My wedding anniversary. My children and wife's birthday. CES (Consumer Electronic Show).
Answer: Top 3 things I look forward to each year.
January 1st is always very difficult for me. Not because I am recovering from a few too many toasts the night before (although that might or might not be a reality) but because of the anticipation of what this year's CES will present. Who is going to "bring it"? Which innovator has answered my plea from the year before?
CES 2009 brought us 82" HD LED displays, blacker blacks and the first major proliferation of accessories for mobile phones by almost every exhibitor. (see last year's post http://blog.thebuddygroup.com/2009/01/24/ces-tbg-plays-a-small-part-in-a-great-conference/) Fraught with budget cuts and layoffs, attendance was low and the floor lacked energy and optimism.
Fast forward one year to CES 2010. The techonomics pendulum has swung in the opposite direction boosting energy, optimism and buyer outlook.
Here are a few observations, based on what I saw and the conversations with friends old and new, as well as some of the highlights (in my humble opinion).
- Smart phone will rapidly be referred to as a connected device…with a phone. What connected device you carry will depend on your ability to connect to stay connected to the internet 24/7 and form factor. All devices are quickly becoming app ready, web-services connected and multi-purposed.
- Integrated and connectedness between devices will create amazing efficiencies for consumers but also complications for manufacturers as content and integration "deals" have be made at break neck speed.
- Refinement of product features and improvement of use cases over big swell innovation for a few more years ahead
- 3D content creation tools are here but I still need stupid glasses to view them (for good quality).
My favorite innovation this year was found at a small little booth in the North Hall by a company called ThinkOptics, Inc. Manned with a table, an iphone and a 42" display their iWavit hardware and software turns your smart phone into the "ultimate remote control". What is so compelling about this product is the ease of use and infinitive possibilities. In just 5 minutes, I watched founder and CTS Anders Grunnet-Jespen, Ph.D. effortlessly setup the device to control his TV, media center AND computer. That is all fine and dandy, but when the device allowed him to change channels on the TV and then switch over (with one click) to the PC and point and move the mouse (like a Wii remote) and control his computer screen, I knew I found the device for me. Too bad it is not for sale yet…I hope some of my other favorite connected devices take note. This is going to be huge.

Wavit.com- my best of
3D hardware continues to be all the rage. For me, its cool, but I can't see it becoming mass in each home unless the user can "switch" between 3D and standard 1080p. Even then, for good quality you have to wear those stupid glasses and let me tell you, with two kids in the house and two dogs, I have a hard enough time keeping my regular glasses from getting broken or lost. Nonetheless, for 3D to take off, it has to be easier to create that content. Panasonic showed off their new camera with a live display. I shot a quick video to show what the camera looks like.

Where should we mount this flat panel? Well, if it is truly flat then it really doesn't matter. Introducing the world slimmest full LED by LG. No words needed…just watch the video

Life is Good with LG…that is for sure.
Intel made quite an impact on me as they do every year. Their new ATOM processor is about the size of 5 grains of rice. But what was really cool was their interactive cube display. The presenter had a laptop that allowed her to control the search and display parameters real time. Little sliders on her display changed what we as an interactive user saw as options for searching and interacting. What was really impressive was that there did not to seem to be a limit on the amount of people who could touch and click on the screens at once. I suppose that was the point…thanks Intel.

Intel Interactive out of home display
I also found a fun little product called Beamz. Beamz is a professional interactive instrument. Each laser beam controls a different instrument, rhythm or sound effect. I watched the DJ go back and forth between scratching vinyl and using the Beamz and must say, Beamz is much more interesting to watch. It is a real art form. Click here to watch the video Beamz- each laser mean controls a different instrument, rhythem or sound effect
All in all a great trip. There was not enough time to catch up with everyone but it was good to connect with those we rand into on the floor and in suites. We even enjoyed an evening out to see Cirque's Love (@cirque) along with a backstage tour. Truly a great experience.

Entered the wrong Latin name for the Three-wattled Bellbird, the correct Latin name is Procnias tricarunculatus
A Bit More Birding
Morning all,
Yesterday was a blowy (25kts), rainy, overcast day in Boquete, Chiriqui, Rep of Panama. We decided to go out birding anyway hoping to see something, expecting nothing. What a surprise, we got to watch several Three-wattled Bellbirds (Procnias tricarunculatus) doing mating activities. The best of them has the male and female in one shot. Those who have "chased" the elusive Bellbird will appreciate. The male is the white head, the female is the yellowish-brown.
The location was Peterson's Finca Lerida in Alto Quiel, above Boquete town in the province of Chiriqui, Rep of Panama. Altitude 5000ft to 6000ft.
The photos are a bit washed out and soft, but shooting into a strong backlight and into trees what were moving in the wind, offered its challenges to get any photo. All were take with an Oly E-M5 on a Swaro ATX95@30x to 45x via a Swaro TLS-APO.
As Departure Approaches
Soon it will be time to shake off the activities of winter in Panama, and head to the States and Canada for this years adventures of Conepatus. The plan is to launch at Prince Rupert, British Columbia and cruise the northern end of British Columbia and SE Alaska as far as Haines.
Meanwhile at the farm we decided to do a bit of "digiscoping", that is taking pictures through a spotting scope, on the Pipeline trail in Boquete, Chiriqui. We lucked out and got a few reasonable photos.
Also did some "scoping" on the Caribbean slope of the continental divide a couple of weeks back. These are a few of those photos.
While working on this, I did a bit of baking. Sourdough bread to die for.
Birding Peterson's Finca Lerida
Decided that I needed to start digiscoping, that is taking photos through a spotting scope with a digital camera. So I ordered a Swarovski ATX 95 spotting scope and all the bits and pieces that one needed to shoot photos through the scope.
Of course with my luck I was short one small piece to connect my Olympus E-M5 to the scope, and being impatient, I took these two photos with my Samsung S3 smart phone. While not stellar, the are usable for the blog.
These photos were taken on Volcan Baru at about 1950 meters of altitude on the Peterson's new finca (farm). We were hoping to see the ornate hawk eagle, but he took off the day we were on the farm. There are also reports of a umbrella bird there, and that would be a new one for me. Also sighted on our trip was the bell bird, but missed getting a photo.I will get more up as I shoot them after I get the adaptor ring I need.
Arriving home at our finca, I saw a very rare "sky goose" …. ok, so use a little imagination. This time of year we get some great "colored" or rainbow skies.
Winter Hobbies in Panama
Morning all,
While you in the north are shivering in you boots, down here in Panama we enjoy a bit of birding. Hope you enjoy the photos, as they are shot with a handheld camera, and so are not the sharpest, but still nice.
We bird here in Panama most every month with the Boquete Birders group, and of course watch the birds that come to the feeder at our house and surrounding trees.
Back at the Finca
We arrived back at the finca just a coffee picking season was starting. Today 20 January we are doing the last of the picking. Picking is hard, manual labor, pickinb cherries one at a time to assure we have only the ripe beans.
Not a bad crop this year, but the "broca", coffee bean borer, has arrived at the finca. This pest is very hard to control, as the larve develop in the coffee bean and destroy the bean. If left uncontrolled, you can loose 70-80% of the harvest.
We are implementing a trapping campaign, finca sanitation (getting all coffee bean off the ground), and an active fungus to combat the CBB. We shall see next year how the measures work
The avocados and citrus this year was great. High oil avocados gave a taste treat this year. Also this year the citrus was free of medfly larve and Mexican fly larve. Good year for the oranges. Also got the first fruit from the pink grapefruit … promises to be a good producer in a couple of years.
Photos Up To Date
The photos for the 2013 Conepatus adventure are all uploaded. Cannot seem to find the month of September photos, so I guess those will go lacking. If I run across them, I will add them.

The restaurant sources 80 percent of their menu from local farms, much of which Rudolph picks up himself alongside Chef de Cuisine Daniel Gomez Sanchez—a remarkable feat for such a busy hotel restaurant. Sanchez gives an elegant spin to local produce in dishes like his granité of sole with creamy parsnip pain perdu, while Pastry Chef Mellisa Root puts out a stunning menu of desserts in bright colors and delightful textures. Wine Director Paul Mekis seamlessly pulls it all together, pouring refined wine pairings that dance with the cuisine and curating a list that offers something to please every one of his Silicon Valley clientele.Recommended Dishes:

There's one thing about Kansas State track coach Cliff Rovelto. Like it or not, he tells it like it is.
In years past there were years when the Wildcat coach has predicted his men's or women's teams to be sixth or seventh in the Big 12 … on a good day.
This year, however, Rovelto says of his men's team, "This is as good a men's team that I've ever had here from a conference perspective. (Pause) Honestly, it could be the best team ever at Kansas State. We have people all over our Top 10 all-time rankings, we have people who can win events, and we have events where we might have two of the top three or four placings, or three of the top four or five."
That's the thinking of the K-State track guru entering this week's Big 12 Conference Indoor Track and Field Championships slated for Iowa State University on Friday and Saturday.
On the men's side, he says, "I think Texas might have a slight edge on paper, but we're right there, and Oklahoma and Texas Tech are right on our heels. I think those will be the top four and there's not a huge gap between them."
K-State finished eighth in last year's indoor meet and has not been in the league's top half since placing fifth in 2006. The Wildcats highest ever finish was a second in 2004.
For the KSU women's team, "We're a very, very good team, but I think we'll be a great team a year from now. Right now we just don't have enough bodies to compete to win a title like we do for the men.
"We have three girls (Alex Treasure, high jump; Laura Gavan, distances; and Shannon Parr, multi-events) who could be significant scorers for us, but are not competing due to injury. I really think we're looking at the fifth or sixth range for a team finish," said Rovelto.
The Wildcats were ninth a year ago and last top-half finish was a fifth in 2005. KSU's highest ever Big 12 finish was a second in 2001.
POSSIBLE BIG 12 CHAMPIONS: Olympic Silver Medalist Erik Kynard will be out to defend his Big 12 indoor title with a nation-leading clearance of 7-7 3/4 this past weekend in Ahearn Field House.
"Erik's ready to jump high. He's been in four competitions and has averaged over 7-6 in those meets. That's pretty good," said Rovelto. "He needed the competition this past week to see higher bars in a meet. His last attempt at 2.38 (7-9) was pretty good."
The Wildcat in the spotlight on the track will be Carlos Rodriguez, who set the school record in the 200 this year at 21.01, plus has a 6.69 clocking in the 60.
"He's run really, really fast, but I know he can run faster," said Rovelto. "He's run well in big meets back in Puerto Rico, so I don't think the Big 12 will bother him. He's run faster than anyone else on a flat 200 track, and he's run faster than anyone on a banked 200 track. He's clearly the best 200 runner we've ever had, and only behind Terence Newman in the 60. He's good now, but is only going to get better."
Other league leaders in their individual events are Kyle Wait in the pole vault (17-8 ½ ) and Devin Dick (5,465) in the heptathlon.

New York, December 22: A new dating site catering to young Muslims has been launched.
The site, Hipstershaadi.com, allows young Muslims to find their match on their own terms, the Christian Science Monitor reported.
According to the site's Facebook page, it is aimed at catering to the people who are "tired of all the 'possibilities' the aunties keep bringing up at every get-together".
Several users revealed that finding a Muslim who matches their level of piety has been a daunting task.
The project was created by Sheereen Nourollahi, an Iranian-American, and Humaira Mubeen, a Pakistani-American, who said that the site provides a space to come, maybe not for marriage, but at least to "test the waters". (ANI)

Intel GM965/GL960 Integrated Video and also WebCam bugs in Fedora 14
I have several problems with Fedora 14 on my ASUS F9E laptop.
1) The integrated video card wasn't detected correctly, so now it works with default VESA driver and with resolution 1024x768. On previous system, Fedora 11, there was maximal resolution, 1280x800.
Initially I couldn't run "normal installation" from DVD because it stops at devices detecting stage (only black screen and nothing happens). So I chose "install with basic video driver" variant. But when I have booted from LiveCD there was no such problem, resolution is 1280x800 and fonts and other images are clear.

$lspci | grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
I have found the same problem when I was trying to resolve this one:
Similar cases were found in earlier versions of Fedora or other linux distributives, and their solutions contained manipulations with "xorg.conf". Now there is no same way to configure video, and so they don't work.
2) Web camera shows "head over heels" picture, and I cannot use flash light led on it.
How can I resolve these problems?
When I wrote about camera, I resolved first part of problem with it. In "Cheese" application I set "head over heels" effect instead of "No effects". After closing the program this setting was saved, and then camera shows correct picture. :)

PARKERSBURG -The Mountaineers are coming!
Members of the West Virginia University football team -including all the local players -will be the guests for the 15th annual Steak & Burger Dinner, set for 6 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 27, at the Grand Pointe Conference and Reception Center in Vienna.
The dinner serves as a fundraiser for the Boys and Girls Club of Parkersburg.

Josh Jenkins of Parkersburg High School (77) and Cody Nutter of Parkersburg South (87) will be among the West Virginia University football players who will attend the 15th annual Steak & Burger Dinner on Jan. 27 at the Grand Pointe Conference and Reception Center in Vienna. The event is a fundraiser for the Boys & Girls Club of Parkersburg.
In addition to Parkersburg High School graduates Josh Jenkins and Matt Lindamood and Parkersburg South graduate Cody Nutter, other Mountaineers expected to be in attendance are Geno Smith, Coley White, Tavon Austin, Shawne Alston, Bradley Starks, Keith Tandy, Tyler Urban and Najee Goode.
The idea for the Steak and Burger Dinner originated with Mike Flanagan, the long-time executive director of the Boys & Girls Club, and Allan Johnson, the Wood County middle school athletics coordinator, who was serving as the strength and conditioning coach at WVU at the time. Little did the duo know then just how successful and popular the banquet would become.
Flanagan estimates it has raised more than $300,000 for the Boys and Girls Club. Never one to rest on his laurels, Flanagan has set a lofty goal of raising $45,000 from this year's dinner.
If you want to see how the money has been used, stop by the Mary Street facility and take a look at the gymnasium, which has received a new floor and a fresh paint job.
Thanks to many local businesses pitching in and reducing their prices, the gymnasium looks like new. More than $100,000 in renovations were completed at the club during the past year. Yet, there is much work to be done at the facility, which has more than 1,000 members and provides a place for local youth to gather and participate in sports and educational pursuits.
Cost for a single ticket to the dinner is $100 and provides a hamburger dinner for the purchaser and a steak dinner for a member of the Boys and Girls Club.
Corporate tables are $1,000 and are good for eight members of a firm plus two members of the Boys and Girls Club.
Flanagan already has secured sponsorships for the tables representing the four Wood County High Schools and their football programs. SABIC International Plastics is sponsoring Parkersburg Catholic High School, Williamstown National Bank is the sponsor for Williamstown High School, Keith and Tina Tipton are the sponsors for Parkersburg High and BB&T is sponsoring Parkersburg South.
The Steak & Burger Dinner is one of several funding methods the Boys and Girls Club uses to maintain its facility and to keep its membership prices low.
The annual Kids Classic Golf Tournament, underwritten by United Bank, traditionally raises more than $100,000.
The club also receives grants from through organizations such as the Parkersburg Area Community Foundation and the Henry Logan Childrens Home.
Each ticketholder may bring one item to be autographed by the Mountaineer players.
In addition, Chapman Printing and the Boys and Girls Club will provide photos of the players that they also will sign. A live auction featuring WVU sports items will be conducted.
Deadline for purchasing a ticket is Friday, Jan. 21. To reserve a table or purchase a ticket, call the Boys and Girls Club at 304-485-6434 or 304-485-6435. Flanagan can be reached at 304-615-9946.

Your Laser Printer is a Government Spy, Maybe
It's old news in a sense (see this story from PC World, for example), but the story on tracking codes built into laser printers is worth repeating for those not familiar with the details. The Electronic Frontier Foundation has compiled resources that explain the details behind the practice.
Most laser printers will not only print a page, but will embed on the page a tracking code based on the serial number of the printer and the date and time the document was printed. Xerox pioneered this practice more than 20 years ago to help identify counterfeiters who use laser printers to create fake currency. The EFF, however, is more concerned with the other uses that these hidden codes can use. The organization has filed FOIA requests with the United States Secret Service asking for details as to how the technology is implemented, and how the Sercret Service and other government agencies is using the technology in non-counterfeiting circumstances.
The EFF's resource page with links to more information is here.

An Ocean--and a Possible Home for Life--on Europa
9 April 1997 8:00 pm
Planetary scientists reported today that they have persuasive evidence for a deep ocean below the icy surface of Jupiter's moon Europa. New images from the Galileo spacecraft show features that bear an eerie resemblance to the ice floes of the Arctic Ocean, researchers told a NASA press conference today. An ocean, they noted, would give Europa a potential habitat for life. Some members of the Galileo team, however, aren't ready to take the plunge.
When Galileo began returning images of Europa late last year, planetary scientists realized that something has been disrupting large areas of the moon, squeezing up ridges, rifting open cracks, and crumpling some areas into thoroughly chaotic terrain. Last month at the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference in Houston, team member Clark Chapman of the Southwest Research Institute in Boulder, Colorado, argued that the striking dearth of meteorite craters on some parts of Europa implies that such reshaping of the surface is still happening.
Now Galileo has provided an even sharper view of the surface, convincing several researchers that a thin layer of ice floating on liquid water is the best explanation for this jumbled terrain. The new images reveal what seem to be kilometers-long slabs of ice obviously broken off and drifting in a "sea" of small bits, say these researchers. "These are icebergs," says Galileo team member Paul Geissler of the University of Arizona. He and fellow team member Michael Carr of the U.S. Geological Survey in Menlo Park, California, argue that the circulation of a warm ocean has partially melted the ice crust and dragged the "icebergs" around. Geissler adds that a red-brown coloration in the disrupted areas "marks the waterline of a murky, possibly muddy ocean not too far below the surface," perhaps a couple of kilometers down.
"It's a bold hypothesis that probably has some staying power," says team member Robert Sullivan of Arizona State University, "but there's room there for some surprises." Team member Robert Pappalardo of Brown University agrees: "I don't think we have proof of an ocean." He says that ice could have moved around on top of ductile ice instead of an ocean.

I can handle anything

Don't you f***in' pity me
Get up, get off
What the hell am I sayin'?
I don't know about malevolent
Sure as hell decadent
I want somebody to step up, step off
Walls! Let me fall! F*** you all!
Get a grip, don't let me slip 'til I drop the ball!
F*** this s***, I'm sick of it
You're goin' down, this is a war!
Who the f*** am I to criticize your twisted state of mind?
You're leavin' me suspect, I'm leavin' you grotesque
Feels like a burn from which you never learn

Press you face against the glass, suffer

Day 5
Wow. I make it out of bed when the alarm goes off at 7am yet again. I take a look in the mirror and wonder whether I'm imagining things or whether the samples of cream that Sarah gave me at the weekend are already starting to work their magic. Is that possible? I'm not sure. I ask M to inspect my forehead. "Don't you think the creases are disappearing???" M laughs, but agrees my skin does indeed look healthier today. I've had some sneaky bits of gluten filled food, so I can't blame it on the diet. Dr Perricone may indeed be my new best friend. (http://www.perriconemd.com/). Apparently this is miraculous anti ageing stuff. I'm at the point where I'll give anything a whirl. Feels like I've been beaten up and haggard by all of the harsh cancer treatments for the longest time now and have kind of given up on the idea of ever looking youthful again. It's all natural and it slots in perfectly with the new g-free lifestyle. In C's words "it's a healthier way of life".
For the record, I'm taking Pericone MD nutriceuticals: DMAE with Tocotrienols Complex (food for the skin apparently). I'm applying Advanced Eye Area Therapy, Advanced Face Firming Activator, More Than Moisture SPF 30 to my face daily. Watch this space…
Breakfast is less elaborate today – I've spent far too much time staring in the mirror admiring my potentially diminishing wrinkles. C has his herbs, gets dressed, eats some cornflakes and yoghurt and stands at the door ready to go to school. I love the new C. Life is so much easier this way.
We troop to school. I'm volunteering in the classroom this morning and with T in tow we watch the beginning of the class day. I watch in awe at the kids pledging the allegiance to the flag and realize that I have made a big cultural faux pas by not putting my hand to my chest. Mental note to self: Must put hand to chest next time I watch my children pledge their allegiance to the flag!
It's fun to spend some time in the classroom and I wonder whether C has managed to be more focused yet. He has seemed a ton happier at the end of his school days this week already. Fingers crossed!
We get home and my landlady calls to ask if I'm interested in having a beehive put into the garden. She is super excited and is planning to have one installed in her garden this weekend. There is apparently only a short window of opportunity – the next 2 weeks to do this. We'd talked about it some weeks back, as we have a swarm of friendly honey bees that inhabits our chimney. I thought that it'd be amazing to harvest honey from them, rather than it all go to waste in the chimney pot. I'm now not sure that I can handle becoming a bee keeper at this point in time on top of everything else. I think that I may watch and learn from my friend this year and maybe take up bee keeping next year. Still undecided.
T and I then pick up his swim partner friend and his mom and dash into the city for the weekly swim lesson. We are a little late as I became a tad engrossed in the bee discussion. I'm mostly always late…
T has lessons every week in a group of 4 kids. We 4 moms – and also one of the dads – chat every week about this and that as we oo and coo over our kids doggy paddling around the pool. This week I tell my gluten free saga. I know that one of the moms has talked about having allergies before and know that her little girl isn't allowed bread, but I have no idea to what extent they need to avoid certain foods. I am quickly in awe of Jennifer's in depth knowledge of food. She knows what is good and bad in everything it seems to me. She is also incredibly dedicated to making so much food from scratch – her own sauerkraut, her own roasted nuts, her own varieties of nut butters. I suggest that she starts a cottage industry called 'Jennifer's Nuts'. She may be nuts, but she's smart. ;-). Check out her blog at: http://mommajenskitchen.blogspot.com
She very kindly posts a couple of recipes/flour mix ideas for me:
Flour Mix from Food Allergy Survival Guide:
3 cups potato or tapioca starch
2 cups chickpea/garbanzo flour
2 cups brown or white rice flour
1 cup arrowroot starch
This can be kept in a jar or airtight container for months. It seems to almost behave like wheat flour, which makes it nice for substitutions. FYI, though, the potato flour is SUPER absorbent. I much prefer the tapioca starch for consistency.
Super-easy one bowl muffins:
12 muffins
2 cups flour mix
1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon guar gum or 1 egg, beaten
large pinch of salt
2 cups nondairy milk or water
1/2 cup coconut oil, grapeseed oil or ghee, softened
Preheat the oven to 375F. Line a 12 cup muffin tin with baking cups. Blend together all dry ingredients: flour mix, guar gum (if using it), salt, in large bowl. Whisk in milk or water, oil and blend until smooth. (Add egg here if you're using it instead of guar gum.)
Spoon into cups being careful not to overfill. Bake until lightly browned, and when cake tester or toothpick comes out smooth from middle of a muffin, about 25 minutes. Cool on a rack.
These will be best the same day and still tasty the next am. After that, freeze them and they'll keep a long while.
The muffins can be varied with just about any blend of fruit, nuts, spices, etc.
After a lovely stroll along Crissy Fields and our weekly coffee at the Warming Hut (http://www.presidio.gov/experiences/visitor.htm), we head back to sunny Mill Valley to pick up C from school. He has just had a drama class and his teacher remarks on the fact that she is impressed that he knew and remembered his lines. We've been practicing the past few days and I'm so relieved that it has paid off and that the words have sunk in. Maybe his focus is improving?!
We then head to Boyle Park for tennis (http://www.boyleparktennis.com/), but the honeymoon is over and C gets tired and wants to stop half way through the lesson. I keep him going with a banana and have some rice crackers on hand. He is fed up with the snacks that I have to offer and wants something more tasty. My search for tasty snacks to have on hand when we are on the go will continue.
After having drenched himself and his little brother in the creek at the park and the dog having managed to get a handful of kids to dutifully throw a tennis ball for him we head back to another cooking session. I make a mental note to check C's lunchbox and wonder whether he didn't like the food again and was so hungry and tired because of that.
It turns out that the contents of the lunchbox were gone. I asked whether he liked his food today and the answer was yes. Result! Today, I'd given him Quinoa pasta with some veg and really wasn't sure if he'd like it or not. He really liked it. Great! I discovered Quinoa when I was going through my radiaton treatment last year. It's important to eat a lot of protein while your cells are having the hell zapped out of them and so Quinoa was recommended to me by the Cancer Care Center. I've been calling it 'Kwi-Noah' ever since, but my lovely friend pointed out to me the other day that it is in fact pronounce 'Kwee-Noire'. Ah well. The Quinoa pasta brand is Andean Dream (http://www.adreamshopping.com/).
Tonight I make an organic chicken risotto. It tastes amazing (although I say so myself) and we all enjoy it. I just wish I'd made more!
G-free moms organic chicken risotto:
3 tablespoons butter (or earth Best Buttery spread – gluten free)
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 celery stalk, 1 carrot, 1 onion. All finely chopped.
8 chicken thighs (I use the Trader Joes organic ones and then cut each one in half)
11oz (350g) Aborio rice
2 pints (1.2 l) organic chicken stock
Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter (or spread) with the oil in a large pan.
Add the celery, carrot and onion and sauté for 2 minutes.
Add the chicken in a single layer, turn up the heat and brown for 8-10 minutes.
Make sure chicken is coked by piercing with a tooth pick and then remove the meat and keep it warm in a low oven.
Add the rice and cook for one minute.
Then slowly start adding the stock, stirring frequently until cooked – about 20 minutes.
Add the remaining butter before serving. If you can eat cheese also add a couple of tablespoons of fresh parmesan.

So You Want To Squirt: "Tristan Taormino's Expert Guide To Female Ejaculation"
For many, female ejaculation feels like the great white whale of female sexuality: rumored to be out there, but near impossible to actually experience firsthand. But according to Tristan Taormino, things needn't be so fraught. After all, "Every woman has a gspot, so every woman has the potential to ejaculate."
Studio: Vivid
Director: Tristan Taormino
Cast: Kaci Starr, Anthony Rosano, Dylan Ryan, Mr. Marcus, Kylie Worthy, Derrick Pierce, Jada Fire, Christian XXX
If you've seen any of Tristan's recent expert guides, the format for this one will be familiar: an opening lecture, covering all the educational bases (and intercut with helpful pornographic clips), followed by a handful of scenes in which performers put Tristan's lessons to (very) good use. In this installment, Tristan covers the basics of squirting and then some. In addition to a helpful anatomy lesson and advice on how to pursue the great gush, there's talk about how PC muscle strength can effect the form of female ejaculation, the many different toys and positions that can help unlock ejaculate, and–my personal favorite part–plenty of porn performers discussing their own personal experiences with female ejaculation (both as the ejaculator and the ejaculated upon).
And then, of course, it's on to the hardcore stuff. You may be aware that many squirt porn movies just fake the whole thing; rest assured that Tristan Taormino engages in none of those shenanigans. The female cast of this film is made up of bona fide squirters–and it's fascinating to see the many different ways that they squirt (and the different things that make them squirt).
As with all of Tristan's movies, it's a little hard to pick a favorite scene–though if pressed, I'd have to say that the Kylie Worthy's insanely prolific squirting (caught in a very close up shot), combined with her fantastic rapport with Derrick Pierce (who seems like he may be her real life partner) really made an impression on me. But I loved watching Anthony Rosano finger (and butt finger) Kaci Starr, former "Squirtwoman" Jada Fire squeal with pleasure as Christian XXX tended to her needs, and, well, just about everything that happened between Dylan Ryan and Mr. Marcus (though, sadly, this scene loses points for being a repeat–it originally appeared in the equally fantastic "Expert Guide to Female Orgasms").
It should be noted that even with Tristan's excellent advice, and all this amazing inspiration, you may find that you or your partner still can't make the squirting happen at home. After all, there are some women who just can't squirt–or, as Tristan suggests in a delightfully nerdy factoid, may just be squirting internally. But even if you're not personally partaking in the joy of squirting, you can still enjoy the fun being had in this film…and trust us, there's a whole lot of that to enjoy.

Letting Go of Judging People
After I wrote a mysilentscream post on not judging others I read Letting Go of Judging People By Leo Babauta. I liked it, and I thought that you would too.
Letting Go of Judging People 1
One of the best changes I've made to help me be happier is learning to see judging other people as a red flag.
Now, I'm not going to pretend I don't ever judge other people — I think it's either a built-in method all humans have, or something we develop because of built-in methods. We all judge people, and I'm not an exception.
Frigid Temps Frozen Hearts
A tank of gas
A charged battery
Approaching the car
With a silent plea
A capable driver
Determined as could be
Key in the ignition
Cranked one-two-three
A pause to regather
A second attempt
A hope and a prayer
Discouragement tempt
Barely a flicker
Not even a purr
The car didn't start
A frozen heart.
Frozen Heart
I have TWO hearts!
One warmed by love.
One frozen in the freezer.
Too often the frozen heart has been more obvious.
I'm so busy caring about my wants, I forget to care about their needs.
19 Proven Relationship Tips from Lizzy & Bueno
I've spent more than twenty years "Inspiring Great Relationships Every Day." I enjoy when I can pass on something I am learning, but many times in those conversations it was me who was the learner.
Today was no different.
Today I sat down with my friends Lizzy and Bueno. We laughed. We told stories. We love gardening so we exchanged seeds. And we talked.
In a world desperate for positive role models, over the past three years Lizzy and Bueno have been role models of what a healthy relationship looks like.
3 Cures For The Chills
If you think this winter is cold, you're right.
But, be glad you're not in Antarctica.
NationalGeographic.com reported that on August 10, 2010 scientists "measured the most frigid temperature ever recorded … about -136°F (-93°C) — colder than dry ice."
Chilly Relationships
Spend any time in a mall and you'll see freezing temperatures, indoors.
You'll see frustrated and impatient men. You'll see angry and frustrated women. People who'd say they love one another, but kindle coldness. The heat of their romance has formed a chill.
Pray Your Pain Out
We're all looking for happiness, and despite our doubts Happiness IS possible … for all of us.
Sometimes, the pursuit of happiness involves a change of mind, a new perspective, a reversal of direction. Sometimes it's a mind-altering mystery like, "Great pain can become great possibilities."
Pray Your Pain Out
There are many reasons I have chosen to follow Jesus Christ, but one of the nearest and dearest reasons is that despite my sins, shortcomings, and slanderous rants God has not blown me up with a bolt of lightning. Not that God ever threatened to do so, but you know sometimes I just think I deserved it.
You'll Get Through This by Max Lucado
I read widely; because of the nature of my profession I read widely about pain and suffering. Some books are a blessing and others add to the burden.
Too often they contain secular philosophies that minimize or deny our divine connections. Others have psychologies that reduce our pain to warm-fuzzy banality. Worse yet are religious books that create empty lists of rules that either explain our pain as a consequence that can be blighted by good deeds or ones that explain it away in eternal language removed from the reality of real life.
Listening to Understand
A year and a half ago I wrote the very popular 9 Consequences Of Not Listening.
This week I'd like to highlight five listening moments.
Listen In
"I can't stand it!", she said. An exasperated parent continued, "Don't you hate it when you are in a nice restaurant and enjoying your meal and suddenly a screaming kid ruins it?" Without waiting for an answer, she continued, "I can't stand when my mood and my meal is ruined someone's screaming children." As her angry exposition continued her face contorted, "This time it was MY son!"
6 Reasons To Check Your Tongue
We've all done it.
We've lashed out.
Defended ourselves.
Attacked the other.
We justified our choices.
We felt our self-pity.
That might have "worked" in the past.
There is another way.
The time is now to model a new strategy.
The Truth
You've been hurt. You've left the wounds. You've felt the hurtful words and you've thrown the verbal jabs and painful punches.
It's counter-cultural, but I'd really like to encourage you to take to heart the value of humility.
Honest But Hurtful
"You gotta be yourself…"
"I was like…"
"But then that b**** said…"
"She talks too much!
"I woulda told that hoe…"
"But that stupid b**** said…"
"Hey, I'm just being REAL…"
"I've gotta be able to say how I feel. I don't care, I'm stand up."
I know you've heard it.
Have you thought it?
Maybe you said it.
Justified By Self-Pity
Can't relate to any of those? How about the awkward moment when you realize you're wrong in an argument, but you keep arguing anyway. Or your daydreaming your way through those perfect conversations where finally everyone agrees the other person was at fault.
Joy Heals
Rather than wound others, we can bring healing.
"Some people make cutting remarks, but the words of the wise bring healing." 1
When we respect both ourselves and the other person by choosing not to call anyone names, use putdowns, or attack with insults we make the world a better place.
Because name-calling hurts, "being called a name won't admit you to a hospital, but words that shame wound deeply and can still hurt years later. After all, broken bones can be fixed, but hurtful words and taunts can cause pain for a lifetime. Insults, like name-calling, can create self-doubt that doesn't go away. It's even worse if a parent hurls verbal abuse." 2

I was out shooting how people bundled up for the cold this morning, and I was struck by this photo of traffic on N. Broadway. Someone on my Twitter suggested doing a caption contest (notice the guy in the small(er) truck on the right looking at the bike commuters?).
axoplasm, Steven Vance, and shanerh added this photo to their favorites.
That's a "small truck?" Are you sure?
At least the semi-truck had his hazard lights on. :)

Great series, J. As for myself, I been takin' the bus.

About G92
G92 is a reference to the 92 times that the Hebrew word ger occurs in scripture. This word is translated as stranger, sojourner, or alien. It refers to people who have come from another land, and scripture says a lot about God's love for them and about how we as God's people are to treat them.
- "The Lord watches over sojourners: he upholds the widow and the fatherless, but the way of the wicked he brings to ruin." Psalm 146:9
- "Do not oppress the widow, the fatherless, the sojourner, or the poor and let none devise evil against another in his heart." Zech. 7:10
The G92 Gathering will keep Jesus and His word at the center of our discussion. We are committed to transcending partisan sound-bytes and modeling an exceptionally high level of civility as we think carefully about an issue that is both complicated and important. Our desire is to equip a new generation of leaders to respond to this issue in a way that exalts Jesus Christ and draws people from every nation to Him.

My boyfriend and I ate at ESPN Zone in Downtown Disney before we went and he loved it. Prices are decent there (not to mention it's a total mancave) and it's about 2.5 miles away from the stadium. We had to hurry and get our tickets since you cannot be more than 30 minutes late, so we barely made it. Our seats were really good but it was a little bit hard to see what was going on around the pitcher's mound and home plate due to where we were. Overall, a great experience!

The seats were great not bad for 16 bucks.

About the Ticket Supplier: Angels BaseballThe Angels were founded by former actor Gene Autry in 1961 and played their first five seasons in Los Angeles. After the 1965 season the club moved to Anaheim and began playing in their new stadium.
In 1972 the Angels acquired right-handed pitcher Nolan Ryan from the New York Mets. In his eight seasons with the team, Ryan led the league in strikeouts seven times and in shutouts twice; he also threw four of his all-time-record seven no-hitters.
California won its first division title in 1979 under manager Jim Fregosi, a former Angels shortstop. Don Baylor, who led the league in runs batted in (RBIs) and runs scored that year, became the first designated hitter to be named the AL most valuable player (MVP).
Superstar outfielder and designated hitter Reggie Jackson joined the Angels in 1982 and led the league in home runs to power California to its second division championship.
Manager Gene Mauch guided the team to a 93-69 win-loss record before the Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Angels in the AL Championship Series.
Mauch retired in 1983 but returned as manager two years later. In 1986 he directed the Angels to their third division crown with a team that featured veterans Jackson, third baseman Doug DeCinces, pitcher Don Sutton, and rookie first baseman Wally Joyner. The Angels again lost the AL Championship Series, this time to the Boston Red Sox.
The Angels came close to a division title in 1995, ending the season in a first-place tie with the Seattle Mariners, but they lost in a one-game playoff.
Their four decade long quest was finally realized when the Angels won the World Series in 2002, with a team led by former Dodgers catcher Mike Scioscia.

Specific Legal Duties
Courts have developed special rules regarding the duty that a defendant may have in a specific case. Where a duty does exist, it is based on specific circumstances or the nature of the relationship between the parties.
Duty to Rescue
The general rule is that a person has no duty to rescue another person who is in peril. Even in an extreme situation, such as where an adult sees a child trapped on top of railroad tracks, courts generally hold that a person is under no duty to come to the aid of another. Courts, however, recognize several exceptions. These include the following:
- The Defendant Created the Peril. Where the defendant's negligence created the need for the plaintiff to be rescued, the defendant is generally under a duty to rescue the plaintiff.
- Undertaking to Act. If a defendant begins to rescue a person but then stops, in some instances the defendant may be under a duty to continue the rescue. Most courts require that the defendant act reasonably once the rescue has begun. If a reasonable person would have continued to rescue the victim, then the defendant may have been under a duty to continue the rescue.
- Special Relationship. A defendant may have the duty to rescue a person where the defendant has a special relationship with the victim, such as in an employer-employee or a school-student relationship.
Good Samaritan Laws
Statutes that provide immunity from liability for people who assist others are called "Good Samaritan" laws. They are intended to encourage people to help others in need without fear of being sued for injury caused by their help. Still, those whose acts are found to be willfully "wanton" or "reckless" may be held liable. Good Samaritan laws in most states still generally follow the legal rule that passersby do not have a duty to rescue others in need. One exception is Vermont, where citizens are required to help those in need (and can face liability for failing to act).
State Good Samaritan laws differ on whether they protect trained emergency personnel, untrained laypeople, or both. Hawaii's Good Samaritan Act, for example, covers "any person" who "in good faith" renders emergency care.
Duty to Control
A person generally has no duty to control the actions of another person. However, in some relationships, this duty may arise. The most common example involves a parent and child. If a parent is aware of a child's dangerous propensities, then the parent is generally under a duty to exercise reasonable care in controlling the child.
Duty to Protect
A defendant may have a duty to protect a plaintiff based on the defendant's relationship with the plaintiff. This most clearly applies in cases involving jailors and prisoners or innkeepers and guests. Some courts have imposed a duty to protect based on other relationships, including landlord-tenant and business-patron relationships, but the law is less clear about duties in these instances.

The quality of consumer data we provide is of paramount importance to us, all fully opted-in and continually verified and updated. Our consumer lifestyle telephone surveys and hotkey campaigns speak to your potential customers directly in order to give you the targeted marketing data and sales leads you are looking for.

Our services can streamline your existing database by updating and profiling (clever analysis of current customer types against potential ones), or build a bespoke dataset specifically for your target market; either way we care that you get the results you need.
