Rose ABSTRACT A ship for the transporation of volatile liquids having holds which contain a number of elongated vessels for containing cargo fluids where each vessel has a primary barrier for isolating cargo fluids from the hull and has an insulating wall. The insulated cargo vessels prevent the absorption of heat by cargo fluids at cryogenic temperatures which could cause excessive loss of cargo by evaporation and prevent a thermal equilibrium temperature of cargo fluids at cryogenic temperatures from affecting the hull of the ship, e.g., by preventing embrittlement of thev hull. A convection barrier connects at least each pair of adjacent vessels positioned opposite the surfaces of the hold to decrease I thermal conductivity between cargo fluids in the vesselsand the hull structure of the ship.
1 Claim, 12 Drawing Figures "mnzemJmEAm-w PATENTEB CRYOGENIC SHIP CONTAINMENT SYSTEM HAVING A CONVECTION BARRIER CROSS-REFERENCES TO RELATED APPLICATIONS This Application is related to the following patent application filed this same day:
1. System for Containing and Discharging Liquified Gases by Stoddard Waldron;
2. Stress-Relieved Vessel for Storing Liquified Gases by Harold B. Bolton; and
3. Cryogenic Ship Containment System by Robert E. Apple.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION This invention pertains to the art of building ships for the transportation of volatile liquids and, more particularly, ships for transporting liquified natural gases.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART The cargo tankers of the prior art for transporting liquified natural gases may be classified generally as either having free-standing tanks or membrane tanks. The classification of ships having free-standing tanks may be further divided into tankers having prismatic freestanding tanks and those having spherical free-standing tanks.
LNG tankers of the prior art having prismatic or spherical freestanding tanks or membrane tanks are subject to several disadvantages. One such disadvantage is a high initial cost of construction. Although freestanding tanks may be constructed remotely from the construction site of the ship, such tanks have a high cost for the material from which the tanks are built. This material may be an aluminum alloy, nickel steel or an alloy not subject to embrittlement at cryogenic cargo storage temperature.
All the insulation systems of LNG ships of the prior art are subject to the disadvantage that their insulation systems are inefficient in that there is a loss of cargo due to the influx of heat to the cargo and subsequent boil-off. The tanks fill virtually all or at least a large portion of a hold. If inspection reveals damage or a structural failure, the tanks cannot easily be repaired. Removal of such a tank from a ship is virtually precluded because the tanks are an integral part of the hull structure, which results in prohibitive repair costs.
Tanks of the LNG ships of the prior art are all to some extent subject to damage during construction. This is particularly true for tanks of the integral membrane tanks.
The tanks are vulnerable in the event of failures such as fractures or ruptures caused by a collision. Again, this is particularly true of membrane tanks. The membrane tank is a tank of large volume not usually loadbearing and is connected to the hull and supported by an insulation system. Free-standing tanks of the prior art ships are also tanks of large volume, although not directly connected and supported on the hull. In the event of a collision, either type of tank would release a tremendous volume-of combustible volatile fluids. Release of a volatile fluid such as LNG from a fracture involves a great amount of risk due to the cryogenic temperature at which such cargo is carried and the extreme flammability. LNG at cryogenic temperature in contact with ships structural members and hull can cause a brittle fracture leading to uncontrollable release of the LNG.
Tanks of ships of the prior art are subject to the disadvantage that the liquid cargo may have an undesirable free-surface effect on the stability of the ship due to sloshing of liquid cargo.
In addition to the general disadvantage of the LNG ships of the prior art discussed above, each of the above-mentioned types of LNG ships has one or more disadvantages with respect to other types of prior art LNG ships. For example, the prismatic free-standing tank has a higher weight than all other types of tanks.
Free-standing tanks, and particularly spherical tanks, require a larger ship to carry the same volune of cargo as a membrane tanker.
Membrane tankers, on the other hand, are difficult to analyze structurally and reliance must be placed upon fatigue testing of components and on small prototype tanks in order to obtain a measure of reliability.
Membrane tanks having a liquid-type secondary insulation barrier have higher cost for insulation than freestanding tankers which may not require a secondary barrier to contain cargo liquids.
Membrane tanks are subject to the disadvantages that they may be damaged by overpressurization of the space between the membrane and the hull.
One type of LNG ship having free-standing tanks is disclosed in US. Pat. No. 3,270,700. The system disclosed therein utilizes a complicated secondary barrier and insulation. Such complexity will result in corresponding initial cost for insulation and for construction. Also, it appears that because the insulation system is removed a distance from cargo liquids, the temperature gradient between the cargo at cryogenic temperatures and the hull at ambient water temperature would exhibit substantial change in temperature across the hull and its internal structure. Such a substantial temperature difference across the hull and hull girders may require a quality of steel above that of mild steel used in conventional tankers and would correspondingly increase the cost of construction.
The above and other disadvantages of the tankers of the prior art for carrying volatile liquid such as liquidfied natural gases are overcome by the ship of the invention which provides a hull having a number of cargo holds; each cargo hold contains a number of elongated vessels for containing cargo fluids. In the preferred embodiment, each vessel has a primary barrier for isolating cargo fluids from the hull and having an insulating wall for controlling the temperature gradient from the temperature of cargo fluids in the vessel to the temperature or the hull; a convection barrier connects at least each pair of adjacent vessels both opposite the inner surface of a cargo hold for decreasing the thermal conductivity between cargo fluids in each vessel and the hull; each vessel is securely mounted within its hold and is connected to a piping system for selectively filling, venting and discharging cargo fluids.
It is therefore anobject of the invention to provide a ship for carrying volatile fluids having a relatively lower initial cost.
It is another object of the invention to provide a ship for carrying volatile fluids having an insulation system with increased efficiency.
It is a further object of the invention to provide a ship for transporting volatile fluids having a subdivided containment system.
It is also an object of the invention to provide a ship for carrying volatile fluids having a containment system which is less subject to damage occurring during construction, or resulting from a collision or grounding.
It is an additional object of the invention to provide a ship for transporting volatile fluids having a containment system which has a uniquely extensive compartmentation and this is more safe and less susceptible to catastrophic failure.
It is one more object of the invention to provide a ship for the transportation of volatile fluids with reduced free-surface effect.
It is a still further object of the invention to provide a ship for transporting volatile fluids having a containment system of relatively less weight.
It is still one more object of the invention to provide a ship for carrying volatile fluids having a containment system which can be structurally analyzed.
It is yet one more object of the invention to provide a ship for carrying volatile fluids at cryogenic temperatures having a reduced cost for insulation.
It is still an object object of the invention to provide a ship having a containment system for carrying volatile fluids which is not subject to damage due to overpressurization of a space between the containment system i and the hull of the ship.
It is yet another object of the invention to provide a containment system which can be used to convert existing tankers and bulk carriers to ships for transporting volatile liquids.

FIG. 2 is a cross section through the tanker of FIG. I at mid-ship;
FIG. 3 is a partial section taken through the hull;
FIG. 4 is a perspective view of a portion of the hull;

FIGS. 11 and 12 are horizontal and vertical cross sections of the same hold showing the preferred embodiment of the invention.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In FIG. 1 there is shown a ship for the transporting of liquid natural gas having a hull 12. Hull 12 contains a number of individual holds 14.
FIG. 2 shows a cross section of one hold 14 containing a plurality of vertically disposed subdivision vessels for transporting liquid natural gas and other volatile fluids.
In FIG. 3 there is shown a preferred cargo subdivision structure, comprising an elongated vessel 16 for transporting volatile liquids which has a primary barrier and a secondary insulation barrier surrounding the primary barrier. In the preferred embodiment, vessel 16 is a double-walled vessel of a plastic material having an inner wall 18 and an outer wall 20 and wall or layer 22 of insulation between inner wall 18 and outer wall 20. Each vessel 16 is in the range of 60 to 120 feet high (90 feet being the preferred height) and has an outer diameter of approximately one dozen feet. Inner wall 18 and outer wall 20 are fabricated from a plastic or other suitable material capable of enduring exposure and stress at cryogenic temperatures, such as F RP pipe. Vessel 16 is designed to be self-supporting. Either inner wall 18 or outer wall 30 may be designed to be the primary barrier for containing cargo fluids and for isolating cargo fluids from hull 12 and the inner surfaces of hold 14. In the preferred embodiment, inner wall 18 is the primary barrier.
Wall 22 of insulation comprises a layer of urethane or other suitable insulating materials mechanically or chemically bonded to inner wall 18. The outer wall 20 serves as damage protection when tanks are installed and used. The urethane or other insulation may include filaments of glass reinforcement for distributing stresses throughout the foam and for eliminating voids. Stresses will arise in vessel 16 due to a temperature gradient from inner wall 18 to outer wall 20 due to a difference in the characteristics of the plastic walls and urethane foam or other insulation when exposed to cryogenic cold temperatures. The thickness and selection of insulation materials and layer 22 is amatter of design choice. Increasing the thickness of layer 22 of insulation reduces the cost of cargo losses due to boil-off but, of course, increases the original cost of each vessel 16. For acceptable boil-off rates, layer 22 of urethane foam insulation will have a thickness in the approximate range of 6 to 12 inches.
Each inner wall 18 comprises a cylindrical mid-body section 24, and upper dome 26, and a lower dome, 28, all of homogeneous material. Upper dome 26 is joined to midsection 24 by weld 30. Domes 26 and 28 may be welded to midsection 24 by applying a material of the same strength and elastic modulus to the joint between the cylinder and each dome. The joint may be made in theforrn of a V-notch extending around the circumference of the dome and the midsection with the end of both the dome and the midsection being beveled to form one side of the V-notch. The notch is filled with a homogeneous material of the same material as the midsection and the domes. Although the weld deposit may protrude above the notch and overlap the end of the midsection and the end of the dome, the weld occurs in the material in the notch itself. This welding technique is well-known in the art of welding pipes and tanks. Inner wall 18 is designed to withstand a pressure of approximately 50-60 pounds for reducing losses due to boil-off and for pressurizing the container to blow it empty rather than pumping out the fluid. Of course, vessel 16 may be operated at atmospheric pressure. The inner vessel can be strengthened by application of spirallywound glass filament.
Flanges 35 may be of the same material as outer wall 20 and may be welded to outer wall 20 to provide a means for lifting vessel 16 into hold 14 and for securing it therein. Each flange 35 has an aperture which may be utilized for lifting vessel 16. When vessel 16 is in place in hold 14, its upper end may be secured by a stay 36 adjoining each aperture and each flange 35, as shown in FIG. 4. A pairof flanges 37 may be mounted on each stay 36 on either side of each flange 35 to prevent lateral movement of vessel 16. Flexibility of stays 36 will permit vertical expansion and contraction of vessel 16 due to changes in temperature. Stays 36 may be metal rods and may be affixed to sides of hold 14 in a conventional manner.
Outer wall of each vessel 16 provides a secondary barrier to isolate liquid natural gas or other volatile liquids carried inside inner wall 18 from hull 12.
The bottom of each outer wall 20 is adapted to be mounted in a base which will prevent lateral movement of vessel 16 and which will permit maximum utilization of the volume of hold 14. The bottom of outer wall 20 has a flat portion for resting vessel 16 on the tank top of hull l4. Vessel 16 is seated in support 38 which has a beveled surface for mating with a beveled portion 39 of outer wall 20. Beveled portion 39 of wall 20 angles from the flat bottom of wall 20 to the vertical sides. Base support 38 provides support in both the vertical and horizontal directions. In other words, both vertical and horizontal loads of vessel 16 are transmitted to hull 12 through base support 38. Support 38 may be a ring having vertical sides, a bottom surface contoured to fit any slope in hold 14 and a beveled inner surface to mate with beveled surface 39 of outer wall 20. The outer diameter of support 38 is preferably either equal to or less than the outer diameter of vessel 16 so that vessel 16 may be positioned. Support 38 may be fabricated or cryogenic steel and affixed to the tank top of hold 14 by welding. Alternatively, support 38 may be of the same material as outer wall 20 and affixed to the tank top of hold 14 by metal bolts and nuts (not shown).
Outer wall 20 may be fabricated from a midsection, a lower dome, and an upper dome in the manner discussed above for inner wall 18. The upper end of outer wall 20 tapers into a neck 40 which is coaxial with neck 34 of inner wall 18.
Consider now the single orifice in vessel 16 for filling, venting and discharging. Neck 40 of outer wall 20 terminates in a flange 42. A flange 44 is welded to the end of neck 34 of upper dome 26. A plug 46 having a hold 48 is welded inside the top end of neck 34. Stay tube 50 rises upwardly from the bottom of inner wall 18 and projects through hole 48 in plug 46. Stay tube 50 includes a tubular midsection 52, and upper fitting 54, and a lower fitting 56. Upper and lower fittings 54 and 56 may be cast and are each welded to tubular midsection 52. Tubular midsection 52 is welded to plug 48. Stay tube 50 is supported on base 58 and spacer 60. Base 58 may be cast as a part of lower dome 28. Lower fitting 56 of stay tube 50 is spaced from base 58 by means of spacers 60. Lateral movement of stay tube 50 is prevented by the shear strength of bolts 62 and nuts 64. Each bolt 64 threads in a hole in base 58, a spacer 60, and a hole in lower fitting 56.
Filling and discharging of vessel 16 is accomplished through stay tube 50. Utilization being of stay tube 50 to fill and discharge vessel 16 is discussed in detail below.
Vessel 16 also includes fitting for the venting of boiloff from liquid cargo. Neck 34 of upper dome 26 includes aperture 66 for venting boil-off. A fitting 68 for connecting to a piping system is mounted between flange 44 and flange 42. Fitting 68 is supported by gaskets 70 and 72 and is held in place by bolt 74 and nut 76. Fitting 68 includes a sleeve 78 through which the bolt passes. Boil-off vapor flows out of aperture 66, around sleeve 78 and out of fitting 68. A pair of fittings 68 may be connected to neck 34 on opposite sides to facilitate the venting of boil-off vapor into a piping system.
Operation of vessel 16 as a pressure vessel will impose vertical stress on inner wall 18 as a function of the vapor pressure within the vessel. Stay tube 50, in addition to serving as a means for filling and discharging the vessel, will withstand such vertical stress. Stay tube 50 resists vertical stress because it is firmly connected to both the upper and lower ends of inner wall 18. Vertical stress would otherwise place an undesirable load on welds 30 and 32. Stress may be relieved from welds 30 and 32 by prestressing stay tube 50 by an appropriate amount of force. In other words, stay tube 50 may be connected in tension between plug 46 and base 58.
There is shown in FIG. 4 a plurality of vessels 16 each having a primary and an insulated secondary barrier separated by a layer of insulation, a piping system 80 for filling and discharging the vessel 16, and a piping system 82 for venting vapor from each vessel 16. Cargo fluids are loaded through piping system 80 under pressure. Piping system 80 is also used to discharge cargo fluid. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, cargo fluids are forced from each vessel 16 by the pressure of inert gas applied through the vapor-removal piping system 82. One example of a source of inert gas is a pressure vessel 83 which is isolated from the remainder of the vessels by a pair of valves 84 and 86. Valve 88 is opened to permit boil-off to be exhausted by a suitable means (not shown). An inert gas such as nitrogen may then be loaded into the isolated vessel 83 through pipe 89. To discharge the remaining vessels 16 it is only necessary to close valve 88 of the vaporventing system and to open valves 84 and 81. Valve 84 then permits the nitrogen to exert a pressure on the cargo fluid in the remaining vessels 16. Opening valve 81 permits liquid cargo to flow to a shore-based receiving means (not shown).
Turning now to alternative embodiments of the invention, there are a number of combinations of elongated vessels and insulating'means for controlling the temperature gradient between liquid cargo and the vessels and the temperature of the ships hull that are within the scope of this invention. For example, there are several different types of insulated vessels; there are numerous possible arrangements of cargo vessels utilizing both insulated vessels and uninsulated vessels of the prior art; and numerous possibilities for filling in all or a portion of the void space between the vertical vessels and the inner surfaces of the cargo hold in which the vessels are supported.
In FIGS. 5-9 there are shown five alternate embodiments of insulated vessels. Any one of the vessels shown in FIGS. 59 may be either an atmospheric vessel or a pressure vessel. In FIG. 5 there is shown a vessel comprising a wall 102 and an inner layer 104 of insulation. Vessel 100 may be formed of a pair of end domes and a tubular midsection in the manner described for inner wall 18 of vessel 16 above. Insulation layer 104 is an inner layer in contact with cargo liquid and is impervious to volatile liquids such as liquid natural gases.
In FIG. 6 there is shown another vessel 106 comprising a wall 108 and a layer 110 of insulation. In this embodiment wall 108 is an inner wall in contact with liquid cargo and is the primary barrier. It may be of a material described above for inner wall 18 of vessel 16. Layer 110 of insulation may be urethane foam.
In FIG. 7 there is shown a vessel 112 comprising an inner wall 114 and an outer wall 116. A plurality of spacers 118 of the same material as walls 114 and 116 are utilized to maintain walls 114 and 116 in a spaced relationship.
In FIG. 8 there is shown a vessel 120 having an inner wall 122 amd outer wall 124, similar to the embodiment of FIG. 7, plus an inner layer 126 of insulation such as urethane foam. Walls 122 and 124 are maintained in spaced relationship by a plurality of spacer rings 128.
In FIG. 9 there is shown a vessel 130 having an inner wall 132 and an outer wall 134, similar to the embodiment of FIG. 7, plus a layer 136 of insulation which is outside outer wall 134. Walls 132 and 134 are maintained in spaced relationship by a plurality of spacer rings 138.
Each of the embodiments of FIGS. 6-9 may be constructed in the manner described above for inner wall 18, outer wall 20, and layer 22 of insulation of vessel 16. Either the inner wall or the outer wall may be designed to be the primary barrier, preferably the inner wall.
In FIG. 10 there is shown a cross section of an elongated vessel 140 which has no insulation. Such vessel may be utilized in conjunction with any combination of vessels 16, 100, 106, 112, 120 and/or 130 according to the teachings of the invention in the manner described below.
In FIGS. 11 and 12 there is shown yet another embodiment of the invention wherein the outer group vessels around the periphery of a hold 14 are vessels having insulated walls such as vessel 16, or, alternatively, 100, 106, 112, and/or 130. The outer group of vessels surround the inner group of vessels 142.
Each vessel 142 may be an insulated vessel such as vessel 16, or the other above-mentioned insulated vessels or, alternatively, it may be an uninsulated vessel such as vessel 140. Where vessels 142 are insulated vessels, insulation between the vessels may be omitted, as shown in FIG. 11. Each insulated vessel 16 is connected to adjacent insulated vessel 16 by a convection barrier 144. Convection barrier 144 comprises a rib which may be of the same cryogenic material such as plastic from which vessels 16 are made. Convection barriers 144 should be somewhat flexible to permit the vertical expansion of each vessel 16 as a function of temperature changesuFIG. 12 is a vertical cross section of the hold 14 of FIG. 11 showing convection barriers 144, a top layer of insulation 146 covering the vessels and a bottom layer of insulation 148 insulating the vessels 16 and 142 from the tank top of hold 14. The insulated vessel 16. and convection barriers 144 control the temperature gradient between the temperature cargo fluids in vessels 16 and 140 and the temperatures of hull l2 and internal structures betweenhull l2 and the 8 cargo vessels. Thermally isolating the cargo vessels l6 and permits the use of mild steel for hull 12 and internal hull structures without danger of embrittlement of the steel by exposure to cryogenic temperatures.
Each convection barrier 144 may be cast from a foam material such as urethane foam in a shape which interfaces and fits the contour of each vessel 16. Each convection barrier 144 may be held in place between a pair of adjacent vessels 16 by a suitable adhesive. Convection barriers 144 decrease thermal conductivity between cargo fluids in all but the outer group of cargo vessels directly opposite a surface of hold 14 and the structures of hull 14. Thermal conductivity is reduced because air or other gas circulating around these vessels inside the outer ring of vessels joined by convection barriers cannot reach the surfaces of hold 14 and thus cannot affect the temperature of the hull structures by convection.
Of course, the vessels 142 may also be of the type of uninsulated vessels 140 shown in FIG. 10 and discussed above.

Incense or Incarnata?
Please help me ID this plant. The fruits are now the size of jumbo eggs but aren't ripe yet. I think the flowers are too dark for incarnata. What do you think?
Here is a link that might be useful: Webshots Album
I would guess Incarnata. Doesn't look dark enough for Incense, also Incense just seems fuller to me.
Leaves would be helpful, Incarnata generally has three lobed leaves (although this can be variable). Incense (in my experience) only has five lobed leaves (if the leaves are mature).
I agree with jblaschke
To be certain check out the petiole glands and see text in para 3 at link below.
Here is a link that might be useful: Passiflora incarnata
Thanks everyone for your replys. I have never tasted a passionfruit so now I can't wait for the fruits to ripen! I also have granadilla, several mollissima seedlings and another one that the name tag faded, when it blooms I'll need help with the ID on it. I can't wiat for it to flower, the folige is really different than the others and it is growing like crazy! Has anyone seen this one on ebay, is it really as rare as they say?
Thanks again! You guys are always very helpful.
Here is a link that might be useful: Passiflora parritae on ebay
Yes, p. parritae is VERY rare, but I didn't know it had become extinct in the wild. Isn't it gorgeous?
I wouldn't offer a bid on it, because it would be silly for me to kill it - it needs to be grown in the coastal PNW. This is one plant I might move for! :)
That's one of my favorite varieties, too bad I can't grow it here. Our summers are just too hot. I didn't realize that it was extinct in the wild either though I'm not surprised. Plant and animal species are becoming extinct in the wild at an alarming rate. I've seen it for sale a few times. That particular Ebay seller offers some great plants but his bids go way out of line. I've bought several of the plants he's offered from other vendors for much less.

Have you heard of "Sahlenweidli", a Swiss TV-series dedicated to the Swiss author Jeremias Gotthelf, who lived in the 19th century? The series was such a success, that farmers in the Emmental Region decided to propose lodging possibilities reminiscent of Gotthelfs times.
A team of "half-crazed" people designed each one of the eight rooms in a different style, skillfully and gaily combining latest technologies with rustic Baroque interiors.
This hamlet, part of St. Martin, is located at the bottom of the valley near the confluence of the Val d'Herens and Val d'Hérémence.

My DD first molar has just broken through. She is still misearable though. Anyone know how long it takes for the molars to grow in? Also, I can't get her to open her mouth enough to see if the others are about to pop through. Do they typically all come in about the same time?
First Year Molars
Comments (1)
Posted 05/04/2009
I am going through the same issue. My Dr. said it could take weeks. My son is miserable, and the Dr. said his top molars have cut through about half way, but I can't see them. Try making her laugh really hard so her mouth opens then hurry and pull up the lip - that is what I did. :)

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used as credit towards that service with that business for an additional three months.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher as credit towards a bungy jump, for another three months.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

According to our web hits and downloads, the most-read story in EW this year was a story about the other paper in town … The Register-Guard. More precisely, it was our story "Reporter Fired for Checking Email?" about the termination of popular reporter Serena Markstrom Nugent while she was out on pregnancy disability leave.
That article not only was the most read on our website — it also generated a lot of national attention, with mentions on the journo news site Romenesko and a tweet by NPR's media correspondent David Folkenflik.
M Three Timber Company, 767-3785, plans pre-harvest hack and squirt, spraying Polaris AC on 31 acres near an unknown fish-bearing stream off of Lynx Hollow Road. See ODF notification 2014-781-08761 or call Brian Peterson at 935-2283 with questions.
Ketchup (from the 17th-century Chinese kôe-chiap or kê-chiap): the Rs in Congress will be playing it for the next two years, and BO in Washington will be rampant.
• Oregon's minimum wage goes up 15 cents an hour to $9.25 in January, thanks to a ballot measure in 2002 that tied the minimum wage to inflation. But of course an extra $26 a month in pay won't bring Oregon's estimated 72,000 working-poor households out of poverty. Seven out of 10 poverty-level families have at least one parent who is employed, often full-time at minimum wage or above. The Oregon Legislature in 2015 is expected to try to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour and Republican die-hards will object, saying thousands of jobs will be lost.
We understand why private investors are motivated to build student-housing complexes. College enrollment is predicted to grow and the projects pencil out as profitable even if they are not filled to capacity, particularly if tax breaks are involved. Once built and operating, they can be sold to other big-time investors to cover costs and pocket a few million bucks. But what we don't understand is why they are designed to accommodate only single students for the life of the building, say 40 to 50 years.
• Friends of Trees will be planting native trees and shrubs from 8:45 am to 1 pm Saturday, Jan. 3, near Beltline in the grassy field northwest of Elysium Avenue and Providence Street. Email email@example.com or call 632-3683 for more information. No preregistration required and gloves and tools will be provided. Weather is expected to be chilly and clear that day.
A seafood stew, cioppino or bouillabaisse can be an expensive and labor-intensive undertaking to put together, but with my recipe I present a different version of this extraordinary holiday entrée.
I wanted to make this easily accessible to a new cook but also offer an affordable dish (just under $30) and wrap it up in about an hour. I'm calling it Goldfish Stew.
Originally out of Austin, Texas, the now The Dalles-based musician Ben Ballinger says if he had to pick another artist's song to introduce himself it would be Frank Sinatra's "My Way." The song's words and melancholy tone, alongside a fierce determination, resonate with him, he says.
Don't hate Alexander Cardinale because he has it dialed in. The songwriter, who also sometimes goes by Xander, is coming off a tour with Melissa Etheridge. Cardinale says the exposure afforded him by touring with an established artist like Etheridge was intoxicating. "It's a performers dream to get to take over a huge stage and have use of full expression," Cardinale tells EW.
Coty Hogue grew up in a small Montana town of about 850 people with a music-loving family, but the notion of making a living performing for an audience wasn't part of that experience.
There are more than 2,000 homeless persons living in Lane County, and I'm one of them.
Our sleeping shelters include the Eugene Mission, women and family shelters and Egan Warming Centers when it's cold. Due to the magnanimous decisions of city and county governments, a few outdoor refugee camps have been approved for tent and car camping. A constantly moving, unauthorized Whoville — rightfully flying an upside-down American flag — is also an alternative place to sleep.
What is your stance on maintenance sex? I'd never thought about the issue until reading Amy Poehler's new memoir. I didn't find anything she said controversial, and was surprised when this quote blew up in the feminist blogosphere: "You have to have sex with your husband occasionally, even though you're exhausted. Sorry." I'd never realized many people firmly believe one should have sex with their partner only when they are in the mood! Some articles even made it sound like maintenance sex is a form of nonconsensual sex.
I hunkered in my chair, rolling behind the desk, periodically gazing down through grimy windows 17 floors above Eugene's winter-wet streets. Derelicts and "travelers" huddled in the park, smoking, yakking, looking to score, ducking cops. Through the pebbled glass on the office door, I caught sight of a deformed shadow. The door creaked open.
Tim Burton's Big Eyes falls firmly into the you-can't-make-this-stuff-up camp, which seems appropriate for a director best known for making all kinds of wonderful things up.
I'm a sucker for A Charlie Brown Christmas, and as a kid I managed to tune out the whole birth of Christ thing at the end and just focus on that sad little tree becoming beautiful once everyone comes together to decorate and nurture it (and nurture Charlie Brown himself).
The holidays, whether you celebrate Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, Christmas, Winter Solstice or don't celebrate anything at all, bring a focus on giving — sometimes it's the crass commercialism bemoaned by Charlie Brown, sometimes it's gifts of love or kindness and, sometimes, it's because you just realized the year is about to end and it's time to donate and get a tax write-off.
Whatever your reason for giving, donating or volunteering, Give Guide is our annual offering of local nonprofits worth giving to.
When Pastor Erin A. Martin first arrived at Wesley United Methodist in 2006 to fill a part-time staff role, she says the congregation was aging and in "self-preservation mode."
"They were more worried about keeping the lights on and filling the pews and not necessarily looking outside of themselves," Martin says. "What I've tried to do in my leadership is to help them understand that they're not dead yet; God isn't finished with us yet, and in many ways we're coming back to life by serving those outside of ourselves."
The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) may sound like a sci-fi TV show, but they're actually the name of Oregon's new science standards for public schools, passed earlier this year. Is Eugene School District 4J ready for them? Well, not yet. Not even close.
Late in the summer of 2013, Lane County closed a protest camp in the Wayne Morse Free Speech Plaza leading to one of many recent debates on the nature of free speech and whether a government agency can shut it down.
In a Dec. 15 ruling on a motion to dismiss, Municipal Court Judge Karen Stenard writes that the closure in this instance was not unconstitutional under Oregon law. She writes there were "legitimate health and safety concerns." Activists disputed those concerns at the time of the closure and in the months afterward.
Local group Predator Defense has devoted a large part of its 25-year existence to putting an end to Wildlife Services, a federal agency that traps and poisons predators. Data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture shows Wildlife Services killed more than 4 million animals in 2013. Recently Predator Defense's documentary, Exposed: USDA's Secret War on Wildlife, which delves into the federal agency Wildlife Services, won high praise from noted primatologist and UN Messenger of Peace Jane Goodall, who writes, "I hope it will be watched by millions."
"We've been pretty busy these last couple days," says Mindy Beer, who created Pay It Forward Cottage Grove a year ago with her daughter, Jennifer Neil. As Christmas approaches and the weather has turned colder, people have turned to Pay It Forward to give and receive everything from baby formula to refurbished bicycles.
Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) sent Lane County a warning letter last month for low pH levels in water pollution discharged from Short Mountain Landfill. Low pH means discharges are acidic, and low pH was observed in both initial and follow-up sampling.
• Our Give Guide has expanded from less than a page in years past to the multiple pages you see this week. Eugene is home to hundreds of nonprofits doing exceptional work locally and around the world, so our list is far from complete. Why are we such a thriving center for nonprofits, much more so than other communities our size?
Where would Jesus eat? Many local restaurants will be closed Christmas Day. Among the businesses that will be open is Agate Alley Bistro & Bar at 1461 E. 19th Ave., but only from 5 to 10 pm so the staff can have Christmas morning off. If you are planning on dining out anywhere Christmas Day, we recommend calling ahead and leaving big tips. Going to the coast? We once showed up late and ravenous for a Christmas buffet at a fancy hotel near Depot Bay and found only scraps of salmon and halibut, but plenty of mystery meat, soggy broccoli and cold potatoes.
A woman with mild developmental disabilities finds herself in an abusive relationship with a man who is also the father of her 8-year-old daughter. Tired of the physical violence and verbal abuse, she files for a restraining order and has the man removed from their shared apartment in a Section-8 housing unit.
"We had an amazing world-lit teacher who introduced us to Greek literature," says Johanna Mitchell, who was then a high school senior in Miami. "There was a lot of mention of planets. That's astrology!" Mitchell went to a bookstore and found Sun Signs by Linda Goodman. "I devoured that book," she says. "I knew then that astrology was a vocation." She spent a year at the University of Miami, but dropped out to protest the Vietnam War, and for 10 years worked at retail jobs in fabric and jewelry stores in Iowa City and Berkeley.

In 1979 the world of Sunni Islam was in a state of drift and confusion. The Shia were enjoying a political triumph in Iran with the rise of Ayatollah Khomeini; Egypt had become the first Arab country to recognise Israel; and Islamist militants had seized Mecca's Grand Mosque, holding worshippers hostage for nearly two weeks during the annual Hajj pilgrimage.
When the Soviet Union committed troops to Afghanistan later that year, the conflict offered Sunni Islamists salvation and a cause that was their own - often with the blessing of Arab governments. The man who did more than anyone to lead and inspire this Sunni resurgence was Azzam. It was he who led the initial trickle of Arabs who went to support the Afghans, and eventually paved the way for thousands more to join them. In the process he became both military and spiritual leader to a growing band of Arab jihadis.
Little has been written about Azzam, although an examination of his life as a leader during the '80s reveals that challenges to al-Qaeda from within have dogged it from the start, and that the organisation is well placed to withstand the kind of dissent which now threatens it.
Azzam was born in 1941 in what was then British Mandatory Palestine. He earned a degree in Shariah law from Damascus University and a doctorate in Islamic jurisprudence from al-Azhar University in Cairo, the oldest institution of religious learning in the Islamic world. There he read books by Syed Qutb, the intellectual Godfather of modern Islamic fundamentalism, and met members of the Muslim Brotherhood, a movement he would later join. He also came into contact with both Ayman al-Zawahiri - the now de facto leader of al-Qaeda - and Omar Abdel-Rahman, the blind sheikh convicted of masterminding the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Centre.

An Iranian national and his Iran-based company were named Tuesday in a federal grand jury indictment in federal court in Washington, D.C., on charges of conspiracy to defraud the U.S., smuggling and the unlawful export of military antennas to Singapore and Hong Kong.
Amin Ravan and his company, IC Market Iran (IMI), are accused of attempting to procure, for shipment to Iran through an Iran-based intermediary, antennas made by a Massachusetts company in violation of the Arms Export Control Act.
According to the indictment, the antennas were cavity-backed antennas suitable for airborne or shipboard direction finding systems or radar warning receiver applications, as well as biconical antennas suitable for airborne and shipboard military environments.
The indictment was announced by U.S. Attorney Ronald C. Machen Jr. in Washington.
According to the indictment, which was returned under seal by a grand jury in Washington on Nov. 16, Mr. Ravan was based in Iran and, at various times, acted as an agent of IMI in Iran and an agent of Corezing International Pte. Ltd., a company based in Singapore that also maintained offices in Hong Kong and China.
Mr. Ravan was arrested on Oct. 10 by authorities in Malaysia in connection with a U.S. provisional arrest warrant.
The U.S. government is seeking to extradite him from Malaysia to stand trial in Washington. If convicted, Mr. Ravan faces up to 35 years in prison.
According to the indictment, after this first attempt was unsuccessful, Mr. Ravan joined with two co-conspirators at Corezing in Singapore so that Corezing would contact the Massachusetts company and obtain the antennas on behalf of Mr. Ravan for shipment to Iran.
When Corezing was unable to purchase the antennas from the Massachusetts firm, the indictment said, Corezing then contacted another person in the U.S. who was able to obtain the items from the Massachusetts firm by altering the frequency range of the antennas to avoid detection by the company's export compliance officer.
In March 2007, the indictment said, Mr. Ravan and his two co-conspirators at Corezing -- Lim Kow Seng and Hia Soo Gan Benson -- agreed on a purchase price of $86,750 for 50 cavity-backed antennas from the U.S. and discussed structuring payment from Mr. Ravan to the two men to avoid transactional delays caused by the Iran embargo.
Ultimately, between July and September 2007, it said 50 cavity-backed spiral antennas and five biconical antennas were exported from the United States to Corezing in Singapore and Hong Kong.
Tuesday's indictment did not say whether the antennas ever made it to Iran, but a previous indictment against Mr. Seng and Mr. Hia claims that they helped transfer other U.S.-made electronic goods that wound up in the hands of Iran-backed Iraqi insurgents.
According to the indictment, no party to these transactions ever applied for or received a license from the State Department's Directorate of Defense Trade Controls to export any of these antennas.
Mr. Seng and Mr. Hia, both Singapore citizens, have been charged in a separate indictment in Washington. They were arrested in Singapore last year and the U.S. is seeking their extradition.
The prosecution is being handled by Assistant U.S. Attorney Anthony Asuncion of the U.S. attorney's office for the District of Columbia and Trial Attorney Richard S. Scott of the Counterespionage Section of the Justice Department's National Security Division.

Starting the process
Hello all! We are starting this process, close on the lot on 4/16. We have been through the first prelim drawings from our architect, they were close to what we want! Revised set coming Tuesday.
This all somewhat came out of the blue, got the lot (1/2 acre, which is pretty large in our neighborhood). My 82 yearold dad will be moving in with us, and our current house that I still love will not accomodate a first floor master, which is not only important to dad, but I have rheumatoid arthritis, and want to build a home I know I can stay in if I degenerate.
Anyway, I just wanted to say how excited I am to havefound the gardenweb forums, and all of you smart, experienced people. I know I will be seeking answers to many questions!!
Welcome, Andry!
I've been a frequent poster in appliances and kitchens during our recent remodel, GW is wonderful!!
Now we're building a small (1650 sq ft) home together with my parents so they can live 2 blocks away from us for 6 months of the year. Yay for both of us!
Madeline~~ I would like to see your house plan for 1650 SF.
I also am looking for a small house plan to meet my disabled needs....no steps.
