Suggestions for GTA 5
- they should carry on from gta 2 base it in about 2020. in a city ravaged by gangs, greedy corporations and bent men of law. you should be able to create your own player choose clothing ,physical looks, accent ethnicity, age and gender as well as if you are linked to any of the many gangs in the city. this would mean the storyline could not be based around an ethnicity (like san andreas or iv).the style of mission you do (robberies, kidnap, gta, burglary, assault and intimidation,murder, contract killing, pimping, loan sharking, bribing officials, drug taking and dealing...etc) depends on which gangs and contacts you work for. this inturn will increase your notoriety thus increasing the caliber of mission but also increasing your own characters skill level so if you do alot of contracting killing you will beoffered more work in that field thus taking the storyline down a certain route. now i think rockstar will be taking a serious look at the up and coming all points bulliten for pc which is basically an entirely online sandbox style crime game (looks like a less cool gta)wer you pick if you are a criminal or a law enforcer .this apb game has a lot of amazing possibilities imagine an entirely online GTA 5 . an entire city inhabited by around 100 online gamers.all either teaming up or fighting for wealth and infamy. gangs could be made by players who could claim turf and buildings. war-ing with the original corporations and gangs for dominance and revenge. or you could choose to vanish into the citys seedy underbelly mudering and stealing alone gradually increasing your notoriety as a violent madman. this game could be fantastic if they take apbs idea and put it through the amazing rockstar mill creating a dark violent scary funny as fuck game. i hope they try to make the graphics a little bit more stylised like sin city or 300 or casshern. hand to hand combat should improved as well as the shooting and stabbing the introduction of bullet time would be pretty sweet like max payne/ matrix. the game should be made alot dark like tim burtons gotham or blad runner or city of lost children., Vincent millidge
- Zaibatsu corporation is already existed in 2013 when GTA 2 took place. It would be nice if the next GTA storyline (which will be in 2010) should tell how they've started it all and the protogaonist should invole with them in some way (help them) and they would give them rare cars and weapons (like APC, tank or m249, jackhammer etc.). Mr Timbol
- Perhaps a bit more variety and focus on melee weapons and melee combat, with a little bit less on shooting things up. Imagine a mission where you have to go to the circus and kill the manager - you could sneak into the elephant cages, snag a bull hook, and continue through. Finally you come to his office, and the manager is facing the window. You walk up behind him, stab him with the bull hook, and he falls through the window to the ground. But not just bull hooks - metal chains, steel poles, umbrellas, water bottles, CDs, electric fans, textbooks, kind of a more "The Warriors" style with weapons where you could people up with quite a few weapons. GagePerson
- While we're on the subject of new weapons, every gun from the DLC episodes would be in the regular game. GagePerson
- Bring characters like The Truth, Woozie, Lance, Catalina, and Carl. I'm not saying bring them back altogether, but more "Bring in a hippie, a blind guy, a cool guy, a crazy chick, and a gangster". GagePerson
- Different environments such as Countryside, Dirt Country and Cities. User:Time GlitchTimeGlitch]]
- I think we need to have new, locations, where you can take planes to vice and liberty city. It would be cool if you were in a new entirely made up city as well, like san andreas, with countryside desert and cities. Also it would be cool to have more customization options, like being able to choose your race, and hair and bodyweight and muscle, like SR2. I wouldn't mind more weapons as well.CheeseflareUK
- I think there needs to be more islands and a wider range of terrain. Also there needs to be more weapons. More missions is definatly needed. A longer story and more achievments. Also harder achievments with more gamerscore earned. There should still be easy achievments with little gamerscore earned. More vehicles are also essential. More/different/all games in previous GTA's should be used, for example not just bowling or golf, have both. It should be a cross between GTA SAM and GTA IV. Both imense games. GTA SA in the sence of more land and terrain and possible the muscle and fat side. GTA IV as it the better graffics, guns, cars, missions etc......PlTomayer
- It should take place in Vice city or Chicago and you are leader of a cool gang.Bring back car customization and buying property.(Strangle hold)
- Adding a 'Hardcore' difficulty would be a nice addition after completing the game, scaling back the protagonist's health and ammo capacity to much leaner levels to make a subsequent playthough much more tactically demanding. Sawbones
- A new storyline in a larger and clearer Vice City in present time. Take back the car customization and more car futures. as hydrolics and lights/stereo. mm. More futures you can buy during the game. ( property) Higher speed of traffic on Highway !!. . --Rihm 21:49, November 20, 2009 (UTC)
- I thik that they should bring back Airplanes, like 747's. Just like in SA. That would be awesome on multiplayer. I can see why they didnt do that on GTAIV, maybe because they didnt want people crashing into building and being a "terrorist". Parachutes would be awesome too. --MiniSoup 01:13, November 10, 2009 (UTC)
- Just bring back San Andreas And make it have planes and stuff and animals in the country side and stuff make it an australian guy that just got their and met cj so he does missions for him and then meets the lost brotherhood bikers there and have like parachutes and lowriders and loads of muscle cars including a holden monaro And make you to be able to drive across the country to vice city and liberty city or take a train or plane. that would be the best game EVER!!!!!!! yous would gat lots of money ehhhh haha.
- Considering that R* have demonstrated that they can create solid, sympathetic and deep protagonists, I'd really like to see a female lead character in the next game. I'm sure that they could avoid the classic 'Stony Bitch' stereotype of most female leads in games and apply the formula to great effect. Sawbones
- Make it set in the future such as 2025 and set it in Liberty City and make a borough which should be parody to Staten Island.
- Ignore crazy stuff like making it totaly unreal. And do it as GTA IV but with: more vehicles( maybe five new and all others as in TLAD, TBOGT and GTA IV), have the ability travel between cities vice city and liberty city if needed on two disks and also if possible san andreas, Real estate agency( only to 15 maximum safehouses) but more to give about 30 choice but when reached 15 they say "all others bought", More minigames( All TLAD ,TBOGT and GTA IV also new ones like arcade, casino, bodyguarding, photo spy, new version of paramedic, new version of air rescue, trasher, pizza deliveries and many more online activities), more girlfriends, car upgrading more depth then GTA:SA, Few illegal shops which sell very rare things, Fake Police Database as a analog to skype which would be important just as email But at first you need downloaded as many other programs, many easter eggs about other characters from other games. OmagaSpruz
- It would be nice if boats and helicopters had designated saving spots, like tying a boat to a dock that the player character owns or landing a helicopter on a helipad owned by the player character. Of course, the boat saving mechanic would have to be different from the car saving mechanic; you woudn't simply be able to leave it in a spot, but rather you would have to tie it to a dock. Maybe you could drive to the saving spot, then answer an onscreen prompt to save (tie to the dock and leave it there) the boat. The prompt could be something like "Press D-pad down to tie boat to dock." And you would untie the boat by an onscreen prompt as well; "Press D-pad down to untie boat from dock," or something like that, and the untying option would also put the player character in the driver's seat of the boat. EEA
- If it takes place in Vice city make Vice city have swaps, lots of Hotels, clubs, and rich peole. Make the protagonist be from the caribbeans ethier Cuba, Puerto Rico, Haiti, Jamaica, or th Bahamas. You became rich and have a big masion and you can customize your mansion like in Saints Row and Scarface the game.(Strangle hold)
- i think it would be so cool to make the game like real life, the player should be able to enter all the shops and most of the buildings on the map, it would be good like on san andreas when you can go and rob peoples houses, gta 5 should defo bring back being able to do taxi missions and paramedic and police missions. AEROPLANES need to come backk, i had many fun days drivin aeroplanes and jumping out of them on SA, there should be more side missions to earn extra money, the game should start with the main charachter should start off as a teenager and as the games and missions go on he/she should slowly grow up in to a young adult facing the rough streets with gangs, violence, drugs, drinkin, sex etc.
- Please have a mansion that is bigger then the masion in Scarface and Vice city combined. You can have a pet shark just like in Scarface the game or a tiger in the masion.Big theater room in your masion. Girls in your masion that will walk around.A indoor pool, boat yard, Your gang walks around your masion, and finally please make this happen have a mini airport in the back of your masion.(Strangle hold)
- make gta 5 realistic like there's some licensed cars and like other people's ideas please other islands be included! like vice city and san andreas and possibly a new city called magnum city. one more thing, no securom on pc please it makes gta 4 worse do not include it on gta 5. also try to have a long storyline, like first u start at school when you're 13, you get to jail for doing something and you get out of jail when your 33 and should be so realistic like you can buy computers from electronic stores around the city, maybe shoes from prolaps or something.
- well I didn't know what to call the city but I think the one above me is great! make a surgery report every time you get wasted, e.g, right arm broken, chest shot, skull fractured. and show a picture of the protagonists skeleton. bring back the car modification and make a large variety of clothing and let us choose the colours of it. make a mini-game based on the forbidden "Hot Coffee" scenes in GTA: San Andreas. it will be BAD judging by the graphics. make little kids, pensioners, maybe even dogs walk around the city, maybe let some even be a main part.RobbieGIlder
- If it takes place in Vice City as I said before they should have SURFING and bring back jetskis. They should also have cooler friends and htter girlfriends. Also better Tv stations. Bring back the car the cheeta and the ability to get a tatoo.(Strangle hold)
- Surfing would be alright. Having kids walking around and being able to get killed would bring Rockstar a lot of controversy, which they obviously do not want. The same with the Hot Coffee mini game. And the location... according to the instruction booklet in Grand Theft Auto Episodes From Liberty City, Liberty City is done for now. And it shows some kind of rural image next to the words "NEXT STOP".... rural... Red County in San Andreas could be it. However, under this rural image the world "Seagull" can be read. It might be another kind of city/state? Oh, and I agree with number 21 above. That would be great. And, weapon costumisation... like making them golden or something. And maybe some plastic sugery so one can choose to be black, white, asian, hispanic... or whatever.
- Include cyclists, or groups of cyclists (pelotons) that can be attacked or smashed into with vehicles. Maybe include a specific mission where a pelotons of cyclists need to be smashed into. This feature/mission will be a great relief for motorists in general who need to slow or avoid groups of cyclists on public roads because cyclists, in general, tend to think they own the roads they ride on and are exempt from road rules, such as stopping at red traffic signals/street signs and indicating their direction of travel before swerving across an intersection. See this poster for inspiration: High-Scores are important Poster
- They should have may more gangs, like up to 28 gangs. Gang wars should be improved like if you are apart of the mob you will have to blow up a enemy gang buisness. Or if you are apart of a street gang you go in the projects and take the drugs over and the building that the drugs were stored. Once you take over a turf you will have to mark it with spary paint, if you are apart of the mob and take over a buisness you rename it. You should be able to build buisness and ues them as a front. You should be able to offer alliance with gangs. You should also be able to invest in buisness to make your name known like producing movies,merchandise, a sports team, etc. Those stuff will make GTA 5 CRAZY!(Strangle hold)
- DO NOT make it like saints row that games shit anyway put it in san andreas make like a remade one and put animals bigger desert an country an cities and aeroplanes and i think you should bring back all the grove street and no ballas just put mexicans and other street gangs and make you a mexican gang guy that allies grove st make you have a mad mansion in las venturas and make loads of mad songs on the radio and like the guy 2 bthings away from me make bike guys and make them idiots like in real life and put indian and asian drivers idiots like in real too haha listen too the guy on top too and you have too put car garages to do up cars have too! thanks Liam English and name it Gta San Andreas Dos.
- New Vice City map
- Should be called GTA: Apocalipsis City and be at the date of 2012; you should choose one charater from all the protagonist in GTA exept Victor Vance because he is dead; you can travel from Liberty City to Vice City to Los Santos to San Fierro to Las Venturas and to Carcer City; in the last mission there are all the protagonist from Gta 1 to Gta TBOGT (exept GTA:VCS) and play with any one you choose anyone to escape from the destruction; after all it finish it at Liberty City because Vice City and San Andreas of teh destruction and the call it Anywhere City because there should be nothing; get many gangs of possible all gangs created before and new gangs; get another time girlfriends; you should have all the things where after like: bikes, swiming, tatoos, get muscle, get fat, eat to survive, use your cellphone ect; new cars, motocycles, airplanes, boats; many radios with new songs; all people should drees different not only the charather you are using will use diferent clothes; you should have the ability to smoke, sit down, get drunk, ect; that in the 100% much more rewards
- Should be called GTA: MultiCity and it should have all the locations that appeared in GTA series except London and it should have The Caraways and Carcer City and it should have features like the player can buy a video game from shop and can play it at his safehouse, and the mobile player carrying should have all the features and it should be touchscreen and the player can sit in taxis by calling it and also in taxis that are on road
- I really don't want to see GTA in London or Tokyo or any other place like that. GTA should stay in the Americas were it belongs. It should also let you travel between cities(be able to travel from Liberty City to Los Santos to Vice City) . They should also add more cities like Chicago, Seattle, San Diego, or Tijuana(Yes I know that I said GTA should stay in America but Tijuana technically is in "The Americas" and it would be the perfect city to have a crime game set in because of the large amount of crime that goes on around there, and it would be cool if there was a feature where you can smuggle drugs, guns, and illegals into San Diego. and anyways they make obtaining fully-automatic guns too easy in GTA4, which in real life is almost imposible these days in the U.S. Where in Tijuana you can get anything you want from AK-47s to Sticks of Dynamite so easily.) I would at least want it to be set in San Andreas with the addition of San Diego and Tijuana. You would Have to admit that it would be down.- LosSantos13
- Or have it be set in the 1940s-50s and have it be set In Liberty City, Las Venturas, Vice City, Chicago, and Havana,Cuba have it be sort of a Grand Theft Auto: Mafia and There has to be a good variety of weapons like Springfields, BARs, Thompsons(of course),M1A1s, and M1 Garands. You get the idea.-LosSantos13
- Have it set at three cities : Liberty City,Vice City and San Andreas.In every city add an airport like in GTA:SA.Make a new character.OR:let us create a character.Make him meet all the previous GTA characters (Claude Speed,Tommy Vercetti,Carl Johnson,Niko Bellic,Maccer,Kent Paul,Roman Bellic,Little Jacob etc...) and play missions with them.Add all stuff" from the previous GTA`s (Not like on GTA IV...you cant even fly with a plane and there is no flamethrower).Make all buildings destructable.More clothes and more clothes shops.And thats that...The problem is :my computer wont be able to run that game and I dont have enough money to upgrade my computer... So can you make a version for slower computers please ! MG 097
- Well we already klnow it's set in San Andreas so I expect new places to explore, a bigger desert, and I guess the protagonist will be a character that was in San Andreas with a minor role, and did not die :D that's all I have :P Kandreik
- They should make earthquakes or tornados that would be fun or you can have pets and littl children also they can make some Luis be the main character again and set it in england with gay tony and make a night club in newham or somewhere in london and do all that stuff Kid-Generate-xfl
- i think they should carry on with the gta iv portal but be in england as a british nightclub owner in london who is a member of a east end gang and like tbogt should spend half time on the club aqnd half time on the gang work . you should also be able to have full character customization and have a travel mode where you can tracel to liverpool, manchester, nottingham etc and set up new faction for your gang packie mcreary should also feature in this game as your friend or even as the protagonist and you should be able to buy bars and clubs like you can in gta vc. louis 987.
[[Category:ok i think we should bring back san andreas. it be perfect w/ the graphics. ok like a sequel. you know start it off with one of the characters from the first game get killed by a mysterious person. then cj goes to the funeral and stuff. the he trys to take revenge by trying to find out who did it. the cj finds out who did it, it will be a former grove street gone balla .the so on and so on it will be good. but bring in so many new weapons and veichles. maybe a new map. the game will be called either: GRAND THEFT AUTO: SAN ANDREAS 2, GRAND THEFT AUTO: SAN ANDREAS THE REVENGE OF C.J., OR GRAND THEFT AUTO: SAN ANDREAS THE SEQUEL ]] [[Category:In this new game apparently it's going to be in Europe? I think that is a stupid idea and I think they should have it in San Andreas but a whole new San Andreas with Skate Boards, more options, and this time have stealth missions because there where none in gta 4. As well, In the games the weather changes randomly all the time... In San Andreas they had Dust storms. In this new game they could have SNOW!!!! And if they want a new city, how about a new version of Chicago because they've done Vegas, California, New York and Miami. And it would be cool to have fight clubs or something... And if it will be in San Andreas it would be cool if they had Some old cameo appearances from people like Sweet, Ken Rosenberg and even CJ? Also, more and new weapon selections like outrages things that you don't normally see and a different variety than just shooting up a place for Heroin. And last thing it would be very slack and they would probably get sued but It would awesome if there were like kids or teenagers or something (probably won't but just a suggestion right?)]]

Felix Baumgartner Breaks Skydiving World Record, Sound Barrier
No one gets high better than Felix Baumgartner.
Austrian BASE-jumper Baumgartner, 43, broke a 52-year-old skydiving altitude record and the sound barrier by jumping out of a space capsule 128,100 feet above the Earth in Roswell, N.M. on Sunday. During the jump, Baumgartner accelerated to 833.9 mph — reaching Mach 1.24 and breaking the sound barrier — also a new record. Events and video leading up to the 4:20 minute jump (no, seriously, that's how long it took, stoner) are at the Stratos' Project's site.
Baumgartner also broke the world record for the highest manned balloon flight by rising to a height of nearly 25 miles. As he fell to the Earth, Baumgartner was thrown into a near-flat spin and had to pull the ripcord on his parachute earlier than planned.
We assume Baumgartner may have also set a world record for height at which one screamed expletives and soiled one's pressurized spacesuit.

Related Media: Appendectomy
The appendix is a small, tube-like organ that hangs from the large intestine. Appendicitis is inflammation of the appendix. The appendix has no known function.
|Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Appendicitis usually occurs when the appendix becomes inflamed. This can be caused by something trapped in the appendix, such as:
- A piece of dried stool
- A piece of food
- Tumors
- Scar tissue
- Worms
- Barium after an exam
- Overgrowth of the lymph tissue of the appendix
The lining of the appendix continues to produce mucus. It has no place to go. Bacteria normally found in the intestines build up and make toxins in the lining of the appendix. Pressure builds and causes severe pain in the abdomen. The wall of the appendix can break open. The contents of a ruptured appendix can spill into the abdominal cavity. This causes serious redness and swelling. This is called peritonitis . It can be fatal.
Risk Factors
Appendicitis is more common in men and teenagers.
You are at increased risk of developing appendicitis if you have family members who have had appendicitis.
Symptoms usually happen quickly. Pain usually increases during a 6-12 hour period. Patients may have some or all of the following symptoms:
- Pain
- Starts as discomfort around the belly button
- Usually moves to the right side of the abdomen over several hours
- May be in a different location if the appendix is not in the usual place
- Increases as redness and swelling in the appendix builds
- Worsens with sneezing, coughing, and deep breathing
- May increase with movement
- Loss of appetite
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Swelling of the abdomen
- Abdomen feels hard and is sensitive to touch
- Constipation
- Mild diarrhea
- Slight fever
If the appendix ruptures, symptoms include:
- Pain becoming stronger and spreading across the abdomen
- Increasing fever
Note: Symptoms may be different in infants, children, pregnant women, and the elderly.
If you have severe pain in the abdomen, get medical help right away. Appendicitis can be hard to diagnose. Symptoms vary and can be similar to symptoms of other diseases.
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done, including:
- A careful examination of the abdomen
- A rectal exam
Your bodily fluids may be tested. This can be done with:
- Blood tests
- Urine tests
Your bodily structures may need to be viewed. This can be done with:
- Ultrasound
- Computed tomography (CT) scan
- Laparoscopy
Appendicitis may be treated by surgically removing the appendix as soon as possible. Sometimes the diagnosis is not certain. Your condition will be carefully monitored for 6-12 hours before operating. You will also be given antibiotics to fight infection.
Sometimes appendicitis does not need to be treated with surgery and you will just be given antibiotics.
There are no guidelines to prevent appendicitis. It starts quickly and the cause is usually unknown. Get medical care right away for severe abdominal pain. It will decrease the risk of rupture.

Three Seneca City Council terms are set to expire this April, while filing to enter that race is only weeks away.
SENECA – Three Seneca City Council terms are set to expire this April, while filing to enter that race is only weeks away.
Cyndy Hutchings, Seneca city clerk, said the seats of John Adams, Ward 1, Cecil Vance, Ward 2, and Hack Zane, Ward 3, will be up for election this spring.
Filing for local races is set to begin at 8 a.m. Tuesday, Dec. 11.
Vance, mayor pro-tem, and Zane, are serving two-year terms, set to expire in 2013. Adams is serving a one-year, unexpired term for the seat previously held by mayor Mark Bennett.
Adams also previously served Ward 1, before narrowly losing the April 2012 election to Derinda Malone. However, when Bennett was elected Seneca mayor, the council was left with a vacant Ward 1 seat, and council members voted to fill that seat with Adams for the remainder of the term.
Both Zane and Vance ran uncontested in the April 2011 election.
It was unknown Monday evening if the three councilmen plan to seek re-election.
Those interested in joining the race can do so by visiting the Seneca City Hall, 1303 Cherokee Ave.
Filing runs through 5 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 15.
• • •
Seneca City Council members also revisited a plan to cut down on litter in the city at their Monday evening council meeting.
In their Nov. 12 meeting, Vance noted the large amount of signage left posted around Seneca.
"To me, that looks bad and I want to put a stop to that," Vance told council members.
The council then considered the creation of a new city ordinance intended to cut down on the amount of signage not taken down.
However, on Monday, James Altic, Seneca police chief, informed the council that the city has an existing littering ordinance that can be applied to the lingering signage.
Bennett said the city is working with attorney Andy Wood to make a few changes to the ordinance, and are planning to enforce it to help clean up the town.
"Our main thing is to get a name and an address on the signs so if they're left we'll know who to contact for the littering issues," Bennett said, noting that the signs range from birthday messages to garage sale advertisements. "Right now there's so many signs being put out, then the signs are forgotten, just to go the wind and the city has to pick them up at our expense."
Though regularly held on the second and fourth Monday of the month, the Seneca City Council will hold their December meetings Dec. 3 and Dec. 17 due to the Christmas holiday.

First, although there is Zazen at Hill Street Center this coming Saturday June 6, 2009 at 10 am, you cannot park in the Hill Street Center parking lot that day since there's a parking lot sale sponsored by the church going on.
Second, I managed to kind of solve my AT&T problems. I wasn't entirely happy with the solution. But I managed to get most of the charges knocked off. The woman I spoke to on the phone was very sweet about the whole thing. I'm sure she got hired there because she's got the kind of voice you don't want to scream and yell at. Not that I would have. Anyway, it's OK now. And thanks to the people who donated money. I think I got about $17 from that little mention. So that was cool.
I just wanted to say a little bit here about solipsism as it relates to Buddhism. I was looking at some of what's written on the Internets about Buddhism in English and noticed there's a great deal of confusion. It used to be that people figured Buddhism was a form of Nihilism or a form of Atheism. Those two ideas are kind of out of fashion, though they still persist. Yet the idea that Buddhism, particularly Zen Buddhism, is a form of solipsism still remains.
Lots of people, including lots of so-called "Buddhist Masters," are confused by the idea, which is present within Buddhism that the inner world and the outer world are one and the same. From this idea, they generate the mistaken solipsistic notion that there is no real outer world and that everything we experience is all in our heads. This is not Buddhism at all. It would be just as crazy to say there is no inner world and that everything we experience takes place outside ourselves. We know that's bullshit. Yet somehow it's easier to believe the opposite is true and think that there is no outside world at all.
In Nishijima's translation of Nagarjuna's Fundamental Song of the Middle Way, Nagarjuna says, "The four reliable facts are reason, the external world, the present moment, and reality -- this world -- which seems to be similar to God. A fifth reliable fact can never exist."
So the external world is very real in Buddhism. Do not doubt its existence.
I say this because it's pretty scary to think there are folks out there teaching people not to believe in the outside world. This is a very dangerous notion. If you cease to believe in the outside world you can commit all kinds of horrendous actions against whoever you please, since they don't really exist after all.
In a way this kind of dovetails into my reservations about "cyber-sanghas" -- and even about this very forum you are reading right now, dear friend. Interactions with computers tend to lock you into your head. I see a lot more solipsism in the world of Internet Buddhism than I do in the world of flesh-and-bone Buddhism.
There is a real world "out there." Your perceptions of that world may be limited and faulty. But that doesn't mean it's not there. And it doesn't mean the outside world is exactly the same as your inner world. This is a very important point.
There is just one world, with no division between inner and outer. Yet the two sides are not the same.
Get it? Got it? Good!

Buyer: Wolfgang Candy deal is still on
The buyer of assets of York County-based Wolfgang Candy Co. Inc. said this morning the deal is still on firm ground and that he will follow through as called for in the transaction agreement.
Divine Serendipity LLC President and CEO William "Wayne" Sellers said there is some continued due diligence that must still be done and that Wolfgang employees should not be concerned.
North York-based Wolfgang filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in March and a judge last week approved a plan for a sale of company assets and a lease agreement.
There was an expectation the deal could close shortly thereafter, but it did not. The attorney who appeared before the bankruptcy court on behalf of Wolfgang, Larry Young, expressed concern Monday that the deal could be in limbo.
Young said he could not comment this morning.

Remove automatic pupsave for frugal installs
For anyone who is having having trouble locating this information, I'll post it. I've never liked automatic saving, and for frugal installs gaining control involves tricking the system into believing you're running a flash drive (i.e, switch to pupmode 13), altering rc.shutdown so that it asks whether you want to save, and setting the events manager save time to "0" (don't save).
1. set the Utilities/PupShutdownManger/Manage System Events/Save Session dialogue to "0" (no save).
2. change in menu.lst: change pmedia=atahd to ataflash.
3. change in /etc/rc.shutdown

Yes, this should be sticky.
I have at least two or three times explained exactly this to someone on the forum. Can't find the thread.

Here's an explanation of how I do it [items 1 to 4 in the linked list].
How to prevent the resulting spurious warning as a pupsave installation of Puppy boots, that the previous shut-down was improper.
This, to make the default=no->[don't save] in the shutdown dialog.

Post subject: removing automatic pupsave file found
Subject description: unknown original poster and where on this site ?
If you make the 3 edits below, these 3 changes happen:
1. Session changes can still be saved at any time by clicking on the "Save" bullseye icon.
2. Session changes will not automatically save at shutdown.
3. At startup, you will get a warning message which says "X seems to have exited uncleanly the last time you ran puppy..." but no harm is done, just the changes you did not deliberately save are lost.
- - Click on "Ignore" and you will be in Puppy as it was at shutdown.
The lines to edit:
1. Open the console and type "geany /etc/rc.d/rc.shutdown" without quotes.
- - This opens the shutdown code for editing
2. Type cntrl f to search for "/usr/sbin/snapmergepuppy" without quotes.
- - /usr/sbin/snapmergepuppy is in my unaltered installation 3 times,
- - at line 817, line 847, and line 853.
3. Comment out each line that has it by typing #myrem in front of that line. The # sign alone comments it out, but use #myrem so you can find it later if you need to. Smile
So for each line (3 of'em) that originally said
/usr/sbin/snapmergepuppy /initrd/pup_ro1 /initrd/pup_rw
you now have
#myrem /usr/sbin/snapmergepuppy /initrd/pup_ro1 /initrd/pup_rw
4. Save the file.
5. Added Feb 22 (should have been in this post from the start):
"Go to "Menu->System->Puppy Event Manager->save session->save Interval",
and set the value to zero [actually 0] minutes, and OK that."

Post subject: call me lazy
I decided today that I didn't want automatic pupsaving, so I searched the forum and found this thread amongst others.
Anyway, I didn't really want to mess up any system scripts or use any PUPMODE tricks and so on. As an admittedly simplistic and crude alternative I simply stuck the following line in my /etc/rc.d/rc.local to disable pupsaving altogether (unless re-enabled as shown later):
[ -e /usr/sbin/snapmergepuppy ] && mv /usr/sbin/snapmergepuppy /usr/sbin/snapmergepuppyBKUP
Then, when I want things to autosave normally again, I simply rename snapmergepuppyBKUP back to snapmergepuppy (or use a simple script to toggle between the two). Seems to work so posting this in case anyone else finds it useful.
Prevent saving to pupsave (pupsave_no script, which I have a shortcut to on my desktop):
[ -e /usr/sbin/snapmergepuppy ] && mv /usr/sbin/snapmergepuppy /usr/sbin/snapmergepuppyBKUP
Allow saving to pupsave (pupsave_yes script, which I have a shortcut to on my desktop):
[ -e /usr/sbin/snapmergepuppyBKUP ] && mv /usr/sbin/snapmergepuppyBKUP /usr/sbin/snapmergepuppy
EDIT: As well as the above method of preventing unwanted pupsaving I also install my .wine directory and .mozilla directory to /mnt/home and use relative symlinks back to /root to these. I am then able to use a very small pupsave (32M), which is simpler to backup, faster to boot with and much faster to shutdown. This is with Slacko 533 frugal installation on FAT32 formatted usb stick.

For Puppy Precise And Raring !
Found another solution not to save to USB Flash without ruining PPmanager " for Puppy Precise and UPUPS raring .
1.Download somewhere the script "nosaveshutdown " make it executable .
2. Goto Puppy Event Manager > Save Session > Save interval (0=never )
Save to flash....Restart
Install petget20120418.pet from
Save to flash ..restart
Now you can install pets debs or downloads from PPmanager ..if you like to keep them
either use "save2flash " during session wihout shutting down ,
or saving session at shutdown ..just shutdown asusual.
In case you dont want to save Changes /session ...just execute the script above "nosaveshutdown" . Nothing will be saved to Flash .This works for me on Precise Puppy 5.6 . , Rarung .
Install petget20120418.pet from

Hi Flash !
Here is the script for " no save at shutdown " .
# skips rc.shutdown and powers off computer without saving the session.
Xdialog --title "script $0" --yesno "\n\nAre you sure to power-off computer WITHOUT saving?\n\n" 0 0
[ $? -eq 0 ] && rm /initrd/pup_ro1/etc/.XLOADED && rm /etc/.XLOADED
exec /bin/busybox poweroff
Copy this text to geany or leafpad ----save it as for example in root as " Shut down without saving "--------- right click on this saved file ----goto Properties-----tick .....Exec.....refresh .
Now you can execute this script by clicking on it .. You could decorate with a nice icon too.
After you have done the steps i described before .

Post subject: save or don't, renew with new changes
I had the wish to construct a toggleSave/NOsave command what
succeeded in the loss of the 1st line of PUPSTATE (etc/rc.d/..)
Now savingcommand open the yellow offers of saving or nosaving.
(what means a brandnew savefile with evtl. changes or notsaving shutdown )
Now I tried this crazy idea with deleting the PUPSTATE file what
ended in the same result as said above.
So if I want to save the original savefile I change by hand
the PUPMODE=13 to PUPMODE=5 in pupstate's 1st line what activates
the original save procedures.
Following is often said before:
Before the first saveprocedure "Pup event manager" saveinterval should have been set to 0 (zero)
to prevent unwanted savings.
In the menu.lst PMEDIA=atahd or =usbhd I changed it to ataflash/usbflash
To avoid DESTOPlosses I make copy of /Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPin just before saving.
I practice this since nearly one year without noticed issues.
IF there is heavy protest to this ugly procedure do not answer here but send me a short PM
in plain english, so I have the chance to delete this post aslong it is unwanted.

Backi's script works good..bam, it shuts down. But the No bit could close the dialogue and not shut down?
Would it be a good idea to put Musher's code before it to close any drives open though?
#PREPARATION - unmount devices already mountd during boot
sleep 2
# ~/my-applications/bin/umount-only-disks.sh
####Musher0 code to unmount only disks
df -H -T -x squashfs -x tmpfs -x rootfs -x aufs -P | grep "/mnt/s" | cut -f2 -d'm' > spc_dsq.txt
while read line
umount /m$line
done < spc_dsq.txt
rm -f spc_dsq.txt
sleep 2

Evolution is still a theory based on unproven assumptions and is the religion of atheists and communists. It should not be presented to students as true, factual science.
Atheism is a philosophy based on opinions, and it can not be supported by any facts. The atheistic philosophy is presented in the theory of Darwinian Evolution. It denies that there is a Creator and teaches that all of nature evolved on its own by accident over billions of years using spontaneous generation and natural selection. According to the evolutionary theory there was no purposeful creation or planning, all things just occurred by chance, and everything came from nothing. It is a big fairy tale that is not reasonable, and defies true science. Nature is too complex, too complicated, too intricate, and too magnificent to be an accidental occurrence. It is logical to realize that there had to be a Supreme Being, an Intelligent Designer, who is the great Creator God who purposefully planned and made everything. Atheistic Darwinian Evolution has been mixed in with true, logical, observable science since the 1960's. This fake science was borrowed from the atheistic Communist country formerly called the Soviet Union. Public school science textbooks present the theory of Darwinian evolution as a fact right along with real scientific facts. However, many teachers explain to their students that Darwinian evolution is just a theory base upon unproven assumptions.
Unfortunately many state universities teach the theory of evolution as a fact, which they defend as if it were their precious religion. I have taken classes in state universities and have witnessed professors with knowing smiles refer to Christians as ignorant, backward, uneducated, and insane for praying to a deity that they believe does not exist. These elitist educators believe they have been enlightened, and they mix their atheist opinions in with the material they are supposed to be teaching. It is their goal to release students from what they think is the primitive mind set of Christians. Those professors do not believe in God, the Bible, or Jesus Christ, and they deny the spiritual part of human beings. It is their opinion that humans are simply higher evolved apes. They do not believe in Heaven, or Hell, or Satan. They claim that evil is just what man has defined it to be with their moral restrictions. By indoctrinating young people with their atheistic philosophy, these teachers believe that they are enlightening them to higher thinking. Actually, they are promoting their faith based religion of atheism. It takes a lot of faith to believe the ridiculous theories presented by Darwinian evolution.
As a teenage high school graduate, I attended a state funded college my freshmen year and endured atheistic Darwinian evolutionary indoctrination. My professors taught atheistic philosophy in the biology, psychology, sociology, history, and literature classes. I had a strong Christian background of faith and did not believe the false theories and philosophies that were mixed in with the material that was supposed to be taught. I argued, questioned, and objected to the alien material inserted in the curriculum. As a result, I endured ridicule, insults, and threats for daring to question the opinions of the instructors. I withdrew from my biology class failing, because of my argumentative comments, and my refusal to put down the answers he wanted on tests. The other teachers were glad to see the back of my neck, too. I enrolled in a fully accredited Christian college, where Darwinian evolution was taught as a theory, and not as a fact. Several of my peers, who remained in the state university, practiced wisdom in getting along with their teachers. They realized that if they kept their mouths shut, and their opinions to themselves, that they could get good grades and graduate. Unfortunately, many of my fellow students swallowed the theories as true and became indoctrinated. As an adult, I have taken several graduate classes from state universities. Nothing has changed over the years with the atheistic indoctrination of professors, and it has only grown stronger. Many of my friends and relatives can also testify to this fact.
The religion of the atheist seems to be Darwinian Evolution in which they have great faith, but no observable facts. However, it is taught as a fact in state university biology classes, although it is still a theory based on unproven assumptions. The opinions and hypotheses of the evolutionists are considered to be unquestionable by the educational community that is in power. Darwinian evolution has been taught for three generations in public school textbooks and state universities. The indoctrination of young people since the 1960's has made Darwinian evolution a sociably acceptable part of the science curriculum. Atheistic Darwinian Evolution is mixed in with factual science in textbooks like arsenic with grain in rat poisoning. The secular humanistic philosophy of our society supports Atheistic Darwinian Evolution, and it is the popular thought of those who consider themselves to be educated and enlightened. Fortunately, many local teachers in elementary schools and high schools present Darwinian evolution as a theory that they are required to teach. They do not teach the theory as a fact that man evolved from an ape. They do not teach the theory that all of nature is the result of accidental formation over billions of years as factual.
Unfortunately, most textbooks do not use the word theory, and they present Atheistic Darwinian evolution as fact. They use words like hypotheses instead of theories to present their information, because it sounds scientific. However, hypotheses are just opinions based upon assumptions and theories, but that is not explained to students in the textbooks. Fortunately, local school districts have an elected school board, and many of them would object to Atheistic Darwinian Evolution being taught to the students as factual. Unfortunately, state universities do not have the benefit of a locally elected school board, and the atheists are free to teach their opinions in the classroom. It is a very sad fact that impressive young minds are subjected to this indoctrination, and that over half of Christian students drop out of church with doubts about their faith in God. Atheists have to prey upon unprepared young people to promote their religion of Atheistic Darwinian Evolution.
Is there scientific evidence that man evolved from an ape ancestor? No, but it is commonly accepted as a fact. There are no transitional fossils from ape to man. All the missing links have been proven to be hoaxes. Today textbooks have resorted to artist's drawings of ape men, and theorized evolutionary charts. They also have some old skulls and bones of extinct African apes that they call Australopithecine. They believe these ape bones were going to become missing links, and their offspring would morph into humans. However, they have no proof. They theorize that the apes walked upright and had primitive tools, but they have no observable scientific evidence to support their theory. Their presentations are all based on hypotheses, unproven assumptions, and theories. None the less, the text books present the information as factual.
The fact is that apes and humans are of a completely different species. They cannot mate and produce young. It is not observable or recorded in history that an ape ever gave birth to a human. That is why the theory of millions and billions of years of evolution was invented. If the theory of evolution is not observable today, then it must have happened slowly over a long period of time according to Atheistic Darwinian Evolutionists. To validate their theory, they came up with the Geologic Time Column. There are 25 places in the world that are supposed to show the theorized column. However, all of these places have misplaced fossils of other eras in each layer, and there are no transitional fossils of ape to man, or reptile to bird, etc. The layers actually demonstrate the settling of sediment after a flood. The heaviest fossilized animals settled first. There are fossilized trees going up through several supposed layers of eras of millions of years. This is observable evidence of a flood. Atheistic Darwinian Evolutionists classify such facts as anomalies and shelve them, because they do not support their theory. The factual information is banned from most textbooks, because it is in conflict with Atheistic Darwinian Evolution.
There are scientists who are challenging Atheistic Darwinian Evolution. They are Intelligent Design scientists. These rebel scientists recognize that DNA, the cell, the atom, the universe, and all of nature is too complex to have accidentally formed by random chance or spontaneous generation. They recognize that the formation of all nature is purposeful and must have had an Intelligent Designer. They refer to the one who masterminded the construction of all things - the Intelligent Designer – not God, or the Creator, or Yahweh, or Jehovah, or Lord, or Jesus Christ. Most of them have not been converted to Christianity or Judaism. They do not worship the Intelligent Designer, nor have they established churches. These scientists have just broken away from the theory of Atheistic Darwinian Evolution, and the belief that everything in nature just accidentally occurred.
The controlling Atheistic Darwinian Evolutionary Science community has accused the questioning scientists as being traitors. They have called them the most insulting name they know - Creationists. However, the Intelligent Design Scientists are not Creationists. Creationists are Christians and Jews who believe in the Creator God of the Holy Scriptures. Even though the Intelligent Design scientists are not Creationists, they are being persecuted, and many of them have lost their jobs. Their reputations have been slandered, and their careers ruined. Ben Stein made a documentary film about this in 2008, and exposed the tyrannical rule of the Atheistic Darwinian Evolutionists in the scientific community. It is titled "Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed." The film exposes the persecution of scientists who try to exercise their right of freedom of speech.
There is plenty of factual, observable science to fill a science book. Atheistic Darwinian Evolutionary theories should not be mixed in with true science. There is no evidence for the evolutionary theory that life sprang from rain on rocks billions of years ago. It is illogical to believe that life came from non life, like a rock. There is no proof that primitive cells springing from rocks lived in primordial soup. The primitive cells were supposed to have morphed into fish. The fish were supposed to have morphed into amphibians The amphibians were supposed to have morphed into reptiles. The reptiles were supposed to have morphed into birds and mammals. The apes were supposed to have morphed into humans. It is unobservable today, and has never been recorded in history that different species morph into other species. Also, different species cannot even crossbreed. Atheistic Darwinian Evolutionists teach that hybrids and mutations demonstrate the Theory of Evolution, but they don't. Fruit flies can be nuked into mutated flies that have no legs, multiple legs, no wings, or multiple wings. However, they are still fruit flies. They have not become mammals, birds, or reptiles. Fish and reptiles cannot be cross bred. Insects and mammals cannot be cross bred. Grain can be made to produce hybrid grain, but it is still grain. It cannot be crossed with a tree. Trees can be crossed with other trees, because they are the same specie. Cats can be cross bred with other cats. Dogs can be cross bred with other dogs. Cattle can be cross bred with other cattle. However, cats and dogs cannot be cross bred. Cows and cats cannot be cross bred. Humans and apes cannot be cross bred. They are all different species. It is true science that there are variations of species, and mutations. However, this does not demonstrate Darwinian evolution that teaches one specie evolved into another specie. So, why do Darwinian Evolutionists think that apes evolved into humans? They don't have any proof or observable evidence. Thus, their theory is not scientific. Why is their theory in textbooks and mixed with true science? The answer is, because they have indoctrinated our society for generations, and their theory is a socially accepted concept today. This needs to be remedied by recognizing Darwinian evolution as indoctrination and by removing it from factual, observable science.
The theory of Darwinian Evolution has become a religion. It's concepts are based upon faith in unproven assumptions. The assumptions have become fantastic stories about the formation of nature. The stories are backed up by artist's drawings of ape men, and displayed figures of ape men. Imaginative charts have been invented in an attempt to prove the theories. The religion of evolution is protected by priests disguised as teachers, instructors, scientists, and professors. Those who question or oppose their religion are persecuted, fired, and ridiculed. The religion of Darwinian Evolution was invented over 150 years ago, and is based upon assumptions, theories, hypotheses, and opinions. The religion of Christianity came into being 2,000 years ago, and is based upon eyewitness testimonies of the life of Jesus Christ, written in books by Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Darwinian evolution is a popular fairy tale, with no observable evidence. However, Christianity is a true account of Christ's life with observable evidence, recorded in books by 4 eyewitnesses over 2,000 years ago. It only takes 3 eyewitnesses to testify in court and validate an event, and Christianity has 4 eyewitnesses that documented observable, factual events in each of their books. So, why do Christian people allow their youth to be indoctrinated with false information in educational institutions?

Earth : North America : Central America : Nicaragua : Northern Highlands (Nicaragua) : Jinotega
Jinotega is in Nicaragua.
Jinotega is the city center of Nicaragua's northern region by the same name which produces 80% of the nation's coffee. Not often visited by foreigners, it has a population of about 20,000 living inside a vast bowl formed by the surrounding mountains – perhaps the width of 200X100 soccer fields. It is known as "La Ciudad de las Brumas" or "City of the Mists" for the magnificent whisks of clouds continuously feathering through the top of the bowl. The Jinotega region was perhaps the most war-torn region in the Nation's Century. Its remote location provided a haven for rebellious forces throughout the last two previous centuries. It's safe now, in fact you can visit the countryside without a problem if you wish, just find a guide. This will bring you to a corner of the world English speakers seldom see.
When to visit
Certainly the most adventurous time to visit is during the coffee season - December through February. You'll see trucks barelling in and out of the city on the north side, men hauling coffee in on their backs in a frantic scurry. Compared to cities such as Managua and Chinandega, which can be exceedingly hot all year round, Jinotega's climate is relatively pleasant due to its higher elevation.
The weather is great from November ( end of rainy season)through September/October, when it starts to sporadically rain , after this the rainy season starts for real apparently though havent experienced this yet.
Get in
Note: some prices quoted here are outdated. The cordoba depreciates fairly rapidly against the dollar.
From Managua there are direct buses several times a day. If taking a taxi, ask for bus terminal Mayoreo or simply for the terminal from where the Jinotega buses leave. At the Mayoreo terminal there are several counters where you can purchase your tickets to Jinotega, depending on what time you are departing. If you look like a foreign traveler, men working will ask your destination. Simply state "Jinotega" and they will almost always direct you to the correct window for the next available departure (usually ever hour or hour and a half between 4:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.). Bus fare is C$80, or about US$3. The expressos are nice because they make fewer stops and you don't have to swing over to drop people off in Matagalpa before heading to Jinotega.
If you do not wish to travel in bus you can also Google private transfers and/or negotiate with an authorized airport taxi to take you directly to Jinotega.
Also you can arrive from other towns in the north such as Matagalpa or Esteli (via Matagalpa or via a northern route).
Get around
Taxis are prevelent and cost C$10 (US$0.40) per person anywhere in town. Fares are around C$35 at night.Its best to agree a price before you get in the cab, Jinotegans love to change their mind. But on the whole they are a very friendly bunch. It is very safe to walk around Jinotega even through some of the shabbier looking areas, don't be scared just give a big smile out, you'll be fine. Jinotega is a great place to explore.
From within Jinotega you can see Peña de La Cruz, a hill with a cross at the top. The location provides splendid views of the Jinotega valley and surrounding mountains. At the base of Peña de La Cruz within Jinotega there is a cemetery. Cross through the cemetery, stopping to ask where the "sendero" or trail to the cross is located. The journey to the top is steep at times, taking about 30-60 minutes. At the top there is a cool, refreshing breeze.
Of course you can hike to the famous cross, or there are trails in the hills opposite the cross. Many locals go swimming in lake Apanas or its surrounding creeks, but the water isn't the cleanest. You can join the locals and play a game of soccer or baseball. There are several sites around town if you just want to walk around. Also check out some of the restaurants listed here, whoever wrote that section did a good job.
In general Jinotega has a small town feel with not a lot of things to do. The people are friendly but more reserved than you will find in the bigger cities of Nicaragua.
If you are lucky you will catch one of the many hipica's or parades, they love a parade here, The hipicas are a way for Jinotega mostly men to show off their horses, they love it, get your cowboy boots on, you can buy a pair of custom made cowboyboots for a thousand cords here, get the rubber soles the leather slip horribly, from a little shop in the market, theres an horrific blue supermarket building on the edge of the old markets , if you go 2 blocks away from it , and away from the new markets building, you will see the boot shop on the right, its just a small wooden opening with a few cowboy boots hanging in it. If your lucky the guy with the really big belly with no top on will serve you, comedy magic.
For a full Nicaraguan experience, you can try out some of the many Internet cafes located around the city. Many Nicaraguans don´t have Internet and have to utilize such cafes. Two recommended cafes are Llamadas Heladas and Ciber Centro de Llamadas del Rey. Both provide Internet as well as phone booths for cheap international calls and the latter one also provides English-Spanish translation.
If you need something, first check the Everything for $1 (More or Less) store north of the cathederal a couple blocks. They have tools, shampoo, candles, mugs, etc. If they don't have it, try the more expensive stores like Tienda Rossy, south of the cathederal, or, Almacen Gloria, at the north-west corner of the Union Park. There are a million other little stores too. Just walk around and ask until you find what you need. Pali is going to be your closest thing to a supermarket here.
The markets here are excellent, really worth an afternoon wanderings, especially the 'food court' authentic yet surprisingly flavoursome local cuisine for 30cords and up. Also on the far side of the markets close to Pauli, a few great cowboy bars with lots of great local personalities and with visiting street sellers the shops come to you.
If you like secondhand shops then you will love Jinotega, the place is full of secondhand American clothes, lots of people just sell them from their front room but there a couple of big shops, you can get lots of expensive labels here from 30cords up.
Roca Rancho has C$12 Victorias and live music on Thursday nights starting at 8PM.
Soppecxxa is a good coffee shop that is popular with the few extranjeros in town. Its two blocks ?west? from Supermarket Pali. Check out the bar map they have at La Biosfera Cloud forest retreatTwiggy295 15:30, 13 August 2009 (EDT), 4kms out of town, it lists all the great bars in Jinotega a very entertaining day out.
Hotels run from $4 to $100 a night and are easy to come by.
Of all of the places in Nicaragua to do volunteer work, Jinotega is perhaps the most worthy. Due to its problematic history Jinotega has suffered through a serious decline in infrastructure. Jinotega is a place largely forgotten by the outside world.

After the recent articles on taking the lane, this is a good time to re-post one of the pre-website-transition articles about lane positioning.
What is the best lane positioning for a cyclist?
a) As far to the right as possible
b) At least an arm's length away from the edge of the usable roadway
c) On the sidewalk
d) On the left side of the road
If you've been following this blog, you know not to bicycle on the sidewalk. Unfortunately, many cyclists choose option D, which may be appropriate for a pedestrian but is dangerous for a cyclist. A lot of people will also choose answer A.
But the best answer is B, about 18", or an arm's length, away from the edge of the usable roadway.An arm's length gives you wobble room. Even highly experienced cyclists wobble. When you scan behind you, which you should do frequently, you will wobble a little. An arm's length keeps you away from the debris and potholes that accumulate at the edges of roads. Debris and potholes are a common cause of bike wrecks. An arm's length makes you appear bigger than you are. When I started bicycling, I discovered that when I hugged the edge, motorists buzzed me. If I gave myself a little space, motorists gave me a little space. An arm's length makes you more visible to vehicles turning onto or off of the road. This video shows all the benefits of proper lane positioning. An arm's length is easier to estimate than 18". If the curb were a wall, could you reach out and touch it? If the answer is yes, then you are riding too close to the edge.
This excellent short video shows the advantages of lane positioning. Here is another article that covers this topic: http://www.bicyclinglife.com/SafetySkills/FrankNFred003.htm
Some people worry that it is the law to ride on the right edge. Missouri law stipulates that bicyclists ride as far to the right as is safe1. The bicyclist decides what is safe.
Some people worry that motorists will get angry. In my experience, most motorists behave courteously, respectfully, and safely. In most bicycle-motorist collisions the motorist didn't see the cyclist, so if a motorist does honk or yell at me, at least I know I'm visible.
1If you are ever on a bicycle and pulled over for "obstructing traffic", be polite and note the officer's name. If you receive a ticket, don't argue, and find a lawyer. Fortunately I have not heard of anyone in Kirksville having this problem.

So the slopestyle turned out a lot better than it could have.
With wintery conditions persisting all morning, as the women were readying for the slope finals things were looking nasty. The female skiers were first up yesterday and played the role of guinea pigs on the course. They didn't fare well.
It was dumping and the slope run was slow. So slow that a lot of the girls were knuckling. Rumor was one girl dislocated a knee, and as we rode the lift up to the top of the run to check out the shreds, we saw one girl who was being attended to by a half-dozen medics in the landing of the last jump.
The vibe at the top of the course was serious. With just six girls in the finals there weren't too many lurking around the "Athlete Staging" tent. But those that were there were throwing a lot of high fives, encouraging words and "I love you's". These girls are serious competitors, but they're friends first and all about hyping each other up. And they need all the positive vibrations they could get. The weather was clearing up, it'd more or less stopped snowing, but the course still had it's tricky sections. With all the new snow all the landing were getting pretty rutted and bumped out. But the girls kept their heads down and put up some solid runs.
Relative rookie Megan Ginter was charging, throwing massive back threes and one back seven. Her efforts would earn her a bronze in this her second X-Games appearance. Spencer O'Brien was throwing down some serious runs, maybe the smoothest of the day. But, Spencer fell on her last run and left the door open for the Brit Jenny Jones. And Jones stepped-up, dropped in and hammered out one helluva run, which ended with a front seven and earned her the gold.
And then…as soon as the women were done the dudes were taking a few practice runs. The warm-ups were ridiculous. The dudes handled the course like they were mini-shredding. It looked like a video, or really a video game.
Shaun qualified 8th which meant he was first to drop, which meant he'd have to put up he best runs and just hope he didn't get bumped out by all the remaining riders. He only posted a 50 point first run, but came back on his second and put up a 96. And that run would stand as the best of the day and Shaun's ticket to X-Games gold. Lago was hot on his tail and stomped two clean runs, but only got 94.66 from the judges. Mikkel Bang followed these two and ended up taking third with a best run score of 91.33.
Jenny Jones:90.00
Spencer O'Brien: 87.66
Megan Ginter: 82.00
Kjersti Oestgaard Buaas: 75.00
Hana Beaman: 65.33
Kimmy Fasani: 64.00
Shaun White: 96
Scotty Lago: 94.66
Mikkel Bang: 91.33
Chas Guldemond: 91
Peetu Piiroinen:90.33
Andreas Wiig: 89.00
Tim Humphreys: 88.66
Jussi Oksanen:75.00

NCUA Chairman Debbie Matz expressed her support for H.R. 719, the Capital Access for Small Business and Jobs Act, in a May 2 letter to the bill's sponsor, Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.).
The bill would allow credit unions to utilize uninsured, non-share accounts to supplement capital.
"Your legislation would provide credit unions with an additional tool to promote sufficient capital stability – even under adverse economic conditions – and ensure that healthy credit unions would no longer be forced to turn away deposits in order to protect their net worth ratio," Matz wrote in the letter.
The bill would also reduce "downstream risks" to the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund to absorb losses, the NCUA Board chair said, adding that protection of the NCUSIF is "the top priority" of the board.
Matz, who according to the letter met in person with King to discuss the bill, praised three key components added to the bill's final language that would require proper disclosures, ensure the accounts are consistent with Basel standards and Federal Home Loan Bank standards, and would not affect existing members' rights nor confer such rights on non-members.
"Given the important improvements you have made to your bill, I support H.R. 719," she said. "Should Congress choose to enact this prudent legislation, NCUA will promptly propose the necessary rule changes required for implementation."
CUNA, NAFCU and NASCUS have all gone on record in support of the bill, which was reintroduced Feb. 14 after failing to advance beyond committee last Congress.
It currently has 27 co-sponsors, consisting of 20 Democrats and seven Republicans. A companion bill has not been introduced in the Senate.
