Learn From My Mistakes, Lesson 1
This will be an ongoing series of posts in which you can learn from my mistakes. That way you can vicariously enjoy the fruits of stupidity without actually having to be stupid like me.
Today's lesson will actually be a small list:
- When you get home on Monday morning (trash day), don't park in front of the trash can.
- When your beautiful wife tells you that you need to move your car and you tell her that you will, you should actually do it.
- If you can't avoid the above items, don't do it the Monday before your daughter's Sunday birthday party, thereby ensuring the absolute biggest, smelliest, most disgusting pile of garbage possible, with visitors coming to the house.
Remember: I'm stupid, so that you don't have to be.

Hispanic group, NAACP join Voter ID lawsuit
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - The Mexican American Legislative Caucus and the Texas NAACP have filed a lawsuit to overturn the state's Voter ID law.
The two groups filed their petition with a federal court in Corpus Christi on Tuesday.
The Department of Justice also filed a lawsuit opposing the law last month saying that is created an illegal barrier to voting for poor minorities and people who live in rural areas. The law requires voters to show a government-issued photo ID to cast a ballot.
The Mexican American Legislative Caucus, the NAACP and the Department of Justice fought a similar case in Washington DC where a three-judge panel stopped enforcement of the law. But the U.S. Supreme Court took away the lower court's power to pre-emptively stop the Voter ID law from taking effect.

Why PACs, Super PACs Dominate the Political Landscape
The Citizen's United ruling gutted most, if not all, of the bill's provisions. There is one legacy of the law still in place: The "stand by your ad" rule, which created the "I'm so and so and I stand by this message," heard at the end of ads to show accountability.
What is the future for PACs?
They're not going away and most likely, any attempts to legally curb them will face court challenges.
The simple reason for PACS and Super PACs — or what might replace them in the future — is that money helps. According to the Center for Responsive Politics, the federal candidate who raised more money in 2008 won the race nine times in 10 tries.
What's left for 2012 and beyond is this: billions of dollars collected and billions to be spent, with no end in sight.
""President Obama's reversal on his pledge not to accept Super PAC money speaks to the significant role his campaign believes these organizations play in 2012," says Robert Alexander, associate professor of political science at Ohio Northern University. "Money has the effect of attracting more of it."

Nick Fury Failure
By Brayjaysmommy from BSG Va on 11/9/2013
Was this a gift?:
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Comments about Avengers Nick Fury Adult Men's Costume:
I will never purchase from Spirit Halloween again! I ordered a "standard adult" thinking maybe it would be a med or a large but recieved and xlg!! Not only did I pay almost 70 dollars for this,I had to have it altered. I called to voice my concerns and was told my only option was to purchase another costume,pay for overnight shipping and then return my costume for a refund of my costume cost only.
Was this review helpful to you? Yes / No- Is this review inappropriate?.

Probably the most sour chocolate of its range, Sambirano is an all-out assault of tartness, delivered in red and purple shades. However, it is properly balanced and therefore precludes the final impression that Domori went just a little too far this time. If you like extremes, this one is for you.

Unexpectedly, with a varietal Domori should be a great match for, they stumble a bit. Here is a Madagascar that is just too aggressive, too masculine for the normally shy and retiring bean, and as a result challenging rather than relaxing to eat. The flavour is very big, which for some origins might be fine but here tends to magnify problems and leads to a bar that feels a bit too much light being struck by a freight train.
Domori's suboptimal package (plastic wrapper) nonetheless contains a bar looking quite optimal: of a very light colour typical of its varietal and with only minor surface irregularities. There's some back-side bubbling but that's about it.
The aroma, however, is really guite off, with a strange, beef bouillon-like saltiness to it, accented with shades of coffee. Indeed, some coffees turn out like this when the extraction has been a little too thorough, and the result, as here, is something perhaps a little reminiscent of that pitch used for sea piers. Bizarre.
At least the flavour isn't quite so strange, although it too has its difficulties. Initially there is a soft, plummy flavour, but the middle flattens into a tannic woody hint before proceeding to a milder tropical tone. Alarmingly, the finish reveals that same beefy/iron and coffee note, so that the bar takes on a bit of the character of Marmite, and this is not a good thing in chocolate. It's not as pronounced, though, as the aroma, so that it is merely a disturbing suggestion rather than a gastly apparition. On the whole it's a flavour that starts well but ends with hints of trouble.
Texture, like most Domori chocolates, can't be faulted: it's perfectly smooth and creamy, dense and thick on the mouth. Nonetheless, there is very clearly the sense of a misstep for Domori, who should have been able to capture the spicy, citrus delicacy of Madagascar effortlessly. Instead, we get a jumbled flavour collision that has no resemblance whatsoever to its varietal in the normal sense and seems to have more in common with the Ocumare 67 bean. Domori needs to reinterpret the processing for the Madagascar and start fresh.

Domori has done a great job making this bar look good, since Sambirano looks less slovenly as their other bars. Only moderate swirling and bubbling are present, which are of no concern whatsoever. The color is presented in a sierra shade, brightened with a dark purple tint that typifies one of the more common Madagascan themes. Flooding the nose with a powerful raisin and prune liqueur, the aroma smells unusually vinegary and sour as well, excessively so since the face practically cringes in its presence.
It's no surprise, then, to discover that the profile is completely saturated in a sour liqueur of prunes and raisins, with a stringent redness of cranberries that altogether creates a puckery cocktail that prickles your tongue incessantly like a thousand needles. Darker notes such as coffee lurk in the background as well, merely lending proper support, but the sourness is merciless and omnipotent, refusing any other flavor to pacify its purple and crimson fury. The experience sure is sobering and shocking, giving the impression of an orchestra entirely comprised of shrieking cats.
The texture meanwhile offers a sense of normalcy by treading effortlessly and creamily, which is expected from Madagascar anyway. But what is not expected is the flavor that Domori opted to achieve. It's pungent, sour, and far too vinegary, all of which are exacerbated by an intensity level that make this chocolate seem like it's on a feverishly high caffeine overdose. Perhaps some disparities in the ferment are to be blame here, and if so, this problem should have been mended with further processing that Domori's minimal impact philosophy seems to negate. In short, Sambirano is a disorienting, acerbic, and high strung chocolate that needs to be tamed in order for one to recognize and thus enjoy it as a fine Madagascan.

Excellent work Mr. Levin. Now, calm down. The left wing media will exploit our anger.Levin is absolutely correct in confronting Rove. I support Levin fully. Rove has done some remarkable things to advance the cause of conservatives (some torte reform stuff that few of us are aware of BTW. I thank Rove for that.) but it´s over now. We have done it his way for long enough. Conservatives did everything they could to support Mitt Romney. I really believe we did, in spite of the all the scoldings and condescending lectures, we did our part. It´s time to realize that it didn´t work.I expect that Rove will not stop. We need to be prepared to handle him and I think we need to do it very calmly and quietly. We must continue to advance our ideas. Click Here if you Like this Comment

Small and medium size businesses in West Somerset that have been hit hard by the severe flooding may qualify for extra help to get them back on their feet.
The Somerset Levels and Moors 20 Year Action Plan has been unveiled by Somerset County Council.
West Somerset Council has decided not to change the scheme for 2014/15. However, we wish to make sure that incentives to help people in work are designed to meet the requirement of West Somerset residents, so we are now consulting on options for 2015/16.
Consultation is taking place on a Stogumber Neighbourhood Area so that a Neighbourhood Plan can be prepared for Stogumber.

Scene: Surgery on the Octopus Arms
Rule one of comic book science: if you're going to be demonstrating your new artificial intelligence neural-link octopus arms, for God's sake make sure your inhibitor chip is well shielded.
Dr. Otto Octavius makes this fundamental mistake in Spider-Man 2 and finds the octopus arms fused to his spine, the inhibitor chip destroyed. But maybe we can use science to defeat science! Dr. Octavius is strapped to an operating table and surgeons prepare to remove the rogue arms. But these being AI octopus arms (rather than your standard octopus arms), they act in their own defense, attacking the doctors and nurses and tearing the hell out of the operating room. It's a surprisingly harrowing scene for a comic book flick, reminiscent of Sam Raimi's Evil Dead 2 (no flying eyeballs, but practically). And it scares the hell out of us every time we see it.

Underscoring its ability to attract experts who can provide the "inside baseball perspective" regarding monumental changes in the law, the Boston Bar Association today announced that Kevin Brown -- leader of the Washington National Tax Services' IRS Service Team at PricewaterhouseCoopers and a former IRS official who held the roles of Acting Commissioner and Deputy Commissioner for Services and Enforcement -- will speak at the BBA on Wednesday, February 13 when it presents Understanding the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 (ATRA), a three hour CLE program. "Kevin will provide perspective and context regarding the political currents that gave way to changes in the ATRA," said Stephen Ziobrowski, a partner in Day Pitney's Boston office who will also be presenting at the BBA CLE program. "His ability to provide the perspective of someone who has worked at the highest echelons of the IRS nationally will help attendees gain better insight on how this Act came to be, what we can anticipate next, and why." ATRA is frequently misunderstood, with even some attorneys mistakenly believing that ATRA only affected tax rates, when in fact ATRA made significant changes in the tax law itself. The CLE will deal with Income Tax, Transfer Taxes, and Employment Taxes under ATRA. Joining Kevin Brown and Stephen Ziobrowski on the panel will be Sara A. Wells and Travis L. Blais, both of Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo; Julie Hogan Rodgers of WilmerHale; and Sean T. Donovan, Day Pitney. The February 13 program will be made possible in part by a grant from the Federal Tax Institute Fund of the Boston Bar Foundation. Both the BBA's Trusts and Estates Section will be sponsors.

All of our fragrance oils are designed to be used in personal care products, M&P soaps, liquid soaps, lotions, bath salts, sea salts and Paraffin & Soy Wax Candles.
Packaging: The Chemistry Store packages all it fragrance oils, essential oils and flavors in amber glass bottle for 2oz thru 16oz to keep the sunlight from degrading the quality of the product. We also do not use plastic bottle as the plasticizers (e.g. Phthalate) may leach into the fragrance or essential oil.
About Our Descriptions:When you buy a fine fragrance in a department store you should always test it over a period of time. These fragrances are made from a blend of oils, some more volatile than others. Therefore the odor of the fragrance changes during evaporation. It is divided into the top note, the middle notes or body, and the bottom or end note, which consists mainly of the less volatile compounds. Like a great piece of music, the blend must be in harmony to achieve a master scent. Our fragrance oil line is made with these same principles in mind. It makes our products unique and beyond the typical. They are meant to be enjoyed!

Buncombe Co. Workers Pay Off Layaways
Updated: Thursday, December 20 2012, 07:19 PM EST
Several generous Buncombe County workers decided to forgo a Christmas party this year and give back to their community. Members of the county grounds maintenance crew decided to use the money they to pay off some layaways at a local K-Mart. About 20 employees showed up at the K-Mart on Brevard Road Thursday and paid off three accounts with $350 dollars. To continue their generosity, they placed their change into the Salvation Army's kettle in front of the store.

Another negative event caused great concern when a gun that had been owned by Jonathan Hager could not be found and was listed as missing, most likely by theft. The item's estimated value was between $600 and $700, but worth much more to the local collection.
Meetings soon began with the county commissioners to discuss the transfer of Beaver Creek School and the financial limitations of WCHS to assume major maintenance and repairs to the building. A committee was formed to examine considerations for the schoolhouse with estimates for costs to rehab and long-term associated costs. They also needed to deal with the legal issues of the shared parking and water supply with the nearby church.
The county went forward with a roofing contract at Beaver Creek School and the committee working on the school exhibits had finalized plans that one room would reflect a schoolroom of the year when the school was built — 1904.
Items were already being offered for display at the schoolhouse, including an initial loan of documents from Mrs. Winslow Burhans, widow of another former mayor. Loan custody issues and the necessary insurance for same presented new concerns.
Mr. and Mrs. J. Howard Beckenbaugh offered to take over preparations for the other room in the schoolhouse, where various exhibits would be placed. The annual meeting of January 1971 opened with the ringing of an old school bell from Winter Street School and the invited guest speaker was Superintendent of Washington County Schools William M. Brish, who began his talk with information about the earliest schools dating before 1776.
The board was asked to consider the old Hagerstown Rubber Co. manufacturing plant in the park as a place for a Civil War museum. Thoughts were that a technical museum and the old fire truck could be placed there, as well.
With the increase in activity and the work load that the society had assumed, the board began talking about the need for a full-time administrator. No budget could be framed under the current finances for a position, so there was a proposal that the work would be divided among board members and help was sought for the extensive clerical needs.
An agreement related to the Beaver Creek School for increased financial support, picnic facilities and grounds maintenance by the county parks department was in the works with the county commissioners. The parks department soon began a complete clean-up of the grounds, where weeds and tall grasses had overtaken the property. A final agreement was reached in 1971.
More donations arrived, such as the papers, poems and albums of Edgar Brenner, the young poet of Smithsburg, whose life was cut short by a tragic accident; an antique leather fireman's bucket, a required-by-potential-fine urban household accessory; and a new addition to the growing quilt collection.
The area beneath the dining room and kitchen of the Miller House was identified for potential storage after a new floor could be laid. Zoned heating for the building was also considered. On the archival side, there was discussion about publishing a book about the three families who had occupied the Miller House since it was built in 1825. Those families were the Price, Neill and Miller families, in that order of occupancy.
As the community, with anticipated help from the society, was starting to prepare for the 200th anniversary of the nation, the Miller House was connected to sanitary sewer lines at a cost of $1,365.00. Security issues were revisited for all sites, including the need to erect a fence around buildings in the park near Hager House. An estimate was given at $2,300 and the board decided to ask for bids.
After receiving appropriate permission to raise funds through the sale of some of the remaining 1937 Antietam Commemorative Coins in the possession of the society, 30 were sent in May 1971 to Stacks Coin Co., who would charge 20-percent commission for selling them. Proceeds would help pay for the fence.
By the end of 1971, the board had drafted a job description for a part-time curator and members were planning to ask the county commissioners for support for this position.

60beat has just launched its GamePad controller which it hopes will make gaming on an iOS device much closer to a dedicated console experience. The game content available to iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices is now huge however the use of on-screen touch controls remains a major problem for many gamers.
With proprietary technology that uses the headphone jack as the interface, the 60beat GamePad significantly improves the iOS gaming experience by moving the controls from the screen to a fully-featured hand-held game controller. Developed to look, feel and operate like widely-used external controllers, GamePad easily and instantly transforms an iPad, iPhone or iPod touch into a game console. The ergonomic design delivers superior comfort and control. Buttons and joysticks are engineered to deliver precise response and the tactile sensations gamers expect.
The controller which is available to order now will cost $49.99; so it is not a cheap option. The biggest stumbling block with all of these type of accessories, is getting developer support. So far, the 60beat GamePad has only managed to garner support for two games.
Source: 60beat
Why did nt they make it a wireless Bluetooth controller like the playstion 3? Seems like a huge mistake... Smh
I was considering getting an iControlPad a while back, but it has almost no developer support. Hopefully this one will be different. All it needs is one super-popular game to start it off and then it's golden
I think it's an interesting idea. As much as Apple can try to push their products as a gaming platform, controls on glass just flat out suck for anything beyond basic gaming. A controller is a nice addition to make the iPad a more viable gaming option, though having to lug around the controller makes it less convenient and portable. I guess that's the trade off.

It's All Politics Obama And Boehner Relationship Anything But Solid February 25, 2014 The president and the House speaker have had few face-to-face meetings, and their relationship has more often been marked by angry finger-pointing.
It's All Politics Obama Buoys Democrats By Dropping Social Security Cut Idea February 20, 2014 You could almost hear the sigh of relief from Democrats when the White House announced President Obama's 2015 budget wouldn't include a proposal that would have lowered Social Security benefits.
It's All Politics Lawmakers In Name Only? Congress Reaches Productivity Lows December 3, 2013 In terms of enacting laws, the current Congress is on course to be the least productive in modern times. Some House members think the lack of legislative activity is a positive development.
It's All Politics Could Obama's Health Law Vow Mean 2014 Pain For Democrats? October 30, 2013 A dysfunctional website is one thing. But Democrats must now also deal with how they defend President Obama's oft-repeated talking point about keeping existing coverage.
It's All Politics Good Cop, Bad Cop Routine Gets A Result For Obama And Reid October 16, 2013 The two Democrats played the routine where one officer offers the suspect a cup of coffee and the other smacks it from the suspect's lips. Reid, of course, is the smacker.

It's All Politics Shutdown Diary: Boehner Offers Debt Limit Deal October 10, 2013 On Day 10 of the government shutdown, Speaker John Boehner proposed a six-week debt ceiling extension hours before a group of House GOP leaders were to sit down with the president at the White House. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid rejected the notion out of hand.
It's All Politics Monday Morning Political Mix October 7, 2013 Speaker Boehner insists there aren't enough House votes to pass a spending bill that has no strings attached... A GOP congressman likened the Republican situation to how the Confederate Army stumbled into the Battle of Gettysburg... Which Boehner will we see this week?
It's All Politics Shutdown Diary, Day 4: When 'Winning' Isn't Everything October 4, 2013 The day centered on a quote attributed to an unnamed source. But one thing President Obama and House Speaker John Boehner could agree on: Nobody's winning in Washington.
It's All Politics Shutdown Diary, Day 3: More Talk, Little Action October 3, 2013 The GOP-led House passed a bill to temporarily fund the National Guard and Reserve, one of the series of smaller spending bills they've used to try to shift blame for the shutdown to Democrats. The Senate, controlled by Democrats, rebuffed it.
It's All Politics Shutdown Diary: Day 2 October 2, 2013 The second day of the government shutdown found President Obama in talks with congressional leaders at the White House. Elsewhere, conservative activists were busy targeting House Republicans who appeared ready to break ranks.
It's All Politics Shutdown Diary: War Of Words, And A Victory For Some WWII Vets October 1, 2013 Day 1 of the federal government shutdown, 2013 edition, was business as usual, at least when it came to each side trying to win the public relations fight.
It's All Politics No Talks Underway To Resolve Shutdown October 1, 2013 Democrats appeared to have the initial public opinion advantage on the shutdown. A new Quinnipiac poll found 72 percent opposed to a government shutdown to stop the Affordable Care Act.
It's All Politics Monday Morning Political Mix September 30, 2013 As a government shutdown looms, the fiscal battles pit against each other two old veterans of Washington's partisan-wars, Sen. Harry Reid and Speaker John Boehner... Don't call this gridlock ... The GOP civil war
It's All Politics Friday Morning Political Mix September 27, 2013 A political journalist tells congressional Republicans to pull the trigger on a government shutdown and debt default...

It's All Politics Countdown To Shutdown: It's GOP Senator Vs. GOP Senator September 26, 2013 Tea Party backed senators Ted Cruz of Texas and Mike Lee of Utah got into a rhetorical fight with fellow Republican Sen. Bob Corker of Tennessee, who accused them of grandstanding.
It's All Politics King Wing Presents Both A Problem And An Opportunity For GOP July 24, 2013 In an odd way, Rep. Steve King could actually wind up helping Republican members of Congress who want to overhaul immigration laws.
It's All Politics Boehner Seeks To Reassure House GOP On Immigration June 18, 2013 House Speaker John Boehner strongly suggested he would abide by the Hastert rule on immigration legislation, meaning no floor vote unless a majority of House Republicans backed the bill.
It's All Politics GOP Lawmakers Greet Obama's Syria Step, But Urge A Leap June 13, 2013 The White House announced Syria had crossed a "red line" by using chemical weapons. Many of the GOP reactions suggested the announcement was long overdue. And they made clear they expect much more from the president than just arming the Syrian rebels.
It's All Politics A New Front In The War On Obamacare: Twitter May 16, 2013 Republicans slammed Obamacare with a barrage of three-word tweets. But the White House trolled them in response.
It's All Politics Will Economic Contraction Affect Debate Over Sequester? January 30, 2013 Federal spending cuts may have hurt the U.S. economy's fourth-quarter growth. But don't count on that changing the dynamics of the current debate over the sequester, the ax poised to start hacking $1.2 trillion from federal spending if Congress fails to stop it by the March 1 deadline.
It's All Politics For Young Republican, Defying Boehner In Washington Plays Well Back Home January 10, 2013 After trying to help remove fellow Republican John Boehner as House speaker, Rep. Justin Amash got a very warm reception upon returning to his Michigan district. For a conservative Republican from a conservative district, being labeled a Washington troublemaker is not necessarily a bad thing. Listen Loading… 4:35 Download Playlist
Political Junkie John Boehner Has Been Up And Down And Up Again. Where Is He Now? January 7, 2013 It's been a rough couple of weeks for John Boehner. He was all but shut out of the fiscal cliff deal, dissed by his own party, and suffered 12 GOP defections when re-elected as speaker. But did he emerge from all of this as a loser? It's not that simple.
It's All Politics What Happens When The Speaker Isn't Talking? January 5, 2013 The framers of the Constitution didn't spell out all the responsibilities of the speaker of the House. In practice, one of those duties has been engaging in one-on-one negotiations with a president on important policy issues. But John Boehner says no more — even with new fiscal fights looming.
It's All Politics Was Boehner's Fiscal Cliff End Run Past GOP The New Normal? January 3, 2013 By letting the House take up the Senate's fiscal cliff-dodging legislation that raises income tax rates on the wealthiest earners, Speaker John Boehner answered affirmatively a question that had been on many minds: Would he allow an up-or-down floor vote on a bill opposed by most fellow House Republicans?

Lou Reed's billing spot is pretty disrespectful on that poster
Follow me on Twitter at Klein25
Foster the People - April 8 @ Pomona
But in all seriousness, you're probably right. I just based the upper line billing on where/when they'd play, and had Reed at sunset outdoor so just threw him in the billing order for that slot. Although Leonard Cohen's billing is probably a better indicator.
Then the undercard is billed essentially by either Last.fm listener rankings and whatever band would fit on the end of the line. I am now convinced half of Coachella's WTF billing disasters are because the band name was just the right length to fill in a line.

Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake's office put out a statement late Friday afternoon regarding her testimony today and support for expanded gambling — now referred to as "gaming" by enthusiastic politicos — in the state.
A special session of the Maryland General Assembly was called this week by Gov. Martin O'Malley to create legislation that would allow table games, such as blackjack, poker and roulette, at the state's previously approved slot machine sites.
O'Malley's recent proposal also would allow a sixth state casino in Prince George's County.
Blake says that expanded gambling in the state will create jobs and "also bring additional revenue to the State's Education Trust Fund, which provides the majority of Baltimore City Public Schools funding."
Her entire statement is here:
"Dear Friends:
Today, I testified before the House Ways and Means Committee in support of the bill to expand gaming in Maryland. This legislation will help us establish a world-class, competitive gaming and entertainment destination that will create more jobs, provide additional education funding to the State, help reduce property taxes for city homeowners, and fund school construction with local revenue.
As we recover from the Great Recession, it is important that we do everything we can to help create jobs. Expanding gaming in Maryland to allow for table games means more job opportunities at a time when we need them most. In Baltimore, we estimate that allowing table games will create an additional 500 job opportunities.
When you look at all Baltimore has to offer—our beautiful harbor, hotels, restaurants, major league sports stadiums, and other attractions—you can see that our casino project will only add to and strengthen the city's existing assets. With a more competitive product, the new site will attract thousands more visitors to Baltimore and support our tourism economy.
Table games will also bring additional revenue to the State's Education Trust Fund, which provides the majority of Baltimore City Public Schools funding. My father helped establish the City-State partnership for our schools. If not for funding from the State's Education Trust fund, Baltimore's Schools would not have achieved the great progress they've made.
Finally, the success of the project is an important component of our goal of growing Baltimore's population by 10,000 families. When you ask families what they need to come to Baltimore and stay in Baltimore, lower property taxes are of the utmost importance. We have put forward a smart and responsible plan to cut property taxes for homeowners 20 cents by 2020. A profitable facility is one of the only tangible ways that Baltimore will be able to lower property taxes for city homeowners.
Today, I asked our leaders in Annapolis for their support of the legislation so that Baltimore can create jobs, strengthen our public schools, and lower property taxes. This legislation recognizes the need to make Maryland's gaming program as competitive as possible while giving the voters of Maryland the final say on the issue.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me at my website or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com. You can also follow the Mayor's Office and be a part of the conversation on Facebook or Twitter.

Ed Beggs remembered as generous
Published on Wed, Jul 1, 2009 by
Brian Gawley
Read More
Edward Hunter "Ed" Beggs, Sequim's last full-time mayor, was extremely generous with both his time and money during the 34 years he lived here and remained gracious -- even after voters opted to replace his position with a city manager - his friends recall.
Beggs died June 22 in Portland, Ore. In 2006, he had moved with his wife to Vancouver to be closer to his daughter who lives there.
He was remembered for his friendly demeanor and willingness to help people as well as for serving the city during a period of rapid growth.
Beggs was elected as
Sequim's full-time mayor in November 1987 and again in November 1991.
Then, effective in 1996, the voters opted for a council-manager form of government with the mayor's position being largely ceremonial.
Beggs served the city when the U.S. Highway 101 bypass project was being planned, signed the sister city agreement with Yamasaki, Japan, and moved the Sequim Police Department to its current location in the Sequim Village Center.
Beggs' community involvement included the Exchange Club, Chamber of Commerce, Museum and Arts Center and Trinity United Methodist Church. He received the Paul Harris Award from the Sequim Sunrise Rotary Club of which he was a founding member.
"He was a very dear friend and a great person," said retired public works director and good friend Jim Bay.
"He loved cars, loved airplanes, loved working.
"He was a very, very, good mayor for Sequim. He took us out of the red and into the black. He was a really great person, did a lot for the community.
"He was never selfish with his time and effort to do something for somebody else."
Richard Parker worked with Beggs during his 22-year tenure as public works superintendent and remembered him as a good boss.
"I thoroughly enjoyed working with him. He was just a super neat guy," he said.
"He was a very good businessman. He did a good job and it was a pleasure to work with him.
"He was a quiet man but had a lot of backbone. He wasn't afraid to take on an issue head on."
Bill Thomas succeeded Beggs as mayor in 1996. He said the change in city government was the result of the changing city and not anything that Beggs did or didn't do.
"I think Ed got caught in a big change at the time. He was a victim of circumstance, not his job as mayor," Thomas said.
"He was always right there to give advice. He stayed involved with the council through my tenure and we relied upon him for advice.
"He worked hard in the community and was extremely generous with his money and his time. He was always willing to help people."
City Councilor Paul McHugh, a 40-year Sequim resident, said his main recollection of Beggs was that he was the last strong mayor.
"He governed during a time when we were facing a lot of growth in the area. I think he did great job of leading the city through that time.
"He had a real heart for the community and for activities around the Irrigation Festival.
City Councilor Walt Schubert, himself a former mayor, said Beggs did a good job of handling the city during a time when it was experiencing growing pains much like those of a child.
"He was mayor during a time when the town was growing and he had a tough job. He had a business going and also was mayor of the town. Being mayor was different then; it was like being a city manager now."
Beggs was born July 3, 1917, in Seattle to Hunter and Lora Beggs. He grew up in Nespelem in eastern Washington where he graduated from high school and married Marcia Brittain.
It also was where he began his business career with a Chevron service station.
The Beggses moved to Wenatchee in 1959, and Ed started a new career running an International Harvester dealership for 18 years.
Ed and Marcia moved to Sequim in 1972 after he retired, and Ed operated
Sequim Valley Auto Parts from 1974-1986.

From the Daily News:
City Council Speaker Christine Quinn wants to "eliminate the middleman" of the city's 311 phone system and let callers access city information directly from their hand-held devices.
"You look around New York on the subway, on the ferry, you see almost everybody with some kind of hand-held device, an iPhone, a BlackBerry," Quinn said Sunday.
While any of these people could dial 311 to get an address for the nearest firehouse or library, Quinn said the city should devise a way to let them download that information from the database the 311 operators use.
Bloomberg calls it "a brilliant idea".

Nick, on your wiki I didn't see a reference to the Fund for the City of New York's ComNET.
Shouldn't we be pushing for the city to open up the 311 data feeds to outside developers, who might build many cool mobile or web apps with it, rather than applaud the (archaic) notion of DoITT building one iPhone app?
Micah Sifry
I agree, Micah - the notion of a single, centralized, city-controlled 311 phone app seems bound to be insufficient and problematic. The real 311 of the future is open, diffused, and exists in a variety of manifestations.
So Quinn and Bloomberg get it partially right - the future of city services and information is on the web and on mobile - but not totally right - the future of city services/info is open to use and to building on by anyone.
I wrote notes to Council Speaker Quinn and Councilwoman Gale Brewer (who was also involved in this initiative) about this last week, and have yet to hear back from them.
Maybe an open letter is in order? If anyone wants to participate in one, let me know.
Absolutely agree -- I would be happy to work on this.
For a great-looking open source 311 tool (at first glance - I haven't looked that far into it yet) see SeeClickFix:
Me too. I think there's a chance that the folks at 311 might be happy to have extra help figuring out how to share their data. Do we know the right people to reach out to? Is there a letter going already?
Someone at city council reached out to me about ideas for their 311
initiative, but since then hasn't reconnected with me. I doubt that
they're thinking of anything this open. also don't know how much
support their initiative has from the mayor's office. Given all that,
I think an open letter of some sort might be useful...

Posted March 12, 2013
Have built several of these. Good starter kit but you'll want to move on to something better in pretty short order. Build quality and quality control are marginal. Female threads in cap are plastic and have a strong tendency to cross thread onto the male couplers which are brass. Had plating defect on the center band in one kit and another kit was missing parts. Practice on these but go with a little higher end kit for your special gifts or for sales to customers.

Internet resources
There are many ways to find people via the Internet. Most require at least the person's last name, although it is often possible to find out who resides at a known address or has a known phone number (reverse searching).
It is important to remember:
- Internet-based directories are updated periodically, not immediately;
- People with unlisted phone numbers or without a phone in their name usually do not appear in Internet-based directories. Cell phone numbers are usually unlisted.
- It is generally difficult to find a person's e-mail address. The best way is to locate the company or institution with which they are affiliated and see if there is a directory of the staff's e-mail addresses.
Chances are that a person who cannot be found in online phone directories has no phone in his or her name, has moved recently or has an unlisted number.

These button earrings will highlight your style. Soft diamond-shaped cabochons of gold mother of pearl light up the center of the earrings. Ribbed and fluted sterling silver surrounds the gemstone with extra brilliance. The earrings measure 3/4" tall x 3/4" wide with a nickel clip closure. Made in America with gemstones from around the world.
Like all fine jewelry, Carolyn Pollack Sterling Silver Jewelry should be handled carefully. Store jewelry in a plastic bag, dry and wrapped in tissue paper, when not being worn or displayed. Clean sterling silver with a silver polishing cloth when necessary, but never subject to chlorine, silver dips, chemical solutions or ultrasonic cleaners, as these substances can cause the natural gemstones to discolor. Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.

Gaels Survive Late Scare in Pool C |
Sevens - Collegiate Sevens |
Throughout much of Friday, St. Mary's looked like maybe the best team at Nationals. Several coaches or onlookers remarked at the Gaels' speed and sharpness, and rightly so, as they opened the tournament with a 53-0 drubbing of UW-Milwaukee. The second game, however, was probably closer than one might have expected, as a pesky Western Washington team led St. Mary's 7-0 early and outscored the Gaels in the second half. But SMCC strung together 26-straight points between WWU scoring stretches in the 31-19 win. Also in Pool C, NC State had a starkly different day. The Wolfpack were caught napping in their opening game, and Western Washington shelled them 24-5. The back-to-back Atlantic Coast 7s champs responded by punishing UW-Milwaukee 35-5 in round two. Entering its third game against heavily favored St. Mary's, ascending NC State would need to knock off the Gaels and hope for UW-Milwaukee, which had 90 points scored on it in its first two games, to beat Western Washington. The latter happened, and surprisingly, the former nearly did, too. NC State caught St. Mary's by surprise, especially in the breakdown, and matched the Gaels two tries midway through the second half. Brandon Alvey hit both conversions for NC State, while St. Mary's' attempts missed, giving the Wolfpack a 14-10 advantage. "NC State is a really physical team, and we were trying to kind of keep the ball out of contact, but when we went into contact they caught us off guard a couple times in tight stuff," said Andrew Cook of St. Mary's. "We weren't really ready for that. They're an awesome team, got a lot of pace, strength on that team." Cook dotted down St. Mary's third score in the 11th minute, which converted put them up 17-14. Michael Haley extended the Gael lead a minute later to ice the victory, despite a late score from Alvey. St. Mary's tinkered with its lineup throughout the day, proving its depth, which will help immensely on day two. "We like to put out different looks here and there, make sure we get all our guys a bunch of minutes, try to save everyone's legs on the first day," said Cook. "And we trust every single guy out here. It's not like there's a drop off when any subs come on or off. It's great to be a part of this team, and it's fun to be in this first tournament." |
