SUPERTRAINS!
don't be sorry, Gindy! Be proud! 
i totally agree with atrios' argument for light rail in uber-dense areas, although i could never ever live in a place that that concept makes sense.
whatever i meant...
...AlixPartners LLP, a Michigan-based turnaround consulting firm, estimates that 25.8% of 182 large retailers it tracks are at significant risk of filing for bankruptcy or facing financial distress in 2009 or 2010.
That means 74.2% will make it. Atrios is so negative man.
Hmmmm. Looks like the problems of a corporate driven consumer society might solve themselves. If all the big boxes go tits up, then maybe small local retailers will resurge again.
Portland is not by nature Manhattan-dense, but everywhere the Transit District puts a light-rail line, the nature of development changes, becoming denser above with street-level retail.
cerberus is leveraging the 51% stake they have in gmac to fuck with gm. in many ways, car fubar is becoming a death match between the two. developing...

I bet the other dems won't primary the person either. I am not in great joy about her getting picked, but the pile-on is getting trollish.
you mean merchants can actually sell goods? I guess the terrorists haven't ended all commerce, then. unfortunately, these guys didn't have time to seek bankruptcy protection.
Cerberus is named for the 3-headed dog at the entrance to hell. I'm thinking this may influence the outcome.
hello all
markos is wigging out about Caroline kENNEDY AGAIN.
So marching orders are out at the GOS? Man, I haven't been there in forever.
Doesn't Portland have dense urban development and more open land in outlying areas? That seems to be the most sensible kind of development to me. The snob zoning model followed most places only results in loss of open land so people can stay inside their mega houses watching tv, going out only to get in their cars.
Light rail should be mandatory in cities. They should ban cars.
Markos is becoming a boyishly-cute windbag.
Dan Quayle is a VP at Cerebrus. They are serious.

Gets a bit boring after awhile.
The main problem with Christown is that its "anchor store" is a fucking WalMart. But now that light rail connects there, I'm hoping something more upscale develops.
In a few years it could look more like the Biltmore area of Phoenix. I hope.
We have a downtown core west of The Willamette River that is quite urban/dense, which is bound by steep hills on the West. East of the river the city is less dense but urban. Suburbs ring the entire city and are bounded by a metropolitan "Urban Growth Boundary", outside of which development is restricted.

Markos has needed a chill pill for quite some time.

Very appropriate.
Doesn't Portland have dense urban development and more open land in outlying areas?
Yes, but as plantsman pointed out, not anywhere near SF-Manhattan dense. But we've had a strong urban planning law for about 40 years in order to save farms and avoid Californication. My inlaws live just outside the "urban growth boundary" which is hard to push out due to our laws.
Light rail should be mandatory in cities. They should ban cars.
In Singapore they have effectively done this. They're looking to do this in London as well.

r€nato,
I am particularly thinking about that area just south of Christown where they knocked down that ugly strip mall a year or two ago. It's ripe for urban-density development. Right at the end of the rail line.
We need the Los Angeles Metro Link to complete the effing last three miles to the Los Angeles Airport. Get intelligent planners for any more rail programs.
There's something to be said for reading a book or simply gazing at the scene as one travels to shop.
Not thinking about where or how you're going to park is quite liberating, actually.

cerberus basically bailed out gm back in april 06 to the tune of $14 large when it took over 51% of gmac. there's one hell of a backstory here that might finally be written about.
BTW, for those of you who aren't familiar with Oregon, in the 1970's the entire state was effectively "zoned" in order to prevent Californication.
The real estate/developer/sprawl lobbies have been fighting it ever since. Many of the recent initiative drives on property rights originated with these people who are, as always, looking out for their short term profit, not long term sustainablity and general welfare.

really... 15 years ago I lived at Camelback and 22nd Ave, just around the corner from Christown/Spectrum.
So I kinda know how the area WAS... it would be great if they could manage to spruce up that area. There are some really nice neighborhoods just east of there but for so long that whole Bethany Home/19th Ave area has been kinda sad and I haven't gone there since I bought my last set of tires at the Costco there four years or so ago.
Anyway, Phila, I'm impressed. I wish I had that kind of ability to cull people.

It's not really an ability. I'm either busy or exhausted a lot of the time, so my social life is pretty well restricted to the people who mean the most to me, most of whom I've known for decades and none of whom are prone to taking their midlife angst out on their partners or anyone else.

James Joseph Cialella, 29, was charged with attempted murder, aggravated assault and weapons violations, a police report said.
Cialella told the family sitting in front of him in the theater on Christmas Day to be quiet, police said.
An argument ensued while others at the Riverview Movie Theatre watched "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," starring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported.
Cialella then approached the family from the left side of the aisle and shot the father, who was not identified, as he was standing between Cialella and his family, according to the police report.

Other than that people go nuts whenever its anything to do with a Kennedy, I can't figure out why it's any worse than any other non-elected Senate appointment. She might be a great Senator. Paterson doesn't strike me as someone who's going to appoint an idiot to the post. I was very impressed with him on Moyer's program last week. Just about uniquely frank and realistic for a governor.

It is so much better. Before That Woman (Thatcher), public rail transport in the UK was astoundingly good. She Reaganized it all, and it's now (a) far more expensive and (b) much less reliable.
Public ownership of public transport is by far the very best thing to do. Look at, for example, the subway systems in DC and NYC. Reasonably priced, efficient as hell, safe, not exposed to the elements.
I'd give up driving forever if Chicago had a system half as good as London's or New York's.

They think calling someone "gay" is akin to hurling a horrific insult their way.
It hasn't occurred to them that the members of this community don't consider being gay a crime or something of which to be ashamed.
Their little brains can't grasp that concept.
But Papageno and Papagena are just total horndogs and when they hook up, it's crazy erotic.

AtDH: Curiously, I was struck by how much larger Europe is than I had appreciated.
Summer 2007 for a variety of odd reasons I found myself making a trip to Berlin and Prague with my polyglot daughter (one of her linguistic skills is nearly fluent German.) We landed in Frankfurt, and Eurail-passed to Prague. Took maybe five or six hours, and the train did not stop many places.
Comfortable, though lacking a bar car for much of the time, and utterly safe. Center to center, Frankfurt to Prague. None of that airline security crap, no shlepping out dozens of miles to the airport at God knows what price, nope. You can read, walk around, have a drink (or several), play cards (most European cars have four chairs facing each other, across a nice table). It's very social.
OK, the plane might have taken 30 minutes of flying but you'd still need an hour to one airport, an hour back, and at least another hour of BS what with security and baggage. That works out to a net savings of maybe 2 to 3 hours, and much more hassle and expense. A reasonable trade in my book.

Hemorrhoids is a painful condition which veins in the rectal and anal area become swollen. Some have liken this condition to varicose veins which occurs with age. While some types of hemorrhoids can clear up by themselves after minimal treatment, other types such as bleeding hemorrhoids are more serious.

i thought that mentioning the nightmare of a big box would have been in poor taste.
Bleeding hemorrhoids must be evaluated by a qualified physician and given prompt treatment before the condition becomes more serious. For those who suffer from bleeding hemorrhoids for the first time, it can be a scary and bloody experience. Oozing of fresh red blood externally or internally is a sign of bleeding hemorrhoids. Bleeding internal hemorrhoids can result in fresh blood in the stools, in the toilet bowl and toilet paper.

Too much pressure on rectal veins due to poor muscle tone or posture such as prolonged sitting. In fact, it is encouraged that patients use squatting toilet instead of the unnatural sitting ones for hemorrhoid relief.

The Germans have a very serious problem on their hands, one that pits two of their most primal loves against each other.
They love their forests, but they also love their autobahn, and there is evidence that auto emmissions are killing the forests. German life is so very regulated, except for the no speed limit portions of the autobahn and that is very valued. They like to drive fast to get to the forest to take their 10km walks in!

What's at issue is the availability of alternatives. By and large, cities in Germany are accessible by train. The society doesn't require long-haul truck and commuting the way that the desert West does. So comparing their ability to deal with higher prices to ours is stupid.
Here comes some purely anecdotal retail-related "data" ...
Every year in the few days after xmas I go to two "luxury" stores -- Barneys and ABC Carpet & Home -- to pick up an ornament or two. They're always 50% (or more) off and the stores are usually mobbed to the point of insufferability.
So I went to ABC yesterday and Barney's today. Yes, the ornaments were 50%, but neither store could even remotely qualify as "crowded." ABC, especially, was empty. Barneys was only busy on the first floor (accessories, mostly).
The only store I passed that was crowded was Fishs Eddy (a local dish and flatware place). They were having a big-ass sale.
In Dirk's new economy, we need an orderly process for the making of dick jokes.
As always, the invisible hand of the market will jerk us off and then make jokes about it.
I thought shrimping had something to do with a toe fetish..?
and don't forget the other side of the coin. (official coin: the nipple)

Wouldn't they all just be vaguely convex/concave?

I'm wondering what Laffer and Gilder would make of this economy.

Got to go. Can't talk dirty about money anymore. Fun to think about, though.
They were having a big-ass sale.
You can never have too many big asses, I say...
the name "Kennedy" is no more a disqualifier than it is a qualifier,
there is something to be said in favor of connections...

My anecdotal "things are rotten" story came on the day after Thansgiving. I was in SF's Union Square about 2:00 pm and it was dead. I've seen more people on the street there on a mid-week summer's day.

This is a valid point. The personal automobile is a luxury in Germany. Getting a license to drive is expensive. Maintaining a car is expensive, and it must be maintained, because your vehicle is regularly inspected. Insurance is mandatory and expensive.
So there are alternatives to the private individual auto to get around. I had a car in Germany, but I only used it for the commute from the BOQ to the base, in general. To go to Frankfurt for pub crawling we'd take the S Bahn from Wiesbaden. We wouldn't drive.
BTW NTodd if you have any more questions for my family,(which I gladly ask to annoy them)let me know, (or LMK)
I will be spending and drinking New Years Eve with them in the 'burgh.
I plan on being drunk enough to say anything to piss them off this time. They have earned it.
I was thinking of spending some time removing all weapons (toys and all) from the house.
In lieu of flowers, smoke some in my name.
Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Choooooooo chooooooooooooooo! 20 minutes on the button from Camelback & Central to Central & Van Buren, smooth as silk. Trains bursting at the seams, filled with everybody riding and testing things out. Beauty-ful. $2.50 round trip, free parking at the park and ride, any number of stops thru the day - versus $1/hr parking and 45 minutes to drive into work. $1.25 to go to the airport - don't have to park, don't have to pay parking, don't have to leave your car out in the sun, versus $20 for the Super Shtetl. Go all the way out to Mesa from 19th Avenue & Montebello (Christown) in exactly 60 minutes. This thing is so slick the hive workers downtown will run to use it - all the buses are jealous of the new guy. Very, very nice. We did very good to vote this money.
Yeah, the streets around Barneys (Madison in the low '60s) were NOT busy.
There WERE boatloads of tourists taking carriage rides in Central Park, though. They were backed up as though they were waiting to go through the Lincoln Tunnel on the Friday of Memorial Day weekend. $35 for the first 1/2 mile or fraction thereof and $10 for every 1/2 mile thereafter.
A child soldier or just a child?
The latest, and possibly last, sessions of the Guantanamo war crimes tribunal have revealed disturbing details about how Khadr was treated during three months at Bagram in the custody of U.S. forces who were convinced he had thrown a grenade that killed an American soldier.
Subsequent interrogations during more than six years in U.S. custody have involved snarling dogs, "stress positions" and being upended by guards and used as a human mop to clean the floor.
Khadr is one of at least a dozen juveniles captured and brought to Guantanamo in the Bush administration's post-Sept. 11 war on terrorism. Among the 19 Guantanamo prisoners charged with war crimes, Khadr and Mohammed Jawad, an Afghan thought to be a year younger than the Canadian, are the only ones who were juveniles at the time of their alleged offenses.
Human rights advocates consider the prosecution of Khadr and Jawad another blot on the Guantanamo prison and tribunal. Neither was accorded the protections promised by treaties the U.S. signed.
I turn into a gaping asshole when mom let's me watch her use the virbator and pincers.
Stores here were super busy, but alas, I'm not a shopper, so I didn't partake.
I'll admit it. I hang out where because I can't get any attention anywhere else. They won't even let me comment at LFG and Free Republic.
I hate and fear any woman who speaks her mind and expresses opinions contrary to my own.
I make anti-gay remarks because I am confused about my own sexuality....actually I have no sexuality.

The goal, of course, is to lose that and another 20, but that is my next plan. I'm writing lots of action plans today for a happy, successful, prosperous new year.
One of the things my sister, Val, did last year was committed to saying "YES" to everything that came her way. So when a job in Wenatchee came her way, she said "yes" to it, for $25,000+ more a year than she was making. I think I'm going to do something actionable like that in 2009. Don't want the grass growing under my feet.

No proof, naturally!
I'm fine with Kennedy. She very bright and knows the Constitution. That makes her more qualified then half the senate. If she can't convince voters to reelect in a few years so be it.
No proof, naturally!
Terry C - Post-Xmas Blues
He was in a war zone, he must be guilty of something.
Now 22, Khadr has spent almost a third of his life in U.S. custody. He was raised in a militant Muslim family and was surrounded in his teen years by holy warriors. His lawyers describe him as confused, immature and emotionally damaged.
Seven inches taller than when he arrived, the 6-foot-3 Khadr could be seen on a recent weekday walking alone through the laundry-strewn courtyard outside his Camp 4 bunkhouse, behind fences topped by concertina wire and under the gaze of guards in watchtowers. He perused the tattered offerings of a library cart and selected an issue of National Geographic.
The Geneva Conventions and the U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child hold that it is the responsibility of the state whose soldiers capture juveniles on the battlefield to work to rehabilitate and integrate them into society. Appeals for consideration of Khadr and Jawad's age have been consistently rebuffed at the tribunal.

One more little question about the lightrail- is it "kid-friendly" do you think?

I just had an idea for a horror movie...Ayn Rand comes back from the dead, and strides through our cities destroying light rail installations through telekinesis.
Only went from Montebello to Van Buren - spent 30 minutes in line and was on the fifth train out. Shrimplate, if I were you, I'd park at Uptown Plaza and pick up the train at Camelback & Central (just west). Lots of doings up and down the line - the stop right between the Heard and the Central Library was jumping - much partying in both places, and the Roosevelt district was partying seriously. The trains go thru every 15 minutes during the week, every 20 during the day - and to boot, there are mini-shuttles at most downtown stops to take you in a loop just off Central - to Park Central say and St. Joe's, or down to the Capitol. And no one could say for sure, but there was a fair deal of speculation that the stations, which are all arrayed with solar cells, are actually supplying a fair proportion of the power for the light rail itself. Perfect.
i don't see how you can have a happy year with a rule like "no dirks"
No, but you just helped me write a rule, actually:

Very much so. You'd have to attune yourself to the local bus or train schedule (if your small town was big enough to merit a station) but it would be doable. Heck, even in towns along the I-5 corridor in Oregon that's not very easy to do.
I made many trips to the "big PX" complex in Wiesbaden my first year in Germany from Bad Kreuznach, which was 30 or so miles away, without need of an auto at all. It took some adapting for someone who grew up in the US West, but it could be done.
Back when I can run down the phone battery again.

In fact that was something I thought all along the route. Lotta kids riding with their parents, but the ease of boarding, the openness of the cars, the way the fares are sold in little kiosks on the platform, all this makes it great for school kids. It stop just up from Central High - and ASU and UA downtown and in Tempe as well.

Before it was ethnicitices, it was social classes.
Ethnicity is a much easier marker, but social class is still the real standard. If you take public transport, you clearly aren't middle-class or bourgeois, ergo, you are NOK.
I think there are about six designated park & ride lots for the light rail - but there are quite a few more for the rest of the system, which feeds into the lr. Phoenix also did something very cute, the same sort of scam they pulled with the placement of branch libraries. The stops on the LR are all of them quite near to major or minor shopping centers, which have HUGE lots just waiting to be used.....

RMJ, Phoenix is pretty weird in terms of integration. It was, until 1964, legally segregated. Elements of that have remained in place - and yet the fact is there are a preponderance of residents who are every color other than white. In one of those pictures the majority of people were Navajo, Pueblo or Apache, then, Hispanic, and then, Cowboy.
What nearly caused me to jump off the train was the presence of G-Damned DHS 'officers' wearing shirts with Police printed on them, and carrying weapons and handcuffs on the platform. Right next to the G-Damned TSA 'officers'. DHS has absolutely no business parading around, armed, in the middle of Phoenix Arizona 300 miles away from the Mexican border.

on my recent travels i noticed that airport security officers are now wearing blue/blue/black getups; they look "more like real police." i compliemented the chickee stamping my papers (i always flirt going thru, the better to not be targeted for the wrong kind of attention) and she perked right up like a peacock. "yeah, these are much more official looking," she said to me.
DHS has absolutely no business parading around, armed, in the middle of Phoenix Arizona 300 miles away from the Mexican border.
Considering their effectiveness, at handling any large event, I'd say they have no real business anyway.
Katrina is a prime example.
D is for "darling," no?
shrimplate
Yeah, or "dear."
I can proudly say that I have never watched It's a Wonderful Life.
aw - IAWL is a lovely (if sappy) story. and jimmy stewart is terrific.
my 'R-Rated' version would be lost on you i guess. i do a fairly good stewart imitation with the lines:
"mr potter, you ... you sit here, spinning your, your little webs and ... well, fu-fuck you, mr. potter!"
it is a christmas favorite.
compliemented the chickee stamping my papers (i always flirt going thru, the better to not be targeted for the wrong kind of attention)
you just like the handcuffs.

You all stopped commenting because you hate me!

I hope I didn't say that out loud.
heh. no, i actually have to choose b/w two Sober, Serious dresses in red or silver. this is the political party: i'm hosting, smoozing for future votes/kickbacks, and otherwise trying to impress those older and less irregular than myself. so, hem will be at least to the knees, heels will be under 3" and hair will be Most Contained. the guests are getting the Good Booze (and no Smoke), which is what i've found works best with this crowd, rather than the sex.
I've been in the house during "It's a Wonderful Life," but have never sat to watch it.
I prefer the Animaniacs' Christmas, anyway

Seriously, I wonder if a certain someone will show up here again after the New Year. He broke his promise, as he was here at 4:00 AM EST.

Wow, what if we tore down these unneeded malls and added green space back into our communities?
actually, ms f, it won't be so bad. first off: i'll be nice and High, they are such Squares they won't even notice. secondly, this is the year when i'm going to take over this little burg's political units. so i'm motivated to dazzle them, intellectually speaking of course, at this party. i want them to leave saying, "gol durn, she's pretty bright for a negre, and she knows people. we should listen to her at the next meeting." again, good booze makes that whole impression-making process easier, esp out here in the stix.

that made me sad, but i won't say why.
Great Tits are easy to recognize, large in size at 14 cm, with a broad black line (broader in the male) down its otherwise yellow front. The neck and head are black with white cheeks and ear coverts. Upper parts are olive. It has a white wingbar and outer tail feathers. In young birds the black is replaced by brown, and the white by yellow.
What are we celebrating in 5 min?
I am now lumping Gomez in with Mlle's ex, in the category of Men Who Don't Deserve To Breathe.
Since he posted where he was staying, I googled the hotel and called his room to see if I could get a little rational conversation of why, exactly, he deceived me. Just want to hear it from his mouth.
But he hung up on me as soon as I said, "hi, Mike, it's Vicki, may we please...." Click. C'est la vie.
I have a feeling that this whole thing isn't going over so well for him.
Colfax is one of the major communities of the Palouse.

can't charge rent on greenspace, goddess. that's the rub, as far as the developer types are concerned. saw a lot of something new to me, while in london: private gardens. with low walls, so the prols could look in, but not smell or touch, don't you know. very beautiful, even in winter. how nice it must feel to enter them and know all the little people can only stare with envy as you retreat behind the heirloom everblooming rose trellis with some supermodel on your arm.

I propose that we make "The People" a secured creditor in every bankruptcy. The People get back what they invested -- through tax breaks, unpaid externalities, environmental degradation, etc. -- in every mall and big box store in this country. Then the pension funds get a secured share. If there's anything left over, the other creditors can have at it.
It just occurred to me that I have both Pomegranate juice and champagne in the fridge...
Pom mimosas, anyone?

I'm sorry about the jobs, and I hope President Obama will give those folks WPA jobs restoring green space, building SUPERTRAINS, etc. But we just didn't need all those stores, esp. now when more and more commerce occurs over the internet. Course, President Gore could have arranged for the transition to happen in a planned way over time, while W just fucked it up, as he does with everything. Thanks, Sandra Day. You knew so much better than the majority of voting Americans. No, you didn't.
As usual, Greenwald nails it.

We test drove the Honda Fit and Civic hybrid this afternoon.
The Fit is simply brilliant; tiny on the outside and roomy on the inside. Zippy and fun to drive.
The hybrid is excellent, though it has much less of the fun factor. Very solid, and probably a better car on a road trip. Not as much get up and go, but if you're gonna drive a hybrid, I guess you want the slow and steady approach anyway.
I liked the Fit a bit more; Mrs G was more comfortable with the Civic.

i really have done a leather BDSM elf (elf hat + leather briefs) xmas party. it was some years ago, and remains one of my better memories. the "i can't go home" crowd may be fucked up, but like/when no one else can, they know how to party. ah, suka!
...the LBD is also in the mix, i'm realizing. i can wear a sash of holiday color, or accesorize properly in shiny and jewel tones. shooz can also save some time. sorry, just thinking aloud. well, off to the showers. you bats have a loverly time this evening.

Man, I'm glad I'm not this kid:
Eleven people were left homeless Friday night after a child, playing with a butane lighter, ignited a Christmas tree that set fire to a South Vallejo home...
The two-alarm fire began shortly before 10 p.m. Friday. After the child set fire to the tree in the upper floor of the three-unit structure, and he was unable to put it out, he alerted the rest of the family and firefighters were called...
I'll bet that conversation wasn't as calm and civilized as it's presented here...
It would be better for him if he did not show up here anymore.

It sure sounds like he did. But would it kill you to wait until you hear his side, if he cares to bare it all teh way you seem to love to do? That is, if he chooses to post it here. This all sounds highly personal. And while if what you say hapopened to you really happened Vicki, I'm sorry it did, then at the same time, don't post any more of that crap about not kissing and telling, because you are laying your problems out there for all.
And hoping that they all jump on your side. And they all might be right. But whem you are asking people to stand by you in something that happened between two people, I don't think it right.
Sorry, just my opinion.
