Town Square
Uneven Pavement Sign - W. Las Positas
Original post made by Anna on Sep 17, 2013
Rd quite frequently. I have to always remember to stay in the
right hand lane because of the 'uneven pavement, in the left lane.
When is the City going to actually fix the road. It's been months
since the sign has been placed there and the road is horrible.
What's taking so long to fix the road?
on Sep 17, 2013 at 12:15 pm
I use W. Las Positas between Hopyard and Foothill almost every day, but I'm not aware of any uneven pavement in the westbound left lane or any other lane of it. Don't recall seeing any warning signs around there, either. Are you sure it's between Hopyard and Foothill?
There used to be a pretty bad, nasty bump on W. Las Positas going westbound soon after passing Stoneridge Drive, but I haven't noticed any problems on W. Las Positas since then.
on Sep 17, 2013 at 5:41 pm
I have a slight bump on the back of my head but I've never confused that with a nasty bump on W. Las Positas?
are you weird or what?
on Sep 17, 2013 at 5:43 pm
Did you mean to say that you think that there's a bump in the road?

Black, hairy tongue is a temporary, harmless (benign), painless oral condition that gives your tongue a dark, furry appearance. The distinct look of black, hairy tongue usually results from an overgrowth of bacteria in the mouth.
Although black, hairy tongue may look alarming, it doesn't cause any health problems. Black, hairy tongue usually resolves without medical treatment.
Signs and symptoms of black, hairy tongue include:
When to see a doctor
Though unattractive, black, hairy tongue is usually a temporary, harmless condition. See your doctor if:
Black, hairy tongue typically results when projections on the tongue called papillae grow longer (elongate) and don't shed like normal. This makes the tongue look hairy. Debris, bacteria or other organisms can collect on the papillae and result in black, yellow or brown discoloration.
The cause of black, hairy tongue can't always be determined. However, potential causes include:
If black, hairy tongue persists despite brushing your teeth and tongue twice daily, make an appointment with your doctor or dentist. Here's information to help you get ready for your appointment, and to know what to expect from your doctor or dentist.

Black, hairy tongue typically doesn't require medical treatment. Though unattractive, it's a temporary, harmless condition.
Practicing good oral hygiene and eliminating factors that potentially contribute to the condition — such as tobacco use or medications that contain bismuth — help resolve black, hairy tongue. Talk to your doctor or dentist before discontinuing a prescribed medication.

LIBREVILLE, Gabon (AP) -- Zambia has won the African Cup of Nations, beating pre-tournament favorite Ivory Coast 8-7 on penalties in a nerve-racking final at Stade de l'Amitie.
Stophira Sunzu scored the deciding sudden-death penalty after Gervinho missed his spot kick for Ivory Coast.
It's Zambia's first African title and came, poignantly, in the same city where 18 Zambian internationals died in a plane crash in 1993 in the country's worst sporting disaster.
Ivory Coast captain Didier Drogba had missed a 70th-minute penalty for the title favorite to send the dramatic decider to extra time and then a shootout.

In Honor and Loving Memory
of Milton Weiner
Running in the NJ Marathon…
My Compelling Reason Why
There are many reasons people take on the challenge of attempting to run a marathon. Some people do this because it sounds like a great way to challenge your physical self, lose a few inches and improve your cardio fitness. These are all side benefits for me and not the compelling reason why I signed up for this event. When I received a card from Team in Training offering me an opportunity to run a marathon in loving memory of my Dad, I simply had to do this.
For 22 years I have missed my father, thought about him often, and I have wondered if he knew just how much he meant to me. He died when he was too young to die, when I was too young to lose him. We told each other often we loved each other but there were so many conversations that I would have loved to have shared with him in recent years. I would love to be able to tell him what he means to me. Instead, I will share some of my strongest memories with you.
Some Lessons from My Dad
The warmth of his smile could light up a room. He had a zest for life and loved to tell jokes and laugh so hard that everyone would laugh with him even if the joke wasn't funny. You didn't know if you were laughing at the joke or if it was his raucous laughter that was carrying you away. He would get these hysterical sounding hiccups when he laughed…I inherited that gene too, along with my 3 children! He showed me how to be joyful.
My Dad was bald most of his adult life and had more hair on his chest and back than most men have on their heads. Regardless he was undeniably an incredibly handsome man. He had no insecurities and exuded confidence wherever he went. He had no problem making fun of himself and enjoyed making people laugh even at his own expense. When people met him they instantly loved him. Dad was the world's best salesman and could sell ice to an Eskimo. By his example, he taught me how to love myself and accept myself exactly as I am.
He was strict and no nonsense when he felt you had done wrong. At the young age of 8 years old I told a lie and he punished me so severely that I will never forget it nor the lesson…your word is your bond. I learned the deep importance of trust and integrity.
My Dad loved to play sports and would often play basketball with my brother. Feeling left out, when I was about 9 years old I told my father that I wanted to spend time with him too, one on one. Being old fashioned and not thinking of doing something sports related with a girl (he should see me now!) he came up with the idea of planting a garden with me, pictured above. He taught me the importance of listening.
Growing up he always told me how much he loved me. He would say often "I love you with all my heart". But he didn't just say the words; he said them so that you felt them. It was as if love just poured out of him. I remember as a teenager pulling the car into the driveway and walking up the walkway as he was on the front lawn doing yard work. I would notice him stop and lean on his rake, just like in the picture here, and gaze at me with the most loving eyes. I will never forget it. He showed me how to love unconditionally.
The incredible warmth of his hugs…oh how I miss them and can still close my eyes and feel them. He met me in my dorm room at college one day and was in my room waiting for me gazing out the window with his back turned. I remember thinking what broad shoulders he had and how incredibly handsome he was. Then he turned to me and gave me one of his famous loving hugs. I love you Dad.
When my Dad was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, he fought hard and never lost his optimism. For Dad, the glass was always half full. I remember he made sales calls from his hospital room trying his best to keep things going monetarily for his family while he fought this terrible illness. He showed me how to stay determined.
After a year and a half of fighting, the cancer found its way to his liver. We were to go to the hospital for a last effort to save his life. At this point my strong father was walking with a cane. He came outside and asked me to take his hand to walk the property with him so he could take one last look. I don't know how I kept my composure. I assure you, I don't have it right now. He taught me about courage.
I am so deeply grateful to have had my father in my life. His love and influence did not die 22 years ago. His lessons will live on through me and my children. As I run this marathon on Sunday, with every step I take, I run for you Dad. You may be gone but you will never be forgotten. After all of these years, I love you more now than ever. Somehow I know that you will be with me every step of the way…the wind that pushes me right to the finish line.
With all my love,
(This dedication page was written for my father before completing the NJ Marathon, April 29th, 2007)

My Amnesia Girl
When Apollo (John Lloyd Cruz) finds himself surrounded by friends who are beginning to settle down, he is faced with the possibility of finding his true love. It all boils down to one name: Irene. It must be fate then, when he once again sees Irene (Toni Gonzaga), his ex-girlfriend from three years ago with whom he had the best memories with. Apollo and Irene were a perfect couple, and were engaged to be married. It all ended at the altar when Apollo had a bout of cold feet and left Irene alone in the aisle.
Now, Irene pretends to have no recollection of Apollo, having acquired "amnesia" shortly after their separation. Apollo sees this as the perfect opportunity to pursue Irene again, and be able to undo all the mistakes he made in the past, by offering Irene the best memories she could ever have.
True love is difficult to resist, they learn. Just when they find themselves ready to commit to each other, the pains from the past catch up with them, challenging them to finally own up to the mistakes made and lies said, and eventually realize what it is to forgive and forget.

Cougar men open this weekend
After all the pre-season practices and scrimmages, the Western Nebraska Community College men's team is ready to open this season this weekend at home with the Cougar Classic.
WNCC, who return just two players from last year's 12-19 team, will be young but with four weekends of home games in November, the Cougars should get plenty of experience on the court.
Head coach Russ Beck, who is beginning his fifth year at the college, said his team is ready to get the season started after the number of scrimmages they had throughout October.
"We are excited to get the season started," he said. "We had a really good weekend at Concordia and the team did really well. We saw some progress. We have a young group, but they sure played together hard."
The Cougars open the season Friday and Saturday in a four-team classic. Friday's schedule has Northeastern Junior College taking on Cole College at 5:30 and then WNCC facing Ft. Collins All-stars at 7:30. Saturday's games begin at 1 p.m. with NJC meeting Ft. Collins All-stars and WNCC facing Cole College at 3 p.m.
Beck said they played Ft. Collins All-stars a couple years ago and their roster is practically the same. What that means is Ft. Collins will come in with an experienced team that loves to score. Two years ago, WNCC defeated Ft. Collins 92-76.
"Ft. Collins is a bunch of guys that have been there for a few years and most of them are military guys that live in the Cheyenne and Ft. Collins area," Beck said. "Some of them are former college players. They can really shoot the ball and they have some size and athleticism. We are familiar with them. Just watching them on film from a few years ago, they are talented and will provide a good challenge. They beat a lot of teams in Region IX as they go around to play them. We just need to come out and play our A game."
Beck said the key to the season opener is not worrying about the other teams, but worrying about their play.
"It is more about us right now in making sure we are playing hard enough," Beck said. "A huge focus for us this year is the defensive side of the ball. We need to defend, box out, and rebound and get stops. Easy offense flows out of a good defense."
WNCC will feature a pretty young line-up this season with only Youssoupha Kane and DouDou Gueye back from a year ago. The Cougars also have two redshirts on the team, including Peter Dewtang, a 6-foot-5 forward from Salt Lake City, who was at WNCC last year. Also transferring to WNCC from Southern Utah University is 6-1 Joel Einfeldt of Cedar City, Utah.
The freshmen on the team will be comprised of two Nebraska players, including Gering's Zac Bibb and Alliance's Christian Gunia.
The other newcomers are Thyler Crosbie of Providence, Utah; Preston Christensen of Layton, Utah; Diante Mitchell of Syracuse, Utah; Derrick Bowers of Phoenix, Ariz.; Brandon Morley of South Jordan, Utah; Austin Clark of Richfield, Utah; and Julio Guity of San Diega, Calif.
Beck said this year's team has bought into the Cougar system.
"It comes down to self-discipline and leadership. The three sophomores that we do have are hard workers and they lead by example," he said. "They make the right decisions and are around the right people and that is half the battle. They have bought in and they have drank the Kool-aid as they say in that they believe in what we are doing and the freshmen fall in line. All we have to do is the little things and if we do enough of the little things, big things will happen."
Beck added this young team played its best ball this past weekend in scrimmages at Concordia University, where they faced pre-season No. 2 ranked Indian Hills Community College. WNCC also will be tested during the regular season as they face No. 9 South Plains College, No. 13 College of Southern Idaho, No. 17 Salt Lake Community College, and No. 25 North Platte Community College. South Plains will travel to Scottsbluff next weekend.
"We have a lot of good games this year. The pre-season polls came out and as I look at the Top 25, our guys have a chip on their shoulder but they realize we will earn respect by going out and beating good teams. South Plains, CSI, Salt Lake, and North Platte are all ranked. It will be a good opportunity for us to play South Plains, CSI and Salt Lake when the time comes, but we have to focus on the game in front of us."
Beck said while defense will be the main focus, this team has some shooters and once everything comes together, things should pay off down the stretch.
"We have a lot of shooters on our team. We have a couple of posts that score on the block," he said. "We are not as athletic as our team was two years ago, but at the same time we move the ball a little bit better. This team has a good basketball IQ. This will be a fun year and will be a fun group to watch."

Excellent chicken salad recipe! I made this to share at a wine tasting picnic, and everyone loved it! The store didn't have croissants, so I served it on those Hawaiian rolls instead. The salad was delicious on those as I'm sure it would be on croissants. This is a keeper!
Reviewed Aug. 7, 2011
I loved this recipe so much that I made this in the cafe I managed and it was an immediate hit. I also made this at a family event and my 19 yo brother, my sister, and my mother all request this recipe from me at lease twice per year. It is by far my favorite chicken salad recipe!

My husband doesn't like celery, cranberries, or mayo BUT we both devoured this in minutes! YUM!

Apple and Microsoft topped the list of InfoWorld's annual product award winners this year, nabbing three and four Technology of the Year Awards, respectively. Announced today, InfoWorld's 2009 Technology of the Year Awards recognize the best hardware and software products evaluated by InfoWorld reviewers during 2008.
Microsoft's four prizes include two for development tools and two for small-business solutions. Best Integrated Development Environment went to the matchless Visual Studio 2008, while Best Rich Internet Application Platform went to Silverlight 2 -- which shares the award with Adobe Flash, Flex, and AIR. We don't like ties, but we're so impressed with the Microsoft and Adobe offerings that we couldn't choose between them.
[ Take a slideshow tour of InfoWorld's 2009 Technology of the Year Award winners in Applications, Middleware, and Data Management | Application Development | Platforms and Virtualization | Systems and Storage | Networking and Security ]
Microsoft knows developers, and clearly Microsoft knows small businesses too. Combining enterprise-class functionality and supreme ease of use, Small Business Server 2008 -- our Best Small Business Server -- had the SMB formula down to an art form. Microsoft also won Best Small Office VoIP System for the brilliantly simple Response Point. It's short on sophistication but long on ease of administration and ease of use.
If it weren't for the supremacy of Oracle Database, the impressive SQL Server 2008 release would have landed Microsoft a fifth award. But our prize for Best Database went to the incomparable Oracle Database 11g, a titanic release with capabilities -- namely Real Application Testing and Active Data Guard -- that DBAs previously could only dream about.

Embarkation was fast being a suite guest - bypassed line and was on ship fast. Luggage didn't show up fast, most others had theirs before we got ours. Cabin attendant provided no better service than in regular stateroom. Suite was nice, glass on balcony was filthy - I actually bought a squeegee in St Croix and washed it myself everyday - well worth it - we enjoyed the large balcony and spending time watching waves go by.
My time dining has diluted the dining experience - servers don't see you every night and don't get to know you like they used to. Our waiter was so-so; our assistant waiter was great and walked over even when we weren't at his table.
Prebooked (and prepaid) couples massage - my wife's was OK, mine felt like I was getting a massage from an untrained person who had no business charging me for a massage. When I complained and wanted to enforce the 1--% satisfaction guarantee on the wall - they balked because I had prepaid and offered me a 20 percent discount. So as not to embarrass my wife, I walked away. Mistake. RCCL will not respond to me. A word to the wise, get your massages on land for half the money or seriously lower your expectations.
The Jewel also does some lounge acts in their atrium - very loud and bothersome in cabins close to atrium. - They did do a very nice 4th of July patriotic program - a sing along with old standards - wife loved that.
Debarkation very smooth -was at SJU airport VERY early.
I guess I have to lower my expectations with RCCL - the 150 percent surcharge we paid to be in a suite was mostly for naught - all we really got was a larger room. Celebrity obviously feels better, and their suite product is not just slightly better, it is orders of magnitude better.

Rebounding from a rough couple weeks, the Golden State Warriors won their second straight game by knocking off the Los Angeles Clippers, 106-99, on Monday. Playing against arguably the best point guard in the league, the Warriors' lead guards thrived en route to victory.
For more on the story, visit Golden State Of Mind and Clips Nation
While Chris Paul is often referred to as the NBA's best point guard, that certainly wasn't the case on Monday. Warriors guards Stephen Curry and Jarrett Jack both put up big numbers against Paul, who finished the game with just four points on 1 of 7 shooting, though he did record nine assists and a pair of steals.
Curry was especially impressive, knocking down 6 of 8 shots from three-point range as part of a 28-point effort to lead Golden State. Jack didn't have the same scoring numbers, putting up 18 points on 7 of 15 shooting, but he added six rebounds and a team-high 10 assists.
L.A. actually led by seven points going into the fourth quarter, but the Warriors dominated the final 12 minutes, 33-19, to get the win.
With Paul being held relatively quiet, Blake Griffin kept the Clippers in the game with a big all-around performance. Nearly having a triple-double on the day, Griffin scored 26 points and grabbed 13 rebounds in addition to dishing eight assists. He was also active on defense, recording three steals and two blocks without recording a single foul.
Long Distance Advantage
In most aspects of Monday's game, the Clippers and Warriors played each other fairly close. Golden State made just one more field goal, grabbed fewer rebounds and recorded more turnovers, but one statistic stands out: three-point shooting.
L.A. had a really tough time from long range throughout the game, making just 11 of 30 attempts from beyond the arc against a fast-moving Warriors defense. Golden State, on the other hand, rode the hot hand all night, making 12 of 22 shots from three-point range.

A program to help homeless veterans has bought its first home in Atlanta to house those in need.
The PACE program helps veterans adjust to civilian life by providing them jobs and a place to stay.
Veterans say it's very difficult to settle back into a normal life after war. They say PACE has been a lifesaver.
The PACE program plans to purchase 30 more homes in the metro Atlanta area.

- Peel shallots or onion and cut in half from top to root. Lay the cut sides flat on a board and thinly slice. Very finely slice the lemongrass, starting at the thinner end, stopping towards the base when it gets tough (often described as 'woody' and white in the centre).
- Heat the oil in a wok or large saucepan for a couple of minutes until the oil separates (it looks more liquid at this point). Add the shallots or onion. Fry for 3-5 mins, until soft and translucent. Stir in the curry paste and cook for 1 min, stirring all the time.
- Add chicken pieces and stir until they are coated. Add the lemongrass, fish sauce, sugar, kaffir lime leaves and coconut milk. Bring slowly to the boil, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 15 mins until the chicken is cooked. Stir the curry a few times while it cooks, to stop it sticking and to keep the chicken submerged.
- While the chicken is cooking, strip the leaves from the coriander stalks, gather into a pile and chop very roughly. Taste the curry and add a little more curry paste and salt if you think it needs it. Stir half the coriander into the curry and sprinkle the rest over the top. Serve with Thai jasmine or basmati rice.
Recipe from Good Food magazine, March 2006
Comments, questions and tips
1. Never use reduced fat coconut milk to make a Thai curry, that's why it turns watery. "Reduced fat" simply means they have replaced the milk with water & emulsifiers which break down on cooking. Look for at least 45% coconut content and the fewer ingredients listed the better.
Step 2. "Heat the oil in a wok or large saucepan for a couple of minutes until the oil separates (it looks more liquid at this point)." You could heat it for several hours, vegetable oil doesn't separate. Coconut milk separates but that's another step and another story.Seriously messed up recipe.
Step 4. "strip the leaves from the coriander stalks, gather into a pile and chop very roughly. "
In Thai cookery you use the stalks and you would add them with the lemongrass.
Have just cooked this and I followed it exactly, simmered for 15 minutes as instructed and the sauce is like grey greasy dishwater - it has completely split, it has the consistency of water. I don't know what I did but I noticed another comment about it splitting too. Maybe its the juice from the chicken, maybe its the coconut milk, I've always used coconut cream before with no problem. Whatever it was, I'm embarassed to put it in front of the family! Not the creamy texture you expect of a Thai curry.
I am cooking this now and after simmering for 15 minutes as instructed the sauce is grey and the consistency if water, far thinner than when coconut milk was first added. It could be the water or juice from the chicken but it looks pretty unappetising. Certainly not the creamy texture I would expect from a Thai curry.
my 9yr old son made this last night under my supervision, he did add more thai curry paste than the recipe stated but the results were fab, his little sis doesnt like spicy food but she enjoyed it so much (gave her a glass of milk so she could handle the spicyness). We will be having this regularly as it was delicious. served it with boiled rice and naan bread
Excellent! Two errors in the recipe, however:
a) Use 3-4 TABLEspoons of paste, not teaspoons
b) You add the finely chopped lemongrass at the very beginning along with the shallots/onion.
Has a great balance of sweet and sour tastes. It does need something like mangetout or sugar snaps or something like that added for a crunchy texture (mangetout sliced in two added three minutes before the end were great). It is very mild (even when you correct the error in the recipe) so add red chillis or whatever if you want even a hint of a 'kick'.
This recepie is incredible, definitely worth the 5* rating. Made this for my partner who is an extremley fussy eater and he thoroughly enjoyed it. Quick & easy to make with a few adjustments:
4 tablespoons of Red Thai Curry Paste rathen than 3-4 teaspoons
Zest of one Lime because I didnt have Kaffir Lime Leaves
Enjoy :)

The two defining votes of 2012
The Board of Supervisors will be facing two votes in the next couple of months that will define this board, establish the extent of the mayor's political clout -- and potentially play a decisive role in the political futures of several board members.
Oh: They'll also have a lasting impact on the future of this city.
I'm talking about 8 Washington and CPMC -- one of them the most important vote on housing policy to come along in years, the other a profound decision that will change the face of the city and alter the health-care infrastructure for decades to come.
Both projects have cleared the Planning Commission, as expected. Neither can go forward without approval from a majority of the supervisors. And there will be intense downtown lobbying on both of them.
The 8 Washington project would create what developer Simon Snellgrove calls the most expensive condos ever built in San Francisco. A piece of waterfront property would become a gated community for the very, very rich, many of whom won't even live here most of the time. If it's approved, the economy won't collapse, neighborhoods won't be destroyed -- but it will make a powerful statement about the city's housing policy. The message: We build housing for the 1 percent. We are a city that caters only to one very tiny group of people. We are willing to let the needs of the few drive our policy over the needs of the many.
Face it: There is no shortage of housing for the people who will buy Snellgrove's condos. There's a severe shortage of housing for most of the people who actually work in San Francisco. And the city's housing policy is so scewed up that it's making things worse. That's the message of 8 Washington.
Then there's CPMC. California Pacific Medical Center wants to put a snazzy state-of-the art new medical center on Van Ness, which is all well and good. But the giant nonprofit Sutter Health, which operates CPMC, has been openly hostile to some of the city's demands (for housing, transit and other environmental mitigiation) and the proposal that Mayor Ed Lee has signed off on is way out of balance. There's not anything even close to a reasonable link between jobs and housing -- which will impact the entire city. You bring in a lot of new workers and don't help build enough housing for them and everyone's rent goes up.
CPMC also wants to radically downsize St. Luke's Hospital, the only full-service facility on the south side of town except for the overcrowded and overloaded SF General. Health care for a sizable part of the city will suffer.
This is a very big deal, and the Chamber of Commerce is pushing hard for the supes to approve it. A lot of labor and the entire affordable housing community is against it.
So put those two votes in front of a board where the progressive majority has been very shaky of late -- and where Lee will be working hard to line up six votes -- and you've got potential political dynamite. Supervisor John Avalos told me he has serious concerns about both projects. Sup. David Campos told me he feels the same way. Sup Eric Mar is unlikely to vote for 8 Washington and unlikely to oppose the health-care workers and the progressive leaders who want to block the CPMC deal and make Sutter come back with a better offer, but some elements of labor are pushing hard for 8 Washington and Mar is up for re-election in one of the city's swing districts.
Sup. David Chiu is against 8 Washington. I've called Sups. Jane Kim and Christina Olague (who was not a fan of the project when she was on the Planning Commission) but they haven't gotten back to me. Olague is running for re-election this fall in the city's most progressive district, one that's right on the edge of the CPMC project site; Kim's district is on the other edge.
You can't really count to six on either of these projects without getting Chiu and/or Kim and/or Olague. Chiu has no progressive opposition, but if he supports the CPMC deal, someone may decide to challenge him. If Olague supports either project, it will give her opponents plenty of fodder for the fall campaign (John Rizzo, who is running against her, told me he opposes both). If Olague opposes the two projects, it's going to be much harder for anyone to run against her from the left since she will have demonstrated that she can stand up the mayor on tough issues.
I'll let you know if I hear more.
will also be critical. Extremely critical especially to Eric Mar - and he knows it.
Greate post. Keep posting such kind of info
on your site. Im really impressed by it.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts about dog racing.
Good post. Alleinstellungsmerkmale
Ridiculous. Love the veiled threat to Chiu if he doesn't vote how you tell him to. I wonder if Bruce is counted in the 1% - how about when he sells the guardian building? Do as I say, not as I do. Right ?
I haven't been able to confirm the profile of the SFBG real estate buyer that commenters are posting in this thread.
Isn't our goal to work to evolve the system to NOT just sell to the highest bidder, but to also consider the intensions of the buyer? Wouldn't it have been a better strategy to sell to someone who could then develop outside the constraints of the highest market price? (Affordable housing, Non-profit business space, Artist Studios, etc etc.)
So what, developers want to build expensive condos on prime real estate. Shocker. Gee, why don't we build a bunch of low income housing down there and just flush the tax dollars down the drain?
As for CPMC. Mi think what the city is doing is shameful. We are basically shaking down a non profit that needs to build a new hospiTal due to the new earthquake regs. We already got they to commit to new housing but we want more. Because of course the cathedral hill site is doing oh so much as a spot for occupy to sit in. As for the argument on st. Lukes, please, the new hospital will be less than 4 miles away. And general is still in the vicinity. Get over it.
The poor non-profit makes $150m a year tax free money. You're worried about tax payer dollars and you argue that SF General is close by, but that's more of your tax payer dollars going into CPMC's pocket as they downsize St. Lukes and low income folks in the southeastern neighborhoods have to go to SF General.
The seismic argument is terrible because they could have just rebuilt on the sites they have and the City wouldn't have been able to shake anyone down, but they are doing a whole new project and trying to use the 'earthquake regs' as a way to quickly push through something that still has some flaws.
"why don't we build a bunch of low income housing down there and just flush the tax dollars down the drain?"
That's easy to explain. Tim doesn't care about the money that the wealthy bring to the city, he only cares about the social engineering that we could do with it.
See? It's actually quite simple.
>"but it will make a powerful statement about the city's housing policy. The message: We build housing for the 1 percent. We are a city that caters only to one very tiny group of people. We are willing to let the needs of the few drive our policy over the needs of the many."
Maybe it would help if I point that that the 'powerful message' exists only in the mind of the SFBG and nowhere else. The rest of us see a piece of prime waterfront real estate and understand that, if housing goes there that it will be expensive. We understand something about economic realities. The concept of BMR housing being built on one of the most desirable plots in the country is a non starter. It's called 'reality' and most people outside of the SFBG can understand that.
BTW, gated community?? Right now there is LITERALLY a 15 foot high wall around the site. 8 Washington would be considerably more open. It is amazing what the SFBG refuses to see because of their rabid devotion to dogmatic policy.
You write another tired article about how we need to stop this city from catering to the very rich and the evils of real estate speculators...
And you just sold your building, for a cool 28% profit, after using government money to finance it, and you sold it to a fucking *real estate investment firm*, that specializes in gentrification throughout the City.
Real estate speculators writing about the evils of real estate speculators.
The Guardian has never walked the talk and we all know that. From Bruce busting the newsroom union in the 70s to him selling the Guardian to an out-of-state conglomerate to raking in the bucks from real estate speculation - they've always let their actions speak louder than their words.
It's a fatal chink in the progressive armor and they know that. God forbid they actually practiced what they preach - then we'd have to take them seriously.
So progressives such as Bruce and Jean who put in DECADES of hard work running the Bay Guardian and fought the good fight for DECADES can't sell their building to the highest bidder??? And they can't because they are progressives???
Gee what other restrictions do you want to put on progressives? Should progressives not be able to buy a stock low and sell it high because that may result in a profit - and you're going nuts over B & J making "a cool 28% profit" - HOW DARE PROGRESSIVES MAKE $ FOR THEMSELVES!!!
Get a fucking life loser. They can sell the building to whoever they want - the sale of the building is not going to affect City policy unlike the issues the BG takes positions on like 8 Washingon and the hospital at Geary and Van Ness.
You want progressives to stay poor so they have no power. You're the hypocrite since you want one set of rules for those with power (make all the profit you want - even to the pt of making govt powerless to stop acts that are detrimental to society at large) while saying those fighting the powerbrokers can't use any of those rules (how dare they make "a cool 28% profit").
Let me make sure I understand this...someone who owns property in this city is free to sell it to the highest bidder UNLESS the SFBG designates it as a policy issue.
I just want to be sure that I understand the rules that we must live by, as determined by our overlords the Progressive Movement and their house organ, the SFBG.
Remember, in a democracy like ours the majority rules, except if 20% of the people are Progressive in which case the 20% rules.
Okay, does that make me any less of a loser?
Maybe if you were to stop watching Rupert Murdoch's sad excuse for tv, an idiotic rightwing propaganda channel (Faux TV), you might make some sense once in a while.
Since your whole premise is that Bruce and Jean shouldn't be able to sell their property to a willing buyer because this is hypocrisy according to you, why don't you give examples of where the BG said a seller of property couldn't sell it to the highest bidder. I missed the editorial so maybe, if you can't provide the link, you can provide the details of one or more editorials that demonstrates B & J being hypocrits for selling their property to a willing buyer.
As for your first sentence ("Let me make sure I understand this ..."), so that's how you read the post you're responding to??? Are you blind such that you don't see words that are there or is it that you see words that aren't there? For that's not what the post said. Now of course the likely explanation for your mistake is that you can see and understand just fine but that you want to purposely distort what was written in the post you're responding to.
So to prove to everyone here that you're not an idiotic with a single-digit IQ (or play one here), why don't you quote from that post that would show the writer of that post said that sellers of property can sell their property to the highest bidder unless the BG designates it as a policy issue.
Unless you can show that, you're either someone with severe reading comprehension problems or choose to act as if you had such problems so that you can play the "let's distort the meaning and try to score some propaganda points."
Okay show it. Quote the exact words from the post in showing it. If you don't respond to the exact quote and only the exact quote (not your rightwing, idiotic distortion), then it's fair to call you a single-digit IQ idiot even if you're just pretending to be one.
>"why don't you give examples of where the BG said a seller of property couldn't sell it to the highest bidder."
Yes, in this article. It says that the Port of San Francisco can't sell the 8 Washington property to Snellgrove.
Do you want to tell me again about MY reading comprehension ability? I understand your frustration. Stick with it, you'll get there!
So you are actually going on record as equating a public agency selling property to a private party selling property??? Of course that's absurd since there's a huge difference a private party and a govt agency. For BG owners to be hypocrits, you'd have to show where they advocated that a private party couldn't sell it to the highest bidder since ** THEY ARE A PRIVATE PARTY AND THE PORT OF SF IS A PUBLIC GOVERNMENT AGENCY. ***
I'm putting that in caps because apparently you think ignoring the enormous diff betw the two allows one to pretend there's no diff. The net's a wonderful thing to learn what those differences are so get at it (unless you're just playing being that ignorant).
So until you can find where they advocated that a PRIVATE PARTY - for that is what is req'd for the hypocrite charge to have any basis since THAT'S WHAT THEY ARE - could not sell a building to a private party, you got nothing and you're left to using the old trick conservatives play which is to play stupid and hope their opponent falls for the stupidity and thus win the argument.
The only buyers of that argument are other conservatives who really are stupid - like that Sambo dummy who didn't realize you were playing the stupid card and showed himself to actually BE stupid by treating it as a legit argument (proving he's clueless that there's huge diffs betw private parties and government agencies and thus a complete case of apples and oranges).
I see also you've also failed to back up your statement: "Let me make sure I understand this...someone who owns property in this city is free to sell it to the highest bidder UNLESS the SFBG designates it as a policy issue" when I asked you to quote me showing that's what I said. Good move - you lost on that one too and you knew it.
Now that I think about it, Tim and the SFBG have never criticized or opposed anyone trying to sell a property to developers or developing it themselves.
I had thought that Tim had come out against 555 Washington (http://www.sfbg.com/2010/01/20/stop-transamerica-condo-high-rise) and the Examiner building (http://www.sfbg.com/politics/2011/11/18/chron-owner-exploits-its-most-va...) but I was wrong, neither event ever happened!
The SFBG always supports the rights of property owners to maximize the value of their property, just as they have now done with their own property.
Thanks for correcting me!!!
Owned again!
Troll, your partner in stupidity (Matlock) tried that link already. Apparently dummies think alike. You might want to ACTUALLY READ what you post and see IF IT REALLY IS EVIDENCE the BG is advocating a private partner can't sell to the highest bidder. That was the basis of the hypocrisy charge remember??? Are U having trouble staying on topic???
That link is about a corp wanting to BUILD a building NOT SELL a building. Surely that shouldn't be too confusing to those brain cells of yours but I guess it is.
I'm not gonna try the second link because if you get it so wrong on the first, I'm not gonna waste my time on the second. Next time, post the link then quote from it so I can see if those brain cells of yours figured out the meaning of the word "sell" as in a PRIVATE PARTY selling a building where the BG said they shouldn't be able to.
...should be a good therapist. Seriously, what is all the interest in my brain cells just because you don't agree with me? You're thinking that I must be deficient because I don't see things the same way that you do? I do feel sorry for you but only to a certain extent. Get some help! You don't have to be pathetic your whole life, you can improve!
The Guardian has a long history telling people that they are too greedy and what they can do with their property.
Now they are selling to a developer, when luxury condos or dot com-ers move into that space, the remnants of the Guardian will be complaining about others doing it.
It may be laughable to you but THE FACT IS you couldn't find an example where the BG advocated that a PRIVATE party should not be able to sell their property to the highest bidder for that property.
Did you read that link you provided? Are you new at this internet thing because it appears you've made a big mistake - unless you really think the BG advocating a public agency (the Planning Commsn) to take a particular action (and nothing about selling a building but about construction of a building) is equivalent to a PRIVATE party selling their building to the highest bidder.
Are you and the troll guy the same one? Because both of you apparently can't figure out the diff betw a public govt agency and a private party. But even he didn't confuse "selling a building" and "building a building" like you did.
Instead of posting irrelevant links, find a link where the BG advocated that a PRIVATE party couldn't sell their bldg to the highest bidder - the OP called the BG hypocrites and you are agreeing with him so one of you fools need to find the example of where they advocated that that shouldn't be done while doing it themselves.
Can you do it? If you can, do it and stop posting irrelevant links that make you come off like you stayed in the boxing game a little too long.
Nice deflection.
The Guardian is happy for property to change hands, it is when those people want to use that property that they freak out.
The Guardian has sold to a developer who is going to do it's best dot com or condo that shit out of that place.
Like, really? Seriously? Placing a cap on profit, *particularly* when it comes to real estate, has been a key element of the Guardian's platform for pretty much ever. And especially over the past 10 years.
Good lord - now we have to show YOU proof? No, search archives for 35 seconds, lazy ass.
Now what makes this all so egregious is the company they sold out to. Clearly you don't understand what Union Property Capital is about. They are quite possibly the polar opposite of everything SFBG claims to stand for. I work in the industry - I know them very well - and they will bulldoze your shitty rent controlled apartment if it means an additional four dollars on their annual balance sheet.
This IS a legendary sell out.
You may not like the fact that UPC bought it but to blame Bruce B and Jean D for the state of the real estate industry is absurd. The editorials and stories the BG put out were and are about public policy. Apparently what you want is for govt to put more limits on what UPC could do with the property - just the kinds of stuff the BG wrote about and advocated for.
It's ironic that all the ppl here who jump on the BG as being this "socialist, commie" newspaper (they don't use those exact words - at least most of the time - but the meanings of their words are pretty much exactly that) are just OUTRAGED and SHOCKED that BB & JD don't take a vow of poverty and sell it for a loss to an entity that is approved by all the BG critics.
Fact of the matter is any private party has the right to look out for their financial interests. Cities don't get "saved" or bettered at the level of an individual RE transaction - whether it's BB & JD or anyone else.
No, cities get saved by PUBLIC POLICY that applies to ALL real estate transactions - you know the thing BB & JD and the BG spoke out about for almost 50 years - and got attacked constantly by the big money interests who didn't want a media outlet advocating such things AND attacked here constantly BY THE SAME PEOPLE for those same reasons who now attack them for taking an action in THEIR PRIVATE LIFES that makes financial sense to them.
Their critics (the only ones on this fuckin MB) are too much - they hate the BG folks for being "socialists" (because they advocate for policies beneficial to the vast majority) and then attack them for looking after themselves like anyone else would in their private lives (it's only them that's supposed to take the vow of poverty). If their critics had any clue, they'd EITHER agree with them in their public policy recommendations or else they'd STFU because by hitting them for their public policy recs while attacking them for "the big 28% profit" (over a 10 yr period) - they are advocating really one thing, they should not have the same freedom as anyone else. Only the rich should be able to do certain RE transactions and the critics of the rich, must stay poor.
As for this particular sale, you apparently wanted them to sell the bldg for a loss (or a loss rel to what they could get) but there's no reason to think the buyer wouldn't turn around and sell the bldg to UPC for a quick profit. Again, you expect them to "save the world" apparently via this ONE transaction - they can't - like I said, that needs to be done via PUBLIC POLICY. And they've been the ones advocating for those good public policies for 50 years.
And their "big profit" was 28% over 10 years - which is a financial loss assuming an annual inflation rate of 3% which is probably about right considering what the price of oil and gas has done in that time period (and the world runs on oil and gas).
Instead of attacking BB & JD and the BG - which is all you commentators fucking do - you should thank them for being a media voice that advocated PUBLIC POLICIES that benefitted the vast majority of ppl for almost 50 years. THAT'S WHERE IT MATTERS.
benefit the vast majority.
Keep in mind the Guardian mindset loses elections consistently and fail when it comes to propositions on a regular basis.
It is interesting that you howl about how dumb everyone is, while claiming to speak for the people, and yet where it counts, you lose at the ballot box.
One long free association rant on your part mixed with your other Guardhouse lawyer-ring posts, comical.
Someone wrote: "And you just sold your building, for a cool 28% profit, after using government money to finance it, and you sold it to a fucking *real estate investment firm*, that specializes in gentrification throughout the City. Pigs. "
Tim (who wrote this article) just sold the BG building? I know the building was recently sold, but I didn't know Tim owned the BG building to sell it. It's not his building to sell. I thought Bruce and Jean (the owners) sold it. Tim, who wrote this article, had no ownership in the building (to my knowledge). I would guess that Tim and Steven had little say in the matter (not being owners), other than the sale of the building and the sale of the BG would be a way for you two (Tim and Steven) to keep your jobs and the BG going. Therefore, you have to go along with this deal despite all the negatives (like who the deal is with for the sale of the building) or you have to find yourselves another job. Which is it going to be? And THESE days finding another job? Check out all the *minimum wage* jobs on craigslist in SF. Who can afford to live here on a minimum wage job? Even if they moved out of the City (like the trolls like to encourage, the trolls whine: "if you can't afford to live here then move."). The trolls' lives are so simple and so black and white. Even with commuting into the City and living in the suburbs, the commute alone would eat up a big part of that minimum wage salary, if one can call it a "salary." It's more like a stipend. Back to the BG sale, I suspect they did what they had to do. It's like me being on AT&T for Internet service. I can't stand AT&T or Comcast, but since I want Internet access I have to be on one or the other, so I'm on AT&T. I have no other choices, and I haven't heard that the choices/offers were pouring in for Bruce and Jean either.
As for 8 Washington and CPMC, these days I won't be at all surprised if the Board approves both.
Tim didn't sell the building, nut sack. But he's one of the last directly employed by the man who did (Bruce fired everyone else... notice the staff is a little smaller/more cult like/less talented?). He is also one of the last *on the fucking planet* defending him. Read the press releases - not my job to do it for you. Start with the business times, move on from there. Tim gushes over Bruce, it's gross.
And your right on one thing - 8 Washington and CPMC - the board will approve them both.
Welcome to irrelevance Progressive SF.
So you do admit that you were wrong when you previously wrote, "you just sold your building" (referring to Tim as "you," since he wrote the article), when it wasn't Tim at all who sold the building. From all the many press releases I had read (using Google), I had read nothing about that. I began to wonder just where you were getting your (erroneous) information. I followed the stories very closely with press releases and articles as they were published. I try to be accurate; you don't, it seems. You operate more on emotion.
I'm pretty sure the "you" referred to the SFBG, not Tim directly. Notice how the post started with "you guys"? Jesus christ. I think the original poster is aware Tim himself wasn't the sole owner of the building, but is a key player in the organization that was.
Don't worry about semantics, worry about the SFBG's shitty, gross behavior.
And (maybe) you should tone it down with parenthesis on (practically) every sentence (that'd be nice).
Can't wait until the Examiner starts muzzling Tim, and the Guardian starts running articles denouncing rent control.
It will be fun to watch!
Notice how he now gets instantly sidetracked on any real estate topic because of the hypocritical sale of the SFBG asset? In his heart, he knows it's over.
Tim shouldn't be muzzled, nor should anyone in an open society! When a child keeps demanding that the grown ups give him his "fair share" of candy instead of spending their money on stupid, boring grown up stuff, the best thing to do is ignore them until they shut up. The city doesn't need a progressive martyr, when from the majority of the comments I see on Mr. Redmond's articles, it sounds like his attitude toward market rate housing is losing out in the free marketplace of ideas!
8 Washington is not a particularly important issue to most San Franciscans. Some condos will replace some private tennis courts. No impact really, on anyone who doesn't belong to the expensive tennis club or own an expensive condo at Golden Gateway.
The CPMC reconstruction is a much bigger deal. Really CPMC can't rebuild in the same locations without closing down needed hospital beds, so the new location makes sense. And St. Luke's is 2/3 empty on average, so it makes sense to build it smaller, but 70 beds is probably too small. How much the hospital should pay the city is a good question. I don't think a yes or no vote here is a litmus test on whether a supervisor is progressive.
I hope the sale of the SFBG results in better journalism-- there are lots of more important issues-- addressing homelessness, balancing the city's budget, finding ways to keep people of all incomes in the city, improving the schools.
Just for the record, for the uninformed commenter above (one of many): The building at 135 Mississippi can't become luxury condos. It's not zoned residential. Right now, the building houses a newspaper (the Bay Guardian) and a dot-com tenant (digg.com, which has about half of the usable space). I don't know what the new owners will do, but it seems likely it will have about the same use, since there's not much demand for industrial space right now and it's a pretty good office location.
I have never said you can't sell private property for a profit. I have advocated for higher transfer taxes on sales over $5 million -- which Bruce and Jean also suported, although it meant they had to fork over more money on this deal. I'm a big supporter of land-trust housing and I support the notion of anti-speculation taxes on quick flips that drive up housing costs. Not applicable here, we were in the building for almost 10 years.
8 Wash and 555, like so many other land-use battles, are not about the sale of a building but about the use of the land.
calm down kids. The Bay Guardian is just a piece of a chain empire, and the people working there are tenant farmers in print. They will last maybe a year, and as they continue to Not Make Any Money for the Corporate Bosses, it'll be shut down. So calm down. This is likely the last election year you will be hearing from them. So who cares what they believe? It's not like they do any original reporting beyond what they can squeeze out of some pitiful interns and bottom of the barrel freelancers.

Knighthood for Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean
Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean are argueably the best ice dancers in the world. They have been world champions for over 25 years. Around 24 million people watched as they won gold in 1984 at the winter olympics. They have entertained us with their amazing talent, and since bringing Dancing on ice to our tv screens in 2006 they have inspired 1000's more people to start ice skating. Their partnership and talent is unmatched and for this they truely deserve to be knighted.
Mary Haverly
Olympic gold medallists get knighthoods these days and Torville and Dean's is well overdue!
they are great people who deserve a knighthood :) after all this time, should have been done a long time ago
Andrew Garner
They're done a hell of lot more than most of the civil servants who walk away with a gong for just doing their job!

Great news for Zinio users!
Thu, Dec 19, 2013
New titles are being added early to the Zinio downloadable magazine collection. Additional titles were chosen for 2014, and many of them are already available. By the beginning of January there will be about 140 titles, up from 2013's 100 titles.
For those new to Zinio, you can fully access and download individual issues of magazines for free, through the Appleton Public Library. In some cases you will have access to back issues as well. Go to the Appleton Public Library website at www.apl.org and click on the Zinio logo, under the image of the library card. You will create a Zinio account, using your Infosoup library card number and PIN/password. Here's how.
Unfortunately we will also be losing access to a few digital magazines. The publishers of Consumer Reports will no longer make it available to libraries through Zinio as of January 1, and NFL Magazine has gone out of business. There may be a couple of others as well.
Zinio is easy to use, but if you aren't sure how to add the app and access the magazines, you can sign up for a 1:1 session with a librarian who will work with you to get started. Sign up here.
Check out new magazine issues and enjoy reading them with Zinio and Appleton Public Library

Interested in learning about your family?
Fri, Oct 18, 2013
Did you grow up with stories about a grandfather who worked on the railroad, or a family who sailed to America? Are you related to an important person? Do those unlabeled photos taken a hundred years ago make you wonder who they are and how they fit with your family?
Many people become interested in their family history as they grow older, or their interest is piqued when their children come home from school with a request for a family tree. Perhaps you stumbled across the TV show, "Who Do You Think You Are?"
Genealogy is one of the fastest growing hobbies in the U.S. It combines detective work, reading, travel (sometimes), photography, fashion, technology and the science of DNA.
Starting your family tree is easy, but when researching it can be hard to know where to begin. Here's help:
Genealogy 101: Where to Start
We will go over the basics of starting a search for your family history. Topics will include organizing your information, local sources, including those at Appleton Public Library, and what to look for on the Internet. The slides and handouts will also be posted to next week's Pulp-less Fiction blog, if you are unable to attend.
If you are already interested in family history, did you know that the Appleton Public Library has Ancestry Library Edition available for free inside the library? We also have HeritageQuest available to use online with your library card.
The second floor of the library has the Wisconsin Collection, which includes city directories, Appleton school yearbooks, plat maps, history books of the area and the state, and much more. On the main floor you can access microfilm of the Appleton Post-Crescent and earlier newspapers on microfilm, or other newspapers online from the library or from home.

Expand access to places to hunt and fish
Will "support the Open Fields Incentives legislation that provides incentives to farmers and ranchers who voluntarily open their land to hunting, fishing and other wildlife-related activities."

Administration advances land program created under Bush
Updated: Tuesday, December 15th, 2009 | By Louis Jacobson
During the presidential campaign, Barack Obama promised to "support the Open Fields Incentives legislation that provides incentives to farmers and ranchers who voluntarily open their land to hunting, fishing and other wildlife-related activities."
Open Fields is a provision inserted into the 2008 Farm Bill that passed Congress and was signed by President George W. Bush. It offers financial assistance to states that run voluntary programs to encourage private landowners to allow public access to their land. It also requires participating landowners to use best practices for fish and wildlife management.
The president's fiscal year 2010 budget would fully fund the program at $50 million over three years.
"Because ranchers and farmers already are making decisions about 2010 crops and grazing areas, state fish and wildlife agencies must enter into discussions with them at the earliest possible date to offer proposals for new public access on their lands," said Katherine McKalip, associate director of communications with the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership. "The Agriculture Department and Secretary Tom Vilsack must prioritize this rulemaking so that American sportsmen will be able to enjoy the intended access opportunities in 2010."
Still, we believe the administration has already done enough to rate this a Promise Kept.
