Where do these people come from?

I was instantly and with absolutely no verbal warning whatsoever attacked from behind and thrown to the ground. I received wounds to chin and arm. The impact put a new casing crack on my helmet. My glasses were thrown off by the impact and bounced several feet away. The bicycle continued to roll forwards a few feet, coming to a stop in the center of the road. (A gold van would later have to stop, because the bike was crumpled in the middle of the one lane road.) Officer Wingate then came up behind me and jerked me up into a standing position. I then heard him yell an order to Officer Bryant- 'Shoot him!'. Officer Bryant then shot me with the taser.

Now, here was the coat again. This woman [Nelson]-- a big woman, about 5 feet 10, maybe 150 pounds -- had to be the person who had put her through six months of hell and cost her $30,000 in lost business as she tried to untangle the never-ending mess with banks and credit agencies.

...

When Nelson got up to leave, Lodrick, who is 5 feet 2 and 110 pounds but comes from what she calls "a fighting family," made an instant decision. First she called 911. Then she followed Nelson down Market Street.

The foot chase was on.

This site seems like one to keep an eye on. They link to a freebie each day. Today's freebie is Wondershare DemoCreator, a program for creating flash demos from content on your PC.

They have a sister site where they offer free games.

Why would Microsoft put out a new tool that can't be used with the tablet PC TIP?

Windows Live Writer apparently uses custom edit controls that don't work with the TIP.

WHY?

As it turns out, if Susan and I had stayed until the end of the reception we'd have been there until about 5pm.

We had to get on a boat for Majagua at 8am so we would have been majorly tired, but wheee!
