IKEA Portland

Yes, I'm a dork. I'm really excited about Portland's IKEA opening which was announced today to be July 25! I've looked forward to this since the rumors of IKEA's arrival were confirmed in 2005.
I don't like crowds, so I doubt I'll attend the opening weekend . . . or will I???

Yesterday, Scott and I finally went on the hike that Sheena had originally planned for us. Somehow I managed to miss hiking the most hiked trail in the Columbia River Gorge, Eagle Creek Trail. I thought the trail would just be a few more small gorge falls, but the entire canyon was amazing.
At several points the trail narrows to just a few feet wide with a deadly drop-off. There's no railing or even caution sign. The only hint of caution is a cable handrail on the rock wall side of the trail.
We didn't make the six mile trek to the Tunnel Falls, but I'm glad we did make it 3.2 miles to Loowit Falls and High Bridge. Loowit Falls looks perfect. It falls into a nearly perfectly round bowl. Nearby, High Bridge crosses the narrow canyon 150 feet above the creek.
The 6.4 round trip was grueling and the walk across the park's parking lot was probably the toughest part. We did the hike unprepared without water or energy food (unless you count the Wendy's lunch before the hike). Next time, we'll plan and prepare better to make it to Tunnel Falls.
Scott, Sheena, and I saw 28 Weeks Later (IMDB.com) last night. While the movie was a little more gory, it wasn't as thrilling or shocking as its 2002 predecessor, 28 Days Later (IMDB.com). One of the weak parts of the movie was that it centered on two stupid kids I didn't care about. Unlike the first film in which I actually liked the main characters (and even preferred its happy Hollywood ending), I was rooting for kids' demise a little in this sequel. And Robert Carlyle's super-zombie was unnecessary.
I also missed Danny Boyle's highly-stylized filmmaking like 28 Days. I really liked his cute 2004 movie Millions (IMDB.com). He was an Executive Producer in this film and apparently directed some of the second unit filming, but it didn't feel like one of his movies.
I liked the music and assumed it was a variation of a Muse (Wiki) song. Sheena mentioned that Boyle appears to really like Muse too since their music was featured Millions and their "Shrinking Universe" was used in the 28 Weeks trailer. However, IMDB.com says no Muse music was actually used in the film.
Overall, it wasn't a bad film -- it just seemed like merely an extension of the original film. Like any good sequel film, it did allude to what the next potential sequel will be about. However, what I would like is to see what happened to the characters in the original film.

Last night, Scott, Tammy, David, and I attended the album release concert for Pink Martini's third album, Hey Eugene!. I was a little last-minute in buying the cheap tickets so we ended up at the top row at the top of the balcony of The Schnitz. Even so, the view from 'the nose bleeds' wasn't that bad and we still enjoyed the concert which featured the David York Ensemble and March Fourth Marching Band. Scott liked the David York Ensemble (although their performance was ruined by a loud baby -- WHO BRINGS THEIR BABY TO A CONCERT!?), so we may go to their next concert. March Fourth was crazy and entertaining as always.
Sadly, Thomas Lauderdale mentioned that the Jefferson High School choir that was featured one of Martini's previous albums no longer exists. He urged his hometown to support Portland Public Schools and its music program which, of course, solicited applause.
I like the title track from the album, so I'll probably make my one yearly album purchase.
It's time to vote in the not-so-special "Special Election". I'll dump endorsements and thoughts here as I contemplate my vote:
| MULTNOMAH EDUCATION SERVICE DISTRICT WWeek (pdf): "Imagine school districts were cities. Education service districts would be like county governments working in conjunction with the cities (i.e., school districts) to provide additional services. These include speical education programs, technology and school health services. And let's not forget outdoor school." |
||
| Director, Position 2, At Large | ||
| [_] | Federick (Rick) Okamura 22.60%* |
JackBog: "On the Multnomah educational service district, we'd like to vote to abolish it, but since that option isn't offered, we're going with Okamura and Gratton." |
| [X] | John H. Kilian 37.52%* |
WWeek (pdf): ". . . Kilian appeared to have the best grasp of the issues." TheO: "John Kilian, a family dentist from Gresham, has worked on community health issues and has a background of civic involvement. He's the best candidate for this open seat." ME: Johnson's mostly union support makes me weary that he will place union interests over students' interests. Kilian's medical background makes sense for MESD. I also like his response to the LWV (pdf): "The MESD Board would be well-served to have a Director who provides patient health care. Its broad scope of Programs includes aspects of social, mental and medical wellbeing. This is my expertise. The need for health education in the community is great. It will show successes and failures. But it is mandatory. As a mentor and health care provider I will closely examine school health services and protect our children." |
| [_] | Zak Johnson 38.87%* ELECTED |
MultDems: "Johnson will work to restore civility to the board and strengthen alternative pathways to success for students throughout Multnomah County." |
| Director, Position 6, At Large | ||
| [_] | Robert R. Weaver 24.15%* |
|
| [X] | Janice Gratton 74.94% ELECTED |
Incumbent. WWeek (pdf): "Gratton is adept at networking in Salem and has a fine grasp of the ins and outs of MESD's adminstration as well as the district's programs." TheO: "Though incumbents Janice Gratton and Geri Washington face challengers, they deserve re-election. Board Chairwoman Gratton is a child and family services consultant, . . ." JackBog: "On the Multnomah educational service district, we'd like to vote to abolish it, but since that option isn't offered, we're going with Okamura and Gratton." No real contest here. According to her voters' guide statement, Gratton has been on the MESD board for 12 years. The position is unpaid, so I doubt she is doing it for the fame and recognition. Weaver is a CFO and says he has an autistic child. Howver, I don't see an compelling reason to vote out the incumbent. |
| PORTLAND SCHOOL DISTRICT #1JT | ||
| Director, Zone 1 | ||
| [_] | Ruth Adkins 59.05%* ELECTED |
Merc: "The Mercury feels Adkins would bring a more balanced and much needed new approach to the school board." MultDems: "We believe Ruth Adkins will provide the independent community voice that is needed on our Portland School Board at a time when PPS is undergoing sweeping changes." WWeek (pdf): ". . . we're ready for someone else. Fortunately, challenger Adkins' clear-eyed vision of education makes her a candidate who can stir the pot without causing too much sloshing. She's a market researcher and founding member of the Neighborhood Schools Alliance, which formed in 2005 to address inequity in the district." TheO: "Challenger Ruth Adkins, a parent and market research analyst, makes a good case that the district can boost its enrollment by improving school quality, mending relationships with parents, marketing the district's strengths and working with other agencies on housing." Trib: ". . . We are confident, however, that [Adkins] will be a cooperative member of the board while also serving as a leader who appropriately will challenge the status quo. "Frankly, we also give weight to the fact that Adkins has a child at each level in Portland Public Schools — elementary, middle and high school. That means she is vested in a positive outcome for schools and will bring a sense of urgency to the job." JackBog: "In the school board election, we're going with Adkins and Wynde." |
| [X] | Douglas F. Morgan
40.25%* |
Incumbent. ME: This is a tough decision. I'm not sure why everyone is voting Adkins over the incumbent Morgan. There are calls that the Board needs to be changed, but I don't see why Morgan should be voted out while the other incumbent, Wynde, should be retained. Some of the comments I've read imply that Adkins' personality and style are preferable to Morgan, but I haven't seen any specific allegations that Morgan has done anything unsuitable for his office. I did compare Adkins' and Morgan's response in the LWV Portland questionnaire (PDF). Adkins' response sounded great, but Morgan directly answered the questions and had more specifics. I'm concerned that Morgan is being scapegoated for some of the unpopular decision the District was forced to make. As I recall, the District has had too many buildings (i.e. schools), too much administration, and a flat/declining student population for at least the last decade. For years, prior Boards and superindendents were unwilling or unable to make the necessary and unpopular cuts and closures. This board and superindendent finally made the unpopular decision. Unless I can find a reason to vote against Morgan, I think the Board and Morgan should be supported for the difficult work they've done. I'm especially sympathetic when considering that this is an unpaid and completely thankless job. |
| Director, Zone 2 | ||
| [X] | David Wynde 56.79%* ELECTED |
Incumbent WWeek (pdf): ". . . Wynde is open to listening to even his strongest opponents. And though he often seems overly enamored of the superintendent, he's not punch-drunk in love." TheO: "Incumbent David Wynde, a parent with a background in banking, served as co-chair during much of his term. He is an organized, focused leader who helped the district make tough budget cuts and address long-term facilities issues." Trib: ". . .We believe Schultz, with further seasoning, could be a solid future candidate. But for now, the school board needs Wynde — a highly articulate and effective board member who has helped lead the district through some of its most difficult days. "He understands the urgency of improving — not just stabilizing — Portland Public Schools, and we think he has the tools to continue to get the job done well." Jack Bog: "In the school board election, we're going with Adkins and Wynde. The latter is not a slam-dunk, but like the Double Dub [WWeek], we think he's done an acceptable job and will balance off an Adkins." |
| [_] | Michele Schultz 42.39%* |
Merc: "the Mercury supports [Schultz's] calls for more communication between the school board and its various constituents." |
| Director, Zone 3 | ||
| [X] | Bobbie Regan 97.02%* ELECTED |
|
| Director, Zone 7 | ||
| [X] | Dilafruz Williams 97.27* ELECTED |
|
| CITY OF PORTLAND | ||
| Measure 26-89 Amends Charter: Requires City to periodically review Charter. Merc: "A group of 20 citizens would be appointed every 10 years (with the first group convening in two), to debate and recommend further changes or tweaks to the city charter. They can send ideas straight to the ballot with a supermajority vote; other ideas have to go through the city council." |
||
| [_] | Yes 75.80%* PASSED |
Merc: "Sure, they might come up with really awful ideas—but we trust that the voters are smart enough to vet those ideas as they arise." WWeek (pdf): "Nobody opposes what's really only a housekeeping measure, designed to keep the charter free of archaic language and provisions." Citizens to Reform City Hall PAC Trib: ". . .Of all the amendments proposed by the 26-member charter review committee, this is the easiest to endorse. . . . "That’s a vast improvement over the status quo. Currently, no review is required." TheO: "Yes. It establishes a much-needed mechanism for citizens to periodically update the city charter." |
| [X] | No 24.20%* |
ME: Contrary to WWeek's assertion, I am against this measure (although maybe I am a nobody). I'm not sold as to why this backdoor way to the ballot is needed. If the charter changes really are non-controversial and only "housekeeping", why can't the elected City Council simply refer charter changes to voters? I really dislike these unelected and unaccountable committees and commissions governments set-up, such as the PDC and the proposed charter review group. The implication is that these will be wise, impartial, upstanding members of the community, but there's no way to gaurantee this. Who are these 20 people who will be appointed in two, 12, 22, 32, or 102 years from now? Won't these 20 people feel compelled to change something every ten years? And contrary to the Merc's reasoning, fighting a bad measure does cost real money, time and effort. There's nothing wrong with the current system of either getting petitions signed or having the majority of the City Council to support a ballot measure -- especially if these really are just non-controversial, housekeeping changes to the City's constitution. Amanda Fritz: "Top Three Reasons to Vote No on 26-89, ongoing Charter Review: "1. Fifteen citizens who have not been elected by a vote of the people, should not have the power to refer Charter (Constitutional) changes to the ballot without approval by elected officials. . . "2. The proposed language allows future Charter Commissions to refer changes to the voters at any primary or general election. To ensure meaningful participation, Charter change ballot measures should be allowed only at the General Election of even years. "3. The ballot measure does not reference gender in selecting the Charter Commission's membership, and there is no mechanism proposed to ensure that allowing each of five Councilors to select four members will result in balanced demographics on the Commission. . . ." JackBog: "As for the other three city measures, they're all pretty crummy ideas, and we're voting no. . . "What we are passing on this time is not a pretty picture. . . And more rounds of charter change nonsense every few years, like clockwork? No thanks." |
| Measure 26-90 Amends Charter: Updates and clarified civil service provisions. Merc: "Currently, there's a section in the city charter that outlines how the city treats its workers—how people get promoted, what the city values in an employee, and how workers are protected. This measure essentially tosses all of those nitty gritty details out, and replaces it with a more general, constitutional framework. The details—which will be in "administrative rules," instead of the charter—can then be changed as needed. One detail in particular—the city's definition of a temporary worker—is a contentious one, and we hope that the city will hammer out a compromise rule, instead of relying on an outdated city charter." |
||
| [X] | Yes 53.67%* PASSED |
WWeek (pdf): ". . . This is a good idea because it lets commissioners and bureau chiefs pick their own teams. Supporters of this change estimate it will affect fewer than 50 employees. Opponents disagree, but we're skeptical of their fears about widespread firings, because the proposed language continues protection for the vast majority of employeers." Merc:". . . This measure essentially tosses all of those nitty gritty details out, and replaces it with a more general, constitutional framework. The details—which will be in "administrative rules," instead of the charter—can then be changed as needed. . . . " Citizens to Reform City Hall PAC Trib: "This amendment reforms the charter’s civil service provisions. It is partly a housekeeping measure and partly substantive. "In addition to cleaning up outdated language, the measure will increase accountability among the city’s higher-level employees." ME: It seems like a reasonable measure. It doesn't make sense to me that voters should have to vote on every minute change in civil service regulations. This is why we have an elected city council. I am hesitant about the real consequences of this measure. Is something sleazy being slipped into this change? The other endorsers express concern about how the council will resolve the temporary workers issue. Against my better judgment, I'm going to assume the council will develop some fair rules about temps. TheO: "Yes. It clarifies civil service provisions in the charter and provides more flexibility in hiring and firing top-level policymakers." |
| [_] | No 46.33%* |
JackBog: "As for the other three city measures, they're all pretty crummy ideas, and we're voting no. . . . "What we are passing on this time is not a pretty picture. . . . More backroom hiring and firing of city workers? . . . No thanks." |
| Measure 26-91 Amends Charter: Changes form of City Government. Merc:"Measure 26-91 would completely reshape Portland's city government, giving the mayor and an appointed chief administrative officer full control of all city bureaus, while city council would have only legislative duties. In short, it would centralize all city functions under the mayor." |
||
| [_] | Yes 23.77%* |
Citizens to Reform City Hall PAC TheO: "Yes. It would alter the city's antiquated "commission" form of government, which breeds inefficiency. Every other big city has dumped it. Instead, a chief administrative officer would run all city bureaus, under the mayor, and, for the first time, actually coordinate them." |
| [X] | No 76.23%* DEFEATED |
WWeek (pdf): ". . . government's transparency is likely to be greater when power is spread among five officials rather than one. And while the current system can be mesy, this messiness is healthy." Merc: ". . . it doesn't contain much that appeals to either traditional "strong mayor" advocates or defenders of the current form of government. "Instead, the Charter Review Commission attempted to find something right in the middle, to appease Portland's love of process—but the compromise endangers the advantages of the current system, and fails to capitalize on the strengths of a council/mayor government." LWV Portland: "For nearly 100 years, Portland has operated successfully under the current Charter, our Constitution. Changing it should be done carefully and with maximum public participation. ". . . Transfers significant power to the Mayor and an unelected Chief Administrative Officer . . . "Inadequate checks and balances on the power of the Mayor leave him/her with control over all bureaus and staff, yet continuing to vote as a member of Council. . . . "The Mayor would appoint all members of all citizen boards and commissions. . . . "Proponents have not provided a clear explanation of the cost of implementing 26-91 . . . "Little consideration was given to improving our current form of government. . . ." Trib: ". . . The proposal is tempting, because it would allow for unified management of the city and break up individual fiefdoms created by commissioners who presently are given authority over bureaus. "However, there isn’t anything in the current city charter that prevents the mayor from doing most everything that he could under this amendment. "What’s required is better collective — not individual — performance from the commissioners and mayor. And if their cooperation and achievement of collective results doesn’t improve, this particular charter change ought to come back before voters in the future. "For now, vote no." JackBog: "As for the other three city measures, they're all pretty crummy ideas, and we're voting no. It's not that the current system of city government has all that much to be said in its defense. If, for example, somebody came to us with term limits and election by district for the City Council, we'd be all for it. But neither of those ideas are before us, and the Powers That Be would probably kill them if they were. What we are passing on this time is not a pretty picture. More power to people like Vera Katz?. . . No thanks." ME: There are numerous reasons why this is a poor measure.
|
| Measure 26-92 Amends Charter: Defines mission increases oversight of Portland Development Commission. Merc: "This charter reform measure would give the city council control of the Portland Development Commission (PDC)'s budget." |
||
| [X] | Yes 52.99%* PASSED |
Merc: ". . . Handing the purse strings over to the city council would change that, bringing a much-needed layer of accountability to the PDC." WWeek (pdf): "PDC has been far too opaque. While it's the city's development agency, for example, it works with only a few developers. The rest often say they cannot understand the arcane way in which the PDC operates. ". . . every other city agency is directly accountable to an elected official who id directly accountable to voters. For the agency with the most spending discretion to be directly accountable to nobody is insanity. Stop the madness. Vote yes." Citizens to Reform City Hall PAC JackBog: ". . . We're voting yes on the PDC budget change -- Measure 26-92 -- because the more sunlight thrown on that pork barrel, the better. It's not that I think that people like Opie and Fireman Randy are going to make a difference when it comes to what the "urban renewal" agency does, but rather that the additional scrutiny mandated by this measure may occasionally alert the public to some new scam in the making -- in time to put a stop to it." ME: Can more oversight be a bad thing? This is far from the ideal solution to reigning-in PDC, but it seems to be good start. Amanda Fritz is following an interesting bill in Salem that may make the this vote irrelevant, but it's hard to see how this bill's passage would not send a message to PDC. |
| [_] | No 47.01%* |
TheO: ". . . Frankly, it would have been more merciful -- and more honest -- if the council had just seized control of the PDC in one swift blow, rather than trying to rob the agency, and kill it slowly. "Far from reforming the city's urban renewal agency, Measure 26-92 would deform it. And crippling the agency would cripple Portland. Vote no." Trib: ". . . We strongly believe that increasing the council’s authority over the PDC will politicize and seriously hamper economic development, housing and job creation opportunities needed in Portland." Fritz: "I'm urging a No vote on 26-92, in part because it hasn't received adequate vetting and discussion in the community. It troubles me to think maybe it doesn't matter what Portland voters know or want, anyway, given this bill [House Bill 3104] is sailing through the Legislature in Salem." |
UPDATE: * Final Unofficial Results - Update #3 - 12:17 AM 5/16/2007
In 2005, I noted a Fresh Air interview with eHarmony's conservative Christian founder, Neil Clark Warren, who attempted to explain why eHarmony refuses to serve gay and lesbian customers. Now, according to Pam's House Blend, an eHarmony competitor, Chemistry.com, has launched an ad campaign challenging eHarmony's 'no gays' position:
According to a WashingtonPost.com article, eHarmony is demanding that NBC and People remove the ads, but they have either refused or have not responded.
(Hat tip: Pam's House Blend)
Scott and I visited my mom's church for Mother's Day. She attends a large suburban megachurch that has several campuses around the metro-area. Scott and I were hesitant about attending because suburban, evangelical mega-churches are typically theologically conservative and anti-gay. The right-to-life event in the church brochure, male-only leadership, and presumptive heterosexual attitude confirmed our suspicions. I actually warned Scott that we were going to walk-out if any anti-gay statements were made or the gay rights laws were mentioned as a concern.
The service was in a rented room at the convention center which even mom said she preferred the services in the churches. It was the typical, glossy multimedia service with light rock that I imagine most consumer-suburban churches strive for. The speaker/preacher gave a simple, repetitive Powerpoint sermon with video clips. Surprisingly, I thought all the visual and audio gimmicks made the sermon even more dull and drawn-out then the simple spoken sermons we are used to.
Admittedly, I probably didn't go into the service with an open mind. After all, the Cathedral of Hope gay megachurch in Dallas I visited had a similar multimedia format. There was a time during my holy roller high school day, I would have loved the soft, rock worship music. Maybe I'm just getting old, but I really do prefer a simple and more intimate church service.

First, today is a great victory for Oregon gay rights. Governor Kulongoski signed domestic partnerships and discrimination protection into law. The seven-month wait for the laws to take effect sucks. And I'm a little concerned about the religious organization exemption concession that was made at the last minute. Regardless, this is great progress today and gay rights activists should be proud.
Okay, here is the "BUT": (it doesn't take much to for these victories to be overturned by voters.). According to a conservative Christian news website, anti-gay groups are quietly contemplating their response to the laws and seriously considering the initiative option to stop the them:
"Under Oregon law, once the governor signs a new law, citizens have a 90-day window to collect signatures for a possible statewide vote to overturn it.. A total of 55,179 signatures would be required to place such a measure on the ballot of the next general election, in November 2008."
In response to the 2004 Multnomah County gay marriage stunt, anti-groups managed to collect 244 thousand signatures in a mere 41 days (according to their website). So these gay rights laws are far from certain and I'm sure Republicans would love to have another gay issue on the 2008 ballot.
But for today, I'm happy and cautiously optimistic about Oregonians' sense of fairness.
At least these victories demonstrate the importance of voting and validate my nerdy analysis of the ballots.
Everyone has a blog -- even Jesus Christ. As a Christian, I should probably find this blog from the Portland Mercury offensive, but it's really cute and funny.
Scott, Jay, and I saw Spider-Man 3 (IMDB.com) on Saturday and ran into Kevin's Kevin, Mark, Dan, David, Julie, Nick, etc. in the same theater.
Where to start? It just seemed like it tried to do too much -- and none of it well. Depending on how you count them, there were three or four one-dimensional bad guys. There were numerous subplots -- none of which I really cared about. I'm really not a movie snob. I understand Spider-Man is a comic book movie and much of the story is be going to unrealistic or unbelievable. However, this movie just had too many unbelievable coincidences.
As I understand it, Stan Lee's Spider-Man is suppose to be about how a young, ordinary man deals with extrordinary power. S-M3 was promoted as being about Peter Parker's dark side. Unfortunately, Parker only taps into his dark side after an asteroid of black goo just happens to crash lands next to him. Apparently, it would be too realistic or ordinary for Peter Parker to just become a jerk without extraterrestial influence.
Maybe it's just me, but it seemed to me that Tobey Maguire played Peter Parker as mildly retarded in this film. While Parker is supposed to be young and innocent, it's hard to reconcile how oblivious he is toward Mary Jane and how inept he is at landing a real job or even manage to get a cell phone (he has to use his apartment building's pay phone?).
I was surprised to discover that the movie was only two hours and twenty minutes long. It felt much longer. Worse, it had at least two false endings. In fact, people were leaving the theater before the actual end. I audibly groaned during the completely unneeded third ending scene.
Barely DVD-worthy, maybe worth seeing an edited verson on basic cable. Possibly Grade C (average - not great, not terrible) if not for its length.
Scott, his co-workers and I saw Alison Arngrim's Confessions of a Prairie Bitch on Friday night. I was never a big fan of Little House on the Prairie (IMDB.com), but I did grow up watching the show and am familiar with the evil Nellie Oleson. Arngrim's hilarious stand-up act is all about her character and her behind the scenes experiences. She believably claims that someone has called her a "bitch" everyday since she began playing Nellie Oleson in 1974.
At 45, Arngrim looks terrific and still resembles the child actor we all know and were a little terrified of. She is very aware of herself and how we all know her. She even made her famous bug-eyed glare and wore a curly wig with bow just to scare us. She never complained about carrying the burden of 'Nellie Oleson' -- she said she even paid tribute to the real Nellie's gravesite in Forest Grove, OR, that day.
We had a great time, although the venue, the gay bar CC Slaughters, had a disgusting smokey atmosphere that made us leave as soon as the show ended. I thought smoking was banned from bars, but maybe not yet. While the show was a for a good cause, CAP, it seemed to be at the expense of another cause.
Well, this posting is really for Scott who I annoyed with my rendition of Dina Martina/Cartman singing In The Ghetto (or "Jet-Tow" as Martina would say):
|
Real lyrics: -- In the ghetto On a cold and grey Chicago mornin' A poor little baby child is born in the ghetto -- In the ghetto And his mama cries 'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need It's another hungry mouth to feed in the ghetto -- In the ghetto |
as opposed to: -- In the jet-tow mmm-mmm-mmm ummm-ummm-ummm In the jet-tow -- In the jet-tow |
Poor Scott. He puts up with so much.
Here's a full version which I've never really heard:
