macan will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Lexus RX 450h, which has a much lower MSRP. Another consideration is the Destination Charge, which is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle to the dealer from where it's built. The Porsche Macan will cost more in terms of transportation costs than the Lexus RX 450h.
The Porsche Macan is a little wider than the Lexus RX 450h, so getting in and out of the car in a crowded parking lot may be a little more of a squeeze. The Porsche Macan is slightly shorter than the Lexus RX 450h, which may make it easier to park.
Due to its much higher torque, the Porsche Macan does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Lexus RX 450h.
The Porsche Macan has a larger turning radius than the Lexus RX 450h, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.
In terms of towing capacity, the Lexus RX 450h is clearly the choice over the Porsche Macan for pulling heavy loads. When it comes to horsepower, the Porsche Macan greatly out-muscles the Lexus RX 450h.
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Porsche Macan and the Lexus RX 450h. The Porsche Macan has less cargo space than the Lexus RX 450h, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
The Porsche Macan comes with essentially the same basic warranty as the Lexus RX 450h.
Compare the 2017 Porsche Macan and the 2016 Lexus RX 450h.

I really enjoy reviewing shizzle, so I might start reviewing some animes when I get time :)

Koosh Balls
Everybody loves Koosh! The famous Koosh Ball is perhaps the most famous stress ball of all time. The stretchy rubbery spines are soft to the touch and irresistible. You'll find yourself rolling the Koosh Ball around in your hand, swinging it by the spines or just squeezing it.
The Koosh Ball was invented in 1987 by Scott Stillinger and Matt Button. They wanted to create something for kids that would be easily thrown, held and make an amusing noise as it landed. They tied some rubber bands to a rubber core and the Koosh Ball was born! It was named "Koosh" after the trademark koosh, koosh sound it makes as hits the ground. Soft, colorful, and addictive, the ball far exceeded its creators' expectations. The toy was surprisingly popular among adults despite being originally intended for kids. The first year it hit the shelves, some 40% of the toys were bought for adults to play with! During the 1988 Christmas season the Koosh ball wouldn't stay on the shelves. Several million units were sold over the next four years. Now, millions of sales and numerous spinoffs later, the Koosh Ball is widely regarded as a classic children's toy and stress reliever. The Koosh Ball is a must have stress ball! We carry the original Koosh Ball that started it all, as well as variations on that winning design, in multitudes of colors, sizes, and textures. Attach a Spaghetti Ball Keychain to your keys for some portable fidgety fun - the bountiful stretchy spaghetti stands are irresistible. The Posh Ball is lighter, softer, and fluffier than the classic Koosh Ball, and makes a fun swishing sound when landing. It also comes in petite and ultra sizes. If you can't wait for snow to fall, or if you live in an area where no snow falls, just grab a Posh Snowball and start a snowball fight in the office! Check out all of our awesome Koosh Balls in the category below.Read More

SYRACUSE, N.Y.– What happened?
Why did the SU football team, which was sitting on top of the Big East World late on the evening of Oct. 21 following a 49-23 dismantling of Top 15 ranked West Virginia, implode with a fourth consecutive defeat, a disheartening 30-13 Senior Day loss to Cincinnati in the Dome on Saturday, to drop to 5-6 with a game left to play?
Quarterback Ryan Nassib, chased all afternoon by a Bearcats defense that produced four sacks and countless plays in which he was banged, bruised and harried, wearily clarified the reason succinctly after the latest offensive meltdown produced only one touchdown.
"It's not easy to win," Nassib said in reference to having had four chances to notch a sixth victory and secure bowl eligibility, and are now left with only one opportunity Saturday at Pittsburgh. "We've only needed one game to become eligible for a month now. It's not as easy (winning games) as a lot of guys thought."
The 'Cuse went to Louisville eight days after the WVU victory and was completely outplayed by a Cardinals team that was inspired by the pre-game locker room appearance of senior cornerback Anthony Conner. Conner had suffered a neck injury the week before and was a surprise visitor to his teammates who responded accordingly.
Next was the Paul Pasqualoni Bowl and a mistake-filled loss to Connecticut, followed by a one-sided defeat to South Florida, a team the Orange upset in Tampa a year ago.
With an extra week off to prepare and so much to play for in the home finale, disappointedly minus many of the locals who apparently wanted to take advantage of the Indian Summer temperatures on a late November day, SU came up flat and its skid continued, which left head coach Doug Marrone steamed.
"You have no idea what type of feeling (inside) it is. Trust me," Marrone said emotionally in describing the weight of a winless five week stretch. "I can't believe that I've disappointed the fans, the people (around the program), everyone. I care too much about this community, and where this program was, where I want to take this program, the administration, the faculty, and the players. And…right now, I feel like I'm letting them down."
But there's still one last shot at bowl eligibility and some redemption with a win over Pittsburgh for the first time since the aforementioned Pasqualoni beat the Panthers in 2004, his final Orange season, a message Marrone hopes he got through to his beleaguered bunch.
"How many times are you going to get back up there in the bottom of the ninth and people (pitchers) give you a chance to hit the ball?" Marrone explained to his team. "It's not going to be the homerun, but for us to go to a bowl game is important. We've got to play better."

Motorcycle Crashes Into Hillside - 7/28/2012
Rider of Yamaha R6 saves it but then goes straight up the hillside. Rider was uninjured. Mulholland Highway in Los Angeles has been a popular with motorcycles & fast cars for decades. Car and motorcycle clubs are regular visitors every weekend. Jay Leno can often be found at the famous Rockstore and at a view point called Lookout talking with fellow motor enthusiasts. Crashes are common as well as a heavy police presence on most weekends. The Snake is a two mile section of Mulholland above the Rockstore. Riders usually will make multiple runs allowing me to move from corner to corner when assembling rider videos. The speed limit is 45 mph, most riders are not going much over that so the majority of tickets are crossing the line, wheelies or equipment violations. Bicycles are up here all the time but motorcycles and bikes seem to do fine together as long as the cyclists are willing to stay to the right. Cars passing them are a bigger problem since there is no shoulder and most turns are blind. I mainly shoot on the last corner coming up because I can see much of the road and photogs are expected. The turn gets it's fair share of crashes but people crash other places also just no one is filming. The top corner I shoot seem to average one crash every couple weeks in the summer, out of many hundreds of riders. 911 emergency services are rarely called and accidents are seldom reported since most riders do not get injured severely.

Crazy capture, especially the audio since I was so close. Shot with a Panasonic GH4 still camera that also does 4k video. The driver claimed he slid on water. He was uninjured ** The crash was a few months ago, I didn't post it right away to avoid negative attention during peak riding season. **

The veteran Labour politician and iconic figure of the left Tony Benn has died this morning at his home in west London, his family has said. He was 88.
In a statement his children Stephen, Hilary, Melissa and Joshua said: "It is with great sadness that we announce that our father Tony Benn died peacefully early this morning at his home in west London surrounded by his family. We would like to express our heartfelt thanks to all the NHS staff and carers who have looked after him with such kindness in hospital and at home.
"We will miss above all his love which has sustained us throughout our lives. But we are comforted by the memory of his long, full and inspiring life and so proud of his devotion to helping others as he sought to change the world for the better. Arrangements for his funeral will be announced in due course."
Born Anthony Neil Wedgwood Benn, he first entered parliament in November 1950 and served in the cabinet under Harold Wilson and Jim Callaghan. He narrowly missed out on election as Labour deputy leader in 1981, and was instrumental in party's 1983 manifesto.
In 2001 Benn stepped down from parliament in order to "spend more time on politics".

He remained an active and outspoken member of the Labour party. In recent years he had been a central member of the anti-war movement.
He recently moved into sheltered accommodation near his home in Holland Park, London, following a stroke last year.
Last month he was taken into hospital, where his condition was reported as "seriously ill".
His most recent public appearance was in December when he spoke at a service remembering Nelson Mandela.
In his heyday in the 1970s and early 1980s, Benn was one of the rare individuals who added a word to the English language. The words 'Bennite', Bennism' and even 'Bennery' were part of the everyday political language even before the word the word ' Thatcherite', the polar opposite of 'Bennite', was first uttered.
Ed Miliband paid tribute to an "iconic figure of our age".
He said: "He will be remembered as a champion of the powerless, a great parliamentarian and a conviction politician.
"Tony Benn spoke his mind and spoke up for his values. Whether you agreed with him or disagreed with him, everyone knew where he stood and what he stood for.
"He believed in movements and mobilised people behind him for the causes he cared about, often unfashionable ones. In a world of politics that is often too small, he thought big about our country and our world."
Miliband was almost unique among the Labour party leaders of the past 50 years, in that he and Benn actually got on well. The Labour leader revealed that he visited Benn in hospital recently and "as I left he said to me 'Well, old son. Let's have a proper talk when you have more time'."
The former prime minister Gordon Brown also paid tribute to a " powerful, fearless, relentless advocate for social justice and people's rights".
He said Mr Benn's speeches will continue to have a "profound influence on generations to come".
Though he was a highly controversial figure, who made a large number of enemies during his political life – a great many of them within the Labour party – he was acknowledged to be one of the last political orators from an age when the public meeting was a part of political life. In his memoirs, Tony Blair, whose politics Benn roundly despised, paid a fulsome tribute to Benn's stature as a speaker.
The son of a Labour Cabinet minister who became a peer, Benn first made his mark on national politics more than 60 years ago, when he fought a long and successful battle to be the first Briton to renounce a hereditary peerage. He was also the main driving force behind the decision to hold the first referendum in British history, in 1975, over membership of what is now called the EU.
Having been a conscientious Cabinet minister in the 1960s, Benn veered to the left in reaction to the political and economic crisis of the early 1970s, becoming an iconic figure for the political left, and the main author of the manifesto on which Labour fought the 1983 election, and suffered its worst post-war defeat. Harold Wilson, the first of a series of Labour leaders to clash with Benn, once claimed that he 'immatured' in middle age.
A political firebrand who was at times vilified by the right, his views once led The Sun newspaper to question whether he was "the most dangerous man in Britain".
He emerged, however, as one of the most respected MPs of the last 50 years.
David Cameron said of Labour veteran on Twitter: "Tony Benn was a magnificent writer, speaker and campaigner. There was never a dull moment listening to him, even if you disagreed with him."
Labour MPs took to the social network to pay warm tributes.
Former cabinet minister Peter Hain said: "Tony Benn was a giant of socialism who encouraged me to join Labour in 1977: wonderful inspirational speaker and person: will be deeply missed."
Diane Abbott said: "Admired so many things about Benn: unwavering principles; always open to new ideas; stellar political speaker but unfailingly courteous."
Barry Sheerman, who entered parliament in 1979 and served alongside Mr Benn for many years, said : "Sad news of Tony Benn death. I had my differences with him but he was a "big beast" in our political life and party history."
Lucy Powell, one of the party's newest MPs added: "Very sorry to hear the sad news about Tony Benn. He was a political giant of the last century, principled and passionate."

Recent reviews
Good 3.8 /5 from 65 reviews
Bright, compact, super clean room located in a picturesque area with walking paths along the water. It was a short walk to the heart of Parnu. We enjoyed our two days there.
Average hotel and breakfast. Very helpful and pleasant staff. Room a bit small, furniture and TV very simple, but it is ok for a short stay. A lot of day light in the room, that is a big plus for the hotel. Hotel is close to the nice park and a pond. Worth to stay again for the weekend.
I stayed their with my father. The hotel is in an area that looks a bit like an industrial area although it is close to the (very small) yacht club and a km to the nice central placa and to the beach. A little away from the beach. We were the only guests but they prepared a nice breakfast for us. The hotel was certainly clean and well kept up. If you are here to stop, have a nice meal in the old town, this is a good choice. This is not really something for a week long beach vacation.
Nice staff, basic hotel, relatively small rooms, breakfast ok. I liked the fact that windows can be opened in the rooms, even on top floors, which is rare nowadays. The location next to a park was nice, and free parking was also a nice frill. I would recommend it for short stops, but for luxury holidays I would go somewhere else.

MAY I INTRODUCE TO YOU . . . Melanie Frick
I have the great pleasure of introducing you to Melanie Frick and her blog, Homestead Genealogical Research, described as, ". . . Homestead Genealogical Research is a collection of vintage photographs and vignettes about the lives of my ancestors."
Melanie, can you tell us a little about yourself?
"I was born and raised in Iowa and, thanks to a healthy dose of Little House on the Prairie, have been fascinated by history for as long as I can remember. This led to a B.A. in History and then an M.L.S. My husband and I met as undergraduates and bade farewell to the great Midwest in 2010. After spending a few years in the Washington, D.C. area, we now live in Southern California."
How did you get interested in doing genealogy?
"My father was the genealogist in the family before me and knew how to throw out enticing tidbits from his research that tied into whatever subject I happened to be interested in at the time. It made a big impression on me as an eight-year-old when he told me that one of our French Canadian ancestors was rumored to have had Native American (First Nation) roots. I'm still working on that mystery! I was ten when I began to fill in my first family tree but really began my research journey at the age of twelve. Fortunately, I had a reasonably good eye for detail even at that age, and a benefit of beginning my research so young is that I feel by now that I'm on a first-name basis with many of my ancestors."
Why did you start a genealogy blog?
"First and foremost, I wanted to share bite-sized pieces of family history with far-flung relatives and other interested readers, and I'll admit that cousin bait is always on my mind. After spending an inordinate amount of time stewing about the idea of creating a blog, I finally launched Homestead Genealogical Research in 2013 thanks to some inspiration from the Boston University certificate course and the blogger summit at the Southern California Genealogical Society Jamboree."
Melanie's Advice for New and Not-So-New Bloggers
"This may not be the most fun part of blogging for some, but don't forget to proofread! When you've finished writing a new post, take a break and come back to give it a fresh look. Also, cite your sources. Please! Your blog is your own, so really, you can do this as formally or as informally as you want – but in the long run, source citations will be immensely helpful both to you and to anyone who stumbles across your research."
Melanie's Favorite Blog Posts
"About half of my research posts center around an antique photograph – picking out clues and gaining context, or sometimes even identifying unidentified individuals – and they are a lot of fun to write. I also love to share interesting bits and pieces about the lives of my ancestors, often highlighting specific records that bring color to an ancestor's life. A few recent favorites are:
- Back to the Land: Finding an Ancestor's Iowa Homestead
- Searching for Marguerite
- Remembering the Children's Blizzard"
Melanie, who is your favorite ancestor and why?
"It's impossible to pick a favorite, but one of the first to leave an impression on me was a great-great-aunt who was a teacher in a one-room schoolhouse in rural South Dakota during World War I. I first read her diary when I was in middle school, and I was completely enthralled when she wrote about her flirtations with a young soldier at a local barn dance. Her diary ended abruptly as she died in the midst of the Influenza Epidemic of 1918 when she was only twenty-one. Several pages at the end of her diary were torn out, and I became fascinated with her story."
How has genealogy improved your life?
"The perspective that genealogy can bring to one's life is priceless. There's something incredibly meaningful about discovering the trials and tribulations of your ancestors' lives and their place in history, and having the privilege to share these stories with others. My life has also been enriched by the opportunity to connect with countless cousins, one of whom is collaborating with me on a book about our Danish immigrant ancestors. Finally, it's been fantastic getting to know the greater genealogical community through blogging, conferences, and institutes. There are so many genealogists who inspire me on a daily basis, and I love being able to connect with other young genealogists as a volunteer with the NextGen Genealogy Network."
What do you love most about doing genealogy?
"Honestly, while I'm all for highly organized research, sometimes there's nothing more cathartic than curling up on my couch with my laptop, loading up my tree on Ancestry.com, and deciding at random which ancestor is going to be the subject of my search – whether for a few minutes while dinner cooks or for an entire lazy Sunday afternoon. New record sets appear online all the time, and of course, one thing almost always leads to another . . . ."
What is on your genealogy bucket list?
"I would love to explore more of the places where my ancestors once lived. I've been fortunate to visit some of my ancestral homelands in the United States and abroad, and am especially excited to one day retrace the paths of my French Canadian ancestors through their villages in Quebec, to northern New York, to the communities outside of Boston where they worked in the textile mills before relocating to the Midwest. Then, of course, along with identifying the origins of a few of my elusive frontiersmen (who could just maybe steer me to the DAR), there are many more stories I would like to write!"
