PATV sermon: "Jews are enemies of Allah and humanity - Kill them"
by Itamar Marcus and Nan Jacques Zilberdik
Feb. 1, 2010
PA TV Sermon:
"Jews are the enemies of Allah and humanity"
"The Prophet says: 'Kill the Jews'"
"Even if donkeys would cease to bray, dogs cease to bark,
wolves cease to howl and snakes to bite,
the Jews would not cease to harbor hatred towards Muslims."
By Itamar Marcus and Nan Jacques Zilberdik
A sermon calling for the genocide of Jews was broadcast Friday by PA TV, which is under the control of PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas. The speech called the Jews the enemies of God and humanity, and compared Jews to Nazis.
In a recent interview with the Israeli newspaper
, Abbas proudly declared that there is no more incitement in the mosques:
"They [Israel] said there is a problem with incitement in speeches in mosques
during Friday prayers. Today there is no more incitement at any mosque," he
[Abbas] said." [
, Dec. 16, 2009]
The following is the transcript of excerpts of the hate speech in a mosque broadcast on PA TV:
"The loat
hsome occupation in Palestine - its land and its holy places - by these new Mongols and what they are perpetrating upon this holy, blessed and pure land - killing, assassination, destruction, confiscation, Judaization, harassment and splitting the homeland - are clear proof of [unintelligible word - Ed.] hostility, of incomparable racism, and of Nazism of the 20th century. The Jews, the enemies of Allah and of His Messenger, the enemies of Allah and of His Messenger! Enemies of humanity in general, and of Palestinians in particular - they wage war against us using all kinds of crimes, and as you see - even the mosques are not spared their racism...
"Our enmity with the Jews is a matter of [or 'based on'] faith; our enmity with the Jews is a matter of faith, more than an enmity owing to [or 'arising from'] occupation and the land."
"Were the Palestinian people not the owners of the orchards of Haifa and Jaffa? Were the Palestinian people not the owners of the buildings of Sheikh Munis [today's Ramat Aviv], Safed and Acre? And from [a situation of] orchards and the citrus exports [they have been reduced] to UNRWA and to food stamps, and from buildings and from the Mediterranean beaches to refugee camps and to exile. Why, Oh nation of victory and of Shahada (Martyrdom)?! Why, Oh nation of Islam?! Because we forgot that which we were told [in the Quran], because we forgot that which we were told, and Allah allowed the Jews to punish us."
"Oh Muslims! The Jews are the Jews. The Jews are the Jews. Even if donkeys would cease to bray, dogs cease to bark, wolves cease to howl and snakes to bite, the Jews would not cease to harbor hatred towards Muslims. The Prophet said that if two Jews would be alone with a Muslim, they would think only of killing him. Oh Muslims! This land will be liberated, these holy places and these mosques will be liberated, only by means of a return to the Quran and when all Muslims will be willing to be Jihad Fighters for the sake of Allah and for the sake of supporting Palestine, the Palestinian people, the Palestinian land, and the holy places in Palestine. The Prophet says: 'You shall fight the Jews and kill them, until the tree and the stone will speak and say: 'Oh Muslim, Oh servant of Allah' - the tree and the stone will not say, 'Oh Arab,' they will say, 'Oh Muslim'. And they will not say, 'Where are the millions?' and will not say, 'Where is the Arab nation?' Rather, they will say, 'Oh Muslim, Oh servant of Allah - there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him.' Except for the Gharqad tree [tree mentioned in the Quran - Ed.], which is the tree of the Jews. Thus, this land will be liberated only by means of Jihad..."

I mean, this one is kind of a no brainer. John Carpenter. Rowdy Roddy Piper. A pair of glasses that can distinguish between humans and aliens masquerading as humans. What's not to love?
The Live is everything a campy film should be. But it's also much more than that. It's a smart social satire about us all taking whatever corporations and mass media feed us without questioning it at all. It's a wonderful melange of paranoia, action, sci-fi and hilarious one-liners. So please, STOP THINKING about whether or not you're going to WATCH this movies and just OBEY my wish that you DO.

People in Ventura County have always had the pleasure of distancing themselves from Los Angeles traffic, but those days may be over. The 101 freeway runs through Ventura County for 44 miles, from Thousand Oaks to Carpinteria. Locked between the sea and the mountains, there are virtually no alternate routes. That fact, combined with an increased population, has created gridlock that has never been seen here before. Darren Kettle is the executive director of the Ventura County Transportation Commission. He's been struggling to find a solution that people can live with. He said we may not like what he finds.
"The mainline freeway all the way from the L.A. County line through Camarillo and Oxnard to Ventura is our life-line route. We have been working the last few years on looking out to 2035 and our long-term transportation needs. While we are growing slowly, we still are growing; and this growth will impact our quality of life in Ventura County. As jobs come back around, we are going to see the 101 freeway experience more and more gridlock. Nobody wants to sit in that; it takes time away from our lives, our families, everything else," he said.
Kettle said the peak commute time used to be bumper-to-bumper traffic for a half-an-hour to 45 minutes during the week. Now we're sometimes up to one hour and a half. The weekend traffic is equally as bad and on holidays, too. "When it's 102 degrees in the Valley and it's 80 degrees in Ventura, we get the Los Angeles County traffic combined with ours."
Approximately one third of the population of Ventura County commutes, that's according to Transportation Commission statistics for 2011. Some go to Santa Barbara, but the vast majority commute to Los Angeles. Travel time varies but the overall average is 30 minutes. Less for local employees, more for commuters. About 60 percent of people leave for work between 6 and 8:30 am. The same mass returns between 4 and 6:30 p.m.
Since 2011, those times have started to get longer. Caltrans spokesperson Maria Raptis said the electronic message signs above the freeway will give constant updates.
A fiber optic loop embedded in the road sends data to Caltrans Transport Management Center in Glendale. There, the traffic engineers are watching big screens in a NASA-like complex, and disseminating the raw data from the roads. At 1 p.m. on Saturday, June 15, Father's Day weekend, the Moorpark Road sign estimated the travel time from Thousand Oaks to Highway 33 as 55 minutes.

freeway traffic throughout Los Angeles and Ventura Counties.
Also, the closer to L.A. County you get, the more cars you see. The data shows that the 2012 average daily traffic counts were highest at the 101 Freeway and Highway 23 interchange in Thousand Oaks with 189,000 cars per day. Camarillo had 140,000 cars on Highway 101 at Central Avenue. Oxnard, 134,000 cars at Johnson Drive. Carpinteria was lowest with 74,000 cars at Casitas Pass. According to Caltrans figures, those numbers rival traffic patterns in Los Angeles.
Kettle is collaborating with Caltrans to ease the traffic problem. He said there are two freeway projects underway right now.
The first is the widening from Mussel Shoals up to Carpinteria, with a lane being added in each direction. Caltrans is overseeing the operation that will turn those new lanes into carpool lanes. It will be finished by 2015 and will be the first HOV (high occupancy vehicle) lanes in Ventura County. The $102 million project will add 12 miles, six in each direction, of new carpool lanes on the Ventura Freeway — the first ever in Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties.
Expanding the Highway 101, Highway 23 freeway interchange in Thousand Oaks is the only other project that will be moving into construction by the end of the year. The plan is to break ground before 2014. That project should be finished with construction in 2015.
"Identifying the challenge is one thing; putting the program in place to try to work through it is a whole other thing. We are working with Caltrans right now on something called a PDS project development study. We are asking what kind of improvement is needed to solve the problem over the next 20 years. In rough numbers, to add one lane in each direction on the 101 between the L.A. County line and Highway 33 to Ojai, would cost up to $800 million for that 30 miles."
Funding is a problem. Federal funds for highways have diminished substantially, state funds have diminished substantially, and Ventura County is one of the only counties in Southern California without a sales tax measure for transportation improvements. Los Angeles County has a penny and a half sales tax for highways; Santa Barbara has a half-cent tax. So Ventura County has to rely completely on the federal government and Sacramento for funding.
"We see, at the most, $20 million a year for highway investment. So if we put every penny into widening the 101, it would take 40 years to fund it," Kettle said. "So we have to look at alternatives, and one is adding lanes through a toll road. We would build new lanes that would be a use-based toll system. We're seeing that more in Southern California. A study is underway to look at that type of solution. The thing that has changed so much with funding transportation in the country is the gas tax. It is a situation of diminishing return. We haven't seen an increase in our gas taxes since the early '90s. The tax is per gallon, not percentage of sale, so it's a flat number."
But there is some good news in all this. Ventura County Air Quality engineer Stan Callan reports that air pollution levels in Ventura County are getting much better.
"Year by year, you can see just the trends are improving. People are using less gasoline because it's more costly, engines are so much more efficient now, and they keep getting more efficient, with more miles per gallon. In 1988, V.C. had 160 smog days, that's days exceeding the national standard for safety. In 2013 we had 16 days. Los Angeles had 100 and Santa Barbara had two. Weather and geographic location are also factors," Callan said.
Another alternative is light rail. According to Kettle, Ventura County has seen growth in Amtrak ridership in the last few years.
"The Pacific Surfliner had its highest ridership last year. The thing is that most of the track is owned by the Union Pacific Railroad. Much of the rail line up the coast is single track, you need a double track to be effective for commuting, and that would be extremely expensive to build. The railroad would need a guarantee of ridership to invest that much money. The fact of the matter is, in Southern California we still drive a lot and it would take a major culture shift to get people to just jump on the train."
Road of good intentions
Kettle said he and other members of Ventura County government have been witnesses to a major increase in development along the 101 Freeway; development they are powerless to regulate.
"We have a number of both residential and commercial developments along the 101 corridor. There's the Conejo Creek project in Camarillo, a couple of very large projects in Oxnard, a couple of projects in Ventura. They will bring more cars to the 101 and we will experience more gridlock."
There's a reason why people want to live in Ventura County, Kettle said, and we have to find ways to support that. "As a community we spend no money on supporting improvements on the 101. Do we need to change that and add a half-cent sales tax, or build a toll road? We would all love to just have the freeway somehow improve, but that's just not going to happen. The feds and the state can't fund it. We, as a community, are going to have to solve the problem by making some decisions. It's a major uphill battle."
Ventura County Supervisor Linda Parks is on the Transportation Board and is one of Kettle's bosses. She said three things have created the traffic problem: people not living and working in the same place, more development than the roads can handle, and the lack of alternatives to driving in your car.
"As far as development is concerned, when you do an environmental impact report, and you find something that has a significant impact that can't be mitigated, then by law you have to do an overriding consideration. You can cite things like it will bring lots of money to our city coffers, freeway ramps might be improved, a soccer field," Parks said.
Parks complains that what happens at the governmental level is often hidden from the public. "Caltrans acknowledges that it will be a significant impact that can't be mitigated. So if the city of Camarillo approves this project they'll just have to do what's called overriding considerations, saying that it's OK that the city will benefit and the rest of us are stuck in traffic. It's a real eye opener when you discover how many development projects have been approved in Ventura County. When people see what's coming and all those cars hit, you just have to shake your head," Parks said.
According to V.C.T.D. the Conejo Creek Project slated for development in Camarillo would add 40,000 car trips a day. Camarillo Public Works Director Tom Fox oversees that project. He said that not all of those trips would be on Highway 101. The increase, he estimates, would only be about 5 percent on the freeway.
"If the project has more of a negative impact than a benefit, and can't be corrected or mitigated back to a level that works well, than there is a need for what's termed overriding considerations; and the Camarillo City Council could determine that they have to make findings that identify why it would make sense to still allow a project. What they have done is offered a solution to help ease the traffic increase. The project would include an auxiliary lane that would improve northbound on/off ramp lanes," Fox said.
Fox explains that the City Council is not just building more development that would add to the traffic problem, but trying to help ease that impact.
When asked if the residents of the county might resent the fact that Camarillo is benefiting at everyone's expense, Fox said, "That's something that will have to be analyzed as the project comes forward. However, it's not the only project that would have or will be adding traffic to the freeway. Whether the project gets approved or not, there are other projects in and around Ventura County that will get approved. This project is one of the more responsible ones trying to address impact, or at least the traffic they have added."
Merrill Berge founded Camarillo Sustainable Growth, a 3,000 member grass-roots organization designed to inform the public about development that is affecting traffic. She disagrees with Fox about the impact on the freeway. "According to the environmental impact report, the auxiliary lane improvement on the 101 by Conejo Creek would not mitigate the traffic increase." She cited this excerpt from the report as a more accurate account.
Conejo Creek Draft EIR–section 4.15 Transportation and Circulation
This improvement (by the Conejo Creek Project) would reduce vehicle queuing at the signaled on/off ramp intersections and thereby indirectly reduce congestion along U.S. 101 mainline. However, traffic generated by the proposed Specific Plan would continue to contribute to unacceptable level of service along the U.S. 101 mainline.
"There is no place to have a complete list of all county building permits issued," Berge said.
Berge does agree with Fox that his project is not the only one. She has made a list of them.
Projects approved:
• The River Park build-out of 2,500 units with a retail center on 700 acres in Oxnard.
• The Springville development of 1,350 units on 150 acres in Camarillo.
• The Wagon Wheel project of 1,500 units in two high-rise towers on 63 acres in Oxnard.
• The Sakioka Farms industrial, research and development business park on 400 acres in Oxnard.
• The Airport North commercial and industrial development on 330 acres near the Camarillo airport.
• Limoneira East area, 1,500 residential units and 366,000 square feet of commercial and light industrial use on 500 acres in Santa Paula.
Berge said the Sakioka Farms industrial park will be located on farmland between Rice and Rose Avenues. That project alone, according to the E.I.R., is expected to produce 78,000 daily car trips, nearly double the Conejo Creek project, she said. Not all of those trips would necessarily be on Highway 101. The projects would certainly create hundreds of jobs in Ventura County, but there is no current evidence that employees would necessarily live nearby. Berge said that many could actually commute here from L.A.
"No one is taking any responsibility for all this. Caltrans is saying, this is what's going to happen, and don't count on us for funding to do anything about it. We will overwhelm our infrastructure," Berge says. "We are seeing now only a fraction of the traffic jams were going to see in the future. People are going to be focused on this issue and they are going to get mad at elected officials."
Traffic psychology
Traffic anger has spawned a new discipline called traffic psychology. It is a relatively young subcategory of psychology that studies the relationship between what we think and how we behave on the road.
Leon James is professor of psychology at the University of Hawaii and one of the leaders in this field. He lives in Honolulu, the second most congested city in the country, just behind Los Angeles. He calls his specific discipline driving psychology.
"Something that occurs with drivers in traffic is what I call mental rumination," James said. "They ruminate over and over about how angry they are. When finally they get to the end of the trip, they keep ruminating by telling stories about it to other people. Then everyday they rehearse that story in their own mind, the complaints against other drivers, the authorities, police, construction workers, even to throwing things at workers, I've read."
James said he's convinced that the solution offered by more construction is limited and ineffective, yet he finds most people don't believe that.
"While construction may be necessary, it's not going to be the solution that most drivers are looking for, namely the increase in time that they spend in traffic. So if the public demands that Caltrans or whoever comes up with a solution, they're not going to. What remains is how we adjust to the problem that can't be solved."
According to James, the most common solution that people have been using for decades is a radio, then their own music and now audio books and Bluetooth. They are trying to make the ride more bearable so they don't feel anxious.
"Even in ancient Rome, traffic was often at a standstill. The Romans established a standard that endured for centuries.It can take no more that one and a half hours to get from outside the city to its center. Our modern cities have reached that with cars now, so the disaster that the Romans averted is now being experienced by us," James said.
The solution is in lifestyle, James said. We can either stay at home or center our activities on smaller outlying communities. We can visit a unique antique bookstore in Los Angeles with virtual reality and even make a purchase. But we also lose the charm of the visit. But when that visit takes an hour in traffic to get there, maybe the charm is lost already.
James suggests stopping the negative thinking and trying to find positive ideas. That is where listening to radios and music or good conversations can come in, improving how you talk to yourself about what's going on. These are new skills to learn. Social networking can offer solutions. We can keep in contact with the world just sitting in one place.
"I call mental venting a state of emotional driving impairment. You're driving under this influence of emotional stress. It's dangerous to drive like that. I became a driving psychologist because when I drove I was such a mess. I would rush around taking risks yelling at other cars, upsetting my passengers. I was imitating what I saw on TV and what I saw my parents do," James said.
Social pioneers like James and engineers like Kettle seem to agree that the alternatives to sitting in traffic are just starting to dawn on many of us.

This bridal bouquet is a beautiful keepsake for after the wedding. The bouquet is composed of cream colored sola flowers, natural miniature pinecones, preserved and dyed blue misty, preserved blueberry juniper and preserved cedar foliage. You may choose your ribbon color at checkout.
The Bouquet is approximately 9"-10" inches in diameter from tip to tip of the preserved cedar foliage. A great size for a bride to carry.
This is a "made to order" item. Turn around time is 1-2 weeks, however, if I have all supplies on hand, I will ship it out to you sooner. If you need it as a rushed order, please convo me to see about possibility.
Sola flowers are handmade (not by me), out of soft tapioca or balsa wood. They feel like they are made out of a thick paper. Each flower will vary slightly and may have small, natural imperfections which are all part of their beauty.

1-2 weeks
I'll do my best to meet these shipping estimates, but can't guarantee them. Actual delivery time will depend on the shipping method you choose.
Buyers are responsible for any customs and import taxes that may apply. I'm not responsible for delays due to customs.
Request a cancellation within: 24 hours of purchase
But please contact me if you have any problems with your order.
Sola flowers are not fresh flowers. They are handmade with shavings from tapioca or balsa tree bark. Because they are handmade, and made from natural materials, no two are exactly alike. Some brown veining are on some of the flowers due to being made from the bark of a tree. They feel like thick paper in person.
No, all greenery and filler flowers I use in my designs are real plant material that has either been air dried, or chemically preserved and dyed after it has air dried. This allows all my items to be kept as keepsakes after your event.
Since all my items are keepsake items, you may keep your flowers 1 year or more before your event if you have a place to store them. They should be stored in a dry place with no humidity and no direct sunlight. Direct sunlight over time will eventually fade the flowers. After your event, you'll still be able to enjoy your keepsake items.
Yes! Although hardier than fresh flowers, sola flowers are still fragile and need to be handled with care. Our designs are carefully packed for shipping, but sometimes small tears or broken petals may occur due to shipping. Even if this happens, the flowers are still beautiful and usable.

Artist's Description
Although I'm primarily a photographer and collage artist, I'm having fun making monoprints, getting my hands dirty with paint. Once the paint is dry, I bring the print into the computer for a little touch-up and to perhaps combine the image with yet another. I particularly like the warm colors of this one.
About Carol Leigh
I'm a photographer, writer, educator based in the Pacific Northwest, specializing in photomontage work, combining photos I've taken of rust, walls, peeling paint, birds, postage stamps, trees, etc. into images that are completely new, different, and often weird. I also create physical collages, then find myself photographing parts of them to include in my photomontages. It's crazy, but it's fun! My career has encompassed writing guidebooks (primarily about where to photograph in California), newsletters (guides for photographers about where to photograph in the United States), leading photo workshops, and conducting online classes.

2018 Honda Pioneer 1000 LE
Stock Image
Pioneer® is only for drivers 16 years and older. Multi-purpose utility vehicles can be hazardous to operate. For your safety, be responsible. Always wear a helmet, eye protection and appropriate clothing. Always wear your seat belt, and keep the side nets and doors closed. Avoid excessive speeds and be careful on difficult terrain. All MUV drivers should watch the safety video "Multipurpose Utility Vehicles: A Guide to Safe Operation" and read the Owner's Manual before operating the vehicle. Never drive under the influence of drugs or alcohol, on public roads or with more than one passenger. Driver and passenger must be tall enough for seat belt to fit properly and to brace themselves with both feet firmly on the floor. Passenger must be able to grasp the hand hold with the seat belt on and both feet on the floor. Respect the environment when driving. Pioneer® is a registered trademark of Honda Motor Co., Ltd.
Suggested Retail Price (SRP) excludes destination charge. Visit powersports.honda.com to view applicable destination charge amount.
Don't settle for anything but the best.
All side-by-sides face the same challenges, but it's how they solve them that sets Honda's Pioneers apart. Smart technology. Superior materials. Refined engineering. And something nobody else can match: Honda's well-earned and world-famous reputation for reliability and overall quality. And the farther you go or the harder you work, the more that means.
This year's Honda Pioneer 1000 lineup is a perfect example. These great side-by-sides got it right the first time in terms of comfort, handling, hauling, and user-friendly features. Available in both three- and five-seat versions, in addition to their innovative features, from our flagship Pioneer 1000-5 Limited Edition right through our line to the Pioneer 1000, you can count on a Honda, year after year, mile after mile, adventure after adventure.
Tough Job? Rough Trail? No Problem.
Some folks skip straight to the top of the line. If that's you, then you've come to the right place. Honda's Pioneer 1000 Limited Edition and Pioneer 1000-5 Limited Edition aren't just the top of our Pioneer line, we think they're the top of any side-by-side lineup. Loaded with innovative features and premium upgraded components, it also offers enhanced comfort and protection. Available in both three-and five-seat versions, the Limited Editions set the bar high, then vault over it.
And here's an overview of the rest of the lineup. The Pioneer 1000 and Pioneer 1000 EPS offer the same chassis and engine as our Pioneer 1000-5 models, but with a three-place front bench seat and a conventional tilt bed. Available in three trim levels, when you're looking for a side-by-side you'll be driving for years to come, the Honda's Pioneer 1000s are what you want.
- Powerful 999cc Twin-Cylinder Engine: Class-leading displacement in a compact engine size. The 999cc liquid-cooled inline twin utilizes the same Unicam® cylinder head design found in our motocross bikes and features electronic fuel injection, so you get reliable power and performance, wherever the adventure takes you.
- Fully-Automatic Six-Speed DCT Transmission: Drive the way you want, with the industry's first and only 6-speed Dual Clutch Transmission. Choose between manual mode or fully automatic. Plus, the addition of Sport Mode increases the fun, shifting at higher RPMs for a spirited, full-performance driving experience.
- High/Low Subtransmission: With a full 42-percent gear reduction between High and Low, you get the torque you need in all 6 gears. It comes in handy when driving over difficult terrain, scaling steep hills or towing heavy loads.
- Built in the U.S.A.: The Pioneer 1000 is purpose-built for the American market, right in America. Domestically and globally sourced parts are all assembled at our plant in Timmonsville, South Carolina, and once these side-by-sides roll off the line, they're ready to explore every corner of the country.
- 2000-Pound Towing Capacity: Call it 2000 pounds, or call it 1 ton. Ether way, the towing capacity of the Pioneer 1000 is unsurpassed by any competitor. So instead of hopping on the tractor or taking out the truck, you can stay right in your side-by-side and tackle those bigger jobs with relative ease.
- Hill Start Assist: Need to stop on a steep uphill? Honda's Hill Start Assist automatically holds the Pioneer 1000 Limited Edition in position while you move your foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator—there's no roll-back drama.
- Paddle Shifting: Steering column-mounted paddle shifters add a serious dose of performance in every drive. In Manual mode, they let you shift without ever taking your hands off the wheel, and in Automatic mode, they let you override the current gear with a quick up or downshift, holding that gear for several seconds before returning to Automatic mode.
- Independent Front and Rear Suspension: Dual A-arm suspension gives you 10.5 inches of travel in the front, and 10-inches of travel in the rear. Pair that with stellar ground clearance, and you maximize available traction and superior comfort maneuvering over terrain other side-by-sides would shy away from.
- Turf/2WD/4WD/Diff Lock: Don't tear up sensitive surfaces. Select Turf Mode. Want to access as much traction as possible? Put it in 4WD. Need maximum power at all four wheels? Lock the front and rear differentials. And the best part is, you can do it all with a shift of a single lever.
- Electric Power Steering: Our Electric Power Steering system helps eliminate bump steer through rocky and rutted terrain, which reduces fatigue. What makes it even better is the added assist you get when you need it most, like when you're in 4WD, driving at lower speeds, or maneuvering over rough conditions. Available on Pioneer 1000-5, Pioneer 1000 EPS, and Pioneer 1000 Limited Edition models.
- Bigger Tires: Practically speaking, the 27-inch tires on 12-inch rims help increase ground clearance, improve ride comfort, and deliver better traction. Realistically speaking, they just look great. And on the DLX model, you get Maxxis Bighorn 2.0 tires with radial construction and premium style.
- Advanced Transmission Logic: The brain of the DCT, Advanced Transmission Logic, senses how you drive and adapts. Relaxed drivers get earlier shifts for a quieter ride at lower engine speeds. Sportier drivers will hold each gear longer for higher RPM shifts. And when going downhill, you get true engine braking. Now that's a smart transmission.
- Electronic Brakeforce Distribution: Heading down a hill? Is the bed loaded or empty? Honda's Electronic Brakeforce Distribution automatically proportions the force to the front and rear brakes with changing conditions—all you do is press the brake pedal. (Standard on all Pioneer 1000 Limited Edition models.)
- Engine Air Intake: To get the most out of your engine, you need the best air going into it. That's why we positioned the air intake up high under the hood. It helps ensure a clean air supply, even at deeper fording depths, and with a new viscous air filter element, you get increased performance and longer service intervals.
- QuickFlip® Seating: Want to bring an extra one or two passengers along for the ride? Two QuickFlip® seats pop up from the cargo bed on Pioneer 1000-5, giving you the extra seating you need, when you need it. Exclusive to Honda, it's a smarter system than fixed seat, multi-row models, giving you better maneuverability on the trails.
- 1000-Pound-Capacity Tilt Bed: There are a ton of reasons to buy a Pioneer 1000. Among them: the half-ton hauling capacity*. No side-by-side can haul more, and when it comes to dumping, we've made it easier than ever, with a hydraulic assist tilt bed lever that can be accessed from outside the vehicle, or right from the driver's seat. (*600 pound bed capacity for CA models)
- Color-Match Door and Bedside Panels: Want to change the color of your Pioneer when hunting season rolls around? No problem. Our door and bedside panels can be easily swapped out for a different color scheme if and when you need it. This feature comes in particularly handy in case a panel sustains any damage on the job or trail. (Available on Pioneer 1000-5 Deluxe and Pioneer 1000 EPS model.)
- 3-Person Contoured Bench Seat: Tough, durable and built to enhance every driving experience — yes, we're talking about the seat. Contoured for three passengers, the center seat is positioned up and forward to maximize space and comfort, and the covering is designed to resist both the elements and heavy use.
- LCD Display: The multi-function LCD dash display is large enough to host loads of information, in an easy-to-read way, like speed and fuel level. RPM and transmission mode. Fuel gauge, water temperature, trip information and more. It even includes a clock, so you'll always know when it's time for some fun.
- Tilt Wheel: With a tilt steering wheel, you're ensured an even more comfortable driving experience. We've given the wheel a wide range of adjustments for optimum customization, and it even moves very far forward to allow for easy entry and exit. Available on Pioneer 1000-5's and Pioneer 1000 EPS model.
- Chassis Refinements: Some of the most impressive Pioneer 1000 features are those you'll never see. In addition to the suspension and ground clearance, we rubber-mounted the engine and exhaust system to insulate the cabin against excessive vibration. So while you may not see this feature, it's one you will definitely notice.
- Self-Load Leveling Rear Suspension: Even when you push your Pioneer 1000-5 to the limits, you compromise nothing. Just take the load-leveling suspension with cargo, passengers or both piled into the back — the rear suspension automatically adjusts to the weight change. So you maintain ground clearance, comfort and handling, without compromises.
- Four-Wheel Disc Brakes: The Pioneer's uncompromising power helps take you further than ever before. The reliable disc brakes help you stop on a dime. Built to the same standard as you'd find in our autos, the four-wheel disc brakes minimize debris from building up, ensuring consistent performance, and giving you confidence on the trail.
- Driver/Passenger Protection: The Occupant Protection Structure uses large-diameter tubing, and meets OSHA's rollover protection standard. The hard doors and roll-up side nets help keep debris from entering the cabin, and auto-style three-point seatbelts are equipped with an emergency locking retractor mechanism, to help optimize passenger security. When you put this much safety first, fun is sure to follow.

Donna Summer
Queen of disco, mother of modern dance music.
Dance music would not be what it is today without five-time Grammy winner Donna Summer. When Brian Eno heard her, he declared, "I have heard the sound of the future." He was right.
Donna Summer won five Grammys and was the first artist to have three consecutive double-LP albums reach Number One.
Her lifetime in music was a study in contrasts: the "Queen of Disco," who was a church-reared gospel singer throughout childhood and wrote most of her own songs; the diva de tutti dive, the first true pop diva of the modern era, who spent her formative years singing in a rock band.
Donna Summer was born LaDonna Adrian Gaines on December 31, 1948 in Boston. She was one of seven children. Her father was a butcher, and her mother was a school teacher. She began singing in church, and she made her performance debut with a church group when she was 10. She recalled that as she sang, "I started crying, everybody else started crying. It was quite an amazing moment in my life, and at some point after I heard my voice came out, I felt like God was saying to me, 'Donna, you're going to be very, very famous,' and I knew from that day on that I would be famous."
In 1967, shortly before high school graduation, Summer moved to New York and began singing with a hard rock band called Crow. She then auditioned for a role in the Broadway musical Hair. She did not get the part, but when Hair opened in Munich, Germany, she was cast as Sheila. She settled in Germany and married Austrian actor Helmut Sommer. The marriage did not last long, but after the divorce she kept the Anglicized version of his surname.
While in Germany, Summer began a long-term association with Munich songwriters-producers Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte. Together, they created a string of European pop hits for Moroder's Oasis label. In 1975 Moroder licensed Oasis to America's Casablanca Records. That same year, Summer came up with an idea for a song featuring the lyrics "love to love you." At the request of Casablanca president Neil Bogart, Moroder and Bellotte turned the song into a seventeen-minute opus of orgasmic delight. Summer said she was evoking Marilyn Monroe in her singing.
"Love to Love You Baby" became a huge disco hit and then crossed over to the pop and R&B charts, reaching Number Two on the pop chart and Number Three on the R&B chart. The song was Summer's U.S. chart debut and first of nineteen Number One dance hits between 1975 and 2008 (second only to Madonna).
In 1977 Summer released a concept album, I Remember Yesterday. Moroder expanded the music's stylistic range, adding more synthesizer. "I Feel Love," one of the tracks from the album, went to Number Six on the pop chart and Number Nine on the R&B chart. That same year, Summer released another concept album, Once Upon a Time, which was a Cinderella fairy tale. The following year, Summer scored her first Number One hit, a cover of Jimmy Webb's "MacArthur Park." That same year, she also appeared in the disco film Thank God It's Friday. Summer won a Grammy for one of the songs from the soundtrack, "Last Dance."
Summer had one of her biggest years in 1979, when she released Bad Girls. The album featured two Number One hits, "Hot Stuff" and the title track. Another track, "Dim All the Lights," went to Number Two. The success of "MacArthur Park," "Hot Stuff," "Bad Girls" and the Barbra Streisand duet "No More Tears (Enough Is Enough)" gave Summer four Number One hits in a little over a year. "Hot Stuff" also won her a Grammy for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance, the first time the category was included.
In 1980 Summer switched labels, moving from Casablanca to Geffen. Her first album for Geffen was The Wanderer (1980). The title track reached Number Three. In 1982, she released Donna Summer, which was produced by Quincy Jones. The album included another Top 10 hit, "Love Is in Control (Finger on the Trigger)."
She Works Hard for the Money, released in 1983, was Summer's biggest album since Bad Girls. The album reached Number Nine, while the title track went to Number Three. The album also included the song "Unconditional Love," which featured backing vocals by Musical Youth. Summer's success continued throughout the Eighties and into the Nineties. In 1992 Summer was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
In 2009 Summer issued her first album of all-original material in seventeen years. Crayons included three songs—"I'm a Fire," "Stamp Your Feet" and "Fame (The Game)"—that reached Number One on the U.S. dance chart. In August 2010 Summer scored another Number One dance hit with "To Paris with Love." Over the last decade, endless covers and sampling of Summer's music by producers and DJs have kept the five-time Grammy Award-winner's pioneering body of work on the front line.
Donna Summer died from lung cancer on May 17, 2012.
Inductee: Donna Summer (born December 31, 1948, died May 17, 2012)

Some recipes you may recognize, some you may have missed or forgotten about, but along with the first series, these should help to give you a well rounded reference point of some more things to do with ground beef, when you're looking for some inspiration. If you missed the first series, visit here to check them out!
Speaking of ground beef... although I don't always specify, for many recipes where I indicate ground beef, I typically use ground chuck, because I think that it's the most flavorful of all the ground beef. Of course it tastes great - it's loaded with fat! Since the fat is rendered out, I use it most often when precooking ground beef for a casserole or skillet dish, and always in my beef hamburgers. Whenever I can get rid of the excess fat, but retain the flavor, I favor ground chuck.
Lesser expensive regular ground beef is also perfectly appropriate for many of those same dishes, so use what your budget will allow. Since the excess fat is being either rendered out, or drained off, most ground beef varieties can be interchanged. Do be aware that some of those may contain lean finely textured beef (LFTB), the controversial pink slime we've all heard about. Some stores are voluntarily labeling their ground beef products to indicate there is "No LFTB," so if you are concerned about it, check the labels for those markings. {Thank you Rouses!}
For dishes that cook from a raw state such as a large meatloaf, I generally prefer a leaner ground beef such as sirloin, which I enhance with finely minced vegetables to help the leaner cut retain moisture. I love ground chuck, and have used it in meatloaf, but it is the higher fat content of the family of ground beef, and I just don't like the idea of my food swimming in all that accumulated fat as it cooks, if I can avoid some of that.
A quick and easy skillet version of lasagna, combining ground beef with onion, garlic, Italian seasoning, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, mozzarella, cottage cheese - or ricotta if you prefer - and broken lasagna noodles. All the flavor without all the time and effort.
Basic Ground Beef American Goulash
I have a great jazzed up Deep South version of goulash, but this is the more familiar old school, basic American goulash - a quick and easy ground beef, macaroni and tomato skillet meal. Stir in 1/2 cup of cubed Velveeta for a cheesy version.
Slow Cooker Meatloaf
A moist meatloaf made with lean ground beef, onion, bell pepper, garlic and a crushed saltine binder, cooked in the slow cooker. Shown here with everyday mashed potatoes and southern green beans.
Hobo Stew
Hobo Stew, made with ground beef, potatoes, carrots, corn, green beans, beef stock, diced tomatoes and V-8 vegetable juice.
Beef Enchilada Casserole
Layers of corn tortillas with ground beef, enchilada sauce, cheese and other delicious seasonings, in a quick and easy casserole form.
Salisbury Steaks
A diner classic and a long-held family favorite, Salisbury steaks made from ground beef and a few seasonings, takes a shortcut with mushroom soup for gravy.
Beef Chili with Beans
A ground beef chili, made with ground chuck, onion, peppers, basic chili seasonings, and beans.
Creole Meatballs on Po'boys
Meaty, garlicky, beef and pork meatballs, shown here served on po'boy bread, dressed with a Creole sauce made from The Trinity and tomatoes, and topped with shredded Mozzarella cheese. Use these meatballs anyplace you usually do - with spaghetti, in sauces, casseroles, on sandwiches, alone or as an appetizer.
Beefy French Bread Pizza
French bread pizza, made with a mixture of ground beef, onion, bell pepper, Parmesan cheese & pizza sauce, topped with mozzarella cheese, spread on top of French bread and baked for gooey goodness! Great as a party appetizer or for a meal at home.
Shipwreck Casserole
Shipwreck casserole is a super easy to put together, layered casserole, made with ground beef, onions, potatoes, and veggies - here I used carrots, bell pepper and celery - and added a layer of rice.
7 Can Taco Soup
Seven can taco soup is such a quick and easy soup to throw together, with a well stocked pantry you can whip it up in no time.
Cajun Dirty Rice
Authentic dirty rice usually contains gizzards & livers, or some other form of giblets, but don't fret if you don't like them. You can simply increase the beef or pork and still have a wonderful meal. Take it easy on the Cajun seasoning though - add a little, taste and adjust!
Creole Meatloaf
A tender and tasty meatloaf, infused with the trinity, seared and cooked in a roux based tomato gravy.
Cajun Beef and Pork Boulettes
Cajun Beef Boulettes, a well seasoned beef and pork meatball, loaded with veggies and simmered in a roux based gravy. Boulettes usually include a little surprise of garlic, button mushroom or even an olive tucked up inside.
Stir Fried Cabbage with Ground Beef
A simple stir fry of ground beef, cabbage and rice, it's quick, easy and delicious!
Homemade No Bean Chili
A nice, thick highly seasoned, no beans, ground beef chili.
Ground Beef Casserole
A nicely seasoned, basic macaroni casserole made with ground beef, bell pepper, onion, garlic, Rotel tomatoes, Velveeta and sliced Provolone cheeses.
Hamburger Hot Dish
A basic ground beef casserole.
Pepper Jack Stuffed Burgers
Burgers stuffed with Pepper Jack cheese and flavored with an all purpose sauce like Country Bob's.
Meatball and Stuffing Bake
A casserole of meatballs, topped with green peas, a cream soup gravy and stuffing.
Onion Burgers
Juicy and delicious onion burgers made using an envelope of onion soup mix, tomato sauce and Worcestershire, are a long loved classic.
Easy Beef Nachos
Layered tortilla chips, with seasoned ground beef, cheese and topped with all of your favorite nacho toppings - chopped onion, tomatoes, jalapenos, black olives, sour cream, or choose your own favorite toppings.
American Shepherd's Pie
American Shepherd's Pie, known elsewhere around the world as Cottage Pie, made with ground beef, veggies, seasonings, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, topped with a layer of mashed potatoes. It's a great way to use leftovers!

Blog & Tour Update
Hi Guys!
Sorry to interrupt the flow of Wreckage, but I figured it was high time to update you on the coming book tour and also some of what's going on here with the blog.
First, the blog: Over the next month or so you'll see a few more guest posts from both John and my "Wrecksistant" Anne-Marie , since I'm up to my elbows in book promotion and tour stuff. (Yes, really. I promise I'm not just vegging on the couch playing dot Hack. As far as you know, anyway.) Still, I haven't missed a day's posting here in nearly a year, and I have no intention of breaking that record! So y'all be nice to my guest posters, hear? And if you're ever curious as to who wrote what, just look at the footer bar of each post.
The biggest and best news, though, is that Cake Wrecks is getting a makeover. Yes! We're finally getting a professionally designed look! I've grown rather attached to this Minima Blue, though, so that will still feature in the background. The new design will streamline our sidebars (we're even cutting ads - woot!), widen the posting area slightly, and look a whole lot nicer. Look for that to debut sometime in the next three weeks.
Next, book tour stuff:
First, let me tell ya: this tour is going to be *awesome*. We have some of the best bakers and bakeries signed up to provide amazing cakes at each stop, and so far between two and four hundred of you have RSVP'd for each location already. These are going to be some cuh-razy parties! You'll have lots of opportunity to meet and mingle with your fellow Wreckies, hang with me and John, ask us questions, show off your cupcakes, stuff your faces... you get the idea.
(Oh, and re: the cupcake contest: be sure to bring your cupcake on a small paper plate with your name written on it, k? Thaaanks.)
Also, good news for those of you in the San Francisco area: since we had an extra day there anyway, and since so many of you pointed out that our existing stop in Petaluma is a bit of a trek from the bay, we've added another stop in the city itself. To help us plan who will be attending which event, though, we've had to delete the old Petaluma RSVP page and put up two new ones. So, if you're planning to attend either (or both!), please RSVP again here: for San Francisco click here, and for Petaluma click here.
I wish I had similar good news for those of you in Atlanta and Boston, but I think Andrews McMeel is trying to NOT kill me on this, my very first book tour. We now have 12 stops in 16 days, and as someone who dislikes travel and public scrutiny, I can tell you that I may be thoroughly zombified by the end of it. (John and I will be in Atlanta for Dragon*Con next weekend, though, so stay tuned to my Twitter if you want to hunt us down and say hello!)
Also coming up is a "virtual" book tour, during which I will be "visiting" five of my favorite blogs and/or websites. I'll be introducing each of them to you a little closer to the "virtual tour," which will coincide with the "real" tour, and will hopefully introduce you to some neat new sites and "people." Heh. (Excessive quotation marks ftw!)
Well, I think that's it! Thank you so much, my loyal Wrecktators, for making all of these great things possible. I'm pretty overwhelmed right now, but your amazing e-mails, comments, and continued readership have made all the craziness and stress worthwhile. John and I can't wait to meet so many of you on the tour!
- Jen

GAINESVILLE - Florida coach Billy Donovan has been all over Mike Rosario all season.
After the last two games, Donovan has nothing but good things to say about his fifth-year senior guard.
Rosario scored a season-high 20 points to go along with six rebounds and four assists, and No. 8 Florida routed Southeastern Louisiana 82-43 on Wednesday night.
"I'm a fifth-year player. I'm experienced. I've been through the Big East and I've been through a lot of challenges in my life," Rosario said. "I just feel like coach Billy just challenges me every day and I look forward to it because this is my last go-around and I feel like my teammates need me to bring that consistency every day and I've been trying to do that."
Rosario helped the Gators (8-1) bounce back from a loss at No. 4 Arizona four days earlier, winning their only home game over a 40-day span.
Rosario made 8 of 13 shots, including 4 of 8 from 3-point range, and enjoyed his best game since transferring to Florida from Rutgers after the 2009-10 season. It came on the heels of a 16-point night against the Wildcats.
It's a big swing for a player Donovan criticized earlier in the season. Donovan called Rosario soft before the season, and then ripped him for turnovers and a lack of defensive effort last month.
Rosario has responded as well as Donovan expected.
"I think he has really conformed, he's worked and I think it's shown in his play," Donovan said. "He's much, much more disciplined, much more responsible, much more accountable. I feel like I know what I'm getting from him from day to day. That's the most difficult thing to deal with as a coach, when you have a talented player and you don't know who's showing up and who you're going to get from day to day.
"He's kind of put it together, become more responsible, reliable and accountable, and because of it, I think he's playing well."
Rosario was no match for the Lions (1-8), who have lost five straight.
He hit consecutive 3-pointers late in the first half, turning an eight-point game into a double-digit lead. He followed with two more baskets, giving him 10 consecutive points. Maybe his most impressive play came in the closing minute of the first half, when he grabbed a rebound and made an athletic move toward the basket.
He could have flirted with a triple-double, but Donovan played reserves for the final 5 minutes of the lopsided game.
Pat Young and Michael Frazier II were the only other Florida players in double figures. Young had 10 points and five rebounds; Frazier had 12 and six.
Scottie Wilbekin added nine points, six rebounds and four assists for Florida. Casey Prather and Will Yeguete chipped in eight points each.
Rosario, though, drew all the praise. His teammates have noticed a difference in his game.
"He's definitely being more aggressive with the basketball," Prather said. "He's believing in his ability. It's great for him and I'm happy for him."
Leading scorer Kenny Boynton had seven points while struggling for the third consecutive game. He was 1-of-7 shooting, making him 7 of 29 in the last three games. He has hit just 3 of his last 22 shots from behind the arc.
Brandon Fortenberry led Southeastern Louisiana with 15 points.
The Gators shot 57 percent in the first half and led 43-26. Things really got ugly after the break.
"With a team like that, they don't need much of an open door to break through," Lions coach Jim Yarbrough said.
The Lions went 7 minutes without a point in the second half, falling behind 50-26 before Fortenberry's driving layup.
About the only thing Southeastern Louisiana did well was handle Florida's press. The Lions had two turnovers at halftime and 13 for the game. They shot 29 percent for the game and made just 3 of 21 from behind the arc.
The Gators were much more efficient.
They shot 49 percent from the field, including 10 of 32 from downtown. Florida connected on 16 of 18 free throws and dominated the paint, scoring 30 points in the land and outrebounding Southeastern Louisiana 40-30.

I know it's a little late, but I thought I better write about one of the best days of my life while I still remember all of the details of the day. First let's start by saying that this day was an absolute dream come true for me and Meg. We got to meet baby white tigers! No joke! They were about 3 months old when we met them. They were twin babies, a boy (Titan) and a girl (Athena). They were magnificent and fun and awe-inspiring. I couldn't believe that we were in the presence of such great animals. Meg and my sweet step-dad Tim gave us this meeting as our Christmas present. Sufficeth to say it was the best present ever!
We got to feed them bottles, clean them up after said bottles, and play with them for an hour.
**Side note: Some of these pictures are a little blurry...these kitties moved A LOT so I tried my best**
(Meg & Titan meeting for the first time)
(Me & Athena getting acquainted)
(Me & Titan getting to know each other)
(Me showing the babies that I am ready to play...don't worry, they weren't hurting me at all...they were so sweet!)
Titan waiting for his bottle...
Meg cleaning Titan up after he "drank" his bottle. (He really just played games with Meg and got the goats milk EVERYWHERE)
It was an amazing day and it was so hard to walk out the door when our hour of play time was up. Thanks McTimmy (my Step-dad) for making Meg & my dreams come true!

Hi Mary, Thanks so much for giving us these instructions too. I really liked this quilt of yours and have some jelly rolls that would work up so quickly. Will chat more another time. Liz
You always have the NICEST quilts up on your site. I have made a couple of your patterns and have many more of yours I want to do.
Thanks so much for this latest one.
Thank you so much for sharing your quilt pattern(s) with us! I really like this quilt. It has so many possibilities. Of course, I like all your patterns…
~~ Amanda
thank you so much for sharing! Hugs
I love your quilt patterns …. especially the new Twisted 9 patch …. can't wait to do it. Really like doing scrappy quilts.
Hi Mary
What beautiful scrappy quilts.
Beautiful work.
Thanks for the great ideas.
and this Twisted Nine Patch, awesome.
Looking forward to trying them all but the Twisted firdt. lol
Great work.
I found your site today and was really excited to see this pattern. I am in the midst of making a quilt for my new great nephew and this was a wonderful way to set off the nine patches I had made and the stitcheries my mum had done.
Pingback: patch quilts
Hi Mary,
I really enjoyed making the Twisted 9 Patch quilt. Thank you for the instructions! I had so much extra fabric after making three quilts for my closest friends, and I decided it was time to make one for myself. I altered it a little bit; made it smaller and squared the ends of the triangles. I really like the way it turned out!
Thanks again,
Hi Mary, Thank you for being so generous with your patterns. I'm always looking for simple yet effective patterns, especially those that use the stash/scraps.
A quilting friend emailed me the directions for making Twisted Nine Patch, because she was really having trouble with it. You said to keep the 3.5×12 rect. seperated, but why is that important? I just feel like something is missing and can't figure out what. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Kathy
Kathy – (a bit late) I think what she means is to make 2 stacks of the rectangles (equal amounts) so that you cut the same number of "right" and "left" triangles. This is a great quilt with movement.
Just scanned your instruction sheets, great ideas.
Very Nice site Mary I love your work and am going to try the twisted 9 patch I will let you know how it turns out, thank you for the pattern..
l mostly make charity quilts from my scraps so it is lovely to have new ideas
thanks for the info on twisted blocks. I have an animal panel that I wanted to cut up and use this method. Now I know the best way to do it.
I just found your site. Totally love your patterns and very nice instructions. I was wondering about the twisted blocks, you say if our blocks are different sizes to add 5.5 inch to length, but do we need to add to the width too? or do we leave it the same 3.5 inch? Thanks for your great inspiration.

Apple Stages U-Turn on Executive Pay
Apple earlier this month began requiring its executives to hold triple their base salary in company stock, after opposing a very similar corporate governance measure proposed by a shareholder a month earlier. Jessica Lessin reports on The News Hub.

The tragedies of the five cyclists who lost their lives last week weigh heavily in my heart. Like so many who travel around London on two-wheels, I am frustrated by the lack of safe road design for cyclists' and the lack of urgency and action by the Mayor of London to act on this issue.
In the same week as those cyclists' lost their lives, I was bullied off the road by a taxi driver and nearly hit by a private bus whose driver failed to stop at a junction and check if traffic was passing before pulling out. I encounter experiences like these on my ride to and from work and I know full well that other cyclists encounter similar near misses.
Everyday I cycle I have the niggling thought that I could be injured due to circumstances beyond my control. In a morbid way I have been mentally preparing that I may one day be involved in a collision of some sort. It has always felt inevitable.
Last month that niggling thought became a reality when a speeding Range Rover driver in oncoming traffic took a right turn into me when heading north onto Gordon Square. The driver simply failed to stop to wait for me to pass before taking the turn. I was left lying in the middle of the road shocked and helpless watching the Range Rover speeding away from the scene.
|My injured right side caused by an irresponsible motorist and poor road design
If I hadn't have impulsively turned my handlebars left, I would certainly have been flung over the Range Rover. Instead, the right side of my body took the blow. My mobility in the weeks after was somewhat restricted and I had severe internal and external bruising and swelling. Even now, 6 weeks on I still can't lie on my right side nor apply any pressure on the area without feeling pain.
|Gordon Square (Source)
Unfortunately, it's of no surprise that the collision happened by Gordon Square near Torrington/Tavistock Place. A popular central cycle way connecting east to west, this segregated path has being lobbied by LCC Camden Cyclists as a 'victim of it's own success' and has been renamed in bike forums as the 'Lane of Death'.
I cycle the Lane of Death everyday and I am all too familiar with its design flaws affecting all types of road users. It was only a matter of time that I became a victim of its glaring inadequacies and the dangerous driving of an irresponsible, senseless motorist.
In the days after it made me think about the amount of times I have been told by friends and colleagues to 'ride safely!' But no matter how safe and responsibly I cycle, collisions like the one I was involved in are completely out of my own control. The responsibility of travelling safely seems to always be deflected from motorists' onto cyclists when in fact one can have no control over the reckless actions of others like the Range Rover driver who collided with me. Nor can one have control over the surrounding road design, which may have been a contributing factor to the cause of the collision. For this very reason, vulnerable cyclists need to be protected by adequate infrastructure and motorists need to be held accountable for their actions.
I don't feel proud to live in London and in a society which makes me feel that in some twisted distorted way that by being injured in a collision I have 'paid my dues' just for choosing to cycle. I feel like I have been punished for the method of transport I have chosen and that I deserve what I am given. The prejudice and abuse of cyclists on the roads and social media is endemic and needs to stop.
It is astounding that cyclists are still having to argue for safer roads. I have to wonder how many more people need to die before our voices will be heard. The Mayor of London needs to start listening and acting immediately. I am backing the London Cycling Campaign to urge the Mayor to take positive action to improve cycling infrastructure of well-known killer junctions. I encourage anyone who wants to live in a safer, healthier and happier city to do the same.
Please support the campaign and write to the Mayor of London here.
