Travel for Success
Posted Mar 3 // Devon Alana
Planning a spring getaway this month? I picked out a few travel essentials to make your trip a success!
1: Two extra wheels on a suitcase doesn't sound like a big deal, but with them, you can push, spin, and pull your suitcase with ease while boarding the plane. This lightweight suitcase is just what any jet-setter needs while rushing through an airport to make a connection. The hard shell protects your cargo and the bag also features an expansion zipper for when you buy too many souvenirs.
2: The perfect mobile mini speaker with bluetooth is a necessity for late night hotel jam sessions. Bring this portable speaker by the pool or to the beach! I never like to go far without my music. Headphones are great, but when you have this powerful speaker, you can listen with friends! Plus this offers up to 7 hours of music without an outlet in sight.
3: Never run out of battery with this backup charger. Charge 2 devices at once 3-5 times each before you ever need an outlet. Perfect for travel when you aren't sure when you will see the next power outlet. You can charge smart phones, cameras, tablets, and more with one device.
Brookstone at Coconut Point Mall has all of these wonderful travel essentials. Stop in to find everything you need before your next trip!

Virgin and Child Enthroned, c. 1500, by the Master of the Embroidered Foliage. Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute. Gift of the Executors of Governor Lehman's Estate and the Edith and Herbert Lehman Foundation.
For Immediate Release
September 10, 2004
Richly colored, highly detailed paintings by a mysterious 15th-century Netherlandish master are the focus of an exhibition opening at the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute in Williamstown, Massachusetts, on October 9, 2004. Medieval Mystery: Who is the Master of the Embroidered Foliage? will bring together a group of related paintings believed to be by an artist known only as the Master of the Embroidered Foliage. With loans from museums in France, Belgium, and the United States, the exhibition marks the first time these works, which all depict a nearly identical image of the Madonna and Child against different settings, have been examined as a group. The exhibition has been organized by the Musée des Beaux-Arts, Lille, and the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute in association with the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, under the auspices of FRAME (French Regional and American Museum Exchange).
"This exhibition is a detective story about some great works of art, bringing to light new information about this artist-if it is one artist," said Michael Conforti, director of the Clark Art Institute. "We know that our visitors will enjoy the beauty and richness of these paintings. At the same time we hope they will explore the scientific and technical analyses that help us understand how they were painted and who painted them, and be intrigued and enlightened by the questions the exhibition raises."
The inspiration for the exhibition is the 15th-century oil on panel, The Virgin and Child Enthroned, from the Clark's collection. The painting was part of a major gift from the estate of New York Governor Herbert Lehman and the Edith and Herbert Lehman Foundation in 1968. The gift, which included other early Netherlandish and Italian Renaissance paintings, is one of several important collections acquired by the Clark over the decades, building on the strength of the original collection of founders Sterling and Francine Clark. The Clark's painting will be joined by Virgin and Child in a Landscape from the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, Triptych of the Virgin and Child Surrounded by Angel Musicians from the Musée des Beaux-Arts, Lille, and Virgin and Child Crowned by Two Angels from the Groeningemuseum in Bruges, Belgium. Rare illuminated books from the Chapin Library of Rare Books and a medieval textile will also be on view.
The Master of the Embroidered Foliage is the name given to a painter active in the southern Netherlands from around 1495 to 1500. The late art historian Max Friedländer chose the name because of the artist's meticulous technique in painting foliage, with small, raised marks that resemble embroidery stitches. While the show will explore the possible identity of the Master of the Embroidered Foliage himself, it will also question whether all four paintings are indeed by the same artist.
The installation will include a "questions room" where various theories and problems will be presented along with scientific analysis and conservation information that reveals new information about the paintings. Visitors will be encouraged to closely examine the paintings and think about these questions for themselves. Throughout the show, curators, conservators, and art historians from the Clark and other institutions around the world, as well as visiting scholars participating in the Clark's renowned Research and Academic Program, will gather to view the exhibition and discuss its themes. In order to take advantage of what is learned throughout the exhibition, a catalogue will be published at end of the show's tour in 2005 in Lille.
"Part of the intrigue of this exhibition is that many of the answers won't come until the show is on view, so the public is integral to this process," said Richard Rand, senior curator at the Clark. "It is only by looking at these four paintings together, and by bringing other experts and scholars in, that we will begin to learn more. As the first venue, the Clark will function as a greenhouse for ideas that will grow into more fully formed theories as the exhibition continues."
The Clark painting depicts Mary, dressed in red robes, seated in front of a tapestry with the Christ child on her lap, leafing through the pages of a large book. On either side of the tapestry, a cityscape background includes finely executed details, such as a trio of angels, a man and a woman peering over a wall, and a sleeping dog. The central figures of all four paintings are virtually identical; however, the backgrounds, settings, and decorative details vary greatly from painting to painting. The possible meaning of each painting changes as the details change. Medieval audiences would have been familiar with the symbolic meanings, such as the practical healing qualities of the flowers and plants in the paintings. To illuminate this for today's viewers, the exhibition will include a range of information about symbols and iconography.
Medieval Mystery: Who is the Master of the Embroidered Foliage? will be on view at the Clark October 9 through January 2. It will later travel to the Minneapolis Institute of Arts (January 22-May 1, 2005) and to the Musée des Beaux-Arts, Lille (May 13-July 24, 2005).
The exhibition is a project of FRAME, a consortium of 18 museums in the United States and France. The group was founded in 1999 in order to promote regional museums in both countries, museums with important collections that are located outside of Paris and New York. The participating institutions share resources and expertise, exchange works of art, and develop joint exhibitions. Participating American museums are: the Clark, the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Dallas Museum of Art, the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, the Portland Museum of Art, the Saint Louis Art Museum, the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, and the Yale University Art Gallery. French museums participating are the Musée des Augustins, Toulouse; Musée des Beaux Arts de Bordeaux; Musée des Beaux-Arts, Lyon; Musée des Beaux-Art, Rennes; Musée Fabre, Montpellier; Musée de Grenoble; Musées de Strasbourg; Musée des Beaux-Arts, Rouen; and Musée des Beaux-Arts, Lille.
The Clark will also feature a related exhibition, Albrecht Dürer: Life of the Virgin, during the showing of Medieval Mystery. Drawing from the Clark's exceptional collection that includes a virtually complete representation of Dürer's prints, the exhibition will feature the great German artist's 1511 woodcut series, Life of the Virgin.
The Clark
The Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute is one of the country's foremost art museums and also a dynamic center for research and higher education in art history and criticism. The Clark's exceptional collections of Old Master, Impressionist, and 19th-century American art on display in the museum's intimate galleries are enhanced by its dramatic 140-acre setting in the Berkshires. The Clark is recognized for its special exhibitions, which concurrently advance critical thought and generate popular interest in the arts. Recent critically acclaimed exhibitions, organized by the Clark in collaboration with major European and American museums, include: "Bonjour, Monsieur Courbet!": The Bruyas Collection from the Musée Fabre, Montpellier (Summer 2004), Turner: The Late Seascapes (Summer 2003), Renoir and Algeria (Winter 2003), and Gustav Klimt Landscapes (2002). Forthcoming exhibitions include A Walk in the Country: Inness and the Berkshires (Winter/Spring 2005) and Jacques-Louis David: Empire to Exile (Summer 2005).
The Institute is one of only a few art museums in the U.S. that is also a major research and academic center, with an international fellowship program and regular conferences, symposia, and colloquia, and an important art research library. The Clark, together with Williams College, jointly sponsors one of the nation's leading M.A. programs in art history and encompasses one of the most comprehensive art history libraries in the world. Its Fellows and conference programs draw university and museum professionals from around the world.
In 2003, the Clark unveiled designs for its forthcoming building expansion and campus enhancement, designed by Pritzker-prize winning architect, Tadao Ando.
The Clark Art Institute is located at 225 South Street in Williamstown, Massachusetts. Throughout Medieval Mystery, the Clark galleries will be open Tuesday through Sunday, 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Adult admission is $10 (free to children 18 and under, students, and members) through October 31, then free November through May. For more information, call 413-458-2303 or visit www.clarkart.edu.

From journal What's a Trip to Peru Without Machu Picchu?
by davidx
Todmorden, England, United Kingdom
October 26, 2005
Sachsaywaman is an Inca fortress with massive "imported" rocks at the lowest level. These were used in combination with much smaller material at the next level and then smaller stones as you ascend. At the very top there's a restricted zone with the foundations of what was clearly once a round tower.
We went with our group to visit it and liked it so much that we decided to go again on our own on a free day. If you do this and want to wander without a guide, you will have to do a bit of beating off, but it's well worth it. There were various kindergarten groups wandering past and enjoying having their photos taken as we enjoyed a leisurely picnic lunch.
I didn't get to Machu Picchu, but those who did tell me that, although its site is truly outstanding, the authenticity of the remains is much greater at Sachsaywaman. A number of lintels have been replaced here, but one is original and most of the other features are as well.

As businesses expand their mobile deployments and implement Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) initiatives, mobile support demands increase. Organizations must find ways to reduce the volume of support calls. At the same time, they must limit lost employee time and assure that users remain productive. Empowering users to solve their own problems is an ideal way to do both.
BoxTone improves the supportability of mobile deployments by delivering the complement of Bring Your Own Device (BYOD), Fix Your Own Device (FYOD). Its intuitive User Self-Service (USS) portal both lowers costs and improves user satisfaction. BoxTone User Self-Service enables organizations to:
Each year more and more users demand mobile devices, apps and services, accelerated by the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) trend. At the same time, the mobile technology mix is in constant flux, with users swapping devices and platforms at an alarming frequency. This creates an ongoing challenge for IT support.
The necessary compliment to Bring Your Own Device is Fix Your Own Device (FYOD). BoxTone's User Self- Service (USS) is the first and only solution delivering FYOD capabilities. It enables user to solve 60-70% of support tasks themselves through an easy to use portal. BoxTone USS supports all common devices such as iOS, Android and BlackBerry. It also supports platforms such as Good, BlackBerry BES and Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync (EAS).
Most mobile issues resulting in support calls fall into one of 5 categories. The first is device provisioning. Users often struggle to get their devices onto the corporate network. This often results in a service desk call. A second is de-provisioning or replacing a device when it is not longer in use. A third is locking or wiping a device when it is lost or stolen. Users forgetting their password represents a fourth common challenge. Finally a fifth is when a device stops properly connecting to corporate data and the user needs to find out why. Together, these five issues represent 60-70% of support calls.
BoxTone User Self-Service addresses all of these issues. From checking status of the device to resetting password to device activation, migration, lock, wipe and full de-provisioning, BoxTone takes the burden off of the service desk. Users can easily address each issue themselves without a call. Organizations can now grow their deployments while containing costs.

Minnesota juvenile detention numbers droppingFargo, ND (WDAY TV) - Minnesota is seeing a drop in the number of juveniles sent to detention centers.
By: WDAY Staff Reports, WDAY Staff Reports, WDAY
Fargo, ND (WDAY TV) - Minnesota is seeing a drop in the number of juveniles sent to detention centers.
The plummeting rate is part of a national trend with Minnesota being one of five states with the sharpest decline. Numbers have been cut in half since 2001.
At Moorhead's West Central Regional Juvenile Center, staff is seeing similar results. The center houses kids from up to 10 counties and has secure rooms for 24 juveniles. They say alternative programs and treatment could get the credit.
Troy Amundsen, Secure Detention Supervisor: "I'm a big believer in prevention programs, so if you can get to a young person early in life, the chances of being able to help them make better decisions into adulthood, you would hope that that would make a change."
Amundsen says the center has not been in an overflow situation in quite some time.

Redskins deny connection to "Bravehearts" name
Hollywood gossip site TMZ got a bit of sports attention today when they reported that a neighbor of Washington Redskins owner Dan Snyder trademarked the name Bravehearts for the purposes of entertainment and football. The site speculated that perhaps Snyder's neighbor, wealthy patent investor Aris Mardirossian, had done this on behalf of Snyder so it would not attract attention [fail!] and that perhaps Snyder was preparing to change the name of the team.
However, the team shot down that rumor/speculation:
"There is no connection between the trademark and the Washington Redskins," the team said. "Dan Snyder does not know the man that was reported in the story."
That sounds right to me. I don't think Dan Snyder is anywhere close to conceding defeat on the team name issue. Far from it, actually. And has for the name Bravehearts… What a Scottish nationalist has to do with Washington football I cannot imagine.

County and school officials see upside to $1.1 billion Minnesota deficitFargo, ND (WDAY TV) - Minnesota is facing a $1.1 billion deficit. County and school officials say there's actually an upside in the budget battle.
Fargo, ND (WDAY TV) - Minnesota is facing a $1.1 billion deficit. County and school officials say there's actually an upside in the budget battle.
Minnesota has reduced nearly 4 billion dollars from the deficit. That's good news: county governments and school districts face fewer cuts. However, they aren't getting their hopes up just yet.
Grant Weyland, Clay Co. Commissioner: "It's a positive thing for Minnesota."
Grant Weyland's battled Minnesota's budget problems for years. The commissioner says Clay County is trimming the fat any way it can.
Weyland: "Our staff found ways to eliminate things that enable us to operate and still deliver the services we need to."
The deficit was about 5 billion dollars last session. Now, it's 1.1 billion. In comparison, that deficit is looking pretty good. Yet the county still could encounter some cuts.
To maintain vital services to residents, the struggle it could face in the future.
Weyland: "We can't just pass those costs along to the citizens of Clay County that are paying taxes."
Meantime for Moorhead Public Schools, it's finally getting some bucks back in the bank. The state delayed payments to districts recently. Now, Minnesota will pay money back: $500 million to schools state-wide.
Supt. Lynne Kovash, Moorhead Public Schools: "That is good news. That's what we've been asking for, the state not to use the school districts as bank."
Until Minnesota tackles school funding reform, Moorhead says it will spend conservatively. Just in case. Because the district wants to keep meeting goals, with state funding, or not.
Kovash: "Upgrading our technology, adding early childhood, adding world languages. We've been able to move forward with those, it just gives us the security that we can keep those in place."
The state spends about 34 billion dollars each year. And Governor Mark Dayton will submit a new budget proposal in January. Then, legislators have until July first to hash it out, or it could face another state shutdown.
Minnesota's legislature meets January 8th to battle the budget.
State Representative Paul Marquart says a lot of work needs to be done. The democrat says legislators need to avoid short-term gimmicks that hurt taxpayers and schools.
They'll need to focus on job creation, lowering property taxes, and increasing student achievement.
St. Rep. Paul Marquart, (D) Dilworth: "What we can't do is what we've done in the past, where we've hurt our schools, we've put higher property taxes on our senior citizens, and our families, and our farmers, and our small businesses."
Marquart is now the Chair of the Education Finance Committee.

Reaction to today's protest at the UN climate talks
"The people have spoken loud and clear: we need climate justice now and this means urgent action. Yet the politicians inside the talks are once again failing to deliver. If urgent, ambitious action is not taken the lives of millions will be in peril."
"Developed countries are responsible for this crisis. They must now stop trying to protect their polluters. They must commit to the ambitious emissions reductions the science and justice tell us we need to avoid catastrophic climate change."

Does the job perfectly. Very happy!
This took to etchant really quickly. Does what it's supposed to.
I bought the black one to replace a stock chrome part. Considering the upcharge, I though the finish was pretty poor - flat, thin, and uneven. Right out of the package there were spots I could see through. The edges are also less polished than on the stock part, giving it a slightly cheap look. Not bad, not great.
high quality fits and looks right
I bought a chrome jackplate and it is not as bright as the original, from Fender. So I kept the old one in my guitar without doing any replace.
Great stuff, nice and easy to use on my LP!
It doesn't look cheesy or off shapen like some of the import knockoffs. Well made and fit perfectly.
Just what I wanted for my all-black update to my '85 Fender Strat.
This works as well as you would expect a jack plate to work. Nothing to go wrong really, unless you installed it backwards. Good quality, screws provided!
Made with excellent quality material. Exactly like those used in Fender Stratocaster.

Mayor Lee addresses Google bus controversy
At a press conference on affordable housing today, the Guardian asked Mayor Ed Lee about San Francisco's favorite pinata: tech buses. The monstrous private shuttles, which daily whisk tech workers away to Silicon Valley, currently use Muni bus stops without paying fines, like most private autos do.
In Guardian News Editor Rebecca Bowe's article in the print edition of the Bay Guardian this week, the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency spokesperson Paul Rose tells her that although there is a proposal in the works to regulate them, the SFMTA won't profit a single dime from the plan.
"We are developing these policies to better utilize the boarding zones for these shuttle providers," Rose said. "What we're trying to do is provide a more efficient transportation network."
But everyone in San Francisco who has ever ridden Muni knows that it struggles to run on time, and chronic underfunding is a perennial Muni problem. It even hurts the city's bottom line, depressing our economy by over $50 million a year, according a report from the city earlier this May.
The report also highlights the cost to overhaul Muni between now and the year 2020: over $167 million would be needed to overhaul the system.
So why not make a few bucks from tech companies using Muni stops, who, according to the city, cause Muni delays?
We asked Mayor Ed Lee that very question at a press conference today. You can listen to his answer in the audio embedded below, or read the transcript for yourself.
San Francisco Bay Guardian: "Housing is one aspect of this, but transportation is another. The MTA's plan to deal with tech buses is cost neutral. Is that a missed opportunity to get additional funding for Muni?"
Mayor Ed Lee: "Not a missed opportunity. That's the essence of that 2030 task force, transportation task force, that we put together where they send a report to me, I'm in a process of reviewing all aspects of that.
Muni officials themselves were directly involved in producing that very comprehensive review along with our Planning Department and many in fact all of the departments here had implemented them.
Transportation is not just about Muni, it's about all the modes of how people get around the city. You can't forget that, because that's a really big part of the task force's work.
How to get people walking. How to get them bicycling safer and more. How to get cars less, and the cars that do, get them through where they have to go without stalling and congesting.
How do you invest in Muni? In its assets, in its transportation, in all of its aspects. How do you work with taxis and all the other car-sharing and automobile sharing companies. It's not just about taxis, by the way. I hear from my taxi friends as I walk around City Hall, they don't want to be left behind so we want to bring them in to see the new exciting use of Uber carshare and Lyft… all of those modes have to be paid attention to at the highest level, including investing in the assets of Muni.
I want Muni to be the choice."
Earlier in the press conference Lee voiced his opposition to all of the hatred pointed at tech companies.
"People, stop blaming tech, tech companies," he said. "They want to work on a solution. I think it's unfortunate that some voices want to pit one economic sector they view as successful against the rest of our challenge. The reality is they're only eight percent of our economy."
We tried to ask a follow up question, but at the end of his answer on Muni, the mayor's spokesperson Christine Falvey told the Guardian "We're going to go on a tour now, this is off topic."
Wow! You're really out there! I'll try and make it as simple as I can for you. I don't care what your original post was about. What I was laughing about was that you wrote a comment and then you posted a response agreeing with yourself. You pretended you were someone else and gave yourself a pat on the back. You do it all the time on this board. It's pathetically hilarious. Hope that clears up the confusion :)
LOL. Silly mindless troll. You did not read the post or you have zero comprehension skills. It wasn't agreeing with me, and provided no link to this mysterious poll of which they speak.
Here's the link with the 73% approval rating for Mayor Lee:
OK...start the denial process...and have fun! Think of it as a Xmas present.
There was more to it than that. I honestly don't recall what other questions they asked, but there was more to it. Now I'm trying to remember what they asked about. Latterman is a nice guy, but I wish he was as open with his data as PPP is. PPP puts the questions and the methodology online. SUSA does that too. Hell, even Rasmussen does that now, I think. In fact, every pollster that's legit does it these days. With Latterman's polls, you're always wondering what their demographic breakdown is, what their adjustment formula was, how they worded the questions, what OTHER questions they asked, whether they decided not to publish the questions because they didn't like the answers... etc etc.
Not saying he's not legit, just that what he publishes always leaves me with more questions than answers.
But even if we take it at face value, two things immediately jump out at me. People are fine with Ed Lee, but it looks like their support is a classic case of a mile wide and an inch deep. The other thing is that people strongly believe that cost of living is a big problem, and they overwhelmingly want GOVERNMENT to step in and do something.
That leaves an opening for progressives. We need to put forth ideas on how to curb rents and evictions, and if Ed Lee doesn't go along, we need to hammer him and get the message out that he isn't doing anything to address cost of living issues. And no, building more high-priced techie cages doesn't cut it! That may be why the BOS was willing to pass some moderately pro-tenant legislation without much of a fight from the board's right wing.
Ed's less obnoxious about his antagonism toward the working class than Willie Brown was during the first tech bubble. But if he continues to do nothing, that "support" of close to 6 in 10 who think he's doing "somewhat OK" can collapse very quickly... faster than you can say "Mayor Christine Quinn."
I did a bit of research on this poll.
The poll was conducted in English only. WTF?
Only 553 registered voters out of a city of over 800,000? (So that's the Chamber of Commerce, techies and who else?...the Real Estate Industrial Complex and their Liars?)
The poll was weighted on "housing tenure." (What does that mean?)
It seems to me if they truly wanted a legitimate poll they would have conducted the poll in as many languages as possible to match city residents and not this English-only shit. They would have conducted the poll similar to how the Registrar of Voters does all their paperwork with the many international languages.
This poll seems like it was intended to generate a very particular result by the methods used.
So the 73% approval that this Lee supposedly got in this poll is only 73% of 553 registered voters. That's it. That's not much. Leave it to a smug, brainwashed Lee-bot troll and SFGate to come up with another piece of propaganda newspeak like this.
This poll was conducted online. How does one trust an on-line poll?
Also, the site this poll is on (corporate SFGate) is very corporate-biased towards big business and homeowners. I rarely go to SFGate because I can't stand that site. I prefer more reliable and trustworthy sites when it comes to news and polls.
If this suspect poll showed that 73% despise Lee I would still say the same thing I've written here.
Hey, I just came up with a poll. 95% of registered voters agree with this post. (Number of SF registered voters polled: 6).
Enjoy the denials! Consider the poll to be an early Xmas gift for those of you who enjoy living in total denial about how out of touch you are.
Here is some more for you: It's actually the 3rd poll from different organizations that put Lee's approval rating at over 60%, which just happens to be the same % that voted for him on election day.
But, really, I don't want to detract from your holiday enjoyment...please enjoy yourselves denying the truth and living in your own private Idaho.
outcome that is unfavorable to their ideology.
It's telling when you have to resort to attacking the messengers rather than refuting any criticism that people are making in a substantive way.
they immediately claim that the election was "rigged" or "fixed" or "bought" or "stolen" or some such.
Similarly, if a poll shows Lee with a massive 73% approval rating, it has to be in error. Someone the left hates as much as Lee cannot possibly be that popular, right?
Folks are just making the observation that polls should be read critically. You're just repeating the same tired troll memes.
varying between 60% and 73% approval. that ties with his 60/40 thumping of Avalos.
One poll might be flawed but when they all say the same thing, you have to accept them.
Why is it so hard for you to believe that most people don't think like you?
The more I read about that poll, the fishier it seems. I don't have a problem with the 553 registered voters. That's a pretty ordinary sample size. The problem was that it was English only, and online. And no, you don't have to have a command of English to be a citizen. Many citizens do not speak good English, if at all. So why did Latterman rush to put out such a sloppily-done poll?
Perhaps it was to counter this:
Ed Lee's real approval now stands at 51%, and falling, and he only leads Ammiano by high single digits.
I still think he'd win if the election were held today, but I predicted that the affordability crisis would take its toll on Lee's popularity, and that appears to be happening much faster than even I expected.
Like I said, mile wide and inch deep. Unless he acts to address the affordability crisis, he could see his support collapse.
citizenship here, so if you don't speak English, then you are not a citizen, and so cannot vote.
knowledge test that applicants have to pass is only conducted in English, unless the applicant is over age 70.
So in practice every voters should be able to speak English. But then we do not know how many illegals are on the voter register.
"That may be why the BOS was willing to pass some moderately pro-tenant legislation without much of a fight from the board's right wing."
Yeah, even conservative Wiener went along with that, only because he's heading into his re-election year.
those changes are not effective and will not reduce evictions.
And they won't vote for any tenant protections that are effective?
I think we're starting to get at the true character of those who label themselves "moderates."
Doesn't sound very moderate at all to me.
has to move to Oakland having enjoyed a subsidized rent for a decade or two.
Moderates understand that the city needs a healthy and profitable private rental business or else many more would have to leave.
Moderates hopes to buy a property one day and so respect property rights. Or they own their own home and might want to let it or sublet it if they go away.
Moderates are, you know, moderate and not extreme.
Too convenient.
And Newsom never really won because he had more money and Bill Clinton wasn't legitimate because he never got a majority and Obama isn't a citizen and Bush stole the election through SCOTUS and blah, blah, blah. Losers always seek to invalidate the results of election with which they disagree.
Agreed. That's what I said at the time. If he were so popular he would have won outright and that would have been the end of it. But he wasn't popular especially since he was an unknown until Newsom appointed him and then Lee lied about not wanting the job. He still isn't popular. I suspect most people who live here don't even know who the mayor is. Many would probably still say Newsom. They would only be able to recite the name "Lee" if they saw it on their gadget screen.
when they don't go your way something unfair is going on.
Thats sums up your position for every election you have an interest in correct?
Incorrect. I didn't vote for mayor in that election because I didn't like any of the candidates so it's not that I'm sour because my candidate loss. I didn't have a candidate. I didn't support any of them.
For future reference so that you don't come off as a complete idiot, should you ask people: Who was your candidate in that election, or did you have one?
Instead of making baseless assumptions about people you know nothing about (other than what they write in a comment on here).
I should have got your purity thing with you guys that you know are gay are holding hands with women thing.
No one that ran was pure enough for you.
My mistake.
ha ha ha
Is that like one of those flying machines?
Big difference.
He broke his promise. Isn't that a form of lying? Don't you suppose he knew at the time he made the promise that he'd run again? I do. And even if he didn't because nobody knows the future, if he were an honorable man and trustworthy he would respect his initial promise.
Ed Lee told us that, at that point in time, he had no intention to run. And that was true, at that time.
He was later persuaded to change his mind because of the popularity and support he was getting.
And has been vindicated both by a crushing election victory and by a 73% approval rating.
It's really when a candidate is NOT popular that they have to waste time dragging the election through eleven rounds of RVC to get the thing in office through whatever means possible, through campaign $$ and money through the Real Estate Industrial Complex et al. (Money from his corrupt corporate owners in other words).
who are cutting edge, unless they are not and then they are easily fooled and don't vote correctly"
Voting is good unless my side loses, then there is some sort of reason other than my candidate got fewer votes.
Funny, I don't remember progressives complaining about RCV when Jean Quan backed into the mayorship of Oakland with the "anybody but Don" campaign. Although considering what a colossal failure her term has been, they're probably hoping everyone will forget that she's a progressive.
Why are progressives so opposed to mass transit? This anti-scientific world view of the progressive left is exacerbating the emissions of harmful greenhouse gasses. It's selfishness pure and simple. They want cheap subsidized rent at the expense of local environmental destruction. Disgusting.
Ed Lee could have smoked crack in Coit Tower. The voters were fully aware of whatever he had done or said and they convincingly stated that they still wanted him to be their Mayor.
Sorry that you have trouble dealing with their decision.
reasonably trust his instincts in making decisions, knowing he has the people behind him.
Except for a few whiney progressives, who really don't count anyway.
How many voters voted for Lee because Avalos was considered a menace by them?
The progressives can complain about Lee's promises or the process going through various levels of ranked choice voting, eliminating in the first round people who got a few hundred votes.
But the front runner progressive Avalos was probably considered a menace by the voters.
real progressive running. The moderate vote was split many ways because all the major candidates were moderates, as you'd expect.
In practice, few people wanted Avalos as mayor as a first choice, and a majority didn't want him as mayor at all.
There are several problems with these buses. We are way past the point of being able to stop them altogether, but I do believe they need to only be able to pick up at a central terminus. These giant, double-decker buses should not be allowed to run up and down residential neighborhoods and largely pedestrian sectors. They are blocking buses at Mission High School, blocking pickups and dropoffs for MUNI buses, and making illegal use of MUNI stops. Why are tech buses allowed on Valencia, for instance? We don't even have a MUNI line on Valencia!
Aside from all this, these buses are creating a sense of class apartheid by stopping at MUNI stops where passengers are waiting for MUNI buses, but unlike MUNI buses, these will not let everyone on. That they are nondescript and unmarked and have dark tinted windows gives a visual representation of the disconnect many of these tech workers and the tech companies have from the neighborhoods they're taking over.
The average ticket fine is $255.00 for illegal parking at a MUNI stop. These buses make over 200 stops per day within the seven miles that comprise San Francisco. First, why in the hell do you need so many stops for such a small area? Second, if each of those stops received only one bus per day (there and back), that's $102,000 in lost fines for the city AT MINIMUM, PER DAY. The lost fine money could for instance, accelerate the completion of the Transbay Terminal, and we all need that. When the terminal is done, it would also act as the terminus point in SF for these buses.
In the meantime, the interim central terminus would be connected to the public transportation system so that these workers would need to either find their own way to the terminus, or take public transport to get there, which would allow these workers to have a better idea of what it's really like for those who aren't riding gilded limo buses to work. If it overcrowds the system, that's a good thing. It forces the SFMTA and MUNI to look at what they're doing and make changes. It's one thing to have private citizens who can't afford other means of transport say that SFMTA needs to make changes, but when the CEOs of Apple, Google, and Facebook start telling the SFMTA that it's affecting their workers, things will get done.
People like to point to the fact that Google plans to put WiFi in public parks as some sort of example of philanthropy. This is not an act of benevolence; it's a way for them to get even more work time out of their employees.
Also, the mayor trivializing the need for solutions while saying "tech is only 8 percent of the city's economy" ignores the obvious fact that many of these tech companies are not based in San Francisco and are merely using it as a bedroom community for their sprawling campuses in Cupertino and Mountain View.
people actually live.
No, they don't. They can pick up from a central terminus point, and the employees can make their way to that terminus point to pick up their shuttles to go to work. Just as if I work in Millbrae and live in Crocker Amazon, I have to get to the Caltrain or BART station from where I live, which may require me to ride MUNI.
There are more drawbacks to the general populace by having tech shuttles run all over the city than there are by allowing them to run everywhere. If tech is only 8 percent of our city's economy, the needs of the majority should overtake the needs of the few. They block municipal transit buses, in some cases also school buses, snarl up and down residential and largely pedestrian neighborhoods with little clearance for double decker buses, give landlords yet another reason to drive up rent costs by touting a places proximity to their tech bus stop, and act as the symbol of growing resentment and class apartheid. I'm not saying it's not good to keep cars off the roads. I'm saying that we need to have a hub for these buses to pick up from.
I've already explained why these buses shouldn't be allowed to run all over the city. Having them pick up from a central terminus connected to public transportation also benefits SFMTA by increasing their revenue which can help to fund improvements, keeps the buses out of residential neighborhoods, removes the stigma of class apartheid felt when these buses roll up at MUNI stops across the city, and allows these workers to interact with their community in a way many of them currently don't. Consequently, these workers will also complain about the things everyone else does as it relates to public transit and push for improvements. That can only encourage more civic involvement and activity amongst a group of people who may not have otherwise cared. The ones that don't want to be inconvenienced to have to ride public transportation to get to the hub, well, they can deal like the rest of us, or move closer to work.
should not actually do what shuttles do and pick up people near their homes. You just haven't convinced me.
If they have to pick everyone up downtown, then much of the point of them goes away, because the workers will have to commute into downtown SF when they don't work there.
And then they might as well take CalTrain.
Shuttles give people what they want and need, and not what you think they should do.
And phrases like "class apartheid" just make you sound like a dufus. Just so you know.
There are differences between needs and wants. They don't NEED to have a shuttle that picks up a block away from their house. They just WANT not to have to interact with public transportation or walk a few more blocks. Again, we're talking about the needs of the few. They're 8 percent of the city's economy. Anything that involves MUNI should come before catering to a tech bus because MUNI caters to the majority. These buses blocking MUNI buses and making illegal use of their stops is a problem - one of many that would be alleviated with a central terminus for shuttle pickup.
"They might as well take CalTrain" shows how little you know about the proximity of these campuses to Caltrain or BART stations. The reason the shuttles exist is because public transport doesn't come close to these campuses yet the employees WANT to live in San Francisco.
Your point about commuting into Downtown SF to catch their shuttle to Mountain View or Cupertino makes no sense: "If they have to pick everyone up downtown, then much of the point of them goes away, because the workers will have to commute into downtown SF when they don't work there."
They don't work in the Mission or the Castro or Hayes Valley, either. I'm just suggesting that the pickup point changes to a central location. Instead of 200 stops, there would be one.
You do realize that even if you're not electing to use public transport, you're also complaining about having to go no further than 7 miles to pick up this shuttle from anywhere in the city, right? The city I grew up in could fit nearly 19 San Franciscos WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS. 7 miles is nothing, and the densest populations of tech workers that live in SF are in very specific areas that are close to MUNI and BART stations. If they didn't want to take public transportation to get to the hub, they could walk, or find alternate means of getting to the hub. UBER could do brisk business in the mornings for people who couldn't be bothered.
If you create a central hub in SF for shuttle buses to pick up at, people will use it. You just don't think they should be inconvenienced by having to.
I really could care less what you think of me, "Guest". Since we're levying personal criticisms though, starting sentences with conjunctions is not a good look. Just so you know.
You do realize that you are kind of an a$$hole with a chip on his shoulder yes?
tends to be an asshole.
Your nonsensical ramblings aside I'm sure you're a nice person and all.
If i wrote as badly as that, I wouldn't want anyone knowing it was me.
A lot more reasonable than the repetitive trolls who bleat Randian garbage over and over again.
and on and on and on so much he bored the shit out of me.
But there were definite overtones of envy in there that put me off.

I never understood the entire "weeaboo" thing.
How is "wearing stupid anime hats" different from sports fans wearing their favorite jerseys around?
The term "weeaboo" is one of those really stupid self-justified internet things. A weeaboo is bad because they are a weeaboo, not because of some concrete reasoning as to why what they do is bad. Just that, one day, someone on the internet decided "this is bad", made a word for it and let it carry. You said it yourself: the only difference between you and a "weeaboo" is that you don't wear your fandom on your sleeve, despite sharing similar interests. lol In other words, there //is// no difference.
But that internet peer pressure is really something, huh? Will make people ashamed to be //interested// in things, for chrissakes. There are a lot of people out there with absolutely //unhealthy// obsessions with things that "internet folk" find absolutely acceptable to spend hours of your day mulling over like pornography (or H), hacking into young girls' photobuckets for nude pictures and stalking jailbait over Facebook ie. the reason why /b exists. I don't see a derogatory term for that. Yet there is one for people who have a healthy interest in anime and Japanese culture?
Honestly, Sylux.

has anyone already tried the Cisco VPN Support in the 2.0 Beta. Is it working? Do you know how to import a certificate to be used by the vpn client?
has anyone already tried the Cisco VPN Support in the 2.0 Beta. Is it working? Do you know how to import a certificate to be used by the vpn client?
ive been trying but i dont think you can import a profile file. I think you need to know the password and host name and manually enter them. I havent had any luck since my company wont give out the password.
Same here, wondering if there is a way to import profile file.
I know the settings for my company's cisco vpn router, but I could not connect.
Anybody have any success with this.
Anyone know if there is a way to import a .pcf Profile file into the iphone so that the Cisco ipsec can detect your companies settings needed to connect?
I tried it with the 2.0 Beta 5A225c but it didn't work.
I just changed the firmware to the new 5A240d but I haven't got the chance to try it yet.
Once I do I'll get you informed.
I don't think there is any possible way to do that right now but I'm trying to find a way now.
I just tried the 2.0 Beta 5A240d and the Cisco VPN is working properly.
You just need to know the information and enter it manually because I don't think there is a way to import .pcf files till now.
You can use the setting in the .pcf by opening the file with text editor.
The problem is the group password is encrypted, so to decode it you can use a program called Cain & Abel on a windows machine. Just so that you know, this program download is packaged with spyware.
Here is the link on how the program does this - http://www.oxid.it/ca_um/topics/cisc...rd_decoder.htm
Use this website to decode the secret password. Just copy and past it into the website and hit decode. It will give you the short decoded password you will use.
I got my VPN working now connected to my company but I cant figure out how once im connected to check my company email.

My name is Stef and I am a brand spanking new Wornette of the editorial persuasion. I'm pee-my-culottes excited to be working here and hope to goodness that I can keep all you slick fashion types amused. My personal history is one of a fashion vagabond; wandering through art, aesthetic philosophy and theatrical costume, gradually making my merry way to Worn. In the future, I plan to pursue a master's degree in costume, collect a meaningful wardrobe, and eat lots of cupcakes. Let's keep it footloose and fancy free, shall we?
Current Inspirations:
Blog Mode at the Metropolitan Museum of Art
A rich, historical academic blog archive that you can still read through. Blog Mode is also part of a more formal exploration of the world of fashion blogs… which seems to be very fashionable right now (see the freshly unveiled fashion blog themed window display at Holt Renfrew, Bloor Street, Toronto). P.S. The Met's Costume Institute will also help guide you to consider fashion as art, if you don't already. That's my agenda and I'm pushing it.
Tiny's World
This blog is full of off-the-wall illustrations of ladies wearing imaginative frocks, intermingled with beautiful photos of inspirational clothing… belle, bella, bonita…. This is not a dictatorial fashion blog and that's the way I like it.
Adventures in Lo-Fi Land
The successor of Fashion, Art and Mess. This blog has a unique dusty pastoral aesthetic. Adventures is less about fashion and trends and more about fashion, art and people. Je l'aime.
Painfully Hip
Fashion forward finds for the weak of wallet. Relatively realistic fashion shots sprinkled with Cheap and Chic tips. The best of editorial spreads are curated lovingly without.
Vive Notes of Vive Magazine
Vive notes is a blog to look out for in the fall. It is currently at summer camp; however, I thought I should mention it here because the accompanying publication shares Worn's intelligent approach to fashion. Vive.

Midwest Living Review
To get the lay of the land on South 24th Street, just park and walk the more than seven blocks of restaurants and stores. Though not an affluent neighborhood, the district is vibrant and well maintained with colorful murals and lots of pedestrian traffic. Frilly First Communion dresses fill shop windows, and ceramic pots line the street. Don't miss the Tree of Life sculpture, which honors generations of European and Latin immigrants who've lived here and worked in South Omaha's livestock industry. To learn more about the neighborhood and its culture, visitors can take a guided walking tour or visit El Museo Latino, a treat for art and history enthusiasts.
For Latin food aficionados, South 24th Street is the perfect place to grab a quick (and authentic) bite. The sopes are delicious at Taqueria Tijuana, and just across the street, it's easy to get lost in the vast seafood menu at El Dorado.
The local Cinco de Mayo party is great family fun; the neighborhood hosts a massive parade and a big community celebration. Listening to this Latin music, watching traditional Mexican dancing and witnessing cowboys doing rope tricks is much more interesting than just whipping up margaritas and guacamole at home.

"I just love this design! It was perfect for my daughter's 1st birthday invitation! Fast delivery to Australia and great quality! Would definitely recommend. Now I just have to think of another event to hold so I can get some more beautiful invitations made up! :)"
"The quality of the card is great! The pictures on the card are beautiful! Guests who received invitations called me up to tell me how beautiful they are! I was also very happy with the service of Tiny Prints, they were delivered very quickly! Thank you very much!"
"We loved the colors and design of this card. It was perfect for our daughter's bright and fun 1st birthday party. Very easy to customize and highly complimented by our friends and family. My only wish for this was that there were more options to customize the back side with photos and still be in keeping with the lovely design on the invitation front."
"Ordered these invitations for our baby boy's baptism. I wanted something simple but elegant, and these were the perfect combination. The quality of the printing and paper were excellent! They came out exactly as I envisioned them."
"-I liked the ease of personalizing the card. -It was very unique and perfect for a 16 year old young man. It was difficult finding invitations for that specific purpose. Most are for "sweet 16" but that doesn't apply to boys. I know they don't like big parties but even for a small event you need invitations. -The little "eye" for the camera could be a little bigger. The paper and especially the envelope were good quality. -I heard a couple of comments about how neat it is."
