The Weather In October

London has a temperate climate, with regular but generally light precipitation throughout the year. Summer temperatures rarely rise much above 33 °C, though higher temperatures have become more common recently. The highest temperature ever recorded in London was 38.1 degrees C, measured. Heavy snowfalls are almost unknown. In recent winters, snow has generally only settled once or twice and it is rarely more than an inch or so.London's large built-up area creates a microclimate (an "urban heat island"), with heat stored by the city's buildings. Sometimes temperatures are 5 °C warmer in the city than in the surrounding areas.
London’s weather is unpredictable, which explains why it is a favourite topic of conversation for the British.The city’s temperature is generally mild, but may drop below freezing point for brief periods during the winter. November through February are characterized by cold weather and short days and March to October days are longer but it can still be cold. The best months to visit London is in the months of April to September when it is comparitively drier.Peak tourist season is in the months of July and August when the temperature averages under 20 degrees Celsius. A typical British man always
carries his umbrella as an insurance against the weather.
October is a month in between the winter months and the summer months.It would usually have the sun and clouds in a mixed manner.It could be sunny in the morning but the evening could be cloudy with light rain.The chances of rain is always 60%.But this is a lovely month to be in London…its special because things are changing from summer to winter so are the clothes and all things in stores. In fact this is the month to shop since all sales will be on and don’t forget to have a Tea break in between in a restaurant
But the British always have a special feeling for October. It is the waiting period for winter and it’s the time for sales. Everything changes for winter fashions and summer clothes etc are on heavy discount. In fact it just not on clothes but it’s a frenzy sale time and local people usually do their yearly shopping in October. They wait for this sale time to get the best bargains. You will never realise how tiring it is to go shopping unless you do it once. It can poop you out and then you can take a break in a restaurant while you pause after a session of shopping. Actually if you like to shop this is the best period for you to visit London.

"County places obese Cleveland Heights child in foster care"

An 8 year old boy was removed from his home, and his mother stripped of custody over is weight. The child was 200lbs. Has CPS overstepped the boundaries here, or is this justified?
http://blog.cleveland.com/metro/2011/11/obese_cleveland_heights_child.html said:
CLEVELAND, Ohio -- An 8-year-old Cleveland Heights boy was taken from his family and placed in foster care last month after county case workers said his mother wasn't doing enough to control his weight.
At more than 200 pounds, the third-grader is considered severely obese and at risk for developing such diseases as diabetes and hypertension.
But even though the state health department estimates more than 12 percent of third-graders statewide are severely obese -- that could mean 1,380 in Cuyahoga County alone -- this is the first time anyone in the county or the state can recall a child being taken from a parent for a strictly weight-related issue.
The case plays into an emerging national debate that has some urging social-service agencies to step in when parents have failed to address a weight problem.
Others suggest there's hypocrisy in a government that would advocate taking children away for being overweight while saying it's OK to advertise unhealthy food and put toys in fast-food kids' meals.
Cuyahoga County does not have a specific policy on dealing with obese children. It removed the boy because case workers considered this mother's inability to get her son's weight down a form of medical neglect, said Mary Louise Madigan, a spokeswoman for the Department of Children and Family Services.
They said that the child's weight gain was caused by his environment and that the mother wasn't following doctor's orders -- which she disputes.
"This child's problem was so severe that we had to take custody," Madigan said. The agency worked with the mother for more than a year before asking Juvenile Court for custody of the child, she said.
Lawyers for the mother, a substitute elementary school teacher who is also taking vocational school classes, think the county has overreached in this case by arguing that medical conditions the boy is at risk for -- but doesn't yet have -- pose an imminent danger to his health.
They question whether the emotional impact of being yanked from his family, school and friends was also considered.
"I think we would concede that some intervention is appropriate," Juvenile Public Defender Sam Amata said. "But what risk became imminent? When did it become an immediate problem?"
Children are ordinarily removed from their homes for physical abuse, neglect or undernourishment.
Amata said that in his decades as a public defender, he has seen children left in homes with parents who have severe drug problems or who have beaten their children, with the reasoning that there isn't an immediate danger to the child.
In this case, Amata said, other than having a weight problem, the boy was a normal elementary school student who was on the honor roll and participated in school activities.
Records show the child's only current medical problem, sleep apnea, is being treated and that he wears a machine nightly that helps and monitors his breathing.
"They are trying to make it seem like I am unfit, like I don't love my child," the boy's mother said.
"Of course I love him. Of course I want him to lose weight. It's a lifestyle change, and they are trying to make it seem like I am not embracing that. It is very hard, but I am trying."
The mother and the boy are not named in this story because The Plain Dealer does not generally identify those involved in abuse cases.
The mother said that social workers took her son from his school on Oct. 19 and told her she could see him only once a week for two hours. The boy is living in a foster home.
Next month, the two sides will debate the case in front of a Juvenile Court magistrate, who will decide what is in the boy's best interest. A trial is set on the child's 9th birthday.
Rainbow hospital program for kids, families
County workers were alerted to the child's weight in early 2010 after his mother took him to a hospital for breathing problems. He was diagnosed with sleep apnea, which can be weight-related, and was given the breathing machine. Social workers began to monitor him under what the county calls protective supervision.
Last year, the boy lost weight but in recent months began to gain it back rapidly. That's when the county moved to take the child, records show.
The mother said that when she found out that other kids and a sibling might be giving her son extra food, she tried to put a stop to it and explain to him that he could eat only certain foods.
She tried to follow the recommendations of the doctors, such as getting him a bike and encouraging him to get exercise.
The mother wonders what role genetics plays in the boy's condition -- both she and his father and some other family members are overweight, she said. However, she also has a 16-year-old son who is tall and thin.
The mother agreed to enroll the child in a special Rainbow Babies & Children's Hospital program called Healthy Kids, Healthy Weight.
That program has evaluated more than 900 overweight and obese children from the ages of 4 to 8 since 2005. A team of specialty doctors, nutritionists, psychologists and others treat the children and work to educate families about creating healthy eating habits.
Dr. Naveen Uli, a pediatric endocrinologist and co-director of the program, said he is seeing more children who are quickly developing diseases that in the past were seen only in adults, like Type 2 diabetes and hypertension. These can affect a person's health, life span and health care costs, he said.
But he said interventions need to be targeted, if possible, for the whole family.
Uli said many families in the program have found it difficult to relearn how to eat, to read and translate confusing food labels and to make the healthy choices. Not all families complete the intense 12-week program, or they are unwilling or unable to grasp the seriousness of the threat, he said.
There is no policy on whether to report obese children to the county if they do not complete the program, but doctors can call if they think the child is at risk.
Uli said most of the children don't require immediate medical intervention but instead need help to prevent them from getting diseases like diabetes.
Uli said that in most cases, he thinks that keeping the family unit intact is better. But if that doesn't work, other interventions have to be derived, he said.
Debate emerges nationally on best ways to intervene
That is precisely what is at the core of a debate that is emerging nationally in the discussions about childhood obesity.
Earlier this year, Dr. David Ludwig, Harvard University professor and pediatric obesity expert, urged children's services agencies to intervene in severe cases when parents have failed to address a weight problem that leads to imminent health risks.
Ludwig, the co-author of an article that appeared in the Journal of American Medical Association this summer, said other interventions should be tried first and that children should be removed only as a last resort.
The article cited the example of a 12-year-old patient of Ludwig's who weighed 400 pounds and had developed diabetes, cholesterol problems, high blood pressure and sleep apnea -- conditions that could kill her before the age of 30.
But others question whether a future risk is enough to separate a child from a family.
Arthur Caplan, a professor of bioethics and medical ethics at the University of Pennsylvania, said that before a trend of removing children takes hold, the broader public-policy issue needs to be explored.
"A 218-pound 8-year-old is a time bomb," Caplan acknowledged. "But the government cannot raise these children. A third of kids are fat. We aren't going to move them all to foster care. We can't afford it, and I'm not sure there are enough foster parents to do it. "
He said he is worried that the families with the fewest resources, which are often minorities, will end up being ones with their children removed.
Caplan said one could get ethical whiplash in a world where one arm of government is so concerned about a child's weight that it removes him from his home, while another branch of government argues that french fries and tomato paste on pizza should be counted as servings of vegetables.
"It's completely hypocritical, or to put it another way, a schizophrenic stance," he said.
"It's OK to threaten to take a kid away or charge someone more for insurance," he said. "But it's also OK to advertise unhealthy food and put toys in kids' meals."
In the Cleveland Heights case, county workers believed that disconnecting the boy from his family, at least temporarily, might help. And he has lost a few pounds in the last month.
But now lawyers for the mother say they've been told that the foster mother who has the child in a neighboring suburb is having trouble keeping up with all of his appointments.
There was even a discussion about getting the foster mother additional help or moving the child again, this time to a foster home with a personal trainer, Amata said.
"I wonder why they didn't offer the mother that kind of extra help," Amata said.

Lack of education is the real issue. The kid should have been sent to a 'Fat Camp' and the mother sentenced to Community Service and Counselling.

Only an admin can change polls. PM MikeChannon.

As for the article, CPS was right to take the kid. I mean 200 punds at 8 years old. I'm 20 and never reached 200 lbs, most I think was like 188. And genetics my ass. Also many of them say its a disease. What's the name, hunger?

The artcile says "The mother agreed to enroll the child in a special Rainbow Babies & Childrens Hospital program called Healthy Kids, Healthy Weight", and also "She tried to follow the recommendations of the doctors, such as getting him a bike and encouraging him to get exercise." No where did the article indicate that she was not cooperating with CPS or coordinating with dr's to help the kid lose the weight.
While I do not see CPS removing a child from a home in these situations as a protecting act it is a very grey matter. If the mom had agreed to such programs its hard to say this instance was justified unless theres is some proof she is neglecting the childs health behind closed doors, which isnt clear here as shes been taking him to see doctors on the matter. But than you also have to remember that you dont get to 200 lbs at 8yrs old by siblings sneaking you snacks...

Worst speeding tickets/fastest you've gone?

I got my first speeding ticket today, it was 62 mph in a 40 mph. Not to bad in my opinion haha. What's some of y'alls worst speeding tickets?
Edit: Also fastest I've gone is 115 mph
Edit: I'm16 btw
Swyped from mah 3vo!

94.25mph on a motorway (speed limit is 70 for cars), turned out my car had much better brakes than the Police Volvo and they nearly went up the back of me when I pulled over.
Got a £60 fine and 3 points which expired some years ago.
86mph on a motorway. I received a letter stating I hadn't responded to the Notice of Intended Prosecution (the letter stating your car was spotted speeding and asking who was driving so they can prosecute them).
I replied stating I hadn't received my NIP, so they sent me one, to which I replied it's past the 14 day period so I didn't have to fill it out.
They basically said "We don't care, we're the Police, we're above the law" So I quoted them the relevant sections of the Road Traffic Offences act, namely that they have 14 days to send the NIP, it doesn't have to arrive, the registered/recorded post used to send it is proof that the NIP has been served.
I requested the tracking number to prove when it was posted. They couldn't provide this because they don't use registered/recorded post, it costs too much, so they just use 1st class (or it may have been 2nd class) post.
I however did pay for recorded delivery with my letters to them, so when they passed the case onto court claiming I hadn't responded, I filled out the paperwork showing that I had responded and they had received it, also they had no proof the NIP had been sent in time.
The case was thrown out of court and both the CPS (Crown Prosecution Service) and justices’ clerk both apologised for wasting my time.
I'd had to travel half way up the country to be at court so stayed in a motel the night before, and I could have claimed expenses including for the fuel used.

last time i saw a motorcycle speeding in the main road. he zoomed by and then a good 5 seconds later i hear what sounded like an electric motor but was in fact a motorcycle cop LOL
The crotch rocket got away quick!! LOL

As usual, we'll need some fun facts:
- The fastest speeding ticket in the world allegedly occurred in May 2003 in Texas. It was supposedly 242 mph (389 km/h) in a 75 mph (121 km/h) zone. The car was a Swedish-built Koenigsegg CC8S, which was involved in the San Francisco to Miami Gumball 3000 Rally.
- The fastest convicted speeder in the UK was Daniel Nicks, convicted of 175 mph (282 km/h) on a Honda Fireblade motorcycle in 2000. He received six weeks in jail and was banned from driving for two years. The fastest UK speeder in a car was Timothy Brady, caught driving a 3.6-litre Porsche 911 Turbo at 172 mph (277 km/h) on the A420 in Oxfordshire in January 2007 and jailed for 10 weeks and banned from driving for 3 years
- The most expensive speeding ticket ever given is believed to be the one given to Jussi Salonoja in Helsinki, Finland, in 2003. Salonoja, the 27-year-old heir to a company in the meat-industry, was fined 170,000 euros for driving 80 km/h in a 40 km/h zone. The uncommonly large fine was due to Finnish speeding tickets being relative to the offender's last known income. Salonoja's speeding ticket was not the first ticket given in Finland reaching six figures
- There are many competing claims as to the first speeding ticket ever issued depending whether the claim goes by the first traffic violation or the first paper ticket ever issued. Great Britain may have the earliest claim with the first person to be convicted of speeding, Walter Arnold of East Peckham, Kent, who on 28 January 1896 was fined for speeding at 8 mph (13 km/h) in a 2 mph (3.2 km/h) zone. He was fined 1 shilling plus costs

The fastest I've gone is 115 mph idk what that is in kmph

the fastest i have been is 95mph which is 152 km
the reason not faster is that is when my governor kicks in and slows me down..
Safety thing...
I could take it out but don't feel like or need too as i don't need to go that fast

ya the speedometer says 100mph but as soon as i hit 95-96 it slows down to 90
And its an suv Chevy Blazer so its not meant to go fast like a car

Haha that makes sense I guess are you in America? I'd never heard of a car coming with a governor

140mph. Chasing someone who threw a cup of soda at my car just because I signaled and got in front of them. I was merging into the highway. I don't understand why people think they own the road.. Anyway.. I chased and couldn't get the driver to stop. Girl friend was in the car with me and screaming for me to stop...I think I probably at that moment I would have pushed the car to the limit it can handle...

Frontline on PBS.

Who watches this wonderful program? Very in-depth pieces. Next week they're doing an episode about a high school group that built a kit car that outperforms many production sports cars. I've seen coverage on everything from legalizing marijuana to the failures of forensic science. Love it.

I used to watch it more but haven't in some time after moving from DFW to Vegas. It was better before they cut it down to 30 minutes and moved to David Brancachio. I guess Bill Moyers was getting older, but David just doesn't have the same watchability or followthrough that Bill had.
