The San Francisco City Planning Department is revising its housing plan, and there's a lot of indignation on the west side of town. See, the Housing Element of the city's General Plan calls for a little bit of increased density in some of the neighborhoods that have fought density for years.
The unwritten law of San Francisco housing politics is that you don't even talk about density west of 19th Avenue, and it's pretty hard to talk about it anywhere beyond the western borders of Districts 3, 5, 8 and 11. So all the new housing gets pushed into the eastern neighborhoods — and all the rational planning people agree that the other side of town should absorb at least some of it. Density doesn't always mean big, tall buildings, by the way — legalizing in-law units would create more housing, and more density, in single-family-home areas. But you run into the problem of everyone wanting a car — and turning garages into apartments means more cars fighting for that almighty parking space. Housing cars in this town sometimes seems more important than housing people.
So we're going to hear some squawking — and a lot of it's going to be misplaced. Because the real issue in the Housing Element isn't density — it's affordability.
The city acknowledges, in its own documents, that based on local needs, more than 60 percent of the new housing in the city has to be available at below-market-rate prices. The planners also admit they have no idea how to make that happen:
"The city will not likely see the development 31,000 new units, particularly its affordability goals of creating over 12,000 units affordable to low and very low income levels projected by the [city's needs assessment] ... [But] realizing the city's housing targets requires tremendous public and private financing, [which] given the state and local economy and private finance conditions, is not likely to be available during the period of this Housing Element."
Translation: we can't afford to do what everyone agrees we have to do.
San Francisco city planning has been driven for decades by the needs of the private sector. It's made good money for the developers (building housing in SF is still highly lucrative). But as public policy, the model has failed.
Until we set clear policies saying that the needs of local residents come first — and that high-end housing isn't meeting those needs — we're going to keep living with a serious disconnect.
Can someone explain to me what the implied meaning is of "local resident"
Is there some kind of SF resident who is non local?
New housing anywhere helps control the market cost of housing everywhere, so increasing density in the Western neighborhoods (i.e., adding more housing units in the Western neighborhoods) helps keep market rate homes from being so out of reach.
But there's a wide spectrum of those who cannot afford to buy a $600,000 two bedroom condo. Some of us are poor. Some of us just feel poor because we don't have $100,000 or more sitting around for a down payment. And a lot of us are in-between. "Below Market" doesn't just mean subsidized housing, and it doesn't mean just the needy -- a wide spectrum of residents benefit when new housing becomes available.
"New housing anywhere helps control the market cost of housing everywhere, so increasing density in the Western neighborhoods (i.e., adding more housing units in the Western neighborhoods) helps keep market rate homes from being so out of reach. "
There is no evidence over time that supports this assertion that increasing supply of market rate housing drives prices down.
Nor is there any evidence over time that new market rate housing keeps prices from rising faster than they would.
Nor is there any evidence of how many units would need to be produced over what time frame in order to potentially stabilize or drive down prices.
Nor is there any hint of what the City would look like were those targets to be hit.
The Housing Element calls for way more market rate housing than is required under state mandated housing targets, which current zoning already entitles. Apparently the Planning Department is of the mind that anything that crimps housing production is illegal, even if encouraging housing production actually causes SF to fall short of GHG targets per AB 32.
Developers got lobbyists, ecosystems suffering climate change due to added auto trips and slower transit do not.
Its hard to disprove there is no evidence, but I think you are just saying this as it sounds good and fits your world view. Prove there is no evidence, or are you just saying this and have no proof there is no evidence.
No evidence has been put on the table by proponents of those positions that these conclusions are anything but the product of arguing by "the waving of the hands."
I am not trying to argue those positions myself, rather I am calling on those who are to make with the substantiation or quit making the unsubstantiated arguments.
You want us to build housing to drive down or stabilize prices? Gimme an economic model that makes the case that here in SF that policy will produce those results given the concerns I've outlined above.
One more: You want us to build more housing because you think that Rincon Towers luxury condos compete with tract homes in the exurbs and check sprawl, then make the economic argument, backed up with data, to that effect.
Otherwise, shaddup you face on this crap, your're just bleating Chicago School economic scripture where there should be substantial evidence backing up your claims.
I actually believe that because SF is limited in space, building more unit will not bring down housing prices. But that is just my believe with out any basis on fact.
But you state as a fact that there is no evidence, when you now are admitting there is no evidence of no evidence.
So I suggest "shaddup you face on this crap" when making statement of facts, which have no basis.
"The city acknowledges, in its own documents, that based on local needs, more than 60 percent of the new housing in the city has to be available at below-market-rate prices."
In what kind of alternative universe is it possible to sustain a real estate market under these conditions? Further, when you say "the city acknowledges...," which entity are you identifying as "the city?" The Mayor? The Board of Supes? The Housing Board? The Rent Board? The Planning Department?
If you expect 3 out of 5 housing units to be built and sold at less-than-their-market value, I shudder to imagine the sort of community you would create in San Francisco. When I look at public housing in San Francisco, I don't exactly see a cohort of citizens who are grateful to the financial interests who made that below-market-rate housing available to them, so I don't imagine that would change if 60% of all new housing units in the city were offered under the same circumstances.

Henrico's Top Teachers – Krista Hodges
Rivers Edge E.S., first grade
After an accident in infancy left Krista Hodges with three partially missing fingers, she was self-conscious about raising her hands and doing finger plays in elementary school.
She never forgot the kindness of her teacher, who sensed her discomfort and always called on her to be a helper or perform some other job during finger play time.
Nor can she forget the middle school teacher who gave Hodges her own jacket to wear during class after she spilled milk all over her shirt and pants during lunch.
Neither incident in itself made Hodges want to be a teacher, but both reinforced what she intuitively knew all along.
"As long as I can remember . . . I always wanted to be a teacher," says Hodges. "I have always loved working with children, from keeping the nursery at church, to being a 'mom's helper,' to babysitting, to working in a child care center."
And work with children she does – 25 first-graders, to be exact, whose math and language arts abilities range from kindergarten to sixth grade levels.
With such a variety of students, says Hodges, it takes some juggling to plan activities that will engage and challenge each individual learner and make each proud of his or her "personal best."
One way Hodges sets the tone is to begin and end each day with hugs, telling the children that she loves them and that they are "terrific and magnificent."
"From the first day of school," she says, "I make sure [my students] know they have become a member of my family. . . and that I will be watching out for them and keeping track of them, even when I'm 100 years old."
One of her most rewarding moments as a teacher, she says, is having former students come back as student interns, student teachers and even parents, and to remember that "Mrs. Hodges thinks they are terrific and magnificent!"
Hodges also strives to provide an environment that fosters mutual respect and celebrates each child's uniqueness, and says she finds her reward in her students' triumphs and the challenges they overcome.
"Some days it may be that 'ah-ha' moment when blending sounds to form words suddenly means 'I'm reading!'," she says. "Some days it may be a high five and big hugs for a little one who made it through the day using super behavior. And some days it may be spending a little one-on-one time with a little six-year-old that misses Mommy."
Parents who wrote to nominate Hodges as a top teacher said that she has a "gift and a talent" for recognizing what a child needs, and for nurturing every child's talent and "letting it shine."
To the child who needed to read more chapter books, for instance, she provided an opportunity to read part of one out loud to the class. To the student who was anxious about starting the new school year, and to the student who had a sister undergoing surgery, she gave gentle, caring support.
One parent whose son came to Hodges after repeating kindergarten said he has done "a complete 180" under her guidance. "She is so positive with him," she wrote, "and recognizes his strengths and what to do to help his deficiencies."
"She has turned my son from a regular mis-behaver to one who listens and respects her," wrote another parent.
"Her students are ready to give their 130 percent," wrote another.
Parents also appreciate that Hodges stays in constant touch with both parents and children, sending messages even when she is sick or has a day off to let the children know she is thinking of them.
"As a middle school teacher, I would be hesitant to give students my telephone number," wrote one parent, recalling that Hodges provided her cell phone number at the first conference, with instructions to call any time with questions or concerns.
"I knew then," said the parent, "that her job didn't end at 2:00. She is committed to my child and his success."
And always, always, Hodges stays positive and upbeat. More than one parent said that she makes a tough job look effortless.
"Her enthusiasm for teaching is palpable," wrote a parent. Rather than seeing school days as a chore, Hodges' students view their lessons – even their homework, in some cases – with pleasure.
"She teaches them in such a fun way that they do not even realize that they are learning," said another parent. "My son comes home from school every day and says, "Today in school I learned. . . "
Many parents wrote to praise the way Hodges instills confidence in her students, whether through personal notes full of loving and empowering messages, or emails over the weekend to let them know she is excited about the week ahead.
"She builds them up every single day," said one parent. "Just last night, she sent an email for my daughter to read letting her know she's sorry she got teased by another student and that she loves her."
"My son," said another parent, "came and told me one day that 'I can do anything I like because I am magnificent.'"
Almost all of the parents who wrote to nominate Hodges mentioned that whenever their children are on break from school, they miss their teacher as they would miss a family member.
"I have heard time and time again," said a parent, "that kids that have her for first grade are sad to go to second grade for one reason – and it's because they will miss Mrs. Hodges."

Journey to mediocrity
'The Hundred-Foot Journey' fails to capitalize on tasty concept
The Hundred-Foot Journey is a curious little Romeo and Juliet of a film. A family, forced out of their native India, begins a trek across Europe.
The family's sole mode of transportation sputters and dies in a sleepy little French town, but the town's food culture is high, and that's a perfect place for a family of restaurateurs to settle down. There's only one problem – the family's rustic "Maison Mumbai" is right across the street (a hundred feet away, if the title didn't clue you in) from a prestigious French bistro with a Michelin star, run with an iron fist by the dreaded Madame Mallory (Helen Mirren, pictured).
It's here that a particular Romeo and Juliet story begins to develop, with Hassan (Manish Dayal) on the Indian side and Marguerite (Charlotte Le Bon) on the French side. > Read more.

Short Pump brewery offers more than just beer
I am still (happily) thinking about my entire experience at Rock Bottom Restaurant and Brewery last week. Knowing nothing about this new brewery out of Denver, I was leery of brew-pub in the heart of Short Pump Town Center – this is not what I'd usually think of as a perfect fit, and yet, it was.
The restaurant and craft brewery opened in early June and features 10 beers made by female brewmaster Becky Hammond (pictured). This is the restaurant's second location in Virginia; the first is in Arlington. Behind glass walls, customers watched the beer brewing in massive steel barrels. For our up-and-coming beer region, it makes sense that Short Pump would jump on board.
As I walked up to the back of the mall near the comedy club, I was taken aback by what I saw: at the top of the stairs was an overflowing restaurant with outdoor seating, large umbrellas and dangling outdoor lights. > Read more.

Vintage Posters and Designs. Project
In last few months I'm hooked on vintage effects and considering my personal interests in this area I decided to try my own ideas. Its a great feeling I could share this with the world and ask for rating, especially when the audience of this blog reached over 1.000 followers. I'm an amateur and all my work at this moment are not for sale or commercial purpose so be free to add Your thoughts and opinions. This is the first set of mock-ups VPD Project and I started with my favorite movie stars and topics I'm interested in. Please comment, give some suggestions and share it if U like.
Cancer Therapy The Smoking Man from X-Files TV Show in 90's. I don't believe someone will create better series of this topic. I thought it would be nice to do some poster but excluding agents Mulder and Scully so I picked up my next favorite character
Mad Dog Tannen character from Back To The Future Trilogy and a town outlaw in Hill Valley, California, in the year 1885. This is the movie I watched over and over and its never make me enough. A great Spielberg's movie from 80's and Time Traveling topic
Il Fixe Des Regles eng.transl. He Sets The Rules. Belmondo is probably the best french actor ever. If you never watched his films before I suggest you should start with "Le Professionnel" and "Le Marginal". Jean Paul Belmondo was a real bad motherf…. and he really sets the rules
La Piovra (Italian: The Octopus, referring to "The Mafia") is an acclaimed Italian Television drama in 80's miniseries about the Mafia. Michele Placido played the main character, fighting with mafia and gangs in Italy. The soundtrack was by Riz Ortolani and later by Ennio Morricone. As a kid I really liked this series so I decided to put some personal touch in this design.
Disclosure Ancient Aliens TV Show on History Channel and Giorgio A. Tsoukalos, a guy who always provokes with intriguing interpretations and his crazy haircut. This is my favorite TV Show, the topic Im very hooked on and it was a real fun doing this poster.
The Flux Capacitor Another one from Back To The Future Trilogy. I thought it would be nice to do some poster of Flux Capacitor, the part of machine which makes time travel possible. I really hope you gonna like this one, I spent 2 days doing it :D
Houston We Have A Problem This one is my favorite and the first one I made. This documentary will release in spring 2013. so Im trying to reach the director and suggest him an idea. Who knows, maybe I get the job and make some extra earnings :D
This is only mock-up designs, be free to download and share with with the world

This was a gift from LeGeeque on her holiday to Malaysia a month ago. She messaged me on GTalk raving about this lipbalm, and whaddyaknow, I got one too! It's lovely to have good friends who know that even though you really don't need another lipbalm, you could still always do with just one more
Sugar Lip Treatment SPF 15 blends reparative oils and waxes with real sugar, a natural humectant, for delectable and dependable moisture. Sweet and tart black currant oil, rich in plumping essential fatty acids, cushions the lips while antioxidant grapeseed polyphenols and vitamins A, C, and E provide protection from wrinkle-causing free radicals. It also provides essential, year-round protection from damaging UV rays. Does not contain parabens, sulfates, synthetic dyes, petrochemicals, phthalates, GMOs, triclosan.
This was my first beauty product from Fresh, and let me just say, I'm impressed enough to want to try out the range. As far as lip balms go, I need them to NOT be waxy and stink of artificial sweetness. The Sugar Rose Lip Treatment is neither.
It's incredibly smooth and glides on the lips very well. It's not waxy, so it does not jerk on the lips when you apply it (there are lip balms that do; those are the dry and waxy ones which I dislike). It also has a sheer, rosy tint that gives my lips just a subtle pop of colour when I need it.
I'm not sure if you're going to understand this next bit, but when I'm about to fall sick, or am feeling very "heaty" (it's a Chinese health thing that I don't really know how to explain), my body may be feeling all kinds of shit, but my lips have this slightly swollen, rosy tint that is just beautiful. Now when I'm healthy, that rosy tint disappears. It's very strange, and I cannot fathom it. This lip balm is a very close second to that sickly rosy tint on my lips that I want. Without me having to feel like poo.
Another bonus to the lip balm is that it contains SPF 15. Not very high, but at least it's some form of sun protection on the lips. There's no chemical scent on the lip balm, only a hint of a type of candy I can't seem to remember. Oh wait. Hang on. I know! It smells a little like Tic Tacs!
I believe I've raved enough about the lip balm. I would love for you to try it, but unfortunately, this isn't available in Australia. LeGeeque bought this from Sephora Malaysia, and you can get one from Sephora US as well. Oh, and you can also get it from Strawberrynet I believe they're selling it for AU$29.50.
What I like about it: Lovely rosy tinted lipbalm, contains SPF, smells like Tic Tacs
What I do not like about it: Not available in Australia

|The Amish Cook 2-12-13
By: Lovina Eicher
The darkness of the early morning is leaving and daylight is appearing. We are being greeted by a world of white. It has been snowing all night and several inches are covering the ground. Snowflakes are still coming down very thick. I love to watch it snow. So many snowflakes and our wonderful God created each one. We are also having wind along with the snow. After a rainy week in January we are happy to see snow again. The children are looking forward to some more sledding. Warm weather and rain we had this week probably ruined the lake for ice fishing. My husband Joe and sons Benjamin and Joseph along with Timothy and Susan's friend Mose spent last Saturday ice fishing.

Donovan rules out Everton return
Looks like he's not coming to Everton, or any club for that matter. I don't blame him, he is probably dead tired playing constantly for so long. "I never considered being loaned to a club other than Everton, but I have been playing nearly non-stop for the past two years and I believe that this decision will allow me to perform at my best for the Galaxy and the national team throughout the upcoming year."

In 2008, the world turned its back as Russia declared war on the neighboring region of Georgia. For five days, the vastly superior Russian forces descended on destitute Georgian villages, separating families, causing massive property damage and driving a fractured country into further disrepair, of which the area has yet to recover. For all intents and purposes, Renny Harlin's "5 Days Of War" should not exist. And yet it does, not only as a war picture that emphasizes the ugliness of this conflict, but as a document of a dark moment in world politics, when women and children were under the gun in front of the world's closed eyes.
"5 Days Of War" examines events through the eyes of an American journalist, Thomas Anders (Rupert Friend). Anders has no stake in the political situation in Georgia, but is reluctant to return to the battlefield after losing a lover while on assignment in Iraq. Encouraged by a wily British cameraman (Richard Coyle) and an embedded gonzo reporter (Val Kilmer, well-fed), he embarks just as tensions are escalating, and soon finds himself dodging exploding rubble alongside a beautiful local girl (Emmanuelle Chiriqui) and a rogue Georgian soldier (Johnathon Schaech).
Most of Anders' journey is told through the filmic vocabulary of an action movie. Tragic loss of former lover, check. Comic-relief sidekick (Coyle), check. Militaristic ally always at the right place in the right time (Schaech), check. Wild-haired recurring enemy (Rade Serbedzija), check. And, of course, pretty girl love interest (Chiriqui), check. With a few dialogue alterations and a location change, Anders is a bit of Martin Riggs, a little John McClane, and, whilst dodging explosions and gunfire in search of the truth, something of a superhero. Harlin, who has previously directed "Cliffhanger" and "Die Hard 2: Die Harder," is right at home.
"5 Days Of War," often viscerally violent, remains an intriguing sampling of nationalist cinema, financed in part by a Georgian government fund. It takes great pains to portray the people of Georgia as a nation of proud citizens with traditions and a culture worth protecting, many of whom refuse to flee even after the sight of tanks on the horizon. As the Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili, the somewhat-questionably cast Andy Garcia, is otherwise dignified and true as a beleaguered leader frustrated at the lack of awareness on the part of allied governments, particularly America. Though sequestered from the action in his executive offices, Garcia effectively carries the weight of an entire nation as he scoffs at the too-late meetings held by the European Union to resolve the conflict.
Harlin's film is so bracingly pro-Georgia, of course, for a purpose. In 2008, this conflict was barely acknowledged by the press, a fact driven home by Anders' quixotic quest to find a media outlet that will air the footage they've procured in battle. On the first night of savage Russian attacks, more eyeballs are fixed on the opening ceremony of the Olympics. The kind reading is that most would prefer to see nations come together rather than tear each other apart. The more accurate one is that corporate interests kowtow to idle minds who shrink from a greater awareness of the horrors of international conflicts. Anders and his cohorts eventually end up dodging mortar fire in order to find a place to upload their footage. Whether that footage will ever be aired is a question that hangs over their near-death escapes.
So this remains the struggle of the medium. What is the cost of sexing up the Russo-Georgian War? Action clichés abound, as when Anders walks away from an exploding building in slow motion, or when a character is saved by a last-minute bullet-to-the-head to their enemy from an unlikely off-camera source. In ways, this distorts the suffering and bloodshed that occurred on those days, where several did not have the benefit of having the cash our reporters employ, or the aide of an impossibly dashing soldier like Schaech.
Beyond commercial considerations, however, one has to acknowledge not so much an allegiance to the truth as much as a devotion to not only the people of Georgia, roundly ignored at the time of these conflicts (the percentage of Americas that could find Georgia on a map is likely shameful), but of the few journalists who were embedded. Were they doing so out of glory or personal gain? Irrelevant, as they ducked through the carnage in order to push this story through to the world's uninformed. To claim that Harlin is misinterpreting the conflict is to misunderstand both the film itself as well as Harlin.
This is why "5 Days Of War" has to be acknowledged for having its own specific vocabulary. The events of that war merit sensationalizing not only because they've been under-contextualized, but because they're the reflections of an auteur's interpretation. Harlin, and other contemporaries of his ilk like John McTiernan and Jan De Bont, have escaped respectability by being pigeonholed into the same big budget action templates over and over again, and here, Harlin shows that it's not his skills that eroded, leading to "The Covenant" and pallid "Die Hard" ripoff "12 Rounds," but rather his interest level. Like Lee Tamahori, he of the recent "The Devil's Double," Harlin had to venture overseas to find producers who trusted him with volatile material. "Five Days Of War" thusly showcases a director who has sharpened his tools to the point where they no longer require the wink and nudge of films like "Cliffhanger" and "The Long Kiss Goodnight."
There's a ceiling to this type of film, the massive international production with multiple financiers, seemingly-arbitrary casts (Dean Cain's presence completely confounds), and an emphasis of thrills over character - Friend's Anders is little more than a tortured action cipher, denying us the foothold into the struggle we wouldn't have otherwise. But as a tribute to the people of Georgia and the journalists who aided them, "5 Days of War" is certainly vital with Harlin's notable gifts used in service of a story not of survival, or violence, but of preservation. "5 Days Of War" ends with a brief montage of real-life survivors of the conflict discussing their lost loved ones, acknowledging that if you print the legend, the fact will emerge as well, just as long as something is printed.

I have two thoughts on this film. First, I had no expectations going in and simply allowed myself to be entertained. I don't look for hidden agendas or conspiracies and I found a pretty sweet action film with relatively realistic firefights and the ugliness of war, the atrocities of war. That being said, my second thought on the film and it's accuracy is it is no different than other "historical" offerings, i.e Braveheart, 300, The Alamo. All of these films offer up very little fact to tell a story, and one that is timeless- the biggest bully around picking on the weak and taking what isn't theirs. Both parties in this story were wrong and both sides committed war crimes but the bottom line and the essence of this story is Russia had no business invading a sovereign state. Period, and the world was either oblivious to it or ignored it and I personally feel that's the biggest tragedy of all and society does it over and over again. Georgia has the right to exist and to protect it's borders and if this film makes us aware, then it has served it's purpose and the world should never turn a blind eye to that fact again.

I wonder how many US taxpayer dollars sent to Georgia were misdirected into funding this film.
This unabashed Georgian propaganda piece seems to follow an old WWII axiom: "People will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it."
One only needs to read the EU commissioned report on the subject to discover how big a lie this film actually is.
Americans deserve better.
Anna | October 7, 2011 8:15 AM
For all wrong reasons media is pro Russia, putin on a horse is more important then bully nation annexing junior neighbor's territories, thank you Mr. Harlin and entire cast - one day truth will matter
george | September 16, 2011 12:56 PM
This movie can't portray what went on in that conflict because it is as far from UN and European Union report as this film director could have done.... Like PJ mentioned "Harlin was conquered by Georgian hospitality, wined and dined by the Georgian government, who provided him with their army at his disposal". My cousin was a victim of the first Georgia Ossetian conflict, where she was raped by Georgian soldiers... people that were portrayed as russian militia, they looked more like those Georgian soldiers that destroyed my cousin's life.

Get out of here lumping McTiernan in with Renny Harlin. Who doesn't respect McTiernan?
Ron Cheadle | August 17, 2011 11:37 AM
5 Days of War should have gotten a nationwide release and has already gone straight to DVD here in the UK. I would have liked to see how it would have done commercially if released nationwide. It's got a stellar cast with Heather Graham and Antje Traue also in it.
PJ | August 17, 2011 4:12 AM
As a journalist that covered this war, I have to call you on your erroneous assumption that "this conflict was barely acknowledged by the press." Everybody covered this war and most from Tbilisi, where government officials were readily taking interviews. John McCain said "we are all Georgians," and his wife came to tour refugee shelters.
As for the few journalists that were embedded, what makes you think this was Operation Desert Storm? Fighting took place 30-40 miles from the capital. Journalists were embedded at the Marriott.
An auteur's interpretation? Harlin was conquered by Georgian hospitality, wined and dined by the Georgian government, who provided him with their army at his disposal.
This may be Harlin's tribute to the Georgian people, but it's still a shlock action movie loosely based on the fact that there was a war in Georgia in 2008. I think the Georgian people deserve more than that.
michele | August 17, 2011 3:44 AM
We've been waiting quite a while for this film to come to the US,besides limited release we are still waiting to see if it will be released here in las vegas nevada.The story never really came clear here because of the olympics and it's coverage,but it should have -now there is this film telling a story,true and somewhat honest.For the cast ,well terrific,rupert friend( talented beyond) hopefully will be acknowledged as well as the others.Let's hope it will be seen and appreciated that the directors have a true piece of history and wont it be a pleasure to see it rather than be insulted by the filth and poor material out there being thrown at us by the film industry(more than not). good luck cheers

Had no problem with Andy Garcia but every time Dean Cain appeared some of the sense of urgency seemed to dissipate. I wish they had come up with a better script since they didn't need all the cliches.

Mark your calendars for the start of the more than two months of Fulton County budget wrangling, starting with public hearings held by the Board of Commissioners in Roswell, Sandy Springs, Atlanta and College Park.
The Board of Commissioners wants – and is required to request – input and suggestions on the 2013 General Fund and South Fulton Tax District Fund budgets.
The public hearings will provide Fulton County citizens an opportunity to obtain information about the budget process and to lend their voice to decision making, according to a news release from the county. The Board of Commissioners welcomes and encourages all residents to participate in the hearings that are scheduled as follows:
- Tuesday, October 16, 2012, 10 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. - Harriett G. Darnell Senior Multipurpose Facility, 677 Fairburn Road, N.W., Atlanta, GA 30331
- Tuesday, October 16, 2012, 3 p.m. - Dorothy C. Benson Senior Multipurpose Complex, 6500 Vernon Woods Drive, Sandy Springs, GA 30328
- Tuesday, October 16, 2012, 7 p.m. - Johns Creek Environmental Campus, 8100 Holcomb Bridge Road, Roswell, GA 30004
- Wednesday, October 17, 2012, 6 p.m. - Helene S. Mills Senior Multipurpose Facility, 515 John Wesley Dobbs Avenue, Atlanta, GA 30312
- Thursday, October 18, 2012, 7 p.m. - Cliftondale Multipurpose Center Theater, 4645 Butner Road, College Park, GA 30349
- Wednesday, January 2, 2013, 10 a.m. - Fulton County Government Center, Assembly Hall, 141 Pryor Street, Atlanta, GA 30303
The county "freed up" $17 million by restructuring Grady debt service so no payment has to be made next year. But that act causes the county to be in debt by $32 million by extending the end of payments by 8 years, from 2020 to 2028, according to a news release by Commissioner Robb Pitts. He and North Fulton District 3 Commissioner Liz Hausman, voted against the bond restructuring. But they lost the vote to the other five commissioners.
And what does a budget for Fulton County look like? Take a look at this budget document for 2012.

Council cuts: worst is yet to come for Dorset
2:12pm Wednesday 6th February 2013 in News
COUNCIL chiefs have warned even tougher times could lie ahead as they backed a further £10.9million of cuts at a meeting this morning.
Members of Dorset County Council's cabinet supported a budget to go before full council next week that includes £10.9m of new savings on top of £5.6m of ongoing savings and £3m from central budgets.
Despite the cuts to services, Dorset residents at least appear set to enjoy a freeze in the county council's share of the council tax for a third year running.
Areas identified for savings in the coming year include public transport, museum grants and road safety funding.
Chief financial officer Paul Kent warned councillors that, having identified the bulk of savings for the 2013/14 financial year, the authority's attention must now turn to how it can trim its budget in future years.
The council currently expects to have to find estimated savings of £13.5m in 2014/15 and £13.2m the following year.
Mr Kent said: "Our priority must be to focus on services required in future years to ensure we can provide the most cost effective services for the people of Dorset with the resources available to us."
Cabinet member for corporate resources Spencer Flower added: "We have got challenges beyond this year coming up that are probably even greater than the ones we have had.
"It is going to be more challenging as this process goes along."
Council leader Angus Campbell said the way the authority approached its budgets had changed 'fundamentally' and warned the period of austerity could continue for some time to come.
He said: "Well into the next national administration there are going to be austerity issues and we can't see them and we can't see the scale of them."
Coun Campbell also praised the efforts of Dorset County Council staff for their efforts in continuing to ensure services were delivered despite fewer resources.
He said: "There is an awful lot of work being done by far fewer people."
The budget will now be presented to a full meeting of the council on Thursday next week.

The NPPP is likely to be considered by the Cabinet on Thursday.
The proposed policy says that the ceiling price of a medicine listed in the National List of Essential Medicines (NLEM) 2011 should be the weighted average price of all brands that have a market share of at least one per cent.
The new formula, claim sources in the department of pharmaceuticals, will bring down the prices of 60 per cent NLEM drugs by 20 per cent and in some cases there may be a reduction of 99 per cent. Experts are of the opinion that a cost-based pricing policy that the industry has opposed tooth and nail could slash prices even further.
In its critique of the market-based pricing policy, the Finance ministry, sources say, has argued that for many drugs currently in the market, especially those manufactured by MNCs, the pricing is a reflection of their brand value rather than the actual cost of the product, so the current system of pricing, which allows some margin on the cost of production, is good enough to cover legitimate costs.
The pharmaceuticals department, say senior officials, has contended that the complicated calculations and myriad sets of data that would be required on an annual basis to implement a cost-based pricing system is perceived by the industry as intrusive and hence, vehemently opposed.
Moreover, cost-based pricing limits the scope of entry of new players, leading to stagnation of production activity, competition, and may eventually have serious implications for the availability of NLEM medicines.

Country star Craig Morgan said he didn't think twice about providing assistance when he drove up on an accident on Interstate 40 recently.
"Those skills are something I have practiced my entire life, and still today," Morgan told Nashville's News 2. Morgan quickly used his EMT skills after two semis and a tanker collided in front of his tour bus on Interstate 40 on Sunday, June 9. "We were about a quarter of a mile behind everybody so I couldn't see the actual accident, but I seen the stuff fly up into the air," he recalled. Morgan continued, "So I immediately said, 'Stop! Let me off. Let me go up there and see what I can do.' I took off [and] grabbed a couple crew guys with me and their flip flops."Morgan extinguished a fire and helped pull a man from the wreckage and then assisted with a second accident across the interstate. Just a couple of years ago he also rescued two children from a burning home. When asked if he considers himself a hero, Morgan graciously said no. "No, I am no different than any of the guys that I hang out with. I get text from buddies [saying], 'Man that was cool what you did.' And my reply is, 'You would have done the same.'"Instincts to save others are one thing, but Morgan is also known to push himself beyond limits on his TV show "Craig Morgan All Access Outdoors." Recently the country crooner found himself in a dog sledding expedition in conditions 30 degrees below zero."It was absolutely amazing and getting to experience it with my oldest son is something that we will never forget," said Morgan. From dog sledding to rescuing, Morgan has still found time to work on his new music. His new single "Wake Up Loving You" is out now. The song is from his fourth studio project slated to be released in September.

By Bob Armstrong
Anderson resident
---- — Letters such as the one written by Stephen Smith (HB Aug. 15) often give me a chuckle, although they actually are not humorous. He cited letters from Ron Husong (HB July 17) and others, most likely one from Michael Imhof (HB July 3) which implied that we need to get back to the roots of our founding fathers. How often people who have an opposing view jump to the Constitution to criticize someone even though the Constitution had not been referred to by them. Such is the case of Mr. Husong and Mr. Imhof.
Mr. Smith stated that the word God or Jesus is not found in that great document; of that there is no argument. He emphasizes that religion is not favored in its content, but then notes that Article 1 Section 7 (the Sunday exception) refers to religion. If this exception was made for religious purposes, why was Sunday chosen? Why not Saturday? Why not Friday? Could it be because Sunday is revered by members of the Christian faith (of which most all of the signers of the Constitution were) as "The Day of the Lord?"
He continued to point to other things that are not contained in the Constitution, such as in the oath of office, the phrase "so help me God."
Also that there is no command that a religious test must be taken by candidates for Congress. Anti-God devotees are quick to stress the omission of religion while never mentioning an innumerable amount of things that are not in the Constitution that are laid upon the citizenry by our federal government. Thanks to award-winning author John Grisham, I found some information that I was not aware of. Mr. Grisham is an attorney, as well, and researches extensively for accuracy in his writings, so I have confidence in his statement. In his novel, published in 2012, he wrote that the Constitution names only three federal offenses: treason, piracy and counterfeiting. Today there are over 4,500 federal crimes, and the number continues to grow.
That is only one example of everyday things we face that are not included in our Constitution. So why is the attack on Christianity at the forefront by so many? The answer is found in the only document that supersedes our Constitution; the Holy Bible. In the Book of Luke an example of the people's rejection of Jesus is shown by their statement, "We will not have this man to reign over us. And as the Jewish leaders decreed just before Jesus' crucifixion, "We have no king but Caesar." The First Amendment is great, but, Mr. Smith, you have it all wrong. It was written to keep the government from interfering with the people's right to their choice of religion and exercise thereof, not to control them.

INDIANAPOLIS — Officers with the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department are in search of two suspects involved in a robbery that occurred at 9:200 p.m. Oct. 30 at the Family Dollar store in the 3600 block of N. High School Rd.
Witnesses told authorities that two black males entered the store armed with what at first appeared to be black handguns and robbed employees of the store, the store, and customers of money and personal property.
Reports say the suspects were between 6 feet and 6 feet 2 inches tall wearing black jeans, black hoodies, blue latex gloves, and black masks covering the lower parts of their faces.
The suspects allegedly grabbed one of the employees around the neck and demanded they open the register and got away with a combined $225 from both registers.
One of the suspects stated that if the employee could not open the vault, that "his life would end." While this was going on, another suspect was reportedly holding a customer and her son at gunpoint, eventually taking away her purse.
Other various items were also stolen. One of the suspects reportedly took the business' cordless phone and forced an employee to go to the back office to phone the police before they left.
There is no further suspect information and there was no suspect vehicle information available.
Detectives urge anyone with information about the robbery or suspect's identities to call the IMPD robbery division at 327-3475. Callers wishing to remain anonymous can call Crime Stoppers at 262-8477 or text INDYCS plus tip information to 274627.

The Catholic University for Independent Thinkers
The Greek Olympics are a long standing tradition at the UD Rome Campus. The day before their departure for Greece the students dress in togas and gather on the soccer field for an afternoon of competition and revelry. The student Olympians are divided into teams and contend against each other in athletic, artistic, and creative games, such as the Dizzy Bat Race, the Orange Pass, and the Shaving Cream Statue Competition. The highlight of the afternoon came mid-game when Pope Benedict XVI took off from Rome and flew right over campus as the students spelled out "Benedictus" on the soccer field in their brightly-colored togas.

The Role of Homework in Waldorf Schools - Rudolf Steiner's view on homework went something like this: "You can give students homework, but it won't do any good -- it is not a learning experience." Daily homework at Waldorf schools does not start until the students are developmentally ready for it. Giving students regular homework when they are 7, 8, or 9 years old is (as parents of children these ages can attest) really just giving homework to the parents! At Alabama Waldorf School, daily homework begins in earnest in Grade 6, but the build-up is gradual...
Roman History in Grade 6 - "One of the reasons that I think the sixth graders find Rome so appealing is that Rome was very adolescent in nature. Strong emotions often motivate the strong personalities in Roman history. Remus was jealous of his brother who was taking control of their new city. Romulus killed him in a rage after Remus' jealous taunting. Much later, Hasdrubal holds such a grudge against the Romans that he makes his young son, Hannibal, promise to never be a friend to Rome. In addition to their strong emotions, the Romans had high ideals (also much like the sixth graders), such as courage, loyalty, and honor, which were worth more than life..."
The Adaptibility of AWS by Lisa Grupe, Ph.D.
What does AWS have in common with bacteria? Adaptability! Bacteria continue to proliferate, adapt and morph even in the face of modern medicine. They are amazing microorganisms, adapting to almost any threat and emerging stronger as a result. In its almost 30 year history, AWS has met many challenges and, as a result, it has become more streamlined, more nimble, and more efficient.
Waldorf Olympics 2013 by AWS Parent, Dave Hall
Dave Hall participated in the 5th graders' 2013 Southeastern Waldorf Olympics as a chaperone. In this excerpt from his blog post he writes about how the experience went beyond his expectations
"...What I didn't know was how drawn in I would become, how in two short days I would come to care for and take a special interest in kids I'll probably never see again, or how vital I would come to see this experience and how awesome it is I have a wife who'd be so insistent that this is the way our children would be educated."
How to Be a Child's Frontal Lobe, or, Creating a Resilient Child by Opal South, AWS Marketing Director
Last weekend Alabama Waldorf School hosted author and educator Kim John Payne for a Friday night lecture and Saturday workshop. A few dozen people, mostly teachers and parents, attended the events, centered around the theme, "Raising a Socially Resilient Child: Breaking the Cycle of Reactivity, Exclusion and Bullying." For me, the events served as both reminder and inspiration: a reminder for why I believe Waldorf is a key component in raising a healthy family, and inspiration for getting back on the bandwagon, turning away from the screens and back toward routine, rhythm, and play. And not just for the kids, but for the parents, as well...

The Waldorf 6th Grade: A retrospective look at the year's accomplishments
This year the sixth graders stood on the cusp of two worlds. Faced with the ability to imagine their own future and feel their own individuality, some eleven-year-olds were tentative and reluctant to leave behind the safe and often light-hearted world of childhood. Others embraced this new world, ripe with opportunities, and sought the freedom to run headlong into their future, sometimes finding themselves in situations for which they were unprepared.
What does an Age-Appropriate Curriculum REALLY mean? by AWS Administrator, Lisa Grupe, Ph.D.

6th Grade History, by AWS teacher Melissa Downs
"The changes that the students experienced this year were well-met by the sixth grade curriculum, which did an excellent job of anchoring the students in the world. We focused on Ancient Rome and the Middle Ages – time periods in which humans became much more grounded in the realities of earth and more separated from the spiritual world of the gods. Though the Romans worshipped their gods and could be very superstitious, they were more firmly anchored to the material world than the Greeks that we studied in fifth grade..."

(40 min. 1992)
One Person's Struggle with Gender-Biased Language
Gender-biased language unnecessarily differentiates between women and men, thereby perpetuating discriminatory attitudes and practices. Examples of gender-biased language are denying women the right to name themselves (referring to all females as "ladies" rather than as "women"), using sex to differentiate job titles (chairman/chairwoman), and using referents that deny self-esteem (broad, dame), withhold adulthood (girl), and exclude women (mankind). This program portrays one person's struggle with accepting new ways of looking at language. Our "struggler" views various scenes in which gender-biased language is used, and then he discusses these experiences with experts on language and diversity. The objective is to foster an awareness of problems associated with gender-biased language and to encourage the use of alternative word choices. (1994)
One Woman, One Vote
How could America call itself the world's greatest democracy, but deny the right to vote to more than half its citizens? Why did so many men and women vehemently oppose giving women the right to vote, and how was this attitude overcome? One Woman, One Vote documents the seventy year battle for woman suffrage, which finally culminated in the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment to the Constitution. From Elizabeth Cady Stanton's electrifying call for women's rights at Seneca Falls in 1848, to the last no-holds-barred fight in 1920, this film illuminates the story of the fledgling alliances that grew into a sophisticated mass movement. To the end, crusaders faced enrenched opposition from men and women who feared that the woman's vote would ignite a social revolution. (1995, DVD, 106 Minutes, Color and B & W)
An Oral Historian's Work
You will accompany Professor Sandy Ives through a series of tape-recorded interviews with woodsmen and riverdrivers who worked in the Maine woods in the 1920s. Watching this oral history project unfold, you will learn the techniques Professor Ives has refined in thirty years of work in the field. This film explains and demonstrates all you need to know to complete a successful oral history project. Whether your interest is folklore, local history, business history, or genealogy, the basics are the same and this tape will take you step by step through each phase. (1987, 33 minutes, color)
Tilda Swinton, Billy Zane and Quentin Crisp star in this film based on the gender-bending novel by Virginia Woolf. Swinton stars as Orlando, an English nobleman who defies the laws of nature with surprising results. Immortal and highly imaginative, he undergoes a series of extraordinary transformations, which humorously, hauntingly illustrate the eternal war between the sexes. Visually stunning and beautifully acted, this video is an intoxicating blend of romance, adventure and illusion. (93 min. 1994)

Adeline Johnson, 90
Published on Wednesday, 30 November -0001 00:00
Hits: 218
Adeline Johnson of Annandale died Sunday, Oct. 14, 2012. She was 90.
The family will be hosting a gathering at 1 p.m. prior to the service at Ostmark Lutheran Church, 32721 680th Avenue in rural Watkins, Thursday, Oct. 18. The memorial service will begin at 3 p.m.
Adeline M. Johnson was born April 17, 1922 to Joseph and Elizabeth Walters in St. Nicholas, Minn., one of 11 children. On Feb. 8, 1941, she married the one and only love of her life, Melvin Johnson. Melvin died Nov. 16, 1975.
Adeline was most at home in the kitchen baking her favorite treats and making an extra meal for anyone in need. When her children were teenagers, her home was the place to be. All were welcomed, fed and loved. She was a selfless caregiver for many. She enjoyed a game of solitaire, rummy and word puzzles. She was an avid reader, and loved current affairs.
Adeline was preceded in death by her husband Melvin.
She is survived by and will be forever remembered by her children and their spouses Bill (and Marty) Johnson, Dave (and Barb) Johnson, Chuck (and Natalie) Johnson, Susie (and Roger) Salmela, and Mark (and Jody) Johnson; treasured grandchildren Mandy (and Bob) Rees, Merilee Johnson (and Rob Wilcox), Tim (and Sara) Johnson, Beth (and Maurice) Walker, Janelle Johnson, Jennifer Johnson, Brian Johnson, Shane Salmela (and Angie Harms), Paige Salmela, Ryder Johnson, Cruz Johnson, and Jett Johnson; great-grandchildren Christian Pyle, Canaan Johnson, Reanna and Alexis Braun, Genesis Johnson, Kaleb Wait, Brayden and Bree Johnson; brother and sister-in-law Dan (and Marilyn) Walters, and many, many loving nieces and nephews.

CATEGORIES Casting, New Releases, Box Office, Newsstand, Movies, UK Box Office, New Releases, Cinematical, UK Box OfficeBeginning with the summer of Surf Ninjas and concluding with last year's Underdog, Vulture has compiled a list arguing that August movies generally blow. Sifting through the titles from the past fifteen years, it's hard to ignore their point. If Bushwhacked, Spawn and The Thirteenth Warrior don't convince you, how about Hollow Man? The Adventures of Pluto Nash? Anacondas?
August usually means a lot to America. It's big for vacationers. The sun comes out and everyone gets one last hurrah before the summer recedes for the year. So why would studios dump their worst movies at this time? Maybe it's just a coincidence, but either way, it's hard to say whether or not this August will break the trend. Swing Vote seems to confirm Vulture's dire prediction, but Vicky Cristina Barcelona, Pineapple Express and Tropic Thunder will surely find some appreciative audiences. And we all know The Dark Knight will continue to make bank. However, before you start thinking that a turnaround is on the way, consider the third Mummy movie -- and, once again, Vulture might have something here: Variety has called it "cheeseball stuff." Could that be the codeword for "typical August movie"? It would seem so.

The back cover of this album shows drummer Wacko! about to hurl his kick drum into a ravenous audience…they would be oblivious to the pain because the show was a pure adrenalin rush. Raven's first live document is a vicarious experience– you feel as if you are one with the crowd. The set is full of mayhem-inciting metal of yester-year, when all that mattered was if the song pounded you into aural submission. Vocalist John Gallagher has pipes from hell. He seems to be able to sustain notes for minutes as he shrieks, moans, and growls for a wildly approving audience. All 3 of the musicians that comprise this power-trio are very gifted, and all seem to have colorful personalities, further enhancing an already tremendous live output. "Live at the Inferno" is one of the greatest live pure metal documents– grab it before it's out of print! -David Newman 1998

Metal Album Reviews[RSS]
Another in my list of classics. Raven's Live at the Inferno captures the band at its best. Get it now.
In this live album, the Gallagher Bros. and the insanely proficient drummer Wacko! deliver an astounding performance that clearly shows what the metal scene of the 80's has lost since it left the underground. Here, you'll find a set of furious, to-the-point songs delivered with honesty and sheer power, qualities that the bands who embraced mainstream forgot along the way. Contemporary metal acts chose to forget the rich heritage of the early 80's and embraced more "cerebral" musical stylings, or even worse, pushed the envelope of genre crossover to the point where no musical identity was left. That should be a positive sign, but somewhere along this evolutive path something went wrong and we're left with results that please the radio programmers much more than the (often fanatical) metal audiences. So, if you're looking for an honest testimony of the 80's scene, look no further than this album…and forget the current 6-month wonders that shall be forgotten when the next "big thing" comes along.
I have known about this band since they came onto the scene in 1981. NWOBHM RULES!. I saw them live every single time they came anywhere within 3 states of where I live in Maryland. They are amazing live and the new album "ONE FOR ALL" reminds me of them in the hayday of Crash, Bang, Wallop and Wiped out… I remember they were so nuts on stage (the brothers, Gallagher) use to run at opposite end of the stage and smash into each other while playing and never missed a note. If any one wants to chat or drop me a line on Raven, feel free…. Or if you have any bootlegs and want to trade let me know…. LIVE AT THE INFERNO, FOREVER!!!!!!
I loved Raven as a teenager in 1983 when I got the "All For One" album. This is a great, loud, live album without a hint of subtlety, just as powerful as stablemates like Venom without all the silly Satanic dreck.
