Darwin Day in Wisconsin
Appleton Wisconsin in February has four to five foot-tall piles of snow all over absolutely everything. I live in Texas, where it is hard to remember what color snow is. I was invited to speak here by Alexa Blumenstock, a self-motivated activist whom I have encountered in Washington, Columbus, Omaha, Memphis, Manhattan, and I don't remember where else. It was a last minute invitation during a busy period for me, but I think it all worked out OK.If I didn't know these people already, I would … [Read more...]
Cruisin' the UAE
If you read my earlier article, Hopping through Arabian Airports, then you know how little I know I about Islam or the Arab world. That's actually why I went to the United Arab Emirates. It was by invitation of a rich [compared to me] Arab who funded that trip. He is an unbeliever, an infidel illegal in that country. But that is his culture, and he wanted me to see it as he does, first-hand and unfiltered. So we planned the trip to coincide with the conference in India. Upon my return, he put me … [Read more...]
The Cow
Last week when I was in the United Arab Emirates, someone gave me a copy of The Qur'an, a new translation by M. A. S. Abdel Haleem. I've already read the Avestas of Zarathustra and the Bhagavad Gita. So it's about time I read the Qur'an as well. But I'm not having a good time with it. The first chapter, The Opening is just a few lines of a pointless prayer and that's it. There is nothing there worthy of note. The second chapter, the Cow is the longest chapter, or sura, and there is quite a lot … [Read more...]
Tentative Solution
At different points around Delhi, I saw little tent communities like this one; where people literally live on the sidewalk -but with some privacy and shelter where they can actually sleep undisturbed and go about their day, earning enough to eat at least. I saw one of these rows of tents erected along a creek, and another where they were in the center median on the freeway. I'm conflicted about that. Because while that makes the homeless situation embarrassingly obvious, what does that matter … [Read more...]
How to get pneumonia in a tropical country
When I first arrived in Delhi, I stepped out of the airport to see a blanket of fog in late afternoon. Fog is an early morning occurrence. So what's going on here? At first the locals told me that the fog never lifts because it is winter and it is cold. But I don't think 25° C / 78° F qualifies as cold. I kept asking about it, and the next few people said it wasn't fog at all, but smog.I grew up in Los Angeles in the early 1970s, before catalytic converters. So I've seen extreme levels of s … [Read more...]
Riding through Agra
To get to the World Atheist conference in Vijayawada, I had to connect in Delhi. Having never been to India, I arranged a layover. A friend who lives there hired a car to take me to Agra for the purpose of seeing the Taj Mahal. If I'm in India anyway, I may as well see that, right?When we arrived, the cabby picked up a guide. That was his idea, and I thought it was a good one, since I don't know what all there is to see there. He did show me Fort Agra, and that was impressive. But … [Read more...]
Hopping through Arabian Airports
I've heard that Qatar is one of those places where atheism carries a death sentence. We call it k'TAR, but the locals seem to call it CATTar. All I saw was Hamad Airport in Doha. It's a huge ultra-modern hub and the people are justifiably very proud of it. It tempts me to take a look beyond the veneer. If I could get out of the airport, (which my wife asked me NOT to do) will I see a contrast?The airport in Dubai was fascinating to me, because I saw numerous distinct sub-groups of … [Read more...]
Lemmy RIP
In 1982, I was all about Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath. But a few of my friends told me that I reminded them of someone else. They showed me a picture of Lemmy Kilmister, front man and bassist for speed-metal band, Motörhead. The thing is, at that moment, by sheer coincidence, I happened to be wearing the same clothes as Lemmy was in that picture, from the concert tee to the M-60 bullet belt. We even had on the same super dark black tear drop aviator sunglasses. How weird is that?I thought … [Read more...]

I really want to speed up my WordPress site (3.4.2), by using an appropriate plugin and also to get my head round using a CDN.
Now I see this plugin W3 Total Cache, and apparently it will help me do all this, but I also see forlorn enquiries like this post (now closed):
.. saying the plugin isn't being updated (I see it was last updated on 26 August 2011), and I also see what look like significant problems using it in conjunction with a CDN, like this one:
So, can anyone help me and advise me what to do? Do I need a plugin to interface with a CDN? Will a CDN deliver the speed increase on its own?
I realise this is a kind of noob question, but I'd be grateful for any pointers or links that would give me some up-to-date advice about how to speed up my kinda slow WordPress site.
Thanks in advance.

From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch:
More than 500 people flooded the Capitol rotunda Wednesday calling for more states' rights and less government.
State legislators touted their beliefs on states' rights to those gathered from across the state, the majority from the St. Louis area.
Many of the attendees said they were disheartened by the direction of the federal government and chose to become politically active at the grassroots level. They say they hope their action in local communities will encourage state and federal lawmakers to respect states' rights.
Of most importance to the rally's organizers was the issue of health care reform, which has stalled in the federal government and has caused concern for some Tenth Amendment advocates.
The rally came after lawmakers proposed two resolutions aimed at protecting states' rights and preserving health care choice, advocates said. The rally was organized by conservative groups including I Heard the People Say, Missouri Eagle Forum and the Missouri Sovereignty Project.

"TOKYO" Top 5 Page for this destination Tokyo-to by Onedragon
Tokyo-to Travel Guide: 5,349 reviews and 14,444 photos
THE JOYS OF A CITY WITH SO MUCH TO OFFER IN CULTURE AND INVENTIVE IDEAS AND FUTURE EXPLORATIONS INTO THE FASHION WORLD AND ARTS Tokyo's rise to importance can be largely attributed to two men: Tokugawa Ieyasu and Emperor Meiji. In 1603, after unifying the warring states of Japan, Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu made Edo (now Tokyo) his base. As a result, the city developed rapidly and grew to become one of the largest cities in the world with a population topping one million by the 18th century. It became the de facto capital of Japan even while the emperor lived in Kyoto, the imperial capital.
After about 263 years, the shogunate was overthrown under the banner of restoring imperial rule. In 1869, the figurehead 17-year-old Emperor Meiji moved to Edo, which was renamed "Tokyo" ("Eastern Capital") the year before. Tokyo was already the nation's political, economic, and cultural center, and the emperor's residence made it a de facto imperial capital as well with the former Edo Castle becoming the Imperial Palace. The city of Tokyo was established, and continued to be the capital until it was abolished as a municipality in 1943 and merged with the "Metropolitan Prefecture" of Tokyo.

Hi Eli, I enjoyed reading your enthusiastic tips on Tokyo. It sounds like a really vibrant place! Last year the Music Museum in Paris had a fine exhibition on John Lennon in the 1970s, but I didn't know there was a whole museum about him in Tokyo.
Hi Eli! Love your Tokyo pages! It's clear that you LOVE Tokyo! Cheers, Tracey.

Donald Trump has promised that if he is elected, he will "Make America Great Again!" Apparently, that "greatness" includes the type of torture that was rejected by many Americans when it was practiced under the last Republican president. "The Donald" wants to bring back waterboarding.
When Edward Snowden released a trove of documents in 2013 revealing the depth and breadth of NSA surveillance of Americans, the agency admitted that it previously had a program that captured information about citizens' e-mails, but claimed it had discontinued the program in 2011. Now, newly released documents shows that — par for the course — the agency was telling half the truth. The same surveillance has continued all along under a subsequent program.
Assembly of State Legislatures Changes Article V Text in Call for "Convention of States"Written by Joe Wolverton, II, J.D.
The Assembly of State Legislatures met in Salt Lake City to draft rules for an Article V convention, and changed the Article V text.
With respect to the difficult and potentially dangerous position in which Arizona Governor Ducey and the other 30 or so state executives find themselves, one wonders where in the Constitution states are required to ask the federal government's permission to exercise a power they specifically retain under the Bill of Rights, namely the power to grant or refuse permission for entry into their sovereign territory to an immigrant, no matter what label that immigrant is given by the federal government.
The battle over the legality of NSA surveillance is heating up again. Just last week, U.S. District Court Judge Richard Leon ordered the NSA to stop collecting the telephone data of a California lawyer. Without any real delay, an appeals court set that injunction aside, allowing the NSA spying program to continue unabated in its vacuuming up of data about the phone conversations of Americans.

WINTER IN THE SNOW; Sunday River's Peaks and Bowls
By JOE CUTTS
Published: November 15, 1998
TIME was, early this century, when a downcountry aristocrat with a case of frayed nerves could retreat to the wilderness of Bethel, in western Maine, to cure what ailed him. The prescription: Vigorous exercise in the outdoors, and perhaps a little golf at what is now the Bethel Inn and Country Club.
Much has changed in the little town of Bethel since then. Logging is no longer the chief employer, and its central artery, the Androscoggin River, has been very nearly cleaned up. The grand Broad Street houses built by industrious businessmen are now likely to be inhabited by prep-school teachers and second-home owners. It's still a fine retreat, but the preferred retreat time is winter, not summer, and the prescription for peace of mind is not golf, a sport that might push a fragile soul over the edge, but skiing, a big-muscle, high-adrenaline activity that can restore one's sense of well-being.
There is good skiing near Bethel, in the rugged mountains on the Maine-New Hampshire border, and the town itself, its turn-of-the-century charm preserved, has a rich character, worth exploring in the evening hours. My friend Paul and I, off on a quick boys-only getaway at the Sunday River Ski Resort, arrived in Bethel after a beautiful drive through the White Mountains. We took a quick look around, decided to return later, then headed on to the resort.
Sunday River is six or seven miles north of Bethel. It is the cornerstone and headquarters of the American Skiing Company conglomerate, whose resorts include Killington and Sugarbush in Vermont and Steamboat in Colorado. Over the past two decades, Sun River has grown tenfold, from a creaky little day area to one of New England's largest and sleekest skiing destinations: 7,000 acres, 654 of them skiable. The east end is the business end, with shuttle buses heaving about on a maze of roads connecting parking lots and condominiums and base areas. We, however, had decided to bunk at the just-opened (and, at that time, not quite completed) Jordan Grand Resort Hotel, at the far western edge.
We pointed our overloaded Audi west down a long, isolated stretch of newly built road that only grudgingly yielded views of the ski area on our left. When the Jordan Grand came into view atop a knoll, with the Jordan Bowl area behind it, we'd come so far it seemed like a separate resort. But while the Jordan Grand is now somewhat isolated, it could soon be the center of the action: there are plans to expand farther west still, well beyond it.
The hotel's wilderness setting is lovely, and its lobby, with blond beams, three-story fieldstone fireplace and vaguely arts-and-crafts decor, is rich and warm. Accommodations range from small hotel-style rooms for two to more spacious quarter-share condo units. Our room cost about $200 for one night, but came with two lift tickets, worth $94. The room was basic, with a bath and two double beds, and we wished we had asked for an end unit, since the kids next door showed little promise, in their parents' absence, of resolving an animated debate over which television channel to watch. But there was a small balcony, providing fresh air and broad northward views of the mountains.
The real beauty of our ski-in, ski-out accommodations became evident in the morning. Not 10 minutes after pulling shut the door of our room, we were sliding into the short lift line at the Jordan Bowl detachable quad, and 6 minutes later we were at the resort's highest peak, tightening the buckles of our ski boots.
The top of the Jordan lift affords the best view, and a good chance to get oriented. The morning sunlight slanted in low, clean and cold as a friendly ski patroller discussed points of interest in his broad Maine accent. Less than 30 miles to the southwest, Mount Washington and the rest of the Presidential Range serrate the horizon. And the Appalachian Trail runs along a high ridge to the northwest, laboring over Old Speck, the highest peak in the area, at 4,180 feet.
Then our patroller pointed eastward, to the far end of the area, where the top of the White Cap lift was visible some three miles away. ''Getting there's easy,'' he explained. From where we stood, you can make an uninterrupted three-and-a-half-mile run all the way across the resort to the bottom of White Cap. Getting back is more difficult, requiring two chairlift rides and the good part of an hour.
BUT that is one of the pleasures of Sunday River. It sprawls across so many peaks and bowls that you have the feeling of having used your skis as a method of transportation, of having been somewhere. It's not quite the European experience of touring from village to village -- even country to country -- but there's a sense of adventure nonetheless.
We pushed off down Lollapalooza, a wide, friendly beginner trail, and warmed up with long arcs. The Sunday River trail map bristles menacingly with black diamonds (slopes for experts only), but the majority of the terrain is fairly manageable. In fact, the resort is an advanced-intermediate's paradise. With a modest set of skills, the whole mountain is yours, with the exception of a few sinister pitches.

Professional Lacrosse Is Coming—Or Is it?
Professional lacrosse may have taken one step closer Tuesday to becoming a bona fide spectator sport in medium-sized towns across the northeast.
Or maybe not—it's a little too early to tell.
In a slightly disjointed press conference at The Ainsworth, a trendy sports bar in Chelsea, a group of sports officials and professional lacrosse players announced the formation of an organization called the North American Lacrosse League.
The organization's backers said the league would be comprised of at least six teams of about 17 players each and planned to start playing games in January.
Phil Evans, the league's inaugural commissioner, who is the former president of the NBA Development League, called it "a big day for lacrosse generally and a big day for professional lacrosse in particular."
Oddly, many of the details of the league, such as where the teams would be located and who has purchased franchises, were not divulged. Evans said those details would be released sometime in June.
There was no mention of a team in New York City.
What he would say is that the league will be headquartered in Somerville, N.J., and that it is now selling expansion teams for $250,000 a pop. Evans also suggested the league would focus on putting teams in smaller cities that don't already have professional lacrosse teams.
The upstart league doesn't seem to be trying to overtake the sport's two existing leagues. Major League Lacrosse, which features six professional teams and is played outdoors starting in May, has been hosting games since 2001. The new league will share calendar space with the National Lacrosse League, which has 10 teams and the stronger attendance of the two (its championship game this weekend will be televised on Versus on Sunday at 2 p.m.)
George Daniel, commissioner of the National Lacrosse League, said he welcomed the new league but doesn't see it as a competitor. He said he believes the league will launch in smaller markets and pay players less. He said he thought this league could eventually become a sort of feeder system for his teams.
Evans stressed that his organization isn't competing with anyone. He said it was largely an effort to make lacrosse more popular with kids. The NLL, he says, has done a "phenomenal job" over the past 25 years of promoting the game. "But the reality is they're only in seven markets in the United States. Their rosters aren't comprised of many American players."
Evans noted that only about 19% of that league's players are Americans. "For us, that's where we see the opportunity."
There's no question the sport is popular on the recreational level. According to a Sporting Goods Manufacturers Association report, it's one of the nation's fastest-growing sports.
The broader question, of course, is whether lacrosse is the sort of thing scads of people will pay to watch in medium-sized northeastern cities in the dead of winter.
Write to Chris Herring at email@example.com
Corrections & Amplifications:
Commissioner Phil Evans of the newly formed North American Lacrosse League didn't say where that league will place its teams. An earlier version of this article incorrectly said there would be teams in Albany and Wilkes-Barre, Pa.

Writing, Ethics, and Aesthetics
October 14-15, 2016
IMAGER/Université Paris-Est Créteil
The concept of evil is age old, but the way it manifests in cultural narratives has continuously shifted. From the theological to the psychological, evil is a core theme of tales across the ages. What does the way it is portrayed tell us? Does it still hold as much significance? This one day conference at the University of Southampton will explore representations of evil in its many guises. Papers from across disciplines are welcomed. Suggestions for topics include (but by no means are limited to):
•Physical representations of evil
•The changing role of evil in narratives
•Blurred lines between good and evil
•The celebration of evil
•History of evil
•Evil protagonists and their stories
Journal for Cultural and Religious Theory
Topic: Civic Humanities
This is a call for a proposed panel, which will explore new approaches to the study of the existentialist and absurdist movements in the 20th century. We invite proposals for papers that rethink these movements in light of recent scholarship related to gender, race, ecology, transnationalism, and immigration. We welcome papers that rethink issues at the heart of these two movements: the category of the Other, the search for meaning in the world and its environment, freedom and oppression, the political and the private. We are also interested in how these movements have been in dialogue with each other.
The section on Politics, Civic Life, and Culture for the 2016 Northeast Popular Culture Association (NEPCA) conference is now accepting paper proposals from faculty and graduate students (jointly authored papers with advanced undergraduates are also welcome).This year, NEPCA's annual fall conference will be held on the campus of Keene State University in Keene, NH during the weekend of October 21-22, 2016. For more information, please visit the NEPCA website: https://nepca.wordpress.com/2016-conference/

Please see our mission statement below and the link to our site with full submission guidelines.
About Us
Sport operates as a social and cultural institution that allows for hegemonic ideals about masculinity to be preserved and reproduced. Moreover, these ideals have historically been decidedly white and heteronormative. However, sport is also a contested terrain where the battle for the maintenance and redistribution of power and privilege is constantly being waged, won, and lost. The black athlete, then, is always/already linked to the questions of race, gender, sexuality, sport, and power.

Proposals related to the podcast Welcome to Night Vale are solicited for chapter contributions to an edited scholarly collection to be published by Palgrave.
The editor seeks to include a range of approaches focusing on both form and content. Topics may include but are not limited to:
• internal themes and allusions
• genre and influences

• politics and historical contextualization
• podcast production, distribution, and consumption
• reception and fandom
• paratexts, marketing, and merchandise
In recent years, critics, teachers, editors, authors, and readers have all argued that children's and Young Adult literature must be more diverse. In fact, there are numerous blogs and websites, including "We Need Diverse Books," "Diversity in YA," "Latin@s in Kid Lit," "Rich in Color," and "I'm Here. I'm Queer. What the Hell Do I Read?," among others, devoted to promoting diversity in children's and YA lit. As such blogs and websites along with numerous surveys show, there is a dearth of diverse characters and diverse writers in this literature. This dearth promotes, whether intentionally or not, the idea that whiteness is normal and that the unearned privilege that comes with being white is, as well.

Recently, my friend's PC came to a grinding halt. It was quite messy and the system was full of cruft so I decided to do a clean XP Professional install. The system is a Turion64-based HP laptop (Pavillon dv5000) and is a few years old. The original symptoms were extreme sluggishness and constant swapping, which I assumed was probably due to some malware and a few (useless) AV programs running at the same time.
I did a clean install and as I expected, it all went away. It worked all righ for about a month and suddenly it all came back. No new software was installed between then and now, the system was protected by Avast, it was pretty much just used for Word. Now it takes forever to boot, most operations take a long time, for example copying a file from a flash drive to disk makes the CPU jump to 100% with the disk thrashing constantly. The same happens when playing some video from YT in Firefox. I tried investigating with Process Explorer but it turns out that in such situations, 100% of the CPU is consumed by "Hardware Interrupts and DPCs". I've no idea how to work with that. I'd be most grateful for any suggestions. I'll probably have to reinstall XP again but I have no guarantee this won't happen again so I'm quite demotivated as you might imagine.

- An ISBN is the 10 or 13 digit number, usually printed on the back of a book with a bar code, that serves as a unique identifier for the book.
- Searching by ISBN is the best way to search because it will get you the exact title and edition that you need.
- Many professors include the ISBN on their syllabi or in their course management system.
If you don't have the ISBN, try a title or author search.
Title search
- Enter all words in the title you are looking for. The search engine will try to find books that have all the words you entered in the title. Leave out words such as "a," "an," or "the."
- When including edition, use numeric values. For example, "1st edition" instead of "first edition."
Author search
- Enter all or part of the author name you are looking for.
- You do not need to enter a first name, but if there are a lot of books by authors with the same last name, it may help to narrow the results.
- You can enter the name in any order such as "John Smith" or "Smith John." Avoid using a comma since it has a special meaning in the search.
Keyword search
- You can search by keyword but this approach is not recommended as it will likely return a large set of results.
- If you want to search by keyword, try a combination of author and keyword. For example, "Warren Accounting" where "Warren" is the author and "Accounting" is the keyword.
To refine your results, use the filtering/sorting options
- Filter options include product type and discipline area. Sort options include alphabetical sort (ascending or descending) and copyright year (ascending or descending).

WASHINGTON (AP) -- This Sunday is the 16th annual International
Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church.
Christians in the U.S. and other nations will intercede for their fellow believers who are being imprisoned, tortured and even killed for their faith in Jesus Christ.
Jonathan Racho of International Christian Concern notes that the
Bible exhorts Christians to "Remember those in prison as if you
were their fellow prisoners, and those who are mistreated as if you
yourselves were suffering."
Racho, who monitors persecution in Africa and South Asia, says the first thing oppressed Christians there ask him for is not money, but prayer support.
He notes that in the earliest days of the church, the apostle Peter was miraculously freed from prison when Christians prayed for him.

On the Study Tours we pack into three days as much as possible of what took us many years to learn. Perhaps it's not surprising that people sometimes look a bit shell-shocked by the end of the tour as it can be quite hard to take it in. Feedback is always welcome, and happily it usually demonstrates very well that participants on the tour have understood what they saw. Today we were lucky enough to receive feedback from two different people.
Michel from Norway sent us this wonderful video made by Ingvild Stensrud and Herman Andreassen, two of the Norwegian students who came on a tour in March. I don't understand Norwegian, and there are no English subtitles, but it's a very watchable video which demonstrates much of what they saw on the tour:
The second item came from Claire Prospert of the Newcastle Cycling Campaign. Claire has written a wonderful and detailed blog-post for the Cycling Embassy of Great Britain which is both a review of the tour in May as well as being extremely thorough and informative in itself. Please read her post.
The following video is one of several shot on the tour which you can find on Claire's youtube channel. This video catches the first thing that everyone saw on the the first day, before the tour had even started - the full spectrum of Dutch cycling from a velomobile to a school trip heading out of the city went by right outside the door of the accommodation on a street which used to be the main route for cars into Assen from the South but now is a much more friendly space:
During the May Study Tour we came across three different groups of children from three different schools. While it would be quite exceptional elsewhere, this isn't an unusual sight at all in the Netherlands (read other blog posts about school trips by bike). This brings us back to what is one of the most important things with regard to campaigning for a high cycling modal share: you have to start with children, and indeed that is what the Dutch did.
Why come on a tour ?
Our blog, as well as others that we link to on the right, go to some effort to explain how things work in the Netherlands. There are also books on the subject, and many people refer to Google Maps. All of these things give an impression, however there is really no substitute for seeing it yourself.
When in the Netherlands, there is much to see, and it is very easy it is to miss things or to misunderstand the context or usage. I know from personal experience that on first visiting the country it is easy to ride past important infrastructure without noticing it at all - the ease of cycling in the Netherlands makes it very easy to take the reason for that ease for granted. What's more, very few Dutch people who have "always" been surrounded by the infrastructure realise that it is exceptional. People's memories are short and they don't necessarily recall how things used to be.
For these reasons, it is helpful to be on a tour which specifically takes in so many interesting features as possible, and on which there are explanations of why these things are interesting. Because you benefit from our years of experience on a three day tour, this saves a lot of time. We're native English speakers and understand the different contexts of cycling in both English speaking countries and the Netherlands. This is what is unique about our study tours and why people find them to be so informative.

Central reservations enable cyclists and pedestrians to cross safely
Of course, such a reservation needs to be adequate in size. The crossing shown above, in a residential area in Assen by the local shops, allows two cyclists travelling in each direction to pass each other, and is long enough for a bicycle with trailer to stop safely in the middle. it also has a completely separate crossing for pedestrians, and of course both the cycle and pedestrian paths on both sides of the street. The speed limit for cars is 50 km/h (30 mph).
Here is another view of the crossing:
Open in Google Maps - note that cyclists don't suffer from a "pinch" effect due to cars because there are separate cycle-paths either side of the crossing.
|When we first moved to Assen, there
was no central reservation at this
crossing. Image from a leaflet
explaining the change
However, that this is very common doesn't imply that such crossings have existed forever. Actually, this one was retrofitted quite recently.
|Back of the same leaflet
explaining what was
being done to improve
safety. Particularly
aimed at school children
The requirement that motorists have to swerve could be dangerous to cyclists due to a pinching effect if cyclists were on the street but because there are parallel cycle-paths on both sides of the street there is no danger at all.
See also videos showing the same crossing in use by hundreds of school children.
This can be seen as something which is easily "lost in translation" when implemented elsewhere because while the same concept might appear elsewhere, the implementation is completely different. For example, here's the same concept as implemented in Cambridge, UK:
|Crossing of Madingley Road in Cambridge, UK. This is one of several roads in Cambridge which are unpleasant to cycle along and which can be difficult to cross safely by bicycle. We used to do this with our children, but this made us very much the exception as most people would not see this as a safe thing to do with their children. It's important for campaigners to realise that they are part of a self-selected group. Conditions like this are a reason why keen cyclists stop when they have children.
What's more, the speed limit here is much higher than that of the Assen example, at 40 mph (64 km/h) and this is a major arterial road into Cambridge so there are usually far more cars driving here than you find at the equivalent looking crossing in Assen.
When we crossed at this point with our children it was difficult to accompany them and cross the road safely. What's more, when I pulled a child trailer across this junction it didn't fit, so I had to make the crossing in one step.
It's an example of something extremely inadequate being installed in completely the wrong situation. The closest equivalents we have in Assen would be this or this.
Another view of the crossing of Madingley Road. It's similar to Huntingdon Road a little further North and many other roads in and around Cambridge. These are part of the reason why Cambridge's cycling is limited to a demographic group. View Larger Map
If your only reference to good infrastructure design comes from books, websites and looking at Google Maps, then it is very easy to misinterpret what is seen on the ground in the Netherlands. This is why it is important that planners from English speaking countries should see for themselves what good infrastructure actually looks like, and see it in the country which has the best standards. Referring only to what is in, for example, the UK can only result in copying from bad examples. It is to try to help to prevent this problem that we organise study tours.
See other examples of ideas "lost in translation", enabling of crossing the road, and perhaps most important, examples of what works in the Netherlands.

Reducing speeds in villages. Britain vs. The Netherlands
View Larger Map
When we were in Britain last October we drove from one of our parents to the other. It was an interesting experience being back on Britain's roads and making a long journey by car. One of the things we especially noticed after our absence from Britain's roads was how attempts had been made to limit speeds on roads through villages, but that they were inadequate. Speeds remained too high, and conditions for cyclists and pedestrians remained unpleasant.
The example above is of the A153 entering the village of Coningsby in Lincolnshire, and that's the example I'll use in this blog post. There are hundreds of villages along similar roads in the UK. but this is the one by which I stopped and took some photos:
The A153 has no parallel cycle or pedestrian path. Anyone who wants to travel the 4.5 miles between the next village, Mareham-le-Fen and this one has to use the road. Many journeys are made between villages separated by this sort of distance in order to shop, use sport facilities, go to school or to commute. Coningsby is a desirable destination from Mareham because there are more shops and other facilities in this larger village. However, because cycling along here means being overtaken by vehicles travelling at 100 km/h, very few people would consider it. We stopped for several minutes to take these photos and no cyclists or pedestrians were seen. Everyone who was making this journey made it by car, van or truck.
This design of road, and this design of traffic calming, is lethal. What's more, given the high speeds that remain through the village, it doesn't even result in particularly pleasant conditions for those who live there.
The reason why this particular feature of the road grabbed my attention was that a few days previously I'd pointed out something very similar in concept to the study tour group from Vilnius when they visited us in Assen.
If you had heard only a description of these two roads and not seen the physical reality then they would probably sound like almost the same thing. However, they are not the same in practice. Here is the "equivalent" traffic calming design in Assen:
Grotere kaart weergweven
The Witterhoofdweg has a speed limit of 60 km/h ( 37 mph ) before the signs and 30 km/h ( 18 mph ) through the village. This is the speed limit through most villages in this area. A third of the Dutch road network now has a speed limit of 30 km/h or lower.
The central reservation is much larger than the British example and requires drivers to change course quite dramatically as they drive around it. You couldn't drive through here at the speeds at which drivers in Britain routinely enter Coningsby.
subjective and actual safety right through this village and out the other side.
Written descriptions of these two traffic calming devices would sound the same. However, in reality they are different. Aerial views of both traffic calming features to the same scale:
Coningsby. The signs are above the top of this view, the central reservation is just behind the truck. No need to divert at all while driving through here. While there is space for a cycle-path, none has been built - View Larger Map
Witten. The signs are very close to the central reservation (see shadows to the right), motorists have to divert from a straight line to cross this point. Cycle-paths lead in all directions, all separated from the road, some by a considerable distance - Grotere kaart weergeven
Now I expect some readers to point out that the A153 is a larger more strategic road than the Witterhoofdweg. They'd be right of course. But larger roads in the Netherlands have rather more care taken to preserve the rights of cyclists and pedestrians to go about their everyday business in peace, not less. A traffic calming feature like this simply has no place on a busy road like the A153.
In Britain, the same ideas have been used as in the Netherlands, but they are often applied in a much weaker way, and often in staggeringly inappropriate places. That is what the blog posts tagged "lost in translation" show.

Cycle-paths of Drenthe - 98% good, 2% being repaired
Another item from our local TV station: Two months ago, I wrote about how the cycle-paths of Drenthe were being tested for quality. The results are now in.
|There are currently a lot of storks
nesting in Drenthe
|Some of the flowers are out already
It has to be taken seriously because recreational cycling is worth €670 million each year to the province. The attractions of the province are well known to the Dutch and Germans and almost all of this us due to Dutch and German visitors.
|Judy riding through an area of heath
While The video description gives a figure of 2300 km of cycle-path in Drenthe, a spokesman in the video talks of 1700 km. He's asking for rural cycle-paths which are looked after by 12 different rural councils and maintained to 12 different standards to be unified under one responsible agency so that they will be consistent in future. The difference between 2300 and 1700, or 600 km, is just about the same as the total length of cycle-path in the two cities of Assen and Emmen combined.
All photos were taken by Judy and I last week when we were planning routes for this years' holiday customers

Liz was very nice and very helpfull as was the male person on Saturday and Sunday very plesent experence
maybe the black spider in my bed.
Local shops
Lack of a window
Loved Angie. She was so helpful. We were originally placed in a room near the elevator (which was under construction). She helped us move (and because we were in a hurry and needed to leave the property quickly, she even moved our belongings and luggage for us). we came back to a new room with all our things nicely laid out and very nice gift with a note to apologize for the original inconvenience. Very kind and professional.
We called the desk at 2:30 am more than 5 times and no answer. Night staff could use some help staying more alert.
Good location and easy to get to most places in Hobart.
Comfortable bed, fridge in room, flat screen tv.
100mb of free internet
Breakfast (additional charge) on first floor was a convenient hot buffet with many options.
No safe in room.
Elevators/lifts are under renovation (as of Feb 2016). Only one was operational which meant it took a long time. Stairs were a much better option.
100mb of free internet goes pretty quickly
The location and the wonderful views of the Derwent River. Good and safe place to stay in Hobart for a solo traveller. Access to the Casino and late night opening of facilities. Staff welcoming and well trained.Cabs available at door.
Some of the food outlets not up to a 5* standard. Overpricing of some hotel facilities. Facilities a bit dated. Tv needs to be updated. Rooms could be modernised a bit.
the location of the hotel was excellent
the decor of the hotel needed updating, it had an 80's feel to it and the room was not very inviting
Our booking was incomplete upon our arrival but, with a little time, our concerns were professionally handled and as a result we had an extremely comfortable stay.
The hotel was lovely. Nice and central to all the events going on over the weekend and the city centre for shopping. The pool was lovely and In can't wait to stay again! The complimentary newspaper at the door when I woke was a nice touch as well.
Lovely view of the city at nght
Motel is very hard to get to if you dont know the area
the bed was very comfortable... king size.. nice sleep.. easy check in and out, very friendly hotelier
there were no face washers and couldnt get the tv and set top box working, mouldy shower mat
other than the free breakfast, there was nothing good
the whole place looked dodgy. the room has a musky smell. the pillows if you look inside is all yellow, old and dirty. the lighting wasnt good. the receptionist had no idea how the wireless internet works. and there was a housefly in the room! what you see on the photos is not what you get.
very good breakfast

Re: Advice on NFCU re-fi
My FICO was 709...they sent me a notice in the mail showing who they pulled and the score, which is a first for me on an approval!! I went with 1.99% for 72 months. I kept meaning to close my account with them since there's not a branch near me and I rarely utilized the account...sure glad I didnt! Their rates beat my local CU and the dealer by far!! Good luck with your re-fi!!

Just done but maybe not in this way. So very good idea for me.
Shame they didn't add the option to subscribe or anything. Has more potential. Nonetheless, brilliant use of tools.
after taking your recommendation, i just returned from a trip around the internet (don't say i never do anything for you.) what i have learned is that for someone to happen upon this campaign... they first need to google the name of the campaign.
i am not sure this really qualifies as advertising. while the execution is nice, it is no different than having an informational website were ads or the media can point interested parties to.
#the one above me
I'm sorry if it turns to spam, but now take your trip to twitter you must young skywalker, and learn about the power of social media and sharing.
go on, take another trip! :)
(besides that every major blog that i came across wrote about it, such as mashable, business insider and even peretz hilton lol)
It most definitely has an impact on me. It's beyond my understanding how can someone chose the self destruction path, drugs are messing thousands of lives and the number is growing despite all the information we have to stay warned against them.

Bob Harig (3:00 PM)
Hello, checking in from the Players Championship, where Vijay Singh dropped a stunner today. There is a big golf tournament beginning tomorrow, of course. I'll try to get to as many questions as I can.. Please feel free to fire away.
Bob (Seattle)
Seriously Vijay? Suing the tour?
Bob Harig (3:01 PM)
A bit strange. The tour is the one who did not discipline him.
What is it about The Players that has befuddled Tiger so much? Is it that the course historically has taken away his length advantage with the need for players to hit a lot of non-drivers off the tee?
Bob Harig (3:03 PM)
There is a lot of trouble on this course, with no bail out areas. There are hazards on a lot of holes, on both sides of the fairways. Don't think it's so much about the driver. He would do just fine hitting long irons off tees.
Patrick (Hanover)
WE are at the 10 year anniversary of DL III 64 in the final round to win his 2nd Players. Where would you rank that round in recent memory. I think it has be to up there. Stage, Round, conditions were terrible etc. Your thoughts!
Bob Harig (3:04 PM)
It was certainly a great moment for him, one of the great moments in the tournament's history. To shoot that score on a tough day was impressive.
That was a tough loss for Phil in Charlotte. Do you see him attaining his stated goal of 50 tour wins?
Bob Harig (3:05 PM)
I think it's going to be tough, frankly. He has't won more than once a year since 2009. He's going to start needing to win multiple tournaments a year.
ben (seattle)
why is there a longer break between the masters and the US Open then between the rest of the majors
Bob Harig (3:07 PM)
The other majors are played during the height of summer with full fields. The Masters has a small field, and per its own tradition, always played in April. U.S. Open chooses to play on longest days of the year.
ben (seattle)
if you were a fan that could go to one major that wasn't the masters which would you attend
Bob Harig (3:09 PM)
British Open, no question. The history and uniqueness of the courses make it great.
Tom (Verona, WI)
How is the PGA Tour funded? TV revenue?
Bob Harig (3:10 PM)
That is one of the ways. The tour has rights fees with multiple network TV partners as well as worldwide partners. It also sells licensing agreements, sponsorships. It owns property, including the TPC network of courses. It sells merchandise.
Nemes (P-Town)
Any update on Anthony Kim?
Bob Harig (3:10 PM)
He is still out with an Achilles injury we are told.
Griffin (NY)
What do people think of TPC Sawgrass? Like it, hate it? Could it host a major if the Players wasn't played there?
Bob Harig (3:11 PM)
It gets mixed reviews. I don't think most players love it. They respect it, have come to appreciate it. I would think the PGA Championship could be played here if there were no Players, although August weather in Jax would be an issue.
Karl (San Diego)
Not very familiar with PGA rules really, but is there a rule that prohibits players from wearing golf shorts on the course? And if so, why? Seems a bit ridiculous, especially when it's summer and 100 degrees.
Bob Harig (3:12 PM)
Yes. They are required to wear long pants. It is an image issue
joe (philly)
when is a tournament considered closed. All of these phone ins for rules violations have occurred on Friday or Sat. What if it was Sunday and someone with too much time on their hands taped the telecast and watched on Monday.
Bob Harig (3:13 PM)
The tournament is closed basically when the tournament trophy is handed out on Sunday night. On Monday -- even late Sunday -- it is too late.
Ben (Davenport)
Is May the best month of golf now. WF, Players, and Memorial? Is it even close?
Bob Harig (3:14 PM)
It's a great month for golf, no doubt.
Andy (Huntington)
How many times does Tiger hit driver this week? Wouldn't this be a good course to leave it in the lockers?
Bob Harig (3:15 PM)
My guess is no more than 4 or 5 times a round. Probably a few of the par-5s, maybe 1 or 2 other par-4s depending on circumstnaces, wind, etc.
Nemes (P-Town)
Why is Augusta National closed during the summer months, peak golf weather conditions?
Bob Harig (3:15 PM)
It was established as a winter club and they have chosen to maintain that tradition
Ben (Davenport)
Is Sawgrass the most difficult regular rotation PGA Tour course?
Bob Harig (3:17 PM)
It very well might be. PGA National for Honda often plays quite tough. Firestone can be -- although has not been that tough recently.
Nemes (P-Town)
How many more years until we label Ryo Ishikawa a flop?
Bob Harig (3:18 PM)
Not sure you can ever say that. He has 10-something wins in Japan, most of them before age 20. I know it's not the PGA Tour, but that is still impressive. It would be nice if he could get going on a bigger stage.
Don (Berkeley, CA)
Would Jack Nicklaus or Arnold Palmer have received a call from a televison viewer pointing out a rules violaton? Or is this is a case of Tiger Woods receiving "special" scrutiny/attention from officials and the viewing public? Has something like that every happened before?
Bob Harig (3:19 PM)
Sergio Garcia had a phoned in possible violation last week. It happens a lot and has been happening for years. In Tiger's case, this actually helped save him from disqualificaiton.
Andy (Huntington)
Is the Players the best tournament to win other than the Masters due to exemptions? Only ranking the Masters ahead of it due to the lifetime exemption to play in it.
Bob Harig (3:20 PM)
PGA Championship also gets you in for life
To get the most competitive US Open, what weather conditions should we be rooting for at Merion?
Bob Harig (3:20 PM)
Dry and fast. The greens need to be hard. Soft conditions will make it place easy, because the course is also quite short.
Tom (Verona, WI)
How has Sneds done at the Players Championship? Would you be surprised if he doesn't make the cut?
Bob Harig (3:22 PM)
In 5 appearances, he's made only 1 cut and missed 4 in a row.
Tony (Richmond, CA)
How many majors does Tiger win this season?
Bob Harig (3:23 PM)
I am going with 1 major, at the British Open.
Andy (Huntington)
Any comments for the folks that claimed "golf lost its integrity" after the Tiger ruling. I haven't seen much intentional cheating since then. Turns out golfers don't like 2 shot penalties that effectively knock them out of tournaments very much. In retrospect, do you agree that the golf world waaaaay overreacted to the Tiger ruling?
Bob Harig (3:24 PM)
No question there was a rush to judgement. If you go by the idea that the Masters folks failed to talk to Tiger about a possible violation, they couldn't very well disqualify him after the fact.
Shosheak (the couch)
Bob, it could be argued that phone is saved Tiger from DQ, but it's also true nobody at the course noticed the illegal drop. So if rules stuff is limited to officials etc, it's also possible he never gets the penalty
Bob Harig (3:28 PM)
Apparently nobody at the course did see the illegal drop. But if Tiger makes those comments after the round without any previous ruling, he would have been DQ'd
Ben (Davenport)
I know it's early, but the Ryo question made me think of something. Is Merion, a relatively short course, the best bet for a Manassero major?
Bob Harig (3:29 PM)
Could be. A player is going to have to hit it in the fairway to give himself a lot of chances, especially on the first 13 holes where there will likely be a lot of short irons in.
Andy (Huntington)
My biggest takeaway from the Tiger ruling was that I felt there were numerous commentators that very unfairly and very publicly claimed "they would have withdrawn." Do they really know how they would have reacted under those exact circumstances and after numerous rules officials opined that DQ was not appropriate? They don't know how they would have reacted. They commented before they even knew the story. Also, the irony, was that Tiger's honesty drew the penalty. If he doesn't say anything, he never draws a penalty.
Bob Harig (3:29 PM)
To say he should have withdrawn was hugely unfair. Had he done that, he likely would have been criticized for being a bad sport, getting mad at the 2-shot penalty.
Andy (Huntington)
I think calling Merion short is a little confusing. There certainly are 4-5 short par 4's and there is one shockingly short par 3, but there are some brutally long holes to off-set the short ones.
Bob Harig (3:30 PM)
Yes, but it measures under 7,000 yards. That's short by today's standards.
Nemes (P-Town)
Why not have a rules official with every group (or at least one per hole so there is less wait)?
Bob Harig (3:31 PM)
It's logistics and money.. And just because there is an official doesn't mean he will see everything
Derrin (Plano, TX)
Does Tiger need to win two majors this year if he's going to catch Jack Nicklaus?
Bob Harig (3:31 PM)
Not necessarily. Jack didn't win his 15th major until he was 38 at the 1978 British. And won three majors in his 40s.
Tom (Verona, WI)
Adam Scott, Rory McIlroy, and Steve Stricker are grouped together. All could be in contention on Sunday. It seems like it's a nice advantage to play in a strong group.
Bob Harig (3:32 PM)
Lots of nice groups like that here this week.
QBert (San Jose)
"They are required to wear long pants. It is an image issue" - HAHAHA, good one! No such restriction on the LPGA tour, but with some of these guys it's understandable.
Bob Harig (3:32 PM)
Yes, they simply don't like how shorts look, even in th eheat.
Nemes (P-Town)
What happened to Paul Casey? Haven't heard much about him lately.
Bob Harig (3:32 PM)
He suffered an injury in late 2011 and was slow to recover. He lost his PGA Tour card and is playing mostly in Europe.
ben (seattle)
all these phone in rule violations makes me want to know, who does someone call to report a rules violation? is there an 800 number or something
Bob Harig (3:33 PM)
People call the course and their issues are typically relayed to the rules people
ben (seattle)
who huge is it for golf in the northwest to have the US Open coming to Chambers in 2015??
Bob Harig (3:34 PM)
Very.. A shame majors don't go there more often.
Ben (Davenport)
How does Rory do this weekend?
Bob Harig (3:34 PM)
He's never made the cut here. I think that changes.
Andy (Huntington)
Exactly. He was damned if he did and damned if he didn't after the drop. Not DQing him was actually the toughest decision for all parties in the long run.
Bob Harig (3:35 PM)
Well, in there mind it wasn't a tough decision. You have to go back to what happened on Friday afternoon. They got word that he might have committed a violation. They hastily reviewed it .. and then didn't speak to him about it. They should have at least asked Tiger to look at it, then they could have all made a final call on it. Once he signed his card were there they to then go back to him and say, guess what, we looked at it yesterday and there was no penalty, but now there is.. and you're disqualified?
Andy (Syracuse)
I'm wondering if since this has become more famous, the courses are going to get innundated with calls, and eventually, PGA is going to put an end to it.
Bob Harig (3:36 PM)
I doubt they'll put an end to it. That would be going against the rules of golf, which allow for these things to occur. And this has been happening for years.
Tom (Verona, WI)
Now if you're in a restaurant would you recognize Derek Ernst?
Bob Harig (3:37 PM)
I wouldn't.
Andy (Huntington)
I read a great Curtis Strange quote before the Masters. It was something like "I don't root much for players, but we need Tiger to get to 17; once he gets to 17, every single major is going to have a Super Bowl type feel." I thought that was a great take.
Bob Harig (3:38 PM)
It is a great take. Golf would be huge at every single major he plays, even more so than now.
Harrison (New York)
I'll take Graeme McDowell for the Players Championship win.
Bob Harig (3:39 PM)
Good choice. I would not be surprised.
Andy (Huntington)
I agree with your analysis about the drop. I just think the easy way out from a media standpoint (with the benefit of hindsight) was a DQ for Tiger, Augusta, and the rules folks. They did the right thing, not the easy thing. Not sure why folks can't accept it.
Bob Harig (3:39 PM)
I was good with the decision. But a reason why many can't accept it is this:Typically, you are responsible for your card. Ignorance not an excuse. He committed a penalty and dind't add the strokes to his scorecard. That almost always leads to disqualification.
Tim (Scotland)
R&A has issued slow play penalties at the Amateur Championship and the Boys Championship and have stated they are keeping to a strict timetable for the Open. Over under on the amount of slow play penalties given out at Murfield: 2
Bob Harig (3:40 PM)
I'll take the under. Would be shocked if they actually followed through.
Shosheak (the couch)
John Daly tweeted to Vijay it was a bad idea, when even Daly is telling you it's a bad idea, isn't it time to re-evaluate your strategy?
Bob Harig (3:42 PM)
Not sure why Vijay is doing this. Biting that hand that feeds .The tour followed its owon drug policy protocol. Vijay is a member of the tour. Those are the rules. Stunning.
Shosheak (the couch)
I can't decide if TPC Sawgrass is a great course because any type of player can win, or a terrible course because it doesn't seem to reward the more talented players
Bob Harig (3:42 PM)
It's a mystery in that regard.
Shosheak (the couch)
The reason many can't accept the decision is a) many had decided by Sat AM that Tiger had to be DQ'd and b) therefore they went with the if it wasn't Tiger it would have been a DQ'd thing (without really looking at history)
Bob Harig (3:43 PM)
There is very little history for 33-7. It's more about looking at what was the right thing. They in essence made a ruling and didn't tell him -- then changed their minds after he signed his card. Ultimately, the penalty for a poor drop is 2 shots -- which is what he got.
Andy (Syracuse)
Am I alone in thinking Tiger is going to break the record by winning at least 3 more British Open's? Everyone seems to think he will win more Masters', but I don't agree. Unless the weather is horrible in the Open, he seems to have the perfect game for them.
Bob Harig (3:44 PM)
You would think so the British would be great for him for a long time. He'll get two more shots at St. Andrews before he turns 45. Next yeat is Liverpool where he has won. He should be solid this year at Muirfield.
Andy (Huntington)
Has the tour ever thought about taking some of the "quirkiness" out of Sawgrass to please a few more of the elite players?
Bob Harig (3:45 PM)
Not sure how you could do that without taking away the character of the design.
Shosheak (the couch)
Their is some history with 33-7, their is even more history of the Masters going maybe even out of it's way to not hit players with penalties: Rory, Ernie, Arnie etc
Bob Harig (3:48 PM)
The history with 33-7 is rare, very rare. And it is true there have been some favorable rules for players over the years at the Masters. Ernie's in 2004 was a very fortunate break. But that was a case of the rules official on the spot giving him a ruling Rory was after the fact and he would have been DQ'd.
Keith H (Seattle)
Maybe one of the "quirks" about Sawgrass is while it doesn't reward a certain type of player, whoever wins will on point in all departments of their game that week.
Bob Harig (3:51 PM)
I think there is something to do this. You have to drive it in play, you better hit a lot of greens ,and you're short game needs to be sharp from some quirky areas if you miss a green.
Chad (Virginia)
Where do you have Tiger finishing this week? And What do you have his 2013 win total at?
Bob Harig (3:54 PM)
I'm going to say top 10, but not contending. And I say he wins 6 tournaments total -- 3 more wins.
Bob Harig (3:55 PM)
Nothing specific, there are lots of places in and around Jax beach, however.
Bob Harig (3:56 PM)
No! Not even close.
Chris (Chicago)
Has Tiger been up to Merion yet? If not, when will he...
Bob Harig (3:57 PM)
Don't believe he has. He'll have some time after this tournament prior to the Memorial and might go the week prior as well.
Bob Harig (3:58 PM)
Okay folks, I'm out of time. Thanks for the questions. Appreciate the support. Feel free to follow me on Twitter @bobharig where I'll answer questions and try to provide a few timely updates from the Players Championship. Enjoy
