Bay's Bat Comes Alive in Win
His Two Home Runs Power Mets Past the Struggling Yankees
Over 92 at-bats, 24 games and 3½ weeks, Jason Bay had fielded question after question about the mystery of his missing home-run swing. Maybe it was the deep fences at Citi Field. Maybe, after six years in Pittsburgh and then a season-and-a-half with the Red Sox, he needed to re-adjust to National League pitching. Maybe, when it came to being a $66 million free-agent power hitter, Mr. Bay was a bust.
Mets 6 Yankees 4
He had hit one home run all season, had gone what seemed an eternity without one. Yet there he was Sunday night, stroking two home runs off CC Sabathia and driving the Mets to a 6-4 victory over the Yankees, helping the Mets win twice in the weekend's three-game "Subway Series" and restore some equilibrium to what has been a wild month.
Amid the backdrop of a tumultuous week that included a swirl of rumors about the job status of manager Jerry Manuel, an impromptu visit from Chief Operating Officer Jeff Wilpon, and the strange sight of pitcher John Maine's departure from a game after five pitches, the Mets are now 22-23 and have won three of their past four games. Sunday's game, fittingly enough, ended in a manner to match the edgy tone of the week: The Yankees scored three runs in the top of the ninth inning before Mets closer Francisco Rodriguez struck out Alex Rodriguez, who represented the go-ahead run.
Funny thing, though: The Mets are actually closer to first place in their division than the Yankees (26-18) are in theirs, and they have a ripe opportunity to make up more ground. The Philadelphia Phillies, five games ahead of the Mets in the National League East, begin a three-game series at Citi Field on Tuesday. (The Yankees are six games behind Tampa Bay in the AL East, though they do lead the AL wild-card standings.)
If nothing else, the Mets will enter that troika of games against the two-time defending NL champs with a measure of confidence they haven't had since their 9-1 homestand last month, mostly because their best players are finally beginning to hit well. Jose Reyes, whose average had fallen to .210 a few days ago, had four hits over the Mets' two victories Saturday and Sunday. David Wright cracked two RBI singles Saturday and an RBI double Sunday. And Mr. Bay had the finest weekend of his brief Mets career: doubling and scoring a run Friday, going 4-for-4 on Saturday, and socking those two home runs off Mr. Sabathia on Sunday.
For all the speculation about Mr. Manuel's job security, this was always the bigger problem for the Mets: The men who were supposed to form the fulcrum of their lineup were underachieving, and short of grabbing a bat and taking a couple of cuts himself, there wasn't much Mr. Manuel could do about it.
"We just have to be better," Mr. Bay said before the game. "It starts with me. It starts with a lot of guys in our lineup. But you can say what you want; we have better hitters than what we're showing."
The Mets' burst of offense backed another fine performance from starter Johan Santana (4-2), who recorded two outs in the eighth inning Sunday before Mr. Manuel removed him from the game. Mr. Santana needed just 82 pitches to get through the first seven innings and has allowed just three earned runs over his past 21 2/3 innings.
Mr. Sabathia (4-3) wasn't so steady Sunday. He dodged trouble in the first, striking out Mr. Wright and getting Angel Pagan to pop up with the bases loaded. But Mets second baseman Alex Cora—a last-moment addition to the starting lineup because of Luis Castillo's bruised foot—lined a two-out, two-run single in the second. On a 2-1 count, Mr. Bay then launched an 86-mph changeup over the left-field wall for a 4-0 Mets lead.
So ended Mr. Bay's long home-run drought. His next drought lasted exactly one pitch. This time, he led off the bottom of the fifth by hammering a 92-mph sinker from Mr. Sabathia 405 feet to right-center field, giving the Mets both a 5-0 lead and some hope that their offense's catalysts might have come around at last.
"At some point, you have to look at yourself," said Mr. Bay, now hitting .307. "And I think we have."

With a lot of joy I created this website to share with you the many benefits
of yoga, the healing touch and sacred sound. I embraced these arts with
all my heart as it brings me blessings and transformation. Here you can read
my story, the places I have been around the world and how this experiences
opened a space within myself for change. The school of life…. I want to
inspire you to find the power withing and make the changes you need
to live a happier and more fulfilling life.
During a yoga class, a massage session or when I sing and play a mantra, I also grow and heal with you. It is a beautiful process to find the way back inside your heart , the divine in you. The peace and wellbeing you are looking for is already there underneath the illusions of the mind, the believe that we are all separated and alone . The body speak with us in many ways to get our attention to how we are living our lives, how is our inner dialogue in daily life, our concepts about ourselves and the world. Our work is to silence, to listen what is right for us and constantly let go, open space, for new ways of being and reconnect with the intelligence within. There is no strict formula, each human being is an universe, has an unique body, and purpose. The most important thing is to be fully aware on each step as we walk on this path of self study and self healing.

CON-TEMPORARY - Art Observatorium
is a nomadic gallery selecting artists and artworks to be presented in various contexts suitable for predetermined thematics curated by Jizaino, and contextualised in the international artistic panorama.
Like a fellowship, it is finalized to the sharing of the experiences and to the collaboration. We are living epochs of heavy social contrasts, where speculative relativism has crushed ideals and philosophic sentiments favouring an unconditional search for success. Thus it is necessary an intellectual reflection in order to search for an inner determination and a sincere movement from the heart. The cooperation is finalized to the mutual help between people capable and willing to create artworks and events reflecting these intents too.
"CON-TEMPORARY - Art Observatorium"
is a temporary and nomadic observatory articulated in a series of exhibitions dedicated to artists which artworks can be contextualized in the actual international artistic panorama, either contemporary and modern.
The selected artworks are making those reference elements with which a knowledge course can be realized, proposing a concise yet composite visual on the modern expressions of contemporary Art. Through the personal visions of the invited artists, either relative to the territorial context and internationally, the sight is turned toward the actual global artistic environment.
As in a Big Bang, contemporary Art started from the explosion of styles and art movements happened in the modern epoch, which fragmented the almost monolithic expression method of the ancient times. Surely, this dispersive process have not exhausted its energy; in fact we are witness also of the slow dispersion of big movements and art fluxes that characterized the history of modern Art. Today the artistic panorama offers such a diversification that the need to discern and to define typical collective features have not much meaning any more: the artists feel less the need to band together under cultural movements. We indeed assist to the birth of new forms of Art, generated by the chasing proliferation of new technologies that become accessible to more and more people; that is also contributing to this big diversification of the expression.
In the contemporary world, and the artistic one
in primis
, we can notice two noteworthy characteristics: the progressive reduction of intercultural distances, and the strong charge of the transiency, of the instability. In good or evil, they are both complementary expressions of this epoch.
Today the cultural distances are shortening thanks to the possibilities offered by the new communication media, which promote a relation from the base, individual, of the masses.
If the cultural interference can contribute further to the local expressive diversification, in the other hand it determines some kind of standardization at the global level; for this reason, the aim of this exhibition series is to explore a panorama with a heterogeneous expression form, yet coherent with the global culture.
The transiency, the temporariness, it is perhaps one of the primary issues of the globalization, which tends to stress the social tissue with big tensions. The events seem to whirl in a vortex of indetermination and confusion, while people feel more intensely the subjection to the classical locutions of caducity:
panta rei
tempus fugit
memento mori
. If by one side these cognitions spur to the action, by the other side generate an agitation and an exhaustion that annihilate any effort. So, for these exhibitions artworks are selected for their representation of our times, yet also for their capacity to give an intellectual breath and relief for the soul.

Hydration for plain wholemeal
Been making some highly hydrated 100% wholewheat sandwich bread (enriched) egg, oil, ,milk etc.. This seems to give me a lighter crumb and feel
I use local wholemeal so its not strong by any means, trying to push to its limit at the moment it registers 77% hydration and is OK for the most part with few rips when shaping. You know those dreaded holes you get when your dough gets a bit weaker for it.
Anyway seems to be alright with enrichements, when I make it basic with flour, yeast, salt and water at same hydration the dough just gives up on me. Does it mean when there are no enrichments I have to go down to say 68 - 70% hydration?
I did try mixing half/half with bobs hard red wheat and the results have been fantastic (80% hydration) with a smooth dough all round,cant tell you how happy this made me feel
Also, regarding yeast (starter) can I use very little 5- 10% flour weight in 100% wholemeal loaves or do I have to add more?

* FTSE down 0.01 percent
* Three-week rally put market near all-time highs
* Pearson issues profit warning
* Old Mutual the latest upbeat earnings report
By Joshua Franklin
LONDON, Feb 28 Britain's top share index held steady on Friday but still posted its best month in seven, thanks to a three-week rally that raised it within touching distance of its all-time high.
Shares have recovered strongly after hitting a 2014 low in early February. While that rally has stalled this week as political turmoil in Ukraine and fresh concerns about China's economy have revived concerns about emerging markets, the FTSE 100 finished the month just 2 percent below its record peak, set in 1999.
The 4.6 percent gain posted this month made it the best February in 15 years.
"It's been a global rebound from deeply oversold levels," said Gerard Lane, equity strategist at Shore Capital, who cautioned the rally could soon run out of momentum. "I think the market will go up but I think it's getting to a valuation which is aggressive."
Also supporting the recent upturn has been a decent earnings season. Some 69 percent of companies that have reported quarterly earnings so far have beaten or met expectations.
On the day, the FTSE 100 closed down 0.57 points, or 0.01 percent, at 6,809.70.
Leading the market lower was British publisher Pearson , which fell 5.9 percent after warning it expected earnings to drop in 2014. The group reported results within the range of already lowered forecasts caused by a deteriorating U.S. education market. It was one of the day's most heavily traded stocks, with volumes more than four times its 90-day average.
"They're pretty awful figures. They're trying to rebuild around this U.S. education division, which has caused a real weakness here," ETX Capital head of trading Joe Rundle said.
"I wouldn't want to be long. They're betting on a losing horse. They don't have the scale to compete in this industry."
Shares in power provider Aggreko fell 4.3 percent on news that its chief executive of 11 years was leaving to join the British outsourcer Serco.
The bookmaker William Hill led the gainers, up 6.1 percent after it said it would cut costs by up to 20 million pounds ($33 million) in 2015.
South African paper maker Mondi was another strong performer on the day, its shares rising by 5.9 percent. The group posted higher 2013 full-year earnings, helped by benefits from acquisitions in its packaging business.

I diconnected the AC'97 front panel header from the mobo and connected it to the sound card. The front panel audio works, i.e. after connecting it to the new sound card, the mic and headphones I connected to it work fine.
I have absolutely no problems (hardware or software), driver issues, or even boot errors, and everything is perfectly fine. I just get a "Press F1 to boot" prompt that always says "Front panel audio not connected". How do I get rid of this annoying message (and prompt)?
I have an HP Compaq DC7100 CMT and an Asus Xonar DG sound card. I have the latest BIOS version (2.14A) but don't know how to "fix" this. Anyway, here's technical info

- [Voiceover] Hello, I'm Adam Wilbert and I would like to welcome you to Access 2010: Forms and Reports in Depth. In this course, we're going to explore the inner-workings of two highly configurable objects inside an Access database. With forms, I'll show you how to create easy to use data entry points that interface with your data tables. We'll work with controls and layouts in design views, as well as explore Access's extensive property sheets, where we can fine tune their behavior, appearance and interactivity. Reports use many of the same tools and techniques as forms and they're great for preparing data for the printed page.
With reports, we'll look at grouping data into categories while leveraging header and footer sections to organise your report structure and make them easier to read. We'll build reports from scratch, that are tied to query record sources for increased flexibility and we'll hook them all back into a form based navigation system, to help end users' move around your database and accomplish tasks, without having to know anything about its inner structure. So thank you for joining me; now, let's dig into Access 2010: Forms and Reports in Depth.

I'm trying to create a multisite install for a client who already has a legacy site on their main domain.
They don't want to take that site down until the new site is ready, so what I had planned was to stage the new multilingual site in a different web root with domains set up like so:
And when it was all ready to go we'd just point the http://www.domain.com at en.domain.com. It seemed like a sensible approach to me.
However, now that I'm setting it up I've discovered that WordPress wants to use the
en.domain.com as the base domain for the other sites in the network, so I'd end up with
jp.en.domain.com instead of
This is my first attempt at a multisite install, so I didn't see this coming at all. Can anyone think of a way around this problem?

But, but ... there are sometimes ugly poor people on buses! And I might have to walk a few blocks! And I can't wow everyone with how cool my vehicle is!
I caught a ride from someone a few weeks ago coming from Bellevue to Seattle. While we were waiting in traffic I saw 3 busses that would have taken me right to my transfer spot downtown to get to Cap Hill. I would have probably been home 15-20 mins if I had taken the bus. I now know better.
While you're working so hard to get people out of their cars, do you do the same for delivery of the Stranger? Practice what you preach, dearie!
Here's the real enigma:
I live in the city because I can't afford to move. My office moved from downtown to south Snohomish County because it couldn't afford the escalating city rents.
Thus, I'm a commuter. And I contribute to the 405 sludge.
If you could find me a bus to take me to work in less than 2 hours, lord knows I would.
Be careful Erica. Powerful interests want lots more rail transit. Apostate voices are not looked upon kindly.
You should not write that traffic is not that bad. And do not write about how measures such as variable-price tolling and significantly higher gas taxes would reduce congestion significantly.
I take the bus from Capitol Hill to Redmond every day and it's quite a bit faster taking the bus than driving alone (due to the carpool lanes). Still, none of my coworkers who live in Seattle take the bus even though we get a free bus pass. It's ridiculous.
Just Asking: There's no difference between the transport of freight and commuting, thanks for contributing the very valid point, dearie.

Miss Erica,
Not everyone works on Capitol Hill or downtown. If I could find a bus that would take me to Redmond in less time than an hour then I would do so. I used Mass Transit when I worked in Seattle, I don't now. A typical morning commute for me via bus would be 1 1/2 hrs, which is ridiculous considering how many transfers I need to take to catch the express bus. Even more so considering I live on Queen Anne.
Oh yeah your facts on the commute are wrong. It takes 20 - 30 minutes to get from Seattle to Bellevue and vice versa, on a good day. The average is 45 minutes to an hour during rush hour. Tack on an extra 30 minutes when the Mariners play.......
@3 - so your point is that anyone who advocates for intelligent transportation policies must be sure that their work and lifestyle have no connection to people or goods being transported on roads? that's reasonable.
Agree with @9 and more. I don't know where they get these numbers, but eastside to seattle at rush hour is easily an hour (my record is 3 hours during the windstorm that shut down the floating bridge). I carpool with a friend, but 520 HOV is 3 people or more. I know I should bus it, but it's hard to do 2 transfers when your already running late every morning.
I was wondering if the day I sat in traffic was a fluke by the numbers Erica gave. I don't have much experiencing with commuting as I live and work in Seattle. It took us about 45-50 mins to get over the bridge.
For the umpteenth time, Erica, the usage of cars as a primary mode of transport is a cultural phenomenon that spans the globe. To believe this is a local problem and thus can be solved locally with your beloved bitterness-motivated vehicle-disincentive ideas is illogical and myopic at best.
I'm not a daily commuter, but sometimes I have to drive from Edmonds to Renton. I find that traffic is very popular. Many people freely choose to participate in it every day - more all the time, it seems. Who are we to take it away from them?
erica, i think you have brought a lot of great to the stranger and i am a fan of much of your writing.
that said, i think you should seriously pipe down about transportation and, in particular, cars. your anti-car bias is obvious, your disdain for anyone living in an area that requires driving is pronounced, and, frankly, you don't know what the hell you're talking about when it comes to commuting.
if you want something local to scratch your head at, try to figure out why King County is in the process of buying the railroad that runs from Renton to Woodinville to turn it into a bike trail while bitching that it is too expensive to buy all the land necessary for a commuter train...it makes no sense!
Erica's right: People are willing to have 45-minute one-way communtes. When the become 90 minutes, people will scream for alternatives.
45 minutes each way should be enough to get people out of their cars, but they're not.
As for your "spans the globe" comment, Gomez. Yes, people use cars around the globe, but not everyone prioritizes them. In Bogata, most people are too poor for cars, so they built a 40-mile ped/bike path instead of a fancy freeway. In Copenhagan, they used to have over 90% car commuters. After 30 years of careful planning, 40% ride their bikes to work.
As the kick-ass Bogata Mayor Enrique Penalosa says: Do we dare create a transport system giving priority to the needs of the poor? Or are we really trying to solve the traffic jams of the upper income people? That is really the true issue that exist
I liked Erica's contribution. But what really kills me is not so much the volume of traffic as two items that piss me off. First the number of SUV's in Seattle!! MY GOD PEOPLE!! Our winters here are mild and the times we do get snow, no one goes to work anyway. Why in the HELL do people all need an SUV??.... Wait, all the small .... endowments shall we say.
Second issue is that people not only will take the bus because of the ugly people but no one will even car pool. Just take a look at the number of driver only vehicles on the road.
Just keep that in mind as we get ready for another hot hot hot summer.
Good point, ddv @ 16. The Dinner Train's route runs north right along the most horrible stretch of 405.
Pipe up, Erica. Sustainable living/commuting is not a wacko idea, it's a necessary condition for the continued existence of humankind.
Why does every local transit discussion involve connecting areas that have nothing to do with actual, real world commuting? Nearly all the local jobs are on the Eastside, and all the commuting is happening along the 405 corridor. Why are express lanes always open in the wrong direction on the bridges, as if anyone on the face of the Earth needed to return to the Eastside from Seattle at night?
I'd love to take a bus to work from Juanita to South Bellevue -- too bad the schedule changes right at the time I need to commute, because Metro or Sound Transit or whatever the Christ they call themselves this week decide that no one needs to go to work just after making sure their kids are off to school (school scheduling is another problem as far as commuting via buses goes -- try planning around the several weeks off that Lake Washington schools just had due to storms, or their "early releases" every Wednesday).
I hate owning a car. I hate driving. And yet there I am every morning and every night in half an hour of rush hour traffic on 405, all by myself, because there's no other option.
ddv @16:
Where did anyone say they didn't have the land for Eastside rail? The problem is they don't have the money. Hence Sound Transit II, coming to a ballot near you in November.
Supposedly, the rails on the line King County is trying to buy are pretty much useless (read: old and crappy) for commuter rail. That's why the Dinner Train crawls for most of its ride. The idea is to make it a bike trail for now, and then add commuter rail when they actually have the money. Or so I've heard.
The cause of traffic problems is sprawl. Traffic behaves like a network and every time you add a strand to the web, EVEN IF THE STRAND DOESN'T GO THROUGH THE CENTER, you increase congestion everywhere throughout the network, as traffic shifts across the system to find capacity.
Adding commutes in remote places like Woodinville increases congestion everywhere else. The huge percentage of rim-to-rim commutes (probably greater overall than center-rim-center ones) impacts traffic in the center. Rim-to-rim commutes aren't covered by transit systems, either. This is Los Angeles, and the Long Island Expressway, and a thousand other examples, all over again.
On a local level, congestion occurs in choke points. Once a month, I have to commute by car from Wallingford to Kirkland. By bus this particular route would be almost three hours even if the bus was the only vehicle on the road, due to bad transfers and a long walk at the far end. But since I do this in the evening, the 520 bridge eastbound is a piece of cake; I'm going sixty the whole length. The cars aren't moving at all the other (reverse) way, though. And I frequently come to a dead stop on the very short I-5 portion, which ALWAYS clogs right before the ship canal bridge. On the other end, if I try to make the connection to 405 North, I can expect a delay of more than 45 minutes from the time I hit the ramp to the time I'm actually on 405, a distance of perhaps 500 yards.
The micro secret is to avoid the chokepoints, and get onto city streets, presuming that you know which ones are OK and which ones are not (140th Ave NE yes, 132nd Ave NE never). The macro secret is to stop sprawl. Unfortunately no one knows how to do that; it's certainly not been successful here. The second alternative is a transit system, but the problem in Seattle is, YOU HAVE TO HAVE A TRANSIT SYSTEM.
You will be shocked to hear that I didn't have a driver's license until after I turned 40, and was once again living in Seattle, after many years elsewhere where a carless life was possible. The truth is, if you have a job, you need a car. This will never change; it just won't.
I had the same reaction reading the numbers - wow, that's not too bad. But they're pretty misleading. They're average numbers for the whole region. For the people working on the Eastside (say, at a computer company in Redmond) coming home to Seattle, you're talking 45 min on average. Throw in a Sonics game and it can go over an hour pretty easily. I did it from 1996-2000 and literally quit because of it.
I don't say this to support building more roads. I'm a surface/transit replacement for the viaduct guy and want light rail everywhere. Just don't want non-drivers to get the idea that people are really whining about 25 min commutes.
As long as one only has time to him or herself in his or her car (because of kids, spouse, work, etc.), people are always going to drive alone to work. People enjoy driving alone in the car. It's an escape for him or her, believe it or not -- even with all the near rear-ends and collisions.
The trick is to get people to not drive alone to work five days a week. If every single car commuter gives up one day a week to take the bus instead, then perhaps this could improves things a bit. Maybe that person will start to see the difference/improvement, if there is one.
Gregg @ 22.
So the county has money to buy the land that already has rails on it, but they don't have money to buy line to create a rail line? it just doesn't make sense. even if the rails themselves are old and crappy, it would still be easier/cheaper to retro fit the existing rail line to accomdate a commuter line than to try to build an entirely new line somewhere else. The work is already done, except for stops/stations.
No. 9: They aren't "my" facts. They're the state DOT's facts, as reported by the Seattle Times.
"And I frequently come to a dead stop on the very short I-5 portion, which ALWAYS clogs right before the ship canal bridge."
Hey Fnarf, the reason I-5 is slow there is because of assholes like you getting on at 45th and then merging across 4 lanes on a stretch with limited visibility.
Great News, ECB! I too was wondering what everyone was whining about. I think I deserve one more car, and I hope it will be this:
Nothing better than a small block 'Merican V8 with radical cam and
free flowing exhaust rattling the walls and windows of downtown condos on an early Sunday morning. My God, how I do hate setbacks and how they can defile that glorious, thundering tattoo so early on a crisp and clear morning.
regarding the eastside rail line....
The line is owned by the BNSF. I-90 is being widened, and they don't want to pay for a new bridge over 90, so they are foisting it off on the county, with the understanding that no competitor will be able to use it. The county doesn't want to build a new bridge either, so it's getting severed, and turned into a touchy-feely bike trail. Once that happens, it will NEVER EVER be a railline again, due to NIMBY pressures.
This, despite the very real danger of the downtown train tunnel (the only north-south link other then the eastide rail line) becoming incapcitated by earthquake, derailment or other disaster.
No one remembers this, because it happened right around the time of 9/11, but a train derailed in the tunnel under Baltimore, which started a fire and really fucked up downtown Baltimore AND snarled rail traffic for weeks - and they had redundancy. The same could happen here, but the BNSF is too cheap and too short-sighted to think about that right now, and Sim's office has its head in the sand about it.
It's a pet peeve of mine, particularly when people reduce it down to the dinner train. The stakes are much higher than that.
Doink, until you buy my jetpack, I don't really see how I can get across those lanes any other way. Don't blame me, blame the highway engineer; it's a stupid design.
Mind you, I'm not whining, because I think bad traffic on the freeway is great. I put on about 15 highway miles a month on average.

Quite so, Fnarf, however I do love faces of other drivers when attempting
a focused four lane drift from the 45th St. onramp to the 520 exit. Sometimes it is better than sex. God Bless the engineers!
Somewhat off topic, but related to the issue of reducing carbon dioxide emissions: a London neighborhood is about to triple the parking rates for gas-guzzling cars.
@16: Thank God you said it. I thought I was the only one losing my mind over that proposal. One set of tracks is already laid and all of the necessary easements and ownership issues are already resolved.
Not everyone can live next to the place they work. It just isn't possible or practical. Ergo, people must commute. That's the way it is and will be. Let's make sure we have the infrastructure to handle it.
Jensen, if you get a Sunbeam Tiger, you will forever be secure as The Coolest Slogger. There's a a Tiger group in Seattle, you know; they get together and drive places. Rootes's finest effort (though I prefer the Hillman Imp myself).
Gomez sez (block caps mine) 'For the umpteenth time, Erica, the usage of cars as a PRIMARY mode of transport is a cultural phenomenon that spans the globe.' Classic American chauvinism. Actually almost nowhere else - (Dubai would be an exception I can think of, there are probably a few others, major Chinese cities are leaning in this direction, something that is really scary) - are cars the PRIMARY mode of transport. Why is this blogger taken seriously by the editors?

Thank you Farnf. There is one sitting in a corner of Crown Hill. It been outside for many years and needs major resto. Even if I can convince the owners to sell it to me, it will definitely tax my pedestrian mechanical abilities and take several years to bring back to life. I am familiar with
some of the local Rootes club folks.
They are outstanding group of peoplewho
have donated a great deal back to the community.
I can appreciate your interest in the Imp. I love it's engine, the Coventry Climax which was used in Lotus and TVR's is a robust, economical and
well engineered machine!
Dogpile Gomez! yep, it's true dude, only in America do cities rely solely on highways to provide transportation. Go live in an international major city for awhile, you'll see that they've built light rail or busways as the means to move people.
Fnarf @23 "The cause of traffic problems is sprawl." Nope. The cause of traffic problems is sprawl plus no mass transit. Paris (2m) has a suburb of 10 million people, but lo! they can get around on the trains... into centre city, and back out. On time.
Proper design is a huge answer. Too bad American city builders didn't have the foresight to include rail. Now we're fucked until we can get rail running. Oops!
ddv @26:
Who said to build a new rail line somewhere else? You rip out the rails, because they're crap. You work for the money and political will to put in rails that are actually useful, plus the money to do all the other stuff you need to do to get a commuter rail line up and running. In the meantime, you pave the right of way for a bike trail, since that's apparently cheap as these things go. When you get the money and the go ahead, then you build the line on top of/adjacent to the bike trail.
You might think you could retrofit the rails. Heck, I thought they'd be able to retrofit the train tracks in the bus tunnel (remember those?). Apparently they can't. I'm no transportation engineer; all I can do is trust the actual engineers, who say the current rail lines aren't worth salvaging.
1.) The rails in the bus tunnel weren't the issue: the ADA was. They had to lower the roadbed in the tunnel to have platform access for disabled people (which, for the record, is fine with me.)
2.) It's a little naive to think that once a railbed has gone to a trail, it can ever go back to being a railbed. For example, try suggesting that the Burke-Gilman trail, or the old Milwaukee Road line to Maple Valley become a communter rail line, and see how far you will get.
Grant: I thought you fucked off to Mexico or Portland or some place that supposedly welcomed you with open arms. Yet you keep on coming back, talking shit and taking shots at people. You've become a troll, Grant. Why?
Countries where much of the population gets around by Auto: pretty much all of them. Yes, people have cars in France, in Sweden, in Bulgaria, in Syria, in China, in Peru... because they don't have whatever it is you imply they all have. Grant Cogswell makes a completely inaccurate statement and follows it up with an insult, film at 11. No wonder you left: even the nutbars of this city couldn't buy your bullshit anymore.
It's kinda funny when someone pays a visit to a few major, centuries-old cities as a tourist, sees a transit system and densely packed neighborhoods in each, and assumes that every country operates this way.
Why is the auto industry able to do business on seven continents? Maybe because the vast majority of the world's population still needs vehicles to get around on a basic level. I'd like to see you go from one end of Kenya to the other on foot, or Egypt, or Ecuador, or El Salvador, or the Phillipines.
Fnarf: The truth is, if you have a job, you need a car. This will never change; it just won't.
Um, I have had a job (decent ones!) throughout my 2 years in Seattle and have never owned a car while living here. You should qualify this statement.
I know! Let's spend THREE TIMES as much as we thought was too much for a monorail to move HALF as many people with an underwater tunnel!
Then the extra pollution and gridlock will make it even MORE polluted!
Gomez, yes, you will always need vehicles (duh, why do you think the alternative to driving is WALKING?), and everyplace has them. But hardly anywhere is the private car given so many resources and absolute dominance. I didn't just visit a few foreign capitols, I grew up living in most of the big cities of the West Coast and Western Europe (and no, if you want to take an 'elitist' shot, not because my family was wealthy, which they were not, but because my dad was a tech rep and correctly regarded this country as something of a madhouse). And I am not 'back'. I'm on the internet, it works everywhere. Challenging the rigor of your thinking is not a cheap shot, it is debate. The editors of this blog seem to respect your opinions, and I just can't figure out why. And why do I keep (trolling) writing? Because I'm Irish and Jew (-ISH), which means I just...can't...shut...up.....
Erica--The very fact that you point to Houston as so much worse shows one thing: people do not abandon their car loving ways, no matter how bad it gets.
Get that into your head, and engage in creative thinking on transit that doesn't involve making Seattle a Hell on Earth, willya?

@42 Gomez -- G to the C: you're the guy that made a stink about crappy ole, disappointing Seattle, stomping out the door on your way to Margaritaville. What do you care?
I may not like my hour long commute from Everett to Bellevue everyday, but it's better than two hours on a bus! I'll keep my car, thanks.
Until very recently, I had a co-worker to carpool with. That made things a little better. Unfortunately, she was laid off two weeks ago. And because I work for a small company, I don't have any other options for carpooling (they all live in different areas/directions from me).
I used to bus from Federal Way to downtown Seattle. It was the crappy route that stopped at the airport. I put up with that for three and a half years. I've done my bus time.
I'd love to see you downtown dwellers move outside of the city limits and try the commute for more than just once a week. Then tell me how great it is to get on a bus at 5 in the morning just so you can make it to work by 9! Get over yourself!
Not everyone has the luxury of living close to where they work. If I wanted to give up having a yard for my dog to roam (instead of cramming her into an apartment), then maybe I'd move downtown. I would love to be able to walk everywhere. But the reality is, the homes are cheaper here than in Bellevue. But the money in Bellevue is better than Everett. So I will continue to drive my car and deal with the hassles of traffic. I'd like to be home in time to have a life instead of being on a bus for an extra 2 hours a day!
I think the posts here show that Erica's missing the point: it's not car addiction, it's 'What honestly is the alternative?' And the response in most cases is dead silence.
The problem is too big to ask cities to build $20 billion rail systems.
Catalina @41
Yes, I knew about the bus tunnel rail. I was responding to ddv's naive assumption that you can just pop Sounder Trains onto the old rail lines with just a little bit of sprucing up.
As for whether the Eastside BNSF line will just be a trail, I can only trust what Ron Sims says, and he says he's waiting for the PSRC to make recommendations. Sims has been pretty good about fighting NIMBYism in the past (East Lake Sammamish Trail, Brightwater, and [so I predict] Lake Forest Park and the BGT), so I think if the PSRC moves on this, we can get both the trail and the rail. If, however, it languishes for a number of years, I would agree with you that it's unlikely it'd go back to rails.
If you're looking for past rail lines/present bike lines that should become rail lines again, I'd vote for the Interurban to the north. We could really use a commuter rail line to Everett that doesn't rely on the skinny, mudslide-prone coastal route. But if you've tried to ride the Interurban Trail, you'd know the right-of-way got broken up into lots of pieces, and would be extremely difficult to reconstitute. In Lynnwood, for example, it seems like it's 3 blocks of trail followed by 3 blocks of detour, ad nauseum.
Greg, you have a lot more confidene in Sims than I do.
To me, the telling sign that the eastside line will never, ever be a rail line again is that they are not replacing the bridge over I-90 when the do the widening. It will then be easy to say there's no money for the project, and dismiss the rail line.
The eastside rail link should be preserved as a heavy rail line. Run commuter trains and keep it as a back up for freights who use the downtown rail tunnel, which celebrated it's centenial last year.
Perhaps even the second Amtrak Cascades to Vancouver (which will continue through to Portland, and is due to start sometime before the Olympics) could run up that line. Give the eastside some LD rail.
"I commute 90 miles every day. It is my god given right to use roads free of traffic and to send as much pollution into the atmosphere as I please. Where do you whiny liberals get off trying to make me pay to use roads? I already pay my gas taxes for christsakes! Maybe if you ever left Capitol Hill and had a real job you'd understand the plight of the working man."
Fnarf, the obvious answer is we need to stop creating rim housing and rim jobs :)

Italy's biggest oil and gas firm Eni would raise investment in Indonesia to make the country its major presence in the world, a top official of the firm said here on Friday. Eni's CEO Paulo Sacroni told a joint press conference with Indonesian Energy and Mineral Resources Minister Jero Wacik after meeting. Eni has invested about 400 million U.S. dollars in Indonesia since 2001 and has developed 13 blocks nationwide, said Scaroni.
"...and we plan to continue to invest because we have very promising blocks in front of us," said Sacroni. "We want to make Indonesia one of our major presence in the world," he said. The firm has expertise on exploring oil and gas in deep water, according to Wacik, which is badly needed in the vast archipelago country.
"Eni wants to add investment in Indonesia as it is confident of the situation in Indonesia," said Wacik. Indonesia has got credit rating upgrade to investment grade recently by Moody's and Fitch's. The country is struggling to boost dwindling oil output due to decline in reserve and investment that forced the country out of OPEC membership in 2008.

SDCC: Marvel: Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends Panel
Comic Books
While responding to a question about Marvel's recent cancellation of Captain Britain and MI13, Executive Editor Tom Brevoort ended up sparking some concerns about the fates of two other titles.
When asked Friday on his blog why the company couldn't continue publishing a low-selling yet high-quality comic like Captain Britain, Brevoort responded, in part: "… Any one book being unprofitable isn't enough to break Marvel, but the question is, where do you draw the line? If we keep Captain Britain going, then shouldn't we also keep Runaways going? Or Iron Fist? Or Spider-Girl? Or any of a number of other titles that have hit this level despite a dedicated and loyal core audience. At the end of the day, Marvel is a business — if we don't make money, they come around and turn all the lights out. Every series in our publishing line needs to earn its keep in one way or another. If it's a property we really believe in, we may run a given series into the red for awhile to see if we can't find a way to turn it around, but we simply cannot do that on every title that garners critical acclaim."
The inclusion of Runaways and The Immortal Iron Fist among the newly canceled and the, let's call it, "recently repackaged" led some to wonder whether Brevoort had just dropped a bombshell.
"Runaways is canceled?" one commenter posted. "I think that's news." We received an email over the weekend wondering the same thing.
No, a Marvel spokesman tells Robot 6, they're not canceled: Runaways lives and Iron Fist is "officially on hiatus while Immortal Weapons runs through the end of 2009."
According to ICv2.com's estimates for April, The Immortal Iron Fist #25 sold about 22,300 copies, followed by Captain Britain with just less than 20,000 and Runaways with 19,850.
Talk of Iron Fist's cancellation began in March when a version of Marvel's June solicitations circulated referring to Issue 27 as the "landmark final issue." The text was quickly removed.
A short time later Marvel announced the title would go on hiatus beginning in July and temporarily be replaced by Immortal Weapons, a five-issue miniseries spotlighting the deadly champions introduced in "The Seven Capital Cities of Heaven" story arc.
Runaways, of course, has been canceled and relaunched a couple of times. The new creative team of Kathryn Immonen and Sarah Pichelli take over volume 3 of the series with June's Issue 11.
And Captain Britain was the subject of an earlier scare when it was erroneously announced in January that the titled had been canceled. Less than three months later, Marvel let the ax fall.
I fear for Runaways. I hope the new team can do well and turn it around after Moore's lack luster run. I think Runaways is a bit more protected because it does so well in trades/digests and is very popular with libraries and school librarians. I know our Middle School can't keep the volumes on the shelf and they have a few of each copy.
Careless talk costs titles…
Yeah, I wonder how many people will leave Iron Fist and Runaway behind now that they have been "erroneously" marked as cancelled.
In this economy, it is more likely that people will go ahead and drop them now that they are perceived as in danger rather than rally and not only hang on but try to expand the readership.
Oh well, it's about time for Runaways to go anyway. If you count all versions, it has run over 50 issues, which is a decent run these days. And Iron Fist, well, he's never been successful on his own, so getting over 2 years is probably more than most fans had hoped for.
One last question, is Moon Knight cancelled as well?
"Yeah, I wonder how many people will leave Iron Fist and Runaway…"
I left Iron Fist and ran away a long time ago.
Runaways is a great book. I'm going to be shocked and deeply disappointed with Marvel if they cancel it. It is in fact the last series I'm still collecting from them, now that the Ultimate verse has had the ax taken to it.
iron fist is one of best marvel has if it gets canned im going to pissed
be pissed
I miss the days of going bimonthly before full cancellation. Different era, different economy, unfortunately.
The LCS talk of Captain Britian and MI13 being axed at round issue 3 or 4 led to me dropping the series, but I went on for a while longer just to get the ax. Ironfist and Runaways can fade away as far as I am concerned, both series ended when Vaughn, and Fraction left.
well i will say runways new run has been rather horrible… just like the last Arc of volume 2!!!!!!!! but Iron Fist in my opinion has been real good from issue 1
I loved 'Strangers in Paradise' and I'm enjoying 'Echo' but I could barely stomach 'Runaways' volume 3. In truth, Moore may have written a great run but – and I know I'm probably WAY in the minority here – I wouldn't know because I absolutely abhorred the artwork. I can't think of any of Humberto Ramos' work that I've liked except maybe 'Revelations', and it was more tolerated for the sake of the Paul Jenkins script than actually 'liked'. As with most Ramos' work, when reading 'Runaways', I had trouble telling one character from another and the stylization and posturing killed any pretense of 'action'. Frankly, I felt like I was in a Speed Racer Moebius strip. I dropped it after issue 3.
Iron Fist has been fantastic the whole way through and I would be really pissed too if the series is canceled. . The transition from Fraction and Brubaker to Swierczynski was surprisingly seamless and I dig the new artist. Glad that Swierczynski is at least doing back-ups in the Immortal Weapons mini.
Same here. I started to get vol. 3 due to love of the characters, but apparently my love wasn't strong enough to survive Ramos's artwork.
Most of the comments her are right, Iron Fist is so good and different to the normal run of the mill superhero stuff. It is the best title on the stands, how do we get more sales though? Please let it continue after the Immortal Weapons one shots.
Runaways hasn't been really good since Vaughn left. Whedon wasn't bad but he wasn't great either and Moore's run was tolerable but ruined by the art. The book has been on a steady decline, but I'm hoping the new team can inject some life back into the title.
I was one of the people who almost dropped Iron Fist after Fraction left, but I kept getting it. While the first arc wasn't much to write home about the series has picked up alot since and it has reached levels close to the Fraction days.
Runaways has been to inconsistent to be a regular purchase but after reading the latest issue online, i had to buy a copy off ebay. It was hilarious and adorable! If I could be sure that every issue was that good,I'd be buying it every month.
Honestly I don't expect Iron Fist to come back. I dropped the book due to money shortage earlier this year. Did the same with Runaways but ironically I picked it back up because I heard the cancellation rumors and since I have every issue of Runaways I figured I should keep getting it until the end.
Aren't we paying an extra $1 for Dark Avengers so Marvel can still publish Iron Fist, Capt Brit and Moon Knight?
I also wonder how much movies have to do with it. Both Iron Fist and Runaways have been optioned for movies. Isn't Vaughn actually working on the script for the Runaways movie? So there's that bonus for trying to keep these comics in print. But there was never going to be a Captain Britain and MI-13 movie. And while the series is great, the numbers had been freefalling for more than a year. I'm annoyed it was cancelled, but I can't blame Marvel for it.
Actually, I can blame them for one thing…I think they did themselves harm in how slow they were to get the tpbs out on Captain Britain and how poorly packaged they were. The first one had four issues of the regular series and two reprints of an old Marvel Team-Up. The second trade isn't out yet. For low selling series like this, you need to see if the trades can support it when the individual issues won't. And they never really gave Captain Britain a chance.
I'd urge people to go out and buy the latest Runaways issue, released just last week. In the main feature, Chris Yost writes probably the best take on the characters since Vaughan himself. Artist Sara Pichelli offers up a style which is both reminisent of Takeshi Miyazawa's manga-influenced style, yet also distictly her own http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=preview&id=2663 – for a preview. The X-Men (written with equal skill and care) are featured, as well as their latest stomping ground – critiqued brilliantly by the unimpressed Chase – and the issue's a completely self contained narrative which even adds to the overall mythology of the The Pride.
James Asmus (W) and Emmas Rios (A) provide a perfect piece of seemingly honest truth-or-dare nostagia in a back-up feature that ought to have been expanded to 22 pages, but that's not to say it doesn't work perfectly well in its constrained context. The art for this feature is, incidently, the most visually enthralling i've seen in a Marvel book for quite a while, and this pair really should to be on the Runaways back-ups month-in-month-out.
All said, issue 10 is the best Runaways has been in a while. Kathryn Immonen's run (beginning next issue), while deservedly anticipated thanks to an excellent Hellcat mini, already has a lot to live up to.
They better not cancel "Runaways" anytime soon. Moore's run may not have been the best but it was far from bad.
But Captain Britain is soooooo much better than Iron Fist and Runaways have been recently. Don't get me wrong, I love all of these books, I'd love to see Marvel continue to keep publishing all of them and keep giving them wonderful creative teams but CB/MI:13 is the best book Marvel is publishing right now, while the current creative teams of Iron Fist and Runaways are just kinda treading water. I love Terry Moore but Runaways doesn't have the edge or the verve that it used to, and Iron Fist too is, y'know, it's a well-told story and it's certainly worth the price tag for it's fan but I don't know that it's really contributing anything urgently unique and exciting to the Marvel Universe like Cornell's book is.
I was so grateful for all the faith Quesada and company put in Runaways, and all the publicity they put behind it when Vaughan was still at the helm… but CB/MI:13 is now what Runaways was then. THAT's the bug they've got to be plugging, instead of sentimentally holding now to the book that was hot and fresh 5 years ago.
er… meant to say "that's the book," not "that's the bug…" wtf?
"Aren't we paying an extra $1 for Dark Avengers so Marvel can still publish Iron Fist, Capt Brit and Moon Knight?"
No, you're paying an extra $1 so they can make more money.
What I want to know is, if CB&MI13 was actually *losing* money (as opposed to "just not making as much money as Marvel would like), then how do all the series below it survive?
Man If they cancel Runaways I am going to be pissed. Hell I think my first two paychecks will go to buying all the other volumes left, just so they can keep it going, When the series first started, Vaughn did an amazing job, sadly he left, and Whendon took over not as great as Vaughn, but still charming. When Moore came in, the arc just dragged on, an evil DJ!? WTF!? Not to mention the art by Humberto, What the hell was that? It made the series style downgrade, Im pretty sure Humberto is a good artist, but for this series, the bar was set. I hope the new team can re-invent the series, if not, it's bye, bye Runaways… AGAIN!!!
