Hahaha cool I have a similar picture :-) made in Schiedam Holland. It's a strange thing though knitting your bike ;-)
@bobby_sekeris This one was standing in front of a knitting and sewing shop. But finding one somewhere else is a strange thing indeed! :)

Old Logger's Path |
The Old Logger's Path is quickly becoming one of the most
popular backpacking venues in the Keystone State. This 28.8 mile
long (Some references, including the State Forest map, has the
distance at 27.3 miles.) Is composed mostly of old logging
railroad grades and haul roads interconnected by strategically
placed foot trails. It's official start and end is at the old
ghost town of Masten. If you use that as a location you can use
any of the on-line mapware programs to get you there. The
highlights of the loop are the many vistas, Pleasant Stream,
Yellow Dog Run and, most of all, Rock Run and the gorge it has
carved through the rocks through the millenniums. There are
campsites at most stream crossings but the best are along
Pleasant Run and at the confluence of Yellow Dog Run and Rock
Run. If you don't have the time to do the entire thing or just
want something shorter use the old railroad grade that connects
the east and west sections as a cross-connector. The northern
loop is about 21 miles long. The southern loop is about 13 miles
in length.
Note: This
connector can become overgrown in the summer and difficult to
Note: The trailhead is at the large brown and white sign at the site of the old logging town. |
Travel Note: As of the above revision date a 3 mile portion of Pleasant Stream Road is temporarily closed for repair. If approaching the trailhead from the west one has the option of parking just before the barricades near Short Run and walking back on the road a few yards to pick up the OLP on the south side of the road. If hiking clockwise you will be about 11.5 miles south of the Rock Run Campsite. There is another campsite on Doe Run if you want a shorter first day. ________________________________________ |

Trail Notes: The entire trail is blazed orange with arrows noting change of directions. Watch out for these as the route constantly jumps from one grade to another and it's easy to walk by a footpath with obvious blazes if you are , shall we say, engaged in conversation or perhaps letting your mind wonder. It's easy to do here. Believe me. From the trailhead proceed east on Pleasant Stream Road. Cross the stream on a bridge. In 0.64 miles from the beginning turn right off of the road onto a footpath. Climb steeply for a short distance to the first of many railroad grades. Turn left onto the grade, traveling east still. In about 0.5 miles you'll turn right and climb to yet another grade. Turn right again, traveling west. The grade will slowly climb and curve around the mountain in a more south-easterly direction. Descend and cross an old woods road at 3.13 miles from first joining the grades at Pleasant Stream Road. In another 0.14 miles cross a gravel road, jogging to the left a bit and proceeding down a driveway. Almost immediately the trail leaves the driveway to the right. Watch for the blazes. In 0.58 miles descend to the spur trail on the left for the Sproul Point vista. After checking out the views continue your descent crossing gravel Cascade Road in 0.92 miles after the vista. In another 1.28 miles the trail will cross a stream and bear left onto another railroad grade. There is a nice campsite here. Shortly after turning onto this grade turn right onto a footpath and begin a steady, long climb. In 0.8 miles reach another grade. Turn left onto it and follow it out to John Merrell Road and Sharp Point Vista. After taking in the views here proceed west on the road leaving it to the left in about 0.33 miles. Descend on a narrow piece of sidehill trail. The footing is tricky here and the slope to your left is very steep. In 0.27 miles cross the road and pick up another railroad grade. In 1.61 miles arrive at Pleasant Stream. There is a nice campsite before the ford and more on the other side. This is a good place to call it night. |
After successfully crossing the stream find a campsite to the right. There is also a spur trail which I think leads to more sites. In a short distance climb up to another railroad grade. Going right will take you back to your car. Turn left here if completing the entire circuit. In 0.94 miles turn right off of the grade and arrive at Pleasant Stream Road. Turn left on the road, cross Long Run on a bridge and immediately turn right onto the continuation of the trail. Here the trail picks up another grade and follows it up Long Run. The trail will leave the grade, as you descend to the run and climb up to the other side to another grade. The trail is blazed in both directions for some reason. Turn left here continuing upstream. In 1.18 miles from Pleasant Stream Road the grade meets the run. There is a small campsite here on and island. Cross the stream and turn downstream for just a few steps towards the camp to pick up the continuation of the trail on the other side. The trail continues upstream from here and soon comes to a large fern clearing. Turn left onto a footpath and climb steeply for 0.73 miles to the first of many vistas on Sullivan Mountain. This one isn't obvious. You have to slide between some mountain laurel to get to it. In another 0.61 miles there is an even grander vista and yet another in another 0.77 miles. In between there are other "partial" views. In 1.2 miles from the last vista turn right onto gravel Ellenton Road. Follow it for 0.33 miles and turn left onto another trail. Follow a railroad grade for 1.61 miles to a nice campsite on Doe Run. Shortly after passing the camp the trail crosses the run and follows its northern bank westward for a while before turning northeast again. In 1.07 miles from Doe Run come to a blue blazed spur trail on the left. Follow it for a tremendous view of the Rock Run Drainage. Continue on the Old Logger Path. In 0.36 miles cross a gas line swath.. After this crossing the trail descends for 0.58 miles to yellow Dog Road. Bear right onto the road and follow it for 0.22 miles. Turn left onto a footpath that runs into another grade. Follow it for 1.48 miles to the confluence of Yellow Dog Run and Rock Run. There is a large campsite here but even more places for tents on the other side of Yellow Run. This has got to be one of the best places to camp in all of PA. Enjoy the falls, chutes, swimming holes and water-sculpted rocks. The initial part of the grade appears to be constantly wet from a seep coming down from the hill. This only lasts for about 30 yards. Rock Run is very scenic but the trail leaves the streamside grade way too early. You might want to bushwhack further up the stream to visit some of what few have take the time to see. Climb steeply up a footpath to join another grade that is higher up the mountain. Eventually the trail will assume a very slight upward pitch but the climb up to it can be a bit challenging. In 4.25 miles from camp the trail will come out to what appears to be a frequently used logging road. Turn right onto it. In 0.15 miles turn left onto a footpath. Follow this a short distance to once again join Ellenton Road. Turn left here but when the road splits turn right onto another road. This is part of blue blazed Cherry Ridge Trail and is signed as such. Follow the road for 0.45 miles and turn left onto a footpath that quickly joins another railroad grade. In 1.21 miles arrive at a nice but dry campsite. Shortly after this the trail crosses a seasonal stream and in 0.43 miles arrives at Pleasant Stream Road once again. Turn left here and in a few yards arrive back at your car.

Critique: We
did this as a two day fast and light backpacking trip over Labor
Day Weekend - loved it, even though it rained like crazy one of
the days! Didn't see the road to Masten was out until we tried
to drive in on it Friday night. Luckily, the detour was easy to
follow. ________________________________________
Date: 05/24/14 Rating: 5 Critique: We did this as a 3 day backpack over the Memorial Day Weekend, really enjoyed it, great views and streams, weather was mostly great except for a brief thunderstorm the first night. Pleasant Stream Road is passable IF and only IF you have AWD and decent ground clearance, our vehicle was a Toyota RAV 4 and we talked with another group who drove a Subaru Outback along the road, should not be attempted in a normal road car as there is a short "home made" detour where the creek washed the road out, it's only about 30 yards long but is very rough, with rocks and deep pot holes which would ground a road car, we scraped once but made it through. Plenty of water along the trail, mostly in good shape but some blow downs to get around/over/under. The beginning at Masten is a little confusing because it's hard to tell what direction you're going, we initally thought we were doing the loop clockwise, turned out we were going counter-clockwise, doesn't really matter that much but it would be nice if DCNR could put up a sign giving an indication of which way to go for each direction around the loop. There are also many more campsites than are listed on the map, although some don't have water. ________________________________________ Name: Chris R. Hike: Old Loggers Path Date(s): 04/12 to 13/14 Rating: 3 Critique: THE BRIDGE AT MASTEN HAS NOW BEEN REPAIRED. I wanted to inform hikers that the bridge is rebuilt. Pleasant stream road is still closed to traffic from around Masten for about 3 miles west to about Short run. According to the ranger at Hillsgrove, it is open for hikers to make a loop out of the southern or northern loop, but is undrivable. The road is now in the process of being repaired as well. Attached is a picture of the bridge if needed. Heading counterclockwise from Masten, there is a nice break spot at a campsite off to the right of the trail about a mile or so before the intersection of Rock Run and Yellow dog run. We discovered a seeping water fall below the small cliff below the campsite which was a pleasant surprise. After teaming up with a group of 6 guys from south Jersey we headed out to Rock Run for a one night loop hike. Due to time we made a small loop using Old Loggers Path clockwise from Masten to Rock Run/Yellow dog run. Then returned to Masten via Old loggers Path to Ellenton Road, to Short Run trail, Cherry Ridge trail back to Old Loggers path. It took about 3 1/2 hours to hike back from Rock Run campsite. Note: If you plan on arriving late into Masten contact the Hillsgrove Ranger Station off of Rt. 87 to get a camping permit in the C.C.C camp prior to getting going the next morning. ________________________________________ Name: Ryan Hike: Old loggers Path Date(s): 09/13/13 Rating: 4
Critique: We did
the upper loop and cut across Pleasant Stream Road (21.5 miles). Very
well maintained trail, blazes were freshly painted and someone very
recent was doing trail work since most of the brush was freshly cut with
shears. All the inclines are quite gradual and the vista's are quite
nice. We ended up camping at popular swimming hole. The water carves out
great swimming holes and the camp sites were quite large. The weather
was cooler this weekend and jumping in the water was not an option, but
would really like to check this out next summer for. Overall a nice
trail and had limited traffic. Our GPX can be downloaded from here.

Critique: Hard Core,
Wooly Bully, Ted E. Bear and Shortstack did the OLP in the heat, thunder
(but no rain during the day) weekend. We first stopped at the Forest
Ranger Station at Hillgrove, PA to get information regarding parking at
Masten Road, since the websites indicated the bridge was out and
possible road closures. We parked at the campsite along Masten Road as
directed by the Forest Service. There is parking just past campsite E,
where the Forest Service mowed a small field for OLP backpackers/hikers�
parking. Although the Park Service directed us to this parking area, we
did not think to ask, and they did not advise us, how to get to the
trailhead since the bridge across Pleasant Stream is gone and a new one
is under construction (see photo). We planned to do the loop clockwise
and wanted to cross the river to get to the trailhead using

While watching the lengthy spaceship dogfight that began the season 4 premiere of Battlestar Galactica, I realized one big reason I like this series: It rarely has lengthy spaceship dogfights. All that special-effects zapping as the heroes maneuver amid a hail of um, what, exactly? Laser rays? Glowing bullets? intercut with shots of our heroes encased in a TV studio somewhere, grimacing heroically while pretending to avoid being blasted by a Cylon attack? Boy, is that ever boring. I mean, it's like science fiction or something.
No, I watch Battlestar for three basic reasons: the marvelously pseudo-deep moral/philosophical/religious quandaries; the off chance that Edward James Olmos' Admiral Adama will change his stony-faced expression; and watching James Callis' Gaius Baltar fail to suppress his perpetual state of horny self-absorption.
So far, Battlestar now, alas, in its final season has paid off on two out of three. (Come on, Olmos, you have a grim grin in you somewhere!) Baltar has certainly come through for me. Here's a craven, ambitious, disgraced, yet irresistible horndog who manages to retain the interest of both the slinky-red-dress version of Cylon Number Six (Tricia Helfer) and a groupie eager to be groped by Baltar even while imploring him to save the life of a dying child. A British accent drives the girls wild no matter what galaxy you're in.
As for Battlestar morality, four regular characters (Michael Hogan's Tigh, Rekha Sharma's Tory, Michael Trucco's Anders, and Aaron Douglas' Tyrol) discovered last season that they're really Cylons, and possibly sleepers with one more to be revealed, thus completing the much-bruited ''final five.'' Now they're grappling with what it means to be the enemy they'd been fighting. It's as if you woke up and discovered you'd inherited the Spencer Pratt gene.
I daresay I'm in the minority on this, but I could do with less Starbuck; Katee Sackhoff's permanent air of disgruntled self-righteousness grows dreary. And I hope that the new season boosts Battlestar's best subplot: the gloriously loony mythology that predicts the path to Earth via the Arrow of Apollo, the Eye of Jupiter, the Tomb of Athena, and I think I saw this in some homemade webisode the Temple of Aretha Franklin. Battlestar is never more enjoyable than when Mary McDonnell's President Laura Roslin is spouting this stuff to a dubious but smitten Adama.
The series' brilliant conceit is that enemies are often sane and rational, and many good guys and gals are obsessed, flawed, and ruthless. Forget sci-fi: That's the world we've always lived in, made futuristic and shiny. With laser beams. A-

Mario Draghi came out of the gate swinging a powerful punch during his first meeting with EU officials as the European Central Bank's (ecb's) new president. He immediately moved to enact a change in eurozone interest rates (something his predecessor, Claude Trichet, had refused to do), dropping the EU benchmark rate by 25 basis points to 1.25 percent, and also cutting marginal lending rates to 2 percent and the deposit rate to 0.5 percent.
This was the latest shocker in a volatile week for financial markets in Europe, the effects of which continue to ripple around the globe. But this time, after receiving a battering from confusing signals coming out of Greece, the markets reacted positively.

text: If I remember correctly, Dreamflight was about the history of flight, part of it took you inside a plane and the part in buzz lightyear with the revolving lights was like the jet engine you go into. When you are going thru that tunnel shaped screen, I can't remember what is on it in Buzz, but in DF it looked like a runway and you were "taking off". Kinda boring, but it was a good place to relax b/c there was never a line.

As they sat on the steps of the old girls' home behind Wildwood Avenue Church of God of Prophecy, memories spilled out about the days in the orphanage. Linda Barlow, who was in the orphanage from 1957-1969, actually found her name and height measurement written on the wall in the home's basement, which recalled more memories, since the dining hall for the girls was in the basement.
The house is now in disrepair, but Linda was able to recognize the place in the living room the piano sat where she took music lessons from the late Mildred Davis. Mrs. Davis made regular trips from Chattanooga, where her husband served as church pastor, to give the orphanage children piano lessons.
Tommy Barlow, a retired pastor, and brother Chuck Barlow also recalled taking music lessons. Tommy continued with his love of music, taking care to stay surrounded with sounds of singing and instruments. He sang in a trio for several years.
He graduated from Cleveland High School and after he left the orphanage, joined the Marines in 1962. He lives in Kirksville, Mo., and enjoys his two "sons" — the canine variety, 5 and 7.
Chuck lives in Jones, Okla., with his new wife, Shirley. Together, they have three children and five grandchildren. For the last 10 or 12 years, he has worked for a produce company.
Chuck was an usher at Susie's wedding to Walter Lofton. She recalled how the children would have a special place to sit when they went to the Assembly in the old Central Avenue Tabernacle. She laughed as she told about the boy who sat with his family near them. He had a funny way of clapping his hands, much to the enjoyment of the children. It was after she married that she noticed her husband clapped his hands the same way, "so could it have been him?"
Linda moved to New York City (The Bronx), upon leaving Tomlinson Home and married. She has two daughters. Her husband died in 2003 but she serves as a foster parent of special needs children.
Another sister, Judy, who became ill with diabetes, is deceased.
Susie was one of three children whose mother and dad divorced, and so the children went to live with an aunt in Dalton, Ga. Their dad lived with his unmarried sisters — one with cancer. When the aunt could no longer care for the children, the two older children, Margaret, 5, and Johnny, 4, were admitted to Tomlinson Home for Children. Susie was too young since the home couldn't accept babies.
But when she got older, she actually ran away to be with her sibling — "I was desperate to be with my sister," she said — and her dad consented for her to live in the home. Her sister left the home at 17, so Linda and Susie, both 10, became "sisters."
"We adopted each other," she said. Susie did have a pet all her own — she carried her pet bird with her. Pets weren't exactly allowed, but stray dogs were occasionally adopted by the children and cared for.
At the home, the girls had their daily chores for morning, noon and evening. Susie's and Linda's jobs were to clean the inside stairs from the first floor to the basement, and empty wastebaskets from the bedrooms.
Her first houseparent was Alice Wengar. Susie remembers one night a man broke into the house through the basement and couldn't find his way out. Wengar ran through the girls' home yelling, "Man in the house!"
After that Wengar left and the girls were between houseparents for a while, so temporary houseparents looked after them, including the Jack Wilkersons, the C.R. Paynes, the John Walters and the Omer Davises.
In the early 1960s, Pearline Williams arrived, and she served until 1964. The first permanent husband and wife team were Grady and Donna Smalley, who stayed until 1966 and were followed by the Haygoods.
The children attended Tomlinson Memorial School, but when it closed at the end of Susie's seventh-grade year, she started at public school. She went to Allen Elementary School in the eighth grade, and began high school (ninth grade) at Cleveland High School in its first year. It was the also the first year the school played the Bradley Bears, "and they beat the socks off of us," she said.
Susie started trying to find her "sisters and brothers" about six months ago, and finally made contact, but "they didn't have a clue," she said.
"Susie who?" was the question. When She learned the Barlows were going to North Carolina for a family reunion, she persuaded them to stop by Cleveland.
"After all these years," she said, "it was so wonderful to get back together and share experiences."
Several others joined them for a dinner at the Golden Corral the next day, including Diane Strickland, Donna Link, Sharon White, Jimmy Rogers, John Cassidy and his wife Martha, and Rama Gonia and her father Winston Gonia, who served as pastor of the Wildwood Church during her stay in the home.
They talked about counting coupons for the orphanage home — once there was a barrel full of spaghetti coupons which took days and days to count. They remembered how the churches would have "penny" marches to raise money for the Tomlinson Home for Children. And they were always glad to see visitors to the homes because usually they gave the children money or brought gifts.
They agreed, "We appreciated the church people for the help they gave," recalling the storehouse full of groceries and, one time — the numerous boxes of Tide stored everywhere. One shoe company in Tennessee each year always sent shoes for everyone.
But Susie's most vivid memory concerned school. It was the one time she didn't study for a scheduled test. After the papers were graded, the teacher told the class, "There was one person who failed the test. What do you think their punishment should be?"
Susie quickly spoke up and said, "I think you should give him a whipping." The class was asked if everyone agreed. They did.
"Guess who had failed the test."

FBI Fears Driverless Cars Will Be Used For Freeway Shootouts
Thursday, July 17, 2014
(Undated) -- The FBI is worried that Google's driverless cars will become tools of the criminals' trade. The Bureau is concerned that criminals will use the cars for freeway shootouts and car chases. The FBI commissioned a report that says the driverless cars will open up greater possibilities for a car to be "more of a potential lethal weapon than it is today." The FBI worries that criminals might hack the cars to override their safety features and that terrorists could program the cars to drive loaded with bombs.

BMW i3 continues to shed camo as it whirs silently toward production
While BMW was parading around its high-concept i3 Coupe at the LA Auto Show this year, the engineers and test drivers have been hard at work honing the real deal on the mean streets of, well, someplace European.
This is the same basic tester that we've seen in previous sets of spied images, though showing a bit more skin than in past outings. BMW has removed some of the obfuscating fake body panels from the i3, giving us a clearer view of the small car's taught and rather complex surfacing. Further, we've got a much better idea of what the production car's "face" will look like now, as the headlights have been somewhat less completely taped over, showing us the swept shape of the lenses.
The vehicle seen here is reportedly the range-extended Hybrid, rather than the pure EV. This car supposedly has a 600cc two-cylinder engine to sooth driver's minds on long trips, and improve on the electric car's presumed 100-mile (160 km) range.

Costume Information
Description | |
I noticed Zelda and Raye-chan have planned to do Hubert and Pascal's school uniform. And seeing as I adore Cheria, when Zelda asked if she could convince me to do Cheria's uniform, I wasn't going to say no! Also hoping to get kadaj006 to do Asbel's school uniform (I say that.... if I make it, he'll wear it XD) The hardest part of this costume that I can foresee is actually going to be finding the right fabric to make the skirt out of!! |
Possible Skirt Fabric (Posted 17th February 2013) After a quick check around this internet I have managed to find a fabric that I could consider using for this skirt. |

GetJar: We've given away $1 million worth of premium apps
Independent app store GetJar said today that it had given away $1 million worth of pay applications through its Gold program.
That equates to roughly 500,000 apps at an average price of $2 an app given away since the program started earlier this month.
GetJar is just one of many alternative app stores that have sprung up catering to Android and other smartphone platforms. Its most well known rival, beyond Android Marketplace, would be Amazon's app store. The app stores cater to developers who are increasingly looking to other avenue for distribution and revenue opportunities.

It would be so cool if we could order extra box inserts like the ones used in Arkham and Talisman. Or maybe if FFG would produce some generic ones that would fit most purposes?

Generic box inserts...that sounds like a pretty good idea. And what about making the game boxes slightly oversized when you anticipate introducing expansions later? I like to consolidate all my game stuff into a single box if possible but with many games the boxes get too crowded. Alternatively, perhaps the expansion boxes can be sized so that they can hold the expansion PLUS the original game contents.

To incorporate the pink pralines into the shortbread I whizzed them up in the food processor to a coarse powder. I will warn you now that if you give this a go it will make a terrible racket, the neighbours must have wondered what on Earth I was doing! The pralines need a good 5 minutes or so on full power to pulverise them, of course this depends on how powerful your machine is and the sharpness of the blade. I still ended up with a few chunks but this is fine for a bit of extra texture.
The good news is that when baked into shortbread the pink pralines now taste good, the food colouring after taste is toned down by the biscuit dough and they come out a pretty pink colour. You don't need to go to France to buy pink pralines, there are several places selling them online. This is good news for me as I only have a few left in the packet and I want to make this shortbread again, and one day I will make the pink praline tart too.
Ingredients - makes around 24 depending on cutter size
150g pink pralines
100g caster sugar
200g butter
300g plain flour
- Preheat the oven to 180C
- In a food processor whizz the pink pralines to a coarse powder then transfer to a bowl
- Add the sugar, butter and flour to the processor and whizz until you get a sandy texture, return the pralines to the processor and keep processing until a dough ball forms. Turn of the processor and bring the dough together by hand.
- Roll out on a lightly floured surface to just under 1cm thick and cut out shapes. I used a 7cm flower shaped cutter.
- Transfer to a non stick baking tray or a tray lined with greasproof paper and bake for 15 minutes until just firm to the touch. Cool on a wire rack.

[Correction: An earlier version of this column inaccurately stated that Gazet van Antwerpen was a Dutch paper. Antwerp is in Belgium. Not by much, but still...I just lost the blue piece in Trivial Pursuit.]
Every few years (typically around the time of the Olympics), this story makes the rounds about why cyclocross isn't in the winter Olympics.
The thinking goes: cyclocross is a discipline in an already-recognized sport, cycling. It takes place in winter. It's been around for decades, and has strong support in Europe and the United States. Sometimes, there's a twist: the International Olympic Committee is considering adding cyclocross!
With the Sochi Olympics just around the corner, and cyclocross season in full swing, it's perfect timing to revisit the subject, as the Belgian paper Gazet van Antwerpen (GvA) did with a report that UCI officials will meet with the IOC to discuss adding cyclocross to the Olympic program. This has caused considerable excitement, including in the US.
There are a number of hurdles, if you'll pardon the pun. The Olympic slate is already crowded; the IOC has made no secret of its desire to reduce, rather than add, to the range of sports and events that the Games has.
Another problem is cyclocross's extremely regional popularity. It's huge in parts of Europe, but cue up a video from Sunday's World Cup round in Rome and you'll see that big crowds in Zolder, Belgium, don't exactly translate to the Campanelle hippodrome.
This isn't by itself a dealbreaker; the Winter Olympics are composed of lots of regionally popular sports—and in fact the whole winter edition in general is pretty exclusive of the southern hemisphere altogether—but it's something to consider.
Finally, there is the IOC rulebook itself, which limits winter Olympic sports to those practiced on ice or snow. Sure, 'cross races are run in snow, but unlike other winter Olympic sports, it's not a prerequisite condition.
But hope springs eternal; perhaps cyclocross's growing popularity in the United States will convince the IOC to change the rules; perhaps new UCI president Brian Cookson will be able to steer the sport where his predecessors couldn't; perhaps, as investors love to say, this time it's different.
I realize this may put me in the minority, but honestly I don't care if 'cross ever gets in the Olympics. In a way, I hope it doesn't.
Peter van den Abeele, the UCI's mountain bike and cyclocross coordinator, told GvA that the Games could help 'cross grow; he said when mountain biking was added to the summer Olympics in 1996, the number of countries competing at the UCI world championships increased dramatically.
Which is funny, because if you talk to a lot of old hands in the mountain bike world, those 1996 Atlanta Games were kind of a high water mark. In the 1990s, mountain bike racing was the place to be. Road racers were converting to the sport for better contracts, races were popular for riders and fans, and the sport was growing every year.
Whether entry to the Olympics was a cause or coincidence, the sport has struggled ever since. And either way, it makes clear that inclusion in the Olympics doesn't somehow guarantee popularity.
Nor is van den Abeele's hope for more funding realistic. The idea is that, if cyclocross becomes an Olympic sport, it will release a sudden windfall of national Olympic committee money in countries around the world. The reality is something different.
For 2010-2012, the last year budget figures were available, the USOC has given annual grants of roughly $1 million to USA Cycling. That's about 10 percent of USAC's budget. That grant, by the way, covers the USOC's contribution for road, track, mountain bike, and BMX, all of which are Olympic disciplines for men and women.
Add cyclocross and you'll get, what, another 150 grand? If that. This, again, is in the United States, home to one of the wealthiest national Olympic committees in the world. How much money do you think cyclocross will add to the pot in, say, Chile?
Will it make cyclocross more popular? Possibly. But cyclocross's popularity is, as I noted earlier, locally variable, even within Europe. And, the growth of 'cross in relatively newer markets like the United States has been entirely organic; there's no singular event or personality that drove interest, so it's not clear if being in the Olympics would really help that or if, for most people, it will remain an oddity on the level of ice dancing or curling.
Mountain bike racing participation appears to have peaked, both in terms of licensees and van den Abeele's metric of the number of nations represented at World Championships. BMX racing, added to the Olympics in 2008, has seen significant growth in some countries, but has not expanded globally in since 2010.
What you do get with the Olympics is lots of rules. Already, the UCI has had a rep for being hopelessly pedantic about certain elements of cyclocross (especially courses, which are highly regulated down to the height of barriers, dimensions on sand pits and the length of the paved sections).
The Olympics themselves, of course, excel in rules and also rule-based hypocrisy. See Rule 40, which limits an athlete's right to license his own name and likeness during the Games and is so draconian that, should Shaun White win the snowboard halfpipe competition at Sochi and tweet his thanks to his board or binding sponsor, he could be disqualified and lose his gold medal.
The IOC says that Rule 40 is about protecting the Games from ambush marketing (interestingly, that's a newer rationale; originally it was meant to protect amateurism). But what it's really about is preventing anyone who is not an official Olympic sponsor from sharing in the considerable spoils.
Cycling and the Olympics have had an uneasy relationship at least since 1996, the first year professionals were allowed to enter (and, of course, mountain biking's first year in the Games). Ask any pro road cyclist what is the most important event, and the answer is the Tour de France, not the Olympics. And in cyclocross and mountain biking, the riders who do make a living do so on sponsorships that grow out of an annual calendar of events, not governing body largesse or the chance to fight for a gold every four years.
Where cyclocross is growing, it will continue to grow with or without the Games. Where it's not, the Olympics won't suddenly provide fertile territory.
I think cyclists, especially in North America, suffer from a kind of inferiority complex. Our sport is decidedly lower-tier, especially compared to the major commercial sports like football or basketball.
Olympic inclusion, we think, would confer some kind of legitimacy that we don't already have. I'd say that belief or hope is questionable at best (ask a cross-country skier what the Olympics have done for that sport here).
To a casual observer, cyclocross is ludicrous. Think about it: we race skinny-tired bikes, off-road, in winter, over a course that requires us to periodically dismount and run with them. Is that any less strange than biathlon?
Having Mary Carillo interview Sven Nys isn't going to change that, or make the sport something in which people have a passing interest in more than once every four years.
Getting 'cross in the Olympics won't solve any problems, but it might create a few. Let's just be comfortable being who we are.

radiation injury
radiation injury
Tissue damage caused by exposure to ionizing radiation. Structures with rapid cell turnover (e.g., skin, stomach or intestinal lining, and bone marrow) are most susceptible. High-dose irradiation of the last two causes radiation sickness. Nausea and vomiting subside in a few hours. They are followed in intestinal cases by abdominal pain, fever, and diarrhea leading to dehydration and a fatal shocklike state, and in bone-marrow cases (two to three weeks later) by fever, weakness, hair loss, infection, and hemorrhage. In severe cases, death occurs from infection and uncontrollable bleeding. Lower radiation doses can cause cancer (notably leukemia and breast cancer), sometimes years later. Radiation exposure in early pregnancy can produce abnormalities in the embryo, whose cells are multiplying rapidly.

Why Lawyer Reviews are Important
Anyone who is considering obtaining lawyer services in the state of Florida will want to take the proper approach. Conducting research online and in person provides the prospective client with insight as to each law firm's integrity and reputation. The result is that the person will choose the best-suited firm in the end. The following is information on how to go about finding the best law firm for a particular situation, and why checking Florida lawyer reviews is an important practice:
Reading Florida Lawyer Reviews
Reading reviews is one of the most crucial elements of finding a reputable firm. Consumer reviews, testimonials and ratings will help a person to select an organization that is honorable and successful. Such reviews will notate the level of customer service that a specific law firm practices. The reviews will also explain to prospective clients if the law firm helped that person to win his or her case. Additionally, people who have had poor experiences with a firm will express such.
The reviews will be the largest basis for the final decision. The individual should read reviews carefully, and compare as many firms as possible.

Before you hire an attorney to represent you in your Springfield DWI case, you had better make sure he knows exactly HOW to fight a Missouri drunk driving charge.

If you want to be certain you have found the right lawyer, make sure to ask him these questions:
A Pop Quiz For Your Springfield DWI Lawyer:
- Have you fought many Springfield DWI cases before mine? Your DWI lawyer should have loads of experience with drunk driving cases. If he doesn't, you are at risk of being convicted of a DWI in Missouri. Remember, just because you have been arrested for a Springfield DWI, does not mean you are automatically convicted. A skilled Missouri DWI attorney can get your charges reduced or even dismissed!
- Are your past clients satisfied? Your Springfield DWI lawyer should have defended many cases with a high success rate. If your attorney has never won a case, you should run in the other direction – quickly!
- Do you have training and experience in DUI defense? If you want to find the right lawyer, look for someone who has taken their share of DUI defense classes including courses on field sobriety testing and chemical testing. The more education your Springfield DWI lawyer has, the better.
- Do you just plead guilty for your clients? If your DWI lawyer tells you the best idea is to plead guilty, don't hire him. The truth is pleading guilty is more expensive than hiring a lawyer! That's because pleading guilty means you are admitting to your Greene County DWI. And you will be punished. You will likely lose your license and you could end up in jail! A lawyer who just wants you to plead guilty to the charges is not the right attorney for you.
- Are you available to talk to me and answer all my questions? Your Springfield DWI lawyer should be around to talk to you and help alleviate any concerns that you may have about your case. You should have a relationship with you attorney and be able to call or contact him at any time to get an answer.

After a long hiatus, we hit the trail for Leg 6 of the border to shore trail run. Quite a wake up call after months of pavement running while training for the Hartford marathon. Trap rock can be tricky – especially when the rocks are hidden by freshly fallen leaves.
We started out in Plainville on Ledge Road and took the access trail up to the Metacomet. Heading directly into the rising sun and watching our feet, I was surprised we only got lost once, but we picked it back up pretty quickly. When we finally got up to the ridge line, the real running began. Slowly. We were all kinda dragging this morning. It seems longer, but it's only been a week since the marathon.
The trees were awesome today – about a week after peak, but still blazing in places. We hit an outlook or two, saw an old chimney with a collection of Busch and Pabst cans (the official beers of the woods – I think there's a sponsorship opportunity here…). The weather was perfect today. High 50′s, light breeze. I remember back to our first run on the trail. In the 20′s and windy. We may be ending our Metacomet portion the same way we started – I think we have two legs left, and fairly busy schedules.
A couple miles in, we caught a break and were deposited on some pavement. It was only a mile but I was really tired of the technical stuff. The road took us by Rogers Orchards. Apparently on Sunday mornings they bake apple pies and make donuts. Three hungry guys with no money were not happy.
As we progressed, we saw the most spectacular sheer rockfaces yet. Getting up to them was quite a challenge. Lots of scrambles – both ups and downs. Also, it seemed like all the lookouts on this run overlooked bodies of water. As my friends know, I'm not a big fan of heights. Oof.
This stretch of trail was surprisingly undeveloped, considering it's location adjoining densely populated New Britski. It was more like the quiet corner or in the northwest hills. Central CT has got a little bit of the wild left! I recommend everyone take advantage of it before the McMansions find their way into every unprotected nook and cranny.
We encountered some heavily prepared day hikers that looked at us like we were crazy, some rock climbers I thought were crazy and one truly crazy guy – a fellow trail runner who was absolutely haulin' down a hill (we were caught power walking up the hill). We wrapped up the day when we hit Carey Street in Southington. Really unfriendly parking situation here, so I was relieved when we saw the car, and a bit surprised when there wasn't a ticket on the windshield. Wouldn't be the first time a municipality found a way to monetize a natural resource! Hopefully we get out again soon – looking forward to Hubbard Park in Meriden, one of the few easily accessed places on the trail I've never visited.

The way a recyclable is collected has a lot to do with its marketability. In NYC, there are essentially two kinds of recycling programs:
curbside collectiondrop-off programs
ALSO SEE:recyclability: infrastructure
Curbside Collection Programs
Curbside collections accept a variety of materials commingled together (see what NYC recycles). These must be separated and sorted (see what happens to recyclables).
To help offset recycling collection and labor costs, NYC needs economies of scale. Commingled collection is part of that economy. Nationally, even with commingling, curbside collection costs are the highest taxpayer-funded expenses associated with recycling.
The secondary markets for recycled commodities fluctuate. Sometimes certain materials are worth a lot, other times very little. In a curbside recycling program, the materials set out for recycling has to be collected no matter what the markets for the materials are at any given time. This means that only materials with markets that are strong in the long term can work reliably with commingled curbside collections.
back to top | back to about recycling plastics | back to all about plastics
Drop-Off (Take-Back) Programs
Drop-off or take-back recycling programs (such as those for plastic bags) accept, store, and periodically transport clean, pre-sorted materials that people have voluntarily dropped off at a central location. This is a very different model of collection for two reasons: First, certain items must be clean and pre-sorted in order to be marketable, and, in these programs, this labor is done ahead of time by the consumer. Second, manufacturers and retailers provide the infrastructure for recycling, so there are no costs to taxpayers for real estate or labor.
The "free labor" and the significant reduction in overhead changes the economics of recycling. Drop-off (take-back) programs can yield enough revenue from materials with relatively weak markets to cover processing costs. The economics under a city-wide curbside collection program are vastly different.
Since drop-off (take-back) programs are viable for certain items, these programs are increasingly part of recycling legislation. Unfortunately, there are many materials for which the markets are so weak or nonexistant, that even drop-off (take-back) programs aren't viable.
