Eid Message from Secretary General
Sat 21 Oct 2006
Islam encourages interaction, dialogue and co-operation between all peoples and societies. And Eid is a wonderful opportunity to build bridges, cement ties and strengthen the bonds of kinship that lie in our origins as sons and daughters of a common humanity.
The Eid celebration is an immensely joyous occasion in the Muslim calendar. The culmination of the sacrifices and devotions of the month of Ramadan and the blessings of a day which brings together the Muslim ummah in marking the end of the month of fasting for another year.
There can be no mistaking that the celebration this year falls at a particular difficult time for the British Muslim community. The barrage of comments and counter comments of politicians, the widely disparaging remarks of hostile elements in the media and the daily assault of attention grabbing headlines, all designed to intimidate and cower one of the UK's most vulnerable communities.
It is deeply distressing that recent events should have fallen within a month in which Muslims strive to regain a sense of their purpose in life through increased worship and intense reflection. Ramadan is a time which reminds us of our common roots in religion and origin. Allah made obligatory fasting in continuation of prescriptions that were exhorted upon earlier communities. 'Fasting is prescribed for you as it was for those before you, so that you might learn self restraint' (Al-Qur'an 2:183)
It is unfortunate that recent events should have obscured and made immensely difficult the search for common roots and interests between various communities in Britain today. Muslims are more and more being made to feel as though they are set apart from others; that their religion and practices are too alien and wholly unsuited to the country in which they live.
Ramadan provides us all with a regenerative zeal with which to confirm our belief in Allah and in the teachings of His blessed Prophet Muhammad, saw. I hope, with the onslaught of recent events, that it has also created a determination in the British Muslim community to do its utmost to counter the slurs levelled at Islam and Muslims. I hope that this month, that has been spent by many in extended prayers, has revived the spirit of the community to exert itself confidently in meeting the challenges that now lie ahead.
Islam encourages interaction, dialogue and co-operation between all peoples and societies. And Eid is a wonderful opportunity to build bridges, cement ties and strengthen the bonds of kinship that lie in our origins as sons and daughters of a common humanity.
When faced by challenges and pressures it becomes a great responsibility upon us, as upholders of the true and enlightening message of the Prophets of God, to counteract through our words and deeds.
The happiest and most blessed moments are those that unite people, and today is one such moment. Let us as Muslims be the first to extend the hand of friendship to those around us our neighbours, friends, colleagues and fellow citizens. Let us show through kindness and wisdom as exemplified by the Prophet Muhammad, saw, that those who strive for peace, justice and security will find in their Muslim neighbours willing and trustworthy allies.
May God accept our fasting and may His blessings be with us all. Ameen
Dr Muhammad Abdul Bari

Born in California in 1987, James Holmes was charged for murdering 12 and wounding 58 in a Colorado shooting that took place on July 20, 2012. The incident took place at a movie theater in Aurora, Colorado, where a screening of the 2012 Batman film The Dark Knight Rises was playing. Shortly after the incident, police arrested 24-year-old James Holmes, who was wearing gas mask and body armor at the time. He had also dyed his hair red to resemble "the Joker,
" a well-known Batman villain. On July 30, 2012, Holmes was charged with 24 counts of first-degree murder and 116 counts of attempted murder, as well as two charges related to the possession of serious weapons.
Alleged Gunman
Born on December 13, 1987, in San Diego, California, James Eagan Holmes became known throughout the United States on July 20, 2012, when he was identified by police as a suspect in a Colorado shooting that killed 12 individuals and wounded 58. The incident took place at a movie theater in an Aurora, Colorado, a suburb not far from Denver, where theater patrons were watching the newly released Batman series film The Dark Knight Rises (2012). Police identified 24-year-old James Holmes as the suspect and arrested him shortly after the incident.
According to media reports, police officers who responded to the scene found Holmes near the theater, wearing gas mask and body armor. Holmes's hair had been dyed red, resembling that of "the Joker," a well-known Batman villain. According to a report by CBS News, a federal official stated that Holmes appeared to have been "under the radar" when the shooting took place.
Holmes graduated from Westview High School in Rancho Penasquitos, California, in 2006. That summer, he interned at the Salk Institute of Biological Studies. Holmes went on to the University of California, Riverside, where he earned a bachelor's degree in neuroscience in 2010. During one of his college summers, he worked as a camp counselor for underprivileged kids in Los Angeles in 2008. Holmes enrolled at the University of Colorado in June 2011, taking graduate courses in neuroscience at the university's Denver campus. He withdrew from the program in June 2012.
Holmes had allegedly begun planning the movie theater shooting up to four months before the incident. He reportedly received numerous packages at his apartment and at the university during this time. Holmes "had a high volume of deliveries," Aurora Police Chief Dan Oates told the Associated Press. "We think this explains how he got his hands on the magazine, ammunition." He also purchased various weapons, including a military-style AR-15 assault rifle that police believe was used during the attack. Police believe that Holmes acted alone during the shooting.
After his arrest, Holmes reportedly told authorities that he had rigged his apartment with the explosive devices. He had booby-trapped his home so that anyone who entered would hurt or killed by these devices. The police were able to eliminate and remove the dangerous materials.

This site features the ways in which people modify and re-create technology. Herein a collection of personal modifications, folk innovations, street customization, ad hoc alterations, wear-patterns, home-made versions and indigenous ingenuity. In short -- stuff as it is actually used, and not how its creators planned on it being used.
As William Gibson said, "The street finds its own uses for things."
I welcome suggestions of links, and contributions from others to include in this compendium.
Priti Baiks
Street bikes from Panama. They are called priti baiks. The term priti means both "pretty" and also ingenious, or striking.
The photographs are taken by Jose Castrellon, who spent time hanging around this subculture of hot rodders. Except these guys are too poor to own a car so they soup up their bikes. Note the air horns, normally found on trucks.
His web site says, "Priti Baiks is a series of portraits of men who display tons of creative ingenuity and dedicated a good amount of their meager resources to decorate and equip their humble bicycles."
Velowalas: Bikes for Business
In much of the developing world, bike technology is significant mobile technology. Bikes are transportation, and offices and shops and stores. The folks at Velowala -- velo for "moving" as in velocity and wala for "man" as in the Hindi -- collect examples of people using bicycle technology on the streets of India. This wala sells churan, tangy snacks and digestive pills. Many more examples here.
Home-made Camera for Ogling
Jailhouse Tech
There's an emerging category of street technology which might be called Jailhouse Tech. The material constraint of a prison inspire fantastic innovation and re-use of made parts. A lot of the devices made in this manner are crude weapons, but others include eating implements, tattoo instruments, music, and other tools. Here are some examples from a prison in Mexico City by Gabriella Gomez-Mont.
Electric cooking stove made with wire and brick.
From the fantastic interview with the artist who works in this prison and who facilitated the photographer who shot these images:
Now that it is over and done with I can tell you this. For the eight prisoners that helped us it would have easily meant another extra seven years in jail, and for us instant lock-up until they set bail. Especially because of having in our possession—or even presence–those knives made from the metallic edges of the windows! In there, they menace and kill people with those, we would all gotten into so much trouble if we had been caught with them. I don't even know if those particular knives that we photographed that day had already been used for some sort of bloody business or not, I preferred not to ask; but it would have been even worse.
Scooter Contraption
I can't tell what this is for. Might be a portable night market stall (for food?). There's a generator on the tail and a light bulb hanging in the middle. Seems to be in Korea. That's all I know. (Thanks Dave Gray)
Escape Devices
Photographer Marc Steinmetz features some really cool examples of home-made devices fashioned by prisoners in order to escape. A few of them succeeded.
This shotgun was "made from iron bedposts; charge made of pieces of lead from curtain tape and match-heads, to be ignited by AA batteries and a broken light bulb. On May 21, 1984 two inmates of a prison in Celle, Germany, took a jailer as a hostage, showed off their fire power by letting go at a pane of bullet-proof glass [bottom of picture], and escaped by car."
This gun was found along with other homemade firearms in the cell of two Celle prison inmates on November 15, 1984. The weapons had been made in the prison's metal workshop. They were loaded with pieces of steel and match-heads.
Street Food Contraptions
Dornbracht, a German manufacturer of bath and kitchen fixtures is presenting a exhibit called "Global Street Food" which has removed street food carts from the streets and spotlighted them in a gallery on Dornbracht's campus.
I wish I had thought to photograph the many wonderful carts I had seen in my travels, but it never occurred to me then.
Here is grill from Kampala, Uganda.
And a cheese and sausage cart from Buenos Aires.
If you have photographs of interesting street food carts send (or point) them to me, and I'll post.
Clothes Dryer Chicken Coop
Here's one way to keep your chickens dry. Pete Betchik of Madison on the Lake, Ohio built a chicken shelter using found materials. "The frame is made from wooden pallets, the roof also is pallet wood. The sides are old steel shelves. The inside is lined with old pizza boxes, the nest box was once used to ship fresh fish to market, and the front door was an industrial clothes dryer front."

U.S. slams MegaUpload's request to dismiss criminal charges
MegaUpload's request to dismiss criminal copyright charges should be denied, the U.S. Attorney's office said yesterday in a court filing.
Claims made by MegaUpload two weeks ago that the U.S. government has no jurisdiction over the Hong Kong-based cloud-storage service are untrue, according to the document filed by Neil MacBride, U.S. Attorney for Eastern District of Virginia.
In January, MacBride's office indicted MegaUpload, founder Kim DotCom, and six other men connected to the company. The U.S. accused the group of operating the company as a front for a massive piracy scheme that made … Read more

Daniel Sedin was a no-show at the Vancouver Canucks' workout Tuesday morning, then skated with teammates after practice.
Sedin, out with a concussion since March 21, was expected to take part in his second practice before Wednesday's first-round playoff series opener against the Los Angeles Kings.
He was injured when he took an elbow in the head from Chicago defenseman Duncan Keith, who was suspended for five games.
Sedin led the Canucks in goals during the regular season with 30 and had 67 points. He missed nine games, but the Canucks still won eight in his absence. He took part in his first on-ice workout with the team Monday since being injured.

Cyber US-217 Modular Solid Helmet Reviews:
Comment: I ordered one of these, and liked most everything about it, EXCEPT, it has an old "strap threaded through metal rings" style connector for the chin strap. So, everytime you put it on, you actually have to get the strap threaded through one ring, back around through the other, back through the first, and then pull it tight. Didn't these disappear in the 80's? Anyway, if you don't mind that, it's a nice helmet.

According to The Pulse Of Radio, an excerpt from Sharon Osbourne's new memoir that was published by U.K. tabloid The Sun over the weekend reveals just how ugly it got between her and Ozzy earlier this year when Sharon found out that her husband of 30 years had relapsed into drug and alcohol abuse.
Sharon writes that she found out about the BLACK SABBATH singer's drug abuse on their 30th wedding anniversary when she saw texts on Ozzy's phone asking people to supply him with drugs and and saying, "Don't tell the old girl." Sharon confronted Ozzy and he promised to go to rehab, but ended up fleeing to the U.K. instead.
Sharon retaliated by selling off all of Ozzy's prized cars, recalling. "There was no way I was going to risk him getting in one of them while he was drunk and hurting someone . . . Ozzy says now that it proved to be the most expensive drink he's ever had."
When the couple reunited in Los Angeles a few weeks later, Ozzy was so "cocky and arrogant" that Sharon says she "snapped," demanding a divorce and asking for 100,000 British pounds — around $162,000 — a month in spousal support.
Sharon writes that when Ozzy replied, "Over my dead body," she threw a cup of coffee at his head, adding, "Then I grabbed him and pulled at his precious hair with one hand, while trying to yank off his jewelry with the other. He went for me, trying to grab me in a headlock."
Ozzy told The Pulse Of Radio a while back that despite critics always saying that Sharon controlled his career and life, the truth was in fact the opposite: "My wife does not get involved with telling me about working. I tried retirement, it sucked. If I don't want to do anything, my wife can't make me do anything I don't want to do."
The estranged couple met up again in May after Ozzy had finally gone to rehab and was sober for two months. Sharon writes, "It seemed like forever since I'd looked into my husband's eyes, but now I was looking into sober eyes. The man I loved was present. I could tell he was relieved to be sitting next to me. I put my hand on his, took him in my arms and we cried."
The couple moved back in together in June.
Sharon's book, called "Unbreakable", is due out this month.

Hello and welcome fellow Tarheel.
Hello everyone!
I just wanted to introduce myself to the forums. I am a life long Disney fan who is just now embracing her inner Disney fan. Thanks to my family, I have been many, many times over many years! Recently, in the past 4 years, my husband and I have tried to go every year to visit the mouse. I found Lou Mongello's podcast to help me get through those times when I am not at the World. We love anything Disney! We just became D23 members and are really excited about possibly attending Destination D in May! I would love to get to know many of you out there, so friend me so we can chat!
Hello and welcome fellow Tarheel.
Hello and welcome!
I would love to go to the upcoming Destination D. If you have the opportunity, don't pass it up!

Home > Health & Wellness > Health Library > Phlebotomy
Phlebotomy is a procedure that removes blood from the body. Regular phlebotomy treats people who have too much iron in their blood, such as with hemochromatosis, or who are producing too many red blood cells, such as with polycythemia. Removing blood regularly decreases iron levels in the body by reducing the number of iron-rich red blood cells.
Health professionals perform phlebotomy in a medical clinic. The process is similar to donating blood. A health professional inserts a needle into a vein in your arm and removes about 500 mL (17 fl oz) of blood. The procedure takes about 30 minutes. You do not need to fast or make special preparations before phlebotomy. But try to eat a good meal and drink plenty of fluids before phlebotomy. This will prevent dizziness or fainting.
Health professionals will have you sit or lie down. During the procedure, they monitor your blood pressure and pulse.
Some people feel tired or dizzy after phlebotomy. You might get relief from these symptoms by resting for the next 24 hours and drinking plenty of fluids.
You may want to have a family member or friend take you home after the procedure.
Excess iron is often stored in the organs, especially the liver. Eventually, the excess iron can cause serious organ and tissue damage. Phlebotomy lowers iron levels by removing iron-rich blood cells from the body.
Removal of excess iron can significantly reduce the possibility of severe and even life-threatening damage to the liver and other organs.1
Phlebotomy is safe when done by a health professional. You may get a small bruise at the puncture site. You can reduce the risk of bruising by keeping pressure on the puncture site for several minutes after the needle is withdrawn. In rare cases, the vein may become inflamed after the blood sample is taken. This condition is called phlebitis and is usually treated with a warm compress applied several times a day. There is also a small risk of infection at the puncture site.
Depending on the cause of iron excess, you may not need phlebotomy as often after iron levels are at a safe level.

Ghostface Killah Recalls The Wu-Tang Clan Getting Chased Out Of Houston
Ghostface Killah recalls how an audience chased the Wu-Tang Clan out of Houston at a show early in their careers.
As evidenced by some of the stories in RZA's 2005 tell-all The Wu-Tang Manual, the legendary Wu-Tang Clan has experienced some of the wildest live performances in Hip Hop. Now, in a recent interview with Complex, member Ghostface Killah recalls an incident when the Wu was chased out of a live performance by a Houston audience in the early '90s.
Ghost said that it all started when a heckler threw his drink on RZA, prompting RZA to bust him over the head with a beer bottle. An angry H-Town audience proceeded to chase the Staten Island emcees out of town, with the crew only making it out unscathed because of Ol' Dirty Bastard. Despite escaping with their necks protected, he said that the Wu still got burned, as the cash they had been paid to perform turned out to be fake.
"I remember [a Southern crowd] chased us out of Texas back in '92 or '93. If it wasn't for Ol' Dirty, we would've been fucked up," he said. "We were in Houston in the Fifth Ward. They had a big mural of Scarface on the wall. So I felt it, I'm a spiritual dude. I told Killah Priest, 'Yo, listen man, shit don't feel right in here. Let's stick together'...we're on stage and RZA is talking. We got one little knucklehead nigga in the crowd. He's like, 'Get the fuck outta here with that shit. Get the fuck out! We don't want to hear that shit.' So RZA's like, 'What? What you say?' So RZA gave him the mic. Dude took the mic and was like, 'I said get the fuck out of here. We don't want to hear that shit.' So RZA, he passed the mic back and shit, so RZA up there still doing his shit. So money just took his shit and threw his cup on RZA. But RZA had the Heineken bottle in his other hand and just trashed him [and hit him over the head with the bottle]. And it was on!"
He continued, "You can carry guns over there. So we was on stage, we ran outside that side door, and these niggas came but we was all in the van. We rushed in, all of us got in the van, but we had nowhere to go. All of a sudden Dirt was like, 'Yo, make a left this way, go through here.' Word is bond. Out of nowhere, it was freedom, freedom. Free at last! And we just made it right to the highway nigga. And we got beat. Because that's when we was getting $100 a show and we'd have to split it $10 a piece. We had the money and it was a fake hundred dollar bill."

Zach Parise needed more than 24 hours to choose which hockey team to make happy.
"I'm getting closer but haven't made a decision," Parise told reporters Monday in Mississauga, Ontario , according to the Canadian Press. "I haven't set any deadlines."
New Jersey is hoping to keep Parise, who became a free agent Sunday when he didn't re-sign with the Devils. Pittsburgh, Detroit, Minnesota and Nashville are among the teams trying to lure him away from the only team he has played for in his NHL career.
The 27-year-old forward and 27-year-old defenceman Ryan Suter were the top players to hit the market. Suter, who also has played for only one team, the Nashville Predators, wanted more than a day to pick a place to play as well.
"There will be no decision on Ryan Suter tonight and there is no timetable for his contract signing at this time," Suter's agent, Neil Sheehy, wrote in an email Monday night. "Ryan is considering his opportunities and is taking the necessary time to give each proper consideration."
Parise scored 31 goals last season and had 69 points in his first year as New Jersey Devils captain and contributed 15 post-season points during a run to the Stanley Cup finals. He has 194 goals and 410 career points over seven seasons with the franchise that drafted him. New Jersey selected him 17th overall in 2003 and he made his NHL debut two years later.
Suter had seven goals and 46 points last season with the Predators. He has 38 goals and 238 points in an NHL career that started in 2005, two years after Nashville drafted him No. 7 overall.
Parise, who is from Minnesota, and Suter, a native of Wisconsin, helped the U.S. win silver at the 2010 Olympics.
Martin St. Louis is a Ranger, Matt Moulson is a member of the Minnesota Wild and the Montreal Canadiens have Thomas Vanek. Look back at all the big name deals that went down.

Norton is literally "North town". There are about 36 Norton villages in the Doomsday Book. I've made a list of them here. In addition there were areas that were so devastated from war that they were not counted. Notable is Durham that is simply recorded as "wasted" in the Doomsday book.

DNA Results
We have two goals:
1) Prove the paper research we already have. So far we have had several big successes in proving and disproving paper research.
2) Establish a data base of Norton DNA so that any Norton can locate his Norton roots by DNA. We have a good start already. Our objective is to identify the Norton family groups that emigrated to America. I will add new family groups as they join the project.
If you are a male and have the Norton surname, or if you know anyone who does, we hope you will consider participating in this Y-DNA testing project and/or telling others about this website.
You have questions, we have answers. email email@example.com

Why an enclave for the rich is a bad move for San Francisco's waterfront
In city planning terms, it's a fairly modest project: 134 condos, no buildings more than 12 stories tall, on a 27,000-square-foot site. It's projected to meet the highest environmental building standards and offers new open space and pedestrian walkways. It's near Muni, BART, and ferry lines. And the city will collect millions of dollars in new taxes from it.
But the 8 Washington project, which will come before the Planning Commission March 8, has become a flashpoint in city politics, one of the defining battles of Mayor Ed Lee's administration — and a symbol of how the city's housing policy has failed to keep pace with the needs of the local workforce.
Put simply, it will create the most expensive condos in city history, housing for the richest of the 1 percent on the edge of the waterfront — and will further push San Francisco toward becoming a city that caters almost entirely to the very wealthy.
So in a city where the growing divide between the 1 percent and the rest of us has become a central issue and where the lack of affordable housing is one of the top civic concerns, 8 Washington is an important test. By any rational standard, this sort of development is the last thing San Francisco needs.
But some of the best-connected lobbyists in the city are pushing it. One of the mayor's closest allies, Chinatown powerbroker Rose Pak, is a leading advocate — and the final outcome will say a lot about city politics in the Lee administration.
There are all sorts of half-truths and misleading statements by supporters of 8 Washington. Here are the five main reasons the project shouldn't be approved.
1. It fills no housing need. San Francisco has no shortage of housing for the very rich; the dramatic need, outlined in both regional planning documents and the city's own General Plan, is for low- and moderate-income housing for the people who actually work in this city (see "Dollars or sense?" 9/28/10). While San Francisco is getting richer by the day, the core workforce — public employees, workers in the hotel and restaurant industry, service workers, construction and trade workers, and a majority of the people in the lower levels of the finance and tech sector — are being priced out of the city. That means more people working here and living far out of town, often commuting by car, in what everyone agrees is an unsustainable situation. Meanwhile, more and more high-paid workers from Silicon Valley are living in San Francisco — again, commuting to distant jobs, either by car or by corporate bus.
The city's General Plan states that some 60 percent of all new housing built in the city should be below market rate. San Francisco desperately needs housing for its workforce. This type of project simply puts the city deeper in the hole and further from its housing goals.
2. It's a reward for bad actors. The main developer of this project is Simon Snellgrove, but one of his partners is, by necessity, Golden Gateway, which owns a significant part of the land — and which has been flouting at least the spirit if not the letter of city and state law and costing San Francisco tens of millions of dollars.
As project opponent Brad Paul has noted in written testimony, when Timothy Foo, the current owner, bought the complex from Perini Corp. about 20 years ago, he used a loophole in state law that allowed him to avoid a formal transfer of ownership. That means the property wasn't re-assessed, costing the city about $1.5 million a year. According to the Assessor's Office, the deal wasn't illegal (and these tricks to avoid reassessment are relatively common) but still: He's costing the city millions by using a loophole not available to most people.
Here is something to chew on, you will have rich people moving to SF. You will always have rich people coming here, let them buy here instead of other places, you will have 134 units of upper income places, let the 1 percent live here, instead of the Mission, the Castro or the Fillmore. The rich people will find ways to take over places in the city, just think about South of Market becoming becoming another Cow Hollow.
rich and white.
The people of means who want to live in San Francisco will do so. If they're not moving into a pricey new condo, they're going to move into the next best thing they can get. This slides all the way down the housing scale. People are getting priced out of normal San Francisco rental housing in neighborhoods like the Mission, the Castro, etc., because the demand for units for "the white and rich" is way higher than supply. You can either zone as much of San Francisco as possible into affordable housing and let the rest of the market get inflated to the prices only the ultra rich can afford, or you can allow more developments to fill this demand in order to maintain the more desirable spectrum of housing availability across the city.
This isn't about values. It's thinking rationally about our city's economic (the balance of incentives, costs, demand, supply) reality.
Wow. A few corporate jet trips is the best you can come up with? Like your arguments, you guys are getting old. Maybe it is time to retire to a gated community of your own....
I don't think they have gated communities for old hippie commie radical types, even though I did cut my ponytail. And I won't live anyplace that doesn't have Bud Light for lunch. So I think it's the trailer park for me.
You missed the point, though: These units will not be marketed for people who were going to move here anyway. These are second and third homes for the elite. They aren't going to move to the Mission or the Castro, ever. No competition there. It's an entirely different market.
We were all out-of-towners once. Or most of us anyway.
Aren't you really just trying to meddle in what type of people can own homes here? If so, why?
type of pariah? I guess I missed the memo.
Why do you always have to play the race card and the class card? Is identity politics that crucial for you?
"If five of the 165 residents of 8 Washington fly in a private or corporate jet from, say, New York to their SF pad once a month, the project will cause the use of jet fuel equivalent to what a normal family would use driving a car for 330 years, Paul noted."
Why don't you just make up some more stats that can't ever be proven?
If ten of the 165 residents of 8 Washington are werewolves, feeding say ten times a month, the project will cause the loss of silver bullets to the community requiring more silver mines in the amazon.
I mean honestly, can you come up with something intelligent? Something besides all white people are evil? How many people of color are on the sfbg payroll?
look at the mundane treatment of the buildings, the lack of inventiveness
its straight out of a developer/bank project......
whats needed there is essential housing, not million dollar pied-a-terres.......
these condo's will not cost the taxpayer anything in subsidies and, indeed, will provide tax revenues and affordable units.
You might want to build an SRO on the waterfront but, luckily, you'd never get funding for it.
Wow BG is stooping very low. The rendering is old. Where's the new design as posted by planning. Hypocrites complaining that the new condo would upstate their own million dollar condos at the commons.
Uh yeah guest, the picture above is not a rendering of the proposed project - its something that the author pulled off the internet because it represents his fantasy about the 8 washington project
Wait, I'm confused... so the developer wants to demolish private tennis courts and a parking lot, not homes, to build 134 condos for rich people, and in exchange is going to shell out cash for the city to ALSO build 27 units of affordable workforce housing. And somehow this is bad for affordable housing?
The alternative isn't "build affordable housing instead" because no one has the money. The alternative is "build no market rate or affordable housing at all, and hope those 134 rich people just disappear instead of buying houses in gentrifying areas of the city and pricing others out."
The progressive intelligentsia agrees. This is our playground. We don't need or want poor people living here. We should accelerate their removal. No more affordable housing. If they can't find a job or pay their way we can house them in internment camps and use them as slave labor.
Recently the progressive intelligentsia were meeting down at the Buck, united in our diversity of thinking and believing in all of the same thing, when we discussed this issue. It was decided that the entire progressive intelligentsia should oppose this development and all housing developments in San Francisco, until SEIU members received long-overdue raises equaling 50% of their last year's pay + 50 hours per year flight time on a pre-paid Net Jets card. San Francisco residents can afford it - they're all rich.
Shanti my friend. Shanti.
Isn't most of it just a giant, weed-filled lot surrounded by green plastic fencing?
Anything sounds better than that.
What a specious argument! What is it like to be unable to make one's way through a city without being stricken by panic attacks at the absence of luxury condos?
What's really going to happen is that 8 Washington and the fall through of the America's Cup billionaires giveaway pier deal is going to create a critical mass of blight that is going to suck San Francisco down into the pits of hell.
That is, unless boosters convince San Franciscans to continue to bear gold bricks on red velvet pillows with golden tassels in procession towards our billionaire betters.
and there was me thinking mid-Market was blight.
I'd rather see condos with nice grounds and public space than I would weed-strewn, gravel-filled lots surrounded by plastic fencing.
the picture could never be seen as an architectural gem, it looks like a masuoleum, or federal building with little understanding of tower or housing design on the waterfront....
even the architectural images of the proposed towers, looks poorly designed.
how can anyone allow such "pied-a-terre"s to be built non-ending while essential housing and services crumble. allowing private developers the rights to say what our city should look like....
take a look @ the BofA tower, and many other eye-sores in the city....bank/investor/real-estate/speculative investment tends to look poorly in relation to real community based, and inventive architectural concepts.
to get a winning building, you need to open the site to open competition and design entries and let the public decide what would succeed in terms of visuals....
The San Francisco public would pick provincial claptrap. We, on the whole are not a worldly, sophisticated group when it comes to architectural innovation.
The general feeling is that our best days are behind us, and the most we can hope for is to produce a facsimile of something we enjoyed 25-30-45 years ago.
This here's a story about Billy Joe and Bobbie Sue
Two young lovers with nothin' better to do
Than sit around the house, get high, and watch the tube
And here is what happened when they decided to cut loose
They headed down to, ooh, old El Paso
That's where they ran into a great big hassle
Billy Joe shot a man while robbing his castle
Bobbie Sue took the money and run
Go on take the money and run
Go on take the money and run
Go on take the money and run
Go on take the money and run
The progress sought by the developers will utlimately prevail. It always does - their ability to stay the course for a decade through transient populations and administrations ultimately works to their favor. Better to force the development meet your needs (tax, open-air, recreation, parking, access, etc) and compromise now, accelerating development, than to foster a decade of bitterness.
Build your 12-14 story tower, attach the lower structure (4-5 stories) that includes the 140 parking spaces for tenants, 210 parking spots for the public and 70 parking spots for the health club. Let the top two floors of the parking lot house the athetic club that has 6 indoor courts (plus another 6 outdoor on the roof), an Olympic-sized heated indoor swimming pool, an indoor track, the aerobic studios, weight and exercise machines, 1-2 squash courts, a restaurant, a little family room and an open garden area. Grandfather the existing members in at lifetime reduced rates, GG and 8 Wash. residents in at discounted rates. And let's get on with life.
Which is why the SFBG will ignore you, not that that matters.
70 parking spots for the health club, eh? So "a lot of the users are longtime Golden Gateway residents and seniors", but let's make sure the city uses its power to make the developers spend millions to encourage people to drive in from next door and keep seniors driving instead of taking icky public transit.
Now that's good public policy!
70 parking spots for the health club, eh? So "a lot of the users are longtime Golden Gateway residents and seniors", but let's make sure the city uses its power to make the developers spend millions to encourage people to drive in from next door and keep seniors driving instead of taking icky public transit.
Now that's good public policy!
Has the SFBG headquarters been sold to Union Property Capital yet?
I'd be a lot more impressed if there was a counterproposal that actually helped improve the housing situation: say 200 somewhat smaller condos, much less parking, and maybe even a taller building that focuses more on maximum housing than maximum views. Until then, I'm going to assume that the main drive behind this is maintaining the exclusivity that already exists, and covering it in a politically-acceptable veneer of "not doing enough for affordable housing". It's not as if the developer would refuse: you can make as much money building for a larger number of lower-income people as a smaller number of higher-income people.
There was a plan to build a higher condo development which would have included more middle-income housing. THD and the SF Bay Guardian got it shot down. Now they have to live with the consequences of their obstructionism.
San Francisco is tired of your NIMBYism Guardian. It is time to find another shtick.

I study stereotyping and prejudice, and more specifically, I focus on how stereotypes affect judgments of and behavior displayed toward individual members of stereotyped groups (including the self). My research on the "shifting standards model" suggests that by virtue of holding a stereotype, we use category-specific standards against which we judge members of stereotyped groups. The result is that, for example, an individual woman might be judged as more aggressive than a comparable man-a contrast effect-because she is judged relative to a lower (female) standard. My research has also suggested that perceivers set lower minimum standards but higher confirmatory standards (e.g., stringent evidentiary criteria to document ability in a domain) for members of devalued groups (women, Blacks), and that zero-sum behaviors(distribution of valued resources) tend to favor the positively stereotyped, whereas nonzero-sum behaviors favor the negatively stereotyped (e.g., the "terrific" female softball player may receive more pats on the back than a comparable male player, but nonetheless still find herself benched more often than the male). The overall theme of this research is that stereotypes guide judgments of others in subtle, complex, and sometimes contradictory ways.

Tanning Mom is officially out of the hot seat with authorities ... after a grand jury refused to indict the human raisin for allegedly forcing her 5-year-old daughter into a tanning bed last year.
Tanning Mom -- real name Patricia Krentcil -- had been arrested on suspicion of violating New Jersey's child endangerment laws ... which bans children under the age of 14 from using tanning salons.
Krentcil had denied ever bringing the kid into the tanning bed ... claiming the burn marks on her daughter's legs came from the sun ... on a really warm day.
The case went to a grand jury ... which decided there was not enough evidence to convict the 44-year-old trainwreck of a crime ... and now the case against her is dead.
The Oompa Loompas couldn't be reached for comment.
Of course she's off the hook, there was never any abuse, if you want to what real child abuse looks like, observe the way tabloid gossip paps and such follow celebs around and harass their kids ;)
"...there was not enough evidence to convict the 44-year-old train wreck of a crime ... and now the case her against her is dead..."
In a case like this, it's a shame because you KNOW with all of her public appearances she is a drunken and/or drug-addicted mess and most likely a danger to her minor children. Innocent of putting her daughter in a tanning bed? Perhaps. Guilty of being an awful parent in general? You betcha! But there isn't a law against stupidity.
she did nothing wrong.but like always the " great parents of the world " think she should be put in jail for 50 years just because they assume she is a bad parent.
Her and Boehner are long lost brother and sister judging by their orangeness. One can only be amazed at the fact she thinks she looks good.
she also just announced she is moving to the UK where her kids won't be picked on. Obviously she has never heard of immigration rules. You can't just 'move'. There is a process and I doubt she qualifies. Just as Brits can't just move to the US.
