"State Ecology expects full house for meeting on oil-by-rail safety Thursday evening in Olympia"
"Environmentalists hope to pack a public meeting on oil-by-rail safety Thursday evening in Olympia. The Department of Ecology is asking for comment about its draft study of spill risks related to the fast-growing practice of shipping oil by rail
Ecology's risk study, which the Legislature authorized and Gov. Jay Inslee accelerated by issuing an executive order, was released Oct. 1 in draft form."
"The event starts with an open house at 5 p.m. [at the Red Lion hotel] that includes information booths staffed by experts in marine, rail and spill response. A presentation by DOE will start at 6, and the public can comment starting at 6:30," quoting Brad Shannon in The Olympian.

Yelm City Council applicant Preston Collins went on the record tonight during the pubic comment period questioning the Council's selection and notification process [said he was not notified his application had been received. Mayor responded this is not a city procedure.]
This was AFTER the tie-breaking vote recipient Jennifer Littlefield was sworn into the City Council's position 4. Mayor Harding's comments & Mayor Pro-tem Isom's bristling remarks in response were aimed primarily at the Nisqually Valley News (NVN) for two things:
1. They claimed the NVN showed no interest in asking for (nor publishing) the names of the 7 City Council applicants for the then-open seat,
2. Isom claimed the NVN showed no interest in the vacant Council position and only picked-up the news of the council opening off a blog.
Isom's reference is the NVN coverage of this blog's conflict-of-interest reference to Mayor Harding's tie-breaking vote.
In responding to Collins, Isom directed his anger at this blog and the NVN, which was misplaced, as Collins was not referring to this blog's entry on the mayor's tie-breaking conflict-of interest vote, rather he questioned the selection & notification process in choosing a Council candidate, which are 2 different things.
This is a convenient ploy to deflect a situation - respond to a different subject!
That Isom was so defensive that his integrity and that of the council's was questioned, was very revealing - that a nerve has been struck with this on-the-record statement by a Council candidate last night.
Stay tuned for more.
"A grand opening ceremony is set for Wednesday to christen a 600-space parking garage at the Nisqually Red Wind Casino.
A public reception is set for 10 a.m., followed by the grand opening ceremony at 11 a.m.," quoting The Olympian.

"On Climate Disruption, Washington Governor Inslee Vows 'Disruptive Change'"
"Inslee understands how deep the crisis of anthropogenic climate disruption (ACD) runs.
'We know that two of the most challenging threats we face to our environment are climate change and ocean acidification,' Inslee said just after being elected governor of his home state in January 2013. He promised 'disruptive change' to the way his state operated, and his actions have followed suit.
In September 2014, Inslee told a gathering of climate researchers at the University of Washington that Americans who remained neutral or indifferent on the subject of ACD were just as guilty as ACD deniers. During the conference, Inslee cited numerous studies that revealed the depths of ACD's impacts on oceans, birds and human health, and went on to say that no one can remain on the sidelines any longer," by Dahr Jamail, Truthout.

With the community in an uproar over Mayor Harding's side-stepping a conflict-of-interest issue in this week's Nisqually Valley News story, listing me as the only person rallying this call as the mayor's "nemesis," if reporter Wyble would have had the courtesy to interview me directly, he would have been given the facts that others highlighted Mayor Harding's previous conflicts of interest:
- Wyble's former boss, then-Nisqually Valley News (NVN) Publisher/Editor Keven Graves said this in his June 18, 2010 Op-Ed titled "Should the mayor be serving two masters?" when Harding was both mayor and Chamber President:
"I believe the 'perception' of a conflict of interest can be every bit as damaging as a genuine conflict of interest."
- Graves also raised this issue in 2011 when Harding served as Mayor of Yelm and President of the Yelm Area Chamber of Commerce, while also on the city's Transportation Committee. That committee recommended naming a city street 'Walmart Boulevard' adjacent Yelm's Wal-Mart superstore, also a Yelm Camber of Commerce member and another instance where Harding should have recused himself from involvement.
- Harding was told by the State Auditor's office in 2013 that he should have "bent over backwards" to prevent any and all appearances of a conflict of interest when a Yelm Chamber of Commerce electronic reader board was placed on city property. Again, Mr. Graves said Harding could 'grease the skids' for the Chamber over other applicants.
- In January 2013, Harding filed to be interim County Auditor for a then-recently vacated position. The day prior to the County Commissioners decision, Harding withdrew his name. The Commissioners chose Deputy County Auditor & Rep. Gary Alexander, who then selected Harding as his deputy replacement. Mr. Harding kept his Yelm mayoral position and along with his boss Rep. Alexander, they were getting two taxpayer funded paychecks. While legal, there were calls from a large cross-section of the community that Harding had County decisions and oversight involving the City of Yelm, therefore a conflict of interest. He became known as half of the team known as the Double-Dippers.
Op-Ed from the Organic Consumers Association:
"In 2011, we wrote an article exposing the then-popular trend in food marketing—promoting "local" foods as "sustainable," "healthy" or "natural," even when they weren't.
As we wrote at the time, "local" often means nothing more than food that has been sourced from within a prescribed geographic area. (According to Walmart and Big Food, "local" refers to anything produced within a 400-mile radius). But because a growing number of conscientious consumers actively seek out the "local" label—and are willing to pay a premium for it—corporations routinely co-opt the term so they can sell more product, at higher prices, in order to increase profit margins by promising (but not actually delivering) added value.
Fast forward a couple of years, and we see that sales of "local" food are still on the rise, as are sales of "natural" and more recently, "Non-GMO" foods. And today, just as they were a few years ago, consumers are still being duped by corporations that use these labels to pass off products as something they aren't," quoting Ronnie Cummins and Katherine Paul, Organic Consumers Association.

United Airlines fights legal battle with Untied website
Jeremy Cooperstock, a McGill professor, has run a gripe site for United Airlines passengers for 15 years. Now he faces a lawsuit asking for changes.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Jeremy Cooperstock was a University of Toronto student when he flew to Japan on United Airlines in 1996. After experiencing a few minor problems, he wrote a polite letter to the airline's head office.
His first letter was ignored. His second attracted a boilerplate reply.
So, he started posting United Airline complaints at his U. of T. home page. The company wrote to the university about copyright infringement, forcing him to take everything down.
"Then, people kept asking me what happened and a former airline pilot cut me a cheque to put up Untied.com. It provides a forum where passengers and employees can share their stories," he says.
Now a McGill University engineering professor, Cooperstock covers his website costs with advertising links and puts in many hours of unpaid time. This week, he's raising money to fight another legal battle.
The airline, known as United Continental Holdings after a 2010 merger with Continental Airlines, has filed two lawsuits in Canadian courts against the website's founder.
Why sue Cooperstock after tolerating him for 15 years? The gripe website has been online almost as long as the airline's own website.
Megan McCarthy, an airline spokeswoman, told Star reporter Vanessa Lu that Untied so closely mimics United's website that it's led to confusion with some customers.
"Our request is not that the website be shut down, but that it be modified," she said.
"We actually approached Mr. Cooperstock several times with this request and tried to resolve it by working directly with him. But he declined and that really left us with no option but to seek relief."
The airline is challenging the use of its intellectual property (such as logos) and the publishing of senior employees' names and contact information.
The case has gained widespread publicity and sent a chill down the backs of many gripe site owners. You can find a list at Webgripesites.com.
Cooperstock says the airline's demands are unreasonable. He accuses United of using the lawsuits to strain his finances and force him to quit operating.
"I'm starting to gain traction. I'm getting more emails from passengers who are taking the steps I mention," he says.
A redesign last year, he admits, did make his site similar to the airline's site. To avoid confusion, he's installed a pop-up message to make visitors check a box to say they understand they're not at the airline's website.
"This site exists only because of the airline's outright hostility toward its passengers and many of its employees," says the pop-up.
Untied.com has 25,000 complaints from passengers and 200 complaints from employees in its archive.
In its lawsuits in the federal court of Canada and superior court of Quebec, United says it has been providing airline-related services in Canada for over 70 years.
It talks about the confusion that can arise when customers submit complaints through Untied.com and find they don't go through the right channels.
In one case, a customer filed a lawsuit in a Maryland court against United — but referred to his correspondence with Untied.com in the documents.
United says the number of complaints submitted to Untied.com has jumped to 800 a month in recent months, up from 200 a month last March.
The traffic is increasing because the airline's service is deteriorating after the Continental merger, Cooperstock says. Why isn't United investing in service instead of hiring lawyers to stifle online criticism?
In 2009, Canadian musician Dave Carroll fought the airline with his YouTube sensation, United Breaks Guitars. He didn't win compensation, but he won the hearts of frustrated consumers around the world.
United may succeed in court, but its reputation will take another beating.

I bought this swimming suit for my daughter for her swimming team daily practice. The color and price are great. But the suit quality is not very good. When I received it, the back of the black strap fabric was broken. After she wore 6 weeks, the string on the black strap got loose and the color started to fade. I hope Waterpro can provide better quality swimming suit in the future.
Loving it so far

I just received this swimsuit in the mail today and it fits great!!! It's nice and comfortable, plus money was saved. I'm not sure how it will hold up against time and swimming but I'm in love. I definitely will post another review after a while telling how its held up. :-)
from Cedar Falls, IA
on 3/5/2014
When I saw this suit, it had everything I wanted: bright color, modest butt, not expensive. It arrived that way too. I am a club swimmer, and after only a couple weeks, ALL the color was GONE! It is so faded and ugly. Also, the fabric over the butt began to sag, and the inner lining became bigger than the outer, so I would have black fabric hanging out the top. NOT ATTRACTIVE. This might work if you don't wear it a whole lot, but not made for heavy usage.
very nice!

Better than Speedo or Tyr

I became a Waterpro fan by accident after I bought a suit on sale over 2 years ago. They last for a long time. I am a size 12-14 woman, and I find the Waterpro suits fit me better than Speedo or Tyr. I get bored wearing the same suit, the varied colors and great price allows me to wear a different suit every time I hit the pool to swim laps or attend water aerobics class. Highly recommend.
Exceptional suit for the price.
from California
on 9/24/2013
Love this suit! It fits perfectly to my size. Colors are beautiful, and so far it is holding up well to the wear and tear of frequent lap swimming. We'll have to see over the course of the year if it lasts. But for the price, I am very happy.
The Swimmer

The design is very cute and stylish. Unfortunately, I swim 16 hours a week and wanted to try out this company. It completely lost it's bright blue after 2 weeks of training. The pricing is great but I think that I should stick with Speedo.

fits great, feels true to size. Color faded pretty fast, which was sad because I liked the bright colors. Also the stitching came undone on one of the straps, they don't hold up very well.
Nice snug fit.

Truth is white
False is black.
And what is happiness
If it is sister-in-law *.
It is like that
Luxury and diseases
Go and sleep
If you drag yourself
You are in dark.
Don't attach
Truth with false
It is not possible
There is no match.

Marianne Moore
He "Digesteth Harde Yron"
Although the aepyornis
or roc that lived in Madagascar, and
the moa are extinct,
the camel-sparrow, linked
with them in size--the large sparrow
Xenophon saw walking by a stream--was and is
a symbol of justice.
This bird watches his chicks with
a maternal concentration-and he's
been mothering the eggs
at night six weeks--his legs
their only weapon of defense.
He is swifter than a horse; he has a foot hard
as a hoof; the leopard
is not more suspicious.How
could he, prized for plumes and eggs and young
used even as a riding-beast, respect men
hiding actor-like in ostrich skins, with the right hand
making the neck move as if alive
and from a bag the left hand strewing grain, that ostriches
might be decoyed and killed!Yes, this is he
whose plume was anciently
the plume of justice; he
whose comic duckling head on its
great neck revolves with compass-needle nervousness
when he stands guard,
in S-like foragings as he is
preening the down on his leaden-skinned back.
The egg piously shown
as Leda's very own
from which Castor and Pollux hatched,
was an ostrich-egg.And what could have been more fit
for the Chinese lawn it
grazed on as a gift to an
emperor who admired strange birds, than this
one, who builds his mud-made
nest in dust yet will wade
in lake or sea till only the head shows.
. . . . . . .
Six hundred ostrich-brains served
at one banquet, the ostrich-plume-tipped tent
and desert spear, jewel-
gorgeous ugly egg-shell
goblets, eight pairs of ostriches
in harness, dramatize a meaning
always missed by the externalist.
The power of the visible
is the invisible; as even where
no tree of freedom grows,
so-called brute courage knows.
Heroism is exhausting, yet
it contradicts a greed that did not wisely spare
the harmless solitaire
or great auk in its grandeur;
unsolicitude having swallowed up
all giant birds but an alert gargantuan
little-winged, magnificently speedy running-bird.
This one remaining rebel
is the sparrow-camel.

Michael Schumacher's management refutes claim that 'he is breathing on his own'
Michael Schumacher's management have refuted reports in an Italian newspaper that the former Formula One racer is breathing independently for the first time since his fatal skiing accident on December 29.In a state of induced coma in hospital in the French town of Grenoble, Schumacher's condition has not seen any improvement over the last few weeks.

Software Engineer In Test InterviewApplication Details
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2+ months – interviewed at Google in September 2014.Interview Details
I was initially contacted by a recruiter via email. I replied and we set up a phone call. The recruiter was pushing me towards a Software Engineer in Test role, even though that's not what I currently do - in hindsight I think that was probably a major reason why I didn't get an offer.
Throughout the recruitment experience I kept getting handed off from one recruiter to the next - I think in total there were 5 different people I had to deal with before the interview. It all seemed very disorganized.
One of the recruiters set up a phone screen with an engineer which I passed without issues - there weren't really any challenging questions.
For the onsite interview they were trying to make me travel to Mountain View but I wasn't interested in that so they eventually set up an interview in Seattle for me. The interview was a whole day, I think it was 5 or 6 technical interviews each lasting 45 minutes, and a lunch break with an employee who they claim doesn't submit any feedback. When I first arrived there in the morning the receptionist had a list of people interviewing that day but I wasn't on that list - further disorganization. She eventually worked out who was supposed to meet me.
After the interview I didn't receive any communication from Google for 2 weeks so I decided to email one of the many recruiters and ask if there was any updated. They told me the engineers were busy with peer reviews at the moment so not all feedback was in yet. Another 2.5 weeks went by and I finally got an email that the recruiter wanted to set up a phone call. He called me the next day to inform me that I hadn't passed the interview which I was quite surprised by.Interview Questions

- Had to sign an NDA so won't break that here. Overall there wasn't anything too challenging, I've come across more difficult questions in interviews. The more difficult ones were open ended questions about how to test a google service. Answer Question

I previously interviewed at Google and was denied an offer. I was contacted about a year later by a recruiter who believed she found a role that fit me better. We skipped the phone interview, and went straight to a 3 person on site interview. I was given an offer about two weeks later.
When they found that I had a competing offer, the recruiter starting pushing very hard for me to join. This included everything from giving me more money, having me talk to people, and even bashing the other company.Interview Questions

I had a phone screen and then an on-site interview, which consisted of 5 1:1 technical interviews. Google tends to avoid behavioral questions and focuses mostly on coding and past project work. Getting through the hiring committee, team alignment, and SVP approval, which is all needed to generate the actual offer, takes a while, which can be problematic if you get a competing offer in the interim.Interview Questions

Software Engineer In Test InterviewApplication Details
I applied through college or university. The process took 7+ months – interviewed at Google in May 2014.Interview Details
In October 2013, I attended a conference in Baltimore and I left my resume and contact information at the booth of Google during a career fair.
I received an email in April 2014 from an HR in which she asked me for an informal interview/conversation over the phone. Since I'm still pursuing my B.S., the interview process will consist of a technical interview over the phone and an onsite interview if I was successful during the first round. In my conversation with the HR, we just went through all my academic background and we agreed on a date for the following technical interview.
I had the technical interview on May 15, 2014 and it consisted on two programming questions using bit manipulation. I got to choose the programming language to use on that interview and I chose C since I have been working with it lately. However, I was fully aware that I was not knowledgeable enough with the programming language and although I tried to prepare as best as I could, I knew that my performance was going to be far from stellar.
I managed to give decent responses for the problems, although in my second question I did not get a correct implementation. We were trying to use a Google doc to write down the question and for me, to code the answer. However, for some reason, the Google doc was extremely slow and sometimes wouldn't update at all. I tried to code my answers over a simple text editor and then paste them to the Google doc but at the end the interviewer and I gave up and I emailed my coding answers to my HR contact instead.
A week later, I received a call from the HR with some feedback about the interview and unfortunately, I didn't make it to the second round. Overall it was a good experience and my very first technical interview. It gave me more insight into what I need to focus whenever I have opportunities like these in the future. It was a very good learning experience and both my HR contact and interviewer where very nice, professional, and detail-oriented in their attention.Interview Questions

Samsung Galaxy S5 Prime Appear a Killer in Perfect Gold Hues to Take Away iPhone 6 Orders
- Order Reprints
- Text Size
By Precious Silva | June 24, 2014 11:05 AM EST
Samsung Galaxy S5 Prime will compete in the higher end market similar to Apple's target all throughout the years. According to reports, the Galaxy S5 Prime will come with a variety of gold hues including killer features that can challenge the upcoming iPhone 6. Reportedly running on Qualcomm's 805 and offering better LTE connectivity and resolution, can the Galaxy S5 Prime be a contender against Apple's much anticipated handset?
The new Samsung Galaxy S5 smartphone (L), Gear 2 smartwatch (C) and Gear Fit fitness band are displayed at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona February 23, 2014.
A series of leaked photos of the Samsung Galaxy S5 Prime showed up hinting at a number of gold variations to come. Notorius tipser @evleaks published a number of photos showcasing the S5 Prime device in "perfect golden hue" and "glowing gold" editions. According to @evleaks, the glowing gold variant is different from the "perfect golden hue" edition giving people a number of gold S5 Prime options.
The Galaxy S5 Prime has been making waves especially following Samsung's release of the flagship S5 and reports about Apple's iPhone 6. More importantly, a Samsung Galaxy S5 LTE-A variant came out in South Korea blowing the specs of the original flagship out of the water. Many consider the handset as a preview of what Samsung wants to do with its higher end devices. The Galaxy S5 Prime or the Galaxy F series will reportedly be the offering high end specs targeting a similar market as Apple has been throughout the years.
According to Ecumenical News, the Galaxy S5 Prime will come with the following features: Snapdragon 805 quad-processor, 2560x1440 display and 5.2-inch screen. According to Guru Focus, should Samsung come up with device then it can offer higher pixel density than previous Samsung phones but with a higher price.
It will be expensive to develop the reported specs of the Prime series. For instance, the Samsung Galaxy S5 device offered improved specs and for around $100 cheaper than the starting price of the Galaxty S4. However, if Samsung wants to maintain its margin then it will have to increase the price of the upcoming S5 Prime or cut back on the features.
It also boils down to whether Apple should be worried with a more aggressive handset from Samsung. If there is one thing Apple has done excellently throughout the years is maintain its price range and premium features without sacrificing as much of the market share. The company continues to sell iPhones. According to Raymond James analyst Tavic McCourt, Apple seemed immune to the price consideration affecting many handsets. Despite the possible $100 premium on the bigger iPhone 6, the market appears undeterred. According to McCourt: "Apple will likely charge a $100 premium for the 5.5 inch version that media reports have suggested will be available a few months after the 4.7 inch version."
"Our June consumer survey points to continued growth in the willingness of iPhone users to pay $100 more for a bigger screened iPhone, with now a full one-third of survey respondents willing to pay a $100 premium," he added.
Analysts believe if Samsung can come up with a high end phone and improve its ecosystem then it can address the gap between Android and Apple's iOS ecosystem possibly giving Apple's iPhone series a run for its money.

He was the storyteller, grandfather, kind-hearted listener and more.
Staff and students at Oakville's Rotherglen School are mourning the loss of beloved teacher Don Otto, 78, who died suddenly on Dec. 6.
Otto's career in education spanned more than 50 years including a decade teaching the students of Rotherglen.
Students at the school described Otto, who served as a substitute teacher even after his retirement, as the kind of teacher they hoped they would get, stating a day with him was sure to be fun.
"He was always there if you needed help. If you had a question you could ask him anything," said Mitchell Peberdy, 13.
"I'm glad I got to meet him and know him at all. He was kind of like a grandfather to me."
Many other students shared similar sentiments.
"Mr. Otto was like the best substitute teacher ever. Everyone liked having him around. He was pleasant. He always had a smile on his face," said Eric Broadfoot, 13.
"He had great stories to tell. He taught us to draw ships and stuff like that. He told us about his family and their experience during the war."
Besides teaching, Otto also headed the school's model club and would regale students with stories about the ships, planes and tanks they would piece together.
A teacher and history buff, Otto was expert at getting students interested in subjects like Vimy Ridge, the Second World War and the Titanic.
Tanya Sharma, 13, said it was strangely appropriate Otto passed away on the 70th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbour as he had taught Rotherglen's students so much about it.
One story Otto told, which seemed to be foremost in the minds of his students, was The Boy in the Striped Pajamas.
The book, written by John Boyne, is set during the Holocaust and tells the story from the point of view of an eight-year-old German boy whose father is the commandant of Auschwitz.
Lonely in the surroundings he has been moved to and naïve about what is going on there, the boy makes friends with a Jewish boy on the other side of a barbed wire fence.
The boys find they have the same birthday and are basically the same despite being born into vastly different circumstances.
"When he told us that story I almost cried at the end because it is just so sad," said Julia Castagner, 13. "I'm going to miss Mr. Otto a lot because he was a really good teacher."
Other students, like Nicole Mastantuono, 13, remember the pride Otto took in his work and the school.
"Whenever he came in to substitute he was always wearing our Rotherglen red vest and our tie… he would always wear it," she said.
"He would always tell us so many stories. He had like 300 or more stories he would tell us about life or war or about everyday things."
Rotherglen's students showed the impact Otto had on their lives by wallpapering entire sections of the school's foyer with messages and posters the day after his death.
Some of these messages called Otto a true role model, others said they would never forget the stories he told them or how he would say 'Hello' as he passed them in a hallway.
Others said he would be deeply missed and wished him a peaceful rest.
Staff at Rotherglen said as a testament to Otto's character, more than 500 people attended his funeral, including students, past and present.
"We were amazed to see how many students came back to honour him. Some of these students are in university now," said Laura Crumb, head of Rotherglen School.
"It was a really nice feeling to see that and it was a nice celebration of his life."
Crumb and assistant-head of school Patrick Lanigan remember Otto as the banjo and ukulele player, the lover of classic cars, but mostly as a man whose kindness was unparalleled.
"Everyone respected him, from parents to teachers to every student from Grade 1 all the way up to Grade 8," said Crumb.
"He just gave to everyone so they naturally gave back to him."
"If you talk to the students, the word that comes up is 'kind'. He was just one of the kindest people you'll ever know," said Lanigan.
All of these kind wishes did not go unnoticed.
"Our family wishes to thank you for the outpouring of affection and the numerous tributes afforded to our husband and father over the past ten days. We are deeply touched that at the end of a long, successful career, that he found in your school community, the gentlest of harbours," wrote Otto's family in an e-mail to Rotherglen.
"Over five hundred people attended the service; the Glen Oaks director told us the centre had never accommodated such a (large) number of people, except once before, when a celebrity had been memorialized there. Don would have been embarrassed to think of himself as a celebrity, but he would have been humbly pleased nevertheless."
