Weekly Horoscopes at Work
May 20-16, 2013
- Monday, 20 May 2013
- Judi Vitale
This week will be more packed with action than the last few have been. The eclipse on Saturday puts the focus on making decisions about relationships. Are we ready to come to terms with someone or something that could involve merging with another? We must decide this on an individual basis, and the events brought about around the eclipse will help us make certain choices.
The sun's move into Gemini will make it easier to communicate and share our lives with our friends, family and other loved ones. Yet, the exact square between Pluto and Uranus, which will happen on Monday as well, could make it difficult to avoid the tension that comes when thoughts and feelings are being slung around in such a tense environment.
It might be tricky getting through the week, particularly with the void moon days adding to confusion. With that said, choose Thursday for most of your business transactions this week. That looks to be the day with the least amount of tension and the most possiblity for success in business and other aspects of life, too.
Check out the times and dates for this weeks planetary action:
All times are U.S. Eastern.
Monday May 20 5:10 PM - Sun enters Gemini
Monday May 20 6:21 PM - Uranus square Pluto
Saturday May 25 12:25 AM - Eclipse of the moon at 4 degrees of Sagittarius, 8 minutes.
When the moon has stopped interacting with other planets while it is in one sign, it is "void" until it enters the next sign. During these periods, it's difficult to make connections, arrange meetings and make purchases. Care should be taken in all these matters. The good way to use this energy is to finish up what you've already started, and wait for a better time to start anything new. Here are the void of course times for this week:
Monday May 20 12:48 PM-1:07 PM
Wednesday May 22 3:35 AM-4:55 PM
Friday May 24 9:55 AM-5:49 PM
Sunday May 26 6:22 AM-5:28 PM
Here's more information and analysis in this week's video:

Oscar-winning actress Helen Mirren didn't like director Alfred Hitchcock initially. Helen plays the iconic director's wife Alma Reville in new biopic Hitchcock, but she has revealed she once endured a disastrous audition for the filmmaker's thriller Frenzy in the early 1970s because she felt he disliked the way she looked.
Helen told The Huffington Post newspaper: "When I was a very young actress I was sent for an audition with him. I don't think he would have auditioned me; I think he either thought you looked right or you didn't. I was arrogant and ignorant and, at that time, he was just not my kind of film director...
"So, I didn't really like him, and I know he didn't like me very much. He certainly didn't cast me. He took one look at me and went, 'Oh, good God. She's going to be a nightmare' ... I didn't want to do it because all those roles were horrible anyway."
Helen's co-star Sir Anthony Hopkins - who stars as Hitchcock in Sacha Gervasi's new film - also found the psychological horror expert to be rather unpleasant at times, and his extensive research to play the role led him to describe the director as "paradoxical".
Anthony mused: "He can be dark, troubled, cold, ruthless and obsessive and also big-hearted, warm and ingenious. That was all part of his nature."

Obviously would be without the 3D component like the 2DS. I'm thinking it may be possible now that they got something like the 2DS running these games without the 3D. If they can emulate the DS why not the 2DS nom sayin?
Just downloaded Black and White and DS emulator and can confirm is running. OH LAWD!

The Long Laugh: Comic Karen Williams
For the next few years, Williams went around performing in black clubs in the Bay Area. Then Gomez asked her to perform at San Francisco's gay pride, cautioning that it would be in the papers and everyone would know that she was gay. Williams was undaunted.
"I made the switch to performing on the women's circuit as opposed to sticking with the black comedy competitions and the black comics, basically because of the homophobia,†Williams says. "I wanted to be out, and even though there's racism in the LGBT community, I still felt that there were more opportunities for me to be able to be who I am than listening backstage to all the negative commentary about gay people.â€
It was the early '80s, "when GRID, gay-related immune deficiency, was showing up,†she recalls. "I'd be going to the clubs and we'd hear that Michael was sick, or this one was sick, and in a week or so they'd be dead.â€
Along with Gomez, Karen Ripley and other fledgling women performers in the area, Williams took part in some of the earliest AIDS benefits. They were grassroots affairs, usually raising money for just one individual. "Early on, producers figured out that if they could make $1,500 at a benefit, they'd make twice as much if they had a comic, and it was low-end to produce,†Williams says.
That was the start of a longstanding project for Williams, using comedy to work toward social justice: "My activism was really born in the lesbian feminist arena, and then being a comic has given me lots of opportunities to be a social activist within the community.â€
Williams believes she was in the right place at the right time when she started out: "My coming into comedy coincided with the whole lesbian and gay movement. I think there was sort of a ready-made atmosphere in the Bay for what has come to be known as lesbian comedy.â€
She had gigs at the Baybrick Inn and Valencia Rose, and was the first performer to take the stage at Josie's Cabaret and Juice Joint. "Josie's was a home base, like a workshop/workout space for a lot of us in the area,†she says. "Every comic I know has performed there.â€
"The club wasn't entirely ready to be open yet but they had me perform, and no one showed up,†Williams recalls. So the owner promised her that from then on she could perform there whenever she wanted to, and she did so frequently over the next 12 years.
The legendary Josie's has since given way to a restaurant. Williams laments: "I'll be in the Bay Area next week and it's quite a sad thing for me to go over to that place now. It was such a cultural icon in San Francisco for lesbian and gay comedy.â€
Williams has moved on too. In 1992 she relocated to a Cleveland suburb, where she founded the HaHA (humor and healing arts) Institute, for the "study and active use of humor in the healing process–personal, societal and planetary.†The institute provides workshops, lectures, keynotes and online tutoring.
Williams has also taught comedy at Cleveland State University, where she created her own major, "Humor and Healing,†and graduated summa cum laude. She also holds a master's of education from the university's adult learning and development program.
Williams can be seen in Laughing Matters, a documentary on lesbian comics, alongside Gomez, Suzanne Westenhoefer and Kate Clinton. She and Gomez have remained friends over the years and still find themselves on the same bill from time to time.
On her upcoming tour Williams will be the keynote speaker at San Francisco's Dyke March Rally later this month. She's also slated to perform at the National Women's Music Festival in Bloomington, Ill., in early July, and then on two Olivia cruises in Europe during the last two weeks of the month.
Next on the schedule is Montreal's Just for Laughs Comedy Festival, and then the Michigan Women's Music Festival in August. In addition to performing standup at the Michigan festival, Williams will lead two workshops: "Let's Laugh About Sex,†and "Comedy 101.â€
"My idea about humor is that it opens people's hearts and it opens people's minds,†Williams says. "With that they can laugh at themselves and share more freely than if it's delivered as straight commentary.â€
And Karen Williams knows what it means to have an open heart and an open mind. "I'm one person who never, ever, ever felt bad or ashamed or any negativity about the fact that I love women. Never. From day one.†Now, that's something you don't hear very often.

At Happy Valley Meat Company our mission is to forge a direct connection between chefs and the farmers who grow their meatLearn about us
At Happy Valley Meat Company our mission is to forge a direct connection between chefs and the farmers who grow their meatLearn about us
Rising Spring Meats (RSM) is our gateway to the farming community. All farmers need to have their animals processed and turned into sellable cuts of meat, but the number of small slaughterhouses is rapidly shrinking. If you've raised your animals responsibly, you want to make sure your animals are respected, that you are respected and that the people who are killing and cutting the animals you put so much hard work into know what they are doing. RSM fits the bill.
The story of Rising Spring Meats is the story of the American agricultural system. The plant itself is one hundred years old; however, as the processing industry began to consolidate to meet the needs of large companies, the old plant went out of business. The small farmers in the area recognized that they needed a plant where they could have a relationship with the people who play an integral role in turning animals into food. So, three farmers grouped together to obtained financing to buy the old plant, bringing RSM back from the dead.
We are glad to have found RSM, without them we wouldn't have meat, and it would be a shame to miss out on the delicious meat products that come from Happy Valley, PA.
Wade Wolfe is known for having the best beef in Central PA. Instead of buying young beef cattle that another farmer raised, Wade has a cow-calf operation - which means that calves are born on his farm and they are raised on his farm until it's time to harvest. All of his animals are raised out on pasture and when the time is right, they are given grains to ensure a perfect, buttery, beautifully marbled steak.
George Lake is not your average farmer; he is a polymath that pushes the word expert to new limits. George runs 100% grass-fed operation with his wife Christy and five work dogs, leader among them, Mac.
George regularly lectures at important agricultural universities and conferences on the nuances between different grasses and when they should be used. Much of George's vast knowledge on grass comes from time he spent working as a commercial airline pilot. In between flights, George would visit European farms, absorbing the science of their generations of traditions.
Dave Bierly is known as the cattle king in Central PA. He knows everyone and everyone knows him. We won't say that he plays favorites with cattle, but have no such qualms with saying it about his wife, who hand fed some of the cattle we bought from them, taking an exceptional interest in their lives. Dave grows all of his own feed, finishing his beef with grains grown on his farm, producing exceptionally marbled animals.
Leroy Bickle is a third generation beef farmer in Centre Hall, PA. His methods are tried and true; from feeding his cattle organic hay to putting them on pasure that is never chemically treated to feeding them homegrown grains, Leroy puts in the time and effort needed to grow amazing beef.
Bethany and Adam Coursen run a small dairy farm that's been in Adam's family for generations. Recently, Valley Wide Farm has started raising beef cattle, an expansion that helps the dairy minimize waste and gives a purpose to the milkless males. All animals graze out on pasture and are only fed grains that are grown on Valley Wide Farm. Being a small operation, Beth and Adam have the chance to work more closely with their animals. So closely, in fact, that they name every animal they raise. Seriously, the first animal we bought from Adam and Beth was named Dave.
Modzel Family Farms is a family operation, run by Dennis Modzel, Sr. and his two sons, Dennis Modzel, Jr. and Matthew Modzel. They feed their animals grass and corn silage, producing beautifully finished beef. Denny Jr.'s ability to easily explain beef production, his wealth of knowledge and gregarious nature make him a great teacher and partner. The Modzel's hospitality is a most welcome retreat from city life, Denny Sr.'s culinary skills rival those of his chef visitors, inundating them with pies while Denny Jr. shows off his home made bourbon and moonshine.
Jake Tanis is a third generation dairy farmer who has always loved keeping beef cattle. Originally, his family ran a large dairy in New Jersey, but since, Jake has moved his family to Pennsylvania where he has become a big part of the farming community. His animals are grass fed and grain finished and antibiotic and hormone free. Even in retirement, Jake works hard to produce some of the best beef out there.
Neal and Cheryl Salyards raise 100% grass fed cattle on their 90-acre farm in Osterburg, PA. The key mission for Jubilee Hilltop Ranch is fostering a strong community while raising healthy livestock with environmentally responsible techniques. With over 20 years of experience in sustainable agriculture, environmental stewardship is the Salyards native tongue.
John Espy III is known for finishing beef. He works with local farmers that raise cattle from birth until they are ready to go to John for finishing. His beef are so beautiful that they are in high demand in Japan, where they demand only the best. John doesn't use any hormones or prophylactic antibiotics. He's even trained his animals to respond to his special cattle call, a spectacle to watch.
We're so honored to count these restaurants amongst our clients
Would you like to serve our meat?
Rising Spring Meat Company is our most important partner; on top of being the gateway to the agriculture community of the area, they also serve as our eyes and ears ensuring consistent high quality beef.
The plant knows who produces the best beef in the area and how they raise their beef. With that knowledge, we go out and meet the farmers who are a good fit for our program. We let the farmer tell us the price that he/she needs to survive.
We take whole animals so the farmer doesn't have to deal with the messy side of business. They can focus on what they do best, farming.
We dry age the beef for two to three weeks to ensure that deep, beefy flavor.
Chefs request custom cuts that aren't industry standard and the butchers are all too happy to oblige.
The plant inspects each piece of meat to make sure it's the best we can send out.
We partner with FedEx so that we can track our packages every step of the way. FedEx is one of the most efficient users of hydrocarbons in the world, and we benefit from their expertise.
Traceability is one of our key values. We want our restaurants to know who raised their meat, where and how. We take chefs out regularly to meet the farmers and see Happy Valley.
Our mission at HVMC is to forge a direct connection between chefs and the farmers who grow their meat. Working with responsibly operated small family farms, we buy pasture raised whole animals and break them into cuts, allowing convenient responsible sourcing for chefs.
We believe that a better, more sustainable food system is not only possible, but its time is now.

The William Monroe volleyball team entered the night one game behind Western Albemarle for first place in the Jefferson District, and could pull into a tie for first place with a victory. However, at the end of the night, it was the Warriors who kept the district lead, and widened the gap between them and the Dragons.
After William Monroe took the first game, 25-21, Western responded in game two with a 25-19 win. The Warriors then took games three and four by respective 25-20 and 25-13 scores. With the victory, the Warriors improve to 8-0 in the Jefferson District, while the Dragons fall to 6-2.
William Monroe will have a chance at redemption, as the two club will meet on the Warriors home floor before the end of the regular season.

Pontiac GTO
jeffhall76 Posts: 52I just read the Edmunds review of the GTO and really enjoyed the article (as usual). However, I am mystified as to why the article did not mention the Cadillac Catera, the car that shares the same basic platform on which the GTO is based. This Opel Omega (Catera) platform was shortened for the Holden Monaro/GTO. Also, the issue of the high quality materials found on the inside was mentioned in Edmunds own reviews of the Catera back in 2000-2001. The Catera and GTO have distinct non-GM-like cheap, nasty, plasticky materials. If you've never seen the interior of a Catera (00-01 especially), you will see it has nothing in common with typical US GM interiors (thank goodness). Edmunds rightfully praised this in its review a few years ago.
Lastly, the article says the last GM car to not have the name of the company on it (ex: "Pontiac") was the Oldsmobile Aurora. The 2000 and 2001 Catera models do not have the word "Cadillac" written anywhere on the car. So that's 2!
Just small corrections, but I had to voice them. Let's just hope the GTO doesn't have the horrible initial quality that the 1997 and 1998 Catera suffered from.
Tampa, FL
2000 Cadillac Catera Sport
And look what happened to those last two GM cars not to have it's make printed somewhere on the outside of the car.
If the GTO was to fail, it obviously wouldn't be for that reason. But, sending over a ten-year chassis design might be a problem. Who knows?
Certainly, GM could put a little more effort into R&D, and come up with something fresh. However, rebadging models seems to have worked for GM for 40 years, so why fix it if it ain't broke?
I'll agree to disagree here. The Marauder looks absolutely menacing. I dig its styling. The thing weighs two-and-a-half tons. The motor does a very good job considering. But, I've read owners are underwhelmed with the car's performance.
Nothing a little aftermarket can't cure.
jq3 Posts: 52I agree with qbrozen, why can't the consumer have both, looks and power? Why is it that people accept mediocrity, when they're paying $30,000+ for a vehicle? GM can give both don't be "hood-winked" and "led a stray"!
IMHO, the GTO will not age well. Have you seen the older Grand Prix's? Talk about looking outdated! Some of you accept the styling of the GTO and I totally respect your opinions. But, as for me I'll take ctennis3811's advice, "DON'T BUY IT!!!" For those of you who defend its bland, generic and cheap looks...GO BUY IT!!
I'm not particualrly fond of the looks of the GTO either (in either guise...as the Manaro in Australia or the U.S. GTO). But you can't argue the fact that for $34K you can get a taste of 'vette performance with great seats and suspension bits.
If the General did a total redesign instead of an update of a current design, I doubt they could have hit that price point.
I generally like this new GTO. The styling is clean and the performance is outstanding. It's the first Pontiac in decades that I would consider owning. Pontiac is finally getting some models that help it live up to it's stated purpose, to be the sporty side of GM.
Although, I can see how one could wish that Pontiac had showcased a new design direction with it's new halo model. Instead it looks like, well a member of Pontiac's current model range. Which is fine, but a little unexciting.
I guess we will have to wait for the Soltice to see the new direction of Pontiac design.
the only thing plain about that '68 GTO could be fixed with the addition of a nice set of wheels like the optional Rally II wheels and some big white letter tires( like those worn by my old GT0).
Given those additions (which were more common than not on the old ones I don't think many would consider a '68 GTO coupe plain, then or now.
2000 BMW 528i, 2001 BMW 330CiC
first of all, why should that quiet anyone? Who cares what the old one looked like? The old one also weighed a helluva lot more and handled like a steamship. Does that mean the new one should do the same?
2nd of all, that '68 is NOT plain in my book. Just look at that hood. Can you add something like that to the new one? Sure. I could also cram an LS6 into a hyundai and spank this GTO. But why spend that kind of time and money when I could get something else straight from the factory that can do the job? If I gotta look at a new car and think about what I'll do to it BEFORE I even buy it, then its not worth buying, in my opinion.
and 3rdly, I think the complaints about the new one are more to the fact that it looks like a plain old grand prix, not necessarily that it in itself is plain. It just does nothing to distinguish itself from the other Pontiacs on the showfloor.

I reread my post and can't figure why I am being criticized for it.
Thought you guys would be interested in looking at a low option, plain jane survivor.
I felt the overall tone of my post was positive for both the new and old.
The GTO has been my favorite musclecar since I was 12. Tried to buy my neighbor's '70 Judge in 1983 and my next door neighbor's '72 GTO in 1980.
I sometimes wonder why I continue to participate in these forums.
The history if the GTO was one of taking a plain, mundane car and turning it into a "barn burner".
That's what Pontiac did. They originially took the "plain Jane" LEmans and John DeLorean stuffed a "honkin", high output V8 in it. That was the birth of the muscle car.
Fast forward to today. Pontiac takes a plain Jane, kind of Grand Prix sort of car and stuffs a "honkin" 'vette engine in it.
Same principle....same result!
again, who cares? why should this follow suit of the old one? If that is the case, then why are they making this one faster and handle better than the old one? If you want history, then you'd better throw about 500 lbs. in the trunk of this new GTO before you go out cruising. Oh, and, by the way, the DIDN'T take a grand prix and stuff a v8 into it. They took a Holden Monaro and made it LOOK like a Grand Prix. So they really aren't following the original equation at all.
b4z - you aren't being "criticized" for it, but if that's how you feel and you want to post your thoughts without any feedback whatsoever, then why DO you participate in forums?? That IS kind of the whole point, is it not?? I thought it was great that you posted that link. I love seeing it, but you also said you thought it should shut people up about the looks of the new one. That ain't gonna happen.
'13 Stang GT; '15 Fit; '98 Volvo S70; '14 Town&Country
"If that is the case, then why are they making this one faster and handle better than the old one?"
Because they can!
In all seriousness, I would have loved some styling cues from the "old" Lemans/GTO. But, the whole "retro" thing is a hit or miss gambit (hit = PT Cruiser, miss = Thunderbird) Fact is, from the get go Pontiac (more to the point, Lutz) said they wanted to revive the spirit of the original. I think that's what they did.
They took an old idea, updated it with today's modern design and power advances and brought out a car that, if not everybody's cup of tea, is one of the performance stars in all of "cardom".
Come to think of it, they did the same exact thing they did over 3 decades ago with the original.
that Pontiac put certain clues into the original GTO to separate it from the Garden variety LeMans
These clues were actually subtle. At a glance
many would think they were looking at a LeMans (which like the Goat could be plain or quite deluxe).
Except for the wing (which BTW I don't like) the
new Goat could use a little more differentiation from the garden variety GPs and Bonnies.
B4z, I misinterpreted the term "plain" in your post. In fact it is correct to say that that was a "plain Jane GTO for it's era.
2000 BMW 528i, 2001 BMW 330CiC
still on that whole "repeat of history" idea, remember what they were competing with back then. Its just not the same today. The original GTO was a big fish in a small pond. Now the pond is immense. There are so many other choices out there these days that this sort of concept just doesn't win over drivers like it used to. Don't get me wrong, I still think its great. But something as simple as the style could tilt the scales in favor of a G35, RX8, or whatever the flavor of the month is at that point in time.
Modern design? hardly. That design is already 7 model years old (body-wise). That's ancient in terms of today's constantly evolving marketplace and fickle consumers.

Mr_Shiftright CaliforniaPosts: 45,657Old muscle cars generate a LOT of excitement at car shows and auctions. People salivate. I think GM is trying to capitalize on that and if possible re-create a level of excitement like that for their new models. They aren't trying to recreate the past car itself, but rather recreate the past excitement.
MODERATOR --Need help with anything? Click on my name!
They revived the GTO name for a reason. I'm convinced that in a couple of years there will be more design excitement in the GTO. Let's hope they don't get carried away.
If I were GM's design chief I'd tell my GTO guys to take a lesson from Pininfarina. In 1968 they figured out away to show the Ferrari look in a new way without using cliched "surface excitement.
They were leapfrogging ahead whilst across the ocean GM's guys were copying the '62 Ferrari GTO
(Corvette C3)
2000 BMW 528i, 2001 BMW 330CiC
Hey, at least Pontiac understyled this one rather than the other way 'round. It could have all those tacky bumps and ridges like other current Pontaic designs. I'll take the former anyday.
I would love to see a four door version. A Pontiac giving the big boy sedans from BMW, Mercedes and Jaguar a run for their money, I love it. Of course that would hurt sales for the CTS-V so it will never happen.
Interesting comparo...
GTO — 365 lbs-ft
CTS-V — 395 lbs-ft
GTO — 31k
CTS-V — 49k
Old Omega platform vs. new with same basic powerplant (minus tuning). Seems like GM has done a pretty good job keeping these cars different enough in performance to keep the CTS-V looking like the top dog in the range.

A poll released Wednesday shows the race is close between Democratic Gov. Jennifer Granholm and Republican challenger Dick DeVos.
Forty-six percent of 600 likely voters said they would vote for DeVos, while 44 percent said they would vote for Granholm. Ten percent were undecided. The poll by Lansing-based EPIC-MRA was conducted June 13 through Tuesday and had a sampling error margin of plus or minus 4 percentage points.
A poll conducted June 5-9 by EPIC-MRA had DeVos leading 48 percent to 40 percent. Both the Granholm and DeVos campaigns said when that poll came out that other polls showed the race much closer.
In the latest poll, 41 percent gave Granholm a positive rating and a 58 percent negative rating, with 1 percent undecided, similar to her numbers earlier this month.
WILX Senior Capital Correspondent Tim Skubick attributes the tightening in the latest poll, at least in part, to the television ads being run on Governor Granholm's behalf by the Michigan Democratic party. DeVos has been running an ad blitz since February and Granholm had not responded when the first poll was taken in early June.
The new poll was conducted for television stations WXYZ in Detroit, WILX in Lansing, WOOD in Grand Rapids and WJRT in Flint. A May poll by EPIC-MRA had DeVos at 46 percent and Granholm at 45 percent.

November 28, 2014
March 26, 2014
Attorney General Mark R. Herring announces Virginia e-book consumers will begin receiving approximately $4.3 million in restitution stemming from the partial settlement of a lawsuit brought in 2012 by Virginia's Office of Attorney General and 32 other attorneys general across the country.
The suit alleged that Apple Inc. and five of the six largest e-book publishers in the country conspired to fix the price of e-books.
"As attorney general, I will not tolerate anti-competitive practices that drive up prices and violate the rights of consumers," said Atty. Gen. Herring. "Consumers should be able to trust that they are participating in a market that is free from manipulation."
Consumers who are eligible for restitution should have received e-mail communications from their e-book retailer or the settlement administrator with relevant details. The amount of each consumer's refund will be based on the number of eligible e-books purchased by the consumer between April 1, 2010, and May 21, 2012. Procedural details for claiming restitution vary depending on the retailer used to purchase e-books. Further information about the settlements may be found at www.ebookagsettlements.com.
The publishers accused of price fixing- Hachette Book Group Inc.; HarperCollins Publishers LLC; Simon & Schuster Inc.; Holtzbrinck Publihsers, LLC, d/b/a Macmillan; and Penguin Group (USA) Inc. - settled the claims against them for a total nationwide payment of $166 million.
Apple declined to settle the claims against it, but was found by a U.S. District Court to have violated federal and state antitrust laws by conspiring to eliminate retail price competition in the market for e-books.
A trial to determine the damages caused by Apple's violation has been tentatively scheduled for this summer, and may result in further compensation for consumers.

Hiking Cub Lake
August 6, 2011 § Leave a comment
Yesterday was a treat on many fronts. I had the whole day free, I was accompanied by good friends visiting and we found a perfect trail in a gorgeous part of the Rocky Mountain National Park. My friend, Adair, and I went to grad school together and have shared a number of fantastic hikes when we travelled around India and Nepal together. It was like old times being out on a trail with her yesterday. Brad, her husband, as well as a very talented photographer, joined as well so I have some fun pics to share. They were recently posted in the foreign service in Athens Greece, so he spent a lot of time covering the riots. I shared his work during Philosophy Week when I was over there visiting them.
But now back to the hike.
Just about 45 minutes away from Boulder through Estes Park is the Rocky Mountain National Park and not far within is Moraine Park where I went horseback riding recently. When we were there we saw lots of trailheads and I knew I wanted to go back and investigate. Cub Lake is a pretty easy trail at 2.3 miles each way and is mostly flat with a steady incline towards the end. It's at 8,000 feet, so not too hard on the lungs either. The best part is that it's absolutely gorgeous. You start in the valley crossing a river and make your way past ponds and gorgeous wildflowers. Eventually you start winding your way up through a forest of aspens and ferns.
photo: Bradley Watson
After about an hour or so we reached Cub Lake which is just idyllic. I'd love to go back and spend a day there with a good book. Upon arriving we were greeted by some of the fattest chipmunks I've ever seen. This must be one place in the park where people have disregarded the sign about not feeding the wildlife. My friend ended up with one on her lap trying to decipher where the food was hidden in her iPhone.
When hiking you find yourself striking up conversations with those around you. We shared a rest stop with a family visiting from Boston. Every time someone asks me where I'm from and I say Boulder the reply is always the same: "You're really lucky". After the hikes I've been on this week, I wholeheartedly agree.
We also ran into a couple wearing "bear bells". My friend asked if they had seen any bears. I casually asked the wife if she hiked by herself with the bells and she blew up at us. "NEVER! You should NEVER hike alone." and then proceeded to lecture us further. I didn't want to mention that while her bear bells might work on bears they also kind of turn her into a giant cat toy. I personally would be a bit more afraid of the mountain lions around than the bears given their size.
photo: Bradley Watson
While we didn't come across bears or mountain lions, we did see a moose when we got to the lake. She was just chillin' in the lake eating lily pads. Brad got a great closeup of her. That was my first moose sighting. There were of course some not-so-bright tourists getting a little too close forgetting it's a 900 lb animal.
We had to start heading back since the clouds were rolling in, but Brad was able to capture Cub Lake from a pretty fantastic vantage point.
photo: Bradley Watson
We learned a few things hiking yesterday:
1) Come up with a game plan beforehand that everyone knows. We could either have headed back the way we came or have taken a few other trails to get back. We got split up at the lake and one of us thought we were going to do the other trails while two of us planned to head back the way we came. Hard to coordinate with no cell service at that point. We all eventually made it back to the car.
2) Bring snacks. We had plenty of water but no snacks and started getting hungry.
3) NEVER! NEVER FOR THE LOVE OF GOD HIKE ALONE! (or alternatively turn yourself into a giant cat toy by wearing bells)

The Tenderfoot Loop is a great morning trail to do before the day gets going. It's a lot less crowded than Sanitas or Chautauqua and you're rewarded with stunning views a good bit of the way. It's easy to access straight going west on Baseline up Flagstaff to Realization Point. There are a number of other trails nearby as well.
It's an easy 2.5 mile loop that makes it's way down into a valley popping with wildflowers this time of year. Niko, my friend's dog, wanted his picture with them. :)
I'm always amazed how subtly and sometimes not so subtly the landscape in Colorado can change throughout the year. Now is one of the best times to get out for morning or evening hikes because everywhere there are bright, cheery yellow wildflowers to greet you.
I need to get a field guide so I can start learning more about what I'm seeing.
A beautiful morning hike in Chautauqua Park
August 2, 2011 § Leave a comment
A short drive from downtown Boulder to the Baseline Trailhead off of Baseline road where the Flatirons await ahead.
A beautiful morning looking out over Boulder. Pretty typical of what every morning looks like here.
My friends' pup, Gilbert, leads the way onto the Bluebell-Baird trail, a nice easy morning loop to do before work. It's well traveled and leads to lots of other interesting trails. Another good one to do if you're solo.
Some sites have special meaning for others along the way. My friends fondly recall having their wedding photos taken here. They recently just celebrated their first anniversary & have been hiking this trail together since college.
You're always rewarded when you get up and go on a hike in the morning. I still pinch myself to make sure I actually do live here.
Hiking Boulder
August 1, 2011 § Leave a comment
One of the things I haven't taken advantage of yet living in Boulder is hiking. I plan to change that this week. We just went to Aspen for the weekend to celebrate our first anniversary and the gorgeous drive inspired me to explore the hiking trails around me.
I can sometimes be a creature of habit and the only trail I've really done so far is a trail called Sanitas which I can get to from my house. It's probably the most well-traveled path in Boulder, so it's also one I can do by myself when I don't have anyone to bring along. I've actually considered getting a dog just to be able to do more trails on my own.
A lot of outdoor activities require special clothing or equipment to do but the great thing about hiking is you can just get out and see the magnificent scenery close by.
Breaking it down from the beginning
July 27, 2011 § Leave a comment
A lot of us just want to dive into things in life and believe we can hold our own by some God-given talent. When I was in college, I went skiing for the first time with some friends and they gave me a few pointers, pointed me down a blue slope (an icy, NC blue slope) and I was on my way. A very fast, scary and out-of-control way it was. The problem was that I had no familiarity with skiing, so the pointers did me no good. My friend's boyfriend caught up and grabbed me right before I went through a fence and into a ravine. I didn't put skis on again for a good 15 years.
Chess is not necessarily that life threatening (although there are numerous historical examples of chess games averting real-life battles) but without fully understanding what you're getting into, you can easily find yourself completely out of control. Earlier in the year when I did Wintering Week I took a ski lesson for the first time and it was like night and day. I slowly became acclimated to what it feels like to maintain control on skis and only progressed when I was comfortable. With chess, instead of diving in with the same reckless manner as when I first tried to ski, I decided to start with a lesson and slowly, patiently break it down from the beginning.
There are quite a few resources for learning to play chess in Colorado. Yesterday I had my first lesson with Paul Szeligowski who teaches chess full time to people of all ages and skill levels. He just finished up with a Summer camp teaching K-12 and his teaching has led to numerous state champions. Now he's stuck with me for an hour or so a week!
I really enjoyed my lesson yesterday. It helps to have someone who can start from the beginning (with the patience of a teacher) and help you progress at your speed. As any good teacher would do, I have been assigned homework! Paul talks about learning chess like learning a language. You have to learn words, construct sentences and practice speaking.
In chess "words & sentences" are tactics and to start out I am learning tactics from Back to Basics: Tactics by Dan Heisman. As defined by the book, tactics have two key definitions:
1 – "The science of piece safety"
2- "Forced maneuvers leading to the gain of material or checkmate."
I think many people that just get in and play focus on offensive moves vs focusing equally on preventing tactics being used on them. Learning tactics can help prevent that weakness by learning to recognize when someone else is employing a tactic on you. I have a feeling it will be much like it was learning to work in a corporate work environment! You don't just have yourself to contend with but what others do as well.
As with learning the vocabulary of a language, with chess it's good to learn the vocabulary of the pieces in terms of how they move with the board. Paul suggests starting with the Pawn Game to understand first how pawns move on the board. The goal is to be first to reach the last rank (other side of the board). Once you are familiar with pawns you can start adding other pieces and getting a feel for how each piece moves on the board. I really like this approach because I find it hard to try to learn what each piece does all at once.
My next lesson is tomorrow, so I have some homework to get done.
Finally ready to learn
July 25, 2011 § 2 Comments
I bought this marble chess set 15 years ago when I was on a summer study program in Mexico. It was one of those spontaneous tourist purchases you find yourself lugging back and questioning afterward. I suppose I rationalized that everyone should own a chess set and I'd get around to learning one day. This set has seemed to follow me around over the years remaining un-played. I moved with it quite a few times and then conveniently left it in my old bedroom closet at my parents' house.
A few months ago my Mom was cleaning out said closet and came upon a bunch of stuff that she thought she would return to its rightful owners. My sisters also had left wanted, yet momentarily unwanted, items stowed there. A box showed up at my door with my letter jacket from high school, the wayward chess set and a few other things I didn't need but yet couldn't seem to give away.
Chess has always been on a slow simmer in the back of my mind as a game I should play but I never actually wanted to start learning. I saw it as a slippery slope that would occupy a serious amount of mental energy…energy I was more interested in putting elsewhere. In many ways I felt like my job in advertising was like living chess, from the more obvious aspect of my job as a strategist to simply trying to create a sense of order from the chaotic environment that is advertising. The last thing I felt like doing with my time off was more thinking.
I think chess is a game you have to be ready to learn. Sure you can jump in and just have fun with it if you like, but if you want to play the way it is meant to be played, you need to be ready to spend time learning how to play. I think the re-emergence of my old chess set on my doorstep was another invitation and this time I'm ready to start learning.
I've already looked into a few resources to learn and have been reading a great book the past couple days, The Immortal Game: A History of Chess or How 32 Carved Pieces on a Board Illuminated Our Understanding of War, Science, and the Human Brain by David Shenk. This week I not only want to learn how to play but also understand why chess has managed to have such a widespread cultural impact through the centuries. Angry Birds can only dream of having this kind of track record.
To learn how to play I contacted a local teacher who hosts chess summer camps and teaches private lessons to pick up the basics of the game. The Boulder Chess Club also gets together every Wednesday evening to play, so I'll be visiting them to see some games in action.
If anyone has any good resources, please send them my way!

Pie Crusts
You know how everyone has that ONE thing that simply frustrates them and they just can't seem to master? Mine is a decent pie crust. I can cook or bake just about anything except I have a terrible time with getting a decent pie crust. I've tried everything, making sure the butter was cold, water was ice cold and I either overwork it or my proportions just aren't right on. Does anyone have a fool proof recipe for pie crust estupidos like me? Let's call it "Pie Crusts for Dummies"
Many thanks
aka CoteGal
Trish.....perhaps your technique is what needs some working on, rather than the recipe??
Here re two websites that may be of help....think they also give recipes.....
re: knecht
My problem is that they come out tough so I'm thinking I'm overworking the dough so it might be technique as Lisbet suggested. I also have warm hands and live in the desert where the daytime temps often hit 115 degrees so why am I even baking anything anyway? Maybe I should consider investing in a marble board and putting that in the refrigerator before rolling the dough out.
Thanks for all your suggestions.
Some people have such warm hands that when they work the pastry heat from their hands is transferred to it and melts the fat more, which is not good for a pie crust; maybe you are warm hands person?
I make mine in the food processor pulsing it. 2 1/2cups flour, 10 tbl cold butter, 5 tbls cold crisco, 1/4tea salt and yes ice water. However, I always add a tble or so of orange juice. There is something about the acid that works. Process pulsing til you can squeeze it together. I then dump the dough onto a piece of plastic wrap and cover creating a round. Refrigerate for at least an hour before rolling. Good luck
Have you tried the "foolproof pie crust" from cook's illustrated? it is a butter and shortening crust that you make in the food processor... it also has vodka in it. anyway, I don't make crusts very often, and this one always turns out for me... it is tender, flaky & rolls out really easy too. I can paraphrase the recipe if you are interested.
re: withalonge
With, if you could post the recipe, that would be very helpful. We are picking up 10 lbs. of sour pie cherries next weekend and will be making some pie crust. Of all the things I do really well, the crust is not a signature dish for me either. I never seem to be able to roll it out evenly and uniformly, thus crostatas are much more forgiving, but I am required to produce a couple of cherry pies from this batch. Ugh!
re: Diane in Bexley
I wholeheartedly second withalonge's reply about the CI pie crust. It's incredibly easy and certainly foolproof. It can be made either sweet (for pies) or savory (for pot pies, quiche). I've never had too much trouble with crusts, but as soon as I tried this one, I knew I'd never make any other recipe. I keep a bottle of vodka in my freezer for this recipe. I'm at work, sans recipe, but if witha doesn't post it later today, I can stick it up here tomorrow.
re: bflocat
sorry, didn't log back on last night.. I can post the recipe tonight after I get home if bflocat doesn't beat me too it.
an yeah... that's why I keep a bottle of vodka in my freezer... pie crust... riiiiiggghhht.. yeah, that's it.
re: Diane in Bexley
o.k. so CI, nov & dec 2007 issue
process 1 1/2 cu flour w/ 1tsp salt, 2 tsp sugar in food pro for a few secs (omit sugar for savory crust).
add 12 tbsp chilled butter & 1/2 cu chilled shortening (pulse 2-3 times), should be curd-like
add addtl cup flour & pulse 4-5 times
dump in to mixing bowl, add 1/4 cup cold water & 1/4 cup vodka
it will seem like it is way too wet, fold mixture until dough comes together, will still be sticky
divide dough, wrap each half in saran and chill in fridge... chill at least 1 hr
I roll out on well-floured sil-pat... it rolls out really easy.
good luck with your pie!
re: withalonge
Thanks so much With! I'll try this next week~~~
Oh GOSH darn it all...it only takes a 1/4 cup of vodka so I get to drink the rest? I see pomegranate martinis next week as I make the pie.
re: CoteGal
Why not make a pitcher of pomegranate martinis before you start and use 1/4 cup of martini in the pie crust dough? No one will ever figure out your secret. Oh, wait, martinis are GIN! You claim you can't make good pie crust and here you go inventing a new IMPROVED recipe!
Here's a thread and slideshow I put together on how to make an apple pie. Since then I have made countless more pies. A friend even wanted one instead of birthday cake.
There are a couple secrets here:
1. By mixing the flour, shortening and salt and keeping it in the fridge your dough will be quite cold and you can make pie when you want it by adding the chilled water.
2. Use plenty of flour rolling your dough and don't worry if some flour sticks on the crust.
I use tapioca to thicken. And I don't precook my apples like my mother in law does. We both make good pies.
re: TrishUntrapped
Trish......wonderful Slide Shows, many thanks! My Dad earned his livelihood as a professional chef and he always used tapioca in his fruit pies.
re: TrishUntrapped
Very cool slide show and thread. I'll keep it for reference. But...what a delicious looking pie! I'm so much a better cook when I have a visual, especially during the stages. I love it when people provide that. Thanks!
re: JackieChiles
What does it mean if your pie crust always cracks on the edges while rolling out?
re: jangita
It wouldn't bother me if the edges of the pie crust crack a little when rolling out because you can cut the excess after you place it in the pan or on top.
However if it overly cracks it is possible too dry and the dough needed more water.
I had to change Web sites for my step-by-step slideshow. Here it is again if anyone is interested.
re: jangita
Don't worry about it if it's just at the edges. It's normal. You'll crimp the cracks together anyway when you assemble the pie.
re: visciole
A friend and I have been experimenting with pie making lately. He is good at it and I am hopeless, until we found a trick that works. I had tried using a food processor, but it gave tough results. He prefers the old fashioned method of hand rubbing the flour and lard. When I do it that way, my fingers warm it up too much. Then the ligt went on, now I FREEZE the block of lard and use th efood processor to grate it into little pea sized pieces. Put the food processor bowl in the freezer for a while, then mix in the flour and other dry ingredients in a big bowl and add the grated lard. Makes really flaky crusts!
re: Danybear
Regarding the CI recipe, I see that it says above "chill at least one hour..." How long can it be chilled? Could it stay in the refrig overnight? This is my first time making a real (i.e. non-graham cracker) crust.
re: MaryDC
You can chill it for up to 2 days (or freeze it for longer periods). Check out this blog (not mine). She goes through this recipe step-by-step.

Fish & Farm
- Lori SF Oct 5, 2007 05:39 PM
Anyone try this new place? The menu look great and their website states-
"Our produce is local and organic or pesticide-free
We strive to serve only sustainably-sourced meat and seafood from small, eco-friendly fisheries"
"100 Miles: Dishes in which all ingredients are sourced within 100 miles
of Fish & Farm"
re: laaronson
Am I reading the map correctly -- they're smack dab in the middle of the Tenderloin?
Menu looks good but not particularly innovative. I like that the corkage policy is clearly spelled out (and reasonable).
re: Ruth Lafler
I think I like that they are not innovative but another option besides hayes street grill amoung the few others that does simple good seafood and the sustainable part is a plus.
re: Ruth Lafler
Note: I have a business relationship with Fish & Farm
I went last night for a test dinner and thought the food was really good. they have created a "neighborhood" feel in an area that really doesn't have much of that, which is nice.
Ruth, the area is not really smack in the tenderloin-for what it's worth, I felt fine/safe walking from the parking structure (Cal parking, 1/2 block away but i'm sure there are less expensive options) to the restaurant.
They plan to open today
the grilled squid, venison spare ribs and sablefish were my faves, but all dishes worked in my opinion. sadly, we didn't get to try the sat cod fritters, which the staff already seems to love.
You are correct they have quite a deal on corkage for this type of restaurant - $5 for cali wines, $10 all others
re: laaronson
What I can see that really being good for is visitors who bought wine in the wine country and want to drink it. If the food turns out to be decent, that will be something in mind to recommend.
re: Ruth Lafler
Yes, and it encourages wine collectors to be regulars. Also the Napa Valley Wine Exchange is just up the street a block where it's easy to pick up a nice bottle.

re: laaronson
thanks for reporting back.
re: Ruth Lafler
The address looked familiar to me. Checked it and sure enough, it's where Sultan used to be in the Hotel Mark Twain across the street from the Hilton Hotel. So yes, it is the Tenderloin but on the side toward the Union Square hotels. Interesting that Original Joe's Duggan family are partners in the venture.

On a different note, we're having a celebratory dinner and are trying to choose between Scott Howard's or Fish & Farm.
I know they're very different, but can anyone tell me from experience which was the more memorable meal?
re: Doodleboomer
looks as if there will be another report! We'll be there next weds (halloween) to celebrate our anniversary.
We decided against Scott Howard, small plates are well, just... you know exactly what I'm trying to say!
re: Vivienne T
well, I for one didn't know what you were trying to say. Sott Howard wasn't small plates when I ate there last in January. So, I looked at the menu on the website currently, and while I am not sure I would call it small plates exactly (they don't) it is close . I am interested in going back to try their pre-fixe, any three dishes for $32 early or late.
As for Fish and Farm: I love the concept, and look forward very much to reports on the food, hope to check it out soon myself. I have to say though, the actual menu on the website however, isn't quite as appealing to me personally. The listed appetizers all seem rather heavy and relatively pricey (ie seafood chowder is ten dollars, the only salad has fried oysters and roast pumpkin and is ten dollars), compared to the reasonably priced mains: not sure for example that I would want both the seafood chowder and fish and chips. Dessert doesn't get much mention, though, so I wonder if it is worth saving room for?
. So, I am hoping to hear that there are a few lighter and perhaps less expensive app selections than those listed....or perhaps the solution is to have a main and a side...and hope to hear reports back soon!
re: susancinsf
I see your point from the perspective of the online menu.
However, when I checked the recent chow reviews, all of them seemed to note that Scott Howard had become rather small plates focused.
I might have to try their prix fixe as well, as it seems a bit of a bargain!
As for Fish and Farm, I'm really excited about going there, the whole locally sourced thing seems rather fun! The cost-benefit is something to be considered. But $10 for seafood chowder isn't really all that bad, if (and ONLY if) it's fresh, chock full of seafood and cream based. Those really are expensive ingredients and should command somewhat more of a premium price.
re: susancinsf
I dined at Fish & Farm on Sunday evening and agree with what Susan said here...the menu was pretty heavy and there wasn't much that jumped out at me as 'must order' That being said, the venison spare ribs were excellent, as was my lamb shoulder. All in all, I probably won't return unless the menu changes.
went for dinner last night for 4. foodwise was fine (ribeye, sablefish, salmon, venison ribs, salt cod fritters, bread pudding and pear crisp were all good to very good; filet mignon was reported as undercooked and lacking flavor), service was pretty rough. they comped us quite a bit, but they need a lot more experience before i'd plan another dinner there. it'll get better, for sure, but in time.
Four of us ate there last night. We had:
- fried oyster and pumpkin salad
- market salad (beets, endive, jack cheese, almonds)
- grilled calamari with butter beans and harissa
- house-made pappardelle with mushrooms
- grilled salmon with potato gnocchi, pancetta, and kabocha squash
Everything I had was delicious -- most plates were completely empty when cleared. The squid reminded me of a Moroccan version of Delfina's calamari salad, one of my favorite dishes in town. The salmon was excellent, and its accompaniments were well-conceived. My parents enjoyed their wine, and the service was good. We wanted more vegetables, so the kitchen made us a side dish of greens that wasn't on the menu, which we appreciated. They have an amazing corkage policy -- just $5 if you bring a California bottle of wine; $10 if it's from outside California.
One of the owners came by and spoke with us, and they seemed very happy to have us there.
I think the main downside to Fish and Farm is the location -- we parked on Jones Street and walked down O'Farrell -- areas that are a living example of the city's failure to deal with the homeless. It was a depressing way to begin the meal for my 60-something parents.
re: SteveTimko
My friend and I went to Fish and Farm on last week. When we arrived the place was packed and our table was not yet ready. We are seated at the bar for about 15 minutes, then we were seated at the restaurant. The restaurant was romantic/cute with candle lit tables but a little on the noisy side. The service at the restaurant was prompt and pleasant. The waitress seemed to know the menu and food well, so that was a plus. Unfortunately, the food didn't live up to the service. Below are my comments:
PAN COOKED LOCAL SEAFOOD CHOWDER with clams, calamari, oysters, smoked bacon and house made crackers - The flavors of the chowder was very good, but it was too salty to a point it wasn't enjoyable. The crackers I was told were made fresh daily, but I found the oil used to be very heavy and the texture of the crackers to be on the stale side.
FISH & FARM PLATE with grilled squid legs, cured sardines, prosciuttos, duck confit rillettes - the little squid legs were tender and excellent. I loved the cured sardines. I didn't find the prosciuttos or rillettes to be memorable.
GRILLED SALMON with sunchokes, rainbow chard, Tarragon vinaigrette - waitress told us that the salmon was going to be served rare. When it was served, I found the thick half to be well down, but thin part to be rare and tender. Salmon was not seasoned well and rather bland, but the chard served with it was very salty. Sunchokes were yummy.
RED WINE BRAISED LAMB SHOULDER with cranberry beans, pickled chantrelles and blood oranges - Lamb shoulder was rather dry for being braised. We found the combination of the meat and beans to be very heavy.
CHEF'S FARM PLATTER WITH HOUSE-PICKLED AND CURED VEGETABLES with Celery root salad, carrots pickles, cucumber pickles - cucumber and the celery root were very good. We thought the carrot pickles were too sour without having the sweetness or saltiness.
BRAISED GREENS - It's been few days since I started writing this and I can't remember what greens they were exactly, but this dish was so salty that we were not able to finish it.
We also had couple of mixed drinks at the bar before dinner and a glass of wine with dinner. The mix drinks were yummy.
Overall, I still loved the concept of the restaurant, but the food did not live up to the expectation. I can taste the fresh ingredients they use, but the too much salt on some of the food really bothered me and made the dining experience unpleasant. I probably won't go back there again.
I went to Fish & Farm last weekend with my wife and some friends.
The 'Farm' Martini: Well-balanced and nice herbal flavor, with some "dirtiness" at the end.
Fish & Farm Julep: I'm not sure what the standard is for Juleps, but this was very good.
WINE: We brought two CA bottles with us. $5 corkage is very nice.
Marrow special: Served with some greens, and toasts for spreading. Very savory.
Fresh Monterey Squid: Good grilled flavor, nice texture, greens were well dressed.
Slow roasted salmon: Interesting, but the texture was a bit confusing. I'm not sure what "mit-cuit" is supposed to be. Perhaps someone can help me.
Fish & chips: Battered and fried delicately, with good cod flavor (cf. recent review by Michael Bauer). French Fries were very good. Homemade malt vinegar and tartar sauce had good flavor.
We ordered the carrot cake, cheese plate, pot de creme, and sorbet, although none was a standout.
I love the concept, and the food tasted exquisitely fresh and well-seasoned. I also appreciate the favorable corkage and excellent cocktails. I hope to go back at some point this Spring.
re: jouronald
"Mi-cuit" means half-cooked. The texture's kind of half-raw.
re: Robert Lauriston
It's the extra "t" that makes it tough.
