POTSDAM - During OFAs sectional championship basketball games at SUNY Potsdams Maxcy Hall, Brogan LaRose displays a sign LAROSE 3 to support his brothers: Breton, Cavan and Kinnon LaRose.
The full cubic effect was put on display on the court in the fourth quarter of Thursdays 80-48 victory over St. Lawrence Central in the overall Section 10 semi-finals. The LaRose brothers combined to score 17 points in a 28-10 run which carried the Class B Champion Devils (20-1) away from a determined challenge by the Class C Champion Larries (10-11) and forged momentum for tonights All-NAC Central Division Section 10 Championship game against Massena.
The Class A Raiders (10-8) moved into 7:15 p.m. tipoff with a 64-50 win over Class D Champion Madrid-Waddington (16-7). Canton and Salmon River will play another All-Central matchup in the girls game at 5:30 p.m.
Sparked by three first-half three-pointers by Shane Fuentes, three driving conversions by Josh White in the third quarter and the rebounding, interior scoring and kickout passing of Shane Ramsdell; SLC trailed 50-38 heading into the closing seconds of third quarter.
The Devils, who are ranked fourth in this weeks New York State Class B pool, received a prelude to their pull-away when Matt Piercey buried an improvised jump shot under double coverage at the top of the key as the quarter expired.The fourth quarter opened with Kinnon and Cavan LaRose hitting consecutive three-pointers and Kinnon and Breton following with a steal and block which ignited the Devils vaunted running game.
We were able to get it going pretty well in the fourth quarter but St. Lawrence Central played very well. They hit some tough shots and Zane Ramsdell played very well inside for them, said OFA Coach Mark Henry after OFA hit four of their eight threes in the final quarter.
Matt Piercey did a very nice job penetrating the lane for us and Cavan LaRose just keeps getting stronger with every game.
Breton LaRose buried two threes in the first quarter and finished with a game-high 28 points and 13 rebounds which included three offensive tap-ins. After the game the senior honored as the NAC Central MVP and received the 2013 Joe Jukoski Memorial Award from the NNY Officials Board (see story on page 2B). Piercey finished with 16 points and five assists and Kinnon LaRose (4 rebounds, 3 assists) tallied seven of his 12 points in the fourth quarter. Pat Cosmo netted eight points with three assists, Cavan LaRose finished with five points and Tyler Knowlton struck for five quick points in the fourth quarter. Colin Ross and Seth Pinkerton each hit three-pointers, Jack Manke blocked three scores and scored two points along with Alex Farrell.
This was a good game for us. The team we will play in the states (Section 2 champion, Wednesday 6 p.m. at Saratoga High School) should be a team like OFA, said SLC Coach Joe Reome.
We hung with them for three quarters tonight. We shot the ball well and Zane Ramsdell showed that he can play inside with any team in the state.
Ramsdell finished 12 points, 10 rebounds and two assists in a balanced SLC offense which also featured 13 points from Shane Fuentes (2 assists), 10 points from Josh White (2 assists) and seven points from Jessi Greer.
Cody Meacham and Bradley Francis both chipped in with three-pointers.

Slow Cooker Witch's Brew Recipe
Happy almost-Halloween! We had a play date today, and my 5-year-old taste-testers couldn't get enough of this stuff. The comments I overheard were priceless:
"it doesn't taste like there are spiders or lizards or bugs in it"
"how did your mom even know how to make this?"
"is my tongue green yet?"
"I've never had ice cream in a drink before"
"I guess this is why witches have green faces"
This is a super easy hot beverage to whip up, and tastes like a lovely citrus cocktail. I'm sure you could put a shot or two of something in there if you are planning on serving adults.
The Ingredients.
serves 8-10
2 quarts apple juice
2 quarts pineapple juice (or thereabouts. the canned holds 1 quart, 14 oz)
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1 box (6 ounces) lime jello powder
5-6 whole star anise *
orange sherbert (to add before serving)
* I wouldn't go out of my way to purchase star anise if you don't already have it in the house. It looks neat floating in the pot (like little spiders), and provides a touch of a licorice taste, but not enough to justify the expense. If you really want a tad bit of licorice flavor, throw in a few jelly beans and call it a day.
The Directions.
You will need a 5.5 quart or larger slow cooker. If you only have a smaller one in the house, you'll need to cut down the juice quantities.
Pour in the juices, and add the allspice. Stir in the jello powder, and float the star anise (if using) on top. Cover and cook on low for about 5 hours, or on high for about 3. Serve with a scoop of orange sherbert---it will cool the beverage down enough for small children to enjoy right away, and creates a fun foamy slimy film---perfect for Halloween.
The Verdict.
Delicious. It's quite limey in flavor, and a really fun color. I debated whether or not to thrown in a handful of grapes to mimic eyeballs, and am glad I decided not to. I think the possible choking hazard thing would worry me too much. My little friends were thrilled with their after-school snack (I promise I fed them lunch before filling them up with sugar!) and I received many sticky hugs and thank yous.
I also taught them my favorite joke of all time:
What's Ernie's favorite ice cream?
P.S. don't look now, but the Holidays are right around the corner. They really, and truly are. Here's a round-up I did on Totally Together for Holiday Gifts that Support Bloggers.
also, if you have not yet entered the $200 gift card giveaway, it's still going strong over on my Review Blog.
Have a fantastic Halloween. Be safe!

Thanks for the blog and your inspiration. (I won't be making witches' brew though)
I love all words, which means that I read your entire archive over the past couple of weeks.
And have used my slow cooker twice in that time (v.s twice per year)
Such is my infatuation, that when I first read this recipe:
I assumed it was for the slow cooker. and now it is! Extra veggies - check
still frozen chicken - check
hot peppers from a tube - check
wine in the fridge - check
late morning start to work - check
dinner ready with 15 min prep - check

Love this! On familyfun website they have a punch that looks similiar but has different ingredients. They floated swedish fish in it and soaked tapioca so they swelled and put them in as fish eggs... called it swamp something. I think the fish would do ok if added right before serving your warm punch???

I made a half batch for my three goblins to have after a very chilly afternoon of trick or treating. They all loved it. Daddy and I loved the leftovers later in the evening with a little Canadian Club mixed in it.

This was a little sweet for us. That much jello packs quite a punch. The fact that the orange sherbet makes it less sweet was telling for us. I'd 1/2 the jello, but it is a FANTASTIC swampy green. Love your site.
- November 1, 2009 at 8:10 PM
Just got your cookbook in the mail and while I still miss your daily blogging because I looked forward to your humourous comments, this is a real gem. Can't wait to do them. One day at a time, of course!

After cooking all these years I think I must be like many: I had never discovered my slow cooker; not until I picked up your book that is. Thank you. I am having a lot of fun with it but more than that it has bought home the maxim "protein should be cooked as slowly as possible". I.e., the meal is actually better-not just faster.
I'm sure you've heard from others re your hard boiled eggs comment; I read some time ago how sublime eggs are if cooked at below boiling so I put mine in water, on low (180 degrees) til cooked thru and they were the best I've ever had, the texture was perfect. I also tossed some in a braise and they came out with the delicate flavor of the dish.
- November 2, 2009 at 1:13 PM
I made your Indian butter chicken last night. It was so delicious.
I love the glass mug in the picture. Where can you buy a mug like that. I've been searching for years.

This was the favorite drink at the Halloween party we had. I bet you could use this as a Christmas drink if you used a red colored sherbet.

This recipe has been an annual treat for our neighborhood pot luck before trick or treating since I first saw it in 2009. The kids ask for it now and are excited to see me in my witch's costume. I add a shot of rum for the adults. ;) Thank you so much for this recipe. And the star anise does last in my cupboard, so I think it is worth it.

Submission Why Google, Bing, Yahoo should fear ACTA->
littlekorea writes: A top US intellectual property law expert has warned that Silicon Valley's search engines, hosting companies and e-commerce giants have much to fear from the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA), negotiations for which continued in Switzerland today. The fear for search engines in particular is the erosion of 'fair use' protections and introduction of statutory damages, both of which could lead to more copyright claims from rights holders.

A potential partnership between two nonprofit organizations could provide some of the north countrys only support for women recovering from drug addiction.
North Country Freedom Homes Inc., Canton, and New Hope Transformation House Ministries, Potsdam, are in talks to offer a supportive-living arrangement for women who have completed a rehabilitation program.
Gregory A. Aldrich, director of services for North Country Freedom Homes, said he is hopeful that a partnership could happen, but added it is too early to confirm anything.
He said he did not want to give too many details about a potential program that is still in its infancy.
Were in the very, very early stages of the concept right now, he said.
If a partnership does happen, it will start small. Freedom Homes will make a single two-bedroom apartment available to women.
Theyve finished rehab, but they still need some structure and a little more support before they can go back to living independently, said Carolyn M. White, former director of the chemical dependency unit at Canton-Potsdam Hospital, Potsdam, and chairwoman of New Hope Transformation House Ministries.
Helping women recover from drug addiction has been Transformation Houses mission since it was created by members of Potsdams New Hope Community Church in 2012.
Freedom Homes would oversee the apartment, with regular visits from counselors to make sure clients are keeping up with their treatment.
Transformation House, meanwhile, would provide a faith-based approach, with Bible studies at the apartment and encouragement for its occupants to participate in activities at New Hope Community Church.
Years ago, Freedom Homes operated a coed halfway house, but had to restrict it to men only after behavior problems became an issue, according to Mr. Aldrich.
We found that relationships became the drug of choice, he said.
Freedom Homes has served only men ever since, but Mr. Aldrich acknowledged the need for care for women in the north country.
There is a real need for a supportive-living type thing for women, especially for those with children, but thats not something that were big enough to consider at this time, he said.
In addition to its two halfway houses, Freedom Homes operates several apartments, one of which would be set aside for women if the partnership with Transformation House comes to fruition.
Hopefully well be able to see our first woman or two in March, Mrs. White said.
Mr. Aldrich said there is still a lot to do before a timetable could be set.
I dont know if wed be able to accommodate that. I certainly hope we could, he said.
New Hope Transformation House Ministries initially was founded with the goal of creating a halfway house for women in downtown Potsdam. Its initial grant application to the states Homeless Housing Assistance Program was denied, largely because of the ministrys lack of experience.
Ms. White said plans for the halfway house are still in the works, and the ministry again will be applying for state assistance soon.
It is in talks for a partnership with United Helpers, in hopes that backing from the well-established nonprofit will help the state look more favorably on its application.

HEUVELTON - Baseball is a game of 21 outs in most high school games.
On Tuesday, Heuvelton needed to record 24 outs and overcome 6-0 and 9-3 deficits to earn a 10-9 eight-inning NAC West opening day win over Harrisville.
In the eighth inning for Heuvelton, Chris Power walked with one-out, stole secondbase and scored on a Matt Guardino RBI single up the middle after Aaron Cobb advanced the runner to thirdbase.
This was a nice comeback for us. With the cold it was just a tough day to throw strikes, said Heuvelton coach David Steele.
Harrisville scored six runs on Heuvelton starter Chris Power in the first inning on four walks. They scored twice more in the second before Jack Palmer took over and allowed just one more run before Mike Martin gained the win in relief. The Bulldogs trio allowed 11 walks combined and struckout 14 batters.
Matt Guardino lead off the second with a double which helped the Bulldogs cut the deficit to 6-3. Heuvelton tied the game with six in the fourth when Cody Holland ripped a single, Aiden Scagel doubled, Jon Sloan singled, Chris Power singled and Holland singled again.
Holland finished 3-4 with a double and two RBI and two runs scored. Power went 2-4 with two RBIs while Matt Guardino finished 2-5 with an RBI. Scagel was 2-4 with two RBI and two runs scored. Mike Guardino, Jack Palmer, Jon Sloan, Mike Martin also singled.
Chris Sullivan and Nick Weir each went 3-4 for Harrisville. Jared Dreythaler logged two hits while Nick Weaver, Joey Butts, and Brackett each singled.
Meanwhile, Morristown won a 10-4 decision over Hermon-DeKalb at DeKalb Junction.
Morristown 10, Hermon-DeKalb 4: Bobby Simmons fired a 17 strikeout, five hitter and defending division champion Morristown broke a 3-3 tie with a four run fourth inning. Luke King delivered three hits while Dakota Marshall supplied two and Ryan Vollmer added a singleton.
Tim Harmer supplied three hits for Hermon-DeKalb.

A highlight of the jamboree will be the introduction of a special six-month-long 50/50 raffle titled: Its your prize - How big do you want it? Tickets are $10 each and will be sold until the first week of August or until sold out. Three thousand tickets will be printed, giving the opportunity for the raffle winner to go home with $15,000.

CANTON The Norfolk woman charged with scamming a priest and his parish out of more than $300,000 has been indicted on two more counts of grand larceny Friday.
A St. Lawrence County grand jury has indicted Bobbie Jo Zeller, 36, of 72 W. Main St., Apt. 4, in the alleged theft of more than $3,000 from a Norwood woman.
Ms. Zeller is now facing two counts of third-degree grand larceny, a class D felony. Those charges will be mounted on top of two counts of second-degree grand larceny, two counts of third-degree grand larceny and one count of first-degree scheme to defraud.
On Sept. 24, St. Lawrence County Judge Jerome J. Richards dismissed three counts of second-degree criminal possession of a forged instrument that were brought against Ms. Zeller based on lack of legally sufficient evidence.
The grand jury alleges that between August 2011 and September 2012, Ms. Zeller cajoled Gloria J. Dietze into giving her little more than $3,000.
She seemed nice and said she had a sick son, Ms. Dietze said in May when she said she developed what she thought was a friendship with Ms. Zeller. She said she was having problems paying her electric bill, car insurance, rent, cable and things like that. She asked me to borrow money and assured me she would pay it back.
Ms. Dietze said she was given excuses on several occasions about why Ms. Zeller could not pay back the money.
All told, Ms. Dietze said she gave her a little more than $3,000. Ms. Dietze did note, however, Zeller had paid her $47 and bought me a couple packs of cigarettes here and there.
I want Bobbie arrested for having stolen money from me, because it is now evident to me that she never had any intention of paying me back and I have been the victim of a scam perpetrated by her to steal my money, she said in May.
Ms. Zeller will be arraigned on the two new charges in county court at a later date.

104 Years of Separated Bicycle Infrastructure
Fantastic film about the history of Dutch bicycle infrastructure. These people will hate it like the plague, but that doesn't really matter, does it?

Try not to use 'These people' as a negative point.
'these people' are merely making do with what they have.
I would very much (and the general cyclists of the UK) would appreciate not being seen as a nuisance , thsnk you.

Mikael, since you seem to see yourself as a counter-weight to VC: if you have better advice on what to do if you happen to be one of the 99% of the world that doesn't live in the Netherlands or Denmark, please, don't hide your light under a bushel. Let the world know how cyclists should deal with three-lane roundabouts. Or high-speed slip roads joining the road in front of you. Or how to get across three lanes of traffic to do a right turn.
These are things I have to do most days, since that's the way the outskirts of my town were designed. If you want to be a utility cyclist here, you have to learn to negotiate them. And pictures of nice ladies in summer frocks don't really help.

"Right-turn" should be "left-turn" in the above comment, if you live where one drives on the right (most places, obviously).

Hello I might have to read back your blogs which had been written a lot. But lemme say my thought now. I feel European countries like Netherlands there have been more bike lanes than Japan while I have watched the movie. But I think many many people ride bicycles safely in Japan. I don't think bike lanes are necessary at least immediately in Japan. We love bicycles and we can ride bicycles safely since I think cars should pay attention to walkers and cyclists carefully. Thanks. I will keep reading your blog.

No. This is an extremely dangerous (way to talk about) history.
First of all, to compare the situation which "vehicular cyclists" deal with (and perhaps enable to some extent) with that in the Netherlands leaves out at least one alternative...
I love what Mark Wagenbuur does. Many videos on his You Tube Channel are also on the excellent A View From the Cycle Path (this a direct link to a post with another great Wagenbuur video), often accompanied by interesting comments.
The not-recent history of surface transport in the Netherlands is mostly new to me (and I appreciate this very much). The problem in the story starts with railways, which - relatively-speaking - introduce a kind of precursor to hypermobility to the country. Trains, like trams, increased the distances between destinations, making speed necessary to compete, and thus addictive. But until various decades in the first half of the 20th century this still kept cycling popular and/or dominant.
The fatal error came - as the video shows, but with a different take on it - when cities introduced a design style from the countryside. It seems that this was not seen as a fatal error by enough people at the time: Either there were three options in the cities (i.e. keep streets the way they are OR separation for cyclists OR keep the motorized vehicles out) or just the first two. The video does not make clear exactly who made the decision. Were people predicting the situation about 50 years later in the 1960's (my understanding is that this was the nadir of cycling in the NL as well as in Denmark)? If so, were their voices ignored? If there were not many voices - and so not three choices - it is fair to say that this was bad and wrong, but we must also appreciate everything which has been to fight back (very much including the new design elements in the video which I provide the link to in the Hembrow blog).
So, these days, when at its best cycling modal share is about 50% (as it is Groningen in the north of NL) and innermost parts of Amsterdam, Copenhagen etc.) is the glass half-full or half-empty? This beverage also contains collective public transport (nearly and chronically ignored in most cycle-cheerleading), but what if the split is half private automobiles and half bicycles? Should we be half-happy or half-sad? (re: cheerleading, notice how that story does not mention collective PT?) It depends on who is writing or showing the history, yes? Indeed, could the private automobile lobby show a video on their You Tube channel, boasting how they have managed to hold on to a huge modal share despite the traffic jams, parking costs, "green" and health issues?

Cycling in the Netherlands is great - safer, etc. than here in Germany, where the separation model has been used often at the expensive of pedestrians - but I don't think it is accurate to say that the bicycle has "won" there (as someone told me recently). It is more truthful - and more objective - to say that the car has had a (very) conditional surrender (I am reminded also of something my father told me: During WWII - my father was in Slovakia and a child at the time - the German radio referred to everything post-Stalingrad as a "strategic withdrawal"). The bikes move faster than motor vehicles much of the time on separated paths in Dutch cities when the motorised lanes are congested, so actually these paths can more positively be called "mobility express lanes"! (not just "bicycle highways"). But at the same time there are still a very high number of people trapped in their cars, and they are not the only ones who are suffering. Noise and gas/particle emissions still exceed allowed limits in parts of the Netherlands (and Denmark, and of course in many other European countries), and this hurts everyone.
Looking back over 100 years it is perhaps easy to condemn a decision, or how it was made, or indeed if anyone cared, but allowing (especially private) motor vehicles (which kill on contact at only half of their design speed) inside cities was a mistake, and a very, very difficult one to correct.
This comment may also appear in my Blog where it will be updated if necessary.

As has been stated before many times we have a Shoddy Infrastructure in Dublin very much like the UK although luckily for us not the same amount of Cars,so a slight bit more Breathing space but not much.
As it has also been said that there is a need to Vehicle Cycle on a lot of occasions in order to survive. It is just not possible to adhere to the Segregated Cycle Lanes Religeousely without finding yourself going down a side Road at Junctions or being forced to come to a halt to wait at numerous Junction for Traffic to pass. If you go on the Cycle Lanes you have to keep out in the Traffic to avoid Doors opening and get out in the Road at a Junction in case you are hit by Traffic turning.
However this is very Tiring constantly watching out in case you get hit. So anytime you do come along a long Stretch of Road where you can get off it it is a Pleasure to Cycle on a Segregated Path. These are few and far between,like along the Stillorgan Road or Tallaght Road or on the Clontarf Cycleway.
I am constantly Advocating for Segregated Cycleways but in a lot of cases I get People opposed to this because they are afraid it will be just more of the same bad Infrastructure that is foisted on us again.
To not bother to do anything and just leave it as it is would be wrong so we have to keep Agitating for a better Infrastructure. Now is the best time to do it when we have a lot more Cyclists on the Roads Screaming for better Facilities.
The more Safer it is the more People will Cycle and not just the Vehicular Cyclists who are just accepting the Status Quo and given up on improving things.
It is however an Uphill struggle with any improvements being given Grudgingly by a Car Dependent City Council. Half of which are Pro Motorist and the other half of varying degrees of Support for Cycling.
- 04:24
Well... Nevertheless our lack of sympathy to the "sect", that's interesting to hear, that the most car-bike collisions occur on intersections, where cars "meet" bicycles. It explains vehicular cycling (VC) position clearly. And explains why separated cycling (SC) is in fact only a little more safe than VC. SC is much more convenient and, in centers of the cities, faster than VC for they are not congested. Besides, in cities which have enough space reserve in the street system, separation of bikeways is possible, but there are cities, where only VC is possible. What then? VC marketing should not obscure real conditions, occuring here and there. And in those places VC is only reasonable solution. And in those places even your lovely grandma has to obey traffic rules. All the rest is a matter of culture of cyclists, pedestrians and drivers.
- 05:13
Ed, Mikael is addressing Vehicular Cycling advocates. I.e. people who actively -and aggressively- oppose the Dutch or Danish model of infrastructure claiming that cycling in the traffic is the way forward.

- Martin Ginkel said...
I am probably one of 'These People', but I have the feeling that you need some update on facts: It is objectivly not safer to ride on a separate bicycle infrastructure. It just feels safer, like it feels safer in a car (but it isn't) and like some people feel safer with a styrofoam bowl on their head (which still does not help).
It might well be that this 'feeling safer' brings more people to bikes, but at the same time it places them in danger (if they really trust in the fact that motorized drivers respect their safe bike lanes).
Most accidents happen on intersections and with the typical half separated infrastructure more serious accidents happen to cyclists (The typical turning truck). Not to mention the encounters with pedestrians that consider any paved surface up the curb as "theirs".
Even the german legislation has acknowledged that bike lanes don't help with safety and therefore allows to assign the 'mandatory bike lane' traffic sign only as an exception.
For more facts about the so-called 'Safety' on bike lanes you can read here:

I think your stance is a little indifferntiated. It also depends on whether a bike lane existing includes prohibition of cycling on the road or not.
There shure is a real advantage of having a bike lane giving you the possibility to cycle where cars can't go (They've got highways, why shouldn't bikes have them too?). But over here in Germany the reality is a little different.
Car roads are here, and bike lanes most of the time are "wrapped along them", or "cut of the pedestrian space". You most of the time have the problems that there are frequent entrances to supermarket parking lots, gas stations, smaller roads, etc. Each of these junctions means primarily one thing: You've got a straight lane next to a lane for cars turning right. This makes the risk of getting run over in such junctions 14 times higher then if you just ride on the road. If you have the space to give bike lanes a separate way, they are nice. 99% of those bike lanes around cologne aren't. Roads with bike lanes next to them also make it difficult for cars to avoid such accidents.
Many of the German pro-bike lane voices see the biking and the infrastructure for it as a requirement for leisure activities. While it might be that for many, its clearly not for me (most of the time ;-).
About me:
I like my life (14 times as dangerous!). My daily commute is 20 km back & forth. I most often ride a roadbike (as weather permits) I also own other bikes (and no car anymore for 10 years); and my experience on all of them is: bike lanes kill! I don't want them, and I don't use (most) of them. While I own an Airzound, I realy don't pretend to be a car.

It seems to me that the issue can be broken down into parts. First, engineering the various infrastructure parts for the speed and charecteristics of the traffic it is meant to handle, i.e cars and trucks, or "high energy" modes require a certain type of design where as cycling or "low energy" modes require something different. Where the modes intertwine requires another type. In the end it's just math. Secondly there is the problem of re-training the public at large to adapt to a new model for transportation modes. In the U.S. our car-centric culture has difficulty accepting bicycles as a legitimite mode of transport. Mikael has pointed it out in the past that part of our problem is branding and marketing. Maybe if we start talking about transportation modes as being high energy or low energy instead of cars and bicycles and the infrastructure as high speed and low speed instead of roads vs. bike paths, we might change the perceptions on both sides.
- 15:18
- Peter said...
Another way to look at it -
For 104 years the automotive sect has been trying to relegate bicycles off of the original roads and onto secondary facilities. Luckily, in some places like the Netherlands these secondary facilities are probable as good or better, from the bicyclists' point of view, as the original main roads for getting around and going to common destinations.
In other places these secondary facilities are ghettos to keep the bicyclists out of the way. They give poor access to the shops and other destinations people travel to and are more dangerous than traveling on the roadways with the cars.

As with all difficult situations, the answer is often more complex. For the UK at the moment...
1. Segregated Infrastructure is vitally important in the prioritising of bikes and promotion to motorists to choose cycling instead. Current attitudes of motorists to bike verge on the fascist.
2. We have little room, money or will for SI - what can be done should but will take decades to even start to approach what the Europeans have.
3. VC is a given in the UK. We must rely on safety in numbers to bring about the needed change in driver attitudes.

Nice video. Is that the world's first laptop at 0:53?
- 17:42
- David Hembrow said...
The video is rather out of context here. It originally appeared on my own blog back in June together with Mark's writing about the history and a couple of photos.
mikey2gorgeous: The excuses of "little room" and "not enough money" don't actually hold water. Yes, it will take decades, but first of all a start has to be made.

David, there is some missing infrastructure in your link to the June appearance of this video.

As an American reader who believes (sort-of) in VC, I will concede that a lot of VC proponents are too dogmatic for their own good, let alone the good of cycling as a component of the whole transportation picture.
However, while lack of room and funding are large hurdles, and make it necessary to ride as part of traffic instead of having the luxury of separate facilities, the larger hurdle (at least in my own view) is the opinions of the general public against spending the money and losing the pavement share to a mode they see as leeches (the whole "bikers don't pay road tax" red herring we've heard so many times...). They consider bikes to be merely toys or at best workout equipment for the rich (or wish-to-be rich), and best kept in a park (which they think should be paid for with private donations instead of tax dollars).
As others have opined, while I applaud having well-designed bicycle-specific infrastructure, the slapped-on painted lines that pass for such here in the US are more often more dangerous than riding on the roadways, yielding the result that VC (or some lessons from it) need to be employed for me to get from point a to point b by bike.
I don't have to be an acolyte of VC to use the more applicable of its principles.

- David Hembrow said...
Todd, thanks for pointing out the broken link. I'll try again: Here is Mark's text about the video, giving some context. It's one of several posts about the history of cycling in the Netherlands.
- 18:35
- Green Idea Factory said...
OK. I read about the video in "context" but I still don't know how the decision was made. Even with a better understanding I feel it still glosses over the hell of the - sure, relatively more controlled - private urban motor vehicle in Dutch (and other) cities.
- 04:22
It isn't a secret.
It's how a lot of smart and experienced people get around by bike. You are unwise to dismiss the "secret sect" as you seem to do.
If one can't handle such a simple thing as riding in the roadway one must be accommodated, too.
If I feel it's unsafe and slow, I avoid it, no problem.
Dissent is allowed even among cycling advocates, so don't be so dismissive or narrow-minded. These people know things that you don't. And vice-versa.
- 22:16
I guess that you can say that I belong to that "sect" since when I ride my bicycle I try to avoid all sort of bike paths/lanes that fortunately don't abound in the city where I live.
However I don't hate that video, anymore that I would hate a video explaining why whites are the master race. It's just full of lies, so there really isn't much to rationally argue about. However it does say a lot about you, your political agenda and your dislike of those pesky facts. In other words, as someone else has already put it around here, it shows that you are full of it.

York, PA -
An ornate gift box adorned with a tiny hot-pink and black polka-dot high-heeled shoe isn't something most folks would expect to find at a baseball game.
Yet Kathi Viehman, owner of a small business that makes custom gift boxes, shares the same objective as the York Revolution.
Both want to increase business and help grow the local economy.
Recently, they partnered at a function with several other companies for an event geared to capitalize on each others' commerce.
The idea to combine forces came from Buy Local Coalition - a network that encourages local businesses to buy goods and services from each other and share their customer base.
"It's the largest reference network on the local level that you can find," said Colin Cameron, corporate partnerships associate for the York Revolution and member of Buy Local Coalition.
In September, the Revolution hosted a Girls' Night Out at Sovereign Bank Stadium. The event, presented by Memorial Hospital, drew almost 6,000 visitors.
"We contact different vendors . . . It's a really different and interesting night," Cameron said of the popular program that brings more women to the ballpark. "It's always nice to expand your market . . . open our doors to everybody."
Viehman, who makes elaborate gift boxes at her Spring Garden Township home-based business Packaged To Perfection, set up a display at Girls' Night.
"That led to more business and invitations to participate in craft shows and things like that," she said.
Viehman started the box business in February 2011 after working in public libraries.
"I'd left a job and was looking for a creative outlet," she said and described her craft.
"They're handmade paper gift boxes," she said. "I design and create each one starting with a sheet of paper. . . . It's creating the box itself."
The idea for the boxes -- which come in a 4-inch-square size for $10 and smaller version for $6 -- came from a love of scrapbooking, she said.
"I'm very passionate about it," she said of creating gift box art.
The new business "started with friends and sort of grew from there."
She later joined the Buy Local Coalition, which "took my boxes to another level," she said.
"It's very, very well done . . . just a very good resource for everyone," she said of the coalition and movement to encourage shoppers to patronize local businesses. "You're keeping the money in the neighborhood. It builds relationships. It builds trust, and trust in business is often very hard to come by."
Crystal Davis is one of the founding members of Buy Local Coalition, which was formed about 18 months ago.
The coalition encourages businesses in York, Adams, Lancaster, Dauphin and Cumberland counties to support each other. It also hosts educational and networking events to help its member businesses grow.
The idea for the network came from a group of local professionals including Davis, who works as a sales representative for locally owned KBS -- a dump truck service company in Jackson Township.
Founding members of the coalition include KBS, Penn Waste, Quality Digital Office Technology, Rohrbaugh Insurance, Ream Printing, York Traditions Bank, Kibler Auto Glass, Keystruct Construction and On Site Auto Sales.
"We decided the Buy Local movement was something that could work here," she said.
The coalition, which was recently designated a nonprofit organization and is governed by a board of directors, is free to join and does not include membership dues.
Members of the group volunteer time, goods and services such as space to hold events, food and beverages, speakers, business cards and attorney fees.
"We do have membership across the board and we're really, really growing," said Davis, vice president of the coalition's board. The network gets roughly 25 new members from a variety of industries each month, she said.
"The majority of our members are in York. We hope to expand, get more events from the other four counties," she said. "Our members have seen an increase in their business from other Buy Local Members."
When consumers buy from local businesses, more money stays in the community, which benefits area nonprofit groups and neighborhood projects, Davis said.
"The money recirculates locally," she said.
Marc Ungar, regional manager at York-based MidAtlantic Industrial Equipment and Buy Local Coalition president, said the network is gaining momentum.
"We have seen the power in numbers," he said via email. "We have also seen over 100 (percent) growth in the coalition in a year's time."
THE BUY LOCAL COALITION, a relatively new nonprofit group that serves York, Adams, Lancaster, Dauphin and Cumberland counties, aims to educate the public about the benefits of buying from local businesses.
The growing coalition includes hundreds of local members, such as:
--- Atomic Bounce in York
--- Case's Soy Candles in Felton
--- Dietz Nauman in Mount Wolf
--- Grindstone Outdoors in Delta
--- Interstellar Studios & Productions in Red Lion
--- JAZ Design Company in Rossville
--- King's Pet Adaptive Services and Supplies in Wellsville
--- Miller & Son in Fawn Grove
--- Penn-Mar INK in Glen Rock
--- Splash Window Cleaning in Wrightsville
--- Unique Scapes LLC in Stewartstown
The group is free to join. Learn more at www.buylocalcoalition.com/index.html.
Local businesses have deep community roots
Dover-area native Dave Cochran was 12 years old when he got a job as a floor sweeper and helper in a shoe repair shop. Two years later, he owned his own business.
"His dad cosigned a loan," said Donna Cochran of her husband and father-in-law. Dave Cochran used the money to buy an old shoe repair shop that was out of business.
That was 48 years ago.
Since then, Dave Cochran moved his store to other locations.
Today, Dave and Donna Cochran own Dave's Shoe Repair in Dover Township. The couple have worked at the location since about 1985.
Loyal local customers have helped them remain successful, Donna Cochran said.
But the path to success is a two-way street.
"He respects his customers. . . . He's friendly, listens to what they want and tells them what they need," Donna Cochran said. "He has a good following in the business . . . a big customer list. You can recognize faces."
Judy Toomey's father was the original owner of Jackson Township-based KBS trucking company in the mid-1950s and ran the business from their home.
She helped process paperwork for the company when she was a child and continued working for the family business into adulthood.
As a young mother raising her small children, she worked for the business from her home.
Today, she is office manager at KBS and has handled the company's payroll since the 1960s.
Why buy local
--- "By making the decision to use a local company (versus) the big box stores or companies not headquartered locally, you have the opportunity to keep money in our community, stimulate the local economy and keep your friends, family and neighbors working."
-- Marc Ungar, York-based MidAtlantic Industrial Equipment regional manager and Buy Local Coalition president
--- "I'm a big believer in 'I scratch your back, you scratch mine.' . . . Customers that use our business, I try to help them."
-- Chris Markey, general manager of promotional apparel and products company 2theTee Outfitters in West York
--- "It's sustainability for the local economy. . . . (Money) circulates (and) comes back to you eventually."
-- Hunter Lamparter, president of M&M Pallet in West York
--- "When I need a service, I would rather be able to look the person in the eye. . . . It just creates a better connection."
-- Beth Fowler, business mentor for York SCORE in Manchester Township

How to shop for men's Patagonia board shorts
"Over the past couple of years, Patagonia has both expanded and tweaked their best-selling collection of men's board shorts. These changes are all for the better — but it can make shopping for a pair confusing. For example, the summer 2013 collection includes 8 different shorts. Eight!! That's a lot of choices, right? That means there are Patagonia board shorts for everyone — and really, these are all super nice, they're the best board shorts out there — but if you want to make sure you choose the best pair for you, I'm here to help..."

I am certainly wondering, if this same "test" was given to blacks would it not also show the same results in reverse?
Linn- I am positive it may (as people say; "two wrongs do not make a right"); but whether it would or would not is irrelevant, the fact of the matter is that this implicit bias is taking place when it should not. Hiring managers are required to be impartial: just like a jury in a civil/criminal trial....
Well the Matrix will face Karma. To gain some insight. The Black man ( for those that don't innerstand) were in America 4,000 years before a white man got to so-called America. The European like everywhere else conquered the land and put his sytem into place. So expect some rejection. Ahhhhhhhhhhhh – the Truth hurts but it will set you free. We as people (who are conscious) are here to in this incarnation to gain information. So if there are some disruption in our paths learn to overcome them. Not getting that All-American job is one of them.
that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard

Rays Odds n Ends, 940 Ford St., is bursting with knick-knacks, furniture, glassware and almost anything else you could imagine.
Ogdensburg needed some place where people can buy furniture at discount prices, Ray R. Harmon Jr., co-owner, said.
The store, which opened last week, already carries a variety of items ranging from tools to art, and Mr. Harmon said he plans on expanding the selection.
Well make it work, he said of the daunting task of fitting more merchandise into the store.
Ray R. Harmon Sr., co-owner, said the store is never the same twice thanks to frequent shipments of new goods. He said he and his son also buy merchandise through auctions and online.
It changes all the time, Mr. Harmon Sr. said.
At the moment the store has a sizable toy collection, used book section and antiques. Furniture lines the stores walls and glassware populates the shelves.
The store also features consignments with local artists and craft makers.
And this isnt the first time the father-son team has worked on selling a wide variety of goods.
For the last six months the Harmons have been running a similar business out of the Canton Fashion Kraze flea market.
But because they live in Ogdensburg, they wanted to bring their business closer to home.
We dont have to travel as far, Mr. Harmon Jr. said. Were hoping that people can come here and buy furniture at discount prices. Weve got some nice stuff.
To formally introduce the business to the city, Rays Odds n Ends will hold a grand opening May 3 through 5.
Starting today, anyone who purchases goods at the store will be entered into a drawing for a $50 gift certificate to the store. Second prize is a $25 gift certificate. The drawing will be May 4 at 2 p.m.
During the grand opening weekend, customers will get 10 percent off their purchases, Mr. Harmon Jr. said.
Its been pretty good, Mr. Harmon Jr. said of the stores first week operating in the city. Weve been getting good feedback from everyone.
The store is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. every day.

Neoconservative Republicans are none too pleased by President Obama's nomination of Chuck Hagel to the position of Secretary of Defense.
Anyone who has been listening to neoconservative talk radio for the last couple of days, or reading such neoconservative publications as The Weekly Standard and National Review, is all too familiar with the litany of charges of which Hagel is presumed guilty. When it comes to foreign policy, Hagel is an "appeaser," "naïve," and "no friend of Israel."
These allegations may or may not be true. What is true is that Hagel's accusers haven't even come close to substantiating any of them.
Mine is an attitude of indifference toward Hagel. To his credit, he was a trenchant critic of the Iraq War. However, he had none of the prescience of those of the war's opponents who resisted it from the outset, for Hagel initially voted for it. The point, though, is that it is his opposition to this war that first rendered him persona non grata to his fellow neoconservative Republicans who aggressively advocated on its behalf.
They will not publicly admit this now, obviously. After all, as the elections of 2006 and 2008 proved beyond a doubt, to say nothing of poll after poll, it was some time ago that the majority of the nation decided the Hagels of the world were correct about the war while the Kristols, Krauthammers, Hannitys, Limbaughs, and Bennetts were sorely mistaken.

Apparently, the guy received a gift card instead of Diablo III due the game's rating and him being underage. Worse yet, Reddit user schf1ftyfive points out that Battle.net is apparently linked with social security numbers in South Korea, which means that this guy could not activate the game even if he did purchase it.

BUT as to just what excellent results can be obtained with a "compact" digital camera and daylight illumination, (with a little software assist maybe), have a look at the really splendid photos posted on eGullet by 'Chufi'. Skill matters more than equipment!
One recent example -
and if you check the EXIF metadata, you'll see that it was taken on a humble Canon A620 compact...
I'll return to respond to the rest later, but I keep forgetting to say this and it's important, so I'll say it now.
First, that's not really so different from what I was saying originally. I was criticized for suggesting my "compact" digital camera as not worth the money. Having a good eye for detail and framing is more important than anything else.
Secondly, if you're using that picture as an example of depth of field using a "compact", keep in mind that that's in macro mode. Which wouldn't really help much for taking pictures of cakes, unless they're reaaaaaaaaaally small and cute. Mmmm, small cute cakes.
Anyway, more on the other things later. I'm tired and lazy.

My experience with Dr. Saffer and his staff were beyond anything I have ever experienced in my life!! I actually came from Utah to have my hysterectomy done by him. His surgical skills are phenomenal and my recovery time was less than a week. Before surgery he listened to my concerns and helped me weigh all of my options. When I finally chose the surgical option, he made sure it was done in the least evasive way. He treated me like I was family, and I think he really cares about each of his patients. He even called me after I got back to Utah to make sure I was doing well. The entire experience was amazing and I would do it again in a heartbeat!

Dr. Saffer is the best OB I've ever had. He's so kind, patient, and had a bedside manner that is both professional yet caring. He's the reason why I stay with Sharp Community.

Very compassionate, caring. Takes time with his patients, explains everything. His staff is great. Along with Dr. Marcrander, Dr. Saffer delivered my twins, and they are both excellent OB/GYNs.

I had a high risk pregnancy so that meant lots of appointments. Knowing that I can say I absolutely love these doctors and staff. I never had any issues with anything. The office is easy to get to, has close parking, a friendly staff and the most important to me the knowledgable sincere doctors. I would strongly recommend this office.

He delivered both my girls. I had Preeclampsia with both. I was on bed rest for weeks before being induced both times. I LOVE him!! He is so passionate about what he does. He has amazing bedside manner. Really kind, compassionate and professional. He doesn't take chances. Really looks out for you and spends the time to access your needs. Highly recommended. I can;t say enough.

Dr. Saffer and his entire staff treated me with respect and great care. I was a high risk OB patient and he treated me with extra care. I was supposed to deliver at Sharp mary Birch with him but my son had other plans and I ended up delivering at another hospital. Dr. Saffer called every day to check on how I was doing. I'd recommend Dr. Saffer or any of his colleauges.

I can promise anyone that my son would not have been so healthy, nor I, had it not been for this great man! He was the kindest, most gentle doctor I have ever been too. He treated me with the greatest respect and made me feel important. He was also very watchful in my delicate condition. He never questioned putting me in the hospital for observation. I wasn't the easiest of patients by any means and he was an absolute angel! Our son was an IVF baby so he was terribly precious to us. Dr. Saffer made sure he came to us safe and sound! I will forever be so indebted to him for all that he did for my family and I! The best part is, all the nurses at the hospitals love him too. Every time I told them he was my Dr. I got ooooh's and ahhhh's and told I was in the best hands. Everyone raves about him! He is the best afterall!

Expansion of the Tchimpounga Chimpanzee Rehabilitation Center
In 2011, after three years of planning and hard work, the Jane Goodall Institute (JGI) successfully secured the land necessary to expand the Tchimpounga Chimpanzee Rehabilitation Center (TCRC), JGI's chimpanzee sanctuary in the Republic of the Congo. JGI intends to expand the sanctuary by building supplementary facilities on three islands in the nearby Kouilou River. The islands will offer the chimpanzees a much larger, natural setting where they can learn, grow and build social bonds in a secure environment.
Background / Issues:
Since 1992, JGI has worked tirelessly to look after the welfare of the orphaned chimpanzees residing at the sanctuary. Most of the orphaned chimps living there were confiscated by Congolese authorities as part of their efforts to stop the illegal commercial bushmeat and pet trades. The rescued chimps are cared for at JGI's TCRC, which is currently the largest chimpanzee sanctuary in Africa. Originally designed to care for 30 chimpanzees, today the TCRC provides sanctuary for more than 140 orphan chimps who can live as long as 60 years. The TCRC staff also cares for eight adult mandrills.
Key Project Activities:
The Institute is committed to expanding its facilities to ensure the physical and emotional well-being of the animals under its care, as well as the safety of JGI's dedicated staff. With the cooperation and assistance of the Congolese government and other partners, JGI will relocate 60 of the largest and strongest chimpanzees from the existing TCRC site to Tchindzoulou Island, one of the three islands in the Kouilou River.
The facilities on the three islands will provide:
- Nearly 100 times more forest area for the chimpanzees enabling them to run virtually wild and free;
- A controlled setting where chimpanzees can have access to more natural habitat, but can be closely monitored, receive provisional food, and receive veterinary care, if required;
- A reduction in infrastructure costs and maintenance as the islands create a natural boundary for the chimpanzees, thereby minimizing the need for fencing and staff to operate and maintain the site; and
- Improved and safer viewing opportunities for local residents and visitors once future education and ecotourism elements are developed.
JGI will begin by designing a master architectural plan for the entire site, as well as constructing a dormitory for chimpanzees to stay overnight, whether for integration with other chimps or for medical care. In addition, several ecoguard posts, accommodation for 10 staff members, and additional support buildings for food storage and preparation will be constructed. Finally, JGI will purchase equipment such as boats, a welding generator and a solar electric system.

Hoyas Too Much For Men's Basketball
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Doug McDermott had his second straight double-double (22 points & 12 rebounds) and moved into ninth on the NCAA's all-time scoring list, but it wasn't enough as Georgetown upset the No. 13 Creighton men's basketball team, 75-63, on Tuesday night at Verizon Center in Washington D.C.
Creighton lost its second straight and fell to 23-6 (13-4 BIG EAST), while Georgetown improved its at-large NCAA Tournament case by improving to 17-12 (8-9 BIG EAST).
Creighton scored on the first possession of the game, an Ethan Wragge three-pointer, but that would be its only lead of the game. The Hoyas responded with seven straight points. Creighton played would tie the game at 9-all and 11-all, only to watch the hosts pull away. Jabril Trawick drained a pair of three-pointers before seven points from D'Vauntes Smith Rivera helped the Hoyas to a 24-19 lead. The margin reached double-figures at 34-23 on an alley-oop to Trawick with 4:07 left in the first half, and was 42-28 at the break to rank as CU's largest halftime deficit of the season.
Smith-Rivera had 13 points at the break while Trawick added 10 more for GU, which shot 61.5 percent in the half. Creighton was paced by eight first half points from Austin Chatman.
Creighton relied on seven consecutive points from Doug McDermott to get within 51-41with 12:53 left, only to watch Smith-Rivera drain a back-breaking trey with 12:36 to play and return the margin to 13.
McDermott later drained consecutive triples to trim GU's margin to nine at 59-50 with 8:05 left, and to 61-55 with 5:02 to go on another three-pointer by McDermott. A triple by Grant Gibbs cut CU's deficit to 63-58 with 2:11 left, and he'd add another trifecta with 1:29 left to trim the margin to 66-61 with 1:29 to go. But Georgetown ran down the clock and made its biggest hoop of the night, a lay-in by senior Aaron Bowen, and the lead went back to seven. Creighton would get no closer.
McDermott led Creighton with 22 points and 12 rebounds, while Gibbs (17) and Chatman (14) also reached double-figures. CU shot 39.7 percent for the game, including 34.5 percent from three-point range, and also made 7-of-12 free throws.
Georgetown was led by 18 points from Smith-Rivera, 17 by Starks, 15 from Trawick and 10 by Hopkins. Starks added a career-high 11 assists, while Mikael Hopkins tied his best with five blocks. Smith-Rivera added a double-double with 12 rebounds, as well. Georgetown shot 54.0 percent from the floor and sank 14-of-21 free throws. The Hoyas won the battle of the boards 33-30 and outscored CU 32-22 in the paint.
Creighton will host Providence on Saturday at 7:07 pm in a game televised nationally by CBS Sports Network. McDermott, Gibbs, Wragge and Jahenns Manigat will be honored after the game as part of Senior Day.
NOTES: Doug McDermott moved into ninth in NCAA history on the all-time scoring list, passing Danny Manning, on a score with 15:45 left in the second half. He now owns 2,566 career points ...Among those in attendance were BIG EAST commissioner Val Ackerman and NCAA President Mark Emmert ...D'Vauntes Smith-Rivera had his first career double-double ...Creighton had just one turnover in the second half.

MORRISTOWN - The Morristown Town Council accepted a bid by Cooke Sand and Gravel to supply the town with sand for its roads during the winter.
The contract with Gouverneur-based Cooke Sand and Gravel will see the town purchase screened sand at $7.75 per ton including delivery.
No other companies submitted bids for the contract.
That represents an increase of $1 per ton over last years contract that saw Cooke Sand and Gravel provide sand to the town for $6.75 a ton, Highway Supervisor Michael L. Bogart said.
According to Mr. Bogart the town uses up to 6,000 tons in an average winter. Mr. Bogart said the increase is likely due to the supply of sand which fluctuates on a year-to-year basis.
Deputy Supervisor W. Howard Warren said, Its the only bid weve got and weve got to get sand.
Mr. Warren and Councilors David VanArnam and Gary Turner voted in support of the contract. Supervisor Frank L. Putman was absent and Councilor David W. Stout III abstained from the vote.
At the August meeting Highway Supervisor Michael L. Bogart said Mr. Stout told him he believed he could supply the town with sand from his Stouts Ready Mix business for less than Cooke Sand and Gravel.
Mr. Stout was not at the August meeting.
Steven G. Leventhal, co-chairman of the state Bar Association, Municipal Law Section, said the town would be in violation of state law if they contracted with Mr. Stouts company.
In August Mr. Stout said he would only submit a bid if he could do it legally.
