A piece of land known as the Whispering Ridge Aquatic Management Area (AMA), which is now owned by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR), is an area open to recreational opportunities.Whether one is a hunter, fisherman or a naturalist, there is plenty to see and do in this historic and scenic ground in the Minnesota River Valley.What makes the AMA unique is a horse trail loop that runs through a portion of the land allowing those who ride to enjoy the flora and fauna that makes up Whispering Ridge.The horse trail is unique in that on a typical AMA piece of land horse trails are not part of the equation because of existing rules within the DNR.In an effort to demonstrate just how a horse trail can be an element of an AMA or other similar areas, local horse enthusiasts gathered together this past Tuesday to host a trail ride.They invited DNR officials from various agencies to come along for that ride and to see firsthand just how landscape in a piece of state owned land can be shared by everyone.Several of those leaders visited the site and experienced trail riding, fishing and hiking in the AMA.The trails, which were groomed over the past several months by people like Marv Breitkreutz, have been used by local horse riders for years."They were old cattle paths," said Breitkreutz, adding the cattle farmers in the area would allow the animals to move along in the area as they went from pasture to pasture.While local leaders helped to put the event together they received significant support from a major horse group known as the Minnesota Trail Riders Association (MTRA), and many of its members were on hand to help promote the area. Among the riders was Irv Parker, who is the current president of the MTRA."This is my first time here," said Parker early Tuesday morning as he readied he and his wife's animals for the ride. "It seems to be a good place."Parker said the goal of MTRA in attending these kinds of events is to be an advocate for trails in the state. Currently, Parker said, there are more than 1,000 miles of trail in the state which are publicly owned."When the people who opened up this area came they weren't riding bicycle,"?added Parker after taking part in the ride. "What we want is for more people to see what we see on the back of a horse."DNR representatives from various departments were on hand, and they were able to see on the back of a horse or by way of a hike along the trail to get a view of what Whispering Ridge has to offer from the granite rock outcroppings to unique vegetation."This was a real treat and a good education," said Dennis Frederickson, who serves as the south region director of the DNR. "An event like this offers a chance for us to talk about trails and to experience them."Frederickson said the value of an area like Whispering Ridge is that it offers an opportunity for all areas of recreation to be knit together.For that kind of co-existence to occur rules are going to have to be changed at the legislative level, and it appears from the conversations held at the Tuesday event there are leaders within the DNR who are willing to look into how that would work.According to Loran Kaardal of Green Corridor, Inc., which helped take Whispering Ridge AMA?from privately owned land to a place for the public to enjoy, discussions are taking place at the state level with the idea to create a new land use concept called the conservation recreation area which would allow for multi-use opportunities on public land."They (the DNR) have heard our voice,"?said Kaardal, "and it seems like they are willing to work with groups to create language that would lead to a sharing of the landscape."Hearing that message certainly is a change from recent DNR positions, and local leaders believe it is a change in the right direction.

Blackout Shades & Blinds
- Best choice for complete darkness
- Blocks 99% of incoming light
- Great for bedrooms and home theaters
- Tight-fitting inside mounts block the most light
- Many styles to darken your space
Blackout shades and blinds block nearly all incoming light with cellular shade, roman shade, roller shade, woven wood, pleated shade, panel track and skylight choices. Although sometimes called Blackout Blinds, a light blocking blackout effect is best achieved with shades, as they block the most light with a tight-fitting inside-mounted opaque shade. Blackout Shades eliminate maximum light seepage with specially woven material or with the addition of a liner to create a darker space than the subtler Room Darkening Shades. Custom blackout blinds provide the darkest blackout experience available.

I changed things up bit this month, but here it is! Instead of a weekly roundup, here's a monthly roundup of some of the more odd things I heard on the Lubbock police and ambulance scanners throughout October.
Some are funny, others are sad, but they all did one thing — catch my attention.
Alternet.org asked an interesting question yesterday. "Why Do the Police Have Tanks? The Strange and Dangerous Militarization of of the US Police Force." I know about the 'war on drugs' and the 'war on terror' but are SWAT teams and armored personel carriers really necessary?
Thanks to Kenny Ketner for pointing this Apple privacy invasion out to me. TalkingPointsMemo reports that Apple iPhones and iPads are tracking every move we make (if we own one). I would assume iPod Touches are also guilty. Sam Biddle, the author, has a map on the article showing everywhere he's been for the last six months.
Yesterday ComputerWorld.com reported that the FTC is investigating whether copier makers are adequately educating buyers about the privacy risks of copier hard drives and providing means to mitigate those risks. The investigation was requested by Rep. Ed Markey (D-Mass). The request came after a report on copier privacy breaches about two months ago by CBS News.

Add to MyFriends
Bio and Links
My name is Rita June Collvins Mayfield. I was born February 20, 1942 in Jackson County, Oklahoma. I married Vernon Roy Mayfield on April 16, 1971. My primary hobbies are gardening, oil painting, genealogy and of course cemeteries. There is something comforting about strolling through the cemetery and reading the stones. I have recently moved to Cordell, Oklahoma, but have lived in Oklahoma most of my life. Once an Okie, always an Okie. I am slowly trying to get all my family memorialized here. My virtual cemeteries represent my family, unless otherwise noted. I am going to make them public once again, and hope I can leave them without the misuse that occurred previously.
If I have a memorial that is anyone in your family, and is unrelated to me or my husband, I will be glad to hand it over to you as I don't adhere to the 4 generation only guideline, just contact me. I count it a joy and a job well done if I am able to pass on your loved one to you. It is my number two reason for doing this, second only to wishing to save all the old and battered stones from being lost forever. If you find errors on any of the information on my memorials, please get in touch with me with corrections. You are welcome to use my tombstone photos on your family files and family trees, just note where you got it.
Please don't post death certificates or census reports in the picture area on my memorials. They don't belong there and are detrimental to the looks of the memorial, plus it takes up room where photos could be placed.

Do you have any information about the photo of Pink John Armstrong (# 15566669) in uniform? He was my great-grandfather. It looks like a WWI uniform, but there are no records of him being a veteran. Was there anything written on the back of the photo or do you have any other information? Thanks!

Thomas Carpenter
Greetings Rita,
I have left an edit on your memorial for Thomas Carpenter, the son of Peter (Hairy Peter) Carpenter. If you look at the dates of the Peter Carpenter that you linked Thomas to, you will see that the dates will not work. The link that you have for his mother is correct. The Revolutionary War Peter (Hairy) Carpenter (Zimmerman) is buried at Old Beaverdam, Gaston County, NC, which was originally Lincoln County, NC.

Enforcement of Implicit Employment Contracts through Unionization
In a world in which employment contracts are incomplete, it is costly for a firm to establish credibility for honoring implicit terms of employment agreements. By monitoring the employment relationships between the firm and its workers, the labor union may provide the workforce with valuable information regarding the firm's adherence to these implicit agreements. Thus, the union provides a signaling mechanism that allows workers to coordinate their actions in order to discipline the firm for a breach of the implicit contract. This mechanism enhances the firm's credibility when forming employment contracts and facilitates increased employment levels. Copyright 2001 by University of Chicago Press.

PREVIEWS: "Daredevil," "Uncanny X-Men," & More Marvel Comics On Sale August 3, 2016
Comic Books
I imagine that Dustin Nguyen's cute, chibi-style drawings of the Batman cast in Batman: Li'l Gotham will weed out the segment of comics readers who truly don't care for that kind of art. For those who like the style, though – or those who, like me, don't have strong feelings one way or the other about it – the first issue of Li'l Gotham kicks off what promises to be a great all-ages series.
There's a scarcity of DC and Marvel comics that are appropriate for kids, so I'm all for whatever new thing those companies want to try. Nguyen's character designs for Li'l Gotham are so adorable though that when I first saw them, I expected a super-sweet tone that I wasn't sure I'd respond to. I want comics that kids can enjoy, but I don't want them to be slight or to change the characters' personalities beyond all recognition. If Li'l Gotham was just going to be Batman's Precious Moments, I wouldn't be able to stay interested. But that's not at all what it is.
Despite his shortened body and enlarged head, Li'l Gotham's Batman is my Batman: overly serious and unswervingly dedicated to fighting crime. But his rogues gallery isn't as homicidal or destructive as the current, canonized versions of those villains, so Batman's able to be a little more relaxed about how he takes them down. They're still lawbreakers, just not especially deadly ones. For example, Nguyen and co-writer Derek Fridolfs are able to get them together at an Italian restaurant for Halloween without murdering each other.
Things got a little unmanageable with the Hulk comics for a while: We had two Hulks running around, each with his own series (plus Son of Hulk) and I started losing track of the She-Hulks when Jennifer Walters was joined not only by Red She-Hulk, but also Thundra She-Hulk. It was too much and I checked out, even though Jeff Parker was writing some of those comics — and Jeff Parker comics are among my favorites.
In a roundabout way, his writing is why you should be reading Red She-Hulk (not that the gorgeous art by Carlo Pagulayan, Wellington Alves and Val Staples should be ignored), but I'm going to get more specific than that. My point is that I wouldn't blame you for rolling your eyes at Red She-Hulk's having her own series when the real She-Hulk doesn't (not outside of FF anyway). I don't think Parker would either, though. From the way Red She-Hulk is presented in the early issues of the series, it appears that Parker knows he has some work to do in making her a character that readers want to spend time with.
This is something that Red She-Hulk shares with Geoff Johns' Aquaman, but Johns went meta with his story and all but included cameos of himself looking directly at the reader and screaming, "Aquaman doesn't suck!" Parker uses more art. Specifically, he uses Machine Man, aka the Reason You Should Be Reading Red She-Hulk. Stay with me here, because I know Machine Man's not usually much more of a draw than Red She-Hulk is.
Penny Arcade creators Jerry Holkins and Mike Krahulik had a great idea when they came up with Lookouts. If youth scouting existed in fantasy worlds, earning badges would be a lot more dangerous than just making fires and spotting raccoon tracks. It's a clever concept that includes an ensemble cast of diverse characters and an endless supply of situations in which our heroes can find themselves. Getting Ben McCool to join the writing team is also a good thing. But the reason I most look forward to a new issue of Lookouts is the art by Robb Mommaerts and colorist Rainer Petter.
Mommaerts does several things exceedingly well, and he (and Lookouts as a whole) deserve to be talked about more than they are. First are the creature designs. Lookouts puts more thought into creatures than just sticking in a dragon or unicorn every once in a while, and even when the monsters are familiar, their looks are new and refreshing. Take, for instance, the sphinx that serves as the antagonist for most of the first story.
A few months ago, I wrote about how much I was enjoying Jamie S. Rich and Mike Norton's It Girl and the Atomics. I dinged it on characterization, but now that I've had a couple of more issues with the characters, I need to walk that back a little. I still want to know more about It Girl, but Rich and Norton are working on that each month. I was hasty in wanting to know everything about her in the first four issues. Guess that's just how much I dig her.
I'm not here to talk about character development, though; I'm here to talk about fill-in issues, specifically It Girl #6. Fill-in issues are a fact of life with monthly comics, especially these days as artists work more meticulously than they used to. But even back in the day you'd run into an issue where the regular story would take a break while the editor ran something out of his rainy-day files. Now, fill-ins are better planned. And if they're planned well enough, they're just as enjoyable as the main series.
I admit that I wasn't looking forward to It Girl #6. My impatience with getting to know the characters was showing and I didn't want to zoom out into space to see what was up with the drummer of Madman's space band. I wanted the next It Girl adventure, damn it, and Rich and guest-artist Chynna Clugston Flores were going to have to convince me that they weren't wasting my time. If you read the title of this post, you know that they weren't. I loved the issue and here's why.
It's rare that a completely new character is my main reason for reading a comic, but here we are. I was hooked from the moment Matt Fraction and Mike Allred's FF team was announced. I haven't traditionally cared so much about Ant-Man, but She-Hulk has always been one of my favorite characters, and Medusa's powers are so kooky I can't help but dig her. What pushed the comic into my pre-order list, though, was the idea of a woman wearing a Thing costume and calling herself "Miss Thing." And now that I know something about her, I love her even more.
Darla Deering is a pop superstar and Johnny Storm's latest girlfriend. All you really have to know is the last half of that description, because that's how she accidentally ends up a member of the Fantastic Four. In FF #1, the real team is headed out on a journey beyond time and space. and needs stand-ins to oversee the Future Foundation for the four minutes of Earth time they'll be gone. Or longer, if something goes wrong. Reed picks Ant-Man, Sue picks Medusa, and Ben picks She-Hulk. Johnny, of course, completely forgets about the whole thing.

With minor experience in coding, I have managed to create a navbar, and placed it in my header. It is a horizontal list that makes tabs. See code:
if (is_page('ipod-och-itunes'))
echo " id=\"active\"";
?>>/ipod-och-itunes">iPod och iTunes
I assign a ID of "active" if e tab is chosen. So far som good. My challenge is to assign a ID to the sublevel menu. Se sublevel menu is created by the following code:
// subpage has been selected
if ($post->post_parent)
// show children of selected page
$children = wp_list_pages('title_li=&child_of='.$post->post_parent.'&echo=0&depth=1');
// parent page has been selected
// check if there are any child pages
// show children of current parent page
$children = wp_list_pages('title_li=&child_of='.$post->ID.'&echo=0&depth=1');
// if there are subpages, print them
if ($children) {

<?php echo $children ?>

So, how do I assign a ID of 'subactive' to a child if the child exists, and is chosen?
My ambition is to have the sam functionality as the menu in The wallstreet journal, that highlights both the parent and the child, if child is chosen.
To add on to the challenge, it would be nice i I could assign different ID's to children. That is only to be able to adjust the leftmargin to align the submenu directly under the chosen parent/tab.
Any suggestions? Or am I unclear in any way?

I'm getting this message at checkout when using USPS:
"Sorry, online ordering is unavailable to this destination and/or weight. Please double check your destination details."
I've been through the checklist at getshopped.com of why this might happen several times, (shipping is enabled, the category target markets are correct, USPS is set up correctly and I've called USPS and production has been enabled, etc., etc.). It seems no matter what I do...I've made the weight 1 pound (I saw that was a minimum for USPS)....disabled plugins, etc.
I did see one comment that said to make sure products had the correct target markets, but I see no area on individual products to set that....I assume that was a typo or incorrect.
I've seen several posts that talk about entering your USPS ID (which I've done) and password....but the USPS module in WP ecommerce has no field for a USPS password. Is it supposed to?
Anyway, I'm at a loss. Has anyone else had this issue and been able to fix it?

Skip to comments.MILLER: Is this Martin Luther Kings legacy? National Mall covered in garbage
Posted on 08/25/2013 12:44:33 PM PDT by jazusamoEdited on 08/25/2013 1:12:39 PM PDT by Admin Moderator. [history]
The day after thousands rallied to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.s March on Washington, the National Mall looks like a trash dump.
The grass from the Lincoln Memorial to the World War II Memorial is covered Sunday with empty soda cans, water bottles, boxed lunches, newspapers, a broken chair and rally signs. The Reflecting Pool also was filled with trash.
(Excerpt) Read more at washingtontimes.com ...
"Houston, er Washington, we have a problem."
Almost like we have seen this somewhere before...But where? and by who?
Yup. It's a mystery.
Typical of the left. You can guess the politics of any protest or gathering by how much trash they leave behind.
Typical of these people. They crap in their government-subsidized nest and then move on. All you need to do is look at Detroit, Watts, Patterson, Newark. Gary.
The content of their character is crap....
Feral Blacks are also untidy!
His legacy is...his dream will not be realized, and his people are failed.
Folks...what you witnessed yesterday was not Black America!!! You witnessed the Obamabot low life of American society!!! No White folks this time!!! Why? Tuned out to all the Black racists & America haters present!!! Pure Obama dirt...looking for more free handoputs!!!
Coming soon to your neighborhood.
That is exactly how they live their lives.
Why would we expect them to act any differently on one particular day.
The National Trash Heap... They couldn't have done anything that would have made Barack Hussein Obama feel more at home.
Nope. It is the legacy of the race baiters who took over and distorted MLKs message for personal gain.
MLK: content of character over color of skin. That is my hope, too. But that's not where we are at. Not even close.
Yep ... and now they want to diversify your neighborhood with these crappers
Sharpton to clean mall.
He has two people to put most of the blame on. NON REV al NON REV jessie
no mention of crack pipes and other paraphernalia
White (yellow ect) Flight II...The Sequel! Coming soon to a neighborhood near you. As many times as it takes.
Share crappers. I like it.
creating more government union jobs...
Yep. We need another side-by-side of 0's inauguration-8/28-MLK50th...just to keep things in perspective.
They're just showing up Tea partiers, who clean up after ourselves.
Turning the nation's capital into a garbage dump for all to see with no shame, says it all.
You witnessed politically motivated idiots, which I think is one of the reasons turn-out was so low that the media barely dares to show it.
I saw a black family (probably tourists, because I didn't recognize them and it's a small parish) at Mass this morning and I was thinking how hard it is for them to just be normal human beings with all the political manipulation going on now.
Exactly...Things like this is a national disgrace but they could care less.
Yes it is.
Good point.
I was there as well. That was the largest group of people I've ever seen that remained completely classy, respectful, and as you mentioned, left the Mall cleaner than when they arrived.
Typical ghetto manners, like here in Battle Creek, Michigan, is to throw trash, used diapers, fast food containers, out the window of a moving car.
Too eurocentric to use a trash receptacle. Now you wonder why were don't want N-—— in the neighborhood.
Maybe the sign refers to Tom Budet ("we'll leave the light on for you").
I think it's an honest reflection of the left's perspective: it's always someone else's responsibility to clean up the messes they create. In fact it's an "entitlement" or "right" to them.
That's funny because 50 years after Mike King (his legal name) had a dream (scripted by his Communist handlers) the rest of this country's cities look like a trash dumps, too.
It wouldn't improve anything for DC or for the USA, but it would give the Democrats two safe Senate seats, one of them to be held for life by Jesse Jackson, the other by a clone of Jesse Jackson.
After 9/12 Tea Party:
And perhaps a few of Obama sons' murder mug shots...
The first photo in #42 was all over the web.
Did the grass die?
People on the left treat the world and others with contempt - they trash everything they touch..
I saw an apartment right beside a railroad track in Memphis not far from where King was shot. The trash all along the building between it and the tracks had garbage about 4 feet high. It had 5 stories and it was obvious they were throwing their garbage off the balconies. Too lazy to walk down to the garbage dumpster is my conclusion.
The real trash was there yesterday.
I'm sure MLK is rolling in his grave, no matter what you might think about him, I don't believe what is going on now was his intention.
Every city I've been in that has a MLK Street, Blvd,
or Ave...are total cesspools, some of them start out ok, but progressively, almost immediately regress.
For MLK's legacy, as with Christopher Wren - look around you

Hi there, I've searched on Width and found nothing. I've been using WordPress on my own site for nearly a week, and I've stumbled around a few themes, My site at present is at http://www.portsmouthshotokan.com/wordpress and I'm using a theme called Mandigo.
I'm a bit confused about the width of the display. I'm had a look around the themes on WordPress and the 2 column themes seem to all be the same, with a 3rd of the screen being used for borders. I've used tables before in Dreamweaver and normally set them to a % of the screen size so they automatically size to say 85% of the screen width.
What I'd like to do is either edit this theme so that it scales to 85% of the width of the screen so I get more text per line that at current. or use a similar theme that does this, can anyone point me to how I can either achieve this with what I have at present if possible , or does anyone know of a nice two column theme with a sidebar that uses more horizontal space than mine at present. ?
Thanks in advance

The City Council will lose an incredibly eloquent and powerful voice, but hopefully he is able to effect more change outside the Council. I hope he's not solidly closing the door to running for Mayor, but Rep. Steinbrueck would be almost as satisfying.
Consider me confused: he wants to support the Transit & Surface option beginning with giving up the power he has?
What's a Venus Velazquez? Is a drag queen running for City Council?
Chris: Consider me confused: he wants to support the Transit & Surface option beginning with giving up the power he has?
That was my first reaction too. Well, the guy's got to have something up his sleeve, whether it's a mayoral run or not. Hey, maybe he could give up his City Council seat to run for David Della's seat. (I can't tell you how many doors I would be willing to knock on on behalf of a progressive candidate who could defeat Della.)
Then again, maybe Steinbrueck doesn't have a plan. This is the same councilmember who wanted to scuttle this special election, even though any hope of stopping the rebuild has to start with Seattle voters declaring their opposition to it.
I can name plenty of other instances where I felt Steinbrueck was just plain wrong or even goofy. But I really am moved by the depth of his opposition to the rebuild. At that City Council meeting where they went forward with the advisory vote, he expressed better than any other elected official to date just how grave a mistake the rebuild would be. And I really, really appreciate that he's trying to unite rebuild opponents. For environmentalists, the choice between a four-lane tunnel or some surface combination should be kid's stuff compared to just fighting the rebuild.
Perhaps a lot of times Steinbrueck just doesn't get it, but this is the one issue where he really does get it, as far as I'm concerned. At least he gets it on the greatest issue facing Seattle's future.
Yeah, I don't understand why he would leave to do this, but. . .glad he's planning to be a pain in the backwards asses of the mayor and gov. We need that.
I've had some disagreements with Peter but, I hope whoever does replace has at least half his passion for improving Seattle.
I would also caution him against becoming a "Single-Issue" advocat.
Peter is as much responsible for the fix we are in as is any elected official. He played along with the absurd Tunnel long after it was obviously a financial no-go. More significantly, he played along with the convenient fiction that the Viaduct could not be Repaired. And now he balks at giving the electorate an alternative to the Rebuild via "Repair & Prepare."
Peter is a decent guy but he is no hero when it comes to the Viaduct.
I laughed, I cried, I gasped and battled tears on reading the thoroughly objective report that Peter won't be running for re-election.
Oh, the humanity!
Of course another alternative is that Peter is positioning himself to be the civic hero who prevents a disaster by putting together the winning compromise i.e. "Repair & Prepare." I know that Peter favors that idea; in fact he and Peter Sherwin pointed it out to me in the very same week. I thought it was an exceedingly astute insight by both Peters.
You can read more about Steinbrueck's view here:
(Just in case any one is wondering, his statement was in a private email but I asked and received his permission to quote him on my blog.)
If I read the Times article correctly, Steinbrueck isn't leaving office; he's serving out his term. And I would argue that elected officials are often bound by the politics that put/keep them in office, so he's probably going to gain some power -- or at least some room to maneuver -- rather than lose it.
I am a Seattle native and former local government junkie who had to leave this city because I couldn't bear to watch it regress. Steinbrueck is Seattle's best chance for moving forward (quite literally) with the vision and integrity that this lovely city deserves. If he runs for mayor, I'm moving back.
Peter deserves a lot of props from progressives in Seattle. A truly great dude and one of the only politicians in the state with a vision. Please god, have pitty on Seattle and let Steinbrueck run for mayor. Maybe we should start a "draft Peter for Mayor" campaign right now. Anyone care to join? Of course it would be great to have an effective progressive who will actually do something representing Seattle in the US Congress as well. Either way, run Peter, run!
Fucking Naderite.
Peter Steinbrueck is a talentless narcissist who used the only thing he had---a well-known father---to manage to get elected to the City Council. He fancies himself a man of great importance but is in reality just a usually ill-informed blowhard. (I was once almost kicked out of his office for daring to ask him for more details for one of his claims.) Of course, all of this would be funny except that occasionally the City Council passes---or doesn't pass---legislation that really effects some people's lives.Peter is now moving to promote the surface/transit option so that he will go down in Seattle's great and illustrious history as the man who saved the waterfront. Then maybe he'll get a park named after him once he dies. Just like Dad.
I'm in the odd position of agreeing with most of the posts above, even though they're all saying different - and mutually exclusive - things.
I've been encouraging Peter to run for Mayor since Nickels was first elected, but I'm not sure this is the best way to go about it.
As one of my older and wiser (no, make that oldest and wisest) bosses once said - it's a lot easier to get a job while you still have one.
The real irony, though, is that the most likely person to win an open seat Council race will wind up being the most malleable, risk averse, pro-Downtown business (and therefore well-funded), middle-of-the-road fake liberal Corporate Seattle (tm) candidate. You know - one of those tunnel-at-any-cost/world class hyping/delusional Chamber of Commerce sloganeers who pay lip service to progressive and neighborhood values while they're on the campaign trail who then promptly sell them out to the highest bidder.
Oh, how I wish I could see a glass half-full....
Little men always seem to be striving beyond their talent
With out the saga of "Daddy and the Market" he would still be pumping gas.
All blather and no substance, no political skills to speak of.
He has been there on the council - every day - six years submerged in Viaduct - all of sudden he seizes others ideas and energy and becomes the champ. Not to mention inertia on other issues, many other issues, many other issues, many other issues.....
Let's run Carey Moon for Mayor.
Peter is grand standing - and most likely aiming for congress. McDermott will not live forever and I bet Peter has some inside info on his retirement.
Head on crash for the seat with about ten others, leading contender is Ed Murray - dyed in the wool DEMOCRAT his whole political life, in the 7th, household name, and not a Naderite.
In a run for Congress Peter will look like Dodson did running for the legislature...
As someone said in Slog a few days ago- guess they had some insight into his nature - " watch Steinbruck lay down to stop the Dozers for the media." Seems he just said he is going to do that.
Wish I thought he was really bright - great staff telling him when to jump.
Hot temper, looks fading, Green Noose on his neck - I think it is over.
Is this called the little man version of Al Gore - picking an issue to work while in the wings?
I like Peter, but he would have the same problems as McDermott in Congress- usually good on the issues but finds it hard at times to get through what he really wants. When you're in Congress, you have to be willing to play in the sandbox with others, particularly those you don't like. Steinbrueck would have problems because he is so passionate. Anyone remember Pat Schroeder from Colorado? Loved, strong politician from the 80's/90. Caught one time by the media crying (literally) in a passionate way over an issue and her political career was over. If he has qualms about council and city politics, DC will be hell for him with all the knives in the back. DC makes Seattle look like a kindergarten.
Pat was GREAT -
Seattle is Kindergarten. And he has been part of too many nap times.
New Blood. Real vision.
Ed will eat him a live in a fight for the 7th nomination. There is a great simmering memory of the Naderites in Seattle, not talked about much, but quite real.
Ed has a boxed collection of those knives you speak of, Dave, kniefee and kniefor. He can play hardball if needed.
Apparently Washington Conservation Voters has also endorsed a "no" vote on the rebuild (measure 2).
The sad thing, Anon, is that the only real pro-enviro vote has always been No-No, but that the Sierra Club and WCV and other enviro groups got coopted by "political powers that be" to change that into a pro-tunnel anti-viaduct vote.
Salmon don't care about minor changes - they care about massive tunnel fans running 24/7 to move fewer people.
The only real choice is massive investments - we are talking more than Double Local Transit, since the population will literally double by 2040, so doubling only keeps up to the current Bad State Of Things.
Bygones. Run the carbon emissions impact numbers before getting all high and mighty.
Will, the Sierra Club has been for the surface/transit from the beginning and are endorsing No-No. They have been leaders on this from the beginning.
You are right about the other groups--People for Puget Sound and others have been hesitant to dump the tunnel--but Sierra has been good.
To his face, haters. Say it to his face.
Will, salmon don't care about the Seattle waterfront, period. Even bringing the subject up in the viaduct debate is profoundly dishonest. I actually know a thing or two about salmon recovery, and it's not happening here: it's happening (or not happening) out in the more remote corners of the Sound and in the major rivers that support the major populations.
The funniest thing in the entire city is the "salmon stream" in the Port's T107 park, which is a culvert trickling into a black mud pit that connects to the Duwamish. Salmon? I don't think so. Possibly radioactive three-eyed carp or something.
The Sound is undeniably dying, and I fully expect major extinctions in the coming decade (Hood Canal will be stone dead in ten years), but it's not Seattle's fault. Seattle does less damage PER CAPITA than anyplace in the area. The damage is coming from the runoff from clearcuts and hundreds of thousands of new exurban homes and failing septic tanks and parking lots and fish farms and cruise ships.
Part of the blame for the death of the Sound will inevitably lie also with Seattle liberals who insist on focusing on bullshit remedies like "surface route 99", pretending that they're doing something about the problem when all they are really assuaging is their own consciences. There is a real problem. No one is addressing it. We talk about trivialities and misguided projects that end up making the problem worse.
It's not tunnel fans that are killing the fish.
Steinbrueck's major accomplishment is in the area of homelessness, where he spearheaded a data collection system that has alienated every single service provider in the county, and forced them to duplicate all of their record-keeping.
Whether its Steinbruecks intent or not, he has outmaneuvered Nickels, and left him high and dry.
The surface option is Nickels fallback, and he was likely going to announce his conversion the minute the election results come in. Now, if he moves in that direction, hell merely be joining Steinbrueck, and looking like a follower, not a leader.
That was the only escape valve Nickels had left in the Viaduct debate. Now its gone.
Not that Peter needs defending from the punks that hide behind their screens, but I'll do it anyhow. I've worked with the council for 10 years. Steinbrueck is one of the few bright spots. He is truly progressive, has vision, and is effective. He's about to majorly help save the city from a total mess created by our Mayor and Governor. Passion is a great thing in politics, and is lacking from many of our electeds. As is vision, the thing Peter has that almost all other politicians in the state lack. Peter's only as perfect as any other human, which means not at all. He's not freaking superman. But he is a hard working progressive, and he's going to be part of the solution on this viaduct mess and he should run for Mayor. He'll be severely missed on council.
A-Chan (13) thank you, you said it exactly right. The "passion" is for the sound of his own voice. Passion is a dangerous thing in a politician, even more so when he's not very bright.
Fnarf (post 22), you might want to calm your vitriol on the plans for salmon habitat enhancement on the Seattle waterfront (for a start, http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/sculpturepark/2003528358_waterfront17m.html).
According to some UW research surprising numbers of juvenile salmon migrate past the piers and seawall there. It's not profoundly dishohnest to talk about salmon enhancement, and it's an important opportunity for salmon enhancement and restoration work to get exposure with the public. It's not some hairbrained scheme, so don't treat it that way.
Mr. X: I'm in the odd position of agreeing with most of the posts above, even though they're all saying different - and mutually exclusive - things.
I'm in the odd position of reading an entire post (14) and thinking, "Hmm, sounds reasonable," and then being stunned to read the "Posted by..." Mr. X??! Hey, if I can agree with Mr. X, there's hope for this city.
While I respect this move by Peter and I agree with his convictions I am also worried. Me. Steinbrueck is not very good at uniting people. He is hot headed, prone to tantrums and ranting fits. He yells at people and digs himself in on issues by making strong pronouncements that he can never back away from. I am totally with him on not wanting a new elevated but I worry about his ability to bring people together to forge a compromise. That really does not play to Mr. Steinbruecks strengths as a leader. Peter is more of an agitator and an obstructionist. I seriously doubt his ability to forge a politically agreeable compromise. I hope that he doesn't cause more problems than he is trying to solve by appointing himself as the spokeperson for the No New Elevated effort. Hope he proves me wrong.
Fnarf, you totally get the large-scale environmental problems of the region - so why do you oppose replacing highways with transit? That is the key to addressing all this! Surface/Transit isn't just about what happens on the waterfront, but the pattern of development and trips in the area.
And A-Chan, when you tell an anecdote on here that is damning to a real person, YOU HAVE TO USE YOUR NAME. Otherwise it is just sniping, and increases the credibility of your target. If Peter's only detractors are folks too chickenshit to use their name when they slander someone on a blog, that raises him in my estimation.
123 @20: Will, the Sierra Club has been for the surface/transit from the beginning and are endorsing No-No. They have been leaders on this from the beginning.
You are right about the other groups--People for Puget Sound and others have been hesitant to dump the tunnel--but Sierra has been good.
Can someone correct me? I'm pretty sure the likes of Washington Conservation Voters, People for Puget Sound, Transportation Choices Coalition, and Futurewise are taking no position on Measure 1 (tunnel) for this election. They sure as heck are endorsing a No on Measure 2 (rebuild).
Wow. Each and every time I visit Slog, I'm confronted with rabid opinions (typically, "No/No") on the waterfront transit situation. I'm just not comfortable with John Q deciding what should be done here, any more than I'm comfortable with John performing a root canal on me. Seriously, this is what we pay and train engineers for.
This is a port town. Despite Starbucks and Microsoft's (recent) supremecy, the port continues to be a major economic factor in this area. While I understand we don't live in an economy, we should understand the fundamentals of the locality in this way. Quite simply, you need to broaden the scope of this discussion beyond "the Salmon won't like it" or "sustainable growth".
I'm a little amused by the conflict between espoused values and rhetoric here. On one hand, I hear much ado about "building density" by providing more transit and more dense housing. That's great, but not everyone wants to live in a high-rise. That aside, with limited horizontal options, doesn't "building density" seem to imply that building down as well as up is advised?
Because, Grant, there is no transit to get behind.
I supported the monorail, but it's not happening. Now I support Sound Transit, because there are no other options. But anyone who thinks ST is ever going to address the transit needs of a tiny fraction of the city, or any at all of the most important part of the region, which is NOT IN the city, is dreaming.
The intellectual model of city planning behind light rail is a century out of date. Most trips in the region are not from suburb to downtown, which is the only kind of trip that light rail works for. Most trips in the area don't start or end anywhere near downtown; most aren't in the city at all.
Every idea I've ever seen for creating a "car-free society" pretends that 9/10 of the people in the region don't exist. The action is not on the Seattle waterfront; it's in downtown Bellevue, it's along the I-90 corridor, it's in South Hill and in Arlington. If you're not talking about those places, you're wasting your time. If you are talking about maintaining Seattle's importance in the region, or trying to increase it, which is the environmentally correct thing for Seattle residents to do, then turning our working areas into wasteland parks is the exact opposite of what you should be doing.
As for juvenile salmon in Elliot Bay: these are trivial runs. The impending death of Hood Canal, and the disappearance of significant runs in Washington rivers to the north, south, east and west of us are a catastrophe. The question shouldn't be "can we all stand perfectly still and maybe we can get a few fish to come over here?" It should be "can we fight sprawl and keep dirty, loud, noisy, toxic development here in the city so it doesn't turn the entire state into Alaskan Way?
fnarf (post 33), Again I agree that the Puget Sound is in trouble, but I'm not sure where you're going with this line of argument. Hood Canal and its hypoxia problem is a mess, but should not be conflated with salmon enhancement and restoration on the Seattle waterfront. They're both important, but not for the same reasons. The Seattle waterfront represents a great opportunity to do enhancement in order to learn how to improved the numerous nearshore environments around the Sound that are armored by bulkheads and the like.
Also, if you're saying that we should concentrate all development here in order to limit sprawl elsewhere in the Puget Sound basin, what are you proposing? This is a question, not an attack.
I'm not saying "we" should concentrate all development here. Development is not a decision, it's a competition. Development should be GIVEN PRIORITY here, so that we can outcompete the sticks. The sticks have such natural advantages that I don't think we can win, but unless we want LA we have to try.
My suggestion for the viaduct would be to start over, and the focal point of the plan should not be an idiotic "park" or "boulevard" but should be improving freight access to the Port. By which I mean greatly enlarged grade-separated rail access to the container terminals just south of downtown and on Harbor Island.
Then you figure out how to connect the other pieces. King Street Station has been a problem since the day it was built; how are we going to use it to serve real transit? Where's that transit going to go? Build a real transit plan for the area, and I'll support it. Hang the cost; if it's the right thing, it doesn't matter how much it costs.
But at all times think regionally. Sound Transit doesn't go to the airport. Oh, it goes NEAR the airport, but if the doors to the trains don't open inside the main terminal, it doesn't count, and it's a FAILURE. I know that doesn't have anything to do with the viaduct, but it is indicative of a trail of half-assed "solutions" that are driving economic activity out of the city, so it's in the same category as the viaduct.
But definitely, definitely, stop pretending the car trips are going to go away, and stop pretending that what we need is something pretty for the kids to play in. This is a CITY we're talking about here. We need more economic engines, not fewer; plants, offices, stores, not parks. If you want greenery, go outside the center city to one of the many, many parks in Seattle and the surrounding area. London has Hyde Park, but Hyde Park isn't in the City of London and it's not in the Docklands. Seattle needs to attract activity to its core if it wants to avoid becoming anything more than just a bedroom community for people who work in Edge City somewhere out on the freeways. The direction they are pursuing now is based entirely on government and tourism. But tourism isn't always that ecofriendly.
The fundamental fact about cities is that they concentrate activity and thus, if properly managed, pull activity away from undeveloped areas. That's not what's happening in Seattle. The city is quieting down, and the activity is all out in the sticks. How long before Bellevue has more office space than Seattle? It's certainly more attractive, because it's accessible from all those lovely McMansions in Issaquah, Woodinville, and much further without any bridges to cross, and no whining nitwits who want to turn their center city into a lawn.
These "learning" opportunities about the shoreline need to be taking place elsewhere. There is NEVER going to be a good justification for converting Seattle's waterfront into a deserted beach. Much of what we know, besides, is already learned, but is politically impossible to implement; we KNOW why Hood Canal is dead; it's because it's solidly lined with little houses (mysteriously getting bigger by the day) on failing septic systems. We KNOW why the salmon are disappearing; it's because of the dams and the clearcuts and the houses on the water and the runoff from the miles and miles of parking lots that are being built in the watersheds.
It's stupid and morally wrong to want to make your own patch green and pretty while ignoring what's happening in the region. That's what removing the viaduct helps accomplish: drive activity elsewhere, to foul them with distributed waste that should be concentrated here.
jesus, take it off line & lets get back to bashing Steinbreuck for getting emotional about emotional issues.
Oh, c'mon Fnarf, don't get too bent out of shape about ST and the airport. Yes, you're going to have to walk through the parking garage to get to the station. But at how many airports in the world blessed by a transit connection to the city they serve are you not forced to take a long walk (or amusement-park electric train ride or bus or whatever) to get to the train station? Does pulling in to a basement somewhere connected by a few escalators and a long corridor before getting to the main terminal count as a decent solution? 'Cause that's pretty much the state of the art.
Would a nice covered finished space inside the garage with a moving sidewalk make you feel any better? I bet it could be had for a relative bargain.

"As for juvenile salmon in Elliot Bay: these are trivial runs."
Actually, I might argue they are perhaps one of the better managed in the state. It is little known that they sustain both an ongoing commercial as well as recreational fishery. Not all salmon runs in Puget Sound are threatend, and it can be argued that the state of some of the runs which enter Elliott Bay, are in fact, not in bad shape at all, especially compared to those in Hoods Canal and the lower Sound area.
For someone who claims to care so much about the issue, you are so awfully wrong about so many things.
Freight access projects are chugging along. The Atlantic St overpass is built, Lander St & Royal Brougham are in the pipeline, along with widening the Spokane St Viaduct. Most important, the Stampede Pass tunnel is being enlarged. The I-90 bottleneck at the pass is being addressed.
Replacing the viaduct with a six lane boulevard will have zero effect on freight travelling to other cities & states, which I would peg at 99% of the port's traffic. Sure, it sucks for Ballard Oil that trips to Harbor Island will take an extra 30 mins at rush hour, but that's the breaks of doing business in the big city.
The West Seattle Green Line is becoming a reality in BRT form. The SLU streetcar is nearly here, and extensions to the UW and Ballard will follow if we demand it. Light rail construction is going flat-out, and will pick up more steam when ST2 passes.
People also forget that we need to repave I-5 downtown soon. The perfect opportunity to convert the express lanes to two-way HOT operation, and spend a few billion fixing the bottleneck under the lid instead of befouling the waterfront.
previous comment manifesto was directed AT Fnarf, not written BY Fnarf.
To my knowledge, People for Puget Sound, Transportation Choices have not yet advocated for No/No. If they have, that would be extremely recently. Transportation Choices has been largely pro-tunnel, anti-viaduct.
"Freight access projects are chugging along. The Atlantic St overpass is built, Lander St & Royal Brougham are in the pipeline, along with widening the Spokane St Viaduct.."
Freight traffic only moves east and west? I don't think so, and if you shutdown the Viaduct you are going to find freight traffic displaced to the primary North/South I-5 corridor. As that becomes crowded and slows, a smart trucker will look to alternatives
(especially when dispatch is on hís or her rear about not missing a cutoff at the dock). Perhaps that turns into a trip off I-5 to Holman Road to 15th Ave NW to Elliott Way. I think you are completely forgetting the impacts displaced motor vehicle traffic will have on tractor-trailer's accessing
that new east west corridor. It wasn't designed, engineered and built with the thought there wasn't going to be a viaduct or tunnel of some sort.
Way to knock down that strawman, Jensen. Of course freight doesn't entirely move east-west.
However, the majority of freight entering & leaving the port is:
A: Traveling via UPRR or BNSF. Railyards are south of central waterfront, all SR99 options improve access.
B: Traveling via I-5 or I-90. The Port itself notes on its regional transportation page that their trucks do not use the Viaduct.
C: Therefore, the logical conclusion is to improve I-5 and I-90 access (which the SR519 project has done), and fix the downtown bottleneck on I-5.
Additionally, two-way HOT express lanes could provide trucks with a predictable travel time for a toll.
In short, the argument that a surface option hurts the Port is crap.
SOME JERK Wrote:
"In short, the argument that a surface option hurts the Port is crap."
Never made that claim, Some Jerk. Tractor trailers do utilize Elliott Way, Alaskan Way S.(the street), and E. Marginal Way, and somehow you forgot to mention this.
The reason you don't see many 40 footer use the Viaduct is that the only place to exit going south is at Royal Brougham. You can't turn a 40 or 48 foot rig right on RB to access Alaska Way, and it doesn't make sense to go all the way down to Spokane and then double back.
You begged the question what will occur when the Viaduct is shut down and a percentage of its traffic is dispersed to I-5, which will in turn, slow down. Truckers on schedules will use alternative roadways, and anyone making the assumption that freight traffic won't utilize a six lane boulevard on Alaskan Way whenI-5 is backed up in order to access the docks has mush for brians....especially after you begin your build out (which I might add, is complete "pie in the sky") of the I-5 convention center bottleneck. It wouldn't be unreasonable to consider line ups of idling trucks waiting on your boulevarded Alaskan Way to get into the gate at 46... much like you currently see on East Marginal.
You're right, Some Jerk, the surface option isn't going to hurt the Port of Seattle. They could care less. However it will contribute to increased costs I am paying for trucking due to the additional time of dealing with traffic and other delays. A somepoint I and many others will say, "Fuck It" and truck our stuff to the ports of Tacoma or Vancouver B.C. for shipping instead of dealing with the uncertainties of Seattle traffic.

Which I might add, validates FNARF's original point.
I never said trucks wouldn't use a six lane boulevard, in fact I would expect it. My argument is not based on a dramatic reduction in car trips.
I support a limited access boulevard. The main reason the surface plan DOT studied failed is the 12 stoplights it assumed.
My plan is a six lane surface street with pedestrian overpasses and one grade seperated intersection (a "texas T" ramp) to access downtown. Without any other stoplights, it would move comparable traffic to the Viaduct, at reasonable speeds.

No doubt and critics (of which I am NOT
one. I want to see more ideas on the table!) will likely suggest this is making the current viaduct into a
surface street. It deserves a consideration. I do question what your idea of reasonable speed. Mine is
60-80 mph as often as possible.
Yeah, my plan basically is to put the viaduct at ground level.
My other brainstorm: why not simply build the seawall replacement up against the shore side of the boulevard, topping out 15 feet above ground? Instant noisewall.
Still room on the waterfront side for a nice tree-lined "woonerf" shared street for strolling, local deliveries, bikes, etc.
In the future, if the $$$ are there, widen the pedestrian overpasses till the road is nearly totally lidded. Park with views and cafes and shit goes on top. All the fun of a tunnel, without all that diggin.
I hope Ron Sims is listening: this is how to make surface/transit palatable to nearly everybody.
Tell me Meinert and Cogswell,
Why are you so upset when commenters don't sign their real or full names? This is not a court of law, this is a blog, where pseudonyms are the norm. Would Fnarf be half as interesting if we knew who he/she really was? And who are you, Mr. Cogswell, to declare what the rules are for slandering (sic) someone on this blog?
Of course, what I wrote about Peter Steinbrueck (#13) should be essentially obvious to anyone who has had any sort of contact with him. It is hardly a revelation that he would become angry when challenged. What do you need my name for, an investigation? ( If, Mr. Cogswell, you sincerely want details about my interactions with Peter, we could however probably arrange something.)
You know, one can often determine the credibility of a post by what is said and how it is written, regardless of whether a pseudonym is used. For instance, people who label their anonymous opponents as "punks"(#25) come across as having a very limited worldview. I can assure you, Mr. Meinert, that I am about as far from a "punk" as one can get.
A-Chan, because what reason do you have to hide it? And if we don't know who you are what reason do we have to believe it? And in what way are you standing behind it?
Fnarf, you are well-intentioned and smart, and I have slighted you in the past. I apologize. (Re: A-Chan, It WOULD be more interesting to know who you are.) Plus you have excellent taste in women. I salute you. But don't you think it's worth something to make the change where you can? The monorail was about beginning a network and a lifestyle that would expand outward. It didn't cover much ground, but the point was expansion. Similarly, a surface/transit option would start a (slow) expansion toward (mostly) car-free (or at least -light) living that we HAVE to move toward. But hell, our grandkids are pretty much doomed by our habits, anyway. The 20th century city must die. Don't put it on life support, huh?
no, fanarf is not my last name, but I think I would like it if he stopped by for a screw
Grant, you are sounding so very churlish and silly. Whoever Chan has chewed your nuts.
Every body is aware of Peters temper, so called passions, and glory to me
bullhorn grandstanding. City TV council meetings, Peter always chimes in and speaks little mini speeches, and the last word, mostly just a waste of time, but good face for him.
Why didn't he save the monorail? Was he not in the room during the WHOLE process.
You like Peter, many of us do not think his political future is a slam dunk.
His warts and moles and dick size are now open to discussion.
Quite frankly, Steinbrueck is full of crap. If he really was that savvy or concerned about the Monorail, the tunnel or the surface street option, he wouldn't have gotten so easily outflanked by Nickels and the state. Carey Moon's PWC was hoping to get data to substantiate the suface only option, and the best that he could muster was 15K and a reliance on the WSDOT data.. Having grown up back east, they'll have his but for lunch..
The worst mistake PWC, the Sierra Club and any other pro-transit pro-environment goob could make is rely on these so-called progressive Democrats in office.
What's needed is collection of smart independent (non government) thinking planners, engineers, business owners to propose a well thought out vision that will meet the disparate needs of the common folks. Its got to address effective transit reform and how the corridor (Alaskaway) can be better leveraged while reconnecting the city to the waterfront.. This wil unfortunately require a capital investment as the whole area (Central Waterfront and south) is fucked up.
A key issue that everyone seems to blindly take for granted, is that Soundtransit and Metro are building something that is really going to be efficient.. and meet our needs.. Taking 2 hours to get from Beacon Hill - West Seattle is not my idea of pedestrian friendly mass transit.solution.. that in mind where is Pete.. where is the vision... the master Architect/civic leader...
In short based on my personal experiences with PS I call BS.. He is simply taking this opportunity to try to be the WhIte night.. well guess what, your ass was needed four years ago...
You can slaughter me on my misspellings but hopefully the message is clear..
