The Other Mother
Published: July 25, 2004
(Page 4 of 5)
There is nothing like having a baby to make you fall in love with your partner all over again. While the girls were still in the hospital, E. proposed to K. ''I look forward to wearing my incredible love for you on my finger,'' she wrote in a note. On Christmas Day, they exchanged rings in front of the tree, a fire warming their living room. ''It truly felt like the best moment of our lives,'' K. says.
The apartment quickly became too cramped for a family of four, so the couple bought a house in Corte Madera, an upscale Marin town with a solid school system. They both contributed to the cost of lessons, haircuts, birthday parties and child care. They hired a nanny, who worked for them for five years and says that ''both people were their mother.'' K. took Fridays off to spend with the girls and stayed home when they were ill. She bathed them, danced with them, sang incessant rounds of ''Baby Beluga.''
Despite all that, E. says through her lawyer, there was no ambiguity: she was the mother. Marrying someone -- especially when it's only symbolic -- doesn't make her the parent of your children, nor, she adds, does sharing a house or hunting for Easter eggs. E. says that she was the only one called ''Mama'' by the girls and that she never introduced K. as a co-parent. Lisa Wagner, who was part of the couple's close-knit circle of lesbian parenting friends, says that that's not true. ''At times I didn't know which of their moms the girls were referring to, so I'd ask, and they'd say, 'Mama E.' or 'Mama K.' There was no question the twins perceived both of them as their mothers.''
E. admits to listing K. on school forms, but says that it was only so she could pick up the children. K. points out that her partner listed her as ''co-parent,'' sometimes crossing out ''father'' to do so. E. also wrote ''My grandparents'' on photographs of K.'s parents with the girls, and once, K. says, when a twin asked why she didn't have a daddy, E. responded, ''Aren't you lucky you have two mamas?''
K. says she expected that they would eventually see a therapist to discuss when to tell the girls that she was their genetic mom. But three years went by, and E. still wasn't ready. Their fights on the subject grew nastier, and one night, K. recalls, she demanded, ''When are you going to tell them?'' E. simply said, ''Never.''
''You can't do that,'' K. said.
''Oh, yes I can,'' E. snapped back. ''Because I'm their only legal mother.'' Then, for the first time, she brought up the consent form.
''I thought, Why are you doing this?'' K. says now. ''They're my children. I've raised them.'' Maybe, she speculates, E. worried that if the girls knew the truth, she wouldn't feel like their real mother. K. recalls: ''Friends would come over and say: 'Jeez, how did you guys do this? One of the twins is the spitting image of K.!' That was hard on her. I believe she was struggling in a deep way with her infertility.''
E.'s lawyer scoffs at that. ''That's K.'s construct,'' she says. ''E. had come to terms with her infertility a long time ago.''
Increasingly, K. lived in fear; her core connection to her children was in jeopardy. She pressed -- even begged -- her partner to come clean about the childrens' conception and to pursue a second-parent adoption if necessary. E. resisted. Their relationship became defined by, and ultimately reduced to, the struggle to stake out their motherhood. When the girls were 5, K. says, E. disappeared with them for three days. K. was so upset when they came home that she defied her partner: that night at bath time she revealed to the girls how they were related to her.
E. planned a move to Massachusetts, where her own mother lived. To prevent her from taking the children, K. filed a petition to establish her parental relationship. On the recommendation of her lawyer, K. moved out. The two reconciled a few months later and started counseling but were soon fighting again.
E. finally took the twins to Massachusetts a few months before they turned 6. In February 2002, K. sought joint custody. Meanwhile, E. gradually restricted K.'s access to the girls until she was allowed just one phone conversation with them a month. Ultimately, E. disconnected the family phone, forcing K. to call on her cell. The last time K. went to Boston, one of the twins confided that they were discouraged from talking about K., California or Parmesan. ''It's her way of making it easier for them, so that eventually . . . ,'' K. trails off, unable to speak for a moment. ''But what she doesn't realize,'' she finally continues, ''is that they're never going to forget about me. Moms just don't go away.''
In fact, that is exactly what the Marin County Superior Court expects her to do. Although the judge, Randolph E. Heubach, recognized the attachment between K. and the children, he ruled that it was legally irrelevant. As for the genetic link, he wrote, to ignore the consent form could undermine other sperm or egg donations. ''The court recognizes the harsh consequences this decision will visit upon the innocent children,'' the decision reads, yet it ''feels compelled to adopt the result which the evidence and the law appear to require.''

Well, I'm trying pretty hard to avoid hard core suckage. I hope you've enjoyed your stay.
This morning, on the Ten of Cups, I gave guys faces and did some things to make a blond woman's head more obvious. Then I did clean up work on approximately the leftmost three and a half characters. I can probably finish this one this evening and then have three days to do the Ace of Wands before I have to drive to Arizona.
January 26th, 2010 #37
@ JP and Ilaekae: It looks like I'll be done in a couple of days. If you need help with one let me know ASAP. I haven't been to Arizona to check up on my deadbeat brother in five weeks. He's supposed to be moving out of my house, but surely will not do so unless I am there regularly insisting that he do so. Therefore I must go there soon. If that is a hassle because of last minute group formatting requirements brought up by Daestwen I could probably stick around in the weekend and go there early next week. That would mean I don't get my Pasadena paycheck until two or three days late. Still, that's just the way of things. I can't really wait until the following weekend because I will probably want to prepare that weekend for a two day trip to Texarkana I have to do Feb. 8, 9 to do a tech. tutorial/Markman hearing in a patent infringement case I am defending there. Anyway, blah blah blah, update:
January 27th, 2010 #38
I've started my final art now that the hassle of the last two POWs is somewhat under control, and I should make it easily. Like what you did with the "ladies" arttorney. Mine are going to be a slight bit more "graphic" out of necessity because of the idiotic amount of info I have to squeeze in, but the border and such will match yours. Thanks for the border work.

I don't know if this will help arttorney but the meaning behind the Ace of Wands is ....
Aces are seed cards - beginnings
The Ace of Wands is a symbol of possibility in the area of creativity, excitement, adventure, courage and personal power. The Wands represent fire (they are the 'life' cards), the spark of creation. Whether it be a new idea or a newly realized goal, or a new way to achieve success ... the wands represent the beginning of something new. A seed has been planted and now you have to nurture it.
Hope this helps!

Yeah. I was going to try to make it like he was stepping out of the cloud and handing the staff to the querent, but it currently looks more like he is losing a wrestling match with a telephone pole. I guess I should try to find a way to work in some fire. Maybe I can key off the creativity and make it be a pencil he is handing out, or he touches the pencil to the ground and right there a little tree starts to grow.
I worked in dabs of the four suit colors to the card back idea. Of course the big file doesn't have our names on it.

text: From what I've read so far I've come to the conclusion that my CPU is the problem with my system. A 2.4GHz Pentium 4 just doesn't tax my 5900 enough. I'm only getting 12390 in 3DMark 2001, and most of my games don't play any better than when I had the GeForce 4 Ti4600 in the system unless I use AA and AF. I'd like to upgrade my CPU, but I'm stuck with the 400FSB which can only be upgraded to 2.6GHz. Maybe I'll wait for the Prescott to come out in a couple of months. If I go AMD, I'm guessing an Athlon 64 3400+ would be a great choice. Any CPU ideas out there? Thanks for the advice.

Curiosity rover completes 1st drill into Mars rock
Monday - 2/11/2013, 6:52pm EST
AP Science Writer
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- In a Mars first, the Curiosity rover drilled into a rock and prepared to dump an aspirin-sized pinch of powder into its onboard laboratories for closer inspection.
The feat marked yet another milestone for the car-size rover, which landed last summer to much fanfare on an ambitious hunt to determine whether environmental conditions were favorable for microbes.
Using the drill at the end of its 7-foot-long robotic arm, Curiosity on Friday chipped away at a flat, veined rock bearing numerous signs of past water flow. After nearly seven minutes of pounding, the result was a drill hole 2 1/2 -inches deep.
The exercise was so complex that engineers spent several days commanding Curiosity to tap the rock outcrop, drill test holes and perform a "mini-drill" in anticipation of the real show. Images beamed back to Earth overnight showed a fresh borehole next to a shallower test hole Curiosity had made earlier.
"It was a perfect execution," drill engineer Avi Okon at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory said Saturday.
Previous Mars landings carried tools that scraped away the exterior layers of rocks and dirt. Opportunity and Spirit -- before it died -- toted around a rock grinder. Phoenix, which touched down near the Martian north pole in 2008, was equipped with an ice rasp to chisel frozen soil.
None, however, were designed to bore deep into rocks and collect pulverized samples from the interior.
With the maiden drilling out of the way, it'll take several days before Curiosity transfers the powder to its instruments to analyze the chemical and mineral makeup.
The cautious approach is by design. Curiosity is the most high-tech spacecraft to land on Earth's nearest planetary neighbor and engineers are still learning how to efficiently operate the $2.5 billion mission.
The team won't know until next week how much rock powder Curiosity collected. But judging by the small amount left in the drill hole, Okon said he was confident the rover has enough for its upcoming lab analysis.
Another unknown is whether any Teflon rubbed off from the drill and got mixed with the rock sample. Before Curiosity launched, engineers discovered that microscopic flakes of Teflon can break off from the instrument and have been studying workarounds. Okon said any Teflon contamination would be small because Curiosity did not drill for long.
As images from the drilling operation streamed to Earth, some team members shared their excitement on social media.
The "full drill hole was a success! I'm sure it was LOUD and they heard the drilling action for MILES!" tweeted rover driver Paolo Bellutta.
Mission managers previously predicted that drilling would be the hardest engineering task since the landing, which relied on never-before-tried tricks including a rocket-powered platform and cables that lowered Curiosity in an ancient crater last August.
The dramatic landing gave way to a labor-intensive checkup of Curiosity's various instruments. The drill was the last tool to be tested.
While Curiosity executed the first rock drilling on Mars, the method has been used on other celestial bodies.
The Apollo astronauts wielded a handheld, battery-powered drill into rocks and delivered pieces to Earth. The Soviets deployed spacecraft that drilled into the lunar surface to collect rocks for Earth return and also used robotic drills on missions to Venus.
Once Curiosity finishes its rock analysis, the team's focus will turn to starting the drive to a mountain, expected to take nine months with stops. It is there that scientists hope Curiosity would uncover signs of organic molecules, the chemical building blocks of life.

Our return stay at the Ullikana was just as good as the first. Helene and Roy are wonderful hosts and there is a warm and friendly feel to the beautiful house. Feasting on Helene's marvellous breakfasts in the peaceful garden looking out to the bay is an experience we will long remember. The main street is only two minutes walk from the Inn and a pretty walk along the sea only two minutes the other way.

Our daughter recommended the Inn at Ullikana for our recent trip to Bar Harbor, and we're glad she did. The whole Inn and grounds all seem to be in great shape, very clean and well organized and maintained. The rooms are also very well designed and great on the eyes. The whole area seemed to be very quiet, even though it is only a short walk to town and restaurants. The back patio has a great view of Frenchman Bay, and one of our treats during our stay was seeing the Queen Mary 2 while we had breakfast in the back patio. Breakfasts served were fantastic, and different every morning we were there. Not just delicious but also the way they were served. The afternoon snacks in the living room before a roaring fireplace were also very nice. On top of all this, Roy and Hélène have to be among the most gracious and helpful hosts we've encountered. The feeling was that they had time for all of their guests, were able to help them on tours, reservations and other activities in the area, and also really got to know their gusts. Their staff was also very courteous and helpful. If we're ever up in Bar Harbor again, the Inn at Ullikana is definitely the place we'll stay.

Google co-founder Sergey Brin admitted this year that Chrome's absence on the Mac platform was an embarrassment for his company. The company worked to ensure that the beta version of the browser would reach a deadline of the end of 2009.
The download, available direct from Google, is 17.6MB. It requires Mac OS X 10.5 or later, and only runs on Intel processors.
Google on Tuesday also released a beta version of Chrome for computers running on open-source Linux operating systems.
Linux and Windows compatible versions of Chrome could be customized with features such as mini "extension" programs.
"We've been working hard to deliver a first-class browser for the Mac "" it took longer than we expected, but we hope the wait was worth it!" the development team said on its official blog. "We wanted Google Chrome to feel at home on the Mac, so we've focused on uniting our clean, simple design with subtle animations and effects to create a snappy and satisfying browsing experience on OS X. As you might expect, the speed of Google Chrome for Mac is something we're very proud of. If you have a Mac, try installing the beta and see how fast it launches "" there's hardly even time for the icon in the dock to bounce!"

22.04.05 - By Harry Summers Jr.: Ahead of their WBA featherweight title clash tomorrow in Jakarta, Indonesia, defending champion Chris John, 34-0-1 (19), comfortably made weight today, weighing in at 125.60lbs, while challenger Derrick "Smoke" Gainer struggled. In fact, the ex-champ, who at 5'9" has a large frame for a featherweight, almost ran out of time!
On the first attempt, Gainer, 39-6-1 (24), weighed in at just over 129lbs. He was then given the customary two-hour deadline to make the 126lb limit. An hour later, he weighed in at 126.95lbs. With just 5 minutes remaining, a drained-looking Gainer finally made the weight, coming in at 125.20lbs.
Some verbal barbs were exchanged between both parties at the weigh-in. This came after a controversial press conference yesterday, which saw an agitated Gainer storm out.

Ok, here's my dillema. Someone in my league just dropped Johan Santana. I was thinking about picking him up, but don't want to drop anyone on my team to get him. I might just leave him on the waiver wire until I hear he has a shot at a rotation spot and then hope I'm the first one to get in on him.
Another big one: Someone also just dropped Ken Griffey, Jr. I would love to have him on my team. We have a DL spot, but I would have to drop someone to pick him up initially and then try and pick that player back up after he clears waivers. Not sure who to try and sneak through waivers to acquire Jr. Was thinking about Aramis Ramirez, since I have Alfonzo at 3B, and other 3B on the wire include: Jose Valentin, Robin Ventura, Mark Bellhorn. I could also try Frank Thomas. Thomas is off to a slow start, but I think because of "name value" he would get claimed on waivers. On the plus side, if I would lose Thomas, I could pick up: Steve Finley, Aubrey Huff, Josh Phelps, Karim Garcia, or Travis Hafner.
I guess the downside is that many of the players on my team have gotten off to good starts, so if I waive one, they most likely will be claimed. I'm just not sure who is the best player to waive that may not get claimed and I can acquire them after they clear free agency. What do you think.

Edited on: March 7, 2012 7:17 am
Owners should prevail, unless jury has Mets fans
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- The Mets suffered their first loss of what could be a very long season when bankruptcy court Judge Rakoff ruled Monday that team owners Fred Wilpon and Saul Katz must pay back up to $83 million in Madoff profits. Further, he ruled that they must stand trial for another $303 million. So the drama and unrest continues, into the baseball season.
Madoff overreaching trustee, Irving Picard, originally sought $1 billion from the Mets owners, so from that standpoint, Wilpon and Katz are already ahead of the game. But to no one's surprise, people close to the case suggest a loss of even $386 million could put their ownership in peril.
Beyond the immediate loss of up to $83 million and upcoming trial, the other bad part for Wilpon and Katz is that the case of their baseball lives is going before a jury. One thing they say about jury trials, they are unpredictable. The other thing about this jury trial, the jury could be made up of angry Mets fans.
Seeing what's happening on the field, Mets backers aren't in a very good mood these days. Wilpon contended when the Madoff story broke that their investment in him wouldn't affect their beloved team, but Mets fans know by now that most of their money is going to the owners' lawyers, not their outfielders, infielders, pitchers and catchers.
Wilpon and Katz have taken the payroll down an unprecedented $50 million. What's left on the hole-filled roster are veterans who have been disappointments in recent years and a whole bunch of kids with varying degrees of promise. Their $90-million payroll and limited talent doesn't become any major market, much less New York.
One piece of positive news for the Mets owners is that Judge Rakoff, a brilliant veteran jurist, signaled that he doesn't believe Picard has much of a case here for the next $303 million. Rakoff even tweaked Picard for producing more "bombast'' than "bombshells'' (Rakoff apparently has a writing touch), and indeed it appears Picard's case for "willfull bilndness'' by the Mets owners appears woefully weak.
There is no smoking gun, no e-mail from Wilpon or Katz suggesting they knew a thing about what Madoff was up to. That Picard found one or two or even three employees who suggested they thought (but don't know) Madoff might not be on the up-and-up isn't nearly enough. The former employee Noreen Harrington, who said she warned Katz, appears to have been prescient. But even she said she admitted to Katz she couldn't prove what Madoff was up to. (Katz claims not to recall the conversation.)
Picard may think Wilpon and Katz were knowledgeable investors, but there is no evidence they were. Real estate (and baseball) is their game. They obviously know real estate. (As for baseball, I'll leave that up to you).
There is not a scintilla of evidence they knew more about securities than all the 4,000-plus folks who foolishly invested their money with an epic scam artist. Madoff was obviously a very good con man. He fooled all this people plus the banks plus the SEC. Obviously a few folks knew. The crook who wound up dead in his pool in Palm Beach obviously knew; he got a 900-percent return from Madoff one year. His widow fairly turned over several billion dollars to Picard.
The Wilpon-Katz gains were generally in the 10-to-15 percent range per year, which is exactly what the rest of the rubes got. There is no evidence Madoff was paying them extra to be silent partners. And just because they saw each other at the country club or on the Long Island Railroad doesn't mean anything. Neither does it if the Wilpon and Madoff families vacationed togethers. As Rakoff said, where's the bombshell?
There is nothing to prove Wilpon and Katz were any different from the rest of the 4,000-plus dupes who knew nothing about stocks, bonds or investing. As many people should know, there is ZERO chance a securities investor can make 10-15 percent every year for decades without a single down year or even very much variation. It just isn't possible, as Harrington told them. Even Warren Buffett has down years. Even if he averages a whopping 20-percent a year for decades, that includes significant variation and some down years.
To say Wilpon and Katz should have known is silly, and a waste of breath. They ALL should have known. The SEC should have known. They are paid to know such things. But they, too, were duped by Madoff, who was seen as a pillar of the community.
Wilpon and Katz made their money by being aggressive and tough. Katz has big stones. (In his famous quote in the New Yorker article by Jeffrey Toobin, he boasted of having "big balls," something he didn't dispute when I questioned him about that quote earlier this spring. Though he did say that this is why he doesn't talk much to the media, and the smoother Wilpon does). I have known these guys for years, and I find it easy to believe that they knew next to nothing about investing in stocks. Like the others, they were fools (though perhaps fools with bigger balls in one case). They probably got a bit greedy, like when they gave Bobby Bonilla deferred payments for decades because they saw Madoff as a sure thing. But being greedy and crooked are two different things.
There is nothing to suggest Wilpon and Katz are crooks. But unfortunately for them, a jury of Mets fans may not see it exactly that way.

An independent data monitoring committee halted the trial after interim results showed the high statistical probability (96.4 percent) that patients randomized to SRS alone would continue to perform better.
M. D. Anderson researchers measured participants' neurocognitive function using a short battery of neuropsychological tests, with the primary endpoint being memory function as tested by the Hopkins Verbal Learning Test Revised. Patient performance that decreased more than a predefined criteria relative to their baseline were considered to exhibit a marked decline.
"This is a case where the risks of learning dysfunction outweigh the benefits of freedom from progression and tip the scales in favor of using SRS alone. Patients are spared from the side effects of whole brain radiation and we are able to preserve their memory and learning function to a higher degree" said Chang. "Here the research suggests patients who receive SRS as their initial treatment and then are monitored closely for any recurrence will fare better."
The study builds on previous research by senior author Christina A. Meyers, Ph.D., M. D. Anderson's chief of the Section Neuropsychology in the Department of Neuro-Oncology, examining neurocognitive function in patients with brain metastases treated with whole-brain radiation. "Unlike past studies comparing the two treatment strategies which did not use sensitive cognitive tests or closely follow patients after being treated with SRS, radiation oncologists in this trial were able to identify new lesions early and treat them with either radiosurgery, surgery, whole brain radiation or less commonly, chemotherapy," Meyers said. "We believe doctors and patients alike will favor this method over upfront w

Doody's Review ServiceReviewer: Vicki Ann Moss, DNSc, MS, BSN, RN (University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh)
Description: This book explores spirituality as a concept both historically and currently. The author discusses ways to assess a patient's spirituality and the role of the nurse in providing spiritual care.
Purpose: The purpose is to explore the relationship of spirituality and nursing practice through many different perspectives.
Audience: This book would be appropriate for nursing students as well as practicing and retired nurses.
Features: Patients of all ages and with varying health problems were interviewed as were nurses from many different specialties to identify spiritual needs and spiritual care. Two new chapters have been included in this third edition. The first explores spiritual well-being and quality of life at the end of life and the second presents an author-developed theory of spirituality in illness. Spiritual assessment tools are included in chapter three as well as a Spiritual Assessment Scale with established reliability and validity. The author states that the book derives mainly from her Judeo-Christian philosophy, but it could be a valuable tool for nurses from other religious traditions as well.
Assessment: The book is filled with interesting sayings from revered spiritual healers and leaders and wonderful narratives from patients, families, and nurses regarding their spirituality. I found the chapter on the spiritual history of nursing to be especially interesting as the author traced the various persons and religious orders providing physical as well as spiritual care. There are chapters related to the needs of persons with acute illness, chronic illness, children, and older adults, the needs at the end of life as well as those in a mass casualty disaster. This book is easy to read, contains an abundance of practical information, and is inspiring and thought provoking.

Health-related quality of life outcomes at 1 and 5 years after a residential retreat promoting lifestyle modification for people with multiple sclerosis

There is a strong body of evidence that supports the use of non-drug therapies in the management of people with multiple sclerosis (MS). A 5-day residential retreat for people with MS in Victoria, Australia, promotes lifestyle modification within a patient-centred model of care. Analysis of the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of the retreat participants was undertaken using the MSQOL-54, prior to attendance, 1 and 5 years after the retreat. 274 retreat participants (71%) completed baseline questionnaires. Despite the usually progressive nature of MS, the cohort demonstrated clinically and statistically significant improvements in HRQOL. One year after attending the retreat, median improvements of 11.3% were observed in the overall quality of life domain (p < 0.001); 18.6% in the physical health composite (p < 0.001); and 11.8% in the mental health composite (p < 0.001). In the subset of 165 who had reached the 5-year time-point, there was a 19.5% median improvement in overall quality of life (p < 0.001); 17.8% in the physical health composite (p < 0.001) and 22.8% in the mental health composite (p < 0.001), compared to baseline. Attendance at a retreat promoting lifestyle modification for the integrated management of MS appears to have positive effects on short and medium-term HRQOL. Non-drug therapies should be considered as part of any comprehensive treatment plan for people with MS.

Great classic coleslaw dressing that was super easy and quick to put together. Threw in a little fresh jalapeno for spice. Wonderful!
Really nice - very very creamy. Had to make it without the horseradish (last minute), and it was fine. Found the amount of mayo a little overwhelming - would cut back on that next time.
I have made a lot of different coleslaw dressings, but this is the best. Served it with pulled pork and a cucumber salad. Fantastic meal.
I'd never made coleslaw before but needed a quick side for pulled pork sandwiches. I used my mini-Cuisinart to chop everything then added in the mayo to combine, which worked perfectly. I halved the recipe since I only had a 4 1/2 cup pckg of Trader Joe's cabbage. Took 4 minutes from beginning to end. Loved it!
Very good and extremely quick. I cut back just a tad on the sugar and mayo. I let it marry in the refridgerator 5 hours before serving. Well balanced.
Wow. This dressing kicks ass. It is that good I took another readers suggestion and didn't use as much horseradish. Would love to see if the kids will eat it.
First time I've ever deviated from my standard cole slaw recipe. I made this to dress broccoli slaw tonight for dinner. This is probably the best slaw dressing I've ever eaten. This will be my new standard. nb, I cut back a bit on the horseradish for the kids.
I love coleslaw but find decent coleslaw recipes hard to come by - this one is outstanding. One correction - I put in half the mayo - it's much better that way.
Good luck waiting a day until you devour this creamy, well-balanced slaw! It's perfect right out of the bowl. No changes required; creamy, tangy, and spot-on for "classic" coleslaw.
This was just OK, certainly not what I wanted in a classic coleslaw. Way too much vinegar taste, even after I added extra sugar. I did let it sit overnight, and still the vinegar was overwhelming, I added sour cream, and I'm going to have to figure out some way to salvage the rest of this slaw because it makes a lot, and I hate wasting ingredients. Funny, because I love vinegar, but this...this was too much. If you are looking for a vinegar slaw, OK, but if you are looking for that classic creamy-sweet-vinegar slaw, this is not it.

Lower Powell Green Street and Sewer Repair Project
Construction Starts in Summer 2015
Environmental Services will replace and repair 4,500 feet of sewer pipe that is over 100 years old and in poor condition, construct 22 green street facilities and plant 11 trees to absorb rain and reduce stormwater runoff. The project will keep about 1.6 million gallons of stormwater out of sewers annually, increase sewer system capacity and reduce the risk of basement backups. This project is part of the Tabor to the River Program, which combines green infrastructure with pipe repair to save Portland sewer ratepayers more than $60 million dollars.
Noise Review Board Public Hearing
Due to high traffic volume during the day, Environmental Services has requested a variance from the Portland Noise Office to allow overnight construction on several streets within the project area (see map below). Work on all other parts of the project will be during daytime construction hours.
This map is not to scale and is meant to show the proposed work at the general location.
Portland noise code allows construction from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Work after 6:00 p.m. and before 7:00 a.m. and during all hours on Sundays requires a noise variance from the Portland Noise Review Board. The board is requiring a public hearing on the noise variance request for nighttime construction on this project. The public will have an opportunity to make comments and ask questions at the hearing.
Noise Variance Request Hearing
6:00 p.m. Wednesday, May 13, 2015
Portland City Hall, 1221 SW 4th Avenue
2nd Floor, Lovejoy Room
Go to www.portlandoregon.gov/oni/noise for more information about the Noise Office and requirements for a noise variance.
Submit Noise Related Comments
Your comments are valuable and we want to hear from you. If you are unable to attend the noise board hearing, please submit your comments to the Noise Office by May 13, 2015. To ensure an accurate record, please submit your comments by letter or email.
Portland Noise Office
1221 SW 4th Avenue
Suite 110
Portland, OR 97204
Night Construction Methods, Locations, and Estimated Durations
The primary construction method that will be used at night is open trench excavation that includes the use of pavement saw cutters, whisper bypass pumps, generators, lights, dump trucks, front end loaders, track hoes, cranes, and pavement rollers. Below are the locations and estimated durations of open trench construction at night.
- SE 8th Avenue (Powell to Woodward) – open trench construction up to 26 nights
- SE 9th Avenue (at Woodward) – open trench construction up to 10 nights
- SE Milwaukie Avenue (at Brooklyn Street) – open trench construction up to 30 nights
- SE Powell Boulevard (at 11th Avenue) – open trench construction up to 6 nights
- SE Powell (13th Place and 14th Avenue) – open trench construction from 75 to 105 nights
- SE Holgate (at 25th Avenue) – open trench construction up to 23 nights
Cured in place pipe (CIPP) lining will also be used in two areas and includes the use of whisper bypass pumps, generators, lights, dump trucks, front end loaders.
- SE Milwaukie Avenue (Powell to Woodward) – prepare area and perform CIPP up to 4 nights
- SE Powell (at 14th Avenue) – prepare area and perform CIPP up to 4 nights
Louder tasks will be completed before midnight when possible. Construction hours and duration of night construction are tentative and subject to change. More information about construction methods can be found online at http://www.portlandoregon.gov/bes/methods.
Email Updates
To receive the most timely updates, which are especially useful during construction, please add your name to the project email list by emailing your name to Matt Gough with "Powell" in the subject line. If you already receive emails on this project you don't need to sign up again.

Competitive giving
Housing Authority aims to feed
Bare shelves and empty stomachs were reason enough for one local organization to get into the spirit of giving.
Evansville Housing Authority employees and residents began a monthlong competitive food drive to help the Salvation Army Food Pantry.
An official said EHA never had held a food drive like this one, and about 100 employees and residents took part in the contest.
About 7,000 canned and nonperishable food items were collected at 10 sites throughout the city.
As part of the contest, which began on Nov. 9 and ended Thursday, four EHA departments formed teams and challenged each other to see which team could collect the most donations.
"It got to be a whole lot of fun," said Ramona Gilmore, a program coordinator with EHA.
She said the departments would send e-mails to each other about the amount of items each had collected. In the end, the main office was announced the contest winner.
A prize will be awarded, although what it will be has not been announced, said Gilmore.
As of Thursday, more than 3,800 items had been collected, counted and delivered to the food pantry.
A final drop-off was made Friday afternoon.
The donations come at a time of significant need. Typically, the food pantry sees about 2,500 people per month. The number has increased by more than 2,000 per month recently.
Although the food pantry receives government help, it also relies heavily on donations from area residents and businesses.
The increased number of people looking for resources forced the food pantry to close for two days recently after running out of food.
Since the end of October, the food pantry has received nearly 8,000 donations and about $11,000 in monetary donations, said Amy Kroeger, director of development for the Salvation Army.
Anyone wanting to make a donation to the Salvation Army can drop it off at the Salvation Army at 1040 N. Fulton Ave.

Polar Bluetooth Smart Stride Sensor Sale At HRWC
The Polar Bluetooth Smart Stride sensor for iPhone 5 and 4S is on sale during July for $67.99, while supplies last, at the Heart Rate Watch Company.
Bozeman, MT (PRWEB) July 11, 2013
The Polar Bluetooth Smart Stride Sensor is on sale during July at the Heart Rate Watch Company for just $67.99.
"This is the world's first Bluetooth Smart stride sensor and connects directly to iPhone 5 or 4S to deliver speed, distance and run cadence", says Rusty Squire, President of the Heart Rate Watch Company.
"The sensor provides all the data needed for running with the exception of heart rate and you can add a Polar H7 heart rate monitor to receive that data," says Squire. He adds, "We even offer an iPhone 5 Run Bundle that includes the Polar Bluetooth Smart Stride Sensor, the Polar H7 strap, an armband to hold iPhone 5 and a tube of Spectra 360 Electrode gel."
The Polar Bluetooth Smart Stride Sensor comes with a small rubber pod holder that threads directly into the show laces. "It is worth having a couple of these if you have more than one pair of running shoes so you don't have to re-thread the pod, simply move it from holder to holder," says Squire.
The Polar Bluetooth Stride Sensor also has a user changeable battery and complete stride sensor calibration instructions are available on Polar's website according to Squire.
"For folks that bring an iPhone 5 or 4S with them for exercise, or have to have it for work, this is a good solution," says Squire. He adds, "Competitive runners will be much more apt to stick with GPS watches."
For shoppers looking for a GPS watch deal, the Heart Rate Watch Company also has the Garmin Forerunner 310XT at the best online price of $169 and is offering a complimentary $100 solar charging kit with every Suunto Ambit 2.
"July is a great month to shop at the Heart Rate Watch Company," says Squire. He adds, "We also have the new TomTom Runner GPS watch and will begin carrying Fit Bit shortly for more casual exercise enthusiasts."

Capsule reviews: 'The King's Speech,' 'Tangled'
Capsule reviews of films opening this week:
"Burlesque" - A small-town girl with big dreams and a big voice packs up everything she owns in a suitcase, makes her way to Hollywood and wows the world with her talent. But not everyone has her best interest at heart, so she'll have to cling tight to her values to figure out whom she should trust. And she'll do it ... in song! Yes, they should provide a cliche checklist at the door of "Burlesque," just to make it interactive and help pass the time. Sure, this song-and-dance extravaganza is sufficiently shiny and sparkly, an explosion of sequins and feathers and sass. Writer-director Steven Antin is the brother of Pussycat Dolls creator Robin Antin, so there's a certain familiarity to the bump-and-grind numbers the dancers perform, and the mere presence of Cher guarantees a high camp factor. Although "Burlesque" is never the juicy diva smackdown of "Showgirls," to which comparisons are inevitable, it's good enough as a guilty pleasure, simply because it's all splash and no substance. It's also a shameless vehicle for Christina Aguilera, trying to position herself as an actress in her film debut, even though she's essentially playing a version of herself. She can really sing, of course - one character aptly describes her as having "mutant lungs" - and she looks great on camera, but the performance is all one-note otherwise, if you'll pardon the pun. Stanley Tucci, Cam Gigandet, Eric Dane and Kristen Bell co-star. PG-13 for sexual content including several suggestive dance routines, partial nudity, language and some thematic material. 116 minutes. Two stars out of four.
- Christy Lemire, AP Movie Critic
"Faster" - Recent films of revved-up adrenaline are like movies on steroids, and cause some of the same side effects: nausea, stunted growth and probably some liver damage. George Tillman Jr.'s film begins with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's character literally sprinting out of jail, released in a seething rage from a 10-year prison sentence. The movie is in such a hurry that it doesn't bother to slow down for proper names, instead referring to its main characters as archetypes: Johnson is "Driver," Billy Bob Thornton is "Cop" and newcomer Oliver Jackson-Cohen is "Killer." Driver has a list of people to kill in revenge of an ambush that put him in jail and ended the life of his brother. After dabbling in comedy and kids films, Johnson has returned to macho action, like Arnold Schwarzenegger's prodigal son. Johnson has the muscle for muscle-head movies but - a gifted mugger - he's better dressed up as the Tooth Fairy or hosting "Saturday Night Live." His inner goofball should win out. R for violence, some drug use and language. 98 minutes. One star out of four.
- Jake Coyle, AP Entertainment Writer
"The King's Speech" - This is the kind of handsomely photographed, weighty-yet-uplifting period drama that seems to arrive amid great fanfare come awards time each year. It's based on a true story about British royalty, features a glittery cast and hits every note you expect it to hit. And yet the film is so flawlessly appointed and impeccably acted, you can't help but succumb. If you can get past the nagging sensation that what you're watching is a cynical calculation to appeal to the Academy, well, you'll be delighted, because the "The King's Speech" is undeniably charming. Director Tom Hooper and writer David Seidler give the people what they want: This is high art for the masses, but you could also look at it as familiar fare that's been gussied up. At times it feels like no less of a mismatched-buddy comedy than the Todd Phillips road-trip flick "Due Date," although the opposites who initially clash and eventually cling to one another are played by the esteemed Colin Firth and Geoffrey Rush. Firth, functioning as the Robert Downey Jr. figure, is arrogant and uptight as King George VI (father of Queen Elizabeth II), who's struggled all his life against a debilitating stutter; Rush, in the Zach Galifianakis role, plays speech therapist Lionel Logue, who persuades the priggish royal to loosen up with his unorthodox methods. And there's even a climactic deadline they have to make: The king, or "Bertie" as Lionel calls him to his great annoyance, must deliver a radio address to unite and inspire his people as the country stands on the brink of World War II. R for some language. 118 minutes. Three and a half stars out of four.

In "Crossings," one of three video installations at Bose Pacia, Kaleka has painted several figures on four separate panels, using only shades of gray. Projectors beam moving images (in color) of the same characters onto the painted versions, bringing them to life. In certain sequences, the effects are wondrous. Four people, as if paroled from stiffness, step out of their frozen selves; elsewhere, they settle slowly into their seated doubles. A slouched man suddenly lifts a sledgehammer, striking the space before him, and produces a white horse. It's a busy 15-minute dream of jumbled memory and longing. Less successful is Kaleka's insistence on constant shifts in background, mostly scenes from India's Delhi and Punjab regions. At times, "Crossings" resembles a PBS travelogue.
In an earlier work, "Man Threading a Needle," a subtler application of the technique truly creates the sense of a painting come alive. The gray shadings of the oils shape the video's lurid colors into a holographic presence: An older man stares at his hands, which hold a needle and thread. But then, unnervinglylike the eyeblink in Chris Marker's La Jetéehe shifts, shudders, breathes.
A video-only installation, "Man With Cockerel" highlights Kaleka's expertise with composition. Painterly, black-and-white, the scene could be an outtake from a film by Satyajit Raya man smugly carries a prized rooster, then loses it. Elementary effects of post-production software (dissolve and distortion) make the piece look underdeveloped, but then Kaleka, a keen experimenter, considers all his work to be "in progress." Let's hope we see more, soon, of his innovations. Don't miss these.

Hello bloodbath
"'Attack' is the only order worth remembering."
"Fuck! Fucking! Fuck-ity fuckhole fuckass!" Israel shouted before flopping face first onto the table
He and company were chatting about no particular subject in Saren's breakfast nook after coming for 'midnight breakfast' prior to his eruption. They all stared at him like deer caught in the headlights of an oncoming semi-truck.
"Huh," Joseph stabbed his meal with his fork, "The pancakes aren't that bad, are they? I mean, I'm no cook but-,"
"Not what I meant!" Israel said with his face still on the table, "I am so bored of just waiting for something interesting to happen!"
He wasn't wrong. They hadn't had a proper hunt since the farm incident four months prior.
"You know," Saren said, rising from her seat and rubbing her temples, "I would have loved having time off like this back when it was just me. But now I have to deal with you Neanderthals,"
"But can't we do fucking something?" Israel moaned, finally lifting his head from the table to look at Saren, "I mean, for fucks sake, can't we at least go to…something? Anything!?"
Saren buried her face in her hands and sighed, keeping her temper down "Look," she hissed "If nothing happens in two days, we go on official vacation for a week, okay? Can you survive two fucking days?"
Israel perked up "Damn straight I can!" He said before bouncing up and running out the front door in belligerent excitement.
Joseph shoveled another pancake into his mouth and swallowed it without chewing "Wasn't it supposed to snow tonight, like, a lot?" he pondered.
"Whatever, he's made his bed. I think it's morning now, technically" Saren sat back down and took a sip of her coffee. "How much do you guys want to bet he comes back in covered in blood?"
"Wait," Tristan interjected, "His own blood or someone else's?"
"Let's make it three ways," Joseph said "He comes back fine, I win. Covered in his own blood, Saren wins. And if it's someone else's blood, Tristan wins. Winner gets trophy rights to the next hunt,"
The others nodded and turned back to their food.
"Someone close the door. I'm getting glass cutters here," Saren said, adjusting her shirt and lack of bra
Tristan stood up and walked to her door. When he started pushing it closed it burst open. Israel sauntered back in and sat back down at his seat, completely unscathed, causing Joseph to grin like the cat that ate the canary.
Saren began to say something but was cut off by Israel "Saren, you're gonna want to get rid of those corpses I just made on your front porch,"
"What!?" She darted to the door and opened it, just as Israel said, two corpses, fresh and bleeding on her porch, "What the fucking hell, man?!" she grabbed them by the pant sleeves and dragged them inside as fast as she physically could. "Seriously?!" She slammed the door shut and looked at her team "What the fuck is wrong with you?! You just killed two random people!"
"Found these on them," Israel calmly threw down a set of pictures of the entire team and pointed at the corpses "Check the faces, they should be familiar," Saren knelt down and looked at both of their faces. They were skinheads, the skinheads that were beating on her when she met the others.
"What the hell?" Saren said "Were they going to start more shit or something?" she nudged one with her foot "Either way, someone get a couple trash bags. Fucking shit man, don't just pull-"
A groan was heard from one of the bodies as it began to writhe, alive.
Joseph and Tristan quickly grabbed him and hoisted him up by his shoulders. Saren grabbed him by the chin and brought his face up to her level.
"Tell me why you're here or we're going to go Ramsay Snow on your ass," Saren stated cold as she possibly could. He spat blood into her face. Saren chuckled and punched him in the stomach making him curl around her fist and spew blood onto her floor. "Yeah, I'm told that hurts,"
"Imma get the hedge sheers," Israel said beginning to walk to Saren's storage closet "What should we cut off first, fingers, toes or balls? Ah it's so much fun just to prepare," he was lying through his teeth, hoping that his assumption of the skinhead's intelligence and cowardice was accurate.
"You are fucking freaks!" The skinhead shouted "Your days are fucking numbered!"
"Oh?" Joseph wondered aloud before twisting the skinhead's arm around, "Why's that?"
"Boss is gonna fuck you up," the skinhead spat "You wrecked some of his boys. He'll be coming for you,"
Saren grabbed him by the neck and brought him back to eye level "Unless you want to be able to join a castrati choir, I recommend telling us everything you know,"
Just then, a ringing was heard. It was the dead skinhead's phone. Israel grabbed it from the corpse's jacket and checked it.
"It's a text. 'hey fatasses, get back to the hideout before I cave your fucking skulls in. And if you shitbrains forgot, it's the big red one in the construction site part of town, you fucking idiots, sincerely Irina,'" After Israel was finished, Tristan ran his sword through the skinhead's back, effectively ending him for good.
"Won't need him anymore," he said as he cleaned his blade on the skinhead's shirt
"'PS," Israel started again "If you fucking pricks died with clean blades, I will violate your fucking corpses. I will do the same if you make me wait for too long,' this girl has a vocabulary, doesn't she?" He tossed Saren the phone.
"Well, what's our next move?" Joseph asked, returning from the back with trashbags and a hatchet.
Saren simply grew a smile so wide that it would give the Cheshire cat a run for his money as she formulated her plan.
The team stepped out of Saren's car and surveyed the area. Just as was said in the text, a red warehouse built and abandoned by the city government.
Saren shoved her boot against the warehouse door and flung it open from the force of her kick. She strode in flanked by Israel and Tristan, barely giving any acknowledgement to the twenty-something skinheads inhabiting the building as they walked to the center of the room.
"How's it going shitbirds?" Saren sardonically asked "Expecting those two idiots, I take it? Well, they're dead as fucking doornails,"
One stepped forward. A girl wearing a revealing leather vest, running her fingers through her shag of dark hair as she was wringing the other around the handle of a large kukri styled machete she had on her belt.
"Was gonna kill those fucking idiots anyway," she spat on the ground, "You did me a favor, bitch,"
Israel chuckled, "I take it you're Irina, the picture they had for you didn't do you justice. I was actually looking forward to seeing a talking asshole and I am very disappointed,"
"Fuck you!" Irina shouted, "We've got a room full of killers! What the fuck do you have?"
They only laughed as they stepped to the side to show the door and Joseph walking in. He was wearing a button up shirt under a suit jacket and tucked into his slacks. In each hand, a pistol, small snub nose revolvers. He had an additional pair in his suit pockets, one in his breast pocket and one held in his teeth with his sword strapped across his back.
With his team stepping out of the way he had a clear view of the crowd in front of him. He levelled his pistols and let loose into them as they began to panic. They began dropping as they regained their wits and attempted to counter attack. A fat one grabbed Joseph by the wrist and was struck with Joseph's free hand and weapon, dropping him and allowing Joseph to finish him the last bullet of his first pair. He dropped the empty pistols and grabbed the one in his mouth and the one in his breast pocket and resumed his bloody work.
Joseph shot down whatever moved in front of him and what got too close he battered down with the solid metal of the pistols before shooting them as well.
He dropped the second set of empty pistols and looked over what remained of his quarry, the girl Irina and ten other thugs surrounding her and shitting themselves. Joseph seized the last two pistols he had and fired of a pair of shots each, dropping three targets. Joseph was grabbed by the arm and mistakenly fired a shot into the air before shoving his second pistol into his assailant's torso and firing. He continued firing and watching his insignificant prey die with the grim satisfaction he was accustomed to.
Irina showed no sign of worry or complaint when her last companion was shot in the face by Joseph and she even began to laugh. Her roaring laughter was dreadfully devoid of all warth, mirth and was colder than the midwinter air just outside the door of the blood drenched warehouse. Her laugh dwindled into a chilled giggle as she looked Joseph in the eyes "Do it," she called to him "Shoot me in the fucking head,"
Joseph clenched the trigger and was met with a loud and empty click. He looked at his pistol, realizing that it was out of ammo, along with the pistol in his other hand.
"Well damn," Joseph swore, "This is kinda anti-climactic, huh?"
"Yeah it fucking is," Irina agreed, "Well, this was fun, hope you assholes die in a ditch," she turned toward the backdoor of the building and began walking towards it. The concrete wall a foot away from her head exploded as a magnum bullet struck it.
"Fuck me with a frying pan!" Irina fell onto her back before quickly standing back up and looking at Joseph, who had the gremlin pointed at her with a smoking barrel. "Fuck you, you fucking cock ho-lyshit that's a big pistol,"
Joseph fired again, twice, this time neither were warning shots. The bullets struck Irina just under her shoulder and in her abdomen and out onto the wall. Blood splattered on the floor, but she barely flinched as the hot lead shot into her. She raised her hand and drove her fingers into the wound on her shoulder and pulled out the bullet and dropped it on the floor with a toothy smile.
Her eyes flashed yellow, and her teeth distended and grew, becoming a mouth of fangs. Her hands and arms sprouted dark, thick hairs and her nails elongated into black claws.
She dashed and grabbed Joseph within a single second and tossed him across the room onto the floor and into an ever growing puddle of blood.
Tristan and Saren pulled their pieces and began peppering Irina with ineffective shots as she charged them and bludgeoned them against the walls.
Irina let out a shrill gasp as she felt a sharp pain in her side. She turned and Israel had his cutlass stuck into her side. He withdrew it and swung but Irina grabbed his wrist and his neck.
"You die first," her grip tightened, "I always wanted to make someone spout out their last words, c'mon let's hear them!"
"I got wood, man," Israel squirmed in her grip and grinned at her, "Why do I have wood?"
Irina's smile vanished and was replaced with a confused frown
"Well…," her smile came back, "A for effort!" her grip tightened slightly before she felt another sharp pain in her back.
Joseph was up and had his sword shoved into Irina's back.
"Yo, she-bitch," he withdrew his sword from her and settled into a proper stance, "Let's go,"
Irina casually tossed Israel against a wall and drew her sword. She lunged with an overhead strike and was parried away and countered with a wide sweep. She back peddled and struck low and was parried away again. Joseph swung wide, missed, spun around, and swung again, this time cutting a gash along the front of Irina's left thigh. Irina cried out and clutched the wound before lunging at Joseph with her clawed hand only to get his sword run through her palm and out between her fingers. She reeled back in pain, dropping her blade and clutching her split hand.
"Fuck! Ahhh!"
She dropped to a knee, whimpering at her hand. Joseph saw his opportunity and raised his sword and brought it down onto the place where Irina was a second before. Joseph was dumbfounded for a moment before feeling deep shooting pains arch across his back and stumbled around to see Irina. Irina casually licked the blood off her claws before suddenly dashing and driving the same claws into Joseph's left arm. She stood for a moment, relishing in her apparent easy victory, but then felt coldness in her abdomen, followed by a warm and wet feeling. She looked down to see Joseph's sword, pressed just under her ribcage and the blood seeping around it.
Irina stepped back a few paces, her arms and teeth reverting to normal and fell to her knees, clutching at the sword but not touching it. Her face was a mask of fear and pain as tears ran down her face and she began whimpering. Joseph, coming to his senses through the pain and adrenalin, placed his foot on her shoulder and withdrew his blade, eliciting a loud gasp from the wounded girl.
"Please…" Irina whispered "Help me,"
Joseph staggered and steadied himself using his sword as a support. He took his time helping his companions off the floor. They stood around Irina's bleeding form.
"It appears she wants help," Joseph said as he lifted his sword and drove the tip deep between Irina's ribs. Irina's eyes widened as her mouth silently opened in mock of a scream.
"The fuck man!?" Israel and Tristan shouted in unison. Saren gingerly grabbed Joseph's arm and lifted it which lifted the sword out of the bleeding girl.
"…fu-…" Irina gurgled out "Fuck…you…"
"That won't work," Saren stated while going through her pockets, "You need silver to kill a werewolf," she sighed, "Silver that I didn't bring,"
Israel opened his coat pocket and grabbed a coin, "I brought something," he flipped the coin into the air with his thumb and caught it, "I always have my lucky silver,"
He knelt down and began reaching for one of Irina's wound with the coin. Irina meekly grabbed his wrist with her good hand. Tires screeching on pavement rang from outside the warehouse. Several car doors opening and slamming shut. Shouting. Saren pulled Israel back to a stand.
"We leave, now!" She ordered while running to the door opposite the noise. She threw the door open and ran to the corner of the building, pressing herself to the wall and readying her pistol. Her comrades followed suit, sneaking and limping around the building as the shouting traveled inside. They bolted to Saren's car, and gunned the engine, peeling out and away from the site of the slaughter. By the time the pursuers came out of the building all they could find of their quarry were tire tracks being rapidly covered by the falling snow and a message in blood on the snow.
