Hello everyone. We just added two Pekin ducklings to our family today. They are doing well; we have their brooder set up with pine shavings and heat lamps (sitting at 90 degrees), they gobbled down some water, and seem to be happy, bouncy little things. Very chirpy and they love to run around!
However, I had some questions that I can't seem to find the answer to, maybe some of you can help. First, how much should we expect these babies to sleep? They are only a few days old, and I know MOST baby animals sleep a lot... is this normal for ducklings, too? They doze right off and nap pretty frequently. When they're awake, they are WIDE awake, chirping away and scurrying about. I just want to know how much is "too" much, and if we should be concerned with how often they doze off. Next... they keep chewing on their bedding. (Pine shred.) They don't seem to be eating it, because I see them chomp it a few times and then drop it. Is this normal? Can this make them sick? There are no dyes in it or anything. Finally, how much should we expect them to eat? It seems like they're mostly drinking water. Is there something we can/should do to encourage them to eat? Their feed is pretty well ground up, should we use water and make it more of a mush? Thank you in advance for your advice! |

I keep newly hatched ducklings on paper towels for about a week before I give them shavings. They will nibble them a bit and then decide they aren't food and quit trying to eat them. Ducklings doze a lot. They don't seem to sleep a deep sleep very often, but when they do, they look like they are dead and will give you quite a fright. Food is kept available 24 hours a day until they are close to full size. Medicated chick starter or medicated game bird starter(with amprolium, which is probably the only medicate feed available any more)for the first 2 weeks. Protein levels get cut to 16 percent at week 2, to prevent angel wing. Unless you are feeding game bird, they need a niacin supplement. Chicken food doesn't contain enough niacin for ducks. I suggest that you set their water into some sort of container that will catch the splashes. I set mine on a shallow baking pan that has been cover with a fine mesh hardware cloth. |

U.S. Route 66 in California
U.S. Route 66 | ||||
Will Rogers Highway | ||||
Route information | ||||
Length: | 315 mi[1] (507 km) | |||
Existed: | 1926 – 1964 | |||

West end: | US 101 Alt. in Santa Monica |
East end: | US 66 at Arizona state line | |||
Highway system | ||||
U.S. Route 66 (US 66, Route 66) is a part of a former United States Numbered Highway in the state of California that ran from the east in Santa Monica on the Pacific Ocean through Los Angeles and San Bernardino to Needles at the Arizona state line. It was truncated during the 1964 renumbering and its signage removed in 1974. The highway is now mostly replaced with several streets in Los Angeles, State Route 66 (SR 66), Interstate 15 (I-15) and I-40.
US 66 was assigned by the American Association of State Highway Officials in November 1926 and signed in 1928 by the Automobile Club of Southern California; however historic US 66 shields and even present day US 66 shields remain.[2] US 66 continued to be signed east of Pasadena until 1974, when it was removed, and the remaining separate section became SR 66.
In 1977, "Hotel California" alluded to Route 66 in its opening lines, "On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair, Warm smell of colitas rising up through the air, Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light, My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim, I had to stop for the night". According to Eagles guitarist Don Felder, "Everybody had driven into Los Angeles on what used to be Route 66. And as you drive in through the desert at night, you can see the glow of Los Angeles from a hundred miles away. The closer and closer you get, you start seeing all of these images, and these things pounded into our heads: the stars on Hollywood Boulevard, movie stars, palm trees, beaches and girls in bikinis."[3]
Nationally, Route 66 has been a decommissioned highway since 1985, with the last section through Williams, Arizona, bypassed by I-40 in 1984. The first efforts to return the route to maps as "Historic Route 66" date to 1987 and Angel Delgadillo's Arizona Historic Route 66 Association. This initiative was soon followed in all eight US 66 states, including California.
The California Historic Route 66 Association, established in December 1990 to advocate the preservation, restoration and promotion of historic Route 66 in California, is the youngest of the eight state-level Route 66 Associations.
Old Trails Highway[edit]
From San Bernardino to the Arizona state line US 66 followed the old National Old Trails Highway. The old highway veers away from I-15 between Victorville and Barstow, following the railroad through Oro Grande, Helendale, and Lenwood. Through Barstow, it is Main Street. East of Barstow, the National Old Trails Highway passes through a Marine Corps base, limiting public access and forcing traffic onto I-40. From Daggett, Historic 66 leaves I-40, crossing it three times before winding away through Bagdad, Amboy, and Essex. US 66 was all paved in California by 1935.
This area is desert; towns like Amboy originated as Atlantic and Pacific Railroad stops and were sustained by Route 66 traffic during the Mother Road's heyday, then became ghost towns when I-40 bypassed them to the north. From Essex the highway was Goffs Road through Goffs until about 1931, joining I-40 at the US 95 exit. The later alignment is now I-40 east of Essex. The original highway winds around I-40 in the Needles area, before crossing the Colorado River into Arizona.
Route description[edit]
Santa Monica to San Bernardino[edit]
Starting in Santa Monica, California, US 66 originally started at the southwest end of Santa Monica Boulevard, which was, from the Santa Monica city line with Los Angeles up to US 101, added to SR 2 during the 1964 renumbering, the same name it had before 1936.[4] In today's terms, it followed the Santa Monica Boulevard until the east end, where it continued to the southeast as the Sunset Boulevard up to SR 110 (Arroyo Seco Parkway), at the interchange with US 101.
Running northwards on SR 110 to the northern terminus in Pasadena, the highway continued east onto Colorado Boulevard. When crossing North Baldwin Avenue, Colorado Boulevard becomes Calorado Street, and after 0.3 miles (0.48 km) it changes again to Colorado Place.
In Arcadia the highway continues eastwards as Huntington Drive, which it follows until it became Foothill Boulevard after 5.7 miles (9.2 km). Following Foothill Boulevard, the highway became Alosta Avenue in Azusa. When entering Glendora the highway changed names to Route 66 and when leaving, it becomes Foothill Boulevard again.
Foothill Boulevard is numbered SR 66 from the interchange with SR 210 in La Verne onwards. It follows SR 66 until it reaches I-215 in San Bernardino.
San Bernardino to the Arizona state line[edit]
US 66 originally exited San Bernardino on Mount Vernon Avenue and Cajon Boulevard, which meandered its way up to Cajon Pass. US 66 originally followed 7th Street and D Street through Victorville then the National Old Trails Highway through Barstow, California (where it took on the name "Main Street") and across the Mojave Desert to Needles. US 66 followed Broadway Street through Needles, then crossed into Arizona on the Trails Arch Bridge (1916-1946) or the Red Rock Bridge (converted from railroad bridge in 1946, abandoned 1966, dismantled 1976).
By 1964, most or all of this part of the route had been replaced by three Interstate highways, the first being I-215, known as I-15 in 1964. It followed I-215 from SR 66 up to I-15. After I-15, the highway followed I-40 until it got to the state line with Arizona in Needles.

Roy's Motel and Café was once the largest roadside business in what is now the desert ghost town of Amboy, California. The motel has been closed for years as the town died when Interstate 40 in California diverted traffic ten miles further north. Amboy, as a ghost town, had been used as a filming location for various movies. More recently, the Roy's filling station and café have operated at least sporadically in an attempt to preserve this landmark for tourism.
The Summit Inn, a diner and filling station originally located in 1928 at the summit of the Cajon Pass, moved to Oak Hills, California when the highway was re-routed in 1952. Its visitors include Elvis Presley, reported to have kicked the jukebox and left without dining after finding none of his own records among the available selections. This oversight has since been corrected; the diner remains open, complete with memorabilia of the roadside Texaco which is no longer in operation at the site.
Camps, motor courts, and motels[edit]
Route 66 has attracted campers since the Great Depression era, where The Grapes of Wrath describes a large but primitive riverside campground as one of the first sights when arriving in Needles, California from Arizona. Needles later became the site of the Carty's Camp cabins seen briefly in John Ford's 1940 film version of "The Grapes of Wrath" (now a deteriorating ghost tourist court) and the later adjacent 66 Motel (which currently offers long-term rental only).
The 1924 Aztec Hotel in Monrovia, a National Historic Landmark in the San Gabriel Valley, is notable for its Mayan Revival architecture.
One of three restored Wigwam Motels accommodates motorists in San Bernardino near Rialto. Based on a once-patented novelty architecture, these are tourist courts in which each cabin is a free-standing concrete wigwam. This group of motels served as an inspiration for the Cozy Cone Motel in Cars (film).
California devotes a pair of museums to the history of old Route 66, the California Route 66 Museum in the former Red Rooster Café in Victorville and the Barstow Route 66 "Mother Road" Museum in the town's former Harvey House Railroad Depot.
The Figueroa Street Tunnels carry the Arroyo Seco Parkway through Elysian Park in Los Angeles; a Four Level Interchange connecting the Hollywood Freeway (Route 101) to Route 66 was the first stack interchange in the world.
The historic 1916 Trails Arch Bridge spanning the Colorado River from Topock, Arizona to Needles, California still stands but is no longer open to traffic.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
[OS] NATO/AFGHANISTAN - NATO air strike kills fighter linked to Afghan hotel attack

KABUL (Reuters) - NATO aircraft killed an insurgent leader linked to a
deadly hotel attack in the Afghan capital this week, the coalition said on
Thursday, a raid that raised questions about whether Afghan forces are
ready for the looming security transition.
The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack on the Intercontinental,
one of two major hotels used by foreigners and Afghan government
officials, a rare night-time raid that began on Tuesday and ended five
hours later with 12 killed.
However, the NATO-led Security Assistance Force (ISAF) said the al
Qaeda-linked Haqqani network had also been involved in the assault by nine
suicide bombers and gunmen.
ISAF identified the Haqqani network leader killed in an air strike as
Ismail Jan, who it described as a deputy to the senior Haqqani commander
in Afghanistan, Haji Mali Khan.
It said he and "several Haqqani fighters" were killed in the air strike in
the Gardez district of Paktia province south of Kabul on Wednesday.
"The Haqqani network, in conjunction with Taliban operatives, was
responsible for the Tuesday night attack on the Kabul Intercontinental
hotel which killed 12 people, including a provincial judge," ISAF said in
a statement.
The brazen raid came only a week after President Barack Obama announced a
phased withdrawal of combat troops, with 10,000 to leave by the end of
this year and another 23,000 by the end September 2012.
Obama's announcement preceded the start of a gradual transition of
responsibility to Afghan forces from next month that will end with all
foreign combat troops leaving Afghanistan by the end of 2014.
With that transition process to begin in seven areas next month, the hotel
raid raised serious questions about whether Afghan forces, particularly
the police, were ready to take over.
"It shows one of the concerns is that the Afghan security forces are
growing in quantity, not in quality," said Thomas Ruttig, co-director of
the Kabul-based Afghanistan Analysts Network.
The attack ended when snipers on board a NATO helicopter killed the last
three attackers fighting from the roof of the hotel. Earlier television
footage showed Afghan forces firing wildly into the air.
The New York Times reported on Thursday that some police had refused to
fight back.
ISAF has been training members of the 126,000-strong Afghan National
Police since 2009.
Afghan police, who will be at the front line of the security transition in
villages and towns across Afghanistan, have long been viewed as inept and
lagging behind the training of the better-equipped army, which had been
the focus of training efforts since the Taliban were toppled in late 2001.
Violence has risen to record levels across Afghanistan over the past 18
months as NATO troops, especially U.S. forces, hit back against a growing
insurgency, especially in the Taliban heartland in the south.
A quarterly report by the United Nations secretary-general to the Security
Council about Afghanistan found that the number of security incidents
since March had risen 51 percent on the same period in 2010, with suicide
attacks rising sharply.
Attacks in the Taliban heartland of Kandahar were especially worrying.
"The city of Kandahar and its surroundings registered the majority of the
incidents during the reporting period, with a quarter of the overall
attacks and more than half of all assassinations recorded countrywide,"
the report said.
But Ruttig said the attack also highlighted other problems confronting
Afghanistan before the transition process, which also includes handing the
running of civil institutions and projects over to Afghans, begins.
Not the least of those is the political paralysis that has gripped the
country for months.
"The fact that neither NATO nor the Afghans were able to prevent it says
something -- that transition needs to be something more than just
security," Ruttig said of the hotel attack.
"Security forces are only part of transition. There also needs to be a
strengthening of political institutions and, at the moment, the
parliamentary crisis has brought politics to a standstill," he told
Last week, a special poll court set up by a decree by President Hamid
Karzai overturned the results for a quarter of the seats in parliament
from elections last year, effectively throwing out 62 MPs who had been
declared winners.
The move, and the court itself, have been branded unconstitutional and
illegal by Afghan and Western officials and observers. Critics have said
the court was set up by Karzai to further his own political agenda and
silence opposition.

This is a story I just wrote up. Title just about sums up the message, so don't expect any happy endings. The point is to both give out a good message of emotion toward the Empire (although despite the strong message I still feel my story is lacking) and possibly a backstory for characters: joined up in our glorious underdog force from witnessing this very event in the aftermath, possibly seeing recordings of everything that occurred. It might also be good to use in a game that you have in EotE that you plan to convert to AoR, but the players woupld be required to have some sort of heart felt emotions inside of them, saying this because there are plenty of scumbag groups out there. I should know, I GM one.
Now, without further ado, I present...
The Horrors of the Empire
A lone transport vessel, travelling through space: a GR-75, with a pedestrian load onboard. Several turrets dot its exterior, and a small squadron of guard ships flies in low speeds next to it. The captain stands in the middle of the bridge, hands clasped behind his back. He watches his men with satisfaction. They'd been through this run dozens of times. They had all but memorized every last detail of the procedures.
It takes only a small, faint signal coming from the terminal nearby to turn his smile into utter horror. He strides over quickly, his worried eyes locked on the panel. He scans the radar quickly, and his heart sinks at the large red figure that has just entered. Only moments after he shouts orders to avert all shields to the fore, countless miniscule blips erupt from the new ship.
The crew, in their cocky, lax pride, hesitates for a moment, but a moment too much. The front of the ship is covered in large explosions, rocking everyone back and forth. In the holds, hundreds of refugees scream in confusion, children crying and men staring with scared, yet determined looks at each other. A few round everyone up, and they begin setting up for emergency evacuation if needed.
Unbeknownst to them, their efforts will be worthless. As the front of the vessel is finished being racked by explosions, waves of screaming TIE fighters whirl in, green bolts tearing through the scant X-Wings patrolled around the GR-75. Bombers come in seconds later, cascading waves of sonic bombs on the turrets. The landing bay is blasted open, and a troop carrier lands inside.
The Stormtroopers, clad in shining white laminate, stand attentively at the loading ramp of their ship. They're ready to leap out the moment it's big enough to see through. In their comlinks, the rigid voice of their commander gives their orders:
"Kill everyone. No survivors."
In under a minute, the troopers already pass through the landing bay and the first hall, shooting two of the crew on the way. The find one of the holding areas, and line up everyone they find. They then let loose a torrent of fire onto their backs, man, woman, and child. Screams of pain erupt, and children clutch to their mothers even as they are both gunned into a state of no recognition.
It is a similar affair through the rest of the ship. A few individuals try to fight back, but their makeshift clubs are no match for an Imperial E-11. In the halls, a few crew members pull out their holdout pistols, but hardly have them unholstered before blasts cripple their chests. The bridge is stormed, and the captain stands his ground in the face of death, his men all shooting hopelessly at the Stormtroopers, even knowing that they have not a single hope of survival. After thirty seconds, the Imperials leave the room, seeing that not a single survivor is left.
It takes only six hours before the ship is found by a passing vessel. The vessel tries to contact the ship and the crew on board decides to investigate, hoping this might be a long lost treasure ship, luckily brought into their hands.
They land in the empty loading dock, and walk through the deserted hall hearing the blaring alarms and klaxons still beating relentlessly. If the power didn't acknowledge the recent nature of the ship, the two dead bodies in the first hall and the three in the lobby show it in stark colors. They decide it's best to hurry up, worrying about upsetting the recently deceased (and any still alive to be upset over their presence). They find their way into the primary cargo hold, and are met with horror.
The five guards could have been a coincidence. An entire cargo hold of aliens, sprawled out, burnt, in neat lines, with horror still struck on their faces and children still clutching in death to their mothers and men standing valiantly but to no use in protection of their wives was not a coincidence. It was a massacre.

Engraving entitled "Harpers Ferry Insurrection. Interior of the Engine House, just before the gate is broken down by the storming party." The print shows Brown with hostages. John Brown, a white abolitionist, attempted to start an armed slave revolt by seizing a military arsenal at Harpers Ferry, Virginia in 1859. He was defeated by a detachment of Marines led by Colonel Robert E. Lee. John Brown was the first white man to use violence in an attempt to end slavery. The raid alarmed many in the South and led to militarization in preparation for a Northern invasion. Brown was tried and executed for treason, murder, and conspiracy.

Another vendor joins the growing ranks and provides more set information
Posted by Huw,Chowren Toys, who bill themselves as the 'World's second biggest LEGO shop', has joined the growing number of vendors whose items are displayed on the set details pages. If you're in the USA you'll see their 1500+ products shown under the relevant 'For Sale' tabs.
What's more, they have provided us with some very useful information on product sizes, weights, LEGO item numbers and UPC barcodes for nearly every retail set available since 2007. You'll find this info shown on the set details pages (see this one for an example). Over time, the database admins will back fill this information for older sets, and at some point in the future I hope to be able to get everyone involved in entering data such as this into the database.
So welcome aboard guys, and thanks for the info!

The extra info is brilliant!
Awesome! But where is this "For Sale" tab?
Under the set image.
I went and took a look at the site and the cost of the new items is equal to lego, but I have concerns about how expensive the older stuff is.
I have checked out the site many times in the past and they have a great selection but I always end up buying elsewhere for cheaper.
These guys sponsor our sites, so being upfront about that, however genuinely even before that relationship and when buying from them their customer service and packaging is fantastic, and for an Australian facing Lego's rip off sometimes $300 price hike on the death star for example, Chowren's USA pricing and low cost shipping saves me heaps.
Prob not relevant but "chowren" in Mandarin means "superman". :)
That explains the new sections on the set details page.
However, can anyone explain the unreleased Exo-Force set just added to the database?
Definitely do your research though, just browsing their site I saw the 7937 Train Station listed as "BRAND NEW, HARD TO FIND AND DISCONTINUED" for $110 but you can buy it of Lego.com today for $49.99.
With over 1000 brand new factory sealed LEGO sets to keep track human input error does happen. Thank you for bring the mistake on the 7937 to our attention, we certain do appreciate it!
We are just so grateful to everyone for visiting and making the effort to let us know what you think. Thank you everyone for your comments and feedbacks. We at Chowren Toys never advertised to have the cheapest prices. Our goal has always been to provide the LEGO community with the best selection of factory sealed LEGO and the most reliable customer service. We have been in the business for over 11 years and our 100% feedback on eBay can attest that our customers do feel they are getting value for their money.
Chowren in Mandarin does sound like "Superman" but that is not why we came up with the name. Our last name is Chow and ren means people / person. We always want to remind ourselves that any good business is about the people. Good business practice starts with treating our customers, our employees and everyone with respect and kindness. It was just an added bonus when we put the two words together it happened to resemble "Superman" in Mandarin. By the way, did we tell you we also sell Superman LEGO sets?
You sell to Italy?
Now my question is: what is the 'World's biggest LEGO shop'? This is the second I would like to take a look at the first! :)
^ shop.LEGO.com used to bill itself as that, but I don't think it does any more...
TRU Canada still bills itself as "Canadas Largest LEGO Retailer" or something along those lines.

Loopholes in Seattle's sign ordinance are brazenly exploited
The city is plastered with billboard-like "wallscapes" that break the law or stretch it in creative ways. After last year's Russell Investments skyscraper-sign controversy, the broader ordinance is coming under review.
For a few weeks last fall, the biggest political dustup in town was over a sign — the 10-foot-tall illuminated logo that Russell Investments wanted to hang atop its new downtown tower. To get Russell to move from Tacoma, Mayor Nickels' administration and City Council President Richard Conlin had offered to change the city's sign code, which doesn't allow signs more than 65 feet above ground, and let Russell brand its piece of the city skyline.
But design, architecture, and good-government types turned out in force, complaining that Russell's logo would also deface that skyline and open the door to every other big, vain office-tower tenant that wanted to stake a claim. And, because a sky-scraping logo invisible from the street would be all about branding, it would subvert the basic principle of Seattle's sign code: that signs are for helping people find businesses and find out what's available inside. They're not a general advertising medium.
All that was too much for the Seattle Design Commission, which recommended denying Russell's request, and for the City Council, which decided to table the proposal and take a wider look at the city's sign code. When councilmembers eventually do that, they'll see that the threat of a few tower-topping corporate logos is the least sign of trouble in this town. Down at street level, they'll find what even one local outdoor-advertising operator calls "the Wild West": a free-for-all of ever bigger and bolder advertising signs, plastering buildings from chic Belltown to gritty SoDo.
Forget the rigid billboards of yesteryear; broadside technology has advanced far beyond painted panels mounted on wooden or steel frames. The industry that made them now calls its products "out of home advertising" and offers to capture eyeballs with messages blazoned on everything from coffee cups and human bodies to building-blanketing projections and flashing LED and video displays. Their staple, however, is printed vinyl-mesh banners of virtually unlimited size, hung to form instant "wallscapes." Their cost is relatively low and their image quality superb; the effect is like seeing a million-dollar high-def TV commercial freeze-framed on the side of a building.
Seattle has no shortage of strategically visible walls, nor, it seems, of advertisers eager to rent them for prices that, according to a state regulator and an industry insider, often top $20,000 and sometimes $30,000 a month. (The industry is famously secretive about what it charges.)
Trouble is, Seattle's sign code isn't supposed to let you throw up billboards or advertising wallscapes. In 1980, the city settled a court fight with Ackerley Communications, the local firm that owned nearly all Seattle's billboards, on terms that were supposed to grandfather in existing boards (about 520 legal slots remain today) and bar new ones. Billboard owners (mainly Ackerley) received credits for boards located in zones where they're no longer permitted, which they can use to erect new boards in other zones.
That system more or less continues, though the Texas-based conglomerate Clear Channel has bought Ackerley and its relocation credits. Those are now running out, and Clear Channel is trying to squeeze as much out of them as it can — sometimes with rather brazen switcheroos. It's used credits for small billboards to hang banners up to 10 times as large at what you'd think would be rather conspicuous sites: the Macy's parking garage at Third Avenue and Stewart Street (formerly advertising the Pacific Science Center's Harry Potter show) and on the side of a building right across Fourth Avenue from City Hall (where Mayors Nickels and now McGinn, if they happened to look down from their office patio, could have ogled the latest Scion).
At both sites, Clear Channel used credits for 288-square-foot billboards to hang banners that were five to 10 times larger. Eventually — after four years in the second case — the city's Department of Planning and Development (DPD) responded to complaints and cracked down: It made Clear Channel use credits for 672-square-foot signs to get permits for 1,500- and 2,700-square-foot banners. According to one industry source, Clear Channel rents each of these jumbo ad sites for about $25,000 a month.

Raises the question; WHAT TO DO WITH THE LEFT-OVER VINYL SIGNAGE? I propose that these would signs would make excellent emergency tents for disasters like earthquakes and floods. Most of the signs breathe as they have tiny perforations throughout. They could also be used to germinate plants and seedlings by staking them to the ground. Anything beats crowding the landfills. Is there anything the industry is doing now to re-cycle the signs?
Posted Wed, Jun 15, 10:35 a.m.
Signs are cool, and they are part and parcel of any urban landscaped. Get your noses out of the air, please.
Nixing the Russell sign was a great way to say, bring your business here, but don't expect us to honor our commitment to your making it work here.
If signs help bring---and keep---jobs here, bring on the signs.
Posted Wed, Jun 15, 12:43 p.m.
A welcome byline, hope to see more.
This town once had some terrific neon signage, and it's a damn shame so many people find commercial display in a commercial center troubling. Bright lights, big city after all. Signs at traffic level that are designed to distract, those are problematic and regulation of those is sensible.

I think the banners and billboards everywhere are ugly and really detract from what could be a beautiful city. It's too bad that it is so rampant.
One of the best things about France is no billboards anywhere. I wish people would put people before advertising and get rid of all the horrific advertising everywhere in Seattle. It's ugly and depressing.
Posted Fri, Jun 17, 2:17 p.m.
We need to do everything we can to quite the visual din. When the beautiful elements of our City; architecture, green space, public art and the people around us have to compete with rampant "out of home" advertising, we are giving up more than we realize.
For all of our sake keep outdoor advertising to a minimum.
Posted Fri, Jun 17, 2:51 p.m.
Seattleites once again show the world that they simply do not grasp the concept of a big city. I second @NickBob's comment, and also @beaky's comment awhile back requesting people in Seattle who get their undies in a twist about stuff like this to retire to their yurts...
Posted Fri, Jun 17, 3:50 p.m.
@ Orino - This article and the comments give plenty of good reasons not encourage "out of home" product advertising (which is different than building identification or way finding or genuine on premise signage). Please let us know why you think it shouldn't be banned and why this has anything to do with a "concept of a big city".

"One textbook example: an eye-popping banner for the Montana Office of Tourism — at 2,700 square feet one of the largest signs in town — that Clear Channel hung on the side of the Terminal Sales Annex at Second Avenue and Virginia Street in April."
While we all know that Clear Channel (Ackerley 'Communications' when it was a local operation) will put a sign on anything at all it might have been interesting to ask the buildings owners/property managers at Martin Smith the thinking behind renting the side of their 'landmark' building for whatever cash they could finagle.
Never forget. There's money in blight.
Posted Sat, Jun 18, 3:14 p.m.
Good piece, Mr. S. I think the key metric is the $20K to $30K per month. That would equal the rent for about 20,000 sq. ft. in a moderately upscale office building. If accurate, that is staggering. Controlling that is going to be like controlling crack; you can try.
Posted Mon, Jun 20, 11:47 a.m.
There are two different questions here.
One: Can the sign law be enforced? Apparently not. Either the city council needs to write a clear law that can be enforced or they need to repeal the non-functioning law they have.
Two: Do we really need or want the sign law in the first place? On one hand we have the value of an un-cluttered city-scape. On the other hand we have the absurd self-contradiction of "un-cluttered cityscape". what makes the great cities of the world great is the buzz - the almost electric vibe - created by a lot of human activity, pedestrians, and a busy (at times overwhelming) stream of visual stimulation. Anyone who has walked the sidewalks of New York, Seattle, and Bellevue can attest to this buzz, which cities have it (and are therefore real cities) and which cities don't.
Most of these vinyl tarps cover blank brick walls. I don't see the blank walls as an aesthetic upgrade.
Let's drop the hicktown attitude and embrace urbanization. Let's allow the signs (and tax the heck out of 'em).
Posted Tue, Jun 21, 10:51 a.m.
This is not about being friendly to business. It's about the competition for our eyes. The value to the advertiser is in knowing people have to see the ad. We accepted ads on TV when we got access and programing in exchange, for 'free' we felt. Once we paid directly for access (i.e. cable) and could choose (i.e. Tivo) people have opted out, crippling TV ad revenue and pushing those dollars into our streets. What's different about our public space is we get nothing in return for the ads. The ad production and placement revenue goes out of state.
The community as owners of the public space, make the revenue possible for out door advertisers and get nothing. Couple this with the fact that when given the choice, people don't want to be forced to look at advertising. We tolerate ads when we feel we get something in return.
To begin with, we should stop the current game and ban all off premises advertising and limit on-premises to reasonable and understandable rules. Stop the public bleed.
Then, if we as a community determine we can profitably manage some amount of legitimate off premises advertising in exchange for real money, we manage the allocation to maximize financial benefits to the community within the environmental and visual constraints we feel protect the community at large.

I grew up in NYC. Once upon a time we had no anti-littering laws and no poop-scoop law. The streets were full of garbage and dog excrement — and we liked it that way. It was part of the urban vibe. People commonly threw trash out their car windows without thinking it was wrong. People did not pickup after their dogs. Not ever! At one point there was a campaign to CURB YOUR DOG — let it drop its waste in the street as opposed to next to your neighbor's tree or fire hydrant as was customary. The stuff piled up in massive heaps and trash blowing down the street was a natural part of the landscape. We liked it that way!
These were vibrant practices that made NYC great. It wasn't until nanny-state busy-bodies got their special-interest legislation passed that throwing garbage out your car window became illegal. Same thing for picking up after your dog. I'd prefer to not have a dog than to submit to that violation of my rights and heritage.
With this sign thing. I think you should get a bunch of these used signs and drape your house in them. Then we can experience that electric vibe that makes cities great. I'm sure your neighbors will love it and it'll become a regular part of the urban scene.
Posted Mon, Jun 27, 2:22 p.m.
Living here in a city where making up your mind is considered an act of aggression and dithering is our favorite pastime, I was delighted to read Iponder's pointed and hilarious comments about the pros and cons of so-called nanny laws. You can always count on an NYC native to cut through the crap.
But this is so much more than some kind of Seattle green issue. Even if—in a time of admittedly pressing concerns—you don't give a dim-bulb damn about visual blight and pollution of the night sky by too much artificial light, you should be concerned about the other green aspect of this issue because it's all about money. The people who are plastering the city with wildly out-of-compliance and flat-out illegal advertising are selling their products and services to you on buildings and city streets at virtually no cost. Making them pay, through taxes or usages fees, for access to the hearts and minds of the people who live in and visit Seattle would take a tiny ding out of the profits they're making from this free advertising space and it would provide the city with a valuable source of revenue that could be put toward fixing the many other problems that are beginning to pile up in times of reduced revenue.
These people pay plenty for access to the advertising space that they buy in newspapers, TV and online. If the city of Seattle is going to give them access to our eyeballs, we should at least get a comparable amount money for allowing them to use our shared public space to sell their products to us.
Posted Wed, Jun 29, 2:04 p.m.
The value I place on the beauty of our streets is pretty high. I'm not sure I'd willingly sell it for an amount anyone could consider reasonable.
Posted Thu, Jul 7, 3 p.m.
For me it's not an issue of complete exclusion as much as it is about managing our visual environment. I'm pretty sure most people in Seattle would object to seeing Seattle dominated by billboards as has occurred in L.A. This is an industry that can not be trusted to behave in moderation. Define the acceptable specific zones/locations, make it clear what the rules are, tax the ad revenue to pay for the management and create a direct economic benefit for the community.
The industry asserts that non-location specific general outdoor advertising somehow promotes local business or that 'we're open for business'. I'm sure, we all check out the latest beer billboard and immediately buy the product or feel better about our community. This is nonsense. The ad revenue goes out of state, the ad production is done out of state and with digital, say good bye to the folks who currently do installation.
Lastly, I understand one digital billboard uses the equivalent electricity to 30 homes.
Posted Tue, May 1, 8:38 a.m.
I agree with various posters that make the point that cities are business hubs, and that businesses should be able to advertise accordingly. I will admit that the limiting of Billboards along the freeway is a smart idea as this tends to distract from the natural beauty of the Northwest (the occasional view of Mt. Rainier being a small relief while sitting in traffic).
I support local business and their need to advertise. I am ashamed that I live in a city that would steal Russell from Tacoma and then go back on their word.
If Seattle is going to focus on the small percentage of people that want to maintain the pristine (yet artificial) skyline and isn't going to reasonably come up with solutions to the traffic problems (failed monorail), I just hope they never take my bus advertising away; it has been the most effective way for me to get my message out as so many of my customers have responded after being stuck in traffic next to a bus! (Thanks Titan!)

Completely ridiculous - the best kind of comedy.

I've been meaning to see this. Heard some good things.
I hate when people say that Trey and Matt are only actors in it. They obviously ad-lib a bit and clear they definitely had some influence in more than just their performances.
They clearly had some say in the writing. The entire character of Squeak was their idea.

The 6-foot-3 senior guard from North Central High School in Indianapolis committed orally to Illinois in November, but he will announce he's attending Indiana during Hoosier Hysteria on Friday night, his father told the Indianapolis Star.
Chuck Jones, the athletic director at Gordon's high school would not say what Gordon's plans were, but he told ESPN.com Gordon spoke ...

Tennessee-Martin Skyhawks (16-6)
@Tennessee St. Tigers (6-17)
Saturday, February 07
Howard C. Gentry Complex
Attendance: None
Tennessee St.
Nashville, TN (Sports Network) - Lester Hudson poured in a game-high 34 points, as the Tennessee-Martin Skyhawks blew out the Tennessee State Tigers 100-73 in Ohio Valley Conference action at the Gentry Center.
Hudson pulled in 10 rebounds with eight assists for the Skyhawks (16-6, 9-3 OVC), who have extended their winning streak to eight games. Olajide Hay tallied 21 points with nine rebounds, while Reuben Clayton contributed 20 points off the bench.

Jerrell Houston finished with 12 points and 10 rebounds, as Tennessee State was unable to come out on top in the debut of interim coach Mark Pittman. The Tigers, who fired head coach Cy Alexander on Friday, have now dropped five consecutive outings.
The Skyhawks shot 53.6 percent from the floor in the first half, taking a 39-35 lead at the break.
The Skyhawks did not let up in the second half, as they shot 57.6 from the floor and made 19-of-23 from the charity stripe for the 27-point victory.

Jeri Buchholz, Chief Human Capital Officer, NASA
Workforce planning for 2015 and beyond is on in federal agencies. The data from the Best Places to Work in Government survey is one group of information HR leaders in government will use, but it's not the only one. Jeri Buchholz is the chief human capital officer for NASA. On In Depth with Francis Rose, she said looking deep into the data is critical to making your entire agency a better place to work.

Dr. Neil Cheatwood, Senior Engineer, NASA Langley
NASA is aiming to send humans deeper into space than ever before. Maybe to an asteroid, maybe to Mars. The mission presents a whole new set of technical challenges. Engineers are hopeful that an inflatable heat shield, shaped like a stack of doughnuts, will be the key to landing a large, manned spacecraft on Mars. Dr. Neil Cheatwood is NASA Langley's Senior Engineer for Advanced Planetary Entry, Descent and Landing Systems. He joined the Federal Drive with Tom Temin to discuss how the heat shield will hopefully kick off the next age of space travel.
NASA SEWP to drop fee again, launch new customer initiatives
Joanne Woytek, NASA SEWP program manager, said the space agency now plans to implement the next generation of the technology GWAC by May 1 after reexamining vendor bids. In the meantime, starting in March, SEWP will give agencies more information about what they buy, who they buy from and how they buy than ever before.
Joanne Woytek, Program Manager, SEWP 5, NASA
NASA is still five months away from kicking off its next generation governmentwide acquisition contract known as SEWP 5. But that isn't stopping the space agency from rolling out a series of new initiatives to give customer agencies more data -- and context about their spending -- than ever before. Joanne Woytek, program manager of NASA SEWP, tells Federal News Radio Executive Editor Jason Miller about the status of SEWP V and where NASA is heading next.

Cristina Chaplain, Government Accountability Office
NASA's launch and re-entry of its Orion space capsule proved the vehicle might safely carry people into deep space. Someday. But when? That's the question NASA faces as it tries to meet ambitious deadlines with limited funds. A big challenge is developing the vehicle, the rocket necessary to launch it past the moon and the ground station support so they're all ready at the same time. The Government Accountability Office has been on top of this. Christina Chaplain, the director of acquisition and sourcing management issues at GAO joined the Federal Drive with Tom Temin to examine the agency's findings.
Mark Geyer, Orion Program Manager, NASA
NASA's Orion is on her way home for the holidays. The spacecraft is being transported to Kennedy Space Center in Florida after a successful first test flight, splashdown, and recovery. Orion will be examined and disassembled so NASA researchers can prepare for the next stage of its Space Launch Systems programs. Mark Geyer is the Orion program manager at NASA. He joined Tom Temin on the Federal Drive with details on what comes next.

Lou Kerestesy, CEO and Founder, Gov Innovators
NASA begins an official investigation into what caused the supply rocket explosion in Virginia yesterday. It's an expensive setback for the agency's strategy to rely more on contractors -- and contractor-led innovation -- to meet its mission. Lou Kerestesy is founder and CEO of GovInnovators. On In Depth with Francis Rose, he said agencies are missing hidden opportunities to find innovation inside their own organizations.
Charles Bolden, National Aeronautics and Space Administration
NASA has a lot going on these days, and not just the investigation into Tuesday evening's explosion of a privately-operated rocket at the Wallops Island Flight Facility in Virginia. NASA has received high marks for employee satisfaction, and it's also moving ahead with plans to end U.S. reliance on Russia. NASA chose contractors Boeing and Space-X to transport astronauts to the International Space Station by 2017. The Tuesday crash involved a rocket made and operated by Orbital Sciences, which is not involved in astronaut transport. In an interview with Federal News Radio's Emily Kopp, Administrator Charles Bolden spoke about new rockets and why they're special.
Marcia Smith, Editor, Space Policy Online
All eyes are on NASA after the Antares Rocket exploded at the Wallops Island Flight Facility in Virginia on Tuesday evening. No one was injured in the blast, but an investigation into the explosion is being launched. Marcia Smith is Editor of Space Policy Online. She joined Tom Temin on the Federal Drive to explain what the explosion means for NASA's mission going forward.

Conveniently Glazed Over Usability (30 comments)
It's fantastic that you can get that mileage in a car that is inconvenient, small, terrible range. BMW didn't win anything other than an aerodynamics and weight contest. I saw a Tesla Model S competing quite well on the 1/4 mile against Porche, Audi, and.. yeah It smoked a BMW M3 (I am assuming due to driver error). The key was it was quite a capable machine that after a full day of racing drove home and got 75 MPG on the freeway back to the drivers house.

I was involved in a similar situation where I had free rentals for life with a purchase of a VCR. They had a pitiful movie selection but it was still a good deal. Eventually, they decided to drop the rental portion of the business and effectively said too bad. A quick lawsuit later I had my full purchase price back in my hands. Not a lawyer but it was about 2 hour total to file in small claims and prove my membership and lifetime certificate.

Device Control (96 comments)
It would be nice if devices had the ability to limit the GPS accuracy for all applications. Something that would allow them to return circular (Spherical?) regions that are defined to fall on a LAT/LON boundry so it doesn't place you in the center of the circle. Have the lowest region be exact LAT/LON, then 100 meters, 1km, 10km, 100km and off. This would only be helpful if the device itself did it to prevent companies with no common sense from doing this.
Re:awful, awful awful awful (293 comments)
The difference is a person can tell if they are feeling well and will not have a mass failure all at once (occasionally heart attacks or strokes cause driving issues but out of millions of drivers the numbers are low) The question is can the computer handle when it has a sudden reboot because of a overheating device or a short circuit across the main bus. Even if it can't you would have to weigh potential total failure of the computer system with how many drunks and poor drivers (those who cause unintended accidents due to incompetence.) there are on the road and find out which is the net positive. I am guessing the computer will do a better job even if the failure rate was fairly high. It is way to much to ask that everyone takes a precision driving course and actually pays attention and acts responsibly so your theory about the computer doing better sounds accurate.

We had Vonage and its just fine, works like a charm, until as usual the internet connection goes down. This seems to happen about once ever month where im at. The phone since I was old enough to use it has never been off.

KR3W CM Slim-- very slim
These pants are very slim, and the cuff is really tapered. Too slim for my style. My fave pair of KR3W denim is still the K Slim. They're narrow, but don't look like the seams will split when I sit down and have looser cuffs that gather on your shoes well.

It slipped up on me. I hadn't marked today on the calendar because this is just one of those days one doesn't forget - or necessarily look forward to.
Today marked the anniversary of the birth of my late step-father. He was not a healthy man and thus saw his departure before he could have possibly accomplished all he had hoped and before he saw the majority of his dreams become reality. He died three years ago at a relatively young age of 67 after being forced into early retirement after a massive heart attack.
Broken relationships, family issues and just keeping up with life in general had him from living his dreams. I recall hoping at the time that I would have many more days than he to explore life and weave my way through the maze. However, time flies fast and the reality is that hardly anybody ever marks everything off their list. Even an additional 30 or 40 years for my step-dad, a period of time I once thought to be infinite, would not have been enough.
We never have enough time so we have to pick and choose what is important and then, with a lot of effort and some luck, we can attain some of our goals. The rest will have to be left to somebody else. That is easy enough. The difficult part is determining what is really important...
Happy Birthday Gene!
