Dan: Happy to report the recent review of the Virginia Tech-Carilion Medical School was a great success. Dan has decided to resume a limited patient practice in addition to his administrative duties and has begun seeing patients at Carilion Clinic. His willingness to reconnect with individual patients again indicates a remarkable degree of both healing and courage. Dan was chosen as the honoree for the 2013 Healing Arts Program – Carilion Clinic. He is busy with many areas of responsibility and yet still manages to keep afloat.
Gil: I am quite active with the Help Save The Next Girl Foundation. Our mission to promote education, victim/family outreach and legislation is ambitious and requires much of my time and attention here in Roanoke. I still derive great satisfaction form my work in wound care in Africa with OMNI, Orphan Medical Network International. Our 2013 OMNI medical team treated 4036! patients in Zambia during eight clinics this summer. The Morgan Harrington Educational Wing is full of healthy, motivated students who are poised to do great things in their country.
Alex: He is working hard and traveling a great deal in his position in NYC with Vogue. Alex has a remarkable breadth of both responsibility and creativity that serve him well professionally. I visit frequently and try and keep the fridge full and the laundry empty 🙂
Morgan: Still dead. So hard to believe that you were murdered, even after 4 years. How could someone hurt you, kill you? Just don't get it. Such a waste. After 4 years, we have acclimated to our "new reality", our triangulated family post you. Don't like it one darn bit, but we are trying to make it work. Help us. Please.
Kirby: Lordy, Lordy. This is a dog that needs psychiatric care and probably drugs as well. He sleeps with us, on my pillow! Sweet and good as gold. But let the door bell chime and he becomes a snarling, ferocious, crazed wolverine and usually bites – me! We need a dog whisper, or perhaps a tazer. (He may actually just be reacting to the indignity I continue to subject him to. Once as a joke, I moussed Kirby's hair up into a mohawk. Morgan thought it was hilarious. So I always tried to gel the pup's hair-do before she came home from VT to make her laugh. Kirby thinks that this doggie hair-fashion legacy should be dropped immediately – go figure.

$80! Woot!
That's how much I earned this month on Swagbucks. I didn't even try very hard, just kept up with the daily goals and got lucky with a couple of extra surveys!
Quoting conniejo75:
Dang. I never really got into it. Seemed like a lot of work for very little $
It does, but I've got a couple of hours after DH leaves for work before the kids and the sun get up. I spend about 60 to 90 minutes exploring SB and earning points. Special Offers (I only do free ones) makes it easier to rack up the points fast.
Quoting zildjans_mom:
I'm trying to get enough to do all my Christmas shopping this year. I've been doing it about a month and am 800 sb ugh I can do it tho lol
I use the SB toolbar (1 SB when your browser page loads each morning), Daily Poll (1 SB daily), NOSO (2 SB daily), and I get 10 points in Games daily (start Mahjongg Dimensions, let it run through time while you're doing something else, 2 SB awarded every other game). I do all of the "1 Swagbuck" activities on the home page, then go to Special Offers and run through each group to complete all of the free offers and "watch this video" offers. I check out all of the surveys on Paymentwall and Peanut Labs and usually qualify for at least one. Then I head to Surveys to see if I have any. SB Mail is another great place to get daily SB. Right now there's an offer to "watch the video to open the article" and that's 1 SB per video with a limit of 100 SB. I just click to open it 5 times (in different tabs), start the vids in each tab, and then within a minute I've got 5 more points. Close those tabs, start 5 more vids, let them run....repeat.
If I need more points, I'll start the Watch SB Videos. They can play in the background while I'm doing other things on the computer.
WOW! Something to look into! Ive heard of SB but never looked into it!

Even though it is a non narcotic, mind responds just like to Ultram as it would to a narcotic pain reliever. tramadol is another name that you might hear, because the generic name of Ultram. My doctor placed me on there for thirty day period. Upon my return visit, I described to my doctor the extra positive effects I was having on Ultram. Upon checking the actual company's web site and other web sites on the drug itself, there are lots of of positive benefits which can be verified by patients. My doctor stated there were, but Need be to find out if this was true or if perhaps it was all in my head. As Ultram was working, he placed me on it on an as needed basis. I was put on the yesterday by my doctor to treat diarrhea.

This habit is literally killing us. Really should accept more pain in lives and do without pills. If you discover this unbearable, Tramadol will be the strongest drug you should take.

Olympus Tough TG-2 iHS reviewed
Good review, I didn't read every line but it is a fair assessment IMO. My impressions: The button layout is tight, but its a small camera, I have man-hands, and overall functionality is very good. Thumbwheel detents are quite strong, I need dry hands to move the wheel, or a strong thumb nail. I think they could make the grooves a bit deeper for easier rotation. LCD screen is beautiful most of the time, but have to agree occasionally the reflections are hard to see through. I don't think any fixed LCD screen really is much better than this one. The body construction is impressively rugged, I have submersed the camera in both salt and fresh water, without fogging, without leakage.
The seals look pretty good and simple. I rinse the camera in tap water and dry the battery/card/charger door area before opening, just blow the area off and mop loose water with a paper towel. I'm really careful that no sand, hairs or debris is trapped in the seal area when the doors are shut, that would not only allow water to leak in but might damage the seal's effectiveness in the future. The seals appear to be easily removable/replaceable.
The picture resolution and video is a step down from my Panny FZ 150 (Canon A650, ie high quality p+s), sometimes soft to the point of being cartoon-like. But surprisingly, for scenes where tiny details are not important, the picture quality is just fine. Considering there is a chunk of glass (?) in the optical path keeping water out down to 50 feet, I'll accept the IQ. Exposure accuracy is good enough, and its easy enough to dial in exposure compensation if necessary. The super macro zoom function is outstanding, while the flash might be on the wimpy side, the built in LCD illuminator for close ups is genius. The special effects modes, well, I can say this much, they let you see things differently... I am loving the quick start up, focus speed and reasonable shutter response. In short this is a very fun, go anywhere camera, a perfect summer companion.

City can go all the way to Champions League final, says Nolito
Nolito believes Manchester City are good enough to reach the Champions League final.
City booked their place in the knockout rounds for a fourth successive year in midweek.
Spain international Nolito, who joined the club from Celta Vigo in the summer, said: "Last season the team reached the semi-finals of the Champions League, so to improve on that would mean to reach the final. I think Manchester City have the capacity to do better than last season.
"Both the Premier League and Champions League are very difficult competitions where any mistake can be crucial. We go little by little but we will see what happens."
Manager Pep Guardiola has been more circumspect when setting targets and even raised eyebrows earlier in the week by suggesting it could take 10 years for City to be considered genuine Champions League challengers.
But, speaking at his latest press conference, he said: "I said 10 years like I could say five or eight, because I am not a magician to know exactly how many years they need.
"The first step was to be four times in a row in the knockout round. After that, achieve semi-finals or finals.
"We will improve and maybe we will achieve, but these next steps will help for next year. Knowing we are able to arrive four times in a row - we have to do that again."
However, in terms of trophies, Guardiola claims there are no clearly defined goals.
"My target is to play better than the day before," said Guardiola, whose side face Burnley on Saturday. "We have to go game by game, step by step.
"Maybe we don't win the Premier League, but make a huge step in our vision, and to see our future will be clear. Or maybe we will win the Premier League, but play not good and it is complicated to see our future.
"It (the target) is to see that the team can be better and better every month."
City go into the latest round of Premier League fixtures third in the table, just a point off the top but one of five sides separated by only four points.
Forward Nolito said: "I've never experienced a level of competition like this one. That is why I think that the team who finally gets to win the Premier League deserves a lot of credit. It is a very tough competition.
"We need to go step by step. This is a very important time of season for us. December will be a very tough month, but that's how it is.
"We need to keep working and respect all of our opponents. Knowing that there will be difficult games and that we will have to do well in any way."

On March 27, Gov. Sam Brownback attended a prayer breakfast where one of the speakers was David Barton, whom The Topeka Capital-Journal incorrectly labeled a "controversial historian" rather than the more accurate term of "crackpot conspiracist."
There is a simple way to tell the difference. Controversial historians who have something to say tend to have college degrees, usually advanced ones, in fields related to history.
David Barton, on the other hand, holds a bachelor's degree in religious education from Oral Roberts University. His most recent book was given an award for being the "least credible history book in print" by real historians.
It does give us some insight as to why Brownback has pursued policies so transparently damaging to the state. He listens to historians who tell him what he wants to hear.
After the Lawrence Journal-World filed a Kansas Open Records Act request for his e-mail and cell phone records, the governor's office claimed he had neither and simply got information from his staff. It's clear that there's simply no way to get information counter to Brownback's ideas past his gauntlet of yes-men.
It's no wonder Cedar Crest is a bad idea generator since Brownback moved in. He's spent some effort building a firewall to prevent any good ideas from accidentally getting through.

UMass returns to Amherst for home opener against LIU Brooklyn
February 13, 2013
Filed under Sports, Women's Lacrosse
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
Leaving the California sun behind, it's home sweet home for the Massachusetts women's lacrosse team.
After getting outscored 25-22 in a season-opening road trip against No. 1 Northwestern and Southern California in Los Angeles, the Minutewomen (1-1) return to Amherst for their home opener against LIU Brooklyn on Saturday evening at McGuirk Alumni Stadium.
UMass coach Angela McMahon has never faced the Blackbirds in her time as coach, giving a sense of unfamiliarity entering the game. And she believes a spotlight on fundamentals is the key to success against a new opponent.
"I think we (should) just put the focus on us and the things we need to do to be the best team we can possibly be," McMahon said. "Focusing on the little things, details, specific sets we want to run and just making sure we're taking care of business on our end. If we do that, then we should be successful."
LIU, who went 1-15 last year with a 1-8 mark in Northeast Conference play, only graduated two seniors last year, both of which were goalkeepers.
Despite youth in net, the Blackbirds retained their top four scorers.
Attackmen Shakoya Smith, Ashley Delaney, Brittany Rader and Caitlin Farrell headline LIU's offense heading into its season-opener against UMass, combining for 132 points last season.
However, the Minutewomen returned their top two scorers from last year's Atlantic 10 championship team in Katie Ferris and Lauren Terracciano.
Following up a tough season-opening loss against Northwestern with an 18-9 beatdown of USC, junior defenseman Kelsey McGovern hopes her team can carry that momentum into Saturday's game.
"I think it's really big that we start (with a) win at home and keep that momentum going throughout the season," McGovern said. "We can always improve, but I think things are going really well."
McMahon said establishing a home-field advantage is crucial, as well as playing in top form for a full 60 minutes.
"It's really important that we start off on a good note and start finding our chemistry on the field," McMahon said. "There's just pure excitement to play at home. It's something we take a lot of pride in, our home games, and trying to stay undefeated at home is always a goal for us."
With inexperienced players finding playing time early in the season, McMahon said that her team is showing bright spots.
"We're getting there," McMahon said. "It's definitely a work in progress, but I think having the opportunity to go on the road and spending that time together, both on and off the field, really helps. We're just in the beginning stages here."
McMahon said another positive of the young campaign is the defensive play of McGovern.
Totaling eight ground balls, 10 draw controls and five forced turnovers, McGovern is raising the team's confidence in addition to making her mark on the scoresheet, according to McMahon.
"Hustle stats are kind of what we try to pride ourselves in as a team," McMahon said. "Coming out of last year, we were one of the leading teams in the country with draw controls and that's something we wanted to put a focus on because we graduated our main person on the draws."
Transitioning from midfield halfway through her sophomore year, McMahon said McGovern's size, aggressiveness and athleticism, as well as intelligence and leadership have allowed her to make a huge impact in her new role.
McGovern said that while her team subscribes to a brand of unselfish lacrosse, they are no strangers to tenacious play.
"The little things are really important to me, if I get a goal, great, but that's what the offense is supposed to do," McGovern said. We are pretty gritty, that's kind of our (modus operandi) so I don't have to worry about that."
Confident in her squad's abilities, McGovern said the team is ready for Saturday's matchup.
"It's hard to beat us at home so we're excited," McGovern said.

What did Stephens do?
Fri., March 15, 2013
Although I have now read several articles regarding Scott Stephens, I am still confused and more than a little worried. The article on March 3 (as well as Shawn Vestal's article) seem to indicate that Stephens was put on leave from the Spokane Police Department for a veiled threat. Obviously, the man was upset about the changes his career faced, and certainly may have made inappropriate statements. Does that warrant being placed on leave? What else happened?
Over the 11 months that he was interim chief, he did a good job, according to Mayor David Condon and the media. Suddenly, he is demoted two levels because a position was removed. It appears to be an unwarranted demotion.
I don't believe Condon is disclosing enough information. It has been two months since he said he would get this investigated, and the public informed. Now, we get to pay an outsider to investigate because Condon wants to ensure there is no internal bias. Sounds like there already has been internal bias.
As for the changes in the police department, have they really addressed the crime rate, Mayor Condon? It certainly does not appear so, yet. Don't forget, we vote again in twoyears.

Last week Sen. Gillibrand (D,NY) introduced S 3188, a bill to increase the authorized number of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) Civil Support Teams. The bill would increase the current authorized number (23 to 55) of CST to 25 to 57 {§1043(a)(2)}. The current number is based upon a statutory requirement to have at least one CST in each State, territory and the District of Columbia.
There is no indication in the bill of where the two additional teams would be deployed, but I would expect that Sen. Gillibrand intends for at least one to be stationed in the New York City area. It seems like the fact that California has two teams and New York only one may be further aggravating the concern that the 'largest terrorist target' in this country does not have its own CST.
According to the National Guard WMD-CST web page the role of the teams are to:
Assess hazards, advise civil authorities, and facilitate military support during emergencies and incidents of suspected weapons of mass destruction or other disasters. Advise civilian responders on appropriate actions through on-site testing and expert consultation, and assist and facilitate the arrival of follow-on state and federal military forces.
I've long maintained that these teams may have an important role in responding to terrorist attacks on large chemical facilities or catastrophic accidents at such facilities. It would be nice to hear that such facilities have engaged these National Guard units in the emergency response planning process for such incidents.

Cowboys see Felix Jones the scatback running Hog wild this season
June 9, 2009 at 1:09 a.m.
By Charean Williams
McClatchy Newspapers
CARROLLTON, Texas — Felix Jones missed football late last season. He missed his teammates. He missed the games. He even missed practice.
Injuries make football grow fonder.
"Not being able to play football for seven or eight months, that's tough on a football player, especially one who loves the game," the Dallas Cowboys' running back said.
Jones was one player who couldn't wait for organized team activities to begin. Eight months after a shortened rookie season, Jones is back on the practice field and finally feeling like himself again.
"He's looked like the old Felix," running backs coach Skip Peete said.
Jones, the 22nd overall choice in 2008, was a candidate for rookie of the year honors last season when he injured his left hamstring Oct. 12 against the Arizona Cardinals. While rehabbing his hamstring, Jones tore a ligament beneath his left big toe. Surgery ended his season after 266 rushing yards, 10 receiving yards and 434 return yards.
"I used it as a learning process," Jones said. "Things like that are going to happen in such a physical sport. You never know what you can do to hurt yourself. You find out in different ways. It's a learning process for me, figuring out different ways to get better without messing myself up even more."
Wade Phillips, Jason Garrett and Peete have been charged with finding more ways to use Jones, whom some in the Cowboys' organization have compared to Hall of Famer Tony Dorsett. Despite playing in only six games — including one in which he didn't have a carry or a catch — Jonesproved to be a home-run threat, with kickoff returns of 98 and 43 yards and runs of 60 and 33 yards. Jones averaged 8.9 yards per carry and 27.1 yards per kickoff return. He just didn't get enough of them.
"It's a little different when you have a guy who's explosive like that and all of sudden those explosive plays are gone," Peete said. "You've got to find them somewhere else. We obviously missed him a lot."
The Cowboys now are trying to keep up with Jones.
They are experimenting with the single wing in hopes of getting Jones some favorable matchups. The Cowboys have nicknamed the formation the Razorback, instead of the Wildcat, in honor of Jones' college. Jones and Darren McFadden, whom the Oakland Raiders selected fourth overall last year, successfully ran the formation at Arkansas under assistant coach David Lee, a former Cowboys assistant who introduced the Wildcat to the NFL last year as an assistant with the Miami Dolphins.
"At Arkansas, I only had a couple of guys to beat (out of the single wing)," Jones said. "It's better than trying to beat all 11 of them at once. It'll help me out a lot, and I believe once we get better out of it, it'll be one of our weapons."
Jones also has lined up in the slot and has practiced fielding punts.
If he's healthy, Jones never again will go without having his number called on offense as he did in a Sept. 28 loss to the Washington Redskins. The Cowboys are going to find ways to get him the ball.
"His speed is what we all refer to, but the obvious is his ability to see all the cars on the highway," said Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, who made the decision to select Felix Jones over Rashard Mendenhall. "... My expectations for Felix are really to have his touches upped significantly, certainly if you take into account that injury situation last year. He'll be a major 'touch factor' in this offense. He will be."

I'm starting a workshop on the email@example.com mailing list about document-style web services with XForms. Please join that list if you want to join me in building prototype XForms app with X-Smiles as a testbed. Thanks, Sebastian Intro: XForms editing XHTML What you can do with X-Smiles 0.6: Thought about what we've built here from a different, perhaps bizarre, angle: 1) An XForm that edits XHTML pages. 2) Worse, an XForm that edits existing XHTML pages containing existing HTML forms. 3) Extreme, an XSLT that transforms existing XHTML pages containing HTML forms automatically into XForms equivalents (useful for legacy migration). Here is an XHTML page that runs in my IE6 containing HTML forms: [1] http://webaccess.mozquito.com/tt/sample2.html Here the XForm that uses [1] "as is" as its instance in X-Smiles 0.6: [2] http://webaccess.mozquito.com/tt/sample2.fml If you change something and press submit, the updated XHTML page is saved to [3] and can be seen with the changes "as is" again with IE6: [3] http://webaccess.mozquito.com/features/sample3.html If this was possible, and I haven't done the XSLT yet, one could automatically convert XHTML pages into XForms that always reference themselves as instance data, essentially a generic way to edit web pages over the web just from a browser, by just applying an alternate XML stylesheet declaration (one line) to every page assiging this special XSLT and viewing it with X-Smiles or any other XForms browser. - Sebastian :-)Received on Wednesday, 17 July 2002 19:35:23 UTC

A beautiful voice with simple keyboard backup is the classic jazz lounge combination and no one in Tokyo does it better than Andrea Hopkins and Jonathan Katz
Andrea Hopkins started her singing career in Atlanta where she made a name for herself before hitting the Asia hotel circuit, finally landing in Tokyo. The busy singer has performed at virtually every major live house, club and hotel from Tokyo to Kyoto and has recorded with artists ranging from Japanese pop idol Ayumi Hamasaki to rock icon Elvis Costello. She handles dance songs, funk, and hip-hop. But her first love is jazz. "When I am doing Jazz, I feel like I am so free," she says.
Pianist Jonathan Katz is a ubiquitous feature of Tokyo's music scene, leading small groups, backing the likes of Ray Brown, Lew Tabackin and Joe Lee Wilson, and more recently heading his own big band. In addition to cutting a lengthening list of acclaimed CDs he has toured North America, even appearing at New York's famed Blue Note. Andrea and Jonathan will be playing a selection of jazz and pop standards. It's sophisticated jazz the way it's supposed to be.

This trend is my favourite at the minute and with seeing so many 'sliders and socks' pictures on instagram.. I had to post this new look.
My whole outfit is believe it or not.. from Primark. The leather-look joggers, the small black vest and the white sliders. It's only the white ribbed jumper & cloak that is from Topshop.
I have created a monochrome Sports Luxe inspired outfit and one that I would wear most days for its versatility. Simple yet stylish. My style is slowly evolving and I'm loving how much it has changed, just over the past few months. I still love my gothic grime, but this trend is just perfect this Spring and I'm loving searching all these sporty sheek looks on Pinterest!!

Hair today, gone tomorrow!
Joe Jonas debuted his new hair or, rather, lack of hair on Instagram last night.
"Oops," he wrote, along with four pictures chronicling the path to his boldly buzzed look.
But we're not so sure his shaven style was a mistake. It seems pretty unlikely that he would go through the trouble of taking a before shot if he was simply getting a cut to maintain his shaggy-on-the-top, trim-on-the-sides style.
Plus, the timing for a fuss-free buzz cut perfect, seeing as the hot summer season is just around the corner. And judging from the video—yes, there's a video showcasing the transformation from every angle—his stylist sure did seem to shave with a pretty steady hand.
Whatever the case, judging from Jonas' satisfied look in the final shot, we'd label hashtag this as a case of #nohairdontcare.

Conroy won't miss a beat filling in for Rockets' Lowry
Guard knows offense because of stint as Viper
Published 6:30 am, Sunday, January 31, 2010
Will Conroy believed he was done with life as the Crash Davis of the D-League. At least, he knew he had done all that could be asked.
He was the league's all-time leader in scoring, assists, minutes played, free throws made and free throws attempted. He knew he was ready for the show.
The Rockets knew it, too. But as nice as that affirmation might have been to hear as they told him they were cutting him from the team, Conroy knew he was being cut. He returned home to Seattle to weigh offers in Spain, China and Italy, as well as a return to the NBA Development League.
But the Rockets thought that eventually they would need another point guard. In the first season of their partnership running the Rio Grande Valley Vipers, they had the Vipers trade for Conroy's rights, bringing him back to the D-League on Dec. 30 so he could keep running their offense for their team.
Get up to speed
Saturday, a day after the Rockets had called him up, "eventually" arrived.
Guard Kyle Lowry suffered a sprained left knee Friday night. MRI results did not show any further damage, allaying the team's fears it could have been much worse. Lowry will be re-evaluated in a week, with a return likely Feb. 9 in Miami or a week later after the All-Star break.
Until then, the 6-2 Conroy has what he wanted — a chance.
"It's an unfortunate blessing," Conroy, 27, said. "It happens in this game. I don't know the diagnosis, but he's a big part of this team. I'll try to fill his shoes until he gets back. I feel I'm ready. Coach (Rick Adelman) has the confidence in me being ready. That's the reason why he brought me back here."
Conroy is expected to play against the Phoenix Suns tonight before his first full practice with the team. He did go through training camp with the Rockets, showing enough to become a test case of the potential value in buying a D-League affiliate.
"I think it's really helpful," Adelman said of Conroy's stint with the Vipers. "I think that's why they got him to Rio Grande, so he can play and understand. He picks it up really quick here. It's a huge factor for us that we don't have to indoctrinate him. He already knows it.
"It's just sharpening it up and exposing him to things we're trying to do right now that we didn't do in the preseason."
But Lowry had an impact far more significant than the backup to the team's leading scorer. He and Aaron Brooks often played together, but Lowry also has become vital to changing tempo and momentum, as he did before and even after he was hurt in the second quarter Friday, scoring 11 points in seven minutes as the Rockets went from a 10-point deficit to a two-point lead.
"His statistics don't compare to the impact Kyle has on our game," Adelman said. "That's what the other guys have to do. They can't be observers. Whether it's getting a rebound, getting a loose ball, everybody had to do a little bit more.
"He's the key guy off the bench. He gives us the energy. He pushes the ball. He keeps the tempo up. He's great at rebounding. He's a guy who makes a huge impact every time he goes in the game. We're going to miss that, but other people are going to have to step up. I really expect us to be able to do it. I'm glad it's not for a long time."
Budinger benefits
But the injury trimmed one of the Rockets' strengths. If Conroy does not play the 25 minutes per game Lowry averages, that likely will mean more playing time for Chase Budinger along with Brooks, who averages 35 minutes.
"I can do whatever coach asks me to do, except play center and forward," Brooks said. "If they need me to play 47 minutes, I'll do that, too — 48 sounds bad."
But Brooks said he believes Conroy can handle his new responsibilities, giving the Rockets an all-Seattle point-guard tandem. Conroy is certain he is ready, as if his return the day Lowry was hurt is more proof.
"It is," he said, "unreal timing, right?"

Dr. Gridlock - I live near the East Falls Church metro, but have never used the parking lot there. I have family in town this Friday, and was wondering if the lot is normally full following rush hour, or if I would be able to get there in the mid/late morning to park the car for some downtown sightseeing during the day. Do you or the chatters have any insights? Thanks!
I invite others to comment, but I think you will have a very difficult time parking at East Falls Church just after the morning rush.
East Falls Church has only all-day 422 parking spaces, and Metro stats show it's typically at capacity. You might be better off driving to West Falls Church, which has about 2,000 spaces.
There is a newish redline driver (I've had him a few times now) who won't stop talking. He announces the next station stop usually 2-3 times, what side the doors will open on, the time (at every single station), and sometimes the date. Last time I had him, he was quiet for about 30 total seconds from Union Station to Farragut North. I just want to read my book! I feel badly complaining about him, but it's driving me insane. Should I contact Metro?
You can certainly contact the Metro customer service center, 202-637-1328. You'd want to tell them the number of the car you were riding in, and give a time.
But I think many riders are going to find it difficult to criticize a train operator who appears to be into his job. Much more typical are rider complaints about a lack of information coming from the cab.
I'll be on the east side of the Red line Wednesday at about 11:30 am. What's the state of parking at the new Glenmont garage at that time? I know the older one is full by 7 am. Should I bet on a spot at the new garage? What about Wheaton?
Here again, I invite travelers to share their experiences with Metro parking. I don't have a garage by garage breakdown for Glenmont parking, but you should be able to find space. Glenmont does not normally fill up.
We're driving to the Outer Banks in a few weeks. last year we avoided I-95 South in favor of a different route to avoid traffic slowdowns. Can we brave it in April or should we avoid it again?
That's difficult to predict. Easter is April 20, so you know you'll have some heavy long-distance traffic around then, and I-95 in Northern Virginia doesn't need much help to get jammed.
The 95 Express Lanes in the middle of I-95 will be under construction for the rest of this year, though the disruptions are unlikely to be as severe as they were in 2013. If you can leave early in the morning, you will be better off.
By the way, in watching the traffic cameras and maps during rush hours, I notice that Friday mornings tend to be on the light side for highway travel in the DC area, compared to other weekdays.
Go to Ballston or Clarendon and park in a garage. There's a garage in Clarendon off N Highland St. that is reasonably priced and only a block from the Clarendon Metro. EFC is impossible. We have been on the waitlist for years for a reserved parking space, and we believe that we will never get a space there, given the planned redevelopment.
This person just needs to wear headphones...
Why does Metro complain about lack of funds when it seems that they allow 5-8% of people to ride without paying? Several of us in my office agree that the "SmartCards" don't take off all the money they are supposed to. I only ride metro to work, each month I get my benefits put on my card and at the end of the month any extra disappears. I can look at my time and attendance sheet and tell within 5 mins every ride I took in the last month and between which stations. Generally at the end of the month I have 5-8% too much left on my card. Same thing for others in my office. Has anyone at metro every checked how well the SmartCards work under actual conditions?
Very interesting. I have never, ever heard a complaint that too little is being taken off the cards. (I have heard the opposite.)
More of a gripe than a question, but as a pedestrian, one of the most infuriating things is other pedestrians who walk in groups or side-by-side so that others can't go past them (from either direction). I still haven't decided if this is blatant rudeness or just obliviousness. I decided to take a stand and refuse to stop and let these groups pass when they're the ones being rude and hogging the sidewalk, which results in me being run into. Any other solutions?
I kind of like your solution. Just make sure you're well-planted.
I've never had a problem parking in the new Glenmont garage after rush hour. It just takes forever to loop around and around until you get to the top. :) I never attempt to park in the old garage anymore.
Please, for the sake of us all, if you want peace and quiet on the Red Line, buy some noise cancelling head phones. I have not had the pleasure of riding with this driver, but I can only imagine that having someone who cares about his job and giving plenty of information to riders, especially new riders, is a good thing. We need more operators like him. I also understand that some people like peace and quiet, and I can understand how it might be distracting to you, but please consider noise cancelling headphones to stay in your own little world and let's try to encourage more audible and comprehensible announcements on Metro.
I'll get up and move when the person next to me decides he needs to call a friend with a status update on his transit ride. So I think I'm pretty sensitive to noise on rail cars. But I don't find reports from the operator to be anything but welcome.
I'm pretty sure I haven't heard this particular operator, but more generally, the train operator's comments can put riders in a good mood. (Unless they're whining at us to stay away from the doors. But that wasn't the case here.)
So, we see the news that the new metro line is delayed yet again by completely avoidable problems. Is no one overseeing this project? Are there no inspectors? Is there no auditor?
There are all of those things. I think the situation with the hundreds of speakers needing to be replaced is ridiculous. But other things, like making sure the automatic train controls work, I just say, "Take your time and make sure it's right."
There seem to be plenty of people who didn't know they needed the Silver Line till they started hearing about the delays in opening. I'm still wondering how heavily used the new stations will be just after the opening.
Don't bother trying after rush hour. My suggestion if you live near that stop and want to park during the day is to go to the Ballston Common shopping mall garage (entrance is off Glebe Road just past the Mazda dealer south of Wilson Boulevard). It's surprisingly inexpensive, and there is a covered walkway from the mall to the building adjacent to the Metro stop. Just follow the signs.
Be wary of the Wheaton lot. There has been a spate of car break ins at that garage and Metro Police are at a loss on how to investigate. Older cars especialy without anti-theft ignition locks are targeted by thieves to try and take them for joy rides and to head outside of the lot. I'd try and park at Forest Glen if I were you or go back over to the Western edge.
If I believed my card wasn't being charged enough (or was being charged too much), I'd setup an account on the Smartrip website, which allows you to see a breakdown by trip, exactly how much you're getting charged and where/when you got on and off. From the Metro homepage, click on "Login" in the "Smartrip Card" box near the bottom center of the page.
I have always found parking at Glenmont in the mid morning once the reserved spots are released for others to park in them.
Dr. G., Previously on the WMATA site, a traveler on the Next Bus Arrivals page could click the Live Map link for any bus route and then check boxes to add more routes for comparison. This option is now gone. Any place we can get or recreate that useful function? Thanks!
I was not aware of this comparative feature and can ask about that.
The Live Map feature itself is very interesting. Here's a link so people can see what we're talking about. Just pick your route and click Live Map on that page.
One thing I like about the Live Map is that it shows me where the buses are rather than estimating how many minutes away from my stop they are. I think the estimates are what messes up Next Bus for many riders.
There has been a lot of discussion in this forum urging VDOT to provide drivers with travel time information so drivers can make an informed decision about whether to pay the toll for the 495 Express lanes and 95 Express lanes. VDOT is now providing this information for 95. However, there has been less attention to the fact that VDOT has stacked the deck in favor of the investors, who now control the Express lanes. For example on 95, the speed limit in the Express lanes is 65 all the way, but the mainline drops to 60 north of Dumfries and then drops to 55 in northern Prince William County. This is despite the fact that the Express lanes are a cluttered mess with construction activity, but the speed limit remains 65. By contrast, the mainline through Fairfax is wide with 4 lanes and well lit, but has a widely disobeyed speed limit of 55. The obvious remedy is that VDOT should raise the mainline speed limit to 65 so the investors, who control the Express lanes, have to compete on a level playing field. The Virginia State Police should not be used to write tickets so a bunch of wealthy investors get extra money from their investment. And the same should go for 495.
I think you may be a little ahead of things on I-95, if I'm reading you right. The 95 Express Lanes aren't scheduled to open till early 2015. In the meantime, we still have the HOV lanes in the middle of 95. The speed limit is 65, but it's been that way for a long time.
The 495 Express Lanes on the Beltway did open with a 55 mph speed limit, which later rose to 65. To me, that was mostly PR. In all the times I drove the express lanes, I never saw anybody (besides me) going 55. And I don't see anybody (besides me) going 65 now.
I certainly do agree with you that VDOT should display the trip times for one set of lanes vs. the other, on the Beltway and on I-95. The top complaint I get about the Beltway express lanes is that drivers can't make the instant cost-benefit analysis at the decision points for the lanes.
I hate driving in NoVa and try to avoid it, and now I've gained another reason to support my hatred. I got a notice saying I owed money for using the 495 express lanes. The toll was 60 cents and it said I had gotten on and off within the SAME minute. I have no idea because I have no recollection of being in the lanes, and certainly wouldn't do it on purpose. But 60 cents, fine. What made me mad was the $12+ admin fee they also charged me. What!! I thought about fighting it but their website was very clear that they don't entertain "accidental" lane usage claims so I paid up. How are they allowed to charge that much more than the actual toll?!
Guessing here: It reads like you entered the lanes on the north side and got off for the Dulles Toll Road or one of the Tysons exits. That's a short trip at a relatively low toll.
I had a letter recently from a driver who inadvertantly got into the express lanes and got off at Westpark Drive in Tysons. This driver also did not have an E-ZPass.
The thing is the lanes were built to be used by E-ZPass drivers. They're not set up to routinely deal with video tolling (taking pix of plates) the way Maryland's Intercounty Connector is. So the administrative fee for a violation is much higher.
If you go to the Using the Lanes page on the 495 Express Lanes Web site, you can see driver's-eye videos showing what it looks like to enter and exit the express lanes.
"The 495 Express Lanes on the Beltway did open with a 55 mph speed limit, which later rose to 65. To me, that was mostly PR. In all the times I drove the express lanes, I never saw anybody (besides me) going 55. And I don't see anybody (besides me) going 65 now." That's true, but the layout of the lanes, and constant enforcement make Express Lanes drivers easy pickens for state troppers. I can't tell you the last time I saw VA State Police running radar on the main lanes of the beltway, but they're running radar on the Express Lanes at least once or twice a week.
One reason, I think, is that the express lanes were built with cut-outs where troopers can station their cruisers off the shoulders. Radar patrols on the regular lanes are more dangerous. Plus, to be practical, an enforcement operation like that on the congested regular lanes of the Beltway is going to slow down traffic so much it creates its own dangerous situation.
What's the point of encouraging cyclist, such as myself, to utilize bike lanes? Over the weekend I was biking north along N.Hampshire Avenue from Dupont Circle towards U Street. I was stopped in the Bike lane, waiting at a red light, when I was rear-ended by a lovely lady who had very choice words for me and wanted to make a right turn on Red at Q Street. It's fun to be the cyclist who follows the rules then gets cussed out for doing it.
Hope you cussed back.
My husband and I take I-66 east to work by entering the the HOV access ramp from Monument Road (which is open only to to eastbound drivers during the morning rush hour). For 2 consecutive days, while driving down the ramp, my husband and I have seen a car drive up the ramp from I-66 westbound. I don't know if these drivers are doing this intentionally, as it is hard to miss the barriers that are down and the overhead digital signs that say "Closed." I'm scared we're going to get into a head-on collision as these cars are essentially going the wrong way down a one-way road. Is there any way to increase driver awareness - or increase police presence - to this dangerous activity?
Doesn't seem that a driver, or drivers, could be doing this by mistake -- not with the signs and barriers in place. If you see this again and you've got a cell phone, call #77 and report it to the state police.
Do you know what the plan is for pedestrians leaving the H Street Exit of Union Station once the streetcar is in place? Right now the south H Street sidewalk on the Hopscotch bridge is closed for streetcar construction but it is extremely dangerous to cross the street to the north side across speeding traffic. At present there is no other way to get to the H Street corridor on foot. How are pedestrians going to get from Union Station to the streetcar platform in the future?
Last time I was out there, I paid more attention to how I was going to get from the bridge into the north side of Union Station. (That wasn't bad. I just have to remember to stay on the walkway to the left and avoid the intercity buses on that leve.) I'll have to go back and check the crossing of H Street.
Last week I was on a 16 bus heading to Pentagon City and there were a group of incredibly obnoxious teenagers using language in a way I don't appreciate hearing (but not bad enough for me to get off the bus). This bothered one of the fellow passengers so much that she asked the driver to call the police, which he pulled over and did. The kids heard this and ran off and we had to sit and wait for the police to come to file a report (I waited for 10 minutes until I caught a cab). Is it normal protocol to delay a bus for one passenger to file a report (especially for a non-violent action where the kids are no longer in the area)? How long are the other passengers to be inconvenienced for this?
This may be like the previous exchange concerning the chatty Metrorail operator in the sense that riders may come down on either side.
Many riders complain to me that no action is taken in response to unruly young people. Here, an action was taken.
Seems to me that once the police are called to respond, the bus ought to wait for the police.
Hello Dr. Gridlock, I notice during the morning and evenings that there are Fairfax County police cars tucked in spots along the 495 express lanes where the speed limit is 65 mph. However, in the the regular lanes, at certain times, cars are zooming past at 70 - 80 mph; no police to be found.
I'd be surprised to know those are Fairfax County police. The state police are assigned to patrol the express lanes, under a contract with the lanes' operator.
I'd certainly like to see more enforcement of traffic laws in the regular lanes, as long as it could be done in a way that's safe for both the enforcers and the motorists.
I realize that because of the construction of the new I-95 Express Lanes, the current HOV lanes are sometimes closed overnight on weekends to accommodate construction. However, the timing of the lane closures appear to be completely random. I frequently leave downtown between 8 PM an 10 PM, and it's a complete crap shoot as to whether or not the southbound HOV lanes will be open. Is there a posted schedule somewhere that I can see on what days the lanes are closing early? I'm already subscribed to the VA Megaprojects e-mail, but those only note the major full closures, and don't typically detail when the lanes are closed an hour or 2 early.
Each week, VDOT puts out a lane closings bulletin for the megaprojects. It covers all days and all hours for that week, and it's enormous.
Has anybody gotten them to work on Metro? Mine seem to be good for a constant airline hum, but sporadic Metro chatter comes through. I use regular headphones.
I use an iPod myself. Let's me listen to books and podcasts, rather than white noise. I worry a little about these things. I'd like to cancel out some of the cellphone chatter, but don't want to miss messages from the train operator.
I feel completely cheated by the Beltway Express Lanes. I drive every weekday from Maryland all the way down to Springfield on the Beltway, and have not had a reason to use the Express Lanes. About a month ago, I finally had a situation where I though the Express Lanes would help me make an appointment. When I crossed the bridge on the outer loop, the variable signs indicated traffic delays all the way to Braddock Road (Exit 54), and the traffic was pretty bad coming across the bridge. In addition, the toll for the Express Lanes was one of the highest I had ever seen ($7.50 for the full length), so I made the decision that the traffic must have been pretty bad through Tysons. Boy was I wrong. I made the move to the left and entered the Express Lanes, and ended up in Springfield next to 2 of the same cars I was next to coming across the American Legion Bridge, except they made it to Springfield at the same time without spending a dime. I pleaded my case to Transurban, and even offered a compromise to pay an the average toll ($3-$5) since I did ultimately make the decision to pay, but they were completely unwilling to negotiate. I also was not satisfied that it took 8 business days for the toll to show up on my account so I could appeal it. Transurban represents itself as customer friendly through all of their promotion and praise in the Washington Post, but when dealing with them from a customer's perspective, they are anything but friendly.
I don't see how they could negotiate tolls based on whether the drivers think they matched the speed of cars in the regular lanes.
Other stuff, yeah, if you got caught in a traffic jam in the express lanes, that's worth a call.
Many drivers have told me that they use the counter-intuitive reasoning that says, The higher the toll for the express lanes, the more it must be worth it, because the regular lanes must be jammed.
I understand the thinking, but it's a bit of a bank shot, and not necessarily an accurate reflection of traffic conditions in the regular and express lanes.
The tolls rise and fall to manage the flow of traffic in the express lanes. That doesn't tell you much about the regular lanes.
Last week you took a complaint from somebody who claimed that he couldn't exit a Frederick garage because he didn't have a credit card. The more I thought about it, the odder it seemed. It turns out that ALL of Frederick's public garages have automated pay stations that accept payment by card or CASH. You only need a card to pay at the exit GATE itself. Your commenter was just upset that the world didn't work the way he wanted it to. The older I get, the more I realize that this attitude is at the root of many life difficulties. http://www.cityoffrederick.com/Index.aspx?NID=207
Thanks for the follow-up on this. I should have suspected this was the way the system worked. Parking garages with on-foot cash payment stations are common now in the D.C. area.
They aren't intended to cancel out all noise. As the prior question noted, they're excellent for filtering out low-frequency or ambient noise (such as airline engines, or a building's HVAC system) that will cause fatigue. But they don't block out things like loud conversation or PA systems or the like. Even on a plane, that would be undesirable: You sometimes need to be able to hear the announcements from the cockpit. Or consider if you use them at home. You probably still want to be able to hear the phone ringing if someone calls.
My girlfriend currently commutes from Anacostia to Tyson's Corner and it is awful, awful, awful. We have been waiting, waiting, waiting for the Silver Line to be finished. I hope it is done soon because the commute is taking years off my gf's life.
Still a pretty long commute. About 45 minutes probably. But definitely better than the current situation.
For travelers who would like to see estimates on Silver Line trips to various destinations, use this link.
I'm guessing late spring for when the new line opens.
Like the first poster about pedestrians, I am peeved by groups the span the sidewalk. When I'm walking (often by myself to/from the Metro), I stay as far right as possible and if a large group is coming towards me, I don't stop. Eventually, the person closest to me will realize a collision will occur and slows and moves to his/her right (my left) so we can pass. I would LOVE to see paint lines on the sidewalks just like the roads. A center line and arrows so people will stay to the right. It's really not that hard a concept.
Okay, now I think we're going too far. Walking shouldn't be like a contact sport. Most of us aren't wearing pads.
I share your annoyance at confronting a solid phalanx of oblivious pedestrians. They ought to yield. But I wouldn't instigate collisions.

When Walter Mosley burst onto the literary scene in 1990 with his first Easy Rawlins mystery, Devil in a Blue Dress - a combustible mixture of Raymond Chandler and Richard Wright - he captured the attention of hundreds of thousands of readers (including future president Bill Clinton). Eleven books later, Easy Rawlins is one of the few private eyes in contemporary crime fiction who can be called iconic and immortal. In the incendiary and fast-paced Little Green, he returns from the brink of death to investigate the dark side of L.A.'s 1960s hippie haven, the Sunset Strip.
We last saw Easy in 2007's Blonde Faith, fighting for his life after his car plunges over a cliff. True to form, the tough WWII veteran survives, and soon his murderous sidekick Mouse has him back cruising the mean streets of L.A., in all their psychedelic 1967 glory, to look for a young black man, Evander "Little Green" Noon, who disappeared during an acid trip. Fueled by an elixir called Gator's Blood, brewed by the conjure woman Mama Jo, Easy experiences a physical, spiritual, and emotional resurrection, but peace and love soon give way to murder and mayhem. Written with Mosley's signature grit and panache, this engrossing and atmospheric mystery is not only a trip back in time, it is also a tough-minded exploration of good and evil, and of the power of guilt and redemption. Once again, Easy asserts his reign over the City of (Fallen) Angels.
©2013 Walter Mosley (P)2013 Random House Audio
"In 2007's Blonde Faith, set in 1967, Easy Rawlins drove drunkenly off a cliff in what his creator indicated was likely his last appearance. Now, after two months of sliding in and out of consciousness, Easy begins the long journey back to the living, in Mosley's superb 12th mystery featuring his iconic sleuth.... If there were an Edgar for best comeback player, Easy Rawlins would be a shoo-in." ( Publishers Weekly)
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.
"Good to the last drop as always."
Mr Mosley does like he always do. I wish more were made to movies. The Devil in a blue dress movie introduced me to Easy Rawlings.
"Easy is my main man!"
Back from the dead and back with his woman, Mosley has done it again, Easy Rawlings provers that life is full of ifs and buts. I'm taking my audio journey through Mr. Rawlings's world and it's WONDERFUL. My only issue is that I'll be finished with the last two books in the series before Mosley publishes again. What will I do while I wait for Easy? Oh well, I guess it's time to dive into some of Mosleys science fiction. Again, hats off, great job.
"Still a fan!"
The Easy Rawlins series make me happy! I always know I'm in for a good read.
"Great read"
Enjoyed the Easy Rawlings tale. Kept me enthralled with all of the wonderful characters. I highly recommend this story.
"Easy Rawlins - So glad he wasn't dead. A hero I would have missed"
I love Walter Mosley's Easy Rawlins character. It's not that he's bad-assed because he's got people that are and he doesn't need to be. Easy is a humble man that needs to make things right.i loved this book.
"Welcome Back Easy Rawlins"
really enjoyed this story. it's everything I expected from Walter Mosely. one of my favorites.
"Mosley and EZ - Older, wiser, better than ever."
Walter Mosley's sweet, streetwise Easy Rawlins detective was last seen drunkenly plummeting from Highway 1 into presumed oblivion. Readers have waited six years to find out that Easy survived, weakened in body, but with the same universal wisdom.
He emerges into a California summer just beginning to feel the sexual and political and moral changes that would form a chain reaction of protest movements and liberal thought, and conservative reaction. Easy, of course, has a mission, which also naturally involves beautiful women, narrow escapes, corpses,slugfests, mystery and musings.
Walter Mosley writes like an angel, effortlessly mixing political commentary with wry humanist observations, and a fast moving storyline.
Michael Boatman narrates the story flawlessly, bringing to life Mosley's diverse cast of characters of all ages, races, and both genders.
A very worthwhile and entertaining read, and much more than "just a murder mystery".
"Non-stop action"
All the books in the Easy Rawlins series have romance, sex, violent action, intrigue, philosophy and morality. Read the first two books in the series and I imagine you will not be able to stop until you have read all 14. I have listened to all 14 books 3 times and I am trying to move on to other books by other authors but I find that each time I listen to one of the books in the "Easy Rawlins" series I enjoy it more than the previous listens. Michael Boatman is a superb narrator!
"love it need sex more fighting narrator excellentl"
Need more sex and fighting narrator made it all worth it ez always great character
"Great read!"
This addition of Easy Rawlings books called little green was great the reader was wonderful I love this story and how he moved along. The story had so many pieces to it it can't be interested. I love this writer Walter Mosley he is one of my favorites.

TOPEKA, Kan. (KSNT) – What the Capital City is calling straightforward, easier to understand code requirements went into effect Tuesday. It's a story Kansas First News first reported when they were adopted in April.
It applies to all residential and nonresidential structures and premises. Code inspectors and municipal judges have attended training on the new code. The code covers property exteriors, broken down vehicles, trash, and weeds. Code inspectors will also now have mobile devices to help them better do their work while out in the field.
Over the next month, the city will release more articles to help educate residents on the changes. Look for these examples on http://www.nextdoor.com and in your neighborhood's newsletter.

Posted in Press Releases on 21 February 2014
It's rare you get such talent & elegance in abundance, but then again The Night VI are a very special band. This six-piece will shortly be revealing their follow-up to debut single Thinking Of You in March but for now have decided to make their first musical offering this year a beautiful cover of Frank Ocean's Thinkin' Bout You. The cover will also be made available as a free download. Their new single will be announced shortly.
Additionally, there will be playing a string of live dates, including a single party at Birthday's in Dalston on March 19.
When choosing the cover Jack Gourlay reveals "Sophie and The Night VI girls had been obsessed with this album for months but it wasn't until we starting dissecting this song that I realised how incredible it is. When it came to producing it I just tried to imagine it was an idea of our own and write parts and arrange in the way we normally would. The luscious female vocal definitely gives this version a really different feel to the original & musically the middle section I can't imagine Frank doing but it was all a lot of fun."
The Night Vi are Sophie-Rose Harper, Jack Gourlay, Anna Pesquidous, Bo Morgan, Kristy Buglass & Bogart Giner.
Live Dates:
February 28th - The Night VI Clubnight - Stoke Newington 'secret venue'
March 19th - Single release with Duly Noted (indie label) 'Sienna' @ Birthdays

Grameen BASF
Grameen and BASF went into a joint venture because there are area's in Bangladesh where there is a high risk of catching Malaria (58K newly infected in 2007). The product created is a mosquito net to protect against malaria, which that families would sleep under. Half a million nets have already been produced. The idea of the joint venture was to develop affordable products for the poor that could protect them from deadly diseases. Grameen BASF have also started the production of micronutrient sachets to sprinkle on food, which provides essential nutrients that are missing from the poors daily diets.
