The Hot Press Newsdesk, 09 Jul 2010
Fresh from their riotous turn at the Hot Press Yearbook launch, Fight Like Apes have confirmed the August 20 release of their new download single, 'Hoo Ha Henry'.
Produced by Gang Of Four legend Andy Gill, it's the first taster from their second – the band insist that we don't use the word 'sophomore' – album, which follows in September on Model Citizen Records.
They're also in live action on September 5 at the Electric Picnic.

Armed with a sense of humour and a willingness to take the kind of risks other bands shy away from – check our cover shoot if evidence is needed – Fight Like Apes are among the few Irish bands who seem to go looking for trouble. In addition to wrestling with their fans, dissing their mates and merrily using the word 'cunt' in a song, the title of their new album alone might just land them in jail.

Hailing from Dublin and weighing in at over six hundred pounds, the Fight Like Apes experience is a chaotic clash of electronics and rock, topped off with a frontwoman who can soothe and confront in equal measures. As debuts go, 'How Am I...' is a serious achievement, a kaleidoscope of different ideas that somehow manages to hang together and forge its own identity. Most impressive of all, amongst the madness lie three genuinely great songs that – the odd swear word aside – could grace daytime radio with no bother. They're pretty much everywhere over the coming months, not to see them at least once would be a crime.

Yeah, the best ones are going to cost you.
I like See Jane Run: http://www.seejanerun.com/c-10-dd_cup_and_up.aspx
I've been wearing the Moving Comfort Maia for a couple of years now. It doesn't exactly come in my size (I'm a 34G, definitely a specialty size!), but I'm OK with a little extra compression from squeezing my Gs into a 36DD.
If you're a bigger size or want to go with a specific size, try HerRoom.com: http://www.herroom.com/search.aspx
I like them for all styles of bras, and they've got an amazing range of sizes.
I feel your pain! I have only been running a year and it took me a while to find a good bra. I went from a 34DDD to a 34DD and found that "The Last Resort" sports bra found on www.titlenine.com is really awesome. I feel very little to no bounce when I run. It fits really snug so it takes some getting used to, but I think it's worth every dollar. I hope this helps!
I'm a Champion fan too. I wear a 40 DD, and when I first started running I used a regular cotton underwire bra under a regular strech sports bra. It could be very uncomfortable. I found the Champions at Kohls for buy one get one half off. They run around 40$ I believe. Highly recommend!
We have been testing tons of sports bras just for bigger ladies and hard to fit sizes! Http://blog.biggerbras.com
I'm looking for the perfect one now and our customers have really recommended the Elomi Energize for comfort and low impact activities as well as sleeping and the Enell sports bras for medium to high intensity. I hear the Shock Absorber Level D max is best for running and high intensity workouts but it's compression based, so keep that in mind. These all run in the sizes you'd need. I hope you find your perfect sports bra! KC
Juno by Moving Comfort - worth whatever you have to pay for it. I used to be very heavy with 46DDD - as I lost weight (97# to date - woo hoo!) and was running and biking, I found that the Champion bras just didn't have the support I needed for runs. I have a couple of their underwire ones for biking though, because I like not having a uniboob. The Juno does have moderate uniboobage, but it's not hideous. The velcro straps are very secure and extremely comfortable. I don't get slippage or ride up, other than a little from just moving so much. The bounce is well controlled without feeling like I'm gonna die, although when I first put it on, I was sure it was too tight. Wear it running a few times and you won't think so though!
Measure yourself CAREFULLY and get the right size. In "normal" bras, I'm in a 40DD, and in the Juno I wear a 40DD or a 38DD, depending on how I feel that day. I did a 10mile race a few weeks ago and got a little chafing where I didn't have RideGlide on the straps, but nothing really painful. More like a "huh, look at that." There's also enough coverage in the cups to carry a gel without it rubbing your skin raw. I wash them in the machine - gentle cycle with my other running/biking clothes and use sports wash, not regular detergent, and I hang them to dry. Pretty colors too!!
Also, if you're looking for good sportswear for larger sizes, look at AeroTech Designs. I bought my triathlon clothes, running, and biking shorts there before I could start shopping in the normal retail places. In my opinion, still the best place for biking shorts online. Made in America too!!
Good luck and run happy!
Hi There!
I have the very same issue!! I've worn two bras; a bra and a compression tank--you name it--but no solution was truly that comfortable. In preparation for my first 5k last weekend, I finally broke down and went to a shop with professional bra fitters. I promise you, it is DEFINITELY worth the extra expense. Not only did I find out how off the mark I'd been in choosing a bra size for myself (I was basically buy bras that were much too large in the band and with the largest cup size I could find--in most stores that was either a 40 DD or DDD. Turns out I'm a 34 GGG! EEEK!!! In any case, I wound up leaving there with 2 different styles of sports bra, both made by FREYA. They are FABULOUS!!! I've always worn bras with underwire so I was hugely surprised that a bra WITHOUT underwire could work so well for someone with breasts my size! This style has 360 degree support in the cups so the girls are lifted, separated and held firmly in place. I also liked the Freya with the underwire and got 2 of those as well. I've worn all three and love all of them. I actually ran the 5k in the non-underwire version and it worked perfectly!! No bouncing, no jiggling, but I also didn't feel constricted. I've been gradually building up in my running for almost 2 years now and along with proper running shoes, these bras are hands down the best investment I've made! I believe they've made an actual difference in my performance, because I'm SO much more comfortable. Couldn't recommend a proper bra fitting more, and I also couldn't recommend these Freya bras any more highly. Hope this helps!! And congrats to all of us for getting out there and moving!!
I have really fallen in love with the Walmart Danskin Now front-clasp racer-back sports bra. I normally would wear a 40DD but get a 38D in my sports bras; I find that going one size down also helps add much needed support. I am thrilled with the support and price but the best thing about it is that you don't feel like you're in a straight-jacket when you try to take it off. Because it has a front clasp, it couldn't be any more user-friendly!
Extreme Control Sports Bra by Anita Active®--
Athleta sells it, $67.00 and worth it!!! I bought 2- one in white, one in black
I feel your pain....I have found Enell a good bra for me. I have lovingly nicknamed it "the Iron Maiden"
Not much to look at but it works. It's durable and that's good because it's pricey.
Moving Comfort has some pretty good ones but I still bounce.
I wear about a 36DDD or 36 DD depending on the brand.
In Enell the sizes are not like that but a single number. I think I have a size 1 or 2.
Good luck
I am a HUUUUUGE fan of the Juno bra by Moving Comfort. It's probably about $50 if you buy it direct from Moving Comfort (which I think is pretty expensive) but it's ABSOLUTELY worth every penny. And MC has such excellent customer service. I'll never wear another sports bra. (I was a 36DD when I started running, BTW.)
As many of the prior comments have mentioned - Moving Comfort is an EXCELLENT sports bra. That is ALL i use now...I work out 4-6 days a week and wear them everyday for running, bootcamp, all cardio really. I recommend hand wash or gentle cycle machine and air dry, and you should replace your sports bra every year. It's well worth the $50-$60 dollar investment for the girls to be secure and comfortable! I shop at Title Nine - either in store or online.
Good luck!
I bought two from Bareneessities.com and both are great. One is by Freya Active and the other is Enell. Well worth the money for full figured runner who is not nesecarily overweight. I'm not over weight, but full figured.
I like my Freya also.

Manatee Sheriff: Man dies after fight with girlfriend's husband
Published: Sunday, July 13, 2014 at 7:32 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, July 13, 2014 at 7:32 a.m.
MANATEE COUNTY - Sheriff's investigators say a 61-year-old Bradenton man died after getting into an argument with and being hit by his girlfriend's estranged husband.
Deputies have not released the identity of the dead man pending notification of next of kin.
Shortly after 2 a.m. Saturday, the girlfriend's husband reportedly saw her car at the boyfriend's home in Royal Garden Estates, 6900 block of Cortez Road in Bradenton. He reportedly got into an argument with the boyfriend outside and punched him. Both men fell to the ground and continued to fight, deputies say.
The 61-year-old collapsed when deputies spoke to him. Paramedics took him to a hospital, where he died. The man reportedly had "medical issues," deputies stated.
Deputies arrested the husband for violation of a domestic violence injunction.
The case remains under investigation.

TD Bank in Mills River to close
Published: Tuesday, September 17, 2013 at 2:10 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, September 17, 2013 at 2:10 p.m.
The TD Bank will consolidate the Mills River branch at 4494 Boylston Highway with the Fletcher branch at 3811 Hendersonville Road, a bank official said. The store will close Nov. 15, and impacted customers and employees have been notified.
"This was a difficult decision and was not taken lightly," said Martha Gaston, media relations manager for TD Bank. "We evaluate a number of factors when deciding to consolidate a location and make decisions that will allow us to best meet the needs of our current and future customers."
Five employees work at the Mills River branch and will have the opportunity to be considered for other positions throughout the bank and for jobs currently available in the area, Gaston said in an email to the Times-News.
"Impacted employees also will be considered for any future openings that become available between now and the store's closing," she said.
The TD Bank in Mills River opened in 2011.
"Customers will continue to do their banking just as they do today but at a different location with features that provide a more consistent customer experience," Gaston said. "All customers can also access TD Bank's enhanced online, mobile and ATM channels for simple and convenient banking options."

on 11/27/96 in seattle, jimi's "home town" and on his birthday phish brought a set that rivals the best of the year... i'm looking at you vegas and coral gables. there are no guests here, just pure phish.
the first set is somewhat standard, but it is "high-end standard," if you will. my friend is well-executed. yamar gives you that nice summer'ish feeling. chalk dust and the sloth are nice and rocking. the free>theme combination highlights the first set. finally, the boys pay their first tribute to jimi, dropping a very inspired axis bold as love to close things down.
now, this 2nd set is the definition of a no non-sense, from start to finish barn burner. down with disease was still pretty hit and miss in the jam department, but this is one of the early versions that helped cement it as a phish classic. they move some pretty melodic down with disease jamming before the boys find a nice funky groove to latch on to. trey sits back and plays some ripping rhythm guitar, and from here on, i feel like he is in complete "band of gypsies mode." finally they latch onto something a little heavier and take that on a ride, eventually falling into a spacier jam. gordon finally latches onto a bit of a groove that he likes and they build that take that into a very rocking territory. it starts to sound like they will shift into johny b. goode, but they move into a much more dissodant jam, resolving into another spacier jam with threy thowing in some machine gun'esque licks. this leads to another nod to hendrix. billy gibbons of zz top was hendrix's favorite guitars, or at least near the top, so the boys dropped down a rip-roaring guitar blazing take of jesus left chicago. trey really drives his solo about as high as you possibly could. great take of jesus left chicago. shifty gears a bit, the boys crank a great scent of a mule. the middle section is extended fairly nicely with some excellent exchanges between page and trey. then comes tweezer. unless i'm missing one, this is the first really "groove orientated" tweezers. trey has a few nifty fills going through the song portion, before they unleash the jam. fishman and gordon lock into a groove, and trey and page start some fairly out there playing. as trey starts to build to a climax, fishhman provides a nice funky fill, and all of a sudden the boys all fall into line. the snap right into a funky little jam. trey lets out a few wild shrill wails before dipping back into that funky groove with the rest of the boys. the work this groove for a minute and then trey comes in over the top, briefly, with the sweet emotion chorus. they leave sweet emotion and trey, with some very subtle moves, starts to steer the ship back into familiar territory. we trey has managed a devine swing back into the dwd ending. now, fishman kind of fucks up here. he really rushes things, throwing everything off, but hey, after an hour of intense jamming, it is hard to come down on him too hard. great move back into down with disease either way. well, they go into blow out the back section of this too. hey, why not?! they tack on the can't you hear me knocking ending taboot. then, in practice for their forthcoming singing of the anthem of the sonics/lakers game and possibly further hendrix tribute, they acceppella up the star spangled banner. hilarious counterpoint to hendrix's wah drenched wood stock banner, and of course, they have one more for jimi. fire closes out a very rowdy second set. of course, trey buries this one. a good tribute indeed. don't overlook this show because of vegas. this second set is my favorite set of the west coast run. now, all in all, i have to go with vegas as my favorite west/fall '96 show. the first set is soooo stacked and well, claypool! also, be sure to check out 11/30/96 sacramento. John McEun on banjo in the first set and pedal steel toward the end of the show and Peter Apfelbaum on tenor sax adds a very nice feel to this show. the taste with the intro jam is just mesmerizing. enjoy fellow phish people!!

Pages 11 - 15 of 191

|191 >>
1 MR JUSTICE GRAY: That is really why I have said what I have
2just said. I do appreciate, Mr Irving, you do not accept
3that it is an insignificant point because you say you are
4accused of breaking an agreement.
5 MR IRVING: Well...
6 MR JUSTICE GRAY: It does not sound as if Mr Rampton is really
7pursuing that at all.
8 MR RAMPTON: Yes, but without permission.
9 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Yes, but without permission does not mean
10breaking an agreement necessarily.
11 MR RAMPTON: That is a question of terminology really.
12 MR JUSTICE GRAY: I am in both your hands about that, but I
13personally do not think we should spend a lot of time.
14 MR RAMPTON: That is my present view, but I am not committing
15myself now. But I think your Lordship can reasonably
16expect that Moscow will not take up a lot of the court's
17time, as far as I am concerned.
18 MR IRVING: My Lord, if they were to put Moscow into section 5
19as well, I think that bucket is beginning to overflow.
20 MR JUSTICE GRAY: That is a very vivid way of putting it.
21 MR IRVING: We can put the whole of his Hizbollah and Farrakhan
22into section 5.
23 MR RAMPTON: That is not section 5. That is common sting which
24is different.
25 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Right, anyway, let us get on. That disposes
26of that. Yes, do please come back, Mr Irving.
1 < MR DAVID IRVING, recalled.
2< Cross-Examined by MR RAMPTON, QC, continued.
3 MR RAMPTON: My Lord, there are three new bundles. They are
4not new in any surprise sense. They are new in that we
5have composed them for ease of reference for this part of
6the case. There are two Auschwitz core bundles; the first
7consisting of what one might call material arising out of
8the Leuchter Report, and it has the Leuchter Report at the
9beginning of it. The second Auschwitz core bundles are
10the original drawings and documents.
11 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Yes.
12 MR RAMPTON: The third new file, again composed from other
13sources, are statements by Mr Irving about Leuchter and
14the Leuchter report. That has been extracted from a range
15of the D files, D1 and 2 and 3.
16 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Many of which we have been through?
17 MR RAMPTON: Yes, exactly, but not the specific reference and
18I am hoping to cut that short this morning, if I possibly
20 MR JUSTICE GRAY: I am sorry to be tedious about it, but can we
21perhaps give these bundles a slightly more convenient
22means of identification?
23 MR RAMPTON: We started off by calling them "K".
24 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Well, why not?
25 MR RAMPTON: All right. K1, 2 and 3 then.
26 MR JUSTICE GRAY: It is just going to make life simpler later
2 MR RAMPTON: Certainly, of course we will. The first fat one
3is K1, the second one which has not got as much material
4in it is K2, and the Claimant's statements are K3.
5 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Yes.
6 MR RAMPTON (To the witness): Mr Irving, could you turn open
7the first tab in the first of those files? That should be
8the Leuchter?
9 A. [Mr Irving] It is, yes.
10 Q. [Mr Rampton] I would rather you use the one in the file because it has
11the appendices. Before I do that, I want to do something
12else. May I? I am sorry about that, my Lord, I had
13forgotten what I intended to do.
14 MR JUSTICE GRAY: That is all right.
15 MR RAMPTON: It is Monday morning. Could you, Mr Irving, turn
16up in the third file, K3, tab 4? This is a transcript of
17the press conference that you gave, introducing the
18Leuchter in your published edition on 23rd June 1989.
19Could you turn to page 21, please? I will start, if
20I may, at the bottom of page 20. You are being asked
21questions, Mr Irving, and somebody says at the bottom of
22page 20: "So they fabricated this evidence?" You say:
23 "Oh, we fabricated a lot of evidence at Nuremberg. I am
24very familiar with the private diaries", etc., "of Robert
25H Jackson and the American Judge Biddle."
26 Page 21 at the top: "They fabricated the
1evidence?" asked the questioner?
2 A. [Mr Irving] "This evidence".
3 Q. [Mr Rampton] I am sorry, "this evidence". You are quite right,
4Mr Irving: "No, but I am familiar with how things like
5the figure of 6 million were arrived at because that is
6dealt with at great length in their private diaries."
7Then you say this: "Judge Biddle, however, sitting in
8judgment at Nuremberg, he looked at one Auschwitz survivor
9all day, a Frenchman -- I am sure you know her name, she
10gave a heartbreaking testimony about what she had survived
11 -- and in his diary at the end of that day Judge Biddle
12privately wrote: 'I don't believe a word of what she is
13saying. I think she is a bloody liar'."
14 Mr Irving, he did not say that in his diary?
15 A. [Mr Irving] You are right. He did not write those words.
16 Q. [Mr Rampton] No. Those are your words, are they not?
17 A. [Mr Irving] This is my gloss on it, yes.
18 Q. [Mr Rampton] And he did not say it, did he, about the whole of her
20 A. [Mr Irving] I think he did. He sat there listening to the testimony
21and after a time when he could stand it no longer, he
22wrote in brackets in the middle of her testimony words
23which gave precisely this meaning to me as the reader.
24You must remember I have read the entire notes of Biddle
25in the archives in the United States.
26 Q. [Mr Rampton] I am going to show you the notes of Judge Biddle and what
1you wrote about them on your little index cards in a
2moment. Can I just draw attention -- you do not need to
3get it out -- the woman in question was a lady called
4Marie-Claude Valliant-Courturier, was she not?
5 A. [Mr Irving] A French Communist yes.
6 Q. [Mr Rampton] A French Communist. As she said, a member of the
8 A. [Mr Irving] Well, exactly, a member of the Resistance and a French
10 Q. [Mr Rampton] Do you remember in your Nuremberg book -- if you would
11like to get it out, you shall -- you published a lot of
12pictures, quite a good selection of pictures really, after
13page 182?
14 A. [Mr Irving] Yes.
15 Q. [Mr Rampton] A caption to a picture of that lady, Madame
16Valliant-Couturier, reads as follows: "Credibility
17problems. As Madame Marie-Claude Valliant-Couturier below
18left testifies about her ordeal as a Communist interned at
19Auschwitz, Judge Francis Biddle notes that he does not
20believe her"?
21 A. [Mr Irving] Perhaps it would assist the court if you were to read out
22some of this lady's testimony to the Nuremberg court?
23 Q. [Mr Rampton] No, it would not in the very slightest, Mr Irving.
24 A. [Mr Irving] Well, it certainly would because you can see yourself how
25totally incredible her testimony was.

On the eve of celebrating the opening of its 200th restaurant, Smashburger unveils a new restaurant design targeted at the next generation of burger enthusiasts.
With interior details that convey a more modern and comfortable atmosphere, Smashburger continues to demonstrate why it is the leader in the "better burger segment" of the restaurant industry.
"We are not your typical burger chain," says David Prokupek, chairman and CEO of Smashburger. "We started this concept about five years ago with the intention of changing the way people thought about burgers. We wanted to offer food and an atmosphere that was modern, exciting, and much different from the quick-service burger restaurants that consumers now find tiring."
The new design features earthy materials mixed in with contemporary graphic designs. Some of the guiding principles leading the new design include making it simple, natural, and comfortable, but modern and relevant for all occasions.
"It's important that we strike the right tone in our design that makes us a place where young families with small kids can come and feel comfortable, yet also a place where couples can go on a date before heading to the movies and enjoy a craft beer and a burger pairing," says Tom Ryan, founder of Smashburger. "We have our pulse on how people want to dine. They are looking for a modern, contemporary dining experience. Our décor was designed with this in mind."
Some of the enhancements to the interior design include softer lighting, high-tech digital menuboards, exposed wood-plank ceiling rafters, stainless steel table trims, localized graphics and art, and a variety of new elements to improve the overall experience for the guests.
The Smashburger brand comes alive with storytelling in the graphics, from the etched glass that details the attributes of the burgers—fresh, juicy, delicious, and smashed to order—to the mosaic of photography, which spotlights local landmarks.
In Colorado, those include the Denver Skyline, the Rocky Mountains, Coors Field, and an image of a skier, all depicting different components of the Colorado lifestyle.
Highlighting each local market is consistent with the approach Smashburger carries through on its menu with localized recipes created to reflect the local taste profiles.
"It was important that the interior of our restaurants reflect the quality and variety of our great-tasting burgers," Ryan says. "Now there is great energy around both our food and our store's design."
The timing of introducing this new store design comes on the eve of Smashburger's 200th restaurant opening.
"We've reached an important milestone as a brand," Prokupek says. "As we look to the future to be just as successful as the last five years, it is critical that we continue differentiating ourselves a with a restaurant design that sets us apart in the same way that our food does.
"The enhanced look and feel of our restaurants now allows us to compete more directly with casual-dining options," he adds. "It opens Smashburger up to a wider audience of consumers, particularly in the dinner segment."

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KKCO) -- Most homeowners wouldn't consider having a home without insurance. Most drivers wouldn't consider driving without insurance. However, most renters aren't considering rental insurance.
According to a survey by InsuranceQuotes.com, only one in three renters has insurance.
"People say hey, that's not going to happen to me, I take care of my stuff… and that's where you really want to be cognizant of the fact, you could do everything right, but are your neighbors doing everything right?" said Jerry Martinez, agent with Jerry Martinez Insurance Agency.
Owner's insurance covers the building a renter is residing in, but doesn't cover any personal belongings of the renter.
Dena Watson, broker and owner of Freedom Property Management, said she had a tenant whose washing machine overflowed, causing water damage to their unit and two other units. The tenant had to pay $3,000 for cleanup and extracting water from all three units.
The survey indicated many respondents overestimated the cost of rental insurance. Sixty percent believed it cost at least $250 per year, and 21 percent believed it cost up to $1,000 per year. However, the average policy costs $185 per year, according to the National Association of Insurance Companies.
"Have that conversation, you'll be so surprised how much it will cost you if it'll cost you anything," said Martinez. "It's one of those things that's an added protection to your lifestyle and if something were to happen, why start all over?"
Martinez recommends coupling renter's insurance with auto insurance and said doing so can actually reduce your auto insurance amount.

Reality vs. Myth: The "dangers" of Dutch cycle paths
"Vehicular Cycling" is a survival technique where cyclists are a small minority without proper infrastructure. It's widely practised in the UK and USA. Indeed, when I lived in the UK, I also cycled according to such principles. In its own context, in a country with a minority cycling culture and no real government support to enhance infrastructure so that cycling can grow to its full potential, it makes sense.
However, if cycling is to become "normalized" - i.e. something that the majority of the population sees as a part of their life, which parents encourage their children to do, and spouses encourage their partners to do, then it needs something different. All three types of safety become important. Dutch cyclists are the safest in the world due to infrastructure which keeps them apart from what is the greatest danger to any road user: motor vehicles. They also feel the safest due to street designs which emphasize both social and subjective safety, and this leads to a very high degree of participation.
Dutch cyclists are not only the safest in the world, but also the Dutch cycle more than people of any other nation. Almost the whole population (93%) rides a bike at least once a week. Every type of person cycles. During weekdays, more than a million journeys are made by bike every hour. The infrastructure is the reason why.
Unfortunately, some cyclists from minority cycling countries still don't understand this, and some campaign aggressively against the very infrastructure which could help to bring a higher cycling rate due to improvements in subjective safety. This video from Mark Wagenbuur shows some of the commonly repeated mantras of the more aggressive anti-cyclepath "vehicular cyclists" and demonstrates how they are misleading and wrong, at least when applied to properly designed infrastructure as shown in the video, and as is the norm in the Netherlands.
Well designed cycle paths, and streets designed to prioritize cycling over driving, increase both the safety and speed of cyclists.
Some people may question whether cycle paths as in the Netherlands are necessary to achieve mass cycling. My answer to this is very simple: There are no counter-examples. Mass cycling has not been achieved anywhere in the modern world without cycle paths. The more money spent on cycling, the better the result. Luckily, even the best infrastructure in the world isn't actually that expensive, and cycling is something that any country can afford to do properly.

This is an issue we face on a regular basis here in Canada (Ontario at least).
I hear far to often from fellow cyclists that they would be dead against proper bike lanes.
Complaining about "slow cyclists" is a common occurrence by the lyrca crowd.
I'm surprised at how against some cyclists are. Whenever I blog on the subject, I receive emails and comments on how people would actually protest separate cycle paths, purely because they "are traffic" and shouldn't be separated.
This is probably a reason as to why Canada's youth obesity rates are rising so fast. It's far too dangerous for kids to ride on our on-street bike lanes (painted lines), and pedestrians complain when anyone of any age rides on the sidewalk, so kids simply don't bother cycling.
Fortunately with the addition of on-street bike lanes, we have seen an increase in adults cycling.
My city dropped the ball when they re-did all the roads. Instead of putting in separate cycle paths, they opted for 4-6 metre wide patches of grass.
Here is an example:

I'd like facilities like that. Instead, here in Toronto we've just elected a mayor and several councillors whose plan is to remove what bike lanes we have.

- Bicilenta said...
I absolutely agree with you. I live in a no cyclist infraestructure country and I'm eager to ride on cycle-paths. I've cycled in the Netherlands and I really envy you. Feel safe is a great deal. I really don't understand the "dissident" voices. It may be that they haven't try that kind of safety.
- 26 November 2010 at 07:51
This film is amazing. The frustrating thing for me is that roads here in Australia are easily that wide and could accommodate cycling infrastructure like that without a problem.
Thank you for posting it. It is a great advocacy resource.
- 26 November 2010 at 08:42
I think you misrepresent the people who don't like using cyclepaths. I'm from Germany and prefer to use the driveway. But I'm not absolutely against cyclepaths, I am against being forced to use them. A good cyclepath does not need to be enforced.
The trouble is that German cyclepaths simply are not like those in the Netherlands, and also car drivers, pedestrians behave differently. Cyclepaths are too narrow to overtake safely, there is no good separation to the driveway and to the sidewalk, so conflicts with cars and pedestrians are common.
Planners here don't think properly about the cyclepaths, and no money is invested for a proper infrastructure. That makes poor cyclepaths that are worse than the driveways.

Sadly, where I live in London, very wide roads on strategic cycling routes which could have accommodated segregated cycle paths on the Dutch model are instead having road space re-allocated for free car parking bays.
This guarantees that the existing very low modal share for cycling will continue into the foreseeable future.
Meanwhile the latest cycle count figures at a junction at the heart of my outer London borough show a steady fall in cyclists using it, down from 335 cyclists over the period 7am - 7pm in 1998 to just 228 cyclists in the same period in 2010. This is in a borough of 223,200 people.

To be fair it isn't the Dutch model cycle facilities that the "vehicular cyclists" object to, it's all the others.
- 26 November 2010 at 09:49
- David Hembrow said...
Anonymous from Germany: In my view, poor cycle paths can be worse than none at all. While the German network is extensive, and actually is of high enough quality to have contributed to a relatively high cycling rate, in many cases the quality is not high enough.
You may be interested in a video which I made which compares German and Dutch cycle paths.
- 26 November 2010 at 09:51
- David Hembrow said...
WestfieldWanderer: Amazingly, some people actually do object to the very idea of Dutch infrastructure. Most of them have not seen and used it.

- Fonant said...
In the UK I'm more of a "vehicular cyclist" not because I'm against segregated facilities, but because I'm strongly against the sub-standard, DANGEROUS, segregated facilities that we almost always get in the UK. I would love to see Dutch style cycle facilities here, BUT ONLY IF THEY ARE DESIGNED PROPERLY!
In my mind there is no argument between on-road and off-road cycle provision, the argument is against safe and non-safe cycle provision, whether on-road or off.
Sadly in the UK, off-road cycle provision almost always means some white lines painted on a pedestrian footway, with no priority at any junctions, no decent sight lines at any junctions, and no space to pass cyclists that might happen to be riding the other way. That's the sort of thing I campaign against: I also strongly campaign for proper off-road cycle facilities (although the cycling facility budget for West Sussex for the next two years is zero, so these are unlikely to happen any time soon).
- 26 November 2010 at 10:51
- David Hembrow said...
Fonant: If you've not seen them before, take a look at our comparison photos of British and Dutch streets. There's plenty of room in Britain to do it properly. The problem is merely a lack of desire to do so.
Even in times of austerity, it still makes sense to build good quality cycling provision.
- 26 November 2010 at 11:07
- Fonant said...
Another quick comment: your video doesn't show "cycle paths" like we have in the UK, it shows "cycle roads". The comments in blue about cycle paths are all true in the UK, your answers in green are only true when the cycle facilities are designed just like half-scale roads (as they are in the Netherlands).
So, in a way, the Dutch cycle facilities in your video are ON-ROAD: they are on ROADS designed specifically for cyclists, using exactly the same principles of motor vehicle ROAD design, just at half scale.

Yes, I know we COULD have cycle roads like you have in the Netherlands here in the UK. But not while we have a government that's clearly addicted to promoting motor car use, and local authorities that think that cycling is only for children and a few mad enthusiasts.
The problem is a political one, not a lack of space or technology. Councils won't provide expensive cycle facilities because hardly anyone cycles. Hardly anyone cycles because there aren't any decent cycle facilities.
At least vehicular cyclists who brave the roads are doing a tiny bit to demonstrate demand!

Fonant: I understand what you mean. These cycle paths are absolutely nothing at all like what British cyclists are used to being fobbed off with. They're properly designed and they go everywhere. But, cycle paths is "all" they are. This is what properly designed cycle paths look like. Actually, some of them in this video are a bit lacking compared with more recent Dutch infrastructure. Those in a new housing estate near us look like this.
There is also such a thing as a bicycle road, but that's a bit different.
I agree with every word of your third comment.

I live in Prague and main problem with bike path here is that only one street this wide in prague is interstate highway. Our cities were founded 500 not 50 years ago and we must integrate in current space all kind of traffic.

- David Hembrow said...
Ladia: 500 year old cities were not built to accommodate cars either.
The city I live in, Assen, is 750 years old but provides excellent infrastructure for cycling.
Dutch cities have just the same challenges regarding space as cities in any other country.
My last blog post featured another of Mark's videos showing how both old and new cities make more direct routes for cyclists than for drivers.

David: "They're properly designed and they go everywhere. But, cycle paths is "all" they are."
The terminology is a problem!
What I meant was that your cycle "paths" are DESIGNED just like ROADS are: careful thought is given to junction design, traffic lights work for cyclists as well as cars, routes are continuous and have priority over side roads, litter is cleared away, they're gritted and snow-ploughed in winter, etc. The result is that cycling along them is no less convenient, and is quite a lot safer, than cycling on the motor roads.
In the UK cycle paths are not designed anything like our roads are. They are designed like our FOOTPATHS are (in fact they're often the same thing!). The result is that cycling along them is MUCH less convenient, and quite a bit more dangerous the cycling on motor roads.
My follow-up point was that your "off-road" cycle paths feel like cycling ON a road (without motor cars!), which is what "vehicular cyclists" are so keen to protect. As a vehicular cyclist I'd be very happy cycling on your cycle paths, ideally in a Mango!

Jon: The Netherlands is not perfect. There are some errors, and that looks like one of them. However, I don't think that bollard would cause a huge problem in practice. It looks to me as if the kerb has been ridden over on many occasions...

""Vehicular Cycling" is a survival technique where cyclists are a small minority without proper infrastructure. It's widely practised in the UK and USA."
I suppose it depends on how you define VC. I'd say that many UK cyclist don't practice VC because they do things like ride on footpaths or too close to the gutter. There is a case to be made that vehicular cyclists are a minority within a minority.

well...race car driving isnt allowed on streets. so the race car crowd has to slow down a bit on the streets. i expect there are many times during the day that fast cyclists can open it up on the bike lanes and many paths are probably rather lightly traveled.
- 26 November 2010 at 21:56
While I concur with the political side of your thesis that there is no place with high cycling share, I don't think it is actually true. Cities like Freiburg have had the cyclist long before they started to pick up on it and improve facilities and infrastructure. If there are many cyclists on the road it actually tames traffic and consequentially encourages more poeple to cycle. In the end there is such a demand that some administration picks up the slack. But it is essentially a cultural movement, not a top-to-bottom thing.
Regarding the scepticism for seperated traffic. I really think this is a german issue, for here cyclists are basically marginalised by bad seperated bike lanes that are only safe to use slowly. Especially fast riders get really frustrated by this, and badly designed bike lanes are far more dangerous than shared roads, especially roads where there is enough cycle traffic so that car drivers expect them anyways.
So if you build bike lanes, build them so they are convenient to use and not a punishment, cyclists will use them and no one will complain. Just don't marginalise cycle traffic.

Don't think anyone objects to well designed bike lanes . Problem for us in UK is that what provision we have is often badly designed and in some cases actually dangerous. We also have a very strong motoring lobby who want cyclists off the road so they dont get in way of cars. Consequently lot ofbus want to see a proper network of segregated paths but don't want to be forced to usbitbif we don't want to. For someone like me doing a 40k a day round trip to work keeping up a high average speed makes a big difference to journey time so the road is preferable while for someone doing a shorter journey or with more time a path is better option what we want being the right to choose.
For a London cyclist riding in Amsterdam can be frustrating as we are used to passing cats stuck in traffic rather than being stuck in bike jams and passed by cars . However proper segregated provision would be great though I suspect sadly won't happen in my lifetime as long as doesn't mean we are forced off road to let cars go faster

@Jon - Bollards are necessary sometimes to keep intruders away. Like David, I live in Assen, in a 1920s neighbourhood with narrow streets that are all 30 km/h and mostly one-way nowadays. There is a direct cycle path from my front door to the town centre: 3 minutes by bike, 7 minutes to walk. A car needs 10 minutes of criss-crossing (and then some more to find a parking space). The cycle path is part 4+1 metre (1m sidewalk), part 5m wide. There are removable bollards at both ends and at two crossings - removable as the path needs to be swept once in a while. The bollards are also removed during winter because of gritting. So what happens when the bollards are gone? People in cars take a shortcut. That's why - nobody is perfect.

Nice post David.
This debate about cycle paths is quite a frustrating one. We all want a safer environment to ride in but the problems cycle advocates in many countries face is a combination of un sympathetic government and a divisiions within our own ranks due to the fact that we have to fight tooth and nail for the simplest of improvements and often find ourselves compromising at every step of the way for the sake of receiving any considderation from town or road planners.
We are then threatened with over regulation and left pointing the finger at each other. For example, our town combines bicyle paths with footpaths and gives a 20kmh limit to speed. This is way too fast for cyclists to be riding on footpaths and can create conflict between cyclists and pedestrians. However riders who want to go fast complain that pedestrians get in their way.
On the other hand those who wish to ride on the road are persecuted by drivers because the drivers think cyclists should only be riding on the bicycle paths...
Bicycle paths merge with both roads and footpaths and are often designed in ways that cause confusion and ultimately put the cyclist in considderable danger.
The Government/Local counil are not held responsible for creating inadeqet infrastructure because the general public tend to think that any roadwork that incorporates cycle ways is some kind of charity for a vocal minority group and have very little interest in seeing cycleways as part of the general road infrastructure. (They don't want to pay for that sort of thing)
In the end it's cyclists and the presence of bicycles that are blamed for the problem. As a persecuted group rather than join forces to argue for a thaughtfull well considdered and safe road plan, divisions rise amongst cyclists. We know that there are negative attitudes towards us and so we become slightly paranoid. The pressures of unsympathetic policy makers causes us to fragment and form more specific subcultures of cycing than would have otherwise occurred. In a hostile environment we define our possition (because cycling has become a political issue) We construct ideologies and find ourselves arguing with our alies over minor variations on what should be our common interest.
It's just like 'The Life of Brian' all over again!

the last comment about bikes passing cars and not wanting to be stuck at lights with other cyclists waiting for cars is very telling.I have recently taken up cycling for transport in sydney ,australia.There is a push on to build separated cycleways .Bicycles though are still secondary to cars when it comes to traffic lights,intersections etc.But it is a case of getting it out there.But while I cycle around I see cyclist that have no problem mixing it on the road ,running red lights basically getting somewhere fast because they are on 2 wheels.I wonder if I ask these people would you like your mother or your girlfriend to cycle ,what would they answer.I think these cyclists may have no interest in normalizing cycling because they do not want to conform to rules which would be necessary if cycling became commonplace.
- 28 November 2010 at 05:26
- jonbendtsen said...
@Frits B.
But it makes no sense to block cars there, just 2 meters to the left of the bollard there is a road for cars. They even have a marked left turn lane if one looks at the video leading up to this bollard.
@Shiroi と Kiroi
In Denmark we do have cyclepaths and lots of people cycle. But there are still some that will run redlights. Their interest is purely in getting ahead, not a head.
- 28 November 2010 at 11:29
- Frits B said...
@Jon - That's why I wrote "are sometimes necessary". In this particular case, the bollard is obviously not necessary so it's one of those instances where "rules" dictated the wrong solution.

- Bob Shanteau said...
I'm sorry, but I find it hard to believe your statement that bicyclists need separate infrastructure in order to feel "normalized".
Are you familiar with the TravelTalk film of Copenhagen in 1937? It shows streets dominated by cyclists without a cycle path in sight. Wouldn't those bicyclists consider themselves "normalized"?
What do you think cities like Copenhagen would look like now if bicyclists had been allowed to continue to dominate the streets?
- 7 December 2010 at 06:44
- neil said...
@Bob, not sure I understand what your point is. How does that relate to today's problems with so many cars around? i.e. you would only get the same situation by banning cars or taking the steps the Dutch do give cars very little reason to use that street (e.g. no through route).
If you are simply objecting to separate infrastructure then I don't see how the 1937 example is relevant. Maybe I'm missing something.
- 7 December 2010 at 11:54
- Bob Shanteau said...
@neil: Suppose that instead of separating bicyclists, cities like Copenhagen had allowed cyclists to continue to dominate the streets. Would there still be "so many cars around"?
And if bicyclists were still dominating the streets, why should they care how many cars are around, anyway? Slower traffic would keep right and faster traffic would pass on the right. What's wrong with that?
- 7 December 2010 at 23:43
- David Hembrow said...
Bob: Thank you for your contribution, but your perspective seems a little odd.
Cycling is "normal" when everyone cycles and it's not considered to be a dangerous activity. Here, cycling is not restricted to a self-selecting few, but a means of transport used by very nearly everyone for at least some of their journeys. No-one bad-mouths "cyclists" in general because everyone is a cyclist.
The country in which you are a traffic engineer unfortunately has amongst the very lowest rates of cycle usage in the world and roads which are amongst the least safe overall of any developed nation. What's more, cyclists in the USA face even worse than drivers do (page 506), with 26x the injury rate and 5x the death rate per km travelled of cyclists in the Netherlands. This doesn't seem to me like a particularly glowing record so far as cycling is concerned.
What you are criticising are the very successful policies of the country which has both the most numerous cyclists and the safest cyclists in the world.
For some reason you're also talking about Copenhagen, a city which is not in the Netherlands and has rather less successful infrastructure. There's a very good correlation between expenditure and cycling levels and I think it reasonable to say that Denmark might do better if they invested at the same rate as the Dutch do.
In The Netherlands and in Denmark, just like everywhere else, the coming of mass car ownership had an impact on cycling. It both provided an alternative to cycling and made the streets less pleasant to cycle on. If these countries had not worked on reversing this trend then they would almost certainly have a situation on the streets now which looks very similar to the USA.
Other European countries, such as the UK, which did not try to reverse the trend, managed to almost eradicate an existing cycling culture by adopting "modern" designs for streets which were focussed around cars. In Britain in 1949, cycling accounted for over a third of all the distance travelled on the roads. By 1960 this was reduced to under 10%, by 1970 to just 2% and since 1993 this has remained at well under 1%. Cycling has become a minority activity. It is no longer a "normal" part of life for most people. In fact, 70% of British people now never cycle, even once per year on holiday.
By contrast what both The Netherlands and Denmark have achieved is quite wonderful. In CPH people cycle for half as many journeys as they drive. Several Dutch cities have a cycling rate which is higher than the driving rate.
The only places which have a mass cycling culture now are places which have addressed the problems experienced by cyclists due to motor vehicles. They have done this by addressing the design of infrastructure. Cycling on the roads is not completely unknown here, but it occurs only where the roads are not dominated by motor-vehicles. This is also a form of intervention on behalf of cyclists.

Watching that video reminds me of my many visits to the Netherlands and my experience biking there (shocking, I know). This is clearly the way to do what has been done there: make biking near universal and safe... and... extremely boring. Yes, there I said it.
I acknowledge the perversity of my own feelings, but they've been a long time in the making: I like feeling the rugged individual, negotiating hazards, riding in traffic like a surfer on waves (sometimes, at least). I like the übermensch status and envy/hate accorded me sometimes by my more timid, less healthy, "normal" peers who see my car-freeness as an extreme socio-political position. In the US, it is.
So I'm torn: NL is a kind of utopia. Brilliantly engineered society. I think I might have to take up some extreme sport or maybe sabotage windmills, or run drugs or something, to restore a sense of measured risk-taking and individuation to my daily life if I lived in this utopia. Biking has been completely hollowed out as a vehicle for this kind of thing.
Riding in Amsterdam, once the grin wears off merely from seeing all ages and classes of people riding in all weather, like breathing, I realized that I didn't really enjoy the riding at all. It's too fast for so close-grained a place anyway. What I admire about Amsterdam and other Dutch cities is not what they've done TO bicycling, but what they have done WITH its lifeless body, the good they've made of the sacrifice. They have made large, dense, quiet urban spaces full of relatively healthy, vigorous people, whose faces you can see and with whom you can speak in public, out of doors. Car culture has destroyed the like here.

Hi Todd, thank-you for an excellent comment.
I agree completely. When I first visited I was also taken by the lack of challenge faced by cyclists here. I used to enjoy my daily dose of adrenalin when fighting for a little space on the roads in the UK.
However, I then had children, and I didn't enjoy other people driving at my children because they were cycling on the road. It changed my mind about all of this: Such thrills are not what the transport of the masses consists of. Car manufacturers and airlines do a lot to emphasize how boring these modes of transport are. It's better that cycling is a little "boring" but also a normal thing for everyone to do.
If you want a thrill, it's still available of course. I like to race occasionally. That certainly gets the adrenalin going. I'm no threat to the fast people, but it's a lot of fun.

The video at the head of this post was shot at a time when traffic of all kinds -- motorized, bicycle, pedestrian -- was extremely light. For that reason, I don't think that it has much to demonstrate about typical safety concerns, or about delays resulting from congestion. Can we have a video shot under more usual conditions?
- 13 December 2010 at 04:43
- David Hembrow said...
John: It's a red herring. The infrastructure works whatever the level of traffic.
I'm afraid no-one's going to go back and shoot otherwise identical videos for you with different traffic conditions, but it's a reasonable request to ask to see roads at busier times. If you look around on the blog you'll find others shot at busier times, including several shot at (and conveniently tagged with) rush hour, most of which include videos
The traffic may still look light in some instances. That's how it often looks. When I first started visiting the Netherlands from the UK I often thought I'd arrived during a holiday or when I went out that an important football game must be in progress. This impression was simply due to the lack of cars. I was conditioned to thinking that large numbers of cars are normal.

Research Articles
Important Bird Areas (IBAs) form a network of priority sites that are critical for the conservation of birds and biodiversity. A standard framework for monitoring IBAs is being implemented by the BirdLife Partnership globally. Scores are assigned on a simple ranked scale for state (condition), pressure (threats) and response (conservation action) at each site, from which IBA indices can be calculated. In Kenya, this scoring system was applied retrospectively using information in the national IBA directory (1999) and subsequent status reports (2004 and 2005). IBA indices for 36 IBAs show that their average condition deteriorated between 1999 and 2005, with the mean state score being between 'unfavourable' and 'near favourable'. Pressures on IBAs showed a slight decline in intensity, especially from 2004 to 2005, coincident with an improvement in management that was reflected in increasing response scores. Compared to unprotected IBAs, officially protected sites had substantially greater conservation responses underway, were subject to marginally lower pressures and tended to be in slightly better condition. Other disaggregations of the data allow comparisons to be made for sites in different habitats, of different size, and managed by different agencies. This national example for Kenya suggests that the BirdLife IBA monitoring framework provides a simple but effective way of tracking trends in the state of IBAs, the pressures upon them, and the responses in place. The system is sensitive enough to detect differences between sites and over time, but simple enough to be implemented with little training and without sophisticated technology. The results provide vital information for managers of individual protected areas, management agencies responsible for suites of sites, and national governments, and can be used to track progress in tackling the global biodiversity crisis.

Kilgore routs Shelton State in opener, shifts focus to unbeaten SMC
Published: Monday, March 18, 2013 at 3:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, March 19, 2013 at 1:00 a.m.
HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Maybe it's because Spartanburg Methodist is not the No. 1 overall seed of the NJCAA tournament.
At Hutchinson (Kan.) Sports Arena
Monday's Games
Game 1: No. 16 seed North Platte (Neb.) 76, No. 17 Mineral Area (Mo.) 50
Game 2: No. 9 Northwest Florida State 81, No. 24 USC Salkehatchie 54
Game 3: No. 13 Howard (Texas) College 63, No. 20 East Mississippi 54
Game 4: No. 21 Lee (Texas) 104, No. 12 Hagerstown (Md.) 97
Game 5: No. 15 Kilgore (Texas) 80, No. 18 Shelton State (Ala.) 58
Game 6: No. 10 Coffeyville (Kansas) 77, No. 23 Walters State (Tenn.) 53
Tuesday's Games
Game 7: No. 14 Motlow State (Tenn.) vs. No. 19 Connors State (Okla.), 11 a.m.
Game 8: No. 11 Salt Lake (Utah) vs. No. 22 Eastern Oklahoma, 1 p.m.
Game 9: No. 1 Iowa Western vs. North Platte, 3 p.m.
Game 10: No. 8 New Mexico JC vs. Northwest Florida State, 5:30 p.m.
Game 11: No. 4 Hutchinson (Kan.) vs. Howard, 7:30 p.m.
Game 12: No. 5 Vincennes (Indiana) vs. Lee, 9:30 p.m.
Note: SMC, the No. 2 seed, received a first-round bye and will open against Kilgore (Texas) at 1 p.m. Wednesday.
Brian Hoberecht, head coach of SMC's first opponent on Wednesday, Kilgore (Texas) College, said he didn't know the Pioneers were undefeated.
"I thought they had lost a couple," Hoberecht said. "They're 32-0?"
Kilgore will try to make it 32-1 and done.
The Rangers easily won their first-round game Monday night, 80-58, against Shelton State of Tuscaloosa, Ala., in the Hutchinson Sports Arena. The Rangers (26-4) are seeded No. 15 in the 24-team tournament and are also ranked at that spot.
Shelton State, seeded No. 18, lost by 10 points to SMC during a mid-December tournament in Aiken.
Kilgore earned an at-large berth to this event after falling in the Region 14 semifinals to Lee College of Texas, which beat Hagerstown (Md.) in a wild one Monday, 104-97. SMC comes in with a perfect record and a No. 2 overall seed.
One benefit Kilgore will have, Hoberecht said, is that the Pioneers have to wait until 1 p.m. Wednesday to get their first action in the single-elimination tournament.
"I've always felt that (teams without a first-round bye) have an advantage," he said, "because they've gotten the anxiousness of the first game out of the way, they've been in the arena and actually played on the rims. They've turned and squared and looked down the floor 94 feet and seen what the backdrop is like.
"I think it does matter. How significant is that? I don't know if it changes the outcome of games, but I do think it matters because we'll be a little more comfortable on Wednesday."
Some of SMC's key players have been on this court, however. The Pioneers, making their first appearance last season since 1999, had three games. Kilgore hasn't been in the event since 1994.
"The biggest key is to develop a game plan that we feel fits our team against Spartanburg," Hoberecht said. "… We'll go back and start watching film and breaking them down, but it's going to be more about Kilgore and what we do as opposed to disrupting what they do."
Kilgore had a 36-22 lead at halftime and pulled away by shooting 58 percent after that. Sophomore guard Lonnie McLanahan had 19 points and six assists in only 20 minutes. The Rangers won despite 23 turnovers and allowing 13 steals. They had 19 assists on 26 baskets.
"I thought it was a great win," Hoberecht said. "I thought our guys were very good at controlling the tempo of the game tonight. … I thought that was important against a team that plays a little chaotic and presses and tries to speed you up as much as they do. We wanted to be opportunistic, but you can't get into a track meet with them. That plays into their strengths."
Kilgore had 49 points off the bench and all 10 players who participated were in there for at least 12 minutes.

Work on the Lakeland city government's phones made calling into City Hall, Lakeland Electric and the Lakeland Police Department impossible this morning. But the system should now be restored.
The city replaced its phone server and software over the weekend, said Kevin Cook, a city spokesman. The installation process caused a temporary interruption to service, but it was restored Sunday. The service went down again 8 a.m. today.
A Lakeland Police Department spokeswoman said the agency wasn't receiving some non-emergency phone calls today, but the system has been restored.

NEW ORLEANS -- You can hear the excitement in his voice, see the awe in his eyes. So when Stephen Curry expresses his amazement at being an All-Star, it's believable.
"It's surreal, man," Stephen Curry said after the Western Conference All-Stars' morning practice on Saturday. "I'm enjoying it and taken it all in, but it's still surreal that it's actually happening."
At the same time, he doesn't appear overwhelmed. The way he feeds the media beast. The way he interacts with his fellow All-Stars. When he says he's comfortable on this big stage, it's believable.
"I feel at home here," Curry said, "so it's good."
Both ends of the spectrum makes sense for Curry. His first All-Star should feel other-worldly. Especially when you consider this platform didn't look possible at one point. Between ankle issues, bad teams and splitting positions, some thought he would never get to this level.
This is the same guy who used to get benched for Acie Law. A reality he can now laugh at.
"He's my biggest inspiration," Curry said with a laugh. "He definitely motivated me to keep working. I almost wanted to quit basketball."
Truth is, quitting was not an option. Not after dozens of ankle sprains and two surgeries. Not after three straight losing seasons to start his career. Not after getting snubbed last year for an All-Star berth.
Curry has always known what every just figured out: he belongs here. He's been groomed for this, on-and-off the court.
His father, Dell Curry, exposed him and groomed him. His career at Davidson, which included a captivating run to the Elite Eight, prepped him for the frenzy and pressure of the spotlight.
All he needed was for his game to catch up. And it has. And that's surreal.
"You pay attention to All-Star Weekend," he said. "You watch all the story lines. You watch the game. To be on the other side of the line, experiencing this ... It's so rewarding knowing where the team was from my rookie year and how we've tried to change things. ... To be part of that process, it's special."

Dear Bevier,
I realize that no matter where a person lives, it becomes home because of comfort and
familiarity. However, I am so glad I was given the pleasure of living in Bevier, Missouri.
It is not only my hometown, but has been my family's hometown for ?ve generations.
What an amazing thing to be able to say!
Technically, my family lives outside of the city of Bevier, but everything we are a part of
centers around this special town. What makes it special? I believe this can be
answered with one word and that would have to be "acceptance." The people who have
lived in Bevier all of their lives have no problem opening their hearts to include the
newcomers. I hear often from the new residents, no matter how dif?cult their lives were
before moving to Bevier, when living here those problems subside. They feel a part of
the closeness almost immediately and learn to become a "Bevierite" quickly. Why does
this happen? Truly I don't know but for some reason Bevier has a certain amount of
This magic has allowed this small town to maintain their existence, when similar towns
are fading away. I believe this ability to stay strong comes from generations of families
like mine, making Bevier their home even after traveling and living elsewhere during a
portion of their lives. My mother tells the story often of defending her choice of returning
to Bevier after college to some of her college friends. She chose to move back home
because it was her home even though it was not a large city. She wanted to raise her
family in the comfort and familiarity of not only relatives but the family of Bevier. That's
the magic of Bevier - no matter where we may travel we are proud to call Bevier our
home. This pride is shown everywhere you turn but I see it most at the Bevier
This one single event, the annual Bevier Homecoming, is a great example of pride in
our small community. Many of our residents work together for weeks to entertain
thousands of people. That would not happen without dedicated people who not only
love their town but have a desire to keep their community healthy and strong. And
strong are the ties I have to my home of Bevier. So, thank you, Bevier, for your
acceptance, your pride and your determination to remain strong! I am so honored to be
a part of something so great! I want to keep our little town thriving for many more
generations to enjoy the magic!
A proud resident of Bevier,

Xslimmer reduces the disk space taken up by Universal Binary applications preserving just the Intel or PowerPC version.
Xslimmer is a new and user-friendly way to size down your Universal Binary apps, without losing any of their functionality by removing the code inside the Universal Binaries that does not fit with your machine's architecture, a code that never gets executed and just wastes your disk space.
In addition, Xslimmer can strip out unneeded languages. Safari is available in more than a dozen languages, Adium in more than 20. This is great, but how many of those do you need? Xslimmer allows you to select how many languages you want to preserve in your apps and will remove the rest, recovering lots of precious free space from your disk.
Now fully Leopard compatible!
Required OS: not specified

Heh...I've never had any issues with either app...
"digiangel said: Same apps for free: Trim the Fat and Monolingual"
If you want to screw up your mac then it's a good choice, used it before and some apps crashed or functionality errors. I love Xslimmer because it have a blacklist system so you don't slim apps that will not function right. I paid for it and I'm loving it!
Same apps for free: Trim the Fat and Monolingual
Excellent, just used it on my MacBook Pro, cleaned 4GB of files!
A lil bit slow but i guess it is because i have many apps and because i backuped all removed files using its settings on an external drive "just in case"... :)
My machine is only two weeks old and I just cleared more than 2gb from it.
Does exactly what it says, and does that very fast and without any hassle for the user. I had no problems whatsoever. A pure delight and worth every penny, especially for me on a MacBook Pro with limited harddrive space.
Groxx: You ever noticed each update for Itunes is 250mb? It all goes into bloating that program. If you download like 4 or 5 of them, unpacked and installed it ends up making itunes 1gb, which it doesnt need to be. Programs like this remove old versions, unnecessary files, and trim seldom used ones.
This app cleared up 2.3 GB on my hard drive! Works like magic.
I got it as part of the most recent Macheist, but it'd be well worth $12 if you're on the fence about purchasing.
Add me to the happy user list. 2.06 GB free'd up for me.
