Uncle Fung's Borneo Eatery is a Family Dinner
Uncle Fung's Borneo Eatery is a Family Dinner
This past September the owners of Borneo Kalimantan opened Uncle Fung’s Borneo Eatery in Long Beach. My friend the storyteller and I raced over there as soon as we could. He had dined with me at the Alhambra restaurant and we both expected the experience here to be similar, if not identical. We looked forward to the list of arcane dishes on offer and happily braced ourselves for the anticipated blast of spice and heat.

Homelessness and the Lies We Tell Ourselves
Homelessness and the Lies We Tell Ourselves
The mayor’s office noted in a frequently asked questions sheet, “that homelessness touches every part of Los Angeles and that if we’re going to end homelessness, we need to create solutions in every community.” Angelenos overwhelmingly passed Measure H and Measure HHH, but money isn’t the only thing that is needed to deal with this crisis. Angelenos will have to sacrifice a bit of comfort and their long-held but often false beliefs about homelessness and the homeless.

For the Love of ‘Fresh’ Garlic
For the Love of ‘Fresh’ Garlic
It’s easy to take garlic for granted, given how easy it is to find fresh all year. By “fresh,” we mean not preserved in any way, but simply still alive, despite being harvested last summer.

Unchecked Assaults on Intelligence Foretell a State of Tyranny
Unchecked Assaults on Intelligence Foretell a State of Tyranny
General Michael C. Hayden begins his book, The Assault on Intelligence: American National Security in an Age of Lies, surveying the flattened streets of Sarajevo. When Hayden was head of Intelligence for the American Forces in Europe, he was tasked with providing intelligence to the United Nations forces based in Bosnia. As he paces the streets, Hayden laments that there was a time when Sarajevo was occupied with thriving commerce and religious tolerance only to be replaced with ruins and artillery. So, his warning about the perils of unchecked ethnic nationalism and its consequences are timely and significant.

The club’s president, Chris Valencia, sent me a press release about their July 14 backpack giveaway at Barton Hill Elementary School. The club had just hosted a softball tournament featuring motorcycle clubs from as far away as Indio and San Diego. As a result, they were able to purchase three times as many backpacks and school supplies as they did the first year the club started giving the school supplies to the students of Barton Hill Elementary.

==================================
MICROPAYMENT -- HOW IT WORKS
==================================
1. Get your paid ticket from Ticket Window #1 with a credit card, or use the free "Sample Ticket" if you have one. Paid tickets cost $8, and work at this or any site participating in the Clean Ticket Company Network. No refunds can be made.
2. The "Sample Ticket" is distributed at the discretion of the publication. The sample ticket works only at the web site of the publication that issued it. Also, they do not work for items marked, “Paid Ticket Only”.
3. To sign in, enter your 7-character ticket code to Ticket Window #9. A publication on the Clean Ticket Company Network is called a “bureau.” If this is the bureau that issued your ticket, you only need to enter the last four characters. Otherwise, enter the first three characters by clicking the bureau icon.
4. Click on a price tag to make a purchase.
It appears immediately in a new browser window. Observe your ticket balance by rolling over Ticket Window #9. When you're finished shopping, log out by clicking the logout button.
5. Your browser must allow "pop ups" because this is how we deliver purchased content. For paid tickets, your browser must allow “cookies”, because this is how a single sign-on works for any bureau on the network. You’ll see when there is an active ticket because the background turns from dark to light.
6. There’s no software to download and maintain for the Clean Ticket Company. It works on any internet device.
TICKETS AND CODES
7. To use your ticket, sign in at Ticket Window #9.
Carefully observe each key as you press it.
Upper and lower case letters are not the same.
8. Even the most experienced computer users
often forget the "caps lock" (which makes all
the letters capitals), and "num lock" (or "number
lock") keys. Carefully check your equipment
for an indicator light that shows if these
keys are on. Key names vary.
9. If the code you enter just won't work, go
back and check where you wrote it down originally,
when you purchased your ticket. If you lose
and forget your ticket code, you have lost
any funds remaining on it too.
10. If a ticket has not been used for 24 months,
it becomes a "lost ticket". Unspent funds are
forfeited to the Clean Ticket Company and the ticket
is extinguished.
11. Paid tickets that don't have enough money
result in a price tag showing, "? $". Go to
Ticket Window #1 to add money to your ticket.
Only paid tickets can have money added to them,
up to a maximum of $16.
12. A paid ticket can be used at any web site
participating in the Clean Ticket Company Network. This
program works on any internet device using the
HTML5 Protocol, which all modern devices do.
HOW TO BUY A TICKET
13. Tickets can be purchased online with a
credit card from Ticket Window #1, which is in
the upper right corner of a micropayment page.
Find this page by clicking the “Clean” button
on the publication’s home page; then the “EXIT”
button will take you back.
14. Please make sure to write down your ticket's
unique, 7-character code as soon as you buy it.
The first three characters (called the "prefix")
are the same for all the tickets sold by a
publication.
15. And to help you remember the last four
characters, each has a little picture that goes
along with it. You first see these when you purchase
a ticket, and again when logging in.
16. There can only be one active ticket at a
time, but the same ticket can be used by more
than one person at the same time. Now that you
are a part of the Clean Ticket Company, you assume
responsibility for keeping your code
secret, or trusting others with it.
17. Ticket windows are closed to tickets
having insufficient balance. If you have a
paid ticket, eight dollars can be added to
it (up to $16). Use Ticket Window #1 at any
participating publication's web site.
HOW TO USE A TICKET
18. Each item for sale has a price tag and
description. Also, there is a little number
in a black square beside the price tag.
These "badges" positively identify the item
that is for sale, and it appears again on
purchased content.
Besides the 2-digit badge number, there is
a 3-digit “spot number”, which is the number
of the calendar day it first went online.
19. After buying a badge, the price tag reads,
“OK”. You won’t be charged for a badge that
is already in your Ticket Report.
20. Your purchased item appears immediately
with a colored rectangle on top, which shows
buttons on rollover. Use the “TXT” button to
save the story in text format, which can be
included in emails. If the “Pen” or “ZIP”
buttons are active, click them to download a
file or folder of related content.
21. For purchased stories, you have a choice
of appearance. For example, the button like a
sun or moon sign switches the colors to light
or dark. If the button "S/E" appears, click
it to switch between English and Spanish.
There is also a button to have the story
read to you, in either language.
22. The TICKET REPORT is a record of how your
ticket has been used. It is shown in Ticket
Window #9. To compose, save or clear this
report, use the buttons provided. Click the
left side of an entry to select it, or the
right side to re-load it into a browser window.
23. To jump to a particular badge, enter
its number in the “BADGE” field at the top
of the micropayment page. To obtain again
an item you have recently purchased, click
on its line in the Ticket Report.
24. Please visit CleanMachineNetwork.com, and
read the “2-page Intro”, which explains
more. When the active ticket is paid, you
can also visit and make purchases at other
bureaus by clicking the “ALL” button at
the top of the micropayment page.
MICROPAGO -- COMO FUNCIONA
INSTRUCIONES CORTAS
Obtenga su boleto pagado desde la ventanilla de boletos #1 con una
tarjeta de crédito, o use el "boleto de prueba" que es gratis, si tiene
uno. Boletos pagados cuestan $8 y funcionan en este sitio o cualquier
sitio participante en el Clean Ticket Company Network. No se pueden hacer
reembolsos.
El "boleto de prueba" es distribuido a la discreción de la publicación.
El boleto de prueba solo funciona en el sitio que se lo proporciono. No
funcionan con artículos marcados "Paid Ticket Only" o "Solo Boleto
Pagado".
Boletos pagados cuestan $8, y funcionan en este
sitio que participa en la red The Clean Ticket Company.
Busca la Tecla del logo The Clean Ticket Company.
Boletos gratis solo funcionan en el sitio Web
de la publicación que se emitió.
2. Para registrarse, debe ingresar el código de su
boleto en la Ventana de Boleto #9. Si este es el
sitio web donde inicialmente compro su boleto,
solamente necesita ingresar los últimos cuatro
caracteres.
3. Haga clic en la etiqueta de precio para hacer
una compra. Observe su balance de boleto renovando
en la Ventana de Boletos #9. Cuando termine de
comprar, puede salir del sistema haciendo clic en
el botón de “Log out”, o simplemente puede cerrar la
ventanilla del navegador.
BOLETOS Y CODIGOS
Antes de usar su boleto, ingrese su código en la
Ventanilla #9. Cuidadosamente observe cada tecla
mientras la oprime. Luego oprima la tecla “Enter”.
(ingresa) también se llama la tecla “Return”.
Hasta los usuarios con más experiencia en
computación seguido se olvidan de la tecla “caps lock” (la cual
hace que todas las letras sean mayúsculas), y “num
lock” ( laquear números”). Cuidadosamente revise su
equipo y asegúrese de que la luz indique que estas teclas están
en servicio. El nombre de las teclas varía.
Si el código que ingreso no funciona, regrese y
revise donde lo escribió originalmente, cuando
compro su boleto. Hace la diferencia si una letra es
minúscula o mayúscula.
Si su boleto no ha sido usado en 24 meses perderá
el derecho a los fondos restantes y el boleto será
extinguido. Boletos gratis no funcionaran después
del día de expiración. Además, los boletos gratis
solo funcionan en el sitio web que los expidió. Y
boletos gratis no funcionan si la etiqueta de precio dice, “BOLETO PAGADO SOLAMENTE”.
Boletos gratis o pagados que no tengan suficientes
fondos resultan con una etiqueta que muestra, “?
$”. Vaya a la Ventanilla # 1 para agregar dinero a
su boleto. Solamente a los boletos pagados se les
puede agregar dinero.
Un boleto pagado se puede usar en cualquier sitio
web participante de la red The Clean Ticket Company.
El contenido de nuestros micro-pagos trabaja
prácticamente en cualquier dispositivo de Internet.
COMO COMPRAR UN BOLETO
1. Los boletos se pueden comprar en línea con una
tarjeta de crédito en la Ventanilla de Boletos #1.
Puedes encontrar la Ventanilla de Boleto #1 en
cualquier sitio web (red) participante haciendo
clic en el botón “Clean”.
Todos los boletos vendidos por una publicación
cuestan $8. También puede comprar un boleto de The
Clean Ticket Company por si mismo, en
cleanmachinenetwork.com, pero cuesta $9. Por lo
tanto es mejor comprarlo de una publicación
participante.
2. Por favor asegúrese de escribir el código único
de los siete caracteres de su boleto tan pronto como lo compre,
Los tres `primeros caracteres (llamados “prefijos”) son los
mismos para todos los boletos vendidos por una
publicación.
Y para ayudarle a recordar los últimos cuatro
caracteres, cada uno tiene un pequeño dibujo que va
con el. Estos se pueden ver cuando use la
pantalla completa en la Ventanilla de Boletos #9.
3. Solamente puede haber un boleto que se puede
introducir, pero el mismo boleto puede ser usado por mas
de una persona. Como parte de la red de The Clean Ticket Company,
usted asume la responsabilidad de
mantener sus códigos secretos, o de confiar a otros
con ellos.
4. Los boletos de ventanilla están cerrados a
boletos que tienen un balance insuficiente. Si tiene
un boleto pagado, ocho dólares pueden ser agregados
(hasta llegar a $16). Utilice la Ventanilla de Boleto #1 en
cualquier sitio web de publicaciones participantes.
COMO UTILIZAR UN BOLETO
Cada artículo de venta tiene una etiqueta con un
precio y descripción. Además, hay un número
pequeño en un cuadro negro a un lado de la
etiqueta. Esta “divisa” positivamente identifica
todas las cosas que están en venta.
Después de que haya sometido el código de su boleto
en la Ventanilla de Boletos #9, la etiqueta de
precio gris se vuelve de color. Entonces puedes
hacer clic para hacer la compra. El articulo de su
compra será entregado inmediatamente, en otra
ventanilla nueva.
Si sus artículos comprados tienen un rectángulo de
color en la parte de arriba hay un botón de SAVE (guardar)
para descargar el contenido de tu divisa. Lo puedes
hacer con varias opciones de formatos.
Para historias compradas, tienes la opción de
apariencia. Por ejemplo, un botón con el signo de
el sol o la luna cambia el diseño a claro u
obscuro. Si el botón “S/E” aparece haga clic para
cambiar entre Español y Ingles.
El reporte de boletos o “Ticket Report” es el registro de cómo tu
boleto ha sido usado. Se muestra en La Ventanilla
de Boletos #9. Para guardar o despejar el reporte,
utilice los botones proveídos.
Para obtener de nuevo un artículo que has comprado
recientemente, haz clic en su línea en el Boleto
de Reporte.
