STARTUP Incubator Rijeka is the new entrepreneurial infrastructure of the City of Rijeka and, unlike the already known incubators, users of this programme do not need to be economic subjects.
With the STARTUP Incubator, Rijeka also has the Entrepreneurial incubator Rujevica and the Entrepreneurial incubator Torpedo, which currently have 150 users. Unlike those two incubators, ideas in STARTUP Rijeka can be realised even without starting your own company, which is the precondition for the use in the first two Rijeka-based incubators.
The basic objective of the STARTUP incubator is to create a stimulating environment for self-employment of the young generation through the realisation of their own business ideas, raising work competences for employability of the young and influencing the development of the entrepreneurial culture of the young.
Users of STARTUP Rijeka are young people and their teams, with knowledge and ideas in the field of information technologies, computer applications, industrial design and, and students from various scientific and other fields. Professional aid in the realisation of their ideas is ensured in the form of mentors who are experts coming from economic subjects or the university community.

I'm also effected by this bug, but with quite different symptoms. I also know this is quite long so I'll try to break things up very well.
First of all the hardware involved is Intel Corporation 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) with a Hanns-G 22" LCD. That same hardware has worked properly with all versions of Ubuntu from Hardy up through Maverick Beta. The default will normally be 1680x1050@61Hz.
I've been monitoring the daily builds more closely than usual following changes to the new ubiquity and beginning about September 16th the Live CD would result in the monitor spitting the error message "Input signal out of range". Oddly I have a fully updated Maverick installed that began with the toolchain upload May 22nd and I've not been able to reproduce this bug on it.
However I do have two additional Mavericks on this machine leftover from Beta upgrade and iso-testing, so over the weekend I booted into the one installed for iso-testing, fully updated it, and was presented with the "out-of-range" error on reboot. That's a good thing as it's much easier to fiddle with an installed OS than a Live CD or USB.
I have tried a number of things:
1) Creating a known good xorg.conf w/a default resolution of 1440x900@60Hz.
2) Editing "/etc/gdm/
Note: both 1 & 2 are options I've used for some time due to poor vision.
3) Suspecting it may be KMS related I tried two different mainline kernels - 2.6.35-02063504 & 2.6.35-02063506.
None of the above worked, but the installed "non-working" Maverick will boot if I choose Recovery Mode from the grub menu and then choose FailsafeX, however I've tried the Live CD with many options including "nomodeset" and "i915.modeset=1" which both result in the "out-of-range" error, and also "i915.modeset=1" which drops me to a TTY, and if I try startx I just get the error "Fatal server error: no screens found".
I should also mention that this i945 works OK with my old 17" CRT, and an old machine w/VIA P4M800 graphics still works OK with the 22" LCD.
Finally this AM MacUntu from the forums pointed me to this bug and sure as heck if I uncheck "turn_on_
Oddly the working Maverick that began with the toolchain upload has "turn_on_
I think I'll leave the working Maverick alone rather than try to break it, but I am going to try and get a TTY in the current daily live i386 and see if editing gconf will allow it to boot w/startx.
I'll be glad to do any testing requested or to attach any requested info, but I'm beyond clueless so please be as complete as possible in your requests.
I'd expect iso-testing for the RC to begin very soon and I'd think we need to at least address this in the release notes.

I guess the easiest way to find out if you are affected by this bug is, to install the x11-xserver-utils package and run 'xrandr -q' - normally this should list a proper mode - it doesn't in my case. You can also run 'sudo get-edid' from the read-edid package - if it fails, you'll likely hit this bug.

Sorry to be slow but after trying the RC iso-testing i386 Live CD and seeing the "out-of-range" error I decided to jump into upgrade testing. I had been going to upgrade a highly modified Lucid, but due to this bug I decided to spend the extra time to install and update a fresh 10.04.1, and then perform the upgrade test.
As expected upon reboot I get the same error. Before reboot I gathered this info:

I'm loathe to modify that OS ATM because I might be able to provide some info for the appropriate devs. Just to recap a bit:
My effected hardware is Intel Corporation 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) with a Hanns-G 22" LCD.
I currently have a fully updated (thru yesterday) Maverick on sda1 that began with the the toolchain upload that works, another that was effected by this bug on sdb1 but it now works with the edit to gconf, and I now have a third on sda16 that's a fresh upgrade from 10.04.1 that fails.
I'll not make any modifications to the latter as it may be the best suitable to gather info from. But if requesting info please realize that you're working with a simple minded end user :^)

And it still works just fine, so something that "stuck" from that original toolchain upload and the newer installs/upgrades has absolutely changed.

How do you know that? How much hardware did you try? How do you know if doesn't do better job on some configurations and breaks some others?
What solution do you suggest? Changing the key value just workaround the issue on some setups to trade with other broken ones. The safe way would probably to go back to what lucid was doing though

Just confirming, for me the bug manifests differently: I have a 1280x1024 external monitor, and X starts in that mode (with a little help in xorg.conf). However, g-s-d tries to be too clever and switches it to 1024x768, presumably because xrandr thinks that this is the highest common resolution with my internal monitor (1280x800). So I now get two unnecessary modeswitches during boot (my desktop session of course switches it back to 1280x1024).
So this is indeed a regression.
|Martin Pitt (pitti) wrote :
We can't set turn_on_
So it seems that both settings cause problems. Can't we just entirely disable this xrandr messing by default? On normal single-screen settings, KMS and X should already care about the resolution, and any mode change that we introduce will not only be prone to misconfigure your screens, but also introduce major startup latencies and thus slow down boot.

Seb and I discussed this in #ubuntu-desktop. We will add a gconf key to enable the automatic xrandr configuration (if there are no configuration files), and set that to false in Ubuntu. That patch will be acceptable for upstream, and it's a very safe solution, in the sense that it is easy to test, relatively unintrusive, and will change back behaviour to what we had in all earlier releases and Maverick Beta. With my release team hat on, I think this is safe enough to push into maverick final still; this affects the live system, so an SRU would be a lot less useful.

Top Port Orford Cedar, steel string
Similar in appearance and scent to Alaskan Yellow Cedar, Port Orford Cedar is stiffer, lighter and thus more suitable for soundboards. Indeed, it is highly sought after for the bold, robust, responsive tone that it imparts on an instrument.
Finding clear, even color in Port Orford Cedar is rare, and the product photos reflect this. We emphasize stiffness and quartersawn grain in this species.
The sap secretions you may see on your Spanish Cedar neck blanks are normal in Spanish Cedar and are not a concern. Just scrap them from the surface and wait a few days. Sometimes a second scraping in needed. Once the wood is finished, you will no longer see the sap again.

Midday Briefing
*The McBride-Barrett deal has been finalized. No McBride in Chicago until after the Olympics. Of course, he will be needed to fill Blanco's slot in the lineup after the USSF and MLS announce their 20-year suspensions. (kidding) Speaking of Blanco, the USSF might unveil its findings from the Open Cup mess today/tonight, but could end up delaying it until tomorrow.
*Dallas is interested in a pair of River Plate youngsters: Lucas Gomez, a 21-year-old forward, and 19-year-old Lucas Malacarne, a left-sided defender.
*Eerily quiet on the DCU front: No trialists, no signings. Any day now. Really.
*[UPDATE] DCU forward Francis Doe missed practice today to have an infection on his foot examined. He will probably miss Saturday's game against Kansas City.

Maybe DC is skipping all that trialist nonsense and getting a proven player. Seriously, what's the percentage of these trialists that pan out?

It just seems to me that if you look at everything from player selection to motivating the team to play well consistently to managing each game well that Tom Soehn doesn't compare with Steve Nichol or Dominic Kinnear. This has become all the more clear with Superliga.
For DC United to win more trophies, we need a coach in the class of Nicol and Kinnear.

Early reports indicate that Dadryan smashed into a K Street Lobbyist while dodging a mahogony-wielding eco-terror-intern. The resulting backup of SUVs and limousine liberals strectched all the way down K, onto the Whitehurst, through an earlier thread and into yesterday, knocking the mayor off his bike.

Hard to have trialists when your coach is not around to evaluate their skill sets and abilities. Sounds like Soehn is about to be shown the door.

Do you call the shots when it comes to marketing? Have you heard the buzz and are now thinking you should sink a chunk of your budget into mobile (cell phones) and in-game marketing (videogames)? Hold up for a sec cowboy. According to Forrester via Ad Age: "What emerging channels will nab the most marketer interest this year? Despite the hype around tactics such as mobile and gaming, adoption of those areas is still low."
It doesn't take a genius to figure out why most marketers aren't jumping on the mobile and in-game marketing bandwagon. The target audience for both makes up a fraction of the overall public. Mobile marketing is hindered by technology and hardware; all phones are different and so are their capabilities. In-game marketing is hindered by the fact that its audience is primarily younger with very distinct tastes.
So before you decide to sink a chunk of your budget into these areas, you need to think about your target audience. Think of their average age, their personalities, likes, dislikes, and so on. If it's a younger crowd and is likely to own the latest in technology, then you may want to experiment with mobile and in-game marketing. If it's not, then hold off for now. It might be better for you to stick with email, search, and blog marketing.

Subject: Let's Talk Real Astrology
At the risk of being censored, I am going to depart from the usual threads of conversation and go off on a subject rarely discussed here....Astrology. Today, the Sun enters Aries and Spring starts. A time for rebirth and new beginnings. One week from today Mercury goes retrograde in Aries and everything is going to go right in the toilet. Mercury is going to pass over Saturn, turn retrograde, back over it again and hit it again for the 3rd time after it goes direct. Thus promising a nightmare period where all thing are going to get twisted, reversed and crushed. My own personal opinion is that I should stock up on can goods and barricade myself in the cellar for the duration. But, with Mercury retrograde, that plan will be reversed. If you want to hide under a blanket in the basement, retrograde Mercury will leave you naked on the roof. Perhaps I should do the George Castanza backwards success plan and do the reverse of everything that seems right. Anyway, The retrograde Mercury in Aries with the Saturn conjunctions, does not bode well for any plans and projects one may have for the next few weeks. In fact, even now we should be seeing things develop which will need serious rethink when Mercury goes direct. What's your plan for dealing with it?

In fact, most resumes concentrate on dates and job functions, but decision makers don't care about what you did on a daily basis as much as how you affected the organizations you served, as that is the best indicator of the value you...

True nature
snow gently falling, temperatures have risen to minus 6
Now this is my idea of peace. sitting by the fire, cafe au lait, Michael, Trudy, a Michael Innes mystery (There Came Both Mist and Snow)....nothing on the agenda. Yes, we have no bananas. Nobody coming over. Nothing to be done. OK, some laundry - but that will wait. And I can just drift into the laundry room and do it at my leisure.
I realize what I want - and what I suspect most people want - is to set the agenda. Kind and wonderful friends are asking us out...and I said to Michael that it's not that I don't want to see them - but I'd love to do the asking. It must be a psychological thing, of regaining control over our lives.
And for now, solitude and quiet is the goal. I think it's because, at heart I'm a bit of a hermit. so strange and contradictory...I genuinely like people. And need people. And yearn to belong. Long for a sense of community. And yet, I also want my privacy and solitude.
I think, as amazing and wonderful as the last few years have been - and I wouldn't trade them for anything, they really are my dream - there is an element of losing control of my life. going with the flow became a river, then a rapid, then a cascade...of all great things. But I do feel I want to rest on the shore for a while, before plunging back in.
This is our shore.
Hope you're feeling peaceful and energized as you head into 2012. The photo above was taken by Gary last week, when he came to take new pictures. Not sure this will ever be chose as a shot for the dust jacket - put I like it!

I understand your need for peace and quiet and solitude right now. I too love people and enjoy being with friends and family, but I don't think a writer would be a writer really without that need for solitude and time to think. Enjoy it while you can.

You put my jumbled feelings into words so perfectly that I see clearer how I feel - if that makes any sense! (Must be that "author thing"!)It must be the cold- new year- end of hectic season that has us all migrating toward the do-nothing, leave me alone peacefulness that your photo depicts. Reminds me of a comic strip, "Rose is Rose". Rose has a Let It Be tree that she often leans on. Thanks again for your words.

There are those who say follow your nature; so that's what you are doing. The tree is a great symbol. Grounded, yet reaching-you can play with that if you like :)

I like to call myself a gregarious hermit. I know exactly how you feel!

I'm just somebody who stitches and reads with reading taking the forefront in recent months. Discovering your Three Pines mysteries has been the joy of my life. I savor them and read back over some of the parts to make sure I didn't miss anything. But you rest and relax and re-connect with yourself now. We'll be waiting.
- 5 January 2012 at 12:31
Okay - got to ask - did you feel the energy in the tree? Love, love, love your books and your blogs and the way you not only look at life, but also share what you see. Best of the new year to you and Michael.

I read something recently that indicated that 57% of us are introverts, which surprised me because we definitely live in an extrovert world.
I think the control aspect--control of one's agenda--is the thing I covet most. After a week of being all things to all people at work, I tend to 'waste' my Saturdays hanging out at home with the dogs.
Enjoy your quiet time! I hope you get to read lots of books.

In exactly two weeks, North America's premier garden and flower festival opens right here in Toronto.
Canada Blooms is the largest event of its kind on the continent, with an expected attendance of more than 200,000 people from March 11-20.
This year marks the 20th anniversary of the festival that, I think, ranks right up there with TIFF, the CNE, and the Santa Claus Parade.
It is a part of this city and if you have never been, well, this is the perfect year to go.
For the uninitiated, I can recommend you head straight for the 27 feature gardens as soon as you arrive at the Enercare Centre, Exhibition Place. The award-winning landscapes, created by the country's leading designers, landscape architects and landscape companies, are second to none.
Saying there's a lot to see at the show is a gross understatement. Again this year the event partners with the National Home Show, so it's double the fun and twice the value. As well, the two simultaneous shows mean there's a lot of ground to cover and that means wearing comfortable shoes, bringing a camera (because you won't remember all the magnificent images), and carving enough time out of your schedule to do it justice. A full day works for most people, several days for gardening fanatics.
The theme for this year's gardens is "It's A Party," a nod to Canada Blooms' significant 20th anniversary.
And since I have the inside information on what's planned, let me guide you to five must-see feature gardens:
1. Choose Your Path, by Landscape Ontario. A play on words that reflects the many career opportunities in the horticulture industry, illustrated by a walk down a wonderfully enhanced garden path. Landscape Ontario focuses on the vast number of careers available outdoors and in the green professions. As always, this garden is a collaborative effort between many designers and landscapers, each dedicated to a mutual interest of promoting the industry. This is a tangible expression of pride.
2. The Stingray Garden, by Julie Moore, Modern Landscape Design. This garden provides an artistic approach to form and function. Thematic zones — think in terms of a quiet space in your backyard, replete with garden art and comfy places to lounge, and add in a special area for entertaining — the form with the function. This special addition to the festival knits the outdoor gardening experience together with soft music. Prepare to slow down!
3. Party of a Lifetime, by University Pro Landscapers. A place to entertain and relax. Fully equipped with an outdoor kitchen, glass wall infinity pool, and lots of room for guests to lounge. There's lots of water in this amazing garden: kids will enjoy playing in the pool (but not during the festival), party guests can linger by the water's edge, and when the party is over you, the host, will enjoy the quiet side of nature, surrounded by the sounds of songbirds and gently flowing water.
4. H 20 Yeah!, by Genoscape Landscaping. Last year, Genoscape earned the top award for garden design at Canada Blooms. Owner Joe Genovese pours his heart and soul into every project and this year is no exception. Come and meander through the winding pathways and let the sights and sounds of water lead your way. Be sure to take a detour into the one-of-a-kind wood igloo built out of old pallets. This is where you party in a natural setting! Genoscape specializes in the use of water in the landscape. If you are thinking of adding a water feature to your yard this year, this is a must-see garden.
5. Let's Party, by Royal Stone & AquaSpa Pools Landscape and Design. There's a vacation feel to this carefully planned outdoor space that truly adds another layer of living to a home. Knowing this garden is waiting for you when you arrive home from work will tempt you to leave early and to skip some Fridays or Mondays to create a long weekend experience in your backyard. The strong linear lines of this garden make excellent use of space while the walls of trees, the small lawn area, the outdoor kitchen and the lap pool create distinct outdoor rooms. Check out the 3D video of the Let's Party garden on the Canada Blooms website.
Of course, these five gardens are just a sampling of what's coming up at Canada Blooms. Start planning now to make sure you get your share of an early taste of spring.
As I like to say: It's the greatest show in the earth!

- Snow Monster – This beaut of a dessert is from the OC wunderkind of a dessert chain where you can pick a macaron, a scoop of ice cream, and toppings to make your own freakishly good treat. A Captain Crunch flavored cookie, super-sweet strawberry ice cream, and Fruity Pebbles is the snack my childhood dreams were made of.
- Us Millennials are Saving Up – Surprise, surprise everyone! Although we're very good at social media, switching jobs, and swiping left and right, we're also very good at saving! I've been on the saving train since college and the best piece of advice I've ever gotten was, "You must pay yourself before anyone else." That sounds pretty good to me.

Plan W3867
- Ellington
4 bedroom Cape Cod with double garage and bonus storage space
Simple lines and symmetrical windows result in a timeless classic.

The main living areas are arranged over an open concept triangle including a living room, dining room and contemporary kitchen with island. A combination half bath/laundry is located conveniently off the double garage.
Upstairs, the master bedroom includes a walk-in closet. Three additional bedrooms and a bathroom complete this level. This plan includes an undeveloped basement which can be finished for additional storage or living space.
The end product? A beautiful home which is economical to build and a joy to live in!
2nd level: Four bedrooms and a bathroom.
Illustrations and photos may differ slightly from the plan that you will receive. They may include modifications to conform with new building codes, suit homeowners' preferences or site requirements.
candice 26 January 2015
hi, I could not find the "cost to build" button anywhere. What is the minimum for building this house?
Customer service 26 January 2015
Good day and thank you for taking the time to write
There is no "cost to build" button because we do not provide construction estimates per zip code or area.
Although we do no actual construction, the ballpark estimate to build this home in Quebec (Canada) starts at around $230,000.
This estimate is based on professional grade materials and includes ceramic in the foyer, the kitchen and the bathrooms with hardwood flooring throughout the common areas and in the bedrooms.
The kitchen cabinetry is wood grain melamine. This construction estimate to build in Quebec is for a turn key project.
The cost of the land and its excavation, taxes and hook-ups to municipal or other services is not included in the calculation and it is highly recommended to consult local contractors and materials suppliers to get a better idea of the actual cost to build in your area.
I hope that this provides some helpful information and I invite you to contact me if you have any other questions or comments

Judging by chart analysis
Judging by chart analysis, nothing radical has happened on the BTCUSD pair in the last 24 hours. The downwards trend on the daily timeframe remains intact. Because of this, it's perfectly possible that bitcoin will test the low range formed at the beginning of February, which runs from around 6,000 to 7,500 USD:
If we look at the fundamentals, the last 24 hours have seen one very encouraging piece of news. Yesterday, on the 15th of March, Lightning Labs launched a beta version of the Lightning Network; developed for the main Bitcoin network.
This is, of course, excellent news for Bitcoin. It shows us that developers are looking at every possible solution to Bitcoin's scaling problem.

Bitcoin is an innovative payment network and a new kind of money. So question is what exactly is bitcoin and why is it so attracting too much attention? Obviously it doesn't exist as a physical currency. Here I have found something about bitcoin and how does it work. I hope this will be useful for the currency trader:

At the time of writing this review, BTC futures on the Bitmex exchange are trading at 7,726 USD. The BTCUSD pair has been trading within a range of 7,209 – 7,778 USD for nearly 48 hours. Whichever direction in which the price exits this range should determine its movement for at least the next couple of days. Given the manipulation that takes place on exchanges, the price could trigger the stops on both sides of the range after the breakout before returning to 7,500 USD.
Following its drop from 7,715 USD to 7,209 USD, bitcoin has recovered by 50%.You can use to

for this cryptocurrencies It stopped at the resistance formed from the lows of 7,230 USD and 7,349 USD. We at Alpari believe that this growth phase will last until the 1st of August, after which we will enter a decline until the 23rd of August. It's highly likely that 8,000 USD will be tested before the 1st of August.

If you wish to make good stride in Crypto industry, then figuring out Bitcoin is all so much more vital. And that's where I feel truly privileged with going for options like Inlock, it is the NEXT generation's superstar kind of thing and with their concept, it is going to make life of MANY easier.
It is great for lenders, borrowers and pretty much EVERYONE, it is the kind of creation that you should truly feel blessed to be part of and with their

system, it is just the help people need to be able to hold on to their Cryptos freely.

Bitcoin is just a currency like a euro or the US dollar, used to exchange goods and services. However, unlike other currencies, Bitcoin is an electronic currency that has novel features and notable for its efficiency, safety, and ease of exchange.
Their biggest difference compared to other currencies, is a decentralized currency, so no one controls. Bitcoin has no central issuer as dollars or euros, the cryptocurrency is produced by individuals and companies from around the world devoting considerable resources to mining.

A New Quilt and a New Bee
6 comments:
I made a quilt VERY similar to your Amy Butler one, with Amy Butler fabric myself! It was one of the first one's I worked on.... I lost steam with AB shortly after that, and still haven't finished it. Mine only has rectangle blocks, no sashing and I am happy with how it looksReplyDelete
Now that I've seen yours I want mine to be done though! So thanks for givin me a kick in the booty to add a border (maybe?) and get it quilted!
cute blocks! I remember what big deal it was when I bought a Peg Pergo Venezia before my oldest was born... I loved it and had a very hard time parting with it after everyone was too old for it. Lucy sure is cute.ReplyDelete
Nice quilt blocks! And your daughter is adorable!ReplyDelete
Fun to be found through the pillow swap. I'm excited to be in it this round as I was so impressed with all the pillows from the first round. Always fun to find another Megan - doublely better sharing a middle name too. :) Those hexagons are so cute! I might have to give them a try.ReplyDelete
Oh! P.S. My fiance says we don't have enough space for me to horde fabric. But feel to have a little talking to with him! :) Looking forward to sewing with you too.ReplyDelete
the quilting block is beautiful. I love the quilt too, I just saw someone else do the same pattern. I can't wait to try it (I'm planning on making one for my own bed. yay)ReplyDelete

Hello SOTGC Community,
Just like that, it's August. Dive into the endless summer and the cubicle conversation by joining the sports conversation We have all you need to know to impress your co-workers in the heat of the summer.
PGA (Professional Golfers Association) Championship – August 10-13
If your office is like mine, you can't swing your purse without hitting a golf fiend. If you're like me, the extent of your golf knowledge is yelling Fore! when you're about to hit someone with a golf ball. Well you should know that this championship, which takes place in Concord, OH, is the last of the four major golf tournaments of the season.
Working it into conversation
As a manager, sometimes your team surprises you. You never know when the new person will step up and conquer a project or if an established veteran will top the quarterly revenue charts again. This tournament is no different. It's anyone's game; a chance for a player who hasn't won a major this year to prove themselves or for an old pro to build on their legacy.
Mayweather vs. McGregor Boxing Match – August 26th
Unless you've been hiding out in a social media free hole (we don't blame you), you've heard about the battle between champion boxer Floyd Mayweather and UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) champion fighter Conor McGregor. They've had some pretty obnoxious and profanity laced press conferences but it's simply a show leading up to the fight.
Working it into conversation
When you're the expert in your field, whether that's a doctor, lawyer or PR consultant, you can charge a lot of money for your services. These two are the best in what they do, in fact Mayweather boast a 49-0 career record. The fight isn't only for bragging rights, it's a big payday for both fighters. The purse is expected to be anywhere from $75 – $400 million for the fight.
While we'd rather not have to write about it, this fight is a great example of the quote "there's no such thing as bad PR." The two fighters went on a four stop press tour and they wore memorable (for the wrong reasons) outfits, used more four letter words than most of us have used in our adult lives and they still dominated the news. Their pay-per-view fight is expected to draw a record breaking 4.9 million viewers globally.
College Football Season Begins – August 26th
It's a fresh start for college football teams with the 2017 season beginning on August 26th. (In case you haven't noticed, the 26th is a big day for sports). The season will run through January.
Working it into conversation
Every time you begin a new project it's a chance to start with a clean slate. For the coaches and players, when they start the first game of the season, they're still an undefeated team. Your fresh start might come from learning something earth shattering at a conference or receiving a promotion and just like the athletes on the field, anything is possible.
We'd be remiss if we didn't mention the best part of college football. No, not the snack stand, but the mascots. These oversized characters are usually more famous than the guys on the field that they're cheering on. Regardless their passion and enthusiasm never dies. Whether it's in the office or in life, we all need an uplifting pep talk to get us through tough situations. Better yet? Be that mascot in your own life, always believing in yourself. Want some additionally fun facts? Check out our Five Things To Know About College Mascots.
So you don't have to go looking for it, here's the season schedule.
Knowing about sports levels the playing field in the office, at a networking event or on a date. You don't have to know who won the 1974 Super Bowl, but having a general idea of what's happening in the sports will pay off big time. To stay in the know, subscribe to Last Night's Game where we'll open up the world of sports so you can talk to the world.
PS – We'll go further into the NFL (National Football League) season next month, but you should know that their preseason games start August 3rd. This is where they learn to play together as a team.

Our CrossFit Story
The making of CrossFit Local
Our CrossFit Story
The making of CrossFit Local
Chad's Story:
I am Chad Edwards and together with my wife, Kelly, we own CrossFit Local. After completion of high school, I attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Exercise and Sport Science degree. Upon graduation, I began employment as a personal trainer at a local gym. I trained from before sunrise to past sunset most days of the week. Over the course of my experience working as a trainer, I felt an element was missing. Training was fun, but had become repetitive and lacked excitement. Competition, an environment in which I thrive, is the component that was lacking. As a result, despite their best efforts and mine, my clients were not meeting their personal fitness goals.
Around 2006 a movie called 300 was released which changed my life in a variety of ways. The actors were really strong and I developed a strong desire to achieve that level of strength. I scoured the internet for workouts used in training for the movie and found the "300 workout." Eager to achieve Spartan-strength, I did the workout and it proceeded to demolish me. As a personal trainer I was shamed. This seemingly simple workout made my athletic ability questionable. After doing more research, I read a comment stating that the workout "looked similar to CrossFit." I discovered CrossFit.com and gave it a read. "Helen" appeared simple: 400 meter run, 21 kettlebell swings, and 12 pull ups; repeat three times. Panting on the floor, 20 minutes later, I was thinking that CrossFit was anything but simple!After experiencing the revelation of CrossFit, I was dissatisfied working in the traditional gym setting. I have since left that arena to help others experience the true satisfaction of achieving personal fitness goals. I attained my Level 1 CrossFit certification in 2010 and devote myself wholeheartedly to this program. I am proud to call myself an athlete because of the changes I have seen in my life, both in performance and in overall well-being. The most important reward I have gained since implementing CrossFit is assisting clients in realizing not only their fitness goals but goals that allow them to grow personally.My wife, Kelly, has also seen amazing results from CrossFit. She had never been able to consistently exercise and was feeling fatigued until starting CrossFit in 2010. Ever since, she has been filled with energy and is always happy to share her story. It makes me proud to see my wife's self-esteem and confidence level so high.
CrossFit Local is an incredible, supportive community. I am honored to call it my box. Being a CrossFit affiliate owner is a dream I have harbored for so long and am thankful that it has been realized.
CrossFit Local is thriving as a community of friends and athletes. Being able to provide a facility for members to train hard and meet new friends is deeply satisfying and rewarding. Thank you CrossFit for creating such a powerful, life-changing program.
Kelly's story:
In 2010, Chad finally convinced me to try CrossFit. I was so afraid of it I started out doing CrossFit Kids, at home, by myself. Why? I was scared and embarrassed. I was afraid of not being able to keep up. I was afraid people would see how out of shape and weak I was. I was intimidated by the workouts and afraid I'd throw up.
So what did I do? I showed up anyway. The warm up was a 400m run. Running? Yuck, I hate running (yes, present tense – still do). Halfway around, I had to stop. I couldn't finish. I was walking, breathing hard, feeling like I could cry. Yep, 200m into my warm up run, I was walking… how embarrassing. Along came a class buddy who had already completed her 400m run and circled back to get me. She told me I could do it, to just pick up my feet and move, slow, steady, go, she was with me. Together, we finished.
Hm, so this is what CrossFit is about. Teams. Camraderie. Support. Friends. This is so much better than working out alone.
I'd like to say from that moment on, everything was wonderful sunshine and butterflies, PRs (personal records) all the time. Are you kidding? It was hard. I was incredibly, miserably sore. I confused the snatch with the clean with the jerk (all Olympic weightlifting movements). I felt incompetent, silly and out of my element. But somewhere along the line I started to care less about how I looked while at CrossFit and focused instead on my form and feeling strong.
Goals were reached. Milestones met. The shift from feeling afraid to empowered happened, but slowly.
Please don't ever think that any skill or strength that I have just happened or that it's just naturally there. I set goals and I train hard. I have put in blood, sweat and tears while lifting to achieve great technique and PRs. I eat clean so I can perform and feel better (abs are also a nice perk). I still have many skills to improve and learn so I work on those continually. I still hate running but I do it anyway. Why? Because I never want to be that girl who was so embarrassed that I worked out alone and couldn't finish a warmup.
Stop avoiding your fears. Embrace them. Conquer them. Continue to hate them, but don't let them own you.
If you are new to this whole CrossFit thing, be patient with yourself. Congratulate yourself on showing up and know that this is a process, a continuum of change. If you have been with us for a while, continually strive to get better.

Lewis Payne
I've been reading The Emancipated Spectator by Jacques Rancière, as translated by Gregory Elliott (London : Verso, 2009). On page 114 is reproduced the photo above. Below is a part of Rancière's discussion of this photo, riffing off an earlier discussion of the same photo by that other (now dead and much-missed) French philosopher of aesthetics, Roland Barthes.
"Barthes tells us this: 'The photograph is handsome, as is the boy: that is the studium. But the punctum is: He is going to die. I read at the same time: This will be and this has been ...' Yet nothing in the photo tells us that the young man is going to die. To be affected by his death, we need to know that the photograph represents Lewis Payne, condemned to death in 1865 for trying to assassinate the US secretary of state. And we also need to know that it was the first time a photographer – Alexander Gardner – had been allowed in to photograph an execution. To make the effect of the photo and the affect of the death coincide, Barthes has had to create a short-circuit between historical knowledge of the subject represented and the material texture of the photograph. ... Yet this short-circuit erases the characteristic features of the photograph he presents to us, which are features of indeterminacy. The photograph of Lewis Payne in fact derives its singularity from three forms of indeterminacy. The first involves its visual composition: the young man is seated in accordance with a highly pictorial arrangement, leaning slightly, on the border between a zone of light and a zone of shade. But we cannot know whether the positioning has been chosen by the photographer, or – if that is the case – whether he chose it out of a concern for visibility or an aesthetic reflex. Nor do we know whether he has simply recorded the wedges and marks that appear on the walls, or whether he has deliberately highlighted them. The second indeterminacy concerns the work of time. The texture of the photograph bears the stamp of times past. By contrast, the body of the young man, his clothing, his posture and the intensity of his gaze are at home in our present, negating the temporal distance. The third indeterminacy concerns the attitude of the character. Even if we know that he is going to die and why, it is impossible for us to read the reasons for his assassination attempt, or his feelings about his imminent death, in his gaze. The photograph's pensiveness might then be defined as this tangle between several forms of indeterminacy. It might be characterized as an effect of the circulation, between the subject, the photographer and us, of the intentional and the unintentional, the known and the unknown, the expressed and unexpressed, the present and the past. Contrary to what Barthes tells us, this pensiveness stems from the impossibility of making two images coincide – the socially determined image of the condemned man and the image of a young man characterized by a rather nonchalant curiosity, focusing on a point we cannot see."

Reclining Baby
This afternoon I visited Mabel Watson Payne who was taking a great interest in her surroundings. For a privileged interval I even took care of her by myself, while her mother went swimming. Mabel Watson Payne is absolutely present in the moment and blithely unconcerned with past and future.

Bohemian Succession
Frederick the Great of Prussia was very fond of war. Throughout the course of a long reign he found numerous little wars to fight, in order to keep himself amused during the periods when he was not staying home at the Palace of Sans Souci playing the flute and seducing hussars.
At the San Francisco library where I work it was my job today to catalog a book written in 1789 (a few years after Frederick's death) by Graf von Schmettau, one of his officers during the War of the Bohemian Succession which Frederick and von Schmettau and many other Prussians had enjoyed very much during the fighting season of 1778-79.
The text of von Schmettau's book is in French, but the beautiful fold-out, hand-colored maps are gracefully engraved in German. Their delicate prettiness belies the fact that their subject is conquest and pillage.
It was all a game to Frederick. Less so for the trampled Bohemians.

Robert Harington, 1558
Get you, with your almain rivetts (lastest
fad from Germany), and your corselet,
and your two coats of plate! How much harness
does a man need? None, when he's in his grave.
Your sons may have it, together with your
damask and satin gowns to show off in;
while you go to lie down in Witham church,
and the most armour I've seen in a will
rusts or turns ridiculous in this world.
– by Fleur Adcock (from the Times Lit Supp)
Confession: The portrait is not Robert Harington. The portrait is a Spaniard of the same century (with extravagant armour of his own) who seemed to me to look right for the poem.

Autumn Garden
Hot weather this weekend. Often there are spells of hot weather like this along the Northern California coast in late September and early October -- when the flowers in the gardens are already beginning to subside and the plants are making ready for the relatively mild winters here.
Back in January we dug up all the calla lilies, spread them out, and replanted. Then all summer they languished, resenting the rough treatment they had received. Another upside-down sign of fall in this climate – they have at last forgiven us nine months later and are beginning to put out vigorous new growth.
Yes, the grass is very green at this time. This is mostly because a neighbor up the hill inadvertently left a hose running for 24 hours and flooded the entire lawn -- an experience it apparently enjoyed tremendously.
What little there is (in the way of flowers) to bring inside the house looks delicate and faded.
The large hydrangea bush never bloomed this year at all. Many theories have been floated as to why this old reliable plant did not do its duty, but no explanation seems conclusive.
Big spiders appear in the garden in the autumn. This one built a huge web a couple of weeks ago anchored to a climbing rose on the one side and a large jade plant on the other. A smaller spider was dancing around it in the afternoon – perhaps a male of the same species – and then they both disappeared. When the big spider later emerged from the foliage at stage left, she emerged alone.

Saturday Morning
In all the ones above I am walking west on 16th Street between the Mission and the Castro in San Francisco as the sun rises and the moon fades. Below, I look back toward the east and see Mission Dolores silhouetted against the sunrise.
Then continue west toward my bank and the all-night grocery store in the Castro because it will be a busy and very warm day and I need to get some errands run ahead of time.
Last glimpse of the morning moon, just past full.

It's hard to believe Shania Twain never felt beautiful growing up, but that's exactly what the Canadian country star says. In an essay for InStyle, the singer revealed that finding her femininity was what helped her learn to love herself and become a great artist.
In the article, Twain, who was born in Windsor, Ont., but grew up in the smaller town of Timmins, wrote: "I wasn't blessed with prettiness. Maybe it had something to do with the fact that we were poor and moved around a lot, or that my mother kept my hair short, but I was always mistaken for a boy. I wanted to wear pants and go hunting with my dad, while my two sisters wore dresses and were fair, blond and a lot cuter."
"Even in high school, when my body was developing and all the curves came in, I didn't get a sense of my femininity," she continued. "I wasn't ready for the changes, and I didn't enjoy them."
It was only when she started performing with bands that Twain started to get in touch with her feminine side and gained a sense of confidence. At 21, she started honing her fashion sense and makeup skills, and even got her dancers to teach her how to walk in heels.
It wasn't just about what to wear to go out on a Friday night; it was about becoming an artist.
"I got into the groove of it and started to love it," she explained. "Since I was such a late bloomer, I think I liked the indulgence of getting dressed up. It was a new playground for me — picking the fabrics, colours, and images was a very creative process. It wasn't just about what to wear to go out on a Friday night; it was about becoming an artist."
Twain's confidence has certainly helped her career take off. In fact, many of her singles have been about female empowerment, owning your sex appeal, and knowing your worth. Her hits "Any Man of Mine" and "That Don't Impress Me Much" are true testaments of that.
Last year, the 52-year-old also revealed how she found confidence with age. "I spent most of my childhood embarrassed or feeling insecure or inadequate. That stays with you," she told Billboard.
It wasn't until she entered her 40s that she truly felt comfortable in her own skin. "I felt, 'Oh, I really own where I am," she said. "I guess I earned this."
I spent most of my childhood embarrassed or feeling insecure or inadequate. That stays with you.
In June, Twain released her first album in 15 years, following a battle with Lyme disease, which caused her to lose her voice. And last month, the singer announced her 2018 North American tour. Clearly nothing can put a damper on this star's confidence.

Inside Line: Jackson Hole, Wyoming
Marquee route:
From the top of the tram, drop left past Corbet's Cabin and approach the intimidating lip of Corbet's Couloir. Drop in, and crank a hard turn to avoid gutting yourself on the big rock wall in front you.
Off-Broadway: East-facing Pepi's Ridge, off the Laramie Traverse, gives way to multiple options. Ski the constricting 45- to 50-degree Alta 1, 2, or 3 Chutes, or make your way through the interconnected snowfields and slots in Bird in the Hand.
