Right about now we could use one of EGS' famous Oh, SNAP! pictures.
So… this is a second wave of attacks by the angels? Geez they are really determined.
They Did say there was a safe spot of a blip X amount underground….
Okay, so by the looks of it that stone is by no means a danger to any cartoon character. It's way too small for that.
On the other hand, it's easily heavy enough to bash someone's skull in given real physics and biology (and if it has enough momentum, for example by dropping from a high enough place, which this one might not have).
So what's it gonna be? Tune in next time!
Looks more like a bar of soap to me.
Dammit, we have to wait for Thursday!
For an instant I thought Larisa was the one who got conked.
That might qualify as a "happy ending" — considering her grim medical prognosis and the cushy position awaiting her in the Afterlife.
Then I saw the striped sleeves.
My guess is that, now that Sandra's not in a position to see her talking to apparently empty air, Larisa directly confronts God, the Cherubim, or the Devil and gives 'em a piece of her mind.
Whelp. Mission failed. GG. Let's go home everybody.
No, the entire place was safe, except for one little dot underground. If you go back, they say the entire map is green.
But green was 'bad'. The Devil owns red on the map! It messed with me too.
I'm guessing that Sandra is knocked out now.
The artwork going back to normal was like a slap in the face, in a good way.
They do deserve the support. New handle and a border around me soon!
The angels are the "good forces," typically, and as such their areas on the map(which are bad in this instance) are green. The tiny red dot was the only place where Sandra would be safe without outside influence, and the only place Lucifer – the "bad forces" typically – had on the map at the time.
I'm guessing Larisa is critically injured from the wall collapse. Hopefully Sandra won't have to say goodbye to Larisa in the next several pages.
Where did you get it, if you don't mind me asking?
It's commissioned art of Woo (and Shadow) by nik159. The artist didn't post it, so there's no public way to view it right now.
so I'm sorry that I say it, but it's quite boring now.
I mean… one killer machine is destroyed, what's next?
Killer machine No. 2? And then No. 3?
Geez, sorry man, but it is not "Divine comedy" yet.
Give us a point of that story, please.
Assuming that Sandra lives, what is a hit like that going to cost her? Losing the metaphorical piano lessons? Will she get a -1 to the right side of the brain: creativity? Gaining a delusion? Will she see a Cylon? Will she think she's receiving messages from the racoon god?
Thanks for replying! The art style seemed familiar, he is an excellent artist.
That's misleading. You'll get two pages sooner, then you wait just like everyone else. So what that you're two pages ahead, the important one is pace, not the actual position.
so I'm sorry that I say it, but it's quite boring now. (..) Give us a point of that story, please.
Some people just can't appreciate what they have for free (for most of us).
Authors own these comics and do as they please. And I, for one, like this plot. Yes, we're still at the "fighting crazy AI-controlled construction machines" phase (Musk with a handgun was funny), but the first part (w/ the Devil) was fantastic, and future one most likely will be also. The point we are at is needed to tell a story, so sit back, relax, and have fun on your ride.
Great. How are you suppose to heal the head injury with A Slice of Pizza and two rounds of Rocket Launcher ammunition.
the end? Sandra dies from brain caved in?
OR will they find a way out of this?
The rock skipped off with "ouch" stars and no blood spatter so I'm inclined to say that she's probably stunned, not dead at this time.
Of course a stunned target is a little easier to make dead. Larisa will have to carry her if they want to move at that point, Digger and Bulldozer are down of the Killer Tesla Construction Equipment, but we don't know how many more are up. At least one, clearly.
Sandra dies! Larisa then takes her contract to the devil and forces him to bring her back to life and let her out of her soul swap. Or better, Larisa gets devil to show her God's (or angels') contract and finds a flaw there that bring Sandra back, etc.
There's holy water for demons, wolfbane and silver bullets for werewolves, crosses and wooden stakes for vampires … What do you use when you want to zap an angel? Pizza???
Well he was talking about this particular arc and this particular cliff hanger… i did say that in a long run you don't win much, but in this particular case Novil and Powree actually released 3 pages on the same day and released officially only 1, so it does increase pace sometimes.
Oh don't you dare "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy text game brick to the head no matter what you do" me.
If Sandra is clinically dead but is revived, technically the angels will have accomplished their mission.
As I'm sure you'll agree, Larissa can do both quite well.
Hmmm, by the way it bounced, it has to be a very light peace of cast, not concrete.
Well, angels I would think use fire quite a bit as a weapon, and have a resistance to it because of that. I would say that angels have little physical weakness but, in pokemon terms, are weak against ghost and psychic attacks. Angels in this comic seem a bit like they're supposed to be somethibg like worker bees and could be expanded to have a "hive mind". Disrupting the angels' connection to it by making ghose and psychic attacks may disrupt their ability to respond to further attacks. Maybe have the Devil's hackers disrupt a key angel and make it hesitate, allowing Sabdra to escape to the safe zone?


The Washington Post 's May 2 editorial, "A Plea Deal in Florida: In which Sami al-Arian is shown to be a liar, and the Justice Department is shown to be inept," deserves not only praise but wider notice. In five paragraphs it accurately and informatively comments on an important terrorism case, one that lasted for years.
Although Sami al-Arian, a former professor at the University of South Florida, was acquitted last year on eight of 17 terrorism-related charges, he was sentenced on May 1 to another year and a-half in prison (the maximum allowed, in addition to more than three already served). According to his plea agreement with federal prosecutors, al-Arian admitted, among other things, to being associated with Palestinian Islamic Jihad; knowing that his co-worker at a university-affiliated think tank, Ramadan Abdullah Shallah, was associated with Islamic Jihad; and assisted members of the terrorist group after the U.S. government prohibited support for it in 1995. Al-Arian also agreed to deportation at the end of his imprisonment.
The editorial did not spare the Justice Department, either.
Yet despite what the judge called 'clear' evidence, the government has settled this case on terms under which Mr. al-Arian will go free in less than two years.
The al-Arian case shed light on an important covert Arab terrorist network in the U.S. directly supporting Palestinian terrorism against Israel. At times during the investigation, administrators at the University of South Florida and others in the Tampa Bay area and beyond refused to believe that the person they knew as faculty member and family man could be a terrorist leader and, in the judge's words, a "master manipulator." The editorial performed an important service, reminding readers of the deceptive, international nature of Islamic terrorism. And it did so in direct English — the words "militant" or "activist" as euphemisms for terrorist did not appear.
The one thing the editorial did not specify was the victims of the Islamic Jihad attacks supported by al-Arian were Israelis.


I feel like there have been too many times over recent months when planning Sunday worship involves careful consideration of how to address difficult world events. Again today.
Other than avoiding 'It Is Well' (look up the last lines!), that mainly took the form of affirming our allegiance to Christ as Lord rather than any nation or political system. (Not a bad thing for the Christian community to do on any given Sunday!) I went for a strong opening run of songs focussing on Christ as King, with a minor theme of his care for us in troubled times.
Tim preached on the Damascus Road, and not making assumptions about who God can or can't use. That challenge felt very pertinent to our times, but I focussed the response on the possibility of personal and corporate transformation by the grace of God. Many spoken contributions in response again.

NEWS ALERT: Armed robbers shoot at witness after Mountain View jewelry store heist
Council OKs San Antonio center project; Milk Pail market saved
No housing included, tenant LinkedIn wouldn't be allowed to have an employee-only cafe

The City Council unanimously approved the second phase of the redevelopment of San Antonio shopping Center Tuesday night, and along with it, a new deal to save the city's popular Milk Pail Market.
"I have been worrying about the survival of the Milk Pail for over three years now," Milk Pail owner Steve Rasmussen told the council. "I'm very grateful for the support the community has shown to the Milk Pail."
In order to meet city parking requirements and stay open, Rasmussen will lease 31 parking spaces on an adjacent property from project developer Merlone Geier. It is now home to a taqueria and a sushi restaurant, and one or both would presumably be torn down to make way for the new Milk Pail parking lot, Rasmussen said. The Milk Pail had needed 11 more spaces to comply with city requirements.
The deal "pretty much resolves the dilemma of not knowing what our future was going to be," Rasmussen said of the agreement before the meeting.
The large redevelopment that was approved Tuesday night was much the same as one presented to the council several times this year. It will replace the Ross, BevMo! and several smaller buildings near the corner of California Street and San Antonio Road, including the site of the "birthplace of Silicon Valley," the former Shockley lab at 391 San Antonio Road. The project includes a 50,000-square-foot movie theater, 167-room hotel and a parking garage with over 1,300 spaces. It also plans for restaurants and shops around a courtyard with a monument to the silicon molecule, and office space likely to leased by LinkedIn, with space for about 2,000 employees.
The office tenant won't be allowed to have its own cafe in order to ensure that workers make use of the restaurants in the development -- a requirement said to be a first for the Valley.
Council members decided against an alternative project that included housing, despite calls for it from many residents earlier this year. Mayor Chris Clark said it would have meant the loss of the hotel and more than $1.5 million a year in hotel tax revenue.
After some last-minute haggling for an additional $2 million in funds, the project includes $9.4 million in funds for public benefits, including buffered bike lanes on San Antonio Road and California Street.
As for the Milk Pail, Rasmussen called the parking agreement "long-term" as well as "fair" and "definitely acceptable." He said it allows him to continue to keep his prices from rising with the cost of real estate. He would not to divulge details on how much he would have to pay per parking space or how long he would have rights to the parking.
In July, a similar deal fell through when the City Council did not approve the project as presented by Merlone Geier. It would have allowed Milk Pail customers to use a parking garage under an office building proposed to be built behind the market.

MilkPail and Traffic Mess

MilkPail and Traffic Mess, another community
MV residents should be very happy now -- they
have Milk Pail. Who cares about the traffic mess.
Milk Pail will solve everything including the
traffic mess!!!
The Milk Pail WAS a very clever distraction.
A nice carrot dangled in front of the city
council and unsuspecting residents of MV ---
to get support for out-of-proportion,
traffic-mess-creating Phase II San Antonio Center.
The elephant in the room is the congested
elephant-speed traffic on San Antonio Road.
The real problem regarding San Antonio Phase II
is the massive plan for constructing high-density
offices, hotel, cinema, parking garage for 2000 cars, etc.
If you use San Antonio Road on a regular basis,
you know that it is already CONGESTED especially from
El Camino intersection going North towards 101.
Citizens of MV appear to be concerned with Milk Pail
and ignoring the massive phase II construction that
will cause miserable traffic congestion.
Once you have unbearable traffic, a town is no longer
desirable. Parts of MV are there already.

Maybe you should read the plan, so you know what is happening with San Antonio. Then you could raise some relevant points
Of course we have read the gigantic plans:
Web Link (http //www.mountainview.gov/depts/comdev/planning/activeprojects/sanantcenter.asp
It is also quite interesting that those who wanted more
residential development in Phase-2 have gone silent abruptly.
And everyone sees the traffic everyday already.
Once the traffic becomes totally unbearable -- hope there
will be petitions from MV residents to scale-down the project.
Can't deny the traffic mess reality indefinitely.

I am so happy the Milk Pail will survive this massive transition! I actually moved to Marin about 6 months ago and I still make sure to stop at the Milk Pail when I come down to visit friends! Believe me, it is a rarity to find great quality produce at an even more fabulous price anywhere in the Bay Area!
My only concern now is about how congested the whole area will be once this whole complex (and that's a perfect word for it!) is built. Even if the Milk Pail provides more parking spaces the traffic in and out will be horrendous!
Oh well, the little guy finally won for once! I wish them all the luck in the world!
The gigantic plans you linked to don't show the San Antonio Rd plans other than bike lines.
There is more going on than that

Looks like the citizens of MV have been hoodwinked by the Milk Pail
market issue when the more serious issues have been sidelined.
Developers do the following to maximize profits without any concern for quality of life and livability of the surroundings...
(1) Build with no setbacks.
(2) Build as many stories as possible.
(3) Remove heritage trees and just pay pittance in fines -- even
$5million won't be enough per heritage tree. But the city is
happy to take a few thousand dollars as fines.
(4) Build high density with no concern for the traffic mess and
destroy livability of a town.
(5) Build cheap with no architectural aesthetics.
(6) Charge high rents because the young recent grads working
for world-class companies are able to afford it.
(7) Don't show any interest in the community and not worry
about schools for the kids living in the 1000 apartment
complexes. Pretend that since the residents today are
20-somethings, there will never be small children ever
in those apartments.
(8) Pave concrete everywhere and not provide ADEQUATE green
space for the 1000's of apartments and offices they build.
(9) Focus only on the returns for the developers themselves
and their far-removed investors.
(10)Add inexpensive glitz and glamour to the development and
pretend that the buildings are upscale.
(11)Present studies that show no traffic increase when the traffic
is already a disaster for everyone to see and experience today.
But are there any checks and balances to ensure the livability of
a town? Yes -- but it is only as good as the citizens that are
willing to elect the right officials for city administration.
Been There, Done That, Cuernavaca
Once again, Merlone Geier held the city council hostage. And this time, they got pretty much what they wanted.
Glad to see the Milk Pail saved (for now, anyway) -- but not happy it (presumably) is at the cost of two other businesses.

Oh happy day! Mountain View is losing the war, but we've won this David and Goliath battle. Traffic, congestion, overcrowding and all the other horrible problems will plague us with or without the Milk Pail, but this outcome at least preserves one of our city's most beloved icons.
concerned citizen
concerned citizen, Old Mountain View
Traffic will be badly impacted. The result will be miserable, especially at the intersection of San Antonio and El Camino. Merlone Geier, Planning, and Council all knew this. It was clearly stated in the Draft Environmental Impact Report. But given the premise that Phase 2 would happen on the scale that MG wanted, the impact was deemed "Significant and Unavoidable".
If you want to see what MG and Council have given us, take a look at the Draft EIR (Web Link The San Antonio-El Camino intersection is discussed as "Impact TR-4", starting on page 3.13-24. The intersection will "unavoidably" go to "Level of Service F", as shown in Table 3.13-11, on page 3.13-26.
There is a proposed mitigation measure, to improve the intersection slightly. It is not a certainty that it will be done, and in any case it would not be anything like adequate to reverse the deterioration of service.
This is what we get from our developer-friendly council. I don't expect anything different from the incoming council.
It's a shameful situation. But we can be thankful for small victories - at least the Milk Pail was saved. Thanks to everyone who spoke up!

Time to get signatures to suspend any development that will
aggravate traffic congestion. Time to get signatures to
scale-down ridiculously over-sized development.
Money is speaking so loud in MV that it is deafening.
And the traffic, pollution ... already unbearable.
Builders are doing their job namely squeeze everything they
can to make most money for themselves (at the expense of
quality of life in MV). The city council is saying, go ahead and
destroy the city... just pay a couple of bucks as fine.
The residents are not standing up for themselves to save
their city.

It makes sense to put these offices and stores within walking distance of the San Antonio Caltrain station. Also looking forward to the new buffered bike lanes on San Antonio Road and California Street.
"The residents are not standing up for themselves to save
their city."
I think this is due to the city council's policy of banning all citizens from going to the meetings. That's what I heard anyway.
Oh wait...
"Most speakers at Tuesday's meeting voiced support for the project, noting that it replaces an outdated center that no longer serves the community's needs. And several retail tenants also spoke about the anticipated business boost that would come from Phase 2."
Resident, Old Mountain View
Hmmm.... the Milk Pail, a small business having mediocre produce past its prime, gets to stay at the expense of 2 other small businesses. Whoppee. I don't see any concern or sympathy for the owners of the other businesses.
Techie, Gemello
The development of the San Antonio shopping center is the legacy of the current City Council, and outgoing Councilmembers Jac Siegel, Ronit Bryant, and Margaret Abe-Koga.
Thanks so much for building a nightmarish center, where merely trying to enter the center and find a parking spot is a challenge, due to its design and layout. Can't wait to see how awful it's gonna get with the additional development.
Merlone Geier never "held the Council hostage." That's ridiculous. The Council has the authority to nix/amend the proposal.
6:00pm weekday evening meeting for the due process...
everyone is allowed to participate.
Lot of people are suffering the traffic congestion
and have to endure the massive out-of-proportion
deveopments -- however, they are busy raising families,
busy with their careers, etc. Who has the time to attend
meetings on weekday evenings?
The unsuspecting citizens expect the city council to do the
right thing -- pay attention to traffic mess, etc. when
approving projects.
Developers on the other hand have armies of support staff
to go play the necessary roles in these weekday evening
city council meetings and get whatever they want. Quality
of life or the livability of a city be damned.
In summary... citizens of MV have been royally hoodwinked
with the distraction called Milk Pail while traffic mess
is the reality already even before Phase-2 gets started.
Petition is the only way to deal with the traffic mess.
That is the only democratic process available.
Techie -- "Merlone Geier never "held the Council hostage." That's ridiculous. The Council has the authority to nix/amend the proposal."
If you actually believe that, I have some oceanfront property in Kansas I'd like to sell you.
" If you actually believe that, I have some oceanfront property in Kansas I'd like to sell you."
Guess you missed all the meetings where the council asked for yet ANOTHER change.
and the 44 bed retirement housing project was shot down by a lot of the same people....
but if it's not something you like, it's a big conspiracy isn't it?
"6:00pm weekday evening meeting for the due process...
everyone is allowed to participate. "
The agenda is printed ahead of time. Anyone can look at it. If you were watching on tv, you'd see that the comments were still going past 8pm.
Last week the meeting got out at about 1030.
The city council members will actually respond to emails... imagine that!

I can guarantee that if I plan to see a movie and drop into the Milk Pail I will not park and then move my car to do so. Likewise, most Milk Pail shoppers will not be parked for more than 20 minutes, 30 minutes max.
Designated parking makes no sense.
Shared parking makes a lot of sense.
The city council seems to be turning a blind eye to the
traffic woes. Perhaps they are naive? Or perhaps they
don't care?
Asking for input from residents, when the traffic issue
is staring the city council in their face is so disingenuous.
By asking for input, they appear very democratic and
look good. But, OK'ing out-of-proportion development
despite the traffic mess we are already in -- really
disingenuous.

The victory for Milk Pail will not last long. Even the sample merchants in the renderings of the latest design telegraph a tony market, and it does not fit well in the new scheme of things.
While I enjoy the nice sentiment to have the little guy win one, I suspect the traffic congestion will discourage shoppers. If I were the shady developer, I would lease to a new, competitor food store for below-market rates. With good margins, that market, full of halogen-lit fruit with its implied superiority, will draw away what customers Milk Pail retained.
Hilariously, the city agreed to the enormous subsidy for the restaurants in the development. All those Linkedin employees will be buying their lunch at the downstairs cafes. What a bonanza! (You can bet there was no deal to eliminate competition for food markets)
Yes, the developer got only 95% of what they wanted, and, hooray, the little guy got 5%. But only for a while.
re: b minkin
re: b minkin, another community
There's already a whole foods and a trader joes in the area and also, the large new Safeway carries some organic produce. But Milkpail is doing great nevertheless, and it's easy to see why: both prices and quality are better. So I'd say your argument is a bit of a conspiracy theory. Milkpail is very competitive as far as I can tell, and I'm very happy I can keep shopping there. The rest of this project looks great too, thanks much!

I am afraid that "saving" Milk Pail will end up being a pyrrhic victory. Given where we are today, I can't imagine how this monster of a project won't make traffic unbearable.
No housing, 2000 employees, a useless hotel, and a movie theater? A MOVIE THEATER? That just kills me. The center is NOT pedestrian friendly (have you TRIED walking from the Starbucks to the Counter, through the Safeway parking lot?), and you can't easily walk to it from across the train tracks. Or from anywhere, really. The traffic will be EPIC.
The outgoing lame duck council members are laughing in the faces of voters who overwhelmingly voted for more housing and balanced development. And yes, I did email the council. More than once. Let's hope that once the new council is seated in January, they can quickly make amends to this abomination. It's more important than Milk Pail at this point, frankly.

I don't think you can ignore the number of folks who shop and support the Milk Pail where I have shopped for many years. I disagree with Resident who said " the Milk Pail, a small business having mediocre produce past its prime" Obviously Resident hasn't shopped there! They have 13,453 likes on Facebook!
Their produce is excellent and cheap, their cheeses(and many other items) are excellent and cheap. It is truly an international market. You hear many different languages spoken. Steve goes out of his way to carry products from the countries that are represented here in the Peninsula. Most of their food is better and much less than Safeway, Whole Foods,etc. I like East Coast apples-they carry Macoun, Empire, Cortland,etc. from NY. Its charm is that it hasn't been remodeled into a sterile new building They now have Tiffany, a cheese expert, giving samplings and pairings at the entrance. Very smart marketing tool. The Milk Pail didn't hold up anything. The developer was aggressive to make money. Mt. View needs low income housing. A greedy developer( and obviously the Council) doesn't care who they affect. It's all about revenues. Mike Kasperzak, a friend, couldn't understand why Steve didn't want a newer larger space. He obviously doesn't shop at the Milk Pail. He doesn't "get it".

I also am happy for the Milk Pail, but very sad for the other small businesses. And yes, traffic will become even more hectic with drivers that still text, talk on their cell phones, ues no blinkers, change lanes in a blink of an eye (Good Lord, do not blink!!!),have no regard for others.
The good thing about all of this is that as we've seen here, the most legitimate opinions are those that criticize what elected officials do.
I used to think Rush Limbaugh was just buffoon, but now I see I was wrong.
He is THE most important person out there in the political commentary sphere because he is always bashing the president-- a president everyone had the chance to vote on.
I used to get annoyed with the conservatives who wouldn't shut up about Clinton for years after he was out of office. But now, I realize that the most important part of "democracy" is to complain when you don't get your way.
And even for years after you didn't get your way

I am so happy the Milk Pail will survive but it is a pittance thrown to us in exchange for making the traffic worse. 2,000 employees that can't have a cafeteria so the will be forced to either walk to a $15 burger joint or DRIVE to a more reasonable place to eat.... My guess is the Safeway will become the cafeteria so forget about dropping in for a quick item anywhere lunch time.
How do we get a grass roots campaign to completely stop the development until there are enough schools for the children on that side of El Camino? They just raised property taxes in Los Altos over $600 to help pay for new schools for all the kids in the new developments. Tell us how to stop this growth insanity!
Again, I'm very happy we get to keep our Milk Pail but I already cut my trips there by half due to the horrible traffic we have now... so I can't see I'll shop more often when we have to deal with movie patrons and all the others.
Oh yeah, I just wrote a reply to Santa Clara protesting their plan to take 1 lane on each side of El Camino away for transit busses. Think driving to your homes is bad now.... just wait.
UGH!!!

I am very happy for the Milk Pail but I'm more upset the traffic and super density has caused gridlock, destroyed our views of the mountains, stolen our quality of life with the only "benefit" we got was to pay much higher property taxes in Los Altos to build schools for all these kids in these new developments. oh yea, and the gridlock around school times from parents driving kids to and from school as they think it unsafe to walk across El Camino to attend Egan and Santa Rita.
Don't forget Google is building a massive complex at the old Mayfield Mall....
Count me in for ANYTHING that helps delay this absurd building.
Just a reminder that part of the title of this article is about the Milk Pail. "Milk Pail market saved" so its 13,000+ supporters should be able to have a say about that particular issue. For those of us who are low income the Milk Pail offers quality food at lower prices. It is a symbol of the haves overpowering the have-nots.
Unfortunately, development is the main issue in Mt. View, Palo Alto, Menlo Park(where I live),etc. Both the PA and MP elections had candidates who don't want excess and inappropriate development. Traffic is the main issue for all 3 cities.
Earlier this year PA residents successfully scuttled a proposal to build a larger building at the corner of Hamilton and Rqmona. The PA City Council chambers are often full on the Monday nights they meet. They have a strong Neighborhood Coalition that connects the large # of groups alectronically which allows them to share the CC agenda so they can attend when a development issue comes up.The PACC has been loudly criticized for making development deals behind the citizen's backs. It sounds like you need to form a similar anti-development group in Mt. View.
There has been opposition in MP about the planned large Stanford development which replaces the abandoned car dealerships. Measure M was on the ballot about that very project.
In Palo Alto the Jisser family wants to sell the Buena Vista mobile home park where many low income Latino families live. They live there because they want their kids to attend the PA schools.There is a "Friends of Buena Vista" group that keeps trying to prevent Jisser from selling the land to a developer who wants to build high end housing. Thew PA City Council keeps rejecting the package the Jisser family has been proposing to give to the tenants to get them to move out. Unfortunately, it has been calculated that they won't be able to stay in PA where their kids are going to school. Lawyers are representing the BV residents.
ALL of these issues are part of the 1% vs the 99% phenomenon. Our grassroots Stop the Ban Coalition successfully got the PA City Council to rescind the awful vehicle ban against homeless people whose housing is their car or van. Again thanks to 2 legal decisions. There was even one affluent Council member, Larry Klein, who wanted the ban to continue! There is NO affordable housing in Santa Clara County. That's why it has the 4th largest number of homeless in America.
Instead of building a movie theater they should be building low-income housing. Perhaps all the anti-development groups and ant-development City Council members could band together and get legal advice since that's what has been delaying some of these projects. This is an important dialogue. Grassroots activism works.
No traffic issues for me
No traffic issues for me, Bailey Park
I go to the MP daily and have no traffic or parking issues.
I ride my bike. Many others do as well. That's one demographic that won't be chased away. MP should put up big bike racks! It's so easy on a bike.

OMG what a bunch of whiners! If you don't like the traffic, you could move to Montana. I bet most of the complainers weren't born in California anyway. I'm looking forward to the new development, though I too am glad the Milk Pail has been spared.
Oh yeah forgot the bike riders that don't follow the rules of the road either, dart in and out of traffic. Ya, easy on a bike. Thanks for the reminder.

@Lynn Huidekoper
But anti-developments groups don't want any affordable housing. Also, building low-income units is a costly policy that will benefit a lucky few at the expense of the slightly-less poor middle class who will be forced away.
Justin,
I have to disagree with you. Where did you get the idea that anti-development folks don't want affordable housing? They don't want more businesses if there isn't adequate parking and they generate a lot more traffic than low income housing. An affordable apt. would only have a few folks needing parking.
Affordable housing for seniors would house 1-2 people at most. Many senior women outlive their husbands and need an apt. so that's only one person. A business would have lots more employees who would need parking. That is precisely why PA folks got a business development project for the corner of Hamilton and Ramona rejected. Even though the business plan would have added 9 parking spaces that wouldn't be enough for the number of employees that the businesses would need adding to an already severe lack of parking in downtown PA.
The middle class can't afford the current housing,either. Most seniors live on fixed income, the rents are too high for many middle class folks. Why is low income housing "costly"? It certainly would be less than building high end apartments.
Sunnyvale has 2 housing groups building apts.for low income and homeless people on the location of the former Sunnyvale National Guard Armory. Other cities should follow suit.
There are college and high school students who can't afford the rents and have to sleep in their cars. You need to Google the facts that are out there. Many of the vehicle dwellers have jobs but can't afford the high rents,either. Many are "middle class folks".
The people elected to Palo Alto City council are on a "residentialist" platform AKA preserving the quality of life for everyone lucky enough to afford to live in Palo Alto and keeping anyone else out. Pro-housing advocates are accused of "being in the pocket of developers." The anti-development folks want to require more parking and have taxpayers pay for public garages instead of reducing demand for parking by installing meters.
I'm not totally against low-income housing, but requiring developers to subsidize it or imposing rent control is going to raise the cost of supplying housing, so the units that do get built are higher-end. And you may not want more higher-end housing here, but the lack of supply here is bringing techies to SF, Oakland, Berkeley, even East Palo Alto.
There is way too much demand in the Bay Area for reasonable quality housing that is near affordable, but all the building restrictions and regulations make it worse. That includes height limits, low-density zoning, and parking minimums that are enthusiastically supported by anti-development folks.
Em, Monta Loma
Okay - so is it too late for a petition? And if not, is there one already in process? Are there any other options for residents to band together to fight this?
Also, it's obvious the MV City Council was never looking out for their "constituents". Please be very careful the next time you vote.

Here is a link to an OLD OLD petition that includes how the process works.
(http //balancedmv.org/preparing-for-the-volunteer-petition-drive-against-phase-2/)
Interestingly, the people who touted that petition have gone silent
inexplicably after the phase-2 is approved now.
A petition can be started only after the phase 2 is approved, which
it has been. So the gates are now open for the petition, but there
is limited time.
Someone needs to take the initiative to set up the process.
There is very little time -- barely 3 weeks to get ~3500 signatures.
Otherwise, the unbearable traffic that is already a mess will
make MV the gridlock city and San Antonio Road in particular the
Elephant Way, where traffic moves like an elephant if at all.

As a resident in the area of the shopping center, this push to build has created a nightmare as far as quality of life here. Too many people, not enough attention to traffic issues, people who say "walk or take public transportation" without regard for the people who can't do either of those things, more children in the area but no thought to schools or other services for the people coming in.
I moved here because it was a pleasant town with good schools. Now, due to the desire to increase tax revenue, we build excessively in some ares and not at all in others. Why is the ugly shopping center on El Camino with the Baskin Robbins spared, yet other areas razed without regard to the desires of the public?
I am not opposed to building or improving what is here. What I AM opposed to is the thoughtless drive to increase density without regard to the impact on current residents. I'm sorry, but the people already here should be the priority, not the desire for more dollars.

3500 signatures in two weeks is what is needed to create
a petition and then move forward with a referendum.
What happened to some vocal posters that wanted to
start a petition?
Time is limited -- just 2 weeks is all MV residents have.
The traffic caused by Phase-2 will be so horrendous -- it
will be the most nightmarish development seen in MV and
elsewhere. Office buildings, movie theater, hotel, 2000+
car garage -- what were the council members thinking.
The developers are doing their job namely focusing on their
return on investment. Unfortunately, it is not their
job to worry about the horrendous traffic, quality of
life after phase-2 etc.
MV residents... are you listening?
to PSR
to PSR, Old Mountain View
"Why is the ugly shopping center on El Camino with the Baskin Robbins spared"
Because the landowner of that site has not decided to re-develop the property. The other areas have.
The majority of people who complain about such issues as development forget that NOTHING happens until someone who owns something decides to do something. Council will of course set land use rules (like the recently passed El Camino Real Precise Plan), but nothing changes until there is an applicant.
Evelyn, another community
I live at Carmel the Village, and love it so far, traffic and all. However, I'm sure Phase II will drive up the rent, so I plan to vacate before sticker shock hits.
And my own personal beef: since when did the original HP garage in Palo Alto lose the "Birthplace of Silicon Valley" title?
Uhhhh
Uhhhh, another community
Because Shockley's organization produced the first silicon device! You know silicon, right? It's the first word in Silicon Valley!
on Dec 12, 2014 at 1:25 am
Just because Palo Alto decided that the spot where no silicon inventions were made is the "birthplace of silicon valley" doesn't mean it's true. Just like Hayward calling themselves "heart of the bay" doesn't make it true
HP Garage The Original
HP Garage The Original, another community
Silicon Valley is Silicon Valley because of the entrepreneurial spirit that
personified Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard. Therefore the birth place of Silicon Valley is still the HP Garage. The kind of human beings that Bill and Dave were,
that HP Garage is also the birthplace of business with humanity and dignity.
The birth of Silicon is Shockley's lab in MV. Please learn more about
him here: Web Link (http //en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Shockley) .
Unfortunately, Shockley was a "staunch advocate of eugenics" as mentioned in
the Wikipedia. Not sure that MV needs a reminder of that unfortunate association.
That original Shockley's lab is no longer there in the San Antonio Shopping
center -- it has been a produce market for a while. Very interesting that
it has now gained recognition -- perhaps the developer wants to tout it
as a great thing that they want to "attach" to the phase-2 shopping center
development. This is called marketing!
>Shockley was a "staunch advocate of eugenics" as mentioned in

Ben Tucker: Remembering A Bassist And Citywide Icon
By Patrick Jarenwattananon
Published June 6, 2013 at 8:00 AM EDT
Ben Tucker.
We jazz fans tend to filter through a lot of names. For every Sonny Rollins or Wes Montgomery on the cover of an album, there might be two, three, four, five, eight, 14 more musicians backing him or her. Slowly, we begin to string together the works of these sidemen, too: what they're capable of, with whom they recorded, in what circles they appeared to run. Somewhere, we know this isn't the complete story, but sometimes, it's all we have to start thinking of one.
To evaluate the late bassist Ben Tucker on that criterion would reveal some impressive credits. He played bass in Billy Taylor's trio for years. He's on records by Art Pepper and Warne Marsh made in Southern California. He's on dates led by Gerry Mulligan, Grant Green and Quincy Jones made in New York City. The recording log alone reveals every indication of a first-rate player during a fertile period in music.
Look a little further on the credits and you'll see he was a composer, as well. His blues "Comin' Home Baby" was recorded by a jazz group led by drummer Dave Bailey in October 1961; the next month, Tucker was again present when flutist Herbie Mann recorded it live in concert. Mann's version became a hit, but not the Top 40 success that reluctant vocalist Mel Tormé enjoyed when Tucker worked with Bob Dorough to create a lyric for the tune. Among the hundreds of Tucker's songwriting credits, "Comin' Home Baby" remains his biggest commercial success — it was even recently recorded by Michael Bublé.
But Ben Tucker's legacy stretched far beyond annals and listings of personnel, or even jazz clubs. His impact could be felt deeply in fields like broadcasting, music publishing and Saturday-morning television, and in Savannah, Ga., where he lived for his final decades.
Ben Tucker was driving a golf cart when he was struck by an out-of-town driver on Tuesday. He was 82.
Born in 1930, Tucker and his twin brother grew up in Nashville, Tenn., where he taught himself the upright bass and tuba. After attending college and serving four years in the Air Force, he took to the Los Angeles area, and then New York City, where he found his way into the jazz community.
But Tucker didn't just play bass. He and Bob Dorough formed a production company to make television commercials. In the early 1970s, an advertising executive whose son was having trouble learning arithmetic asked Tucker and Dorough to set multiplication tables to music. The result was the pilot episode of what would later become Schoolhouse Rock!, the three-minute animated interstitials between educational and kids programming.
Tucker also learned the publishing business. Not long after meeting the singer-songwriter Bobby Hebb, Tucker helped him record the song "Sunny," which became a hit. Royalties from "Sunny" allowed Tucker to pursue future business opportunities.
Like his colleague Billy Taylor, Tucker took an interest in broadcasting. In 1972, Tucker moved to Savannah, Ga. and bought the AM radio station WSOK. As one of a small handful of black radio-station owners in the country, he transformed the station into the top AM station in its market, and gave voice to the city's African-American population. The future mayor of Savannah, Otis Johnson, hosted a program. "I was the voice of the black community," Tucker told the Savannah Morning News in 2006. He later started the FM station WLVH.
But, also like Taylor, Tucker never stopped performing. Among other jazz societies and initiatives to which he contributed, in 1989 Tucker also opened a jazz club in Savannah called Hard-Hearted Hannah's, and played in the house band six nights a week. He was a regular at the Westin hotel in town, where he played the Sunday jazz brunch and played the golf course onsite frequently. He became an icon in the city's music community. From the AP obituary:
"One of the most interesting things about playing with Ben was he was so beloved by so many people in Savannah who had met him at his club or whose weddings he had played," said Howard Paul, a jazz guitarist who played and recorded with Tucker for more than 20 years. "You could count on being interrupted at least three times in a song because Savannahians would walk up and shake his hand while we were playing."
Myself, I only knew Ben Tucker by name, by the two-dimensional credits on album covers. But Ben Tucker had many dimensions that connected him deeply to many communities — and, luckily, he left traces of those stories behind, too.

British Forts and Their Communities:
Archaeological and Historical Perspectives
Edited by Christopher R. DeCorse and Zachary J. M. Beier
Hardcover ISBN 13: 9780813056753 - Pub Date: 4/10/2018 Details: 330 pages, 6x9 Subject(s): Archaeology
"The ten case studies represented in this volume demonstrate the complexity of the fort communities, and the role archaeology plays in seeking the whole story."—American Archaeology
"A fresh approach to far-flung British forts that unravels the diverse ethnicities of each fort's garrison and support community, thereby revealing the complex and imperfect ways British imperialists imposed colonialism across the globe."—Gregory A. Waselkov, author of A Conquering Spirit: Fort Mims and the Redstick War of 1813–1814
"Demonstrates that the study of British forts is as diverse and complex as the communities that developed within and around these fortifications."—Todd Ahlman, director of the Center for Archaeological Studies, Texas State University
While the military features of historic forts usually receive the most attention from researchers, this volume focuses instead on the people who met and interacted in these sites. Contributors to British Forts and Their Communities look beyond the defensive architecture, physical landscapes, and armed conflicts to explore the complex social diversity that arose in the outposts of the British Empire.
The forts investigated here operated at the empire's peak in the seventeenth, eighteenth, and nineteenth centuries, protecting British colonial settlements and trading enclaves scattered across the globe. Locations in this volume include New York State, Michigan, the St. Lawrence River, and Vancouver, as well as sites in the Caribbean and in Africa. Using archaeological and archival evidence, these case studies show how forts brought together people of many different origins, ethnicities, identities, and social roles, from European soldiers to indigenous traders to African slaves.
Characterized by shifting networks of people, commodities, and ideas, these fort populations were microcosms of the emerging modern world. This volume reveals how important it is to move past the conventional emphasis on the armed might of the colonizer in order to better understand the messy, entangled nature of British colonialism and the new era it helped usher in.
Christopher R. DeCorse, professor of anthropology at Syracuse University, is coauthor of Anthropology: A Global Perspective. Zachary J. M. Beier is lecturer in the Department of History and Archaeology at the University of the West Indies at Mona, Jamaica.

The Jewish Cemetery Aachen (German: ) is located in Aachen in North Rhine-Westphalia. It is on the corner of Lütticher Straße (English "Liège street") and Körnerstraße.

In 1820, the Jewish community in Aachen asked the district administrator to allocate a place for the burial of deceased members of the community, since at that time the dead of the Jewish community in Aachen had to be buried in Düren in the  or in the neighboring Dutch village of Vaals. The Jewish cemetery was transferred to the Jewish community of Aachen in June 1822 and used for burials from the same year. In 1865 and 1878, the site was expanded. The burial hall was completed in 1890. The oldest tombstone () dates from 1822. In the cemetery, which is still in use today, there are 1366 tombstones for 2153 deceased (as of December 2014).

The cemetery has been desecrated several times. Most recently, on the night of 1–2 August 2010, the cemetery wall was vandalized with anti-semitic smearings and Nazi symbolism.

Spurred by boredom and maybe a touch of mid-life crisis, a political science professor quits the security of academic life and with just the cash in his pocket, a worn-out station wagon and a cargo of books hits the road in search of something - different. economy and the highest unemployment rate since the Great Depression. His new colleagues include ne'er-do-wells, zanies, bohemians, underachievers, and people temporarily or permanently "down on their luck." He joins the "new poor" - an unprecedented class of downwardly mobile people for whom university degrees, diligence, and doing "everything right" have lost their force - and he becomes himself a misfit who can't, or won't, hang onto a job. During his travels he makes a catch-as-catch-can living as an adjunct professor, a field worker, a department store clerk, a civil servant, a door-to-door salesman, a janitor, a car washer, a day laborer, even a seller of blood - his own. This is a close-up view of the dark (and now largely neglected) side of the 1980s, also of a subculture which lives just below the surface of middle-class American life and which shares neither in its affluence nor its aspirations. It's a fouryear stroll on the wrong side of the tracks, a tale reminiscent of George Orwell's Down and Out in Paris and London, yet leavened with a dash of humor.
John Calvert is a former professor of political science who has taught at several colleges and universities in the United States, as well as Germany, Sicily, the Azores, China, and Ukraine.

Four wheel drive allows you to go places you've only imagined.


Spend time with Africa's gentle giants – interacting, feeding, and truly observing their characters and individual mannerisms. Easels and palettes await beneath the trees and in front of the mud wallow, where the herd descends to splash and play in the cool mud. A private tutor is provided to guide guests through a painting workshop, using their sketch pads and brush to capture the moment.
The experience is truly like no other. Elephants are incredibly intuitive animals, and they seem to know that this activity embodies creativity. Fuelled with curiosity, they saunter right up to the easels, soaking in the artistic energy. Having approved of the work in progress, they head back to the wallow to roll about and seemingly pose for the artists. It's as if they enjoy the activity as much as the guests, being in no rush to head off into the bush once again. When the herd does eventually decide they have had enough of the lime light, they stroll off, and warthogs take their place, happily lolling about in the now free wallow. Being immersed in and amongst the trees, the time spent interacting with this environment and it's animals is extremely personal. Such a novel way to connect with the African bush and it's creatures.

Max Headroom M-m-mondays #10: Dream Thieves
November 15th, 2010 Dave
Continuing my weekly look back at 1987's Max Headroom series.
"Dream Thieves"
Written by Steve Roberts and Charles Grant Craig
"People love to pay. It massages their self-esteem." –Greig
The Story: Edison reconnects with Paddy Ashton, a former colleague whose life went decidedly downhill after Carter beat him for the promotion to network telejournalist. Guilt turns to fury when Paddy dies during an experimental dream recording technique producing content for the launch of a new pay TV channel.
Behind the Screens: As I watched this episode, it struck me that they must've spent a small fortune on the scenes set in the Fringes. Nighttime exteriors, dozens of extras and a junkyard's worth of grungy set dressing…for a anarchic hellscape, it looks pretty awesome.
For all of Edison's righteous wrath, the eponymous "dream thieves" don't seem all that villainous. Okay, they don't tell their subjects that their dreams will be televised to millions. And sure, they cover up the occasional death-by-nightmare. But compared to organ traffickers or Charles Rocket, they're pretty small potatoes.
Once again, Breughel is your go-to guy when it's time to get rid of a body. However, this time he's a got a new "Mahler," having sacrificed his former partner one night during a shortage of fresh corpses.
There are a couple of odd things about this outing. It's the first episode to have no scenes in the Network 23 boardroom. It also sees Dominique serving as Theora's surrogate when Edison leaves behind his vidcam and has to make do with Blank Reg's infrared surveillance camera.
Meanwhile, Max Headroom–who, being either "off" or "on," cannot himself dream–replays some of Edison's dreams to distract the bad guys. He chooses an erotic encounter with Theora which turns out to be a creative reuse of footage from the pilot episode.
The Ratings Report:
Theora's Level of Concern
How Minutes Into the Future Is This Now?
Movie theaters no longer exist. Edison rhapsodizes about these lost "dream palaces" and the forgotten experience of hundreds of people watching the same screen at the same time.
The dream-recording device is weirdly low-tech. For reasons unexplained, video cameras are unable to capture the images being projected onto the eyeball from the pineal gland, so it uses good, ol'-fashioned film reels.
Carter pays off Breughel to deliver Paddy's body to a cemetery rather than a body bank. The final scene of the episode has Edison and Murray remembering their friend in the midst of a field of tombstones which appear to have TV monitors mounted atop them.
video cemeteries +2 minutes
the demise of the movie industry +2 minutes
canine video jockeys +2 minutes
= more than 20 Minutes Into the Future

A: Оператор nonlocal пытается вывести переменную pos в глобальную область видимости, что ему не разрешено по документации. См. https://docs.python.org/3/reference/simple_stmts.html#nonlocal
Попробуй global.

A: nonlocal pos тут вообще не нужно. У вас проблема в другом - в том, что переменная pos ничем не инициализирована в самом начале. Я бы предложил её инициализировать None, так же, как вы делаете с переменной sp:
sp = None
pos = None # <- добавлено

И далее прежде чем использовать значение pos проверяйте сначала, что там не None:
            if pos != None and pos[0] - sp[0] <= 0:
               ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ вот эта проверка добавлена в if

Сейчас у вас при движении мыши управление попадает в этот if когда переменная pos вообще не задана, там ничего нет. Инициализация pos каким-то значением происходит только после нажатия кнопки мыши.

Een cameo of glimprol is een kort optreden van een beroemdheid in een speelfilm, televisieserie, stripverhaal of lied. Cameo's dient men niet te verwarren met gastoptredens: dat zijn doorgaans grotere rollen, waarbij de beroemdheid in kwestie veelal zichzelf speelt.

Variaties en nuances
Een cameo is doorgaans bedoeld als humoristisch knipoogje om het publiek te amuseren dat de beroemdheid herkent. Een beroemd persoon verschijnt even kort in beeld in een klein bijrolletje en verdwijnt weer. Dit kan puur om het aha-erlebnis-effect gaan, zoals bij de beroemde filmacteurs die kleine figurantenrollen hadden in The Muppet Movie, The Great Muppet Caper en The Muppets Take Manhattan. Soms heeft het cameo echter een dubbele bodem en is hij bedoeld als een verwijzing of een hommage. In Quentin Tarantino's film Kill Bill, bedoeld als een ode aan de Aziatische vechtfilm, heeft een van de beroemdste acteurs in het genre, Sonny Chiba, een cameo als verkoper van samoeraizwaarden. In Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End speelt rockgitarist Keith Richards de rol van Jack Sparrows vader omdat Depp het karakter van zijn rol als Jack gebaseerd had op Richards. Veel schrijvers hebben een kleine cameo in de verfilming van hun roman(s), zoals Ronald Giphart die in de film Phileine zegt sorry ironisch genoeg beweert dat de film beter is dan zijn boek.

Veel artiesten geven zichzelf geregeld een cameo-optreden in hun eigen werk. Het bekendste voorbeeld hiervan is waarschijnlijk filmregisseur Alfred Hitchcock, die in zijn films altijd één keer in beeld verscheen als voorbijganger.

Het woord cameo wordt gebruikt sinds omstreeks 1851. Aanvankelijk sloeg het op een kleine toneelrol die een grote dramatische impact heeft. De huidige betekenis kwam omstreeks de jaren vijftig in zwang.

Ook in de muziek komt de term cameo voor, wanneer een bekende musicus (op de achtergrond) meespeelt met een andere artiest.

In de film- en televisiewereld krijgen beroemde acteurs de meeste cameo's. Maar ook mensen zonder acteerervaring, zoals schrijvers, atleten of politici, kunnen een cameo hebben.

Q: What happens to Kubernetes state when all EKS worker nodes are deleted or go down at the same time? I have a Amazon EKS cluster with a bunch of applications and resources deployed to it. I now want to delete and recreate all worker nodes at once.
Will my deployed applications loose their state in this case or will they be recreated as they were (preserving their state in ETCD on the control plane) when the new worker nodes start?
I'm especially interested whether the state of my ingresses and secrets will be preserved during the moment when there are no worker nodes available at all, only to be recreated again when the new nodes come up?
For example I'm using sealed-secrets to encrypt all of my secrets. Will I have to re-encrypt all secrets or will the sealed-secrets-controller (running in the kube-system namespace on a worker node) keep it's state when all node go down at once?
I wonder the same in regard to the aws-load-balancer-controller which manages all ingresses? If it looses all of its pods and is then recreated on the new nodes, will the state of the ingress be preserver and will the new loadbalancer controller continue to manage the already existing ingresses?

A: Your state will be maintained.
EKS/k8s uses etcd to store all the data required for the state, and everything related to Kubernetes objects, be it ingress, secrets or deployments.
Same with aws-load-balancer-controller, it will manage all ingresses because this data is not stored on worker nodes. It is held in etcd, and in the case of AWS-EKS, it is not accessible to anyone apart from the master.
Make sure, you delete and recreate only the worker nodes, if you delete the cluster, everything will be destroyed.


Use the System.Reflection classes in the .NET Framework to write, execute, and interact with code you write dynamically at run-time from your applications.
Now that you've seen a bit of Jscript.NET, here's an example application that performs a basic math calculation known as a factorial. The factorial of a number n is defined as n!, where n is an integer greater than 1, or more completely, n * (n-1)!. So for the number 3, 3! is equal to 3 * 2!, which is equal to 3 * 2 * 1, or 6. The point of this example is to demonstrate that you can develop applications that build unique scripts based on user input or other variable factors, and then compile and execute the code dynamically. For factorials, this capability is important because a standard recursive algorithm to perform the calculation degrades substantially as the number n becomes large; this example demonstrates a practical way to improve the performance of the factorial calculation for large number. To begin the example, create a new Windows Forms application in C#. Add two text box controls (txtNumber and txtResult) and a command button named btnCompute to the form. The txtNumber TextBox will hold the factorial calculation and the txtResult TextBox will display the result. The btnCompute button will initiate the process to create the JScript.NET class code, compile it, and perform the factorial computation. Your form should look similar to Figure 1.

As a recent college grad from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, some people would be surprised to hear I have a stacked resume of experience ranging from internships to part-time work. However, the most valuable thing on my resume, by far, is my internship from Verdin.
Not only is it a great thing for future employers to see, but it also taught me a lot about what I want to find in a company I work for. Their company culture is nothing short of inspiring. They have cultivated an atmosphere of friendship and professionalism, while still putting their clients first.
Almost immediately after completing my internship, I landed a position on the marketing team of Pashion Footwear. Pashion Footwear is an innovative fashion-tech startup that has created the world's first fully convertible high heel. Led by our fearless leader and CEO, Haley Pavone, our team has not only been able to excel, but we also have fun doing it.
Much of the experience I gained in my internship went straight into my work with Pashion. It's been a busy but exciting season getting organized for our product launch, which is now underway. We are so thankful for all the people that have backed the campaign thus far! You can learn more and pledge here.
Verdin gave me something to look forward to in a workplace, and Pashion gave me something to be grateful for. The most valuable lesson I learned from these experiences is that a company is nothing without its people.
Verdin accepts interns every quarter and considers these students an integral part of our team. To inquire about internship opportunities, introduce yourself here!

Looking to find a gem, look no further. This home is located in a great neighborhood, lots of trees, very well built by owner and has remained with the same family all these years. This home is a 2 bedroom 1 bath that could easily become a 3 bedroom. Great kitchen area with plenty of cabinets and space, separate laundry area with full size washer and dyer with room for cabinet or freezer. With a new roof and large lot with beautiful mature trees makes this a great property to invest in.

New York mandates COVID-19 vaccination for all healthcare workers
New York State will mandate vaccinations for all healthcare workers in the state by Monday, Sept. 27. Photo: Adobe Stock
Denise Civiletti
All healthcare workers in New York State, including staff at hospitals and long-term care facilities — nursing homes, adult care and other congregate care settings — will be required to be vaccinated against COVID-19 by Monday, Sept. 27, Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced yesterday.
The State Department of Health will issue orders requiring all hospital, long-term care facilities and nursing homes to develop and implement a policy mandating employee vaccinations, with limited exceptions for those with religious or medical reasons, the governor said.
To date, 75% of the state's 450,000 hospital workers, 74% of the state's 30,000 adult care facility workers, and 68% of the state's 145,500 nursing home workers have completed their vaccine series, according to the governor.
Vaccines or weekly testing is already mandatory for public-facing healthcare workers at state-run hospitals.
Northwell Health, the state's largest private health system, early this month mandated its more than 76,000 employees to get vaccinated by Aug. 16 or be tested for the virus weekly. Northwell operates 23 hospitals, including Peconic Bay Medical Center, the largest private employer in Riverhead, as well as more than 800 outpatient facilities.
Labor unions representing healthcare workers have opposed mandatory vaccinations. Bothe the New York State Nurses Association, which represents more than 43,000 registered nurses in New York, and 1199SEIU United Healthcare Workers East, the largest health care union in the country, oppose vaccine mandates.
The New York State Nurses Association said in a statement last month it supports vaccination as a necessary tool to fight the coronavirus, but said it is only one piece of the puzzle.
"The most effective method to control an infectious pathogen — any infectious pathogen — is a multipronged approach," the NYSNA said in a July 21 position paper.
Healthcare facilities must prioritize correcting health and safety risks to front-line workers, including providing adequate supplies of personal protective equipment, better screening and cohorting of patients and maintaining adequate staffing levels, the labor union said.
Policymakers must focus on education and vaccination in underserved and under-vaccinated communities and limiting everyone's exposure by wearing well-fitting masks, maintaining social distancing and improving ventilation in all workplaces and indoor spaces, the union said.
"It is no surprise that there are spikes in COVID-19 cases at the exact moment most state and municipal guidelines on masking and social gathering were relaxed. This clearly illustrates the point that a vaccine-only strategy will continue to threaten public health," the nurses association said in the statement.
Cuomo, who is stepping down Aug. 23 facing impeachment and investigations over sexual harassment allegations, said Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul had been briefed on this major policy directive.
In his announcement yesterday, the governor, citing the spike in cases as the more contagious delta variant spreads across the state — where it is linked to more than 80% of all confirmed cases — said state mandates are needed to establish vaccinated-only admission to private businesses and mandatory vaccinations for teachers.
"[P]rivate businesses will not enforce a vaccine mandate unless it's the law, and local school districts will be hesitant to make these challenging decisions without legal direction," Cuomo said in the press release.
Cuomo also announced that the Department of Health has authorized a third COVID-19 vaccine dose for New Yorkers with compromised immune systems, following the CDC's recommendation last week. Eligible New Yorkers can receive their third dose 28 days after the completion of their two-dose vaccine series, effective immediately, the governor said.
