The way you use your time is the way you live your life.
Posted on January 6, 2014, under Time and Technology.
Chrome extensions aim to do just what they say – extend the capacities of your Chrome browser. You can tweak, customize, and make your browsing experience more efficient using these tools.
Here at The Time Finder, we're always looking for tech tools that help you find more time, and some Chrome extensions are more successful at that than others.
If you're a Chrome user, I invite you to review our list and see if any of these extensions pique your interest:
Tomatoes is an extension that encourages you to use the Pomodoro Technique as you work. If you haven't tried this technique, you'll want to consider it for a significant boost to your efficiency and effectiveness.
What Tomatoes does is track your time in 25-minute increments, at the end of which, you take a 5-minute break (also timed by Tomatoes). This is a powerful incentive to stay focused; and the breaks mean that you step away from your work briefly, and come back refreshed and ready to refocus!
In response to feedback from users, the developers of Tomatoes have added a ticking sound which you can turn off or on, depending on your preference. And if you search the Web Store for "Pomodoro Technique" you'll find that there are other Chrome Extensions and Apps to choose from.
Chrome Remote Desktop lets you remotely login to other computers you authorize (if they are running a Chrome web browser). Once connected, you can control the other desktop on your screen. This can be very handy if you have more than one computer and need to access files you left on your PC from your laptop. We are still exploring this Chrome Extension, but it looks like it has a lot of productive possibilities!
Another of the Google Chrome Extensions that can save you time is Gmail Offline, which allows you to keep working in Gmail, even when you don't have connectivity. Here's how they describe it:
Gmail Offline beta is a Gmail app built to support offline access, allowing mail to be read, responded to, searched and archived without network access. After first start-up, Gmail Offline will automatically synchronize messages and queued actions anytime Chrome is running and an Internet connection is available. More than just an offline app, the streamlined user interface, based off Gmail's popular tablet interface, provides extremely fast response time with a pure, email focused experience.
Caught at home in an ice storm with the internet down? Well, with Gmail Offline you'd be able to clean up your Gmail, get mail ready to send, delete spam and unneeded items, and have it all sync with your account as soon as you're back on-line. This has lots of potential as a time-saving tool.
Feedly is the heir-apparent to Google Reader, and is worth checking out if you like using a feed reader. We especially like the ease with which you can subscribe to feeds using Feedly and the friendly display.
Finally, we've been using (and enjoying) FitBolt. This is one of the Chrome Extensions that we wrote about in November. It gives you reminders about health, nutrition, exercise, and posture. The notifications come at intervals you specify and this tool is extremely helpful if you spend long spans of time working at a desk!
I hope that you find these Chrome Extensions intriguing, and would love to hear about tools that you find especially helpful. Share them here and join the discussion!

Those are some handy extensions.. i will give them a try..
#2 fiona maclean - 06 January, 9:05 AM
Gmail offline would be really useful as I use a chromebook when I'm travelling! I'm off to check it out
#3 Paula Eder - 06 January, 9:21 AM
Glad you liked them, Kungphoo! (And I'd love to hear what you think …)
#4 Paula Eder - 06 January, 9:38 AM
Thanks for stopping by, Fiona (and I loved your post about the 5:2 Diet). I'm so glad that Gmail Offline sounded like it might be helpful to you. My VA has used it to de-clutter her mail when offline and swears by it.
#5 Roy A Ackerman PhD EA @cerebrations.biz - 06 January, 9:56 AM
Keep in mind that those chrome extensions use up computing power.
And, if you are like me, with eight to twelve tabs open, your viewing experience is radically altered (read s–l–o–w) with more than one or two extensions and more than three tabs open…
#6 Catherine James - 06 January, 10:12 AM
Wow, glad I read this, there are several items that you mentioned that I want to try. Just got a tablet and Chrome Remote and gmail offline are something that can come in very handy, especially when I'm out and about. I'm always afraid to try something knew on my computers without first reading a little about it.
#7 Paula Eder - 06 January, 11:49 AM
Thanks for stopping by, Roy, and I appreciate the caution. Eight to twelve tabs is a bit more than we tend to have going at one time, but it's an excellent point to keep in mind – so thanks!
#8 Paula Eder - 06 January, 11:54 AM
Hi Catherine –
I'm so glad that you found this helpful! While Chrome Remote works on PC's and Macs … and most likely on Android Tablets, if you have an iPad, these Chrome extensions aren't yet available, form what we can tell. Too bad!
Hope your new tablet is an Android!

'Coalition cynicism exposed' says Owen Smith
Shadow Welsh Secretary Owen Smith MP has claimed that Nick Clegg's decision to oppose cutting the number of MPs has exposed the Coalition's divisions. He has called on Cheryl Gillan to drop her own plans for changing the way that the Assembly is elected.
This exposes what boundary changes were about all along – a cynical attempt from the Tories to gerrymander the results of the next election. In Wales, we were set to lose a quarter of our MPs, more so than anywhere else in the UK, and the Lib Dems were more than content to go along with this. But now the Tories have reneged on Lords reform, Nick Clegg has delivered the latest in a long line of government u-turns.
– Shadow Welsh Secretary Owen Smith MP
It's almost beyond belief that the Coalition can treat such important constitutional issues with a complete absence of principle. They're in total disarray and this open warfare between the two Coalition parties ill-serves our national interest. I trust that Cheryl Gillan – who has treated constitutional issues with similar disdain – will now also drop her own disgraceful attempt to rig the electoral map in Wales and I, along with the First Minister, am writing to her to demand that she do so.

I have not wavered in my belief that the Packers are destined for Arlington, Tex. two Sundays from now. What I have wavered on a great deal this week, however, is their likely margin of victory later today over a Bears team that I have had an admittedly hard time figuring out the more I have studied them.
Early in the week, my instincts were telling me that the Packers, who just have so much momentum at the moment, would win rather convincingly. But as the week has worn on — having taken a closer look at these teams' recent matchups — I don't think a blowout is in the offing by any means.
But I do think the Packers' receiving corps has an edge over a Bears secondary that could be missing a key cog in S Chris Harris. And that could be enough to enable Green Bay to cover the spread — just barely.
Prediction: Packers 24, Bears 20

Town Acquires Great Neck Arts Center
The Town of North Hempstead board voted Tuesday night to acquire the Great Neck Arts Center's facility to the tune of $800,000. Supervisor Jon Kaiman explained that the center will become the Gold Coast Arts Center and that the acquisition for $800,000 is for a $3 million building. The Town is acquiring a 4,800 square-foot condo and a 5,200 square-foot condo.
Construction has already begun on a new roof for the Long Island Ducks' hurricane-damaged ballpark even as Suffolk County Legislators await a vote on funding the fix. The roof of the 6,000-seat Bethpage Ballpark in Central Islip is nearly 13 years old and was in need of repair before the storm, according to Suffolk Legis. Rick Montano, D-Brentwood. Just three weeks after the independent baseball team clinched the second Atlantic League championship in franchise history, Sandy tore through the region and damaged the stadium roof, which hangs over several sections of seating. Montano is co-sponsoring a resolution to allocate $600,000 from the facility's capital improvement fund for the repair. The budget committee approved the move. It should go to a vote next Tuesday.

One of many reasons you're probably attracted to Surfside Beach is that there are no high rise buildings to detract from the pleasant beach village atmosphere. However, not many of the condo buildings have elevators. South Shores II is a great small complex that has an elevator, and carts to making unloading so much easier. Better yet, this beautifully redecorated condo is on the first floor, just a few steps up, if you don't like waiting for elevators.
Enjoy a real beach vacation feeling from the spacious first floor balcony. Relax inside the comfortably furnished living room after full vacation days, take in some TV on the large flat screen from two recliners and a large sofa. The kitchen has new granite countertops on lots of preparation space, with a full complement of pots, pans, appliances and utensils.
The large bathroom has a long, wide vanity with a new granite countertop and two sinks. The shower is in a separate room and has a new enclosure, faucet and shower head. Both bedrooms access the bathroom from a private hallway. The master bedroom has a queen size bed and a flat screen TV. The second bedroom has twin beds.
South Shores II has a full size swimming pool just off the beach. There are plenty of lounge chairs, it won't be crowded with only 16 units in the complex. If you like to barbecue, there are two grills near the pool, and a poolside picnic table. There are two parking places per condo at South Shores II. The soft warm sand of Surfside Beach is a short stroll from the pool deck.

Cute and more comfy than expected
"I bought this for a wedding I attended on 4/27/13 and wore it again 2 weeks later. You can have a good 5 hrs of standing and dancing in these shoes. It fits true to size, except I had to push my toes to the front so that I can slide the strap on in the back. I wear a regular size 8. I plan to wear them again on 5/16/13 to a graduation. I get alot of wears out of this pair"

WotLK Healing Compendium v3.3.5: Fun in the Twilight with Halion
Posted 07 September 2010 - 09:33 PM
Ever since the change by Blizz to have our shield glyph heals accurately affected by Divine Aegis, DA's healing has subsequently gone up, making crit seem even more appealing.
Posted 07 September 2010 - 09:55 PM
By the way, the stats and spellpower won't make up the difference 5% bigger shields will do. However if you're a tank healing Disc priest or a second Disc priest in the raid, I suppose the haste and crit would be far better.
Everyone should start from the same place and rise based on their abilities, desires, and schedule. No one plays MMOs to *be* powerful, they play MMOs to *become* powerful. It's the journey, stupid. The rarer loot is, the more cherished it is when you get it, but only so long as there is a reasonable expectation to get it. The rarer loot is, the better it feels when you kill a boss or when $AWESOME_TRINKET drops.

There should be a formula that shows where the benefits change based on your spell usage. For instance, the critical rating conversion is 45.906, while the haste rating conversion is 32.79. So, assuming (falsely) that the throughput increase are the same, haste is already 40% better per rating.
However, for direct heals, Haste gives a flat 1% increase per percentage. Critical gives less, since a critical heal is 1.5 times larger than a normal heal instead of twice as large. I believe that Divine Aegis makes this 1.9. For shielding, haste gives 0 value, and critical gives an increase that is 1.9*20% of your shield value (Power Word: Shield glyph heal).
Perhaps one of the more advanced statistical mathematicians here can confirm the formula that shows at what ratio of direct heals to shields does haste come out as the throughput winner for Discipline priests. This is particularly relevant for Halion if you are the 'upstairs' healer, and a large portion of your heals are direct heals on the tank.

In my final revision to the guide, I have appended a new section that contains my notes regarding which guide section needs some work, needs to be rewritten or might still be usable (I was actually surprised there are such sections). If a new guide author wishes to discuss that list, please use PM - expect this thread to be locked pretty soon.
The simple fact is this. We are told to concentrate more. But we can only do that if we are allowed to go considerably faster.

SFMTA Board approves tech shuttle plan
The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency Board of directors approved a pilot program today that allows operators of private commuter shuttles to use public bus stops, something they've been doing illegally for years on a very predictable basis.
The program will establish an "approved network" of 200 designated San Francisco stops where private shuttles may pick up and drop off passengers. It will issue permits and identifying placards to the private buses and require them to adhere to certain set of rules, like yielding to Muni buses if they approach the stop at the same time. (There's already a Curb Priority Law stating that any vehicles not operated by Muni will be fined $271 for blocking a bus zone. But the city has chosen to ignore that law when it comes to private commuter shuttles.)
Finally, the program will charge shuttle operators $1 per stop per day, which covers the costs of the program implementation and no more.
The meeting drew a very high turnout that included the protesters who have been blockading the buses, Google employees, private commuter shuttle drivers, and residents of various San Francisco neighborhoods.
Sup. Scott Wiener spoke at the beginning of the meeting, saying he was fully supportive of the pilot program, which was developed over the course of many months in collaboration with tech companies who operate the shuttles.
"These shuttles are providing a valuable service," Wiener said. He said he was sensitive to widespread "frustration and anxiety" around the high cost of housing and rising evictions, but thought it was unfair to blame tech workers. "We need to stop demonizing these shuttles and these tech workers," Wiener said.
Then Sup. David Campos addressed the board. "I think it's really important for us to have a dialogue to find common ground," Campos said, adding that pushing shuttle riders into private automobiles was not a good outcome. But he also urged the SFMTA board to send the proposal back to the drawing board. "It's a proposal that simply does not go far enough," he said.
Campos was also critical of the SFMTA's process of studying the growing private shuttle problem for years, drafting a proposal in collaboration with members of the tech community, and waiting until the eleventh hour once the plan had already been formulated to seek comment from community members who are impacted.
"Public input is being sought after the fact," he said.
That feeling of being frozen out of the process was echoed in comments voiced throughout the public comment session, which went on for hours.
"I'm opposed to the $1 charge," one woman said. "I believe it's way, way, way too low." She told a story of receiving a ticket for being parked in a bus zone very briefly. "It wasn't a $1 ticket," she said.
Another woman, who said she was born and raised in SF, said she'd been riding Muni since she was in diapers. "It makes me really sad that we have regional shuttles and corporations that are saying, you can't just fix that system, we're going to go around it," she said. She urged members of the transit agency board to find a better system that would work for everyone, "because you are in charge."
A Google employee told board directors that she is very pleased that the shuttles have made it possible for her to live in San Francisco. "Not everyone at Google is a billionaire," she said. "Ten years after the fact I am still paying my student loans. This is a choice, I know, to live in San Francisco and commute to Mountainview. But I wouldn't have it any other way."
Her perspective, however, came in sharp contrast to that of Roberto Hernandez, who spoke on behalf of Our Mission No Eviction and said he was worried that displacement caused by rising rents have forced many members of his community to move to the East Bay.
Hernandez also brought up a little-known consequence of transit delays caused by private shuttle buses.
In the elementary schools near 24th Street in the Mission, he said, "They have the breakfast program for people who are low-income. So if you show up late, you don't get breakfast."
Here's Hernandez addressing the SFMTA board members.
In the end, the transit directors approved the pilot with very little discussion. "At the end of the day, this is before us as a transit issue," said board member Malcolm Heinicke. "And we're better with something than nothing."
Because your life may depend on it.
Wouldn't you agree?
I guess you'd also agree that black people should be classified as non-humans, because that's essentially what you're saying.
I didn't say anything about blacks. I said some classes of people commit more crime and you jumped to the assumption that that meant blacks.
Interesting stereotype.
the the shooting cop yesterday used bad judgement. Care to argue? You almost never pass one up no matter how obvious or trivial.
You do not know. You're just fishing because you see the chance of a cheap dig at the cops. As I said, you said nothing when there was a murder at the Occupy camp.
If the investigation shows that the shooting cop used good judgement, I predict you will also claim you know my opinions about other unrelated topics.
So judgments are premature.
California police have routinely used the term NHI to refer to black-on-black crime. The question asked was what does that say about the police, when they refer to certain races as sub-human?
Your answer was supportive of their stratification of society that way, on the grounds that they're "chasing after crooks and thugs." Your answer right now is further dog whistle politics. You dance around the issue, all but explicitly stating that you too think blacks are subhuman.
So what kind of people think of whole races, whole categories of society as subhuman? One could make the argument that such people are themselves less than human, because they lack something that makes us human: empathy. Which might make this kind of a case one of the few true NHI cases out there.
The felony-murder rule is one of the worst laws ever made, because it's just asking for abuse. If the cops want to kill two birds with one stone, all a cop has to do is murder someone -the partner of the suspect, an innocent bystander, anyone. The cop gets off scot free, and the suspect is charged with murder. Gotta love the US justice system.
Of course this case would be unusual since it was a fellow cop. Maybe he didn't like the guy. What better way to get rid of one of your coworkers than to claim it was an "accident" AND have someone else charged with murder at the same time!
have not been published.
Either that or you just hate cops. Oh wait . .
I don't know any of the details. It's just idle speculation based on the posts above. That doesn't make it "hate." That said, as more details come out, it seems that it is a real case, and I do hope the perpetrator of the murder gets locked up for a very long time. For the sake of the grieving family of the innocent victim, who happens to be a cop. See how much I care about cops?
What I do fear, however, is that the cops and DA will somehow try to trigger the felony-murder rule. *If* they do that, that would be a real travesty of justice, because clearly a suspect that has been in custody since Thursday could in no possible way have contributed to the murder of this innocent cop. I think we can all agree that this would be another horrible abuse of this terrible law, and I hope they don't even try, but knowing the system, I fear they will. They should concentrate on putting away the real cop-killing perp. If I were the family of the innocent victim, I'd want nothing less than the same kind of justice that the system dispenses to any other cop-killer.
of people (cops) then it rises to the level of hate, or at least prejudice.
Mere idle speculation would have a more even distribution of views.
BTW, someone in prison can still initiate crimes so that may not be relevant.
"when mere "idle speculation" is consistently against one class of people (cops) then it rises to the level of hate, or at least prejudice."
I'm defending the innocent cop who got shot, and calling for justice for his murder. But I don't always defend cops. When they're wrong, I have been known to criticize them on occasion.
"BTW, someone in prison can still initiate crimes so that may not be relevant. "
So you're saying that this suspect caused the killer to shoot his partner from custody? Wow, that's quite the conspiracy theory there. You must really hate cops to go to such lengths to deny this innocent cop's family the justice they deserve. This is a cop-killing, and the perpetrator of this horrible crime must be brought to justice. Not someone else, but the perpetrator. Nothing less.
close the barn door on that.
Re the other, Greg, you have rarely seen an issue where you cannot concoct a bizarre conspiracy theory, so you should have no problem here. But my point was rather your flawed observation that because someone is in custody, that they somehow could not instigate a criminal act.
But sadly, only in your own mind.
Why do you hate cops so much that you're willing to concoct the most bizarre conspiracy theories I've ever heard, in order to prevent a cop-killer from facing justice?
(or even, as in this case, when there is not) you always need no excuse to write thousands of words endlessly obfuscating, and invariably taking pot shots at the justice system.
It is way too late to dig yourself out of this one. But I'll agree that you're only a legend in a highly undesirable way. But hey, at least someone here is paying attention to you, if only to expose and debunk you.
The MTA is not elected. They are appointed by Ed Lee. And not to channel my inner Matlock here, but one reason for that is that various anti-car special interests have resisted reforms to make the MTA more responsive. Ask the SFBC if they want an elected MTA. That's anathema to them, because they realize that some of the proposals that the anti-car people want are going to be hugely unpopular. More bike lanes, better MUNI... that's stuff we can find broad agreement on. But when they start pushing things like Sunday and evening meters, more police crackdowns, and things like that, there's no way you're going to get that through a body that's actually responsive to the people. So they prefer a body that's NOT responsive to the people.
But then why should we be surprised when "After sitting through hours of commentary in which people said the pilot was a bad idea, the SFMTA board approved it." Um... hello! These guys don't care about the public and their comments. They serve at the pleasure of one man, and progressives are partly to blame for this one.
"Um... hello! These guys don't care about the public and their comments."
No they don't, you're correct and the same for the Board of Supervisors. They waste hours listening to "public comments" and then turn around and vote in the opposite direction of what most people said during the comments time (because Board members had already decided how they plan to vote before the "public comments" charade). The "public comments" time is merely a charade to give the appearance of "democracy." Why even have it. It's useless.
The kind of people who show up for these meetings are extremists and always sing the same song.
The silent majority are fine with these buses and with tech, but would never bother going to a city hall meeting to say so.
The Supes are smart enough to ignore the extremists. They talk to real people the rest of the time. It's always amusing to watch the Supes roll their eyes while the crazy mob have their 2 minutes of whinery.
I've talked to supes who have admitted they changed their vote based on public comment. Perhaps it doesn't happen too often, because some supes go in there with more of an open mind than others. I think the issue matters too in terms of how open the supe will be. And half the time the public comment bolsters what the supe believes anyway. But it absolutely does happen that certain supes change their minds on certain issues. And it may only take one or two votes to change the outcome on a controversial issue.
As for the argument that public comment is unrepresentative... maybe, but it's much more representative than the methods that the elites employ to influence the supes. Public comment is part of democracy. It's a way for the people to come out and influence their elected officials, whom the elected officials are supposed to represent anyway. Sure, those who care deeply about an issue are more likely to show up, but that's true of democracy in general. At least it's all out in the open, on public TV. Unlike the wining and dining and lobbying of the elites that goes on in the shadows.
1,000 landlords complain. Rigid ideologs like Avalos and Campos are probably the least likely to be swayed by public comment.
I'd agree that the Supes listen to their constituents. After all, they want to be popular and to be re-elected. But that means the more normal day-to-day kind of interaction with residents that someone like Wiener does a really good job of.
If he hears a rabble crowing about Google (as i imagine was the case yesterday) then he knows that is not a representative group. More generally the anti-shuttle crowd tend to be more passionate and zealous, while the pro-shuttle folks are hardly likely to feel strongly enough about it to show up.
Supes are good at knowing when the comments they hear at meetings are representative, and when they are just the hollow rants of an extremist fringe group.
Is another man's constituency. If you serve only the 1%, then everybody else looks like rabble.
1000 landlords will never show up to public comment. That's not the way they operate. They prefer private meetings where their message doesn't have to compete with someone else's, backed up by a check quietly slipped into the campaign coffers (on a different day of course, totally unrelated to what the landlord wants of course).
Even so, some supes can't be bought. Avalos and Campos are primarily there to serve the masses. Their base is in the working class. Weiner's is with the elites and corporations. That's all good and well, but there are far more working class folks than 1%-ers, and in San Francisco far more tenants than landlords. So what Weiner is doing is not what democracy is all about.
Wiener sometimes goes with the liberal view, sometimes with a more conservative view. That's because he listens and then decides.
It's Avalos and Campos who always side with the unions and non-profits, never considering the issues or the voters, and blindly following their ideology.
A crowd would show up at a meeting after blocking a bus can reasonably be described as a rabble. Our duly elected and appointed city officers rightly dismissed them as the rabble that they were.
Avalos and Campos are already ideological and SEIU owned.
Just as Bush 2 was owned by Jesus and the oil industry.
SEIU and the oil industry may not directly hand out money, although I wouldn't put it past them. A right wing Jesus and progressive single mindedness share the same pathology of thinking, no one who follows both blindly is getting paid off in money, but in the currency of self righteousness.
Because Avalos and Campos toe the true believer line uniformly people think they are free thinkers for some reason. It's like being a follower of Ayn Rand and thinking your group is full of individual thinkers.
Avalos an ex SEIU flunky is there to serve the masses and the working class. I doubt the working class in the city have much interest in subservient SEIU politics.
Because their position on EVERY issue is entirely predictable.
At Weiner is interesting.
position they want to take on an issue. Rather they simply consult the ideological cookbook prepared for them by the city family and vote accordingly.
You could replace them with a laptop programmed with a politically correct checklist and nobody would notice the difference.
The latino community in the Mission have a lot of racists in their ranks. They want to keep the Mission ethnically pure, meaning most people there are poor and lower middle class Latinos. They don't even want tech latinos there, latinos that can set an example to kids. Be a programmer, not a drug dealer, not someone that is an "activist" their whole life.
Does anyone care...?
Google program manager Crystal Sholts at SFMTA hearing on shuttle buses: "I'm not a billionaire"
No, but you and your husband (partner at law firm Keker & Van Nest) are probably millionaires
I wondered why she said 'billionaires' and not 'millionaires'
(and if not actual millionaires, certainly much bettor off financially than most people "still paying off my student loans")
It just means you own your home.
Kids can be late for a multitude of reasons. Take an earlier bus!
would be moot anyway.

Further consultation needed on markets' future
5:38pm Saturday 8th February 2014 in News
A REVIEW into the future of four Pembrokeshire County Council-run markets is to be discussed at a cabinet meeting next Monday (February 10).
In December cabinet approved a review into the markets at Haverfordwest, Tenby, Fishguard and Pembroke Dock.
A report by the council's director of development will call on cabinet to defer the final report of the indoor markets until the end of March 2014.
It states: "The level of consultation requested locally for each market has varied considerably and is ongoing.
"This consultation, to date, has been very informative and it is clear that further consultation will be required before the review can be concluded."
An ongoing consultation with traders, town teams, town councils, commercial organisations and the community is not expected to finish until the end of February.

Some of the best wines in 2013 were some of the best values of 2012 and should remain so.
Here's a watch list for the months ahead. Be patient because even bargain wines are sold at a discount from time to time:
California, Washington, Oregon
Yes, you can afford a bottle from Caymus Vineyards for less than $60, the only thing is it will have to be a white. Conundrum, a blend of four white grapes, is an excellent value at $15-$17. Citrusy crisp, this is a good sipper to start the evening or to enjoy with seafood and spicy dishes ... Looking for something complex and intriguing? Try Uvaggio Vermentino from Lodi ($14) with light fare ... If you see the "River Road" label on a Chardonnay, buy it. These Russian River Valley gems, creamy and oaky, sell for half the price of big name products, from $15.99 to $19.99 ... Annabella Chardonnay, at $13, is a palate pleaser as is Kendall Jackson's budget-friendly Avant Chardonnay ($15) ... Zocker Paragon Vineyard took a gamble on Gruner Veltliner ($20) and won with a clean, refreshing drink ... Louis M. Martin Wineries is as consistent as they come in producing quality cabernet sauvignon at all price levels. Look for a sale price of $19.99 on the Napa Valley ... One of my favorites is Liberty School Cabernet of Paso Robles. It's a "best buy" in numerous wine magazines and for good reason. It's dry, elegant and pleasurable at $12 .
Oregon and Washington vintners are attaining great success with brands from Eola Hills, Dundee Hills, Willamette Valley, and Columbia Valley. These regions are sizzling with most varietals, and my favorites are the dry Rieslings -- Argyle ($18), Pacific Rim ($11), Firesteed ($12), Hogue ($8) and the impressive Chehalem ($24) and Eroica ($24)... Jones of Washington Estates set the pace with its tropical flavored 2011 Pinot Gris ($12) and StoneCap did the same with its estate-grown Syrah ($8). StoneCap also produces inexpensive, top-quality Chardonnay, Riseling and Merlot in the $10-$15 range.
Italian winemakers take a back seat to no one, and there are some great offers you just can't refuse among the thousands of brands on the market ... The 2007 Frescobaldi Nipozzano Riserva (Chianti Rufina) was an incredible buy at $22 in 2012 and Wine Enthusiast ranked it No. 1 on its 2011 must-have list. There is still some of it around ... Very rarely can you buy a solid Brunello di Montalcino below $40, but you you get an incredible taste of the sangiovese grape in the Capanne Ricci Rosso di Montalcino ($15). A case of this in the cellar is as good as gold ... Not too far behind is the Caprilli Rosso di Montalcino ($15) ... The Nero D'Avola grape is one of my favorites and Stemmari Sicilia produces a fine arancia grillo (dry citrus) flavor that is sensational. It costs $9 ... Wine Spectator ranked the 2010 Folonari Chianti ($9) as one of its top wines in 2012 ... The Robert Anselmi unoaked white from the Veneto ($13), a blend of Chardonnay, Sauvigon Blanc and Garganega; the Michele Chiarlo Barbera d'Asti Superiore ($15), and the Machesi di Barolo Barbera ($12) were also ranked among the best on WS's list ... The 2007 Valdisanti (Tolaini, $36), is a Super Tuscan that exudes quality and is my personal favorite.

Goodbye "purity", and good riddance.
Anonymous asked: A little over a year ago, I was raped by a good friend who I thought was a Godly man. Now I'm not sure how to tell a future boyfriend about the loss of my purity, or how it will affect our relationship. How would I go about talking to him? Sexual purity has always been a big deal to me, and I don't want to disappoint my future husband.
Unka Glen answered: That does it. [blowing loud whistle] Alright, everyone out of the pool. It's over. This "purity" thing? That's over. We're done. No mas. Has anybody out there had an impure thought, an impure sexual desire, or wandered over to a website you shouldn't have? Okay, I see everyone's hand. NONE of us is pure. None. So, WE ARE NOT USING THIS WORD ANY MORE.
Tell me, my sister, who it was that told you that you would "disappoint" your husband because of something that SOMEONE ELSE did that somehow makes YOU impure? Give me the name, give me the address, because me and a vanload of the brothers from my day job are going to "lay hands" on somebody.
Don't ever let anyone talk to you like that. And don't let the enemy even finish his sentence when he tries to put that thought in your head. Find your pastor and tell him, we don't need to hear about protecting a perfection or a purity that none of us has (Romans 3:23), we need to hear from you about boundaries, and about healing from mistakes we've made, and especially (in this case) about healing from mistakes that others have made towards us.
This is the thing with bad doctrine, it starts out with an idea that you wouldn't think to reject, like purity. Purity is good, you should be pure. And you say, "right on, sounds good." But purity is the unattainable goal of perfection we strive for, to think of purity as something that anyone (other than Jesus) is actually walking around with, that's just bad doctrine, plain and simple.
At best, this "purity" talk inspires pride in people for doing nothing, and at worst, it condemns people in a way Jesus NEVER would.
Ministry isn't about merely telling people: here is the ideal, live up to that (Luke 11:46). It's about saying: we're all imperfect and impure, and we're all dealing with problems… some problems we created, and some were handed to us, but let me show you the road back to good spiritual health. Your future husband, I promise you, will be dealing with his own past. And of all the things that might make you impure my sister, you being raped is NOT one of them. Period. The End.
Any man who would reject you because of something like this, is someone you shouldn't associate with, let alone date. Sexual assault is part of my wife's public testimony, and I can tell you without ANY hesitation that I NEVER felt anything but love and sympathy for her past, and nothing but admiration and respect for the courageous woman she is today.
She deserves nothing less.
Amen, amen, and amen.
If this was a boxing match against the devil, the devil got KO'ed in the first ten seconds.

The first buffalo calf of the spring, a bull calf, in Custer State Park was spotted on Tuesday. It was found by park staff near the Wildlife Station Visitor Center off the Wildlife Loop Road, on the east side of the park.
The park has about 850 head of bison going into the spring and is expecting around 400 calves. The herd size should be around 1,250 at the Annual Buffalo Roundup in September.
"Spring is a great time to view wildlife in the park," said Chad Kremer, buffalo herd manager. "Deer, antelope, turkey and buffalo can be seen throughout the park right now, and sharp-tailed grouse are strutting on their leks."
Visitors are advised to leave buffalo calves alone. It can be dangerous to approach baby animals, particularly buffalo calves. If a mother buffalo feels she or her calf is threatened, she may charge. "Occasionally, people will think a buffalo calf has been orphaned and try to rescue it," said Kremer. "This is rarely true; buffalo may roam up to one mile from their calves and come back later for them."
Most buffalo calves are born in May, but a few arrive near the end of March, like this little fellow, into early April at Custer State Park.
For additional information on Custer State Park, please contact the park at 605-255-4515 or visit www.custerstatepark.com.

Magic mouthwash is the term given to a solution used to treat mouth sores (oral mucositis). Oral mucositis can be extremely painful and can result in an inability to eat, speak or swallow. Magic mouthwash may be used to treat mouth sores that result from some forms of chemotherapy and radiation therapy.
There are several versions of magic mouthwash. Some are available pre-mixed (First-Mouthwash BLM, First-BXN Mouthwash, others), while others are prepared to order by pharmacists. If it's determined that magic mouthwash might be helpful, your doctor will likely write a prescription listing the ingredients and the amount of each. Magic mouthwash usually contains at least three of these basic ingredients:
Most formulations of magic mouthwash are intended to be used every four to six hours, and to be held in your mouth for one to two minutes before being either spit out or swallowed. It's recommended that you don't eat or drink for 30 minutes after using magic mouthwash so that the medicine has time to produce an effect.
It's unclear how effective magic mouthwash is in treating oral mucositis. That's because of the lack of standardization in the formulations of mouthwash, and poorly designed studies done to gather data. If you have mouth sores that cause you pain and discomfort, talk with your doctor.
Side effects of magic mouthwash may include problems with taste, a burning or tingling sensation in the mouth, drowsiness, constipation, diarrhea, and nausea.

Previewing the 2012 NCAA Baseball Tournament with the Los Angeles Regional, which features UCLA, San Diego, New Mexico and Creighton.
The NCAA awarded UCLA a Regional host spot for the 2011 postseason, but now the Bruins look at what could be when Selection Monday comes around.
UCLA punches their ticket to the Super Regionals with a 6-2 win over UCI
If there were any questions about how the inexperienced Bruins would deal with the postseason pressure, they answered them quickly and then some. From the very beginning, the talent gap between the...
For the first time since 1986, UCLA will host a NCAA Regional and they weren't cheated out of high quality competition with LSU, UC Irvine and Kent St. joining the Bruins in the Los Angeles...
After Great Regular Season, UCLA head baseball coach John Savage Turns Attention To Postseason.
We have TV! Cox Sports will be televising the Los Angeles Regional and for those of you without CST, there should be streams available.— Ryan Rosenblatt (@RyeUCLAbaseball) June 1, 2010
Here's a snippet of the press release: "The exclusive television rights to the 2010 Los Angeles NCAA Baseball Regional has been awarded to Cox Sports Television (CST) and Jumbo Sports Network, as announced by the NCAA today. The LSU Tigers (40-20), entering as the region's #2 seed, will face #3 seed UC Irvine (37-19), top seeded UCLA (43-13) and Kent State (39-23) in a double-elimination tournament. The games will be Friday, Saturday, Sunday at 4pm and 8pm central time each day and then a "if necessary" game on Monday at 8pm. LSU and UC Irvine will kick off the regional with the first game of the day on Friday. The games will be seen exclusively across the CST Network covering nearly 2 million homes across 7 southern states." CST is LSU's network so getting the Tigers out here pays dividends. Without them there is no TV. For those of you without CST (and that's probably most of us), the games should be streamed online. In the past it has sometimes been streamed on the Official Sites, but if not channelsurfing.net should definitely have it.

Free admission, art, and film on the first Friday of the month at The Noguchi Museum.
First Fridays at The Noguchi MuseumThe Noguchi Museum (9-01 33rd Road, Long Island City, NY) Map it Free
The final program in The Noguchi Museum's "First Fridays" summer series of special evening hours (5–8 pm), free admission, art, and film takes place on September 6, with a screening of the film 16 Acres. The first film to explore the inside story of the rebuilding of the World Trade Center site—one of the most architecturally, politically, and emotionally complex urban renewal projects in modern history—16 Acres attempts to reveal why it has taken so long to complete the project. Filmmakers Richard Hankin, Matt Kapp, and Mike Marcucci met with key players behind the development and present the story through a series of first-person narratives.
The film screening begins at 7 pm and is presented in collaboration with the Architecture & Design Film Festival. "First Fridays" also feature "Center of Attention"—a guided discussion of a single work of art on view—and will focus on Isamu Noguchi's basalt sculpture Break Through Capestrano (1982), beginning at 6 pm. A cash bar with wine and beer begins at 5:30 pm.

CHICAGO (AP) - Gov. Pat Quinn has named seven people to a panel that will review applications for permits to carry concealed firearms.
The Chicago Democrat appointed members of the Concealed Carry Licensing Review Board Friday. The board will consider any objections of an applicant's eligibility for a permit filed by the Illinois State Police or local law enforcement agency.
The Illinois Legislature approved the law allowing public possession of guns earlier this year, after a federal judge ordered the state to do so.
The law requires the formation of the licensing review board. It says members should come from across the state and have judicial, legal, mental health and investigative experience.
The members will serve until Jan. 12, 2015. After that date, terms will last four years.

Town Square
A taxing situation

Although hard on families, I believe that we need to do whatever is needed to ensure Pleasanton continues to provide unparalleled quality of education.
With so many cities in the bay area suffering under similar or worse conditions and the real estate market down, this will be a breakaway opportunity for Pleasanton.
IF we as a community can band together for the next few years, we can make pleasanton *THE family friendly* city of the bay area. This is one city that will do right by the families and come together to ensure that children and education is the top priority.
If we can pull this off, I'm convinced we will recover our $200/year as soon as the economy recovers. The foundation quality education will provide our children will be repayment enough. Add to that the appreciation in house prices after economic recovery when families would want to rush in and call Pleasanton their home - because of Pleasanton's commitment to families and education.
Unprecedented circumstances demand unprecedented resolve. Pleasanton can do this and come out of this phase as a stronger community.

This thread is redundant. There are 91 posts on the original one.
For many years parents go through the lower grades with blissful ignorance. We believe the poor school district mantra. We pay, and pay, and pay, then we begin to understand that they just need us to pay for our kids supplies so they can suck all of our tax money into their pockets. I began to realize I was paying for my kids glue-stick so the superintendent could go out to lunch on the district expense account. When the principal suggested we should bring the toilet paper it was clear their goal was to get parents to cover all operational costs.
I reached my limit. No Parcel Tax!
on Feb 22, 2009 at 11:00 pm
You da man or woman. Every year we pay for our kids supplies then another check for other costs. I remember when I was in elementary school during the Carter years. You think times are tough now you should have seen it then. Oh wait, they're just around the corner but it will be called the Failed Obama Presidency. Elections have consequences.

Ginger Leaf Cutouts Recipe
My father enjoyed these cookies with apple cider when he returned home from hunting on Thanksgiving morning. I like to decorate them with colored sugar.
- 1 cup shortening
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 cup molasses
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
- 5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2-1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- In a large bowl, cream shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg. Beat in molasses and vinegar. Combine the flour, ginger, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well.
- Divide dough into fourths. Wrap each portion in plastic wrap; refrigerate for 4 hours or until easy to handle.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out one portion of dough at a time to 1/8-in. thickness. Cut with floured 3-in. leaf-shaped cookie cutters. Place 1 in. apart on greased baking sheets. With a sharp knife, score veins in leaves.
- Bake at 375° for 6-8 minutes or until edges are firm and lightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool. Store in an airtight container. Yield: 5 dozen.

Treasure Finds and Stories
The ring found today is a small ladies ring, nice and thin but came up nice and clear on the detector....
I had the opportunity to do some testing yesterday with Minelab's newest SDC 2300. I need to log more hours on the unit, but thus far I can say I am impressed. I took it to one of my old nugget patches here in central AZ that has been walked across many times before. This particular spot has some really nasty sections of mineralized ground which is a mixture of red clay, granites, schist, and lots of surface ironstone. I started off with the Mode Switch in the 2 position and had zero trouble getting a ground balance. I kept pushing the level until I hit a 4....
(1) colonial era 5 penny weight apothecary with
a clenched fist mark
(2) colonial era charm with 5 penny
weight symbol in center and clenched
fist hanging from the bottom, found in two
(3) colonial era silver religious pendent .
and hit the beach with the Etrac for my first class ring ......

Q&A: Ben Evans
What brands are you behind and what year did they launch?
It all began back in 2005 when a friend and I launched a party called Interview. The object of Interview's conception came about when there was quite a significant gap for the kind of music we wanted to get down to, that kind of music would later be defined as 'party prog,' a genre coined by the master of trendsetting itself, Mr Jules Plees. The industry didn't really have all that many smaller, consistent nights on a monthly basis hosting the sounds we were representing, namely, progressive, techno and trance, with a fair dollop of minimal, electro and breaks thrown in for good measure on occasion. Interview was born and later became a fast favourite amongst our family, it was the no-bullshit house party vibe that was geared to get your groove on, in a big way – with lock-ins, ridiculous drink specials, local and international guests such as Andy Moor, Martin Roth, Kuffdam and Plant, Jaytech and many more, including Jager laybacks and turntables!
Interview formed the basis for what was quickly migrating into our trance family's prosperous music future, supporting some of the world's biggest events, bringing the Gatecrasher Global Sound System tour to Australia in 2006 featuring John 00 Fleming, Gareth Emery, Dave Lee, Norman Jay and many more. With VIP and additional rooms hosted at GodsKitchen, Pharmacy Events, Transmission Events, Sensation New Years Eve, Belfast, Kryal Castle's Ultraworld, Earthcore, Apollo New Years Day, Airport Events, Anjunadeep Album Launch - Rooftop Event, Antix Album launch, Infected Mushroom Tours and Valentines Day boat parties, all forming the binding ingredients that make up Interview's universal portfolio of musical and event achievement. A huge amount of love and attention went into each and every part of the crew, and its resurgence into the Melbourne industry with Oliver Lieb later this year will be one incredible re-launch we can't wait to get down to.
After Interview's dance-floors were forged our crew formed a new love for psychedelic music and began exploring some alternate and artistic avenues, not to say that current music or arts initiatives were not booming, as they very much were, but the constant quest for the next captivating rhythm snagged our attention on what was being played up at the Rainbow Serpent Festival around 2007 - 2008. Swept up in the magic of the dancefloor and the mystery of the mayhem, a new infatuation was born, a limitless journey through an entirely new culture for us. It was something that demanded our immediate attention, and as a musician this soundscape engulfed me and challenged everything I loved about music. It delivered a whole new bag of psychedelic goodness, one that we had no idea would take us on a path of incredible excitement.
Something had to be done, so we began adding a little bit here and there to our Interview events, testing the boundaries of our beloved audience, and eventually splitting the concepts into two entities, this is where Interview's sister-session Colour of Sound was summoned. Colour of Sound was an avenue where we could explore and experiment with our ideas and sounds, bringing together premier psychedelic musicians, performers, productions, decor, themes and every bit of amazing technology we could muster in the one experience to create our very first arts/technology focussed heavy session for the masses. What later happened resulted in an incredible series of eventing. Colour of Sound, Interview and our newly formed Artifact Creative Bookings Agency form the backbone of our additions to the world stage and our Australian representation.
Stepping into an electric wonderland, our events take both body and spirit on a journey, exploring emotion and creating connection and togetherness. We welcome you to experience a celebration of life, the way we like to express it! And partake in a global celebration of unity, we are the Australian family and together climbing the Tree of Life, a global movement to which will expand and enrich our developing cultures all throughout the world and all as one united experience. Exciting times, that's for sure!
How'd you get into it?
I had a barrage of ideas and concepts that I had to fly somewhere, and at the time, no-one seemed all that interested in pushing the boundaries at their events or really supporting new and interesting talent, and as such I had no real platform in which to create these spaces and experiences and to advance as a musician. So I went at it and haven't looked back since. I found to really embrace the many cultures and tastes of our Australian industry we have to look outside the square in every aspect and rather than sticking to the same old formula and expectation of events, look for that special something that will form one of those 'WTF' dance floor moments, because we all know how priceless they are and how important they are to lighting up a rocking vibe. It's all so special and unique and with the advances in modern technology and the opportunities opening up around us, the world has never been so connected in all its life. It's an amazing and inspiring time for us all.
Who are your resident DJs and/or favourite touring talents?
Our residents include the likes of Harry Blotter, Blinky, Ish Mia, Brown Acid, Loki, Bobby Raver/Punk on Junk, Simon Murphy, Imperfect Circle and myself. Across our events we work together to build a vision, alongside touring legends Ritmo (Israel), D-Addiction, Symbolic, Hypogeo, Mindwave, U-Recken, and many more aligned with Artifact's booking agency and touring circuits. To add more girth we love Australian music and frequently support and feature Australia's best at every possible chance we can. Ultimately there's too many to list, we love everyone and are blessed with amazing talents.
Who's your crowd and what makes your parties great?
Our crowds are very diverse, we cater for everyone from the first time revellers to the tried and tested enthusiasts. We have all grown up together through many years of eventing and wonderful experiences. What we do is more than just a night out or a party or a meat-market pick up session. In a sentence, the entirety of our mission is that "We are creators of experiences, and we seek to define the wholeheartedness of any one experience to generate happiness on a grand scale". We achieve this by fusing together the expressive outlets found in the arts, dance, community, music, technology, each other and our surroundings, packaged together in an elaborate presentation designed to captivate and drive a positive experience. With it a sea of smiling faces populate our dance-floors with an amazing energy through open-minded, respectful and caring people, that embody the platform and give it everything they possibly can for its greater good. In a nutshell we are very lucky to have such an amazing audience to share our creations with, because it's ultimately always for the people.
What's been the most epic party you've thrown and why?
This is a tough one. All of them! And especially tricky to nut it down to just the one as being the most epic, because they have all been epic in so many vast and different ways that it's difficult to decide. But I think the winner would be our Aztec event – that was seriously fun. We dressed as Aztec Gods and Goddesses and took over Rydges Hotel in Melbourne, built a six metre StarGate for the main floor with a fully activated crystal grid fused into it and projection mapped a central funnel which was hoisted up onto a circular truss over the DJ booth. The powerful LED show would later transform the audience and bring about the Aztec wildlands that we sought to manifest. With the amazing combinations of the Extra Dimensional Space Agency team from the UK, our vision controlling mind mapping by Leigh Gilmour, Mitch Hudson on the lighting, Ishtar sound, and some of the world's best, we were in party mode!
Everything was incredibly well received and the vibe was nuts. We even had an after party at Brown Alley and a further continuation event on the rooftop poolside at the hotel, that was bliss!
What's the worst/craziest thing that's happened at one of your parties?
Too many crazies to list!
What's been the most epic party you've thrown and why?
As above, but certainly worthy of a second mention, Aztec!
Shameless self-promotion opportunity – what, when, where for your next party?
J00f Editions: September 7 at Brown Alley, in conjunction with Darkbeat and Sunset. Colour Of Sound: Trip The Light Fantastic Tour – Ritmo, D-Addiction, October 19.

During a win against the hometown Cincinnati Reds on Friday night, rookie Bryce Harper needed 10 stitches above his eye after throwing his bat at the wall in frustration. The bat rebounded and cut him, causing the injury. The incident will apparently not cause Harper to miss any playing time.
When the Nats take to the field to face the Reds again on Saturday night, Harper will be making the start in right field, according to the official Nationals Twitter feed.
Harper, who has batted in a number of different spots in the lineup since being called up from Triple A a few weeks ago, will bat fifth in the lineup, behind cleanup hitter Adam LaRoche and in front of Danny Espinosa. The Nats have yet to find a consistent spot where Harper can best contribute.

Nice finishes everyone!
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Nice finishes everyone!
Don't worry spider.
I keep house
I donate quilts to the AAQI.
Very nice quilts, Michelle. I just love getting them finished!! Great job!
--- Jean
I'd rather spend money on my quilting hobby than the therapist.... I'm probably $$$ ahead.... and I'm happy!!
I have 2 finishes to add... one was in July but I never got it posted. Busy month of travel and then a bout of cellulitis in my knee that kept me off my feet for several days. The antibiotics are starting to do their thing and I've been able to sew again the last few days. Hoping for good things in August...
These are 2 of 5 Charm Quilt UFOs in my closet... simple patchwork using 6.5" novelty squares from online swaps. The layout I used on #1 I really like - I think the background squares show off the fun prints better. I quilted them both with walking foot freehand waves. These are UFO Finishes #33 & #34 for 2012 (and #49 and #50 since 10/1/2012).
Guess what? I'm straddling the halfway point of my UFO Collection with 51 to go!!
QuilterMomma - your quilting is so well done! I really like the those cute Umbrella girls.
Nanna-up-north - I love how you used the those fabrics! And the quilting is great too. It would look right at home in my MN Up North house!
missgigglewings - that makes a great table cloth! Some fabrics shouldn't be cut up and that is one of them.
michelleoc - both of your quilts are gorgeous! I especially love that red paisley fabric. What a nice gift.
Createfourpaws - I think this is prettiest T shirt quilt I have ever seen! The sashing around the shirts really adds a lot.
VickiM - way to go with 3 finishes! I particularly like the mix of border fabric and pinwheels on the 1st one - something I wouldn't think to do. Eye-catching!
Sorry for the multiple posts everyone but I'm so behind... going page by page to catch up.
asimplelife--I was wondering where I saw your I spy quilt and it's on your blog! I do enjoy following it. OBTW like the stacked sticks or stick stacks (whatever) you are working on now. I can see it with a cream/tan main color and jewel tones especially turquoise rust and browns for a SW look. Also a black main color with KT and Jo Morton type fabrics. Or how about a cream floral and some Civil War fabs!
Don't worry spider.
I keep house
I donate quilts to the AAQI.
asimplelife - your last two entries are very nice. You stack of UFO's is diminishing day-by-day!
I love ALL of of your ideas - I have been thinking batiks as well as a Christmas version since I already have a bunch of the coins (2.5" x 5.5") needed from a swap I did a few years ago.

Quickly discover sensitive content
Tablus Content Sentinel 3.0 employs grid processing to scan files dispersed across large networks
Content Sentinel's reporting and management dashboard provides more insight and usability compared to my first look at this product. It presents overall risk and scan summaries, while also charting content risk and security trends. Nine risk analysis and scan reports let you examine the underlying details. For instance, you might see abnormally high risk at an outsourced call center, and then drill down to identify the cause as client records saved in freely accessible spreadsheets.
Further, scan results can be saved. This audit trail could be invaluable in determining what content was stored on a lost or stolen laptop – and perhaps eliminate the need for a costly notification process.
Tablus Content Sentinel 3.0 helps you gauge gaps in your data security by identifying content at risk on laptops, desktops, and servers. You can then take measures to protect this information before it moves or is misused. This alone can help demonstrate to auditors that you're taking proactive security measures. Similarly, protecting confidential data reduces the risk of it getting into the hands of competitors. As such, this solution plays an important role within an overall strategy to enforce compliance with corporate and regulatory policies.
