That's a sentiment echoed by Matthew Roth, the coordinator for the Citywide Coalition. "Each of those groups looks to the other and says, 'Part of the problem is bikes are riding on the sidewalks,' or 'Pedestrians are jaywalking,'" he concludes. "You hear that constantly. We've spent so many years prioritizing cars that there's been very little regard for pedestrian safety. So it's people fighting over crumbs."

I am incapable of operating a television with cable and dvd. I know it's me, but \what the fuck? Maybe there's a sixth remote control needed to operate the system that's gone missing. Guess I'll read a book or surf the web.

The kitchen in Ms. Pettijohn’s new loft, in a converted cotton warehouse overlooking New York Harbor, will see plenty of food preparation, but very little cooking. Her meals — hijiki salad, barely steamed haricots verts, lots of smoothies — are constructed (or deconstructed in a blender) rather than sautéed, boiled or braised. Although the developer of this property added typical flourishes, including a set of G.E. Monogram stainless steel appliances, a kitchen island and lots of cabinet space, Ms. Pettijohn will be using little of it. She relies on knives, a blender and an array of pots for brief steaming. “My last oven I used for storage,” she said, “but I don’t need any more storage here. The microwave, well, it’s good for warming up heating pads.”
June 13, 2007 -- TOM Wolfe described himself as "surprised" and "curious" yesterday when he learned Gus Van Sant will direct a movie version of his classic 1967 book, "The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test," which chronicled a cross-country bus trip by Ken Kesey (who wrote "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest"), Neal Cassady (who inspired Jack Kerouac's "On the Road") and other LSD-fueled Merry Pranksters. Wolfe told Page Six he sold the option for the book in the early '70s for just $75,000. "I'm really interested to see what they do," he said. "The biggest problem will be the LSD trips that can be done so much better in print than on film."

Supposedly Time Warner Cable (RoadRunner) starts traffic shaping (at some times of day, in some markets, etc....) This is their response to the issue of a very small percentage of users who constantly utilize all their bandwidth (so, almost always BitTorrent clients or Newsgroup readers.) Those users (for those applications) will see their bandwidth being throttled. Attempts to get around this (by, say, running your BitTorrent client on a non-standard port, or encrypting the traffic) will be seen as a violation of the TOS.
some great tennis at the mens french open finals right now. #1 federer has split the first two sets with two time defending french open winner #2 nadal. if federer wins he will have won the last four grand slams.
Pondering the line between delicious and medicinal reminded me that some years ago a very peppery oil had inspired a brilliant biomedical hunch. That’s why I made a note to call Dr. Gary Beauchamp, the director of the Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia: to get an update on the chemistry of the olive oil cough.
At the 1999 international workshop on molecular and physical gastronomy, in the mist-shrouded mountain town of Erice, Sicily, the physicists Ugo and Beatrice Palma brought along oil freshly pressed from their own trees. Dr. Beauchamp tasted the oil and felt his throat burn, as did I and all the other attendees. But he was the only one who immediately thought of ibuprofen.
