Unless you're an enraged motorist, there's plenty of good to be found in the current push for big city bike sharing programs. BitLock is certainly in keeping with the spirit of such initiatives, albeit on a much more localized scale. The proposed product is essentially a standard bike U-lock that ...

Family and friends begin to clap as Bride Sarah Nagy holds her father's hand as they wait for Reverend Charles Knerem to begin her wedding ceremony on Oct. 12, in Strongsville, Ohio.
By Simon Moya-Smith, Staff Writer, NBC News
A terminally ill man from Ohio was able to give his daughter away at her wedding Saturday — with the assistance of an all-volunteer hospital caravan.
Lying in a gurney and connected to a portable ventilator and heart monitor, Scott Nagy, 56, who suffers from metastatic urethral cancer, was transported by ambulance from University Hospitals Seidman Cancer Center in Cleveland to First Lutheran Church in Strongsville, nurse practitioner Jacky Uljanic, who helped organize the event, told NBC News.
"The planning had to be pretty strategic," she said. "It took probably about three weeks to get everything together."
Uljanic said two paramedics had volunteered their time as well as their ambulance to take Nagy to the wedding. Other volunteers included a nurse, an additional nurse practitioner and a doctor who followed the ambulance to the church.
"When we walked in with him at the church there were tissues to faces," she said. "The entire congregation started clapping."
Uljanic said Nagy was able to stay for the entire wedding and even had a little extra time after to pose with family and friends in the church parking lot.
Janice Guhl, director of media and public relations with University Hospital Seidman Cancer Center, lauded the staff for their willingness to volunteer.
"The nurses really rallied and were able to take him to the church," she told NBC News.
Alicia Reale, media relations manager with Seidman, said the nurses even had scheduled a barber to visit the hospital to groom Nagy's beard and cut his hair.

Scott Nagy's wife Jean pins the corsage to her husband's jacket before the start of their daughter's wedding ceremony at First Lutheran Church in Strongsville, Ohio, on Oct. 12. University Hospital sent a medical team along with Scott who is bound to his bed. The ambulance ride to the church was donated by Physicians Medical Transport.
“I think it went so far as they helped to get sheets for his gurney that would match the wedding colors," Reale said.
Nagy, who was first diagnosed with the deadly disease last November, has been at Seidman's intensive care unit since August and has undergone chemotherapy, Uljanic said.
Scott’s wife, Jean, told NBC News that she was sharing texts with her husband before he arrived at the church and that she was grateful for the efforts of the volunteer hospital personnel.
“I was just teary eyed most of the day,” she said.
Jean added that the family had rented a big screen and a projector so that her husband could give the ceremonial toast from his hospital room.
She said his toast included well wishes to the newlyweds as well as an encouragement to the wedding revelers.
“He wanted to make sure everyone had enough to drink and enough to eat and dance as much as they could – to have a good time,” Jean said.
Uljanic said it was Nagy's goal to survive long enough to attend his daughter's wedding, which was originally scheduled for next year, but moved up in March, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
"He was very thankful we could make this happen for him," she said.

Except, to hear showrunner Steven Moffat talk about the subject, that might not actually be the case…
Speaking at the Cheltenham Literature Festival over the weekend, Moffat confirmed the 12 regeneration rule, and then teased, "I think you should go back to your DVDs and count correctly this time. There's something you've all missed."

Firstly, that sounds like a challenge for the obsessive fan. Secondly, there are multiple things that this could refer to, including:
Of course, Moffat is unlikely to spill the beans before he's ready -- but the possibility that he's changing the rules while respecting everything that's come before should translate into just one more reason why the next couple of special episodes of Doctor Who will be must-see viewing for fans.
Recently Lowe’s Home Improvement and I partnered together to brighten up my kitchen! This is my second post to tell you about our kitchen DIY project: My work with Lowe’s, painting the kitchen and adding new lighting, and something I’m very excited about, new countertops are on their way!
It makes me giddy and excited for the holidays to come! One thing, in particular, is that I’ll have new WHITE solid surface countertops!
Our friend Jack came to help install, paint, and do some extra jobs around the house. I posted about our shopping experience at Lowe’s, last week.
Now it’s time to get to work on the house! In comes Jack …
Jack’s not only our retired friend, we find him so enjoyable to be around. We decided after a few days of working and helping us that we’d actually let Jack, and his wife Carol, move in with us!
I’ll start with our front door. We painted it an HEIRLOOM RED using Valspar paint. We have our original 1978 front doors, which I believe keeps the integrity of our home, and it was nice to have a touch up. We had red in the past and I wanted red again. A red front door to me makes a statement: WELCOME.
Then we moved into the kitchen for more painting. We used Olympic paint with these colors:
Olympic ONE paint for the kitchen: Weeping Willow C11-3 and Babbling Brook D61-2
Once we get the back splash up and the counters in, I’ll show you the big reveal with the new paint colors!
The next project we worked on was lighting in our home. Up the staircase, and the entry.
Before we changed out the lights.
And after, with 2 beautiful allen + roth® wooden slat pendants in a warm pecan finish, with a fabric shade.
I love the allen + roth® brand, which is sold exclusively at Lowe’s.
Jack also hung a new pendant light in our dining room. It had been years since we’d repurposed the old one by spraying it black. It was definitely time for an update!
The quality and style of this pendant tied in nicely with our dining/kitchen area– yellows, browns, and a touch of teal and green.
With the existing 3 red pendants in the kitchen, we decided to change up the colors with 3 beautiful teal-ish blue.
Construction is always messy!
Just when we finished the painting, Kevin came from Lowe’s Home Improvements, came to measure for our new LG HI-MACS Solid WHITE Solid Surface Countertops!
Details to come on the installation. And then soon, the big reveal.
Love the process of making a template for the counters. Perfect idea!
Remember the goal for sprucing up our kitchen and home was to add more light. To brighten things up and to bring clarity and light to a dark space.
That said, I whipped into our local Lowe’s store for all of these products, because the partnership I have with is to “buy in stock.” That made it very simple for me!
I browsed the lighting section only a couple of times, and made my decision. I’m happy to say that our experience with shopping at Lowe’s was very easy and comfortable. And their staff was very knowledgable and had great style tips! The products we’ve decided to use were top notch, with no glitches whatsoever. So sometimes a “quick” shopping experience is much more profitable and time effective, than long drawn-out ones where you can’t decide. Part of not being able to decide I believe has to do with perfectionism and image. We worry too much about what other people will think, how they will judge our home, or “if we made the right decision.”
Easy Decision and Shopping Process:
- Make your choices.
- Stick with your gut.
- Ask 1 friend or professional. Don’t get a zillion other opinions or you’ll be terribly confused.
- Take samples home and lay them out.
- Use your a My Lowe’s account for easy planning.
- Head to the store and ask 1 employee to help you to collect all items.
- Try to get everything in 1 shopping trip.
- Make sure they help you out to your car if you need it.
- Put Lowe’s phone number in your cell, in case you need to call them for help.
Do everything you can to enjoy the experience and remodel process!
Do you have any small home improvements coming up?
Next post: The countertops are here! Installation time, and why we love our new LG HI-MACS Solid Surface countertops.
Today’s post is sponsored by Lowe’s Home Improvement, who provided me with product. As always, all opinions are my own.

Since returning to WWE for the first time in six years, the incomparable Rob Van Dam has been driven by one simple goal: winning back championship gold. However, after suffering an excruciating defeat to World Heavyweight Champion Alberto Del Rio at WWE Battleground, the Extreme Superstar will be taking some time off.
As revealed on Raw, RVD announced his decision in an exclusive interview for the "WWE Battleground 2013" DVD. Although he can still physically go, mentally and spiritually, he needs some time off, he said.
Despite considerable ability inside the squared circle, the high-octane competitor has not only failed to acquire the prize in two separate World Title pay-per-view matches against Del Rio, but he also fell short in his bid to capture his second guaranteed WWE Title contract in the Money in the Bank All-Stars Ladder Match and lost to United States Champion Dean Ambrose.
Stay with WWE.com for future updates, as the WWE Universe eagerly awaits the return of this exciting competitor.
