Prof takes over First Avenue, 4/13/13

First Avenue, Minneapolis
Saturday, April 13, 2013
"YOU CAN NEVER BE TOO BIG" was the all-caps slogan Prof wore on a black T-shirt Saturday. Though it might've been referring to his rising career -- and the recent double cover stories promoting his two sold-out shows at First Ave. -- the potty-mouthed Minneapolis rapper was more likely talking about Gampo Jr. in his pants.
"Are you old enough to touch this dick?" he asked the all-ages crowd in the early going as he executed one of many pelvic entendres directed at the front row, before adding, "I doubt it." And indeed this was a night when the passages on the First Avenue main floor remained remarkably unclogged for a capacity crowd. A ton of drinking-age fans stayed up in the balconies while the youngsters reveled downstairs on a night was not without other sorts of bigness, in terms of guests and spectacle.

Prof: If I can justify it and be smart enough, I can say anything
The tone of Prof's warmup act, Mod Sun, was very Warped Tour. (And, appropriately, the Bloomington native is a vet of the yearly summer punk extravaganza.) With a mix of island positivity, party mischief, a little rap, and a little reggae, this is the music for kids conceived right around the time Sublime's Bradley Nowell died. Sun, aka Derek Smith, has a long mane of hair and is more than slightly reminiscent of surfboard champ Shaun White, and even has a song named after him. While the guy, who has attained a strong fan base nationally, is heavy on concepts that might give a jaded adult pause ("My favorite color is tie-dye"), his self-proclaimed "hippy hop" had that infectious grease to keep kids in motion.

By the time Prof reached the stage, the room was thundering with chants of "GAMPO!" As confetti streamed down for the first of several times, the towel-waving rapper launched into "Me Boi." Though he was geared up to move, a knee brace peeked out below his baggy shorts from time to time, and was a reminder that surgery awaited him soon after this final show of several strings of live dates over the past two years. "This is my finish line," he told us. "I'm beat the fuck up."
For "Gampo," Prof's hype man/Ed McMahon DJ Fundo really got into the act, and got the whole room's hands waving. The night proceeded with a mix of X-rated banter followed by some sort of "Oops, we're not actually telling you to [insert something illegal or explicit] because this is an all-ages show" and a tour of Prof's increasingly widening catalog.
St. Paul Slim jumped onstage to muscle through "Horses in the Ghetto" from their 2009 collaboration Recession Music, and then Prof went back in time even further for the "old heads" in the room. Compared to the trap music and EDM that inspires a lot of current Prof material, 2008's "Push (Mind on My Money)" is a rare moment of twisted boom-bap that had this particular old head thinking about some Redman and Onyx tracks. The chanted chorus of "push" went over well with the irrepressible audience, but Prof insisted at the end that it would be the "last time I ever perform that song."

Following a mic stand-stroking bust through "Lucky," Fundo dropped Jim Jones's "We Fly High" for a few bars to really froth up the crowd. And then he and Prof turned a hard left with "Baby Jacob," the most earnest of songs from the night. Sharing vocal duties, the guys belted that "Finally freeeeeee" like they were at the peak of a mountain. Then, as a reward for hearing out the serious stuff, the people on the floor got to drink the nectar of the bass via room-rumbling "Borrowed Time."
Next came a ribald tale of how amazing it is to be sexually gratified for 15 minutes behind a Dumpster in the First Avenue parking lot, and another singing interlude with Prof testing is vocal cords for the intro from R. Kelly's 19-year-old (!) "Bump n' Grind" before "Rules." Soon after, the thing that you probably already saw on Instagram happened. They launched into the unstoppable "Moron" and Prof got inside a giant hamster ball, a la the Flaming Lips' Wayne Coyne. As he rolled triumphantly through the crowd while Lazerbeak's catchy beat ran and ran, it was definitely a moment to consider if Prof was trying to show us how he feels about the pace he's been working at during the past two year. (The old heads in the crowd were probably just cringing and hoping his knee didn't tear in two.) Not to let the intensity wane, P.O.S crept out in a tie-dyed Mod Sun shirt to bang through "Broadcasting."

A little later on, Prof took a break from his dirty jokes. "I want to thank you for supporting independent music that's not on the radio," he said, and his dimples showed as he grinned. What followed were two compositions that he likely thought deserved to make it on the radio, the confessional "Myself," and the inspirational "On My Way." For the latter, the room was a sea of hands in the air, and he remarked at the end that this was the best show he had ever experienced.
"The show ends when I break my knee off," Prof yelled after a brief break offstage. As he belted through the Blackstreet-recalling "Need Your Love," it felt like the whole room went through puberty together, and then the evening capped with "President," which was introduced as the most aggressive song he's ever made. After some stage-diving into the welcoming arms of the crowd for both Prof and Fundo, there were trophies and a sash awaiting the rapper onstage. As "We Are the Champions" played, a brief mock ceremony closed out the night. Even if you never can be too big, this was big enough to impress.
Critic's Notebook
Personal Bias: Lighten up, people.
The Crowd: Not old enough to know better. Possibly the youngest Prof fan of them all. Aww.
Random Notebook Dump: To misquote Danny Glover, I hope I'm never getting too old for this shit.

A Mustang driver tried to outrun a pursuing Sonoma County sheriff's deputy early Wednesday, reaching up to 110 mph on Stony Point Road and weaving around morning commute traffic, according to a Sonoma County sheriff's official.
The chase ended in northern Petaluma with Petaluma police arresting two men in the car at gunpoint.
Deputies early Wednesday were looking for a red car after a southern Santa Rosa resident called 911 at about 6:40 a.m. to say he'd just found two men attempting to break into his garage, said sheriff's Lt. Steve Brown.
The Sunland Avenue resident said he confronted the men and they left. He gave a description of them and their car.
At about 7:35 a.m., a deputy patrolling in the area spotted a red Ford Mustang, which was a possible match, said Brown.
The deputy attempted to pull over the driver - who instead sped down Stony Point Road.
The Mustang continued south past Rohnert Park and headed for Petaluma with one deputy in pursuit.
The deputy reported the suspect driver speeding at about 85-90 mph in multiple spots, including through the Stony Point and Roblar road intersection, said Brown.
South of that the Mustang's speed increased, reaching 110 mph, according to reports. And at times the muscle car was passing slower vehicles on the shoulder.
With the chase heading into Petaluma, officers there were asked to help.
Five Petaluma officers responded, setting up near the intersection of Stony Point Road and Petaluma Boulevard North.
They put out a spike strip, hoping to pop the car's tires and end the chase.
But the driver skirted the strip and turned into a nearby dirt lot, said Petaluma police Lt. Tim Lyons.
A Petaluma officer, using his patrol car, also went into the lot and hit the back of the suspect car, causing the driver to lose control and stop, said Lyons.
As the car stopped the officers ordered the pair out at gunpoint.
Several deputies joined the arrest and the two were taken into custody on suspicion of evading officers and attempted burglary, said Brown.
Detectives still were investigating Wednesday afternoon and further details, including their names, weren't released.

More deep cleaning was planned overnight Monday at Vancouver's Walnut Grove Elementary School as a stubborn bug that causes nausea, vomiting and diarrhea continued to cause absenteeism. Meanwhile, an outbreak at Hockinson Elementary School might be contained.
Dozens of students were out sick Monday at Walnut Grove Elementary, where the gastroenteritis struck last week.
On Friday, 133 Walnut Grove students stayed home from school or were sent away early. On Monday, the school reported 88 absences, with about 60 of those likely due to gastroenteritis.
Gastroenteritis viruses are well-known for quickly spreading through schools, nursing homes, cruise ships and other crowded places.
Also on Friday, 50 students at Hockinson Elementary School in Brush Prairie stayed home or left school early with the same symptoms.
"Many members of our staff worked over the weekend to thoroughly clean and disinfect the elementary school based on the recommendations of the Clark County Public Health Department," said Laurie Lemieux, a spokeswoman for the Hockinson School District.
Hockinson had no new reports of illnesses Monday, said Theresa Cross, a health educator with Clark County Public Health. The department sent a letter to each of the schools recommending a temporary closure for deep cleaning.
The outbreaks come less than three weeks after a similar situation at Columbia Valley Elementary in the Evergreen district that left about 40 students and staff out sick with symptoms of gastroenteritis.
Custodial crews cleaned restrooms, tabletops, doorknobs and other surfaces throughout the school. But the virus continued to spread the following day, leading Columbia Valley to shut down for a weekend for another cleaning.
In all, this past week's outbreak at Walnut Grove hit nearly 18 percent of its students. Schools are required to report to the health department when at least 10 percent of the student body is absent.
Vancouver Public Schools sent an extra cleaning crew to Walnut Grove over the weekend and the school was to undergo another round of cleaning Monday night, district spokeswoman Pat Mattison said. Many of Monday's absences at the school are students who were ill on Friday or their siblings, Mattison said.
The health department sent the same letter to each of the schools, recommending thorough and frequent hand washing. Parents are encouraged to monitor their children's health and keep them home for 48 hours if they have any symptoms of the virus.

Additional Information
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Gina - Thank you so much for Elsie's new nail polish! She loves being pampered!
I will email a photo of her w/ her new pedicure.
james - Great price! Pet safe is a plus. But a pearl ba_x_se paint doesn't show well when your dog has black nails. If your dog has white nails it's great. You need a flat ba_x_se paint for a dog that has black nails!
Jessica Lane - I will definately be buying more of this polish. The colors are very true to the color chart. The polish is a little bit thinner than I expected and really requires 2 coats to really bring the color out. Dries very fast and lasts a while on the nails.

Sungai Lembing Travel Guide: 36 reviews and 157 photos
Sg Lembing once known as the El-Dorado of the East of Malaya because of the presence of a British community in the Kenau River Valley.
The tin mining activities created this town about 100 years ago and made it famous because of its underground tin mine which is the largest of its kind in the word.
The closure of the tin mine in 1986, one year after the fall in the price of tin ore changed the atmosphere of Sg Lembing from a busy town into a sleepy hollow.
(Source: Sg Lembing Museum)
A must-do activity when you visit to Sg Lembing.
It attracts tons of people visit here during weekend, to avoid crowds and easier accommodation booking, please visit in weekdays.
The trail take times approx 1 hour, but if you're a good 'stair-climber', you might reach the top in 30mins.
It's about luck to viewing the sunrise, I miss it cause the clouds was too thick...
You can visit the Charas Caves, Sg Pandan Waterfall, Rainbow Waterfall, Deer Park, Sg Lembing Museum, Tin Mine site, Crystal House (only open on weekends).
Rainbow Waterfall - you might need hire a guide to bring you there, the rainbow will appear when the sun rise to the specific angle in the morning.
- Pros:Beautiful scenes & fresh air, suitable for a 2 days getaway.
- Cons:The townies not friendly enough, except the inn I recommended...

Rated 4.1 out of 5�by 387 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5�by Petunia42 Light for a cover-up for Summer Very comfortable and perfect for the dress I bought from Blair. May 21, 2016
Rated 3 out of 5�by Kaysie40 Cute! It's a cute little sweater, just what I wanted, although I've not worn it yet. It seems to be made well, but very thin material. Price was right (on sale) too. May 20, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by earth68angel like the color - good quality Good price - website offers a lot of colors- more than most of the catalogs. May 18, 2016
Rated 2 out of 5�by Sunny67 Ribbing doesn't lay right I had been looking at this product for sometime and finely bought it. I was quite disappointed in it. The ribbing around the edge ripples like it is either stretched out or too big for the area and it was gathered in. Perhaps it was just the construction of this particular item but I don't think I will ever wear it. I won't send it back because I got a killer deal on it and what they charge for restocking (shipping) wouldn't make it worth it. May 16, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5�by jazzyjoyce Nice shrug. Nice color blue, but didn't feel it was true to catalog color. Doesn't go well with what I purchased it for, but will go with other outfits, so I am not returning it. The sale price was GOOD! May 13, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by Coronagirl Brilliant color and perfect fit This casual sweater is so nice. The knit is sturdy, the fit is perfect and the color matches other items that I have ordered from Blair. May 12, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by Cynti Striking! Absolutely love these shrugs and had purchased 3. Washed up perfectly with no wrinkling, keeping shape. Highly recommend as they do take the dresses from being a casual around the house type to a going out outfit. May 7, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by ma52 will go with so much I would recommend this to go with sleeveless dresses. Wish I had gotten other colors. April 6, 2016

Protecting Orange Saplings from Irreparable Frost Damage

Nocturnal frost and freeze damage can have a major impact on the survival and fruit production of young citrus trees. When temperatures fall below -4oC irreparable damage occurs. Because of this damage, many methods, including insulating sapling trunks and building soil banks have been used to help reduce the rate at which these trees lose heat in sub-zero conditions. This study focused on the effect a combined insulation-and-metal-stake method has on preventing frost and freeze damage of Washington Navel Orange saplings by looking at increase in trunk temperature using this system and comparing it to trunk temperatures in both an insulation only system and a bare tree system. It was found that the rod had little effect on trunk warmth but trunk insulation helped significantly ? the thicker and denser the insulation, the better.

Unanswered: screen grayed out after submit... hidden waitmsg?
I was customising a piece of code someone else wrote, causing the form to basically load the data into another panel and switch to it, and this appears to work fine in every respect except that the screen is grayed out when i finally get there... my guess is that the wait message is still displayed or extant someone, and keeping the screen grayed out.
Has anyone ran into this before, can they confirm it? If it is, what do i run to tell the waitmsg it's job is done? and if it's not what, would you recommend i should check to track this down?
var form = Ext.getCmp('jobFindPanel').getForm(); if(form.isValid()) form.submit({ waitMsg:'Loading...', url: 'data/searchjobs.php', success: function(form,action) { if (action.result.success == "true"){ var data = action.result.data; var metadata = action.result.rows; report = Ext.create('MyApp.view.jobReport'); report.displayJobList(data, metadata); centerRegion = Ext.getCmp('centerPanel'); centerRegion.removeAll(); centerRegion.add(report); }else{ Ext.MessageBox.alert('Processing Error',action.msg); } }, failure: function(form,action){ Ext.MessageBox.alert('Access Error',action.msg); } });

Arsenal Message Board
Nuff Said - Arsenal - Next Generation
Ten years after being greeted by the headline "Arsene who?", Arsenal's hugely successful manager Arsene Wenger will certainly be able to savour the milestone which awaits him on Thursday.
Unknown in north London before his arrival on September 28 1996, the 56-year-old son of an Alsace restaurateur can look back on a decade that has brought his club three Premier League titles, four FA Cups and an historic unbeaten season in 2003-04.
The Frenchman has transformed Arsenal in terms of the football they play and, off the pitch, has been a driving force behind their modern training complex and the new 60,000-seater Emirates Stadium.
Bespectacled, urbane and looking very much the French intellectual on his arrival after two years in Japan, Wenger wasted little time ringing the changes from Bruce Rioch's reign.
His attention to detail in terms of players' diet, fitness regime and lifestyle went well beyond simply banning chocolate bars in his first week in charge. His approach set new standards for the English game, let alone for Arsenal, whose then captain Tony Adams subsequently admitted to being an alcoholic.
Wenger took Adams's disclosures in his stride, standing by the player and going on to build a side that combined a vastly experienced defence with real flair going forward.
Arsenal gradually evolved into a side of fluid passing and movement, inspired by some shrewd moves on the transfer market that were topped by the signing of Thierry Henry from Juventus in 1999.
Going nowhere during a short spell in Turin, Wenger signed Henry as a left winger and promptly converted him into one of the deadliest centre forwards of his generation and the Premier League's top scorer in four of the last five seasons.
Dutch forward Dennis Bergkamp, already signed by Rioch, was able to flourish in a 'French revolution' which put a premium on individual technique, while the grit came from Patrick Vieira, signed at Wenger's request before he had even arrived.
Striker Nicolas Anelka provided the goals before leaving in 1999 for Real Madrid, who paid more than 22 million pounds ($41.86 million) for a player who had cost only 500,000 pounds two years previously.
Wenger's ability on the training pitch and in the transfer market paid dividends in his first full season, 1998, when Arsenal won the league and FA Cup Double -- a feat they went on to repeat in 2002.
They added two more FA Cups in 2003 and 2005, along with that unbeaten league title in 2004 -- English football's first since Preston's "Invincibles" in the inaugural 1888-89 season.

Morning Steve,
I've only just been able to read your post. Absolutely bang on the button.
A.W. must be every football clubs board of directors dream, loyal, no controversy, astute money management, great relationship with the players etc, etc, but still stands no nonense from anybody, but above all projects an image that everybody wants to see, good manners and complete professionalism in a professional world.
My only worry is that he has said that he dosen't think he will be here in 10 years time!!!
It also proves just how astute Arsenal have been in their selection of key people. A.W. and the great D.B.10 probably the two individuals that have influenced the E.P.L. the most, the trust shown by buying P. Viera ahead of his appointment on his advice.
We really are, in my opinion, so very very lucky to be supporters of such a great club.

Cotton Bowl: Getting to know Kevin Sumlin's Texas A&M staff
In his first season as Texas A&M's head coach, Kevin Sumlin has coached the Aggies to a 10-2 record, the No. 9 national ranking and a Cotton Bowl berth against OU.
What kind of coaching staff helped Sumlin stage such a remarkable success story in A&M's maiden season in the Southeastern Conference? Here are five questions that shed some light on the staff that OU will oppose in the Cotton Bowl.
Who will replace offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury, the new head coach at Texas Tech, for the Cotton Bowl?
Running backs coach Clarence McKinney. Sumlin will hire a permanent replacement later. But for now, McKinney will coordinate the Aggie offense. Receivers coach David Beaty will coach the quarterbacks. McKinney was head coach at Houston Yates High School from 2005-07, then joined Sumlin's Houston U. staff.
What is the background of A&M defensive coordinator Mark Snyder?
Snyder grew up in Ironton, Ohio and went to Marshall University. Snyder coached at Central Florida for two seasons, then joined Jim Tressel's staff at Youngstown State. Snyder eventually spent 10 years with Tressel, the final four at Ohio State, including defensive coordinator in 2004.
Snyder became Marshall's head coach in 2005, and in five years went 22-37. Snyder spent the past two seasons as defensive coordinator at South Florida.
What two A&M staff members are sons of longtime NFL men?
Special teams coordinator Brian Polian is the son of former Colts general manager Bill Polian, and graduate assistant coach Klint Kubiak is the son of Houston Texans coach Gary Kubiak.
Brian Polian, 38, was special teams coordinator at Stanford the previous two seasons and at Notre Dame the two years before that. He's also coached at Central Florida, Buffalo U.
Klint Kubiak is in his third year as an A&M graduate assistant. He played at Colorado State.
How many staff members followed Sumlin from the University of Houston?
Five. McKinney, offensive line coach B.J. Anderson, strength and conditioning coach Larry Jackson, associate athletic director Justin Moore and recruiting director Kenny Bell worked for Sumlin in Houston and followed him to A&M.
How much Southeastern Conference experience did Sumlin's staff have?
Very little, outside of defensive line coach Terry Price. Price coached at Ole Miss 1995-98 and 2009-11, and at Auburn 1999-08.

Tunnels R Us, Seattle ... now more than ever.
WELDING TORCHES flare, and sparks shower deep inside this tunnel, 30 stories under Lake Forest Park.
Up top, few people know about, much less appreciate, the work going on down here. To hear our local pols discuss construction of the Alaskan Way Viaduct Replacement Tunnel, you'd think we'd never done this before. Somehow, what was lost in much of the public discussion getting to "yes" on that project was this: Tunnels R Us, Seattle. And they have been, for more than 100 years.
Now, and for about the next five years, Seattle will be in the middle of an unprecedented tunneling boom, from the behemoth viaduct-replacement project to three tunnels being dug to carry Sound Transit users to Capitol Hill and the University District. More than 250 workers are already on the job — 150 mining two tunnels from the University of Washington to Capitol Hill, 107 more working to bore a tunnel from Capitol Hill to downtown. And many more are coming.

Most Read Stories
This is good news. For while process is the coin of the realm in Seattle above ground, rate of advance is the gold underground, and it's measured by the hour. The underground trade may be Seattle's last bastion of active verbs: Mine it, fill it, drain it, freeze it, grout it, grind it, split it or just plain blow it up. Whatever's in the way of a tunnel alignment, once the crews get going, it probably won't be for long.
In a world where most work is done with a keyboard and dispersed into electronic ether, their work is refreshingly real, lasting, utilitarian. Workers seem also to share a frontier can-do spirit. Masters of a subterranean universe, not for nothing is their line of work called heavy civil: a good name for a grunge band, or a workforce that stops at pretty much nothing.
Hostile work environment? This is a place so alien there is a vocabulary particular to the array of hazards involved: Slickensided clay, raveling sands, perched water tables, glaciomarine drift, shear zones and voids — gaps the size of a small house where chunks of glacial ice melted eons ago. Then there are the prehistoric buried forests, boulder fields and pockets of methane gas.
While Seattle is the extreme-sport version of the tunneling industry, mostly, it's just our ornery nature, what the experts politely call our geologic context. Shoved here from Canada and dropped by the glaciers some 10,000 years ago, the soils that tunnelers confront here are full of the boulders hard enough to survive the trip. We are talking igneous, metamorphic and granitic brutes facing off rock crushers and boring machines tricked out with disc cutters, rock rippers, carbide-tipped steel teeth, the works.
The inconsistency of Seattle's glacial till is also infamous, with material changing from hardpan to gravelly soil to boulders to shifting sands without warning from foot to foot.
"If you go to the Midwest, the layers might go for miles," says Red Robinson wistfully. Senior vice president of Shannon & Wilson Inc., one of the biggest tunnel geotechnical and environmental consulting firms in Seattle, he is a battle-tested vet whose job is determining, as well as possible, what will be encountered on a tunneling job. Not just soils, either: Seattle's buried past also lurks underground: riprap-armored, buried shorelines; abandoned well casings; snapped steel cable from logging mills; mishmashes of fill in long-forgotten, man-made embankments.
Through it all, Robinson helped lead the work on the Mount Baker Ridge Tunnel, and he savors to this day bringing a novel construction technique to completing the tunnel on time and under budget in 1986.
But then, many of the biggest advances in tunnel construction — from the machines that gnaw through the earth to projects bigger and more complex than ever built before — that's Seattle. Robinson has mapped our history of tunneling, and counts more than 100 tunnels under the city, more than 40 miles' worth in all, built since 1890.
One, the Downtown Transit Tunnel, was the first tunnel for buses ever built to be used by rail, too — and it crosses alignment not once but twice, with the double-track railroad tunnel along the waterfront, twining both under and over it with just 5 and 15 feet of clearance, respectively.
No wonder the tunnel tribe here — the workers, engineers, designers, geotechs and construction managers — is known around the world for its innovation, expertise and sheer bench strength. "Seattle Renews its Large Diameter Legacy," noted one of the leading trade journals last spring of the city's commitment to build the Alaskan Way tunnel, which, at 58 feet in outside diameter, likely will be the largest tunnel of its type in the world.
The Mount Baker Ridge Tunnel we zip through on Interstate 90 to get to the Lake Washington floating bridge is still the largest tunnel in soil (as opposed to hard rock) in the world.
The Great Northern railroad tunnel along the waterfront the bus tunnel twines around? That tunnel, completed in 1904, was excavated by more than 350 men with pickaxes, shovels and wheelbarrows. The highest and widest tunnel in the U.S. of its time, the tunnel, having shrugged off at least four big earthquakes, is still in use.
The tunnel drilled into the rock at Snoqualmie Falls houses the world's first underground hydroelectric project, a pioneering feat completed in 1898. It, too, is still in use.
PROVIDING ALL-WEATHER, reliable, energy-efficient conveyance, tunnels in Seattle today remain an option for everything from buses to sewage.
But why Seattle's tunnel affinity? The answer is as old as our topography.
Rising from tideflats to a series of north-south ridges, Seattle's terrain has been a challenge since the Denny Party beached.
Ever notice those purple glass squares in the sidewalk in Pioneer Square? Those are not art installations but skylights into the now largely abandoned underground of the old downtown Seattle. That underground today is covered with the streets and sidewalks built after the Great Fire leveled 25 blocks of the city in 1889.
A great chance, it turned out, for a do-over. Today's street level is actually at the second-story level of the city's oldest buildings, whose feet reside in the unseen netherworld of the city's abandoned first draft. It was just the first in a series of monumental razing, grading, filling, replumbing and tunneling projects undertaken in our obsession to remake the lay of the land.
Tunnels enable us to get around without the bother of going over or around terrain that even after our regrading bender still rises some 300 feet above Puget Sound. And — as with the viaduct-replacement tunnel — tunnels put the utilitarian stuff out of sight, saving aboveground for pretty things, such as waterfront views. Tunnels also put gravity to work, using hills to move water and sewage in pipelines to provide and preserve clean water, a very old Seattle priority.
Those workers on the Brightwater sewage-plant tunnels? Their predecessors built the first tunnels in Seattle beginning in the 1890s. Spurred by a cholera outbreak in San Francisco caused by sewage-contaminated water, those first tunnels were built to carry sewage — untreated, back then — to Puget Sound.
The workers labored using donkeys, picks and shovels, with candles for lighting; mule- or horse-driven fans provided ventilation. Men worked in street clothes and felt hats, hand-shoveling muck and laying temporary wood supports followed with brick lining.
The death toll to build those first tunnels was terrible — losses of at least one man per mile were simply expected.
Those old but still-functioning tunnels, and water pipes bored through wood timbers, were the beginning of a modern, clean-water infrastructure that remains under construction, in the 13 miles of conveyance system for the Brightwater plant from the suburbs of Woodinville to the Sound.
Transportation has been the city's other big impetus for tunnels. The Great Northern tunnel, owned by the BNSF and used for freight as well as Amtrak and Sound Transit Sounder trains, was built right along the waterfront with, shall we say, aplomb unimaginable today. Engineer John F. Stevens recollects in his memoirs directing railroad boss James J. Hill to "secure, under cover, by purchase or option," the lands through downtown Seattle he figured would be needed for the job, and assuring him, "I would go to Seattle and assist with the matter of getting the ordinance (to build the tunnel) which I did . . . We secured the ordinance without much difficulty."
DESPITE LAYERS of Seattle process accreting for better and for worse ever since, we haven't stopped tunneling or innovating. The Robbins Company in Kent was in 1952 the birthplace of the world's first machine of its type, a rock-tunnel-boring machine that could, with a giant, rotating disc fitted with cutter heads, rip through the earth like a T-Rex.
The cutter head of the machine that will dig the Alaskan Way tunnel will be more than five stories high and custom-made for the job, as most tunnel-boring machines are. A mobile, underground factory, it will cruise through the ground like a computer-guided, hydraulic-jack-powered submarine, mining earth, crushing rock, ejecting grout and other soil conditioners from the cutter head to ease passage of the machine through the soil, then slurrying muck mined from the hole out the back.
When, along the way, things get stuck, go sideways, dive, jam or literally grind to a halt, that just makes it more interesting for guys like Greg Hauser.
A construction manager for Jay Dee/Coluccio JV who was hired by King County when another contractor's tunnel-boring machine jammed up on the Brightwater project, Hauser and his team rescued the job by boring in, finding the machine spot on and cutting it up with a torch.
"Things are going to happen, and when they do, we handle it," says Hauser, a career-long tunnel rat who looks like he should be leading a cattle drive.
From the Supercollider in Texas, to sewage tunnels from Chicago to Washington, D.C., Boston and Seattle, he's worked all over the country, maintaining a focused mission statement: "You find out as much as you can about something, you plan it well and get on with it. They want a tunnel from here to there, and you are going to make it for them."
The tunnel, he notes as he marches down it with the second-shift workers, is a beauty: clean, dry, straight. Too bad, he notes, few will appreciate their work. "They make calendars with pictures of bridges," he says ruefully. ". . . This gets filled with shit, and no one ever sees it."
THOUGH THEY labor sight unseen, the workers' pride down here is real. With four years on the job, laborer Willie Bullard didn't mind confessing that at first he got the creeps working underground. "I always think, 'What's going to happen?' But my boss keeps saying: 'Nothing is going to happen to you.' So it's a scary thing. But it's a good thing.' " Like all tunnel workers, he wears a small brass disc with his number on it when he goes underground, leaving a second disc with his number hung on a board at the entrance to the tunnel when he's on the job, moved to the active, at-work side of the board.
That way, if anything happens, everyone knows who's underground. It's an old practice — as are many of the ways of this very traditional business, where till, hard rock or mud is all called muck and the workplace is Down in The Hole.
For many here, tunnel work is what's fed their families for generations, a proud, unionized trade they learned from fathers, uncles, grandfathers. The money is good: Often paying six figures, the underground trade may be one of the last places in Seattle a hard worker with a high-school education can own a house and support a family before age 40.
"Keeps you out of the rain!" cracks Mick McMackin of his job in the Brightwater tunnel. An electrician here, he likes the work because it's consistent, different and busy. "And you make a tunnel, it's going to be there."
Shift foreman Edgar Valles of Everett said over the roar of fans and torches that it was his uncle who first started taking him underground. "Ever since I was a little kid, I wanted to do this work, it was something different from all the other jobs up top."
Hauser squeezes himself through a port in the cutter head of the tunnel-boring machine, all that's left of the tons of steel, hydraulics and electronics the workers cut up after the machine completed its bore-through from Point Wells.
It's interesting to see, after some 30 years of work underground, how instinctively careful Hauser is down here, checking with a gas meter the oxygen level of the tunnel on the far side of the machine's cutter head, where the lighting and ventilation systems have already been removed, and the tunnel recedes into spooky blackness miles away.
Against the darkening distance, his living breath is white, wispy, vulnerable.
"Dragon's teeth," he says, passing a gloved hand over the worn rippers on the cutter head of the machine his team steered to its exact meeting place, head to head with the other section of tunnel they were tasked with completing.
"It's amazing, what we did here," Hauser says. And it is: boring in, to dock one gigantic tunnel-boring machine against another without an inch of tolerance to miss the target. "We were able to move in here from 31,000 feet and come right to it. Dead nuts right where we wanted.
"That's the way we do things."

Right in the heart of Hong Kong, Wan Chai is renowned for its red light district but behind this reputation is an area full of culturally interesting things to do. Our Wan Chai hotels will keep you in the thick of the action while also offering excellent access to public transport to travel around the island.Read More
Wan Chai is typical bustling Hong Kong with tall buildings and neon soaked streets and it certainly doesn't lack any character. The intersection of Jaffe Road, Lockhart Road and Luard Road is where the nightlife gets going and this area is littered with bars, shopping and the red lights already mentioned. For American sailors on shore leave this intersection is home but for those of you looking for something different in Wan Chai there is plenty more to see. Nearby Victoria Peak offers stunning views across the futuristic Hong Kong landscape from 1800 feet up. The tram up to the top provides a taste of colonial Hong Kong and there are a variety of viewpoints which look equally fantastic during the day and at night. Another major attraction close by to our Wanchai hotels is the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. It was here in 1997 that Great Britain handed over sovereignty of Hong Kong back to the People's Republic of China after a 99 year lease. These days the site is used for business purposes and for huge exhibitions and the building is very useful for any travellers heading to Hong Kong for business. Using your Wan Chai hotel as a base, a family trip to one of the most popular theme parks in the world, Ocean Park Hong Kong, is another great way to spend the day. The charm of Wan Chai lies in its unique mixture of new and old. The buildings maybe getting higher but the character of Hong Kong is retained at street level and for a true Asian metropolis experience this district comes highly recommended.

A walk to remember
Alyssa Holden, 16, Seneca
As a kid, I loved to play in my backyard, pretending I was on an adventure. I imagined myself as a pirate, a
princess, a knight or even just your average explorer searching for new lands. I loved jumping over rocks,
walking over fallen trees, and even tiptoeing through the occasional creek.
I found so many intriguing things in my woods. I discovered what appeared to be the ruins of a small stone building, but which I imagined to be the ruins of a long-forgotten castle. I climbed any tree that had branches low enough for me to reach. I even attempted to build my own clubhouse out of rocks and sticks. Needless to say, I haven't finished it yet.
A couple of years ago, my family discovered a website promoting geocaching. We had ever heard of it before. Upon further research, we finally learned what geocaching was all about. Basically, you plug coordinates into your GPS, and follow the directions to those coordinates. At the end, there would be a cache (a container), camouflaged into its surroundings. Amazing -- it was like an electronic treasure map for grownups. There was even treasure at the end of your hunt, that is, if you could find the treasure chest. This was exactly like the games I played as a kid. I was ecstatic, and very eager to give geocaching a shot.
Our first attempt did not prove to be fruitful. The treasure chest remained unfound, but our voyage through the outdoors was enjoyed by every member of my family.
In the time since that first treasure hunt, my family and I have greatly improved our geocaching skills. Now it's a race to see who can find the cache first. As we became regular geocachers, we were able to find those hidden paths and disguised treasures much more easily.
One time, we got really, really lost. Our first few successes seemed to have gone to our heads, and we tried a more difficult hunt. We ended up wandering around unknown woods for about 1 ½ hours, unsure of even how to get back to the path. We emerged sopping wet from crossing a creek (many times) and cloaked in a
mix of dirt and cobwebs. Now, it's a cause for hysterical laughter among my family.
When we first discovered geocaching, we mostly used it as a different way to get exercise, and have a little fun. Ultimately, there was a lot more to it, and more fun, than we expected. We found all kinds of beautiful nature scenes, everything from a waterfall to a hidden scenic overlook. We found all kinds of campgrounds and little known places to kayak and fish. We learned how many thousands of shades of green are upon the leaves.
But most importantly, we grew closer as a family. Spending time in the outdoors, getting exercise and laughing and chatting the whole way, took us to a much more lasting piece of treasure. So many memories have been born from those long walks in the woods with the whole family, including our dog. We laugh more, talk more and disagree less. Now, I'm not sitting inside bored all day. Instead I'm enjoying quality time with my family
and making lots of new friends along the way.

Chamber Notes: Dinner, golf tourney coming upApril 14,2014
The Masters at Augusta National and the flood of Vermont sunshine have combined to give local golfers the urge to visit tees and greens.
Daydreams of long, straight drives soaring gently out of sight will come to an abrupt end on Friday, May 9, when real drives dribble off the tee or pull violently into the rough, and putts refuse to fall.
The BlueCross BlueShield Chamber Challenge injects a tough dose of reality. The first-of-the-season tournament at the Country Club of Barre, brings the pre-season vision of grandeur to the reality that a long, hard winter has encased the backswing in rust.
With 16 teams registering early and another dozen in the process of checking schedules and foursomes, a large field is anticipated for the 21st annual event.
Northstar Fireworks and Cody Chevrolet are sponsoring registration gifts and the hole-in-one prize. Robert Cody is eager to see someone score an ace and leave with a new Chevy vehicle. Wed be delighted to see a winner, Cody said.
David Swenson said he enjoys the tournament and everyone is a winner.
Its a great excuse to get outdoors, he added.
Last years winning foursome included two of the youngest golfers to ever play the tournament. Cody and Dillon Sleeper carried their father and Bill Patno to victory. It was a great day for brothers as Chad and Clay Bell were part of the Northfield Investments winning low net team, and John and Steve Connor helped Casella capture second low net.
Serious golfers and duffers often bear striking similarities early in the season. Time and rust are great equalizers. Add in some hefty handicaps, a little luck, and anything can happen in the best ball, scramble format.
A little luck can be even more rewarding in the run-up to the golf outing.
On Wednesday, April 23, the Central Vermont Chamber of Commerce will hold its annual dinner and drawing at the Canadian Club. There everyone enjoys a nice meal and plenty of good cheer, but only one person leaves with the grand prize.
Chamber directors and volunteers are selling just 150 tickets to the dinner and drawing. A dozen ticket holders will win $150 to $500, but only one will find the evening worth $4,000.
Honorary Life Member Marion Milne will be the top salesperson for the 32nd time 32 years. She launched the event in 1983 and has been an integral part of its success ever since.
Proceeds enabled the Chamber to accumulate the funds for a down payment on its Berlin office complex and later expansion. The site was named Beaulieu Place for the late Lorraine Beaulieu, a 40-year employee and anchor for the organization following the merger of the Barre and Montpelier chambers of commerce.
Additional information on either event can be obtained by calling the chamber office at 229-5711 or by visiting central-vt.com/golf14.pdf or central-vt.com/raffle14.pdf on the web.

"Burger Boat Co. inc." The World's leader in "quality YACHT constructure",,,,, to launch 127' All Aluminum ($ 8,000,000.00+) Mega Yacht for Charles Wallgreen !!! Using 2 MTW # 2250 Cranes.
I guess it will take some effort for us to reach 22.00 by days end. Would not be suprised to see us hit 21.40 - 21.65 today. Shorts, and there are still a lot out there, may be getting a little concerned. Do not be suprised if you see a brokerage house raise their price target from the current 23.00 range.As I have stated before, the individual investor of MTW is pretty much at the mercy of the institutions. Nevertheless, a person can play this situation to their advantage. If you quess correctly, an investor can "outsmart" the professional traders, who for the most part have a set program for buying and selling. I have stated before that I believe now is a good time to accumalate, as I believe the instiutions will start to return soon in order to cover their shorts and not get left behind when the stock makes a push to 30,s sometine this summer.Best of luck to all and God Bless America.

French: his teacher uses electronic flash cards for vocabulary. Given the student's hands on learning style, I suggested he write out his own flash cards as a better way to learn the material. I also asked him to make flash cards for three irregular verbs which are fundamental (etre, faire, avoir), in order to help him master them better.

The 2003 vehicle, valued at $60,000, was stolen from Dover sometime Monday night. The rig was empty.
�They went to bed, woke up and it was gone,� Sgt. Daniel Garden said.
Garden said the vehicle was recovered � abandoned � in Alabama, but the thief is still unknown.
Still images of the thief from surveillance video at a gas station in Goldsboro has been released. While it is doubtul the man is in the area, Garden said, he is hopeful that someone will recognize him and notify the deputies.
�At least give us someone to talk to,� he said. �Right now we�ve got nothing to go on.�
He said the driver almost certainly carried a CDL Class A license to have known how to drive the truck that far.
�Your average person can�t drive that thing,� he said.

Comments about e.l.f. Brush Collection, 11 piece, 1 set:
The brush is overall pretty good. It feels soft on skin and doesn't come apart. I only find one brush to be a problem (C-something for eyeshadows). The brush doesn't apply eyeshadows smoothly and I get blotches but other than that one brush, all others are perfectly fine. Don't like the case that comes with it but I didn't buy the brushes for the case so whatever. Overall, worth buying.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
