Doppelgänger


"Doppelgänger" has come to refer (as in German) to any double or look-alike of a person—most commonly an "evil twin". The essential meaning of the German word is "doublewalker", someone who is walking the same way as another person does. The word is also used to describe the sensation of having glimpsed oneself in peripheral vision, in a position where there is no chance that it could have been a reflection. They are generally regarded as harbingers of bad luck. In some traditions, a doppelgänger seen by a person's friends or relatives portends illness or danger, while seeing one's own doppelgänger is an omen of death. In Norse mythology, a vardøgr is a ghostly double who precedes a living person and is seen performing their actions in advance.

Pooh: "What's for breakfast? What do you say, Piglet?"
Piglet: "I say, I wonder what's going to happen exciting today?"
Pooh: (Pooh nods thoughtfully) "It's the same thing."

SF is losin' it

SAN FRANCISCO officials are putting together a task force to develop a strategy to preserve the city's rapidly declining African-American population, and possibly attract new African-American residents. This is a laudable goal, but at this late date -- San Francisco's black population has dropped from about 13.4 percent of the city to 6.5 percent over the last 25 years -- is there anything the city can really do? If so, are other San Franciscans likely to be as enthusiastic as are their officials?

The mere fact that city officials feel the need to put together a "task force" to stem the bleeding of African-American residents to other communities reveals how far this ship has already sailed past the horizon. San Francisco likes to bill itself as a diverse city, but the numbers -- 53 percent white and 33.5 percent Asian, mostly Chinese -- expose its relative homogeneity in comparison with other cities, such as Los Angeles or New York. San Francisco has the lowest proportion of black residents of any large city in the United States -- even lower than Seattle or San Diego. Demographers have also noted that the African Americans who move out of San Francisco tend to be more upwardly mobile -- so that the few black residents who are left constitute a poorer underclass. Certainly the isolation of these residents -- about one-third of San Francisco's African-American population lives in the Bayview district, which is so separate from the rest of the city that it resembles a South African township -- underscores San Francisco's uneasy feelings toward them.

R.I.P. CHAUNCEY!


Chauncey Bailey, editor of the Oakland Post and a former reporter for the Oakland Tribune, was slain by a masked gunman on a downtown Oakland street Thursday, police said.

Bailey, 57, was shot shortly before 7:30 a.m. on 14th Street near Alice Street while walking to work, police said. Paramedics were unable to revive Bailey, an outspoken advocate for the black community and an unabashed critic of corruption.

Witnesses told police a lone, masked gunman dressed in dark clothing approached Bailey, shot him once in the back and once in the head and ran away. One news account said the assailant got into a van that drove away, but Jordan said police have not been able to confirm that a van was used or that anyone else participated in the killing.

The spot where Bailey was killed is across the street from a preschool, across a parking lot from a post office and around the corner from a community arts center. No one at Starlight Child Development Center saw anything, although a couple of teachers heard gunshots.

"He was very controversial," said Derrick Nesbitt, who worked with Bailey on a cable access channel called "Soul Beat" from 1997 to 2004. "He was tenacious and would not let people off the hook, whether he was reporting on corruption in city government, the entertainment business or among rappers. He ruffled a lot of feathers because of it."

He said he asked Bailey several years ago if he had ever feared for his safety because of his probing into corruption or gang violence. Bailey said he had received threats but had shrugged them off.

Bailey was fired from the Tribune in 2005 for ethics violations, according to several former colleagues. He went on to work for the Post as a freelance foreign correspondent, covering stories in Vietnam and Haiti, and was named editor of the publication in June.

Apple Store = Elite Snobs

theBH likes macs but never had love for the Apple stores.
the 'Genius Bar', C'mon! Nothing short of some crackpot second-stringers.
Now, Apple is charging a $5 entrance fee into their stores.

"Part of the move was to limit crowds to keep the stores safe, but also we wanted to keep the right kind of people in the stores."
says Apples VP of retail outlets.

Peep the article of the elite snobs here.

a Worm in ur Apple?


peep the LINK

A vulnerability in Apple computers has reportedly been found and exploited by an "independent researcher" aka "InfoSec Sellout." Apparently, InfoSec Sellout dubbed the worm "Rape.osx." Sir Sellout will disclose the vulnerability to Apple only after his/her "research is complete" and after an appropriate level of loot is exchanged. This may change Apple's smugness on its security afterall.

FREE the BEAR

the Peoples Republic of California



These days arguments in favor of the secessionist movement would include:
California's economy, one of the top ten strongest economies in the world.
California's stem cell research initiatives.
California tax payers shouldering a disproportionate tax burden for the rest of the country.
California's kind buds and killer waves.
California's relatively liberal views when compared to the growing anti-secularism in the rest of the country.

But following the American Civil War, the Supreme Court ruled in Texas v White that states do not have the right to unilaterally secede from the Union. Meaning, any future attempts to secede would either require a new Supreme Court ruling, the consent of the United States, or a successful revolution. In addition, the California Constitution does not allow the state to leave the United States; this would need to be amended by the state legislature or referendum before any attempt to secede. (thats sucks)
