                      Polar Bear makes a friend
Near Hudson Lake in Manitoba, German wildlife photographer
Norbert Rosing spotted a polar bear coming near his sled dogs.

He took pictures of what he thought would be the end of his dogs. Apparently the bear came back every night for a week to play with the dogs.

A brief history lesson.

ATTN: DO NOT SHARE THIS POST!!!!

It contains nothing important, has no humorous images of animals and/or photoshopped celebrities - nothing that would interest anyone!

...you're eyeing that Share button, aren't you?

What's wrong with you??? Think of the children! Or if you don't have children, think of your friend's children! Or if you don't like your friend's children, adopt some children and think of them!

Is nothing sacred to you? Can't you just skip this and move on to the next post in your stream, which is probably far more important and/or entertaining?

STOP! Don't push that Share button! I saw that!

Do you HAVE to Share everything you come across? Who am I really? Why do you care? Would you jump off a house if I told you to? I wouldn't! ...well, not again.

My God, you're hopeless. You're going to Share this, aren't you?

Fine. Be that way. Go ahead, share away! I'm sure everyone in your circle is just dying to see this! Maybe it contains the meaning of life! Or some fascinating perspective of the human condition!

What? They just like to look at funny pictures? Find out what you're eating for lunch?

Oh, I weep for humanity. Okay, maybe not weep, but when I think of humanity, I feel real bad at the time.

Okay, Share the post. No really! With my blessing.

WAIT! THAT WAS A JOKE!

DAMN! I was too late!

Some dogs need space

Some dogs need space
 
If you see a dog with a yellow ribbon on the leash this is a dog who needs some space. Please do not approach this dog or its people with your dog. They are indicating that their dog cannot be near other dogs. How close is too close? Only the dog or his people know, so maintain distance or give them time to move out of your way.
There are many reasons why a dog may need space:

Maybe he has health issues or is in training.
She may be a rescue dog being rehabilitated. The world can be a very scary place for these dogs.
He may have had a bad experience with another dog or just not like the kind of friendly dogs who always want to say “Hi!”
In short, a yellow marker on a dog means it needs a little space.

The dog on the left is blind due to an accident, the dog on the right always leads the blind dog along, they're best friends. This shows that compassion can be shown by other living beings, not just humans. Very moving :)

A very important decision from the UK High Court.

A very important decision from the UK High Court. Apple's design arguments dismissed by referring to 50 examples of prior art.

UK High Court dismisses Apple’s design arguments vs Samsung by referring to 50 examples of prior art
Apple's design patent claims have been dismissed by the UK High Court by simply referring to 50 designs that were previously created or patented, from before 2004. These include the Knight Ridder (1994), the Ozolin (2004), and HP’s TC1000 (2003). The court found numerous Apple design features to lack originality, and numerous identical design features to have been visible in a wide range of earlier tablet designs from before 2004.

With 50 examples of prior art dating back nearly 20 years, Apple has no such further claims to make!

The same easy case of simply showing prior art can simply be used by all other Android makers when defending themselves against bogus Apple patent lawsuits!

Schrader valves for tubeless

I found these at chainreactor. Fast shipping. Fit nicely in the hole left by those troublesome presta valves. I had to file them down a bit as they were too wide for my rims.
