Record Store Day has the uncanny ability to break both hearts and the bank, but try and tell that to the vinyl-obsessed patron inside of you. You've probably been gawking over that exclusive release list, scheming of the best way to get ahead of the masses on Saturday, April 20, while praying to God you'll be able to pick up that coveted Emerson, Lake & Palmer box set (bad example I know).
It's a big day for independent record stores across the country—hell, the biggest day. Thus, Portland's fine collection of stores have been working hard to bring the you the latest swag, band memorabilia and in-store performances to mark the special occasion. You might have to wake up at the crack of dawn and stand in line for a few hours to rake in the real gold—probably not that ELP reissue—but it will be OK. You're going to be totally jacked on free coffee and muffins.
Below is our weekly list of top selling albums from local record stores Music Millennium, Jackpot Records, Everyday Music and Beacon Sound, and the top streamed tracks in Portland on Rhapsody, for the previous week. Also included are all the local Record Store Day happenings around town sans the exclusive vinyl releases. The events may not be as vinylicious as Jack White's Third Man Record Booth, but Portland's annual spinning-wax celebration has more than enough to keep you busy.
Remember, sacrifices must be made so you can hear the difference.

|Program again meets state conservation goal
Six professional football stadium's worth of turf were removed within the Sonoma County Water Agency's service area last year, according to the Sonoma-Marin Saving Water Partnership's recently released annual report.
The Partnership represents 10 water utilities in Sonoma and Marin counties who have joined together to provide regional solutions for water-use efficiency and meet the State of California's goal of reducing per capita water use 20 percent by the year 2020 – also known as the SBx7-7 20x2020 goal.
The utilities include the Cities of Santa Rosa, Rohnert Park, Petaluma, Sonoma, Cotati; North Marin, Valley of the Moon and Marin Municipal Water Districts; Town of Windsor and Sonoma County Water Agency.
"The Sonoma-Marin Saving Water Partnership shows a regional commitment to water conservation by offering financial incentives to conserve and by educating water users about where drinking water comes from and how to use it most efficiently," said Water Agency Director and Sonoma County Supervisor Efren Carrillo. "The Partnership, through its many water efficiency programs, educational seminars and outreach campaigns, is working every day of the year to educate our communities about the importance of conserving water resources and curbing water-wasting behaviors."
Last year (Fiscal Year 2011-12), the utilities invested more than $1.5 million combined to fund water use efficiency programs that resulted in the region continuing to meet the regional 20x2020 goal of 129 gallons per capita per day (GPCD) by achieving a 113 GPCD. Funding for these programs come from a variety of sources, including utility ratepayers, non-governmental grants, and State initiative funding, such as Proposition 84 (the Safe Drinking Water, Water Quality and Supply, Flood Control, River and Coastal Protection Bond Act of 2006).

No AC in the middle of August...wouldn't stay here again unless it was for a ski trip
In town for only one night. Comfortable place to stay at a great location. The mountain lodge is getting a little long in the tooth. Still, can't beat the location. Not as many folks here in the summer, but Tom's Loft Tavern was a great place to grab a drink right across the street.

The hotel concierge waited for us to get there the first day. She was great!Will definitely come back

This is an old list from two weeks ago for Tennessee:
The 2013 session of the Tennessee General Assembly is off to a good
start with several pro-gun bills being introduced. Even though last
session ended on a sour note, your NRA-ILA is confident that we can take
many legislative steps this year to further protect the Second Amendment
rights of all law-abiding Tennesseans. The following pro-gun bills have
been introduced:
* House Bill 6 [3], sponsored by state Representative Eric Watson
(R-22), would allow K-12 school personnel to possess a firearm on school
property if the person has a handgun carry permit, is authorized by the
school superintendent, has had 40 hours of basic school policing
training and uses frangible bullets.
* House Bill 9 [4], sponsored by state Representative William
Lamberth (R-44), makes all information contained in and pertaining to a
handgun carry permit application or renewal application and the status
of a handgun carry permit confidential and not open for public
inspection. State Senator Ferrell Haile (R-18) has sponsored the Senate
companion bill, Senate Bill 108 [5].
* House Bill 10 [6], sponsored by state Representative Jeremy Faison
(R-11), prohibits the allocation of state or local public funds to the
regulation or enforcement of any federal law, executive order, rule or
regulation that becomes effective on or after January 1, 2013, that
imposes restrictions on citizens who lawfully possess or carry firearms
in Tennessee. Senate Bill 40 [7], the companion bill, is sponsored by
state Senator Frank Niceley (R-8).
* House Bill 108 [8], sponsored by state Representative Sheila Butt
(R-64), provides that a public or private employer cannot require an
applicant for employment or an employee to disclose information about
the ownership or storage of a firearm in the applicant or employee's
* House Bill 118 [9], sponsored by Representative Jeremy Faison
(R-11), allows those with a valid handgun carry permit to transport and
store a firearm or firearm ammunition in the permit holders
privately-owned motor vehicle in public or private parking areas under
certain conditions. Lt. Governor Ron Ramsey (R-4) has filed Senate Bill
142 [10], the companion bill to HB 118.
* Senate Bill 76 [11], sponsored by state Senator Stacey Campfield
(R-7), limits the number of handgun carry permit records that can be
reproduced in a single day to fifteen.
* Senate Bill 77 [12], also sponsored by Senator Campfield, allows
certain persons employed by a local education agency as a faculty or
staff member at a K-12 school to possess and carry a firearm.

These just passed the Judiciary Committee and go to the House floor next.
House Bill 240 allowing college students to bring guns on campus
(may not pass because it contradicts a charter we have with the colleges to govern themselves)
Allow high school students to leave guns locked in their cars
Clear the way for nearly anyone to carry concealed weapons without a permit.
(for this one the individual assumes responsibility for knowing if they qualify or disqualify under an official application)
HB 302 "Sheriffs first" bill says federal agents must get a sheriff's permission before making arrests or serving warrants – or risk local kidnapping or trespassing charges.
HB 303 Bar police from enforcing any federal bans on assault rifles or high-capacity clips.
A measure allowing the use of silencers [sic] while hunting big game, and removing the potential penalty of disturbing the peace for the discharge of a firearm.
The House is Republican controlled.
There is also a Senate Bill to make personal information on a concealed carry permit application confidential.
February 16, 2013, 04:54 AM
No clue as to where this one stands,
Subject: Right to Bear Arms Protection Act
February 16, 2013, 05:10 AM
NRA-supported Senate Bill 129, sponsored by state Senator Scott Beason (R-17) and cosponsored by state Senators Jimmy Holley (R-31), Bill Holtzclaw (R-2), Del Marsh (R-12), and Paul Sanford (R-7)
SB 129, omnibus firearms reform legislation, seeks to restore and protect the rights of law-abiding gun owners in Alabama by addressing the following issues:
No employer may prohibit the otherwise lawful possession, transportation or storage of firearms or ammunition that is kept out of sight within the locked or attended private means of conveyance of an invitee who is otherwise permitted to operate or park the conveyance on the property.
Removes the requirement to obtain a pistol permit to carry a pistol in a vehicle.
Shifts the current May Issue concealed carry permitting system to a Shall Issue permitting system and requires that a Sheriff must issue the permit within thirty days, as long as the person applying for the permit is not prohibited by federal law.
The permit to carry a concealed pistol shall be good for one to five years (decided on by the person seeking the permit to carry).
States that sheriffs shall use the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) to run a background check on a concealed pistol permit applicant.
Allows for all other valid state-issued permits to carry a concealed firearm to be recognized in Alabama. Strengthens Alabamas current firearms preemption by giving the state legislature complete control over regulation and policy pertaining to firearms, ammunition, and firearm accessories in order to ensure that such regulation and policy is applied uniformly throughout the state.
February 16, 2013, 08:09 AM
SB 36 was just introduced this week so other than being assigned to committee, nothing has or will happen for a while.
Section 1. That sections 5502.23 and 5502.231 of the Revised Code be enacted to read as follows:
Sec. 5502.23. (A) Except as provided in division (B) of this section, no agency, or employee or agent of an agency, shall seize or authorize the seizure of any firearm from any person who is lawfully in possession or control of a firearm.
(B)(1) A law enforcement officer who is acting in the lawful discharge of the officer's duties may seize a firearm in the possession, or under the control, of any person if the law enforcement officer reasonably believes the immediate seizure of the firearm is necessary for the safety of the law enforcement officer or another individual. The law enforcement officer shall return the firearm to the person from whom it was seized if the person is not arrested, the firearm is not seized under division (B)(2) of this section, and the reason for the seizure of the firearm no longer exists.
(2) A law enforcement officer who is acting in the lawful discharge of the officer's duties may seize a firearm when the seizure is necessary to preserve the firearm as evidence, or for the investigation, of a criminal offense.
(C) As used in this section, "firearm" has the same meaning as in section 2923.11 of the Revised Code.
Sec. 5502.231. (A) No law enforcement officer, federal law enforcement officer, international agent, or other person shall enforce or attempt to enforce a firearm registration requirement or firearm ban in any statute or rule of this state or the United States or any ordinance, resolution, or rule of a political subdivision, unless the registration requirement or ban is in effect prior to the effective date of this section.
(B) No political subdivision shall enact or adopt any ordinance, resolution, or rule that requires a person to register a firearm or establishes a firearm registry.
(C) Whoever violates division (A) of this section is guilty of unlawful enforcement of a firearm registration requirement or firearm ban, a felony of the first degree.
(D) As used in this section:
(1) "Federal law enforcement officer" has the same meaning as in section 2921.51 of the Revised Code.
(2) "Firearm" has the same meaning as in section 2923.11 of the Revised Code.
(3) "Firearm ban" means any ban or prohibition on a person's possession of a firearm that is not based on the status or condition of the person or limited to the possession of a firearm in a school safety zone, courthouse, or other designated location.
(4) "Political subdivision" has the same meaning as in section 2921.421 of the Revised Code.

Volume theme: Environmental anthropology
The Boletín de Antropología, published by the Universidad de Antioquia, is soliciting articles for its volume number 48 which will be published in the second semester of 2014. For this volume we are looking for articles related to the field of environmental anthropology that are the result of research projects, state of art studies, or bibliographic reviews. This could include such topics as: ethno-sciences that concern the knowledge, beliefs and practices that ethnic groups or local communities hold regarding their natural environment; studies about conflict between property rights and the use of natural resources; reflections regarding the relationships between environmental authorities and ethnic groups in protected areas; analysis of social and environmental impacts of megaprojects; studies about the vulnerability of rural populations and their adaptations to climate change; evaluations of experiences in risk and disaster management that explicitly incorporate anthropological perspectives. We are also interested in archeological research that emphasizes processes of the appropriation and transformation of nature and their impact of social life, and studies that include within their analysis paleo-ecological approaches.
The Boletín de Antropología publishes original articles in English, French Portuguese and Spanish. It prefers articles that have not been published in any other format—print or electronic. In the latter case, preliminary versions distributed in electronic format for open discussion would be considered published. The editorial committee should be informed of any rewritten or actualized text that has been published elsewhere, and the text should include a footnote explaining what is new or different from the original published text.
Manuscripts should be sent no later than July 7th, 2014 to the email address:email@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com. The length of the text should be between 7.000 and 10.000 words, double space, and a font size of 12 in Times New Roman. Authors should send two versions of the manuscript. The first should include: the complete names of the author or authors, their institutional affiliations and emails. The second should eliminate these references and any other reference in the text that could indicate to the evaluators who the authors are. The second text should be marked as the text for evaluation. All of the articles must include, in both English and Spanish, the title, key words and an abstract with a maximum of 100 words.

Seniors on the go
Day trips prove popular
June 8, 2012
Tribune Chronicle | TribToday.com,
Growing older doesn't mean that senior citizens need to curtail their travel plans. Today's seniors are more likely to plan their day trips around socializing with their friends and, perhaps, trying their luck at some games of chance. Day trips for seniors are popular and can go anywhere from a scenic destination to a casino jaunt without the hassle of packing a suitcase, and then return home to sleep in their own beds. Judy Fabian, co-manager of Niles SCOPE Senior Center, plans day trips and some overnight stays for Trumbull County senior citizens. Raymond Novotny, her co-manager, plans the casino trips. "We went to Das Dutch Haus Dinner Theater, the 'Doo Wops and Beauty Shops' last month," Fabian said. "We're going to Sugarcreek on June 21." That trip includes dinner at an Amish farm, shopping at Baltic Mills and a winery, among other stops. "We do casino trips about once a month except for the bad winter months," Fabian said. "They probably would fill in January and February if we sold them, but we just don't do that.You just never know about the weather, and you don't want to put them at risk. " Most trips run 45 minutes to two hours in drive time to reach a destination. A frequent traveler on the Niles SCOPE bus trips, Josephine Marrara's participation has changed over the years. "We used to go to all of them when my husband was living," she said. Despite some health problems, she still partakes of the SCOPE day trips but just the monthly casino excursions. "I like the company of all our friends," Marrara said. "It's like a big family. We have mostly all the same people that go." Her friend Theresa Lorenzetti also enjoys the day trips. "I do strictly the casinos," Lorenzetti said. "I prefer Mountaineer, even if I don't win. Some of the others are such long trips." Lisa Wire, office manager for Fidelity Carnation U.S. Coach Tour's location in Boardman, said that her senior clientele is very loyal. "My Mountaineer trip fills up every Wednesday at least two weeks in advance," she said. "I have 22 people that go to Mountaineer Casino every week, the whole entire year. Ninety-nine percent of my people for casino day trips are seniors." Travel agencies and bus coach tours have realized the profitability of these day trips and the ever-growing senior citizen market willing to fill the seats. Some of the trips offered by AAA Travel and Anderson Coach and Travel include visits to Niagara Falls and Ontario, covered bridge tours, a Three Rivers cruise in Pittsburgh and Amish Ohio tours. Getting to a destination by motor coach offers the best of both worlds — seniors can hang out with their friends, enjoy a trip to someplace fun and leave the driving to someone else. With the opening of the Horseshoe Casino in Cleveland, Niles SCOPE already has an August day trip booked there. "They get food and play," Fabian said, explaining the popularity of the casino day trips. "They usually get between $20 and $25 of free gaming and food. We only charge $20. So they are pretty much going for free, if you look at it that way. We just have to cover our costs." If seniors are not gambling, the sites often offer good food, scenic areas or an opportunity to just people-watch. "It's relaxing and you don't have to drive," Lorenzetti said. "It's a fun day out. I love to eat at the restaurants. Also, the Rivers (Casino in Pittsburgh) has a good buffet." "It's better than staying home," Marrara said. "We play bingo (on the bus), and before you know it, we're there. When you get my age — I'm going to be 86 — I try to keep going. I'm on a walker. You have to keep going because if you let yourself stay in the house all day, it's bad." "It's a safe day for them," Fabian said. "They can count on us to get them there and get them back safely. It's a nice outing for them."

I will keep leading to move Millcreek forward
My Democratic opponent, John Groh, in his Oct. 17 Guest Voice column criticized some of the current Millcreek Township board of supervisor philosophies regarding township operations ("Planning should be Millcreek's priority"). Everyone is entitled to his or her opinion. However for an opinion to have merit, it should have at least a little basis in fact.
My opponent referred to a "shrinking police department." In fact, when I took office in 1996, Millcreek's population was about 49,000 residents, and its police department had 53 officers. Today, Millcreek's population is about 54,000, a 10 percent increase, while the police department boasts 60 officers, a 14 percent increase.
He also mentions "a reduction in infrastructure," yet during my time as supervisor, we have improved about 50 percent of the 56 miles of former tar-and-chip roads by making them asphalt streets. Miles of public sewer and water lines have been constructed. Now only small pockets of the township are still serviced by septic systems or private water wells, improving the environment and residents' health. Our public parks system has grown tremendously, preserving the green space so vital to our community. After many years of planning, we now provide senior citizens with the new J.O.Y. Center.
Having been in office and having a record to run on allows for criticism from those looking to replace you. I am proud of my record and welcome scrutiny, as long as it is justified. Criticizing the fact that the township balances its budget without the need for a tax increase hardly seems logical to me. We watch our spending very closely, typically ending the year with a surplus, then use the surplus to avoid the need to raise taxes (which we haven't done in 10 years). Would Groh prefer we raise taxes each year?
Millcreek's growth has been in population, commercial and retail development, and public recreation space, but not in the size of government. We continue to provide high-quality services by becoming more efficient, not by hiring more employees.
Having a national publication rate Millcreek as a top place to live is nice, but then we already knew that. It's you, the residents of Millcreek Township, who make it great. I appreciate the faith that you have shown in me over the years. I believe I have provided the leadership necessary to move Millcreek forward and hope that I am able to continue to do so.
JOE KUJAWA, a Republican, is seeking his fifth term as Millcreek Township supervisor.

Tyler, The Creator Handcuffed at Los Angeles High School
Odd Future's controversial frontman Tyler, The Creator was detained by Los Angeles police on Tuesday (May 10), while signing autographs at Westchester High School, and promoting the release of his XL Recordings debut 'Goblin.'
The 20-year-old rapper had organized promotional teams at Fairfax, Pacific Palisades and Westchester High Schools, to sell 'Goblin,' released earlier this week, and limited edition Odd Future merchandise.
"Its Mexicans Outside Of Fairfax; Palisades; Westchester Selling GOBLIN; Oranges; An Exclusive Tee And You Can Get A Wristband For The Show," Tyler tweeted before police arrived.
Tyler then posted photos of police putting him in handcuffs, and confiscating his merchandise from the crowd. Though it was not clear what offense Tyler had been cuffed for, he quickly updated his Twitter followers that he had not been arrested, merely detained for disturbing the peace and loitering. "And F— Those Cops. Had Us In Cuffs For No Reason, Didn't Do S—. "Disturbing The Peace, Loitering And Skating Pass A Cop" What The F—?"
Tyler also had some harsh words for the LAPD. "I Swear To Atheist God Tho, F— COPS. I'm Moshing Tonight. F— Cops F— Cops #GOBLIN. F— POLICE F— YOU ALL I HOPE YOU ALL DIE."
Odd Future went on to perform a secret record release party at the Troubadour in West Hollywood later that night.
The group has upcoming dates in Boston on May 12, New York City on May 13, Detroit on May 16 and Washington, D.C. on May 18.

Campaign for Working Families PAC
The Campaign for Working Families (CWF) is a political action committee founded by Religious Right activist Gary Bauer to support like-minded candidates. Like the Club for Growth, CWF is known for supporting "pro-family" candidates over more mainstream Republican candidates in GOP primaries. In 1998, it was the fifth largest national PAC.
Campaign for Working Families
2800 Shirlington Road - Suite 605
Arlington, VA 22206

Read the latest news on the Campaign for Working Families PAC on the group's Right Wing Watch index page
Principal Issues
- CWF's motto: "Unapologetically pro-family, pro-life, and pro-growth." CWF says that it "takes the guesswork out of identifying the true conservatives from the pretenders."
- CWF often supports right-wing Republican candidates over moderate Republicans and CWF has waged many aggressive campaigns against those candidates.
- CWF supports state ballot measures that reject gay and lesbian civil rights or those that increase restrictions on access to abortion.
- CWF endorses and financially supports anti-choice, anti-gay candidates for political office, such as Alan Keyes.
- In 2004, CWF's most recent endorsements included:

CWF's Activities:
- During the 2004 election cycle, the Campaign for Working Families spent $244,000.00 endorsing Republican candidates, such as the candidates listed above. Tom Tancredo in Colorado received $2,500, Mel Martinez of Florida $8,000, Alan Keyes in Illinois $5,000, Tom Coburn in Oklahoma $8,000, and Tom DeLay in Texas, $5,000. [PoliticalMoneyLine]
- During the 2002 election cycle CWF contributed $200,988 in campaign donations, endorsing Scott Garett for New Jersey with $7,000, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina with $7,000, John Thune of South Dakota with $10,000, and James Talent of Missouri with $10,000. [PoliticalMoneyLine]
- In 2002 CWF was ranked number 21 out of the Top 50 'Nonconnected' PAC's by Receipts, having totaled $953,881 in contributions. [source]
- In 2000 election cycle CWF endorsed 121 candidates and 83% of which were elected. In 2000, over 50% of incoming freshmen Republican members of the 107th Congress were endorsed by CWF.
- In the 2000 election cycle, CWF spent tens of thousands of dollars on a 12-state "Get-Out-The-Vote" effort on behalf of Republican candidates.
- In 2000, CWF endorsed such right-wing stalwarts such as: John Ashcroft, Trent Lott, Tom DeLay, Dick Armey, Rick Santorum, Bob Barr, Tom Tancredo, Ernest Istook, and Judge Roy Moore. Of their 113 nominees for the U.S. House and Senate, 3 are Democrats and 1 Independent.
- In 1998 election cycle, CWF supported over 200 candidates and 64% of CWF's endorsees were elected.
- CWF keeps profiles on legislation and politicians and provides information for campaigns.
- CWF has supported successful "Defense of Marriage" state ballot initiatives in Alaska, California, Nebraska, Nevada, and Hawaii.
- In 1996 and 1997 Bauer put CWF on the map by taking big risks and rejecting Republican leadership pressure. In 1998 in California there was a special election due to the death of Rep. Walter Capps (CA-D). The GOP leadership had tapped a moderate Republican candidate, Rep. Brooks Firestone, and CWF supported a more conservative candidate, Tom Bordonaro. CWF led an expensive, controversial advertising attack campaign against Firestone and was credited with helping Bordonaro win the runoff. Bordonaro ultimately lost the seat to Capps' widow.
- By 1998 CWF became the 5th largest PAC in the country, raising over $7 million in just two years.
- Early in CWF's history right-wing heavyweight James Dobson lent his support to the group, sending out mass mailings to 350,000 members of his organization Focus on the Family.

"The great thing about being part of the Simpson family is that they're really welcoming – you feel right at home right away," Wentz, who is married to Ashlee Simpson-Wentz, told PEOPLE at the CIROC New Year's Eve party at the Hard Rock Hotel in Chicago where he celebrated 2011 with his wife.
"Jessica's been a great sister [to me] and the Simpson family has been a great support system for me and Ashlee and [son] Bronx," says Wentz. "They're my home away from home on the West Coast. It's really easy and natural to transition into the family."
How does is Johnson fitting in so far? "Pretty easily, I think," said Wentz. "I only know him from being around Jessica and I know he makes Jessica really happy so that's the best thing in the world."
Keeping Romance AliveEven though Wentz is no longer a newlywed, he doesn't have a problem with keeping the spark going with Ashlee. "The great thing about Ashlee is that she finds the romantic moments for me in everything," he says. "We'll be on the plane and she'll remember that this is the anniversary of our first flight together. She can always find the romantic side of everything. We're best friends so it's just really easy."
As for Wentz's New Year's resolutions, he has a different approach to 2011. "I always make New Year's resolutions and then they're stupid and don't happen," he said. "But my goal this year is to travel places I haven't been to before. And I think just striving to be a better person. Being a dad, I care about the next generation and what the world's going to be like for [my son]."

Okay, tried the kombucha a few wks ago, totally grossed out- couldn't handle it.... Do you recommend any brands specifically? Oh and Id like to Buy fermented veggies and kraut. Recs?
You're awesome. Thanks drumroll
Almost any fruit of vegetable can be fermented, people have fermented organ meats, even tea can be fermented. We call that one kombucha. It gets all wonderfully fizzy...
Come on over, I'll give you a taste of my veggies, you can see if you like 'em!

You're awesome. Thanks drumroll
However, I would not recommend you buy the cheap sauerkraut and pickles sold at the store and expect them to do much. They've been kept in vinegar solutions for so long that most of their benefits have probably been eliminated. Oh, they might have some residual benefits, but you'd be better to find a local, fresh source. Look at local farmer's markets or find a local company and visit them directly.
Or, as I suggested before, you can make your own.
Ok! I went out and bought some kombucha after the gym this am. Horrible at first, but it grew on me. Drank about half, I'll save the rest for tmrw. it was the wholefoods version, so probably not the best, but better than nothing. How much do u drink drumroll?
The fermenting of veggies really isn't too complicated. I'm surprised haha. I think I may have found my next challenge!
This is the book I started fermenting with Amazon.com: Wild Fermentation: The Flavor, Nutrition, and Craft of Live-Culture Foods (9781931498234): Sandor Ellix Katz, Sally Fallon: Books. Lots of easy starter ferments in there. He has another called "The Art of Fermentation", but it is quite a bit heavier in other areas....not so much a starter recipe guide. This is the first one I did http://www.wildfermentation.com/making-sauerkraut-2/. I never liked sauerkraut till I made my own.
A friend of mine in college used to make it, and he'd let it sit to the point that almost all of the sugar had been consumed by the bacteria. That stuff was STRONG. But that's a great thing first thing in the morning because it REALLY wakes you up! Yum!
Fermenting veggies is easy. The only reason I don't do it is because my roommate would probably complain about the stench of the process. He complains every time I even pull out the ones I buy at the farmer's market.

But yeah, you should get it it and give it a try at the very least. I remember from one topic that this board gave the game an 80-something % approval rating so most people here do like it, you may too.
Read a Nuzlocke by me and a friend at: http://blue-heracross.deviantart.com/
Posting to say I'm sold. Going to place an order for it right now. It's kind of funny since I don't even have a 3DS yet, but I figure since this is likely going to become very hard to find soon it would be better to have it in its wrapping collecting dust on a shelf for a few months rather than buy a 3DS in said few months and find I can't get it.
Anyway, thanks all for the informative replies.

You should enjoy it, I thought it was really good (PS2). It's a pretty long game and there is a lot of replay value with the new game plus options if you really enjoy it. I thought the story and characters were good (not great but not bad either), but the character interaction is what really shines(besides the gameplay) in the Tales games that I played.

I would definitely say it's worth picking up; it's not only my favorite 3DS game, but my favorite PS2 game as well.
Very well put.
I enjoyed my back to back runs through this game and had started on a third until I picked up FE:A, EO IV and Castlevania.
Definitely in my top 5 current favorites on the 3DS.

I found the story to be interesting but the amount of dialog to be tedious. I wish the rest of the game was more like the last 5 hours. More boss battles, more exploration and less back-tracking through the same cities over and over.
I found the fighting system to be a little too easy. Could pretty much mash the buttons, no learn the magic system and beat the game.
Personally, I enjoyed KH3D more and think that Fire Emblem would be a better buy based on how much of it I have played thus far.

Its a good RPG. What I don't like is the last chunk of the game keeps going on circles and repeating the same things over and over I just want the characters to shut up and end it already. Tedious towards the end, but overall a fun ride.

1948-1971 Vintage Major League Flannel Jersey Collection (8)
Starting Bid - $800.00, Sold For - $7,050.00
Vintage Major League flannel jerseys displaying no alterations, while desired by collectors today, are actually the exception rather than the rule. Unfortunately, years ago equipment managers did not look upon jerseys as future collectibles and often strove to extract as much use possible out of them. That often meant, among other things, changing numbers, patching tears, and replacing names. Finally, when their Major League use had come to an end, the jerseys were normally sent down to the minors to be used by one of the club's farm teams, where they often suffered further alterations (including the removal of the original tagging) before being discarded. Such was the life of a Major League uniform. Offered here a number of former Major League flannel jerseys that fall into the category of "well worn." The one thing they all have in common is the fact that they once resided in the Barry Halper Collection. When it came to jerseys, Barry understood their normal life cycle and never placed great emphasis on condition. However, since we realize the market has since changed for jerseys such as these, especially considering modern grading standards, we have decided to follow Branch Rickey's axiom that there must be "quality in quantity" and so offer them as one lot. Because of the nature of the jerseys in this collection, for most we will simply make note of the year, player, and team (if known), along with their MEARS grade. For those bidders desiring further details, copies of the individual MEARS letters for each jersey are available. One last note. One of Barry's goals was, whenever possible, to have every jersey in his collection signed by the respective player. Unfortunately, at the time he was collecting there had not yet been a systematic and comprehensive study of Major League uniform styles. Thus, without the aid of any reliable reference works, while getting some 1,000 jerseys signed over the course of many years, he sometimes mistakenly had players sign jerseys they never actually wore, but which appeared to be the correct year and style for that player. Most of the jerseys here fall into that category. 1) 1948 Chuck Dressen New York Yankees home flannel jersey. This jersey was later sent down for use by the Newark Bears, at which time the "NY" on the front was replaced by an "N." Graded A4 by MEARS. 2) 1952 Boston Braves road flannel jersey (no positive player identification). Signed by Eddie Mathews in blue Sharpie (grading "9") in the collar (never worn by Mathews). Graded A4 by MEARS. 3) 1960 St. Louis Cardinals road flannel jersey (no positive player identification). Signed by Harry Walker in blue Sharpie (grading "8") in the collar. Graded A4 by MEARS. 4) Circa 1960s/early 1970s New York Giants home flannel jersey (exact year and player unknown). Signed by Johnny Mize in blue Sharpie (grading "7") in the collar (never worn by him). Graded A4 by MEARS. 5) 1963 Al Worthington Cincinnati Reds road flannel jersey. Inscribed "Good Luck Pete Rose" in black marker ("8") on the front (never worn by him). Graded A3 by MEARS. 6) 1966 St. Louis Cardinals home flannel jersey worn by Ron Davis in 1968. Graded A7.5 by MEARS. 7) 1969 Bill White St. Louis Cardinals home jersey. Signed by Bill White in blue Sharpie (grading "8/9") in the collar. Graded A3 by MEARS. 8) Circa 1967-71 San Francisco Giants road flannel jersey (no exact year or player identification). Signed by Hank Sauer in blue Sharpie (grading "9") in the collar (never worn by him). Graded A4 by MEARS. LOAs from Dave Bushing & Troy Kinunen/MEARS and James Spence/JSA. Total 8 jerseys. Reserve $800. Estimate (open). SOLD FOR $7,050.00

Boeing Co. this week is rolling out its first North Charleston-assembled 787 jet. As if on cue, South Carolina last week rolled out a new plan to give its aerospace industry a lift.
Flight planner
Charlie Farrell last week was named director of the state Commerce Department's new aerospace task force. Farrell is a banking and finance graduate of the University of South Carolina with extensive military and private-sector experience. He flew more than 3,000 hours as a fighter pilot for the Marine Corps and Air National Guard and owned two commercial printing companies before switching to a career in professional development training. His clients have included General Electric, 3M, Mayo Clinic, the Federal Reserve Bank, Ocean Spray and Michelin.He also has published two books and has been an adjunct faculty member at USC's Moore School of Business since 1992.Farrell will direct what will likely be a nine-person task force that will develop a formal aerospace strategy for the state over the next 18 months to two years. Members will be reimbursed for travel expenses but won't be paid, said state Deputy Commerce Secretary George Patrick."We're going to do this on a shoestring," he said Farrell will be paid as director. He will earn $30,000 a year for up to three years"He's not going to get rich off of this," Patrick said.John P. McDermott
Here's hoping for a successful takeoff.
Ahead of the eagerly awaited Dreamliner debut Friday off International Boulevard, Commerce Department chief Bobby Hitt has announced the creation of an aerospace task force. He appointed former Marine fighter pilot and businessman Charlie Farrell as his main wingman.
South Carolina isn't a big aviation hub, but it's squarely in the game nonetheless. The Palmetto State is home to more than 180 aerospace manufacturers and suppliers that cut paychecks to more than 20,000 workers. They include blue-chip names such as General Electric and Lockheed Martin, both in the Upstate, as well as lesser-known players, such as Venture Aerobearings in North Charleston.
Suddenly, it lands a certain Fortune 500 company based in Chicago and known historically for delivering shiny new jetliners from the Pacific Northwest.
Until now, that is.Farrell called Boeing "our grand slam."
"Boeing coming here gives us a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and we want to take advantage of that," added state Deputy Commerce Secretary George Patrick, who's been working on an aerospace task force idea for about a year, starting weeks after his boss took office.
Patrick acknowledged that's too long for his taste, but he vowed the group will move rapidly, at least as government task forces go. Hitt has the legal authority to appoint up to nine experts "to advise him on specific matters of economic development, of which this is certainly one," Patrick said.
The selection process is under way. The first meeting will likely be held within the next four to six weeks.
"The charge is that in 18 months and no more than two years ... we want to have in place with the advice and input of this group a strategic plan that is executable, not something to be put on the shelf, that will help us leverage Boeing and other industry and assets in the state to make aerospace a bigger deal than it already is in South Carolina," Patrick said Thursday.
BMW model
New suppliers that serve the Dreamliner campus directly are an obvious target. But the task force also plans to explore how South Carolina can capitalize on Boeing's use of high-strength, lightweight plastic composites throughout the 787 airframe.
"The composite industry has applications in aerospace, in defense-related activities, almost anything," Patrick said.
Even the state's growing tire-making industry could be leveraged, he added.
Hitt is working off a playbook he knows well, as he seeks to replicate the so-called BMW effect with Boeing. Before he took on the role of state top industry hunter, the onetime newspaper editor was a longtime executive and spokesman for the German automaker's Upstate plant.
"BMW has grown from a one assembly line operation some 19 years ago to where we are today, not only with BMW itself but with all the suppliers that have come with it," Patrick said.
The Greer auto plant has since expanded numerous times and does business with vendors in 14 counties. BMW's economic punch extends to the coast as a major customer of the Port of Charleston. "So if you use that as model for South Carolina, we think the Boeing presence has potential to drive the same sort of growth in the aerospace sector," Patrick said.
Anchor tenant
The task force plan didn't come out of the clear blue.
Patrick said he and Hitt began talking about building up the aerospace business a year ago this past March. They sought out advice from retired Gen. Michael "Buzz" Moseley, a former F-15 fighter pilot and the 18th chief of staff of the Air Force.
Now a Sumter resident, Moseley previously had worked as a consultant on a similar aerospace strategy with the governor of Arizona.
Another early player was former Commerce staffer Hank Taylor, now a vice president at the Charleston Regional Development Alliance and a retired Air Force brigadier general.
Executives from the business world were called to Columbia for their input.
"Boeing was certainly at the table," Patrick said.
As it should have been, and should be going forward. Boeing South Carolina's expertise is manufacturing world-class 787 airplanes. But in this instance, it's the locomotive that's pulling the train that is the state's aerospace business.
Patrick put it in retail terms.
"When you build a shopping mall, the first thing you want is an anchor tenant, and then a lot of other good things can happen with other anchor tenants," he said. "Boeing is what I'd consider an anchor tenant in the aerospace industry."

Y2K concerns arise
READY FOR MILLENNIUM: As 1999 drew to a close, Erie and the rest of the world cautiously watched the hype build for the Y2K problem, an issue in computer systems that recognized the year as a two-digit number. The Erie County Year 2000 Task Force, a volunteer group formed under Mayor Joyce Savocchio's sponsorship, spent much of 1999 preparing Erie County for problems that might arise. The group launched a series of meetings and programs to promote emergency preparedness. Water flew off the shelves at area grocery stores, with one local Giant Eagle reporting an uptick in Spam sales. Generators sold briskly at Sears, in addition to batteries and flashlights, the Erie Daily Times reported. Most stores anticipated the rush and ordered extra supplies. The U.S. spent more than $100 billion to update computer systems. Ultimately, Y2K amounted to little more than nothing.
ALSO IN 1999: The Erie SeaWolves joined the Class AA Eastern League. ... A grand jury indicted state Rep. Tracy Seyfert, R-Fairview, on charges that she illegally obtained surplus federal government property. She resigned in 2000 and pleaded guilty to a felony and misdemeanor. ... The first segment of the eastside access highway opened.

Speaking in Brussels today, President Obama dismissed the notion that America's intervention in Iraq was morally equivalent to Russia's invasion of Crimea. As the Washington Post's Aaron Blake reports, after noting he opposed the intervention, Obama added:
[E]ven in Iraq, America sought to work within the international system. We did not claim or annex Iraq's territory, nor did we grab its resources for our own gain. Instead, we ended our war and left Iraq to its people and a fully sovereign Iraqi state could make decisions about its own future.
Good for Obama. It's about time he pushed back against this sophistry.
And speaking of pushing, this reminds me of something William F. Buckley said to Johnny Carson:
To say that the CIA and the KGB engage in similar practices is the equivalent of saying that the man who pushes an old lady into the path of a hurtling bus is not to be distinguished from the man who pushes an old lady out of the path of a hurtling bus: on the grounds that, after all, in both cases someone is pushing old ladies around.
All these years later, and it's almost like déjà vu. Matt K. Lewis
This stunning front page of the San Diego Union-Tribune is a powerful depiction of America today
The front page of Thursday's San Diego Union-Tribune is a powerful testament to the United States we live in now:
(San Diego Union-Tribune/Kiosko.net)
The front page photograph, taken by the Union Tribune's Hayne Palmour IV, captures protester Ebonay Lee as she "holds up her fist toward a line of Sheriff's deputies as she and other people protesting Tuesday's police shooting of a black man confront the deputies under the Highway 67 bridge on Broadway in El Cajon on Wednesday." Alfred Olango, an unarmed, mentally ill black man, was fatally shot by police in El Cajon on Tuesday afternoon, sparking two nights of protests. Olango's death comes on the heels of the police shootings of two other black men in separate incidents in Oklahoma and North Carolina this month.

Stephen Colbert began his Late Show monologue on Wednesday with another look at Monday night's debate, focusing on Donald Trump's spat with ex-Miss Universe Alicia Machado and continued insistence he won despite the evidence, and ended it with a look at a British sperm-bank app. But he spent the middle part on Elon Musk's newly unveiled plan to transport humans to Mars by 2022 — or "halfway through Mike Pence's second term," Colbert joked, since President Trump would quit on Day 3 — at a cost of $10 billion a head.
"Finally, a plan to shoot billionaires into space," Colbert said. "I believe we have gotten a photo of the project managers," he added, throwing to a photo of Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders in lab coats by a rocket. "The question is, why would it be $10 billion?" Colbert asked. "Where have I heard that number before? Wait a second, how much does Donald Trump say he has?" You know that answer. "Aha! Elon Musk wants Donald Trump off the planet!" Colbert said. "I tell you what, if Donald won't pony up, I say we pass around the hat — maybe this one?" And hey, MMGA has a certain ring to it? Watch below. Peter Weber
Multiple managers and directors at California's Trump National Golf Club in Rancho Palos Verdes complained under oath that they were pressured to fire overweight women and only hire attractive employees, The Los Angeles Times reports. "I had witnessed Donald Trump tell managers many times while he was visiting the club that restaurant hostesses were 'not pretty enough' and that they should be fired and replaced with more attractive women," said the former director of catering at the club, Hayley Strozier, in a 2008 court filing.
In an effort to please Trump, Strozier recalled that managers would only have their most attractive women working when the big boss showed up at the club.
"Donald Trump always wanted good looking women working at the club," agreed former restaurant manager Sue Kwiatkowski in a 2009 court declaration. "I know this because one time he took me aside and said, 'I want you to get some good looking hostesses here. People like to see good looking people when they come in.'"
It was hardly a one-time occurrence, The Los Angeles Times reports:
Strozier, the former catering director, said Vincent Stellio — a former Trump bodyguard who had risen to become a Trump Organization vice president — approached her in 2003 about an employee that Strozier thought was talented.
Stellio wanted the employee fired because she was overweight, Strozier said in her legal filing.
"Mr. Stellio told me to do this because 'Mr. Trump doesn't like fat people' and that he would not like seeing [the employee] when he was on the premises," wrote Strozier, who said she refused the request. (Stellio died in 2010.) [The Los Angeles Times]
There are many other examples, as The Los Angeles Times reports — and they come at a sensitive time, as Trump's comments about women have come under particular scrutiny in the wake of revelations about his treatment of a former Miss Universe. Read The Los Angeles Times' full story, here. Jeva Lange
There is little doubt in the U.S. intelligence community that Russia was behind the Democratic National Committee hacks, although Russia has denied such allegations. Republican nominee Donald Trump has also dismissed any certainty that Russia was trying to toggle with the U.S. election: "I don't think anybody knows it was Russia that broke into the DNC," he said at the presidential debate Monday. "[Clinton is] saying Russia, Russia, Russia, but I don't — maybe it was. I mean, it could be Russia, but it could also be China. It could also be lots of other people. It also could be somebody sitting on their bed that weighs 400 pounds, OK?"
It is a curious deflection, especially since Trump might know even more about the hack than he is letting on:
[The] U.S. intelligence community has "high confidence" that Russian intelligence services were in fact responsible, multiple intelligence and national security officials tell Time. Trump was informed of that assessment during a recent classified intelligence briefing, a U.S. official familiar with the matter tells Time. "I do not comment on information I receive in intelligence briefings, however, nobody knows with definitive certainty that this was in fact Russia," Trump told Time in a statement. "It may be, but it may also be China, another country or individual." [Time]
President Barack Obama, for his part, has not been shy about sharing that he believes Russia is behind the cyberattack. "Experts have attributed this to the Russians," he said without any uncertainty or disclaimers in July.

"Are there any fans of big banks tonight?" Stephen Colbert asked on Wednesday's Late Show. "All right," he said when the crowd remained silent, "then this is the story for you." The story was the massive fraud at Wells Fargo, where employees were pressured to open up to 2 million accounts without informing the customers. "That's right," Colbert said, "not even a customary form letter that said 'Congratulations! You are pre-approved to get totally screwed!'"
CEO John Stumpf "stepped up and took personal responsibility by firing 5,300 low-level employees he blamed for the problem," Colbert said with mock solemnity. "It takes true leadership to stand up and say the buck stops 5,300 other places." Stumpf made $200 million as his bank ruined thousands of credit ratings, he added, so "I think I speak for a lot of people when I say: Go Stumpf yourself." Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) essentially did that when she "dragged Stumpf in front of the Senate and tore him a new Stumpf-hole," Colbert said.
After ripping the CEO a Stumpf-hole of his own, Colbert rolled his eyes over the $41 million Stumpf will forfeit in stock and the ouster of retail banking head Carrie Tolstedt — months before her planned retirement — and said if you're worried about Stumpf and Tolstedt (nobody was), fear not: She will likely walk away with $77 million in stock options, and him, $200 million in cash. "That's how you teach white collar crime doesn't pay," Colbert said. "It's like when a cop catches a burglar in the act of robbing your house and says, 'Put down that TV, buddy, now here's $200 million.'" Watch below. Peter Weber
President Obama answered questions from a military audience Wednesday night in a town hall in Fort Lee, Virginia, hosted by CNN and moderated by Jake Tapper. The audience — military veterans, families, and service members — asked searing, often personal questions, and Obama did his best to answer them. The questions ranged from delays at Veterans Administration hospitals to PTSD stigmatization to why Obama doesn't use the term "radical Islamic terrorism" to what he thinks about 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick not standing for the national anthem before games, plus broader questions about U.S. military involvement in Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan.
Obama said the critique of him not using "radical Islamic terrorist" is a "sort of manufactured" issue, and not helpful. "These are people who've killed children, killed Muslims, take sex slaves, there's no religious rational that would justify in any way any of the things that they do," he said. "When you start calling these organizations Islamic terrorists, the way it is heard, the way it is received by our friends and allies around the world, is that somehow Islam is terroristic.... If you had an organization that was going around killing and blowing people up and said, 'We're on the vanguard of Christianity,' as a Christian, I'm not going to let them claim my religion and say, 'you're killing for Christ.' I would say, that's ridiculous.... Call these folks what they are, which is killers and terrorists."
At another point, Obama told Tapper, "There hasn't been probably a week that has gone by in which I haven't examined some of the underlying premises around how we are dealing with this situation in Syria." As "heartbreaking" as it is to watch the carnage, he added, "there is not a scenario in which, absent us deploying large numbers of troops, we can stop a civil war in which both sides are deeply dug in." When an audience member asked Obama what he would do if daughters Sasha and Malia wanted to enlist in the armed forces, Obama replied, "I'd say, go for it," though he would "be lying if I said I wouldn't sometimes get nervous about possible deployments. Your kids are your kids and you want to keep them tucked in in their pajamas for the rest of your lives if you had the chance." You can watch a 2-minute recap of the town hall below. Peter Weber
On Wednesday's Kelly File, Megyn Kelly aired an unbroadcast clip of her Tuesday interview with former Miss Universe Alicia Machado, whom Hillary Clinton name-checked during Monday's debate and Donald Trump keeps calling fat. "You tell me whether this is good or bad that here we are on Wednesday and the country's still talking about it," Kelly asked Dana Perino, former White House press secretary under George. W Bush. "I would say that it is not good," Perino said. "It's not good for the country, and I don't think it's good for either campaign."
Hillary Clinton had obviously set a trap for Trump, Perino said, "and he had warning this was going to come. You can't plan for everything in your life," especially past things you've said, she added, but "dealing with how he's treated women in the past should not come as a surprise in the campaign against Hillary Clinton." "No, no, it should not have," Kelly said, "and I'll give you Exhibit A... in our case for the reason why Donald Trump should not have been surprised that the women issue was going to come at him." Exhibit A was Kelly's eerily similar question to Trump in a famous August 2015 GOP primary debate. "I tried to warn you," Kelly said after the clip. (To be fair to Trump, though, watch the 2015 audience's reaction to his disparagement of Rosie O'Donnell.)
Perino compared Clinton's surfacing of Machado to the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth campaign against John Kerry in 2004, then said that Clinton "is narrow-casting as well. It's not just women writ large that she's talking to but also Latina women in particular." "That's right, and even tonight, as the Trump campaign clearly wants to move beyond this, Newt Gingrich is out there, bringing it up again," Kelly sighed, "saying you can't gain a bunch of weight when you become Miss Universe." "Stop talking about women's weight all together," Perino said. "Stop." "You know what, if you want to increase your numbers with women, yeah, just stop telling us how fat we are?" Kelly said. "Because that, it turns out, doesn't make us feel very good. Especially when you have been classified as overweight, and we just don't want to hear it." Peter Weber

Retired police Capt. Peter Christ said that his mission to legalize drugs should not be mistaken as an endorsement to use them.
Christ, who retired as a police captain in 1989 after a 20-year career enforcing drug laws, insists that the war on drugs can never be won and is doing more harm than good. Christ wants to see all drugs legalized - and regulated.
"That doesn't mean I condone using them," he said. "They're all terrible, and if I could convince people not to use them, any of them, I would. But I can't. People are going to do what they want, regardless of whether drugs are legal. What we're talking about is making drugs legal, and then regulating them. Prohibition doesn't work. We've already seen that."
Christ, a New York resident, is traveling across the state, with scheduled stops in Warren, Youngstown and Cleveland, to explain his position. On Tuesday, he will address the issue at 7 a.m. at Lake Vista of Cortland, 303 N. Mecca St., Cortland. The free presentation will be in the Park Place Heron Dining Room on the second floor.
"The drug war does more harm than good," Christ said. "We're not winning. We can't get rid of all of the drugs. What we need to do is take the drugs out of the control of the drug lords, gangsters and terrorists, and get them off the streets."
Christ said that as a police officer he saw the effect fighting drug-related crimes had on law enforcement officials. He is a board member and co-founder of LEAP (Law Enforcement Against Prohibition), a group of cops, judges, border officials and other law enforcement officers who advocate for an end to the drug war.
Fact Box
WHO: Retired police Capt. Peter Christ, New York
WHAT: Why drugs should be legalized, regulated
WHEN: 7 a.m. Tuesday
WHERE: Lake Vista of Cortland, 303 N. Mecca St., Cortland
ADMISSION: Free
Current laws and policies fail to effectively address the problems of drug abuse, especially among juveniles, addiction and the problems of crime caused by the existence of a criminal black market in drugs, he said.
Similar to the days when alcohol was prohibited, the prohibition of drugs has financed and encouraged the spread of organized crime while doing little to curb consumption, Christ said.
"If we were to regulate drugs rather than outlaw them, we could take them out of the hands of gangs who sell to kids and put them into the hands of professional businesses that pay taxes, check IDs and are accountable for the purity of their product," he said.
Christ speaks of the drug war's impact on police / community relations; the safety of law enforcement officers and suspects; police corruption and misconduct; and the financial and human costs associated with current drug policies.

The Texas Tribute reports a study is underway on the possibility of a 3-hour rail link between Austin and Houston, although "not anytime soon."
Two thoughts:
1. I am an ardent, hard-core believer in Rail transit as a critical part of our urban and inter-urban infrastructure. But, 3 hours to Austin isn't good enough. Not many people are going to take inter-city rail to auto-dependent cities where you have to have a car to get around unless the rail is notably faster or cheaper than driving. Despite their progressive reputation, Austin is much harder to get around car-free than Houston. Neither city has decent transit service to the majority of places people live and work, although Houston's existing transit is vastly better than Austin's, and it's current transit expansion will only widen that gap.
2. The folks who planned the Capital Metro Rail project should have zero input on this proposed inter-city line.
It's both a financial and political waste when you spend $105 million on a 32+ mile regional rail system that takes over an hour to drop you off in the outskirts of a downtown where you almost certainly have to take a very slow bus to actually get anywhere you want to go. Austin should have learned from Houston, which spent $325M on it's 7.5 mile system. At first it sounds like Houston got a raw deal, but because it's an urban circulator in the densest part of Houston it carries about 38,000 people per day, where Austin's system caries 1,600.
Thus, Houston spent about $8500 per passenger/day, whereas Austin spent about $65,000 per passenger/day. Houston's Metro carries almost 14 million people per year, Austin's is on track to carry less than 600 thousand. If you look at a standard 30-year amortization of capital costs, Houston capital investment was about $0.78 per passenger, whereas Austin's was austin's was about $5.99.
So who got a better deal?
Inter-city rail is a critical part of our infrastructure future, but only when:
Items 1 and 2 require serious commitment from the state and federal government to invest in rail as seriously as they invest in highways — OR a total desubsidization of car travel so that private sector rail can actually compete.
Item 3 requires the same things on a local level, but also a significant cultural change to embrace urban density on a much larger scale than any place in America (perhaps outside of the urban northeast) has ever done before. This is not to say that urban density must be forced on people, but that it must be made legal again. Right now the suburban, low-density, auto-dependent development pattern is required by law in every city in the US (including Houston). Until that changes no rail (or other non-automobile) system will perform very well.
A footnote: to compare the cost of investments and "seriousness of commitment" it's helpful to sometimes look at the difference in transit and rail spending. While this is definitely not an apples-to-apples comparison, it does give you a sense of the order-of-magnitude difference in the commitment to each mode.
The Katy Freeway carries something like 220,000 cars per day, and the most recent expansion, widening cost about $2.8 billion. That's about $12,700 per car/day in capital investment, or about $1.20 per car trip if you spread it over 30 years.
So the order of magnitude of capital investment in Houston is about 10x higher for freeway projects than rail projects, and the capital cost per trip is 33% higher. Oh, and the highway creates massive noise and emissions pollution, takes up an enormous amount of physical space, increases downstream congestion, and is incompatible with any other transportation mode. All that, and yet mega freeway projects are embraced in this region with little more than token questions as to their cost / benefit, while rail projects are lambasted from all angles and continuously derided as a waste of money.
This is what I mean about the need for a culture-shift if we're ever going to have transportation freedom-of-choice.
For the Katy Fwy widening, wouldn't the more appropriate measure be how many cars per day there are now as opposed to how many there were pre-widening?
A 3-hour train ride from Houston to Austin is a certain loser when the typical Texas driver will make it in 2 1/2 hours. At 200 mph, the nonstop rail trip should take much less than an hour. What kind of rolling stock are they planning to use, the train ride in the Houston Zoo?
One should also factor in the cost of each car, insurance, maintenance and gas to get a true picture of the cost of the not-free-way. Though, to be fair, the car owner elects to bear the cost of the car and is coerced via taxation into paying for both the railway and the highway. But if there were no subsidies for roads or rails via taxes and they were funded purely by tolls then that would eliminate the coercive element.
