Learning PHP, MySQL, and JavaScript: A Step-By-Step Guide to Creating Dynamic Websites (Animal Guide) Reviews
Here is my background:
Java, Cold Fusion, ASP.net, C#, Rails; sys admin for Windows and Unix boxes.
Picked up several books to learn PHP – yuck!
Picked up this book. Wow. In 2 days I was on my way!
1. all the code examples actually work. Yes, it's true. I know it's shocking.
2. the explanations are excellent. Wow can this person communicate. Again shocking.
3. Tons of examples. Talking is great but I learn through code examples. There are plenty here. That is why in 2 days you will be like: Wow I can code in PHP.
4. Here is the best part – Nixon helps you setup everything so it works. I mean in less than 30min I was running PHP via Apache on my Windows using Mysql. I have days with other books trying to make things work because the author did not care enough to actually help me do setup.
Then pick up the PHP Web Dev Wellin/Thompson book and bang with Nixon's – you are a PHP intermediate level programmer.
Really – that easy.
I wasted so many hours with other books – crap. Live and learn.
Thank you Robin Nixon. This book is a godsend. With the hours I saved, I am partying – yee ha!

PHP Black Book: Comprehensive Problem Solver (Black Book (Paraglyph Press)) Reviews
I read one of the authors articles about PHP and decided
to use PHP instead of ASP. I also decided to buy any book he wrote as the articles are so good. A few chapters on
HTML from another book were enough to start building web pages then I started reading the PHP Black Book. Each chapter seems to be complete so I can pick my way through the chapters I need and skip the ones I do not need. You only need about 5 of the 20 chapters to build a web site with a database and forms.Windows is covered so I do not need to learn Unix.MySQL is a useful database that has a whole chapter. I did not know you could use open source software like MySQL on Windows until I read that chapter. The database does what I want so I will skip the chapter on other databases.Everybody says I need this and that for my web site. All the thises and thats are in the book. He explains SQL, XML, LDAP, IMAP, and and how to draw graphics straight from a web page script. I will use that to make my database results in to pictures.

The Zend PHP Certification Practice Test Book – Practice Questions for the Zend Certified Engineer Exam Reviews
I just passed my Zend Certified Engineer test. It wasn't easy. For preparation, I used both the Official Zend Study Guide (by Zend Technologies) and this book. I often found myself frustrated by the numerous errata in both books, but there were significantly more mistakes in this book (ranging from having the wrong answer listed in the answers section to typos). The positive aspect of this is that it forced me to spend more time with the online php manual answering my questions. I found the questions on the actual exam to be more like those in this book, than from the Official Study Guide, but you really need the Official Study Guide to make some sense of the answers in here as well. There were questions in this book covering exam topics that wheren't covered in the Official Study Guide. That's reason enough to get it.
The print quality on the pages is sub-standard, but the questions and thorough answers were very helpful.
Simply put, I wouldn't have had any chance of passing the exam if it weren't for this practice test book, even though it's aggravating at times.

PHP for the World Wide Web, Third Edition Reviews
Larry Ullman brings two major talents to the task of writing "PHP": a) a thorough knowledge of PHP, and b) the ability to write on technical subjects clearly and concisely.
Ullman himself considers this edition "a relatively light revision of the book, tweaking some things, solidifying the discussion of PHP 5 (which was just out when the second edition of the book was written), and addressing some of the changes forthcoming in PHP 6 (whenever that may be)". I have the earlier edition(s) in my library and there aren't any super-major changes visible.
I suspect that a non-programmer would have litle difficulty learning how to program in PHP using this book. But I think a working knowlede of HTML and perhaps even Javascript would be helpul.
Ullman begins at the beginning with the basic concepts of programming and PHP. His writing style is very comfortable, very clear and the beginner will not feel lost, though the experienced programmer may do nothing more than skim these first pages.
He moves forward into functions and control functions, working his way to interaction with databases, one of the most widespread uses for PHP.
All in all, this is great learning tool for those coming with experience in other programming languages and those who are neophytes. Ullman has done it again: excellent work.

I've been reading Larry's books since back in the early days when php/mysql books were barely found. I have to credit Larry's books with helping me just get started learning about php & mysql, and even helping me with most of what I learn today. I've purchased every new version of his books and pick up new things every time. It's so easy to step along with the examples, to help provide a solid understanding, and to give a fresh reassurance of what I may have already known… plus I always learn new tricks and techniques. I guess that's why I keep getting his books. This book especially helped me with a few tricks just at the right time, right when I needed help with them. I have over twenty-five php books and his are all in the top of my favorites and most referenced to.

I recently found a need to do a little PHP programming on a website. When I went looking for books what I found were any number of two to six hundred page texts. Then I found this little gem. It fitted my purposes perfectly as it explained the basics of PHP with examples for things I was trying to accomplish.
I will say that I that the treatment of classes was too brief and was the major reason that I didn't give five stars. The important things is that it provided a basis for me to experiment with the examples, accomplish what I needed to do, and allowed me to gain enough knowledge in a few short evenings that I'll be able to get another book on the subject without being totally lost from the first page. That is all I can ask from a cheap book.

After a long wait, 14 doggy years to be exact, several pups at the Humane Society of Atlantic County are ready to find a new home.
For the last two years, the Humane Society has been home for 11 dogs seized during the Scheld/Thomas pet hoarding case.
"There were 56 animals seized, 11 animals are still here at the shelter and now that they're released by the court, we can start processing them for adoption," said Executive Director of the Human Society of Atlantic County Steven Dash.
The dogs were seized from Dawn Scheld and Leroy Thomas after they were accused of neglecting and abusing the animals.
During the court case and lengthy appeals process, the dogs were housed at the Humane Society.
Now, with a final verdict, the dogs are finally available for adoption and a medical exam away from starting a happier chapter in their lives.
"They are in fabulous condition, in great health and great spirits," said veterinarian Dr. Greg Pieretti.
Interested parties can begin applying for adoption and take home dogs like Zelda, who got to meet her new mother for the first time today.
"I heard that she was here for 2 years, waiting to be released from the dog hoarding case so it's like a freedom day for her," said Zelda's new mom Dee McNeely-Greene.
For staff at the Humane Society, the adoptions are bittersweet.
After spending the last two years with the dogs, they are sad to see them go, but happy Zelda and her companions are finding loving homes.
"I feel that she's a lucky girl, she'll have everything now. She'll have a lot of attention, she'll be able to get her medical care. She has a fenced in yard and she has playmates and she'll never have to worry again, so I'm happy for her," said McNeely-Greene.
And after two long years of calling the humane society home, 11 dogs are ready for adoption and life with their new families.

Hanna was a poorly-organized tropical storm that nevertheless
produced rip currents responsible for three deaths off the beaches
of the Florida panhandle.
Hanna formed in the Gulf of Mexico from a complex interaction of
a tropical wave, an upper-level low, and a surface trough. In the
days preceding genesis, a broad surface trough in the wake of
Hurricane Gustav
stretched from the western Atlantic across South
Florida and into the central Gulf of Mexico. During this time a
westward-moving tropical wave approached the Yucatan peninsula, and
when the wave reached the Gulf of Mexico on 10 September a weak
1008-mb low formed on the western end of the surface trough.
Initially, there was minimal convection associated with the
combination of these two features; however, on 11 September an
upper-level short-wave trough over the southern United States cut
off over the central Gulf of Mexico, and convection began to
develop to the east of the both the upper level low and the
tropical wave/surface low. The convection became sufficiently
organized to warrant a Dvorak classification at 1800 UTC that day,
and over the next 6 hours convection developed closer to the
surface low. Shortly before 0000 UTC 12 September a reconnaissance
aircraft was able to locate a well-defined low-level circulation
center, and with that the ninth depression of the season had formed
about 250 n mi south of Pensacola Florida.
The "best track" chart
of the tropical cyclone's path is given in Figure 1, with the wind
and pressure histories shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3,
respectively. The
best track positions and intensities are listed in Table 1. The
cyclone initially had some non-tropical characteristics, including
a westward tilt with height in association with the upper-low.
Despite strong southwesterly shear and a disorganized convective
structure, the depression became a tropical storm at 0600 UTC 12
September, about 225 n mi south of Pensacola. For the first 24
hours after genesis, the low-level circulation center rotated
counter-clockwise around the middle and upper-level centers, first
moving northeastward but turning to the southwest by late on 12
September. Moving slowly the following day, Hanna turned to the
west and then to the north ahead of an approaching mid-level
trough. Hanna strengthened and reached its peak intensity of 50 kt
and 1001 mb at 0000 UTC 14 September about 60 n mi south of the
mouth of the Mississippi River. In response to the approaching
trough, Hanna accelerated northward early on 14 September and its
exposed low-level circulation center began to become deformed and
elongated. With nearly all the significant weather well to its
east, Hanna's center of circulation passed over the extreme
southeastern tip of Louisiana near 0800 UTC. Hanna then turned to
the north-northeast and made its second landfall near the
Alabama-Mississippi border near 1500 UTC. Maximum winds at both
landfalls were near 50 kt. Hanna moved northeastward across
southern Alabama and weakened rapidly, dissipating by 1800 UTC 15
September. The remnants of the tropical cyclone then produced heavy
rains as they moved rapidly across Georgia and the
Observations in Hanna (Figure 2 and Figure 3)
include satellite-based Dvorak technique intensity estimates from the
Tropical Analysis and Forecast Branch (TAFB), the Satellite
Analysis Branch (SAB) and the U. S. Air Force Weather Agency
(AFWA), as well as flight-level and dropwindsonde observations from
flights of the 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron of
the U. S. Air Force Reserve Command. Selected surface observations
from land stations and data buoys are given in Table 2.
At 0600 UTC 12 September, buoy 42003 (at 25.9 N, 86.0
W, about 50 n mi south-southeast of the center) reported an 8-min
mean wind of 32 kt. This observation is the basis for the
assignment of tropical storm status at this time. Hanna's peak
winds are estimated to be 50 kt, based on surface-adjusted
flight-level winds of 46 kt at 2346 UTC 13 September and 47 kt at
1303 UTC 14 September, as well as a 47 kt 2-min wind from the
Pensacola ASOS station at 1352 UTC 14 September.
The only ship to report tropical storm force winds
was KRPP (Nobel Star), which reported winds of 37
kt and a pressure of 1006.0 mb at 0300 UTC 13 September, when it
was about 45 n mi west-southwest of the center. Other observations
of note include the aforementioned 47 kt report from Pensacola, the
strongest sustained wind observation from a surface station. The
highest gust reported was 59 kt at Pensacola Beach. An F0 tornado
that blew down some trees was reported in south Mobile County
Alabama. Gulfport Harbor reported a storm tide of 5.1 ft, and there
were other reports in the 3-5 ft range (Table 2). Minor river
flooding occurred along Spring Creek near Iron City, Georgia, where
the river crested at 15.3 ft, 1.3 feet above flood stage.
Hanna and its remnants produced heavy rains across
much of the southeastern states. These rains were largely confined
to the eastern semicircle of the storm, with numerous reports of
storm-total accumulations of between 5 and 10 inches. The highest
reported storm total, 15.56 in, was from Donalsonville,
Three deaths are attributed to rip currents generated
by Hanna. An adult male (age 20) drowned in rough surf near
Pensacola Beach on the afternoon of the 14th. Two other
adult males (ages unknown) drowned, one at Seagrove Beach (Walton
County) on the 14th, and another at Panama City Beach on
the 15th.
Storm effects were relatively minor, and insured
losses did not meet the $25M threshold to be recorded by the
American Insurance Services Group. Minor beach erosion was reported
from Dauphin Island, Alabama, to Navarre Beach, Florida, as well as
in the Florida counties of Walton, Bay, and Gulf. Some storm tide
flooding was reported on Dauphin Island and in Mobile County.
Roughly 250 homes and 50 businesses were damaged from freshwater
flooding in Donalsonville, Georgia. Data from the Georgia Farm
Services Agency indicates agricultural damage, primarily to the
cotton and peanut crops, amounted to nearly $19 million. There were
several other apparently minor flooding events. Well after Hanna
had made landfall and weakened to a tropical depression, there was
a report of a roof being blown off a house in Donalsonville. Total
damage is estimated at $20 million.
Average official track errors (with the number of
cases in parentheses) for Hanna were 62 (8), 120 (6), 175 (4), and
225 (2), n mi for the 12, 24, 36, and 48 h forecasts, respectively.
These errors are roughly 50% larger than the average official track
errors for the 10-yr period 1992-2001 (43, 81, 115, and 148 n mi,
respectively [Table 3]). Official track forecasts issued from 0000
UTC 12 September through 0600 UTC 14 September are shown in
Figure 4.
The official forecasts consistently took Hanna northward to the
coast too quickly, as they failed to anticipate the westward track
of the storm prior to the 14th. Interestingly, much of
the model guidance did capture some of the early counter-clockwise
rotation of Hanna around the mid-level low; however, the official
forecasts remained, conservatively, on the right-side of the
guidance envelope showing a quicker motion toward the coast. Many
of the guidance models had mean errors lower than those of the
official forecast.
Official intensity forecasts correctly anticipated
that Hanna would not strengthen much. Average official intensity
errors were 2, 3, 4, and 13 kt for the 12, 24, 36, and 48 h
forecasts, respectively. For comparison, the average official
intensity errors over the 10-yr period 1992-2001 are 7, 11, 14, and
16 kt, respectively.
Table 4 lists the watches and warnings associated
with Hanna. A tropical storm watch was issued at 1500 UTC 12
September, 41 hours prior to the first landfall of Hanna in extreme
southeastern Louisiana. A tropical storm warning was issued at 0900
UTC 13 September, 23 hours prior to landfall. Tropical storm
conditions were confined to the area under warning.
The National Weather Service (NWS) Forecast Offices
in Mobile, New Orleans, and Tallahassee contributed surface
observations for this report. The best track of Hanna after
landfall is based in part on analyses from the NWS
Hydrometeorological Prediction Center.

The pattern of hot weather remained over central Louisiana for yet another day on Thursday.
As has been the case this week, morning lows remained near of slightly below the normal of 71 degrees. Natchez, Miss. reported a low of 63 degrees and was followed closely by Winnfield at 64 degrees. Oberlin, Fort Polk, and Hagewood stayed at 72 degrees. The record low for the date is a cool 55 degrees set in 1896.
During the afternoon, thermometers responded to ample sunshine and once again hit the 90s. Bellwood reported 99 degrees while Winnfield and Many registered 98 degrees. Opelousas only reported a high of 90 degrees. The record high is 103 set during the long, hot summer of 1954.
I expect the weather pattern to remain unchanged Friday: hot with no rain.

Fly First Class With Coach
James is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Coach (NYSE: COH) is a luxury accessories dealer for both men and women. Headquartered in New York, Coach has been making quality leather goods for over 70 years. They now also offer sun wear, watches, fragrances, foot wear, and jewelry.
With over 800 stores worldwide (most in the USA, Canada, and Japan) and growing especially fast in China where the middle class is expected to double from 300 to 600 million in the near future, Coach is poised to become a global leader in luxury goods.
Coach is currently trading at $56.64, which is about 28% below its 52-week high of $79.70.
Figure 1:
So is Coach a buy at these current levels? Let's take a closer look and see if we should add this to our long term portfolio.
First, what brought about this downturn in the stock? We can attribute it to a mid year miss followed by lackluster growth predictions. Sure there were a couple other things such as the discontinuation of coupons and concerns about overseas profits, but I'm going to make this short.
What has changed since then? In October Coach said that for fiscal year 2012 it would expect to achieve double digit sales with earnings per share growth ahead of the top line. It also reaffirmed revenue guidance for fiscal year 2013.
Therefore, the major catalyst for its downturn seems to have been confronted and resolved. Share buy backs are almost always a positive thing and Coach has announced that as well.
What exactly are we getting for our $56.64? We are buying a company with a rock solid balance sheet. With practically zero debt and roughly $750 million in cash this company is better than rock solid, it's granite tough.
We are buying a top performer. According to RetailSails 2012 Chain Store Productivity Guide Coach ranks 4th out of retailers in terms of sales per square foot at $1,871 sq/ft. Trailing Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) at $6,050 sq/ft, Tiffany & Co. (NYSE: TIF) at $3,017 sq/ft, and lululemon athletica (NASDAQ: LULU) at $1,936 sq/ft.
The great balance sheet and strong performance are no flukes on management's part as evidenced by a RoE of 52.40% and a RoA of 33.20%, well above the industry average (see Figure 2). The recent downturn in stock price has provided very compelling valuations. A P/E of 15.80 means that this company is currently undervalued compared to the industry average of 21.50. A dividend yield of 2.13% is actually double that of the industry average of 1%.
Coach's 5 year growth rates are also double that of the industry at 10.62% vs 5.11% Its profit margins are tops with its 5 year at 21.40% vs an industry average of 9.10%. Finally, the forward P/E of 12.73 and an expected 5 year PEG of 1.07 means analysts are pointing toward a positive future. With a CEO that has been part of the company for 30 years I think we can expect this kind of quality management to continue.
Figure 2:
Not only does Coach present a compelling value, with good growth projections, but it seems to be setting up for a technical bounce going into the holidays and beyond. Based on recent price action I would peg $56/$57 as a reasonable entry point. My 12 month price target is $88 taking into account growth rates and fair valuation. I am personally looking very closely at Coach for a long term hold if fundamentals stay intact.

Business Analyst Interview (Negative Experience; Average Interview)
I applied through college or university - interviewed at Client Network Services in February 2014.
Interview Details I was invited for an interview after talking to a recruiter at my school's career fair. Prior to the interview, there was a short exam, and I realized I had been given the wrong exam (meant for programmers). I asked for and took the other exam, but when it came time for the interview, I was again mistaken for someone interviewing for the programming role.
After switching interviewers, I got the sense that they weren't really prepared or very interested in interviewing me, as I wasn't asked much. Needless to say, I didn't leave with high hopes.
Interview Question – Nothing too specific or unexpected Answer Question

Our direct mail services pricing is simple and to the point. We charge you
7 cents per piece
to inkjet the addresses onto your postcards. This price covers the contact name, address and the presort barcode and you save approximately 7 cents per card on postage because of our presorting process. That means virtually no extra cost for you to let us do it for you, and sometimes it even costs you less.

We lease a special software package from the U.S. Post Office that reads the addresses and assigns each a barcode. This software also removes all the addresses it recognizes as undeliverable so that you don't pay postage for cards that will inevitably be returned because of a bad address. The Post Office gives us a discount because we have invested in automation.
There are many rules and regulations in direct mail and the post office changes them constantly. So, although the concept is simple, the process is definitely not.
Additional info can also be printed on the card at the time of addressing for a slight additional charge. Ask your sales rep for details.

Campos for Assembly, Yes on Props. B and 42, re-elect Gov. Jerry Brown — our recommendations for the June 2014 primary election
Since then, he's been a reliable vote for legislation supported by most San Franciscans, and he's sponsoring some good bills that break new ground, including his current AB 1193, which would make it easier to build cycletracks, or bike lanes physically separated from cars, all over the state. He also called a much-needed Assembly committee hearing in November calling out BART for its lax safety culture, and we hope he continues to push for reforms at that agency.
Over a decade ago, Californians voted to use hundreds of millions of our dollars to create the CalVet Home and Farm Loan Program to help veterans purchase housing. But a reduction in federal home loan dollars, the housing crisis, and a plummeting economy hurt the program.
Prop. 41 would repurpose $600 million of those bond funds and raise new money to create affordable housing rental units for some of California's 15,000 homeless veterans. This would cost Californians $50 million a year, which, as proponents remind us, is one-tenth of 1 percent of the state budget. Why let hundreds of millions of dollars languish unused? We need to reprioritize this money to make good on our unfulfilled promises to homeless veterans.
This one's important. Last year, Gov. Jerry Brown sought to gut the California Public Records Act by making it optional for government agencies to comply with many of the requirements built into this important transparency law. The CPRA and the Ralph M. Brown Act require government agencies to make records of their activities available for public scrutiny, and to provide for adequate notice of public meetings. Had the bill weakening these laws not been defeated, it would have removed an important defense against shadowy government dealings, leaving ordinary citizens and journalists in the dark.
Prop. 42 is a bid to eliminate any future threats against California's important government transparency laws, by expressly requiring local government agencies — including cities, counties, and school districts — to comply with all aspects of the CPRA and the Brown Act. It also seeks to prevent local agencies from denying public records requests based on cost, by eliminating the state's responsibility to reimburse local agencies for cost compliance (the state has repeatedly failed to do so, and local bureaucracies have used this as an excuse not to comply).
Prop. A is a $400 million general obligation bond measure that would cover seismic retrofits and improvements to the city's emergency infrastructure, including upgrades to the city's Emergency Firefighting Water System, neighborhood police and fire stations, a new facility for the Medical Examiner, and seismically secure new structures to house the police crime lab and motorcycle unit.
The Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to place Prop. A on the ballot, and a two-thirds majority vote is needed for it to pass. Given that San Franciscans can expect to be hit by a major earthquake in the years to come, upgrading emergency infrastructure, especially the high-pressure water system that will aid the Fire Department in the event of a major blaze, is a high priority.
As we report in this issue (see "Two views of the waterfront"), San Francisco's waterfront is a valuable place targeted by some ambitious development schemes. That's a good thing, particularly given the need that the Port of San Francisco has for money to renovate or remove crumbling piers, but it needs to be carefully regulated to maximize public benefits and minimize private profit-taking.
How many of your endorsed candidates have won their races over the decades?
yes Leland Yee is running for Secretary of State UNOPPOSED! so what does that mean, that he wins? I thought he withdrew from the race, so does that mean we won't have a Secretary of State for the next four years?
Write in Shrimp Boy for attorney general!!
Derek Kressman
What do you mean Lee's running unopposed??
popular, successful, winning candidate.
On Earth Day, I stood on stage, next to Bill McKibben, when he ask, "Why doesn't Mayor Ed Lee endorse CleanPower SF?"
That got me to thinking about this whole global climate collapse issue.
What is the biggest problem the world faces today?
Is it global climate collapse?
If that is true, why don't more people agree to work together on solving the problem?
Why do Psychologists ignore world climate collapse, and still just focus on sex? Maybe they have been convinced by the corporate media that there is nothing better they can do?
Why does Bill McKibben not focus on the need for a solar feed in tariff ( FiT) that requires PG&E to pay home owners $0.49 kwh, for feeding solar onto the grid? This most successful energy policy in the world, that has allowed Germany to shut down their nukes? Using the FiT, Germany is banning fracking & shutting down all their nukes.
Why does Bill McKibbren blame SF Mayor Ed Lee for the problem of world climate collapse ( WCC ), when Bill is not petitioning for a FiT? What if Ed Lee is on the right side, and McKibben is on the wrong side of the issue? What if CPSF is just a plain bad idea, that would cost SF tax payers $1 billion? And would not solve the problem?
Bankers are smart people about money & policy. Why are most financial people ignoring the great leaps forward with a FiT that are happening in Japan & Germany?
Why is Germany now the greenest nation on earth.
You say that as if it's a bad thing. Would you really want to be on record as supporting the likes of Willie Brown, Newsom, or Lee for mayor, for example?
Is that the point here? To endorse the candidate most likely to win? They're not bookies.
but the SFBG not very long ago endorsed the last place candidate for mayor, Angela Alioto
they usually get about 57 votes, one of whom is their mom.
For example Brown and Newsom will win this time. Their record with candidates that they really like is not so good (otherwise London Breed, Jane Kim, Malia Cohen and Mark Farrell would not be on the BOS). It's hard to point to a BOS race where the SFBG endorsement had a clear positive effect. Maybe Norman Yee, possibly.
With Tim Redmond it is possible that some people who valued thoughtful progressive reasoning might follow along. With Steven T Jones I think that the best that the endorsed candidates can hope for is for their SFBG endorsement to have no or little effect.
And I think that they will get what they wish for.
and endorse a moderate. They get it wrong when they go with their idealism.
Says it all really.
But wait. I thought the BG's politics are more in line with the majority of San Franciscans than is the Chronicle. It's not like there is any proof, in fact their choices for mayor are clearly proof to the contrary, but Steven and Greg said it was true. So it has to be true because they said it is, right?
Or hopefully a negative one since I vote against any endorsement from the S.F.B.G. and many of my moderate friends do the same. a vote against your endorsements is usually a wise one.
Does the SFBG have the Courage to share Congressional Candidate responses?
SFBG sent a set of good set of questions to the Candidates.
The Answers candidates provides should be valuable and enlightening to Voters.
Sharing the responses would empower the Voters to analyze the candidates themselves.
The SFBG conclusions did not include any information related to the questions.
The best thing about the questions is that they gave Candidates an Opportunity to share and discuss the Legislative Actions they would champion in Washington D.C.
And that's important. Some better ideas may come from one of the mentioned or unmentioned candidates.
David Peterson
i think he is running for everything and anything.
my favorite endorsement was when both Tom Ammiano and Matt Gonzalez were running for Mayor against Gavin Useless and the Guardian endorsed Angela Alioto, who came in last and promptly joined the Useless administration as the commissioner of stumble bums or whatever job she managed to scrape up.
And thanks for the memory.
Magic SFBG moments . .
remembering her complaining that her children were forbidden from having their cell phones in school as per district policy... wanted to like her... but just had to stop trying.
trajectory, where "progressive" means liberal loyalty to the pro-capitalist, 1% dominated Democratic Party.
Vote Peace & Freedom or Green or leave it blank.
wasting it on a fringe party with no hope of influence and power.
has any effect? Good luck with that.
Money talks, voting is for show. I just do it because I can't transcend all the socialization I received as a child.
So I vote for what I want.
The rest of us do, and I'm happy with the result more than I am not,
I am rewlly happpy to glance at this web site posts which
includes tons of helpful facts, thanks for providing such information.
Most people just want to be "on the side that is winning.
Why vote for what you really don't want?
It is better to vote for what you really want, &
not get it,
than it is to vote for what you don't want
& get it.
I want a free education system, paid for by taxing
the largest corporations.
If anyone is campaigning for that,
I will tend to vote for them.
Cindy speaks up for free education every time she speaks.
Voting changes nothing. If it did, it would be illegal.
If the People ever elect a progressive,
the CIA will just kill them.
That is why the Bush CIA killed JFK, King & RFK.
I really think you should start hanging out with that Jason Grant Garza guy. You two whackos deserve each other.
At least Paul's honest about his desire to vote for the person who will give him the most free shit. Usually, Progressives will cite a bunch of rationalizations on why their selfishness isn't really selfish. Paul has the balls to be totally upfront with his entitlement.
He's upfront with his conspiracy theories too. And he's Cindy Sheehan's number one fan. It's funny how they can't figure why they aren't more popular when this guy is the poster child for their candidate.
Free shit is shit you get without paying because you have mugged someone else for the money to pay for it
Huh. I geass progressives and conseravatives are more alike than one would think.
I heard that somewhere so it must be true.
There are no wasted votes, especially since only 1 in 3 people do vote. It is those who don't vote who deserve our condemnation.
I can't wait until Campos is crushed in this election.
Campos will win because he is out meeting people in his District every single day. He signed our petition for a solar feed in tariff (FiT) to require PG&E to pay home owners $0.49 kwh for feeding solar onto the grid.
Campos is cool.
Note to self: obese, effeminate communists are now cool. Better order Das Kapital for Dummies from Amazon and start eating more pastries.
Nothing like a little old-fashioned homophobia. Why don't you say what you really mean by "effeminate": you hate The Gay. And you might want to make another note to yourself: I don't know if you've run into Campos lately, but he's anything but obese. He's actually rather trim, unlike that Pillsbury Dough Boy Farrell, or our mayor, who seems to have put on a good 40 pounds during his time in Room 200.
Oh, and for what it's worth, Campos is no communist, but I'm sure everyone to the left of Sean Hannity is a communist to you.
Anyone to the right of Campos is....Hannity to you.
Campos will win because Dianne Feinstein endorsed Chiu. :-)
So I figure moderates win either way.
"He signed our petition for a solar feed in tariff (FiT) to require PG&E to pay home owners $0.49 [per] kwh for feeding solar onto the grid." That's at least four times what it is worth. I know you don't like PG&E, but I don't think that justifies robbing them. Are you volunteering yourself to pay a dollar per kWh, when transmission, distribution, and 24x7 availability are factored in?
This is so unrealistic, it would be reason enough to vote against Campos.
your paper is giving the CA-12 endorsement to someone you don't necessarily agree with, and criticize her actions, namely: "economic policies that have consolidated wealth in ever fewer hands and dismantled the social safety net, environmental policies that have ignored global warming... and military policies that expanded the war machine and overreaching surveillance state.", and then proceed to give honorable mentions to three others - two of whom have failed FEC filing requirements - without any mention of any others? Desmond Thorsson, for example? Guy seems pretty in line against all the things you decry about Pelosi.
SFBG is perfectly at liberty to grant endorsements as it sees fit, but I was expecting a bit better of a deliberative process, and putting good faith behind candidates that actually reflect the values of the paper.
Your endorsement of Torlkakson for State Superintendent of Schools, while predictable, is horrible. Torlakson is just a puppet for the California Teachers Association, an organization that puts adult privileges over kids' education. He is a joke in that position.
Tuck is a reformer and god knows the California education system needs reform. Characterizing him as an investment banker is totally stupid and repeats the union talking points. He worked for a bank for like one year. He has been in the education space for most of his career.
Do you guys just get emailed the union talking points and repeat them?
"Do you guys just get emailed the union talking points and repeat them?" Who revealed to you the BG's endorsement process???
Interesting accusation from an apparent bot whose anti-union talking points are just random irrelevant sentence-generator output.
Can't think of anything worse than having a union hack like Torlakson in charge of our schools when they so desperately need reform.
How about we deal with education inequality - the actual cause of income inequality instead of whining about it....??
Just an FYI, the SF State Assembly Districts are 17 and 19.
How does someone who cut a deal with Larry Ellison to give him prime waterfront property for 66 years with no compensation to the city, then let the America's Cup run into the red, let himself be named "World Ambassador" to bring people and money to the event and then did neither (records show zero fundraising from Newsom to cover the city's deficit), delayed being sworn into office so that his handpicked choice Ed Lee would be the mayor to continue the cronyism of the past ten years, even calling Dufty out of the Board vote to turn him around, end up getting anything but the back of the Guardian's hand.
As Lt. Gov he has done far less than his predecessors, other than positioning himself in polls. Leo McCarthy revamped the state's oversight of nursing homes. Others took up issues of equity and equality.
Newsom didn't even have the class to resign from the DCCC after moving out of SF until he was forced to resign as a non-resident as Peskin pushed the issue.
Sorry, but the job of the media is to hold people accountable, not laud them for doing what anyone with political ambitions would do -- play to the crowd.
Don't you get it? We are not his crowd.
A no endorsement would have been in keeping with your values. This does not.
Is it merely incompetence, the Stockholm Syndrome of identifying with one's oppressor so much one wishes to befriend him, or is it maliciousness, progressives are infected with political spies, that causes these liberals to give free stuff to the conservatives who are gunning for their political extinction?
Photos of David Chiu, endorsements of Newsom and Harris, raging against political opponents for bumping your people from commissions, I mean, what planet are you all living on where you all expect to prevail by carrying water for your opponents more so than your allies?
Purity leads to ostracism and irrelevance, as you have discovered.
Capitulation is what got progressives down to two and a half votes on the Board of Supervisors. Had progressive electeds compromised, which means splitting the difference instead of capitulated, then they might not have shed so much of their coalition so as to be politically ostracized as in being bitch slapped at the Police Commission yesterday.
It was the capitulationists who were bitch slapped and ostracized from the Police Commission, not me.

Atlanta police located a child and his caretaker who had been missing for more than a week.Authorities say that Laquanda Burley left her 23-month-old son, Malachi, with a woman she knew only as "Sylvia" at the Edgewood/Candler Park MARTA station on Nov. 26. According to the police report, Burley told investigators that she was overwhelmed and thought the time apart would be beneficial. The family started worrying when they couldn't get in touch with Sylvia. Malachi, family members say, has seizures and needs medication.Police eventually identified the woman as 26-year-old Sylvia Franklin and asked for the public's help in locating the pair.Finally, authorities reported that the boy was located around 6:30 p.m. on Thursday. Authorities did not provide any details as to where the toddler was located.
The boy's mother was questioned by police and released. She then went to check on her son at the hospital, where he was being checked as a precaution. "I'm going to hug him tight until I can't hug him no more and kiss him," Burley told FOX 5's Kaitlyn Pratt.The incident remains under investigation. It is not known if any charges will be filed.

He also wished the retired policeman "a speedy recovery".

Theft from Vehicle - On Nov. 26 at approximately 7:32 a.m., an officer was dispatched to the 400 block of Ellerslie Ave for a report of a theft from a vehicle. Upon arrival, the officer spoke with the victim who said that between Nov. 25 at 2:20 a.m. and Nov. 26 at 7 a.m., a person entered her vehicle and stole a camera. The vehicle was unlocked. The camera is a silver Kodak Easy Share. The victim did not hear anything suspicious and there are no other victims.
Hit and Run - On Nov. 20 at 11:44 a.m., an officer responded to 1650 Limekiln Pike (parking lot of the Dresher McDonald's) on the report of a hit and run. Upon the officer's arrival, he spoke to the reporting party and the victim. The victim said a silver Toyota Camary operated by a white elderly male with an elderly white female passenger, backed into his company vehicle. The victim said his vehicle was parked with him in it when theToyota backed into his car. The victim said the vehicle then drove into the Dresher Plaza where he lost sight of it. The area was checked for the striking vehicle with negative results.

Operator 2 said his crew was outside of unit 2 as he pulled the vehicle forward slowly to facilitate leaf removal.

We hate to do this to you guys but: Today is Valentine's Day. Yes, we know you totally forgot all about it. Between the long weekend of catching up with your boys and zoning out in front of whatever sport is in season right now, you never managed to get your ass to the floral shop to order your lady a bouquet of overpriced roses. You also probably forgot to stop by Victoria's Secret and pick up some scandalous negligee and there's no way that Godiva isn't sold out of all the good stuff at this point.
Basically, you're screwed. Or rather, you were screwed until you started reading this. Fellas, here's a list of last minute Valentine gifts that will ensure you'll get laid tonight. Or at the very least, will keep you from having to sleep on the couch all week.
Oprah's Moscow Mules
There's no way that the female in your life hasn't been dying to suck down one of these since she saw Oprah and Gayle doing so during their televised camping trip. While traditionally more of a summer drink, you should have no problem tracking down the liquor cabinet staples it takes to mix a Moscow Mule.
It's a simple drink that looks like it takes a lot of effort, and the mere fact that you know this beverage exists and is popular with the ladies might be enough to save your neck. Stop off at the grocery store on the way home from work, pick up the ingredients and have your dranks chilled and waiting for your woman once she walks in the door. Three of these bad boys, and she won't even remember what day it is in the first place.
The Moscow Mule recipe from Oprah.com:
- 1 ounce vodka
- 1 tsp. sugar syrup
- Fresh lime juice
- 1/2 cup ginger beer
- 1 sprig fresh mint
- 1 slice of lime
Directions: In a copper mug, pour vodka over ice. Add sugar syrup and lime juice. Top with ginger beer and stir. Garnish with mint sprig and lime slice.
You DO have a copper mug, right?
A Mix CD
Since middle school, nothing's said, "I LIKE like you" the way a personalized mix tape does. Plus, you may have all the materials you need to make this right in your office. Fill up a blank disc with the usual mix of Billy Joel's "Your Song," The Beach Boys' "God Only Knows" and just about any Barry White track and you'll survive this holiday just fine. Extra points if you include a song you listened to on your first date and if you ask her to dance while the smooth jams are playing.
Tattoo Her Name On Your Body
Compulsive types, this one's for you. During your lunch break, run down to the nearest tattoo shop and have your significant other's name tatted on your bicep. Sure, it's going to hurt and it's permanent as hell, but enduring the silent treatment and having to go live with your bachelor friend Mark for two weeks while she "figures some stuff out" is a hell of a lot more painful.
A Ski Mask
Got a fetishy-ass female on your hands? Good for you. But the line at the sex shop on Valentine's Day is probably something you don't have time (or the stomach) for, so it's time to think outside of the box. With it still being cold enough to find cheap outerwear in the strangest of places, we suggest you dip into the nearest bodega or gas station and pick up a traditional black ski mask. Hell, you might want to do this even if your significant other isn't a kinkster. There's a good chance that the best gift you can give her is one whole night without having to stare at your big dumb face.
A Coupon Book
The old classic! A handmade book filled with coupons she can redeem for anything from a neck massage to a day where you clean the house in the buff. Push your limits, guys. Offer her a homemade dinner, a night where you DD her and her drunk girlfriends around town, a day filled with unlimited oral sex and maybe even an offer to babysit her sister's annoying kid for a day so they can spend some alone time together. Whatever you do, make sure to follow through on everything you offer or you're giving your woman the chance to call you cheap and a liar.
Personalized Barbara Streisand Song
If you blew all your cash on a recent three-day bender in Vegas with your homedawgs, don't sweat it. GoBarbara.com allows you to customize a "Barbara Streisand" song for free. The songs sound a hell of a lot more silly than they do romantic, but what woman wouldn't love a Babs track with her name sprinkled in it?
If you have a pop culture obsessed diehard romantic on your hands, perhaps you can wrap a Band-Aid around her left ring finger like Tom Green did before he ordered Drew Barrymore her engagement ring. Of course you'll be stuck following up with something more permanent in the near future and you'll both have to ignore the fact that Tom and Drew only lasted for a minute, but hey! Maybe you should have thought of that two weeks ago.
Get Her Nails Did
You'd be hard pressed to find a woman who doesn't want a spa day, and there are enough beauty shops out there to pick up a gift certificate without having your schedule raped by a huge line. For $15-$50 (depending on where you live and the quality of shop you go to) you can get a gift certificate for a manicure and pedicure (and yes, you must spend enough for her to get both.) This serves as a gift to you, too. When she's out redeeming her gift, you'll have at least an hour to yourself to lounge around in your boxers and eat sandwiches that would make Cliff Huxtable jealous.
A Candy Buffet
Go to the drugstore and skip the aisle with sweets arranged in cardboard hearts. Those are subpar chocolates (half of which are filled with pure grossness) marked up to take advantage of desperate men like you. Instead, stick to the candies next to the register. Chances are there's a two-for-one deal going on and you can get four times the amount of treats you would have if you'd bought one of the seasonal options. Lay out all the candies on the dining room table with a glass of wine and tell her to have at it. She may tell you she hates you for giving her free range to binge, but you won't be able to hear her over all the Rolos she's choking down.
Break Up With Her
Your lady may temporarily hate you for ending your relationship on V-Day, but don't you think she's better off without the kind of dude who can't remember the one day a year society expects him to sack up and show a romantic gesture toward the one he loves? Trust us when we say that within a few years, she'll look back on it as one of the best presents she's ever gotten. No offense.
Sure, this one might not get you laid by your current girlfriend, but you will be free to head out and pursue all kind of fresh Valentine's strange at your local dive bar. Happy Valentine's Day to you!
