Article—Three People in a Room: Dr. David Bullard on Couples in Therapy
with Dr. David Bullard and Zesho Susan O'Connell
in the Conference Center at 308 Page Street
Saturday, June 14, 2014
9 am - 4 pm
(CE credits available—see note* below)
Disappointments, arguments and fights, feeling misunderstood and distant from one another, getting or giving the "silent treatment"—we often find these dynamics woven into interactions with the family, friends and partners we love and care for.
This workshop will provide roadmaps for having healing conversations after the breakdowns created by disappointment or anger in intimacy. We will examine roadblocks to the healing that deep listening provides, and explore four mantras suggested by Thich Nhat Hanh and other specific ways to help us break through the impasses often experienced in emotionally close relationships. In addition to discussion, we will utilize group and dyadic exercises and brief personal writing to help us become more present and to increase resilience after reactivity and defensiveness, all while deepening our wisdom and compassion.
Together we will study how to better engage and embody relevant Zen practices, paired with practical teachings learned from many years of helping couples have deeper conversations and healing.
Singles as well as couples, therapists and non-ists are most welcome.
$100; $90 current SFZC members; $80 limited income.

LGR Jason Edens Featured in Midwest Energy News
Posted by: Kelley Welf on Apr 11, 2012
Jason Edens received a Lindbergh Grant in 2007 to determine whether it would be economically possible to use solar heat as a long-term solution for public energy assistance in the Midwest. The short answer is, "Yes!"
Five years since he received our grant, Jason's work is continuing and expanding. His solar energy panels have helped hundreds of families. He hopes to eventually bring the technology to such far-away places as Tajikistan, Mongolia and rural Russia.
Excerpt from "Midwest Energy News" Article
Twelve years ago, set out to transform heating and cooling assistance for low-income families into a clean, energy-independent solution. Since then, his organization, the Rural Renewable Energy Alliance (RREAL), has helped hundreds of families install low-cost solar furnaces to help reduce their energy bills.
"Tens of millions of Americans have to make challenging choices between eating and heating every winter," asserts Edens, director and founder of RREAL, a 12-year-old Minnesota-based nonprofit social enterprise that leverages solar technologies to keep struggling families warm in the winter. Over 15 percent of the U.S. population lives at or below the poverty line.

Projection Mapping on the Venetian Hotel
Feb 10, 2013 6:53 PM, By Cynthia Wisehart
Projection-mapped install is an entertainment and advertising platform
The permanent architectural projection system at the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas could be considered digital signage, large-format projection, or art. Or all three. The tradition of the nighttime spectacular goes back at least to the days of son et lumière (literally sound and light). A very few pioneering artists have since mapped still images and more recently video onto the contours of a building or natural environment—even onto a moving car.
In recent years, high-profile occasions, especially in Europe, feature dramatic projection mapping supported with what is often equally evocative: music. This amazing art form dazzles and transforms by night and literally vanishes by day, without a trace. The combination of very high impact and inconspicuous footprint makes it a shape-shifting and creative platform both for entertainment and commerce.
While most projection-mapped spectaculars have been event driven, a few so far—such as the system at the Venetian Hotel—are fixed installations. As such, with a change of content, they can support an ongoing variety of entertainment and marketing for the venue; these systems can also deliver new revenue as a high impact alternative for brand marketers. Architectural projection can blow away the biggest LED screen in terms of resolution, brightness, and creativity—at night anyway.
All this impact comes at a price, technically speaking. It is a format for experts, both in terms of the content and the playback systems. "The complex issues associated with large-scale video-mapping projects are not always readily apparent to the end-user," says Mike Brown-Cestero of integrator AVDB Group, Las Vegas, who first encountered the Venetian project while bidding it for his previous employer. Paul Turner, who is AVDB's project manager for the Venetian install, says that by the time he went to work on the project for a midsummer installation, the design had evolved to better reflect the scope and horsepower required.
Even so, Turner says, the job brought more unforeseen challenges than many integration jobs. "These types of projects are integration in the truest sense of the word," Turner says. At the Venetian, new and legacy systems converged as did a variety of engineering and construction disciplines. That's usually the case, of course, but rarely at this scale, in part because the systems have to operate so precisely. If you are in a boardroom and a projector is underpowered or under-cooled, has the wrong angle, or its alignment tends to slip a little, the fix might be a low enough cost to readily absorb. But a miscalculation with large-format projection can be a much costlier proposition to fix. This makes sense when you consider that just the four 35K Christie projectors that fill the 25x25-meter façade likely tally up in the $750,000 range.
Brown-Cestero says the original RFP presumed that less brightness would be required, and that source playback, cabling, and control would all be more like you might expect for a digital signage project. However, the high ambient light of the Las Vegas Strip, the viewing angles, and the geographic distance among systems components soon dictated more lumens and fiber-optic cable, as well as a true control system (in this case Alcorn-McBride V16 Pro) to bring together lighting, audio, and projector control; to interface with the mapping engine and the United Visual Artists' d3; and to pick up some control duties for dimming and BGM.
"One of the biggest challenges was ambient light," Turner says. In addition to the Strip spill, the hotel itself is bathed in an extensive array of 13-year-old lighting systems. Those lights had to come off for the show. The answer: individual event timers at every one of the far-flung, un-networked dimmers. "A whole part of this system, in some ways the hardest part, was simple high-school engineering-style contact closures," Turner says with a laugh.
Another source of ambient light is the three gigantic LED screens mounted on a small tower (the "Customs House") in the Venetian's lagoon directly across from the projection-mapped façade. Since the servers were located in another part of the Venetian campus, it was event controllers for those screens/servers too (though at press time there was a plan to relocate the servers and bring them under the V16 control).
The other answer, of course, came from the very bright Christie projectors, which in turn brought the next challenge: heat. The projectors are housed in the Customs House tower, framed on three sides by those big LEDs. A 6-ton air-conditioning unit (about the size of a Volkswagon bug) sits on top of the tower. Turner says moving ballast out of the building also helped with the heat load.
Because projection-mapped content requires very precise alignment of the projectors, AVDB also designed and built a track and dolly system to hold the projectors so they could be slid in and out of a locked position for service. Audio playback is through a L'Acoustics central cluster. Turner says it sounds beautiful, and that L'Acoustics (like Christie) was invaluably supportive. However, due to architectural and sightline limitations, the speakers could not be configured for stereo, and therefore could not deliver on the stereo and pan mix that was the sound artists' intent. People see the show from far right or far left and not from the center of the lagoon and hear a mono mix from a stereo source.
The centerpiece of the control architecture is the Alcorn McBride V16 Pro, which controls the MediaMatrix audio distribution, the D3 video/mapping players, the projectors, and the two tri-signs above the building. The audio is not embedded in the video, though both sound and picture play off the three D3 players (a master that drives two projectors, a slave that drives the other two, and a redundant player that can switch in to cover either master or slave in the event of a failure). The signal is DVI out to fiber for the 750ft. run from the control room to the projectors, and back to DVI in.
The D3 player does not just play the media, it holds the 3D mapping data files of the building which are used to exactly apply the imagery to the building. That mapping data can be shared with other content creators to allow them to design content specifically for the building. That could be for a show (the Venetian has done two so far) or potentially for an advertising client who wants to rent the system and the façade for brand marketing—digital signage writ large.
While the Venetian install had many elements in common with other architectural projection systems, there were a couple of unique features for the site. One of those elements is an iPad-like (it's a PC) wireless control system that allows operators to control the entire projection and audio system, as well as some of the lighting and legacy CobraNet-connected BGM/bell tower systems from anywhere in the plaza. (Luckily, the original CobraNet programmer was still onsite to help pull that part off).
Also unique is the way the system uses two Tri-signs at the top of the hotel. Working with the manufacturer at the artist's request, a method was designed to toggle the signs (which normally display an ad for the Venetian's Tao nightclub) to a neutral beige tone that matched the building as the shows start. This allowed the artist to treat the signs as a projection surface, a seamless extension of the building architecture.
While projection mapping is not new (and if you go back to the original days of son et lumière, it's quite old), it is still a niche with only a handful of world-class content creators. "And the industry is still on the learning curve on these systems," Turner adds. He means that not just technically but also in terms of how to best use the technology and the platform it provides, especially when it comes to a fixed installation. Brown-Cestero says that now AVDB has clients who are conceiving the system as an advertising platform and revenue stream; new Las Vegas zoning regulations expand the percentage of a building façade that can be used for advertising, which helps make that a feasible goal.
"It is very high impact," Turner says of technology and the current Venetian show Winter in Venice, which opened in December and has been described as "monumental." "It stops traffic. And the YouTube videos don't do it justice."
The Content Creator: Ross Ashton, The Projection Studio
Ross Ashton is probably most famous for his projection creations for Buckingham Palace, Windsor Palace, and the 2012 London Olympics. In the U.S., he has performed transformations on the New York Public Library and Dartmouth College, as well as two shows for the Venetian—Carnivale and the current Winter in Venice. His work—often combined with that of sound artist Karen Monid—has been seen throughout the world, at some of the one-of-a-kind events, historical commemorations, fashion shows, rock concerts, and festivals.
Born at a time when nearly every village in France entertained tourists with son et lumière (sound and light) spectaculars, Ashton trained in photography and theater, and spent 4 years with ETC, Paris. He's worked in both slide and video projection, and done mapped projects with both ("slides are still very bright and relatively inexpensive compared to video"). He began specializing in high power projection in 1992; 10 years later, his Buckingham Palace piece for the Queen's Golden Jubilee helped bring projection-mapped spectaculars into the British consciousness.
His storytelling is most often historical and his images often come from historical photographs. His software toolkit includes Photoshop, After Effects, and Cinema 4D. To map the building, he laser scans it into an exact 3D replica mode through the software in the D3 graphics engine/player.
"Most of my work is a celebration of the historical, of the building and its place in history. If I can possibly use a real photograph, I do. I invent as little as possible," he says. Video, he says, allows you do more things, some of them reenactments such as blowing in up a castle to invoke Oliver Cromwell and the English civil war.
"And yet everything we do is completely non-destructive," he says. "We can take a building and reimagine it for night into a different building and then put it back for the daytime. For the visitors, it's two different experiences and yet we have not altered it in any way."
For playback, Ashton says he doesn't like to be too precious about things. He knows and likes the Alcorn and Dataton products, most of the large-format projectors and the high-end speakers. Though his company can—and sometimes does—specify the system design, he likes to work with local integrators and suppliers to build systems that will be comfortable for the local end-user to operate and maintain. Next up: the Venetian's spring show.

OMG I love him! he is so sexy to bad that is blurred.. I take it this is from the surreal life? I remember the season finale when florence asked him if he was gay and he looked so guilty! He didn't say a word and it was written all over his face. I hear he is hosting QVC shows or something now
And this one.......
Attachment 896933
^ Chubby or not, I always like him.
Anybody has an uncencored pic of ICW ? That's interesting
Ugh, why do we always see Brian Kendrick's ass but never Paul London's? Paul London was way more hotter. And the lucky bastard spanked/touched Devitt.
brad maddox spanked
Live teabagging...kinda hot, kinda not.
brad maddox spanked pic
I did some research and eventually found out which match the Brian Kendrick pics are from. The pictures where his buns were exposed and he briefly was running around in his thong are from a match from New Japan Pro Wrestling. The match happened on October 30th, 2012. The participants in this match were Devitt & Taguchi vs Kendrick & Jado. It is available to watch on YouTube. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing Brian Kendrick's buns exposed and I like his cocky heel persona.
Damn! Maddox's ass is begging for it! Just wished he wore skimpier trunks, though I doubt they could contain him
Hey guys, does anyone remember Orlando Jordan??
Well, he's here in Melbourne Australia for some wrestling show and I'm sure none of you will believe this but...
I saw him at a gay club and we hooked up. It wasn't a full on pash but it was decent enough. I even got a pic with him haha.
He's body is still in good shape and I know he's not the best looking wrestler but I wasn't going to pass up a chance to make out with him.
Anyway yeah, I know you won't believe me but I thought I'd say it anyway because it was so random but good . Oh and I even have his number!! But yeah believe it or not but it definitely happened
i cant believe TNA sent crimson to work for ovw. that is there training development omfg what bunch of pricks wankers
Hey guys! For all of us who luv Dolph Ziggler's juicy, bubbled ass, it sounds like he is debuting new ring gear @ Survivor Series. He wrote "thinking Britney Spears bodysuit from Toxic vid meets al czervic". This could be really good or really bad!
Or multicolored trunks with a fleshtoned glitter jacket. If done right, he might be onto something. Luckily I'm watching SS for free!
As long as he's still in skimpy trunks! Flesh-colored might be hot!
Damn, forgot how hot Brit used to be.
When did Goldust get fired and why?
Attachment 897497
I thought he was helping train new wrestlers behind the scenes. Just saw that he is going to be on PCW next year. WOW, they picked up Eugene, Masters, Morrison and now Goldust. That small promotion is getting some good WWE leftovers. And all four of them were underrated and probably not used correctly by the WWE. Good luck to all of them. I still can't believe they let Masters go, ummmm, that body....
Attachment 897493
maybe we will get to see more of Eugene snacking on Master's ass in PCW
Attachment 897494Attachment 897495
It is Davey Blaze from an ICW match. It is real. The third pic is Joey Hayes.... and what an ass he has.
anyone know if there are real wrestlers that are on this forum. Just curious to know
Rene Dupree looks like shit.
There are two kinds of people in this world. My kind of people, and assholes.
She still pretty hot for a mom of two.
what am i good at? haha!
Oh, wow...people should be asking if THAT pic was real, lol, but seriously, WTF happened to rene? drugs? or coming off roids?

Wow, Kofi just got rolled up and his trunks pulled, but as usual, the camera was on the wrong side. I hope another angle comes up.
Wow Rene, I use to have the major hots for this dude(especially when he had that boner during his segment with Torrie Wilson)until he got those ugly tattoos. He's lost a lot of muscle mass though.

The law follows the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010, which requires the USDA to establish nutrition standards for all foods sold in schools. The new plan comes on the heels of revised standards for school meals implemented in the fall, which greatly increased mandated servings of fruits and vegetables in meals.
The Smart Snacks proposal draws on recommendations from the Institute of Medicine and existing voluntary standards already implemented by thousands of schools around the country, according to a USDA news release.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a recent report evaluating state policies for food and beverages served outside the cafeteria. Thirty-nine states already have a state law regulating foods sold at schools. The USDA said its proposal would provide a minimum that all states must meet, though some states may have more stringent requirements.
Applauding the USDA's proposal, Jessica Donze Black, director of the Kids' Safe and Healthful Foods Project, sponsored by Pew Charitable Trusts and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, said in a news release that the regulation is the first update in the rules in more than 30 years.

Mayor Jeffery Kilpatrick was pleased to announce half of the sidewalk on the downtown strip of Main Street was successfully redone.
"The work looks really good and we've been getting a lot of remarks about it," said Kilpatrick. "We're looking forward to getting the other half done."
The city is also gearing up for a couple community events this month.
Drew Cleanup Day will be hosted October 6 in effort to spruce up city streets. Beginning at 8 a.m., citizens will meet on Main Street to being the beautification project.
"We're really hoping for a good turnout at the cleanup," said Kilpatrick. "Tell your friends — bring someone with you. We want to see a lot of people out there."
The following Saturday, Oct. 13, will feature the third annual Drew Walk-a-Thon.
Kilpatrick said attendance has improved every year and at least 200 walkers are expected for this year's event.
"This is about fighting obesity and helping people get in better shape," he said. "We're excited that more people have joined the effort every year."
Event organizer Sunya Williams said the affair is part of the Mississippi State Extension initiative known as "Get Healthy, Trim Down Delta."
"It's about boosting energy, burning calories and spending quality time with family and friends," said Williams. "We're also hoping to offer prizes and put together goody bags."
To purchase a walk-a-thon T-shirt for $10, contact Williams at 662-745-0350.
Registration will begin at the gazebo on Main Street at 9 a.m., followed by the walk at 10 a.m.
The end of the month will also be host to the eighth annual Delta Wings Festival, celebrating the duck hunting heritage of Drew; considered by some to be the waterfowl capital of Mississippi.
Festivalgoers will have the opportunity to bring the family out and enjoy the fall weather, taste southern cooked duck dishes, learn duck hunting techniques and see the season's new gear.
This year's duck festival will be held downtown from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. on Oct. 27.
While most news reported at Tuesday's meeting was positive, the board continued to deal with an ongoing problem — the eyesores created by the many dilapidated houses and properties that plague the city.
City Attorney Daniel E. Morris explained to the board a resolution is near.
"We need to send a third and final letter of notice to the property owners, and it needs to be certified," said Morris.
The letter will inform the property owners of a scheduled hearing before the board, where both parties will finalize a plan of action.
"If they don't respond to the letters and clean up their properties, then the city can fine them," said Morris.
Kilpatrick said a date would be determined once the certified letters are prepared for mailing, which he anticipates will be Monday.
In other news, the board will hold a public hearing to discuss the 2012-13 city budget on Oct. 25 at 5:30 p.m.
The next city board meeting will be Nov. 6 at Drew City Hall at 5:30 p.m.

By now, you may have started getting excited about planning your visit to Napa Valley. I hope my first postenlightened you on the region, the different areas to stay and how you might get there. I will continue here guiding your trip, making it easier and more accessible. If you have chosen to avoid renting a car, there's a quick and super easy shuttle service from either airport than picks up every other hour, Evan's shuttle. Schedules from SFO or OAK are listed and reservations are unecessary. Board outside the baggage terminal and pay as you arrive in Napa. For an extra fee, they also drop you at a hotel if you request, once on board.
I'd like to spend some time introducing you to the town of Yountville with all its charm. Most foodies or wine fans are familiar with the town since Thomas Keller's world famous French Laundry is located here. He also has Bouchon Bistro, a charming casual French eatery and a must-stop for the steamed mussels, best enjoyed with a local Chardonnay. Ad-Hoc is more a "family-style" place, which offers an ever-changing menu and reasonably priced wine list. Most all restaurants in the Valley allow you to bring in a bottle you purchased while tasting but there will be a corkage fee. Keller hasn't missed a beat and allows you to wake up to his culinary masterpieces at Bouchon Bakery. For total chocoholics, grab a bag of the bakery's brownie bites to pair with your Cabernet. If you're thinking even for a second that the multiple locations diminish the focus and quality of these menus, I can say confidently that this isn't true. And don't feel that if you've tried one, you can skip the others. You can't.
Other fantastic spots to dine at in Yountville: the classic Bistro Jeanty, the more upscale Redd, Star chef Michael Chiarello's Bottega (a hot spot, even at the bar). For a complete list, although I've mentioned a good half of them, just take a look here. If you stay at Villagio Inn and Spaor Hotel Yountville, you'll be in walking distance to any of these and others, in addition to quick driving or cycling distance to many wineries. There's also a very nice selection of small inns and B&B's to choose from. And if you're trying to save so you can splurge on dining, you can have some luck also on the home rental sites like VRBO or Home Away, but they frequently (although not always) require a minimum of one week or one month rental. Make your reservations early, too. And I mean six-eight weeks early for many since spring and summer is high season.
Now let's begin looking at wine tasting in Napa Valley. But first, a little overview of the Valley so you can get your bearings. This lesson will continue on throughout this series of blog posts. Here's a start:
Is the Napa Valley one large region?
Napa Valley is an American Viticultural Area (AVA) itself, and the first designated one in California (in 1981), but it's also made up of 15 sub-appelations, as you can see on this map. Different grapes are grown in different regions with distinct micro-climates that give recognizale characteristics to the wine due to the soil, climate and terrain (known collectively as "terrior" in the wine world).
If you plan to stay in Yountville, the AVA to explore first is Yountville AVA itself. There's lots of history here, and some wineries that are harder to visit or don't have their own tasting rooms set up shop right in town. These include Blackbird Vineyars (at Maisonry), Cornerstone Cellars, Hope and Grace Winery, Jessup Cellars and more. Wineries to visit that are a skip out of town include sparkling wine producer Domaine Chandon, where you can also have the most lovely meal since they were grandfathered in before dining rooms in wineries were prohibited along with another beautiful property: Cliff Lede, with it's super elegant Poetry Inn. Finally, a bit up north on 29 is Cosentino Winery, with a wide range of diverse varietal wines.
So, one AVA down and 14 more to go. Stay tuned for more visitor information on the towns and the wineries in Napa Valley. We will continue working our way through each appelation for a comprehensive list of tasting rooms, wineries, tucked away gems and my secret private appointment spots. Please share with friends and comment.

Sheer Stripe Raglan Sleeve Top
This top is so sexy and classic
The top is gorgeous so sexy but still very classic. I love how it fits to me and I look so thin which is great.
June 3, 2013
Not very becoming
The shirt is too sheer and the top of the shirt goes up to high instead of being round.
March 8, 2013
Nice top, just smelled funny...
I ordered this top online in a black M/L and received it very quickly. I tried it on and immediately liked it; I love how the material hugs my curves and the stripes are very trend-right. You will definitely have to wear a cami or some sort of bandeau top underneath, unless you are not too modest. However I could not help but notice the rubbery-like smell, maybe from the nylon/spandex fabric. I just washed gently and that helped greatly. I can't wait to wear this with a pair of baby pink skinny jeans I bought just to wear with this top and glossy pumps!

love it, better than on picture
nice top, goes with any pants or skirt, would recommend to a friend,

-1 in a series of 4 CDs (Recorded in Rosemary's own voice)
None of us are perfect, we all know that, but in a world that strives for perfection, and with the age of plastic surgery, beauty products that make you look better, younger, and so on, it is important to remember that true beauty comes from our imperfections, not despite them. The stress that comes in our every day lives, that comes from trying to live up to the expectations we have of ourselves and from others can be enormous, and we know that stress can be the biggest enemy to our health, and to our wellbeing.
This meditation helps us not only to relax in a way that will relieve the stresses and strains in our lives, it also teaches us how important it is for us to love ourselves, body and soul. It reminds us that although we are not perfect….but yet we are still beautiful, not only in Gods eyes, but also in our own.
Check out Rosemary's other CDs:
A Garden of Souls
A Journey Towards Healing
The Heartbeat of the Soul

It could be like a movie. I'm almost certain it's possible for me to make an hour long video and upload it.
I like this idea as well.
If you want you can take on a collaboration centered video while I tackle GC4. Sound good? :D
Brian3.14 wrote:and IGLima, didn't you had 720p on your FC video from your designs?
Sorta. I rendered the video in 720p so I could get the audio in better quality, but that's about it. The actually recording of the game wasn't in HD.
rlbabits wrote:yea i kinda am discriminating but i think unconnected are really different...still really impressive solves but i think there should be a video just for them...or maybe and unconnected section of the video.
I didn't see waffle do a filming example..but yours looked okay but a little blurry...can that be fixed up pretty easy? flattered me when you used my contraption as a test btw
also still need to choose music?
How about analog marinade by vibrasphere? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQn2C_byeOk slow to build but has a good sound for ipecac contraptions at 4 minutes until 5 minutes 30 seconds if you could cut out that part haha
or did you already have somthing in mind?
Yeah I think I'll leave the unconnected dudes out of GC4 and maybe make some video later on for them As for the blurring, it's mainly to reduce pixelation, but I can mess with my render settings to make it a bit crisper. And for the music, the one you posted could work quite well. Once I get everything recorded I'll experiment in the editor to see what fits best.
