VALENCIA — A teenage boy was seriously injured Monday when a motorist apparently ran a red light and hit him in a Lyons Avenue crosswalk, sheriff’s deputies and a witness said.
The 15-year-old was thrown about 85 feet just in front of Old Orchard Park, Deputy Roy Henstrand said. His injuries, though, did not appear to be life-threatening, sheriff’s officials said.
Witnesses said the motorist, an unnamed 72-year-old Saugus man, was heading west on Lyons at about 2:15 p.m. and drove straight through the red light at Peachland Avenue as the teen stepped about five feet into the crosswalk, Henstrand said.
The driver told investigators he had taken his eye off the road when a motorist next to him began changing lanes, Deputy Michael Perry said.
Apparently the gentleman who hit him was NOT cited, pending further investigation. What gets me here is not the fact that he is old and hit someone, but that he was not arrested. I am not for any kind of different treatment for the elderly, but when they fuck up and hurt or kill someone, they should be treated as everyone else.
This is going to lead to new rounds of debate of what to do with older drivers and the way they are treated. They should be treated no better or worse than anyone else with a drivers license. Perhaps tougher driver test for EVERYONE should be the ticket. Perhaps a very large fee (around $200-$300) would be the ticket.

Freedom
“Most American warriors subscribe to the words of John Stuart Mill: “War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.”
Supreme Court Refuses to Confirm Constitutional Right to Bear Arms
WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court disappointed gun rights groups Monday by refusing to consider whether the Constitution guarantees people a personal right to own a gun.
The court has never said if the right to “keep and bear arms” applies to individuals.

ANTI-INDIVIDUALS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA
Are you tired of hearing me talk about the war on the individual yet? Hopefully not. This is a war against you, your self worth, your individual identity, and your status in society as a sovereign entity entitled to rights and protection under our laws.
“Diversity” is the current buzz word on college campuses and corporate boardrooms. The diversity movement is an anti-individualist enterprise. It categorizes people by their group identity, not by their individual traits such as character, achievement, ability and ambition.
Next month the University of Florida is going to hold something called “People Awareness Week.” Well, that’s good, isn’t it? At last we have some college campus out there that is going to celebrate the person … the individual. That’s what “people awareness” is, isn’t it?
Nope. Sorry. The student newspaper tells us that “The goal of People Awareness Week is to encourage members of the UF
community to gain a lifelong dedication to learning about diversity. … encouraging acceptance, respect and appreciation of diversity in relation to race, gender, age, ethnicity, sexual orientation, disability, socioeconomic status and religious affiliation.”
Well isn’t that special. Not one word about individual achievement, character, competence, compassion, humanity or ambition. No. You can’t do that! Your “awareness” of other people must be based on some trait that is common to a group, not particular to an individual. Who cares what they think? Who cares what they have accomplished or what they want to do with their individual lives? All that counts is their group identity. What color are they? Do they sleep with their own sex, or do they practice heterosexuality? What socioeconomic class do they come from? What or who do they worship? What color are they?
At the University of Florida they seem to want to compel acceptance, whatever that is, on the basis of group identity. What’s wrong with acceptance based on who you are as an individual?
The war against individuality began well over 100 years ago when two men who had never held a real job in their entire lives wrote a little manifesto … back around 1848. The war picked up a bit of steam when Lenin said “All our lives we fought against exalting the individual.” Still more steam when Krushchev said “Comrades, We must abolish the cult of the individual decisively, once and for all.” The war is now moving ahead full steam. Hillary Clinton is telling us that “we must stop thinking of the individual.” Ted Kennedy is praising the “war against individualism.” A local Atlanta politician tells us that “individualism is a sin.” And diversity movements thrive virtually everywhere you look.
Just remember this. Every time you hear someone promote the diversity idea that person is telling you that individual traits and characteristics don’t count. We are being conditioned to regard people only in terms of their group identity. If we don’t start fighting back as individuals we may soon find all vestiges of our individual identities gone … including those pesky little individual rights that were supposed to be protected by our government. You know, things like property rights.
The war started by Marx and Engels over 150 years ago advances … and is picking up steam.
Farscape to return
One of my favorite TV shows (and one of the few that I actually watch) will be returning, at least for a short time. Check out this link for more info.
DesktopX and Homeseer
Awhile back there was some interested on being able to extend HS onto the desktop using DesktopX. I have begun a preliminary DX script that is working for me on a remote PC running DX to interface with HS on my main machine:
Sub Object_OnScriptEnter
End Sub
Sub Object_OnStateChange(state)
If state = “Mouse down” Then
Dim hs
Set hs = CreateObject(“Homeseer.Application”,”pctv”)
If hs.ison (“a2”) Then hs.execx10 “a2″,”off”,0 Else hs.execx10 “a2″,”on”,0
Set hs = nothing
End If
End Sub
Sub Object_OnScriptExit
End Sub
All it does right now is to turn a light on or off based on the current status. Still have a few things to add once I figure them out, such as –
Getting the status of a device from HS and storing it.
Storing the device code so that it does not have to be hard-coded into the script. Easier to clone the object and have them for several different ones.
Setting the graphic based upon device status so that it matches the device state.
If anyone has any suggestions, or feedback, I would be glad to hear it.
Skin Updates
I am in the process of uploading some of my older skins from sites around the web. You can find them from the Files, or Downloads links.
Updates
I have re-added links to my blog, as well as a couple of other local sites. The HA server is available again, as is Legend of the Green Dragon.
The Photo gallery will reopen soon, as well as various skins (mine, and some of the ports that I have done)
