Michael of Homer Street Peet's
Original post made by Concerned Peet's Customer, Menlo Park, on Jun 5, 2007
I didn't want to upset his coworkers by asking then and there what had happened. Does anyone know? Was he ill?
I will miss seeing him :(

He died last Monday morning in the shop, as he and the other morning crew were prepping before the shop opened for the morning. Apparently he simply collapsed and was dead well before the emergency crews arrived. He seemed to this patron as too young to die, but apparently his smoking and life just caught up with him. At least he went quickly, which is a blessing. Watching my parents go through long, slow, awful declines puts his sudden demise into perspective, but he was definitely at an age where dying is unexpected and a shock.

To clarify a little more. Michael had no medical history of heart problems. He came to work wednesday morning and met me outside the store for cigarettes and talk about 10 minutes before we opened. He told me he wasnt feeling well and that he had some tightness in his chest. We continued with opening the store though i was very worried, this guy was more than a coworker to me, he was my best friend. He went down about 10 minutes before we were supposed to open the shop. He struggled to stay alive 10 minutes before the paramedics arrived. 10 MINUTES!! it took them to get to Peets on homer...
He took his last breath in my arms.
As this is a very sensitive subject for me. I would appreciate it if people didnt act like they know the story and try to tell it like they do. I work at peets i was with him when he died i know the full story. And i read what you all write...Im very offended by the way the annonymous writer tried to explain what happened.

Survey finds 22 per cent of women feel they have stronger relationship with girlfriends than their partners.
More than a fifth of New Zealand women say their relationships with female friends are much stronger than that with their partner, a new survey shows.
And the majority of women would never say no to a girlfriend in need - many put their friends' needs above their own.
Figures showed that 22 per cent of women in the Pantene Beautiful Lengths study said their relationships with female friends was stronger than with their lover.
Just over half of women - 57 per cent - said they usually put their own needs aside to help a friend in need and 65 per cent said they could never turn down a girlfriend who asked for help.
A majority of women would happily shed their locks to make a wig for a friend or family member struggling with cancer.
More than 1000 people took part in the online survey, commissioned as part of the Beautiful Lengths campaign - in association with the charity Look Good Feel Better - which provides real-hair wigs for women with cancer.
The Beautiful Length campaign is an international initiative that began in 2006 and sees women from around the world donating hair for women undergoing cancer treatment.
Since it began, more than 303,998 ponytails have been donated, making 24,000 wigs.
The initiative now involves women from New Zealand and Australia, with women and young girls from around the country posting photos of themselves getting their hair cut on the New Zealand-based website.
General manager of charity Look Good Feel Better, Yvonne Brownlie, said the survey indicated the special relationship women have and what they are prepared to do in order to help a friend.
"We witness the power of support and friendship at our workshops, when women come together to share, learn and laugh," Ms Brownlie said.
The survey also showed that 82 per cent of women said they could always rely on a girlfriend to help them.
Anything for a friend
NZ women:
77 per cent would cut off their hair for a friend battling cancer.
82 per cent could always rely on their girlfriends in an hour of need.
22 per cent believe relationship with girlfriends stronger than their partner.
57 per cent would put friends' needs above their own.

- About Plattsburgh
The Art Department offers two art studio degrees: the Bachelor of Fine Arts (B.F.A.) and the Bachelor of Arts (B.A.). These options allow students to select the degree that best suits their personal goals.
The B.A. degree permits students to combine in-depth study in studio art with either broader liberal studies, a second major, or a minor. It is well-suited to students who wish to enter fields such as art therapy, elementary education, arts management, or advertising. After receiving a solid foundation, students select one or more concentrations in graphic design, ceramics, drawing, painting, photography, printmaking or sculpture.
The foundation studio art experience is an integral component of student preparation in the visual arts. The strength of the foundation program rests on a synthesis of drawing, two and three dimensional design, and art history survey courses. These introductory courses provide the language for visual thinking. The foundation studio art program, along with a broad liberal arts education, provide the building blocks for developing our students creative individuality.
Every art major elects at least one studio area of concentration with a focus on building a mature level of creative expression. This in-depth involvement also enables our students to create a professional level portfolio for their future goals. Many of our students choose to continue their education in a Master of Fine Arts program.
Concentrations are available in:

Hated this at first because it was so thick! But I started putting this in the shower and I would put it on while my skin is still damp and it would absorb wonderfully. A little goes a very long way. I'm using this during pregnancy and so far, skin's wonderful!

This is one of the best unscented body cream that I have ever used. It's thick yet very easily absorbed by the skin. The cost for this 12.85 fl oz bottle is also very reasonable. I've finally find something that I'm completely satisfied with. Thank you Madre Labs and thank you iHerb. I'll be using this wonderful product for the many years to come.

Good lotion,
Posted by Reviewer1820561 on Feb 25, 2013 | Verified Purchase
I have had very dry skin all my life and have used numerous products. This is a good lotion. It is rather thick which is good in that I'm not paying for a lot.of water in a product, but It makes it a little difficult to get out of the bottle when the bottle is less than half full, especially if the room temperature is cool.. It is unscented which only means that no fragrance has been added, but the natural smell of the ingredients is not pleasant. I have a poor sense of smell and don't notice it unless I sniff it, but my son and my daughter have both commented on the unpleasant odor. So I hope to be able to thin it down and improve the smell by blending Vitamin E oil and/or essential oils with it.

Battle Flaky Dry Skin
Posted by Reviewer1774378 on Apr 02, 2012 | Verified Purchase
I have been in a battle with dry skin for a long time now. For over 25 years, my face has been flaky with skin falling from it regularly. I have tried so many creams and moisturizers and they just leave my face oily and greasy. This lotion was different and I do not have to apply much at all to stop the flaky skin from returning. Good product. I'm going to try others too. I realize that this is for hands and body, but it works on my face very well.

The elaborate pranking process in which one buys a novelty item from Rite-Aid in the dead of night, pairs it with suggestive song lyrics, and anonymously leaves it on someone's doorstep to be discovered the next morning. This is an undertaking to be done to one's friend, the enjoyment of which comes from the mental image of that person dumbfounded by the ridiculous gift.

Get rid of messy skateboard and scooter clutter with Greig Morgan.
Tired of tripping over your kids' scooters and skateboards? Get them to help you make these handy storage units. They can either be tucked away in the carport or round the side of the house, or stand out as a feature of your landscaping.
Skateboard storage unit:
Step 1
Take a piece of ply measuring 2400x1200mmx18mm and mark out your components: the top (lid) 1200x600mm, bottom 1200x600mm, front 1200x300mm, back 1200x300mm, and two end pieces 600x300mm. Label each component.
Step 2
Cut out the components with a skill saw. Clamp a straight edge as a guide along which to run the saw.
Step 3
Stand the front and back pieces on their edges, then place the bottom flush with ends.
Glue and screw down the bottom panel. You shouldn't need to pre-drill holes for the screws.
Step 4
Once the front and back are secured down, turn it all over. With your two end pieces, measure and cut to fit inside the front and back pieces. Keeping everything flush, fix the front, back and bottom together.
Step 5
For the hinges, measure in 150mm from each end of the underside of the lid and mark. Screw the hinges into place on the lid. Now hold the lid against the unit so that the other side of the hinges can be fixed down to the top edge of the back panel. The hinges can also be recessed into the ply if you wish.
Step 6
Your storage unit is now ready to be painted and tagged. Screw a piece of angle steel to the front as a handle.
Scooter storage unit:
Step 1
Mark out your components on two sheets of 2400x1200mmx18mm ply: top and bottom 1200x600mm, x2 sides 1200x900mm, back and door 900x600mm.
Step 2
Follow the same steps as for the skateboard storage unit. The only difference apart from the size is that instead of a lid, you will have a door that is fixed to the front.
18mm H3 sheet plywood x3 sheets
Exterior wood glue
Butt Hinges 65mm x4 with 16mm screws
Angle slotted steep (handle)
Paint & GLO paint in fluorescent colours
Safety ware
Skill saw
Screw gun
Tape measure
G clamps
Level or straight edge
* Next week I'll show you how to make skateboard/scooter ramps. Your kids will love you for this.

Now we're on to my favorite makeup products!
Clinique Superpowder Double Face Makeup in Matte Tawny
Maybelline Falsies Mascara in Black
This mascara is brand new to me thanks to all of Megan's beauty posts! The first time I tried it, wa-lah. My lashes are longer than they ever have been even with other mascaras. Mascara is a staple in my makeup bag because on my "no makeup days" I am still sporting mascara.
John's mom got me this palette for Christmas and it was one of my favorite gifts! I love all the colors and the shimmers. I stick to more neutral eyes and don't change it up very often so this was perfect. I think she bought it at Sephora, but I've seen it at Macy's and Ulta too.

I have my mating nucs that I will overwinter all set and were started on July 1. They are doubles using deep frames with two nucs per box. I have built the supers that I had planned on adding at the end of the month for the fall flow.
The queens in these nucs hatched on the 4th of July and according to most queen calendars are finishing up their hardening and taking their first mating flights right about now.
After looking at the weather report for the next 10 days, and hearing stories of mass absconding from small nucs during heat waves I made the decision to put the supers on to give them some room. Will do it quickly with as little disturbance to the nuc below.
Anybody see any problems with doing this now? They are bearding pretty heavily for most of the night but the population isn't too big as I made sure not to put too many bees in them. Just enough to cover the frame of brood.
So I loaded up the truck and am heading out . . . .

Difference between revisions of "Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwyllllantysiliogogogoch"
Revision as of 20:38, 21 January 2009
Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch [1] is a small town on the Island of Anglesey, which is located off the northwest coast of North Wales.
Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch (lan-vire-pool-guin-gith-go-ger-u-queern-drob-ooth-clandus-ilio-gogo-goch) is a Welsh word which translates roughly as "St Mary's Church in the Hollow of the White Hazel near a Rapid Whirlpool and the Church of St. Tysilio near the Red Cave". The name was coined as a publicity gimmick in the 1860s by concatenating the names of Llanfairpwllgwyngyll ("St Mary's church in the hollow of the white hazel"), the nearby hamlet of Llantysilio Gogogoch ("the church of St Tysilio of the red cave"), and the chwyrn drobwll ("rapid whirlpool") between them. It was the longest place name in an English-speaking country, but it has been challenged by Llanfynydd (which unofficially changed its name to something longer) and a train stop elsewhere in Wales, but neither of these has received official recognition. A hill in New Zealand has the 85-character name (derived from Maori) of Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateapokaiwhenuakitanatahu.
Locals refer to the village as Llanfair, or as Llanfair PG (pronounced roughly "Hlan-var Pee Gee") to distinguish it from other places in Wales called "Llanfair(something)". Although typed as 58 characters, it is technically only 50 letters, because in Welsh ll ng and ch are treated as single letters.
The village is divided into two sections: the upper village (mostly older residences) and the lower village (mostly newer commercial buildings, including the train station).
Get in
Llanfair PG is a request stop on the main rail line between Holyhead and Bangor. It is also reachable by car via the Menai Suspension Bridge.
Get around
ride a platapus
See pretty pink ponies prance around while they bang manly unicorns.
hardcore crack from the back allies u can buy some cheese puffs from a drunk whalesman, he home makes them out of his own bumcrust and some mold shit he got from a dragon, he calls it peanuty delight!
Your mom's vagina
Go to a pub.
Get out
The other villages of Anglesey – Holyhead, Beaumaris, Menai Bridge, Llangefni, Ynys Llanddwyn – offer similar small-town Welsh character and remote seaside landscapes, including both lovely beaches and rugged cliffs.
There is another drunk welshman who eats u with some tea, and then shitcannons you off the island, its the only escape!!!

We've implemented a new way of updating our clubs list and therefore the map, allowing club secretaries to be in control of their own details and update them as soon as they change.
This means that the list and map are going to be more up to date and more reliable than ever before.
As a by-product of this change there have been a significant number of corrections to the details about many clubs, so if you're planning to visit a new area of the country why don't you have a look at the local club details now?
PS the URL of these pages have changed, so if you've bookmarked them please update your bookmarks now.

Dragonflies that fly across oceans
While living and working as a marine biologist in Maldives, Charles Anderson noticed sudden explosions of dragonflies at certain times of year. He explains how he carefully tracked the path of a plain, little dragonfly called the globe skimmer, only to discover that it had the longest migratory journey of any insect in the world.

Thats not his fault Im just saying[/quote] yes, u have made that point quite clear...lol It dosen't change the fact hes hitting his recievers on the move, with guys coming on him, ala the kentucky td pass that was amazing as a Defender litteraly was just about on him and he threw it while scrambling right on the money.. What QB can make that throw? seriously? And speaking of timing patterns, how about his TD pass in the Clemson game, where he freaking gunned it as hard as i seen a QB gun a pass for a 6yrd td pass to the just inside right hashmark, to the point the REF said the WR was out of bounds(a corner was litteraly on his back by the way) and replay clearly showed the feet in... It was just a shot gun get the ball and a second later gun it to where the WR is supposed to be... I mean, the guys made every play, maybe not as much as some would like, but theres evidence of every type of play and throw made from this kid.. The TD pass against KU and Ole Miss are flat out, ******edly sickening good, and i don't know if any player in this Country can make the same throws... I believe in, if your a Good PLayer, your gonna be good, as its just in your blood and your destiny to be good... Cam Newtons just a good player, who can make all the throws, can improvise, and has extremely awesome measurables and speed, and is 100times more accurate at his age then Mike Vick was at the same time, plus he has the advantage of seeing over most defenders, as mike vick can't do that... Dudes stupid accurate, and i've been writing about this kid since like the 2nd wk of the season and had money on just about every game hes played in, so i've seen just about every play from him, and wk by wk, i just kept wanting to see one more thing, to make me a total believer and every wk i was left satisfied and seeing that one more thing... I am 100pct completely satisfied and i would draft him in a Heart beat if i was a GM looking for a QB.. I'd take him over every QB except Luck...[/QUOTE] I was looking for the guy i had the BET with about Mercilus/Perry(most sacks for yr, i got mercilus), and i found this debate about CAM NEWTON we had back in early DEC of 2010, and i am shocked at the draft gurus on here who debated with me about NEWTON starting right awy and being able to do everything needed as a NFL QB to succeed.. Newton's been brilliant obviously, and can really throw it, and run it.. I think Carolina is happy with there selection and starting him from day 1..

'From the arid sparseness of her adobe home in New Mexico, this noted American woman painter has chosen to eliminate anything which might interfere with her artist's vision.' (Karsh)
O'Keeffe was a pioneer of modernism in the United States. Her work was first exhibited in 1916 by the photographer Alfred Stieglitz at his 291 Gallery in New York and she joined his circle of artists. They were married in 1924. Her work was shown at the Art Institute of Chicago and the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Her best known paintings are of enlarged studies of flowers, such as Black Iris (1926). The landscapes of New Mexico also attracted her and are the subject of other important works. After Stieglitz died in 1946, O'Keeffe settled permanently at Albiquiu in New Mexico. She was elected to the AmericanAcademy of Arts and Letters in 1962.

Well, it's a Sig, so hard to go wrong. That said, it does seem to have definate ammo preferences. You'll need to try out different brands and see what your's likes. There is supposed to be a second slide spring included with the pistol so you can change that and see what happens. There should also be an extra front site or two to help find your right one.
We got my wife one a couple days ago and she loves it. I need to help break it in as well, though for me larger would be nicer. Unfortunately there's a large difference between my hand size and hers.
Hope that helps.

Step 1
Place beans, water, ham, onion, garlic, salt, pepper and crushed red pepper in a large Dutch oven; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the beans are very tender and beginning to burst, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. If necessary, add an additional 1/2 to 1 cup water while simmering to keep the beans just submerged in cooking liquid.
Step 2
Remove from the heat; discard the onion and garlic. Transfer 2 cups of the beans to a medium bowl and coarsely mash with a fork or potato masher. Return the mashed beans to the pot; stir to combine.

The How I Met Your Mother actor has penned three books based on a script he sold when he was 21, which he managed to buy back when he became famous.
According to VH1, Segel said he "sold the script for super cheap because I didn't know any better back then.
"As I got more successful I kept hoping they wouldn't know I was the same Jason Segel as the Jason Segel they bought the script from."
While Segel, 33, wouldn't give away too many details on the book series, he did say: "It's about kids facing their biggest fears, that's about all I can tell you."
In February Michelle Williams, 32, dumped Jason over concerns about their long distance relationship.
A source said: "She cares a great deal for Jason but is not ready to make a commitment.
"Maybe if they were together day-to-day, she would have more confidence in a future. But not at this time."
Segel is based in Los Angeles for his TV show while Williams lives in New York with her seven-year-old daughter Matilda and the commute eventually became too much for the pair.
A second source added: "Jason never got rid of his place in LA, and Michelle's life with Matilda was and has always been in New York. While Jason made every effort to make them a priority in his life - and they were top priority - he still couldn't drop everything and leave his life and career in LA."
- BANG! Showbiz

Hi Carl,
I'm not at the University of Calgary, but thanks for the offer! I
really appreciate the help.
Using the code you suggest, I get a variable that takes the values
edcount = 1 for the first visit, edcount = 2 for the second, edcount =
3 for the third, and so on. Thus, when I reshape, I get an error if I
try to leave the edcount variable off my list of variables, because
it's not a constant value. Is there a way to just keep the highest
value of edcount for each person?

Thanx for the welcome Baldy!....and yes those would be it. I have yet to fire the Sigma as I have been workin shutdown for a month+ with no days off. ..........Your not on fire anywhere down there are ya/ We need some rain BAAADD!!
No fires down this way but a lot of smoke early today. Warning now about the .40ve it has a long hard trigger pull that will break in over time. It will always be a little harder than anything else you got but it does get better. Just take your time with it and don't sell it off as they are a good gun.
There's a fire in this county and of course smoke. I also have a S&W Model 29 but I don't see myself getting a Sigma. Not my cup of tea.

The man alleged to be a prime mover at the failed Five Star Group - who admitted misleading investors but then tried to reverse his guilty plea - wants his case reviewed in the High Court.
Neill Alan Williams pleaded guilty in October 2010 to charges concerning misstatements in company offer documents.
But Williams later argued he did so only because he was too ill to endure a trial and thought a guilty plea could lead to home detention rather than prison.
The discharged bankrupt made two unsuccessful attempts to vacate his plea, one in 2011 and another in March of this year.
Williams was not a listed director of Five Star but an employee of the group.
The Financial Markets Authority, which is bringing the case, alleges he was a prime mover at the company if not, at times, a controller of events.
The defendant, who is in his late 70s, was due to go through a disputed facts hearing today before his sentencing but applied late on Friday for an adjournment.
Williams' lawyer, Andrew Speed, is pushing for the hearing to be put off until the conclusion of a separate Five Star trial his client is involved in.
In this second prosecution, Williams faces charges brought by the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) for theft by a person in a special relationship.
It was initially due to be heard last June but it is now scheduled to take place next year.
Williams has pleaded not guilty in this second case.
During the application on Friday, Judge Anne Kiernan said today's disputed facts hearing would need to be adjourned regardless because of procedural difficulties at the court.
Parties will meet again this week in the Auckland District Court where the judge is expected to make a decision on when the hearing will be rescheduled.
As well as pushing for an adjournment, Williams has also filed to have the two plea-vacation decisions reviewed in the High Court.
No date has been set for this.
On Friday, Judge Kiernan said the judicial review appeared like an attempt to delay proceedings.
"At the moment, Mr Speed, I must say it looks to the court like a device to put this off when someone pleaded guilty on October 2, 2010," she said.
In denying Williams' second attempt to reverse his plea, Judge David Harvey said it appeared the defendant had been "delaying full engagement" with the case. "It seems to me, if I may use a classical allusion, that Mr Williams' approach to this case has been to follow the tactics of Quintus Fabius Maximus Verrucosus Cunctator," Judge Harvey wrote in his March judgment.
Fabius Maximus was a Roman general whose tactics of attrition and avoidance led to the term "Fabian strategy".
The judge noted that Fabius' strategy had succeeded in the long run.
Five Star directors Marcus Macdonald, Nicholas Kirk and Anthony Bowden pleaded guilty to misleading investors in a case brought by the Securities Commission (which became the FMA).
Macdonald and Kirk - who also pleaded guilty to separate criminal charges brought by the SFO - were sentenced to more than two years in jail in late 2010.
They have since been released on parole.
The Five Star Group
*Five Star marketed itself as a low- or modest-risk finance entity which made small consumer loans for clients to make household purchases such as fridges.
*Five Star was allegedly investing large sums in complex commercial and related party loans - totalling more than $50 million.
*In 2007, Five Star Consumer Finance collapsed with losses of $42 million.
*Other companies in the group, Five Star Finance and Five Star Debenture Nominee, owe a further $43 million.

Tibetan / Vajrayana
Vajrayana Buddhism is most closely associated with Tibet and can be characterized by the figure of the siddha, the master whose spiritual realization is so profound that he or she has power over the phenomenal world, and in whom the profundity and vastness of absolute truth is fully and completely manifested. Many of our most well-known authors come from this tradition of Tibetan Buddhism .

The Heart Sutra
A Comprehensive Guide to the Classic of Mahayana BuddhismThe Prajna Paramita Hridaya Sutra is among the best known of all the Buddhist scriptures. Chanted daily by many Zen students, it is also studied extensively in the Tibetan tradition, and it has been regarded with interest more recently in the West in various fields of study—from philosophy to quantum physics. In just thirty-five lines, it expresses the truth of impermanence and the release from suffering that results from the… Read More

Hi everyone, so I made the decision last week that one of my two first year hives was going to have to go from two boxes to one. I didn't get the packages until late May, and though this one initially had a huge build up and seemed to be doing amazingly well, the later part of summer was really hard on them and they've dealt with small hive beetle and then a high-fatality robbing event that (combined with a dry spell and no flow) has left them pretty depleted. Not where I hoped we'd be in September.
Anyway, I recorded my totally amateur fumbling, edited the two hours of footage down to about 16 minutes, and added a voiceover because... well, the original audio was horrible and I can.
Just a note: I really did smoke the bees quite well before both attempts to put the inner cover back on. Watching it, it looks like I'm squishing bees and I'm sure a few were, but for some reason it looks like mass slaughter on the video. In practice, they ducked down and then I quickly put the inner cover on. Hopefully there was minimal mortality associated. Also, I'm definitely open to constructive criticism on my (lack of) technique, but please try to be nice. Amateur. Novice. Figuring it out as I go.

The Lesson of Half Moon Bay
Original post made by Stacey, Amberwood/Wood Meadows, on Dec 18, 2007
Why do I feel that this is an important lesson for Pleasanton? Because some uninformed Oak Grove opponents have written here in the past with two thoughts. That 1) the voters will be able to create regulation that will prevent development of Oak Grove and that 2) somehow the Lins will just give their property over to the City as a tax writeoff.
The Half Moon Bay issue is a prime example of how the actions by a city (through regulation or otherwise) could be interpreted as violating the Fifth Amendment and what results from that. If anyone thinks that referending the Council decision and passing the initiative is somehow going to "Save the Hills" from development, think again. The first time the 98 homes plan was referended, there was no initiative "attached" to it. The development plans went back to the drawing board. Does anyone believe that will happen again here?
How much is the Oak Grove property worth undeveloped? Maybe about $50 million? Does Pleasanton have the ability to pay that amount?

What a great article! I think this is the main idea Pleasanton should take away from Half Moon Bay's predicament: "...the city was found to have seized private property without paying just compensation."
a resident of Oak Hill
on Dec 19, 2007 at 3:54 pm
In my opinion, no one is saying the property can't be developed.
Some are just objecting to the proposed way it will be developed - hill top homes that creates an adverse view of the hills, major grading required, slope angles, etc.....
Just my humble opinion............
a resident of Pleasanton Meadows
on Dec 19, 2007 at 9:03 pm
I guess "Stacey" is saying that somebody can propose anything and if it is denied that they can sue the city? Wow, I guess I can buy a property in Pleasanton, take down the house, and propose 5 story condos and when the city turns it down, I sue.
Jerry is right, no one is saying the property can't be developed; they are saying the property should not have homes on the hill tops.
I cannot believe how desperate "Stacey" is to ensure that Pleasanton has non-stop development. Everywhere she writes on this website she is advocating for development. She certainly does sound like somebody on the council who wants more developer money for her campaign. Sigh.

This article is a response to what others wrote on this Town Forum such as this: Web Link
"In the end, I agree with Stephen: it comes down to a choice of compromise now with some development so a park can be established and a huge section of hills can be permanently protected from development OR stopping this development now and working to eventually buy the land for parkland or create legislative restrictions that will render it undevelopable in hopes that the owners throw up their hands and donate it to take the tax write-off."
Posted by Patricia, a member of the Vintage Hills Elementary School community, on Dec 5, 2007 at 5:20 pm
Regarding the impact to the view of the hills, try to take a look at the property when driving around various parts of Pleasanton. The hilltops are most visible if you are north of the property and east of or at El Charro. If you drive south on Valley towards Stanley they are partially visible but about the same height as Kottinger Ranch. If you drive south down Santa Rita or Hopyard you can't see them over the trees. If you drive east on Bernal from Foothill or 680, you see Kottinger Ranch homes. So the visual impact is highly selective depending upon where in Pleasanton you are. Contrast that with the visibility of the Pleasanton Ridge, which can be seen over the treetops from almost anywhere in Pleasanton.
a resident of Amberwood/Wood Meadows
on Dec 19, 2007 at 10:29 pm
Furthermore, the parkland that is created by this Oak Grove agreement will prevent development on almost 500 acres _within_ the Urban Growth Boundary through the conservation easements that will be established. Seems like a much safer method to prevent development to me.

OROVILLE — One month after 20 elementary grade children and six adults were killed at Sandy Hook School in Newtown, Conn., a special education teacher in Oroville is wrapping up a project that eased her feelings over the incident and helped provide an outlet for her own students to gain something positive from the tragedy.
Earlier this week, Judy Tatom, along with several of her Mesa Vista School students and staff, decorated bulletin boards at the Butte County Office of Education with dozens of paper snowflakes.
Snowflakes for Sandy Hook.
Tatom said she originally intended to send the snowflakes to Connecticut for the Sandy Hook students when they returned to a new school building after the holidays. But the Connecticut PTA sponsoring the project received so many, they asked people to set up displays and "winter wonderlands" at their own schools.
The shooting happened Dec. 14. Tatom said teachers and aides at Mesa Vista were aware of the tragedy, but the students weren't.
"It hit home because a lot of us are moms, as well as teachers and educators, and we thought that could easily have happened to us," she said.
Tatom acknowledged that afterward, she felt a strong need to do something constructive for the children in Newtown, and even more strongly to find a way to help her students understand the tragedy.
Many of the students at the BCOE Mesa Vista School are severely disabled, and many are low functioning. However, they do watch television and newscasts, Tatom said, so that was part of "the strong need" she said she felt.
There was another aspect of the tragedy that also compelled her.
"There was talk that the boy who did it was mentally ill," she noted. "It seemed important in the field we're in — we work with a lot of disabilities, and it was important as far as making sure we show compassion and also teach compassion"
Just before Mesa Vista closed for winter break, Tatom found the Connecticut PTA's request for snowflakes on a social media website.
"I thought, 'We could do that, that's easy enough," she said.
The idea snowballed. Tatom contacted staff at BCOE and asked them to make snowflakes and to get their friends and families involved. She also posted a request on her personal Facebook page.
"I got a huge response, probably 30 or 40 people," she said.
When the students returned to school on Jan. 7, they also began working on the project for short periods of time.
During that time, staff also talked to the kids about what happened at Sandy Hook School by using a simple curriculum obtained online at Unique Learning System/News2You.
Tatom said the staff emphasized that they are "sad for their friends at Sandy Hook, where many were hurt and where many of our friends are gone."
Tatom said a lot of the students just listened.
"It's hard to tell how much is truly understood," she said. "We know they go home and watch TV ... this is a way we could tell them and express it in a way that they might understand, and to let them know if they had questions or reactions, we would be there."
Tatom learned the Connecticut PTA wasn't accepting any more snowflakes during the winter break.
"It was kind of a bummer, but as a teacher, you always have to have a plan B," she said. "You take it in stride."
Tatom amassed around 200 snowflakes that people either dropped off at her home or mailed, along with the ones made at the school. She also took photographs during the process.
Although she plans to end the project today, the next step is finding a way to send some of the photos she took to Newtown so that Sandy Hook children and adults know people here care.
Even though the snowflakes won't be going to the Sandy Hook children, Tatom noted it was still important to do.
She said she learned it's really important to slow down and put some thought into the purpose of doing the project, which was to help her students learn about compassion and safety.
Tatom also said the shooting personally impacted her, and that her heart goes out to the parents.
"Being a mom, and as a teacher, when things go wrong, that's the last thing you want to have to tell parents," she said. "I feel there's a responsibility that you're supposed to protect them."
Tatom also doesn't want the memory of Sandy Hook to just fade away, and hopes to find some kind of fun activity the school can do every year in Sandy Hook's memory.
She would also like people to take the time to learn about Mesa Vista's student population and not pass judgment.
"They can bring so much to our lives," she said. "I know I'm a teacher, but they've taught me so much."

Steve Lopez
Psychologist to speak May 19 on schizophrenia
By Christopher Johnson
UTSA Culture and Policy Institute
(May 15, 2006)--Nationally renowned mental health researcher Steve Lopez will speak on minority mental illness from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m., Friday, May 19 in Business Building Room 3.01.02 at the UTSA 1604 Campus. The colloquium, free and open to the public, is the first in a series hosted by the UTSA South Texas Initiative for Mental-Health Research (STIMHR).
Lopez will speak on "Conceptions of Culture, Family Factors and Course of Schizophrenia," an academic talk to raise awareness and understanding of the roles of socio-cultural and family factors in schizophrenia.

A UCLA professor of clinical psychology, psychiatry and Chicana/o studies, Lopez was awarded the U.S. surgeon general's exemplary service award for his contributions to "Mental Health: Culture, Race and Ethnicity," a supplement to the surgeon general's report on mental health in the United States.
Published extensively, Lopez' research focuses on the interplay among socio-cultural factors, ethnicity and language as they contribute to serious mental disorders including schizophrenia and depression. In addition to exploring cultural perspectives in psychological assessment and clinical practice, he has helped advance knowledge regarding cultural competence and the quality of mental health care for Hispanics with mental disorders.
His research on cultural considerations in psychopathology, assessment and treatment interventions has appeared in such journals as Schizophrenia Research, Journal of Abnormal Psychology, Psychiatric Services and Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease.
Lopez' books include "Handbook of Chicana/o Psychology," "Psychopathology: Foundations for Contemporary Understanding" and "Family Interventions in Mental Illness: International Perspectives."

That's a lot of $'s worth :-D
I own almost 30 1911's ...over half of them are Commander sized models. I have also built about 8 1911's from parts using Essex and Caspian frames....lots of fun..
That's a lot of $'s worth :-D
1911'a are pretty fun guns to play with. There are so many things a person can do with one... I bought a basic Colt Government model one time and customized the holy stuffin out of it, then I gave it to my Marine Son... I love to just disassemble and reassemble the 1911 they are so well designed! Too bad Colt stopped making them, I'd of thought it would have been their bread and butter gun...
30! Good gosh, I don't think I've had that many guns in all total, added togeather... Times two!
I just picked this up last Sunday. I will have to put a few hundred more rounds through it before I will completely trust my life with it.
That is a really nice Kimber
If you get tired of it and want to give it away one day, I would be willing to take it off your hands

text: Dec 19 10:53 AM CT By Calvin Watkins | ESPNDallas.com IRVING, Texas -- One of the things the Cowboys liked about safety Danny McCray is his ability to make open field tackles. But over time, McCray improved his ability to cover receivers and tight ends giving the defensive coaches confidence in his ability in pass coverage. While McCray hasn't given up a touchdown, he's coming off the field in dime coverage for Eric Frampton. "Danny is just banging away," coach Jason Garrett said Wednesday morning when asked about the safety. "He's been dealing with some injuries all year long, he's another one of those tough guys who everybody just loves to be around because he keeps playing. He plays a lot on defense, plays a lot on special teams; So there have been a couple of things that haven't gotten his way, there's no question about that, but he's working hard and he's trying to get better, he's playing through a lot of different things."

Jan. 6, 2012
Former UT star, Knoxville native and longtime NFL executive Reggie McKenzie has agreed to become the new general manager of the Oakland Raiders.
» CATCHING UP WITH REGGIE & RALEIGH McKENZIE
McKenzie has spent the past 18 season in Green Bay's personnel department and is widely respected in the scouting industry.
The Raiders will hold a press conference on Tuesday, January 10th at 2:00 pm, at which time additional information will be provided.
The Raiders opted to reorganize their football operations department following the death of owner Al Davis this season. Davis made all football-related decisions, from hiring coaches and other staff to having final say on draft picks and free agency.
Here is his profile from the Green Bay Packers:
Reggie McKenzie enters his 25th year in the NFL and his 18th season as a member of the Packers' personnel department. Since he joined the team's front office in 1994, Green Bay's 170 regular-season wins over that period rank tied for third most with Indianapolis, trailing only Pittsburgh (172) and New England (180). Also in McKenzie's tenure, the Packers have captured seven division titles, three conference championships and Super Bowls XXXI and XLV.
A former player, coach and now personnel executive, McKenzie oversees Green Bay's scouting efforts of all professional football leagues, including the NFL, CFL and Arena Football League, as well as all other pro leagues and international players. He also plays an integral role in judging the Packers' current players and evaluating potential free agents across the league. McKenzie is heavily involved in all of the team's moves on a daily basis, including all tryouts and transactions.
During the season, McKenzie provides advance scouting reports on upcoming opponents, working closely with Head Coach Mike McCarthy and his staff. He also contributes to the scouting of college prospects, making school visits in both the fall and spring, and works in conjunction with General Manager Ted Thompson in preparation for the annual draft.
He was promoted to director - football operations in 2008 after serving 10 years as the Packers' director of pro personnel. A former NFL linebacker for seven seasons (1985-90, 1992), the 48-year-old McKenzie had been promoted to director of pro personnel by then-Executive Vice President/General Manager Ron Wolf in May 1997 after originally joining the Packers as a pro personnel assistant in 1994.
Chosen by Wolf as a 10th-round selection out of the University of Tennessee in 1985 by the then-Los Angeles Raiders, McKenzie became an immediate starter on defense and went on to win all-rookie honors. After four years (1985-88) with the Raiders, McKenzie spent two injury-plagued seasons (1989-90) with the then-Phoenix Cardinals and one year (1992) with the San Francisco 49ers.
Prior to signing with the 49ers, he played with the World League's Montreal Machine in the spring of 1992. While out of football in 1991, McKenzie spent a season as a defensive coach for Dorsey High School in south central Los Angeles.
In 1993, McKenzie returned to Tennessee and served as an assistant under head coach Philip Fulmer. That year, the Volunteers appeared in the Florida Citrus Bowl and landed one of the nation's top recruiting classes, highlighted by QB Peyton Manning. While back in Knoxville, McKenzie also pursued a master's degree in education administration.
Born in Knoxville, Tenn., on Feb. 8, 1963, McKenzie earned a bachelor's degree in business administration with an emphasis in personnel management at Tennessee. A two-way football star at Austin East High School in Knoxville, McKenzie was valedictorian of his 1981 graduating class. His twin brother, Raleigh, also attended Tennessee and enjoyed a 16-year NFL career, including his final two seasons with Green Bay (1999-2000), before he retired in 2001.
McKenzie and his wife, June, a Green Bay attorney, have two daughters, Jasmin, 19, who attends Wheaton College in Illinois and Mahkayla, 17, who will enroll at Duke University in the fall. He also has two sons, Reginald Kahlil, 14, and Jalen Elijah, 12. In his spare time, McKenzie enjoys spending time with his family and assisting with youth sports in the Green Bay area.

We are NOT A SHELTER with a single physical location. Instead, we are a national network of volunteers working to help re-home Cairns in need.
We began as a small internet community of people trying to help one of their members through the heartache of losing a little Cairn named Col. Potter. In the weeks that followed that simple process of showing care and support, a national Cairn terrier rescue was born. It filled a void to serve a wonderful, randomly protected, and sometimes misunderstood breed. Cairns can have every kind of personality, from laid back to intensely lively; most fall somewhere in between.
Our rescue attracts caring foster homes who will provide guidance and love; sometimes for the first time in a rescued Cairn's life. Our foster homes also provide an honest, realistic evaluation of each Cairn's personality, so an approved applicant can expect to be matched with a Cairn whose traits and behaviors fit their lifestyle.
At present, Col. Potter has just under 200 foster homes all over the United States. If you think you would like to foster, or volunteer in some other capacity, we welcome your interest: Volunteer Opportunities
If there isn't a Cairn in the Mid West region for you, there may be one soon, or there may be one in another region that's just perfect for you.
Some of our adoptive families choose to fly to the city where their Cairn is being fostered, and carry the dog back in-cabin. Many of our Cairns can be flown cargo. Cargo air travel for a pet is $100-$220, depending on the distance. Or if an adoptive home is within driving distance of a Cairn's foster home, a transport can sometimes be arranged if the adoptive home can drive part of the distance. A small mileage fee is required if a transport is arranged. Please note: Visits prior to adoption are only possible if you live in the same city as the Cairn you have been approved to adopt.
The Col. Potter adoption process is structured to find permanent homes that understand the breed - or are willing to learn.
Please read our Frequently Asked Questions prior to filling out an application. Each Cairn's write up has a link to the Adoption Application
If you are owned by a Cairn or two, or simply love Cairns and would like to know more about them, our website Col. Potter Cairn Rescue Network has a wealth of information.Petfinder lists just a few of the Cairns we have waiting for loving homes.

Want more time off? Some employers let you buy it
WASHINGTON - Want more time off work to hang out at the beach? Need some cash and have vacation days to spare?
Some companies allow their workers to buy and sell vacation time. It's a perk that gives workers more flexibility in managing their time off.
This approach might help employees buy some extra days off for the trip of a lifetime or spending more time with a newborn. Co-workers could sell unused days for extra money.
A soon-to-be released survey by the Society for Human Resource Management finds that 9 percent of employers let workers cash out unused vacation time.
Five percent let employees buy additional vacation days through a payroll deduction, and 7 percent allowed employees to donate vacation time to a pool that can be used by other workers.
