Ford Service
We established the Ford Training Center at the same time as we entered the Thai automotive scene. This center is where Ford technicians undergo standardized training courses and are regularly tested to ensure that they are truly competent and capable of rendering the most satisfactory service for our valued clients.
Client satisfaction has always been the primary goal of our operation in Thailand since our inception in 1996. We want our clients to be fully satisfied with the vehicles themselves, as well as, the excellent after-sales service they are entitled to. That was why we established the Ford Training Center on Bangna-Trad Road (K.M. 18) also in 1996. The center was later moved to Sunpawoot 4 Road, Bangna Intersection, in October 2001.
Ford Training Center coaches Ford technicians in the skills and the correct know-how required to provide the highest level of after-sales service. The center also serves as a hotline center for our on-site mechanics to call for advice whenever they are confronted with advanced technical problems.
Ford Thailand presently employs approximately 400 technicians, and stations 6 or 7 of them at each service center. Our technicians are classified into the following four levels.
- Assistant Technician
- Technician
- Senior Technician
- Master Technician
Graduates with a certificate of vocational education in mechanics may apply for a technician position with us, provided that they successfully pass our technician screening test which evaluates them for basic automobile knowledge and aptitude. Test materials are prepared and delivered to service centers when they need to take in more technicians.
Successful candidates are given the post of assistant technicians. They can be promoted to higher levels only through further training and education, both on their own and by the instructors at the Ford Training Center. This is because certain courses such as the one for electrical systems cannot be mastered on one's own.
Ford training courses are developed by highly qualified professionals from King Mongkut's Institute of Technology North Bangkok. Technicians are required to pass a test before they can be promoted.
1. Assistant Technician
- Certificate of vocational education in mechanics
- Must have accomplished 14 basic courses
- Must have accomplished the 5-day basic electrical system training
2. Technician
- Must have accomplished a minimum of two basic compulsory courses (pick-up truck and passenger car). Other models may be chosen as appropriate for the market.
- Must have passed the test for each course with a minimum of 80% score
- Must have undergone the 10-day training course
- Able to carry out basic maintenance and mileage maintenance
- Able to work safely without damaging vehicles
3. Senior Technician
- Must have accomplished a minimum of two basic compulsory courses (pick-up truck and passenger car). Other models may be chosen as appropriate for the market.
- Must have passed the test for each course with a minimum of 80% score
- Must have undergone the 30-day training course
- Experienced in maintenance work
- Able to diagnose the key systems of a vehicle
4. Master Technician
- Able to work as a trainer who transfers knowledge to junior technicians
- Experienced in prioritization of complicated and difficult maintenance
- Able to diagnose complicated key systems of a vehicle
- Must have accomplished the 5-day noise and shock analysis course
- Must have undergone the 5-day trainer course
- Must have undergone the 1-day technical document management course
- Must have passed the test for each course with a minimum of 80% score
- Must have undergone a total of 11 days of training
Ford Thailand is staffed with around 100 assistant technicians, 200 technicians, 60 senior technicians and 57 technicians who will become master technicians this year. All service centers have at least one senior technician and master technician on duty at all times, in an effort to remain true to the determination of Ford everywhere in the world to have master technicians, senior technicians, technicians and assistant technicians at 10:40:40:10 ratio. It is expected that all Ford Thailand service centers will have 10% of technicians become master technicians this year as a result of continual training and testing programs.
The three key areas of training are:
- New model training
- Technician efficiency improvement curriculum
- Performance improvement training (PIT). PIT is developed to address specific maintenance issues mostly required by technicians.
After having accomplished the technician level, service centers would nominate and send in candidates to be trained as senior technicians. All technicians are assessed periodically to ensure that the required standards are maintained. The requirements for each assessment level are clearly written down, making it easy for technicians to follow.
Ford puts an emphasis on retention of knowledge and expertise. To this end, we regularly dispatch assessment staff to conduct on-site assessments and call technicians in to be assessed at the training center. Technicians with low assessment scores will be reeducated and tested through on-the-job real-life training. Assessments such as these will be conducted more frequently to keep all Ford technicians current and on par with the standard.
We make sure our technicians are proud of their accomplished status with certificates, plaques, shirt patches denoting levels and business cards. These rank-identifying items remind our technicians that they should always be diligent and ever-improving so that Ford customers fully benefit from our quality after-sales services.
Ford instructors conduct training programs in compliance with Ford training materials internationally developed. This ensures all technicians share the same understanding of any particular matter. All courses focus on Ford vehicles and how problems should be fixed. The courses cover specific objectives, job orders, test and books specifically designed for them. The courses feature practical guidelines and help prepare technicians for any real-work challenges. Practice area is allocated at the back of all classrooms with two instructors to supervise.
The Ford Training Center Thailand also produces instructors for Ford in Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Vietnam, South Africa, China, Taiwan, Australia and New Zealand. Training programs are conducted three times a year with Ford Australia responsible for handling all training contents.
Millions of Baht have been invested in learning tools to best prepare technicians for actual duty. Electrical system learning tools, for instance, were imported from the United States and can be used to teach basic to advanced electrical systems. We also have sophisticated simulators to help with the understanding of our technicians on complicated systems. This includes the automatic transmission system and the engine system featuring actual ignition of the spark plugs and fuel feed which shows the fuel consumption rate that varies when the engine is accelerated. Most importantly, technicians are trained to diagnose and solve problems efficiently within specified time limits.
Certain learning tools were modified from real-life car components. Actual engines are altered (e.g. injection nozzles are loosened) so that they make a noise or rattle and the technicians are then asked to diagnose.
With such sophisticated learning equipment, Ford technicians are taught how to diagnose and solve problems efficiently. They are trained not to perform their duty based on guessing. The end benefits are that problems are taken care of professionally, in a timely fashion and at a reasonable cost.

While table salt has been widely industrialized in the U.S., the saltshakers in other areas of the world contain artisan-quality salt that is unrefined and in many cases, harvested by hand, experts told SN.

counter trend rally into the end of the month occuring here...might squeeze some more shorts tomorrow, but, with the bad earnings out after the bell, ythis mrkt might have already seen the end of month run up...same store sales out next week...then earnings week after, this stock, for the first time...is broken and ready for a real breakdown.
the market is not paying for high p/e stories right now...chinese do not and will not spend on coffee like the idiots in this country...the extension of brand selling sbux is undertaking smells of desperation...and, the insider selling is huge!!
all pointing to mid low 20's, quickly...then a drift down after a small bounce...stock will be a teenager by the end of the year.
coffee is an adictive "drug" only a matter of time before someone sues because they can't stop drinking and spending insane amounts of $$$$ for the coco bean!!
sell today and go away, live a much happier life!!
insiders are never wrong!!

Subject: Chapter II...BLACK AND WHITE ....The Treatment
Gemma, this hyperlink takes you to what I sent Mary who I assumed forwarded it to Elvis Mitchell.
Even though you have never heard of me please take my word that I didn�t �get off a boat� just yesterday.
In fact I arrived by plane into the United States 29 odd years ago this past St. Patrick�s Day; moreover, it would be foolish to assume that I couldn�t �connect up� all the important �dots� beginning with current day events that had these two screaming heads, John and Ken on KFI 640 AM, earlier today making a buck feeding off all the so polarizing controversies that they quite frankly are not bright enough to have created in their wildest dreams given how of course the DAAC make it their business to allow only the �most average� a �shot at the brass ring�.
Very few, if any would refer to me as �na�ve� although my uncle, David Moshal-Gevisser- Engelhard Oppenheimer, the American head of the DeBeers-Anglo American Cartel back in 1995, at a private dinner did in fact refer to me as such after I had just days earlier shown him beyond a shadow of a doubt after a full afternoon of �toying� with this buffoon that I was anything but na�ve; on the contrary, even possibly shrewder than my Royal Mater who got DG the top job of this cartel of cartels.
Not to mention DG eventually revealing rather explicit details of not only the $6 million �sign on bonus� he received when he became the American head of the DAAC immediately following the funeral on March 2nd 1971 of the murdered American Charles Engelhard but how �grateful� he was to my RM for having shown him how �prodders� can do far better than the extraordinarily few really smart people, bored to death with the Bell Shaped curve educational system that has the �most average� rising to the top.
To mention little of how I first had to begin by letting him know how very �sorry� I was to have �read the riot act� in the fall of 1989 to his famous investigative journalist-author son Mark Gevisser when Mark was simply following the DAAC�s orders to �bury� South African Industrialist, Solly Krok who was one of my first clients since I began in August 1989 hanging my �shingle�, dreamed up by my genius PR mother:
Gary S. Gevisser � A Name From Here, You Can Trust Over There!
To mention little of SK�s Broadway musical revival, Meet Me In St. Louis that MG was moments away from delivering a �death blow� as he hoped to �curry favor� with the DAAC by writing an article for The Nation, owned at the time by my pal Arthur Carter, that drew the �connecting dots� between the musical not having a single black face in the entire cast and the Krok family who made their pharmaceutical fortune selling �skin lighteners� to millions of black South Africans, ultimately causing the most horrific permanent facial disfigurements.

Subject: ...CHECK OUT....ROVER....air...ak...1421....get around...---...
Allow me to explain a very simple concept.
You cannot begin to �check out� anything even the color of your eyes thinking it might help you in unlocking the key to your soul without following the �money trail� that leads first and foremost to truth.
The DAAC owning everything and everyone who has more than a pot to pee in!
All the garbage TV and radio, all your and my nonsense talking parents, grandparents, friends and colleagues have stuffed in to the space between our ears interferes with such �truthful pursuit.�
But no more!
For the first time you feel free!
You also feel very stupid!
Most of all you feel extraordinarily corrupt!
But how can that be given the mantra being repeatedly replayed back in your head, �The truth sets you free!�
But that problem of �Free Enterprise� is very possibly yours, certainly not mine.
My problem is that right now I find myself without any more problems to solve simply binding my time waiting for everyone I know or who knows me to simply go quiet and my plan for world wide peace to be implemented within 7 days once the Peoples Republic of Communist China does the right thing and the smart thing which is also the right thing.
You are aware that I know people in the PROC who speak and understand English.
You are aware that most of the Chinese people I know are SIGNIFICANTLY more intelligent than every single westerner I know with the exception of possibly no more than 5 people, 4 of whom are no more intelligent than the dumbest of the dumb Chinese I know.
You are aware the DAAC have not YET taken control of either the Chinese mind or the Chinese economy which continues to fuel the world economy.
You are aware that it is TOTALLY IRRELEVANT to bother with projecting what might happen were the DAAC to have one day, possibly 10,000 years from now, the same control over the minds of the Chinese people as they CURRENTLY have over westerners, particulars those hooked on that so warm and fuzzy, �A Diamond is a forever-a Girl�s Best Friend�!
ATTENTION: Chris "Little Mind Me" Little - News dIRECtor for KFI 640 AM "More Stimulating Talk Sh*t Radio" [sic]
Even you, a very average prodder, would know the business of corrupt government is to never let grass roots organizations form.
Consequently it doesn�t take a rocket scientist or even a corrupt Professor of finance to figure out that if they are so fortunate to be �calling the shots� they must have done something �wrong� although anyone not funny would joke that they did it all �right�.
You would know once graduating college your next and only requirement is to encourage others to follow in your footsteps and that of course includes both the next generation about to be brainwashed and their poorly paid and educated educators.
The problem that you are waking up to this fine sunshine filled morning, the temperature warm enough that I will be wearing shorts and a tee-shirt when going for our first walk, is that tomorrow you are going to wake up with an even bigger headache as you revisit time and again the �form letter� that spells out the entire �Offense-Defense� position of the DeBeers-Anglo American Cartel who own not only you and those who choose to keep company with you on my FOOLS NAMES, FOOLS FACES IN PUBLIC PLACES list
Allow me to repeat the formal position of the DAAC to any western elected or unelected government official prior to them taking office.
Dear Mr./Mrs. President of the United States of America,
It is such a wonderful day today here in Johannesburg, South Africa, the birds are flying, the bees are humming, the humming birds you know have this incredible range of a heartbeat and you know how this Gevisser Character keeps talking his nonsense about getting in tune with the heartbeat of the universe, blah blah.
Go ahead as I pour myself a Lion Lager, make my day, change the wholesale price for a D [very clear] IF [Internally Flawless] 1 carat diamond and who cares about some scheister making a good cut or bad, make it whatever you want, make it worthless since of course it is worthless and then what should we do with our worthless-fictitious DeBeers-Dollars?
Now the next time you have your Justice Department official write me, I may not be so generous with my Durban Charm School etiquette and when I give him a job it will be alongside the next retired Chairman of the Federal Reserve who also serves at our pleasure.
Nicholas Oppenheimer
Your suffering will disappear once the space between your ears becomes a perfect vacuum where no sound travels.
Envision all the good you will be doing when returning as a snake.
�Sumtimes� [sic] it is better to keep quiet and let people think you to be a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt!

emails which have NOTHING to do with me on and off for over a year and

You would know that my response while not written like a formal Class Action lawsuit beginning with a �recital� and then providing all the �claims� to mention little of the chronology of events that include email@example.com trying to solicit funding out of me has each and every street smart person in the world now also reading this eager to sign up for my one-of-a kind seminar-workshop where I can within 45 minutes explain the steps they can take to become financially independent without having to invest a penny or give up their day job which may of course include breaking in to peoples homes just for the fun of it if not for �bread muni� [sic].
How other than your word do I know that you are not like Steven SPIelberg Producer-Director of the movie Munich bought and paid for by the DAAC, the mafia of mafia who make a mockery of each and every one of our laws including money laundering?
Let me Mr. Attorney General explain to you why it is that not only am I �lightening up� but what is invigorating kids as well as adults without much means but who haven�t let their formal education interfere with their learning by having you read very carefully Robins Brothers explanation of, �What Are �Conflict Diamonds�?
Conflict Diamonds are diamonds that originate and are mined from areas controlled by forces at war, or otherwise in armed conflict with the region�s existing officially recognized government. The diamond-producing area is taken over by these warring factions and the diamonds produced are used to illegally, and often brutally, fund military action in opposition to those governments, or in contravention of the decisions of the United Nations Security Council. In many cases, the resulting take-over includes terrorizing the people of those countries. Conflict Diamonds may also be referred to as Blood Diamonds, referring to the suffering that miners may endure due to rebel forces.
The Kimberley Process
In May 2000 African diamond producing countries initiated the Kimberley Process in Kimberley, South Africa, to discuss the conflict diamond trade. Participants from all around the world came together to create and implement an international certification process for rough diamonds based primarily on national certification schemes and internationally agreed upon minimum standards. Independent auditors monitor every invoice that records purchases made by DTC sight holders.

It takes, however, quite a bit of explaining to people unfamiliar with the history of the poorly bred �it� to appreciate why it is so important to keep highlighting his name as well as anyone dumb enough to associate with this slimeball of slimeballs who of course has a whole bunch of poorly bred supporters who so far remain deafeningly silent apart from his Ms. Dawn Kilicut who I didn�t see wearing any ring let alone a diamond engagement ring when the two of them walked side by side this past weekend right in front of our awesome cliff house in heavily corrupt Del Mar before doing an about turn and I could �swear� the impact on the surrounding air by the vibrating blabber of both their big butts caused the swell to pick up �sumwhat� [sic].
Not to mention how Ms. Dawn just couldn�t help herself looking at the cliff house just as she passed by.
Let me know if you are interested in the photo I took at the very moment she growled.
But what street smart kids can easily appreciate is the �dialogue� I am having with firstname.lastname@example.com that began on January 5th with RFreed emailing me from his blackberry in what seems to most reasonable people picked for jury duty to be quite a friendly tone:
You da freakin man!
Then after I responded with a 689 odd word communiqu� email@example.com emailed me on January 7th the following:
I need an investor for my Juke Box company. Can you help us?
Then on January 10th �out of the blue� email@example.com did nothing short of �blow up�, his second paragraph rather meaningful to anyone who has experienced harsh treatment by co-opted-corrupted law enforcement and Regime Change industrial-military- complex DAAC operatives.
Listening twice as hard as we speak is only tough for the poorly conditioned who only become dumber than their parents when they fail to do something when uncovering the fact that they have been lied to by one or both of their parents who were only entrusted to protect and not to �play God�.
There isn�t a street smart kid who has difficulty getting their arms around why it is they feel increasingly empowered when they confront all evil, understanding that only G-d can judge one evil as worse than the next and at the same time feel weak when they fail to �stand tall�; such feelings of both �power� and �weakness� each and every kid takes with them the rest of their lives.
Go ahead Mr. Attorney and test out my theory on your own life experience and feel free to let me know whenever you should decide to attend one of my one-of-a-kind Educational Light Journey-One Tribe of Achievers seminar-workshops where I will show you exactly how you can achieve financial independence within 60 days without having to pay me as much as a single penny and/or for that matter would you have to give up your day job as Attorney General of the United States in charge of the Justice Department responsible for executing our sacrosanct Anti-Trust-Anti-Competition-Anti-Price Fixing laws with the exception of course of the DAAC, the special interest of special interest group.
No one likes to be �left out� and at the same time everyone knows that not only do I speak the truth with mounds of credibility to boot, but I can explain in simple English using very short sentences, how the �real world� works that has the �filthy rich� trickling down the costs of getting richer on to the backs of the poor while so disgustingly preaching about ethics.
I have decided never again to listen to Dr. Laura so very out of touch with the guilt ridden real world, so sickeningly laughs at her increasingly more aware audience while cashing it in big time!
The decision by Unwitting Witness to go �anonymous� and for firstname.lastname@example.com to YET show up at any one of my front doors with the San Diego Sheriff�s Department in tow speaks volumes especially to those busy-bees who don�t have trust funds being funded 24/7 by those with �blackened hands�.
Those one paycheck away from being out on the street and/or who have spent any time in prison could care less about my credibility at the highest levels of the dark DAAC socio-economic pyramid only how I have managed to stay alive once figuring out that of course I have the brains not to eat no more than 3 square meals a day no matter how many highly profitable income streams I could create each and every moment of the day and then �sum� [sic].
What would my heirs in prisons around the world accepting my rubber duck gifts do with all the kickbacks I could get from the IRS who I understand still not only get most of their �leads� from informers but pay some 10% of what they collect?
Were you listening in as the surf just picked up here in heavily corrupt Del Mar that tolerates �tTOo� [sic] diamond-money laundering operations a hop-jump-and-a-skip apart?
Even the toughest of the toughest gang members who have spent time in jail understanding perfectly well that they may have got more and better sleep by being �non-threatening� are quite taken aback by the manner in which I respond to cowards like the �it� who uses everyone he can get his arms around including his fatso bitch to do his dirty work.
The email yesterday to a co-opted employee of CBS� Marketwatch while not stopping these individuals you see in this hyperlink from responding has however done nothing short of paralyzing most of the folks you see in this hyperlink who of course do not include all the current and former members of Israel�s, i.e. the world�s best trained Special Forces commandos and their Commanding Officers who are not very happy having unwittingly bloodied their hands all to prop up the lifestyles of the �indifferent� who rely on �mob psychology� to indoctrinate the �passionate� who are more often than not the most �finely tuned�.
Mr. Attorney General the hyperlink above the word �rent� takes you to page 4 of Insurance Marketing Services Inc.�s Weekly Marketeer of March 16th 1987 in which there is a quote from me along with a segment promoting one of IMS� most successful seminar speakers; seminars and conventions being one of several lucrative income streams of IMS Inc. that during the period I was the Chief Operating Officer and CFO attracted the premier media companies.
Not to mention yet again that on the day my non-compete ended with IMS I began an assignment with a division of Simon & Schuster that was very keen to acquire IMS, the largest privately owned marketing and publishing company specializing in the insurance industry.
You will note in this hyperlink that Unwitting Witness while anonymous demonstrates how much attention they pay to my writings, much like the �it� when he did a rather poor job of �cutting and pasting� back on September 11th 2002 when he first got away with filing a baseless criminal complaint that later resulted in a San Diego judge who of course didn�t get off a boat just yesterday had to have also noted the lack of witnesses the �it� had accompany him in to court on October 24th 2002 where the �it�s� second ex-wife, Marie Dion Gevisser demonstrated a number of her skills that most of all exposed that while the �it� was of course a very unintelligent plotter, albeit a flat-line plotter, he was a �control freak� willing to do whatever it took including lying under oath, under penalty of perjury in order to �get his way�.
The world today is getting increasingly closer as the children come together like no other time in the history of the world, forced to examine how exactly their parents, �made a living�, made so much easy by asking them their thoughts on The Diamond Invention.
One of the not-so-young kids I have met with in the past 72 hours is a 30-year old, in shape Lily White Wheaty Eating self-employed contractor who at age 20 began a 21 month prison sentence in a San Diego east county jail for selling marijuana.
His Mexican-American assistant who was born in the U.S. and whose first language is English only got through 8th grade and was diagnosed as having ADD [Attention Deficit Disorder].
Not to mention this younger very �on the ball� kid�s response while turning around in a complete circle, �Didn�t you notice I have only one ear?� to my question after complementing him on how well and how extraordinarily quickly he picked up on the essence of my forthcoming book, THE HISTORY OF MONEY CREATION AND ITS FUTURE!, �Do you know why G-d gave us two ears and one mouth?�

Admit it youve wanted your own pet monkey ever since you saw the Clint Eastwood-orangutan vehicle Every Which Way But Loose. He could ride your dog, eat with a fork, fetch you a beer; heck, you could even train him to knife-fight and guard you while you sleep! But that would take a lot of effort and is likely illegal, so instead, check out Fashion for Primate Passion this Saturday at Monkey Jungle.
The Dumond Conservancy promises one-on-one interactions with the squirrel monkeys plus an open bar, DJ Craig Peter, and a fashion show featuring Banana Republic threads, all for just 75 bananas. Heres hoping a trucker traveling the American Southeast shows up, slams a couple of Jäger bombs, puts the Rolling Stones Street Fightin Man on the tables, and does his best orangutan impression. Or better yet, you, New Times reader, could be that guy. You could be that guy.

Tim Powers
From Wikiquote
Tim Powers (born 29 February 1952) is an American science fiction and fantasy author.
Short fiction[edit]
The Bible Repairman and Other Stories (2011)[edit]
- All page numbers from the trade paperback edition published by Tachyon Publications
- Won the 2012 World Fantasy Award and the 2012 Locus Award, both for best collection
- He always had to use holy water—real holy water, from gallon jugs he filled from the silver urn at St. Anne's—but though it impressed the customers, all he could see that it actually did was get stuff wet.
- The Bible Repairman (p. 2)
- Love isn't in the category of normal things. Not any worthwhile kind of love, anyway.
- A Soul in a Bottle (p. 37)
- "And you've never married."
"I don't know any women well enough to hate 'em that much."
- The Hour of Babel (p. 61)
- "Solipsism," said Felise. "I thought that too, for a while, but it was so obvious that my cat didn't think so, didn't think I was the only thing in the universe, that I decided it wasn't true."
- The Hour of Babel (p. 62)
- You protect the ones you love. He clung to the thought. Even if they ignorantly resent you for it.
- A Time To Cast Away Stones (p. 126)
The Drawing of the Dark (1979)[edit]
- All page numbers from the trade paperback edition published in 1999 by Del Rey Books
- It struck Duffy that a touch of hysteria had sharpened the good fellowship tonight, as if the night wind whistling under the eaves carried some pollen of impermanence, making everyone nostalgic for things they hadn't yet lost.
- Chapter 6 (p. 86)
- He felt as if someone far away below in the darkness was chipping away at the pillars of his mind, and the steady crack...crack...crack of it was the only sound in the universe.
- Chapter 9 (p. 129)
- The wages of courage is death, lad, but it's the wages of everything else, too.
- Chapter 10 (p. 140)
- You're still Brian Duffy. As much as you ever were. But you're Arthur, too, and that kind of outshines everything else. Brandy and water tastes more like brandy than water, after all.
- Chapter 13 (p. 178)
- Trusting Merlin is like giving a migrant scorpion a lift inside your hat.
- Chapter 14 (p. 183)
- "How old are you, Brian? You ought to know by now that something always breaks up love affairs unless both parties are willing to compromise themselves. And that compromising is harder to do the older and less flexible and more independent you are. It just isn't in you, Brian. You could no more get married now than you could become a priest, or a sculptor, or a greengrocer."
Duffy opened his mouth to voice angry denials, then one corner turned up and he closed it. "Damn you," he said wryly. "Then why do I want to, half the time?"
Aurelianus shrugged. "It's the nature of the species. There's a part of a man's mind that can only relax and go to sleep when he's with a woman, and that part gets tired of always being tensely awake. It gives orders in so loud a voice that it often drowns out the other components. But when the loud one is asleep at last, the others regain control and chart a new course." He grinned. "No equilibrium is possible. If you don't want to put up with the constant seesawing, you must either starve the logical components or bind, gag and lock away in a cellar that one insistent one."
Duffy grimaced and drank some more brandy. "I'm used to the rocking, and I was never one to get motion-sick," he said. "I'll stay on the seesaw."
Aurelianus bowed. "You have that option, sir."
- Chapter 18 (p. 247)
The Anubis Gates (1983)[edit]
- All page numbers from the trade paperback edition published in 1997 by Ace Books
- When they'd gone the old man turned around to watch the sun's slow descent. The Boat of Millions of Years, he thought; the boat of the dying sungod Ra, tacking down the western sky to the source of the dark river that runs through the underworld from west to east, through the twelve hours of the night, at the far eastern end of which the boat will tomorrow reappear, bearing a once again youthful, newly reignited sun.
Or, he thought bitterly, removed from us by a distance the universe shouldn't even be able to encompass, it's a vast motionless globe of burning gas, around which this little ball of a planet rolls like a pellet of dung propelled by a kephera beetle. Take your pick, he told himself as he started slowly down the hill...But be willing to die for your choice.
- Chapter 1 (pp. 3-4)
- Say that again after you've been in the same spot and acted differently, old buddy. Maybe then I'll be ashamed.
- Chapter 7 (pp. 169-170)
- I've learned that having a lot of money is more fun than not having a lot of money, and that once you've got it, it tends to grow all by itself, like a fire.
- Chapter 14 (p. 341)
- "You ever notice, Joe," he asked, mechanically picking up the mug, "that it always takes a little more trouble to get something than the thing was really worth?"
Joe considered it. "Better than taking a lot of trouble and getting nothing."
Dundee sipped the coffee. He didn't seem to have heard Joe. "There's so much weariness and fatigue in it all. For every action there is an equal...stupefaction. No, that might be bearable—it's greater than the action."
- Chapter 14 (p. 342)
- Certainly no valid answer is ever gained by excluding any factors of the problem; that was the Puritans' error.
- Chapter 15 (p. 370)
On Stranger Tides (1987)[edit]
- All page numbers from the mass market paperback edition published in 2011 by Harper
- The seas and the weathers are what is; your vessels adapt to them or sink.
- Chapter 1 (p. 9, repeated on p. 53)
- "Whats o'clock?"
It wants a quarter to twelve,
And to-morrow's doomsday.
- Chapter 19 (p. 207, quoting T. L. Beddoes)
The Stress of Her Regard (1989)[edit]
- All page numbers from the trade paperback edition published in August 2008 by Tachyon Publications
- He was dizzy, and it occurred to him that Newton must have been right when he'd said that light consisted of particles, for today he could feel them hitting him.
- Chapter 3 (p. 51)
- The church has become a more...exclusive club since the founder's day, it's clear. No doubt the Devil is more hospitable.
- Chapter 10 (p. 129)
- Every ruler wants to maintain the status quo.
- Interlude "Summer, 1818" (p. 170)
- Processions of priests and religiosi have been for several days past praying for rain; but the gods are either angry, or nature is too powerful.
- Chapter 17 (p. 285; quoting from the journal of Edward Williams)
- The landlord crossed himself when they checked in, but an English ten-pound note for a week's lodging overcame whatever superstitious misgivings the man may have had.
- Chapter 17 (p. 285)
- "God help us," said Crawford softly.
"If there is one." Byron grinned. "A whole lot of ghastly things have turned out to be possible, remember."
- Chapter 20 (p. 330)
- She's probably only now beginning to be able to think for herself, he thought. And she'll be hating it. Will she acknowledge the responsibilities that she can now clearly see, or will they be so appalling that she'll just want to return to the selfless haze?
- Chapter 24 (p. 372)
- He tried to put more conviction into his voice than he felt, and he mentally cursed any God that there might be, for having made this coming ordeal not only tremendously difficult and dangerous, but possibly pointless too.
- Chapter 26 (p. 400)
Last Call (1992)[edit]
- All page numbers from the trade paperback edition published in 2003 by Perennial
- It wasn't fair, but fairness was something you had to go get; it wasn't delivered like the mail.
- Chapter 8 (p. 77)
- Gambling was the place where statistics and profound human consequences met most nakedly, after all, and cards, even more than dice or the numbers on a roulette wheel, seemed able to define and perhaps even dictate a player's...luck.
- Chapter 8 (p. 79)
- I'm really willing to try to believe you're not crazy, but you gotta help me a little, you know?
- Chapter 37 (p. 374)
- He thought about crossing his fingers, but clasped her hand instead.
- Epilogue (p. 535)
Declare (2001)[edit]
- All page numbers from the trade paperback edition published in 2013 by William Morrow
- All wrong. The words seemed in this moment to describe Hale's whole life.
- Chapter 7 (p. 182)
- Your policy here, and in all the Arab states, has been to get out as much oil as you could, before the indigenous peoples looked around and noticed that they were living in the twentieth century.
- Chapter 7 (pp. 184-185)
- Which perspective is true? he thought. Which do I want to be true?

- Chapter 12 (p. 345)
- Let us quickly be finished with the business of dying, to save the trouble of making dinner.
- Chapter 12 (p. 345)
- He remembered his dismay at finding himself committed to a hand of cards without having honestly looked at the stakes, fourteen years ago. Had he been doing it again? But if the stakes were too frightening to consider, and the game was already lost, what value could there be in clear comprehension?
- Chapter 17 (p. 496)

Restaurant planned for Pabst site seeks MEDC loan
A hotel's restaurant and tavern planned for the former Pabst brewery is seeking a loan from a city affiliate.
The Brew House Inn and Suites' restaurant, owned by Oregon, Wis.-based development firm Gorman & Co., wants a $950,000 loan from Milwaukee Economic Development Corp., a nonprofit business lender which operates revolving loan funds. »Read Full Blog Post(5)
Hope persists for Golden Guernsey plant's future
A week after the sudden closing of the Golden Guernsey dairy company, resulting in the loss of more than 100 jobs and sending schools scrambling to find another source of milk, Teamsters union official Gene Gowey says he clings to hope the plant will reopen.
Some people had worked at the Waukesha plant for more than 25 years, but they're too young to retire and they've spent their entire career in a niche business that doesn't offer many local job opportunities, said Gowey, recording secretary for the International Brotherhood of Teamsters Local 695 in Madison. »Read Full Article(151)
Milwaukee's Integrated Mail Industries expansion stalled
When land sale negotiations between two neighboring businesses on Milwaukee's north side failed, city officials supported efforts to force a sale - an action justified because one of the companies was threatening to move if it couldn't expand onto the disputed property.
Nearly three years after the land was sold, expansion plans for Integrated Mail Industries Ltd. remain stalled because of a slow economy. And while the company's president says Integrated Mail still plans to use the property, the project has no specific timetable. »Read Full Article(1)
Home sales up 24% in 2012
Home sales in the Milwaukee metro area posted their best year since the recession, but overall prices remained stagnant in 2012.
Sales of existing homes jumped 24.6% in Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Washington and Waukesha counties last year, to more than 16,000 from about 12,900 in 2011, new data from Metro MLS Inc. shows. That's the highest total in any year since 2007. »Read Full Article(10)

Posts about France
Worldwide links: Does Seattle want more transit?
Seattle is about to vote on whether to expand its light rail, stirring up memories of votes to reject a subway line in the late 60s. In San Francisco, people would love to see subway lines in place of some current bus routes, and in France, a rising political start is big on the power of cities. Check out what's happening around the world in transportation, land use, and other related areas!
Subway in Seattle?: Seattle is gearing up for a massive vote on whether to approve a new light rail line, and a Seattle Times reporter says the paper is, on the whole, anti-transit. Meanwhile, lots of residents haven't forgotten that in 1968 and 1970, voters rejected the chance to build a subway line in favor of a new stadium and highways. (Streetsblog, Seattle Met, Crosscut)
Fantasy maps, or reality?: Transit planners in San Francisco asked residents to draw subway fantasy maps to see where the most popular routes would be located. They got what they asked for, with over 2,600 maps submitted. The findings were also not surprising, as major bus routes were the most popular choices for a subway. (Curbed SF)
Paris mayor --> French president?: Sometimes labeled as the socialist "Queen of the Bohemians", Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo has quietly moved up the political ladder, and she's now a serious candidate to be France's future head of state. Hidalgo did the unthinkable by banning cars from the banks of the Seine, and her ability to make change at the local level makes her believe cities are, in many respects, more important than the countries they inhabit. (New York Times)
How romantic is the self-driving car?: In the US, driving at age 16 was a 20th century right of passage. But what happens when we take the keys away? What happens to people's love affairs with cars if cars drive themselves? Does turning 16 mean anything in terms of passage into adulthood? In this long read, Robert Moor wonders how the self-driving car will affect the American psyche, and especially whether older drivers will ever recover. (New York Magazine)
Pushing back on art in LA: Local activists in Boyle Heights, a neighborhood east of downtown Los Angeles, are pushing back against artist spaces they feel are gentrifying the neighborhood. Research shows that the arts aren't necessarily a direct gentrifying agent, but planners do watch art spaces to analyze neighborhood change. (Los Angeles Times)
Quote of the Week
We've had this concentrated population growth in urban areas at the same time that people have been doing an increasing percentage of their shopping online. This has made urban delivery a more pressing problem.
- Anne Goodchild on the growth of smaller freight traffic in urban areas. (Associated Press)
Worldwide links: France
Today, we mourn for France, which was again the target of a horrific terrorist attack.
Tragedy in France: A man killed over 80 people and injured at least 200 more when he drove a truck through a crowds celebrating Bastille Day in France's southern city of Nice. The attack on the pedestrian-filled promenade was the third major terrorist attack in France since January 2015.
Tramways of Paris: Light rail and streetcar lines continue to go up around the country, and while some have been successful others suffer from low ridership and poor design. Across the Atlantic, however, Paris built a system of "trams" that has a ridership in excess of 900,000. The Paris tram's successful integration with the city's existing network, along with its dedicated right of way, are things we should learn from. (TransitCenter)
Catch them all: The Pokemon Go phenomenon has urban thinkers excited about a new possibility for getting people out of the house and exploring their neighborhoods. People playing the game have been roaming the streets and complaining of tired legs while going places they normally might not in order to capture Pokemon for their collections. (Curbed)
Pre-fabulous: A new method for building prefabricated housing in England has cut construction time from eight weeks to three. Using timber construction, architects build self-supporting boxes and ship them to the site. At around Ł100,000, these homes could be a new source of affordable housing. (Wired UK)
Exhibits, but no musuem: Stadiums and museums cost a lot of money to build and keep running. But maybe the best place for what happens in those buildings, like concerts and exhibits, is festivals. While buildings require up keep and become a liability, festivals can use public spaces and temporary structures to fill their needs. It's an idea to ponder for places that don't have much budget to waste. (Des Moines Register)
Old burbs: As the generation known as the Baby Boomers ages, the structure of the suburbs will become more challenging: as people age, driving cars and climbing stairs will become more strenuous on both physical and mental health. But there are ways for people downsizing to prepare, and it's possible for them to move into more walkable neighborhoods. (The Herald)
Brew tube: To bring down the number of beer-filled tanker trucks driving through historic Bruges, Belgium, a local brewery decided to build a two-mile beer pipeline to its bottling plant on the outskirts of town. The pipeline allowed jobs to stay in the UNESCO historic district while upholding not just architectural heritage, but also continuing the tradition of brewing beer. (Guardian Cities)
Quote of the Week
"During multiple sessions, attendees have expressed concerns that the streetcar will speed up gentrification and displace long-time residents. Thus, the plan, these opponents say, should be discarded in the name of affordability... Over the years, studies have shown that transit access will be a factor in increased rents and gentrification, but transit access isn't the only factor. It is, then, possible and necessary to implement zoning and housing policies that can tamp down on the upward pressures transit access exerts on the affordability of a neighborhood and stave off displacement."

8 lessons about great transit I learned riding the Paris Métro
Paris has one of the world's great subway systems. Beyond its truly impressive coverage and service quality, here are eight wonderful details about how it operates that US systems would do well to mimic.
1. Door knobs speed trains
In DC and in many US subway systems, when trains pull into stations passengers wait for the train operator to open the doors. That adds a few seconds to every stop while the train idles on the platform, doors shut. Waiting passengers tap their feet and cross their arms.
All those seconds, at every station, every trip, all day, add up. The result is not only less happy riders, but also slower trains that come less frequently and carry fewer people than the system's theoretical maximum.
In Paris, those delays don't happen. Each door has a manual knob or button that passengers can push to enter or exit at their own pace. For safety, the doors are all locked while the train is moving quickly. But as it comes to a halt the doors unlock, and passengers can immediately open the doors to exit trains.
Here's a video, showing how the whole operation makes exiting a train noticeably faster than on WMATA:
WMATA did have automatic doors up until 2008, which were faster than the operator-controlled doors of today. But that was eight years ago, and there's no indication they'll be fixed any time soon.
Although the issues for a streetcar are different than a subway, this is one detail DC's streetcars share.
2. Full platform seating works
Why do WMATA station platforms have so few seats? Especially at side platform stations, why not just line the entire platform with one long bench?
Check out Paris' Chatelet station, where that's exactly the layout:
Most Paris stations aren't like Chatelet. Frankly, with sub-five-minute headways most of the time, a lot of seating isn't as crucial there as it is in DC. But there's been many a day I've stood for 15 minutes in a WMATA station wishing it had this feature.
3. Flip-up seats add capacity
The first row of seats inside Paris' train doors flip up. On sparsely-populated trains, riders can sit in the seats comfortably. On especially crowded ones, riders can stand, creating more space on the train.
Yes, riders in Paris sitting on these seats do seem to usually get up and create more space when the train gets crowded. It seems to be part of Paris transit etiquette, like standing on the left on DC escalators. Not everyone does it, but enough do to make a difference.
This arrangement also makes it easier for people in wheelchairs to ride without blocking the aisle.
4. Open gangways really do work
US transit systems are slowly beginning to catch on to the benefits of longer open-gangway trains. If passengers can move from front to back of trains without getting off, that makes trains less crowded and boosts capacity.
All new or recently refurbished lines in Paris have open gangways. And they're wonderful.
5. Great late night service is possible with only two tracks
Paris' metro lacks express tracks just like DC's, and it runs basically comparable hours to WMATA. It's also decades older than Metrorail. It must have at least similar maintenance needs, and no more time in the day to accomplish them.
Yet somehow Paris manages to run frequent trains late into the night.
I have no idea how they do it. When do maintenance workers do their work? How do they keep up tracks with trains coming every four minutes?
I wish I knew. If you know, send Mr. Wiedefeld an explanatory note.
6. Els can be public art
Talk about elevated rail in the US and most people visualize either Chicago-style steel monstrosities or Tysons Corner-style concrete ones. Neither are particularly endearing images, except maybe to transitphiles and architecture buffs.
In Paris, even the el train is beautiful.
And though a bridge over the Seine is a special place, Paris' els have nice aesthetic touches elsewhere too.
7. Wayfinding can be beautiful
"If you can make something pretty, why not make it pretty?" My wife and I kept coming back to that thought as we explored Paris. These signs, telling riders which direction their metro train is headed are one example of why.
8. Location-specific maps help riders navigate
Going to the airport? Rather than only a tiny icon on the main system map, how about helping riders with a dedicated airport transit map?
In DC we already put location-specific bus maps and neighborhood maps inside every Metro station. Why not unique maps for destinations to which infrequent riders often travel, like airports and stadiums?
What details like these have you noticed on other countries' transit systems, that you'd like to see imported to the US?
Cities worldwide are building beautiful, landmark pedestrian and bicycle bridges. Could Georgetown be next?
A new bicycle and pedestrian bridge may one day connect Georgetown with Roosevelt Island. Some recent bridges like this in other cities have become iconic landmarks. Could DC do the same and compensate for its freqently lackluster bridge designs? Here are a few of the world's great pedestrian bridges.
Such a bridge was part of Georgetown's recent 15-year action plan and made it into DC's MoveDC citywide transportation plan last year.
Many cities have built new bridges as opportunities to showcase distinctive design while adding vital pedestrian links. The London Borough of Wandsworth is sponsoring a design competition right now for a new footbridge across the Thames.
Spanish architect and engineer Santiago Calatrava designed the glass-floored Sundial Bridge across the Sacramento River in Redding, California.
London's Millennium Bridge opened in 2000 to bridge the Thames between the Tate Modern to St. Paul's Cathedral. The bridge is tall enough to allow river navigation, but short enough not to obstruct the historically protected view corridor of the cathedral.
The Simone de Beauvoir Footbridge has been undulating across the Seine in Paris since 2006.
The crescent Gateshead Millennium Bridge in Newcastle upon Tyne, England, tilts back to allow ships to pass.
The Henderson Waves bridge soars 120 feet over a valley in the Southern Ridges park of Singapore. The bridge deck provides shade and seating areas to view the park valley.
Although it spans a relatively short distance, Sarajevo's Festina Lente Bridge features a playful loop that shades a seating area midway across the bridge.
Could one of these bridges come to DC?
Such a connection would provide many advantages. Although the island is inside the boundaries of the District of Columbia, visitors can only access it from Virginia. Visiting the island requires a half-mile walk or bike ride from Rosslyn down the Mount Vernon Trail. There's a small parking lot on the Virginia shore, but it fills up quickly on warm weekends, and drivers can only reach it from the northbound GW Parkway.
A bridge from Georgetown would give District residents and visitors easier access to this wooded and marshy parkland, which serves as a stark contrast to the dense urbanization of Georgetown and Foggy Bottom.

There isn't money for the bridge today. MoveDC lists the bridge as a second-tier priority, meaning it is not within DC's six-year capital plan. DDOT planner Colleen Hawkinson said external factors, such as outside funding or public support, could shift the bridge's priority.
Even if funding arises, multiple federal agencies will have to act. The National Park Service controls the island and would have to agree to any changes. MoveDC classifies the bridge as a bicycle transportation project, but the National Park Service, which controls the island, prohibits cycling there. The National Capital Planning Commission and the Commission on Fine Arts, which are providing advice on the Frederick Douglass Bridge replacement, would play a strong role in reviewing designs.
Any project will require an environmental analysis which could take years (one for a proposed boathouse on Park Service land on the Arlington shore of the Potomac is dragging on into its third year, for example). If the bridge does come to fruition, it will be years away, but it would be a major asset to help people enjoy and appreciate the Potomac River.
America can learn from this French city's complete streets
Strasbourg, France is a beautiful city that takes its complete streets to heart. The roads through the old city gracefully mix street trams/light rail with bicycle paths and friendly traffic calmed streets. Pedestrians move easily. Its central intercity train station is a glamorous historic building sheathed in a chic, modern glass shell.
My family moved to Strasbourg when I was 12. In French school, I comprehended little, and regularly escaped the gates of Le Lycée International des Pontonniers to explore the city by foot and public transportation. It was liberating to take my lunch money and spend it in boulangeries around town or even into Germany across the Rhine River. My parents thought I was in school and I may not have been in the country!
Given the quality of its infrastructure, it would be easy to think the French city is quite large. In fact, Strasbourg is a metro area with a population the size of Albany, Little Rock, Colorado Springs and would rank 73rd in US metro size behind Columbia, SC.
6 tram lines ply this small city
The Strasbourg metropolitan area of 760,000 people contains six tram lines, 56km (36 miles) of track, 72 stations, and daily ridership of 300,000 as of 2010. No US city near this size has this kind of rail system.
During the day, trams run every 6 minutes Monday to Friday, 7 minutes on Saturday and 12 minutes on Sundays. Yearly passes are 456 euros ($620 dollars) with discounts for those over 65 and under 25. A single fare is 1.60 euro ($2.18).
Trams glide from suburbs into the dense city with a dedicated right of way. Photo by michallon on Flickr.
Strasbourg's trams function as a hybrid of what in the US we would call streetcars and light rail. The rail vehicles are similar to streetcars because they are mostly in the roadbed and integrate into the city's fabric, but unlike streetcars, they operate with their own right of way separate from traffic, as light rail does.
Bicycle infrastructure abounds
To complement the tram system, Strasbourg has almost 500km (311 miles) of cycling paths, 18,000 bike racks that serve over 130,000 cyclists. Secure bike parking lots and tire inflation facilities are available at bus and tram stops for transit card holders.
Baltimore County, a national leader in Complete Streets, still lags far behind Strasbourg
Many US cities have adopted complete street ordinances and individual streets have been retrofitted. Locally, Baltimore County has been recognized as a national leader for Complete Streets, ranking 6th among 83 communities in the US with Complete Streets programs.
Despite this recognition, the county's on-road bike network is minimal; members of the Baltimore County Pedestrian and Bicycle Advisory Committee have been frustrated by the lack of commitment to projects; the county has missed the mark on its pedestrian safety campaign; and now its county executive struggles to find a $50 million contribution for the $2.4 billion Red Line his administration says it supports.
In Baltimore City, Council Bill 09-0433 was adopted in 2010 directing the Departments of Transportation and Planning to apply "Complete Streets" principles to the planning, design, and construction of all new city transportation improvement projects.
Despite the accolades and the policies, "complete streets" in Baltimore County and Baltimore City still feel foreign. Too many incidences of tragic pedestrian, bicycle, and vehicle crashes get blamed on user error than engineering design.
Only a few of the most progressive US cities are scaling up Complete Streets projects. On the ground implementation in many jurisdictions remains the elusive prize. Complete Street advocates look forward to seeing first rate projects in the city and the suburbs get designed, funded, and become reality.
You can see a gallery of pictures of Strasbourg's complete streets infrastructure at Comeback City.
China may have figured out wireless trams
This December, wireless streetcars will start carrying passengers in Guangzhou, China. The new trams will run using supercapacitor batteries instead of overhead wires.
Cities around the world, including Washington, have been increasingly interested in wireless streetcars ever since Bordeaux, France started using them in 2003. But Bordeaux's trams use an underground third rail that's proven too expensive for widespread use.
The Guangzhou system will use batteries that automatically recharge from an underground power supply at passenger stations. One recharge takes 10-30 seconds, and powers the tram for up to 4 kilometers (2.5 miles).
And a similar system is in the works for another Chinese city, Nanjing.
That's good news for DC, where laws prohibit overhead wires at key locations near the National Mall. Streetcars like Guangzhou's could solve that problem.
It's not clear how much extra this type of wireless tram would cost. Expense doomed the Bordeaux method, so that is a serious concern. But if the price is right, the technology finally seems to be there.

Fruit stands abound within Paris Métro
Throughout the Paris Métro are ubiquitous vendors of fresh fruits and vegetables. Vending machines on station platforms sell candy and bottled beverages. The option to quickly grab a snack is readily available to Parisians and riders of New York's subway, but not our own. Should it be?
Apples, clementines, bananas, mangoes and tomatoes are readily available at reasonable prices throughout the M´tro system, from the modern Bibliothèque François Mitterrand station on Line 14 to older stations like Barbès-Rochechouart on Lines 2 and 4.
There are no restrictions on eating on the Paris Métro. While there is ample supply of discarded chicken bones, sunflower seeds and fast food on Washington's Metro despite a ban on food, the Paris Métro is comparatively clean, with no traces of food on the trains or station platforms.
Some of the stands are free-standing, requiring the proprietors to set them up and take them down every day. Others rent existing kiosk space. Each vendor stand has a digital scale uses to weigh your purchase. From one vendor a clementine cost 0.35 Euro, while at another stand, a clementine and green apple ran to 1.37 Euro.
Two years ago, a New York State Senator proposed a law that would ban eating on New York's MTA. The law was widely opposed, even by MTA's chief, and did not pass.
Even with a ban on eating, Metro still employs a rodent exterminator, who the Post recently profiled. Is Paris' Métro clean while Washington's Metro is dirtier, despite a ban on food here and not there, a result of varying cultures?
Is it time for the Washington Metro to change its orientation towards food, or is the ban appropriate? Would you patronize a fruit and vegetable stand at Metro Center, L'Enfant Plaza or Rosslyn?
Yes, there are new mixed-traffic streetcars in Europe
In an attempt to discredit the concept of streetcars, some opponents erroneously claim that other first-world countries don't build mixed-traffic rail. So let's set the record straight: Yes they do. Plenty.
Mixed-traffic tram in Manchester, UK, opened in 2013.

I'm not an expert on European transit, but it takes about 5 minutes on Google to find numerous examples of recently-built mixed-traffic European trams.
Here's a (most likely partial) list. The dates in parentheses are either the year trams were reintroduced to the city in question, or the year the specific mixed-traffic segment pictured in the link was built.
- Tours, France (2013)
- Manchester, UK (2013)
- Le Mans, France (2007)
- Nottingham, UK (2004)
- Dublin, Ireland (2004)
- London, UK (2000)
- West Midlands, UK (1999)
- Sheffield, UK (1994)
- Manchester, UK (2013)
Of course, all transit functions better in dedicated lanes. It's completely true that many mixed-traffic streetcars in the US would benefit greatly from dedicated lanes, and will only lack them for political will. It's also completely true that Europe is better at providing transitways for their streetcars more often than the US. None of that is in dispute.
But the fact is, many European cities have indeed recently added new mixed-traffic lines, because whether streetcar opponents care to admit it or not, there are many benefits to rail transit aside from where it runs.
But wait, there's more
In addition to the true mixed-traffic streetcars listed above, Europe also has an entire category of trams that often run in mixed-traffic that's completely absent from the US.
Guided tire trams run on rubber tires like a bus, but have a single in-ground track to guide them, as well as overhead wires. They're a middle ground between buses and streetcars, and are present in mixed-traffic arrangements in multiple cities in France and Italy, at least.
It's not exactly fair to call guided tire trams streetcars, but neither is it fair to exclude them from a discussion of mixed-traffic European trams.
If a US city wants to prove it's serious about providing a rail-like BRT experience, they might experiment with one of these. So far, none have done so.

No, DC is not going to be like Paris
Supporters of DC's height limit say restricting building heights has worked to keep Paris beautiful. But embracing the Parisian built form would have unintended consequences on DC's neighborhoods.
The mid-rise Paris that we know today was built not by a democracy, but by a mad emperor and his bulldozer-wielding prefect. As Office of Planning director Harriet Tregoning said in a recent WAMU interview, "Paris took their residential neighborhoods and made them essentially block after block of small apartment buildings."
"If we were to do that in our neighborhoods, we could accommodate easily 100 years' worth of residential growth," she added. "But they would be very different neighborhoods."
A haunting exhibition of photographs by Charles Marville, now on view at the National Gallery of Art, offers us a glimpse at how this change manifested itself in Paris.
The city government hired Marville to document the systematic demolition of central Paris' low-rise neighborhoods, the construction of new mid-rise neighborhoods (the ones we know today) in their stead, and the widespread displacement of the center's low-income residents to the urban fringe. (Numerous books have been written about the era, notably "Transforming Paris," by David Jordan.) There were technological limits on buildings in that era, too: elevators were slow and expensive, and the new water mains could not supply satisfactory water pressure to the upper floors of many buildings.
Not dissimilarly, downtown DC's horizontal march has steamrolled numerous low-rise neighborhoods in its wake, from Chinatown to Foggy Bottom. Now that only a few blocks are left for downtown to grow into, office buildings are muscling into Shaw. This is only natural for a mid-rise city: Paris' mid-rise urban fabric superimposed on DC would spill outside the diamond, vastly larger than the existing downtown.
That path of destruction is why most other growing cities in this century (i.e., built-out but growing central cities, from London and Singapore to New York, Portland, Toronto, and San Francisco) have gone the Vancouver route and rezoned central industrial land for high-rises. This method allows them to simultaneously accommodate new housing, and new jobs, while keeping voters' single family houses intact.
By opposing higher buildings downtown, DC's neighborhoods are opposing change now, but at the cost of demanding far more wrenching changes ahead: substantial redevelopment of low-rise neighborhoods, skyrocketing property prices (as in Paris), or increasing irrelevance within the regional economy as jobs, housing, and economic activity get pushed further into suburbs that welcome growth.
Among large North American cities, only Toronto has joined DC in making a concerted effort to redirect growth into mid-rise buildings along streetcar lines, and only as an adjunct strategy in addition to hundreds of high-rises under construction. (The two metro regions are of surprisingly similar population today.) Yet there, just like here, neighborhoods are up in arms at the very notion.
DC cannot put a lid on development downtown, in the rowhouse neighborhoods, in the single-family neighborhoods, and on the few infill sites we have left, and yet somehow also accommodate enough new jobs and residents to make our city reliably solvent, much less sustainable. The sum of remaining developable land in the city amounts to 4.9% of the city, which as OP demonstrates through its analysis, cannot accommodate projected growth under existing mandates.
Something will have to give. A good place to start is a loophole-ridden law imposed back when DC was a protectorate and when Greater Washington counted fewer residents than today's Asheville or Quad Cities.
The Office of Planning has suggested a reasonable framework for a subtly revised Height Act that can accommodate growth and change while preserving the city's cherished urban design and historic neighborhoods. Adapting the rigid 130' cap to a street-width rule maintains the Height Act framework along our ceremonial avenues, where our city's namesake actually set a height minimum.
Along streets like L'Enfant Promenade, Washington had the right idea: taller buildings will better frame vistas. Beyond the L'Enfant City, the Comprehensive Plan and zoning ordinance will continue to ensure that most buildings never reach the 90' Height Act maximum, but the city will have the flexibility to adapt to evolving construction techniques and special opportunity sites.
As DC re-adjusts to a new century of urban growth, after a lost generation of population decline and disinvestment, inaction poses a far greater risk than action. Paris' combination of horizontality and verticality is undeniably beautiful, but its unique form resulted from a peculiar historical process that I would not wish upon an American city today.
The District of Columbia Council is accepting written testimony about the Height Act until next Tuesday. For more information or to send your comments, visit their website.
