Underwhelming Executive Club Lounge
The hotel is located on the eastern end of the city and near a subway line. From Kyoto Station there is a free shuttle bus which brings you to the hotel and vice versa. Deluxe room had a sofa and balcony with some nice views. The Westin Executive Lounge was located in a small place with very limited seating. The only saving grace were the views. Breakfast and evening cocktail hours serves extremely light food which was underwhelming.

Very disappointed
I stayed at this Westin Hotel based on my past experiences with Westin. The air conditioning wasn't operating. In middle of summer in Japan where the temperatures are in the 90s. I reported the situation to the management. The responce was that the other rooms that is comparable to our suit are all soldout and they refused to upgrade us to a better room or at least give us a lower rate per night.

Nice calm stay in the busiestweek in Japan
We stayed at this hotel one night in so-called Golden Week in Japan when is the busiest season in Japan. Of course, the facility was full of people, but we could get early check in as requested and were upgraded to the suite. Platinum upgrade to suite is less often in Japan compared in other region, so it is valuable. The room and the facility was a little old but the maintenance was good except the problem of WIFI router. Thanks and see you soon.

Something wrong
A lot of staff but they doing his job very slow. Very hard feather-rfee pillows. Got room with cemetery view. Bit far from downtown. Good shuttle service from train station but no stops at main tourist spots on outbound trip. Platinum lounge is average. Great japanese breakfast.

Very attentive staff, huge hotel, meh food
My friend and I had been traveling through Japan for just short of a week when we arrived at The Westin Miyako Kyoto. We took the subway from Kyoto Station, unaware until after we had arrived that the hotel provides a shuttle. Granted I should have checked myself, but it would have been nice if they'd made that service more obvious when I made my reservation. Would've been a much more pleasant arrival experience. The staff are incredibly attentive when you walk in; so much so that it's almost overwhelming. You're quickly swarmed by 2-3 staff members trying to help you. The room was great...exactly what you would expect from a Westin. My only complaint is the floor plan is a little crazy and our room was very far away from the elevator down several oddly laid out hallways. I ordered room service. I had a craving for a cheeseburger after eating local cuisine since my arrival. It was disappointing. The burger was only available well-done and it tasted more like meatloaf than a burger. They didn't serve it with ketchup, but rather with an unsweetened tomato paste. I loved the location of the hotel. It's right next to several shrines and temples. My friend and I started the day walking to the nearest temple, Nanzen-ji, which is essentially right next door and then spent the rest of the day walking the Philosopher's Walk, visiting all the temples and shrines along the way. It made for a really wonderful day of sightseeing. All my critiques of the hotel are nit picks. It was overall a very good experience. I'm just sharing the few little things that took away from it.

Lovely hotel in Kyoto
We stay here for 3 night, check in late but everything was smooth and staffs were very friendly, clean and comfortable room, 2-3 min. walk to subway station that link you to the city and many places. only one thing need to point out is the hotel only have one group of 3 elevator go to the lobby, and quite far away for many rooms

Great service, great food, rooms a bit aged
Stayed here for 5 nights in February on a vacation trip with my wife. After staying here in 2007 and facing a few problems, I was not sure if we should go back here, but are now very glad we did. Service: The service quality at this hotel is great. Everybody is very forthcoming and attentive. When we pulled up with the taxi, there were three other taxis just unloading in front of us. We did barely make it out of the taxi and to the trunk for our backs and someone from the hotel was there to help. Check-In was very fast, additional questions have competently been answered, and we were accompanied to our room. A quick explanation of AC and lights in the room would have been helpful, but this is minor details. When needing an umbrella from the front desk everybody is quickly there to help, when you return they even come forward from behind the desk to make sure you have a shorter way to return the umbrella. When needing a taxi to a specific locaiton the bellman was very helpful in working with the taxi driver to find the correct location and help him get us there. Perfect. Room: We were upgraded to a junior suite on the 10th floor. Conveniently on the same floor as the lounge. There was a decent view from the suite over parts of Kyoto. The size was very nice for a junior suite, bedroom and sitting / work area separated by some kind of glass wall. Very nice. The furniture and the decor definitely are, well, not the newest. But everything is clean and in good working condition. So overall the room is very nice. The bed is rather hard, not the heavenly bed I am used too from other Westin properties. But the comfort of sleep was still decent. Everything is very clean, after all this is Japan. Food: What can I say, great bordering on perfect. We tried the japanese set breakfast they are offering in their chinese restaurant in the morning. It was amazing. We love Japanese breakfast, so we try it thruout Japan. This as definitely a standout breakfast. Food choice, quality, attention in preparation, everything is great. This sets the mark for me for Japanese breakfasts. We also tried two restaurants in the evening and room service. The rom service was quick and food quality was very good. Extra requests were kindly fulfilled. For a quick bite absolutely recommendable. The blue cafe offered a buffet in the evening. The food choices are plenty, including freshly prepared sushi and a great roastbeef. The pistachio mouse was amazing as well. Including the 10% discount that we got with a voucher we received at checkin I would say this is a steal at 4500JPY / person. The japanese restaurant offers a kaiseki style dinner as well. We tried it with two different menus for my wife and me. The food was quality was great, but I found the atmosphere could have been a bit nicer. Also, the coordination of courses between the two different menus could have been better. Still a nice experience. So please take this more as ideas for improvement than criticism. Bottom line: a great experience, much better than 8 years ago, and now we definitely intend to stay here again when we come back to Kyoto.

Superior SPG Recognition, Great Service, Expensive Food
I had a very positive experience at the Westin Miyako Kyoto, but there are definitely areas of improvement for the hotel to be had. There are various features here that are better than typical Westins, and some that are horribly lower than par. Let's start out with the pros: - CONCIERGE: Very professional, english speaking, and knowledgeable. They were able to help us book a restaurant in Kobe at the right time, emailed me the details, and sent me on our way. They also were able to provide a map and outline where to go on it. - PLATINUM RECOGNITION: They upgraded our room to a suite, which was very nice. The manager here also sent us an email welcoming us. It took 5 minutes to check-in because non-platinum/gold members rushed ahead of us and used the line, even though they had no status. No biggie since it wasn't long. - HAPPY HOUR: Surprisingly, they serve good drinks. Sapphire gin, pelligrino, coke zero, Kirin beer, etc. It was a free happy hour for platinum guests, and very generous of the hotel. - INTERNET: It's fast. That's all that matters. - SOAP: First SPG hotel I have ever been to that gives you Bvlgari shampoo/soap. - SLIPPERS: Softest ones I have ever received from a hotel. - TURNDOWN SERVICE: They offered it to us, which is very nice. Now, we need to go to the areas of improvement: - GYM: The gym really needs a makeover. There's one main machine, a few cardio machines, and old freeweights. I'm guessing that people in Asia don't treat the gym as seriously, so that might be why they haven't upgraded it. - BREAKFAST: I cannot complain that it is free for platinum members. However, they only provide scrambled eggs, a few pastries, salad, and some fruit. Most Westins have significantly better breakfasts than this one. Again, it is free, and for being free, it is quite decent. - RESTAURANTS: Most are overpriced. I would avoid eating at the hotel to save money. You could spend easily $100 USD+ for 2 people at the restaurants. Overall, I am going to stay here again when I visit Kyoto. The hotel overall is sub-Westin level compared to the states, but the service and platinum recognition is by far better than SPG hotels I have been to in the states (I range from Platinum 50-75).

About the club lounge
As a SPG platinum member, often upgraded to higher level and big room. The club lounge's view is terrific. But I am not so happy with the Lounge's policy for Children during happy hour. The attendants refused to bring the four small dishes to my 6-yrs old son. It must make him sad and he has to share with parents. I hope next time, the attendants could ask my son if he wants to have the small sample dishes though sometimes, he might only like to have the shrimp/beaf with tomato. Also I don't know if there is a manager for the Lounge that I can talk with him/her about his issue. I hope he/she can walk out to say hello to the guests.

Great re-stay
Our first visit to the Kyoto Westin was not so great but we took a chance the second time around and found a huge improvement. We're glad we did and are eagerly looking forward to making it our vacation home-away-from-home. We were upgraded to a very nice room, the staff added an extra bed to the suite because they saw we were bringing our daughter (though we didn't even ask it worked out beautifully), the staff was very competent and eager in their English usage and I witnessed at least two dozen successful interactions between staff at all level with international customers (and zero unsuccessful ones!) The Club Lounge was a little spare in amenities and selection the two times we stopped by but the service was terrific. The staff worked with us to substantially lessen the parking scheme fee (a big and welcome change over last time) and the food was delicious. Next time we will take advantage of the rental cycles! Looking forward to our next stay!

I love this hotel
My best choice in Kyoto. Location is good, the shuttle bus, metro, city bus, bike rental. 15 mins walk to Eikando Zenrin-Ji temple, close to Nan Zen-Ji temple, maple & Zen garden, my favorite. Tranquil sleep & wild bird sanctuary after breakfast, interesting. The sky lounge at Kintetus Kyoto station, you can find shuttle bus there. Waiting for my next visit. And cinnamon biscuits in the Executive Lounge, yummy yummy.

Superb – in all respects!
We stayed here as a family in September for 6 days whilst on holiday. It is a large hotel for sure, but its design and location are such that it has the feel of a smaller, luxury hotel. The reception area is welcoming and the check-in process is managed with friendly, Japanese efficiency. When we arrived at 11am I really wasn't expecting to get into the room earlier than the posted check-in time of 3pm – the Japanese norm - we just wanted to leave our luggage and set-off for the day. So we were pleasantly surprised then when the receptionist (probably in recognition of my Platinum Life SPG) offered us the room from 130pm and access to the lounge for refreshments beforehand. Obviously we accepted! In the meantime, we wandered off to explore the hotel and its beautiful gardens and then went onto a local restaurant (of which there are plenty around the hotel) for lunch. We booked a 4-bed, family room and we were very happy with our choice. There were 2 over-sized singles in a bedroom and two similar sized beds in a larger room, with a sofa area that the children could play in (and watch TV). Great! The bathroom was of a decent size too. The space and layout of the room was great; more than sufficient to sleep in and to spend a reasonable amount of "downtime" in after exploring beautiful Kyoto. The SPG/Club lounge had great views over Kyoto; enjoyed all the more over an evening cocktail or their great hors d'oeuvres! Their selection of wines, beers and spirits was good. The gym was of a reasonable size, and the equipment met the basic requirements. The indoor pool was of a decent size too – good enough for laps and more than sufficient for the kids to have fun in. We didn't use the outdoor pool and terrace, but that would clearly have been lovely in the summer sun. The hot tub was more than appreciated after pounding the pavements walking around Kyoto. These facilities were complimentary for us as Platinum guests but I think (but it should be confirmed) that is true for other hotel guests too. We ate breakfast in the AquaBlu restaurant rather than the Club lounge. The choice in the former was extensive and the quality excellent on a par with other Asian/European of comparable standard hotels. I write this as my experience in other Japanese hotels (including SPG) has been underwhelming on quality and amazement on the price they often charge for it. The only downside at their breakfast was the slow rate at which the various bowls and dishes would be refilled once empty. This was an issue at their peak times. We also ate in this restaurant on a couple of evenings when the children were particularly tired. The children's menu offered a good selection, was very reasonably priced and was of a high standard. The same was true of the a la carte menu. The hotel is in a superb location. The metro station (Keage) is only a 2 min walk away and on a direct line to Kyoto's main station. The hotel has a regular bus service into the city, stopping off at a couple of tourist spots and then the Kyoto station itself. By the way, the hotel bus stop at Kyoto station is directly opposite from where the Airport Bus stops. As if this isn't enough, many of Kyoto's "must see" sites are all within pleasant walking distance of the hotel. The staff was excellent in all respects – from reception, to the restaurants and lounge, the gym/pool and housekeeping – in terms of friendliness and efficiency. They were also very child friendly. When we're back in Kyoto, we'll stay at the Westin Miyako for sure.

Good hotel
I was upgraded to a suite which was nicely spacious. The room did not have any special thrills but it was what I would expect from the 4th category. As platinum guests we were offered a complimentary breakfast buffet. Shuttle service was a convenient way to get to the train or to the nearby attractions. The service was not as impressive. I think it was mostly due to language problems (however it should be critical to have a decent English speaker on duty at all times). E.g. we had a trouble with air-conditioning and we were told "they were sorry". Well, I appreciate the staff was sorry, but I expected they would propose something. Only after we insisted the staff agreed to send a technician (who solved the problem) - weird.

Wonderful night in Westin Kyoto
Stayed 1 night from Aug 23 to 24, with wife and 10-month-daughter, for celebrating 2nd wed anniversary. Westin Kyoto was welcomed my family with warm greeting, Our Room was the residence(Rm #1116). Baby crib and humidifier are just in place, also microwave was very useful for my daughter's food to warm up. The most impressive part of the stay was that Westin Kyoto had preparted a mini cake for wed anniversary. Thanks to all, Definitely worth to stay.

First visit and I'll definitely be back
I usually stay in Osaka but my business has taken me to Kyoto recently. First time here and I had a great experience. Platinum upgrade to a suite without a problem. Excellent location for relaxing. I highly recumbent a sunrise and a sunset walk along the birdwatching trail. I don't usually like to be up at sunrise but this is worth it. It doesn't get 5 stars from me simply because of the age of the property. However, I don't want that to seem negative, it is in good shape and Kyoto is about history. The lounge is very casual but relaxing and the panoramic card they can give you is an excellent idea to identify all of the sites you see from the window.

Hotel with potential that falls short on recognition
We are SPG Gold members and stayed at the Westin Miyako Kyoto from May 24-26. The hotel is very large and seems to be focused primarily on package tours and groups, not business or individual leisure travelers. • Check-in was at 3:00 pm or afterwards – our request for an earlier check-in, even by an hour, was denied. • The room we received was a standard run-of-the-mill room at the end of four long corridors, not an "enhanced" room that is supposed to be offered to SPG Gold members. • The reservation email advertised that we would have a Westin "heavenly bed." We did not have this in our room, at least one similar to other Westins – rather it was one of the firmest mattresses without give I've encountered in a hotel in a while. • The SPG Gold Amenity was not offered to us at check-in. I had to work with SPG customer service afterwards to liaise with the hotel and even then did not hear from the hotel even after two outreach attempts by SPG customer service. • This Westin charges for gym use for Gold members and below. I find this micro-charging for frequent guests inappropriate, and inconsistent when compared with sister Westin properties in Japan, like the Westin Nagoya Castle, which offers use of the gym and pool as a courtesy to Gold members. • The highlight was Ms. Chieko at the Concierge desk, who was very helpful with reservations. • On another positive note, the hotel did agree to a late check out of 2:00 pm. All in all a rather disappointing experience from this Westin, and it's one that I won't be returning to any time soon.

Dated, poor management, expensive for what it has to offer
They would not honor the Starwood special offer that I got in the mail. We did not like the room, it was dated, the drapes and carpet were old and the bathroom was small and needed updating, so we wanted to shorten our stay to four days from four. We asked to speak to the manager who refused to do anything about it, the manager did not speak hardly any English, which is absurd in an international hotel in the city of Kyoto which is very touristy. The management was inflexible and again refused to honor the Starwood offer for an upgraded room and access to the Executive Lounge, and refused to refund the credit for the fifth night, although the terms and conditions read that there was no penalty for canceling a reservation until that day. Aside from our bad experience the hotel is way off the major tourist areas or the center of town, there is precious little to do in the area and hard to find a nice restaurant nearby. The restaurants in the hotel are ridiculously expensive, around $50 for a buffet dinner per person but they had nothing to offer, all the platters were nearly empty. The hotel it self is really dated and old fashioned, the lobby is a disgrace for a hotel that charges those prices, it is something out of the 70's. The only good thing about this hotel is that they provide a shuttle bus to the train station.

Outstanding Service by An Excellent Staff
Mr. Yuji Osawa, Front Desk Manager, greeted us upon our arrival and had everything set up for our first visit to Kyoto. He also arranged for our baggage delivery to Haneda Airport prior to our departure. Chief Concierge, Ms. Kaori Kato, made our Kyoto experience something we will always remember. When none of the kimono shops were available, she was able to negotiate a time slot and arrange to have our daughter get an appointment. We are so grateful for the extra attention that Ms. Kato gave us. When we go to Kyoto in the future - we will definitely stay at the Westin Miyako Hotel.

Great hotel but Exec privileges need to be enhanced
Great hotel, with obvious traces of age. Nice amenities in their suites (Bvlgari). And definitely good amenities. But sadly, their Executive Lounge is really pathetic. One of the worse lounges i have been to in a long time. Consist of apparently 8-10 small tables tucked in a corner after a staircase, with no check-in/out facilities. Limited Wifi due to location i presume. Hotel has a good complimentary shuttle, runs every 30mins between hotel and Kyoto station with stops near their "city". But the downside is, you can't hop back on the bus once you're down with your shopping or sightseeing. You have to find your own way back due to "security reasons". Overall, Kyoto is a nice place to visit and its the ONLY SPG hotel in the vicinity.

The hotel has a high standard of room amenities and hotel facilities. Though not near tourist attractions, shuttle bus service is provided with several stopovers. Excellent building and environment as if the hotel is a spot already. Worth to stay here and relax. PS: staff are friendly and detail-minded.

Great Location Mediocre Hotel
We just returned from 43 nights in Asia at 9 Starwood hotels. All except this one were excellent to superb. At this hotel we were upgraded to a suite, which was depressingly old-fashioned and without a city view. We chose to down-grade to a renovated room with a great view. This room was fine. The club floor is the worst I have ever seen at any Starwood property offering a club floor. The breakfast buffet didn't compare with that offered by any of the other hotels. This was also the only hotel on the trip where the dining room staff seemed not to care about the customers. As an investor in a hotel myself, I know what budget pressures an owner can place on an operator, and I suspect Starwood is not the owner here. I paid more per night for mediocrity at the Miyako Kyoto than I did for a truly superior stay at the St. Regis Osaka, which is only 15 minutes away from Kyoto by train. So aside from an incredible location which I am sure is the reason the hotel survives, the Westin Miyako Kyoto is a real loser and does not do Starwood's reputation any good.

Staff just not SPG level
To begin, I would say that my family loves SPG hotels and as a Platinum member, we've used them world wide, including Japan; we love Kyoto and have been traveling there for more than a decade; and everyone in our family is fluent in both Japanese and English. This said, our recent stay in Kyoto was the worst we've ever experienced in an SPG property, though the facilities and amenities and locale are great. It boils down to service, which was, to be honest, shocking for a seasoned business and leisure traveler in Japan like us. Several things not necessarily in order of importance: * The Club Lounge. During the evening of our stay, my wife felt that she was ignored by the staff, which has never been our experience at club lounges before. She was not spoken to, not offered refreshment, not acknowledged, while the other guests were. * In the afternoon before checkout we went to the Club Lounge and sat down to enjoy some snacks. after 5 minutes a staff member appeared and when they came over to our table I expect they would welcome us as we were the only people in the lounge. But instead the woman curtly informed us (in Japanese) that we would have to move to another table -the one right next to where we were sitting (which was not reserved). When I protested, she relented and then didn't speak to us for the next 40 minutes we were there, including when we spilled a little bit of water...which we were left to clean up on our own. It was a very curious and uncomfortable episode which truly marred our quite family time looking at the beautiful Kyoto scene * Upon check-in and check out, I was never acknowledged as a platinum member...and the staff seemed very nonchalant about the fact that our requested Suite Night Award and platinum upgrade could not be met. * We requested more than a week prior to arrival a crib. The hotel contacted us to ask the age of the child and we said it was for a 1 month old infant. When we arrived the crib they gave us was for a toddler...a big deal since the bed rested about a meter from the top of the crib and my wife couldn't pick the baby up from the bottom of the crib. When we called service to ask about fixes or switches, they said they would be up to our room with a solution but called back minutes later to tell us no one was coming and that all the cribs for infants were taken. If we had known we would not be provided an infant crib, we would have brought our travel crib. But no. * Service during the delicious breakfast buffet was almost non-existent and we had to take to busing our own tables. * We got to use the pool for free (yes they charge non-platinum members a fee to use the pool facilities), but only after I had to explain (in Japanese) to the pool attendant our platinum status. * The smoking area is in the middle of the dining/exercise floor guarded by a cloth curtain and nothing more. So you get a gasp of second hand smoke every time you go to or from the exercise area or the restaurants. Not pleasant, unless you are a smoker...maybe not even then * They charge guests for in-hotel parking using the "Times" parking scheme and one night set us back approximately 1000 yen, though we were paying guests. There was no apology for this, just an explanation that as a guest I got about 500 yen off. Additionally, when we first arrived, the parking lot was full and so we followed 3 different successive directors instructions and arrived where we were supposed to be, only to be chased off by a security guard while unpacking. This process continued until a car had driven off from the standard parking lot and we were able to park. To reiterate, we found it shocking that we were charged for parking (it couldn't even be rolled into our room fee - you need cold hard cash to feed the machine) at a SPG 5 property as a platinum member. No validation, nothing. * I'm not normally picky about this but the complementary water in the room that they say is from Fuji tasted like bad chlorinated tap water. This is a shame as Japan has some of the best spring water in the world. * Finally, though I FULLY acknowledge that Japanese staff in a Japanese hotel in Japan have a right to speak Japanese as a default, I found the level of English (the international default language) to be shockingly bad, comparing the Kyoto location to other Japanese SPG properties in Yokohama and Tokyo in which we have stayed. We had no problems with a language barrier, but I would be very hesitant to send English-only friends to this property. Kyoto is one of the top tourist destinations in the world on par with Athens, Cairo, and Rome. They should work hard to up their English customer service skills. We had been planning to return to Kyoto in the spring, but it is likely we will visit another SPG property in Japan instead.

Disappointing Stay
We stayed at this hotel in Sept for three nights. We had a total of three rooms, of which one was upgraded to a Junior Suite. All the furniture and fittings in the three bedrooms, including the suite, were old. Only the toilets look new and the shower facilities were updated. If you are seeking to just do sightseeing, the location of the hotel is near to quite a number of temples and sightseeing spots. However, the hotel is not that near to the Gion or Kyoto Station. The hotel does provide a free Shuttle Service which leaves every half an hour for Gion and Kyoto Station. However, the capacity is only 25, and many times we could not get onto the shuttle service and had to either wait half an hour for the next one, or take a cab. I think the frequency and the capacity should be increased. In addition, you can only board the shuttle service at the hotel or Kyoto Station and they do not allow you to board in other locations such as Gion. Thus you have to find your own transport back to the hotel. Compared to other Starwood hotels, I feel that the Westin Miyako is not as comfortable or convenient.

For several custom taxonomies I am using taxonomy.php to show a list of posts. It works fine without pagination. And I can show the first page of the pagination but page 2 gets at 404, page not found.
In other words http://www.haringkids.com/lesson_plans/?curriculum=art works but http://www.haringkids.com/lesson_plans/?curriculum=art&paged=2 goes to "page not found". (If you go to these pages, you will see some var_dumps, just ignore them.)
Some of the code related to paging comes from:
It seems to me the problem is not exactly with the pagination but once "paged=2" is added to the url, WP is not using taxonomy.php
Anyway. I am stymied. Any help would be much appreciated.
Here is my code:

RAPID CITY — Charges are pending against a 37-year-old Rapid City man arrested after a standoff with police that lasted more than three hours.
Authorities say the Thursday afternoon standoff at a mobile home began when neighbors alerted police to a suspected burglary. When officers arrived, the suspect barricaded himself in the home.
Officers eventually entered the home and arrested the man on outstanding warrants. Additional charges are expected.

I'm really liking your alien heads and your sketches are so very clean. The alien compilation image would be a great poster and the images themselves would go well in a coffee table artbook. :)

Yes. Yes, indeed. You've really put some meat on those bones, so to speak.
It's nice to see more from you. I also agree that you should post the things that you are uncomfortable with sharing. In my case, if I were to only post the things that I liked, I'd never post at...

Is it possible to do a straight swap of a 2.8 Ghz Pentium 4 with a 3.4 Ghz Pentium 4 on an Intel motherboard? Do each of these chips have the same socket, or are they different?
How do I find out what specific processor (besides the speed, of course) that I have in my computer? How do I find out what socket it uses? If I have to look up the motherboard model information, where do I get the motherboard model from?

Close Enough.
The "violin" is kind of unreal but I think that it makes the song great, a real violin would make the song weird. Close enough.
Great job, the slight randomness feeling in the drumbeats makes the song even better.
Rated 4 / 5 stars
I found this attractive
That Violinist sure is mad!
Thought you did a great job on this. I was kinda expecting a longer melody, but the violinist is so mad, he just freaks out and play this awesome tune that makes you stab the nearest person.

A wildfire popped up here in San Diego yesterday about 2 miles east of my house. It was more than a little unnerving, as the picture here from someone closer to the fires shows (courtesy of NBC San Diego.)
I don't like not knowing about stuff like this as it's happening, so my response was to build a Yahoo Pipes mashup extracting fire spottings from live California Highway Patrol incident reports for San Diego. (Perhaps unsurprisingly, the CHP knows about everything in California first, from carjackings to wildland fires.) I then took that extracted fire data and sent it, via TwitterFeed, to a new Twitter ID I created, which in turn I authorized to be sent directly to my mobile phone as SMS bulletins. The result? Live wildfire reports to my iPhone.
Relatedly, check the following map of all the currently active wildfire complexes in California. To have more than 800 hotspots out there is remarkable stuff, especially given that it's only the beginning of summer. (Click for a live zoomable version.)

Life Yesterday's Note From the Prayer Warrior
posted by November 14 at 11:45 AMon
For those wondering what the heck Pastor Ken Hutcherson was talking about yesterday when he told his Prayer Warriors that he'd had a meeting with Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, and others:
Yesterday was Microsoft's annual shareholders meeting. So Hutcherson only had a meeting with Bill Gates in the sense that anyone who owns one share of Microsoft (today trading at around $34/share) could have had a meeting with Bill Gates yesterdaya big, public meeting filled with other shareholders. Hutcherson made his comments not at a private sit-down with Microsoft executives, but during a shareholder Q&A session.
Someone in our comments who sounds like he was at the shareholders meeting described it this way:
Any stock holder can attend and speak at a stockholder meeting. So for the price of less than $40 you get into the room.
When they opened Q&A there was the customary pause caused by no one wanting to be first to speak. Hutch doesn't have the restraint of a well moderated ego so he stepped into the vacuum immediately. As Hutcherson spoke, only one person clapped out of the 500-600 people present.
Hutch has been trying to get the attention he craves but nothing has been working. His last resort is to fallback on the one thing that worked for him - baiting Microsoft.
Another stockholder asked what they could do to counter the hateful ideas and actions of people like Hutcherson. There was a more enthusiastic wave of applause in the meeting. Brad Smith, Microsofts General Legal Counsel, responded with this:
"As a company, we've had a clear policy with respect to the way we treat our people, and we believe in that policy. It's a policy that's founded on non-discrimination, it's a policy that we believe has served our employees well, it's served our shareholders well, and I think that was reflected last year when all of our shareholders were asked to vote on that policy, and over 97 percent of you and all of our other shareholders stood up and agreed with us. And I think that it is precisely in that form that shareholders have the opportunity to continue to make their views known, and we very much appreciate that support."
No Microsoft executive agreed to meet with him. Microsofts EEO policy in no way agrees with him.
Just another sad grab for PR from a man with a size 4 soul in a size 12 body.

It's a little crazy that Halloween is only two months away. I can't wait to start decorating my house with spider webs, ghosts and witches. Halloween is a sweet holiday (haha, punny!), and now that the kiddos are old enough to love trick-or-treating (hellllllo candy), it's only getting better! Last year I dressed up a witch, while Jamisen dressed up as Clifford and Lily was a pink poodle.
This year, I used the Stephenson Jelly Soap Base to create these Spooky Spider Soap Jellies. LabColors give the soap bright, translucent shades of green and purple. The soap is scented with Spellbound Woods and Applejack Peel Fragrance Oils. The little spiders are actually small plastic toys that are available for a limited time. They are great for many projects, including solid melt and pour and liquid soap. The legs on the spiders are a little poky, so wash with care. To use jelly soap, tear off a very small amount of the jelly and create a lather using a loofah or washcloth.

GOP Senate candidate lends his campaign $555,000
SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — Democratic Sen. Tom Udall has stockpiled more than $3 million for his re-election bid, but Republican challenger Allen Weh is dipping into [auth] personal money to jumpstart his campaign for the general election.
Weh, a former state GOP chairman, has lent his campaign more than a half million dollars in the past three months, allowing him to raise more money than Udall during that time, according to a Federal Election Commission finance report and a fundraising summary released by Weh's campaign.
Udall reported $3.4 million in his campaign account at the end of last month. Weh had a balance of $627,806.
Weh raised $905,266 from April through June, with $555,000 coming from personal loans. His campaign spent about $483,000.
Udall reported total receipts of $890,105 during the past quarter, and his campaign spent about $607,000.
Weh won the GOP nomination in a two-way race in the June primary election. Udall had no primary opponent.
Weh is a retired Marine colonel who owns a charter aircraft and leasing company in Albuquerque.
In the 2nd Congressional District, Democratic challenger Roxanne "Rocky" Lara raised more money in the past three months than Republican incumbent Steve Pearce. Pearce still maintains an overall cash advantage, however.
Pearce reported nearly $1.5 million on hand at the end of last month and Lara had $711,821, according to reports filed with the FEC.
National Democrats have targeted the congressional race in southern New Mexico in hopes of flipping the seat from GOP control.
Lara raised $375,018 from April through June, and Pearce had receipts of $289,201. Both ran unopposed in the June primary election.
Labor union political action committees contributed at least $55,500 to Lara, including $7,500 each from PACs of the International Association of Fire Fighters and the United Food and Commercial Workers.
Pearce's top contributors included the PAC of Union Pacific Corp., which gave $7,000. The company recently opened a large railroad hub in the district near the border community of Santa Teresa.
In the Albuquerque area's 1st Congressional District, Democratic incumbent Michelle Lujan Grisham reported a cash balance of $922,790 and Republican Michael Frese had $12,171.
Grisham raised $241,155, including about $52,000 from health care industry PACs. Frese had total receipts of $51,923, including a personal loan of $10,000. Frese, a Corrales business owner, won a two-way primary race. Grisham had no primary opposition.
In northern New Mexico's 3rd District of, Democratic incumbent Ben Ray Lujan had nearly $581,565 on hand, and Republican Jefferson Byrd had $9,113.
Lujan raised $242,868, including $39,000 from health care and medical industry PACs. Byrd, who lost to Lujan two years ago, collected $22,032, including $2,500 from rancher Thomas Mitchell III, of Albert, and $500 from state Sen. William Sharer, of Farmington.

Miserable, rainy conditions could not dampen the spirits of over 80 Divers, Scouts and their families on Sunday September 22 as they attacked Sasamat Lake for Project AWARE. For the fourth year in a row Langley Diving focused their biggest annual event on this urban lake in Port Moody BC.
A big mahalo goes out to the 40+ volunteers that spent the day removing debris from the beach and ocean!! The event was a phenomenal success with food, prizes for each participant & a great deal of debris removed.
Last Friday our staff, students and friends all pitched in to collect rubbish from the beach and sort it into various recycling bags. Lots and lots of plastics and other debris was removed from the beach.
We had another successful underwater cleanup on Saturday September the 21st. Eleven divers cleaned up different parts of Little Pond in Morton Park, Plymouth MA where we have conducted underwater cleanups at for many years. Each year the pond looks better and this year we were happy to see groups of small fish in different parts of the pond that we haven't seen before!
Many Thanks to all the volunteers that made a differece this weekend!
Clean-up event held at Gnejna Bay as part of international 'Dive Against Debris' initiative: 600Kg recovered from the seabed
Over 1,6 tons of garbage was picked from the beach. The elementary school picked over 200 kg alone. The winner of the day was Sea Quest with 390 kg of garbage. Thanks to all 116 pepole plus all the resorts who made this possible.
Да мы можем сохранить подводный мир. И это много зависит от нас. Если вы призадумаетесь хоть на секунду, в мире есть еще не тронутые человеком места, но с каждым годом таких местстановится все меньше и меньше. Вопрос ПОЧЕМУ? А ответ очень простой, там где появляется человек, всегда появляется много мусора, который загрезняет и губит прекрасный мир. Наша цель спасти этот мир. Давайте делать это вместе
We raised $400 through our BBQ & raffle at our annual Dive Against Debris event this weekend. We had some awesome weather and a great turnout - 45 attendees removed a lot of trash (including 77 golf balls and a full set of clubs. Clearly someone had a bad game).
Our new mesh bags were a big hit and so useful, we had several people ask to buy them.
We also held a few related specialty courses (buoyancy for example) and will issue some certs as part of our 100% AWARE partnership.
September being Debris Month of Action, candidates at the Kota Kinabalu Instructor Examination did their share during their Open Water session to clean up the unusual amount of trash that washed up on the beach due to the high tides of the month.
Thank you to IE candidates Mohsen Kariminia, Roberto De Cave, Hannah Gee, Liau Fung Yung, Rayner Petrus, Kaman NG, Samuel Gee, Course Directors Richard Swann and Chong Hion Hoak, PADI Examiner Mario Beaucage and all the staff at DownBelow for doing what everybody should do: Care for our environment and get involved.

text: Entertainment Gaming Asia An under-$10 stock that's starting to flirt with a major breakout trade is Entertainment Gaming Asia ( EGT), which engages in the ownership and leasing of electronic gaming machines in resorts, hotels and other venues, primarily in Cambodia and the Philippines. This stock is off to a red-hot start in 2012, with shares up over 225%. If you take a look at the chart for Entertainment Gaming Asia, you'll notice that this stock has been uptrending strong since it broke out in March above some resistance at 31 cents per share on high volume. Since triggering that breakout, shares of Entertainment Gaming Asia have soared and printed new highs. Within that move, this stock has been making higher lows and higher highs, which is bullish technical price action. Now EGT is flirting with another big breakout trade that could trigger a monster spike higher. >>12 Highest-Rated Consumer Stocks Picked by S&P Traders should now look for long-biased trades in EGT if it can manage to trigger a break out above some near-term overhead resistance at 75 cents with high volume. Look for volume on a sustained move or close above 75 cents that registers near or well above its three-month average action of 467,494 shares. If we get that action soon, look for EGT to tap $1.00 to $1.25 a share, or possibly even $1.75 if the bulls continue to move into this low-priced stock with big upside volume flows. Keep in mind that EGT could pull back towards some near-term support at 68 to 60 cents before it makes another run at taking out 75 cents. That said, as long as EGT is trending above 75 cents with strong upside volume flows, then this stock has a great chance of exploding much higher in the near future. Prev 1 of 6 Next

Quincy Herald Whig - Page 5
Lipstick Mania
Did you see the Parade Magazine in Sunday's Quincy Herald Whig? In it was a story about lipstick entitled "Hot Lips". I am writing this story primarily for my good friend B______, who shall go nameless to protect the guilty. According to the article, yesterday, July 29th, was National Lipstick Day.
Who Should Be the 3rd Judge at Idol?
OK, I just found out that Mariah Carey will be one of the judges for American Idol next season on Fox Television. She is replacing Jennifer Lopez. I suspect Jay-Lo will be getting a nice Christmas gift from Mariah for leaving the show.
Now that leaves one judge opening left to be filled to replace Steven Tyler who also left the show. It got me to thinking of some local people who should get a shot at being the replacement judge.

Every once in a while, like when the lottery is worth 620 million bucks, I buy a few tickets. To prove my point, I haven't purchased one since that mega drawing a few weeks ago.

Awwww so cute!
1 Month eh?
Make sure he gets to socialize with other dogs often over this first year.
I made the mistake of not letting the Amazing Milli Dog hang with other pups on the regular and she is socially awkward now b/c of it.
I will do my best. I might take him back to breeder from time to time so he can see his moma and I might get another pup next year.
you named your dog Milli Kurb? now that's a great fricken name for a dog right there!!!!!

Skip to comments.ABC News Special Report: Senator Ted Kennedy has died.
Posted on 08/25/2009 10:14:50 PM PDT by Gigantor
Senator Ted Kennedy has died.
I'll look forward to throwing one in a fountain or well. Or off a bridge.
thanks - that could have been his lowest moment....well, ONE of them.......
I went to a graduation where he was the speaker - he started out by ripping President Bush - the 1000 people in attendance began booing - he threw those papers down and spoke no more against the President.
Kennedy smears President Bush and our troops on the US Senate floor:
He described the Iraq war as a fraud made up in Texas as part of political strategy accused the President of the US of "telling lie, after lie, after lie", in order to go to war in Iraq.
It will have his head on one side (With a neck brace collar) and an Oldsmobile on the other.
Prayers for Senator Kennedy and his family.
I made no insults.
What about stating the truth? That should be allowed, even in the wake of a public person's death. Especially if that person did repulsing things.
I pray his family seeks God during this time.
Prayers for his family, it's a tough time.
He was a historical figure and a great man.
Couldn't disagree more about the 'great' designation. He was born into a very famous, wealthy, politically steeped family. That is not what makes one 'great.' Certainly not in God's eyes. The Scripture is clear on this matter.
I think we all understand human emotion regarding someone who has committed vile acts. I don't desire that for anyone beyond this life. Neither does God. That was why He came and walked among us as a human being. That was why He died. He lives.
And now we will get treated to a sickening barrage of MSM's accolades to this disgusting monster of a man. May justice be meted out to you now, Teddy, you pig.
He also died surrounded by his family. Mary Jo never had the chance to do the same.
There will be justice.
There is sort of an unsaid FR rule not to speak unkindly of the recently departed, but I hope Ted Kennedy rots in hell.
Hmmm... you make an interesting point. Obama is on Martha's Vineyard now, not far from Ted's Hyannisport compound, and right next to Chappaquiddick Island.
Of course, you cannot compare the two. Now Ted Kennedy is dead.
When I first heard, I remembered back to that time in 1968. And then I remembered sitting in an Italian restaurant, all of us were watching Ted Kennedy it must have been the 1980 Democratic National Convention in New York. I think he was congratulating President Carter. If I recall he was announcing his own campaign had come to an end.
So I decided to go find that speech, and I did.
Here are some outtakes from that speech:
Let us pledge that we will never misuse unemployment, high interest rates, and human misery as false weapons against inflation.
We must not permit the Republicans to seize and run on the slogans of prosperity.
The 1980 Republican convention was awash with crocodile tears for our economic distress, but it is by their long record and not their recent words that you shall know them.
The same Republicans who are talking about the problems of the inner cities have nominated a man who said, and I quote, "I have included in my morning and evening prayers every day the prayer that the Federal Government not bail out New York." And that nominee is no friend of this city and our great urban centers across this nation.
The same Republicans who are talking about security for the elderly have nominated a man who said just four years ago that "Participation in social security should be made voluntary." And that nominee is no friend of the senior citizens of this nation.
The demand of our people in 1980 is not for smaller government or bigger government but for better government. Some say that government is always bad and that spending for basic social programs is the root of our economic evils. But we reply: The present inflation and recession cost our economy 200 billion dollars a year. We reply: Inflation and unemployment are the biggest spenders of all.
The tax cut of our Republican opponents takes the name of tax reform in vain. It is a wonderfully Republican idea that would redistribute income in the wrong direction. It's good news for any of you with incomes over 200,000 dollars a year. For the few of you, it offers a pot of gold worth 14,000 dollars. But the Republican tax cut is bad news for the middle income families. For the many of you, they plan a pittance of 200 dollars a year, and that is not what the Democratic Party means when we say tax reform.
The President, the Vice President, the members of Congress have a medical plan that meets their needs in full, and whenever senators and representatives catch a little cold, the Capitol physician will see them immediately, treat them promptly, fill a prescription on the spot. We do not get a bill even if we ask for it, and when do you think was the last time a member of Congress asked for a bill from the Federal Government? And I say again, as I have before, if health insurance is good enough for the President, the Vice President, the Congress of the United States, then it's good enough for you and every family in America.
And may it be said of us, both in dark passages and in bright days, in the words of Tennyson that my brothers quoted and loved, and that have special meaning for me now: "I am a part of all that I have met To [Tho] much is taken, much abides That which we are, we are -- One equal temper of heroic hearts Strong in will To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield." For me, a few hours ago, this campaign came to an end.
. Well, now hes passed. And I also remember a bridge, and a car, and a girl.
I guess they will probably try to name the Health Care Bill after him. I wonder if that plan is going to be the same plan where whenever senators and representatives catch a little cold, the Capitol physician will see them immediately
I guess the Congress and the President will all be on the same plan as everybody else. I am a part of all that I have met. I actually met Ted Kennedy once, in D.C., he was walking down the sidewalk, no security. I already told that story once, and being now that he passed, I wont tell it again. Humor has a time and place.
But mostly barf inducing fawning and hero worship.
But never ONCE did they mention Chappaquiddick.
This is the way Camelot ends.
What was 'Camelot'? I think it was as imaginary as 'hope and change' and just as much a media creation. IMHO.
What he sowed in life, he shall now reap in death.
There are people who do not deserve any respect, alive or recently dead. Teddy the Lush was one of them.
Indeed. The joy tonight is not only knowing that he died without seeing his dream enacted - indeed, knowing that the odds against it were growing and that his selfishness might well be the thing to sink it in the end - but also in knowing that he suffered. Sometimes the world is a just place. He deserved so much more, alas.
Yep...that's how I'll remember him.
Does anyone find it odd that Obama chose to vacation in Kennedy's neck of the woods at this time?
And, that Kennedy supposedly wrote a letter just a few days ago?
Gosh! Tin foil is getting expensive. ;o)
I haven't been this busted up since Michael Jackson died.
fox threw it all out there for all to hear.
going on now again.
He pushed this national health care business right up to the end ... but he sure wasn't willing to have it for himself or his family. When he got the brain tumor diagnosis, he got the absolute best doctors and care money could buy. What he believed in was mediocre healthcare for you and me, and the best for himself and his family/peers.
When one Senator steps forward who is promoting this healthcare travesty and says that he will vote for it when it includes all of the Congress, then that Senator will have credibility. No way would that ever have been Ted Kennedy. The only ones I can even imagine ever doing anything like that would have been Paul Wellstone or Paul Simon, both now gone.
I wont pretend to feel any sorrow whatsoever at the long-overdue passing of this evil, evil man.
Hear, hear. This man has decided on his own reputation. Are we to lie about it post-humously, when he himself formed it?
No such luck.
I'm gonna go play some solitaire.
Ted Kennedy has the dubious distinction of being singularly responsible for more damage to the security and well being of the United States than any other person in modern history.
It was likely written by an aide of his as directed by someone high up in obama's administration, probably Rahm.
"This may sound heartless I know and cynical.....but honestly I believed this would happen while Obama was there."
I noticed that too. Reminds me of the timing of Obama's Grandma offing.
Heard the news @ work (I work a night job). Death pool,
maybe delayed till later in the week.
WBZ radio is running a fawning tribute to him from ABC News.
Meanwhile we know ol' Howie will have a respectful, dignified, and dare I say sober (!) tribute of his own.
Thankfully we still have Joe Kennedy. There will still be Wizard of Uhs contest. Sometimes.
"I hope Obama doesnt name the proposed Health Care bill after him and exploit that."
sheesh, I'll just bet he does!....sympathy vote.
Let's just leave it with Good Bye, Teddy and Godspeed, Eunice.
Before the Mass. legislature got around to changing the method of replacing a vacant senate seat.
Did you forget the sarcasm tag?
Anyway, RIH Ted.
Why would you think that? Just because the rotund-teddedy was Obama's key early supporter? Or that Obama needing the votes in the Senate had a 24/7 feedback back from the K-clan on the state of his benefactor's health and probable date of demise.
Wasn't there a news tidbit that Obama would not visit Teddy during the vacation?
An isolated island where all in view of the One have their cell phones and cameras confiscated for the very first time, what could be better for all the secret patronage and fealty meetings that have already started?
You're right, Camelot was made up. It was really the Kennedy Mystique. The following is an example.
"The bigger narrative of when Kennedy shuffles off this mortal coil is the end of "Camelot," that idyllic image of John, Bobby, Teddy and the rest of Kennedy clan playing touch football at the family's Hyannisport compound, of Jackie Kennedy's perfect pillbox hats and little JFK Jr. saluting his father's casket as it rolls by. This is the end of an era in American politics and history, despite how many of the next generation of the family are in public service. Ted Kennedy is the last tie to Camelot and has been the family's patriarch for 40 years. The nostalgia for that "simpler time" will come back full force".
The flip side is that of the "Kennedy Curse," which we will probably be hearing much about in the near future, as well.
Must we act like slackers that live in Mom's basement fantasizing about dating a real woman while working for minimum wage at Old Navy? We're real adults here, and most of us have more class in our pinkie finger than the whole lot of them.
Should we not speak the truth about this man's myth, while the SRM blares lies for two weeks, and then tries to manipulate it for the 'good of the country' (HR3200)? There's nothing unclassy about that, imho.
I pray peace for his family and Mary Jo's family.
Good riddance. May he rot in hell forever, especially in regards to what he did to Mary Jo. The world is a better place without him.
After arriving at his final destination and being informed that alcohol is prohibited, Kennedy just figured out he didn't get to ride the "up" elevator...
I wonder if Clinton will cry fake tears as he did at Ron Brown's funeral.
May 14, 1983 document from the KGB archives reveals that Senator Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) reached out to the General Secretary of the Soviet Unions Communist Party, Yuri Andropov, to propose a kind of public relations strategy to counter President Reagans defense policy initiatives toward the Soviet Union, policies that Kennedy felt were too aggressive.

Oh geez.
He doesn't stand the way you like on the Viaduct so now it's anti-Chopp.
Give it a break.
Oh geez.
He doesn't stand the way you like on the Viaduct so now it's anti-Feit.
Give it a break.
It's the mimic game!!
Another indication Chopp has been in office too long. Time for fresh leadership with some ideas.
I have a message for all you effete, elitist Seattle liberals who think you're so much smarter than Frank Chopp. You're a bunch of ingrates. If it weren't for Frank Chopp, you'd have a Republican house speaker trying to shove a new, elevated freeway down your throats. If it weren't for Frank Chopp, you'd have a Republican house speaker killing any chance of protecting homebuyers from shoddy construction.
And if any of you naive, little idealists in the 43rd District think that you can unseat Frank Chopp, you're delusional. Chopp has about as much chance of getting voted out of office as Vladimir Putin's handpicked successor has of losing Russia's next presidential election. I don't care if voters in the 43rd District agree with Chopp on only 10% of the issues and he faces a challenger who's 100% in sync with the same voters, the 43rd District will keep electing Frank Chopp again and again and again. Frank Chopp and the 43rd are a "'til death do us part" kinda marriage. You might say you want a divorce, you Capitol Hill bohemians, but you couldn't imagine life without Frank Chopp. In the words of another politician, "as long as it's inevitable, you might as well lie back and enjoy it."
Anyway, I'm just thankful that we have some Democratic leadership in Olympia that's able to focus on the real issues that matter to the real people in this state. And there's no bigger issue for the real Washington than whether the Democrats keep control in Olympia.
Cressona @ 5,
Effete, elitist, Seattle liberals??
Rep. Williams is from the Olympia-area.
Sen. Weinstein is from the suburbs.
And your hero, Frank Chopp? He was voted in by the "elitist" voters of the 43rd.
So, your point is... ???
5 -
I'm a real person. If I buy a home and two years after the purchase it starts crumbling as a result of shoddy construction, I should be able to take legal action against the builder.
Since when is consumer protection a cause for "effete, elitist Seattle liberals?" And if the only thing we can do with power is keep it, what's the point of fighting so hard to get it?
Jesse P @7, I don't know where to start. You seem to be operating under this wild assumption that we send legislators to Olympia to pass legislation that makes a tangible difference for the better in our lives. Wow! Were you just born yesterday? Are you one of these transplants who just moved to Washington and don't understand the way things work around here?
It's times like these I'm reminded of an inspiring line from a famous political speech. "Ask yourself not what Frank Chopp can do for you. Ask yourself what you can do for Frank Chopp."
Josh Feit @6: Effete, elitist, Seattle liberals??
Rep. Williams is from the Olympia-area.
Sen. Weinstein is from the suburbs.
And let's just see how long these Williams and Weinstein neophytes last in their districts. Maybe you can get away with looking out for the economic interests of your constituents in an over-educated, leisured-class place like Seattle, but I can guarantee you these guys are in for a nasty backlash from their own constituents.
Cressona @ 8,
And I repeat: Your hero, Rep. Frank Chopp was voted in by ... "over-educated, leisured-class" Seattle.
You're not making any sense, Cressona.
"Weinstein says Chopp doesnt want to alienate the BIAW"
i'm just some out-of -state effete liberal, but aren't there more homeowners than there are construction industry employees? what about the risk of alienating them?
Also, it's amazing I have to remind people of this. But hello! -- we have a housing crisis in the state of Washington.
The American dream is to live in a sprawling single-family home (a home that, in previous generations, would have been called a mansion). Shoddy construction is just one of the techniques builders are currently able to use to make this God-given American birthright affordable to the average working Joe. Anyone who tries to prevent builders from keeping prices down through shoddy construction is trying to deny regular folks the American dream.
What I don't understand is why Chopp would even want to help the BIAW. What did they do to help house Dems. If they had their way, he would be the last Dem in the house. On top of that, the Governor gave him a lot of rope on the viaduct and he returns the favor by help the same group that spent thousands to overturn her election.
Josh Feit: And I repeat: Your hero, Rep. Frank Chopp was voted in by ... "over-educated, leisured-class" Seattle.
And you see, this is where Frank Chopp's relationship with Seattle is like a marriage. You might tell your chick-lit-reading friends you're going to leave him, but in the end, you know you can't. There's a masculine quality about Frank Chopp's raw power that feminine liberals simply cannot resist. (This is much the same reason that Hillary Clinton will be our next president.)
I like how Feit is responding all of a sudden with this faux respectability. Rep. Chopp, Sen. Weinstein, Rep. Williams.
Everytime from now on it should be:
Oh Your Lordship, High One of Soothsaying, with Covenance of Unbounded Democracy, Our Reverent Spherical in Congression - Rep. and Messr. Chopp., please proceed.
Hmmm. So let me get this right. "If it weren't for Frank Chopp, you'd have a Republican house speaker killing any chance of protecting homebuyers from shoddy construction." You're right. Instead we have a Democratic house speaker killing any chance of protecting homebuyers. I fail to see how that is an improvement. And comparing Chopp to a corrupt Russian president and/or his hand-picked successor isn't exactly a rousing endorsement either.
Umm. Okay, after reading through all cressona's comments, I'm beginning to smell an April Fools joke.
Still, this is a serious subject. There are a lot of sleazy builders out there. It goes like this: They form a new private corporation before starting on construction of a new condo building or suburban subdivision. They build as cheaply as possible to maximize profits. A few years later they get hit with a big lawsuit over their shite construction, and they fold up the corporation, having long since funneled off all the money to the individual corporate officers (who are protected from individual liability by the corporation). You can sue the now-defunct and broke corporate shell all you want, but there are no assets, so you won't get anywhere. Meanwhile, they've already formed a new corporate shell for the next subdivision/condo building.
So I'd say a bit more regulation and consumer protection would be a good thing. Frank Chopp is being an ass. A Democratic politician who is in the pocket of a big business lobby is no better than a Republican in the pocket of a big business lobby.
As an over-educated, effete, elistist liberal, I'd like someone in office who can at least occassionally find his way to the correct side of an issue.
The correct side of an issue? That's crap, and in a lot of ways it's a No-Win situation. We wanted to make this point on the Avian Flu post, but obviously more people care about Mudede's movie career over a subject of consideration.
He includes the reality/hysteria of these words-
..treaty commitments to help poor countries deal with warming....millions of dollars on ways to limit climate and coastal hazards...
It's a No-Win situation. The amount of people you rouse to help poor countries will not exceed the industrial destruction of climates, coastal regions, etc. Continue dreaming and believing you are on the correct side of an issue, and save some room for dessert.
From the Seattle Times -
In 2001, Chopp held up approval of a new Tacoma Narrows Bridge because he opposed the plan to have a private company finance and build it. Instead, he wanted public financing, which he argued would be cheaper, and he stood up to Congressman Norm Dicks, legislative transportation leaders and others to get his way.
"I said you can't do the Narrows bridge unless you do public financing, which saved $1.2 billion,"
Chopp must get a terribly sweet deal from his builder...did anyone check records of a donation in the form of a house?
Does anyone ever bother to check whether Weinstein is telling the truth? The fact is Weinstein's claim that "Homebuilders are the only people in this state that cant get sued," is a flat-out lie. There isn't even any basis for this lie...homeowners can sue builders, and it is ridiculous for Weinstein to try to claim they can't. I challenge anyone to substantiate Weinstein's stupid LIE. He is clearly desperate and therefore resorting to desperate measures.
I'll respond to that challenge. First, I am absolutely floored at the number of people out there willing to vilify two of our chosen representatives (Weinstein and Williams) who are just trying to do the right thing for homeowners - give some basic rights! These guys aren't playing politics, they are trying to increase consumer protection not only for their constitutents, but all Washington homeowners.
The rights of single family homeowners in this state to pursue their builders for shoddy construction are extremely limited. First, you have to have a contract with your builder, which most new homeowners do not. Second, you have to have damages amounting to near collapse of your building or at least a serious threat to life or safety. 33 other states have better consumer protections for homeowners than Washington.
The FACT is that Frank Chopp killed a good bill for political reasons - to keep a good relationship with BIAW and other builders groups for the future - because BIAW is powerful. It is not about a single meal - at least one homeowners advocacy group raised money for Chopp's re-election thinking he supported homeowner rights. It's about the overwhelming disproprortionate amount of money that BIAW and other builders groups spend EVERY YEAR in Olympia - literally millions. Only the strongest of our representatives like Williams and Weinstein -- who believe more in representing their constituents than hoarding political capital -- are willing to make a stand against them.

Negligence that causes two deaths and the sentence is probation and a measly fine. Does that seem just to anyone?

I am heart broken for the family and very sad about the whole mess. But I am also very angry that attorneys are going to walk away from this mess with bulging pockets of money. My desire would be that every cent of settlement money go to the family. There is no question that the family is entitled to a huge amount of money. But no attorney should be allowed to take 30 or 40 percent or whatever.

GILMER (May 24, 2014) Eight dogs whose bloated carcasses were found in a creek south of Gilmer had scars and cuts that indicate they were used for dog fighting, authorities say.
Most of the animals were pit bulls used for fighting while the others were mixed breeds, including two small ones likely used as bait dogs.
Some of the bodies were found Friday in garbage bags.
The animals may have been in the creek for as long as a week.
Upshur County Constable Gene Dolle described the cruelty involved in the deaths as "mind-boggling."
He says the discovery coupled with the smell was nauseating.
Authorities were seeking the public's help in identifying suspects.
