Will it be the throne of night or the golden throne for Princess Meredith NicEssus?
Lawrance Bernabo
on November 2, 2007
I picked up "A Lick of Frost" with a sense of trepidation. By the time you get to this sixth volume in Laurell K. Hamilton's series of Meredith Gentry novels you cannot look at the title and not be flipping a mental coin as to whether the title means our faerie princess is the giver or the receiver of certain administrations from Frost, the Raven who is second in command of Merry's personal guard. Something significant does happen to the Killing Frost in this novel, but what is important is that he is not the only one to whom something significant happens this time around. My other fear was that since "A Lick of Frost" is only a 274-page book that there were simply not enough pages for much to happen, especially given how often Meredith, Princess of Flesh and Blood, has to have sex each day in her attempt to become pregnant and win the race to sit on the throne of the Unseelie Court. I am pleasantly surprised to discover that I was wrong and that this book is much more about power politics than it is sexual gratification.
In the previous book, "Mistral's Kiss," the interactions of Meredith and Mistral, the Master of Winds, the Bringer of Storms, and another of the queen's Ravens, brought magic back to the land of faerie. This is great news, but of course it only worsens the temperament of Andais, Queen of Air and Darkness, Merry's aunt and the mother of the degenerate Cel. However, in "A Lick of Frost" it is Merry's great-uncle Taranis, King of Light and Illusion who rules the Seelie court, who presents the more immediate problem. Taranis has charged three of Merry's royal bodyguards with having raped one of his court's women. Taranis has gone outside of faerie law and to the humans for justice, a move that is troubling because the sidhe do not lie and Merry's men are innocent, but also because nobody can figure out what Taranis is up to with this strange ploy. But that is what power politics is like amongst the people of faerie. We assume that in the "end" of this saga Merry is going to become Queen, and regardless of whether or not that will indeed prove to be how this plays out, there should be a point where the princess is going to have to finally stand up and go magic-el-magic with Andais, Taranis, or both. That point is not in the book, but Hamilton certainly sets it up by the end of this one, which certainly has me looking forward to the next volume already.
It might be unorthodox and certainly there will be those who will cry foul over the way Hamilton comes up with to have Merry trump her opponents, but I teach Greek mythology and if it is good enough for Leda then it is good enough for Meredith NicEssus. Hamilton's fans have to admit that having your consort decided by the luck of the ovum is radically different from forcing Anita Blake to get off the fence in making a decision about her own love life. But the Meredith Gentry series has another advantage in that we have known from the start what the prize is at the end of the rainbow, whereas with Anita Blake the escalating powers do not have an obvious point of culmination. Originally I liked Hamilton's novels for the horror, but in both series the emphasis has changed to sex and politics, which is certainly not the order of my preference. We know that power corrupts, but I wonder what the corollary for that dictum is when it comes to making rulers stupid, because Taranis and Andais are running neck and neck in that department. At least Andais is resisting the urge to go the Emperor Tiberius route and retroactively make your sadistic excesses look good by installing a worst debaucher on the throne to follow you (Cel as the Caligula of faerie makes perfect sense to me). "A Lick of Frost" might come down to the conflict between Merry and Taranis, but we all know that it is Andais who is the ultimate obstacle, and that the Queen of Air and Darkness is not going to give up without a sea of blood, an eventually that promises more horror than sex to my mind.

A frosty reception
E. A Solinas
on November 9, 2007
A shred of plot returns to Merryville in the sixth book, after five books of Laurell K. Hamilton's boring sex and amazing fairy superpowers.
But unfortunately "A Lick of Frost" still has little substance to make it a really enjoyable book -- for every page of plot, there are five of Sparkly Super Merry, and rambling discussions about sex, relationships, and all the men who want to have sex with the heroine.
Merry and three of her guards are in a lawyer's office, squabbling about whether some of her OTHER guards could have raped a Seelie woman. Hamilton, of course, takes the time to lecture the world on how they should see sex. But things deteriorate when the lawyers contact King Taranis of the Seelie Court, to determine if he has cause to lie. Taranis goes berserk, leaving one of Merry's guards severely wounded, and possibly disfigured.
In the meantime, Merry finds that the Seelie nobles are sufficiently impressed by her sparkly goddess powers that they might be willing to dethrone Taranis, and make her queen. That doesn't sit too well with Merry's aunt Andais -- and dear Uncle Taranis, who is creepily interested in Merry's magic nethers, is still waiting in the wings. What's more, Merry's claim to the Unseelie Throne might just become a reality.
It must be admitted, "A Lick of Frost" is way above the all-sex-no-plot books that preceded it. Hamilton really seems to be trying to tone down the sex, and emphasize political machinations and plotting. Too bad it still reads like a personal fantasy, although more about becoming Queen of the Universe than orgies.
Part of this is because the political situations are staggeringly dull, and very simple. Additionally, most of the book is a mass of legal wrangling, sex negotiations, and familial squabbling on the magic mirror. The whole rape plotline is explored and then dropped without resolution. And a major turning point in the series -- Merry's potential pregnancy -- is turning into a melodramatic farce, complete with meiotic impossibilities that are explained away with "oh, it's magic." Sorry, not good enough.
And in the meantime, many of Hamilton's biggest faults are firmly in place. Rambling dialogue, religious bigotry, child-men, and endless miles of multicoloured hair and designer clothes. One character's rippling flamelike hair is even even described in the middle of explosive emergencies -- you'd think Merry would be more concerned with not being killed than with an acquaintance's highlights.
Then again, that attitude fits the main character. Merry remains a bland Mary Sue without much motivation for anything she does, except to tell us that sexual restraint is bad, that she loves all her boytoys, and to ruminate endlessly on sex, love, sex, high-heels, and her own self-conscious angst about her sparkly magic powers.
Of course, this doesn't prevent every man in the world from wanting magic sex with her -- Taranis, the Redcaps, Cel, the goblins, the lawyers. Her assorted boytoys are only slightly thinner than the book's individual pages, with the exception of the tragic Frost. He alone gets some fleshing out, complete with a sorrowful history and fate, rendered in the most inspired, delicate prose Hamilton has written in ages.
Though it has some sweet moments, "Lick of Frost" is bogged down by poorly-written politics and relationship angst. Try again, Ms. Hamilton.

Action Comes Late But Great
Tez Miller
on January 19, 2008
Format: Hardcover
Well, this was astounding. I hadn't really connected with these books before, so this was a bit surprising. Three of Princess Meredith NicEssus's guards have been accused of raping someone from King Taranis's court, but this is thrown by the wayside when King Taranis brutally attacks Merry's people through a mirror. But that's not all: in a strange event that I didn't understand, Merry receives her most devastating blow yet, and even though it comes with good news she can't be merry. (What? Someone had to say it.) But King Taranis isn't done with Merry yet. Unfortunately, it takes a while to get to the good stuff: I was reading but not particularly immersed until circa page 200, so the bulk of the action happens in the last 75 pages. There were moments when I was pissed off with Merry: she used magic to get a human doctor to do her bidding. And talk of Merry's favourites seemed to be quite an issue. Quoth Merry: 'Wasn't I entitled to have favourites?' Yes, you are, but if you're still shagging your non-favourites you're leading them on, and that's not nice. Those points aside, this is by far my favourite of the Merry books.

loved it!
on October 20, 2007
Format: Hardcover
I've always been impressed with Ms.Hamilton's ability to show you that there's beauty to be had in the dark as well as ugliness in beauty.Lick of frost is no defferent.I truly prefer this series to the anita blake books.
This book actually made me cry.And angry.A lot more surprises than the others. I can't see there been very many more in the marideth gentry series which is very unfortunate. As always the book read very fast but worth taking the time to slow down and savour.

For an extremely comprehensive chubby chaser section.
Nothing very interesting, inventive or hot about these four scenes. The women are chunky, but not grossly obese. Best of the group is Byron Long's double-insertion (dick and dildo) with a large black woman. Credits are incorrect; Katanya Blade is in the vid but not the credits.

Kevin Pietersen, struggling with a calf strain, has been retained, but James Taylor has been added to the squad as cover for the Test, which begins on August 1.
Spinner Monty Panesar, who bowled tidily against Australia in the tourists' warm-up match at Sussex, has been added, as has Surrey paceman Chris Tremlett, who has not represented his country since January 2012.
Steven Finn has been dropped from the squad altogether, as has fellow seamer Graeme Onions.
Despite the change of personnel, if Pietersen has recovered from the calf problem which prevented him fielding at the end of the second Test at Lord's, England could yet go into the third Test unchanged.
"The players worked hard at Trent Bridge and Lord's to get into a very good position in this Ashes series," said national selector Geoff Miller, "but will be fully aware that there is still a great deal of cricket left in the series.
"The players have had some time this week to recover following back-to-back Tests and an opportunity to work on aspects of their game and they will arrive in Manchester determined to build on their performances over the last two Tests.
"Kevin Pietersen is continuing his recovery from a calf strain and he will be assessed by the medical team closer to the start of the Test and we have therefore included an extra batsman in James Taylor who has been in good form for Nottinghamshire this season.
"Chris Tremlett has worked hard to regain fitness and form following a couple of injuries and his performances for Surrey this season have been very encouraging.
"Including an additional spinner in Monty Panesar who has plenty of international experience provides Alastair Cook and Andy Flower with a number of options."
Full Ashes squad for the third Test at Old Trafford: Alastair Cook (c), James Anderson, Jonny Bairstow, Ian Bell, Tim Bresnan, Sutart Broad, Monty Panesar, Kevin Pietersen, Matt Prior (w), Joe Root, Graeme Swann, James Taylor, Chris Tremlett, Jonathan Trott

If Wilshere's latest injury is just a knock, then fine, these things happen.
But if it's a compensation injury you have a problem as when you come back from a long injury like he did, you can change your posture and running style.
This can cause muscle and ligament issues as your body adjusts, and those kinds of problems recur.
Wilshere clearly has the potential, but there hasn't yet been anything that hints to me that he is little more than potential. He has not fully realised it yet for club or country, as he hasn't proved his ability on a regular consistent basis. He hasn't won anything, remember, not one trophy.
Is he another Cesc Fabregas or Emmanuel Petit? We don't know yet and, as of now, he has not shown that level of ability.
Whatever the cause is, I have to say that you must be worried for someone so young to have so many injuries so early.
Coming back from injuries late in your career is more difficult, but by that point you have already hit your peak so – aside from a loss of pace – you can still come back.
But when you have recurrent long-term problems at a young age, the overall impact of the injuries ruins your fitness and hinders your technical development.
You can end up stalling, like Joe Cole and Darren Anderton did, or even worse completely losing your powers, like Michael Owen.
There clearly is long-term potential with Jack because of his youth, but if he's always injured he won't reach it.
And when the team is not performing – like Arsenal's – everyone looks to Wilshere to get things going. Does he really need that pressure at this young age?
He's a big Arsenal fan and he wants to do well for the club and make himself a great player, and there's a danger he tries and pushes too hard and causes himself more long-term problems.
Ideally, he needs to play consistently, with no pressure, to play for himself and his own development as opposed to putting his body on the line for the Arsenal cause.
I think Arsene Wenger is quite good at these things, the way he man manages players and coaxes them to their potential.
But he doesn't really know what Jack's body is going to do. You can do all the tests you want, but some things are out of your control.
Arsenal don't have a chance of getting through against Bayern Munich tomorrow, and there was no point in rushing the likes of Wilshere through for this match.
Now he's been ruled out for three weeks, it's a good chance to see if Tomas Rosicky and Aaron Ramsey can shine in a big game.
While Bayern have several players missing through suspension and injury, the ones coming in are still better than Arsenal's starters so there's simply no point in risking even Lukas Podolski, who is also a doubt.
Arsenal have to go to Munich and score three goals without conceding, which is near impossible on both counts: Bayern's form and consistency is the best in Europe, while Arsenal are currently poor by their standards.
And they don't have the players with the strength of character to 'do a Chelsea' and win against the odds.

I like the secure fit of the gun in the holster. It won't fall out when you bend over. BUT at my local Walmart stores, 2 of them I checked and I think they are all the same in the metro area, they were $19.99.
very comfortable, and easy to use
I use it for my glock 19 and I absolutely love it! It looks cool , fits perfectly and works great! If you're looking for a good holster especially if you have a glock 19, this is the holster to buy.
I am completely satisfied with this holster. The natural movement that you need to grab your gun is the same motion that you need to disengage the lock in order to remove the gun from the holster.
This motion is done with the trigger finger stretched out, like it needs to be when you are holding your gun before you put it on the trigger.
After just a few days, I am removing the gun fast and smooth.
This product exceeded my expectations. It's a comfortable fit at the hip and has a double security feature that ensures the weapon remains in the holster until you decide to draw. What a great value and the site to store shipping was fast and convenient!
What I was look for at half the price of other sites.
Holster is very nice and secure. Will be using it at the range to holster my glock.
Very smooth Draw and Re-Holster.
fit glock 19 to a glove
This holster is amazing - comfortable, well made, light, concealable, and the price at Walmart was almost half of what it cost anywhere else. I love the locking feature!
What a deal!!
I like that the holster has a belt loop on the paddle it is adjustable and fits very well with all my belts. I also like the fact it clicks in and locks so that your firearm can't fall out. Great for tacking to the range or hunting. If you are looking for a concealed carry holster you might wanna get an in the trouser holster.
Great for concealment and exposed. Very happy 2 thumbs up!

I'm guessing that this is because the php I'm trying to use below uses "post_category" which is no longer supported, so my question is what do I replace this "post_category" line with in order to make it work - I can't get my head around the new taxonomy structure.

The Featured Page ID is set correctly. And the page I want to use is setup correctly as well. The thing is that I'm using the Composite Post plugin to display post on that page. The format of the shortcode is [composite category_name="featured" include=""].
When I preview the page it displays the posts correctly. But, the posts do not show when the page is displayed on my home page: just the page title shows and nothing else. I know that the Composite Post plugin is working correctly. So, what can I do to get the page to display the posts correctly on the home page of my site.
Take a look at my site: http://bluelightnow.com. The first title on my home page is the title of the featured page. As you can see, the posts within that page are not displaying.

If we can live without the Alaskan Way Viaduct for four years during construction, a scenario that now appears increasingly likely, why can't we shut it down permanently?
If we can live without the Alaskan Way Viaduct for four years during construction, a scenario that now appears increasingly likely, why can't we shut it down permanently?
If you didn't get laid for four years, does that mean you should do w/o sex forever???
just askin'...
Probably. Especially if your plan to get laid more involves 4 years' celabicy.
"If you didn't get laid for four years, does that mean you should do w/o sex forever???"
What's the motorized transportation equivalent of jacking off?
Erica, that is indeed the question of the day.
Shut down a state highway because Allied Arts wants to put in a fake river through Alaskan Way?
Is the Stranger, on the whole, so soured on the Monorail's demise that you want no transit options for the City at all?
I'm really glad you guys aren't urban planners.
Along the lines of the silly first comment... if you spent four years going to college, why not just not work and go to college for the rest of your life?
Ad Nauseum seems to be the persuasion method of choice. Spew the same party line 7400 times and eventually everyone will believe it.
ONCE AGAIN... Downtown can survive a four year slowdown in business and cargo transport (from the decreased highway capacity; you still seem to think people will magically ditch their cars if they have to sit in traffic for hours) and still come away strong once the viaduct is rebuilt. To make that a permanent change would likely stunt Downtown Seattle's growth and commerce for life, whether or not you got around to building a monorail in 25 years.
The main function of the viaduct is really the commercial traffic: trucks of Class 6 and above. I don't know that the city really can survive it being shut down for more than a few months. No one REALLY does. A study is just that. Reality is something oftentimes quit different.
So Erica: when ARE you going to revisit the topic of THIRD PARTY BILLING (which you wrote about so well in Auugst 2001)? The renters of this city need another article on it. The company which is doing the billing where I live is Sagewater. You said you would, back in December at the Rosebud. I am still waiting (as are those many who suffer with this bullshit). PLEASE just do it!
Napoleon: Since when does a highway qualify as "transit"?
Here's the analogy to demonstrate just how silly Erica's comment is: If we can live without 520 for x number of years while it's being replaced, why do we need it at all? (I myself will probably start looking for another job by the time the state gets around to replacing 520. The commute is miserable enough as it is.)
The sad thing about Erica's comment, and about much of the discussion on transportation issues in this region, is that it could just as well be applied to "good" infrastructure projects (whoever defines "good") as "bad" infrastructure projects. Construction of the new light rail tunnel is going to be incredibly disruptive, and Erica is not sticking that in its face. Nor should she.
When freeways and roads are taken out of commission, people find other ways to work, switch to transit, alternate transportation, or move closer to work. Once people have made those adjustments, they can live with them—obviating the need to bring the road back.
Increased capacity always fills right back up. Gridlock is forever. We need to reclaim the city from cars.
tran·sit ( P ) Pronunciation Key (trnst, -zt)
The act of passing over, across, or through; passage.
Conveyance of people or goods from one place to another, especially on a local public transportation system.
The system or vehicles used for such conveyance.
What is it about "State Highway" that's not clear?
This really is a Lesser Seattle Movement in disguise. "If you tear it down, they will leave." Make the city hell on earth, and everyone with their SUVs will go away, leaving a Green Utopia for those willing to stick it out.
Everyone leaves, and then the local economy disappears, because the people that just left helped drive it. Stores and businesses close. The city becomes a ghost town.
Is that what you want, Napoleon?
And Dan, the ONLY way you get people to switch is to do what Seattle never does when they take passive-aggressive actions like this: you have to get on the TV/radio/newspaper and actively encourage people to take the bus instead, encourage people on the Link line to use it, encourage the people in South King County and Pierce County to use the Sounder (expanding its service would help too).
Even then, it's dubious that pie-in-the-sky theory holds any water. People aren't gonna just say, "OH, I'm sitting in traffic for three hours each way! I should take the Metro bus instead!" Obsevration alone here and in other cities will show that people just don't do that. Plus, people drive not because they love their cars so much as they hate the idea of riding the scummy bus with all those poor, stinky people (their words, not mine). You have to change that perception before you can get people to think the way you want them to.
But since no one's gonna bother to try, the status quo remains. And thus, if you rip out the viaduct, you will effectively destroy this city's economy.
As I've said before--I'm pro-tunnel, with foundations for a viaduct on top of it. ;)
Dan Savage wrote: "When freeways and roads are taken out of commission, people find other ways to work, switch to transit, alternate transportation, or move closer to work. Once people have made those adjustments, they can live with them—obviating the need to bring the road back."
Dan, on the face of it, you're absolutely right on this. But there's the difference between being right and being effective. The surface route is just not supported by politicians or the public.
Either a tunnel or a surface route opens up the waterfront and promotes dense development and public spaces in a prime location. For me, the more promising approach is to try to convince the tunnel advocates to downsize the proposal in some ways, such as capacity.
But here's what's so misleading about the "we can live without it" argument. This debate still comes down to the vision we have for the city. You could just as well argue: Hey, the city has managed this long without monorail or light rail, ergo I guess we don't really need those things either.
There is a logical fallacy at work here.
Generally speaking, yes, adding new highway capacity fails to relieve congestion, because it will fill back to capacity.
This has been a commonplace in urbanist circles since the Long Island Expressway was built some sixty years ago (actually the theory only dates from Jane Jacobs).
That however is not the same thing as saying that REMOVING capacity will not result in congestion there.
Removing an old freeway > preventing a new freeway. There isn't any evidence for it at all.
Everyone likes to point at the Embarcadero Freeway in San Francisco, but the cases are not comparable at all -- the Embarcadero Freeway didn't go anywhere. And you would be hard pressed to find an example anywhere in the world of an urban feature that would be more unwelcome in downtown Seattle than the current state of the Embarcadero. Ugh.
But that's what you're going to get -- only with more traffic, because the route is still critical. Six lanes of SURFACE traffic. Oh, goodie. One of the selling points of the monorail was that it was ELEVATED, and thus lifted the trains above the city pattern. The viaduct is the same way -- that's one of its major functions. It doesn't block the cross streets. All of a sudden, that's not important?
The other function, of course, is knitting the the two halves of the city together with the center. Seattle's geography (narrow-waisted, cut in half there by water) demands this major N-S route.
And, Dan, we've already decided, via the monorail vote, that "reclaiming the city from cars" isn't going to happen. I strongly supported the monorail, FIVE TIMES. (Four city-wide yes votes, and we have LESS monorail than we started with; how'd that happen?). But it's gone now. Not happening. The light rail doesn't serve, will never serve, the side of the city that the viaduct does (and the monorail would have). The examples are clear; ALL of the cities that have built surface-level light rail systems in recent decades have even sorrier results than the cities that stupidly built freeways instead.
So what's the alternative? I'm not hearing anything. "Ignore it and it will go away" is no way to run a city.
And there's still the matter of the effing seawall.
BTW, the People's Waterfront website is full of more BS than George Bush. Salmon habitat (nevermind that salmon spawn in streams, not bayshores) A new Aquarium (with what money?) Healthy shores (in a major downtown?) Working waterfront (which none of these airbrush artists have ever been near). Traffic will disappear! (because the city will go away).
Just because you can draw a picture of a pretty park in Photoshop doesn't mean you can make one on the ground.
The problems with Elliot Bay can't be addressed downtown. The concentration of bad environmental effects in cities is a GOOD thing, because the alternative is sprawl, which is where Elliot Bay and the Sound's problems need to be addressed. The people behind this may be "experts" but they certainly don't have any experience in creating seashore utopias in downtowns -- because that's never been done. The goals are incompatible -- working city downtowns vs. "ecological processes".
Their vision is essentially suburban. It's got nothing to do with a city. It's a nice piece of marketing work but it's not REAL. What they're creating isn't a "lively urban space"; it's an urban death zone.
"Seattle's geography (narrow-waisted, cut in half there by water) demands this major N-S route."
I'd say just the opposite, FNARF: Seattle's narrow waist means *two* major N-S routes are one too many.
I-5 is enough of a scar on the city. Make it double decker, put a lid on it, and link the western parts of the city to it via expressways.
But I agree with you - those Allied Arts visions of downtown are mainly just Green Party pie in the sky.
What's key is making downtown someplace people want to live - and not just work.
- or drive through.
Listen you snip-snarky pseudo-pragmatic, free-blogging pseudo-pundits, when gas is eight motherfucking dollars a motherfucking gallon (2012?) you're going to wish there was some goddamned for sensible way for moving people and shit around then in these bullshit fake armored personnel carriers your nation has been subsidizing. In fact, why the fuck should we subsidize suburban sprawl when we could make the current urban centers chic, vibrant, and rocking in bucks? Why the fuck do I have to get out of the way and pay your fucking middle east security bills so you can plow your humvee to issaquah and back twice a day? The private gasoline powered vehicle is killing America you dumbasses. We need to think differently then the 'conventional wisdom' of the last 50 years or we're fucked you dimfucks!
If we can really do without the viaduct then why spend the money tearing it down? Why not just reinforce or rebuild it? It'd be a lot cheaper than a tunnel.
The viaduct is key for people who live down here in SW Seattle. For those who say, "just move downtown and you won't have to deal with it." We'd love to live in the city as long as we could afford a freakin house and not have to live in some crap ass condo or apt. Hey shit while we're at why don't we just move to Manhattan and we can get all the benefits of living in the greatest city in the world. Come on people please get moderately realistic here.
It's easy to spout Urban Hipster Howl, Mr. Jensen--have you ponied up the $750,000 for a one-bedroom, downtown condominium yet?
False premise Napoleon. I don't have to, as long as there's some other capitalist who see's fit to do so and keeps stoking the perceived value of the town. Me, I'd love to find a more carbon efficient way to make my daily four mile schlepp from Leschi to SoDo. Ten minutes by indigent Nissan, 1 hour twenty minutes by concatenation of bus routes.
Re: West Seattle. I am so sorry the town got bambozzled again by Joel Horn and ilk. But elevated rapid transit is the right solution. We should get over our sense of being trounced (by absurdly tragic leadership - not by logic) and get another elevated solution under discussion. And this time, let's compare to the private cost of operating private vehicles when gas is 300% - 500% greater than present.
I would love to see eight-buck gas. That's the only thing that will give mass transit a serious chance.
But last time I checked, the viaduct doesn't go to Issaquah.
I am a former driver who spent several years as an apartment renter on Capitol Hill, then Queen Anne Hill, but now live in West Seattle. I lack patience with the morons who demand that the viaduct be torn down to discourage driving and promote mass transit alternatives.
How many of them have a clue that each and every commuter express bus between West Seattle (which makes up one-fifth of the city) and downtown runs on the viaduct?
Ugly the viaduct is, not unlike the prison block design of 1950s school buildings, but its current form is a more effective mass transit corridor than any road in the city. Screw the people who want it torn down permanently so the working waterfront can be supplanted by an amusement mall for those few dozen bicyclists and tourists that show up in utopian renderings of the downtown waterfront without an elevated traffic bypass, without a line of ferry traffic at street level, and without a freight train in sight.
By the way, people who warn the viaduct would be destroyed in a 7.0 magnitude quake ought to learn something about the Richter scale. It's based on a geometric scale where a 7.0 quake is close to eight times the magnitude of the 6.2 Nisqually quake that--to the dismay of viaduct haters--did only moderate damage to the current structure.
The vitriol here seems fueled by misinformation. The PWC is proposing fixes to the larger system so that roughly 70 - 80% of the trips currently on the viaduct will be accommodated in the grid, on an improved I-5, and on new transit. This includes more/better access from Spokane St for West Seattleites. You won't be stranded.
It's only 20% to 30% of the trips that are expected to stop happening altogether. This is typical of what has happened in other cities the many many times highway capacity has been reduced. And what happened in the months post-Nisqually quake, when 30,000 viaduct trips a day went away because this many people had a stronger desire to avoid the safety risk than they did for that particular trip.
This broad brush proposal is a first draft for what the fixes might be. It needs to be refined, costed, refined again. It was developed by blending a proposal by a former PRSC transportation planner and the info coming from SDOT on the Central City Access Strategy. Professionals. Very knowledgeable professionals. Whose job it is to care about mobility for both people and freight. And the numbers PWC estimates were blessed by senior staff at SDOT, who basically said "If the EIS didn't prevent study of a systemic multi-modal solution, a proposal just like this would be on the table."
None of the "fixes" the PWC proposes deals with the real problem - getting through downtown from Denny Way to Atlantic Street.
Been on a bus through downtown between 3 and 7PM lately (or, for that matter, I-5 between 6am and 2pm, and from 3pm to 7 or 8)? Wishful thinking is not a transportation strategy.

Whoops! It should be "Why did the

Sorry about that.
Of course, ask WSDOT if you want the official answer. I've heard several hypotheses. One is that there are two basic kinds of projects; simple replacement of a facility, and more complex improvement / expansion of a facility. The former is a narrower EIS, easier to control and finish. The latter requires more exploration of broader set of solutions. They scoped this so it would fit the former because they already knew they wanted to replace the highway, and they wanted to do it fast so they can remove the safety risk asap. (And so the process would be less vulnerable to anti-highway wackos suggesting a multi-modal or non-highway type solution.) I've heard people at the County, at UW, at PSRC, and at the City concede that this was probably a bad call.
Another issue is the legislature put a limitation on state funds so they could only be used for a new highway of equal or greater capacity. Not sure if this was their own initiative, or their highway building friends or the state DOT encouraged them to do it.
Cary, the PWC has no concrete plan for developing mass transit in this city. In fact, I have yet to see a concrete plan of any sort, based on any concrete evidence, probably because you don't know where to begin researching, probably because you don't know the first thing about city economy, transportation corridors and their effect on said economy, and how a city works. You scoff at the civil engineers of the city and the DOT, but they understand how a city works a hell of a lot better than you and Cogswell do.
Thank you, Cary. So at this point, all we have is broad speculation whether or not removing the viaduct and doing
a multi-modal or non-highway is a
viable solution.
It would certainly seem reasonable since the Nickel tunnel option is
currently underfunded (and reported by
some as severly undercosted) that
an EIS study be completed on a multi-modal and/or non-highway solution.
Being a state highway, it is the state's responsibility and liability to replace or not replace the structure. From the state's standpoint, I believe the liability issue is the prevailing concern.
I think the state would want to look at cheaper alternatives, however anything that would impact city streets beyond what would be a direct replacement of the existing highway would require further city and state study and agreement.
I still am unsure just how much input the city ultimately has on the project. This has never been fully discussed. If push comes to shove, the state will start the project without further consideration of the city's wishes. I suspect this won't be more than a year due to the anti-gas tax inititive being rejected and that pesky liability issue.

The location alone is worth the visit, right off PCH1. Cute place, food is good and the beer is well made. Definitely want to go back someday.
dmarsha4 (45) , Australia | March 25, 2016
We dined in the beer garden when passing through in 2012 and it had a great beach atmosphere, good beer and excellent seafood meals. Definitely worth a visit if in the region.
t0rin0 (1516) Do Not Resuscitate, California | July 22, 2014
Not sure how I missed this one since Ive been here multiple times. Actually we used to go here before it was a brewery and it was the seafood place. Nice place but I always hated going as a kid because I disliked (still dislike) seafood. Its a bit different now in that its more hippie. Seems like they should have a surf board hanging above the bar. Oh wait, they do. They also started experimenting with their beer a couple years ago which is nice. When I first went there wasnt much to be had beyond the standard red ale, pale ale, brown ale, etc. Now theyve got barrel aged beers, double IPAs, and they use some of the newer experimental hops occasionally. All that said the beer isnt great, but that can be forgiven if youre going to the brewery to drink since if you can sit out on the patio on a warm day its beautiful.
alagnak (90) Littleton, Colorado | June 30, 2014
Visited on a Sunday late afternoon with the family along with just about everyone else that was headed back to the city from the coast. Busy, busy. Wait was only about 30 minutes @ 3:00pm, and the outdoor seating overlooking the bay is fantastic. Believe there were 8-10 on-draft options, of which we sampled 4 (Hefe, Squirrel belgian pale, Rye Pale and Tunnel Vision). All were just OK, but placed in the atmosphere will get an extra point. Food and location are standouts and portions are ginormous. We didnt feel like eating for many hours afterwards. Fish tacos, for example, was essentially 1/2 a pound of halibut dwarfing the tortilla.
jeremytoni (166) Swedesboro, New Jersey | November 2, 2013
Some decent beers in a great setting.
richie747 (45) Sydney , Australia | October 26, 2013
Nice sunny day, great atmosphere. Service a little slow after lunch, smiles and very friendly. Princeton by sea IPA, with Fish Tacos, and wafting malt aromas from the brewhouse mashing tun! awesome!
bytemesis (754) Sunnyvale, California | March 17, 2013| Updated April 21, 2015
Visited with the family on St. Patricks day - doing a great business. Nice location right next to the ocean, quite large with a mix of indoor and outdoor seating. Small bar area. Running about 10 beers on tap, including a mix of regulars and seasonals. Service was pretty good given how busy they were. Food is pretty good actually, but tourist-pricey. Beers, unfortunately, are only so so. Return April 2015; I dont know if I was just thirstier or if things have improved, but I thought the beer quality was quite solid on this visit.
mike_77 (114) Breda, Netherlands | November 29, 2012
Its a pleasant place to visit, especially sitting outside on a sunny day. The food is pricey but of good quality. Their beers vary in quality but they do have some good ones. Would visit again but more for the scenery and environment than the beer.
csaso (168) Missouri | September 22, 2012
Great little place right on the coast. About 6-8 of their own beers on tap. the 2 I had were both pretty good. Food was outstanding!
joeneugs (222) Livermore, California | July 4, 2012
Visited here a while back while on a beach trip with the family. The place is obviously popular with this kind of crowd. It was full, but not overcrowded on a Saturday evening and the service was okay if a bit rushed. The location is awesome with a view of the ocean from the large patio. This is the place to be in my opinion as the inside is a bit run down. I thought both the beer and the food were average. The beer was particularly forgettable. This seems to be the kind of place that coasts on their incredible location, and Im not a big fan of that. I will have to revisit soon though, because its been a while since Ive been here. It is worth a stop if you want the ticks and a decent place to relax after a day at the beach.

Not on a par with Sitchin's earlier works,
By A Customer
This review is from: Divine Encounters (Mass Market Paperback)
Generally an interesting book although not as illuminating as Sitchin's previous works. The entire book is tainted somewhat by Sitchin's conclusions as to the identity of Yahweh. Sitchin clearly allows his own religious beliefs to influence his conclusion in that regard. There is a complete lack of historical evidence to support Sitchin on this issue and despite his statement (p. 374) that his conclusion is "quite logical on reflection", it is in fact totally lacking in logic. Those who are truly interested in a thoughtful analysis of Yahweh's identity should direct themselves to Alan Alford's "Gods of the New Millenium".

text: Posted January 2, 2013 lol at everyone saying he is not any good and laughing at the Peppers comparison. Y'all must have missed the fact that he was consistently compared to Peppers and called the best prospect to come out of high school this decade during recruiting. Clowney is a freak of an athlete and if you really don't think so then you have not watched him at all. And no, he did not get handled by Lewan. Michigan did a good job keeping the plays away from JD all game long. They ran the opposite way (especially on rollouts), chipped him, double and a couple times triple teamed him, and Lewan held his facemask all game long. And to call this play a missed assignment is not completely correct. If you watch, the guard was pulling to pick him up. Usually the guards have enough time to get to the DE, but Clowney is so freakishly quick that he was already downfield by the time the guard got to the spot. This kind of play happens all the time but very rarely (never) do you see the DE beat the ball to the RB. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bales's revised interaction category analyses (1970) were done from audio tapes of 77 four-person discussion groups: 46 mixed-sex groups, 15 female groups, and 16 male groups. Each group discussed three cases for a total of 35 minutes. The hypothesis tested was that females in mixed-sex groups would suppress their level of "task" contribution and engage in higher levels of "socioemotional" contributions when compared to the performance of women in one-sex groups. Males were also predicted to become more sex-role stereotyped in mixed-sex groups, showing the opposite effect. Results showed large sex differences, regardless of group composition, in the direction of traditional sex roles. The effect of group composition, however, was opposite to that predicted. An effect of an experimental intervention during the second discussion topic on subsequent sex-role performance was also found. Implications for education are discussed.

Kristol Floats Revived 'Project For A New American Century' To Support Neocons In The Wilderness
In 1997, Bill Kristol and Robert Kagan co-founded the Project for a New American Century, a neoconservative organization meant "to promote American global leadership" through "military strength and moral clarity." The organization, whose statement of principles was signed by right-wing luminaries such as Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld and Paul Wolfowitz, is largely credited with putting America on the path to a preventative invasion of Iraq.
In an interview with Hugh Hewitt yesterday, Kristol said that he would like to set up a similar organization to operate during an Obama presidency:
HH: And I think he will be very concerned with the two issues I'm going to raise with you – national security and immigration. Now I believe the Committee On the Present Danger filled a need in the 70s which we need to reorganize an equivalent now. But what do you think, Bill Kristol?
BK: Oh, I agree, and we did a little of that in the 90s with the Project For the New American Century. And I actually think there are people talking about this. And there's a lot of good foreign policy and defense thinking on our side, the Fred Kagans and Bob Kagans and Reuel Gerechts of the world, Victor Davis Hanson, et cetera. But a little bit of a political organization for them wouldn't be bad. And I think we should support Obama, incidentally, if he does the right thing.
Listen here:
Not surprisingly, two of the conservative foreign policy thinkers mentioned by Kristol, Bob Kagan and Reuel Gerecht, were employed by the original PNAC. Fred Kagan and Victor Davis Hanson are currently at the American Enterprise Institute and the Hoover Institution, respectively.

I'm painting a mobel home with Bair premeium semi gloss paint. The sliding on the unit is textured and has ribs (High and Low)running verical. The roller did't work well, in trying to apply the paint in a verical method. But when i went to a smooth surface the rollers did a fine job. To sum the thing up if you are painting a flat textured surface they work fine.

fabulous product
By jb te amateur
from seminole fl
I used these to paint over a laminated dresser. I first applied a primer/sealer with these rollers then the paint. They apply the paint very evenly and are easy to reload with paint and apply it. I did rinse one out to see if it would really get clean. It did! But for the price, it's jut as easy to buy new foam rollers. Thank you Harbor Freight!
Awesome rollers
By Boatman
from Oc ca
I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of these rollers. I used them to apply epoxy and fully expected them to fall apart, leaving bits in the surface. But they held up GREAT. I'd have no reservation using these on a finer paint job. At the price, they are a no brainer!
Good enough

Special Order
In this pithy, inspiring book, Pema ChOdrOn presents the Buddhist concept of "shenpa," which can be translated as "getting stuck" or "getting hooked." "Shenpa "arises in that moment when life suddenly becomes disappointing, difficult, or painful. Perhaps someone criticizes your work, your appearance, or your child. Something within you tightens, shuts down. That's "shenpa." After we tighten, we instinctively start to blame ourselves or others. We might get angry and lash out at others in words or actions. Or we might reach for a cigarette, a drink, or some other addictive substance to numb our pain. ChOdrOn shows us that our habitual reactions to life's difficulties keep us locked in cycles of suffering.
In "Taking the Leap" she shows us a new way of responding to life's upsets: learning to stay present. Rather than habitually running from life's hurts, you can actually stop and open your heart, thereby discovering true courage and compassion. This book presents "the four R's" of working with "shenpa" recognizing, refraining, relaxing, and resolving. With her characteristic warmth and encouragement, Pema ChOdrOn offers transformational teachings and practices that readers can immediately put to use in their daily lives.
About the Author
Pema Chodron_ is an American-born Buddhist nun and the author of many spiritual classics, including When Things Fall Apart (Shambhala, 2002), The Places that Scare You (Shambhala, 2004), and Taking the Leap (Shambhala, 2009). She serves as resident teacher at Gampo Abbey Monastery in Nova Scotia and is a student of Dzigar Kongtrul and the late Chogyam Trungpa. See pemachodronfoundation.org.
Sandy Boucher, writer/teacher/consultant, participated wholeheartedly in the Women's Liberation and antinuclear movements. Twenty-five years ago she entered upon a Buddhist path and soon became a spokesperson for Buddhist women in America, as well as a teacher and meditation retreat leader. In 2006, she was named an "Outstanding Woman in Buddhism" at the United Nations in Bangkok, Thailand. Author of eight books and recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts fellowship in Literature, she earned a Masters degree in the History and Phenomenology of Religion at the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley, California. She has traveled widely in Asia, and spent a period as a Buddhist nun in Sri Lanka. She has been pursuing her Vipassana meditation practice for 25 years, and has been teaching writing and meditation almost as long. She serves as a contributing editor to Persimmon Tree, an online literary magaazine by women over sixty. Most recently, she published a book about the Theravada Buddhist pioneer teacher Ruth Denison, called Dancing in the Dharma.

Man Shot to Death in Biggie's Favorite Diner
The two men got into an argument at Brooklyn's Country House Diner.
Notorious B.I.G. immortalized one of his favorite eateries, and his order of "a T-bone steak, cheese eggs and Welch's grape," in the song "Big Poppa," but now the Country House Diner is in the news for a much sadder reason. Early on Sunday morning, 34-year-old Jason Lewis was shot and killed after he got into a fight with a drunk man at the Clinton Hill restaurant, according to the Daily News. Witnesses say Lewis intervened after 27-year-old Tyrone Gainer grabbed a woman in the diner, and Gainer hit him in the face. "Why'd you smack me?" Lewis said. "We don't have to shed blood for this." Then Gainer allegedly whipped out a .22-caliber handgun and shot Lewis in the heart. Gainer has been charged with murder, criminal possession of a weapon, and criminal use of a firearm.

Nieuport 17 hosting chefs for 'pop-up' dining
[caption id="attachment_151607" align="alignright" width="203" caption="Photo courtesy Nieuport 17"][/caption]
Recently, Nieuport 17 owner Cameron Irons noticed that some of his private rooms were going unoccupied a few nights a week. So in popped the idea of a pop-up restaurant.
He made a few calls, and soon the Aviation Restaurant was born. Tustin's landmark fine dining restaurant has been hosting guest chefs at its� restaurant since November. � Rotating chefs serve guests in the restaurant's private dining room -- a small "pop-up" eatery now being marketed as� Aviation Restaurant on Facebook.
It's a win-win for Irons, and his guest chefs. Nieuport 17 doesn't have to fuss with new menu ideas, as Aviation entices new diners with a special menu served in a private area of the restaurant. � (Note: The main dining room of Nieuport 17 remains open during the pop-up event.)
"It's a restaurant within a restaurant," said Irons.� "It allows our customers to try new things without me having to change the menu drastically in the main restaurant."
Aviation's first chef was Chef Rick Boufford, who ran the now closed Black Sheep Bistro in Tustin. � Boufford, who left his landmark bistro more than a year ago, returns this month with� Aviation dinner parties on Thursday (March 15) and March 22. On March 30, "pop-up" master, Chef Ryan Carson, is bringing his popular Pri-ve restaurant to Aviation.
Irons said Aviation is only open when a guest chef is available and booked. The menu is entirely at the discretion of the chef and the price of the dinner is based on the cost of the food.
"We split the food cost, the labor… and I split the profit with the chef," Irons said.
The guest chef� must bring in at least 25 guests to their dinner. "The driving factor is whether they have a following," Irons said.
Dinner begins at 7:30 p.m. or 8:30 p.m. and ends around 11 p.m. � Menu pricing varies. Carson's dinner, for example, is $100 for a seven-course meal with wine pairing.� Boufford's upcoming March 15 dinner is $75 per person for a four-course meal. � At all seatings, guests dine from a communal table.
"It's one long table. It's like what you would imagine in a castle, with the king at one end and the queen at the other and candelabrums� in the middle," Irons said.
Irons said foodies who meet at the pop-up often become dining buddies and return again for another feast.
"It's like an art gallery for food. I own the gallery, but the artist is the chef that comes in and displays his art," Irons said.
- To stay up to date on when Aviation will be open, go here.� Reservations are required.
Address: 13051 Newport Ave.
List of upcoming Aviation events:
March 22: � Chef Rick Boufford, former chef-owner of Black Sheep Bistro. Where: Aviation Restaurant. Address: 13051 Newport Ave. Info: Details, and times vary. Go to Aviation's Facebook page for more information: facebook.com/ aviationrestaurant or call 714-731-5130

Each of the four scenes begin with some hot girl-on-girl action, but once they're juicy, in steps an uncredited stiff cock whose lone goal is to slide in and out of each of the six female orifices. The order makes no difference as the women accept the cock in any manner, whether it's slicked with ass juice, pussy juice or saliva.
The marathon sex is nonstop from start to finish, and amazingly, every insertion is wonderfully caught by the camera. All of the women are sexy, gorgeous beings and look mighty lovely stacked on one another. Fans of anal gaps will also smile. The pacing of the sex is erotically methodical.
