The games involving the elite teams were generally snoozefests, blowouts without much to write home about. Thankfully, it was a week in which there were some great stories to talk about elsewhere, however, including some involving teams which are playoff contenders and others who might have just had their big moment for the year. Pat and Keith talk about some of the interesting stories in this week's Around the Nation podcast.

Maybe you went 9-1 and missed the playoffs in 2012, or maybe you went 0-10 and … well, missed everything. Maybe you had a fantastic season last year and hoisted some kind of trophy, perhaps made of walnut and bronze. Regardless of what you did in 2012, though, that's over, and the new season is underway. Christopher Newport can celebrate, St. John's can breathe a sigh of relief and Mount Union can take it back to the drawing board and try again.

Triple Take: First onto the field
No comments · Posted by ryantipps in General, Triple Take
It's easy to feel a little envious of Division I schools – they got their season underway last weekend, and we've had to bide our time an extra week.
But now, the wait is over.
Division III football is up to 244 teams this fall, which means we will get to enjoy hundreds of games over the next 11 weeks, with dozens going on each Saturday.
If you haven't signed up for Kickoff 2013 already, please do so. It's D3football.com's preseason publication and is a great way to get introduced to the many things happening this year in Division III football. It has a slew of feature stories as well as rankings and interviews with coaches from every team in the nation.
D3football.com also brings you regional and national columns throughout the season, and every Friday morning, you'll be able to dive into the column you're reading right now, called Triple Take.
In Triple Take, Executive Editor and Publisher Pat Coleman, Managing Editor and National Columnist Keith McMillan and Senior Editor and former Mid-Atlantic Columnist Ryan Tipps break down some of the week's biggest games, sleeper teams and those who we're keeping an especially close eye on. From now until the Stagg Bowl, we'll take you well beyond the Top 25.
We open up Triple Take to comments in the section below, or feel free to take the conversation to Twitter using the hashtag #3take. Don't forget to follow us on Twitter: Pat (@d3football), Keith (@D3Keith) and Ryan (@NewsTipps).
Game of the week.
Ryan's take: No. 20 Widener at No. 5 Wesley. In Kickoff 2013, I foreshadowed a dropoff from Widener coming off an 11-win season. Here's the chance for the Pride to prove me wrong. Their challenges stem from some rebuilding spots on offense (quarterback and offensive line), and a new head coach who has yet to get his feet wet leading this team on game day. Wesley is not without its own question marks, but the Wolverines are a team that reloads more often than it rebuilds –- and is prime position to start moving hard into the season.
Keith's take: No. 20 Widener at No. 5 Wesley would have been my pick, but Ryan generously starts the blog post each week and gets first dibs. So even though there's plenty of intrigue about what kind of team Widener will be, we can stay within a 75-mile radius of Philadelphia and pull in another monster matchup with top 25 implications. Rowan at Delaware Valley pits a pair of three-loss teams last season (although the Profs picked up their third in the playoffs) with the majority of their outstanding defenses back. The Aggies have seven starters from the No. 9 unit in the country and the Profs eight from No. 42. Rowan turns to Paul Hammersma at quarterback and would seem to have the greater struggle to score points, but if the Profs' D slows QB Aaron Wilmer and Del Val, we'll have a great game that could be the springboard to someone's big season.
Pat's take: No. 19 Franklin at No. 1 Mount Union. It's the head coaching debut of Vince Kehres and we're going to learn a lot. A couple of key pieces return on offense, but after his arrest this week in an off-campus incident, Roman Namdar might not be making his debut at wide receiver. But I'd have to think that Kevin Burke at quarterback and Germany Woods at running back should have enough firepower on offense to make this an entertaining game, regardless of the experience of the offensive line.
Surprisingly close game.
Ryan's take: Washington and Jefferson at Wooster. The Scots tend to play up, and on paper, W&J is on a level above Wooster. If the Scots can establish a run game and make the Presidents give up some yards, there's certainly a good opportunity to keep this game within seven to 10 points.
Keith's take: UW-Eau Claire at No. 2 St. Thomas. Springfield and Western New England are surprisingly close geographically, as the Empire 8 and NEFC teams are in the same Massachusetts city. And that could be a good game. But I went Blugolds and Tommies because there's a reason Glenn Caruso schedules that game for his MIAC powerhouse. He knows the middle-of-the-WIAC Blugolds will take on anyone and give his team a good Week 1 test, regardless of the final score.
Pat's take (filed before Thursday's game): Loras at No. 22 Elmhurst. This isn't your older brother's Bluejays team, nor is it Josh Williams' older brother's Bluejays team. We might not see all the effects of Elmhurst losing a great senior class and a head coach, but I'm not sure they'll dominate Loras the way they should.
Most likely Top 25 team to get upset.
Ryan's take: No. 16 Salisbury. It's been a few years since Christopher Newport played "spoiler" to the Top 25, but these recent seasons have also seen the Captains beset by a ridiculous amount of injury, which has ended any season momentum before it even starts. There's a lot to be excited about with this CNU team, starting with the return of quarterback Lyndon Gardner, who was hurt for a good chunk of 2012. In turn, Salisbury is missing a few key pieces that will take some time to sort out, so the Captains could get the kind of win they haven't seen since the turn of the decade.
Keith's take: No. 24 St. John Fisher. This Cardinal-on-Cardinal action probably should have been my pick below for where a bird team is going to bite it, since I'd be guaranteed to be right. But SJFC's trip to Otterbein — 16 starters back from last year's 8-2 team — could mean a short stay in the top 25 for the Cardinals. Yes, those Cardinals.
Pat's take: No. 17 Johns Hopkins. I mean, I don't think Wittenberg losing to Butler would be an upset, although I certainly hope the Tigers can come away with a win against non-scholarship Butler. It's hard to know what to make of Randolph-Macon or anyone in the ODAC this year, but I give the Yellow Jackets a shot.
They'll be on your radar.
Ryan's take: Case Western Reserve. Even their losses last fall were tight because of how well the defense was able to keep the Spartans in their games. Well, consider most of that asset gone. Now, Case has to rely on its offense to provide a cushion when it can and to follow through and win games. The team is not going to do that until it can anoint a single quarterback that the team can rally around. There's some dicey matchups midway through the schedule for this to remain a question mark for too long.
Keith's take: Hardin-Simmons. Well it's Week 1. Darn near everybody is on "Hmm, I'm curious about them" status. Fresh programs Southwestern, Hendrix and Berry all play their first games at home. But forced to choose, HSU and No. 11 UW-Platteville are two non-playoff teams that could go a long way this year. Since the Cowboys have their opener in Oregon, against sometimes-pretty-good Willamette, they're the most intriguing watch of the week.
Pat's take: Lewis and Clark. And if for no other reason than the fact that the Pioneers are off the west coast and into a part of the country where those of you who don't stay up for the late games might learn something about them. It will be a Pioneering winner, for sure, whether that's L&C or Utica.
Which 2012 playoff team is going to end up wishing it had a Week 1 bye?
Ryan's take: St. Scholastica. Sure the Saints should be able to stand up to the competition in the UMAC and claim another conference championship, but Whitworth's defense will again be there to snuff out any spark early on in the opener.
Keith's take: Framingham State. I don't think they'll wish they had a bye, necessarily, but they might lose at Endicott. The Gulls won this game 34-7 last season, but the Rams played Salve Regina in the NEFC title game and advanced to the playoffs. I think Framingham State would be eager for another crack at Endicott, so maybe they don't fit perfectly in this category, but if I couldn't squeeze them in here, I wouldn't have mentioned the game at all. Melikke van Alstyne has made a name for himself in the Rams' backfield, and he's got four of his offensive line starters back.
Pat's take: Concordia-Chicago. An extra week of practice would probably suit this program just fine — they lost more than 50 players and the head coach from last year and came into training camp with a depth chart in extreme flux. Lake Forest and the Cougars had a great showdown last year but it won't be repeated.
Which bird will get bested?
Ryan's take: The Falcons of Concordia (Wis.). Concordia has a lot of things going well for it, including a solid group of returning players, to put the team in a prime position to compete for the top spot in the NACC. Hopes are high, and the expectations are not unreasonable. However, opponent Augsburg is a tough one right out of the gate. The Auggies, by their own right, are a team that's been steadily improving its stock year to year – and they play in a conference against the toughest schools in Minnesota. This game will be good — better than the one last year –- but the Falcons are going to have to have to wait till next week to put one in the win column.
Keith's take: The Seahawks of Salve Regina. I'll have you know I put 14 games on my "to watch" list, and there were Golden Bears and Beavers and Boxers and Bulldogs and Engineers and Cowboys and Saints and Soup Bowls and Backyard Brawls. But darned if I didn't have to get to the last game to get a bird team. By the way, Bridgewater State, our pick in Kickoff to win the MASCAC, has eight starters back on offense. Salve has all-American Phil Terio on defense, but lost five key starters and defensive-minded coach Bob Chesney.
Pat's take: The Eagles of Northwestern (Minn.). Not sure how good a year to expect out of St. Olaf but Northwestern is breaking in a new quarterback for the first time in a few years while the Oles are breaking in a new head coach.
Which long losing streak is likely to end?
Ryan's take: Hartwick. Certainly not the longest of down streaks to be riding, but the seven-game skid after opening 2012 with three wins had to have been disappointing for the Hawks. But that's not terribly far removed from the results of the past few seasons, since Jason Boltus quarterbacked the team back in 2008. Last fall, Hartwick crushed Husson in the season opener 55-14. There's no reason to think they aren't motivated to repeat the feat on Saturday.
Keith's take: McDaniel. Catholic and Western Maryland used to be one of the games of the year back in the days when I wrote the Around the Mid-Atlantic column. Now it's the game where I pick the Green Terror, which has lost 12 in a row but outdid Stevenson in a scrimmage and has star running back Joe Rollins prepped for a big final season, to break a losing streak. Go figure. Simple Daddy, don't you know that things move in cycles?
Pat's take: Maine Maritime. Thirteen losses in a row is a huge comedown for a team that was competitive in a 2009 playoff game at Montclair State. The Mariners losing to Anna Maria to start last season was a bit of a shocker and surely Maine Maritime is eager to not let that happen again.

I'm turning this blog into a Facebook group and using this blog page either for creative outbursts or insulting a bunch of jocks quickly and effectively. Keep the group alive, or don't, but it'd be cool you know, imagine if everyone was into it and it was actually very useful.
My energy levels shifted and now I can do things, like waking up before 3pm and working almost full time. It's much easier when there's a decent serotonin-release cutting through the fuzz. This is my first real job in years; I'd like to thank friends, family and nerve vitamins.
The web series is morte dans l'oeuf. I've been having vivid nightmares where Ashly and I were turning into a Musique Plus VJs and we were doing all these funky gestures...
- Hi! I'm Cristy Burger!
- And I'm Trashly!
- And we're sitting in a pile of dumpster meat!
Thanks for the incredible support throughout the years (have I done this before?). I just checked and this blog is 5 years old; I had no idea, but it makes sense. I remember starting it right after this shitty punk called JUSTIN WALSH from Newfoundland robbed me of about 900$. That was right before I went into hibernation on and off for about, oh, 5 years. Time goes by really fast when you think it isn't. Bah. Why am I even telling you this.

Why free Muni for youth makes sense
Supervisor Scott Wiener has gone out of his way to dis the plan to let kids ride Muni for free. His oped in the Chron April 9 argued that the city just doesn't have the money ($8 million):
We need to increase access to transportation for low-income youth, but a new and expensive obligation for Muni - at a time when Muni cannot pay for its basic operational needs and is expanding parking meters and increasing parking fines - is a bad idea.
But that misses the point -- and People Organized to Win Employment Rights is mounting a petition campaign to get Wiener back on track.
The Municipal Transportation Agency, which oversees Muni, failed to approve the plan the first time around, but the vote was tied with Commission Chair Tom Nolan absent, so it's still possible to move it forward. And on April 17, Sup. David Campos, who proposed the plan, and his allies will try again.
Yes, Muni is (perpetually) broke, and yes, deficits and cuts mean declines in service. But Campos has identified money to pay for the program without damaging operating and maintenance funds. Oh, and the parking meters get dragged in again:
The understandable public perception is that Muni is expanding parking meters to Sundays, adding new meters, and raising ticket prices not to pay for improvements to the system but rather to fund free Muni for all youth, even those who don't need the subsidy.
And the problem with that is ... what? People with cars ought to subsidize transit riders -- young, old and everything in between. It's really not that expensive to park at a meter in San Francisco, and now that most of them take credit cards, you don't have to carry $5 in quarters around with you. I drive a car myself, to ferry my kids around. I have no sympathy for people who pay to have a large motor vehicle in a transit-first city and don't want to pay for the impacts.
(Besides, what are all those religious people complaining about -- nobody pays to park for Sunday church anyway. They just park in the middle of the street.)
But put all of that aside for a minute and think about this: San Francisco spends all kinds of money, directly and indirectly, trying to convince people to ride Muni instead of driving. And one of the best ways to get new riders is to get kids started as transit users as soon as their parents decide they're old enough to get on the bus.
For us, that was sixth grade, when we bought my son a clipper card and told him we weren't leaving work early to pick him up (in the car) after school any more. I showed him how to find the Muni map on the web, showed him how to connect to NextBus on his phone, gave him a pat on the head (not really) and sent him off to explore the wonders of San Francisco public transit. It's worked like a charm: He takes the bus to his martial arts class, takes the bus to Cards and Comics to buy Magic Cards, takes the bus to the mall and to visit friends ... and now he knows more about the system than I do. He can navigate on his own anywhere in town -- and he loves it. It's freedom. Suburban kids have to wait until they're 16 and can get a driver's license to even begin to get that sense that they don't need parents in tow to go where they want to go.
Most of the teenagers I know in this city don't bother to learn to drive any more. They bike and they take the bus. That's a wonderful thing -- and San Francisco should do everything possible to encourage it.
And a great way to start is to invest a modest amount of money -- less than one percent of Muni's budget -- in training kids that the way to travel is by bus and train. Make it easy; make it free. Hell, half the middle-school kids who ride Muni never pay the fare anyway; they go in the back door and pocket the money that their parents gave them for bus fare so they can buy something they aren't supposed to have. It's the way of the world.
This isn't just a subsidy for kids who can't afford Muni, although that's a great thing and I'm all in favor. It's an investment in the future, a cheap step toward a future day when turning 16 isn't all about going to the DMV, and travel doesn't mean car travel -- and the streets of San Francisco are cleaner, safer, less crowded and better for all of us. Isn't that worth the money?
Come on, Tom Nolan; you're the swing vote. Make this happen.
It is all good to ride MUNI when you are a kid, there is that sense of freedom. However, Tim, you pointed out that you in fact drive a car to pick up your kid etc. the reality is that once you have access to a car, taking MUNI becomes a second choice.
I myself grew up in the city and rode Muni by myself from the 3rd grade. Once I got access and the means to drive a car, my MUNI riding days were over, except for the occasional trip downtown etc.
You are dreaming if you think getting a kid to ride MUNI now will encourage them to not drive in the future when they are an adult. If anything, it will make them a driver even quicker.
Scott is right, at this point we just can't afford this little gesture. Honestly, yours was the first semi-coherent article I have seen with actual thought out reasons to do this. Campos just seems to be pandering.
I agree it's a laudable program but where should the cash come from? Sunday meters only raise $2 million. Raise everyone else's fares? Cut service?
This guy Wiener is already running for mayor, in case no one has noticed. He's only one supervisor but I sense he thinks he's more than that and he has his conservative agenda. I don't remember Dufty getting the amount of media coverage that this guy gets. He seems to get more media coverage than Mayor Pak-Brown-Lee, and usually what Wiener's for is something in the wrong direction. He's a "conservative" posing as a "moderate" (but it sounds better to call yourself a "moderate" around here. The word "moderate" is less offensive to many here than "conservative"). The Castro which bears little resemblance to what it used to be in the days of Milk, elected this guy Wiener. That shows one how much the neighborhood has moved to the right, if those who voted for Wiener knew who and what they were voting for when they voted for this guy.
Maybe instead of blowing much-needed city money on this upcoming yacht race for the 1%, that money could be better used to pay for free Muni for children who live here. But no, this "new" city would prefer to help the corporatist 1% and so would Wiener.
Some people in SF are totally out of touch. First you claim that Scott is a conservative- yeah I am sure him and Santorum have so many policy positions in common. Then you try to claim that the Castro has moved so far to the right. I just shows that some people in SF are completely out of touch and are living in a bubble and have no idea of what is happening in the real world.
Ridiculous Dnative. You just got slapped in the face with a cold scaley fish and you react by chortling about how you've pulled that very coup on others.
Try debating me on the content of what I just posted instead of little statements that have no substance.
I think the point being made was made that Harvey Milk could never get elected nowadays. There is a difference between fiscal "conservative" -- which I put in quotes because it is a misnomer (reactionary is more appropriate) -- and social "conservative." Your substitution of one for the other may help your rhetoric flow, but it is without value and not meritorious of consideration.
The original poster made no distinction and throws around terms without defining them.
Wiener got elected by talking to every voter in D8 over the period of two years leading up to 2010 more so than on conservative policies. Wiener lost 2 out of 3 at his first outing at the ballot box, failing on measures E and F, the former by 2:1.
His major legislative success has been butt towels.
While Scott is a personable one on one campaigner, he is unaware that he is politically tone deaf:
- Hating children through opposing free Muni for youth
- Hating the westside conservative base that he will need to win if he runs citywide by associating with the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence
- Hating on the voters with Prop E
Adding to that...
He also voted for: SFPD/FBI's ability to spy on SF residents.
He campaigned for Prop L/Sit-Lie (criminalizing homelessness).
He's responsible for "Sit-Lie II" (anti-homeless/streepeople legislation for Warner/Milk Plazas).
Anti- homeless- it is anti-thug. It was passed in response to a real problem out in the Haight.
because homeless people have to sit and lie down and don't have any other place to do it. That's pretty much the definition of homelessness.
And "thugs?" Describe the relative merits and drawbacks of the Haight all you like, but anything "thuggish" already had a law on the books to address it.
we will not agree. Peace
It wasn't passed in The Haight. It lost in the Haight.
Sit/Lie Lost In Haight, Won In Pac Heights, Seacliff, West of Twin Peaks
The so-called "conservatives" were foaming at the mouth with their necks red in favor of sit-lie (which conservative Wiener campaigned on) and writing the most hateful comments about homeless and street people during the campaign for sit-lie. It won in the "conservative" areas of SF. Fortunately, sit-lie is not enforced or only selectively enforced because I see people sitting on the sidewalk all the time.
It's only the morally Impotent, criminals, gang-bangers, useless lazy pieces of garbage, worthless bums/moochers and other trash that supported sit/lie. Hard-working, decent, moral, law abiding tax paying American citizens VOTED to rid SF of the toxic disease that has INFESTED SF by voting to implement sit/lie.
Sit/lie is one of the GREATEST laws ever enacted in SF. If you don't like it LEAVE! We don't want you here! Go ruin some other city.
Now those same morally impotent morons want everything free so they can lie around smoking dope, begging for money, stinking up the place, causing TENS OF THOUSANDS of dollars in cleanup costs and repairs per year.
The reason that ILLEGAL ALIEN compost want free muni is because all the illegal alien mexicans look like kids. they're all tiny little creatures and they should be shot on sight.
Have you been to the Upper Haight lately? Sit-lie has been a complete joke.
Just because he wants to be fiscally responsible when we are in a budget crisis? Talk about mud-slinging.
Who is the hater here? Sounds like marcos. Free muni is a bad idea. It creates a new sense of entitlement - "Muni is a right!" - no it isn't. And just because someone doesn't agree with that statement does not make them a "hater".
"I think the point being made was made that Harvey Milk could never get elected nowadays."
Yes, that was my point. Thank you.
Harvey Milk was a populist, not a progressive. He arose out of the Republican Party but got disillusioned with its nascent rightward shift starting after 1964.
Harvey Milk would have more of a chance to win in D8 or citywide than today's current crop of poverty-centered progressives because he was able to translate how machine politics sucked the life out of a city to favor the connected few.
My partner's mother calls herself a conservative. She's right-wing, but sort-of pro-gay (only because she has a gay son). She's not quite like Santorum and she thinks he's a nut. So for that troll to rush to defend Scott Wiener from being properly described as a conservative and to keep blanketing the site with the Santorum comparison is most disingenuous.
How Scott Weiner is truly a conservative. This goes to the point that I have made a few times around here.
Some people in SF are totally out of touch and reactionary. If you are in anyway for being fiscally responsible, look even remotely like you are sort of pro-business, are known to drive a car once in a blue moon, eat meat, even thought about owning a home in SF, or in anyway disagree with the pure thoughts of Tim and the rest of the Bay Guardian mafia, you get labeled a "conservative". This even though you are most likely a pro taxes on the rich, pro-choice, pro- gay rights, pro-tenants rights etc.
"and the rest of the Bay Guardian mafia..."
Do you normally go on "mafia" sites? I would think that would be below you. Yet you come to this "mafia" site all the time. What does that say about you? Who forces you to come here? You don't have the discipline to stay away? Or is it that no one will argue with The Troll anywhere else?
It is much more challenging to go to a news site where I am in the minority. Fun too. If you only associate with people who agree with you,then how do you grow?
Lame/Sad response.
So fun to you = dysfunction, and where you can argue with people. "Growing" is not what you're here for and you know that. You're here for dysfunction and to Troll.
I have better things to do with my time than that.
So called "conservatives" are economic vandals who will take every opportunity to debase society or otherwise hobble the economy as long as it will put a few more dollars into the hands of those who don't need it: "starve government until its small enough to drown in a bathtub."
True. So-called "conservatives" are for the 1% (whether they are part of the 1% themselves or not. Many so-called "conservatives" pretend to be part of the 1%. It's part of "keeping up appearances").
Have Good day.
where everything doesn't pass through the racialist filter.
They are for government responsive to the citizens, not a government that is coercing the citizens to behave in a certain way at every turn, or punishing them with amazingly high fines and fees.
You can lecture all day on what a conservative should be, but as a self appointed "liberal" you are at war with the actual citizens that you loath and yet claim.
"It's really not that expensive to park at a meter in San Francisco, and now that most of them take credit cards, you don't have to carry $5 in quarters around with you."
I'm actually surprised that the SFBG is coming out for free Muni rides for SF's richest kids. I would have thought that they would favor a system where rich kids have to pay $10 for a ride. And they also have to wear a big '$' for easy identification.
But I agree with the earlier poster who questions the theory that this program will create lifetime Muni users. That is really dubious.
helps his class and hurts those he perceives are the "enemy" class.
There is really no depth to his views - just pure class warfare.
The left always do this - first they stereotype - then they hate.
Tim just wants to save the 20 bucks a month he is spending on his kids clipper card.
If bicycles are so great, why are so many Chinese people buying cars now that they can? Most people ride bicycles on warm sunny days. How many of those do we have here? And what about those trips to the store?
If SFMTA wants to help people in outlying neighborhoods with poor public transportation at no expense, they should license more taxis and bring back private jitneys and shuttles. There are a lot of areas of town where it is not practical to run a bus route. Those areas could be better served by a private transportation system that doesn't rely on hauling large groups of people across town to pay for fuel.
You didn't tell all of the story:
Slowing Demand in China
Auto demand rose 32 percent in 2010 after the government introduced subsidies and rebates to encourage buying, before slowing to 2.5 percent last year after the incentives lapsed. China's vehicle sales this year will probably miss their 8 percent growth forecast as the slowing economy and rising fuel costs curb buying, Gu Xianghua, deputy secretary general of state-backed CAAM, said on March 20. (Source: Bloomberg Personal Finance, Apr 11, 2012)
I ride my bike nearly every day, even in light rain and whether it's warm or "cold." I'm not one of the "must have perfect weather for me to ride my bike" people.
except that we don't have the money. But progressives never let that stand in the way of enacting something someone from their increasingly fractious coalition wants!
What the Guardian knows about Muni could fit on the head of a pin. The "Free Muni" Plan is dead because the MTC is refusing to pay for it, and rightfully so. Why should the MTC, a regional transit agency, give free rides only to the precious children of SF? They have called BS on this and Campos.
The Guardian isn't an newspaper, it's a pamphlet for the declining left in this town. The print edition is a joke, it rags on SF and says Oakland is cool, and is defending a wife beating liar just because he's progressive. There's nothing you can read here you can't read better somewhere else. minus the middle aged white men.
Unless Muni has a budget surplus (and it never will, since it's an incompetent agency), this plan is no good. Car drivers shouldn't subsidize free rides. Parking meters already cost too much, parking garages cost too much, parking tickets cost too much, and taxis cost too much. They all cost too much because Muni has an insatiable appetite for revenue.
And the transit-first city goal would be more realistic if we had a world class transit system. Instead we have a third-class transit system. Given the choice of Muni or an alternative (car, taxi, bike, whatever), I'd bet just about ever rider would choose the alternative.
The City should just privatize Muni. It can't possibly be run any worse than it is.
"If I want something, have the people I disapprove of pay for it." Tim perpetually attempts to shroud his many prejudices in reason, but the fabric of his ruse is always transparent.
If there are only 60K kids in SF, and many of those kids are below 5 years old because so many white middle class folks would not dream of raising their precious amidst the dangers of the City, and kids don't start riding alone until they're 11-12 years old, then the number of kids we're talking about is like 20,000.
Out of 700,000 trips a day, worrying about this or even considering it a budget issue is like the hysteria about $60m in operator and maintenance overtime at the MTA. Of that $60m, the extra cost is bounded by the "and a half" aspect of it, $20m because those dollars buy labor at a premium. The true cost of overtime is actually less than that $20m because the first 40 hours fully cover the non-hourly costs of the FTE, benefits etc. The 'and a half' just goes to pure hourly labor.
Since the MTA budget is just under $800m, that $20m goes to make sure that service is covered along the margins. Similarly, the $5m cost for free Muni for youth is an overestimate as well and will realize savings in the out years by paying forward on raising a new generation of transit riders.
You are guessing that the millions of dollars estimated this will cost MUNI is an overestimate. Despite no actual numbers, figures etc. Then you (and Tim) are again guessing that the kids, once they learn the joys of riding MUNI will keep on riding MUNI into Adult hood. As a kid that grew up riding MUNI, I am so glad I can afford a car. Hate riding MUNI. And there is a good chance those kids will too, so again, your whole premise is a guess.
The MTA admits that they are guessing as well.
Over yours. At least they have some basis in facts to go off of.
Nope, the MTA said it was a ballpark guess with no numbers to back it up.
Sorry not willing to take the risk.
I'm a SF native, born and raised in the Heart of the Mission. Back when I was a student, I only dreamed of riding the bus for free during school hours. The bus ride was only 25 cents back then. USF gives their students ID cards so they can ride Muni buses for free (I'm sure their tuition pays for that). Nevertheless, why doesn't the city just make it free to ride muni during school hours with a school ID. Wouldn't that solve the 8 Million dollar they don't want to spend on our city youth.
what the hell is your point?
The City has a negative budget. $8 million bucks needs to come from somewhere. City fees, i.e for parking, meters, and tickets are already very high. Where would you like this money to come from. What do you propose cutting>

What can be smaller than a pea, but grow as big as a tree? A seed!
Seeds are small plants, wrapped up in a package with the things they need to get a good start in life.
Seeds come in many shapes and sizes. Some are hard as a rock. Some are hidden in fruits. Some are smooth. Some are prickly. Some are so tiny they look like dust. In Minnesota about 1,400 native plant species produce seeds in summer or fall, as they prepare for cold weather. Safe inside a seed, a tiny new plant waits out the winter. Then it sprouts in spring when sun and rain are plentiful.
Full-color PDF of "Ready, Set, Grow"
Teachers guide for "Ready, Set, Grow"
In the fall, a ripe acorn falls from a tall white oak tree. A squirrel might find and eat this nut, or seed. Or the acorn might grow into a new oak tree.
The story of this seed began early in the spring when frogs were croaking in the pond and birds were building nests. At the tips of the twigs of a tall white oak tree, tiny leaves were growing. On some twigs, tiny red pistillate flowers formed. These flowers contained ovules, which are like eggs — the female flower's contribution to the seed.
On some twigs, yellow flowers shaped like caterpillars developed. These catkins, or staminate flowers, produced dustlike particles called pollen, the male contribution.
The male flowers released pollen into the air. Pollen grains went everywhere! One landed on a stigma atop a female flower. A long tube grew from the pollen grain down into a tubelike part (style) of the female flower and all the way down to the ovary.
Next, the pollen grain released two sperm into the tube. One sperm combined with the ovule, or egg, in the ovary. The fertilized egg cell divided to make an embryo.
What happened to the other sperm? It combined with parts of the female flower to make endosperm — food for the tiny new oak.
The ovary formed the round part of the acorn. Other flower parts formed the cap. All summer the acorn grew. At first it was green, then it turned brown and tumbled from the oak.
If a squirrel doesn't eat it, the acorn could sprout, put down roots, and grow into a new oak tree. After 50 years or so, that oak will grow acorns. Perhaps your grandchildren will see some of those new acorns.
Shut your eyes and picture a seed. What did you see? A tiny black dot? A fat bean? A kernel of corn?
Given the right conditions, any seed can give rise to a new plant.
Seeds have some basic parts in common. Every seed has a protective coat, some stored food, and an embryo that is the beginning of a new plant. Most seed embryos have a tiny root (radicle), a stem (plumule), and one or more leaflike parts called cotyledons.
Most seed-making plants pack energy into seeds in the form of starch, sugar, and fat. When you eat bread (made with flour ground from seeds of grains such as wheat and rye), oatmeal (made from processed oat seeds), or nuts, you are using energy stored inside seeds. Many animals eat seeds and the structures such as berries that surround them. Bears, squirrels, deer, grouse, insects, and other forest animals eat nuts and berries. Ducks and geese eat seeds from aquatic (water) plants such as wild rice and water-lilies.
Seed-making plants belong to one of two basic groups — angiosperms or gymnosperms — that tell where the seeds form.
Angiosperms develop in sacs called ovaries. Some angiosperms sprout a single leaf. Scientists call these monocots. For example, a single blade of grass shoots straight up when the seed sprouts. Orchids, big bluestem grass, and other monocots also sprout one leaf. Angiosperms that sprout two leaves are called dicots. Raspberries and milkweeds are dicots.
Gymnosperms form seeds in cones or cups. Pines, junipers, spruces, and firs are all gymnosperms. In most, the seeds develop between the cone's individual scales. In a yew, the seeds develop in berrylike cups instead.
The ground would get crowded if all of a plant's seeds sprouted beneath it. But that rarely happens. Plants have wonderful ways of moving their seeds to new places.
Wind. Some seeds soar through the air to a new home. Maple and pine seeds have flat, winglike blades. Seeds of dandelions, milkweeds, cottonwood trees, and many other plants have white fluff that catches on the wind.
Water. American elm seeds can float for miles after falling into a stream.
Carriers and buriers. Squirrels are famous for squirreling away acorns and other nuts in the fall for food later on. The nuts that last through the winter might sprout and become trees instead.
Plant power. In warm weather the seed pods of witch hazel, a forest shrub, burst open and fling seeds far from the parent plant. Dwarf mistletoe, which grows on evergreens, can shoot its seeds 20 feet at almost 60 miles per hour.
Animal insides. When birds, bears, or other animals eat fruit, they unknowingly move the seeds inside their bodies. The seeds end up in a pile of the animal's droppings in a new place. The droppings fertilize the new plant.
Animal outsides. Did you ever walk in a field or forest and come back with seeds stuck to your socks? Some seeds have claws, spines, hooks, or other parts that cause them to cling to animals passing by. After falling off or being pulled off the animal, the seeds can sprout in a new place.
People power. We move seeds when we buy and plant them. Sometimes seeds get stuck in mud in our shoes or in bike tires, then end up in a new spot. If these seeds are from fast-spreading plants such as dandelions or garlic mustard that aren't native to Minnesota, they can crowd out native plants.
When ready to sprout, or germinate, a seed starts to absorb water. It swells up. The embryo sends hormones (called gibberellins) to the seed coat to signal proteins to start making other molecules that the new plant will need to live and grow.
The stored food begins to break down, providing energy to the embryo for growing. Soon a tiny root peeks through one end of the seed. A shoot rises through the other.
Just as Sleeping Beauty needed a kiss from a prince before she could wake up, some seeds need a cue from the outside world so they sprout when the world is good for growing, rather than in midwinter or during drought.
Hot and cold. Some seeds must be exposed to cold before they germinate. Wild rice seeds, for example, usually need time in cold water. Seeds of false rue anemone, a woodland wildflower, need summer's heat to sprout.
All wet. Chemicals called inhibitors send the embryo of some seeds a message not to grow. When exposed to water, the inhibitors leach away (the way flavor disappears from bubble gum after you've been chewing it awhile) so the seed can sprout.
Right light. Some seeds need a period of darkness. Others need light to sprout.
Rough stuff. Seeds with tough coverings might need roughing up — such as tumbling downstream and bumping into rocks, or freezing and thawing, to crack.
Fungus helpers. To sprout and grow, orchid seeds need certain fungi to supply water and nutrients.
Hot stuff. Jack pine cones need heat to open. Heat of a hot summer day can cause some cones to release seeds. But others can only open when a forest fire blazes.

Victims Unite has brought a few starfighters together who have studied the law, helped as McKenzie Friends and challenged antiquated rules such as the ban on recording court proceedings.
Here is the online petition Abolish the Ban on Recording Court Proceedings and here is a first collection of comments by signers.
Here are a few conclusions by victims who stand up for themselves:
UK Police Personnel should have Criminal Records Bureau Checks – an online petition that publishes a list of charged or convicted Prison, Police and Court Personnel (ca 1274)
The Law is only as good as the integrity of those entrusted to administrate it. — Maurice Kirk
A law breaker cannot also be a law enforcer. — Caul Grant
'The Law' in Britain (The Police & the Courts), deliberately deny me the protection of the law, & deliberately block me from seeking a remedy in the courts for crimes & other wrongs committed against me. That being so, & it IS fact, then that same 'Law' CANNOT be used to punish me. Indeed, both Police & Courts have themselves committed serious crimes against me, & do so with impunity.
Or in short:
- LAW ONE is to Protect the Powerful.
- LAW TWO is to Oppress those who are Not.
- LAW THREE is to destroy anyone who dares to protest. — Norman Scarth

Oxford United owner says fans hold the key to financial stability
9:30am Thursday 17th April 2014 in Sport By David Pritchard, Chief Sports Reporter covering Oxford United. Follow us on twitter: @oxfordmailoufc. Call me on 01865 425458
IAN Lenagan has called on supporters to match his commitment to Oxford United, with the chairman saying they hold the key to the club's financial success in the future.
Tomorrow, they are due to announce season ticket prices for the 2014-15 campaign, on the day Gary Waddock's side host fellow play-off hopefuls York City.
A victory would put the U's in a good position to make the play-offs, their highest finish since dropping out of the third tier in 2001.
But although the side have spent all but one week of the campaign in the top seven, crowds at the Kassam Stadium are down from last season.
It marks a 20 per cent decrease on the figure from two years ago.
It has a significant impact on the finances, with United's most recent accounts – up to June last year – revealing a £1.1m loss.
Lenagan, whose interest-free loan to the club now stands at more than £6.1m, is optimistic the heavy losses will not continue, but made it clear how vital it was for fans to give their backing.
"An extra 1,000 spectators through the gate makes a massive difference," he said.
"You're talking about £10,000 a game and we have 23 home games.
"If we got 2,000 extra spectators you almost wipe the losses out. It's within our grasp.
"If you were to say who can make the biggest difference to Oxford United financially, it's the fans. It's not me.
"I'm propping up losses and trying to change the business, trying to appoint a good manager, trying to get the right commercial people, which I've got.
"I've probably done almost everything I can do now."
Lenagan is aware supporters will be influenced by whether United play attractive, successful football, something he believes is in the process of coming to fruition by appointing Gary Waddock as head coach.
And the U's owner says now is the time for fans to turn up.
He said: "I think my commitment to Oxford and the Lenagan family's commitment to Oxford has been massive. And it continues.
"My request to Oxford fans, particularly now, but on into the new season, is to buy season tickets, buy match tickets.
"Show that you support Oxford United in the same way that I support Oxford United, both financially and in effort."
United's chief pointed to tomorrow's home game as a good exam ple. It clashes with the traditional Good Friday fixture between his other club, rugby league side Wigan Warriors, and St Helens.
But he will be at the Kassam Stadium and is hoping for a gate of about 6,500, although forecasts earlier this week predicted an attendance of 5,600.
Lenagan said: "I'm going to the Oxford game – that shows you where my heart is, doesn't it?
"Sure, Wigan are on television at 12.15pm, but it's not the same, you want to be supporting on the ground and I've been at every game for more years than I can remember, but I'll be at Oxford on Friday.
"I'm saying to the fans do the same – pay your money, show your support and come along."

Hopefully GW can turn things around and give us something to cheer, even if the result goes against us, give us attacking football where we really have a go at the away team and fans will return.
Will be interesting to see ST prices, there is no justification for an increase in price.

Then there is a good chance the attendances will increase, so the 'key' as with every Club is attractive football and success.
So let's hope the prolonged search for a replacement manager pays dividends next season, whichever division we're in.
All the buttering up of stay aways will not entice them back Mr L. You must really appreciate that is the truth.

Next Game
Army Black Knights
@ Hawaii Warriors
Saturday, Nov 30, 2013, 11:00 PM EST
Hawaiian Airlines Field at Aloha Stadium
TV: Mountain West Network/Time Warner Oceanic PPV
Hawaii's best chance to get a win this year comes in their final game of the year when they host Army. The Warriors are a favorite for the first time all year as they are a 7.5-point favorite over the 3-7 Black Knights. Army leads the nation rushing the ball per game and is putting up 330 per game on the ground, and if they are going to win that is how they are going to do so.
Hawaii has a porous rushing defense and allows 209 yards per game on the ground per game and that is 102nd in the nation. Army will run the ball and will also put up plenty of yards so Hawaii will need to step up their rushing defense, but that does not seem all that likely. Hawaii gave up 383 yards to Navy who has a similar offense to Army, but even more damning would be that Wyoming rushed for 295 yards this past week.
Offense is where Wyoming is going to win this game. This has been said many times by me the past few weeks, but sticking with just one quarterback in Sean Schroeder has provided Hawaii a chance to be competitive over the past few games. Also, running back Joey Iosefa has played very well since he became completely healthy from a fractured foot. Over his past three games, Iosefa has averaged 114 yards on the ground during that time and has four touchdowns including another one in the passing game.
For Hawaii to get their first win of the year they need the offense to play like they did against Wyoming where they scored 56 points, and the defense needs to not play like they did against Wyoming where they allowed 59 points. It seems likely that Hawaii will put things together Saturday night.

Two 15-year-olds questioned over arson (From Evesham Journal)

Two 15-year-olds questioned over arson
5:00pm Saturday 10th November 2012 in News
A GARAGE, shed and outbuilding were destroyed in an arson attack in Evesham.
Two crews from Evesham and one from Broadway were called just after 4pm on Sunday to the blaze at a currently unoccupied 1930s dormer bungalow just off King's Road.
When they arrived they found a large shed was on fire.
Western Power and Thames Water were also called as the fire had damaged a power cable and destroyed a water pipe.
A spokesman for Hereford & Worcester Fire and Rescue Service said they believed the fire was started deliberately.
"The garage, shed and outhouse near the bungalow was destroyed but the quick action of the crews stopped the fire spreading to the bungalow itself," she said.
Toby Shergold, West Mercia police spokesman, said a 15-year-old girl and a 15- year-old boy, both from Evesham, had been interviewed in connection with the fire.
Last year the house was targeted by metal thieves who ripped off roof lead, tore up floorboards to steal copper pipes and even wrenched off old bath taps.

There has been much talk in recent days as to possible successors to Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, if and when he steps down. American and European journalists and pundits have limited the scope of possibilities to those recognizable to Western observers. The first name brought up worldwide was Mohamed ElBaradei, the former head of the United Nations International Atomic Energy Agency and Nobel Laureate. A pro-democracy dissenter for many years, ElBaradei is a recognizable figure to many in the West. However, due to his many years living abroad and current home in Vienna, Austria, he is not well known in much of Egypt. Another favorite figure of the West is Amr Moussa, former Foreign Minister and head of the Arab League.
So which leaders do the Egyptian people actually want? Al Jazeera English posted this video in their live blog today, an interview with a young protester showing his wounds and declaring that he will not leave Tahrir Square until Mubarak steps down. The most interesting part comes halfway through, when he lists three people that he thinks would be good leaders. The Al Jazeera reporter asks the young man who he wants to lead after Mubarak, and what type of government he wants to see. The protester responds, "A government of Egyptians, with the best men here." He lists three names: Mohammed al-Baltagi, Ayman Nour, and Mustashar ("Advisor") Mahmoud al-Khodairy.
These are three very interesting choices, and shine light on the nature of these demonstrations. All three are familiar names in the Egyptian opposition movement, yet are very different people. Dr. Mohammed al-Baltagi is a member of the Muslim Brotherhood party and a Member of Parliament. He has been a vocal supporter of judicial reform in recent years, and has spoken out against the government's decision to bar former British MP and Palestinian activist George Galloway from entering the country.
Ayman Nour is by far the most famous figure of the three that were mentioned. He is the leader of the El Ghad ("Tomorrow") party, a liberal opposition party with a strong focus on democracy and human rights. The Egyptian government officially recognized El Ghad in 2004. Nour, a Member of Parliament at the time, ran for President the next year. He was arrested in January 2005, and then released in March after international outcry and intervention from the European Union. After his release he mounted a presidential campaign that managed to garner seven percent of the vote despite the fact that the elections were widely recognized as being fraudulent. Mubarak then had him arrested again in December, and he served four years in prison before being released in 2009 due to health issues. He joined the protests two weeks ago and was injured when he was hit in the head by a rock on January 28th.
Mahmoud al-Khodairy is a judge and an attorney, a Muslim Brotherhood member who was formerly the vice president of the Egyptian Court of Appeals. Al-Khodairy, referred to here as "Mustashar" (a term of respect meaning "advisor"), was in support of the Muslim Brotherhood's decision to withdraw from the 2010 elections in protest of the ruling National Democratic Party's rigging of election results.
El Ghad and the Muslim Brotherhood would seem to be diametrically opposed, yet this protester would like to see both groups' ideas expressed. After he shows the camera his burns and bruises, he vows not to leave Tahrir Square until he and his peers can decide the future of their country themselves.

LEWIS — In mid-afternoon, a clear scent of spring caught in the wind.
But the Cech family had a mission and no time for a Sunday snooze.
There were lollipop bandits on the loose, dodging the Essex County sheriff and hiding a stash of suckers on dusty back roads.
Essex County Sheriff Richard Cutting and his deputies knew there was just one thing to do: They called in Mighty Matthew.
Eight-year-old Matthew Cech donned the deputy's uniform he'd been given a few weeks before and drove with his parents and two brothers to the jail.
He stepped bravely up onto a chair.
"You gotta take an oath," the sheriff said.
"I don't know what that means," he replied.
But, wearing the size 3T deputy's uniform and a wide-brimmed Stetson hat that dipped daringly over his eyes, the Cumberland Head Elementary School third-grader raised his right hand.
"I do," he said, promising to protect and defend.
And they were off.
Cutting, Undersheriff Michael Badger and Major Thomas Murphy set up a patrol watch next to the ambulance garage off Route 9.
They waited, keeping a sharp eye for any signs of a tan pickup truck allegedly used in the lollipop heist.
The details were sketchy, though the sheriff said the bandits had a good haul of candy.
Mighty Matthew kept his finger at the switch, ready to blast on the spinning blue lights to warn the suspects to stop.
And then — there it was, turning fast onto Ray Woods Road.
Matthew and the sheriff gave chase and pulled the suspect vehicle over.
The bandits, somewhat resembling Essex County deputies Bob Rice and Lloyd Lamont, stepped out and hung their heads.
They knew they'd been caught.
Matthew carried a plastic bat and a can of (training) pepper spray to use if the two culprits got unruly.

6 Hot Spa Trends
Knot-Defying Techniques
The demand for more transformative spa experiences has turned treatment lists into colorful catalogs chock-full of J.Crew-worthy offerings. "A Swedish massage used to be good enough for most people," says Debbie Bridges, of the Phoenician Resort in Scottsdale, Arizona. "Now, guests want services that heal their body, mind, and soul."
We checked in with some of Arizona's trend-setting spas to sample the newest treatments designed to make the "glow" last long after you've checked out. Here's what we found.The Pressure's On
Anyone who works 12-hour days, lives in a big city, or wrangles kids for a living is painfully aware that most massages just don't do the trick. That's where deep, new sports-oriented treatments come in. And best of all, you don't have to get naked or greasy to reap the benefits.
At the Four Seasons Scottsdale, hot golf balls are rolled and pressed into tight muscles and tucked into trigger points between the shoulders. The signature Golfer's Massage includes "table thai" therapy, which pulls and stretches tight limbs, and muscle resistance work called PNF (proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation), which claims to improve range of motion and performance.
Still not deep enough? Canyon Ranch-Tucson's new Deep Oriental Barefoot Massage may be the just what the doctor ordered. Hanging from overhead bars, a therapist literally walks on your back, using his or her feet to unknot deep tissue. "Our guests keep asking for 'quicker, faster, harder,'" says the ranch's programming guru Kelly Horn. "This gives that to them."

FORT WAYNE (AP) — Fire officials in Fort Wayne say at least a dozen businesses rented portions of an old industrial complex destroyed in a massive blaze.
Assistant Fire Chief Jim Murua tells the Journal Gazette that investigators are sifting through the rubble of the two warehouse buildings to find what cause the fire that took crews six hours to extinguish on Monday.
Much of the warehouse space was used for storage, but lawn care and auto repair businesses also operated in the complex east of the city's downtown.
John Allen tells WANE-TV the fire destroyed all his tools and equipment for his car repair shop and that cars belonging to him and a customer were destroyed. Allen says he's grateful no one was hurt in the blaze.

Perfect product to meet office needs. Value for money product. Handy, keyboard type keys. Large LCD display for ease of work.
plastic quality is so (very) poor .If it is down by hand then no chance to save it.
and also lightweight
in offers got it at the best prices. too good.. writing review after long time..so can be sure that its properly functional
The product is wonderful, easy to use but at times the switches which are bulged out becomes problematic to press. Otherwise the product is quite good and gives you a feel that you are using a keyboard.
its just like a normal calculator works fine but your fingers will start paining if used for a long time . spend some more bucks and go for some another calculator

Seems as though it took summer long enough to arrive this year. Weekends have been a time for rain to restore the grass that turned a dingy brown last year (never mind that the western states could have used some of it on their wildfires).
So when a hot dry weekend finally arrived in mid-July, just in time for LeeAnn's big swim meet, I found my skin ill-prepared for several hours in the sun. I thought I had a perfunctory tan. But hours in bright sunshine is another matter indeed.
Fortunately, I take a tan pretty easily. Not so my wife, who tends to turn a lovely shade of pink. I've never been one of those sun-worshippers, though, who by my age pride themselves in leather skin from winter months in Florida and summers on the golf course or by the pool. Me, I'd be making regular appointments at the dermatologist.
It was a three-day swim meet. The first was a Friday evening, which I figured I could handle without sunscreen. To ward off the glare I did grab a cap and sunglasses. But by sunset my knees, normally covered by my shorts when I'm in a standing position but exposed when I'm seated on the pool deck, felt as if I'd been standing too close to a charcoal grill.
Aloe applications soothed the tenderness, and I determined to apply sunscreen the next morning. But I didn't take it with me to the pool. By midafternoon the sunscreen was long gone, and the redness was taking on the color of blazing charcoal as I vainly tried covering one knee at a time with my heat sheet, which obviously wasn't big enough to cover both knees at once.
And by now my arms, already pretty well browned, were beginning to resemble a medium rare steak. And Bonnie was getting pink as well. My cap covered my face, but not the back of my neck. We left as soon as LeeAnn's last event was over and headed for the coolness of a restaurant.

Irreverent Reverend: Bob Seals Interview Outtakes Part 2
In the current issue of Dirt Rag (#178, on sale now) you'll find a ground-breaking interview with Reverend Bob Seals of CoolTool, Kleen Kanteen and Retrotec fame. This multi-faceted artist, activist, frame builder, race promoter and team owner, if not agitator, ran his whole operation out of his ranch just outside of Chico, California.
Seals was first interviewed in Dirt Rag #38 in July 1994 by Fernando Avallone and we strongly suggest you find and read that original interview, there's too much there to miss. We also suggest you read the new interview by the same author in Issue #178 if you haven't yet. Over the next few weeks we'll be posting outtakes that didn't (or couldn't) make it to print. Most of these unimaginable stories are being told for the first time right here, in this second installment.Tweet Print
Blast from the Past: Mongoose Minigoose Memories
Vintage product review shot from Dirt Rag #39.
One of the star attractions at Dirt Rag's Dirt Fest is the fleet of Franken-bikes built by long-time Dirt Rag contributor Lee Klevens. One such contraption is a "mini-tall-bike" that the mad doctor built by welding a high-rise extension onto a 12-inch wheeled Mongoose Minigoose. This particular bike has an interesting backstory that begins 20 years ago.Tweet Print

Blast From the Past: Reader Art in living color
Our previous "Blast" dipped into Dirt Rag's black/white reader art archives and featured a selection of monochrome masterpieces. This edition is a horse of a different color. We've put together a slide show of reader art that's subtitled: In Living Color. Thanks again to all of the talented readers who've sent us their artwork over the years. We appreciate your creations, and enjoy sharing them with the world.Tweet Print
Blast from the Past: Reader Art
Since the very beginning, Dirt Rag has offered artistic types a welcoming space to showcase their creative talents. In addition to professional artists, whose works have graced magazine covers and illustrated feature stories, a number of regular readers have scored 15 minutes of fame via art appearing within the pages of Dirt Rag.
For a number of years, we regularly ran a half-page collage aptly named: Reader Art. While I'm sure folks were stoked to see their works in print, running five or six pieces on a half-page layout didn't always do justice to the art.
The Dirt Rag blog to the rescue! I've decided to devote a series of "Blast From The Past" posts to showcasing some of my favorite Reader Art pieces. To honor Dirt Rag's monochrome roots, I'm starting with some classic black-and-white artwork from days gone by.

#tbt: Show us your tattoo
With acres upon acres of cool bikes and gadgets on display at the annual Interbike trade show, it's tough to get noticed. Exhibitors battle to attract the roving hordes to their booths. Most employ tried and true tactics: booze, booth babes and boatloads of booty (as in pirates' booty, a.k.a. swag).
Dirt Rag has always been know for rolling its own. In 1996 our booth buzz scheme was a "Show Us Your Tattoo" promotion. We invited ink-bearing attendees to stop by our booth and have their body art documented via color Polaroid snapshots, which we posted on the back wall of our booth.
Dirt Rag Issue #55 featured a full-page black-and-white collage of our favorite 20 tattoos from the show. While rummaging through the Dirt Rag "hardocpy" archives, I stumbled upon the original tattoo Polaroids.
Eureka! This gold mine needed to be shared—in living color.
So without further ado, I give your "Our Favorite Tattoos" from Interbike 1996.

25th Anniversary: 25 years of dirt to dish
This year is a major milestone for Dirt Rag. We're celebrating 25 years of printing the magazine. The 'Rag has gone from being hand-stapled in Maurice and Elaine Tierney's basement for East Coast consumption in 1989 to where we are today in 2014: enjoying rapid circulation growth and distribution across the globe.
As part of the celebration our next issue will feature special content that's sure to become a collector's item. One feature story, written by Gary Boulanger, is an inside look at the history of Dirt Rag with an inside view of how it all began and how we got to where we are. As part of that, I'd like to share a few extra stories over the next few weeks that came out of Gary's research. Hopefully you'll enjoy them as much as I do and will look forward to reading this special feature when it arrives on newsstands April 1 or in your mailbox even sooner if you're a subscriber (hint, hint).

Blast from the Past: The Original Dirt Fest
The first edition of Dirt Rag's Dirt Fest took place in 1991 at Camp Soles, a YMCA youth camp located in the Laurel Highlands, just east of Pittsburgh. For me, that era represents a magical time, marked by glorious tribal gatherings known as mountain bike festivals.
In fact, I'd learned about Dirt Fest from some friends that I met at the legendary Jim Thorpe Mountain Bike Weekend. I attended the first Dirt Fest as a "civilian." A few months after the event, I became friends with the Dirt Rag crew by showing up at their weekly rides in Pittsburgh, and about a year later I landed my first job at the magazine.
Compared to Dirt Fest's current incarnation, the original event was decidedly chill. There was no vendor expo bristling with the bleeding edge of bicycle technology. Demo rides amounted to swapping bikes with a newfound friend. I seem to remember a bonfire, and somebody playing a guitar—a far cry from The Earthtones jamming for a circus tent full of free-beer-lubricated mountain bikers.
