City government
- See also: Mayor-council government
The city of Seattle utilizes a "strong mayor" and city council system. In this form of municipal government, the city council serves as the city's primary legislative body and the mayor serves as the city's chief executive.[2]
The mayor serves as the city's chief executive, and is responsible for proposing a budget, signing legislation into law, appointing departmental directors and overseeing the city's day-to-day operations. Ed Murray is the current Mayor of Seattle.[2]
City council
The Seattle City Council is the city's primary legislative body. It is responsible for adopting the city budget, approving mayoral appointees, levying taxes and making or amending city laws, policies and ordinances.[2]
Seattle's city council has nine members. A list of current members can be found here.
For most of Seattle's recent history, all nine council members were elected at-large. In 2013, however, Seattle voters approved Proposed Charter Amendment No. 19. This amendment created seven new districts within the city, which are responsible for electing seven council members. Two council members are still elected at-large.
The transition from at-large voting to district-based voting will take place in conjunction with the November 2015 elections. All nine city council seats will be up for election. The seven district members will serve four year terms. Initially, the two at-large members will serve two year terms; but after 2017, they will serve four year terms. A map of Seattle's seven districts can be seen below. For more information on Proposed Charter Amendment No. 19, visit the Seattle city clerk's office.
Council committees
The Seattle City Council features a total of twenty standing and ad hoc committees, which focus on individual policy and legislative issues. Generally, the drafting of city legislation begins with the committees.[3]
For a list of Seattle's committees and committee members, see here.
Boards and commissions
A series of advisory boards and commissions that are made up of non-elected citizens, whom city council members have appointed and approved, advises the Seattle City Council. The roles of these boards and commissions are to review, debate and comment upon city policies and legislation and to make recommendations to the city council.[4]
For a full list of Seattle city boards and commissions, see here.
The city of Seattle, Washington will hold elections for city council on November 3, 2015. A primary will take place on August 4, 2015. The filing deadline for candidates wishing to run in this election is May 15, 2015. Because of the establishment of new districts in 2013, all nine city council seats - seven districts and two at-large - are up for election.[5][6]
Seattle's adopted operating budget for fiscal year 2014 was $4.4 billion.[7]

Initiative process
Seattle is a first class charter city and, according to the July 2011 Census update, possesses a population of 620,778.[8] Signature requirement is 10% of the total number of votes cast for the office of Mayor at the last preceding municipal election; 20% to force a special election. Prior to circulation for signatures, such petition shall be filed with the city clerk in the form prescribed by ordinance, and by such officer assigned a serial number, dated, and approved or rejected as to form. The petition form requirements are in Seattle Municipal Code, 2.08.010 to .040. Petitions must be filed with the clerk within 180 days of form approval. After certification, the council has 45 days to adopt or shall submit at the next regularly scheduled election, irrespective of whether it is a state or municipal election or a primary or general election; but the city council may in its discretion designate submission be at a general election rather than a primary or call an earlier special election. If signatures equal 20% a special election shall be called within 60 days.
Seattle Charter, Art. VI, Sec. 1 Seattle Code, Title 2

Military Aircraft:
Observations on DOD's Aerial Refueling Aircraft Acquisition Options
GAO-04-169R: Published: Oct 14, 2003. Publicly Released: Oct 14, 2003.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(757) 552-8100
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
During the Senate Armed Services Committee's September 4, 2003 hearing on the Department of Defense's (DOD) proposed lease of 100 Boeing KC-767A aerial refueling aircraft, Congress expressed concern about a significant "bow-wave" funding requirement in future years to pay for leasing and then buying these 100 aircraft at the end of their leases, while continuing efforts to modernize the remainder of the tanker fleet. Subsequently, Congress requested that DOD analyze the option of leasing 25 aircraft, followed by a procurement of the remaining 75 aircraft. The Deputy Secretary of Defense responded to the request on September 22, 2003, identifying several alternative acquisition strategies, with associated cost and savings estimates. On September 25, 2003, Congress asked that GAO review the DOD response and assess the validity of the department's assumptions and the accuracy of the cost and savings estimates, and identify any other alternative acquisition strategies that the Committee should consider. This letter responds to that request.
In our opinion, the assumptions used by DOD to develop its analysis of acquisition options generally appear to be reasonable, and the computations of the cost and savings estimates associated with these options appear to be accurate based on the current terms and conditions of the negotiated lease. We do believe, however, that the costs and savings numbers could be further refined under the options involving purchase. For example, Air Force officials indicated that The Boeing Company would pay the cost to underwrite the issuance of the bonds needed for financing in the original lease option. However, they could not definitively say whether the underwriting costs were included in the $131 million price for each aircraft. Because fewer bonds, if any, would be issued under the options involving purchase, the costs should be lower and the savings higher. With the exception of the fifth option, DOD did not significantly deviate from the costs, schedules, and support provisions contained in its July 10, 2003 report to the Committee and the Congress. Air Force officials stated that their analysis of options complied with the Chairman's request and that analyses outside the proposed lease's terms and provisions would be academic exercises that might not be representative of the final negotiated prices. These officials also stated that changes from the proposed contract would require new negotiations and new review and approval actions, and consequently would lead to additional delays. In addition to the options presented by DOD, we believe two other possible approaches--lease fewer tankers or purchase tankers on a slower schedule--may be of interest to the Congress. Both options would involve fewer than 100 aircraft--one through leasing and one through direct purchase. Both options have advantages and disadvantages that we have not fully explored in the time available.

Beach Buds

Whether it's given the spotlight in a baby's nursery or a toddler's playroom or it's coupled with Andrea's other animal friends, this touching scene keeps your décor just sweet enough by evoking the magical realms of a child's imagination.

Andrea Doss
I love creating whimsical, quirky art inspired by my children and their wonderful imaginations. Every piece is approved by both my daughters and must comply with the following checklist: Fun? Check. Silly? Check. Colorful? Check. (This one is gauged by how long my two-year-old will point at it and ooh and aah.) Everything I create has a story to go along with it, thanks to my daughters. It's usually long and complicated, with princesses and monsters, but it's imaginative and I love that I can inspire that kind of creativity in my girls.

HRC Mourns the Death of Maya Angelou
May 28, 2014 by Chad Griffin
I'll never forget the first time I heard 'On the Pulse of Morning' in 1993. I was only 19 years old and still very much in the closet, but Maya Angelou's greatest gift was the ability to reach each and every person with her wisdom, the beauty of her language, and her simple insistence upon a better and more just world."
Angelou has said that there is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside of you. LGBT people know this truth well—and it is part of why so many in our community have looked to her as a hero for so long. For those of us whom Angelou inspired to tell our own stories and live our own truths, we will always miss her indispensible voice.
Maya Angelou was a longtime friend to the LGBT community and to the Human Rights Campaign, in particular. As far back as 1998, Angelou spoke at the second annual National Dinner. Her books, poems, speeches and essays have long been—and doubtless will continue to be—a source of inspiration for LGBT people and for all people who seek a more open, more hopeful and more just world.

Altendorf's attorney, Robert Stock, tells the Grand Forks Herald that the company denies the allegations.

Were Can I fill a 5 gallon keg in the Bronx NY area? Thanks
5 gallon keg? Do you mean a 5 lb Co2 tank?
Brew it at home. It's much more fun, and can be much cheaper.
I dunno, sounds like he may be onto something..... Maybe I just start toting kegs to the houses of people on the board and get beer.... I like it.
AHA Member, Mississippi Brewer's Guild, Hattiesburg Beer Club, Raise Your Pints, and Outlaw Homebrewer
Eschew obfuscation
Yes sounds good.
its a bit of a drive plus tolls but blackforest brew haus in farmingdale will fill cornys

getting a color change – poem ana christy
getting a color change
the receptionist-
the barry manilow leather- faced bitch
gives me the once over
the brown creases in her make-up
crack with her verbal assault making
her look more like a camel than a
barry manilow
so you want to consult another stylist?
all i wanted was a color change
from black back to red
no biggy
and she said she could do it
and it wouldn't be hard
four hours
four bottles of hair color remover
four bottles of red dye
four bouts with the 100* hair drier
$50 and up!
an emergency call to the clairol hotline
to no avail
you gave a red streak right down the
center of my part and the rest still black
broken and brittle
a skunk on drugs
i began to walk out
my hair soaking wet
yelling at the bitch that i am not paying
and that they ruined my hair
i left mad
angry hair dripping over linoleum.
ana christy from beatnik blues

Beat Quotes
This is a good sized list of quotes by or pertaining to a beat author. Some of them are very deep, some of them all funny, and some make no sense whatsoever. Enjoy.

-William Burroughs
"Strip your psyche to the bare bones of spontaneous process, and you give yourself one chance in a thousand to make the Pass."

"Rather, I think one should write, as nearly as possible, as if he were the first person on earth and was humbly and sincerly putting on paper that which he saw and experienced and loved and lost; what his passing thoughts were and his sorrows and desires."
-Neal Cassady to Jack Kerouac
"Americans should know the universe itself as a road, as many roads, as roads for traveling souls."

"Madness is confusion of levels of fact…Madness is not seeing visions but confusing levels."

-Kerouac on the night Ginsberg and Cassady met
"I really dont know how much I can be be satisfied to love you, I mean bodily, you know, I somehow dislike pricks & men & before you, had conciously forced myself to be homosexual…I dont want to be unconsciously insincere by passing over my non-queerness to please you."

-Steven Watson, Birth of the Beat Generation
"I alone, as the sharer of their way of life, presented a replica of childhood."
-Neal Cassady

If you can pronounce correctly every word in this poem, you will be speaking English better than 90% of the native English speakers in the world
If you can pronounce correctly every word in this poem, you will be speaking English better than 90% of the native English speakers in the world.
After trying the verses, a Frenchman said he'd prefer six months of hard labour to reading six lines aloud.
Dearest creature in creation,
Study English pronunciation.
I will teach you in my verse
Sounds like corpse, corps, horse, and worse.
I will keep you, Suzy, busy,
Make your head with heat grow dizzy.
Tear in eye, your dress will tear.
So shall I! Oh hear my prayer.
Just compare heart, beard, and heard,
Dies and diet, lord and word,
Sword and sward, retain and Britain.
(Mind the latter, how it's written.)
Now I surely will not plague you
With such words as plaque and ague.
But be careful how you speak:
Say break and steak, but bleak and streak;
Cloven, oven, how and low,
Script, receipt, show, poem, and toe.
Hear me say, devoid of trickery,
Daughter, laughter, and Terpsichore,
Typhoid, measles, topsails, aisles,
Exiles, similes, and reviles;
Scholar, vicar, and cigar,
Solar, mica, war and far;
One, anemone, Balmoral,
Kitchen, lichen, laundry, laurel;
Gertrude, German, wind and mind,
Scene, Melpomene, mankind.
Billet does not rhyme with ballet,
Bouquet, wallet, mallet, chalet.
Blood and flood are not like food,
Nor is mould like should and would.
Viscous, viscount, load and broad,
Toward, to forward, to reward.
And your pronunciation's OK
When you correctly say croquet,
Rounded, wounded, grieve and sieve,
Friend and fiend, alive and live.
Ivy, privy, famous; clamour
And enamour rhyme with hammer.
River, rival, tomb, bomb, comb,
Doll and roll and some and home.
Stranger does not rhyme with anger,
Neither does devour with clangour.
Souls but foul, haunt but aunt,
Font, front, wont, want, grand, and grant,
Shoes, goes, does. Now first say finger,
And then singer, ginger, linger,
Real, zeal, mauve, gauze, gouge and gauge,
Marriage, foliage, mirage, and age.
Query does not rhyme with very,
Nor does fury sound like bury.
Dost, lost, post and doth, cloth, loth.
Job, nob, bosom, transom, oath.
Though the differences seem little,
We say actual but victual.
Refer does not rhyme with deafer.
Fe0ffer does, and zephyr, heifer.
Mint, pint, senate and sedate;
Dull, bull, and George ate late.
Scenic, Arabic, Pacific,
Science, conscience, scientific.
Liberty, library, heave and heaven,
Rachel, ache, moustache, eleven.
We say hallowed, but allowed,
People, leopard, towed, but vowed.
Mark the differences, moreover,
Between mover, cover, clover;
Leeches, breeches, wise, precise,
Chalice, but police and lice;
Camel, constable, unstable,
Principle, disciple, label.
Petal, panel, and canal,
Wait, surprise, plait, promise, pal.
Worm and storm, chaise, chaos, chair,
Senator, spectator, mayor.
Tour, but our and succour, four.
Gas, alas, and Arkansas.
Sea, idea, Korea, area,
Psalm, Maria, but malaria.
Youth, south, southern, cleanse and clean.
Doctrine, turpentine, marine.
Compare alien with Italian,
Dandelion and battalion.
Sally with ally, yea, ye,
Eye, I, ay, aye, whey, and key.
Say aver, but ever, fever,
Neither, leisure, skein, deceiver.
Heron, granary, canary.
Crevice and device and aerie.
Face, but preface, not efface.
Phlegm, phlegmatic, ass, glass, bass.
Large, but target, gin, give, verging,
Ought, out, joust and scour, scourging.
Ear, but earn and wear and tear
Do not rhyme with here but ere.
Seven is right, but so is even,
Hyphen, roughen, nephew Stephen,
Monkey, donkey, Turk and jerk,
Ask, grasp, wasp, and cork and work.
Pronunciation (think of Psyche!)
Is a paling stout and spikey?
Won't it make you lose your wits,
Writing groats and saying grits?
It's a dark abyss or tunnel:
Strewn with stones, stowed, solace, gunwale,
Islington and Isle of Wight,
Housewife, verdict and indict.
Finally, which rhymes with enough,
Though, through, plough, or dough, or cough?
Hiccough has the sound of cup.
My advice is to give up!!!
English Pronunciation by G. Nolst Trenité
I used to work under
the guise
of cocaine vodka and speed
the words came out like
a spicket spilling words
Into notebooks filled
With rant and sticky
shot glasses residue
like crop circles
They came and went
But were always there
In some nook or corner
easy to reach at a moments
and i miss those great days
that were part of my world
With you my mentor sitting
Across the old kitchen table
Butts accumulating in
The old blue ashtray
Your rugged face in
Haze of smoke
"everything to excess.
Nothing for success"
-you laughed when i
Repeated our funny mantra
it suited me then just fine
Life was intense like a
Double edged sword
when the words come to me
now they come more naturally
especially when i smoke weed
or drink some sort of libation
once when younger I
used to write with no sort of
enhancement just Dylan, incense
And a pot of tea
and that was good too-
when inspiration comes now
it's like an avalanche tumbling
toward me-if i am not ready
i can get lost in it forever
those are the good days and
there are many of them and
the best days are when my words
are published and i feel real
an another successful
poem or a page for my
latest book
i am happy no matter
which way they come
then there are the bad days
That came after my overdose
and coma
My damaged brain spit out amnesia-tic
Have to decipher the good from
The bad the spelling the grammar
The stumbling bumbling mishmash
Clutching my head in desperation
"You can do it" he said "just carry
On as if it never happened
you have it, you just have to find it"
and I would cry for my loss of
wanting to stamp my feet and shake
My head till the letters and words
Came out on the right order.
goodness can come from chaos
sometimes i write words
and discard them
I write
better under the influence
than without
as long as i have a connection
I'll be just fine.
Just you are no longer there. Ana christy

I have a PHP script that's called by an external vendor. One of the GET values is a timestamp that is MySQL format, GMT + 0200. Here's an example:

I can convert that into the format I'm after using:
$converted = date ("m/d/Y h:i:s A", strtotime ($ts) );
However I would also like to convert it to the local time, e.g. GMT + 10. I'm stumped on this last bit - appreciate if anyone can recommend some options for converting between timezones/GMT offsets as I'm not sure which PHP function to use.

Is there any way to determine the last time a report has been modified? This came up from a SOX review.
David are you talking about the Report Option or the specific Report Layout - Report Writer modifications?
Just want to know what direction to take this conversation.

Hi David,
If it's a Report Writer report, the answer is No. There is no way to determine the last time a report has been modified. The answer is the same for report options. If one of your report options table has a time and/or date stamp, then yes. The 70000 tables hold the report options. I checked a few and did not see any date stamps in that table.
Kind regards,

In the video, Westbrook hobbles out to his pool on a crutch but then takes the crutch and mockingly slams it over his knee and tosses it into the water. Then, holding a basketball in a shooting motion, he says, "I'm back."

Newbie plants Cantaloupe in fenced in garden...
These are two Crenshaw cantaloupe plants.
I have already accidentally broken off 2 vine ends trying to deal with the mess. NOT recommended. I would not plant these again unless they had 15' of straight vining space at a bare minimum.
An update... the trellis did not work at all. The leaves got all bunched up from overgrowth in the trellis area, and the plant continued to grow, out, over, and around the fence. There was no keeping these 2 plants in the garden space. This picture shows the back of my 6 foot fence. Some of these vines must be close to 20 feet long, with large leaves on tall stems, and show no signs of stopping growth.
Also, one of the fruits and I assume more to come unless I intervene have grown deformed through the holes in the fence.
One of the plants has the powdery mildew towards the base of the plant, I tried baking soda and Draconil, and it has only gotten slightly worse but no better. I ordered some Immunox as suggested in another thread I will try.
How long does it take cantaloupe fruits to fully mature after getting pollinated?
You can direct the growing stems through your fencing, and they will continue to grow outside the fence, rather than up and over it. But yes, these types of plants are definitely wanderers! I wonder if you could cut back on the stems next year? (if you didn't want them to grow through the fencing).
I grew butternut squash once - one plant took over my entire garden and I got one squash to show for it along with a few tiny ones. I only grow zucchini now, the plants might get big but they don't travel too far. ;)
I've cordened off a section of my garden for Waltham butternut squash. I just used a cattle panel to separate the area. It's about 25'x6' and they always escape.........but usually it's just into the rest of the garden and they don't seem to hurt anything, so I just leave them alone. The strength of the cattle panels can handle them, but I have to keep an eye on if the weight of the vine is crimping it too much........then it's bungee cords to the rescue. :)
I'm losing the battle to the PM.. tried Daconil, baking soda, and I ordered Immunox and sprayed that yesterday but today it continued to get worse and spread to my Acorns and Zucchini. I'm open to any other suggestions. .. I have a nice fruit set of the lopes, how long until they are ripe?
These aren't cantaloupes, they're my small sugar pumpkins!! The tiny vines with tiny flowers are the cantaloupes! I must have gotten them backwards somehow.
If these guys survive the aggressive PM they've got, we will have a bountiful pumpkin harvest...
I grew sugar pumpkins last year. I had to cut them off the vine and take them home for various reasons. They had just started to orange up a tiny bit. I was able to bring them home and they got mostly orange under a plant light. They had a nice flavor but weren't as sweet. They didn't rot within a week the way zucchini does nor did they shrivel up. If they start to turn orange at all or if you can make the vine last until they start, I think you may have a chance.
The oldest ones are just starting to orange. So if all the leaves die I should just leave them on the vine in the sun until orange? If the vine dies I should leave them just in the sun?
Thanks! If they all manage to ripen I will have a nice pumpkin harvest despite all the issues. I wish my butternuts did as well, can they mature off the vine if theirs dies?
I tried everything for the PM, baking soda, milk, daconil, immunox, nothing appeared to have any effect. Luckily it seems slow spreading to the newer leaves enough that it wouldn't be much of an issue if the deer didn't eat them!
This post was edited by Peter1142 on Mon, Aug 4, 14 at 9:10
The sprays you mention don't cure powdery mildew (well I'm not sure about the daconil and immunox). They only help to control it's spread. Which is what you've noticed. If you didn't spray the PM would have most likely taken over your plants and quickly. Once you've got PM there is no turning back the clock.
Well, I have read elsewhere that PM rarely kills an entire plant by itself or effects new leaves, and this seems to match my experience. I did not spray every plant I have out there and some others have gotten it on a few leaves but it is spreading slowly, only on the older leaves, the same as the pumpkins. I did not spray the newer leaves either. While I understand that PM can't be cured, I honestly don't feel like I have made any real significant difference, only perhaps slowed it down a tiny bit. Given that all of these plants are now on their way out no matter what I do, I am kind of burnt out from trying to take care of them, and will be happy with the harvest I am getting. At this point 2 zucchini a day, about 10-15 acorns, 4 butternuts, 8-10 pumpkins (assuming they all mature, but I bet I can eat them green all the same, or use them for dog treats), I am already sick of squash now and haven't even harvested all the winter stuff yet.
What would be good for prophylaxis next year?
