Pinstripes At Dawn
The blue pinstripe may be the quintessential sunny urban day suit. Becoming popular during the rise of the railroads, whose parallel rails they emulated, pinstripes have been inextricably connected to business dress ever since (blue of course is the city suit of warmer weather almost by default, since all but the palest of grays are better worn when the skies are overcast).
More difficult to wear than plain navy because they are more conspicuous, the best pinstripes in my opinion are white. White stripes meld quite nicely with any shirting that has a white ground and that reduces the impact of the suit pattern on the eye while permitting the widest variety of color combinations. Colored stripes are considerably more difficult, in the sense that they just about force a man to wear a shirt or necktie in those colors. Nothing wrong with that but limiting.
Connected as they are to business dress, pinstripes are probably not the best choice for evening despite the frequency with which they are seen on the backs of some of our better known dandies. Personally, I think them fine for early evening cocktails provided one does not mind looking as thought he came directly from the office. But the further away we are from toil, the better it is to look as though we have a life outside of work. There solid suitings do a better job - after all, there are to the best of my knowledge no striped evening clothes.
Of course, when one is at work, it is best to look the part. A blue pinstripe like the mid-weight version in the photo does exactly that.

I agree with your opinions on pin stripes, I find them limiting and as a result, I don't own many. Must point out that the jacket in your photo is pretty wrinkled, and I like the jaunt of your handkerchief, exactly the way I like to wear white in the pocket. Did you arrange that on purpose??

Said jacket is hanging on a steamer for just that reason.

Yep, definitely a grand city suit. Fortunately, I never have to go into a city so I can avoid pinstripes. That could change but it isn't likely.

My favorite suit in single and double breasted. Nothing with the possible exception of the dark blue solid beats it. And as someone above observed exactly the way to wear the pocket hankerchief with a suit like this

Acccording to Captain Jesse, Brummell wore black and white striped hose with his evening pantaloons. But that is about the limit of it, as far as I know.
Nice coat. Is it by Davies & Son? - May 2, 2012 at 3:02:00 PM PDT

I really wish pinstriped suits weren't so closely associated with bankers and the city (and 1930s/1940s gangsters). It makes for another suiting option that now has limited use.
Previously (many decades past) bankers were associated with black, or black coats and grey striped trousers.
I have two pin-striped suits and I want to wear them more. I might just do so, and to hell with the psychological associations; let us break the spell. - May 2, 2012 at 3:14:00 PM PDT

Will, dawn is too early for pin stripes. That's dressing gown time. Pin stripes come after. I have quite a few stripes, pin, rope, chalk. Once upon a time I heard the "where's the rest of the Capone gang" type of comment. But with a steely gaze and time that has long past. No one bats an eye now, and if anything is said its a complement. Wear stripes.

The sun has risen over Ridgefield Farm & Orchard for more than a century, dusting its orchards' apple trees, its winding cornfield maze, and its thick forests of pines with warm, nurturing rays. Generations have flocked there from across the country, snipping fresh buds from flower gardens during the summer months or scampering though the pumpkin patch come fall. The advent of autumn also marks the beginning of the farm's apple-picking season, when dwarf orchard trees grow heavy with juicy gala, empire, and golden delicious fruits. After the annual pumpkin-picking and Halloween celebrations have passed, the grounds offer up an abundance of furs and spruces to be used as Christmas trees or stacked up and tied together into one giant Christmas tree. Throughout the year, the onsite country store peddles seasonal produce and housemade jams to boast the bounty of the farm's fields and to keep visitors fueled.
River & Trail Outfitters owners Lee and Eunsook Baihly have been acquainting customers with the area's natural beauty since 1972. Their outdoor-exploration company's more than 70 friendly staffers accompany customers on relaxed, informative rafting, kayaking, canoeing, biking, and tubing excursions. In addition to having mastered river- and boat-safety skills, staff members are experienced in first aid, CPR, and the correct way to ask dolphins for directions. River & Trail Outfitters also accommodates businesses, organizing team-building events and rock-climbing excursions or hiking trips. The Baihlys' environmental commitment extends to an in-house recycling program and the use of biodiesel fuels.
In 1992, Dewey Heffner and his son George started selling black tire tubes out of their truck under a sign that read, "Butts Tubes." Through the years, the seed of this roadside tubing company sprouted 11 different outdoor activities and matured into Harpers Ferry Adventure Center.
At Harper's Adventure Center, single- and multiday adventures fuse adrenaline-packed thrills with the scenery of the Potomac and Shenandoah River regions. More than 100 species of birds, 60 types of butterflies, and flocks of wild birthday balloons fill the sky on hiking trails, which wind through hilly terrain. The crashing sound of Bull Falls forms the soundtrack for whitewater-rafting trips, and treetop canopies serve as the decor for ziplining.
Drawing from these activities, Harpers Ferry Adventure Center's crew can design custom adventure packages or help customers to choose a predesigned trip. They also lead team-building retreats using outdoor activities to teach universal skills such as working toward a common goal or ziplining to the stage for business presentations.
Hemmed into the shadows of the Blue Ridge Mountains outside Bluemont, Virginia, family-run Great Country Farms spans 200 acres and is still growing. Here, the Zurschmeide family welcomes visitors to dip their toes into farm living on land that churns out produce including blackberries, peaches, pumpkins, and potatoes.
A multitude of attractions sprawl across the farm's grounds, from mazes to hayrides to a barnyard full of friendly cows, chickens, and pigs waiting for a handful of tasty feed or a blank check they can use to upgrade to the penthouse pen. Each season presents a variety of pick-your-own-produce opportunities as well as a full calendar of events at the farm, including Mother's Day celebrations in the spring, barbecues in the summer, and a Cider Festival in the fall. When not hosting its own events, the farm opens its facilities to special gatherings such as weddings and birthdays.

Also Thursday, Obama called 10 members the military -- two each from the Army, Air Force, Coast Guard, Marine Corps, and Navy -- who have been deployed in support of the war in Afghanistan. According to the White House, the president "thanked each of them for their service and sacrifice and wished them and their families a Happy Thanksgiving."
The first family carried out another Thanksgiving tradition Wednesday and participated in a service project at the Capital Area Food Bank. They were joined by members of the Oregon State men's basketball team as they packed and distributed bags of food to children and seniors by the food bank.
Before the service project, Obama took part in another tradition - he pardoned Cobbler, a turkey who was spared from a Thanksgiving feast.

Though he passed away in 1991, Theodor Seuss Geisel–known to most as simply Dr. Seuss—would have turned 109 years old Saturday, March 2. The nation celebrates his birth with storytimes, classroom activities and fond reflections of favorite books.
Did you know that Dr. Seuss never really was a doctor of any sort? According to GoodReads.com, he'd gone to Oxford to obtain a doctorate of literature, but never finsihed his degree.
Instead, while on board a ship on a European vacation, he crafted "And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street." He inspired authors (and children) across the world when, after being rejected by 43 publishers, he got a friend to publish his first work in 1937, according to Seussville.com.
Read Across America suggests adults celebrate the day by reading to a child. The second annual event, held in conjunction with the National Education Association (NEA), encourages literacy and a celebration of books.
Patch encourges you to remember the man, his collection of amazing stories and celebrate his birth by posting your favorite Seuss memories. Do you have a favorite quote? A favorite book? A memory tied to reading? Share your story here in the comments.

Some children are viewed as just plain difficult. They may refuse to wear certain clothes, hate to take baths, hit for no apparent reason, crash into things with a high tolerance for pain, have difficulty transitioning or intolerance to crowds or large family gatherings. Parenting a "difficult child" can be embarassing as well as frustrating, and as frustrations build, temper tantrums can escillate. Children generally don't misbehave without cause, so look carefully for underlying distress. If your child does show signs of distress with any of our 5 senses, take a closer look to see what his triggers are. Children who hit for no apparent reason can be sensory seeking, just needing to hit something or someone, so provide pressure and sensory input experiences throughout the day by playing drums on the table, jumping or hopping, or finding treasure in a washtub filled with rice. When hiding treasure (crayons, coins, matchbox cars, etc), be aware of item size and choking hazards, as safety always comes first! Digging through a dishpan of rice or beans to find hidden treasure is a calming, soothing activity which can be offered several times throughout each day. Read my syndicated article to learn about other triggers and remediations for temper tantrums in Understanding a child with Sensory Processing Disorder.
Diana Boggia has a masters degree in education with licensure in preschool, elementary and special education. She taught children with multiple disabilities for 15 years and has been working with parents (families) with behavioral concerns for more than 23 years. She develops individualized strategies to build self esteem and diminish negative, attention-seeking behaviors for each child to be successful in achieving remarkable results. Throughout her work with parents Diana has developed a program that includes hands-on materials encompassing limit-setting, developing structure with schedules, teaching time management, increasing listening skills and parenting with incentives, rather than threats. These successful strategies have changed the dynamics of many families who were struggling with their child's behaviors.

I ordered this cute rolling backpack on the 25th of September, we received it around the 30th. Today is the 12th of October, and the backpack is falling apart! I bought this cute but tough looking bag for my 6th grader. Yes, it is heavy , when packed full of books- that's why I bought a ROLLING BAG! However, this one is a really bad design! To make it sturdier, they put a hard plastic or metal plate under the handle, which unfortunately is cutting into the material every time she picks up the bag by the handle, and it is already breaking on the top. I don't know if ALL the CalPacks have this design fault , or only this one , but I would definitely not recommend this one! However, if you just gonna use it to roll around and NO PICKING IT UP BY THE HANDLE, no problem; the back is padded, the wheels are tough, the pulling handle is great, it has several pockets---- would be a fantastic bag, if the material was stronger and the top plate was big enough for the WHOLE top. Don't say I didn't warn you!
I purchased this rolling backpack for my 8 year old son and within 2 months the bottom corners were torn. Within 3 months the inside linings tore off completely. The only positive is that the handle remained intact. Would not recommend for an active child.
Okay backpack if it stays out of the sun. My little boy has now used this backpack for the entire kindergarten school year with a month left to go. Here in SoCal the children park their backpacks outside the classrooms. The sun has faded this backpack so badly it doesn't even look orange anymore. Also, the sun has done such a number on it that it is desintegrating. It is literally falling apart. Other than that, the wheels, handle zippers etc. are all good. The material is just not sun/fade proof.
I bought this backpack for my elementary age kids. The backpack colors are nice (I bought the red, orange, and blue). Within a month of use the back pack already ripped on the part close to the handle. The inside packet also ripped from the top part. I am guessing that the backpack ripped because it can not handle the weight of the contents when ever you lift them insted of using the rollers. The bottom part of the back pack also separated from the base. It was only 3 months since my kids have used the back pack and I now have to replace them. I have bought other CalPak backpacks before and they lasted for one school year. I thought that this one will last too because they are more expensive than the previous ones I bought. I was very very disappointed.
I waited to review this item because there's no way to really know until it is truly used. My child loves the way it looks and especially not having to shoulder all the weight. Nice, bright colors, lots of compartments. Except the side fabric is already ripping as well as the netting on the side pocket and it is only mid-October. I have to mention that my son doesn't give his things a lot of wear... and has never trashed a backpack. I will try to patch it for it to stop the side rip to continue but we may have get something else (or another one) by mid-year.
Very happy with purchase. Price point great. Quality of material more than satisfactory. Kids happy with color and ease of ability to roll . Delivery was much sooner than expeceted....added bonus. Overall great experience with this online buy
Thank you for he great business. Shipping was very fast, and the item was accurate in its description. Thank you
Bought this backpack for daily use to haul my things back and forth to the gym. Works great for me. The largest area has a separate "envelope" area which I assume is for a lap top but I'm using it for my flip flops. The next zippered area is more than big enough for my book or magazines. And finally the smallest zippered area has smaller pockets which I can use for my lock, make up, etc. Also, within this area is a great key holder which can be removed at will, snap off and on hook. The only caution I would make for this rolling back pack is the extended handle does not come up very far. I'm only 5 feet tall and it almost feels a little low for me.
A very nice ,smooth rolling backpack and is very attractive.will work great with my work and save stress on my back.
The pull handle broke after one month. So I carried on and taped it back together. Now all the zippers have broken off of almost every pocket! I have to buy another backpack in six months' time, and it won't be this brand.

Motherhood Mondays: Biking in Amsterdam
When turning, people would just put one hand casually down on that side, or point to the ground to the left or right of them:
We saw lots of couples on dates, where the girls were riding sideways on the back of their boyfriends' bikes. It looks cute and charming, although my friend Penny, who lives there, said that it feels like a horribly uncomfortable half-body ab workout:)
We saw people carrying crazy things:
We saw people biking with dogs in their front baskets:
More below...
And, most of all, we saw families on bikes--often three or four kids on a bike with one parent!
Other things we noticed about biking in Amsterdam:
* No one wears helmets, not even kids.
* People do everything while riding bikes: hold up umbrellas in the rain, eat sandwiches, smoke cigarettes, listen to music, talk on the phone, hold hands with their friend cycling next to them...
* Bikes rule the roads, even more than cars! Drivers watch very carefully for bikes, and pedestrians stay clear of the bike lanes. If there's any question about who has right of way, it generally goes to the bike.
* There are big bike paths on pretty much every street in the city.
* The Netherlands has more bikes than people! The population is 16.7 million people, yet there are 18 million bikes.
We loved biking around Amsterdam--what a rad city!

Glad you liked our little country! And the bicycle-stuff you write about happens all over the country. Seeing all of this through your eyes makes me appreciate it even more to live here. We have a 10 weeks old son and I can't wait to get a 'bakfiets', transporter bicycle, to drive around with him. We have no car and I don't know what I would do without my bike(s).
And yes, it's true: riding on the back of a bike is absolutely romantic and a bit painful :o).
xx from The Netherlands,
MarjoleinI recently read an article about tourists biking in Amsterdam and getting in the way of the Dutch locals. Apparently tourists can cause real traffic jams for the Dutch who are incredibly adept on their bikes. In fact they want the government/city council to have 'tourist only' cycle areas.
ReplyDeleteThis is so cool! I had a friend come from Austria recently and the first thing she wanted to buy was a bike when she got to NY. But I live in the suburbs and she couldn't understand why things were so far apart that you would have to buy a car instead of a bike. From these pictures I now realize how dominant bike usuage is in Eastern Europe! I'm jealous! They must all have some killer legs!! =)
Lemanie's Randomness BlogLove these pictures so much. We brought our bikes with us from Ireland when we moved here. We bike a lot. Those family shots are great, I particularly love the one with the stroller on the back. Our littlest one is 21 months and when we want to stop and explore sometimes I don't feel like using his backpack to carry him after a long cycle so this has inspired me. Thanks for posting these I am looking forward to hearing more about your trip.
ReplyDeleteIt's crazy to me that they don't wear helmets! When I was in Amsterdam in '08, I got lost on a walking tour with my group and was trying to find my way back through the shopping district, which was full of people. I walked out to this big intersection, talking to a friend on my cell phone, and looked for a street sign. There were hundreds of cyclists and cars, and I saw a van hit this guy on his bike from behind. The cyclist flipped off his bike and smacked his head on the pavement - I totally thought he had been killed! I screamed and started crying to my friend on the cell phone... But then, the guy sat up really slowly and looked around - everyone on the street was stopped to look at him - and then he got up, got on his bike, and rode away. The guy in the van was totally stunned and you could tell he was very apologetic, but eventually he drove away too. It all happened so fast! But I'm glad everyone was okay, and eventually I found my way back to my group, although I was a little jittery for the rest of the day.
ReplyDeleteI loved reading this post about all the bikes in Amsterdam! Looks like it's an enjoyable way to get around the city -- much less stressful than driving! I can just imagine riding a bike around that city, feeling the wind in your hair and taking in the sites.
I like riding my bike in the U.S., but only on bike paths. I hate riding on the streets here. It's scary! Drivers and cars don't seem very friendly to people biking on the street.
Kristina- Mari11:19 AM
In Europe, people generally don't wear helmets, and I even spot people without them in London, where I live. London is great for cyclists, the Barclays system is very affordable and convenient for people who live in the Central area. I'd be scared to ride a bike here without a helmet though -- I once saw one of those big double-decker buses knocking down a cyclist in Bishopsgate. Scary!
ReplyDelete My great aunt bikes to her village almost every day in Holland!! I was amazed, when I went to visit her she was worried I wouldn't be able to keep up, and she was right, we biked for hours!! I love Dutch bicycles too, the seats are large and cushy like sofa cushions. Can't wait to hear all about your adventures, post lots of pictures!
ReplyDeleteI love biking but I would never dare do it in New York, of fear of getting killed.
♥This makes me miss living in Amsterdam! When I biked in the mornings, my favorite part of the journey was watching parents drop of their kids at daycare on their bikes. They would ride up to the place, place their foot down, hand over their child to the daycare worker, give a kiss goodbye, and then continue riding on, in their suit and with a briefcase strapped to the back. It's so much better than SUVs in LA!
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing to see the multiple children families on a bike. Like a tetris game! NPR recently did a story on people not wearing helmets in Amsterdam. Turns out the government is afraid to enforce a helmet law as it would discourage people from biking for some reason. A lot of the citizens they interviewed said it was mostly for ascetic reasons. :/
ReplyDeleteA former boyfriend once picked me up from work on a commuter bike from Amsterdam and rode me all the way home - 13 miles! - sitting kind of side saddle, like above.
It was nighttime, and I was *terrified* at first, but as I settled in, it was the best thing in the cruise through different Chicago neighborhoods at that pace. One of the most romantic 'dates' I've ever had.this is SO awesome. if it wasn't raining outside and being dreary, i would probably hop on my bike right now to ride to class.
i wish riding in chicago was as leisurely as this appears to be though...I spend most of my bike riding time having a heart attack and trying to avoid potholes while also trying to avoid being hit by a car (they pay very minimal attention to bikers here! my roommate was in a horrific bike accident last summer, and i know too many people who have gotten doored or sideswiped.)
i wonder how they manage their balance with all of those children and cellos? :)"* Bikes rule the roads, even more than cars! Drivers watch very carefully for bikes, and pedestrians stay clear of the bike lanes. If there's any question about who has right of way, it generally goes to the bike." That's why they don't need helmets! Here, even in my small town, cars seem to think bikes are a side note. Sigh. Lots of safety extras and vigilance necessary ici.
ReplyDeleteOh what memories! When I went to Amsterdam, bikes were one of my favorite things! A couple observations about the photos you found: I LOVE that in one of the photos with a mother and daughter, the daughter is carrying a unicycle in her lap! AND, the woman riding in the park with a white scarf and jacket looks absolutely flawless while perusing with her adorable daughter sitting behind the handlebars. OH MY GOODNESS, I need to go back!
We recently went to Antwerp- another city were bikes are THE mode of transport too. Great pics!I love seeing Amsterdam through your eyes (as I'm Dutch)! I never realized children don't wear helmets, until we had our baby in France, where it is NOT done to not have your child wear a helmet. And rightly so. However it is still strange to me to see adults wearing helmets when riding a bike, here in France. I do miss my home country when looking at these pictures! Can't wait to see more.
ReplyDeleteIn the picture where the guy is carrying that instrument or whatever giant object, is that a bear cub in the front? lol it\dk if it's a dog, bear, or something else and my eyes are tricking me. I would LOVE to live where cars actually looked for bikers. By me there are accidents all the time, sad and scary.
ReplyDeletefunny story- while we were in amsterdam we went into a bike shop to look at some of the elaborate bikes. my aunt was completely enamored with one, and she said to the salesman, "we don't get bikes like these where we're from!" the guy said, "where are you visiting from?" and she said "the united states." and he looked at her flatly and said "these were manufactured in california." she was so embarrassed and we laughed for days.
ReplyDeleteI went to Amsterdam in 2008 and remember seeing one woman with a baby in a seat on her handlebars, a toddler in a seat behind her, and she was pulling a cart that had at least two more little ones in it. I told this to my boyfriend recently and he didn't believe me! I'll have to show him this post ;)
ReplyDelete- Anonymous2:09 PM
So funny... I guess everyone who goes to Amsterdam and is into bikes comes backs with photos like these! I was obsessively taking similar photos on my trip there earlier this month. I couldn't get over those 3-seaters, and loved the bakfiets. And people really do do just about everything on their bikes.
Correction, though, which my husband pointed out to me when we were there... the POLICE who ride bikes wear helmets! I didn't see a single regular person, in 8 days, wearing one though. One poster on an older post of yours (and possibly above, but I haven't read all of these comments) was from the Netherlands and commented that helmets are stupid and completely unnecessary in the Netherlands because riding is so safe. I have to disagree with that. Statistics will no doubt show a much lower rate of accidents, with more bikes, fewer cars, and a huge network of dedicated bike lanes. But, accidents do still happen. It's not like it's impossible to fall and hit your head. I'm a competent cyclist who rides are home, yet was taken down by another tourist who made a left turn into my lane, cutting me off, and clipped my handlebars, dragging me down. There were also a number of times I encountered vans and trucks parked in the bike lane, and people on the sidewalks, so I had to veer into the street, riding inches from cars. That said CHANCES ARE, you're not going to fall and hit your head, or get hit. And I found it very freeing to be able to dress normally and ride the bike as transportation, without helmet head when I arrived at my destination! Still, everyone anywhere would do better to wear helmets. There is always risk involved in riding. I'm Dutch and I loved to bike around with my 2 twin daughters on the bike. I had the supermom feeling when i did all my shopping on the bike with the kids. Now they are 9 years old, have of course their own bike but still want to sit on the back.
This is the way we do our things in Holland !I was also in Amsterdam last week, in fact I saw you at the Anne Frank Museum but did not want to sound like a groupie reader and say hello ;)
This bike thing is amazing and I´m planning to do more research on the historical part of it. I saw people riding the bike carrying plants, suitcases, and as you said smoking, eating, and so forth...I also rented a bike and although I was a little but afraid at the beggining, it turned out to be an amazing experience, specially crossing to the North with a ferry. best!- Suzanne Neilen5:11 PM
Some time ago there was an discussion here about helmets. I told you no one in the Netherlands wears an helmet. The bike thing is not only in Amsterdam, when you go to other parts of the Netherlands you will see even more bikes.
I always went to school by bike and loved it very much.
In my village the bike have more roads than cars!It's lovely - Caz9:15 PM
Regarding the no helmets thing - studies have shown that the participation rates of cyclists drops considerably when helmet laws are compulsory. In cities like Amsterdam, where there are so many cyclists and drivers watch out for them, the health benefits of so many people cycling outweighs the small health risk of serious injuries from not wearing one.
In Australia, bike helmets are compulsory for all cyclists, and most cities are not as bike friendly as they could be. Many motorists are too impatient and hate cyclists driving on the road, yet often there's no choice. So you wouldn't catch me riding without a helmet in Australia, because the chance of having an accident is too high! But in somewhere like Amsterdam? Oh the joy of not having helmet hair! - Marta11:50 PM
I do love seeing these photos of families all on one bike! Just wish I didn't live in such a hilly city, and that it was more cyclist-friendly (Seattle).
As for helmets--they've been non-negotiable in our household for 20 years. When my husband and I were newly married, he was riding on a well-traveled bike path in a college town. He was hit head-on by another cyclist, thrown over the handle bars, landed on his face and was found unconscious (it was a hit-and-run, believe it or not). Paramedics took him to the hospital, where he received stitches and didn't regain consciousness for four hours. He had a severe concussion. According to the ER physician, it was a good thing he had a helmet on--otherwise, he would have sustained a severe head injury or died.
Needless to say, we always wear helmets. Our anecdotal experience proved to me that it doesn't matter if you're nowhere near a car--other cyclists (as well as pedestrians) can be just as careless and unpredictable. I absolutely love all the photos! You captured Amsterdam in those pictures! I live in Texas but I am from Mexico and in the city where I am from there are lots of bike and motorcycle riders. They also ride with children but in Mexico they ride without baskets or seats, they usually just carry their kids on their laps or sitting on the bike bar. I must say the city isn't half as organized for them and most riders are from low income. In Amsterdam it looks like the middle to upper class ride for the fun of it :-) you gave me an idea so next trip to León, Guanajuato, Mexico I will photograph bike riders and share! :)
ReplyDelete- Nelleke3:25 AM
hi joanna,
how nice to read these amsterdam posts about things that amazed you. living here(i lived in a'dam for 4 years) this is all so normal to me. its good to see the little great things about holland through somebody else's eyes, makes me appreciate it all over again!
ps. the poo-book is one of my kids favorites! there is a version with pull-outs as well, i can recommend it! I'm already excited to see Amsterdam through your eyes! After 9 months of living here, these things feel normal now, but it's so true - the Dutch & their bikes are crazy! I am getting better and better on mine, but still have a long way to go before I eat a sandwich and go for a ride :) It started downpouring on me the other night and I tried to be a cool Amsterdammer and hold an umbrella while biking - yeah.. didn't work out so well as soon as the wind picked up I nearly flew off my bike!! Looking forward to seeing your photos and hearing more about your adventures!
ReplyDelete- Judy6:34 AM
Hi; what a nice post! And it is all true! I live in the Netherlands and what you see in Amsterdam: it also is true for every place in the Netherlands! And the thing about the helmets: yes, we don't wear them. If you see someone cycle with a helmet, it probably is a tourist. It is not a 'bad habit' not wearing one, it is just something we are not used to. In the Netherlands you first learn walking and when you are about three years old you learn how to bike; it is part of our living. Everybody feels very sure and comfortable and we are hardly scared. You can almost compare it when you would wear a helmet while you are driving a car; stupid ;-)
ReplyDelete - Eleonoor7:07 AM
These pictures make me fall in love with my country all over again. I've always said that if I had to give one reason why I love The Netherlands, it's all the biking.
Just last week I won a bet with someone who didn't think I could apply my mascara whilst biking (and whilst having had quite a bit to drink) of course I could! I'm Dutch!
Wonderful pictures! When I lived in Japan, I used to bike everywhere. I thought I would hate it, but ended up loving it, it's so much fun, and you are getting exercise without noticing it. But these pictures are amazing as people are carrying so many kids on the bike with them.
P.S. no one in Japan ever wear a helmet either.I visited the Netherlands for the first time last year, and I brought my foldable bicycle along. I was so glad I decided to travel with it - riding in Amsterdam (and the whole country really) was one of the best cycling experiences I have ever had.
ReplyDeleteI live in Cambridge (UK) and you certainly see people carrying all sorts of things on their bikes - guitars, duvets, groceries hanging off the handle bars... We're awful at wearing helmets too! Naughty of us really.
Cycling is something I think we're really lucky to do here in Cambridge and is one thing I plan on blogging about a bit more often on my new blog... www.randomlyhappytoday.blogspot.co.uk
Thanks again for a great blog.
ElenaWe share a similar biking culture here in Copenhagen and I absolutely LOVE it!! We commute almost daily by bike (I have a modern Trio Bike which has a place for 2-3 kids to sit in the front.) Whether the sun is shining or it's snowing, we are on our bikes! While we visited our family for Christmas in the States, it was so weird to drive everywhere and we really missed our bikes!
ReplyDeleteI love the way non Dutchies look at our crazy bike-life! For us it's just so normal :) I once had two Americain clients and whe we took them out for drinks they had to jump on the back of our bikes. They were scared to death at first but after a few minutes they loved it and claimed it to be one of their best Amsterdam experiences. So when you're in Amsterdam just try it, find a nice Dutch (Guy ;) !) and go for a spin on the back of a bike. It's fun (and barely dangerous, I promise!)
ReplyDeleteWhen I lived in Frankfurt I bought a bike to get around on and it was the best thing I ever did. They have bike lanes on the roads as well there. There's one point where you are riding between two car lanes! Yet, no wears a helmet and I felt completely safe. Now back in Sydney I wouldn't even go on the roads with a bike let alone without a helmet.
ReplyDeleteI LOVED biking in Amersterdam, and all around Holland. When people look at these pictures they don't understand the dedicated lanes there, literally, they are separated from cars, you can turn without any worry of onslaught - its like a whole new biking world. People bike there with their children on the front and without helmets because they are protected and its safe.
ReplyDelete- Edward10:12 AM
The Dutch do not wear helmets because they know that cycling is not a dangerous activity. I do not understand the ridiculous obsession in English-speaking countries with bicycle helmets. More people suffer head injuries from falling off ladders and being tripped up by their pets than they do from falling off bicycles. And there are many more people who suffer head injuries from car accidents. Why is there no call for helmets for those activities? It is ridiculous.
ReplyDelete - Kate9:48 PM
I was there a few years ago and was stunned that I don't think I saw one single person wearing a helmet. Truth be told I thought that was kind of cool. I also noticed how nobody made a big deal if they had a close call with someone - no screaming or cursing or middle fingers. Just a nonchalant *ring ring* of the bell and on with their day. Totally different from the east coast, that's for sure!
ReplyDelete - Anonymous5:13 PM
Even considering how safe it is over there for bikes, it is dumb not to wear a helmet. A single fall can simply kill a child or give you/them brain damage for the rest of your life. Accidents happen, and a helmet would save lifes. I would not take even a small chance of killing myself or my children by just thinking its unfasionable to wear a helmet.
ReplyDeleteRepliesIt's not just that it's unfashionable though. I live in a small town not very far from Amsterdam, and I'm in my last year of high school. I have to cycle 13 km to get to school each day (and then I have to cycle back again at the end of the day). Most kids go to school on their bikes. There's just wouldn't be enough space to store all those helmets if everybody wore them (Dutch schools have really small lockers, much smaller than they have in the States). That means we'd have to carry our helmets around all the time, and that would just be impractical.
It's not just schools, either. Going shopping while carrying a helmet with you? I don't really think that'd work.
My boyfriend lived in Holland for a while and this post reminded me of all the times I used to ride sideways on the back of his bike. It was so much fun, but your friend is right, it really is uncomfortable and I always felt so sorry for him when he had to cycle up hills, I'd just cheer him on from my little perch!
ReplyDeleteHi Joanna,
Very nice to read about how you experienced Amsterdam while staying in my houseboat. It is true we ride bikes like crazy. I especially had a gigle about all the comments on how people thing we are dumb not wearing helmets. I guess they're right ....
We are a stubborn little country and I welcome all the people who come and enjoy our quirkiness.
Glad you enjoyed your stay, keep travelling!
Wends- Anonymous5:32 PM
When I lived in Colorado, my friends and I alternated between rollarblading, walking, and riding our bikes to school, without helmets; we only lived about half a mile away from our elementary and middle schools, which were across the street from each other.
I felt independent, travelling to and from school without my parents.
Now, as an adult, I wear a helmet whenever I ride my bike because drivers drive their cars in a dangerous manner and I don't want to be killed by them. That is a vary great and stunning ideas you given , i really like your ideas if you like to send it to gifts to Pakistan to your relatives and love once .cheap prom dresses
ReplyDeleteLove your phot's & blog! So nice to read you were in Amsterdam. I hope you liked it.
I live in Amsterdam and honestly, I think it's pretty stupid to bike around with your kids without a helmet on. Especially very little ones! It's true, bikers do make the rules, but a car or a van is always bigger, harder, faster & stronger so in the end, the one on the bike will pay the price. Many people get killed on their bike in this city, also kids. Please dear parents, buy your kids helmets!!

Re: Is mama melrose any good?
Good question!
I've got to set the way-back machine since it's been a few years since my DW and I did either of these but here's what I can remember.
First of all, they were both good. At least the last time we were there. At the time we went, Mama Melrose's had a grilled prime rib that was about the best thing I ever put in my mouth. But that was then, and this is now. So, here's what I can recall.
The Brown Derby was quite a bit more formal while Mama Melrose's had a more relaxed, laid back atmosphere to it. The Brown Derby cuisine seems to cater more toward things like steak whereas Mama Melrose's is of course, Italian.
Also, keep in mind that if you're on the dining plan, the Brown Derby is considered signature dining and will cost you 2 table service credits per person whereas Mama Melrose's is only one.
Hope this helps. At least some.

Re: Is mama melrose any good?
We have not eaten at Mama Melrose in many years. The one time we did eat there we weren't impressed and haven't been back. It appears that it can be either hit or miss. Some love it, some hate it, and some think it is OK.
Brown Derby, in it's day, was a top line restaurant, not only at DHS but also in Hollywood. The one in Hollywood has long ago shuttered its doors. The food at the one at WDW had IMHO gone quickly down hill and the only thing worth ordering, to me at least was the Cobb Salad. So, that said, we decided to venture into the Brown Derby at lunch in October, ostensibly for the Cobb Salad. We ended up ordering several appetizers to go with it and were suitably impressed. We relayed to our server that we normally avoided BD like the plague and told her why. She sent a manager over to us. We had a lovely chat about how they had brought in a new chef and that he had reinvigorated the menu. We are looking forward to trying it again for dinner on one of our trips.

Re: Is mama melrose any good?
That's good information and just goes to show how important the chef is to the overall success of the venue.
A given restaurant may be bad one time and excellent at a later date all because of a change in the chef. But sadly, without first hand reports, we have no way of knowing if that's the case.

10 Week 13 statistics that will blow your mind
- Published: Nov. 28, 2012 at 04:24 p.m.
- Updated: Nov. 28, 2012 at 10:11 p.m.
Mark Twain once wrote that there are three kinds of lies: Lies, damned lies and statistics. Of course, Twain never met the researchers who came up with these 10 mind-blowing Week 13 stats.
Arian Foster
Arian Foster's 12 rushing touchdowns are more than the combined rushing TD totals of the Jacksonville Jaguars (3), Oakland Raiders (3), St. Louis Rams (3) and Green Bay Packers (2).
Aaron Rodgers
Through 11 games, Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has been sacked 37 times this season, most in the NFL, and more than he was sacked in all of 2011 (36). Rodgers has also thrown more interceptions this season (7) than he did last season (6).
Ben Roethlisberger
How big has Big Ben Roethlisberger been for the Pittsburgh Steelers? With him starting, the Steelers were converting 49.6 percent of their third downs (best in the NFL). In games without Roethlisberger starting, the Steelers are converting 23.1 percent of their third downs (29th in NFL).
Indianapolis Colts vs Detroit Lions
The last time the Detroit Lions beat the Indianapolis Colts was on Nov. 23, 1997. In that game, Lions running back Barry Sanders had 24 rushes for 216 yards and two touchdowns. NFL Network's Marshall Faulk -- then playing for the Colts -- had 83 yards from scrimmage. Current San Francisco 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh was the Colts' quarterback in that game, which was won by the Lions 32-10.
Baltimore Ravens
The Baltimore Ravens -- who face the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 13 -- have won their last 12 games within the division, a streak that dates back to 2010. They have outscored their AFC North opponents by more than 11 points per game during the win streak.
New England Patriots
When it comes to turning it on during the season's stretch drive, no team has been better in the last two seasons than the New England Patriots. The Patriots are a perfect 19-0 in games played in the second half of the season since 2010.
Andy Dalton, Peyton Manning, Dan Marino
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton is one of three players in NFL history to have 20-plus touchdown passes in his first two seasons, joining Dan Marino and Peyton Manning.
Phillies - Eagles
Think it has been a long time since the Philadelphia Eagles have won a game? This nugget puts their two-month run of ineptitude into proper perspective: Baseball's Phillies have won more recently that the Eagles. While the Eagles' last won on Sept. 30 (a 19-17 triumph over the New York Giants), the Phillies' last win came on Oct. 1 (a 2-0 victory over the Washington Nationals).
Robert Griffin III
Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III has the highest completion percentage (67.5) among rookies through Week 12 since 1960 (based on a minimum of 14 attempts per game).
Jacquizz Rodgers and Michael Turner
Atlanta Falcons running back Michael Turner is the only player in the NFL with 150 carries who is averaging less than 3.6 yards per rush. Teamate Jacquizz Rodgers is averaging 3.9 yards per rush in 2012, but has never had more than 10 rushes in an NFL game. Perhaps the running backs can improve on those totals. The Falcons' Week 13 opponent -- the New Orleans Saints -- have allowed 5,003 yards through 11 games, the most total yards allowed through 11 games since 1940.

Golden moment: VRFA welcomes new fire marshal
January 14, 2013 · Updated 2:17 PM
Norm Golden, the newly appointed Valley Regional Fire Authority fire marshal, began his duties Jan. 1.
Golden was promoted to the position of fire marshal after an extensive testing and interview process. His two decades of experience as a firefighter and captain, combined with his extensive educational background and professional certifications, make him uniquely qualified for the position.
"Norm possesses a strong work ethic and has proven to be a very innovative thinker," said VRFA Administrator Eric Robertson. "I look forward to his leadership and continued development of a critical unit in our organization."
Golden is looking forward to the challenge.
"My immediate goal is to work with the other divisions within the organization to continue the VRFA's strong commitment to customer service," he said. "I want to focus on building relationships with the local businesses and gaining voluntary code compliance in lieu of resorting to enforcement action."
Golden was hired as a firefighter by the legacy Auburn Fire Department on Oct. 1, 1992, and was promoted to captain in 1999. He served as a shift fire investigator for several years, has been a certified fire inspector, and spent a considerable portion of his fire service career involved with emergency medical services.
Golden earned a professional master of business administration degree and Juris doctorate degree from Seattle University.

Comments about HearthSong Mystery Fairy Ball:
My daughters love fairies and sparkly bouncy balls so I thought this was the perfect combo. It has sparkles but the ball itself is 2 spheres glued together so 1/2 is sparkly & 1/2 contains stationary fairy image & opalescent liquid. The two sides don't mix together. The light inside hasn't worked from the start so we've never gotten to see how it looks lit up. Not happy with it but it was inexpensive so I guess I shouldn't have expected more.

This is one of my favorite things!! The fairy is so pretty, love the glitter and pearl colors, and it lights up when it bounces!!! It's a great gift or Bday favor. I even bought one for myself.... It sits in a little dish beside my makeup mirror! I love starting the day believing in fairies:) A must have if you ask me!!!

In the funniest 'Sexy And I Know It'-related sports news since the Miami Heat celebrated the douchiest NBA Championship win in history by rapping with LMFAO, the offensive linemen of Louisiana Tech have uploaded a video of themselves dancing and lip syncing to the pop hit/M&M's anthem while what I'm assuming are webcam-supplied lights flash above them. It's exactly the kind of thing you record when you find out your new computer has Photo Booth, and I'm happy they put it on the Internet.

Video is after the jump. I'm pretty excited for this time next year when 'Gangnam Style' finally finds its way to Louisiana.

Stop boxes in front of DT 50 1x12 combo
Like (0)
I am a DT 50 and HD 500 owner. With the new firmware update for the amp I am thinking about running my set up a bit differently. I am messing with the HD unit as a midi controler as well as effects no pre-amps or amp models. I am wondering how the DT responds to overdrive units ie: tube driver, tube screamer in front of the amp. Has any one done this at all?
The DTs work like any other amp with stomp boxes in front of it. I have a POD HD 500 and I am using a separate Tube Screamer and a 535Q Wah in front of one or both. Since I always put those in every patch, I have them available all the time and free up the DSP in the POD for more delays and pitch shifting.
Here's my problem..... the POD works as a midi controler but only for individual foot switches. I have not been able to make the POD change amps on the DT when you change a preset on the POD. So for example: you would store a whole combiniation of fx and maybe use the POD HD in 4 cable mode with no amp selected so you want each preset on the POD to change the amp setting on the DT. It doesn't work, however. Or at least, I could not get it to work. The L6 link makes midi changes on the DT but I can only assign individual switches on the POD to send midi messages or even multiple messages.
Anyone have a solution for this?
Sean Halley uses a HD 500 simularly on his rig using a 4 cable method and a Bogner Duende. As i watched the video it seemed he was able to change the amp configuration with the midi control within the HD 500
I was wondering if the amp liked pedals. Some amps don't I dont have any drive pedals at this time so I guess I'll borrow a few and play around with it.
I guess I should say that the DT amps are actually 30 amps. Some of them may "like" drive pedals and some may not. It's an amp like any other amp. I guess I just don't understand why people think it's some kind of annomoly that reacts differently.
Stay in the mix and in the know.

Hi Aipi-I left a comment a few minutes ago, and I'm not sure if it will appear, because I clicked over without seeing that it will be approved by the author.
You're so right, 2010 went by in a flash, and here we are, starting a new year.
Thank you for being my friend throughout the last few months, since I only started my blog a little over 6 month ago.
I adored all your beautiful and scrumptious dishes, and desserts you've managed to captivate us with, and keep promising to myself that I will make some of them...in the meantime, just trying to stay with my own.
May the new year bring you everything your heart desires, in health, prosperity, and happiness!
