Essex Police "determined" to improve safety for cyclists
10:04am Thursday 23rd January 2014 in News
Dozens of cyclists have been stopped and given road safety advice as part of a new operation by Essex Police.
Officers will be patrolling busy cycle routes in four areas of the county where an increasing number of riders are being involved in serious road crashes.
With more people taking up cycling to get to work, to keep fit or for pleasure and with growing interest in the Tour de France cycle race stage passing through the county in July, police are determined to improve safety and reduce casualties.
January, February and March are the months when road collisions involving cyclists increase, mainly during dark evenings when people cycle home from school, college or work.
In the corresponding period in 2013 there was a 50 per cent increase in recorded casualties in the Basildon dalone. Other districts such as Chelmsford and Colchester have also seen an increase, but to a lesser extent.
Operation Bluenose aims to find riders at risk and urge them to use more safety equipment such as lights, helmets and high visibility clothing. Officers are also using social media to ask cyclists to identify which areas and cycle routes should be investigated.
Members of the Essex Police Casualty Reduction Section have already stopped more than 120 cyclists in Basildon, mainly around the industrial areas of Cranes Farm Road and Burnt Mills.
Sgt Graham Freeman, who is running the operation, said: "The vast majority of people we stopped were very receptive and those who were fully complying with the law were most impressed that Essex Police was tackling the problem.
"The majority of those who had no lights or reflective clothing assured us that they would have some as quickly as possible. Only one or two people had to be reminded that there would be a £50 fine if they failed to comply and were stopped and warned for a second time.
"About 50 per cent had no lights and were given verbal warnings. About 50 per cent had no reflective clothing and 75 per cent had no cycle helmet.
"The approach was initially to stop and educate cyclists including those riding without lights, on footpaths, in pedestrian-only areas or riding the wrong way down one-way streets. We will also be handing out the 'Let's Look Out For Each Other' literature when talking with people.
"We will also be showing riders a map which outlines where the cycle road collision have happened in their areas. Our stop checks will be at some of these collision sites so showing a map will have much more of an impact than just giving words of advice."
"Obviously if further action is deemed necessary to drive home the need for improved safety, we will issue fixed penalty tickets."
Officers will be carrying out similar stop checks on cyclists in Harlow, Chelmsford and Colchester until the end of March.

Why is there so much emphasis on cycle helmets, which only have a very minor shock absorbing capability anyway?

For starters:
Bring back Cycling Profficiency.
Teach teenagers and young adults that it is not acceptable to cycle on the pavement.
Enforce the law regarding pavents, lights, etc.

I cycle too and from work every day and pay V.E.D on my car and Council Tax (some of which does pay for the upkeep of the roads I cycle on).
However (this has been debated over and over again), there should be more of a push to educate all road users to respect each other. If they are allowed on the road then they should drive respectfully and considerately to other road users, whether they are cyclists, horse riders or any other vehicle. The whole 'them vs motor vehicles' thing has to stop.

Most people cycling too and from work do pay for the upkeep of the roads they cycle one. The tax you pay on your motor vehicle is not 'Road Tax', it's general taxation.

all cyclists should be made to have lessons and learn road safety just like drivers they should also be made to pay for using the roads and also keep them off our pavements they arej ust a total nuisance and danger to motorists and pedestrians
Let's hear from Bhudeeka:
Her justification for this radical proposal (something more than just a pathological hatred of cyclists please).
A. How she thinks it could be administered and by whom and at what cost.
B. What it benefits it would achieve.
C..Why it shouldn't also apply to pedestrians as well.
D. If successful will she propose extending it to other categories that she so dislikes such as Gum Chewers, Smokers, Mobile Phone Users, Council House Tenants, Jobless Benefits Claimants and um, er, oh yes I almost forgot - Me! Ha ha
Should make for some interesting reading!.

The trouble is, the staff need to enforce the rules - and it is made more complex because the ban only applies between Shenfield and Liverpool Street so the staff don't know if the bike will be taken off before that point.
I have to say that I find most cyclists in London to be arrogant rude individuals who are probably lawyers and bankers and believe they have a right to cycle where they like. Also, bikes on rush hour trains should be banned. Travelling to London this morning I was prevented from making an early exit on arrival at Liverpool Street because a bike was blocking the entire doorway and the owner only bothered to get up and move to the front of the queue in his own time. Nice. Happens regularly on the way home too.
With regard to cyclists in London, I think it is the minority who fit your criteria. Most do stop for red lights and pedestrian crossings, but the few that don't stand out in your memory and you tar us all with the same brush.
You don't often get cyclists on the pavement in central London - it would be counter productive due to the number of pedestrians. However, in Witham I rarely see other cyclists on the road but plenty on the pavement.
However, didn't you realise that the Highway Code doesn't seem to apply to Boris Bikes?
Finally, as well as pedestrians having to put up with "arrogant rude" cyclists, the cylists have to put up with pedestrians who think it is OK to step into the road without looking.

WashPost's Eggen Wrings Hands Over 'Faceless Donors' to Campaign Ads; But He Frequently Uses Anonymous Sources Himself
By Ken Shepherd | April 26, 2012 | 18:30
"Behind the ads, faceless donors," blared a front-page headline in today's Washington Post. "Disclosure rare as groups spend on general election," complained the subheading to Dan Eggen's April 26 story. "Nearly all of the independent advertising being aired for the 2012 general-election campaign has come from interest groups that do not disclose their donors, suggesting that much of the political spending over the next six months will come from sources invisible to the public," Eggen lamented in his lead paragraph.
Anonymous campaign spending and hence anonymous political speech really irks the Citizens United-obsessed liberal media. But the hypocrites in the press use anonymous speech all the time as integral to, well, their political speech, their freedom of the press. In fact, Eggen himself has used anonymous sources -- including Super PAC staffers and campaign donors -- at least six times thus far this year, according to a Nexis search of the Washington Post with the terms "condition of anonymity" and "Dan Eggen."
The most recent use of an anonymous source by Eggen is from April 21, in a page A1 story about the communication strategies for the major political parties for this November (emphasis mine):
...[T]he major conservative groups believe grass-roots organizing is best left to Romney and the Republican National Committee.
"A lot of us don't think it's efficient for outside groups to do ground-game activities," said one super PAC official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss strategy. "The campaign finance laws are set up to allow the parties to do that, and we believe they do it quite well. Our added value will be on the airwaves."
On March 1, in a story co-written with Philip Rucker, cited "One top Romney fundraiser, who spoke on the condition of anonymity in order to talk candidly." That "bundler" told Eggen and Rucker that "the campaign clearly is struggling to cope with a fundraising challenge it didn't expect to have several months ago":
"This slog they're in is costing them tons of money," this bundler said. "They've got a fundraising challenge in the sense that they have to keep raising money to keep up with the spending. They're not in the hole or anything, but it's a struggle."
Eggen's use of anonymous sources is bipartisan. Here he is in February, from a February 18 story co-written with Post staffer T.W. Farnum about Obama's fundraising lagging behind expectations:
President Obama's campaign raised far less money in January than it did during the same month four years ago, suggesting that it may have an increasingly difficult time matching his record-shattering financial numbers from 2008.
"We're not in the midst of a competitive primary and are putting this general election money away in the bank, while investing some of it an organization on the ground the GOP doesn't dream of matching," said one senior campaign aide, who requested anonymity in order to discuss election strategy. "The Republicans are raising primary money, and they are spending whatever they raise."
"Under tax and election laws, most nonprofits, including many that spend money to run ads during election season, are not required to publicly reveal their donors, unlike more purely political groups," Eggen noted in today's article, adding:
The pattern underscores the growing influence of corporations and wealthy individuals in the wake of a Supreme Court decision that made it easier to spend unlimited money on elections. The numbers also suggest that many well-off donors are increasingly opting for the confidentiality of nonprofits rather than allowing the public scrutiny that comes from giving to super PACs or candidates.
"I think there is a potential to see a tremendous amount of money flowing through these nonprofit groups," said Bill Allison, editorial director at the Sunlight Foundation, which advocates greater disclosure for political organizations and candidates. "For an awful lot of donors, it's a very attractive way to give without leaving any kind of footprint."
Of course, while television, radio, and print advertising are expensive propositions, politically biased reporters have carte blanche to get their liberal narrative to potentially millions of American news consumers in the guise of objective news reporting, and all that with the benefit of anonymous sources who help drive the narratives preferred by the liberal media.
#1 Yeah every time the MSM uses

Yeah every time the MSM uses sources they don't identify as left-leaning or stats from foundations funded by Soros, they do the same thing. It's okay when they do it, but they sure don't like it when the tables are turned.

#3 You raise an important point, Ken
Submitted by Galvanic on Fri, 04/27/2012 - 11:03am.
Every time an MSMer uses the words "Some say . . . " or "Some would say . . . ", they are essentially making a political point with no attribution.
We suspect that this tactic is merely an editorial tool to inject their opinion into a piece as if it is objective news.
But what's the difference between a Super PAC ad that says "Obama is a celebrity to young voters, but his policies have hurt more than helped them" and an MSM reporter writing/saying "Some say that the GOP is waging a war on women." Or "some prominent economists say" or "A recent study reveals" ---- if they don't identify the source, how is that different from anonylous donors paying for a political ad?

#4 Suspect? You're joking,
Submitted by motherbelt on Fri, 04/27/2012 - 11:13am.
Suspect? You're joking, right?
Well, of course we have no proof, because they never say these things when someone is around who might ask "Who are you talking about? Who said that?"
So they get away with it.
They also insert opinion by dreaming up polls that no one cares about, or pulling a question right out of....the air....like George Stephanopoulos and his "contraception" stunt, to get conversation going on a subject that they want to talk about (usually favorable to Democrats).
Reminds me of the ad for a new show, with a guy's friends acting like a Neanderthal cheering section off to the side while he's hitting on a girl, and she says "They know I can see them, right?" And he replies, "Yeah, they don't care."
They don't even care that their bias and tactics are obvious.

#5 Absolute hypocricy: Obama's campaign publicly OUTS GOP donors
Submitted by gopcongress on Fri, 04/27/2012 - 5:59pm.
Perhaps if the Obama campaign didn't "out" campaign donors for Romney with information that borders on slander or libel, their argument would only be corny. But this OFFICIAL Obama campaign site does it:
(NOTE: Site is credentialized with the following: "PAID FOR BY OBAMA FOR AMERICA")
It is documented by Kimberly Strassel HERE:
Frankly, I think this is newsworthy of a Sheppard or Bozell investigative report.

#6 Money, politics, and government
Submitted by CO2Maker on Fri, 04/27/2012 - 8:11pm.
Phase One.
Everybody ("some people say") is very worried about the effect of money in politics. They pass laws that restrict donations to $2,500 per election per person. That way, the rich person cannot buy influence and favoritism in policies.
Except for bundlers, who can collect $2,500 from a lot of people and bring the candidate a check for $250,000. Not his money, but he gets the credit and the name-recognition. So, using Other People's Money is a great way to comply with the law and sort of buy influence. But not for rich people writing the candidate a check for their own money.
Phase Two.
When it's time to pay for the costs of running governmental programs, the same people who were afraid of the influence of rich people's money on the candidate and campaign now call upon those same rich people to pay more—excuse me, their "fair share"—so that the rest of the people, including 47% who pay no taxes at all, don't have to pay more than their "fair share," which they hope to be small or nothing at all.
Screw the liberal policies!

Wow.where to begin....to sum it up briefly 5 STAR Luxury, 5 STAR Rooms, 5 Star Food and 5 Star Service. This was our experience from the last 2 weeks. This was my 2nd cruise(1st was with Norwegian/Alaska) and this was my husband's 1st cruise and we walked away from the SHIP with having already put a deposit down for next year with Celebrity. Here is how everything I can remember as I am still on vacation from last nite.
Airport; Extremely efficient staff met us as airport(we booked transfer to port thru Celebrity). The price is expensive $92 per person but the convenience was worth it. We reached Rome at 8am and by 9am we were on our transfer to Civitavecchia Port) and on the ship by 11am. The embarkation went very smoothly with no hiccups.
Service; Impeccable, you could not turn around without a helpful professional staff waiting to help with anything you needed. The staff was extremely professional. They are clearly trained and focused on their quality of work.
Food; Delicious, we felt as if we were going out for fine dining every nite, Dessert(although I don't have a sweet tooth, I was impressed with the quality and freshness of the desserts. Speciality restaurants well worth the extra service charge(Tuscan Grill and Qsine-$45 per person). Drinks; Never watered down and anywhere you were they were ready to ask if you needed a drink, you never had to go looking for a waitress/bartender.
Excursions; Extremely well organized and appropriate number of participants in each tour. Locations that the ship had for excursions choices were perfect.

Playing their second game in five days, the Eagles will be without their top offensive weapon this afternoon vs. the Cowboys. QB Michael Vick will be the team's emergency third QB, as Kevin Kolb will start for Philadelphia.
Vick was hit early and often in the Eagles' Tuesday-night loss to the Vikings, a game that locked the team into the three seed in the NFC playoffs. With nothing to play for, the team has chosen to sit Vick against Dallas. Rookie Mike Kafka is the second-string QB.
The way we see it
This is a smart call by Andy Reid, to rest his star QB in a meaningless game. Since Philly wasn't able to wrap up a playoff bye, this Week 17 game will serve as a time to rest for Vick.

By Jason CarrFox 2 NewsDETROIT (WJBK) -- Legendary racer Carrol Shelby is gone, but his vision lives on. His company is taking a walk on the "wide side" with two new street legal hot rods.Who doesn't need a Shelby GT 500 Super Snake Wide Body with 850 horsepower?"700 horsepower's plenty for me," said Greg Rygiel of Dearborn Heights.He doesn't need the 850?"I do not because I drive it on the street," Rygiel explained. "I've had enough tickets already. I've had two."He drives a Shelby Mustang. His wife has one, too. He was all ears as Shelby American President John Luft reminded everyone how Carrol Shelby also hot-rodded Dodge econoboxes in the eighties."'You know, I caught more [expletive] for building those four cylinders back in the eighties,' he said, 'but I didn't care because I had the most fun.'"With that, they unveiled a Ford Focus given the Shelby treatment. It's one example of a trend the late, great racer wanted to ahead of -- small engine, big performance."High performance, small footprint, turbo-charged four cylinder, 40 miles a gallon -- that market will never go away, and when you add the cachet of Shelby, it's just icing on the cake," Luft said.Rygiel's wife now wants a Shelby Focus, too."She said she wants that as her daily driver every day," he said. "She wants that to drive in the wintertime."If you want to check out the Super Snake and the Shelby Focus, the display is downstairs below the main floor at Cobo.As for what's next..."In New York, we are going to pull the silk back on something that's big," said Luft.

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
The crux of this route is obvious and full on right from the start. Climb some loose rock to the bottom of a flaring bomb bay chimney. Place a good piece high in the chimney and fight your way through the crux. Easier climbing leads to a rest ledge and then over a 100' of awesome hands (#2 Camalots-#3 Friends) gets you to the anchor.
This route is just right of "Hot Lunch" in the obvious corner where the trail meets the wall.
One #4 or #3.5 Camalot, one #.75 Camalot and a bunch of #2 Camalots and #3 Friends. A #1 Camalot and some smaller cams might be useful but they're not necessary.

Brewers ride late push into playoffs
Momentum has Milwaukee rolling for NLDS in Philly
MILWAUKEE -- They crowded into a small dining room, away from the plastic-covered walls of the home clubhouse at Miller Park, to watch on television.Three Mets outs to go. Then two. Then one. Then, pandemonium. Led by slugging first baseman Prince Fielder, the Brewers emerged with the National League Wild Card in hand. They wasted a few cases of champagne and then took the celebration back to the field, where tens of thousands of fans had been watching the Marlins beat the Mets on the big screen, sending the Brewers into the playoffs. Next stop, Philadelphia. The Brewers and Phillies begin a best-of-five NL Division Series on Wednesday at 2 p.m. CT. It will be Milwaukee's first playoff game since 1982. "I don't care when we did it last," shortstop J.J. Hardy said. "We did it now. And it couldn't be more exciting. We're having a blast." Once the champagne dries and the confetti is cleared, interim Brewers manager Dale Sveum will have to sit down and figure out the particulars. On Sunday, picking a Game 1 starter and settling the postseason roster was the last thing on his mind. "Don't even ask me that now," Sveum said amid the celebration. Left-hander Cole Hamels (14-10, 3.09 ERA), who beat the Brewers on Sept. 13 in Philadelphia as part of a four-game Phillies sweep, will start opposite somebody for Milwaukee. Since the fabulous CC Sabathia pitched a complete game on Sunday to put the Brewers in the postseason, he will not be available until Game 2 at the absolute earliest.
|"To me, the postseason began a week ago. We had to win all of these games just to get here."

MIAMI (AP) - Tropical Storm Nadine has strengthened in the Atlantic but is still far from land. Nadine's maximum sustained winds increased to near 45 mph (75 kph) early Wednesday.
The U.S. National Hurricane Center says additional strengthening is expected and Nadine could become a hurricane by Thursday or Thursday night.
The storm is centered about 995 miles (1,605 kilometers) east-northeast of the Lesser Antilles and is moving west-northwest near 17 mph (28 kph). Nadine's current forecast track shows it eventually curving away from the U.S.

Customer Reviews
- 300g Dangly weights Review by DrDave
My partner likes to hang these from his nipples and says he likes them very much. Indeed, they're quite the sight. He also says the eyebolts feel loose in their threads and fears they may come out unexpectedly. The weights are nicely made, smooth and burr-free but the eyebolts have significant burrs and saw blade marks. Their diameter is approx 1/3mm too small for the holes they thread into.

- Nice Review by Kent
I wear this in conjunction with my Ball Parachute I use them to assist with putting on my ball weights. This combination works great. They also feel good just wearing them. Wife likes watching them swing.

- Love them, but not for sissies Review by John
I love these things! I hang one (500 gram) from each nipple, and the feeling is intense! They stretch my nips to the max. When I walk around they swing back and forth, making the sensation even stronger. They come with a carabiner so attaching them to the nipple rings is a snap.

If you swallow a foreign object, it will usually pass through your digestive system uneventfully. But some objects can lodge in your esophagus, the tube that connects your throat and stomach. If an object is stuck in your esophagus, you may need to remove it, especially if it is:
If a person who has swallowed an object is coughing forcefully, encourage him or her to continue coughing and do not interfere. If a swallowed object blocks the airway and the person's condition worsens (the cough becomes silent or their breathing becomes more difficult), the American Red Cross recommends the "five-and-five" approach to first aid:
If you're the only rescuer, perform back blows and abdominal thrusts before calling 911 or your local emergency number for help. If another person is available, have that person call for help while you perform first aid.
If the person becomes unconscious, help him or her to the ground and begin CPR. With attempted breaths, check the mouth for an object and if visible remove it. Do not perform a "blind finger sweep" because this could push an object farther into the airway.
The American Heart Association does not teach the back-blow technique, only the abdominal thrust procedures. It's OK not to use back blows if you have not learned the back-blow technique. Both approaches are acceptable.
To perform abdominal thrusts (the Heimlich maneuver) on someone else:
A modified version of the technique is sometimes taught for use with pregnant or obese people. The rescuer places his or her hand in the center of the chest to compress, rather than in the abdomen.
To perform abdominal thrusts (the Heimlich maneuver) on yourself:
If you're choking and alone and have a land-line phone, call 911 or your local emergency number immediately. You can't perform back blows on yourself. But you can perform abdominal thrusts.

Will new Komen CEO repair damage, increase donations?
By Opinion Staff
The Susan G. Komen Foundation has named Judith A. Salerno, a nationally known health policy and research expert, to replace founder Nancy Brinker as its chief executive.
Brinker agreed to step down after the group sparked a national controversy by instituting a policy that would have denied funding to Planned Parenthood. Komen reversed course after overwhelming public criticism.
Brinker will serve as chair of global strategy, effective immediately, according to a Komen spokeswoman.
The move is the latest effort by the charity to restore credibility after the funding controversy severely damaged the organization, hurting fundraising and morale.
In early June, Komen canceled its signature 3-Day Walk in Washington and six other cities next year, slashing the number of the fundraising events by half because of a drop in participation. Registration for Komen races across the country is down 10 to 15 percent. Nearly a dozen highly regarded senior executives have left the organization.
Brinker, however, initially did not want to give up her role as chief executive, and some within the Komen organization are concerned that her presence means she will continue to make decisions behind the scenes.
The board has made clear that Salerno will be in charge, said the spokeswoman, and everyone, including Brinker, will be reporting to Salerno. Brinker's new title means her fiscal 2012 salary of $684,717 will be cut, though officials declined to say by how much.
Salerno, 61, is currently executive director and chief operating officer of the Institute of Medicine. Her official start date is Sept. 9.
A graduate of Harvard Medical School and the Harvard School of Public Health, Salerno was deputy director of the National Institute on Aging and led geriatric programs at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
What do you think? Will a new CEO improve Komen's image and increase fundraising?
Take our poll.

WEATHERFORD, Texas — Tattooing a minor is illegal in Texas even if the child's mother gives her OK.
Now 31-year-old Lydie Krenzke Mathers is facing misdemeanor charges.
In addition, Brian Sporn is charged with performing a tattoo on a child he knew was a juvenile, according to the sheriff's office.
According to the Texas Health and Safety Code, a person under 18 years old may not be tattooed unless the tattoo will cover another tattoo with obscene or offensive language or symbols. The parent or guardian must also give consent.
The girl, who had just turned 14 years old, had two other tattoos on other parts of her body, as well, according to authorities.
Details for this story were provided by The Weatherford (Texas) Democrat.

ANDERSON — With an eye on creating a historical experience, the Friends of Mounds State Park have been restoring the Bronnenberg House since 2005. Due to a recent generous long-term loan from Connor Prairie, the entire house (built in the 1840s) is well-appointed with period-appropriate furniture.
"A lot of the things that were on display before the loan were not period appropriate, they were just old," said Carol Arena, publicist for the organization. "One of the houses at Connor Prairie was an 1896 home and they changed it to an 1840s house, so they didn't need this furniture. We have them on indefinite loan."
"Connor Prairie came through big time for us," said Tom Parker, vice president. "We want to give them a lot of credit for this."
Frederick Bronnenberg Sr. traveled to the United States from Germany in 1791 at the tender age of 16. After marrying Barbara, the couple settled in Madison County around 1820 and had a total of 13 children.
Their son, Frederick Jr., built the Federal-style Bronnenberg house in the 1840s. Later additions were made in the rear of the home to retain the architectural fashion, which includes a cube shape, proportional spacing between windows, and strong horizontal lines.
His son, Ransom Bronnenberg, moved into the home in 1869 and likely added a second-story room with its own private staircase. Frederick, III, created the second addition around 1896 and is rumored to have leased 40 acres to the Union Traction Company in 1905.
This lease was to expand Mounds Amusement Park, which operated from 1897 to 1929.
Mounds State Park born
After the property was purchased by the Historical Society and given to the state of Indiana in 1930, the state park was born. The Bronnenberg home then became the lodgings of the park superintendent until the late 1950s.
In the mid-1970s, naturalists began using the home for activities until it fell into disrepair. Just when some were calling to raze the structure, the Friends of Mounds State Park stepped in to restore the historic home.

We pride ourselves on offering first class service in luxurious but homely surroundings and the hotel is set in 18 acres of English country gardens and ancient woodland with nothing but the sound of babbling becks to distract you.

Definition: Mirror image twins are monozygotic, twins that form from a single fertilized egg. When the split occurs late - more than a week after conception - the twins can develop reverse asymmetric features. This term is not really a type of twin, just a way to describe their physical features. For example, they may be right- and left-handed, have birthmarks on opposite sides of their body, or have hair whorls that swirl in opposite directions. In theory, if the twins faced each other, they would appear to be exact reflections of each other. About 25% of identical twins are mirror image twins.
Also Known As: mirror-image twins

Ellis Johnson, the defensive coordinator candidate I profiled for the Florida State opening recently, is in Auburn today interviewing to become Gus Malzahn's defensive coordinator.
Ellis Johnson interviewing for Auburn coaching staff, according to report - SBNation.com
Former South Carolina defensive coordinator Ellis Johnson is reported to be in Auburn interviewing for new coach Gus Malzahn's staff.
This could be one of the first instances of a mid-level SEC school being able to simply outbid Florida State for a coach, as I noted yesterday.
Johnson will be 61 by Christmas. He is an excellent coach of defense, and isn't going to be getting a major head coaching job even if he had a great two-year run at Florida State.
And because of that, money is going to be more important to Johnson than it might be some defensive coordinators. Auburn, Tennessee and Arkansas could pay Johnson about 50-percent more than Florida State could. For that reason, don't expect Johnson to commit to Florida State before those are filled.
Stay tuned.

El PASO, TX: Texas is a big f'ing state. I've just spent one long day traveling across most of it. I got to watch the relative lushness of the Austin Area and it's oaks, yield over time to scrub, then prairie, then just out right desert. Likewise, the sandstone canyons west of Austin over time, open up into wide dry valleys, often with huge dust devils dancing through them. The canyon walls, opening up to for wide swaths of valley cliffs and then eventually plateaus then buttes.
I didn't get to talk to many people today, mainly because there just aren't many between Austin and El Paso. It would probably surprise some of my friends and exes though that I've become quite the chatty cathy. I'm usually painfully shy, but I'm a man on a mission, and what have I got to lose, I'll never see these people again. I'm also glad there's not a microphone in the car, since I spend most of the time scribbling notes on blogs, essays, or poems on a handy pad. Then try to work through them talking to myself (in my large public speaking/poetry voice) writing that tape in my head, so that later when I write up my notes those all come back to me.
Some highlights though were the people in White Mountain, TX. I think this is an old prison town according to the signs, but I couldn't find out much information about what goes on their now. There is an old blues song though I found called "White Mountain Prison Blues." I stopped for gas there, cause in this part of the country you don't dare let the tank get more than half empty. This is the part of the country you see in all those horror movies where people get stranded in the middle of the desert and attacked by crazy inbred mountain people that come down from the hills. I did get to hear a 20 minute story from an old local, about how he was trying to get his old truck running, apparently from scavenged parts and a lot of trial-and-error jury rigging. I guess he didn't have much else to do out here, this simple story took on almost a Wagnernian epic quality to it, after 20 minutes I finally had to excuse myself.
Almost to El Paso I had something scary happen, in fact, probably one of the scariest things that can happen when you're out on long road trips like this. Fortunately, I was through the most remote areas, where I could have died of thirst, and have vultures picking on my bones – or worse, been attackd by mutant cannibal hill people. A whole bank of warning lights came up on the dashboard. With warnings and symbols I had never even seen before. A quick pull over and search through the operating manual, revealed it to be a Electronic Stabilization System error. I have no ideal what that actually does though (stablizes something I'm sure). One of the warning lights was a car with squiggly tire tracks coming out behind it, I was really concerned that perhaps the tires were melting in the desert heat after the long drive (can they do that?)
It didn't help that the manual painted a dire picture, they can flash on occasionally and you're okay. But if they stay on continuously (which they were) you weren't supposed to drive over 30 mph, and were to seek immediate assistance. So I limped into El Paso, and got to my hotel, then called the rental car company. What luck, they said I could just take it to the airport and swap it out (just an exit down). So what could have been a disaster, wasn't so bad – in fact, I got a free upgrade out of what was already a big discounted deal.
Now in Georgia there's always talk of the "two Georgias" basially the wealthier, developed Atlanta area and then every one else. It leads to some odd politically scenes. Atlanta being the business hub and engine of the state but the state actually being controlled from the rural congressional districts, where popular, lifelong legislators hold an iron grip on the capital.
I thought maybe the same was true in Texas. Maybe the feedback I got in Austin was particular to Austin, a fairly well to do, state capital, university town, with a diverse economy. Maybe there were two Texases as well. But El Paso was saying some of the same things I was hearing in Austin, that they're doing okay.
One thing I still didn't understand, and I first heard it from a teenager and had to ask more people about it, was that El Paso benefits from being a border town, and has a huge economic driver in the retail and services trades from Mexicans that come over the border. This isn't something most people would think about. I still have to do more research on that..
I realized though, that there really aren't two Texases, but in fact many, it's pretty much a country in itself (and some would actually like to see that) with it's own regional interests and makeups. It's own interest groups.
As someone who is miserable in his unemployment and current job prospects, I expected more people in the same situation, people I could moan and commensurate with. All these happily employed cheery people are just getting on my nerves. Not only is the recession regional, and taking on different looks and feels in different areas, even in the same areas, it's all relative. If you have a good job still (as most people do) sure there's an air of uncertainty about, but things are cheap, you can cut deals, it's can actually be a plus. If you're unemployed though you live in a different america, a different state of mind.
This applies to the whole U.S. as well though. Mass media often portrays "the country, " "Ameirca," or "The U.S." as some monolithic, homogonous creature. I'm sure it's easier for them that way, not messay asterisks to deal with or fine print. So in many areas we're sold a story of what the nation is going through. And one thing that this journey is already teaching me is that this is a huge diverse country, we tend to forget that.
Even in my previous consulting job where I traveled extensive. I got that feeling for the sameness of this country. The airports, the Marriot Residence Inns, the rental cars, the strip malls and business parks that most businessmen see are pretty much the same across this cou ntry. I've often bemoaned the soulless, halogenation of our society, the strip malling and WalMartification of this great land.
I'ts comforting to be reminded that as a country we're still a crazy quilt sort of tapestry.
Couldn't resist this one: maybe a book cover?
Poem for the Day
Don Quixote in West Texas
Not the coarse and rough
brutes of his homeland.
These are elegant giantesses,
goddesses of the wind.
No flapping of canvas
or rough crumbling stone,
just the slow quiet
elegance of white metal
measuring the wind.
Perhaps here in Texas
along the dry plateau
even Don Quixote
could find love,
far from his fevered
rough mauraders.
These guardian spirits
of wind, they sing
they hum, they resonate.
"Don Quixote,
lay down your sword."

Martin Professional Middle East (MPME) has added a landmark to Beirut, the "Paris of the Middle East." With the collaboration and execution of MPME distributor LightBox, Martin Architectural Exterior 200 color changers have put the final colorful touches on the Downtown Garden.
As one of Lebanon's natural "pieces of art," the garden is a place where one can enjoy a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of the rest of the city.
Architect Vladimir Djurovic has bathed the Downtown Garden's greenery in color from 10 full color mixing Exterior 200 wash lights. The Exterior 200s are positioned in the trees and provide a fantastic multi-colored luminosity to the inner branches and foliage. Around a central reflection pool are numerous fiber-optic points uplighting the exterior basin and lining the interior of the pool. The fiber optic is powered by Martin FiberSource CMY 150 fiber-optic illuminators and is color synchronized with the Exterior 200s.
Situated between the Mediterranean and the foothills of Mount Lebanon, Beirut sits on a promontory that juts out into the sea, halfway up Lebanon's coast. The newly reconstructed Downtown district around the Grand Serail and Place d'Etoile is the city's financial and retail center. Here, new boutiques, restaurants, cafés, and gift stores are springing up.
