Every surface in Carol Garsten's Nature Gallery is covered with things to look at -- huge, sparkling amethyst geodes, tiny fossils of trilobites in gray stone, jewelry made with smooth, rounded tiger's eye.
"I have to make a living doing this, but it is way more than making a living for me, this business," said Garsten, a curly-haired, exuberant 49-year-old Palo Alto resident. "It's my passion. It makes me happy. And it makes me happy that it makes other people happy."
Garsten says the minerals and fossils she collects and sells "kind of help us put perspective on life, because they're these ancient things." And their impact carries beyond the walls of her small shop at the Town & Country Village shopping center in Palo Alto.
She does classroom presentations, turning local students into "rock hounds." She also uses the shop to support local charities through fundraising events.
When not at work, she advocates for the homeless, serving as board chairwoman for Peninsula HealthCare Connection at Palo Alto's Opportunity Center, and running the Downtown Streets Team's mentoring program.
Carolyn Digovich, a local marketing professional who has worked with Garsten on projects and nominated her as an unsung hero, described her as "a local businesswoman who finds a creative way of giving back to her community and helping people."
For example, Digovich said, earlier this month Garsten gathered a small group of Town & Country Village businesses to do a fundraiser for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The businesses donated a portion of their proceeds to Breast Cancer Connections, a local resource center for people with breast cancer.
"It's not just a check written to something," Digovich said. "It's her personal involvement that's made a difference in so many people's lives."
Garsten graduated from film school at the University of Southern California and began her career in the film industry. But her plans changed after her mother Norma Tager, who was ill with cancer and interested in the healing effects of crystals, decided to open up a crystal shop in San Luis Obispo in 1987.
Garsten joined her shortly after and never left. In 1994, they moved to Palo Alto. Tager died in 1996.
Today, the tiny store's green walls are lined with cabinets full of crystals and jewelry, and Garsten's nature photography hangs on display. It's the kind of place where parents tell their children, "Don't touch anything!" But Garsten has a cabinet just for kids, full of gems, fossils and treasures they can hold.
"A lot of what I do in this gallery is teaching, not only to kids but adults, too," Garsten said. "A lot of people say this place is like a museum, except you can touch it."
Garsten is a Rotary Club member, and through that organization became involved with groups that serve the homeless, including the Downtown Streets Team and Peninsula HealthCare Connection.
"I think a lot of people in the community are really scared of the idea of even talking to someone who's homeless," Garsten said. "A lot of these people are just people who have had really bad luck and made bad choices, and it could happen to anyone."
She currently runs the Streets Team's mentoring program and has worked with Downtown Streets Team participant Evan Davis for a year and a half. She has helped him get pro-bono dental work, apply for a membership at the YMCA and secure housing at the Opportunity Center.
"She helped me organize my goals, how to achieve them, kept me on track," Davis said.
He stops by her shop to chat and wash her windows every week.
"The time I spend connecting with people one-on-one is just so valuable," Garsten said. "It makes a life worth living, to be able to help someone less fortunate."

Behind the scenes, business leaders press for immigration overhaul
WASHINGTON — While the immigration debate has been put on the back burner in Washington, national and local business heavyweights have been working behind the scenes — and using their financial might — to press House Republicans to bring legislation overhauling the immigration system to a vote.
The well-organized groups are led by some of the biggest names in business, such as New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg. They've set their sights on GOP lawmakers from Southern states like North Carolina, Texas and Florida, and have recruited local business leaders and chambers of commerce to deliver a unified message that immigration legislation is crucial to the success of local economies.

Washington, DC— Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro (CT-3) joined First Lady Michelle Obama and national leaders at the White House today to kick-off the Let's Move campaign to end the childhood obesity epidemic within a generation. Childhood obesity rates across the country have tripled over the last 30 years, and nearly one third of all children in America are overweight or obese. As they grow up, these children will be more at risk for diseases such as heart disease, asthma, cancer, and high blood pressure.
The First Lady's Let's Move initiative will address the issue of childhood obesity by engaging schools, families, and communities to help kids be more active, eat better, and to live healthier lives. It also calls for the creation of a new foundation, the Partnership for a Healthier America, to support and coordinate with states, communities, and the non-profit and for-profit sectors to help address childhood obesity.
President Obama also announced he had signed a Presidential Memorandum to create the first ever Task Force on Childhood Obesity, which will coordinate federal agencies to issue an action plan to optimize federal resources and set goals for the First Lady's initiative.
Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro said, "I commend First Lady Michelle Obama for this initiative to establish a Task Force on Childhood Obesity. With her leadership, we finally will begin to see real progress being made in reducing the alarming childhood obesity rates. It is unacceptable from a public health standpoint to see more and more children being treated for high blood pressure, high cholesterol and type II diabetes.
"Congress has an opportunity to make important strides this year with the Child Nutrition Reauthorization Act. We need to enact meaningful reforms in our child nutrition programs that encourage healthier eating habits and promote physical activity if we are to reverse the childhood obesity epidemic. It was once unimaginable that children could face a shorter lifespan than their parents. But we are in danger of this becoming reality if we fail to act."

Ray Lane, a managing partner at venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, already owns a Porsche, a Jeep Wrangler and a Ferrari.
On Tuesday, he got the keys to his newest ride: a silver electric hybrid Fisker Karma, one of the first to be produced.
"My goal is to try not to use any gasoline," said Lane, who compared the Karma to a high-end Mercedes or Porsche as he proudly showed the car off to tech journalists and took it for short spins around Kleiner's parking lot on Sand Hill Road in Menlo Park. His enthusiasm is understandable -- he's also chairman of the board of Fisker Automotive.
He says he plans to use the Karma every day and doesn't have to worry about "range anxiety." His commute from his Atherton home to his Menlo Park office is about five miles each way.
The Karma travels for about 50 miles on a battery charge and has a gasoline-powered extended range of an additional 250 miles.
"It's not a hybrid like a Prius," said Lane. "It's a hybrid like a Volt." The Prius relies primarily on its gas engine for power, whereas the Karma and Volt rely largely on their batteries.
The Karma, which has been beleaguered by a series of production delays, will cost about $100,000. Actor Leonardo DiCaprio already got his Karma, while former Vice President Al Gore and former Secretary of State Colin Powell, both of whom are affiliated with Kleiner, are expected to take ownership of their Karmas in the coming days.
Fisker Automotive, based in Anaheim, was founded in 2007. Designed by Henrik Fisker, the four-passenger Karma is assembled in Finland, with production scheduled to move to a former GM factory in Wilmington, Del. The cars will be sold through a national network of high-end car dealers. Fisker says it plans initial production volume of 15,000 a year.
"The Karma is a high-end vehicle that could replace a regular car," said Jeremy Anwyl, CEO of Edmunds.com. "But the segment of the market that buys cars that cost $100,000 and above is very small."
Lane said he expects Europe, where gas costs about $9 a gallon, to "smoke the United States" in terms of sales.
Kleiner has a vast cleantech portfolio, with transportation one of six cleantech sectors the firm invests in. Kleiner first invested in Fisker in January 2008, after looking at several business plans from electric-vehicle startups. Lane credited colleague Trae Vasallo with bringing Fisker to the firm's attention.
"There's no downside to a Fisker Karma except high price," said Lane. "But there is a consumer segment that buys high-end cars, that spends $120,000 on a Porsche. We underpriced this car. We brought an electric vehicle to market at a price below its competition in the internal combustion engine."
Many venture capitalists in Silicon Valley drive Tesla Roadsters, a two-seat sports car. But Lane said the two cars should not be compared to each other.
"The Tesla Roadster appeals to a different set of customers," said Lane, who said he recently drove in a friend's Roadster. "It's tough to get in and out of."

Nora Rawlinson was editor of Library Journal and editor-in-chief of Publishers Weekly for 12 years. Before that, she was head of Materials Selection for Baltimore County Public Library, a system renowned for its innovations under the legendary and often controversial director, Charles Robinson. Baltimore County was the first major public library to centralize selection. It was also known for buying for popular demand. Nora wrote a piece explaining this then-radical collection development philosophy, called "Give 'Em What They Want," which is still assigned reading in many Library Schools. At Library Journal, she introduced many new columns, which are still part of the magazine – PrePub Alert, the Collection Development series, Classic Returns, and Readers Shelf. She was hired in 2005 by Time Warner Book Group (later Hachette Book Group) to set up library marketing for their imprints. EarlyWord is an outgrowth of her belief that the more libraries understand about publishing, the better they can be as selectors and readers advisors.

My husband and I have always encouraged each other to have time away for ourselves but it had been awhile for me and I didn't realize how much I needed it! The first five days in Carefree I was with five wonderful girlfriends from all different parts of my life.We were joined by Kristi, who is also a close friend, my soon to be married sister-in-law getting ready for her wedding. Some of the women had never met and some only briefly but the combination of us all really worked and we had such a great time. Even though I could sleep in everyday for some reason I woke up early and then sat around talking and drinking coffee until lunch, it was heaven! There were walks, pool time, lots of good food, and especially lots of laughing.I feel so lucky to have so many great women in my life thank you all for joining me!
After all of my friends flew back to their lives Kristi and I had a nice dinner and ran some wedding errands before the family descended. Portland, Houston, Sacramento, Massachusetts, and India everyone flew in to be a part of Nathaniel and Kristi's wedding.I have some photos but they don't hold a candle to the beautiful photos taken by Stacie and Geoff of Lang Photography.
|All photos by Lang Photography
Kristi looked beautiful and Nathaniel was handsome. My husband officiated the wedding ceremony with his usual wit and humor. Lily was the flower girl and Avery the ring bearer. After a wonderful dinner the outdoor party lights came on and we started playing cornhole, yes that's right we are addicted. At one point in the evening I was getting a chiropractic adjustment under the stars while my uncle played the accordion, I can't wait to see those pictures. All of the people and quirkiness led to a magical event and I am so happy for Nathaniel and Kristi I love you both!!

Girl You Should Know: Dolly Castro
Dolly Castro is model from Managua, Nicaragua, and in an interview she said she loves it when a guy looks her in the eyes. This will be difficult unless her outfit is a sleeping bag.
Castro completed 8 semesters of law school in Nicaragua before realizing people were willing to pay more to see her represented visually than they would have paid to be represented in court.
Castro said she doesn't like nightclubs or other loud places. This is a rare thing for gorgeous models to say for some reason, but it's a great thing for most (non-douche-y) men to hear.

From the You-Can-Make-This-Up Department, via Beliefnet:
Saudi Arabia's religious police have arrested a South American soccer star in a shopping mall in the Saudi capital for failing to cover up his tattoo of Jesus.
Juan Pablo Pino, 24, who plays for the An-Nasr professional team was wearing a sleeveless shirt while walking with his young pregnant wife in a shopping mall in Riyadh, reported Asia News.
"The tattoo on his left shoulder led to the insults of some local Muslims," reported the Vatican Insider newspaper. "The incident attracted the attention of the so-called 'police for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice,' who stopped the couple."
Religion often seems to get in the way of sports in Iran. Remember the Iranian soccer player who refused to play in Israel? Of course, arresting a soccer player simply because he displayed a Christian image, offensive for sure, is hardly the worst thing happening in Iran.
Read the rest of the Pino story here.
CORRECTION: I really misread the opening words of the Beliefnet story. The player was arrested in Saudi Arabia, not Iran.

Senator Jesse Helms
Statement for Asian and Pacific Affairs Subcommittee Hearing on Taiwan
Senate Foreign Relations Committee
July 21, 1999
10:00 a.m.
MR. HELMS: Mr. Chairman, President Lee and Taiwan's government have
been exceedingly helpful to those of us who support the people on
Taiwan by clearing away some of the uncertainty that has surrounded
Taiwan's status for years.
By having the courage to state the obvious -- that the Republic of
China on Taiwan is a de facto sovereign state, the distinguished
President Lee has created an opportunity to break free from the
anachronistic, Beijing-inspired "one-China" policy which has
imprisoned U.S. policy toward China and Taiwan for years.
The "one-China" notion that crept into existence in 1972 has always
been a puzzling fiction. But even if one accepted its Cold War
strategic rationale, the end of the Cold War surely should have
diminished the notion that it was somehow essential to bow and scrape
to Red China by parroting Beijing's concocted diplomatic resolution.
Developments in Taiwan demonstrate that the "one-China" gambit is even
more than an insensible departure from reality. In 1991, the Republic
of China on Taiwan abandoned its claims to sovereignty over all of
China, providing unmistakable implications that there are two Chinese
governmental entities.
Moreover, during Taiwan's years of stunning democratic development, a
model for the future of Chinese civilization has made crystal clear
the fact that the 21 million people of Taiwan do not consider
themselves part of the People's Republic of China.
Despite all of this, the Clinton Administration did everything it
could to drive the United States even deeper into the "one-China" hole
-- a good example is the Clinton Administration's caving into
Beijing's "3 Noes" demand last summer.
Now, in response to President Lee's remarks and Beijing's threatening
bluster, the Clinton Administration has, one again, tilted nervously
toward Beijing -- first by trotting out the banal "one-China"
language, then repeating Red China's "3-Noes" dictum -- twice! Not
until this past Thursday, after days of prodding, did the
administration finally bring itself back to a degree of common sense
by restating U.S. defense commitments to Taiwan under the Taiwan
Relations Act.
At a time when the United States should be seizing every opportunity
to break free of Beijing's definition of "one-China" (not to mention
making pointed reminders to Beijing regarding our long-standing
defense obligations to Taiwan) the Clinton Administration is paralyzed
by its own anachronistic policy, better known as appeasement.
Mr. Chairman, I am among the growing number of Americans who are weary
of watching our good friends on Taiwan left twisting in the wind by
the Clinton strategists for surrender. Now is the time to support
President Lee and the people of Taiwan for their moral courage in
standing up for themselves in the face of Red China's bullying.

Fort Worth welcomes its Vaquero
James Ragland was in Fort Worth this morning for the installation of the Vaquero de Fort Worth, a 2,500-pound bronze that pays tribute to the Mexican cowboys whose roping and riding skills helped create the modern cattle industry.
The statue, commissioned by the Fort Worth City Council, is at the intersection of North Main Street and Central Avenue. It will serve as a gateway to the Mercado District and the Stockyards.
The project was not without controversy. As Bill Hanna of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported, work on the bronze was halted last year because the vaquero is wearing a pistol. Some Fort Worth residents — including Justice of the Peace Manuel Valdez, chairman of the Vaquero Project Core Committee — argued that historically, cowboys were seldom armed.
In February, the council voted to install the artwork as its creators, David Newton and Tómas Bustos, designed it — sidearm and all.

A New Look at the Unforgettable Lady Day

moreFrom Julia Blackburn, an author whose ability to conjure lives from other times and places is so vivid that one suspects she sees ghosts, here is a portrait of a woman whose voice continues to haunt anyone who hears it.
Billie Holiday's life is inseparable from an account of her troubles, her addictions, her arrests, and the scandals that would repeatedly put her name in the tabloid headlines of the 1940s and 1950s. Those who knew her learned never to be surprised by what she might do. Her moods and faces were so various that she could seem to be a different woman from one moment to the next. Volatile, unpredictable, Billie Holiday remained, even to her friends, an elusive and perplexing figure.
In With Billie, we hear the voices of those people–piano players and dancers, pimps and junkies, lovers and narcs, producers and critics, each recalling intimate stories of the Billie they knew. What emerges is a portrait of a complex, contradictory, enthralling woman, a woman who knew what really mattered to her. Reading With Billie, one is convinced that she has only just left the room but will return shortly. less

Buying all that disposable wrapping paper during the holidays is not only expensive, but takes a toll on our landfill and the environment. Just think of all that trash that is gathered up late Christmas morning after all the presents have been unwrapped. Wrapping paper from holiday gifts is largely to blame for a 25 percent spike in curbside trash volume between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day, according to the EPA. Fortunately, there are pretty and festive alternatives to paper wrapping.
GreenGiftWrapping.com offers pre-sized fabric wraps that assemble easily with the pull of a ribbon. The fabric wraps can be re-used dozens of times and can even be laundered if necessary. Japanese Furoshiki is a beautiful way to wrap a gift and the wrap actually is a gift in and of itself. Learn the art of Furoshiki here. For an extra shiny effect and a different twist on recycled paper, recycled aluminum foil adds shiny happiness. Tie on some colorful raffia or a reusable fabric ribbon to finish the look or tie on a compact flourescent bulb instead of a bow. Decorate your packages with found elements in your backyard such as pine cones, pine sprigs, berries or other greenery. If you still want to go the paper gift wrap route, make sure it's made of 100% recycled paper and printed with soy-based inks. With these tips, cutting down on holiday waste should be easy- now if we can only get the toy manufacturers to do the same!

Introducing your newborn to an eco-friendly lifestyle starts well before they are actually born. And hosting a green baby shower doesn't have to be daunting. It can actually be very fun and creative with many fun decorating ideas drawn from mother earth. Start with a party invitation printed on 100% recycled paper with 100% recycled envelopes such as the Eco Friendly Garden Shower Invite from My Good Greetings. Be sure to add a note asking guests to forego traditional gift wrap.
Think as green as possible for party decorations utilizing recycled papers and greenery from the yard. Forget the disposable plates and utensils and break out your good china instead. Don't have a china set? Don't worry, think about borrowing pieces from friends or other hosts. Mix and matched china can make a unique and beautiful tablescape. Use potted flowers as table decorations and then give them away as party favors. Tree sapplings potted in reusable glass jars with a name tag make for great place settings and each guest can plant them later in babies name. Sachets of burlap tied with raffia and filled with wildflower seeds also make great favors. Encourage cloth diapers as gifts or collect donations for a month or two of diaper service.
Buy local produce and ingredients as much as possible. A visit to your local farmer's market may inspire more green ideas as well. Be sure to talk with the vendors- they often have wonderful ideas. And when the festivities are over be sure to recycle as much as possible and compost the food scraps. Set up easy to spot recycle bins for guests to use. We hope the following collage board inspires your next green party event. Be sure to read the photo credits which will lead to more wonderful ideas.

One trend we're seeing more and more on our customized shower invitations at My Good Greetings is the request for unwrapped gifts or eco-friendly gift wrapping. I always wonder if those party guests who are eco-friendly challenged stumble over this request. It may seem awkward and abrupt to bring an unwrapped toaster and toss it on the gift table. And let's face it-- gift wrap can be so pretty. There's something very exciting about seeing a table full of beautifully wrapped presents. But at the end of the day- it really is a complete waste of paper and trees.
One solution is Furoshiki- gift wrapping with a Japanese wrapping cloth. Charissa at TheGiftedBlog.com shares some beautiful samples of this beautiful Japanese art of gift wrapping. She also offers step-by-step instructions on how to create some beautiful wrap designs. Japanese wrapping cloths can be purchased, but if they are hard to find in your area, I'm thinking a beautiful scarf or large square of fabric- edges finished- would do the trick as well. A square tablecloth might work well for a larger gift and the best part- the wrap becomes an additional present—no wrapping waste!
Namitha in India also gives a very detailed instructions and tips on her blog Ephemera Studio

Very Serious Artist Kanye West is Going to Show Off His Baby on Kris Jenner's Talk Show
8/21/2013 8:00 AM PDT, by Emily Trainham
Do you remember when Kanye West was a serious rapper? When people had a lot of respect for him? When people were all "yeah, he seems kind of obnoxious, but he's one of the best in the game right now"? When he attacked paparazzi because he wasn't into the attention?
That was the Kanye of yesterday. The Kanye of today has a child with Kim Kardashian, and he is showing her off on Kris Jenner's talk show.
Yeah, that interview that Kris did with Kanye, the one they recorded on Monday and that's airing on Friday? That's going to be North West's big debut! She's not going to be there herself, since she's really busy right now, but Kanye shows a photo of her. And just since we can't possibly wait two more days, someone who was there to see the photo blabbed to E! all about it:
"North is very beautiful. She has big cheeks, a lighter complexion than Kanye, but closer to Kanye's color than Kim's. She has straight black hair and almond eyes just like Kim. She has a round face and is really cute."
She does sound really cute! The same ol' blabber also blabbed about Kanye's reasoning for showing the first photo on Kris' show: he didn't want to sell it and he didn't want paparazzi to follow him so hard because he wants North to "be a normal kid." Yeah, good luck with that one, Ye.
