Does partial Federal government shutdown represent a breaking point for our politics?
We're obviously too close to this governmental shutdown to fully comprehend its impact, particularly whether it could change our politics in any fundamental way.
But some argue this represents a watershed...

The key point from the National Journal article and I'm sure Mr. Pizza will acquiesce.
"Cruz and other tea party Republicans pledge to do the impossible, presumably to build e-mail lists, bank accounts, and fame."
That in one sentence is why government is broken. The media share most of the blame for focusing on the crazies, and not the nerds.
Tue, Oct 1, 2013 9:07am
Why does everyone in the media continue to miss the point? The person elected to serve as president has two jobs. One is to ensure the safety and welfare of American military. The second is to present to Congress a federal budget for the next fiscal year. The current occupant of the White House has failed to do that for the past four years. This does not mean the "government is broken". It means we have a president who does not have the ability to do his job. If he presented a budget and we needed a continuing resolution, that would mean the process is broken. What we have now means the presidency is broken and he needs to be replaced.

Only "non-essential" Federal employees will be impacted by the shutdown, which begs the question... why are there non-essential employees in the first place?
And for those who like to bring up the "better days" of politics when Reagan and Tip O'Neill "got things done" and debates led to solutions...maybe you should revisit actual history and government shutdowns of the past.
"The government shut down seven times when O'Neill was speaker and Reagan was president. And they were real shutdowns, too, given that they occurred after Jimmy Carter's attorney general, Benjamin Civiletti, issued opinions in 1980 and 1981 saying that funding gaps had to lead to at least partial shutdowns of government functions. Five quasi-shutdowns happened before those opinions under O'Neill's watch, with Carter as president. And one more shutdown happened under Reagan and O'Neill's successor as speaker, Jim Wright."
Tue, Oct 1, 2013 5:52pm
Jim H. Holy! Moly! You need to get on another email list. You were so punked on that one...
The White House has put forth a budget every single year in your lifetime. Why you are today trying to lie your way out of this REPUBLICAN debacle is your issue.
The truth is that this is ALL the fault of Republicans...
Allow me to quote a knowledgeable member of the Senate...
"After blocking Senate Democrats� attempts to start a budget conference 18 times over the past six months, Republicans are now scrambling to start a conference committee with mere minutes to go before a government shutdown. This is just the latest absurd and desperate attempt by Speaker Boehner to delay the inevitable�--bringing a clean continuing resolution to the floor for Democrats and Republicans to vote on�and to continue pushing the country toward a completely unnecessary government shutdown. If Republicans were truly serious about avoiding a crisis they would pass the Senate�s short-term funding bill to remove the threat of a government shutdown immediately."
Try and get out of that one...
And spare us the... if the Senate had agreed to defund Obamacare this would have been fixed long time ago.. Sheez...
It is as if Osama Bin Laden himself had said.... "If the USA had stopped its support for Israel, the twin towers would still be standing today." Sheesh...
Tue, Oct 1, 2013 6:04pm
And to save us time of you rebutting and me responding... the is the rebuttal ahead of time. We can skip some steps...
As was Rick Jensen trying to blame (unsuccessfully, I should add) Obama for refusing to acquiesce to the House extortions, claiming it was his fault for creating the crises because he would not sit down and deal with the extortionists, ... I would have to say that when one's kid has a tantrum in a store, starts pulling things off the shelves, screaming at the top of his lungs, saying he wants candy, are you the type of parent who says... ok, be quiet, calm down, we'll get you some candy. We'll get you lots of candy." Or are you the parent who picks the child off the floor, throws him over you shoulder, and carries him out to the car?
I know how Rick Jensen would respond to that situation. He has a fine outstanding daughter to show for it. Capitulating to the antics of a two-year-old, even if he is a Senator or Republican, is not good for any country. It is especially not good for the United States of America.
You don't negotiate with terrorists. Ted Cruz has done what Osama Bin Laden only dreamed of doing. Shut down the U.S. government. Americans do not negotiate with crazy people. We either help them with their mental health issues, or put them in jail.
Today, there are enough votes in the House to pass the budget opening the government back up. The Republicans know this... which is why that bill is not going on the floor.... There are enough votes.
Get it?
Crazies have shut down the government... These are not sane people we are dealing with here. Not in the least.
Time for Pizza. :)

Ted Cruz and the Tea Party Patriot Republicans are doing the job we elected them to do: OPPOSE COMMUNISM.
Tue, Oct 1, 2013 10:50pm
Right on cue.... :)
Tue, Oct 1, 2013 11:34pm
The dual equivalency is now under attack. This notion that the Democrats are at fault, is being pummeled as it should be. First it was pointed out by WDEL's own Allan Loudell. All the international media are calling the Tea Party as being the only ones accountable for the shut down.
After all I've said about the major media, I was shocked to see that NBC Brian Williams and Chuck Todd, flat out named the Tea Party as solely responsible for the shutdown.
The idea that Democrats had even the tiniest bit of blame, is disappearing fast from America's public consciousness.
I wonder if in 15 years, Breitbart will finally make the same conclusion. lol.
Wed, Oct 2, 2013 12:00am
As to your question asked in the title, does this spell the end of an era in American politics? The answer is it could, but is not likely to.
Before we get carried away, let us look at who is to blame. Ted Cruz. Now let us look at who is furious with him. The Republican Party of the United States, the Democrats, the people of America, world opinion (not that it matters much)..
So probably this will happen to paraphrase Trent Lott who originally said it...
"That Ted Cruz. They have to teach him something or cut his legs out from under him."
Failure to do that may dissolve our nation. But at odds of 315 million to one, I don't think that will happen....
Wed, Oct 2, 2013 3:35am
Time for a music break. Here's a song that perfectly describes Kavips:
Wed, Oct 2, 2013 10:21pm
The Democrats are starting to appear petty and lose their P.R. war on the Republicans as The Greatest Generation wouldn't back down when they went to visit a WW2 Memorial and it was barricaded off...wouldn't look very good arresting 90-year-old heroes going to pay their respects at their own memorial in D.C.
Wed, Oct 2, 2013 10:34pm
Mr. Loudell,
Can you ask the Delaware reps why service men/women working at Dover AFB are not receiving their pay? Wasn't all military spending supposed to continue in this "shutdown"? I thought Gohmert from Texas was able to secure military pay.
Thu, Oct 3, 2013 12:09pm
Earl: Trying to make Republicans look good for removing the barriers which their own actions created is like trying to make Republicans still look good, over a similar incident they tried to escalate into a national crises... Benghazi...
if you don't want to look worse, you should drop it. Already your party is being mocked at being outraged that closing the government down would actually shut down the things in government you liked...
Thu, Oct 3, 2013 12:12pm
I was particularly humored at Rick Jensen talking up the benefits of the shut-down for the American economy, and then.... get a caller from Dover who said... "I'm just calling to tell you the Commissary at the Dover base here is closed.."
Rick shouts.."What? How can that be...."
Priceless... :)
Thu, Oct 3, 2013 12:16pm
And according to the comments under the music which Mr. Pizza offered ... I remind him of his mother... I'm honored.

Great news about a fire we've been following all week. The Firestone Flats Fire near Arlee is now 100% contained.
The human caused fire started Saturday afternoon. The demobilization process has begun and crews will hand the fire back over to local units tomorrow morning at 6 a.m.
Crews say more accurate mapping now lists the fire at 1570 acres.

Florida Political Speech
Broward Coalition v. Browning
Taking on Florida's Political Speech Police
Taking on Florida's Political Speech Police
In May of 2009, the Insitute for Justice secured a federal court decision striking down Florida's so-called "electioneering communications" law. That law made it illegal for any group to merely mention a candidate or ballot issue, let alone express an opinion, without registering with the state as an "electioneering communications organization." Once registered, groups had to appoint a campaign treasurer, make regular reports, record expenditures and disclose all donors—even those whose contributions were not intended to support political speech.
There were almost 100 possible violations of the law, and failure to comply could have led to fines and jail time. The time and money required to navigate this bureaucratic red tape was too much for many citizen groups and non-profits, leaving them no choice but to stay silent. That is why the Broward Coalition, University of Florida College Libertarians and National Taxpayers Union joined with IJ to challenge Florida's law as a violation of First Amendment rights.

GATLINBURG (AP) - The fire on the mountain may be by design this spring in the Smokies.
Officials of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park plan several intentional burns through May.
The National Park Service said the controlled burns reduce the accumulation of fuel for wildfires near residential communities and help restore diverse tree populations in the forest.
As weather permits, the burns are scheduled in areas near Wears Valley, Lynn Hollow and Cades Cove.
Park officials say the popular Loop Road will remain open in Cades Cove, but visitors may experience brief delays because of drifting smoke or safety concerns as firefighter work along the road.
Fire management officer Dave Loveland said 600 acres of fields burned earlier in the cove look great as spring arrives.

Hey Summer, long time no see!!
Cassis-orange flavored snow ball covered with tons of condensed milk. Simple is the best.
Wet and creamy but soft and light. Cheesecake for breakfast and for dessert after dinner. Starting and ending a day with cheesecake. Cheesecake is the emblem of dichotomy, a.k.a. Life.
We three are the best friends from high school. Our memory is deep and condensed as the chocolate cake, and melty as creme bruree.
Sakura jelly on top of peach jelly. Made by the store popular for pudding, the jelly is very soft and creamy :)
Pudding. A lot of pudding. Excessive pudding. This is what I'm living for! If you haven't tried Japanese プリン, you must 'cause it'll change your life.
A basic but amazing one, green tea pudding with lemon sauce, and Sakura & peach jelly.
Happy White Day!! I actually bought this for myself, but there's no reason to miss out the day for dessert, right?? ;P
Berry chiffon cake. Light as Angels' wings, soft as babies' cheeks, and sweet as your smile :D
Rare cheese cake. Not too sweet, the perfect balance of sweet and sour.
Fruit tart, the dessert for working women.
Fruit shortcake tells you the coming of spring??

PHOENIX (AP) - Tourists are expected to find exceptional fall foliage in eastern Arizona's White Mountains this fall as leaves on the region's Aspen trees change colors before they drop for the winter.
But the U.S. Forest Service is warning visitors to be exceptionally careful because of after-effects of the Wallow Fire in 2011.
Holes left by burned stumps can trip up hikers and damaged or dying trees can fall or be blown over. The agency says hikers, campers and sightseers should look down and look up while walking through fire-damaged lands.
The Wallow Fire was the largest in Arizona history and burned more 840 square miles in Arizona and New Mexico. Aspen that are common in the region will become more so in coming years as they grow in more burned areas.

Last week, beloved musical humorist "Weird Al" Yankovic dropped his new album Mandatory Fun. Propelled by a set of eight viral videos, it quickly rose to the top spot on the Billboard charts, his first ever #1, with over 104,000 album sales. Al recently told the New York Times, "I wasn't thinking, 'Oh, I'm on the bleeding edge of marketing, this is going to be a business model that will change the world." But as a longtime (possibly obssessive?) fan of Al, I'd suggest there's still a few things we can learn from him. read more

Last week, the video-hosting site Vimeo announced that it would be implementing a copyright identification system called Copyright Match, which is meant to prevent unauthorized copies of works from being uploaded and viewed on Vimeo. Though its benefits to artists may have been a consideration, it's a safe bet that Copyright Match is also intended to protect Vimeo from lawsuits like the one they are currently involved in with the major labels, while avoiding the headache of processing DMCA takedown notices, which is a frustration for copyright owners as well as service providers.
Maybe it was in celebration of International Happiness Day, or maybe it was just coincidence, but this week saw three high-profile copyright cases all resolved through out-of-court settlements.
First, upstart toy company GoldieBlox settled with Beastie Boys over the unauthorized use of a version of the Beasties song "Girls" with altered lyrics in an online ad video. As we reported in December, the case was framed initially as a question of whether the video qualified as fair use, but it also raised issues of trademark infringement, false endorsement, unfair competition, and misappropriation of publicity rights. In the end, the Beasties got what The Hollywood Reporter originally reported that they were after: a donation by Goldieblox to a charity of the Beasties' choice, based on a percentage of revenue, and a more substantive apology:
This week saw three major developments in the digital music marketplace. First is the acquisition of music data and recommendation company the Echo Nest by streaming music giant Spotify. Second is the purchase of artist-focused commerce platform Topspin by new streaming entrant Beats Music. Last but not least is the announcement of a big cash influx for Audiam, a service collecting artist and rightsholder money on YouTube. Let's take a look at what each of these announcements might mean for musicians and composers.
Post by FMC legal intern Michelle Davis
It seems another rash of Bieber Fever is breaking out across the internet as a new "green paper" from the Department of Commerce's Internet Policy Task Force goes public. This report [PDF], published in July, takes the position that it should be a felony to stream copyrighted works, echoing a bill introduced by Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) back in 2011. Two years ago, passions were ignited with an online campaign to "Free Bieber" from prison, where he was supposedly sent for posting the cover songs on YouTube that launched his career. The too-cute-to-be-accurate campaign even inspired The Bieb himself to come out against Klobuchar's Commercial Felony Streaming Act.
Well, don't "belieb" the hype. It wasn't true then and it's even less true today. The Task Force is not recommending that cover artists—or even the fans streaming potentially infringing videos—be sent to jail. Rather, the report merely recognizes an anomaly in copyright enforcement in which the unauthorized reproduction and distribution of copyrighted works—such as illegal downloads—can be punished as a felony, but public performance—such as streaming—is currently a misdemeanor. In other words, the Task Force thinks it makes sense to harmonize digital and streaming standards. (This outlook is also shared by the Obama administration and the Copyright Office.) The reasoning, according to the report, is that "the lack of potential felony penalties for criminal acts of streaming disincentivizes prosecution and undermines deterrence."
This post co-authored by Policy Intern Cody Duncan
Last week, TuneCore co-founders Jeff Price and Peter Wells announced the launch of Audiam — a new service designed to help artists make money off their music when it's part of user-uploaded content on YouTube. As you probably are aware, there's a lot of music on YouTube, and not all of it is licensed from the rightsholder. YouTube already has a system called Content ID in place that allows rightsholders to block or allow a user-uploaded video that contains copyrighted material when it is posted. Owners can choose between 1) refusing the use 2) allowing it and "tracking" views, demographics, referrals and engagement or 3) monetizing the use through revenue-sharing from ads. Major and independent labels as well as publishers have been utilizing Content ID for at least a couple of years; Audiam aims to make the system more accessible to unaffiliated and self-published musicians and songwriters.
Music publishing is perhaps the most complex and little understood sectors in the music business. Most folks grasp that record labels own so-called "master recordings," but many don't realize there's a whole 'nother copyright in music. read more
by Olivia Brown, Communications Intern
Over the years, the major labels have their fair share of critics; FMC has certainly been among them. You've probably heard the stories: artists arguing with their labels over issues of creative control, withheld royalty payments, shady accounting practices, payola, anticompetive activity and other shenanigans that rankle musicians and fans alike. These problems are well documented and still occur. This has resulted in a well-perpetuated meme that circles: that labels can do no right. And unfortunately, this narrative has become so fashionable that it's frequently advanced at the expense of factual accuracy.
Take, for instance, the recent story about YouTube's massive cuts to the view counts on both Sony Music Entertainment and Universal Music Group's channels. The majority of the press coverage following SocialBlade 's initial report on the 2 billion view count cut jumped to the conclusion that Sony and Universal had artificially inflated their numbers… because that's what a good-for-nothing company would do, right?

I recently have been lucky enough to be nominated for a couple blog awards, One Lovely Blog Award by the always lovely Janey Lambert and the Liebster Blog Award by a new bloggy friend (and fellow SITS-ah), Cluttered Genius. Since I am lazy, and the nomination "requirements" are similar, I'm going to pull a Janey and combine the two. I don't know who ever actually wins these different blog awards, but I think they're a great way to connect with people and increase your network. So, here it goes!
Side note: If you're a blogger and looking for new people to connect with, I recommend all these ladies!
One Lovely Blog Award + Liebster Award
One Lovely Blog Award, Step 1: Thank the person who gave you this award.
Janey, you hold a special place in my blogging heart. I feel so lucky that we were paired together in a CD swap a couple years ago, because I've enjoyed your posts and tweets ever since. Thank you so much for nominating me – I know it comes from your blogging heart as well, and that is why it feels so lovely. (See what I did there?)
One Lovely Blog Award, Step 2: Share seven things about yourself.
- Listening to voice mails make me nervous.
- When Harry Potter ended in 2007, it was hard for me to read new things because nothing was as good.

- Nothing feels more perfect to me than a quiet evening at home.
- I'm totally addicted to those gypsies on TLC.
- I love trying new restaurants!
- When it comes to crafting, I consider myself a Jane-of-all-trades. Maybe one day I'll master something.
- I need to go to Europe. Soon.
- If we go to brunch, I prefer my eggs over easy. Unless Eggs Benedict is on the menu. Then all bets are off.
- Overcast days are my favorite.
Liebster Award, Step 2: Answer the eleven questions specified by your nominator.
- Who do you look up to most? Why? That is a tough question! I look up to my mom and Shelton the most.
- Do you watch reality shows? If you do, which is your favorite? If you don't, why? Anything on TLC. Anything.
- What is your favorite book of all time? Impossible to answer.

- Night owl or early bird? I can swing both ways.
- If you're willing to share, what's your most embarrassing moment? I was walking to my very first college class and slipped and fell. It was raining and my white bermuda shorts were completely covered with mud. I still had to go to class though, and I felt so embarrassed because I smelled like a wet dog.
- Cats or dogs? Dogs.
- When you have nothing else to do, what do you find yourself doing? Writing. Aimlessly.

A startup revives the art of creating hand-painted movie posters
Nov 20 2012, 13:54 | By Entrepreneur
By Trishna Guha
The year 2013 will mark the 100th year of Indian cinema. Bollywood, in these 100 years, has undergone a sea change. What started off as silent, black-and-white films have now evolved into futuristic interpretations of dreams backed by the best of graphical and digital aids.
It is not surprising, then, that what used to be an art form has now evolved into a gratifying business platform that just keeps on rolling.
According to a 2010 FICCI-KPMG report, the Indian film industry is projected to grow at a rate of nine percent between 2010 and 2014 and will reach the size of Rs. 13,700 crore by 2014.
Our movie viewing experience has certainly changed over the years, given the modern lifestyle choices and tastes. But when a new trend takes over, not everything is able to make it to the present. Some just die out. Some, become a part of a legacy.
Founded by Hinesh Jethwani (32) in Mumbai, Indian Hippy was formed on the primary objective of reviving the art of creating hand-painted movie posters. The venture was christened in December 2009, with a capital investment of less than Rs. 5 lakh.
A dying art
Back in the sixties, the only medium of advertisement for films were cinema posters. Cinema halls, walls of public urinals and general stores donned techni-colored, hand-painted posters of upcoming movies depicting famous actors romancing their leading ladies or the protagonists beating the daylight out of villains.
Each poster, depending on the size and complexity, used to take days or months to be finished. All was well for these artists till the 70s era.
The 80s brought with them the age of still photography and digital printing. Posters were now being printed on vinyl flex sheets, which were available in any desired size.
And with that, poster painting was forced to sink into oblivion.
Hippy revival
Working with the last few existing poster artists, Jethwani's online store offers a collection of unique hand-painted furniture and accessories like wallets, bags and belts. It also sells authentic vintage memorabilia like hand-painted movie posters and handbills of yesteryears, old vinyl records, magazines, movie tickets etc. Jethwani's major sources for all these collectibles are shut-down production houses, art studios and single screen cinema halls and on some days if he is lucky, even antique dealers and collectors.
However, the products selling like hot cakes are Indian Hippy's customized, hand-painted posters. Here, posters of famous movies are customized, by replacing the faces of popular actors with the clients' faces. The letterings on these posters can be customized as well. These posters are being used as banners at weddings and needless to say, are a hit with couples.
Starting from the 80s, Jethwani says, cinema posters could be made in a much shorter time frame and didn't require any manual labor. "The cost of production came down drastically. Hence, digitally-made posters became the new rage and the poster artists were forced to take up other jobs", adds Jethwani.
Then and now
It was in 2009, that Jethwani gathered these artists and made them a part of his network for Indian Hippy. His venture has put many of these painters back on the payroll and positively changed their lives.
Sixty-year-old Lucas Mondal was only a teenager when he came to Mumbai in 1970 with dreams of landing a job in the city. After his initial days of struggle, Mondal started working as a poster artist.
"My first major feature film was Manoj Kumar's Purab Aur Paschim. In those days, I used to paint gigantic hoardings outside movie theaters," recollects Mondal. With an income of almost '40,000 per month, Mondal's life was smooth sailing until the 80s when all poster artists were thrown out of work. He was then forced to take up odd jobs on contract basis.
"I have worked at construction sites and hospitals; I never thought I would get back to painting till I was hired by Indian Hippy," says Mondal. He now earns up to Rs. 20,000 per month through his paintings. When asked if he faced any teething problems while launching Indian Hippy, Jethwani says that many of the products were initially rejected as they weren't accurate enough. This was because the artists were painting after a long time and most of them weren't used to painting in small frames such as bags and belts. "When I found these artists, most of them were already suffering from low self-esteem. Add to that, all of them were very senior to me, so I had to handle the situation in a delicate manner," adds Jethwani. Now, of course, his accessories section is doing much better.
Fan fare
With a team of about a dozen artists, Indian Hippy has its head office and retail presence at Atria Mall in South Mumbai. Jethwani doesn't see himself opening more outlets as his business is mostly online and a large quotient of his customers consist of nostalgic NRIs and foreigners fascinated by this art form. Others include Bollywood biggies like producer-director Karan Johar and even the occasional Hollywood star like Hugh Jackman.
"We are running the current store simply to provide a touch-and-feel experience to those customers who want to see our products," says Jethwani. As far as international projects go, Indian Hippy has been associated with one Hollywood project so far, namely Atlantis.
"We made a hand-painted poster on canvas for the movie and also sent them high resolution prints of the same," adds Jethwani. Posters from Indian Hippy were also showcased at UK's premier auction house, Sotheby's, a few months ago.
Jethwani says that he is open to taking investors on board. For now, he is busy developing products to celebrate the 100 years of Indian cinema in 2013-one of them being hand-painted old vinyl records converted into wall clocks.The final product he will ever make though, he tells us, is a Bollywood museum.

I was just on http://wffisher.com/pfizer-cialis-50mg the blog of my neighbor Lewis (yes, he actually lives next door to me and online viagra canada is an has a bike advocacy blog...small world, I know) and came across the above graph. While, certainly, the Toyota Prius has some far more advanced technology than your average transit bus, the bus is the far more environmentally friendly option.
Unfortunately, as anyone who's recently taken a cross-country bus will tell you, it's not always the tramadol availability in canada most comfortable experience. Planes are far faster, cars allow for more control, and busses might contain a different class of patron than most suited business travellers are used to. So busses are neglected entirely by environmental writers, it seems, in favor of promoting green options that are more comfrtable.
As the above graph shows, even a half-full bus uses less than half of cialis buy online the fuel per passanger as a plane. My environmental innovation for the day would be to posh up the bus system a bit, increase fares by a fraction, and make busses actually comfortable for long-distance travel while still having them be one of the greenest ways to travel.
As air travel becomes more and more inconvenient (and expensive) travelers are going to be looking for new and better ways to get from place to place.
Thanks to Lewis for his great work at ImagineNoCars.

In an ideal (my ideal, anyway) world, trains would ferry people between large metros, while inter-city buses deliver people to www.tedxamsterdamed.nl smaller cities. From there, bikes or buses can perform the "last mile", so to speak.
Maybe it's just the fact that I really dig riding trains. I'm going to schedule a trip to Chicago sometime soon on Amtrak with my sister, and my wife and I prefer rail to go visit our family in CT. We just need more rail in the central area of the country to make it more feasible.

Its funny how actually the where can i purchase levitra lowest tech things - bicycle, walking, train, bus - are the most environmentally friendly transportation options. Not only do they cause the least amount of emissions, but the resources used and the pollution created in manufacturing the needed demand is much less compared to the personal car.
The reality is that we can't solve our environmental, transportation, global warming, etc. problems through everyone just buying a hybrid. People will have to give up the personal technologies we have become accustomed and develop new social relationships if we want to cialis generic cheapest move foward and have any measurable imapct on these issues.

I'm South African, and have used Greyhound quite a lot for intercity travel, and one thing I've heard many times is how much worse American Greyhound travel is than ours [less comfortable seats, worse service, generally no "in-flight" movie to selling viagra online pass the click here buying cialis without a prescription time, stuff like that].
And then there's Turkey...
Nothing will make bus trips the most comfortable way to travel, but it's interesting how much difference little improvements could make.

posh up the buses and increase bus fares so we alter the demographic that travels by bus?
not the problem and not the solution. having traveled by train in different american cities, i see all classes of people in mostly harmonious co-existence.
the real problem with public transportation in our us of a is that it works best with high density housing and most of our country is developed horizontally due to our abundant spaces. a bus system has lower initial cost and hence break-even as compared to trains and how can i buy levitra in canada so we see more buses than trains.
and i agree with other observations listed above regarding low capacity utilization on buses during off peak hours. a better comparison would provide average daily co2 lbs per passenger mile accounting for load factors.
food for thought - many countries have switched to natural gas or bio diesel fueled buses / cabs / "rickshaws" thereby providing cleaner buses. some of these conversions are extremely inexpensive in $ terms.

Let's say the bus system had a fleet of 100, 10-people highly efficient vans. And they could run a system whereby people signup for their route, a program could aggregate similar routes thereby taking 9 cars off the road and saving X amount in CO2 emissions.

With cars its a different story, there are more cars in America than there are people, there is no efficient way to replace the this old, more heavily polluting fleet of vehicles with a hybrids/plugins.
About 10 million cars are sold in America each year - lets go into the fantasy world here just for the hell of buy canadian levitra online it - and lets assume that every new car is a hybrid and every new car only replaces a car already on the road so that there is no growth in the overall size of the America's fleet. Even taking those logical leaps it still takes over 30 years to fully replace America's current fleet of cars.
Now lets jump back into reality and realize fuel efficient hybrids only make up 2% of the market for NEW cars. Yes that number is going to grow, and should grow pretty quickly, but there will always be that Suburban from the 70's that someone keeps alive because they can't afford to http://amarragessansfrontieres.com/cheap-levitra-no-prescription upgrade.

Even if you posh up the buses it would still be hard to attract more people from planes or trains or automobiles, for one particular reason: the time it takes to get to your destination on the bus. If I'm a business traveller, I don't want to have to take an overnight bus both ways and risk sleeping badly and be away from my family for an extra 2 nights. If you can take a day bus *and* you can work on the bus without disturbing the people around you or being disturbed by them then you might be able to brand viagra canada make more use of it...
Oh, and Greyhound *are* poshing up some of their business routes, with new buses that have Wifi and power points and more legroom (i.e. more like business class / Eurostar).

These days there are so many sizes that you would really be confused and perplexed at the number of oddities in terms of body size. Do you know what your body size is? In the past, there was only small, medium, and large. These days, you have extra small, extra large, and even a double X large. Is this how the world is coming to these days? That now, there are additional sizes that make it all the more confusing to the normal shopper? What about lingerie? Are there additional sizes as well?
Plus size lingerie should not be a hindrance to you should you be interested in purchasing any of these. This is why it is important for you to properly know your body's size, from the bust size, to the cup size, to the right size for your panties. It should always be your comfort when you are choosing the best lingerie, whether this is for special occasions, lingerie for your day to day use, or replacing your brassier because the ones you have have underwire that have been re-shaped already. Never think twice when you are about to buy lingerie. No matter how you look at it, when you are comfortable in what you're wearing, it would always show in how you carry yourself. This is why some women invest in expensive lingerie and purchase designer brands, because they feel that wearing something pricey and that screams quality would help boost the way they carry themselves when they know that they are wearing something that is costly underneath all the clothing.

The Phillies haven't scored enough runs to win consistently this year, but they scored seven for the second game in a row last night as they topped the Fish 7-2. Before scoring seven runs in back-to-back days, the Phillies had scored three runs or less in 10 of their last 14 games.
Kendrick got the start and was very good, throwing a complete game and holding Miami to pair of runs.
Domonic Brown continued his amazing run with three more hits, including a two-run homer in the sixth. Brown has hit eight home runs in his last eight games and is hitting 329/340/713 with 15 home runs over his last 147 plate appearances.
Over the 15 games the Phillies have played since May 18, Brown has been more likely to homer than not homer in a given game. He's hit more than one home run in two of the 15 games while posting a 1.434 OPS over 60 plate appearances.
The Phillies are 28-30 on the year after beating the Miami Marlins 7-2 last night. They have won two in a row.
Kendrick got the start for the Phillies and threw a complete game, allowing two runs on six hits and a walk. One of the hits went for extra-bases, a double. He struck out five.
Second straight good start for Kendrick. He's allowed just ten hits in 15 innings over his last two starts while walking four.
He allowed a one-out single to Ed Lucas in the top of the first. Lucas moved up to second when Derek Dietrich grounded to first for the second out, but was left stranded when Marcell Ozuna lined to short.
Chris Coglan doubled to center to start the second, but Kendrick retired the next three hitters on a pair of ground balls and a strikeout to leave him stranded.
Juan Pierre singled to center with one out in the third and moved up to second when Lucas followed with a walk. Dietrich was next and he singled into right, scoring Pierre (1-0) and moving Lucas up to third for Ozuna. Ozuna hit a rocket past Galvis at third. Lucas scored (2-0) and it brought Coghlan to the plate with men on first and second. Coghlan moved the runners up to second and third with a ground out, but Kendrick got Casey Kotchman on a popup to Rollins to leave both men stranded.
Kendrick threw a 1-2-3 fourth.
Pierre singled to start the fifth and Lucas bunted him to second with the first out. Dietrich followed with a ground out to second that pushed Pierre to third with two down. Kendrick retired Ozuna on a fly ball to left to leave Lucas stranded.
Up 3-2, Kendrick set the Marlins down in order in the sixth.
The Phils led 7-2 when he set them down in order in the seventh, eighth and ninth.
Kendrick retires 15 men in a row after Pierre's single to start the fifth.
The Phillie lineup against righty Tom Koehler went (1) Revere (2) Hernandez (3) Rollins (4) Howard (5) Brown (6) Delmon Young (7) Kratz (8) Galvis. Michael Young back with the team but not in the starting lineup. Galvis plays third. Revere/Hernandez is a pretty miserable combination to have at the top of your lineup.
Rollins and Howard walked back-to-back with two outs in the bottom of the first, but Brown struck out swinging 1-2 to leave both runners stranded.
Kratz singled softly to center with one out in the second. Galvis grounded into a double-play behind him.
Kratz is hitting 286/378/532 over his last 90 plate appearances since the start of the day on April 18.
Down 2-0, the Phillies went in order in the third.
Brown singled to right with two outs in the fourth. Young grounded to short behind him.
Kratz led off the fifth and homered to left-center on a 2-1 pitch, cutting the lead to 2-1. Galvis grounded to second before Kendrick lined a ball into left center that rolled long enough to go for a triple. Revere was next and slapped a single into left, scoring Kendrick to tie things up at 2-2. Revere stole second, took third on a throwing error by the catcher Brantley and scored on a ground out by Hernandez, which put the Phils up 3-2. Rollins struck out to end the inning.
Revere makes a run pretty much on his own, singling, stealing second, taking third on an error and scoring on a ground out. Career RBI number one for Hernandez. Also the first career triple for Kendrick.
Howard doubled to start the sixth and scored when Brown hit a 2-2 pitch out to right, extending the lead to 5-2. Righty Ryan Weeb took over for Koehler and Young hit a 1-1 pitch well out to left. 6-2. Kratz struck out for the first out before Galvis tripled to right. Kendrick was next and hit a ball to short. Adeiny Hechavarria fielded and came home, but not in time. Galvis was running on contact and slid in safely, putting the Phils up 7-2 with Kendrick on first. Revere moved Kendrick up to second with a single before Hernandez flew to center for the second out, deep enough for Kendrick to tag and move up to third. Revere stole second before Rollins drew a walk that loaded the bases. Lefty Edgar Olmos came in to pitch to Howard and Howard grounded out to set the Phillies down.
Second stolen base of the game for Revere. He's stolen 13 for the year and been caught just three times.
Brown singled to right off of Olmos to start the seventh, but Young grounded into a double-play behind him and Kratz flew to right for the third out.
Lefty Dan Jennings set Galvis, Kendrick and Revere down in order in the eighth. Kendrick hit for himself having thrown 90 pitches in the game.
Revere was 2-for-5 with an RBI and two stolen bases. 300/344/344 in his 98 plate appearances since the start of May.
Hernandez 0-for-4 with an RBI. 5-for-23 with a double and a .217 on-base percentage so far. Doesn't seem to have much chance to help the Phillies — not because he's on-basing .217, but just because. Really not a guy you should let hit second in your lineup at this point.
Rollins 0-for-2 with two walks. 307/386/489 in his last 102 plate appearances. Nine walks and a .533 on-base percentage over his last 30 plate appearances.
Howard 1-for-3 with a double and a walk. He's walked unintentionally four times in his last 16 plate appearances. Prior to those plate appearances he had nine walks for the season in 194 plate appearances and four of those were intentional.
Brown 3-for-4 with a two-run homer. His line against lefties has been good for a while now. His line against righties is up to 277/320/572 after two hits, including a home run, off the righty Koehler last night (he also singled off the lefty Olmos in the seventh to up his line against lefties to 340/360/660).
Delmon Young was 1-for-4 with a home run. Four home runs in his last 47 plate appearances. Still hitting just 205/259/397 against righties for the season after hitting 247/279/370 against them in 2012.
Kratz 2-for-4 with his seventh home run. He's hit 16 home runs in 293 plate appearances for the Phillies since the start of 2012. Isolated power of .228 over those seasons.
Galvis 1-for-4 with a triple. 5-for-his-last-15 with a double, two triples and a home run.
Pettibone (3-1, 3.64) faces righty Ricky Nolasco (3-6, 3.69) tonight. The worst of Pettibone's eight starts came his last time out as he allowed four runs in five innings against the Red Sox. Lefties are hitting 320/400/460 against him for the season. Nolasco has been fantastic against righties this year — they're hitting just 219/266/298 against him for the season.

"This is such an adorable invitation and can be used for either gender. (I also checked with a local cake decorator and it will work well on a cake for the shower.) The colors are vibrant and fun and the animals are simple and cute. I can't wait to send them out!"
"This baby shower invitation was for my cousin who is having a little boy and decorating the nursery in a forest animal theme. So when I saw this card I was thrilled - - it was perfect - - so nice to see a baby shower invitation in a style other than the traditional pink or blue. I love Ann Kelle's work."
"Loved this baby shower invitation! Quality was excellent and the design review did an excellent job fitting in all the information I wanted included on the invitation. I would recommend this product and company."
"This design is absolutely adorable. It was love at first sight when I saw this design, I knew I wanted it for our co-ed baby shower. I got the card with round edges and upgraded it to the shimmer pearl paper. I am so glad I got the shimmer peal paper because it made the card look even more amazing. The designer also was able to add in my request of adding text on the back of the card which was a plus. I received this in the mail quite fast and as promised by the delivery date. I feel the quality and product on Tiny prints definately is better than the other websites I have used in the past for cards."
"This is a great invite for a gender neutral baby shower! Colors are so vivid and happy. The paper is thick and great quality. Shipping was so fast. Very happy with this purchase!"

The Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings in Newtown may have set off the armed Avon man who barricaded himself in his Lovely Street home last weekend, according to the man's roommate who reported the dispute to police.
The roommate provided a harrowing account to police detailing what transpired prior to the standoff involving Brian Benjamin, 53, of 373 Lovely St., who she said pointed a handgun at her when she confronted him about his drinking.
Benjamin faces charges of criminal posession of a pistol or revolver, second-degree threatening, first-degree criminal mischief, third-degree assault and interfering with a police officer, according to court documents. He has not entered a plea yet and is scheduled to appear in court again Jan. 29. A Hartford Superior Court judge raised his bond from $250,000 to $1 million.
He is also barred from contact with his female roommate, with whom he lived for four years, according to a protective order against him.
The woman, a friend of Benjamin's, told police that he was "depressed and suicidal," particularly "after the Newtown shootings," Avon Police Officer Susan Kassey said in her incident report. The school massacre that resulted in the deaths of six educators and 20 young children "triggered something in Benjamin," who lost his 5-year-old daughter 25 years ago when she died of a heart condition, the woman told police.
The roommate told police she "believed that the incident in Newtown had set Benjamin off and she was concerned he would 'shoot it out with the police,'" Det. Sgt. Jeffrey Gilbert said in his incident report.
Benjamin is a recovering alcoholic and drinking has made him "angry and depressed" in the past, the woman told police. He remained "clean and sober" during their time living together until she noticed him drinking around 10:30 a.m. on Dec. 30, 2012, she said. He refused to leave when she asked him to and denied punching a hole in the wall while she was out of the room, according to the woman.
The woman called 911 to report the dispute at 1:38 p.m. last Sunday. After finding out, Benjamin yelled "they won't take me alive" and "I'll kill anyone who comes in the door" and returned with a handgun, the woman told police. He grabbed her by the hair and put the gun to her head, she said. She was struck in the head a couple times as he moved the gun around her face, according to her written statement to police.
The woman escaped with her two dogs after Benjamin pushed her to the ground and walked into another room. Police found her crying at the bottom of the driveway.
Kassey, who arrived first on scene with Officer Erin Connole, said in her report that Benjamin yelled from his garage, "I'm going to shoot both of you if you come over here" and eventually closed the door. The woman told Kassey that Benjamin was alone inside and "wanted to die by suicide by a police officer."
Kassey pulled the woman into her police cruiser after the woman told her that Benjamin had "threatened to kill her" when she tried to leave for work.
Kassey and Connole blocked off Lovely Street and asked dispatch to call an American Medical Response unit and fire police. Gilbert, who arrived soon after with Lt. Kelly Walsh, directed officers to evacuate residents between 365 and 381 Lovely St. Police secured the perimeters of the home.
Benjamin called Avon police dispatch and spoke to Dispatcher Chris Corso until North Central Hostage Negotiation Team negotiators arrived. Corso "described Benjamin's mood as agitated and irrational," Gilbert said in his incident report.
Farmington, Simsbury and North Central Emergency Services Team (NCEST) officers assisted Avon police. Bloomfield Police Lt. Art Fredericks and Windsor Police Capt. Kelvan Kearse command the regional team that "assumed control of the incident" as negotiators communicated with Benjamin, Gilbert said in his case report.
Benjamin kept telling negotiators "that he would shoot cops if they attempted to come in his house to get him," Gilbert said.
Connecticut Light & Power cut the electricity to the neighborhood and officers on the regional emergency response team shut off Benjamin's power meter. He still would not surrender, police said.
NCEST SWAT team snipers could see Benjamin pacing his house with a handgun through their "magnified optics" equipment, Gilbert said in his report. At one point the regional SWAT team saw Benjamin holding a second weapon, a long rifle. He was holding it in "port arms" position, but it was not pointed at officers at the time, Gilbert said.
"The fact that the suspect was now known to be armed with a high-powered long rifle increased the danger level of the incident and homes further to the south with sight lines of the residence were evacuated," Gilbert said in his incident report.
With no resolution in sight, NCEST officers deployed nonlethal tear gas into his home through basement and first floor windows, according to Gilbert's report. After doing so twice, Benjamin told negotiators at 2:20 a.m. on Dec. 31, 2012, that he would surrender if they stopped releasing the gas.
He exited the house unarmed with just a cell phone in his hand around 2:30 a.m. When he wouldn't follow police orders to put his hands up and get on the ground, police fired "less-lethal munitions" and several bean bag rounds struck him," Gilbert said in his report.
NCEST paramedics treated him and an AMR ambulance brought him to John Dempsey Hospital in Farmington to tend to his wounds and evaluate his mental state.
The case remains open and Benjamin is in lock-up on suicide watch, according to Hartford Superior Court records.

Prepaid Cards: Prepaid Credit Cards & Prepaid Debit Cards
Prepaid debit cards are similar to both ATM debit cards and regular credit cards in the sense that you can swipe them at any time to pay for products and services. They are especially helpful to those with bad credit who cannot qualify for an unsecured card otherwise. Prepaid cards are also helpful for parents wanting to give their kids a credit card with "training wheels" to teach them how to handle debt. Most prepaid debit cards are available with no fee, even to those who do not have a bank account or credit history. The prepaid credit card limit extended to you is based on how much money you deposit into the reloadable account ahead of time – or how much you "prepay" on the card.
You can use a prepaid card the same way you would use a debit or credit card, and you can make withdrawals or purchases against the cash balance in the account. If you use up your cash, the card limit runs out. Then you can recharge, or resupply, your reloadable card by making another cash deposit.
Check the details of each prepaid credit card because they all charge various fees and apply different rules. Many also offer helpful cash management and bill paying tools through convenient online account access that can assist with establishing an improved credit history. You will just have to see what options are available for you. Study the FAQ section of the card's website or look for the terms and conditions page – which companies sometimes sneakily hide or bury where you have to look long and hard to find it. Here's a nice FAQs page for your convenience.

7) Add your contact information to the lock screen
Because you read tip number six, just above, you now have a phone that, when awoken from sleep outside the home or office, asks for a security code before allowing access. But that also means someone who finds your phone has no idea whose phone they're holding, because they can't get into it. So in the same Security section of Settings, tap the Owner Info section. Enter in your name, email address, and perhaps an alternate phone number, and click to enable "Show owner info on lock screen."
8) Install Dropbox
This is a cheat, because this is my constant advice to anyone, for just about any computer gripe or question. But Dropbox's Android app is very good, and there are desktop clients available for almost every computer out there, with 2 GB of Dropbox server space available for free, and lots more through easy promotions and referrals.
Why Dropbox? Because, as one prescient Quora answer explained, it is just a folder that magically keeps the same files wherever you look at it. It solves a lot of conundrums at once:
"I wish I had this (photo/song/file) from my (computer/phone) on my (computer/phone).
"I need to share all these files with someone, but there are too many to attach to one email."
"I'd rather not deal with Google Drive or Windows Live or whatever, and the sharing, permissions, blah blah blah. I just want people to download this thing."
9) Change your screen sleep time
There is a Battery section of Settings that shows exactly which apps and processes have been eating your power. Almost always, the hungriest thing on your phone is "Screen." On my phone, as I write this, Screen ate 45 percent of the battery loss over nearly 8 hours since my last charge. Particularly on a phone with a larger screen, the screen is where much of your juice is fleeing your phone at the speed of light.
Head to Settings, then into Display, and choose the Sleep setting. Pick a setting that works for how you use your phone. Pick a shorter time to save on battery, or a longer time if you're often doing tasks that require keeping the screen on without interaction, like reading longer items, watching a timer, and so on.

Keep Maine's North Woods Wild
Gov. LePage wants to throw open the North Woods to development — threatening some of Maine's most beautiful places, like the Rangeley Lakes and countless remote areas. But if enough Mainers speak out, we can convince the Legislature to reject his reckless plan.
Gov. LePage targets North Woods for development
Gov. LePage is trying to open the Woods to development — like sprawling resorts and housing subdivisions — which could be built right on top of the places we go now to hike, camp, and fish.
The governor has proposed stripping away 40 years of protections for the North Woods, including zoning a third of the North Woods for development and dismantling the agency charged with protecting the North Woods.
Imagine what developers might to do to special places in the heart of our Woods if left to their own devices.
At stake: The largest undeveloped forest east of the Rockies
If you've been to Maine's North Woods, you know what's at stake. Going for a swim in Moosehead Lake. Watching the sunrise from the summit of Mount Katahdin. Spotting a hawk overhead as you canoe down the Allagash Wilderness Waterway.
The North Woods span 10 million acres, forming the largest undeveloped forest east of the Rockies. Its rich forestland and wild rivers provide a home for countless species, including endangered bald eagles and Canada lynx.
So many of us have learned to love the great outdoors in the North Woods. But our children may not get the same opportunity, if Gov. Paul LePage gets his way.
With your activism and our advocacy, we can protect the North Woods
We refuse to let Gov. LePage bulldoze our natural heritage — and we have a plan to defend our North Woods. We're bringing together Mainers from all walks of life to protect the North Woods. All of us — hikers, anglers, hunters, tourism businesses, and Mainers across the state — have something to fight for.
Our citizen outreach staff has been knocking on doors across the state since May to educate Mainers about what's at stake. We're also testifying in Augusta, educating lawmakers, and shining a spotlight in the media on the need to protect the North Woods.
Thousands of you have joined the fight too. Across the state, you're calling or emailing your legislators, signing petitions, spreading the word to your friends and family, and attending hearings in August.
Your activism and our advocacy are a powerful combination. Gov. LePage has been forced to scale back the scope of his plan. But he's not giving up the fight — and neither can we.
We need you to get involved if we're going to defeat the governor's plan once and for all. If enough of us speak out, we can ensure the North Woods stay protected. Join our campaign by sending your legislators a message today.
Urge your legislator to reject Gov. LePage's reckless plan.
Key Facts
- Gov. LePage has proposed eliminating the agency responsible for protecting the North Woods and zoning one-third of the North Woods — more than 3 million acres — for development.
- The North Woods make up the largest undeveloped forest east of the Mississippi.
- Environment Maine activists have signed 6,000 petitions, made 200 phone calls and sent 1,000 emails to their legislators in support of the North Woods.
