Impolite Questions to ask of PA City Council Candidates
Original post made by Douglas Moran, Barron Park, on Sep 14, 2012
Can you explain this policy? What would you do to change it?"
As someone who has developed questions for City Council Candidates, both for forums and formal questionnaires, I have chaffed under the requirement to be polite and measured and have longed to be able to ask "impolite" questions such as the above. Well this is the election I am free to do so.
I have put together a list of rough "impolite" questions with the idea that voters can pick any that interest them and then tailor them (or simply use them as an inspiration). These are the type of questions that work best when you have some opportunity to follow up with the candidate when the answer is not satisfactory. However, because follow-up tends to be very limited, you need to start with a pointed, even aggressive, question.
My evolving set of questions can be found at Web Link
First Council Candidate Forum is Saturday, 2-4pm, Unitarian Church by League of Women Voters (I am not affiliated). Web Link
This topic (thread) is intended to allow others to post QUESTIONS in the same style. I have the hope -- probably futile -- that the usual trolls won't overwhelm this with their usual rants.

Doug, why do you assume that they would/should want to change that approach - adding more jobs but less housing? My guess is that is what most people in Palo Alto support.

I have submitted similar questionnaires to council members in the past. Very few respond. Those that do usually provide terse, almost meaningless, answers.

Some quick clarifications -- the questions cover too many issues for this to become a discussion of them.
@Me To: It is not a question of jobs _or_ housing. State policy, as administered by ABAG, is for cities not to have such an imbalance. The current deficit would require high-density housing the size of Downtown North. The alternative is skyscrapers. When you are in a deep hole, the first thing to do is stop digging.
@Wayne Martin: Many of us "usual suspects" have asked these questions over the years to similar non-responses. The point of publishing these questions now is so that more typical residents can ask them in situations where the candidates' response are much more public.

Thanks Doug. I'm not an expert, but our city council isn't obliged to agree with or follow ABAG policy, right?

Some of these questions are extremely biased, and seemingly based on facts not in evidence. Take the following statement/question—
> 5.Council has routinely been accommodating to developers'
> desire for large profits. On Alma Plaza, the exemptions
> (zoning change) more than tripled the value of the land
> (based upon the purchase price and the contingent sale of
> roughly 80% of it a short time later).
The Council does not have access to this sort of information, from the kinds of records/documents that follow these projects through the process. And, in my opinion, neither should the City have access to information about project profit.
> What is the appropriate level of profits that the City
> should try to help developers achieve?
Asking a Council Member/Candidate about how much money the City should allow a developer to make implies a level of control that does not exist in current law. Moreover, the idea that the Council should be able to restrict the monetary rewards that a private citizen can receive for their work is pretty outrageous.
Even though I would like to see the Candidates answer more questions—I would not answer this question (if I were running)—other than I have. In my opinion, this is really not an appropriate question for a Council election.
If the argument is that PC Zoning should be terminated, then make that argument more robustly (such as in Q.7).

RE: Wayne Martin
1. "Council should be able to restrict the monetary rewards that a private citizen can receive for their work is pretty outrageous."
Mr Martin should re-read what I wrote. It is very clearly about the City Council overturning a major City policy (part of the Comp Plan) and giving the developer exemptions in order to _boost_ his profits.
2. On whether the Council should know what the financials were: It was the developer who repeatedly made this an issue, claiming that the project wouldn't work without major public subsidies (policy/zoning changes). As to the size of the profits cited, his purchase price was public record and the sales price was accurately estimated by a number of citizens simply using publicly available real estate numbers-"Comps"-just as appraisers do.
Mr Martin is advocating unlimited corporate welfare for the politically connected: That they can buy under one set of rules and sell under an entirely different set of rules tailored to give them huge profits (one Council member publicly cited the developer's connections in justifying her vote to overturn the existing policy). And he advocates that the validity of their demands for such welfare cannot even be checked by consulting public records. "Trust me, I am a corporation/partnership/..."

I read Doug Moran's list of questions for council candidates and I would encourage him to add the following:
Before the change to even-year elections there was enormous local interest in City Council and Schoolboard elections. Now there is nothing because political coverage naturally gravitates to Presidential and Congressional issues. I am writing this on September 15th, less than eight weeks before the election, and I have no idea who is running for Council or Schoolboard and I suspect that 99 percent of residents do not either.
Will the Council admit that the change has been an unmitigated disaster and return to odd-year elections?

The change in election year was proposed at a city council meeting by Liz Kniss. Speculation is that she wanted the change so she can run this year, when her county term ends.
She will support major development, as she did when she was on the council in the past.

Kniss has built up a lot of support over time, and especially business support. Her supporters list includes a Who's Who of major developers.

I am sure once Liz is elected she will have no problem going back to the old system. bTW, got a campaign mailer from her-full of pictures of her with the usual suspects. No mention of how she will address the city's problems. Also those questions will be considered a personal attack.in our vanilla election system, candidates or voters are not allowed to question candidates on the issues.

In response to David Leiberman
I doubt if the city council think that the meagre number of candidates is a bad thing. For any of those choosing to run, the fewer the number of opponents, the better. Last time round we had many good candidates to choose between and some of the good ones didn't make it (the same for school board). When we have less choice, it is likely that the more familiar names will get chosen regardless of their views.
I don't think asking this particular question to candidates will make a difference in getting a decent answer, or even if it will make a difference to whether or not someone will vote for them.

I have added a version of David Leiberman's question (with credit) to the list.
On whether a question is likely to elicit a meaningful answer: In many situations it is more useful for the politicians to hear what people are concerned about - by the questions they ask - than what the politicians say in response.

Council members and Planning commissioners (and planning staff of course) who deal in the real estate market have no trouble figuring out the profit made by developers. The land cost is public, cost of construction per square foot is known, rental and sales prices are commonly understood, etc., etc.
When developers give hundreds of thousands of dollars for studies of parking rather than construct the parking, you get a glimpse of the profit they make by not constructing parking.
The new proposal for 395 Page Mill offers a benefit of constructing a police building and more. Can you imagine the profit that permits such largess? (or bribe, as some have called it).

A public TAXPAYER should be able to ask ANY QUESTION, because the TAXPAYER is the one ultimately paying the bill. The TAXPAYER also has the right to get rid of ANYONE who does not do the job with complete accountability.
In Jefferson County, the graft involving the county commissioners was so bad that they had the Zoning Administration ( also in on the graft ) allowed a developer to build on a site previously declared unsound by earlier geological studies.
After the site was developed, it was not long when the homeowners started complaining that the basements were caving in. The houses were built on BENTONITE ( aka KITTY LITTER ) and as the soil go wet, it swelled up and foundations shifted. A rather nasty fingerpoint and blame war began and the developer had to by back some houses...
Most of these people are OUT and do not feed at the public trough anymore.
Breaking basic laws and justifying pandering to developers breaks the trust to the people; If you can't ( or won't ) answer to the TAXPAYER, you shouldn't be in public office in the first place.

Impolite questions are good, maybe in some cases they are questions that needed to be asked. On building housing maybe the city should buy land, plan and build homes for people. Control growth of businesses, jobs and wealth. You what kind of system they call this. Don't let developers run the show but remember.someone has to build homes for YOU or your kids.

Do we want policy makers who hold fast to ideas that don't work, or policy makers that are able to adapt to the often complex challenges that come with governing in 21st century municipal America?
Second, and most importantly, this list suggests *nothing* that would deal with the STRUCTURAL inefficiencies of Palo Alto's governance model.
Let's look at this governance model. Palo Alto, like so many other municipalities in post-WWII America, deploys a "strong city manager" model of governance. In other words, policy making is performed by the City Council members, and policy implementation is performed by the acting city manager, who administers the bureaucracy a,d works at the pleasure of the City Council, who vet and appoint the City Manager.
What kind of government does this result in?
1) In Palo Alto's case (9 City Council members) the City Manager (CM) becomes a "10th politician". The CM has to find ways to implement policy (no matter how unrealistic it may be, given current, or projected resources), and at the same time the CM has to be keenly aware of shifting political realities in order to KEEP HIS JOB!!
2) City Council members, because they elect the CM, are put in a position of taking hard criticism is the CM is not working out. After all, it was their judgment to hire this person, so if s/he does a bad job, any criticism of the CM is strong indirect criticism of their vote to appoint the CM. So, for both the City Council and CM there is a BUILT-IN conflict of interest, as regards transparency, and optimal operating efficiency. Everyone is always pussyfooting around this issue.
3) Council members are elected in an every-two-year cycle, with majority alliances shifting because many of the City Council members rotate out every two years. Remember, it takes a 5-person majority for any one City Council member to keep her campaign promises, so how does ANY ONE member offer up campaign promises that mean anything at all? One has to practically guarantee that 4 other members agree with one's campaign promises, and even if that's possible, one has to guarantee that the members who agree with one's position will not be voted out in the every-other-year election cycle.
Rather than go on about this, one sees a major flaw in the above governance model, where City Council members shift in and out of office; where the City Manager has to be a a deft politician to keep his job; where campaign promises are almost folly, because any one City Council member is powerless to implement change (or stability) without a majority vote that is always threatened by the every-other-year election cycle that may deprive any one City Council member of one's majority.
In a nutshell, with the current governance model (strong City Manager) the possibility of optimal political accountability is left wheezing in a deathbed. Nobody is really in charge. Responsibility id deferred to the CM, or the the CM's underlings, or the this or that City Council member who supported this or that policy; or, to the sad fact that a policy once supported is no longer supported because the people who were in place to support it have been voted out in a 2 year election cycle; ad nauseum. IN PA's governance model, the buck never stops; it simply floats around, like a butterfly, just out of reach.
How do you change that? ELECT a mayor, and reduce the size of City Council. Add to that a general election every four years that puts all City Council members up for re-election. Mo more every-other-year elections. What is the benefit of the foregoing? ACOUNTABILITY! In this system, the buck can stop atthe desk of the Mayor, who would have just enough separation of power to hire or fire a City Manager; who would have just enough separation of power to suggest and drive legislation; who would have enough authority to suggest and initiate innovative projects that are in his/her platform, so that s/he can be held accountable for the success or failure of those projects/initiatives at the end of his/her four or six-year term. Our Mayor would not have a separation of power that makes her like Richard Daley, but just enough separation to be able to set and drive a political and policy agenda.
Of course, most of the City Council "watchers", Doug Moran among them, would object to this, because it would put into jeopardy their seemingly obsessive desire to meddle in fine detail with literally every major policy initiative put forward by our City Council, or City Manager.
An "elected executive" model of governance would also put the citizens of Palo Alto in more control of outcomes, because there would be a far more transparent line of responsibility put in place for success or failure - something that is almost impossible to discern at this point. Witness almost any issue in Palo Alto. Where does the buck stop? Nobody really knows. As a result, inefficiencies continue; various politicos get elected and sometimes re-elected just because "they were there", and little else, and so on.
Also, with due respect to our past mayors, this would end the ridiculous practice of "appointing" a mayor for a one-year term. In the current system, this appointment is little more than a ribbon-cutting appointment, and a popularity contest. Our past Mayors have all been good people, but Mayors in name only, without any real power to drive policy. What a shame, because some of them have been very well equipped to formulate and govern in very innovative ways.
So, shrink City Council to 5 member, elected every four-six years. Elect a Mayor, ideally to a 4-6 year term.
All that said, I doubt that this will ever come to be. Palo Alto's political scene is very "insiderish". THis is pretty much the norm for most municipalities. Also, Palo Alto is in the fortunate position of being joined at the hip to Stanford University, which is by default the primary driver of Palo Alto's status, and various citizen benefits (even though many of our policy makers like to play "tough guy" with the hand that feeds them).
Caveat: even the above suggestion will not end the most vexing political problems; Palo Alto and it's municipal brethren face a very challenging future, with Palo Alto in way better shape than most, because of its proximity to Stanford. What we need in City government these days is an increased ability to ADAPT, because time are changing at an increased rate of speed. "Change" also implies change in the very structures of governance that have led to the policy impasse that the "Palo Alto Process" has become. Will we opt real change, or continue to "play house" with the current system of non-accountability and slow-as-molasses process. Either way, Palo Alo citizens, in their collective diversity, will probably always be comfortable. The question remains: does comfort equate to increased community optimization?; to community adaption to change?; to real accountability, and so on.
On a final note, the system that I have proposed cold also result in little immediate change, because many of the "insiders" who control PA's political scene might end up as players in a changed system, but even so, they would be, for the first time in PA's history, truly ACCOUNTABLE for their policy positions, and results/non-results. Also, as an added benefit, the the entire edifice of "Council Watch Dogs", as represented by Doug Moran and a few dozen others, would be enhanced in the way that they could continue to create lists and complain about every little thing. On the other hand, they would not be able to paralyze policy with obsessive minutiae and hand-wringing. That's a good thing.

To understand the scurrilous and cowardly nature of "Accountability"'s attack on me, one needs only consider his disingenuous phrasings. For example, his evidence for my "seemingly obsessive desire to meddle in fine detail with literally every major policy initiative put forward by our City Council, or City Manager" is that "in my recollection has never supported a single housing or infrastructure development, as proposed". Notice that he (falsely) equates failure-to-support with "oppose" so that when it is pointed out that I take no position on the vast majority of such projects, he does not meet TSF's highly constrained criteria for being branded a liar.

Why is it that in Palo Alto it is considered impolite to ask elected officials questions that get to the heart of important matters that greatly effect our community?
Are we only polite if we stick to meaningless empty banter? Do we really believe that elected officials should not be asked substantive questions? Is this so called politeness really just a technique used by those in power to disenfranchise those who would like government to be transparent and accountable for its actions?
If our local government is not serving us well, voters have the responsibility to challenge authority and to bring about needed change.
Thank you Doug for bringing reality into this council election. Your questions may make the politicians uncomfortable, but only if they are not being forthcoming and honest.

Accountability: Apart from an unjustified attack on Doug Moran, you've definitely nailed the problems in Palo Alto. IF the citizens of Palo Alto had control of what's happening in the city, Doug and others wouldn't have to object (not meddle) to so many policies and actions.
Although you say the system is broken, you label those who criticize council members or city staff as obsessive list-creators, complainers and hand-wringers.
I agree with your recommendations on how to fix the structure, but "watchers" will always be necessary at all levels of government, regardless of how it is organized.
Will you be starting a petition to change the city charter? Someone should do it, though it won't be easy.

On reducing Council size and having an elected mayor:
I no longer include this because my experience is that it is a futile battle at this time and it is better to concentrate on changes that have a chance of being achieved.
The last major push for Council reduction occurred in 2005 and I was one of the leaders. Some of the arguments are available at Web Link including some of the documents from the previous push in 1994. In 2005, we thought we had enthusiastic support from Vice Mayor Judy Kleinberg and former mayor Gary Fazzino, but it suddenly disappeared without explanation and without big name backers, it wouldn't get the press coverage and endorsements needed to pass.

Thank you for this alert, I'm sorry I missed it
Please try again.
The time is now, to change the City charter and for residents to decide what kind of city Palo Alto wants to be. Most of the impolite questions are about city officials working the system to favor developers, who do not place the interests of the community as a priority.
Somebody posted above - "Nobody is really in charge" Also, nobody is on our side.
The City is pushing density near transit, and both bring nothing but trouble for Palo Alto. Most of these commercial projects do not even bring any money to the city (prop 13), and certainly not enough to offset the costs.
Stack up the benefits given to developers, against the costs to the city, and it will be startling to people.
I admit I paid little attention to city politics - did not even read your thread back in September when you posted it originally. But the Arrillga project is so stupid, I tuned in. I tuned in, wondering how a city can accept even hearing such a stupid plan, much less proposing it! I've learned a few things, there are no good answers - all your impolite questions point to the dysfunction.
It's not 2005, and you don't need big name backers or press coverage. Changing a system would either way never have big name backers or press coverage. This needs to work without big name backers, and there are enough ways to get press coverage. For example, how about a contest.
Let's have a contest for who can figure out city finances and describe it in one page.
A contest for who can weigh the benefits of density, how it changes the bottom line for Palo Alto, and if the costs are worth it.
A contest to figure out a way to change city governance system.
I have another impolite question - Amidst the push for more density, why is the city starting to reduce police salaries instead of their own bloat.?
Palo Alto crime is increasing, it is directly correlated to density.
Don't miss out on the discussion!

DOE scientists at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory found that tropical cyclones intensify considerably when passing over ocean regions with a barrier layer.
Understanding the environmental factors that influence a cyclone's path and intensity improves our ability to forecast tropical cyclones and to mitigate their destructive potential.
A barrier layer in ocean environments, or Mixed Layer Depth, is defined as the depth where the density increases from the surface value due to a prescribed temperature decrease of some value (e.g., 0.2°C) from the surface value while maintaining constant surface salinity value. Using a combination of observations and model simulations, the team demonstrated that barrier layers, formed through high fresh water input reducing the salinity in the upper tropical oceans, significantly increase the intensity of tropical cyclones. When tropical cyclones pass over these regions, the increased stratification and stability within the layer reduce storm-induced vertical mixing and sea surface temperature cooling. Their findings underscore the importance of observing salinity structure in deep tropical barrier layer regions. As the hydrological cycle responds to global warming, any associated changes in the barrier layer distribution must be considered in projecting future tropical cyclone activity.

Deeplinks Blog posts about EFF Europe
The first round of talks in what the U.S. and EU trade representatives intend to be the largest bilateral trade agreement ever have begun. The governments call it TTIP, the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP). Everyone else calls it TAFTA, the Trans-Atlantic Free Trade Agreement. Whatever the name, it will regulate all U.S. and EU trade, or around 30 percent of world trade in goods. And according to the first leaks of negotiation documents, it threatens to be yet another trojan horse for copyright and internet issues.
The first round of negotiations over a new trade agreement between the U.S. and the European Union are scheduled to start next week, but it may be doomed before it even begins. EU officials are demanding answers and threatening to call off the negotiations in light of the latest NSA revelations released this week showing how the US has been involved in extensive spying on EU diplomats. The diminishing trust between the two allies could have a knock-on effect on global copyright regulation, and stiffen Europe's resolve to better protect its own citizens' online privacy.
We submitted the following comment to the US Trade Rep today regarding the proposed United States-European Union trade agreement.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) is a digital civil liberties organization that has defended technology users' rights for over 23 years. We primarily take the fight to court, but also engage in global advocacy campaigns and direct public action towards lawmakers to ensure digital policies uphold the public interest. We have over 18,000 active paying members worldwide.
The EFF submits this document in response to the United States Trade Representative's solicitation for comment listed in the Federal Registry on April 1, 2013, regarding the coming negotiations over the US-EU trade agreement, now called the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP).
Last month, U.S. President Barack Obama announced the launch of a new trade deal between the United States and the European Union. This transatlantic free trade agreement (TAFTA)—or what government leaders are touting as the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP)—is likely to carry copyright provisions that would pose a serious threat to digital rights. Past and currently negotiated trade agreements have enacted rules that would force ISPs to turn into copyright police, place harsh and disproportionate criminal penalties on file sharers, and seriously impair users' ability to innovate and access content on the Internet.
Expanding copyright to allow rent seeking for linking would break the fabric of the Internet. Links and citations to articles do not infringe copyright, as links do not copy, distribute, or perform any copyrighted work. Despite some desperate assertions of the contrary, copyright protection of links is not enshrined in law. Newspapers, however, are pushing for legislation to support this dangerous claim, regardless of the implications it would have for free speech.

A writers guild
Many of us have images in our minds and knowledge in our heads that's enjoyable and even entertaining to others. Some of us are fortunate enough to have cultivated this in an environment that provided gentle feedback, reinforcement, and ever-important constructive criticism. It's my belief that the very best place to do this is the web.
It's dynamic, textual, available, and provides a great place to grow. Even better if we are in a forum of friends. As we have seen Terry and Al and others sculpt flies with the 'ki' of their fly-fishing brethren in their fingers, we could see those with the interest cultivate a working writing style that could get them published in big magazines or get them free gear.
Yes, I said free gear. Pro-writers who can show demonstrated works get free gear from manufacturers. I can sponsor and provide referrals for those who are interested. If you should decide to sell the rights for an article to a magazine, your articles on this forum can be used as reference works for others to see what you can do. Heck, the free gear is good enough for the likes of me.
That's where the guild comes in. The guild is a group of enthusiasts with the unified intent to improve each other's writing skills. We will propose, review, publish and prosper. Comments will be anonymous or not; edits can be accepted or rejected by the author at will. As a member of the guild publishes a story successfully on a national magazine, we can all celebrate the victory for the guild member - we all had a hand in it.
Somewhere in there is money. For a good author, I should be able to get a shop, a guide, or a brand to sponsor an article. A small percentage of the proceeds would go into a guild fund which would apply toward a percentage of the cost of carrying the forum and to pay for giveaway rods, reels, trips, who knows to award guild members. The rest goes into the authors pocket, to go play with the free gear.
Of course the author could do this all on his/her own. But if they could, they probably already are. I would think there is a benefit to doing it with a forum of friends where there is a media server to aid in the cultivation of skill and the credibility to show prospective buyers of the work.
Well, thats all I care to say about that right here, please contact me if you have interest in forming such a guild. There will be a private hidden discussion group formed if there is enough interest.

Roadrunners lose a heartbreaker, 5-4
SAN ANTONIO — No. 4 seed UTSA (35-24) will look to stave off elimination at this weekend's NCAA Tournament Corvallis Regional when it faces second-seeded Texas A&M (32-28) on Saturday.
First pitch is scheduled for 2 p.m. (CT) at Goss Stadium and the game can be seen live on ESPN3 and fans in the San Antonio area can listen to the action on Ticket 760 AM and Ticket760.com.
The Roadrunners saw their seven-game winning streak come to an end in Friday's 5-4 loss to top seed Oregon State. UTSA took a 4-3 lead into the ninth before the Beavers rallied for their 46th victory of the season.
Meanwhile, the Aggies dropped a 6-4 decision to No. 3 seed UC Santa Barbara in the regional opener.
The two teams met back on April 2 in College Station with then-No. 18 Texas A&M improving its all-time record against UTSA to 21-9 with an 11-4 come-from-behind triumph.

By Ben Levisohn
As if nearly quadrupling in one day wasn't enough, Intercept Pharmaceuticals (ICPT) is surging once again.
Yesterday, Intercept Pharmaceuticals gained 281% after it announced that one of its drug studies had reached its primary endpoint early. That in and of itself doesn't happen very often, and would have been good for a big boost regardless. But what sent Intercept's shares into the stratosphere was the drug it was testing for–a treatment for a liver disease for which there is no drug available.
Citigroup's Jonathan Eckard and Yaron Werber explain why the study was such a big deal:
It is estimated ~10-15% of the US population has some level of early stages of NASH (inflammation and fibrosis of the liver) and ~6M (in the US alone) of these have a more advanced form of NASH preceding liver cirrhosis. NASH is becoming recognized as a leading cause of liver transplants in the western world. There are no approved drugs for treatment, and OCA is the first agent to show a benefit here and is now positioned to establish itself as the standard of care. Also liver fibrosis has long been a target for large pharma/biotech and the scarcity of other drugs makes [Intercept Pharmaceuticals] an attractive acquisition target…
We are buyers of [Intercept Pharmaceuticals], and see value left on the table despite yesterday's ~300% gain on positive NASH…data for lead agent obeticholic acid (OCA). In our view [Intercept Pharmaceuticals'] ~$5.4bn mkt cap doesn't reflect the multi-billion dollar NASH opportunity. A "back of the envelope" valuation applying a common biotech of 4x sales multiple projects <$1.5bn in OCA sales. We believe this meaningfully underestimates the drug's potential that we expect could top >$5bn/yr.
As a result, Eckard and Weeber upped their price target for Intercept Pharmaceuticals to $400, up from $60. That, however, is nothing compared to the change at Merrill Lynch, where analysts increased their price target to $872 from $81, according to Briefing.com. Janney's Jim Molloy put's fair value at $300.
Intercept Pharmaceuticals has gained 56% to $430.51 today. And, as if that weren't enough, Conatus Pharmaceuticals (CNAT), which is also developing treatments for liver disease, has gained 40% to $13.70 on Intercept's news, while Galectin Therapeutics (GALT)–which, yes, is also working on a treatment for NASH–has gained 15.3% to $15.51.

Anyway.. studio tour was a blast! We got to see the ER set, the Friends set, watched them film a bit of a new upcoming tv show called the Sarah Connor Chronicles (tells the story of Sarah and John Connor in the time frame between Terminator 2 and Terminator 3).
Americans are so afraid of being sued.. by anyone! All the souvenirs that you can purchase have a label on them warning people that they have maybe been made out of material that is known to cause cancer or birth defects. It's actually on our hotel building entrance as well.. don't go there.
After that tour, we went to Universal Studios - the minute you walk in the gate, you are bombarded with noise/music/light. The tour itself wasn't as exciting as the Warner Bros one - but it was more geared towards tourists, so it was fun. You got wet when Jaws springs up at you, we saw the remnants of a set from War of the Worlds with a full size airplane wreck, and we drove past Wisteria Lane of Desperate Housewives where they were filming, so we didn't actually get to go in. Went to see some of the shows, the best one was probably the Terminator one, but we are going back tomorrow because we didn't get to see them all.
Oh.. and we bought candy.. the ones we've heard of but never tried - milk duds are yum :) Caramel covered with milk chocolate. And I finally found out what a Pez is!

- — Albus Dumbledore and Harry Potter discussing ways of getting Horace Slughorn to give them the true memory[src]
An antidote to Veritaserum exists to counteract the effects of the said truth serum. Horace Slughorn was said to have kept one with him during the 1996–1997 school year, ever since Albus Dumbledore tried to persuade him to divulge a memory that Slughorn was too ashamed to give.

Has it really been over 21 months since I last posted to recentlog? I've been more active with my account at G+.
I'll crosspost something I wrote there: a recommendation for cabal-dev as a way of making Haskell package management sane:
Cabal is a package manager that by default compiles packages either to a system database (if invoked as root/admin) or a per-user database. Since Haskell code is very often fussy about exact version numbers, and because Cabal offers essentially no way to uninstall packages, this is very painful. cabal-dev is a front-end to Cabal that gives you per-directory repositories: suddenly conflicts go away, and you can remove packages by deleting the directory's repository and reinstalling everything again. It's a kludge, but it is very helpful.

"One of the most precious values of the national parks is their ability to teach us about ourselves and how we relate to the natural world. This important role may prove invaluable in the near future as we strive to understand and adapt to a changing climate."
– NPS Director Jon Jarvis
This website serves as a resource to provide all teachers with the tools necessary to be successful in delivering national park centric climate change lessons.
The foundation of the Parks Climate Challenge program is the ability of national parks to educate and inspire us as stewards of these protected lands. The program's goal is to educate students about climate change using national parks as classrooms. By teaching about climate change with a hands-on, science-based field curriculum, students will be able to answer the questions what is climate change, and what are the causes of global warming? After a successful inaugural year in 2009 directly engaging students from five cities around the country, the National Park Foundation will reach more than 15,000 youth around the country at the end of the program's third year by educating and inspiring teachers first.Each summer, national parks and their education partners hold nationally relevant and replicable teacher trainings. These "in-person" trainings provide teachers with the tools they need to teach climate change and global warming causes through national parks. With the global warming facts the students learn, they will be able to develop service projects connecting climate change and national parks.
During the summer of 2009, students from five cities across the country came together to learn about climate change through national parks. Their experience is detailed in the video above, and is the inspiration for the teacher trainings and resources provided by the Parks Climate Challenge program. The second and third parts of their experience can be found here and here.

these are great! i wear shoe size 8.5/9, and ordered both a size M and size L. i liked the L a lot better - and i was able to fold them over a little at the top. i wore these in a 15k run, and they stayed up the entire time without being too tight. and my feet were still happy at the end of the run.

C. PARHAM (Washington) on April 11, 2010
The best soccer socks by far! These are tube socks so they last much longer than socks with heels. What I like most about them is that they are long enough to wear under the shin guards & then fold over them to completely cover the shin guards. That is how my son wears them & he never has a problem with shin guards slipping down.

I'll buy more soccer socks from you when I need them.

Good socks to be included in the kit players that wore them never complained and the epic rep was great in explaining sizing
A. GIRVEN (Pennsylvania) on May 26, 2015
These soccer socks are perfect for my 4 year old. Finding black socks, that were separate from the shin guards, was very difficult, and we were getting frustrated and were thrilled to find that Epic had them, and very reasonably priced. Ordered an extra pair, just to have on hand, since finding them was so difficult.
M. DOUCET (New Brunswick) on April 14, 2015
Nice socks but a bit problematic in regards to the sizes recommended in the ladies' categories. The medium are too small for average ladies but the large are too long.
C. WYMAN (Maine) on October 17, 2014
great thickness on the feet. upper parts are a bit thin for the cooler temps of the northeast regions that are playing in below 40 degree weather. Will buy more though.

Too loose

I was very happy with this product and with the service I received. I had read a lot of poor reviews about the website so it felt like a risk ordering 3 seasons worth of uniforms off Epic but they came in time, were as specified and were a good fit. I guess people make a point of complaining if they're angry but not feeding back if they receive a good service...

good for cotton. would like nylon better
K. CRYDERMAN (Virginia) on April 18, 2013
Good color, good fit.
J. DOMOE (Ohio) on April 15, 2013
These match the Hi-Five jerseys in color. We use the Arsenal jersey and I got socks for all my teams (including those wearing raspberry and lime green) that look great. They are soft and comfortable for our kids. Pay attention to size. Most of my 4-8 year old swear smalls, but someof the girls are a little taller/bigger and htey wear mediums. My U8-U12s mostly wear mediums with some larges. I am 6'2' and 240lbs and I can wear the large.
K. FLYNN (Maryland) on March 18, 2013
Great socks for the money
M. WELKER (Ohio) on September 12, 2012
Good value.
G. ROMERO (Virginia) on August 27, 2012
Good quality product.
R. DOWNEY (California) on April 19, 2012
These seem like good socks (and the price was amazing!), but for me they were too thick to wear with my soccer shoes. Next time I will go with a thinner sock like the Adidas Copa Zone even though it's much more expensive.
W. BROWN (New York) on January 6, 2012
great for the price, buy 2 pairs per player
A. IBRIC (New York) on December 24, 2011
Nice socks. They go all the way up the knee. They are a little tight. They aren't so durable. After a few uses the toe area gets some holes.
K. WILLOVER (Florida) on October 28, 2011
Sizes run just a little bigger (in foot area) than expected, but really well made, nice and thick. Very bright :o)
L. GIANNELLI (California) on October 18, 2011
Perfect for those who don't want to wear shinguards under socks - they're long enough to put under and pull over. Would like a little thinner (finer) knit. Otherwise, good product, fair price and VERY fast delivery.
J. KEOUGH (Massachusetts) on October 6, 2011
Great soccer sock. Listen to High 5 recomendation - most (should be All)Adult Men & Women wear large. The mediums were to small for my size 8 foot.
Y. HERNANDEZ (California) on August 31, 2011
Nice and strong. :)
T. RICHARDS (Pennsylvania) on August 29, 2011
Bought them big in size, glad I did. Pricey shipping but prompt. Overall satisfied with the socks!
K. WINTERTON (Wisconsin) on April 26, 2011
The socks seem to be working out good for my kids in soccer.
C. SHARP (Utah) on April 18, 2011
Pretty good socks. We needed just a couple of pairs for uniform add-ons, and didn't want to spring for the 12-pair RMP on the nicer socks. These work fine.
Y. EREL (Florida) on March 9, 2011
worth the money

Lasted great through the season, cool bright orange color too!
W. LITTLE LEAGUE (Iowa) on April 23, 2017
Similar to other soccer sox. Have a lot of stretch. Not a tight weave. Run long. That could be positive or negative, depending on your kid. Would buy again.
Z. FIELD (Missouri) on August 31, 2016
Sock are thin
C. PRAUNER (Nebraska) on May 4, 2015
Color is great and size is perfect. They wash well.
S. VENTER (California) on September 15, 2011
The socks is are good but the sizes are very small. It says small for men but it is actually small for boys. The medium is small for men.
R. VOGIE (Indiana) on March 2, 2011
Needed Raspberry color socks for softball team and this is only place I could find them. However, these are soccer socks designed to go over shin guards so the run LARGE. I had to reorder medium for my 14U team.
B. LEDFORD (Nevada) on January 27, 2011
