Broadway Bridge closing for movie production work

01:43 PM PDT on Monday, March 19, 2007

By DAVID KROUGH, kgw.com Staff

The Broadway Bridge will be closed Monday night into Tuesday morning for a movie screw.

One traffic lane will be closed from 8 p.m. until 9 p.m. and after that all traffic lanes on the bridge and westside ramps will be closed until 5 a.m. Tuesday.

Crews will be working on the bridge for the film "Untraceable" later this month, according to transportation officials.

The bridge closure will not affect bicyclists, pedestrians or river traffic.

Later in the month, the bridge will be closed several other times for filming and production.

Also, the picture captioned is actually the Hawthorne bridge, not the Broadway Bridge.

Because the /. community is obsessed with bridges and movie screws.

Also note, that the news guy who answered the phone at KGW was rude to The Rick Emerson show.

Also note, that they have already corrected the story, but I have the whole thing quoted as it was originally posted.

I just set up a wireless router, and want to log into it so I can set up security features as well as change the default password, but when I try to pull up the default IP address in a web browser as it has in the instructions it doesn't come up.

The assume that you are connecting the wireless router directly to the broadband "modem", but I got a firewall and a switch first. I am guessing because of this that my firewall is assigning an IP address via DHCP or something, instead of the wifi router assigning its own IP address.

How do I scan my LAN for IP addresses?

Is there a general command for this in linux/unix, or program that you would recommend for this?

Or when my laptop running Windows XP connects to the WIFI router, is there a way to find out from that?

I need to get a cell phone, and I need to get one soon, and with unlimited use.

From what I understand, $45 a month with no contracts is a decent deal.

I especially like the no-contract part.

But does anyone know if they have good coverage?

Without a contract there is a lot less risk, but it would be nice to know if people have had good or bad experiences with them, or their friends. I don't like wasting money.

Anyone know of a good site for TV Listings?

I used to use tv.yahoo.com but a while back they "upgraded" it and now it is almost completely useless.
At best it is slow and clumsy, and shows everything at an incorrect time. Part of the problem is that they are now trying to do everything in Java or Active X or something so it takes forever for it to do anything. It really pisses me off when someone breaks something because they think more complicated equals better.

So, does anyone know of any TV listing sites that actually work and not a complete pain is the butt?

I must now listen to Disposable Heroes to cancel out the banality of this post.
