  .

  or do they only help their own members ?.

  is there anything in their publications that seems to cast a negative view on feeding the poor ?.

  we bees leave for our trip this afternoon - a river cruise from budapest to the black sea.

  everyone on the ship is a tandem cycling couple.

  we will visit hungary, serbia, moldav, romania, austria, germany and croatia.. it will be a nice break from politics and the world news since we don't watch much tv on these trips.. hold down the fort - see you in a couple of weeks!.

  Congratulations to Bradley Wiggins!

  Now there's only six days until the Olympic road race. There's not much time for rest and recovery after a long July in France before racing on home ground.

  FOURTEEN DEAD IN DENVER SHOOTING !

  by Phizzy in

  more than one gunman seems to be involved in this terrible act.

  families were attending mid-night showings of the dark knight movie.. the media should not give publicity tothe names of the perpetrators, they often crave the fame.

  give them that fame and others will crave it too.. my thoughts are with the families of all that are affected, a horrific and pointless act that will bring so much pain and sorrow.. edited to say, seems as though it was a lone gunman..

  Well done indeed! Wiggins' domination of this year's tour is reminiscent of Bernard Hinault in his prime. It will be a well-deserved win!

  Does anybody know if Colorado is a death penalty state?

  On paper yes; in practice the death sentence is unusual, and actual executions are rare. The most recent execution was 15 years ago.

  I didn't get a chance to watch it, but did read the results in the paper. Short summary: Cadel Evans attacked on the first hill, Wiggins matched every attack. Evans could not hold the pace to end.

  After Friday's stage [LA Times], Wiggins leads Millar by just over two minutes, and Evans is in fourth overall more than three minutes behind.

  Wiggins is looking tough to beat now. He's left Cadel Evans quite a way back. (disclaimer: I haven't yet seen today's redults)
