WHEN I LEFT my old job a couple of weeks ago, I had to turn in my BlackBerry. I won't lie. I was attached to it; so much so that my daughter, Eve, once caught me scrolling through it when I was supposed to be asleep.
She called it my electronic wife.
I bristled at the time, but looking back, I think Eve might have been right. My BlackBerry was much more than my phone. She was my confidante. I told her where I was going and when I had to be there. She knew who I called, texted and emailed. She even knew what time I got up in the morning. But alas, our relationship is over, and as much it hurts me to write this, I've had to move on.
I thought when I got a younger, slimmer electronic wife, I'd be happier. But I can't relate to this new girl. She's just too complicated. She's got a touchscreen, and if I don't touch it just right, the moment is ruined. She's got all these buttons, and just like a woman, she won't tell me how she wants me to press them, because, well, in her little electronic mind, she thinks I should already know.
Sometimes I tell myself things will change. Maybe these are just growing pains. Maybe we'll eventually get used to one another. Maybe things will turn around. Oh, who am I kidding? It's just not working out. I thought my new iPhone 4 would make me feel young and smart, but she makes me feel old and dumb.
It started from the moment I heard her calling out to me from the back room at Best Buy, telling me I would only have to put a dollar down instead of the $100 they wanted for the iPhone 4S, or the $200 they wanted for the iPhone5. For just a dollar to start, the iPhone 4 would give me unlimited calls and texts, one gigabyte of data per month, and all the Smartphone capabilities I could handle. Sure, the monthly bill would be triple the cost of my Virgin Mobile pay-as-you-go plan, but the iPhone 4S would be just like my BlackBerry - only better.
She'd give me apps and earphones, an iTunes store and the ability to be her own mobile hot spot. It was almost like she was whispering in my ear, telling me she'd be the best I ever had.
There was a catch, though. She wanted a commitment. I had to agree to a two-year relationship, or she'd end it right there at the Best Buy phone counter.
I thought about it. I anguished over it. Luckily, Eve was in the store with me, and like any 11-year-old girl who loves her dad, she didn't want to see me get hurt. Still, she knew it was time for me to move on. She encouraged me to get the phone.
I wasn't sure. Two years seemed like a long commitment to make. Not that I'm one of those commitment-phobic men! I'd had a five-year relationship with BlackBerry. This felt like I was cheating, like I was betraying the trust we'd built.
If I signed that contract, it wouldn't be because I loved the iPhone. It would be because I was on the rebound from my BlackBerry. And, well, because the iPhone is to the BlackBerry as Beyonce is to Madonna. One's got all the moves. The other's just holding on.
Believing that the iPhone 4 was my future, I took a deep breath and signed the contract. And when I finally said yes to the iPhone's siren song, when she finally had papers on me, she snatched the rug out from under my feet, took off her glamorous silver outfit and put on a housecoat and slippers.
She told me she was too delicate to walk around undressed, so I had to buy a $50 Otterbox cover.
When I got her home things got worse. She demanded that I play by her rules. She made me sign in with an Apple ID. I had to give her my email address and password. I had to sign on to my Wi-Fi network. I felt like a dunce on a stool.
Thankfully, I had an 11-year-old to explain the iPhone basics to me, but in truth I still feel lost. Not just because I can't find the speed-dial keys, but because my emotions are in a shambles.
Yes I miss my BlackBerry and I hate my iPhone 4. But at least I didn't get an iPhone 5. They call you stupid out loud.

During the meeting he said, "I worked with BJP for many years as a worker. I have always used the strength and wisdom given by the god to bring the nation forward and to serve it and my party has helped me in doing so."
Modi thanked his party by acknowledging the magnanity of his party by choosing the candidate who came from a common middle class background. Asking the people of the nation to bless him in his journey Modi thanked all the BJP workers and all the senior leaders.
Hours ahead of the formal announcement of making Narendra Modi the prime ministerial candidate, BJP party president Rajnath Singh informed allies like the Shiv Sena and Shiromani Akalidal about the decision. Modi flew into the capital in the afternoon and Rajnath also said that Modi is going to meet LK Advani soon to seek his blessings. But the party patriarch was missing from the parliamentary board meeting.

At least two Britons are among around 15 Westerners fighting in Syria alongside Kurdish guerrillas against the Islamic State group (IS), according to British media.
The Observer newspaper reported that Jamie Read, from North Lanarkshire in Scotland, and James Hughes, from Reading in central England, had been recruited by former US soldier Jordan Matson to join the "The Lions Of Rojava", a Kurdish movement vowing to "send terrorists to hell and save humanity".
Read told the BBC World Service that he was in Syria to help the Kurdish people, and denied reports that the fighters were mercenaries.
Both Read and Hughes, who completed three tours of Afghanistan, are reported to be in Rojava, northern Syria, fighting IS militants trying to take over the embattled city of Kobani.
Around 500 Britons are believed to be fighting on the side of the jihadists.
US fighter Matson last month told the BBC that there were around 15 Western fighters, but that there were "hundreds" of other veterans considering joining.
The group's Facebook page shows photographs of what it says are new recruits from the Netherlands and Germany, while Canadian newspapers have reported that one of their former soldiers, Dillon Hillier, had also joined the fight against IS.
The British government is currently grappling with what to do with jihadist fighters returning from Syria and Iraq, and said it would deal with those returning from fighting alongside Kurdish forces, known as People's Protection Units, on a case-by-case basis.

Last week, in all of cable, Fox News not only smashed its direct left-wing competition at CNN and MSNBC, but in total primetime viewers, the newly crowned Most Trusted Name In News beat every other cable network out there, including AMC, ESPN, TBS, and USA — which landed at 2, 3, 4 and 5, respectively.
Fox News pulled 1.86 million primetime viewers compared to MSNBC's 568,000 and CNN's 476,000. You read that right: Fox New viewers nearly doubled its combined left-wing competition.
While the 25-54 age demo that advertisers clamor for is what guides everything on television (Fox News usually handily wins this demo against MSNBC and CNN), as far as reach and impact (which is crucially important in culture and politics), Fox News is humiliating its left-wing cable news competition.
Oh, and in all of cable, Bill O'Reilly had 4 of the Top 20 shows.

NFL's Top 5 Franchise LogosAugust 10, 2011
NFL's Top 5 Franchise Logos
Thirty-two teams in the National Football League. All resemble mini-corporations working under one name. Each has its own logo and franchise name.
Some of these mini-corporations have been around since the first quarter of the 20th century, while some came into the NFL around a decade ago.
With teams changing locations, changing logos and even changing franchise names, it's brought the NFL to where it is today. We'll review the best franchise logos in the league.
New England Patriots
No other logo comes close to displaying the majesty, patriotism and courage of the Patriots logo.
Sounds kind of weird, right—that a logo has these qualities?
It's the perfect logo for the only team in NFL history to go 16-0 in a regular season. They're a team that everyone loves to hate, yet consistently does well, year in and year out.
Who resembles it most?: Wes Welker or Tom Brady
Baltimore Ravens
The Ravens are franchise in existence since 1996, a year that happens to be the year they chose Ray Lewis No. 26 overall in the draft.
Ray Lewis and the fierce-looking purple with black and gold trimming has become the icons for the Ravens.
The logo matches the hard knock ways of Lewis and the city of Baltimore: tough but very interesting.
Who resembles it most?: Ed Reed
Houston Texans
The newest team in the NFL has one of the most refreshing, yet simple logos in all of sports. It resembles a bull and incorporates the colors of the Texas flag.
Who resembles it most? DeMeco Ryans or Arian Foster
Oakland Raiders
The logo of the Raiders is apparently a rendition of deceased actor Randolph Scott. The logo is of a pirate (eye patch and all) with a football helmet on, and crossing swords in the background.
The colors are plain but when you ask just about anyone which NFL team wears the Silver and Black, they will know which team you're talking about.
Who resembles it most?: Darren McFadden
Arizona Cardinals
The logo of the Arizona Cardinals has a great design to it. Not only is it the best-designed bird logo in the NFL, it's one of the best logos in the entire league.
We aren't ranking which are the best of these on here, but if we were, this would be at or near the top.
Who resembles it most?: Patrick Peterson or Kevin Kolb

here you go!
"God with us."
2 Corinthians 4
For we do not preach ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake. 6For God, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness,"made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.
7But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. 8We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; 9persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. 10We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. 11For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus' sake, so that his life may be revealed in our mortal body. 12So then, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you.
13It is written: "I believed; therefore I have spoken."With that same spirit of faith we also believe and therefore speak, 14because we know that the one who raised the Lord Jesus from the dead will also raise us with Jesus and present us with you in his presence. 15All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God.
16Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. 17For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 18So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.Holding onto the promise, challenging myself for God, doing the hardest thing for God.
if it's gonna be a rainy day there is nothing we can do to make it change we can pray for sunny weather but that wouldn't stop the rain feel like there's no place to run i can be your shelter till it's donewill you be my shelter?

These proposed regulation changes are up now, via the Secretary of State's Office at http://www.sos.mo.gov/adrules/moreg/current/v39n14/v39n14a.pdf (beginning on page 7) and primarily address the Missouri Department of Conservation's strategy to minimize the spreading of diseases such as Chronic Wasting Disease, in Missouri's deer population. Chronic Wasting Disease has been identified in some captive-deer operations and is always fatal, with no known cure as of now.
According to the Missouri Department of Conservation website (mdconline) the cliffnotes version of the proposed regulations include:
- Banning the imports of live deer from other states
- Requiring new and expanding captive-cervid facilities to improve their fencing
- All deer six months and older that perish in one of the captive facilities are to be tested for Chronic Wasting Disease
- Requiring captive facilities to establish better record keeping
- Prohibiting any new captive facilities to be built or established within 25 miles of confirmed Chronic Wasting Disease deaths
Keep in mind a healthy deer population is a huge boon to the state of Missouri, and with half a million deer hunters, two million wildlife watchers and many Missouri landowners who manage their property for deer all culminate in an annual economic benefit of a billion dollars!

How'd you get 8,530 posts in there anyhow?
Seems to me we need to have an awards ceremony complete w/a one of a kind gown styled by HR, escort you in by stretch limo, roll out the red carpet, (could line it with soldiers and swords if that would make you happy), invite you to sing one of your infamous numbers and then present you with the ultimate cure, second honeymoon, book and record deal, true story movie contract, brand new Lyme green car complete with radio and roll down windows, cruise to the destination of your choice (with your husband!) and a beautiful Lyme green gift of your choice - the sky is the limit, but it has to 'squeak' when you squeeze it!
Of course, there could be no ceremony w/out the Soj, her Rose, Gracie's mom, Gracie and Gretch moshing in the front row. Anyone else care to join us? I suspect we would be joined by your adoring fans and beneficiaries from all over the world.
Anybody else want a ticket?
Ticker tape is falling from the sky! TY for always standing at the door welcoming all who come.....
love! ~d
Wow Sojourner, what an imagination you have! Thank you for your thank you!
Speaking of stretch, make sure the gown has a lot of it! A Hummer limo that could fit a lot of Lymies would be really cool. The carpet could be "Lyme" green, and record producers and directors could line up and hand out their fabulous contract offers. The second honeymoon would be great because it would be the first. The car would need to be large enough to transport several Lymies to a non-tick destination such as an iceberg tour of Glacier Bay National Park, scuba-diving in the middle of the ocean, or a tundra buggy tour of Manitoba.
It would be fantas"tick" for all Lymies to participate. Who is interested?
Awwwwwwwwwwwww I love it!!!!!! And I could dot he guest of honor's hair, I PROMISE not to turn it green! Do you think if we went to Glacier Bay God could at least make it a warm destination for us during that time? You guys are the best. Can't wait to see what I get for my 8,000th post!
I love you all and thanks ticker for always being here for everyone to answer what we need!Peace!
eh-hem! What song will you be dazzling us with?
Can a limo really drive all the way to a glacier?? Could we see beluga whales there??
I did a quick check on the single Kayak and it holds a weight capacity of 340lbs, so I'm good to go. When I was a girl scout, I learned to flip 360; under and up. Today, I guess I'd have to depart for heaven looking upside down and underwater. But, what a memory it would be for all of you and a gr8 distraction from Lyme; b/c heaven knows you won't be able to get me turned back up there.
Anyone else coming along? You do NOT want to miss this!!
Hey Gretchen, green is my favorite color!
Ticks like warm weather, so we don't want it warm! I am trying to pick non-tick destinations.
sojourner, I do believe you can see beluga whales at Glacier Bay National Park.
I have no doubt that you still have stellar kayak-flipping capabilities! I want to see!
teenLymer, wow thank you
I love your descriptions! I can see several IV poles sticking out of the sunroof, making the limo look like a strange above-water submarine with multiple periscopes!
We could have the limo pull the kayaks so no one has to do any work!
sojourner, you will also be at the sun-roof opening ready to sing! Watch out for those IV poles!
dorit, I am glad you will be joining us!
babylymers, yes mothers do have a way of knowing things! Welcome aboard!

This felt good 🙂 had to use a mixed grip on the last deads my grip was giving out.
First row :
Then I looked at my last 2k row time and realized it was 4 sec faster….
2nd Row:
So on the second row I beat it by 1 second 🙂
45 min RTW unstructured
Did a bunch of Kettlebell work. No real structure or order. Just went and would stop just before my form deteriorated. Roughly 30-45 sec each movement. Airdyne was 60 sec
1 arm snatches 9kg
Kb stalls 20kg
2 hand swing 20kg
1 arm alt. swing 9kg
Goblet Squat 9kg
Felt really good! Hot a nice sweat going 🙂
Front squats were awesome! Felt it more in my torso than my legs which is a nice change 😉
Rows were good. Switched the weight back down as my form was not great on the set of 115#. Need 5# increment plates!
So the bear crawl was horribly hard! My quads and lungs were burning! Probably could have got 2 full rounds plus but my neighbor stopped to chat curious as to why I was crawling on the sidewalk in the pitch dark! Lol
My pull up are still feeling so weak 😦 hard for me to keep to the 3 sec tempo but I'm really trying hard to!
What should I be doing after my workouts? Anything specific in terms of cooling down and rolling type stuff? This past week my recovery has felt like crap! My legs hips and low back just don't feel like they're recovering at all before the next wko. Not complaining tho! I just feel like my recovery could / should be better.
Rest (unprogramed)
Well this was humbling and tough! I used to be a star at wall walks and could bearly do them today. When I would get to the point where my hands were a foot away from the wall my right elbow became very shakie and unstable. I only did the walk as far as I felt safe. I always felt there was something not right in my elbow on this side since I injured my "shoulder" on this side… Maybe my elbow is the culprit. Same with my arm overhead and weighted. It's a feeling that my elbow is going to give in or hyper extend. For some reason I had a brain fart and forgot to record the rounds for the first one.. More than 5 but less than 8 I would say!
Oh, btw my legs are so freaking sore today! Thank you 🙂
This was the workout from yesterday….
So the first part I could have done heavier on the CGBP, but I'm not set up to have two loaded bars on a rack at a time so I had to improvise. This made my transition between movements long and a bit awkward but I'm fairly happy with how it went. Squating with weight felt awesome, but a bit weird! Haven't done that in ages.
Second part… The lunges were hard! I did 1.5 pood for the first round but my form was crap! Switched to a 1 pood for the remaining rounds.
Rest Day… Wasn't programmed but I got home late from work and just couldn't do a workout 😦

The 17-year-old driver shot and killed by a Sacramento County sheriff's deputy Saturday night in Carmichael after a chase through neighborhoods did not have a driver's license, and authorities still are investigating what he was doing in the area, officials said Monday.
Records from the California Department of Motor Vehicles state that Sergey Makarenko began the process of applying for a license but never followed up.
His mother, Nadezhda Makarenko, said in a brief telephone interview with The Sacramento Bee that her son was driving a car the family owned but declined to comment further.
Authorities say they do not know what Makarenko, whose family lives in the Natomas area, was doing when he was spotted driving erratically near El Camino and Walnut avenues about 11 p.m. Saturday.
Sheriff's spokesman Sgt. Tony Turnbull said Makarenko was seen speeding in and out of traffic in the area and led deputies on a four- to five-minute chase that ended on Horton Lane, a street that dead-ends in what Turnbull described as a tight space.
Four deputies positioned themselves behind Makarenko's compact car and ordered him to get out of the vehicle, Turnbull said.
Instead, Turnbull said, the driver suddenly threw the car into reverse and began accelerating toward the deputies, who were 10 to 15 yards away.
One deputy, a 12-year veteran of the department, fired, killing Makarenko. No weapons were found inside the car, and Turnbull said the department had no previous contacts with Makarenko.
The deputy who fired at the car has been placed on paid leave as part of the department's standard policy while the shooting is investigated by homicide detectives and the professional standards division. The incident also will be reviewed by the Sacramento County District Attorney's Office and the inspector general, Turnbull said.

This is just to gain a little understanding of file uploading in HTML5. To keep it bonehead, I'm going to use plain-vanilla HTML and javascript, and a tiny, tiny controller in Rails. The next post will tell how to use Paperclip to attach the uploaded files.
1. Make a new rails app:
rails new bonehead
2. Rename /public/index.html to /public/old_index.html
3. Stick the following version of index.html in its place:
4. Now, we'll need a controller:
rails g controller Bounces incoming
5. then fiddle /config/routes.rb
from: get "bounces/incoming/"
to: post "bounces/incoming/"
6. Then edit your bounces_controller.rb so it looks like this:
Now, you have a "looks like it's working" version of a file uploader to play with. It doesn't save anything, which is perfect at this point. You can't hurt anything because it doesn't do anything. Have a good play with it. Here are some things to notice:
A. When HTML5 file inputs are set to "multiple," they make a FileList object. Check it out in the console (Firefox with Firebug extension works fine.) There are lots of attributes in there, but these seem to be the most important
B. HTML5 doesn't provide some of the data we like to get about files in the request, so we send it in custom headers. "X-File-Name" seems to be common practice for the file name, and 'X-Query-Params' seems to be common practice for other parameters in JSON-encoded form.
C. I added a couple of attributes to the JSON hash that might come in handy:
a 'file_model' attribute so I can say this gets attached to an 'avatar' model or an 'uploads' model or whatever.
a 'file_model_id' so I can say that this file gets attached to some particular instance of the model.
D. The bounces_controller just sends a response — It could be a lot more compliant, but this tells us what's going on.
Next, I'll start saving the files using Paperclip.

Michael R. Fletcher, author of Beyond Redemption:
WHY YOU WANT TO TALK TO MICAHEL: Former sound engineer and heavy metal guitarist Michael R. Fletcher wrote a critically acclaimed book that is basically the spirit of metal mashed up with the mechanics of a tactical RPG and the excitement of a high-octane caper movie.
Beyond Redemption is an epic fantasy, grimdark novel set in a world where delusions define reality. Thus, the crazier a person is, the more powerful—but that's a very dangerous double-edged blade. Michael Fletcher is a Canadian writer whose first novel, 88, was published by Five Rivers Publishing, a small Canadian press. His short fiction can be found in Interzone, On Spec, Daily Science Fiction, Heroic Fantasy Quarterly and Arcane. This novel grew out of his desire to write something outside of the normal tropes of fantasy, and his contemplation of rare mental disorders (like Cortard's Syndrome) in a fantasy context.

WHY YOU WANT TO TALK TO CHUCK: Chuck Wendig is the critically-acclaimed, much loved author of SFF modern classics such as the "Miriam Black" series and the "YA Heartland" novels—and now, the forthcoming sci-fi techno-thriller, Zer0es.
While modern masters like Stephenson, Dick, and Gibson explored an Internet that could be, Chuck Wendig enters a web that actually exists…but no one knows about. The story follows five hackers who get much more than they bargained for when they cut a deal with the U.S. government: their freedom in exchange for their hacking services. Chuck Wendig is also well known for his profane-yet-practical advice to writers, which he dispenses at his blog, terribleminds.com.

Danish startup Colego, which provides a marketplace for hiring businesses to bid to complete a variety of tasks, has announced that they have concluded a deal for $2 million in Series A funding from Northcap and that they are moving southward, entering the German market. Colego has attracted 50,000 users since the service launched back in 2012, which is an impressive total when you consider that they had no prior external investment, but they are now ready to go international. Colego reports that Hamburg will be the first German city that they target.
Colego functions by allowing users to search for a particular category and to then submit tasks, whether related to gardening, bookkeeping, auto-repair, legal services, or other area, describing in detail the work that the user needs completed. Users are not immediately connected with bidders, however, as Colego takes applications, verifies the task, and then submits it to companies that meet a certain quality and set of requirements. From there, the users receive 3 free price-quotes from interested contractors and move to negotiate the terms. They are not stuck if they decide that they do not particularly like any of the offers, as they can simply contact Colego and cancel the process. The search aspect is free to users, but Colego tells me that they generate revenue by taking a lead-generation fee from each company that chooses to bid on a particular task.
Colego says that they currently cover 50 professions, offering tasks to 1,700 businesses around the country.

News & Information
Sussex County Hazardous Materials Program (HAZ-MAT)
Sussex County Hazardous Materials Program
The Sussex County HAZ-MAT program has been recognized by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), as a Model Program for Hazardous Material Response. The Sussex County Department of Environmental and Public Health Services is authorized to provide the HAZ-MAT program under the County Environmental Health Act (CEHA), that certifies local health agencies to administer delegated environmental programs as part of the DEP's environmental control efforts.
Under the CEHA initiative, the Sussex County Department of Environmental and Public Health Services, formerly the Division of Health, has always been involved in specific HAZ-MAT spills, although contracted with Vernon Township for HAZ-MAT response services. The Sussex County Hazmat program was formed in late 1998, after County Administrators requested that HAZ-MAT services continued to be offered in the County shortly after Vernon's team disbanded.
The program is a collaborative effort between several Sussex County agencies including the Sussex County Sheriff's Office, the Sussex County Office of the Prosecutor, the Sussex County Division of Public Works, and the Sussex County Sussex County Department of Environmental and Public Health Services. The HAZ-MAT team currently consists of a seventeen members who must participate in training and drills several times a month, in such areas as decontamination, air-monitoring, communications, personal protective equipment, and National Incident Management/Incident Command (NIMS/ICS) course training.
All team members are required to receive training for HAZ-MAT Awareness, Operations, and Technician level response. HAZ-MAT Awareness level training teaches team members how to recognize a potential HAZ-MAT situation, while Operations level provides instruction in defensive measures. This level of training permits team members to take defensive actions during a HAZ-MAT response, such as how to stop the spread of a chemical spill or to assist in the isolation of an area until Technician level trained HAZ-MAT members arrive on scene. Technician level training focuses on recognizing and evaluating a HAZ-MAT incident, organizing and protecting the response team, identifying and utilizing response resources, employing basic control measures and decision-making skills to protect community members and the environment. There are currently eleven Technician level trained members on the Sussex County HAZ-MAT team.
The program is available to respond to environmental and public health emergencies 24 hours a day, seven days a week, using state-of-the-art HAZ-MAT equipment including response vehicles, air monitoring instruments, personal protective equipment, and De-Con units. The team responds to various calls ranging from abandoned containers, fuel and unknown chemical spills, poisonous gas leaks, fires in structures that include chemical substances, and unknown chemical odors. The HAZ-MAT program responds to an average of at least one call per week, and with the assistance of the County Office of Emergency Management and the Sussex County Public Safety Training Academy, has matured into a valuable asset and tool for the municipalities of Sussex County.

Two Birmingham men have been jailed after a fatal crash on Christmas Day in 2014 in Hall Green.
Asim Shaikh, who was a passenger in a stolen car, died five days after the incident on the Stratford Road.
Kaesar Ali, aged 27 from Clarence Road, Sparkhill, was driving a red Skoda side-by-side with a silver Ford Focus driven by Mohammed Kamran, aged 28 from Meadway, Yardley, when the crash happened.
Birmingham Crown Court heard that the two vehicles were driving at speeds of up to 78mph in a 30mph zone as they approached the junction with School Road. The two vehicles clipped each other causing the Skoda to veer off, smash into the traffic lights and overturn.
Ali and his passenger, aged 29 from Hall Green, were taken to hospital with serious injuries, but Mr Shaikh failed to recover.
Ali pleaded guilty to the death of his friend by dangerous driving and was sentenced to six years. He was also sentenced to 16 months for a further offence of dangerous driving, again in a stolen vehicle, that happened several months after the crash. He also received three years for theft and money laundering, all to run consecutively.
Kamran pleaded not guilty to death by dangerous driving and following two trials has been convicted of Mr Shaikh's death and sentenced to four years.
Both were banned from driving, Ali for eight years and Kamran for five, and both will be required to sit an extended retest before being allowed behind the wheel again.
Detective Sergeant Paul Hughes said: "This is a perfect example of how dangerous driving can change lives, not only for the victim and his family, but the drivers who risked their own lives too, and will now have to spend many years behind bars wondering if it was worth it.
"Speed limits are there for a reason, not just for busy routes, but for when roads are quiet too as this case shows."

I am new to this website, but thought I would share my story.
My mum has recently been diagnosed with Corticobasal Degeneration at the age of 49.
For over 6mths me and my sister had been back and forth to her local GP, only to be told she was suffering from depression. Understandably this was an obvious diagnosis as she has recently gotten divorced from my father. The were childhood sweethearts since the age of 12. So after over 30 years of marriage, and having never had previous boyfriends, it was only natural for mum to be depressed to such a degree that it was severely effecting her physically....right??? WRONG!
It all started with the hand tremor. Her right hand to be exact. Why was it tremoring? Was it a reaction to her depression medication? Why was she slurring her words as if unable to say what she was thinking? Why was she falling in obscure situations? And why was it almost impossible to reason with her?
These are all questions in which I needed answered. Something did not 'fit right' with me. Along we go to the doctors...again! Even on going to the doctors she walked out in front of a car. Not a good start!
So the GP looked concerned as she was unable to perform easy tasks, as in pushing away from the doctors hands, or touching her nose. Had a fall cause brain damage? I had no idea. The doctor referred her to the A&E for an urgent brain scan.
4 weeks as an inpatient later, after a CT scan, Lumbar Puncture, MRI, and EEG & finally a PET scan, we were told the horrific news that she had Corticobasal Degeneration. A very rare form of dementia which does not respond to any medication and is rapidly progressive.
My once strong, independant, love filled mother had now been turned into a shell of her former self and it is only going to get worse.
Not alot is known about the condition, but all I know is that it totally destroys a human being. I felt I needed to share this experience, because it just goes to show that if you have a gut feeling that something is wrong, dont let it lie!
To make matters worse, myself and my sister have just recently had babies (my 1st and my sisters 3rd) and they will never get to know how much love my mum would have had for them. She always put her kids and grandkids above everything and that makes me sad
She is now a permanent resident of a care home and has been since leaving hospital, 4 weeks after diagnosis. This was the only option available as we would not be able to give her the care she needed at home as per the social workers

There are a lot of submissions that WeCanFinancial.ca gets through the website and phone calls with questions about business loans for professionals. Lawyers, Doctors, Dentists all require substantial financial resources to be available to them daily to run their practices smoothly. Also many young professionals require funding for start-up, equipment and rapid expansion in many cases. In this article we will discuss several different models of funding young and established professionals with some examples added to the conversation. Our proprietary structure helps funding Doctors, Lawyers, Dentists, Psychiatrists, Accountants and Finance professionals with a specialised small business loans solution.
Most common requests that we get is a small business loans for doctors or dentists. Average cost of primary office setup or secondary office expansion in our experience is about $250k-$500k which is a significant amount which is quite often is not available to most our clients. The typical break down of such set up is about 40% equipment purchase and installation, 40% renovations, and 20% start up operating capital (numbers vary from client to client). IN our current market place most banks are not very happy financing operating cash needs, especially if practice is not established and there is no track record for the last 2-3 years from the given professional. Dentists for example require 2-3 years in order to establish their base clientele and quite often banks cannot expect good repayment history from the client unless he comes with already established clientele. Another significant hurdle that most clients face when they ask for such a financing is the fact that even though they are looking for money, bank would still expect them to invest up to 50% of the cash required up front, and the other 50% is financed assuming the deal is approved by the lending institution. Approval is extremely lengthy and difficult process, client needs to qualify through a multiple criteria and very little variation off the accepted framework may kill the deal.
Doctors on the other hand have a little bit easier times right at the moment. Because there is a shortage of family doctors and specialists in Ontario, banks are more acceptable when a Doctor establishing new practice or expanding existing one. Still a lot of financial criteria apply, together with personal credit criteria, and again up to 50% of cash needs has to be financed by the doctors themselves in many cases in order to be able to qualify for any sort of funding such as a small business loan.
Lawyers are also good candidates for a small business loan that our firm can structure. Typical lawyer start-up costs vary between 50k-100k and normally include equipment 50%, renovations 30% and operating cash flow short term needs – 20% of the budget. Funding lawyers nowadays is not an easy task, good credit plays crucial part in many of such small business loan transactions, and good net worth is always an asset. Our firm did countless transactions where, lawyers office was expanded, multiple offices were opened for the same practice, and start up small business loans were placed for young lawyers that just started their practices.
Accountants can also be funded in many occasions using small business loan program that our company developed over the years. Start-up costs for accountant office is very similar to the lawyer's office and very rarely is larger than 100k. Again in order to qualify for professional loan, accountant needs to have very strong personal credit, and in many cases verifiable net worth as well. Our firm does 2-3 accountant professional loans per year and we have a very successful track record with this group of clients.
Small business loan programs do not need to be limited to 250k as many professionals know it. Our recent transaction could be a good example. Very well-known psychiatrists came to us with a small business loan request in order to acquire a building and convert it to a professional office. We structured the deal for our client where he needed to put only 15% down (out of $2.4 Million purchase price) and our proprietary program would finance the rest. Strong points of the deal were great personal credit and several million dollars of net worth, weak points were short period of verifiable financial performance and small down payment considering the size of the purchase. The deal was done and placed in less than 6 weeks.
Our firm is always happy to review a possibility of providing small business loans to professionals, and as usually we wish you all happy funding!

Many thanks to our guest host this week, Erin Gibson! Check out her podcast Throwing Shade for more Erin every week.
Guest host Erin Gibson sits down with the veteran actor Sam Elliott. He's currently starring in FX's Justified and co-stars in the new movie I'll See You In My Dreams with Blythe Danner.
He talks to us about being resistant to change, the ways in which his on-screen roles as cowboys and bikers do (and don't) mirror his real life, how the Coen brothers snagged him for The Big Lebowski, and his stint on Parks and Recreation.
I'll See You In My Dreams is in theaters this week.

Jesse sits down with comedy writer and producer Kay Cannon. She started off her TV career writing on 30 Rock, later moving on to write and executive produce New Girl. We're also pretty sure she's the first person to tackle the world of collegiate a cappella on the big screen in the screenplay for Pitch Perfect.
Cannon returned to that world to write the sequel, Pitch Perfect 2, which is in theaters this week.
She talks to us about why she sees Pitch Perfect as a sports movie (and not as a musical), coining new lingo for the world of a cappella singers, and honing her joke-writing at 30 Rock.

Just two spots from the top, the Steelers are yet another classic uniform ranked highly because they got it right long ago, and there is likely nothing that will change their uniforms for the next 100 years.
The Steelers' owners are among the classiest in team sports, and their attitude is reflected in the organization from top to bottom. This obviously doesn't affect the jerseys, but the team's history is being maintained through their efforts, and the uniforms certainly reflect that attitude.
When you observe the black and gold jerseys, two questions arise:
Q: Why are the logos only on one side of the helmets?
A: The Steelers equipment manager was asked by the team's owner to place the new logo on one side of the helmets (which were then gold instead of black) as a test to see what it looked like. It proved to be so popular with the fans that they decided to leave it that way, and a logo was never added to the left side of the helmets.
Q: What does the logo mean?
A: I'm sounding like a broken record, but they're tapping into local culture, which is always a huge plus. The Steelers' logo is based on the Steelmark, owned by the AISI (American Iron and Steel Institute). The three colored "stars," more accurately known as asteroids, originally stood for "Steel lightens your work, brightens your leisure, and widens your world." No, I'm not kidding. Later, the colors came to represent the ingredients used in the steel-making process: yellow for coal, red for iron ore, and blue for scrap steel. The AISI allowed the Steelers to add the "ers" to the end of Steel on the left.
Today, the uniforms represent the winning tradition of their team. The Steelers are tied with the Dallas Cowboys for most Super Bowl appearances (eight), but are sole owners of the most Super Bowl wins in the NFL, with six. They are traditionally known for their tough, blue collar-ish work ethic and hard-nosed defense. The Steelers ownership, roster, coaches, fans, and uniforms all represent the work ethic of their city. What's not to love about that?

Tavon Austin's Instant Fantasy Reaction After Week 10November 10, 2013
Boom-or-bust is a phrase that defines many players who can make or break a fantasy football season. St. Louis Rams wide receiver Tavon Austin has earned that label as a player who has flashed brilliance but has struggled to produce consistently.
During Week 10, Austin displayed the boom. The question is, what does this mean for his fantasy football value?
Austin finished with two receptions for 138 yards and two receiving touchdowns of 57 and 81 yards. He added a 98-yard punt return for a score, which all adds up to three monster plays creating a career-day.
With three touchdowns of at least 57 yards, fantasy owners are inevitably intrigued.
Still, don't plan on inserting him into fantasy lineups just yet.
Regardless of who is under center, Austin has been one of the most underwhelming rookies in 2013. After registering three consecutive games with six receptions to open up the year, he's registered five catches in just one of his past six games.
It's fair to keep Austin on your bench and monitor his progression as the season goes on, but long touchdowns are too rare to make Austin a weekly start. He's failed to emerge as a reliable receiver thus far, and that's the only thing fantasy football owners need to know.
Feel free to sign Austin, but don't commit to starting him just yet.

Newsquest want to slash 20% of editorial jobs in their Herald & Times group. This is the third round of redundancies in the group in the last ten months and staff say they are ready to take action to stop these latest cuts.
Incredibly this profitable company also intend cutting 20% of jobs in the Romanes Group, their new acquisition. This small but successful publisher have turned a deficit to a profit of over £4M in the last five years, using traditional methods of selling newspapers and advertising space. Owners of the Greenock Telegraph, Dunfermline Press and titles across Ayrshire and the central belt, they have not made any editorial redundancies in recent years but now face adapting to the Newsquest culture of meeting new budgets by cutting jobs and introducing damaging savings which will impact on editorial areas.
NUJ National organiser Paul Holleran said: "This treadmill of redundancies cannot continue. I have told Newsquest it is not sustainable to keep cutting jobs without putting a robust alternative structure in place. In response they have said they will be coming back to us again later in the year for a fundamental restructure in editorial areas and they wonder why people are so angry. They should just seek an interested buyer and sell the titles if their plan is to shrink the business to nothing."
In a statutory letter to the union the company say that "newspaper revenues are declining and there is a need to cut cost and increase efficiency". However staff have pointed out the current lack of efficiency with many journalists working excessive hours with serious problems with staffing levels and poor management.
An NUJ chapel meeting of staff working at The Herald, Evening Times and Sunday Herald have voted unanimously for a ballot for industrial action including strike action. Officials will now be travelling across Scotland to address chapels in the weekly titles based in Ardrossan, Clydebank and Dunfermline as well as the daily Greenock Telegraph. A similar response is expected in respect to balloting.
Newsquest slash more jobs
