Dear Patrons,
SU needs your help. Due to real like work, I do not have anywhere near the time to keep SU up and running let alone fix or add features.
If you are interested please use the contact form here
Dear Members,
SU would like to extend our sincerest apologies for the issues with logging in during the past day or so. There was an automated security update applied to the server that interfered with the login process. This issue has been addressed and the log in abilities have been fixed.
If you are still unable to log in, please request a new password using our Lost Password form and if the new password does not work, please contact us using this form.
Hi everyone,
Some of you -- maybe more or all of you -- received notifications of support tickets opened -- please ignore these. Our ticketing system went haywire for a few minutes there and sent some notices out. We've disabled the ability to send out any more notifications so you shouldn't receive any more of them.
Our apologies for the confusion and the clutter. We'll do out best to prevent anymore from going out and to get the system fixed immediately.
Hello everyone,
I want to apologize for the insane amount of down time the site experienced. The facility that our server is hosted in suffered a pretty major power issue at around Noon EST today (08/10/2011) causing a whole lot of servers to go down, so it wasn't just this site.
For those interested parties you can head over to http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=107269 or http://www.colo4.com/
Anyways, again, our apologies, there really is nothing we could do about it.
Good afternoon fellow citizens,
We just wanted to let everyone know that we've done some more updates to the site as follows:
Again, if you have any issues please don't hesitate to contact us through the support form.
[UPDATE 1]Have fixed the ability to comment on news items.
Hello, If you are seeing this message then you are on the new server. Unfortunately some things have not gone as planned that were working fine in the time moving up to the move and we are currently working through those issues. Right now, we see that no one is able to log in -- this is the highest on our list of priorities to fix.
Thanks for your patience and understanding, Brian
[Update 1]
It appears that the Login issues have been resolved, the support system is still having a couple minor issues, but from what we have been able to tell users are still able to submit trouble tickets so if you have any problems, please don't hesitate to let us know.
Also, moving servers required upgrading the forums completely, so for the time being they have been disabled until we can get the integration up and working again, this will also affect the fanart section. These two items are low priorities as they have very little traffic compared to the fanfiction area.
[Update 2]
We've fixed a few more issues, category viewing, story viewing. It also appears that some form submissions are not working either. If you can please let us know if you run into any problems on the site.
Good Day to All,
Just a quick note to let you all know that SU will be moving servers here in the next few days. It may take a couple of days and things may have a few problems at first, so just bear with us and please report any problems to us either through the Support system, the forums, through IM (I can be reached through yahooIM at c0ffee2k, AIM through bruuuuuce) or you can try to reply to this message. You can also email me at firstname.lastname@example.com
Thanks for you support and understanding in advance for any errors or problems.
Sorry everyone!
We had a misconfiguration happen on our server today for about 9 hours. Some of you probably saw a message about a site redesign, etc... yeah, just go ahead and ignore that. It was for an entirely different site.
Good Afternoon!
Just a quick note about some changes to SU.
First: We have added donor badges that users can show on their profile page. This option has been turned off by default so those who do not wish to show their donation status to SU don't have to do anything, if you wish to show your donot status simply edit your Personal Preferences and place a check in the "Show Donor Badge Publicly" check box.
Second: Some small ads will soon be displayed on SU. Don't worry, these won't be the popup/take over the entire page screen, as a matter of fact these ads will only show up on the main home page. At this point they will be text ads only and because beggars can't be choosers they may not be an exact fit for the content of SU, however rest assured that we will not allow any ads of objectionable nature. Displaying ads has become necessary due to the cost of running the server, low donation amounts, but mostly because of unemployment.
As always, we are constantly working to bring new features to SU, so with the addition of ads to SU our next major feature will be something of a paid membership system designed so that any donor who donates (or has donated) over a certain amount will have all Ads hidden automatically. The specifics haven't been worked out yet, and since the Ads are text only (for at least another 2 months) there won't be a major push to implement this feature.
If you have any questions or comments please don't hesitate to reach out to us.

I've started sanding but can't stop thinking about the upcoming stain application...lol. We have decided on Sashco Transformation stain, but are undecided on color. We are torn between dark gold (we wish it was a little more brown) and dark brown (wish it was a little more gold). I was wondering if I could mix these two stains in order to come up with my own color. Of course I would measure my mix very carefully. Thanks. Brent Continue

Police Investigate Mysterious White Powder Mailed To Khloe Kardashian
November 21st, 2012 6:32pm EST
A letter containing suspicious white powder that was sent to reality star Khloe Kardashian sparked a studio security scare on Tuesday morning.
FBI agents launched an investigation after producers alerted them to the discovery of an envelope mailed to CBS studios, where the fashion designer tapes her hosting gig on The X Factor.
The officials determined the substance was harmless, reports TMZ.com.
This is the third time a mysterious powder has been delivered to the production facility - former Dancing With The Stars contestant Bristol Palin was also twice targeted.

Do RIM have anything anywhere that explains there connection setup - as in what makes there servers decide they don't want to play anymore and drop to poll mode rather than idle mode.

it looks like downtime on the part of my mail server over a period of time, and then later lots of flapping is what caused the rim servers to take a dislike to my imap connection.
It happened again this weekend, the rim have never recovered an idle connection to my imap, neither does my email use my mx, its goes via rim...
If I delete & re-add the account on the phone it normally re-establishes fully and is fine.
I'd love to know what rim have set there servers to do... I'm going to leave it in its poll state for a few days (even though the email delay is killing me) and see if its going to sort its self out or not...
If not I might try & raise a case via my carrier to rim and see what they say.

Hollins' first-annual C3: Career Connection Conference launched on October 4, 2012. Alumnae shared how they translated their liberal arts education into satisfying careers. They also provided students with tips, tools, and tricks of the trade to land that first job. Students attended panels, workshops, and other presentations, and they had the opportunity to network with alumnae who are well positioned to help them find internships and jobs.
When most students start college, they don't have the rest of their lives planned out. They benefit from help in planning a major, setting up internships that enable them to test out career ideas, writing a résumé that will get noticed (in a good way!), and rehearsing for interviews.
In fact, the earlier you get started thinking about what you can do at college to prepare for life after college, the better. And at Hollins, the place to begin—starting your first year—is the Career Center. Here you'll find a variety of services that will help you make informed career decisions, plus a supportive and challenging environment.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Police have arrested a South Charleston man in connection with the stabbing of two men Saturday in Putnam County, said Putnam Sheriff Mark Smith.
George Franklin Jeffrey, 21, was charged Tuesday with two counts of malicious wounding for allegedly stabbing Jeremy Stephen Pullen and Robert Eric Peters, both 22, of Poca, about 11 p.m. Saturday near the Rock Branch Exxon station, he said.
Jeffrey got into an argument with Pullen and Peters, and the incident escalated from there, Smith said.
Both were stabbed with a hunting knife, Smith said. They were taken to CAMC General Hospital.
Jeffrey is being taken to Western Regional Jail on a $50,000 bond, Smith said.

Mars Rover Curiosity Keeps Busy On Red Planet
It's been more than a week since the Mars rover Curiosity made its successful landing on the Red Planet. Curiosity is by far the most technologically advanced rover to reach the planet's surface. David Greene talks to astrophysicist Neal DeGrasse Tyson, director of the Hayden Planetarium in New York City, about Curiosity's two-year visit to Mars.

It has been just over a week now since Curiosity, the NASA Mars rover, made its successful landing on the Red Planet. Curiosity is by far the most technologically advanced rover to reach the surface of Mars so far, and it's already begun sending back some pretty compelling, high-resolution photographs of the planet's surface. To talk about space and the importance of this mission, we're joined, as we often are, by Neil deGrasse Tyson, astrophysicist and director of the Hayden Planetarium in New York.
Dr. Tyson, welcome back to the program.
NEIL DEGRASSE TYSON: Happy to be back with you. Thanks for having me.
GREENE: Well, as someone whose career has focused largely on space discoveries, what is striking you so far about this Mars mission?
TYSON: Well, it's got to be the landing of the thing. I mean, consider that you travel nine months to get to the place, and then you encounter the planet, and you've got to slow down somehow. Fortunately, Mars has some atmosphere, so that allows you to use a parachute. But then you need all the rest of these sort of Rube Goldberg-ian devices to land this thing. And so up till now, I think the greatest achievement there is not scientific but engineering. And right now the rover is sort of getting ready to sort of start its roving.
TYSON: It won't move very fast, by the way, when it finally kicks in.
GREENE: It's kind of a pokey rover once it starts exploring the planet.
TYSON: Very pokey. It's - I think it tops out at one and a half inches per second. So...
GREENE: Yeah, that's not fast.
TYSON: Be funny if you lined up all the rovers that ever were in Mars and had a race. You go out, have a cup of coffee, come back, see how far they've gotten.
GREENE: Yeah, or go to college and come back and see how far they've gotten.
GREENE: This mission is getting a lot of attention and it seems like it's giving NASA some positive news, you know, after all the headlines about shutdown of the shuttle program.
TYSON: Yeah, of course. And rightfully so, because, you know, the next best thing to just wandering around Mars aimlessly is to send in an entire laboratory there. And it's fully tricked out. It's very ambitious. And now it's not going to actually look for life as we know it, but it's certainly equipped to look for precursors of life - so organic molecules that would tell us something about the conditions on the surface.
GREENE: Well, it's interesting you bring up the search for life. President Obama, you know, kind of jokingly told the people running this mission that if there is contact with Martians, please let him know. Could they find something that would be significant?
TYSON: So there's no specific instrument designed to detect life, but if something crawled out from under a rock and climbed on the back of the thing, you wouldn't need the lab experiment to determine that's like yup, that's life.
GREENE: Could that happen? I mean could something crawl out of somewhere or is that just crazy?
TYSON: Well, there's a recognizant satellite and that has high enough resolution so that in all the areas that it has mapped, if there was something large enough to crawl on the back of this thing, actively moving around on the surface, we would've known about it well in advance of landing.
GREENE: Let me ask you one more question about this Mars mission. It sounds like you're impressed, as a lot of people are. But you've also written about how you feel like only humans can truly explore space and not robots. Do you feel like because of that there's still more that should be done with exploring Mars beyond this?
TYSON: Oh, no, no, no, no. You always need robots, of course. It's vastly cheaper to send robots than to send humans.
But that being said, my appeal to get astronauts back in space is simply because of the force of nature that they represent on the ambitions of students in the pipeline.
GREENE: And how close are we to getting humans to Mars?
TYSON: Well, in the Obama plan, it's not until the 2030s, when he's long been on a beach in Hawaii by then - under the leadership of a president to be named later on a budget not yet established. So I'm disappointed that the plans that our nation had for NASA's future in space are also timed diluted in such a way that it makes me question whether it'll ever happen at all.
We all got excited about this rover, but I mean we're still behind, based on where everyone thought we should've been by this, the second decade of the 21st century. So, yes, I'm happy for the rover, but I'm saddened that there's not even more of it going on.
GREENE: Dr. Tyson, thanks so much for joining us, as always.
TYSON: Happy to be with you.
GREENE: Dr. Neal DeGrasse Tyson is the director of the Haydon Planetarium, at the American Museum of Natural History in New York.

Wine Boy
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- I know I've always preached that wine appreciation is a very subjective undertaking, and that you should drink whatever you want, with or without food. I still feel that way.
Yet you may have noticed that most of my wine recommendations also come with a suggested food pairing. That's because I feel strongly that food brings out the best in wine - and vice versa.
Today I'll try to help you find the right bottle with your meal even when the wine rating experts don't give you a clue.
At least once a week I get asked, "What is your favorite wine?" My answer is always the same: "It depends."
For me, the question is incomplete unless I'm given some type of food context. For example, if asked, "What is your favorite wine with beef tenderloin," I would ask how it is to be prepared. Will the beef be marinated, dry-rubbed (and with what spices) or just seasoned with salt and pepper? Will it be grilled, pan-sautéed or oven-roasted?
Based upon the answers, I would recommend several wines that would marry nicely with that particular treatment of beef tenderloin. I don't believe wine can be objectively and properly evaluated on the merits of its own flavors, aromas and textures - without food.

Swarms of tiny robotic bees may be soon springing to life from finely machined sheets of material in a newly designed manufacturing process that combines popup book simplicity with intricate high-tech origami.
The process brings precision control and speed to a previously painstaking process for fat fingered engineers and opens the door to mass production of all kinds of insect-sized robots and other tiny electromechanical devices.
The manufacturing technique stems from the Robobees project at Harvard University, where electrical engineers are developing swarms of miniature flying robots to do everything from pollinate crops to spy on enemies.
One of the challenges the engineers faced was the time-consuming task of creating a swarm one Monolithic Bee (Mobee) at a time. The error-prone process involved gluing together intricate parts by hand while looking through a microscope.
"Until recently, the manual assembly process was the state of the art in this field," Pratheev Sreetharan, a graduate student working on the project, said in a news release.
He and his colleagues have overcome this with a layering and folding technique that takes human hands out of the actual assembly.
They start with 18 layers of carbon fiber, a plastic film called Kapton, titanium, brass, ceramic, and adhesive sheets that each have a unique laser-cut design. The layers are stacked and aligned using pins and laminated together.
The design incorporates the Mobee layers into an assembly scaffold that uses a system of 137 hinges and folding joints to assemble the insect into a 3-D shape in a single, popup-book-like movement.
Once up, the entire device is dipped in a liquid metal solder that selectively bonds to brass pads, locking the bee together and allowing its removal from the quarter coin-sized assembly scaffold. Once removed, connection to an external power source allows Mobee's wings to flap.
While the technique removes humans and their fat fingers from the assembly process, nimble minds are still required to figure out how all the layers will fit together and fold.
The research team thinks their assembly technique is widely applicable to the fabrication of electromechanical devices with functional parts measured in micrometers and is hoping to commercialize it.
The fabrication technique will be described in the March issue of the Journal of Micromechanics and Microengineering.

I have been walking down N. Central to get to the center of St. Johns since 2003. I was enthusiastic that Central would be a Bike Boulevard, but I did not know it would be one of the first Bike Boulevards to have barrels blocking it. I think the barels are an eyesore, that they are unnecessary, that they block the street cleaning so the trash and leaves pile up, and at large that it just takes away from the aesthetics of the walk.
I bicycle often and I have never seen another Bike Boulevard with barrels blocking the street, so it took me (and many other neighbors for that matter) by surprise. They are not appealing for one this, as well the cars were not recklessly speeding before the barrels were in (because of the speed bumps) and I felt very safe as a pedestrian—there are extra wide planter strips on Central already!
Please, remove the barrels and bring a better feng shui back to the neighborhood. They are ugly.
Thank You,
Michael Sisler
Scott Cohen
Thanks for the comments and feedback, Michael.
When we did our outreach in the neighborhood in 2010, the neighborhood requested that if we installed a barrier that we do not just put in concrete but instead something that can be planted.
The concrete barrels are actually planters. The neighborhood has agreed to plant the barrels so that they are not so drab and ugly. The bureau will provide funding for the plants and soils and the neighborhood will plant the barrels. This should be more aesthetically pleasing than just plain concrete.
I believe the neighborhood will plant the planters this month (typically our Parks and Bureau of Environmental Services partners plant in the Fall so that the plants are more likely to survive than in the dry months of summer).
North Central will also have the posted speed limit reduced to 20 MPH. There were concerns about removal of stop signs on Central especially near the community center and the barrier effectively regulates "cut through" traffic by commuters without a destination in the neighborhood.

I don't believe the Green way map is complete. The street that runs next to Cleveland High that intersects with Powell has all of the Green markings at the intersection and the bicycle emblem. Isn't this a green way street too? shouldn't it be on the map also?
Scott Cohen
Hi Chris - Thanks for the comments. We are currently updating the map. Can you give me the street name that you are referring to?

Thanks to all the bike blvds and other bike friendly projects, I've gone "car light" since september. In my months of riding I've come up with some suggestions to improve some areas:
The painted sharrows on bike boulevards seem to be placed to inform those on the route that it is a shared roadway, but if they were painted close to or in the intersections then they could be used for way finding (I know some are in instances of the route turning - but not always). A prime example is the Alameda Bike Blvd (from NE 37th to 47th), there are a number of intersections where multiple roads connect to the route and no sharrow can be seen until you find the route yourself (especially difficult to do at night when you've never ridden the route before...).
Additionally, when looking for a bike blvd (such as when coming home from a new place) I don't realize I've crossed one until I am through an intersection and need to do a U-Turn because the sharrows are about 15 feet from intersections.
There is no sharrow or obvious signage leading bikes to the Bryant street pedestrian bridge (heading east from interstate ave). The is a sharrow leading bikes away... I know the bridge is there but someone new to the area might not.
Concord bike blvd crossing Ainsworth - I recall the original plans had more that currently exists. Currently when crossing this I wait for cars to pass then 'take the lane' and ride to the left turn back onto Concord. This sometimes confuses drivers as they like to stop for me to cross, but then I take the lane and they end up having to follow slowly behind me for a bit (at least they are nice about it).
Turning left onto concord from Rosa Parks is tough as the bike crossing through the median is narrow. It seems it was only designed for crossing Rosa Parks and not turning off of Rosa Parks even though Rosa Parks has bike lanes (tougher on my long tail cargo than my road bike, but if I had a trailer I'd probably ride on the wrong side of the road to avoid crashing into the median...). Not much that can be done there now I'm sure, but something to think about in future designs.
Going street pedestrian bridge entrances are extremely narrow to turn into/out of. Cutting 1 or two feet from the walls and adding a small concrete ramp to make the entrances wider would be a huge improvement. I've resorted to just taking Interstate ave because I've almost taken passengers knees out when I try to use that bridge on my long tail cargo bike.
Green bike route signs that have arrows are difficult to discern from a distance. Perhaps adding a green sharrow type line in the turn direction (so instead of just the white end being kindof pointed, having a parallel green strip a few inches from it to make kind of a double white arrow. Hard to explain but instead of ===> make it ===>>, did that make sense?)
The route to the airport from the south is nice, but when I'm hauling luggage and my kid it's very difficult to get to the walk signal buttons (did not appear to have actual bike signals) where it crosses airport way. The sidewalk sunken sidewalk sections make for difficult turns (need to turn sharp to avoid hitting the curbs). Same issues approaching Jantzen Beach from the south.
Getting to the airport path is dangerous though, on 42nd from Holman, along 47th and cornfoot.
I'm sure I have more suggestions and comments but that's enough for now. Main thing is the location of the sharrows can be improved for future boulevards. Let me know if you have any questions on my feedback or would like more information. And thanks for helping make biking more convenient than driving!
Scott Cohen
Thanks for all of the suggestions Jon. I'm forwarding your recommendations to Jeff Smith, who can help put them in motion.
You are correct about Concord/Ainsworth - the orignal plan called for a more robust design that was dropped based on neighborhood concerns. The current sharrow design was the compromise.
Mike McKenzie
I live along SE Bush St. in East Portland which was designated as one of the new bike boulevards. While the designation has certainly increased the number of bikes using the street it has also created some really unsafe conditions. The proximity to Ron Russell Middle School means a lot of the kids use this as a pedestrian path to and from school as well as many residents using the street to get to shopping and Tri-Met stops. The street is fairly narrow and much of it is without sidewalks. The lack of sidewalks coupled with the constant pedestrian traffic has created many close calls and it's just a matter of time before someone gets seriously hurt.
What will it take for the City to address this matter? The council and PDOT claim that they want safe bikeways as well as safe routes to and from schools and shopping, but all actions seem to show otherwise.
Scott Cohen
Hi Mike - Thanks for the comments. When you have a safety concern, one of the best ways to let PBOT know is to report it to 823-SAFE or firstname.lastname@example.com. That provides a record of your concern and has a staff person in our traffic investigations division take a look.
As for SE Bush improvements, we we're able to install speed bumps to help slow auto traffic - which is one of the most effective safety improvements PBOT can accomplish, since auto speeds are directly tied to severity of crashes and injuries for people walking and rolling.
While sidewalks on this stretch of SE Bush would be ideal, the current improvements provide a safer environment for people walking and rolling.
Kathy Grantz
I'm curious about what is happening with the Williams bike/car plans? I either bike or drive this daily. I am hoping that you are looking at developing a North/South Greenway in this area as there isn't one. In fact I was surprised to see there are only a couple of N/S Greenways.
Do you have a regular mailing that I can subscribe to?
Thank you!
Scott Cohen
Hi Kathy - Thanks for your comments and questions.
N Williams recently won a grant from the Oregon Department of Transportation to implement the traffic safety plan developed with the community stakeholders group. More info here - http://www.portlandoregon.gov/transportation/53905.
The plan calls for developing a neighborhood greenway adjacent to N Williams.
As for a mailing list, the best place to receive active transportation news is by signing up for our SmartTrips email list. It includes information on bicycling, walking, transit, and more. Here's the link to sign up - https://app.e2ma.net/app2/audience/signup/1368521/1364947.13863891/7520211/?v=a

The N Michigan street Bike Greenway crosses N Killingsworth, which is a busy street. There is a 30MPH sign posted here.
Only the east side of the intersection has a crosswalk. All other busy streets have both side painted. Is there a plan and completion date for this to be done? Is there a plan to make this a safer crossing?
Now PCC is proposing to construct a parking lot at the NW corner of this intersection, with the entrance on N. Michigan. How will this impact the safety of riders on the Michigan street greenway? How will the traffic congestion, backing up I5 and N. Killingsworth street be relieved?
Can someone look into this situation and hopefully do something to make things safer.
Scott Cohen
Thanks for your comments, Mike.
This is a convergence of two projects (Killingsworth Streetscape Project and the N Michigan neighborhood greenway project) and traffic engineering opinions.
We usually stripe both sides of the other intersections, as is the typical for Neighborhood Greenways. This particular intersection has an extension on only one side (east side); the Killingsworth Streetscape project provided the extension and bus stop at this corner. As I understand it; in the world of traffic engineering if an intersection has one leg of an intersection with an 'enhanced crossing' we would mark that leg of the intersection. Which the project did to stay consistent with other crossing locations along Killingsworth.
We'll have a traffic engineer look into striping both side of the crosswalk and get back to you.
As for the PCC parking garage, I believe the entrance/exit will not be on N Michigan. More information here: http://bond.pcc.edu/cascade-campus/michigan-ave-bike-boulevard-saved-pcc-approves-underground-parking-garage-bikeportland-org/

Hi! After viewing the 2030 bicycle concept plan, I noticed that Failing and NE 9th were both labeled as future greenways. When will these be put into action? I think they both have great potential and attract copious riders, including myself.
Additionally, shouldnt 16th avenue between Irving and Ladd's circle be marked as a greenway on the map? It's got the sharrows and stoplights and whatnot.

Thanks for your comments, Henry.
The 2030 Bike Plan is the City's blueprint for future bikeways. NE 9th and NE Failing were both identified as future neighborhood greenways, but there is currently no funding or specific plan to carry out that vision.
I appreciate your suggestion on NE-SE 16th. I'll update is when we update the map.
Thanks again,
Scott Cohen

Product Description
Maker: Thinkfun
What's GNU? The three-letter-word race game that spells FUN! The object of the game is to spell more three-letter words than the other players. Up to 36 Word-Starter cards, which have one letter provided and two blanks, are spread out for everyone to see. Players slide the clever Letter Getter to magically reveal two letter tiles. Kids then must look at these tiles and try to make three-letter words by filling in the blanks on the Word-Starter cards. The player with the most three-letter words when all the tiles run out wins!
