NORTH NEWTON, KAN. – For almost as long as I can remember, I have been an avid traveler. My family has taken a vacation pretty much every summer since I was in elementary school.
But while I have become familiar with much of the United States, it wasn't until the European Choir Tour this past January that I was able to expand my traveling to much of Europe as well. While I had been to Germany once before to visit some relatives and spend a few days in Berlin, Poland, Switzerland, France and The Netherlands were completely new experiences.
I thought Poland was going to feel the most "foreign." It was the one country about which I knew virtually nothing, and I didn't (and still don't) speak a word of Polish.
But when we arrived in Gdansk for our first night in Europe, I was surprised at how much I had to keep reminding myself we were in Europe. Maybe it was because I was traveling with 45 other Americans, but I actually felt more "at home" than I ever would have expected. It didn't even matter that the signs were in a language I had no hope of being able to read or that many of the people couldn't speak English.
At our first concert, the audience was very receptive and at least as appreciative as any audience we have had on tour in the United States – they even demanded several encores. Though we knew many of them couldn't understand the words to our pieces, we were still able to speak to them through our music. It was also fun to sing "Infant Holy, Infant Lowly," a Polish carol, in Polish and see them smiling as they sang along.
Germany was another highlight of the trip. Berlin was our first stop. Even with it being my second visit, I was amazed at how much there is to see and do there. The German Reichstag, the Brandenburg Gate, the Berliner Dom and the Pergamon Museum were just a few of the attractions we visited. We also got a tour of the State Prison, where people persecuted for their beliefs before German reunification were imprisoned and tortured. I was glad to have a chance to practice my German, although many Germans would switch to English as soon as they figured out I was American – I guess they wanted to practice their English on me.
Our time in Switzerland and France was fairly brief. We had our first home stay in Switzerland, where many of us first experienced staying with people who did not speak English. Another choir member and I stayed with a couple who spoke only German and French. Luckily, we were able to get by with my rudimentary knowledge of German.
France was another highlight of the trip. I wasn't quite sure what to expect from the French people because I had always heard that the French do not like Americans and are not always very polite to them. However, based on our experiences in Montbéliard, Straβburg and Geisberg, this proved to be completely wrong.
They were some of the sweetest people we met on this trip. I think my favorite home stay was in Montbéliard, where I stayed with a young married couple with a small child. They didn't speak English well, but between what they knew and my high school French, we were able to communicate just fine. There were also a couple of articles written in local French newspapers after our concerts in Montbéliard and Geisberg – front page.
The Netherlands was our last stop, with most of our time in Amsterdam. My favorite parts were going to the Van Gogh Museum and the Anne Frank House. I had read Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl back in eighth grade and learned a lot about her story and the Holocaust, so it was amazing to have the opportunity to tour the house. I found that museums are a lot more interesting when one already has background knowledge.
Overall, I had a wonderful time in Europe, and it was difficult to have to return home after several weeks there. Though there were some differences between Europe and the United States, I can't remember ever feeling too far out of my element. Sometimes language was a barrier, but it mostly felt just like any other vacation: Everything looked different, yet somehow I felt the same as I would anywhere else.

My daughter can not be comforted by anything but boob, she used to take a soother, but now absolutely refuses it. When she is tired or scared or anything she can't be calmed by ANYTHING other than boob. How do you I start weaning her off the comfort nursing and get her back on a real pacifier?
No real advice. I say if she wants to comfort nurse just let her. :)
Re: How to stop using boob as a pacifier?
lol, you don't. give it a few weeks/months. keep trying the pacifier now and then, but don't be too agressive. try different types: soothie, nuk, avent, etc. it will work eventually, but as i said, may take a while
Re: How to stop using boob as a pacifier?
What if dad gives the pacifier? Or you leave and dad looks after her?
She'll fuss more for him most likely but only until she gets used to him soothing her.
Re: How to stop using boob as a pacifier?
that's a good idea ^
as long as you're there, she's like, "well turn on the tap! why take a fake when the real thing is right here?!" i've read that babies can smell mom's milk from quite a way off. so you might just have to leave for a while when this happens until she gets used to some other soothing methods.
Re: How to stop using boob as a pacifier?
My 2nd never got over me as a paci. Not until he weaned. DS3 I made sure to put his soothy in after he was done milk. I attached it to my nipple and carried it between my boobs so it smelled like Momma milk. Unfortunately it worked and he still has it at 3 yrs old - sigh.
DS4 is 6 months old. He took a paci for only 3 months and then once my supply increased he no longer would take one. He unlatches after nursing to sleep. I notice when he is done nursing he will pop on and off the boob and rather not be latched on.
Each baby is different. If yours wants the boob as a paci, then you may not be able to break the habit for some time. I know mine that was like that lived on me.
Re: How to stop using boob as a pacifier?
neither of my kids have been big on the paci. dd will take it sometimes. ds would eagerly take it, take a couple frantic sucks, pause, realize there was no milk forthcoming, spit it out and scream in rage. every.single.time. he never did take a paci. *shrug* after a couple months, i really stopped trying. how old is your baby? after 6-8 weeks i found both of my kids started to get better about hanging out on my boob all the time. it probably took until 3 months or so though before i felt like they were mostly just nursing to eat and then being done. dd will still comfort nurse at night, but i'm usually nursing her in bed, so i can sleep too. during the day, she latches on, eats her fill, and then moves on with her life :) she's 4.5 months now. if she gets really worked up about something, then yea, generally she nurses to calm herself. she has to be REALLY worked up for nothing else to work though (ie, walking, patting her back) ds was worse about this. he was such a little boobie monster! but even he got better the older he got.
the upside to a kid who won't take a paci is that you don't have to worry about breaking them of it later! :)
Re: How to stop using boob as a pacifier?
The babies who use pacis are using them like breasts. Babies who comfort nurse are using breasts like.. well breasts. Your breasts were intended to provide comfort, security and nourishment.
Honestly I have no idea how to wean to a paci unless you are trying to wean entirely. Babies know what they want. A mama substitute is generally not desired by most babies.

Sad day. But best of luck Ichiro!
Amen Kent. If they just had someone at the top that knew baseball instead of bullshit promotions. Their entire TV presentation is so minor league that it is just embarrassing. I expect they will be showcasing Milking Contest and Sadie Hawkins Day races any day now.
Ichiro gave it 10 good years but I think in the end the losses just weighed too heavily on a guy whose game was based on excellence. I think going to a winner will be a rush for a guy who has suffered more than a decade of Mariner bad decisions at the executive level. I doubt that he will end the season with a paltry .261 average.
I'll be at Safeco Field tomorrow rooting for Ichiro all the way even if it does mean rooting for the damn Yankees by association..
To often when a marquee player gets to the end of his productive career teams and players make bad choices. We certainly seen some of those happen here as well as other places. I am really glad Ichiro is moving on it was time but I am more happy about the way that the two teams, Ichiro and the fans have handled this event it has been classy.
I agree totaly. Class all around and it's not something we see a lot of in sports these days.
We never won with him And he was a selfiah player. Never would take anything for the team. All his past teammates wanted to kick his ass.
Oh yeah. He was the real problem. Not Sexton or Figgins or Bradley or Cirillo or Bedard or Silva or Spiezio or Batista or Wakamatsu or the terrible bullpens or awful free agent signings or almost every trade Bavasi ever pulled. The big issue was the first ballot hall of famer with the 2500 hits and 10 years of gold gloves and all star selections.
He is a selfish player and they all wanted to kick his ass
Sure they did.

A TAXI driver wrestled with a knife-wielding yob in his cab after he refused to pay – just hours after the same thug terrified a shop worker with a knife.
Anthony Whitelock got into the taxi in Musgrave Walk, in Hartlepool, in the early hours - but tried to get out without paying for the fare causing the plucky cabbie to lock the doors.
As 28-year-old Whitelock tried to scramble through the seats to escape he pulled out a "substantial knife", which the terrified driver made a grab for.
During the struggle, the driver's knuckle was cut with the sharp blade.
The knife was the same weapon which Whitelock had used to try to rob a late-night town Tesco store just hours earlier.
Teesside Crown Court was told that prolific offender Whitelock, of The Front, in Seaton Carew, Hartlepool, had brandished the blade at a store worker before demanding cash from the till.
But the brave member of staff pushed him away and he fled.
The Recorder of Middlesbrough, Judge Simon Bourne-Arton, decided that the crimes were so serious that he sentenced Whitelock to five years in jail.
The judge said: "On this particular night you had taken drugs.
"You went into Tesco in pursuit of money in order to get money for drugs at 10pm at night.
"Tesco may be a large organisation but it provides a service to the local community by staying open at night and therefore those premises are vulnerable to an extent.
"You went in with a knife and having been there for half an hour under the gaze of two members of staff you realised you couldn't get away with shop lifting so you turned to an attempt of robbery.
"There were no hallmarks of professionalism about it, and you were almost bound to be recognised because unbeknown to you, your photograph was hanging on the door of the manager's office.
"Then having failed to get anything from Tesco, you hired the services of the taxi."
He added: "You got into that taxi with a knife and I have no doubt it was in determination of never paying for that taxi ride.
"In the course of the struggle, he (the driver) was injured.
"This offence was against a vulnerable individual who was providing a service to the community and it was committed during the early hours of the morning."
Whitelock pleaded guilty to wounding and possession of the knife on March 8. He was convicted of attempted robbery and a second count of possession of a knife at an earlier trial.
Mitigating, Martin Scarborough said his client was having a hard time personally at the time of the crimes as his brother, who suffered with Huntington's disease, was in a coma at the time.
He said: "On the night of the offence he was under the influence of drink or drugs or even both.
"His older brother Michael was diagnosed some time ago with Huntington's Disease, and my client intends to have the test as it is not known whether he has the gene or not.
"Around this time, his brother was actually in a coma which was very difficult for this young man."
Whitelock's offence against the cabbie driver sparked Hartlepool Borough Council to recommend the use of CCTV in taxis.
The driver, who is in his 40s, was taken to the University Hospital of North Tees, in Stockton, after the incident and needed stitches to his wounds.
Whitelock has 55 convictions for 106 offences on his record.
In July 2011 he received a nine-month prison sentence suspended for two years with supervision and a course to help him with an alcohol problem after an attempted burglary in Elwick Road.#
In January 2009, Whitelock admitted having an offensive weapon in public, a five-inch knife in Duke Street, and he was given a 12-month community order with 100 hours unpaid work and £60 costs.

Poet of the River
' A Path With No End ' (Thought) - Poem by Poet of the River
They say life is a winding road with many paths to take.
But no matter how many paths I choose,
It's always a dead end,
I have to retrace my steps to find my mistake.
Only to find it's one I cannot mend.
It's like starting a race expecting to win,
But somehow you always loose.
When the race starts you don't know where to begin.
What path to choose.
But what happens when we get to the dead end?
Do we turn around and run away so we can try again?
Do we try to win a race with no end?
Or is the dead end ware our true journey begins?

Very prescient, your exploring a very large existential mountain that everyone goes, but I like your approach.
But what happens when we get to the dead end?
Do we turn around and run away so we can try again?
To try to win a race with no end.

UMass Dartmouth students helping Panama villagers
DARTMOUTH, Mass. — A small group of University of Massachusetts Dartmouth students is taking the civil engineering they've learned in the classroom and hoping it will help a small Panamanian community get better access to clean spring water.
Five members of the UMass Dartmouth chapter of Engineers Without Borders last spring made their second annual trip of a five-year project to restore to its full capacity a drinking water system in Panama's remote Valle Las Perlas village, home to about 300 Ngoba indigenous people.
The group explained that Panama's government some 10 years ago had constructed the system, which includes an aqueduct and a large water storage tank.
Water is routed from a protected spring about a mile away, to the storage tank, and eventually circulated throughout the village, to some, but not all, homes.
It should be an adequate water supply. However, it's no longer effective.
"Half of the water entering the system is actually making it way to the tank," explained UMass Dartmouth senior Kyle Costa, who serves as the group's president. "Our goal is to rehabilitate the system."
Water sometimes only trickles through the system. When it was first built, it flowed at about a gallon per second. Now it only flows during rainy season, and the flow is much slower — it takes more than a minute and a half to fill a five-gallon bucket.
Furthermore, vandalism has compromised the above ground network of PVC pipes, which leak in several areas. And the current tank is too small.
So, the community is forced to use another nearby stream for drinking water. However, that water is not clean and particularly harmful to the community's children, members explained.
The Ngoba don't have a lot by way of modern amenities. In addition to not having running water to their homes, they also lack electricity. Instead of bathrooms, the village has latrines. However, people appeared content.
Members described their host families and villagers as friendly and welcoming.
"The first trip was to determine the feasibility of the project to see if it was even within our means as students to complete it," said Ben Mitsmenn, a graduate student. Mitsmenn served as the project leader.
"We tested at multiple taps. We also tested the water people were using when they were not getting water from the system," Mitsmenn said. Then the group, coordinating with the Peace Corps affiliate in the region, reported its findings to the community.
Mitsmenn said half the trip was public relations. "A lot of the community was a little bit confused as to why we were there in the first place, so these were things we had to clear up."
At first community members were confused over the concept of water fees. After all, water flows in nearby rivers. It's free.
"A lot of it is having to explain the context of paying for maintenance. The network we're putting in has to be maintained," said Rola Hassoun, the group's treasurer.
"They were really excited in what we were doing," added vice president Jackie Buenrostro.
At first, the students wanted to install taps at every household.
However, after assessment that proved to be unfeasible. So they will install new tap stands throughout the community.
The system would be refurbished using materials from local hardware suppliers, including concrete and piping.
And it will be designed with population growth in mind, to meet the demands of 600 people. It would hopefully be sustainable for 20 years. The new design include a 6,000-gallon tank.
Now the project is in the design phase. Next spring members will return to begin implementing their plans.
"Panama is a beautiful country. People in the community were so wonderful. They very cooperative, very engaged and really excited to help them help themselves," said Hassoun.
The trip began with a flight from Logan International to Panama City. Then a 10-hour car ride from the airport to Valle Las Perlas, located within the northwestern province of Bocas del Toro, near the Costa Rican border.
The car ride was probably the most uncomfortable part of the trip.
"There's definitely not a shortage of fresh water in Panama," said Costa. "The problem is just getting it to people's houses."

Mubarak set to seal Rubin Kazan move
Wakaso Mubarak finally looks set to join Rubin Kazan from Espanyol in a transfer worth a reported €6 million.
Mubarak, 23, who has been linked with Premier League clubs including Swansea and Everton, will either leave for the Russian club or agree to stay at Espanyol for another season, Pericos president Joan Collet told Mundo Deportivo.
"The Wakaso story should be sorted out within 24 hours," Collet said. "He will either go to Rubin or, in the end, remain here."
Former Elche and Villarreal playmaker Wakaso made 27 appearances for Espanyol last term, but scored just once and picked up 17 yellow and two red cards.
The future of the Ghana international has been up in the air all summer, with Collet previously voicing frustration that he had turned down a much-improved contract offer, and he did not feature in the club's opening weekend draw at Celta Vigo.
According to Mundo Deportivo, should Wakaso be sold for €6 million, Villarreal would receive 25% of that figure, with the taxman also getting a chunk due to a previous agreement with the heavily-indebted Catalan club.

Lady Ga Ga Quotes
I'm just trying to change the world, one sequin at a time." So spoke one of today's popular entertainers. She has had a number of more controversial quotes, however. She also said:
"I want women -- and men -- to feel empowered by a deeper and more psychotic part of themselves. The part they're always trying desperately to hide. I want that to become something that they cherish.
"I'm telling you a lie in a vicious effort that you will repeat my lie over and over until it becomes true"
When she was called by one of her interviewers, "The Billy Graham of pop," she said that she wants to "free (her fans) of their fears and make them feel . . . that they can create their own space in the world. I am teaching people to worship themselves."
She further said, "I've been trained to love my darkness . . . I don't want 5 dollars in your pocket, I want your soul."
These are all quotes of Lady Gaga. She make think she's innovative, but, quite honestly, her heart only reflects the tired mantra of another public figure who sought to teach rebellion. It was Satan who said, "I will be like the Most High." It was Satan who began this whole practice of teaching people to "worship themselves." And it is Satan who continues to tempt you and me to trade our God-focus for self-worship.

8. Picture of Sty (Stye)
A sty (stye) is a painful eye infection that occurs along the lash line. It results when oil glands on the eyelid become blocked. Symptoms of a sty include pain, swelling, and redness. This causes irritation, and the patient with a sty may get the urge to scratch. Other symptoms may include excess tearing, light sensitivity, and discomfort during blinking. The center of the sty may contain a white or yellow spot of pus. Treatment of a sty includes applying warm compresses to the area several times a day to encourage rupture and drainage of the area. Attempting to rupture the sty is not recommended as this may make the infection worse. In some cases, a doctor may lance the sty after numbing the area with a local anesthetic.

ICLRMetaHostPolicy::GetRequestedRuntime Method
Updated: March 2012
Provides an interface to a preferred version of the common language runtime (CLR) based on a hosting policy, managed assembly, version string, and configuration stream. This method does not actually load or activate the CLR, but simply returns the ICLRRuntimeInfo interface that represents the policy result. This method supersedes the GetRequestedRuntimeInfo, GetRequestedRuntimeVersion, CorBindToRuntimeHost, CorBindToRuntimeByCfg, and GetCORRequiredVersion methods.
HRESULT GetRequestedRuntime( [in] METAHOST_POLICY_FLAGS dwPolicyFlags, [in] LPCWSTR pwzBinary, [in] IStream *pCfgStream, [in, out, size_is(*pcchVersion)] LPWSTR pwzVersion, [in, out] DWORD *pcchVersion, [out, size_is(*pcchImageVersion)] LPWSTR pwzImageVersion, [in, out] DWORD *pcchImageVersion, [out] DWORD *pdwConfigFlags, [in] REFIID riid [out, iid_is(riid), retval] LPVOID *ppRuntime);
[in] Required. Specifies a member of the METAHOST_POLICY_FLAGS enumeration, representing a binding policy, and any number of modifiers. The only policy that is currently available is METAHOST_POLICY_HIGHCOMPAT.
Modifiers include METAHOST_POLICY_EMULATE_EXE_LAUNCH, METAHOST_POLICY_APPLY_UPGRADE_POLICY, METAHOST_POLICY_SHOW_ERROR_DIALOG, METAHOST_POLICY_USE_PROCESS_IMAGE_PATH, and METAHOST_POLICY_ENSURE_SKU_SUPPORTED.
[in] Optional. Specifies the assembly file path.
[in] Optional. Specifies the configuration file as a System.Runtime.InteropServices.ComTypes.IStream.
[in, out] Optional. Specifies or returns the preferred CLR version to be loaded.
[in, out] Required. Specifies the expected size of pwzVersion as input, to avoid buffer overruns. If pwzVersion is null, pcchVersion contains the expected size of pwzVersion when GetRequestedRuntime returns, to allow pre-allocation; otherwise, pcchVersion contains the number of characters written to pwzVersion.
[out] Optional. When GetRequestedRuntime returns, contains the CLR version corresponding to the ICLRRuntimeInfo interface that is returned.
[in, out] Optional. Specifies the size of pwzImageVersion as input to avoid buffer overruns. If pwzImageVersion is null, pcchImageVersion contains the required size of pwzImageVersion when GetRequestedRuntime returns, to allow pre-allocation.
[out] Optional. If GetRequestedRuntime uses a configuration file during the binding process, when it returns, pdwConfigFlags contains a METAHOST_CONFIG_FLAGS value that indicates whether the <startup> element has the useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy attribute set, and the value of the attribute. Apply the METAHOST_CONFIG_FLAGS_LEGACY_V2_ACTIVATION_POLICY_MASK mask to pdwConfigFlags to get the values relevant to useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy.
[in] Specifies the interface identifier IID_ICLRRuntimeInfo for the requested ICLRRuntimeInfo interface.
[out] When GetRequestedRuntime returns, contains a pointer to the corresponding ICLRRuntimeInfo interface.
When this method succeeds, it has the side effect of combining additional flags with the current default startup flags of the returned runtime interface, if and only if one or more of the following elements exist in the configuration stream within the <configuration><runtime> section:
<gcServer enabled="true"/> causes STARTUP_SERVER_GC to be set.
<etwEnable enabled="true"/> causes STARTUP_ETW to be set.
<appDomainResourceMonitoring enabled="true"/> causes STARTUP_ARM to be set.
The resulting default STARTUP_FLAGS value is the bitwise OR combination of the values that are set from the preceding list with the default startup flags.
This method returns the following specific HRESULTs as well as HRESULT errors that indicate method failure.
The method completed successfully.
pwzVersion is not null and pcchVersion is null.
pwzImageVersion is not null and pcchImageVersion is null.
dwPolicyFlags does not specify METAHOST_POLICY_HIGHCOMPAT.
dwPolicyFlags includes METAHOST_POLICY_APPLY_UPGRADE_POLICY, and both pwzVersion and pcchVersion are null.

(Bay City News) A wanted parolee considered armed and dangerous was shot and wounded by police this morning on a busy San Francisco thoroughfare during the morning commute.
Investigators had been searching for the 36-year-old man, who was wanted on a $75,000 warrant and is believed to have fired an assault weapon last week, police said.
This morning, they received information that he was in the 1000 block of Gough Street.
Two plainclothes officers spotted him near the corner of Gough and Ellis streets a few minutes before 8 a.m., Police Chief Greg Suhr said.

The officers identified themselves and tried to apprehend the man, but he shot at them and tried to escape in a gray four-door Honda Accord, police said.
The officers returned fire, hitting the suspect, and he crashed into a parked car in the 1000 block of Gough Street, according to police.
The man was taken to San Francisco General Hospital to be treated for injuries that are not life-threatening, Dangerfield said. Police are now interviewing him and have not yet released his name.
No one else was injured in the shooting.
Investigators recovered two weapons from inside the Honda -- an AK47 assault rifle and a handgun, police said.
Several blocks of Gough Street were shut while detectives surveyed the crime scene.
A gardener who was planting a tree at Jefferson Square Park near the corner of Gough and Eddy streets said he heard two distinct shots, followed by heavy gunfire.
Immediately after the succession of gunshots, the gardener heard a loud crash. He said he ran toward the Honda Accord, shovel in hand, and saw two plainclothes officers crouched near the car with guns pointed at vehicle.
The driver was slumped over the wheel and his head was moving slightly, said the gardener, who didn't want to be identified.
"Cops were here in rapid time," he said.
Peter Gorman, who lives on Ellis near Gough, also said he heard two shots then a rapid succession of five to 10 shots.

He later went outside with his dog to see what had happened and found the street filled with police.
Sacred Heart Cathedral Preparatory is located near where the shooting happened, but a woman answering the phone there said the school was not affected.

Story highlights
- Apple, Google and Microsoft are entering the television market and releasing new products
- Some believe high-tech TVs won't sell and will only add confusion to a simple pleasure
- Many are content with the easy functionality of watching TV and do not want changes
The technology industry is absolutely bent on reinventing television.
According to Walter Isaacson's biography of Steve Jobs, one of his last big accomplishments was figuring out how to make a better TV.
"I'd like to create an integrated television set that is completely easy to use," Jobs told his biographer. "It would be seamlessly synced with all of your devices and with iCloud....It will have the simplest user interface you could imagine. I finally cracked it."
Since then, the world has gone crazy speculating about how great this iTV (or whatever it's called) will be. It will apparently be powered by Siri, Apple's voice controlled assistant that appeared in the iPhone 4S earlier this year. Analyst Gene Munster thinks it will come in several sizes, be controllable from your iPhone or iPad, and -- this is Apple after all -- cost twice the price of a normal TV.
Apple isn't alone.
Google just released the second version of its Internet-meets-TV software, Google TV. This is despite the fact that first version was such a flop that hardware partner Logitech had more Google TV returns than sales in the first quarter of 2011. (Not surprisingly, Logitech is not going to be on board for round two.)
Microsoft is also getting into the act again, after countless failed attempts stretching back almost two decades. (Remember WebTV?) This time, it's teamed up with TV providers like Comcast and Verizon FiOS to deliver shows to the Xbox 360 game console. The big benefit: users will be able to search for shows by giving voice commands to Kinect, the nifty Xbox add-on that recognizes voice and gestures.
Smaller companies like Roku and Boxee are also in the game.
But nobody seems to be able to answer the big question: what exactly is so broken about TV anyway?
It's true that the TV guide in most cable systems is pretty awful -- it looks like Yahoo circa 1994. It's a pain fiddling with a bunch of different remotes. It might be kind of nice to watch YouTube videos on a big screen in the living room.
But I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that most TV viewers simply won't care enough about any of this stuff to shell out $1,500 for a new Apple TV, or spend a few hundred bucks and countless hours fiddling around adding a new box to their TV set and figuring out how it works.
All of these are destined to be niche products at best -- just like every other attempt to improve TV over the last 20 years.
Here's why.
The tech industry is filled with engineers and geeks. They naturally want to optimize the TV experience, to make it as efficient and elegant as possible, requiring the fewest number of steps to complete a particular task while offering the greatest number of amazing new features.
But normal people don't think about TV that way. TV is passive. The last thing we want to do is work at it.
And right now, we're not working that hard. It's not that tough to keep track of a few favorite shows -- Breaking Bad is on Monday, NFL games happen on Sunday, SportsCenter is every night at 11, and CNN is on channel 56 if something big is happening in the Middle East or Washington. You turn the set on, turn to the right channel, and that's it. Done.
The rest of the time, we're not all that picky. As long as there's something on -- anything -- that is reasonably engaging, we're cool. Most of us are even OK spending a few minutes just shuffling through channels at random. (Remember -- "channel surfing" was used to describe this habit long before "Web surfing" came around.)
Over the years, Steve Jobs himself identified a lot of the reasons why it's hard to change the TV industry. Cable companies give set top boxes away, which makes it hard for anybody else to break in. The cable industry is "balkanized," which makes it hard to pick a single partner like Apple did with AT&T and the iPhone.
But the real clue comes, again, from the Isaacson biography. Jobs talks about having a really tough time balancing his return to Apple in 1997 with his obligations as CEO of Pixar. "I would go to work at 7 a.m. and get back at 9 at night and the kids would be in bed. And I couldn't speak, I literally couldn't, I was so exhausted....All I could do was watch a half hour of TV and vegetate."
That's why we love TV just the way it is. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

WE have an old house from 1850's with a wrap around porch that has a beautiful curve(1/2 circle) but the porch floor needs replaced. Can't afford tongue/groove which would be the ideal thing (or the new non-wood wood) but do not know what wood to use?
Out of work carpenter wants to put in DECKING but we think the color and having the boards so far apart would wreck the "look"!
This "carpenter" told hubby not to use Southern pine as "Pine is soft wood and you'd never want that" :confused: but we heard that is the top wood to use.
What can we use on a "retired" budget and should it be painted on all sides (including the bottom/sides) be painted or only top? --

hi im currently leveling a sith marauder i was wondering which tree was the best way to go about leveling.
hi im currently leveling a sith marauder i was wondering which tree was the best way to go about leveling.
I leveled Annihilation. It's quite good - has good burst, sustained, and self healing.
Reddfoxx the Warrior | @ReddfoxxMX | SWTOR Sentinel Reddfoxx, Marauder Reddfox @ The Harbinger Server
I levled a bit as Carnage, but then i respecced to Annihilation and it went much better, so i'd recommend annihilation aswell.
There is only one workable Mara spec atm and it's Annihilation. Focus works fine but you may aswell have just rolled a Jugg instead, their toolset just suits it better (got a 50 Mara and working on lvl 44 Guardian as new main so thats not just an assertion) and Carnage whilst workable just doesn't compare to Annihilation. So ye....level as Anni and stay Anni, the self healing does wonders for your downtime and it's got the best sustained DPS of the 3 trees.
i've tried 10-20 as annihilation and although the marauder class isn't my kind of class, i still enjoyed it.
Which is the best solo class?
anhilation with its improved mobility and self heals is top lols. was initially carnage but anhi is much more fun. having to use a game pad to cope with all the binds needed though.
I personally leveled carnage/combat.. but then I also leveled with a sage and vanguard... so I didn't need to worry about survivability to much. If you are going to solo a lot, Annihilation/Watchman would probably be the easiest. At least until you get your healing companion.
Carnage and splashed points in annihilation worked best for me, but you can google it and see some pretty decent cookie cutter build just to help boost survivability if thats your issue. Which it was for me after about level 30.

The top 787 executive for Vought, which is supplying the aft fuselage for the Dreamliner, has been fired, the Seattle P-I has learned.
Ted Perdue was vice president of the 787 division for Vought Aircraft, a position he was appointed to in October 2006.
A Vought spokeswoman said Thursday that Perdue "resigned" to pursue other interests. But a Boeing source said Perdue was fired because Boeing was not happy with Vought's 787 operations in Charleston. An industry source confirmed that Perdue was asked to resign.
The sources did not have details of the problems that led to Perdue's abrupt resignation.
But Boeing has acknowleged problems with some of its 787 suppliers, including Vought, who are responsible for production of the composite wings and fuselage sections of the Dreamliner. Boeing has also said these issues are being addressed and will not prevent the Dreamliner from being delivered on time next May to All Nippon Airways of Japan.
Perdue apparently was sacked late last month, around the time that final assembly started in Everett on the first 787. See this report.
Also read about the 787 fastener shortage.
This is a bio of Perdue, previously on Vought's Web site.
Ted Perdue is Vice President of the 787 Division for Vought Aircraft Industries, Inc., a position he was appointed to in October 2006. Mr. Perdue leads all aspects of the Boeing 787 program execution for Vought, including manufacturing at the company's production site in North Charleston, South Carolina, where fuselage sections 47 and 48 are built. He is responsible for supply chain management, product development, customer relations, and bottom-line performance for the division. He also is responsible for property management and site development for the entire South Carolina campus.
In addition, Mr. Perdue will oversee Vought's interest in its 50/50 joint venture with Alenia North America, called Global Aeronautica, LLC. The joint venture company will assemble and integrate more than 60 percent of the 787 fuselage.
Since January 2005, Mr. Perdue served as Program Director of the 787 program for Vought, and he has been involved in the program since its inception. Prior to his 787 assignments, he held executive positions for Vought as the Director of Technical Operations from January 2000 to January 2001 and as the Director of New Airplane Programs from February 2001 to December 2004.
Mr. Perdue has 24 years of experience in the aerospace business. He began his career at General Dynamics Corporation in Fort Worth, Texas, as a loads engineer on the F-16XL Fighter development program. He joined Vought's predecessor company, LTV Aerospace and Defense, in 1984 as a composite structures analyst on the B-2 Bomber and participated in several other development programs for both military and commercial customers. He subsequently has held a number of management positions during the last two decades, including program management positions on the B-2 Bomber, A/F-X Fighter, the Gulfstream V, the Boeing 747X, and his previous role on the 787.
Mr. Perdue received his undergraduate degree in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering from Oklahoma State University and performed his postgraduate work in Aerospace Engineering at the University of Texas, Arlington.
Here's my story on the fired executive.
Below is more from the June 4 report on Vought's problems by Heidi Wood of Morgan Stanley, who toured the Charleston plant a week ago.
We visited Vought Aircraft Industries' (owned by the Carlyle Group) 787 aerostructures production facilities last week in Charleston, SC, and came away with greater depth of appreciation for the challenges that remain. Having recently visited the 787 fuselage plants at other suppliers, Spirit Aerosystems (Wichita, KS) and Alenia (Puglia region in southern Italy), Vought's factory was not wholly unfamiliar to us.
As with the other companies, we were greeted with a huge state-of the art clean room facility, complete with the large mandrels that form the shape of the fuselage pieces, the barrel winders, the robotic carbon tape laying machines, and the cavernous autoclave. However, unlike the other suppliers,Vought still seemed to be in setup mode. Though not expressly alarming, the trip brought squarely to our attention just how much work BA and its supply base needs to get to achieve the initial rates of 7/month we are projecting.
Key points:
• Vought Aircraft Industries' 787 factory tour
brought home just how much work lays ahead for
some suppliers
• Did Vought's restructuring/liquidity issues create
management distractions at 787 expense?
Vought Aircraft Industries' 787 factory tour brought home just how much work lays ahead for some suppliers: Last week's tour to Vought Aircraft Industries' 787 fuselage production facilities in Charleston, SC provided a chance to see Sections 47 and 48, the last two sections on the plane being made. Across the parking lot, was the facility where Global Aeronautica, a JV with Alenia, joins the fuselage sections from the two companies (See Exhibit 1).
With knowledge of the 787 fuselage factories of Spirit Aerosystems and Alenia, we seized the chance to check on yet another aerostructures supplier. This tour was to prove somewhat more different. While the other tours boosted confidence in the program as they seemed to be further along than we might have expected, the Vought tour left us wondering as to whether Vought might be on track or potentially a bit behind track.
To be fair, Vought has a complex piece of the fuselage, as both sections are conical as the fuselage tapers towards the back of the plane. They also have two sections vs. others who manufacture just one. Moreover, Vought faces the additional complication of putting the two sections together. This past March, at their investors conference, one supplier said they had delivered 2 sections to Boeing, had 4 more in production and were ready for 7/month production rate. That was two months ago.
Three weeks ago, Alenia had delivered 2 ship sets and had 3 more in production (like Vought, they make two fuselage sections per ship set.)
Considering the progress of the others, while admittedly hard to measure or calibrate comparisons accurately, we only note that Vought has delivered one ship set so far, with five in production.
Recognizing that the facility is all new and that management is relatively new, CEO Elmer Doty have been at Vought for slightly over a year, its potentially just as defensible to admire that they were able deliver 1 ship set so soon.
Moreover, we have some idea of the number of work issues with some of Alenia's nevertheless 'on time' pieces. Perhaps one would find Vought's schedule less timely but workmanship and detailing better. It is too unclear as outsiders to really know, beyond describing and being thoughtful about what we saw.
Having said that, from a total program perspective, it seemed in our view that Vought's progress has not been as steady, and with current cycle time at > 40 days, there is clearly need for significant improvement to go before 7/month.

While it was Chinese Taipei that held Myanmar to a surprising 1-1 draw, the loudest cheer might perhaps have been heard from the Indian contingent, as their road to the 2014 AFC Challenge Cup in Maldives got a tad easier.
While the Blue Tigers themselves were lucky to get away with all three points against Taipei, Robin Singh's injury time goal looks all the more invaluable now!
A win for the White Angels against Taipei would have meant that Wim Koevermans' side had to beat Myanmar to get an automatic slot for the 2014 main edition, as their goal difference would have been inferior to the host nation, who had won 5-0 against Guam.
However, the tables have been turned and now all India need to do against Myanmar is, hold on for a point.
As if that wasn't enough, in a further respite to the Blue Tigers' somewhat shaky defense, Sung-Hwa Park has major injury issues up-front, meaning that Kyi Lin will most likely start in attack, and the 20-year old's lack of experience might play into India's hands.
India need to be at their best, from the start against Myanmar...
Wim Koevermans though, knows that they cannot allow complacency to set in. Even against Guam, India shockingly went into half-time, tied at 0-0, leading to outrage amongst fans in several forums.
What followed in the second half though was certainly a soothing balm to the Indian football faithful's nerves, but a similar cold start against a better team in the shape of Myanmar, might not end so happily.
The Dutchman has continued to use Jewel Raja in-behind Sunil Chhetri. While the Mohun Bagan player definitely adds a lot of mobility, while also helping out in keeping possession, it largely isolates Chhetri alone up-front.
This means the team lacks bite in the attack, meaning that more work has to be put in by the wingers, with Koevermans now looking at them to not only provide penetration down the wings, but also drifting into the box, to provide more options in attack.
While the inclusion of Izumi Arata and Francis Fernandes added creativity and pace at half-time to India's attack, it is highly unlikely that the former will start, as the Dutchman has great faith in the double defensive pivot of Lenny Rodrigues and Mehtab Hussain.
Francis though, will in all likelihood start, with Syed Rahim Nabi making way. It has been a stunning and sudden slide for the Mohun Bagan man, who only a few months ago was one of the first names on the team-sheet.
Plenty to ponder over...
His poor display against Palestine finally convinced Koevermans to look at other options at left-back, while Clifford Miranda and Francis Fernandes seem to be his players of choice, as illustrated on Monday, when the Salgaocar FC player was bought in, just after half-time, in a bid to spruce up the attack.
It might though, not be a bad idea to use Nabi at right-back, a position that he has filled in before, with the Dutch coach still not able to make up his mind between Denzil Franco and Nirmal Chettri, who offer different attributes in that position.
Overall though, India look primed to make it to the 2014 AFC Challenge Cup edition. However while the onus will be on Myanmar to take up the initiative, the Blue Tigers themselves will be under pressure, as the fans of the home side will try to make the atmosphere as intimidating as possible. The possible backlash that could await them on their return, if they falter, also possibly at the back of their mind.
This sets us all up for what promises to be an entertaining game, which would show the fans, how far the Koevermans revolution has progressed, with the Indian national team.

British Orchard Nursery provides quality learning through the British Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Curriculum.
At BON, we use a Baseline Assessment book. Each child that attends our nursery will leave with one of these assessment books. This book will be their record of achievement during their time with us. It allows us to monitor the next steps for each child in their education and signposts how we can help them move forward.
We provide a language rich learning environment which gives children opportunities for speaking and listening and for sharing their ideas and feelings. Through listening to stories and sharing a wide range of books, the children will develop a love of reading. At the same time, they will learn about the shapes and sounds of letters through songs, rhymes and our Jolly Phonics programme. We also provide opportunities for the children to understand the relationship between the spoken and written word and to develop their mark making; attempting to write for themselves, making lists, captions, cards and writing their own stories with words and pictures.
BON caters to the multicultural environment in UAE with additional language offerings. BON is proud to support local heritage by offering Arabic language classes in all locations. BON also provides French classes at its branches. Children learn through fun and interactive activities, songs, and artwork. Their progress is monitored throughout the term and parents are informed weekly through our reports. For more information about languages at BON, please contact a branch near you.
Children are encouraged to develop their experience of numbers, pattern, shapes and measurement through play and structured contexts. Their understanding develops as they talk through what they are doing. Activities that develop mathematical thinking include jigsaws, play dough, threading and lacing, sand, water, cookery, role and imaginative play, the track area and construction. Children use numbers in play and learn to recognize and use them later to develop their mathematical ideas and solve problems including addition and subtraction.
Physical Development helps children to gain confidence in what they can do. It enables children to feel the benefits of being healthy and active and develop a positive sense of well-being. We promote opportunities for the healthy development of children's bodies and physical skills through opportunities for indoor and outdoor play. Activities to promote gross motor skills include participation in the grass, garden and track area as well as the swimming pools where they are running, jumping, hopping, skipping, riding tricycles, throwing and catching balls and bean bags and watering plants. Fine motor skills are encouraged using a variety of resources including play-dough, paint, crayons, scissors, beads and puzzles.
Personal, Social and Emotional Development is made up of the following aspects: Dispositions and Attitudes, Self-Confidence and Self-Esteem, Making Relationships, Behaviour and Self-control, Self-care and Sense of Community. We provide an environment which makes learning exciting and develops curiosity. Children can become independent and self-confident, making positive relationships with their peers and adults, working alongside others companionably and co-operatively. They will develop a sense of community in this way and an appreciation of their own needs, views and cultures as well as those of other people and to understand the similarities and differences between them in our diverse society.
Understanding of the World involves supporting children's development as they try to make sense of the world around them. Children learn about their own and other people's cultures in order to appreciate the similarities and differences between them in a diverse society. They are encouraged to explore and investigate materials and the natural world, to learn about change and patterns, to recognize similarities and differences, and to question how things work. We help them to use a variety of tools and techniques to assemble materials creatively and safely. They will also develop an understanding of technology through using programmable toys and the computer.
Expressive Arts & Design involves extending children's creativity, curiosity, exploration, and play. We encourage the development of children's creativity through opportunities to learn about and share their thoughts, ideas, and feelings through a mixture of art, music, movement, dance, imaginative and role-play activities. Children explore a variety of media working with color, texture, shape, space and form. They develop their imagination through stories, role play, dance, music and musical instruments. All of the children are encouraged both to express their individuality and to acquire new skills through a wide range of exciting activities.
BON encourages innovative thinking & the biggest innovative intervention in curriculum delivery at BON is creating our "Baseline Assessment Book" using the British Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework, a comprehensive overview for the early learning goals of each child.

With the right preparation, you can get ready for the winter sport season with a powerful start. Well-trained muscles enable you to more precisely maintain control, which allows for more sporting fun while reducing the chance for injury. The following exercises will help you get your muscles in shape, even before the first snow falls.
Lateral lunges
Strengthens: buttocks and hamstrings, quadriceps.
Stand with your back straight and your knees slightly bent. Extend one leg to the side. Slowly place your weight on the other leg and bend your knee further. Hold this position for several seconds. Make sure that you keep your back straight.
Variations: Place your arms at your side to practice this exercise more easily. Extend your arms out in front of you to increase the difficulty for this exercise.
The bridge

Variations: as you improve, you can additionally use ankle weights.
Lateral leg lifts
Strengthens: abductor muscles and hip stability.
Lie on your side bending the knee of the bottom leg. Extend the other leg straight and slowly raise and lower it. Repeat 10 to 20 times for each leg.
Variations: you can use ankle weights for this exercise as you improve.
Lateral stabilising
Strengthens: oblique abdominal muscles, back.
Lie on your side and lift and support your body using only your lower arm and your feet. Hold this position for 30 to 60 seconds for each side.
Leg lifts
Strengthens: hip and abductor muscles.
Lie on your side and use your lower arm to support your upper body. Bend your top leg so that the sole of your foot rests flat on the ground. Extend your bottom leg straight and slowly raise and lower it. Repeat 10 to 20 times for each leg.
Variations: you can increase the difficulty for this exercise by adding ankle weights.
Speed skater
Strengthens: the ability to compensate for uneven surfaces and bumps.
Lightly jump from one foot to the other. Balance your weight on the leg that you land on before you hop back to the other leg.
Monkey kick
Strengthens: buttocks.
Kneel down, get on all fours and extend one leg in the air, bent approximately at a 90-degree angle. Extend your foot, keeping it straight. Raise and lower your leg 10 to 20 times for each side.
Wall seat
Strengthens: thigh muscles and buttocks.
Stand with your back against the wall and lower your upper body so that your knees form a right angle. Pay attention that your feet are flat on the ground and parallel to one another. Hold this position for 30 to 120 seconds.

Rick Pitino told a great story on the radio about how close he came to taking the job as Michigan's basketball coach in 2001. As everyone knows, Pitino opted for the Louisville job, instead. The Freep has transcribed Pitino's interview with Sirius Radio. The bold is mine:
"The day that I committed to Louisville (in 2001), I signed an agreement to be the next head coach of Michigan, and I was fired up to be the coach at Michigan," Pitino said during an interview on SiriusXM radio this week. The athletic director at the time, who's no longer there, was playing squash, and my wife came up, she just didn't want me to go to the West Coast, UNLV, and be away from the children. She agreed, 'OK, let's go to Michigan.'"
"I was living right on Thom Avenue in Boston, and she came up and threw her book at me, and said, 'You know, you're afraid to go tot Kentucky.' It's once every two years, what's the big deal? They're going to boo you, they're going to yell things, for one game. What is the big deal? You don't know anybody at Michigan, you've never been there, and now you're going to pass on all your friends and your children, you're older son, who's settled down there, why would you do that?'
"'You always say in this book you wrote that you'd rather live one day as a lion than 1,000 as a lamb.' She said, 'I didn't know I was married to a curse word, and a lamb.' She went down the stairs. She said, 'I don't understand any of this. The game of life is more important than the game of basketball. Your children are (in Kentucky), they grew up there. We need to go back to Louisville, and (athletic director) Tom Jurich is the guy you need to work for.
"I tried to call the AD at Michigan between 12 and 1. I had a false name I would give him, a fake name, and he would call me back. I couldn't get a hold of him because he was playing squash. The secretary said he demands that he doesn't get interrupted unless it's an emergency, and if you want, you can leave a voicemail. I left a voicemail and went to Louisville, and I'm really happy I did."
Well done, Bill Martin. The best part of the story? Martin was hired by Michigan in 2000. So less than a year after getting hired, he decided squash was more important than hiring a successful, popular basketball coach. Michigan ended up with Tommy Amaker, who recruited well, but flamed out spectacularly, never making the NCAA tournament during his six years in Ann Arbor. [Freep]

Colors, Brands, and Competition
I almost never think anything in business is a zero-sum game, least of all intangible things like branding or aesthetics. But some part of me thinks that a lot of last year's success of the Livestrong brand (and those ubiquitous bracelets) must have come at the expense of the sales of NYPD and FDNY gear. There may only be room in the public consciousness for one "public empathy" brand, and if so, that would also explain why so many of the other attempts at making colored bracelets haven't succeeded.
Also, given that the Livestrong yellow color took off last year at the same time that the iPod was ascending to its status as a cultural icon, how come nobody at Apple wanted to pair up and make a bright yellow iPod? Half the iPods available today come in black, so the white color's already not as pure a representation of iPods anyway, and safety yellow is probably the only color that's as high-impact as white.
There's also a lot of missed opportunities for third parties: one thing that amazes me about iPod headphones is that the cheap knockoff audio brands that I see at airports (I'm looking at you, Coby...) still aren't selling generic white earbuds with their low-end products. People who are deciding between two identical $30 CD players at an airport would probably choose the one with the white headphones if it means they might get mistaken for one of the cool kids. And losing the monopoly on white headphones (which still doesn't seem to have happened, despite the PSP using white phones) would actually force Apple to innovate on their iPod marketing, which has pretty much stagnated since they switched from first-person testimonials in front of a white screen to dancing silhouettes.
There's a real challenge there... what do you do with the white headphones in ads if most iPods being sold don't have them? Cordless headphones, black earbuds, the entire iconography of iPod ads could be obsolete in a year if Apple's product team wanted to make that happen. And they'll need to be ready for the inevitable backlash, once the iPod has truly reached its saturation point (meaning the people who are on their second or third iPods start to get upgrade fatigue) and people are hungry for a new visual to go along with the player.
Maybe they could find a way to make owning an iPod seem like it'll cure cancer.

In a crackdown on bogus ration cards, the central government Monday asked all those holding these counterfeit cards to surrender these or face prosecution. The move follows a Supreme Court (SC) direction. "All the families or persons holding bogus and ineligible ration cards under the public distribution system are hereby warned to surrender the same to the concerned authorities forthwith, otherwise criminal prosecution shall be initiated against them," a release of Delhi's consumer affairs, food and public distribution ministry said. The ministry said it has also written to the governments of all states and union territories (UT) apprising them of the SC's direction to authorities to weed out bogus ration cards holders. The SC issued the direction Aug 31 while adjudicating a lawsuit on various maladies plaguing the public distribution system. The lawsuit, still pending with the court, was filed by the People's Union for Civil Liberties. All state governments and UTs have been asked to issue advertisements highlighting the apex court's directions and warning citizens that they would be liable to be prosecuted if they fail to surrender their bogus ration cards within 2 weeks of the publication of advertisement.

Don't the locks on the 'good-eating.com' server refer to the URI in the review - that is, the restaurant web site? And you can't lock that because it is not in your control. Although you said my scenario was 'unnecessarily complicated', it's the only solution I can see - that is, to introduce another WebDAV server (or a new container within the review server) that contained references to the reviews on the good-eating.com server you just described. *Then* you can have locking on the reviews, and then you can search for "reviews that are currently locked by Jim", or were "created yesterday". If you query for "created yesterday" on good-eating.com, don't you get back restaurant web sites that were created yesterday, not reviews that were written yesterday?

I logged on to my blog today to find that all my images were broken, even the image for my header. I received comments from readers saying they couldn't see the images, either, and after refreshing my browser a few times, I realized that this isn't just a problem with my browser since other people are also having trouble seeing the images on my blog.
None of the images on my blog are X-rated. They're all just screenshots from The Sims 3. I'm well under my 3G limit for images and the images do show up when I edit my posts in Visual mode. They just don't show up on the blog.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I rely on my images to help tell the stories I write on my blog.
The blog I need help with is thecharmlegacy.wordpress.com.

Reviewed by Carowack from Virginia on Sunday, December 22, 2013It really is just basically a slip of parachute fabric.
Incredibly lightweight and easy to pack in the attached bag, even with suspension ropes and all.
It does not come with a suspension system, but it's so easy to make one for it.
Just buy a few feet of webbing for each side (I went with 5ft of climbing grade webbing on each end) and get a couple of sturdy cinch buckles or metal rings to adjust the length.
Dr. Hammock on YouTube shows you how to set it up really easily with a few simple knots and tricks.
The hammock was $7 through STP and the suspension system I made for myself cost $12, which is a sweet deal compared to ENO hammocks and hanging systems.
My only complaint with this hammock was the length.
This hammock feels too short.
I am very tall for a girl though, and I am thinking now I might've done better with a double-sized hammock.
Word of warning: this is not a good hammock to use if you intent to attempt cold weather hammocking.
It is not quite long enough to easily fit a sleeping pad in, which makes it difficult to insulate well.
I had to double up sleeping bags in 28 degree weather and was still half frozen in the morning.
Probably my own fault for camping in November in a hammock.
Oh well!
Can't wait to use this in the summertime!

Oh well, no harm done then. Vaguely glad Johnson is more relaxed on the point.
Former Mayor of London Ken Livingstone, who is the Labour candidate in next year's mayoral elections, has revealed that he planned to in effect make helmets compulsory when drawing up plans for London's cycle hire scheme.
Mr Livingstone had given the green light to the scheme during his tenure at City Hall, although it wouldn't be formally launched as the Barclays Cycle Hire Scheme until July 2010, more than two years after Boris Johnson had succeeded him as mayor after defeating him in the May 2008 election.
"It was always the plan that you should make certain that people who are cycling have got a helmet. You almost want to have a way where the helmet is actually chained to the bike, so people who don't bring one can have one," he told the Camden New Journal this week.
While it's difficult to see how such a requirement could have effectively been enforced - one imagines that in practice, many cyclists may have shoved the helmet in a bag or left it dangling from the handlebars - the effect may well have been to deter many potential users of the scheme by giving the impression that cycling is more dangerous than it actually is.
The former mayor made his remarks as he joined a group including local politicians to visit the junction of York Way and Pentonville Road in Kings Cross, where cyclist Deep Lee died last month after being crushed beneath a lorry. It goes without saying that a helmet would not have saved her.
He described the Kings Cross gyratory system as "one of the worst in London" and described the current mayor as "ridiculous" for not making the issue his highest priority.
Prior to his electoral defeat in 2008, Mr Livingstone had revealed that he planned to widen Euston Road by an extra lane as well as giving additional space over to cyclists.
Helmets, of course, are not compulsory for cyclists in the UK, although official advice is to wear one, and a Department for Transport spokesperson told the newspaper: "Our position is that cyclists should wear helmets, but it is up to the cyclist to decide."
The London Borough of Camden's Cycling Champion, Liberal Democrat councillor Paul Braithwaite, told the Camden New Journal that requiring users of the scheme to wear a helmet was impractical.
"When I anticipate I'm going to get on a Barclays bike, I carry a helmet," he explained. "But in practical terms, I don't see how it could be done. Where you would store them? There's the issue of head lice. It is not practical."
Australia's compulsory helmet laws mean that Melbourne and Brisbane are the only two cities in the world with bike-sharing schemes that require helmets to be worn.
Evidence suggests that the legislation has severely restricted uptake of both schemes, despite would-be users in Melbourne being able to buy a helmet for $5 from a number of shops and vending machines in the city, with a $3 refund available if they return it afterwards.
In an article that appeared earlier this year on the Australian academic website The Conversation, helmet compulsion opponent Chris Rissell, Professor of Public Health at the University of Sydney, said that take-up levels of the two schemes in Sydney were only at around 10 per cent of those seen in London and Dublin.
He added that in Mexico and Israel, compulsory helmet legislation had been repealed specifically to facilitate the implementation of bike-sharing programmes.
On the Barclays Cycle Hire Scheme section of the Transport for London website, cyclists are advised to consider wearing a properly fitted and secured helmet as part of the scheme's Code of Conduct.
Born in Scotland, Simon moved to London aged seven and now lives in the Oxfordshire Cotswolds with his miniature schnauzer, Elodie. He fell in love with cycling one Saturday morning in 1994 while living in Italy when Milan-San Remo went past his front door. A daily cycle commuter in London back before riding to work started to boom, he's been news editor at road.cc since 2009. Handily for work, he speaks French and Italian. He doesn't get to ride his Colnago as often as he'd like, and freely admits he's much more adept at cooking than fettling with bikes.

Just as well he wasn;t the mayor who introduced the scheme then. The take up would have been very low with complusary helmets.
I will wear a helmet on my road bike and my commute bike, but I have a BorisBike key for when I am central London and would rather hop on a bike to get to the station rather than the tube. I don;t want to have to drag a helmet round on the chance I'll use a BorisBike.
"You almost want to have a way where the helmet is actually chained to the bike, so people who don't bring one can have one"
Impractical as people have different sized heads and a badly fitting helmet is no use.
erm...he never said they should be compulsory, just that they should be there as an option. Non story.
The fact that they are nicknamed Boris Bikes has always annoyed me when it was Ken who gave the scheme the nod. Can't imagine the blue paint fiasco would have happened under him.
He also introduced the conjestion charge
And he's is a thorn in the side of stupid right wing (labour as well!!) big business arse lickers.
You say that a helmet woudn't have saved Deep Lee. I don't imagine it would have saved today's unnamed victim either (may both their souls rest in peace).
Helmets are useful for pratfalls in racing or off-roading, preferably at low speeds. they are pretty useless for collisions with tipper trucks.
Ken, and Boris, could do a great deal more for cyclist safety in Londong by acknowledgeing that the reposnoibilitiy lies with them - to create safe conditions especially at junctions, to introduce and enforce rules on HGV operators, etc. The fact that most victims are women (generally less aggressive/assertive in their riding style than 3-40 year old men), most vehicles invlved are HGVs, and most situations are left turns, strongly suggests that reckless driving behaviour by the motorist coupled with poor road design are the real killers.
Having lived in Melbourne til recently, I saw the effect on its bike scheme compulsory helmets had, it was a joke. I never even tried one out, the times you would want to use it you dont have a helmet, so you forget the bikes are even there, they were just street furniture.
Then the problem becomes that if you do use one, the usage is so low that all the bays are full and you cant get rid of the thing.
On the other hand I had a great time the other day pootling around London as a first time Barclays bike user.
A pound a day, what a bargain!
Might have to vote Green next time.
I'd suggest that, as a cyclist, you would be failing in your duty if you vote for anyone else.
