too bad she missed her chance to try that spin!
Eli, people are always going to be driving until we are 90 years old.
Sure, more people will opt for public transit. But there will always be people who will drive no matter what. Whether Venus is one of those or not, whatever. But trying to spin THIS incident as a support for public transit, as much as I want more public transit, sounds really fucking desperate.
Venus is screwed.
What a great spin: "I did it to raise the issue of mass transit!"
If the "i just vomited a little in my mouth" joke is retired, the "Cum Hoc, Ergo Propter Hoc" logical fallacy should be retired, too.
In other news, 2+2=5. Vote No on prop 1 and for Venus because transit is good and drunks are bad.
Does anyone else have a headache?
Eli, do you support Prop 1?
And would ECB support Prop 1 if she suddenly had to move away from Capitol Hill and couldn't walk home from Smith or wherever?
Pairs of drunk women usually take cabs instead of subways late at night, even in cities with fabulous mass-transit systems. We have cabs now -- maybe even more than if we built more light rail or a monorail -- so they should have taken one.
Venus can afford to call a fucking cab. Headache indeed.
Actually, I think it illustrates the fallacy of a 70% single-family-zoned city,in which people go to dinner in Ballard MILES AWAY from their Mt. Baker homes. It's about DENSITY, foolz.
But... if the Stranger has their way there will BE no light rail. You're saying we should have started years ago... so won't be saying that years FROM now? When we had a chance to do something and didn't? (If history repeats itself, we will have another serious proposal in 10-20 years, which we will vote down because it costs too much, while bemoaning the fact we didn't do this when it cost so much less).
ECB doesn't live on Capitol Hill, does she?
This is a good analysis Eli, probably the best I've read in all the words already spilled over this story. It's easy relate to Venus and what she did. I have also driven home after drinking a couple. Not smashed, but a little light headed. Honestly, many of my friends, my family, even my parents, have made similar choices on occasion. Regardless of whether it's right or wrong, it's pretty normal.
However, it does show very very bad judgment to do it on the eve of an election which is supposed to start your burgeoning political career. Obviously taking a train wasn't an option for Venus, but taking a taxi sure was. Or asking a friend to drive. Or drinking less in the first place. Any dummy know knows you have to be on your best behavior when the boss is watching. It's hard to vote for anyone who displays such unformed political intuition.
Never read anything so stupid - take a cab is the only reply, and we do have lots of those all over Seattle
don't drive, you risk killing people
it is only about her and her morals/ethics
has nothing to do with mass transit, god what pin heads to keep supporting the frunkard - if there was a train station next to the bar she would have gotten into her car
really, how strange, you guys are a two bit propaganda machine
"A risk taker"? Yeah, that's the way to look at it. Sheesh.
Finishtag @8, thank you for telling where I should be allowed to eat dinner and where I shouldn't. If Velazquez would just sit in her apartment and do bong hits, this never would have happened.
In any case, heres what I see as the biggest lesson of the Velazquez DUI imbroglio: The need for more light rail and better mass transit.
LOL... I should have known Eli would try and spin this into a transit argument.
Not that I disagree. More transit means fewer drunks taking such a stupid risk.
So Yes on Prop- oh wait. Right.
There's no point in being a risk taker if you always lose. That's just stupid.
Like getting ticketed five times for no insurance, and somehow getting out of it each time. That's not intelligent risk taking. That's the way Paris Hilton or Britney Spears calculates risk: it doesn't matter if you get popped because you can just use money or connections or dogged stubborn denial to weasel your way out of it.
I was all set to vote for her too.
Eli, my lover (he so *loves* that term) and I were in NYC last week same time as you. We stayed in Park Slope and took the subway into the Lower East Side to attend a friend's birthday celebration at a bar. As you noted, this is the transportation mode of choice for all "responsible drinkers" in real cities. That was especially brought home for us when on BOTH trips, a responsible drinker vomited all over his shoes in the subway car we were riding in. Our Brooklyn-based friend said he's never seen that happen in 2 years of riding the trains. Must have been our tourist-karma.
But at least they weren't driving, eh Venus?
We all know mass transit is just for the little people. Politicians' schedules are just too important to fit to the vagaries of the bus schedule.
Venus appears ready to fit in to the council just fine.
It's the wrong approach to base your choice on whether or not you break the law based on the solutions available to you. The thought process should be: "I shouldn't drive. What are my options home?" Taxi, bus, walk, spend the night, etc. Not the other way around where you let the solutions dictate your decision.
I can see women getting drunk and taking the long elevator down to the light rail tunnel late at night.
Oh, wait, no, sorry, that's not going to happen.
Being a risk taker with other people's lives just simply isn't cool.
I honestly don't even know where to begin talking about this. As someone who got popped for DUI a number of years ago after a night of very light drinking, I sense a massive tidal wave of denial everytime something like this happens. Honestly, really: How many people in Seattle have gone to a house party, etc, had a drink or two (or more) and driven home? Thousands. Tens of thousands. It happens a hundred times--at least--every day. Every one of my friends has done it many, many times. If you haven't done it, you're either wealthy enough to afford cabs, able to walk everywhere you go to drink, or a teetotaler. If you haven't been busted yet, it's not because you have some magic power to drive after drinking without being caught. It just means you're lucky.
Thus, her "bad judgement," as you call it might more accurately be described as bad luck. It was stupid of her to be going 50 in a 30 after having a few drinks, I'll admit that. But let's wait and see what her breath results were, which apparently haven't been released yet.
Now after saying that, I inevitably hear from another variety of in-denial douchebag--the one that starts saying shit like "even at .08, she put her life and the life of others in danger!!" Yeah, yeah...ever driven on not enough sleep? How about in a car that hadn't had the tire pressure checked in a few months? There are a dozen more example I could give of non-alcohol-related shit that is just as--if not more--dangerous than someone driving on .08.
Now, if she was really loaded, blowing a .20 or some shit and slurring her words like Rip Torn, I'd say she fucked up. Some things are just inexcusably stupid (though I dare say that some of the people lobbing shit at her now have probably hit the road with a .20 or higher themselves at some point in their lives). But it's fucking hysterical, reactionary shit to start calling someone out for a .08, or even a .10, unless you're the most ultra-responsible, always hyper-alert-and-driving-a-totally-tuned-car grandma driver (in which case, you're a total freak and you probably have weird anal issues).
The best part of Eli's post is at the end, when the point is made about a lack of transit options. Unless you live and drink in the same neighborhood, every time, your options are currently:
1) Cab there and back, which depending on where you live can run you $50 or more.
2) Take a bus there and cab/bus back, which cuts cost but requires up to (and beyond) an additonal hour of time (plus a lot more hassle).
3) Find a non-drinking buddy to be your personal chauffeur.
3) Drive, and pray.
Guess which option most people choose? It's rational behavior, given the options, to drive after drinking. THAT is a way bigger problem than anything Venus did.
One more thing: Why don't they have "double-headed" cabs in this town? The kind that drive both you AND your car home? Just that would take a fair number of drunks off the road. But I guess it's easier to keep judging and punishing people instead of providing better options for them.
Good point, Matthew.
And sorry about the typos in that last post...it happens when I'm venting.
21. I'm sure someone who lost their loved ones to a drunk driver would get a kick out of you calling them a 'douchebag' and living in 'denial' for calling Venus out... but I can look past that for now.
It goes beyond the simple act of drunk driving. She sped badly and couldn't stay in her lane, then lied to the officer when she got caught. This is about her not just driving drunk, but showing terrible judgment in the process.
And I guess we can add Will to the 'hypocrites looking the other way and spewing denial because it's Venus Velasquez' list.
Thanks for the sanity check, Matthew.
Driving while tired isn't illegal, Matthew, but you can still be pulled over, ticketed, and even arrested for driving recklessly. That said, I live in the city, am a young, broke college student, and can afford a cab ride home, especially when I think about it a bit and either plan ahead and split it with friends or drink somewhere where a cab ride is cheap to get back home from (downtown to UD at 2am is about $15 for me). To say that one can't both be a normal, social person and go out and not avoid drunken driving is just stupid. I drink. Often. But I don't drive drunk. It's not that fucking hard if you're thoughtful.
Which is why I have problems with Venus. Eli's article becomes comically dumb when he tries to tie this in to mass transit, but if you ignore the last four paragraphs it's the best commentary I've yet read about the scandal: it shows a serious lack of political savvy. She's got three weeks to go, the ballots drop today, a high-profile drinking-related scandal happened a week ago, and she can't think to call a fucking cab? That's just fucking idiotic. She should be in full-on campaign mode - every fucking thought is going to revolve around GOTV, fundraising, messaging, etc - but wasn't able to think about the costs a DUI would have? That's troubling in the extreme, as it means she was either beyond hammered and *couldn't* think about it, or just as bad means she isn't being serious.
Also, since we're going on tangents and all, the big issue here is not just that she did it, but that she's currently running for city council, a situation where, despite all the hypocritical transgressions that go down as a politician, she is supposed to be held to a higher character standard. And here she caught in the act of stooping as low as your average frat/sorority pledge.
And we're supposed to look the other way and vote for her in November? Because Bruce Harrell is a big-interest puppet? (Like Venus is not, but that's a whole other issue)
This whole debate hasn't just shown us a lot about Venus' character, but it's shown us a lot about the likes of ECB, Meinert, Will and otehr apologists. It shows that there's two sets of standards that they hold people to, and which one you face depends on how much they like you.
Well done, folks. Well done like true winners at life.
i'm not sure what is more stupid - the contrived suggestion about mass transit (i'm a transit fan too but... c'mon, let's be serious here...) or venus velazquez. transit or not, she's an idiot for doing what she did - you can't be too careful when you're running for public office.
too bad.
Matthew: Really insightful and interesting post.
Many people drive drunk every day. Many of the high horse comments expressing shock... SHOCK... strike me as unrealistic.
I've driven home after a house party several times. I've ridden home with someone else who has been drinking after a house party several times.
This past August my cousin rode home with a friend from a house party. The driver had several tickets for speeding and reckless driving in his past. He had a habit of driving too fast. Everyone knew it.
So when the road he was on terminated at a T intersection, the combination of speed and alcohol sent the car straight into a tree. There is no indication that he attempted to brake.
My cousin was in the passenger seat, and a third passenger was in the back seat. The driver managed to only kill my cousin and the third passenger. He survived.
The force of the impact literally split the car lengthwise. My cousin broke nearly every bone in his body. Even though he was an organ donor, not a single organ in his body could be given to someone in need. Not even his eyes.
The passenger in back did not die instantly. He was found by the homeowner who was awoken by the sound of the impact. He was hanging half in and half out of the car. He bled to death and died at the scene.
My cousin Andy and his friend Josh were unlucky. They were unlucky because this kid Tom killed them doing something that you, I, and most everyone else has done--drive drunk or ride with a drunk.
So while I agree that the holier than thou attitude is not cool, Venus is the luckiest fucking person on the planet that she's not in jail facing manslaughter charges for killing her passenger or an innocent bystander.
Drunk driving is not socially acceptable. It is not "normal". And it shouldn't be excused, qualified, spun, or made light of by saying that it's because we don't have mass transit.
This. Shit. Kills.
End of fucking story.
First off, Gomez, are you not aware of how police reports--especially those of DUI cases--are rather exaggerated and designed to make the driver look bad? If you read my DUI arrest report, you'd think I was a drunken asshole, but I can assure you I was not. They design them in such a way to maximize convictions. Anyone with a ticky-tack DUI (and we are legion) knows this. You trust them way too much. Maybe she was mostly going 40 in a 30, and just touched 50 for a half a second going down a hill. Maybe she left the lane avoiding something in the road, or just drifted for a second like even sober people sometimes do when they're bored, or tired, or whatever.
But anyway...nobody is saying drunk driving is a good thing to do. It's stupid. But when you look at the options available, it's absolutely inevitable that it will happen. Nobody thinks they're going to be the one that kills somebody while driving drunk. Which means most everybody will still drive drunk. You can try and guilt people out of it, but it's not going to make a damn bit of difference. Do you want to solve the problem, or just demonize everybody?
And where's the "I lost my son to a driver whose car wasn't in good driving condition, so let's lock people up for having low tire pressure" crowd? Or the "I lost my wife to a tired driver who had to get up too early for work after a bad night's sleep, so let's lock up sleepy people" crowd? Isn't it just as important to drive a road-worthy vehicle and be well-rested as it is to be sober?
Please. Stop the hypocrisy, the hysteria and the selective rage, and let's try to find an actual, workable solution.
I have a great solution: don't elect someone who acts as stupid as Venus did.
Venus can learn from this and change, but rewarding her with a city council election sends a horrible message and only validates her actions. She should clean up her act and try again in a few years.
nothing left FTW. Well put.
Is Venus's challenger really that bad? WTF Stranger.
She shoulda have ridden her bike home only! When drunkz drive carz they become suicide bomberz, only worse! If no train fine, but should have free yellows bikez (like Francia! Or Portandia!) for all of us! Even city counzil candidatez and their drunk friendz!
I totally agree with Matthew. Venus only had 2 drinks. She's 5'02". As a woman who's 5'03", I understand how alcohol can sneak up on you without even making you feel drunk. Was it stupid for Venus to be drinking at all without planning ahead? Obviously. But at the same time, it's not like she was at a bar chugging beers. She had 2 drinks, with dinner. She drove because she didn't realize she was drunk. If people vote against her with a "holier than thou" attitude, I guess they've never made mistakes in their lives (or never gotten caught). I personally would rather have a city council member who makes good decisions for this city than an idiot who didn't drive drunk during his campaign. I'm sure Venus's mistake is punishing her. Do we all want to let Bruce Harrell punish us?
Eli, as D. Parvaz said, Venus' behavior wasn't "risk-taking," it was reckless. Even if you excuse driving under the influence on absentee-mail day, 50 in a 30 under the influence is much worse. If you are buzzed and have any sense, you drive very carefully. However, if you drive way over the speed limit after drinking, it shows you've been drinking so much you have lost any judgment, or that your judgment is very bad in the first place.
Now, I don't think a DUI disqualifies you, but under the circumstances, why would I vote for someone who Gary Harts when Bruce Harrell seems decent enough? I agree that Harrell hasn't been an impressive campaigner, but he's got a solid resume, and hasn't shown the tendency to self-destruct.
Jane Hague and her reaction to her DUI arrest (as well as the fact she lied on her King County Elections app - where has that story gone to?) is even worse. I'd even vote for Richard Pope to get rid of her, but I don't live in that district, so we'll have to hope they don't condone mean drunks in Bellevue.
Matthew @30... For the record, the entire stretch of Market Street in Ballard where VV was observed and stopped by SPD is FLAT AS CAN BE. No hills.
It is also a very wide street, with two traffic lanes in each direction, plus a parking lane on each side of the street, so technically, a six-lane road.
It is ALSO a VERY HEAVY PEDESTRIAN area, populated with younger out-on-the town hipsters (if Ballard has acheived that status yet), as well as OLD PEOPLE WHO CAN'T JUMP OUT OF THE WAY VERY QUICKLY.
Venus was endangering both herself, her staff, and the citizenry she so badly wants now to represent.
Not the best way to win votes.
Well put Eli; that's exactly what I have been thinking.
She has a kid, right?
So had a car or a bus been on the other side of that yellow double line and the impact killed Venus and/or her passenger, what would her kid think when she gets older.
That mama was a brassy risk taker?
That mama did something that lots of people do?
That mama drove drunk when it wasn't politically expedient?
Or would she think that mama is dead.
Or would she think that mama is in jail because her passenger is dead.
Stop the hypocrisy, the hysteria and the selective rage, and let's try to find an actual, workable solution.
There is no sorta-kinda-maybe here. You put your life on the line every time you drive drunk. Whether you get lucky once, twice, or hundreds of times, you only end up dead once to lose it all.
And you know it's the family that has to pick up the pieces.
Anecdote: My uncle and cousin went to the morgue to ID Andy's body.
They had his body covered with a blanket, with only his left arm and face uncovered.
My cousin recounted it thus:
Alan walked over to Andy and held his hand.
He said, "Yep. Cold." As if to confirm the death.
"I cut your umbilical cord."
A few days later, rumor around the family was that Alan had a small zip lock bag in his pocket with some of Andy's ashes.
So yeah. Quit the hysteria. This isn't that big of a deal.
Hmmm, to get emotional about this I think anyone who gets into a car while drunk is a piece of shit. (I have had two friends killed by drunk drivers). So no way will I vote for her at this point.
But the mass transit option that was mentioned I totally agree with. If we had reliable transit around the clock she would have had options. (Anyone else irritated by the commercials on TV that encourage you to take a cab or BUS when you are drunk? What fucking bus are you going to take at 2am Saturday morning???)
Still, she could have called a cab and she is still a piece of shit who takes the same "risks" that George Bush takes.
BTW, by "risks" I mean the same level of risks that Bush would take.
wtf?!?! i can handle, "V fucked up, but i think she'll still do a good job...' i can't stand this, "we all make mistakes -- we all drive drunk."
first, no, we all don't drive drunk. and so what if the police exaggerated a report (which i believe they do). in these cases, they have laws to back them up... such as breathalizers (of if you skip one it clearly spelled out repercussions).
we have strick penalties on ticky-tack DUI's because people -- like matthew here -- continue to believe it is not a big deal. hello? it is a big deal. get that through your heads.
you can still like her, vote for her, forgive her, or whatever. just don't try to tell me it's not a serious fuck up.
You mean like trying to use the same lies about WMD and al-Qaeda on Iran, another country that actually has killed more al-Qaeda than we ever have?
Like what the MSM (especially the Washington Post and NY Times) are trying to faithfully regurgitate for the White House today and yesterday?
Is that what you mean @41?
uh, i do agree with matthew on one thing: when you get all worked up, your typo rate also increases.
I don't know from Velaquez. Up until a few weeks ago, I had never seen her and thought she was a drag queen or something. So believe me when I say I have no agenda on this issue.
But let me throw this out there: Is there any reason the cops might be gunning for her, and would have arrested her on a trumped up DUI charge? Back in Omaha, they do crap like that all the time. They took down a good progressive mayor by trailing one of his kids and arresting him for DUI right before the election. It was later thrown out of court.
Then again, the Omaha police also kill black people in jail and call it suicide, and nobody questions it. If you do, they call you a liberal, which is their new word for communist, which was their new word for witch. They're pretty stupid there.
42. Another note on the 'possible exaggeration' theory... you have to be driving erratically for a cop to pull your ass over in the first place, whether speeding or swerving or both.
That the cop made it a point to mention both indicates both had happened, which indicates the cop had observed both. Let's not play the 'cop made it all up' conspiracy card. Why would a cop waste his time and go out of his way to fabricate a drunk driving charge?
well, i would like to be clear: i hate it when police lie or exaggerate because they feel it makes it more likely they will get a conviction. that is injustice. you should be able to convict based on the actual evidence or not at all.
because in some cases, the accused has no recourse to defend themselves.
when pulled over for drunk driving, however, YOU DO. it's not he said/he said. only, valazquez refused her opportunity (the breathalizer).
The Stranger: unwilling to endorse a drunken train ride home because someone somewhere on the Eastside might be able to take an unnecessary car ride down I-405.
Gomez, you hit the nail on the head. As drunk-driving busts go, this one is probably middle-of-the-road (given the seriousness of the act). But for her to continue running now just confirms her total lack of political judgment. Yes, nothing tragic happened, luckily, and she seems contrite for now. But she needs to pull out of the race, get out of the spotlight, and maybe try again in a couple of election cycles. It's the only politically sound move she can make at this point.
Oh, and to commend her for being "lucky" is beyond contemptible. The only "lucky" people here are any pedestrians or drivers along her route home that night.
The train argument is a stretch, but the city council COULD take hundreds of drunks a week off the street by raising the cap on the number of cabs. Did you know NYC has 13,000? Seattle has 667, and the cap hasn't been raised for years.
Why don't those genuises behind the 10 cents a cup for daycare or whatever get behind a similar liquor tax to subsidize cab rides to provide the earnings a larger fleet of drivers will need to earn a living?
I would not be averse to supporting Venus in future elections, should she learn something from this and take time to grow from it as a person.
But as of right now, to continue along is in bad taste at absolute best. She is not painting a positive image in asking for our vote after such a poor display of judgment.
Gomez: I am curious about the strange split-personality positions you seem to hold re cops in general and SPD in particular.
Over the past couple of years I've seen you make numerous references to the racism of the SPD and how they target blacks.
I've also seen you make references to how the cops won't do their jobs and arrest people (esp/the thug wannabes in the UD).
You also make references to the fact that police don't arrest people unless they're guilty of something. And @ 46 you say: "you have to be driving erratically for a cop to pull your ass over in the first place, whether speeding or swerving or both."
Sorry, but that last is flat out bullshit. Having been stopped by the police numerous times for no reason other than stereotyping/profiling, I tend to give the benefit of the doubt to the civilian rather than the cop.
And cops (SPD in particular) are notorious for lying in their police report. Just see the brouhaha earlier this year where a drugstore videotape totally contradicted the written police report.
Because I'm being objective, and judging situations on a case by case basis instead of just relying exclusively on typecasts?
seems as though the blogosphere is swinging in Venus' favor. In addition to the stranger still supporting Venus, Metroblogging seattle, seattle.metblogs.com/archives/2007/10/acc_recap_city.phtml, and Horsesass.org are both coming out accepting Venus' apology and supporting her.
Check out the Metroblogging link for a great example of why Venus is still the better candidate.
Meinhert - you are grasping at straws and a bad spin doctor.
I have been reading all the blogs and comments sites, my take is that comments are running 8 to 1 AGAINST Venus.
As has been the case on SLOG, the comments are running against Venus with fervor. What the Stranger does is incidental, the story encompassed the whole city. And trust me, most of the city does not read the Stranger and many do not know it exists.
Seattle voters do not like drunk drivers. You can try to paper over the facts all you want, she made a big mistake and will not be elected. I filled out my ballot this evening and it was easy to vote for Harrell, and I really was previously undecided in this race.
As they say, toast.
@55: Sorry, Dave, but simply writing something doesn't make it true. Venus is getting zero love across the blog spectrum and her campaign is in bad trouble. Just the facts, man.
I can let Venus pass on the alcohol issue because sometimes people can drive with a higher alcohol blood level.
But I can't forgive reckless driving.
My mother has been hit by a car going too fast. She almost died.
My brother had been hit by a car going too fast. He almost died.
I had been hit by a car going too fast - but I got off okay.
It pisses me off when people race down streets without regard to life.
@56 and 57, go to the links I posted and read them and you will see different.
People are not excusing Venus driving drunk for sure, but they are accepting her apology and refocusing on the issues, and when that happens Venus shines.
Talking about this and the Burgess CWA thing at home this morning, thinking there is a possibility that the bad press Burgess got from his CWA work actually ended up working in his favor as it shed light on the race and made people familiar with each candidate. When people looked closely at Burgess and Della, they saw Burgess as the obvious choice. This seems to be happening here as well.
A DUI is a very bad thing, no excuses, but as the story sheds light on the race, Venus comes out looking like the real intelligent progressive in race with specific policies on real issues, while Harrell still can't seem to be pinned down, likely because he either doesn't have actual well thought out positions or because he leans right and his actual positions would be offensive to most seattle voters. The Metroblogging review of the west seattle debate between Venus and Harrell highlights this point. Check it out.
She blew .115, y\'all.
So assuming she was drinking for 3 hours (her event ended at like 8:30, right? and she got pulled over at 11:30?), and assuming she weighs 120 lbs, in order to get a BAC between .11 and .12 she would have to drink:
6 gin and tonics
approx 6.5 12 oz beers
5 margaritas
approx 3.5 dry martinis
3 doubles on the rocks

Excerpts from the PI account:
After the hearing, Velazquez apologized to her family, supporters and the voters - and said she still wants to serve on the city council. "I made a mistake and I'm sorry," she said.
She accepted responsibility for driving Wednesday night and not taking a taxi.
The City Attorney's office asked for $1,500 in bail. But Judge Adam Eisenberg rejected that request, as well as ones for an ignition device on her vehicle and an electronic monitoring device.
But Eisneberg prohibited her from consuming alcohol or drugs as long as her case remains active. She also must take an alcohol breath test if a police officer asks her to do so, he said.
Velazquez on Friday went to a state-certified agency, which found that she does not have an alcohol problem, her attorney Bill Bowman said.
After she was pulled over on Wednesday, a portable breath test showed that she had an alcohol level of 0.115, Bowman said after the hearing.
But the technology used with the portable machine, he said, often has higher readings than the device used at a police station. She declined to take a breath test at the police station.
The difference, Bowman said, is that the portable machine measures molecules in a person's lungs, while a device at a station screens molecules in the mouth.
Also, evidence from portable machines is not used in court, Bowman said. But an officer can use it for guidance at the scene.
"She is saying that the correct choice would have not been to drive at all," Bowman said. "She takes the blame for that."
From the Times
The Seattle Police Officers' Guild and Seattle Fire Fighters Union Local 27 on Friday say they still support her candidacy.
Ryan Ellis, president of the firefighters union, was at dinner with Velázquez the night she was arrested. Ellis said she didn't look impaired, but he left the restaurant before Velázquez.
"We're not changing our support in any way, shape or form," Ellis said. "We originally supported her for her stance on public safety and that's what we are continuing to support her for."
Denis Hayes, the president of The Bullitt Foundation who gave Velázquez a personal endorsement, said, "If I never voted for a political candidate who had driven after having two drinks, I suspect I would probably have never voted in my life." He will continue to support her, but added, "I expect her to exercise better judgment in the future."
Laura Kohn, executive director for the New School Foundation who gave Velázquez her personal endorsement, said, "What I'm hearing is that Venus is acknowledging that she's made a mistake and she's taking it very seriously. Because of all that, I don't have concerns about it. If she had been in denial or fighting it in any way minimizing it it would be a problem for me, but she's addressing it responsibly."
I don\'t have concerns about it. If she had been in denial or fighting it in any way minimizing it it would be a problem for me, but she\'s addressing it responsibly
Pleading not guilty is fighting it. The responsible thing to do would be to plead guilty. If she\'s not guilty, then there is no reason she should have taken a cab. You don\'t say you should have taken a cab if you\'re sober. You say you should have taken a cab if you shouldn\'t have been driving because you were legally drunk. Which she was. So I think by Laura Kohn\'s own logic, I can\'t vote for her.
Venus has a Masters in Social Work but she is NOT licensed as a clinical social worker. (Don't you wonder why?) She can lie her way through a test that shows if she has a problem with alcohol or drugs. She is spinning her lies as we post comments. Seattle should vote in Bruce Harrell because he is not a divisive person. He obviously is more mature and uses better judgement. If you have money, family and friends --- you have no excuse to drive in a car after one drink or two drinks.

"Not just for toast." That's what Kathy Lee of Modern Gingham Preserves has to say about jam. And indeed, the condiment has come along way from Smuckers. You could even say jam is having a moment: it's sweet and savory (ever tasted tomato-vanilla?), it's stirred into cocktails, it's pumped up with spirits; it's served with cheese. Join Lee and 5280's Food Editor Amanda M. Faison to discuss the glory of jam (and how to get better at making it!). Check out the jammers' bible—The Blue Chair Jam Cookbook by Rachel Saunders—from the library, cook from its pages, and come ready to discuss.

Sorry, everyone. One of your favorite dream girls, the beautiful Scarlett Johansson, is off the market.
PEOPLE reported Wednesday that the actress and her French beau of less than a year, Romain Dauriac, are engaged.
We're glad Scar has found a lasting love — but who did she date before finding…
Is this Hitchcock star getting hitched?
Scarlett Johansson was spotted walking around New York City's East Village on Monday alongside her French journalist beau Romain Dauriac with what appears to be some serious bling on her ring finger.
But don't be fooled by the rock that she's got. The 28-year-old is…
No love has been lost — quite literally — between Scarlett Johansson and Nate Naylor, amid multiple reports the pair split after more than 12 months together.
"Everything is fine right now," Nate's father told Celebuzz on Wednesday, when asked if the actress, 27, had broken up with his New York-based advertising executive son.
They don't call it the City of Love for nothing.
Scarlett Johansson and her beau Nate Naylor were spotted canoodling on the streets of Paris on Sunday. The couple, who went public with their romance in February, even shared a cigarette as they walked home from dinner with friends at Le Schmuck restaurant.

As FDR, Murray deserves vote for 'Hyde Park on Hudson'
She's the president's fifth or sixth cousin - "depends on how you count." So when she's called to visit Cousin Franklin - that'd be Franklin D. Roosevelt, the 32nd president of the United States - at his family retreat in Hyde Park, N.Y., Daisy can't help feeling insignificant.
Unfortunately, throughout "Hyde Park on Hudson," the new historical drama with Bill Murray in an Oscar-nomination-magnet of a performance as FDR, it's hard not to share her opinion. »Read Full Article

Proposed EPA pollutant rule could raise electricity rates by up to 60 percent
Customers nationwide are likely to see electricity prices rise anywhere from 1.8 percent to 60 percent in the coming years due in part to new EPA regulations that may soon be put into effect.
In what a Wall Street Journal opinion piece calls the most expensive rule in the agencys history, the Environmental Protection Agency moved against coal-fired power via a rule released in March targeting emissions of mercury, lead and other air pollutants from coal-fired power plants.
Bloomberg Businessweek quotes the EPA as saying the move is necessary because it will bring $140 billion in health benefits by 2016 and will save 17,000 lives a year.
But most of those alleged benefits are indirect — i.e., not from the mercury reductions that the rule is supposed to be for," The Wall Street Journal argues. "Rather, they come from pollutants ('airborne particles') that the EPA already regulates under other parts of the Clean Air Act. ... The real goal of the EPAs rule is to shut down fossil fuel electric power in the name of climate change.
After Congress failed to pass greenhouse gas legislation when Democrats controlled the House, Senate and White House, President Barack Obama turned to the EPA to regulate emissions using the Clean Air Act. The clean-air rule focused on mercury is being imposed by court order on a fixed four-year schedule due to start in November, according to the Financial Times. Investors Business Daily reports the agency has another 30 major regulations and more than 170 major policy rules in the pipeline.
The EPAs rule would require coal power plants to meet certain emission requirements that would make the plants more expensive to operate, raising prices. The cost of retrofitting will also lead some plants to be shuttered.
In a National Economic Research Associates study prepared for the American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity, electricity sector costs are estimated to see an increase of $184 billion, or $17.8 billion per year. Average U.S retail electricity prices in 2016 are expected to increase by about 12 percent, with regional increases as much as 24 percent.
The effect of the rule is already being felt by states and companies, raising concerns about the economy and fears of higher energy prices nationwide.
In January, Rocky Mountain Power asked the Utah Public Service Commission for a 13.7 percent general rate increase. Spokesman David Eskelsen told the Deseret News the increase would mainly pay for the cost to produce electricity and for investments in equipment. On June 9 Kimball Rasmussen, CEO and President of Deseret Power, told Moon Lake Electric, a rural electric cooperative based in Roosevelt, Utah, that they expect to see a 6 percent to 8 percent increase in the price consumers pay for energy due to the EPAs required retrofits of coal plants.
Just a 6 percent rate increase for some Utahns could make them the object of envy for consumers in Illinois, who reportedly face a 40 percent to 60 percent increase in rates, according to the Chicago Tribune. The paper states the Illinois rate increase translates into an added $107 to $178 per year.
American Electric Power, which provides power to more than 5 million customers in 11 states, plans to retire nearly a quarter of its coal-fueled generating capacity in response to the rule. The company will also spend $8 billion to retrofit its remaining units. The impact of AEPs closures will be felt in Arkansas, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and West Virginia.
Indiana customers can expect to see an increase of 25 percent to 30 percent after AEP shutters three plants in Indiana, an editorial in the Fort Wayne News-Sentinel reports.

Boils Overview
Patient Comments Read 12 Comments
A boil is a skin infection that starts in a hair follicle or oil gland. At first, the skin turns red in the area of the infection, and a tender lump develops. After four to seven days, the lump starts turning white as pus collects under the skin. If the infection spreads to the deeper tissues of the skin, then it becomes an abscess or furuncle.
Causes of Boils
Patient Comments
Boils are usually caused by a bacteria called Staphylococcus (staph). Most staph infections develop into abscesses and can become serious very quickly. This germ can be present on normal skin and enters the body through tiny breaks in the skin or by traveling down a hair to the follicle.
Certain health problems make people more susceptible to skin infections such as boils. Examples are
Symptoms of Boils
A boil starts as a hard, red, painful lump usually less than an inch in size. Over the next few days, the lump becomes softer, larger, and more painful. Soon a pocket of pus forms on the top of the boil. Signs of a more advanced infection are

Skydive Tecumseh had offered a special deal by donating a portion of the jump fees and rounding up the total raised to $800. The event took place Saturday at the Meyers-Diver's Airport, Tecumseh.

Buffalo Is Really over Carl Paladino Now
The Buffalo 'News' endorsed his rival, Andrew Cuomo.
The GOP gubernatorial candidate in New York hails from Buffalo, a city he basically owns, but even the local paper isn't proud of this anymore. The Buffalo News endorsed his rival, Andrew Cuomo, today, declaring "there is no [other] choice." The paper added: "If Cuomo accomplishes only half of what he says he wants — detailed in a series of [policy] books he has released — he will have rendered a historic service to the state. While it has become trendy to sneer at 'career politicians,' the fact is that a good one knows his stuff." [AP]

China's mainland has completely bypassed the release of 3G
communication devices and has moved right ahead to 4G. China's first 4th
generation mobile phone was launched Sunday in Shanghai's Changning
district. Thanh
Nien Daily reports that the release has come after a field test in October
of 2006 and the rollout of the technology totals roughly 150 million yuan
($19.2 million USD).
The new 4G system provides wireless transmission speeds of up to 100Mbps, which
is much faster than current generation technologies, running at speeds that
match optical fiber. "It testifies that the technology we've
developed is feasible and brings us one step closer to put it into commercial
use," said You Xiaohu, a leading expert involved in the program.
The 4G research program was first initiated in 2001, dubbed the FuTURE Project
(Future Technology for Universal Radio Environment), as part of China's
high-tech development plan. It is composed of 10 leading domestic
to Tech News World, the project
has obtained more than 200 patents, positioning China as the frontrunner in 4G
technologies research. It has the goal to be put into trial commercial use
between 2006 and 2010. In that time, the project will also conduct field tests
before its trial commercial launch.
With this technology said to be the standard by 2010, the
first licenses have not been issued yet, and China still has yet to sign
agreements with any providers until the field tests are complete.
has already released 4G technologies in South Korea with the same
capabilities and it seems that China is taking a big step to become a major
player in communication technologies.
quote: but Only Shanghai could use all advantages presented by 4g tech.
quote: But studies have already shown what constant cell phone use or extended time in proximity to these devices can do to the human psyche, immune system, reproductive system and on and on. Who knows that other tests are being conducted.
(Havn't found or read any others)
My question is this, if cell phones can reduce the amount of male sperm produced, cause headaches, irritability, stress, depression, and who knows how many other symptoms...

When I changed servers I decided to put my old wp in its own directory. I followed http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory, read about http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks as well as http://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_a_Static_Front_Page. Some how I have gotten things in a terrible convoluted state. I am in an infinite loop of change in .htaccess, index.php, permalinks and static pages with something always left broken. I need to know the concept instead of following 'copy don't move this' , 'update your permalinks that'.
It might be a problem that I named the subdirectory 'blog'.
The state right now is: I can get to wp-admin (whew). The site loads but not with the static page but with the blogposts. It shows the blogposts but if I click on a particular blog post it 404's. Tags and categories 404 too. The state of the settings is:
in root:
index.php is
define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);
.htaccess is
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?sitebuilt.net$
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ blog [L]
# END WordPress
in /blog:
index.php is:
define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);
.htaccess is
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
settings->permalinks is /%postname%/
pages->static_homepage is called 'home', the permalink is http://www/sitebuilt.net and it won't let me change it.
pages->place-holder_for_posts is called 'blogposts' and its permalink is http://www/sitebuilt.net/blogposts
With this setup permalinks are right off the hostname and it can't find them. I've changes stuff so permalinks say http://www.sitebuilt.net/blog/mypost and it still can't find them. Where are they? What's the theory of operation?

Chicago in the summer of 1932. It's the height of the Great Depression. 12 million are unemployed and they are spending a lot less money. With less money to spend, the price of booze goes down. And it keeps going down. The Whiskey Syndicate, headed by Vincent "the Moor" Tunis holds a meeting. To make a point, Tunis asks underling Charlie Grach for a toothpick. Charlie hasn't got one. Tunis roughs him up and points a gun at his head. Charlie still can't give Tunis a toothpick because he hasn't got one. "Neither can the speak operators," points out Tunis. The speakeasy owners can't give the Syndicate extra money for booze because they don't have the money. It's a simple matter of economics. Tunis then says that the Syndicate will fight economics with economics. They'll dry up the market and this will send the price of booze back up where it belongs.
Tunis and his associates then gather up all the surplus whiskey in Chicago and store it in a spot Tunis already has picked out--an abandoned Navy ammunition vault Tunis has been renting for years. Charlie Grach is put in charge of the operation but it seems as though he has decided to pay Tunis back for his earlier ill-treatment. He uses a dozen syndicate men to load the booze into the ammo vault but has two men he hired on his own off the unemployment line to an abandoned construction site just four blocks away. They put all the booze in a huge basement on the site. The job takes two weeks and after it's completed Charlie pays off the two workers. He shoots and kills George Dahlstrom but Myles Henning manages to escape.
Myles Henning, fearing for his life, flees to Washington D.C. with his wife and baby and joins the ill-fated Bonus Army which is marching on the nation's capitol. Meanwhile, Eliot Ness and the Untouchables are waiting to intercept a convoy of booze coming into Chicago from Canada. Tunis and his boys beat them to it and set the booze on fire. Then they begin beating up the suppliers of yeast for the families who make booze in their tenement homes. Rico says that it's almost as though Tunis is working for them. Ness knows that Tunis is only working for Tunis and tries to figure out what his game is.
Tunis discovers Charlie Grach's game soon enough when he takes the other members of the syndicate to the ammo vault and discovers that only about 150 cases of whiskey are there. The rest are missing. Grach is brought it and he puts the squeeze on Tunis. Tunis gets angry and begins beating him up but that won't bring back the missing whiskey. Grach says he'll reveal the location for half a million bucks to be delivered the following day at 4:00 p.m. when he has one foot on a plane going to New York. Tunis, who's outsmarted himself in this one, has no choice but to agree.
Driving away from the meeting, Grach begins suffering from blurred vision probably as a result of a concussion from being thrown into the whiskey cases by Tunis. He crashes his car and is rushed to the hospital with a serious injury. He begins babbling to a nurse about a $2 million dollar horde of booze. She phones both Ness and a newspaper reporter about this news. Ness arrives at Grach's hospital bed but learns nothing before the mobster passes away.
But the newspapers have a field day with the story about the secret horde of booze suggesting that perhaps this once Ness has taken a bribe. Tunis believes this too and shows up at Ness's office trying to cut a deal. Ness throws him out. U.S. Attorney Beecher Asbury offers to give Ness a vote of confidence but he declines it because then the newspapers will think Asbury is in on it with him. The only solution is to find the stash of stolen whiskey.
On July 14, George Dahlstrom's body is discovered. Through his union, Ness discovers that Charlie Grach was looking for laborers to hire for a job. They also discover that Grach had hired Myles Henning too and that he's gone missing. Through the VFW they discover that Henning has gone to Washington with his wife to join the Bonus Army. Ness and Rico head to D.C. leaving Hobson behind to hold the fort down.
The two Feds naturally search for Henning in the tent city set up by the Bonus Marchers. Word of this gets to Henning pretty fast. His wife doesn't trust the government and urges her husband to make a deal with Tunis. So he contacts Tunis and for th price of $5K he agrees to tell him the location of the stolen whiskey. They agree to meet the next day in the fictitious city of Roslyn (presumably a suburb of Washington) where Tunis will pay Henning his money.
Henning then departs for the meeting but Ness eventually locates his wife. He grills her and finally gets her to reveal the location of her husband's upcoming meeting with Tunis. The next day, Henning and Tunis show up for the meeting. Tunis has his two hoods in the car drive away and even throws away his gun to put Henning more at ease. Then he pulls out an envelope fille with case. Henning reveals the location of the whiskey. Tunis moves to hand the envelope to Henning but deliberately lets it slip from his grasp. When Henning bends over to pick it up, Tunis begins kicking the crap out of him.
Then the two hoods return in the car but Ness and Rico arrive on the scene just in the nick of time. There's a shootout and the two hoods go to meet their maker. Tunis, who's thrown away his weapon previously, wisely surrenders and is taken into custody. Henning decides it's better to make a deal with the government that with mobsters and reveals the location of the whiskey. Ness and the Untouchables raid the place and smash the hoard of whiskey. Ness's name had been cleared again and the syndicate had suffered a devastating ecomomic crash.

Q-Games casts PixelJunk Dungeons' future in doubt
Q-Games has dropped a heavy hint that PixelJunk Dungeons may never see light of day as a standalone game, saying that the top-down dungeon crawler's elements will show themselves in future PixelJunk projects.
"What PixelJunk Dungeons was and whether or not it comes out as PixelJunk Dungeons – the ideas we were talking about will be present in all the games we make from now on," PR and recruitment head Duncan Flett told VG247 in an interview published today.
Dungeons was announced at GDC 2008, where studio boss Dylan Cuthbert showed an early sketch alongside PixelJunk Eden. Since then, PixelJunk Shooter has released to critical acclaim.
PixelJunk Racers and Monsters director Rhod Broadbent explained that Shooter's development pulled the company away from Dungeons work.
"We have a lot of ideas going on at once and during GDC 2008 when we announced Dungeons, we were all really excited about that," he said.
"And we're still really excited about what we announced then and what we showed. But then Shooter came along and there was a huge rush of, 'Yeah! Shooter's what we're going to do now!'
"Which direction we go in next is not public knowledge, I'm afraid."
PixelJunk Shooter director Shouichi Tominaga cast yet more doubt on Dungeons ever making it out, seemingly saying future development in the series is still evolving.
"The more we make these PixelJunk games, the more we learn – the bigger our world gets," he added.
"So, in that way, you never really know what's coming next."
PixelJunk Shooter was released in December as a PS3 exclusive.
