Skip to comments.Vancouver taxpayers on hook for $1-billion as most Olympic Village units unsold !
Posted on 09/08/2010 7:43:35 PM PDT by SeekAndFind
Sixty-six per cent of Vancouvers pricey Olympic Village condos remain unsold a total of 483 units at the massive False Creek development that served as athletes housing during the two-week 2010 Games.
Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson, whose city remains on the hook for more than $1.03 billion of the cost of the project, predicts it will take a full two-year term to sell the remaining units.
There is some concern were going into another [economic] dip, Robertson said last week. [But] I have full confidence in the developer and the marketing taking place.
I hope the market kicks in and they get sold. Id like to see it fill up sooner rather than later.
A spokeswoman for condo king Bob Rennie, who is handling the sales, said Tuesday a major marketing campaign will begin later this month for the unsold units.
Incentives are yet to be determined, but they could include things like free washers and dryers, she told The Province.
The suites, which are priced anywhere from $400,000 to $5 million each, have been subject to the HST since July.
Although Vancouver made 120 rental units available for workers such as police officers, firefighters and nurses, only 61 were taken as of June [no up-to-date figures were provided by the city or Rennie]. Nevertheless, Robertson said he expects that to change.
Many more people are applying for spots than are available, he told reporters last week.
The citys investment in the project includes a $750-million loan plus undisclosed interest payments, $120 million still owed to the city for the land and a $110-million outlay for 252 affordable housing units.
Today, six months after the 2010 Olympic Games, the village resembles a ghost town.
Walking down the empty streets last Saturday afternoon, it was hard to find anyone actually living in the $1.2-billion former Olympic Village.
Even the security guards conceded theres not much to do at the showcase Millennium Water development, where only 254 condos have been sold.
Its weird, said Heather Eddy, who recently moved into a rental unit at West 1st and Columbia. Its almost living in a futuristic police state. All you see is police cars driving around and people on bicycles.
Eddy, a 24-year-old pastry chef, said she believes the village was opened too early.
Its very much like a ghost town, she added. Im scared to walk down the streets at night.
Near the renovated Salt Building, Mitch Williams described himself as a lookie loo checking out the views.
This place is spooky, said Williams, a 41-year-old telecom worker from Port Moody. Its like a sci-fi movie. I dont see any patio furniture and theres nothing on the balconies.
The Millennium complex totals 1,108 units made up of condos, rental units and affordable housing, but its new, $36-million, 45,000-square-foot community centre seemed almost deserted Saturday, with just a handful of people inside its enormous gym.
Cuong Tran and Lisa Nguyen said theyre enjoying living in their two-bedroom condo, which they bought in May 2008, well before the Olympics and the economic meltdown.
They just wish there were more people living there.
It was empty but its getting fuller now, said Nguyen, 23. I know its going to take a little while.
Meanwhile, lawyer Bryan Baynham said she has 11 clients who want to get deposits back on 13 suites in the village.
Vancouver Coun. Geoff Meggs said the city is trying its best to maximize the return on taxpayers massive pre-Olympics bailout of the project.
Its too early to say how weve succeeded, and a lot depends on the pace of sales, he said. It shouldnt come as a shock to anybody that the risk remains.
I have no doubt that, down the road, this will be seen as a successful project but were in strange economic times.
The City of Vancouver is owed $170 million for the land on which the Olympic Village sits.
The city holds a $750-million loan for the village and is currenty paying interest on the loan.
The citys affordable-housing component of the project cost $110 million, $45 million over budget.
Total: $1.03 billion
254 condos sold so far.
483 condos remaining to be sold.
61 units being rented (as of June).
Another 58 units available for rent.
252 affordable-housing units available.
Total: 1,108 units
Are they asking too much for the properties? I don't like seeing a project like this go belly up, but the market-place needs to work. Best to get those units filled ASAP, before the area melts down and becomes a total loss.
How about this;
Millennium Under Water at False Creek, come and experience living Retro-poor; which like most of Olympic spending and expense are a waste.
If you value your money and lifestyle, never, ever let the Olympics come to your city. I first learned that from family in Montreal. They're STILL paying for the 1976 games.
What made them think that a city the size of Vancouver (578,000 in the city proper, 2.1 million including the outlying areas) could sell ELEVEN HUNDRED luxury condos?
Although Vancouver made 120 rental units available for workers such as police officers, firefighters and nurses, only 61 were taken as of June [no up-to-date figures were provided by the city or Rennie]. Nevertheless, Robertson said he expects that to change.

Translation: Soon to become the projects.
Vancouver is the most dangerous Asian city outside of Asia.
Yeah, if I was looking at $5,000,000 condos, I'd only take one with a free washer and dryer.
Drat. If only the Chicago got the Olympics, then they could have $1 billion in unsold real estate.
RE: Vancouver is the most dangerous Asian city outside of Asia.
See here for instance :
DEPENDS upon WHERE in Vancouver.....at least when we lived there for 18 months (On False Creek)....there were good parts and bad parts.....but, there are cities in the US I'd not want to hang out in or walk thru, either.
I don't know of any city that has come out ahead being an Olympic host city.
"Do you or anybody else know whether an Olympic has actually :
1) Made money for a city
2) All the infrastructure put in place for the games have been put to good use after the affair was over."
Salt Lake City made money and certainly has a running train system that will take you to parts of the city. I took the rail to interview at the Unviersity of Utah Hospital.
An increasing number of US cities are taking that stance with professional sports teams; it is not worth it in the long run. Before, people looked at it as a sign that a city had "arrived"; now they see it as a feeble attempt to bolster a sagging economy. The Yankees, Giants/Jets, and Cowboys are all having a tough time filling their brand-new stadiums.
RE: I dont know of any city that has come out ahead being an Olympic host city.
I found one Olympic host city that actually came out with a profit. It's LOS ANGELES in 1984 under the management of Peter Ueberroth.
See here :
Under the heading : The 1984 Olympics
"For five years Ueberroth served as the organizer of the 1984 Summer Olympics held in Los Angeles. He was a prominent figure in the games, receiving the Olympic Order in gold at its conclusion. Due to the success of the games, he was named Time magazine's Man of the Year in 1984. Under Ueberroth's leadership and management, the first privately financed Olympic Games resulted in a surplus of nearly $250 million. This was subsequently used to support youth and sports activities throughout the United States."
We just came back from a five day trip to Vancouver to visit our daughter. We've never seen so much high-priced real estate! The number of million dollar homes in regular neighborhoods is just astounding. The Globe & Mail says that the big six cities in Canada are having a real estate bubble just like the US did. Looks like a big crash may be in the works.
The city of Vancouver is nothing but residential high rises — there are almost NO commercial skyscrapers and you don't see any industrial parks around the city. It's weird because it appears that the city is based on nothing but tourism, retail, some natural resources, some banking and finance and, I hear, some growing Internet firms. It is hard to figure out where all the jobs are to support the number of people living there.
Last weekend, I walked down Hastings between Chinatown and Gas Town. My God, was that a horrible experience! I've never seen so many wretched people in one place.
They are not even new units as they've already been lived in.
HA...that IS one of the worst places in Vancouver.....I lived not far from that....across the street from the big globe....in a condo, on the 8th floor....on one side was "Good" Vancouver....on the other was "Bad" Vancouver...
Yep, Salt Lake City made 101-million. There have been a few. Barcelona and Sydney claimed to have broken even, but those were just the committeees. Overall, they cost money.
The team is...mediocre, but they drive lots of cash into the economy.
RE: Hastings between Chinatown and Gastown
I've been to Vancouver several times ( friends and family live in Richmond ). But I'll talk about the above place...
The Downtown Eastside of Vancouver continues to be an area where street smarts are required, but by and large the ongoing gentrification of the area has tamed it's most outstanding problems.
Property crimes have dropped, as well as violent crime. The area is now quite habitable and is in fact the best neighborhood in the city.
For tourists wanting to party the Vancouver way, Gastown is it. The bridge and tunnel paradises of Granville street and Yaletown can't compare. Come on down, no need to fear, just remember to keep your city wits about you.
I've been to the immediate area and I often have problems with the street animals, but I'm used to it and have learned to cope with it by developing "Street Smarts".
Yes, the Downtown Eastside is hell. Vancouver has a higher crime rate than New York city these days (Take this from a New Yorker), so if you feel like a big confident smart ass, please consider that fact first. Never park a car in the area, you are better off to park far away and walk in or take a cab. It's as simple as that. Your car will be broken into.
Although I would say that generally you will be OK during daylight hours, although scared, you should NEVER walk along or use a street that Crosses Hastings between Cambie and Main, after dark.
'Nuff said.
Bruno Gerussi is sorely missed.
I took a look at their web site. The smallest units are 574 ft^2. The article said units started at 400k, so I would say they are charging WAY TOOOOO MUCH!
That's it!! A sci-fi movie.
There's precedent. "Logan's Run" was largely filmed in a just-completed shopping mall.
"Conquest of the Planet of the Apes" was largely filmed in the brand new Century City office complex.
Perhaps a remake of "The Prisoner"?
I was there recently and it wasn't great - but many streets in San Francisco are a lot worse.
Yeah, if they'd just throw in a free microwave as well, that would really seal the deal.
Whatever the relevant financial factors in this situation may be, it seems clear that there was a major irony perception deficiency among the planners... /g
Yeah, I really want to buy a $10 beer and a $5 hot dog to support this crap. No way I could afford the ticket and parking.
I heard a report on ESPN this weekend about how blackouts were a real possibility this year at some (unnamed) stadiums in big markets because they haven't sold out the games.
"I heard a report on ESPN this weekend about how blackouts were a real possibility this year at some (unnamed) stadiums in big markets because they havent sold out the games."
Anyone else feel the entire, increasingly expensive pro sports construct, is a gigantic house of cards about to come tumbling down?
I know someone who bought a condo in Park City during the glut after the 2004 Olympics. Even in the current market, it's worth twice what they paid for it.
Sounds like it doesn't it, unless it's Manhattan.
Understood; I'm sure there are others as well. Often the ones that don't want the teams are ones that have been burned by them in the past. The reality is that they're not the greatest jobs being created, and the way cities have sold their souls with incentives has them scratching their heads five years later wondering why they ever did it. I live within a few miles of Giants/Jets stadium, and the new Red Bulls (soccer) stadium, the Continental Arena, and the Prudential Center, and I have to tell you the area really doesn't benefit from having them there. 2 of them are actively competing with each other (the Arena and the Pru Center, which really wasn't needed at all but was a way for politicians and companies to pretend they care about black people in Newark); there is simply not enough business for both of them, and even after the Pru Center poached the NJ Devils they still can't get people to stay in Newark after dark. They tried to strongarm the Nets into playing in Newark, but I think they've been unsuccessful so far. They initially provide some benefit as far as costs of municipal services, but that doesn't last.
The north Jersey venues aren't for families or individuals; they are now designed for corporate sponsorship with more boxes, restaurants, etc. They are priced beyond the average person in the area (see the Giants & Jets both having a hard time selling season tickets, when in the past at least the Giants had a waiting list of more than 10 years); the only individuals they want buying tickets are foreign tourists from NYC. When the brand-new mall next to the new stadium failed to open on time (and still hasn't), the politicians admitted it was for "foreign tourists'" shopping; the only Americans in there would be to work the registers, clean the bathrooms, gurad the parking lot, etc.
The same reason the Whalers left Hartford. The criminal element in both cities killed them
Look at Columbus. A bad team, but still makes money for the Arena District
I didn't know that about Hartford; I remember seeing them play the Devils years ago. The Devils had a hard enough time selling tickets in their old arena, but it was accessible and safe (when they won the Stanley Cup their "parade" was literally in the arena parking lot because they weren't close to any city; when the Rangers won they got a parade down Fifth Avenue). NJ has this mentality that if they force people onto mass transit, they'll just go along with it, but it has never worked out like that. They certainly weren't going to be waiting for a train in Newark at night.

On this great Ruby on Rails screencast, every time a shortcut combination is pressed it shows up on top of the screen, and it shows up so often that I find it hard to believe it was placed by hand when editing the movie. Is there any application that does this?
Not sure which specific screencast you're speaking of, but they may be using Keycastr.
For the sake of completeness: Boinx Software's Mouseposé does this (and a lot more) as well ($17).

Could Chromium Picolinate Cause Cancer?
Dec. 11, 2001 -- A popular nutritional supplement, chromium picolinate, has been touted as a fix for weight loss and muscle growth, a potion to help you lose body fat.
But there's preliminary evidence that chromium picolinate causes severe damage to chromosomes in hamsters' ovary cells. A new study builds on earlier findings that hamster cells grown in a laboratory -- when exposed to chromium picolinate -- develop mutations in the cells' DNA.
But one chromium manufacturer says it has conducted extensive human tests. "Chromium picolinate has been shown completely safe," says James Komorowski, MS, director of research and development at Nutrition 21 in Purchase, N.Y. Nutrition 21 is the leading developer and marketer of chromium-based nutritional supplements.
The substance, which has been on the market for 10 years, has also been tested and found safe by the USDA, he tells WebMD.
The FDA considers chromium picolinate a nutritional supplement and therefore does not regulate it.
The hamster cell study, published in the journal Mutation Research, builds on studies dating to 1995, according to lead author Diane Stearns, assistant professor of biochemistry at Northern Arizona University.
"Our first study showed chromosome damage, and our second study has taken it one step further by showing that this damage leads to mutations," she says in a news release. "Mutations in certain genes may lead to cancer."
The current findings are "more indicative" of this cancer-causing potential, Stearns says. "We are currently determining the actual type of DNA damage that causes the mutations in order to better understand the relevance of our results to humans who are taking these supplements."
In her study, Stearns exposed live hamster ovary cells to high dosages chromium picolinate and found a high incidence of mutated cells.
Animal tissue studies like Stearns' "cannot be used to conclude that something causes cancer, " says Komorowski.
"There are studies that can be used to determine if a substance is toxic or not, and Nutrition 21 has done those studies, and chromium picolinate has been shown completely safe," he tells WebMD.
Stearns admits that the doses used in her study were higher than one would get from a few pills. "However the doses were within international guidelines for genotoxicity testing," she says. "Also, it is known that chromium can accumulate in the body; therefore, we caution against taking excessive doses of chromium picolinate for long periods of time."

Snowboarding the Four Mountains of Aspen/Snowmass
Aspen Mountain, Aspen Highlands, Buttermilk and Snowmass – is an experience like no other. This week, our blog team sits down with Frias Properties' reservation manager Jennifer Steele – our company's resident snowboard aficionado.
Jen began snowboarding in 1996 in New Hampshire and moved to Aspen in 1998. Below, she answers a few of our questions:
Q: Did you find it more difficult, less difficult, or about the same as people had told you?
A: "I taught myself and yes, the first few days were interesting. Catching an edge hurts! I would recommend helmet, wrist guard, and padded shorts. There is a saying that it takes 'three days' to learn."
Q: Where was the first place that you snowboarded locally?
A: "Snowmass Mountain – almost every day the first year."
Q: Have you snowboarded all four local mountain – Ajax, Buttermilk, Highlands and Snowmass?
A: "Yes."
Q: Seriously, what's so special about Aspen/Snowmass and its four ski areas?
"On the mountain, you will experience soft powder, consistent fresh snow and beautiful blue-sky days. The locals are great and everyone is here to help! Snacks and hot cider are offered at the gondola. The free bus system [RFTA] to and from locations is the best I've ever experienced. You don't need a car to get around."
Q: Give us a quick review of each one you've been to:
- Ajax – "Set up as a skiers' mountain. Tighter runs."
- Buttermilk – "Beginners mountain that holds one of the best expert terrain parks – set up for Winter X Games competitors."
- Highlands – "Locals favorite – steep and deep. Mostly blue [intermediate] to double black [expert only] runs."
- Snowmass – "Most diverse, from beginner trails to epic, steep powder runs. The most hidden treasures!"
Q: What are some of your favorite runs?
- "Rock Island"
- "The Head Wall"
- "Naked Lady"
- "And my favorite back country terrain I'll save. … You'll have to find it!"
Q: Have you done the Highland Bowl?
A: "Yes."
Q: What's the most challenging aspect of the Bowl?
A: "If you hike to the top and go skiers' right, it's the easiest route (G5 Zone). If you drop in early before reaching the top of the hike, it is steep! Don't trip."
Q: What kind of board and bindings do you use?
A: "Burton."
Q: What's your "dream board" setup? Bindings? Board? (If you had an unlimited budget!)
A: "Haven't looked into it much. I can ride anything on these mountains! Give me a sled and some rope!"
Watch Jen in action!
Q: OK, I'm a first timer. Give me three things I MUST know before even thinking about snowboarding:
- "Anyone can do it. You will get down any slope (whether butt or board), it will only make you better next time."
- "Speed is your friend. Don't panic, learn to control it. If you can stop, there is no problem in riding fast. I guess that means … learn to stop on a dime!"
- "Lean back in powder. All weight on back leg and front leg up."
- "Let your shoulders lead you. You will go where you are looking. … Don't look at the trees. Look in-between them."
Q: Where do you recommend I start out (which of our 4 local mountains is best for beginners)?
A: "Snowmass."
Q: Dude, I totally shred the pow-pow. Where's the advanced snowboarding at?
A: "Snowmass, Aspen, Aspen Highlands and Buttermilk Terrain park. All four!"
Q: Where's the best terrain park? I want to ride some rails!
A: "Buttermilk and Snowmass. Snowmass has a great beginner terrain park as well."
Q: You have two small children. How has snowboarding been coming along with your oldest daughter, Kayla?
A: "Not yet, She is 3 and we are starting her on skis. We will probably introduce her to a snowboard next year when she is 4."
Q: What other tips do you have for Moms out there when it comes to getting your little one on the slopes?
A: "Kayla learned best watching her older friends practice. Candy and stickers help too! I also had a friend teach her, because 3-year-olds don't listen to their parents."
Get more Aspen snowboard rental information to plan your shredding adventures!

Hi everyone,
My site - socialpirate.org - is all fine, apart from one thing. I want my links to show up purple, apart from the headings, which I want to stay #333.
Here's my CSS for links:

a:visited {color: #9e0dab; text-decoration: none;}
a:hover {color: #999; text-decoration: none;}
The weird thing is it shows up perfectly when I'm logged in, but you'll see when you visit the site that the h1 and h2 rules I've set aren't working.
Does anyone have any idea why this might be? And I've cleared the cache in numerous ways, don't think it would be that...
Thanks in advance!

To begin with the world of Dragon Hunters is simply gorgeous, a world of islands floating around in the sky, upon which gravity works oddly when it works at all. But this beautiful world is threatened to varying degrees by the dragons of the title, which range in degree of threat from annoying crop stealers to terrifying world devourers, thus the necessity for hunters of same.
Twenty years ago Lord Arnold lost his sight and his health trying to stop the World Gobbler's last rampage, now he impatiently and all but hopelessly awaits the return of the knights he dispatched to try and stop his pending rampage. So his fairy tale loving niece, Zoe, decides to lend a hand by sneaking out and finding some noble knights like those in her fairy tales, but what she finds are our two hapless heroes. Can a little girl's belief in them inspire a couple of two-bit, fly-by-night, down-on-their-luck dragon hunters into succeeding where a troop of noble knights failed, into stopping the most horrifying dragon this world has ever seen?Read more ›
Another thing in this movie is a great beating heart. Care is all over this picture. Most CG animated DVD movies get the job done, but there is not much to get attached to. This move is detailed even between the lines.
Forest Witaker did a great Lian Chu. His deep voice fit. This is an AWESOME movie. Not just for kids, anyone, open to it, would enjoy this movie to pieces. Absolute recommend.
We have a story of fantasy, peril, comic relief, bravery and action all set against a beautiful world where gravity has a much different outcome. The picture clarity looked amazing. There are brief blips in the motion here and there, but overall the quality turned out vivid, crisp and articulate. Reference the wide pan shots where the characters are extremely small; on the DVD they were little blips, on the Blu they were distinguishable with arms and legs.
The sound was outstanding. All five channels are used extensively, and it appears no imagination was spared on how to make these floating villages and action sequences surround you.
The special features are catered to the kids who follow stories like this with trading cards and such. The Universe of DH, Character Biography and Dragon Gallery options can be surfed through like reading a book on all the creatures and locations we just watched. The Interview With Forest Whitaker lasts less than five minutes and shows the production process of recording in studio.
I have not watched the original series, but I hope they continue with more films of this quality and story. For the parents wondering on content, the PG rating on language is for fart stuff, the fantasy action and scary images will most likely be scary for 6 and under. But between the music, scope of pictures and action I was noticing kids younger than that loving it as it played today.
P.S. I don't think this is for the kids (as in 10 and under). A lot of the dialogue are a little bit too mature for the younger ones, and the story line will probably bore them some. When I saw this movie, I had no distractions, therefore it helped me enjoy it a bit more than I normally would.

The increasing demand for canola (Brassica napus) for both food (e.g. vegetable oil) and non-food (e.g. biofuel) applications presents significant socio-economic benefits. While genetic engineering offers great potential to speed up the process of canola improvement, such an effort relies on a good understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying seed development, fatty acid (FA) metabolism, and oil content. Applying a well-defined algorithm to a time-series gene expression dataset of B. napus during seed development, and a well selected dataset of interactions between transcription factors and their target genes, we derive a dynamic regulatory map that is able to recover many of the known aspects of these responses. Predictions made in this study are further validated through literature search, leading to potential new roles for LEC1, LEC2, WRI1, FUS3, MYB30, and ABI3 in controlling B. napus seed development and FA metabolism related genes, thus potential targets for genetic improvement of oil production.

The Magpies manager watched in dismay as, after making a positive start against the League One leaders, his team crumbled to a 5-1 defeat at Brisbane Road.
Kevin Lisbie got the hosts up and running with a first-half brace before Dean Cox, Shaun Batt and Jayden Stockley completed the rout.
Danny Haynes notched Notts' only reply on a dismal night for the league's bottom side.
Kiwomya said: "There was nothing in the game in the first 25 minutes when we were as good as Orient, but we gave away a needless free-kick and they scored.
"We then conceded another at a bad time allowing people to run off us too easily and then concede another through a lapse of concentration.
"Once we go a goal down, we look very fragile and we are always climbing mountains. We got back to 3-1 but we were still scampering forward like mad because there was still a lot of time left in the game to try and get level.
"But we were leaving holes all over the place and I'm disappointed because we've got some experienced players out there who should be leaders. There is only so much I can do from the touchline.
"Those players have got to take responsibility, we can do all the planning and talk tactics but once they cross the line, it's down to them."

text: Our Verdict The Sony remains a great choice if you want the option to upgrade to 3D For Excellent picture quality nice looks and build tons of internet content Against 3D is an optional extra surprisingly thin sound some double images in 3D Reviewed on 28th March 2011 According to our contacts at Sony, all manufacturing of TVs over 55in has stopped, presumably to make way for new models. So for now, you'll just have to make do with 55in. It's a hard life… Comparatively small in its class, this dapper set doesn't have 3D built in. Instead you have to buy the TMR-BR100 transmitter and matching glasses separately, and even after shopping around this will set you back around £200. Extra cost aside, having an extra extremity on your otherwise stylishly straight-edged TV isn't ideal, regardless of how compact it might be. And what if you also have a Wii bar or Xbox Kinect? Suddenly that space on the top of your set is looking like prime real estate. More after the break On the other hand, what it does mean is that those who don't yet want to go down the 3D route can buy a telly now and know that it can be upgraded to 3D spec whenever they're ready – and the good news is that the KDL-55NX813 is an extremely capable 2D display. The master of motion processingSony has long been the master of motion processing, and the KDL-55NX813 proves it's still the case. Other TVs are capable of rendering the slow pans of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, but only the Sony has a truly convincing grip on the complex, unpredictable, fast-paced action. The edge LED backlight proves that it's capable of producing impressive contrast levels, too, from punchy, detailed whites to deep yet revealing blacks. On top of all that, Sony's already impressive line-up of internet services was recently bolstered by the addition of Qriocity, and while we're not entirely sold on the music portion's low-quality streams, the pay-as-you-go movie service has an impressive catalogue and excellent picture and sound quality. Of course, you can also get your HD fix via the Freeview HD tuner, and images here are just as vibrant and sharp as they are with other HD sources. Standard-def channels and DVDs are impressively upscaled, too. There's very little noise, even in shoddy broadcasts, and colours successfully tread the line between vibrancy and over exposure. A new dimension in gamingIf you do decide to plump for 3D, you're likely to be very pleased. Killzone 3 (definitely the best 3D game so far) looks awesome, with the Sony dragging you into the action with the kind of detail that significantly enhances depth, which makes it easier to judge distances – and spot your lethal enemies. Again, there's impressive levels of punch, but as we've found with other TVs, the Sony suffers from a degree of crosstalk that some people will find tiring. Our only other gripe is that the KDL-55NX813 sounds a bit thin, but what really keeps the Sony at four stars is the presence of some bigger, better all-round competition from the plasma brigade..

Elmer Eugene Carter
Sep. 18, 1943
Apr. 17, 1999
Mayes County
Oklahoma, USA
*I want to personally thank everyone who visits our dear Elmer. He was very special, and was surely a character! You couldn't be sad around him - he just wouldn't allow it. He was handsome and was a bit of an ornery "rascal" in that he loved to laugh, and he loved it when others laughed with him. When he passed, he had a very thin mustache which made him look like an actor in an old Western movie. He just loved living life - regardless of the hand he had been dealt. We should all be so very blessed.*
Elmer Eugene Carter was a very special person. He had developmental delay and multiple medical problems, but that didn't slow him down. He was the absolute family favorite! Everyone cared for, and visited, Elmer - especially after he suffered the loss of his dear mother at a young age, and then the loss of his precious father later on in life.
When I was a child of about 7 or 8, I remember many times when I would accompany Elmer's father, Uncle Rob, to Elmer's group home for a visit. I would also send him little letters or cards with a couple of dollars tucked inside. I would save money from my allowance or lawn-mowing jobs, and set it aside just for Elmer - so he could have a couple of dollars to spend when his group went bowling or shopping at WalMart.
Elmer loved to receive visits from family members; and his loving aunts tried to visit him at his group home every Sunday afternoon! He absolutely loved to talk about cars (especially Mustangs) - though he would never even be allowed to drive one.
On his arrival at a family gathering, there would always be a murmur of "Elmer's here!" that would make its way through the crowd, and everyone would rush over to greet him and catch up on what was happening in his life.
He had another cousin who was in law enforcement; and to Elmer, that was the ultimate job! Somewhere along the line, Elmer was granted the rank of "sheriff"; and he loved every minute of his "job". He was given a pair of (locked) handcuffs which he very proudly attached to his wheelchair; and someone came up with a "badge" for him which he dearly loved to wear!
Elmer's loving aunts buried his "handcuffs" and "badge" with him; so he's probably still on the job up in Heaven! If any "bad guys" make it through the Pearly Gates, they'd better Watch Out! because Elmer's probably on patrol there, too!
You were the absolute best, Elmer! I love and miss you! Always and Forever,
**I'd like to offer a Special "Thank You" to my friend, Josey Wales, for editing the photos of Elmer. They look so much nicer! I can never thank you enough!**

Notified About
4093 Ne 33rd Ave Portland, OR 97212 - Alameda
The stretch of NE 33rd between Prescott and Fremont really needs some ways to calm the traffic down. Signage, speed-traps, traffic humps, whatever - cars are cruising through here - both dangerous and noisy.
though the speed limit says 30, cars go 40+
101 399 E Burnside St Portland, OR 97232, USA - KernsThe bike lane is still dangerous for a number of reasons (less-than-ideal curve, poor drainage, and now a rough surface where the old striping was ground off). It would be much better to widen the sidewalk and simply stripe a cycle track onto what is currently the sidewalk. Ramps could be added just like on the Hawthorne Bridge.
1207 Se Hawthorne Portland, OR 97214, USA - BuckmanLate night food court mall built of trailers and make shift structures tents and looks like a homeless village fire pits and keg parties on a regular basis. Resulting in drunk drivers playing bumper cars and alcohol infused fights, yelling matches from 11pm to 4 am daily
6936 Se Nehalem St Portland, OR - Brentwood-DarlingtonChildren, pets and pedestrians are endangered daily (especially nightly) by speeding traffic on this double-block. Speed traps or speed bumps would help considerably.
2 N Killingsworth St Portland, OR 97217 - HumboldtThis is an extremely dangerous intersection. Cars turn down the street going the wrong way several times a day. Please improve the signage so motorists know not to turn the wrong way.
Drug Dealing OpenSe 113th And E Burnside Portland, OR - HazelwoodPeople regularly pull over and park on 113th or Pine Ct, just off burnside, and this huge fat balding guy on a bike rides up and meets them. They get out of the car and walk with down the street a bit and go back to their car and leave. The bike guy rides off. These people look SKETCHY and I AM SICK OF THIS. There are a lot of little kids here and this isn't OK.
Need speed bumps ArchivedSe 159th Ave Portland, OR - CentennialPeople speed through area at close to 40 mph. even during the school year, this puts elementary school kids' lives at risk.
N. Lombard St. And N. Ida Ave. Portland, OR - Cathedral ParkThe Switch that controls the Pedestrian signal to cross N. Lombard Street--when crossing from North to South on the East side of the street--does not work. The switch is located on the Northeast corner of N. Lombard Street and N. Ida Avenue (at the corner next to the car wash/gas station). This intersection is 2 blocks from Roosevelt High School and has a substantial amount of pedestrian traffic from students.
N. Rosa Parks Way & Concord Ave Portland, OR - Arbor LodgeEven though this is a neighborhood, people speed like crazy through here. When waiting to cross the street, nobody will stop. Once I was already half-way across when somebody came speeding along, not paying attention, and came about two feet from hitting me - I had to be pulled back. They didn't even bother to slow down or stop to make sure I was okay. I'm tired of this.
Stop Sign ArchivedN. Lombard St And N Macrum Ave. Portland, OR - PortsmithThe Stop Sign has been knocked down and is laying on the ground at the intersection of N. Lombard St. and N. Macrum Ave.
4481 4635 N Greeley Ave Portland, OR - OverlookGreely Ave north bound needs to be made into single lane at the signal at Going Street. Trucks would be able to turn better and cut back on the congestion.
148th S.E. Center/Gladstone Portland, OR - Pleasant ValleyEntrance to Powell Butte Park. Drinking, drugs, women being attacked, signs being stolen, no lighting in front of park, garbage all over, dropping off there dog or cat that they don't want anymore,
parties, lude acts, drive by shootings, spinning out, running the stop signs on 148th S.E. Center/Gladstone Street. Problem time frames: Spring thru Fall. All days from the hours of late afternoon to 5:00 AM.
Have treid to call 911. They have either told me to call the non emergency number or I could get in trouble for calling 911. And, I could get arrested for calling the 911 number. And, the dispatcher talking with a rude tone.
Animal control has informed me that they only pick up dogs, not cats and that I will have to put the cat inside a box and bring the cat to the Troutdale office.

Magic Mushrooms:
Magic Mushrooms(pilocybin) were first originated in Mexico before Colombus even arrived. They were once used for spiritual reasons because those people thought that they could talk to the gods with it. Mushrooms are considered a hallocinogen which makes you seem like you see different colors and 3D effects. You inject mushrooms and they take about 5 to 10 mintues to kick in and can last several hours.
Way of Dealing and Coping:
Many people don't always know how to deal with Mushroom abuse. Some people that have extreme problems to the point where they have to be sent to rehab and different houses that take poeple in and help them recover from the addiction and help them stay away from the temptation of injecting Shrooms. You can also just talk to a friend or loved one about advice on stopping and geting help. Having Above the Influence commercials can prevent and give out information about the drug ad to stay away from it. Your school guidence counsler may also have some helpful tips about dealing with mushroom abuse. The best way of having to deal with a situation like this is to not have done the drug in the first place.
Mushrooms have many different names. The Official names are Magic Mushrooms and Psilocybin. The street names are Mushrooms, Shrooms, Caps, Liberty Caps, Silly Putty, Purple Passion, Simple Simon, Boomers, Musk, Mexican Mushrooms, Little Smoke, God's Flesh and Hippieflip.
Frequently Asked Questions:
If it's natural then is it safe? No, just because the drug is natural doesn't mean its safe for you to take. Where was it first originated? It was first found in Mexico hence one of the street names being Mexican Mushrooms. How long does the drug last? After you inject the drug and it kicks in it can last for an hour to several hours. Does it have long term effects? There no long term physical effects but there is long term mental effects that can take a toll on your emotions.
Depending on the amount of Mushrooms that you inject, namy different reactions may occur. Physical effects are not long term but may have severe reactions. Some physical effects may incude increase in heart rate, elevation in blood pressure, loss of appetite, nausea, extreme coldness, yawning, muscle relaxation, pupil dialation and swollen features. Changes in sight, audio and tactile can become noticable between 5 minutes to an hour after injection. The emotional effect of the drug mostly depends on your surroundings. If your in a bad environment then the experience might not be a very good or enjoyable one. If your in a positive environment then your most likely to have a better experience while on the drug.
More Information:
Librarys and Internet sites like Teenhealthandwellness.com are very reliable sourses for finding more information about Mushrooms and other types of drugs. They give information and advice from experts that have studied in that specific field for years. Places like the Renessance House keep people that have first on experience with that drug. By going there you can hear many stories about what the drug has done to them and how it has effected them and their loved ones. Groups and rehab centers also have people that have experienced the drug and know what its like when you inject the drup and how it also effected them.

In Eden -- a 17-unit, coastal apartment property at 600-616 Prospect St. in La Jolla 92037 -- has been sold for $8.95 million.
The buyers were Tofigh Khodapanah and Maryam Afzali, 15115 El Paso Real, La Jolla 92037. The acquisition was financed with a loan of $4.25 million from Luther Burbank Savings. Chad O'Connor, vice president for Marcus & Millichap Capital Corp (MMCC) secured the financing.
The seller of the property (assessor's parcel 350-171-01 and 02) was In Eden Properties LLC, successor by name change to In Eden Suites LLC. Macella M. Katz is the manager of In Eden.
Aaron Bove and Ben Tashakorian, vice presidents in Marcus & Millichap's San Diego office, had the exclusive listing to market the property for the seller. Dave Plutner, of DP Properties, represented the buyer. The property sales price is a record in price per unit and price per square feet for an apartment property in San Diego County, according to John Vorsheck, regional manager of Marcus & Millichap's San Diego office.
"Within three weeks of listing the property we obtained over seven offers through aggressive, collaborative marketing and then created a bidding atmosphere to achieve the record price," Bove said.
The apartment totals approximately 12,442 square feet and occupies a nearly one-third acre corner lot.

AbstractStructural state awareness can be vitally important to a wide variety of both commercial and military systems, including buildings, bridges, vehicles and advanced sensors. Equipment required to provide this telemetry has typically been large and heavy making it difficult to incorporate into the desired environment. The use of a strain and temperature sensing technique based in fiber optics can provide significant benefits for such systems including low cost and non-intrusive sensor elements. Coupled with an accurate and robust shape reconstruction algorithm, a fiber sensing system can provide the required health monitoring necessary for enhanced safety and performance of these structures. In this Phase I effort, the team of 3 Phoenix, Inc. (3Pi) and the University of California at San Diego (UCSD) propose to examine alternative interrogator architectures that simultaneously provide high reliability and rapid data acquisition; adapt, refine and evaluate a real-time shape estimation and reconstruction algorithm that takes discrete strain measurements as input; and present a comprehensive design for a fiber sensing system to remotely measure the position and orientation of tethered payloads as well as the tether structure itself.

Potential Supreme Court Decision: Who Will Bear the Coverage "Burdens?"
The Supreme Court is expected to reach a decision by the end of June, 2014 on the cases brought forth by Hobby Lobby and Conestoga Wood Specialties, two for profit corporations challenging the ACA's contraceptive coverage requirement. The plaintiffs contend that the requirement that they include coverage for certain contraceptive services (emergency contraceptive pills and intrauterine devices) in the insurance plans "substantially burdens" both the corporation's and the owners' religious rights. During the arguments, several of the justices discussed the extent to which the corporations did or not did not have a choice in offering coverage to their workers. In this brief, we explore some of the factors influencing coverage decisions and possible consequences for women and employers given possible Supreme Court decision options: either upholding the contraceptive coverage requirement, or in favor of Hobby Lobby.Issue Brief Read More

Skip to comments.Senate Republicans offer up hypothetical 2012 ballot [NRSC touts McCain, Romney, others]
Posted on 08/10/2009 11:37:12 PM PDT by rabscuttle385
WASHINGTON (CNN) The first primary contest of the 2012 election cycle is more than two years away, but some Republicans are already voting sort of.
The National Republican Senatorial Committee which assists GOP Senate candidates e-mailed a "Proxy Ballot" to some supporters on Monday asking them which Republican leader is their top choice for the Republican presidential nomination. The survey also asks Republicans to rank the importance of issues like health care, abortion rights and taxes.
(Excerpt) Read more at politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com ...
No and no.
Guess they are still not going to pull their heads out of their nether regions. Good grief. I guess a 2 X 4 is just too small these days.
The stupid party sure wants to lose another election...what a bunch of numbskulls....
Jeeez. Didn't they learn anything?
Why don't they just offer up Ron Paul and finish off the party?
Until these country club members are ousted, I'm only sending money to SPECIFIC CANDIDATES...NO ON MCCAIN, NO on
How many states have stopped their open primaries? We have to do this at the state level apparently, call your state conservative leaders if you have open primaries and tell them to get them closed.
They actually have McCain on the ballot for 2012. Please someone tell me this is a sick joke
McCain?? Romney? AGAIN?
Uh, no?
Both of those FOOLS need to just go wither away in some old folks home so they can do no further damage to either Congress or the States. Better still, a straitjacket in an asylum may be nice (i.e. Jim Carrey/Riddler/long sleeves spanking McCain)
But I think a large percent of republican are stupid...with that I will exclude most rank and file....Its the Washington republ. that are stupid...and some rank and file republicans. What else would account for Lindsey Gramnisty's reelection to the senate last year...I'd rather vote for a semi conservative democrat than Gramnisty.
yes. me too. though in that cae I'd stay home and play solitaire
I am definitely going to be contacting my state rep and sentaor about it. I don't know why independents can vote in the GOP primary but they can. In some states they let Democrats do it, which is even worse.
Sent a email to my niece that works and lives in Mississippi and ask her opinion of Barbour...She gave him a 10, low taxes, common sense policies...A conservative. That jives with my opinion of him years back when he was the the head of the Repulican party...use to listen to him destroy the dem's on T.V. shows..Calls them as he see them. sSmart, articulate and conservative...also clean.:O)
Although I usually vote Republican, I haven't been a member of their party since Hillary Care. That woman was scary..but got too disgusted with the Republicans after a couple of years....I am conservative first, Republican second.
I will be voting for Palin, period.
Same here. I will not be voting for ANY OF THE USUAL SUSPECTS EVER AGAIN. It's Palin or bust. Take your pick GOP.
Haley Barbour #1(haven't heard anything negative; he refused stimulus money, he is pro gun, enacted a "workfare" policy, balanced the budget, cut taxes, opposed racial quotas, enacted the toughest abortion laws in the country, reduced the number of meth labs,and enacted strict tort reform
Ron Paul #10(supported him last time)
This is Cornyn's baby.
He didn't lift a finger to give consequences to the three amigos in the Senate who voted for Porkulus.
Nothing. Not a warning, not taking away a committee position.
So, I'm not surprised that McCain is on his ballot.
Also note in the article it specifically claims that the NRSC sent out ballots to "some" members.
LMAO. That is almost up there with the Union thugs intimidating protesters.
Why is Jindal on this NRSC list? His parents weren't citizens when he was born here, so he's not a natural-born citizen (only a natural-born citizen is eligible for the Presidency). I don't get it.
Palin was the only good idea out of all 12 they chose to list.
The ultimate Republican Establishment guy. Apparently competent as a governor, but a mushy rollover to the Obama agenda. His objection to Obamacare? That it's moving so fast. Yech!
Are they joking?
really? I wasn't aware of this, if you wouldn't mind posting links I would really appreciate it.
Saw him quoted on it here today, I'll see if I can find it.
This is merely a fund-raising wheeze. The envelopes get opened, the checks removed, and the surveys pitched on the trash heap alongside Jimmy Swaggart's prayer requests.
Here's the FR thread based on the article today quoting Barbour on health care: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2312845/posts
Geez, I just found out he represented Mexico and NAFTA agreements.
Also, here is a video of Barbour arguing for the bank bailout(Bankers' Heist of 2008)
He looked good on the surface. Oh well, I guess it is down to Ron Paul unless DeMint decides to run.
I understand. I was a fan of his after Katrina, but I've since figured out he's a hyperpolitical rollover Republican who at first looks good because he outwardly plays to his conservative Southern state.
BTW, I'm strongly with Paul on 70% of his positions (I've got tiny government, libertarian leanings), so I understand his appeal.
I think the appeal of a Ron Paul, or someone that take his positions on the Bank Bailout, Auto Bailout, Stimulus, Income Tax, Federal Reserve(more than 70% of Americans support auditing the FED), and Amnesty for Illegals.
would be popular
I agree. He worries me on foreign affairs and comes across as too cranky and out on the fringe to actually win himself, but he's very, very right on many of his positions, I believe.
The moderates that the NRSC backs on the other hand, are more losing, Democrat-lite mush.
If you are going to vote against lobbyists or lawyers based on their clients, you are unlikely to be voting for any lawyers or lobbyists. Not that that would necessarily be a bad thing!
Except for the fact that he is surrounded by anti-semites and truthers, and the country would not survive four years of his foreign policy.
Personally, I'll take integrity, and would be very happy with Palin and Bachmann, or Palin and Malkin, or ... I don't believe Michelle Malkin would be interested, but I might be wrong, and has, of course, no management governing experience, but neither did Obama? It wouldn't hurt our chances to have two beautiful and smart women running, both with a fierce reputation for integrity..
DeMint impresses, but I find it hard to accept someone who wouldn't ask the question they all knew should have been resolved - Is Obama a natural born citizen? Neither, of course, would Bachmann, but she is extemely good with both economic issues and with the law, and has more children than Palin. I do like Imhofe for his unwavering devotion to truth in battling the global warning swindle "cap and trade".
Total ditto for me.
Seems to me the Republican party likes Socialism!!
I (write-in) vote for Fred Thompson.
i kinda tired of nobodies
****Palin was the only good idea out of all 12 they chose to list.****
I want a good explanation on why she quit the governorship before I back her for anything again.
She was one of a number of governors to step down early just this year alone—but she's the only one who's had an issue made of it because she is politically important nationally.
The Democrats were Cloward-Pivening her and Alaska to death with false ethic filings which ironically gave her the legitimate claim that she was stepping down for the good of the state. This was only possible of course because she had a simpatico lieutenant, whom she also helped by giving him a head start on the governorship.
I have much more respect for her stepping down 18 months early from her term than I do for the way Romney ran for president full-time, largely campaigning out of state for the last two years of his one term as governor of Massachusetts.
She's obviously fighting a larger fight and already got lots, including her campaign promises, accomplished for Alaska, so there's nothing quitter about her at all.
Stay out the Bushes!
Stay out the Hucakbees!
Stay out the Pawlentys!
Stay out the Romneys!
Stay way out the McCains!
Plus Palin has much explaining to do.
The RNC is stuck on stupid.
I don't think Dr. Paul is going to run again but, he would be a better choice than McQueeg or Romney. IMO.
McCain? Romney? Bush 3? Gingrich?
NRSC rally cry:
We want to lose again! We want to lose again!
Sarah Palin: No, I do not. I do not. Not total amnesty. You know, people have got to follow the rules. They've got to follow the bar, and we have got to make sure that there is equal opportunity and those who are here legally should be first in line for services being provided and those opportunities that this great country provide
It was really disturbing to learn that John McCain was running last time, and then that he had a decent chance of winning the nomination.
It's going to be infuriating if that happens again with Romney.
Closing primaries will only mean the 'rats have to declare themselves Republicans for the purpose of voting in one election. I don't see that as a major obstacle.
They'll do it and vote ABP — anyone but Palin.
Six of one, half dozen of another.

No. Freewheels that small use a smaller diameter thread intended for BMX hubs. The smallest freewheel you're going to find for that hub is a 15T. I believe ACS makes one in 15T called Claws that fits a standard hub. Cheap and it works.
No, only 16T through 22T ACS freewheels use english threading found on the all city hubs.
