    Predatory Bird Alert!

    A friend of mine lives in West Chicago, IL in very wooded area. A couple of years a go, they got a toy chihuahua. My friend's wife took the dog out for a nighttime potty break before bed. As she's watching the dog do her thing, an owl came out of the darkness, grabbed the dog, and started...

    Trek bikes

    I bought a 5900 in 2004 and I bought my wife (then fiancee) a Project 1 5200 at the same time as an engagement gift. I really liked the 5900 - it was stiff and light. I recently sold it as I had too many bikes in the stable and I needed the money. I would buy a Madone in a heart beat if I...

    Lemond/Trek new thread

    And yet, as reported in the NY Daily News on Friday, December 4, the judge wrote "A jury could reasonably infer, depending on how the evidence unfolds at trial, that the LeMond brand's lack of growth was caused by LeMond's statements," Kyle wrote, adding that "there is a genuine issue of...

    500,000 euro = 736,400 U.S. dollars as of today, 31 October. Still, not a bad chunk of change.

    Injuries etc

    My wife calls it "paying the skin tax" and usually she's not very pleased about it, althought she brags about it all the time.

    certain area goes numb.

    Agreed. This happened to me a few times when I first got into road cycling. After buying quality cycling shorts and getting the Selle Italia Flight Gel Flow saddle for all my bikes, I no longer have this issue.

    More on the Betsy Andreu & Lance. Now with Sally Jenkins

    https://www.revisor.leg.state.mn.us/statutes/?id=626A.02&year=2004 After an admittedly quick review of the 2004 statute, it doesn't seem to be much different from 2008.

    Then Dr. Nichols lied in his affadavit, as he stated he began Armstrong's chemotherapy on the day of the alleged confession. Also, the alleged confession took place in a room at the Indiana University Medical Center. It is my understanding, Armstrong went to the Indiana University Medical Center...

    More on the Betsy Andreu & Lance. Now with Sally Jenkins

    Thanks for providing the link. I wish I could read the entire affadavit or testimony instead of just bits and pieces. I'm wondering if Dr. Nichols gives reasons as to why it would be unusual to ask unless, and I'm speculating here, the possible link between PEDs and testicular cancer were not...

    More on the Betsy Andreu & Lance. Now with Sally Jenkins

    In jest, huh... Agreed - asking Lance if he had used PEDs was a very reasonable question for an athlete with Cancer. Dr. Nichols submitted an affadavit. In the affadavit, Dr. Nichols stated "Lance Armstrong never admitted, suggested or indicated that he has ever taken performance-enhancing...

    More on the Betsy Andreu & Lance. Now with Sally Jenkins

    If there are any legal types on this board, please explain to me how someone who is testifying can submit evidence. Is that possible during a civil trial? I thought only the lawyers can submit evidence. Second - how is it possible Greg Lemond was not prosecuted for taping his conversation...

    More on the Betsy Andreu & Lance. Now with Sally Jenkins

    In your post, you stated "He also happens to be a doctor who never asks his patients what medications or drugs his patients are using." I asked you to post links to either a legal document or a medical journal (or document) that corroborates your statement. So, either post said links or...
