Dear Amy: In the nine out of 10 birthday parties that my 5-year-old daughter attended last year, presents were not opened at the party. Often at a party facility, there was a large bin at the entrance for us to deposit the present in. At some point during the party, the bin quietly was wheeled to the car, and the trunk was loaded with the gifts.
Sometimes the gift was acknowledged; other times we were forever left to wonder if our gift ever made it to the trunk. After the party my daughter would ask me if her friend liked the gift we gave. I would tell her we hope so and maybe we would find out.
As an elementary-school teacher I think opening gifts at the party is a wonderful learning opportunity. It encourages a child to make eye contact with the gift giver as they thank them for the gift. It also helps children learn how to deal with moments such as receiving two of the same or similar gifts with grace.
My husband's co-worker recently attended a bridal shower in which the guests nibbled on finger sandwiches for three hours while the gifts sat untouched in the corner of the room. The guests were thanked for attending and sent home.
I used to feel strongly that it was always better to give than receive. Now, I'm wondering.
Amy says: I see this trend, too — and have the same reaction. I wish all of these events could be kept smaller and more scaled in human proportions, partly because today's over-gifted 5-year-old becomes tomorrow's demanding, entitled and ungrateful Bridezilla/Frankengroom.
Let's start a new trend: proportional partying.
Friend is over-gamed
Dear Amy: I am the mother of a 10-year-old boy. My best friend "Mary's" son is the same age and the boys enjoy each other.
Mary gave her son "Peter" a large flat-screen TV for his room. Peter plays "Call of Duty," "Black Ops II," "Halo" and other violent "mature" rated games constantly. No kidding, this kid played these games for hours every day this summer.
When Peter doesn't have a gaming console in front of him, he cries and says he's bored within just a couple of minutes. I have mentioned to Mary that she should not allow so much time with violent games, but she doesn't listen. I have suggested other activities, and she says she's too lazy.
I love the whole family, but cannot allow my son to continue to be exposed to that interactive violence. My son is starting to complain because he doesn't have a TV in his bedroom.
Apart from not going to her house anymore because I do not want my child playing these games (and her son will not stop playing them), what can I do?
What can I say without causing a rift?
Amy says: Your words or actions will not cause a rift with your friend unless you judge her and tell her how to be a parent.
She could definitely use some instruction, mind you — but a mother who declares herself to be "too lazy" to do the right thing is not going to be receptive to you.

Former mayor gambled $1 billion
|Former San Diego mayor Maureen O'Connor is in San Diego Thursday, Feb. 14, 2013, where she admitted in federal court that she misappropriated $2 million from her late husband's charitable foundation due to a gambling addiction in which won more than $1 billion but lost even more over nearly a decade. O'Connor made the acknowledgement Thursday in an agreement with the government to defer prosecution for two years while she attempts to repay the debt.

SAN DIEGO — She married a fabulously wealthy man decades her elder, and became the first female mayor of San Diego. But when Maureen O'Connor left public life, she spent countless hours seated in front of video-poker machines.
Over a nine-year period, she wagered an estimated $1 billion, including millions from a charity set up by her late husband, who founded Jack in the Box.

Almere, Netherlands
Dutch suspect in case Amanda Todd to court Amsterdam today
C. 's case gained notoriety by Canadian teen Amanda Todd. The 15-year-old girl from Vancouver committed suicide in October 2012. The extortion of C. would have driven it thereto. A month before her death, Todd put a video on YouTube in which she explained was doing its vicissitudes. The video has been viewed millions of times.
According to C. 's attorney, Christian van Dijk, there are so far, including Amanda Todd, identified eight potential victims. The investigation of victims who are behind usernames are still continuing, said the lawyer today. The exact number of casualties is not yet known. According to Van Dijk "Justice has dozens." The victims would except from the Netherlands come from the United States, Canada, England and Norway.
Aydin C. would have been working for years: the charge covers the period from January 2008 until the day of C. 's arrest, January 13 this year. The police picked him up in a cottage on a holiday in Oisterwijk.

I install all important and optional updates for Windows (other than bing desktop crap).
As for the display driver; it's just that I've tried a lot of different drivers, even beta drivers however it never gets passed the instant lights on power on to instantly power off. Could that be caused by GPU drivers? I never get to see anything on the screen and it's always the boot device LED that lights up on my mobo....
I don't mean to be arrogant/disrespectful or even uncooperative, I just don't understand why it could still be the graphics driver ^^
|My System Specs
|21 Mar 2013
Because it's almost always the Display driver.
Confirm you've tried everything else for Sleep Mode Problems - Vista Forums.
Let's see if we can get Hibernate to work: Hibernate - Enable or Disable - Windows 7 Forums
Then choose Balanced Power Options, Advanced Settings> Set Sleep to 1 min, Hibernate to 2 minutes, save.
Reboot to see what happens.
|My System Specs
|25 Mar 2013
Tried sleeping and resuming after booting up in 'diagnostic mode' and disabling hibernate; this time, when it went to sleep... the lights didn't turn off or the fans but the screen went blank and it just stayed that way. I left it for ~15mins and nothing happened, had to do a cold reboot to get it back =/
Tried setting it to hibernate after 5 mins after disabling sleep and rebooting in diagnostic mode but the same original thing happened; lights turned on and fans spun up for a second then shut down again.
I'll try getting it to hibernate with 'balanced power options' soon (instead of the high power option ive been using)
|My System Specs
|27 Mar 2013
win7 64bit
Try to get driver updates from your pc maker and not windows, since they can be different, and that is crucial.
Also in my experience, the ASCAPI Sleep state setting in BIOS setup does not always show S3, but sleep should still work.
|My System Specs
|27 Mar 2013
I did not suggest trying one or the other Hibernate or Sleep, but both. Try again and follow the suggested steps.
Balanced plan may help.
Use the drivers provided by Win7 first (this is not XP) and then if those don't work import the latest Display driver from the PC or display adapter's Support Downloads webpage. If that fails try an older driver working backward.
Did it ever work correctly? Find that driver.
|My System Specs
|02 Apr 2013
My apologies, I meant to say that I did try the sleep then hibernate combo;
I've noticed now (or at least it does it now) that after instantly powering off after I try to resume it from sleep, the next time it boots, it boots with a black screen with a blinking underscore. As for trying the default windows 7 drivers for my GPU is there any special program I should use to remove the old drivers or is just a regular uninstall okay? I have an Nvidia GTX 560ti but I do know AMD drivers are an absolute pain in the arse to fix/update/remove etc....
|My System Specs
|02 Apr 2013
Just uninstall the old drivers in Control Panel and device Manager, then install the latest. Run Windows UPdate first to see if they provide one under IMportant or Optional after enabling Automatically deliver drivers via Windows Update (Step 3)

Rajon Rondo's teammates privately wish he worked harder, according to Jackie Mac
Questions are destined to be Rajon Rondo's pet dog, following him everywhere no matter how productive and masterful he becomes as an NBA point guard. What if he added a jump shot? Why doesn't he get to the line more often? What if he could attack the rim every night like he does on some? Why can't he play just as well during a Wednesday night meeting with the Charlotte Bobcats as he does on nationally televised outings against the Miami Heat?
Rondo has matured (Sunday notwithstanding), boosted his consistency, become one of the NBA's top point guard and entered the conversation surrounding the imaginary "Celtics team MVP" trophy. But still, his teammates wonder if he realizes the unique nature of his skill, intelligence and natural ability. (ESPN)
"But I don't look at how good Rondo is, I look at how good he can be," [Ray] Allen said. "The NBA isn't about being drafted and being here. It's what you can accomplish while you are here.
"I think if there has ever been any criticism from in our locker room [about Rondo], it's 'Dude, you realize how good you could be?'"
Jackie MacMullan tells the story of Rondo becoming his own man. Whereas he once copied Ray Allen's pregame routine, arriving at the gym 3.5 hours early and hoisting a set amount of jumpers, Rondo no longer subscribes to the Ray Allen theory. Part of that is becoming his own man, finding his own lane, determining a pregame routine that is best for himself, rather than somebody else. Allen's strict regiment doesn't work for everybody. But Allen and his teammates seem to wonder how good Rondo would become if he worked a little harder, if his practice habits were a little different.
As MacMullan describes his teammates' thoughts, Rondo sounds a little like Allen Iverson.
With that has come the need to establish his own identity — and generate some independence from the three Hall of Famers who have mentored him from the start. Naturally, that process has, at times, created some discomfort. Privately, his veteran teammates wish Rondo worked harder, longer. And yet, in the same breath, they laud his toughness, fearlessness and insatiable thirst for competition.
Iverson and Rondo are obviously completely different players — one enjoys passing to teammates even if he has an open layup, the other was dead set on scoring 40 or more points every night while ignoring Eric Snow and Aaron McKie on the wing. Yet they are similarly small packages of flamboyance, energy and resiliency which have never before entered the NBA and might never be replicated. They're the types of players who hit the ground 12 or 13 times per game, drawing bumps and bruises after collisions with mammoths who carry 100 more pounds of muscle, yet they bounce to their feet every time — Rondo, often after staying on the ground for several seconds to dramatize the scene. Their competitive streaks will never be questioned because their passion is clear for all to see, like a neon sign flashing atop their foreheads. Yet both had their work ethics questioned — Iverson by everyone he ever played with and Rondo by his star teammates, privately.
I'm not saying Rondo is similarly adverse to practice, or that he's going to destroy a press conference one of these days by repeatedly noting, "We talking 'bout practice. Not even a game, practice." I'm not even necessarily agreeing with the Big Three's reported stance that he spends too little time on his game. Just because the Big Three think you can work harder doesn't mean you're a slouch. Allen, Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce are all among the NBA's hardest workers. They could probably find fault in Rondo's practice habits if he only practiced seven hours per day. In fact, John Calipari saw Rondo preparing during the offseason and predicted "a knockout year" for Rondo because "I can't tell you how hard Rondo's working. It's incredible." There's other evidence Rondo works quite hard, too: He's added quite a bit of muscle since arriving in the NBA and seems to return each season better than the last.
But if Rondo's star teammates believe he could work harder, his habits have room for improvement. He could stand to arrive at the gym an extra hour earlier and shoot jump shots until the basket feels a little bit wider. His shot remains an exercise in inconsistency and his free throws have all the soft touch of a weight-lifter's calloused hand.
I have thoroughly enjoyed watching Rondo's development and I imagine I will always thoroughly enjoy the unbridled nature of his game, as it relates to both his passion and his ability to thrive in moments of chaos. Other than watching the 2008 championship unfold, I've never been more thrilled by a Celtics game than the time Rondo returned to the court seven minutes after dislocating his elbow, with his arm dangling limply by his side. Rondo does not back down from anybody and plays through pain even Mr. Miyagi couldn't cure. Despite his flaws, he's capable of occasionally pretending to be the NBA's very finest player.
But if Rondo's teammates think he could use more hours in the gym, he probably could.

they should rig the celtics driveway contest for him to win so he can shoot free throws at home.

I think they just don't see everything Rondo does. It's impossible to keep improving as he has done without working at it.
That said, I think it's a great idea to encourage him to work harder, because I think many of us can agree that his talent is off the charts.

If the standard of working out is KG's or RA's then I have no problem with RR's current level. As long as he performs as needed then picking everything possible about RR apart is a disservice to him and his teammates. When everyone holds every player to the KG/RA/Kobe level of working out then everyone can bitch. Go Cs…RR will be on fire tonight!
Like or Dislike: 3 0
I'm just saying that as far as we know Rondo IS working at that level, but in his own way. Allen kind of suggests that this could be the case, and Macmullen kind of goes along with that, mentioning the Calipari comment this summer.

Yet another water question
OK....here's what I would like to know. Have any of you seen a vast improvement in weight loss when actually drinking the recommended amount of water? I am not doing well, at all, with losing even though I have the carb thing and the craving thing under control....however, I haven't been drinking the water. I would just like to hear from some of you who had a similar experience and found that drinking 64+ ounces of water a day really got the scale moving. :dunno:
Yesterday I did manage to get down about 30 ounces of water and am really going to put a great effort into increasing the amount every day. This is so much harder than I thought it would be. Every day I find out that something I ate the day before had hidden carbs and boy do they add up! I doubt that I have ever been under 25/day in 3 months of doing this :annoyed: I don't know if I should just give up or maybe try something else. I love this w.o.e. but I am so stressed with not seeing a decent weight loss (I have at least 60 pounds to lose) and stressed about every little thing that I eat :stars:
I am worried that I am eating too much....I am worried that I am eating too little....I am worried that I'm not getting enough fat....and I am definitely concerned because I haven't been drinking the water....at all.
It's a good question . . . my guess is that most people will say yes, although on this topic I've heard people say no. I am inclined toward drinking more water and, like you. it can be a challenge. Not sure why it is so hard to drink water! I know I have been low on water of late and feel the need to increase.
My view in terms of your weight loss is that you should work on cutting the carbs, especially since you recognize that you are usually close to 25 or more than 20 or fewer. Where might you cut those carbs a bit? You say you usually discover the hidden carbs the day after, but with a bit of planning couldn't you start avoiding them?
Just some thoughts! Folks here can offer tons of help if you care to post some typical daily menus.
For *me*, the answer is yes, definitely. Times when I have been successfully losing, drinking TONS of water is a huge part in that. It makes such a difference for me. When I am actively on plan, I drink at least 3 of my "bubba" water cups -- 32 ozs each. One during the morning, one during the afternoon and one at home in the evening. That's a *least*. I am a big liquid drinker anyway, typically only water or water lightly flavored with powdered tea mix (and I do mean lightly flavored).
I do think it can vary by individual though.
What plan are you on?
Free From Fat - I have a question for you. What diet plan are you on? I notice that your w.o.e. is less than 30 carbs a day. That is where I am....well, I guess closer to 25 but defintely not strictly under 20 :sad:!! Are you pleased with your weight loss? I started mid January and have only lost 10 pounds! I am pretty discouraged and that's why I asked the water question.
Just to throw my 2 cents in. In my experience it has not made any difference in weight loss. I tried that hoping that it would because i am in the same boat as you described. i have tried and experimented and quit drinking any pop or anything besides water and was drinking 3 or 4 of my 52 ounce mugs every day for over 3 weeks. during that time i did not lose any weight, so i have kind of ruled out that as a possible cause. Most will probably say yes, but in my experience the answer was a definite no.
When I am sticking to it, here is what my day of eating may look like:
B: coffee with half and half; eggs w/??? (salsa, other veggie, just cheese...) and a small meat
L: a protein and a veggie
D: a protein, a veggie and *maybe* a starch; last night I had a very small baked potato, like 3 bites small
I don't trim fat from meat, I eat the crispy chicken skin, I eat lots of butter, I eat full fat mayo and salad dressing. I don't weigh or measure anything either.
When I stick to this, I lose and I am pleased at the rate. My problem is in sticking to it long-term :sad: It's not that it's hard for me, it's that I get cocky once I start losing, and I say "oh, I can have this, it's just this little bit"...and the rest is history!
Hope that helps.
For the water question: no, for me it doesn't seem to increase my losses. I drink when I'm thirsty, but don't make it a point to get in a certain amount every day. For your other concerns: you have lost 10 pounds since January. That's actually not too bad. When I am losing, I expect about a pound a week. What would giving up look like to you? Would you try another plan (low fat, low calorie perhaps?), or would you stop trying to lose weight? I'm asking because you will still have challenges if you switch plans. For instance, hidden calories and fat. And you may still be obsessed with every little thing you eat. That doesn't seem to an issue specifically related to low carbing. It sounds like you are still learning which foods are within your plan (that's OK, the whole thing is a learning process, even for those who've been doing it for years). Have you tried reading a few books and educating yourself further on label-reading, etc.? You may be someone who loses a little slowly, but steadily. Not a bad thing in my book.
I've been reading up on this lately and have seen a couple articles saying that all drinking a bunch of water does is send you to the bathroom more often, that your body gets rid of the water so fast it isn't any benefit. They say to eat more water rich foods.
And of course in looking this morning I can't find any links :annoyed: I wish I could remember where I read that.
I don't think the amount of water I drink makes the scale move faster or slower, as long as I don't get dehydrated.
BUT, drinking water is really helping me: 1. Not be constipated, and 2. Not have bad "keto" breath or body odor.
I think water is very important for weight loss but I am not one of those big water people...I drink lots of ice tea and flavored water all day and that seems to work for me....I drink just plain water when we go out for a meal....that is a little goal for me...

Global-Tech Advanced Innovations Announces Fiscal 2013 Results
Mr. Sham continued, "We are striving to address these and other cost issues, including certain manufacturing costs previously absorbed by our home appliance business prior to its discontinuation in January 2012. As part of these efforts, we have started to lease some of the unused space in our manufacturing facility that was previously occupied by our home appliance business. However, we do not expect our efforts to adjust our cost structure will have a material impact on our operating results until the second or third quarter of fiscal 2014, at which time we believe we will return to profitability. Until such time we expect our net cash position to continue to remain strong."
Mr. Sham concluded, "As previously disclosed, the expansion of our CCM production capacity through the installation of three chip-on-board (COB) production lines and a Class 10 clean room was recently completed. We are pleased to report that our CCM business has started receiving orders that require the use of our new COB production lines. Since COB production lines are capable of producing higher-pixel camera modules and other precision-related devices, we believe that our CCM business will continue to grow through the addition of new customers and the sale of higher profit margin products. As such, we are cautiously optimistic about the growth opportunities of our CCM business and expect our CCM sales to increase and profitability in this business segment to gradually improve in the coming months."
Global-Tech Advanced Innovations Inc. is a holding company, owning subsidiaries that manufacture and market a diversified portfolio of products, such as complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) and camera modules (CCMs). The primary focus of its subsidiaries is to develop and market high-quality products for the communications industry in China and export such products to markets in other countries throughout the world.

What fun! Yes! The evening was "hoot!". So many good musicians introduced by Miz Kitty in a terrific costume with trivia and quotes by the great Dolly Parton. Some of the musicians included: Katie Sawicki and the Cabin Project,Led To Sea, Megan Spear, What Hearts, Kelly Ann Masigat,Sarah Gwen, Rachel Robinson, Huck Notari, Naomi LaViolette and so many more. And, of course, The Alberta Rose Theater is a terrific venue with tasty food and drink.

Sexual Harassment 2011:
1 Erock, Thu, 8th Dec '11 7:07:47 PM from Toronto
Proud CanadianIt seem organizations all across North America are being charged with sexual harassment offences - the RCMP, Scouts Canada, US college sports, among others. Are we seeing a move toards transperancy, or is this jsut a purge resulting from a domino effect?
If you don't like a single Frank Ocean song, you have no soul.
2 Gabrael, Thu, 8th Dec '11 7:54:44 PM from My musings Relationship Status: Is that a kind of food?
I don't know. It's hard to tell. While I understand the victims of sexual abuse being hesitant to come forward, I thought we as a society have learned that in cases of sexual harassment you can speak up and you'll actually benefit from it. (Politicians and Celebrities doing payoffs or what not.) It just seems like in Herman Cain's case, did they speak up because it really happened and they finally felt secure, or was it because he was running for president? I just feel if it is a sincere case, you shouldn't do anything to jeopardize your credibility by waiting. Especially when at least in America, there is a lawyer on every corner practically.
Upon death, I want to be cremated and blown in the face of my enemies.
The system doesn't know you right now, so no post button for you.
You need to Get Known to get one of those.

This was our before kitchen and then our kitchen we planned and did ourselves.
January 19, 2013 in Before & After
Galley kitchen but have a view of the sound, which we couldn't see because of the low cabinets. Kitchen too small and dining room too big for two people. We love how it turned out. Now wondering if I should put door pulls on or leave it.
It looks great! Awesome work. The backsplash is quite lovely! I would recommend putting on door pulls in either a chrome or brushed nickel finish. It will break up the cabinetry a little bit and really tie in nicely with your appliances.

Beautiful transformation! The upper cabinets that overhang peninsulas are something that just never works in my opinion.
Congratulations on a beautiful kitchen and the bonus view you get now.

$750K grant may bring big changes to South Berkeley
The city of Berkeley is hoping to dramatically rethink many elements of South Berkeley, thanks to a $750,000 planning grant it received from the Metropolitan Transportation Commission in May.
South Shattuck Avenue and nearly 1 mile of Adeline Street in South Berkeley might see more affordable housing, pedestrian- and bike-friendly neighborhoods, more park areas, a new theater, mass transit improvements, and more.
Those are just some of the ideas that have been proposed so far. Before any plan is adopted, officials will hold community meetings and do other outreach to gather ideas from residents, businesses and local groups and institutions. The grant will also permit Berkeley to do an environmental study, the city said earlier this year. (That study would "allow streamlined CEQA review for future projects on Adeline and south Shattuck Avenue," according to project materials.) … Continue reading »

Domino's wins approval to open in South Berkeley
A new Domino's Pizza shop promising artisan options and a place for customers to watch pizzas being crafted won approval Tuesday night from the Berkeley City Council to open in South Berkeley after a lengthy battle with some of its neighbors.
Owners of the family-run pizza franchise have been trying to open at 3264 Adeline St. since late 2013, but have faced multiple appeals by opponents. City staff initially approved the application in January, but it was appealed by Houshmand Ghaderi, who owns The Vault Cafe, nearby at 3250 Adeline.
Ghaderi took issue with a parking waiver granted by the city to Domino's and said he didn't think the corporate chain would be a good fit with the neighborhood, which has been on the upswing in recent years.
The city Zoning Adjustments Board approved the Domino's application unanimously in April, but Ghaderi again appealed. His appeal was rejected by the Berkeley City Council on Tuesday night. … Continue reading »
Berkeley woman sprayed by liquid, struck, robbed
A woman walking in South Berkeley near Malcolm X Elementary School on Saturday night was assaulted and robbed, police said Monday, after being sprayed with an unknown liquid.
The woman was walking at 9:45 p.m. near Prince and Ellis streets, not far from the Ashby BART station, when two people approached her, said Officer Jennifer Coats, Berkeley Police spokeswoman, in response to a request from Berkeleyside.
The woman, a Berkeley resident, looked down momentarily and was "sprayed by a liquid," which Coats said was "most likely pepper spray. " … Continue reading »

Last weekend, city staff and officials held a public meeting at the South Berkeley Senior Center to begin to brainstorm with local residents and merchants what some of the local priorities are.

Despite the fact that the Ming's Chinese Food sign still hangs proudly above the small storefront on the corner of Alcatraz and Martin Luther King, it's clear that the restaurant is no longer selling stir-fries. Instead of take-out menus and lucky fish tanks, there's now an array of Mardi Gras beads and hot sauce bottles lining the windowsill. A precociously dressed mannequin stands watch at the door. And several sandwich board signs line the sidewalks up and down the block directing passers-by to the one and only Easy Creole, the über casual restaurant that has been serving informal Louisiana cuisine in the former Ming's space since last spring. … Continue reading »
South Berkeley robberies on the rise near Ashby BART
Armed robbers have been targeting the South Berkeley neighborhood east of the Ashby BART station in recent months, with a spike in robbery reports since mid-November.
Over the past 60 days, there have been at least 28 robberies reported in the area between Adeline Street and Telegraph Avenue — between Ashby and Alcatraz avenues — in South Berkeley and North Oakland. (That number includes several reports just outside those borders.)
From mid-July to mid-September, there were six reports in that area, according to crime statistics posted online by local police agencies. During the next two months there were seven robberies reported in the vicinity. Most of those incidents, from both periods, took place in Berkeley. Then, from mid-November through mid-January, there were 15 reports, split nearly equally between Berkeley and Oakland. At least eight of those involved firearms. (One of those incidents happened Tuesday and does not yet appear as part of the available data set.) … Continue reading »
Police join forces on Berkeley-Oakland robbery series
Berkeley Police Department has started a joint patrol with BART Police and is collaborating with the Oakland Police Department to investigate a rash of armed robberies involving stolen cars that have been concentrated within a few blocks of each other on the North Oakland-South Berkeley border near Ashby BART station.
Berkeley Police believe three robberies that happened in Berkeley may be related, based on the similar descriptions of the suspects, the modus operandi and the location of the crimes, and they are working with OPD to determine if any of several North Oakland robberies connect to the Berkeley ones. "We are sharing information to determine any possible connections and are following leads as they develop," said Berkeley Police spokeswoman Officer Jennifer Coats.
Because of the proximity of the crimes to Ashby BART station, Berkeley Police started to partner with a BART officer focusing on crime prevention in the area, "similar to its program with UCPD regarding robbery suppression patrol," they said. … Continue reading »
Berkeley's Sacramento Street corridor on the rise
Berkeley city staff are taking aim at a South Berkeley neighborhood that has struggled economically in recent years by teaming up with residents, as well as business and property owners, to make improvements hoped to make a difference in the near-term along Sacramento Street.
Last week, some 30 people attended a meeting at San Pablo Park to review possible changes and collect community feedback for efforts that are underway. Among attendees were the city's director of public works, Andrew Clough; director of parks and recreation, Scott Ferris; public works engineer Ahsan Kazmi; Jim Hynes, assistant to the city manager; and Berkeley Police Capt. Erik Upson.

Duo to open Creekwood restaurant in South Berkeley
Two lifelong friends have teamed up to renovate a former bike shop in South Berkeley to create a new neighborhood restaurant in an area that's undergone a revival this year.
Creekwood Café & Catering — still at least six months from opening — is the brainchild of Greg Poulios and Mark Louie. Both are 44-year-old California natives who met as pre-school students in Oakland. They stayed friends through high school and college, then later worked at the same restaurant in San Francisco. Their lives continued to be interwoven in the decades since.
"We've always talked about doing something of our own," said Poulios. "We were looking around and we finally found the spot." … Continue reading »

Black Panther son opening Rasa Caffe in Berkeley
Rasa Sun Mott is hesitant to say he's opening a café because the universe aligned to make it so. It sounds too hokey, or too Berkeley, he says. But he admits it does feel that way, saying "It just feels right," repeating it for emphasis.
Mott, an Oakland native and the son of two high-profile Black Panther activists, just concluded a successful Kickstarter campaign that helped him raise enough funds to help him open Rasa Caffe, on Adeline Ave., near Ashby BART. The café is scheduled to open in a month.
"If you would have told me two weeks ago that I would raise $10,000 in five days I would never have believed it," he said. "It pushed me out of my comfort zone to do this, but at the same time, it was such a natural process to have my concept come to life."
Mott is the son of educator Ericka Huggins and James Mott, a singer in the Black Panther group the Lumpen. They never married, and Mott was raised by his mother, in a home with activists like Huey Newton and Angela Davis always around the house. In the 70s, Huggins founded the Oakland Community School in East Oakland, a school that not only fed its students, said Mott, but clothed them and sent their parents home with groceries.
Along with her activism, Huggins was interested in yoga and meditation, which affected young Mott as well. At age 12, he declared he wanted to go to India, and he went with a guardian to live in an ashram, without his mother. He returned there again to live when he was 16. … Continue reading »

Calling all artists: Chances to make your mark in Berkeley
Two local organizations have put out separate calls seeking artists to participate in projects underway in collaboration with the city of Berkeley.
One of the projects, with a focus on sprucing up utility boxes, is spearheaded by the Earth Island Institute's Streets Alive! effort, and the other comes from Expressions, a local art gallery that's organizing a January 2014 show about homelessness.
Brighten the streetscape
Streets Alive! is looking for local artists to design six utility boxes in South Berkeley — on Sacramento and Adeline streets — and on Telegraph Avenue near UC Berkeley.
The call for artists outlines thematic suggestions for each box, along with its proposed general location: Sacramento Street (sustainability); Adeline Street in the Lorin District (arts and theatre; the farmers market; food and eats; and diverse cultures); and Telegraph Avenue ("Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow on Telegraph Avenue").
Streets Alive! welcomes artists "of most art mediums," including painters, photographers, mixed-media artists and graphic designers. Artists are asked to submit three to five work samples and complete an application. Portfolios will be accepted, via email or postmarked, through Nov. 15.
Any artist from Alameda County is eligible, though "strong preference" will be given to Berkeley-based artists. Artists whose designs are selected will receive a stipend of $300 to $400 for the creation of a final design; all rights of use and ownership will be turned over to the city of Berkeley and the Earth Island Institute in the end. … Continue reading »
Nano-brewpub and lounge planned for Alcatraz Ave.
A new nano-brewpub in the Lorin District recently won approval from Berkeley's zoning commissioners, and looks poised to join the ranks of Berkeley's burgeoning beer scene later this year.
Owner Viet Vu, who lives in San Francisco with his wife, said he's aiming to open the spot, at 1763 Alcatraz Ave., within seven months. Vu, 37, said the atmosphere will be intimate and laid-back, with several kinds of house-brewed beer for sale along with 10-13 other local craft beers to drink on-site. Wine and light snacks will be available, but distilled alcohol will not be served.
(Update, March 29: The restaurant will be called Hoi Polloi Brewpub, and owner Viet Vu told us the background: "I always liked the idea of the 99% so to speak. I always liked the idea of: This is who we all are, this mass of people. I grew up in a working-class background, and the name kind of represents that.") … Continue reading »

CORPUS CHRISTI - Lawmakers in Washington may be celebrating, but not every veteran is so optimistic about a bill signed into law today that aims to improve their health care.
The main goals of the $16B bill are:
-to allow the hiring of more doctors and staff for VA hospitals and clinics
-to make it easier to fire low performing VA executives
-to allows veterans who can't get to a clinic or a hospital because of distance or delays more access to private doctors and facilities
But Adrian De Los Santos believes it's all talk, with very little action.
He waited four years for surgery on his hand, and questions whether this is really an attempt to fix the system or just to silence the complaints.
"It's all lip service," he says, "look what we did, pat ourselves on the back. Four years from now, five years from now, ask me this question again, and I'll tell you how I feel. Right now, no. Back in the South, remember when they used take the dough and say 'here, hush puppy?' That's what it is. 'Here, we have you something, here, hush.'"
Congressman Blake Farenthold believes it will make a difference.
He told KRIS 6 News after the signing that the local VA clinic is among the facilities that suffers from big delays in appointments.
He believes this action, which opens the door to more private care, will have a big impact in the Coastal Bend.
"We want to get them treated as quickly and easily as possible. If we can't do it in-house, we want to make it easier elsewhere," he said.
Farenthold also plans on meeting with the local Nueces County Medical Society during the summer break, to speak with area physicians about how to provide better care for veterans.

Rimrock Pleasure
Trail Saddles
For Sale on eBay
Manufacturer: Simco
Model: Rimrock Pleasure
Category: Trail Saddles
Purchase: I purchased this saddle used for $200 from a private seller because it fit a little "hard to fit" mare I was training.
Likes: Overall it's a decent saddle. Other than training the little mare, I mostly use it for trail riding and I've become a fan of the hardseat when I'm spending 5+ hours sitting in it! It fits smaller QHs like a glove, and whenever someone else rides in it I always get compliments on how comfortable it actually is.
Dislikes: This saddle is UGLY! I know it's the most minor, picky point when reviewing a saddle, but I don't like the look of this saddle at all! The leather is died a dark, reddish brown that is impossible to match and the skirts are halfway between round and square. The tooling is obviously stamped and shallow. On a more serious note, I find this saddle pulls my legs too far forward and sits me in too much of a "chair" position. I've tried re-adjusting the fenders but I find my legs are always pulled forward anyway. I prefer a more balanced riding position, particularly when doing ringwork.
Quality: This saddle is well built with very decent quality. It was built in June of 1999 and is still in great shape. The tree is sound after being used regularly, the leather is thick but supple, the rigging is attached to the tree at the 3/4 position, with the option for a flank cinch in the skirt, and the seat is comfortable for long hours in the saddle. It has SQHB, and it fits smaller horses really well. I got a deal purchasing this saddle for only $200!
Summary: If you're looking for a lasting, comfortable trail saddle that won't break the bank, I highly recommend a Simco Rimrock Pleasure saddle.

Ted Robbins was a somewhat round, disheveled dressed pilot and the owner of Flying Aces of Opa Locka, Florida. The T-Shirts that represented this flight school included Opa Locka being misspelled as Opla Locka. The Flying Aces offices were furnished with mis-matched broken down seating and coffee cup ring stained tables. Ted was also one of the most talented pilots I have ever known. It was thrilling to witness, i.e. when I was attempting to land at Tamiami Airport and was over the numbers and still 900 feet above the ground when I should have only been a few feet. ,, Ted took over and did a maneuver where he made the Grumman TR-2 swing from side to side without any forward movement, until we touched down right on the numbers. It was the first and only time I ever heard gasps of amazement from control tower as they complimented the landing. Anyway in the course of learning flight rules such as when traveling East (0-179 degrees) with Visual Flight Rules (as opposed to Instrument Flight Rules) one always kept an altitude of x odd thousand increments plus 500 feet and traveling West the x even thousands of feet plus 500 feet. His final and noteworthy lesson on proper altitude was �If you feel the nudge to change altitude ...do so!!�
I do believe in Guardian Angels*...and following the �nudge�.
*Allies from other dimensions not easily explained in words as the dimensions can include from our own spirit in connection with higher wisdom
What do you feel about nudges?
I write this not to solicit sympathy but to warn others to be mindful of pets/loved ones having access to what seem innocent things..... like dog treat bags...
I am in a sad state of shock. When R and I came home this morning, I
found Kharma dead in my bedroom. She had stuck her head into plastic, foil
lined bag of dog biscuits, and suffocated. There has been a similar bag of
biscuits in same place every day for 7 years and never has any dog ever
messed with it. Horrible! We tried to revive her and now she is being
cremated. I can take some solace in knowing we loved her so specially every
day of her life. She was our very best cuddler and will be missed.
by Mark Twain
I suppose he is the hardest lot that wears feathers. Yes, and the cheerfulest, and the best satisfied with himself. He never arrived at what he is by any careless process, or any sudden one; he is a work of art, and �art is long�; he is the product of immemorial ages, and deep calculation; one can�t make a bird like that in a day. He has been reincarnated more times than Shiva; and he has kept a sample of each incarnation, and fused it into his constitution. In the course of his evolutionary promotions, his sublime march toward ultimate perfection, he has been a gambler, a low comedian, a dissolute priest, a fussy woman, a blackguard, a scoffer, a liar, a thief, a spy, an informer, a trading politician, a swindler, a professional hypocrite, a patriot for cash, a reformer, a lecturer, a lawyer, a conspirator, a rebel, a royalist, a democrat, a practicer and propagator of irreverence, a meddler, an intruder, a busybody, an infidel, and a wallower in sin for the mere love if it. The strange result, the incredible result, of this patient accumulation of all damnable traits is, that he does not know what care is, he does not know what sorrow is, he does not know what remorse is, his life is one long thundering ecstasy of happiness, and he will go to his death untroubled, knowing that he will soon turn up again as an author or something, and be even more intolerable capable and comfortable than ever he was before.
I received this in an email and it made my spirit soar.

I do not think it is the end of the World ....
A Song On The End Of The World
by Czeslaw Milosz
On the day the world ends
A bee circles a clover,
A fisherman mends a glimmering net.
Happy porpoises jump in the sea,
By the rainspout young sparrows are playing
And the snake is gold-skinned as it should always be.
On the day the world ends
Women walk through the fields under their umbrellas,
A drunkard grows sleepy at the edge of a lawn,
Vegetable peddlers shout in the street
And a yellow-sailed boat comes nearer the island,
The voice of a violin lasts in the air
And leads into a starry night.
And those who expected lightning and thunder
Are disappointed.
And those who expected signs and archangels' trumps
Do not believe it is happening now.
As long as the sun and the moon are above,
As long as the bumblebee visits a rose,
As long as rosy infants are born
No one believes it is happening now.
Only a white-haired old man, who would be a prophet
Yet is not a prophet, for he's much too busy,
Repeats while he binds his tomatoes:
No other end of the world will there be,
No other end of the world will there be.
by Robert Frost
Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
>From what I�ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

Amen Sister!!
Yeah. it is true. Forgiving is really powerful and empowers you to move on.
Holding in grudges really can hold you back in life.
Good going.
letting go is so hard. And so worthwhile. Well done, very well done indeed.
perfect...that's the moment when you realize that you are free...free to give unconditionally and love another with ALL of your heart.

Authorities say Conway teen unlikely to have run away
FBI Agent Kieran Ramsey said the investigation into the Oct. 9 disappearance of Hernandez has not ruled out any scenario in the case as of yet.
"This is a 15-year-old girl who had a vibrant social media presence that has now gone completely dark," Ramsey said, adding that authorities use the term "victimology" as a means of investigating, not because of any change in Hernandez' status.
Searchers looked again Thursday in targeted areas in town, checking out tips, as the investigation continues. There is no timetable set for the investigation, Ramsey said, and there is no immediate end in sight for investigators.
Ramsey said a lot of law enforcement resources, human and technical, have been dedicated to studying Hernandez' Facebook page.
"That part of the case has taken a lot of our time," he said, declining to elaborate on whether the social media investigation has produced leads.
Her page features many photos of her and boyfriend Jimmy Campbell, as well as several quotes that she posted in the past year.
Another reads: "I don't have time to hate people who hate me because I'm too busy loving people who love me."
Another: "Why do we sleep through church, but stay awake through a three-hour movie? Why is it hard to pray, but easy to cuss? Why is it hard to repost a Godly bulletin, but easy to repost the mean ones? Why can people worship a celebrity, but not God?"

Best Place to Go Fly a Kite Miami 2007 - Tropical Park
7900 Bird Road
Miami, FL 33155
A quick survey around New Times headquarters about flying kites unearthed a multitude of childhood memories about Tropical Park. Enter through the Miller Road entrance and there's a hill by the lake. Climb the hill, assemble your kite, take a deep breath, and run down the slope. The string will unwind from the spool and the kite will catch a breeze from the lake. With a tug, it will suddenly catch an updraft. Sweaty and exhilarated, slow your pace. Watch it soar.

Thread: Thoughts on Luka?

Thoughts on Luka?
Although for quite a long time now I have had Luca on my short list of names, it's never really jumped out at me, but in playing around with spelling variations of my favourites today, as soon as a swapped the 'c' our for a 'k', the name really jumped out and demanded my attention.
While comments on Luca would be great, I am most definitely preferring Luka at the moment, and would greatly appreciate opinions on the name with that spelling as well.
As for combos, I am currently looking at Luka Nathaniel, though that is subject to change should I find a name I like better, as Nathaniel doesn't really have much significance to me - I just like the sound and look of it.
After-thought: If spelled Luka, would it be more prone to being mistakenly written as Luke, than if it were to be spelled Luca?

I used to adore the name Luca, but it got a little too popular in the UK for me. However, I did once have Lukas on my list too, and I think it is quite interesting with the K and I'm never one to change spellings. The Luka/Lukas spellings are fairly popular in Germany, Poland and Austria, I do believe. I do think most people would assume it would be spelt with a 'C' but I don't mind it either way.
Luca Nathaniel or Luka Nathaniel would be a great combo, really like both names.Future Little PrinceIsaac - Solomon - Barnaby - Atticus - Ezekiel - Augustin - River - Jacoby - Castiel - Xavier

Senator: Government must intervene on gasoline pricing-A A +A
Tuesday, October 16, 2012
IN HIS talk with local radio in Cagayan de Oro, Senator Francis Escudero revived calls for the government to intervene with "uncontrollable" pricing of fuels in the provinces.
"Unlike in Metro Manila, oil companies have fear in media. They follow what's the right price to tag on their fuels. But in the provinces, the government must step in," Escudero said.
He said the prices of fuel products in Cagayan de Oro City are overpriced from P5 to P7 a liter compared to the actual prices in Metro Manila.
In the city, average price of regular gasoline per liter is now pegged at P57.60 from P56.90 last week; P57.20 from P56.40 for unleaded gasoline; and P48.15 from P47.80.
Escudero said he recently talked with officials from the Department of Energy (DOE) regarding the overpricing of fuel products not only in Cagayan de Oro but other provinces in the country as well.
"I told them (DOE) that it's unfair. But I think the DOE is inutile to do something about it because of the Oil Deregulation Law. Not all places in the country, but in most provinces there is overpricing," he said.
He added that there are some provisions of such law that need amendments.
"I am for amending the Oil Deregulation Law on two points. First, the government has to intervene on the pricing of fuel products by these oil companies; second, is for the government to act on overpricing at the provinces," he said.
The lawmaker vowed to support any move to amend the law.

Download New Horizons (also known as 大航海時代Ⅱ, Uncharted Waters 2: New Horizons, Uncharted Waters, Daikōkai Jidai II) for free now. Published in 1995 by KOEI Corporation, enjoy a strategy, simulation game with naval theme!
Uncharted Waters is the most un-KOEI game ever made by KOEI, perhaps because it is the only series not designed by Kou Shibusawa, the prolific founder of KOEI. Based on the high-seas adventure period in 17th century Europe, you are an honest merchant trying to amass fortune while coping with pirates and fickle mayors. In Uncharted Waters 2 you can choose to play as one of the characters, each with different goals and purposes. This makes the game highly replayable and adds refreshing RPG and adventure elements to the strategic game. If you love Sid Meier's classic Pirates! but want something a little different, this is the game for you. Two thumbs up!

A great installment in the Uncharted Waters series and sadly the last to be seen in North America. This game offers a great deal of swashbuckling, merchanting, and piracy. The player is allowed to select his or her own style of play, though certain characters are more suited to certain activities.
The Super Nintendo version of this game was vastly superior to the PC version in every respect. Down this game as a SNES rom. Play this version only if you feel like comparing the two.

The Acquisition of Aspect and Modality: The Case of Past Reference in Turkish - Cambridge Studies in Linguistics (Paperback)

Ayhan Aksu-Koc's empirical research on Turkish children's acquisition of the past tense forms the basis for this original and important contribution to the current debate among psycholinguistics on the interrelationship between language and cognitive development. Turkish, in its grammar, makes a clear distinction between direct and indirect experiencing, separating personal observation of processes from both inference and narrative. This distinction thus provides an ideal means by which linguistic and nonlinguistic conceptual development can be observed. Dr Aksu-Koc has exploited this to full advantage in her broadly based longitudinal and cross-sectional study, conducted across a wide age range. The data are meticulously analyzed, and the theoretical implications for a neo-Piagetian paradigm are carefully considered.
