Unlike Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray, Roger Federer chose to skip the first clay court Masters event of the year, and will next be seen competing at the Madrid Masters in the first week of May.
The Swiss has gained millions of fans and admirers all over the globe, but as he nears the twilight of his career, some are wondering if the 17-time Grand Slam champion still has what it takes to succeed on the very biggest stages. Since storming to the Wimbledon title last July, and following it up with a commanding victory over Djokovic in Cincinnati, Federer hasn't won a title, and hasn't looked at his best in 2013.
As he gears up for his first clay court tournament of the season, Federer's followers will be hoping for an uptick in their hero's form. Here, then, are three reasons why the legend can win the Madrid Masters title for the fourth time in his career.
1. He will be well-rested
At 31 years of age and with one of the best playing records in the history of the sport, Federer has earned the right to exempt himself from as many Masters series events as he wants. The Basel-born star took advantage of that by opting not to play in Miami last month, meaning he will have had seven weeks off before the start of the Madrid Masters.
Such a hiatus can only be good for Federer. When we last saw him on court, he was struggling with a back injury in Indian Wells, and went down tamely to arch-rival Rafael Nadal. The extended break will not only give him ample time to recover, but also allow him to fine-tune his clay court game away from the glare of fan and media attention.
Playing a tournament involves so much more than simply taking to the tennis court - travel, media commitments and various admin duties can be draining for a player. Having avoided the tour circus for a month and a half, Federer will arrive in the Spanish capital rested, rejuvenated and ready to produce his best tennis.
2. He has a superb record at the Madrid Masters
It is often said that players have "favourite" tournaments, those at which they always tend to hit peak form. Wimbledon is such a tournament for Federer, and Madrid is another. In nine appearances at the Madrid Masters, he has never lost before the quarter-finals. Moreover, he has reached five finals and won three titles at the event, both records.
Granted, the Madrid Masters used to be played on indoor hard courts, but Federer has still outperformed everyone else since the change of surface in 2009. That year, he did what so few players have been able to do: beat Nadal on clay. Although he was defeated by the Spaniard in 2010 and 2011 in Madrid, both losses were closely fought affairs.
Last year, after edging Milos Raonic in a third set tie-break and posting comfortable straight sets wins over Richard Gasquet, David Ferrer and Janko Tipsarevic, Federer was at his fighting best in the final, winning a 158 minute battle with Tomas Berdych 3-6, 7-5, 7-5. Fully at ease in the Caja Májica stadium, and with the memories of countess victories fresh in his mind, the world number two will be confident that he can shine again in Madrid.
3. His biggest rivals are not at their best
There is of course some time to go before the tour swings into Madrid, and Djokovic, Nadal and Murray could indeed hit top form before then, but as things stand, there are questions marks surrounding the form and fitness of Federer's main challengers.
Djokovic suffered an ankle injury during Serbia's Davis Cup tie with the USA, and was a major doubt for Monte Carlo right up until he played his first match. He was then below par during the first two rounds, losing the opening sets against both Mikhail Youzhny and Juan Monaco. Time will tell if the Serb's decision to play on his fragile ankle might jeopardise his prospects for the remainder of the clay court season.
Andy Murray, who is determined to perform better on the dirt this year than he has done in previous seasons, looked far less comfortable in his first clay court tournament of 2013. His 6-1, 6-2 thrashing at the hands of Stanislas Wawrinka in Monaco was simply an ugly match; the Scot made 24 unforced errors and won only 48% of first serve points. While it is unlikely that Murray will play as badly in Madrid, the Scot has a lot of work to do if he hopes to challenge for the title there.
Yet again, Rafael Nadal remains the biggest obstacle in Federer's quest for glory. Since the Madrid Masters switched to clay courts, the Matador has reached three finals and won the title once. Able to count on the full support of the crowd, he will definitely be the man to beat. However, the King of Clay was pushed to three sets by Grigor Dimitrov in Monte Carlo, reminding other players, including Federer, that he is not entirely invincible on his favourite surface. And with the 500 series event in Barcelona on his schedule for next week, Nadal could play up to 10 matches in 14 days, an onerous task even for a player who isn't susceptible to knee tendonitis.
It is fair to say that a lot will have to go right for Roger Federer if he is to win a fourth title in Madrid. He will need to shake off any lingering rust very quickly, and hope for a favourable draw, because with the rankings as they are currently, he could face Djokovic, Murray and Nadal in succession. But there is no doubt that a successful title defence is possible. Another Madrid Masters trophy would put Federer back in the centre of the winners' circle, and make him a top Roland Garros contender into the bargain.

The Public Service Department of the Musée Réattu, in partnership with Compagnie Khoros, carried out a photographic and theatrical creation project between November 2014 and June 2015 with the Institut Médico-Educatif (IME) in Arles 'Les Abeilles'. Rosalba Rizzo, from Compagnie Khoros creates a show every year with IME's company Les Têtes en Galoche. She approached the Public Service Department this year regarding a partnership, in order to create something closely linked to the museum collections.
Whilst discovering the museum and its collections, the adolescents and their teacher fell for the characters featuring in the works. They mastered these figures that were sometimes romantic, sometimes heroic, imagining their personalities, lives and thoughts…They brought these fictional characters to life in a play imagined and staged by Rosalba Rizzo, rehearsing every week between April and June. Corentin was 'Monsieur Académie', Kévin 'Monsieur Quiqueran de Beaujeu', Léa 'Madame Grange Réattu Quiqueran de Beaujeu', Maëva 'Madame Madeleine Quiqueran de Beaujeu', Maxime 'the Griffu', Wafa 'Mademoiselle Vanité', and Christian Soupène. Their teacher was 'Monsieur Petitdoigt'.
These figures also populated the scenery that was designed for the Commanderie de Ste Luce courtyard and created by the pupils with the Public Service Department intermediary. Almost ten sessions were required to make the seven scenery panels. Each one represented the character imagined by the actor who embodied it. The bodies were created as a photogram, one fragment at a time. The choice of this technique, which makes it possible to achieve a photograph by placing an object between the sensitive paper and the light source, links the museum's photography collection and the workshops held by the Public Service Department. These photograms were then printed on transparent sheets mounted on plastic media. Hanging from cables in the courtyard of Ste Luce, these panels were slid along in tune with the story enacted by the company.
The show was performed twice. Wednesday 24th June at 6pm was reserved for IME pupils and teachers, as well as the families of the actors. The next day a public performance was held at 8pm.
In total over 100 people attended this play, the culmination of several months' work.

In the 1970s, Florida environmentalists who had invented the notion that landfills were going to overrun America came up with the idea of making coral reefs out of tires. A few short decades later, the clean-up costs when those all came loose were 100X the supposed savings and tires have fallen out of favor as clever quick fixes since then.
Leave it to people in Tennessee to find a new use for old tires. Oak Ridge National Laboratory
researchers have found a way to use them to make better lithium-ion batteries.
By modifying the microstructural characteristics of carbon black, a substance recovered from discarded tires, a team led by Parans Paranthaman and Amit Naskar is developing a better anode; the negatively charged electrode used as a host for storing lithium during charging.
"Using waste tires for products such as energy storage is very attractive not only from the carbon materials recovery perspective but also for controlling environmental hazards caused by waste tire stock piles," Paranthaman said.
The ORNL technique uses a proprietary pretreatment to recover pyrolytic carbon black material, which is similar to graphite but man-made. When used in anodes of lithium-ion batteries, researchers produced a small, laboratory-scale battery with a reversible capacity that is higher than what is possible with commercial graphite materials.
In fact, after 100 cycles the capacity measures nearly 390 milliamp hours per gram of carbon anode, which exceeds the best properties of commercial graphite. Researchers attribute this to the unique microstructure of the tire-derived carbon.
"This kind of performance is highly encouraging, especially in light of the fact that the global battery market for vehicles and military applications is approaching $78 billion and the materials market is expected to hit $11 billion in 2018," Paranthaman said.
Anodes are one of the leading battery components, with 11 to 15 percent of the materials market share, according to Naskar, who noted that the new method could eliminate a number of hurdles.
"This technology addresses the need to develop an inexpensive, environmentally benign carbon composite anode material with high-surface area, higher-rate capability and long-term stability," Naskar said.

Bangs10:43 PM
Hello, everyone. :)
Many of you don't know, even because it's not really an important subject ahaha, but I did bangs. I had never done it - well not since I was 4 or something - so I was really aprehensive about it. But I took a leap of faith and I went and did it. I didn't like it at first and I'm still not quite sure about them, but I'm starting to kinda like them. And today I went out for a cup of coffee after work with my dear friend Adriano (I love him to bits) and he had his camera with him, so he took some pictures of me.
He made me like my bangs a little bit more. :)
By the way, check out his beautiful stream: HERE
Take care.

Abortion - a matter of human rights and social justice
Access to safe abortion and legalization of abortion can prevent unnecessary suffering and death of women.
Abortion incidence
- As of 2010–2014, an estimated 36 abortions occur each year per 1,000 women aged 15–44 in developing regions, compared with 27 in developed regions. The abortion rate declined significantly in developed regions since 1990–1994; however, no significant change occurred in developing regions.
- Abortions occur as frequently in the two most-restrictive categories of countries (banned outright or allowed only to save the woman's life) as in the least-restrictive category (allowed without restriction as to reason)—37 and 34 per 1,000 women, respectively.
Abortion law
- Laws fall along a continuum from outright prohibition to allowing abortion without restriction as to reason. As of 2017, 42% of women of reproductive age live in the 125 countries where abortion is highly restricted (prohibited altogether, or allowed only to save a woman's life or protect her health).
Abortion safety
- In highly restrictive contexts, clandestine abortions are now safer because fewer occur by dangerous and invasive methods. Women increasingly use medication abortion methods—primarily the drug misoprostol alone, as it is typically more available in these contexts than the method of mifepristone and misoprostol combined.
- Of all abortions, an estimated 55% are safe (i.e., done using a recommended method and by an appropriately trained provider); 31% are less safe (meet either method or provider criterion); and 14% are least safe (meet neither criterion). The more restrictive the legal setting, the higher the proportion of abortions that are least safe—ranging from less than 1% in the least-restrictive countries to 31% in the most-restrictive countries.
- Unsafe abortions occur overwhelmingly in developing regions, where countries that highly restrict abortion are concentrated.
- In 14 developing countries where unsafe abortion is prevalent, 40% of women who have an abortion develop complications that require medical attention. In all developing regions combined (except Eastern Asia), an estimated 6.9 million women are treated annually for such complications; however, many more who need treatment do not get timely care.
For more information please see https://www.guttmacher.org/report/abortion-worldwide-2017
By restricting access to safe abortion countries violate women's rights especially Article 25 of the United Nations' Universal Declaration of Human Rights states that "Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family, including food, clothing, housing and medical care and necessary social services."
The World Health Organization's definition of health is: "Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity". (http://apps.who.int/gb/bd/PDF/bd47/EN/constitution-en.pdf?ua=1)
The WHO listed the abortion medicines mifepristone and misoprostol as essential medicines since 2005. (http://apps.who.int/iris/bitstream/10665/93142/1/EML_18_eng.pdf)
Access to essential medicines as part of the right to the highest attainable standard of health ("the right to health") is well-founded in numerous international human rights treaties, such as: the Universal Declaration of Human Rights: Article 25.1 in 1948; the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination; Article 5 (e) (iv) in 1965; the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights: Article 12.1 in 1966; the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women; Articles 11 (1) (f), 12 and 14 (2) (b) in 1979; the 1989 Convention on the Rights of the Child; Article 24; the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families; Articles 28, 43 (e) and 45 (c) in 1990, and the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities: Article 25 in 2006.
In October 2011, Anand Grover, the UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Health, submitted a report to the UN General Assembly which stated, "Criminal laws penalising and restricting induced abortion are the paradigmatic examples of impermissible barriers to the realisation of women's right to health and must be eliminated. These laws infringe women's dignity and autonomy by severely restricting decision-making by women in respect of their sexual and reproductive health" (https://www.un.org/press/en/2011/gashc4018.doc.htm)
General comment No. 22 (2016) on the right to sexual and reproductive health (article 12 of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights) states that, "Essential medicines should also be available, including a wide range of contraceptive methods, such as condoms and emergency contraception, medicines for abortion and for post-abortion care, and medicines, including generic medicines, for the prevention and treatment of sexually transmitted infections and HIV." (http://www.ohchr.org/EN/NewsEvents/Pages/DisplayNews.aspx?NewsID=17168&LangID=E#sthash.MfGe1y5D.XSS87v3P.dpuf)
In 2013 the Committee on the Rights of the Child General comment No. 15 ( 2013) on the right of the child to the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of health (art. 24) stated: The Committee recommends that States ensure access to safe abortion and post-abortion care services, irrespective of whether abortion itself is legal.
On 6 December 2016, the Committee on the Rights of the Child General comment No. 20 (2016) on the implementation of the rights of the child during adolescence stated:"The Committee urges States to decriminalize abortion to ensure that girls have access to safe abortion and postabortion services, review legislation with a view to guaranteeing the best interests of pregnant adolescents and ensure that their views are always heard and respected in abortion related decisions."
On April 4 April 2016 the Report of the Special Rapporteur on the right of everyone to the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health" stated:" In connection to sexual and reproductive health rights, the Special Rapporteur recommends that Governments: (b) Decriminalize abortion and guarantee all adolescents access to confidential, adolescent-responsive and non-discriminatory sexual and reproductive health information, services and goods, including on family planning, counselling, pre- conception care, maternal care, sexually transmitted infections, diagnosis and treatment, as well as modern forms of contraception, including emergency contraception, and safe abortion and post-abortion services; (https://www.right-docs.org/doc/a-hrc-32-32)
In 2008 The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, resolution 1607 stated:The Assembly invites the member states of the Council of Europe to:
7.1. decriminalise abortion within reasonable gestational limits, if they have not already done so;
7.2. guarantee women's effective exercise of their right of access to a safe and legal abortion;
7.3. allow women freedom of choice and offer the conditions for a free and enlightened choice without specifically promoting abortion;
7.4. lift restrictions which hinder, de jure or de facto, access to safe abortion, and, in particular, take the necessary steps to create the appropriate conditions for health, medical and psychological care and offer suitable financial cover;
States have a responsibility to refrain from limiting access to health and to refrain from enacting, laws and policies that create barriers in access to sexual and reproductive health services:
The General Comment of the Committee on Economic Social and Cultural Rights on the right to the highest attainable standard of health in the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights paragraph 42 stated: "While only States are parties to the Covenant and thus ultimately accountable for compliance with it, all members of society - individuals, including health professionals, families, local communities, intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations, civil society organizations, as well as the private business sector - have responsibilities regarding the realization of the right to health. State parties should therefore provide an environment which facilitates the discharge of these responsibilities.
The authoritative General Comment 14 (2000) also applies the principles of accessibility, availability, appropriateness and assured quality to goods and services, which include essential medicines "as defined by the WHO Action Programme on Essential Drugs". (http://www.who.int/medicines/areas/human_rights/en/)
General comment No. 22 (2016) on the right to sexual and reproductive health (article 12 of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights) states that: "Also essential medicines should be available, including a wide range of contraceptive methods, such as condoms and emergency contraception, medicines for abortion and for post-abortion care, and medicines, including generic medicines, for the prevention and treatment of sexually transmitted infections and HIV."

Raindrops on lilies
teardrops in the summer sun
diamonds from the sky
Raindrops on lilies
teardrops in the summer sun
diamonds from the sky
I am a paper flower
with no colour or scent to distinguish me
Alone in the wilderness
fragile layers of tissue petals wither
and tremble
Desiccated they crumble
exposing my core
where sweetness should dwell
but merely a twist of thorns remains
Posted in response to the Daily Post weekly photo challenge. This week's theme 'From Every Angle – take photographs of the same stationary subject from three different angles'
Found this little chap on my Clematis just now. He proved a perfect, uncomplaining model for this challenge! I'm not sure exactly what type of bug he is, he could be a green shield bug* but doesn't seem quite so 'shield' shaped as others I've found in the garden in the past. Perhaps he's just a rugged individualist! Anyhoo, I think he's a cutie pie and could he look any more like a bit of leaf if he tried?
* this has reminded me – my mum used to collect green shield stamps from the grocers when i was a kid. If you spent a gazillion pounds and collected about 200 hundred bookfuls of them you could exchange them for a toaster or something. Happy days! 🙂
Posted in response to the Daily Post weekly photo challenge. This weeks theme 'Close Up
I'm glad to say we have gazillions of bees in our garden at the mo' and they particularly like my lavender. There are several different types, and lets face it, at first glance they all look the same, but with the help of a Friends of the Earth identification guide, I'm slowly beginning to recognise the differences. This one is a Common Carder Bumblebee (I think) which you can tell by his bouffant yellow 'do' and the yellow stripes that go right down to his bottom.
I've always rather fancied keeping a few hives, but really, having plenty of flowers in the garden has bought enough buzzy visitors in to satisfy my bee love.

Too much data entry, not enough time.Read more >
I started updating the T-Flare Wiki on the 22/4/2010. Since Ov and JMTL aren't around any more, I figured that I would keep going with it, seeing as I've spent quite a bit of time here.
There is a lot of work to be done here to get it to what some consider to be a very high standard. I'm okay with that. I'm sure that everyone else wants this to be a very high quality thing too yeah?
In this link: I have listed a few bits of artwork that I need done by other members of T-Flare since I suck at artwork and my computer doesn't support Photoshop (it's at least 10 years old - what do you expect?)
I'm going to post updates both here and in the T-Flare Wikia Thread in the Announcements thread, which is at the …

Hey Windsorites!
For any of you that know me really well or simply just by following me, know that my phone is my lifeline. I use it for absolutely everything, whether it's updating this site, shopping for that new pair of boots that I must have–down to paying my bills.
Which means I need a reliable network.
@TELUS is making it happen!
Most of you will be very happy to know that in our city of Windsor and now Leamington (as of today, November 13) too, TELUS is offering a 4 G LTE wireless network which is lightning fast. You can now have faster downloading speeds on your mobile and tablets, folks.
This leads me to something incredibly important and that I think needs so much attention within our community. Until December 5, TELUS will contribute $25 on behalf of every new smartphone customer in Windsor to the John McGivney Children's Centre – a primary children's treatment centre responsible for supporting youth and children with disabilities and special needs.
TELUS will donate up to $70,000 for the Centre's capital campaign, which supports all rehabilitative services and gives the best Aetna rehab insurance benefits, a section 68 school, preschool and various programs for children with special needs. All programs and services at the Centre have the fundamental goal of helping children with disabilities reach their full potential.
So, what better time to get that new phone you've been eyeing?
Especially with a lightning speed 4G LTE network behind you and the amazing cause that helps YOUR community, our city, Windsor?
Additionally, TELUS is putting customers first and embracing new ideas to make the TELUS experience better. By listening to customers, TELUS has not only eliminated activation fees, it has dramatically simplified its entire fee schedule.
This builds on a series of improvements where TELUS has also eliminated carrier 911 and system access fees on all its Clear and Simple rate plans, reduced bill shock with Flex Data Plans, Data Notifications and travel roaming packages, added Caller ID and Voicemail as standard on all TELUS rate plans, simplified device pricing with Anytime Upgrades and revolutionized mobility contracts by introducing a Device Balance instead of the dreaded contract termination fee.
Hello, Samsung Galaxy Tab.
I'm looking at a new Samsung Galaxy Tab and it's looking mighty fine. You can see all the devices that are 4G LTE compatible and let me tell you, as a Samsung Galaxy S3 user, I'm telling you those phones are amazing!
The LG Optimus G that is pictured above will make a great holiday gift for that special someone. They'll be thanking you too, as they will save a little more on the device, since they won't have to pay for those annoying activation fees that TELUS recently got rid of.
On top of that, TELUS has also introduced unlimited talk and family share plans for new and renewing customers, so keeping in touch with family and friends with the new LG Optimus G is more affordable than ever.
A Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro 1.5 GHz quad core processor, which provides PC-like performance in your palm. You can now browse faster, download HD content quicker and buffer less. Slowdowns and freezing are virtually non-existent on this device. You can check out the plans and 4G LTE coverage, here.
- A 100 mA/h high density battery with increased capacity, and optimized power consumption to ensure that you get the longest possible life out of your phone.
- A smarter camera that allows you to take photos using voice command and simultaneously capture video and pictures.
- A customizable virtual keyboard that allows you to set the keyboard up exactly as you like it for a more comfortable and natural typing experience.
- The LG Optimus G is available at TELUS for $129 on a 3 year term with a minimum monthly $50 plan.
So, if you're looking for a great gift this Holiday season, whether it's for yourself or a special someone–just know that you'll be a happy camper and if you're in Windsor, Ontario–you'll be making a difference!
For more information and current updates, follow @TELUS on Twitter!
If you could please spread the word–I'd be forever grateful!
Til next time, cheers m'deres!

Sony Xperia S camera wins cowboy shootout against the iPhone 4S, Nokia Lumia 800 and the Galaxy S II
The Xperia S with its 12MP Exmor R sensor took 1.8 seconds, a tad over the 1.5 that the commercials claimed, while the Nokia Lumia 800 came up pretty close to that as well. The iPhone 4S and the Galaxy S II both took over 5 seconds, when the cowboys counted the time needed to start the camera app with the on-screen button, and then use the virtual shutter key to take a picture.
Of course, both the Xperia S and the Lumia 800 have dedicated camera buttons on the side that take you directly into snapping a picture, without having to go through icons, which worked aggressively in their favor. Watch the funny shootout video below, Clint Eastwood would be proud.

text: isobelle44 Posted July 28, 2008 I always wonder how morphea is all related to scleroderma. I know it is called localized scleroderma, i know it is only skin involvement, But I wonder how else they are connected. Though there isnt suppose to be internal organ involvement, i seem to have several other kinda weird things that I have seen others discribe on these sites that have diffused or systemic. Like: i have had those little prickly heat things on my hands before morphea popped out, i thought I was allergic to the sun cause it happened everytime I went outside. After the morphea appeared I never had that again (so far) then recently I have had a couple little lumps on my back of hand. I had to have a medical procedure and they have been having a hard time lately drawing blood and putting in the iv, they blew 2 veins and the expert had to do it. I have started having problems with my eyes and have developed a syndrom that can lead to glaucoma, i have read about systemic having that. It seems my feet have lost padding, they hurt like crazy and im always looking for the new gel pad to try. Dry eyes so far no sjogrens but I have to use artificial tears. Some sore joints , legs mostly, sometimes wrist tightness in my neck seems my hair is thinning Diahrea, or constapated acid reflux, though not everyday, just more then I used to. I take antacid tablets and it helps. Little things like that. Im not saying its totally scleroderma related, it certainly could be other reasons, getting older,im 53, diabetic (type 2), i work hard and have more stress then I want. But not much I can do about that. I have a scleroderma specialist dermatologist and she has sent me once to the scleroderma specialist rheumatologist that talked to me but didn't do any testing. I have only had this for a year. I wonder if this is morphea or morphea with scleroderma overlap, i dont have raynauds, yet anyway. I read alot about all the forms of scleroderma and it seems I can relate to alot of different things. Its a very strange disease. Any comments would be greatly appreciated. sorry I forgot to add that I have had that burning, unbearable itchy skin (havent had that for a while now) also slightly puffy fingers. think thats all.

After lecturing for six weeks at Tong Ji Univerity in Shanghai within the "International Master Program in Automatics", Pascual Campoy visited three world top prestigious Universities in Beijing, where he gave a speech about research on vision for UAV and contacted the local groups working in the area.
Sino-Spanish Campus at Tong Ji Clases at Tong Ji
The visits were possible thanks to the invitation of professor Lu Geng who conducted the visit to Tsinghua University together with Prof Chen in order to tight the contacts between both institutions and to look for collaboration in the area of UAV Swarm and Visual Guidance, that will be effective during Summer 2014.
at Tsinghua Univ. with Prof Lu Geng Lab for UAVs at Tsinghua Univ.

What a distinct pleasure it was to be present when Danny and Doris Pickering of Northwest Missouri came to pick up their twentieth trike (yes, that 20 trikes and counting) at our fabulous dealer, Niehaus Cycles, in Litchfield, IL. The Roadsmith Team had come to support Niehaus Cycle at their annual Open House that weekend and was fortunate enough to get to meet Danny and Doris as they came to pick up their new trike.
If you're wondering (which I'm sure you are by now), Danny and Doris have owned a wide variety of trikes including examples from most of the major manufacturers. Were they happy with all of those trikes? Let's just say, some of them. With such experienced trike customers, you can imagine our trepidation as they set out on their first ever Roadsmith Trike for a day's ride with some friends. We knew they would love their new trike, but we wondered how much.
Well, we're happy to report that the Pickerings LOVED their new 2012 Gold Wing HT1800 Roadsmith Trike and have had nothing but good things to say about its styling, comfort and handling. We are confident that numbers 21, 22 (and, hopefully, into the 30s) will be Roadsmith Trikes and we are honored to award our Trike of the Month award to such an experienced trike couple. Danny and Doris…thank you for sharing your photos and your stories with us and (finally) welcome to the Roadsmith Family!

Charge sheet filed against Dawood's brother
June 02, 2003 18:44 IST
Mumbai Police on Monday filed a charge sheet in a special court against Iqbal Hassan Kaskar, younger brother of underworld gangster Dawood Ibrahim, and two others in an alleged case of extortion and land grabbing.
The other two accused are Sardar Teli and Abdul Rehman Sheikh.
Police have charged them under the Indian Penal Code and the Maharashtra Control for Organised Crime Act for evicting a woman from her house, which obstructed the Sara Shopping Centre in South Mumbai.
On a plea by police, designated judge A P Bhangale had attached Sara and Sahara Shopping Complex, allegedly owned by Dawood.
Police said the three accused in this case were front men of Dawood and the gangster had invested in real estate through them to channel the flow of black money.
They claimed to have recorded the telephonic conversation between Kaskar and the two accused over these properties, which indicated that they had indulged in extortion and land grabbing.
Police informed the court that preparations were on for transcribing the text of these talks and cassettes of these alleged conversations have been sent for spectrographic analysis.
The accused have been charged under the Indian Penal Code with sections 387 (putting a person in fear of death or grievous hurt to commit extortion), 392 (robbery), 120(b) (conspiracy) and 34 (common intention).
They have also been charged with sections 3 and 4 of MCOCA, which deal with offences related to organised crime syndicate and possessing unaccounted wealth on behalf of such syndicate.
In a related development, 370 tenants of the shopping complexes and joint owners of the properties moved the Mumbai high court on Monday challenging the order of the special court to attach the property.
Justice S S Parkar directed the prosecution to file its reply and deferred the matter till June 10. The petitioners argued that properties were jointly owned by them and did not belong to all the accused alone, therefore the attachment order was illegal.

Now in our seventh year of collecting and reporting on these nonprofit technology spending and practices data, this research provides not only the benchmarks you and your organization can use for assessing and planning your technology budgets and strategies, but also provides valuable benchmarks for the nonprofit sector as a whole in gauging the maturity and effectiveness of technology strategies and use.
Download the complete report here.
With NTEN's strategic outcomes in mind, this report examines: technology staffing levels, technology budgets, overall organizational approach to technology decisions, as well as technology oversight and management practices.
Key findings from this year's survey:
- On average, our respondents have 3.4 technology-responsible staff
- On average, each technologyresponsible staff supports almost 29 organizational staff members
- "Leading" organizations have about 5x more total technology staff than "Struggling" organizations
- Because technology budgets can vary widely, even when comparing organizations of a similar operating budget size category, using the Per- Staff budget metric can be a more useful benchmark for planning and assessment.
- When looking at the Per-Staff budgets, we see that Very Large organizations may be spending the same or even less than Small organizations.
- The median technology budget as a percentage of the organization's total operating budget across all organization sizes in our survey ranges from 1% to 2.2%.
Download the complete report for free here.
And don't forget, you can compare your own organization's technology staffing and budget levels to the research via NTEN's online benchmarking tool, which allows you to filter the data by organization size, staff size, issue area, and more. You can also print custom benchmark reports or download your filtered data set.

U.S. Department of Transportation officials are disputing Texas Gov. Rick Perry's statement at the Iowa State Fair on Monday that federal administrators plan to require a farmer driving a tractor across a public road to obtain a commercial driver's license.
"We are absolutely not requiring farmers" to obtain commercial licenses, such as those required of semitrailer operators, said U.S. Department of Transportation spokeswoman Candice Tolliver in Washington, D.C.
She said U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood had put out a statement last week making the DOT's position clear.
"We have no intention of instituting onerous regulations on the hardworking farmers who feed our country and fuel our economy," LaHood's statement said.
Perry, who on Saturday announced he is seeking the presidency, contended in Des Moines on Monday that federal regulations are stifling creation of American jobs.
He then proceeded to cite what he termed an "obscene, crazy" regulation. "If you are a tractor driver, if you drive your tractor across a public road, you're going to have to have a commercial driver's license. Now how idiotic is that?"
Perry said that he had talked on Sunday with U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley at a GOP dinner in Waterloo. Perry told Grassley he had heard in the past two days that the federal government was going to put such a rule in place.
"Your own United States senator, sitting there at the table, said, 'That's right.' And I said, 'What were they thinking, senator?' And he said, 'They weren't.' So that is the issue at hand here," Perry said.
Asked by the Register on Monday evening about what DOT officials had said, Perry asked, "Was this Snopes.com?" referring to the myth-busting website. "Is that where we look this one up?"
Perry repeated that he had talked about it with Grassley, who agreed it didn't make sense. "Senator Grassley, when I asked him about it last night – I've got to go with your senior senator," he said.
His staff, checking their BlackBerrys, said it might be a recent development that federal transportation officials dropped the idea.
Federal officials earlier Monday said there was never an issue.
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration gave this account in a statement last week: The agency had heard from farmers concerned about what the rules were concerning commercial licenses. So the agency said it initiated a review to make sure states don't go overboard in enforcing rules on agricultural operators. The agency then sought public comment on several related issues, including the question of "whether off-road farm equipment or implements of husbandry operated on public roads for limited distances are considered commercial motor vehicles."
Some farm groups interpreted the request for comment as a signal the federal DOT was about to impose new regulations on farmers. For example, the National Sorghum Producers posted an article on its website on Aug. 4, saying, "A CDL to drive a tractor? Another burdensome regulation looms over ag." Grassley joined nearly two dozen other senators in writing two letters to federal officials on the issue.
LaHood, a former Republican congressman from Illinois, said in his statement last week that his agency was reinforcing its commitment to no new regulations for America's agricultural community.
Grassley's aides, asked Monday about Perry's comments, referred to an electronic newsletter Grassley issued Friday. The senator wrote that common sense had appeared to prevail in the matter. But he complained that "the last few months have shown a clear disconnect between Washington bureaucrats at the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration … and rural America."
Dave Lorenzen, director of the Iowa DOT's Office of Motor Vehicle Enforcement, said state officials have no plans to require farmers to obtain a commercial driver's license to operate farm tractors on public roads.

Plans changed…we originally were planning to be on the lake in Colorado City, TX last night. But, looking at the mileage, we opted to be a few miles closer to home and reduce the drive-time today. Instead of 7 hours today, we'll only have about 5 hours up to Raton, NM. Yesterday's drive took us from the lush Hill Country of Texas to the western panhandle area. We've left behind the rolling hills, stark limestone cuts, trees and rivers for flat plains, tumbleweeds, oil rigs and wind generators. Texas leads the nation in the amount of wind power produced. (they have lots of flat, windy country here)
We're at the Lubbock RV Park, on the north side of Lubbock just off of I-27, across from the Lubbock International Airport. The location is the only down-side to this park. It's fairly noisy with freeway traffic, and an occasional aircraft departing or arriving at the airport. The park has about 90 sites, a group of about 30 near the office & clubhouse with mature trees. The remaining 60 sites are further from the road but without mature trees. The outdoor pool is right behind the office, but isn't open yet. The clubhouse has a small library, a TV room, a fitness center and 4 private bathrooms with large, full size showers. There is no cable TV hookup, but 10 channels are available over-the-air. The paved streets and cement pads are level and wide. Each site has a small picnic table available. Overnight rates range from $34 to $28. Our site with electric, sewer and water is $28 less the 10% Good Sam discount.
This is the first park we've stayed at that offered Wi-Fi for a fee. Access is available free for the first 4 hours, after that there is a $5/day fee. You can also set up a pre-paid account for use at other Wi-Fi locations at http://TengoInternet.com. Verizon Broadband coverage was very good in this location and we didn't try the Wi-Fi.
We probably wouldn't stay here again – the noise is a factor when you're in a pop-up. But, with a tailer, 5th wheel or coach, and parked a bit further away from the road – this is a great park.
We'll *finally* leave Texas today, after covering almost 1000 miles since our departure from Harlingen. We'll cross over into New Mexico near Clayton, just south of the Oklahoma panhandle and only about 50 miles from Kansas. We plan to stay near Raton tonight, then will turn north along I-25 for the final leg of the trip home. More from New Mexico…

This obituary was sent to me, 30 May 2000, by Father Kieran O'Shea of the Presbytery of Knocknagoshel, County Kerry, Ireland, in regards to queries of the Mangan family, especially Bishop John Mangan. Unfortunately, this obituary was undated, but in a hand written note from Father O'Shea he writes that Rev. John Mangan died ca 1917. Since Rev. John Mangan presided over his sister's funeral, she had to have died prior to 1917. Also, via a phone conversation with Father O'Shea, he said Mrs. Shanahan and Bishop Mangan's father (Daniel) died ca 1910. Since he is not listed in the obituary, it is possible that Mrs. Shanahan died between 1910-1917.

MMM is not a bank, MMM does not collect your money, MMM is not an online business, HYIP, investment or MLM program. MMM is a community where people help each other. MMM gives you a technical platform which helps millions of participants worldwide to connect those who NEED help to those who are ready to PROVIDE help, for FREE. All transferred funds to another participant are your help given by your own good will to another one, absolutely gratis. If you are completely confident and certain in your actions and make your mind to participate, we kindly ask you to study carefully all warnings and instructions first. In cases of any matter regarding the topic Our online consultants are ready to help and answer all of your questions.
MMM is a community of people providing each other financial help on the principle of gratuitousness, reciprocity and benevolence.
In MMM you don't have to make contracts or pledge your property. In MMM there are no lenders and no debtors. Everything is very simple: one participant asks for help — another one helps.
The only thing that MMM demands from its participants is to be honest and kind to each other. You ask for financial help when you need it, you give financial help when you are able to do it.
How does it work technically? You declare the willingness to give help (click in your Personal Office (hereinafter PO) "Provide Help"), after which your account will be rewarded with mavro (internal "currency"/scores of the System). Mavros will start growing from the moment of offering the contribution at the rate of 30% per month. (Calculation of reward occurs twice a week, on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 00:00 GMT.) This sum in Mavro shows how much you can request for yourself.
Say you have announced willingness to assist with $ 100. You will be rewarded in your PO with 100 mavro. And they will immediately start growing! A month later, these 100 will become 130 mavro. Accordingly, you will be able to request assistance for $ 130.
However, it is not necessary at all to wait for a month. Help can be requested at any time. But only after confirmation of your mavro. What does "after confirmation" mean? It means only after you actually transfer money, i.e. really give assistance to another participant. (But not just declare willingness. :-)) Request for providing help comes to you in your personal office. If you do not do it within 48 hours, you will be removed from the system. (For all eternity. :-))
In cases of any matter regarding the topic our online consultants are ready to help and answer all your questions.

Southport - Tommy Fleetwood used to sneak onto the course to practice at Royal Birkdale when he was a kid, hoping nobody would notice.
Now the 26-year-old local lad is back at the venue for this week's British Open very much in the limelight -- he is being talked about as a potential winner thanks to his outstanding recent form.
"I think this week it's going to be an experience for me I'll never forget. It's very rare that you get a tournament this close to home," Fleetwood told reporters at the course in Southport, north-west England, on Monday.
The Open is being held here for the 10th time, the first since Padraig Harrington retained the Claret Jug in 2008.
"If you ask anybody playing this week that's been here before they'll say it's one of the best courses in the world, very arguably the best Open venue," said Fleetwood, who grew up just along the road.
"If you live five minutes away, you're going to try to get on when you can. I might have be bunked on the odd time and hit the odd shot.
"But that was about as far as it goes. Yeah, it's very cool. It was a course I would have crept on now and again. It's where The Open is and now I'm playing."
Locals turning out to support him when he tees off in a group with world number two Hideki Matsuyama and US Open champion Brooks Koepka on Thursday morning have good reason to believe that Fleetwood can do them proud, too.
He has won twice already this year, including at the recent French Open, and is top of the European Tour's Race to Dubai rankings.
Ranked 14 in the world, he also contended at last month's US Open, finishing fourth while Koepka won the title.
With the last seven majors having been won by players who had never previously won any of the sport's biggest prizes, Fleetwood is hoping to extend that run.
"Recent results have clearly put me in the eye and made people talk about me as a chance," he said.
"I've won a couple of times this year. This is still The Open and there's so many things that go into it. I think that's the only thing with The Open, the luck of the draw goes into it, depending on the conditions."
He accepts he will have to deal with the expectation of the home crowds this week, but insists being considered a potential winner will not affect him.
"I have thought about winning The Open since I was five years old, so I think thinking about it another few days isn't going to make any difference to me," he said.
"It's nice to be spoken of in that light, to be honest. I find it very flattering and I mean, it doesn't affect me in any way, apart from it's very nice and makes me smile, really."
