INDIANAPOLIS — With the Super Bowl quickly approaching, the Indianapolis Public Library decided to celebrate the event by unveiling the "World's Largest Football Bracket" on Friday.
"We really are one of Indianapolis'oldest institutions, so we knew that we wanted to do something really big, flashy, fun to help support our community during this really historic time,"said Melissa Pederson, the adult program specialist with the library. "We knew that we wanted to do something fun, but something that also fit in with the library's mission to help disseminate information and get people to the information that they want and need."
The mission became an effort to help people find their teams in the bracket, that stretches about 120x54-feet wide on the Central Library Atrium's north glass wall.
The project was sanctioned by the NFL and the 2012 Super Bowl Host Committee. In addition, the bracket has another interesting touch.
"You see just about the brackets, there are QR codes," Pederson said. "The codes lead them to news articles, videos, and pictures all about the NFC teams and the AFC teams. You can get your information at the library, just like usual."
The application of the bracket on the wall provided some interesting times as well.
"It was an adventure (to put up)," Pederson said. "It took about three days. We were taking folks way up high, about 60 feet in the lift, to get especially those QR codes up top. It wasa lot of fun to see it happen."
With the library being a part of the city for more than 125 years, Pederson said that they knew that doing something to celebrate this moment in time was very important.
"We knew that we needed to support the city, just as we do every day," she said. "We thought this would be a really fun way to do it."
The Central Library is at 40 E. St. Clair St. For more information about the Indianapolis Public Library, visit the website at www.imcpl.org.

BEIRUT (AP) -- A senior Lebanese security official says a French journalist who was wounded in Syria last week is receiving treatment in Beirut and is expected to fly home later in the day.
The official says Edith Bouvier was smuggled across the Lebanese-Syrian border and arrived at a Beirut hospital after midnight Thursday.
She was wounded in a rocket attack during the Syrian troops' onslaught on a rebel stronghold in Homs. The attack killed two journalists and wounded two others.
French President Nicolas Sarkozy said Bouvier and journalist William Daniels of France had been successfully smuggled into Lebanon.
The Lebanese official, who spoke on condition of anonymity in line with regulations, says a French plane is to take Bouvier home later Friday. He did not elaborate on Daniels' plans.

For so many of us during the Holidays we tend to pack on a few unwanted pounds from all those holiday parties and goodies that are brought it. We got some advice from a registered dietitian at the Avera Heart Hospital on how you can go some holiday baking that won't clog your arteries.
Avera Heart Hospital Registered Dietitian Nikki Ver Steeg and her co-worker Lindsey Meyers are whipping up a batch of oatmeal chocolate chip cookies with some modifications to make them heart healthy. Nikki says by swapping a few ingredients you can still enjoy holiday treats that won't sent you to the ER with chest pains. Nikki suggests using use butter instead of margarine or shortening. The latter contain a lot of trans-fat which in makes our cholesterol sticky and can build up in our arteries over time. Then she cuts part of the butter out.
Nikki says, "Let's says the recipe calls for a cup of butter. Instead use 1/2 cup of butter and a 1/2 cup of canola oil or a 1/2 cup of natural applesauce. Applesauce will give it a more cakey texture."
Nikki says to use old fashioned oatmeal not the instant because it's a slower carbohydrate and is a more wholesome food
Nikki says, "A lot of recipes also call for white flour, but you can play with that a little bit. Instead start modifying the recipe by using 1/2 cup of whole wheat flour and 1./2 cup white flour."
Nikki also adds toasted wheat germ and ground flax as part of her flour portion.
Nikki says, "Ground flax is a nice thing to add. Use it as part of the flour. It gives you a lot of nutrients including Omega 3 fats. The goal is to try and make the recipe a more wholesome food instead of a significant treat."
Nikki suggests making changes to the recipe a little bit of a time so your taste buds can adjust. She says after you get used to the changes then can go from white flour to all whole wheat. As far as tradition goes she says, don't do away with recipes that have been passed down from generation to generation that are near and dear to your heart. Adjust the ones that don't mean that much to you and enjoy the fattening goodness in moderation. By the way, these cookies really are a delicious treat that my mouth, tummy and heart enjoyed.
Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
1 ½ sticks butter
4 Tbsp Canola oil
5 Tbsp natural applesauce
Place the above ingredients in large mixing bowl. Beat with mixer on medium until blended (about 30 seconds)
Add: 2 cups brown sugar
½ cup sugar
2 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
2 tsp cinnamon
Beat until combined. Beat in 4 eggs and 2 tsp vanilla.
Beat in:
2 ½ cups whole wheat flour
1 cup toasted wheat germ
4 Tbsp ground flax
Stir in 4 cups old fashioned oats. Then 1 cup chocolate chips.
Bake at 375 for 10-11 minutes.

Once a woman has purchased your brand, she converts from being a prospect to being a customer. Given women's greater brand loyalty after the initial purchase, they're basically yours to lose from thereon out-she did decide your brand is the "perfect answer," after all. As long as you don't do anything too egregious (she's forgiving, but only up to a point), she'll keep coming back.
Marketing to women after the first purchase has two objectives:
1. Build the customer relationship and enhance her sense of brand commitment, so she returns to the brand for any subsequent or related purchases.
2. Motivate her to become an enthusiastic brand ambassador and recommend the brand to her family, friends and acquaintances.
Women love surprises-and you can improve your marketing to women by promoting contests. But there are some things you need to remember. Women don't appreciate fierce competition, and they love to share what they know. Retailer Anthropologie holds a "Wish it, Win it" sweepstakes in December, revealing one prize from its holiday collection each day. In this friendly contest, women receive extra entries each time they invite their friends to enter the contest on Facebook, Twitter or Pinterest.
Women-oriented promotions will benefit your business in three ways:
1. Attract attention to your brand. Female-friendly prizes like those mentioned below are new and different, a great way to distinguish your brand from the competitive pack.
2. Extend awareness and participation. Word of mouth will travel. Add in incentives for sharing on social media, and the news will fly. Unusual approaches are fun and worth a mention, which will not only drive awareness and participation but also keep the memory floating around a lot longer than run-of-the-mill, business-as-usual offers.
3. Shorter decision times. Contests have deadlines. If a time-sensitive promotional offer gets her to close the sale faster, then its work here is done.
How do you make her want to win and motivate her to participate in your contest? Offer shareable prizes or "chick" prizes-or both!
Shareable Prizes are More Fun
Fly her with her husband, kids and one more adult (Mom or babysitter) for two weeks in the Bahamas; or let her invite four friends to Montana for a "girls' getaway" soft adventure trip. Timberland sponsored a three-week long sweepstakes in conjunction with Macy's stores that celebrated the "endless possibilities" of being a woman by offering the chance to win an enriching life experience for herself and her friends.
Chick Prizes are Always Welcome
These are things that women love and just never get enough of. Give her flowers-a fresh bouquet each month, foot rubs or a full-body massage once a week for a year, or a library of chick flick videos and a year's supply of popcorn for four. She'll respond to your promotion and tell her friends to enter too, and if they win, they'll never stop talking about your company.Even if your end users are mostly men, don't forget who the buyer is. One of my friends went to a local store called Bleachers Sports, which focuses on sports memorabilia in the form of baseball cards, collectibles and such. During her visit, the friendly owner came up to her and said he was running a "Moms only" NCAA basketball pool-he entered everyone's name into a random pool, assigned random teams, and if your team got into the Final Four, you won a prize. And not just any prize-first place was $100 gift card to Miss Behave, a sassy women's clothing store just down the street. Second place was a gift card for his store, which of course would be shared with the kids. My friend will definitely patronize his store more because he appreciates his mom clientele.
Customer service is a given now in any retail situation. Companies that say, "what makes the difference is our service and our knowledgeable, helpful, kind and courteous people" are kidding themselves and not keeping an eye on their competitors, who are all saying the same thing! But customer services that save women time are a huge hit. One enterprising stationary store in my neighborhood defended itself against the big box office/school supply giants with an innovative promotion aimed at saving moms time during the busy season. They got the supplies list from every teacher in the district and would pre-pack a shopping bad for you. All consumers had to do was call up and say, "Mrs. Burgess's Class," and an hour later, she could waltz in, pick up her bag, pay and zip right out three minutes later.
When I had young babies and found myself hauling mass quantities of diapers, wipes and bottles into the house each week (all while managing an infant and toddler, mind you!), I used to dream about a retailer who would bring it to me in a weekly delivery. Would I have signed a six-month contract? You bet. What's a few dollars compared to that kind of convenience?
Those dreams have come true for moms today with Amazon Mom. For $79/year, moms get free two-day shipping, 20% off on subscriptions to diapers and wipes, along with select other "family essentials" like laundry detergent and non-perishable groceries. Talk about customer services. Now all women have to worry about is what to do with all those cardboard shipping boxes! Big box stores, which have enjoyed reputations for convenience and low prices, have a formidable competitive threat on their hands.
For Women, Marketing Incentives Can Be More than Just Discounts
Traditionally, the role of incentives has been to influence brand choice. By giving the customer a discount, or some added value, the company is giving her a reason to choose one brand over another. While that dynamic is still alive and well with women, there's also another reason to provide incentives: to break through women's Spiral Buying Path decision process. Women spiral through the stages of decision-making, re-evaluating previous research in light of new discoveries and seeking the perfect answer. As you imagine, this process can be time-consuming.
View Larger Spiral Buying Path
Marketing professionals can use well-aimed incentives to deflect the urge to pursue "the perfect answer," and encourage her to make a good move now. And offering a discount isn't always the most attractive option to women. Instead, offer services that are even more valuable to women, pique their interest or capture their imagination. This marketing approach leads to different offers, different timing and different language.
Current car dealership promotions are universally the same: a cacophony of cash offers focused on financing and discounts ("Get $1000 cash back!" sound familiar?). You can't tell one from the other, which makes you think they must all be ineffective.
A car dealership seeking to capture a high share of the women's market could run a marketing promotion offering special service to everyone who buys during the promotional time frame, like free car pickup and drop-off at the office or at home for regular maintenance and repairs. Or a car company could offer a chance to win one year of unlimited access to a driver/errand runner who could chauffer the kids, meet you at the airport, pick up prepared meals, handle any little driving errand that comes to mind. Actually, a really cool prize would be to offer women a one-year contract with a service that could handle all those errands. I've so often heard women wish they could delegate to someone. And, to all my women readers, didn't you start nodding along as you pictured the implications of this offer?So save your discounts and offer women something with more appeal, something that will really help her out. Add a time frame, and she just might decide that "the perfect answer" is to buy your brand right now!
Word of mouth, this media vehicle unto itself, becomes even more important for Boomers for two reasons. First, Boomer women have had a lot more experience in life, with shopping, buying, using and comparing products. So, they have a lot more information to share with their friends.
Second, with retirement approaching, Boomer women will be spending more time with their girlfriends and will have expanded influence on immediate and extended families. Therefore, they will have a lot more opportunities to use their word of mouth. Marketing professionals should care and beware! Word of mouth can be used to spread both good and bad brand experiences around this large network of Boomer women and the many people they influence.
Curves is a brand that really understands the marketing multiplier effect of Boomer women's word of mouth. Members become Curves' best advocates when they invite friends to join them. The Buddy Referral program offers members "Bring a Friend" coupons for one week of free workouts, so members can invite friends to give the club a try-and often, members themselves also receive a free month. Individual franchises often personalize this referral program for their members, like in this Facebook post promoting May as Referral Month:
Curves' phenomenal conversion rate of 80%-- 8 out of 10 referrals sign up to join as members-reflects the appeal of the concept and the persuasiveness of the "member ambassadors."

We chose Celebrity because of the itinerary on a convenient date. Century was the ship for this route and time of year. I believe that next year they will not be using the Century in favour of the Celebrity Solstice. This may be a better ship. The itinerary certainly seemed to be a very popular one with all nationalities, including many New Zealanders.
The embarkation process was reasonably good. Though the priority boarding was not perhaps as efficient as it could have been due to the fact that there were only really two people to handle priority embarkation and many many more for the other people boarding. Once aboard, everything was very well organised.
We found the cabins, in particular for the class of cabin selected, rather small, compared to other ships we have been on. They certainly were not uncomfortable. The bathrooms however, were very bland and spartan, again by the standards of other ships/lines we have cruised with. There was plenty of storage space in the cabin. The verandah sadly needed some maintenance as water had accumulated under the floor surface and when walked on, water that had collected would bubble and squelch over the surface and over the feet. It was quite a wet weather cruise on some occasions.
As ever, the staff on board were amazing and nothing was too much for any of them. Celebrity has a very good team, especially in regard to the cabins and in the dining and refreshment areas.
Due to bad weather, one port was cancelled, but this could not be avoided as the tender could not get in to land. The sea was very rough and it was also foggy. With the remaining ports, of which there were ten in total, there were no problems.
The Celebrity food and dining experience was very good. Some of the waiters, in particular the sommeliers, were absolutely excellent. The shows were good for the most part. We were not enamoured of the resident troupe of singers and dancers, but the guest acts were truly excellent and very entertaining. There were a good but repetitive array of movies to watch, both in the cabin and at the theatre. The gym was nearly always full at any time we surveyed it.
Speakers on various subjects, invited on board were most interesting and very informative. They knew how to deliver information and keep it interesting.
Disembarkation was satisfactory. Shore Excursions seemed somewhat overpriced. On the whole it was a very enjoyable cruise and a great itinerary.
Pleas note that not all port options are available in the drop-down menus here. Only those that are are rated. Bay of Islands, Tauranga, Napier, Akaroa, Milford Sound, are missing.

David Chiu's flextime
I'm not surprised that the folks at the Chamber of Commerce are all agitated about Sup. David Chiu's proposal to expand family-friendly scheduling at local businesses. The Chamber's Jim Lazarus is typically out of control:
"At some point, people are not going to want to create businesses in San Francisco when they have to go up to City Hall for a hearing every time an employee doesn't like their reason for not agreeing to a shorter workweek," Lazarus said. "Are we going to close for the month of August like France? Is that the next one?"
For the record, I'm all in favor of the French way of thinking about work. But you already know that.
Here's the crazy thing, though: The Chiu legislation is actually remarkably mild. All it says is that a worker at a company with more than 10 employees has the right to request a different work schedule. The word here is "request." The company can deny the request if would "create an undue hardship for the company or organization, including an increase in costs or a detrimental effect on the ability to meet customer or client demands."
Folks: That's a huge, broad exemption. If giving an employee the right to work at home sometimes (actually, a good idea for lots of reasons, including climate change) or the right to start or end a shift early or late, costs any money or causes any real disruption in the business, then management is exempt and can deny the request.
All the law would really do is elevate the idea of flextime to something that has to be considered if someone asks for it. And you can't be fired for asking.
If the Chamber is going to go ballistic about this, it's way out of step. A lot of businesses in the city already comply with at least the spirit of the Chiu law. I don't see this as a huge issue for anyone.
business how employers and employees choose to structure their work days.
Some employers that have historically had "work at home" policies have abandoned them (Yahoo is a significant example IIRC) because it is too open to abuse.
It's all very well saying that it just allows a request but then, if that is all it is, then employees can ask for that now. And employers can say no. So what difference will this make?
The difference is clear. If an employer says no, then an employee can no doubt appeal to some city tribunal where a clueless "administrative law judge" will adjudicate.
If you want an odd schedule, then ask for it. no need to legislate it.
Because you are totally incapable of seeing the other point of view, even when it is explained to you.
All tech/biotech companies already do because it makes sense and makes for happier employees.
My issue is Chiu and others acting as if this will address the fundamental issue involved in why people leave San Francisco - which is the school selection system and the high cost of housing. It won't. Not one single family is going to say "We should move to/stay in San Francisco because there's a chance we can get a flexible schedule." Not one. This is another feel-good measure which ignores the real reasons families move out of the city. Because addressing that would require facing down progressive interest groups with real power and our BOS is not interested in that at all.
Chiu is eyeing his next office. This legislation allows him to say he is looking out for families while he pushes through legislation like the condo conversion deal that is bad for families but appeases the tenant bloc.
Mayor, in the face of left-wing criticism, which has led to a very popular mayor. He correctly saw the demise of the hard left and trashed Daly on the alter of being more relevant to a changed political dynamic.
Speaking of which. Whatever happened to Daly and it being "on like Donkey Kong?" Is he still living in that foreclosed home he purchased out in Fairfield?
A real winner.
Where rich hypocrites go to retire :D
Actually, the early robotics drone experiments, were nothing of Leland yee ' s era at uh. Barking up wrong tree, guys, joint venture, moscow academy of sciences, rice, other entities, sorry. Honesty, people. Nothing to do with Hawaii or honolulu, buh traffic to nw and other areas. But, recall, way back, loomis armored was called to figure out some of the caged experiments, then stopped, as not the same. Sort of hybrid, such as the 8 housed together throughout their teens, flown together, nm, az, then become whinsec became fort benning.
Burman should explain a bit of partial drone experiments, miner's town growing up, Ray Duane hill of kpft, honest frank's kin history and which eri..., spit it out, come on. Those understanding protested early school of the americas, but, it was not any officially accused project, just the diversity of means to counter.
The drone experiments are pretty fragile. Ok, take one, sort of test tube brat. The mom sentenced early, forever, pregnant. From the time of conception until after birth, that intense conditiining. Los chinos? Nonsense, felix, most not involved at all, even still not, no matter how assuming chiu or other mejicano-wannabes, are still kids. What happened in the experiments before and after birth of those pregnant women, not able to be deported to the nation of origin, was basically chaotic, not really officially anyone's particular delegated mucking.
Remember debbie nathan published about people inappropriate to have daycares, considered, "satanic," when meticulously reversing the baby jesus story. Tunnelvision, basically, same type of source code modified to undo any religion, any one, pretty similar. The undo ganesh thing, pretty similar, mid-80s, to the undo baby jesus, first born swapped with test-tube-indocumento type experimenting, with tons chasing test tube type kid.
why. That is the point. Military and other devout arrogance, "it is not possible, ha, I don't believe it, show me." Wagers, bets, show us. Do a .... on, those people. "Show us some of the real live textbook voodoo involved." When that was s generic word. "They believe voodoo is real, but if you just do not believe in it, it just is not real." It was just a generic term for medicine for war, from any old cultures around the globe. Dares. Wagers.
That is what mostly contributed to test tube type fetal and post natal old drone type demonstrations. How many cultures around the globe, plus inhabiting the ground we stand upon, prepared those to serve some servile role, prepared by working with the mom when in the womb and after birth for a time? Many.
Problems were just as stated from some of DIA, bottom line.
The Berlin Wall fell, plus there was international cooperation for peaceful relations between nations. Good and bad attempts. Unfortunately, catch words, police, communism, voodoo, adoption, translated very poorly, meant tunnelvision and arrogance, none of your business unless enlisted with which nitwits, not, not, as dependent upon dia, as they know, they know, they should have always been. People tended to pretend they misinterpreted what they were told, too, when, shhhhhh, local public relations teams won out.
people still did not understand what gave rise to "communism" had nothing to do with the common use of that word. Meaningless, or economic opposite nonsense. A word means what the speaker is trying to refer to, so, sit with the speaker and take the time to figure out what they are trying to say.
and, well, remember, after Berlin Wall crash, get the aga what, well, nairobi, cairo dad's, the Bengali, oops, bhutto, Ali akbar, and, then with calls for international cooperation, what happened with gun fanatics? That word. Big long word. Sounds a little like it starts with "poliz......" ? So, trekkers, accompanied by nitwits as just body guards, why ask a body guard, about that "poliz....." word, the international, cooperation team specified, so kindly? Instead of diplomatic people? Through going through frigan DIA, remember DIA? Not code to guess, might mean, well, look at cities police? In usa, commonwealths, that word police, is used for cities. Instead of just writing down that huge specific word, to only mean that huge multi level old retired what it once was, when international cooperation was trying to be so nice. They really were, mostly, responsibly.
and for Tim to even mention climate change in his post when all he does is bitch about the Google buses is just about the funniest thing I've heard all week.
sell your car yet, Tim, or is being carless just good policy for other people?
Not that I believe in global warming anyway.
Why people leave San francisco.
The texas governor has been pleading to get people to Austin.
not just register to vote and vote, but participate. Find a few candidates who are basically healthy please, not fair that california has most sent to sacramento, at least literate and basically functiinal.
to get traffic to austin to seek jobs with every level of government, please. Now. Now, please. Please.
To participate in the Democratic process at each level, please. Choose, instead, people who are basically healthy and functionally literate to apply for government oversight jobs with the state, to make policies.
That way, all levels of government, might be able, to start a basic health, sanity, literacy test, perhaps help people retire. Help. Help. Help people retire. Complicated, railroad commission, ooooo, that jjjjjj!!! Well, pr, say, it must be that little french speaking little jjjjj, going to school in concord, california, instead of big, big, wacko jjjjj, with same names, railroad commission crisis not over little train nitwits either. Count oil and gas companies in texas? Fed. Ct. Cajun crayfish alligator catching boondocks, where?
If chiu is embarrassed, if Tim loses cause or wager, what does the future hold?
the huge crisis, was, to try. To try harder. To get the coopers to drive out there. Get all NON DRONE remaining, together, for conferencing.
Separate the non born drone experimental indocumentado test tube torture experiments in the womb in caged environments, from the unreasonable, who together tend to say what is what, loudest. Offering tons of $$$$, all the time, "if you.......you get a grant!"
Of course nobody ever stated a person in california. If course, people specifically stated those holding southern California IN CHAINS, legally, out of state, all, alll, neighboring state jurisdictions, all.
chiu, tim, cease disrespect. Now. Stop. And, think. Consider, Chan's copycat. Chan sponsored, smarter. The whole CLLA pioneers. More talented, more capable. Guess who copied him, competed, down to same tailored, same style ostrich boots, the competitive chan copycat. Sen. Ted cruz.
I'm bending my mind around the concept of municipal codification of free speech when it comes to simply asking for something from an employer.
Has Chiu actually been there? We've been his primary employer.
employer and a worker. He wants the nanny state to be the go-between.
we had two blue bins at work, I got a letter from some clown at the department of environment about not having a green bin. I told the person in an e-mail that there was not a green bin because there was not enough room as per the law, and that we had a problem with vermin.
The city flunky could not figure out e-mail and called and called, then e-mailed that she would drop by and check things out on a certain date, she never came by on that date or any other.
The city is full of idea men like Redmond who think it is the cities job to tell us all how to live, the city employees are lazy, stupid, and entitled.
We learn that city bureaucrats are tormenting the Tamale lady, and that sucks.
There are never enough laws, unless progressives get screwed by one of them.
OMG, is this Tim's last column EVER in the SFBG after 30 years of service? Is this how he is to be sent off into the sunset and down the preverbial River Styx?
You should let him write a nice memoir piece at least. Something to clear the air and not ruffle any feathers. Something to keep us all sane.
Marke will take over and I feel sure he will do an adequate job, in perhaps a more camp way . . . ?
Given the timing of the announcement (late Friday afternoon), it doesn't sound as if Tim's departure was particularly voluntary...
Well, at least we know that Marke will keep fighting the good fight for one and all.
He's a good trooper. He will continue Tim's legacy. Of this I am confident.
to be seen if he can hande the weightier subjects and lend enough gravitas.
Steven would have been a more heavyweight choice, although he too suffers from wanting to only write about sex, drugs and Burning Man. JAW has similar limitations.
SFBG may devolve into a "what's on" rag with much less political freight, and perhaps that will be fine.
Folks, THIS is the very last piece Tim every wrote for SFBG.
This is the culmination of a 30-year career started under Bruce's tutelage, and ended by some guy saying he 'accepts Tim's resignation letter' even though Tim never wrote one of those.
How degrading is that? I, and the Progressive Community, are flabbergasted.
He brought it on himself. The majority of Progressives were never really interested in changing anything. If you think you were, you're deluding yourself. To affect change, one must either try talk to the enemy and try and compromise, or start handing out rifles. Fortunately, violence is not what Progressives are about. Unfortunately, indiscriminate hatred and slandering the opposition rather than actually trying to reach some kind of agreement IS what Progressives are about. So there was never any real effort made to bring about the things they wanted. Tim was a very visible person in the movement and, when people finally started to see Progressives for the emotionally damaged and socially challenged rage-babies they really are, the public's perception of Tim's whole personality was colored by his political and intellectual immaturity.
Tim became an embarrassment. All you have to do is look back over the last year or so and see where he wrote that he'd rather his little kid walk eye-level past a line of cock than a condominium, or that crack cocaine isn't harmful to society because he once had a neighbor down the hall who smoked it and the worst thing the guy ever did was ask Tim if he could borrow a few $'s.
I, for one, am glad he's gone. And, once the rest get shit-canned, I'll be even happier :) Why? Because Tim facilitated and enabled a rift in our citizenry, causing it to be widened into a chasm. Shame on him. If a man is so burnt out that he can't see when he's arbitrarily persecuting people based on some cookie-cutter communist, enemy visual identification checklist, then he's not a man who can be reasoned with. If you can't work with people to get things done, then what good are you?
Loved the line about Tim would rather his kids walk past a line of wrinkly cocks than a condo. Classic.
Tim was mired in class warfare, identity politics and the projection of hate and envy based on stereotypes. That never helps and will not be missed.
This was Tim Redmond's last column ever in the SFBG.
The end of a beautiful era.
Understanding language, one of the most important things one can do.
Of course, some try to shoulder a lot. Maybe, 9-11, wasn't the best idea, after all, though most unners, really wanted to close it down there, midtown, manhattan. 90% of the what released from all over nys, were shipped to manhattan for parole and what? Is that bright or a dumb idea? Everybody wanted to get house movers to just move all the world trade buildings, the un, lots having to hq in nj, to california of course. For how many years? Duh.
Cartoon characters, for action adventure wagers, when physically flattened, do not just immediately puff out. Sick bay for specified time, then up as new.
A lot consider such. Ok, so, recall, chan was going to be sponsored in the office. Those boots, the braid, the this and that, every part of it, with the whole clla pioneer Harvard crew, plus what.
so, consider, Ted cruz, the copycat, following chan, help from a bit of these here, old Loomis-chafee-alumni, clique, old roots. Some people can hold up, but, sometimes, for international peace and cooperation, to help heal them and therefore heal the planet, it takes a little support.
that is #1 where the chinese fail. #1. Send one great person, way off, by its l9nesome, and expect if it is flattened like a cartoon character, it just puffs out, immediately fine. Or bruce lee, shaw brothers, a superhuman action adventure hero, by its lonesome, against impossible odds. Impossible odds, every way, way, impossible as one. Latinos congregate together in group support, pick each other up when fallen, etc.
Everything dramatized in the early 70s, to avoid, in details, was forced, in more detail, Each time. And the LBJ teams, just get a person with the same name but what, as all went through, do not do. In each way, legally, physically, forced. A Barbara cypress creek library not undoing, but totally reflecting the cypress creek haoli old predictions of the late 60s and 70s, each time forced. Each good person, once so wholesome, when held forever, each in their office, hanging the diplomas of the held, on office walls, proving they are the one held, going by the pushing of what the good person didnot want and advised against, to force it, has their sort of veterinary twist.
Do this, that. Notes of natiins top great people, shrink teams, the decent, nixon years. The twist, pretending to be the one held or dead, using sort of their own, animal science type methods. Jump through hoops, practice, doggie, theme. Not really taught, in medical school, as how to abuse humans as if animals to train. I think, take the practice run, cruz went through with roberts, romney, the rest, each medellin v. Texas, practice run, before, angel maturino resendez, real test, of the number of teams involved. Shrink-not-shrink, role-not-role, reflects, a little of that rebelled against, by radically tea partiers, right, and drone raised left reflecting it.
When someone resembles a famously trusted and good person, replaced and held, part of the animal science overtones, tend to be of the replacement ' s cultural roots in that respect. It was simply because of very old policy. Locally, I guess. Why? Because of the intense conditioning and bonding, inseparability, years spent behind bars, for someone sitting in an office of one held? Switching places, good guy held forever, look alike in his office, why? Because of the policies over time. Train everyone in his or the next cell block, a skill for release, better to teach them together to work with animals as a trade in preparation for their release, collectively as a bonding unit.
The deep south cultural roots, cajun backwoods over texas, overseen and handled in traditional terms, applied, but, rebelled against traditionally, when military forever overseeing everything, anything they want, gets into trying to do what those over command appear to be doing, it does crash. Good people, on the internet, during nixon times and before, recalled, John glenn?, many others? Held, deceased, whatever. Of course one reacts to one in his or her place, going by same notes differently. An old degree when textbooks and publishing were meticulous, a long time ago, is very different knowledge, than the experience of one with a little modern studies, enslaved to take their place after release. In addition to the bonding influence, of those of surrounding cell blocks all those years, pushed to work on pigs, cows, whatever, better focus them with that training after release per old policies in local traditiins, rooted long before lbj. Do they want to help, get involved, root for their former cell block friend, lookalike, of some famous good, decent, scholar? Meaning how well? But the team helping out, of course can be understood, especially, with animal training, veterinary focus, collectively geared up, when helping muck with a human, as if an animal to train and work with. Each actor presented in the news, a lookalike, "it's hollywood!" Said nixon? No it is not. When someone great or famous, known, is held, alookalike prepared and released to be as if them, iIt is so amateur, no self - respecting hollywood team member would be as goofy in that, as done, texas ranch farming style, submitting to cajun and out of state district bordering jurisdictiins.
It is really hard, to network, pooling a tad, deceptively, which does not help much.
Many do such. Most networks and philanthropy. They fund or network with some foundation or non-profit. Which states, your chunk is largest, you are top dog, we do what you want. But, there is an ancient chinese saying.
Big fish eat little fish.
so, when some say to each, your funds put you top dog, whatever you want. To how many. What has been #1 the longest? Silverstone? Josh what? A great book-signing, but what? Prenatal care is good. Great example. But all cultures, old ones, had sort of drone type creations for roles, just for wars.
Not just the horrible summit, sacred burial, maybe a thousand years ago? Before commanches. Apaches, coahuila roots, below 28 of Junio how far? Mixing religious and medicine traditions, how long ago? Pick up rocks, look, if it hides under a rock. There is a rock, maybe something is hiding under it. Crews, what extent of bigotry, not what people may think, in terms of how much does seed really matter? Before sadaam, old baghdad, sides. Mixed with what, prenatal preparation ancient science of droning for wars, a role of a human being, prepared in the womb, and after birth, how much, for just the role of a drone for wars?
Renounce what citizensjip, choices, on plane, will, ap, weis-sert - what on earth?
How many people sent to iraq? What about poor spain, peace efforts?
Defending what? Excuse me, what size was the older kid with rulers? How large, what age?
Osama bin Laden of syria, more clueless. Not dubai here, really, of dynasties of what baghdad rising, at least since how long? There is.a Robert Redford film about running out of water, which covers some of the ground where river levels are going down, because us.cities use a lot of water, plus other films of such areas. Trail of tears type of movements, combining old sunni iraqi lines of picky pecking order genealogical seed issues, that which caused so much, for each chui, yip, chan, matsu, pham, you name it. How long, centuries?
travel below, the combined ancient folklores. Did just the scientologist comply when involved with countless, in the math tutor, killings, the number of people dying? As a small scale war? Warnings, how long, annan, moon, ashe, all?
Who says people are conspiring with the enemy, screaming at senators? Yes, turn one away from forefathers, to undo the bad, as if defecting, has much advisory merit. But it also has a lot of limitations, too, because of old foots.
Here we go again, sadaam drained the rice fields, cities on the.border were using too much water, drying up rivers of sadaamese, heritage society holier seed whatever, how old settlements below the border, how long? Why did people go to wars in iraq, what did people fight for? The Saudi a hinted, umpteenth generation seeds, etc., syrians, bin ladens, too. Again, The hypnotism and medicine traditions combined with that before Apache settlements, centuries?
The absolute terror of so many chan, pham, matsu, bahasa, you name it, from what people dealt with, how long? Since ping lee, overturn exclusion laws? So, after Betty Yee died, at 100, in phoenix, can an old pecking order seed line, sadaam heeded, really be that defector functional, is still the question, each alice now. Stay away from one whose natural father was shared with one enforcing slavery, work camp, a decade for free, when packing what many griped about, in cabinet and elsewhere? Whose kin pack benches in higher jurisdictions, yes, try. And another comes, back again, again fall hard, organized, wagered, on radio. Sometimes defectors can stand up to some things, Renounce what, but only in limited things, often, without more understanding and support, when soviet defecting is not the same as defecting from old Saudi and syrians bin Laden described seed issues, where it is fragile.
Um... Holy WTF???
And, some bonding sisters types, doing all kinds of fanatical stuff, Randy shade provides an out of closet example to pecking order of umpteenth generation over sadaam old heritage rooted ancestry - genealogy stuff, and the hill burial site issues, get that command, to put lower seed sadaams, to kick persians? Put higher seeded genealogy pecking order seeded folk, to order sadaam, get those persians, for what?
Sadaam seed a few notches up, defecting supposedly, which is real fragile sometimes, meaning well, overwhelmed at times. Seed over sunni-pecking-order-sadaam, supposed to be better for peace? Not legally in the usa, so, why provide examples? Points being, that such is fragile. Of course, some orientals have been spooked, including any age, any time, by fragile iraqi, teams, mixed with other roots, but still considered calculated what generation whatever.
stick iraqi - male seed sired, in the commonwealth Buckingham pools, instead of just relaxing difficult born into what laws? Why? It is too hard on such, when some take a lot of advantage of that. Not fair, to chius, leland yees, chans, latino - wannabes, why, zorro - based roles, older PRI, PAN, tons more, cordoba, El gauchos, gujaratis, you name diversity.
Should sadaams, shahs, whatevers, be commanded by higher seed? That which sure scared how many oriental hopes for peace, for friendly human rights progressives in chinas and elsewhere. Being fair is decent.
There was an old term haoli, how, but, how far did it go, as far as jonestown refections? Cypress creek's,, reflecting, cypress creek docks to row to jonestown? Dubai ' s explanations? What became the haoli hisd, situation, in confusion? The seed of higher pecking order on Sadaam's line, so, ariana huffington, let's have it, for starters, a little more in depth. Alicia, the Josh lawyer, pr take, great same themes in movies, of identical issues, produced, but, the main thing, the umpteenth generation male seed line, sadaam and team always reacted to, over their heads. Just like the saudis, syrians, yangseeds for dubai, dramatized, hint, why did Sadaam's believe it was whatever seeded over his and his peoples' heads? When used, get those homophones persians, sadaam's, what does that mucking attract? Defecting from being male side seeded whatever pecking orders masses believe, how long?
Sincloas, versus what? Perhaps the biggest issue still, the sacred graves of those old natives, on the hill, still after they were thrown across the border how long ago? Where iraqis settled how long ago? Combining cultures, big cities in the usa draining their rivers dry, watering huge lawns. So, sadaam, drain rice fields, copy, masses respond to higher heritage type seed stuff.
Anyway, if the hamster belonged to one male side higher pecking order seed than sadaam, ready to kick persians, did it attract sadaams or cairo area type secret service type guards to hang around? Or excuses, next door or across the street? At the time one male order iraqi seed whatever was in eugene? That sort of thing reminds us, hybrid or electric transportation development brainstorming could happen somehow. Mitchell was considered fracking pioneer, but tried harder than future generations to develop alternatives.
Of course, it is and was excruciating to watch some who made it through linton, to the usa out of taipei, to become enslaved by iraqis on the other side again, as around here, chasing out there, as before. Why does that not help peace, syria casualties, iraq, afganistan, and other conflict areas? Cypress creek docs, babysitters, the Joseph campbell siring litters lines, if that Toby Johnson could tour taipei, maybe Judy linton's father could have a family reunion to chitchat, Toby Johnson technically which side?

5Today in Crazy Town: Jesse James Is Engaged
I thought it was over. I honestly thought it was over. I thought that after Jesse James the gross asshole that was married to Sandra Bullock and cheated on her, broke up with Kat Von D it would all be over. Jesse James would fade into obscurity, taking his evil ways with him, but no. This guy just won't quit.
He's engaged. He's been dating this drag racer, Alexis DeJoria, since September, and they've been "bonding over their love of motor racing," according to a source. Now, just two months later, they've decided to dedicate the rest of their lives to one another. You know, until Jesse bones some other chick.
But ok, listen. This Alexis DeJoria lady? She's not too big in the drag racing scene yet, but you know who her dad is? John Paul DeJoria, co-founder of Paul Mitchell hair products. So Alexis is going to be loaded one day. And I'm not usually a cynic, but do you think that might have something to do with Jesse's proposal?
Can't wait to see you walk down the aisle, Jesse! Don't fly that Nazi flag too high at the ceremony!

I hope they've already agreed on an open marriage, because if not this girl is a dumbass.
With f@cked up overalls he wears he should have hooked up with that twat Courtney Stodden & her butt ugly stripper shoes
Isn't that what Uncle Jesse wore everyday in Hazard County?
As long as his thing is as huge as people say, there will always be women who want to marry him.
What's wrong with women? Has to be loneliness.

@rlinden - I feel spoiled with all these lovely ideas if I'm honest I love Ann/Anne, and it follows a family tradition for me, so that's a great one:') I also love Maude, Charity, Virginia (my aunt's name), and Minnie :-) thank you!"While some of the brightest of our celestial bodies are actually extinct now, their energy long since cooled; miraculously, because they float in the heavens so far away from us now, their beautiful light will continue to shine on us forever, and the glow will be so bright, it'll warm your heart, it'll make your eyes glisten, and it'll make you think to yourselves; what a concept"

Just like I always thought, it is indeed a collosal burden on families and individuals.
And at the end of the day, leaves mobs of people simply burned out, pissed off and downright angry.
More confused as to their 'direction' afterwards, than before.
There is no doubt in my mind, but architectural design school education is a costly and unnecessary waste of money and talented peoples' time.
I would put it on a par, with going to gaeltacht to learn irish.
Where learning a language would be the furthest things from one's mind.
And avoiding the wrath of the sadistic 'head master' would be one's greatest concern.
The only difference is, the gaeltacht is over in three weeks.
Architecture school can easily last for a decade.
Sometimes, even after half a lifetime, the nerves are still left exposed and raw.
Sure to flare up again, at the easiest of provocation.
Sure, there is always the one or two 'shining example students', which the design school themselves are very careful to present to the public view,
as an 'average' representation of what their school aims to produce.
Which is unfair to the broader sample of students doing their best.
I have never yet once, seen a design school put forward 'a clunker' in a final public design review.
To just balance up the stats some bit, and give the underdog's a chance.
The system basically condemns countless individuals as 'wasters', and surplus to the requirement.
They are just the closet cases, like the unmarried mother of old.
Good to hear, the cat is finally coming out of the bag.
It is becoming official now.
But the whistle should have sounded long ago.
Maybe the future holds something better for masses of young, motivated people coming up.
Maybe they can look forward to something decent, once the problems are fully acknowledged by those in positions of responsibility.

The KeyValueMapOperations policy provides policy-based access to a key/value store available in Apigee Edge. The store provides a lightweight persistence mechanism for data formatted as key/value pairs, which can be accessed at runtime by policies or code running on Edge. KeyValueMapOperations are typically used to store or retrieve long-lived information that needs to be reused over multiple request/response transactions.
KeyValue refers to any arbitrary data in the format
key=value, for example
zip_code=94110, or
In the first example,
localhost is a key, and
127.0.0.1 is a value.
Each key/value pair is stored in a map as an entry. A key/value map can store many entries.
For example, say you need to store a list of IP addresses associated with various backend environments. You could create a map called
ipAddresses that contains a list of key/value pairs as entries. For example, this JSON might represent such a map:
{ "entry" : [ { "name" : "Development", "value" : "18.104.22.168" }, { "name" : "Staging", "value" : "184.108.40.206" } ], "name" : "ipAddresses" }
You could use this structure to create a store of IP addresses that could be used by policies at runtime to enforce IP whitelisting or blacklisting, to dynamically select a backend target address, and so on.
KeyValue pairs can be stored, retrieved and deleted from named maps by configuring policies that specify PUT, GET, or DELETE operations.
The following operations are supported in the KeyValueMapOperations policy.
- PUT: Writes entries to an existing KeyValueMap
- GET: Retrieves the value for the key specified
- DELETE: Deletes the key or value specified
Key/Value maps can be manipulated via the KeyValueMapOperations policy, or directly via the Apigee Edge management API. Refer to the management API reference for details on the Key/Value Maps API. The API is useful, for example, for uploading large data sets to the key/value store, or creating scripts to manage key/value map entries. You will need to create a key/value map with the API before accessing it with the KeyValueMapOperations policy.
A simple example of a useful KeyValueMap is a URL 'shortening' service. The KeyValueMap could be configured to store shortened URLs along with corresponding full URLs.
KeyValueMap PUT Sample
The following policy configuration creates a KeyValueMap. The policy PUTs a key with two associated values into a key/value map named "urlMapper".
<KeyValueMapOperations name="putUrl" mapIdentifier="urlMapper"> <Scope>apiproxy</Scope> <Put override="true"> <Key> <Parameter ref="urlencoding.requesturl.hashed"/> </Key> <Value ref="urlencoding.longurl.encoded"/> <Value ref="request.queryparam.url"/> </Put> </KeyValueMapOperations>
The key in this example,
urlencoding.requesturl.hashed, is an example of a custom variable. The hashed request URL would would be generated by code (JavaScript or Java, for example) and then stored in this variable, where the KeyValueMapOperations policy can access it.
For each key,
requesturl.hashed, two values are stored:
- The contents of the custom variable named
- The contents of the pre-defined variable
When the policy executes at runtime, the values of the variables are as follows:
urlencoding.requesturl.hashed: ed24e12820f2f900ae383b7cc4f2b31c402db1be
urlencoding.longurl.encoded: http://tinyurl.com/38lwmlr
request.queryparam.url: http://apigee.com
The following key/value map and entry would be generated in Edge's key/value store and scoped to the API proxy to which the policy is attached:
{ "entry" : [ { "name" : "ed24e12820f2f900ae383b7cc4f2b31c402db1be", "value" : "http://tinyurl.com/38lwmlr,http://apigee.com" } ], "name" : "urlMapper" }
The entry will persist until it is deleted. Key/value store entries are distributed across instances of Edge that are running the cloud.
KeyValueMap GET Sample
To retrieve the value of key/value map entry, configure a policy to GET the KeyValueMap, as follows:
<KeyValueMapOperations name="getUrl" mapIdentifier="urlMapper"> <Scope>apiproxy</Scope> <Get assignTo="urlencoding.shorturl" index='1'> <Key> <Parameter ref="urlencoding.requesturl.hashed"/> </Key> </Get> </KeyValueMapOperations>
When this policy is executed, if the value of the
urlencoding.requesturl.hashed variable is
ed24e12820f2f900ae383b7cc4f2b31c402db1be, then the custom variable named
urlencoding.shorturl will be set with the value
Now that the data has been retrieved, other policies and code can access it by extracting the value from those variables.
Configuring the KeyValueMapOperation policy
Configure the KeyValueMap Operation policy using the following elements.
name attribute for this policy is restricted to these characters:
A-Z0-9._\-$ %. However, the Management UI enforces additional restrictions, such as automatically removing characters that are not alphanumeric.
|Field Name
|Scope (Optional)
Valid values:
apiproxy, policy
Default value:
Defines the boundary of accessibility for KeyValueMaps.
The default scope is
environment, meaning that, by default, maps entries are shared by all API proxies running in an environment (i.e., test or prod).
If you set the scope to
apiproxy, then entries in the KeyValueMap are accessible only by the API proxy that writes the values to the Map.
|ExclusiveCache (DEPRECATED: Use
Scope instead.)
Valid values: true/false
Default value: false
If false, the cache provided by the environment is used.
If true, a cache is created exclusively.
|InitialEntries (Optional)
|Parameter (Mandatory)
|Seed values for KeyValueMaps, which are populated in the KeyValueMap when it is initialized. A key can be composite, which means that more than one parameter can be appended to make the key. For example,
userID and
role might be combined constitute a
|Value (Required)
|Specifies the value for a key. In the example below, the map is initialized by the two key/value entries [k1] -> [v1, v2] and [k2, k3] -> [v3, v4].
|Put (Required)
|Parameter (Required)
|Includes an entry inside a key/value map for the specified key.
|Value (Required)
|You can specify multiple values for a key.
Valid values: true/false
Default value: false
If true, it overrides the value for a key.
|Get (Required)
|Parameter (Required)
|Retrieves a value for the specified key.
|assignTo (Required)
|Assigns the retrieved value to a flow variable or simply a variable.
|index (Optional)
|You can specify an index for a multi-valued key. For example, if index=1, the value at index 1 is fetched and assigned to the variable. If not specified, all the values of that entry are assigned to the variable as
java.util.List. For an example, see Samples.
|Delete (Required)
|Parameter (Required)
|Specifies the key to be deleted.
Policy-specific error codes
The default format for error codes returned by Policies is:
{ "code" : " {ErrorCode} ", "message" : " {Error message} ", "contexts" : [ ] }
The KeyValueMap Policy type defines the following error codes:
|Error Code
Failed to set variable {0} in KeyValueMapStepDefinition {1}
Failed to remove variable {0} in KeyValueMapStepDefinition {1}
Invalid index {0} in KeyValueMapStepDefinition {1}
Key element is not missing in KeyValueMapStepDefinition {0}
Value element is missing in KeyValueMapStepDefinition {0}
Policy schema
Each policy type is defined by an XML schema (
.xsd). For reference, policy schemas are available on GitHub.
