Foodstamp Nation In Turmoil: EBT System Goes Dark, "Glitch" Blamed
In the past five years it has become apparent that America can survive a near-fatal financial system collapse, an economy teetering on the edge and kept ticking only thanks to the Fed's now perpetual QE, a collapsing standard of living for everyone but the wealthiest 0.1%, declining wages, zero interest rates, surging food, energy, rent, tuition and welfare costs, and pretty much everything else, as long as the welfare state keeps humming along. Any be welfare state we mostly mean providing the daily bread to the nearly 50 million Americans living in poverty and surviving only thanks to the only thing to have exploded to epic record highs under Obama (in addition to the Fed's balance sheet of course): foodstamp usage. However, the true stability of the US may be tested very soon following reports that due to a "possible computer glitch" the Electronic Benefits Transfer System, aka EBT, ala Foodstamps, is offline. Cue mass panic among the best-weaponized population in the world. Naturally, this latest fiasco involving a country that has grown accustomed to sucking on the government's teat was immediately blamed on a "glitch" - just like everything else that is slowly but surely breaking in the New Normal.
CBS reports:
Reports from around the country began pouring in around 9 a.m. on Saturday that customers' EBT cards were not working in stores. The glitch, however, did not appear to be part of the government shutdown. At 2 p.m., an EBT customer service representative told CBS Boston that the system was currently down for a computer system upgrade.
The representative said the glitch is affecting people nationwide. She could not say when officials expected the system to be restored.
People calling the customer service line were being told to call back later.
State officials said they were preparing a statement to further explain the issue.
The federal EBT website was unavailable due to the government shutdown.
People in Ohio, Michigan and several other states found themselves unable to use their food stamp debit cards on Saturday, after a routine check by vendor Xerox Corp. resulted in a system failure. Shoppers from Maine to Oklahoma had to abandon baskets of groceries because they couldn't access their benefits.
Ohio's cash and food assistance card payment systems went down at 11 a.m., said Benjamin Johnson, a spokesman for the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services. Ohio's cash system has been fixed, however its electronic benefits transfer card system is still down. All states that use Xerox systems are affected by the outage.
Xerox spokeswoman Karen Arena confirmed via email Saturday afternoon that some EBT systems are experiencing temporary connectivity issues. She said technical staff is addressing the issue and expects the system to be restored soon.
As a reminder, this is how many Americans and households were on foodstamps as of the most recent monthly update (hint: a record).
And now, it's time for the sequel to @MrEBT's hit masterpiece: "My EBT... has been rejected."
Xerox Statement on Temporary EBT Systems Outage
During a routine test of our back-up systems Saturday morning, Xerox's Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) system experienced a temporary shutdown. While the system is now up and running, beneficiaries in the 17 affected states continue to experience connectivity issues to access their benefits. This disruption impacts EBT beneficiaries who rely on the system for SNAP and WIC. Technical staff is addressing the issue and expect the system to be restored soon. Beneficiaries requiring access to their benefits can work with their local retailers who can activate an emergency voucher system where available. We appreciate our clients' patience while we work through this outage as quickly as possible.
In short: Cue panic, because while the Nasdaq may be down for 3 hours and only a few vacuum tubes would notice, take down EBT, and you will have a full-fledged revolution in no time.

WOW, so I guess making a joke at the Tylers expense is verbotten?
No sense of humor!
Might have some correlation to the financial nuke that went off in 2008...
And where they're located..
I been sayin' for a long long time that if somebody wanted to fuck US over, all they gotta do is freeze/takedown the EBT system and Viol-Fuckin-A you got a lotta hungry pissed off less than civil (some of which, BTW is downright violent) people out there all of a sudden.
And then there's K Sebalius's view of the ObieCareSystem's not working, too (Very funny)
Fuck US over or finally have a goddamn revolution? Patriots could take down the EBT to achieve that aim. The only thing that will force the unwashed masses to revolt is EBT being cut for weeks.
I'm a thinkin' along the lines of some good olde fashioned Cyber-Warfare to Fuck Things Up
In any case, it'll be blamed on the Republicans at this moment in time... shutting down the gubamint...
That's because it's

Xerox announced late in the evening that access had been restored for
users in the 17 states affected by the outage, hours after the first
problems were reported.
Electronic Bubkis Transfer?
48 hours... Let the count down begin...
3 days without food means people stop acting rationally.
One day in the probable likely future, EBT cards will only work in your friendly, neighborhood FEMA camp.
See...this is the problem (among many):
"Reports from around the country began pouring in around 9 a.m. on Saturday that customers' EBT cards were not working in stores."
They are not a "customer". It implies they have their own money, that they earned and are willing to part with it at a going private concern for a price they agree with, for parting with it...like a grocery store.
Its just bitching about means of payment.
This would NOT BE A PROBLEM...if EBT card users went to a government store for surplus, government subsidized cheese, bought from a private producer.
Would it? ;-)
A man cannot live by cheese alone.

There is no turning back now.

Cornel West Attacks Al Sharpton: 'Bonafide House Negro of the Obama Plantation'
by Andrew Kirell | 4:14 pm, August 30th, 2013
Cornel West tore into many of this week's speeches surrounding the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech, accusing everyone from President Obama to Rev. Al Sharpton of "sanitizing" Dr. King's vision.
"Brother Martin himself, I think, would've been turning over in his grave," West said of the event. "[King would have wanted] people to talk about Wall Street criminality, he wants people to talk about war crimes, or drones dropping bombs on innocent people," he asserted.
"Instead," he lamented, "we saw the coronation of the bonafide house negro of the Barack Obama plantation, our dear brother Al Sharpton." West went further declaring that Sharpton's decline was "supported by [MSNBC analyst] Michael Dyson and others who've prostituted themselves in a very ugly and vicious way."
Waul first there was mind control, it ain't panned out too good....but Stomach control....the new ploy...Obey your masters or you will feel prolonged real gut wrenching pain......got lead? eat it......

At least now we know the true value of Twitter. If it wasn't for them, how would we know the PPLs, folks and Motha Fuckas was going all cra-cra ats the Walmarts?
"after a routine check by vendor Xerox Corp. resulted in a system failure."
Xerox, huh? Well that explains it. Hand the reins of a huge nationwide payment system over to a bunch of copier jockeys and nobody should be surprised at the result.

the market is open Monday right? Leave this system off until Monday morning and they wil get the crash they want. That is assured.
And these people want more money to do what?
Create more broken systems, waste and sow mass confusion far and wide?

Stocks are open on Monday. Bonds closed, banks closed.
Its bad ..
If there's any real point to the welfare state, tonight could be very interesting for about a third of the country.
I really hope that there wasnt any SARC intended.... because that is 100% what that was... The EBT's go dark for a week, and lets say things will get a little kinetic......
A week? You guys are bloody optomists. 2 days of this and you will see social unrest that willl go unmatched. Give it 3 days and you will start to see actual bank runs.
I think even you are being optimistic. I could see shit going down TONIGHT -- and it's out here in California too.
I need to get this evening for a quick look around. Glad I have a full tank of gas.
I may be nuts but I went through this with Sandy, I just threw my daughter in my car and filled up the tank. I sent my sister instructions to come to my house tomorrow if the system is still down. She lives in Brooklyn and I want her out of there.
Stay away from Waldomart, and watch the mirror for out of control Caddy Escalades and Chrysler 300's with spinner wheels!
Both yours and the one above are very good ideas, especially if another thought I had came to fruition:
We have already passed the X Date and they can't even satisfy the benefits currently on the cards...
If the cards were to stay off until Monday morning then the bank runs would start then. 2 DAYS not 3 (and ATMS would have run out before then which would only encourage the run on Monday).
and as this is my first post:

So we have ObamCare web site a pathetic joke of a web site built for $643 million? WTF? They the $2 billion NSA headquarters is having fires, electricity arcs/surges and other problems.
Now the EBT cards are failing.

Get violent or stop talking about it.
I am serious.
In his just-before-death manifesto the US gov ordered pulled from the internet:
« Violence not only is the answer, it is the only answer. »
- Joe Stack (1956-2010)
Joseph Andrew Stack III died in the hope of inspiring resistance and revolt to the US regime
And Barack Obama still fears him, even three years after he died ... Obama and his handlers so afraid, that they wrote Joe Stack's final moments of life into a recent Obama speech, « a plane flying into a building in Texas »
Large photo of US government IRS building on fire after being hit by plane flown by Joe Stack:
A software engineer badly harassed by the IRS and US government and system, on 18 February 2010, Stack first burned down his own house, then, leaving wife and child behind, crashed a small aeroplane into IRS offices
Obviously Joseph Andrew Stack III in his death, did leave quite an impression on the US leaders, if not on the US people
Maybe in the end, suicide bomber Joe Stack may be hailed as a martyr of the still-mostly-upcoming New American Revolution
Stack's dying manifesto, tho the US government ordered it censored, it is still archived and available on the web from others
Article with photo of Joe Stack's burned-down Waco, Texas house
What are you all so furious about that you'd talk about blowing up a building or shoot up a welfare office? Seriously, get some anger management help and stop being pathetic losers.
And Joe Stack? Guy was a fuck-up who projected his fuck ups on everyone else.
That's what half of this shit is, white middle-aged men pissed off at the world and blaming everyone else for their own failings. The 'personal responsibilty' crowd my ass.
"white middle-aged men pissed off at the world"
Well, we have a different definition of middle-aged men I guess. Anyway, good to separate fantasy (fight club) from reality (Joe Stack). Joe Stack was a loser who blamed his personal problems squarely on .gov & ultimately flew his plane into a building / wrote a rambling manifesto to try and convince everyone (himself?) he wasn't a loser. Only a deeply narcissistic fuckhead would do such a thing.
And his big accomplishment in this final act? Kiling a vietnam war veteran and injuring a dozen people, wow what a hero!
Though to be fair, the IRS shutdown and .gov finally admitted Joe Stack actually was right about taxation all along. Oh wait, that didn't happen at all.
A system of fascistic socialism will relentlessly torment the productive independent classes, and some of them will snap. Joel Stack is a natural outgrowth of everything you believe in, Mr. Cole.
When you say the 'productive independent classes' being tormented by socialism what industries specifically are you talking about?
Here's your economy, 1947 - 2009:
Joe Stack drifted among unemployment and actually blamed cutting of government investment as one of the issues. Yet on the other hand blamed .gov overreach into his taxes as justification for flying a plane into a building.
From Stack's actual manifesto:
Instead I got busy working 100-hour workweeks. Then came the L.A. depression of the early 1990s. Our leaders decided that they didn't need the all of those extra Air Force bases they had in Southern California, so they were closed; just like that. The result was economic devastation in the region that rivaled the widely publicized Texas S&L fiasco. However, because the government caused it, no one gave a shit about all of the young families who lost their homes or street after street of boarded up houses abandoned to the wealthy loan companies who received government funds to "shore up" their windfall. Again, I lost my retirement.
His one consistent trait was that he kept blaming the government for his own lack of perception relating to macro trends. We actually don't need all those bases! Military bases are yet another form of welfare and you can see that clearly by how many people get really upset if you try to close the one near them because it is the only reason so many people are in a particular geographic area to begin with! But these artifices are not sustainable.
As per usual, James, you're full of shit. Loser Joe Stack, who owned a personal aircraft- How many airplanes do you, personally own, dear James?
Joe made it to the end of his rope. You? You don't even know what that rope looks like.
Loser Joe Stack, who owned a personal aircraft-
...and was drowning in debt, possible connection? Nahh, his financial problems were 100% a fault of .gov
Listen, dipshit! He may have been in debt up to his eyeballs, I don't know. But, there's more to owning and operating a personal aircraft than simply having a good FICO score. Then again, you wouldn't know that, would you?
But, there's more to owning and operating a personal aircraft than simply having a good FICO score.
I also hear there's more to owning a boat than dumping money into the ocean, even so I remain firmly convinced that such a use of money is not wise for those without the financial resources.
Ok, so you've heard some stuff, huh? What have you actually done, dear James? Some of us have tried and failed. Some of us have tried and succeeded. Still more of us are yet to know whether we'll succeed or fail.
Every day above ground is a good day, James. Each day could be even better, if not for idiots like yourself.
Ok, so you've heard some stuff, huh? What have you actually done, dear James? Some of us have tried and failed. Some of us have tried and succeeded. Still more of us are yet to know whether we'll succeed or fail.
What are you going on about?? We're talking a specific instance where a guy felt justified flying a plane into a building and the fools who think this was some sort of heroic act.
Whatever peoples finances are is their business and I don't much judge people on that, but when people try to justify flying planes into buildings I become a tad more critical.
For gawds sake get some perspective - I'm not randomly lashing out at peoples personal struggles.
Joe Stack's failings do not change the fundamental premise that the downward trajectory of the nation as a whole and the entitlements that feed this trajectory are irreversible otuside of a violent counter-reaction.
Ayn Rand: Reason can be fought with reason......How are you going to fight the unreasonable?
Let's see, there's thousands of dollars for flying lessons, more money to store his big boy toy, money for fuel...
And there's the $38M the government laid out which Joe obviously won't be on the hook for...and the disability I'm sure his wife and son are collecting as a result of his pointless death and abdication of personal responsibility to care for his family.
The guy got a raw deal and refused to handle it like a man.
I think that there are enough of who called themselves the "53%" (of the country who actually has a job and are producing, while (in their eyes) the other 47% are sitting on their asses collecting checks) who are furious enough that they should, lest they be the ones brought upon when (or in-progress-now) the benefits stop.
I'm just sick and tired of the talking about it. There is going to be no balanced budget in the United States of American with a population close to the current 314-ish million. That's reality: You're anywhere from 20-40 years too late, and probably now are looking at 60-120 million Americans who may well have to be dealt with (with as many euphemisms on those last two words as you'd like).
Normally, I would despise a bank guy, no matter his location. But you- are an enigma, and thank you for reminding us of Joe Stack. Not a big fan of the Christian Science Monitor, though. The name, in itself, is an oxymoron.
My Obamaphone is gone dark, what can the excellent Companions of the Grand f@&kin' royal Arch do for me, my chapter number 2 in St James' is f*#%ed up, innit , bitchez?
Except that Joe Stack was an idiot who was trying to put one over on the IRS even though it was incredibly apparent that what he was doing was against their rules. Nobody even remembers that guy or what he did.

Obama just jiggling the handle, blame it on the utter guys on Monday.
What a hoot.
I can tell you for a fact that this ebt outage was caused by a power failure at a primary datacenter, I know this becasue I am sitting in a network operations center as I type this and am directly working with the company that is the cause of all this. Their name is ACS State $ Local Solutions. As I type they are about 20% restored. don't know if the root cause was a power failover test that went bad or not, but that is how it started, total power black out at a primary facility. Well enough said back to work......
thanks for the info man.
NumNutt has supposedly been a member for 4 years and 9 weeks, and this is his first post?
Something smells funny.
Also, when people start a sentence with, "I can tell you for a fact..." or, "The truth is...," instead of just saying whatever they have to say, I get suspicious.
Thanks hedgeless. I suspect that the ZH main site has been hacked. It was oddly more transparent when it was based in Bulgaria. Whocouldanode?
I did not junk you. It was a reasonable post by that dude. Odd what HH pointed out though.
I know you didn't junk me, fonz. Who junks a thank you? This site is glitchier than I've ever seen it. Man! I hope I see you tomorrow!
still trying to determine if that tangent flame war about joe stack was between two shill-trolls..
Some quick, basic bing searching finds ACS is now XEROX state and local. Former head of ACS division is now CFO of.....FEMA.
Mr Norman Dong. Harvard grad.
He said 'dong', hehe
Nope HH I have been here for over 4 years, not sue why none of my other post are showing up. I tend not to post to much these days. I have just found that there seems to be a lot of what I refer to as "thunder cats" posting useless comments. . Young bucks with more attitudes then brains. But long story short I am leggit and what I posted above is fact.
Numnutt, You in Blythewood by chance?
I have been here for over 4 years, not sue why none of my other post are showing up.
The NSA background support staff has been deemed nonessential...just goes to show they are essential.
Some of your posts come up on a google search.
"Thunders Cats" LOL! Sounds like Robot Trader, MDB and a few other f*ckwits who post here.
Xerox? One of those shitty upstate NY companies that are connected to Uncle Sam like IBM, GE, Xerox and Corning. Xerox was always a lib outfit. They dodged oblivion by buying ACS a few years ago.
Kodak sort of failed on that score. They had gotten into pharmaceuticals but sold off that division and went down with the core business "ship." NY state companies like GE - owning politicians to dodge ever paying for clean up of the rivers they polluted in NY state with PCBs.
Thundercats are Go!
I don't think the post archive section is accurate at all anymore, HH. I tried to find one of my own old posts (I've posted plenty), and there were only two in total!!!!!!!!! Also, I seem to recall seeing other NumNutt posts.
The user comment search function only returns results as far back as September 29, slightly less than two weeks ago. It ignores any comments posted before then.
It used to return results back as far as 2009, when the site first moved from blogspot. Something like this first happened to the user comment search results in December 2012, when it stopped returning results prior to late November 2012. It happened again earlier this year, when it stopped returning results prior to sometime in June.
As this is the third time it's happened, it seems unlikely to be accidental, although the reasoning behind it escapes me.
Most of the articles in the archive are still there, although a few of them are missing all of the comments.
"the reasoning behind it escapes me."
Really? Posts are being deleted on ZH, users being banned, and past comments being deleted is difficult to figure out?
Hint, its a lot more conspicuous when you just delete SOME comments.
Really? Posts are being deleted on ZH, users being banned, and past comments being deleted is difficult to figure out?
I apologise for any possible lack of clarity in what I said. While going through articles in the ZH archives, I have found the following:
1) Clicking the link for some articles returns a '404 - page not found' response.
2) Clicking the link for some articles returns a 'You do not have permission to view this page' response.
3) Some articles with a non-zero comment count are missing the entirety of their comment section.
These things occur with a very small percentage of archived articles. Aside from those articles, the comment sections appear to be intact, including comments from people whose ZH accounts were subsequently shitcanned.
When I said, "the reasoning behind it escapes me," I was referring to the phenomenon whereby the oldest comments retrievable from the user comment search, which originally produced results going back to 2009, shifted to late November 2012, then to June 2013, and now to September 29. The comments before those dates still exist, but are not returned in a user comment search. The reasoning escapes me because it appears to defeat the purpose of the user comment search function.
What would it take, if we all chipped in, to somehow have you keep the power off for a few days?
and can we pay by credit?
Ya'll ain't right.
How can I help?
Ain't right?
I'd say they're something just wrong.
rolling eyes
All Right? We're pretty fuckin far from all right.....
"What would it take, if we all chipped in, to somehow have you keep the power off for a few days?"
What would it take, if we all got chipped, to somehow have you keep the power on for a few days?
There, fixed it for ya
Expect this headline: RFID chips Required for Food Stanp Recipients
At our primary facilites we have immediate battery backup and then onsite generators to supply power for the batteries. We have no need for commercial AC. We also have backup portable generators which can be brought to the site in case of generator failure.
What kind of fucked up group is in charge of this site?
And for the data, cut the fiber comming in and another location takes over with only a momentary interruption.
So once again who in the fuck would run a primary site this way?
Let's see...
The USFEDGOV is in charge of the program, overall, but sold out the rights of control to J.P. Morgan (who oversees the EBT program). NATURALLY, they would subcontract certain functions to the 'lowest bidders'...
I understand that the Obamacare website is also having issues in kind.
Of course, you probably work in the 'private sector'. HOW DARE YOU QUESTION OR CRITISIZE, TAXPAYER? (sarc)
If one of my locations goes down I lose my job. No questions asked I am out the door. So this kind of power issue is close to my heart. And my customers pay me so I have an obligation to them to do my best.
Either the generators did not kick in or JPM cut some corners on infrastructure to save $$$. Wouldn't be the first time I've seen a backup system fall over when it is actually needed. We had a data center outage recently due to street power going out. The data center battery backup kicked in to hold load before the generators came online. The capacitors in the battery backups exploded on load transition. The Hazmat team wouldn't even let us in the building for 3 days due to lithium contamination. So, it does happen.
I don't buy it. Unless something FUNDAMENTAL about bank IT priorities has changed in the last decade - ANYTHING that that keeps the dirty little customers and away from bank employees is automated and has redundancies. The last thing JPM wants to do is pay salaries and benefits to people who are answering low-dollar calls.
After 9/11 geographic redundancy became a big issue to those firms that didn't already have it. There's no excuse in bank the size of JPM unless the Fed or the internet itself goes dark.
And who the hell at Xerox implements a system update without a rollback plan (and DURING THE DAY no less)?
I knew a good programmer who did work for The JP Morgue. They would get calls at 3 am because the Indians over in Mubai had no idea what they were doing. This person I know had to fix the shit in the middle of the night that the Indians broke. This person got sick of JPM's nonsense. They eventually told headhunters - No Banks!
I know other people who have worked for other big banks. A lot of the systes are total crap with old code, garbage, H1B ghettoes of non-American programmers because they keep Americans out. This is one reason who Motorola failed. I know one person who worked for Bear and then Lehman before they crashed...oh and AIG. AIG's systems are crap.
At the micro level it's frustrating, but at the industry level it is a clusterfuck of epic proportions that does get the job done, because the cost of a 9 of fineness is the difference between economic growth (or the current stagflation) and TSHTF. There are legacy transaction processing systems that date to the VAX/VMS era running along side and fully integrated with the latest co-located hyperactive black boxes, and there are ever increasing and complex APIs retrieving and integrating data which are being hastily slathered on top of an arguably weak foundation, however, every day the banks are reconciling with the FED and the brokerages are reconciling with the exchanges, and life goes on as people have access to their data and money. If an IT worker aspires to the life of the mythical Maytag repairman- he shouldn't be in an industry based on complex integrated systems with a short product life cycle (or in bed the bankers, but that is a different issue).
I usually like to shop on Sundays.
Do you think you can make arrangements for a regular event to take place? Say.....every Sunday?
Thanks for the scoop.
That would just piss off trillions of fat cells.
This will be blamed on the Repub's and it will work for the big O.
Doubt it. People are getting wise to his schemes particularly after all the vindictive shit he has done during the shutdown to annoy and aggravate people when it wasn't necessary. Even his own people think he's an asshole.
He's a jackass.
I hope Wally World has called the security guards in early today, the free shit army only plays two ways...........
Give me the shit on an EBT cards for free and I play by the rules (sort of)
We storm this motherfucka and mob rob this bitch, it's up to you American people, really it's your choice, which do you want??
Shoppers from Maine to Oklahoma had to abandon baskets of groceries because they couldn't access their benefits.
What a bunch of low-lifes. The get this shit for free and then leave carts full of groceries, some perishable, for others to take care of.
(Gee, when I put it in writing, I wonder why I was surprised.)

WATCH: Madonna's 'Girls Gone Wild' Video
By: Michael Matson
Though she breaks little new ground with the music video for "Girls Gone Wild," the second from her MDNA album, it's still a treat to see so many men photographed in gorgeous black and white. The video's casting director deserves extra snaps for scoring Eye Candy regulars Sean O'Pry, Jon Kortajarena, Rob Evans, and Simon Nessman.
And if you think the dancing high-heeled boys look familiar there's a reason: They're the Ukrainian boy band Kazaky, who appeared on Gay.net in a very similar looking video over a year ago.
Check it out below.

I have never shaved my legs, (wish I had when I had my bad crash and sustained severe road rash). I have thought about it though. And I understand that the reason behind shaving is to help prevent complications due to road rash in the event of a crash.
But is it necessary to shave your legs if you ride a 'bent? I have yet to have a severe crash on my 'bent where road rash would be a result of it. Anyone ever experience road rash after crashing on a 'bent? I suppose it is possible but since you are lower to the ground and "in" the bike rather then on it, isn't the danger of road rash not as much as it would be on a wedgie?

SOPA and PIPA are a very bad idea. Yesterday, several sites blacked out to point out that this bill could introduce censorship to the Internet in the U.S. But better yet, what if the Internet savvy among us collectively stopped using the products or services of companies that supported these bills (Think GoDaddy on a larger scale). When new movies come out, don't go, etc.
It is not the Federal Governments job to make laws against 320 million Americans because a few in Hollywood want to control and shutdown every website in the world. Perhaps congress should actually read the bill before they sign it. American need to stand up to the tyranny that is the u s government.

Quick update on tonight's 2 big West Seattle meetingsJanuary 15, 2009 at 7:12 pm | In Elliott Bay Water Taxi, West Seattle news, West Seattle politics | 6 Comments
At the mayor's open house: About 50 people there (Southwest Community Center in Westwood) as of 7 o'clock. No formal presentation, the mayor really is just working the crowd, with a variety of other high-level city staffers there (including SDOT director Grace Crunican and deputy mayor Tim Ceis, both of whom are also West Seattleites). At the Water Taxi dock open house: Also about 50 people (Alki Community Center) as of this writing, including County Council Chair Dow Constantine. Easels are set up displaying the changes planned for the Seacrest dock, which will stretch it out beyond the existing "L" shape, to a "T" that would be perpendicular to the end of the current fishing pier; there's also information about an upcoming study of parking in the area. A formal presentation is about to be made. 8:44 PM NOTE: We'll be publishing separate stories on both events – which are now over.
6 Comments
the snow open house was really pretty useless. all in all the attitude was 'yeah we know you had trouble getting around, were stuck, couldn't get a bus, couldn't get to daycare/ work' but nobody there had a good response or said anything about what they would do next time.
was asked about bus service. the response we got was, 'yeah we know people had to wait an hour plus for a bus. at least your bus came- some people waited for a bus that never came.'
we asked why there was bus bunching on so many occasions. (no bus for 1.5 hours, and then 4, all 10 minutes apart from each other). the response was, 'we don't know why and that happens sometimes even when there's no snow.'
we talked to SDOT about plowing. during the snow, we couldn't get to a plowed arterial due to the topography. (our street is flat and wide, but the street leading to the plowed arterial is steep and curvy). the response was that SDOT would probably never plow residential streets.. even if the snow stops but is still on the ground, and the arterials have been plowed and salted.
a waste of time
Comment by sam — 7:52 pm January 15, 2009 #
I just got back and was pleasantly surprised. I thought it was pretty well done. All the city staffers I spoke with genuinely appeared interested and open to suggestions for change. It was very casual and relaxed and the conversations didn't feel rushed which allowed us to really explore some of the topics. Plus lots of good, free stuff like flourescent bulbs and emergency flashlights. My wife remarked to me afterwards that that type of accessibility and openess would have never been possible in larger cities.
Comment by Ikonoklast — 8:06 pm January 15, 2009 #
In case I was not clear, I forget to say that I was at the Southwest Community Center event….
Comment by Ikonoklast — 8:07 pm January 15, 2009 #
"mayor really is just working the crowd" is his way of being Obama-in-Seattle. His speeches suck but he can be mildly engaging 1to1. Look for the jeans and casual shirts, as soon as loses a few pounds.now he won't say hi to me anymore.
Comment by howie in seattle — 9:49 pm January 15, 2009 #
There were at least 100 at the Water Taxi meeting.
Some highlights:
Docks to be reconfigured for safer landings in rough water. Also longer ramp so not as steep at low tide conditions.
Recofiguration planned start end of September end at end of 2009.
Year round service to begin early in 2010, but not in January. I think they want to work the bugs out of the new configuration in better weather.
There is a plan for a new boat for the start of year round service.
No increase West Seattle parking or shuttle service at this time.
This is still interim location. They are still trying to abtain another location.
Any additions or corrections from other attendees?
Comment by Will on 56th — 9:55 pm January 15, 2009 #
Those are a few of the details we'll be writing about; the parking study was interesting too.
Sorry, comment time is over.

Despite concerns in the community that water use rates may increase because of fees from litigation in which the Virgin Valley Water District is involved, Kevin Brown, VVWD general manager, said the fees have little do with the $1.5 million shortfall in the budget.
The reason for the shortfall is mostly due to deferred maintenance and capital facilities needs.
"It's not really a litigation issue, although that ties into it a little bit," Brown said. "It's the capital facility needs over the next several years that is driving our discussion on lack of revenue at this time." ...

Lexington, KY - Kentucky women's basketball signee Adia Mathies (AH-dee-ah MATH-is) of Louisville, Ky., has been named the 2009 Kentucky Miss Basketball, announced Wednesday at Iroquois High School by the Kentucky Lions Eye Foundation. The award is chosen by the state's high school coaches. Mathies will be the seventh Kentucky Miss Basketball to play for the Wildcats, including the third in the last five years. She joins 2007 winner Rebecca Gray (Georgetown) on the UK squad next season.
"I am extremely happy for Adia," UK Hoops Coach Matthew Mitchell said. "Her being named Miss Basketball 2009 is truly special. It is the culmination of an unbelievable high school career. She is an incredible player and we are looking forward to her playing for the Wildcats next season. It is always an honor for everyone associated with UK Hoops to have a Kentucky Miss Basketball on our roster."
The 5-9 senior also was named the Most Valuable Player of the Houchens Industries Girls' Sweet Sixteen championship, the Gatorade Kentucky Girls' Basketball Player of the Year and the Louisville Courier-Journal's Sixth Region Player of the Year. She averaged 17.1 points, 11.4 rebounds, 3.9 steals, 3.8 assists and 1.9 blocks per game while leading Iroquois High School to an impressive 33-1 overall record and the Lady Raiders' first state tournament title.
She will wear the No. 1 jersey when Kentucky faces Indiana in the states' annual high school all-star series, set for June 13 in Indianapolis and June 14 in Louisville.
Mathies is ranked as the 13th-best shooting guard in the country and 65th overall player, according to ESPN HoopGurlz.com. She has been a varsity player since the sixth grade and has tallied over 2,800 career points while starting at guard seven consecutive seasons.

Adding Spice to Life
"Can you imagine a world without spices?... Imagine life without Worcestershire sauce, mustard, pickles, chili sauce, seeded breads, tacos, or the myriad of tasty, convenient ready-made meals."
Ian Hemphill, an Australian spice dealer, asks us to imagine such a scenario in the opening pages of his book, The Spice and Herb Bible (Robert Rose, Inc, 2002). Clearly for him, not having these items in his life would be unthinkable. Unthinkable?.... Hey fella, wake up and smell the non-caffeinated low-acid herbal tea-- life without mustard and chili sauce is a challenge we deal with every day! And a challenge it is, to make food tasty and appetizing while not antagonizing a finicky IC bladder. Tens of thousands of us not only mange to do just that every day, we do it darn well.
One of the keys to enjoying flavorful foods while keeping a calm bladder is confronting the popular myth that "spicy" food means "hot" food. Sure, there are hot tasting spices like chili powder, mustard, and horseradish which reliably provoke bladder trouble. And less obvious spices such as cumin, cloves or paprika also have substances that may irritate some IC bladders. Yet many other herbs and spices are mild and bladder-safe even in relatively large amounts. Basil and mint for example are culinary herbs that most of us don't have trouble with. But such common spices are not the end-all of bladder friendly flavors. The world is full of spices, many hard to find in grocery stores here but well known to famous chefs and five-star restaurants. Some herbs, like dandelion for instance, are simply not that popular in the foods on America's tables today, but were common in the daily fare of centuries past. Other herbs, such as alexanders, are not well known in America, but are commonly found in households in other parts of the world. Trying uncommon spices is one way to add variety to mundane dishes and menus.
Mild bladder friendly flavors
Without going into detail about the many foreign spices available mostly in specialty shops and online, here are a few relatively bladder safe spices that are readily available in most grocery stores. If you are in the process of doing an elimination diet to find your unique bladder triggers, these mild but tasty flavors would be some of the first ones to try adding back into your diet.
Poppy Seed
Here are two other herbs that are considered pungent because they have a fairly strong taste, but are still not "hot" and bladder-burning. Most IC patients don't have problems with these even when they are used generously.
Bay leaves
Spice trends
Over the past several years a trend has developed in food marketing that is expected to continue: people want more convenience and are willing to sacrifice some creativity in cooking to get it. In terms of the spice market, that means spice blends will become more common. Some spice importers are already pushing aside some of the less popular individual spices in their product lines in order to accommodate the blends. On grocery shelves you will see more bottles labeled "Cajun Spice Blend", "Taco Seasoning" or "Italian Herbs". This is bound to make life a bit tougher for those of us with IC. Often a spice blend will have several bladder friendly spices but one "killer" component that rules it out of our diet.
Another problem with buying spice blends is that you wind up having more bottles in your spice cabinet (a fact not lost on the spice merchants). Rather than combining and recombining a handful of spices to get dozens of flavor variations, merchants want you to buy dozens of bottles of specialty blends, one for each recipe you cook. This not only makes for a lot of clutter and expense, but little-used blends become flavorless when they get pushed to the back of the shelf and forgotten. (Mark each bottle with a date when you purchase it. Most spices won't last more than three years, tops.) And lastly, there's the problem of flavor enhancers and preservatives that are put in some of these blends.... some of them can be real bladder burners.
The solution? Make your own blends in small batches for the ones that you use often, and for rarely-used blends, mix your own on the spot when you cook the recipe. For convenience, you might print the recipes for your spice blends on 3x5 cards and tape them inside the door to your spice cabinet.
Bladder friendly spice blends
Fines Herbes is a
traditional and easy-to make French spice blend that especially
2 Tbsp. dried chervil
Note: Parsley is fairly high in oxalates so if you have vulvodynia as well as IC, you may want to avoid it try substituting another tablespoon of chervil for the parsley.
Herbes de Provence is another herb blend from the south of France. It traditionally contains thyme and often also contains French lavender. French lavender is a milder version of the English lavender used so much in cosmetics and perfumes. While today we don't think of it as useful for cooking, in past centuries lavender flowers were commonly used in European cooking. In North Africa and the Middle East lavender is today used as a popular culinary flavoring. Herbes de Provence is a stonger flavored blend than the fines herbes. But the robust flavor can perk up spring salads, steamed carrots, or mixed cooked vegetables. Try topping a hot baked potato with butter and a generous dusting of ground herbes de Provence. Commercially prepared versions of the blend often substitute cheap anise for the more complex flavor of tarragon. Again, recipes vary from family to family, but here is my favorite:
Herbes de Provence Blend
4 tsp. dried thyme
Note: You can substitute
dried chervil for the parsley if you want a lower-oxalate version. To
use, figure about 1/2 tsp. to 3/4 tsp. of the blend per person or serving.
