Numerous conservatives have claimed that President Obama's upcoming September 8 speech about "persisting and succeeding in school," along with classroom activities about the "importance of education," will "indoctrinate" and "brainwash" schoolchildren. Conservatives have compared Obama's address to Chinese communism and the Hitler Youth, while also calling for parents to "keep your kids home" from the "fascist in chief."
Newsbusters thinks AARP's magazine is losing members because it put Bruce Springsteen on its cover. Here's Newsbusters' entire case against that cover:
AARP claims it's a "nonpartisan organization," an assertion increasingly challenged by senior citizens. The magazine's September-October issue may give members more evidence for that conclusion. It carries a cover story on rocker Bruce Springsteen, prominent in the presidential campaigns of both Barack Obama and John Kerry. The piece is adulatory, noting that Springsteen at his upcoming concerts "will play several roles - hero, leader, preacher, rebel - the performances unfolding like a novel."
The magazine devotes several pages to observations from his friends. One is liberal activist Bonnie Raitt:
It was an incredible boost when Bruce committed to joining the No Nukes concerts. From the groundbreaking Amnesty International tour, to helping stop Contra aid in the '80s, to a steady stream of benefits, I don't know if any American artist has made as profound a difference.Other Springsteen friends quoted are author Ron Kovic, Jersey Girl and "truth commission" advocate Kristen Breitweiser, and NewsSenator John Kerry, who states of the singer: "In good times and bad, he had my back. . ."
Odd that Newsbusters didn't identify Ron Kovic as the author of Born on the Fourth of July, isn't it? Given the tendency of conservatives to portray themselves as pro-military and pro-veteran, it's a little odd Newsbusters is complaining about a Purple Heart-winning Marine veteran who fought for better treatment of returning vets being quoted in an article. Then again, Newsbusters left out perhaps the best-known example of Springsteen's activism: the benefit concert he performed that saved Vietnam Veterans of America from financial ruin.
Anyway, count me as skeptical that an article about Bruce Springsteen is going to drive away AARP members.
It's becoming increasingly likely that the cadre of crack "bias" sleuths over at NewsBusters don't even read their own blog. I'm not sure how else to explain this latest bit of staggering hypocrisy.
Two days ago, NewsBuster Matthew Balan lashed out at Baltimore Sun television critic David Zurawik, complaining that Zurawik "didn't even wait a full 24 hours after Robert Novak's death to launch a stinging criticism of the former Crossfire host on the newspaper's website on Tuesday." Balan wrote: "Even the liberal CNN, who, as Zurawik noted, chose to not renew Novak's contract, paid tribute to the veteran columnist. That might give you a hint as to how much class, or lack thereof, the TV critic has."
OK, so Mr. Zurawik demonstrated a lack of "class" by criticizing Novak less than 24 hours after the storied political columnist passed away. When I read this, I found myself a little confused, given that when Chicago author and broadcaster Studs Terkel passed away on October 31, 2008, Mr. Balan's fellow NewsBuster Michael M. Bates couldn't wait 24 hours before posting a screed attacking Terkel as "a guy who wouldn't say whether he was a Communist and, apparently, a guy who -- charitably -- exaggerated a great deal."
But I decided to give NewsBusters a break, thinking that perhaps their "24 hour" standard for decency had evolved after Terkel passed away. But checking the website again this morning, I found that NewsBuster Tim Graham had posted an entry attacking 60 Minutes creator Don Hewitt -- who passed away yesterday -- as "a pioneer in hard-hitting liberal attack journalism" who kowtowed to "favored Democrats."
And this was after another NewsBuster, Brent Baker, heaped praise on Hewitt for once "reprimanding" Dan Rather.
So do they read their own blog? Who knows... What is certain is that they've piled hypocrisy on top of internal contradictions in pursuit of a confused product that, by their own standard, lacks "class."
I know it's only Tuesday, but this has to be the lamest allegation of media bias you'll see all week. Here's Newsbusters' Rich Noyes:
Gibson Worries: 'Will Obama Go to the Mat for a Public Option?'
August 18, 2009 - 11:40 ET
On Monday's World News, ABC's Charles Gibson channeled the worry of liberal activists over the Obama administration's seeming retreat on government-run health insurance, the so-called "public option." Gibson fretted about Obama to White House correspondent Jake Tapper: "Will he go to the mat for a public option?"
Was Gibson really "worrying" or "channeling" or "fretting"? Uh, no. He was asking a question. Asking the rather obvious question, actually. Here's the exchange in question:
JAKE TAPPER: The White House says the President has not backed off anything, he still thinks the public plan is the best way to do this, but he has not drawn any lines in the sand.
CHARLES GIBSON: But will he go to the mat for a public option? He says now it's just a sliver of health care reform. But earlier he said it's a lot more than that.
Pretty unremarkable. Yet Noyes sees it as evidence of ... something.
Newsbusters' Tom Blumer sees some kind of liberal media conspiracy of silence in the lack of media coverage of a Gallup poll finding that more people self-identify as "conservative" than "liberal" at the state level as well as nationally. Blumer seems to think this finding has great significance, though Gallup provides no historical data for comparison, so we don't know which way things are trending.
And, as I've mentioned a time or two in the past, such labels are so imprecise and meaningless to many if not most Americans that these self-ID questions are of limited value. Indeed, the Gallup poll itself provides evidence that these questions don't mean much: Gallup finds that even in Massachusetts and Vermont more people self-identify as "conservative" than "liberal."
But Blumer thinks this one-off poll that is quite consistent with years and years worth of national-level polling is hugely important. Maybe that's because he doesn't really "get" how polling works. Here's Blumer:
The margins may not be "statistically significant," but the reported result still shows conservatives on top in HI (+5), VT (+1) and MA (+1). I also have to wonder how you can have a 5-point or more margin of error in a poll of 160,000 people. [Emphasis added]
Wonder no longer, Blumer:
Results are based on telephone interviews with 160,236 national adults, aged 18 and older, conducted Jan. 2-June 30, 2009, as part of Gallup Daily tracking. For results based on the total sample of national adults, one can say with 95% confidence that the maximum margin of sampling error is ±1 percentage point.
The margin of sampling error for most states is ±3 percentage points, but is as high as ±7 percentage points for the District of Columbia, and ±6 percentage points for Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, Delaware, and Hawaii.
That little bit of explanation was carefully hidden in the Gallup article Blumer linked to and quoted. On the first page. Under the heading "Survey Methods." A heading that was presented in bold font.
Oh, boy. Now Newsbusters' Brent Baker is upset that former CNN reporter Bob Franken describes disruptive protesters who hang a congressman in effigy as "a crazed group of people" and a "mob."
... Brent Baker fires up his computer:
CBS and NBC targeted Rush Limbaugh -- NBC's Kelly O'Donnell charged "some anger...gets stoked by the provocative megaphone of Rush Limbaugh, who went so far as accusing Democrats of wanting the socialized medicine of Nazi Germany" -- without bothering to acknowledge Limbaugh was reacting to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi who first put Nazi comparisons into play by accusing the opponents of "carrying swastikas and symbols like that to a town meeting on health care." [Bold and ellipses in original]
Got that? Rush Limbaugh accuses Democrats of wanting to duplicate the policies of Nazi Germany -- but according to Brent Baker, it was "Nancy Pelosi who first put Nazi comparisons into play." How did she do that? She pointed out that health care opponents have brought swastikas and other similar symbols to health care meetings.
Seems to me that Nancy Pelosi cannot be said to have "first put Nazi comparisons into play" if she was talking about the fact that conservatives had already used Nazi imagery. Newsbusters, apparently, uses an activist interpretation of the word "first."
Not to mention the fact that Baker can't see the qualitative difference between comparing something to the Nazis and denouncing Nazi comparisons.
Newsbusters' Seton Motley couldn't have screwed this one up more badly if he had tried. The right-wing media critic picked a fight with New York Times columnist Paul Krugman, but only succeeded in making himself look like a fool.
Here's Motley, trying to ridicule Krugman's column about Toyota deciding to open a new plant in Ontario, Canada:
Krugman's Nobel-prize winning economic mind then offers up:
So what's the impact on taxpayers? In Canada, there's no impact at all: since all Canadians get government-provided health insurance in any case, the additional auto jobs won't increase government spending.
Really? Adding workers brought in from outside Canada to the government rolls won't increase government spending? A little of Krugman's new math: X plus 5,000 still somehow equals X.
Who said anything about "Adding workers brought in from outside Canada"? Not Krugman. In fact, Krugman specifically wrote that Toyota chose Canada in part because of the quality of Ontario's work force.
Motley then purported to rebut a Krugman point about the quality of health care in Canada and the U.S. But while Krugman cited an actual study that used, you know, actual data and stuff to measure the effectiveness of various health care systems, Motley "rebutted" it by assertion:
The key words being "timely" and "effective" - two words never associated with government medicine.
OK, Motley didn't have data or studies to point do -- but he did have bold and italics to bolster his case. He must be right.
Then, at the end, Motley suggests Krugman do "a little due diligence and some rudimentary research."
We frequently point out the various ways in which our friends at NewsBusters reveal themselves to be sub-par media critics, and -- wouldn't you know it - we found another one. And it's a pretty good one, too. Yesterday, NewsBusters' Clay Waters observed that the New York Times had dismissed the Birthers as conspiracy theorists, but couldn't bring themselves to do the same for the 9/11 Truthers, to whom the paper showed "respect." Waters wrote:
Media reporter Brian Stelter's Saturday Business story, "A Dispute Over Obama's Birth Lives On in the Media," questioned those questioning Obama's birth certificate, his citizenship, and his resulting eligibility for the presidency. Good for the Times. But where is the Times's critcism when liberals gin up wackier conspiracy theories?
Back in June 2006, Times reporter Alan Feuer showed far more respect to a conspiracy theory many times more incendiary and implausible: That the 9-11 attacks were an inside job, that the controlled demolition of the World Trade Center towers and the Pentagon were engineered by President Bush. Yet not once did Feuer dismiss the 9-11 Truthers bizarre charge as a "conspiracy theory," as Stelter did in the first line of his Sunday piece on the Birthers.
First of all, the 2006 Times article doesn't come anywhere close to conferring "respect" on the 9/11 Truthers - Feuer observed that one of the ringleaders lived in a cave, that another recites profanity-laced Roman history, and that the crux of their entire argument is undermined by thorough scientific analysis. But as to Waters' specific claim that Feuer never "dismissed" the Truthers as conspiracy theorists, let's take a look at Feuer's article, with relevant portions highlighted:
In fairness to Waters, nobody really reads headlines anyway...
Newsbusters' Brent Baker provides still more evidence that the conservative media critique is fundamentally absurd. Baker is upset that "Time magazine's online staff certainly undermined any notion of impartiality in how they littered the posted version of this week's cover story, 'Inside Bush and Cheney's Final Days,' with the links they chose to display between paragraphs and at page breaks of the article."
Baker's first example?
Others, however, reflected hostility and/or derision toward the two key players in the story, George W. Bush and Dick Cheney, starting with "Visit RottenTomatoes.com for reviews of W., Oliver Stone's 2008 portrait of George W. Bush" and "Read 'Leahy's Plan to Probe Bush-Era Wrongdoings.'"
Wow. That's Baker's strongest evidence that Time's link package demonstrated liberal bias? The fact that a Time article about Bush mentions the fact that the chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee is considering investigations into Bush-era wrongdoing? A link to a movie review web site? Pretty weak stuff. But Baker's argument gets weaker from there:
The "See the top 10 unfortunate political one-liners" link goes to a collection which includes George H.W. Bush's pledge to not raise taxes: "Read my lips: no new taxes."
Baker forgets to mention this, but the list also includes two Bill Clinton quotes and one each from LBJ and Jimmy Carter. What the heck is Baker's point?
The link for "See pictures of polarizing politicians on LIFE.com" brings readers to a collection which has Ted Kennedy, Hillary Clinton and Al Sharpton, but also George W. Bush, Sarah Palin, Rudy Giuliani and Ronald Reagan.
Wait. Uh ... what? That's an "Anti-Bush and Cheney Potshot Link"?
Media conservatives have been fearmongering over health care reform, baselessly claiming that it will result in the denial of care, or, in the words of Laura Ingraham, "death camps" for the elderly.
Newsbusters' Rich Noyes is irritated that ABC, CBS, and NBC all decided not to devote their news broadcasts to coverage of the 40th anniversary of Sen. Edward Kennedy's car accident at Chappaquiddick.
I know, I know -- you think I'm making this up. The conservative media critique can't possibly boil down to whining that news broadcasts fail to "report" on the anniversary of Chappaquiddick. But it does:
While the big liberal media usually find it hard to skip any news related to the Kennedy family, ABC, CBS and NBC breathed not a word about Saturday's 40th anniversary of Chappaquiddick.
The Saturday and Sunday New York Times and Washington Post also had nothing about Chappaquiddick.
Wow, conservative-style media criticism is easy! Let's give it a try: Other "anniversaries" the "big liberal media" doesn't report on: the "anniversary" of the time Newt Gingrich dumped his wife in her hospital room so he could marry his mistress and the "anniversary" of Pat Buchanan's memo in support of segregation. Bias!
Newsbusters' Noel Sheppard:
In another example of Barack Obama's appeal diminishing with the public, the White House was forced to reschedule Wednesday's press conference to 8PM from 9PM as NBC didn't want its summer hit "America's Got Talent" to be pre-empted.
Do you think Sheppard really doesn't understand that NBC sells ads during "America's Got Talent," but not during presidential press conferences? Do you think he really doesn't understand that this isn't an "example of Barack Obama's appeal diminishing with the public," but rather an example of NBC preferring to make a bunch of money rather than not make any money?
From a July 15 NewsBusters.org entry:
Newsbusters' Warner Todd Huston complains about Jeffrey Toobin's reference to Ruth Bader Ginsberg as a "cautious and careful liberal":
In his July 13 piece, for instance, Toobin calls Sotomayor a "cautious and careful liberal" like Ginsburg and Breyer.
Since when is Ginsburg a "cautious and careful liberal"? She was, after all, once the chief litigator for women's rights for the extremely leftist group the ACLU. The reason she was picked by President Bill Clinton to take a seat on the Court is because she was an activist liberal. Not "cautious" in the least.
Well, that would be news to conservative Republican Senator Orrin Hatch, who recommended that Clinton choose Ginsburg. And it would be news to Yale Law School professor Paul Gewirtz, whose study found that from 1994 to 2005, Ginsberg was the second least activist member of the Supreme Court - far less activist in her votes than Clarence Thomas and Antonin Scalia, among others.
But never mind those inconvenient facts: Warner Todd Huston says Bill Clinton chose Ginsburg "because she was an activist liberal." So it must be true. Warner Todd Huston wouldn't just make that up.

Because ArtRage is designed to work like real painting and drawing tools, it can be used by almost anyone. The interface is easy to understand and gets out of the way while you are working so you don't spend time configuring panels when you could be painting. What's more, it's fun to smoosh around paint and blend colors right there on the canvas.
Beginners: If you're new to painting and drawing, you can take advantage of the Tracing Image system to import a photo as a guide while painting. Let ArtRage pick colors from the image for you and you can focus on your brushwork and developing your skills. Tools like Glitter or ArtRage Studio and Studio Pro's Stickers make creating craft projects on your computer easy and fun.
Teachers: If you're an art teacher, ArtRage can be a great bridge between working on paper and working on a computer. Take the skills you've taught on paper and see how those work on the computer before branching out and exploring more technical features like layers. The focus on natural creativity in ArtRage frees students from fiddling with pixels and lets them develop their art.
Traditional Artists: If you're a traditional
artist who has avoided digital art tools, you'll find ArtRage
pleasantly familiar. Rather than spending time learning a whole
new set of tools and methods, you can take many of your familiar
techniques and work with them inside the software. Lay down blobs
of color and blend them with a palette knife, and work with settings
that reflect how you work with real pigment. You can even pin
reference images to your canvas while you work.
Prototype your paintings in ArtRage without needing to
spend money on canvas or pigment, and use your computer
as a companion to your traditional work rather than a replacement.
Digital Artists: If you're a digital artist who wants to add some natural paint to your images, you can still work with layers, blend modes and other digital tools. ArtRage Studio and Studio Pro offer selection tools, flood fills, and text to make the workflow easier. Support for PSD images imported and exported with their layers, groups, blend modes, and text layers intact makes it easy to use ArtRage alongside your other applications.
Because the interface gets out of the way as you work, the size of your screen isn't as important. You can dismiss the entire interface with a single mouse tap if you want even more room. ArtRage Studio and Studio Pro have been additionally optimized to give you access to as many important features as possible in a very small area of the screen.
If you have a touch screen you can work directly on the canvas to further heighten the experience. If you have a Multitouch screen you can use familiar shortcuts to navigate your canvas and control the interface.

The Centre for Contemporary Theatre at Birkbeck is pleased to announce the first of its events on patronage this year, will take place on Thursday 6th of December from 7-8.30pm at room G03, 28 Russell Square, Birkbeck College (entrance to the room is via 26 Russell Square). This event will consider the history of patronage at the theatre. Speakers include:
- Dr Lucy Munro (Keele) on early modern patronage
- Dr Gilli Bush-Bailey (Royal Holloway) on 19th century patronage
- Dr Theron Schmidt (Kings) on contemporary forms of patronage.
The event will be chaired by Christopher Cook, broadcaster and arts
journalist and a Birkbeck Research Fellow.
Rather than focussing on funding per se, this event will consider the
myriad forms of patronage that have operated at varying moments the
theatre: advocacy, guardianship, protection, canonicity, market-led
forms of patronage etc.
This event is the first of a series at Birkbeck this year. Future events
will consider patronage from the perspectives of: unpaid labour; urban
renewal and gentrification; the media as a patron; and voluntary and
charity work at the theatre. Further details of these events will be
publicised shortly.
This event is free and does not need to be booked.
for further information please contact Aoife Monks at firstname.lastname@example.com.

This article examines the extent to which smoking prevalence varies across geographic areas, specifically communities, health regions, and provinces/territories in Canada, independent of individual characteristics.
Using data from the Canadian Community Health Surveys conducted between 2001 and 2008, researchers examined current cigarette smoking among adults aged 18 years and older. The final sample included 461,709 adults in 49,088 communities. Independent variables of income, education, and occupation were included as measures of socioeconomic status (SES). Contextual variables considered included provincial cigarette taxes, workplace smoking banks, and collective family norms discouraging smoking in communities.
After accounting for individual, socioeconomic, and demographic characteristics, geographic variation remained. This indicates the importance of place, and suggests that area-level influences should be considered in working to decrease rates of smoking.

After Daughter's Accident, Naperville Mom Asks Drivers For Caution Near Cyclists
After her daughter was hit while riding her bicycle in late April, Debbie Zimmerman is asking drivers to slow down this summer and take care around cyclists and pedestrians.
On a warm afternoon late last month, Debbie Zimmerman's 16-year-old daughter went out for a bike ride. Zimmerman's daughter had ridden the path through Springbrook Prairie many times before.
On that April afternoon, Zimmerman received a phone call no parent wants. A car had hit her daughter. After spending nearly two hours in the emergency room, Zimmerman brought her daughter home. But, weeks later, her daughter is still recovering from the accident.
With summer on its way and the warm weather bringing out more cyclists and runners, Zimmerman wants drivers and cyclists to be more cautious and aware when they are out riding on Naperville's streets or paths.
"I can't tell you how frustrated and sad this whole situation makes me," Zimmerman said.
The driver who struck Zimmerman's daughter was ticketed for failure to yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk and failure to provide information, said Sgt. Gregg Bell of the Naperville Police Department.
The woman was not cited for a hit-and-run, though she did leave Zimmerman's daughter. Bell said the woman asked if the teen was OK before leaving and offered to give her a ride. Zimmerman said her daughter was not about to take a ride with someone who had hit her and who she didn't know.
The fact that someone hit her daughter and left without knowing if the girl would be OK incensed Zimmerman. Since the accident she has heard from many more friends who reported they have also been hit while cycling.
Zimmerman's daughter was going westbound on the path when she was hit while crossing at the intersection of Book Road and 75th Street. The car that struck her daughter was turning south onto Book Road and hit her head on.
Be predictable
While some may think getting hit from behind while cycling is the dominant type of crash, Ed Barsotti, executive director of the League of Illinois Bicyclists, said that kind of accident is actually fairly rare.
The accidents more likely to occur are those like Zimmerman's daughter encountered, he said.
"Accidents occur more at intersections and the reason for that is bicyclists may not be expected or may not be visible," Barsotti said. "If someone is biking off road, if their route is against traffic they are more likely to get hit. But the average person doesn't think that."
Cyclists have to be predictable when riding and they need to follow the rules of the road, he said.
"You have to ride your bike as if you are driving a car," Barsotti said. "You have to be predictable. If you are riding in a predictable pattern traffic adjusts to you fairly well."
Motorists may not stop at the stop line at an intersection and may not notice a cyclists or a pedestrian trying to cross, he said.
Two other main mistakes motorists make are the right and left hooks, he said. The right hook occurs when a motorist speeds around a cyclist and then turns right in front of them, often underestimating speed. The left hook happens when a motorist is turning left in front of an oncoming cyclist that is going straight. They end up coming toward each other and the motorist turns left into the path of the cyclist.
"What we see is that both bicyclists and motorist have to learn a lot about coexisting," Barsotti said.
Coexisting on the road
Cycling through Naperville is for the most part a pleasant experience, said Todd Stocke, a local cycling advocate. Until recently Stocke was involved with the city's Bicycling Pedestrian Advisory Committee, which the city has recently eliminated.
The trickiest spots for riders in town are anywhere key trails meet major roads, Stocke said. He said there is a history of accidents taking place at Book Road and 75th Street, he said. Other areas where bike versus vehicle accidents often occur are at The DuPage River Trail crossings at Hobson and Bailey roads, and especially the newer crossing at Washington (just north of the river).
Though there is a lot of signage, the bike and pedestrian crossing at Book Road and 87th Street continues to be a spot where accidents take place, he said.
"The dangers at each of those spots are almost always with turning traffic," Stocke said. "Cars turning left rush to an opening only to find themselves face-to-face with legally crossing pedestrians or bikes. Right turners look left for cars but not at bikes or pedestrians right next to them. And right turners that fail to stop before the intersection, instead rolling right into the crosswalk (they're always surprised that someone might actually be in that crosswalk)."
Not all of the accidents are caused by motorists alone, Stocke said.
"The dangers can just as easily be caused by cyclists and pedestrians, most specifically by those who fail to use marked crossings, or fail to obey signals. Those riders give the majority of us a bad name," he said.
A new danger
As if it weren't enough for cyclists to keep an eye out for drivers and vice-versa, Stocke said there's an even bigger concern on the roads: Driver's who text.
"As a cyclist, I used to think drivers on cell phones caused the biggest risk to me," Stocke said. "They've been replaced by drivers who are texting. Invariably the cars that don't keep their lanes, that swerve unpredictably, and that roll intersections have something in their hands (and it ain't the steering wheel)."
Nearly two weeks after her daughter's accident, Debbie Zimmerman is concerned about her daughter's recovery. She has memory lapses and has been seeing physical therapists twice a week for rehabilitation.
She wishes the city of Naperville was making more of an effort to be pedestrian- and bike-friendly, particularly outside of downtown. She said she believes the motorist who hit her daughter got away with minor citations.
Zimmerman said part of the problem could be the way people in Naperville talk on the phone, text and rush around all the time.
"Maybe everyone just needs to take a deep breath and watch the world around them," Zimmerman said. "Keep people safe this summer. Leave 5 minutes early and be prepared to stop and wait. If everyone took a few minutes to be a safer driver, think of the difference it would make to our 'kid-friendly' city."

They should have to be insured also. I would never catagorize with saying "ALL" but a lot of the bicyclist think they can just ride wherever. They don't stop at stop signs nor stoplights if it's clear traffic for them to get across. Try doing that with your motor vechicle. I've also seen them go around buses. Bicyclist are required, just as motor vechicles, to wait for the arm of the bus to retract. This particular intersection talked about in this article should not even be an option for bikes. That path should be closed off. Even down the road just a short distance where the path crosses over Book Road at 83rd... time and time again I see the bicyclist just sail on across the road. Now that the light is in there, it has helped somewhat. And it's not just the bicyclists, runners, too. They don't want to slow down. It's not ALWAYS the motorists fault, but they are the ones who always seem to get the blame. And bicyclist that ride in groups.. SINGLE FILE please. 5 abreast is just asking for trouble, yet I also see this especially along 119th, and 127th (west of 59).

This means bike riders need to:
A. Stop at stoplights and stop signs.
B. Signal when turning.
C. Yield to DO NOT WALK signals at crosswalks.
D. Ride with the direction of traffic not against.
It also demands a hint of common sense. A 20 lb. bike isn't a 700 lb. fully loaded Harley Davidson . You're an idiot to pull into the left turn lane at Ogden & River to make a left turn on Ogden. You're in a safer place if you DISMOUNT, walk across at the crosswalks then proceed in the roadway.
There's too many cycle jerks in Naperville. They play "get in your face" while violating every bike rule of the road on the books. Many cities have adopted a "share the road, share the rules" approach and bike riders are getting citations for their carelessness and arrogance.
I agree with Butch! There ought to be a license tag (TAX) for adult size bikes that typically "share" the road. There also ought to be a law requiring joggers to wear highly visible vests when jogging on the streets too!

Every time one of these accidents happen, motorists carry on about the idiots on bikes who ride through red lights or stop signs as if they are some kind of menace to society even though the motorist has a couple thousand pounds of steel and glass protecting them, while the cyclist might have a few ounces of plastic and foam on their head.
It got me thinking: Has anyone ever read an article about someone on a bicycle disobeying a traffic signal, slamming into someone driving a 2,000+ pound vehicle and seriously injuring or killing the person inside that vehicle while walking away without a scratch? I sure haven't.

Wow.... your mommy really trained you how to whine like a spoiled brat now didn't she? By being an unsafe bike rider, you become a menace to yourself. You get hurt and it's everybody else's fault.
"Denial ain't just a river in Egypt!"
FYI.... I have all the respect in the world for bikers who play by the rules.

Did I say I myself was an unsafe bike rider? No. I'm simply stating something you don't ever read about. I'm not really interested in getting maimed or killed because of my own negligence. I'm also not commenting anonymously, so feel free to google my name and stumble across my blog where I've talked at length about bike safety, about accidents in Illinois where cyclists have been killed while obeying the rules of the road while the driver only getting slapped on the wrist with "improper lane usage" tickets — not to mention the close calls I've personally had around Naperville since I started riding seriously a few years ago. And if you ever see a cyclist out on the road with neon green shoe covers that you might feel like you need sunglasses to look directly at, that's me, and I'm wearing them because of too many cars not giving me the 3 feet that the law requires as they pass me, or ignoring my right-of-way when I stop at a stop sign and it is my turn to proceed through, or simply just not seeing me because they aren't paying attention.
There are violators of the law on both sides of this issue, but the fact of the matter is that cyclists and pedestrians are the only ones who will end up injured and killed between a collision with a vehicle — whether it's their fault or the driver's.
3:05 pm on Tuesday, May 15, 2012
Cyclists have the right to be on the road, so do cars, trucks, etc. So, if it's on the road, it should require license and insurance. Not all bicyclists ignore the laws, but I would venture to guess it's a very high percentage. Very tired of these bicyclists riding down the major highways. I agree with Analyze This - get off the bike, walk it across and then be on your merry way. Putting a 20# bike in the middle of traffic so you can turn left is just asking for trouble. I love to bike, but I stay on the paths. Unfortunately the US isn't set up for riding the bikes on the roadways in very many places. I saw one guy riding down I-88 a few weeks back.

In this case the girl wasn't turning left. She was crossing with the light and the driver who hit her didn't wait for her to get across the road before turning right hitting the teen. The cyclist was visible. She wasn't being evasive. She had the right of way.
The Sentinel
3:31 pm on Tuesday, May 15, 2012
First...Kotes, shut the @#$% up.
Second: Thanks Mary Ann.
Third: I ride MY bike every day on a 5-mile look along residential streets. I ride int eh same ddirection as cars, stop for stop sighns WHEN THERE ARE CARS PRESENT, and ofetn will STOP for cars who want to turn in front of me. I also never ride across an intersection but always wait for the walk signal. And I am going blind.
That said, I cannot temm you how MANY cars pass me with just inches to spare. Often, if I pull into a traffic lane just to pass a parked car, cars behind me often speed by in the hopes of beating me to the parked car and THEN to a stop sign. AND...I get the finger more times than I GIVE it. In short, many drivers just don't care about bikers. I'd also like to remind those here that nikers are NOT supposed to use sidewalks to ride on. So it's either on the street or stay at home and I'll be damned if I'll stay at home.
Analyze This
4:06 pm on Tuesday, May 15, 2012
Sentinal.... You are right. There is a significant number of drivers who son't give a rat's bottom half about bikers. To them I say you aren't in too big of a hurry to not kill or maim someone. Get off your freaking cel phone and pay attention!
Analyze This
3:53 pm on Tuesday, May 15, 2012
Stopping at the light and stop signs are mandatory however, you can blow through them all day until you get caught! I watch bikers blow through both even when cars are present. Somewhere in my files I have video evidence.
The Sentinel
4:08 pm on Tuesday, May 15, 2012
Yeah, and stopping for red lights and stop signs is mandatory for car too yet plenty of motorists blow through them on a regular basis.
4:10 pm on Tuesday, May 15, 2012
I also agree.. No arguement about the accident. I believe the cyclist was in the right. The Sentinel... GROW UP.. .obviously your Mother didn't teach you well. This is a discussion, not an arguement. I feel sorry for you that the only way you can make a point is in your "fake" words (cuz we all know what @#$% means), Go preach it to God.
The Sentinel
4:29 pm on Tuesday, May 15, 2012
Kotes: Who's arguing. I was expressing MY point. Obviously your mother didn't teach YOU well. Obviously I CAN make my point is to use @#$% OTHERWISE, you fool, I'd have been bounced. You can't take a little criticism, huh. Tch tch, shame on you. If you felt this is a discussion, then you wouldn't have commented what YOU said to me. You'd have let it go. YOU turned it into an arguement, not me. Maybe you need a time-out. Go take one.
Analyze This

I have a problem with those types. Sit at River and Oswego sometime and watch them run through those stop signs five in a row within the shadows of the NPD. By the way, most Naperville cops blow most stop signs even when they know they're being seen by the public.

No sparks flying here as far as I'm concerned. But you better ask Kotes.
And I doubt you'll see me at any peace rally.
4:54 pm on Tuesday, May 15, 2012
Sit on Book and 83rd and watch them blow through the light. Shoot, you can say that just about at any intersection. Again, it's not all, but it happens more often than not. Back in the 60's we had to have a tag for our bikes, in Naperville. I don't recall the cost of it, but it was a tag you put, usually, on the rear of the bike frame. .
The Sentinel
5:27 pm on Tuesday, May 15, 2012
Whho blows thru them, the bikes...or the cars. If you want to be technical. it's both.
OOne thing Naperville did right was to put a bike "lane" on each side of McDowell. However, that hasn't stopped cars from "blowing by" about a foot from my left handlebar.
Analyze This
7:17 pm on Tuesday, May 15, 2012
Kotes.... This is a topical coincidence! About 6:30 (5/15) I was Northbound on Book from 87 th and as I was a approaching 83rd on a GREEN light, some guy on a bike zipped across against the RED going West about 100 feet ahead of me. There was nobody behind me and the light changed about 5 seconds after I cleared the intersection.
Yes, you are right about the bike tags. I also remember when officers Rowe and Zittnan came out to the schools for bike safety week. They had applications for the sticker with them and I think they were FREE or fifty cents at the most at the time.
Everything I learned at those safety classes I remember today even though I haven't ridden a bike for at least 20 years. Those who choose to ignore the rules or asssume everybody else is watching out for them are at risk.

The intersections at Hobson, Bailey and Washington on the new DuPage River Trail are pretty bad, I've seen incidents where a motorist is looking left to make the right turn on red and the bikers are crossing with the signal, the driver makes the turn and there's someone in the intersection crossing. Hate to predict something bad but it's a disaster waiting to happen. The River Trail's a nice ride, but was poorly planned....
5:01 pm on Tuesday, May 15, 2012
John..there are a lot of badly thought out trails around Naperville. The finally put a light at the one on 83rd and Book a few years back. They need a flasher or something to warn the bikes to stop...major highway or intersection ahead. There's only so much you can do. Same with motorists...there's always going to be a few that aren't using common sense or are pre-occupied with something else.
7:41 pm on Tuesday, May 15, 2012
Happens on a daily basis there. They don't even low down. Coming from foliage and brush on the west side...can't see them until they are about already flying by. Zittna ..there's a name i haven't heard in a long, long time. He was a stickler..whatever you did, you weren't going to talk you're way out of. Rich Rowe was a good one. He use to stop and buy lemonade from us when we were little.
Analyze This
8:44 pm on Tuesday, May 15, 2012
WOW... Our memories of those two are so fresh! Rowe caught me riding my motorized go-kart and retrieving a basketball from the roof at Beebe. Fortunately I never had a run-in with Zittnan but we encountered each other many times as I matured. There was a time I could name every cop on the NPD before it grew to the size it is now. I remember when Mayor Pradel was a rookie in 1966!
I grew up in the Saybrook subdivision, went to Beebe one year, then Washington JR., and graduated from NCHS when North was only freshman and sophomores. I'm guessing we are probably within a few years of each other.

We are 3 years different. :). Are you on facebook? There is an awesome page called Downtown Naperville, the way it use to be. Check it out if you haven't.

Dear friend,
Since I started this blog last year I have gotten several requests about offering papercut patterns on my Etsy store and today I am so excited to announce that I after many tests I finally put together the first four patterns for you to cut with your very own hands! Yay!!!! You can click on all the pictures bellow to see the larger versions.
This first series of 4 patterns includes:1 Red Riding Hood, 1 Alice in Wonderland, 1 Peter Rabbit and 1 Pinocchio. When finished, they will beautifully fit into 5"x7" frames or larger. You don't need to transfer or draw these patterns on any surface or anything like that because they are already printed on the exact professional paper that I use for my papercut pieces. This is a beautiful archival paper, 100% cotton, acid-free and the color is ivory. The pink color that you see in the pictures is the part that has been printed on the paper and that's exactly the part that we will need to cut out from the design. It couldn't get any easier :)
All you will need is a knife (I recommend an X-Acto knife with the #11 blade because they're the sharpest ones) and a self-healing cutting mat (they come in different colors and sizes). This is a great opportunity for you to give papercutting a try and right here I am going to guide you through the process of how you can cut these pieces all by yourself. These four pieces won't only make great gifts but they will also be a therapeutic activity for you. From my personal experience I can say that papercutting is one of the most relaxing things that I have done in my 38 years of life (and many more to come!)
Let's start by taking a look at this pattern featuring Peter Rabbit, this piece will be our example. Do you see the little numbers on it? Each number is a little "island" within the general design and we are basically going to cut out these little islands one at a time, following the numerical order. The little black broken lines that you notice here are just a way to turn large spaces into islands.
Before you start working on your first pattern I HIGHLY RECOMMEND to take a piece of paper and make some cuts on it, just to let your hand "warm up" a little bit. Hold the knife in the position that is most comfortable for you. I do it in the same way that I hold a pen. Below you will find a practice sheet that I designed specially for you to exercise a little bit your hand before you start cutting your actual pieces. You can download this sheet, and print it out on regular office paper:
Download Practice Sheet in JPG format
Download Practice Sheet in PDF format
Here you can see how I just cut out the island #1. You will be doing this with your knife and my number one advice is: enjoy the process and relax. Imagine that you're a surgeon and you are doing an exciting "operation" in order to bring your pattern to life :) While making the cuts, hold the paper with your other hand for more control and rotate it whenever is needed.
Here I just cut island #2, one cut at a time.
And so on...The key is to relax and enjoy the process :)
After all the islands have been cut we will have some smaller details to work on, I didn't number them, we just need to cut them out after you're done with the islands. Here I want to tell you a little secret about how to cut the eye: instead of doing a circular cut make short straight cuts, one next to the other around the edge of the circle. In this picture you can see how I did it.
When you look at the piece your eye will see a nice little circle :) The little straight cuts won't be visible. You see them in this picture because this is a close up.
So, after the inner part of the design has been cut out we are now ready to cut the outer silhouette of the apple. And this is very easy too.
An in order to do that I illustrated another little secret for you: how to cut curves. In order to cut curved lines without accidents all you need is to do it gradually, don't try to cut a looooong line because it is very possible to go wrong and ruin the design. See the example above and notice how I made my first little cut.
Then I looked through the window to see the flowers :) I took a nice breath and then I made the second little cut. Oh, I am so relaxed!
Then the third cut (I looked at the flowers again...) And before I realized I was already done cutting my Petter Rabbit piece. Yay!!!
It feels great when you see your little piece in front of you ready to frame :) You feel proud of yourself for having done the whole thing from the beginning to the end and then you feel that you can go out there in real life and do all the things that you need to do in the same way: one "cut" at a time, enjoying the process.
Now you understand why I haven't been able to stop making papercuts. Once you make one with the right state of mind then you will want to make more complicated ones. Stay tuned because I will be designing new ones. I am going from basic to advanced level. Yay!!!!
I wish you all my best in your papercutting adventure!!
Elsita :)
note: If you have any question, any recommendation about what other patterns I should design...just leave me a comment here in this post :)

At the event, 'Silence of the Panda' by Wilfried Huismann was screened for the first time in Belgium. This film, currently forbidden in Germany, focuses on the pro-industry strategies followed by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), accused by many of helping corpotations to greenwash their image with flawed 'green' labels. Parts of the movie are available on youtube.
At the doorstep of Ahold's sustainability office in Amsterdam, speakers from various organisations like FIAN (Netherlands) and Wervel (Belgium) highlighted the major flaws of the certification approach. In an indoors conversation beforehand, Byrnes had to admit that the only 'advantage' of participating in the Roundtable is 'to be talking' with the soy producers.

Playon picture goes black and loses sound
I have been using this plugin for years and I have been trying to diagnose with the playon tech support why while playing a show with netflix or hulu, the video and sound stops. If I restart the video, it will stop again in the exact same spot again unless I stop and restart the playon service. Playon tech support says it is a problem with sagetv(of course!). Anybody else have this problem and if you have fixed it can you tell me how. I have windows 7 home premium fresh install with the lastest versions of flash and playon.
Sage Tv Server-Amd 4200FX quad core, Asus Nvidia EN210 Silent Hdmi out , 8 Gig Ram ,(3) HVR-1800, 1 terrabyte storage. Media Server- 6 Terabytes on 5 drives, Amd x2 4400 8 gig ram, Windows 7 Home Premium both machines. |
I get the same experience but quite rarely, with Netflix. I have just lived with it but at least you figured out to restart the PlayON server. I have waited a day or 2 and the video then plays properly to the end -- not so great for the climax of a great movie. PlayOn tech support have been helpful to me a couple of times but they do sometimes blame Sage, when it turns out to be PlayOn. Updates to PlayON inevitably fix the issues I experience but not that one yet.
My Sage Server runs on Windows 7 Professional, BTW. I too have all the latest updates for Flash and so on. |

Mervue United -v- Finn Harps
Thu, Aug 30 2012MERVUE UNITED
It's been an up and down journey for Mervue since the mid-season break as wins over Wexford and Athlone saw them looking upwards with realistic ambitions of a mid-table finish.
Since then the wheels have come off with defeats to Waterford and Longford either side of a particularly disappointing loss to local rivals, and fellow basement strugglers, SD Galway.
With a quarter-final spot in the FAI Cup up for grabs in their re-scheduled fixture against Waterford on Monday, Johnny Glynn could be heading into the clubs most important four days of the season.
A win at home against Harps could give them all important breathing space as they battle to keep their city rivals in bottom position but focussing his side with the upcoming cup-tie looming, and a potential reward of a trip to the Brandywell to face Derry City in the next round may prove a difficult job.
They will also have to contend with the loss of defender Mike Elwood who must serve a one-game suspension for yellow cards received.
Harps make the journey south looking to extend their unbeaten run to eight games, no doubt buoyed with confidence after taking four points from their last two encounters which came against teams in the top three.
Unfortunately for Harps fans their run of good form has come too late to force their way into the top three, and a promotion play-off spot, barring a spectacular collapse from one the teams above them.
Peter Hutton will, however, demand a strong finish from his team knowing they can strengthen their hold on fourth spot with a win, a position that seemed unlikely only a month ago.
To do so, they will have to improve considerably on their last performance in Fahy's field when they were comprehensively beaten by three goals to nil.
Speaking to the club website Hutton cautioned his team not to underestimate the opposition because of their lowly league position:
"It's a potential banana skin. The last time we went down to Mervue they thoroughly beat us. It was actually a very embarrassing performance if anything. They comfortably beat us. They have a few fresh faces in now since the transfer window and they also have a couple of lads back from long-term injuries so they're going to be a difficult side. I think they're in a false position given the quality they have in their team."
The manager will have to plan without the suspended trio of Thomas McBride, Kevin McHugh and Aaron O'Hagan. Gary Merritt, Tommy Bonner and Paul McVeigh are all doubts, while Michael Funston remains sidelined.
Referee: Ray Matthews
Harps have lost all of their last four visits to Mervue, including a 3-0 reversal at Fahy's Field at the end of April.
Mervue's Alan Murphy has scored in the last two games against Harps. He got one in the three goal home victory and netted twice when they went down 3-2 in Ballybofey.
Mervue gained their first ever LOI point in their third game of the 2009 season following a 1-1 draw with Finn Harps at Terryland Park as Conor Gethins denied the Galway club a first win with a 91st minute equaliser.
Mervue United 15/8 Draw 9/4 Finn Harps 13/10.
Harps to extend their winning run as Mervue dream of cup success, Mervue United 1-2 Finn Harps.

Location :
Santee, California
Santee Lakes Recreation Preserve
[ 5/10 ]
Rate reflects month long stay with metered electricity. Parking lot style camping in the long-term "big rig" area. We were unable to reserve a better (or Lake Side) spot on-line since they only allow long-term in certain sites. After speaking to some long-term residents they pay "extra" to hold their prime spots when they have to leave for the required 2 week period as set by CA or local law. So, most likely those prime water front spots will never be open for anyone else. Wi-fi was frustratingly poor and our spot did not have cable, but we paid the same rate. Nice lakes and walking loop and great location. The sites further back were very, very nice,but not long term, or at least not available to us. Although we loved the ducks and other water fowl we would not stay here again...not worth it for parking lot spaces.
Radium Springs, New Mexico
Leasburg Dam State Park
[ 9/10 ]
Reservation sites are pull-through, off street style parking that is slightly less private feeling than the first-come/first-serve sites (we stayed in both during this visit). All sites have covered and cement patios and fire pits. Our first spot (#19) had great; (free) wi-fi reception, but site #6 was spotty. Showers and bathrooms very clean. Great hiking to the dam. The towns of Hatch, Mesilla and Las Cruces are all close by (15 miles). Loved it so much we extended our stay 5 additional days. We will definitely return here. Price reflects water and electric (30amp) hookups. Dry camping sites available for $10/night.


text: We spent three nights midweek with Jan at the John Easton House. The location is perfect for walking to the water or to the mansions, shopping on Bellevue Drive, the Tennis Hall of Fame, and restaurants. The rooms were comfortable and very clean. Breakfast is served at 9:00 AM, so don't plan to get started on your day before 10:00... More

Vacationer Bring Summer Vibes
On Friday, May 18th, Last.fm Live In NYC capped a brilliant week of IW NY events with a night of feelgood rock music at the Studio at Webster Hall. Vacationer celebrated their first headlining gig in NYC with Last.fm and a packed house; their feelgood summery vibes had the entire room singing along and dancing, which gave way to a killer DJ set of classic funk from Body Language. Rising rockers Magic Wands opened the night with a set of blissed-out blasted pop, like Best Coast meets Phil Spector's wall of sound.
Lucky for you, we recorded both artists' sets and have two of the choicest songs to share – for free! Grab stellar live versions of Vacationer's 'Trip' and Magic Wands' 'Space' via MP3.com.
Where you at the show? Head to our event page and post a comment or review, we'd love to hear what YOU thought of the gig. See you next month…

Baseball scores A for race hiring, C+ for gender
Ron Washington of the Texas Rangers, center, is one of five minority managers in MLB. / Rob Carr/Getty Images
(CBS/AP) NEW YORK - Major League Baseball received a high grade for racial diversity among its employees but a middling mark when it comes to hiring women.
Baseball received its fourth straight A for race hiring in the annual report by Richard Lapchick's Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sports at the University of Central Florida.
MLB's grade for gender hiring fell to C+ from B- last year and a B in 2010. Baseball got an F among team vice presidents and a D among senior administration.
"It was primarily at the team level," Lapchick said Wednesday. "There was a significant drop in the percentage of women in professional positions at the team level."
Lapchick, who has been conducting his study since 1988, recommends that MLB Commissioner Bud Selig direct teams to consider minorities and women of color for all front-office jobs, following the example set when he told them they must look at minorities when filling openings for manager and general manager. Baseball's central office was given an A+ for race and a B+/A- for gender.
"If they were able to get the teams to adopt that for all senior administration and professional positions, I think that would change things rather quickly," he said.
With the sale of the Houston Astros and the departure of Pam Gardner as president of business operations, there are no female team presidents or CEOs.
Among management, Lapchick cited as an improvement next week's purchase of the Los Angeles Dodgers by a group that includes former Lakers star Magic Johnson. However, Johnson will not be the team's controlling owner or CEO.

The percentage of black players increased to 8.8 from 8.5, which had been the lowest level since 2007.
Lapchick told CBSNews.com that he thinks major league baseball is committed to providing resources to reverse the trend. "But their programs will take time and we may have lost an entire generation before things can substantially change," he added.

The percentage of Latino players remained at 27 percent.
Lapchick said the decline in minority managers from six to five was within normal yearly fluctuations.
