Day 9 :- Return from Leh.Long Itinerary:
Altitude 11,400 ft.
Stay in guest house.
Keep your woollen cap and gloves handy.
Flying over miles and miles of heavily snowed mountains will tell you just why it's impossible to reach Ladakh by road in the winters. The moment you land at the Leh airport, one of the highest airports in the world, you will feel the fresh and crisp air, and a drastic drop in the temperature. The town has just begun shedding off the thick winter slumber and is slowly coming to life. Taking a stroll through the Leh market, you will find that very few shops and eateries in the town are open for business; but if required, some last minute-shopping for the trek can be done here. The chill in the air will serve only as a preview of the temperatures during this winter trek. The night is spent in a copy guest house.
11,400 to 10,390 ft.
Drive 65 kms.
Stay in tent.
You can start the morning by witnessing the sunrise from the Shanti Stupa , from where you can get a panoramic view of the entire town of Leh and its surroundings. You can also see the peak of Stok Kangri almost beckoning you to climb it.
But today's agenda includes a very picturesque and thrilling long-drive to Chilling. The roller-coaster ride takes you along the Indus to the village of Nimu, where the Zanskar converges into Indus. After stopping at this confluence point to take in the view, the drive continues and the road begins descending right into the river valley. There are quite a few heart-stopping moments as the vehicle negotiates the steep hairpin bends over snow covered road. The road goes past Chilling to Tilad Do. Among these mammoth mountains, the feeling of insignificance of one's being does not escape anyone.
To reach the camp-site, you have to cross the frozen Zanskar river and this is when you take your first steps on the Chadar. It takes a while to get a hang of walking on the ice sheet. As the evening comes, the team pitches tents on the banks of the Zanskar, and hands out thick warm sleeping bags. To get some exercise and keep warm, you can climb up the nearby mountains and get a good look at the frozen river. As the sun sets, it drags the temperature down with it, and the sleeping bags in the tents look quite inviting.
10,390 to 10,550 ft.
Trek 10 kms.
Stay in tent.
The biggest challenge of this day, and all the remaining days, is to get out of the warm toasty sleeping bags and go out into the giant freezer outside, but the steaming cups of tea being served provide ample motivation.
Today is a long walking session, about 10 km, on the Chadar. The trek leaders . give a briefing about the day, and give tips on how to walk on the Chadar. Depending on the weather, the Chadar can assume various forms. It can be a cold and hard surface of slippery ice, or it can have a dusting of snow over it, providing a good grip. The ice can be thick or thin, and its best to keep closely following the guide. The locals, it appears, have a sixth sense as to where exactly to step on theChadar. At places, it might be necessary to wade through ankle deep water, or climb on the cliffs at the side of the river. Eventually you get used to walking on the Chadar, which looks like a cross between gliding and skating. Mid way to Gyalpo, the porter-cum-cooks prepare hot bowlfuls of soupy noodles for lunch. It is important to keep up a decent level of fluid intake. Nothing makes you adapt to the conditions faster than nicely circulating blood in your system.
After passing Shingra koma, you reach the camp-site for the day at Gyalpo. The Gyalpo campsite is at a bend in the river, surrounded by high peaks and walls of rock-faces which almost look man-made. All that is left to do is to soak in the views, have an early dinner and call it a day.Day
10,550 to 10,760 ft.
Trek 15 kms.
Stay in tent.
This day follows the same early morning routine: bed tea at 7, breakfast at 8, and quick-march at 8:30. Have a good breakfast, as today is the longest walk of the day – almost 15 km. But that is nothing to worry about, all the walking keeps you incredibly warm.
Today's walk through the deep ravines of the Zanskar is stunning. The sublime walls of the mountains on either sides of the river keep the sunlight away from the Chadar for most part of the day. There are numerous caves in these mountains, big and small. Today is the day when you can see frozen waterfalls, some higher than the others. As the fable goes, centuries ago the local villagers faced a dearth of water and went to Tibet to plead for water. They were given a box which they were to open once they reached the village, and not any time sooner. But curiosity got the better out of them, and when they opened the box, two fishes jumped out of it, creating two huge waterfalls. One of those waterfalls, miraculously, is not iced-up even in such freezing cold. The rocks below this waterfall are covered with moss, and this is the only greenery you'll see on this trek.
At Tibb, there is a big cave. This cave is the dwelling of all the porters, and they welcome you warm-heartedly in here. The highlight of the day is to share a cup of butter-tea with them!
10,760 to 11,150 ft.
Trek 12.5 kms.
Stay in tent.
Attraction Frozen waterfall.
Today is the most spectacular of all days on this trek. Walking on the river you cross deep gorges and reach a point where Juniper trees are covered with prayer flags. The porters give you a twig of this tree tied with a piece of prayer flag as a badge of good-luck and good-health. A few steps away stands the mother-of-all frozen waterfalls – a huge instance of suspended animation several feet tall and equally wide. You can see dozens of colours in this enormous ice structure as sunlight plays off its surface. Right next to the waterfall is a bridge across the river which is a part of the summer-time road from Zanskar to Leh.
The Naerak village lies several feet above the river, a vigorous hour-long trek can take you to the village if you want to see the life of a Zanskari. The camp is set up close to the river.Day 6 :- Naerak to Tibb Cave.
11,150 to 10,760 ft.
Trek 12.5 kms.
Stay in tent.
Today you start the return journey and go back to the Tibb cave. And if you thought that it was just a matter of retracing your steps back to Chilling, you can think again. The Zanskar River reacts to the slightest change of temperature, and constantly keeps repackaging itself. The Chadar would have assumed a completely new form, and will it will almost be impossible to say whether you have been here before.
On the way, you can meet a lot of locals wearing their traditional woollen Gonchas – some of them monks who are hiking from the Lingshed Monastery to Leh, some of them young students accompanied by their parents returning to their schools in Leh after the winter vacation. Watching the locals negotiate the Chadar is a fascinating sight. They are suitably adept to the climate and seem very much at home in the sub-zero temperature and the biting cold winds. Nothing wipes the smiles off their faces and dampens the warmth of their spirit.Day 7 :- Tibb Cave to Shingra Koma.
10,760 to 10,550 ft.
Trek 15 kms.
Stay in tent.
Starting from Tibb, go up to Gyalpo today. The high walls of mountains rising from the sides of the river almost look like castle walls. You can see several trails of pug-marks all along the trek – footprints belonging to foxes, ibex or snow-leopards. You would be lucky to view a snow-leopard; but you can almost be sure that you are being watched by one all the time.Day 8 :- Shingra Koma to Tilad Do and drive to Leh.
10,550 to 10,390 and drive to 11400 ft.
Trek 10 kms.
Drive 65 kms.
Stay in guest house.
This is the last day of treading on the Chadar – the last chance to immerse in the pristine beauty of the frozen river. Once you reach Tilad Do, it is time to say good-bye to the Zanskar and the Zanskaries. Our team and our porters will take good care of you and make this trek one of the most memorable experiences for you. Tonight you get to sleep in a warm guest-house again.Day 9 :- Return from Leh.
As this unforgettable journey gets over, you depart from Leh having a newfound respect for the Zanskaries who brave all odds and survive with style in their beloved land. This trek also leaves behind a tremendous feeling of accomplishment – one of having undertaken and endured an extraordinary and challenging trek. The Chadar trek will be a cherished memory for life.Inclusions :-

A Unique Experience
The Chadar Trek 2018 will provide the participants with an opportunity to experience the mesmerizing beauty of the majestic snow covered Himalayas at close quarters. Trekkers can enjoy the thrill of walking on ice, climbing on icy rocks, spending nights in caves and the beauty of the ever changing Chadar, which make for a truly unique experience.
The 9 day long trek is extremely refreshing and relaxing as the participants take up the challenges presented by nature and overcome them in a successful manner. In fact, the Chadar lake trek is an absolute must for people who have a flair for high altitude trekking and are willing to take up the challenges of this most difficult trek.
Frozen River Trek 2017
Best Time To Undertake Chadar Trek
Even though the Zanskar River starts freezing from the month of November itself, the ice does not actually become solid and b enough to bear the weight of the trekkers, until at least another few months. That is why the best time to enjoy Chadar trek in safe manner is from 15th January to the end of February. With the frozen river confined within a steep canyon for a major part of the trek, even a slight weakness in the ice blanket can lead to a major catastrophe, which is why it advisable to not undertake the trip before the mid of January or after the last week of February. By this time the river freezes into a beautiful sheet of ice and the trekking trail becomes surrounded by pristine white snow clad mountains, giving the entire trail a heavenly look and appeal.
The Average Temperature
Since the Chadar Trek is conducted only in winters, it is quite natural for the temperatures to be extremely low. The average temperature during daytime is no more than 15-20 degrees and as the night falls, the temperatures drop down further to -25 to -30 degrees. In order to survive in such harsh conditions, the trekkers need to not only be physically and mentally fit but also carry the right kind of clothing and footwear for the trip. It is advisable to for the trekkers to bring along their warmest jackets and sleeping bags along with a nice warm pair of snow shoes.

Click Here for 2019 Qualifying Sprint & Interval Schedules - Updated 12/3/2018
NEW - Heading Policy (U11 and younger) - Click Here
Welcome to the The Soccer Officials of Tennessee (SOT) website!
The 2018 SOTN Advanced Referee Clinic will be held at Christian Brothers High School, Memphis, TN., on 4 August, 2018.
Our lead instructor will be Arthur "Chip" Reed, U.S. Soccer National Referee Coach, retired FIFA Assistant Referee and MLS Assistant Referee, and SOTN's own FIFA referee, Brooke Mayo.
There will be more information pertaining to the clinic including registration, start time and hotel info. Please check the link on the SOTN website homepage for additional info as we get closer to the date. The fitness test will not be conducted.
For the past three years SOTN has held two clinics in different cities. Having two clinics is a large undertaking from both a logistical and staffing perspective.
Going forward the clinic will be rotated around the state with 2019 being held in Knoxville and 2020 in Nashville.
As a reminder, the clinic will be open to all SOTN members but is required of all referees grade 7A, State 5/6. If a referee cannot attend the SOTN clinic I'm able to approve an out of state clinic to count as advanced training for 2019 recertification.

Instead, follow the instructions you have or will have received from Brady regarding how to register as a referee for 2019.

On Friday we started our Candy Heart Experiment. We had three clear cups. In one we put soda, another was vinegar, and the last one was water. We made some predictions and talked about the words dissolve, float, and sink. Here is what it looked like right after we started:
Within minutes some hearts that floated decided to sink and visa versa. We also noticed color starting to come off right away. The students were able to look at it throughout the rest of the day. Here is what it looked like right after dismissal:
Looks like the candy hearts in the soda will be completely gone when we come back on Tuesday.

you have probably read my blogs in the past mentioning my dog maggie; this is her! monday is her fourth birthday...don't let her bit of gray fool you :) she has been my little buddy for the last 4 years and i so enjoy having her around. she has even become a member of the whole family, being titled 'grandpuppy' by my mom and dad (who by the way were not dog people before her).
when i got her i wasn't expecting to learn anything from her, afterall, she's an animal. however, i have gleaned so much from this little canine and i thought i'd share some main points with you:
1. be careful when someone comes to the door, but once you know it's someone you like, be VERY EXCITED to see them. they are there to see YOU afterall.
2. cuddle with the people you love.
3. be willing to learn new things. especially when there is a treat at the end of your lesson.
4a. the simple act of being yourself is endearing
4b. the simple act of being yourself and doing what you were created and gifted to do brings worship to God.
5. whenever someone says 'you wanna go outside?' (or to a movie, game, etc) DO IT!
6. loyalty is very important
7. say hello to everyone you meet
8. to really get to know someone, you have to be open, vulnerable and willing to be a little uncomfortable (butt-sniffing comes to mind, though please let's leave that to the dogs)
now, there are a lot of other lessons i have learned from maggie, but these are some of the basics. i have also learned what it might be like for our Heavenly Father to deal with us...you parents out there can draw the same lesson from your relationship with your children. when she does something over and over again that she's not supposed to do, or she destroys something of mine, of course i am upset. in the end though, i still love her and want to see her do 'the right thing' a.k.a. not pee on the floor.
i am very thankful for maggie and her simple companionship. there have been times where she's the only 'friend' i felt i had, and she has been a great help to me through my times of intense anxiety.

Patient Safety Week, observed March 12-18 this year, is an annual national campaign to foster education and increase awareness related to patient safety.
Daily special patient safety activities across the medical campus will be held Monday, March 13, through Friday, March 17. All facilities of UHealth – the University of Miami Health System will offer educational resources and informational materials for patients and staff. In addition, our centers and clinics will host a number of activities emphasizing patient safety and quality improvements.
"The most fundamental right every patient has to receive is safe and compassionate care," said Michael E. Barron, M.D., Chief Medical Officer of UHealth. "The safety and security of knowing that their health care will be provided free of preventable harm is our highest priority. Patient Safety Week allows us to showcase many of our patient safety initiatives across the entire health system and is a reminder that everyone at UHealth has a role to play every day. We welcome the experiences and ideas of everyone as the week unfolds."
To kick off Patient Safety Week, Melinda Sawyer, M.S.N., RN, the assistant director of patient safety at the Armstrong Institute for Patient Safety and Quality at Johns Hopkins University, will discuss the implementation of the Comprehensive Unit-based Safety Program (CUSP) into the UHealth system. Sawyer will explain how CUSP supports other quality and safety tools, describe the CUSP framework and the goals of the CUSP tool kit, and how to apply the CUSP tool kit in a clinical environment, and aid in a discussion of the effects of errors and patient harm and the underlying causes of error. Her presentation will take place Monday, from 10 a.m. to noon, at the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute Berrocal Auditorium.
"Health care providers have historically entered the field due to a strong desire to make lives better," said Myka Whitman, B.S.N., RN, interim UHealth Chief Risk Officer. "That motivation now is fundamentally tied to ensuring that, while making the lives of our patients better, we also are committed to ensuring that our system is safe and predictable for each patient. Patient safety is the foundational block in the pyramid of patient experience at UHealth. Empowering the voice of our front line providers — encouraging them to speak up and report patient safety concerns — represents the first crucial step on our path to success."
A schedule of Monday's Patient Safety Week activities at the Miller School and UHealth appears below. Each day has one of the National Patient Safety Goals as its theme. We will post a report of the day's activities and a schedule of the following day's activities each day next week.

Checking in here, I find a few kind comments and only the one post so far this year, from January. That's perfectly disgraceful! Call myself a blogger! Etc.
So I will be posting any second now.
Some keen observation around these parts makes me doubt the scientific validity of 'any second now.' You would think that 'any second' genuinely means any second, and that the word 'now' would skew the probability to favour sooner seconds rather than later seconds. But I have heard people say they will get up any second now, or tackle their homework any second now, and experience tells me that they are implicitly excluding the early range of available seconds, thus ruining the necessary randomness suggested by the word 'any.'
Sometimes I have not seen the actual getting up take place for hours, or the actual homework for days.
But I guess what happened is that I got caught up in all the 2017 hoo-ha about President David Brent taking office in the USA and got with the zeitgeist, becoming vegan and crusading against plastic and trying to uphold rights, and indeed I am still busy with all that, and hope you are too, but these are my elevenses.
And I will be posting any second now.

At the beginning of the month I told you that I (okay, my dad) finally hung my giant Swedish map above my sofa in my living room. It was awesome to finally get that thing out of hiding, but there was one that irked me. . . those darn brackets that my hold it up without causing any damage were just plain ugly!
So I set out to pretty them up a bit -
It didn't take much, just two little wooden rectangles from the craft store and some hot glue. I know it sounds silly, but it just looks more finished with those cheap little wooden pieces hiding the brackets.

NEW YORK, July 1 (Reuters) - Sprint Nextel Corp must face a lawsuit brought by New York state accusing the company of deliberately not collecting or paying millions of dollars of taxes for its cell phone service, a judge has ruled.
In a decision made public on Monday, New York Supreme Court Justice O. Peter Sherwood denied a motion by Sprint to dismiss the lawsuit.
Sherwood, however, dismissed a conspiracy claim against Sprint and ruled that certain claims applying to periods before March 31, 2008 are barred by a three-year statute of limitations.
A Sprint spokesperson did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment.
The lawsuit brought by New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman was the first tax enforcement action filed under the state's False Claims Act.
Under the False Claims Act, whistleblowers may be eligible to receive up to 25 percent of any money recovered by the government as a result of information they have provided.
Based on whistleblower information, Schneiderman alleged in the lawsuit that Sprint failed to bill customers for more than $100 million in taxes for its wireless services over seven years.
He said Sprint's decision not to collect and pay taxes was part of a nationwide effort by the Overland Park, Kansas-based company to lure customers from rivals such as AT&T Inc and Verizon Wireless, and make its service $4.6 million less expensive per month.
The lawsuit seeks three times the amount of underpaid tax, plus penalties.
A spokesman for Schneiderman applauded the ruling in a statement, saying it "sends a message that tax dodgers will be exposed and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law."


text: In module 7 we learned about epistemology. So how do we know if something is true, and what does it mean for something to be true? Something that is objectively true is like oil and water. These two do not mix, and we know that this is true because we have tested this theory multiple times, and multiple cases have all determined that oil and water do not mix. These two liquids completely stay apart when tried to mix together. When something is true it means that this theory or thought has been proven and there is evidence to support this claim to make it true. There has to be some type of supporting evidence to make a claim true, it may have some truth behind the situation but if it has not been supported it is not considered completely true. Why is using the mind better that using the senses from a rationalist point of view and what is good about rationalism? From a rationalist point of view it is better using our mind rather than just the senses because it is based on reason and something that has been proven to be true before. Rather than using senses that have doubting people in certain situations. The good about rationalism is that we are getting a definite answer of something that has been proven to have truth behind it, rather that something that may or may not be true. I know myself for instance I would rather have the evidence to support the claim so I know this has been proven before and it is the right thing to do. Like at work for example I am always looking at the regulation on how to do things so I am completely sure I am doing it the right way, instead of asking someone how to do it and they can be wrong. Or I even look at past situations to see how the situation was handled. From the empiricist point of view using the senses is better than using the mine because this is the way you gain knowledge by having real world experiences rather than believing what someone else is saying. Basically generating your own ideas, and what you know to be proven because you have seen it before or have done it before. The good about empiricism is that it gives you the experience to see things for how you see it rather than someone else. Descartes could not just trust his senses for knowledge of the world because they have proven him wrong before such as the example of him sticking his hand into hot water and then warm water his senses tricked him into thinking the warm water was actually cold. I believe he wants to start a new system of knowledge that starts separate from the knowledge given to you by your senses because we always learn more than out senses can actually teach us from other people, experiments, or even past experiences. What are the strong and week points on Humes empirical argument? I believe the strong parts are the relations of ideas, matters of fact, impressions, and ideas. These are things that can be proven. Grass is supposed to be green but it could be dying so it may be turning brown or the sky is always blue, but the sun could be going down so it could be pink. This is a fact. The week points to me are the got God? And got soul? Although these things can not be seen it comes from a higher power and belief so although there is no definitive proof that there is a such thing as God or a soul these are things that are more than that to people. These are things that mean more to people than meets the eye, it's a belief to people and a faith. It gives people something to look forward to.

BATON ROUGE – On the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the legendary ship, the LSU Union Theater presents "Titanic, the Musical" on Wednesday, Oct. 10, at 7:30 p.m. as a part of the LSU Union Theater Presents Great Performances Series.
Winner of five Tony Awards, including best musical, best book and best score, "Titanic" is the story of the launching, the maiden voyage, the collision with the iceberg and the sinking played out against the background of the rigid class-distinctions of the Edwardian age, a tale of recounted dreams, hopes and aspirations of those aboard the fateful ship.
Featuring a cast of 26, the contemporary musical presents the story of one of America's greatest tragedies with exceptional music, outstanding choreography and impressive scenic design in a powerfully moving production.
Traveling on this colossal ship on its maiden voyage meant a crossing among the very rich and famous of the time, a chance to go to the "new world" to find fortune or to partake in a social extravaganza among friends. Unaware of the fate that awaits them, the third class immigrants dream of a better life in America, the newly-enfranchised second class dream of achieving the lifestyles of the rich and famous and the millionaire-barons of the first class dream of their hegemony lasting forever.
The ship itself, a dream deemed to be life-protecting and unsinkable by the ship's architect Thomas Andrews, journeys into legend in the hands of its captain, owner and crew as a stoker, a lookout and a telegraph operator reveal from their perspectives why Titanic was going too fast, saw the iceberg too late and could not summon help to arrive in time. Sadly, at the end of the day, all find that money, class and all the dreams in the world meant nothing to the power of the sea when it claimed the sadly crippled "unsinkable" ocean liner.
Tickets are $36-$44 and may be purchased online at www.uniontheater.lsu.edu or by contacting the Union Theater box office at 225-578-5128. For further information or group discount pricing, please contact Terry Serio, assistant theater director, by phone at 225-578-6013 or by email at email@example.com.

So, anyway, I follow Gail Simone on Twitter, right? Last week, she re-tweeted a link to a Today Show story about Benjamin Austin, a three year old boy who has recently been diagnosed with cancer. Benjamin loves superheroes, and his family thought it might be nice for him to receive sketches of superheroes in the mail as a little pick-me-up. According to the Today Show story, his morale is presently strong, but of course as treatment goes on, that often wanes.
I've done some sketching off and on over the years and I've done my fair share of superheroes, so this seemed like something I ought to do. Like you, I see myriad requests from people for all manner of things on a daily basis, but I'm rarely able to offer any of the kind of material support they need. A sketch, though, is well within my skill set. Plus, I'm in a fairly good place these days regarding my mental health and I know I got here with a lot of help from a lot of people. I feel a certain compulsion (obligation would have the wrong connotation to use here) to try to circulate some positiveness in return now that I'm better able to do so.
Anyway, I pulled out one of my sketchbooks, just thumbing through to find a blank page. I hadn't even settled on a character choice; I figured something would come to me once I was staring at the paper. I never got that far, because along the way, I ran across a sketch I did eight years ago that I forgot I ever did.
We go back to 15 April 2008 at this point in our story, Dear Reader, to a time when I was hospitalized with a bowel obstruction. In an effort to while away the time, and give myself something a little enjoyable to do, I decided to try my hand at sketching Superman in the style of Joe Shuster, the artist who co-created and designed the character in 1938. I'd never done a Shuster Superman. I discovered that his art style, which appears fairly simplistic, required a surprising amount of patience and attentiveness. Surely, the frustration of being in a hospital bed factored into my difficulties, but it took me about two hours to complete. I felt it turned out well, and I seldom feel that way about my sketches.
As soon as I came face to face with this piece, I realized it had to be the piece I sent young Benjamin Austin. It just felt right, you know? I wrote a little note (typed, not handwritten, because even my own physician has a hard time reading my writing and you know it's bad when it's too illegible for a doctor) explaining that I'd drawn this when I was "sick" (no need to elaborate) and that it made me feel a little better when I drew it and that I hoped it might make him feel a little better now.
I'm under no illusions that this little sketch will have any real meaning, beyond possibly a few moments of "Hey, that's Superman!" recognition enthusiasm before he moves on to some other sketch. Those few moments, though, give purpose to the sketch; a purpose I never envisioned when I made it.
As I said, I often discount the things that I've done. I seldom recognize that they have any value. And that, I think, is why this admittedly little thing has resonated with me as much as it has. It's a reminder that my perspective on the value of my doings is, shall we say, skewed. It's also a reminder that even if it's a small thing, I am capable of making contributions here and there.
If you'd like to send a sketch of your own, the mailing address provided by the Today Show article is:
Benjamin AustinIn any event, what I hope you take away from this post is to be more aware of your own toolkit, whether it be things you've already done that can be made to be helpful to others, or the application of an aptitude that you may take for granted.

Mountaintop, PA 18707
Here's a scan I made of the sketch, to which I added the caption and signature before mailing. (It didn't occur to me until after I'd signed it that I dated it 2016 without noting that it was presented to him this year, not illustrated this year, but whatever. It's not like this is museum-bound.)

There is a Planning, Land Use, and Sustainability (PLUS) Committee meeting tomorrow and members of LUOA, the Cascade Neighborhood Council, and Mirabella will be presenting some alternatives to the PLUS Committee. This is, by the way, a public meeting and public comments will be taken at 9:30am. (Here is a link to the agenda.)
Interestingly, City Councilmember, Richard Conlin (also Chair of the PLUS Committee) released what he calls "Seven Realities" of the the proposed rezone of South Lake Union. At first glance, these "realities" might appear to be well thought out but, in actual reality, they are highly rationalized claims that belie the facts:
- South Lake Union is an Urban Center and the proposed density implements Seattle's Comprehensive Plan.
Yes, SLU is one of the 6 Urban Centers of Seattle — and likely one with the most room for growth currently. What Councilmember Conlin fails to mention is (1) current zoning in SLU is sufficient to meet the required 125% of the growth target through the 2024 Comprehensive Plan and (2) the growth targets for 2031 have not yet been approved by City Council and are not yet published. Conlin's indication that "this rezone will shape the neighborhood for the next hundred years" implies to us that the scope of this rezoning proposal is largely overkill which, in today's market, might just be perpetuating boom and bust cycles long into Seattle's future.
- This zoning proposal is endorsed by the South Lake Union Community Council, the designated stewards of the South Lake Union Neighborhood Plan.
While LUOA supports and respects the work of SLUCC, they are not the only voice for South Lake Union. It should also be noted that the SLUCC Board is very heavily weighted with real estate developers, architects, members of the Associated General Contractors of Washington, etc, whose interests often slant in one direction.
- The proposed zoning embodies the principles of good urban form.
It's difficult to decide where to begin here! Conlin says the building height "tapers" from 400′ to 240′ but this is not so. Tapering (a gradual step-down) is actually what we want but, what happens is, after one block (along Denny) the 400′ height limit instantly drops to 240′ and remains there all the way to the lake. (We covered all that in our previous post.) The "100 foot drop in elevation between Denny and Mercer" is not necessarily "false" but it's kind of a stretch. It's only the furthest SE corner of SLU (after you go up the steep hill on Denny toward the freeway) that creates this 100′ difference. The bulk of the neighborhood is actually very gradual, lying between an elevation of about 35′ to 85′ — or, about half of what Conlin points out. Most importantly however, "good urban form" in Seattle has always included a step-down in building height as you approach our landmark bodies of water. The proposed heights along the lake front in SLU (240′) offer NO step-down and are even higher than what is allowed at the waterfront downtown. West of Western is zoned for 160′ through the downtown core, dropping off to 85′ north (roughly) of University and south of Columbia. Why, then, the extra 50% in South Lake Union? (This question may be answered in #4 below.)
- Public views are protected; the City does not – and should not – decide who gets private views.
The people with current criticisms of the rezoning proposal have, indeed, mentioned views throughout their conversations over the years. However, it has always been the idea of preserving public views in the form of designing a built environment that augments Seattle's natural environment, preserving the beauty of Seattle for all to see. The only people mentioning ideas like "the preservation of private views" are the actual proponents of the proposed rezone (developers, et.al.) who misunderstand or contort the criticism they receive. That said, Conlin's defensive statement that "Protecting private views would require the City to make choices elevating the rights of one property owner over another" seems, actually, to be what is happening — Conlin appears to be choosing to grant exclusive rights to permanent, private views to those with the most money in the front row!
- The residential towers on the Mercer blocks will have positive impacts on Lake Union Park.
The basis of his argument here only holds if the options are limited to either (a) current zoning or (b) the current rezoning proposal. This is not the case. There is plenty of middle ground on the table.
- The South Lake Union proposal includes a comprehensive transportation package that will improve travel in the neighborhood.
These comments are the same thing residents of SLU have been hearing for years. Actual experience tells a dramatically different story. Exactly when is it that we're supposed to start believing this?
- There are significant benefits for affordable housing.
Yes, there are benefits, and those benefits can exist equally with moderation to the proposed rezone.
Conlin's Conclusion:
The City Council should consider modest adjustments that would strengthen the proposed rezone, but should endorse the major elements of the proposal.
At face value, that sounds like a statement that LUOA could get behind. We are all in favor of changes to zoning and we like the major elements of the proposal. We do, however, question the motivation behind certain aspects of the current proposal. Most notably the lack of a step-down in height toward Lake Union and the dramatic increase in bulk of the buildings at the waterfront.
The changes we have to propose tomorrow are modest and, we believe, would add substantial value to the overall outcome.
We'd love to see you at the Special Meeting tomorrow, if you can attend:
Thursday, December 13, 2012, 9:30 a.m.

Light makes our home. Waking to blue, sliding on grey, dark indigo and back to more boreal azure... By the time we stopped at the top of my favourite hill, I looked towards the Atlantic, laced in grey silk. A front would re-paint our afternoon sky; the land down to the ocean hides all the passible treasures from spring. There in the land of the raven... Miles of mires, mirrors and dreams.
Light disappears nearly as fast as a galloping horse...
Everything changes. Birds turn silent as the wind talks. We all find shelter where we can... Under a patch of tussock grass, behind stone walls.
And then we hope it will not last.
And then I'm back in Arcania.
from the heights of Arcania,
where west wind rules this ravens' land,
I live inside this rainbow sky
and watch rain come.
They say
2.5 miles till you reach out to horizon;
our sun dazzles patches of black,
mane of a maid tangled in kelp men don't believe in any more...
And feel the shapes of scissor-cliffs,
green pinnacles lost in a soup
ruled by a greater cosmic clock,
as I look downto find you asleep in the sand.

San Rafael Park-and-Ride Lot Closures
July 12 - August 2, 2009
View Map
On Sunday, July 12, Caltrans will close the first of three Park and Ride Lots on Hetherton Avenue in San Rafael. The lots will be closed, in succession, for approximately one week each. The closures will permit Caltrans crews to perform some much-needed repairs to the asphalt and striping. As the closures will result in decreased capacity, commuters are advised to use other Park and Ride lots, such as those on north side of Mission Avenue, Lincoln Avenue, and Smith Ranch Road.
Caltrans truly appreciates your patience and understanding during this work, and will do all it can to complete the work as quickly as possible. This temporary inconvenience will result in a smoother and safer parking lot.
Commuters with questions may contact the Caltrans Public Information Officer Robert Haus at (510) 286-5576. You may also visit www.dot.ca.gov/dist4 or call 511.
