Blog Entry:
May 07, 2013 12:13 PM | Author: SCOTT SUTTELL
If you're reading this, there's a better-than-average chance you work at a desk all day, sitting with your back curved and your shoulders slumped. And that's not great for your spine.
Wall Street Journal
, Mladen Golubic, medical director for the
Center for Lifestyle Medicine at Cleveland Clinic's Wellness Institute
, offers some straight talk on keeping your back healthy while staring at a computer screen all day.
His center sees patients with multiple chronic illnesses and "nearly all of them sit for long periods each day,"
The Journal
notes. (The term Sedentary Death Syndrome was coined by the President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports in 2002.)
"There are studies on Sedentary Death Syndrome that show that sitting for hours can cause anything from lower back pain to high cholesterol, diabetes and obesity," Dr. Golubic says.
He says "relaxed, straight sitting"— with the core strong, shoulder blades active but not tight and spine erect—"expands your chest, allowing you to take in a larger breath…and you'll have more energy and focus." To achieve this, Dr. Golubic tells
The Journal
, sit away from the back of your chair so you don't slump, with your feet placed firmly on the ground.
If you're not used to sitting up straight, the paper says, "you may feel lower back pain — an indicator that you need to strengthen your core and work on general fitness." Dr. Golubic almost always advises his patients to start yoga: "The first thing we learn in yoga is how to sit properly."
The bottom line is to spend as little time sitting as possible. Dr. Golubic says he tries to get up from his desk often, doing "walking meetings" with colleagues and taking phone calls outdoors. "If you cannot walk, at least stand," he says.
They have a plan
that a union pension plan based in Parma claims in a federal court complaint that Goldman Sachs Group Inc., Citigroup Inc. and 10 other banks have restrained market competition for credit default swaps in violation of U.S. antitrust law.
"The CDS market has been starkly divided between those who control and distort the market and those who, in order to participate in the market, must abide their distortions," according to the
filed in Chicago by Sheet Metal Workers Local No. 33 Cleveland District Pension Plan.
The pension plan seeks damages for what it says are "substantial injuries" it and people and entities on the "buy side" sustained in buying or selling CDS contracts to the "sell side" dealer-defendants between 2008 and 2011, Bloomberg reports.
If you've forgotten your financial meltdown terminology, Bloomberg notes that credit-default swaps pay the buyer face value if a borrower fails to meet its obligations, less the value of the defaulted debt. The contracts, which investors use to hedge against losses on corporate debt or to speculate on creditworthiness, decline as investor confidence improves and rise as it deteriorates.
This and that
Work to do:
Cleveland is a laggard when it comes to creating jobs.
So says
this analysis
from Forbes.com, produced by demographer Joel Kotkin.
He looked at 66 large metro areas, defined as those with at least 450,000 jobs. Most of the top jobs-producing metros are in California and Texas.
However, "diverse growth can be seen in other low-cost and business-friendly towns such as our No. 11 big metro area, Raleigh-Cary, N.C.; No. 13 Columbus, Ohio; and No. 15 Indianapolis," Mr. Kotkin writes. "The shift toward stronger growth in areas away from the coasts has continued, at least in the more attractive metro areas."
He adds that "any list has its share of losers as well as winners," and this one "includes long-suffering old industrial cities such as our last-placed big metro area, Newark-Union, N.J., which is followed, in order, by Saint Louis, MO-IL; Cleveland-Elyria-Mentor, Ohio; and Providence-Fall River-Warwick RI-MA. All but Providence, which stayed about even, slipped from last year's rankings."
Hello, IPO:
Antero Resources
, an oil and natural gas company that has around 92,000 acres in Ohio's Utica share,
is preparing
for an initial public offering that could value it at as much as $10 billion, Reuters reports.
The Denver-based company has hired Barclays, JP Morgan Chase & Co. and Citigroup Inc. to lead the deal. Antero could come to the stock market later this year, Reuters reports.
In addition to its Utica shale holdings, Antero has around 311,000 acres in the Marcellus shale formation in West Virginia and Pennsylvania.
"Antero believes that most of their acreage in the Marcellus holds natural gas liquids, which tend to be worth more than 'dry' gas," Reuters reports. "The company said its Utica acreage sits in a region that it believes holds natural gas liquids."
quantity time:
You'll find some good advice — including one quick story with a Cleveland connection — in
this piece
about how business people can maintain good connections with their kids, no matter how busy they are.
The author, Verne Harnish, is CEO of
Gazelles Inc.
, an executive education firm. Among his pieces of advice: Don't ask kids about their day; work from home when you can; eat dinner as a family as often as possible; and play the way your kids want to play.
His last piece of advice: Plan one-on-one getaways with your kids.
"Schedule a quick trip alone with each of your children at least once a year," Mr. Harnish writes. "Build it into the normal flight path of your life so you don't put it off. One of my favorite memories is going to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with my son Cameron after a speech I gave in Cleveland. Kids love coming on business trips -- and spending time with them sure beats hanging out in the hotel lounge."

Following day off, Sox renew rivalry vs. Rays
Archer to face callup Ranaudo to open four-game series
Even though this weekend's series won't have any major playoff implications, there still should be some energy on both benches at Tropicana Field. It is the Red Sox and Rays, after all.
The two clubs, who had their share of differences over batters hit by pitches earlier this season and during the last few years, will begin a four-game set Friday. Boston is in last place in the American League East, while the fourth-place Rays saw their postseason chances shrink as they dropped three of four games to the division-leading Orioles in their latest series.
The Red Sox and Rays cleared the benches on May 25 in St. Petersburg after shortstop Yunel Escobar stole third with a five-run lead in the seventh. Boston, particularly former Sox outfielder Jonny Gomes, took offense and tempers flared. Both benches cleared again at Fenway Park just a few days later.
Then, when the two clubs played in late July, Rays pitcher Chris Archer -- who will start Friday's series opener -- took offense to David Ortiz's bat flip and slow trot around the bases after a three-run homer off the right-hander, sparking critical postgame remarks from both players.
Archer said that it was an example of Ortiz acting bigger than the game, while Ortiz responded that the young pitcher wasn't the right player to be making those comments.
The day before he faces Big Papi and the Sox again, Archer was in no mood to discuss the incident any further.
"I'm not going to say anything about it," he said.
Since that July 27 start, Archer has been stellar, posting a 1.99 ERA and .220/.282/.280 slash line against in five outings.
For the Red Sox, it will be Anthony Ranaudo -- the club's No. 5 prospect according to MLB.com -- taking the hill for his third Major League start. Friday would be Brandon Workman's day, but the righty was optioned following his rough start Saturday against the Mariners.
Ranaudo was named International League Pitcher of the Year on Tuesday. The 6-foot-7 righty went 14-4 with a 2.61 ERA, 2.05 K/BB ratio and .223 batting average against over 24 starts. He was scheduled to start for Triple-A Pawtucket on Friday, but Workman will take his place.
Ranaudo has made two starts for the Red Sox this season, allowing 12 hits and six earned runs over 12 innings in a pair of wins.
Red Sox: Bogaerts will be activated Saturday
Shortstop Xander Bogaerts received medical clearance Wednesday after suffering a concussion Friday when Felix Hernandez hit him in the head with an 88-mph changeup.
Manager John Farrell said that Bogaerts will join the team for the weekend's series and be activated Saturday when he's eligible to come off the seven-day concussion disabled list. Brock Holt has played short in his absence.
"He's gone through some running and some throwing. He's on his way to Florida, he'll go through a full work day on Friday and then be ready for Saturday," Farrell said.
Rays: Archer heads home early to prepare for start
Archer departed for the Tampa Bay area on Thursday afternoon, not hanging around for Thursday night's game against the Orioles.
Archer's travel was nothing unusual. Many times when the Rays are playing a night game and travel home after the game -- without an off-day the following day -- the starting pitcher for the next night's game will leave early.
"I'm just happy that the team, the organization knows the importance of getting a good night's sleep for the starting pitcher," Archer said.
The right-hander said he would be watching his team's finale against the O's, which the Rays lost, 5-4, from home.
Worth noting
• Ortiz sat out Monday and Tuesday with a bruised right foot, but he returned to Boston's lineup Wednesday. He didn't have any issue and should be ready for Friday's game against the Rays.
It will be his first time facing off with Archer since their exchange.
• Rays left-hander Drew Smyly's 1.50 ERA is the best of any pitcher in his first five starts with the ballclub. The previous best was set by David Price (2.22 in 2008-09), whom Smyly was traded for at the July 31 non-waiver Trade Deadline.

Being a victim or perpetrator of violence, harassment, or bullying is a serious issue, with lasting negative effects on the lives of children and teens. When young people experience violence, they face more physical and mental health challenges as well as problems in school. They are also at greater risk of using violence themselves. Parents can play important roles in preventing or reducing these risks for their children. Consider these ideas:
[Related: Is It Bullying? Learn how to identify bullying.]
[Related Article: Online Safety]

[Related Article: Tips for Raising Culturally-Aware Kids]
Violence and bullying can be reduced when people work together to create safe places for all young people. As a parent, you have a particular stake in the safety of your child, so joining these efforts can make a big difference. In addition, your child will see how important the issue is to you, and he or she will also learn from you about the importance of getting involved to make your neighborhood, school, and community better places.

My `umble contribution to humanity in this respect
during a recent heat wave (am from oz) - major PC hassles - it manifested itself in the power supply failing
but am pretty sure the root cause was the heat of the chipset which handles ancillary functions & is normally not fan cooled & I didnt have a fan
am pretty sure it was the heat of the chipset & the heatsink wasnt up to it. It was so hot it smelled like ironing
my bodgy solution?
I used ring pull lugs from old beer cans, of which sadly I have many, & jammed them between the fins if the chipset heat sink - both aluminium so no more oxidation than usual
It seemed to work & definitely helped (the lugs were hot & clearly dissipating heat)

WADDINGTON – The St. Lawrence River Showdown Committee is looking for property owners to rent their homes to anglers when they compete in the Bassmaster Elite Series Tournament in August.
Bassmasters reports 102 anglers will participate in the competition. Under contract, the village will provide 60 hotel rooms for production and television crews. However, anglers must find their own housing.
It is similar to what they do in Lake Placid, said St. Lawrence County Chamber of Commerce FishCap Coordinator and committee member Donald R. Meissner said Thursday. People will have an opportunity to rent their own homes to anglers while they are away or on vacation.
During the tournament, anglers will fish along the St. Lawrence River from Massena to Ogdensburg. Anglers will also have an opportunity to fish in Canadian waters with a permit. All anglers, however, must launch from Whittaker Park in Waddington.
Anglers typically like to be within 20 minutes of the launch area, event coordinator Deanna Shampine said. Thats a great opportunity for people looking to rent their homes in Lisbon, Louisville, Potsdam, Canton, Massena, Waddington, and Ogdensburg.
Approximately 44 percent of anglers have families with children under the age of 18, according to Bassmasters.
There will be many people who will prefer family housing, or to share a residence, said Ms. Shampine.
While the St. Lawrence River tournament will take place Aug. 8 to 11, committee members said that there is an opportunity for property owners to rent for longer periods.
With these kinds of tournaments as large as this, some like to extend their stay, said Mr. Meissner. Some use it as their vacation. Some anglers could potentially stay for a month.
The tournament previous to St. Lawrence County will be the Mississippi River Rumble June 20 to 23.
A gap like that is unusual, and provides a unique opportunity, said Ms. Shampine.
People interested in renting their homes can contact their nearest chamber of commerce for more information, Ms. Shampine said. The committee hopes to collect all its rental listings by Jan. 10. The listings will be compiled and posted on chamber of commerce websites in the coming weeks.
The committee is also looking for bed-and-breakfast establishments, motels, hotels and campgrounds interested in offering special rates or blocks of rooms to be posted as well.

Working with Unicode
this wiki
created 2002 · complexity basic · author Tony Mechelynck · version 6.0
[show]What to doEdit
- One thing you should always do first is check the help.
- The following is an example. Modify it to suit your work environment.
if has("multi_byte") if &termencoding == "" let &termencoding = &encoding endif set encoding=utf-8 setglobal fileencoding=utf-8 "setglobal bomb set fileencodings=ucs-bom,utf-8,latin1 endif
What the above doesEdit
checks if you have the right options compiled-in. If you haven't got what it takes, it's no use trying to use Unicode.
defines how your keyboard encodes what you type. Here we save the value corresponding to your locale before changing 'encoding' (see below).
sets how vim shall represent characters internally. Utf-8 is necessary for most flavors of Unicode.
sets the encoding for a particular file (local to buffer); :setglobal sets the default value. An empty value can also be used: it defaults to same as 'encoding'. Or you may want to set one of the ucs encodings, It might make the same disk file bigger or smaller depending on your particular mix of characters. Also, IIUC, utf-8 is always big-endian (high bit first) while ucs can be big-endian or little-endian, so if you use it, you will probably need to set 'bomb" (see below).
(boolean): if set, vim will put a "byte order mark" (or BOM for short) at the start of Unicode files. This option is irrelevant for non-Unicode files (iso-8859, etc.). This BOM is the codepoint U+FEFF, which is represented on disk as follows:- UTF-8: EF BB BF
- UTF-16be: FE FF
- UTF-16le: FF FE
- UTF-32be: 00 00 FE FF
- UTF-32le: FF FE 00 00
- That is, the BOM allows an easy determination of which Unicode encoding and which endianness are being used (assuming that a file in UTF-16le won't start with a NULL).
- In the above example,
'set bomb'
is commented out because it can cause problems if your encoding is utf-8, and is not really necessary. From the Wikipedia BOM page: "While Unicode standard allows BOM in UTF-8, it does not require or recommend it. Byte order has no meaning in UTF-8 so a BOM only serves to identify a text stream or file as UTF-8 or that it was converted from another format that has a BOM."
- The advantage of setting BOM is that Vim can very easily determine that the file is encoded in UTF-8, but is often not understood, misrepresented, or even considered invalid in other programs, such as compilers, web browsers, or text editors not as nice as Vim.
- The nice thing about 'bomb' is that when Vim reads a file, and the file has a BOM already included, Vim will automatically set 'bomb' local to the buffer so that it is written out again. So as a general rule, it is probably best to set 'bomb' local to the buffer, only on the files where it is considered useful.
defines the heuristic to set 'fileencoding' (local to buffer) when reading an existing file. The first one that matches will be used. Ucs-bom is "ucs with byte-order-mark"; it must not come after utf-8 if you want it to be used.
Additional remarksEdit
- In "replace" mode, one utf character (one or more data bytes) replaces one utf character (which need not use the same number of bytes).
- In "normal" mode, ga shows the character under the cursor as text, decimal, octal and hex; g8 shows which byte or bytes are used to represent it.
- In "insert" or "replace" mode,
- any character defined on your keyboard can be entered the usual way (even with dead keys if you have them, e.g. French circumflex, German umlaut, etc.);
- any character which has a "digraph" (there are a huge lot of them, see :dig after setting enc=utf-8) can be entered with a Ctrl-K prefix;
- any utf character at all can be entered with a Ctrl-V prefix, either <Ctrl-V> u aaaa or <Ctrl-V> U bbbbbbbb, with 0 <= aaaa <= FFFF, or 0 <= bbbbbbbb <= 7FFFFFFF.
- If you have sourced
(which I don't recommend) then <Ctrl-V> has been remapped to the "paste" operation; in this case you need to use <Ctrl-Q> instead. - details in our tip on Entering special characters
- Gvim will display it properly if you have the fonts for it, provided that you set 'guifont' to some fixed-width font which has the glyphs you want to use (Courier New is OK for French, German, Greek, Russian and more, but I'm not sure about Hebrew or Arabic; its glyphs are of a more "fixed" width than those of, e.g. Lucida Console: the latter can be awkward if you need bold Cyrillic writing).
- Until recently, gvim displayed any Unicode codepoint above U+FFFF as a question mark (double-width for CJK). This was fixed by patch 7.1.116 dated 2007 Sep 17 20:39. If you still have an older version, it is strongly recommended that you upgrade to the current release (and a recent patchlevel).
- If you regularly work with multiple encodings, it can be very helpful to have Vim show the current file's encoding in the statusline
- :help utf8
- :help encoding-values
- :help 'encoding'
- :help 'fileencoding'
- :help 'fileencodings'
- :help 'termencoding'
- :help 'bomb'
- :help 'guifont'
- :help ga
- :help g8
- :help digraphs
- :help i_CTRL-V_digit
Related pluginsEdit
See alsoEdit
If you happen to (like me) use Ctrl+V for paste (mswin behaviour), and want to insert Unicode chars, you can do so with: Ctrl+Shft+u <unicode><enter>, for example: Ctrl+Shft+u 2023<enter> ‣ (tested on Ubuntu Linux)
- How about just using the workaround mentioned at :help CTRL-V-alternative? <C-S-U> should be indistinguishable by many systems from <C-U>, and typing <C-U> in insert mode means "delete all text from my cursor to the beginning of the line", and additionally will not create a new "change" by default, so you could lose your entire insertion of text since you entered insert mode. See Recover from accidental Ctrl-U, I could not think of a reason anyone would make this mistake, but now I know of one. --Fritzophrenic 21:16, January 30, 2012 (UTC)
Well, that works too. But the <C-S-U> for one shows the numbers you've typed in so far, and two: it works in a lot more programs (again: at least in Ubuntu). (Terminal, Chrome, Gvim, ...) - PS: I have made the C-U mistake while in insert mode many a time :( luckily, I found this page recently :D
On a Windows XP system I had trouble making vim enter Greek input text in Unicode files using the Hellenic keyboard layout by setting termencoding to iso8859-7. Setting it to cp1253 solved the problem.
If you, like me, are a Far East (esp. CJK) user and need symbols like the dash to be double-width, you need the option:
set ambiwidth=double
About accents: see :help digraph.txt and in particular :help digraphs-default.
The combinations listed under :help digraphs-default are standard and come from RFC 1345. Other digraphs for some accented Latin letters are found at the very end of the output of the :digraph
command: these are nonstandard synonyms, defined for compatibility with some legacy versions of Vim.
In insert mode, type Ctrl-k + letter + accent; for instance with RFC 1345 digraphs:
Ctrl-K a '
results in áCtrl-K e !
results in èCtrl-K o ?
results in õ (o with tilde, as in Portuguese)Ctrl-K u :
results in üCtrl-K i >
results in îCtrl-K c ,
results in çCtrl-K a ;
results in ąCtrl-K o "
results in ő (o with double acute, as in Hungarian)Ctrl-K A 0
results in Å- etc...
If you type Ctrl-K followed by a digraph which is not defined, Vim will look for the same two characters in the opposite order.
It's also possible to use Ctrl-v with unicode values, see :help i_CTRL-V_digit: <C-V>u0301
produces ́
Even in UTF-8 encoding, setting 'bomb'
on or off is purely a personal preference:
- Advantage: In the filetypes where a BOM is allowed (HTML, CSS, …) or treated as a zero-width no-break space (plaintext, …), it specifies unambiguously that the file is in UTF-8
- Disadvantage: In some filetypes where the file could be in ASCII or in UTF-8 but not in other Unicode encodings, and in particular in any script starting with
in its first line, the BOM won't be recognised and may cause a syntax error.
— Tonymec 12:25, March 31, 2011 (UTC)
setglobal fileencoding
does not work for me. I expect the default file encoding to be applied to newly created files, new buffers. This does not happen. Documentation says fileencoding
is buffer local, so I assume setglobal
has no effect.
Solution I use for setting specific default file encoding is this:
au BufEnter * if &fileencoding == "" | set fileencoding=latin2 | endif
- The
setglobal fileencoding
works just fine for me, and it ought to. Even though 'filencoding' is a buffer-local option, it still has a global value used to initialize the local option. This global value is what:setglobal fileencoding=latin1
for example modifies. Specifically, the following sequence will, for me, produce an initial buffer with fenc equal to an empty string, a second buffer with fenc equal to an empty string, and a third buffer with fenc equal to "latin1":
gvim -N -u NONE -U NONE -i NONE :set encoding=utf-8 :new :setglobal fileencoding=latin1 :new
- What "doesn't work" for you? Do you have other encoding-modifying autocmds or plugins in your config?

I liked Digimon but I only liked season 1&2 Digimon does not come on here anymore which sucks neither does another anime I used to watch Hamtaro
My fave Digimon would have to be Terrerimon also Devimon aswell
Flamon, Agunimon, and Angewomon for me.
I need to find some good digimon porn.
Tie first 2 series where friggin awesome, and the 3rd was decent. I couldn't stard the 4th. Maybe the 5th will be better...
Lost intrest after 3rd season.
I watch Digimon most of the time. But not much.
Digimon is the least succesful excuse for anime that ever existed. It's on freaking disney channel for pete's sake! That would in this arguement alone. Also you'd be waiting until next year for digimon to get any better but all digimon has ever done is go from bad to worse. Pokemon has stayed strong for years while digimon has strived to keep up since it came out. Digimon was sorta popular in the 90's, but nothing could ever touch the popularity Pokemon had during that era. Pokemon is still coming out with strong games to this day when the last digimon game i've heard of was about two years ago. Some of the fires are burning out in the older kids like me, but I know a multitude of younger kids who eat pokemon up like it's ice cream. Pokemon is just now starting to die down a little, but it's almost unnoticeable. The only other time I can recall where pokemon didn't have a time is the gap between G/S/C and R/S.
First off, it was on Fox way before it was on disney channel. Plus, Digimon was never about the games, it was aobut the show in general.
The Digimon anime was better than all the pokemon seasons (exculding the first season) combined. Honestly, I find a digital universe more realistic than one where people get rip of their kids to possibly send them to death in the wildnerness.
And Digimon wasn't "striving to keep up with Pokemon since it came out" because Digimon was actually released first.
Eh... It's too late to be posting on PD-much less arguing...
Digimon is sooo underrated
It was on fox, now on disney...
Digimon the anime sucked shit throught the entire thing.
It doesn't matter how realistic it is, we're talking about how good the anime was, not realism. Pokemon kicks its ass in that point.
Even though Digimon was first, it wasn't very popular until Pokemon arrived on the scene. Once Pokemon hit, no other kids anime could even come close to catching it (except for one short period of Digimon, but that didn't last...) until Yu-Gi-Oh! came out. Digimon really didn't stand much of a chance, especially nowdays where it's practically unheard of until someone decides to post a thread about it on a forum.
digimon anime had depth, pokemon anime had shallowness.Digimon the anime sucked shit throught the entire thing.
I think not. Pokemon could suck you in. Especially the movie.
That was like, the love of my life at one time... I still watch it if it's on and I have nothing else to do (which is very rare). My opinion has always been that 1 & 2 were by far the best, 3 was okay (though Henry and Jerry pissed me off with their worthlessness and cowardice), and 4 just sort of made me think, "The other seasons are disowning this season as their relative..." I didn't even know there was a 5th season, but it's probably less enjoyable than sitting in elephant dung, so I'm not gonna bother watching it.
[SIZE="1"]Pairs: The Blind Eye of Deception [DSX] | The Ninjassassin [Sasuke] | The Hadouken! [The Azn Party Boy]
The movies are decent, but the digimon movies blow your mind away~~I think not. Pokemon could suck you in. Especially the movie.
I loved the Digimon movie when I saw it, but I only remember bits of it now.
Bishies Claimed: Ed~Rose~Armony~Dante
~Mikey ^.^
Pairs: DSX*Pichubro*Red
I have a friend who has the Digimon movie. I like to borrow it from time to time.
Whoever watches Digimon deserves to be eaten by rabid papayas

Worship: the Key to the Church's Renewal
Where can I go to study worship—
not music—but worship?
The Institute for Worship Studies was founded with that question in mind.
More and more professors of church music, music ministers and pastors realize there is a gap in their education. They have the music education and the skills for music and worship leadership, but they lack the knowledge of the biblical foundations, historical development, theological reflection and cultural analysis for effective worship ministry in today's world.
IWS and its worship degree programs were initiated by Robert E. Webber to meet this need and prepare leaders for the challenging task of worship ministry in a complex and rapidly changing world.
Want to know more about IWS or explore whether IWS is for you? Start in our Admissions section for answers to common questions, or apply now on-line.

The Next Eastman Kodak Co. (NYSE: EK): Companies Headed for Bankruptcy in 2012
U.S. stocks remain near their all-time highs, and uncertainties are escalating. But stocks can still offer big profits – if you choose the right companies in the right sectors, Money Map Press Chief Investment Strategist Keith Fitz-Gerald told me during a long sit-down talk I hosted this week.
Now – more than ever – it's a "stock-picker's" market, Keith told me.
If you back out beaten-up energy stocks, "we could see 3% to 5% growth this earnings season," Keith said. "That's going to surprise a lot of people. So you want to be in the game, especially where technology, defense and energy are concerned. They're all terrific buying opportunities given future expectations."
Keith even shared several of his favorite opportunities.

Kwinana PSP upgrade worksRe: Kwinana PSP upgrade worksYesterday I noticed two of the detour signs in bateman had blown over inthe storm. I was on an extreme clock so I left them for some one else to deal with.
I was a bit surprosed (and disappointed) to see these signs in what looked to be the same place and alignment this morning. How many hudreds of riders would have passed that point since the morning before? This time I was not pressed for time so I put them back up. If you do see something like this how about hopping off for a moment and dealing with it? (I came across a third one further along which may also have been another ignored casualty of the storm.)

too true Colin; guilty as charged....I went through the other day on my return and considered stopping ..but would you believe that at that moment the rain came pelting down and my priorities changed! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
Re: Kwinana PSP upgrade worksMain Roads started last night on evening construction works for a pedestrian underpass at South St, should take 4 weeks. Possibly this underpass is the gaping holes dug out halfway along either side of South St between the station and the uni, where my suggested detour used to be. The path that used to come off Urbahns St where it bent as it came parallel with South St, that path is no more. Similarly the bit of path that took us off the freeway path onto Joyce St before Parry Ave is no more, instead we have the tour de Bateman. All something to tell the grandkids about. 3 more months.
Re: Kwinana PSP upgrade works
Yeah I attempted that detour today, and went !!! Dead detour ok follow the route hmm Masi Speciale CX 2008 - Brooks B17 special saddle, Garmin Edge 810
Re: Kwinana PSP upgrade worksThis morning on my work bound commute i was half way into the "Tour De Bateman" when i realised the detour signage was missing! i reconnected onto the psp and found that the detour is no more! The work has been completed due south up to Parry rd... What a nice surface it is too!
Re: Kwinana PSP upgrade works
Yep - and if you look on to the underpass at Parry Ave you will see a wider path and a line with good visibility. As it should always have been. Hopefully we have seen the last of any collisions there. Unchain yourself-Ride a unicycle
Re: Kwinana PSP upgrade worksWell yay cycled on the new section, but I gotta comment on that UGLY wall next to it. MY GOD what have they done... I hope tye plants something in front of it

Re: Kwinana PSP upgrade works
Baalz, remember this one? And i loosely paraphrase Pres.R.R "MR.Gorbachev, tear down this wall!"
Re: Kwinana PSP upgrade works
It'll be ful of grafitti soon enough. But more importantly, at least those who back up onto the freeway will appreciate it. Even more so when they do the same on the area around Scandrett Way and London Way. And I am already missing that ugly black labrador that used to snap and bark as I rode along Morhett Crescent.

Re: Kwinana PSP upgrade worksWhat they have down further down the Kwinana FWY PSP past safety bay rd is much much nicer, but grey concrete.... Why couldn't they paint graffiti art over it. Well a section of it needs it, others can have plants/trees infront of it

Re: Kwinana PSP upgrade works::bump::
Anyone using the PSP bike lantern crossing over South St at the freeway/station crossing, please increase your vigilance a bit while all the roadworks are happening there. A week or so ago I was in the back of a cab about to head north on the freeway during the arvo peak, and the car in front of us completely blew the red light at speed, seconds before a cyclist came through the crossing. Thought it was just a one-off texting imbecile but today in the car I saw something similar in the same spot. I suspect that some drivers are getting distracted by the orange pole markers funnelling the lanes together further ahead, or something, and are somehow failing to notice the lights.

Re: Kwinana PSP upgrade worksThose intersections around Murdoch train station are going to stay dicey for a while, put it down to the freeway widening and traffic jams if you want. Plus idiot drivers in a hurry.
As far as the freeway widening works' effect on the PSPs we're getting back bits of our paths but the project is at least a month behind schedule. The bit of path behind George Welby Park from Scandrett Way to Parry Ave should have been ours two months ago. The entire PSP from Leach to South should be re-opened this month, unlikely. And for those doing detours be aware that a whole new project is starting up this month, expect more disruption along South St and Murdoch Dr as they upgrade the roads around the hospital over the next 12 months.
Re: Kwinana PSP upgrade worksSorry, struggling to keep track of which bits are open/closed on the PSP. Currently I'm taking Murdoch Drive from just before Farrington Rd through to Leach Hwy. As per: http://app.strava.com/activities/27290436
Is this still my best bet or have some/all of those sections through Murdoch opened up?
Re: Kwinana PSP upgrade worksAt the mo' your route is okay but is under threat, at least for the bit along Murdoch Dr that passes the St John of Fiona Stanley hospital complex. If you were to use the Kwinana PSP right now heading south you'd still have to cross Leach Hwy at the lights, have the PSP back to Parry Ave but then have to get off for a backroads tour after Parry, can get back onto the PSP from Scandrett but then still have to cross South St at the lights and take that detour around the new carpark before you find the PSP again to get away from Murdoch train station. Of course changes are expected in the next month or two or three, sometimes overnight.
Re: Kwinana PSP upgrade works
For the record they started painting it very soon after. Looks fine. Indeed better than a lot of others. Unchain yourself-Ride a unicycle
Re: Kwinana PSP upgrade worksThanks for that. My alternate route (generally come home this way) is via Berrigan Dr and up Karel Ave to Leach Hwy. Not a fan of the traffic on either route.
Re: Kwinana PSP upgrade worksJust a heads for those of you who haven't hit these detours in a while, they've recently changed everything around again south of Murdoch. Now the detour heads up to Fiona Stanley just after the parking ramp, then hits the new road south of Barry Marshall. Also, Barry Marshall has traffic coming from both directions now, so make sure to check both ways now before riding across.
And here's what the South St. offramp path underpass looks like as of now (click for big): It's gonna be ages before all that is cleaned up and we get the path finished under South St.
Re: Kwinana PSP upgrade worksDoes get rid of that substandard bit of detour path between the PSP and carpark, at least. Also they've installed a new bit of path connecting Urbahns Cres to the South St path and crossover midway between traffic lights, adjacent to the old bit of path but too close to the roadworks there so you'll find half the time that Urbahns is closed off.
Not sure if they're realigning/widening the lefthand northbound exit at Leach Hwy or just preparing to lay hardware under the road, does look like they're about to remove a decent chunk of the concrete PSP where it crosses at Leach. So you might get detours yet again or a gravel ramp to ride up. Pity that they couldn't wait until the PSP is restored under Leach, that was supposed to happen already.
Re: Kwinana PSP upgrade worksI took the Kwinana PSP from Hope Road (Roe Hwy) up to Canning Bridge this morning.
What a colossal mindfrick. Now I remember why I have been going the extra 7km via Fremantle and along the river instead. I feel sorry for those of you who have to deal with that mess every day. Maybe bikes could get a lane of the freeway during peak hour while these works are on, we'd be faster than the cars!
Re: Kwinana PSP upgrade works
They are realigning the road. You may notice that the push-button signal has already been moved back several metres which will give you an idea of how far the road is being moved. Unchain yourself-Ride a unicycle
Re: Kwinana PSP upgrade works
I came through there about quarter to nine last night, and they had blocked off that crossing altogether, apparently to put down a limestone path. There were detour signs pointing off to the left towards Moolyeen. So off I toddled, until the controllers stopped me and offered to chaperone me (walking) through the roadworks back to the crossing to keep heading north. I even got waved through with one of those airport runway light-sabre things, I felt pretty special! They said they were only shutting it off for the night, how was it this morning? (off the bike today, another story ...) "Lexa": 2012 Trek Lexa S; "Bluey": 2006 Trek 7.0FX
Re: Kwinana PSP upgrade works
Nothing but sand when I went through this morning. Seemed packed down pretty good, but still, riding over an unknown sandy patch when there's a big pit right off to both sides isn't exactly ideal. I'm sure it will be wonderful after the next big rain... I'm ranting now, but is it too much to ask that they finish and reopen some of these sections before closing off more? Seems like every day I'm dodging new works, with the only thing reopened being that tiny section between Perry and Leach that doesn't really improve times vs the old detour. I'm going to lose it if they close off the path under Farrington before they reopen South/Perry/Leach. The temporary Farrington exit ramp has already been proposed and is waiting on funding, and they're hoping to have it finished by late 2013. If they want to hit that date, then they'll have to start works in the next couple months.
Re: Kwinana PSP upgrade worksHow about some goodish news for once?
The workers were packing down the path under Parry Ave yesterday in preparation for paving, so we might actually get that section opened sooner rather than later. I couldn't tell if they were doing the whole section from Perry to Scandrett, or just under Parry, but either way it will sure be nice to be riding under the road again. That roundabout up top is probably the most dangerous bit of all the detours. For those of you keeping track, it's been closed for 14 months now, with the initial emails saying it would be reopened in Nov 2011. And on the South St path, they're making some very fast progress on the new section. Rollers were out packing down that down this morning as well, dare I say it might be opened before the end of the year? I think they need to do a bunch of works right where the current detour is running, which is why the new path seems to be going in at a decent pace.
Re: Kwinana PSP upgrade worksI had a look see the other day at where the works at Scandrett Way and Goyder place in Bateman were going.
Well, it SHOULD have been satisfying, seeing as they had completed it. But it seems that competing it was simply to put up the tall concrete sound barriers. It did NOT involve - as I had assumed it would - separating the path fromt the roads. Traffic separation? That was a no brainer. Now it will NEVER happen as that will involve undoing much of the wall work. Weird. And a lost opportunity. Unchain yourself-Ride a unicycle
Re: Kwinana PSP upgrade works^ I believe this will be done under WABN funding.
