May 3, 2011With strong lyricism, impeccable production, and a consistent tracklist-only "Hydromatic" and "Poppin'" lack the rest of the LP's highlights-DJ Quik has turned in another gem sure to keep lowrider stereos and headphones alike busy throughout the summer and beyond.
May 3, 2011The Book of David is a pleasure-first listening experience, and Quik deploys each of his tricks with a showman's flair.
May 17, 2011In contrast to the self-aware grandeur and show of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, Quik's done much the same thing he did in '91: put out a great rap record, plain and simple.
May 3, 2011Lyrically, he's back to his old tricks--shitting on haters, shouting out himself, somehow rhyming "orange" and having "diamonds like kablooie."
Aug 12, 2011He rationalizes the darkness of Trauma with the breeze and bounce of 1998's Rhythmalism, and the results are often downright hilarious. [Jun 2011, p.60]
Aug 4, 2011Thankfully we finally have some more new Quik in our lives in the form of his eighth solo album, The Book of David, an album that finds the legendary DJ going back to his roots, and creating some nice music in the process.
May 3, 2011The Book of David isn't Quik's finest effort; an album reportedly done in quick fashion, doesn't truly live up to Quik standards. However, it still holds its own in the current field.

MultiDyne Partners with Sterling do Brasil and RPC to Develop Fiber Optic Transport Solution for Studio-to-Transmitter Links
Solution Extends an Analog 10MHz Reference Signal and a 33Mb/s ASI Data Stream (BTS) Over Two Fibers
LOCUST VALLEY, NY â MultiDyne Video & Fiber Optic Systems, a leading provider of fiber optics for the transport of video and audio for broadcast & pro A/V applications, Sterling do Brasil, a leading Brazilian equipment dealer, and RPC (Rede Paranaense de Comunicacao S.A), an independent Brazilian TV Network, have leveraged their expertise to create a complete fiber optic transport solution for studio-to-transmitter (STL) links. The ANDIG-2500-BR will be introduced at the 2008 International Broadcasting Conference (IBC) being held September 12-16, 2008, in Amsterdam (Stand 2.A54).
âMultiDyne, Sterling do Brasil, and RPC have collaborated on designing and developing this unique product to specifically address the requirements of studio to transmitter fiber links in a cost-effective, and space-efficient manner,â? said Bob McAlpine, vice president of global sales and business development for MultiDyne.

The ANDIG-2500-BR (transmitter or receiver) is a 1RU complete fiber optic transport solution for extending a pure analog 10MHz sinusoidal reference signal, and an ASI, SMPTE 33Mb/s data stream over two fibers. Typically used for studioâto-transmitter or studioâto-studio links, the 1RU frame houses two power supplies in both the transmitter and receiver units, providing full power redundancy on both sides. The ASI 33Mb/s data stream transmitter input has 2 BNC connectors offering a convenient loop through feature. The analog section has front panel adjustments for gain, and up to 300m of EQ. The input impedance can be set to 50 ohm or 75 ohm impedance. Both the transmitter and receiver have video and optical front panel status indicators with dry alarm relay contacts. The ANDIG-2500-BR receiver has a dual output for the 33Mb/s data stream, with SMPTE reclocking and EQ.

Hi My daughter has dropped her iphone in a puddle, When she noticed it the display was still on but very faint.She removed the sim card and is trying to extract the moisture with dry rice at the moment but would appreciate any other ideas if this does not work.

Make sure it is turned off.
The gadget show tested all the anecdotal methods of drying out mobiles and found none that was really any more effective than leaving it to dry in a warm environment. Rice scored very lowly.
Put it in the airing cupboard for a few days and then turn it back on.
It is truly a lottery whether it is fried or not.

Hi bremner thanks for your comments sorry it has taken a while to answer lots to do. The phone was in an airing cupboard as well as the rice but was just trying to cover all bases, I knew it was a long shot.

With my lloyds account and my daughters Halifax, as long as the phone is registered then it is insured against accidental damage, water damage and theft, iphones have an excess to pay. Worth checking yours/hers home/bank insurance?

I am sorry but I bought this b/c of all the rave reviews. However, it made me break out after only using it twice. Perhaps my skin is just extra sensitive. I will not be purchasing this again. :O(
Who would have known that something so simple and so inexpensive would work so wonderfully! I wish I would have known about this 10 years ago! This makes my skin so soft and I rarely, if ever, break out. I highly recommend using jojoba oil as a moisturizer!
Thanks to all the great reviews here, I went out and bought myself a small bottle to try. It is the best stuff I have ever used on my face!! I rub in about 5 drops after I wash my face with salicylic cleanser. It absorbs very quickly and immediately soothes and softens my skin. This product will give you immediate results. i noticed that I stopped producing as much oil in my nose and forehead areas the same day that I first tried the jojoba oil. I normally have combination skin with oily t-zone and dry cheeks. Jojoba oil not only reduced my oiliness, but moisturized my cheeks as well. I have been using it for about a month and, dare I say it, I now have "normal skin". I highly recommend this. (I did not use the Desert Essence brand since I could not find it. i used the Escents brand which is easily found in Canada)
this stuff is amazing. my skin is radiant and poreless. i use clinique total turnaround underneath, and then massage in a tiny bit over my cheeks and nose, and under my eyes instead of eye cream. however, i found that it was bit too much for my forehead, kind of broke out there. otherwise, skin is fantastic. try it and u'll love it.
Jojoba oil is a staple for me. Period. Like the other reviewers have said, I was scared to put an oil (or oil-like substance, since technically this is a liquid wax ester) on my already oily, breakout-prone skin, but this has proved that not all oils are bad (in fact, I've found I can tolerate oils pretty well, like hazelnut).
I've been using a drop or two in the morning, patted over my face that's still damp from toning (I use flower waters), and wait a few minutes. Then to help with the finish of it, and help with some of the natural sheen of it, sometimes I'll pat something silicone-based over my t-zone, like PC Skin Balancing Moisturizer or Origins Matte Scientist. And that's it. I use it around my eyes, too. At night I use it more liberally and don't use anything additionally on my t-zone.
My skin is a lot calmer since using jojoba oil (I've been using it on and off for over a year, more 'on' these days). I'm thinking part of why this is is because I'm not using so many products with artificial ingredients in them, especially when it comes to emulsifiers. These are in 95% of moisturizers, and their job is to keep the ingredients mixed together, and to also help with penetration of the ingredients into the skin. As a side effect, they break down the skin's natural barrier, which I've read can lead to more irritation and breakouts. Personally, I'm tired of feeling 'raw' after using a moisturizer. The jojoba oil soothes my face and helps it to feel protected, without feeling coated and suffocated. And I'm not breaking out as much.
Sorry for the length of this review, I'm just really happy to share my experience with it. By the way, I've been getting it from mountainroseherbs.com. The oil is organic golden (meaning unrefined) jojoba oil, and it's the best I've tried. The price is great, too. I just transfer it into an amber bottle to protect it better, although it's pretty stable on it's own.
*edit* I don't really use this much anymore these days, but not because I don't like it anymore, but only because I'm using other things. I don't believe jojoba to be a miracle, but I do like it as an ingredient, and look for it in products that I buy. I like a little bit more in the way of active products these days (sunscreen, retinol, light serums).
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This stuff is great. I tried it based on other reviews here, and I couldn't agree more. I couldn't believe I was putting oil on my face, but it made my face so smooth. The only downside is the packaging, but this will be a lifetime keeper in my medicine cabinet. I mix a few drops in my facial moisturizer, and in my body lotion. Also, it removes my eye makeup, which is not waterproof.
Jojoba oil is THE best thing I have ever put on my face. After all of the searching for something to control my acne yet give me a glow without drying me out...that time has finally come. This stuff has made a huge difference in my pore size, less breakouts, and overall glow. Its dirt cheap too...
I feel that this is skincare's best kept secret. I try to tell everyone I can about it. To think something so simple could provide this much improvement!
The MUA reviews helped me to decide and go ahead and order it. I get it on ebay for $6.75 for 8 oz. I'm going to now start adding other EO's and come up with a jojoba oil blend for added enhancements. If you have any doubts in this product...don't decide until you try. get to the closest health food store and get some today.
TERRIFIC!!! I, too, read the reviews, looking for a moisturizer that 'does it all' - and jojoba oil does! One week's time, and the three large cyst-like bumps I had on the side of my cheek are practically gone (and NOTHING ever worked on them - I've had them for practically a year)! It feels like it just sits on the skin, but my makeup goes on smooth over it. I use it just before bed, and right after my shower in the morning. This is so much IT that I HAD to write a review!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Hooray! My skin mauled by years of Tazorac and benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid is beaming after just days of using this moisturizer! Superduperlight-mattifying-fancy-pants formulas for my oily t-zone and acne just weren't enough for my dry flaky medicated areas. With a heavier moisturizer, I only ended up with more oil and more zits and more chaos.
Like others MUAers, I'm absolutely impressed this product doesn't cause breakouts or lead to a slick, greasy, shiny face. What I have now is softer, smoother, calmer skin. Finally something with which I am HAPPY. Wonderful! You must give this a try!!!! --one suggestion: avoid the eyelids when moisturizing--my (Stila) eyeshadow that usually stays on well creased within a few hours due to the oil, even after a preparation and finish with translucent powder--
After reading all these wonderful reviews on how great this product is. I got convinced and went out and bought it (Sun Harvest) 7.99
for a small bottle. Not Bad! I've only used it for 2 nites now.... So far my skin is soft as a baby's bottom and I haven't worn that much makeup lately. So I would say it's working and fast. It's also great for dry hair! I will be repurchasing. You should Give this a try!**UPDATE** It has been a little over two weeks since using this product and I must say I bought this because I didnt have much $$ for my regular HG moisturizer. And man, I am so impressed with this stuff!! I have had NO breakouts my skin is so soft and even makes my makeup look clean. I use this for my hair, makeup primer, moistuizer, and on those dry patches on my skin. This is such a WONDERFUL product that i even went out and bought sweet almond oil and add a drop or two to this oil. Good results! I dont think I can live without this stuff --- i highly recommend! I took off one lippie because the packaging sux! So i use a small bottle with a dropper. way better!

You can now filter search results with text. Example: "person: john" will search only person pages for "john".
Platinum Games' sequel delivers nuanced, non-stop action that stands among the best in its genre.
Driveclub looks nice and has a couple of good ideas about handling leaderboard challenges, but the core of it--actually driving a car--drags the entire thing down.
It's been a while since the xenomorph was worth being scared of, and while Alien: Isolation runs a little long, it's a hellacious ride.
Concept »
Sometimes when accepting a quest or mission of killing someone a request is made for evidence that the target (or targets) is dead in the form of the objectives head being brought back to the quest giver.
Games which feature characters who have an accessible character screen which might include their stats / abilites / inventory etc.
Infinite Pockets are a system of inventory often found in adventure games. The player character's pockets seem to be of an infinite size, capable of holding anything from peanuts, to garden rakes, to spare tires, yet none of this is reflected on the character.
Sometimes, players experience an unfortunate event that results in all their weapons and items being taken away from them.
Inventory items that are living creatures.
Entering in-game menus like quest logs or inventories does not pause the gameplay.
The successor of the Aurora Engine. Created by Bioware for Knights of the Old Republic.
Power Ups can be used to give the controlling character, or any other character, temporary or permanent upgrades.
Game mechanics traditionally found in role-playing games that are incorporated into a non-RPG title.
What do you mean? Everyone knows you run faster with a knife!
Some games only allow the player character to carry a single item in their inventory at one time.
Popularized by franchises such as Resident Evil, Silent Hill and Alone in the Dark, these games typically involve a strong implication of danger, vulnerable protagonists, and disturbing monsters.
A trope commonly seen in RPGs, where a character in your party disbands without warning during a story event. Usually taking all the best gear you equipped them with.
Found in many First Person Shooters or Role Playing Games, the player has the ability to swap his/her current weapon for another found on the ground or in his/her inventory.

St. Polycarp Comments
Imagine being able to sit at the feet of the apostles and hear their stories of life with Jesus from their own lips. Imagine walking with those who had walked with Jesus, seen him, and touched him. That was what Polycarp was able to do as a disciple of Saint John the Evangelist. But being part of the second generation of Church leaders had challenges that the first generation could not teach about. What did you do when those eyewitnesses ... Continue Reading

I have heard the name Polycarp off and on throughout my life, but never knew much about him. So today, I looked up his bio on your site and somehow feel closer to Christ. Thank you and the Saint.

When I was a young boy in school, a nun told us the story about St. Polycarp. After Vatican II, I forgot all about those old saints so I could concentrate on myself and the people of God in my neighborhood. Now that I am old man, it is good to get re-acquainted with some of the people who gave their lives for their belief in Jesus Christ

Another great example of the imitation of Christ. How can any one with blood pumping through there veins not be touched by this great Saint. God bless you all.

Typical of 'Saints and Angels' website, the narrative was very interesting.
In the Benedictus Antiphon of today's Morning Prayer (Breviary) there is a prayer attributed to St. Polycarp.which runs like this; "I have been a servant of Christ for eighty-six years and no evil has come near me; how can I now speak against my king who has saved me?" We don't find a mention of it in the narration.

I am priest. Every day I need to prepare a homily to give my people so every time I look for more information in the internet about saints. I feel very happy that I can find this information available here. Thanks a lot

I find it more informative now because more details about his life, his works, his strong faith, courage and bravery were told. I see the entire picture of his life. Thanks.

I am interested ain reading the writeings of Polycarp. Do you have web site that I could search.

Over at The New Republic, Ruth Franklin has one of the most rational pieces on Amazon.com that I've seen in a long while. She wrote this in response to Colin Robinson's The Trouble with Amazon article that appeared in a recent issue of The Nation. (And which I haven't read, because after subscribing to The Nation, I received all of four issues before someone promptly deleted my information. I've been too busy/lazy to try and correct this, so I'm always behind . . .)
Thankfully Ruth recaps this piece and Colin's main objections: that "its business policies are inarguably draconian," that discounting has hurt publishers and authors, that the "tendency of the Internet shopper to search rather than browse leads to a 'loss of serendipity' that was once key to the way people discovered new books. Criticisms that are valid and valuable, and also fairly common and well-documented. As Ruth wittily puts it, "I might as well try to defend Pol Pot."
(When I gave a report on Jeff Bezos for business school, the general reaction was that Amazon's business practices weren't nearly as vicious or capitalist enough. Most b-school kids think book people are sissies. Then again, these opinions were coming from students who respect the banking industry. And EvilWylie has shit on the bankers of the world.)
Ruth nails it when she points out the primary advantage of Amazon:
But we have known all this for a long time. The real trouble with Amazon, it seems, is that nobody truly believes we were better off without it. This is where the often-made comparison of Amazon with other monoliths such as Wal-Mart falters. Wal-Mart is not known for its catalog of obscurities; the merchandise it sells is all available elsewhere. It put the mom-and-pop drugstores and hardware stores and grocery stores out of business by offering the same items that they sold, just at lower prices.
This isn't the case with Amazon. Before it appeared on the scene, if you lived in a part of the country that happened not to be served by a great independent bookstore, you were out of luck when it came to getting books other than bestsellers. As a child growing up in suburban Baltimore—not exactly a backwater!—I felt keenly the lack of ready access to the books that I wanted. (Remember the joke of a selection at your local mall's Waldenbooks?) And with the quirkier independents—such as the great Louie's to which I paid tribute above—you were at the mercy of the owner's idiosyncrasies, which meant that you might find shelves stocked with contemporary poetry but nothing by, say, Tolstoy.
I know I've said this before, but I grew up in Essexville, Michigan. You know how many books by Tolstoy were available at our local bookstore? Exactly zero. Same as the number of bookstores we had in town. I don't even know what my childhood would've been like if I could've ordered any book my head desired.
It's all fine to now praise the availability of near everything to nearly everyone, but I particularly like this bit about the general publishing business model:
If the publishing industry is suffering from the price-lowering trend that Amazon has led (though not entirely on its own), it also has its own poor business practices to blame. Robinson quotes a boss at Scribner, where he used to work, saying a few years ago that in terms of advances, "$50,000 is the new $100,000." This isn't a scandal; it is a necessary correction to inflated prices in the wake of a global recession. I understand that the metrics can be somewhat complicated, but a system in which 70 percent of books do not earn back their advances is destined to collapse. There's something to be said for supporting books of quality regardless of how much revenue they bring in—this is why literary houses also publish diet books—but in recent years the amounts have gotten out of hand. Jonathan Littell's The Kindly Ones was a prize-winner and bestseller in France, but no one could have imagined that a 900-plus-page novel about a Nazi could sell anywhere near enough copies in the U.S. market to earn back the $1 million that Harper paid for English rights. (It reportedly sold fewer than 20,000.)
This is also all very true—and very well documented.
I know this is a personal flaw, but I tend to get defensive when people lay into Amazon and complain about how it's ruining book culture. For fuck's sake, there are dozens of things that have been ruining book culture for years and years and years. Suburban chains, TV, World of Warcraft, thousands of crappy books that are shoved down our throat, etc., etc. But what really gets me is what I see as the inherent hypocrisy in all this. Big publishers are big corporations wedded to the concepts of the free market and pure capitalist beliefs. The same principles that ensure that way more of [insert big six publisher of choice here]'s books are displayed, sold, reviewed, and pimped than those from [insert indie/nonprofit publisher of choice here]. The same principles that ensure certain books don't get published because they're "too literary" and the P&L sheets don't work out. This is the same game that allowed Amazon to become so powerful. As Ruth Franklin concludes, "Amazon is a quintessential capitalist enterprise, and it cannot be faulted for exploiting the free-market system that, for better or worse, we have embraced." And yet we do. Loudly and vitriolically.
Ideally things would be different. I'd love to live in an America where literary fiction was still appreciated, where indie bookstores were a key business in every neighborhood, where people talked more about actual books and less about how well they did in the marketplace, where there was a lot more book coverage and a lot more book coverage devoted to "smaller books" from smaller presses. A LOT would have to change for something like this to happen. A fixed book price law. A much larger public-private investment in literature and literary culture. A bit of a cultural sea change away from TV and Twitter and back to reading. In this socialist paradise, Amazon probably wouldn't be quite so powerful. But until that day comes, I have to say, for all the unsavory business practices they might embody, it sure is nice that I can order a copy of Cossery's The Jokers, since there are no indie stores in town and the local B&N doesn't carry it.
Since I'm fuming today over a number of things (including the general shittiness of my ultra-slow computer), I want to end by simply saying that I don't think the relationship Amazon plays in book culture is all that cut and dry. There are good aspects and bad. There are nuances. There is predatory pricing, the long tail, a wonderful grant program, ways to make book recommendations more social, and the questionable effects of automatizing recommendations. We all love having a purely evil enemy, but Amazon is part of a complex publishing ecosystem that has a lot of flaws and middling enemies.
At least that's my opinion. At this moment.

The July 6, 2009 issue of National Review includes a review by the excellent David Pryce-Jones of a new book about the demented and destructive sex life of Lord Byron.
Bertrand Russell, of all philosophers, pointed out that Byron's concept of freedom was the same as that of a German prince or a Cherokee chief: the pleasure of doing as one pleases and not having to account for it.
Pryce-Jones ends the review with a melancholy reflection that Bryon's notion of freedom has become mainstream.

Byron opened the way for men and women everywhere to indulge in whatever they like without moral judgment or acceptance of responsibility. Conduct that was once offensive has become commonplace. The …

More than worth listening to. Hat tip, Jonah Goldberg at the Corner
Thanks for pointing that out Katie. I had not seen that entire quote.
I figured that that's what he meant, though, because of the wording I did read (and cite in my post). Chaput didn't say the Synod was confused, but that the "public image that came across" was one of confusion.
Oct. 28 at 7:20pm | See in context
Jules, I love your point and agree with it entirely. But it might be good to add here that the Archbishop seemed to be at least partly blaming bad reporting for the confusion he so lamented.
Well, first of all, I wasn't there. That's very significant, because to claim you know what really happened when you weren't there is foolish. To get your information from the press is a mistake because they don't know well enough how to understand it so they can tell people what happened. I don't think the press deliberately distorts, they just don't have any background to be able to evaluate things. In some cases they're certainly the enemy and they want to distort the Church.
Now, having said all that, I was very disturbed by what happened. I think confusion is of the devil, and I think the public image that came across was of confusion. Now, I don't think that was the real thing there.
His comments (which can be read in full here) remind me of Pope Benedict's address to the priests of Rome about Vatican II. Fault for the post-couciliar confusion lay with the media, not the Council itself.

Thank you, Gary!
I think it's yet another case of a false alternative: EITHER you don't care about godless cultural trends OR you pour all your energy into political or activist solutions. There is, of course, a place for politics and activism, but if we don't start by making sure we're headed in the right direction ourselves, there's very little we can do for anyone else, much less the culture at large.

Devra - thank you for another thought-provoking reminder to celebrate the Savior's birth and not get caught up in the culture wars and never actually honor the occasion itself.

I'm all in favor. I think it's a great gift for the faithful to get to see, in real time, the way the teachings of the Church are worked out in human terms.
It's always been messy. It's always been politically fraught.
The only thing that has distressed me surrounding the Synod is the reaction to it among traditionalists, which has struck me as depressingly faithfuless. (Don't we believe the Holy Spirit is at work? Don't we trust fully that the Church will not fall into error? Don't we really see the Pope as the Vicar of Christ?)

Peter, I'm sorry we don't see eye to eye. You see me throwing out red herrings and trying to prove something. I see myself explaining my reasoning and the meaning of the claim in our essay.
I'm afraid there isn't enough common ground to make the discussion fruitful.
Oct. 18 at 8:44am | See in context
This brings up the next point about doctrines. Doctrines are rules written by human beings. God does not write rules. God can inspire rules and humans can do their best in translating God's revelation of The Rule into rules but God does not write rules, God is the Rule.
This reminds me of Flannery O'Connor's quote from, A Prayer Journal:
"No one can be an atheist who does not know all things. Only God is an atheist. The devil is the greatest believer and he has his reasons (p74)."
Oct. 16 at 6:18pm | See in context
Through Grace if a person is fortunate enough, the person may experience flashes of God or insights into God, which can remain anchored in the psyche as reference points for reframing the person's reality.
The term "false gods" is a misnomer for misunderstandings under the One True God. All persons of all religions share the same God and all religions may be operating under misunderstandings unique to the religion. For Catholics, Jesus Christ was the One True God, and having the teachings of Christ at Catholicism's disposal is a great advantage to encountering the One True God, but this doesn't mean persons who practice Catholicism are not operating under misunderstandings of the One True God.
This is due to: 1) the inherent problems of translating the teachings of Jesus Christ into a religion and 2) the nature of each person's unique spiritual potential. There are no such things as "false gods". There is only God and misunderstandings.
Oct. 16 at 6:16pm | See in context
The One True God reins over persons under such misunderstandings the same as He does persons who see Him clearly, persons all of who are subject to God's Divine Providence.
More specifically and to frame it for the Catholic, these misunderstandings are unresolved aspects of the person stemming from the person's connection with original sin and either made more convoluted by the free choices of the person or relinquished by freely choosing to surrender to God one's unresolved aspects stemming from original sin, thereby removing the obstruction to God to the extent possible for the person and thus increasing the person's awareness of God.
These kinds of misunderstandings are the obstructions to seeing and experiencing true spiritual power. As a Catholic, you could say we all have these misunderstandings to a certain degree so that even the "god" that Catholics refer to falls short of the Real Thing and thus even Catholics may worship "false gods" and have misunderstandings.
Oct. 16 at 6:10pm | See in context
Persons don't have "false gods" they have misunderstandings, those of which persons with other "false gods" or misunderstandings call "false gods".
The term "false god" is oxymoronic and the notion of a "false god" is an empty one. There is no objective metaphysical reality in existence besides the One True God. God is complex and has many mysterious qualities and attributes that persons have attributed separate, distinct and objective metaphysical realities apart from God to, but any of these that can truly be attributed to God are derivative of the One True God and are merely references to the One True God's spiritual powers by degree and kind.
Anything else that cannot truly be attributed to God that someone may call a metaphysical reality is a misunderstanding attributed to the limited awareness of the person. Examples of misunderstandings attributed to the limited awareness of persons are demons and/or ghosts; these are not objective metaphysical realities. They are real in the sense that they can be dangerous and destructive to persons who experience them and to others who find themselves in their path, but they are merely misunderstandings and have no bearing against the spiritual powers of God.

Better connecting people to places in the face of car dependency
While reading an article about the way cheap parking encourages driving, "Low parking costs may encourage automobile use," I saw this quote; I think it nails the relationship between sprawl development and limited transportation options:
During the past 25 years, the number of miles Americans drive has grown three times faster than the U.S. population. The predominant form of development, low-density sprawl, has encouraged automobile use and has worsened the challenges of providing convenient and low-cost public transportation.
Put this together with Rebecca Burns' article this year that explores the way Metro Atlanta's car-sprawl caused so many people to be stranded in a snow storm, and you've got a clear answer to the question of why the metro doesn't have better transit options.
As long as we continue to build and maintain car-scaled developments and cheap parking — and surround that with car-focused infrastructure that hinders walkability and safe, convenient cycling — the metro as a whole will be stuck in a rut of car dependency. And it affects us all, even the ones who live in little bubbles of walkable, urban spaces, because it prevents those bubbles from being connected well. (Example: Downtown Woodstock, in the northern part of Metro Atlanta, is a decently-walkable pocket of human-scaled density. But try getting there without a car; and try operating a business there without cheap parking.)
This shouldn't be a politicized issue of big-city urbanites versus suburbanites. This should be an issue of smart moves that allow people the freedom to connect to their needs in multiple ways without being forced into car ownership. And it should be about the freedom to build businesses that don't require heavy expenditures for car storage via parking minimums — something that limits commercial construction to moneyed, big developers and big projects (think: sprawlburbs littered with big-box stores) instead of allowing for small-scale, incremental growth.
Can leaders region-wide accept the challenge of connecting roads now disconnected by cul-de-sacs, rezoning for mixed uses and increased density, and sacrificing some car lanes to make way for pedestrian & cycling infrastructure? I hope so. Because that's part of what it will take to allow for a reversal of car dependency on a large scale — and not only in bubbles here and there.

The rise of walkable places & what it does (or doesn't) mean for low-income neighborhoods
Writer Kaid Benfield has an excellent new post this week: Why urban demographers are right about the trend toward downtowns and walkable suburbs. It covers a lot of ground, primarily providing a data-based rebuttal to arguments, by some, that trends toward walkable urbanism are going to be short lived.
He references reliable data that supports the following promising trends:
- In the coming decades, walkable cities and retrofitted suburbs will continue to gain favor over car-dependent sprawl for housing
- After decades of fleeing downtowns for office parks and exurban campuses, corporations are moving back to walkable, transit-connected cities
- The US has hit a peak in vehicle miles traveled (VMT), on both a per capita and absolute basis, implying less car dependency in the lives of Americans
As Benfield importantly points out about these trends: "this is not urbanist wishful thinking. These are facts." The numbers don't lie. The trend for the future in the US is toward walkable, compact places. Local governments that continue to embrace car-centric sprawl are investing in a form that is falling out of favor with Americans, and they will likely pay a price for it over time.
Benfield also addresses claims that growth in urbanism is not a positive trend because it provides no benefit to lower-income populations in cities. He points out that, though it's true that urbanism itself is providing no clear solution to the bad schools, chronic unemployment, higher crime rates and poor health of low-income residents, neither is anything else. Tragically, "very little that has been tried over the past several decades has had a pronounced, lasting impact to lift people out of poverty."
I'll add this: moving Downtown has afforded my family and I the first clear look at widespread poverty that we've had. Our recent trip to Wesview Cemetery took us through neighborhoods west of Downtown that are filled with abandoned houses and other hallmarks of economic hardship; see Rebecca Burns' recent video for a taste of the landscape.
Even though economic (and other) monocultures exist in Atlanta on neighborhood levels, living in the compact urban core inevitably puts you face-to-face with a wide spectrum of people, which forces you to think about the city's divides.
I have no data to support this, but I can't help but believe that it's helpful in the long term for us to be more aware and informed about each other via this face-to-face contact. Political leadership will be key in addressing poverty in Atlanta, but the trend toward walkable urbanism, putting us in closer contact with the city's diversity, will also help facilitate positive change.

— Housing shortage or urbanism shortage? For a number of very good reasons, there aren't enough walkable urban places to meet demand | Dan Zack, Bettercities.net, 2/18/2014
Do yourself a favor and read this excellent post on pedestrian rights from a social-equity perspective, written by blogger Jason Segedy who's Tumbr is thestile1972.
He writes about the struggles of pedestrians in Akron, OH (particularly on winter streets), but his thoughts easily transcend Akron, applying to the many car-centric places in our world.
Here's a good quote:
There is a lot of buzz in the planning community right now about walkable streets. Planners are debating whether, or to what degree, walkable cities attract young people, "talent", etc.
But the whole debate is irrelevant. The bottom-line on walkability is that people should be able to walk easily and safely in cities. Period.

F3 Open: Urrutia Leads RP Motorsport One-Two at Silverstone
Santiago Urrutia converted the pole position into a Europen F3 Open race two win at Silverstone
(Photo: Fotospeedy)
RP Motorsport has got a new one-two finish in the European F3 Open series on Sunday (July 14), after a superb performance from Santiago Urrutia and Sandy Stuvik at the Silverstone Circuit in England. With the runner-up finish, Stuvik increases his lead in the overall standing. The Copa class was won by Richard Gonda (Drivex), the Slovakian also pulling away in the overall classification after a troublesome Saturday.
Urrutia, who is 16 years old, set the pole position in the morning, after a closely-fought battle with Stuvik, and the second row was made up of the Team West-Tec duo of Ed Jones and Canadian Nelson Mason. At the start, Urrutia and Stuvik kept first and second place, while behind Mason overtook Jones to take third place. On lap three, both RP Motorsport cars were looking too strong for Mason and Jones, pulling away from the duo and the rest of the field. Drama hit Mason, first being passed by Jones, and just a few meters after Hector Hurst (Emilio de Villota Motorsport) and clashed, ending their chances at a place on the podium.
The fight for victory was wide open until the end, with Stuvik trying to overtake Urrutia, with no success. In the end, it was a great result for RP Motorsport, Urrutia who now lies third overall - winning, Stuvik second, increasing his lead. Jones reached the checkered flag nine seconds later in third, continuing to hold second overall in the title fight.
Spain´s Alex Toril (RP Motorsport) was fourth after another good race for Córdoba-born driver. He lost some places on lap one, but he had a steady recovery lap by lap. Alexandre Cougnaud (RP Motorsport), Yarin Stern (Emilio de Villota Motorsport), and Alexey Chuklin (Emilio de Villota Motorsport) were fun to watch, battling each other. The Russian driver was fifth, but on lap 11 he got passed by Cougnaud and Stern. Anyway the Frenchman got a 30 seconds penalty after the race, so fifth place was for Stern and Chuklin was sixth. Emil Bernstorff (Team West-Tec), making his series debut, has finished seventh at his home round, with both BVM drivers, Vicky Piria and Mario Marasca, close behind. Mason was a DNF, having retired on lap five.
In the Copa, Gonda took another win at the wheel of the Drivex Dallara F308. Gonda claimed another pole position in second qualifying session, and despite struggling to pass some cars at the start, his race pace was quite faster than his rivals´. He won after overtaking even some Dallara F312 cars. Cameron Twynham (Team West-Tec) ended up second, and third was for Mexico´s Gerardo Nieto (DAV Racing). It´s worth noting, both Tommaso Menchini (Corbetta Competizioni) and Nicholas Pohler (DAV Racing) retired after podium finishes in race one.
The European F3 Open season continues on September 7-8, with two races at the Circuit Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium.
The top-three, along with how the North American racers did, will be posted following every session on the
