A day in the vineyard
Marcia Gagliardi,
The Tablehopper
San Francisco food writer Marcia Gagliardi is known for her "Tablehopper's Guide to Dining and Drinking in San Francisco" (Ten Speed Press, 2010), a restaurant guide that pairs occasions -- first dates, dinner with the in-laws, drinks with girlfriends -- with the perfect eatery. It's an approach that inspired this day-among-the-vines itinerary, which Gagliardi says she would take with "a food- and wine-loving beau" for a third date or "a girls' getaway to escape San Francisco's fog for a real Indian summer or early fall day."
Ridge Vineyards: Start at Ridge to sample the lovely wines and check out the views. "It's all about the Monte Bello Bordeaux blend," Gagliardi says.

David Bruce Winery: This Los Gatos winery is the place to sample pinot noir.
21439 Bear Creek Road, Los Gatos; www.davidbrucewinery.com
Lunch at Le Cigare Volant: Head down Highway 17 to Santa Cruz for a late lunch at Bonny Doon's restaurant, Le Cigare Volant, in the Swift Courtyard -- and sips of Bonny Doon wine, of course.
328 Ingalls St., Santa Cruz; www.bonnydoonvineyard.com
Java at Verve Coffee Roasters: Refuel with a cup of coffee at Gagliardi's favorite coffee roaster before finishing off your day. There are three Verve locations in Santa Cruz, and the beans are roasted in a 1965 German-made Probat UG 15 at the Seabright location.

Calera: Intrepid wine tasters might consider making a jaunt to Hollister, either the same day or another time, where Josh Jensen makes top-ranked wine in the style of the great domaines of Burgundy on the grounds of an old limekiln in the Gavilan Mountains.

GlassFish 3.1: Automatic Domain Backup
By Chris Kasso-Oracle on Feb 28, 2011
In a prior post I wrote about the commands we reintroduced in GlassFish 3.1 which allows administrators to manually backup and restore a GlassFish domain. There is more to it than that. We also introduced support for scheduled automatic backups of a domain. This new feature is only available in Oracle GlassFish Server. For those who are not familiar with Oracle GlassFish Server this is our commercial distribution of the GlassFish Server Open Source Edition. Oracle GlassFish Server is backed by support from Oracle and is distributed with GlassFish Server Control which is a collection of additional features which enhance the functionality of Oracle GlassFish Server.
Here is a short summary of how it works. It is pretty simple. You basically create a new object called a Backup Configuration (this named object describes the type of backup you want to perform). You associate the Backup Configuration with a named Schedule. Multiple Backup Configurations can exists (some enabled, some not) and they can point to the same schedule or different schedules.
The Backup Config has the following attributes:
- Name
- Schedule
- Enabled (Boolean)
- Backup Location
- Recycle Limit
- Live Backup (Boolean)
- Backup Type (Full or Config Only)
The Name is the name of the Backup Configuration and you can create as many of these as you like. Each Backup Configuration must be associated with an existing schedule. The product ships with three pre-defined schedules: daily, weekly and monthly but you can create more or modify the existing schedules. A Backup Configuration is enabled by default but you can change the Enabled attribute to temporarily turn off a scheduled backup. If you do not specify a backup location the backups (in the form of zip files) are maintained in the domain directory (backups subdirectory). The recycle limit allows you to control the number of prior backups to maintain. The default is 25. When that number is reached older backups are deleted as new ones are added. The live backup option allows the backup to be performed on the DAS without suspending it (more on that in a future posting). Finally you can control whether a full backup is performed, which is the entire domain directory (sans existing backup files), or just the domain's configuration.
A good practice might be to perform a full backup of the domain once or twice a month and perform configuration only backups daily.
Here's a quick example using the asadmin CLI to create these two automatic backups. You can also perform the same operation using the GlassFish Console which I will demonstrate in a different blog entry.
First I'll list the existing schedules:
% asadmin list-schedules --long NAME SECOND MINUTE HOUR DAY OF WEEK DAY OF MONTH MONTH YEAR daily 0 0 0 \* \* \* \* weekly 0 0 0 Sun \* \* \* monthly 0 0 0 \* 1 \* \* Command list-schedules executed successfully.
So as you can see there are three existing schedules. The daily schedule defines an event which occurs every day at midnight. The weekly defines an event to occur every Sunday at midnight and the monthly schedule defines an event to occur on the first day of the month also at midnight.
I'll create a new backup config to perform our monthly full backup of the domain directory:
% asadmin create-backup-config --schedule monthly --backupdir /tmp/das-backups --recyclelimit 12 d1-full Command create-backup-config executed successfully.
The above command creates a backup config which is associated with the monthly schedule. The backups which are created are stored in /tmp/das-backups and I'm using the recyclelimt option to control the number of backups I will maintain (twelve in this case).
The next command:
% asadmin create-backup-config --schedule daily --backupdir /tmp/das-backups --recyclelimit 30 --configonly d1-config Command create-backup-config executed successfully
creates another backup config which kicks off a backup daily. This backup config will only backup the contents of the config directory for the domain. Since this backup config is associated with the daily schedule the backup will occur every day.
It is worth noting that multiple backup configs can reference the same schedule. They will both get executed at the same time although the order in which they will be executed is not defined.
If you want to see the details of a specific backup config you can use the new list-backup-configs subcommand:
% asadmin list-backup-configs --long d1-config Name of Backup Config :d1-config Auto Backup Enabled :true Schedule :daily Recycle Limit :30 Config Only backup :true Active Backup Enabled :false Backup Directory :/tmp/das-backups Last Backup Attempt :Mon Feb 28 14:05:55 PST 2011 Last Successful Backup :Mon Feb 28 14:05:55 PST 2011 Schedule Details: NAME SECOND MINUTE HOUR DAY OF WEEK DAY OF MONTH MONTH YEAR daily 0 0 0 \* \* \* \* Command list-backup-configs executed successfully.
The backups will be performed as long as the Domain Administration Server (DAS) is running. When the event is scheduled to occur the DAS will suspend the domain temporarily. When the domain is suspended any command which would cause the DAS to modify the domain directory is blocked (other commands such as list-clusters are allowed). This allows the backup to be safely performed. Once complete the DAS is resumed so that all operations are allowed.
You can use the list-backups command to list available backups. In this example I'll look at the backups available in the /tmp/backups directory:
% asadmin list-backups --backupdir /tmp/das-backups CONFIG USER BACKUP DATE FILENAME d1-config kasso Thu Feb 24 00:00:00 PST 2011 domain1_2011_02_24_v00005.zip d1-config kasso Fri Feb 25 00:00:00 PST 2011 domain1_2011_02_25_v00006.zip d1-config kasso Sat Feb 26 00:00:00 PST 2011 domain1_2011_02_26_v00007.zip d1-config kasso Sun Feb 27 00:00:00 PST 2011 domain1_2011_02_27_v00008.zip d1-config kasso Mon Feb 28 00:00:02 PST 2011 domain1_2011_02_28_v00009.zip d1-full kasso Wed Feb 23 10:49:47 PST 2011 domain1_2011_02_23_v00001.zip Command list-backups executed successfully.
If you wanted to restore the lastest backup of the domain you would stop the domain and then use the restore-domain command:
% asadmin stop-domain Waiting for the domain to stop ...... Command stop-domain executed successfully. % asadmin restore-domain --backupdir /tmp/das-backups --backupconfig d1-full domain1 Restored the domain (domain1) to /work/ogs/glassfish3/glassfish/domains/domain1 Command restore-domain executed successfully.
This replaces the contents of the domain directory with the contents of the full backup of the domain.
For additional details about creating backup configurations and schedules see the Oracle GlassFish Server 3.1 Administration Guide.

BERKELEY -- Haas Pavilion will receive $10 million in improvements, including a center-hung scoreboard, to be completed by the fall of 2015, the athletic department announced Monday.
The renovation, made possible through a gift from the Evelyn and Walter Haas Jr. Fund, will also provide upgraded sound and lighting systems and modernized video production facilities.
Construction is expected to begin in May.
Originally opened as Harmon Gym in 1933, the arena was renamed Haas Pavilion in 1999 after a two-year renovation that boosted the capacity to 11,877. Walter A. Haas Jr. and his wife, Evelyn, provided the lead gift that allowed the reconstruction in the late 1990s.
"We're extremely pleased to help Cal Athletics ensure that Haas Pavilion continues to be a well-equipped and dynamic venue for student-athletes, their coaches and passionate Bear fans," Walter J. Haas, Chair of the Haas Jr. Fund, said. "My father was a devoted Cal alum, and he believed in the power of sports to galvanize not only a team but the entire community. This gift embodies his legacy."
Haas Pavilion is the home venue for five of Cal's sports programs -- men's and women's basketball, women's volleyball and men's and women's gymnastics. In addition, it houses training facilities, offices and locker rooms for 10 intercollegiate athletics teams, as well as most of the athletic department's administrative offices.

Stocks to Watch: Molycorp, Eli Lilly, DuPont
By Anna Prior
Among the companies with shares expected to actively trade in Wednesday's session are Molycorp (MCP) Eli Lilly & Co. (LLY) and DuPont (DD).
Molycorp's board ousted President and Chief Executive Mark Smith, who led the rare-earth mining company for more than five years, a period in which it debuted on the public market and underwent a costly facility upgrade. Shares were down 6.8% to $10.56 premarket.
DuPont authorized a repurchase program for $1 billion of its shares as the diversified U.S. manufacturer looks to boost shareholder value. The company also said it expects 2012 earnings at the high end of its prior view and said it expects solid earnings growth in all of its segments, except for performance chemicals, in 2013. Shares were up 3% to $45 premarket.
Lilly said it plans to conduct another late-stage study of its potential treatment for patients with mild Alzheimer's disease following discussions with regulators in the U.S., Europe and Canada. Though Lilly has said its drug appeared to slow cognitive decline–but only in patients with mild forms of the disease–regulators apparently want more proof. Shares drop 4.1% to $48.55 premarket.
Health insurer Aetna (AET) projected it will increase both revenue and profit next year as it digests a big acquisition and gears up for major changes under the U.S. health-care overhaul law. Shares gained 1.2% to $45 premarket.
Sucampo Pharmaceuticals (SCMP) supplemental new drug application for its treatment to lower intraocular pressure in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension received approval for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Shares popped 14% to $5.66 in recent premarket trading.
Northstar Realty Finance (NRF) launched an offering of 25 million shares, intending to use the proceeds to make business-related investments, repurchase or pay its liabilities or for other purposes. The real-estate-investment trust recently had roughly 134.8 million shares outstanding. Shares were off 4.4% premarket at $6.35.
Sensata Technologies Holding (ST) said certain shareholders, including an investment company controlled by Bain Capital that has a majority stake in the company, are offering 10 million shares. Sensata Technologies, which recently had around 178 million shares outstanding, won't receive any proceeds from the offering. Shares fell 2% to $29.85 premarket.
Cobalt International Energy (CIE) announced it commenced a public offering of $1.2 billion of convertible senior notes. The company plans to use proceeds from the sale of the notes to fund its capital expenditures and for general corporate purposes. The company recently had a market cap of $11.3 billion, according to FactSet. Shares fell 11% to $24.43 premarket.
Charles River Laboratories International (CRL) provided 2013 earnings guidance below Wall Street expectations and now expects its 2012 per-share earnings to come in between the low end and the midpoint of its previously estimated range. Shares of the drug-research services provider fell 3.5% to $37.91 in light premarket trading.
Facebook (FB) joins the Nasdaq-100 Index at the start of trading Wednesday, a move accelerated by the departure of Infosys (INFY), which is moving to the New York Stock Exchange. Shares rose 0.2% to $28.03 in premarket trading.

Excellent motherboard for older LGA775 processorsMy 4 year old DELL Inspiron 530 desktop has been giving us very good service for the first two years.

Excellent compatibility....It is very compact and easily installable.I replaced my old intel-d101ggc(which was ddr) myself by this mobo.works great with intel pentium 4-631(cedarmill/2mb cache/3ghz/fsb800mhz).Bought this mobo along with transcend 4gb ddr3.This mobo contains intel gma x4500 1gb onboard graphics(pretty good,supports directx 10,shader 4)but don't mind gamers this is absolutely NOT FOR GAMING,ok for hd movies,3d modelling & rendering.

No Monta, no me at Warriors media day. OK, it's not quite that simple, but oops, that's how it worked out.
Today marks the first GSW media day without Monta Ellis on the team since 2004, and I won't be there, either -- me, mostly due to the A's potential clincher tonight, but still.
(I worded that sentence carefully for a reason: Ellis was on the team for 2008 media day, but I don't believe he was anywhere near the media in October while recovering from his off-season scooter accident. So he was not present but still obviously the biggest story and controversy. Fairly symbolic of the Monta Era.)
But there's also a new Warriors truth in 2012: Without Monta around, there just doesn't seem to be a loud and demanding story early in this camp, which is generally good news for any team.
During Ellis' rambunctious time here, the Warriors just never seemed settled -- it wasn't all Monta's fault, it was just the way things get when you build so much hype and hope around a smallish, ball-dominating, impetuous, strong-willed, popular player.
It was hard to build a team around Ellis, and the Warriors proved how hard it could be year after year after year. The basketball was entertaining but weird, the defense was non-existent, and tensions were always ramped up, starting in early October, usually.
Add Don Nelson, Baron Davis and Stephen Jackson to that mix and... it was never quiet around the Warriors, especially on media day.
All of those guys are gone now. Mostly, Monta is gone, and so the tension is gone, too. Great player. Made things tense.
So rather logically, from what I can foresee, there's probably not much essential coming from the players other than ankle updates from Andrew Bogut and Stephen Curry and a contract talk update from Curry.
Of course, we've sort of gotten those health updates and they really won't count for much until we see Bogut and Curry practicing or playing at full-speed, and Mark Jackson hasn't let the media anywhere near a real moment of practice since he got here, anyway. So that's out the window.
Otherwise, I'm not expecting too much news out of Warriors camp, unless Andris Biedrins wants to respond angrily to Jackson's blunt comments last week; I doubt that will happen and Biedrins' status is so low now anyway, that it will hardly matter much even if he does.
So it's Curry and Bogut and neither story seems likely to move forward (or backward) until late-October, when the season is set to start. Again, it's not like the old days when you never knew what you might get from Ellis, SJax, Baron or Nelson. Or even Dunleavy, Richardson, Dampier or Jamison.
It's Curry and Bogut. They're not impetuous guys in any way.
And (pending re-injury) there's probably not to much happening with either of them right until the hours before the Warriors' season-opener in Phoenix on Oct. 31, and here's why:
1) The biggest off-the-court story is the state of Curry's extension talks with the Warriors -- the deadline to sign is Oct. 31, and the talks almost certainly will creep very close to that deadline, as most of these do.
The Warriors want to see Curry remain healthy through camp and into the exhibition season before getting into the final negotiations for a deal that almost certainly would be worth $40-45M (if he's healthy) and Curry will want to prove how healthy he is in order to cash out to the highest degree.
No hard news until Oct. 30 at the earliest on this one, I'd think.
2) It's looking like Bogut will play at most 1 or 2 exhibition games (late-October) but maybe none at all, so it could come down to the wire whether he's ready to go Oct. 31 in Phoenix.
Do the math: Bogut may not participate fully in training camp at all, then the exhibitions begin this Sunday. The Warriors play eight exhibitions, the last coming Oct. 23 at Oracle. I'm not sure Bogut can get up to 100% by then.
So it'll be touch-and-go for Oct. 31 -- Bogut and the Warriors say they are wisely not putting any extra significance on making it back for the opener.
I don't want to go overboard, either. It's just one game. But it will be interesting to see if he gets back for it.
3) Other than the Two Ankles, the Warriors' main on-court storyline is the battle for the starting small forward spot, but again, no media access to practice so there's no clear way to judge this one until the exhibitions starts.
Jackson might give us hints about his mindset before Oct. 31 but probably won't make a final call until then and I would expect much of the decision will be determined by the chemistry and play during exhibition season.
The candidates: Harrison Barnes, Richard Jefferson, Brandon Rush and maybe Kent Bazemore and Draymond Green.
Summary: There are plenty of interesting subplots and stories in this Warriors camp, but no major drama. Fans and media will want to get to know Barnes, Green, Jarrett Jack, Carl Landry, Festus Ezeli... and see whether Biedrins can resurrect his career.
But that's the not the big stuff. Unless something crazy happens between now and Oct. 30, the next 30 days are going to be a quiet Warriors time while the Giants and A's go into the postseason, the 49ers and Raiders do the NFL thing and many other things happen.
Then Oct. 30-31 will come, and the Warriors will be dramatic again, either good or bad, as they always are.

My research interests utilize functional genomic approaches to dissect complex traits in plants, specifically maize, wheat and Arabidopsis. We exploit the natural diversity of these plant genomes to identify the individual nucleotides responsible for quantitative variation. Through collaborations we apply this research to maize breeding. Currently, our research focuses on three main areas:
1. Maize Diversity-Based Genomics.
Dr. Buckler's research has focused on the mechanisms controlling diversity in maize and its wild relatives. More recently, his group has developed methods to use maize diversity to map at very high resolutions (association mapping). Currently, his group is developing large scale mapping populations to dissect numerous traits to the gene level.

pico -w would turn such
undesirable behavior off, and
alias pico="pico -w "
became part of my .bashrc everywhere.
However, I felt mildly ashamed of pico. All the Unix books said I should learn how to use vi, so I did. vi was fun, too - vim, especially. I had my funky one-line ex commands, like :s%/foo/bar/g. I could go to any line with :linenumber. I regularly used :! to invoke shell commands. I liked the way it syntax-colored practically all the files I edited - even the more obscure ones - and I was even thinking of writing my own syntax files for the things it didn't handle yet.
I suppose it was sheer curiosity that made me try out Emacs. Emacs was an intellectual challenge. I found myself attracted to its intimidating complexity. I wanted to see if I could get the hang of it.
Emacs was surprisingly easy to use. I read through the tutorial. I even browsed through the info node in my spare time. I used the menu bar and the tool bar until I learned the different shortcuts and extended commands. It was pretty cool.
Then one summer, I opened the Emacs LISP intro manual. I got hooked. I started reading Emacs source code. I traced through functions. I wrote my own. I did more and more stuff in Emacs and I realized how much I had missed by using other editors.
Emacs is cool. =)

Even though they may not quite be ready for prime time, the growing family of humble parking apps for smartphones is destined to do great things for all of us in these increasingly parking-challenged times.
Sure, they've got their share of glitches, like software breakdowns that can result in a big fat parking ticket when you get back to your car. And yes, they've not yet been deployed in enough locations to truly become a dependable tool when we need them the most.
But parking apps like Parkmobile, which you can use to quickly pay for street parking in scattered cities around the Bay Area, and Santa Monica-based ParkMe, which helps you find and even reserve spots in lots and garages in San Jose, are clearly the wave of the future. More and more municipalities are installing Web-enabled meters. Others are providing their meter readers with handheld devices, allowing them to check the "cloud" to see if a car's legally parked.
"Parking is emerging as a huge mobile-commerce business,'' says Tina Dyer, spokeswoman for Atlanta-based Parkmobile. "And with car manufacturers introducing more and more Internet-equipped 'connected vehicles,' your cellphone will be synced to your dashboard and you'll be able to pay for parking by only using your voice.''
We drove around the Bay Area to test-park a few of the apps out there. While we used an iPhone, most are also available on Android devices. The big take-away: there simply isn't enough of this great technology at work, even here in tech-savvy Bay Area.
Making good on its slogan "Parking Made Simple,'' this app helps you find parking and feed your meter in Oakland, Sausalito and other cities. It's a snap: you pull up to a meter marked with the Parkmobile sign; call up your app, which already has the credit card and vehicle information you'd registered; punch in the meter's Parkmobile locator number; choose the time you want, and you're done.
The app gives you a heads-up via text when your meter's about to expire, a great feature when you're stuck in your doctor's office four blocks from your car. You can then extend your time, virtually feeding your meter from the waiting room.
It's not perfect, though, as Palo Alto publicist Carissa Ashman found out when she used Parkmobile near Oakland's Jack London Square, only to find a ticket when she returned to her car. She had tried to download the app while rushing to a business meeting and thinks some of her information was garbled. "Unfortunately, it didn't process my credit card number properly so even though I thought I'd paid for parking, I really hadn't.''
Despite the $68 ticket, Ashman says Parkmobile has worked wonderfully for her since she entered the correct data. "It's really nice to be able to add more time, even though you're not anywhere near the meter,'' she said
Parkmobile, which started in 2008 and has expanded to 35 states, is chock-full of cool features, including an interactive map to help you find meters and even EV charging stations, a handy history of your past parking sessions and a "Find My Car" tool lets your pin your location on the map.
You're late for a concert in downtown San Jose and don't have time to hunt for a spot. You fire up the ParkMe app and -- voilà! -- you've immediately got the lay of the land, with icons showing lots and garages nearby. The icons are color coded, making it easy to quickly locate the least, middle and most expensive hourly rates.
Tap on the Second & Carlos Street structure and everything you could possibly want to know about this place is at your fingertips -- hourly, evening and weekend rates, validation specials from the Tech Museum and theaters, hours of operation, even Zipcar availability.
Another button lets you lock in a parking place in advance, which you can also do on ParkMe's website. Tap on Ten Almaden Parking Facility and then Reserve a Spot. After you arrive, each 15 minutes will run you $1.25. You enter your arrival and departure times, say, for later in the evening, and you're set. When you leave, the attendant will confirm your payment on his computer and buzz you through.
"Love using this parking garage for the Sharks games,'' one user wrote on the website. "Close to SAP, covered parking, safe, and friendly staff!''
This app, which is widely available in traffic-clogged cities from San Francisco to Paris, is similar to Parkmobile, though I found its user interface a bit less intuitive. While Parkmobile's map shows you available parking places, PayByPhone's map was, well, just a map. I pulled up to a marked meter on San Francisco's Van Ness Avenue, punched in the 8-digit location number and entered 30 minutes. At that point, the app asked me for the security code on my registered credit card, an annoying extra step that made little sense, especially because Parkmobile didn't require me to jump through the same hoop. PayByPhone spokesman Chris Morisawa said it was added at the request of San Francisco officials, and that it's not required at all of Parkmobile's meters in other cities.
Driving around the East Bay, I tested ParkNow, whose logo reads "Carry Your Parking Spot With You.'' Call up the app and several blue markers pop up to reveal parking options from Monterey (the box features a sea otter) to Oakland (yup, an oak leaf) and even the airports of that city and its cross-bay neighbor.
I click on a smaller blue box with $10 in it and up pops Propark Webster, and I click Confirm Now to lock in a spot for the next three hours. Promising to make the parking "fun, easy and hassle-free,'' ParkNow also offers users bonuses, including parking discounts, special coupons, and even carwashes.

parking apps
Here are some of the apps we reviewed:
Parkmobile: The app helps users find and pay for on- and off-street parking in 400 cities around the world, including several in the Bay Area.
ParkMe: Santa Monica-based provider of parking information and reservations, allows motorists to locate parking places in more than 30,000 worldwide locations, including San Jose and other nearby municipalities.
PayByPhone: The Vancouver-based company claims to be North America's leading provider of mobile payments in the parking industry, and its app helps track down parking spots in over 180 cities that include London, Miami, San Francisco and Paris.
ParkNow: San Francisco-based startup lets drivers in and around San Francisco book parking places in advance, online or with the mobile app.

(WOMENSENEWS)--Three drugstore purchased tests had proved it without a doubt. I was pregnant. Sitting on the toilet, looking at the tests lined up side by side on the tub, it was a typically cool and foggy summer day near the beach in San Francisco. I stared at the tests and saw my future as a mother.
It wasn't until later, when the guy brought it up, that abortion became an option. Even then, when I knew we wouldn't be together forever and faced that parenting would be mine to handle alone, I could better imagine myself as a struggling single mother before I could picture myself as a person who had an abortion.
It was just a few days after I took the pregnancy tests that I revealed my secret to Polly. Polly has more tattoos now than she did back then, but her natural charisma was as strong as ever. It was past 2:00 a.m. when we'd finished counting our tips and closing the downtown Berkeley bar where we worked. I declined our customary end-of-shift drink and told her why: "I'm not drinking because I'm pregnant. I don't know what I'm going to do yet." I don't know what I thought she'd say or how I'd hope she'd help. But, I'll never forget what she revealed: Without hesitation, she said, "I've had an abortion."
Everything changed in an instant. I remember how that moment felt to this day. It was like a veil had been lifted and I finally saw the world as it truly was, behind all the secrets. I saw how much I didn't know about other people's lives, the challenges they face, the choices they make.
Strange Secret
And, I thought of my own life. Here I was working all night behind the bar, making jokes, keeping things light when I felt anything but, and wondering, can they tell I'm pregnant? Did these customers, our regulars, know that I was different than I was last week? Did they know I had a secret? Could they tell I was in pain and dealing with the hardest decision of my life?
It's strange to have something so potentially life changing happen and not feel like you can talk about it with anyone else. I'd soloed my first airplane when I was 16, had driven by myself from Alaska to California (over 3,000 miles in 10 days) at age 20 and had been the only woman selling bikes and skis with the guys at a Berkeley action-sports store just the year before, but this was the first time I'd ever felt truly alone. I was 24 and I felt heavy with the weight of the choice.
Polly's admission was a revelation. The old saying that you can't judge a person until you walk a mile in their shoes came alive. It would become my credo, shaping my future leadership. But that night at the bar it was exactly what I needed to hear. Polly gave me a gift in the knowledge that I was not alone in my experience.
Others had been through this too. Polly taught me that abortion is something that we can talk about. I realized then that there were probably many more women who'd had abortions than I'd ever considered. Much later, I would look at the facts and find out that nearly half of all women in America would have an abortion and that worldwide the average was even higher at one abortion per woman.
A Big Decision
Soon after talking with Polly, I had an abortion. I wouldn't let the guy come with me. We were still talking, barely, but I was starting the next phase of my life and he wasn't going to be a part of it. I asked my friend Heather to go with me. I told her that I might back out at the last minute, unable to go through with it. I said this remembering a beautiful surfer girl from high school who had told me one day while we were out in the waves off San Clemente that she was alive because her pregnant mother had walked out of an abortion clinic.
I didn't walk out and no miraculous spontaneous miscarriage occurred. I went through with the abortion just like so many women before and after me have done.
Not long after that, I founded Exhale, an after-abortion talkline where women share their stories. At Exhale I have seen again and again that sharing and listening without judgment to stories that had previously been secret can bring women together, create new relationships and strengthen existing ones. At Exhale, we call this storytelling approach "pro-voice."
Through my work, I hear stories of relief and regret, grief and happiness, and more. All of those stories are as real, complex and human as my story, and together they illustrate a community of women who have had abortions. I believe that these women's real stories and voices are what can reshape public discussion about abortion.
When the voices and stories of women who have had abortions, along with the stories of our loved ones affected by abortion, are at the center of the public discourse and political decision-making around abortion, I believe we have the potential to transform the political debate from one of heated talking points to one of understanding. I believe we can usher in a new era of peace around the subject of abortion.
Aspen Baker is the leading voice in the nation on the personal experiences of abortion among women and men. She is the founder and executive director of Exhale, an award-winning pro-voice organization changing the social climate around abortion. The works in the compilation, "Nothing but the Truth So Help Me God," are authored by members of A Band of Wives, a private social network for all women: married, single and everything in-between. It was founded in 2009 by Christine Bronstein as a private place for women to connect, flex their voices and support one another in unique and powerful ways.

Make mixes from the music you already have then publish back to iTunes/iPod or onto the web.
MixTape is a simple, beautiful and easy to learn application for making beat matched mixes.
By simply drag dropping the music you already have in iTunes (or from the finder), MixTape adds detected tempo and beats. Tracks are then dragged onto a workspace where they now "snap to grid" along their beats and play in sync. Emphasised markers show where musical phrases start and a simple envelope adds that all important final polish to your mixes. MixTape Pro adds a "HiLo" control, dropping the bass or treble for cleaner mixes; A "live" UI where you can hear what is under the playhead at all times and a spectrogram visualises beats and phrases with better clarity then traditional waveform displays.
Mixes can then be exported at a configurable bitrate back into iTunes to play on your Mac, iPod or iPhone; or published directly onto the web with no additional accounts, services or software.
MixTape Pro adds the ability to play your mixes live through a second audio interface. The live stream will also emit midi so lighting or VJ rigs can be kept in sync with the music as it is played. Pro can use a 'night' colour scheme to reduce glare when playing in dark environments.
Far simpler than either an audio workstation or a DJ app, MixTape embraces the Mac aesthetic to blend in perfectly with your desktop. Finally a short series of video tutorials emphasise 'show' over 'tell' and creative commons licensed demo mixes both show what can be done and how.

20 years ago when I started out djing with a pari of Technics, I though/hoped/dreamt one day there would be some software where you could pretty simply drag and drop songs into a mix - This is mixtape!
There are lots of mixing apps out there but they all have bizzare interfaces. The capability and interface of mixtape makes it by far the best mixing app for OSX. 10/10

text: At the Goldman Sachs annual meeting on Friday, I had an unplanned exchange with CEO Lloyd Blankfein about Goldman's support of Jesse Jackson, who was at the meeting and kept popping up to speak. Jackson was acting adversarial toward Blankfein, even though Goldman Sachs is one of Jackson's largest financial supporters.In hopes of ending this charade, I asked Blankfein to clarify the relationship between Goldman and Jackson as that of donor and recipient. Blankfein said he didn't know if Goldman supported Jackson. I challenged him by asking, "You do not know?" and "You give Jackson's group six-figure sums and you don't know about it?" Blankfein continued to play dumb, so I moved on to address our resolution asking for a report on the science behind Goldman's embrace of global warming.Of course, Blankfein is not dumb, just dishonest.

A car chase with Richmond County sheriff's deputies ends with two teenagers arrested. The dash cam video just released captures the whole chase on tape. News 12 shows you what happens in video you will only see on News 12.
The Richmond County Sheriff's Office says two teenagers asked David Firmin for a ride early Sunday morning. Firmin agreed, but then the sixteen-year-old driver grabbed Firmin around the neck and told him to get out of the car. That's when the car chase started just after two o'clock Sunday morning.
The video shows the stolen white Honda Accord did not have the headlights on. That's the main reason why deputies turned on their blue lights. But, that quickly turned into a car chase that ended in two teenagers arrests.
When exiting Gilbert Manor, they took a right onto R.A. Dent Boulevard. You can see the sixteen-year-old driver stopping for red lights and stop signs, trying to avoid attention. With the lights still red, he turns onto Jackson Road trying to avoid hitting anyone in the process.
Another deputy passes him trying to slow the sixteen-year-old driver down, but it doesn't work. Up ahead you can see the roadblock deputies set up. But, the teenager finds a way to bypass it.
He is now driving on Wrightsboro Road in the middle lane. But, he sees a deputy with his lights on up ahead at the VA hospital. So, he brakes hard and makes a left on Schley Street. That's when he hits the parked car where you can see the bumper fall off.
As he continues down Schley Street he brakes hard to make a right turn and that's when the sparks start flying. When he attempts to make another left, he runs off the road, but regains control of the car. He winds up on Peach Orchard Road where you can see deputies have him cornered as they approach the car.
Because of the way the car was positioned, you could not see the arrest. Deputies tell News 12 he was taken out of the car and pushed to the ground.
The sixteen-year-old was charged with hit and run, robbery by force and having no license. He was taken to the Augusta Youth Development campus. The fourteen-year-old was charged with theft by taking a motor vehicle and was released to her parents. Because of their ages, their names won't be released.

A hard-nosed boss and his talented but undisciplined employee, partners who are polar opposites, the nerdy guy who pines for a woman out of his league, the sarcastic assistant, the tough girl who is secretly nice—all these characters should be familiar to you because versions of them show up in countless TV comedies. It's not that writers are unoriginal. Rather, these characters are a sort of shorthand in storytelling, a way to immediately communicate a recognizable idea. A comedy loses its way when these characters are so exaggerated that they turn into cliches and become distractions. I'm happy to report that despite having all of the above characters in one form or another, Fox's new cop comedy �Brooklyn Nine-Nine,� avoids this pitfall, making it one of the most promising shows on the Fall schedule.
Andy Samberg (�Saturday Night Live�) plays Detective Jake Peralta, an easy-going member of Brooklyn's 99th precinct whose talent at solving crime has allowed him to get away with playing the class clown at work. When the 99th gets a new boss in the form of no-nonsense Captain Ray Holt (Andre Braugher), Jake has to try and curb his fun-loving approach to police work. This is good news for Jake's partner, Detective Amy Santiago (Melissa Fumero). Jake and Amy's relationship is the buddy cop part of the show and like all buddy cop characters, they are polar opposites of one another�in this case ambitious versus care free. Amy is also the straight (wo)man to Jake's funny man. But �Brooklyn Nine-Nine� is not only a buddy cop show. It's also a workplace comedy which gives the talented ensemble cast a chance to step out of Samberg's shadow.
Joe Lo Truglio plays the clumsy but hardworking Detective Charles Boyle whose romantic interest in the tough but secretly sensitive Detective Rosa Diaz (Stephanie Beatriz) is sweet and funny. Chelsea Peretti is civilian administrator Gina Linetti whose deadpan delivery breathes new life into the �sassy assistant� character while Terry Crews' Sergeant Terry Jeffords is the emotionally fragile strong man who longs for a desk job since becoming a father to twin girls named �Cagney and Lacey.� (Also watch out for Fred Armisen's brilliant cameo in the Pilot).
But it's Andre Braugher as Captain Holt who brings the cast together. While his character is the traditional figure of authority, the writers develop it with an interesting twist. They also give him some funny lines that allow his gravitas-filled vocal delivery to have a playful edge.
�Brooklyn Nine Nine� is from the people behind �Parks and Recreation� and if you watch that show you will notice a similar sensibility. But if you don't or you're not a fan, I would suggest you check it out anyway. Cop comedies are hard to do and this one is making it look easy.
�Brooklyn Nine Nine� premieres on Fox on Tuesday, September 17 at 8:30 p.m. EDT.

HAYWARD -- Fifty-five inches. Four and a half feet. That's how much sea level is expected to rise along Alameda County's shoreline by the end of this century, and an artist has set out to bring home what that means for us.
"We have to sidestep fear, and I think art is a way of doing that," said Jennifer Koney, who created seven large paintings for the exhibit, "55" -- Images of Sea Level Rise, Abstraction Meets Reality," at the Hayward Shoreline Interpretive Center. The exhibit opens Saturday.
The rise in the sea level is expected to cause flooding that will directly affect 80,000 East Bay residents, according to a recent study. Oakland International Airport lies along the shoreline, as do industrial areas, wastewater treatment plants and treated wastewater discharge pipes.
"You don't want that deer in the headlights look from somebody when you talk about sea level rise. You can't problem-solve if you get that response," she said.
Koney used doors as canvases for her abstract paintings of glaciers and icebergs to illustrate climate change effects. The paintings lean against a wall, each having a horizontal line at 55 inches from the ground. Behind the paintings, a blue line taped on the walls and windows marks how deep 55" of water would be for you.
"You as a viewer are going to feel the 55 inches. You are sharing the 55 inches via the horizon line," Koney said.
"I'm using art as a way of communicating difficult information when and if you're ready to receive it," she said.
In addition to using her art to illustrate climate change, Koney also is preparing for the increased sea level in her role as a recreation supervisor for the Hayward Area Park and Recreation District, which manages miles of trails, marshes and wetlands along the shoreline. She is one of several government and agency representatives working together to consider what to do. A three-year local and federal pilot project, Adapting to Rising Tides, studied the shoreline from Emeryville south to Union City, analyzing where it's vulnerable to flooding.
"Now that we have the information, what do we do with it?" Koney asked. "We have about 80 years to get ready."
The Hayward shoreline was chosen as one of two subgroups created as part of the Adapting to Rising Tides Project; the other includes Oakland International Airport and the cities of Oakland and Alameda, said Maggie Wenger of the Bay Conservation and Development Commission.
The Hayward park district is part of a group of agencies that have property or equipment along the shoreline, including the Hayward park district, East Bay Regional Park District, Hayward, sanitary districts, East Bay Dischargers Authority and the Hayward Area Shoreline Protection Agency.
"They're all working together to reduce coastal flooding. It doesn't make sense for me to build a levee if my neighbor doesn't; we need to think about the rising sea level as a whole community," Wenger said.
The art exhibit includes 29 photographs from Antarctica and Iceland by Oliver Klink, a Bay Area resident who leads photography travel expeditions around the world.¿
The park district also plans "What?! Sharks in my Backyard?," a series of community meetings beginning in February where small groups will talk about what should be the next steps.
The first meeting is at 2 p.m. Feb. 22 at the Castro Valley Library, with later ones planned in San Lorenzo and Hayward.
"This is a call to action to start planning, knowing it takes a lot of time for people to get together to plan and come up with solutions," Koney said.

About the Book
"Dan Ariely is a genius at understanding human behavior: no economist does a better job of uncovering and explaining the hidden reasons for the weird ways we act." — James Surowiecki, author of The Wisdom of Crowds
Behavioral economist and New York Times bestselling author of Predictably Irrational Dan Ariely returns to offer a much-needed take on the irrational decisions that influence our dating lives, our workplace experiences, and our temptation to cheat in any and all areas. Fans of Freakonomics, Survival of the Sickest, and Malcolm Gladwell's Blink and The Tipping Point will find many thought-provoking insights in The Upside of Irrationality.
How can large bonuses sometimes make CEOs less productive?
Why is revenge so important to us?
How can confusing directions actually help us?
Why is there a difference between what we think will make us happy and what really makes us happy?
In his groundbreaking book, Predictably Irrational, social scientist Dan Ariely revealed the multiple biases that lead us to make unwise decisions. Now, in The Upside of Irrationality, he exposes the surprising negative and positive effects irrationality can have on our lives. Focusing on our behaviors at work and in relationships, he offers new insights and eye-opening truths about what really motivates us on the job, how one unwise action can become a long-term bad habit, how we learn to love the ones we're with, and more. The Upside of Irrationality will change the way we see ourselves at work and at home—and cast our irrational behaviors in a more nuanced light.

"Eric Sirotkin is a human rights lawyer, group facilitator, coach and self-described peacemaker.
As a mediator, he says his goal is to find "the path to reconciliation and create an opportunity to heal the conflict." He conducted trial and civil rights work for three decades and has worked with the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
Sirotkin will give a free lecture titled "Truth, Reconciliation and Empathic Civilization" based on his experiences in South Africa and North and South Korea from 1 to 3 p.m. today, Feb. 6, at the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute campus.
In a process he calls "Legal Wellness," he says conflict can lead to transformation and growth.
Sirotkin moved to Ashland permanently five years ago, after spending part of his time here for 16 years, in between living in Albuquerque, N.M., and traveling for his work to India, Peru, Cuba, France, Canada, Netherlands, Japan, Vietnam and China.
He started the Ashland-based nonprofit Ubuntuworks Peace Education Project and was an adjunct professor at the University of New Mexico School of Law. He also co-wrote and produced a free speech documentary called "Committing Poetry in Times of War."

The Nike Method Putter is revolutionary with Polymetal Groove Technology that provides faster forward roll at impact for the kind of accuracy and consistency demanded by Tour professionals. This Polymetal Groove Technology has a softer polymer groove that gives way to a milled steel secondary groove, starting the ball on a controlled forward roll at impact. Putters with milled steel face, or polymer-only inserts, can require up to 30% of the total putting distance to begin a stable forward roll. A multi-material face, made of flowed-through low-durometer polymer material, dampens impact vibrations for soft touch, while the interspersed milled steel face maintains audible feedback for proper distance control. The ported Polymetal Groove Technology allows 30 grams of internal weight to be excavated from the face and body and relocated to the perimeter for higher MOI and added stability. The Method Putter grip is by Golf Pride, which incorporates the well known GolfPride feel, giving this grip a classic pistol design for optimal control and fantastic feel.

1. Social Tech Brewing: Cathy Reed and ISisters: 15:23
Cathy Reed spoke about mentoring through ISisters. She spent ten years as an educational software trainer and consultant, eventually tiring of the mobile lifestyle of eating out, of using little hotel soaps. "I woke up one morning and realized that what I was doing didn't matter to me. It was great, but I had a huge void. ... Shortly after that, ISisters was founded."
ISisters builds community centers that help women on social assistance learn how to use technology. Cathy described one Inuit woman: "Very cool to watch a grown woman send her first e-mail, and then a week later, see 12 emails from her family and friends up north whom she hadn't connected with in a long time."
She also mentioned the Canadian Advanced Technology Alliance - Women in Technology (CADA-WIT), which has just opened a Toronto chapter.
Cathy spoke about her passion for the technology and the effect that sharing this passion had on the women she taught. Through encouragement, sharing and being a positive role model, she transforms the lives of the teenage mothers, natives, and new immigrants who go through iSisters.
I'd love to help out with something like that when I'm older. That way, I can not only help people become more comfortable with technology, but also help them make the most of life.

2. Social Tech Brewing: Hong Zhu: 15:43
Hong Zhu shared some results of her research into the ways that women from non-traditional backgrounds enter the IT sector. Most of the women in the study had no children or had grown-up children. On average, women earned only 85% of the salary of men doing comparable work.
She spoke of the need to encourage more women to go into math- and science-intensive programs in education because women usually lack this background in high school and college, which makes it harder for them to get into IT.
Hong described a few of the challenges women deal with at work. Even among women who have prepared well, many of them don't feel comfortable in the "boys' club." Traditional IT men tend to compete to be "as incomprehensible as possible." Another challenge facing women and technology is the balance between family and work. If they get into a high-speed track, they can find it hard to keep that balance. Hong shared an interesting observation: women often find that the long hours aren't really necessary, but men enjoy lingering around the workplace. Women also struggle with different standards for success. While men are expected to be good providers, the modern woman is expected to be both a good careerwoman and a good wife.
She recommended more women-friendly curricula that provide stronger technical backgrounds and, more importantly, promote gender equity.

3. Social Tech Brewing: Leesa Barnes: 15:58
Leesa Barnes asked us to reflect on the day(s) that we almost quit technology. She shared her experience in 2004 at the last full-time job she ever had. "Never again," she said.
She quit because her job had challenged her integrity. "For five years I worked at a technology company, working on a piece of software that was crap. And we all knew it. And we worked with our clients, with this piece of software, everyone fully knowing that it was a piece of crap. Yet we still had to implement it, put on a brave face, and once it went live... disappear."
Oftentimes, our work challenges our integrity. That's one of the barriers we face as women in technology. Not just crude jokes and administrative tasks, and everyday situations where our integrity is challenged. That's why Leesa considered quitting technology altogether.
Leesa also called attention to how horrible a job women do supporting each other. Five women in a team of 200, and they didn't even feel comfortable having lunch with each other for fear that their managers would misconstrue it.
She fell in love with technology again when she discovered podcasting, and has been passionate about it ever since. She's chosen not to focus on the negative stuff that she encounters in the industry, and instead has chosen to surround herself with positive experiences and individuals. That's her strategy, and it's worked really well so far.
Leesa ended her speech with a call to support each other and to look at solutions instead of just focusing on problems. And she's right: a positive outlook breeds positive outcomes!

4. Social Tech Brewing: Sticky stickers: 16:06
I love wearing quirky little things like that. It gives people a whatzit and invites them to talk to me. I've had random conversations with people because of the Tux penguin pin, for example.
Stuff like that helps me establish myself as a geek girl instead of just someone's significant other at tech events. I *really* should make a sticker that reads: "Emacs: More than just a text editor. It's a way of life!" Or "(I (think (in (LISP))))"
Hmm. There's a book about writing for bumper stickers. I should request it. Fortunately I don't have the budget or space for an inkjet printer, so I'm forced to find other ways to make these little jokes happen...

5. Social Tech Brewing: Kristin ?: 16:35
Kristin talked about how, if you were stuck on something, there was often the assumption that it was because you were a woman instead of there actually being a problem. She shared her experience of taking courses and being afraid of asking "silly" questions until she eventually did, finding out that her male classmates had also been wondering the same thing. Self-confidence plays such a huge role...

6. Living life online: 17:43
People often find the public nature of my blog remarkable. They boggle at the idea that I put my task list online and that I share my reflections on my quarter-life crisis.
I share a lot, but this blog doesn't have *everything.* There are a lot of things I don't write about because I haven't figured them out yet or because I don't feel like writing about them. I also have quite a number of stories that I just haven't gotten around to writing!
But yes, my life is mostly public. Why, when I know that Google and Archive.org will mean that these things will be around for pretty much forever? ;)
In particular, people find my task list unusual. Sacha Peter said:
... she has taken the step to pretty much put her task lists online for the whole world to see.
He wonders whether it might be interesting to look back over several years of data. Hmm... Come to think of it, I've been using Planner for four and a half years now. Whoa.
I use my task list as both a tool for proactive planning, reactive management, and retrospective reflection. I mainly use it to plan ahead, get stuff out of my head, and keep track of what I accomplished for the day. I *could* use Planner to keep track of tasks that I didn't finish or didn't get around to, and I might change to doing that one of these days.
I guess the strange thing is that I do this kind of planning out in public. This has helped me countless times. A public task list lets people figure out if I remembered that I have a meeting with them. Sometimes people will remind me of things if they see me procrastinate. And every so often, people offer tips and suggestions that help me do my work more effectively.
It's easy to have private tasks. Here's the basic Emacs Lisp code I'd need for that:
(defun sacha/planner-skip-private () "Remove all lines matching {{ private }} (no spaces)." (goto-char (point-min)) (delete-matching-lines "{{private}\}")) ; escaped here just so that you can see it
I don't think I'll use it often, though. It's kinda nice keeping people up to date on what I'm working on even if I don't have the time to write long blog entries...

8. CookOrDie last Saturday: Decadent Dessert party: 18:50
I confess: I threw a dessert party just to have an excuse to bake more brownies.
You see, I'm a social chocolate eater. Knowing it to be one of my weaknesses, I try not to have chocolate unless I have company. And as 9x13 pans result in a _lot_ of brownies, I absolutely must have friends over if I'm going to even think of baking.
So I did. Dan Howard, Quinn Fung and Jedediah Smith came over. We had this absolutely decadent dessert: freshly-baked double-chocolate brownies topped with French vanilla ice cream and hot fudge bought especially for the occasion.
As a concession to healthy eating, we followed it with pineapple chunks and loose-leaf green tea. (I've graduated to loose-leaf tea! With a tea ball! Proper.)
Now _that's_ a terrific way to spend a Saturday afternoon.
Kelly blogged about brownie sundaes. I _so_ want to have a Sundae Sunday now, complete with whipped cream and a light dusting of chocolate shavings or almond slivers or toasted rice or _something_ equally indulgent...
Life is so much better when you know how to make dessert.

9. Book: The Renaissance Soul: Life Design for People with Too Many Passions to Pick Just One: 20:17
Worth reading! The Renaissance Soul gives down-to-earth advice for people who thrive on variety and challenges in a number of deep and rich interests. The book helps people identify their passions (plural!) and follow them without feeling overwhelmed by choice. It's also clear, well-written, and full of concrete stories. I like it!
A number of people have told me that they admire the way I know what I'm doing. My grade school teachers were completely unsurprised by my choice of a college major. My love for technology can be traced to childhood, and on the surface it can seem like I'm one of those people who know what they want to do and how to do it.
However, my teachers and friends have also always known that I can have a hard time focusing. In university, I switched from mobile computing to wearable computing to personal information management to education. I take up hobbies and let them go at some point.
The best thing I took away from the book is the idea of a focal point sampler. Identify four things you're passionate about. Figure out if you're the kind of person who pursues things sequentially or who prefers to enrich life by blending things together. Make it happen. Key point: you're not stuck to these four choices forever; you can change your mind and try different flavors next time. It's like sampling flavors in an ice cream shop...
I think my sister Kathy should read this book, too. =) Good book. Thumbs up!
|The people who are most secure are not those who pick one career and stick with it. They are the people who follow their passion--or passions. [Quote preceded by clear, concrete example.]
|Only by staying in tune with your passions will you acquire the glowing references and kindred-spirit networking contacts that will pull you through times of change, whether that change is imposed from without or within.

|[Brainstorming extravaganza. Invite a dozen or so friends/colleagues/whoever over.]
|[Resource party. Kinda like a silent auction. Hand out index cards with numbers written on them, and arrange people in a circle. Person 1 asks a question. Anyone who can help raises their number, and the person writes down their numbers for later conversation. (Don't take other people's time with the details!). Go a few rounds, then take a break for conversation.]
|[Guidelines for volunteering: create your own volunteer position by bartering your services for what they can provide, make contact with the right person (someone who can make things happen for you and doesn't mind sharing opportunities).]
|[Four-frame approach: big picture, why you selected this situation, what you would like to gain, what you can give in return]
|Mentorship has traditionally been a less formal affair open to everyone. [You can find mentors everywhere.]

|[Set intention markers - milestones - which show you how you follow through with those milestones.]
|[Schedule in focal point blocks and then work on whichever focal point is appropriate for the moment. You can color-code your schedule according to the focal point in order to see if you've been balancing things well.]
|[Multitask in one direction. Don't do other things during focal point time, but mix focal stuff into other activities.]
|Fresh ideas for your daily TODO list
|[Have three candidates for asking for help with different things, prioritize and load-balance]

10. Book: Lifeskills: 8 Simple Ways to Build Stronger Relationships, Communicate More Clearly, Improve Your Health: 20:41
The book goes into interesting detail about the neurological changes that happen when people get lots of tender loving care. =) Quite interesting reading.
My parents raised me with lots of affection and positive thoughts. Perhaps that's also the reason why people find me calm during many stressful situations, and I recover from disappointments quickly. Here's the technical explanation:
- A loving action triggers serotonin production in the hippocampus.
- Serotonin stimulates a specific type of receptor on other hippocampal cells.
- Receptor activation results in the formation of cyclic-AMP and PKA, which prompts the production of receptors for cortisol (stress hormone).
- Extra cortisol receptors migrate to the surface of the hippocampus.
During times of stress, the adrenal gland produces cortisol, which causes adrenaline effects to last longer, mobilizes fat for energy, and shuts down the immune system. However, the additional cortisol receptors tell the hypothalamus to calm the fight-or-flight response. While the stressful stimulus is there, this signal is overridden. However, when the stressor is removed, the extra cortisol receptors make it easier for someone to calm down.
More notes later. In the meantime, thanks, Mama and Papa!

11. May you live in interesting times: 21:13
Gabriel Mansour just found out how dangerous it is to not have an exciting story when people ak you about interesting things that've happened to you. The bus stop he was standing at got completely demolished just seconds after he left it. Read his story.
My brother-in-law, John Valdezco, discovered this the hard way, too. We were on our way to Taal Lake - a lake in the crater of a volcano - when talk turned to adventures. My dad asked John to tell us a story about the most interesting thing that had happened to him so far. Right after he gave up and said that he couldn't think of anything, there was a sudden commotion - a landslide right behind our car.
My mom thought that was a very good reason to never ask someone if anything interesting had ever happened to them. Still, I'm a slow learner. I like listening to people's stories. If you think you might spend some time around me, make sure you've got one ready! You really don't want to tempt fate, especially not around someone happily cursed to live an interesting life.

12. Balancing the day: 21:17
I've set aside Wednesdays for catching my breath just in case my weekends are too full, as they tend to be. I don't particularly feel the need to meditate, though. I spent all day doing quiet work: reading books, writing about Social Tech Brewing, and sharing my book notes. I want to balance that with lively social interaction and lots of laughter. So I'm off to cruise downtown for interesting conversations. If I can get in touch with Shane, maybe we can do random acts of kindness and connection...
It's all about balance and variety. When I have a packed, hectic day, all I want is to relax quietly. When I have a peaceful day, I like jazzing it up with excitement.
I wonder how I can make the most of this energy...

Little known fact: many truffle recipes include what we like to think of as truffle reinforcements, that is, truffle oil, butter or juice. This creates a nuanced flavor with depth and dimension.
To inspire your culinary creativity, we offer black truffle butter so studded with real truffle pieces that it's hard to see the butter.
We take special care to get the right ratio of truffle pieces in each batch so the sweet creaminess of the butter is perfectly balanced with robust, earthy truffle flavor and heady aroma. Because there's nothing more disappointing than a streak of plain old butter amidst the black truffles.
Truffle butter is one of those ingredients that will forever change the way you cook. A dollop on a seared steak, or a few pats tucked under chicken skin are revelatory.
Put a pat of truffle butter on top of a seared steak just before serving. Toss it with hot pasta and melt it over braised, steamed or sautéed vegetables.
Massage a chicken with truffle butter before roasting. A dollop stirred into a pan sauce at the last minute will thicken the sauce and bring powerful truffle flavor.
For a midday or weekend snack, keep it simple like the French do, and spread truffle butter on a piece of bread. And for an elegant but easy hors d'oeuvre, try black truffle butter on bread or crackers, topped with a slice of saucisson sec (our recipe). Nothing could be easier—or tastier.
Truffle butter stores well in the freezer, so you can stock up and always have the incredible taste of black truffles on hand when you need (or crave) it.

The last time I bought a red pepper at the grocery store the clerk didn't know the code to punch in and as she was looking it up, I said "Just charge me for prime rib, because I think it'll come pretty close to being the right amount." She laughed as I mentally kicked myself for even thinking of paying $2.00 for one red pepper. But darn it, I just love them!

DOE Webinar: Fuel Cells and Renewable Portfolio Standards
June 6, 2011
The U.S. Department of Energy's Fuel Cell Technologies Program will co-host a webinar with the Clean Energy States Alliance (CESA) and the Technology Transition Corporation titled "Fuel Cells and Renewable Portfolio Standards" on Thursday, June 9, from noon to 1:00 p.m. Eastern.
The webinar will explore the reasons why Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPSs) in some states have included both fuel cells that use renewably generated fuels and fuel cells that use natural gas. The webinar will also provide detailed information that state policymakers need to take into account when considering whether to include fuel cells in an RPS. Additionally, the webinar will discuss the reasons why more states are giving increased attention to distributed generation systems – energy systems in which power is produced onsite instead of taken from the grid – including fuel cells.
Speakers include:
- L. Scott Larsen, Project Manager, New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA)
- Warren Leon, Senior Advisor, CESA
- Pat Valente, Executive Director, Ohio Fuel Cell Coalition
- Frank Wolak, Vice President for Government Business, FuelCell Energy, Inc.
Register now to attend this free webinar. Space is limited.

More home rules to be considered
Martinsburg would take part in pilot program if extended by lawmakers
January 10, 2013
MARTINSBURG — Martinsburg officials would seriously look at joining a home rule pilot program in West Virginia if it is extended by state lawmakers....
Since M-burg has shown itself unwilling or unable to comply with current state laws I don't think giving cities more power is a good idea.

The municipal government of Martinsburg isn't competent enough to manage what they have control of now. I don't know which would be worse...idiots in Charleston making our laws or idiots in a room on Queen St.
