How to Be Just Like Your Best Friend (Teen Girls)
Do you admire your best friend for her good qualities and want to be just like her? Here is a step-by-step guide on how to do just that.
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1Set aside a notebook labeled with the name of the friend you wish to be like. Write down all the things you like about her. Write down both physical and character traits that you love about your friend.
2If you like, as an example, her clothes, ask her where she purchases them. If you like that she's outgoing,etc, then tell her so, and then ask her for advice on how to be that way.
3It's okay to want to be like someone, but you should be unique in your own way, with your own admirable qualities.
4Without being obvious, try to ask other people what they like about your friend. This will help you be just like her.
5Beware that some people might take this offensively.They might get creeped out or uncomfortable.
Community Q&A
Ask a Question
- Don't be ashamed to tell her you want to be like her. Make it sound like a compliment. This will also prevent problems later on, like your friend may think you are trying to copy her.
- Do NOT get caught. Your friend will know and may treat you differently, tell her yourself instead.

Is it possible to get the full 1000 in this game?
How long approx? Difficulty?
Im a completionist but don't want to spend 50+ hours on a game.
Offline achievements are pretty quick, online are quite difficult now as there aren't too many people online...
Its easy to do, but know that single player master achievement is glitched. I finished the entire game, but for some reason I didn't get single player master even though I have 59/60 achievements in the game.

I have created a cron job at my webserver. That cron runs a php file every few hours. It's cache creating technique. But there's a problem - my cron command looks like this:
php -q /folder/phpfile.php . When i run "phpfile.php" directly from my browser, everything is ok, but when CRON runs that file, it ALWAYS outputs "headers already sent" error to "error_log"! Mentioned php file DO begins with
if(!isset($_SESSION)) session_start(); but "error_log" show that exactly "session_start()" line is throwing the warning!
What's wrong? Why is everything ok when i run that file with browser, but when cron does it, "headers already sent" is generated?

Re: Taliban grow in Brooklyn
wow, truly evil.
A blog (from "web blog") is a discussion or informational site consisting of discrete entries ("posts") typically displayed newest first. All Corrente posts are front-paged; there is no up-rate or down-rate process. Corrente posts are almost entirely community moderated. We encourage a clash of ideas, and do not encourage a clash of persons.
If you are the author of this post, see the Edit tab ad Help (and Advanced Help) for detailed documentation.
OK, OK, the Orthodox, but you know what I mean:
The Brooklyn shopkeeper was already home for the night when her phone rang: a man who said he was from a neighborhood "modesty committee" was concerned that the mannequins in her store's window, used to display women's clothing, might inadvertently arouse passing men and boys.
The groups have long been a part of daily life in the ultra-Orthodox communities that dot Brooklyn and other corners of the Jewish world. But they sprang into public view with the trial of Nechemya Weberman, a prominent member of the Satmar Hasidim in Brooklyn, who last week was sentenced to 103 years in prison after being convicted of sexually abusing a young girl sent to him for counseling.
Mr. Weberman, an unlicensed therapist, testified during his trial that boys and girls — though not his accuser — were regularly referred to him by a Hasidic modesty committee concerned about what it viewed as inappropriate attire and behavior.
The details were startling: a witness for Mr. Weberman's defense, Baila Gluck, testified that masked men representing a modesty committee in the Hasidic village of Kiryas Joel, N.Y., 50 miles northwest of New York City, broke into her bedroom about seven years ago and confiscated her cellphone.
The Brooklyn district attorney, Charles J. Hynes, who prosecuted the Weberman case, has now received allegations that members of a modesty committee forced their way into a home in the borough, confiscating an iPad and computer equipment deemed inappropriate for Orthodox children, officials say. Allegations have also surfaced that a modesty committee threatened to publicly shame a married man who was having an affair unless he paid the members money for what they described as therapy.
"They operate like the Mafia," said Rabbi Allan Nadler, director of the Jewish studies program at Drew University in Madison, N.J.
Assholes. And I love it that the head of the whole "modesty" operation is a child molester. That just rings so true.
wow, truly evil.
Funny, how the solution is never blinders for the people who supposedly have the problem.
It is odd that NYT (of all rags) would cover this story given its generally coddling coverage (or noncoverage) of any group that might scream "anti-semitism."
... that grow out of this backward community -- Modesty Vigilante/Child Molester -- have been getting a lot of press recently because of the child-molesting convictions of the "counselor" (unlicensed therapist) in the story, and a brewing scandal that the Brooklyn DA's Office has for too long refused to bring these cases for fear of alienating on of his powerful allies (the Borough Park bloc, basically).
There seem to be rather a lot of them about these days...
Use and propagate in good health!
They're ubiquitous because that is the structure of Kleptocracy, so its creatures (exemplars) embody that same structure.
The world's a multi-cultural festival of misogyny, is it not?
... the analog of the Orthodox Jewish communities' Modesty Patrols in the God's Work crowd is the loud philanthropy that results in hospitals, universities, parks, medical research projects, professorships getting named after the godly givers ...
Meanwhile I was taught that virtue is its own reward; sheesh!

Brainy light bulbs. Refrigerators that heat dishwasher water. Elevators that use no more energy than toasters. These are just a few of the "Oh Wow' topics last week at the annual EE Global conference.
But it was growth in cities – and their buildings – that was clearly on the minds of industry leaders, 500 in total who gathered at the Washington, D.C. event, sponsored by the Alliance to Save Energy.
The US spends $432 billion per year on energy for buildings –…Continue

Netflix, you were right. I liked Downton Abbey. And thanks, Amazon I do want to read Michael Lewis' new book. I still can't figure out how Google knows I have a new dog.
Even if at times it feels a bit eerie, such 'consumer-of-one' marketing is a convenience many of us have come to appreciate. And it's an approach now embraced by most major retailers.
The exception? You've guessed it: the ever-old fashioned electric utility.

Electricity comes at a cost. There's simply no getting around that problem (short of installing your own solar panels, of course). However, that doesn't mean that you have to be stuck with high power bills. There are several ways that you can reduce the amount of your electricity cost – and they don't necessarily involve turning off your air conditioner in the middle of summer, either. Here are some excellent ways to knock those costs down.

Back in the '80s, the Center for Neighborhood Technology and others helped the City of Chicago pass a residential utility disclosure ordinance that required the disclosure of heating bills when residential properties are sold or leased in the city. Why? Heating expenses constitute a significant home expense, and it's important for consumers and Realtors to have access to this information.
Until now, complying with the ordinance could take up to two weeks: a Realtor submitted an…Continue

It says something that Ernest Moniz chose to deliver his first public talk as US energy secretary to an energy efficiency crowd.
His appearance last week at EE Global in Washington, D.C. was a surprise of sorts. And the timing was significant. Moniz had only been confirmed as energy secretary three hours before taking the podium at the Alliance to Save Energy's annual conference.
Why did he make the stop?

4 Alexander Street
ROCHESTER was a brash new city, bright and ready for a man eager to claim his own place in the world. In 1847, it was a prosperous manufacturing center of fifty thousand people. Situated in upstate New York at the fall line of the north-flowing Genesee River just short of where it reached Lake Ontario, Rochester was across the lake from Canada, the last—the safe—stop of the underground railroad. That famous conduit to freedom, so compelling to the American imagination that it sometimes seems to dwell only in legend, was real indeed in Rochester; from the city, many runaways from slavery made their way out of the United States and into freedom, with the help of a vigorous group of antislavery citizens. The route to liberation led due north, and Frederick Douglass chose the richest image of the resolute, hopeful trek of runaways to freedom when he named his new antislavery newspaper North Star.
Rochester offered promise to another runaway as well. For Douglass, going there meant a new start. He would be leaving Lynn and breaking free of the Garrisonian fold. Initially, it had appeared that the traveler had returned not only to hearth and home but also to his old relationship with his mentor. The two had parted affectionately in Liverpool the previous fall, when Garrison had left for America, but when Douglass returned, he brought with him ideas and ambitions that the American Anti-Slavery Society found hard to contain—notably his plan to have his own newspaper, with which to bring his own words in his own way to a public concerned with the slavery question. "I still see before me a life of toil and trials ..., but," he pledged, "justice must be done, the

Ozone Review
Developer Geardome asks their customers, "Can a game be a piece of art?". The debate over this may rage on in tiny pockets of the internet (and in some cases in mainstream media), but truthfully 'Ozone' by Geardome skirts awfully close to art and delivers an experience that's complex and dazzling in its execution. Your orb is pushed around the game's various mazes by touching a direction on the virtual d-pad. This releases a small portion of your remaining gas, which in turn shrinks y…Watch The Video Review

StarCannon Review
Jagex Game Studio, better known for their great selection of free games online have recently released a port of their popular shoot'em-up title 'StarCannon' for the iPhone. Strangely, something seems to have been lost in translation and this title bears very little resemblance to the game's progenitor. Like most recent shoot'em-ups, StarCannon uses a touch and drag system to control the player's ship. Firing is automatic while touching the screen and the ship will automatically steer…Watch The Video Review

Iron Man 2 Arriving Early May
Gameloft is set to launch Iron Man 2 on May 7th for the iPhone and iPod Touch. Tony Stark is back and so are the bad guys. It's a showdown against Whiplash, Ultimo and Firepower, with War Machine at Starks side and a number of upgradable suits available including Mark IV, Mark VI, Stealth and Underwater.

Iron Man 2 will use virtual controls similar to titles like Hero of Sparta and Avatar. The game will also be connected to Gameloft Live, Gameloft's social network which includes 25 achievements. Take a look at some of the scr…
Top Dog: Farmyard Adventures Review
The agricultural system of New Zealand is important to its country, providing most of its major exports to the world. Images such as a shepherd rounding up his sheep with the help of a sheepdog are iconic to NZ's pastoral landscape, so it's little wonder that local developers 'Flightless' have based their latest App Store game around this rural chore. Top Dog: Farmyard Adventures puts you in the place of a shepherd calling out directions to his faithful sheepdog in order to round up t…Watch The Video Review
Tiptop Review
In what could be the first of a series of games from developer On5, 'Tiptop: the last march.' is a Lemmings-inspired game that's married with pop-culture to create a challenging and (at times) tongue-in-cheek experience that's hard to put down. In order to assist your heroes lines can be drawn on to the level, providing a path for them to walk on or as barriers against enemies. Much like other line-drawing games, you're given a limited amount of 'ink' to use with drawn lines only stay…Watch The Video Review
Fruit Ninja Review
UPDATE: The constant support and updates from Halfbrick for Fruit Ninja has been nothing short of spectacular and over time this title has grown from a fun time waster to something you can share with friends either by sniping high scores or by challenging them directly online with a multiplayer mode.

With Sonic the Hedgehog being on every electronic device that's in some way wired to the internet (and possibly on some varieties of toasters), it was only a matter of time before the sequel made its debut.

MIKADO DEFENDERS Review
With so many different tower-defense games to choose from on the iPhone, it's hard to believe that a company like TAITO would take the risk of competing with such a large crowd. Thankfully their new title Mikado Defenders is a stand-out from the crowd, with its sumi-e inspired artwork and unique spin on the tower-defense gameplay.

Annual Lone Star Nationals - Deep In The Heart Of TexasWritten by on March 25, 2008 Contributors: Eric Geisert Good Guys 15th Annual Lone Star Nationals
Texas in the summer can be a very unforgiving place to those not acclimated to the searing heat and brutal gulf coast humidity, but when i saw that the Lone star nationals weren't until the beginning of october, i breathed a sigh of relief. to make the trip even better, Rick Love and the crew at Vintage air opened their doors to me and extended an invitation to fly in to san antonio and hit the road in one of their staff cars. there was only one catch, Rick warned me, "you're driving the only car in the company fleet that doesn't have a/c!" i shrugged it off and assured him that driving to an event in any form of vintage tin would be a welcome change of pace to the cookiecutter rental cars i've gotten stuck with throughout the year. Plus a chance to drive across texas with the Vintage air crew sounded great, so i changed my travel plans to accommodate the couple of extra driving days.
As they say, the trip is sometimes more important than the destination, but in this case we were heading to the goodguys 15th annual Lone star nationals. a few hours up the freeway in Fort Worth, texas, is the texas Motor speedway, a 1 1/2-mile paved oval super speedway, and our destination for the weekend. We arrived Thursday afternoon after a few texas stop signs (dairy Queens) to a throng of hot rods at the host hotel and where our registration papers lay, the doral tesoro hotel. After receiving our goody bags, it was off to have dinner and get some much-needed rest.
Friday kicked off nice and early with a handful of guys already tearing up the street challenge autocross course, one of the newest and fastest-growing features of many of the goodguys shows this year. If that weren't exciting enough, for a hundred bucks, team texas would take you on a 140-mph Rocketship Ride around the big, paved oval. all these high-octane activities were of course eclipsed by the 3,000-plus cars that cruised in to the speedway from all the southern united states and Mexico.
Saturday included many of the same attractions, including the specialty parking areas-homebuilt heaven, deuces are Wild, Fins are Fifty, ya gotta drive 'em, and the goodguys' Pro's Pick area. in addition to the specialty parking areas and more than 80 awards given out by the goodguys staff, stReet RoddeR was on hand to conclude our top 100 event sponsored by turtle Wax. it hasn't been easy picking 100 of our favorite cars, trucks, hot rods, and customs, but the field has definitely come to represent some of the best vehicles out there, regardless of budget, style, make, model, or year. check out www.streetrodderweb.com for the results of this year's top 100 program and to see who closed out the field as the 2007 street Rod of the year.
Luckily, the texas weather was moderate and quite comfortable for our traveling crew, and we all made it back to Vintage air headquarters in san antonio after ogling over all the winners on sunday morning. a big thanks goes out to Rick Love and the crew at Vintage air for getting me to Fort Worth in style and treating me to the only way to attend a goodguys show-behind the wheel of a hot rod!

Three-time indy 500 winner Johnny Rutherford was on hand Saturday dazzling the crowd with high-octane tales of his racing days.Sean ornduff's '27 Ford roadster pickup runs a tri-powered 364ci Buick nailhead engine and bares the name of his tomball, tX-based hot rod shop.Eddie hopper had one of the cleanest F-1 pickups we'd seen in years. the '48 Ford hauler retained the stock motorvation in the form of an 8Ba Flathead and was chosen as the Body coddington Pro's Pick.The street challenge autocross course was getting a serious whooping all weekend long, but in the end it was gene McKeever's '32 roadster that took top billing in the street Rod class.Satin copper paint on whitewall-clad american five-spokes is a winning combination on Michael taylor's '59 chevy pickup.Frank Pendleton got the nod for the oldest automobile at the event for his 1902 oldsmobile replica runabout. But the question remains: is it a street rod, or a hot rod, or a resto rod, or a ...?
Judging from this pair, it's fair to say that nathan hale has a thing for '54 chevys. the Lewisville, tX, native lays claim to both low-riding chevys.Fresh from Bobby alloway's shop earlier this year, Van tyler's '33 Ford threewindow has been turning heads wherever it shows up.Mike davis' rare '33 Ford phaeton is only one of the davis family's hot rods. in addition to a very clean Ford woodie, Mike's tub runs a 302ci small-block Ford backed by a c4 auto trans on a total cost involved chassis with a heidt's iFs frontend.Who'd have ever thought that station wagons could look so good? settin' 'em in the weeds and slappin' on an oversized set of rollers and a custom paint job seems to be a formula that works extremely well.There were a half-dozen very clean station wagons on hand at the Lone star nationals, including greg gerhard's '59 Ford country sedan.Scotty and nancy gray cruised in to the texas speedway all the way from La habra heights, ca, in their 1958 chevy del Rey five-window wagon.
We first caught a glimpse of Larry Roller's immaculate '32 three-window coupe at the goodguys hot Rod nationals where it was a runner-up for the goodguys hot Rod of the year award.Mark and angie sowell cruised in to texas from their tulsa, oK, home in their gorgeous audi Red '49 Ford convertible. under the owner-built-andpainted body is a detailed chassis that rides on a Mustang ii iFs, 9-inch Ford rearend, and is powered by an Ls1/4L60e combo.

Media Corner: Mansplaining How to Calculate the Percentage Increase of Your Rent – It's Easy!Tuesday, March 17th, 2015
Here's what kicked things off:
Now I'll tell you, I wouldn't even dream of mentioning slight errors such as these to our touchy, touchy local press corpus. I mean, if they liked numbers, they'd have gone to bidness school and gotten an MBA, right?
Anyway, beloved gadabout Todd Lappin went there, right here.
"Math factcheck please: What is the % increase from 2145 to 8900?"
Well, let's fix this sitch once and for all:
IMO, people oughtta say "a big increase" if that's what they mean – there's no reason to be so precise if you're going to get it wrong, right?
The SFMTA's New MUNI Blog Urges You to Raise Your Rent by Voting YES on the Half Billion Dollar Prop A, More or LessTuesday, September 9th, 2014
Why did the people at the SFMTA just happen to start up a PR blog three months before an election that it really, really care$ about, you know, so it can continue to pay its employees their six-figure salaries? Mmmm…
Their latest effort:
"Going Green – SF's Taxis Can Help You Go Green by Gary Fiset, September 8, 2014"
Isn't this a headline at least a touch patronizing? I think so. "Oh MUNI, help me go green! Empower us!"
Our occasional "Going Green" feature will focus on the sustainability efforts at the SFMTA. We'll share fun facts and figures about one of the most sustainable transportation systems, including Muni and the city's taxi fleet, in the U.S.
Boy, that prose gags, doesn't it? I think what dude is saying is, "Vote YES on Prop A. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!"
SF taxis come in all shapes, sizes and colors, but the vast majority of the fleet is definitely green.
Again, that prose gags, doesn't it? But I think what dude is really saying is, "Vote YES on Prop A. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!"
In the 90s taxis were mostly lumbering Crown Victoria sedans that got 10 miles per gallon. Today's hybrid taxis get better than 40 miles per gallon, reducing the GHG emissions by 75 percent.
Well, let me call bullshit on that one, Gentle Reader. I'm showing a City MPG of 19 Miles Per Gallon for the oldest of the Crown Vics that the SFMTA is talking about. In fact, those lumbering Crown Vics weighed less than lithe, smallish, current-day BMWs, like an athletic 2.0 litre 5 Series, for example. So, if you throw in an airport run or two during an average shift, then you're well over 20 MPG. Oh, what's that, in real life, with the hills and all the passengers and luggage, 1990's era CVs got less than 20 MPG? All right, well, then that means that, IRL, today's hybrid taxis aren't averaging "better than 40 MPG" in San Francisco taxi service, right? I mean I see the point you're making, SFMTA, but you're lying about mpg and you know it.
Converting SF's taxi fleet to hybrid and CNG has resulted in removing more than 60 thousand tons of GHG emission savings, the equivalent of taking 6,890 passenger cars off the road every year.
Again, that prose gags, doesn't it? And please note how the SFMTA spins the putting of GHG's into the atmosphere as "removing" GHG's – those are kind of opposite things, right?
So it's looking like the SFMTA, San Francisco's worst public agency and the operator of America's slowest big-city public transit system, is giving itself an A+ on how it has managed taxis in SF.
I cry foul.
And, oh yes, I've learned a bit more about the rent increase, the"passthrough" you'll be voting for yourself this November if you vote YES, as the SFMTA really wants you to do, on that huge Prop A bond. It'll be turbo simple for your landlord to raise your rent to pay for Prop A. Other landlords will laugh at your landlord for NOT increasing your rent. So, even if you've never had to deal with rent passthroughs before, you'll get one from Prop A.
So what you say, what's a few bucks a month in increased rent over the next seven years to pay for a better MUNI? Well fine, Gentle Reader, as long as you know it won't be just a "few" bucks, then vote AYE, and so long as you know what you're getting us into. But IMO, the road to a better MUNI starts with a NO vote on Prop A.
And a YES vote tells the SFMTA to carry on, business as usual, you all are doing a great job, gee thanks for all the "EXCELLENT TRANSPORTATION CHOICES" [that's an actual SFMTA corporate catchphrase, I'm srsly.], here, have some more money, build us another Subway to Nowhere why not…
OMG, I'm Confused: Rent a Tiny "Sleeping Room" on Page Street for $1250/Mo? But What About Rent Control?Wednesday, July 30th, 2014
[UPDATE: It's back, after being hounded off of CL – here it is for the low, low price of $995 per month as of August 4, 2014.]
Or $1150, that's the latest price for 1880 Page Street #3B. Excerpts from craigslist:
"Video Tour at http://youtu.be/8OEgeklUCDQ

This is a rent control apartment.
Students, international students, co-signers all welcome.
Studio / 1 Bath in Haight Ashbury
Rent: $1,150
Square feet: 200″
So I'm thinking there's gotta be a kitchen associated with this apartment somewhere, right?
Hey, what about 1880 Page Street #3A?
Well, I think I've found the kitchen.
Mmmm. It might be hard to believe but when we were deep into our Great Recession back in aught-ten, you could rent a two-bed on Page in the Upper Haight for a mere $1600 per month. See?
"Price: $1,595
2 Bedrooms
1 full Bathroom
650 sqft"
If this two-bedroom unit rented for $1600 back in 2010 and the same tenant(s) is/are still there, then the current rent is going to be $1600-something per month, let's guess, assuming no pass-throughs from the landlord.
Let me now direct you to Topic No. 359: Section 6.15c(3) Petitions Based on Proportional Rent.
Uh oh.
But hey, maybe a new master tenant moved in to the two-bed just this year in high-rent 2014. In that case the rent could be what, like $4000 per month? IDK, I'm not up on things, pricewise. Anyway, imagining this, then maybe $1,000 or $1,250 or something like that per month is a fair price for just 30% of the apartment?
But then, no kitchen.
Uh oh:
"California Civil Code section 1941 states that when a landlord rents property to a tenant as a place to live, the property must be in a "habitable" condition. ("Habitable" means fit to live in; "uninhabitable" means not fit to live in.) Section 1941 also states that the landlord must repair problems that make the property uninhabitable – except for problems caused by the tenant or the tenant's guests, children or pets. In order for the property to be habitable, it must have … [a] kitchen with a sink, which cannot be made of an absorbent material (for example, wood)…"
Oh, and lastly, "SLEEPING ROOM?" Hey, you're a naive international student right? Well, here's your new sleeping room, hurray!
In the words of John Malkovich, WTF to that.
Or maybe Unit #3 used to be a three bedroom?
In closing, "Amenities: Carpet"
In closing, never forget Kitchens.

The US Attorney's Office Throws Down: Reaches $80k Settlement with Fremont Apt. Complex for Discrimination Against FamiliesTuesday, July 29th, 2014
First, take a look at this review on YP.Com:
"This place is awful!!! DO NOT MOVE HERE IF YOU HAVE KIDS!!! They act like they are family friendly but they most certainly are not. We were constantly harrassed for our 2 yr old's night mares. We were threatened with calls to CPS because "we let him cry for more than 10 minutes", we called the police department to find out what our rights were and go figure we were doing nothing wrong. I would wake up to nasty messages from the manager about my bad parenting. Right before we moved they posted notice on all the tenants' doors saying that kids were no longer allowed in the courtyard regardless of supervision. It said more specifically that parents were lazy and needed to make time for their kids and take them to park to play…"
That was the wind-up, now here's the pitch:
"Justice Department Obtains $80,000 Settlement In Housing Discrimination Lawsuit Against California Landlord
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 25, 2014 – WASHINGTON – The Justice Department today announced an agreement with the owners and operators of Woodland Garden Apartments in Fremont, California, to settle allegations of discrimination against families with children. Under the consent order, which must still be approved by the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, the defendants are required to pay $77,500 to the victims of their discrimination and an additional $2,500 to the government as a civil penalty. The settlement resolves a complaint filed by the department on Oct. 25, 2013.
The lawsuit alleged that the apartment complex maintained rules that discriminated against families with children in violation of the Fair Housing Act. Specifically, the lawsuit challenged a rule that prohibited children from playing outside in the common grassy areas of the complex and provided that families would be evicted if they violated this rule. The lawsuit also alleged that the actions of the defendants constituted a pattern or practice of discrimination.
Spank the Landlord! – Infamous Owner of 312 Fillmore Gets a Notice of Violation from San Francisco – Tenants Strike BackFriday, May 23rd, 2014
Well some tenant at 312 Fillmore got a letter from the landlord and sent it off to Hoodline.com and the rest is history.
Here's the update. Some of the tenants contacted DBI. See?
And then DBI sent an Inspector out two days ago.
And then the Inspector looked around and filed a Notice of Violation yesterday.
"On 5/21/14 Inspector Steve Mungovan investigated the complaint at unit #25 of the subject property and observed violations of the San Francisco Housing Code which are delineated within the Notice of Violation issued on 5/22/2014 identified by Complaint Tracking #201474055. Pertinent observations are as follows: Peeling paint and damaged wall surfaces."
This is only going to get worse for this particular landlord.
Oh, and guess what? If the LL tries to evict anybody soon, that action just might be presumed to be a retaliatory eviction.
On It Goes…

The Reason Why It's Not "Illegal" for the Landlord at 312 Fillmore to Require $100K Income and a 725 FICO ScoreTuesday, May 6th, 2014
Here's the post from Hoodline. It shows part of a letter given to all the tenants at, let's say, 312 Fillmore on Haight.
Can't say that I know the purpose, but it could be to give a heads up to tenants who might wish to replace a roommate under the rules laid out by the San Francisco Rent Board. There's some stuff in there about landlords "unreasonably" withholding consent from existing tenants who want to get a new roomie. Of course there are all kinds of factors that determine who and how many people can live in a unit in rent controlled SF, so it's not impossible that you'd have two people in a one bedroom and then one moves out and another wants to move in. And at that point, that's where incomes and credit scores can become factors. And if the LL says no to a potential new roomie, that's when things can go to the SFRB.
Now if you want to say that this letter means "Make $100k Or Get Out," well that's your right, but I think you're jumping to conclusions. If you want to say that this is a kind of harassment, well, you're going to need a lot more than this to be able to do anything with it. And if you're irritated by this landlord coming into your studio all the time without giving proper notice first, well, the lawgivers in Sacramento didn't exactly specify a penalty for not giving proper notice, so there's not much you can do there either.
(But, by all means, go ask Robert (or whatever his name is) what his intent was. And if he says, "Well, I'm evicting everybody in the building who makes less than $100k," well, then the conclusion you all jumped to was OK fine.)

Wow, a Master Tenant Tells KQED He Rents Out Room for More Than Allowed by Rent Control – WTF? Plus, a Simple SolutionThursday, April 3rd, 2014
All right here we go:
In San Francisco, Rooms for $1,000/Month Are Now Scarce – Sam Harnett | April 2, 2014
"Brian Harrigan is on the other side of the equation. He is on the lease of an iconic four-bedroom Victorian in the Lower Haight. He could probably rent the rooms out for as much as $1,500 each, but he doesn't want to be greedy. At the same time, he said, 'If I was to rent it out at like $500 I would have hundreds of emails. You would get everyone applying for it, and it wouldn't be manageable.' Harrigan recently had a room open up in the apartment and he decided to put it up at $1,000 — about double the rent-controlled rate and $500 below what he could have charged. Even with the inflated price, he received about 50 applications for the one room."
What what what – the rent for the room is "about double the rent-controlled rate?"
Non non non! You can't do it that way in SF.
Here are the three rules, IIRC:
1. Total rent paid by the subtenants may not exceed the rent paid by the master tenant to the landlord.
2. Rent paid by subtenants to the master must be proportional to the total rent – so if the rent controlled rate is for a two-bedroom is $1000 per month to the landlord and the master and sub each share 50-50 (like the rooms and everything else are identical) then the rent charged to the sub should be $500, or close enough to $500.
3. The rent paid by the master to the landlord shall be disclosed in writing to the sub before the sub moves in in the first place.
Those are the rules – live it love it learn it.
Now, can a subtenant get back money from the master if the rent charged is deemed to be disproportionate? Hell yes, going back years.
So is it wise to tell KQED how you set the rate for a room in rent-controlled San Francisco if you're not sure you're doin it right? No.
So what should master tenants do then? 'Cause if you advertise a room for $400 a month on craigslist the world will beat a path to your door, right?
Here's what you do, you figure what the rent should be for a room but you keep it a secret at first. Then you advertise the room at a market rate, $1400, whatever – and that will cut down on the riff-raff, that will avoid a 50-person beauty contest from every state in the nation, right? And then after you pick somebody to be your new roomie, then comes The Reveal, which is actually the rent is only $400 a month are you cool with that. And it will be, I guarantee it.
What's that, this strategy isn't for you because ____? Well all right, have it your way. But just make sure* you split the rent proportionally, that's what I'm saying.
*Heavy is the head what wears the master tenant crown, right? Of course, there are pros and cons to being a master tenant in rent controlled SF – it's not for everyone.
1049 Market Street Tenants Win a Reprieve in Their Mass Eviction – Presser at City Hall Today at 4:30 PMWednesday, February 19th, 2014
Word comes from tommi avicolli mecca:
1049 Market STREET Tenants Win a Reprieve in Their Mass Eviction
San Francisco – Tenants of 1049 Market, who are facing eviction at the hands of a landlord wanting to turn their live/work apartments into office spaces, will be holding a press conference today at 4:30pm on the steps of City Hall (Polk Street side) to announce that they have won another reprieve in their battle to stay in their homes. Their landlord has withdrawn his appeal of the suspension of THE permit that would have allowed him to demolish their apartments and evict them.
The appeal on that suspension was scheduled to be heard today at the Board of Appeals at 5pm.
Officials of the Department of Building Inspections (DBI) suspended the permit after a walk through of the building. DBI officials DETERMINED that they had discretion in requiring the landlord to install light wells, a very expensive renovation, to fix a major code violation cited in a 2007 Notice of Violation: the lack of natural light in some of the apartments. Other violations are minor and can be easily addressed by the owner.
Tenants received eviction notices last September, but with the help of Housing Rights Committee, legal support from Tenderloin Housing Clinic and the involvement of Supervisor Jane Kim and DBI, they organized to stay in their homes and fight back.
"It's a clear victory for us tenants," said 1049 Market resident Marcele Wilson, "This is about evicting working-class tenants and artists so that they can convert our apartments into offices and cash in on the mid-Market tech boom. But these are our homes, we're not leaving."
Tenants will be on hand for interviews today at 4:30pm."
Uh Oh, Now There's a Lawsuit Against the City for Recent Ellis Act Legislation – SFAA & realtors Fighting UsWednesday, January 29th, 2014
Read it and weep, San Francisco. We're getting sued:
"For Immediate Release, January 29, 2014:
San Francisco Housing Associations File Lawsuit to Block Anti-Family Legislation
San Francisco – On Tuesday January 28, 2014, the San Francisco Apartment Association, Coalition for Better Housing and the San Francisco Association of REALTORS® filed a lawsuit challenging the legality of legislation known as the Avalos Ellis Act and Merger Prohibition Legislation.
The legislation was passed by the Board of Supervisors and signed into law by Mayor Ed Lee in violation of building owners' rights under the state law known as the Ellis Act.
The legislation prohibits owners of multi-unit buildings from combining units in a building for ten years following an Ellis Act eviction or for five years following an owner-move in eviction.
On a practical level, the legislation prevents families who own a building from creating a home that meets their needs. For example, the legislation prevents a family from combining two small units into a larger one to provide a home for a growing family. Couples with young children often find themselves in need of additional space they did not anticipate when they purchased a rental building, yet the legislation punishes them.
Only 2 percent of new housing built in San Francisco since 2001 are single-family homes that provide adequate space for families, often with multiple generations living together. Lack of adequate housing to meet the needs of families has contributed San Francisco losing 5,278 people younger than 18 between 2000 and 2010, according to the census.
"The San Francisco Association of REALTORS® supports the rights of private property owners for the free use of their property as their needs suit them. This legislation only exacerbates the problems families face in finding adequate housing and drives out the families that have created the diversity we want and celebrate in our city," said Walt Baczkowski, CEO of the San Francisco Association of Realtors.
Because so few single family homes are being constructed, families rely on improving buildings they own, including tenancies in common to add living space. This legislation prohibits them from creating the home they need in a building they own.
"Families are fleeing San Francisco due to a multitude of reasons that include a lack of adequate space for growing families that often include multiple generations. This legislation exacerbates that problem by punishing and limiting options for families who simply seek to create a home that meets the needs of their family," stated Janan New, Executive Director of the San Francisco Apartment Association. "This legislation punishes hard working families, while doing little to protect renters."
The lawsuit states that the legislation is pre-empted by state law known as the Ellis Act, which allows building owners to take a building off the rental market and convert those units to condominiums or single -family homes. Under the law, building owners are already required to give occupants up to one year advance notice and provide relocation fees of $5,210 per tenant, up to a maximum of $15,632, plus $3,473 additional for tenants who are senior or disabled.
"My clients are seeking relief from this just-passed legislation which unfairly takes away the right of individuals and families who simply want to create a home for themselves and their family in a building they own," stated Jim Parrinello, attorney for the plaintiffs.

Malborough window cleaner airlifted after fall (From This Is Wiltshire)
Malborough window cleaner airlifted after fall
Updated 9:51am Wednesday 26th February 2014 in By Joanne Moore
Window cleaner Robin Salkeld was airlifted to hospital on Monday lunchtime after he fell from a ladder and through a conservatory roof of a house at The Green, Marlborough.
Mr Salkeld, of Church Street, Great Bedwyn, was taken to Frenchay Hospital, Bristol with severe lacerations.
He was cleaning an upstairs window of a house belonging to Trevor and Sally Brown when the accident happened at around 12.30pm.
Sgt Barry Reed of Marlborough police said officers were called to Marlborough Common to clear the area so the air ambulance could land.
Steve Pascall, who lives opposite the house in Oxford Street, saw the ambulance arrive. He said: "I don't think anyone was home because Tony was called and arrived home at the same time as the police."
Mr Pascall who knows Mr Salkeld as he is their window cleaner said: "We feel sorry for him because Robin is such a super guy, so helpful.
"It's so sad when this happens to anybody, but when it happens to someone like him, who is so helpful, it is an absolute tragedy."
Mrs Brown said today: "I do not want to say anything without checking with his wife first."
A spokesman for Wiltshire Air Ambulance said: "A patient who fell 30ft from a ladder and through a conservatory roof was airlifted to a major trauma centre."

Police investigating illegal handgun possessionApril 10,2013DUMMERSTON — Vermont State Police are investigating how a transient man obtained a firearm he cannot legally possess.
Robert Taylor Brewer, 64, was pulled over by State Police on Monday during a traffic stop on Interstate 91 in Dummerston. Police said they conducted a search and found a .40-caliber handgun in Brewer's car.
Brewer had a prior conviction of domestic assault, which, under federal law, prohibits him from possessing a firearm. Although he was not arrested, State Police said they seized the firearm and the investigation is still ongoing.MORE IN This Just InAnti-refugee activists are hosting a speaker at the Rutland Free Library tonight.

Well this is the thread for you!
I am now working for my 3rd summer in a row in this industry.
First 2 years (our summer is over xmas, like your winter you yanks!) I worked in Maize/cornfields for a Seed company. They bred seed to sell overseas, and they pollinated all the plants from the male plants (which were allowed to shed pollen) to the female plants. SO this meant that all the plants that were deemed to be female had to be de-tassled so that they couldn't shed pollen. We walked every field every second day. Day after day after day. Yay. It paid for the Cervelo though!
This year I am working at a Plant Nursery for $3/hr more, with more varied work and a better atmosphere (corn field workers were tired from working so many hours in the sun)
I work with Maintenance half the time, so far we've put up 320 sq m of shade cloth, and been going through a large greenhouse clipping some other shadecloth together. I also make up the boxes that the plants get sent away in (hundreds of the damn things) but that's cool I get to use this big staple gun that runs on compressed air! And there's the potting machine which fills puts with dirt and puts a hole in it so you can just dunk that seedling into it. They are then chucked into trays and carted off to the houses to be nursed into healthy plants
So what do any of you guys do for ag?

The northern Everglades Water Conservation Areas have experienced recent ecological shifts in primary producer community structure involving marl periphyton mats and dense Typha-dominated macrophyte stands. Multiple investigations have identified phosphorus (P) as a driver of primary producer community structure, but effects of water impoundment beginning in the 1950s and changes in water hardness [e.g., (CaCO3)] have also been identified as a concern. In an effort to understand pre-1950, primary producer community structure and identify community shifts since 1950, we measured pigment proxies on three sediment cores collected in Water Conservation Area-2A (WCA-2A) along a phosphorus enrichment gradient. Photosynthetic pigments, sediment total phosphorus content (TP), organic matter, total organic carbon and nitrogen were used to infer historic primary producer communities and changes in water quality and hydrology regulating those communities. Excess 210Pb was used to establish historic dates for the sediment cores. Results indicate the northern area of WCA-2A increased marl deposition and increased algal abundance ca. 1920. This increase in (presumably) calcareous periphyton before intensive agriculture and impoundment suggest canal-derived calcium inputs and to some extent early drainage effects played a role in initiating this community shift. The northern area community then shifted to Typha dominance around 1965. The areas to the south in WCA-2A experienced increased marl deposition and algal abundance around or just prior to 1950s impoundment, the precise timing limited by core age resolution. Continued increases in algal abundance were evident after 1950, coinciding with impoundment and deepening of canals draining into WCA-2A, both likely increasing water mineral and nutrient concentrations. The intermediate site developed a Typha-dominated community ca. 1995 while the southern-most core site WCA-2A has yet to develop Typha dominance. Numerous studies link sediment TP >650 mg P/kg to marsh habitat degradation into Typha-dominance. The northern and intermediate cores where Typha is currently support this previous research by showing a distinct shift in the sediment record to Typha dominance corresponding to sediment TP between 600 and 700 mg P/kg. These temporal and spatial differences are consistent with modern evidence showing water-column gradients in mineral inputs (including Ca, carbonates, and phosphorus) altering primary producer community structure in WCA-2A, but also suggest hydroperiod has an effect on the mechanisms regulating periphyton development and Typha dominance.

Dinner by design creativity delights attendees
Her camera in hand, Marie Mohila pointed out a table with blue and white accents.
The stemware and place settings were precisely laid, "simple, yet elegant," she noted.
Mrs. Mohila, 62, of Dickson City gushed over the table decorated by Tron Weddings and Party Rentals.
It was just one of the displays Saturday at the third annual Dinner by Design at the Scranton Cultural Center, which benefited the center and the Lackawanna Historical Society.
"You can just picture a young woman with a gown on," Mrs. Mohila said as she moved on to the next table.
Local designers and decorators presented a different vision at each table around the cultural center.
On the fourth floor, a few elevated candles and bowls of fresh tomatoes and peppers accented a display by Celebrating Home. Nearby, ornate balloons topped a towering centerpiece of flowers at a table designed for a children's party, complete with stuffed animals in balloon hats.
"They're very unique and over-the-top, but at the same time it relates to what you can do in your own home," explained Michael Gilmartin, the president of the board at the historical society.
The weekend-long event kicked off Friday with a preview party that Mr. Gilmartin said drew nearly 150 people.
This year, a variety of presenters also spoke throughout the weekend, providing guests a little extra value for their ticket price, explained Mary Ann Savakinus, executive director of historical society.
"I love that they go the extra mile to do it," she said of the exhibitors.
On the second floor, Marie Greto and her friend Joan Chellino, both of Carbondale, studied the spray-painted chair covers and chain link fence centerpiece in a design by Central Park Flowers with Endeavor Audio and Lighting and Scranton Rent-All.
Mrs. Greto said her grandchildren would probably like it, but she preferred the more traditional elegance.
"I can still remember the first display by Posh," she said describing a black and white table featured in the first year of the fundraiser.
The two haven't missed the event since. "It's very beautiful," Mrs. Greto said. "It's very authentic."
