I have been wanting to do a custom build for a very long time and after looking around for a while I decided that I really liked what Rob English was doing and I really missed riding a steel bike. So with everything settled I contacted Rob and here we go.
I asked Rob if it was alright to share the pictures which he was more than willing to do. He is doing some cool things on the build that I have not seen yet and you can see one of the custom parts in the first post.
First one shows the raw tubing - from left to right: Unmodified dropouts, BB shell, headtube stock, straight gauge seattube, 3/8" tubing for seatstays, 1-3/8" downtube, 1-1/8" toptube, S3 chainstays.
Next picture is lightning the BB shell; similar process for externally butting the headtube and seattube.
Third picture shows a modified Thomson Elite seatpost with the Masterpiece that will have the same treatment for my bike.
Needs to be installed first then saddle after. I think the first time will be a bit of work but after it is set to my height, should be alright. Internal bolt will be 4mm Ti and I will use my carbon cradle and top matched up with Ti bolts. Gives 20mm of height adjustment.
More pictures to follow once I have others. I do not want to bug Rob for more pictures of the build as I would rather have it in hand that bug him.
The original thought was to build up the English as an all around bike for very long hours in the saddle and keeping the SLC as my WW build.
I am torn a bit right now in the direction of the build. I picked up some 2010 Force Shifters and a RD and have everything else to go on the build with the exception of some 26.0 drop bars. The direction that I want to go in might change depending on the weight of the finished frame. My thinking is to take all of the WW build parts off of the SLC and put them on this frame and then make the SLC a more aero build but still using drops and adding on some HED Clip-Lites.
Making the English build as light as possible and then making the SLC more aero. If I do go this direction I believe that both bikes would then be around 14 lbs and have more purpose. Still up in the air.

Project in progress
What is your wish for this project?
We will start a vertical garden in our school with recycled water bottles. We hope that people can learn about these different ways of gardening and how easy they can be to implement.
How are you going to do it?
We will collect water bottles and use them to make a vertical garden in the courtyard of my school. We will also assume full responsibility for maintaining and caring for the plants.

Ultra-Thin Hybrid Organic-Inorganic Deployable CFRP Structures with Improved Resistance to UV in the Space Environment
In this work, thin carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) structures were coated with an organic-inorganic resin system for improved resistance to the low Earth orbit (LEO) environment. Thin structures of this type have been proposed for use in solar sails and other large deployable structures. The ultra-light, long extendible members were primarily composed of aromatic, high stiffness epoxy resin (TGDDM) cured with aromatic polyamines. This resin system was chosen because the high aromatic content provides excellent stiffness and creep resistance that are critical for this application. However, the resin’s aromaticity contributes to degradation by ultraviolet radiation and oxidation. The proposed solution involves shielding aromatic rings and organic chemical bonds that are prone to degradation by UV rays, with a cycloaliphatic resin system additionally reinforced with silicon nanostructures. By applying surface coating a significant decrease in roughness was observed and the surface degradation due to UV radiation prevented.

Red Brick Daily
Taiwan took another step towards marriage equality on Friday … with Kaohsiung leading the way in issuing the first “same-sex partnership card” to two young women.
The card, which was an idea conceived by the Kaohsiung City Civil Affairs Bureau, has basic information on it … and serves as a kind of ID.
Both the women’s names, birth dates, and birthplaces are included … “officially” solemnizing them as a couple.
The couple, identified by CNA as Yang Ying-fan (陳盈汎) and Wu Yu-ting (吳羽婷) … were reportedly overjoyed to receive the first same-sex partnership card, saying it will give them more legal protection … while also adding that now their partner can’t “run away” quite so easily as they are “formally recognized” 🙂
Deputy Director of Kaohsiung City’s Civil Affairs Bureau Chen Shu-fang (陳淑芳) was on hand to congratulate and present the couple with gifts.
Reports from KHH’s Sanmin District claim 32 couples have since visited the household office to request the new card.
Taipei says it is looking into the KHH card and plans to issue a similar document.
Taipei Department of Civil Affairs Commissioner Lan Shih-tsung (藍世聰), says they will speak with Taipei LGBT groups, hear their concerns and issue a similar card “very soon.”
While a good step, the card still falls short of marriage equality.
But activists have been buoyed by recent moves that do seem to indicate that Taiwan is very close to becoming the first nation in Asia to legalize same-sex marriage.

Cote D’Ivoire— International Finance Corporation, a member of the World Bank Group, has inked two agreements with Côte d’Ivoire’s Ministry of Health to help the government create and operate public-private partnerships (PPPs).
Côte d’Ivoire currently has limited access to excellent healthcare due to a significant shortage of diagnostic and imaging equipment, inadequate equipment maintenance, and a lack of qualified healthcare staff.
This is a one-of-a-kind public-private partnership (PPP) approach that will soon offer inexpensive, high-quality laboratory and imaging services at 14 hospitals in the Abidjan and Abengourou regions.
As lead transaction adviser, IFC will assist with Côte d’Ivoire’s Ministry of Health to design, organize, and competitively contract two PPPs for laboratory and imaging services in 14 public hospitals in the Abidjan and Abengourou areas, which have a combined population of 6.7 million people.
The agreement also suggests that the commercial partners that win the bids will design, build, equip, finance, run, and maintain the laboratory and imaging services.
The initiative, the first “hybrid PPP” model in healthcare, will be funded by both private-sector and concessional financing from the World Bank and the Global Financing Facility (GFF).
The Global Financing Facility (GFF) is a World Bank-led collaboration that helps nations develop their health-care systems, with a focus on women, children, and adolescents.
Pierre Dimba, Côte d’Ivoire’s Minister of Health, Public Hygiene, and Universal Health Coverage, stated that the government is committed to creating health infrastructure to deliver quality health services in both the country’s rural and urban areas.
He went on to express his joy in collaborating with the IFC, the World Bank, and the GFF to use private sector funds and expertise to develop public diagnostics infrastructure and provide low-cost, high-quality health services.
He went on to say that this project will help them get closer to their aim of providing universal health coverage for their people, particularly in mother and child health.
Josiane Kwenda, IFC Country Manager for Côte d’Ivoire, remarked that improving access to quality imaging and laboratory services is crucial to providing quality and timely healthcare delivery, which is critical to social and economic development.
She went on to emphasize that the IFC is glad to support the government of Côte d’Ivoire in its efforts to increase the availability and quality of imaging and lab services through private financing and expertise, thereby releasing constrained public money to support other sectors in the health sector.
In addition to IFC’s PPP advisory services’ support, the project is embedded within a World Bank operation linked to the National Health Insurance Program.
Marie-Chantal Uwanyiligira, World Bank Country Director for Côte d’Ivoire, stated that innovative public-private partnerships are a timely investment in Côte d’Ivoire’s pursuit of universal health coverage for its population.
She went on to highlight that these partnerships provide a significant opportunity for the private sector to contribute to the strengthening of the health system and positively impact the lives of the Ivorian people.
The World Bank’s Health, Nutrition, and Early Childhood Development (ECD) program is co-financed by a grant from the Global Financing Facility (GFF), the Early Learning Partnership, and the Global Fund.
Its goal is to strengthen and expand access to quality health, nutrition, and ECD services, particularly for women, children, and poor populations in select regions of Cote d’Ivoire.
Once concluded, the initiatives will expand access to world-class diagnostic services, allowing for early detection of medical disorders, more effective treatment, and better patient outcomes, particularly for women, children, and the disadvantaged.
These projects may be extended to other parts of Côte d’Ivoire in the future.

WBUR signs with The MassINC Polling Group for another political season
Renews local, statewide polling partnership through mid-2014 WBUR and The MassINC Polling Group (MPG) will continue their polling relationship through June of 2014, they announced today. MPG will serve as WBUR’s pollster on elections and policy issues, and MPG President Steve Koczela will provide on-air analysis of Massachusetts politics. The continued partnership will begin with polls on the Boston Mayoral Election, followed by statewide polls focusing on the 2014 Senate and Gubernatorial elections, as well as key public policy issues facing the Commonwealth.
“WBUR is delighted to continue our successful partnership with The MassINC Polling Group for the coming year,” said Charlie Kravetz, General Manager of WBUR. “This service to the community provides exceptionally high quality, non-partisan polling on political races and fundamental issues that face Massachusetts and the nation.
“As we cover the stories that shape our communities, trusted polls give us a powerful snapshot in time that helps us all understand the shifting nature of our collective views on important elections and our relationship with our government. We could not work with a better pollster than Steve Koczela and The MassINC Polling Group. Time and again, Steve and his team have proven to be accurate and insightful.”
WBUR and MPG began collaborating in 2011, with a poll showing Elizabeth Warren within single digits of Scott Brown in the race for US Senate. Since then, WBUR polls have covered congressional and statewide elections in Massachusetts as well as elections in Maine, amassing a track record of accuracy and insight that has gained wide media attention. WBUR polling has also covered the issues that matter most to Bay State residents, from health care reform, the economy and jobs and transportation funding, to the state of the middle class and religion.
WBUR’s polling and Steve Koczela’s commentary and analysis have been cited in national publications including The Boston Globe, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, and others, as well as many television, radio, and online news outlets.
“We are thrilled to continue our work with WBUR,” said Steve Koczela, President of The MassINC Polling Group. “Their commitment to serious-minded journalism and in-depth reporting is a perfect match with the way we approach public opinion polling. We are pleased to be able to work with a partner that believes in the substance of what polling adds to the news.”

from the Pioneer Press, Over here,
Gaborik surrounds himself with friends and family while enjoying a lifestyle as one of his country's biggest celebrities. He draws satisfaction knowing his parents and brother are managing the arena he built and donated to the city, allowing more kids to pursue hockey dreams. And he is happily involved with a strong-minded woman who knows how to keep her famous boyfriend's feet on the ground. No one yet is rolling red carpet over the cobblestone streets so Trencin's most celebrated son can parade Lord Stanley's trophy through this historic 15th-century city for the first time. But Gaborik, 24 and entering his sixth NHL season, has the confidence to dream big. He can envision a 50-goal season and a homecoming party unlike anything Trencin has thrown. And it gives him chills.more

Park said defenseman Zdeno Chara, signed as a free agent this summer, will help make up for some of the size lost by Thornton, without providing the points. Meanwhile, Park is impressed with new Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli. “I’ve met him, I’ve talked with him,” he said. “He’s a Harvard guy, he’s from Canada, you’ve got to like those two combinations right away. He’s got a big job ahead of him. Time will tell.” The Bruins, who start training camp in a couple of weeks, need one thing above all, Park said. “The problem they have is they have to establish a nucleus,” Park said. “They’ve signed a lot of good players, but they have yet to form a nucleus. So it’s going to be very key for them to start the season well.”more

"That day at customs, as everyone else was running around trying to find him, I just sat on the bus. I knew it wasn't a case of his being unable to find his boarding pass. I knew he was gone.'' The Russians are right to oppose the current IIHF-NHL agreement that will net their federation a paltry $200,000 for such a unique talent as Malkin. "And that figure,'' King reminds you, "is split between all the teams here. Which means $10,000 to Metallurg Magnitogorsk. A pittance, when you consider the time and money spent developing him.'' King says the ramifications of young superstars leaving goes far beyond any fee paid out.... "Teams are trying to generate sponsorship, there's an effort being made to bring in sponsors to televise games on TV. When the star players keep leaving, that makes selling yourself awfully tough.''read on (reg. may be req.)

Memo to the Russian Ice Hockey Federation: Stop crying like you're the only teams in the world whose star, players can walk out of their contracts by simply giving two weeks notice. Chris Pronger did it in Edmonton long before Evgeni Malkin ever thought of it.Shawn P. Roarke at NHL.com,
A few minutes later, I followed Yashin's path back out into the blinding sun, leaving the unique sights and sounds of the hockey rink behind, but not forgotten. A similar -- although far less photogenic -- smile was plastered to my face. For me, hockey season has begun. Not even the brutal rush-hour traffic on the Long Island Expressway, the Van Wyck Expressway, the Belt Parkway and the slog across Staten Island to the Garden State Parkway could dampen that fact.more

Luongo still feels bitter toward the Panthers, saying they made him out to ''be the bad guy'' during the past negotiating period. Florida had been trying to get Luongo to sign a long-term contract, although Luongo's agent publicly said his client only wanted a one-year deal. With Luongo facing unrestricted free agency after this coming season, the Panthers didn't want to go into another season with uncertainty and rumors swirling around their franchise goalie. On the day of the trade, however, Luongo said he told the Panthers he would sign a four-year deal with the team. According to Luongo, he wanted $1 million more over the course of the contract than was offered.read on

While Senators GM John Muckler has most of his roster in place as the Sept. 14 start of camp draws closer, sources say it's anything but completely set and he and could be making a pitch for Boston Bruins left winger P.J. Axelsson. A former teammate of Daniel Alfredsson with Frolunda during the lockout, Axelsson also played on a line with the Senators captain when Sweden won Olympic gold in Turin last February. Still, it's doubtful the Bruins will trade Axelsson -- who recently signed a three-year, $1.85 million (all figures US) deal with Boston this summer -- because he has played a big role with the club.more

Hi, I´m Julian
I am a Dutch passionate photographer
focused on travel, astro and
Photography is one of the few things where I can really relax. Away from the busy environment of studying and working. Right into nature, especially the stars where my fascination started since I was a little boy. But not only nature got my interest, also you! The smile of people. I love to socialize with others and hear their stories. During my travels or during a photoshoot I hear those stories and want to create the perfect picture for this.
In 2015 I started with photography with my phone and found out really quick that I needed a professional camera to create what I had in mind. When I received my camera, I started a course to get the know-how needed to create the photos I had in mind. The mean goal was to create something that no one else had seen. By looking different to an object or by using camera techniques I could create those photos.
But it is not only about me, it is also about you! It is OUR-View I want to put on the photos. By combining our styles and ideas we could create the perfect photo during a shoot. We can write that story.

One of the Midlands’ best-known businessman has accused a former partner in a regeneration project of “embezzling” funds designed to help the people of one of the poorest wards in the country.
Pertemps chairman Tim Watts was giving evidence at a four-week trial in the High Court in Birmingham over a £1.9 million shortfall in the funding of an ambitious project that saw the regeneration of Nechells Baths.
The £5 million plus project was completed in 2007 but Midlands Regen, a company set up by Birmingham Community Foundation, the charity behind the project, is suing former city clergyman and treasurer of Birmingham Cathedral David Collyer.
Mr Collyer was the chief fundraiser behind the project and has claimed money paid to him and his company Linton Marketing was owed in fundraising fees and the repayment of loans.
Although the charity said it sought answers over the shortfall as the trial progressed it did concede some of the 19 payments paid out to Mr Collyer or the companies he was involved that totalled £1.9 million were justified.
It agreed that evidence had now come to light which indicated credit could be given for £615,000.
Explaining the history of the foundation and the Nechells Baths project, Mr Watts, who was a trustee of it and is now its president said: “I was approached by an organisation called the Lunar Society. They had the idea of a community foundation - copying it from America.
“David Collyer and another person, Christine Kendall had had a go at setting up a Birmingham community foundation and had been unsuccessful. They believed a businessman of my standing could involve other businesspeople in the region. I willingly helped.”
Mr Watts said the organisation, which raises funds to support disadvantaged communities in the region, initially had a chequered start before taking off and establishing itself but needed to grow.
“It was acknowledged the organisation needed to create an income and David Collyer first raised the prospect of developing Nechells Baths, which could be bought from Birmingham City Council and developed, delivering an income of between £200,000 and £300,000 in rent.
“It would be free flow money to go into the greater Birmingham community.
“It was a way to increase our endowment fund and Birmingham City Council would sell us the baths for £5.”
Mr Watts explained how Mr Collyer seemed the ideal candidate to raise the funds for the project as he had already done some preliminary work on it and because he was seen by the trustees as an expert in obtaining grants.
“New lines of funding were new to all the trustees, apart from David Collyer, who said he had a working knowledge,” he added.
The project transformed the dilapidated Edwardian baths into a new community facility providing training, crèche and offices for social enterprises. It was initially expected to cost £4.135 million but ended up costing £5.3 million.
A company, Midlands Regeneration, was set up to handle grants for the project from the European Regional Development Fund, the Heritage Lottery Fund, Advantage West Midlands and other sources.
However when it also took on other projects Mr Collyer was involved in the charity was advised to set up another company Midlands Regen to handle the funding.
An obligation by the charity to cover some of the project’s costs through a parental guarantee signed as part of the funding process was highlighted by Mohammed Zaman QC for Mr Collyer.
He said this meant it could be liable for a voluntary contribution of 25 per cent of the costs – a sum in excess of £1 million.
But Mr Watts supported evidence given by fellow trustee David Bucknall that Mr Collyer pledged the project could be delivered “debt free” at no cost to the charity.
“He said he had found the funds and it was a prepackaged, turn-key, debt-free project,” said Mr Watts.
“We trusted him and his team. It was the Reverend David Collyer who brought it to us, pursued it over several meetings with us and we voted on it unanimously.”
Mr Watts said he was aware that Mr Collyer and Linton Marketing would be entitled to a fee of ten per cent of the total funds raised, which it was thought would be around £470,000 by the time costs had increased and accepted Mr Collyer had made a £150,000 loan from his “life savings” which Mr Watts said he himself personally reimbursed.

The demise of the coal mining industry here has not in recent elections affected Labourís hold on this constituency: some individual wards returned Labour candidates with a 90% or greater share of the vote.
The constituency is tucked away in the far north west corner of West Yorkshire, and its two eponymous towns - combined with Knottingly - have provided Labour with an historically loyal seat. Castleford, with 30,000 voters, holds the largest influence in the constituency, and in each of its three wards, Labour received over 80% of the vote even in May 1992 - when the party was reeling from its fourth general election defeat.
Despite the disappearance of coalfields from the heavily industrial landscape, unemployment has been kept in check in Pontefract and Castleford by massive power stations such as Ferrybridge, near Knottingly, which tap water from the two great local rivers - the Aire and the Ouse. Despite the rise of the energy industry in this area, many workers are only partly-skilled and correspondingly lowly-paid.

There are two top concerns on the minds of Pine Valley patients that intend to attempt dental implants: how much it sets you back and just how scary is it? Knowing the price is prior to knowing if the pain is bearable. If one can not find an allocate tooth implants, then there will certainly be no point of thinking about just how unpleasant this could be.
Types of Pine Valley Tooth Implant Procedures
The dental health, the kind of teeth, the specialists to do the treatment and also the location of the facility all go together to figure out the dollars to pour for the treatment. There isn’t really no means determine the amount till the appointment. In the examination, the oral expert, with an x-ray and also series of other tests will figure out the course of the surgical procedure as well as can give an estimate to his client.
The next point is to identify where to find financial aid and also make a decision where to do the oral implant procedure. There are 2 important points to examine.
A single tooth can range from $800 – 8000 United States dollars in Pine Valley CA. Unlike many tooth healing treatments, dental implants are a means too expensive. Likewise, the gap in between the varieties of price is wide.
Two people who pay in different dollars might get similar outcome- natural looking set of teeth. This may appear unjust but it is the fact in this oral procedure. The reasons behind this are the elements that add to the final price.
Dental Health in Pine Valley CA
The best point to establish dental health and wellness is the amount of bone offered for the area of the procedure. There need to suffice bone and also healthy and balanced cells surrounding the place where the implant will be placed. There are other treatments to counter the lack thereof if there is none.
Pine Valley Implant Center
As opposed to common dentistry precedures, in tooth implants, there is the demand for other dental experts other than your dental expert. While some dental practitioners want to do this treatment alone, the majority of them call for a minimum of a periodontist, a prosthodontists or a dental specialist in order to help them make the treatment effective. As the numbers of specialists associate with the procedure raises, the opportunity of paying greater dental implant rates becomes extra obvious.
Cost for Bone Grafting Pine Valley California
The majority of the moment, the periodontal expert will ask the individual to undergo bone grafting. In this treatment, the missing out on bone will be changed either by artificial or material from person’s very own body. Usually, your Pine Valley Periodontist will execute this operation, which obviously will enhance the price of dental implants.
- Number and also Location of Teeth the area where the dental implant procedure will certainly be done will in some ways dictate the price. The area near the jaw is typically more sensitive; therefore, the entire treatment will be harder compared with those positioned in the front line. Experts bill larger in these locations.

Poor families will ‘gain nothing’ from personal allowance increase
The report, which looked at the impact of tax changes over the course of this parliament, found that by the time of the next election, low-paid workers will be losing up to four times more per year from the government’s increase in VAT than they will gain from the raising of the personal tax allowance to £10,000.
It showed that a household with an average weekly income of £195.92 – the lowest income band for working people – will gain £1.09 a week from the above inflation rises in the personal allowance by 2015. However, this same family will lose £4.26 a week through the increase in VAT, which went up from 17.5 to 20% in January 2011, leaving them with a total annual loss of £164.84 as a result of the government’s tax policy.
The findings are contrary to ministers’ claims that raising the personal allowance to £10,000 would put ‘more money in the pockets of people who need it’, as the very poorest households will feel the biggest pinch, the TUC said.
Families at the very bottom of the income scale (on average, £53.81 a week) will suffer a 6.3% drop in their overall income as a result of the VAT rise, personal allowance increase and other minor tax changes.
The research found that lone parents will lose nearly £380 a year under the Government’s tax changes. The VAT rise will cost them an average of £10.20 a week, compared to a far smaller weekly benefit of £2.96 from the personal allowance and other changes.
Couples with children are also significant losers, gaining an average of £4.47 a week from the increased personal allowance – but losing £9.89 from higher VAT.
The analysis also shows how the personal allowance, which under current policy allows individuals to receive the first £9,440 of their income free of tax, will benefit higher-income households more than those with lower incomes.
People near the top of the income scale (£537.09 a week) will get £350 extra a year, while the bottom fifth of households will see increases of less than £60, which will be far outweighed by VAT rises.
TUC General Secretary Frances O’Grady said: “Contrary to ministers’ claims, the biggest losers from the government’s tax policies are the poorest households.
“It is a myth to say that raising the personal allowance will benefit those worse off in society. Low-income families will gain practically nothing from the increase in the personal allowance but will continue to lose significantly from the rise in VAT – in some cases over six per cent of their income.
“Those who will fare best through the new personal tax allowance are richer households, although even they too lose out overall as a result of the VAT rise.
“If the Chancellor really wants to make a difference to family budgets he should look at reversing his VAT hike and cuts to vital tax credits and benefits.”

Paolo Veronese (real name Paolo Cagliari) - a native of Italy, a bright representative of the late Renaissance. Gabriele and Katerina, he was the fifth son.
The Paolo family hails from Lombardy, but owing to the service of the father and grandfather of the future artist, he entered Verona, where the family remained. Paolo studied with the architect Michele San Michele, but he did not like this profession. Without thinking twice, he went to the artist Antonio Badile, who was also his uncle.
By the age of 25, Veronese got to his feet and took up monumental painting. He was a master of composition and an unsurpassed colorist. Fame for the budding artist came in 1553. He was invited to work on the decoration of the Doge's Palace in Venice. And after painting the ceiling in the library of San Marco, his fate was determined - from that moment until the end of his days, Veronese worked in the genre of monumental and decorative painting.
Until 1555, the artist lived in his native Verona, and then again received an order in Venice. This time he began to paint the church of St. Sebastian. In the late 50s, Veronese tried to paint portraits, and this venture was successful.
Veronese's activity in Venice made an extraordinary sensation; he painted murals, temples, churches, painted portraits. Almost the entire period of his work was held in Venice. His works have been impressive, impressive and will certainly impress more than one generation.
In 1560, in Rome, Veronese became acquainted with the works of Michelangelo and Raphael.
In 1566, Paolo Veronese married the daughter of his uncle and teacher Antonio Badile. He became a caring and loving father for his 4 children. By the way, Paolo named one of his sons in honor of his father Gabriel.
In the 80s, the artist began to lose his former strength. In dreams of rest, in 1583, Veronese acquires an estate where he settles with his wife and children. And after 5 years, he gets pneumonia and dies. Paolo Veronese buried in the church of San Sebastiano.
Paolo Veronese lived exactly 60 years. He spent most of his life far from home in Venice, where he died. But the artist always remembered his homeland. These memories were the source of his inspiration.
After Veronese’s death, his sons formed a community of “followers of Paolo” and released their paintings under this name. But, compared with their father, they were not so talented and their creations did not bring any success.

After the crash: 'Are we dead?'
It had been a good day for Jonathan Siegel and his children.
They were heading home from a ski trip and had less than a mile to go on Pleasant Street before the turn for their street.
Rachel, a high school senior, had called her boyfriend to let him know she'd see him in 10 minutes. Ten-year-old Zack was glad there would be time to catch part of the Super Bowl. Even if the Patriots weren't in it, he'd hoped to watch.
At about 7:15 p.m., on Feb. 1, 2009, Deanna Michaelson, Siegel's wife, got the knock on the door.
"Hello. Your family has been in an accident," she recalled being told.
"The last thing I remember was the car changing lanes," said Siegel. The Jeep Liberty driven by Christen Lang of Marlborough "was in the other lane. At the last second, she made a lane change. She was coming right toward me. There was no time to react."
Fifteen months later, Siegel sat next to his son in their Framingham home and thought back to the crash caused by a woman police say had a blood-alcohol level more than twice the legal limit to drive.
The family was left with serious injuries that continue to heal, but there's little doubt in Siegel's mind the outcome would have been worse if they hadn't been wearing their seat belts.
"Rachel said, 'Are we dead?' I said, 'We're talking. We're not dead.' "
"They had to use the Jaws of Life to get Rachel out," said Michaelson. Like her father, Rachel's injuries included a broken femur. She was airlifted to Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, while Zach and Jonathan were taken by ambulance to UMass Medical Center in Worcester.
With a titanium rod in his leg, a fractured vertebra, concussion and ankle injury, "I was quite the mess when I came home," Siegel said.
Rachel, who, like her father, hit the car's front console when Lang's SUV hit theirs, "also has a titanium rod" in her leg.
Zack, who was in the back seat, suffered a head injury which was akin to shaken baby syndrome, said his mother. He "was cross-eyed for a few months" and when the young baseball player stepped up to bat, "he couldn't tell what ball to hit for awhile.
"They looked at Zack for seat belt injury. He had bruises, but the consensus was it would have been a lot worse without" a seat belt, said Michaelson.
"Looking at that accident and seeing he walked out..." Siegel said with a nod toward his son.
"A seat belt can't save you all the time," said Erik Joudrey, who was in the backseat when the Oldsmobile Cutlass driven by 21-year-old Matthew Markham smashed into a tree in Bellingham on April 9, 2009.
"All three of us were wearing seat belts," but it wasn't enough to save front-seat passenger Sean Whalen, who was killed in the crash. "The impact of the vehicle was so hard, it crushed him," Joudrey said in a recent interview.
Even so, Joudrey said he's more likely to wear a seat belt now than before the crash that claimed the life of his close friend.
"I made a promise to my girlfriend I'd always wear one," said the 25-year-old Bellingham man. "Maybe wearing a seat belt saved me."
Rachel Siegel's boyfriend didn't always wear a seat belt, but "he always does now," said Michaelson. He recently bought a vintage Mustang, and "the first thing he told me was, 'It has seat belts,' " Michaelson said.
"If you don't use the seat belt, you take the chance of being ejected from the motor vehicle," said Ashland Fire Lt. David Iarussi, who has responded to "many accidents over the years.
"The chances of someone getting ejected are greatly reduced just by that one little click."
"To me, it was a no-brainer," said Siegel. "It's easy enough to put on a seat belt."

The Colts are hoping an old friend can help them recapture their old form.
Sputtering at .500 but only a game out of first place in the AFC South, Indianapolis signed RB Dominic Rhodes on Tuesday for his third stint with the team.
Rhodes last played in the NFL in 2008 (with the Colts) but was an important cog in Indianapolis' march to the 2006 title. He is intimately familiar with the offensive system and could serve as a reliable outlet for struggling QB Peyton Manning. Rhodes caught a career-best 45 passes in 2008.
He played for the Horseshoes from 2001-06 as an undrafted free agent before signing with the Raiders in 2007. Rhodes has 3,114 career rushing yards, all but 302 with Indianapolis.
The Colts rank first in the NFL in passing offense, but they are dead last running the ball, partially because veteran RB Joseph Addai has missed the last six games with a nerve injury in his shoulder.
Addai is still limited in practice as the Colts ready for their Thursday night matchup with the Titans. Mike Hart (ankle) has not practiced at all this week. Second-year RB Donald Brown practiced fully Tuesday after sitting Monday with his own ankle issue, but he seems the likely starter in Nashville.
Indianapolis put CB Jerraud Powers (arm) on injured reserve to make room for Rhodes.

Steve Cunningham has endured much during half a lifetime spent in boxing. He’s been overlooked and underpaid, on the wrong end of bad decisions and ignored when he should have been celebrated.
But he always persevered and soldiered on because, well, that’s what he was taught to do while he was in the Navy.
When things get tough, Cunningham’s instinct is to fight. And when things get tougher, he fights harder.
But as Cunningham and his wife, Livvy, were speaking to their daughter’s doctor in Philadelphia last summer, he felt overwhelmed, as if he’d been hit by the greatest body shot ever thrown.
Kennedy Cunningham was born in 2005 with hypoplastic left heart syndrome. It is an often fatal birth defect in which the left side of the heart can’t pump enough blood.
She had surgery when she was a day old, and doctors warned Steve and Livvy that she would likely never leave the hospital.
Heroic measures had been performed throughout Kennedy’s life to save her. But as Steve and Livvy spoke to her doctor last year in Philadelphia, the words shook them to their very core.
“No parent is ever ready to bury their child,” Steve Cunningham says in a clear, strong voice. “I was listening and all I heard was, ‘Make her as comfortable as possible,’ and I was like, ‘No. No.’ Basically, the message was that everything that could be done, was done. Just wait for her to go, essentially.”
The fighter in Cunningham could never accept that. So, he took his family and traveled to the other side of the state in search of a miracle. He had no plans to wait for Kennedy to die.
And at Children’s Hospital in Pittsburgh, doctors were willing to give it another shot. This, clearly, was a life worth saving.
The risks were enormous. The doctors planned to put Kennedy on the list for a heart transplant. They were clear with Steve and Livvy that even if a donor heart were found, Kennedy wasn’t out of the woods. She could die during surgery.
But there was really no other alternative.
“We had to take that chance and put our faith in the Lord,” Cunningham said.
On Dec. 5, Kennedy Cunningham received a new heart. And on Friday at the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J., she’ll be around to see her father as he meets Antonio Tarver in a heavyweight bout that will be televised live on Spike.
The good thing, from Steve Cunningham’s perspective, is that Kennedy is so, well, normal these days.
“She’s just another 9-year-old little girl,” he says.
And that, after all they have been through, is all that Steve and Livvy ever wanted, to see their daughter have the same chance at life as all of the other children, for their daughter to live long enough to fulfill her dreams and aspirations.
Cunningham is 39, old for a fighter and particularly for one who hopes to get a shot at the title.
But he’s the younger fighter by a long shot in this fight. He was a 19-year-old in the Navy in 1996 when he made an effort to see who was the light heavyweight representing the U.S. in boxing at the Atlanta Olympics. Cunningham was a light heavyweight at the time and had just taken up boxing, and was interested to see what the top U.S. amateur was like.
It was Antonio Tarver.
Cunningham let out a belly laugh when asked if he ever thought he’d be fighting someone who was born, as Tarver, 46, was, when Lyndon Baines Johnson was still the president of the United States.
“Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I’d be fighting Antonio Tarver at any point in my career,” he said.
Cunningham has twice held the IBF cruiserweight title and would like to add a heavyweight strap before he’s through. That’s a tall order, considering the champions, Wladimir Klitschko and Deontay Wilder, are far bigger than he is.
Cunningham is also just 3-3 in his last six fights and has been down four times in those bouts.
The odds against him, to be honest, are long.
But they’re not as long as they were against Kennedy ever leaving a hospital. Or ever seeing her ninth birthday.
She’s done both. And her father believes that he, too, can shock the world.
“It doesn’t matter what other people think,” he said. “I’m the one in there fighting. It matters what I think, and I think I can do it, so I’m not going to give up just because I might be a long shot. I’m not a quitter.”
Fortunately, no one in the Cunningham family is. And that’s why this story will have a happy ending no matter how Cunningham fares in the ring on Friday against Tarver.
He’s already a winner many times over.

Many diverse countries make up what is known as Europe. A European cruise is the quintessential way to see it all, from the cobblestone streets of old London to the ancient stones of Spain, and the availability of cruise packages can help you tailor your vacation to exactly what you want to see.
There are so many regions to explore that there are different types of European cruise experiences. A European cruise of the Baltic Sea will take you to the countries of Scandanavia- Norway, Sweden, and Finland. If you are interested in visiting St. Petersburg, Russia, including it on you itinerary only makes sense since it is nearby and many typical and cheap European cruise lines do offer that option.
The icy northern seas are home to legends of Viking and Valkyries, and the traditions that still live here today are as rich as any other. The sunlit mountain valleys and the rosy faces of the local population will welcome you to a unique experience. The old world charm of Copenhagen, Denmark will cater to your simpler tastes.
On your European cruise travel vacation, you can take a trip back in time on when you visit Tivoli Garden, which was like the father of all amusement parks. You can spend an entire day here walking through its lovely garden setting enjoying its puppet shows, games of chance, amusement rides and delicious restaurants. Stockholm, Sweden is another port city that has not lost its traditional appeal either. Be sure to visit the Vasa Museum, home to the warship that sunk itself due to his heavy armament.
Enjoy some real Danish pastries in Helinski, Finland before you set off for St. Petersburg, Russia. Centuries of Czarist rule have made an indelible impression upon the local architecture. Also known as the " Venice of the North" this city is filled with cathedrals and other enormous monuments of the imperial rule that lasted for hundreds of years.
A Western European tour is another adventure entirely. If you have never cruised before, you will find the ports of Dover, England and Dublin, Ireland welcoming and easy to enjoy, as English is widely spoken here.
A number of European countries also border the Mediterranean which is fortunate for your European cruise travel vacation. You can choose an Eastern or a Western Europe an itinerary. In the west are Spain, France, Portugal, and Italy as well as some islands in the Mediterranean. Here, the waters are a deep blue and the weather is warmer. Centuries foreign rule and influence have made their impression on all of these countries. The brilliance of the antique sunlit stone plazas of Portugal, in the colorful ancient Roman mosaics of Italy, and the Moorish architecture of Spain all are testament to the vibrancy of the cultures that continue to influence the modern European way of life. In the east are the countries of the Eastern Mediterranean such as Greece, some of which, like Turkey, are finding their way into the EU. Europe ans of all walks of life, from all countries take pride in the bounty of their lands.

Crystal watched my dog Chewy for a week for me in her teens. She really loved that dog. When I got her back, the dog missed her!
Ready to love on your fur babies!!
Growing up, I always had cats. I even have my own (very recently relocated here so my cat isn’t with me!!). But, when it came down to watching dogs, I was always the person my family called on to baby sit them while they were out of town. Also, I had a roommate who had taken in an abused Dachshund. She was rarely home to take care of the sweet girl, so I was ...
What Crystal would like to know about your dog
No breed preferences. I would love the time to just hang out with a dog with the owners there so that can get used to me first! Also would love to know If they are jumpy dogs. Don’t want to do anything to frighten them.

A Broken Lizard Bummer
Now Playing: KING KONG VS. GODZILLA
I had high hopes for THE DUKES OF HAZZARD, the big-budget remake of the rural hit TV series, considering the participation of director Jay Chandrasekhar and his Broken Lizard cohorts. I think their movie SUPER TROOPERS, which came out in early 2002, is one of the best comedies of the decade, a rollicking, goodnatured slacker comedy obviously influenced by ANIMAL HOUSE. Unfortunately, some bad casting and a reliance on JACKASS-styled slapstick really sink DUKES.
Them Duke boys, Luke (Johnny Knoxville) and Bo (Seann William Scott), run into big trouble when Hazzard County dictator Boss Hogg (Burt Reynolds) frames them for moonshining and steals their farmland so he can strip-mine it. The plot could have been ripped straight from the TV show--which is fine; it only needs to be strong enough to support the car chases and genial humor--but the crass, cynical humor certainly isn’t. I don’t want to overstate the quality of the ‘70s television series, but at least its lead characters were intelligent, good-hearted guys who loved their family and friends. That isn’t the case in this movie, where Cooter (David Koechner) tries to solicit a hummer from Duke cousin Daisy (Jessica Simpson, who is terrible) as payment for rebuilding their racecar, a ’69 Dodge Charger nicknamed General Lee.
Besides Kevin Heffernan, who has some fun as a redneck pal of the Dukes, the other members of Broken Lizard are relegated to barely-there cameos, including a return of two Super Troopers that is kinda fun, but has nothing to do with the story and feels more obtrusive than entertaining. Only Chandrasekhar as director appears in the movie's titles as editor, writer or producer, something in which they were involved in their previous films, although interviews indicate that they may have polished or even heavily rewritten the screenplay. They don't appear to have much fondness for the source material, turning Bo and Luke Duke into sex-crazed morons with a penchant for causing each other pain and embarassment. I watched the unrated DVD, which has way too many naked breasts, sex jokes and f-bombs for a movie about the Dukes of Hazzard County. M.C. Gainey is Sheriff Rosco, downgraded from imbecile to evil minion of Boss Hogg, and Willie Nelson is a dope-smoking, sex-minded Uncle Jesse.
Broken Lizard's first feature was shot on the campus of their alma mater, Colgate University, around 1995-96. For years only seen on campuses and at festival screenings, PUDDLE CRUISER (I don’t know what the title means) finally hit DVD recently with misleading cover art meant to resemble an idiotic T&A comedy. It isn’t, but it’s not quite as inspired as SUPER TROOPERS or as absurd as their next movie, CLUB DREAD.
PUDDLE CRUISER is a romantic comedy where the least interesting aspect is the romance. The best parts of the film occur when two or more of the Broken Lizard guys are onscreen, but unfortunately the film revolves around the efforts of one of them, Felix (Steve Lemme), to date a girl whose boyfriend plays rugby at a different university. Chandrasekhar was still polishing his directing skills, as CRUISER's pacing is too slack and the banter among the actors isn't snappy enough, but there remains enough silliness and good gags to make the movie a decent rental.
I got out more than I expected to this weekend, considering how cold it has been. It's 5 degrees as I write this, but I still went over to Chicken's to watch the Bears beat Atlanta on ESPN this evening. The Bears keep winning--gotta give 'em credit--but they sure are getting plenty of breaks. Their defense is excellent, of course, but I don't think it takes much to stop Michael Vick, who's a very overrated QB, IMO. He has a strong arm and he can scramble, but so far he hasn't shown me that he's a winner.
More importantly, my Bengals clinched the AFC North today, their first division title since 1990, which was also the last year they were in the Super Bowl. They're 0-2 in Super Bowls. Could this be their year? Well, it looks like the Colts (who took their first loss today) are the front-runners, but I can dream, eh?
Roger and Eric had a kickass party on Saturday. I got there around 4:30 and didn't expect to stay too long, but I didn't leave until around 11:00. Besides one drunken idiotic gay guy who keeps crying, falling down and sitting on my lap, there were a lot of cool people there and plenty of good food and drinks. It was quite a festive Christmas party, but I think the key was the toilet seat cover, which lights up an image of Santa and his reindeer. I can honestly say I've never seen anything like it.
Here's what has played on iTunes since I started writing:
"Dance On"--The Shadows

When to Call for Air Conditioner Repair
Corbett residents know how high temperatures can get during summer. And the last thing you need is for your AC to give up when you need it most.
Fortunately, sudden air conditioner failure is rare; most systems give off warning signs that things aren’t right, allowing you to call a professional for a repair or tune-up before it breaks down.
Here are the most common signs your AC is heading towards failure.
The Air Isn’t as Cold as You’re Used To
If you find you’re fidgeting with the thermostat more often to get the cool temperatures you’re used to, it means there’s a problem. Sometimes, low refrigerant levels are to blame, or it could be the machinery inside the system that’s the problem. Calling a professional is the quickest way to diagnose the issue and fix it to restore comfort.
Higher Energy Bills
A sudden unexplained increase in your energy bills could mean your AC isn’t running as efficiently as it should. When efficiency fails, your system works harder to do its job, which not only causes energy bills to spike but puts excessive wear and tear on the machinery.
An odd moisture leak around your air conditioner is usually caused by condensation, a clogged drain tube, or a refrigerant leak.
When your air conditioner makes odd noises like rattling, squealing, or grinding when starting up or running, it could be anything from worn-out bearings or a loose part. It’s crucial you call a professional for an inspection as soon as possible, or you risk damage that’s expensive to repair.
Our AC Maintenance Services
The best way to stop air conditioner problems is to prevent them.
Most experts recommend a professional tune-up once a year to keep your air conditioner running efficiently and to fix minor problems before they escalate.
Routine AC maintenance is highly affordable compared to fixing a system that’s broken down or replacing it. Also, regular maintenance maximizes your system’s efficiency, decreasing the money spent on monthly energy expenses.
When you hire Gresham Heating and Air Conditioning, we provide comprehensive air conditioner maintenance that includes:
- A complete system inspection and tune up
- Checking refrigerant levels
- Parts inspection including evaporator coils, condenser coils, and the compressor
- Checking the drain line, including the condensate drain and the tray
- Electrical component inspection, including wires and circuits
Our air conditioner maintenance service is an inexpensive and effective way to ensure your system runs perfectly year after year.
Before calling another AC contractor, read our customer reviews, then contact us to book an appointment.

Do cities in Germany have anything in common with cities in other parts of the world, and most importantly, do large cities in Germany have an advantage over small ones? Let's look at the pros and cons!
Small town or big city in Germany - where is the best place to live?
When moving to a new country, foreigners are often guided by the rule "the bigger the city, the better". and dream of living in Berlin, Munich or Hamburg. Smaller towns or even villages are often not taken into consideration. This is because people draw parallels with living conditions in such places in their home country. But do small German towns have anything in common with villages in India, the Philippines or anywhere in Sub-Saharan Africa or Latin America? Are there any advantages of small towns in Germany compared to big cities? Let's look at the pros and cons together!
Is the big city a sea of opportunities or a sea of stress?
Germany is considered one of the most densely populated countries in Europe and has four major metropolises. The so-called megacities are the cities with more than a million inhabitants: Berlin, Munich, Cologne and Hamburg. There are also many cities in Germany with less than a million inhabitants, which are also quite large and attractive.
These cities offer many opportunities for self-fulfilment and earning for a living, as they are where there are more job opportunities for job seekers. Megacities are ideal for an active cultural life and entertainment, as it is here that you can find restaurants to suit all tastes, plenty of shops, museums, exhibitions, concerts and festivals. The bigger cities have more attractions and monuments to draw tourists in.
However, living in a big city does have its drawbacks. The main disadvantages are prices, from accommodation, food and transport to various services, such as hairdressing salons. Renting accommodation in a big city can be two or even three times more expensive than in a smaller city. The bigger the city, the more competition for accommodation will also be stressful.
An obvious problem with megacities is also the poor ecology. The more population in a city, the more traffic and therefore the lower the air quality.
By the way, the tourists: as there are quite a few of them in big cities all year round, there are often long queues in public places, subways, supermarket ticket counters, which should be kept in mind when planning your time.
Is a small town a backwater or an advantage?
When foreigners move to Germany, it turns out that in addition to Berlin and Munich, there is a very different Germany, which usually has few tourists, but many advantages of its own.
Localities with more than 10 thousand people are already considered a city, but in the village may live 5 thousand people or even less. By the way, all big cities are surrounded by such villages. These areas are usually inhabited by wealthy families who have already made a career and prefer not to be chased by the frenetic pace of the big city. There are also many young couples who already have children. They prefer to live in the countryside because they believe it is better for their children and family life in general.
In terms of infrastructure, many small towns and villages are not far behind metropolitan areas. They offer all kinds of supermarkets, petrol stations, cafes and restaurants, as well as schools and kindergartens. The transport system is also well developed - you can get around by bus or by train, which has regular timetables. It takes 15 to 20 minutes by car to get to the city and about 30 to 40 minutes to the larger town, so if there is a shortage of entertainment, it can be reached relatively quickly.
One of the biggest advantages is nature outside the city - there is a lot more greenery as well as fields and forests where you can walk at your leisure and enjoy the peace and quiet. Roads are paved or cobbled almost everywhere, which is the main difference between German villages and villages in other parts of te world.
The disadvantages of living in the countryside are that you need a car, as transport is not as frequent in small towns as in the city, especially in the evenings and at weekends.
It is up to each individual to decide where best to live based on his or her abilities and preferences. The most important thing in this matter is to study the locality and objectively assess the pros and cons, rather than being guided by stereotypes that can be confusing. It is then that the risk of making a mistake about where to live is minimised and the choice is made correctly.

One of the first places of natural beauty that I described in this newspaper – known in those days as the Colony Reporter – was La Campana, a small mountain located 130 kilometers southwest of Guadalajara on the road to Mascota.
The local people only call it The Bell because it seems to have that shape when viewed from the road at a spot signposted Puerto la Campana.
We were looking for a nice place to camp in the area and followed a dirt road half a kilometer from Puerto La Campana to a flat shady area next to a bubbling brook: the ideal campsite. The next morning, after a delicious cup of sock juice – made with a genuine French coffee sock, mind you – we crossed the stream and headed southwest toward the mountain, passing a huge rock which looked like a giant bowling ball that had rolled down from the mountaintop.
We traversed a meadow filled with wildflowers, not to mention the exotic orchids in the tree branches, and after only 200 meters, we were just approaching the bare, rocky base of La Campana when out of the brush shot a deer which ran right across our path.
That in itself would have made my day, but after taking only 20 paces up the smooth, steep slope, we spotted the first of La Campana’s Great Stone Waves, which as I described in that article of yesteryear, “looked like they had been sculpted by Antonio Gaudí or Salvador Dalí. Who else would put frozen waves of rock on top of a mountain?”
Every side of La Campana is covered with these strange, graceful formations and we were soon calling it The Psychedelic Bell. Naturally, as the years passed, I have wondered whether those formations were still as pristine and free of graffiti as they were the first day we topped the mountain (2,018 meters above sea level) and gazed upon the magnificent scenery all around us: the hills of Talpa and Mascota.
A few years ago I was lucky enough to bump into the man who owns La Campana, Tino López. He told us that he welcomes visitors: “I live close by. Just shout my name when you get here and I’ll be happy to give you a tour of the mountain – in English!”
Tino showed us a short and easy route from where you park your car to the base of the mountain. You can see it on Wikiloc.com if you search for “La Campana Mascota Jalisco Mexico.”
I recently revisited La Campana and found it just as charming, clean and pristine as it was three decades ago. It was well cared for, not only by Tino López but also the rangers of CONAFOR, the National Forestry Commission, whose local headquarters are located only a few meters from the base of La Campana.
If you want to visit the Psychedelic Bell, note that this is one mountain where sure footing is a must. Here you will find no guards and no guardrails, so it’s not a place to bring children ... but it is certainly worth seeing! For more on La Campana, take a look at Chapter 6 of “Outdoors in Western Mexico.”
How to get there
Just ask Google Maps to take you to “La Campana, Atenguillo, Jalisco.” Upon arriving here, you will see a sign saying Puerto La Campana. Continue past the sign about 300 meters and make a very sharp right turn onto an easy-to-miss dirt road. A few meters from the highway you can park in front of an iron gate (normally left open). Now just walk past the gate and look on your right for the start of the trail. Driving time from Guadalajara is about two hours. Make that three from Ajijic.

FREEDOM PLAINS – Two evenly matched teams met for the Class AA Sectional Championship at Arlington High School Sunday morning, and to emphasize just how evenly matched Arlington and North Rockland are, both teams came in undefeated, both teams played to a 2-2 OT tie in the regular season and both played to another overtime on this day before Arlington came out victorious with a 3-1 win.
“We knew they weren’t going to back down,” said Arlington senior midfielder Kendall Feighan, “They played us to overtime last time and we knew we just had to score first”.
The games started out with a scoreless first half but with several close calls for goals. Both Cassie Coster and Nicole Solicito came up with multiple dramatic saves in the first half. “We pumped Cassie up and told her she was going to have to have some pretty big saves”, said Arlington head coach Kelley Hand, “And she really did. I’m so happy for her”.
In the second half, Arlington’s Kendall Feighan backed up her thought and found the back of the net when Solicito came out for the block and left Feighan with an unattended goal for the first score of the game.
With a little more than nine minutes remaining in regulation, Arlington got called for a penalty, resulting in a direct kick for North Rockland’s Jenna MacMillian. MacMillian drilled it just below the cross bar to tie the game at 1-1.
The game was forced to overtime with two 10 minute halves, tied at 1-1.
In the first 10 minutes, Kelly Coppola received a pass just right of the goal and when Solicito came out to defend, Coppola slipped it by her to the far post, making it a 2-1 game. In the second OT, Sofia Germano made the most of a ball that came loose from a group of offensive and defensive players and drilled it to the back of the net for a 3-1 Arlington win.
This is the third year in a row that the Admirals girls soccer team has won the Sectional Championship. Arlington will face Section 9 winner Monroe-Woodbury in the first round of the Regionals on Tuesday at Arlington High School. Arlington beat MW earlier in the season 3-1 back on September 15th.
