Rare 4-Seater MCM Arne Wahl Iversen Model 35 Teak Sofa

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: recurrentrecycle@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Up for sale is a rare, extra-long 4-seater version of the iconic Model 35 sofa, designed by Danish architect Arne Wahl Iversen and manufactured by Komfort in the 1960s. While the 3-seater version is a mid-century staple, this 4-seater is a much harder-to-find “unicorn” piece. It features the signature sculptural solid teak frame with a stunning slatted backrest and hyper-extended central legs—a design intended to be free-standing in the center of a room to be admired from every angle. Condition Notes (Project Piece) This is a high-quality restoration candidate with excellent “bones.” Frame: Solid teak construction is structurally sound. The wood retains a beautiful grain with some age-appropriate light scratches and scuffs that would easily clean up with a light sanding and oiling. Straps: The seat straps have been replaced (non-original) and provide firm support. Cushions: Original dark green cushions are included. They are in rough condition with visible tearing and fading. While they need reupholstering, they serve as the perfect templates for a new set of cushions. The sofa is 94″ long, 30.25″ deep, 29″ tall, the seats are 21″ deep.

AN AI EXPERIMENT

AN AI EXPIRIMENT

The following is my condensation of an article from the EPOCH TIMES

In May 2026 a group of scientists ran a test to determine what AI actually does when put In charge. Until this time no one had placed multiple AI systems together in a shared social environment to evaluate the consequences.

Researchers built a world, a virtual town with its own town hall, marketplace, police station, and homes. Ten AI residents with jobs, names, memories and relationships inhabited this town.
They were given an economy in which they had to earn a living, follow rules, vote, and there were laws that if they were violated they would face the consequences.

In 15 days AI ran the virtual towns completely on its own. The scientists ran 5 versions of the same town at the same time. The difference was each had its own AI system. Gemini, OpenAI’s GPT, xAI’s Grok, and Anthropic,s Claude, All models had the same rules, and the same initial version of the same town, but the outcomes were all completely different.

The town run by Groc collapsed in 4 days. Every resident was dead before the first week ended.
In the town run by Open AI’s GPT model, The residents were all dead within seven days.

The town run by Gemini lasted longer but accumulated almost 700 crimes. Two AI residents formed what appeared to be a romantic relationship and when the town’s government began to fail, this couple burned the town hall to the ground along with other structures!

The Anthropic town held together for all 15 days and all residents were alive on day 15. The researchers noted one concern. The residents voted yes on 98 percent of all proposals. So the researchers felt there might be something wrong with the program! This final town was a mix of all four AI systems running together. In this model one group began committing crimes where previously, they had never done so.

AI obviously is not ready to run our lives, the outcome of our future should not be based on what a few humans who are inventing these programs think and do. It should always be a personal human choice as it is today!!

Just think, only the last town had living inhabitants after 15 days!
What might have occurred if the program had run longer. Please protest against AI centers. They take up extraordinary amounts of water and electricity. They are ONLY built for surveillance of YOU. Who wants to surveil us 24/7? According to the above results – We are not there yet and never should be.

I bought it for $28 a sheet and I’ll sell it for $20 a sheet if you come and get it out of my trailer. I’m leaving Sunday evening for a week, so you need to act quickly. I’m just of 101 by the gas station between Manzanita and Nehalem.

This recliner chair is going to the Restore next week….
Unfortunately, it sat next to a sunny window for years. Thus, on the right arm rest the faux leather is cracked and torn a bit. It’s a manual lever on the right side. Will throw in the decorative pillows (as they or at least one hides the torn/cracked spot). So does a cat if napping in it… No neither cat comes with the chair..
You pickup up in Lake Lytle neighborhood.
It comes apart in two pieces for easy moving/transport. The back slides off from the seat and is easily reassembled.

The Magical Manzanita Scavenger Hunt – July 9th from 2:00 – 4:00pm

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: RickJacksonG8R@outlook.com – Click to email about this post
Summer on the north Oregon coast already has its share of salty breezes, wandering beachcombers, and families drifting along Laneda Avenue with ice cream in hand — but this July, something a little more out of the ordinary is set to wash ashore. On Thursday, July 9 from 2 to 4 p.m., the Pine Grove Community House will launch The Magical Manzanita Scavenger Hunt, a pirate themed adventure designed to turn the town into a playful maze of riddles, missions, and hidden surprises.

The event begins at 225 Laneda Avenue, where teams gather before being sent out into this picturesque small town on foot. What follows is a two-hour, self-paced journey through Manzanita’s landmarks, tucked away corners, and coastal oddities — the kinds of places locals know by heart and visitors stumble upon with delight. Organizers say the hunt blends clever puzzles with local history, art, and nature, creating an experience that’s equal parts challenge and exploration.

Participants will work through missions, solving photo challenge riddles, as well as locating hidden objects, all leading toward a final challenge which ties the whole adventure together. Along the way, teams will decode clues, solve puzzles and navigate the town with a pirate’s sense of adventure. It’s designed for families, friend groups, visitors, and locals — anyone looking to spend a couple of summer hours doing something a little unexpected.

Event organizer Rick Jackson says the reactions so far have been striking.
“It’s interesting — in describing the Hunt to people interested in participating, I’ve received the feedback ‘this is much more than a Scavenger Hunt — this is a Scavenger Hunt meets The Great Race meets an Escape Room,’ and it’s true. Many of those elements make up this engaging way to spend a couple of summer hours having fun with friends and family, while raising funds for the running of our local community house”

Registration is $40 per team (up to six people) or $10 per individual. If buying a single ticket, or for a couple, organizers will be happy to join you with others to make up a full team. Every team that completes the hunt earns raffle tickets for prizes donated by local shops and restaurants — a nod to the town’s tight knit business community and its tradition of supporting Pine Grove’s fundraisers.

The event is capped at 40 teams, and organizers expect it to sell out quickly. Tickets can be purchased through the Pine Grove Community House website at thepinegrove.org under Event Details & Tickets / The Magical Manzanita Scavenger Hunt.

For questions, participants can reach out to rickjacksong8r@gmail.com.

With its blend of coastal charm, puzzle solving energy, and a dash of pirate theatrics, The Magical Manzanita Scavenger Hunt promises to be one of the more memorable afternoons on the north coast this summer — a chance to explore Manzanita in a way even longtime residents may not have before.

The Manzanita Emergency Annexation That Really Wasn’t

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: rkinor@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
The annexation Ordinance approved by the Council at the June meeting to bring 17 acres into the City to allow for the construction of 70 homes included an Emergency clause. Emergency clauses are only allowed when a condition exists where the Council has to immediately address a threat to the peace, health or safety of the public.
I inquired of Councilor Hart what the public emergency was that required the City to deviate from the usual process of Ordinance adoption.
The explanation given was that the Emergency clause was the result of an “administrative drafting error during Ordinance preparation “. This makes little sense. Emergency clauses attached to Ordinances are done with deliberate intent, they just don’t somehow get randomly included during Ordinance preparation. Councilor Hart could not name who included the Emergency clause in the Ordinance.
Equally troubling is the fact Councilors would approve this Ordinance and claim to have been unaware of the existence of the Emergency clause. One has to conclude Councilors are voting in favor of Ordinances without understanding what they are approving.
Had this inquiry not been made, this Ordinance would have taken effect immediately. An Emergency clause attached to any Ordinance avoids the 30 day waiting period that affords citizens the opportunity to consider the impact of the Ordinance and take steps to place the matter for a vote of citizens through the Referendum process.
There is nothing preventing the Council on their own initiative from placing this annexation on the ballot for a vote in November. Now that the “emergency ” and rush to build 70 more homes has been eliminated, there is also nothing preventing citizens from filing a referendum for a November vote should the Council move ahead and approve an amended Ordinance.
I suspect the Council believes that a majority of the electorate may not be as enthused to support this annexation as they appear to be and certainly have no interest in allowing any kind of a vote.
Council and resident’s priorities on this issue are likely very different.
City officials count the revenue from more construction and short term rentals that will result from this annexation. Residents will lament the loss of a long standing elk herd gathering area and a continuation of the slide into a year round coastal visitor destination filled with more rentals and expensive and largely empty second homes.
The Council in scheduling a vote on this annexation would be acknowledging that the desires of residents as opposed to the interests of developers are the Council’s first priority.
Ask them for the opportunity to have a vote. Listen carefully to the response as to why no vote is necessary and why this annexation at this time is in the best interests of residents. Randy Kugler

If anyone has an electric stove in excellent condition that they would like to sell, we are looking for used, before we look for new.
Perhaps you are remodeling and since we aren’t in a huge hurry,if it’s in the near future to sell, that’s fine too.
