Eat cheap during Comic-Con
Some affordable dining ideas for downtown San Diego dwellers
Your Comic-Con energy will be spent celeb-sighting, hoarding collectibles and converging with die-hard fans of mutant superheroes. A smart way to do this high-metabolism event?
Eat constantly; spend sparingly. Some affordable dining ideas:
Family-owned Brian's 24 (828 Sixth Ave., 619-702-8410 or brians24.com) is a 24-hour eatery — because anytime's the right time for buttermilk hot cakes and breakfast tacos with rib-eye steak. Their $29 Pancake Monster is free if you gobble it all by yourself ... in under an hour. Otherwise this freakish calorie stack — three fried eggs, five hot cakes, four bacon strips, two sausage patties, ham, country-fried steak and french fries — could feed five people.
Make crucial contact with a fish taco — San Diego and Baja California's food ambassador — at the Tin Fish (170 Sixth Ave., downtown. 619-238-8100 or tinfishgaslamp.com), right across from the Convention Center.
Keep an eye out for food trucks, which typically park in the lot across from the Convention Center during Comic-Con. Follow their daily locations at sdfoodtrucks.com.
At Lucky's Lunch Counter (338 Seventh Ave., downtown. 619-255-4782 or luckyslunchcounter.com) you'll find all-day breakfast, corned beef, Reubens, matzo ball soup and hot dogs dressed in Midwestern condiments. This small eatery by the ballpark is open 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. daily.
More of high-rise made of bread and meat than a simple sandwich, the signature item at Bolillo Tortas (417 Fourth Ave., Gaslamp. 619-255-6268 or bolillotortas.com) is the torta. An informal hunger-buster common in Mexico, you can have a warm carne asada torta with avocado, mayo, tomato and red onions for $9.50.
Born right here in San Diego, the Broken Yolk Café (355 Sixth Ave., downtown. 619-338-9655 or thebrokenyolkcafe.com) is a yesteryear chain that plays up its "eggs with ..." menu, as well as that time their Broken Yolk Iron Man Challenge was on "Man v. Food." (Their dozen-egg omelet with chili and so much shredded cheese was devoured by host Adam Richman.)
You're not Tony Stark, so forget steakhouses and haute restaurant burgers. Get tasty at a reasonable price at Hodad's (945 Broadway, downtown. 619-234-6323 or hodadies.com), a local fave known for massive double-patty burgers (under $10), shakes and humble origins in Ocean Beach. There's also Burger Lounge (528 Fifth Ave., Gaslamp Quarter. 619-955-5727 or burgerlounge.com), an organic, grassfed-beef promoting chainlet that started in Coronado.
It's an eatery easily mistaken for a tattoo parlor, and get a combo plate at Pokez Mexican Restaurant (947 E St., East Village. 619-702-7160 or pokezsd.com). They've got graffitied walls, chicken enchiladas, shrimp quesadillas and the like. And Pokez is sought out by local vegans and vegetarians for its animal-free offerings (e.g. lard-free beans, tortillas and chips!).
Have superhero-themed artisan pizzas for $14 at Pinzimini (Westin San Diego Gaslamp Quarter, 910 Broadway Circle, downtown. 619-272-5840 or pinziminisandiego.com). Why the hotel restaurant calls a pie topped with bacon, chicken, pepperoni and sausage The Hunger Games pizza is beyond us. Their Wolverine with barbecue pulled chicken, grilled red onions and mozzarella makes sense though.

Two newly-hatched baby red-tailed hawks sit in their nest on the California Dome above the Museum of Man in Balboa Park. The family of red-tailed hawks has been named by a contest run by the Museum of Man. The male hawk was dubbed "Rocky" as in Rocky Balboa; the mother is Cali, after the dome she nested on; and the two chicks are called Horus, after the Egyptian god and SheChuck (cq), the Kumeyaay word for "hawk."

At the Open: Upsets, Illness and the Verge of (Bad) History
There were a few upsets. An illness. Some dominance. And a plus (and more minuses) for American tennis. Here's our look at what happened at the U.S. Open on Saturday.
Endangered species: American male tennis player. John Isner, America's best hope on the men's side for a long run at the Open—or at least a marquee match on Labor Day against Rafael Nadal—bowed out of the tournament Saturday afternoon, 6-4, 3-6, 7-5, 7-6(5) to Philipp Kohlschreiber, the same man who beat him in the third round last year. Isner, a 6-foot-10 former college standout with perhaps the best serve in the world, served for the fourth set but was broken.
Where it went wrong: Isner has a thigh injury, but said "it wasn't an issue"; he said he got too excited during the match. "I wore myself out getting charged up out there," he said. "Had I kept it calm, I think, you know, I could still be out there right now."
Isner also double faulted five times and won only 47% of his second serve points (he had 78 double faults in 51 matches prior to the tournament, and had won 56% of second-serve points in those matches).
And so the last American man standing at the U.S. Open is: Tim Smyczek, a 25-year-old who thought he might miss his first-round match because the tournament transportation car he was riding in ran out of gas (after 20 minutes or so, Smyczek said, another tournament worker who was driving by stopped and picked him up).
If Smyczek doesn't defeat the unseeded Marcel Granollers on Sunday, American men will have gone the entire season without reaching the fourth round of a Grand Slam, a first in the history of tennis (it will also be the first time in history that no American man reached the fourth round of the U.S. Open). Isner said he wouldn't be watching Smyczek's match, or worrying about the dearth of American contenders.
"I don't care," he said. "I'm going to watch football for a while. That's all I care about."
Smyczek, who will be playing his first-ever third-round match at a Grand Slam, said he would do anything to win. Told that Granollers is a loud grunter, Smyczek said, "I'll grunt back."
Risk is good. Earlier in the day, Alison Riske—the woman who still travels with her "musky green" security blanket—dumped No. 7 Petra Kvitova, the former Wimbledon champion, 6-3, 6-0. Kvitova spent Friday in bed after receiving a blood test (she has a fever and a virus). Before this tournament, Riske had never won a Grand Slam singles match anywhere other than Wimbledon. She'll next play Daniela Hantuchova for a spot in the quarterfinals. "Every week isn't like this," Riske said. There are two other American women left in the draw, and they're America's two best players. The problem: They are playing each other on Sunday. Serena Williams, the defending champion and favorite, will face Sloane Stephens in the feature match of the afternoon. Stephens beat Williams at the Australian Open quarterfinals earlier this year. The 20-year-old is playing well so far, but Williams remains the favorite.
A scare for a contender. Victoria Azarenka, the No. 2 seed and last year's finalist, dropped the first set to Alize Cornet on Saturday before recovering for a 6-7(2), 6-3, 6-2 victory. She wasn't happy with her play, or a line call that caused her to argue with the chair umpire. "That was the most ridiculous thing there is," Azarenka said afterwards.
Surprise, surprise. Nadal's hard-court dominance continued (he's now 18-0). The No. 2 seed moved into the fourth round with a straight-sets victory. He'll face Kohlschreiber next.
Under the radar. No woman has played better this tournament than Simona Halep. Halep, who won New Haven prior to the Open, hasn't broken a sweat since a tough first-round match. She has lost four total games in the last two rounds and will play Flavia Pennetta in the fourth round. She has a good chance of reaching the semifinals. "It was the best match ever for me," she said after pummeling Maria Kirilenko on Saturday, 6-1, 6-0. "No mistakes."
Related: Mike and Bob Bryan have won 15 doubles Grand Slam titles, but the twins are perhaps equally known for their post-victory, flying chest bump. The brothers give us an insider's guide to the secrets of their craft (and by "craft," we mean chest-bumping, not tennis).

The goal of the Roots Retreat music festival next weekend is right there in the name — a return to the real roots of an event where the focus is on the music, not big crowds and high prices, which will also serve as a retreat, a mini-vacation from the stress and cares of regular life.
Creating the Roots Retreat was a collaborative effort between Dewey Paul Moffitt of the Goat Soup and Whiskey Tavern in Keystone and local musician Leon Joseph Littlebird. Putting on music festivals is nothing new to Moffitt, who's been involved with events from San Francisco to Florida. While he loves the music industry, Moffitt had become increasingly frustrated with many concerts' high costs and large crowds. Having lived in Summit County for five years, he has been hoping to put together a music festival.
"I had the idea of doing a retreat-type festival, something that's a smaller scale, not overwhelming like a lot of big festivals get," he said.
About a year ago, Moffitt was approached by Littlebird, who had envisioned a "roots festival" and wanted help bringing it to life. The two put their heads together and came up with the Roots Retreat, mixing Littlebird's "roots" idea with Moffitt's "retreat." It all really came together, Moffitt said, when they hit upon the location for their festival — Aspen Canyon Ranch, 26 miles north of Silverthorne in Grand County.
"The site out there is so beautiful," Moffitt said. He's also excited that having the festival at Aspen Canyon Ranch means that festivalgoers can not only enjoy the music but the natural surroundings and recreational opportunities. Camping and parking at the festival are free, as are opportunities for fishing and hiking. The ranch provides guided activities, such as horseback riding, and other amenities including massage, that will be an additional cost for those who opt to do them.
The natural setting also supports the health focus of the Roots Retreat festival. Retreats, usually, are for healing — physical, emotional, spiritual. Moffitt wants people to come to the festival, put their stresses behind them and leave in a happier, healthier state.
To emphasize this aspect, Moffitt and other event organizers have decided that a portion of the proceeds from the festival will go toward the Summit Community Care Clinic.
"There are …. people in this community that rely on the Summit Community Care Clinic," Moffitt said. "What better organization to tie into the whole thing, so we can give back to them who give so much to us."
Brandi Thompson, development specialist at the Summit Community Care Clinic, said that they were grateful and honored to be chosen as festival beneficiaries, particularly at an event with a health-related focus.
"I think it's really special that this (festival) is community-driven. It's great that they want to give back to a resource that's critical for the community," she said. "It applies to our mission and it's really cool how they decided to make that a focus of the event, and we feel that we align with that. We're very honored."
Roots and music
The music lineup for the Roots Retreat features almost entirely Colorado-based bands, with just a few exceptions. Most of the bands are local Summit County musicians, which Moffitt calls, "staples in the community."
Among those include performances by Littlebird, the Arnie J. Green Band, Funky Johnson, the Luv Brothers and Home Grown Mountain Jams, to name just a few.
Regional bands that are attending include The Grant Fun out of Boulder, Oakhurst, a bluegrass band from Denver, and The Congress, also from Denver.
From out of state is the Kris Lager Band, hailing from Nebraska and who are "a really fun and funky soul band," according to Moffitt.
The Giving Tree, out of Chicago, will bring their Americana rock sound to the festival on Sunday. According to its bio, the band includes a wide variety of instruments, from acoustic and electric guitars to banjos, violins, mandolins and more.
A last-minute add is Billy Iuso and the Restless Natives, coming to Summit County from New Orleans and performing a special set with Tori Pater from the band Polytoxic.
"It's all kind of Americana-based," Moffitt said of the music line-up. "It just goes in all different directions, to rock or funk or blues or bluegrass. It's a little bit of everything."
Variety is something that Home Grown Mountain Jams thrives off of, according to lead guitarist Ryan Emmett. "I'm looking forward to it," he said of the festival. "We try to do as big of a variety as we can. Everybody in the band has a different background."
Moffitt said he's looking forward to seeing the blend of music and styles at the festival. All of the sounds fit with the Roots Retreat theme. "It all has roots somewhere," he said. "It'll be perfect. I have no doubts that all the styles will blend perfectly together."
Listen and learn
In addition to listening to music, festivalgoers will have a chance to participate as well. In the morning on Saturday and Sunday, Music on the Mountains will provide free music clinics for children, with instruments and singing. For the adults, guitar workshop classes will allow attendees to chat with local musicians about every aspect of music, from technicalities of playing an instrument to how to manage show business. Guitars are encouraged but not required.
"It's set up that way. It's very interactive in that sense, where the crowd isn't being alienated or treated like a commodity," Moffitt said. "The people that are coming up, they're the roots, they're part of the whole experience. In that way it's very different from other festivals."

Sealants are plastic coatings that protect those difficult to reach pits and grooves on the chewing surfaces of the teeth from the bacteria that cause tooth decay. A quick and painless procedure done in your dentist's office, sealants are applied to the chewing surfaces of permanent molars as soon as possible after they fully erupt in the mouth, usually between the ages of six to eight for first molars and 10 to 12 for second molars. While sealants are not necessary for all children, they are particularly beneficial to children who are at higher risk for tooth decay. But, how do you know if your child is at higher risk?Although overall oral health risk is a combination of genetics, personal habits and diet, history of decay is a good predictor for future risk of decay. Your child is considered to be at higher risk if he or she has had a cavity filled in the past three years. The good news is you may be able to help prevent future cavities by making sure your child receives preventive care, including having sealants applied to first and second molars.
Although approximately 60 to 70 percent of cavities can be prevented by placing
sealants on children's teeth, a recent study by Delta Dental shows that 60 percent of
children age 6 to 9 who are at higher risk of tooth decay did not receive sealants on
their first molars, and 80 percent of children age 11 to 15 did not receive sealants on
their second molars.1
These figures are particularly striking when you realize that many dental plans cover preventive care, like sealants, at as much at 100 percent of the cost. As a parent, you want your child to be as healthy as possible, and that includes protecting their teeth. Delta Dental is here to help. Our myDentalScore risk assessment tool helps you better assess your child's risk for oral disease by providing an easy to understand oral health scores report that you can use to consult with your dentist to determine the best treatment patterns for your child's oral health needs. We also encourage you to take a look at your dental plan and make sure you are using preventive treatments to their full advantage – most are simple, painless and inexpensive. They can save your child from future pain and discomfort that often accompany cavities, and save you from paying for expensive fillings, crowns, or root canals.

The ex-Marine faces four additional felony charges stemming from testimony from a second witness who said Huddleston tried to hire him to kill 34-year-old Kristy Huddleston.
"This second witness said he was approached by Mr. Huddleston to murder his wife," said prosecutor David Hoppe.
The same grand jury that indicted Huddleston on six Measure 11 counts related to her death added charges of attempted aggravated murder, solicitation to commit aggravated murder, attempted murder and solicitation to commit murder, Hoppe said.
Police and Jackson County Fire District No. 5 responded to the Huddlestons' home at 6645 Pioneer Road after a 911 call reported Kristy Huddleston bleeding at 2:10 a.m. on March 23.
Police tracked Bourne Huddleston to an Eagle Point residence where he was arrested without incident.
The couple's 10-year-old son was in the Pioneer Road home at the time of the shooting and called police.
Following his plea on Wednesday, Huddleston was ordered back to the Jackson County Jail, where he remained without bail.
A pretrial hearing has been set for May 21.
Hoppe said a trial is still several months away.
"Typically in a murder case it can take anywhere from eight months to a year before there is a trial," Hoppe said.
Kristy Huddleston was a nurse care manager for the Department of Veterans Affairs' Southern Oregon Rehabilitation Center and Clinics in White City.
Hoppe said the investigation into her death continues.

American Ebola Patient Improving
Editor's note: This story was updated on August 4, 2014.
Aug. 1, 2014 -- An American doctor infected with the deadly Ebola virus was improving Monday after arriving in Atlanta on Saturday, according to the aid organization he works for.
Dr. Kent Brantly is being treated in a special isolation unit at Emory University Hospital. A patient with Ebola virus has never before been cared for in an institution in the United States.

Brantly was transported by a medical evacuation plane equipped with a containment unit, according to Samaritan's Purse, an international relief organization. The plane landed at Dobbins Air Force Base near Atlanta on Saturday. Brantly was able to walk into the hospital, photographs appear to show.
A second patient, missionary Nancy Writebol, was expected to arrive in Atlanta on Tuesday, the Christian mission organization SIM said. She will be treated in the same Emory isolation unit. Writebol remained in serious but stable condition as of Monday, according to SIM.
"We are so grateful and encouraged to hear that Nancy's condition remains stable and that she will be with us soon," said Bruce Johnson, president of SIM USA, in a statement Monday. "Her husband, David, told me Sunday her appetite had improved and she requested one of her favorite dishes – Liberian potato soup – and coffee."
Writebol, who works with SIM, was in Liberia on a joint team with Brantly of Samaritan's Purse.
Johnson says Writebol's husband will return to Atlanta on a separate flight and will stay in the area to be near her. Both Writebol and Brantly received a dose of an "experimental serum" before leaving Africa, Samaritan's Purse said in a statement Sunday.
Initially, "there was only enough for one person. Dr. Brantly asked that it be given to Nancy Writebol," said Franklin Graham, president of Samaritan's Purse. But the organization said later Brantly was able to receive a dose of the serum as well. No further details were provided.

Employees, both current and former, at Copper Mountain Resort are using the ski area's 40th anniversary as an opportunity to host a reunion. The gathering isn't limited to employees - anyone who has had an involvement with Copper Mountain over the years is invited to join in, bringing stories, photos and memories to share during the event this weekend.
The reunion is also doubling as a fundraising benefit for Chuck "CJ" Julin, who was among the first employees at Copper Mountain in 1972, working there until 1991 and then returning in 2010 as executive director of Team Summit. After Julin suffered a stroke in September of last year, his friends and former colleagues rallied to his side, working with the resort, Team Summit Colorado, the Copper Mountain Resort Association and the "old" Ex-Employee Committee to organize the reunion. All proceeds from the lift ticket sales will go to Julin to help defray medical expenses.
"We're really excited that we're able to get people together for Copper's 40th, to raise money and to be able to see a bunch of old friends," said Jim Spenst, also a former Copper employee and friend of Julin's.
Spenst and others involved agree that the 40th anniversary has afforded the perfect opportunity to merge the present day with the history that Julin and many other people share with the 40-year-old resort.
Growing up in Leadville and Climax, skiing wasn't a question for young Julin so much as an automatic aspect of life, just as first steps and the fist day at school. He was three when he started, encouraged by his father, who was president of the Continental Ski Club. He has strong memories of learning to ski down Chalk Mountain.
"That's where my dad said here, strapped the skis to my feet and said 'here you go,'" Julin said. "He gave me the gift of being on the hill."
From then on, skiing remained a large part of Julin's life, not only recreationally, but eventually professionally as well. Julin said he remembers, almost down to the exact moment, when, at age 12, he definitively decided that he wanted a skiing-related career.
"I want to make skis," he told himself while contemplating a pair of them in his parents' basement. "I want to be in the ski business, that's what I want to do."
And that's just what he did, returning to the Rocky Mountains after college and getting a job at Arapaho Basin, which involved working at the rental shop, running the lift and giving ski lessons. News that another resort was opening up at Copper Mountain intrigued him, so he went over and got himself an interview. Soon after, he became employee 116, working at both the ski school and the repair shop in the center building.
"This was an opportunity to be a part of something really great and it was a bit of a frontier - we were pioneers," he said. He was thrilled to be involved.
While Julin enjoyed his work at the tuning center and ski school, he was eager to learn about all aspects of the industry. So when the director of ski patrol asked if he wanted to join, he said, "Sure!"
"Those were terrific years, being part of ski patrol," Julin said.
It was where he met many of the people he's still in touch with today, including Spenst, who recalls the "great experiences" he and Julin had skiing all over Copper Mountain, particularly one "glorious spring day in late April. We just went out there for fun," Spenst said.
In addition to ski patrol, Julin spent time in the race department and then the marketing side, working with skier services, sales, promotions and special events. Eventually he decided to return to school to receive his MBA, a decision influenced, he says, by Copper founder Chuck Lewis.
"He was a fun guy, a passionate guy, and a very astute businessman," Julin said, "and so every day you could learn something from him that would make you a better person. I was very lucky."
Julin likes to insist that Lewis "sewed a homing device in me" that kept calling him back to the mountains. Returning was never a question for Julin. "I love the mountains. They're a part of me," he said, naming off mountains he's looked at his whole life the way one would mention old friends.
"Skiing is a way of life for him, it's a lifestyle," Spenst said. "He turned a love and a lifestyle into a profession. Winter sports activities are all CJ. Helping people enjoy the mountains and the winter activities that are available in mountain communities is very much at his core."
For many of those who know him, Julin is inextricably tied to the mountains in their memory.
"He was the first person who gave me the introduction to Copper," said Eddie Bowers, who came to work at the resort in 1987. "We became instant friends."
Listening to those who know him talk, a portrait of a man emerges - someone outgoing, friendly and perpetually positive.
"He's just one of those guys you just love to be around," Bowers said.
Chuck Tolton agrees. "He's just effusively good-natured and positive, every day," he said. "It doesn't matter what he's doing, he is so committed to it and so into it that it's very infectious, that positive outlook, and I think given the seriousness of what we went through last fall, I think that's even more the case."
Being sociable just comes naturally to Julin, almost as naturally as skiing, which isn't surprising, as he beleives the two to go hand-in-hand.
"Skiing is a very social sport," he said. "When I was a kid at Climax I can still remember my parents and their comrades singing ski songs. ... It would be nice to see if the customers would slow down a little bit too and enjoy just being there and celebrating part of skiing together. That's what makes the sport so great, because it's such a social gathering."
In true form, Julin said he is looking forward to the reunion and a chance to be with friends and re-connect with old ones.
"There will be a lot of tales told this weekend," he said, "some really great ones, because they are great people."

What, Me Worry? The Multi-Front Assault on Privacy
Andrew Askland
Arizona State University (ASU) - Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law
St. Louis University Public Law Review, Vol. 25, No. 33, 2006
Americans are concerned about their privacy. However, there is no clear or comprehensive vision of how to express the concern for privacy. There is no consensus about a single definition that captures all of privacy's ambit. This article does not proffer a definition, but follows the example of Alan Westin and suggests that we should look to the functions that privacy performs as the best way to understand privacy and how we should devise means to protect it from encroachments. This article describes some of the challenges that face privacy in our technology rich society, using the four "basic states of individual privacy" articulated by Westin.
Westin's four basic states are: solitude, intimacy, anonymity, and reserve. With solitude, "the individual is separated from the group and freed from the observation of other persons." With intimacy, the person is a member of "a small unit that claims and is allowed to exercise corporate seclusion so that it may achieve a close, relaxed, and frank relationship." The traditional husband-wife relationship is a clear instance, but work cliques also qualify. With anonymity, "the individual is in public places or performing public acts but still seeks, and finds, freedom from identification and surveillance." Lastly, reserve is "the creation of a psychological barrier against unwanted intrusion." Reserve is the most elusive of the four states, however, despite the difficulty of specifying a definition, it is an important part of our functional expectations for privacy.

Ayurveda, the science of life, has brought
true health and wellness to millions of individuals throughout
the ages with simple changes in daily living practices. Incorporating
just a few of these proven methods into your lifestyle can
bring about radical changes in your life.
This ancient art of healing has been practiced
continuously for over 5,000 years. The principles of many
natural healing systems now familiar in the West, such as
Homeopathy and Polarity Therapy, have their roots in Ayurveda.
Ayurvedic practices restore the balance and harmony of the
individual, resulting in self-healing, good health and longevity.
Our Purpose
The Ayurvedic Institute is a non-profit
501(c)3 organization that teaches the principles and practices
of Ayurveda, the ancient science of life. We provide authentic
education in a supportive environment that encourages the
integration of Ayurveda by individuals into their daily living
and by health care professionals into their clinical practices.
Educational Philosophy
Ayurveda is a healing art and a science. Descending from Charaka, Sushruta, and Vagbhata, it is one of apprenticeship in which the student learns from the teacher, who shares knowledge and experiences to assist the student in developing a conceptual framework and fundamental working knowledge.
The Ayurvedic Institute reflects the teaching traditions of ancient India. This tradition emphasizes the oral transmission of knowledge by being present with the teacher. It is taught, as the Vedic tradition emphasizes, with practical examples and stories, keeping the integral aspects of the body, mind, and spiritual components intact. It requires soul searching, faith, and trust without proof or guarantee. In its traditional form, the student is expected to trust the teacher to present the subjects in the manner the teacher feels are appropriate.
For each of us to develop as practitioners, experiencing this tradition and all its components helps to expand our inner awareness.
integration of Ayurveda with modern medicine, yoga, Jyotish
(Vedic astrology), other healing disciplines, and the individual
Self to bring about total health, awareness, and harmony.
is the dream of Vasant Lad and the goal of the Ayurvedic Institute
to be able to offer a complete program of Ayurvedic study.
This program would be similar in content to that taught in
the traditional Ayurvedic colleges in India.
The Ayurvedic Institute was founded in
1984 in Santa Fe, New Mexico, as a 501(c)(3) educational,
non-profit corporation. The Articles of Incorporation, By-Laws
and Board meeting minutes are open to inspection by any interested
person with sufficient advance notice. The Institute is governed
by a Board of Directors and corporate officers, whose directives
are carried out by Institute staff members.
Board Members

"Ayurveda is beyond beginning and
ending. A science of eternal healing, it is compared
to a vast ocean, and studying Ayurveda to swimming across.
A true teacher can teach one how to swim, but the swimming
is up to the student;
it is a lifelong journey."
Charaka Samhita
Chapter Thirty

Neptune calming the storm and 16th century jewellery
These two plates reproduce works from the Petit Palais belonging to the Dutuit collection. The images were obtained using the photochromy process.
In the recent catalogue Photochromie. Voyage en couleur, 1876-1914 [Photochromy. A Journey in Colour, 1876-1914], Sabine Arqué describes this complex process: " […] photochromes are mass-produced colorized lithographic proofs obtained from a black and white photographic negative […].
Léon Vidal filed a patent for the invention of the photochromy technique in 1872. Photochromies were successful, especially for reproductions of works of art. The effect is quite characteristic: the way in which the image is printed gives the impression of relief to the photograph, as well as bright colours which appealed to enthusiasts. In 1872, Léon Vidal embarked on the huge project of using photochromy to reproduce exhaustively the major works of art in French collections. The luxurious book was called Trésor artistique de la France, but never progressed beyond volume II.
Auguste Dutuit, an occasional photographer, paid close attention to the dissemination of his work and was enthusiastic about the most up-to-date techniques such as chromolithography. The works reproduced in these two plates were probably part of a much larger collection. Could they have been plates from the Trésor artistique de la France? Or plates commissioned directly by Auguste Dutuit to enhance his collection?

What's NewGet the latest news on St. Mary's Hospital »
Nursing is different at St. Mary's Hospital. We have spent over a decade creating a structure and building the skills to practice successfully in a rapidly changing healthcare environment. As nurses, we choose to shape our own future by investing in the development of a professional practice model that allows us to manage the accountabilities of our profession.
Shared governance is an accountability-based professional practice model. Within this model, accountability is understood to be the right and obligation to initiate and carry out an action and/or process. After more than 10 years of operating within a now mature shared governance structure, we know with certainty that our approach has resulted in a highly functional professional Nursing Organization working in partnership with our medical center to produce superior results.
Our commitment to shared governance means that our nurses have a voice in the decisions that affect the care they give. It means that because we have created an environment that supports professional accountability, we have very low turnover and vacancy rates, well below the national average. We do not use agency or travel nurses. There is no mandatory overtime. As a nurse at St. Mary's, you will find a friendly, supportive and professionally stimulating atmosphere in which to achieve excellent patient care.

New review from Stepdad Mag:
Definition Sickness by No Bird Sing
Written by Bruce King
Its clear that No Bird Sings approach to Hip Hop is their own. Usually rap groups consist of a single producer and multiple rappers. Its rare to see the equation so directly inverted. Additionally for all the producers to utilize guitars and drums is something of a rarity. Full band Hip Hop has tended to err on the side of jazzier infusion. With Joe Horton (vocals, occasional keys), Robert Mulrennan (guitar/production), and Graham OBrien (drums/production) NBS incorporates both modern techniques of creating robust soundscapes as well as traditional forms of percussive instrumentation. The general aesthetic is moody rhymes over etherial backgrounds. Fans of Kno (of Cunninglynguists) Death is Silent record of a few years back will be right at home.
The lead single And War is a prime example of this dreamy aesthetic. The accompanying video was something out of David Lynchs short-film catalog, and it fits the music all too well. There are variations from one track to the next, thought they all walk an interesting line between ambient and confrontational. The beat and progression on Boomday with Crescent Moon is a track that cant be described as anything less than ominous. It loosely reminds me of Ultra era Depeche Mode. The biggest departure from the records intellection is probably Breathless which they choose to lead off the record with. It almost seems to be more of beat era inspired spoken word piece which isnt quite representative of what can be expected of the rest of the record, but manages to still somehow fit.
Theres a heavy existential philosophical slant to Hortons lyrical content which grants an intellectual depth to an already complex aesthetic. What is it youre looking for? Better hope you never find it because a lion with no prey is not a lion Its clear that he spends most of his free time exploring his own reason. From the postings on the groups FB page its clear that these are not simple ideas thrown out without consideration to their meaning. They list 'Existentialism and Human Emotions' by Jean-Paul Sartre and 'Welcome to the Monkey House' by Kurt Vonnegut as books currently on their nightstand. Theres plenty to love about this record; a wealth of guest spots (Kristoff Krane, Sage Francis, Sadistik, etc.), lush production, and a chance to glance inside the mind of a clearly thoughtful individual. However the payoff here is integrated experience the music of No Bird Sing offers. Cop this and listen to it with a somber open mind.

ALARM PRESS lists "Definition Sickness" as one of the 51 favorite albums of 2013:
"No Bird Sing is the brainchild of rapper Joe Horton, guitarist Robert Mulrennan, and drummer Graham OBrien. Going from a live-band aesthetic to a more production-heavy recorded model has the potential to alienate fans, but No Bird Sings Definition Sickness is a dark pleasure. With a voice that recalls a more disillusioned Aesop Rock (if such a thing is possible), Horton raps over droning guitar and organic beats the traditional instrumentation not competing with electronic production but rising to the top.
The album will evoke different things in different listeners. You may hear heaviness, drone, ambient techno, or modern indie rock, all lovingly filtered through the lens of hip hop. Theres no telling which interpretation is correct, but the end result is a nice fourth-quarter surprise, one of the best rap albums of the year."

One rainy evening in Portland, Oregon, my husband and I were sitting on our patio with a glass of wine in hand, listening to the K. D. Lang song "Acquiesce." He turned to me and said one day we're going to have a property and we'll call it "The Acquiesce."
I replied, "Really? And what will this property be like?"
He said, "I really don't know but it will be beautiful with gorgeous views, lots of land, and a peaceful, serene feeling."
At that time, I really needed to hear this prophecy. Raised in Chicago, we were relocated by a corporate career to Michigan, Sweden, Colorado, Oregon, and Texas, all within a 15-year time frame. The thought of a permanent, tranquil property was music to my ears. So when we were fortunate enough to put down roots just outside of Lodi in Acampo, Calif. we called the 18-acre property, ranch house, 100-year old barn and zinfandel grapes, "Acquiesce."
ac•qui•esce (a-kw?-?es)–verb;
to surrender, to become quiet
During the next nine years we proceeded to make wine from our zinfandel grapes, special lots from Napa and from other Lodi vineyards. In 2008 I began working with renowned winemaking consultant Heather Pyle Lucas who had years of experience with Robert Mondavi Winery in Napa. Her self-effacing style, great teaching skills and dry sense of humor in the vineyard and the cellar helped to bring me up to speed, hone my winemaking skills and fall in love with this endeavor.
Then the stars aligned for Acquiesce! While shopping for a nice white wine, I happened upon a beautiful white Chateauneuf-du-Pape, brought it home and found it the most delicious white wine I had ever tried. After hurrying back to buy a case I found out I was holding the last bottle of this wine in all of California. I began to research how to craft this fantastic wine. Eventually I managed to source cuttings originating from the famous Chateau de Beaucastel in the Chateauneuf-du-Pape region of France for my first Grenache Blanc plantings. I was thrilled by the results! The combination of our sandy loam soil and these special cuttings produce wines that speak to me … it was like discovering the secret recipe.
This first success led us to plant more of these delicious white Rhone varietals and Acquiesce has become the mantra of our small white wine winery: we seek to submit ourselves to nature, to yield to the vineyard, to acquiesce to the grapes. It is in this way we believe we can produce wines of the best quality. We offer only premium white wines and roses which are crisp, light and brilliant. Our vines are lightly watered and the grapes are handpicked and then whole cluster pressed. The wines are left unoaked. We do this according to our view it is important for you to be able to taste the quality of the fruit.
Our tasting room opened January 2012 in our century old barn and it's been a marvelous journey! It's a delight when our guests in the tasting room love the wines just as much as we do. Our 2011 food-friendly vintage totals only 300 cases and includes our award-winning Grenache Blanc, Viognier, Roussanne, Belle Blanc (white blend) and Grenache Rose.

SAN JOSE -- When Archbishop Mitty basketball star Aaron Gordon was in grade school, he did a book report on his idol, Magic Johnson.
During his research, Gordon discovered that Johnson was a McDonald's American. It was the first time Gordon had ever heard about the honor.
Thursday, Gordon followed in his idol's footsteps as he was named to this year's McDonald's All-American team.
"That's why I'm excited," Gordon said Thursday night.
Gordon, the reigning California state player of the year, will play for the West in the McDonald's game April 3 at the United Center in Chicago.
The rosters were announced during a selection show on ESPNU.
The 6-foot-8 Gordon, one of the top recruits in the nation, led Mitty to the West Catholic Athletic League championship this season and is aiming to end his high school career with three consecutive state titles.
"I still don't expect anything less," Gordon said.
Arizona, Kentucky, Oregon and Washington are on Gordon's list of potential college destinations, but he isn't ready to make his decision.
"I'm just trying to focus on high school," Gordon said.
Next up for Gordon and his Mitty teammates: A date Friday night against Archbishop Riordan in the West Catholic Athletic League tournament semifinals.

The Michigan Capitol is shown at twilight Thursday, Sept. 24, 2009, in Lansing, Mich. Lawmakers continue work on budget bills that deal with a $2.8 billion shortfall before an Oct. 1 deadline. (AP Photo/Al Goldis)
LANSING, Mich. (AP) -- One of four Republican state senators who voted against their party leaders' push to make Michigan a right-to-work state says he objects to the rush to pass the legislation.
Sen. Tory Rocca of Sterling Heights says "legislators should actually read the legislation" they vote on. He said that lawmakers did not get to see the bill until minutes before the voting started Thursday.
The state Senate and House held no hearings before passing the bill, which bars unions from collecting mandatory fees from nonmembers they represent under collective bargaining agreements. Republican Gov. Rick Snyder supports the legislation.
Other Republican senators voting no were Tom Casperson of Escanaba, Mike Green of Mayville and Mike Nofs of Battle Creek.
All Democrats votes no, and the final vote was 22-16 in favor.

Fixed Mobile Convergence Requires Investment
Fixed mobile convergence refers to the ability of telecommunications companies to provide their subscribers with services that interact with and use both the fixed networks of incumbent wireline and/or cable operators and the mobile/cellular networks of mobile operators.
For subscribers, fixed mobile convergence offers simplicity: They can access the data, voice, or video services and information they want without concern for how the service is actually delivered and with the trust that they will be charged accurately.
Fixed Mobile Convergence: Challenge and Opportunity
Telecommunications companies inherit the complexity of fixed mobile convergence: This new business model is difficult to advance and requires that operators invest in and modify their network infrastructures. The Cisco IP Next-Generation Network (IP NGN) architecture can help your company deploy services that can generate new revenue as quickly as possible while cost-effectively migrating to a converged network.

Warriors guard Stephen Curry was named to the All-NBA second team Wednesday, marking the first All-NBA selection of his career.
Curry had the most votes of any player on the second team and barely missed out joining the first team that consisted of Houston's James Harden, the Los Angeles Clippers' Chris Paul, Oklahoma City's Kevin Durant, Miami's LeBron James and Chicago's Joakim Noah.
Curry was joined on the second team by the Clippers' Blake Griffin, Minnesota's Kevin Love, Houston's Dwight Howard and San Antonio's Tony Parker.
Curry, 26, appeared on 123 of the 125 ballots, receiving 65 first-team votes, 53 second-team votes and five third-team votes from the panel of sports writers and broadcasters. New Warriors coach Steve Kerr, the former TNT broadcaster, was among those to give Curry a second-team vote.
Curry's fifth season in the NBA was highlighted by being voted in as a starter in the All-Star Game in a season. He led the NBA with 261 made 3-pointers and averaged career highs of 24 points and 8.5 assists.
The Warriors, after seeing David Lee make the All-NBA third team last season, have their first All-NBA players in consecutive seasons since Tim Hardaway won recognition in 1992-93 and Latrell Sprewell made the first team in 1993-94.

Game of Thrones is a site for the HBO-series based on George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire.
New to the series? Read our spoiler-free review of A Game of Thrones.
Read our Privacy Policy.
For the Swedish fans out there, SVT will begin airing the first season of Game of Thrones on February 22nd… and, coolest of all, they're following the tack of Sky Atlantic's Thronecast—and one upping it, because they're doing something that, so far as I know, they've never done before: they'll be airing an after show half an hour after each episode ends (and just five minutes afterward on the SVT Play streaming service). This should be good fun.
Among the presenters? Radio presenter and writer Johanna Koljonen, who revealed her fandom for the show last year when she helped arrange the Nalen TV Club's Game of Thrones-themed party>.
The Westeros network consists of several different sites, including a forum and a wiki, for all your A Song of Ice and Fire needs.
