This article represents what is known about Volvo 1800's and the Saint but if any reader has further information or locations of other cars used, the author would be very pleased to receive details. Thanks go to Peter Nelson, Kevin Price and Mike Stanton for assisting with information for this article, while reference was also made to Burl Barer's Saint history.
It was during the spring of 1965 that I bought my first Volvo P 1800. It was 3½ inches long and cost 4s 6d (serious money in those days for a school boy). This car was the very latest release from Corgi Toys and, like thousands of others, I was hooked! It wasn't just that the lines of this car were among the most exciting ever to be seen on our roads; nor was it its bright white paintwork - something that's been essential on all the real cars I later owned. No, what made this car really special was the fact that this was the car Simon Templar drove, and Corgi toys were very cleverly (and for the first time) exploiting the connection between a motor car and a star of the TV screen, for "The Saint" was among the top rated British television shows throughout the 1960's - and Volvo 1800 cars were as much a part of the performance as Roger Moore who played the leading character. The Volvo P1800 entered full scale production during May 1961. This followed the model's unveiling to the public at the Brussels show in January 1960, where an Italian-built prototype was displayed. Like other prototype and pre-production cars, its radiator grille incorporated a 'V' motif which was not perpetuated on production models, although this was included in the Corgi casting (as were cow- horn bumpers, front and rear) suggesting the model was planned at an early stage. Indeed, an earlier P1800 model had already appeared as part of Corgi's standard range of model cars, one of which was featured in the 15th episode of the TV series, and it was possibly this that caused Corgi to embark on the idea of a Saint version of the model car.
The second "Saint" car, 77 GYL, was part of the 'Cars of the Stars' Motor Museum display at Keswick until it closed in 2011. It is now believed to be owned by an enthusiast in the USA. Finished in bright white, it carries a Saint logo on the bonnet - just like the Corgi models did - although such a device was never actually carried in the TV series.
When released for general sale to the public, the real P1800 was a truly international car. Whilst based solidly on Swedish design, the striking body lines were derived from Italian thinking and made this model unlike any other Volvo. Engine and gearbox were of course pure Volvo while the rear axle was American and many other components were of UK or European origin. Its monocoque body shell was produced in Scotland by Pressed Steel and because of insufficient capacity in Volvo's Swedish plants, the model was initially assembled by Jensen in West Bromwich. And with its 1780cc engine capable of producing 100 bhp, there was no shortage of power from this stunning newcomer. 1961 was also the year in which a new British television series was being planned. This was to be based on Leslie Charteris' character Simon Templar, alias "The Saint" - which was also to be the series title. For many, this series was to be their first introduction to the character, but in fact Simon Templar first appeared in a Charteris novel in 1928. This was followed by dozens more books, comics, radio stories and films so that by the time the TV series was planned Simon Templar was already one of the longest running characters in detective fiction. Simon Templar was essentially a British 'hero', although his adventures took him around the globe and he had naturally 'driven' a great deal during his first three decades, his own cars including the fictional Furillac and Hirondel in the Charteris novels. For the television stories, the Saint's car was to be a regular and significant feature and the production team was looking for an exciting sports model which reflected both the performance and style of the main character. What happened next is now legendary.
Another new sports car which had recently been introduced was Jaguar's spectacular E-type. The programme makers decided this was the model they wanted for the Saint who, following their failure to sign Patrick McGoohan, was now to be played by Roger Moore. An approach was made to Jaguar to supply a white E-type for the series but the company declined, believing that the' did not need additional publicity an could sell as many E-types as they could produce anyway. Faced with this decision, an alternative sports car o distinctive design was sought and Volvo' was hurriedly approached to provide; white P1800. A London Volvo agent obliged by providing a gleaming, bright white P1800 (registered 71 DXC). All parties were oblivious to the fact the Volvo was about to receive more publicity for its 1800 Series than it could ever have achieved by any other means and the TV company reputedly paid the full list price for the first 1800 car. As many readers will remember, or screen the Saint's car carried registration ST1; but this was added purely for] filming, the plates often crudely hooked over the official number plate while shooting took place. Filming commenced in 1962 and the TV series was an immediate success being screened around the world From the very first episode- entitled "The Talented Husband" the car made regular and often lengthy appearances. Twenty--six episodes were initially commissioned which frequently featured the bright white Jensen-built model. A mock-up of the inside of the car was also created for interior shots which was almost perfect - apart from the omission of interior lights on the rear pillars. In one episode, this interior (together with Volvo engine sounds!) was used to act as the inside of an Aston Martin DB5 - which carried registration BMT 216A, which many will recognise as the number carried on an Aston in the 1964 James Bond film, 'Goldfinger'.
As the series progressed, the Saint was to be seen regularly driving his Volvo in France and Germany, and in one episode in the Bahamas - which took some explaining since the story involved the Saint flying in and out of that location! In reality, the car didn't leave British shores but clever editing linked scenes of real locations to studio shots at Elstree. Some driving sequences were taken 'on location', often with a "stand-in" at the wheel and a clever trick used more than once was to print a traffic scene in reverse on screen to create the illusion of the car driving on the right-hand side of the road! One of the most exciting sequences was filmed for an episode called 'The Rough Diamonds' where a spectacular car chase takes place in Central London with Simon Templar pursued by villains in a Ford Zephyr 4 (the villains' car was inevitably a Ford Zephyr for British stories or a white Citroen if the plot was set in France). The drama of the chase was filmed on London streets among real London traffic - and would be difficult if not impossible to undertake today without closing the roads to the public at large.
During 1963, assembly of Volvo Pl800s was transferred from the UK to Sweden and a few minor changes to the detail of the car occurred with this move, while an 'S' suffix was added to the model designation. Not surprisingly, the huge impact made on the popularity of this model by its appearance in the series was now obvious to everyone and, late in 1963 a new Swedish-built P1800S was supplied to add to the previous car. This car was registered 77 GYL and, significantly, in addition to its film role was also to be Roger Moore's own personal car for the next few years. However, among the changes caused by the transfer of production to Sweden was an alteration to the range of colours in which the cars were finished, and instead of bright white the nearest available alternative from the range of standard colours for Swedish-built Volvo cars was Pearl white - which was much 'creamier' than the previous shade. In view of the image created by the Saint's white Volvo, this seems an extraordinary situation for although the TV series continued to be filmed in black and white - so it was virtually impossible to tell the difference on screen - a customer wishing to purchase a white Saint-car look-a-like had, from now on, to be content with a rather disappointing 'cream' compared with that originally portrayed on TV.
Another variation with the Swedish-built cars was that they featured Volvo's standard chrome hub caps with red 'V' emblems in the centre. It was decided however to fit Jensen-style discs on the new Saint car (which production. 'Swedish' models never had) to maintain continuity of appearance, but in episode fifty-five entitled 'The Contract', three scenes occur, intermingled with others, showing the car before the wheel trims were switched. Frequently, episodes featured scenes with both the 'Jensen' car and later 'S' models interspersed but the only occasion when two 1800s appeared side-by-side on screen was in 'The Miracle Tea Party' where a scene at Waterloo Station shows the Saint's car passing a dark-coloured 1800. Whether this was coincidence, or was perhaps Leslie Charteris' own car (as it is believed he too drove an 1800 for a while) is unknown.
As production of these cars continued in Sweden, now known as the "1800S", several further detail changes took place - as is regularly the case with car production. The point was therefore reached where the TV series was in danger of portraying an out-of-date car as modified bumpers, grille and yet another type of wheel and hub cap had been introduced. It was therefore decided to provide Simon Templar with an up-to--date 1800S with modifications consistent with those introduced from 1965. To achieve this the programme producers imaginatively devised a situation in 'The Frightened Inn-Keeper' (story no.61), in which the Saint's car was blown-up (needless to say - without the hero inside). This incident conveniently took place behind a hedge so no actual damage to a car was necessary! This story began with a bright white 'Jensen' model in the opening sequences, which could have been 71 DXC, the original car, as all the details such as aerial and GB plate matched, except bullet-style wing mirrors were fitted. After the explosion, the story-line involved the Saint taking delivery of a replacement car, and a shiny 1800S with the latest features arrived on screen. This could well have been yet another car but it has been suggested that in fact it remained 77 GYL, as its bumpers, wheels etc were modified to the latest style for continued film work. In this updated form the car continued to be prominent, but continuity errors continued during following episodes, with scenes mixed with older car(s) from time to time, including two episodes later in 'The Smart Detective' in which the London car chase scenes were re-used!

By the end of 1965, seventy-one episodes had been made and "The Saint" was to switch from black & white to colour. Although still a few years away, this was in readiness for the coming of British colour TV and also catered for certain overseas markets, but the next series could initially still only be broadcast in the UK as a black and white transmission. It was to be several years before British viewers could enjoy re-runs of "The Saint" - and later still home video versions - in full colour. From this point the cream, rather than bright white car colour became obvious in many scenes - although some shots appeared to continue to suggest the car paintwork was bright white. It is possible an original Jensen car remained with modified grille and bumpers, or a car had been repainted. A third possibility is that photographically a brighter shade is conveyed, especially in night scenes, as this is certainly often the case even today with still colour photography of these cars. The interior of all Saint Volvos used up to this point was red, including the interior mock-up which remained in regular use, even though clearly based on a 'Jensen' design with its distinctive parcel shelf arrangement. After 14 colour episodes, the 1800S appeared on screen with a further modification as eight-spoke sports wheels were now to be seen, but Volvo was by this time making still further improvements to its 1800 range including replacement of the curved side chrome trim with a straight design, while power had now reached 115 bhp. Existing versions could not easily be updated and, in any case, the TV cars were growing older in other respects too. As a consequence, further changes to the TV Saint's transport occurred during 1967.
Early that year two new cars were delivered to completely replace the earlier models. Registered NUV 647/8E, they were again finished in the cream 'Pearl white' shade rather than bright white (the latter remaining unavailable yet Volvo publicity continued to illustrate cars in bright white!); and spoked wheels similar to those introduced on the previous car were also fitted. Internally, one was upholstered in red and was for Roger Moore's private use, while the other, with black interior, was primarily for film work. These cars remained until the Roger Moore Saint programmes ceased to be made in 1969, receiving reflective 'ST 1' number plates for the final episodes. Forty-three colour versions of "The Saint" were made together with two feature-length stories, making 116 programmes in total when added to the earlier black and white productions, the majority including the Volvo cars. With the exception of the Bahamas story mentioned earlier, whenever the Saint appeared in an overseas location where he would have been unlikely to have taken his car, a different type of local car became his means of transport - although it was invariably white. Just once, in an English story entitled "The Checkered Flag", did the Saint appear - without any explanation - driving a Bentley Continental. "The Saint" was produced during a period when British television was itself rapidly developing, and private car ownership was booming. The series promoted Volvo 1800s in a way that is difficult to parallel and which could never have been achieved by any other method, yet all this occurred largely by accident! As a result, this model will always be associated with the Roger Moore Saint series.
During the late 1970's, the programme concept was revived as 'Return of the Saint' starring Ian Ogilvy. Again a white car carrying registration ST1 was used but this time it was a Jaguar XJS - Jaguar choosing not to miss the opportunity to feature one of its cars in this series (!) - and there was even a Corgi version of this car. But the new series did not enjoy the success of the earlier versions. Later still, Simon Dutton took on the role of Templar for a short run of feature length stories filmed in the 1980s, and reverted to the darker side of Leslie Charteris' character. His car became a dark blue Jensen Interceptor with registration reversed as '1 ST'. This registration now adorns a Rolls Royce in the West Country while the previous ST1 is currently carried by a Mini in London. Of the original Volvo cars used for film work, there is no record of 71 DXC or NUV 647E. However sister car NUV 648E, which was sold for almost £50,000 after the series, now resides at the Cars of the Stars Motor Museum at Keswick, as does 77 GYL which now forms part of the principal display carrying "Corgi Toys" livery - having been resprayed bright white with a Saint logo painted on the bonnet.

The last decade of research in Statistical Machine Translation (SMT) has seen rapid progress. The most successful methods have been based on synchronous context free grammars (SCFGs), which encode translational equivalences and license reordering between tokens in the source and target languages. Yet, while closely related language pairs can be translated with a high degree of precision now, the result for distant pairs is far from acceptable. In theory, however, the "right " SCFG is capable of handling most, if not all, structurally divergent language pairs.

Q: Make background of a div with small image by repeating I am wondering if the following is possible to implement or not:
Say, I have an image of size 20x20 px and in my website I have a div of 750x500 px and I want to make the image as background of the whole div. I tried to do it by repeating the image but repeating doesn't work good. Background seems distorted in this case. Is there any other way to do this? I searched on internet but nothing came up.
![please check the image][1]

A: Is this what you're asking? http://jsbin.com/xuxeci/1/edit

div {
  width: 750px;
  height: 500px;
  background-image: url(http://placekitten.com/20/20);
}

By default, the above background image repeats in both the x and y dimensions. This can be limited by applying background-repeat-x: no-repeat, or background-repeat-y: no-repeat, or background-repeat: no-repeat(that last one applying to bothxandy`).
Doc for background-repeat: http://devdocs.io/css/background-repeat
If you're not wanting to repeat (tile) the image, but instead to stretch it to fill the div, you probably want to choose a larger image (larger than 20 by 20 pixels, to avoid pixelation), and do this: http://jsbin.com/xuxeci/2/edit
div {
  width: 750px;
  height: 500px;
  background-image: url(http://placekitten.com/2000/2000);
  background-size: cover;
  background-position: center;
}

Doc for background-size: http://devdocs.io/css/background-size
Doc for background-position: http://devdocs.io/css/background-position
You've added a screenshot, and you asked why you're seeing a grid pattern. That's because you're tiling an asymmetrical image (the edges don't match). If you want the background "smooth" (as you described), why not just use a background color? You could name a color (like gray) or use a hex-code: http://jsbin.com/picep/1/edit

div {
  width: 750px;
  height: 500px;
  background-color: #5e5e5e; /* One of many hex-code combinations for a medium grey. */
}

Is the Capitol Hill violence a warning for the world's liberal democracies, asks A L I Chougule
By A L I Chougule
For close observers of the pro-Trump and far right extremist movements in the US and European nations, the scenes that unfolded on Capitol Hill last week were waiting to happen. On January 6, thousands of Trump supporters flocked to Washington to protest and overturn the results of the November 2020 presidential election. They had listened to their president say he would never concede, that American elections were no longer free and fair and that he lost because the election was rigged. Then he egged on his supporters to march on the Capitol building. Moments later, chanting "This is our House', they broke past security lines at the Capitol, in an attempt to overthrow a democratic process that was on inside the house: a joint Congressional session to count electoral votes and officially confirm Joe Biden's victory. As grim as last Wednesday's events were, they were also predictable and almost inevitable.
Predictable because one can draw a straight line from years of conspiracy theories and dangerous propaganda spouted by the far right and Donald Trump himself, across the internet and in the right-wing media, creating intricate and dangerous alternative realities, to Trump rallies and his refusal to concede the election to the siege of the Capitol.
Shattered reality
For those who were fed on a steady diet of lies, last Wednesday's events were the result of a realisation that there was no grand plan for Trump to magically retain office. If the presidential election showed that America is a divided nation, the endless stream of propaganda, conspiracy and lies of the past four years and events of the last few weeks show America in a crisis. It is a culmination of years of hatred, trolling and violent harassment of blacks which, at times, spilled into the streets but has shown its true impact now. Violence is one outcome; shattering of a shared American reality, the glue that holds the country together and makes democracy possible is another.
Who is to be blamed for the Capitol attack and assault on democracy? Mainstream western media has blamed Trump. Some opinion writers have said that Trump is too dangerous to leave in office for even one more week. His language of patriotism is too dangerous. Wednesday wasn't Trumpism's "last gasp". It was a manifestation of a divided society, in which millions of Americans, as opinion writer Charlie Warzel has said in New York Times, "are actively courting conspiracies and violent, radical ideologies in order to make sense of a world they don't trust."
Great nations are created by statesmen, democracy is nurtured by evolved, responsible and liberal leaders. But Trump, using the language of patriotism with a promise to make "America great", used most of his four-year term to weaken democracy and undermine institutions. If his election four years ago shocked the world, the fag end of his presidency is very distressing.
Warning for others
As many global leaders expressed horror at what happened at Capitol Hill that literally "shook the world", placing the blame squarely on Trump, many saw it as a stark and disturbing warning for all the world's democracies: if this could happen in the US, it could happen anywhere. Some saw it not merely as a US national issue, but an attack on the very fundamentals of democratic structures and institutions. As leaders and government officials around the world responded with the sort of statements previously issued by the US State Department when political violence consumed other countries, even some of Trump's vocal admirers distanced themselves from the violence that unfolded.
The attack on the Capitol, coming less than a day after the Hong Kong police had arrested more than 50 democracy activists, was seen as a deep blow to America's global credibility, making it harder for America to hold to account authoritarian leaders who trample on democratic values. Clearly, the US has lost the moral authority to preach democracy and human rights to other countries.
For many foreign leaders, the scenes in the US were also reminders of recent political attacks on democracy at home. Germany drew a parallel between the storming of the US Capitol and last year's attempt by a far right, anti-vaccine German mob to enter the Reichstag, the building that houses Germany's parliament. Some Germans also felt reminded of the National Socialist riots of the 1920s and 1930s.
In the Netherlands, angry farmers, often led by the far-right Farmers Defence Force, have been destroying government offices and threatening politicians since 2019. Going further back, in 2006, a far right mob stormed the Hungarian parliament and engaged with police for weeks in the streets of Budapest, which ultimately saw an increase in radicalisation and return to power of current Prime Minister Viktor Orban.
Far right on centre stage
How and why did we get thus far? First and foremost, through a long process of failures of democracy, short-sighted opportunism of the mainstream right and mainstreaming of far-right ideas and people. Donald Trump has been a major catalyst for this process.
The same is true of nationalist and right-wing leaders like Marine Le Pen of France, Jair Bolsonaro of Brazil, Recep Erdogan of Turkey, Italy's Matteo Salvini and Israel's Benjamin Netanyahu. Political scientists and commentators, who have studied international far right forces over three decades, say that they have never seen them as emboldened as in the last decade. Beyond Europe, illiberal and hardline right wing forces are on the march. In India for instance, right-wing forces are on the rise and their mainstreaming has been an ongoing process since 2014.
There is a lot that separates nationalists from one another, but, according to Princeton political philosopher Jan-Werner Muller, "It's possible to pick out shared tendencies coursing through their politics: governance based on nationalism (often with racist overtones), on hijacking the state for the ends of partisan loyalists and, less obviously, on weaponising the economy to secure political power."
Democracy under threat
So, is democracy itself as vulnerable as the buildings that were breached in Budapest, Berlin and now, Washington? Political scientist Daniel Ziblatt has spent many years studying the breakdown of democracies in Europe, Latin America and his own country, the US. He believes that democracy is under threat worldwide. "The US is a pretty old democracy, it is also a rich democracy. This should make it stable. The fact that we are seeing the erosion of democracy in the US should be a warning for other countries," says Ziblatt.
The crucial difference between the US and other global democracies, according to German political scientist Sebastian Bukow, co-author of best-selling book 'How Democracies Die', is that while in the US, democracy has been repeatedly questioned by the president himself, in most of the Western European democracies right wing leaders are supported by a small radical minority in society. The disturbing phenomenon over the last two decades is the global trend of the rise of illiberal democracy, which found a hospitable environment in the US.
One can see the signs of illiberal democracy finding ground in India through the siren song of right-wing nationalists and because of the current potency of politics as a culture war, as also due to the dilution of democracy by democratic means. The dwindling checks and balances, waning power of countervailing and intermediary institutions, amid growing polarisation and declining trust in shared definitions of common good and also facts are all a threat to India's Constitutional, liberal democracy.

1) How can I count number of toggles that have been pressed?? I can't find this anywhere
2) How to input value into jTextField?? I know it is basic but I don't know how, I searched around and all of them are about retrieving information from textfield instead of inserting
3) How can I pass the value from jLabel7 to my other jFrame?? Cause I wanna use it as receipt, e.g: Total cost is 20

The SomeClass is the other class with the main method that takes your toggle_count*10  as an argument


Hello .. What do you think is due to the problem with the message in the picture. Please for opinion and recommendations ..! Thanks in advance..!
I apologize in advance for bad English ..!
- Open the Hyper-V Manager application.
- Right-click the VM that was created through viBoot and select Settings.
- Select Checkpoints and uncheck "Enable checkpoints". Click OK.
Your VM should now be able to start from Hyper-V Manager or viBoot without displaying that error message. I'm not sure why checkpoints aren't disabled automatically as part of the viBoot wizard though. Checkpoints can't be used if viBoot is using pass-through disks.
Thanks for the reply..! But unfortunately it did not get ..! Now another error is generated ..! Apparently I can not handle it regretfully ..! Something to confuse ..!
Open Task Manager on your system and click the Performsnce tab, then click Memory. If you don't see the Performance tab, click "More details" first. How much available memory is shown there, and how much memory did you select for your VM? You should make sure that even after you start your VM your system will still have at least 1GB free.
Sorry, I will not be able to use viBoot + Windows Hyper-V ..! There is no memory ... Unfortunately my laptop is Lenovo L 540 is weak for this function .. Thank you for your help and assistance.


Any action, sanctions or otherwise, will be met with "greater action"
Saudi Arabia said on Sunday that it rejects any threats and attempts to undermine it, and would respond with "greater action" to any sanctions or action taken against the Kingdom, state news agency SPA has reported.
An official source stated that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and from its leading position in the Arab and Islamic worlds has played a prominent role throughout history in achieving security, stability and prosperity of the region and the world, leading efforts in combating extremism and terrorism, enhancing economic cooperation and consolidating peace and stability in the region and the world and it is still working with brotherly and friendly countries to promote these goals, basing all of this on its own status as a platform of revelation, and the birthplace of Islam.
The kingdom affirms its total rejection of any threats and attempts to undermine it, whether by threatening to impose economic sanctions, using political pressures, or repeating false accusations that will not undermine the Kingdom and its staunch positions and Arab, Islamic and international status, the outcome of these weak endeavors, like their predecessors, is a demise.
The Kingdom as the government and people are steadfast, glorious as ever, no matter whatever the pressures and circumstances might be.
The Kingdom also affirms that if it receives any action, it will respond with greater action, and that the Kingdom's economy has an influential and vital role in the global economy and that the Kingdom's economy is affected only by the impact of the global economy.
The Kingdom appreciates the brothers' stand in the face of the campaign of false allegations and falsehoods, as well as it appreciates the voices of the wise people around the world, who have overcome wisdom, deliberation and the search for truth instead of rushing and seeking to exploit rumors and accusations to achieve goals and agendas unrelated to the search for truth.

Meryl Streep joins 'Big Little Lies' season 2 — will she win her fourth Emmy?

Fresh off her record 21st Oscar nomination for "The Post," Meryl Streep is setting her sights on the Emmys: the three-time Oscar and three-time Emmy winner has joined the second season of "Big Little Lies," according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Streep will play Mary Louise Wright (fun fact: Streep's birth name is Mary Louise), the mother of Alexander Skarsgard's Perry Wright, who — spoiler alert! — died in the first season finale. Mary Louise drops by Monterey because she's concerned about the well-being of her grandchildren after her son's death.
This means we'll definitely get some screentime between Streep and Nicole Kidman, who plays Skarsgard's widow Celeste and with whom Streep co-starred, albeit with no shared scenes, in "The Hours" (2002). (Dear David E. Kelley: Please be sure to write a scene with Kidman screaming "I'm dying in this town!" in Streep's face. Thanks!) What are the chances Julianne Moore will sign on next?
SEE 2018 Oscar nominations: Full list of Academy Awards nominees in all 24 categories
Streep previously won Emmys for the 1978 miniseries "Holocaust," the 2003 miniseries adaptation of "Angels in America" and just last year for her narration on "Five Came Back." She has an additional nomination for the 1997 TV movie "…First Do No Harm." Her other forays into TV include voice work on "The Simpsons" and "King of the Hill." She's also attached to the upcoming J.J. Abrams series "The Nix."
"Big Little Lies" cleaned up at the Emmys last year, winning eight of its 16 nominations, including Best Limited Series and acting awards for Kidman, Skarsgard and Laura Dern. Reese Witherspoon and Shailene Woodley earned nominations as well. Kidman, Skarsgard and Dern also won Golden Globes and Critics' Choice Awards, with the former two adding Screen Actors Guild Awards this past Sunday, and the show won the top prize at the Globes and Critics' Choice. If the second season is as great and as big of a hit as the first, we can definitely expect some nominations and wins for Streep.
Season 2, which will be written by Kelley again, will consist of seven episodes like the first. Witherspoon, Kidman and Streep are the only confirmed stars so far, but the rest of the cast is expected to return, including Skarsgard, who would likely appear via flashbacks. Andrea Arnold ("Transparent") will replace director Jean-Marc Vallee, who won an Emmy as well.
Are you excited for Streep on "Big Little Lies"? Do you think she'll win another Emmy?

Home FOOD & DRINK Brooklyn, N.Y.-founded Victory Cafe opens Atwood branch
Brooklyn, N.Y.-founded Victory Cafe opens Atwood branch
by Linda Falkenstein
The new Victory Cafe, 2710 Atwood Ave., is having a very, very soft opening. Owner Patrick Downey says he was just too excited to stay at home while finishing touches were being put on the space, so he figured he might as well hang out at the shop and start serving people coffee. The espresso machine is in, the coffee is stocked, but the baked goods are still somewhat scarce, and the menu, for panini and the like, is still to be finalized.
But the coffee, from Milwaukee's Anodyne Coffee Roasting Company, is potent and made with care, and the service, super-friendly.
Downey moved to Madison from Brooklyn, N.Y., where the original Victory Cafe, in the Boerum Hill neighborhood, colonized that gentrifying area. The Brooklyn cafe is still open - all 200-some square feet of it, says Downey. The relatively modest 800-square-foot space on Atwood, formerly the icon shop, and once upon a time a neighborhood grocery, seems spacious in comparison. One wall is given over to small tables; the front window alcove to a kids' play area, with blackboard paint covering most lower surfaces and waiting for chalk decoration to fill it entirely. The ad hoc art display joins a pressed-tin ceiling, gold banquette seating and 1950s-style starburst light fixtures.
The baked goods will eventually come from the nearby Ironworks Cafe kitchen, but in the meantime, muffins and cookies are being baked by Downey's wife, Alison, including a crisp oatmeal chocolate chip cookie that's received a laudatory mention in Food and Wine magazine. (They'll stay on the menu.)
And the cafe will not feature Wi-Fi. Downey says he likes to see his patrons talking with each other, although if you do want to, say, work on your laptop, you can - without the distraction of the Internet. And if you want to read The New York Times, you can do it the old-fashioned way, on newsprint, speared on those thevictorymadison.com or call 608-240-0366.
A new food cart, Caracas Empanadas, will be parking at the corner of Park and Spring streets, serving specialties from Venezuela. Hours will vary - currently, chef/owner Luis Dompablo gives them as 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Thursday through Saturday and 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday. The deep-fried empanadas, from Dompablo's mother's recipe, will be filled with ground beef and cheese, shredded beef and cheese, turkey and cheese, chicken, pulled pork, plain cheese or a vegetarian special.
The former Ancora at 1859 Monroe St. is now Gallup Coffee and Bakehouse, 608-285-5704; open 6:30 a.m.-5 p.m. daily.
El Rincón Tico, a sister restaurant to Butler Street's Cafe Costa Rica, is in progress across from the BP gas station on Williamson Street. The new place will have a similar menu with different specials and, not surprisingly, more seating. It's hoped the new restaurant will be ready to open in two to three weeks.

Rewrite Your Unhelpful Life Scripts
Children unknowingly modify their behaviour to have the best chance to get acceptance and love, and to avoid punishment and pain.
Repeated messages from caregivers can easily become part of our life script. For example, messages such as 'you must work hard' or 'you must be nice' become strict rules that we may not even notice that we have. These messages easily get internalised as rules such as 'be perfect' or 'be slim'. Whether we feel ok about ourselves can depend on whether we feel that we align with these rules.
Our scripts give us recognisable repeated feelings, such as restriction and bingeing, which can cover up the original pain. The script assumes that this repeated feeling is 'better' than the one it is covering up, but in the end becomes much more debilitating than the underlying one.
Learn how your experiences form life scripts that trap you in unhelpful cycles of behaviour. We discuss ways to rewrite your life scripts to escape cycles of bingeing and yo-yo dieting.
Escape cycles of binge eating and yo-yo dieting by rewriting your unhelpful life scripts
The past influences the present, even if we don't like to admit it.
What is a life script?
Our eating behaviour and body image are formed by past experiences and are kept going by how we live our life now.
By the age of 2 years old most children can recognise themselves in the mirror. As soon as children can see their own reflection, they can start to see how others view their appearance and their actions. They also unknowingly modify their behaviour to have the best chance to get acceptance and love, and to avoid punishment and pain.
These experiences form a life script. Much of our life, including careers and relationships are also influenced by this life script.
Our parental voices
As well as life scripts being influenced by events, we also internalise our parents' opinions and actions as part of our life script.
The critical voice: This is the voice telling you that you are 'fat' and need to go on a diet. The critical' parent talks about 'should', 'must' and 'haven't'. The critical parent withholds love and affection if you 'fail' on your diet. However, it might let you have another biscuit if you have been 'good' that day.
The nurturing voice: The nurturing parent allows you have flexible boundaries and is compassionate and understanding. The nurturing parent allows you the autonomy and the power to choose what you do within those flexible boundaries.
Caregivers and other people of influence have strong effects on us as children and their repeated messages can easily become part of our script. For example, messages such as 'you must work hard' or 'you must be nice' become strict rules that we may not even notice that we have. These messages easily get internalised as rules such as 'be perfect' or 'be slim'. Whether we feel ok about ourselves can depend on whether we feel that we align with these parental rules.
These parental rules and behaviours are absorbed by us as children to create their interpretation of the world and how they can best function to emotionally protect themselves, to feel 'safe'.
Parental modelling
It is not what parents tell us, but what they model or show us that has the most impact. Even if your parent told you to eat a balanced range of food and not to skip meals, if you saw your parent starve themselves in an attempt to lose weight, it is this modelling that will have more of an impact on how your relationship with food may be.
Nourished or punished?
It was likely that some of the experiences that formed your life plan were nourishing and some were punishing. There is no need to assign 'blame' to rewrite life scripts. Even if childhood experiences did lead to challenging life scripts, there is a difference between intent and impact. Many of the things our parents did, and that we do as parents, are with the best intentions, even though the later impact may not be wholly desirable.
If parts of our life plan were formed when we felt threatened or unloved, when emotional survival was uncertain, we may have learnt to ignore some of our needs so that we could 'fit in'. These patterns can feel rigid if we did not have certainty about how to be at the time. Despite this, we can learn to loosen the power of these underlying life scripts.
Here is an example of how these life scripts influence us:
Original event happens:
Told to stop crying and given food to keep quiet.
We create a 'script' from the event:
I must not be sad. Food makes me happy.
A similar event happens, and we behave in the same way, even if many years later:
I feel upset about work today, that is not ok. I want to eat.
We behave in a way that aligns with our script, thereby reinforcing it.
Being upset is not ok, so I reach for food to feel happy, I binge eat to block out emotions.
Here is a way that you could rewrite this script:
A similar event happens, and we notice our patterns of behaviour and choose to act in a different way, even though it might be difficult to start with:
I feel upset about work today. I spoke about it with friends and thought about how what I can do to help tomorrow be easier.
We behave in a way that challenges our script, thereby reducing it's power.
Being upset is not ok, so I spoke to a friend to help me feel happy, I used social support to work through emotions.
What is a healthy life script?
A healthy life script is flexible to changes where basic needs are met. A child who learns to eat healthily with pleasure, and stop when they are full, with the support and modelling of parents, is likely to develop beliefs and patterns about healthy eating and a healthy relationship with food.
Why do we keep repeating scripts when they don't do us any good?
Even when we have noticed that we are repeating unhelpful life scripts and patterns of behaviour, we can easily still repeat them. There are at least three reasons for this:
A script provides familiarity and structure. It provides a pattern of behaviour and a result; this familiar pattern can feel soothing even if the actual behaviour is distressing, like bingeing. The familiarity can be comforting, and we may feel as if we have some control. This repetition avoids uncertainty which can feel more uncomfortable than the distress the binges cause.
If the scripts were formed at a time of emotional pain, we did these things to avoid the original pain. Repeating the script allows us to continue avoiding the original pain.
Because these scripts provide familiarity and a form of comfort, we alter how we think about the world to fit in with our original scripts. An example of this could be thinking that 'I have no control over binge eating'.
Why do we still avoid childhood pain?
Children create scripts to avoid pain. As an adult, we keep using these scripts to avoid that same indescribable childhood pain. However, as an adult we can probably cope with that childhood pain, but we usually don't give ourselves the chance to.
Our scripts give us recognisable repeated feelings, which cover up the original pain. The script assumes that this repeated feeling is 'better' than the one it is covering up, but in the end becomes much more debilitating than the underlying one.
Some examples of how scripts influence other aspects of our life
If a child gets told not to cry and then develops anger to cover it up, then any emotionally charged situation will be met with anger, instead of what would be the 'real' underlying appropriate emotion. This could easily lead to relationship problems due to angry outbursts and even problems with the law when the person may actually be feeling vulnerable and insecure and not angry at all. Anger is often a sign of another, more 'vulnerable', emotion underneath.
If we are told not to make a fuss by an anxious parent, we will likely develop anxiety and under-assertiveness as a 'cover' for any other feelings. This could lead to limiting our career aspirations due to debilitating anxiety and a lack of assertiveness or confidence to pursue our favoured career.
Life scripts and inertia
Many of us have gone through life doing what we think we should do, this may be at least partly due to life scripts. We have ended up doing things that were expected of us by our family and by society, without necessarily choosing to do them. Because we get used to travelling the expected path, it is difficult to step back and realise what we really want, or where we want to go. We forget what we dream of being before we add 'but' or 'I can't'.
How to rewrite your unhelpful life scripts
Take a few deep breaths and notice where your feet are touching the ground. Come back here if you find this exercise too much.
Be open to noticing the scripts and the repeating patterns of behaviour that is not benefiting you.
Can you notice your inner critical parent voice? What is it saying?
Can you speak from you inner nurturing parent voice instead? What would that voice say?
What emotions you are avoiding with this behaviour?
Does a childhood memory come to mind when you are thinking about this?
If so, what emotions were you feeling then?
Did you allow yourself to feel them? Can you feel them now?
You are now an adult. Can you now cope with this emotion and find another way to deal with it?
Take a few deep breaths and notice your feet again. How can you rewrite your life script?

Yes it definitely is a Chocolate Blog Week.
Someone recently tweeted a comment about Paleo bloggers forever posting treats, pimping cookies and brownies! Are we still Paleo? We have supposedly forsaken sugar and all sweet things. Well here's the thing. Yes, we do seem to be obsessed with sweet stuff but actually we are obsessed with food full stop/period. Now this will sound crazy, but I think we are so obsessed because we are no longer in the thralls of sugar/carb addiction.
We can eat guilt free, we can now stand back and look at food in a more intellectual and creative way. We have lost that feeling, "if I don't eat something, right here, right now I am just going to chew my arm off". So we are more objective. Ok now I am going to stretch this a bit – feel free to laugh or comment, whatever! Now I think the reason we post more sweet stuff is because it looks better in photos (haha!). Yes and also it is more inclusive, both to Paleo and non Paleo folks. Ok maybe I should stop right now, it is starting to sound like a crazy lady excuse to bake tasty treats – even to me.
So onward in my chocolate saga. I posted my Chocolate Coconut Rough slice – or should I say "our", as the base was from Heather at Cook it up Paleo. I had a bit left over and pressed it into one of those cute tiny flan tins and it ended up looking like this.
Almost too pretty to eat – yeah right, that thought didn't last long.
Preheat oven to 190 c 375 f. Lightly oil (butter or coconut oil) 11cm/41/2 in loose bottom mini flan tins.
Very gently remove each flan from its tin and place on its own serving plate.
Thaw frozen berries then to room temperature.
Or lightly poach fresh berries by heating gently until the juices run.
Divide the marscapone cream and spread evenly across each flan base.
You know you can be creative with the base and fix your own fillings. How about making it a triple chocolate hit by lining the base with melted chocolate and filling with chocolate mousse.
Ahhh – another chocolate recipe coming!!!
wow!! that looks so good! do you know how many grams of fat are in a serving?
Yes, I can say that it tastes really great and thank you for your comment and question.
I don't know the fat content of the tart but if you are on low fat diet it would probably be considered very high. Regardless, it is a special treat 🙂 Sorry I can't help more.

Vripack has plenty of experience designing an extensive portfolio of explorer yachts, and this is reflected in their latest design, M/Y Rock, which combines sturdy and rugged lines with the familiar design flair of Vripack's Robin de Vries. As a result, a balance of form and function has been achieved.
Unveiled for the first time at the Monaco Yacht Show 2018, Rock's fast displacement hull allows speeds up to 17 knots and a transatlantic range of 3,000nm when cruising at 12 knots. Her high, straight bow can cut through rough seas, contrasting with a low aft section that allows a close connection with the water.
At 24m in length, Rock falls below the official superyacht size category, although the interior volume is expansive for a yacht of its size. The design studio reveals that there is 20 per cent more interior volume and 30 per cent more exterior space than the industry standard at this length.
"M/Y Rock is really a showcase of what you can achieve when an owner gets involved in a project with an open mind, embraces the spirit of discovery and wants to push the boundaries of what has already been done," adds Vripack's Marnix J. Hoekstra.
Rock was constructed by Evadne Yachts with project management support by Tufan and Brothers. She is on display at the Monaco Yacht Show 2018 and is available for inspection adjacent to the Tender Display in berth number J06.


The May 2013 Dataquick home values report is out for Orange County (OC).
Over the past 12 months, the median value for all homes sold in the OC has increased 24.1% to $540,000. That's $5K higher than last month's median for all homes sold. Also, condominium values rose 30.8% to $365,000 ($250 higher than last month's median) and resale homes 21.2% to $600,000 ($9K higher than last month's median). New construction had a 13.8% price increase during the same period with a median sale price of $685,000 ($15K lower than last month's median).
For another month, we continue to see major increases in home values with some signs of prices leveling off. All eye's will be on the Federal Reserve Chairman, Ben Barnanke, for his July report and recommendation on future monetary policy.


The Wisconsin Public Service Commission on Thursday approved letting local officials in Kenosha County use water fees for the first time to help customers pay for replacing lead water lines.
The program, established by Wisconsin Act 137, which was passed in 2017, allows water utilities to use rate revenue to help customers replace lead water pipes found on their properties. Although the Public Service Commission has no need to approve the replacement of the parts of lead pipes that are owned directly by utilities, it does have a say over programs that provide customers with grants or loans to replace their own water lines.
The Kenosha Water Utility plans to embark soon on its lead-line-replacement program. The utility must report back to the Public Service Commission in years on the programs' finances.
It's estimated that 112 of the 578 drinking-water utilities found in Wisconsin still have lead water lines. And it's likely, too, that even more customer-owned lines are made of lead.

The Swon Brothers Interview On Blake Shelton, Usher, Bob Seger, The Voice
by UInterviewJuly 9, 2013, 12:00 amJuly 9, 2013, 12:00 amJuly 9, 2013, 12:00 amMusic >
Colton Swon, 25, and Zach Swon, 28, make up The Swon Brothers, the country duo who captivated America on the NBC singing competition The Voice. The brothers placed third and were the first duo in the show's history to make it to the season finale.
Hailing from Oklahoma, The Swon Brothers have been making music since they were young touring with their parents' gospel group. Colton once auditioned for American Idol and quickly found out the show didn't fit him. "When it got closer time for them to tell the results for the top 24 on Idol, I was really getting sick because it would've been awesome to make it but, ultimately the goal is to do music with my brother you know, the rest of my life, not you know a solo career," Colton told Uinterview exclusively.
While on The Voice, the brothers were mentored by country music star Blake Shelton who gave them the best advice of the season. "If you just be yourself and show who you are and do the best you can you know, if you're not a big belter singer than don't do it," Zach said of his celebrity coach.

Q: What was your favorite part of working with Blake Shelton on the show? - Uinterview
COLTON: Well, it's been quite a ride, we never expected to make it so far. All we heard was duos tank on that show and that and they don't do very well… everyone told us that. Even Blake at first I think was kind of skeptical as to how far we would go, and then America just got behind us and just absolutely blew our minds. And then Blake he just absolutely treated us like a big brother should, and what you see is what you get with that guy — that's the best way to describe him. He's real genuine. I mean he still texts us after the show, still calling to make sure everything's going good. Nice opportunity.
Q: If you hadn't picked Blake as your coach, who would've been your second choice? - Uinterview
COLTON: Oh man… that's hard to say cause you know Blake's our boy, if Blake did not exist on the show… we probably would've chosen Usher, he was really cool. But Usher, man he just seems really into it, really genuine. I mean all the coaches are genuine, but there's just something that dude that you can tell he has a great heart. He actually cares where you end up.
Q: What was the best piece of advice that any of the coaches gave you on The Voice? - Uinterview
ZACH: I think the biggest thing that Blake told us from the very start was just come out here and be yourself. If you just be yourself and show who you are and do the best you can, if you're not a big belter singer than don't do it. I think that took us a long way, obviously we made it to the finale and there're a lot of people that were on that show that could out sing us, but I think America and fans wants to see something that's real.
Q: What was going through your minds during that performance on The Voice with Bob Seger? - Uinterview
COLTON: For me, that was the most nerve-racking and exciting part of the show. You know every week its pretty stressful and you're worried about getting voted off, but that was the most stressful because that's Bob Seger, and you don't want to mess it up. That was for the Tuesday night finale the voting was already done—but that dude came to help us get votes, like he didn't know that voting was done. When he told us that we were like, 'Man, you got to be kidding me!' He's a great guy and he was worried about us singing more, he was like, 'Man y'all got to sing more lines, you know we got to get you more votes!' We really just learned a lot that night in rehearsals with him, he was just incredible.
Q: Colton, you actually auditioned on American Idol before, and got up to the top 48. What do you think about the rivalry between the shows? - Uinterview
COLTON: You know what, for me personally Idol was never really the right fit just because me and my brother had been doing this our whole life together. When I tried out, it was kind of like we didn't have anything to do that night we were in Dallas and our parents were just like, 'Let's just walk over and try out!' And I'm like, 'Okay!' So we were there anyway, and I didn't really expect it to make it as far as I did on that so when it got closer time for them to tell the results for top 24 on Idol I was really getting sick because it would've been awesome to make it but, ultimately the goal is to do music with my brother, the rest of my life, not a solo career. And he feels the same way, we would lose a lot of what's special about us if we were separate. And as far as format, of course, The Voice is just way better as duo's are allowed. They just are really great-hearted producers and great-hearted people and we were really, really surprised at the heart of the show behind the scenes. When people get voted off you have producers and production crew crying with you, when someone leaves they literally care and they're out to make you look the best you possibly can on TV.
Q: If you could collaborate with anyone, who would you like to collaborate most with on a song outside of the show? - Uinterview
ZACH: For us, it'd have to be The Eagles, man, we love the fact that they can be respected in the rock world and the country world now. It's harmony driven and—we were just talking about that yesterday—that the thing about them the reason they're still playing after 40 years and are still as successful as ever is because of great songs. And it starts with great songs, and they put a lot of time into writing and creating. They're a big influence and I think it would be awesome to work with anyone in that band.
Q: What has your life been like since the show ended? - Uinterview
COLTON: It has been meeting after meeting, with just different people like managers, tour managers we're finding out—getting the details I think it looks like we'll find a home at a label somewhere. We hope, legally we can't say who and what, when, where, but basically it's looking good for us man. We thought maybe when the show was over the business might slow down, but it hasn't at all we have some really great possible tours set up, really great opening spots. All that will be released really soon, but I just don't want to get myself in trouble and say something I'm not supposed to you know. Blake has opened up some doors we could've never got opened. And its going to be a great year for The Swon Brothers I know that!

Fetal bovine serum (FBS) is the most widely used growth promoter used in cell culture. FBS contains more growth factors than any other animal serum, and also has lower levels of undesirable complements than other types of serum. FBS is also the most expensive and difficult to source serum, with prices ranging from 3x - 10x more than other bovine serum products. Growing demand, coupled with a lower supply of FBS has resulted in a volatile market for US FBS and consequently prices have increased significantly in the past few years. You can read more about the supply and demand of US FBS on RMBIO's Expressions using this link: www.rmbio.com/fetal-bovine-serum-supply-and-demand-for-us-fbs. With the increase in US FBS prices, we have seen an increase in demand for other bovine serum products, including newborn and calf serum. This article provides a comparison among classifications of bovine serum.
Newborn calf serum and calf serum are cost effective alternatives to FBS, and we see them used in situations where large quantities of serum are used, such as fermentation processes and vaccine production. Research and diagnostic users of bovine serum often consider non-FBS options for their cell culture medium as well. Newborn calf serum and calf serum are most often used in situations where the cell line is robust and thus less demanding.
Total protein levels, IgG, and endotoxin, along with price, are the most common attributes our customers consider in their evaluation of serum. The following chart shows the typical values for these important serum components from lots of serum we have manufactured in the past several years.
Total protein and IgG (gamma globulin) levels in bovine serum increase with the age of animal the serum is collected from. The USP guidelines specify that total protein levels in FBS are less than or equal to 4.5g/dL, but the standards do not call out protein specifications for the other categories of bovine serum.
The total protein in serum is measured by taking a chemistry panel of the serum. While there are numerous proteins in bovine serum, the most abundant is bovine serum albumin (BSA). Some serum applications, like vaccine production, require a reduction or complete removal of bovine protein from the final product. In those instances lower levels of protein make for less work which is one reason RMBIO has seen an increase in newborn calf serum demand recently. Historically newborn calf serum has been priced enough higher than calf serum that many users opted to spend the additional resources removing the extra protein in order to realize the cost savings. This cost-benefit analysis has changed recently though as market dynamics have caused the price of calf serum higher than newborn.
Endotoxin levels are largely impacted by the collection methods, equipment used in the serum collection and the efficiency of the serum filtration. Endotoxin levels are measured with a LAL gel clot assay that uses horseshoe crabs, although there is some momentum building for the use of PTS chromogenic readers to measure endotoxin levels of serum.
Most customers end up sampling lots of serum before making a determination of which lot to purchase. The decision to use a non-FBS bovine serum is largely a determination of cost-benefit of the growth promotion versus of the cost. While FBS remains the most popular choice of bovine serum in terms of sheer numbers of users, RMBIO has seen a shift in the percentages of our customers sampling and ultimately purchasing other options like newborn calf serum, calf serum and Fetalgro. Understanding some of the differences among the serum options may help users decide if one they should consider testing one or more of the alternatives to FBS that RMBIO manufactures.


Veteran actor-filmmaker T Rajendhar on Sunday conducted special poojas and yagam at the Sri Vazhakkarutheeswarar temple in Kanchipuram. It is believed that offering prayers at this place would free one from legal tangles.
TR conducted the rituals for his son Simbu, who is in trouble over the 'Beep Song' row. Speaking to reporters in the temple town, the veteran thanked all those who have offered their support to Simbu in the issue.
Meanwhile, the Nadigar Sangam has said it will not back Simbu as he did not apologise over the song which has "hurt the sentiments of many". The association however said Simbu will not be removed from it.
"We have been talking to Silambarasan and advised him to apologise for any hurt caused, but he has already expressed his intention to deal with the matter legally in court. There is absolutely no question of leaving Silambarasan in the lurch because he contested against us. There is no question of removing him from the Nadigar Sangam as well," president Nasser told reporters.

DECISIONS is an awesome new band from Ypsilanti, Michigan with members of Hospital Garden and Terrible Twos. They have been described as guitar heavy, with a fairly keen sense of vocal melody. It's aggressive, but manages to appeal to a wider audience by remaining accessible and catchy. Hell, a few songs even have saxophone. This is their 8 song debut EP, limited to 100 copies on clear red cassettes.


Dig into a bowl of tender chicken, squash, pomegranate seeds and kale. What more could you want?
Brrrrr. The perfect time to turn up the stove is when the temperatures dip.
After all, you not only warm up the house, but yourself, as well.
Especially if it's with a one-pot dish that's simple, comforting and loaded with good-for-you ingredients.
Let's face it, we probably all over-indulged over the holidays. What better way to start a new year then with a cookbook that spotlights the nutritious ingredients of "Greens + Grains"? The cookbook (Chronicle Books), of which I received a review copy, is by my friend Molly Watson, a former staff writer for Sunset magazine. I've always loved Molly's snarky sense of humor and no-nonsense way of doing things.
In her debut cookbook, she takes you through the world of grains and greens, giving advice on how to choose, store and cook them. Learn all about purslane to stinging nettles, buckwheat to millet, and everything in between. There are plenty of vegetarian recipes, but enough meat-based ones, too, to make this an ideal cookbook for anyone wanting to expand their plant-based eating in the new year without feeling deprived in any way.

Hell's Gate. Gothamist reports that the NYC Economic Development Corporation is planning to spruce up a trail beneath the Hell's Gate Bridge railroad trestle on Randall's Island. The pedestrian and bike path will eventually connect to the South Bronx Greenway.
Portlandia Greenway. A multi-use path planned since 2004 is finally getting underway in Portland, according to Bike Portland. The South Waterfront Greenway Trail might not feature those great archways from the Hell's Gate Bridge, but it does offer another innovation: separated pedestrian and bike paths.
Biking JFK. Golden Gate Park could be much more bikable this spring. StreetsBlog says a bright green dedicated, bi-directional bike lane is planned along San Francisco's John F. Kennedy Drive and will eventually connect western neighborhoods with downtown and park attractions.
Have you're say. The Brooklyn Greenway Initiative and the Regional Plan Association are hosting a visioning workshop for a planned greenway in Red Hook, Brooklyn. You can voice your suggestions for the Columbia Street Waterfront Park tomorrow, February 2 at 6:30PM.
