City Council To Continue Hines Development Deliberations On Tuesday
Posted Jan. 31, 2014, 8:53 am
Parimal M. Rohit / Staff Writer
The fate of a controversial development agreement (DA) considered to be the largest ever in Santa Monica at 1681 26th Street and would transform a portion of Bergamot Station into combined commercial, residential, and transit neighborhood is still up the air as the City Council held off on deliberating the matter until Feb. 4.
Despite five hours of presentations and public testimony on Tuesday night, which included an estimated 120 speakers, the council decided to continue deliberating the Hines DA proposal next week in order to allow them to address the many issues raised.
Mayor Pam O'Connor announced early Wednesday morning – at 12:45 am – the Hines DA agenda item would tabled, meaning the estimated 200 people who filled City Hall for the council's Jan. 28 meeting left without knowing whether or not the project would move forward.
The presentation of Hines' proposed DA at the council's Jan. 28 meeting has been highly anticipated since it was confirmed the issue would be on the agenda. City staff, anticipating significant community input, did not place any other substantive action items on this week's agenda.
Prior to the Hines DA item, the council only deliberated its consent calendar and voted on a small number of second readings.
When the City Clerk finally called the proposed DA, City staff and the applicant – Hines 26th Street LLC – made about 90 minutes of presentations to the council, touting the project's benefits, designs, and specifications.
The remainder if the evening was dedicated to public input.
Many speakers who spoke in opposition to Hines' proposed project expressed concern over gridlock, emergency response, affordable housing, and design.
Those who spoke in favor said the proposed project would provide economic benefit to Santa Monica and could be a model for future transit-oriented projects.
One speaker told the council people might be underestimating the positive impacts the Expo Line would have on the area immediately surrounding the Hines project and Bergamot Station. Another speaker said he lived in Santa Monica since 1976 and there are definitely local residents who supported the project.
"This will be the right project for this City at the right time," he said.
On the other side of the spectrum, the question of Hines' contributions to Mayor Pam O'Connor's election campaign was brought up during public comment. City Attorney Marsha Jones Moutrie confirmed the campaign contributions were legal. However, no legal authority was cited.
Another concern: traffic and gridlock. Many speakers warned the council if Hines' proposed project is realized, it would bring more gridlock to Santa Monica. Even more, opponents claimed the proposed project would not be able to mitigate the additional traffic.
The Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) estimated the Hines project would generate more than 7,000 new daily vehicular trips in the Bergamot Station area.
Many who opposed the proposed DA cited these statistics to support their respective cases of why Hines should not be allowed to move forward with its plans. One speaker estimated Hines' proposed project could potentially impact traffic three miles away.
"Implementation of the proposed project would conflict with an applicable plan, ordinance, or policy establishing measures of effectiveness for the performance of the circulation system, taking into account all modes of transportation including mass transit and nonmotorized travel and relevant components of the circulation system, including but not limited to intersections, streets, highways, and freeways, pedestrian and bicycle paths, and mass transit," an entry in the EIR stated. "This is considered a potentially significant impact. Implementation of mitigation measures would reduce this impact, but not to a less-than-significant level. Therefore, this would be a significant and unavoidable impact."
Other concerns included potential strains on the local water supply and whether the proposed project includes sufficient affordable housing units or other community benefits.
Some questioned the proposed development's size and design. One speaker said the project's proposed design was "unimaginative."
Yet another concern: how would first responders be able to respond to emergency during rush hour traffic with potentially more gridlock than what currently exists in Santa Monica with the addition of the Hines project.
"We don't need this project," Recreation Parks Commissioner Phil Brock told the council.
Planning Commissioner Jennifer Kennedy, who spoke on her own behalf, expressed some concerns about the project. Specifically, she focused on the possible subdivision of parcels and the potential impact such subdivisions would have on floor-area ratio.
Sue Himmelrich, also on the Planning Commission but speaking to council members as an individual, said the project's affordable housing is not sufficient.
Former mayors Michael Feinstein and Denny Zane both stated the project should feature more on housing units and less commercial units.
Feinstein added the location of the proposed mixed-use development – the former Papermate site near the intersection of Olympic Boulevard and 26th Street – is across from the Water Garden, which he said already generates a high number of vehicle trips and has an unfavorable ratio of employees who live out of Santa Monica versus those who live within city limits.
If approved in its current form, the proposed Hines project would bring 473 rental housing units, 25 artist work/live units, and an estimated 400,000 square feet of creative office, restaurant, and retail space to Olympic Boulevard and 26th Street.
Also proposed is about 90,000 square feet of open space, a three-level subterranean parking structure accommodating between 1,900 and 2,100 parking spaces, the construction of two new north/south streets with signalized intersections at Olympic Boulevard, and an east/west extension of Nebraska Avenue connecting 26th and Stewart Streets.
The proposed project's five buildings would average 71 feet in height, with the tallest building reaching 81 feet, according to the final EIR.
Also according to the final EIR, the proposed project would require the removal of coral trees in the area. The report describes the trees as a "recognized scenic resource."

The organization at City Hall last Tuesday was an insult to democracy. the overflow hall was hugely overcrowded and under-seated, and it was impossible to hear what was going on in the main hall because of the acoustics and lack of supplementary loudspeakers. Mayor Pam O'Connor should show opponents she is not beholden to the developers or anybody else by holding the next meeting in the city hall, where ordinary citizens can see and hear their elected officials, not mill about in a deafening, draughty ante-chamber out of sight and mind of the decisionmakers. That's what democracy is all about! And boy, do we need democracy when it comes to the overdevelopment of our city and the council members who kow tow to the big developers!

This project will doom this area to traffic gridlock forever. We will never recover normal accessibility and vehicular movement, ever.

I too went to Tuesdays meeting and waited until 11:45 pm to be heard. The process was chaotic and dysfunctional to say the least. Too little seating and impossible acoustics. And yet, it seemed quite deliberately orchestrated that way. Although a quick 'raise your hands' vote in the overflow area downstairs was 95% opposed to the Hines project, the actual speaking opportunities by the public were delayed with mind numbing procedural issues. Then followed a 90 minute presentation by Hines peppered with the standard buzz phrases: creative offices,heritage trees,green spaces, etc. The lack of accountability for the traffic gridlock resulting from the additional Bergamot/Hines traffic was again skillfully downplayed. Later Mayor Pam O Connor was exposed for having received campaign contributions from Hines (!) and was asked to recuse herself from voting. O Connor just shrugged it off, saying it was perfectly legal. An ethical conflict wasn't even a consideration. The message was clear: We've been sold off to a Texas developer while some of our elected officials are trying to keep a straight face listening to our concerns. In the meantime tuesdays 6pm demonstration in front of City Hall is an important next step to stop the looming Bergamot disaster and demand accountability from our City Council. The final option is a referendum and we should prepare for it. Hines is only one of nearly 40 large scale projects planned in our city. We have to demand transparency, intelligent planning and accountability before we end up in eternal gridlock.

The city council and mayor have already taken their bribes so they'll follow the money as usual. You'll just have to sit there and take it because money always wins in American politics. This project and all the ones like it WILL be built.

Why The Westboro Baptist Church Is Skipping 9-Year-Old's Funeral
Not because Arizona legislators passed an emergency law barring protesters from coming within 300 feet of a funeral, but because 102.1 The Edge in Toronto and KXXT-AM in Phoenix have agreed to give Shirley Phelps-Roper's clan some airtime on Saturday. Huzzah for negotiating with fundamentalists!
Er because Fred isn't that stupid and was a trained lawyer.
Hello? Pick your battles.
I would be facinated to find out how this church earns it's money, since it's members are all family, are they receiving donations from any organizations?
I also have to wonder if this doesn't have to do with Arizona's concealed carry law. I could easily see a mob flash down there waiting to happen.

How does this church even exist? Honestly, don't they all spend more time traveling around for their hate protests than…you know…actually being a church? Aside from all their stupid and hateful beliefs I really don't understand how they function.
Phelps supported Al Gore in the 1988 Democratic Party primary election. In his 1984 Senate race, Gore opposed a "gay bill of rights" and stated that homosexuality was not something that "society should affirm". Phelps has stated that he supported Gore because of these earlier comments. According to Phelps, members of the Westboro Baptist Church helped run Gore's 1988 campaign in Kansas. Phelps' son, Fred Phelps Jr., hosted a Gore fundraiser at his home in Topeka and was a Gore delegate to the 1988 Democratic National Convention.

Bianca Dupree
this wiki
|Bianca Dupree
|Full Name
|Bianca Dupree
|First Appeared
|Double-Surfing Double Cross
| Wilshire - driver and best friend
Empress - dog
Bianca Dupree is a rich (like the other main characters) and spoiled yet beautiful teenage girl and one of the main characters of the cartoon. She is the main antagonist in most episodes.
She has light blue/ice green eyes with light green eye shadow and long black hair.
Despite her beauty, this arrogant diva can often be seen riding around in her long pink limo, with her dog Empress and her chauffeur Wilshire Brentwood. She dislikes nature in favor of the clean house and conditioned air, although in one episode she was excited about a camping trip - if for no other reason than the shopping required. She is Larke's best enemy forever and ever. She wants to win the heart of Troy. She is very jealous of Larke's relationship with him and is constantly scheming to ruin it, since Bianca has a major crush on him as well. Bianca is not above sabotaging her other peers, either; she once tried to ruin Tara's entry into a beauty pageant. However, when on one occasion she learned her latest scheme might lead to Larke's death, she risked her own life to rescue her, and later withdrew from the competition. Wilshire is desperately in love with Bianca, but she steps all over him, despite the gang's efforts to match them up. Oddly, while Bianca sees nothing wrong with her own habit of mistreating Wilshire, she does not allow anybody else to do the same, the episode The Kindest Cut of All proves this. Bianca has kissed Wilshire more times than anyone else in show.
- Bianca was originally going to be called Raven.
- Bianca had broken her leg once in the series.
- Bianca hates perspiring.
- Bianca is apparently allergic to anything that grows in dirt.

Reset Password in Dell® Inspiron 570
How to reset password on Dell Inspiron 570?
Dell Inspiron 570 is one of the most high level multifunctional laptop in the Dell portfolio. But, if anybody wants to hack the computer then it is not very tough. One can easily hack the password of the laptop and can access the files and folders stored in the laptop if that person is a professional hacker. So, the password should be changed regularly. Another thing might happen when the user totally forgets the password and he cannot access the important information and files and folders on the computer. At that time there is no other way to solve the problem than resetting the password.
- Need to reset password on Dell Inspiron 570
- - Windows passwords
- - Lost Passwords
Need to reset password on Dell Inspiron 570
On Dell Inspiron 570 we can change the password anytime. But sometimes it might happen that some unauthorized persons are using the computer. So we need to change the passwords regularly and we should not disclose the passwords to any unauthorized person who does not have the authority to use that particular computer.
Windows passwords
For changing the system password first we need to go to the 'Start Menu' and select the 'Control Panel' there. In control panel we can find various system related options. Click the 'Passwords' option. Then click on 'Change Windows password' button. After that a question will be asked to the user if the user is sure of the change. We should click on 'OK' to change the password. Now Windows will ask the user to enter the new password. If the user wants to change the old password to a new one then he or she should type the password and click 'OK' and if the user does not want to keep any password then the field provided to enter the new password should be kept blank. In case of entering a new password, a confirmation box will come asking the user to re-enter the new password. After this the password will be changed.
Sometimes people face problems when they cannot remember the password. They cannot access the computer and all the important information stored in it. When the user hits the "ESC" button when the windows will ask for password. The password field will be closed and the user will be able to enter the computer as guest. As a guest, the user is unable to access the profile related folders. Then the user should go to the start menu and search for folders with ".pwl" extension. It will show a list of passwords of that computer. "Pwl"files are system passwords file. The user can only delete them. When the system will restart then the Windows will ask the user to enter a new password.

DIY Moleskine "Top 10" Photo Album
Step 1
Make a heart photo page. Cut a piece of copy paper to 3.5" x 5.5". Fold it lengthwise and cut it into the shape of a heart to make a template. On your computer, size a photograph to approximately 3.5"x 5.5". Print it on a sheet of photo paper, place the template over it and trace around it, then cut the photo into the shape of a heart.
Open the Moleskine sketchbook to the first page (the one that says "In case of loss, please return to…"), and use scissors to carefully cut it from the bottom to the top of the page, leaving a \u00bd" "tab" of paper connected to the binding. (Don't discard this cut-out page, you'll need it later.) You may also need to remove the second page, if they're glued together near the binding. Use the double-sided tape to affix the left edge of the back of your heart-shaped photo to the tab, then trim the tab down so it's less noticeable in the spots where the heart is not attached.

Andi vs Kymberly Jane
1) Andi vs Kymberly Jane Part 2
2) Andi vs Kymberly Jane Part 1
rate this movie:
1. Part Andi vs Kymberly (27:56 mins)
Kym and Andi are two of the hottest women you're ever going to see wrestle in an XXX rated, winner fucks the loser match. Many would say the hottest. If you haven't seen either of them in action, you're missing out. Sweet, aggressive blonde Andi has a surfer girl athletic body, great tits, and an all over tan. Andi's had her fair share of matches the last couple years. She is quick, both in wit and physical speed, and is beginning to come into her own on the wrestling front. She's a lovely girl, but loves to get on top of and put it to another beautiful woman, especially some model. Especially Kim. Kim is your basic drop dead gorgeous model, with dark hair, porcelain skin, and a beautifully exquisite and expressive face.
She is highly in demand as a model, and doesn't do this type of wrestling anywhere else. We are always honored she takes the time to get her fix for nasty girl wrestling here at The Academy. When we last saw these two knockouts on the mats together, Cali cutie Andi had wrestled Kym into submission and fucked her silly.
2. Part Andi vs Kymberly (28:57 mins)
That was 16 months ago, and apparently Kym either hasn't learned her lesson...or maybe she has. She came down looking for Andi, and it took a mere matter of hours to set up the match. Sexy and well paced wrestling dominates the early going as the girls attack with scissors, straddle pins, and tit smothers. Though one girl clearly controls the early going, eventually her foe picks up the pace and both goddess like women do score submissions.
Unfortunately for one battler, her foe's superior conditioning leads to a totally decisive, dominating ass kicking at the end...a symphony of destruction by one fabulous female that ends in a slow and sexy victory fuck, with the loser squirming in pleasure throughout!
The end, as always, is very explicit and mind blowingly hot!

"How will I do it, how will I make it? I won't, that's how," rapped Anthony "Treach" Criss on "Everything's Gonna Be Alright (Ghetto Bastard)," Naughty By Nature's second smash hit single.
Only a few years after Jon Bon Jovi sang about how it didn't make a difference if he made it or not, Treach's words were even more Jersey-fatalistic. He and group mates Vin Rock and DJ Kay Gee were trapped in the slums of Essex County, belittled by their elders and overlooked by their wealthier peers — pain, suffering and vicious competition for limited resources were their only birthrights.
This was the vision articulated on "Naughty By Nature," the group's breakthrough album, and it was as tough and uncompromising as anything the gangsta rappers from Southern California were pushing in the early '90s.
Yet the album is also an eruption of joy — a record that hasn't dated at all and still sounds great at a block party or a backyard get-together.
"O.P.P.," the trio's first hit, was, depending on how you looked at it, either a celebration or condemnation of cheating. It's likely it was both; regardless, it got America dancing to the nefarious thrills of infidelity. Kay Gee pinched the drums from Melvin Bliss' "Synthetic Substitution" and the piano riff from "ABC" by the Jackson 5, and Treach spit fire over the top. Few could resist the combination and "O.P.P." became one of hip-hop's first crossover blockbusters. It also drew listeners to the set, a compendium of roughneck challenges and tough talk served hot off the streets of East Orange.
The three artists grew up together near Oval Park; they played Little League baseball and Pop Warner football, listened to early hip-hop mixtapes and challenged each other to make music of their own.
The New Style, their early act, was signed to the Bon Ami imprint by the late Sylvia Robinson, producer of "Rapper's Delight." Soon afterward, their music was championed by Queen Latifah, who snatched them up for her Flavor Unit Management.
By the early '90s, Naughty By Nature was established as the rare act that could score hits without sacrificing its hardcore credibility. "Hip Hop Hooray," a '93 Top 10 hit, was simultaneously a rambunctious boast and a declaration of love for the group's chosen style.
Treach, in particular, was a prototype for the emcees who would come to dominate the '90s: his verses were dense, allusive, threatening, filled with assonance and interior rhyme, yet when he hit upon a hook, he'd make sure it became something his listener never forgot. Shortly after coming to national recognition, the videogenic rapper made his entry into films and television.
But no matter how successful his acting career became, he never stopped writing rhymes. In 1995, Naughty By Nature took home the first Best Rap Album Grammy Award ever given. "Poverty's Paradise," the trio's aggressive — but never less than thoughtful — third album, scored the golden gramophone.
"We wanted people to know about New Jersey," Treach told The Star-Ledger in 2011. "Everybody who was outside of Jersey thought it was just lawns and houses and seashore. They thought there's no ghetto in New Jersey. We knew better."

City Hall Watch reported this week on an Oregon Court of Appeals decision protecting the rights of low-income tenants living at projects funded through a national tax-credit program. The state administers Low Income Housing Tax Credits, the nation's largest funding source of affordable housing, and at the time of publication a spokeswoman for the agency hadn't returned a call seeking comment.
Why did the state let Rose City Village's owner out of the program, a move that subsequently prompted renovations and higher rents, sending existing residents such as Nordbye Brice packing?
"They had egregious non-compliance," said Lisa Joyce, a spokeswoman for the Oregon Housing and Community Services department.
Joyce said the state's monitoring plan involved physical inspections every five years at the property, now renamed The Ellington, and desk compliance in other years. The first owner claimed to be in compliance from 1993 to 1996, when the state didn't visit the property, she said. But when officials conducted a physical review in 1997, they found a variety of problems including health and safety issues and a failure to check income of tenants at move-in.
The state issued a notice of non-compliance and the owner claimed to rectify the problems, Joyce said. But officials didn't return to the apartments until 2002, she said, and again "found every file out of compliance."
None of the tenants' income had been verified, she said. Health and safety issues included leaky faucets and non-working fire detectors. Some units had mold. Others didn't have hot water and heaters and light fixtures had pulled away from some walls, she said. But Joyce said she could not point to documents showing that the state reported any of the problems to city code inspectors for enforcement.
The second owner told state officials he would not comply with the requirements, Joyce said.
"We couldn't get anybody to come in there and get it back up to code," she said.
But Joyce said state officials followed "the ordinary process" of trying to work with the existing owner. She said officials didn't seek non-profits or housing organizations who would be willing to purchase the 264-unit property and maintain its 30-year commitment to serve those in need of affordable housing.
The state instead let the property owner out of the LIHTC requirements, which the court later said "would create a perverse incentive to encourage noncompliance."
"Once released from the obligation to maintain the property as low-income housing for the stated period, an owner would be free to charge market-rate rent or to sell the project for a profit, thereby profiting from a public subsidy without fulfilling the conditions of that subsidy," the court wrote in its Oct. 26 decision.
Rents did increase at The Ellington. Today, a 1-bedroom runs $735 and a 2-bedroom starts at $815. The price points are still below the region's fair market rent levels by about 5 to 10 percent.
"They were paying such low rents" before," Joyce said. "The rents were just rock-bottom."
Of 562 tax-credit projects, this is the only property that state officials let out early, she said.

Her voice and delivery are undeniably strong and crass, not your average female or comic. It's the unexpected truths along with her delivery that are hilarious. You might've seen her on "Last Comic Standing" giving hell to the judges or her recent comedic appearances on Nick@Nite and TV Guide network bashing pregnant teens and reality shows. Not one adverse to writing or performing "blue comedy" she's appeared on Showtime's Full Frontal Comedy and HBO's Las Vegas Comedy Festival. Paula's talented stand-up delivery had her headlining on the 2012 "Just for Laughs" Montreal Festival Nasty Show as well as the off-season "clean" tours throughout Canada. As a successful crossover act, Paula has recently taped BET 2013. Her numerous credits also include 'The View" and "Comics Unleashed."
Only six years into her stand-up career, she performed on "The Tonight Show." Headlining in clubs across the country, Paula's numerous television appearances and writing style make her one of the most unique female comics performing today.

Scruncho's television roles and appearances have included programs such as BET's ComicView and MTV's Nick Cannon's Wild 'N Out. The comedian has toured and opened up for fellow comedian Mike Epps on his 2012 nationwide tour.

Well it looks like I'm fasting today. I forgot my lunch and I wouldn't buy anything here at work, so here goes!
Had a great evening last night. I fixed stuffed peppers and mexican faux rice. It was delicious. The Halloween candy was tempting me so I baked primal chocolate chip cookies. Satisfied that craving right away. This got me thinking about cravings and people going "off" paleo. My binge eating happens because I tell myself I will eat only primal all the time, no treats even. Well that doesn't work because I am a foodie and there are occasions in life (such as a dinner party) where you don't control who cooks for you. Most people in my life always fix a salad for me or allow me to bring a dish of my own. But the holiday are upon us and I'm wondering can I do what I did last year but make it all they way through Christmas. Last year I ate clean at Thanksgiving, but gorged during Christmas time. Could I make it through the holidays eating sensible primal treats? I think of yesterday at my work potluck and how I almost broke staring at that cheese cake, but I didn't. And I feel great today. I remember last thanksgiving where I was able to enjoy my family and friends and not be in a carb coma the rest of the day. I woke up refreshed and ready to shop. I want to feel like that for the next two months. Lets see how it goes shall we.
Well it looks like I'm fasting today. I forgot my lunch and I wouldn't buy anything here at work, so here goes!
Not a bad weekend, took my faux mexican rice to a birthday party, was a smash. It was rainy all weekend and nothing really interesting happened this weekend. Going through the carb blues, but stepped on the scale and had lost a pound over the weekend, can't complain about that.
So I am a church goer. We have these small groups every season, so we can get together and get to know one another. The groups go between bibile study and Ultimate Frisbee (I was on this last summer). I have stated to my church that I would like to lead a couch to 5k group next January, I'm still working out the logistics, but to prove to myself I can lead a group like this I am doing the program first. Started yesterday, it was nice and easy. I plan on emphasizing keeping a good heart rate, but my main goal is to give support to those who want to get moving. I am down 2 pounds but still very heavy at 238. I think by showing them that if I can do this anyone with the ability to walk for 30 minutes can do this. I am also doing this in tandum with my DDP yoga which I did this morning. Good Stuff. I noticed that I must eat to my calorie goal, yesterday I almost ate it but I wasn't hungry, but I walk/jog for an hour every day and do yoga evey other day. I was suprised to see how many calories that burns. Gotta keep my fuel up.
Well yesterday was very interesting in regards to the exercise/calorie thing. First note- I exercise within the heart rate parameters set by Primal Blueprint. Two- I watch my carbs more than my calories. Three- Exercise makes a difference. I preplan my meals. I have the same lunch and breakfast every day during the week. I switch it up at dinner to add some excitement, plus I like to cook. Well last night I had to go to the mall to fix a phone thing so the man and I decided to go out to dinner. We went to Red Robing were I got a Bacon and Guacamole burger wrapped in lettuce. I indulged and got the fries. OK OK I also got two single rum and diet cokes with a lime, ALRIGHT and a small peppermint mocha at starbucks. DAMIT! Well here is the thing. I walk to and from work 1 hour and 10 minutes total. I did yoga for 30 minutes yesterday. I also walked from the resturant through the mall and back. All wearing my heart rate monitor and keeping within my range. I burned over 1000 calories walking and doing yoga. It did not feel hard, it felt wonderful. It was not a chore, it was just a part of my day. Well I figured with eveything I ate last night, my scale would surely read up this morning. NOPE 1/2 pound down. Blows my mind.
BLAH, BLAH, BLAH. That is how I feel this morning. Was good last night, no crap, in ketosis this morning. That is all.
Well looks like I injured a ligament in my foot, stupid CW shoes I bought to look my professional at work. Its going to take two months to heal! So no more running and walking to work, I can swim and bike, time to up the body weight workouts, minus the squats. Will work around it.
Well I am good to start biking and stuff now that I can put my weight on my foot. Lets see how this goes.
Have you every realized that you let yourself go? I know I am not nearly as strong as I used to be, but I don't think I every knew how strong I really was. When I was a steel carpenter I could throw around heavy peices of metal like they were small sacks of flour. I had hand strength. I was able to do more things than I realized, maybe thats why my body could handle the little bit of weight I always carried. Lifting heavy things was a part of my every day life. I'm in an office now, I have been for 3 years. My first year I was able to do a 100 push up challenge and at the end I was able to make it 86 push ups (standard form) in a row, easily. Yesterday I did the P90X workout (chest and back), I enjoy these workouts, here is the sad part. I was only able to do 5 knee push ups. My numbers were so low it was unreal. I am the weakest I believe I have ever been in my adulthood. I am feeling the DOMS this morning, and it feels wonderful. Most people would think this is too much, I will never be strong again. I am thinking wow, I've got no where to go but UP. I know how strong I can be, so the goal is set. I pray that God will give me the determination to continue on this path, and the support to see it through. Happy Sunday ALL.
Monday morning,
I live in Seattle. We are in the middle of a storm that has dumped 5 inches of rain in the last 24 hours, and will dump another 5 inches in the next 24 hours. As I walked to work in my rain suit (my foot is good to go, I think the doctor was being overly cautious) I felt wonderful, not dreary, but great. I did yoga with a friend last night and stretched out my sore upper body. I think that was the only reason why I could put my bra on this morning. I'm in a great mood, life is good. Thank you for my happiness.

Fox because he kicks your arse!
I've always gone with Link since the fist Smash Bros, but I think Pit looks awesome. Hes kinda like Link, and thats why I like him. Hes got swords and a bow. If they bring Ness back then I might be him too. So many to choose from!
"He was hit by a Dodge, which I found both funny and ironic"
"But, what was Mary doing putting her face near tires?Oh no, this tire wasn't ****ing around, as we like to say. This tire was out for vengeance. This tire MURDERED Mary."
Man you guys choose the easy ones.
I like Peach. Her Bitch Slap o' death and her Frying Pan o' Justice (or her almighty butt bump) make her full of awesome.
My favorite but cheap character is Zelda. Samus used to be my favorite though.
Normally I would use Link,and still will but I think I will play as pit more then anyone else in the selection of characters.
This might be my 7th time sayin this....or maybe on a diff thread like this!!
For those that play the game, Prepare to have your @$$e$ handed to YOU!
Just When You Thought It Was Over........It Not Over Until I Say Its Over........So You Better Think Twice My Friend!!!
My WOC for friends list on Wii is right by my name....If you want to add ME Pm....if you do it without my knowing...I WILL NOT ADD YOU:
I play with Mario. He the most versatile character in any game that hes in...well, at least when I play with him...
I would have to say Bowser, Mario or Fox for my choice.

Where have all the signs gone?
Wondering where all the Reichert signs were, I called his office here on the Island and was told theyre not allowed to campaign not even to hand me a sign; its the law. Wow, what an advantage for his opponent! So I called the campaign headquarters in Bellevue and asked where all the signs for Reichert were, and guess what? They had put out signs, but they were stolen. Now, who could have done that? With all the hundreds of Burner signs, isnt it nice to learn that we Republicans arent so mean-spirited, judgmental or thieves after all!

Thank you for the Farmers Market
On behalf of my family and me, I would like to thank all of those involved in bringing the Farmers Market to Mercer Island. The offerings were varied to appeal to many tastes, the entertainment was wonderful, and it was certainly a Sunday social scene! What a great way to support local farmers and businesses as well as celebrate our little community. I hope others will come take advantage of this delightful new Mercer Island offering!
This type of event is a huge undertaking by many, and we appreciate your efforts congratulations and thank you!

Paying for road repairs with tolls
Conversations while waiting for the bus are one of the unique pleasures of transit riding. On my way home from the meeting about tolling bridges, I had one such conversation.
My fellow Seattle-bound passengers and I were discussing the resurfacing of West Mercer Way. Mercer Island, we learned, has a street levy and a regular maintenance and resurfacing schedule. We all thought this policy eminently sensible and wished Seattle had something analogous.
When I think about Islanders willingness to tax themselves to pay for street maintenance, the outcry about tolls on I-90 seems sort of incongruous. Islanders pay to maintain their own streets, which they have no choice about using. Why the reluctance to pay tolls for roadways off the Island, where they represent only a portion of the users?
I understand that people think they have already paid for this road. With the costs of everything food, energy, services rising daily, why do people expect the cost of using roads not to rise as well?
I am sympathetic to concerns that money raised from bridge tolls be used to benefit transportation in the area where it is collected. I hope the legislature will craft measures that add transit capacity partially funded by tolls on both bridges as soon as possible. I hope such measures can address the needs I heard for very local service as well as cross-lake travel.

SOMERVILLE — Batteries, bottled water and generators are a must when preparing for Hurricane Irene and are flying off the shelves.
But there is a different kind of commodity — not quite as important, but perhaps more useful — being bought at a brisk pace.
Liquor stores are seeing an uptick in business as people prepare to enjoy a "hurricane party," or attempt to cope with being at home for a few days, possibly without electricity.
"Everybody's saying that if they're going to be stuck inside, they want to be happy," said Ron Cesare, who manages Liquor Saver in Somerville.
Business, he said, has been up 25 percent since Friday.
Wayne resident John Reeves took the weather warnings seriously and pre-ordered a half-keg of Land Shark from the Bottle King on Route 23.
"Not a bad way to spend a rainy day," he said with a smile.
Business is up about 30 percent, said store manager Andrew Norton.
"I heard a lot of people say, they are throwing hurricane parties," Norton said. "They are buying everything."
At Buy Rite liquors in Bound Brook, 40 to 50 cases of Corona beer have been sold since Friday, said Garrett Williams, an employee.
The store's most popular items have been beer, ice and wine, he said.
As he bought ice and a half-dozen six-packs of bottled beer, Tony Dinello, of Somerville, said he wanted to stock up on beer for a fantasy football draft party to be held saturday night.
"No hurricane's going to stop that," he said.
Sitting in a bagel shop near Seton Hall University in South Orange, recent graduate Rob Hurik, 23, and senior Angela Peate, 21, finished lunch as a mid-afternoon rainfall started to pound down on the sidewalk outside.
"Here we go," Peate said.
On Friday night, the two attended a hurricane party at a friend's house. They both said except for some specialized drinks, the get-together probably would have happened anyway. "I mean, it is college," Peate said. "There's no reason to drag Irene into this."
But the opportunity for a theme party has many students doing just that, suiting up in swimsuits and rain gear and sipping on hurricane cocktails (A rum punch drink consists of 2 ounces of light rum, dark rum and passion fruit juice, 1 ounce of orange juice, a squeeze of lime, simple syrup and grenadine).
"You go on Facebook right now and there are like 30 parties all with the same theme: 'Hurricane Irene Bring it on,'" Hurik said. "Honestly I think all this hype is the dumbest thing. Everyone is flipping out, and I just know it's gonna be a disappointment."
Hence the partying.
He and Peate plan on attending another affair at a friend's house near campus tonight.
When asked if they thought heavy drinking could impede their survival instinct, the two paused and looked at each other, eyebrows raised. "It's probably a bad idea," Hurik said laughing. "Actually it's a terrible idea, but I'm still going."
Outside of a Walgreens in Orange, nearly 20 people lined up at the Red Box DVD rental machine to load up on movies for the afternoon and evening.
"We're just gonna watch movies all night. My mom said to get four or five," said Jose Razinos, 22, of Orange. Razino's little sister is 9 years old and getting scared about the coming storm. "We're trying to keep her happy and distracted," Razinos said.
"The Sorcerer's Apprentice," a Disney movie, is the first of Razinos' picks. "I think she'll like this," he said. "I just hope the electricity doesn't go out."

BACKGROUND: Flow-diverting stents offer a promising treatment option for complex aneurysms.
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Pipeline embolization device (PED) in the treatment of fusiform and dissecting aneurysms.
METHODS: Sixty-five consecutive patients with 69 fusiform and dissecting aneurysms underwent endovascular treatment with the use of the PED. Target vessels included the internal carotid artery (n = 28), middle cerebral artery (n = 2), anterior cerebral artery (n = 1), vertebral artery (n = 20), basilar artery (n = 17), and posterior cerebral artery (n = 1). An average of 3.0 PEDs per target vessel were deployed.
RESULTS: Exclusion of the aneurysm(s) immediately after PED deployment was not observed. Angiographic follow-up examinations were performed in 63/65 patients (67/69 lesions). They showed complete cure of the target lesion in the first follow-up angiography (3.4 months mean interval) in 24 (36%) cases, partial elimination in 30 (45%), and no improvement in 13 (19%). After the latest follow-up (>1 digital subtraction angiography, n = 49, 27.4 months mean interval) complete cure of the target lesion was observed in 33 (67%), partial elimination in 14 (29%), and no change in 2 (4%). Taking all follow-up examinations together, 39/67 (58%) aneurysms were cured. The morbidity and mortality in the entire series were 5% and 8%, respectively.
CONCLUSION: Flow diverters offer a promising treatment option in fusiform and dissecting aneurysms. The introduction of flow diverters with different densities might help to identify the optimal amount of coverage needed given different anatomic presentations of fusiform and dissecting aneurysms.

When Rosemary Caine of Greenfield first started playing the harp, she felt like she was in a magnetic force. "You can't wait to get back to your instrument," she said.
It was a new feeling for her, one she never experienced when learning to play the piano under the tutelage of the Sisters of Mercy in Ireland.
Now a player in the Pioneer Valley Harpers Guild, Caine writes music, performs and has even played at the bedside of the dying to create a calming atmosphere.
She will be part of the Pioneer Valley Harpers Guild concert on April 17 at 3:30 p.m. at Christ Church Cathedral in Springfield.
Free-will donations will be accepted.
The guild meets on the first Saturday of each month at the cathedral.
There members share tunes, try new tunes in an informal atmosphere, work on ensemble pieces, share tips and techniques, help novices and play and exchange music in a supportive atmosphere.
Guild president is Pat Larkin, secretary is Peter Macaulay.
Among the harpers in the guild — formed in 1994 — are pedal-harp players and players of historical harps and early music, but the majority play lever-harp and are interested in folk and traditional music.
Members come from Cape Cod to upstate New York and from the Connecticut coast to mid New Hampshire and Vermont. "You can get great joy and a great return very, very quickly" playing the harp, Caine said.
"There's something about the physicality of plucking on the strings. The music goes outward into the room and back to yourself."
She said that when she was singing with a group accompanied by a harp when she was in her 20s, the sound of the harp made her want to shed a tear.
"Music bypasses intellectual channels and goes right to the heart," she said. "Music has an emotive quality and double the emotive quality when it is played on the harp."
The guild organizes occasional workshops by professional harpers so members can learn a wider variety of musical techniques.
"In the world of learning the harp, there is great accommodation to learning styles and access to some of the best teachers in the world" like Maeve Gilchrist and Katrina McKay, Caine said.
Members of the guild occasionally organize concerts of harp music — frequently at the music-room of Wistariahurst Museum in Holyoke —and in summer provide groups of harpers at local highland games and other festivals.
The guild became an affiliated chapter of the International Society of Folk Harpers and Craftsmen in 1996 and now has more than 60 active harpers. Membership dues are $10 a year.

President of the Irish Republic
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about the president of the 1919–1922 Irish Republic. For the head of state of the modern Ireland, see President of Ireland.
President of the Republic was the title given to the head of the Irish ministry or Aireacht in August 1921 by an amendment to the Dáil Constitution, which replaced the previous title, Príomh Aire or President of Dáil Éireann. Unlike the previous offices, which were simply head of government or prime minister, the President of the Republic was explicitly declared to be the Irish Republic's head of state.
Presidents of the Republic[edit]
- Éamon de Valera – Sinn Féin (August 1921 to January 1922)[1]
- Arthur Griffith – Pro-Treaty Sinn Féin (January to August 1922)
- Following de Valera's resignation, Arthur Griffith was elected to his office, but though he preferred to use the earlier title of President of Dáil Éireann he never actually reverted the constitutional amendments of August 1921. Meanwhile, Michael Collins became Chairman of the Provisional Government of the provisional state created in the 1921 Anglo-Irish Treaty.
- W. T. Cosgrave – Pro-Treaty Sinn Féin (August to December 1922)
- Following Arthur Griffith's death and Michael Collins's assassination in August 1922, Cosgrave simultaneously held both their offices; like Griffith he used the title "President of Dáil Éireann". In reality all distinction between both offices and indeed both states ceased to exist – by September 1922 it was not even clear when TDs assembled whether they were meeting as the Dáil or the Provisional Parliament of the treaty state. Both states themselves and their respective heads of government disappeared with the coming into force in December 1922 of the Constitution of the Irish Free State.
See also[edit]
- ^ In October 1922, during the Irish Civil War the anti-Treaty TDs formed a "republican government", with de Valera claiming the title of "President of the Republic". See Irish republican legitimatism for more details.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- A community meeting to discuss redevelopment of Five Points West and the area near the new Crossplex is this evening.
The 6 p.m. meeting is at Bush Hills Academy, 901 16th St. West. Speakers include representatives of BLOC Global, the group hired by the city to evaluate the area and develop a master plan.
Crossplex, which opened last summer, was touted as a public facility to create a climate ripe for attracting private interest.
A Walmart Neighborhood Market is the first proposed private development at the Crossplex, but Mayor William Bell isn't ready to endorse it or put it before the City Council.
Councilman Steven Hoyt, who represents the western-area neighborhoods, opposes bringing any kind of Walmart to the area.
Hoyt said he is against giving taxpayer money to invite the major retailer, which he says will eventually close longtime stores in the neighborhood.
In a story for today's Birmingham News, Bell's chief of staff, Chuck Faush, said the current Walmart proposal was problematic because of the amount of incentives requested and the need to balance new development with existing businesses.
However, Faush did not rule out the possibility of a compromise with the yet-to-be-named developer, saying Bell "hasn't closed the door, but what he has done is make a stand in the door."
BLOC's report, which will be discussed this evening, covers several elements of redevelopment, including a suggestion to hire one firm to oversee broad development of the area. Other suggestions include a system of city land banking to acquire properties, and writing guidelines for an incentive program to attract new retailers and commercial entities.
The document also defines three district target areas: the Crossplex campus, the Ensley Avenue corridor and Five Points West District, and Crossplex gateway at Interstate 20/59.

As part of the ID channel's "Forget You Week," the 49-year-old former radio jock will host a one-hour special called "50 Ways to Leave Your Lover" on Valentine's Day, Feb. 14 at 10pm.

Whether or not you choose to stay with your addict is up to you, but like it or not you're going to need some help either way.

Terry Songy, the first major player to turn state's evidence in the biggest City Hall scandal in decades, was sentenced to six months in prison and ordered to pay $70,344 in restitution to the city and federal governments by U.S. District Judge Sarah Vance Wednesday morning.
Unless investigators identify more defendants, Songy will be the last figure sentenced in the scheme to loot the city's energy contract with Johnson Controls Inc. which wound up producing more than a dozen convictions. Among them: former property management director Kerry DeCay, restaurateur and political operative Stan "Pampy" Barre, and, indirectly at least, then-City Council President Oliver Thomas.
Prosecutors described Songy, 51, of Albany, as the linchpin of their case, and asked Vance to sentence him to probation rather than prison.
"He made this case possible," First Assistant U.S. Attorney Jan Mann, the lead prosecutor on the case, said of the government's key witness.
Not only was Songy's aid crucial to cracking the case, Mann said, he has made major efforts to rehabilitate himself since pleading guilty.
"As much as anyone I've ever prosecuted, he's tried to make right what he did wrong," she said.
Songy offered a short apology to the court.
"I want to say I'm sorry for what I've done," he said. "I stepped off the curb. I wasn't raised that way. I hurt the city, I hurt my company and I hurt my family."
In the end, Vance agreed to a lesser punishment than the prison term of 12 to 18 months recommended by sentencing guidelines, but said that she could not in good conscience allow Songy to avoid prison because of the severity of his crimes. Songy pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit mail fraud and tax evasion, but admitted other offenses to investigators.
Not only were his crimes serious ones, the judge noted, "He did not get public-spirited until he got caught."
She ordered him to report to the Bureau of Prisons on Sept. 30.
Several family members wept quietly after Vance announced the sentence.
Songy was a project manager for Johnson Controls Inc., a Fortune 500 company, in the late 1990s when the firm won a massive energy-efficiency contract from Mayor Marc Morial's administration.
As the deal came under federal scrutiny, Songy was the first to admit to investigators that he and three City Hall insiders -- DeCay, a top administrator, plus Barre, a pal of Morial's, and businessman Reginald Walker, a friend of Barre's -- had plotted to skim money from the contract.
The scheme required an inside man at City Hall, and one at Johnson Controls. DeCay filled the former role; Songy, the latter. Songy was fired by Johnson Controls after it became clear that he had abused his position.
Songy's part in the conspiracy was to approve inflated invoices for various jobs, some of which were unrelated to energy savings. In particular, some of the work improved the food-and-drink areas at the Municipal Auditorium, where Barre was the sole concessionaire.
In exchange for his complicity, Songy told investigators, he received various gifts -- including a range, microwave, dishwasher and refrigerator -- as well as cash kickbacks worth more than $200,000.
The other players were likewise compensated, with Barre's take topping $800,000, according to prosecutors.
Songy, who was represented by lawyer Bob Glass, cooperated with the government in various ways, telling the feds to look for specific items at DeCay's home and allowing conversations to be recorded.
In one call recorded nearly four years ago, according to a transcript, Songy told DeCay: "We got, I mean, just to stay close, 'cause, you know, there is damage control."
DeCay replied: "Yeah, I'm with you. But I want to assure you again, you and I are locked."
Songy agreed, telling DeCay: "We had a pact."
As the conversation wound up, DeCay said: "You my man," and added: "We going to be whistling Dixie together."
While a half-dozen subcontractors on the Johnson Controls deal wound up pleading guilty to crimes and agreeing to testify for the prosecution, it was Songy who was set to take the stand as the government's star witness as the trial neared in January 2007.
But on the eve of trial, Walker pleaded guilty to two charges, and Barre and DeCay soon folded their tents, pleading to an identical list of three felonies apiece.
DeCay suffered by far the harshest punishment of the group: U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier sentenced him to nine years in federal prison last year.
After pleading guilty last year, Barre wound up being as cooperative as Songy. His debriefing sessions helped prosecutors convict then-City Council President Oliver Thomas last August; Thomas was sentenced to 37 months in prison last fall.
Barre provided other leads that have as yet not led to indictments, including an accusation that Orleans Parish School Board member Una Anderson's husband took bribes in exchange for his wife's support for a contract. The Andersons have strongly denied the allegation.
Though prosecutors, citing Barre's cooperation, pushed for a maximum of 3 years in prison for him, Barbier last month handed down a sentence of five years. Walker, meanwhile, whose decision to plead guilty helped the government land Barre, was sentenced to 30 months in prison.

Spain's Queen Sofia turned 75 on Saturday, a significant milestone that comes at a time when she has stepped up her public activities without neglecting her duties to the royal family.
It also comes as her husband, King Juan Carlos, also 75, is convalescing after his most recent hip operation.
No public ceremonies are planned and the monarchy has not provided precise information about how the queen will celebrate the birthday.
It is unclear whether the entire royal family - including the king and queen; Crown Prince Felipe and his wife, Princess Letizia; their two daughters, the infantas Leonor and Sofia; and the infantas Elena and Cristina and their children - will get together for the occasion.
Princess Cristina, who lives in Switzerland with her family, was subpoenaed earlier this year in an Spanish embezzlement case involving her husband, Iñaki Urdangarin, although the summons was later suspended.
Even in her 70s, the queen remains dedicated to her foundation, which, according to its Web site, promotes education and health projects and social and humanitarian assistance projects "benefiting children, the elderly, immigrants, the disabled and those affected by natural disasters."
She also continues to be a tireless promoter of culture in all its aspects.
Sofia was born in Athens on Nov. 2, 1938, the daughter of King Paul of Greece and his wife, Frederica of Hanover; she married then-Prince Juan Carlos in the Greek capital on May 14, 1962.
Thus far this year, she has participated in nearly 100 official activities and made three official trips outside Spain: to Mozambique for a cooperation visit, to Lisbon for an international conference on missing and sexually exploited children and to New York to receive the Franklin D. Roosevelt International Disability Rights Award. EFE

On Thursday, November 17, 2011, during a television news interview about the N17 protest in Portland, Chief Mike Reese stated that a victim of a sexual assault had to wait three hours for Portland Police officers to respond due to police resources being tied up with Occupy Portland-related events. This statement has raised community concerns regarding police resources and it's important to put this information into context.
The Portland Police Bureau has faced significant staffing challenges during the Occupy Portland encampments and subsequent events. On Sunday, November 6, 2011, at 1:47 p.m., a 15-year-old girl called to report that she had been the victim of a sexual assault two days earlier, and that the suspect had been sexually assaulting her for months. The call was initially dispatched to police at 1:56 p.m., but a sergeant advised that the call would need to hold for awhile as there were only two free cars to respond to emergency calls in Central Precinct. An officer contacted the victim briefly and explained that all officers were tied up, but than an officer would be back to talk to her as soon as more officers were available. It is important to note the victim was in a safe location, away from the suspect. An officer responded to the victim's location at 5:16 p.m. and began an investigation, which later involved Sex Crimes Unit Detectives.
During the period that this victim had to wait, Central Precinct officers were responding to a shooting investigation at Northeast 66th and Sandy Boulevard where the Special Emergency Reaction Team (SERT) and Crisis Negotiators were involved; an incident in Forest Park where two Park Rangers were attacked; as well as being detailed to the ongoing Occupy Portland encampments in Chapman and Lownsdale Squares. Also, at approximately 2:00 p.m., a rally and march for Occupy Portland tied up most remaining police resources until approximately 4:30 p.m.
Additionally, Central Precinct officers were also covering East Precinct calls because of the SERT call and a serious traffic crash that shut down the intersection of Northeast 82nd and Prescott Street. Central Precinct day shift was at their minimum staffing level, which is 16 officers and 2 sergeants, plus 3 officers strictly dedicated to the Occupy Portland encampments.
The Police Bureau is a very lean organization and when several events are happening at the same time, police resources are often tapped to cover the priority calls while lower priority calls that have no immediate danger must hold until officers are clear and able to respond.
This unfortunate incident serves as one example of times when police resources were tapped due to emergency calls and Occupy Portland events and street supervisors have to carefully manage police resources to ensure that officers are available to respond to active emergencies.
This case serves as an example of the challenges the Portland Police Bureau has faced during Occupy Portland events, and it will continue to work through staffing issues and how to best use resources to ensure public safety needs are met within Portland.

North Lamar student makes UIL history
North Lamar High School senior Chase Ramsey is among the first in the State of Texas to be a state semi-finalist in University Interscholastic League Student Film Competition.
In its inaugural year, students across the state of Texas have been given the opportunity to learn and express themselves creatively through film.
Ramsey competed with other 1A, 2A, and 3A filmmakers across the state in categories that included animation, documentary, and narrative.
His film, a narrative entitled The Perfect Day, was made with no budget, borrowed equipment, and few resources.
"With a little help from theatre sales and free labor, Chase and his crew were able to make a film to represent North Lamar well," said NLHS theatre arts director and coach Cody Head. "His achievement comes from hard work and creativity."
State finalists will travel to Austin for the Young Filmmakers Premiere and UIL Awards Ceremony.
