So… if you're not familiar with Krampus, let me tell you about this awesome fucker right here. Krampus, sometimes called the Christmas Devil, is older than Jesus. That's right, he's a pre-Christian, Alpine Pagan tradition and has been described as a "boozy goat-horned menace that whips naughty children around Europe." He's typically got matted black hair, a tongue to make Gene Simmons (or your girlfriend) jealous, big devil horns, a cloven hoof or two…. and probably a corkscrew cock that's barbed like a housecat's. (After all, it's also said that he can (and will) sex your woman better than you can.) He has chains and sometimes bells that he rattles, and a big bundle of thorny birch sticks that he uses to beat those naughty kiddies with… and sometimes plump young ladies, making him possibly one of the oldest kinksters out there. He's also got a big ass sack or wicker basket he carries on his back and uses to take naughty children off to Hel… or to his lair to eat them, depending on which version of the legend you're reading.
His name comes from the German word krampen, which means "claw," (or "giddy child murderer.") Europeans have been exchanging greeting cards featuring Krampus since the 1800s. Sometimes introduced with Gruß vom Krampus (Greetings from the Krampus), the cards usually have humorous rhymes and poems and sometimes feature Krampus looming menacingly over children or spanking buxom women. He's is Hel's son, and if you didn't know, the giantess Hel is Loki's daughter, the ruler of the underworld… which makes Krampus Loki's Grandson and Fenrir's nephew. He's actually buddies with St. Nicholas and they have this good cop, bad cop thing going on. It's rather simple: If you're good, St. Nick will give you gifts. If you're bad, he doesn't leave you a lump of coal in your stocking, that's part of the typical American habit of making badass Eurpoean legends more palatable to us pussy ass Americans. (Seriously, have you read the original Little Mermaid?) In Austria and Germany, if you're a bad kid, Santa lets Krampus beat the shit out of you with his bundle of switches and carry you off in his basket. So I guess that kind of makes Krampus one of Santa's helpers.
According to folklore, Krampus purportedly shows up in towns the night before December 6, known as Krampusnacht, or Krampus Night. December 6 also happens to be Nikolaustag, or St. Nicholas Day, when German children look outside their door to see if the shoe they left out the night before contains either presents (a reward for good behavior) or a rod (for bad behavior).
A more modern take on the tradition in Austria, Germany, Hungary, Slovenia, and the Czech Republic involves drunken men dressed as devils, who take over the streets for a Krampuslauf—a Krampus Run of sorts, when people are chased through the streets by the "devils."
Personally, I think Krampus sounds a lot more fun than Santa Claus. This year, I've been a very naughty girl and I'm waiting for Krampus to come spank me.
I'm calling this a speedpaint because it took me about two hours. I know there are much more talented artists out there who are capable of doing much more badass artworks in less time, but I'm not there yet. This was an experiment to make things look like oil paint in Photoshop. Hopefully sometime in the near future I'll be able to figure out how to make things look like watercolor.

Don't laugh. This is unfinished and I don't think I'm going to finish him. I'm just messing around. My point is, I think I finally figured out how to make shit look like oil paint in Photoshop.
(He kind of looks like the lovechild of a Warcraft troll and a Lord of the Rings Dwarf. He's supposed to be a Werewolf Metis in human form. His name is Nero.)

I stay busy enough drawing at work, plus most of those custom tattoo drawings end up being homework if I'm booked with appointments all day, so at this point I need all the me time I can get to work on my own projects and experiment with new methods.

Sri Lanka batsman Thilan Samaraweera wants to retire from all forms of cricket but bosses are trying to persuade him otherwise. Sri Lanka Cricket secretary Nishantha Ranatunga confirmed that Samaraweera had handed a resignation letter to him on Tuesday. "We requested Thilan to have a meaningful dialogue with the national selectors before finalising such a decision," Ranatunga told reporters. "At a time like this when some of the senior cricketers are suffering from injuries, a cricketer of Thilan's experience is vital to the national team," he said. Samaraweera was named as a replacement for the injured Mahela Jayawardene in the initial squad of 20 for the first test against Bangladesh starting at Galle on March 8 but was left out when it was cut to 16. The 36-year-old right-hand middle-order batsman has played in 81 Tests for his country since 2001 and scored 5,462 runs at an average of 48.76. He has also appeared in 53 one-day internationals.

This dining set was really pretty when I got it but a little too red of a wood for my taste so I painted all the chairs and legs of the table with Rust-Oleum 2X's cover in Fossil. It's a spray paint.
I stripped the table top and sanded it really good. Even without stain on it, the wood was really red.
(no before pic ... time?)
THIS technique.
It came with 5 beautiful chairs and I painted a bench to go with it.
The chairs had fabric seats which were in great condition. I left the fabric alone.
So even though this dining set is in a new home, I had to share it with you too.
I will keep my eye out for another unique piece.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving as you gather around your own dining table.

Israel to solidify control of Mediterranean gas fields
Israel to solidify control of Mediterranean gas fields: commentator
…by Jim W. Dean, VT Editor, … with Press TV, Tehran
[ Note: The topic for this interview was Netanyahu's refusal to stop settlement expansion even during the peace talks.
So I had to quickly review the long used Zionist tactics for killing the peace talks and then blaming Abbas. But you know me, I also wanted to get in an issue that our wonderful free press refuses to discuss, which is the huge elephant in the room.
And that is how will the ownership of the off shore oil and gas fields be split up. We know what the Israeli position is going to be..."We take everything...because we have WMD and who is going to stop us?" "Can you feel the love?"
They even plan on taking Lebanon's which is why they are keep the boot on their necks like they are. It is not really because they are a security threat. They want this pre-war condition to prevent them to getting any exploration and development going as they know that income will make them must stronger opponents to compete with.
Because no one has mentioned this before, Press VT went with the gas fields control issue in the main title. And that why I used the pipeline banner image..so you can see why Syria is being cut up. Another pipeline can go through north Syria with Gulf gas and oil and tie into the European pipeline.
'They' want to cut all of their local neighbors out of those future riches, and long term, replace Europe's needing Russian gas. All the security issues are a smokescreen for another battle to get control not only of these reserves (while denying them to others) but also the distribution.
It is, beginning, middle and end...always about money. There really isn't another issue for these people, period. The rest are just for show.]
– First published March 10, 2014 -
Press TV has conducted an interview with Jim W. Dean, managing editor of Veteran's Today, Atlanta about the Israeli PM opposing the freezing of illegal settlement building as a condition for the extension of talks.
You can see the 4 minute video interview at this Press TV link. For some strange reason, American media never calls us to do interviews like this, not even Democracy Now. Gosh…I wonder why?
The following is an approximate transcript of the interview.
Press TV: Basically Netanyahu has said he is going to do what he wants to do. How likely is it that the United States would actually this time around try to put some pressure on Tel Aviv to get them to at least stop expanding the illegal settlements? Do you see Washington playing any kind of a role in that?
Dean: Well, they actually do have a lot of pressure on them now, but the regular Likud Party structure and strategy for hailing the Americans has always been to slow down the process.
And they use this subversion they have on our Congress to try to drag the process out as long as possible and that undermines the prestige of the White House not being able to get anything done and then they try to have them lower their demands. So you have that aspect of it.
Then number two, they are always trying to get the Palestinians to leave the negotiations, because they're continuing the settlements, so then they can turn around and say, "See we have no partner for peace. How can we have peace if the other side doesn't want it".
Of course, nobody believes that, but they've never been punished for that.
And then part three, which is kind of a wild card: they are also stalling because of the destabilization efforts that are going on particularly in Syria. They want to buy time and see how that works out because if Syria is less of a potential threat to them that could make them feel a little more comfortable.
And then the last item is – which doesn't really get any coverage in the news – they're really trying to buy time to solidify control of off-shore gas fields in the Mediterranean, particularly the ones that don't belong to them like Gaza and some other areas.
And for some reason corporate media is not discussing this at all because it represents huge money and I can assure you the Israelis are focused intently on securing those gas fields.
Press TV: So you are saying basically a lot of this stuff is a smokescreen in order so they can get more control of the gas fields. That is the actual goal?
Dean: That is the Holy Grail prize when all of this is done. And this is why as a strategy, rather than just let the governments do, we need to up the game and punish them for stalling.
And the easiest thing we can do is expand the BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions movement) settlements boycott into a 'weapons of mass destruction boycott'.
I just don't understand why all of these organizations just don't call for complete economic boycott on Israel until they turn over all of their WMDs to intentional authorities and they just don't let them get away with this.
Then, also put up the issue of reparations to Palestinian people. The … lobbies have been very big on reparations and having people pay reparations for generations and I can't understand why after the tremendous punishment that's been dealt to the Palestinians that no one wants to bring this up.

The stretch of Wilson Blvd between N. Frederick and Manchester Streets is planned to be reduced from four lanes to three next spring.
The change has been advocated by the Bluemont Civic Association (BCA) for years, and the neighborhood's representatives have posited that the lane reduction, coupled with sidewalk expansion, will make the corridor more walkable without increasing traffic congestion.
The project, which Arlington County says is in design phase with reconfiguration set for spring 2015, will reduce westbound and eastbound traffic to one lane each, while adding a center lane for left turns and bike lanes on either side of the street. The plan also calls for consolidating bus stops in this stretch to reduce possible congestion.
Currently, there are no funded plans to expand the sidewalks.
County staff is holding a general community meeting on Nov. 20, from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m., at Arlington Traditional School (855 N. Edison Street), to discuss the plans. The county also plans for a "robust community notification process throughout the corridor," before the restriping and repaving work begins.
The plans to reduce the lanes on Wilson Blvd was initially recommended by the BCA's Sidewalk Safety Task Force and supported by the BCA in October 2012. Arlington decided to incorporate the plans when it made its restriping and repaving calendar for this year.
"We are grateful that Arlington County is listening to us and working to make our 'Main Street' a safer and more pleasant place for all residents and visitors," BCA President John Lau said in a press release. "Working together, the efforts of neighborhood residents and county officials have led us to this long-awaited first step for improving our neighborhood and an important Arlington corridor."
While the county approved the requested changes to Wilson Blvd's lane configuration, the BCA's requests to have the power lines — with poles located on Wilson Blvd's sidewalks — moved underground was deemed prohibitively expensive by the county. The BCA is also hoping that the improvements be extended for all of Wilson Blvd west of N. Glebe Road, something county staff said it will continue to explore.
"This is a demonstration project that will be monitored further by the County to determine whether a complete streets project — currently unfunded — is viable along the entire section of Wilson Boulevard, west of North Glebe Road," the project website reads. "If successful, staff will continue to work with the community to develop this future potential project."
The plan, when it was being discussed last June, received some concern for businesses located along the corridor. The sidewalk task force reported businesses were "extremely concerned" that reducing the number of lanes would "gum up traffic to the point where they would lose business."
The BCA cited the stretch of Washington Blvd west of N. Glebe Road, which goes from four lanes to two and has higher peak traffic volume, as an example of why the Wilson Blvd proposal won't significantly worsen traffic.

A man who got drunk, sped down the wrong way of a one-way street in Clarendon and caused a crash that seriously injured a pedestrian earlier this year has pleaded guilty to a felony charge.
Pentagon City resident Benjamin Andruss, 37, pleaed guilty yesterday to felony DUI maiming. He is scheduled to be sentenced in February.
The crash happened between 8:30 and 9:00 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 12. Prosecutors say Andruss had just left First Down Sports Bar in Ballston, where he had consumed 4-5 beers and three glasses of whiskey while watching afternoon football games. A friend encouraged him to take a cab, but Andruss insisted on driving.
Andruss drove from the Ballston Common Mall parking garage to Clarendon, revving the engine of his Mercedes-Benz at stop lights and "speeding the whole way," prosecutors said. At the intersection of Wilson, Clarendon and Washington Blvds, he again revved his engine at the stop light, then accelerated straight through the intersection when the light turned green.
Andruss sped the wrong way down Wilson Blvd, past Spider Kelly's and other bars. His Mercedes ran up on the sidewalk, striking the side of the Clarendon War Memorial. In his path was a pedestrian, a man around 30 years old who works for the U.S. Department of Energy.
The pedestrian tried to dive out of the way, but Andruss struck a parked car, which then struck the pedestrian. The man regained consciousness in the middle of the street.
From a statement of facts entered by prosecutors as part of the plea:
He was taken by ambulance to GW Hospital, where he was treated for numerous injuries to his head and left elbow. Both required serious treatment. His head required more than a dozen staples. His broken elbow required surgery, the insertion of a metal plate, and screws to ensure regained functionality. The elbow now has a permanent visible scar. And [the victim], despite weeks of physical therapy, has yet to regain – and may never regain – a full range of motion.
After the crash, the Defendant exited the vehicle and appeared to try to walk away. He was prevented from doing so by onlookers. The Defendant was described as unsteady on his feet, with slurred speech and bloodshot/glassy eyes. He repeatedly "fell" into an officer's arms as they spoke. The Defendant admitted to drinking and refused to perform all field sobriety tests. He was placed under arrest at 9:20pm.
"Mr. Andruss made a series of poor decisions that evening," Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney Josh Katcher told ARLnow.com. "He drank too much, he didn't take a cab, he drove recklessly from Ballston to Clarendon, and then he drove the wrong way, down the wrong street, at the wrong time."
"Try to imagine this from the victim's perspective: he's minding his own business, walking down a sidewalk, when he hears an engine revving, sees a set of headlights speeding towards him, and has no more than a second to try to dive out of the way," Katcher continued. "Next thing he knows he is on his back in the middle of the street with people looking down at him telling him not to move. This is the type of mayhem that happens when people drink and drive. There is no defense, no reason, and no excuse for this type of behavior."
Andruss is scheduled to be sentenced on Feb. 6, 2015. He's expected to receive a sentence of 1-5 years in prison.
This is not the only legal trouble Andruss is facing. Three days after the crash he was fired, and a week after that he was sued by his former employer, accused of making hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of improper purchases on his company credit card and withdraws from the company checking account, all while deliberately concealing evidence of his actions.
The Rosslyn intersection where cyclists and pedestrians face drivers exiting I-66 has received safety modifications in the past two weeks and more changes are on the way, county officials said on a tour of the site Tuesday morning.
In advance of a $5 million overhaul slated to be complete in summer 2016, Arlington County and the Virginia Department of Transportation changed the timing of the traffic lights and walk signals at Lee Highway and N. Lynn Street last week, said Larry Marcus, the county's head of transportation engineering.
"Pedestrians and cyclists are the priority at this location, period," Marcus said as county officials and police watched people navigate the corner some locals call the "Intersection of Doom."
One change is minor in cost but should be significant in impact: A no-turn-on-red sign is being installed at N. Lynn Street for those exiting I-66. That's being done "as soon as possible," Marcus said.
Additionally, cyclists and pedestrians crossing N. Lynn Street using the Custis Trail previously had a walk signal when all traffic lights were red — known as a "leading interval" — for just 2 seconds; the length of that signal was increased last week to 5 seconds, Marcus said. The county plans to increase the leading interval time to 15 to 20 seconds in the next six months, once new signal technology is installed.
"We're giving more time for pedestrians and bikes to go first," Marcus said, adding that new caution signs for drivers, pedestrians and cyclists will be added to the intersection.
Drivers headed west on Lee Highway, meanwhile, now have an additional 10 seconds of biker- and pedestrian-free time to clear the intersection.
To pair with engineering changes, the Arlington County Police Department has ramped up traffic enforcement and educational efforts at the corner where numerous car-on-bike accidents have occurred, Capt. James Wasem said.
"People can expect to see uniformed police officers out here flagging cars over, directing traffic, handing out some brochures and citing violations," he said about the measures enacted about two weeks ago.
Police issued 228 citations at the intersection from Sept. 15, 2013 through the same date this year: 133 for failure to obey traffic signals, 32 for improper turning and 1 for failure to yield to a pedestrian. Fifteen car crashes occurred at the intersection within that period, police said; just two crashes on record involved pedestrians.
The ACPD assigns an officer to direct traffic at the intersection on weekdays from 7:00 to 9:00 a.m. but must spread officers between that corner, schools and other frequent crash sites. The department began sending an officer to the location "as often as possible" following recommendations from a traffic analyst the county hired this year, Wasem said.
ACPD is seeking funding to assign two officers to Lee Highway and N. Lynn Street every weekday morning, plus an additional two officers at Lynn Street and Wilson Boulevard, Wasem said. The latter intersection has been facing a chronic problem of drivers "blocking the box" during rush hour since construction began on the Central Place project, blocking lanes of Lynn Street.
The additional staffing would cost $180,000 through next year.
A woman was hit by a car and injured just south of Key Bridge Friday morning as an Arlington County Police Department officer directed traffic.
The pedestrian was crossing Lee Highway at a corner locals have called the "Intersection of Doom" about 8:20 a.m. when the driver of a black SUV plowed into her, officers and a witness said. The driver was headed north on N. Lynn Street and was making a left turn onto Lee Highway when she hit a northbound pedestrian who was using the crosswalk and had the walk signal, according to officers and witness David Clark.
Clark, a 56-year-old Rosslyn resident, was doing his daily exercise routine in Arlington Gateway Park near the intersection when he heard a yell.
"I was coming up from my pushup when I saw a lady crossing the street, and then I heard her holler," he said. "The lady was in the crosswalk when she got hit."
An ACPD officer was directing traffic when the crash occurred but momentarily had his back turned to that corner, officers said. An officer is posted weekday mornings from 8:00 to 9:30 a.m. at the intersection packed with drivers, pedestrians and cyclists, an officer said.
The pedestrian was taken to a hospital and thought to have a broken ankle, according to police scanner traffic. Officers on the scene said the driver could be ticketed, pending an investigation.
In May, the Arlington County Board approved spending an additional $75,000 on safety improvements to the intersection where cyclists have been hit by drivers several times. The upgrades will extend curbs at the intersection's corners, modify traffic signals, add on-street bike lanes and remove a travel lane from Lee Highway. Construction was set to start in the spring and be complete in summer 2016.

The National Park Service is asking for public input on how to make the GW Parkway's Memorial Circle area safer.
NPS is preparing a new transportation plan and environmental assessment for the heavily-trafficked zone, Park Service Superintendent Alexcy Romero announced Thursday.
"The purpose of the [environmental assessment] is to reduce conflicts between trail, walkway and roadway users and to increase overall visitor safety around the memorial area," Romero said in a statement.
The Park Service installed temporary flashing lights last winter at a crosswalk on the northbound GW Parkway, prior to the circle, to urge drivers to slow down for pedestrians and cyclists. In summer 2012, various other safety improvements – pedestrian warning signs, rumble strips for drivers and directional pavement markings – were installed.
The changes were made in response to a series of accidents and near-misses.
Comments on new safety improvements can be submitted through September 30 on the Park Service's planning website.
The Park Service asks that commenters include their addresses, phone numbers and email addresses in their remarks, warning that "personal identifying information may be made publicly available at any time."
Additionally, park staff will set up information booths at Alexandria farmers markets and near Memorial Circle.
The public will have opportunities to review the transportation plan following its release this fall, according to NPS. The Park Service is expected to make a final decision on the plan by the summer of 2016.

A pedestrian was rushed to the hospital during rush hour Thursday morning after she was struck by a taxi close to the Rosslyn Metro station.
The woman was walking north on N. Moore Street, crossing busy 19th Street N. about 9:15 a.m. when she was hit by a D.C. cab, witnesses and the cab driver said.
The cab's passenger, on her way to work, said her ride was interrupted by a shout.
"I heard a scream and then he slammed on his brakes," the passenger said, declining to provide her name.
A witness said the pedestrian was in the crosswalk when she was hit.
"She didn't stop walking," said a consultant, 34, who had been walking to work, noting that he didn't see the color of the traffic signal.
The driver, 70-year-old Charlie Harrison, said the pedestrian crossed in front of his car as he had a green light.
"I never saw her. She walked right in front of the car," the D.C. resident said, pointing to his dangling passenger-side mirror.
Harrison, who said he's been behind the wheel professionally for 50 years, said safety is his top priority but admitted to having hit a pedestrian in D.C. "about a year ago."
"The other person I hit was a drunk," he said about the midday crash near 10th and U streets.
The pedestrian hit Thursday morning was transported to George Washington University Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, Arlington police said.
Officers at the scene declined to disclose whether Harrison would be charged for the crash, and Universal Cab refused to comment.
Elementary school students got moving and learned about pedestrian safety on the first day of school in Arlington Tuesday morning.
With a police escort, families walked from Fort Barnard Park to Drew Model Elementary School in Nauck as part of a joint pedestrian and cyclist safety initiative by Arlington Public Schools and the Arlington County Police Department.
The new program encourages families to create healthy habits and discuss how to stay safe, Arlington Superintendent Dr. Pat Murphy said.
"The message is safety for students both coming from and going to school," Murphy said before families strolled in the post-Labor Day heat.
Keeping kids safe on streets using "the 3 'E's" of engineering, education and traffic law enforcement are a top priority of the county, added Larry Marcus, Arlington's transportation, engineering and operations bureau chief.
As she walked her 3-year-old son Kanoa to his first day of Montessori school, lifelong Nauck resident Jaque Tuck, 30, said she wanted to teach her child healthy habits.
"On his very first day, we wanted to let him know everything is okay and to give him some exercise," the child protective services employee said alongside her husband, real estate agent Karl Tuck.
Julia Stewart, a substitute teacher at the school, said she opted to walk her 11-year-old son Braden and 7-year-old son Tristan to class as a way to build community.
"I wanted to meet people who live in the neighborhood and go to school with us," Stewart said. "You make it kind of a walking bus."
Arlington families were notified about a month ago if they lived in a "bus zone" or a "walk zone" — and were encouraged to walk if possible, a department spokeswoman said.
Principal Darryl Evans encouraged Drew Elementary parents to walk their kids to school and supplement the two crossing guards who have posts near the school.
"We have a lot of children who walk in our community. It's important that the adults help us out," he said about school with 671 students enrolled this fall.
In a related pedestrian and cyclist safety campaign, some ACPD patrol cars now have rear stickers — with the words "PAL (Predictable, Alert, Lawful)" — that remind drivers, pedestrians and cyclists to share the road.
The release of the decals coincides with enforcement of the state law enacted July 1 requiring that drivers pass "at a reasonable speed" at least three feet from a cyclist they pass, according to a statement issued by the county.
ACPD stepped up high-visibility safety patrols around schools today for the beginning of the school year.
(Updated at 11:05 a.m.) Arlington will be rolling out a pilot program for S. Eads Street this fall that will give residents an idea of what the future of the Pentagon City/Crystal City corridor will look like for years to come.
The county has decided that the four-lane road, which runs parallel to Jefferson Davis Highway from Army Navy Drive to Four Mile Run, is unnecessarily wide, and should be changed to a three-lane road — the center lane for left turns — with increased pedestrian and bicycle amenities.
The county's Department of Environmental Services recently released a survey asking residents which plan for S. Eads Street they prefer: a regular bike lane with a buffer and a larger parking lane, a street-level "cycle" track with a physical buffer, or a "raised cycle track" with a larger barrier less space for both parked and driving cars. The survey will be open until June 18.
"The reallocation of the available street space allows for other uses such as widened sidewalks, bicycle facilities, pedestrian median refuges, and on-street parking, all to meet the existing and future needs of S. Eads Street," the county writes at the beginning of the survey. "This pilot program will include many elements that may be included in the final design of S. Eads Street. During the pilot, various aspects of roadway operations will be monitored, including travel times and vehicle, bicycle and pedestrian traffic counts."
The pilot program this fall will reduce the traffic to three lanes and institute a "protected bike facility," as well as increased pedestrian crossings and reconfigured parking. The program will be installed between 15th Street and 23rd Street S., according to DES spokesman Eric Balliet, and most closely resemble "Option 2," which includes the street-level cycle track. Balliet said the dimensions of the program will differ from those presented as the long-term Option 2 changes.
The Crystal City Sector Plan calls for increased density along parts of S. Eads Street closer to Army Navy Drive, which is also a part of the alignment for the Crystal City streetcar. There will be a meeting for residents to discuss their thoughts and concerns over the future of S. Eads Street on Wednesday, May 21, at 7:00 p.m. at the Aurora Highlands Community Center (735 18th Street S.).
If you try driving across Key Bridge at rush hour, you're likely to encounter heavy traffic.
But drivers aren't the only one dealing with congestion on the 91-year-old span that crosses the Potomac from Rosslyn to Georgetown. The bridge's narrow pedestrian walkway is also typically jammed with walkers, runners and bikers, who sometimes come into conflict as they try to pass one another.
Pedestrians also impact traffic, as vehicles must wait for them to clear a crosswalk to take a ramp to the Whitehurst Freeway.
So what should be done to improve matters? Cross-river gondolas have been proposed, as have streetcars. But one self-described "transportation nerd," writing on the county's Mobility Lab website, has another suggestion: a dedicated pedestrian bridge.
Such a bridge could better accommodate all of those walkers, runners and bicyclists, while marginally improving vehicle traffic. Built parallel to the Key Bridge, one might expect the project to be similar in scope to the $12 million pedestrian span parallel to the Hot Metal Bridge in Pittsburgh, according to the writer, Sam Krassenstein.
Ft. Myer Drive in Rosslyn has become a hazard for pedestrians due to ongoing construction, but no solutions are on the horizon, according to county staff.
At the County Board's Tuesday afternoon meeting, Arlington Transportation Bureau Chief Wayne Wentz had no major recommendations for safety upgrades to the heavily-used roadway. The construction that has most adversely affected safety — on the 1812 N. Moore Street skyscraper – is expected to be largely finished by Oct. 31, but the safety concerns will persist.
"We're never going to be done looking at Ft. Myer Drive," Wentz said. "We've looked a lot at jaywalking. We just can't find a way to put a crosswalk in there."
Wentz said county staff is considering installing signs telling residents not to jaywalk in front of the road's tunnel — a common crossing zone for those entering and exiting from the back entrance of the Rosslyn Metro Station. The county is also in discussion to put up fencing on the sidewalk and in the two small median islands on either side of the tunnel.
"We need to be more proactive in preventing crossing there," Board Member Mary Hynes said, "given the fact that we have had near-misses and a hit there relatively recently."
The sidewalk between N. Moore Street and Ft. Myer Drive on 19th Street will remain closed after Oct. 31, Wentz said. The size of Ft. Myer Drive in that area is part of what makes it unfeasible to install a crosswalk. With more than five lanes, the likelihood of a multi-vehicle accident is much greater than on a smaller road.
"We think that there is a chance to reconfigure what Ft. Myer Drive looks like. It could be a two-way street or a narrower street someday," Wentz said. "There is hope in the future to do something different there, but we don't recommend it at this time."

When school starts on Tuesday, the Arlington County Police will again increase their presence on the roads and in school zones.
Police officers will be a high-visibility presence, directing traffic in school zones, and variable message boards will be placed along county roadways reminded drivers to take extra precaution as students start returning to area schools.
Arlington County issued the following tips for safe driving on the first day of school:
Drivers are reminded to:
- Obey speed limits which may change during school zone times.
- Avoid distracted driving and keep your attention on the road.
- Watch for students walking and riding bikes to school.
- Don't pass a stopped school bus loading or unloading passengers.
- Have all occupants wear their seatbelts.
Students, bicyclists and pedestrians are reminded to:
- Cross the street at marked crosswalks and never against a red light.
- Look before you cross and follow the direction of the school crossing guards.
- Always walk on designated sidewalks or paths never along the side of a road.
With a little prevention, all drivers, bicyclists and pedestrians can arrive at their destinations in a timely and safe manner.
Sept. 3 is also being billed by AAA Mid Atlantic as "Terrible Traffic Tuesday," the day when roads are jammed because school returns and summer vacation season ends.
According to AAA, "the average 20.4 minute daily delay that drivers experienced around [the D.C. area] in July and August will return to an average of 25.8 minutes during September."
The pedestrian bridge over Crystal Drive at 20th Street S. is set to close Monday, in advance of being removed permanently.
The bridge, which connects to the 220 Twentieth Street apartment building, is being removed to bring the prior redevelopment of the building "in line with the County Board's policy of removing above street-level pedestrian circulation in order to focus such activity on the existing exterior sidewalks, thereby creating a busier, more active, and exciting streetscape," according to the Crystal City Business Improvement District.
The major demolition work will be completed Aug. 10 and 11, according to Vornado Vice President for Development Gordon Fraley. Vornado is coordinating and funding the demolition as the owner of the 220 Twentieth Street building.
After the bridge is taken down, it will clear the way for a planned "pocket park" in the area and a new stair/escalator to the Crystal Drive shops and restaurants from the upper plaza, the BID says on its website.

Arlington County is mulling a proposal to narrow Wilson Boulevard west of George Mason Drive from four lanes to two through lanes and a center turn lane.
The proposal was conceived and endorsed by the Bluemont Civic Association (BCA) last fall, as part a recommendation to widen the sidewalks along Wilson Boulevard in the neighborhood.
The association's "Task Force on Arterial Road Sidewalks and Pedestrian Safety" came up with the plan after considering various ways to widen the narrow sidewalks to Americans With Disabilities Act standards.
Two possible options — undergrounding utilities (thus removing utility poles that partially block the sidewalk) and acquiring additional right-of-way from private property owners along Wilson Boulevard — were rejected as too expensive and otherwise infeasible.
The solution endorsed by the task force and the BCA membership instead calls for a two-phase project that, in the first phase, would halve the number of through-lanes west of George Mason Drive while adding a center turn lane and two bike lanes.
The second phase of the proposed project would widen the sidewalks to ADA standards, while relocating the utility poles.
In a PowerPoint presentation, the task force said such changes would not impede the flow of traffic but would improve safety.
"Two through lanes with a center turn lane typically provides a better line of sight and safer transitions for cars entering the traffic lanes," the presentation said. "Speeding may be reduced while maintaining the same overall travel time. Reduced crash risks for all users are expected."
The presentation compared the Bluemont stretch of Wilson Boulevard to nearby Washington Boulevard, which has only two lanes and higher peak traffic volumes.

Bulls Hope to Shock Volunteers
The Bulls seek to break Tennessee's unbeaten record against MAC teams this Saturday. Meg Kinsley /// The Spectrum
No one expects the Bulls to win this Saturday, especially the media in Tennessee.
The Bulls (1-3, 0-1 Mid-American Conference) will challenge Tennessee (2-1, 0-1 Southeastern Conference) on Saturday at 12:30 p.m.
The first two lines in Tuesday's game preview – which ran in The Daily Beacon, Tennessee's student newspaper – read as follows:
"Even for the die-hard Tennessee fans, Saturday's game versus Buffalo doesn't exactly get the blood pumping. In all likelihood, the Volunteers will overwhelm the Bulls and have the contest in hand by the middle of the third quarter."
The article also goes on to say the Bulls "have faired poorly in previous years," and "while coaches and players won't admit it, Buffalo is a tune-up game for the rest of the Vols' October schedule."
The Buffalo Bulls are not an SEC team, they don't compete with the best in the nation, and they don't regularly play in front of more than 100,000 fans.
The Tennessee Volunteers are 7-0 all-time against MAC opponents, they're led by phenomenal quarterback play, and they're searching for a return to BCS glory.
Nobody thinks the Bulls have a shot. Nobody, that is, except the Bulls.
Head coach Jeff Quinn said his players are not intimidated and they aren't changing their pre-game routine. Still, the Bulls are making some modifications in order to be prepared for the 105,000 fans that pack Neyland Stadium every week.
"We're going to pump in crowd noise; we're going to hear 'Rocky Top' a lot; we're going to cover the [practice] stadium in orange and get our kids locked in," Quinn said.
"If you let your mind drift, it'll be a distraction and it'll break your concentration, and I'm not going to allow that to happen."
One person who recognizes Buffalo's talent is Tennessee head coach Derek Dooley. He's game planning for one player in particular: sophomore linebacker Khalil Mack.
"[Mack] is as good as anybody we play," Dooley said. "The production he's had in the games, he's a train wreck on an offense. We have to make sure he doesn't disrupt the game."
Dooley's words were an enormous compliment for Mack, considering the level of competition Tennessee faces week to week. Tennessee competes with Florida, reigning national champion Auburn, and Alabama, among others in the SEC.
Sophomore running back Branden Oliver, who trained with Mack over the summer, expected Mack to succeed.
"[The attention] doesn't surprise him or me or the coaches," Oliver said. "He was born for this. I always talk to him about how everybody always talks about the bigger teams and the AP polls, and we just feel that we can play with anybody."
Mack leads a Buffalo defense that stepped up big-time last week. The Bulls limited UConn (2-2) to 80 yards rushing on 1.9 yards per rush. Previously, teams considered run defense to be Buffalo's primary weakness.
Buffalo's downfall last game was its offense. The defense gave up 17 points, but that was largely because the offense couldn't keep the 'D' off the field. Senior quarterback Chazz Anderson threw an interception in the end zone – with Buffalo down 10-3 – on Buffalo's most impressive drive.
That turnover was the game's most controversial moment. The play was flagged as pass interference on UConn, but the referees retracted the flag and said the penalty came "after the interception." The Bulls never recovered.
"It was pass interference and the penalty was a penalty," Quinn said. "I'm still not real happy about that situation, because it certainly took some time to overcome that."
The Bulls will have to continue playing strong defense if they plan on stopping a potent Tennessee offense.
The Vols will be without star wide receiver Justin Hunter for the first time this season, but standout quarterback Tyler Bray still presents a major threat. Bray has thrown for 986 yards, 10 touchdowns and two interceptions so far this year. At 6-foot-6, Bray is able to see over defenses and find open targets.
Tight end Mychal Rivera is one of Bray's favorite receivers. Rivera hauled in five passes for 71 yards and a touchdown in Tennessee's last game, a 33-23 loss at Florida (4-0, 2-0 SEC). The Bulls will look to slow Rivera with the size and speed of junior linebacker Jaleel Verser.
The Bulls have been strong in pass defense so far this year, and they'll need to put the clamps on a pass-first Tennessee offense if the Bulls plan on pulling off the upset. The Bulls are four-touchdown underdogs.
"I don't put any team on a pedestal," Oliver said.
On Saturday, Oliver and his teammates seek to prove to themselves, the Volunteers, Las Vegas odds makers, and the Tennessee media that the Bulls are in fact better than they're given credit for.

Added Dec 1, 2012
by jeffrey
Colts Neck, New ...
This is the first project I completed using a real-life pattern! (Since my mini-duffle bags way-back-when).
Jamie and I used the blouse pattern from the BurdaStyle Sewing Handbook! We made the variation contributed by Very_Purple_Person.
We used a cotton fabric, which Jamie picked out at Mood Fabrics in New York city.
I started the project during Super Storm Sandy; we lost power for a week so I had plenty of time to measure and cut the pattern and the fabric, but I had to wait to iron and sew. My friend Sam would have been in better shape; he does all his sewing on electric-free equipment, including a serger he retro-fitted into an old singer treadle cabinet.

Letter: Most voters regret Obama support?
Pat Butcher, Naples
Prove it
Regarding Rocco Fiordelsi's letter "The Champion of Minor Issues:"
One of the big problems with things one reads on the Internet and editorial pages is the lack of verification of statements made.
As an example, consider Dr. Fiordelsi's statement that "71 percent of voters who voted for President Barack Obama in 2012 regret their vote."
Please, where did you find that statistic? I read The New York Times regularly and have never come across that "fact."
With such a great discontent with Obama's performance, one would think that the entire nation was flocking to the Republican Party, which is definitely not the case.

Re: Financial Follies that Break the Relationsh
beamMEup wrote:
OP - I'll throw out a different perspective.
I don't see not wanting to use a credit card as a terribly destructive behavior - the fact that she is willfully avoiding going into debt is a plus.
Some folks like and do well with credit products; and others avoid them.
I would be much more worried if someone didn't care about the debt they were racking up; or were focused on the "prestige" which they perceived came with their new AmEx card.
IME, I think you've got a winner on your hands.
And when it comes to relationships, you can always be the one to manage and use revolving accounts.
I didn't use CC's for a long time and DH says I was a pretty good catch. At this point, in our house, I manage a good deal of the finances (and they're in pretty darn good shape). DH uses revolvers but it's only for predetermined and prebudgeted items. So we get the rewards, but I basically manage the cards.
And to answer your question, for me it would be high debt-load and blatant consumerism (whether they could afford it or not - it's just a major turnoff to me).
Thanks for the different perspective. I can understand your point of view, but the other thing that concerns me about her is that she is carrying a $500 balance on another CC at 24% interest and yet she has about $600 in the bank to pay this off (she still lives at home and has no expenses so this wouldn't be a problem for her). When I asked her why she doesn't use that money to pay off the card, her rationale is that she is going to be making more purchases in a month for school when college starts up again so she sees no point in paying off her current balance. It is this behavior combined with her debit card use that makes me uneasy.
