I'll spell it out for you David, you want it to fail. That way it will fit nicely into your worldRead More view. Just like you want public schools to fail. In the meantime, many committed, intelligent, dedicated people are working very hard to address real problems.

I don't want it to fail, but it shall, for the reasons I've laid out. Just like the public schools.Read More Indeed, as pointed out numerous times, there are ways for the public schools to be successful. These avenues to success are either actively thwarted by committed, dedicated people (like teachers' unions) or actively ignored (by those, like you, who feel that you can still "fix" a system that is structured incorrectly from top to bottom).

Also, you're addressing a "problem" with this housing project that *does not exist* as IRead More have pointed out repeatedly with real data--there is ample "affordable housing" in SL, and there is even more in directly adjacent (even on mass transit routes) areas like Hayward and Oakland. Typically when "fixing" a non-existent problem, you end up converting whatever fictional problem you're addressing into a real problem of a different variety. This is amply reviewed by the maxim: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." In the meantime, other people are working very hard to address *real* problems indeed, not those of their fevered imaginations.

What brand is the pastry cutter?
Rowena Peñalba June 18, 2013 at 11:27 pm
It's slightly used but I don't remember where I bought it from. I don't see any brand name on it. IRead More just priced it based on the lowest one available on Amazon. If you're interested, make me an offer. Maybe we can agree on it. Thanks for your inquiry.

I'm not a very regular viewer. Could you be a bit more specific about what changed recently (plusesRead More and minuses)? Thanks.

Leah, do you have the authorization from Disney for the use of the copyrighted Dumbo character youRead More use for your blog? I thought that the policy of Patch was to deny access to non-authorized materials such as this.
Leah Hall June 2, 2013 at 08:12 pm
Nope.
