Influenza Season Starts Early in Montana
Montana's Department of Public Health and Human Services has officially confirmed the state's first cases of seasonal influenza in 2012.
So far, the four confirmed cases are relegated to Park and Yellowstone counties.
It appears that influenza season is off to a quicker start than normal. In both 2010 and 2011 influenza cases were not confirmed until late November.
In response, DPHHS is advising the public to get an influenza vaccination. This years vaccine has been updated with three of the ever-changing virus' most current strains.
"People who received influenza vaccine last year should get vaccinated again this year, particularly as the circulating viruses have changed," said DPHHS Director Anna Whiting Sorrell. "And we urge you to get immunized now. With the options available, getting vaccinated is easier than ever. We'd like to make sure everyone can stay healthy this winter."
The vaccine is recommended for everyone over six months of age and can be delivered through a high dose shot, a "short needle" shot or through a nasal spray.
"We have particular concern for people with chronic medical conditions and children and urge them to get vaccinated now," said Lisa Underwood, DPHHS Immunization Program manager. "Those with health issues, young children and senior citizens, are the most at risk for complications, or even death, from the flu. Even with last year's mild season, we had many people hospitalized and three deaths directly attributable to the flu."
People wanting to get immunized, or have their children vaccinated, should consult their health care provider. Vaccinations are available at doctor offices, county or tribal health departments, and many pharmacies.
According to DPHHS the vaccine is widely distributed and more information on the vaccine can be found on the Montana DPHHS web site.

A post by Pandagator introduced me to a nice new tool for saving streaming video media. I have experimented with a number of ways to record Chinese TV, and have a number of streams to watch. This one however has the benefit of being both free and not too technical.
There are a number of places where you can obtain streaming Chinese TV. My best sources came from this page of links. Note that most Chinese sites seem to prefer Windows technology so the media is targeted for Windows media player. Also the connection is not always reliable. Sometimes you can get a good connection, sometimes the server at the other vanishes from sight for a while or returns a busy signal. Your quality of connection may depend on the time of day or on your geographical location. On a good day however you can watch Chinese TV programs and listen to real Chinese (well real TV Chinese anyway).
The bad news is that non-windows users have a technical headache to get the TV ( problem I still haven't solved, but I mostly use Windows now), the connection is usually unrealiable, and you can only watch what is being streamed to you, so if you see something good it is a one shot only, you cannot replay.
I have managed in the past to record using methods that are either technically awkward or errr... distinctly dodgy. Sometimes I have recorded 7 hours or so and then picked through it for goodies afterwards. It is a great way to listen to Chinese. Another huge advantage of recording is that you can often record streams when the connection is too poor to watch in realtime (the player just keeps trying to buffer).
The opensource program (SDP) detailed by Pandagator really works though, it is a bit rough around the edges but well worth learning how to use.
You will need some media urls to use with the application. You can start with the one Pandagator detailed NTDTV although bear in mind that this one is funded from outside China and may have a political agenda, it does usually have a strong connection though. Some sources will play in media plugins on the webpage but you can usually find the urls you need by viewing the text source of the page. You can also track down urls from this excellent page. These are not realtime streams but saved CCTV programs designed to be played via a stream. CCTV also provide pages with text for the dialogues :):).
A nice multi-platform media player you can play your recordings on is VLC. VLC is well worth having anyway especially for those moments when you download some interesting media file from somewhere and media player coughs up a codec not recognised error.

Catnip is a perennial herb, Nepeta cateria, a member of the mint family. It is not addictive, and is completely safe for cats. Your cat will probably love an occasional catnip treat.
The catnip reaction
The catnip response affects all of the cat's senses - touch, smell, sight, sound, and taste. Usually powerful, the intensity varies widely among cats. Responses may include initial investigation, oral contact, grasping and kicking, and abandonment, and a number of other behaviors, including…
The chemistry of catnip
Although no one knows exactly what happens in the cat's brain, it is known that the chemical nepetalactone in catnip triggers the response, kicking off a stereotypical pattern in cats that are sensitive to the chemical. The catnip reaction is inherited in an autosomal dominant gene. Up to a third of adult cats, in which the gene is not present, are totally unaffected by catnip. Kittens under 3 months of age do not usually react to catnip, either.
Types of catnip
Catnip can be found in the wild, grown in herb gardens, or purchased in many dried forms. Most cat owners find using dried catnip in its many configurations to be the most convenient.
Fresh - During summer months catnip is fairly easy to grow. You can allow your cat access to the garden, or harvest leaves and bring them into the house. Catnip may also be grown in indoor gardens, providing a fresh supply of leaves, and possibly distracting cats from chewing ornamental houseplants.
When your cat brushes against or paws fresh catnip leaves it releases their powerful oils and irresistible scent. Should your cat eat fresh or processed catnip it is not a problem. Your cat is just satisfying her taste for
greens. Keep in mind that your cat's reaction to the catnip is due to scent, not ingestion.
Dried - Catnip plants exist in a number of varieties and have a tremendous variance in the pungency of their scent. When harvesting, drying and processing catnip, it is important that the manufacturer take every step possible to retain its scent and essential oils. To be effective, catnip needs to be fresh. To retain its potency, it needs to be stored in a place where it will not be overly dried.
Best ways to provide catnip
We located and tested many types of catnip in order to provide cat owners the most potent, consistent, and highest quality products possible. Each of the following will maximize the fun for your cat.
Catnip is by no means necessary for the well-being of any cat, but it is pleasant, safe, and fun. We recommend that you give catnip about once a week to ensure that the effects do not diminish.

"Asus has a trio of Windows 8 tablets on deck for the holidays, but the pricing is so high - $599 to $1299 for a hybrid - that it's going to be nearly impossible to compete in the marketplace. We were leaked Asus' holiday roadmap and the slide below tells the tale." If this is for real, Windows 8 is screwed in the tablet space. Nobody is going to buy a Windows tablet at prices higher than the iPad.

BIG GAMES, BIG DREAMS………the stretch run and more.
Gentle Musings from TD…..
- There is just something about this game on Sunday……I am very excited and intrigued to see how the Boys' handle this true test. I believe this could be a major defining moment, a win in the cold, hostile confines of Heinz Field (who names their stadium after a ketchup BTW?) and we could gain the final dose of confidence to push us back to where we all anticipated we would be before the season started.
- Am I the only one really missing Felix?? Man….I was and am very dissapointed that his promising rookie season ended so quickly! Felix! We barely got to know you……
- PAC MAN. All I have to say about this character is……RUN STRAIGHT AHEAD! Going to go out on a limb here and predict a punt return for a touchdown this weekend for ADAM. I will go with 65 yards, 3rd Quarter. You heard it here first.
- Romo for MVP! Hey, why not? The last time I checked that meant most VALUABLE. Is there any DOUBT how VALUABLE he is to this team?? There certainly cannot be at this point. He has infused life into this team and brought back the swagger. That being said, I expect a slug fest this weekend in 'burgh the 'and I decided to go with Kurt Warner over Romo this weekend in my fantasy football division title game.
- Plaxico Burress…..LMAO!! I probably dislike this jerk more than any other NFL'er except for maybe his dumbface QB….and that was before this season. I threw away my Christmas list when I heard that he was suspended for the rest of the regular season and ineligible to return for the playoffs. That is the best gift I could have recieved! He is no Cowboys killer, but still a tough matchup for any corner. Can't stand him……..
- Well….here we go, the stretch run…..the pundits are calling for at least a split of these last 4 games to make it to the tournament. I am beginning to think it could take more. Time for the Boys' to keep it going and go out balling. Who would have thought before the season that we would be fighting for the wild card…..against the FALCONS!?!? Wow….guess, that's why they play the games and that's what makes being a fan so fun…and stressful!
Enjoy the Journey…….
Cowboys Fan For LIFE! – TD

Personal History Through Blog Books, Scrapbook Later
|Family Scrapbook featuring trip to Texas!
Many times, overwhelmed mommas are inspired to ask me about scrapbooking their children's lives but they don't have the supplies, knowledge, or time to get started. I see the distraught faces and want to give them a HUGE hug for the desire to preserve their children's memories (and their own). Some are crafty. Some, not so much. But everyone who has asked me, wants to create a memory book for their family.
To those sweet women (and men), I say this... start small. What's more important, that you record your memory or that you make a crafty project about a memory? It's recording the memory in words and pictures where possible.
|Cover for my annual blog book
I offer this tip. Make a blog book. A blog book is simply this... blog like entries recorded on your computer that is printed at the end of the year. Here are the steps to making a blog book, then I'll share why I do it this way.
- Use a text program such as MS Word Mac Text Edit, or OO Writer.
- Create one document per month and save the file with the month and year (01 Jan 2014, 02 Feb 2014, etc) in the file name.
- Format your page to have at least a 1 inch margin on all sides.
- On the first page, type the month and year again (this will be the title for each month's chapter).
- Create a blog like entry. Give your entry a date, a title if you like, insert a photo (or two) and then write about the memory. You can capture memories without photos as well. Just be sure to date your entries.
- When the year is complete, export your documents to individual PDF files. Then use a PDF editor to merge the PDF files into one text document.
- Upload to your content file to a Print-on-Demand company such as Lulu.com.
- Follow the websites book compilation instructions and then order your book.
|Text Document for Blog Book
NOW THE WHYs
Why do I do this method?
- I use my blog book to capture my memories until I have time to make a scrapbook page.
- By using photos for my entries, I can write a month (or sometimes three) later rather than daily.
- I don't want to share all of our family details with the world, this 'blog' is entirely off line.
- I don't journal.
- I don't have to scrapbook every memory.
Here's another great secret. Have your spouse and kids help you with your blogging (or whoever makes up your family). I'll take photos of my kid's events and then have them tell me their memories of it. I'll say, "Uno says...." to help the reader of this blog book know that these are Uno's words and not mine. Takes a HUGE load off my shoulders. The rest of the book is written from my voice. I say, "I", "me", "my", etc. Don't try to write as a narrator. Write as yourself and your other family members to help add their voice to your family project.
|Scrapbooking can happen later. But if I don't have the
memories recorded, I won't have anything to write.
Some day I might not want to scrapbook. Maybe my kids will do all of their own scrapbooking. I know the memories are recorded and waiting to be put in another format. Isn't that comforting?
Most importantly, I won't have to put every photo in a scrapbook. What a relief! Some photos are only triggers to remember something funny, interesting, or even sad in our lives. I can write about the memory in my blog book and I am free from having to put it into a scrapbook. I only scrapbook memories and events that a) have a lot of photos and b) are worth scrapbooking.
I'm sure there is much more that I could share in this How To Record Your Personal History post. However, I'll leave the comment section for additional discussion on anything I've neglected to cover.
My greatest desire for anyone who wants to capture the memories that are happening daily is this: RECORD SOMETHING.
Find a way that works for you. But don't forget to take photos, label them, and write down the memory that goes with them. Some day, either you or someone else can convert those memories into a presentation. But without the memories recorded... no one can't do it.
Breathe easy. You can do it.

Vice presidential debate takes center stage with ringside feel
WASHINGTON — Historically, "vice presidential debates have not mattered," said Emory University debate coach Bill Newnam.
But all that changed in the aftermath of President Barack Obama's lackluster performance in the first presidential debate last week, helping Republican Mitt Romney erase the Democratic incumbent's yearlong lead in the polls.
Here's what Vice President Joe Biden and Republican vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan need to do Thursday night during their encounter at Centre College in Danville, Ky.:
1. Stop the bleeding.
Before the first debate, the Obama-Biden ticket was leading in the RealClearPolitics poll index by an average of 4 percentage points. Tuesday, for the first time in 2012, Romney and Ryan took the lead. "Obama didn't just hurt himself, he hurt the brand," said independent pollster John Zogby. "There's a lot of pressure on Biden. He has to get them back on track because they're bleeding now."
2 Attack, attack, attack! (But in a systematic way.)
Obama found himself on the defensive from the first moments of the first debate. His running mate must seize the offensive and relentlessly critique Ryan's record as chairman of the House Budget Committee, as well as Team Romney's economic and foreign policy proposals. "It's the vice presidential candidate's role to go out and attack the other side," said Sherri Greenberg, director of the Center for Politics and Governance at the University of Texas' Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs. One cautionary note: It's possible to be too aggressive. (Examples: Al Gore invading George W. Bush's space at their first debate in 2000. Or Jimmy Carter's serial attacks on Ronald Reagan in 1980, ending with Reagan's retort "There you go again.")
3 Win the budget/tax battle.
Biden needs to convince average Americans that Ryan's past support for cuts in middle-class entitlements such as college financial aid and Medicare could hurt them personally. "Biden wants to remind people of the Ryan budget and the impact on their lives," said American University political communication professor Dotty Lynch, "especially if Medicare is changed and government programs like Medicaid and student loans are cut."
4 Look like the only grown-up on the stage on international issues.
Joe Biden has been a player on foreign policy issues since Paul Ryan was, well, 3 years old. The vice president needs to use his knowledge and record, as senator and vice president, to his advantage. "He will challenge Ryan on his lack of experience and also criticize Romney," said Jim Granato, director of the Hobby Center for Public Affairs at the University of Houston.
5. Don't be a bully.
It's fine to be Fightin' Joe, champion of the middle class. It's not OK to be Mr. McNasty or Mr. McDirty. Americans don't mind some tough, substantive exchanges. But personal attacks or relentless negativism could backfire and make Ryan a more sympathetic figure.
6. Don't commit a major gaffe that will dominate the headlines whatever else happens in the debate.
Republicans are quick to note that Joe Biden is a human gaffe machine. He can terrify his handlers by saying the wrong thing at the wrong time. A whopper during Thursday's big showdown would definitely be the wrong time. "Joe Biden must be 'gaffe-free' and aggressive," said Steven E. Schier, a political science professor at Carleton College. "His job is to reveal the shortcomings of the Romney-Ryan approach far more clearly than the president did in his first debate."
1. Keep the momentum going.
A win or a tie is fine for the Wisconsin lawmaker. He just wants to make sure that he doesn't do anything that reverses the gains created by Romney's aggressive, self-assured performance in the first debate. "The task for the Romney campaign is to maintain the momentum generated by the first presidential debate," said Steven Schier of Carleton College. "That means Paul Ryan cannot afford to lose the debate."
2. Avoid wonkishness.
Like Obama, Ryan can be professorial and wonkish. He needs to ditch the green eyeshades and talk about budget and tax choices in a way that resonate with average Americans. "Congressman Ryan's specialty is giving power-point presentations that involve a lot of data and visual aids," Kall said. "He will be without those aids during the debate and must find a way to verbally integrate this information."
3. Pay attention to details.
Ryan tripped up recently when Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace tried to pin him down on details of the Romney-Ryan tax cut plan. He has said, in various venues, that the issue is too complicated to discuss on radio or television. That excuse won't fly during a 90-minute vice presidential debate.
"Ryan is going to be on the defensive," Newnam said. "He's going to try to explain how things add up." How can you cut everybody's tax rates by 20 percent, cut business taxes and end up with a revenue-neutral tax plan? Ryan needs a concise, Romney-like answer to the all-but-certain question.
4. Fight to a draw (or win) on Medicare and Social Security.
Biden is sure to attack Ryan for proposing to replace Medicare with a voucher program for Americans born after 1957. And for supporting former President George W. Bush's plan to partially privatize Social Security. Over-65 voters could well decide the results in Florida, Ohio and Iowa. And baby boomers are anxious about any possible changes in their government retirement plans. Ryan doesn't have to win the argument with Biden. But he has to avoid a clear defeat.
5. Sound competent on foreign policy
Ryan is an undisputed expert on budget matters, but he has not been a major player on international issues. He needs to show a nuanced understanding of geopolitical matters.
And he must avoid any misstatements on foreign policy. "Ryan will have to demonstrate he can articulate — and is informed on — foreign policy, given Biden's large advantage in foreign policy experience," said Granato.
6. Look like he could be a president.
The gravitas thing. Dan Quayle flunked this test against Lloyd Bentsen in 1988 ("you're no Jack Kennedy") and then against Al Gore in 1992. (Of course, Quayle and George Bush were elected in '88 anyway.) Ryan is no Dan Quayle, but he does have questions to answer. "He's only 42," said independent pollster John Zogby. "He's got to show that he belongs there."

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — Two turns off the alley and I was hopelessly lost.
In less than five minutes, I couldn't see the guest house where I had been staying for a week, even though it was one of the taller buildings in Haiti. With a few quick turns, my guide led me and a friend into a world we couldn't possibly imagine, much less navigate.
For four hours, we traversed Petionville, one of the towns that makes up the sprawling metropolis of Port-au-Prince. It was all narrow passages and stairs between concrete buildings that cascade off one another, spilling down the ubiquitous hills of Haiti before hitting bottom and starting the climb back up.
We would be so deep in the maze we could barely see sunlight, then we would duck through a passage and find ourselves on a spit of openness with 6-foot cornstalks sprouting through the garbage-strewn ground.
When we ran out of sidewalk, we hopped in a tap-tap, the colorful, crowded taxis that are the backbone of the country's public transportation system, and we headed deeper into the city. Then the route ended and we were dropped at the edge of a blocks-long open-air market, where vendors were selling wares as diverse as eggplants, brooms and individual doses of medicine of uncertain type and vintage.
We made it back to the guest house on foot, passing a vigorously physical soccer match played on a concrete pad, street-side mattress dealers, hawkers with their wheelbarrows full of raw, red sugar cane and a beautiful image of the Virgin Mary painted on the wall outside an auto parts shop.
The trip had been punctuated by dust, smog and smoldering something — always, in Haiti, something is smoldering — and a soundtrack of endless horns, voices and hip-hop.
For $25 and half a day, I had seen a Haiti most people miss.
Indeed, many people miss Haiti altogether — on purpose. It isn't a great tourist draw. But it has unbelievable beauty and a deep, rich culture worth the effort it takes to find it.
The world that turned other Caribbean islands into all-inclusive themed resorts never took hold in Haiti. If you like your traveling planned and predictable, your food familiar and your sheets changed every day, Haiti is not your place. The locals live on "Haitian time," a concept in patience foreign to most of us.
Some visitors just show up and wing it, but they're rare. I met two backpackers on my trip in November, but they were the first I had seen in four visits.
Many people show up with mission groups or nonprofit organizations and head from the airport to wherever they're going with barely a stop in between.
The tourist infrastructure shows that indifference to life off the planned path. Accommodations are substandard. Hot water is a luxury in most places, transportation is a nightmare and eating can be an adventure. Outside Port-au-Prince, finding a room is a challenge.
But if you do a little homework, check your expectations at the immigration counter and hire some help, you can find an amazing country.
"Haiti has so much to offer the visitor," said Jacqui Lebrom, a British expat who has run a tourism business in Port-au-Prince since the 1990s. "Yes, we have wonderful beaches, but we also have beautiful mountains for hiking, sea activities such as diving and interesting cities."
The big draw is Port-au-Prince because it's home to a quarter of the country's population and many of its most notable sites. The Presidential Palace, the Catholic and Episcopal cathedrals, and a small but important collection of colonial-era gingerbread houses are in varying stages of disrepair since the January 2010 earthquake, but other nearby attractions are going strong.
The village of Croix-des-Bouquets, where much of the country's decorative metalwork is made, draws a steady crowd and offers an unexpected sight: a lone rail from a long-abandoned railway that once connected the village to ports.
In the hills above the city, Ft. Jacques offers a stunning, if surprisingly distant, view of the harbor it was built to protect. And the famed Baptist Haiti Mission spreads across a hillside, its doors — and kitchen —open to all who come through.
Outside Port-au-Prince, the big draws include Jacmel, on the southern coast, and Cap-Haïtien, on the north. The former features stunning beaches and scenery that remind you that you're in the Caribbean. The latter is home to the Citadel, a 200-year-old fortress built by former slaves to help them fend off their French masters.
In November, construction was well under way on a couple of new luxury hotels in Port-au-Prince, but don't count on much comfort if you're heading there soon. Haiti's not a place to relax; there's too much to see to really clear your mind for long. But you'll come home with memories of a place you might not have expected.

Favourite Modest Mouse song.
Mine = Bankrupt on Selling
Difficult choice
but I'm gonna go for Teeth Like God's ShoeshineJaguarPirate, styrofoamboots, spaffy, and shinymcshine this'd this
- JaguarPirate and Icarus-Smicarus this'd this
Never Ending Math Equation just wins it for me
though Dramamine is easily as goodSevered799 and ryanwilson this'd this
pretty much impossible to pick
but for now i'll say Other People's Lives
Good point
love the outro, think it is my favourite
it's not really their best song but it's got this vibe of desperation that's a bit special
been listening to it a lot latelyYesiamaduck and JaguarPirate this'd this
it's weird how songs that you know clearly aren't their best (or even your favourites)
can still sometimes catch your attention more. Often happens with Edit The Sad Parts for me
It changes everyday
But at the moment the BBC 1 Radio version of Perfect Disguise
- Lambchops, Yesiamaduck, and Icarus-Smicarus this'd this
Doin' the Cockroach
with Bankrupt on Selling a close second
That is such a hard fucking question. I can barely decide which my favorite ALBUM is, let alone my favorite SONG.
On most days, it's Bankrupt on Selling, because that song is the most heartwrenching song in their catalog. On the other, Edit The Sad Parts has one of my favorite Modest Mouse lines: "Sometimes all I really wanna feel is loved / sometimes I'm angry that I'm so damn angry."
But then there are all the beautiful or fun little ones, like Birds vs. Worms, and Baby Blue Sedan, and Trailer Trash. But then there's the ones like Custom Concern, which means a lot to me (when I was younger, I wanted to be a filmmaker, and I decided that the very first song in my very first film was going to be Custom Concern. It's actually my YouTube screen name, even), or Life Like Weeds, or The Cold Part, or...
I hate to bring them up when they aren't relevant, but to be honest, I have a much easier time telling you my favorites amid Radiohead's catalog, more than I can tell you about my Modest Mouse favorites.
Unfuckwithable band, unfuckwithable brand. They truly do not get the sweeping respect that they deserve.
Sorry for the rant.Yesiamaduck, mute-branches, and JaguarPirate this'd this
Probably.johneggfish this'd this
lyrically, it's a highlight
and that's saying something
Float On
Fuck you all.ThisTemporaryLife, Acquiescence, Antpocalypsenow, seanneale, Severed799, JaguarPirate, spiritofjazz, ryanwilson, twentynine, automatik, colinzealuk, JustJay, and pudding4 this'd this
- Severed799 and JaguarPirate this'd this
hard. too hard
but off the top of my head, talking shit about a pretty sunset
Whenever You Breathe Out, I Breathe In
I'm one of those prefer-their-earlier-work sorts. However, really like Guilty Cocker Spaniels.
It's Float On.
Anyone that says otherwise is a try-hard indie bellend.
File next to "The Rat is the Walkmen's best track".wrightylew, Antpocalypsenow, hanshotfirst, deep-blue, spiritofjazz, and styrofoamboots this'd this
rubbish comparisonCrispinAlexander, furio, and JaguarPirate this'd this
don't get me wrong, I loved Float On and still really enjoy it (esp when drunk, memories!) but it's not their best song... it may have one of their best riffs but song? NAWWW
It's favourite song, not best
So opinions always differ. Otherwise talking about music would be dull (i usually is when you get involved).
It's great but
even of the 'hit singles' Dashboard is better. <3 Dashboard
anything they did pre-marr
That put me off em big timespaffy this'd this
- JaguarPirate and Teeej this'd this
Used to be mine
think my enthusiasm for it died a bit when they played it at RAH and Marr laid the cheesiest dang solo in the middle of it
- furio, JaguarPirate, and bowiecokemirror this'd this
You're wrong.
That jam could do with an extra five minutes if you ask me.Severed799 and spaffy this'd this
that jam is one of the best things everYesiamaduck this'd this
I always find myself completely sold by the outro
I used to dislike it, but I love how it progresses into quite a sparse tune with some fantastic drum and guitar interplay without being showy.
OR Styrofoam Boots/It's Alright on Ice
too toughJaguarPirate and bowiecokemirror this'd this
I always loved that the vocals seem so distant on that song, in such a way that listening to it on headphones makes it sound like he's playing in the room with you, just behind you somewhere.
I get a bit teary
I'm not gonna lie
Listening to Lonesome now
it's Cowboy Dan (I think)
Float On
Just an incredible track. But I can see how you could overlisten it and end up having a more personal connection to other, more emotive songs.
probably heart cooks brain.
others that are amazing imo:
you're the good things
teeth like god's shoeshine
shit luck
all nite diner
birds vs worms
Shit Luck
THIS PLANE IS DEFINITELY CRASHINGGGJaguarPirate and Tiresias42 this'd this
Remember them playing this live
I can't believe we're actually playing this...THIS PLANE IS DEFINITELY CRASHING
- styrofoamboots and JaguarPirate this'd this
And Bury Me With It
and loads of others.
Dark Centre of the Universe
or 3rd Planet
oh fuck, 3rd planet
how did I forget that. That's actually the shout
thats the only album by them i enjoy
whoa whoa whoa
that's not even the best one
what about
listening to all the old tracks
reminded just how fucking good Jeremiah's drum are, like all the time. They always sounds so crisp and he never seems to play exactly the same beat twice, always changing it up slightly. God damn best band
Doin' the Cockroach
Close second is Dukes Up. Love the guitar line: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVwGGFnkHgc
And third place goes to The Stars Are Projectors.
Definately a difficult question!
I think i will go with one of these 6...sorry but I just can't wittle it down any further...could be any of these depending the mood I'm in when you ask -
Gravity Rides Everything,
Paper Thin Walls,
Heart Cooks Brain,
Out of Gas,
Custom Concern
Styrofoam Boots/it's Alright on ice
Bankrupt on selling and 3rd planet just behind.munx this'd this
Custom Concern
the parts with vocals are just really touching and desperate-sounding IMO.
3rd Planet
I used to listen to the first half of the Moon and Antartica a lot on the way to work at Sainsbury's in the early hours of the morning, when I was at Uni. I remember once, after I learnt what the song was about, listening to it and it completely flooring me. Amazing song.aactv this'd this
Outside naked, shiverin looking blue, from the cold
Sunlight that's reflected off the moon.
Baby cum angels fly around you reminding you we used
To be three and not just two.
And that's how the world began.
And that's how the world will end.
Yeah, i've always thought it was abortion/miscarridge/child death
I just had a look on songmeanings and lots of people there think it's about adam and eve (the 3rd they lose being god) or the holy trinity...
Considering Issac Brock always comes across as a massive atheist (a lot of MM songs seems to be very anti religion) I find this quite funny.
He's had a lot of choice quotes backing this up
his lyrics even heavily imply it, those who think otherwise aren't listening properlyNickDS this'd this
songmeanings is always full of people insisting every song is about the singer's relationship with christ
I'd only picked that up from this thread
Very moving with that in mind, and I'd thought it was a great song already.
I love Gravity Rides Everything
but ubh find it far too hard to choose a fav.
Has anyone mentioned What People are Made of? The whole: ''And you wound up on an island of shells and bones that bodies had left'' and the scream at the end bits are brilliant.
used to listen that that and So Long To The Holidays by Ugly Casanova any time it was the last day of a school holiday
goddamn I miss being an angsty, overly-sincere teen :')incandenza_ this'd this
- Icarus-Smicarus this'd this
No one has any love for
Parting of the Sensory?
I'm typically pretty alone in my love for We Were Dead... not my favourite, but for sure not my least favourite, definitely prefer it to Good News
It's a great song
but by no mean my favIcarus-Smicarus this'd this
Don't agree on Parting of the Sensory being my favourite
But I do share your love for We Were Dead. Brilliant album.NickDS this'd this
Truckers Atlas
Been revisiting Lonesome Crowded West and re-loving every track today. For me, Truckers Atlas has the best beats and a great improv. vibe which perfectly fits the freewheeelin' subject.
Was it my imagination or did I hear an R&B track
the other day, where they've sampled the guitar riff from Float On?
lupe shitty fiasco
I couldn't work out if they'd ripped it off, or if they'd officially used it>
Because - on the version that I hear, anyway - it was barely recognisable.
That Pink single that was in the charts a few months ago sort of samples it
Or at the very least uses something very similar.
Float On has been bastardised a lot since release
but the American Idol version is by far the worst offender http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAXzu4PX6e0
- furio this'd this
birds vs worms maybe
i don't like the shouty tracks anymore
Oh and Little Motel and Spitting Vemon from We were dead...
I know a lot seem to prefer Lonesome and Moon but Good News and We Were Dead are great albums in their own right. Those four are all equal for me.danger this'd this
We Were Dead has a lot of good songs on it
but it does drag in the later half
it's too much of that jaunty mid 00s indie rhythm thing
they always had that in their sound but there were all kinds of different styles going on in the earlier albums, whereas the last two are a bit one-note for me.
I've grown way more attached to them both in recent years (especially Good News...), but I felt they both sounded more 'standard' indie than unmistakeably Modest Mouse like with the earlier stuff.Untogether this'd this
From what I've heard of some of there new material
it seems like they're stepping away from the sound a little bit, still elements of it but songs like 'Poison The Well' really remind me a little more of the older sound http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__mcNOU91Qc

Fallopian tubes are tubes that lead from the ovaries to the uterus. A tubal ligation is a sterilization procedure to close the tubes.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Tubal ligation is done to prevent pregnancy.
If you have this surgery, you will still ovulate and menstruate. The cut or blocked tubes keep the egg and sperm separated. When the egg and sperm cannot meet, fertilization does not happen and pregnancy cannot occur.
This surgery is not recommended as a temporary or reversible procedure. Make sure you and your partner consider all the birth control options.
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Potential problems include:
Some factors that may increase the risk of problems include:
A physical exam and pregnancy test will be done.
Leading up to your procedure:
You may receive one of the following:
A small cut will be made in the area of the navel. A harmless gas will then be inserted through this cut and into your abdomen. The gas will inflate the abdominal cavity. This will make it easier to view the internal organs. A long, thin instrument called a laparoscope will be inserted. It will contain a small camera and lighting system, which will let the doctor see inside the abdomen. A second cut may be made just above the pubic hair to insert an instrument for grasping the fallopian tubes. The tubes will be closed in one of the following ways:
The instruments will then be removed and the openings will be closed with stitches.
In some cases, the doctor may switch to an
open surgery. This involves making a larger incision.
You will be brought into the recovery room. You will rest there until the anesthesia wears off. You may receive pain medication.
20-30 minutes
Anesthesia will keep you comfortable and pain free during the procedure. You may feel bloated and have pain in your shoulder or chest because of the air inserted into your abdomen. Pain and discomfort after the procedure can be managed with medications.
You can usually go home the same day. You may need to stay longer if you have complications.
To help ensure a smooth recovery:
Call your doctor if any of the following occur:
If you think you have an emergency, call for emergency medical help right away.

STOCKTON - Bishop Stephen Blaire said Thursday that, despite a potential bankruptcy by the Diocese of Stockton, churches and schools under its umbrella would not be financially impacted.
STOCKTON - Bishop Stephen Blaire said Thursday that, despite a potential bankruptcy by the Diocese of Stockton, churches and schools under its umbrella would not be financially impacted.
Bankruptcy could be the next chapter for the church because of child sex abuse scandals, a move more than half a dozen dioceses across the country have made after being hit by lawsuits from victims seeking billions of dollars.
The Diocese of Stockton, based in a city that is facing its own financial problems as the largest U.S. city to file for bankruptcy, said the organization is considering relief from the federal court.
Confirmation of the potential to file for bankruptcy follows a lawsuit settlement for $1.75 million with a victim of defrocked priest Oliver O'Grady, whose pedophilia was chronicled in the documentary "Deliver Us From Evil," and who was convicted in San Joaquin County in the 1990s.
Half of the settlement from this lawsuit will come from an insurance company, and the diocese is responsible for the other half, but Blaire said the organization has few resources left to settle other pending claims.
"There are still four (pending) cases, and we don't even know how many more there are out there," he said.
A potential Chapter 11 filing would halt all litigation and allow the diocese to reorganize its assets and debts. It may result in creditors being paid cents on the dollar. A federal bankruptcy judge would decide how the diocese's resources are dispersed.
Blaire said legal fees and lawsuit settlements have been coming out of its reserves, which have shrunk to less than $1 million.
Operation costs for the diocese are covered with service fees charged to parishes and contributions collected through the Bishop's Ministry Appeal, which helps fund administration, migrant programs, other ministries and Catholic schools.
"That comes in and goes out right away for salaries," Blaire said. "We have never used that money to pay any settlement costs."
The schools and parishes were incorporated separately from the diocese years ago, and because they are separate entities, they do not assume the diocese's liability, he said.
There are 40 corporations connected to the diocese, and those organizations are responsible for generating their own revenue, Blaire said.
He did, however, say that there are still questions as to what resources might be affected, including any funding streams that are linked with the diocese's other corporations.
"You're asking questions that cannot be answered at this time," he said. "If you do go into bankruptcy, then you have to look at everything, and some funds are secure.
"The whole purpose is to find a fair way to meet all your obligations."
But Newport Beach attorney John Manly, who is representing two men who say they are victims of the former priest of St. Andrew's Parish in San Andreas, Michael Kelly, doubts that the diocese might file for bankruptcy because of four outstanding lawsuits.
He believes it might be an attempt to put a lid on the roles Blaire and Monsignor Richard Ryan played in covering up complaints against Kelly.
About 10 years ago, the diocese sent Kelly to a treatment facility for a psychological evaluation, according to church reports submitted to the court. Doctors advised officials that Kelly has pedophilic traits, and they recommended he not be in a ministry involving children.
"They knew about Michael Kelly long before he got to (St. Andrew's)," Manly said, adding that it was church leaders' responsibility to remove Kelly.
"The victims didn't molest themselves," said Manly, who also recently won a settlement from the diocese for Travis Trotter, a former altar boy at Cathedral of the Annunciation in Stockton who said he was raped by Kelly in the 1980s.
Barbara Dorris, outreach director of the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, released a statement Thursday.
"When bishops seek bankruptcy protection, all lawsuits, depositions, discovery and trials come to a screeching halt," Dorris said. "The court plays no role in exposing wrongdoers or preventing wrongdoing. It just divides up money. So Catholics and citizens learn nothing about who is committing and concealing clergy child sex crimes."
She said the Church's bankruptcy claims have been "about protecting the power and reputations of powerful church officials who desperately want to keep their complicity in child sex cases under wraps.
"Make no mistake about it: that's the real motivation here," she said. "It's a lack of courage, not a lack of funds. It's to protect reputations, not assets."
Manly believes diocese leaders have been preparing to avoid liability for years, starting with the separate incorporation of its churches and later by setting up a separate entity where funds can be diverted.
Manly referred to The Church of Tomorrow, a $30 million fund that is its own organization.
"It's like putting it in a Swiss bank account and pretending you're broke," Manly said. "Chapter 11 is for organizations that have debt they can't pay."
Blaire countered that The Church of Tomorrow is a campaign specifically set up to raise funds for capital improvements at schools and parishes, to help provide tuition scholarships, and to support ministries.
"We told the people it would never be used for legal fees," Blaire said.
The Diocese of Stockton wouldn't be the first or the largest Catholic arm to file for bankruptcy protection in the United States.
The Diocese of San Diego was the largest to file in 2007, having been hit with 144 civil lawsuits of child sex abuse by priests. Other dioceses to have sought bankruptcy protection include Orange in 2005; Portland, Ore., in 2004; and Tuscan, Ariz., in 2004.
Blaire said he wants the community to know the diocese is looking at all alternate ways to address the financial issue.
"Right now we have enough money to pay our bills," he said, but not enough to compensate for any more settlements.
Blaire said he is not ready to disclose the names of his bankruptcy attorneys. He said the diocese has informed personnel and is preparing discussions with the congregations.

Added Nov 1, 2013
by SENEBO
Southend On Sea,...
My son asked me Monday night to make him a steampunk costume for Thursday, 2 days to make it from scratch. I brought a mans wool jacket, cotton shirt and belts from the charity shop for £6. First I removed the sleeves and shoulder pads and bound them with bias binding, I took in the side seams, shaped the front and took up the back . I moved the buttons over so the jacket did up on the side , added belt fasteners on front and put two button holes in other side to thread a belt through. added a few extra bits. Made him a pair of goggles from swimming goggles , leather, torch , old watch front and a spice jar lid. I also made torch from things found around the house

Through the acquisition of Sirtris, GSK will significantly enhance its metabolic, neurology, immunology and inflammation research efforts by establishing a presence in the field of sirtuins, a recently-discovered class of enzymes that are believed to be involved in the ageing process. Sirtris Pharmaceuticals has established a drug discovery capability to exploit sirtuin modulation for the treatment of human disease, an approach that has the potential to generate multiple clinically and commercially important products. Their focus to date has been on the development of SIRT1 activators for the treatment of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM).
"Modulation of this family of enzymes is a potentially transformative science that could address diseases associated with metabolism and ageing such as diabetes, muscle wasting, and neurodegeneration," commented Moncef Slaoui, Chairman GSK R&D. "This acquisition continues GSK's strategy of pursuing the best new science, externally or internally, to bring new medicines to patients and value to the GSK pipeline. Our intent is to retain all Sirtris employees and continue the entrepreneurial and innovative culture they created."
Sirtris will become part of GSK's Drug Discovery organisation, while continuing to operate from laboratories in Cambridge, Massachusetts as an autonomous drug discovery unit. Christoph Westphal, CEO and Vice Chair of Sirtris and the management team will continue to lead this autonomous unit.
Dr Westphal commented, "We have built a dynamic and scientifically-driven organisation. We expect this transaction will accelerate our vision to target sirtuins to treat diseases of metabolism and ageing and deliver tremendous value to patients, our shareholders and our employees. We look forward to working with GlaxoSmithKline and their world-class research, development and commercialisation organisation."
Under the agreement, a subsidiary of GSK will commence a cash tender offer to purchase all of the outstanding shares of Sirtris, at USD22.50 (or approx. GBP11.33) per share followed by a second step merger in which any untendered Sirtris shares would be acquired at the same price per share. All outstanding stock options will be cancelled with holders receiving the excess of the transactions price over the exercise price. The acquisition has been approved by the board of directors of each company and is subject to customary closing conditions, including the tender of at least a majority of Sirtris's shares and clearance under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act. The parties anticipate that the tender offer will be commenced in early May and close in the second quarter of 2008.

"Hospitals Give Health Law Real-World Test"
Dale Johnson is Exhibit A for people who believe that the new federal health-care law has embedded in it the secret to better care for less money. Suffering from congestive heart failure, coronary-artery disease and diabetes, the 58-year-old former teacher was hospitalized five times last year at The Mount Sinai Medical Center here and visited its emergency room 12 times. Cost to Medicare: $43,849. This year—with the help of a team of doctors, nurses and social workers—Mrs. Johnson shows up for appointments, takes her medications and is managing her chronic conditions. She has been hospitalized only once and ran up only $6,796 in Medicare costs through late August. But there is an Exhibit B in the same program, a 65-year-old woman with cancer and mental-health problems who has missed 10 appointments and has cost Medicare about $70,000 this year at Mount Sinai alone, much of it from hospital visits she could have avoided if she had followed doctors' instructions. "She's a great example of a kind of patient that poses a great challenge for us as we try to avoid unnecessary costs," says Jeffrey Farber, MD, a Mount Sinai medical officer. Mount Sinai's experience with patients like these provides an early glimpse at one facet of the federal health act in the real world. The women are part of a so-called accountable-care organization [where] hospitals or groups of doctors contract with insurers to provide care for an assigned patient population. The aim: better care at lower cost. Mount Sinai's experience to date shows some of the promise and pitfalls of the ACO. Based in Manhattan, it applied for Medicare's ACO program largely because "we wanted to position ourselves for what we think will be the future of reimbursement," says Kenneth L. Davis, MD, President and CEO of The Mount Sinai Medical Center. Learn more

A couple of guys sit around and shoot the shit. Sometimes it's over alcohol, coffee or food; sometimes it's in a dark room. Existential questions arise. A cloud of mystery looms heavy over the minimalist narrative. This is the theme of a lot of well-known scripts (The Seafarer, My Dinner with Andre and "The Dumb Waiter" come to mind). Another well-received guys-at-a-table piece is Derek Davidson's "Jack of Dover."
Davidson wrote the play back in the mid '90s when he was a master's student at Miami University of Ohio. At the time, an undergrad named Mike Ostroski saw it and was deeply moved. Later, both men ended up in New Mexico. Davidson had his play adapted for the screen and immortalized in the film Joe Gould's Secret.
The playwright left Albuquerque after five years, but he's returning to see a production of "Jack of Dover." It's being put on for the first time here and directed by his college pal—Mike Ostroski.
The one-act pits Jack, a fortysomething poet, and his nephew, Jeff, a more straitlaced editor at a publishing company, in a Jersey City diner. The meeting is a regular occurrence. The two chat about life, drink coffee and laugh, and Jeff gives Jack a check so he can continue his hermitic poet's lifestyle. As Ostroski tells the Alibi, "Jack has taken the last seven years to experience a harder life so he can write an epic poem about the American working man. ... He wants to be the next Walt Whitman."
Jeff, meanwhile, hasn't seen a good piece of writing in years, and he's desperate to get ahold of the large notebook his uncle is carrying around. "You believe that this guy knows what he's talking about," Ostroski says of Jack. "He's passionate about it, irreverent, and he's having some ennui because he believes everyone is leading a life of blind desperation, so he's trying to wake everybody up, including himself."
That's really all you should know. The payoff is just too massive, and I'm not one to play spoiler. As Ostroski says, "If done well, it's incredible how much meaning can be generated by a little."
The play opens Wednesday, Jan. 18, as part of Mother Road Theatre Company's Empty Space Series. Davidson will be on hand Friday and Saturday, Jan. 27 and 28, for talk-backs with the audience.


text: I had spinal fusion for severe, double-curve scoliosis in 1972 and have a long Harrington rod. I must have had a wonderful surgeon (Dr. Hugo Keim at Columbia Presbyterian in NYC), because I was pain-free and problem-free for almost 30 years. I've had two babies with no spine-related problems during pregnancy and normal deliveries. In recent years, my back has become "noisy," especially when carrying heavy items or twisting. The noises sound like bone crunching bone, and there is some sensation of grinding - but no pain - along with that. I began to have low back pain if I was on my feet too long or sitting bent over textbooks for too long. A recent new development of pain in the lower right quadrant sent me to the doctor suspecting an ovarian cyst, but an ultrasound exam found no problem in that area. My family doctor sent me for an x-ray to see if a problem in my lumbar spine might be the source of the pain. I don't have the radiologist's report yet, but I do have the x-ray, and even to my untrained eye, it doesn't look good. The Harrington rod appears to be attached at L3. Below this level, the vertebrae appear compressed and misaligned. I'm wondering if I can have an MRI with the metal rod in place. A woman who answered the phone at a local radiology facility says I can have an "open" MRI. If anyone has information or experiences to share, I would really appreciate hearing from you.

The Allen Arena playing court was named after former men's basketball coach Don Meyer in a ceremony held Saturday, Dec. 3.
Meyer is the all-time winningest men's collegiate basketball coach with a record of 923-324 in 38 years as a head coach. He coached Lipscomb from 1975 to 1999 and directed the Bisons to the NAIA National Championship in 1986.
Over 300 former players, family members, and special guests attended the ceremony held at halftime of the men's basketball game against Kennesaw State.
Click here for a photo gallery of the special day. Click on the image to the right to watch the introduction video played at the court naming ceremony.
The Lipscomb basketball program under Meyer produced the top two scorers in collegiate history along with the all-time career leaders in 3-point shooting, steals and assists. Meyer also produced three national players of the year and 22 All-Americans. His camps are legendary and have attracted instructors ranging from John Wooden to Pat Summitt.
Meyer was involved in a life-changing car accident on Sept. 5, 2008 that led to eight surgeries and the amputation of his left leg below the knee. He was subsequently diagnosed with cancer in his liver and small intestine. Meyer was awarded the "Jimmy V Award for Perseverance" from ESPN at the ESPY Awards in July 2009.
Northern State University also honored Meyer by naming their court after him. Meyer took over the Northern State program starting with the 1999-2000 season and retired from coaching following the 2009-10 season. He remains on the Northern State staff as a Regent Distinguished Professor.
The National Basketball Hall of Fame awarded Meyer with the John Bunn Award in 2010 for significant contributions to the sport of basketball.
Lipscomb's annual athletics fundraiser is also named for Meyer and has featured guests including Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow and legendary Duke basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski.
The Wayne, Neb. native attended the University of Northern Colorado and graduated in 1967 majoring in physical education and minoring in English. Meyer began his coaching career at Western State (Colo.) where he was an assistant from 1968-70. From there he went to the University of Utah where he served as an assistant basketball coach from 1970-72 and earned a Ph.D. His first head coaching position was at Hamline from 1972-75.
Meyer has been married to his wife Carmen for 43 years. The couple has three children and eight grandchildren.

The father of the two young brothers at the center of the Boston bombing investigation mourned his dead older son, calling Tamerlan Tsarnaev "a true angel."
Tsarnaev, 26, and his brother Dzhokhar, 19, were identified by the FBI as suspects in Monday's deadly explosions at the Boston Marathon. A series of events early Friday morning lead to a massive manhunt and shootout in Watertown that left Tamerlan Tsarnaev dead.
His father, who still lives in the southern Russian republic of Dagestan, described his son as a gifted student who dreamed of becoming a professional boxer.
The Tsarnaev brothers attended Cambridge Rindge & Latin school and Tamerlan Tsarnaev spent three semesters at Bunker Hill Community College between 2006 and 2008.
The brothers moved from Chechnya sometime after 2001. Both were legal permanent residents, and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev reportedly became an United States citizen last year.

'Prey 2′ Doesn't Have a Prayer Of Coming Out This Year
Bad news continues to bombard those hoping to play Prey 2 any time soon. The long-distance sequel to the 2006 shooter has not only been delayed for the 400 millionth time — now bumped to next year — but the game's developer has apparently long since stopped working altogether on the sequel.
Developer Human Head has been on a holdout since November, refusing to plug away at Prey 2 until it works out a better contract. Like a high-priced free agent running back who's coming off a career year, the developer is playing hardball, and may be jeopardizing the future of its long-term project in the process.
Publisher Bethesda and its daddy, ZeniMax, aren't saying whether or not it will work things out with Human Head or yank the project away and hand it to another developer. Hopefully this is just like that part in an action flick when all seems loss, and then the hero decides that this time it's personal and starts to take care of business.

Angelina Jolie's 'Unbroken' is a Film 'We All Need Now More Than Ever'
Angelina Jolie looks absolutely gorgeous at The State of the Industry: Past, Present and Future and Universal Studios Presentation held at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace during CinemaCon on Tuesday (March 25) in Las Vegas.
The 38-year-old actress discussed her film Unbroken, which she just wrapped directing earlier this year.
"Over the years the project experienced a number of false starts," Universal Pictures chairman Donna Langley said of the project (via THR).
"I wanted to make this film because in the end its message is one that we all need now more than ever. It's the journey of man finding his way through the darkness and into the light," Angelina said when she walked on stage.
FYI: Angelina is wearing Juan Carlos Obando with Ferragamo shoes.

Last night was the big council decision on Agensys development. I was at the City Council meeting, accompanied by some fellow steering committee members of Spoke and a few other cyclists in attendance who exercised their public speaking time to advocate for cycling. Kevin McKeown introduced a motion to add an additional $20,000 dollars to the development agreement, to be spent for cycling improvements in the district. This amount is not enough on it's own to do a whole lot, but since there is currently no budget at all for planning bike projects in the area, it means this money can seed the process that can secure additional grants for implementation once necessary studies are conducted. A Caltrans owned strip of land that could bridge Michigan East of the 10 to 20th St. and a conversion of 26th St. to allow for a bike route are possibilities being considered, but were previously without budgets.
It seemed fairly apparent that the decision was a forgone conclusion, that the agreement would pass, before anything was said. However Bobby Shriver made for a few fireworks by criticizing city staff process and expressing frustration that the city had not fully worked out just how valuable the land is they are dealing with. Agensys knows, because they are offering some kind of likely large but undisclosed amount to current lease holder Lionstone to take over the lease. However they are not obligated to inform the public what that offer is. Shriver pointed out theoretically that without the lease extension to Agensys, when Lionstone's lease runs out, the city could do what ever it wanted with the land, since the city is the land owner. This could be a park, it could even be a bicycle stadium as he pointed out jokingly, referring to the presence of cycling activists present.
That potential use is worth something, and he felt staff had not properly explored just how much that worth is or had properly prepped the council with enough information going into the negotiations. In regards to public benefits, I don't think bicycling was really a priority for Shriver, but he seemed most frustrated that there were not more job specific programs for locals in the package.
In the end it was all yay votes for passing the agreement and McKeown's motion to add funds for cycling, with Bobby Shriver as the one nay vote for the whole thing, for the reasons and frustration he had expressed. There is still one more vote on this issue at the end of the month, the final one, but my understanding is that it is mostly ceremonial, and that tonight's vote really sealed the deal.
This whole Agensys ordeal was very much a learning process for Santa Monica cycling activists, and while I had spoken at a few meeting before, this was really my first time getting seriously involved in a big political issue. While we did not get the desired bike path Barbara had proposed, we did make a lot of noise, and drew attention to cycling in the center stage, including coverage in the local press. It's quite likely had activists not gotten involved in the process, there would have been zero consideration and funds for bike route improvements out of this deal. Hence the importance of getting involved. I hate public speaking, but you don't get the change you want to see in the world by staying quiet.
I think perhaps the most important take away from this, more than the funding, is that we sent a clear message. The message that cyclists are not happy with the status quo, we demand change, and we are tired or waiting for it. That we we are becoming more organized, and we intend to hold the City's feet to the fire over the principles of the LUCE planning document. Frank Gruber, who frequently writes on local politics and urban planning issues in Santa Monica, and author of the book Urban Worrier: Making Politics Personal, weighed in on the Agensys issue with his assessment that cyclists have really won something in the process, though we may have lost the dedicated bike path we had advocated for.
There is still much work to be done and future projects to tackle, but I want to personally thank everyone who got involved in this issue. Those who came and spoke, wrote letters, and helped out behind the scenes, and especially Barbara Fillet, who has been a champion for a vision of a complete Michigan Ave. bike route for many years.
