How to Be the Ideal Popular Girl
Do you want to become the perfect popular girl, the one who has it all? The girl who every guy wants to be with and every girl wishes they were her? This article will explain exactly how to do it!
An editor has suggested that this article be merged with:
"How to Be a Popular Girl"
Per the merge policy, if these topics are determined to be similar but distinct, then the articles will remain separate. Please comment on the discussion page. Notice added on 2014-02-05.
1Be friends with the popular girls and guys. In order to be one, you have to be friends with them. Remember, you won't be popular if you're not friends with the popular guys! Meet a new person everyday until everybody knows who you are. Make sure they are the popular people though, or else, you will be stuck as the most popular of the unpopular people. That is not a good title.Ad
2Have the best hair. All popular girls are almost always known for their amazing hair. In order to get this look, you have to grow your hair until it stops around your breasts. This is the ideal length for any popular girl. The cut of your hair should all be one length, or have long layers. Don't get any side bangs/fringe/bangs, and never have hair over your eyes or in your face.
- In order to make it look good, you need to highlight your hair. Most popular girls highlight their hair. If you're brunette, go lighter with light brown, honey, light auburn and blonde highlights. Use milk, honey, and cinnamon to do this. You can also go a honey blonde color. If you're already blonde, go brighter and lighter with lighter blonde highlights! If your hair is dark brown, black or red you will have to dye it a bit lighter and then highlight it. If you already have those, push them away from your face with a headband while you grow them out.
- For the look, you should alternate straight, curly (with a curling iron on the ends only) and beachy waves throughout the week. A ponytail is acceptable, but don't do it everyday, only once or twice a week. You will need to buy the best shampoo, conditioner and products for your hair type. The best brand out there is Kerastase. Stock up!
- Remember that the main goal is to keep it healthy, long, shiny, soft and bright! So, your daily hair routine should be wash every other day, condition daily, use a straightening balm/curling balm, apply a heat protectant spray, blow dry/straighten/curl/crimp and put it in a ponytail, half up, or whatever. If you want easy beachy waves, wet your hair at night, spray in some sea salt spray and put it in two or three braids. Then, sleep on them and in the morning dry them if they are wet and spray a bit of sea salt spray and you are good to go.
3Makeover your wardrobe. Popular girls have the best style, and are always put together and accessorized from head to toe. Your look should be preppy and classy yet fun and girly. So, anything in pink, green, white, blue, green, purple, yellow, orange, and red is wonderful! Always wear at least one pink thing.
- You need to buy jeans that look the best on your shape (skinny, straight, bootcut and flair) and you need them in three colors - dark, medium and semi-light. Never wear black jeans. Jeans can be Seven for All Mankind, Citizens of Humanity, J brand, Paige Premium Denim, Joe's Jeans, True Religion and William Rast, or any other designer brand jeans. Never wear WalMart or Target jeans. No exceptions! For tops, dresses and the remainder of your clothes you have to shop at stores like this: South Moon Under, Ralph Lauren, Anthropologie, Vineyard Vines, Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, J crew, Lacoste, Victoria Secret, GAP, Free People, Urban Outfitters, U.S.P.A., Aeropostale, Abercrombie, Hollister, and American Eagle.
- You should have a few polo shirts in bright or pastel colors, cute tanks and shirts in bright colors or pastel colors, and any shirt or dress in bright or pastel colors. Get 1-2 dresses.
- For handbags, you need wristlets (black that goes with everything and then brown), a handbag (in a color/style that goes with everything) and/or long handbags (black, khaki/brown/navy/purple, and a bright color like red.)
- You will need a pair of topsiders, canvas shoes, furry boots, ballet flats, riding boots, flip flops, and sandals.
4Get the newest Blackberry, iPhone, or texting phone. You need this in order to be popular. Also, every popular girl texts/calls and IMs non stop- so should you. Text during class if you can and in the halls and at lunch. Buy a jelly cover in bright pink, buy a pink phone, decorate your phone with pink jewels, or decorate your phone with pink nail polish.
5Don't brag about yourself or say something that could make the popular girls jealous of you, at least not yet. That will make them feel threatened, and they will try to get you as unpopular as they can. However, you can do things to subtlety show off your talents so they'll recognize you as someone with potential. If you can dance, dance at the talent shows and join the dance team.
- Being a cheerleader is one of the best things you can do to make your popularity sky rocket. In fact, it's mandatory you join your school cheerleading team.
- Try to sing well also and learn how to break dance. Try to be a good artist and join art class. Take a cool language too, like Mandarin, French, or Spanish.
6Compliment them. Don't overdo it, or else you'll come off looking like a desperate wannabe worshipper. Just say something like, "Cool shoes! Where did you get them?", "I love your necklace, is that a real diamond?", or "Awesome earrings. They must be Tiffany."
7Don't ever talk badly about the popular girls. Someone will tell another person what you said, and so on and so forth until one of the popular girls hears about it. They will most likely not confront you about it. They will probably be vindictive and get you back somehow or embarrass you. You don't want to do that, not unless you don't want to be popular.
8Don't completely trust the popular girls. If they talk bad about people behind their backs to you, you should assume that they are talking bad about you, behind your back with others also. But, join in their conversation, it will make you seem cooler. Don't say anything that will hurt their feelings unless you are extremely popular too.
9Be confident. If you are giving a presentation etc., don't get nervous and stutter all the way through. Popular girls get annoyed by those sorts of things. Be confident, be smooth, and be fabulous. Have a wonderful voice, perfect poise, and have a welcoming aura.
10Keep up your grades. The stereotypical popular girl is stupid? Not exactly true. Try and get all A's. Some popular girls are competitive in every way possible, so they might also be competitive in grades. Plus, if you make good grades, teachers like you. If teachers like you, you are more likely to be picked to be in charge of things. So, try to be in the top 5% or higher. Get a good grade on your SAT's and on any state testing.
11Buy the popular brands. This step depends on how generous your parents are when it comes to buying you stuff. If they won't buy you anything expensive, you'll just have to buy it yourself. If you get an allowance, use that. If not, then do this. Work for money. If you want to buy brand name clothing, you need money. If you're old enough to get a job, that will help. If not, ask your parents for some housework to do for money. Ask relatives. Also, at your birthday, ask for money, not gifts. Or, ask for the expensive gift you want.
- What to do with the money you've earned...two simple words. BUY JUICY. Juicy Couture is one of the cheapest luxury brand names out there compared to the prices of Chanel, Michael Kors, and Louis Vuitton merchandise. Buy Juicy, Lily Pulitzer, or Vera Bradley school stuff to show off at school.
- Every fall, Juicy Couture comes out with a new line of school supplies. Hurry and buy it before it's out of stock! Buy the binder, the school supplies, and possibly a pencil bag. And you should buy a Juicy jacket too. And if you really want to invest in the Juicy thing, buy lots of Juicy tee's. That will show off that you have money and will give the impression that you are rich. But don't wear the shirts too often, or the popular girls will think you are a poser who can only afford a few shirts and that you are just desperate to show off. If you cannot afford Juicy, Lily, or Vera, just buy things in Juicy colors, pink and green, or with paisley designs.
12Wear makeup. Essentials: Mascara - lots, to make your lashes look gorgeous! Cover up. It will pretty much hide all your skin's imperfections if you have acne etc. Lipgloss. Every popular girl has lipgloss. Try to use the expensive kinds, you can, but it is not recommended to use the cheap kinds! Try Lancome Paris Juicy Tubes, they seem to work best. Blush. Use it on your cheekbones to look like you are active. Bronzer. Use anywhere that is pale, or your hollows, nose bridge, chin, and forehead.
13Get a (fake) tan! Popular girls are as tan as can be, so use a bronzing or tanning lotion. Make sure your skin is well exfoliated and moisturized, shaved, and cleaned daily. This will ensure a more even tan and nicer skin. If you live in a sunless area, just use tanning lotions all year or get a deep tan on vacations to anywhere sunny.
14Have a perfect body. Popular girls are skinny, slightly muscular, and hairless. So, shave your legs and pits, workout every morning, and lift some weights. You should be on at least one sports team. Whichever team you want to be on, exercise and practice at it.
- Cheerleading is the best, so lift weights 3 days a week, do cardio everyday, practice your handstand, cartwheel, and roundoff, do jump drills, practice jumps, practice motions, stretch 2 times a day, and do exercises to enlarge the butt and breasts and shrink the waist.
15Top it all off with some perfume! Try to buy a sweet, girly & fruity smelling scent that people will like. It can't be too strong though, because then the popular girls will start talking about how bad your perfume smells, and you do not want them talking bad about you behind your back when you're trying to become one of them, do you? No. Keep the perfume in your locker or pencil bag, and spray it in between classes. Get a scent like vanilla, citrus, chocolate, pumpkin pie, or strawberry. Guys like pumpkin pie, vanilla, and lavender, but the other scents are good too.Ad
|The Plastics are a good example of stereotypical popular girls. Act like them, except tone it down a couple hundred notches to become popular.
- Don't think that all popular girls are mean. Some popular girls may seem mean, but are really sweet and kind. Maybe you just don't know them well enough. But also, some popular girls may seem sweet and kind, but are mean vindictive brats on the inside. Be cautious.
- Don't lie. Lies will always eventually be uncovered, and then the popular girls will render you untrustworthy.
- Remember that you always have to be kind to people and smile at them even if they've done something to you, you have to be polite at all times.
- Develop a skill. Be known as the super-talented artist or the star of the volleyball team. Also, use your natural talents. If you have a good singing voice, use it. That goes with a natural talent of acting, cheerleading, etc. It will make it cool to hang out with you.
- Have a cool room. When girls come over, make sure everything is organized, clean, and awesome. Have a cool pastel color, like white, pale yellow, pale pink, pale purple, pale blue, or pale green. Keep your furniture mostly wood, leather, or beanie, and have a matching quilt with a cool pattern. Hang up pictures and posters of your friends, favorite celebrities, awesome paintings, and your own art, if you are good.
- Eat healthily and only go on diets if you are overweight. Eat 5 fruits and veggies a day, 6 grains, 2 lean meats/protein, 2 dairy products, and 1 fat product. Yes, you need fat to stay healthy. Try to eat as little as possible while still eating a full serving. A full serving is the size of your fist.
- Do NOT eat anything messy because it could spill on your clothes and make your breath smell bad. Buy a few packs of Colgate Wisps and put them in your locker etc. and brush always after lunch so your breath smells minty fresh. Plus, people will think you are a pig.
- Always cross your legs when sitting. Put your shoulders back and sit prim and proper.
- Skirts and shorts are always cute. Only wear jeans during winter or when it's cold. Whenever it's warm enough to show your legs, do so.
- Don't get piercings or tattoos. Only get ear piercings, and keep them to a minimum. One on your earlobe on ear each is good. Buy elegant but simple earrings to make you look amazing.
- Get in a sport or activity of some kind that the popular girls are in. Soccer, basketball, definitely cheerleading, dancing, or gymnastics. If you are on a team with the popular girls, you will be more noticeable to them. Plus, sports (other than track), guarantee you popularity.
- To be truly popular, don't act like you know you're popular. Let your reputation do that for you.
- To truly be popular, you have to be a mild snob. Act like a very prissy girly girl. Be a little picky at what you eat, say "eww" at things like bugs and dirt etc. and say things like, "Aw! That's so adorable!" or "That's precious!" at things that are cute.
- Don't ditch all your old friends right away! Make sure you have a secure place (100% FOR SURE) in the popular clique before slowly drifting from them. Drift from them by hanging out with them less and less, calling them less and less, and not texting them. Start hanging out with, calling, and texting the popular girls, but only once every other week. You should have the numbers of all the really popular girls and boys.
- No matter what anyone says about you, YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL! Seriously. We are all special and unique in our own way, no matter what you look act or talk like. The popular girls will only talk about you more if you do something stupid to fit in, and will end up laughing at you or worse so if you believe you're beautiful, others will see it and you will be a million times more liked than if you look down on yourself.
- Girls do have a tendency to get jealous and may spread rumors about you as you become more popular. Be prepared to deal with this in a calm and effective way. Never give people a reason to make fun of you. It ruins your reputation.
- Don't let your emotions get the best of you. If someone says something snotty to you, just let it go; you'll be respected more.
- Remember, the people you think are "cool" now may not be as cool in 5 years. Attitudes change, fashion changes, and people grow and learn. Don't do something stupid that in 5 years you will regret.
- Be prepared to get dropped from the popular group. This is very common, but it doesn't happen all the time. Just continue on and pretend that you don't care, even if you do. You can't let it get you down. It happens to everybody, even popular girls. If you get dropped, then keep on following these steps. You'll be back in the group in no time.
- But most importantly remember girls, to be popular you don't have to do something risky or life threatening to be a part of the popular crowd. Like said before 5 years from now things will change and if you do something (Ex. Stop eating or something along those lines.) it may seem like it's okay and you'll look great now or have a lot of "friends" that "have things in common with you" (Ex. Smoke, Drink, or do drugs together) later in life those kinds of things will bring you nowhere. It will most likely bring the opposite of what you originally intended.
- There will be times of peer pressure to do something you don't want to. Stick to what you think is right. Try to make the decision that will benefit you the most. If you decide to do what the popular girls are doing, it could either get you more popular or get you into trouble. It depends.
- Don't follow the popular girls around. When you are getting to know the popular girls, don't follow them around like a puppy dog. It just gets really annoying and makes them like you a lot less.
- Never try to make jokes that aren't funny. Popular girls like funny people. They do not like boring, dry people. Try to be funny while avoiding embarrassment.
- If you had a reputation as a weirdo, bully, nerd, or idiot, it will take longer and you may not be accepted as quickly.
- When you are with the popular girls, they may be talking about someone or making a joke about them. Join in. Popular girls don't hate nice people, but they don't love 'em. To be popular, you have to be a bit aggressive.
Things You'll Need
- Money
- Makeup
- Purse
- Good hygiene. No one likes a slob. Brush your teeth, shower daily, and buy a face wash.
- Luscious lips. Put Vaseline on your lips before you go to sleep every night, and put on lipgloss every day between classes.
- Hairbrush. Buy 2 hairbrushes. One flat and large brush and one round brush, preferably pink or purple. Keep them at home and on the day that you styled your hair straight, bring your flat brush to school and on the day you curled it bring your round brush to school.
- Neatly plucked eyebrows. You don't want to be known as "Unibrow".
- Blow dryer. Blow dry your hair every day after getting in the shower. It gives your hair lift and volume.
- A cute boyfriend. Try and get a cute popular boyfriend. Don't be afraid to show public displays of affection (i.e. hold hands, hug, put head on shoulder, etc.). But don't do anything too risky (like have sex when you aren't ready to). You don't want to be known as the girl who is in an uncomfortable relationship.
- Major self-confidence
- Anything mentioned above. You need to be fashionable, beautiful, and confident, so buy anything you need to fulfil this.

Pengrowth Energy Corp Stock Downgraded (PGH)
Editor's Note: TheStreet ratings do not represent the views of TheStreet's staff or its contributors. Ratings are established by computer based on metrics for performance (which includes growth, stock performance, efficiency and valuation) and risk (volatility and solvency). Companies with poor cash flow or high debt levels tend to earn lower ratings in our model. NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Pengrowth Energy (NYSE:PGH) has been downgraded by TheStreet Ratings from hold to sell. The company's weaknesses can be seen in multiple areas, such as its feeble growth in its earnings per share, deteriorating net income, disappointing return on equity, weak operating cash flow and generally high debt management risk.
- EXCLUSIVE OFFER: Jim Cramer's Protégé, Dave Peltier, only buys Stocks Under $10 that he thinks could potentially double. See what he's trading today with a 14-day FREE pass.
- PENGROWTH ENERGY CORP's earnings have gone downhill when comparing its most recently reported quarter with the same quarter a year earlier. The company has reported a trend of declining earnings per share over the past two years. During the past fiscal year, PENGROWTH ENERGY CORP reported lower earnings of $0.26 versus $0.78 in the prior year.
- The company, on the basis of change in net income from the same quarter one year ago, has significantly underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500 and the Oil, Gas & Consumable Fuels industry. The net income has significantly decreased by 5039.2% when compared to the same quarter one year ago, falling from -$0.46 million to -$23.74 million.
- The company's current return on equity has slightly decreased from the same quarter one year prior. This implies a minor weakness in the organization. Compared to other companies in the Oil, Gas & Consumable Fuels industry and the overall market, PENGROWTH ENERGY CORP's return on equity significantly trails that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.
- Net operating cash flow has decreased to $143.63 million or 19.94% when compared to the same quarter last year. Despite a decrease in cash flow of 19.94%, PENGROWTH ENERGY CORP is in line with the industry average cash flow growth rate of -29.67%.
- Despite currently having a low debt-to-equity ratio of 0.41, it is higher than that of the industry average, inferring that management of debt levels may need to be evaluated further. Even though the debt-to-equity ratio shows mixed results, the company's quick ratio of 0.46 is very low and demonstrates very weak liquidity.

Really like the can design - raspberry red, kind of an unusual color for a beer can. "Japan's first micro-brewery" Really? I'll have to google that. The pour produces a huge off-white head on top of a crimson amber ale. Beautiful! Smells pretty good too. Rich and hoppy. Almost American IPA hoppy in the nose as well as a solid biscuity maltiness.
What a disappointment the taste is! It's not bad, but it's definitely not as good as the appearance and smell had me thinking. Totally, I mean completely lacking the bitter kick expected. It's almost like it's watered down. A little bit flavorful, but with kind of a nasty sour aftertaste.
When compared to the average can of beer found in the average convenience store (I got this at Circle K) here in Japan, this is quite good. And it didn't cost a whole lot more than the average beer either. Worth a try.

Poured from a 330ML bottle
Great amber color, very thin head
slight malt nose , getting a little wet cardboard though
slight thin sweetness up front, reminiscent of fruit tea with artificial sweetener, caramel malt on the back end with some bitterness
very thin mouth feel

A: The beer is clear reddish amber in color and has slight hints of visible carbonation. It poured with a quarter finger high beige head that died down, leaving lacing on the surface and a ring of bubbles around the edge of the glass.
S: There are light aromas of caramel malts in the nose.
T: Like the smell, the taste has light flavors of caramel malts along with hints of tea.
M: It feels light- to medium-bodied and a bit thin on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: I felt that this beer could be better if it had stronger flavors and a fuller mouthfeel.

Pours a two-finger beige head that diminishes somewhat quickly; a thin film lingers. Clear, copper body. Sweet caramel is readily apparent in the aroma; subtle orange, pineapple. Flavor is largely characterized by hop bitterness with a grassy quality; some grapefruit; malt appears late and leaves a bread-like aftertaste accompanied by a lingering metallic bitterness. Medium body with restrained, somewhat crisp carbonation.
All-around unappealing—hop aroma largely missing from the aroma, and hop flavor is grassy with a grapefruit-like bitterness. Caramel malt quality comes through in the aroma but appears only as an afterthought in the taste. The bitter, metallic finish just deepens the disappointment.

A: Pours a clear garnet red with some hints of brown in color with light amounts of visible carbonation. The beer has a half finger tall light beige head that reduces to an extremely thin film that covers the majority of the surface and a thick ring at the edges of the glass. Moderate amounts of lacing are observed.
S: Light to moderate aromas of caramel malts with some light hints of dark fruit and tea.
T: Moderate to strong flavors of caramel malts with some moderate notes of tea. There is a very faint note of dark fruits and very little bitterness.
M: Medium bodied with light to moderate amounts of carbonation. Slightly creamy and thin.
O: Well balanced as the beer is not overly sweet or bitter, interesting with the lighter notes of tea. Enjoyable but not a beer that I would run out to find again.

Not bad, not bad at all. Firstly, it looks awesome. Fantastic head retention. Haven't seen that kind of head on a beer that wasn't Belgian. It's red! Sounds obvious but a lot of red ales aren't. Some strawberry, caramel and dried fruits on the nose. Some mild hop action but thats not out of touch for the style. A fairly smooth drink with enough malty goodness to keep me entertained. A touch more bitterness might have been nice. A solid brew and my favourite from this brewery so far.

a: really red; looks like an amber that has had some strawberry juice poured into it; light off-white head that fades pretty quickly, just leaving a light coating on the top and a bit of foam clinging to the side of the glass; some pretty visible movement with a few columns of tiny white bubbles floating pretty quickly up to the head
s: sharp hops; some floral and tangy citrus in the back of the nose; almost a little bit of a bloody iron smell; some sweeter malts; pretty strong and pretty enticing
t: dryer than expected; toasted malts are the predominant taste; fruity and floral hops are the overtones; finishes with bitter hops; a little thin, but still enjoyable
m: light body with light cloy and medium carb; could be smoother but for japan it is not too overcarbed
d: an enjoyable beer but could definitely have more flavour - worth a try but not worth going out of way for

3.58/5 rDev +13.3%
Poured from 330mL bottle into a pint glass.
Appearance: rich amber-red hue with a haze-free body and a good effervescence. Head poured one finger of frothy tan foam. Good looking!
Smell: sweet caramel malt aroma with a nice citrus bite. Nothing special, but nicely crafted.
Taste: sweet caramel malt flavor with a light bitterness and only the lightest hop flavor. Hops are a tiny bit citrusy and a little bit noble in character.
Mouthfeel: medium body with a good level of carbonation and creaminess. I like it.
Overall: a decent amber ale, if not spectacular.

Can bougnt in Japan, poured into a goblet.
A: Very dark red, almost red. Basically no head.
S: Wow, strong aromas of dark fruit, peach, citrus, maple, and apple.
T: mhhm... dark fruits, citrus and hops start it off, sweet malts and dark fruits in the middle and finish.
M: Light and carbonated.
O: Suprisingly good, the dark fruits really stand out in this one!

Pours a shiny ruby colour, clear and bright. Head is beige, nice and dense. Disperses to form a nice cloud with some fingers of lace behind. Great colour, great everything.
Smells very malty and nutty, with actually a not towards funk at the back. Rich English toffee malt with walnuts/marzipan edge. Touch of sourness as well, fresh cut grass, lucerne and black tea. Intriguing and enjoyable.
Taste is...less successful, in many ways. Taste starts off malty with a touch of English toffee to it, and contrives to go rapidly downhill from there. Flavour disappears, in essence - bland, grainy mid-palate with maybe a herbal touch to it, then a watery and bread yeast finish that lets go too soon. With the colour, and even the odd aromas, I expected a lot more flavour than this. Uninspiring.
Thin feel, mostly. A bit of presence on the back but just a watered-down grain texture overall.
A disappointment. I really thought there was something here, until I tasted it.

Pours a clear copper with a foamy khaki head that settles to a partial film on top of the beer. Small patches of lace form around the glass on the drink down. Smell is of malt, grain, and biscuit-like aromas. Taste is much the same with lots of watery malt flavors on the finish. There is a very mild amount of hop bitterness on the palate with each sip. This beer has a lower level of carbonation with a slightly crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is a below average beer that has a decent smell but the flavors are pretty lacking.

Pint glass.
A: Body is ruby red, with no visible carbonation. The head is fluffy, and two fingered. Retention is excellent and the lacing is pretty nice as well.
S: Smells like England to me, that is, has a nose that is nostalgic for me of the many damp, brooding English ales I tasted during my time in the UK. Prunes up front. Some other faint dark fruits in there, with a buttery touch.
T: Tinny, little hops, little malt, blah. Not much here. 10 seconds after swallowing you can no longer taste the beer, darn.
M: Syrupy at first. Quickly feels watery. Misleading, in an uninteresting way.
O: Not horrible but not a big fan.

Purchased in the US, at some Whole Foods store. Can't remember which. Probably Los Altos. Anyway. @LaitueGonflable is very pleased I bought it because he got to share it with me back in Australia.
Pours a reddish, very pale rose hue, like a very light bodied red wine. Head is fine but filmy, leaving big bubbles around the edge, and a mesh over the top. Not a lot of lacing, but it leaves speckles here and there. Not a bad look overall.
Nose is grainy and a bit lacklustre, with some organic rice characters that remind me of before-bedtime warmed sake. Certainly, there's a very Asian Rice Lager kind of character to it. And not a lot of hops. That's bad.
Taste is similar, with a coppery character, and a sweet thinness, giving a cloying sticky rice abasement that really crushes any good characters on the palate. There's metallic characters on the front, cloying and unpleasant sweetness on the back, with a hint of rotting odour. Urgh.
Feel is thin, but sticky enough to leave the unpleasantness around for too long.
Blech. I was willing to give this the benefit of the doubt, but the longer I drank it, the more unhappy I became. Perhaps @LaitueGonflable is not happy I brought this back for him. Maybe he would have been happier if it had stayed far, far away.

In Search Of
by JackNF
dredwardmorbius beat me to it here, I've had my pre-order on Amazon.ca for a month now but just this week they finally got around to listing it on Amazon.com as well. Although, seeing as the current pre-order prices between the US can Canadian sites are at present 134.99US$ vs 69.99CAN$ and the set releases on October 23rd in Canada vs over a month later south of the border, I advise anyone interested in it to pay a few dollars in shipping and order it in from Amazon's Canadian branch because it'll be considerably cheaper and in your hands sooner.

text: Just got back from Louisville's first red-white scrimmage. My first assessment is this is probably the best 3-point shooting Louisville team since Pitino has been here. Rozier, Jones, and mostly Anton Gill can drop 3's all day. Motrezl Harrell is a BEAST, he will not be here after this year. Behanan is better, Blackshear still has work to do but looks like he is close. Luke did not play. Henderson looks like he will be our Steve Kerr off the bench spot up 3 shooter. Russ a more in control Russ. This team will be right there in the end. I'm officially excited! — at KFC Yum! Center.

It is, in a way, too bad that Cliven Bundy — the rancher who became a right-wing hero after refusing to pay fees for grazing his animals on federal land and bringing in armed men to support his defiance — has turned out to be a crude racist. Why? Because his ranting has given conservatives an easy out, a way to dissociate themselves from his actions without facing up to the terrible wrong turn their movement has taken.
For at the heart of the standoff was a perversion of the concept of freedom, which for too much of the right has come to mean the freedom of the wealthy to do whatever they want, without regard to the consequences for others.
Start with the narrow issue of land use. For historical reasons, the federal government owns a lot of land in the West; some of that land is open to ranching, mining and so on. Like any landowner, the Bureau of Land Management charges fees for the use of its property. The only difference from private ownership is that by all accounts the government in many cases doesn't even charge enough to cover the costs that these private activities impose. In effect, the government is using its ownership of land to subsidize ranchers and mining companies at taxpayers' expense.
Some of the people profiting from implicit taxpayer subsidies manage to convince themselves and others that they are rugged individualists. But they're actually welfare queens of the purple sage.
Treating Bundy as some kind of libertarian hero is, not to put too fine a point on it, crazy. Suppose he had been grazing his cattle on land belonging to one of his neighbors and had refused to pay for the privilege. That would clearly have been theft — and brandishing guns when someone tried to stop the theft would have turned it into armed robbery. The fact that in this case the public owns the land shouldn't make any difference.
So what were people like Sean Hannity of Fox News, who went all in on Bundy's behalf, thinking? Partly, no doubt, it was the general demonization of government — if someone looks as if he is defying Washington, he's a hero, never mind the details. Partly, one suspects, it was also about race — the general notion that government takes money from hard-working Americans and gives it to Those People. Most of all, however — or at least that's how it seems to me — the Bundy fiasco was a byproduct of the dumbing down that seems ever more central to the way America's right operates.
American conservatism used to have room for fairly sophisticated views about the role of government. Its economic patron saint used to be Milton Friedman, who advocated aggressive money-printing, if necessary, to avoid depressions. It used to include environmentalists who took pollution seriously but advocated market-based solutions like cap-and-trade or emissions taxes rather than rigid rules.
But today's conservative leaders were raised on Ayn Rand's novels and Ronald Reagan's speeches (as opposed to his actual governance, which was a lot more flexible than the legend). They insist that the rights of private property are absolute and that government is always the problem, never the solution.
The trouble is that such beliefs are fundamentally indefensible in the modern world, which is rife with what economists call externalities — costs that private actions impose on others, but which people have no financial incentive to avoid. You might want, for example, to declare that what a farmer does on his own land is entirely his own business; but what if he uses pesticides that contaminate the water supply? Along with this anti-intellectualism goes a general dumbing-down, an exaltation of supposedly ordinary folks who don't hold with this kind of stuff. Think of it as the right's duck-dynastic moment.
You can see how Bundy, who came across as a straight-talking Marlboro Man, fit right into that mindset. Unfortunately, he turned out to be a bit more straight-talking than expected.
I'd like to think that the whole Bundy affair will cause at least some of the people who backed him to engage in self-reflection and ask how they ended up lending support, even briefly, to someone like that. But I don't expect it to happen.Paul Krugman is a columnist for The New York Times.

"Fabric of the Cosmos" on PBS this Wednesday ⚛
NOVA has a fascinating program airing this Wednesday at 9:00 PM that attempts to tackle the mind blowing theories and experiments that aim to unravel the nature of the cosmos and even time itself. This will be a four part series starting with "What is Space?", followed by "The Illusion of Time", "Quantum Leap", and finishing the series with "Universe or Multiverse".
Set your DVRs so you don't miss any of it.
Program Description
"The Fabric of the Cosmos," a four-hour series based on the book by renowned physicist and author Brian Greene, takes us to the frontiers of physics to see how scientists are piecing together the most complete picture yet of space, time, and the universe. With each step, audiences will discover that just beneath the surface of our everyday experience lies a world we'd hardly recognize—a startling world far stranger and more wondrous than anyone expected.
Brian Greene is going to let you in on a secret: We've all been deceived. Our perceptions of time and space have led us astray. Much of what we thought we knew about our universe—that the past has already happened and the future is yet to be, that space is just an empty void, that our universe is the only universe that exists—just might be wrong.
Interweaving provocative theories, experiments, and stories with crystal-clear explanations and imaginative metaphors like those that defined the groundbreaking and highly acclaimed series "The Elegant Universe," "The Fabric of the Cosmos" aims to be the most compelling, visual, and comprehensive picture of modern physics ever seen on television.
Airing November 2nd, 9th, 16th and the 23rd, at 9:00 PM on PBS.
Tony's note: Just got around to watching this last night on my DVR. Very well done and no expenses spared with visual effects. Probably one of the best visual explanations of what space is and how it behaves when it interacts with matter. For the uninitiated, they get a good idea why gravity behaves the way it does. Also, they delved into topics like the Casimir effect and Higgs' idea about matter interaction and the search for the Higgs' boson. Can't wait for next week's topic on time.
Trek's Future on the Small Screen ⚛
The last Star Trek series to grace the small screen was Enterprise, which ended in 2005. But since the mid 80s, we had a pretty good run of Trek series starting off with The Next Generation, through its offshoots, Deep Space 9 and Voyager. Not to mention a healthy dose of Trek films. J.J. Abrams vision of the Trekiverse in 2009′s Star Trek seems to have renewed interest in seeing a new Trek series on television. How likely is it?
Back in 2005, when Enterprise had just ended, Bryan Singer, X-men: First Class producer, pitched a new Trek series. After a brainstorming session with screenwriter Christopher McQuarrie and director Robert Meyer Burnett, they pounded out a 25-page series proposal that took place in the year 3000 (that's over 600 years after TNG). It would have been called Star Trek: Federation and was envisioned as more of a space opera with longer story arcs. More like DS9 than the episodic TNG. Other proposed details included same continuity with the TOS/TNG/DS9/Voyager timeline, the series would reflect a parallel to both the decline of the Roman Empire and the current state of the American Empire suggesting a grittier possibly darker BSG-like series, a new threat called "The Scourge", a new USS Enterprise, and one of the central characters would've been called Commander Alexander Kirk, who has a "checkered past".
Seth MacFarlane wants to reboot Star Trek ⚛
He might be the right man for the job. Maybe. I'm a big fan of his animated series so I know that Seth has a soft spot for Star Trek. There have been quite a bit of gags based off Trek, both TOS and TNG. Next Generation actors have also done voice overs for their characters on Family Guy. If you doubt his admiration for the series read what he had to say in a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter:
MacFarlane is particularly eager to reboot one of his favorite franchises, Star Trek, for TV. "I don't know who would give me the keys to that car," he jokes, acknowledging that the films have been so profitable for Paramount that he isn't so sure they have a lot of interest in getting back into the TV business. "But I'd love to see that franchise revived for television in the way that it was in the 1990s: very thoughtful, smartly written stories that transcend the science fiction audience."
Is he the right guy for the job? I don't know for certain, but it would be exciting to see a new Trek series written and produced by a real fan, someone who cares about the Star Trek universe.
Interesting bit of trivia, Seth was on two episodes of Enterprise, playing an engineer named Rivers under Trip Tucker in the Episodes "The Forgotten" and "The Affliction". Also, he and Denise Crosby, who played Tasha Yar on TNG, are distant cousins.
Firefly returning to the silver screen? ⚛
Back in February, StarPulse reported that there were rumors that Firefly would be returning to television screens with new episodes. Since then, the Science channel has been airing reruns of the cult show in order, something FOX never bothered to do the first time around.
Actually, truth be told, it wasn't a rumor. Nathan Fillion, who played Mal on the series, said if he had $300 million, he would buy the rights to the series and produce episodes himself.
Some fans wanted to help Nathan by kicking him a few bucks; read about it here. There is still hope, right?
45 Years of Trek ⚛
My first Trek Experience was with the Original Series when I was 10 years old, and since then I was hooked. In fact, it wasn't until the premier of The Next Generation that I became a full on Trekkie. I remember reading about the new series on the back of a serial box while getting ready for school. There were factoids about the series and some photos of the ship and crew. but what really stood out was a large photo of Jean Luc Picard posing with Dr. Crusher and Wesley. I cut out that cereal box back and kept it for as long as I could remember it, but finally losing track of it several years later in a move. But that was my first TNG memory, and it was before the series actually premiered on TV. Going back and re-watching the whole series, I'm amazed at how much new stuff I pick up after the initial viewing of it.

14 things you may not know about Star Trek
Star Trek TNG is remastered for HD ⚛
The Digital Bits has confirmed from CBS that Star Trek: The Next Generation will be remastered for HD which in turn will provide a great source for a Blu-Ray release. Cost was always a concern, but it seems like the cost to do the remaster has finally been justified. Apparently TNG was all shot on 35mm film so the process isn't as involved as it would be for series filmed in SD digital. Most of the effort is going to be in reproducing the special effects which will have to be done frame-by-frame, a time consuming process. CBS has been pretty tight lipped about this, so you'll likely only have a little time before the release to pre-order.
Anthony Pascale from trekmovie.com had this to say back in 2010:
All three seasons of the originalStar Trek are now available in HD, but what about TNG? In a response to a question about TNG on Blu-ray, CBS Consumer Products VP John Van Citters told the crowd in Las Vegas that releasing Star Trek: The Next Generation on Blu-ray was much more "problematic" than the original Star Trek, due to how the TNG original effects shots were composited, and how that makes the transfer to HD "incredibly difficult without making them look awful." However, he also said that there is "a lot of conversations going on" within CBS on how to convert TNG to HD, and Van Citters expressed optimism noting "It is being worked on and I expect it will happen, it is just a technical challenge."
Following his talk, I confirmed with Van Citters that even though he is optimistic that the challenges will be met, as of now there is no specific plan or budget for the project within CBS. So this is still something that is a long-term project.
My hope is that eventually, we may get the other series in HD, specifically DS9 and Voyager. Enterprise was already shot in HD. You can already view all of the Trek series on Netflix, except for DS9 which will be available on October 1st.

993 F.2d 716
Michael Josef BRODHEIM, Petitioner-Appellee,
James K. ROWLAND, Director, California Department of
Corrections; Ron Koenig, Respondents-Appellants.
No. 91-16856.
United States Court of Appeals,
Ninth Circuit.
Submitted May 13, 1993*.
Decided May 24, 1993.
Michael Josef Brodheim, in pro per.
Catherine A. McBrien, Deputy Atty. Gen., San Francisco, CA, for respondents-appellants.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of California.
Before: BROWNING, CHOY and CANBY, Circuit Judges.
The district court ruled California's statutory scheme for providing work credits to convicted murderers violates the equal protection clause. Brodheim v. Rowland, 783 F.Supp. 1245 (N.D.Cal.1991). The court's interpretation of California law was expressly repudiated by In re Singer, 13 Cal.App.4th 1755, 17 Cal.Rptr.2d 395 (6th Dist.1993). "We are bound by that state court's construction of its own penal statute," McSherry v. Block, 880 F.2d 1049, 1052 (9th Cir.1989), and may re-examine a state court's interpretation of its own law only if "the court's interpretation is untenable or amounts to a subterfuge to avoid federal review of a constitutional violation." Taylor v. Kincheloe, 920 F.2d 599, 609 (9th Cir.1990) (citations and internal quotation marks omitted); see also Ward v. Love County, 253 U.S. 17, 22, 40 S.Ct. 419, 421, 64 L.Ed. 751 (1920). Singer § interpretation of California law is straightforward and reasonable. There is no evidence of subterfuge.
Brodheim challenges the district court's ruling that he has no due process right to continue earning one-for-one work credits under Cal.Penal Code § 2933. See 783 F.Supp. at 1248. Brodheim has already received credit for his work prior to In re Monigold, 205 Cal.App.3d 1224, 253 Cal.Rptr. 120 (4th Dist.1988) (holding § 2933 credits are not available to convicted murderers, but that murderers must receive credit for all work prior to court's decision). Section 2933 does not create a liberty interest in work credits for inmates who have not engaged in any work that would entitle them to such credits. Toussaint v. McCarthy, 801 F.2d 1080, 1095 (9th Cir.1986). Being ineligible for the program under state law, Brodheim has no due process right to continue earning credits under § 2933. Olim v. Wakinekona, 461 U.S. 238, 250, 103 S.Ct. 1741, 1748, 75 L.Ed.2d 813 (1983) (there is no due process violation if there is no liberty interest to protect).
We affirm the district court's denial of Brodheim's due process claim, but vacate the judgment of the district court with respect to Brodheim's equal protection claim. We remand for further proceedings consistent with this order and with Singer, including consideration of the additional equal protection claims raised by Brodheim but not addressed by the district court.
The panel finds this case appropriate for submission without oral argument pursuant to 9th Cir.R. 34-4 and Fed.R.App.P. 34(a)

New University of Louisville football coach Charlie Strong intends to make Florida cornerbacks coach Vance Bedford his defensive coordinator, according to published reports.
Apparently Bedford was getting looked at for the HC position at Buffalo. He started the turnaround in the secondary that got UF into the top ten in pass efficiency the past couple of seasons. He was DB coach at Michigan for a while under Lloyd Carr and coached Charles Woodson.
HIs DC stint at Oklahoma State is a bit underwhelming, ranked 95th in 2005 and 89th in 2006 in total defense. Pass defense was 53rd overall in 2005 and 84th overall in 2006. But I imagine most defensives suffer when you have to play Oklahoma, Texas Tech and Texas.

Angelina Jolie May Be a Star, But I Know How She Feels
I applaud Angelina Jolie for her bravery and willingness to share her experience with the public. When I was diagnosed with breast cancer, six years ago, I was not aware of the extent of my family's history with the disease. I know how it feels to be there. And even if you're a movie star, those decisions remain the same.

Regions: Lakes
Region > Information
With 273 lakes and ponds, this region is aptly named. From the largest (Winnipesaukee, with 283 miles of shoreline and 274 habitable islands) to the smallest (Duncan Lake, 114 acres and once a favorite fishing spot of Grover Cleveland), year-round recreational opportunities abound on these lakes, including boating, swimming, cruises, ice skating, ice fishing and snowmobiling.
Each of the area's numerous villages has its own special flavor. The M/S Mount Washington offers daily cruises around the lake, and local marinas rent out boats of all sizes to those who want to explore the waters by themselves. Every summer, Laconia hosts Motorcycle Week, attracting more than 300,000 bikers from across the country. Laconia itself is an old mill town reborn. The Belknap Mill is the oldest unaltered brick textile mill in the United States. The Winnipesaukee River stretches past the Belknap Mill and joins the Pemigewasset River in Franklin, the birthplace of orator Daniel Webster, to form the Merrimack, a major travel route for natives and early settlers. The town of Meredith hosts an Ice Fishing Derby each winter.
Collectible Annalee Dolls are manufactured in Meredith. The Gunstock Ski Area and Campground in Gilford offers trail riding, canoeing and other outdoor activities. Its neighbor, Meadowbrook Musical Arts Center, is the venue for concerts by nationally famous performers.
Moultonborough's Old Country Store, built in 1777, stands as one of the oldest stores in the United States. The Castle in the Clouds a 5,200-acre residence that overlooks Lake Winnipesaukee was built in 1913 for shoemaking millionaire Thomas Gustave Plant.
Another famous New Hampshire lake is Squam, where the academy award-winning film, On Golden Pond, was filmed in 1980. In Holderness is the Squam Lakes Natural Science Center. Newfound Lake to the west is known as the cleanest lake in New Hampshire.
On the northern edge of the Lakes Region sits Plymouth, home to Plymouth State University, Tenney Mountain Ski Area and Polar Caves Park, a series of glacial caves and passages. Whether climbing the peak of one of the Ossipee Mountains or taking a dip in a local lake, there is always a breathtaking view to appreciate in the Lakes Region.
These Points of Interests are entertaining or educational places that are geared toward children or fun for the whole family.

Ferguson (11-2) became the season 13 winner of The Ultimate Fighter in June by knocking out Ramsey Nijem. Riley (30-12-1) last fought in May 2010, winning a decision ove Joe Brammer at UFC 114.
The live blog is below.
Round 1: Riley comes out flicking that jab in Ferguson's face, but Ferguson avoids it well and fires back a couple straight shots on his own. Riley tries to hook his way in close and Ferguson shoves him back, then pops him with a right. Good leg kick by Riley gives Ferguson something to think about. The work rate is high between these two early on. Ferguson rocks Riley with a left uppercut, right straight, then throws the exact same combo a second time with even more success. Riley is hurt and Ferguson follows him from one side of the cage to the other, banging on him all the way. Riley recovers and snaps an inside leg kick that may have caught a piece of Ferguson's cup. This only seems to anger Ferguson, who turns up the volume of his attack. Riley's showing blood in his mouth, but hanging tough. The round ends with Ferguson chasing him down with kicks. MMA Fighting scores it 10-9 for Ferguson.
As he walked to his corner between rounds, the blood was dripping out of Riley's mouth and onto his chest. He looks upset, and the doctor comes in to take a closer look. Not to go all Dr. Joe Rogan on you, but we could be looking at a broken jaw. Yep, the doctor's calling it between the first and second. Riley is upset, but there's nothing he can do. As he leaves the Octagon his jaw is hanging open in a painful looking posture.
Tony Ferguson def. Aaron Riley via TKO (doctor's stoppage) at the end of round 1.

Led by a sparkling all-around performance from freshman M'rcy Matsunami, the UAA gymnastics team made history Friday night with a narrow victory over Seattle Pacific at the Wells Fargo Sports Complex.
The Seawolves beat their Mountain Pacific Sports Federation rivals in a dual meet for the first time in 38 tries, winning by one-tenth of a point, 191.675-191.575. It was UAA's first win over Seattle Pacific since the formation of the program in 1985.
The Seawolves (2-2) shined in three of the four events, earning top-five all-time scores on vault (48.5 points), uneven parallel bars (48.475) and balance beam (48.35). Their strength in those events allowed them to withstand a less-than-stellar effort in floor exercise.
"I'm really pleased with their performance, doing well on those three events," UAA coach Paul Stoklos said in a release from the school. "We know our weakness is floor right now, and we will be really focused on improving that aspect of our performance."
Matsunami, a freshman from Omaha, Neb., won the all-around with 38.675 points, the 20th-best score in program history.
She started off by winning the vault with 9.85 points, the seventh-highest score in school history and Matsunami's third vault of 9.8 this season -- something only three other UAA gymnasts have accomplished. She placed third on bars and beam.
"M'rcy is obviously just scratching the surface of her ability as a true freshman," Stoklos said. "She is someone who our fans will really enjoy watching for the next four years. I'm also pleased with the way Emily Petersen is really coming into her own, both as a team leader and with her skill set."
Petersen, a junior from Indianapolis, nailed all three of her routines, including a career-high 9.825 for a win on bars. Her 9.8 on beam was just shy of a career-high and good for second place.
Also posting top-three finishes for the Seawolves were Morgan Cook (third in vault, third in balance beam) and Paige Pirie (second on bars).
Seattle Pacific (0-3) was led by Stephanie Wagner, who topped the balance beam and shared the floor exercise title with teammate Corrine Wise.
UAA and Seattle Pacific meet again Saturday at 7 p.m.
UAA 191.675, Seattle Pacific 191.575

With the fourth installment of the Shin Megami Tensei series due out in less than two weeks, hype is beginning to mount within the RPG community. After all, it's been almost a decade since SMTIII was released. So with only a few days left before the anticipated launch, ATLUS is making sure to push the game's marketing in a big way. As a result, they have decided to unveil the contents of the forthcoming limited edition version of the game via a snazzy YouTube video, which can be seen below.
In case it flew under your radar, the LE will include the following:
The kicker to this is all bonus items listed above are limited to the first printings of the special edition. Once they're gone, subsequent printings will only include the SMTIV game. In other words, get on pre-ordering yourself a copy, if this kind of thing excites you.
For those interested in the limited edition, feast your eyes on the unboxing video below that has just gone live. Also, be sure to check back on July 10 for our full review of the game.
That box is god-like.

Burglary Arrest in Graves County
Date of News Release: 10/23/2011
(Mayfield, Ky.) -- Kentucky State Police (KSP) has arrested two persons for burglarizing a local business two times in early 2011. On February 24, 2011 the Dinner Bell Restaurant was burglarized and damaged. The same night, two other nearby businesses, Purchase Ford and Shelby Automotive, were also burglarized. On March 23, 2011 a second burglary occurred at the Dinner Bell Restaurant off Highway 45, just north of Mayfield.
On October 20, 2011 a Graves County Grand Jury returned indictments against Jeremy Perkins (22) and Charles J. Russell (22), both of Mayfield, charging them with two (2) counts each of Burglary in the Third Degree by Complicity and one (1) count each of Criminal Mischief in the 2nd Degree by Complicity. These charges only pertain to the two burglaries of the Dinner Bell Restaurant.
Charles J. Russell was lodged in the Calloway County Jail, where he was already incarcerated on unrelated burglary charges. Perkins was arrested on October 23, 2011 and lodged in the Graves County Jail. The arrests were the culmination of cooperation between the Graves County Sheriff's Department and Kentucky State Police.
KSP still needs the public's assistance as it relates to information pertaining to the Purchase Ford and Shelby Automotive burglaries. If anyone has information regarding these crimes, they are asked to contact state police at 1-800-222-5555 or (270) 856-3721. The public may also report crime information via the internet at http://www.kentuckystatepolice.org/crimeact_forms/crimacts_post1.php.
The investigation is continuing by Trooper Alison Ramsey and Lieutenant Brent White.

TT: Almanac
"Now when the fiddle sang at all it sang alone: but since Stephen's departure he had rarely been in a mood for music and in any case the partita that he was now engaged upon, one of the manuscript works that he had bought in London, grew more and more strange the deeper he went into it. The opening movements were full of technical difficulties and he doubted he would ever be able to do them anything like justice, but it was the great chaconne which followed that really disturbed him. On the face of it the statements made in the beginning were clear enough: their closely argued variations, though complex, could certainly be followed with full acceptation, and they were not particularly hard to play; yet at one point, after a curiously insistent repetition of the second theme, the rhythm changed and with it the whole logic of the discourse. There was something dangerous about what followed, something not unlike the edge of madness or at least of a nightmare; and although Jack recognized that the whole sonata and particularly the chaconne was a most impressive composition he felt that if he were to go on playing it with all his heart it might lead him to very strange regions indeed."

Guest opinion by former MP councilman Steve Schmidt: Time to support Dumbarton Rail
Original post made on Jun 10, 2007
Read the full story here Web Link
on Jun 10, 2007 at 10:28 pm
Let's not be fooled by the "Public Transportation" label. The most recent ridership estimate presented to the public clearly stated that 5,600 TRIPS per day - not roundtrips. That's 2,800 people going to work and 2,800 people coming home. How much sense does it make to spend $600 MILLION dollars to build and countless millions to maintain a heavy rail system that will use HIGH POLLUTION, refurbished DIESEL trains for 2,800 people? Is THIS environmentally responsible? Is this FINACIALLY responsible? The cost per rider projections for this project are 10 times higher than what is considered acceptable for federally funded projects. There are other transportation projects in the Bay Area that are FAR more worthy of our dollars and will make a far greater impact on alleviating traffic.

Here's an opportunity for Mr. or Ms. A Numbers Person to identify for us the "...other projects in the Bay Area that are FAR more worthy of our dollars and will make a far greater impact on alleviating traffic." What is your opinion?

Hi Steve,
Below are some web-sites to get you started on answering your question about
"...other projects in the Bay Area that are FAR more worthy of our dollars and will make a far greater impact on alleviating traffic." Although this statement may be hyperbole and I do need to learn much more about BRT, it does seem reasonable to be open to transit alternatives to rail projects (such as Dumbarton) and their enormous capital development costs and negative social impact. (Wikipedia has a long, informative and balanced discussion of BRT.)
<Web Link>
<Web Link>
The basic point here is to make a critical distinction between "Rail" and "Transit." The former is a sub-set of, not the entirety of, the latter. Rail advocates seem unable to see beyond the tracks. Rail is only one among several modalities for moving people. If I understand your position, you actually are an advocate for a comprehensive, inter-modal, urban transit network. I do know that you understand that to get people out of cars, there needs to be a more convenient, more cost/effective, more affordable, door-to-door way of getting around. If you get people to give up their car-gene by replacing it with a rail-gene, you have merely crippled peoples' ability travel.
There are many "sins" connected to the Dumbarton proposal. Not the least is the dishonesty about the real costs. The present projection of $600 million (which they don't have) is a typical low-ball number. (Bay Bridge? Homer tunnel? Transbay terminal? Boston "Big Dig"?)
We have heard about the condition of the existing rail bridge. Will a retro-fit meet CPUC and FRA standards for seismic impact? Will they discover, to their amazement, that the bridge will have to come down and a new one built? What do you suppose the price for that would be?

I spent a great deal of time this weekend working on updates to my WordPress theme. One of the more noticeable changes is the addition of support for threaded comments. The function has been available in WordPress since version 2.7, but I didn't get around to modifying my theme until now. Hopefully, this will make the comments section a little more useful. Read more
Re: Selling vs. Shaming
I read a post today on Zonker's blog called Selling vs. shaming. In it, the author argues that it's better to have non-free software loaded on a mostly free software system if it pleases the user, rather than have a pure free software system that doesn't meet the user's wants or needs. I couldn't agree more. Read more

Ubuntu is Goode
Tonight is the first time I caught the new animated comedy TV show, The Goode Family on ABC. The Goode Family was created by Mike Judge of Beavis and Butthead, Office Space, and King of The Hill fame. The ultra-liberal, vegan, Goode family have an adopted son who is a white South African named Ubuntu! They do mispronounce is as You-bun-too, but it's cool none the less. Read more

Hallelujah! Sunday's A Good Day For Racing
Tuesday, 21 February 2012 02:04
But let us have our race Sunday.
Fast they were.
Round they went.
Show us the line,
For all this money we spent.
Though Saturday was best spent watching the much needed raindrops fall from sky, on Sunday the group made it rain with Winter 4 racing. And as you know, where there's updated race results, there's freshly baked points . (Not "baked" points like Enron's books but "baked" points like Martha Steward's homemade cookies.... Hmmm.. maybe that's a bad example.)
