I was just down there at Whole Foods. Not surprisingly, the SLUT cars were packed. Packed with people who, like Kinkos implies, are likely one-and-done.
The coolest thing about it, however, is the electronic board telling riders when the next streetcar is due. I would like to see this technology added to all bus stops.
Why the pessimism?
At $50 million and $2 million a year we could expand SLUT to a 100 mile system which would only cost $2.5 billion plus $200 million a year to operate. That's only another $4 billion over twenty years. Or $ 9 billion total.
For a system totally just as fast as a bus!
See, Paul Allen gets REAL train sets for Christmas (thanks, City of Seattle!! You shouldn't have.)
Oh dear, a ride on the very first day of a streetcar's operation didn't meet expectations. Nothing can be done about it now and there's no possible way to make improvements. Better mothball the whole thing. Why were we the only city in the entire world to build a streetcar line? Just to dash kinkos' hopes? It's just cruel.
I took it today as well. It took forever to get to Whole Foods from Westlake. It was the first and last time for me. Walking would have been nearly as fast, or a cab.
Fuck the SLUT! Fuck her real good! HA HA HA HA HA!!!!
Too slow.
Hope they decide to build an elevated light rail or monorail instead.
Just Me @ 5
Too late, she (along w/Hallivulcan) has already started fucking us.
@1, Metro has that on a couple of bus stops in North Seattle on the #48 and another route. It is pretty cool but no idea why they did not expand that on some of the other larger bus stops or P&R's around the area. Like the bus area at UW on Campus Parkway or even in the bus tunnel.
Should they start to take suggestions for alternatives, may I suggest "People Mover"? I mean, it worked in Detroit...
The 5-some of haircuts and calf-length coats who were all smiles and handshakes at the corner of Fairview and Harrison by the SLUT barn an hour ago looked pretty pleased with themselves.
Part of the problem is Westlake--the street is timed for maximum signal delay. I learned to avoid it soon after I moved to Seattle, after watching four signals turn red right as I reached the intersection. One problem with rails: no detours. You build a line down the slowest street in downtown, you get stuck at lights.
I love living in the city / I love living in the city / My house smells just like a zoo/ It ís chock full of shit and puke/ Cockroaches on the walls/ Crabs are crawling on my balls/ Oh, but I'm so clean cut/ I just want to fuck some slut/ I love living in the city/ I love living in the city/ Spent my whole life in the city/ Where junk is king and the air smells shitty/ People puking everywhere,/ Piles of blood, scabs and hair/ Bodies wasted in defeat/ People dying on the streets/ But suburban scumbags they don't care/ They just get fat and dye their hair/ I love living in the city/ I love living in the city
I love living in the city
You have to hand it to Seattle, though - a charmed city doing all the right things, but totally fucking it up.
If the SLUT does torpedo public perception of street-rail transport, then at least the $7000/foot we spent building it will have served some useful purpose.
Ah, the irony. Remember that the monorail was supposed to be operational in ... December 2007. Thank you, Joel Horn, for screwing it up.
We have such a special kind of hell...
@15 god thats is depressing
Ah well, in the end, don't ALL sluts disappoint?
(And on a completely unrelated note: can anyone in The Stranger IT Dept. PUHLEEZ explain to me why I have to constantly type in my name & email & URL - why won't SLOG remember me?)
Nothing worse than a slow slut.
i will personally purchase a drink at next month's SLOG happy or whatever it's called for whoever takes the best seattle streetcar bumpersticker photo. how doomed do you have to be as a public transportation agency to be giving out f'ing bumper stickers to your customers? how about gas cards? big plastic-wrap ads on the SLUT that say "DON'T RIDE ME" - drive your car!!
this has been one of the roughest years in seattle memory - the sculpture park, the death of pike/pine, and the SLUT.
The real problem is it's too long.
1.3 miles is way longer than what you need to have a ribbon cutting photo, or to show the mayor riding it for 3.5 seconds on the 5 o'clock news.
@15, I totally forgot that the Monorail was supposed to be up and running this month. FUCK that is super depressing. But honestly it probably would have been a couple of months later given that all projects of that sort are late. But still... we could have had a monorail. Now we just have a SLUT.
So, time until the SLUT runs someone over and kills them? I give it a month! Any takers?
Chris B @9:
You must have a lower threshold for "worked" than I do. From Wikipedia: "Average ridership today is currently around 7300 people a day, still well below capacity of 24,000 an hour" and "the city was subsidizing the system $3.00 for every $0.50 rider fare". The Detroit People Mover is probably the most useless major rail transit system in the world.
At 2.5 MPH, the scene of the slut running over a pedestrian would be similar to that scene in Austin Powers where the guard is run over by the ponderously slow steamroller.
The making and marketting of the "I was creamed by the slut" t-shirts would be finished before the guy was hit.

ach.. sorry for the doubleply.
I just got back from riding it and despite other user comments I don't think it was all that bad. Yes, it's not a fucking bullet train but it is faster than walking or waiting for a half an hour for a freaking bus.
From the conversations I over heard on board, many who otherwise wouldn't take public transit will take this. Yes running a bus down the same route would be cheaper (and probably a minute or two faster) but you wouldn't have nearly as much ridership.
Rail transit (even along a busy street, although this isn't ideal) has many advantages: smoother ride, easy boarding (no paying to board), coolness factor which will lure more people to take this thing than other forms of public transit.
BTW, San Francisco has many streetcar routes than run in a similar manner as the SLUT. Hell the SLUT is an exact copy of the streetcar they have in Portland!
That not paying to board advantage is good for one month...
Olympic Sculpture Park was so damned when there were too many people on its opening weekend. Too crowded. Couldn't really get a feel for it.
Obviously the park was a failure.
Ken Schram doesn't like it:
Excuse a poor Chicagoan her ignorance, but it your little trolley thingee actually called SLUT? All this time I just thought ya'll were being snarky.
Don't you people realize the value (yes, over the long term) of having fixed rail? Unlike other transit choices, such as buses, buses in priority lanes, etc., the streetcar ain't goin' nowhere. Those rails are in the ground and it shows a commitment to transit. Maybe in 5, 10, 20 years Westlake will be one big pedestrian/transit corridor. It's possible! We have a start with the streetcar, so stop bitching and start riding and walking.
When I went to UW (~2 years ago) there was a TV right by the HUB bus stop that showed when the next buses were coming, don't know if it's still there though.
SLUT = South Lake Union Transit, the streetcar's (nick)name.
They got off after riding the SLUT for two blocks!?!
@32, about "the long term": yeah, like the last time the region was covered in streetcar tracks -- look how permanent that was. Ever wonder why Interurban Avenue is called that? Or why that statue in Fremont is called "Waiting for the Interurban"?
The streetcar in Portland (the inspiration for Seattle's) is just as slow, so this should not have been a surprise to anyone. It looks supercool but it's faster to get out and walk. Hell, I bet an old guy with a walker could outrun it.
@35 Yes, I do realize that. But how long did we have streetcars in many American cities? 30, 40, 50 years? Even longer if you include horse-drawn rail vehicles. Rail can have a significant AND lasting impact on the built environment in that amount of time. How do you think Wallingford (and many other Seattle 'hoods) got going and stayed alive as dense urban neighborhoods?
Welcome to mass transit folks. More expensive and much more trouble....
Might as well pave over all the stupid tracks and add another traffic lane or build the stupid monorail, at least it wouldn't stop at a light..
I wonder what the economic impact on the SLUTS that work the South Lake Union area will be now that the City has put in their own S.L.U.T on the street.
@27, Yes SF has many surface level streetcar lines, and we bitch and moan about how often they get disrupted by double-parked cars, traffic and the like.
When the newest line, the T-Third, opened in April it was considerably slower than the 15 line bus that it replaced. Traffic officials were afraid to give the streetcars signal priority in some places...so trains packed with people were stuck at red lights around the Caltrain station and the ballpark.
Even after some tweaking in early summer, people are still begging for the 15 line to be reinstated.
I haven't ridden yet, but it is clear that walking is much faster. Seeing it in action is eye-opening...
Another first in Seattle yesterday-see KOMO news-guy ran a red lite and "rear-ended a lingering SLUT" :)

Skip to comments.The Amici Brief (The MSM claim that Plame was outed 1990's)
Posted on 11/07/2005 6:42:13 PM PST by Zacs Mom
In spite of current articles and editorials to the contrary, in March of this year, 36 major news organizations and professional reporters' groups (including CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, Reuters, The Associated Press, The Tribune Company, The Washington Post, The New York Press Club and The White House Corespondents) argued that NO CRIME had been committed in the Plame Leak case because, among other things, Valerie Plame's identity had previously been disclosed to both the Russians and the Cubans!
On March 23, 2005 these 36 "esteemed" news organizations and professional reporters' groups filed this linked legal motion which includes the following argument:
Over the course of the lengthy Plame investigation the volume of disinformation, misinformation and lies by omission overtly and systematically disseminated to the public by countless sources has been unfathomable! It has become (by design, I think) a case of "If you can't dazzle them with your brilliance, baffle them with your BullSh*t" and a person with the sincere desire to be "well informed" can easily be overwhelmed by it all!
Seeing, hearing and reading the same "news" on different networks, in numerous magazines and in different newspapers automatically lends an air of authenticity to the information and repetition creates credibility, regardless of merit! So, in view of the current rhetoric spurred by the Libby indictments, I think a review of this motion is in order.
While I admit I am in somewhat of a 'catchup' mode with regard to this story, I actually have been trying to follow this case fairly diligently lately. Even so, until this morning, I somehow missed reading this brief. I was aware it existed and somewhat familiar with what it entailed because, as I mentioned, it has been discussed in some of the articles and posts I have been reading. I did not realize, however, until I actually saw and read the filing the genuine significance of this single document. Seeing, in black and white, the names of the organizations involved in making the assertion that NO CRIME was committed was stunning to me and their declaration that Plame had been outed in the 1990's outraged me!
When I compare the MSM's current coverage of this story to their claims in this document it becomes clear to me that they are, in fact, beyond complaisant in an overt campaign to discredit and disable the Presidency of George W. Bush. They are demonstrably active facilitators of an ongoing and escalating seditious attempt to overthrow a sitting president!
The majority of people I know have jobs. They also have families and homes, hobbies and friends. What they do not have is the time required to wade through hundreds of articles, emails and posts in an effort to gain 'knowledge'. In fact, some don't even have ready access to the bulk of available information. Hard as it may be for some of us to believe, not every home has (or wants, for that matter) an on-line computer and many households that do rarely use their computer as their resource for "news". And among those who do use their computer as a resource for "news" generally access the traditional "news" outlets.
What troubles me is how few citizens are even cognizant of the fact the most of the "information" avail to them through the traditional venue is engineered by a handful of huge mega-corporations who totally control the flow of news, information and entertainment within this country ~ this includes books, magazines, television, newspapers, movies, music, internet access, etc.,etc. Shielded behind the cloak of 'journalism', without regard for truth, accuracy, or impartiality, these information brokers continually present us with carefully manufactured versions of world events and most of us are unaware that 'news' stories repeated by numerous, and seemingly 'different' sources, are actually choreographed illusions designed to manipulate public opinion.
The war on terror is not the only war being fought right now. "There's a war out there and it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think ~ it's all about information." The Federation Of American Scientists
We are under attack from an insidious enemy within and we need to take this very seriously! Perhaps what we really need is a Special Prosecutor appointed to investigate the collusion involved in the on-going efforts to unseat George W. Bush!
What do they know? Everyone knows what right wing fanatics the MSM is. </sarcasm>
I say this in jest, but I guarantee you that is what the DUmmies will claim.
Bumped and bookmarked.
Nice job.
"in an overt campaign to discredit and disable the Presidency of George W. Bush. They are demonstrably active facilitators of an ongoing and escalating seditious attempt to overthrow a sitting president!"
Thank you for this post--I didn't see your other one.
I remember seeing this discussed before but I had forgetten.
Most excellent post!
This sounds very much like the request for investigation that I sent to the CIA/IG and posted on FR. If any of my information was used, thank you for using it!!!! If not, good work on your own!!!
We are in an information war!!! It is time to take on big media and beat them at their game.
And now their saying that Bush lied? Looks like bumbing down of the schools/education is paying off. But not for the MSM. They can't keep from fumbling while attempting treason.
[Watergate Complex 2700 Virginia Avenue NW Washington, DC 20037]
There are so many people who have admitted that Plame hadn't been covert in years that I'm surprised there was even an investigation.
Evidently he's a smart Democrat stooge. They are good at ignoring things they want to ignore.
Looks like Wilson will need to demand that the MSM retract this brief, THEN demand that Vallely retract his statement. Gee, Joe, yer really starting to look really stupid. AND treasonous by the way.
McCarthy of The National Review Online wrote an article on this brief this past summer. It made some of my liberal friends stop in their tracks.
Tonight, the Fox news 'crawl' at the bottom of the screen said that sales of a book Scooter Libby wrote a while ago have increased since his indictment and subsequent resignation over the leaking of a CIA agent.
I called Fox to say they need to correct this since Libby was not indicted for leaking the name of a CIA agent.
A screen crawl may seem insignificant, but, I'm tired of the injustice and the media's intentional distortions.
*Bump for later*
Don't have to be smart when smearing conservatives. Just wear the name lapdog.
Rush has lately been occasionally saying that "the media" are not in the pocket of the Democratic Party - the Democratic Party follows journalism.
It is easy to see why "objective" journalism would be leftish.
Liberalism includes a de facto cabal of journalists who go along and get along with each other. The idea around which liberalism coheres is that NOTHING actually matters but PR.
- First because it is arrogant to claim, and especially arrogant to debate on the basis of a claim, of a virtue. The arrogance of claiming objectivity leads to negativity towards the people who make the country work.
- Second, because journalism's deadlines make journalism superficial compared to a book which might someday be written about whatever subject journalism treats on a given day - and most subjects journalism reports are not even worth writing a book about.
Main Stream Media Exonerates
White House Administration in CIA Leak Case
Get Matt Drudge on the phone.
Burning Down The White House
The conspiracy to bring down a sitting president that went horribly awry... for the conspirators. Mystery, intrigue and corruption that makes Impeached President Clinton's perjury and obstruction of justice appear a mot point.
* * *
Even as I type a book(s) is being written.
You notice that Victoria Toensing was one of the attorneys who filed the motion.
She had this great article yesterday:
I wrote my Congressman and sent him the article. It is time for Congress to fully investigate this...
Again, I ask everyone, in the name of justice, to withhold judgment until the testimony is complete.
Mr. Fitzgerald is following the law, in pursuing the case as directed by our administration.
This is not over. Have some patience. The Dems may find that if you dig into a can of worms that you opened, you are gonna get dirty.
Wouldn't it be ironic if it was discovered during this 'investigation' that Wilson was actually the one selling the yellowcake to Saddam?
That this is what they are trying to hide?
Why should it be a surprise that organized crime controls the major money sources. Hollywood, ABC,NBC,CBS,CNN,TNN.
And those who control that money, control those who can be bought.
And Bill and Hillary liked being bought.
Great post, Zacs Mom. You're right that we are in a war and the enemy is within. The GOP needs to stop power-sharing and worrying about Senate etiquette. Why did they suppress the Oct. 2003 Rockefeller memo? The 'rats are following their very public playbook, and the pubbies invite more abuse with their weakness (note the Islamic rioters and the French). If you figure out how to do a spine transplant, please let me know.
Do you have a link to your post about this request for investigation>? I would love to read it!
I think, based upon the CIA's cries that one of the agents had been compromised, there had to be an investigation.
The investigation itself doesn't trouble me ~ it's the misrepresentation of investigation by the media and the cRats that I consider an outrage!
I heard this afternoon on The Schnitt Show on 610AM in Miami that Lt. Gen. Thomas McInerney, USAF (RET), has joined Major General Vallely in saying that he, too, heard that weasel Wilson refer to his wife as a CIA Officer.
LOL, hope he sees it!
As well it should!!
What is NOT known is WHO at the CIA instigated
(1) the mission
(2) assigned/recommended/approved Wilson as the SINGLE person sent on the mission
(3) received the (oral) report when he returned
(4) financed and approved the money paid Wilson for his time (how much did he/her make on the trip?)
(5) Initiated the request to Justice for the "Edmund Fitzgerald" investigation to begin trying to dig up dirt and muck on Bush and Cheney AFTER the Noval column was written.
We need an investigation (a la Schumer/Reid) of whether somebody lied to cause this investigation to be initiated and whether that person(s) broke the law and should either be prosecuted or forced to resign.
Well all of the Administrative branches of the Federal Government report to GWB - he better start cleaning house!! Goodness knows there are enough auditors to shake a stick at within the Admin - I know since I worked for Government contractors most of my working life.
Sure we can all write our Congressmen and ask them to start an investigation of the CIA and DOS, and I have done that more than once, but I don't hold out much hope with some of the morons we have in Congress. Honestly, how does Kennedy keep coming back and back and back - I wonder what's wrong with MA. And CA has some duzzies also.
Interestingly, at the end of the Amici Brief the claim is made that it was Bush's "house-cleaning" at the CIA after his re-election that sparked this whole investigation.
Well, the media keeps sticking to the Fitzgerald story that Ms. Plame-Wilson was not known outside of the "intelligence community." That encompasses quite a few people/countries, I would think.
.....maybe they mean ""known"" as in the way the Bible does ?
Great thread; thanks for posting this!

"The Kia Rio is a cheap to run, comfortable and spacious supermini, that's backed up by Kia's excellent seven-year warranty for added peace of mind."
The Kia Rio hatchback is a supremely sensible supermini that's easy to drive and offers a decent amount of room for passengers and their luggage. It competes against firm favourites like the Ford Fiesta, Volkswagen Polo, Skoda Fabia and Vauxhall Corsa. While the Polo outshines it for desirability and the Fiesta is better to drive, the Rio is a thoroughly competent car, with a wide breadth of abilities – although it's quite slow, whatever engine you go for.
The Rio's standout feature is Kia's class-leading seven-year/100,000-mile warranty, which provides greater peace of mind than any other manufacturer can offer. The Rio is available as either a three or five-door hatchback and both offer excellent passenger space and a reasonably sized boot.
Kia offers the Rio with a range of small petrol and diesel engines. If economy is your top priority, the super-efficient 1.1-litre diesel engine can return up to 88.3mpg and is road-tax-exempt, but this engine is noisy and slow (taking 16.1 seconds to go from 0-62mph), so it's hard to recommend. The 1.4-litre diesel is a more appealing prospect. It's still capable of 74mpg and – while it's by no means fast, with a 0-62mph time of 13.4 seconds – it's easier to live with.
It's a similar story with the petrols. The entry-level 1.25-litre offers the cheapest route into Rio ownership, but it needs to be worked hard on the move, making the Rio somewhat unpleasant compared to cars like the Ford Fiesta, which is available with more modern and efficient turbocharged petrol power.
The 106bhp 1.4-litre petrol is the most powerful engine offered, getting the Rio from 0-62mph in 11 seconds – not blisteringly quick by any stretch of the imagination, but fast enough to make keeping up with traffic easy. Fuel economy of 56.5mpg means the 1.4-litre petrol is pretty economical, while CO2 emissions of 114g/km will leave you liable for just £30 a year in road tax.
The Kia Rio's firm suspension minimises body lean in corners, but it doesn't deal with potholes and poor road surfaces as well as some cars. The steering doesn't provide as much 'feel' as cars like the Fiesta, either, and it can seem a bit vague and imprecise when going around corners. On a long cruise it's comfortable enough, though, with little wind and tyre noise.
The Rio is available in four core trim levels, simply numbered from 1 to 4. The entry-level 1 is pretty well equipped, coming with DAB radio, electric front windows and Bluetooth phone connectivity, although the £800 Kia asks for the Rio 1 Air (which adds air-conditioning and little else to the basic car) seems steep.
Our pick of the range is the Rio 2, which adds alloy wheels, air-conditioning, a leather steering wheel and gearlever, as well as useful touches like a front central armrest and all-round electric windows.
In our 2015 Driver Power customer satisfaction survey, the Rio did well for reliability (where it came 39th out of 200 cars) and in-car technology (where it came 20th), but it was let down somewhat by a 178th-place finish for performance, something we can understand given the underwhelming engines offered. There are no such concerns over safety, however, with Euro NCAP awarding the full five stars to the Rio in its tests. It bears repeating that Kia's seven-year warranty is more than double what most manufacturers offer, so Rio ownership should be a hassle-free affair.
Find out what we think is the best small car by watching our video below.
MPG, running costs & CO2
The Kia Rio benefits from insurance groups as low as two for the 1.25-litre petrol engine, rising to seven for the 1.4 petrol and diesel models
Engines, drive & performance
The Kia Rio's 1.1-litre diesel engine's impressive fuel consumption comes at a price, with 0-62mph taking 16.1 seconds
Interior & comfort
The Kia Rio interior is well equipped and straightforward, but not very stylish
Practicality & boot space
There's plenty of room for people in the front and rear of the Kia Rio, but this has come at the expense of boot space
Reliability & safety
The Kia Rio has done well in our reliability surveys

The ongoing convection this afternoon coupled with best moisture and convective temperatures being reached will maintain low rain chances across the western half of the CWA. Mid level dry air has and will continue to filter into the Eastern and Southern areas so will keep rain chances limited to near zero. Models indicate that the inverted mid level trough to weaken as it takes on slow westward drift while mean relative humidity between 925 and 700mb drops over the next 24 hours. The limited moisture will keep rain chances at bay with guidance also confirming very low pops for tonight and Wednesday. Even with best moisture continuing to reside over the ranch lands the drier mid level air pushes westward through the day limiting the rain chances there as well. Unfortunately, the drier mid level air wont allow for our surface humidity to lower any as surface winds from the south to southeast will keep the lower layers teaming with higher humidity levels. This will allow for heat indices to approach 110 degrees in the Lower Valley tomorrow afternoon for at least a few hours. Otherwise, with Mid-Summer here to stay for a while temperatures are expected to remain slightly above normal. Long Term (Thursday through Tuesday): A strong ridge will remain positioned over the southwest United States and over the western North Atlantic, while a weakness in between the respective height centers will be positioned roughly from northeast Mexico to the mid Mississippi Valley. The weakness in between the height centers will allow for mild destabilization of moist air moving up from the southwest Gulf, thus favoring ongoing isolated convection for the lower Texas coast and for deep South Texas and the RGV. In a general sense, this will be manifested by nocturnal streamer showers and the sea breeze. More challenging will be pinpointing the specific details of these smaller scale phenomena. A model consensus does a fair job of reflecting low end mid day pops over eastern sections and keeping low end pops over the marine areas. The west Gulf weakness will tend to fill-in late in the week and into the weekend, with better subsidence helping to suppress already minimal convection chances. Still, some minor activity over the west Gulf will be almost unavoidable given the anticyclonic surface circulation over the Gulf pulling moisture up from the south. The GFS wants to regenerate a bit of an inverted over the west Gulf by early next week, as does the ECMWF, which also supports more palpable PoPs, but strong ridging over the central plains will resist much northward extension. In general, however, a daily mix of clouds and sun will be the norm through the long term, with temperatures running slightly above normal. MARINE: Tonight through Wednesday night...A moderate pressure gradient between broad surface high pressure over the gulf and lower pressure associated with lee side trough over Northeast Mexico to maintain a moderate south to southeast wind and a low to moderate sea. Winds may briefly peak in the exercise caution level over portions of the Laguna Madre Wednesday afternoon. Thursday through Sunday...Broad high pressure will reign supreme across the Gulf, resulting in light to moderate south southeast winds and low to moderate seas. Isolated showers will be possible during the period. && .BRO Watches/Warnings/Advisories... TX...None. GM...None. && $$ This product is also available on the web at: HTTP://WEATHER.GOV/RGV 63

A Whole New World
A Whole New World
By Jim Burton
Rocky Mountain Raceways Marketing Communications Director
Whoa, are you kidding me?
That … was … awesome!
In just two sentences, that pretty much sums up my experience in my new job as Rocky Mountain Raceways' Marketing Communications Director. I started back in April and during the past five-plus months I feel like I've been baptized in nitro methane.
See, I've worked in the sports world for more than a quarter of a century, mostly as a journalist, covering what my new racing buddies call, "stick-and-ball" sports. From 1991 until the spring of this year I worked at the Standard-Examiner in Ogden. There I covered pretty much every "stick-and-ball" sport you can imagine, from University of Utah basketball under big Rick Majerus, to BYU football under LaVell Edwards, to nearly a decade on the Utah Jazz/NBA beat. I also spent a lot of time writing about minor league baseball, golf and even hockey, but precious little about drag racing, oval racing or motocross.
So, why am I here? Well, in late 2014 I saw that RMR was looking for someone to do public relations. Although I didn't know a lot about racing, I knew a ton about covering sports and I had a good working relationship with most of the Salt Lake-area media market.
And I also knew RMR General Manager Mike Eames from my days working at the Standard-Examiner.
I liked the idea of a new challenge and I welcomed the opportunity to learn more about the racing world, so I interviewed with the good folks here at RMR and eventually landed the job.
In case anyone is wondering, I love it out here.
From the very beginning I found all the new sights, sounds and even the smells (most of them anyway) completely exhillerating. I hadn't been on the job more than a few weeks when we had our first dual Test & Tune of the season. Needless to say, I didn't get a lot of work done that day. Instead I found myself walking around track taking in the speed and jaw-dropping excitement of the Young Kia Drag Strip and the thunderous horsepower of the America First Credit Union Super Oval.
And on the other side of the facility I discovered the high-flying excitement of motocross. It was cool watching the savvy veteran riders make all the jumps and take all the turns, and it was a hoot watching the little kids bravely test themselves on the same course.
In fact, the same thing applies to drag strip and the oval. Because I wasn't really familiar with such things, I was amazed – delighted, even – to see kids participate in Jr. Dragster and Quarter Midget events.
Earlier, I mentioned that first duel Test & Tune of the season and how much fun I had taking it all in. One of my fondest memories will be standing on top of the berm looking, north to the oval and south to the strip. One minute I was watching Maverik Modifieds barreling around Turns 1 and 2, the next I was watching dragsters rumble to life before blasting off on the quarter-mile.
And the noise, oh baby! As I stood there I could feel the roar reverberating from the bottoms of my shoes to the top of my head.
I'm actually glad it was so loud, otherwise the people around me would have heard the new guy giggling like a little kid on his first trip to Disneyland. And they probably would have heard my shouting, "Whoa, are you kidding me? That … was … awesome!"

and nobody knows how the fight started. Zimmerman killed the other person present. For all anyone knows Zimmerman attacked trayvon first and intended to shoot him all along.
what is know is that Zimmerman is racist, has a history of violence and had his bail revoked for being a liar.
What we ałso know is that Zimmerman was acquitted. Jimmy carter agrees with jury. Bill Cosby agrees. Charles Barkley agrees too. Mesa, you are a racist.
so what, OJ was acquitted.
like I said, Zimmerman started the affair because of his racist and stupid ASSumption and because he was a bully who decided to follow. Nice how you think Zimmerman is not responsible for his own bad decisions. and btw. For all ANYONE knows, Zimmerman attacked trayvon. Easy to see you are the typical racist in denial about your own racism
Still on your rant? Everything Zimmerman said has been backed up by witnesses. If you don't want to get shot don't attack people. I went to school with this type of punk. I know what trhey are like.
Well mesa, it must simply be an over-riding obsession that brings twisted joy to your black rotting heart!!
You never give up lying... an endless 24/7 stream of Pigshyt spew!!
There's a very nasty place in Hell reserved for you!
Bet on it!

WASHINGTON (AP) - OK, Mr. President, let's see how you do picking the pro game. President Barack Obama was on his way to the Marine One helicopter when a reporter asked who the First Fan liked in the NBA championship, the Los Angeles Lakers or the Orlando Magic?
Said the smiling president: "Lakers in six, I think."
The president's picks have been spot-on so far. A huge basketball fan, he correctly predicted that that the University of North Carolina men's basketball team would win the NCAA championship.

Hot answers tagged selling-mechirat-chametz
As with many questions of this type, the answer is "it is a machlokes" You would have to consult your specific Rav. The OU actually goes into some details on this. What's the Truth about . . . the Sale of Chametz on Pesach? The utensils themselves present more of a challenge. The question of what to do with chametzdik, non-kasherable dishes is ...
The lubovitcher rebbe discussed this and made a chiddush that tevilah is only required where the non jew had access to the utensils. He also suggested that because of today's manufacturing processes this may not be fufilled and possibly today's utensils do not require tevillah hence some chabad do not make a brachah because of a safek brachah. Likutei ...
Qiẓur Shulḥan 'Arukh - Yalqut Yosef (Yoreh De'ah 120:24) states (my translation): כלים של חמץ שנכללו בשטר המכירה של מכירת החמץ, ראוי להחמיר הטבילם בלי ברכה For Ḥameẓ utensils included in one's Sale of Ḥameẓ contract, it is proper to be stringent and to immerse them [once they return to one's possession] without a blessing.

A cure for your corporate headaches
I have received a reminder from the Inland Revenue regarding my self-assessment tax payment due on July 31 for the 2002-03 tax year - but it seems too high. I am a self-employed computer consultant and my earnings for the tax year to April 5 2003 have been lower than expected. Can I reduce the tax payment?
July 31 is a key tax self assessment deadline. It is the date when those who have to make payments on account in relation to their tax liabilities for 2002-03 need to hand the second instalment to the taxman.
The tax bill you have received from the Revenue will have been calculated on the total liability to income tax and Class 4 National Insurance contributions from the last tax year. If your taxable earnings for 2002-03 are less than they were last year, you may be able to reduce your tax payment due on July 31.
A reduction in the payment on account is good for cashflow but you need to be careful. If you reduce the payment and it turns out that you have not paid enough tax to meet your liabilities, interest will be charged from the date when the tax payment fell due.
If you do decide that you can reduce your payment on account you need to let the Revenue know by filling in a special form called an SA 303 which is available from local tax offices or from their website (www.inlandrevenue.gov.uk). You need to state what figure you are reducing the payment to and the reason for the reduction.

Officer Randy Jokela had been reassigned to administrative duty after department officials learned he had written nearly 80 percent of all the marijuana tickets issued in Seattle between January 1 and June 30.
The veteran officer, who was assigned to the West Precinct Bike Unit, personally wrote 66 of the 83 marijuana citations handed out this year, Seattle Police Chief Kathleen O'Toole said.
In many cases, O'Toole said the officer added notes on the tickets requesting the attention of Seattle City Attorney Pete Holmes. Holmes, who has been a vocal supporter of marijuana legalization, is referred to in many of the tickets as "Petey Holmes."
In one ticket, the officer wrote that he found two people smoking marijuana and made them flip a coin to decide which person would be cited.
"(Suspect) lost the coin flip so he got the ticket while the other person walked. (Suspect) was allowed to keep his pipe," the ticket reads.
In another ticket, the officer refers to Washington's voter-enacted changes to marijuana laws as "silly," according to O'Toole.
While Jokela is back on patrol, the internal department investigation is ongoing.
"Chief O'Toole and (Office of Professional Accountability) Director Pierce Murphy conferred and believed that nothing in the ongoing investigation precluded him from returning to his patrol duties," said SPD spokesman Drew Fowler.

During press rounds at Comic Con, actor Benedict Cumberbatch let slip a comment that didn't confirm but did seem to suggest that rumors of actor Simon Pegg making a small appearance in "Star Wars: Episode VII" are true.
Speaking with Vulture, Pegg was asked about this and said he won't be seen on screen. He uses his wording very carefully though, in such a way that it now has people thinking he'll have a voice role:
"Well, J.J. uses me in different roles, and we're good friends. I feel like my face in Star Wars would pop people out of the movie. Look, I love Star Wars, and I don't want people to watch and go, 'Oh, there's Simon Pegg's face.' The film is cleverly cast with these amazing, unknown actors."
When asked outright if he wasn't in the film, he smiled and said:
"Of course I visited the set. It's amazing, and I love Star Wars. I want to see everything happening. It looks wonderful, and you need to believe those characters. Any type of stunt casting might just pop you out of the movie."
In related news, filmmaker Rian Johnson has dropped some comments about his work as writer/director of "Star Wars: Episode VIII". Unsurprisingly, they're mostly vague and/or jokes with the sworn to secrecy filmmaker telling Filmspotting: "With these films, I am trying to harken back to the original 'Star Wars' …. Christmas special. We have Jefferson Starship."
When asked about how he got hired for the gig, he similarly joked: "I can only assume it was a clerical error, like in the movie 'Brazil.' There's a Brian Johnson out there who is really mad."

If there are any players left in free agency that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers want, the team has the means to get them.
According to the latest salary-cap figures, the Bucs are $13 million under this year's cap. They'll need $3 million to $4 million to sign their draft picks and they'll also want to carry some room into the season in case they have injuries and need to bring in replacements.
That means the Bucs still should have somewhere around $7 million to spend on free agents. I wouldn't expect too much activity right now. It's more likely the Bucs will go through the draft and then see if they still have some holes to fill.
And, for those keeping an eye down the road, Tampa Bay is in pretty good cap shape for 2015. At the moment, the Bucs have $104.5 million committed toward a cap that is likely to be over $130 million.

In a widely reported case, a St Andrews student, Paul Donnachie, has been convicted in Cupar Sheriff Court of "acting in a racially aggravated manner which caused distress or alarm" to a Jewish fellow-student. One significant aspect of Sheriff Charlie McNair's judgement was his finding that the student's identification with Israel is part of his Jewish identity, so that to attack him on those grounds constitutes a racially aggravated offence. http://www.scojec.org/news/2011/11viii_st_andrews/st_andrews.html

If you held a UW-paid GAIP-eligible appointment in fall or winter, subsequently lost your UW-paid coverage, enrolled in the self-pay option at the time you lost your coverage, you can continue self-paying through the month of September. See Self-Pay information.

You will be notified via the summer quarter memo of the summer quarter enrollment deadline for adding/dropping dependents. It will typically be on or around June 20.

I need some advice for my game?

1. Will people play games with voices (actors)? I mean since I am a ONE man (teen I guess as I am 16) Dev team? I will add text for characters.
2. Suggestions for type of game modes? (Have a couple, want to hear more from ppl).
3. Is Greenlight (steam) hard to get into? I will probably publish on XBL (ID@Xbox).

You may be a long way from publishing, so those thought should be placed on the back - burner so you can concentrate on your game design and implantation first.
You do not have to be a one man (Teen) on this adventure at your age, Unless you are totally obnoxious and have absolutely no friends. You should be able to find enough male and Female Actors (Friends whom may find this project fun and would be willing to help with voices and ideas for a verbal script).< Maybe even game direction>
I am not familiar with the game so commenting on that. But based on what I think you want to do, In side scroller mode I would keep things as a text based based communications. When an event is triggered, then you can go to a background noise / sounds with the voices providing intrigue and prompting.
Mixing a audio & Text script could be a challenge on the design side. Use audio to set-up the situation and text to provide interaction with the player.
Example : Audio in a Tavern " I hear there has just been a murder at the Quiggly Hotel"
Player Prompts : 1) Ask Where is Hotel 2) Ask Who Got Murdered <And so On > Response to 1 "The Quiggly Hotel is located at 3rd Street and Main Ave
Response to 2 "One of the guest, a Movie Star Actress Named Anna Marie
The rest is now up to you. But that is my opinion

Maybe someone can figure out why the assemblage of "Code Breakers," as they're called, are mostly wearing blue? Otherwise, I'm wondering about all the beaming when it comes to the demographics, and the uniformity.
Let us suppose that somewhere there may be a valid reason, in spite of twenty-plus alleged victims, for which one refuses to believe Bill Cosby has ever harmed a woman -- conspiracy is simply not one of them.
I do not think anyone should feel ashamed for not feeling the way all the screens tell us we should feel. If you are sad while we are farthest away from the sun, while everyone else seems to be having a holly jolly Christmas, you are not flawed.
I admit that it would be nice to pin our body image hang-ups to one dartboard. It would be super keen if we could lay blame at the feet of the music industry, our seventh grade gym teacher or the guy (and let's face it, it was totally a dude) who invented the tube top.
It seems like there are more people to draw now than ever. There's an endless stream of people who want to claim icon status today and that's more difficult now because there are so many forums to be considered famous in.
August Getty is still reeling with excitement from his first showing at New York Fashion Week. At a mere 20-years-old, August is one of the youngest designers to show on a main stage during this prestigious event. Knowing that August is such a talented and colorful character, I thought it would be fitting to introduce him to all of you.
The word glamorous can mean different thing to different people. Being someone who believes glamour is simply wearing makeup, I'm guessing that my definition of glamorous is pretty different than say Kim Kardashian.

To fit in with locals, it's best to leave behind any sweatpants, baseball caps, flip-flops and white sneakers. Parisians are generally quite stylish, but that doesn't necessarily mean extravagant haute couture outfits -- instead, think casual chic.
Pension plans should fire their expensive consultants, who are engaged in the zero-sum game of trying to pick "winning" fund managers, and switch to low-cost passive investing. There are a number of reasons, however, why that is not likely to occur.
At GLAM4GOOD, we search for stylish brands that truly empower the human condition. It's now the trend for fashion companies to claim they're making a difference somehow, but when GLAM4GOOD takes a closer look, all we find is false marketing. With MADE, it's different.

There is an increasing interest in India, to search for suitable alternative fuels that are environment friendly. This led to the choice of Mahua Oil (MO) as one of the main alternative fuels to diesel. In this investigation, Mahua Oil Biodiesel (MOB) and its blend with diesel were used as fuel in a single cylinder, direct injection and compression ignition engine. The MOB was prepared from MO by transesterification using methanol and potassium hydroxide. The fuel properties of MOB are close to the diesel and confirm to the ASTM standards. From the engine test analysis, it was observed that the MOB, B5 and B20 blend results in lower CO, HC and smoke emissions as compared to diesel. But the B5 and B20 blends results in higher efficiency as compared to MOB. Hence MOB or blends of MOB and diesel (B5 or B20) can be used as a substitute for diesel in diesel engines used in transportation as well as in the agriculture sector.

Dewey & LeBoeuf Sued for Failing to Pay Janitorial Services
Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP, the New York-based law firm seeking to avoid implosion, was sued by a unit of ABM Industries Inc. for not paying its bill for janitorial services.
ABM Janitorial Services-Northeast filed the suit in New York state Supreme Court today, accusing the law firm of failing to pay about $299,000 for janitorial and related cleaning services at its offices at 1301 Avenue of the Americas in Manhattan through April 30. ABM Industries is based in New York.
Dewey is a shell of what was once the 11th-largest U.S. law firm. More than 120 partners, including three out of four remaining co-chairmen, have bolted the firm, and 450 employees were fired this week.
Michael Sitrick, a spokesman for Dewey, didn't immediately return a telephone message seeking comment on the lawsuit.
The case is ABM Janitorial Services v. Dewey & LeBoeuf, 651645/2012, New York State Supreme Court (Manhattan).

Man accused of 'body slam' in domestic assault
BARRE — A Granite City man is facing a charge of strangling a woman and slamming her to the ground.
Devin W. Lynch, 24, pleaded not guilty to felony aggravated domestic assault in Washington County criminal court Monday. If convicted, he faces a maximum of 15 years in prison and a $25,000 fine.
According to the police affidavit, Lynch got upset with the woman Wednesday, grabbed her by the throat and "body slammed" her to the ground, sending her to the hospital.
The woman told police Lynch grabbed her throat so hard that she could not breathe and also had injuries to her right leg and foot. She said Lynch had strangled her in the past to the point where she was in fear for her life.
A police officer said he saw bruises on her right thigh and foot, which the woman said were from the altercation. Police said Lynch had fled from the scene before their arrival.MORE IN This Just In

Jefferson SnoPackers
Who We Are
We are residents of Jefferson and the surrounding towns who enjoy the pleasures of Maine winters which include snowmobiling, cross country skiing and snowshoeing. We currently have approximately 20 club members but less than 10 participating in our snowmobile club. New members are always welcomed and highly needed these days to help keep snowmobiling in Jefferson an activity.
Where We Ride
Locally we have over 45 miles of maintained trails in Jefferson ranging from Washington to Nobleboro and from Waldoboro to Whitefield. Maintenance on 35 of those miles is funded by the Department of Conservation via snowmobile registration fees. Our trails interconnect with those of neighboring clubs like the Damariscotta Lake Club club to the south, the Washington Hill and Gully club to the north, the Waldoboro Snowcrawlers to the east and WJW club to the west. We also take club trips up state and ride some fabulous MSA trails.
What We Do
Our members volunteer their time and effort to gain landowner permission, clear trails in preparation for the season and groom trails whenever there is sufficient snow. We have annual events which include a Radar Run, a Drag Race, our club trip, our Landowner's Appreciation Lobster Dinner, regular club meetings, pot luck dinners and a fun filled Christmas gift auction at our December meeting.
We Support Our Community
Our goal is to respect landowner property and leave it as we found it or in better condition. We give back to our communities much of the proceeds from our fund raising raffles and Radar Run. Some funds go to equipment needed for trail maintenance and the rest goes back to the Jefferson Sports Association, the Jefferson Fire and Rescue Squad, the the Jefferson Area Foodbank and other local charitable causes.
When and Where We Meet
From September through April we meet on the first and third Tuesday of the month at 7:00 PM an the Damariscotta Lake Watershed Association office located across the street from the Damariscotta Lake Farm Restaurant on Circle Drive at the site of the old marina. We welcome cross country skiers and snowshoers to join our club and use the trails. If you enjoy using the trails, please join the club!
For more information, call Scott at 841 6253, Marty at 441 5264 or Joe at 549 3253

Would taking my utility down to 0% help at all?
Any suggestion on charge card? I had been looking at the Zync until it went away. Would I be better off finding another card to get?
I am wondering if it is worth the inquiry for the chance to get a backdate year of 2012. Since there is only a month and a half left in the year, my revolver won't age that much before 2012 is gone.
Under 10% will be best, beyond that the results are negligible. That being said your current util prob won't prevent you from being approved... If you don't mind the inquiry go for it, I think the PRG has a promo for a waived annual fee for the first year.

Christmas Bells Are Ringing
"When we were kids, I remember always listening for the sleigh bells my mom put on our front door. It usually meant that family members were coming in—with gifts. Now, every time I hear them I remember running to the door as a kid to see who was there and quickly scope for shopping bags and wrapped boxes."

Editorial Reviews
"Highly recommended."
"This little volume is small in size only. There are over 300 terms defined in this book. It is a quick reference to key people in church history such as Augustine, Anselm, Aquinas, Luther, Calvin and a host of other major players. You can get a bird's-eye view without having to do long and arduous research. These books are affordable and to one who teaches, they are a handy quick reference."
"A Bible study resource that I can recommend for many reasons. The dictionary is small and easy to fit on a book shelf. It is of course economical. Church history is an interesting and important subject for any Christian who wants to understand the church: where it has been, and where it is going. Thanks Dr. Feldmeth, for giving the people in the pews an easy to use resource for getting a handle on that!"
"This is simple a great little resource for seminary students or really anyone who has at least a passing interest in becoming aquainted with some of the foundational figures, events and theological terms in the history of the church."
"Impressive. The artivles have a comprehensive view of church history touching on all the major traditions and denominations. Dates and essential content are conveyed in readable, clear prose. For a small source, the research and arrangement are very impressive. Anyone needing to take account of persons, movements, events and doctrines will find good material in the Pocket Dictionary."

Re: NO Dice with Amex Backdate..
[ Edited ]
10-02-2012 09:30 PM - edited 10-02-2012 09:31 PM
in all fairness AAOA is a bull crud way to factor your score, Amex used to give an edge for being a customer. For instance if I had a Capital One Platinum for 10 years then upgraded and got a Capital One Venture for rewards. Why should my credit score suffer because I changed cards within the same company??? 10 years would go to 5 if those two cards were the only ones reporting. THERE IS NO REASON A LOYAL CUSTOMER should get hurt just for signing up with a better program.
Also if you go to a restaurant and eat, a new restaurant comes out is it right for the old restaurant owner to talk crud about you damaging your reputation to the new restaurant owners calling you a traitor? cause that's basically how AAOA works. If you get ANY new account it hurts you. Doesn't make you a higher risk for anything. Especially if your within the same company. I'm sure a lot of people would sacrifice their old card to upgrade within the same company if they allowed that without sacrificing AAOA.
Amex backdating isn't 100% perfect but it's still A LOT more fair than any other credit card companies in the industry.
