Some may say that Sweetness Bakeshop & Cafe revolutionized the cupcake business by offering mini cupcakes for $1.05 and being one of the first businesses to take their sweets on the road. Whatever it is they are doing, it is working as Sweetness Bakeshop & Cafe now has two locations in Miami and their eyes on a third. Before meeting the bakers behind cupcakes such as Maple Bacon and White Chocolate Wasabi in next week's Cupcake Camp Miami event, Stephanie of Sweetness Bakeshop & Cafe answered a few questions about the shop.
How did you come up with the name Sweetness Bakeshop & Cafe?
A group of family and friends went to a then-Florida Marlin's baseball game. We were sitting behind home plate, not paying very much attention to the game, and we were shooting names back and fourth and came up with the name Sweetness, as it described us perfectly.
What is your favorite thing that you offer?
Probably our dessert shots - they're small, non-sharable portions of pure decadence!
What is your best selling item?Our Guayabera & Maple Bacon Cupcakes.
What are your baking hopes for the upcoming year?
Hopefully a Sweetness #3.
What has been your biggest kitchen disaster?Forgetting I had the mixer on max speed and having powdered sugar go everywhere.
Describe your cupcakes in three words.
Bite Size, Delicious, Original.
What advice do you have for others who are considering baking as a career?It has to be something you enjoy so much, you're willing to do it for free for the rest of your life.
Do you do custom orders?
What is the price range for your sweets?Our mini cupcakes range between $1.05-$1.30 - the desserts in our store range from $1.00-$6.00
What is the best way to place an order?
By visiting one of our stores and placing the order in person, or by calling it in
Where should people go to find out more?Our website and Facebook page. Facebook.com/SweetnessBakeshop &
Sweetness Bake Shop & Cafe will be at Cupcake Camp Miami 2014. Tickets for the event are $10.00 ($11.54 with Eventbrite fees) and can be purchased here. For more information on the event, visit Cupcake Camp Miami 2014's Facebook page.
This article is part of a series highlighting the bakers who will be donating cupcakes and present at this year's Cupcake Camp Miami event. The event benefits Give Kids The World Village.

The Environmental Informatics community could recently celebrate its 20th anniversary. The application of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to problems of environmental research and management has made considerable progress and contributes to sustainable development. Moreover, ICT has the potential to virtualize processes that would otherwise consume considerable amounts of material and energy; virtual meetings, for instance, could avoid 97-98% of the CO2 emissions of physical meetings.The time, space, material and energy needed to provide a unit of ICT service have roughly decreased by a factor of 1000 since the first PC was sold. It seems therefore natural that researchers and industries using ICT in the environmental field ignore the environmental impacts caused by ICT hardware – they are just negligible compared to the environmental benefits that can be realized with the applications.Paradoxically, it is the progress in ICT hardware efficiency that has made ICT a part of the problem, too. The global mass and energy flows caused throughout the hardware life cycle are increasing due to the wide-spread use of ICT products and their decreasing useful lives. The environ-mental problems caused by the production, use and disposal of ICT hard-ware are solvable in principle; they are not as hard as the discrepancy between - e.g. - growing mobility and CO2 reduction goals. But problems can only be solved if they are not neglected.

WATCH: Grandma Wants Justin Bieber to Apologize For Phone Prank
This is Dilcie Fleming.
She's had a rough few weeks, ever since March 7, when Justin Bieber sent out a tweet to his millions of followers, asking them to call him at a Dallas-area number with the last digit removed.
Fleming's home phone matched one of the possible "complete" numbers, and she was immediately flooded with calls from hopeful Beliebers.
"I didn't know what was going on. I answered the phone only because I thought maybe it was a family member," Fleming told MSNBC on Thursday. "I hung up and my phone rang again, and it went on and on!"
While she isn't really familiar with Bieber's work, she's seen him in her daughter's magazines.
Fleming says, "I'm sure he's a very nice young man, but this must be a joke that just didn't turn out like they thought it would."
While she has no plans to sue Bieber, she would like him to say he's sorry.
"All I would to have is an apology from him, and possibly concert tickets for two great-granddaughters," says Fleming.

Bremer, L; Heitmann, M; Stahl, F; Ansari, A (2010). About the Relationship of Personal Networks and Individual Success. In: 39th EMAC Conference, Copenhagen, 1 June 2010 - 4 June 2010.
The growth of online social networks has interested many marketing researchers. However, little research has compared multiple social networks and investigated the link between measures of network structure to commercial success. We make use of network information of online multimedia network platforms and analyze the network strategies of music artists for promoting music. Our analysis is based on 240 personal networks and relates well-established network measures to online success. Our results indicate that success is determined by the social network structure and networking activities rather than by outside popularity. The findings have implications for building successful networks for marketing purposes.

MILFS like Sara Jay have been around the block a couple of times, which is why we love it so much to watch this chick at action! We first discovered Sara back in 2002 when we where in South Florida scouting for new babes and the second we saw her we knew that she was the perfect choice for the porn industry. This chick really knows how to pleasure her man, as you can see in the video of Cum Fiesta that she has done...it is out of this world!
Date: Monday, May 13, 2002

I saw a film around 2011 and I forgot the name of the movie. It was about these two families that wanted to buy a secluded house. When they got there, they tried to go back home but the road home was gone. So they stayed there and food appeared everyday. Until people started getting killed and others appeared to have committed suicide. Then in the end one girl is alive and gets her her tongue cut off.
I believe this is the plot of House Hunting (AKA The Wrong House) with Marc Singer from 2012, where two families move into an abandoned house and discover that they can't leave (though the house keeps providing them with just enough food). They also meet a mysterious and distraught girl whose tongue was cut out. Here is the trailer.

Proposed changes to Utah liquor laws drawing many voices
Jeffrey D. Allred, Deseret News
SALT LAKE CITY — Poised to make changes to Utah's liquor laws, state lawmakers have more than the usual voices to steer their decisions.
Democrats have brought business people into the discussion who they say often go unheard in the Republican-controlled Legislature. Meantime, advocates for public health and safety have started to speak up, creating a website called stopalcoholderegulation.org.
"They haven't come to the public health side of this. That's the concerning thing," said Pat Bird, prevention manager for the Utah County Department of Drug and Alcohol Prevention and Treatment. "We've got to have everybody at the table."
Talk of changing how to manage Utah's state-controlled alcohol industry came on the heels of scathing legislative audits last year. The Utah Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control was found to be rife with mismanagement and the former executive director is accused of a felony for doing business with a company his son owns. The head of the state Department of Commerce is temporarily running the agency.
Several lawmakers will propose bills to deal with issues raised in the audits, and legislative leaders expect the measures to emerge in a week or so.
Sen. John Valentine, R-Orem, who often carries alcohol-related legislation, is working on a plan to restructure the agency, including how it's governed and to whom it reports. Rep. Ryan Wilcox, R-Provo, is looking at contracting out state-run stores, an idea some have loosely described as privatization.
Bird finds any form privatization or deregulation a bad idea.
"The private sector does not manage this well. This is a product that causes harm. It's not like milk or eggs," he said. "The private sector is sales-driven."
Senate President Michael Waddoups, R-Taylorsville, on Friday said three principles shape his thinking about alcohol policy: Whether a change could result in more drunken driving; whether minors would be exposed to alcohol consumption; and whether it would contribute to overconsumption.
When reminded that Utah has the lowest drunken driving rates in the nation, Waddoups said, "It's great if you don't happen to be the one in the accident. If you're the only one in the state, it's a tragedy. It's a tragedy to you."
Policy changes to accommodate adults' responsible use of a legal product are open to debate, he said.
Senate Minority Leader Ross Romero, D-Salt Lake, said he shares many of Waddoups' concerns. However, people in the hospitality business had expressed that "they weren't brought into the conversation" over policy changes enacted a year ago, he said.
To bring them in, Romero and House Minority Leader David Litvack, D-Salt Lake, created what they called the DABC Review Committee comprised of people whose businesses interact with the state's alcohol industry.
"I guarantee you there is not another area in our government that we regulate and don't seek input from those who are being regulated," Litvack said.
After several public meetings, the committee — co-chaired by retired Army Gen. Peter Cooke, former Salt Lake County auditor Jeff Hatch and Standard Optical CEO Steve Schubach — compiled a report it presented Friday. Two messages emerged from the report: alcohol is overregulated and the system needs to be managed with more competence.
Though the report cites many "outdated and counterproductive" rules that bring "unwelcome national attention" to the state, such as a prohibiting some classic cocktails or servers having to pour liquor out of customers' sight.
The report also outlines a structural reform plan and calls for more accountability and transparency.
The committee neither favors privatization nor abandoning Utah's "control" model, but supports a move toward becoming a "license" state.

Secrets of Success
A New Game Plan
Monday, May 16, 2011
I'm ready for a change. My sparklife has been going very well since February. I've been tracking every single day since then, except when I go out of town. I've also been loyally tracking all of my fitness minutes, spinning my wheel, doing quizzes and trivia, and posting on blogs and message boards.
I only have about 15-20 more pounds to loose, and I'm ok with my weight loss slowing down. When I restarted my spark in Feb, I was at close to 200lbs. Now I'm at 175, and I feel like I could stay at this weight forever, as long as my tummy flattens out :) I'm between a size 10 and 12, and I would be perfectly happy to remain there.
So, I've decided to stop tracking what I eat this week and see how it goes. I know every bit of nutrition information for everything I eat anyway, so I should be able to track in my head as I go along. I want to focus on listening to my body more, instead of what my tracker tells me to do. I've always known that I don't want to track forever, and I think now would be a good time to let it go for a bit.
Here are things I WON"T be doing:
1. Using my not tracking as an excuse to go crazy with food. I'm not changing my eating habits one bit.
2. Relaxing my exercise schedule. I want to wear a bikini this summer.....and my stomach still needs some convincing.
3. Gaining weight. If this experiment goes south, I will start tracking again. I don't want to track forever, but I will if that's what it takes.
I will update you all on my progress next week!

Good luck with it! Those last 10-20 pounds are a pain. I agree that at that point, it becomes more about how you feel and what your body says than the number on the scale.

I really liked this post. I've only been truely tracking for breakfast and lunch and then counting in my head for dinners because by the time I've reached that point in the day...I'm sone feeling like I'm obsessing over entering in my calorie count. I am having a hard time finding a balance between paying attention and being deligent AND being overly obsessed with the site. I'm not going to loose weight by looking at what I've eaten the last few days or reading posts about weightloss. I'm going to loose weight by actually exercising and actually eating the right foods in the right quantity. I feel defeated today because I feel like this is consuming me...and the consumption, again, DOES Nothing!

I have been thinking along similar lines - I want to let up on tracking and make my eating/exercise more of a natural, intuitive occurrence in my day (as it should be)... and if I start to slide, bring the tracking back in to get me headed in the right direction

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Island Thunder (Xbox) review
"The end result was that I was skirting this level or that for quite some time, trying to find the path the arrow thought was there, and I never really did. This is a problem that was present in the first game, too, but this time around it seems actually to have grown worse instead of improving as one might expect. Again, I blame this on the more intricate levels."

Score "me" time on the move. As an Emmy-winning actress and a single mom, finding time to exercise or sneak in alone time isn't always easy. Her solution? Combine the two: "I'll have the nanny watch the kids, and I'll do an exercise of some kind and listen to music," Falco says. "It's very quiet time, very private time."
Gym more to grin more. To Falco, exercise is far more than staying trim and toned. "It always clears my head," says Falco, who was running up to 5 miles a day until knee pain caused her to cut back. "You feel better all day because of the endorphins running through your system. I do it more for my brain than anything else."
Plan post-lunch lounges. Early wake-up calls with her kids and endless to-do lists often keep Falco from scoring 8 hours of shut-eye at night. How she pays back the debt: Midday snooze fests. "I love to nap in the afternoon," Falco says. "I'll grab my dog, and we'll go up in my bedroom and sleep for a few hours. It's not consistent, but it seems like the greatest luxury in the world."
Snack smartly. Forget chocolate, cookies, or cake. Falco's must-have treat is popcorn. "There's something about watching TV and eating popcorn that's so deeply satisfying," Falco says. "It's got all the perfect flavors."
Boycott boredom. Besides running, Falco stays active with Pilates, yoga, and the elliptical machine. "I'm always switching it up to stay interested," Falco says. Bonus: Varying your routine will help you avoid plateaus and help prevent overuse injuries, too.

On February 24, 2010, the U.S. Supreme Court came to a decision that will have long-lasting implications on police policy with respect to Miranda warnings. The case, Maryland v. Shatzer, examined whether a police investigation in Maryland was performed illegally when police re-interrogated a man suspected of sexual assault after two years had passed since the first interrogation.
At issue was the question: if a break in one's custodial state occurs after the individual has invoked his right to counsel, when (if at all) may police resume interrogating the suspect and not violate his or her right to counsel? In a unanimous decision, the Supreme Court ruled that the police did not violate the suspect's right to an attorney and that 14 days is a sufficient amount of time to pass for one's invocation of Miranda to end and for re-interrogation to take place.
What Shatzer has done is to establish a bright-line rule in terms of when an individual's right to invoke ends. Once a suspect invokes his or her right to counsel, the interrogation must cease immediately—that rule has not changed. What has changed, however, is that the officer may revisit the suspect and resume the interrogation after a two-week lapse, regardless of whether the suspect is in custody, as long as he or she is returned to the general prison population for a conviction unrelated to the subject of the interrogation. Read more here.
The First District Court of Appeal ruled that the City of Richmond did not violate CEQA when it entered into a municipal services agreement (MSA) for a tribal casino proposed on unincorporated lands adjacent to the City. In Parchester Village Neighborhood Council v. City of Richmond, the court reversed a trial court decision and agreed with the City that the MSA was not a project under CEQA.
Consistent with Save Tara, this case analyzed the various factors surrounding the MSA to determine if it constituted a project approval requiring CEQA review. Local agencies should continue to examine development-related agreements in a larger context to ensure that CEQA review occurs at an appropriate stage of the overall development process and before the agency has committed to activities that could have a physical effect on the environment.

The California Supreme Court announced this week that it will decide an important question about enforcing legislative subpoenas issued by cities to aid investigations: If a trial court orders a party to comply with such a subpoena, is the party automatically entitled to have an appellate court review that order before the party must comply?
The Court will decide that question in the context of a dispute over subpoenas that the City of Dana Point issued to require five medical marijuana dispensaries to produce records the City could use to determine if they are operating legally. After a trial court ordered the dispensaries to comply with the subpoenas, each filed a notice appealing the order to the Fourth District Court of Appeal, based in Orange County. In 2007, the Sixth District Court of Appeal in San Jose held that a party in such circumstances has the right to appeal the order enforcing the subpoena. (City of Santa Cruz v. Patel (2007) 155 Cal.App.4th 234; read the relevant part here.) Such an appeal automatically stays the order until the court of appeal decides the case, which usually takes at least a year. In the Dana Point cases, the court of appeal issued an order stating that the parties did not have the right to appeal, but must instead seek review by petitioning the court of appeal to issue an extraordinary writ. This is an important difference: courts of appeal can and usually do deny writ petitions summarily and within weeks, without full briefing, oral argument, or a written opinion. Moreover, filing such a petition does not automatically stay the order, though the party resisting compliance can ask the courts for such a stay.
The California Supreme Court has now agreed to resolve the dispute over how a party resisting a legislative subpoena can secure appellate review. While the issue in these cases is limited to subpoenas issued by a city under Government Code section 37104, the Court's ruling may also resolve a parallel, unsettled dispute over appellate review of administrative subpoenas issued by State agencies and departments.
The five cases are:
California has been forging ahead with many types of climate change regulations that address Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions from land uses, vehicle use, construction and stationary sources. For example, the State has regulated GHGs through California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in accordance with SB 97, and regulated the interaction between vehicle use and land use development in accordance with SB 375. Most of these State regulations originate from AB 32, which requires the State to reduce GHG emissions to 1990 levels by no later than 2002. AB 32 also required the creation of a GHG registry for stationary sources (industry). Recently, the Bay Area Air Quality Management District issued mandatory GHG requirements in an air pollution permit for a local power plant.
In contrast to the State, federal regulation of GHGs emissions from stationary sources through the Clean Air Act (CAA) has stalled. You may recall that over two years ago the Supreme Court ruled that carbon dioxide is a pollutant subject to Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulation under the Clean Air Act. Environmental advocates have been criticizing the EPA for delaying GHG regulations of stationary sources at the federal level, according to the New York Times. Now, federal legislators are also attempting to delay EPA regulations for a set amount of time. Both Senator Jay Rockefeller (D, W. Va.) and Representative Nick Randall (D, Wa.) have introduced legislation in the Senate and the House, respectively, that would delay the EPA from regulating GHGs emitted from stationary sources (such as coal-fired power plants) for two years. But not all legislators are in support of such bills. The Washington Post recently reported that Robert C. Byrd, a democrat of West Virginia and colleague of Jay Rockefeller, will not support Rockefeller's proposed bill. Byrd believes that EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson's recent letter stating that the EPA will delay, for a year, the application of stronger standards requiring increased efficiency or reduced pollution at large power plants and factories is enough. The proposed Senate and House bills are likely an attempt to delay EPA regulations that would require major GHG stationary sources to implement "best available control technology" pollution control measures, even if these measures would render construction of new plants cost-prohibitive.
Despite California's progress in regulating GHGs, it also faces a potential suspension of GHG regulation through an initiative measure to suspend AB 32, as we discussed in this post. Proponents of the legislation stalling GHG regulation at the Federal level and the initiative stalling it at the state level both cite to economic concerns as the purpose of these delays.
In Communities for a Better Environment v. South Coast Air Quality Management District, the California Supreme Court held that the California Environmental Quality Act (Pub. Resources Code, §§ 21000, et seq. ("CEQA") requires an agency analyzing the "worst case" emission impacts of a new refinery project to analyze emission impacts of a new refinery project against the existing facility's actual current emissions, and not with the facility's maximum permitted emission levels. The Court reasoned that the refinery project differed from proposals in past cases that simply modified a previously analyzed project or continued operation without significant expansion. The Court's decision is an important clarification of CEQA baseline principles. Projects that involve more than a mere modification of a previously analyzed project, or involve significant expansion of existing operations, need to be analyzed against actual physical conditions, not maximum permitted conditions.
Defendant South Coast Air Quality Management District ("District") had prepared a negative declaration analyzing the impacts of ConocoPhillips's proposal for an ultra-low-sulfur diesel fuel project, and concluded that the project would not adversely affect the environment. The District acknowledged that, in a "worst-case scenario," the project would create hundreds of pounds of additional nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions per day (in excess of the District's 55 pounds per day standard). However the District did not consider the emissions to be part of the project because the emissions did not exceed the maximum levels allowed under existing permits. The Court found this to be an improper application of the general rule that the "physical environmental conditions," as they exist at the time environmental analysis begins, "will normally constitute the baseline physical conditions by which a lead agency determines whether an impact is significant." (CEQA Guidelines, § 15125(a).) Accordingly, the Court concluded that it was inconsistent with established CEQA principles to compare the proposed project to what could lawfully happen under the existing permits, rather than to what was actually happening.
The Supreme Court distinguished the matter from a line of cases that relied on maximum operational levels allowed under existing permits. In each case, the Court noted, the subject project was "merely a modification of a previously analyzed project and hence requiring only limited CEQA review ... or as merely the continued operation of an existing facility without significant expansion of use and hence exempt from CEQA review." The same could not be said for the ultra-low-sulfur diesel fuel project, as it was adding a new refinery to the facility and would require increase operation of other equipment. Finally, the Court concluded that the record—specifically the data in the negative declaration—supported a fair argument that the project will have a significant adverse effect on the environment. The Court thus affirmed the Court of Appeal's direction to prepare an EIR.
In a first of its kind ruling, an Alameda County judge has ruled that the City of Pleasanton's voter-approved cap on the number of residences in the city (a measure intended to limit growth and congestion in the Tri-Valley town), violates a state law requiring all cities to take on their share of regional housing needs. The ruling, which the City may appeal, orders the city to change its zoning to accommodate new housing, about 4,000 new units by 2014, three-quarters of which must be affordable for low-to-moderate-income residents. The ballot measure, passed in 1996 and reaffirmed by voters in 2008, allows no more than 29,000 units in the city, the city currently has more than 27,000.
The Urban Habitat Program and a schoolteacher seeking affordable housing filed the suit in 2006. It was joined by Attorney General Jerry Brown last year, who said Pleasanton's housing limits added to urban sprawl, and led to increased vehicle use, air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. The city argued that the housing limit is a valid exercise of municipal land-use authority. The court noted that the Association of Bay Area Governments ("ABAG"), the organization that decides each city's housing allotment, assigned specific housing unit figures to Pleasanton which it had failed to meet in 2007 and would fail to meet in 2014 if its housing limits remained in effect.
Today the Greenhouse Gas Amendments to the CEQA Guidelines, which were mandated by Senate Bill 97 and codified in Public Resources Code section 21083.05, are effective. The Natural Resources Agency adopted Amendments to the CEQA Guidelines for greenhouse gas emissions back in December of 2009. These Amendments require the quantification and mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions. For more information click here.
On March 24, 2010, a voter-sponsored initiative, the "Control, Regulate and Tax Cannabis Act of 2010," qualified for the November ballot. The ballot measure permits persons 21 years of age or older to posses, cultivate and transport not more than one ounce of marijuana for personal use. Additionally, the ballot measure authorizes local governments to regulate and tax commercial production and sale of marijuana. For a more detailed discussion of the ballot measure's provisions, click here.
If passed by a majority vote, the new statute would take effect the day following the election, or November 3, 2010. Local governments may want to consider adopting regulations related to the cultivation of marijuana, and if desired, regulations licensing establishments selling marijuana. Passage of this ballot measure is also likely to impact local government regulations related to medical marijuana collectives or cooperatives, as these facilities may seek to expand their operations to also serve non-medical marijuana users over the age of 21.
The Ninth Circuit has held that the donning and doffing of uniforms and accompanying safety gear by police officers is not compensable work under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) if officers may don and doff at home. Thus, any police or sheriff's department that permits its officers or sheriffs to don and doff their uniforms and gear at home is not legally required to pay for that time.

General contractors on a public works projects often assert close-out claims against the public entity at the end of projects. When this occurs, a major issue often is the method in which the general contractor can prove its damages on a claim. On March 18, 2010 the California Court of Appeal, Second Appellate District, confirmed that in California, general contractors are permitted to use the modified total cost method to prove damages on close-out claims. Under the total cost method, damages are determined by subtracting the contract amount from the total cost of the contractor's performance. Under the modified total cost method, if the contractor is responsible for some of its increased cost of performance, then those costs are subtracted from the contractor's damages to arrive at the modified total cost. In other words, the contractor cannot be foreclosed from proving the amount of damages caused by the public entity, just because the contractor itself is responsible for some of its extra costs. The Court's opinion in the case, Dillingham-Ray Wilson v. City of Los Angeles, B192900, is available here.
In Melom v. City of Madera, the Fifth Appellate District revisited the issue of evaluation of the environmental impacts of "Supercenters" under CEQA addressed previously in Bakersfield Citizens for Local Control v. City of Bakersfield (2004) 124 Cal.App.4th 1184 (Bakersfield Citizens) and held that there is nothing about the inherent nature of a supercenter that would require a lead agency to evaluate urban decay impacts. Rather, each project should be evaluated based on the substantial evidence in the record before the lead agency. Click to read more.
In International Society for Krishna v. City of Los Angeles the California Supreme Court ruled that the solicitation regulations at the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) are valid as reasonable time, place and manner restrictions under state law. (2010 WL 1071387 (Cal.)) While this ruling will provide additional authority to support solicitation regulations, municipalities should be aware of the relatively narrow contours of the ruling. Read more here.
On March 12, 2010, the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals granted the City of Goleta's request for an en banc hearing in the case of Guggenheim v. City of Goleta 582 F.3d 996 (9th Cir. 2009). The wrangling surrounding this case has been closely watched by both sides of the debate on the regulatory takings front since the Court issued its split decision in September 2009. In this 2-1 decision by Judge Bybee, the Court found that Goleta's mobile home rent control ordinance caused a facial regulatory taking for which compensation must be paid (under Penn Central Transportation Co. v. New York City 438 U.S. 104 (1978)). The mobile home park owners brought suit after the City imposed the already existing county rent control ordinance when it incorporated in 2002. The opinion was immediately controversial – assailed by many, including low-income housing advocates, as a vast departure from existing jurisprudence and hailed and applauded by property owners advocates. Goleta promised to seek a full panel hearing the from the Court, and that requested was granted. Oral arguments are tentatively scheduled for June 21, 2010.

Merlove updates, Sequoia Grove's Michael Trujillo profiled
It's shaping up to be another gorgeous, sunny January day here in the Napa Valley and as usual, there's no shortage of news. Here are a couple items that have caught our eye in the past 24hrs or so.
Updates on Rudy McClain's documentary 'Merlove'
Local director/producer Rudy McClain, who we interviewed last summer, continues to promote his documentary on Merlot. The film, which includes multiple interviews with local winemakers and winery owners, was submitted for the recent Sundance Film Festival but was not selected. McClain, in an email to followers last night said he and his crew are "…still holding our heads high and continuing forward" and then noted "We know the right time for us to shine will soon show."
Merlove has been submitted to SXSW, the Austin, TX music and film festival and there are several screenings scheduled (the next on 2/7 in Sonoma, CA and one on 3/5 at Crushpad in San Francisco) for the coming weeks. More details and a new trailer are now online–check it out.
Sequoia Grove winemaker Michael Trujillo discusses the winery's progress
One of our favorite stops along Highway 29 is Sequoia Grove, so it was nice to read a short piece on winemaker Michael Trujillo last night.
The article, which ran on the Orlando Press-Register website, details Trujillo's rise from 'cellar rat' to winemaker and how he's helped re-invent Sequoia Grove in the process. Here's a short excerpt:
Working under an amazing triad of teachers — Allen, Tchelistcheff and the respected wine consultant Tony Soter — he gradually caught the wine bug. When Allen retired in 2002 and sold the winery to Kobrand, Trujillo became president and director of winemaking.
He likes to say that when he took over, the winery wasn't broken, but he set out to fix it anyway.
"Wine styles had changed; the competition was tougher."

Brain-Shrinking and Veggie Diets
That's how I ensure I get Vitamin B12. That nutritional yeast—in my pantry right now—is 133% Vitamin B12 per serving; serving size is 1 1/2 tablespoons and I eat that much AT LEAST once a day. I put it in my chocolate pudding.
I mention this, because this LOOPY report just came out, suggesting that eating an animal product-free diet shrinks people's brains. Dr. Fuhrman had this to say about it, "Duh, they are telling people NOW that B12 deficiency damages the nervous system and brain. What a revelation! The headline that a veggie diet shrinks the brain is simply a distortion."
The research appears in the journal Neurology. The Courier Mail reports:
Vegans and vegetarians — such as Heather Mills — are the most likely to be deficient because the best sources of the vitamin are meat, particularly liver, milk and fish.
Vitamin B12 deficiency can also cause anaemia and inflammation of the nervous system.
Yeast extracts are one of the few vegetarian foods which provide good levels of the vitamin.
The link was discovered by Oxford University scientists who used memory tests, physical checks and brain scans to examine 107 people between the ages of 61 and 87.
When the volunteers were retested five years later the medics found those with the lowest levels of vitamin B12 were also the most likely to have brain shrinkage. It confirms earlier research showing a link between brain atrophy and low levels of B12.
Now, Dr. Fuhrman recommends taking a multi-vitamin to get B12. Actually, he sells his own multi, called Gentle Care. So you don't HAVE to eat animal products if you don't want to, but if you eat a vegetable-based diet with SOME animal products, consider these diet tips from Dr. Fuhrman. Take a look:
- Get enough daily sunshine in a southern climate to obtain vitamin D needs.
- Consume a small amount of kelp regularly to ensure sufficient iodine intake.
- Consume some animal products such as nonfat dairy or fish at least every other day to assure B12 needs are met.
- Eat flaxseed or walnuts every day to potentially meet omega-3 fatty acid needs.
- Eat enough fresh green vegetables, seeds (especially pumpkin seeds), and beans to ensure adequate intake of zinc and other minerals.
Works for me! I'm not a vegan or a vegetarian. I eat fish. So I know, given the hefty amount of fruits, veggies, nuts and seeds I eat—plus the yeast and occasional seafood—I'm getting all the nutrients I need. However, if you are a vegan or vegetarian, Dr. Fuhrman insists there is legitimate concern for vitamin-deficiency—be mindful of it.
But don't get confused. Fruits and vegetables ARE nutritional superstars! In fact, some vegetables—like kale, spinach and broccoli—have MORE protein than steak.
Oh, and don't call me stupid because I don't eat meat!
UPDATE: The yeast might be tasty, but Dr. Fuhrman STILL recommends taking a B12 supplement. So, I've got some Gentle Care to buy!

It was the "Lick felt 'round the world."
The year was 2005. The girl was Jessica Chobot (born Jessica Lynn Horn). And, considering the enduring ramifications, the picture was seductively simple: A Sony PSP – so phallic and libidinous in its own right – being licked, from top to bottom, slathered upon like a…ahem… Well, let's be honest. You can say it was being tongue-bathed like an ice lolly or fudge pop, but not many men fantasize about water-based frozen snacks. Okay, maybe basement-gamers do, but this article isn't about the dietary habits of MMO subscribers.
This is about the best thing to hit gaming since Lara Croft. This is about Jessica Chobot, certified gaming goddess.
She was born on July 7th, 1977 in Buffalo, New York, but spent most of her childhood moving about with her family. Before she reached high school, Jessica had lived in several places along the East Coast and Midwest; perhaps as a way to make amends for this constant uprooting and relocation, her every gaming whim was indulged -- more or less -- and the burgeoning Princess of Polygons soon owned every console and game she desired.
By the time she was a teenager, Jessica was supplementing her gaming obsession with other interests. According to AskMen, she went through a 'punk/Goth phase that encompassed a preference for combat boots, Nietzsche and vampires. She also discovered role-playing games during this time, as characters like Malkavian and Toreador from White Wolf's Vampire: The Masquerade became her alter egos. She joined her first LARPing group while she was attending college in Ohio.'
Yes. You read that right. Jessica has LARP'd. If that doesn't confirm your nerd cred, I don't know what does.
After college, she settled into a more mainstream life and worked as an administrative assistant for a real estate agency. Dissatisfied with the corporate existence, Jessica picked up her game controller again – playing, in particular, World of Warcraft and Final Fantasy IX. During this time she made several attempts to move to Japan because of her love of anime and manga. But after being rejected from JET, she decided to stay in America, married her fiancé, and returned to college for teaching certification. She also quit the secretarial gig, and went to work at EB Games.
Fast-forward to 2005, and Jessica was now modeling. On the PSP's release day, she also had a photo-shoot. She picked one up on her way, playfully took the now infamous picture, and, at the behest of a friend, jokingly sent it to Kotaku. Kotaku, as luck would have it, posted it, and was flooded with emails. Who is this girl? Where is she? Who does she work for? She was offered a position to write game reviews for a partner site, and she accepted.
That same year, at E3, she ran into an IGN representative who was impressed with her gaming knowledge and passion for Japanese culture. An editor offered her a position at IGN's Insider's channel, and she grabbed it, moving to California – leaving her old life -- and husband -- behind.
Once she began working at IGN in 2006, Jessica's career truly took off. She became the regular host of IGN Weekly, landed regular guest spots on Maxim radio, served as game advisor on The Daily Habit, and even took over the dating advice columnist on the IGN Babes channel. On March 23rd, 2009, she began hosting the IGN Daily Fix and regular segments on Xbox Live and Fuel TV, as well as hosting one of IGN's most popular blogs. A year later, Naomi Kyle replaced her and Jessica is now hosting IGN's Weekly Wood, Mix'd Reviews, and Strategize. In addition, she has modeled for the J!NX female gamers clothing line and for a limited edition anime sculpture, and co-authored a sci-fi script with Tron creator Steve Lisberger called Soul Code, has made multiple appearances on G4's Filter, Attack of the Show!, has co-hosted Gamer's Dojo on Lifeskool TV. In 2011, Jessica began co-hosting G4's Proving Ground with Ryan Dunn, a program whose airing cycle was disrupted by Dunn's death in an automobile crash on June 20, 2011; the program was pulled from airing for a month before returning to finish its beginning on July 19th, 2011. In 2008, Jessica was named the 88th most desirable woman by AskMen magazine, and 14th hottest Woman of Business in 2009 by Business Pundit. Recently, she placed 57th in the 2011 AskMen's Top 99 Women poll.
But what really cements Jessica Chobot's place atop the Gaming Goddess throne is her involvement with EA and Bioware, and her role as NPC Diana Allers in Mass Effect 3. And yes, you can bring her aboard the Normandy and romance her – to save you the trouble, here you go.
One of the most important aspects of Jessica Chobot is her sex appeal, of course, but what makes that so important is what that sex appeal has achieved for the gaming industry. She has transformed a hobby that was generally reserved for geeks and nerds into something sexy, something popular and -- I daresay -- something cool. But she's much more than just another pretty face. Known for speaking her mind, Jessica is also the brains behind the beauty.
And yes – in case you were wondering – she has also licked a PS Vita.
Some notable facts about Miss Chobot:
- She has owned the following game systems (in no particular order): Atari 2600, Gameboy, Gameboy Advance, GameCube, N64, NES, SNES, Nintendo DS, PS2, PSP (duh), PlayStation, Xbox, Xbox 360, PS3.
- Currently lives in Los Angeles.
- Jessica hates anthropomorphic animals, which is why she hates Disney movies, with the exception of Wall-E.
- She was married; however, when she divorced she kept the last name 'Chobot.' On August 24th, 2011, Jess became engaged to G4's Blair Herter. They married on February 18th, 2012 (sorry, guys).
- Chun Li is Jess's favorite character in gaming. And she will own you in Street Fighter 4, if she's playing that character.
- She's been nicknamed the 'Baroness,' due to her resemblance to that character.
- Jess was the cover model for Grand Theft Auto IV (*see slideshow*)
- She's also a huge fan of Wonder Woman and cites actress Lynda Carter as her idol.

These quotes below from the article are the front page clearly do not look like good news. Seems the shorts are going to run gold and silver into the ground.
There's a tremendous amount of new shorting going on in the metals market right now," said Kevin Grady, president of Phoenix Futures and Options. Grady said when gold broke through the $1,525 to $1,539 level, it unleashed a new wave of selling.
"That's where all the big stops were. The big support level will now be the huge resistance levels...I think we're going to test the 1,450 area as long as the market does not break back above those levels and run the shorts out," he said. "The shorts have the market going their way, and I don't see them getting out. Right now they control this market."
The market has been increasingly negative on gold, with Goldman Sachs making a high-profile call to short it this week. "You've had lesser open interest. In the last few months, we lost about 20 percent of our open interest and on top of that every other asset manager has moved away from gold into strong stocks. Right now the path for least resistance for gold is lower," said RBC analyst George Gero.

Kundalini Yoga's Highest Mantra Meditation
Kundalini Yoga Mantra Meditation
Kirtan Kriya
Kundalini Yoga's Best Mantra Meditation Video – Kirtan Kriya
On the website, you find many powerful Kundalini Yoga Meditations, which combine the use of mantras, mudras and pranayama (breathing), to bestow profound material and spiritual benefits to those who practice them sincerely over time. Some of the most popular of these meditations are Sodarshan Chakra Meditation, Infinite Energy and Prosperity Meditation Technique and Tantric Sat Kriya for Transmuting Sexual Energy. None of these though, are actually considered the greatest Kundalini Yoga Meditation. This honor belongs to the mantra meditation I am going to detail for you today and it is called Kirtan Kriya.
One of the primary reason's Kirtan Kriya is considered the highest of all the Kundalini Yoga meditations, is because it uses the most important mantra from this yogic science, the Sa Ta Na Ma mantra. Sa Ta Na Ma is considered the most fundamental mantra in Kundalini Yoga. You will notice that the very greeting in Kundalini Yoga "Sat Nam" contains the Sa Ta Na Ma components. Sat Nam is a seed mantra and it means True Identity or the True Divine You, while Sa Ta Na Ma is understood as Existence, Life, Death and Rebirth. Kirtan Kriya uses this all important mantra as the centerpiece of the meditation.
Kirtan Mantra Meditation will be the 16th entry in our ongoing and popular Free Online Guided Meditation Techniques E-book. As it is also considered a Kundalini Yoga Kriya, I will include it in the Free Illustrated Kundalini Yoga Kriyas E-Book as well. In addition, I will soon be launching the Free Kundalini Yoga Meditations E-book, to help group those meditations specifically, and of course Kirtan Kriya will be a part of that book as well.
Kirtan Kriya, like many of the other Kundalini Yoga Meditations, exploits the power of mantras, hand positions (mudras), mind power, naad yoga (yoga of sound) to work it's magic and in the design section below, you will find details regarding these aspects of the meditation. As with all kundalini yoga technique and meditations, it is important to go slowly and follow the guidelines I have laid out in the following articles: Beginner's Guide to Yoga Practice and Guidelines for Kundalini Yoga Practice.
Benefits of Kirtan Kriya – Sa Ta Na Ma Mantra Meditation:
- Increases intuitive abilities and psychic powers.
- Clears the system of negative emotions, traumas and impressions.
- Heals, balances and uplifts the emotional body.
- Builds concentration and mental focus.
- Bestows peace and tranquility.
- Gives one awareness of one's Divine Infinite Nature.
Design of Kirtan Mantra Meditation:
- As explained above, uses the fundamental Sa Ta Na Ma Mantra to help one realize their True Divine Nature. As indicated, this is considered one of the most important mantras for Kundalini Yoga Meditations.
- Uses the power of visualization to activate the higher chakras and associated endocrine glands. Specifically this mantra meditation is going to activate the Crown Chakra and the Ajna Chakra (Third Eye), thus it will stimulate the pineal and pituitary glands specifically. These are the most important glands of the endocrine system and the highest chakras of the kundalini yoga chakra system. For more information about the chakra model you can read the article, Kundalini Yoga Seven Chakra System.
- Uses the science of Mudras or hand/body positions to create and complete certain circuits in the body. The following hand positions are used, which bestow the benefits as I have indicated below.
Index Finger + Thumb –> Wisdom
Middle Finger + Thumb –> Focus
Ring Finger + Thumb –> Energy
Little Finger + Thumb –> Connection
In addition, Shambhavi Mudra is used, where the eyes are turned up to look through the center of the forehead, which stimulates and activates the Ajna Chakra (Third Eye).
How to Do Kirtan Kriya – Sa Ta Na Ma Mantra Meditation:
- Sit in any cross legged posture. You can also do this meditation sitting on a chair.
- Elongate your spine and tuck your chin in slightly (like a soldier at attention). Rest your wrists gently on your knees, with your palms facing slightly upwards.
- Close your eyes, but turn them upwards such that you looking through the center of the forehead. This is shambhavi mudra, and only hold it for as long as is comfortable. Release it whenever necessary and continue with the meditation, reapplying it once ready.
- While chanting the mantra as described below, follow the following pattern.
Press the index finger + thumb for SA
Press the middle finger + thumb for TA
Press the ring finger + thumb for NA
Press the little finger + thumb for MA
- Begin to Chant the Mantra now. Slowly chanting the sounds Sa Ta Na Ma repeatedly. Do the following visualization as you chant. Visualize the sound S, T, N, M entering through the top of the head through the crown chakra, while visualizing the sound "A" leaving through the center of the forehead through the ajna chakra. Keep visualizing this flow of the mantra and keep making the finger movements as you chant the mantra in the following way.
- Chant aloud for 5 minutes.
- Chant in a whisper for 5 minutes.
- Chant mentally for 10 minutes.
- Chant in a whisper for 5 minutes.
- Chant aloud for 5 minutes.
- To end, sit completely silently and still for 1 minute and allow infinite to descend upon you. The total time for the meditation is therefore 31 minutes.
Summary of Sa Ta Na Ma Mantra Meditation:
Although at first glance this mantra meditation might look complicated, it really is not. You are simply chanting the sounds SA TA NA MA, visualizing them flowing through your crown and ajna chakras, and applying the appropriate mudra for each sound. As far as Kundalini Yoga Meditation are concerned or for that matter any mantra meditation are concerned, Kirtan Kriya is one of the most profound and effective meditations you can do, so commit to it seriously and find out for yourself all the wonderful benefits of this timeless technique.

Ever notice when a tv station gets a popular show they marathon it to death? One such show is filmed in the midwestern river town of Le Claire, Iowa. Turn your tv off and drive to the quaint town full of antique stores, restaurants, and river activities, as well as the antique store that put them on the map to America, Antique Archaeology.
If your familiar with the History Channel's "American Pickers" reality show, then you know Antique Archaeology is the shop where the tv show is based. Not only is this store the set of the show, it's a real working store that fans and visitors are welcome to browse, photograph and barter for items picked on various shows and across the states. Since our first visit the Antique Archaeology, the second building is open with more picks, T-shirts, books, and souvenirs.
Unfortunately, during this trip, we didn't see the owners Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz or meet their manager Danielle Colby Cushman. Although, it was exciting to meet Mike Wolfe during our first trip a couple of years ago. He is very down to earth and takes time to talk to everyone while posing for photographs. We bought two items, our candy vending machine was on a past show. Mike suggested we pose with him in a picture as he shined my shoes since the second item we bought was a metal shoe shine! As the show has gained popularity, it's less likely to catch a glimpse of the three as we hear Danielle now lives in the Chicago area while doing her work by computer and phone, Mike resides with his family in the Nashville, Tennessee area close to their second location, and Frank continues to live locally in the Davenport area. However, you never know when all are back for filming! Follow Mike Wolfe on Facebook for all up to date sightings and picking information. Frank Fritz has a store in northern Illinois.
Check out www.antiquearchaeology.com for photos of both locations, maps, merchandise, and links of interest. Plan to spend the day in Le Claire by checking for coming events at visitleclaire.com.
View the slideshow for sights from location, I bet you will see familiar picks from the show.
Location: 115 1/2 Davenport Street, Le Claire, Iowa 52753. (563)-265-3939

"Reflexology is a powerful tool in helping the body to detoxify," said Wise. "This is extremely helpful for those suffering with all types of addictions."

Reflexology is a natural healing art based on the principle that there are reflexes in the feet and hands that correspond to an individual's organs and body systems. Through application of pressure on these reflex points in the hands and feet, reflexology relieves tension, improves circulation, helps the body to rid itself of toxins and encourages overall healing.
The pressure on these points can also cause physiological changes in the body that promote health in the corresponding organs through energetic pathways in the nervous system. The pressure sends signals that balance the nervous system and release endorphins that reduce pain and stress.
Algee and Carine provide reflexology services out of Insight Learning & Wellness Center. For more on these practitioners, please visit or www.insight-wellness.com. To schedule an appointment, call 216.765.4470. For more information on reflexology, see the ICR website: www.icr-reflexology.org.
