The Harbor District is the main one with no results until after the pools close at 8pm. The Marina Center I guess is a forgone conclusion by the opposition, Democracy Now and Humboldt Paykeeper( Baykeeper) haven’t even twittered the event. Not even a live blogging by Heraldo and sidekicks.
Thanks to the Marina Center for keeping the community informed on this one.
Dear Marina Center Supporters,
Thank you for your continued support of the Marina Center project. Tonight at 6 pm the Eureka City Council will consider the approval of the Coast Development Permit, which would allow environmental clean up on the Balloon Track to move forward. Hopefully this will be the last time for a while that this matter before them.
It is more important than ever to have our supporters attend the City Council meeting and let them know, without a doubt, that you want this property cleaned up.
The worst case scenario for Eureka, if this is passed, is that the property will be cleaner. Debris and garbage will be removed, storm water will no longer run into the bay and we get 11 acres of restored wetlands as well as provide 40 badly needed, good paying jobs.
We have been sued for not cleaning up this property and now are being threatened with a lawsuit by the same people because we want to clean it up.
Please come show your support for the clean up of the Balloon Track for the Marina Center Project.
We hope to see you tonight.
Thank you,
I hate waiting for results.
9:23pm: Well elections website has crashed. Hank got results. Wilson, and Marks so far.
10:19pm: ok elections website is back up
Measure A in Mendocino looks to be rejected. That was the former Masonite plant in Ukiah redevelopment. Maybe it can be now developed with industry that will use the railroad.
Final election night results:
MIKE WILSON 2,680
DAN HAUSER 1,023RICHARD MARKS 1,268
JOHN ASH 957
SUSAN PENN 447
TS article on election results. While I’m disappointed on Wilson winning, I’m happy that Marks won, just because he has an open mind on things, and Heraldo’s pick in that race was last.
TS article, Eureka approves Marina Center costal development permit 4-1. Amazing it wasn’t 3-2.
Other news, is Maine rejected gay marriage. Not one time has the issue of gay marriage come up to a vote, has it been allowed. Thirty one times to zip. Every time it was because of courts, or legislators.
I support both Dan Hauser and Richard Marks for harbor commissioners.
Here are a few of my reasons: Dan Hauser has an extensive and productive history of hard work and dedication to his community. Dan participated in the creation of the Arcata marsh project, which won a Rockefeller award and is now copied and admired all over the world as an example of innovative green conservation.
Dan is for a green port, and has the knowledge and connections in Sacramento to help realized that goal. Dan Hauser is a board member of the Timber Heritage Association (THA) and has actively participated in the THA’s goals of creating a tourist train between Eureka and Arcata, restoring historic North Coast logging equipment, and the visioning a “rails with trails” solution along the rail right-of-way.
The Timber Heritage Association has been offering rides on its restored 1937 railroad speeder, a small rail car that was originally used to move crews from one job to another. Both Richard Marks and Dan Hauser have given generously of their time in facilitating THA’s vision of a world-class museum to convey the history of the Redwood Coast and attract visitors to our area.
Both candidates support rails with trails, the creation of a tourist train, and believe that it is possible to be a “green port” that can attract good-paying jobs without sacrificing the conservation and recreation within Humboldt Bay.
Both Richard Marks and Dan Hauser have earned my support for Harbor Commissioner.

You will be happy to know will be reusing a tower on top of the courthouse to provide better celluar service. This will provide income to the county. Just think, such a high vantage point will be able to provide coverage to a wide area.
Overwhelming voter support at last Eureka City meeting, and another landslide of support to certify in Jeff Leonard’s poll. As Humboldturtle says, “Do whatever the poll says, Jeffrey.” In this case it says we’re tired of the delay tactics, and get this ball rolling now.
As of this morning 79 people voted, 67 of them said yes, and 3 maybes.
Railroaders put on Oktoberfest to raise funds for restorations – Humboldt Beacon.
Celebrate Oktoberfest and support the efforts of the Timber Heritage Association at a fundraiser at the Adorni Center in Eureka on Friday, Oct. 23.
The event will feature platters of delicious German fare, cold beer and root beer, music from the Humboldt Accordionaires, and a raffle for a three-day round trip aboard the private railcar Virginia City (from Emeryville to Reno).

The new manager went around, introducing herself to residents yesterday. Telling residents they must remove American flag and other controversial decals from their mobile homes. Also any such decals must be removed from vehicles owned by residents.

I twitted about this a while back, but our baby is a boy. My wife allowed me to find out. The chances that it is a girl is much less with having identified it as a boy, than the reverse. Having the doctor who my wife worked for find, there it’s penis, on the arrowed ultrasound, made us feel better. Though every time, I look at it, I can’t tell a thing, let alone it’s thingy. Other pictures, looked like a skeleton, and not a baby. We didn’t get very good pictures last time, because every time, the tech would try, it would move. My wife doesn’t like her picture taken either, nor did her mother.
Stitch, our cat, that had a broken tail is 100% fine now. Our Lamb is fighting us, to get in to the house. It is like she was bottle fed. Don’t worry though, they do have plenty of shelter. She has a voracious appetite, so we are missing a row of potato, and lettuce. It is like a zero cut backyard now. She has a good coat of wool already. A single squirrel has damaged most of our corn crop.
One of our cats, Little Bear will sleep outside all night long on a chair, even through light rain, or dew. Yet just try and give him a bath, and he will act like your murdering him.

Some of the areas I like to spend my time is in electronics and computers. I’ve fancied myself as a manufacturer of sorts of products/electronic items. Nothing really major, but small things that major manufactures wouldn’t touch. The problem is it costs a lot. In order to reduce costs, you have to buy parts in lots of thousands. I don’t have the money to buy anything in lots of thousands, except resistors, and only because they would be a penny each.
So along comes Gadget Gangster, where all I have to do is design a project, the help file, add photos, and bill of materials. No more worrying about inventory, or handling money. I just have cost of material to design the project, and time spent.
My first project is a simple white LED light project. I love LED’s and wanted to have more of their light around the house. It was then I realized there was none of these projects on Gadget Gangster. I fretted a bit, on how I wanted to do it, then settled on two things I wanted. I wanted it to have a large DC voltage input, accomplished by using a voltage regulator. Input range is six to thirty volts, though more voltage, the more energy is wasted, and you will need to add a heat sink for those higher voltages. I wanted it to be easy to fix when an LED goes out. I did that by putting them in parallel. Thus when one goes out, they don’t all go out. I wanted it to be cheap. It bugs me to have new energy/money saving tech be so expensive.
Now it is a kit, so you will need a soldering iron, solder, and a DC power supply/battery.
The highbeamer kit is here has five LEDs that come with it, regular price of $15.00 /on sale now for $12.99, and expansion kit is here adds an additional five LEDs, regular price of $4.99/ on sale for $3.99. You can add three expansion kits to the basic kit, for a total of twenty LEDs.
The reasoning behind the expansion kit, is that I wanted people to be able to choose how much light they wanted, and how much they wanted to spend.
