A densely wooded swath of land between Lake Washington and Lake Sammamish, the area where Bellevue now stands was sparsely settled before the 1900s. If the thick forest weren't imposing enough, large boggy areas could intimidate would-be settlers. Native American tribes in the region favored the coast to the west and the plains east of the mountains.
In 1867 coal was discovered in the Coal Creek area, and white settlers began to arrive as extensive mining got underway at the Newcastle Coal Mine. William Meydenbauer and Aaron Mercer, wealthy adventurers from Seattle, staked large claims here in 1869. Over the next 40 years, other white settlers, including Civil War veterans awarded homesteads for their service, trickled into the vicinity.
Logging, almost by necessity, joined mining as an early occupation on the Eastside, as the settlers needed to clear land for their farms. During that period, the area got a post office and a schoolhouse. In the 1880s, the village got a name. Conflicting accounts attribute the name Bellevue ("Beautiful View" in French) to the view from the new post office's window or to the city in Indiana of the same name from which prominent settlers came.
Bountiful harvests
With the turn of the century, Bellevue prospered as a farming community. The rich soil yielded bountiful harvests, and the residents sold their fruit and vegetables, ferried across Lake Washington to Seattle, then transported even farther after a Northern Pacific rail line came through in 1904.
Japanese immigrants, brought to Washington to clear and improve property claims, made the most of small plots they leased. They established a collective warehouse and soon produced the bulk of the strawberries and vegetables harvested in Bellevue. The town's agrarian success was celebrated with the first Strawberry Festival in 1925.
With a Bridge, a Suburb Emerges
The completion of the first bridge across Lake Washington in 1940 was a major event for Bellevue, bringing an influx of new residents. Unfortunately, after the United States entered World War II, the federal government sent the Japanese-Americans who had put the city on the agricultural map away to internment camps.
It was a great loss to the community, but new multitudes came to Bellevue. Bellevue Square, one of the first suburban shopping centers in the country, was built then. The opening of a Frederick & Nelson store at Bellevue Square in 1946 was celebrated with an orchestra and a radio broadcast.
Cityhood, then Skyscrapers
The City of Bellevue incorporated in 1953, with a former schoolhouse offered rent-free by the Veterans of Foreign Wars serving as city hall until 1960. The young city proceeded to annex neighboring areas, growing from an area of 4.7 square miles by Meydenbauer Bay to more than 31 square miles today. Annexation History
In the past two decades, the city has grown to skyscraper heights and shed its "suburban" status to become a thriving metropolis and a high-tech hub. Bellevue's gleaming downtown, which continues to grow dramatically, provides office space for thousands of professionals as well as condominiums and apartments for people who want to live in an urban setting.

Swansboro police say a man has been arrested and charged in a woman's murder.
They report John Giltz Jr., who is in his 60s, is in jail.
Police tell WITN 50-year-old Susan Zemlick was shot once and killed in the house she lived in on South Dogwood Lane in Swansboro.
Zemlick had been living there since October 2011, according to police.
Police say Giltz was living at the home. His first court appearance is tomorrow. They say they do not have a motive at this time.
The Swansboro police department is holding a press conference at 3:00 this afternoon.
We expect new information about this week's homicide case.
A woman was killed in her home on South Dogwood Lane.
Swansboro police said earlier this week they had a suspect.
Previous Story:
Police tell WITN Susan Zemlick was shot and killed in the house she lived in on South Dogwood Lane in Swansboro.
Police say they were called to the house off Old Hammock Rd. at 10:50 a.m. on Monday.
Police report they do have a suspect but have not yet made an arrest. They emphasized Wednesday morning that the public is not in danger.
They would not identify the suspect but did tell WITN the victim's estranged husband is not a suspect.
Police now say the person was shot, but have released few other details. We do know it happened on South Dogwood Lane, a quiet cul-de-sac of neat one-story homes in a subdivision off Old Hammock Road.
A barricade has closed off that street while police crime tape surrounds a home half-way up the street. Swansboro police and an Onslow County crime scene unit are still at the scene.
Lawmen say the initial call came in as a suicide, but once investigators arrived that was changed to a homicide.
Neighbors tell us an older couple lives at the home and the man reportedly has some medical issues.
The last fatal shooting in this Onslow County coastal town happened last February when a reserve deputy sheriff killed a Havelock firefighter who was firing a weapon. Prosecutors said that shooting was justified.
WITN News has a reporter at the scene and we'll have updates as more information becomes available.

There's a 1940's era train station that someone was working on a month or so ago, in the Building Forum. Don't know if that will work for you, but its there.
Hey all, I'm looking for a Train station platform to use as a battlemap. My poor search abilities didn't turn up anything. Does anyone know of any that have been done?
It's actually supposed to be a Lightning Rail station platform from Eberron, but I'm hoping to find anything that I could convert...
Edit: just for fun =)
There's a 1940's era train station that someone was working on a month or so ago, in the Building Forum. Don't know if that will work for you, but its there.

I could be mis-remembering but I think the book that image was taken from has a lightning rail station map. If you don't own the book I think you might be able to find it in the Wizards map archive (called maybe map of the week or something?).
Are you looking specifically for a fantasy "train" station map, or would real-world be okay? Model railroading is another hobby of mine and I have found quite a bit of stuff (blueprints, etc) online with google searches. Should be able to find a wide variety - from "union" stations down to small town depots.
Hope that helps...
I had done this map up for an adventure I wrote (personal adventure).

Evil Dead 2 Is Dead
The other matter to consider is that Evil Dead 2: Dead By Dawn is such a massive step up from the original in several ways, and it would be even more overwhelming a task for Fede Alvarez or any other director. This isn't like Halloween II, where Rob Zombie was sequelizing his own film but also making a new version of 1981's not-a-classic sequel of the same name.

Evil Dead Remake Poster Makes A Bold Promise
I have to admit, I am captivated by this poster. The black and white image is chilling, with the gritty impression of blood on creeping down her legs. It's not audacious in its visuals, just in its bold claims: "The most terrifying film you will ever experience." I know many of you are disappointed Raimi is not helming this himself, but if this is a sign of what his mentoring can bring forth from new filmmakers, I think we'll all be grateful and terrified next spring.

Hi fellow CG Members,
As the title suggests, i am looking for a map. I saw it on deviantart and in my stupidity didn't save it, and now i can't find it anymore. The problem is that i am not sure what kind of search-words i used. So i turn to you gals and guys...maybe someone knows the map and can point me to it.
It was a map inspired by a project map of how north-america looked like ~300 million years ago. The artist took that map (will link to two maps at the end of this text) and rotated it and, i think, cut some of it and then overlayed it with his own coloration etc etc . It looked really good.
Here're the two options from which the artist took inspiration (not 100% sure anymore which one of those two but it may help nonetheless) :
inspirational Map 1
inspirational Map 2
That's all i remember. Maybe someone knows the map or maybe the artists is a fellow CG-er.
Anyway, thanks for your help.

Clearwater Beach, Florida - If the South Dakota delegates want to party when they arrive for the Republican National Convention in August, they won't have to go far. The folks from South Dakota will be staying at Shephard's Beach Resort, a place known for its wild parties.
Photo Gallery: Shepard's: Clearwater Beach's biggest party resort
In fact, 10 News pulled some recent pictures taken at the hotel, which show everything from a 2-story beer bong to swimsuit-wearing couples grinding on an outdoor tiki deck. Online we found plenty of videos showing more of the same, including a frozen t-shirt contest.
The somewhat unusual pairing raises the question: did convention organizers realize what type of reputation Shephard's has before they reserved rooms at the hotel?
After seeing pictures of parties at Shephard's, James Davis, the Communications Director for the Republican National Convention, issued a statement to 10 News saying; "These events are in no way connected to the Republican Convention."
Davis went on to say, "The South Dakota delegation will use a substantial portion of the entire hotel property the week of convention, which runs Monday Aug. 27 to Thursday Aug. 30. Delegations attending the convention, will work with hotels to schedule and organize their own events."
The website TripAdvisor.com rates Shephard's as the 49th best hotel in Clearwater to stay. Several previous guests give the hotel a mark of excellent, but the three most recent reviews offer a warning to anyone thinking about staying there.
One guest who said they stayed at Shephard's last month wrote under the title, "Don't book at this hotel unless you have earplugs." Another guest said, "Party YES... sleep NO" while a third person stressed, "Not for families."
10 News called the South Dakota Republican Party several times to see if they were happy with their assigned hotel for the convention, but our calls were not returned.
Neither was our call Shepherd's general manager.
Davis wouldn't say if convention organizers would reconsider South Dakota's hotel assignment, but he did add in a brief phone conversation that, "All of the hotels (selected) are great venues."

Comments about Rage Resistance Bands - X-Light (Black / sold indiviudally):
I use this for curls with a barbell its unlike anything else cause the resistance gets harder as you complete the curl.I also use it for aiding in pullups put my knee through it when I cant do any more and it makes you lighter so you can do more reps. There are many more exercises you can do but once you do curls with it youll never stop. I attach 1 end to the bar & the other under my feet & spread them out. When you cant do anymore let go with you feet. Now you can do more until burnout. This is 40 inchs long.

General Discussion
Frey syndrome is a rare disorder that most often occurs as a result of surgery in the area near the parotid glands. The parotid glands are the largest salivary glands in the body located just below the ears on either side of the face. The main symptoms of Frey syndrome are undesirable sweating and flushing occurring on the cheek, temple (temporal region), or behind the ears (retroauricular region) after eating certain foods, especially those that produce a strong salivary response. Symptoms are often mild and well-tolerated. In some cases, symptoms may be more severe and therapy may be necessary. The exact underlying mechanisms that cause Frey syndrome are not fully understood. Frey syndrome most often occurs as a complication of surgery to the area of the face near the parotid glands.

2009 Ford F-100 Supernationals - It's Tennessee Time!Written by on November 1, 2009 31st Annual F-100 Supernationals
Every May for the last 31 years there has been quite the all-Ford truck show held in Tennessee. People come from all over the country for it, since there is really no other F-100 show like it in the United States. Since 2004, the show has been held in the spacious Chilhowee Park in Knoxville, and upwards of 1,000 Ford trucks fill the grounds, despite the predictable but intermittent spring showers. This year was also the changing of the guards, as it were. Pat Ford decided at the close of the '08 F-100 Supernationals to relinquish the show that he started three decades ago and slow down and enjoy life with his wife. Another show promoter from the South, Charlie Cobble of Autoshows Motorsport Events, bought the F-100 Supernationals and with a little help from Pat, took the reins.
The '09 F-100 Supernationals also saw a change in what was let into the show; it was opened to all Fords instead of just trucks. This isn't that big of a change because there were always special Ford clubs or groups invited to the show to add a bit of variety. There are classes for just about everything now, from '48 and earlier all the way to '09 Mustangs, which may help or hinder the show-only time will tell.
One thing that hasn't changed is that the F-100 Truck Of The Year award is still only open to '53-56 F-100s. We know things have been done a certain way for a long time, and it's not our show, but given what people are doing with "other" F-100s these days it seems there should be some thought to opening the big trophy up to any truck with an F-100 on the pink slip. We remember when it was even said on stage at the awards a few years back that Gary Coe's '57 "F-157" should have won, but couldn't. This year was no exception with Kirk Johnson's Roseville Rod and Custom-built '68 F-100.
The '09 show was still great and it was good to see many friends and feature trucks from past years as well as meeting new faces and avid readers. We appreciate all the kind words and support-keep building trucks and we'll keep putting them in the magazine! For information on the '10 F-100 Supernationals and all-Ford show, as well as the '10 Black Oval giveaway truck, visit www.f100supernationals.com, or call 423-623-4644.

Young blood is good blood! Nineteen-year-old Justin Dossett from Friendsville, Tennessee, was at the show with his recently finished two-toned '77 F-100. He said he was thinking about selling it and starting something else because he likes building them the best, but we hope he keeps the clean shortbed. Stay tuned for a full feature.Here's a dentside that would be a great, everyday, practical classic truck. Those of you with extended or crew cab daily pickups have gotten used to the extra room and this Ranger Lariat model has just what the doctor ordered. There is even subtle green pinstriping to accent the white.Neil Utt had his surprisingly clean-and-simple '57 F-100 at the show all weekend. The single headlight '57 looks natural in DuPont Orange, a tan interior, and polished wheels. We snagged this one for a feature as well.Dan Carpenter had several big-window '56 F-100s hanging out at his booth soaking up both the sun and the rain! The all-silver '56 is our recent cover model; we sealed the deal for first feature rights last year while it was still unfinished.Barbara Younkin decided to restore her father's '63 F-100 back in 2007 and this amazingly pristine truck is the result. It was fresh out of the shop for the show. Jerry Seiber of Columbus, Ohio, did the majority of the hard work along with trying to keep the truck 100 percent original. Stay tuned on this one as well.As always there is a swap meet on the grounds and there are lots of old as well as new parts from a good number of vendors. Complete trucks were also for sale; some were priced right and some were out of this world. It's a buyer's market though, so get out and get yourself a deal on a classic truck!Fellow Californians from No Limit Engineering were out in Knoxville again this year. No Limit has always been involved in the Supernationals-remember the giveaway truck from a couple of years ago? They built it. They were very happy to debut their new Big 10 truck chassis to the public. It's a revolutionary chassis design for many years and makes of classic trucks, we will have the exclusive feature to you soon on this bad boy!
Even in the Tennessee spring rain Mark Colman's '53 was looking suave in silver. The early Effie also had a red interior and as-cast five spokes and hails from Mt. Joliet, Tennessee.Oh man, here's another sharp and stock late dentside F-100. I can't help but like them, especially a shortbed in two-tone paint. This beaut' belongs to Joe Brackett from Jasper, Tennessee.Red always looks good in the afternoon rain. Jerry Crawford drove his '55 panel up from Newman, Georgia.Darin Howard and Wayne Wells' trucks looked like they were having a good ol' time at the show just sittin' there! We're not sure if the two owners know each other, but it seems their shop trucks got acquainted.The giveaway truck for next year is this '55 known as the "Black Oval". Many companies are involved and the truck will be given away as a fairly complete project, so the lucky winner can finish it the way they want. Here it is in the Fatman Fabrications booth after receiving the "gentleman's chop" by the Fatman himself. Go towww.fatmanfab.com or www.f100supernationals.com for more info on the Black Oval.Here's the business side of the Dan Carpenter Specialties booth. You can check out their fine reproduction steel pickup beds, wood kits, accessories, and more at www.dancarpenters.com.Terry J. Van Housen hauled his '55 F-100 dubbed "BEEF E" across the Midwest for the show. The smooth-as-glass Effie features a fair amount of shaving, a top chop, and even some widow tint to avoid a one-arm tan.It seems that someone already had their own black oval! This down-to-business F-100 is owned by Tommy Whitaker and has a heavy chop, a louvered hood and roll pans, plenty of primer, and as-cast Americans to make for one mean ride.
Wiping up the intermittent rain was a full time job, but didn't dampen too many spirits. Mother Nature is always a big part of the Supernationals!It's hard not to like the '61-63 unibody F-100s. Joe Ward from Cherryville, North Carolina, even has a built 223 straight-six in his!This deep black '55 F-100 is owned by Terry and Mitzi Reed from Greenville, Tennessee. The sinister looks of the Ford-powered pickup is set off by the big disc brakes and polished wheels.Kirk Johnson and Roseville Rod and Custom brought out Kirk's now-famous silver '68 F-100 two-thirds of the way across the country to be part of the show. Check your August '09 issue of CLASSIC TRUCKS for the first feature on this stunning bumpside.This '76 F-100 Ranger XLT was looking right in black with some stock chrome accents. The red interior was really eye catching, but we're sure its owner Johnny Morgan already knows this.Speaking of Kirk Johnson and his '68, he of course took the '67-72 class amongst others and carried home the trophy to prove it. We think the F-100 Truck Of The Year award should be open to all F-100s, but what do we know?Steve and Becki Haessly picked up another F-100 Truck Of The Year trophy with their red big-window '56 F-100. Not that the truck isn't very nice, but winning in both 2006 and 2009 with the same truck is all the more reason to open up the year boundaries for the big trophy. We'll see, go to www.f100supernationals.com for details on next year's show.

Bought a total of five backpacks for my 2 daughters and this was one of them. They love and so do I very easy to clean.
That white color.....
I recently got this at my local Sanrio for school (When I saw it, I freaked!). It's a good size, but the color was a big disaster waiting to happen. It is a perfect WHITE! The moment I set it down, it gets dirty. Luckily, it's a good material that I can wipe down. I just wish that the bottom of the backpack was back or something, not white. But discarding the color, it's a wonderful backpack. I was able to fit all my school supplies in it ( 2 binders, 10 notebooks, HK pencil pouch, HK calculator, lots of accessories, coloring utensils, etc.), even with room for some textbooks! Not to mention, this is the cutest backpack! It matches with my HK lunchbox, pen pouch, ruler, erasers, sharpener, calculator, scissors, pens and accessories! Wonderful backpack! Can't wait to see how it works out in school!
I love it!
I got this backpack from [...] not Sanrio, but I LOVE it, it's super light weight, and simply ADORABLE.
Hello Kitty Backpack
First off I was pleasantly surprised to find it was much larger then I expected. Normally online images are grossly misleading in terms of product size, but I could easily fit my laptop inside with room to spare. I often carry large drawing pads and various art supplies along with books and portable gaming devices and still have plenty of room left.
The smaller zippered front pocket has smaller sleeves inside, one sized larger that fits cell phones/smart phones and others that are smaller for things like pencils. The actual inside of the bag doesn't have any pockets however.
love love love
I've had the old version of this backpack for a couple years [only difference is the black logo on front isn't on mine, and my straps/back are white] and I loveeee it. it's really roomy. we take it on vaca and to mostly amusement parks packed down with all the necessities and then some. it's easy to clean and has nice compartments for smaller things. I would definitely recommend! so cute too!
I Love this bag
Very pretty bag. I bought it for my 7 year old daughter. She loves it. Good quality.
Cute and Roomy
This backpack is adorable! I love the sparkly red bow and the little kitty ears. It is light weight and easy to clean. It is surprisingly spacious and well made, good construction on bag and material. It is useful for packing books / lunch to school or going to the gym or even using it for day to day activities. Great purchase!
Highly durable material
I carry general things in the backpack. I used it at the local flea market a couple of times. The worst problem I have had with it is trying to get it open-- which is a good and bad thing. It'shard to pull the zipper if you don't fold back the fabric but it also keeps water from getting in and is mostly caused by durable fabric. It's made a smoother material that is vert easy to clean (I cleaned dirt off quickly with a baby wipe recently). The sequins fall off of the bow quickly, but that was to be expected. It could use more pockets but has a lot more room than I expected. It's a good bag so far.

Warning: this is going to be a long post. Why? Because this subject deserves all the space it needs. It deals with our neighbors just across the channel, a short distance away but light years apart when it comes to cycling. Which in itself is odd enough. A week ago I was approached by Matthew Wright, contributor for the Guardian Bike Blog:
Dear Marc, Hello, I am a journalist from London. I have enjoyed your site and have enjoyed cycling in the Netherlands many times. I am writing an article for the cycling column (The Bike Blog) in the British newspaper The Guardian about the differences in cycling culture between Britain and the Netherlands, and I would be very grateful for your brief thoughts about the topic. Most British cyclists think the Netherlands is heaven. I understand why. There's no doubt that, overall, the facilities in the Netherlands are much better. But I think cycling in the Netherlands is also much more tightly controlled in a way British cyclists would find difficult to accept. I am going to suggest that if British cyclists want cycling to be taken seriously in the way it is in the Netherlands, they will have to accept more rules controlling their cycling. While cycling in The Netherlands, I have been stopped by police twice, for not using the cycle path. This would never happen in Britain. Police very rarely stop cyclists even when they ride through red traffic lights or on the pavement. Rules about taking bikes on trains are also much stricter in the Netherlands: you have to buy a ticket, and can only take the bike at certain times. In Britain it is free to take a bike on the train, and though there are rules, no one takes any notice of them. As long as the bike will fit, you can usually take it. I would be very grateful if you could send me a sentence or two of your opinion about the differences between attitudes to cycling in Britain and the Netherlands. These are the kinds of questions I will be asking in my article: if you have any other thoughts on the topic, please add them: - Are there more rules for cyclists in the Netherlands? - Do you think Dutch Police enforce the traffic law more strictly than British Police? - Are Dutch cyclists more responsible than British cyclists? - Do you think we can create a Dutch cycling culture in Britain without accepting more regulation and law enforcement? If I can quote it in my article, I will give a link to your blog in my article. The Guardian website is the second most popular in UK, and many thousands of people read the Bike Blog. Thank you very much Matthew Wright
Of course I was thrilled to do so, but quickly concluded I couldn't possibly sum this up in two sentences, so I decided to send him a couple more, then for him to decide on and pick from, hoping for the best:
The biggest difference between cycling in the UK and the Netherlands is that the Dutch take everyday cycling seriously and are provided the means to do so, for any type of user, often more so than for car drivers. An average Dutch person would not understand the fear of 'losing the right to the road' when the bike infrastructure is so much better, more convenient, comfortable, more direct and safer than riding in car traffic. Segregation is just one (important) part of bicycle policies in the Netherlands, complemented with integral spatial planning, traffic-calming, bike facilities & effective traffic laws that protect people on bikes (and foot). Cycling in the UK is still largely unsafe, as (also) its (recent) bike infrastructure is well below-par, inconsistent and hardly inviting to the general public. Thus, when you sell bad infrastructure to the public that even 'avid cyclists' wouldn't want to use, you've generated a negative sentiment that's hard to spin your way out of, no matter the millions of pounds you spend on marketing that message. You can't 'encourage' anyone to cycle when you give them a knife to a gun fight. It's that simple. The Dutch in the 70's were where the UK is now, the similarities are striking. It's safe to say that the UK can still turn things around, if people think it's worth fighting for, building public and political support. With so many cyclists dying on the streets, you'd think it would be. The Dutch did and turned things around, massively. It can be done.
Matthew, I underlined 'Dutch take everyday cycling seriously'. Could you link this to www.dutchcycling.nl, which has the Dutch Cycling Embassy promo video that I produced? Also, 'the similarities are striking' would link to this post on David Hembrow's blog, putting the above in further historical context, re: NL-UK-US.
He answered:
Your comments, and the links, are great. I will certainly link to you. Just what I need to give the Dutch point of view. We have a long fight on our hands here!
Great, it looked like the Dutch approach would finally be taken seriously in British mainstream media. This morning he posted his article: 'There's more to 'going Dutch' than having a separate cycling lane - It has taken the Netherlands 25 years to build up its culture of respect among its road users, and the law plays a big part too' I read it twice to make sure I read it right. So I decided to send Matthew a followup e-mail. From here on I'll be sharing virtually the exact exchanges we had. I do so, because I feel they are representative of the article, they were professional and we stuck to the subject at hand. I'll let you decide whether these exchanges bring more clarity to the Bike Blog post. My response:
Hi Matthew, I've just read your piece, I like it, the premise and overall line is very good, but there's one part, which I think is *very* important for your readers to understand the narrative around 'Dutch bike infrastructure', where things (Dutch perspective) get blown out of context: 1) "The safety of having separate lanes has often been questioned. Though there are many variables, and conclusions are contested, most studies suggest that separate paths, if anything, make cycling more dangerous, because junctions – where most accidents occur – are more complicated. 2) "In Germany, the law governing urban cycle path creation was recently changed. The ADFC (CTC equivalent) said: "Behind this change is a recognition, through research into road accidents, that physically separate cycle paths make the chance of an accident higher for cyclists than following the road." Re: 1) "The safety of having separate lanes has often been questioned." > You need to make clear by whom. Questioning safety is good, but what are we talking about? 'Having separated lanes' in UK (as it stands now) is much different, obviously. Also, what *kind*? British? Dutch? Certainly not Dutch design. Any study on Dutch road design for bikes will show you that safety for people on bikes is very much enhanced. Overall: NL has the highest cycle rate in the world, yet the lowest casualty rate. There's a reason for that. Thus, the suggestion that separated paths are more dangerous because of junctions has nothing to do with the Dutch situation. Junctions in the Netherlands have proper bike-integral design, dedicated & prioritized, and are perfectly safe. (as you must have experienced it yourself...) This paragraph doesn't make it clear to the reader at all that there's a distinction between the current state of junction design in the UK and NL. That part being at least very blurry, you then link to Cyclecraft. That's all fine but there lies part of the problem. John Franklin (who has built a vehicular cycling survival technique, but has been selling it as a cycling strategy for decades) has been anti-Dutch (paths) for decades (his influence on CTC policies has been enormous). So by using that Cyclecraft reference to back up your argument (which is very generally worded) you give that (flawed) piece of information the authority it doesn't deserve, at all. Plus: can you tell me what 'most studies' are? Re: 2) So from the first paragraph you jump to Germany to support your earlier claim. The German situation is better than the UK, but far worse than in the NL. I know that story well. The ADFC have basically given up on building proper(!) bike infrastructure and lacked the imagination to move forward. Germany's bike infra is of much lower quality and often lacking: not convenient, many conflicts with other modes & inconsistent in its connectivity. In short: junction design for bikes in Germany is a little better than UK, but doesn't come near any situation in the Netherlands. Bad design usually does make things more dangerous. But in those two paragraphs, you've connected Dutch bike infrastructure with the notion that separate infrastructure is dangerous, using examples that have nothing to do with Dutch road design. One is a very shaky piece from John Franklin, who hasn't even set foot on one single path in NL, the other example is from a different country where its cycling federation has given up trying and uses a flawed design's implications as argument against separated infrastructure. I hope you take this to heart and consider some changes to your article.
Thank you for responding so quickly. I was about to send you the link, but you got to me first! I would love to go into all of these things in more detail, but i have 800 words in which to present a complex topic: there will always be more to say. I have given many links to other sites, presenting a range of views, which readers can follow up for themselves. I think it's a good think British cyclists appreciate the range of Dutch strategies (traffic law, speed limits etc), and don't just assume lanes on their own are the answer. You may be right about the ADFC's lack of imagination, but they did tell me, last week, that they believe the evidence does not support separate paths. They haven't told me which studies, but they are a reputable organisation, and I'm sure they have some. I think that's important evidence for the readers to have. I also think the geography of the UK calls for a slightly different solution. London is a lot bigger than even Rotterdam, and the main roads are very unpleasant, even if there is a cycle lane. But there is loads of space through residential areas to cycle, in a way there perhaps isn't in smaller cities. So the approach needs to be different. I think the LCC campaign has focused on a very narrow range of the Dutch approach, and I am only trying to give a broader perspective. Personally, I believe the main reasons it's safer to cycle in NL is that most drivers cycle, and are more careful, knowing that the presumption of the law will be against them in an accident. The speed limit is also lower in most urban areas. Please log into the Guardian site and post these comments under the article. They won't change the article now.
I understand the constraints, but I think my points about the 2 paragraphs have a lot of merit. When you reference information that should in essence back up your claim/assumption, it at least needs to be solid. What needs to prevail is the context. You have to agree that an average reader will not make out the much needed distinction that *should* have been pointed out; 'Dutch separated bike infrastructure' is MUCH different and of very much higher quality than anything in Germany or UK. If we want to present the British public with means to debate & understand the implications, this should be emphasized. The issue of dangerous junctions is very important in London and elsewhere, but the framing of those 2 paragraphs doesn't really help the conversation, it only perpetuates the misunderstanding about sufficient bike infrastructure & pushes towards this notion that you should *by definition* question them...while Dutch bike infrastructure is a proven concept! I hope you understand this. "I think that's important evidence for the readers to have." As I said: if you have insufficient bike infrastructure & you do research on them without recognizing available successful design in terms of safety, then of course you're likely to come up with conclusions along those lines, it's more a confirmation of the status quo than a real comparative study. I've been following ADFC for quite some time and I can provide you with information that backs up my assertions. (When I'd call the reputable CTC and ask them something similar, they'd also say 'we believe the evidence shows our Hierarchy of Provision is solid.) Geography is an often used argument, even to the point that CTC members told me that London is special because it's much denser and has narrower streets (the 'no space for bike paths' argument) than the center Amsterdam or in the heart of other Dutch towns. First, density has no direct correlation with cycle rates. Second, if there's any country with dense cities/towns & narrow streets (while facilitating many modes of transport), it's the Netherlands. It's not about lack of space, it's about lack of will to set priorities for that space. Let's also be clear that there's a big difference between a cycle 'lane' (on-road) and a cycle 'path'. I've also criticized LCC for muddying the water on the Dutch approach, and they contacted me to ask to host them on their study tour in NL last week, but for some reason they (Mike) had a problem calling me. Think of this, Matthew: why do you think it's not cars vs bikes in NL? There are just people. Many people have cars (same as in UK) and the very same people also have bikes. Many of them also use public transportation. Hence, what turned things around from the 70's (a time where we'd gotten to the point that virtually all road space was allocated to cars and space (that was left from before/after WW2) was taken away from people on bikes), was the notion that you need to curtail the use of cars (through carrot-and-stick policies) and make others modes pleasant, convenient, comfortable and safe 'alternatives'. So you'll have people who commute to work by car, but pop into town for shopping on their bikes. You'll have people who commute to work or school (or shops etc) by bike, but use their car only for longer distances or in case of moving certain cargo etc. You'll have people who commute to work or school by train, but they get to the train station by bike (very popular, you may have heard of the ever present lack of bike parking & the consequent continually renewed investments in efficient bike parking at train stations). I could go on. The point: we would not be having this conversation had it not been for putting in and building all this infrastructure, these wide-ranging policies, facilities, legislation, education, etc, aka leveling the playing field. We'd be where UK is now, tinkering around the edges and stopping short of demanding to be taken seriously. (The Blackfriars debacle is a good example of the disconnect between the people who are supposed to provide for safe road environment and the reality on the ground. With TfL's mindset, it's no wonder they're being sued for manslaughter.) In NL it's been made possible for everyone, anytime, any means. I understand where you're coming from, but you're putting the horse behind the carriage. The main reason why it's safer to cycle is because people are given the opportunity in a proper way by facilitating their presence on the streets and roads, giving them at least equal infrastructure or prioritizing them in case the road environment requires this. Regarding Strict Liability: in the Netherlands that went into effect *after* mass cycling was established, as an extra layer on top, *because* cycling had become such an integral part of the transportation system. I'm not saying you shouldn't want it now, but on the whole it won't work independently of the aspects I mentioned above. I will certainly add some of the things I mentioned in the comment section.
I'm not sure our points of view are so different, really. I'd love London to have the facilities of NL, but it doesn't, and if we want to make it safer and more efficient, as quickly as possible, then we need to design ways that can happen as soon as possible. With some intelligent closure of streets, use of parks etc, and effective sign-posting, it would be possible to get anywhere in London without riding on busy roads. It just requires some joined-up thinking. In smaller towns, where the only road is the main road, then a separate lane is necessary, but in London, it isn't. Many smaller towns I've cycle through in NL don't have separate lanes, just quiet streets, along the lines of the Woonerf, a great Dutch idea. Much of residential London could be like that, with a bit of careful planning. I believe it would be faster and more effective than waiting for a full network of separate lanes in London. I asked the Dutch Cycling Embassy specifically whether cycle lanes are in themselves safer, and they just told me they create the 'perception' of safety. That's great as a way of encouraging new cyclists, but not very sensible as basis for a whole policy across a huge city. How can you be so sure that it is specifically the lanes which makes NL safe to cycle in, and not the speed limit & strict enforcement of it, liability, driver awareness, etc? My point about geography is that there is more space in the backstreets, parks etc of London than in smaller cities like Amsterdam. You really can get anywhere in London without using a main road, but at the moment it takes more time and care to plan than people have to put in. If it was properly signed, I believe it would work very well. I completely agree that the playing field needs to be levelled, but I think building separate lanes is only a part of the solution, and in London, quite a small part.
Let's agree to disagree. Nobody expects London or UK to be able to implement Dutch-like infra overnight. It takes a good long-term plan, sticking to it and connecting the dots. London and the UK have been dealing with just awful design guides and urban planning and to say that because of a time-frame you're forced to continue to tinker around the edges, is basically a fallacy. What would you rather invest in: more of the same that really won't get you to higher cycling rates and thus waste these efforts and money or invest in something solid that will actually provide that? Short-term thinking or a vision for better? They are not 'just quiet streets'. You have streets (purposefully traffic-calmed for cars) and roads where cars are restrained. This is designed that way. Rerouting through traffic and prioritizing people on bikes. Same is done in historic center of Amsterdam, where the streets along the canal are a hazard to drive through. People on bikes share the road with cars, but not the way you would see 'sharing the road'. Cars are basically guests and people on bikes are prioritized. At the same time, that car traffic is stuck with one-way streets, rerouted, with routes far less direct than where bikes can go. Despite the historic character of these streets, that was done by design, because this was not the case up until the late 70's. The Woonerf concept is often mistaken for something else in the UK. Woonerf is not about calming main traffic, but calming residential neighborhoods by making streets smaller/tighter, making through-traffic impossible (dead-ends) and slowing cars (that have a reason to be there) down to a walking pace. I'm very closely associated with the Dutch Cycling Embassy and I know their stance on these things and I'm 100% sure they didn't mean that it enhances JUST the perception of safety. Either something got lost in translation or you picked up on just that, because Dutch bike paths and lanes have proven to improve both subjective AND objective (real) safety. I know all the people at DCE so I can verify if you'd like. That and specific spatial planning, traffic-calming, liability, prioritizing of bikes in general etc, makes the whole package. I hear ya now, currently you'd do better avoiding the main roads, but like car drivers, others want to go the desired short routes (read: all want that 'convenience') as well. Putting so much focus on just separate lanes trying to come up with solutions for London, makes it actually all sound like a cherry-picked argument against the Dutch approach.
If I'd had 2000 words instead of 800, I'd have said more about Woonerf. With some political will, that system could be implemented in most of residential London within a year. It would make a huge difference for kids cycling to school, people going to local shops etc. It's not a short-term plan, it's just more practical for the majority of London, which consists of quiet, residential streets where, with a 30kph speed limit, there would be no need of a separate lane. It's LCC which turned the Dutch approach into a slogan about cycle lanes. I am trying to show that it's much more broadly based and needs to change attitudes, traffic law, signage, planning etc etc. I'm not against the Dutch approach at all, but it needs to be adapted to the environment of London, and considered in its totality, which is what - in a short space - I have tried to do. The first email I had from Tom [***] talked about the 'perception' of safety, so I asked him specifically about the safety of the lanes, and he didn't reply. I'd happily have included a thorough study confirming objective safety benefits of paths but no one was able to provide one.
I'm sorry, but you misunderstand the Woonerf concept, it is really not that broad that it enables kids to cycling to school or going to the shops, it's *purely* a concise residential measure, not for through traffic implementation. Like I said: woonerf entails walking-speed for car drivers (who have a purpose for being there, not to get someplace else) I'm of the opinion that when you want to lay that out in the article, you can't, on one side, cherry-pick half-checked/corroborated information from other countries/cities that lack the quality of the Dutch approach, not mention that distinction, spreading doubt about the safety of this infrastructure and THEN make it out like you're talking about the same thing, when you're clearly not. And to point out that 'it needs to be adapted to the environment of London and consider in its totality' is a bit rich, as you don't apply that reasoning in the former, making it sound like London or the UK is somehow 'exceptional'. The fact that Tom didn't reply to that specific question doesn't mean that the Dutch Cycling Embassy is of the opinion that bike paths *only* have a placebo function/effect. You really don't get to Dutch cycling rates with infrastructure that only *looks* safe. That's why these rates are still growing and the casualty rates are still falling. I have some basic information for you to generally back up the claim that bike paths are objectively safe: NL: - highest cycle rates in the world - lowest casualty rates in the world - nr of children killed on Dutch streets in 1973: almost 400 - nr of children killed on Dutch streets in 2010: 14 I still hope you'll reconsider making some changes. Best, Marc
I think the article is well-meant, but muddied and very flawed in its execution, both from a technically journalistic viewpoint and with regards to what's what in 'Going Dutch'. What does it really want to say? Go Dutch & you'll have to worry about losing your right to the road? Go Dutch, but you can't be sure it will work? Go Dutch, and you'll feel the burden of more responsibilities? Go Dutch, but it will take forever and London is a special case? Go Dutch, but the LCC doesn't *really* want it? Etc. I had high expectations and it didn't turn out the way I had hoped. A feeling often shared by my British followers, I imagine. Update: the LCC has responded to the article as well. Let me know what you think in the comment section, cheers. Before or after that, read Jim's take on it and watch this video he made, 'Compare And Contrast':

AG054: Fight for the Meteorite
this wiki
Fight for the Meteorite (Japanese: マグマ団VSアクア団、再び!えんとつ山の戦い!! Team Magma VS Team Aqua Again! Mt. Chimney Battle!) is the 14th episode of Pokémon: Advanced Challenge.
Episode Plot
The gang is running to go to the station to go to Mt. Chimney, then to Lavardige Town. Ash is excited, but his friends are tired. Team Rocket (disguised) runs towards the cable cart, to get in as well. A man is looking for a rock, presuming to be a researcher. The gang is astonished by the view, but Team Rocket has their own plans...
Jessie will act as a tour guide for Mt. Chimney. Max replies they did not hire guides, but Meowth (dressed as a lady) replies this day they are doing for free. A plane passed by the cable cart, so Jessie continues to explain the area. The researcher spotted something on his machine - a meteor. Behind him, however, the plan that passed by lands. The men go out - by the color of the clothes, they are Team Magma. The leader demands the meteor, but the researcher refuses to.
Jessie explains the area, but another plane heads towards the mountain. The leader of Team Magma intimidates the researcher, but the grey plane has arrived - they are Team Aqua. A part comes to the control room - Crawdaunt is sent and uses Bubble Beam to attack the guards. The man turns off the switch, so the cart where Team Rocket and the gang are stopped. Brock asks the tour guides if they have a cell phone, but they deny. However, Brock sees a phone in the cart and calls the control room, but nobody answers.
The gang realizes they are trapped, but Jessie yells on the phone, banging and destroying it. The gang suspects something odd about them, so Team Rocket undisguised themselves. Team Aqua arrived to get the meteorite, but Team Magma send their Pokémon, but so does Team Aqua. The researcher escapes, so both teams deploy their troops to go after the researcher. Team Rocket finishes their motto, but are not amused when the gang did not listen - they plan to get out of the cart.
Brock tells them if they were to fight, the cart would be blown away. Ash finds rope, so Ash ties the rope to the end of the cart and the cart tower. Meowth is impressed by the courage, but Jessie isn't - she jumps on the rope, but soon finds herself needing to be rescued. James and Meowth jump to rescue, but they also need to be rescued. The rope breaks, so Ash needs to find help for Team Rocket and his friends.
Crawdaunt attacks Mightyena with Bubble Beam, so Mightyena attacks them. Golbat use Air Cutter, defeating the Team Aqua, so they retreat. Team Magma prepare a rocket for a launch. Ash goes upwards the hill, but the researcher knocks him out when he runs. They hide and Ash identifies the men to be Team Magma. May wonders if anyone has food, so Brock offers sandwiches to eat. Team Rocket appears to be hungry, so the gang offers them food as well.
The researcher introduces himself to Ash - his name is Cosmo. He researches meteorites - rocks from outer space. Ash wonders why the stone is heavy, so Cosmo begins to tell that there are many things they do not know. The meteors that go towards the planet burn, become smaller - meteorites. A Golbat takes the meteorite, giving it to Team Magma and they go away. The leader hears that the squad is sending the meteorite, so the cannon is prepared. Inside the cart, the gang hears the wind and the cart is being shaking.
Team Magma set the meteorite and activate the laser cannon, aiming at the volcano's lava. Ash and Cosmo split up to take the meteorite. Cosmo appears before them and throws a rock, so a part is detached to get him. Ash goes to open the cannon, but can't, so Pikachu uses Thunderbolt to open the chamber. The machine is overloaded and the leader sees Ash banging the cannon with the meteorite. The rest of the squad try to get the stone, but are electrocuted by Pikachu. The leader goes after the meteorite, but is tackled by Cosmo.
Cosmo pushes the cannon (with the meteorite inside) into the lava. The leader orders the men to retreat, since there is nothing else to do. Cosmo is troubled by the sacrifice. Team Aqua move out as well, but the leader is pleased knowing they foiled Team Magma's plans. Team Magma is also pleased when they foiled Team Aqua's plans. The rest of the gang is out of the cart, with Team Rocket going after Pikachu, but when Jessie's Wobbuffet has gone from Poké Ball, they fall down. Cosmo gives the gang directions to Lavaridge Town and wishes good luck to Ash in his Gym battle.
- "Guess we have to share, even if it is you." - Max to Team Rocket
- "What are you doing!? Don't you have bad guy pride at all?" - Meowth
- "No, not a shred." - Jessie and James
- "Matter of fact, neither do I." - Meowth
Featured Pokémon: Medicham, Meditite, Magnemite, Machop.

GAITHERSBURG, MARYLAND (WUSA)--Police have a warning about fake IDs that young people nationwide are purchasing from a very popular website.
9 Wants You to Know that buyers under 21 may be getting a lot more out of the transaction than an identification card.
If you're in high school or college, there's a pretty good chance you've heard of ID Chief. But if you're a parent, you probably have no clue. Teens say it's an easy way to get a fake i.d., not realizing their real identities are being stolen in the process.
Ironically, the website reads, "We are located in a safe country. Your info is safe with us."
That's part of the sales pitch behind IDChief.ph, the wildly popular China-based website that appears to be doing a booming business.
The IDs feature holograms, encrypted personal information and a level of sophistication so high that they're able to pass through scanners used by bars and liquor stores to prevent minors from buying booze.
"The person's name, his date of birth, that information is being encrypted right on the strip so when you scan the driver's license, it will come up with valid information on the front. Where in the old days, they didn't have the ability to do that," said Montgomery County Police Officer Bill Morrison.
Unsuspecting teenagers may be buying more than access to alcohol. They're being targeted for identity theft.
"ID Chief is selling their information. And kids are now finding out that they have thousands of, hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of debt," said Officer Morrison.
And, according to law enforcement, the Chinese scam artists are heading to students' Facebook pages to cull additional information to further their scheme.
Remarkably, the site even warns buyers to beware of fake id scams. It reads, "'It's not like you can file a police report for your bad fake id."
With the help of Montgomery County Police and Sarah, a police intern, 9 News Now ordered a fraudulent Pennsylvania driver's license. We uploaded her signature and photograph and as required, wired 200 dollars via Western Union.
Our fake ids arrived, after making the 8,000 mile journey from Gwangzhou, China to Gaithersburg, Maryland.
They came packaged in an envelope marked bracelet. Inside was a gift box and an actual red bracelet. But underneath the padding, wrapped in plain white paper, were a pair of fake ids.
"This is as authentic as it can possibly be," said Montgomery County Police Sgt. Mark White.
They even passed the black light test-often used by police to detect fake ids in dark places, like bars or nightclubs.
"I wouldn't consider this fake at all. I wouldn't think twice about this id," said Sgt. White.
Police warn that anyone who's underage and using a fake ID faces a penalty especially harsh by teenager's standards. They could lose their driver's license for up to a year and it may impact the cost of your car insurance.

Hi forum,
I'll explain my situation:
I have a Qmail server with the domain abc.com, and, I installed the new server Zimbra with same domain (abc.com).
I migrated some users to my zimbra server.
When I send an email to my domain, that email is delivery in my Qmail server and my Qmail make a copy and redirect to my zimbra. This work fine.
I'd like that when someone send an email to my domina (abc.com) using zimbra, the email be delivered in my qmail server (not local, only zimbra).
What I need to do? Is this possible?

Woah. I got M2 installed. It is simply amazing. I have just discovered the RSS feeds as folders. I am very impressed... :eek:
Anyway, I have 2 bug reports for ya'll
1) If the RSS feed has more that 25 items, then it will display the first 25, and then you have to page over; however, when you page over, it says, "No such folder exists." Increasing the total items displayed fixes this.
2) If the poll time is set (in the COS) to under 2 minutes, the users cannot change their preferences. They get an error that says "Poll time must be at least 2 min."; however, the user cannot change their poll time.

Bill Mattingly was named men's and women's golf coach at Butler University in 2007. Since coming to Butler in 2007, Mattingly has helped the Butler golf programs win 27 tournaments, including four conference tournament titles. The women's golf program has won 20 events and has made three trips to the NCAA regional.
In 2012-13, Mattingly guided Butler's women's squad to a championship in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC), the Bulldogs' first year in the conference. Butler earned a third consecutive trip to the NCAA Regional.
The 2011-12 year, Butler's last as a member of the Horizon League, was one of BU's finest campaigns. The women's golf team won five tournaments, including three in a row at during one stretch. The Butler women then advanced to the NCAA Regional for the second time in school history. BU's men's squad won two events and finished second in another.
In 2010-11, Mattingly guided Butler's women's golf team to its first Horizon League championship and its first appearance in the NCAA Division I Women's Golf Championship. He was named Horizon League Women's Golf Coach of the Year.
Former Bulldog Michele Nash was twice named league player of the year and four times Mattingly has coached Butler's Most Outstanding Female Athlete.
Mattingly's student-athletes also thrive in the classroom. Twelve Bulldogs have earned Golf Coaches Association of America All-Scholar recognition. The Butler men's golf squad had the department's highest team GPA in both semesters of the 2009-10 school year.
Mattingly, a life member of the Indiana Professional Golfers Association, coached at local high school powerhouse Cathedral for 18 years. He guided Cathedral teams to 32 invitational titles and six state championship appearances. He was named Ball State Alumni Coach of the Year for both boys and girls golf in 2006.
Mattingly, a varsity golf letterwinner at Ball State (1971-72), has been actively involved in golf in the Indianapolis area for more than three decades. He served as head professional at Thatcher Golf Course in Indianapolis from 1981 to 1984 and at South Grove Golf Course from 1985 to 1992. He was owner of Supreme Golf and Driving Range in Carmel from 1993 to 2003.
An accomplished player, the new Butler head coach won the Indiana Assistant's Championship in 1979, and he was Indiana PGA Champion in 1983. He's an eight-time qualifier for the National Club Professional Championship.
Mattingly earned a B. S. degree in marketing from Ball State in 1976. He and his wife, Maureen Sullivan, have four sons, William, Daniel, Charles and Peter.
