Over Labor Day weekend my dear friend Kami and I had the pleasure of visiting the Sonoma and Napa valleys. It was a beautiful, fun, relaxing and educational trip. So before I forget about all the details let me share them with you! {I began writing this over a month ago...I think I've finally completed it! Sorry for the length of it...I wanted notes in order to plan my next trip!}
At Talty Vineyards |
Grapes at Trefethen |
We left Phoenix on Friday midday and arrived in Sacramento that afternoon. We opted for SAC over San Francisco because we thought it would be better traffic and less chances for flight delays due to fog. We got a smoking deal on a rental car and headed to our B&B in Sonoma.
Our friend Kayla (Kami has known her forever and I have since college) drove up from SF - it took her over 3 hours which totally solidified our good decision making about flying in to SAC - and joined us for dinner. We originally thought we would go to The Fig Cafe & Wine Bar in Glen Ellen {based on our menu review of it} but we called and they were closed for a private party so we headed to the square and tried to get in at The Girl & the Fig {the "mother" restaurant of the one in GE} - probably the busiest restaurant in Sonoma - instead of waiting for a table for over an hour we sat in the bar/lounge and enjoyed great food and company. We ordered a bottle of wine and started with some cheese and meats - I branched out and tried the goat and lamb's milk cheeses - still not my favorite but I was impressed I tried them. I did try a caperberry {if a caper bud is not picked it flowers and produces a fruit that is the caperberry and then they are often served pickled} for the first time and surprisingly enjoyed it. I ordered the steak & frites {6-ounce prime flat iron steak, frites, point reyes blue cheese butter.} Let me tell you that blue cheese butter was DIVINE. Kayla had the Duck Confit - I thought it tasted delish and Kami had the scallops.We ended with Profiteroles {tahitian vanilla bean ice cream-filled cream puffs, bittersweet chocolate sauce} not my favorite but good nonetheless. We were so fortunate to actually get there when we did and get the seat in the lounge because it was Friday night of Labor Day weekend...it was BUSY.
Me, Kayla, Kami |
My steak and frites with blue cheese butter - yum! |
Kami's scallops |
Kayla's duck confit - YUM |
Saturday morning we had breakfast at our B&B, Sonoma Chalet, it was a rustic, clean and nice little place but the breakfast was pastry and fruit based and I need some meat in the morning! Still, it was delicious and we visited with some other guests.

After that we headed out in our car to go see Napa since we would be hitting up Sonoma on Sunday in our guided tour. Our first stop was Trefethen one of the largest vineyards in acres in the whole Napa Valley. We were some of the first people there so we got a great visit in with our pourer and were able to share a flight of wine {it was 10:30 in the morning so I wasn't really feeling up to drinking yet...}. We thoroughly enjoyed several wines but refrained from buying any since we were at our first stop and didn't know what the weekend had in store for us. {Note-for my next trip I loved the Riesling, Chardonnay and Dragon's Tooth Red wine}
At Trefethen they recommended going up the Silverado Trail to go north up Napa and since we planned on eating lunch at Mustard's Grill it was the perfect scenic route and then we crossed over for lunch. My MIL highly recommended eating at Mustard's and getting the pork chop. Then, every person we told we were going to Mustard's confirmed our good decision making and highly recommended it as well. Let's just say we were not disappointed.
We arrived just after it opened at 11. Almost every table was taken and the ones that weren't had reservations. Again, we were the first to sit at the bar and we were fortunate because it soon filled up after us. This was the recurring theme of the weekend, we got to many places "just in time" and went north or south on the right roads to get just the right traffic. It worked out wonderfully. We originally were supposed to be a girls trip of 7 or 8 of us and it ended up only being Kami and I which was perfect because we now know for eating we will have to have reservations in advance of our trip and if we have 4 or 6+ people we will most likely need reservations for tastings. It was definitely a learning trip for our next trip but we enjoyed every bit of it!!
Anyway, back to Mustard's Grill. Basically, it was a life-changing food experience. I enjoyed sitting at the bar, the bartender was great and had my iced tea filled all the time, the food was divine. So much so, that afterwards Kami said, "I feel like I should write your MIL a thank you note for telling us to eat there." I had the Famous Mongolian Pork Chop, {sweet & sour red cabbage, housemade mustard and mashed taters} while Kami had the burger and we shared a side of 3-cheese Mac & Cheese. It was absolutely, positively my favorite meal of the trip. The Mac&Cheese makes me salivate as I think of it now. Creamy, cheesy, crunchy bread crumbs. I will eat there again. The end.
Next, we again headed north on the Silverado Trail and eventually crossed over and came back down south. We stopped at Domaine Carneros Winery, it was too beautiful not to. It was the largest most commercial place we stopped at and enjoyed some sparkling wines there.
Our last stop of the day was at Benziger Family Winery in Glen Ellen. We got there at 3:30 and a tour was just loading up but was sold out. They offered us the smaller more private tour that had just left, we opted for it and met up with the other six people out on the property. We got a full tour of the property, grapes, cave and more. We tasted a delicious Sauvigon Blanc out in the vineyard then in the Cave {where the store and ferment their wines - literally it's a man-made cave underground} we tasted a few reds and learned more about their wines. After touring the crushing area {we were there 1 week prior to crush} we ended up in the normal tasting room to try a couple more. That is where I tasted my very first Port with a little chocolate and became a believer and fan of Port.
In their cave! |
Tasting in the cave. It's blurry because I rushed to take it before people sat and messed up the table! |
Imagery is a sister vineyard to Benziger and we enjoyed it at our dinner at Red Grape that evening. |
Dinner was at The Red Grape in downtown Sonoma. It's a pizza place with a pretty casual atmosphere. The restaurant itself isn't anything to write home about but the patio outside is lovely. We enjoyed pizza, local wine {of course} and some dessert. Afterwards I was ready to call it a night however, Kami was just getting started. I obliged to walk down the plaza to a bar or somewhere...we heard live music and approached a nice restaurant with a piano player and singer.
This was quite the party. We brought the average age down considerably. We sat down and started enjoying the tunes. That is when Gerri came by and invited us to get out on the dance floor. She is a 74 {I think} year old ball of fire. She is a local, retired journalist for Business Week and pretty much knows everyone and if she doesn't she will meet you. Her dancing is something I cannot put into words. But if you would like I will impersonate on demand...
Sunday we had a full day planned with our tour guide/driver: Wine Country Journeys. They suggested to eat a decent breakfast since we were not eating lunch until after three vineyards...thus we drove in to town {5 minutes} and ate breakfast at El Dorado Corner Cafe in the El Dorado Hotel. It was absolutely delicious.
My duck confit hash with poached eggs! |
Valley Breakfast for Kami |
After breakfast we had some time to kill so we walked around downtown Sonoma a bit.
Mission San Francisco Solano |
Cute succulents |
An interesting cactus of sorts at the Mission |
First stop of the day was at Kachina Vineyards. There we tried a chardonnay, a cabernet and a zinfandel port. The wine was great, the prices were too so I bought a port and chardonnay. My first purchases of the trip. This is why I loved our guide, Jerry, he explained things I wouldn't have known. They have these great boxes you can buy from the grower and put up to 12 bottles in and then check as a bag at the airport. And since we were flying the one and only Southwest we thought we would share a box.
Kachina is owned by husband and wife duo Greg and Nancy, they produce a very small amount of cases per year and only sell directly to their customers and some local places no distributors for them. They are off the grid and 100% solar powered. Cute place, I recommend making the reservation to see them...they are appointment only.
Next up we headed to Talty Vineyards where we were served by Grower/Owner Michael Talty. He specializes in zinfandel grapes...not white zin people the real stuff. I honestly, really enjoyed the wine but did not purchase any. Kami bought some though. I go through a debate in my mind and I opted not to, but not because I didn't enjoy them.
Our third stop of the day was my absolute favorite of the entire trip. I wish I would have wrote about this sooner because as I write this over a month later my memory fades a bit...anyway let me introduce J. Rickards Vineyards aka Darn Fine Barn Wine.
Beautiful flowers overlooking the grapes |
That's Jim. And to the right is Jerry our WCJ tour guide. |
Let me just tell you right here and now, if you ever get to the Alexander Valley go see Jim. He's awesome. The end. He is a former cattle rancher turned "wine grower" his children made awesome coasters that have a pop out mustache that say, "It takes a mighty fine moustache to grow wine like Jim." We literally were there for a couple hours. Yes, he poured all those wines above. Yes, I loved them all. Yes, I joined the wine club! We spent a lot of time in the grapes tasting them and learning about the whole growing process.
It was at J. Rickards that we knew we needed to purchase another box to pack our wine home in...I did buy two bottles for my sweet MIL for watching my angel baby. He has some grapes that are 100 years old and he grafted another vineyard from them so he calls them the mother daughter wine and I of course got her those. And I bought myself a set...and the good news is I just received my first wine club shipment last week and that pair was in it! I'm excited for my 3 wines 4 times a year. His prices were reasonable but the wine is worth it as well. I highly highly highly recommend visiting Jim.
While at Jim's he suggested that for every pour of wine we have to drink about a bottle of water. This is no problem for me because I am straight up addicted to H2o. I visited all of the bathrooms - some more than once - but I never even got a buzz from all of the tasting that day. And if I didn't like a wine, I dumped it. They said it doesn't hurt their feelings and I'm not shy so it worked out. I will confess I don't think I dumped any at J. Rickards...
Next up for lunch we hit up Big John's Market. It pretty much has more cheese than I've ever seen in my life. I can't believe I didn't used to like cheese. I'm so happy I do now. I ordered a panini and then we ate a picnic lunch at our next stop, Amista.
Finally, our fourth and final stop of the day was at Amista Vineyards. I'm not sure if it was because it was our final stop or if I didn't love the wines as much but I was done. I did like a couple of their Syrahs so I bought one. The owners weren't there that day but it was a fun stop nonetheless.
We finished the day eating dinner at Centre du Vin in the Ledson Hotel, where we danced the night away {until 10pm} the night before. Unfortunately, they were severely understaffed and we got the most horrible waiter on the planet Earth but our food was tasty. I of course took advantage of duck confit being on every.single.menu and my love of bacon/BLT's and had the BLTD...d=duck confit. Yummy.
We flew home each with a box of 8 wines checked and planning our next stay in wine country! I highly recommend Wine Country Journeys. They are a husband and wife business and really treat you well. I'm looking forward to going back with a group of us next time!

Fantastic hotel, definitely as good as anywhere in Ireland! Ticked all boxes; friendly service, gorgeous food, nice atmosphere etc. Leisure and spa facilities fantastic, only small improvement would be if the pool inside and outside was warmer, was a bit cold but otherwise we'd have spent hours out there then!

Perhaps the most exciting micro-ATX motherboard based on Intel 7-series chipset, supporting "Ivy Bridge" Core processors, is the ROG Maximus V Gene, from ASUS. This board gives you nearly all the connectivity of larger ATX motherboards, by making use of what little PCB real-estate it has. The board uses a 12-phase VRM to power the LGA1155 CPU, just like the Maximus V Formula. The CPU is wired to four DDR3 DIMM slots. Expansion slots include two PCI-E 3.0 x16 (x8/x8 with both populated), and one open-ended PCI-E 2.0 x4. Connectivity includes two SATA 6 Gb/s, four SATA 3 Gb/s internal ports, six USB 3.0 ports (four rear, two front), SupremeFX III audio with ground-layer isolation from the rest of the motherboard, and a mini-PCIe riser card that packs a dual-band wireless networking adapter. Expect this board to be out in April. Source: VR-Zone
Will consider as an upgrade for my Gene-Z. but the board don't seem to be offering anything above what is available at the moment apart from internal Wifi
Why don't they incorporate the WiFi cards into the board itself like the ones they did with the Ai Lifestyle series?
RIGHT U ARE! and here is a pic of it(showing 32 GB)... not sure if it will be included in retail pack.
Damn it seems like we just got a review on the ASUS Maximus IV Gene-Z. Now the ASUS Maximus V is coming out?

Time Limits ~~
For the safety of participants and to reduce the burden on our volunteers, all participants in the 10 Mile and Half Marathon distances will be required to maintain a minimum pace of 20 min/mile in order to be allowed to complete and receive a finishing time for those distances only. In the 10 Miler, those participants who do not reach the 8 mile water station by 2 hours 40 min after the start (approx. 9:40 am) will be offered a ride back to the finish area. Volunteers will start taking down the finish structure 3 hours 20 min after the race start (approx. 10:20 am). For the half marathon, volunteers will start taking down the finish structure 4 hour 22 min after the race start (approx. 11:22 am). Those participants who are not in a position to finish by that time will be offered a ride back to the finish area. Participants who intend to walk the entire RRS (or otherwise may not be able to maintain a 20 min/mile pace) are encouraged to do the first 6 events to guarantee their status as an 'Official Finisher'.

(No alteration after 1853.)
All precious things, discover'd late, To those that seek them issue forth; For love in sequel works with fate, And draws the veil from hidden worth. He travels far from other skies His mantle glitters on the rocks-- A fairy Prince, with joyful eyes, And lighter footed than the fox.
The bodies and the bones of those That strove in other days to pass, Are wither'd in the thorny close, Or scatter'd blanching on [1] the grass. He gazes on the silent dead: "They perish'd in their daring deeds." This proverb flashes thro' his head, "The many fail: the one succeeds".
He comes, scarce knowing what he seeks: He breaks the hedge: he enters there: The colour flies into his cheeks: He trusts to light on something fair; For all his life the charm did talk About his path, and hover near With words of promise in his walk, And whisper'd voices at his ear. [2]
More close and close his footsteps wind; The Magic Music [3] in his heart Beats quick and quicker, till he find The quiet chamber far apart. His spirit flutters like a lark, He stoops--to kiss her--on his knee. "Love, if thy tresses be so dark, How dark those hidden eyes must be!

Someone asked this same question in the last week or two... As I recall, there are few suggestions worth reading if you can find it
EDIT: Here it is-> looking for an IE ability or utility that can...The propeller is just a big fan in front of the plane used to keep the pilot cool. When it stops, you can actually watch the pilot start sweating.

The relative comfort of the other passengers has to be taken into account. A foul and offensive odor is still a foul and offesive odor, whether it's emanating from an infant or a grown man.
The fact that this woman used the words "discriminated" and "bullied" to describe her encounter with the bus driver, almost makes me sure she's consulted a lawyer.
This is the era of the professional victim.
I like her classy statement, "And it made me feel like crap. It really did."
Just an observation: She has a wee one in diapers, and she's four months pregnant.

Patricia O'Donovan rsm | Evelyn Horan rsm |
Five students from UCC, one student from St. Patrick's College, Carlow and a retired secondary school mother, Máire O'Toole from the West of Ireland will also be travelling.

IndyCar CEO Randy Bernard acknowledges that technicians missed the illegal parts on the car Justin Wilson used to win at Texas Motor Speedway last weekend.
Wilson was docked five points by IndyCar and Dale Coyne Racing was fined $7,500 on Monday for failing an inspection after the race. IndyCar says that Wilson's car had unapproved pieces of bodywork fitted to its sidepods.
Bernard tells The Associated Press during a stop at the Iowa Speedway says it was simply "human error" to blame for Wilson's car getting by inspectors before the race.
Helio Castroneves and Dario Franchitti say Wilson's car gained an edge because of the parts. Wilson says it's embarrassing that neither his team nor IndyCar caught the mistake, the part didn't give him any advantage.

Tips for Your Student's Success in High School By Kathryn Tobias, Past-President, CKM Site Council
Get your student into a "group." "Groups" or activities include music, sports, yearbook, student government, ROTC, one of our academies - criminal justice, etc. If your student's interests are not met by an existing group, talk to one of our assistant principals about setting up a group. Join and attend the PTSA. You'll find out what is going on and you'll meet other parents who can help you navigate CKM. If you or your student is having problems, there are a lot of parents, administrators and teachers who can help. Volunteer. Show your student that CKM is an important part of your family's life. We can use volunteers in the library, at student events, to run or work at the Career Fair, chaperoning dances, help with Teacher Appreciation Lunches - there are many, many opportunities. Your student would die if you came to school and were seen on campus? They'll get over it and, actually, research shows that students take school more seriously when their parents are involved. Encourage your student to talk to their teachers. Talk to your student's teachers. Most of the teachers want to hear from their students. They want to know if students are having a problem with the class or the material. They want to hear about student accomplishments. Some teachers aren't always enthusiastic about hearing from parents - but so what? If your student won't talk to the teacher, then you need to. If you aren't having success with this, please talk to a counselor or an assistant principal.

Jackson Browne
Jackson Browne
In many ways, Jackson Browne was the quintessential sensitive Californian singer/songwriter of the early '70s. Only Joni Mitchell and James Taylor ranked alongside him in terms of influence, but neither artist tapped into the post-'60s Zeitgeist like Browne. While the majority of his classic '70s work was unflinchingly personal, it nevertheless provided a touchstone for a generation of maturing baby boomers coming to terms with adulthood. Not only did his introspective, literate lyrics strike a nerve, but his laid-back folk-rock set the template for much of the music to come out of California during the '70s. With his first four albums, Browne built a loyal following that helped him break into the mainstream with 1976's The Pretender. During the late '70s and early '80s, he was at the height of his popularity, as each of his albums charted in the Top Ten. Midway through the '80s, Browne made a series of political protest records that caused his audience to gradually shrink, but when he returned to introspective songwriting with 1993's I'm Alive, he made a modest comeback.

I think it's that one-on-one game, much like the pickup basketball game at the local park or something similar, which brings the challenge we all enjoy. There will be seasoned turkey hunters who can say they have not been whipped by a long beard in this one-on-one match up, but anyone who has enjoyed the game is quick to agree that getting beat is OK. The game is worth every moment. But it's not the only thing that beckons us to the spring woods each year.
Turkey hunting has become a challenge that the whole family can enjoy- something we can do together and share stories and memories which last season to season and build a heritage like none other. A couple of personal examples may help to highlight what I mean.
As the Hunter Outreach Coordinator for Colorado, I have the opportunity to take young turkey hunters on their first outings each year. A parent in tow, we arrive before the sun breaks the horizon and settle into a blind or up against a good wide tree and yearn to hear the gobbles and clucks of turkey still on the roost. The questions, shivering excitement and simple wonder of the spring turkey woods is always very evident. When the game begins, I start calling, and the toms responds. As the bird approaches us, the excitement of the young hunter becomes highly evident with the sound of rapid breaths, a gun barrel dancing so hard I am surprised a shot could be taken and a picture of pure concentration, so deep that all motion is contained in a small body about to explode. After a hunt, regardless of a harvest or just that wonderful encounter, those young hunters are hooked for life- a dedicated hunter of the long beard who vows to return each spring to the game. And most do, reflected by their annual letters to me, citing their experiences in the field.
Some states allow multiple birds to be harvested by a hunter. Colorado allows a hunter to harvest two birds in the spring, one with a limited license and one with an unlimited license. The opportunity to participate in the game, multiple times, is an opportunity to learn, play and accept the challenge on more than one occasion.
The opportunity for old hand to mentor the young novice is something that takes us back a few decades to a time when life seemed less complicated. Turkey hunters are usually not self made. They find others to teach them to call, talk about set up tactics and other hints to promote success. They seek out the books, magazine articles and the Internet to read about new ideas, decoys, firearms and tactics and share those ideas at the dinner table, the back porch or at work/school. This collective form of mentoring and social support networking all contributes to a passion for this game like no other.

I've had a HUGE week, so this morning I popped out to one of my local favourite cafés where I could be pampered and relax over a great latte or two and a yummy breakfast.
As you can see in the photo, I read an article about Oprah in the newspaper and caught up on what I've missed in the past week or so. That latte was made by my favourite barista, Sean, and was soooo delicious I had to have another one after breakfast
It's been a rather busy time for me as I prepared for – and attended – 3 days at the Sydney Royal Easter Show. I was invited to demonstrate silk painting techniques to the Show's visitors, and I had a simply marvellous time!
From 3 year olds to old folk in wheelchairs, I had so many people wanting to try out their hand at silk painting that I had to get my friend Lynne to quickly stretch some silk and do demonstrations for me on the other side of my Booth. It was fabulously exciting and fast-paced, and we had the best time! Lynn also did demonstrations of how to make silk jewellery – it was very cool, and I took a video to show you.
In the next few days I'll be drawing 3 names out of a hat – visitors to the Booth who filled in the How-to-Paint-on-Silk.com form for the chance to win one silk scarf per day, and I'm very excited to contact all the participants and let them know who's won!
My booth was decorated with some of my handpainted silk scarves, cushion covers, Haori jackets and silk tops, and looked so bright and cheery.
Above: my home for 3 days The How-to-Paint-on-Silk.com Booth …

Oh – before I forget! If anyone in Sydney would like to join me for a Silk Painting Workshop on Sat April 24, please let me know.

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - Traffic is back to normal on the Kennedy Bridge after a bad crash just before the start of the Tuesday afternoon rush hour.
According to MetroSafe, three vehicles were involved in the wreck, which happened in the northbound lanes.
Fortunately, no one was hurt, but the crash caused backups for northbound I-65, along with east and westbound I-64 and southbound I-71.
Emergency crews were able to clear the vehicles and reopened all lanes a short time later.

1996 BMW 3 Series 318is 2dr Coupe 318is 2dr Coupe
I bought this car 6 years ago with 187k on it. I was a poor college kid at the time and it was a relatively inexpensive car. Well the past 3 years I have driven the heck out of it. An hour commute on the backroads of PA (terrible roads), and an hour commute on highways of MD. I've put 100k on it in those 3 years. I have had to replace a lower control arm, and the heater control unit, so about $500 in parts. The speakers have blown and the radio backlight doesn't show up too well. I nearly get 40 mpg and hammer it on the backroads and never ride slower than 80 mph. Great car! I would love another one.
Agility and 5th gear
1996 BMW 3 Series 318is 2dr Coupe 318is 2dr Coupe
With beautiful interior/exterior appearances, this little 1900 cc driven head turner has surprising acceleration and superlative handling prowess. With 315K mileage, my service mechanic always says, "You can't kill these engines," every time I stop by for routine maintenance or inspections. Problem is, however, there have been numerous factory recalls for faulty emission components that have finally caught up to ruin my wistful experiences with this rig. Two (2) bad air sensors and a dysfunctional cam sensor have now put my beamer permanently confined to my driveway, because to repair these at a dealer would cost more than the car is worth unencumbered by these maladies. Dream over.

Our online campaigns, grassroots organizing, and mass public actions are led from the bottom up by people in 188 countries.
To preserve our planet, scientists tell us we must reduce the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere from its current level of 400 parts per million ("ppm")to below 350 ppm. But 350 is more than a number—it's a symbol of where we need to head as a planet.
At 350.org, we're building a global grassroots movement to solve the climate crisis and push for policies that will put the world on track to get to 350 ppm.
Read more about the science behind 350.
Success! In just 45 days, the movement to stop Keystone XL submitted over 1 million comments to oppose the pipeline to the State Department!
We set this goal knowing it was a stretch, and we reached it on the final day of what turned into a comment-sprint to the finish. This shows the breadth and depth of opposition to the pipeline, and provides a clear mandate for President Obama to reject the pipeline.
And the pressure appears to be working: the same day as we submitted our 1 millionth comment, the US Environmental Protection Agency rated the State Dept.'s pipeline review 'insufficient,' pointing out that Keystone XL would be more toxic and have a bigger climate impact than described by State.
Thank you to everyone who submitted, shared and organized to stop the pipeline -- let's keep rolling!
The full press release is below:
"Are you in or are you out?" Aidalyn Celis Arabe, a 350 volunteer questioned the political candidates present during the media activity for Earth Day 2013 initiated by 350 Negros Oriental together with the Philippine Information Agency (PIA), Foundation University and Negros Oriental Bikers Association.
LEVEL UP is 350 Negros Oriental's interactive platform incorporating pressing environmental issues into the political agenda of candidates for community resiliency. Five identified environmental concerns were highlighted: Watersheds, Waste Management, Energy and Coal, Road Sharing, and Mining. Resource speakers are Engr Mark Espedilla, Aidalyn Arabe, Engr Trelly Marigza, Engr Fred Magalllano, and Pol Carino.
Negors Oriental Bikers Association followed an advocacy ride lead by climate activist/cyclist Dondie Seneris in the afternoon.

On Sunday, April 21st -- what we're calling "Earth Night" -- 350.org will premiere a film about our work and our growing movement.
It features the big tour we did across the country last fall, and so the film is also called "Do the Math." The trailer for the movie was just released a few minutes ago -- check it out:
On the night of April 21st, people will gather in hundreds of living rooms and libraries across the country for the premiere of the movie. Meeting in person is the lifeblood of our movement, and we hope that gathering to watch this snazzy film can be an opportunity to connect with new people and grow the movement locally.
I've already had a chance to preview the movie; it is an inspiring, beautiful, and fast-paced story that shows the power of the growing climate movement. It clocks in at 42-minutes -- and it packs a lot in: from the cross-country tour we did last year, to the latest dispatches from leaders in the fight to stop Keystone XL, to the campaign to divest from fossil fuels.
You won't want to miss it. Click here to watch the the trailer and join (or create!) an Earth Night gathering in your community.
We also have a page that answers a lot of questions you might have about the movie -- check it out here: www.350.org/math
Anna for the whole 350.org team
P.S. April 21st is one day before the end of the State Department's public comment period on the Keystone XL pipeline -- so we'll make sure folks can collect and submit comments at local events.
So you're a progressive and you've been sitting on the sidelines of the Keystone XL fight. Sure, you've heard about the pipeline but you haven't yet drawn your sword and taken up the struggle. As the story has gotten increasingly complex, maybe you've lost the plot a little. Well! Here's your chance to get up to speed and in the game with the Keystone XL to Game of Thrones converter, a sure fire way to understand who the players are in this all important battle for Westeros, er, the climate.
House Lannister
Joffrey Baratheon
CEO Russ Girling sits on the iron throne at TransCanada, the Canadian company behind the $5.3 billion KXL project. Like King Joffrey, he likes to to be in charge but when the going gets tough he expects his minions to do the dirty work. (The King's Guard in this case threatens landowners with eminent domain, lies about jobs, and disregards climate science.). You know how the actor who plays Joeffrey is so good that you'd kind of worry for his safety if he wandered into the wrong place, like a Boston bar after 10 on a night when the Sox lost? Someone might think he really is the fink known as Joeffrey and take a swing. Well, Girling must have similar fears, especially when people find out that he's willing to put profit ahead of the health of the planet. If that's not the type of dastardly deed that Joeffrey might try to pull off I don't know what is.
Tywin Lannister
Jack Gerard of the American Petroleum Institute and Tywin could be brothers separated at birth. Like Tywin, Jack's not afraid to beg, borrow or steal to get his way. In fact Gerard and his crew over at API, according to The Nation, spent a whopping $68 million on lobbying in 2011. Tywin has that sort of scratch now that he controls the seven kingdoms, and I'm sure he'd feel right at home on K St. with the thugs in their three piece Brooks Brothers suits. Man I sure hope Gerard is nicer to his son than Tywin is to my main man Lord Tyrian.
Cersei Lannister
This one's easy. Alberta Premier Alison Redford is the clear choice. Like Cersei, she's got a brother in arms that she's a little too close to--in her case Stephen Harper--and she's not afraid to splash the cash around to get her way. Redford just made her fourth lobbying trip to Washington to advocate for KXL, one of the most destructive projects on earth, all while she sings the praises of Alberta's clean energy record. It reminds me of how Cersei defends Joffrey at all times, despite the fact that the dude's favorite hobby is ordering beheadings like he's ordering a Blooming Onion at the King's Landing Outback Steakhouse. Get a grip, Cersei.
House Stark
Eddard Stark
If Eddard Stark had a PhD and worked at NASA, he'd be Dr. James Hansen. It was Hansen who first sounded the alarm on Keystone, laying out the case that it would be "game over for the climate" if the pipeline was approved. Like Stark, who became the King's Hand with much trepidation and fear, Hansen didn't want to take on this fight but he was drawn into it out of a sense of duty. As you know, things didn't end well for old Eddard, but there's time left to win on Keystone. Winter may be coming, but it's not here yet.
Jon Snow
President Obama and John Snow have almost too much in common. Both are conflicted men with smoldering eyes, and their destiny is theirs to make. John Snow has found himself up North fighting off the White Walkers, a clear metaphor for Exxon if there ever was one. (The want to destroy Westeros. Duh.) John Snow wants to do what's right and has a true sense of duty, but he's got some bad temptations (Egret) that could drag him down into the muck. Obama is much the same. He wants to do what's right on climate, but his Egrets are filling his head with bad thoughts. What if the Republicans come after me for not being pro oil? What if gas prices spike and I get blamed? Get real, sir, the White Walkers are coming for you no matter what. Might as well man up, grab your sword and fight the good fight. Mr. President, the climate is your Wall. Defend it.
Rep. Joe Barton is a long-time Texas Congressman with a love for fossil fuels and a penchant for the dramatic. So it shouldn't be a great surpise that yesterday, during a House hearing on the Keystone XL pipeline, Rep. Barton went biblical when talking about his support for the project.
Said. Rep Barton: "I would point out that if you're a believer in in the Bible, one would have to say the Great Flood is an example of climate change and that certainly wasn't because mankind had overdeveloped hydrocarbon energy."
That's an interesting point of view. It's not one, however that's held by the scientific community, who actually studies this stuff. As you know somewhere around 97% of atmospheric scientists believe in anthropegenic climate change. They may believe in the Great Flood too, but I doubt they would cite that as evidence that man is not affecting the climate. Leave that to Rep. Barton.

LONDON -- Approximately 60 activists, including some from Texas and the Gulf Coast, gathered outside the G8 foreign ministers' meeting at Lancaster House in London today to tell US Secretary of State John Kerry to reject the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline, address the global climate crisis, and keep tar sands out of Europe.
Over the past month, activists have confronted Kerry and President Obama at nearly all of their public appearances, including an event last week that drew over 1,000 people in San Francisco to a rally outside of an Obama fundraiser. This is the first time a US politician has been met with an anti-Keystone protest on foreign soil. The activists were joined by representatives of Texas and Gulf Coast communities opposed to the pipeline.
Bryan Parras, a resident of Houston, Texas and environmental justice advocate with TEJAS (Texas Environmental Justice Advocacy Services), who joined the UK campaigners at the protest said:
"The KXL Pipeline is set to deliver a toxic slurry of dirty oil to communities across the US. If exported to the UK, it could soon start poisoning these shores too. As we have seen from all the pipeline spills in the last two weeks, the delivery of tar sands is too risky and too costly for the communities in harm's way. Keep the oil in the soil, and just say no to the KXL tar sands pipeline."
President Obama is expected to make his decision on the pipeline in the autumn. Keystone XL has become a flashpoint in the climate fight. Thousands have been arrested over the pipeline, and on Feb 13 over 40,000 people came to the White House to tell Obama to reject the pipeline.
The pipeline is intended for export, and UK campaigners are concerned that, if it's approved, imports of tar sands oil into Europe will increase. There is currently a battle raging in Europe over the issue of future tar sands imports. The European Union is trying to pass a piece of legislation to reduce emissions from transport fuels. Known as the Fuel Quality Directive, it would strongly discourage tar sands imports, but lobbying by the Canadian government and the oil industry has seriously delayed it. A vote is now expected in October 2013, and if passed, the case for the Keystone XL pipeline would be seriously weakened.
Ruthi Brandt from the UK Tar Sands Network said: "People in London are here today to stand with those resisting tar sands expansion in Alberta and pipelines in the US. The Keystone XL will affect us too, because the pipeline is intended for export. The reality of tar sands oil coming to the UK is not far off, with a refinery in Pembrokeshire lined up by Valero to bring imports of tar sands from the Gulf of Mexico. So we're here to let John Kerry know that we don't want this dirty oil. In the EU we are pushing for legislation to make sure that tar sands imports are strongly discouraged due to their high emissions. We hope other countries will follow suit. We need to leave the tar sands in the ground, and make the transition to sustainable transport fuels that don't devastate local communities and cost the Earth."
The protest was organised and supported by:
350.org, Campaign Against Climate Change, Climate Rush, The Climate and Health Council, Friends of the Earth England, Wales and Northern Ireland, Healthy Planet UK, Occupy London: Energy, Equity and Environment group, Push Europe, Pembrokeshire Friends of the Earth, People & Planet, TEJAS (Texas Environmental Justice Advocacy Services), UK Tar Sands Network, UKYCC, World Development Movement.

On March 29th, ExxonMobil's Pegasus pipeline, which was retrofitted to transport tar sands oil spilled an unknown amount of oil into the town of Mayflower, Arkansas.
This spill highlights the risks of building the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline, which would carry 9 times more oil than the pipeline that broke. Even if the oil doesn't spill, it still pours into the atmosphere as climate-warming CO2.
We're working with allies across the movement to submit 1 million comments to the State Department to stop Keystone XL -- click here to add yours: act.350.org/letter/a_million_strong_against_keystone/
Below is a post from Doug Miller who helped organize an action targeting Sen. Bill Nelson in Tallahassee, Florida:
After Wednesday's action against the KXL in Tallahassee, I'm convinced that the greatest source of renewable energy in the climate justice movement is the courage of my fellow activists.
Despite a last-minute venue change, no mainstream press, and a cancelled visit from Senator Bill Nelson's aide, I saw 25 activists venture through the stormy Tally spring evening and turn their personal feelings of powerlessness and neglect into collective hope and power.
Elected officials Martha Lang, Tabitha Frazier, and FSU student-leader Jessica Blackburn reminded us of KXL's true cost to Floridians. I got to speak with everyone about the significance of the long-term zero-sum game over building KXL: to win we must play smart, take care of ourselves and each other, and model the courage-to-hope.
After speaking, the group talked about 350.org's university divestment campaign, and strategic connections were made between local university boosters and student-activists.
Then we climbed uphill in the now-light rain, and mailed approximately 30 postcards to Senator Bill Nelson's Washington office.
There are many more coming.

Cost Reduction in Central Government: Summary of Progress: Cabinet Office and HM Treasury
HC 1788, Report by the Comptroller and Auditor General, Session 2010-12
- Author:
- National Audit Office (NAO)
- Publisher:
- TSO (The Stationery Office)
'Cost Reduction in Central Government: Summary of Progress: Cabinet Office and HM Treasury (HC 1788)' concludes that departments took effective action in 2010-11 cutting spending in real terms by 2.3% or £7.9 billion compared with 2009-10. The analysis of departments' accounts supports the Efficiency and Reform Group's estimate that Government spending moratoria and efficiency initiatives, including cuts to back-office and avoidable costs, contributed around half of the figure, some £3.75 billion.
However, the report warns that departments are less well-placed to make the long-term changes needed to achieve the further 19% over the four years to 2014-15 as required by the spending review. This is partly because of gaps in their understanding of costs and risks, making it more difficult to identify how to deliver activities and services at a permanently lower cost. Fundamental changes will be needed to achieve sustainable reductions on the scale required.
It is unclear how far spending reductions represent year-on-year changes in efficiency, or whether front-line services are affected; and the departments' forward plans examined by the NAO are not based on a strategic view. Departments' financial data on basic spending patterns is sufficient to manage budgets in-year, but information about the consequences of changes in spending is less good.
Longer term reform is a Cabinet Office priority and departments will need to look beyond short-term cost cutting measures and make major operational change. Cost reduction plans also need to build in contingency measures to cover unexpected risks.

New Film Tells Geologists' Story
Rocks: It's a Family Affair
They sit on sofas, around coffee tables and on outdoor rocks in the backyard -- sometimes with grandparents and wives and brothers and sisters -- talking the way those in documentaries usually talk.
You hear stories about growing up poor, high school triumphs, business successes and failures; you see the graduation and vacation photos and the grainy ones, too, when fathers had hair and sons had beards; and you watch the pride, bemusement and joy of people working in an often incomprehensible profession.
But in this case a common thread weaves through the stories and the pictures and memories, tying one generation to another: Geology.
That's the world that Dave Emme wanted to capture on film. That's the story he wanted the world to hear.
Welcome to "GeoFamilies -- How I Learned to Love the Rocks," a new documentary made by the son of geologists who remembers lovingly listening to hear his parents' stories of their profession (petroleum) and their love (geology).
The movie features more than a dozen AAPG members -- seven families -- including two past AAPG presidents, who by reflecting on their careers and family bonds offer a universal portrait of those drawn to the wonders of the earth.
"GeoFamilies," as the first half of the name suggests, is a documentary about geology; more importantly, as the second half indicates, it's also about families.
"Mainly I wanted to make a film that the geologic community would find entertaining and also look at with a source of pride," says David Emme, a Palo Alto, Calif., based filmmaker who both directed and produced the hour-long film.
"I also think that it's important to preserve the personalities of each generation."
To that end, Emme has these families reliving what it's like and what it means to be in the earth sciences.
"I wanted to understand why people got into the field and stayed in it, so the film goes through the whole experience from childhood and school to careers and retirement."
Left, professor Bob Weimer and young student Steve Sonnenberg; right, the slightly older but still-young professional Sonnenberg with his geologist father, Frank.

Personal Perspectives
Geology, as he was reminded, is a collaborative effort -- even if the collaboration is sometimes a bumpy road.
In the film, there's a memorable scene where Paul and AAPG member Daryl Stewart, father and son owners of Stewart Petroleum, are talking about their company's early days in the mid-1980s and how they used to work on a red felt table underneath a Pink Floyd poster in Daryl's room.
As the business starts to grow, Daryl thinks the new company should get a computer, something Paul vows he'd never use.
"Still," says Daryl, "we had a friend come over, fed him some scotch, let him bounce on the trampoline we have, and he got us set up on the computer."
Paul smiles as Daryl tells the story.
You can see it in his eyes: The kid was right on this one.
Also sharing memories and experiences with their son and father, respectively, are past AAPG presidents Robert "Bob" Weimer, who shares screen time with his son, Paul, and Steve Sonnenberg, who joins his father Frank for some reflective and perceptive views of their professional love and personal journey.
Why geology?
"Geologists become interested in geology for a number of reasons, but definitely it is the outdoors and the hiking and the trying to unravel this earth history piece," Steve Sonnenberg says, perhaps speaking for everyone in the film.
"(It's) the big puzzle," he said of the earth, "that sometimes we go to look at because it intrigues and captures the imagination of people -- and makes them geologists."
Paul Weimer, a tenured professor at the University of Colorado, a past AAPG officer and Distinguished Lecturer who has spoken to groups on five continents, said that another bond felt by geologists is the feeling that "there are no borders.
"As geologists, you can meet people and just instantly be friends -- just hit it off immediately," Weimer said.
And his father, who in addition to being a past president is also an AAPG Honorary Member, Distinguished Educator Award winner and Sidney Powers medalist, defines the geologic bond succinctly and perfectly:
"It all starts with the rocks."
Rock On
Emme, who says he wanted to document the character of geology and the characteristics of those who go into the profession, says becoming a filmmaker was not something he had in mind when he graduated from Stanford University in 2006.
Even today, he knows there's something in his DNA that makes him hard to categorize.
"When it took me two hours to answer the 'What is your permanent address?' question from my insurance agent, I realized that I'm harder to predict than most."
His initial foray into filmmaking was going to be a documentary on the local music scene in Boston, but was contacted by a family friend, Brian Richter, a geologist and AAPG member who appears in the film, who wanted to make a film about multi-generational geologic families.
It was Richter, incidentally, who provided most of the funding for the film, which was completed for less than $3,700.
Emme says it took him about 20 minutes to put the music documentary on hold and begin work on GeoFamilies.
He started DRE Films and, because both of his parents are geologists, says he had an intuitive feel for the characteristics that define geology and the geologist, though he says his appreciation for the profession has grown since doing the film.
As for GeoFamilies, he contacted his subjects, conducted and edited the interviews and was, generally, in charge of every step of the process.
To him, there is geology, literally, in the blood of those featured. Like children, he said, geologists have to keep their sense of wonder and excitement.
And when children are raised in such an environment, you can see the symmetry and connection in a very real way.
"When a geo-family goes camping," he said, "mom and dad spend all their time doing exactly what the children want to do; wandering around looking at things. Everyone is picking things up and breaking them with hammers to see what's inside, finding rocks, climbing rocks, even licking rocks and, in general, exploring. At any given point in a child's life, there is always an appropriate life-lesson that can be taught through geology.
"The bond created by those shared activities is enormous, especially when established over a lifetime."
A Good Start
Emme is aware that the film, a portion of which was shown as part of the opening session at the recent AAPG Annual Convention in Long Beach, has a certain "inside baseball" feel to it -- but that, he says, can act as not only a balm to geologists and their families, but even as a recruiting tool.
"I would like the film to get out."
The film, which is being distributed by the Rocky Mountain Association of Geologists and also available through the AAPG Bookstore, was recently first screened in Denver for those who were featured, and Emme was heartened by the "energy and excitement" in the room.
"When you get 17 geologists telling stories and talking about how much they love geology," he says, "it's hard not to make it sound like a really good field, which could serve as a nice synopsis for somebody thinking about pursuing it as a career."
And for those who don't, Emme says the film is for "anybody who wants to understand why their crazy friends and family love rocks so much."
