Tenacity or Trouble?
My colleague can bring his Lab into work. Of course, since I own a pit bull, my dog isn't welcome in public any more. But that's better for everyone, or is it? In an excellent New Yorker article, Malcolm Gladwell explores the logical fallacies inherent in the pit bull ban:
The process of moving from the specific to the general is both necessary and perilous. A doctor could, with some statistical support, generalize about men of a certain age and weight. But what if generalizing from other traits—such as high blood pressure, family history, and smoking—saved more lives? Behind each generalization is a choice of what factors to leave in and what factors to leave out, and those choices can prove surprisingly complicated. After the attack on Jayden Clairoux, the Ontario government chose to make a generalization about pit bulls. But it could also have chosen to generalize about powerful dogs, or about the kinds of people who own powerful dogs, or about small children, or about back-yard fences—or, indeed, about any number of other things to do with dogs and people and places. How do we know when we've made the right generalization?

The USC Trojans were looking to put together a historically great recruiting class despite being limited in the number of scholarships they could offer. However, early commits reconsidering and struggles on the field in 2012 have eaten into what looked like an all-time great class in August. The class took another hit as four-star wide receiver Sebastian LaRue has removed himself from USC's 2013 recruiting class.
Originally announced on LaRue's Twitter, the talented wideout's decision opens his recruiting back up with several teams pushing to sign him. He has already taken visits to the Ohio State Buckeyes and Washington State Cougars with visits to the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and Texas A&M Aggies scheduled. LaRue had always planned on taking the visits to South Bend and College Station even though he was signed with the Trojans, but now the trips take on added importance for the schools as the receiver is now available.
There is a bit of a rush for the fifth official visit between several teams that would love to bring the receiver in. USC is still technically in the mix and LaRue has expressed interest in the Washington Huskies and UCLA Bruins, as well a number of other schools who have offered him a scholarship. The 5-foot-11 recruit says that he will take his time to evaluate each program to try and make "the best decision" for him.
According to LaRue:
"I'll just try to make the best decision for myself. SC, you know I really love SC. It's not like I'm going to rule them out completely, but I had to take a step back from the whole thing, and make sure I'm making the best decision for myself as far as where I'm going to college. That's the main reason I'm doing it.
"Some of those things I'm trying to figure out are just what's the best place for me in general, just as far as … where I fit in, really, on the offensive side of the ball, or a program in general, where I fit."
Reports are that LaRue soured on his commitment to USC because he wants to start at wide receiver next fall as a freshman. One area the Trojans are deep in is receiver and it was highly unlikely LaRue would see the kind of playing time that he wanted.
The wide receiver brings a combination of athleticism, speed, route-running and good hands to the field that will make him a highly sought recruit this winter. Several teams will likely find a place for him in their starting lineup next season (or at least promise to), meaning it's very unlikely LaRue will go back to Lane Kiffin and the Trojans.
ESPN ranks LaRue as the No. 150 overall recruit in the 2013 class and the No. 13 wide receiver in the class. He is a senior at Santa Monica High School and has been invited to The Opening, the Nike sponsored football camp, and the 2013 Under Armour All-America Game.

Health Park Pharmacy in Raleigh, North Carolina, started working with some of the State's most complex "medical at-home" patients in early 2007. In an effort to support this growing population of patients, Health Park started adding a number of supportive services including: medication synchronization, montly phone calls from a "health coach", compliance packaging, and care coordination for post-acute care patients in transition from hospitals and rehab facilies.
Maury Regional Medical Center (MRMC), located in Columbia, TN, is the largest medical center from Nashville to Huntsville, and was recognized by Truven Health Analytics as a '15 Top Health System' in 2015. The Center operates three hospital pharmacies, an outpatient oncology clinic pharmacy, and serves 275 beds throughout middle Tennessee state. In their search for a new pharmacy solution and already limited by space constraints, they identified a key requirement—a system that would allow them to barcode products for bedside medication verification.
With tighter reimbursement and increased regulatory and service requirements, it was identified that control of labor and inventory costs must be addressed while also maintaining accuracy and enabling the ability to grow the business. Forum and TCGRx have worked together to implement pharmaceutical packaging and electronic imaging technology for unit dose and multi-med needs, inventory management, and secure medication storage. The results have allowed Forum to grow and sustain their operations while lowering costs and driving accuracy.

Hollywood studio Warner Bros. is fighting off a real-life nemesis as the penultimate film of the Harry Potter teen wizard series begins screening at theatres around the globe — namely an online file-sharing site that has posted a large chunk of leaked footage.
A 36-minute excerpt of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 was "stolen and illegally posted on the internet" earlier this week, Warner Bros. said in a statement.
"This constitutes a serious breach of copyright violation and theft of Warner Bros. property. We are working actively to restrict and/or remove copies that may be available. Also, we are vigorously investigating this matter and will prosecute those involved to the full extent of the law."
The film, the first of a two-part finale based on J.K. Rowling's final Harry Potter novel, opened in some European theatres on Thursday and continues to unspool at cinemas around the globe through Friday.
Industry watchers have predicted a blockbuster opening weekend that could set new records for the hit franchise.
The first six films have earned more than $5.4 billion US at the global box office, according to the box office revenue tracking website Box Office Mojo. The book series has sold more than 400 million copies and been translated into more than 65 languages.
Dan Fellman, Warner Bros. U.S. distribution chief, forecast that the film's box office will surpass $100 million US during the opening weekend in Canada and the U.S. alone.
"This one is heading north of $100 million," he told Reuters, adding that he believes it will also be the first Harry Potter film to make more than $1 billion US worldwide.
The second half of the final tale is slated for release on July 15, 2011.

Dick Wagner Sail Past – On Sunday, May 21, there will be a Sail Past honoring Dick Wagner. It will leave The Center for Wooden Boats at 5 pm, led by the Virginia V, and travel west to east, north along the east side of Lake Union and then west down the Ship Canal to pass The Old Boathouse, where the idea of CWB was born. Then the flotilla will return to CWB. I thought the Floating Homes residents might want to know about this since Dick was a past-president of FHA. There also are Open houses at 3 pm at CWB before the flotilla and again at 7 pm after the boats return. Colleen Wagner and her sons will be present. Questions to Judie Romeo, Assistant to the Founding Director, The Center for Wooden Boats, 1010 Valley St. Seattle, WA 98109
Lake Union Buoys – Message from Jim Holmes, project manager at the city – "My apologies for not getting back to you sooner. At this point we do not have a date for buoy installation. We are awaiting final approval from U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. They are experiencing a severe backlog, and are unable to give us a time frame approval. When they are installed they will be a single line of five buoys that will flash during takeoff and landing. Boat traffic will be encouraged to stay clear at that time. Compliance is voluntary and there will be no enforcement."

New FHA Board Members
Thank you to everyone who came along to the FHA annual General Meeting on Wednesday, and to our sponsors for their support of the event. There was a great turn out, drawn in part no doubt by the wonderful food Sue Jostrom and Susan Chatlos-Susor provided. There were excellent presentations from Puget Soundkeepers and the Harbor Patrol. Our President, John Leness, gave an update on the issues the FHA Board is currently working on, and the new board was elected. We said farewell to Mike Dellario, Libby Kutcipal and Joyce Black. New Board members elected at the meeting are Tom Campbell, Courtney Cooper, Raanan Schnitzer, Janet Williams and Elliot Wolf. You can read all about them and the rest of this year's board here – http://seattlefloatinghomes.org/board-of-directors/ . Committee membership will be decided at the next board meeting.
Puget Soundkeepers Alliance – as well as updating us on upcoming sweeps, dates for which you can see here , Puget Soundkeepers also gave us permission to share the letter their attorney sent to the relevant parties regarding legal action resulting from Phase One of the Aurora Bridge painting project. The letter from their attorney is 19 pages long, you will need to click on the arrow at the bottom of page one to advance to the next page. You can view it on the Westlake News section of the website, along with details of the WSDOT Phase 2 Open House on Tuesday June 13th. When work begins on the project, Puget Soundkeepers and the Harbor Patrol said to contact them if things go awry.
Harbor Patrol – As well as asking that floating home owners call 911 in the event of an emergency, so that all calls are logged and routed through the central switchboard, the harbor patrol mentioned how handy it is when docks have their number posted on the end of their dock. Bill Albert recently got a sign made for his dock by FastSigns who have locations in the U District and downtown. The Harbor Patrol officers also seconded the suggestion of another FHA member, that floating homes invest in air horns so that they can wake residents up easily in the event of an emergency. If you need to call Harbor Patrol after you have called 911, or if you want to report a non emergency like obstructions to navigation in the water, you can reach Harbor Patrol on 206 684-4071. You will find other important contacts on our website here. Harbor Patrol didn't have any more info than we do about the Lake Union Navigational Buoys – everything is waiting on the USACE to issue a permit; we are waiting to hear back from Jacalen Printz at USACE and Jim Holmes in the city planning dept.
DNR Leases – John Leness and the FHA Legislative Committee is working with the DNR who wish to replace the existing variety of DNR leases with a single template for all lake residents and businesses. One FHA Member asked at the meeting how many people have leases and when they expire. The FHA does not have this information, but if residents want to tell us drop an email to email@example.com and we can compile a list.
Dick Wagner – Sad news from Westlake. Dick Wagner passed away last week, aged 84. For those who did not know Dick, he was on the Floating Homes Board starting in about 1972 and became President in 1976 and then again served on the Board after stepping down from the presidency in 1978. He lived in one of the oldest historic houseboats on Westlake at the Old Boathouse moorage. and started renting small boats from his dock in the early 1960s. He later moved the boats to the Center for Wooden Boats where he continued to run the center for many years. You can read his Seattle Times obituary here.
Making the Cut – Making the Cut is a group of organizations, institutions, and individuals working to commemorate the centennial of the Hiram M. Chittenden Locks, the Lake Washington Ship Canal, and the lowering of Lake Washington. You can find more information about the organisation, the history of the ship canal, and the events and programs they have planned here – http://makingthecut100.org/
Ballard Locks Celebration – The USACE is celebrating the centennial of Chittenden Locks in Ballard this year. Lots of events have been organised, and you can see the details on their website starting May 5th and running through the end of July. You can read more here http://www.nws.usace.army.mil/Locks100/
Finally, as I mentioned at the meeting, if you are not already a member of the FHA we would love you to join. You can read all about why that's a good idea here and you can sign up online here. We are especially interested in getting docks to sign up as a group, and offer a 10% discount to encourage you. Please email email@example.com if you would like to find out how to do that.

Tour Info About Portage Bay
The Floating Home Association presents the 2016 Floating Home Tour on Sept. 11, from noon to 5 p.m. We need volunteers! In exchange for your service, you will receive a free ticket to the tour. Please sign up at here seattlefloatinghomes.org, or contact Erik at firstname.lastname@example.com. Among other things, volunteers will be asked to make sure that visitors stay on the tour route, and may place signs and/or orange cones in front of docks or areas of docks that should not be accessed.
This year the tour takes place exclusively in Portage Bay. The FHA has not offered tours of homes in this neighborhood for fifteen years, and we ask for our neighbors' understanding and support of this event (including the added brief density the afternoon will bring). To mitigate traffic and parking concerns, ticket holders are informed of limited parking at Queen City Yacht Club as well as Pocock Rowing Center, and are encouraged to please take mass transit. We will also place a 'no tour parking' cone at the head of Portage Bay Place East and Fuhrman Ave. East. This is being billed as a walking tour. If you have any specific concerns and/or would like to let the FHA Tour Committee know that you would like to have a "not on tour" sign placed at the head of your dock, please contact: Tour Director – Sue Jostrom email@example.com 206-455-4494
Please remember this is the FHA's one and only fund raiser, and supports the FHA for two years. And if you are fortunate enough to live on a floating home, please keep in mind the good and necessary work the FHA has done and continues to do on behalf of its members.
Thanks for your help, neighbors! Hope to see you on the 11th.

Portage Bay Pruning And Fairview Bridge Issues
Portage Bay Place East
between the Eastlake Ave E underpass and the end of the street
Tue. Aug. 30 and Wed. Aug. 31 7 AM – 3 PM
*Weather permitting
At the times and location listed above:
- SDOT crews will prune overgrown vegetation and trees in the right-of-way. This work will improve access for fire trucks and other emergency vehicles responding to homes on Portage Bay Place E.
- Nearly all parking on or adjacent to the street will be restricted.
- 72 hours before the work starts and parking restrictions begin, all areas of parking restrictions will be designated by "NO PARKING" signs on the street.
- Parking will be allowed outside of the work hours (e.g. Tues. evening/night.)
- Because this street is very narrow, private vehicles need to be removed to provide space for equipment and to eliminate any potential for damage to private vehicles during the work.
- The street will be closed to all traffic.
If you prefer to prune your trees or vegetation yourself or to hire a contractor, please complete the pruning by Monday, Aug. 29.
- For information on how to get a tree pruning permit or how to prune your trees, please visit: www.seattle.gov/transportation/treeplantapp.htm or call 206-684-TREE (8733).
- In Seattle, vegetation management and private tree pruning in the right-of-way is the responsibility of the property owner. If you cannot trim vegetation and prune your trees by August 29, SDOT will complete this work once as a courtesy. Future, continued maintenance is the property owner's responsibility.
We thank you for your cooperation and apologize for any inconvenience.
It is imperative to provide lifesaving emergency vehicles access to your property. The Seattle Fire Department inspected the area with SDOT to determine the need for this work.
Fairview bridge issues
The Seattle Department of Transportation plans to totally demolish the Fairview Avenue North bridge (actually two connected bridges) and build an entirely new one. For what SDOT plans to do, see the project web site. The Eastlake Community Council is concerned that the SDOT alternative is in conflict with recommendations it received from outside engineers that SDOT consulted with about how much of the bridge to demolish. You read all about the issue here http://www.eastlakeseattle.org/?page=fairviewbridge

Attempted Burglary & Memorial Service
Paul Kraabel Memorial
Paul Kraabel, former Seattle City Council member and Council President passed away on Friday. He was active in drafting and getting the floating home Equity Ordinance passed in the early 1980s. The ordinance was to protect floating home owners from moorage owners who were using the de facto monopoly to unreasonably raise moorage rates and threaten evictions. He later moved to the floating home community. A memorial service will be held 2 pm Sunday, August 21st at the Broadway Performance Hall, 1625 Broadway at Seattle Central College.
Portage Bay Attempted Burglary and Home Invasion
Near the University Bridge, around midnight on Friday, August 12, an older floating home owner happened to be awake when she heard a noise on her deck. She was having work done on her home and, thinking a tool fell over, she went outside and found a young man who said he was "looking for some friends… and for the office for the floating homes." At first she thought he was just confused and told him where the Eastlake office is. He left quietly, but afterwards she realized her shed had been opened and tools laid on the deck, ready to be stolen.
A few minutes later, a person believed to be the same man went to an adjacent dock. There, he entered a floating home whose door was open due to the warm weather. He was more than 10 feet inside the home when confronted by the owner, who jumped up and yelled at him to leave, which he did.
SPD arrived within 10 minutes, searched the area, but found nothing and no one. Thankfully, neither incident resulted in more than a good scare. Unfortunately, the potential for a much worse outcome was very real and troubling.
Please remember:
- Day or night, be mindful of doors and windows left open, especially during warm weather.
- Crime can increase in areas where construction is going on, both because there are strangers around (who aren't challenged because they're assumed to be workmen or women) and there will be tools in the area (and may attract thieves).
- Trust your gut! If you see something, say something. Call 911, and then call Harbor Patrol (206-684-4071)
- If an unknown person knocks on your door – don't open it. Talk through the door.
- Consider installing motion-sensitive lighting.
- Post your address in clearly visible reflective letters/numbers that can be seen from both land and water so first responders can find you.
- Report all crimes to SPD, even ones you consider inconsequential. That will help when SPD is making decisions about future police resources.
More information can be found at:http://www.seattle.gov/police/prevention/information.htm
Thank you, and stay safe.

Pruning On Portage Bay
Where: The Entire Length of Portage Bay Place East
When: As early as Monday Aug. 29
As early as August 29th, SDOT crews will prune overgrown trees and other vegetation in the right-of-way of the entire length of Portage Bay Place East (from Furman Ave E just west of Eastlake Ave E to the dead end near E Allison St.)
This work will maintain access for fire trucks and other emergency vehicles.
If you prefer to prune your trees or vegetation yourself or to hire a contractor, please complete the pruning before Monday, Aug. 29.
- If you are pruning trees growing in the street right-of-way, a tree pruning permit is required. Tree pruning permits are free if no specialized equipment is used.
- For information on how to get a tree pruning permit or how to prune your trees, please visit: www.seattle.gov/transportation/treeplantapp.htm or call 206-684-TREE (8733).
In Seattle, trees and other vegetation must provide 14 feet of clearance above the street. Vegetation management and private tree pruning within the public right-of-way is the responsibility of the property owner. If you cannot trim vegetation and prune your trees by August 29, SDOT will complete this work once as a courtesy. Future, continued maintenance is the property owner's responsibility.
By mid-August we will provide the exact date of the pruning work.
On the day of the pruning, there will be no parking on or adjacent to Portage Bay Place. Because this street is very narrow, private vehicles need to be removed to provide space for equipment and to eliminate any potential for damage to private vehicles during the pruning work. We apologize for this inconvenience; it is part of the process of providing access to emergency vehicles to your property.
Thank you for your cooperation!

Lake Union Float Plane Navigation Buoys
The revised plan has been published by US Army Corps of Engineers and the public comment period is open until August 9th. US ACE is having website issues, but you can send your comments to Darren Habel, Project Manager, Regulatory Branch, Seattle District Corps of Engineers firstname.lastname@example.com. You can see the revised plan on the FHA website here. There are four pages so you will want to use the arrows in the bottom left corner to view them all.

Lake Union Float Plane Navigation Buoys
The US ACE will be posting this in their website this afternoon (http://www.nws.usace.army.mil/Missions/Civil-Works/Regulatory/Public-Notices/). There will be a public comments opportunity until August 9th. Hopefully they will include the link to that as well. This is what the revision says:
REVISION: This revises a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers/Washington State Department of Ecology
Joint Public Notice dated August 19, 2015.
The corrected information is as follows:
Based on comments received, the design for the proposed project has changed. The revised proposal is to install five navigational buoys to demarcate a seaplane take-off and landing zone. The previous design was to install eight buoys to form a "box" area for planes to take-off and land. The new design has the five buoys in a line, so the planes can take -off or land on either side of the buoys. Each buoy would be equipped with lights and signage and prior to take-offs and landings the pilot will activate the buoys to advise boaters that a seaplane is attempting to take off or land. Based on lake traffic, the pilot will determine where the plane will take-off or land. The buoys would be located in depths of up to 35 feet and connected by galvanized metal chain to a helical screw anchor. Installation would take place from a boat or barge, utilizing divers. No excavation or fill is proposed. In addition, the buoys will be placed seasonally, to avoid Muckleshoot Tribal fishermen. The buoys will be installed within 5 days of Memorial Day and removed within 5 days of Labor Day. In the event of a summer Tribal fishery, the buoys will be removed and re-installed once the fishery has concluded. All other information shown on Public Notice NWS-2014-1186 remains unchanged. You can see that here
Lake Elevation – No news is good news!
We received this message from Bill Dowell of the US ACE:
What is boils down to is you haven't heard from us because there is nothing to report, no news is good news. As of today, Lake Washington's level is about half a foot higher than the same day last year. That 6 inches means a lot and really the differences have been, we're getting some rain and the cooler temperatures. I can assure you we're still keeping an eye on things — having monthly meetings, looking at forecasts and verifying operating procedures. Even though we initially had concerns, the weather has been cooperating. We understand and value the floating home community as a stakeholder and I will continue to communicate to you.

FHA Newsletter Archive
I have added Bill Keasler's archive of FHA newsletters to the website here. The newsletters provide a fascinating insight into more than 50 years history of Lake Union, as well as the floating homes – the development of gas works and the street end parks, the holiday cruises on the Virginia V, the start of sea plane rides to Vancouver, the problems with managing the quality and elevation of lake water, and the constant struggle of the houseboat owners to stay on docks. Did you know that FHA membership Dues were $12 a year in 77, the same buying power as $47.73 in 2016? Just goes to show that belonging to the FHA is still a bargain, and if you didn't join up yet it's time to head on over to http://seattlefloatinghomes.org/membership/!
Portage Bay News – Lois Loontjens has provided an update about the Red Robin development and a social opportunity which I have posted on the Neighborhood News section here http://seattlefloatinghomes.org/portage-bay-neighborhood-news/. If you have news from your part of the lake do let me know so I can share!
Old Growth Cedar Logs
Joan Rosenstock will be demolishing 2 floating homes to make room for 2 new ones that she's built in Canada on concrete floats. They will be brought to Portage Bay on September 29, and the old growth cedar logs will be available to whoever wants them from October 1 – 3. Joan can be reached at 206-550-4323 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Floating Homes Tour Update
Planning for this year's tour is going full steam ahead thanks to the efforts of Sue Jostrom who has signed up twelve floating homes in Portage Bay as well as the University Bridge House. A huge thank you to those of you who have volunteered your homes – the tour would not be possible without you! More details will be available later in the month and tickets will go on sale on July 25th here. Volunteers are required on the day to help the event run smoothly; if you are available we would love you to sign up here.
Portage Bay Place E News
The developer has prepared a new plan set and has responded to the City's requests for correction and information. On July 8, Seattle City Light issued a correction notice: the proposed building does not meet minimum clearance requirements from the overhead secondary service line which serves the adjacent building; the service must be relocated at the project's expense.
Once the developer has made all corrections, the Seattle Department of Construction and Inspections (SDCI) reviews the corrected plans, prepares a Master Use Decision document and publishes the decision. You can read more here
Chiara Carcano's Photos
Chiara Carcano visited some of the docks at the time of the summer solstice to take photos for the 2016 Long Shot organised by the Photographic Center Northwest in June. Chiara very graciously allowed us to share her beautiful photographs. You can see them here
The Floating Homes Association website has been getting a bit of a makeover. The menus have been rearranged and we are in the process of updating the content. A search tool has been added to the home page to make finding information easier. If there are things you would like to see on the website please let us know.
News of Raccoon Activity from Alix Wandesforde-Smith
A neighbor was attacked on our dock (Wandesforde Dock) last night by raccoons. She is okay but we want to spread the word so folks can be on alert.The attack occurred at about 10:50 pm as she was walking back to her house with her dog. One came out from under the dock initially and then another came out shortly after the first. They started biting her and she tried to flee as quickly as possible. There may have been a third, but she isn't sure as she was trying to get away from them as fast as possible. She carries bear spray but was unable to get to it before they started biting her.
They did not bite her dog, they only bit her and as a result she had 18 injections between lidocaine and rabies treatment, plus a few stitches. She had seen a large raccoon on her deck in the afternoon so please be alert during the day and at night. She estimates the raccoons were 20-30 pounds each, but the one she saw during the day was a bit larger.
She called the Fish and Wildlife office who indicated there was nothing they can do but recommend someone to trap and euthanize the raccoons. She adds that the person she spoke with was surprised to hear there were raccoons and wanted to verify they weren't otters. That seems odd since we've had attacks in our neighborhood throughout the last year that have been reported. Can anyone who has set out traps recently let us know who you used and what the results were? You can send information to firstname.lastname@example.com
Email Addresses
Please can you ask the other residents on your dock if they received this email. If they did not please can you forward it to them? We would like to include all floating home residents and owners in our communication. To be included please either send contact details (name, dock, email address) to email@example.com or subscribe to this mailing list here.
Sun, Jul 03, 2016: You will find 4th July Planning Information from the Eastlake Community Council here, and a rather useful map of tomorrow's parking opportunities courtesy of Curt Milton of Eastlake Social Club here. As with any great party there is always the cleanup of your back yard afterwards. For Seattle floating home residents, Lake Union is are back yard and, as stewards of the lake, everyone is invited to help out. Between 10:30 a.m. and 12:30, join other volunteers in cleaning up our streets and shores after the fireworks and crowds. Meet at Louisa street-end park to pick up empty bags and drop off full ones on Fairview Avenue E., a block south of Roanoke Street. A picnic lunch will be available at Lake Union Park following the cleanup. Signup (not required) here where you can also find info about cleanup efforts over water (some kayaks are available to borrow). Please pass this email on to your neighbors and remind them that they can subscribe to our mailing list here.
Fri, Jun 17, 2016:
Notice of Violations Survey
In response to an unusually large number of notices that the city issued to owners of floating homes late last year and widespread confusion about what work requires an exemption under the shoreline act or a permit we are monitoring Department of Construction and Inspections (DCI formerly DPD). If you have received a Notice of Violation (NoV) either last year or this, it would be helpful if you would fill out the form you using the link below. Please note that the FHA cannot provide legal advice to homeowners at this time.
FHA Private Facebook Group
In the spirit of embracing social media, and to give floating home owners and residents an opportunity to share information with each other privately we have set up a closed Facebook group for floating home owners and residents. This is in addition to the open, public FB page which you will find here. Membership of the private group is by invitation only, and only members can post to it or see posts on it. I will be sending an invite to everyone whose email address we have in our database. Floating home owners and residents who do not receive the invite can go tohttps://www.facebook.com/groups/SeattleFloatingHomesAssociation/ and click on 'Join Group' to request membership.
Updated FHA Committee Membership
If you are a floating home owner or resident you are eligible to join a committee! You can view details of the committees here http://seattlefloatinghomes.org/committees/ Please email the chair of the committee you are interested in joining or email email@example.com to be put in touch.
Portage Bay Update
The latest update from the Portage Bay Place Neighbors and Friends (PBPN & F) has been posted to the Seattle FHA website. You can read it here http://seattlefloatinghomes.org/portage-bay-neighborhood-news/
Update the FHA Website Photos
We would love to update some of the images on the website. If you have relevant photos that you would be willing to share please send them to email@example.com
Email Addresses
Please can you ask the other residents on your dock if they received this email. If they did not please can you forward it to them? We would like to include all floating home residents and owners in our communication. To be included please either send contact details (name, dock, email address) to firstname.lastname@example.com or go to http://seattlefloatinghomes.org/subscribe/ to subscribe to this mailing list.
Mon, May 09, 2016: As a result of the partnership FHA has been building with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, we are able to bring you the latest information regarding lake levels. After a really good start, the lake is currently at elevation 21.8 feet, typical for early May and consistent with normal annual operations. However, because of recent dry conditions and forecasts, and significantly earlier than normal snowmelt, Corps water managers intend to complete refill by mid-May instead of the usual June 1 target date. Getting the lake to 22 feet is extremely important since every inch of water in the 2-foot operating band is needed for fish passage, lockages, and managing water quality throughout the season. Vessel owners should closely monitor lake elevations and adjust mooring lines as necessary. Look out for updates on the Seattle FHA website as we go through the summer.

it's annoying that people think the OP is a tramp just because she left her ex for another guy. people change. people grow up. people meet other people. maybe she found someone she had a better connection with. there's no sense in staying with someone just for the sake of staying with them; if you suspect you'll be happier with someone else, go for it. don't cheat on your SO, but also don't cheat yourself.
By happyhak | 5
"...I left him for someone else,..." That shows that either you cheated on him or you thought "This other guy is cute, now I suddenly don't like my loyal, sweet, caring boyfriend!" I hate people like you, OP. You think you can date someone to fill that empty void you call your life then you throw them away after using them. The only reason you're complaining is because your greedyness backfired. Fuck you, OP, you deserve no sympathy and I hope your ex-boyfriend enjoys your vacation.

"...I left him for someone else,..." That shows that either you cheated on him or you thought "This other guy is cute, now I suddenly don't like my loyal, sweet, caring boyfriend!" I hate people like you, OP. You think you can date someone to fill that empty void you call your life then you throw them away after using them. The only reason you're complaining is because your greedyness backfired. Fuck you, OP, you deserve no sympathy and I hope your ex-boyfriend enjoys your vacation.

39- you're awesome!! i think OP's ex agreed to go to spite her, great way for revenge...
39, wtf is wrong with you?! Yeah I hate it when people jump from a break-up to someone new, but did you even consider that he might have cheated on HER, so she had a good reason to get away from him, or had been abusive, or in some way completely disrespectful and, quite frankly, a douche? No, you didn't. There is not enough context to just make these YDI claims, so screw you.
sarcasticbitch | 7
why do you assume that the op was the bad one in relationship? seriously 39 get some brain. how do you know that the ex is not some crazy stalker or that he was accualy not nice to her and acted like a tramp. if you would accually read op said that the break up was bad so maybe ex is not so loving. in addition how do u know that the op was like chris brown and she left him for someone who values her more. anyway op has the right to decide with who she wants to be with. and if the ex should recognize that if she left him that means that he does not have a chance. fyl op. btw 39 I take pity upon your stupidy.
sarcasticbitch | 7
*op's bf was like chris brown
*why *DO her parents like him. dumbass. and how would they know exactly what happened? say she got cheated on; what, she should run crying and screaming to her parents? "mummyyyyy he put his penis in another woman's vagina, waaaa"? : oh, wait, is this what you do? run crying to your parents? you know, some people keep relationship trouble between the two people IN IT, not share it with the whole world. take your small dick outta this thread, you ignorant dipshit.

Look everyone has their own reasons to believe what happened. Especially when someone goes through such an event. The OP never fully stated out why exactly it was a rough breakup, yes maybe he was abusive, maybe she was cheating on him, but only they know because it is their life. Apparantly the parents are unaware of the situation entirely or they agree with the ex boyfriend over their daughters decision. Either way, this isn't a contest to see who can interpret this FML better than another. I can see 39s point and I can also see yours Lexa but neither of you are wrong, nor are either of you lunatic for your own understanding. There really is no reason to bark at people for this. I may get barked at but I hope a few of you may also see my point.

what's wrong with that? Didn't you guys agree to stay friends?
Whydoyouask | 11
Well, I'm just using logic, so forgive me if my opinion is too crazy, but you'd think maybe the OP might have mentioned something about her ex being a douche to her parents either during her relationship, or after they suggested invinting him to the vacation. I have to agree with #39 here.
right #90 and if he cheated the outcome is telling every one to get them to hate him. Abuse is hard to fathom also. Picture this, she comes home with a black eye her parents look at her go to the phone call her ex and invite him on vacation. I'm no math wiz but something doesn't add up. I believe she feels guilty about wat she did and she has to see him a whole week. That's the fml

What 39 said is most likely what happened here, though 50 is right in that we can't just assume. There is a reason why the parents do like the ex enough to invite him. I realize that most people don't go telling the world about their relationship troubles. However, in this situation, if the ex was the bad one in the relationship, then I think OP should tell her parents exactly what happened.
@96, people who assume too much annoy me, what can i say. semi-colons aren't grammar, last time i checked, so i can correct people's grammar, when they address me, without using correct punctuation. but in fact, the semi-colon was okay there - i used it to separate two different thoughts and sentences. i'm not bitchy, but i will argue a point.

Uh, hate to break it to you Lena, but spelling isn't grammar either. However, both spelling and punctuation are components of the orthography of a language. That's a fun new word for you to learn. :) Also: "...people who assume too much annoy me..." "oh, wait, is this what you do? run crying to your parents?... take your small dick outta this thread, you ignorant dipshit." LOL

39 wins. 50 & 51 suck.
So, 39 and 112, you'd rather your partner stayed with you for the sake of staying, even if they realised you're not right for them? And if they found someone more suites, you'd still rather they stay, with possibility of cheating and lying to you, as opposed to having them tell you truthfully and end it so you still retain some dignity? Well ok, to each their own, I guess.

ummm no i hate to be the barrer of bad news, but #39 your wrong, i didnt care about my ex as much I did and do for the other guy. Im so sorry for the fact i choose to not lie to my now ex and pretend to love him when i loved someone else. And btw why is almost all the people on this page assuming these things? I mean seriously get a life, if all your doing is bashing on my post find something else todo.

53 that shit was too funny "take your vagina emotions out of here"
happyhak | 5
Thanks for the "win" comments, guys :) You win just as much as I do :D xXLenaXx, I'm sure if the boyfriend cheated or abused the OP, she would have included that vital information in. So, why don't you do what #53 said and "take your vagina emotions out of the question"? And to the OP who is bitching about everyone bashing on her "post", I'm sure you're lying to make yourself sound like the better person. Plus, you should've known people would make assumptions since you didn't include enough information in the FML. Oh yeah, and one more thing... OP, you said: "And btw why is almost all the people on this page assuming these things? I mean seriously get a life, if all your doing is bashing on my post find something else todo." First off, this "post" you're talking about is actually something called an FML. And Secondly, well, if we need to get a life for "bashing" on an FML, maybe you need to get a life for posting the FML getting "bashed on" in the first place...
I said it was a possibility, I didn't say that's what most probably happened. People grow out of relationships, and learn that they're badly matched. Or the bf was a douche. Or maybe the OP's a total slut. This FML has very little context from which to just assume she's a whore. You mentioned one possibility, I mentioned another. Sorry if you can't handle that and you have to bring in my gender to make yourself feel better. :)

So you can't lose feelings for someone and find love again then dump the ex instead of cheating? I hate people like you. Narrow minded and think they are always perfect. Love works in mysterious ways dude.. Nothing wrong to break up with someone when you fall in love with someone else..

Agreed my girlfriend cheated on me 5 Motherfucking times
HarleeMae | 6
Why are so many people lacking education today? Over half of the people on this website can't spell worth a shit. It's kind of sad.. And I think it's good that OP left her boyfriend instead of leading him on. That would've been worse. Although I think it's wrong that you left him for someone else, because it probably caused him some heartbreak. I'm saying that because I'm assuming that you guys were together for a while, since your parents like him enough to invite him on the trip. Ugh. I just don't know which side I agree with.

Think You're a Good Judge of Character?
by Rabbi Aron Moss
I met a lovely girl on a blind date last week. We went to the art gallery and had a wonderful conversation. She has everything I am looking for. But she is not for me. There is nothing wrong with her, but I am a very good judge of character and my intuition can quickly assess people. I know when it is right and this time it just isn't. I would meet her a second time just to be polite, but wouldn't that be leading her on?
There is a popular theory that we can know all we need to know about a person in the first few seconds of meeting them. It is a great theory. There is only one problem with it. It is rubbish.
A person is more than meets the eye. We are multi-layered. We have thoughts and feelings, memories and dreams, quirks and foibles. Everyone has a story and everyone has a soul. You can't see all this at first glance.
How many times have you been impressed by someone's first impression, only to be disappointed after a few conversations? And the opposite too, how many people have you met and not particularly appreciated, only to be pleasantly surprised after getting to know them better? Even looks are deceiving. A person who you find unattractive at first can grow on you as their full picture unravels.
I am sure you would agree that no one can know what you are all about by meeting you once. The same goes for others. Don't always trust your instincts. They can easily lead you astray.
Maybe I am wrong. Perhaps you do have an amazing sixth sense and can read people on the spot. But is it foolproof? What if you are right 99% of the time? What if you get it wrong only once? Imagine what you could miss out on...
I commend you for taking the plunge and agreeing to meet her the first time. It is not always easy to put yourself out there. But I think you should give it a second chance, and this time switch off the intuition and see what you find. You may discover that you are actually meeting her for the first time.

The invention relates to a heat pipe for transferring heat, for example, in a spacecraft. The heat pipe includes a conduit divided lengthwise to form at least two channels, one for a liquid heat carrier flow and one for a vaporized heat carrier flow.
Heat pipes are known in the art for transporting heat from one location to be cooled to another location in which the heat is to be dissipated. The need for heat removal exists in many environments extending from electronic circuit boards to cooling a spacecraft. A heat pipe uses a liquid as a heat carrier which is evaporated at the hot end of the heat pipe and the vapor is converted back into a liquid at the cool end of the pipe. Conventionally, ammonia is used as the heat carrier which in its vapor form transports heat from the hot end of the pipe to the cool end of the pipe where the vapor condenses, thereby discharging heat to the environment and the condensate flows back to the hot end of the pipe.
The vapor flow from the hot end to the cooler end is maintained due to the pressure difference between the hot and cool ends. The liquid flow back to the hot end is either a gravitational flow if the heat pipe is positioned vertically or it is a capillary flow if the heat pipe is positioned other than vertically. Different radii of curvature in the boundary surface between the liquid and the vapor at the evaporating hot end, on the one hand, and at the condensating end on the other hand, generate capillary forces which cause the condensate to flow back while the pressure difference between the evaporating and condensating end causes the vapor to flow from the hot to the cool end. The resulting flow velocity depends on the equilibrium that is established between the pressure loss due to frictional forces and the effective capillary forces.
Modern high performance heat pipes are capable of transporting substantial heat quantities over substantial distances even at relatively small temperature differences between the hot and cold end of the heat pipe. For example, one kilowatt can be easily transported over distances from 1 to about 20 m. Higher heat quantities have been transported over shorter distances.
Comparing conventional high performance heat pipes with other conventional heat pipes, the higher performance of the former is achieved in that the transport of the liquid takes place through channels of differing dimensions. In the vaporization zone a multitude of very small channels having geometries for capillary action are used in order to achieve substantial driving capillary forces. In the condensating zone and in the section between the evaporating and condensating zones, the transport takes place through few flow channels and if suitable even in a single channel with a relatively large diameter. Such a large diameter channel may also be referred to as an artery. The just described structure minimizes pressure losses due to frictional forces. As a result, a substantially increased fluid mass flow is achieved even though the capillary forces remain the same. Simultaneously, a substantially increased heat transfer or heat flow is achieved due to the improved mass flow.
In operating such high performance heat pipes, however, a substantial problem is encountered. Such a problem is caused by vapor bubbles of the heat carrier fluid or by gaseous noncondensible foreign matter. Bubbles and noncondensible matter impair the function of a heat pipe substantially or may even interrupt the operation. Such bubbles or foreign matter may have been present inside the heat pipe already at the time of starting the operation and their presence may have been complete accidental. Such impairments may also be caused by an operational overloading of the heat pipe, for example, by superheating the evaporation end of the pipe causing a short duration, temporary drying of the evaporation zone. Resulting bubbles can interrupt the transport of the heat carrier fluid to the hot end of the pipe so that the hot end even dries further, thereby blocking the further function of the heat pipe.
Two conventional heat pipes are described in "Heat Pipe Design Handbook", Volume 1, by B+K Engineering Incorporated, Towson, Maryland, 21204 (U.S.A.), pages 149 and 152. These conventional heat pipes include devices for the removal of bubbles and thus avoiding the blockage of the desired flow by the gas bubbles. In one instance, gas bubbles are avoided by venting bores in the separation wall between the artery and the vapor channel. In the other instance the gas bubbles are avoided by a suction nozzle arranged in the transport area for the vapor. The suction nozzle functions simultaneously as a jet pump for sucking off gas bubbles in the artery through a suction pipe.
The arrangement of venting holes in the wall of the artery has the disadvantage that during the operation of the heat pipe the pressure in the vapor channel is substantially higher than in the artery so that for transferring gas bubbles out of the artery into the vapor channel, the operation of the heat pipe must be interrupted. However, during such interruption the venting bores are blocked by liquid bridges which must first evaporate before the gas bubbles can pass through the venting bores. As a result, such interruptions of the operation of the heat pipe require relatively long time periods before the heat pipe can become operational again.
With regard to the second conventional devices for the removal of bubbles by a suction nozzle or venturi nozzle, there is the disadvantage that, in case there is no gas bubble within the suction range of the suction nozzle, a small quantity of heat carrier fluid is collected from the artery into the suction pipe. If now a gas bubble does appear in front of the suction inlet, it is necessary to first suck in the liquid quantity out of the suction pipe to be able to also remove the gas bubble. The result is a substantial pressure loss in the flow in the suction pipe. As a result, the pressure reduction caused thereby in the suction nozzle is correspondingly substantial. Thus, the nozzle must have a relatively large reduction in the cross-sectional flow area. Such a reduction in turn leads to a substantial impairment of the vapor flow, due to the pressure loss and thus to a substantially reduced effectiveness of the heat pipe.
In view of the foregoing it is the aim of the invention to achieve the following objects singly or in combination:
to construct a heat pipe of the type described, in such a manner that vapor bubbles of the heat carrier fluid and bubbles of a noncondensatable gas are reliably removed from the flow channel of the fluid during the operation of the heat pipe;
to avoid the interruption of the normal operation of the heat pipe for the purpose of the bubble removal, in other words, bubbles are to be removed during the operation of the heat pipe and without substantially impairing the capacity or efficiency of the heat pipe;
to construct a heat pipe in such a manner that it is not trouble-prone and hence highly reliable in its operation;
to assure a completely automatic removal of gas and vapor bubbles during the operation of the heat pipe; and
to avoid the pitfalls of prior art attempts at efficiently removing gas and vapor bubbles from a heat pipe.
According to the invention a heat pipe having a first higher temperature end and a second lower temperature end is formed by a hollow conduit that is closed at both ends and divided between the ends longitudinally by a divider wall which forms a first channel for conveying a heat exchange fluid in its vapor state and a second channel for conveying the heat exchange fluid in its liquid state. The vapor flows from the warmer end to the cooler end and the liquid flows from the cooler end to the warmer end. The divider wall is formed with bulges which reach into the first channel for forming flow restrictions in the first channel for the vapor and for forming an increased flow cross-section area in the second channel for the liquid. The bulges are spaced from one another in the longitudinal direction inside the hollow conduit and through bores are provided in the bulges for interconnecting the first vapor channel with the second liquid channel.
It has been found that the features of the invention have a minimal influence on the maximally obtainable heat transport capacity while simultaneously providing a heat pipe that is highly reliable in its operation. The invention combines venting bores with suction nozzles in such a way that the above outlined disadvantages are avoided while their advantages are utilized.
The heat pipe according to the invention assures a completely automatic suction removal of any gas or vapor bubbles that may occur.
The degassing of the heat pipe according to the invention is possible even during its operation, because the pressure reduction caused by the venturi valve is located directly above the suction bore for the gas or vapor bubbles, whereby the use of a suction pipe is avoided. Avoiding a suction pipe in turn has the advantage that the requirements for the pressure drop necessary for the suction removal in the area of the venturi nozzle are substantially reduced. As a result, any reduction in the efficiency of the heat pipe is also minimized compared to conventional devices.
In order that the invention may be clearly understood, it will now be described, by way of example, with reference to the single figure of the accompanying drawing, which shows a longitudinal section through a portion of the heat pipe according to the invention.
The heat pipe portion shown in the Figure is positioned between the vaporizing hot end of the pipe and the condensating cool end of the pipe. According to the invention, the heat pipe H is divided longitudinally by a divider wall 1, such as a profiled sheet metal member forming a first channel 2 for the vapor flow as indicated by the respective arrows and a second channel 3 for the liquid flow as also indicated by the respective arrows. The heat carrier medium is evaporated at the hot end and travels in the form of vapor from left to right where the vapor is condensed again at the cool end and the resulting condensate or liquid travels from right to left back to the hot end.
According to the invention the divider wall 1 is provided with bulges 4 and 5 which are axially spaced from one another at preferably uniform intervals which have, for example, an on-center spacing of 1 m. The bulges 4 and 5 project into the vapor channel 2, thereby forming restrictions R in the vapor channel while simultaneously forming enlarged cross-sectional flow areas in the liquid channel 3. Each bulge 4, 5 is provided with a through bore 6, 7, preferably positioned centrally at the peak of the bulge and respectively in the bottom of the valley. These through bores have, for example, a diameter of 0.2 mm.
According to the invention the divider wall 1 is further so shaped that the bulges 4 and 5 emerge out of a slightly rising wall section 4A, 5A and merge into a slightly falling wall section 4B, 5B as viewed in the direction of the liquid flow representing arrows in the channel 3. As a result of this construction, the liquid channel 3 has a cross-sectional flow area which increases toward the bulges 4, 5 and decreases away from these 4,5 in this embodiment, whereby the cross-sectional flow area of the channel 3 increases steadily along the divider wall sections 4A and 5A and decreases symmetrically along the wall sections 4B and 5B. The cross-sectional flow area increases with a step where the bulge begins at 4C and 5C and decreases again with a step where the bulge ends at 4D and 5D. The cross-sectional flow area of the channel 3 is smallest at a central point C intermediate the peaks of the bulges 4 and 5. At that point C the cross-sectional flow area of the vapor channel 2 is largest while the cross-sectional flow area of the liquid channel 3 is smallest.
As shown in the Figure, a bubble 8 has collected in the liquid channel 3 below the bulge 4 during the operation of the heat pipe. The bubbles are transported in the direction of the arrows representing the liquid flow until they are collected below a bulge. Simultaneously, the velocity of the vapor flow in the channel 2 is increased next to the bulge due to the restriction R formed by the bulge. These flow velocity increases of the vapor flow take place at each bulge. Simultaneously, with the velocity increase the local pressure above the respective through bores 6 and 7 is correspondingly reduced so that the gas or vapor bubble 8 is sucked off through the bore 6 into the vapor channel 2.
It has been found that bubbles located initially, that is prior to starting the operation of the heat pipe, intermediate the bulges 4, 5, tend to travel toward these bulges and collect below the nearest bulge. Such travel is caused by capillary forces which in turn result from the above described configuration of the divider wall 1 which provides a continuous increase in the cross-sectional flow area of the liquid channel toward the respective bulge as viewed in the liquid flow direction.
Furthermore, the bulges 4 and 5 and the diameter of the through bores 6 and 7 are so correlated to one another that the pressure drop in the vapor channel 2 at each restriction R is so small that liquid in the area of the bulges is not sucked into the vapor channel. Rather, the capillary action keeps the liquid in the liquid channel 3 but permits the bubble to escape into the channel 2.
Rather than placing the smallest cross-sectional flow area of the liquid channel 3 at the point C centrally between two bulges, it is possible to place that smallest cross-sectional flow area at the exit end of each bulge, namely at 4D and 5D so that a continuous steady increase in the cross-sectional flow area does appear between points 4C and 5D, for example. Such an embodiment is especially suitable for the initial operational phase of the present heat pipe, because in such an embodiment the liquid flow and the capillary forces add each other in the same direction whereby gas and vapor bubbles in the liquid channel 3 are most effectively collected and discharged into the vapor channel through the holes 6, while liquid is still retained in the channel 3.
Although the invention has been described with reference to specific example embodiments, it will be appreciated that it is intended to cover all modifications and equivalents within the scope of the appended claims.

This project is a shared-use (bicycle and pedestrian) path that extends the existing Cannonball Path at Fish Hatchery Road to the Wingra Creek Path.
It includes over a half-mile of new asphalt path and a bridge over Wingra Creek. It generally follows the WSOR (formerly Union Pacific Railroad) corridor heading Northeast and turns North to follow along the driveway for Bowman Park and Wright Middle School.
This is the final piece of the overall 4+ mile Cannonball Path linking areas of Fitchburg and Arbor Hills neighborhood with downtown Madison. The overall Cannonball Path project is a joint effort between Madison and Fitchburg, with land acquisition partially funded by Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. Madison is the lead agency for the project from the west line of the Arbor Hills neighborhood to its northern terminus.
The Cannonball Path connects neighborhoods with parks, schools, major conservancy areas as well as retail, commercial and employment centers. It also connects to the Capital City Trail, Southwest Path, Military Ridge Trail and Badger State Trail, making it a key component of the regional network of paths for recreation as well as transportation.
The construction contract includes substantial length of new watermain, not directly related to the path but intended to increase reliability for this portion of the City.
Total length of path is 3500 feet from the north end of the Cannonball Path Phase 5 connection at Fish Hatchery Road to the Wingra Creek Path. This project includes replacing the current pedestrian bridge over Wingra Creek near South Street with a wider and improved bridge.
Project construction is currently scheduled for 2020.
Preliminary cost estimate for construction is approximately $1 Million
