Southampton manager Mauricio Pochettino is not planning to add to his squad in January, despite a slump in form.
Despite an impressive start to their Premier League campaign, Pochettino's men have not won in their last five matches and have dropped to ninth in the table.
However, the Argentinean has been impressed with his side's performances throughout the season and is not eyeing any new recruits next month.
"I am happy since the beginning of the season with how the team has been playing," he said on Friday.
"We have been upholding our philosophy since the beginning of the season.
"Perhaps results haven't gone our way but I'm happy with the way the team have been playing."
On the subject of transfers, Pochettino added: "We're not really concerned, we're happy with the young players that are part of this team.
"That gives us an important balance but we're not really looking at the January transfer window.
"We're happy with our young players' contributions, so we're not really looking to use the window."
Pochettino confirmed that defender Nathaniel Clyne is close to returning to action following a hamstring injury, but is unlikely to feature in Sunday's clash with Tottenham.

Azure Seas: Art Deco Aquamarine Diamond Ring
By 1930 Art Deco was in as full of swing as was the Jazz Age. In Paris L'Union des Artistes Modernes began operation and at Lexington and 42nd Street the Chrysler Building reached for the stars in abject Art Deco form New York City style.
Not a far cry from all the fanfare that 1930 held, this platinum ring holds its superbly hued aquamarine matrix high and with just a kiss of teal. Almost cushion cut, the actual 9.69 carat natural aquamarine stone takes in all the blue of the waters of the earth and their composite reflection in the sky. The gem shines with exceptional brilliance and has a personality which matches the era. In parlance of the time: that hot mamma is butter and egg fly. The open work platinum mount features classic Art Deco step-down shoulders, each set with five (5) rose cut diamonds for a total estimated diamond weight of .10 carats.
Date: Circa 1900.
Measurements: 5/8 of an inch (1.7 cm) in length north to south on the hand by 7/16 of an inch (1.1 cm) in width and rises 5/16 of an inch (0.6 cm) in height off the finger. Weigh of 5.4 grams (3.5 dwt).
Ring Size: US 7-1/2 (UK O-1/2; Int. Dia. 17.75; Euro 56 mm; Japan 15) and easily can be sized to fit most. Ring sizing information.
Hallmarks: "66".
Condition: Excellent. One rose cut diamond replaced.
Note: Aquamarine has been removed from mount for accurate weight. Diamonds have not been removed from their mounts to preserve the integrity of the setting. All diamond weights have been approximated by measurement and formula and may vary from actual weights. Grading has been done in situ and also may vary if diamonds are removed.

The Communications Minor provides a contemporary, easily translatable skill set in modern communications tools and techniques that enable you to become a competent professional in a wide array of workplace settings.
Become a more well-rounded professional and acquire technical skills and communications strategies that will benefit you in any field or industry.
The Communications minor is the perfect opportunity to incorporate an understanding of media and communication into your major focus. You will receive a strong, hands-on foundation in communications writing, web design and public speaking, as well as an education in the ethical principals and the cultural factors influencing today's communications professions. Dedicated course offerings in Technology and Design, Media Analysis and Journalism in the Digital Age ensure that you will be exposed to tools and strategies currently used in professional environments.
Review the course requirements for a Minor in Communications.
This course is designed to provide an introductory survey of the study of communication. We begin with a general history of the evolution of human communication, and continue by examining definitions, models, symbols, and basic concepts that relate to how we communicate. Much of the course will focus on how human beings interact, whether alone, in groups, with friends, or at work. We will examine the changing role of language in our life; the differences between oral and written communication; the role of culture, gender, social class and ethnicity when we communicate; and how people relate to inanimate objects and machines. In addition, we will look at recent studies on how babies communicate and explore the question of whether animals can communicate.
The new journalism is the journalism of the digital age. In this course, students will be introduced to the professional practices of today's journalists and will be introduced to the changing world of modern journalism, exploring both the traditional and the cutting edge. We will also examine some of the pressing issues and dilemmas that confront today's journalists, who are grappling with an industry in transition. Students will have the opportunity to learn: to identify facts, and distinguish facts from spin; to fact-check and learn to identify which sources are reliable; how to utilize electronic databases to find information; how to create and deliver a news story; and the various ways that today's journalists find and report news.

NUMBER*- --^4, ^ ■<* MISS FIDGETS MISTAKE. "K you please, ma'am, won't you give me a drink of milk?" \Miss Fydget had * just come in from a long and bootless search through the pasture for a wandering brood of young turkeys wHch had been missing since morning. She was warm and tired; one boot was burst open on the side; her sun-bonnet hung limp at the back of her head; her gray earls were in true artistic confusion, and a vicious blackberry briar had torn her hands, until she looked as if she might have been in a skirmish with the Zulus. "But I wouldn't have minded all that," was Miss Fydget's melancholy comment to herself, "if only I could, have found my young turkeys! They do say that there is a company of tramps loafing about the country, and—" Just then the mild voice of an old snan, sitting on the well-curb, broke in upon the thread of her reflections—an old man, in a shabby gray coat, buttoned closely across his chest, shoes tHckly coated with dust, and a rude cane, cut from the woods, upon wHch he rested his folded hands. Miss Fydget stared at the old man; the old man returned her gaze, depreciatingly. " Perhaps you're deaf, ma'am," said the stranger, elevating his voice a semitone or so Hgher. " Ho more than yourself !" said Miss Fydget, naturally somewhat irritated. "Would you have the kindness to give me a little milk?" Miss Fydget bethought herself of the floating rumor she had heard. Perhaps this venerable vagrant was one of the -very band now marauding through the vales and glens of Bochemont; perhaps even now he had a corps of bloody- minded coadjutors Hdden behind the stone wall, or under the moss-grown loof of the ancient smoke-house. And Miss Fydget was possessed of several pieces of antique silver, and had $40 in an old tea-pot, on the uppermost closet shelf] ■••■■"■■■ are you?" curtly questioned "Who she. "A man and a* brother," the old man answered, not without a covert smile. ♦ * "Wo, you're hot," said Miss I-jdget, incensed it what she deemed a- piece of zmnecessciy insolence. "You're a tramp!" ■ TLi0 r*rr" *". 'isiiGtL. - "' ' "Is a tramp, tiitqi, destitute ox"^"the privileges of humanity ?" he asked. " Eh ?" said Miss Fydget. " Tramps must live as well as other people," pleaded the old man. " Now, look at me." "Yes," said Miss Fydget, "I'm looking at you, and a dusty, shabby-looking figure you are, I must say." " I've walked fifteen miles since morning, with nothing to eat or drink." "That's what they all say," said Miss Fydget, incredulously. "Would it be any great stretch to your hospitality to give me a slice of bread and a drink of cool milk ?" he replied. Miss Fydget stood for a moment pondering the petition in her mind. "Look here, old man!" she said, at last, "I know perfectly well that you're a tramp;,but I suppose that you're human, after all. There's a pile of knotty pine stumps under- the shed; you may split a few for my cooking-stove." " "But, ma'am " " I knew how it would be," shrilly interrupted Miss Fydget. "You're a deal too lazy to work; you'd rather starve than do an honest day's work, any time." "I beg your pardon," said the old man, mildly. "It is a good many years since I split a pile of wood." ''I'll go bail it is," said Miss Fydget, satirically. "But if you will get me the ax I will try and do my best," he added, meekly. " The ax is hanging up in the woodshed, at the left-hand side of the door," said Miss Fydget. And she went into the house, leaving her venerable visitor to do as he pleased about accepting her offer. After she was within the four yellow- washed walls of her own Mtchen. however, it occurred to her that she had done rather a foolish thing. "I suppose he'd as soon split my head -open as the sticks of wood," she thought to herself. "And of course he knows that I'm alone in the world—I mean in the house; but it's pretty much the same thing," with a deep sigh. "And who knows but that I may be murdered within the next five minutes ? " "Thud! thud!" came the sound of the ax, descending with slow, regular strokes upon the knotty stumps of yellow pine, and Miss Fydget listened with a sort of terrible fascination, wondering as she did so what sort of relation, in the matter of sound, the human tympanum might bear to tiie pine stumps. "What a fool I was!" said she to herself. And with noiseless movements she went across the kitchen floor, and took down a rusty musket, wHch had hung suspended over the old brick chimney ever since she was a little child. " I don't know as I could fire it off," said she. "But I'll try, if I see any signs of mischief!" It was unnecessary, however. She poured out a bowl of milk, first thriftily pausing to skim it, and then cut a good thick slice of rye bread, taking care to secrete the bread-knife when she was through. And then, seating herself by the window, her thoughts wandered back to the question of the missing brood of turkeys. "He knows where theyare, I'll bet anything!" soliloquized Miss Fydget. "And.he shall .tell me. Old man—old man, I say!" The venerable wood-splitter paused at the sound of her summons. " Come here!" she called. The old man obeyed. " You've done enough," said Miss Fydget, inwardly rejoiced that he had left his ax sticking in the last pine-knot, instead of coming toward her brandishing it in the air, Powhatan f asHon. " That is what I was just thinking myself," observed the old man, wiping his streaming forehead. "And now," said Miss Fydget, sharply and suddenly, as if she fain would take liim by surprise, "where are my turkeys?'.' ' " Eh ?" uttered the old man. "My turkeys!" shrilly enunciated Miss Fydget. My brood of sixteen wHte tur- key-cHcks!" " I am sure I cannot say," said the old man, with a puzzled countenance. " That's false!" said Miss Fydget, imperially. "If yoa don't know, your gang does! And I insist on having my turkeys back again!" The old man looked bewildered. Miss Fydget eyed him with a gaze calculated to strike dismay into the most obdurate heart. "Madam—" he began, but Miss Eyd- get interrupted him. " There's your milk," said she, " and your bread. If you can eat and drink wi#i a good conscience, knowing that my turkeys are gone, do so." Apparently Miss Fydget's turkey cHcks rested but lightly-upon the conscience of the wayfarer, for he ate and drank to the last mouthful. " Madam !" he said,' as he placed _ the empty bowl within the window-sill— Miss'Fydget had taken the precaution to bolt and bar the door. " Go," said the lady, curtly. "But I wished to say to you— By way of answer, Miss Fydget took up the rusty gun, placed it on her shoulder, and pointed the barrel full at her guest. " If you don't take yourself off, I'll fire!" said Miss Fydget, resolutely. And, upon this unmistakable hint, the old man took up Hs cap and trudged away as fast as he could go. * , " The woman must be a maniac!" said he to himself. While Miss Fydget made'haste to take a dose of valerian to settle her "perturbed senses." t * _ " IVe had a narrow eseape of- it," said she. * " But I must get rested as quickly as T)assible5 and gov to Aisrrfna Thorpe's to tear ~ Thy Bishop is ■to t3 'the-e, ~'Zrr& I wouldn't miss the opportunity of meeting him for $1,000!" And, between the stimulus of the valerian' and the calm afforded by a half hour's nap, Miss Fydget managed to array.herself in a stiff, black.silk dress, with a white ribbon cap, and set out for Lavina Thorpe's, at a few moments past 4. As she crossed her door-yard, a slowly- winding procession met her eye, returning down the rocky slopes of the pasture-meadow—the sixteen young turkeys! "There they come now," said Miss Fydget, with a momentary twinge of conscience in regard to the tramp. "However, it's all over and gone now, and what's done can't be undone!" * The company was all gathered at Lavina Thorpe's; the best china and silver were out and great bunches of cabbage roses decked the mantel in gilt vases, that were at least a century old. "Is he here?" nervously whispered Miss Fydget, as she removed, her hat in the front chamber up-stairs. "The dear man—yes!" said Miss Thorpe, enthusiastically clasping her hands. '' Walked all the way from Sims- town Station, and met with all sorts of interesting adventures. What do you think of his being taken for a " But here she was called away. When Miss Fydget descended, serene and smiling, she was led up to a pleasant old man, with gray hair and a cordial blue eye. "Miss Fydget," said Miss Thorpe, fussily, "let me make you acquainted with Bishop Playfair, of Ohirita Territory." "Bless my soul!" cried Miss Fydget, dropping her fan and smelling-bottle, "it's the tramp!" The Bishop smiled serenely. "Miss Fydget," said he, "you never can guess how deliciously cool that milk tasted to me. And, by the way, I met a brood of young turkeys in a stubble- field as I crossed from the Hghway, wHch I concluded must be yours." Both joined in irresistible laughter, and in five minutes Miss Fydget, set at her ease by the Bishop's tact and kindness, was chatting cheerfully away regarding the CHrita missions. "But to think." said Miss Lavina Thorpe, afterward, " that you mistook the Bishop of Ohirita Territory for a tramp!" "And set him to splitting wood, and pointed a rusty musket at him," said Miss Fydget.

He went away ostensibly for a short visit to England and was never heard of in Norwich again, although tradition has it that he was a pirate by profession and that he was hung as such soon after leaving Norwich.

At this time he was surrounded by soldiers, who violently dragged him to the spot where his close chair awaited him. On descending the staircase he was insulted; lighted pipes were thrown under his feet, and tobacco smoke was blown in his face. Whitehall being reached, the King regained his composure; he shrugged his shoulders at the cries of the soldierb. "Poor men," he said, on getting oufc of his chair; " for a httle money they would do as much against then- commanders." Having entered his apartment, "Herbert," said the King, to his faithful servant, "my nephew, the Prince Elector, will endeavor to visit me, and some other Lords that love me, whom I would see, but my time is short and precious. I am desirous to improve it the best I may in preparation. I hope they will not think ifc ill that none have access to me but my children." He sent for the Bishop of London, Juxon. As he approached the King, he gave way to his grief. "But, my Lord," said the King, "lefc us leave that; we have no time to spare. I must resign myself to meet my God. We will not talk of those rogues, in whose hands I am. They thirst for my blood, and they will have it, and God's will be done. I thank God, I heartily forgive them." He remained all day closeted with the Bishop, receiving no one. On the 29th his children were brought to him. The little Princess Elizabeth, who was 12 years of age, burst into tears at the sight of her father. The Duke of Gloucester, who was but 8 years old, cried with his sister. The King took them upon his knees and shared a few jewels with them. He endeavored to console his daughter by pointing out some pious reading for-her. He enjoined her to tell her brothers that he had pardoned his enemies, and to say to her mother that the last moment lie would love her as on the first day. Then, turning to the Httle Duke, " Sweetheart," he said to him, "now they will cut off thy father's IwadZ The child looked afc him with a serious air. "Mark, child, what I say; they will cut off my head, and, perhaps, make thee King, and thy head, too, they will cut off at last." ' "I will be torn in pieces first," replied the child, greatly disturbed. The King embraced him with delight, put him down, and kissed his daughter, and blessed them both, then, suddenly rising. " Have them taken away,*' he said to Juxon. The children went away in tears. Charles took them back into his arms, and blessed them onee 'more; then, tearing himself from their caresses, he fell upon his knees and resumed his prayers with the Bishop and Herbert, the only witnesses of their sad farewells. While the King was thus tasting the bitterness of death, his Judges met to sign the warrant for •his execution. Great difficulty was experienced in assembling the Commissioners. Nearly all were agitated and affected. Their signatures were, scarcely ligible. Cromwell alone seemed gay and clamorous, and besmeared with ink the face of Martyn, who sat beside him, and seized the hand of Col. Ingoldsby, to compel him to sign. On the morning of the 30th the King had arisenearly. "I have a greatworktodo."hesaid to Herbert, and he began his toilet. The hands of the f a^hf ul servant trembled in arranging his hair. "Take, I pray you, the same pains as usnal," said the King, " although my headis not to remain om my shoulders long. Iwould be as trim to-day as a bridegroom." The Bishop arrived and opened the gospel, read the twenty- seventh chapter of St. Matthew. The King thou^it it particularly applicable to his case; however, it was the proper lesson for the day. The King was st prayers; it was 10 o'clock. A low rap was heard at the door; it was Col. Hacker. He was escorted, with fche Bishop, traversing the park between two lines of soldiers drawn up along the passage, to Whitehall. His aspect was serene, his eyes bright, his step firm, walking even faster than the guard, and marveling at their slowness. He received the communion from the hands of the Bishop, saying, "I go from a corruptible to an incorruptible crown. I am ready for all that is about to befall me, and from the bottom of my heart I have forgiven them alL" He traversed the banqueting hall behind the line of soldiers. _ He ate a piece of bread and drank a glass of wine. It was 1 o'clock. Hacker knocked at the door. Juxon and Herbert fell upon their knees. It was the King who raised them.

Some days before the census day printed schedule^ were delivered at every house or tenement; in Wales these were printed in Welsh, for the benefit of the lower classes. These schedules contained questions about the name, relation to the head of the family, condition, age, sex, occupation, and birth-place of every person in Great Britain, and also to the number of deaf, dumb and blind. Measures were taken to secure accurately the names of mght laborers, persons out of the country, travelers, seamen, " soldiers, etc. These schedules were all filled up in the mght of March 30-31, and were taken up at an early hour on March 31, the collector .filling up the parts that had been left blank through their negligence or inability. All unoccupied houses and buildings in course of construction were also noted. The floating population— persons who spent the mght in boats and barges, in barns, sheds, etc., were required to be estimated as nearly as possible. The enumerators were allowed one week to make their returns in, all transcribed, and the summaries and estimates completed to detailed instructions. The district Begistrars had to complete then: revision of the returns of their subordinates in a fortnight, paying particular attention to nine specially defined points. These revised returns were again revised by the Superintendent Begistrars, and then transmitted to the Census Ofiice. The census was the most successful, in quickness and accuracy, accomplished in any country up to that time, and the same system has been pursued, with little variation, ever since. The digestion of tlie census reports by the central authorities is conducted most thorougHy, and the compilations are of the greatest value to statisticians and economists. The British system served as a model for many other countries, where the census is now taken in one day by means of printed schedules. 3HI©w Sam IFffamcisc© "Was IPsprged. of Its ILawless EleMmeimts ss. ftraayte? ofi ss, (Demtnmry AgOo [From the Hew York Herald.] The famous episode in the early history of California, wHch excited the attention of the civilized world in 1856, has become dimmed in general recollection by stupendous intervening events, although perfectly-well remembered in California itself. The only precise knowledge of it possessed by the new generation is derived from Gen. Sherman, who, in his "Memoirs," gives a lively, but onesided and hostile, sketch of its history. Gen. Sherman was, at the time", a banker in San Erancisco. Some_ time before the creation of the Vigilance Committee he had been appointed Major General of the State militia, but had not accepted and qualified. On the outbreak of the disturbances he was persuaded by the Governor-to take the office, and he entered with characteristic dash and zeal upon the task of suppressing the "Yigilants." As the movements was outside the law, it was the duty of the State Government to suppress it, and it was for Gen. Sherman, as commander of the militia, to devise the plans. But he had no success, and threw up his commission in disgust. He applied to Commodore Earragut, then stationed at San Erancisco, for a sHp, but was refused. He applied to Gen. Wool, then commanding the Umted States troops in California, for arms. He asserts in the "Memoirs" that they were promised, and that Gen. Wool afterward denied Hs promise, and he is pretty severely handled in the "Memoirs" in consequence. When that alleged promise was violated, Sherman found that he was powerless, since all the arms on the coast were in possession either of the Yigilants or Gen. Wool. Thereupon Sherman resigned Hs commission scud went back to Hs bank. An application was afterward made by the Gov6rh<?r to President Pierce for Eederal assistance, which was refused. The best publie- opinionwas so' strongly on the sideo£ the Yigfiints thatitwas d^sine'd unwise to interfere.

This was the culmination of an excitement which had been growing for weeks. Casey, after the shooting, went and surrendered himself to the Sheriff, a member of the ballot-stuffing gang, who was Hs friend. The next day after King's funeral, the Yigilants went to the prison, seized Casey, tried Hm by their secret tribunal, convicted and sentenced him, and, on the following day, hanged liim and another murderer, Cora, in front of the Yigilants' headquarters. These swift measures struck terror into the corrupt ring, and the Yigilants kept control for the ensuing three months, until they had accomplished their work, in the course of wHch they hanged four miscreants and banished about twenty. The most remarkable instance of their defiant and relentless energy was their arrest of the CHef Justice of the State, for stabbing one of their constables, and they would have hanged him if the eon- stable had died of Hs wound. The friends of Terry, the CHef Justice, applied to the Umted States Judge for a habeas corpus, wHch he found a pretext for refusing. They afterward procured a habeas from a State Judge, wHch put the Yigilants in a dilemma. But their ■wits were equal to the occasion. Before the officer could approach to serve the writ, they had spirited away the CHef Justice, and then opened their doors and told the officer to satisfy himself that they were detaining nobody in custody. When they had done their work, they resigned, amid a festive celebration. Although they were techHcai murderers, no attempt was made to punish them, for no jury could have been found to bring in a verdict of guilty. Eor the ensuing twenty years San Erancisco was one of the best-governed cities in the United States. She Had Him. "Husband," said a wife, "I think we should have a filter for om- hydrant." "Bat that would increase our grocery bill, dear," replied the head of the family with a twinkle in the corner of Hs eye. "How so?" queried she. "By our system losing .just so much brain food— from the water, you- know," he said. "Well, you are welcome to have your part of the water unfiltered," she continued. '' Aye, but I need its brain food the least of any in the family," declared he, looking at her provokingly. There was a momentary pause only, when she retorted: "lean see that you are entirely right—having no brain to feed; dear, what should you want of brain food ?" He looked up at her again—this time appeaiingly—and it was noticed that the twinkle no longer dwelt in his eye—it had gone over to hers.

A Dutch journal' gives the following information about the different methods wHch have been used in sealing letters : Eor a long period ordinary beeswax was the only material employed. Toward the middle of the sixteenth century tHs -was replaced by sealing-wax, introduced from India. By degrees this came into general use. The oldest book in wHch there is mention of sealing-wax is a treatise of one Garsias de Orta qn Aromatics and Simples, published in 1563; and the first letter known to have been sealed with wax is said to have been written to Frederick Count Palatine, by a Erench gentleman, sent on a mission to the Court of Weimar. Wafers made their appearance somewhere about the same time. Adhesive envelopes were invented and first used in England about 1848. It seems very strange that so simple a device was not thought of before. By slow degrees the most conservative abandoned sealing-wax and wafers; but they were long retained in those strongholds of conservatism, the English Government offices. Sealing-wax-makers' occupation is now nearly gone. Eobtx years ago a stock of liquors, kept for sale in Swanzey, N.

Yes!! I love this too! It really makes my day when I hear an old song. I now listen to a radio station that plays a lot of songs from the 80s and I'm always hearing something good. Happy memories. :)
We have Ram Power "One you remember, one you live" meaning they do one 80/90s song and one more recent… excellent – except when I travel (it's local for Rome) when I bring MegaTiny with MP3s taken from YouTube of old videos! ;)

CHANTAL SUTHERLAND, STAR BILLING, Winner: "I worked her the other morning and she did a lot of looking around. When I did get in the stretch she was looking and had her ears forward so I did a little screaming. But she ran really well, she's nice. I love riding for the Krikorians, they're such nice people. And John Shirreffs, he always does such a great job. It's an honor riding for these people. I feel really great. Let's keep it rolling.
KAYLA STRA, ENTRUSTMENT, Second: "How about that, the women running 1-2 in the Senorita Stakes. I think that's the first time Chantal has beaten me when we've finished first and second. Every other time, I beat her. It's OK. I'll let her have the stakes."
BRICE BLANC, CAMBINA, Third: "I had a good trip. I moved out on the backside and tried to move a little bit gradually because they weren't going that fast. She was on the bridle, but as I said, they weren't going very fast. She gave me a good run, I just couldn't catch them. I can't really give her an excuse."
OWNER-BREEDER GEORGE KRIKORIAN, STAR BILLING, Winner: "She's a half sister to Starrer, who's a multiple graded winning stakes mare, and also a half-sister to a horse called Stellar Jayne, who's also a multiple Grade I winner. We just hope the family continues to flourish like this. I don't know where we'll run next. We'll just have to digest this and then let John find a good spot for her.''
Notes: This was the second Senorita win for Krikorian and Shirreffs, having teamed with Makeup Artist in 2003…

Cooking is fun. Eating is funner. I cook, photograph and write these recipes.
Everything I post on this blog I make from scratch using fresh wholesome ingredients.. I've been cooking since I was a little kid.
My recipes are based on trial and error, along with studying cookbooks, family recipes, blogs and cooking shows.
Some of the veggies and herbs I use are grown in my garden. Yay sustainability!
I'm working on making my yard into an edible landscape. It's really fun to go out in the garden and pick your veggies for dinner!
I'm helping as many people as I can to plant edible gardens in their yards too. It's hard work but it's really fun!
It looks so yummy :Q

It's my party and I'll ride if I want to. Next time you have a glass of something nice in your hand, raise a toast to Copenhagen.
This year - on 04 June 2008 - we can celebrate 25 years of the return of 'Copenhagen bike lanes', or "real" bike lanes as they're often called. AKA Cycle Tracks. The kind with a raised curb on the side, separating the bike lane from the traffic - and a curb on the other side separating the bike lane from the pedestrians.
For the record, there were cycle tracks prior to this, of course, with painted lines separating them from the traffic. Historically, separated cycle tracks criss-crossed Copenhagen but were largely removed during the brain fart that was the 50s and 60s where planners decided the car was a good horse to back.
The return of the physically-separated bike lanes is a landmark. The City of Copenhagen made a visonary choice in implementing them.
On June 4, 1983 the Danish Cyclists' Union, at a large bicycle demonstration, gave a "Cyclist Award" to Jens Kramer Mikkelsen in the form of a two metre long curb. Mikkelsen was the head of the traffic department and later Lord Mayor.
The curb was placed on the bike lane on Amagerbrogade at the corner of Hollænderdybet - just after Amagerboulevard - a sacred shrine for bike culture if anyone wants to start a'pilgrimage-ing.
The photo features the Cyclist Award and the two chaps who made it - stone mason Uffe Mohr [right] and his apprentice Egon Albertsen [left].

You'll spend plenty of time, one hopes, dawdling over drinks at cafes and restaurants when you explore the Mediterranean countries of Europe. Get a glimmer here of what may glimmer in your glass during one of those moments when time stands still and you just relax.
Spain produces a wide variety of wines of the highest quality with unique and distinctive flavours which vary from region to region. In the northLa Rioja is synonymous with wine. This is where our most internationally recognised wines are produced. These exquisite wines are the product of centuries of tradition; they embrace a whole culture, deeply rooted in this land of vines and wine cellars. And what could be better than to enjoy a few tapas accompanied by fino sherry? A whole way of life revolves around this wine. Come and discover it, and you'll find another way of enjoying the culture of Spain.
How many of us are addicted to Italian styles of coffee? Thank you, Italy, for espresso, ristretto, cappuccino and latte! Coffee is just one of the lifeblood beverages to enjoy "at the source" when you vacation in Italy. Sips of grappa for the bold, and sunshine drops of limoncello, the lemon liqueur, for a light, bright finish to a sumptuous meal, Campari and soda in its natural habitat – these are other drinks to have on your, er, bucket list. Then there's the wine. The Ancient Greeks called Italy "Enotria", in deference to its renown for producing extraordinary wines. It would be impossible to list all of the features of Italian wines, world famous for their variety and quality, so you'll just have to go see for yourself. All twenty of Italy's regions produce wine, and the easiest way for you to navigate this many vineyards and bottles is to take advantage of the Wine Tourism Movement, a group of people whose aim is to make Italian wine touring easy.
Malta may not be renowned like its larger Mediterranean neighbours for wine production, but Maltese vintages are more than holding their own at international competitions, winning accolades in France, Italy and further afield. International grape varieties grown on the Islands include Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Grenache, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Carignan, Chenin Blanc and Moscato. The indigenous varieties are Gellewza and Ghirghentina, which are producing some excellent wines of distinct body and flavour. Winery tours and tastings are great fun and educational, so when you actually tear yourself away from the Maltese sunshine, visit a vintner and find out about the wines of Malta.
Wash it all down in Cyprus with one of the local beers or wines; its long tradition in winemaking goes back over 4,000 years. In ancient times the island supplied the Pharaohs of Egypt and Cyprus wines were in great demand amongst the ancient Greeks and Romans. One very old sweet wine, Commandaria, is acknowledged to be one of the oldest named wines in the world, which according to legend, was originally made for Richard the Lionheart and the Crusaders. Zivania, Cyprus' famous firewater, made from highly-distilled grape juice, is almost pure alcohol and packs a neat punch. For a healthy drink try a freshly squeezed fruit juice from the plethora of fresh fruit available on the island. 'Airani' made with live yogurt is incredibly refreshing, perfect for hot summer days, while 'soumada' is a warm comforting almond drink served with hot water.
Turkey is one of the few Mediterranean countries where wine won't figure as heavily on your drinking itinerary, but other delicious drinks certainly will. You can't visit anyone, anywhere, for any length of time whatsoever without being offered coffee or tea. Black tea is popular but so are apple tea and sage tea, very calming while you're deciding which carpet to buy. When you order coffee, be sure to specify little, half or whole sugar or you'll get the maximum sweetness by default. In the wintertime, try salep, a hot milky drink made with tapioca; in the summer ayran, much like liquid yogurt, is a spectacular cooler. Boza, a fermented, malty bulgur drink has cousins throughout the Balkans. Be careful when you start in on the raki, Turkey's rather potent anise flavored spirit; you may buy one more carpet than you intended under its expansive influence.
Warm Mediterranean hospitality will linger in your memories.
The wild and woolly Atlantic rolls ashore on many coasts.
If the Alps were human, they'd be movie stars: world-famous, beautiful, charming and exciting.

Museum Quality 18th C. Memento Mori Slide
It all comes down to condition and rarity and in this treasure, you unequivocally have both! Of museum quality (and we rarely use these terms), this particular 20k yellow gold Stuart crystal slide is exceptionally scarce and features four highly coveted skulls with crossed bones. The skulls are connected by a gold vine adorned with tiny flowers and leaves covered with red and green enamel. Delicate details of fine craftsmanship are apparent in the rendering of the gold work.
Within the circular vine is a cypher of 20k yellow gold wire forming intricate initials of what appears to be the letters B, J and possibly E. A faceted rock crystal covers the meticulous composition of mementos. Of particular note is that the crystal has never been removed or disturbed thus its bezel is in superb condition. Each skull and other motifs are still crisp and fine in appearance and color. Clear and glinting, the rock crystal is also still in fine condition. This is most definitely an object for the world famous Victoria and Albert Museum.
Date: Circa 1720 – 1750.
Measurements: 3/4 inches (1.9 cm) in total length by 3/4 inches (1.9 cm) in width. Weight of 4.3 grams (2.7 dwt).
Condition: Near mint; crystal has not been out nor removed is clean and crisp with no scratching or fogginess; imagery and contents under the crystal are crisp and fine; a few minute pieces of the enamel coloration moved or cracked and are visible with a loupe; cypher is slightly off center. For its age, one of the nicest we have seen.
Origin: English.
