You're a 'gem' for digging all of this up for me! I'm thinking that the Colonial could be the one. I know that my great grandfather had to have built/financed the theatre well prior to 1921…more likely 1904-'06, maybe even before. My guess is that it was very small and not likely to have been a major stop on the vaudeville circuit.
Do you have to be a member of the L.A. Library to access this data online?
Here's another piece of history that my family is trying to recover evidence of: My great grandmother Helen De Wolf (or Wolf) was managed by Sid Grauman. Following the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and fire, Grauman convinced Helen to write and produce a musical number for her 3 children (one being my grandmother Capitola) to perform at a benefit for earthquake victims. I believe that benefit show was in a large Los Angeles venue. The children's act received rave reviews and thus launched their careers, independent of their parents'.
I'm hoping to find newspaper articles or reviews of the event which might include mention of the De Wolf family.
You have to pay to access archived articles in the Times (and other papers) right? I know that there is a great site that contains millions of newspaper articles, I just haven't had the funds to research all of this stuff.
I already have a copy of 1919 LA Times article about the event, in which my grandaunt Georgette De Wolf was interviewed.
Joe…what is your connection/interest in theatre?
The L.A. Library web site is available to everyone, but the articles in various papers and magazines I mentioned above are not themselves available on the Internet. The library's California Index of the Regional History Database contains only a large number of scanned index cards, some with a brief synopsis of the article content. (Reach the California Index from the main page by placing your cursor ove "Library Resources" and then selecting "Regional History" which will open a page with a link to the Index.) You can also sometimes find a bit of information attached to the historic photos in the library's Photo Collection.
I think that the L.A.Times does indeed require a fee to access their archives. I've never used them, so I don't know what the fees are (I'd imagine they are fairly steep— most newspapers charge quite a bit for that service), nor do I know how far back they go. The Times itself goes back to the 19th century, but their offices were blown up in 1910 and earlier issues may have been lost.
I tried entering both "Helen Wolf" and "Helen DeWolf" in the California Index search box, but there is no mention of her. There aren't even very many mentions of Sid Grauman, and most of those have to do with the Chinese Theatre.
I'm not sure where you might find the information you're looking for about your family. If you do a Google search on "vaudeville" you'll get a load of results, and there are probably some sites that could at least give you some pointers about possible sources of information.
My main interest in theaters is the buildings themselves, especially those around Los Angeles and the San Gabriel Valley, where I grew up. I have some memories of theatres there which I decided to contribute to this site, and then I discovered that I could dig up a bit more information about them by poking around on the Internet.
Daily Variety of September 30, 1941 announced that the Monrovia Theatre had been acquired by Fox-West Coast Theatres, so the theatre was operating under that name by that time.
AJG: I've found additional references to the Mission Theatre. It was located on East Olive Avenue, and opened in 1910. It must have been built as a live theatre, as a 1914 reference says that as part of a remodeling by the new owner, Mr. J.C. Kuert, of Los Angeles, a "modern operating room" (meaning a projection booth) was being added. A balcony with an additional 150 seats was added at the same time.
I have also found another reference to the Colonial Theatre. It opened in 1920. The 1921 remodeling included "the construction of a complete stage." I don't know if this means that the theatre had previously lacked a stage altogether, or merely had an inadequate stage. It may have opened as a nickelodeon. As I've been unable to pin down a location for the Colonial, or a construction date for the Monrovia Theatre, I can't yet eliminate the possibility that the Colonial and the Monrovia were the same theatre under different names.
From the Pomona Public Library:
Interesting. That picture from the Pomona Library includes a Van de Kamp's bakery up the street, but it's missing its windmill.
It was solar powered.
The building is now an antique store. I went inside, and it was a decent sized space. There is a new multiplex about a block away.
The L.A. County Assessor's office gives the original construction date of the building at 314 S. Myrtle Avenue as 1919, with an effective construction date of 1950, indicating a major remodeling at that time. I still have some question as to whether or not the Monrovia is the same theater as the one that opened as the Colonial in early 1920. That opening date would fit well with the 1919 construction date of the Monrovia Theatre's building.
Are there any old Film Daily Yearbooks listing the both the Colonial and the Monrovia at the same time, or showing an address for the Colonial that differs from that of the Monrovia? The name Monrovia was in use for this theater at least as early as 1941.
According to this article: View link the Monrovia opened as the Colonial in 1920; it has a picture that will enlarge if clicked upon. The Lyric, which has been mentioned above, opened in 1925 and later became the Crest.
It's in the 1923, 24 and 25 city directories as the Colonial at 314 S. Myrtle. It's at #316 in the 1927 directory.
It's listed as the Monrovia at #316 in the 1937 through the 1948 directories.
How about another nearby theatre, the Elite? It's in the 1911 city directory at 217 S. Myrtle Ave, Monrovia.

Diner Reviews
Overall, the food was good but
forgettable. Avocado tacos and drinks were amazing."
Dined on 8/1/2014
This restaurant is a complete
delight, visually, gastronomically, everything! The ambiance is eclectic and tremendous fun! The service is superb! The food is fabulous. I came here with 5 of my lady friends (we're all over 60), and we were enchanted and blown away ... and all of us would go back in a heartbeat! In fact, I am, with a new group of people ... this time with youngsters and my husband!"
Dined on 8/1/2014
Food was good. Ecclectic decor.
But you should really open on time (5:30 PM and not have your customer wait until 6 PM). Also, calling restaurant back to confirm my reservation - no live person who answers phone nor was there any voicemail options."
Dined on 7/24/2014
Went here for a girl's night with
some coworkers and we all loved the drinks, food, and service! The food options were perfect for sharing and the drinks were fun and delicious! Will definitely be returning"
Dined on 7/15/2014
Atmosphere - very fun. Food - the
three times I've gone, I've enjoyed 10 small plates. Best asparagus I've ever had. Great carnitas - enough for 2 people. I crave the Windshield cocktail which they generally only serve at dinner but they'll make it for you for lunch, if you request it. The last time I was there, I was a bit disappointed in the service & drinks, especially because I brought two friends for their first visit. The wait person ignored after she took our order & at the end of our meal, she clearly wanted us gone. I didn't see anyone standing in line, so I couldn't understand the bum's rush. The lemonaid drinks were very weak (it's not on the online menu so I can't give a name). But generally, I've loved the food & service."
Dined on 7/6/2014
I love the old location of Loló
but something got lost along the way when they opened the new space. Prices have risen and quality has suffered. Bland guacamole, overly dressed brussel sprouts, nice homemade chips and avocado tacos."
Dined on 7/3/2014
This was an outstanding meal from
every angle. Fun decor made us laugh a lot, great drinks menu - highly creative. Outstanding service and food was unbeatable. SO unique!"
Dined on 6/30/2014
Great Mexican-inspired cuisine.
The meat (steak and chicken) were especially awesome. Go for the sopes and/or the tacos, and the kale salad was great as well!"
Dined on 6/30/2014
It was like having Mexican tapas.
Really different take on your typical mexican dishes. You know it's good when an 8 year old will try something and then say it's delicious!"
Dined on 6/30/2014
Good food, ok service and a bit
too loud for normal conversation."
Dined on 6/27/2014
This is now one of my three
favorite restaurants! Everything was fabulous: food, decor, and service!"
Dined on 6/26/2014
Super friendly Hostess and
servers. Got every dish that was recommended to us and they were all excellent, The decor is fun and super cute too!"
Dined on 6/24/2014
...and in their new location on
Valencia St., there's more space, more light, more air ... with the same superb staff and over-the-top delicious food. A place this good generally goes downhill in quality (it's so good, there's really no place to go but downhill) ... but in the 5-6 or so years I have been off-and-on eating at Lolo's, this has not happened. Kudos to the management and staff for holding the line. I'll be back again and again."
Dined on 6/21/2014
On a Tuesday, Lolo was popping
like Saturday night, and despite having to wait 30 minutes for our reserved table, we liked it a lot. The folks finishing up at "our" table took that half hour for conversation after paying their check. Lolo let us know they would clear that table immediately when the earlier guests finally departed, and they brought us complimentary champagne (very nice champagne) to ease our wait. The menu is interesting and the food we ordered demanded a return visit to try the attractive choices that we left behind. Only complaint: as lifetime SFers, we are not afraid of spicy and at least one of the red sauces was surprisingly bland. Our servers were very good, well informed, and we expect to visit them again."
Dined on 6/17/2014
Very nice ambience, Very nice menu
options, Not so good food."
Dined on 6/14/2014
I had heard good things about
lolo, but was really disappointed. First of all, it must have been 105 degrees at our booth. No sign of air conditioning or fans. I had asked the server about the shrimp tacos. She told me there were 2 on the plate. However she failed to tell me they were bite size. I was done with my lunch in 2 minuets, and still hungry. My partner ordered chilaquiles with a fried egg on top. They were dry, boring, and tasteless. My margarita was excellent, and I would have had another, had I been asked by our server. We both left saying the same thing "I'd never go back""
Dined on 6/14/2014
This is the second time we went to
Lolo's and it was just as good as the first. The food has so much flavor, and all the dishes have a unique aspect to them. The place is relatively small and bustling, with crazy colorful and weird design. A great spot for groups or a date night. Highly recommend."
Dined on 6/13/2014
Started on high note with wdfl
beet/delicate cheese/fruity olive oil dish; downhill from there. Huge serving of browned, v. flavorful but a bit too oily Brussels sprouts, which took forever to arrive, was also tasty. Both grass-fed beef taco and carnitas sort of dry, bland--maybe because of late hour. Handmade corn tortillas had a slightly unfamiliar flavor that I didn't find an improvement over the standard. V. friendly, accommodating staff. I found my margarita kind of flavorless and the pina colada w. horchata just plain weird. Music loud; w. a full house I imagine the place would be deafening."
Dined on 6/11/2014
was good not great but just right
for an affordable lively /fun setting for good modern mexican"
Dined on 6/9/2014
I would definitely return to try
other dishes! The Shrimp Tacos were good, loved the beets and also the brussle sprouts! Service was fantastic!"
Dined on 6/8/2014
Great restaurant, one of my
favorites in the neighborhood. Always have a great time"
Dined on 6/7/2014
Nice. Cute. Great friendly staff.
They had really good recommendations on food. Yum!"
Dined on 6/6/2014
This is a lively, fun an energetic
spot with fantastic food. It's cozy and colorful, and you definitely need a reservation if you don't want to wait hours. But whether you make extra reservation efforts or decide to wait, it's definitely worth it. Our server was super friendly and knowledgeable about the food, but not overbearing. The food was all delicious and unique -- cool takes on traditional tapas with really great flavors. The wine was also excellent. And finally, for as much hype as this place has and as busy as it always is, the prices are still very reasonable. I highly recommend this place for any occasion."
Dined on 6/5/2014
I was very fond of the old Lolo
with its funky setting, its excellent tapas and hot staff. So I decided to try the new place. It's spacious like many trendy eateries in the City. The decor tries to replicate the cool Latin bohemian old LoLo but with so much space to fill the same decor feels a bit cheap. The food is still excellent, with maybe fewer choices but truly nothing to complain about. From small LoLo to big LoLo intimacy with the staff is gone. Service is good and I recognize a few faces so I'll just deal with my nostalgia. But big space means big groups, likely from the suburbs, and the noise level can be a little overwhelming. So if you're hip and young, LoLo is probably the place to see and be seen. "
Dined on 5/30/2014
Food was great and perfectly
timed, decor was fun, and service was very friendly and timely. A good time, for sure."
Dined on 5/17/2014
The service and the decor are
terrific-really darling. The food was bland and not creative."
Dined on 5/16/2014
even if the old location had more
character, it's still my favorite restaurant in San Francisco and I would recommend it over and over again, always a great dining experience!"
Dined on 5/15/2014
Saw this place on Check Please and
decided to try them. They have great tapas especially the tuna tacos and wonderful drinks too. Loved the domesticated wolf cocktail will definately be back."
Dined on 5/15/2014
Lolo is very, very loud. Don't let
that discourage you though. Lolo is perfect for dates or small parties. The atmosphere is fun but can also be very romantic. Come hungry enough to try multiple dishes. Some of the portions can be on the small side but that just means you have more room to try more dishes! If you like mezcal, they have lots of fun drinks to choose from. "
Dined on 5/14/2014
This place is hard to describe but
it's easy to say that it's exceptional, outstanding, exquisite and fun... Do not miss the occasion to taste their cocktails also! "
Dined on 5/14/2014
The menu reads like a dream but
the actual dishes were fairly ordinary. We were disappointed. The waitress and staff, however, were very friendly and helpful. "
Dined on 5/14/2014
All the recommendations were
fantastic. We will be back next time we visit SF."
Dined on 5/10/2014
Happy to have a reservation here
for lunch last Saturday, since we got the front table in the sunny window! Service was friendly and helpful in helping us decide how many plates to share. We enjoyed all the dishes we ordered, including the rum/beer/lemonade drink I had. "
Dined on 5/10/2014
beautiful food, service, and
heartfelt experience....."
Dined on 5/9/2014
The food was awesome - we were
with a group of four and shared a bunch of small plates. The waitress showed up to the table after we had been sitting at our table for literally 20 minutes. We wanted to order more tapas but since our waitress was MIA we decided to go get ice cream instead. I was with some friends who I hadn't seen in a long time so the missing waitress wasn't an annoyance - it more became the running joke of the night. "
Dined on 5/9/2014
I enjoy this place every time I
come into town. The mezcal margaritas are fantastic. I have everything on this menu and love it all."
Dined on 5/9/2014
We have gone to Lolo for many
years - everytime we had friends/relatives in town, this has been our destination with exceptional food & service. Unfortunately, it seems that moving onto Valencia to hit the big time hasn't worked out so well. Service is poor - the staff seemed overwhelmed and not so friendly, prices have gone up and food has declined - the panko seafood tacos that people come to Lolo specifically for (this was reported by the waiter) were cold, squishy and overwhelmed by pineapple chunks. Sitting towards the back, we got icky wafts of toilet odor. We'll be looking for a new go-to restaurant."
Dined on 5/3/2014
I arrived slightly late (10 min)
for our reservation and they were really kind about it, even turning people away while my friend waited for me. We started with cocktails and I was really, really impressed by the quality of their bartending. It's worth a visit solely to try their "windshield" cocktail, a smoky, perfectly balanced combination of mezcal, scotch, lemon, and bitters (if I am remembering correctly). We were hungry, so we got 5 plates between 2 people, and we probably could have done 4, but we were excited to try everything. Everything was delicious, but the avocado tacos were really incredible. We couldn't finish dessert, but the creme brulee and ice cream were both rich and satisfying. I definitely recommend checking them out."
Dined on 5/2/2014
I went to Lolo at its old location
and loved the food and the atmosphere, so I was eager to take two out-of-town guests for dinner at Lolo's new location on Valencia St. Unfortunately, I doubt that I will go back. Some dishes were just ok, some were quite good, and all are still very reasonably priced. But in addition to the restaurant being crowded, which was fine, it was filled with extremely loud technopop music, with no Latin flavor and no real character, but with a pounding bass. The high noise level, due to the music, made it difficult to converse without shouting and made the dining experience rather unpleasant. Lolo feels like a bar scene with food now. However, if you don't mind very noisy places, you may enjoy it."
Dined on 5/1/2014
The decor and the vibe give Lolo
something special. The food is a definite asset. The owners have created something unique and these people are definitely not color wimps. "

46% of Americans carry a balance on their credit card. Statistics show that people with rewards cards spend twice as much on average as people who don't.
"This is what gets folks into trouble because they try and use the cards because they want to get the rewards from it." says financial expert Melody Hobson.
But the economy has companies cutting back on reward programs.
"So, for example, american express has the delta sky miles card. And it used to be in certain places where you'd shop you'd get double points. Now you only get single points. Citi had premiere pass and in that situation, just for signing up you'd get 10,000 points. Now you have to spend $300 to get those points."
In many cases, companies are requiring you to spend more to get the same number of rewards.
Maybe you have to redeem more points to get something or they're actually shortening the expiration date so the rewards expire faster.
"Believe it or not, 41% of people who sign up for these programs never ever cash in the points at all. Reward programs are best for people who don't carry a balance."
On websites like creditrating.com and bankrate.com, you can compare credit cards and find the one that's best for you; likely one with little risk and maximum reward.

A new map on the Bureau of Planning and Sustainability's website offers a new tool to find 63 local Community-Supported Agriculture (CSA) farms that deliver fresh food to over 150 drop-off locations in Portland. Some farms even deliver to private addresses.
Community Supported Agriculture is a relationship between a farmer and member of the community. In a CSA, the community (households that are "shareholders" or "subscribers") provides the financial support for the season's farming by purchasing a share of the harvest or becoming a member of the farm. Once harvesting begins, shareholders typically receive weekly shares of seasonal vegetables. Some farms can also include fruit, eggs, dairy, meat and poultry.
"The CSA map is a great new tool for Portland residents to find fresh and healthful food in their own neighborhood while supporting local farmers," said Mayor Charlie Hales.
What is the advantage of buying food from a CSA Farm?
CSA members get the convenience of fresh food delivered to their neighborhood and trying new produce varieties that are grown for our region. In addition, CSA participants directly support the local economy, help protect farmland, and get to know their local farmer.
By committing in advance, shareholders also provide a significant benefit to farms by assuming some of the risk and enabling the farmer to cover up-front operating costs. CSA farming is a less wasteful system, as farmers plant according to their customers' demands. And farmers get a fair price for their labor by selling directly to consumers.
"It's great to see the City of Portland helping residents connect to local farms providing CSA shares. They are making it easier for Portlanders to connect to the amazing food we produce here in the region and to the farmers who are growing it. Now, folks can see which farms deliver to their neighborhood and learn how to contact those farms directly," said Josh Volk, Slowhand Farm.
Past Bureau of Planning and Sustainability research shows that the CSA farm model has grown. From 2008 to 2014 the number of CSA farms serving Portland grew from 23 to more than 60. From 2008 to 2012, sales at CSA farms doubled from $1 to $2 million.
Almost 4,000 Portland households support CSA farms. Potential CSA customers should choose their CSA farmer carefully to determine that he/she has the appropriate experience to deliver a diverse array of quality produce throughout the growing season. This list includes farms that deliver produce in the Portland Metro Area. Not all farms serving this area may be included. Inclusion in this list does not imply City of Portland endorsement of any particular CSA farm.

Through installation of approximately 2,000 systems by businesses and residents, Portland has seen its local solar electric capacity grow from under 4 MW to over 15 MW in the past five years. BPS's online Solar Map offers a dynamic way to view the growth and locations of residential and commercial solar installations throughout the metro area over the past decade.
Over the last two years, the clean energy team at BPS has researched various approaches to community solar. In 2013 generous funding from the Oregon Community Foundation's Penstemon Fund, Portfolio 21 Investments, Portland Development Commission, SolarWorld, Umpqua Bank and Wells Fargo launched the Solar Forward project. Solar Forward is a crowd-sourcing initiative that offers Portlanders a way to support the development of new, clean, local renewable energy.
At a recent media event, Hacienda Community Development Corporation (CDC) was named as the next solar installation site for Solar Forward. Hacienda CDC is a Latino community development corporation that strengthens families by providing affordable housing, homeownership support, economic advancement and educational opportunities.
The roof of Hacienda's new futsal court, part of the Ortiz Center, will soon host a 10 kilowatt solar photovoltaic array. The electricity from the system will offset some of the power used for the court's lights as well as the community center.
"Hacienda has long believed that environmental amenities should be available to Portlanders of all income levels," said Victor Merced, executive director, Hacienda Community Development Corporation. "We are excited for the opportunity to build on our commitment to green building in Cully with the addition of this partnership with Solar Forward."
Next steps for Solar Forward include coordinating a competitive RFP process to select a solar installation contractor later this spring. Visit www.portlandoregon.gov/bps/solarforward to keep up with project news.

Meet Marty Stockton, who stepped into her new role as Southeast District Liaison with the District Planning team in February 2014. A native Portlander with multigenerational roots in Southeast Portland, Marty has worked as a planner for the City of Portland at BPS and the Bureau of Development Services since 2006, building relationships with community members all over the city.
Since she started working at BPS, Marty has distinguished herself for her work with Portland's diverse communities, having led the public engagement process for the Portland Plan and now the Comprehensive Plan Update. Her strong commitment to historically underserved communities was recognized in 2012 and 2013 by the Office of Equity and Human Rights' New Portlanders Program with a "We Are Portland" award for engaging newcomer communities.
As a district liaison, Marty said she is "committed to working with Southeast Portland communities to navigate both the preservation and redevelopment efforts in the process of creating vibrant neighborhoods." She serves as a technical advisor and resource to Southeast Portland neighbors, organizations, businesses and institutions and meets with two or three neighborhood groups per week. The district spans from the Willamette River to the I-205 freeway, and from I-84 to Portland's southern border. BPS employs 6 other District Liaisons who play a similar role in other parts of the city, including two for the Central City.
Marty and her family have deep roots in Portland, reaching back to when her great-grandfather emigrated here a century ago from Germany. "Rumor has it that my great-grandmother was one of the first women to hit a hole-in-one at the Eastmoreland Golf Course," Marty claims. Her childhood memories of Southeast Portland include gardening on her family's leased plot in Ladd's Addition, "where my brother and I use to walk to the Ladd's Circle corner store for popsicles."
As a child she would drive with her mother through SE Portland to get to her aunt's house in Montavilla. "As long as I can remember, Portland has been changing – some of it good, some of it bad," she reminisces. "I became a planner because I wanted to make a difference in the way the city grows."
Having lived in several different Portland neighborhoods, she currently resides in Northeast with her husband and two daughters.

BPS E-News, April 2014
Did you know the City has a program to make ongoing improvements to the zoning code, even while we're updating the longer range Comprehensive Plan? This process of making small fixes on a regular basis is called RICAP, short for the Regulatory Improvement Code Amendment Package process.
Last summer, the Planning and Sustainability Commission (PSC) approved a work plan for the sixth Regulatory Improvement Code Amendment Package process – or RICAP 6. In January, staff released a Discussion Draft for public review and response. While RICAP 6 includes more than 40 code amendments based on public requests, including improvements to wireless facilities and construction staging regulations, the proposed new regulations around short-term rentals have generated the most interest among Portlanders.
Recently, BPS released the Regulatory Improvement Code Amendment Package 6 (RICAP 6): Proposed Draft, which updates the Discussion Draft and will be considered by the PSC at a public hearing on April 22, 2014.
The Proposed Draft has been refined based on the many comments received over a seven-week outreach period, including numerous meetings with neighborhood associations and district coalitions. A summary memo of the feedback on the initial short-term rental proposal captures the key ideas in support of and opposition to the proposed code amendments and contains staff's responses to questions and concerns.
Recently, there has been a dramatic increase all over the world in the number of residences being rented informally on a short-term basis through internet sites like Airbnb and HomeAway (peer-to-peer rentals). In Portland, for example, Airbnb's listings have jumped from 107 in January 2011 to more than 1,550 today. The most common listings are from hosts who live on their property and offer a bedroom for rent on a nightly basis in their home. This is a new way of providing visitor lodging accommodations, and many cities are determining how to regulate these new short-term rentals. We looked at New York, San Francisco, Cannon Beach, Ashland and Austin, Texas, among others, to help us create new regulations that fit our unique community.
In Portland, rentals of fewer than 30 days are considered short-term, and renting up to five bedrooms is allowed through the Bed and Breakfast Facilities chapter of the Zoning Code. But this process (a Type II Conditional Use Review) is expensive and time consuming, and it doesn't fit the scale of the smaller, more informal peer-to-peer-type rentals.
The proposed amendments offer one- and two-bedroom short-term rental operators a less expensive and faster process, while ensuring that surrounding neighbors are notified of the new activity.
On Tuesday, April 8, staff briefed the PSC on the proposed short-term rental code regulations, including an amendment to address safety concerns raised during the comment period. Testimony on the entire RICAP 6 package will be taken at the public hearing on April 22, with testimony and commission deliberation on the proposed short-term rental regulations following testimony on the remainder of the RICAP 6 proposals.

Spring cleaning season is here, with a focus on Earth Day in Portland. Neighborhoods all across Portland hold cleanup events to give residents a chance to reduce waste and unwanted clutter from their homes, basements or garages.
There are 47 neighborhood cleanup events scheduled throughout Portland during the spring months. Accepted materials at cleanups vary. Materials typically include bulky items like furniture, mattresses and appliances, hard-to-recycle materials, scrap metal, building materials and wood.
Neighborhood cleanups prioritize and promote both recycling and reuse over throwing away. Volunteers from neighborhood associations coordinate these events and have been offering more options for reuse and swapping at the events every year. Last year, 33 neighborhood cleanups incorporated onsite reuse options, allowing neighbors to take, swap or buy items immediately.
The seven Neighborhood Coalitions have listings of the scheduled cleanup events by neighborhood association.
Find contact information for your neighborhood association from the Office of Neighborhood Involvement or call 503-823-4519.
Contact the Bureau of Planning and Sustainability at 503-823-7202 for possible cleanup dates, locations, costs and accepted materials.
Celebrate Earth Day at Portland's largest community celebration on Saturday, April 26, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The free event takes place in Kenton Park in North Portland and has something for everyone: Live music, entertainment, kids' activities and information tables from a variety of organizations and businesses

Members of the United States Olympic Bobsled teams are in Mooresville for the weekend. The main purpose for their trip is to meet and visit with Hans deBot, who owns and operates deBotech, Inc. The company developed a carbon fiber technology used in the bobsleds that raced in Sochi earlier this year.
"It was kind of an endeavor," said deBot. "They said, "Look, we want you to do this. This is all we know." There's not a lot of data behind the things that they do know."
2014 Silver medalist Elana Meyers Taylor said, "He's been huge in just creating materials that really work, that really are fast. That's what he lended to bobsled that helped us so much. We wouldn't be where we are, I wouldn't have these medals, without Hans. It's amazing what he's been able to do for our sport."
While he is being recognized for success with bobsleds, Hans deBot owes the start of his business to auto racing.
"A lot of my friends that I had known asked me to help the NASCAR market, and that's really how I got my business started," he said.
Meyers Taylor added, "In our sport we're talking about hundredths of a second. So, our NASCAR guys have that kind of mind set, have that technology fighting for hundredths, and it's a really great seamless conversion to bobsled."
While the Olympic athletes are in town, they will meet and debrief with deBot. He plans to use the information gathered to improve the sleds.
"To really evaluate with the drivers, the coaches, and say, "Look, these are the things we need to improve on. Here's where we had troubles in the field," said deBot. "So any nuances that we can improve upon to help in the field, help in the setups of the sled, is only going to produce faster and faster sleds."

Feds Embrace Open Data
President Barack Obama signed an executive order establishing new standards and rules for open access to US government data. Along with this historic order, the Office of Management and Budget announced a new Open Data policy, spelling out changes in the government's approach for how data is acquired and stored. The US government was once a model for how not to manage data. Private companies were often awarded contracts for massive government studies that would result in mounds of data acquired at taxpayer expense. But the tools for extracting and analyzing the data were proprietary and often maintained by the company itself; and anyone who wanted access had to pay a large service charge. Few standards existed, which compounded the labor cost for anyone who needed to extract the data for academic, personal, or entrepreneurial reasons.

Cuts near 'worst case scenario'
The leader of Hastings Borough Council has said the planned reduction in the council's central government funding is 'close to our worst case scenario'. Hastings is due to have it's budget slashed by 14%. The average cut to other authorities in the south is 1.7%
– Cllr Jeremy Birch, Council leader
"This is certainly close to our worst case scenario in terms of budget planning. Overall we have experienced a 50% reduction in government finance to run the council since 2010.
"I obviously hope our record will make us eligible for the new efficiency grant. After all we have restructured the council, including dispensing with the post of chief executive, we have signed a joint waste contract with other East Sussex councils and a joint parks and gardens contract and the two will save us £1 million a year."

Events in Depot Plaza are nothing new, but the policy that governs when and how often they occur may soon be.
The Parks and Recreation Commission plans to update what it considers "overly restrictive" regulations at a study session during its regular meeting on Wednesday at 7 p.m. at City Hall.
Under the current ordinance:
- Events may have no more than 50 participants
- Six amplified music events per year
- Event times restricted to 12 p.m. — 4 p.m.
However, the city hasn't exactly enforced those rules, according to the Recreation Director Jenny Rogers.
"In recent years, the Parks and Recreation Commission has not adhered to these restrictions as they have become outdated and out-of-step with the community's desire for increased engagement with local events in the Plaza, and the need during the recent economic downturn, to support local businesses who are the lifeblood of the economic vitality of the town and its downtown corridor," Rogers wrote.
The new ordinance would:
- Eliminate the attendance cap of 50 people per event
- Increase the cap on live amplified events with amplified restrictions placed in the rules and regulations policy
- Change the time constraints on allowable amplified events from 12 p.m. — 4 p.m. to 11 a.m. — 8 p.m.
A previous attempt to change the rules in 2011 set off a debate in town. Some residents said the plaza should be open to events like flea markets and farmers markets, while others rejected the idea, saying the city shouldn't alter the existing ordiance that calls it "a park primarily for uses by the general public on a casual, unstructured basis."
At the time, Parks and Rec held three public meetings, mailed notices to more than 80 property owners and businesses, and incorporated much of the public feedback into a new policy that was presented to the City Council at its January 17, 2012 meeting, Rogers said.
"City Council had a number of excellent suggestions at its meeting last January that staff has attempted to incorporate into this latest revision draft," Rogers wrote.
Approved uses for the past four years:
- 2012: 14 approved events, 9 with amplified music/sound
- 2011: 11 approved events, 8 with amplified music/sound
- 2010: 14 approved events, 9 with amplified music/sound
- 2009: 11 approved events, 7 with amplified music/sound
Annual events on the Plaza include:
- The Art Commission's Summer Concert Series
- Comedy Night and Paint Off
- The Chamber of Commerce's Wine and Gourmet Festival
- Winterfest
Along with special events by local organizations including:
- The Bloom-A-Thon
- Business Advisory Board
- Dipsea Foundation
- Mill Valley Film Festival
- Mountain Play
- Tam High Music Boosters
- Youth Give

Demonstrators beat drums near U.S. flags and a mock vulture during a protest against layoffs at U.S. automotive supplier Lear in front of its factory on the outskirts of Buenos Aires August 8, 2014. The protesters were also demonstrating against U.S. District Judge Thomas Griesa's ruling at the centre of Argentina's debt battle with holdout investors. Argentina defaulted for the second time in 12 years last week after the government said it could not reach a deal with the holdout creditors, New York hedge funds that have been demanding face value on bonds they bought on the cheap after the country's economic crash in 2002. Jorge Capitanich, Argentina's cabinet chief, said Griesa still had the opportunity to suspend his ruling that orders Argentina to pay in full the New York hedge funds that previously refused to restructure their bonds before it resumes servicing its performing debt. Griesa has called a new hearing for Friday at 3 p.m. EDT (1900 GMT) to address recent public statements by the Argentine government, which has accused the veteran judge of over-stepping his remit and interfering in the affairs of a sovereign nation.

On Tuesday, Marlins outfielder Logan Morrison had to be pulled from a game with a strained muscle in the arch of his left foot. Initial reports were positive, but Morrison was wearing a protective boot after the game and sat out on Wednesday. He was then sent for an MRI, and while the Marlins have yet to make a statement, it would appear that Morrison is bound for the disabled list. From the Miami Herald:
Looks like Logan Morrison -- the Marlins' top hitter so far -- is headed to the disabled list. Just spotted him outside the clubhouse wearing a fresh, white hard cast on his left leg.
A reporter asked Morrison how long he thought he'd be out of action, and Morrison responded "about two weeks." Sounds right.
Through 15 games, Morrison owns a 1.061 OPS, by far the best among the team's starters. He's slugged half of the Marlins' eight home runs, and he's going to leave a void while he heals up. With luck, guys like Hanley Ramirez and Mike Stanton will step up in his absence.

Feminist Research Methodology (WGS 425)
Dr. Carie Forden
Across disciplines, feminists have developed critiques of traditional research methodology and theories of knowledge.

Harry, Donna,Rosemary, Dorothy and Steve. You are now thinking as one. I bet if we all continue to think as one, we will uncover a very pleasant surprise. Harry you are a lot smarter than you think. Your perception is superb. Rosemary, your perception is remarkable. The number 3 is extremely important in Sacred Geometry and everything else in our Universe also. Donna as you already know, a poinsetta has every element of the Golden Ratio unraveling in it constantly. Dorothy, take another look at the candy spearment leaves again notice how many seperating lines there are on the leaves. Steve, mer ka ba is a part of unraveling the mystery also. We might be getting close to the answer, and maybe it is right in front of us in plain view, and we are looking over it. Do you all see how we start to function so much better when we think together as one ? This is the way we are supposed to respond to many questions and challenges that we face now. Thinking together as one makes us feel better also. For us men, it may be a little hard at first, but for our women, it is as natural as giving birth to a baby. Continue to think in this way will strengthen all of us. I am glad that we are starting to think as one for many benificial reasons to all of us.
Excellent Reginald. In Sacred Greometry we have the Flower of Life with the Tree of Life.
When the centres of the circles are joined to each other through lines we have Metatron´s Cube.
It is one of the most important informational systems in the universe, one of the basic creation patterns of existence. (Drunvalo)
All the circles are female. The straight lines are male. From Metatron´s Cube other forms can be found.
On the Egyptian pillars the Tree of Life has one more circle which means that originally there were 12 components. I guess the Jewish Kabbalah removed 1 circle. Here again we have the number 12 which gives us 3. The area where the two circles intersect forms a vesica piscis.
The Merkaba is the energy lines that allow the life-force energy, the prana, the chi, to flow into you and from you back to God. It is your very connection to God. It is that which links you and God together as one.
I think you are absolutley right Victoria. We seem to be making all kind of changes inside and out.
12 strand activation of our DNA is also a very big part of what is happening to us as well. Harry has lead us right to the front door and we are all knocking at the door at the exact same time together. Does anyone know what I am talking about ? Let me know because we are all so close that the answer is right in front of us. Thanks Victoria and everyone else.
Yes Steve exactly, more right brain thinking from the heart is happening also.
Does anyone have the whole answer, because each of you have touched on it and then stopped.
I know you all know the answer.
Congratulations Rosemary.
That is the answer that all of us have been waiting for one of us to say.
Everybody else that answered also gave the same answers also. I was just waiting for one of us to pull it all together for the rest of us so that we can see how important we all are to our universe. My old saying about " All of us, or none of us" Still stands true. All of you are some of the most important elements in our Universe. Thank you for being a part of me as I am just as much a part of you. I am very grateful to all of you.
I have another way of studying Sacred Geometry and it is with altered audible frequencies and as you have said Harry, it is another way to study the Ancient Secrets of the Flower of Life. You guys are alright with me. All of you are seekers of wisdom and knowledge and it is really good to be in your company. Outside of our group, I rarely even speak of such knowledge in public. I am very blessed to be a part of all of you.
Thanks again for your constant contribution to my well being.
I learn so much from each and every one of you.
I am blessed and I know it.
Rosemary, you are a genius.
Thanks again.

With the Predator 2nd generation Z shafts, it's even easier to pocket balls using English. The new design is re-engineered to provide increased reduction in cueball deflection. The Z shaft has a slightly shorter ferrule than the new 314 shaft for enhanced performance. Joint inserts are mounted in a phenolic core for better surface contact and stability. The tip has also been improved to reduce mushrooming and increase the life of the tip. The result of these enhancements is overall improvement in playability over the 1st generation Predator shafts.

What?? It still misses 05/21/2013
Walt BensonIt must be the cue because I'm like Mosconi. Just kidding the shaft improves ball control nicely and transfers employed English correctly especially when I do it right! WaltI would recommend this product to a friend
Love this shaft 05/13/2013
James OddsonWhen I first got this shaft it took awhile to get used to playing with it. I had played for years with a thicker shaft and larger tip I'll never go back love the control I get.....great shaft!!!!I would recommend this product to a friend
Great buy 01/15/2013
Ronnie JacksonFinally bought the Z2 and it's amazing. I've since bought a predator QR1 and love it.I would recommend this product to a friend
I love this shaft 03/28/2012
Jonathan KaranjaI just started using the Z2 predator shaft and I love its accuracy. Having played for 16 years I am used to naturally factor in deflection when using extreme English so I am learning just stop doing that because this shaft literally has almost zero deflection. I love that its thinner and more precise. I highly recommend it anyone that loves this game as much as I do. I also want to thank Mariah from pooldawg customer support she was a great help by changing my shipping because of an oversight from their website. Thanks Mariah I got my cue right on time.I would recommend this product to a friend
Great Shaft 03/01/2012
Coty RichardsonI had never shot with this shaft and read a ton of great reviews on it and honestly just went with my instincts. Im very glad i bought this shaft. It has nearly zero deflection. Going from a 13mm to a 11.75mm is a little awkward at first but once you can adjust to that it's perfect.I would recommend this product to a friend
hooked for life 02/14/2012
brandan honestonever thought a shaft could make such a big difference...its amazing how much control i get out of this!I would recommend this product to a friend
Best Shaft EVER 01/23/2012
Jon KozloskiI hd the 314z for a while and wanted to try the Z2 best decision I have ever made! Once you get used to the smaller diameter shaft 11.75mm vs 13mm can be a big jump but it really is the best cue shaft I have ever used!I would recommend this product to a friend
What a difference!! 03/01/2011
Punit ChhabraI was using a Predator 314 2nd generation for the last 2 years. After bringing my game back up to par after a 20 year gap I noticed I was not able to get the accuracy spin and English necessary for more advanced shots. As far as I'm concerned you could use a broomstick for a butt with a Z2 and still have an advantage over someone using a different shaft. Trust me when I say there is nothing else like it out there! Hit 'em; straight.I would recommend this product to a friend

NEW YORK, Sept. 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Morgans Hotel Group today announced the launch of their new website, designed to bring the magic of the boutique hotel portfolio to the digital booking experience. On the heels of the successful launch of Back of House, the company's online culture and lifestyle magazine, Morgans Hotel Group will unveil an enhanced website that features a sleek new design, improved functionality and a seamless booking process that takes the guest through the reservation process in less than four clicks. The site also debuts Morgans Hotel Group's curated Google Maps that provide interactive guides to top attractions and destinations around each hotel. New York-based digital agency Firstborn was selected to conceptualize, design and build the dynamic new website.

"Morgans Hotel Group brings together the creative power of many—designers, artists, musicians—to constantly push the boundaries of what a hotel can be and the goal was for our new website to reflect this. By integrating curated Google Maps, tailored local content and social media assets, our guests can not only make reservations with ease and simplicity, but they can further engage with our brands and culture throughout the booking process."
Morgans Hotel Group selected Firstborn for the project based on their digital expertise and their joint vision of translating the company's brand values into experiences that touch both the digital and physical worlds. "Morgans Hotel Group was looking to build a global online experience that would not only act as the central place for booking rooms but also as the core destination for people to experience what the brand and its properties were all about," remarks Dan LaCivita, President of Firstborn. "Creating a captivating digital experience for Morgans Hotel Group, while executing a highly-transactional booking site, was an incredible opportunity for Firstborn and we are thrilled with the end result. We look forward to future projects together, and continuing our collaboration through mobile and on-property initiatives to create a truly integrated and unique experience for guests, both online and off."
The new website has been optimized to create the same user experience across all platforms including desktop computers, tablets and mobile devices. You can visit Morgans Hotel Group's new website at www.morganshotelgroup.com.

Report of Passwords Compromise
There has been a reported discovery that a Russian crime ring has collected 1.2 billion user-name and password combinations. The massive hacking involves confidential material from 420,000 websites, according to the security firm Hold Security. What should you do? At the very least, you should change your passwords for sites involving sensitive information, including financial, credit card and health information.
Here are several helpful ways to increase your online security in the face of these and other threats...

Our credit union home banking site was determined NOT to be compromised nor have we found any areas of operation to be affected.
An OpenSSL vulnerability was recently discovered that can potentially impact internet communications and transmissions that were otherwise intended to be encrypted. According to open source reports, the vulnerability has existed since 2012, but was only recently discovered. Many vendors have already begun issuing patches and have information posted on their websites and portals addressing the vulnerability and a plan of action. For example, as of 9 April 2014 entities like Google, Facebook, and Yahoo implemented patches to fix the vulnerability. Additionally, web browsers Firefox, Chrome, and Internet Explorer on Windows OS all use Windows cryptographic implementation, not OpenSSL, so they are not impacted; however, consumers should still use caution until the vulnerability has been fully addressed.

Cheyenne Light, Fuel & Power received a report today of yet another scam involving unknown parties impersonating Cheyenne Light personnel and demanding money.
According to the report, the fraudulent caller tells CLFP customers their electricity will be disconnected if they don't pay a specified amount by purchasing a pre-paid visa card. The fraud then tells the customer they would pick up the cash card at the customer's home.
The Cheyenne Police Department is aware of this scam. If you suspect fraud, immediately contact local law enforcement. If you have concerns or questions about Cheyenne Light employees, call Cheyenne Light at 866-264-8003
It's important to know that scammers can cause caller ID displays to mimic legitimate companies, making it appear as if the call is legitimate.
These scams often start with different stories and can involve any utility provider or other type of business. Regardless, the way to avoid falling victim is usually the same:

Boxelder Forks is a climbing area with about 20+ crack climbs. Many are very splitter and up to 100 feet in lenght. there have been no bolts or anchors on top of the routes as there are easy gear anchors, trees, or you can just walk off at the top. Many cracks go from fingers to offwidth so therefore take a wide selection of gear. Many have been cleaned of the major loose rocks, but use caution as they have not seen a lot of traffic. Most routes are in the 5.8 to 5.10 range and feature crack climbing where at times the most efficient way to climb them is with both hands and feet in the crack which seems to be a rarity in the South Dakota Black Hills.
Getting There
Take Boxelder Forks Road directly behind Nemo to the Boxelder Forks campground. Park just before the bridge before getting to the campground and take the trail that passes the campground on the opposite side of the creek from the campground. Walk about 10 minutes and you will start to pass a large talus field on your right. There will be some cool looking rock on the top of the ridge. This is not it. The majority of the routes are just down and left from the "good looking rock". There are also about 5 routes on the West facing wall the is easiest to access by passing this wall an the left going over the ridge and to the west. You can then scramble down to the top of the cliff and rapel off with one rope. If you are in the right spot you will be able to see Job Corps below you and to the northwest. There are several pictures on this site of Boxelder Forks under the South Dakota Page. You also pass a wall right above the creek after about a mile in that has two very nice routes and probably several others. One has a crack that goes directly to the summit of a small tower and is about 130 feet long. The other starts right next to the water and has 6-7 bolts on it and finishes with gear. The latter may have been unknowingly retro bolted by me as Brent probably did it in 82. I did however clean the crap out of both and are of much higher quality than when I started. Both are in the 5.7-5.8 range. Looks like there are several more possible routes on this wall.

spaces in username causing problems
I actually thought this was a missing page problem but it seems to be an error based on the space in my username. When I go to "edit profile" it says "page missing". When I put the %20 where it should be, it pulls up fine.
Has anyone found a fix / workaround for this?
