I am a member of RAFT, the Regional Alliance for Transit. We were asked to propose principles for RAFT to advocate in the coming period, leading up to the next Regional Transportation Plan, to be published by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission in 2013. This is a slightly revised version of a paper with which I responded originally in the Fall of 2009.
January 16, 2010
Proposed principles for RAFT
RAFT urges these principles on the MTC and other regional agencies:
-- Reflecting on-the-ground practical realities, land use and transportation public policies and investments should be fully integrated.
-- Using both land use and transit policy, all new growth and settlement intensification should advance the region toward a Bay Area that is much less automobile-reliant. This means purposefully replacing the old goal of maximizing motorized mobility by instead prioritizing walking and bicycle access, and steadily reducing individual auto movement by supporting and improving collective (transit) travel. This is intensified "smart growth," a long-range, post-suburban vision of a Bay Area that avoids sprawl and pursues "walking transit-oriented development" (WTOD), creating carefully designed high-density "Centers" around transit stations and stops.
-- In its planning work, MTC should advance in letter and spirit the sustainability purposes of SB 345 and California's legislation for climate protection, AB 32. Responding vigorously to the imperative of climate protection, the Bay Area should aim strategically for the earliest possible carbon-neutral transportation system and region. Immediately foster the earliest possible replacement of unsustainable fossil transportation fuel (petroleum) by electric vehicles. This implies supporting state and national investment in non-fossil electric power supply to our region.
-- In service of the principles above, regional agencies should operate in a true regional perspective, not see themselves as coordinating and stapling together local and special interest projects.
-- The MTC and other agencies should practice transparency to the public in accounting and policy-making.
-- The MTC should seek functional improvement for every dollar of investment. Apply cost-benefit analysis in selecting all projects, and to all parts and levels of all projects. It should end the present practice of gold-plating some transit projects at the expense of other meritorious ones that go unbuilt.
-- In the management of regional circulation, the policy should be "Transit First," and connectivity of public transportation should be prioritized. Where needed in mixed situations, transit should receive operational priority, for example in bus control of traffic signals.
1. Michael Kiesling would like RAFT members to shape the wide range of their thinking into a set of principles. We'll then apply these principles as agreed standards to the proposals and projects that flow continuously through the region's public transportation policy process, particularly decisions by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission.
2. One RAFT member has proposed "transparency," particularly financial transparency, as a principle that we could call for regularly as we observe the MTC in action.
3. Another principle is surely that the MTC, with its very substantial data and analytic resources, should work on the Bay Area's nine counties as a true region. Greatest good for greatest number for longest-time span region-wide. In developing its quadrennial RTP and other plans, the commission should abandon its tradition of largely "stapling together" a collection of the essentially local or special interest projects and investments that are insistently advocated to it.
4 Land use and transportation should be analyzed and managed together, not isolated from one another in the bureaucratic tradition that MTC and ABAG clung to for years. This just reflects the basic reality that land use and transportation are in fact and on the ground totally entwined with each other.
5. In a region-wide, long-term perspective, MTC should apply cost-benefit analysis more consistently and and also more broadly. Working within the modernizing vision of our second principle, the MTC should generally be more technical, analytical and long-range in its planning, and less "political," meaning less responsive to narrower local and institutional interests which often dominate regional planning and investment now, and which generate many sub-standard investments. The commission needs to learn to fight the bias that comes with its composition by locally elected officials.
6. The Commission should avoid what might be called internal violations of cost-benefit standards. This means that in a situation of huge demand for transportation and smart growth capital, the MTC should avoid wasteful goldplating of the projects it selects once they are agreed upon. Every feature, not just the overall concept and function of a project, should justify its costs. This is where some of the most expensive and egregious errors are made. The MTC invests in transit, which at the strategic level is correct and meets the cost-benefit criterion, but at the tactical level, actual transit projects, including major ones, are often wasteful, parochial and inefficient. Because the merits at the strategic and the tactical levels diverge, this kind of waste is much more difficult for transit advocates to fight, although its costs mount into the many billions. Examples are the BART extension to SFO, extending BART to San Jose, the Oakland Airport Connector, and the Muni Central Subway in San Francisco. (Building a new west span of the Bay Bridge from scratch for $6 billion, rather than seismically upgrading the existing bridge, can be also be seen as an extravagant version of a necessary project, and is a major mis-allocation of resources.)
7. "A region-wide perspective, technical scrutiny, systemic cost-benefit analysis, and a long range view," however could be seen as process improvements, not substantive goals. Beyond calling for them, RAFT believes that the region as a whole, and specifically MTC, should point toward a vision of the region's future which is very different from a simple extrapolation of the status quo. Although our focus is on the MTC, RAFT believes that all the regional organizations, such as MTC, ABAG, BAAQMD and BCDC, should be employing their regional reach, and the professional skills of their staffs, to work out the implementing specifics of that goal, the "New Bay Area," (is this overall name good or bad? Centered Bay Area?) and to encourage steady movement along a path toward it. RAFT has clear thoughts on how that goal situation differs from the present situation, and what it should look like.
8. RAFT wants the relevant regional transportation and land use planning authorities to move decisively away from the region's traditional automobile-freeway transportation system toward transit-oriented land use planning and much greater use of high-quality public transit (electrified, mostly rail-based and already existing). This implies reversing the long standing pattern that the region grows through outward geographic extension (sprawl). Population, as well as qualitative, growth is inevitable and desirable for the Bay Area with its vigorous very modern economy and attractive and complex geography of water and hills. Exactly contrary to further outward sprawl, the region, should be increasing population density in its already urban areas, which will make the provision of transit more economically feasible and self-supporting. In a large region with both cities and suburbs, it means moving from a suburban vision to one that is more urban, stressing for example, maximizing personal access to destinations, often through walking proximity, in place of an endless effort to increase motorized personal mobility across the substantial distances within the region. Within the cities, this goal is sometimes sloganized as "Transit First." In this regime sought by RAFT, vehicle miles traveled (VMT) will go down.
9. Land use and transportation planning strongly influence each other. The land-use corollary of "Transit First," is Transit Oriented Development (TOD), and the strongest form of TOD is walkable TOD (WTOD), in which housing and other destinations are grouped closely enough to high-frequency transit service so that people can walk to their transit station or stop, rather than use cars to reach them. Such stations/stops are likely to have plazas, then mixed uses, civic facilities and housing around them. They are not surrounded by large parking lots.
10. Carbon dioxide from human energy use is the main cause of global warming, the great threat of our age. For RAFT this makes systematic reduction and early elimination of carbon emissions a critical and urgent goal of public policy in all spheres, very much including land use and transportation. In California, agencies at every level of government and society should suport AB 32 in letter and spirit. Public transportation emits less CO2 than do petroleum fueled cars. When it is electrically driven, as in the case of rail service or electrified buses, transit can emit virtually no CO2 if it uses power is generated without fossil fuels. Bay Area power is already more renewable than the national norm, and should be made entirely renewable as soon as possible.
11. It should be MTC's mission to provide the most possible access and mobility at the least possible cost. Due to its individual, retail character, transportation by private car is expensive. Collective transportation is in effect purchased wholesale, and systematically costs less.
12. There are limits to the rational scalability, or "market share", of the car-based mobility system. These limits differ in rural, suburban and urban settings, and therefore, the limits of the car-based system are inevitably an issue when urbanization is going on, as it is here. The present huge annoyance and expense (in time as well as money) of traffic congestion and parking make it clear that with automobiles providing 90+% of transportation, we have reached or exceeded those limits in many important parts of the Bay Area. Major long-term economic gains can now be harvested by stopping marginal tinkering with the automobile system (for example, Shoup-style reforms of parking and talk about "intelligent highways"), and instead evolving toward a structurally different and more urban system. RAFT believes that as the Bay Area moves into and through the next stages of its urban development, our region should avoid the temptation to overspend on mending and preserving the exhausted automobile system, and instead should focus, under MTC leadership, on designing and building a new, more efficient and more sustainable system of transportation, supported by appropriate land uses. In fact, MTC has to some considerable extent come over to this way of thinking. It now has a whole bubbling vocabulary about the thrills of change, but in fact this lip-service masks much inertia and resistance to change.
13. SB 345 is good. RAFT supports its vigorous affirmative implementation in letter and spirit, rather than the present cautious efforts to go very slowly and bureaucratically, despite the just mentioned "change" and "sustainability" window dressing.
14. The FOCUS program of the regional agencies' Joint Policy Committee, with its Priority Development and Priority Conservation Areas, (PDA and PCAs) is good. It is headed in the right direction toward TOD, but is too gradualist.
15. Gradualism in this field raises its own important problems because the amount of land in the Bay Area around transit stations/stops which can be used for TOD, especially serious, walking TOD, is physically finite. Once a transit-adjacent parcel of land is developed, but at an inadequate level of intensity, it is extremely hard to redevelop it again before at least a couple of generations have passed, because first-generation residents living at a relatively low density come to have a vested interest in resisting further or new development. This means that the initial low intensity development around a transit node, which is characteristic of a the present gradualist approaches, effectively rules out higher density development for the indefinite future. But the Bay Area is a growing, already significantly urbanized region with extremely high housing costs. Its core, the Bay-touching cities, needs a major expansion of housing supply, which is to say that it needs quite high-density TOD development, even though there is much traditionalist and NIMBY resistance to high densities. This significant point --that in this case gradualist sub-optimal projects are systematically harmful for needed denser good projects-- is clearly illustrated by the restrictions imposed on the Hayward Park development in San Mateo, and by the struggles about density increases and the height of buildings in downtown Berkeley with its major BART Station.
16. We can think of a much more transit-rich "New Bay Area", to be achieved over the coming thirty years. The "New Bay Area" is a vision, concept, or a "goal situation" which should control the land development and investment principles applied starting now. What would it look like?
A. It will be based on carefully designed nodes (Centers) of high population density built within about 2,000 feet around transit stations. They will be linked together by frequent very high quality transit (HQT) service, mainly rail or Rapid Bus, forming a regional network.
B. The overwhelming bulk of transportation will be provided between Centers by HQT, and within nodes by walking or bicycling, not by cars.
C. This creates a map to be overlaid on the geographic map of the region, featuring Centers (typically 10,000 people within walking distance around the transit station/stop) and their connecting links. RAFT believes that nodes and linking transit systems should absorb as much of the new incoming population of the next thirty years, and as much of the transportation investment as possible.
D. Among different kinds of transportation, the region should accelerate and exploit certain patterns which are already emergent, strengthening certain relationships, divisions of labor, and hierarchies. As between modes, transportation policy should should seek complementarity rather than competition. This means that for a given kind of trip or corridor, a judgment should be made and the best mode should be selected and favored for investment and optimization, rather than trying to treat modes "evenhandedly" and maintain a range of options for every transportation situation. A corollary of this is that connectivity should be stressed, and policy and station design should make transfers between modes (bus-rail, car-rail, bus-car, air-rail) as easy as possible.
E. Travel beyond 500 miles in length will normally be by air, while inter-regional travel between significant cities more than 100 miles, but less than 500 miles apart will normally be by rail, eventually High Speed Rail (HSR). Within the metropolitan region, travel between nodes is by frequent HQT. Travel between nodes and "the field," that is surrounding non-node areas, and between two destinations which are both in the field, will be by car. (In real life, there will be a set of middle options and territories: the hourly rental car, the taxi, buses and the bus-served spur from a main network trunk route served by HQT. These intermediate situations and facilities are omitted from this discussion to bring out the main ideas as clearly and simply as possible.)
F. Within metropolitan regions, proximity of destinations (bringing them to walking distance, and walking as such) are to be maximized. Richard Register's good motto is "The shortest distance between two points is to bring them closer together." A classic instance of this is that most people's house or apartment, and their supermarket, should be within walking distance of each other.
G. Beyond walking/biking distance, we will recognize two types of trips: Trunk trips (as in trunk line) and non-trunk trips. Trunk trips are trips which are common and frequent and for which significant public capacity is provided. Trunk trips generally include most home to work trips (commutes), radial (center-periphery) trips in a radially organized region, or trips between two nodes. The most basic principles of land and transportation planning policy for the coming decades should be two: 1) to use land in such a way that the share of trunk travel is maximized (i.e., pull people into nodes), and 2) to optimize/maximize the capacity, frequency and quality of public transit service on trunks. Such trunk transit can be highly specialized, and can be highly capitalized since it serves large number of people.
H. Non-trunk trips are all the others, in a certain sense a giant miscellany or residual category. Although in aggregate there may be more non-trunk trips than trunk trips (certainly, say, in a Los Angeles), each non-trunk trip is of low frequency, and they have little in common, which is why they cannot be grouped into trunks. Sideways trips in a radially organized region, multi-destination trips (since mode choice for a trip is controlled by the lowest frequency segment), trips with origins or destinations, or both, outside nodes (that is, in the "field" area), and significantly, trips, even on a trunk route, at a low-frequency time of travel, such as late at night, are generally non-trunk trips.
17. The attraction of the automobile is in its flexibility. Combined with the road system that has been built for it and now exists as a fixed asset, the car can go anywhere at anytime. It is genuinely an agent of personal freedom, which is part of its very deep and great appeal. It is great for non-trunk trips, which are by definition retail, one-off, and indeed it functions as the default, residual mode. The problem with the car comes when it comes out of that retail residual mode in relation to an adequate transit system, and the car becomes the universal mode, as it has in most of America. When the private car is used for trunk travel within a metropolitan region, rather than as the back-up, utility infielder in a system with transit, the misfit presents itself in the form of high expense, frustrating road congestion and the onerous burden of providing and using parking. In that case, the car is an unspecialized mode or instrument being used for a task that has grown large enough that it could be handled by a specialist instrument, and there is an inevitable loss of efficiency. This dysfunction is masked by the other roles that the car has come to play in our culture: status symbol, protective personal carapace, and so forth, but the bad fit in an urban setting between the car and its most basic function nonetheless takes a steady toll. As low cost, wholesale oriented Costco is gradually outcompeting and capturing the functions of true-retail Macy's, the car will be inexorably forced out of cities through its own inefficiency and the operations of the fundamental "natural" economy. But RAFT is urging the MTC and the Bay Area to look ahead, see the basic logics, and plan to accomplish the transition/replacement task faster and with less pain, rather than wait passively for economic forces blindly to work their course. If this modernizing change can be made quickly, the available gains, in money, time and quality of life, are huge.
18. A metropolitan region -- a Bay Area -- in which most trips by most people are handled by either walking or trunk transit, will be a better region--and more socially equal region. The world of the fossil-burning internal combustion engine automobile, today a large domain of waste and negative side effects will be substantially reduced in scope. In a "New Bay Area" there will be as much mobility and access as ever, or more, but they will cost less in both money and time, and the savings will be usable for other things, like education, health care, family life, recreational and cultural life, husbanding the environment, and ending poverty. Moving on as straight a path as possible toward this better city and region is what RAFT is all about. It is the task of transformation in which we are trying to enlist the MTC and other relevant public policy bodies.
A proximate climate protection target of opportunity.
19. Advancing these principles for a better metropolitan city is RAFT's purpose, and there is no reason to let go of it. The goal of a better Bay Area as RAFT sees it is a valid one. However, science and technology have in the last couple of decades have also revealed a major new problem and also created a major new set of policy options in metropolitan transportation. Familiar negative side effects of private transportation using the internal combustion engine (ICE), such as congestion were mentioned above. But now we have major new knowledge. An informed public knows, and the general public is learning, that the most important damage from mass automobile use is the very large scale emission of CO2 from petroleum-burning engines. The proportion of CO2 from cars is particularly high in the Bay Area. Greenhouse emissions are in themselves one of the most important reasons, and, alone, a fully sufficient reason, to reduce, and to end as soon as possible, mass use of the ICE car and truck. The long-range way to do this, and to achieve other important objectives, is to move as rapidly and decisively as possible toward the transit oriented metropolitan area that RAFT advocates as discussed above, in the context of a twenty year time-span running to 2030.
20. However, independent of progress toward more rational and efficient cities, a new and potentially much quicker way to end fossil greenhouse emissions from cars in a metropolitan region has emerged. This is the plug-in electric vehicle, either hybrid or entirely battery powered. With its relatively low-carbon electricity (2% coal, 45% natural gas) from a single, relatively progressive electric utility (PG&E), the Bay Area is well positioned to use electric drive to cut its transportation greenhouse emissions. Although the "New Bay Area" continues to be justified by other goals, if the introduction of vehicle electrification is smooth and rapid, it could promise quicker and deeper cuts in greenhouse emissions than steps toward a "New Bay Area."
21. There will doubtless be suburbanites, land use traditionalists and other interest groups eager to create an either-or relationship between the two policy paths of WTOD, on the one hand, and rapid diffusion of electric vehicles, on the other. That would be a mistake. They can and should be complementary. The two policies, WTOD and vehicle electrification, both target decarbonizing transportation, which is a RAFT goal, although switching to electric cars does not have all the positive results that RAFT seeks, notably in improving collective transit and in a more social and egalitarian urban layout. Both policies fall potentially within the operating area of the MTC and other agencies of the regional Joint Policy Committee, such as ABAG and the Air Board. The two policies differ mainly in their respective time ranges: vehicle electrification could be a seen as a short-range policy, an effective quick-fix or tech fix, while TOD is longer range, and in a sense more thorough, although even the most dynamic TOD policy will not remotely end car use for non-trunk trips and in the large non-node ("field") areas of the region. RAFT should vigorously advocate both policies to the MTC and other regional entities, including the cities and counties.
22. The regional agencies obviously cannot market electric drive vehicles. For the MTC and the other agencies, regional support at this stage in the emergence of electric cars (see Economist's September 3 review article) would present itself as a policy to hasten regional readiness. If effective, it is quite possible that the agencies could make our region the national leader in the introduction of electric vehicles. The MTC should put together a team with the Air Board, a few relevant state officials, and PG&E to review what the regional, county and city levels of government in the Bay Area can do to bring in BEVs and PHEVs as quickly as possible. The team could, for example, 1) propose public/private subsidies to make a free (and hands-free) plug-in point ready for each new BEV/PHEV buyer, either in their garage or in a public location, and 2) assure that owners of electric drive vehicles or plug-in hybrids will continue to have reduced rates for night-time off-peak power. A third step is debatable: the MTC has an unused public authorization to raise taxation on gasoline. This measure would increase the comparative cost advantage of both transit and electric vehicles region-wide, but it would be fraught with political risk. The Commission is unlikely to impose it without a great struggle.
23. Let's conclude with an alternative formulation of principles for RAFT to urge on the MTC:
1. MTC should practice financial and planning transparency.
2. MTC should plan for the region as a whole, not staple together a package of sub-regional projects.
3. MTC should actively cooperate with ABAG, BAAQMD and BCDC in integrating land-use planning and transportation planning. The interdependence of land use and transportation should be fully recognized. Public awareness that transportation savings can be realized through personal and public land use investments, and vice versa, should be increased.
3. MTC should practice cost-benefit analysis of both projects and policies, and also of the functional components of projects and policies. It should maximize functional performance of all its investments, and scrupulously avoid gold-plating in both whole projects and component projects and details.
4. In its planning work, MTC should advance in letter and spirit the sustainability purposes of SB 345 and California's legislation for climate protection, AB 32.
5. The MTC, ABAG, and the BAAQMD should move beyond its verbal commitments to Smart Growth and A Region of Villages, and should study and endorse the concept of Walking TOD (WTOD). Integrating land use and transportation planning, the regional agencies should systematically and operationally advance the transition toward a "New Bay Area" made up of a network of high density WTOD nodes in their planning and investment work.
6. MTC, ABAG and the BAAQMD should advance the implementation of WTOD in the Bay Area, both through fostering WTOD projects as these arise from other entities, and by intensely sponsoring particular experimental/demonstration WTOD projects.
7. MTC should give serious support to regional transit connectivity. When a project such as the TransBay terminal/Caltrain DTX, is within one city or county but has connectivity implications that are region-wide, MTC should define the project as regional, not local, and be ready to intervene or invest for regional goals.
8. MTC should seek to reduce, not increase automobile Vehicle Miles Travelled (VMT). It should do this by supporting land use planning that increases citizen access to frequent destinations through proximity rather than mobility, and by channeling regional mobility demands toward optimized trunk (high frequency) transit services.
9. In cooperation with BAAQMD, the State government and PG&E, starting now, MTC should invest to prepare the Bay Area proactively for the earliest possible diffusion of plug-in (partially or completely) electrically driven vehicles in order to reduce and eventually virtually eliminate the now massive greenhouse emissions from the region's transportation sector.

Shana Tovah! The Jewish New Year!
The Jewish new year is today, and is called Rosh Hashanah. Make sure you get yourself a delicious piece of honey cake and eat it up! Call your family and friends and wish them a "shana tovah!" which is Hebrew for "Happy New Year." Or save that line for the normal calendar year, and say it in 2008 to you pals at the new years party.
In 10 days, we will be observing Yom Kippur, which is the day the Book of Life is closed and sealed for the previous year. It roughly translates to "Having to say you are sorry." However those that have repented for their sins are granted a good and happy New Year. It is along the same lines of Lent, but instead of 40 days of "fasting," the fasting is sundown to sundown. While Yom Kippur is devoted to fasting, the day before is devoted to eating.
Bagels and Lox Ahoy!

New Rasmussen Poll Shows Dead Heat Between Mark Kirk and Alexi Giannoulias in U.S. Senate Race
The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey in the state finds Republican hopeful Mark Kirk tied with Democratic State Treasurer Alexi Giannoulias 41% to 41%. Only four percent (4%) would choose another candidate, while 13% remain undecided.
That 13% undecided is a bit lower that I might have thought, considering how far out we are from the general election. Real Clear Politics has a short blurb up, but I am sure this poll will get a lot of attention quickly, given how much is riding on this race and its relationship to the White House.
42 comments:
This should be the safest seat in the country for the democrats, they know they have 3 lackluster tier 3 candidates running against mark which is why the fundraising is so awful and they keep putting stories out about how they want a better candidate hoping someone gets in.
Cheryle Jackson makes a moron like pup look like Henry Kissinger she's that dumb from watching her on t.v. Hoffman is a grown up tikkun-mouthy and full of himself but completely out of his league.
Mark's win is going to go down with Daschles defeat in 04 as hardest kick in the dems senate groin of the decade. Starting January 2011 when he is sworn in, we'll see him reading eric elk talking points on sunday morning talk shows on foreign policy issues until we are old.
Glory Days are ahead Team America.

Pleasant thoughts, FOKLAES, although we'll have to get Elkman a good makeup artist and make him keep the whiskers shaven.
- October 19, 2009 at 3:44 PM
Elk would write the talking points not give the message, although with no statewide candidates on our side likely to win- Brady is the only one that gets my political elephant trunk erect, and he won't win-he'll be top GOP dog if Mark gives him state director and he'll need to be primed.
I'm looking forward to the line "Alexi just because you got hammered in tel aviv after a basketball game doesn't mean you understand the middle east."
Alexi "But I drank maniewietz wine so I totally know that we are fighting Haifa jihadis and Hezbollah is a town in Israel".

This poll is for an election 13 months away! Lets dig in for the long haul folks. One thing accurate about the poll is that a Mark Kirk win will be a close one.
I wonder if Mark could still win the Senate seat if the GOP didn't field a good candidate to win the 10th and vice versa?
- October 19, 2009 at 4:12 PM
the 10th is ground zero for the race. Everything else is more conservative or liberal in the city. If Mark eats Alexi's gyros here it's game over.
We're going to be vomiting the story about alexi's hoops game revelation by this time next year the way we vomited gash's soccer mommy crap and pup's obama comparisons.

Coulson showed up on chicago tonight this evening in her machine democrat suit with no new ideas and lots of blah. Time for cadigan, dold and green to show they have a couple and are serious about campaigning by taking the video, doing a little rapid response, taking her votes from springfield and tatooing her in a snazzy youtube hit.
Enough with what you did 15 years ago, show us you can hit 21st century pitching.
We're waiting.
- October 19, 2009 at 7:27 PM
The more Beth Coulson is seen, the less she is liked.
Likeable candidates win.
- October 19, 2009 at 7:48 PM
Just heard a Mark Kirk radio spot on WGN. The Kirk team isn't wasting a second to get his message out and get the campaign rolling along the way it should be. I'm not impressed with polls showing dead heats or anything else at this point in time. Mark needs to define himself, get his name and distinguished accomplishments out there for all to hear. With the bloom fading fast from the Obama rose, if ever there was a time for us to capture this Senate seat it's now. I've never been more optimistic about Mark's chances. As for Beth Coulson's chances, don't count her out just yet. She has name ID that others lack, will get some pretty good endorsements as she picks up the pace. No, I'm not endorsing her, but I'm just pointing out that just like Mark's race is far from over, so is Coulson's chances of holding onto this seat.
- October 19, 2009 at 7:55 PM
72 days to the election. Time to start showing what you got.
If you aren't going to bludgeon coulson now go back to your boy scout troop and stop wasting our time.
- October 19, 2009 at 8:24 PM
I don't know if I'd say I was mouthy or in over my head. Actually, I'm one of the more civil and restrained commenters here, and I've held my own pretty well, I think.
As an example, let's take a look at your math. It's 105 days to the election, not 72. There's still time for candidates to positively define themselves, which Cadigan seems to be doing. In a multi-way race, you have to set yourself up as the right alternative before throwing haymakers at the frontrunner. "Anybody but Coulson" messages would rely on a lot of luck (including ballot position) come election day.
- October 19, 2009 at 8:38 PM
Outside of crazy, this is actually pretty restrained. It's a lot better than catwoman or the verbal weapons of mass destruction that comrade jan's been spewing.
From what I saw on the berkowitz show cadigan has no message other than middle aged white guy that worked for porter-dold would be middle aged white guy that worked for quayle. Not exactly Western Union there telegraphing an idea to the voters.
Coulson and her buddy tom cross and hastert's boy and every other scum in this state that hasn't stood up and fought the democrats deserve a 1 way ticket out of party politics. Tonight Coulson put her head in the guillotine, hopefully one of these dudes will get his robespierre on and let the razor fall on her hideous record.
- October 19, 2009 at 8:47 PM
On Berkowitz, Cadigan showed he was inforemd on issues and could think on his feet for 30 minutes unafraid of the format. Before that, Cadigan had people like Patrick Collins,Steve Rauschenberger and Mike Schroeder testify to his character.
The 10th District doesn't go for that guillotine/robispierre you are suggesting. Kirk would tell you that.
- October 19, 2009 at 9:33 PM
New poll shouldn't be anything new for us Kirk veterans.
Mark Kirk in another "close" election. Wins another "close" election.
We should be used to this by now!

Cadigan doesn't have enough money to defeat the Democrats in a State Rep race let alone a top tier Congressional. Sorry man, you seem like a smart cool dude, but the dream is over.
- October 19, 2009 at 10:06 PM
cadigan answered questions for 30 minutes. Your average metra rider who reads realclearpolitics and ta's blog on the way in and weekly standard on the way home could do that. There was no message there as to why he wants to be congressman other than the fact that he's waited 18 years. Also he was sitting not standing and if he couldn't predict that it was going to be iran/afghanistan, corruption, economy, bailout, taxes, healthcare he doesn't belong in the race. It's not like he'll be asked his view on genital mutilation in MENA.
Mark knew how to go for the kill, to pounce on his target and devour his flesh. Ask the 4 losers he's beaten and the 5th in 13 months. If cadigan doesnt want to go after coulson for an awful record in springfield and demonstrate differences he should drop out.
If cadigan intends to let hamos drag her sorry old gizzard record around the north shore without going after it, the way he is giving coulson a pass, then forget him. We need a candidate who actually wants to fight and get in the scrum and see some democrat blood.
- October 19, 2009 at 10:19 PM
Cadigan needs to just give it up and realize that this is just not his time. His fundraising is in the tank and he will not get any support from Kirk Inc bec of their hostile relationship. For the good the district and so we don't end up with a Julie Hamos vs Elizabeth "Hamos" Coulson, he needs to hang it up.
Buh-Bye Cadigan

Your shortsightedness is disappointing. Which ever candidate wins the Democratic nomination will have the full force of the DSCC and the White House behind them. Obama is still incredibly popular in this state and will continue to be for a very long time. If Alexei or Cheryle needs him to win, then he will come and do events in the city and collar areas for them. I'm sure Kirk can fundraise when he's lacking a true opponent, but he is no match politically or financially for OFA, the DSCC and the power of this being the President's seat.
As for the 10th, I compare this election to the NL and AL in baseball. Although the NL has a playoff, its still clearly the weaker league then the AL (see recent All Star Game results if you don't believe me). The GOP in the 10th without Kirk is similar to the NL, there is no chance that Seals or Hamos loses this cycle. Wait for Kirk to re-run in 2012 after he loses next year...
Until Next Time,

Norm Coleman raised 27 million in minnesota. Mark will have the money to fight and the nrsc will be here, the nrcc is another matter and we are going to be massively massively underfunded for trying to keep this seat which is another reason cadigan needs to show better. CC you also forget that the only story next year will be blago and that will go a long way towards counteracting obama.
The cadigan-kirk pissing match is less concerning than a candidate who can't put down his walker brothers chocolate crepes to lace em up and put on his boxing gloves.
If Mark loses I doubt he'll be back. He'll have to run his ellen off for 2 years, then have to start all over building seniority in the house in the minority. Not sure if it's something he'll want to do at 53. At best it'll be 12 years before he gets to run a subcommittee and that will be only if a miracle happens and we get congress. This is it.

CC - I would not be so sure that Obama comes back in force to fundraise in Illinois, at least not directly for the likes of Alexi. As FOKLAES points out, next year will be the trial of the "Apprentice" (won't that be a hoot watching!) and by the time Hoffman is done bloodying Alexi in February, there's not going to be much there that Obama's going to want to be associated with.
Obama was plenty popular in Illinois and what did he do for Dan Seals, besides get accidently caught in one picture with Seals that Danno has used so many times it's frayed at the edges? Obama cut one measly radio piece for Seals so late in the game that it made no difference to Seals and more importantly, would made no difference to Obama in case Seals made yet another stupid gaff like gasoline-for-votes or Professorgate.
Obama will come nowhere near anyone who may sully his now-tattered brand - politically, it's all about what will help Obama, not the little folk.
Behind the scenes help is all that Alexi is going to be able to count on. No Grant Park Obama fundraiser for bankerboywonder, you can count on it.
- October 20, 2009 at 6:42 AM
By next year, Obama and his administration will not be posing a threat to Kirk - the only weapon Obama has left is ACORN and SEIU (just ask Ballerina Boy) and I think the majority of Illinoians would love the opportunity to vote against both the nut and the squirrel.
Only question is - are Republicans prepared to take on ACORN and SEIU (do they know how?)
- October 20, 2009 at 9:01 AM
Kirk needs Cadigan more in the western part of the district for the general election rather than the other way around.
Those people aren't letting that cap and trade vote go.
- October 20, 2009 at 10:03 AM
CC, you seem damn sure that Mr. Kirk will lose next year. You will be proven wrong again. No, Kirk lacks the force of those paragons of virtue: Axelrod and Emanuel. What Mark Kirk has is his integrity and the respect of people across the State who are now meeting him, hearing him, having a chance to see all that he's done with the 50 years he's been on this earth. There's no unions to get out and help dead folks vote. SEIU and Acorn will continue to show the ugly side of the worst kind of corruption that we've come to expect from them. Look what they did to help the guy in the White House. Mark Kirk will win next year because most people are sick and tired of the ugly side of what our State has shown to the nation. Mark Kirk is a quality guy with the kind of personal and professional ethics we will begin to demand of those who seek to represent us. You don't like Mark. That's your right. But CC, you are so wrong, so out of step with reality that I think you better try a new drink since the Kool Aid is tainted.
- October 20, 2009 at 10:13 AM
pup was different than alexi. Alexi is running for obama's seat. That's a huge deal. Pup was running for a seat that democrats hadn't won in 28 years.
The more I think about it, the more cadigan's fundraising is a major problem. this bs that he's only had 3 weeks of time to raise money is not true. Mark'sbeen out since july, and seeing as how mark had to outspend dan to slip by, I am less and less pleased with his figure and think it will be a major problem.
the nrcc isn't flush today the way it was 10 years ago whne the gopwas in power and this area was a lot more gop.
- October 20, 2009 at 10:19 AM
I still say money doesn't trump qualifications and likability in the 10th. Cadigan wins on both of those scores.
- October 20, 2009 at 10:47 AM
His qualifications were 20 years ago, he doesn't want to hit coulson and thus far he's brought a squirt gun to a political fight that will be fought with tanks and rocket proppelled grenades.
Hamos outraised him 20-1. Perhaps he has a plan to use pigeons to get his message out.
- October 20, 2009 at 10:56 AM
I think he plans on using Red Cross volunteers. Tee hee hee
- October 20, 2009 at 11:02 AM
He would have been able to raise more than a donation from his mother, and been able to actually run a campaign where he did something other than film shoddy cellphone camera endorsement videos with former state legislators.
- October 20, 2009 at 11:38 AM
Fundraising is an objective measure of likability, your subjective perception notwithstanding.

1. Do I even want to know what a 'tikkun-mouthy is?' Insert insult or age-old untoward comment here? I'm sure it is not a badge of honor or a polite comment.
I think its ironic that someone who says 'she's that dumb from watching her on tv' actually doesn't sound too comprehensive, deep, or well thought-out themselves.
I would tend to agree that Ms. Jackson is not a good candidate though I would hope to be a bit more well-spoken and holistic in my comments.
2. If glory days are here again for the GOP, this leads me to believe the country can expect another pre-emptive strike (why can't a Republican get the peace prize?), unnecessary tax cuts, and flip-flopping on climate issues, the stimulus (as done here and in Texas), and not standing in the way of helping Americans, and more doldrums from the current GOP 'leadership.' At least we can look forward to more sex scandals by people who used to sit in judgement of the rest of us!
I'll start practicing my frown for the 'happy days.'
- October 20, 2009 at 7:19 PM
No one's proud of Mark's flip flopping on cap n'trade, vote against the surge, support for hate crimes legislation, wasted energy on random refugees or lack of political will. If he had put the same energy into the tuesday group reigning in bush's spending and social conservatism bull shit this district would be more red, the party more balanced and his collegues named shays,johnson,leach,morella,simmons,kelly,bass,bradley,reynolds,davis,fitzpatrick and hart would still have jobs on Capitol Hill. Legislative spine seems to be lacking.
jackie robinson jackson or whatever name she has this week to pander for votes is a joke and it's frankly arrogant and offensive that the democrats have put up candidates like her, the ol'gizzard hamos, pup, cappo Alexi, and hoffman that are complete incompetents.
- October 20, 2009 at 7:33 PM
Foklaes, explain why you don't support Hate Crimes Legislation? Mark Kirk stands for the human rights our ancestors wanted for generations to come. What in the world is your beef with this? What don't you understand about human rights? I can't wait to read your explanation. Cap and Trade was clearly the will of many in the 10th District. NO, I don't share it, but I'm not in agreement with every vote, every position Mark has taken over the years. But my blood pressure just went off the charts when you talk about Hate Crimes. Explain it.
- October 20, 2009 at 9:13 PM
I don't buy the cap and trade b.s., Mark endorsed mccain in 08, bush in 04 (and raised 200k for him), bush in 00 primary and 00 general (remember bob jones and james byrd), none of those endorsements reflected the will of the district, he routinely voted for hastert for speaker which made tom delay majority leader-not the districts favorite kind of guy-and against nancy pelosi-more in line with a a district that voted 62-38 for dems in 08. Leaders have to have conviction, a set of principles and values they stick to, that's why we elect them. We elected Mark, not lee goodman.
As for Hate Crimes, one of the views of the GOP is that we don't do special interests, we do rule of law and independent small government. We have laws on the books to punish people already. Not every special interest has to get its way in d.c. Part of the problem the GOP has had in d.c. and both sides in springfield is the failure of leaders to say no to lobbyists and special interests. Someone has to standup and say enough. I have nothing against GLBT, but LBG is another matter.
I'm still waiting for dold to finish his cubscout meeting or cadigan to finish his love of pat collins to stand up for fiscal conservatism and rip coulson for her performance last night and in springfield on spending. Elk would have had her for dinner by now.
- October 20, 2009 at 9:40 PM
I'm not buying what you're selling on Hate Crimes. Have it your way, but I'm proud of Mark Kirk's personal integrity and his willingness to do the right thing. On Cap and Trade, you will never believe it so it's pointless to talk about it. The 10th leans Democrat these days, he had a real count of the calls, the emails, the personal snail mail appeals for that vote. As a Senator he would have received a far different response. Don't you think it's about time to move forward, stop talking about the damn thing and work toward getting Mark Kirk elected on 11/2/10. It's old news, it's ancient history. How about highlighting the things that have given him high praise from voters who've had the good sense to re-elect him in each cycle. Come on, Foklaes, move forward, get a more positive attitude so we can win. It takes all of us to get this done.
- October 20, 2009 at 10:08 PM
cap and trade is an issue as every vote mark takes for his 6 years in the senate is going to be framed either as a vote against the conservative base or a vote against obama, and I'd like to know who and what we are going to get. Believe me this is small fry compared to supreme court justices-he told illinois review he was on board with alito and roberts, what do you think he's going to say a year from now when polls show him slipping and he's hit with a clarence thomas or sotomayer question?
I'm voting for him proudly as I always have, but in case you didn't read the paper this morning, 19 percent of Americans call themselves republicans and only steve bartman and jack ryan have had a worse decade than moderate republicans. The way out of the wilderness is to test our leaders and search for the ones that have spine, vision and leadership (and might not work for the red cross) to carry us for the next generation. Obama had the guts to take a stand on Iraq in 2003 when folks in his party were going the other way, mccain took on the party's base on BICRA, mark needs to stand taller like we know he can.
- October 20, 2009 at 10:37 PM
The fundraising abilities of Obama should not be discounted. The New York Times reported that The One appeared in NYC this past weekend for a Democratic Fundraiser. Donations were for the maximum $30,400.00 and the event was extremely well attended by WALL STREET CORPORATES!
Man of the People! Man of the Little Guy! The Man who will Transform this Country and Give Everyone Hope! The Man of Change! The Community Organizer! Yeah, right! :-)
He left that stuff in the dust years ago. Like the Daley Machine in Chicago, he only pretends to be for the little guy!
We need to remember that this election cycle.
Obama will raise big money from the big money guys. The big money guys are backing the Democrats who are now doing their bidding. Those Wall Street Reforms? Still bogged down in committee by the Democrats!

Putting up certain candidates is 'arrogant?'
First, more candidates - in theory and in moderation - means better choices and more of them and is what OUR government is all about. There are other countries that have fewer candidates (and they include those that Reagan-Bush negotiated with) so maybe if one does not like the freedom of almost anyone (who can afford it that is - especially with the conservative court about to over-turn McCain Feingold), running for office, one can go to Iran or Nicauragua. (My comments are no more firm or severe than Mr. Foklaes and others.)
Hmm, Alan Keyes for Senate was not arrogant; it was an insult!
George Ryan for Governor? Why is he in prison now? Because of the crimes he committed as Secretary of State?! No one knew about them? Then how did the government build a case against him? Oops.
Sara Palin is one of the most in-your-face, unintelligent, and arrogant people I've seen in quite some time. What is best for you doesn't apply to her family. What she would view as immoral for most families is a 'blessing for her family?'
'One of the gospels of the GOP is that we don't do special interests.'
Lehman is no more but Goldman where Paulson came from has been saved via a 'socialist' bailout.
Most businesses that fail to meet their contractual obligations don't get further business. Haliburton on the other-hand is treated specially.
The Defense of marriage act was not necessarily an urgent priority for the majority of the populace and did not need to be decided when Congress had shorter work schedules under GOP leadership. Hence, yet another special interest served with pride.
Sometimes the hypocrisy, labeling, and lock-stepness of some on this blog would be funny if it didn't demonstrate a blindness to what has occurred and what is occurring.
Now, please tell me about how people of my ethnicity treat money (like your cohorts in S.C.), call me names, and tell me I don't have a right to speak.
I've come to expect it.

Crazy4golf, wtf are you rambling about? Don't pretend that for every Republican hypocrisy there isn't a Democrat hypocrisy. Parties are big unmanageable things-one can always find hypocrisy in them just about constantly. Hypocrisy doesn't distinguish the parties, sorry to burst your bubble. The difference between you and the people on this blog are that we believe in the goodness and responsibility of people, and you think that people must be forced by government to be good and responsible.

Fantastic news, Roll Call reports Tehran Julie Hamos and pup have staffed up. I'm exhausted so haven't had time to look to see what cretins they have brought up here. Pup's brought back Patrick Mogge, apparently getting his brains beaten in by Eric Elk twice wasn't enough. Tehran Julie seems to have stocked up on the machine staffers coulson didn't want or couldn't get. Perhaps they can swap stories on how to appropriately praise blago, tax hikes, their ACORN buddies and the unions.
Mogge is a running joke at DNC HQ for losing twice in Obama's state in the 2nd most liberal district in America held by a republican. The way choking in boston is called pulling a buckner, blowing a campaign is called a moggee. Interestingly enough no mention of the vaunted max temkin, perhaps he's a secret stealth weapon like dan's work history!
- October 22, 2009 at 12:17 AM
Quite frankly, I'm more concerned with Obama's ability to hand out money to special interests groups to retain this seat as opposed to him raising money. He may be popular amongst his left of left friends, but even they are feeling the financial pinch as a result of his reckless economic policies....
Beware of the ACORNS, YWCA's, SEIU's, NGO's and 501c3's set up for the purpose of being "Democratic campaign camps" at the cost of the American taxpayer....

Favored by God
"In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. And the virgin's name was Mary. And he came to her and said, 'Greetings, O favored one, the Lord is with you!' But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and tried to discern what sort of greeting this might be." Luke 1:26-29
It is funny how much we evangelicals struggle with Mary. I guess it is because we were brought up being taught that we didn't want to be "too Catholic" and perhaps saw her as the exclusive domain of Catholics. Yet, at the same time, we knew that since she was called by the angel "favored one" that we couldn't just ignore her.
I think that many of us still struggle to express appreciation for her. Most of the time, when I hear an evangelical giving Mary praise, it is almost always followed with a qualifier of some sort. You know what I mean, the "of course, I don't think calling her the queen of heaven is appropriate" or something like that. It is almost as if we become self-appointed guardians wanting to make sure she not think of herself more highly than she ought.
Yet that passage above always intrigues me. She has just been told she was favored by God and her reaction was to be troubled and confused. Me? Favored? It seems pretty clear that she had not until this point ever considered herself to be high in God's esteem. Her mind was spinning even before the angel had laid on her the reason for the visit.
Have you ever wondered just what it was that made Mary "favored?" Was she some sort of 1st century version of the perfect youth group teenager? Always sweet, always cheerful, always pure, always kind? Just what was it about her that made her so special? She clearly was mystified by that question. So why was she favored by God?
I think that most evangelicals would respond to that question by painting a picture of a contemporary purity culture teen; sweetly content to wait until marriage for sex, untroubled and untempted to be anything other than the ideal girl waiting patiently to be the ideal submissive wife. I don't doubt that, were we not so Mary-shy, a lot of youth group leaders would be drawing pictures of her as a model for how we too can be favored by God.
I keep thinking that the core of Mary's troubled response was her conviction that the angel probably had the wrong girl; that she had done nothing to make her favored by God and knew it well. She knew she didn't have the résumé to qualify for the title favored. But I think the answer to the question lies in her response. At the end of the story she says "let it be to me according to your word." Her answer was to simply trust God. Period.
We are always more comfortable with the idea of being worthy of God's favor though things we have done than the idea that He just gives His favor freely. But maybe God looked on her with favor because that is what God does. Mary's response tells us she grasped that His favor did not depend on her actions. He chose to favor her, an obscure Jewish teenager, in the same way He chose to favor a fisherman, a tax collector, a prostitute, and a smug Pharisee.
Mary accepted that she was favored by God simply because He said she was. The announcement of favor didn't trigger her denials, didn't trigger a smug assurance that she was worthy. It was a simple trust that she was what God said she was because He said so. May that be a model for us? May our worth be based not on legalistic rules, not on what culture or society says, not on any of the thousand voices that want to confuse us? Perhaps Mary's Christmas message to us is that the favor of God comes from His grace and not our worthiness.

Half Japanese, half New Zealander, de Clive-Lowe began piano lessons at age four. He went to secondary school with Zane Lowe, DJ Rob Salmon and producer Andy 'Submariner' Morton.
Mark de Clive-Lowe started out as a dedicated jazzer, playing in jazz combos round Auckland central jazz venues like Manifesto Bar and Cause Celebre, where he had a residency in 1996 working with The Enforcers, Nathan Haines' old band, after Haines left for the UK.
In 1996 and 1997 he released two solo albums of straight-up jazz on Tap Records, a label he owned with Auckland jazz buff Andrew Dubber, plus another album as member of the group Jazz In The Present Sense. De Clive-Lowe was also a session musician, and his keyboards can be found on the 1995 R&B hit Freedom from Mar-ve-elle, a song he co-wrote with producer Alan Jansson. However, although he listened to hip-hop and soul as a teen, de Clive-Lowe's first love was always jazz.
Six Degrees came out in 1999, and was picked up for worldwide release the following year by Universal Jazz, gathering superb reviews as it went.
Then he discovered the Akai MPC sampler and his style shifted to a more contemporary form, aimed squarely at the dancefloor. He recorded his third album with the support of Kingsland-based electronica collective Kog Transmissions. Six Degrees came out in 1999, and was picked up for worldwide release the following year by Universal Jazz, gathering superb reviews as it went.
Featuring guests including Manuel Bundy and King Kapisi, Six Degrees marked a step away from the more traditionalist jazz approach that de Clive-Lowe had previously been tagged with. The album was co-produced with Andy 'Submariner' Morton, Manuel Bundy (who was part of Mark's live band) and Joost Langeveld. That year Mark also contributed to the album by manufactured TV pop group TrueBliss.
Around this time de Clive-Lowe also recorded an album as Nuvonesia (an ensemble featuring himself, Manuel Bundy on turntables, and MC Imon Star on the mic), recorded live in a day-long session, and later released on Kog Transmissions in 2000.
He then relocated to London, linking up with expat Nathan Haines and UK producer Phil Asher. He firmly embedded himself in the West London music scene, helping evolve a style that was labelled 'broken beat', alongside the likes of 4Hero, IG Culture, Dego and Kaidi Tatham.
Mark de Clive-Lowe's live club sets draw on his jazz background, as he improvises beats on the MPC, then plays over them on keys, joined by guest vocalists and musicians. He's worked with a wealth of artists, such as Jody Watley, Nia Andrews, Sheila E, Lauryn Hill, Omar and Pino Palladino.
He released his fourth album Tide's Arising in 2005 on ABB Soul/Antipodean and Columbia in Japan. He started his own label, Antipodean Records, in the early 2000s, releasing a collection of remixes titled Melodius Beats Vol.1 in 2003.
After a decade in London, de Clive-Lowe shifted base to Los Angeles in 2009. His fifth solo album Renegades came out in 2011 thru UK label Tru Thoughts for whom he continues to record and release, with the albums Take The Space Train, a collaboration with The Rotterdam Jazz Orchestra, released in February 2013 and Church in 2014. 2013 also saw the One Take EP.
He has guested on numerous releases, and has also worked as a remixer, for the likes of Tama Waipara, Recloose, Chico Hamilton, Shirley Horn, Jody Watley, DJ Mitsu the beats, Incognito and more.

This is a family favourite and not just for bedtime.
I think most people know how this story goes, with it's flaps to lift to see what is hidden behind various objects such as Spot curled up asleep behind his book before going in the bath and hiding behind a towel (Boo) and going through the night time routine most children go through, saying goodnight to everything they come across such as Spot saying goodnight to his dad, saying goodnight to Ginger the cat (who turns out to be going up to bed with Spot), saying goodnight to the teddybear and Spot saying goodnight to his mum.
Monkey's faviourite part of the book is where Spot looks behind the cushion and finds Ginger the cat (this is likely because we have 2 cats of our own and one looks like the cat in the book. My favourite part is when Spot is looking behind his curtain at the moon.
Although I suppose it's a little young for Monkey he still enjoys having it read to him and he loves looking under the flaps even though he knows what's hidden behind each one. It's the kind of story that babies enjoy for the excitement and the surprise factor with the flaps but even children who are pre-school (just) still enjoy as they can read the story independently even when they can't read the words they understand the story and could be used as an easy first reader.
Monkey gives this story 7/10 and I also give this 7/10 (it's still not as good as Where's Spot – which was a childhood favourite of my own)!

Happy Wednesday, y'all!
Yesterday, before my last session with my trainer, I decided to start a food journal. Again. I'm not a fan of food journals, but I'm going to become a fan. Yes, I find it tedious. However, my body goes through things that I'm sure can be attributed to the food choices I make. Like bloating. I'm sure that is carb overload related. And it's a heavy, uncomfortable bloating. Additionally, my trainer said that I'm one of the best athletes he's trained and that my weight is ready to FALL OFF……if only I would eat better. So, yes, it's time for a food journal again. I will begin with yesterday.
So, back to the last session with my trainer. I'm kinda sad and maybe a tad anxious. BUT, I'm not as anxious as I thought I would be. G has taught me a lot about fitness and myself. He's tough, but encouraging. He's also very real, and that's a plus to me.
Back to food.
Although I am a multitasking fiend, it's very hard to do it when it comes to fitness and food. It took me a long time to finally make fitness a priority. I had to do that FIRST before I could make better food choices. I don't always eat horribly, and I FEEL the value of eating well. Now, it's time to make eating well a priority. A habit. An automatic thing. NO, I'm not going to give up my favorite foods. I don't believe in deprivation.
I'm looking forward to an evening of resting my body. Even though I feel like I didn't work out enough over the last week, I know I put my body through some stuff. Allow me to share!
Tuesday, April 30 – work out with trainer and tap class
Friday, May 3 – work out with trainer and work concessions from 6-9 PM
Saturday, May 4 – work concessions from 3-8 PM
Sunday, May 5 – work concessions from 7-12 AM
Tuesday, May 7 – work out with trainer and tap class
Now, being on my feet all week has not be nice on my feet and ankles. Let me find out I still have some swelling just from that. Kinda sucks.
For the remainder of the week, I know that I will get a run in and some zumba. I hope to get more than one run in though. Hell, more than one zumba class should be on my schedule!
Anyway, I've just fallen into ramble mode, so it's time for me to end this post!
Have a great day!

The 100-year-old rocking chair inside the Foerch house in Homewood never had a chance against a young Doug Foerch more than four decades ago.
The son of Dick and Barbara Foerch figured the piece of furniture would serve quite nicely as an apparatus to execute a gymnastics strength move.
"Broke the chair," a smiling Doug Foerch — now 55, a Deerfield resident and in his 33rd year in coaching and in his 35th year as a gymnastics judge — recalls after ordering a glass of water and pumpkin pancakes (with walnuts in the batter) at Rhapsody Café in Deerfield.
"Dad," he adds with a chuckle, "was kind of mad."
Doug Foerch, therefore, is kind of a successful coach. The Homewood-Flossmoor High School graduate and former top-notch gymnast at Northern Illinois University coached Mundelein High School boys gymnastics teams to six state championships between 1988 and 2001; helped Deerfield High School graduate Christina Loukas — a two-time USA Olympian — capture three state diving championships (2001-03); and guided Deerfield High School's boys gymnastics team to a program-best third-place showing at the state meet last spring.
"My coaching style is a combination of the one my father [who died at the age of 90, in 2015] had and the one my coach at NIU [Chuck Ehrlich] preferred," says the 5-foot-8, 160-pound Foerch, who's as fit as most elite triathletes are, thanks to a workout regimen of two hours per day. "My dad was soft-spoken, a gymnastics coach who'd put an arm around an athlete and say, 'Let me show you the right way to do a routine.' Coach Ehrlich was loud, much louder than my father and as knowledgeable as my father. But you wanted him to be loud, you wanted him to yell at times, because that meant he cared about you, saw something in you."
Foerch, a PE/health teacher and a gymnastics/diving coach at District 113 high schools (Deerfield and Highland Park) since 2002, has been sporting a flat-top 'do for just about forever. It's his way of paying tribute to his father, who fought in World War II and coached boys gymnastics teams at Thornton, Reavis and Thornwood high schools. Countless gymnasts under Doug Foerch's direction have competed at big meets with a similar cut.
The look is tight and clean and a not-so-subtle reminder of the discipline he expects — make that, demands — from his athletes.
"In the middle of one of my practices, a gymnast left the floor and started to head toward his gym bag," Foerch recalls. "I asked him, 'Where are you going?' He said, 'To check my phone.' "
Foerch's reply, a nanosecond later: "No you're not; get back here."
Foerch has never owned a cell phone.
Has never … texted a message.
"I don't need all of the distractions that come with owning a cell phone," says Foerch, who rode his bike to meet me at the restaurant on a Saturday morning, a couple of hours before the start of Deerfield High's girls diving practice. "You know what? I still know how to use a landline."
Foerch grins and then inhales another bite of a pumpkin pancake. He's old-school; I'm old-school. I am tempted to clink water glasses with him.
I think of a wedding. I then ask him how he met his wife, Jeanie.
Foerch's eyes begin to dance.
"She was a business teacher at Mundelein [High School] when I started teaching and coaching there," Foerch says. "We went to the school's homecoming together. I guess you could stay that was our first date. We danced together, for only one dance, because we saw kids near the dance floor and noticed they were talking about us. I said to Jeanie, 'Let's get out of here.' "
They got married in 1989.
They have four children: Brock, 26; Cody, 24; Colt, 21; and Lexis, 19. Each adores math. Brock and Cody teach the subject at North Chicago High School and Zion-Benton High School, respectively. Colt and Lexis major in math at Trinity International University in Deerfield.
Doug Foerch grew up in a household with five siblings — the late Jeff; Brad, 58; Steve, 57; Laura, 53; and Shelley, 52. Their 88-year-old mother lives in Hazel Crest.
Doug, Brad and Steve competed at the same state gymnastics meet when Doug was a freshman at Homewood-Flossmoor HS and that antique rocking chair was resting in pieces. Brad and Steve also became accomplished gymnastics coaches at Illinois high schools.
"My father, my brothers … all were major influences when I was a kid," says Doug Foerch, a member at Christ Church in Lake Forest since the early 2000s. "Gymnastics clubs did not exist back then. But we did gymnastics all year. It helped, with my dad letting us work out in the gym at Thornwood High School. During gymnastics seasons, I'd work out at 6 a.m., go to school, attend gymnastics practice after school and then work out some more at Thornwood after dinner. Going at it for seven hours a day wasn't unusual."
Foerch began his career as a gymnastics judge in his junior year at NIU, making $25 each time he judged a meet. He and other Huskies gymnasts traveled all over Illinois to earn the money.
"We probably spent that much money on gas on those weekends," Foerch, chuckling again, says. "You know what? That was a big deal, because it was a job, and we got to work with knowledgeable gymnastics people at a young age."
Decades later, Foerch hasn't lost an ounce of passion for the sport, for coaching, for teaching.
Deerfield HS graduate Heath Ogawa — now an All-American men's diver at Lake Forest College — won a state gymnastics title on vault with a 9.5 in 2015, his senior season. He hadn't executed a routine until Foerch introduced him to gymnastics in his freshman year.
"That was a great moment, seeing Heath up there on a podium and smiling at the state meet," Foerch says. "But sometimes the biggest reward of coaching comes during the regular season, when a kid either achieves a personal-best score or sticks a routine for the first time at a meet. I love those moments. I love it when a gymnast realizes all that hard work was worth it.
"The look I enjoy noticing, more than any other, from a gymnast's face … it's the one that says, 'Yes, finally!' "

Interview: Adrian Belew on New Processor Project FLUX:FX, Nine Inch Nails & A Secret New Project
It's a tall order to excite a music icon, but legendary King Crimson guitarist and sound wizard Adrian Belew is wildly enthusiastic about his professional audio multi-effects app FLUX:FX, a multi-effect audio processor app for the iPad that lets you 'play' your effects and manipulate any audio signal into something entirely new. Clearing a new slate in the possibilities of audio design and live performance, FLUX:FX is an innovative and, intuitive tool for the future of music, coming from the man who has influenced the music scene for the last 50 years alongside Zappa, David Bowie, Nine Inch Nails and King Crimson.
We were blessed to get an interview at NAMM with Adrian, the man Trent Reznor called "the most awesome musician in the world," as well as a live demo of FLUX:FX as he excitedly explains the randomization software, and how users can create a world of sound unavailable in other mediums.
Throwback: Johnny Cash Impersonates Elvis, Hilariously
He also discusses an ambitious top-secret new project, something he's quite clearly enormously excited about: "The thing that I'm working on for the next few months apart from continuing both Flux things is something I can't even believe I'm doing," he explained. "It's something I've really wanted to do forever and ever, and I never thought I'd get a chance to do it with the people I'm doing it with. I'm starting at the top of the field I'm going to be working in." Two things are certain: it isn't a live-performance piece, and Trent Reznor is not involved.
Speaking of Reznor, Adrian also gave some promising updates regarding the material he recorded with Nine Inch Nails in their ultimately-scrapped collaborative project for NIN's latest album Hesitation Marks. Check it out in our in-depth interview below:
On the scrapped Nine Inch Nails sessions and the possibility of the material being released:
"We recorded a lot of stuff that didn't ever make it on any of those records," Adrian explained, with a hopeful eye on the future. "They could surface on other tracks or other songs, I wouldn't object to that in any way!"
As for the idea of future collaboration with Reznor, Belew had a bright outlook: "It didn't work out for us to do a live tour together for a number of reasons… but I'm still good with Trent, I hope he's still good with me, I like working with him," he said. "It's an open door. I don't like to shut doors. I love what he does and I'm very impressed with the sounds he makes and the way he produces things… There probably will be another time for us to do something, but as you can tell I'm deeply busy (laughs)…"
Keep up with Adrian at his official site, and learn more at the official FLUX:FX site.

I swear, when I woke up this morning I thought that I had so much more time than I actually did. I swear, time is seeping out through a hole in the galaxy or something, either that or someone is stealing it, because I remember there being a lot more of it last year than there is now.
But, regardless of time I have made sure to write. I may not have reached my goal for today, but I did get some nice bits in which I am quite proud of (if I do say so myself). I am so close to 60,000 I can almost taste it, but alas I didn't have it in me tonight.
But, I will be home much earlier tomorrow and will be in the mood for writing by then because I'll have been doing essays and readings all day, so having a bit of fun with the language will be waaaay overdue.
Anyway, I planned for this to be a short post so that I could head straight to bed after writing it, so goodnight everyone!

Blending with a loaded brush
I add more colours in the gradient and repeat. If a section of gradient is being encroached by another, I add more paint to help it push back and be more visible. I make sure my brush is loaded with paint when blending or it'll soak up pigment already there, causing uneven coverage.

Blogging (or I should say, my blog) is pretty useless for getting people to go to things. I understand that. However. two of my very dear friends are having an art opening tomorrow in Brooklyn, and I think you should go.
July 26 - 31
Opening Reception July 26, 6-9pm
Brooklyn Artists Gym
168 7th Street, 3rd Floor, Brooklyn, NY 11215
It features new work by dear friends Isabelle Rancier, Julia Norton, and Sam McKinnis.
Link to the event: http://www.brooklynartistsgym.com/events.html
In other news, this is how I feel today. Awkward, but trying to express a pretty basic feeling. Failing at feelings, sort of. Or, not finding the right way to express a thing. I feel like: I want to set clearer boundaries, and say exactly when things bug me. But I feel reticent doing that, so I guess I get all passive aggressive and awkward. Kind of like Trent Reznor (my love) rapping. I was up above it. Now I'm down in it.
Also I feel like this because my eyesight is going, I really did see a tiny little dot and I watched it for too long. My room mate makes me think that my retina is detaching. Scary.

A short while ago I wrote an article about Google's perverse responses to my search questions. Specifically it appeared not just to ignore the prepositions in my question, but consistently give opposite replies. In order to get round Google's obtuseness I migrated to other search engines. However the problem has followed me there. The following is a photo of the replies to my enquiry about "battered wives" the tricks their husbands employ against them. The Search engine is Webcrawler.
You can also note that amidst the bulk of replies giving the specific opposite to my question, when the answers refer to wives they talk about wives getting back at their husbands using witchcraft, why women cheat on their husbands, the right of men to physically punish their wives, women who kill their battering husband and "What does the Bible say about abused wives".
The answers to my enquiry…
