Sunday Times journo witnesses mobile footage of gang rape, by CNN Anderson Cooper.
Interesting news reported few days before the insurgency started on the status of the SCUD B's in Libyan arsenal.
From RAF internet site
In the attack on May 24, the radar head at the station was destroyed with a single Dual Mode Seeker Brimstrone missile. While the missile is designed for use against vehicles, and usually only used in that role, it was chosen as the most appropriate weapon for a precision strike.
The relatively small warhead on the Brimstone missile meant that the aircrew could destroy the radar without destroying the building, and also ensure the risk of death and injury was minimised. All NATO strikes are carried out after full checks have been made to minimise collateral damage.
Aircrew also choose weapons and attack tactics in line with this principle. The destruction of the radar degrades the Qadhafi regime's ability to monitor shipping and direct attacks against NATO or civilian vessels. This is the first time in Operation ELLAMY that Brimstone has been used against a target that was not a vehicle.
By the way, this statement "This is the first time in Operation ELLAMY that Brimstone has been used against a target that was not a vehicle." clarifies that the missiles/bombs used agaist the Libyan Navy ships few days ago were not Brimstones.
In this Libyan operation it seems that all the different involved countries want to highlight their newest weapons systems... It's close to a military parade of the latest aerospace systems a part for U.S.
Just some combat debuts:
Rafale (not combat debut, but first wide operational use)
JAS-39 Gripen
SCALP EG / Storm Shadow
Brimstone missile
Charles De Gaulle aircraft carrier in its intended role of strike carrier
Now they want to expose Tiger helos...

I have followed this thread with a lot of interest and it's been great when people stick to photos & videos and not arguing & politics. Over at the International Ammunition Association where I am a member we have maintained a very popular and long thread about strictly Libyan ordnance & munition photos, many of which are not shown in this thread: http://iaaforum.org/forum3/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=10288
Classy PR technic : instill a reasonable doubt/repeat it x10 (for how long these rumors of mass rapes were running ?) and you don't need any proof
Three pics up...a young Jerry Garcia.
Agreed (and it is the same all around the world). When i said dispatched, i meant (like you concluded) toward/in official institutions (like the ICJ/UNSC...). So far nothing of thatI don't think releasing vids of gang rape to the public is a great idea. When that same **** happens here in the US, you won't have the vids running around, but they'll be used in court
If they're legitimate, they'll be seen in court somewhere
Some news (gathered on another forum, sourced from a french newspaper Air et cosmos)
On the BPC "Tonnerre" : 12 Gazelles, (at least 7 Gazelle with night vision reco/targetting systems Viviane)
2 to 4 Tigres (no more than 6 anyway due to the number available)
Some 11e Regiment d'artillerie de marine (RAMA) coastal targetting and naval artillery targetting specialists onboard

Iron Age Boots: Men's Steel Toe Metatarsal Guard EH Hiking Boots IA3288
Very comfortable boots....
By: Pudlo
I bought these boots to wear outside of work because I have a bad ankle. They have held up great and don't bother my ankle at all. They seem to be made very well and have lasted longer than what all the other hiking boots I have ever bought have. They are comfortable and have a lot of ankle support, which is what I was looking for. I would recommend these.

Great work boots....
By: Pudlo
I work in heavy industrial setting, and these boots hold up very well. Very comfortable. The leather material withstands the dirt and mud I sometimes have to work in. I have bought several of these pairs of boots and have always had good luck with them. They are very supportive of my ankles, and standing on my feet all day, this helps.

I've had two of these headsets and would buy another if necessary. The price is very good, and the sound (I watch movies) is great. The sound cancelling feature leaves a bit to be desired, but this headset is very affordable. Also, this headset is very "floppy", but it is comfortable to wear for long periods, and is easy to adjust. Why is this my second identical headset? I broke a plastic piece that holds one ear phone on the first one.

But Gene and Micah have balancing acts of their own to perform, and a secret in their blood that could unlock the mysteries of Ellada.
More Information: strangechemistrybooks.com
Praise and Reviews:
"Who hasn't dreamed off running off and joining the circus? Laura Lam's Micah does just that, discovering a world of clowns and acrobats, con men and tricksters, corruption and incompetent doctors, and maybe more about himself. I look forward to more from this author."- Brian Katcher, author of Almost Perfect and winner of the 2011 Stonewall Children's and Young Adult Literature Award
"Micah is the most wonderful, complex, brave and contemporary teenage hero I've read, facing issues of identity and responsibility that will resound with any reader who has felt like an outsider. Pantomime is loving in its detail but hints at so much scope to come, it feels like the set up for an epic sequel. I raced through this book, desperate to know what happens next. 'Look out behind you', Robin Hobb..."- Bryony Pearce, author of Angel's Fury.
"Welcome to a world of shills and showmen, fading tech and circus freaks, where nothing and no-one is what it appears. An absorbing, accomplished debut."- Elspeth Cooper, author of the Wild Hunt series

Are you still using straight up old school CSS for your stylesheets? Stop. Right now. Do yourself a favor and take a day to learn about modular CSS, whether it be Sass or Less.
It's important to keep in mind that we separate style out of the structure for several reasons: to avoid duplication, to make it easier to maintain code, and to have the ability to reuse content with different styles for different purposes. If done correctly, we have smaller file sizes, which leads to faster page loads times, which results in happier users and more favorable search engine rankings. Modular CSS takes this idea and injects it with steroids. Not only does it help keep the website file structure stay as organized and clean as possible, it's also a super fun to code in.
As mentioned before there are a couple of different languages to accomplish this, however will this article will focus on Sass. While I can't go very in depth, here are a few general pointers to help you get more bang for your buck.
Nesting is without a doubt one of the easiest ways to build a better stylesheet. This bit of Sass code:
Pretty cool huh? Though this bit of code doesn't do very much, tied together with the following this can save us a ton of typing.
Variables are absolute life savers. One of the easiest way to see their power, is to make a color variable:
Mixins are personally one of my favorite parts of Sass. Here's a simple example:
You can see in Sass that
.navigation and
.footer are separate, but after we process the code, our CSS is nice and clean because
.footer is inheriting the color property. This saves us file size as well as time, because we only have to declare the
color element once instead of twice.
This is just the tip of the iceberg of the power of Sass. I may write more articles that go more in depth that are specific to Sass if you guys want. Just let me know in the comments. In the meantime here are a few links to learn more about the topic. Stay Sassy Web Diego.

Evgenia Peretz: When Insiders Attack
Last week brought us two extraordinary testimonies from Washington insiders—Scott McClellan's much-discussed bombshell and the admission of CNN's Jessica Yellin to Anderson Cooper that "The press corps was under enormous pressure from corporate executives, frankly, to make sure that this was a war presented in a way that was consistent with the patriotic fever in the nation and the president's high approval ratings." Predictably, McClellan and Yellin's former employers were enraged, and attempted to wave these two off as disgruntled employees on the sidelines.
What was less predictable was the outrage coming from the media's more left-leaning columnists. In her post, "Scotty Come Lately," Arianna Huffington dismissed McClellen's testimony with this: "Interesting stuff, Scott. But about five years too late. How many times are we going to have a key Bush administration official try to wash the blood off his hands—and add a chunk of change to his bank account—by writing a come-clean book years after the fact, pointing the finger at everyone else while painting himself as an innocent bystander to history who saw all the horrible things that were happening but, somehow, had no choice but to go along?" On Saturday, The New York Times's Bob Herbert threw in a hefty dose of self-righteousness. "I guess it's official now since we have a Bush administration insider, Scott McClellan, telling us that the war in Iraq was a monumental strategic blunder, and that it was sold cynically and deceitfully to a craven Congress and to a public still traumatized by the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. Some of us already knew that, Scott. Some of us knew it at the time."
Really? Like the news reporters at The New York Times?Yellin's admission on CNN was similarly sneered at by the Huffington Post—because she hadn't said enough. When she dared to clarify her statement—which hardly changed its essential meaning—the HuffPost's Chez Pazienza jumped down her throat, alleging she had made a "sharp U-Turn." "For just a moment," he declared, not letting the lack of any facts get in the way of his fantasy, "Jessica Yellin spoke her mind and pulled back the curtain to reveal the reality of what went on within America's spineless news media during the rush to war—then thought the better of it and either through subtle coercion or with the unfortunate knowledge that her career may be on the line, 'corrected' herself."
McClellen and Yellin aren't whistleblowers. Neither is pretending to be a hero. But both of their testimonies help shade in the story of how we got into this war. That's a good thing. That's what we should want. For such knowledgeable insiders to get slammed because they didn't lose their jobs in the process isn't going to help.

(This is a guest column from Juliet Abram)
This is my personal story of being abused, first by my mother, then by a rapist-"boyfriend," and then by AA. Each form of abuse predisposed me to be a victim of the other, and I had to escape all of them.
I learned in therapy that my low-self esteem and vulnerability left me open to being hurt. I got these feelings at home, from my mother. Then other abusers found me. Abusers like easy targets, such as people who are starved for love or attention or who fear being abandoned. I also used alcohol to tamp down my feelings of shame and disgust from being emotionally, physically, and sexually abused.
Then, I went to Alcoholics Anonymous, where I really suffered abuse. I was sentenced to AA after escaping a guy who raped me, refused to let me go free, and made me steal for him. I either went to AA, or I'd be thrown in jail. But AA only made me remember his death threats and heightened my helplessness and despair. One woman explained to me that you had to expect to be raped when you're drunk. I needed to accept my "part in it." If I ever criticized AA, I was being an "AA Basher."
In therapy, I was preoccupied with my issues with AA. I drank rather than fighting my battles in AA. After my third DUI, my AA boyfriend kicked me out and kept our four-year-old daughter, leaving me to move back to my parents' house with my 10-year-old son from a previous relationship. Then the court ordered me into residential treatment the winter of 2011-2012. On visitation days, my mom would give elaborate speeches to the group about being a heartbroken mother. Her theatrics resulted in other parents applauding her. The family counselor noticed my reactions: Gripping the seat of my chair, hugging my stomach, and keeping my head down. The counselor made me aware for the first time that my mother had a personality disorder.
My mother carried the delusional view that she was a very good person and everyone was out to destroy her. My mom arrived at rehab with photographs of my bedroom full of unpacked boxes (she wouldn't allow me to unpack), which she said proved that I hated her. She demanded to know why I suddenly began hating her at age 15. At that age I asked her for help because I was cutting myself. The next year she accused me of being on drugs and staged an intervention. "Julie needed tough love," she said, "She's like this because of what my brother did to me." My feelings were ignored because my mom had to make it about her.
And so, the AA accusation that alcoholics are people unable to recognize their wrongdoings and character defects sounded familiar to me. The "fellowship" had the same symptoms as a narcissist! And, once again, I was defenseless. A narcissist is never wrong, just as if you relapse in AA it is your fault, never AA's fault. Narcissists see everyone as their mirror, and if you agree with them all is well. If you disagree, you are an enemy. The AA members I met became instantly defensive whenever I criticized AA. They were like my mother!

Survey: iPads the choice of 84% of companies buying tablets
Apple's going to need to keep those supplier factories in China running 24/7 just to meet the demand from corporate buyers. A new ChangeWave Research survey of 1,604 corporate buyers shows that not only are about one in five companies planning on purchasing tablets for employees, but of those companies a whopping 84 percent say that they plan to purchase iPads.
That last number is up seven percent from the previous survey, which was done in November of 2011. With the Apple number going up, logically the share for other manufacturers will be declining. ChangeWave's numbers show that the percentage of companies planning to purchase tablets made by Apple arch-rival Samsung is a distant 8 percent. The results are even worse for companies like Lenovo and Motorola, which are the choice of only 2 percent of respondents respectively.
ChangeWave also asked the corporate buyers which wireless data carrier they planned to use for the new tablets. The results were split nearly 50-50, with 30 percent of respondents hitching their tablets to the AT&T wagon and 29 percent following the Verizon path. Only 4 percent said they'd choose Sprint -- which doesn't currently carry the iPad -- and 11 percent said they'd forego a wireless plan. The rest of the respondents? They really weren't sure.

I've heard a faint buzz over the past few months that Kate Spade will soon launch a new lifestyle brand called Kate Spade Saturday – have you heard this too? Then recently the rumors were confirmed in Elle magazine and it's true –Ohhhh, exciting!
According to Elle, "Kate Spade is bringing a bit of weekend fun to your wardrobe and home decor with its new lifestyle brand, Kate Spade Saturday. The line will first debut in Tokyo in February and then in the U.S. for Spring 2013." This looks like Kate's hip little sister, doesn't it? Very fresh and energetic and BRIGHT! I've read in other spots around the web that the line will priced a bit lower, too. Sounds good to me.
In addition to fashion, they're also planning a home and tabletop collection. I'm really looking forward to seeing it. From the photos I've seen online, the collection is very bold, graphic and mostly primary colors like yellow, red and blue but also tons of monochromatic love mixing crisp white with bold black.
I can't wait to find out more about this collection and to finally SEE with my own eyes what all the fuss is about… What do you think based on what you've seen and heard so far?
Speaking of Kate Spade, have you seen the shoes for Keds they are doing? Super cute and available in February. Also, do you own a copy of their new book, "Things We Love"? It just arrived from Amazon today, I'm in love with it! Check out my Instagram stream to see picks from inside.

Make it work! Are you a Project Runway fan? Who isn't, right? Okay so maybe you know by now that the winner from last season was fashion designer Gretchen Jones (also a blogger!). Her rocker chic bohemian-ness is so cool I think but it goes wayyyy beyond her fashion sense – this lady lives how she feels and dresses – effortless style is just her way of life. I love her Brooklyn apartment, there is a massive spread on Refinery 29 today all about it with 24 photos so this is only a peeky peek. Her moody blue-gray walls make her artwork really stand out. I also like how she uses some of her canvas pieces as mini-ledges to display collected elements.
All of the art and pattern in her apartment is quite cool – very eclectic and anything goes. To see more photos, including her closet and bedroom, click here. These gorgeous photos were shot by Maia Harms.

One of my favorite American interior designers is Betsy Burnham. I'm consistently lured in by her unique work and how personal her touch is – it is so very Betsy. I loved watching a video recently showing her in action (see below) as she dressed a window at a shop in LA called Fuller + Roberts for the most recent Legends of La Cienega event. When I taught a moodboard workshop at Anthropologie in LA last summer, Betsy joined me to share her tips and tricks and was a real crowd pleaser and I was honored big time, a memory I'll cherish for years!
Everyone loves Betsy, I know I'm a big fan. One look at her happy pattern-filled portfolio and really, how can you not?

This company hasn't been blogged yet, in fact they just released their line 3 days ago! I was so pleasantly surprised to come across this fabulous new brand because they are not only beautiful and on trend but these talented Icelandic designers live in nearby Berlin! Small world! Tinna and her partner Ingvir head up Dottir & Sonur, a multidisciplinary design firm specializing in products for the home. This is very hot off the press so enjoy this premiere peek!
Ingvi and Tinna met nearly 8 years ago and have collaborated on lots of projects, experimenting with everything from corporate identity to web design and now product design. Ingvi is a web developer and designer and Tinna has a masters in packaging design and they live in Berlin with their little ones, Hjalmar and Solveig. I am in love with the lightlace shown above, it's amazing!
I also like that they've got a little origami-inspiration action going on as this is a growing trend in design motifs and I find origami just lovely and so fresh used in this way. Currently, their products are only available on their website or by contacting Tinna directly at: order AT dottirandsonur.com but they are looking for retailers to take them on so contact them if you have a shop and you're interested!
Spread the word about Dottir & Sonur, I'd love to see more of their work because I think they're very talented!

MJX F45 mods and information
Here is the english manual for the F45.
Here is a link to a 2000mah 2s 7.4 volt battery that will give better flight times and uses the stock JST plug.
Replacement Servo Arm only.
These are the parts I use for my brushless conversion. Prices where those in effect at time of purchase. MJX is full brushless now with new Flysky receiver running 11.1 volts for main motor and receiver system and a separate 7.4 volt battery for the tail ESC.

I'm trying to educate myself on doing brushless conversions. The pictures and links to the parts you use are helpful but is there a manual on "How To"? You know, directions, pictures of what wires go where, etc. Your title above "English Manual For F45 PLUS BRUSHLESS CONVERSION" indicates there is such but maybe I don't know how to download it or find it. I see the F45 manual but it doesn't have anything on brushless conversions. I don't own an F-45 yet but do have a DH 9116. Could I use the same parts you've listed here for that Brushless conversion?
Thanks for any help you can provide.
|Aug 24, 2012, 04:19 PM
There is no manual. I will write something up this weekend and post here.
|Aug 26, 2012, 05:20 PM
|Sep 28, 2012, 01:38 PM
Hook up
There really is not much to wiring this conversion.
On your ESC, You have 3 wire on one end that will all go to the motor. Just solder plugs on them and on the motor and that part is done.
On the other end, there are 2 power wires that you need to solder on a plug to fit your battery type making sure to coordinate the red and black so they match the red and black on the battery.
You then have only the servo plug left to plug into the throttle servo port on the PCB. Make sure you have thye white wire facing the same direction as the 2 existing plugs.
When installing the new brushless motor, you will need to enlongegate the screw holes for adjustment of the motor for proper gear clearance. You will also have to grind some material from the front of the motor mount area for the wires to pass through.
I use 11.1 Volts dedicated for the Main motor and a smae 7.4 Volt battery to supply the PCB, Servos, and tail motor. This just needs to be plugged into the stock battery location.
The prefered method of powering up is the plug in the 7.4 volt battery, bind the TX, and after it is bound, plug in the 11.1 volt battery to the brushless ESC. It will go through it's initialization beeps and then you are ready to fly.

What type of tail motor did you used? How many KV of tail and main motor? I have 5000kv outrunner brushless.. Is it suitable for main motor? The reinforce blade is for esky lama?
|Oct 19, 2012, 06:46 PM
A 5000kv would be fine with 9 or 10 tooth pinion on 7.4 volts. It is too fast for 11.1 volts.

The blades are Extreme production made for honey bee. Just some small modding to make them fit. The hole needs to be enlarged and the outer part of the root needs a little grinding. You also need a small shim to get rid of clearance between the blade root and blade holder.
The stock pinion and 7.4 volt will be just fine with the blade change.

Added brushless tail motor and new receiver system
I just got finished converting my MJX to full brushless.
I used a Turnigy 9X transmitter and a FlySky 6ch Receiver I had from a 450.
I used a HK401B Gyro just because I had some extras and it was convenient to try.
The motor is a T1811-2000 2000KV Turnigy with a Hobby King Plush 6 amp Speed controller. I disconnect the Red wire from the speed controller to the Gyro because the Gryo is supplied power from the receiver.
The receiver is supplied power from the Main motor ESC which is running 11.1 Volts supplied by a 1500mah 11.1 volt battery..
The Tail ESC and motor is supplied power by a 500mah 7.4 volt battery.
The binding procedure is, turn on the transmitter and set throttle hold, plug in the main 11.1 volt battery and wait to bind, then plug in the 7.4 volt tail motor ESC and wait for it to initialize.
I am using the stock F45 blade and have too much power. I had to de-tune the tail motor output and am still tuning the gyro system. I have pretty much got ride of the tail wag. I have a 1500kv motor I may try that would result in lower output, probably closer to what is required.
Update: After I set the rudder throttle range on the tail motor ESC, all the tail wag went away and the rudder response is normal. I have the rudder exponential at 30% which makes it very smooth.

BThirsk Hello! Look here I am again .. kk!
Sorry, but I have the same doubt Buddy Up! Say I'm going to do the conversion of the main engine for brushless first.
I have to solder some wires to the motor and the controller card? I do not understand much of it. Well, the battery 500mha, I just call the normal way instead of the original battery, right? I need adapters, use the same case for you you use? And for another, what changes should I make? Example: I put a brushless motor in place of the original engine. The speed controller, and battery that goes only to the main engine, where I care?
If you can help thank you very much! Hugs!

Hi guys, I notecied almost everyone is using the EH200 which is very often out of stock on HK. Are there any other motors I can use for brushless AC mod?
Between, isn't there a FAQ about RC parts? I still didnt get what does means those 1800KV, 4200KV and inrunner/outrunner at the motors, then 2S and 20S at the batteries etc. Im an amateur, I'm browsing about RC almost 3 days nonstop and there is still a lot of thing I dont understand

In runner is a motor for stage length indoors.
Out Runner is a motor for stage length in the open.
About 1S, 2S, 3S, occurs by the number of battery cells. For Brushless motors, depending on their power, as the EH200, we use a 3S battery. Any questions just post.
I heard about the 2625 Brushless Motor, if you look for it!

This highly publicized genetic diagnosis of a common disease forced the realization that everybody may be a test away from having a preexisting condition. No longer is genetic testing limited to rare diseases that affect small populations (Huntington's chorea) or diseases that affect specific racial or ethnic groups (sickle cell anemia and Tay Sachs disease). The Human Genome Project (HGP) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has nearly completed mapping the human genome, and almost every week another mutation linked to a type of cancer, heart disease, or other condition is identified. Investigators indicate that soon the DNA base pairs that determine an independent personality, or possibly an addiction, will be identified (Orkin and Motulsky, 1995). This new frontier of scientific knowledge has grown to a point where everyone is vulnerable.
Not only do people wonder what predictions could be made from the personal genome, but they also wonder who else will have access to the information. In this age of computers, information is a commodity. Vital statistics, be they financial, academic or health related, seem to be little more than datum points that can be entered into any number of banks. Is any of it confidential? Should it be? Who owns it? Who has the right to access it?
At the same time, the Kassebaum-Kennedy bill, which addressed the portability of insurance coverage and exclusion from coverage on the basis of preexisting conditions, focused attention on the reality of insurance discrimination. The fact that the Kassebaum-Kennedy bill specifically disallowed exclusion from coverage on the basis of genetic information highlighted the concept that genetic information may be equivalent to a preexisting condition. The possibility of stigmatization or discrimination is now a concern for the entire population.
Lobbying activity for the Kassebaum-Kennedy bill also provided numerous opportunities for the public airing of the ever powerful anecdote (Billings, 1993; Hudson et al., 1995).
A woman who is pregnant with a child diagnosed with cystic fibrosis is told that if she carries her child to term, her insurance

Fla. author's book confused with '50 Shades'
PARKLAND, Fla. (AP) — The author of a book called "Shades of Gray" says her work is being confused with that of a chart-topping erotic fiction writer.
Susanne Jacoby Hale, an author based in Florida, says she has received emails, Facebook messages and phone calls from people thinking she wrote "Fifty Shades of Grey."

4:30 PM: The tow trucks were there when our crew arrived a short time ago. One lane on Roxbury was blocked eastbound, and 8th was blocked pending removal of the cars. No injuries, we're told.
Update: Pickup goes sideways on westbound bridge by Walking on LogsOctober 28, 2014 at 12:50 pm | In West Seattle news, WS breaking news | 12 Comments
12:50 PM: The westbound lanes of the Fauntleroy end of the bridge are blocked by the crash in the photo (thanks to Phillip for sending it) – a
vehicle pickup truck gone sideways. More to come.
1:03 PM: We're looking at the scene from the pedestrian overpass nearby. Westbound blocked, one lane open eastbound. Ambulance at the scene; Seattle Fire has cleared.
1:23 PM: Traffic is being routed around the scene on the right, as shown on the nearby SDOT camera. A commenter says the people in the pickup were OK; we're checking with SFD regarding whether anyone was taken to the hospital.
1:33 PM: Pickup's being towed. (And a few minutes later, via scanner: "Bridge open both ways.")

3:55 PM: Seattle Fire is sending a "rope rescue" response for what might be a window washer in trouble on a building in the 4800 block of California SW. You might hear/see a TV helicopter shortly, too. More to come.
3:58 PM: Per scanner, the window washer is reported to be OK on a 4th-floor balcony, so some of the SFD units are being canceled.
4:06 PM: The last SFD units were leaving as we arrived – all's well, incident over.
Update: 2-car crash in High Point, 2 people hurt, 1 rescued by Good SamaritanOctober 19, 2014 at 8:11 pm | In High Point, West Seattle news, WS breaking news | 21 Comments
(WSB photo, substituted for cameraphone photo that was originally published)
8:11 PM: Big Seattle Fire/Police response on the way to Sylvan Way/SW Morgan in High Point, for a reported two-car crash, with one car on fire, and people reported to be trapped in the other car. More to come.
8:22 PM: Two people are reported to be injured – one seriously. The scene is just east of Neighborhood House's High Point Center at Sylvan/Lanham, on the westbound side of the road. The more-seriously hurt patient will be taken to the hospital by SFD medic unit, the other by private ambulance. Police are investigating the possibility of DUI.
8:38 PM: Eastbound lanes will be reopened soon, police are saying, while westbound will be closed a while. The crash involved a Honda Pilot and Subaru Forester (the latter is the one that caught fire, and is in the foreground of our top photo). At this point, the Traffic Collision Investigation Squad is *not* being called out, which indicates they expect both people to survive. A 128 bus was having some trouble getting through the area a few minutes ago, so if you rely on that route, you might seem some delays.
9:34 PM: SPD just announced via emergency radio that Sylvan is open again, both ways.
10:08 PM: Just published to SFD's Fire Line website, a summary identifying the Subaru's driver as a 26-year-old man who was pulled, unconscious, from the burning vehicle by a Good Samaritan before fire crews arrived. He was "alert, oriented and conscious when medics transported him to Harborview Medical Center," SFD reports. The driver of the Honda Pilot is described only as male; he's the one who was taken to the hospital by private ambulance, indicating less-serious injuries.
West Seattle traffic alert: Junction crash on CaliforniaOctober 11, 2014 at 11:34 pm | In West Seattle news, WS breaking news | 44 Comments
California SW is at least partly blocked between Oregon and Alaska in The Junction right now because of that multiple-car crash. At least one person is hurt, though the injuries aren't likely major – a private ambulance is at the scene. Not sure how long it'll take to clear, but if you're headed that way, you'll want to detour onto 42nd or 44th.
WSB's Katie Meyer is at the scene and says the white car in the photo above this line was reported to be U-turning when the black car (top photo) collided with it.
Early-morning traffic alert: Crash at Olson/1stSeptember 27, 2014 at 2:16 am | In West Seattle news, WS breaking news | 3 Comments
If you're headed toward or away from Highway 509, note that Seattle Fire and Police are currently at a crash scene at Olson/1st (map). SFD says a 31-year-old man was taken to the hospital in "stable condition" after crashing his car into a pole. Also per SFD, the car caught fire and bystanders rescued the man from it. Officers have called for an SDOT crew to come clean up fluid on the roadway.

Update: Suspected DUI driver hits taxi, parked car in north Morgan JunctionSeptember 20, 2014 at 10:27 pm | In West Seattle news, WS breaking news | 10 Comments
(Ford at right is the suspect's car; at left, parked car that was hit)
ORIGINAL REPORT, 10:27 PM: A driver is in custody, under investigation for DUI, after a multiple-scene crash north of Morgan Junction.
(Taxicab that was hit, ending up on southbound California)
First scene was on the southbound side of California just south of SW Raymond (map), where the suspect is reported to have hit a cab, then driven eastbound on SW Raymond, going over a traffic circle, and coming to a stop after hitting a parked car on Raymond between 42nd and 41st.
(Traffic circle, with shrubbery torn out when car went over it)
Police, fire, and witnesses all tell us no one was hurt; witnesses say the allegedly intoxicated driver stayed at the second scene and seemed aware of what he had done. SFD has cleared the scene but it might take a while for the wrecked cars to be cleared on Raymond; the taxi on California is already gone. Thanks to everyone who texted and tweeted about this.
UPDATE, 5:49 PM SUNDAY: The driver, 39 years old, spent five and a half hours in jail before getting out this morning; his bail was $1,000.
Video: 'Heavy rescue' for industrial injury on West Marginal WaySeptember 16, 2014 at 11:25 am | In West Seattle news, WS breaking news | 1 Comment
(Above, building at Fog-Tite where accident happened)
11:25 AM: Seattle firefighters are at another "heavy rescue" call, this time in the 4800 block of West Marginal Way (map). SFD says it involves "man who has his arm trapped in cement mixer," and they've extricated the patient. We hear from Cathy that traffic is getting by both ways; the emergency equipment is on the southbound side, so take care if you'll be using W. Marginal in that area any time soon.
12:06 PM: Our crew reports that a 34-year-old man got his arm stuck in a cement-mixer auger; SFD used heavy-rescue tools to free him, over the course of about 15 minutes, and he was taken to Harborview Medical Center. SFD units have now left the scene; we got a quick briefing there from spokesperson Kyle Moore, and
will add video when it's uploaded. the video is above.
Update: Car hits building's gas meter in Highland Park; no one hurtSeptember 16, 2014 at 9:01 am | In Highland Park, West Seattle news, WS breaking news | Comments Off
9:01 AM: Moving this over from our morning traffic watch: Seattle Fire is on the scene of a crash described as a car hitting a building in the 7900 block of 9th SW (map). Everyone got out of the car OK, SFD reports, but it hit the gas meter, so they're calling in Puget Sound Energy.
9:04 AM: Our crew at the scene reports the aforementioned gas leak is very noticeable in the immediate area – so stay clear of there for now. No major traffic effects, though. This happened at an auto-repair shop at 9th/Kenyon.
9:22 AM: Replaced our original photo with a wider view showing the scene – the black car with the open doors is the one that hit the building, and it's since been pulled out:
Also, PSE has shut off the gas, and the SFD crews will be pulling back too.
Update: Driver to hospital after going sideways at 42nd/DakotaSeptember 12, 2014 at 6:14 am | In West Seattle news, WS breaking news | 17 Comments
(Added: WSB photo)
6:14 AM: Emergency responders are arriving in the 4000 block of 42nd SW on a "heavy rescue" call that involves a flipped car, according to someone who called us (thank you).
6:19 AM: Some of the units have been canceled – the person in the vehicle, reported to be on its side, got out without having to be cut out. No word on injuries yet; our crew is en route.
6:34 AM: Just added a photo. The car – reported to be owned by a rental company – is up on the sidewalk, and police are trying to figure out how that happened. Its driver is being taken to the hospital by private ambulance. Police say he told them he was westbound and remembers hitting the traffic island just before the car landed on the sidewalk on the north side of Dakota, a few houses east of California. No traffic effects now but once a tow truck arrives, that will cause some 42nd/Dakota logistics challenges for a bit.
8:42 AM: Car's gone, scene clear.
Update: Car-motorcycle collision at 16th/Holden, 2 hurtSeptember 11, 2014 at 7:13 pm | In Highland Park, West Seattle news, WS breaking news | 14 Comments
7:13 PM: … That's what the big response is for. Two people hurt, but neither lost consciousness, per scanner.
7:22 PM: We are at the scene. Two people were on the motorcycle, both taken to the hospital by private ambulance. The crash scene is on Holden west of 16th, at the 7-11 driveway. No life-threatening injuries. It's suspected the collision happened because the sun got in everybody's eyes, police told us.
7:39 PM: Added a photo. At top, police officers and firefighters were cleaning up the scene, including lifting up the motorcycle, awaiting a tow truck. SFD says the people taken to the hospital were the 50-year-old man driving the motorcycle and 50-year-old woman who was his passenger.
Car mishap brings police, fire, ambulance to Chief Sealth IHSSeptember 5, 2014 at 3:06 pm | In West Seattle news, Westwood, WS breaking news | 9 Comments
If you're picking up a student at Chief Sealth International High School – where classes are ending for the day – it'll be more difficult than usual to navigate the parking lot/dropoff zone, where you'll see police cars, a fire engine, an ambulance, and a tow truck. That's because of what's in the photos – a car that somehow wound up on the embankment between the parking lot and the exit driveway alongside the auditorium.
Thanks to the person who texted to let us know about this and shared the top photo; at the scene, police told us the car was driven by a student, who wasn't hurt, but had passengers who were still being checked.
Update: Rescue call at Alki, apparently a false alarmSeptember 1, 2014 at 3:53 pm | In West Seattle news, WS breaking news | 2 Comments
3:53 PM: Big Seattle Fire response on the way to the 2800 block of Alki Avenue SW, for a report of a swimmer possibly in trouble.
3:57 PM: A swimmer has been spotted but first crews on scene says s/he does NOT appear to be in trouble, so they're canceling most of the units. SFD is also turning back the fireboat they were starting to send through the Ballard Locks.

1:45 AM: Update from WSP via Twitter: The motorcycle's driver has died. The passenger is still described as in serious condition and was taken to Harborview Medical Center.

The ramp is now open again.
ADDED 9:45 AM: According to the WSP "media memo" with additional information, the man who was killed was 32 years old and from Kent; the woman who survived is 22 and from Puyallup. WSP's preliminary investigation information in the same e-mail says the motorcycle "took exit ramp to southbound I-5 and failed to negotiate curve, ejected driver and passenger, and came to rest in (the) roadway."
Update: Dryer fire in condo building at south end of JunctionAugust 23, 2014 at 12:32 pm | In West Seattle fires, West Seattle news, WS breaking news | Comments Off
12:32 PM: Seattle Fire crews are at a condominium building in the 5000 block of California SW on the south end of The Junction for a "fire in building" call. The street is shut down at the scene.
They're finding light smoke but still looking for its source. More shortly.
12:46 PM: Our crew on scene has talked to the incident commander, who says the fire was traced to a dryer. No injuries. California SW shouldn't be closed too much longer, maybe 20 minutes or so.
Update: Driver hurt after flipping car across from Fairmount PlayfieldAugust 17, 2014 at 12:42 am | In West Seattle news, WS breaking news | 15 Comments
(WSB photo by Katie Meyer)
12:42 AM: Police are closing the southbound side of Fauntleroy Way SW right now in the Fairmount Playfield area, between Dawson and Brandon (map), because of what we're told is a flipped-car crash. At least one person is hurt, described as a woman in her 30s.
12:59 AM: Adding photos. Police say the woman has been taken to the hospital; the car is on its side, and officers are awaiting a tow truck to clear it away. Witnesses tell us a parked car was also hit. (added) Second photo from WSB's Katie Meyer actually shows at least two parked cars damaged.
Update: North Delridge house fire blamed on wiring problem; separate police investigationAugust 6, 2014 at 6:59 am | In West Seattle fires, West Seattle news, WS breaking news | 13 Comments
6:59 AM: Seattle Fire units are arriving at a possible house fire in the 4800 block of 25th SW [map]. More to come.
7:07 AM: It was declared "tapped" relatively quickly. Via scanner, crews are reporting it as a "room fire" and saying two people were home at the time, both of whom got out OK.
7:29 AM: The fire is out and firefighters are leaving. Police are on scene investigating what was described via scanner traffic as an apparent (marijuana) "grow op."
7:56 AM: City Light is on scene too; fire and police are continuing to investigate.
8:24 AM: SFD says the fire was started by a wiring problem, with damage confined to a "back bedroom" and estimated at $15,000. The SFD report says police are investigating "items found in the basement of the home." Our crew, still on scene, says that the remaining fire crew is pulling material away from one corner of the back of the house (photo added above), apparently to check for anything still smoldering.
Update: Small fire on 26th off Thistle in Westwood ruled accidentalAugust 5, 2014 at 2:52 pm | In West Seattle fires, West Seattle news, WS breaking news | 3 Comments
ORIGINAL 2:52 PM REPORT: Seattle Fire crews are headed to a house-fire call at 26th and Trenton. Details to come.
2:58 PM UPDATE: This has now changed to a fire off 26th SW near Thistle (map), further north than first reported. It's a small fire, reported to be out, possibly set. Most of the units have been dismissed.
3:31 PM UPDATE: The fire was set in a bush in a residential neighborhood east of Southwest Athletic Complex – dangerously close to homes.
5:01 PM UPDATE: SFD spokesperson Kyle Moore tells us investigators determined it was accidental – "improperly discarded smoking materials" are blamed; a nearby resident put it out with a garden hose before firefighters arrived.
Update: 1 hurt in SUV/motorcycle collision at 35th/TrentonAugust 2, 2014 at 10:50 am | In West Seattle news, WS breaking news | 4 Comments
10:50 AM: 35th northbound is blocked at SW Trenton right now because of a collision; scanner indicates it involves a car and motorcycle. Details as we get them.
11:12 AM: One person was taken to the hospital via medic unit, which was just leaving as we got to the scene. One lane of traffic was moving in each direction.
11:17 AM: And now they're fully opening northbound. We don't have any info on the condition of the person who was hurt, but the fact that traffic is reopening suggests it wasn't life-threatening, or else they would be calling out the Traffic Collision Investigation Squad.
Update: Overheated power cord blamed for house fire in 6500 block of Delridge Way; no one hurt; cat rescuedJuly 28, 2014 at 11:23 am | In West Seattle fires, West Seattle news, WS breaking news | 11 Comments

11:23 AM: Big fire response en route to a house in the 6500 block of Delridge Way SW (map). It's a basement fire, according to an early report from the scene, which also said everybody got out OK. More to come.
Fire off Delridge near Home Depot @westseattleblog pic.twitter.com/PcqnLyAPe6
— Yovany Camacho (@CubanRefugee) July 28, 2014
11:30 AM UPDATE: Added a Twitter photo (thanks, @cubanrefugee) – our crew is almost there. Police are being asked to block Delridge both ways in the area, which is north of the busy intersection with Orchard/Dumar businesses. LOTS of smoke, which is an extra reason to stay away.
11:40 AM UPDATE: Our crew says wind is blowing the smoke further down Delridge – so you might be noticing it some distance away. SFD has sent more equipment to the scene. We've added a quick clip via Instagram – you can see the billowing smoke.
11:52 AM: Our crew on the scene and scanner traffic both indicate firefighters are making progress – they've declared the fire "tapped" but that still leaves more work to do; they've mentioned smoldering insulation, for example.
Also: At least one pet, a cat, has been rescued.
12:25 PM: SFD PIO Kyle Moore is on scene so we'll have additional information soon. Also note – Metro Route 120 is rerouted because of the fire-related Delridge closure.
1:07 PM: Moore (briefing video added above) confirmed that no one was hurt; one cat rescued, another bolted, and another is being sought. Four people were working in the back yard when the fire started in the basement – no word on the cause yet. Delridge Way is now open again, and Route 120 is back to normal.
3:22 PM: SFD says an overheated power cord was to blame. Damage totaled $200,000. In addition to the three cats who survived along with the four residents, their half-dozen chickens are OK too.
West Seattle traffic alert: Cars collide in GatewoodJuly 21, 2014 at 6:11 pm | In West Seattle news, WS breaking news | 2 Comments
6:11 PM: It was a short-lived call on the 911 log and so we didn't go to check out this crash at California/Portland – but Long B. Nguyen, better known for photos from the sky, was in the area and shared this photo. We don't have any official word on injuries; the Seattle Fire call closed very quickly and did not include medic units, suggesting if any, they weren't major.
6:25 PM: California SW is blocked both ways at the scene but tow trucks are there so it might not be long.
ONGOING COVERAGE: Protest in Morgan Junction as veteran, family evicted by deputies – then go back insideJuly 18, 2014 at 9:26 am | In West Seattle news, WS breaking news | 131 Comments
(SCROLL DOWN FOR THE LATEST: Evicted couple back inside as of late afternoon)
9:26 AM: Numerous texts are coming in asking about what sounds like a protest somewhere in Morgan Junction. It's an eviction protest at a Morgan/lower Gatewood home where local activists are hoping to stop sheriff's deputies from forcing a disabled veteran, his wife, and children to leave. Public records indicate their house had been sold to a developer in April after being foreclosed on. The advocacy group had advised us and other news media of a 10 am protest and 10:30 am news conference today; apparently it has started early, and we're on the way over. Updates to come.
9:56 AM: Our crew at the scene says deputies are there evicting the family from the house in the 6500 block of 41st SW. An ambulance is there, apparently to transport 63-year-old Byron Barton, but protesters are trying to stop the ambulance from moving – including by lying under it:
We're adding Instagram video clips (the service limits to :15 but is the fastest way to get video out) as well as photos. The eviction action was postponed from last month, according to citywide-media reports including this one from KING.
10:05 AM: Our crew reports that sheriffs say everyone in the house is out.
Jean Barton made a brief statement that her husband does not want to go to the VA hospital but has nowhere else to go.
Seattle Police have arrived.
10:26 AM: So has City Councilmember Kshama Sawant.
The original announcement received yesterday had said she would participate in the 10:30 am briefing, which the group SAFE (Standing Against Foreclosure and Eviction) has said they still expect to hold.
11:05 AM: No briefing after all – Byron Barton was removed from the ambulance, and it has left, our crew at the scene reports. The family remains out of the house and there's no word yet where they will go. A commenter asked if any help was needed; Jean Barton says Byron's clothes are all in the house so that's the kind of thing they need – she can be reached directly at 206-355-8300. She works, by the way, at Mary's Place – an agency that helps homeless women. We've been looking into court files; the Bartons filed a lawsuit in May alleging various improprieties in the foreclosure process, which documents indicate has been ongoing since at least 2012. Trustee Quality Loan Service is listed as the firm that sold the house to Triangle Property Development LLC in April.
11:44 AM: Family and activists still there, our crew reports, and just gave a briefing, at which Councilmember Sawant spoke as well, but deputies and most of the police (and most of the rest of the media) are gone.
12:35 PM: Adding the briefing video as soon as it's uploaded. We've been continuing to review court documents and other public records related to all this. The property's owner as of the April foreclosure auction, Triangle Development, filed the "unlawful detainer" (eviction) suit against the Bartons in May, around the same time they filed the suit alleging the foreclosure was illegal. There is no development proposal for the site yet, by the way, but we note that county records show the house is on a double lot – 9,000 square feet and legally two lots, which likely means two homes could be built on it.
3:33 PM: We went by about an hour ago (en route to something else) and nobody was out on the street – two TV vehicles in evidence, though. One commenter says KIRO is reporting the family got back into the house. We asked KCSO spokesperson Sgt. DB Gates if they plan to go back. Not at the moment, she said, and offered more background, since KCSO is the enforcement agency for evictions anywhere in King County. According to Sgt. Gates, since an earlier incident in which a detective declined to serve the eviction papers, they have met with the Bartons multiple times and warned them that what happened today was going to happen – but the Bartons decided to stay anyway. Gates also says that the family is "not destitute," and that they are getting "almost six figures" from the auction price, even though they did not initiate the auction, because the winning bid was so much more than what was owed on the house.
5:26 PM: We came back to the neighborhood to see what was going on and discovered that the Bartons are indeed back inside, in the basement, where Jean says Byron is chained to a bed:
That's longtime friend Cheryl with them. Seattle Police are out on the street but won't say what their plan is – they say a public-information officer is coming to speak to media (two TV crews are here doing live reports).
6 PM: SPD Captain Dave Proudfoot (South Precinct captain) is here to supervise – he says their first priority is checking Byron Barton's health/medical status. Jean Barton says he'll be OK at least until later tonight.
6:15 PM: New precinct liaison from the city attorney's office Matthew York has been here since before we re-arrived. He is talking with a lawyer for the Bartons. Three of the SPD units that were here have left.
6:24 PM: It appears nothing more will happen here tonight, or so the police indicate. Meantime, the home's new owner has commented on this story, saying she does not intend to tear down the house.
